Learn How to Get Rid of Kidney Stones






Learn How to Get Rid of Kidney Stones...

We know what it's like to be in pain. It's hard to believe
in miracles or natural remedies when you don't even
understand what's going on in your body. Grasping at
the nearest or most convenient pain killer or taking
prescriptions to stop the pain is only human nature.


The problem is using drugs and treatments that only hide
your immediate symptoms will not stop the fear. . . and
more than likely will only further the complications.


You need to attack the root source of the pain or the threat
will only continue to grow!


Kidney stones are not a subject we can write about lightly
because they are the result of a deeper underlying issue
that usually occurs because of under-nutrition.


We understand it is difficult to live a perfect life and
eating the right foods seems almost impossible in today's
fast food marketplace. The bottom line is there are healing
foods available to you, but you need to know what to look
for. Part of knowing what to look for comes from
understanding what forms potentially life-threatening
kidney stones in the first place.


Before we reveal a simple time-tested remedy for quickly
dissolving your kidney stones we must stress the importance
of getting a medical opinion from a qualified health
professional. We don't know what your circumstances are,
but if you (or someone you know) is in need of a solution
that will eliminate kidney stones quickly, with no pain,
read on...


There is more and more evidence that points at magnesium
deficiency may contribute to calcium stone formation in the
kidneys. Magnesium deficiency is definitely an indication of
a disordered mineral metabolism. Some researchers speculate
consuming an excess of proteins and sugars as well as not
eating enough magnesium rich greens can promote calcium
stones to form in the kidneys.


According to a study done by the Mineral Metabolism and
Endocrine Research Laboratory, Department of Surgery,
University of Erlangen, Germany, these are definite factors.
There are a variety of reasons for kidney stone formation
and there are many different types of kidney stones, but one
thing seems certain, dietary habits are responsible.


The secret to eliminating dangerous kidney stones is by
changing what you normally put into your body. The wrong
foods can cause health problems as sure as the right foods
can help your body's healing processes.

You can get access right now to a fast, effective kidney
cleanse and learn what you can eat to help protect against
future formation of kidney stones...it's up to you to get
rid of your pain, your worry, and your kidney stones today.

Amun the Hidden

Amun the Hidden

“Self-made, you fashioned your body,
Creator uncreated.
Sole one, unique one, who traverses eternity,
Remote one, with millions under his care.
Amun is one, concealing himself. . .
He is hidden from the gods, and his aspect is unknown
He is farther than the sky, he is deeper than the Duat,
No god knows his true appearance.”

Excerpted from - Leiden Papyrus I 350

The Burning Times

The Burning Times

"From the 14th to the 17th Century a hysteria spread across Europe which involved torturing and executing people based on accusations that they were witches. Whether any actual practicioners of a pre-Christian pagan tradition were persecuted as the result of a witch trial is up for debate. These books and texts are period documents which illustrate the methods, rationale (such as it was) and history of this persecution. They shouldn't be taken as illustrative of Neopaganism, but as a warning about religious tolerance and the fragile nature of justice." Read more...

The Fine Art of Smudging

An Aboriginal Canadian friend of mine who teaches at the Whispering Lodge in Toronto was explaining to me how physical or emotional healing cannot take place until the person is cleansed of any of the following conditions:

  1. Emotional conditions such as resentment, bitterness, envy, jealousy and guilt
  2. Negative thoughts about others or one's past or future
  3. Negative emotions such as grief, hatred, desire 4) Bad or evil spirits
  4. Attachments or negative energy sent to us from other people

In most Aboriginal traditions, a sweat lodge, basically a tent or teepee or cave filled with smoke and heat, is used to remedy the sick person of these conditions. In ancient Rome, buildings called purgatoriums were used for the same purpose. These smoke and heat filled places were considered sacred spaces in which the spirits or God could lift negative entities and energies from an individual without interference with others.

Many indigenous cultures throughout the world use burning herbs, plants and resins to accomplish the same purpose. In some cultures the smoke is taken into one's hands and rubbed over the body to blacken it. This is where the modern day practice got its nickname -- smudging.

Below is a list of common herb, plants, grasses and resins that are commonly used in smudging ceremonies. You can light these substances yourself and carry a bundle of the substance around your home in a counter-clockwise circle to cleanse your space. I highly recommend cleansing the body outside, however, as I have found that sage can burn very fast and create a lot of rapid whirling smoke that easily sets off the fire alarm.

