| Adverts: Computerized Medical Records Could Save Billions |
|
| Anonymous writes "Computerizing medical records could save the U.S. health-care system more than
$81 billion a year and improve health care, according to a study by the Rand
Health, an independent health policy research program.
"Our findings strongly suggest that it is time for the government and others
who pay for healthcare to aggressively promote health information technology,"
study leader Richard Hillestad, a Rand senior management scientist, said in
a prepared statement.
The findings from the two-year study were published Sept. 14 in two articles
in the journal Health Affairs, and were funded by companies involved in health
information technology. The researchers say it's the most detailed analysis
ever conducted of the potential benefits of electronic
medical records.
According to Hillestad, the U.S. health care system would save $77 billion
annually if 90 percent of doctors and hospitals across the country used health
information technologies. Much of those savings would come from shorter hospital
stays for patients, more efficient use of nursing staff, and better use of drugs,
labs and other resources.
Another $4 billion annually could be saved due to improved safety, with patients
and doctors better alerted to prescription errors and other mistakes.
Hillestad's team recommend that the U.S. government speed up efforts to set
universal standards for health information technology to encourage wider adoption
of electronic medical records. The
study authors also suggested that the federal government consider financial
incentives to healthcare providers and institutions who use approved electronic
medical record systems.
These financial incentives could include increased Medicare payments to doctors
and grants to institutions who use the information technology.
"A national system of electronic medical record keeping could take a significant
bite out of healthcare costs. These systems are expensive, but it doesn't take
long before the benefits surpass the costs. People may choose to take the savings,
or savings may be used to provide insurance to the uninsured. Savings might
also be invested to make further improvements in the quality of healthcare,"
Hillestad said.

| Adverts: Vitamin C -- The Most Famous of Vitamins! |
|
Anonymous writes "By David Leonhardt
We call Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, "the most famous of vitamins" because it really is the best known. It is the first one schoolchildren learn. It is the most cited cure for the common cold. Most people can rhyme off at least a few foods that contain vitamin C. And vitamin C is the single most searched nutrient on the Internet.
HISTORY: Nobel Prize winning biochemist Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi first isolated vitamin C in 1928. (As someone of Hungarian descent, I find this a touch exciting.)
Vitamin C first got its reputation for beating the common cold in 1970, when fellow Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling published his bestselling book "Vitamin C and the Common Cold". In it, he suggested that taking vitamin C at levels well above the USA RDA (now 60 milligrams per day) could strengthen the immune system and help ward off the common cold.
BENEFITS: Vitamin C helps form collagen, a glue-like fibrous protein in bone, cartilage, tendons and other connective tissue. Vitamin C helps give structure and maintain such body parts as bones, cartilage, muscle, veins, capillaries and teeth.
But recent studies have also linked "adequate dosages" of vitamin C to preventing a number of common cancers, of helping boost the nervous system, of prolonging life, of reducing the risk of heart disease, of softening the symptoms of respiratory diseases such as asthma and cystic fibrosis, and of keeping skin and glands healthy.
SOURCES: Most animals manufacture their own vitamin C. Primates, such as humans, gorillas, and monkeys, have somehow lost this ability.
Which is why we need to get our vitamin C from our diets.
It is well known that citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, tangerines, limes, mandarins and others contain vitamin C.
In fact, vitamin C comes almost exclusively from fruits and vegetables.
Other good sources are tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, rutabagas, cantaloupe, kiwi, papayas, potatoes and watermelon.
One place that is NOT a good source are vitamin C pills, which the body just cannot absorb properly. This is a water soluble vitamin best taken in its natural juice or in a liquid supplement.
OPTIMUM USAGE: Fortunately, if you consume too much of a water soluble vitamin, your body will get rid of excess. It also means that your body does not store it for long periods of time. You can't "stock up" on it, and you can reach a saturation point quickly; you need vitamin C several times a day.
Being a water-soluble vitamin, you lose it when you boil foods. For instance, if you boil your broccoli, you will lose the vitamin C. However, if you boil your broccoli in a soup, you will get the broccoli's vitamin C in the broth.
Do not soak or store fruits or vegetables in water, for you can lose the vitamin C that way. In short, the fresher cut the fruit or vegetable, and the less cooked, the more vitamin C you will get.
