Precious Metal Of Sterling Silver

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

Sterling silver is the one precious metal that is the most commonly given gift. Its fairly inexpensive (often costing as much as five times less than its gold counterpart) and works much like gold although pure silver is often not used for jewelry due to its soft nature. Silver also polishes much more nicely than gold or any other precious metal for that matter.

When you hear the term silver related to a product then you are hearing the description of a product that is made up of exactly 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This type of silver as often referred to as silver alloy. This is sometimes relayed on various silver products as 925 which in laymans terms means that 925 parts per 1000 parts are actually pure silver. There are also silver products that are referred to as silver 800 which is a product made up of 80 percent silver and 20 percent of other various metals.

If the product description states that the product is silver plated then you dealing with a base metal product that has a layer of silver bonded to it. For those products that are labeled coin silver you are dealing with a product that contains exactly 90% silver. Knowing these terms will allow you to make the best silver purchase you possibly can with a much less chance of being fooled by a dealer trying to pass off a lower grade silver for that of a higher grade.

Silver has been around to be enjoyed by admirers for many, many centuries and continues to be popular today. At times, though, silver may be more or less popular than usual. It is also important to note that as the price of gold rises so does the price of silver but silver still remains lower priced than gold.

You will find that silver is used for many different types of jewelry as well as for cutlery too. One thing that many people tend to really like about silver jewelry is the way that it makes their skin tone appear. While gold may appear to make the skin seem lighter, silver does the exact opposite and makes the skin appear darker. Many lighter toned people buy silver jewelry for exactly this reason.

The only down fall of buying silver jewelry is its tendency to tarnish which can be deterred if well taken care of. But still this is an important factor to remember when trying to make a decision as to what type of jewelry to buy for either yourself or for someone else. Silver jewelry is beautiful but maintenance must be kept up in order to keep it that way whereas gold requires little more maintenance than an occasional polishing.

So, if your in the market for silver jewelry just keep these few things in mind. Make sure to look for the percentage of silver content and be sure your willing to care for it properly and you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come.

The Value of Affirmations

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

There is a science that deals with manifesting desires. Many people regard it as mystical or esoteric, but it’s actually a science like physics or algebra.

There are certain immutable laws that govern the process of materializing wishes seemingly out of thin air, and once these laws are complied with, anyone can make their dreams a reality — with absolute certainty.

Does this sound far-fetched?

A BBC Report suggests this about our subject (Courtesy of the BBC) Affirmations, Visualisations and Self-improvement: Where it gets interesting is when we move away from spiritual practice and look at the self-improvement movement which has become so popular in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Early writers within the self-help movement were Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie. The original focus was on development of character and moral qualities as a human being, and on material success and achievement. The techniques which worked were adapted by sports people, and there is a loosely symbiotic relationship today between people coaching success in sport, business and in personal contexts. The two techniques which became standards are daily affirmation, and visualization.

If so, I need you to suspend your disbelief until you hear the whole story because I assure you — this will be positively electrifying.

Emile Coué, the 19th century French professor and Master Hypnotist, became a pioneer of affirmation techniques — curing hundreds of patients in Europe and North America by teaching his patients to repeat the following affirmation each morning and evening:

“Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.”

Using this affirmation alone, the healing results were nothing less than spectacular.

Affirmations have long been recognized as a powerful tool in manifesting desires. That’s because the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between actual reality and suggestions. Therefore, it processes suggestions (or affirmations) as being real — and goes about using its powerful creative ability — and that of the nervous system — to actualize those affirmations.

For this reason, people from all walks of life — from athletic coaches, to sales professionals, to religious leaders, and peak performance experts (like Anthony Robbins) promote the practice of affirmations.

Subliminal Technology Puts Manifestation on “Steroids”

In the 1950s, an advertising expert named James Vicary, started testing subliminal advertising in movie theaters. He inserted subliminal frames containing the words, “EAT POPCORN” and “DRINK COKE” within the reels of film. During the movie, the subliminal messages went by so fast that the unsuspecting audience didn’t consciously see the words, but their subconscious minds perceived the suggestions. As a result, Coke sales jumped 18.1% and popcorn sales skyrocketed by 57.7%.

