Reading 'can help reduce stress'
Reading is the best way to relax and even six minutes can be enough to reduce the stress levels by more than two thirds, according to new research.
Reading
And it works better and faster than other methods to calm frazzled nerves such as listening to music, going for a walk or settling down with a cup of tea, research found.
Psychologists believe this is because the human mind has to concentrate on reading and the distraction of being taken into a literary world eases the tensions in muscles and the heart.
The research was carried out on a group of volunteers by consultancy Mindlab International at the
Their stress levels and heart rate were increased through a range of tests and exercises before they were then tested with a variety of traditional methods of relaxation.
Subjects only needed to read, silently, for six minutes to slow down the heart rate and ease tension in the muscles, he found. In fact it got subjects to stress levels lower than before they started.
Listening to music reduced the levels by 61 per cent, have a cup of tea of coffee lowered them by 54 per cent and taking a walk by 42 per cent.
Playing video games brought them down by 21 per cent from their highest level but still left the volunteers with heart rates above their starting point.
Dr Lewis, who conducted the test, said: "Losing yourself in a book is the ultimate relaxation.
"This is particularly poignant in uncertain economic times when we are all craving a certain amount of escapism.
"It really doesn't matter what book you read, by losing yourself in a thoroughly engrossing book you can escape from the worries and stresses of the everyday world and spend a while exploring the domain of the author's imagination.
"This is more than merely a distraction but an active engaging of the imagination as the words on the printed page stimulate your creativity and cause you to enter what is essentially an altered state of consciousness."
The research was commissioned by Galaxy chocolate to launch a campaign to give away one million books over the next six months.
There are likely as many reasons that books are great gifts, as there are genres of romance. For me, I always give books. Books are versatile and can take you to worlds you've never seen and may never see. They can transport you. They can teach you. They can heal you.

How to utilise your talents in the work place.
I read with great interest an article by Jay Forte a consultant, author and founder of Humanetrics, LLC. He works with managers who want to be more successful in activating and inspiring exceptional employee performance, to significantly drive customer loyalty and improve company profitability. Jay, a financial executive turned educator, turned consultant, is renowned for producing significant results.
I fully endorse his thoughts and would like to share them with you. So if you have five or ten minutes free please read this article by Forte. By doing so it could mean you retain your job in a very tight market place where your company may be cutting back on its staff levels or you could move up the company ladder.
In our turbulent world of financial challenges and workplace changes, many employees are visibly worried about being laid off. Though cutbacks can be an important strategic approach to regain control over inefficient or unprofitable business units or organizations, there are several things great employees can do to keep their names off the layoff list. Though every organization is different, the primary motivation for retaining or laying off employees is the amount of value an employee creates for the organization. Employees who create great value are more critical to the success of an organization and more likely to be retained in a recessionary period. To be noticed, appreciated and retained, employees must take full personal responsibility for creating significant, unique and results-oriented value for the organization.
To build your value and to stand out in the workplace, develop each of these four areas:
1. Know your organization. Be familiar with your organization's purpose, mission and value statements. Do a monthly mini-strategic review on your organization, team or department, noting its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (known as a SWOT analysis). This shows your effort to understand the business and to use this information to regularly make decisions that positively affect the organization's performance. In tough economic times, employees who have committed the time and effort to know their organization, and what drives its success, are more valuable to the organization. Share your summary of the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats with your management; this shows initiative and exponential effort.
2. Know your strengths. Each of us is good at some things and not at others. To stand out in the workplace, you must be able to know what you are intrinsically good at - what your talents and strengths are - and then work in roles that allow you to fully develop and exploit these talents. If you work in roles that are not in your talent areas, your performance will generally be good at best. In times of layoffs and cutbacks, employees must be great, not just good, to be retained. Use Strengthsfinder 2.0 by Tom Rath or other talent assessment tool (locate on the Internet) to learn your primary talents. Knowing your talents and strengths helps you focus on the areas in the organization in which you have the greatest abilities to perform and contribute. Play to your strengths.
3. Take initiative. Once you know your organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and you know your personal strengths and talents, take the initiative to invent ways to solve the organization's problems and maximize its opportunities. Volunteer for new responsibilities that add value to the organization and match your talents and strengths. Involve others; share your ideas for improvements and opportunities. Be visible; be vocal; be optimistic and be on the hunt for opportunities.