Like all vitamins and minerals, Vitamin C is most effective when combined with other nutrients. For example, one of the big benefits of vitamin C is that it helps the body digest and absorb iron, an essential mineral for good health.
It has also been found that vitamin C and E work together to help stave off Alzheimer's disease.
This is one of the reasons it is so important to take vitamin supplements that contain as many different nutrients as possible, so the body can absorb them together and enjoy the maximum benefits from each one.
DOSAGE: Most experts agree that the US RDA is only a fraction of what it should be, and that daily vitamin C levels up to 1,000 or even 2,000 milligrams per day are safe and healthy.
Essential Nectar contains 250% of the US RDA, mixing it with 233 other natural, plant-based nutrients...making it a good vitamin C supplement for your diet.

Anonymous writes "By David Leonhardt
Vitamin E is an absolutely vital nutrient in your body, but it probably can't do half the things you heard it can.
What does vitamin E do? To begin, it is an antioxidant. It tames dangerous free radicals and helps prevent blood clots and blockages in coronary arteries. Research points to its ability to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart attacks and some cancers.
Vitamin E is also believed to slow the aging process and to help nerve conduction. Most importantly, it works to enhance and even protect vitamin C and Vitamin A.
There is also promising research that vitamin E might help prevent or slow the onset of cataracts in the eyes.
Vitamin E has been touted as a cure for just about everything but a broken heart. I am sure that's coming, though. Here are just a few of the diseases and conditions vitamin E has been credited with curing or preventing:
Parkinson's disease
Infertility in both men and women
Alzheimer's disease
Hepatitis
eye tissue inflammation
fibromylagia
hair loss
PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome)
heavy menstruation
healing wounds
diabetes
atherosclerosis
menopause
osteoarthritis
even restless leg syndrome!
It might well prove that vitamin is helpful in some of these and other conditions, but probably not in many or even most of them.
As with many vitamins, there is a raging debate over how much vitamin E you need. The US recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 8-10 milligrams per day. But most people in the nutrition field believe that to capture the long-term benefits, people need 10 to 20 times that quantity, which is well short of the maximum recommended 1,000 milligrams.
Vitamin E is found in many foods in small quantities. The good news is that almost everyone gets sufficient vitamin E to avoid a deficiency, with a few exceptions noted below. The bad news is that most people do not get the RDA. This is definitely a vitamin that should be supplemented.
Be careful about what supplements you choose, since the synthetic version of vitamin E is not even half effective as in its natural form. Look for nutritional supplements containing natural vitamin E, preferably in liquid form.
People on low fat diets need supplements the most, since fats and oils are the largest sources of vitamin E. Nuts and green, leafy vegetables are also good sources, as are egg yolks and liver. So are whole grains.
Vitamin E probably will never cure your broken heart, nor live up to half of the claims people make about it. But it is an important vitamin for maintaining good health and it is needed in quantities above what most people take in their diet.

| Adverts: Top Five Techniques for Getting Into Your First-Choice College |
|
Anonymous writes "Customize your approach.
Applying to college is an exercise in self-promotion. When you send in a college application, you’re sending a sales pitch to a customer with thousands of competing offers at its fingertips. It’s important that every college feel like they’re at the top of your list, so send each one an application that reflects your interest in them specifically. If you take a few extra hours to craft essays and resumes that address each school directly, admissions officers will surely take notice.
Know what they want.
If you look at a school’s admissions website or thumb through the mailings they’ve sent you, you’ll probably be left with some impression of what their campus community is like. For many schools, this impression is partly an exaggeration—-they want you to apply, so their literature highlights the best of what the school has to offer. Try to fit yourself into the idealized picture they’ve painted. If you think you’d enjoy participating in the clubs and activities they mention, let them know. If they do student profiles, recognize what you have in common with the featured students and be sure to highlight those qualities somewhere in your application. If a school thinks your presence will help move their image forward, they’ll bring you in.
Control Your Letters of Recommendation.
Few students recognize the amount of influence they have over what goes into their letters of recommendation. Just because you’re not writing a letter yourself doesn’t mean that you have no control over its content. Your letters of recommendation should both introduce new information and reinforce the impression that you’ve set forth regarding your character. With this in mind, it’s perfectly appropriate to let the writer know what you’ve already told the college and what specifically you hope to see in their letter. In fact, your requests will usually give the writer a solid foundation, making it much easier for them to get started.
