At the beginning of a new year is a great time to take a stand on disengaging from negative energy from friends, family, jobs, etc. Hope you find this article as helpful as I did…

Disengaging from Negative Energy
~ by Stephanie Brail

We’re constantly bombarded with negative energy from people and places around us. If we’re not careful, we can take that energy in and make it our own. Additionally, the negative energy can hook itself into a vulnerable spot in your psyche – say, that spot in your heart that feels unlovable – and by pushing your buttons, suck you into a negative downward spiral.

The more we work on ourselves and heal our psychic wounds, the less likely we are to be affected by surrounding negative energy. Until we’re strong and healed, we need to be very aware and careful of the energies surrounding us.

Negative Places

People and places carry their own energies that can adversely affect us. A place can hold the energies of fights, depression, and even murders and suicides. (This is why people often sage a home when they move in. Burning sage clears away the bad residual energy.)

A negative place holds the combined psychic energy of the people who inhabit it. The leadership who runs the place (if there is a leader) will often set the tone, creating a space that is either warm and nurturing or energetically draining.

For example, churches and other places of worship will often be filled with positive energy due to the prayers and intention of the audience. (Some churches, however, may have bad energy if the leadership is insincere. Yet if the congregation is sincere enough, their combined positive energy can overcome even the worst leaders.)

Yoga centers often have positive energy, especially if chanting is used. Golden Bridge Yoga in Hollywood has a palpable positive energy due to the persistent and continual chanting and Kundalini Yoga practices.

Negative spaces also have a palpable energy. Haunted locations, prisons, and soulless organizations can have bad energy. Sometimes these energies are very dark in nature. There is a vortex on the haunted ship the Queen Mary that is so negative, just standing near it can make you feel fearful and anxious.

Many healers will also cite bars and nightclubs as harbors for negative energy. The drinking and drug use will sometimes attract lower energies. So it’s a good idea to shield yourself when entering such environments.

Psychic Attacks

Negative people can be even more dangerous if we let them in too close without protecting ourselves energetically. A psychic attack is when a person sends negative energy to another person.

We are all guilty of psychic attacks at times. If you are swearing and wishing harm on the driver who just cut you off, you are guilty of a psychic attack. These aren’t too potent, however. It’s the persistent, ongoing attacks that are the problem.

For example, energy vampires are people who literally tap into our energy systems and suck vital life force away from us. Manipulators consciously and quite often unconsciously tap into our past wounds to gain power and favors. Others just go on the attack by sending the negative energies of jealousy and ill will.

Unfortunately, it’s often the ones we love the most that have the potential to bring us down the most. Family is an obvious culprit, but friends and lovers are often sources of negativity and we don’t even realize it. We’re often aware and even blaming when it comes to family, but we do the opposite with friends and lovers: We excuse, ignore, and gloss over.

I had a friend who was an energy vampire. She was an active alcoholic (a big red flag) and would literally call me up three times per day crying her eyes out over some perceived drama in her life. I begged her to see a shrink or go to AA, and she would promise to go and then come up with an excuse.

Tied into this friend was another friend who would go from being my best buddy to stabbing me in the back at random opportunities. She would find some petty thing to get mad at me about, ignore me, and then go bad-mouth me to the first friend, never talking to me privately or giving me the opportunity to clear things up with her.

These are obvious examples, but the less obvious examples are the friends who are nice to you to your face but inside they are harboring resentments and ill will. Women in particular have to be aware of this, since women are still raised to unconsciously see each other as competitors (for male attention).

Men have to be aware that women will often hook into them for security and validation. This is not to say women are the sole perpetrators of psychic attacks, but when men attack women, it is more likely to be overt and physical.

Co-workers are also sources of psychic attacks. When going to a job, you are often mixed up with people you might not otherwise have anything in common with. Greed, jealousy, and pride will often create a lethal work environment.

Signs of Psychic Attack

While everyone is different and responds differently to energy, here are a few signs you are under psychic attack:

1. You feel drained and irritable around the person.

2. You have a hard time letting go (of them, of their problems) even though you know you should.

3. You find yourself over-reacting emotionally in ways that you wouldn’t otherwise. You feel out of control.

4. You are obsessing and negative.

5. Things in your life are going haywire and the usual flow has stopped, i.e., money is hard to come by. (This is with an extreme psychic attack.)

6. You continue to engage (fight, respond, defend yourself) even though you know you shouldn’t.

7. You get physically sick when you spend a lot of time with the person. (I had a boyfriend who constantly gave me colds.)