  • Sage Sprigs - the most common substance used for cleansing is sage. The word sage comes from the Latin word Salvia which means, "to heal." There are also varieties of sage, which are from the Artemisia family of plants. This includes mugwort which s used for cleansing and protection. White sage is used for cleansing and protection. Combining branches of pine and white sages together and burning them is used to attract prosperity.
  • Cedar and Juniper branches - These evergreen boughs have historically been used to help cleanse, purify and protect ones belongings. Sometimes brooms are made from them to use the smoke "sweep" to cleanse a home during a house blessing.
  • Sweetgrass - This musty smelling grass is used to drive out bad influences and draw good influences into the home. It is often used after a prayer or ritual to "hold the magic" in its place.
  • Copal - this aromatic plant resin is mainly used in South American rituals. The touch of the strongly scented smoke from burning copal is thought to cleanse and purify any object or person.
  • Frankincense and Myrrh - these "biblical" resins are used in Africa, the Middle East and Europe for ceremonies and rituals. Burned together they are thought to balance yin and yang, or the masculine and feminine energies in a place or dwelling. Either is thought to draw blessings into a home.
  • Tobacco - Tobacco is burned to float prayers upwards to the Creator where they will be heard and answered. Burning a tobacco along with sage, cedar or sweet grass is thought to enhance the magical intentions of the smudge.
  • Smudges and resins can be bought commercially from occult, new age and gift shops. I usually put the branches, plants or resins in the bowl and blacken my hands and face with it. While doing this I pray for protection, purification and blessings from above. If healing another person or purifying a room I will sometimes use a feather or a branch to waft the smoke in the desired direction. Smudging is not all hooey and voodoo. The practice is also thought to created negative ions in the air that remove static and create a positive atmosphere. Not only do people usually feel good afterwards, it also creates a space for the free flowing of positive energies and prayers.

ESP & Psychic Levels

If you thought being psychic or having some extra natural power was eerie, then it is time you change that outlook. Today, there are researches and studies that go all the way out to prove that it is quite possible and feasible for the human brain to understand and know a lot of things that are above the normal limits. Science and technology do not give you all the answers and there are still certain themes and concepts that defy the common laws of logic and reasoning. That is why there are still certain unexplored and unexplained facts that we see in our day to day life that is apart from our reasoning abilities.

ESP or extra sensory projection is one such common phenomenon that has been accepted worldwide as a special power that certain human beings do possess. The most common explanation that we are able to provide for this is that they are able to get their brains and the mind function at an extreme frequency that most of the commoners are not able to even dream of and this is what in turns helps them receive the "signals".

The ability of some of our very own folks to receive these signals in the first place and then decipher them to meaningful messages is indeed an art and is definitely praiseworthy. Though there are quite a few paranormal abilities that can be a big study in itself, let's limit ourselves to the discussion on the extra sensory projections. All said and done, all these abilities lie in the efficacy of the process and the skill of the person to tune their brains to read the innumerable messages that are floating around that the normal public cannot comprehend. Also important is the ability to hold your brain in the same frequency level for long intervals whereby the message transaction is complete and comprehensive.

Ancient Rome was not built in a day and you cannot expect to get to the highest psychic level the moment you start off. However, this is very much possible and you can get to where you want, if you are keen to get there – with some help. We are here to help you get to the state of extreme sense of paranormal abilities. Our frequency modulators help your brain to tune it to the frequency that is required to get into, to receive and decode these mystic messages. If you try it once, then you would know what a celestial feeling it is to be a psychic like this.

Though there are no complete explanations to these paranormal abilities, there are a lot of places where this skill is being capitalized on and it is definitely an asset if you are able to get yourself to that state. Amidst the hassles of our everyday life this is indeed a new and unheard of experience and will play a vital role in getting your blood pressure and tension levels down.

Like they say - you need to see it to believe it, you need to try it to believe it!

Achieving Prosperity

Prosperity

We all know what prosperity means. To most of us prosperity only means huge wealth accumulation. A person who is rich and famous is prosperous. That’s what most of us think. It is not our fault, because we have been made to believe that prosperity is linked only to wealth.

