</p><p>I wanted to share with you today my thoughts on where to find the best  <a href="http://94dac1aevb32683d36okv9-7bm.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=HV">Free Numerology Calculator</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m writing this because a few months back, when I was looking into numerology and getting my chart done, there wasn&#8217;t a lot of very clear information around.   In fact, what I discovered mostly was a really poor quality free numerology calculator that didn&#8217;t help me at all.</p>
<p><strong>So, I thought I&#8217;d do a quick write-up to help you save some time.</strong></p>
<h1>What&#8217;s A Free Numerology Calculator?:</h1>
<p>Numerology is a practice that stretches back 1000s of years in a variety of traditions and cultures.     Although there are many branches and forms of the practice, the main purpose for anyone getting a numerology reading is to understand him or herself better.</p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s exactly what a good numerology session or calculator should be able to do:  give you some very precise and relevant facts about things like:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What your life purpose is</li>
<li>What kind of work suits you</li>
<li>How to thrive in relationships</li>
<li>How other people tend to perceive you</li>
</ul>
<h3>What I Found First in Terms of A Quality Free Numerology Calculator</h3>
<p>As I was searching for numerology readings and calculators, I ran across several websites that looked promising at first.     I plugged my birth date and full name into the software at several of them to see what <a href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/free-numerology-calculator/attachment/free-numerology-calculator-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1446"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1446" title="free-numerology-calculator" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/free-numerology-calculator-300x240.jpg" alt="free numerology calculator" width="240" height="192" /></a>came back.    Overall, the results were really disappointing.    <strong> Most of them read like they had been spit out by a computer or cut and pasted from various sources.    And honestly, none of them were very helpful.</strong></p>
<p>I was about to give up, when I asked a friend about Numerology.   She basically said that,  although a software can add up your numerology, it can never really give you an accurate interpretation.   It takes a well trained human to do that.</p>
<h3>Where I found The Best Free Numerology Calculator:</h3>
<p>My friend recommended that I try a free reading from an actual human.   She sent me to <a href="http://94dac1aevb32683d36okv9-7bm.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=HV">Blair Gorman&#8217;s Numerology Website</a> to get one.   I entered my details and then waited for Blair&#8217;s response. <strong> The next day, I received an email from Blair that contained a thorough reading and interpretation of my own numerology.</strong></p>
<h3>What&#8217;s Included in Blair Gorman&#8217;s Free Numerology Calculator:</h3>
<p>I received all of the following in her Free reading &#8211; note that the reading was extensive &#8211; at least 10 pages.   Pretty cool for a free numerology calculator:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>My Life Path Number </strong>- this explained a lot to me about what my higher purpose is.  I have to say that this was very helpful.</li>
<li><strong>My Expression Number</strong> &#8211; this one describes natural talents that I have and how to best access them and get the most out of them.   Some of it I knew before, but there were a couple of points that really helped.</li>
<li><strong>My Soul Urge or Heart&#8217;s Desire Number</strong> &#8211; this number relates to what I want to be, do and have in this lifetime.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Who would benefit from getting this Free Numerology Calculator:</h3>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re someone who wants to most out of life and who is searching for real information that can support you to fulfill your destiny, then I&#8217;d say that Gorman&#8217;s free numerology calculator report is a great place to start.</strong> The information is personalized &#8211; even in this free reading and it&#8217;s obvious that Blair Gorman cares about providing you with the most helpful and relevant details possible.</p>
<p>In addition, I was impressed that thousands of people (several of them well known) have used this free service to improve their own lives.</p>
<h3>How quickly Free Numerology Calculator can help someone:</h3>
<p>I have to say that even after reading my report just once, I already started thinking differently and focusing my energy on things that I had wanted to do, but had been putting off.</p>
<p>If you take the information in the free numerology calculator  to heart and use it, it can change your life quickly.</p>
<h3>Additional skills or tools needed to get the most out of Free Numerology Calculator:</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s really nothing else major that you need to know or do in order to benefit from this great service.     The only requirements are that you know your birth date (not the time, just the day, month and year) and your full name.  That&#8217;s it really.   Also, it helps if you have a sense of adventure and an open mind, but I suppose those aren&#8217;t necessary either.</p>