Use Every Chance You Get to Self-Promote.
Many students look at personal statements, resumes and essays as time-consuming burdens that do little more than consume their senior years. However, these are the pieces of an application that separate you from the masses. Every application has at least one section that you can take in whatever direction you want without it seeming forced. Identify that section, be it a personal statement or even your resume, and leave it for last. When everything else is done, read the whole application through and make a list of what you wish you’d included but didn’t get a chance to say. Then create that final piece, making sure to include all the points you felt you’d missed.
Believe Everything You Write.
College applicants have a tendency to exaggerate their accomplishments and experiences in some way or another. If you find yourself glorifying the things you’ve done over the past four years, it helps to look back and ask yourself just how much of what you’ve put down is a reasonable representation of what you’ve actually done. Try to make sure that everything you advertise about yourself is strongly grounded in reality. Your modesty and integrity will show through to the many admissions offers that can detect tall tales from a mile away.

Anonymous writes "As many as one in 100 individuals across the UK suffer from severe excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, according to the clinical paper Boni R. in Kreydon OP, Boni R, Burg G (eds); Hyperhidrosis and Botulinum Toxin in Dermatology. Many more people suffer from mild or moderate forms of the medical condition.
If you’re one of those unlucky individuals afflicted with the embarrassing condition and are familiar with clammy handshake syndrome or underarm perspiration overload then don’t get in a sweat about it! Thanks to an established treatment offered by SWEAT BREAKER, specialist in the provision of non-surgical procedures for excessive sweating, help is at hand to wipe out the problem.
Founded by respected consultant surgeon, Mr Adrian Richards, the company is committed to treating excessive sweating in localised areas including armpits, hands, feet, head and face. The straightforward procedure, in the form of Botox® injections, is highly effective and will keep excessive sweating under control. The virtually pain free process involves injecting a tiny amount of Botox® solution just under the skin, in approximately ten to 15 different sites, at 1cm intervals, using a very fine needle (the same type of needle that is used for premature babies). All in all, the treatment takes only 10 minutes, its effects last on average of seven months and results can be expected in a little as three days.
Botox® treatment has been used successfully for over 20 years and is backed by extensive clinical trials, with over 1400 medical research papers showing it to be safe. The treatment, which is administered by a highly trained medical practitioner, works by blocking the action of nerves that supply the eccrine glands, preventing them from producing sweat.
Prior to the treatment, a dedicated team of highly trained staff will talk you through the procedure whilst a medical practitioner will assess you in order to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
“Hyperhidrosis is a genetic condition which blights many people’s lives and often has a profound effect on self esteem and confidence levels,” commented Mr Adrian Richards, MSc, FRCS (Plas) Consultant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon. “Traditionally, the only solutions available for excessive sweating have included strong antiperspirant deodorants, topical applications of aluminium chloride and, in severe cases, invasive and extensive surgery such as curettage involving scraping out the eccrine glands – a mutilating, potentially dangerous and incredibly painful procedure with varying results. I am delighted to be in a position to offer sufferers a simple, safe, effective and proven non-surgical procedure that will eradicate the problems for months at a time.”
Like it or not, we all have to sweat in order to maintain a regular body temperature. If your body is too hot, blood vessels dilate to let more blood reach the skin, where the blood cools. Then sweat glands produce more sweat, and that evaporates to cool the skin. But for many people, sweating doesn’t just occur when the body overheats. Exercise, stressful situations, anxiety, even alcohol, or spicy food can trigger hyperhidrosis. In extreme cases, excessive sweating can occur regardless of an individual’s situation or state-of-mind. What’s more, concern over the condition breeds sweating.
So in future, don’t work yourself up into a sweat about it. Opt for SWEAT BREAKER’s tried and tested treatment for lasting results.

| Adverts: Serious Dieting Tips, Humorous Explanations |
|
Anonymous writes "By David Leonhardt
A few months ago, I set out to lose 22.6 pounds, then to put back on at least half of it.
Huh? Anybody who's ever found herself stuck on a yo-yo diet is probably thinking that I am either crazy or planning way too hard for the inevitable yo-yo heartaches. However, my plan is more sneaky than that.
First, I want to lose this rubber tire I've been carrying around my waist. Have you ever gotten stuck inside a rubber tire? It's not a pretty site.
