Reiki & Chakra Jewelry to Heal what Ails you

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

I recently learned how to do reiki, also known as energy healing. Reiki, comes from the Japanese word, 'rei' which means life and 'ki' which is energy. This means life energy. Reiki is a healing practice from Japan. I already make reiki, healing jewelry, made of gemstones, so, this is a natural progression, the energy work.

 Reiki as well as the stones are for healing the energy fields, known as chakras, of your body. There are 9 chakras, symbolized by different colors, stones,  parts of the body being healed. The first is red. Garnet is used for 'grounding'. This means to keep your feet on the ground so are level-headed. Coral is used if you are too grounded, as it lets some creativity in. The part of your is along your knees. Just lay yourhands on your knees and accept the healing energy from God.

 Chakra 2 is orange. Carnelian, sandstone, amber are the stones used to bring energy into the body. The lower abdomen is the area being healed, dealing with the sex organs. Symbolizes life. Again you place your hands on your lower abdomen.

The third chakra is yellow. Citrin, tiger's eye, calcite are the stones used for healing the nervous system. The abdomen is the area for healing. Yellow chakra symbolizes the mind which is for wisdom but can also be full of terror. Reiki healing for the 4th chakra is green. Adventurine, jade and malakite are stones used for healing the heart. It also can help heal relationships.

 4th chakra is green. Adventurine and jade are used to heal the heart and to bring healing into relationships. Increases self esteem and love also.

Chakra 5 is blue. Lapis and turquoise are used to heal the throat. Also helps to control what say. The tongue can be a blessing and a curse. Reiki in this area helps you improve your communication with others.

The 6th chakra is indigo. Fluorite, soladite and rose quartz are meditation stones to help you gain spirituality. The area being healed is a little above between your eyes, known as the 'third eye'. Cupping hands over the eyes,sinuses and cheeks heals this area. This is good if have sinus problems too. Yes, once learn the reiki technique, you can practice the method on yourself, without paying a reiki master!

Chakra 7 is purple. Amethyst is used to help our crown of your head or your mind. Yes, it aids in emotional and mental disturbance.

Ying and yang are black and white or good and bad and onyx for strength and quartz for air clearing are used. Hematite also wards off negativity fom others and self.


Give this reiki treatment a go and let me know how it works for you! Also feel free to visit my shop on square and etsy. links are on this blog, to buy the reiki, balancing and chakra jewelry.

Using white vs. black hat methods for (SEO) Search Engine Optimization

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

You may be asking yourself, 'what is SEO, or search engine optimization?' Well it is simply how one finds you and your business on line through a Google search. You need to add a few keywords. Example being, You are looking for chakra jewelry or jewelry worn to balance your chakras, energy fields of your body. You would enter very specific keywords to find this particular niche. You woud not look under jewelry as too broad a topic and many businesses would come up. Some keywords can use are reiki jewelry, balancing jewelry, healing jewelry. It is the goal of every peson or business to come up on top of Google. Manyy pay top dollar to achieve this. It doesn't have to cost you a lot though if you know what you are doing,have a pc, time to do this yourself.

Some tips can give you to increase your Google rank as it is called and Alexa rank is another are below. First design a nice web site with photos that is well written with no spelling or grammatical errors(can be free but a dot com is better so you own the site and domain name). It should include an introduction page with something about your business or yourself and what do,another page where you expand on that and state specifically the services you offer, next you can include a sample of your work, some checkable reviews from businesses,peope who have used your services,company and a contact link with email or phone number, depending on if you prefer to speak online and not be bothered with many calls or not. You also need an e-commerce site so one can buy your product or pay you for your services. This is linked to your bank account often with paypal, Square,etc. The transaction fee is about 3%. Through out your site you need to use keywords for SEO, search engine optimization.(seo,seo tips,search engine optimization,blogging)