4. Focus on the bottom line. Ensure that you know the impact on the bottom line of all suggested tasks, initiatives and opportunities. Know the planned impact as you start projects; know the final impact of completed projects. Develop a method to track and report your weekly progress on initiatives that drive results; be able to translate your performance into empirical results. Think numbers; think metrics and financial performance. Not only will it change your approach to your work, but your decisions will positively impact results and insure that you stand out.
Today, employees must take greater ownership for their personal performance and for company results. At a time where most organizations are assessing the contributions of their employees, to determine who should stay and who should go, those who know their company, know their strengths, take initiative and focus on the bottom line will be applauded for their contributions and will earn the privilege of remaining. Employees must now think and act like owners. The days of average or marginal performance are over; organizations became lazy and complacent and allowed average performance to prevail. The free ride is over. Today, every employee must create value, drive results and perform in a great way. If not, the organization under performs. If not, employees are laid off and companies fail.
We are in a new period of employee accountability; you own your ability to get noticed in the workplace. Stand out in the workplace; play to your strengths, find the opportunities and drive the bottom line. Do these, and you have earned your rightful place in your high performing organization.

How to slow time down with your mind ..
I am sure that there isn't one human being that hasn't wished at some stage in their life that they could slow time down. It seems the older you get the more time appears to race by. I read with much interest this article on slowing time down with your mind by Enoch Tan / Creator of Secrets of mind and reality. I found it to be very enlightening and indeed worth passing on. I hope you get as much out of it as I have. If you would like any further information please contact Enoch at Creator of Secrets of mind and reality.
Your spirit operates outside time and space. When there is an emergency where danger is about to approach you faster than you can normally sense, your spirit will compel you to act quickly without pondering. It directs you through your instinct and reflexes. Think of a time when you moved out of harm's way in an instant and the move was so spontaneous it seems that everything just flowed in the moment. Your awareness of what was happening and your response happened without hesitation, but so quickly that it was almost together at the same time.
That is because your spirit can observe things and sense reality beyond your ordinary rate and range of awareness. Imagine that a dagger is flying towards you from the side. In ordinary rate of awareness, there is simply not enough time to notice the dagger coming and to move out of the way. But in the realm of your spirit's awareness, time is slowed down to a crawl and it can fully perceive everything that is happening no matter how quickly. It sends the message to you and in that moment you experience the spontaneous and seemingly simultaneous knowing and action. The awareness comes just before the action but it seems that time slows almost to a standstill during that moment of thought. Perception and action become as one.
If you want to consciously perceive faster so that things don't seem to happen so quickly, you have to slow time down in your consciousness.
It is not time that slows down but you that slows down. See in your mind's eye and memory things slowing down. Like a picture frame frozen from a movie in motion. It is the way you experience time slowing down or stopping when you see a beautiful person of your dreams.
It would be an advantage for anyone to stop the world or at least make everything appear to move in slow motion. It would give you time to analyze the situation and the actions of everyone and everything around you. It gives you extra time to determine your actions in a pressure situation. This would be incredibly useful in business, driving your car in traffic, playing games, military combat, sports and life threatening situations.
Be Fully Alive to This Moment
Perceptive awareness is being fully alert and living fully in the moment. It is seeing the trees bend in the wind and the way the birds circle overhead. It is sensing how the trees feel and what problems and joy the birds are experiencing. It is experiencing the full moment around us and not just our little thoughts. It is clearing the mind of future events and past replayed scenes, so you can experience the entirety of the current moment in time. It is putting yourself in the full frame picture now in front of you in relationship to everything happening around you. It is being fully alive. With that kind of perceptive awareness, a moment can seem to you to last forever.
A master baseball batter is apparently able to slow things down when he's at the plate. To everyone else, the ball would be rocketing toward the plate at approximately 100 mph, almost faster than the eye can see. But to the focused athlete, the ball seems to slow down just for him, and present itself to him.
This is what many of the best batters have this in common. Somehow, when they need to slow things down to make their big play, they are able to perceive everything happening in slow motion. The ball rolls slowly up to the plate and is easy to see, often appearing larger than life. It's almost as if the ball is waiting for them to hit it. To everyone else, the ball is racing to the plate at a blistering speed, curving, skinking, and breaking in ways that make it almost impossible to track, let alone hit.
