Jobs not only bestow money and power, they also make for wisdom and learning

Unable to bear his poverty, a priest went to the temple and begged the deity there for a solution. That night the deity left a golden pot in the courtyard of the priest's house. The priest found the golden pot with some water in it. He threw the water out and went to the market where he sold the pot to a merchant. With the money he received, he repaid all his debts and returned home a rich man laden with gifts for his family. Soon after, his family fought over the vast wealth, everyone from his wife to his children to his parents and his siblings demanding their share.
Unable to bear the mental agony, the priest went back to the temple and complained to the deity. "You have added to my problem not solved it with the golden pot". And deity said, "Golden pot? What golden pot? I gave you the elixir of contentment, enough for you and your family. It happened to be contained in a golden pot. Did you not drink it?"
Every job is a golden container full of water. The pot is the salary that pays our bills and the designation that pleases our desire to feel significant. But in each job is potentially the opportunity to grow intellectually and emotionally. Each job contains the seed of learning that can germinate in our mind, if we allow it to. Unfortunately, jobs are seen more in economic terms (the pot) than in learning terms (the water).
When Jacob retired, he expected that the company would throw a farewell party. This did not happen. He expected that the company would miss him terribly and call him back. This did not happen either. He felt unwanted and small. He did not matter, he realised. So when he went back to claim his final dues, he went with a heavy heart. As he waited outside the office, familiar faces passed him by. Some stopped and spoke to him, some smiled, some just ignored him. At that moment, Jacob had a Eureka moment. He realised he did not need his job to validate himself.
That is what he was doing and that was his problem. The office, like the forest, outlives the resident beasts. The beasts find nourishment in the forest but eventually they die. The forest continues to be neither loving nor hating towards its resident beasts. Animals do not resent the forest when it is time for them to go, but humans do. Why?
Animals work for survival. Humans are the only animals who also work for meaning. Hence in Sanskrit, the same word, artha, is used to indicate economics, politics and meaning. Jobs can give us money and power (the pot) but they can also give us wisdom (the water). Do we drink the water?
As Jacob speculated, he drank the water. Suddenly wisdom dawned. He felt like Newton hit by an apple. He realized that he was expecting too much from the organisation. It neither loved him nor hated it. It gave him value and he gave value to it. And now it was time to part ways, without rage or resentment. With that, Jacob found his final artha and quenched his thirst. He took his dues and left with a smile.

Now, ‘nanotech’ spray that enables smartphones to work underwater

A company has come up with a ''nanotech' coating for smartphones, which lets users dunk their phones fully underwater and still have them working when they come back out. A preview for next year’s CES technology conference in Las Vegas showed off the new coating for smartphones and a working phone was dipped into a bowl of water, and was still working even below the surface. The CEO of the company HZO, which makes the coating, made a call to the Galaxy S, and it rang underwater. The technology works by spraying an ultra-thin coat over the exterior and ports of gadgets, preventing water damage. The coating “seeps” into every crevice, including ports such as the headphone port, protecting individual components. The HZO coating is a mix of various substances that spray over electrical components and protect them from water damage, even inside the ports on electrical devices The touchscreens also still work, as do the ports the hi-tech spray is applied to. “HzO uses a unique coating processes to shield almost anything from water and corrosion damage,” the Daily Mail quoted the company as saying. “Unlike other water damage solutions, with HzO technology a device is not sealed, water is able to enter,” it added.

The healing power of water

The healing power of water

The fact that water has a high value in healing seems to be a knowledge that has gone missing in our day and age of sodas and coffee. Correct intake of water can cure many problems so lets take a closer look at water.

Some facts about water
Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90 percent of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60 percent of the human body is water, the brain is composed of 70 percent water, blood is 82 percent water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water.
The unique qualities and properties of water are what make it so important and basic to life. The cells in our bodies are full of water. The excellent ability of water to dissolve so many substances allows our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes. Water's "stickiness" (from surface tension) plays a part in our body's ability to transport these elements all through ourselves. The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolised and transported by water in the bloodstream. No less important is the ability of water to transport waste material out of our bodies.

You definitely need it
Your body consists of a lot of water. Just imagine if you drained away the water in your body, not much left is there? It is easy to see that your body needs water and it needs a lot. Drink water and your body will respond positively, on the other hand if you do not drink enough your body will start to move water from less essential systems to more vital systems. Question is what systems in your body would you would classify as less vital? 75% of your brain tissue consists of water and your brain runs 7 days per week and 24 hours per day. Your brain needs water more than any other organ since your whole system depends on a functioning brain. When starting to drink more water one of the first things you will notice is that your will feel more "clear".

Water an effective medicine
Water is nature's most effective medicine because it is essential for cleaning and removing toxins from the body. When your body does not get enough water it cannot remove toxins and problems start occurring. When you are under stress, growth or any other kind of change including healing, your body will produce chemicals and other waste that need to be removed from your system. If you think about it most types of healing suggests that you drink water after a session, I wonder why?! Water will remove waste through your lungs, skin (sweat), urine and faeces. Enough water will mean that your system will effectively remove toxins and help keeping you healthy.

Drink enough and stay healthy
It is recommended that you drink at least eight glasses of eight ounces water per day (8 glasses of 2,5dl). If you are in warmer climates you might need to drink up to twice that amount. Give your body the water it needs to function properly and you will find that just drinking more water can actually solve many problems. Water is known to have an effect on diverse diseases like: angina, arthritis, asthma, back problems, depression, diabetes, excess weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraine, MS (multiple sclerosis) just to mention a few.