8. You doubt yourself and your own intuition based on the twisted logic presented by the person; you blame yourself in a one-sided fashion. (This is all my fault: I’m bad, I’m unlovable, I’m the horrible person.)

Dealing With a Negative Person

Not every negative person is actively attacking you personally. Sometimes, they are just negative, period. There’s a guy I know who is universally hated by everyone who deals with him. He is condescending, arrogant, and patronizing. Yet because he’s taken the reins at this particular organization and gets stuff done, he feels he is the one in the right.

This man is not actively intending to be negative, but his own personal baggage, control issues, and negative energies adversely affect most of the people he interacts with. The organization also suffers, and many people have left, in part due to his negativity. The energy has spread to the space itself, and when you walk in, you can literally feel a dark, heavy energy blanketing the location.

Unfortunately, even though such a negative person is not personally attacking you, you still need to protect yourself from them.

How to Shield Yourself

Many, many techniques are available to shield yourself from negative energies. The most important aspect of these techniques is the intention behind them. Here are a few simple ones to try:

1. Remove yourself from the person or environment.

Ideally, you will remove yourself entirely from the person or environment. I consulted for a company once that bounced so many checks that the bank shut down their account. They were actively perpetrating check fraud. They bounced my checks too. There is no good reason to keep an organization like that in your life. Even if you think you need them, you don’t need them. Quit, leave, and get the hell out of dodge. (This goes for certain people too.)

2. Use the white light technique or cross your arms.

If you must be around a person or place that is negative, the simplest thing you can do is imagine yourself surrounded with white light. Do this often! When speaking to someone who has bad energy, cross your arms. It helps to keep their energy from infiltrating yours. (This is very useful at work.)

3. Go to a higher power.

If you believe in such things, God, Jesus, angels, or whatever higher power you trust can be good allies. Pray to God for protection. Ask Archangel Michael to remove negative energies from your personal space.

4. Clear the energies in your home.

Your home environment can be contaminated by negative energy, whether it’s from neighbors, friends visiting, and sometimes whoever is living with you. Burn sage, meditate, or chant to clear the energy. (Om is a universal clearing mantra.) Clear out your old clutter and throw it away – often it carries old negative energy with it.

5. Cut cords.

Etheric cords are energetic highways that run between you and other people you have connected with. When used positively, they allow for the exchange of love energy and psychic information. When used negatively, they are used to drain energy and keep a person attached long after it has been good for them. Cords re-appear daily, so you should clear them as much as possible. If you don’t know a cord clearing technique of your own, simply ask Archangel Michael to cut them for you at the end of each day.

6. Mentally disengage.

When a person is pushing your buttons and you find yourself getting emotionally overwrought, take a few deep breaths and mentally disengage. Repeat to yourself some sort of statement that feels comforting to you, such as I am letting go or I love myself.

7. Stop trying to fix the other person.

If you find yourself constantly trying to help someone who is going through a lot of personal dramas, and yet they continue to be messed up at best, it’s probably time to stop. Only help people who ask you for your help and who appear to be actively trying to improve their lives. Give the others over to God.

8. Trust your own intuition.

One of the biggest problems we have is that we often ignore our own intuition to make excuses for other people. It’s hard to believe that someone you love might be psychically attacking you. You want to make excuses for them. It’s easier to believe that you are the bad guy. And certainly, while we are not all perfect and we do sometimes do rotten things, if a person is making you crazy, it’s probably them and not you. Listen to that little voice in your head that says, Hey, this is not right. Pay attention to that sick feeling you have in your solar plexus. It’s telling you something. Trust it.

9. Heal yourself.

The more you heal your inner wounds, the less likely people will be able to push your buttons. But don’t kick yourself if a button is pushed – you’re human! The next time someone says something to you and you find yourself overreacting, make a note of it. Later, when you’ve calmed down, you know you’ve found a little sore spot that needs some healing. A little Reiki or EFT can go a long way.

10. Laugh about it.

My friend and I have a name for people who psychically attack now. We call them lizard people (in reference to the controversial David Icke theory that the world is run by evil shape-shifting reptiles). Laughter is a good way to disengage and realize that what seemed threatening really isn’t that threatening after all. (Psychic attacks are the most effective when you buy into them on some level.)

These are just a few suggestions to help you when dealing with negative environments and people. As you become more aware, you will find yourself able to respond more pro-actively instead of automatically. As time goes on, you will find yourself naturally being drawn to more positive environments and letting go of the ones that bring you down. Then your life can continue along a positive upward spiral.