This is truly time manipulation, since the perception of the person who seems to manage this trick is that time has been stretched longer or made shorter. Since this is the perception of the magician, and becomes the way he acts upon the world, it becomes that person's own functional reality. It's really a consciousness shift and an expanded awareness. And yes, it is real magic as we will see.
When playing baseball as a batter, allow yourself to focus consciously on the location and speed of the ball. Clear your mind of all noise and clutter. Get unnecessary thoughts out of your head. Tune out all sound and distraction around you. Simply focus on the baseball being pitched to you. Focus your intent. Imagine hitting it squarely and watching it sail far through the air. Concentrate on your abdomen and visualize projecting energy from this "will center". You must want to hit the ball and will it to happen. See the ball big and bold. Fixate on the ball. See only the ball and focus your total intent and will on the ball. Did the ball appear to be moving slower than normal? If so, you are well on your way to becoming a master of time manipulation.
For most rapid perception, attention must be at its maximum focus on the area of the thing to be perceived. You must intend to see everything you can in that moment of looking. When you focus only on the thing you are looking at, things surrounding will become dimmer and out of focus while moving in slow motion together with it.
How to Experience Timelessness
To experience timelessness, you need to focus intently on the moment at hand. You cannot allow your mind to wander over events of the past or wallow in deep concern over the future. You must be in the present moment, fully alert and clear headed. In short, you must be totally involved in the "now".
You must not fear but be calm and have a heightened state of awareness. Fear collapses time. You do not want to collapse time, you want to expand it. Awe is one of the feelings that expands time and slows it down. The opposite is true, things that move in slow motion likeness create a feeling of awe. Fear and awe are very similar and yet very different feelings. Fear causes you to be totally unseeing and blind to the action of the thing you are afraid of in the moment. Awe causes you to be totally seeing and taking in the fullness of what you are looking at.
Scientists have shown that mild anxiety can improve performance in some instances like a 100 meter dash, a musical performance, or even an exam. But for the most part, a full-blown autonomic response is not adaptive in most of these circumstances. These are classic instances of what the Taoists would call getting in your own way.
The ancient Eastern masters from various traditions such as Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu, Zen, Sufi and many others recognized this feature of the human nervous system, and so found antidotes to it. These were awareness and equanimity. They cultivated a calm temperament through meditation and breathing exercises, which you can think of as strengthening the parasympathetic response.
As a result, the Eastern masters were able to develop a very strong and nearly imperturbable presence. Because they were not getting in their own way, in the face of danger they were pure action, maximally effective. This cultivation fed into a hyper-aware state of mind, which, interestingly enough, seems to block out emotion-based responses.
Empathic healers who transfer energy to others in therapeutic touch reach a level of heightened alertness, which is classified as hyper beta brain activity. This is a state of "superalertness" similar to the keen alertness that Zen masters have been observed to reach in closed-eye meditations. In this state, the healer is acutely focused on one thought or activity, tuning out all peripheral distractions.
You can also heal or comfort yourself in this manner. In this heightened state of consciousness, you can focus on any area of pain or injury and send healing energy to that area in thought forms. Similarly, you can use your hands to help or to heal, using your hands to project and conduct that healing energy.
A concentrated mind is not an attentive mind, but a mind that is in the state of awareness can concentrate. Consciousness or awareness is never exclusive, it includes everything. It is not a constricted concentration but a relaxed and free one. When you get into the calm and unperturbed state of mind of conscious awareness, you can perceive easily and nothing can happen too quickly for you. When you are able to slow time down in consciousness, you can use time as the ultimate weapon. Nothing can stop you but you can stop anything. Time is the ultimate illusion. All time is mental.
By using the principle of "it is not time that slows down but you that slows down", you slow down your actions to slow down the rate of things moving around you in consciousness. Then once you have that increased rate of perception, you can start moving faster again with much greater control and effectiveness. This is the secret of slowing down in order to go faster. Do not hurry because hurry manifests fear and collapses time. Only when you are calm are you able to perceive things in slow motion.
Act as if you have all the time to do everything you want.
Every time you slip up on an action or have a hesitation, it's because you overlapped a proper sequence of things and it just cancels out in your mind. Maybe it's because you were in a hurry. Your mind can only do one thing at a time, yet each may be done at the rate of microseconds, giving the illusion of many things at once. If you actually try to do many things at once, nothing happens. We're referring to the conscious awareness here, although your subconscious can do many things simultaneously. It is your conscious awareness that uses rapid perception in order to slow time down.