Then, I want to put back some of that weight in the form of muscle. It's my grand master plan to change my shape from looking like a silly pear to looking like an upside down silly pear.
Will it work?
I think I have the "silly" part figured out. And so far, I have lost14.6 pounds, but I think I really lost a few more, because I have been getting ahead of schedule on adding those muscle pounds.
I would love to tell you what my weight is now, but that's very private information. Why should it be so private? I am not 100% certain, but I believe it is so that people can easily move between Earth and the Moon without being detected by hidden scales. (Why people keep their age private is the subject of my column on aging gracefully.
While there is more to healthy dieting than a few tips, these ten dieting tips should help you laugh away a few pounds (What a great way to lose!). Hint: the tips are serious; the explanations are not.
Tip #1: Never eat before bed. This is just common sense. It is so much more fun to eat IN bed.
Tip #2: Bake, don't fry. This is also common sense. Baking allows you to retain more friendships. When you bake in the sun, you get a nice tan and go for a dip in the pool to cool off with your friends. But when you fry, you get a sunburn and don't dare go in the shower for a week...which scares your friends away.
Tip #3: Drink plenty of water before meals. This will help you eat less during the meal. After all, few people can over-eat consistently while rushing off to the bathroom.
Tip #4: Don't taste-test while you cook. Many cooks taste their dishes several times while cooking to make sure the flavor is just right. Over a lifetime, the typical cook who takes such measures will put on 13.4 pounds. Worse still, tasting your cooking in advance deprives you of entertaining facial scrunches when your family tastes your untested recipes. (Remember that laughter is a great way to burn calories?)
Tip #5: Don't eat what your kids leave behind. Admit it, after your kids leave the table, you gather up the food they leave behind. You just can't bear to throw it away because you know that it's enough to feed a small, famished African country. So you eat a "second supper" out of guilt. How can you be so heartless?! Send the leftover food to that small, famished African country.
Tip #6: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not all that bad for you, if you eat them in moderation. But stay away from those dreaded peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches.
Tip #7: Blot your pizza to remove 17% of the saturate fats. If you blot it really well, you can remove 100%. Of course, an empty plate might require a spicier sauce...
Tip #8: No snacking in front of the TV. Get up. Right now. No snacking in front of my TV. I don't want crumbs on my living room carpet.
Tip #9: Schedule your exercise. It's true, if you don't schedule it, your exercise will get pushed aside by things you do schedule. I suggest scheduling it during office meetings, dental appointments and reality TV shows. You wouldn't want to miss anything important, would you?
Tip #10: This is a good one. Why, because #10 on any top-ten list is always a good one. Ten is a great number. So tip #10 is to celebrate every ten pounds lost by preparing a triple chocolate double-dip cheesecake supreme ice cream parfait deluxe. Go ahead and drool. You deserve it. And if you think preparing it is fun, just wait until you lose another 50 pounds ... and have permission to actually eat it.
I hope these tips help you. On a serious note, most people will lose a significant amount of weight if they follow these ten tips along with watching their calories according to any popular healthy dieting plan. Well...almost. You might not want to follow tip #6. You will probably lose fewer pounds eating jelly than you would eating jellyfish.

Thanks to an established range of treatments offered by LINE BREAKER, specialist in the provision of non-surgical procedures you can prevent the visible signs of aging.
Founded by respected consultant surgeon, Mr Adrian Richards and Melanie Smith a specialist aesthetic nurse, the company is committed to preventing the visible signs of aging. The straightforward procedures, are in the form of Botox®, Restylane® and Juvederm® injections and a range of skin peel products including Obagi Blue Peel and Glycolic Peel. Also included in the range of non-surgical procedures are Isolagen® and IAL System.
Botox® is highly effective at treating forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. The virtually pain free process involves injecting a tiny amount of Botox® solution just under the skin, in sites on the area to be treated, using a very fine needle (the same type of needle that is used for premature babies). All in all, the treatment takes only 10 minutes, its effects last on average of four to six months and results can be expected in a little as fourteen days.
Botox® treatment has been used successfully for over 20 years and is backed by extensive clinical trials, with over 1400 medical research papers showing it to be safe and effective. The treatment, which is administered by a highly trained medical practitioner, works by the botulinum toxins attaching themselves to nerve endings and blocking the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. This releases the muscles and allows the skin to repair deep wrinkles from the bottom up.