Remember, there is no such thing as “luck” or “chance”, when we are open and receptive what we need and what we need to know, comes to us in the perfect way and at the perfect time…

Goal setting software Subliminal advertising proved to be too powerful that it was eventually outlawed. But what if you could use the same technology to install empowering affirmations into your subconscious — beneath the threshold of your conscious mind? Now, you can flash subliminal messages on your computer screen while you work! It’s like advertising to your own subconscious mind and having your desires manifest at an unprecedented speed.

What if You Could Have Your Pre-Baby Body?

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

For many women, having a baby is one of the most exciting times in their life, but pregnancy can and usually does change your body in ways that no amount of diet or exercise can correct. It is important for women to know what changes have occurred and which ones they can fix by themselves and by their own efforts, and which ones will benefit from other options, such as cosmetic surgery.

The abdomen and breasts are generally the two areas that are more susceptible to significant changes during pregnancy but any area of the body can be affected. Many of the changes that occur with pregnancy can be categorized under the Post-Baby Body Syndrome, which is experienced by many pregnant women.

What became obvious to me, is that many of my patients who come in, believe they are failures because the effort they expended to get rid of the pouch in their abdomen, for example, were to no avail. There can be persistent body changes in a woman after pregnancy and sometimes, no matter what they do in terms of exercise, diet or therapy those changes persist.

The 3 most common things that working out at the gym can’t fix are: stretched skin, stretched muscles and sagging breasts.

Your Stomach:

Stomach muscles lose their tone after pregnancy because both the muscles and skin have stretched to accommodate the baby. When they shrink there may be extra skin remaining after your pregnancy.

When abdominal muscles become stretched and abdominal skin becomes loose, no amount of sit-ups will reposition these muscles, and dieting will not shrink the skin. In many instances only an Abdominoplasty (or a tummy tuck) can repair the changes. By repositioning the muscles, removing excess skin and improving the appearance of the belly button, a tummy tuck can help you improve and regain the shape you had. It is recommended that women considering future pregnancies before deciding to have a tummy tuck procedure.

Your Breasts:

Another common problem for women is during and after pregnancy is sagging breasts or breasts that have lost their shape. This is due to weight fluctuations and hormonal changes. Despite your best efforts, sometimes the excess skin and the ligaments simply will not stretch back to how they were pre-pregnancy. Cosmetic surgery can help restore your breasts to a more youthful appearing shape.

Breast lift vs. Breast Augmentation:

A breast lift will reposition the nipple and lift the breast, and improve the shape without changing the size. A breast augmentation will enlarge the size of the breast, giving you a magnification of what you already have.

In summary, women after pregnancy can generally be divided into two main groups. One group can return their body to normal or near normal with exercise and proper diet.The other group of women find that despite all efforts - exercise, diet, etc. - the changes that have occurred to their body are permanent, persistent and do not respond to conservative modalities of treatment.

If you are one of the thousands of mothers who have wished for her old body back, or to even just feel “normal” then you owe it to yourself to have a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon today. The Surgeons at the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery specializes in caring for women that have had children. We can help you get your Pre-Baby Body back!

The Top 10 Common Complications Experienced After Cosmetic Surgery

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

At the highest level of care, every surgery has risks as well as benefits. Every surgery contains some kind of risk even though complications are seldom and usually correctable.

Cosmetic surgery risks frequently have to do with the patient’s health and emotional well-being. If a person is not physically healthy, or has a history of illness that might boost plastic surgery risks, they should be advised against having plastic surgery

The 10 most common complications that may occur during and after surgery are:

1. Bleeding: Blood loss is normal with any procedure. However, if there is excessive bleeding, it can create major complications. If bleeding occurs after surgery, it can accumulate under the skin and require an additional surgery. Discuss with your physician what you can expect as far as bleeding and bruising.

2. Swelling: almost everyone experiences some swelling, which peaks at 48 hours and often significantly decreases after that point.

3. Infection: Antibiotics reduce infection risk dramatically. However, if infection does occur, it is very serious. People who smoke, take steroids or have certain vascular conditions are at greater risk. The longer your surgery lasts and the more blood you lose, the more likely you are to have an infection.

4. Seroma: a pocket of fluid that can collect under the skin and can occur after breast augmentation, liposuction or a tummy tuck.

5. Blood Clots (DVT): A blood clot in the veins can be fatal. They can occur as a result of a medical condition or from immobilization (which allows the blood to pool) such as pregnancy, international airplane flights, and recovery from surgery. They are difficult to predict. To help prevent them, during recovery do not stay in one position for too long and to make sure that you are up, and walking around as soon as possible after surgery. Compression garments worn reduce the risk of DVT.