Time is an illusion, only consciousness is reality. Who is to say that only a certain amount of things can happen within one second and not more? There are times when people encounter life threatening situation and in the moment, their whole life passed in front of them. As their precious life hung in the balance, for one split second, they took stock of their life, including their loved ones, unfulfilled dreams and unrealized goals and made a momentous decision that saved them in virtually no time at all.
Maybe you experienced moments like this before. It is a state of superconsciousness. Everything seemed to slow down. Things seemed to appear in slow motion. You saw your loved ones and they seemed to be frozen in time. You considered logical arguments and argued them through the steps to completion. All of this takes a long time normally, but for this one instance when you are so sharply focused and alert, you play it all our in one magical moment, a moment that you seemed to control.
You can perceive things in slow motion and still let your thoughts and actions flow at the "same speed". It is all relativity. To you, time around you slows down but to an outside observer, you become phenomenally precise and in control. When you are able to perceive faster, you also possess the ability to respond faster. Each second of your time becomes stretched and you can have increased rate of movement within it. Your time is increased compared to other people's. Those watching with normal rate of consciousness will see you moving like flashes of lightning with sudden bolts of speed.
You can also use your mind to increase your own rate of movement to phenomenal levels. Think of yourself moving at extremely high speed that is beyond the ordinary. And act with that mental state. Think speed and you manifest speed. Time manipulation and phenomenally fast movement like all mind powers, require you to be in the right state of consciousness to be of effect.
The best ballplayers, it seems, have learned how to manipulate time whenever it suits them. Perhaps they do this without a great deal of thought or analysis, but they certainly employ all of the key factors of time magicians. They focus their intent, engage their will power, and energize their thought forms. This is personal magic. This is personal power. Everyone can do it. The superstars just do it more easily and more often than the rest of us. We say that they are gifted or superhuman. They are simply focused, intent and will full.
All champions have one thing in common, they have learned to seize the moment. No matter what situation we are in, there is always a cubic centimeter of chance that appears in the moment for us to accomplish what we want. The trick is to be alert enough to seize the moment and then have enough personal power to execute the appropriate move at the appropriate instance. Impeccable warriors are fully alert and fully aware of the physical world.
Everybody knows that under normal conditions when heroics are not on the line, a person cannot pass a ball through a crowd to a selected teammate who scores, all in less than one second. Under normal circumstances, most people cannot even locate a person in a crowd in less than one second, let alone pass the ball to him. This demonstrates over and over again the elasticity of time.
There's a young swimmer who came out of nowhere at the end of a race to eclipse the field. She always found a way to win, and would "pick her spot" to "make her move." Still, it seemed uncanny how she could close the big gap between herself and the race leader at the end, when you consider she had to swim nearly twice as fast as she had been swimming throughout the rest of the race.
It's like the track sprinter who digs down at the end of the race to bolt like a cannon to victory at the end. To the observer, it looks as thought they are running against opponents who are moving in slow motion. How can somebody who's been running at top speed suddenly double that speed at the end of a race, when they should be the most tired? It's an obvious display of will power, focused intent, and energized thought power, whereby they conceive of miraculous victory and believe it is possible. And whatever our consciousness can conceive, the body can achieve. Since everything is consciousness, the physical world is only an illusion.
Move Into the "Zone" of Higher Performance
You can cope with daily emergency situations and daily challenges where you need extra time and powers that heightened awareness affords you. You can run faster in less time and slow down events when needed by altering your perception of time and space. Some of the greatest athletes do it. Heroic rescue teams do it. You can do it too.
You can meditate anywhere and reach a state of heightened consciousness and timelessness. Surely, star athletes in action do not stop everything that they are doing to sit down in perfect posture and slowly number their bodies to enter this state. They have learned to do it within the flow of events. They pop in and out of this state, as needed. They do it quickly and almost effortlessly with practice. It becomes a learned behavior. Soon your total self will sense the opportunity or need and shift you to that new, higher level of consciousness. Then everything slows down in front of you, so that you can respond.
If you watch top athletes who gets into this "zone", as sports people often call it, you will notice that their eyes seem to glaze over or close halfway for a brief time. They might even appear to be going into a trance. That trance, of course, is the altered state of consciousness known to meditators. They go into a state of higher consciousness very briefly. A split second can seem to last much longer to a person in this state because there is no time or normal laws of physics in higher consciousness.