Restylane® is a popular non-animal alternative to collagen replacement therapy and consists of a clear gel, which will smooth wrinkles and folds and give contours, as well as providing lip augmentation.
Juvederm® is a hyaluronic acid in the form of viscoelastic gel, which is transparent and homogenous and has emerged as a compound for filling in wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a physiological constituent of dermal tissue which maintains local moisture content and is gradually reabsorbed with time.
Obagi Blue Peel® is a procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin, as well as even out any pigmentary problems involving the face and other areas of the body suitable for men and women of any skin type and colour. It is ideal for anyone who wants to look better and reverse the appearance of the ageing process. Those who have blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage, or general poor skin quality will benefit the most.
Glycolic Peel is comprised of an all natural alpha hydroxy acid derived from sugar cane. Alpha Hydroxy acids occur naturally in certain fruits and foods. Of all the alpha hydroxy acids, Glycolic is the smallest in molecular size. This small molecular size allows it to penetrate the skin.
Treatment with Glycolic acid is gentler than chemical peels and is used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin of the face by removing its damaged outer layers.
Rejuvenation treatment unlike any other available today.
IAL System is a long acting bio-revitalisation programme to recreate a youthful appearance by restoring elasticity, firmness and hydration of skin. As we age, the level of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases considerably, leading to the appearance of ageing skin and the formation of lines and wrinkles. IAL stimulates the production of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, all vital components of younger looking skin.

| Adverts: Two Worldviews - Hypnosis for the 21st Century |
|
Anonymous writes "How you choose to look at a world will determine what you will be able to accomplish with hypnosis, because your perception will influence your belief system. How you perceive yourself and your relationship to the world will determine what will be possible and what will be impossible for you to accomplish.
Traditional therapeutic hypnosis emerged from obscurity and gained popularity in the west primarily through its acceptance by medical practitioners. Medical science, even as practiced today, is still based on the worldview which goes back about 300 years ago. It is the worldview of classical, Newtonian, physics, which looks upon the universe and the human body as consisting of separate parts, solid objects, which are just part of the machinery. We even use the metaphor of computer hardware and software to describe workings of the subconscious mind, but there is one major difference between computers and subconscious mind: computers don't have feelings, desires and fears. Subconscious, on the other hand, is the realm of emotions. The supreme ruler of the subconscious is Love. Fear is that which creates obstacles and roadblocks, Love is that which opens the way.
A couple of centuries ago, Descartes made contribution to philosophy and science by suggesting that mind and body are entirely separate and have nothing to do with each other. Incredible as it may be, our modern medical science still firmly holds to this worldview. For a medical doctor, claiming that your mind is more powerful than your body, claiming that your mind can entirely restore the health of your body, that your mind can alter your body, may represent a professional suicide.
If you accept this limited worldview of classical physics which only applies to four dimensional objects (three dimensions of space and one of time), great many things which you could otherwise accomplish with hypnosis, will be simply impossible to accomplish, not because you do not already possess all that you may possibly need to express greatness, but because the worldview which you adopt will influence your belief system, your expectations and what you will allow yourself to experience, what you will feel comfortable to experience without shattering your belief system and your comfort zone.
You are not a robot, you are not an apple falling down from a tree, you are not a ping-pong ball. You are much more. Not only are you a multi-dimensional being, but you have the power and the ability to act from a higher dimension, from a dimension of your mind, from a dimension of your consciousness, and create changes in your physical reality. You are the one who chooses from which dimension you want to live your daily life. It only takes one little shift in consciousness, one little shift in perception to find yourself traveling along the highway of the future that may yet be beyond your wildest imaginings.
I have had experiences that were far more wonderful and powerful than anything I could've ever imagined even possible for a human being to experience because I opened myself to them and allowed them to happen. And so will you, if you open your mind and your heart and allow yourself to be guided from within you.
The greatest treasure and the greatest power which many have been chasing in the outer world are right within you. You don't need to fight for it or to chase it. You merely need to bring it out and use is consciously and intentionally every day. If you do, each day you will be able to accomplish greater and greater things. You owe it to yourself. Why in the world would you settle for a few crumbs you can find in the outer world, when you can create anything you desire from within you? The entire glorious road-path is already within you. You don't have to wrack your brains. You only need to bring it into your awareness. Why settle for a mediocre life, when you were destined to have an exquisite life?