However, before getting into how to achieve prosperity, we should first know what is meant by prosperity. One of my friends is a multi millionaire, however he is chronically ill. He feels very diffident about himself and approaches life meekly. Can we call him prosperous just for the fact that he owns millions of money? Almost all of us will answer a big “NO” to this question. This is proof enough for the fact that money alone does not mean prosperity. Prosperity has many components. Some of them (strictly in order of priority) are good health, peace of mind, optimism, enthusiasm to work, confidence, mutual love for fellow humans and finally money.

Prosperity is a very broad term comprising of all these. Only when one has atleast some of all these components, one can claim to be prosperous. The website http://www.mysticowlcurio.com/unexplainablestore.htm gives a list of various kinds of software available for mind power and happiness. There is software for prosperity as well, that is advertised in this website. This software can be easily downloaded at a very reasonable price. It contains certain frequency recordings at particular beats. When downloads the software, he will be able to listen to these beats clearly. These waves, when heard frequently tend to give utmost optimism levels to the brain helping us to face life confidently.

Prosperity is achieved effectively due the positive energy of these sound waves. We sometimes fall sick or tend to lose our confidence because of the blockages in our brain. These frequencies mainly aim at clearing off these blockages. These, when cleared, frees the brain and gives it enough space to store positive thoughts. The length of our lives does not matter at all. It is how we live, that makes a big difference. People should feel happy to approach us. We should spread happiness where we go. That defines prosperity and it is got by listening to these soothing waves frequently.

As prosperity increases, the quality of life increases proportionately. At the workplace, one tends to exhibit more enthusiasm and energy. He becomes more open minded to learn new things and accepts changes as they come. Accepting change, and knowing that change is the only permanent thing in life, is also prosperity. Once this realization happens, nothing can affect us. Similarly prosperity reduces hatred among people. We learn to love and respect people as they are and we do not expect them to change for us. Our tolerance level increases and we learn to live in cooperation with one another. Money is the final part of prosperity. People who have money are rarely diffident. This confidence comes due to prosperity of other factors. Confident people can achieve anything in life. We just have to take the first step to learn to live in prosperity.

Luck, Prosperity & Longevity

Free Sample Luck, Prosperity and Longevity ReadingThe year of your birth does not just indicate your age! According to the Chinese system of Astrology, the year of birth indicates a certain phase or aspect of a sixty-year cycle of time. Three systems are used for counting and classifying the years: The ten Heavenly Stems, the twelve Earthly Branches and the twelve Animals.

The exact origins of the twelve animal system remain unknown. However, legend has it that, once upon a time, the Jade King was bored, having nothing to do in Heaven. He did not see what was happening on Earth, as he had servants satiating his every wish and desire. He decided that he wanted to see the animals that inhabited the earth so he sent word to his advisors to bring him twelve animals (which he considered to be a good sampling.) The advisor first sent an invitation to the Rat, telling him to also bring the cat. The Rat's jealousy prevented the cat from actually receiving the invitation.

Further invitations were sent on to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog, asking for their presence at the palace the following day. When they lined up in front of the king, he found that they numbered only eleven, instead of twelve as he had requested. The king sent his servant down to Earth to retrieve a twelfth animal. The servant ran into a man carrying a Pig, and he hastily grabbed it and delivered it to the king.

The animals stood in front of the king in no particular order. The Rat, being smaller than the rest, hopped on the Ox's back and proceeded to play the flute. The king was very impressed by this display. He gave the Rat first place. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so courageous. The Rabbit was given fourth place, the Dragon fifth, the Snake sixth, the Horse seventh, the Ram eighth, the Monkey ninth, the Rooster tenth and the Dog eleventh. By default, and due to the king's just nature, twelfth place went to the Pig. After the ceremony concluded, the cat (who missed the invitation) begged the king to reconsider. He was told it was too late.

Vodou in New Orleans

A History of Voodoo in New Orleans
By Julia Roslyn Antle

In America, New Orleans is often associated with two things: Mardi Gras and Voodoo. Although only approximately 15-20% of the population of Louisiana practices the religion of voodoo (also known as Vodou), its dark allure has captured the attention of many. Tourists visiting New Orleans regularly seek out voodoo attractions and shops selling voodoo-related items, tantalized by stories of voodoo dolls, possession by evil spirits, voodoo curses, and zombies.

While such fare undoubtedly serves to entertain tourists, it does an injustice to the true meaning of traditional voodoo. Some sects of modern voodoo are indeed occultist in origin, but traditional voodoo has much more in common with wicca and Native American beliefs, and even Christianity.