<h2>My final words about Free Numerology Calculator:</h2>
<p><strong>Hey, this reading is at absolutely no cost. </strong> And it&#8217;s 1000 times better than the software I tried out.   I mean you get a reading from an actual person and not a machine.   That&#8217;s  a great deal and great way to get started with numerology.</p>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s nothing to lose and a lot to gain.   I can give Blair Gorman&#8217;s Free Numerology Calculator and Report my highest recommendation.  </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/healing-codes/" title="Permanent link to Healing Codes"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/healing-codes-300x297.jpg" width="300" height="297" alt="Post image for Healing Codes" /></a>
</p><p>The idea of &#8220;healing codes&#8221; or special techniques and strategies (some of them secretive) has been around for 1000s of years.   And yet it is only in the past 10 years or so that it has come to achieve a more mainstream acceptance.    There are now several books and programs available regarding healing codes.   In this article I will reveal the best of them.</p>
<h3>What Are Healing Codes Anyway?</h3>
<p>Before I launch into a discussion of what the most effective and best healing codes are, I think it&#8217;s important to define the term here.    <strong> Taken broadly, it refers to the idea that our body/mind mechanisms respond to specific kinds of input in a positive way. </strong> These kinds of input can be considered &#8220;codes&#8221; in the sense that they are step by step tools that are designed to get a certain response.</p>
<p>The idea is similar to a reflex text when you go to the doctor.   You might remember sitting on the edge of your doctor&#8217;s table and watching with wonder how your foot jumped into the air when the doctor tapped your knee with a small rubber hammer.    Healing codes are designed to work in a similar way.</p>
<h3><a href="http://aac3ff0lukp570ykx1zav5pl7d.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=HV"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1332" title="healing-codes" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/healing-codes-300x297.jpg" alt="healing codes" width="210" height="208" /></a>What Are Healing Codes Supposed To Do?</h3>
<p>Unlike stimulating reflexes in the body as in the example above, healing codes work on various levels.    There is of course the physical level, which can respond to certain kinds of input in a very positive way.   <strong>Take for example the strategy of &#8220;laughter healing.&#8221; </strong> It has been so successful that even some cancer centers promote it and use it.   In that sense laughter is indeed a healing code.</p>
<p><strong>Healing codes also work on the mental level in order to redirect thoughts into positive channels.</strong> Affirmations and healing mantras are two examples of this.   Repeating an affirmation such as &#8220;I am peaceful, I am calm, I am relaxed&#8221; works to create the conditions in the affirmation.    It can be even more powerful if you can feel really happy and energized as you repeat the words.   Mantras such as the classic &#8220;om&#8221; are also designed to support a peaceful mind.</p>
<p>There are also healing codes that work on the soul level to release your full potential as an embodied soul.   Some of these codes have been guarded in secret societies for 1000s of years.   They may involve special rituals or rites of initiation in order to help you connect with your higher self or spiritual self.   <strong>One example of this are the esoteric practices of mystics like Sufis or Kabbalists.</strong></p>
<h3>What Types of Healing Codes Are There?</h3>
<p>Healing codes may come from a long secretive tradition as in the examples I cited above.   They may be common sense as in the laughter example.   Or they may come in a transmission from the Angelic realm.   Whatever the case, the important point is how they can help you.     The best of them align you with your higher purpose and support you to live your life here on the earth with vitality and joy.     <strong>Here are a few of the best ones:</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Energy Healing</span> -  During energy healing sessions a practitioner (or you yourself) channels universal positive and loving energy into your body.   The effects of this can be very powerful &#8211; creating a sense of well being throughout your entire body/mind/spirit.   Examples of energy healing include Reiki, Healing Touch and Craniosacral Therapy.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">NLP &#8211; Neuro Linguistic Programming</span> &#8211; This approach, similar to hypnotherapy but more advanced,  involves the mind and reorganizing your thought patterns.   It is a form of positive brain washing that can improve your life in a variety of ways.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EFT &#8211; Emotional Freedom Technique</span> -  Also known as &#8220;tapping&#8221; this is a relatively new healing code that involves gently tapping your body in specific places while repeating affirmations.   The tapping is thought to anchor the affirmation within both the body and the mind.</p>