Introduction to Article Marketing
~ with permission from…
http://WealthyAffiliateTrainingSystem.com

Thousands of Internet marketers are taking advantage of article writing as a free way to drive traffic to their websites and to the merchant websites they are affiliated with. Article writing is one of the best techniques to use to obtain free search listings within Google, Yahoo and other search engines.

This is how the process flows. You write an article about a topic or subject that you are either interested in or are interested in getting listed under, submit it to an article website (usually free), and then wait for it to get listed. By submitting the article to these sites you are adopting their search engine ranking, meaning that you can get listed on the first page of the results in a matter of days. This is something that could take months if you tried to optimize a website for search engines. Article marketing is 100% free and is something that anyone could (and should be doing)!

Free traffic = Free advertising = No overhead

So how does article marketing actually work?

Well, generally it takes months or even years to get a site naturally listed in the main search engines like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. This is generally because a new website is not very “Popular”. Popular means different things for Google, Yahoo, and MSN as they all have different search ranking algorithms, but they all have a similar ranking model.

If you write an article and submit it to a “Popular” website such as “ezinearticles.com”, your article will live on this domain and inherit the popularity of that entire site. This will give your article a head start by being listed in the top rank site, thus getting spidered frequently by the search engines.

Search Engine Optimization is something that marketers have been perfecting for years, but it can take a VERY long time to get your own website displayed at all under the keywords that you want. With article marketing, you leverage the power of these large sites (ezinearticles.com, squidoo.com, usfreeads.com, etc.) to get top natural listings for your articles in a fraction of the time.

We’re going tell you exactly how to find the right keywords to use in article marketing, how to obtain a top listing in the search engines under these keywords, and how you can create profitable article marketing campaigns.

Hi Freinds!

What do you know about cell phone use?  What can you do about the EMF risks in you or your child’s cell phone?  Vist: http://eFuelEnhancerBiz.com and find a solution for you!

Scientists warn US Congress of cancer risk for cell phone use

WASHINGTON (AFP)
The potential link between mobile telephones and brain cancer could be similar to the link between lung cancer and smoking — something tobacco companies took 50 years to recognize, US scientists have warned. Scientists are currently split on the level of danger the biological effects of the magnetic field emitted by cellular telephones poses to humans.

The potential link between mobile telephones and brain cancer could be similar to the link between lung cancer and smoking — something tobacco companies took 50 years to recognize, according to US scientists’ warning.

Scientists are currently split on the level of danger the biological effects of the magnetic field emitted by cellular telephones poses to humans.

However, society “must not repeat the situation we had with the relationship between smoking and lung cancer where we … waited until every ‘i’ was dotted and ‘t’ was crossed before warnings were issued,” said David Carpenter, director of the Institute of Health and Environment at the University of Albany, in testimony before a subcommittee of the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform.

“Precaution is warranted even in the absence of absolutely final evidence concerning the magnitude of the risk” — especially for children, said Carpenter.

Ronald Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute — one of the top US cancer research centers — said that most studies “claiming that there is no link between cell phones and brain tumors are outdated, had methodological concerns and did not include sufficient numbers of long-term cell phone users.”

Many studies denying a link defined regular cell phone use as “once a week,” he said.

“Recalling the 70 years that it took to remove lead from paint and gasoline and the 50 years that it took to convincingly establish the link between smoking and lung cancer, I argue that we must learn from our past to do a better job of interpreting evidence of potential risk,” said Herberman.

A brain tumor can take dozens of years to develop, the scientists said.

Scientists are currently split on the level of danger the biological effects of the magnetic field emitted by cellular telephones poses to humans.

Carpenter and Herberman both told the committee the brain cancer risk from cell phone use is far greater for children than for adults.

Herberman held up a model for lawmakers showing how radiation from a cell phone penetrates far deeper into the brain of a five-year-old than that of an adult.

The committee were shown several European studies, particularly surveys from Scandinavia — where the cell phone was first developed — which show that the radiation emitted by cell phones have definite biological consequences.

For example, a 2008 study by Swedish cancer specialist Lennart Hardell found that frequent cell phone users are twice as likely to develop a benign tumor on the auditory nerves of the ear most used with the handset, compared to the other ear.

A separate study in Israel determined that heavy cell phone users had a 50 percent increased likelihood in developing a salivary gland tumor.

In addition, a paper published this month by the Royal Society in London found that adolescents who start using cell phones before the age of 20 were five times more likely to develop brain cancer at the age of 29 than those who didn’t use a cell phone.