I have been amused over the years at the reactions of those who would have experiences that don't fit in the worldview of classical physics - the worldview we use to separate what we consider "real" and toss out the window the rest as "unreal" because we don't have eyes to see it - yet rather than attempt to understand what made such experiences possible, they would just deny them and they'd keep on repeating - "yes, that happened, I have experienced it, but I still don't believe it, I don't believe that it is possible". And so do most other people - that which they don't understand, they decide it must be "unreal", "impossible", and often they project their own ignorance upon the rest of he world by boldly stating "nobody knows". And the reason I felt compelled to write this particular article is because vast majority of the hypnotists and hypnotherapists are not intimately acquainted with the infinite power of the mind (it's a shame, really) and instead of teaching and helping people to unfold into greatness, instead of liberating people from limitations, they are binding them with more chains into powerlessness. What kind of a favor is that and to whom?
I am also amused when I watch programs by "scientists" who seem to consider that something is alive only if it looks like them. According to the classical science, which I suppose, you have been also taught in school, something is considered alive only if it moves in some way and if you can perceive it with your physical senses or with equipment that has been invented up to date.
There are many other things and beings very much alive and moving about, yet they reside on a different vibratory level, in a different dimension and some of them can shift their vibration enough to become visible to your physical senses or to become invisible. I have seen some of them and perhaps you have too. If there's anything strange to this, it's only how blind we can choose to be, or how ignorant or arrogant by pointing to our bodies and saying "that's the greatest thing in the universe". There's just more to us and to this world than what we call physical dimension, more than that which we can perceive with physical senses.
While the worldview of classical physics has contributed to the development of different sciences which relate to physical dimension of experience, it has taken life out of life. It has separated matter from that which gives it life. It has separated matter from the intelligence that governs it. In this worldview of classical physics you are practically a victim of circumstances: your fate and fortune depend on something outside of you over which you may have very little, if any, control. As a human being, you are essentially dis-empowered, left at the mercy of the circumstances and you are bound to feel very lonely and pretty scared because a possible danger lurks around every corner. When you adopt this worldview, life seems rather hard, you have to struggle and fight and buy a lot of insurance to compensate for any possible losses. If you haven't noticed, insurance doesn't protect you from losses, it merely provides, often inadequate compensation. Insurance feeds on and thrives because of your fears. When you buy insurance, you are actively proclaiming your faith in fear and you're programming your subconscious with expectation of some disaster yet to happen.
I am mentioning this just to bring into your awareness the fact that you program your subconscious mind not only with a few phrases you may repeat or listen to daily, but with a way you live on day to day basis. The actions in your life are based either on love and trust or on fear. With your daily thoughts and actions you are constantly affirming your allegiance to Infinite Loving Power within you or to fear and powerlessness. Who or what do you trust? To whom or to what do you give the power to rule your life?
With the worldview of classical physics you get to live a life of fear, filled with an assortment of anxieties. Is it any wonder that so many people are stressed out of their minds? Is it any wonder that so many people are swallowing an assortment of pills, drugging themselves into oblivion and doing whatever they can think of to escape from it? With this worldview you live to survive, to win at any cost, because it is the survival of the fittest. With this worldview you get to fight against the entire world until you run out of fuel and you die from exhaustion, boredom or meaninglessness of such life. You get to play the game of the grand illusion, where you always feel that something is missing, but you don't know exactly what. You don't even care to look for what is missing, because most people out there will try to convince you that this is a "normal" life and the only thing you can do is accept it - because those who say so don't know any better than you do.
Then, there is another worldview - a worldview in which the entire universe is filled with a living, loving intelligent energy, with one life that connects everyone and everything. It is the worldview of quantum physics, of metaphysics, and the essence of all spiritual traditions. They may use different words, but they say the same thing.
In a life of every individual a time comes when he hits the place some call "the pits" - when something apparently so dreadful happens that life doesn't seem to be worth living any more. It is one of the greatest blessings, because then the person has an opportunity to awaken to the fact that whatever he thought of the world before, whichever way he lived his life, doesn't work - and that nothing will change in one's outer reality until the person is willing to change from within in a radical way.