Not just any fluid
In most countries tap water is contaminated or not really fit for drinking, in such cases you need to install a water purifier. If possible drink good quality bottled water. Remember just because it is wet does not mean it is water! Coffee, tea, beer, soda, juice etc. all contain dehydrating agents, you might actually lose more fluid than you take in. Stick to water!

It is never too late for water
You can never drink too much water (but as with anything else don't overdo it), water will help your system to clear itself of toxins and make you feel better. Remember that starting a new habit of drinking water properly will not overnight create results. Your problems may have taken time to develop, therefore it will also take time to cure them.

Reiki and water
Naturallyyou can use Reiki to improve the healing powers of the water you drink. Hold your hands around the glass of water you are about to drink and let Reiki flow. If you have Reiki II you can use the symbols to further help the process. Keep your intention on the fact that you want the water to be as pure and healthy as possible for you at this moment.

One last thing: You are not ill - your body is thirsty!

Magnetized Oils

Oil can be magnetized in an approximately similar fashion as of magnetization of water with the exception that the oils need a longer duration of exposure to magnets in order to assimilate the beneficial properties of the latter.

Oils are prepared either on the North Pole or the South Pole and hence are of two types only. Mixed oil is not used as the oils are used as for external application only. The use of blue and red oils in naturopathy are designated as such `cause these are prepared in blue or red bottles and exposed to sunlight for a minimum of 21 days to imbibe cooling or heating properties of the sun`s radiation passing through particular colors. These oils are used against a number of infections like boils, fever, headache and rheumatic pains.

Following a similar principle, the magneto therapists utilize the natural potency of magnetism, which has made it possible to use the immense healing properties of the oils.

North Pole Oil:
To obtain North-pole oil:

Take a colorless, clean glass bottle (preferably round in shape). Fill it with coconut or til (sesame) oil. Cork it properly and keep it over the north pole of a strong magnet for 15 days. During this period, shake the bottle occasionally to help the oil absorb the magnetic emanations uniformly. After the above period, remove the bottle, shake it well and label it as `North-pole Oil` and keep it in a cool place away from the sun. The north-pole oil is highly useful in painful infections, which arise as a result of eczema, infectious Wounds and cuts and boils. South-Pole oil: South Pole oil is prepared in the same way as that of the north-pole oil except that the bottle filled with any of the two oils mentioned under the north-pole oil should be kept over the south pole of a strong magnet for 15 days. Prepare the oil and label it `South-pole Oil`. South-pole oil is highly effective in non-infectious affections like sciatica, cervical spondylitis, arthritis, lumbago, painful inflammations and sprains and strains. Method of Applying Magnetized Oil: Although Magnetized oils can be used independently; they are generally used during magnetic treatment, as in the case of cure for whooping cough and pneumonia. Before applying the oil, clean the infected portion properly and lightly rub the north or South Pole oil over it. A piece of cloth or napkin is placed over the oiled portion. Then the magnet is placed accordingly. Magnetization of Other Substances: Fluids other than water can also be magnetized for treatment. Consumable products like milk, beer and wine can be magnetized with similar types of magnets. The duration of exposure of these substances may be restricted to an hour or so as these are consumed in large quantities. Other substances like rose water can also be magnetized for about 12 hours, and can be used as eye drops in infections such as conjunctivitis, sore eyes and ophthalmia. Glycerin can also be magnetized with the South Pole to use for either as throat pain or against fissures, chaps and cracks of the skin. Many homeopathic physicians in India magnetize various homoeopathic ointments and mother tinctures based on the firm belief that such treated ointments are more effective and have a better penetrating power in several skin conditions. Substances used for cosmetic purposes such as shampoos are also often magnetized for treatment against dandruff and hair fall. Hair oils can also undergo magnetization process for improved growth and lustre of hair. Mouth washes; Eardrops, and skin oil are some instances of innumerable possibilities of using magnets and hence better products.

Motivational Story - #Priceless Words

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.
He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. "Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping. Love You!"
Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.
His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?"
His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.
Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect a big quarrel with her!"
His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said, "LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M MARRIED!"

Preparation of Flower Remedies

Image via Wikipedia

There are two methods of preparing flower remedies viz. the Sun method and the boiling method. Although discovered by Dr. Bach these two methods are still followed for extracting the flower essence.. The two methods are collectively called as `potentization`. The basic difference of flower remedies with homeopathy lies in the preparative method of flower remedies.

The two types of methods in flower remedies are-
1.Sun Method : Dr. Bach found that the curative properties of plants are localized in the flower heads. He expanded the principle and was sure that the dew that is accumulated on the flowers also possesses some of the curative properties. In order to prove himself right he collected the dew that actually was deposited over the flowers and tested them. Dr. Bach discovered that the essence of the flowers is also present in the dewdrops also but the flower essence is more potent in the dewdrops that are exposed to sun.

Practically, it is not possible to collect so many dewdrops. So, in real life the flowers are placed in the jar containing clear water of stream and this is left in the sun. After a few hours, the extracts of flowers ooze out into the water.

2. Boiling Method : Boiling method is almost as same as sun method. Here the flower is placed in the jar containing clear water of the stream and then it is boiled. The flower extract pass out in the water. But there is one restriction in the boiling method. It cannot be used for the flowers that are heat sensitive.

Dont get anything for kindness...Excellent!

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.
She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.
She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