<h3>What Is The Most Effective of All Healing Codes?</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally used all of the techniques above and many more.   Through it all, there is one type of healing code that stands out as the most powerful.  It is a technology based approach that involves changing brainwave frequencies through sound.   I consider it to be the healing code of the future.    The reason is that it works effectively and very quickly to produce real measurable results.   <strong>In 30 years I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if everyone interested in optimal health and healing were using this type of brain wave entrainment. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/natural-health-tips/" title="Permanent link to Natural HealthTips"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/natural-healing-tips-291x300.jpg" width="291" height="300" alt="Post image for Natural HealthTips" /></a>
</p><p>As someone who has made his career out of practicing and promoting natural  healing strategies, I&#8217;m often asked to summarize the most important tips for healing the body mind and spirit naturally.   In this article I&#8217;m going to share the most important things I&#8217;ve learned during my study in the natural health field.</p>
<h3>What Is Natural Health?</h3>
<p>Before I share those tips, I think it&#8217;s helpful to define natural healing.   The term is used a lot but few of us take the time to actually consider what it means.   Natural healing springs from the foundation of the body itself.   Our bodies are designed to heal and restore themselves by nature.   Consider what happens for example if you break a bone.  The body works to heal the damage.    The process of regeneration and renewal is constant and ongoing from birth to death.</p>
<p>Working from that foundation, the principles of natural healing hold that it&#8217;s better to use health strategies that work in harmony with each other according to natural law.     The basic principles are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>To do no harm</li>
<li>To treat a person as a whole  body, mind and spirit and to work on all of those aspects in healing</li>
<li>To treat food as medicine &#8211; as Hippocrates is often quoted</li>
<li>To use whole herbs and supplements over pharmaceutical methods</li>
<li>To follow the body&#8217;s natural inclination for healing</li>
<li>To be patient and present to changing conditions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tips For Natural Health</h3>
<p>Working from those principles, I&#8217;ve seen many people make great progress in terms of their overall health and wellness.   Here is what I&#8217;ve seen working over and over again.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cleansing and Detox</span> &#8211; Like it or not, we all live in a contaminated world.   It&#8217;s estimated that over one million different chemical compounds were created in the 20th century alone.    While only some of them are dangerous, their presence in human life is unprecedented.   The chemical overload combined with low fiber diets and highly processed foods makes cleansing and detox one of the most powerful methods of natural healing right now.   There are many ways to approach detox.  I&#8217;ve written about those elsewhere.   For a beginner, my recommendation is to try an<a href="http://www.ultimatecleanse.ws"> herbal detox</a> program like the Ultimate Cleanse.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Superfood Nutrition</span>  Making sure to get plenty of vitamin and mineral rich superfoods is a great way to enhance any detox program and boost your health quickly.  Some superfoods I love are, goji berries, bee pollen, coconut oil, <a href="http://www.raworganicmaca.info/red-maca-how-is-it-different/">red maca</a>, hemp seeds and sea vegetables of all kinds.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fasting and Juicing</span> &#8211; One of the methods for cleansing is to fast, either on water or juices.   Fasting gives the body a chance to restore and rejuvenate itself &#8211; and to heal whatever is out of balance.   Most naturopathic doctors that I know<a href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/natural-health-tips/attachment/natural-healing-tips-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1307"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1307" title="natural-healing-tips" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/natural-healing-tips-291x300.jpg" alt="natural healthtips" width="204" height="210" /></a> recommend fasting and juicing to their clients regularly.    In addition to helping the body heal, fasting on juice also provides more nutrition to the body.   For example, I can get most of the nutrition out of a pound of spinach immediately by juicing it, but I could never eat a whole pound of spinach in one sitting.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Breathing and Exercise</span> &#8211; Doctors have no doubt that simple exercise extends and improves life.   Walking, cycling and swimming are all positive approaches.    I personally love another approach to exercise that I&#8217;ve written about <a href="http://healingvibes.com/store/the-worlds-ultimate-exercise-ebook/">here. </a>It&#8217;s something that N.A.S.A. uses to train its astronauts.   Breathing of course helps to oxygenate the body and it&#8217;s been shown that no disease exists in the presence of oxygen.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Iron Supplementation</span>   Many times, eating a healthful diet means eliminating or reducing the intake of red-meat. While this can have many important health benefits; red-meat is one of the best, most easily absorbed sources of iron. To defeat the fatigue, weakness and irritability associated with iron deficiency anemia, consider<a href="http://feosol.com" target="_blank"> iron supplements</a>. Consult with your doctor to determine your appropriate dosage.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mindset and Prayer</span> &#8211; Having a positive mindset and faith both go a long way toward healing.   It sounds simple, but it&#8217;s been proven by people time and time again that enjoying yourself, relaxing and keeping your mind focused on happy experiences and positive outcomes supports the healing process.   One example of this is found in people who have literally laughed themselves to good health.</p>