“It’s only on the side of the head where you use the cell phone,” Carpenter said.

“Every child is using cell phones all of the time, and there are three billion cell phone users in the world,” said Herberman.

He added that, like the messages that warn of health risks on cigarette packs, cell phones “need a precautionary message.”

Carpenter described the situation as “a critical public health issue,” and called on the US government to support further research and for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in charge of monitoring the use of the radio spectrum, “to review their standards.”

Also testifying was Julius Knapp, who heads the FCC office of engineering and technology — responsible for setting limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy from electronic devices like telephones that they approve, to prevent it from heating up live tissue.

“It is important to understand that we rely on guidance from US health, safety and environmental agencies in setting those limits,” Knapp said.

He added: “The FCC staff is not sufficiently qualified to speak with authority to the science of health effects of RF absorption in the body.”

Hi Friends

How much pollution can eeFuel save in my automobile?

The average automobile in the United States uses approximately 600 gallons (or
about 3,900lbs) of gasoline per year, and gets driven about 13,000 miles with an
average fuel consumption of 21.7 mpg.

At an air to fuel ratio of 14.7:1, these 3,900lbs of fuel would be burned with about
57,330lbs of air (which is made up of about 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen).

In the “typical” USA automobile this combustion would produce the following total
yearly exhaust emissions. Also shown is the anticipated reduction in these total
emissions resulting from the use of eeeFul fuel additive:
Emission lbs/year eeFuel Reduction Benefit (lbs/yr)

HC     34            -50% 17
CO     328          -50% 164
NOx   34            -30% 10
CO2   12,770     -15% 1,916
Total  13,166         2,107

Since using eeFuel also improves fuel economy by about 15%, there should be a
saving of approximately 90 gallons per year of gasoline.

It would take less than 15 ounces of eeFuel to treat these 600 gallons of fuel
(using 5,000:1 dose ratio).

So, by using less than 15 ounces of eeFuel, the average motorist would be able
to save approximately 90 gallons of gasoline per year while at the same time
reducing air pollution by just over 2,100lbs (or almost one ton).

Greenhouse gas emissions would also be reduced significantly. Using eeFuel
would reduce global CO2 emissions by about 1,900 lbs/year per vehicle. If
every vehicle in the USA used eeFuel, this would reduce global CO2 emissions
by about 120 million tons per year.

For environmental comparison purposes, a typical large mature urban street tree
absorbs about 48 lbs per year of CO2. However, from the above table, a single
vehicle using eeFuel would reduce CO2 emissions by about 1,916 lbs per year.
Therefore, every single vehicle that started using eeFuel would begin reducing
carbon emissions equivalent to planting 40 large mature trees.

Even more remarkable, there would be no net cost associated with these
reductions, since eeFuel should pay for itself in fuel economy improvements.

Love, Peace, and Blessings!

Thanks to my friend Laurie for letting me know about a new Article Directory that actually pays me 8 different ways to submit articles.

How cool is that?

Yes, there is a brand new article directory that just opened, and it is already looking like it will be a major player in the article marketing industry.

It is called AffSphere… where you can submit articles for CASH…

http://ArticlesForCash.com

It is generally well-known that the most successful form of advertising is the kind that lets you become a "real person" in your prospects’ minds. Would you agree?

One of the ways to do this is with Article Marketing.  When the prospect reads your published article and then clicks on your author link that sends them to your website, they are already inclined to trust you because they perceive you as an expert in your field.

This means they will almost certainly join your list, and they are a LOT more likely to purchase an item from you or join your home-based business. The new article directory called Affsphere looks like it is going to be gaining quite a bit of steam.

Since it is so new, now is a perfect time to submit your articles or just sign up so you can start referring people there.
 
As the directory gains steam, any articles you submit now will go higher and higher on the search engines and attract more traffic to your sites.
 
They have a report selling right now for just $5 which is an excellent deal, and if you are in the first 200 people to grab it, you get some pretty sweet bonuses too like 5000 ad credits which will later cost you $97!

Here’s the link to check it out:

http://ArticlesForCash.com

You can earn from this one just by referring people too, so EVEN IF you don’t want to write articles (or hire ghostwriters to write them for you), you should sign up to check out the system.
 
TIP: Once you join, make sure to watch the short video in your member’s site that explain how to use Affsphere and also how to earn from Affsphere in 8 different ways.

Hope to see your articles there!

Many blessings for your prosperity and well being.

In sincere appreciation,