Blogging about your business or self is another way to get your name out there and create 'buzz' online. Make sure to add posts regularly or articles about news with your company or if say you are an artist, what made today, show a picture. Also say where will be exhibiting or what event will be at next where one can buy your work. make sure you have an e-commerce site on your blog as well. Have a link back to the business or web site page as well. Remember this is not a friendly blog but ths is how you make more money for self and company. This is business. Treat it as such. Doesn't mean can't enjoy it but you need to be motivated and disciplined to succeed in this market place as the competition is fierce. Add keywords to blog posts(seo,seo tips,search engine optimization,blogging)

Once site and blog are completed you need to add them to search engines. There are sites can add them to 20 search engines at once for free. Free is the word here as you need to do as much as possible for as little as possible so make a profit and don't end up in the red. Have interesting content that people want to read that is helpful to them and you will get traffic.Go to forums,blogs and post on them with a comment about what they are saying and a link to your site. Ask for backlinks(where they link back to you). Is best if they are in your field but not nearby so as to be competition. You can pay to have people write about you, your product and your company online at article writing places too. Post comments and pix about self, company also on facebook and twitter.(seo,seo tips,search engine optimization,blogging These are all white hat and natural ways to attract traffic or hits to your page  as opposed to black hat, unnatural way by paying companies,clickng on people's sites to click on yoursfor 3 seconds.

How to Save Money when Traveling

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Now that we are officially into Spring, the days are getting warmer and longer. People are beginning to think about the summer and vacations. Given the state of the economy and the fact that gasoline tends to go up in the summer months as many are traveling,one needs to be frugal. How to save money when traveling is the question. Well firstly if you belong to AARP, you can save money on motels,restaurants and park attractions. You can visit museums and get in by offering a donation like $2. eventhough suggested fee may be more, especially if elderly or disabled. Don't go to restarants too often if want to save. Instead buy cereal you can munch on in the car, jeep, van. Also bring a cooler. Stop at gas stations and buy dry ice. Next go to super market often and buy bread, lunch meat like ham,cheese,bologna,juice,milk,fruit,water,selzer and keep it cool in cooler. Can load cookies,crackers,chips in tote to keep bugs and mice away. Instead of staying in motels, you could sleep in the back of your van,jeep on sleeping bags,using your own pillows,throw comforters.,from home over selves at night. You could rest and freshen up at rest stops along highways. Bring a hibachi and charcoal with you as can often find camp sites that are cheaper than motels where can use shower,lavatory and cook. Veterans get cheaper rates. If need to do laundry, can stop at laundry mats along the way.

One can travel up north in the summer and down south in the winter this way. If live on west cost could go north to Washington in summer and south to California or Texas in the winter. Perhaps want to go to Canada or even Europe cheaply. Once have saved for airfare with discount frm AARP or if a senior show medicare card to get senior discount, one can travel the rail across Europe on the cheap. Also can stay at elder,youth hostels for $20 a night. Even have them in NYC! Just remember, the point of going on vacation is to do alot of sight seeing and be away from home and the usual ho hum existence, not to spend money at expensive hotels,eating out. Roughing it is How to Save Money When Traveling. You'll be glad you did when you get home as will have created some fond memories can look back on and won't be in debt.

Dating Self into a Pychotic Disorder

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Well firstly , let me tell you i haven't dated in 8 years and am celibate that long too athough am satisfied if know what mean. I keep to and entertain self,buy my own candy an flowers. Is nice to have the right man but really don'teed one. Societyconditions ubetter with someone.The last one was with mostly came for the s#x. Last time saw him he showed up at my door because alleged relatives shared house with wanted him out. Let him stay weekend before showed him the door. Past relationships were in were mosty with working strangers who were emotionally unavailable. I learned sadly to be also. They would try to make me into someone wasn't as couildn't accept was shy,nervous,moody and was in and out of work as uncomfortable there. Like many men they wanted a beautiful,confident,successful,fun,funny,smart woman. Well was attractive and smart and could be funny and fun but self conscious. Always surprised me that men who weren't paying my bills, cared if wasn't working steadily. Why wasn't it enough to be with and like them? Not being liked for self is like dating yourself into Psychotic disorder.