If your worldview doesn't embrace all life, then you are living like a living dead - then no matter how many possessions you may have acquired, you have not learned what it means to live and feel alive. When you have any fears or concerns you block the flow of life-force within you and you really don't know what it means to feel truly alive. When your awareness is filled only with love, you are open to experience life, you are open to let life-force flow and ein self-pity. They wallow in self-pity because they have rejected life. They are sort of like black holes, going around and looking where they can find people upon whose life-force they can feed, like "energy vampires". They walk around always hungry and unfulfilled, because they are unwilling to see that to have life and fulfillment, to experience happiness, they have to give it first. Happiness is brought out from within, through sharing it. Getting out of self-pity and depression is the easiest thing to do. All it requires is that you go out and do something wonderful for someone else. That's how you bring wonderful things into your life, by bringing them from the inside out.
Everything in the universe is made out of this energy and your thoughts and emotions influence this energy. In the worldview of quantum physics, metaphysics and spirituality, you are not just another ping-pong ball, you're not a vegetable, you're not just a number, you're not just a statistic. You are a grand cosmic being. You are a creator. You create your reality with your thoughts. Quantum physicist will say "the observer determines the outcome of the experiment", metaphysicist will say "energy follows thought and what you think you bring into manifestation".
In this worldview you have the power to create whatever you desire, if you care to use your mind consciously and intentionally. If you don't care to use it, to cultivate it and develop it, to bring it out, you may just as well end up like a powerless vegetable. You were created with much greater destiny, you were intended to make a contribution, a positive difference in this world, you were created with a mission which is up to you whether you want to accept or reject.
Newtonian physics says - you are the effect of external circumstances and you are at the mercy of them. Quantum physics say - you are the cause of your circumstances, you are the creator of your circumstances, and therefore you have the power to change anything you desire to change simply by changing your thoughts.
Your thoughts do not count as far as Newtonian physics is concerned, because, as I mentioned, it was intended to study the movement of ping-pong balls and such, and therefore according to that worldview telepathy, remote influence, psychokinesis or altering your body are considered simply impossible - and if you choose to look upon yourself as just another ping-pong ball, the conscious and intentional use of the extraordinary abilities will remain close to impossible for you to accomplish, too.
And perhaps you're willing now to think back about the experiences in your life, and perhaps you can remember a time when you just thought about something and another person voiced that same thing, or when you heard the phone ring and you knew who was calling you before you even picked up the phone, or perhaps there was a time when you and the other person said exactly the same thing at the same time. These are not weird or unusual happenings - they are normal happenings because we are all interconnected - we are all part of one infinite life, we are all part of one infinite mind.
Our bodies, though, are like miniature universes and each person and being is like a cell in this body. What we do to others, what we think and feel toward others, will reflect in our own bodies. If you feel resentment or hatred either for the circumstances in your life, or toward someone else, your own body will release poisonous chemicals that will make your body cease to function properly and begin to fall apart. That is why when you rejoice in wellbeing, happiness and prosperity of another, when you bless the world, you are truly blessing yourself. When you feel love and gratitude for your own life and for the life of others, you are the one who benefits - on all levels of your being.
Once more - the universe, including your body, is made out of energy. Energy moves in circular motion and creates a vibration. Your body is a mass of energy that has a specific vibration. Your thoughts and emotions determine the vibration of your body. Your body appears solid only because your physical senses perceive certain vibratory frequencies as solid. You have the power to alter the vibration of your body with your thoughts and emotions. If you raise the vibration of your body to a frequency higher than what appears to be a solid object, you can pass through it, or if you prefer, it will not affect you, because you will be resonating at different frequencies.
If you cultivate thoughts and emotions of the highest vibration - love for yourself and for all life, all that which resonates at the lower vibration will pass by you and will not touch you. If there's anyone or anything in your life that is tormenting you, send them love and one of two things will happen - you'll either develop a harmonious relationship or they'll leave your life. Those who are temporarily still committed to low-life, to low vibration, simply won't be able to withstand the high vibration of love.
By sending them love, I mean wish them happiness and wellbeing, see them as happy and content. No one who is truly happy and content will ever wish another anything bad. Truly happy and content person has only one wish for everyone else - may everyone be happy! If you need a reminder of how that feels - just think of a time when you were deeply in love with someone and when there was nothing else in your awareness other than love. When you looked at the world through the eyes of love, what could you have possibly wished for anyone else other than love, because nothing else existed for you.