6. Drop in Blood Pressure: Some decrease in blood pressure is normal during surgery. However, a sudden drop due to blood loss could lead to irregular heartbeat and other serious complications.

7. Aspiration: Aspiration occurs if you vomit during surgery and the vomit is forced into the lungs. Aspiration can cause mild discomfort, and can also lead to infections, chronic cough, and an obstruction in the lungs or pneumonia. This is why it is extremely important to not eat prior to your surgery.

8. Skin Death or Necrosis: usually follows an infection, or hematoma, and is much more likely among smokers. The skin is excised (surgically removed) and this may affect the cosmetic outcome.

9. Slow or Delayed Healing: due to age, skin type, failure to follow doctor’s advice or factors beyond anyone’s control.

10. Numbness/Tingling: often temporary, sometimes permanent loss of sensation. This results from injury to sensory or motor nerves.

Although the risks and complications are rare, they can happen. That is why it is important to be honest with your cosmetic surgeon and disclose all and any information about your health, medications and any supplements you might be taking. When you schedule an appointment for a consultation with your plastic surgeon, be sure to share and discuss any health issues or medical conditions you have. Together, you and your surgeon will be able to come up with a plan that will ensure your safety and satisfaction.

Combining EFT With Other Healing Processes

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

One of EFTs most useful aspects is its flexibility in working with other energy treatments.

Many clinicians efforts are to focus their attention on the problem while balancing or remove an obstruction to the body’s energy system. This influences them to combine EFT with other procedures. Other kinds of healing bring better and speedier results when combined with EFT.

Hypnotherapists use EFT while their patients are in trance and ask them to tap on the specific acupoints to intensify the core emotion that causes the problem. This allows the patients to eliminate and neutralize this emotion faster and use their own intuition for healing. By attaining emotional freedom, they return to a natural state of balance and strength. The combination of EFT and hypnosis likewise helps patients boost their confidence and good traits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works even better when EFT is infused. With the movements of the eyes, the emotional charge associated with a traumatic experience is easily accessed. However, many patients with risk of destabilization or suicide are not ready for EMDR right away. For better supervision and support, they must make some progress in areas such as tolerating their emotions first. This is where the tapping sessions of EFT come in.

Acupuncture and EFT go by the same principles. They both tackle the meridian acupoints and the flow of energy through the body. However, they differ in the manner of application. While acupuncture uses needles, EFT involves tapping of the fingers. It takes many years for acupuncturists to master their field, and they must be properly licensed. For this, acupuncture cannot be self-administered like the EFT. This is likewise the reason why acupuncturists teach EFT to their patients for home use.

Massage therapists merge it into their job. Working hands-on with the human body in pain, they can feel whether there is an openness or resistance to unwinding the muscular tension. When resistance is felt, they stop massaging and shift to EFT tapping. Once they resume the massage work, the muscles are more loose as compared how it was prior to the tapping.

Making a fear disappear with Reiki, the practitioner positions his hand over the patient in the Distance symbol. This sends Reiki back to the time when the fear first occurred and became a problem. The patient then regresses and changes the past based on how he wanted it to be then and on how he perceives the situation will occur if it happened now. When the patients memories get intense and vivid, he diverts to EFT tapping. Then he leads the patient to a pretense, which will let the patient find his real identity resurfacing.

Medical doctors and healing practitioners of all sorts incorporate EFT with the psychotherapeutic alternative cure that they carry out. Emotional Freedom Technique is so versatile that it can complement other procedures grounded by the similar theories and methodology. They are compatible with each other because they share the common goal of freeing the energy system from negative emotions that block the balance of the human body.

About the Author

Emotional freedom technique eft is a modern, powerful, easy and secure energybased solution for unlimited amounts of energy to be unlocked,and to know more on eft tapping do visit and meet your eft practitioner. You then will be able to manage you soon.

Chinese Herbal Remedies For Stress Relief

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

In modern life, stress is something we must deal with on an almost daily basis. Whether we’re worried about work, family, finances or major calamities such as terrorism and Global Warming, there are certainly ample reasons to be stressed. It’s also an established fact that medications for dealing with that stress can be both expensive and have long-term negative side effects. So, what are the alternatives? Thankfully there are plenty of useful herbs for stress relief.

Try a Natural Remedy:

Herbal stress relief remedies like any other medication is not a quick fix. To obtain optimum benefit from them they need to be taken over several months however in the long run you will see that they are far better than pharmaceuticals.