</p><h3>What is healing jewelry?</h3>
<p>Beauty and function.   Wearable art that improves your health.   Forms and materials that increase your awareness.   These statements all describe healing jewelry.   Bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings and earrings that are designed to raise your energy levels and help you feel better.</p>
<h3>What kinds of healing jewelry are available?</h3>
<p>There are many kinds of health and wellness jewelry on the market.   Most of them fall into one of these major categories.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Magnetic healing jewelry</span> &#8211; these pieces take advantages of the healing properties of magnets in their design.  Most often magnets are used within bracelets.   Magnets have a long history of being used for healing and have been shown to promote blood circulation on the area in which they are applied.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Crystal healing jewelry</span> &#8211; Who hasn&#8217;t enjoyed the beauty of a living crystal?   Crystals are probably the most common type of wellness jewelry.   Each type of crystal is thought to have a specific impact on your health.   For example, a rose quartz crystal is said to be beneficial for the heart &#8211; both the physical organ and the spiritual heart.    Crystals are most commonly found in necklaces.    Keep in mind that crystals require cleaning after wearing &#8211; both physically and energetically.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Precious and semi-precious stone healing jewelry</span> &#8211; Different stones are also associated with health and wellbeing.   Amber for example enjoys a long tradition of being used for protection and vitality.   In Germanic and Celtic cultures it is commonly given to babies to wear.   Jade is often worn by those seeking personal balance, harmony in their relationships and prosperity.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Precious metal healing jewelry</span> &#8211; Even simple metals like gold, silver and copper are believed by many cultures to posses special powers of protection and health.    Gold, apart from being used in some medical contexts, is reported to boost concentration and mental focus.  Silver in addition to supporting wealth and prosperity is indicated to boost the power of other gem stones.  Copper has long been help to support proper functioning of the immune system.</p>

<h3>My favorite kind of healing jewelry ever?</h3>
<p>I myself over the years have worn several types of pieces aimed at boosting health and healing.   I&#8217;ve used magnetic <a rel="attachment wp-att-1268" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/healing-jewelry/attachment/healing-jewelry/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1268" title="healing-jewelry" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/healing-jewelry-300x227.jpg" alt="healing jewelry" width="240" height="182" /></a>bracelets, crystals and sacred shaped pendants.    While some have had a more powerful effect than others, there is one piece that stands out as my favorite.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve worn this piece of jewelry now for over 3 years &#8211; everyday.    Mine happens to be made of copper and titanium, but the manufacturer makes others from gold and silver.    They are designed with a special technology to both protect the body from harmful electro- magnetic radiation as well as harmonize the energy system of the body.    The name of the product is Q-Link.</p>

<h3>Final thoughts on healing jewelry.</h3>
<p>Whatever type of piece you choose stay open for changes.   I know that before I found my <a href="http://healingvibes.com/reviews/q-link-pendant/">q-link</a> I wore a variety of pieces and changed them frequently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/angelic-healing/" title="Permanent link to Angelic Healing"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Healing_Angel-260x300.jpg" width="260" height="300" alt="Post image for Angelic Healing" /></a>
</p><h3>An Introduction to Angelic Healing</h3>
