The slow humankind is heading for total destruction. "Can you as an individual person have some impact on the total?"

Yes, you can influence. You know the saying yet? "Improve the world, start with yourself? All speak words have a truth in itself and so is this proverb. In the spiritual world is one of the key messages that should continue to yourself. To do so, you need a pass to make the place a silence to go back .You are unique . And that money for everything and everyone here on earth.

Spirituality is a 'world' inside 'the worlds', with a beauty that you almost can not propose
That world, the world of spirituality is a world full of self, the world of acceptance of yourself as an individual.

You would think that spirituality and religion should go hand in hand. Why? Because in both cases the application is addressed to "God" and the belief in the other side.But there are very much difference. Spirituality is not religion. The judge also not about religion. Every religion is right. There is no penalty if you do not follow the rules because they are not there. There is only the realization that life is a school and that you can sense their own school to follow. They believe that not one but many ways to God. Nothing is good or bad or wrong and nothing will be convicted or punished. There is always light and love for every living creature. God is there for everybody.Traditional religion has rules and regulations of how a man should live and also become the impression that if you do not live life to the teachings of the church that you later after you've 'passed' to be settled.

You get more self-esteem, a sense that you are unique and that you're worth to exist. And you are quite different from everything and everyone around you look and listen. The world looks different. The world will get color and sound. You can feel the life around you. The realization that you do not 'accidental' are. But you've chosen it, even if you do not know anymore. You realize that life does not end with death but throughout eternity .. that's a lot! And then begin your search there, because then you also want to suddenly know all about knowing what it is. And that starts than your spiritual development!

How should you tackle

There are many ways. The most important thing is that you become aware that there are 'more' is. And then saying the 'human' curiosity and go over the information you seek. In books is a possibility, because there is a lot written about this topic. But the Internet has numerous websites where you too can know and learn. You can follow courses, lectures, everything. But even if you do not know right where to start, it will clear your path when you're ready. On the right way and the right time. And then you probably believe in yourself 'Hey, it's just a coincidence! "And then later you still behind that" coincidence! "Does not exist.

What is the secret ?

2008-10-14T21:20:00.000-07:00

In the media we hear more and more and it starts to be even a hype, The Secret. But what is it exactly? The Secret is based on the so-called law of attraction, also known as: Laws of Attraction (LOA). The Secret is now so in the interest that even workshops, seminars, a book and movie were released on. Even Oprah Winfrey has 2 shows dedicated to The Secret.

In the theory of the Laws of Attraction, it means that the human things in his life attracts, where he focused on. That can be good and bad things. It could be appointed as the Law of the rejection and attraction. In the book The Secret telling psychologists, philosophers, writers, quantum physicists and entrepreneurs about how to apply the LOA and what results are there to achieve in your life. The book is so popular that it has been for some time on top of many bestseller lists in America, Canada, England and Australia state.

The LOA theory

This law is based on the principle of duality. It means that every man can get them when you're set with your thoughts, feelings and intentions. This or within human reach, we will never be able to fly from ourselves. That is a bit short, The Secret means. Actually, you whole life in the spirit of what you want, you live there if it were to. It is important that you actually know what you want, and that very few people can certainly say. People who are successful with The Secret want to keep working, should an individual and spiritual development. That is the only way you get an idea of what you feel you ask.

What can I reach you?

The Secret is everything you want: a career, happiness, health. But if you really want. You could say, but hard enough when you fantaseert about your desires, then this fact. This whole theory of the LOA is not so much linked to a religious' power 'that you desire, as it were, then there is chosen a kind of scientific approach, combined with spirituality.

What you think, are you

The LOA says you can attract positive, but negativity. It is for man to choose where he wants to focus on. Who you are, depends on how you've mentally prepared in your past. An example of the LOA is that it may be that your whole life afraid to get a serious disease. Please do not love something you actually matches. The opposite is equally true, and you believe that you will overcome any disease, then have your big chance that you saved this continues, says The Secret. If we stick to something that we really desire, we ourselves as the pins were found out, then we ourselves at the same time ensure the realization of there.

Everyone has ever been faced with a problem. You can then go sit down in the tackle, but what you can do is see it as a challenge that must be overcome. Those who focus on negative images would further need to look beyond what they based that negative images of reality. You have a choice! When you work every day you come home, the TV on, something to eat, and back to bed, then that is no choice. It is an automatic, you live unconsciously. Through your conscious choices to go, you better in life and your dreams can be achieved. Buddha said this: "all we are is a result of what we have thought."