Traditional voodoo is intended to help practitioners achieve a higher state of consciousness through trancelike communions with the natural spirits of the earth, called Loa, and to attain peace and wisdom.

The reemergence of voodoo in New Orleans and its widespread acceptance in Louisiana can be largely attributed to Marie Laveau. Marie Laveau was the daughter of a Frenchman, Charles Laveau , and a Caribbean, Marguerite Darcantel, who was a practitioner of voodoo. Modern voodoo in New Orleans today is a combination of Marie Laveau's practices and other influences from Haiti, Christianity, and Native Americans.

While Marie Laveau was certainly not the first nor the last voodoo practitioner to be held in high regard, she was certainly one of the most influential during a time period when voodoo was beginning to be accepted again.

Marie Laveau was very well known for her expert knowledge of herbal remedies, and was sought out for her preparation of gris-gris bags. These were small pouches that contained a variety of herbs that were worn by the recipient, and were intended for a number of purposes. The correct combination of herbs could effectively ward off evil spirits or hexes, bring good luck to the wearer, or to cause harm to enemies. Gris-gris bags are still very common today in New Orleans, and can often be seen being worn attached to individuals belts.

Marie Laveau also told fortunes, captured evil spirits in specially prepared jars, and helped cleanse a home of negative energy and bad luck. Her fame spread far beyond the borders of New Orleans, and people traveled far to seek out her services. Her gravesite is a popular tourist attraction, but is well respected. Many who visit the location to pay their respects often make a wish as well, believing that Marie Laveau was so powerful that her spirit is still capable of granting help to those who require it.

Because of Marie Laveau, voodoo in New Orleans is taken very seriously, and there are many who fear its power. Voodoo is not something to be taken lightly and dabbled with by the uninitiated. It is a powerful force best left to those who possess a strong understanding of its natural aspects and are well versed in the sacred rituals.

Considered a Gythia (Asatru High Priestess) among her Coven, Julia Roslyn Antle is a master of divination and dream interpretation. Her wisdom is sought-after by her peers, her colleagues as well as the public. http://www.7witches.net

Karma and Reincarnation

Twelve Approaches to Reincarnation and Karma

It has been thought, by a few great individuals, that if you can garner twelve perspectives on a particular subject, then you can attain a significant understanding of the subject. This article strives in that direction by presenting the dynamics of reincarnation and karma from twelve different angles.


The thrust of the material presented here serves twofold: to help elucidate the actual nature of reincarnation and karma, and to answer to current voices during this materialistic phase of human development who attempt, in vain, to deny its existence. None of the materialist arguments hold any water, as can be seen by reviewing the following twelve aspects of R and K.

1. The masterpiece scenario

If you wanted to design a system that would be a masterpiece, a means of providing individuals with opportunity to fulfill their potential, to keep growing and learning, and meeting themselves with all their foibles and virtues, qualities and talents, vices and shortfalls to improve on, and to ensure that all participants could access awareness of their effects on others (be it right away or, as seems to be more the case in our current time, in the between-lives arena) - then you would come up with the system that appears to be in play on Earth now - the masterpiece of karma and reincarnation in which we live.

Human imagination has, thus far, been unable to come up with anything remotely approaching this level of creationist expertise. This, plus the conceptual reality of the R and K scenario in our individual psyches (and in our collective psyche), not only suggests that some kind of omniscient being created this masterpiece, but also implies that the scenario has been fully implemented in the fabric of our existence.

2. Experiment:

Take a moment to imagine the cessation of your "I".
You can imagine the physical body coming to an end, the dissolution of the body.
But can you do so with the "I"?

The moment you try, there is your "I" standing back looking for an imagined end to itself.

It can’t be done* - inferring that the Ego lives on after death.

*footnote: The "I" can be dissipated, in a sense, by one’s own efforts, or at least degraded and debilitated, through chronic substance abuse, or through long term practice of a spiritual path that espouses the dissolution of the ego (once an appropriate experience for the soul during the ancient Indian epoch, but now counter to the present leading edge of evolution - the retention and enhancement of the "Ego" or I).

3. Multi-dimensional factors and future life progress.

There are times when an overly simplistic view of reincarnation can be held.
One aspect that helps over-ride this inclination is to understand that thoughts don’t carry on beyond a certain stage of the death process, except as forces, whereas enthusiasms, perceptions and feelings do pass into the next life. That the conceptual life associated with an incarnation dissipates means, for example, that a child who spoke the Greek language in his/her past life does not learn the Greek language any greater ease this life.