<p>It is said in esoteric practice that Angels and Ascended Masters work with the elevated  frequencies of unconditional love and total acceptance, radiating this beautiful frequency from beyond the veil toward those of us appearing in human bodies.  <strong> Their intention is simple: to be a force for healing within this relatively dense 3rd dimensional world. </strong> Another way of saying that is that Angels dispel darkness by shining the light of truth  upon us from where they &#8220;stand.&#8221;  In doing this, they  bring all of us, including themselves, closer to the eternal and changeless experience of resting at home within &#8220;oneness.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Since pure love is  the most powerful healing force anyone can experience, it is no wonder that you <a rel="attachment wp-att-1192" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/angelic-healing/attachment/healing_angel/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1192" title="Healing_Angel" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Healing_Angel-260x300.jpg" alt="angelic healing" width="260" height="300" /></a>were drawn to an interest in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">angelic healing</span>.</strong> Perhaps your angelic companions can indeed help you heal.  But, it is important to understand that Angels can only work where they are invited and welcomed.     Inviting angels and welcoming them is simple and yet not always easy.</p>
<h3>How To Invite Angelic Healing Into Your Life</h3>
<p>Making an invitation to your guardian and companion angels is a subjective and personal experience.    For this reason it is not possible to lay out a step by step process.   And still there are some principles that can help you reach the point of including Angels in your daily life.</p>
<ol>
<li>While Angels are always ready to act on your behalf, you are not always ready for them to do so.  They know this and only share as much energy with you as you can handle at a given moment.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s important to invite your Angels to work with you on a frequent basis &#8211; not for them &#8211; but for you.  This expands your confidence and connection with them and allows them to shine more and more &#8220;love&#8221; upon you.    One of the most helpful ways I&#8217;ve ever found to do this is to request &#8220;<a href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/most-benevolent-outcomes/">Most Benevolent Outcomes</a>&#8221; for tiny details in daily life.   You can read more about that by clicking the link above.</li>
<li>You have to listen for answers and look for signs that may appear in unusual ways.   Angels can use simple daily life experiences to communicate with you.   Ask them to help you be alert and aware.</li>
<li>When you ask for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">angelic healing</span> make yourself as open as possible to receive and then follow the guidance given.   If the healing you request has to do with a body issue, your guardians may suggest for you to change your diet, visit a naturopath or take other positive and life affirming actions.   If your healing has to do with the mind, you may be prompted to forgive an old wrong or give a gift that truly makes another&#8217;s  life easier.</li>
</ol>
<h3>What To Expect From Angelic Healing</h3>
<p>As you progress in connecting with your guardians, opening, listening and acting in harmony with them, there are likely to be several visible signs.   First is that old upsets and worries will be less significant for you.   Second, life circumstances that are enjoyable will appear easier and more quickly.   This could be as simple as always getting the best parking spot to &#8220;being in the right place at the right time&#8221; over and over again.   <strong>As life gets easier, the ultimate manifestation of angelic healing is a profound and steady peace that you begin to experience. </strong></p>
<p>And it is this deep inner peace that allows for the removal of the number one obstacle toward experiencing wellness &#8211; the errant belief that we isolated and separate from our source.</p>
<h3>How I Came To Believe In Angelic Healing</h3>
<p>By way of conclusion I want to share a story from my life that made the presence of Angelic forces very clear to me.</p>
<p>Several years ago, while I was completing my teacher training in Yoga, I purchased what was them my dream car &#8211; an extended cab Toyota 4 x 4 Pickup.   I had asked the Angels to be with me and help me find the perfect vehicle for me.  And the truck I ended up with was used but in great condition with the exception of needing some new shocks.</p>
<p>I was so happy to finally have my desire met that I spent the first day with my new truck, cleaning and polishing every surface.   The second day, I joyfully drove it for the first time -  toward the repair shop for some new shocks.    I saw the shop a little late, but instead of continuing on and circling back, I made an abrupt right hand turn.  But before I could make it fully into the driveway, a Semi-Tractor going about 60 mph  clipped the bed of my truck.    That sent me and my new pickup into a roll.   We made 3 complete revolutions before coming to rest, somehow with the truck on its wheels.</p>
<p>I remember remaining very calm and actually getting out of the truck moments before the Paramedics arrived.  They examined me and found not a scratch.   And they were especially surprised that I wasn&#8217;t in shock.    I watched silently as one of the Paramedics talked with the Firefighters about the state of my truck.  &#8220;Amazing, amazing,&#8221; one of them said &#8220;This is one lucky guy.&#8221;</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t entirely sure what they were talking about until the next day when I went to retrieve my personal belongings from the truck, which by this time had already been declared a total loss by the insurance company.    Inspecting the truck I saw that the passengers side of the cab was crushed down to within 6 inches of the front seat, while my side, the driver&#8217;s side, was untouched.</p>