I temped for awhile working in offices doing clerical,reception work,did cashier work at supermarkets,retail stores. Was bored silly. I gave up on relationships as when ended made me very sad where as they landed on their feet as i felt more than they did. Eventually dated casually but was unfulfilling and lowered my self esteem. Thought this way would have connection even if just physically without the disappointment and hurt of rejection. This behavior and acting is Dating your self into Psychotic disorder. Eventually became an entrepreneur in '96,opened a pet service. did that four years,lobbied in capital of NY for a year, did artistic modeling,painted,made jewelry,sold it at fairs,fests,etc,taught art class,jewelry design. Lately writing articles online and have a male friend who has been in life 17 years. We used to date but didn't work out. He has some issues as do I but we support each other emotionally and are honest as can be without the B.S. that often goes with dating as each is impressing the other at first.

Later realize person are with isn't who thought was as all of us come with baggage and are imperfect. The trick is beng able to love each other in spite of and perhaps because of it. That's what makes us unique. Sadly, this culture,squelches our personalities and we become human doings rather than human beings and lose our humanity with one another and instead function on a very superficial instead of spontaneous level. Often we hide our true selves for fear we won't be liked for who really are so instead are but reflections of what others want us to be. All this lying and hiding and wearing of masks can make, cause dating your self into a psychotic disorder if let it. My best advice would be to work on being secure in yourself before take on a man. They don't think like us remember. Having a few woman friends can talk to that 'get you' is best as the man you're with may not. Sorry

Where is a Good Place to Find an Investment Property?

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Where is the best place to buy an investment property? Well if you ever watch HG tv and shows like'Flip,Flop' or Bravo tv's 'Flipping it', they would tell you to buy a fixer upper at an auction in a good neighborhood and then flip it(sell it) for a profit. You need start up capital to buy and rehab first home and then after sell and make profit,use it to buy next. Places to consider are vibrant communities with young couples starting a family,yuppies,businesses near,stores on the main street with cafes and restaurants. That is a geneal observation. More specifically, areas in Orange county Caliornia might be a possibility as prices for property are generally high. if you get one for $500,00 and put $100,000 in it to rehab it and sell it for 1 mllion you could still make a profit even if have contractor to pay or a partner. In another show on HGTV, a blonde female is seen buying cheaply 100 year old homes and 'restoring properties to their former glory' with sledge hammer in hand knocking down walls in Michigan and Minnesota areas. Then she sells them.

Building I'm in just sold and new landlord will be living upstairs and collecting rent from 3 tenants below to pay off his mortgage. Just make sure you prescreen your tenants so you don't invite trouble. People who can pay the rent,are quiet,grateful to have a home are best. You need to do your part too though and make necessary repairs.This is in capital region of NY outside of Albany so cheaper than Albany. This is another thing to consider,buying place,rehabbing it and lliving in it with tenants when asking self 'where is the best place to buy an investment property?' Now one could go to a nice place to live like Asheville NC or Portland MN and buy house an old person used to live in that is run down. You have to gut it but still even after the rehab it will be worth it as neiighboring homes sell for alot.

Moving forward, where is the best place to buy an investment property? Outside of Boston are nice areas with large beautiful homes. Could rehab one of those. Arlington,Craig come to mind. Great Barrington,S. Deerfield,MA is are nice areas to consider. Brattleboro Vt,Lee,Lenox,MA. is nice too.Safe,friendly,good school districts,fun places to live are considerations near a city with lots to do and see but yet still has feel of suburbs with woods,mountains,water near parks.
When asking,'where is the best place to buy an investment property?' you may be looking for places to buy a building that has tenants above and store front can rent out below too or you would work at the store and sell your product,services .

All the places listed above are great as people have good jobs,are educated,well to do and have disposable income as opposed to low income areas with high crime and people can't afford to buy anywhere but Walmart. Also would be horrible places to buy a property due to arson,fires,gangs,tenants may have to evict for nonpayment of rent,etc. All headaches don't need as need the process to be as smooth and painless as possilbe no matter which way you go. Need money for all this too and a good job at first making steady income before this takes off,to support this venture. Do your research before you leap as you may think flipping is great but it is a risk like anything as is buying a property. Make sure your neighbors are pleasant and keep to selves as don't want to move some place where have to stay and have problems.