Another perceptual shortfall resides, for example, in the notion that a great musician must have been a musician in a prior life, and now has simply progressed to an advanced level. A more accurate perspective views the emergence of a talent as a result of progress made in a past life in another (but obliquely associated) arena of development.

4. Proportion of brain utilized

Through reincarnation, we are given the opportunity to fulfill our overall quest to become whole, fully evolved beings - a quest that is utterly impossible in a single lifetime.

It is generally agreed that we use only 10-20% of our brain capacity. This suggests that eventually we are going to use the whole organ. Of course, to attain such a goal would only be feasible over many lifetimes.

The other side of the indication is that when we die, we move into our deeper wisdom, we move out of our temporary, life-long confinement, into our full capacity (use of 100% versus only 10-20%). We come to know, from an overview, what our life was really about, and where we need to improve, and can then determine where we are going, and with who, and the particulars pertaining to the next life that we choose.

Chinese Herbal Teas


Pu erh (also written Puer, Pu-Er, Puerh, Pu-erh) tea is a specialty of the Yunnan province of China. For most teas the fresher the tea the better but for Pu erh tea older is considered better because this type of tea improves with age – a bit like a good red wine. Pu erh tea as either cooked, which is dark in colour, or un-cooked which is lighter in colour.

This tea is made as puerh cakes which are usually in the shape of a disk but can be in other shapes such as tea brick. Also available as single serve tea block. The un-cooked pu erh tea has a bitter tea taste while the cooked pu erh has a smooth taste with a slightly sweet after-taste. This tea makes an excellent Weight Loss Tea and the other health benefits of pu erh tea are described in the listings. "The Chinese believe that Pu-erh has even greater health properties than other teas. From a Chinese Medical point of view, Pu-erh invigorates the Spleen, disinhibits dampness, clears Stomach heat, descends Stomach qi and counteracts alcohol toxins. Pu-erh's ability to aid fat metabolism has lead to claims that it can assist in weight loss regimes." [Source: Journal of Chinese Medicine]

So, if you want good quality Pu erh tea then I highly recommend buying tea online from the China Tea Shop.

Memory Enhancement

Memory is one of the most important qualities that one must possess. Memory is purely dependent on the state of the human mind. One suffers from memory loss in many cases when one is too stressed or physically exhausted. The mind and body should be in a very clear and relaxed state for perfect memory powers.

However, there are a lot of medications available today to enhance memory. We offer various kinds of software to increase the power and concentration of the human mind. The human mind is compared to a monkey in most cases. The reason behind this comparison is because, like a monkey, the human mind also keeps on jumping from one thought to another. If memory has to be enhanced, then it is imperative that the brain should first learn to concentrate.

There are a lot of medications available in the market today for memory increase. However they come with a lot of disadvantages. The first demerit is that, they offer only temporary results. The second and the most important demerit is that, there are a lot of side effects associated with these pills. Hence it is strongly recommended to avoid these temporary medications and opt for something permanent which acts on the brain directly.

The memory enhancing software explained in this website is one such permanent relief for memory loss. A wide range of frequency waves are formed and fed into the ears. This then sends signal to the brain, as a result of which, the brain comes to a subconscious state. It is this state that is very important, because the brain is at its maximum potential in this stage. This potential is tapped to a great extent by these waves and all the blockages to the brain are cleared. Clearing these blockages help the brain to think better, deeper and for longer periods of time. The concentration power automatically increases, and the storage capacity of the brain increases, so that it can remember more number of things at a time. This kind of memory enhancing technique is very helpful as it gives a soothing effect to the brain and clears out all unnecessary elements that were hindering the memory potential.

There are scientific studies to prove that these memory enhancing techniques were really helpful in patients suffering from dyslexia. Dyslexia is a kind of ailment where the children face problems like formation of words, spelling etc. They lag behind their peers in terms of grasping lessons in the class and their handwriting has major flaws. This technique was then introduced to a group of these children. The focus capacity of the brain was increased, thereby increasing the grasping power. The children were able to understand their teachers better. Also, their spelling picked up phenomenally and over a period of time, these children were able to come close to their peers. Memory enhancing software like this is not only helpful in providing permanent relief, but it also devoid of any side effects. It is worth trying this, as the cost of downloading is very reasonable.