<p>The owner of the bodyshop where my truck was parked came out while I was there.  He said that he and his staff had been trying to figure it out all day.   &#8220;It&#8217;s just not physically possible for the damage to be limited to that side,&#8221;  he said.  &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen a lot of smashed cars in here but never anything like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since that time, I&#8217;ve never underestimated the power of my guardians and have come to appreciate <strong>angelic healing</strong> and protection as a necessity of being in a body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Last week before I left the U.S. for the long journey across the Pacific to Bali, I stopped into a bookstore and picked up a copy of the magazine &#8220;Sedona Journal of Emergence&#8221; for the flight.    Thumbing through the pages, a small article near the back caught my attention.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a compilation of stories from surprised, grateful and very happy readers who have been using the &#8220;<strong>most benevolent outcome</strong>&#8221; process to improve their lives.   The little tool comes from <a href="http://www.thegentlewaybook.com">Tom T. Moore</a> who investigates the phenomenon of angels.   He&#8217;s been using the process now for at least a couple of years and has seen it reduce stress and fear and make his life a lot easier.     And so have a lot of his readers.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a small example of how I used this tool the other day. </strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-1052" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/most-benevolent-outcomes/attachment/higherself/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1052" title="higherself" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/10/higherself-150x300.jpg" alt="most benevolent outcomes" width="150" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Back in Bali, I soon discovered, to my dismay but not my surprise,  that the internet in my office was no longer working (even though the wireless router was working fine in other parts of the house).     My knee jerk natural reaction was to immediately go into &#8220;fixing&#8221; mode and try to get it repaired right way.   But &#8220;most benevolent outcomes&#8221; was fresh in my mind.  I decided to give it a try.   I stopped what I was doing and asked out loud:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure why the internet is not working and I request a most benevolent outcome for repairing the internet.  Thanks!&#8221;</p>
<p>With that simple phrase, I noticed that I felt better and less stressed about the situation.  A little while later I decided to leave the office and go into town to take care of some other business. The on my way home I happened to pass my favorite computer store and found myself stopping the motorbike at the front door.   I explained the situation to one of the technicians who then offered to come to my house and see if he could fix it himself.   He said he&#8217;d be there in about 45 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Now, if you&#8217;ve never been to Bali, you probably don&#8217;t know about the concept of &#8220;rubber time.&#8221;</strong> It basically means that 45 minutes could be an hour or maybe even two or three and quite possible never.  Living here, you quickly learn to make sure you have other things to do when waiting for an appointment.</p>
<p>I was surprised when the tech pulled up in front of the house less than 45 minutes after we met in the store!  We spent the next 1/2 hour together trying to get the net working.  After eliminating everything else, he determined that it must be that the cable I had running to my office was bad.   I agreed and he started packing his tool kit.  As he was walking out to the door, I asked him how much I owed him and he said, &#8220;don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Heading back to the office, my first thought was to rush down to the computer store and buy 30 meters of outdoor cable this time (my office is detached from the house and the current cable runs through a jungle of plants).   Instead I changed directions and went to the kitchen and had a drink.  While I was drinking, I remembered that we had another long run of internet cable leftover from a previous company we had used.  It was outdoor cable and since it wasn&#8217;t being used I decided to pull it off the house and possibly use it for the office.</p>
<p>I wrestled the cable off of the walls and out from under the roof tiles and about 20 minutes later I had it on the ground.   Stretching it toward the office I was sure I had my problem solved.   But the cable  came up too short.    Now,  I know myself and normally that would have upset me.    I was surprised when it didn&#8217;t.  I rolled the cable up and tossed it aside and then found myself observing the wireless router and looking for some other solution.   I noticed that it had an extra 10 meters of cable on it or so. I simply moved it closer to my office and see if the wireless would work.  I did and &#8220;presto&#8221; I had internet again.  The total cost to me was a little bit of sweat and labor and absolutely zero dollars.</p>
<p><strong>A small example of a larger principle</strong></p>
