Other animals use familiar signs, landmarks and gestures given by us, or act purely on instinct. Like humans, they too have rituals of gathering food, procreation and even death rituals. Our normal day-to-day rituals include a shower, combing our hair, brushing teeth and preparing for work.It's that time again, when we make our New Year's resolutions. Maybe this is the year you plan to get organized, stop smoking, or finally lose those extra pounds you've been carrying around. Of course, many people make ambitious resolutions every year, and then fail to follow through. Here is how you can make resolutions to create positive marketing habits, and make those habits stick.Choose just a few things to do--or even one. The more things you try to do at once, the greater that chance that you won't keep to your resolutions. Choose one, two or three things you will do this year.Make your resolutions "do-able." They should be ambitious, but not overwhelming. Do-able resolutions might include sending one press release Early in the morning, take ten deep breaths in appreciation for awakening on a brand new day, under a brand new sky with opportunities to start again with a different attitude—one of gratitude. Every action that you perform in ritual has a deep meaning and impact. Although you may not perceive it on the physical level, it does have astral power. There are many unseen forces, whether earthbound or angelic, participating with you upon invitation and invocation. They are there, always watching and participating when the intention is right. I always call on the forces or angels of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The subconscious mind understands and accepts symbols and ritual as very real and will mirror that reality on the physical level in your experience. The purpose of ritual is to strike a balance in spiritual attainment—whether psychic development or achievement of Christ or Cosmic Consciousness. Only you can achieve and master perfection of your spiritual goals. Prayer, chanting, meditation and ritual are ultimately performed to achieve unity with the Divine. For true spiritual growth, practice is the key and so is persistence. If you are a Christian this week and Wiccan next week, then “Houston, we have a problem.” Why? Because rituals and symbols fueled with action and belief must be consistent for them to be actualized. If you read the sacred text of the Bible, you find that Jesus declared often, “Be it done unto you according to your faith.” What a tremendous example of Divine conduct, discipline and unconditional love Jesus was, through his use of rituals, symbols and prayer. When ritual and symbols became too theological and extreme, he rejected the priests of the day and placed importance instead on right action—the ultimate ritual. Unfortunately, many well-meaning “religious” folk in traditional faiths have become spiritually shipwrecked by one-sided “my way only” belief systems. Prayer is a ritual and “link” to the Divine.

There are many unseen forces, whether earthbound or angelic, participating with you upon invitation and invocation. They are there, always watching and participating when the intention is right. I always call on the forces or angels of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.Coconut oil has a pleasant taste, does not go rancid (even after a year) like other oils and has health benefits instead of health detriments. Civilizations consuming coconut oil without the trans fat oils are healthier, have less colon problems, less cancer, do not battle weight loss and have less heart disease.Coconut oil has antioxidant properties due to the lack of oxidation of the oil in the body thereby reducing the need to supplement Vitamin E that is normally used up in the oxidation process. The general studies indicate that regular consumption of coconut oil reduces cholesterol to a normal level by converting cholesterol into pregnenolone.Ever since “trans fat” became a d The subconscious mind understands and accepts symbols and ritual as very real and will mirror that reality on the physical level in your experience.

Lillian Russell (1862-1922)Cardiovascular disease remains the leading killer in most developed countries. It will soon achieve the dubious distinction of being the leading killer in all countries. A new risk factor for its development has recently been added - air pollution. Bob Hope once said, “ I don’t like all this fresh air. I’m from Los Angeles. I don’t trust any air I can’t see.” Unfortunately, air will soon be visible in most parts of the world as pollution is on the rise.In a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (February 2007), researchers found that each 10-unit increase in air levels of fine particulate matter incr For true spiritual growth, practice is the key and so is persistence.

Unfortunately, many well-meaning “religious” folk in traditional faiths have become spiritually shipwrecked by one-sided “my way only” belief systems.Many men want to know how to attract women, as if there is some trick to it. They tend to think of attractive women as some sort of commodity. They do not even feel like men unless they have a gorgeous woman at their beck and call. Most of these guys suffer from terribly low self-esteem. Their entire sense of self-worth is based entirely on dating attractive, gorgeous women, and generally they are single. Therefore, they think of themselves as nothing, or even less than nothing.The best way to start dating beautiful, gorgeous women is to realize that there is no secret. Instead of trying to figure out how to attract women, try to figure out how to be yourself instead. It is really that simple.

In my studies of Wicca, or “Craft” of the wise, I found that it is an amazing belief system, which out of reverential respect for nature’s beauty, consistency, and color—in the sunshine, moon, storms, stars and rivers—evolved into the varying aspects of God (gods), or Divine aspects of God. There could not have been God without Goddess, or the Great Mother. Many of the great religions on earth have been greatly influenced by Wicca, including Christianity. For example, there is a statement in the Bible which stipulates “As Above, So Below.” That is an ancient Wiccan saying. I saw a bumper sticker and repeated it to several Wiccan clients which reads, “Christianity has Pagan DNA.” Wicca is a peaceful religion that respects life and nature. Anything that does not promote peace, balance, love and respect for all sentient beings and one’s self is not a good practice to be in. Ritual is necessary to awaken deeper levels of your own consciousness. You use everything—sense, sights, chants, fragrances or any number of cues that you evoke to deepen your own awareness and contact your levels of knowing to make change occur in yourself and your world. Rituals are not mere mindless exercises to effect change. You must be consciously aware and disciplined for change to occur. There is a thin veil or membrane between physical life as we know it and spiritual reality. It should be our mutual goal that despite our differences and affiliations, we should provide combined, positive sources of spiritual energy and inspiration to renew our lives on the planet for everyone in spite of our differences. From the esoteric perspective, ritual is designed to successfully impact spiritual growth, understanding and commitment to God while in your body on the planet. Ritual is to remind you of your integral part in the mysterious continuum of life which is much larger than this reality. Your organic self-observation of who you are permits you to participate in ritual only on that level. However, you will bridge and accelerate reality on the astral plane, with practice, to eliminate the barrier or restrictive falseness between yourself and what we call God. God loves you whether the ritual is a simple prayer or an advanced exercise in magick or Wicca. It is your intent. As a human, it is difficult to achieve mastery in every part of your life. But please master the daily ritual of a thankful heart, a loving smile, a greeting to a neighbor and a song to the Universe. Ritual brings us into alignment with the power of God—the ultimate awareness. Once alignment is attained, there is a breakthrough of understanding on