It would be too good to be true things that we could achieve by simply hard to believe. " Everything in the potential of human lies, you can achieve. You only have no doubt have a good outcome. You must be sure that you want. The smallest bit of doubt already leads to a failure of your desire. Because you visualize what you want, you can if you want the true picture of support. You can see it as an athlete in mind that the contest for the marathon run, or, if you will, by taking. There are also examples of people with their willpower, but the so called, had done the impossible. Thus, there was a woman with breast cancer was found three months later showed they cure. Can this only with a positive attitude? We will have one two three not come back. But it is a beautiful way to experience the negative things to go. Try everywhere to see the positive. Learn a lot during your life.

The Secret sounds like something a secret society could be, but it is not. Actually, it is not really a 'secret'. The man consists of a certain energy, where we also alive. This energy can we recognize it when we only believe. Everything within that energy, the entire universe is connected. The choices you make within that universe will also have an impact on you and your environment.

Fashion World's Big Faulth

2008-10-14T20:31:00.000-07:00

fashion shows, the catwalk decorated by the thinnest models. How slimmer, the better. That has long been the motto in the fashion world. At the end of last year, however, a fierce debate heated up. The occasion was the death of the lean Brazilian model Ana Caroline Reston. The filter thin models on the catwalk show and influenced young girls who watch the shows a wrong example.

In Spain they have enough of all those bone skimmed models. The organization of the Madrid Fashion Week has decided not extremely lean more models to walk on the catwalk. From now on, the organizers new demands on the mannequins. In this way they want from the ridge skimmed ideal image for many models as standard. The hiring of more normally proportioned women as a model, should in time lead to the updating of the beauty standard which skimmed extremely beautiful women are found, says Cuca Solana. "The show wants to project an image of beauty, elegance and health go hand in hand," said Solana. Even the mayor of Milan, Letizia Moratti, is to remember the Spanish ban on thin models to take over for the Italian shows.

Council of Fashion Designers of America

The Council of Fashion Designers of America after Spain and Italy the umpteenth fashion organization that examines the phenomenon. The CFDA is president of Diane von Fürstenberg, a designer in a world of glamor, self woman and a businesswoman. She has formed a committee to create new guidelines for models together. The commission will include a nutritionist, a psychiatrist and a fitness trainer. Together they determine to what extent the fashion industry plays a role in the health of models. According to Von Fürstenberg acknowledges that the fashion industry weight is a serious matter. Along with medical experts want the industry to help young girls. She won the interest of promoting good health. Von Fürstenberg will also send a letter to fashion designers in which the organization know that it will draw up new rules regarding underweight.

Body Mass Index

As a criterion for a healthy weight is the Body Mass Index (BMI) held. The BMI is an index of weight relative to height. A BMI between 18.5 and 25 is generally considered healthy. Models with a BMI under 18 are also banned on the catwalk. People with a BMI of 18 have weight, but models often have a lower BMI. With a length of 1.75 meters, a model so at least 55 kg. The new weight criteria have resulted in 30 to 40 percent of the models that have participated in previous shows, this year no longer on the catwalk to show.

Anorexia and bulimia

The former Dutch top model Frederique van der Wal said to have been shocked by the sometimes thin women who filter the latest fashion show during the recent fashion week in New York. She believes that the models are unnatural and that this lean look and influenced young girls who watch the show a wrong example.

Fashion is a mirror and many teenage girls imitate what they see on the catwalk. This can lead to serious eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. These problems may even death, as was the case of Ana Carolina Reston. The 21-year-old had a length of 1.75 meters and weighed at the end of her life yet only 40 pounds. Eetziekten have one of the highest mortality rates of all mental illnesses. According to an estimate from the National Eating Disorders Association (Great Britain) dies 10% of people suffering from bulimia. For anorexia, this percentage is even higher, namely 18%.

Naturally slim

Not everyone in the fashion world reacts to the same passionate debate currently going on. While the majority are concerned about the poor mannequins, there are also supporters of the thin catwalk models. Cathy Gould of the renowned Elite modeling agency in New York does not understand why the fashion world is blamed for the Eating disorders in teenage girls.