<p>I know that it&#8217;s a pretty  insignificant example, but restoring my internet and actually making it work better than before <a rel="attachment wp-att-1053" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/most-benevolent-outcomes/attachment/blueangel/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1053" title="blueangel" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/10/blueangel-133x200.jpg" alt="most benevolent outcome" width="133" height="200" /></a>for no cost certainly was a &#8220;most benevolent outcome.&#8221;    I think what grabbed my attention the most was how I behaved so differently than I might have normally &#8211; which most likely would have involved buying new cable and spending a few irritated hours running it.</p>
<p>Since then I&#8217;ve been requesting &#8220;most benevolent outcomes&#8221; (or MBOs) for lots of things in my life.   Not everything is coming out exactly how I had envisioned it beforehand, but it does seem that things are really working out for the best.   And the practical details of life are getting easier.     For me, just like Tom T. Moore,  the tool is  reducing fear and stress and lightening things up a lot.   Thanks Tom and thanks all you guys out there working on this.</p>
<p>If this article resonates with you,  I hope that you give <span style="text-decoration: underline;">most benevolent outcomes</span> or your version of it a try.   There may just be someone out there just waiting for the chance to help!</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>How To Request A Most Benevolent Outcome:</strong> Simply connect with your guardian angel, higher self or whatever your belief is.  Then say &#8220;I request a most benevolent outcome for___________.  Thank you!&#8221;   The request could be something for yourself, for a friend, loved one or pet, or even for the earth in general.</p>
<p>Be well,</p>
<p>Mark</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/the-power-of-intention/" title="Permanent link to The Power of Intention for Health and Healing"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/intention-300x241.jpg" width="300" height="241" alt="Post image for The Power of Intention for Health and Healing" /></a>
</p><p>If you’ve been around for more than a decade you have undoubtedly already seen natural healing at work.  The design <a rel="attachment wp-att-870" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/the-power-of-intention/attachment/intention/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-870" title="intention" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/intention-300x241.jpg" alt="the power of intention" width="180" height="145" /></a>of the human body causes it to heal when sick or injured.  Think of a time when you cut your hand and then watched as the body performed its healing work.  It’s truly amazing.  Without such a design our bodies would be constantly vulnerable.</p>
<p>Though the body is designed for healing, there are several things that we can do to support nature to do its best work.  And the <strong>power of intention</strong> is the starting place for all of them.</p>
<h3>Simply put,  positive mind focused with laser like intention is the foundation of all healing.</h3>
<p>The first step in improving your health naturally is to change the way you think about health.  As an example, I’d like to share the story of Morris Goodman.  In 1981, Morris crashed his small airplane and suffered horrific injuries.  The accident destroyed pretty much everything in his body.  His neck was broken in two places, his diaphragm was destroyed, and he couldn’t breathe. His swallowing reflex was destroyed, and he couldn’t eat or drink.  He couldn’t talk; as his voice box was crushed and his kidney, bladder, bowel and liver didn’t function.   All Morris could do was blink his eyes, once for yes and twice for no.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-873" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/the-power-of-intention/attachment/morris_goodman_bandit_miracleman/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-873" title="morris_goodman_bandit_miracleman" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/morris_goodman_bandit_miracleman-199x300.jpg" alt="morris goodman" width="159" height="240" /></a>The doctors agreed that Morris would remain a vegetable for life, but Morris didn’t believe it.  Instead he focused his mind on recovery.  His goal was to walk out of the hospital by Christmas (8 months later).  Everyday he focused on his goal and took action to achieve it.  At first he simply used his lungs to breathe deeply.  Step by step, even though it was very painful, he worked his way from breathing only through a respirator to breathing naturally with no assistance.  Once he achieved that, he focused on rebuilding his muscles.  Unbelievably, at least to his doctors, Morris did indeed walk out of the hospital before Christmas.</p>
<p>Since then Morris, who is now known as the “Miracle Man,” has inspired millions of people by telling his story.</p>
<h3>The science of belief</h3>
<p>Morris Goodman is not the only person to restore their health starting with positive thinking.  I’ve met many people who’ve recovered from seemingly insurmountable health obstacles – everything from terminal cancer to partial paralysis.  And the one thing all of them have in common is an open mindedness and a positive frame of mind.</p>