If you adopt Newtonian worldview and hold onto the view that your body is solid and unchangeable, and you desire to create a radical change in your body, you'll have a very hard time. You'll be fighting against the wall that you have placed in front of you. There is absolutely nothing stopping you in altering your body, whether for the sake of improving health or for esthetic purposes, other than the beliefs which are primarily tied in to your worldview. It doesn't matter what genetic condition you may want to change.
All that it takes to open the door to desired change is a shift in perception, shift in worldview. To create a change, you must be willing to leave behind the worldview of classical physics - it does not contribute to your wellbeing in any way. The only way that you will be able to create radical changes in your body is if you accept the fact that your body is an effect and that the cause is in your mind; that your body is neutral of itself; that it is made out of energy which re-arranges itself according to the pattern you establish with your thoughts.
Wouldn't you rather live in a world where there is nothing to fear because you know that your thoughts are creative, that your thoughts act upon the infinite ocean of energy and that as you focus your mind upon that which you desire to experience in your life, the energy will gather and take shape of that which you desire to experience, for your own pleasure and enjoyment? Wouldn't you rather live in a world where you know that you have the power to create anything you desire to experience, where nothing and no one has power over you, where you can happily co-exist with all life, where you have a perfect place, your own wonderful place under the sun and that you matter, that you are an important part of the puzzle that is called life - that your thoughts influence everything within you and around you, including weather? Wouldn't you rather live in a world where you are aware of your connectedness with all life, knowing that you never are and can never possibly be alone? Wouldn't you rather live in a world where you know that no calamity or disaster can strike you unless you create it with your thoughts first? Wouldn't you rather live in a world where you can never experience lack of any kind unless you have created it with your thoughts first?
These are not fantasy musings. These are facts which you can prove to yourself simply by playing with your thoughts, by first paying attention to what you have been thinking, what kinds of thoughts and emotions you entertain on daily basis and noticing how they have affected your life, and then creating what you desire with intention and focus. Focus means that you become so deeply absorbed in the experience which you desire to create that during the time you are focusing upon the idea you desire to bring into manifestation, nothing else exists for you. The only thing you allow to be present in your awareness is the experience of that which you desire to create in your life.
If it is abundance you desire to create then you spend an hour every day, focusing totally and completely on abundance. The form of abundance is not important. The feeling of abundance is what is important. How does it feel enjoying infinite abundance now? That is the only thing that should be present in your mind, in your emotions, in your awareness. Practice living your daily life with awareness that you are living and moving and having your being in an ocean of infinite abundance, allowing it to flow through you, through your life freely. That is easy to do. It merely requires willingness.
Then, whatever leaves your life will not matter because you'll know that there will always be more coming your way, that whatever you desire to create and experience is as close to you as your next thought. Then, you will never again have to fear for your job. And by the way, you did not come into this world to have a job. You came here to create a miraculous life, so go and create something beautiful with your life. What would you like your life to stand for?
Here is, in short, how the process of transformation occurs from the perspective of quantum physics and metaphysics. Your thoughts act upon the energy of that which you desire to alter. Your focused thought raises or lowers the vibration - depending on what you desire to accomplish.
If you desire to create something, apparently out of nothing (there is no such thing as nothing - there is only intelligent energy, life-force), by focusing upon its manifested form, you lower the vibration until it becomes visible to physical senses.
If you desire to raise the vibration of something, imagine that something filled with, or made out of, light and love. Love and light are the highest common denominator / vibration of everything that is manifested. It's simple and straightforward. Focusing upon light and love will harmonize you with all Life, with Infinite Love, Power and Wisdom. Love and Light are the magic wand that will open all doors for you. Love and Light will make possible for you to accomplish that which previously might have seemed impossible.
It is through your own experiments and experience that you'll get better acquainted with your creative power and in time you will be able to do more and more. If you desire to experience a radical change in your ability, then you must first experience a radical shift in consciousness - and to do so, you have to open yourself to it.
And always remember, the greatest treasure of the entire world is right within you. You may use all the tools and devices you like from the outer world to help you access the Infinite Power and Intelligence, but they are and always will be with you and within you. No human being can give you anything greater than that which was already given you, but some can help you to bring it out. Life was given you to create a wonderful, beautiful, unique, piece of art with it. No greater treasure will you find anywhere else. Love it and use it well.