First there is Valerian; it will help you to sleep, and it prevents panic attacks from overwhelming you. Then there are Hops (an ingredient in beer), which eases stress, nervousness and restlessness. A rather odd side-effect of hops is that they decrease your desire for alcohol!

You have probably quite often heard someone suggest a nice cup of tea to help relax you. Well, in the case of Chamomile they are correct as it is a very gentle stress reliever and it also helps you to relax. Then there is green tea which is a great stress reliever as it contains Theanine which helps you to relax and is a natural mild tranquilizer.

Ginseng does an excellent job at reducing stress and it also fights off mental fatigue, reduces irritability, and improves the nervous system.

Various members of the mint family are known to be natural stress reducers. Lemon balm has quite a calming effect as it reduces mood swings and also helps with better sleep.

You might find this one a bit odd to be on a list of herbal stress relief for humans however catnip is quite effective in reducing stress and helping you stay calm.

Ashwagandha is something many people won’t have heard of but it’s a great herbal remedy for helping you to deal with fatigue and it also works as an anti-inflammatory. When you’re stressed, you can sometimes suffer inflammation throughout your body therefore Ashwagandha offers quite holistic herbal stress relief. Keeping inflammation under control can also help you to feel less stressed.

In the Far East natural herbal remedies have been used for centuries. Of all things, the bark from a Cork tree has been long known to help relieve stress. Often it is combined with Magnolia Officinalis bark which helps with anxiety. Next, from Europe, Goldenroot (also known as Roseroot) is very good at easing the symptoms of depression and is also used as a mild sedative. As a side benefit, it helps to relieve fatigue.

Of course, not all herbal stress relief is confined to Europe and Asia. Out among the Polynesians of the Pacific is the Kava Kava root.

For centuries, they have used it as a means of reducing stress and for simple relaxation. Another excellent means of calming your nerves and reducing worry is to take Vitexin. Vitexin is extracted from the Passion Flower and is now sold as a herbal remedy. One little caveat on Vitexin, be sure any pills you buy are between three and four percent Vitexin as this is the recommended dose.

As you can see there is quite a choice when it comes to herbal stress relief remedies no matter how it may manifests in physical and mental symptoms. Simply follow the recommended dosage for any of the herbal stress remedies and you will quickly find that they are quite worthwhile.

How to Prevent Acne

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

The best acne control is a skin care routine. In order to clear up acne and prevent future breakouts a person needs to develop a skin care routine that can get to the root of the problem. A person should look at their skin care routine as a process. They need to first develop a routine and then follow it daily.

The first step in a skin care routine should be cleansing the skin. It is recommended to clean the skin twice a day, usually morning and night. The cleanser can be store bought or homemade. Any store bought cleanser should be a mild formula without fragrance or other irritating additives. The more pure the product, the less chance it will irritate skin, which can cause acne.

The next step in a cleansing routine should be exfoliating. Exfoliating is an important step because acne is caused by debris building up in pores. Most of the debris is dead skin cells. Exfoliating helps to get rid of dead skin cells. Exfoliating may seem to be rough on the skin, but it is actually very beneficial. A person should use a fine exfoliant. Baking soda or brown sugar are two very good natural exfoliants.

You have to remember that what you eat, your diet, affects the condition of your skin plus your overall health. Try and keep to a balanced diet and you will have a better chance against preventing your acne and having better health.

Try and eat plenty of fruit, plus ensure that you hace the correct multivitamins, whether it be through your food or in tablet form.

Try and limit your intake of coffee and if you are a smoker please try and cut down. If possible try and stop, but I know how hard that can be. But it will be worth it.

A simple tip to implement immediately is to drink plenty of water, if you are not doing this already. The recommended daily intake is six to eight glasses per day. It will hydrate your skin and keep in great condition. In addition it helps to remove the build up of toxins in your body and that benefits you in overall health

Finally, a person needs to spot treat any existing acne. This can be done with over the counter products or home made products. Over the counter products kills bacteria, but can also be drying to skin so a person should use care with them and always follow the directions. Home made products are usually less harmful to skin, like tomatoes or honey mixed with cinnamon.

Having a good skin care routine helps to prevent and clear up acne. Good acne control is all about keeping the skin clean and killing bacteria. A good acne control skin care routine will include cleansing, exfoliating and spot treating.