<p>From a purely scientific perspective, Dr. Bruce Lipton has demonstrated that our very cells respond to our beliefs. In his groundbreaking book, “The Biology of Belief,” Lipton shows that our beliefs, true or false, positive or negative, affect genetic activity and actually alter our genetic code.  Positive thoughts stimulate blood flow and dilation of the arteries and capillaries, plus balance the sympathetic nervous system.  Negative thoughts have the opposite effect.</p>
<p><strong>The evidence, both from Dr. Lipton and real life stories, suggests that we can create profoundly positive effects on our bodies and our lives simply by retraining ourselves to create healthy beliefs.</strong></p>
<h3>What you can do starting now</h3>
<p>Are you tired or stressed? Do you want more energy?  Have you recently been injured?  Do you want to eliminate a chronic condition?  Do you want to eliminate the need for prescription drugs?</p>
<p><strong>Whatever the case, why not start with positive thoughts?</strong> Why not believe that you can help your body heal?  Why not believe that you can find others who’ve healed the same things and learn from them?  Why not focus on thoughts that support life and healing?</p>
<p>In pointing your mind in a positive direction the power of intention will lead you to practices and strategies that will <a rel="attachment wp-att-876" href="http://healingvibes.com/healingarticles/the-power-of-intention/attachment/positive-thoughts/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-876" title="positive-thoughts" src="http://healingvibes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/positive-thoughts.gif" alt="power of intention" width="158" height="162" /></a>help you achieve your goals.</p>
<p>For now, change your mind about what is possible for you in terms of your health.    Start replacing any negative or limiting thoughts with positive, liberating ones like:</p>
<ul>
<li>I need not wait for I have the power to choose my own destiny</li>
<li>Good habits are the key to all success</li>
<li>I will persist until I succeed</li>
<li>I have unlimited potential</li>
</ul>
<h3>An important point to remember</h3>
<p>Positive thoughts and focused intention are a great first step to natural healing.  But they are not everything.   In order to support healing and improve health, you need to take action &#8211; with  proven natural healing strategies.</p>

<p>Breathing is responsible for 70% of the cleansing and purification of our bodies (20% by perspiration, 8% by urine and 2% by excrement). <strong> In particular, it’s the oxygen in the air we breathe that burns away the toxins.</strong> After drawing in a deep breath, the air we consume moves into our lungs and then passes over millions of tiny membranes through which it enters our blood stream.</p>
<p>It’s been medically established for over 50 years that <strong> disease can&#8217;t exist in a properly oxygenated body</strong>:</p>
<p>“Deep breathing techniques which increase oxygen in the cells are the most important factors in living a disease free and energetic life…<strong>Remember, where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not, cannot occur.</strong>”<em> Doctor Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize Winner</em></p>
<p>“<strong>Oxygenation</strong> through deep breathing boosts the immune system and can <strong>rid the body of chronic illnesses.</strong>”<em> Dr. Sheldon Hendler, Medical Researcher</em></p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Deep diaphragmatic breathing</strong> stimulates the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect which pulls the lymph through the bloodstream. This <strong>increases the rate of toxic elimination</strong> by as much as 15 times the normal rate.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Dr. J.W. Shields, M.D.</em></p>
<p><strong>Here are some easy ways to get more oxygen everyday:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Exercise more</strong> &#8211; especially low impact aerobic exercise.  Rebounding on a mini trampoline is my choice; a 30-minute session has been shown to oxygenate the blood twice as effectively as running.</li>
<li><strong>Take long walks </strong>in mountain or sea air that is positively charged with negative ions &#8211; breathe deeply and enjoy!</li>
<li><strong>Regularly go to a yoga class </strong>- in one recent study students at UC Davis increased their lung capacity by 7% after practicing yoga just three times a week for 8 weeks! (This level of increase is unheard of among traditional athletic trainers)</li>
<li><strong>Eat more Green foods </strong>- leafy greens like spinach and grasses and wheat grass are up to 42% Oxygen. Green foods are high in chlorophyll that increases hemoglobin production and thus minimizes the effects of carbon monoxide.  Wheat Grass has even been found to dissolve scars formed in the lungs from breathing acid gases.</li>
<li><strong>Use therapeutic-grade essential oils t</strong>hat enhance lung function:  Pine, Fir, Thyme, Raven and R.C. (“Respiratory Condition” &#8211; from Young Living Oils) are my favorites.  Place a drop on the palms, rub together and breathe deeply.  Also rub oils over throat and lungs. Essential Oils are highly oxygenating and nourishing to the cells due to their ability to penetrate the skin and carry oxygen through the cell wall to the nucleus.<br />
Note: Use only therapeutic-grade A essential oils</li>
<li>Mentally program yourself to<strong> breathe deeply throughout the day </strong>- especially when you are around trees and plants.  It’s easy and free!</li>