Most people think that spectacular athletes simply try harder when they "turn it on". Certainly, they do find extra energy and move with greater speed in less time at these moments, almost as though time for them was standing still. These golden moments in an athlete's life are truly magical. They can see everything happening in slow motion around them. They have all the time in the world to make amazing moves. They can run faster, think faster, and jump higher than anyone else. And all of this comes by slipping momentarily into higher consciousness, a nonphysical reality where time does not exist and the normal laws of physics do not apply. What's even better, they operate in these golden moments with a higher consciousness that thinks faster and better than the normal, physical consciousness that people use.
Remember that you control time as you experience it. As an agent of change, you control the only real measure of time. This is because time only occurs with change. The theatre of events around us is interpreted by our personal perception of change. Your perception will be somewhat different from mine, although we might agree on many things we observe together. Because of your unique perception, you create your own reality. You also create your own sense of time as an agent of change. Time simply measures change. Beyond that simple function, time is nonexistent. There is really only the "now".
Since time only operates according to perception of it, you can manipulate time by controlling your perception of it. Your higher consciousness exist in the realm of timelessness. Stay in a state of heightened awareness in order to make your perception of time stand still. It is a matter of personal time perception and a focused intent to stay in the now. There are people who use such time powers to transverse great distances in very little amount of time and cause limited resources to last far longer than normal as though inexhaustible. Such are the miracles that happen when time and space are altered.
Slow Time Down and Stop the World
Sword masters and ninjas all use this "slowing time down" and "stopping the world" with the mind technique to accomplish amazing feats of lightning fast combat which normal perceiving people can hardly even comprehend how it is humanly possible for themselves to attempt.
We miss ourselves. We are so busy out there in our minds, in the mirror, on the phone, on the pc, listening to deafening music, overtaking, seeking power, status, labels. The boy racer feels alive, excited, when he is near a near death opportunity! Adrenalin pumping, over excited, showing off, seeking attention, seeking power, seeking approval, fearful. Fight or flight that we cannot see the signs. We make mistakes, we miss turnings, we lose or forget things. Because we lose the plot, we lose reign of our senses.
Only when there's an accident, a car crash, a thump on the head, a slap in the face, a comment, a synchronistic moment, a glance from a beautiful person, song of a sweet bird, the rising or setting of the sun, a shooting star, ever renewing the rhythm of the waves do we stop for a second
time slows down
in awe, devotion, speechlessness, thoughtlessness, our ears perk up. We become aware of something here now. Something beautiful, fresh, sweet, pristine, shining, glowing, effervescent, ever fresh. Only at these times, are we awake, truly alive - during the skid / bang / crash - time slows down.
Mindfulness can be defined as knowing what is happening while it is happening, no matter what it is. The essence of meditation is training in mindfulness. It's direct perception. We see through meditation, what the mind is doing, moment by moment. Why? Because we are training ourselves to become present. If we are present, we naturally bring our intelligence to bear on the moment. Therefore we have no option but to find out what is happening.
Meditation, then, involves being present with what is here. The observer consciousness allows you to fully observe what is happening internally as well. You notice thoughts and feelings as they arise and realize the causes. It is a self-reflective awareness where you know you are thinking when thinking happens. When you become mindful, you become more aware of things both within and without. The way to wisdom and intelligence is to understand ourselves as human beings. Not through a theory, not through a concept, but through direct experience.
When you are calm, you are clear seeing. You filter out a lot of noise that affects consciousness. To have a calm mind is to silence and still a lot of vibrations leaving perception to be free and unhindered. You get into the state of observer consciousness, where you are just watching what is going on and seeing it in every moment of its happening. Mindfulness is the systematic training in knowing what is happening, while it is happening.
As the mind becomes tranquil, many things begin to become clear. Things that were not formerly clear to us about ourselves, the world around us, the way we are living, relationships. We become clear about everything. So we need to generate within our minds the conditions for a prelimary mindfulness which is the essence of meditation. As tranquility arises we began gaining insight into the state of our own minds. Insight may arise naturally with tranquility. That is the traditional teaching. We train in tranquility and insight naturally arises.
Insight is the most profound level of learning. It is learning through direct perception which naturally gives rise to understanding. It is not learning through externally acquired information, something imported from outside. It leads to wisdom because it is learning inwardly how we are and what we are as human beings. When your meditation becomes really powerful, it also becomes constant. Life offers many challenges and the serious meditator is very seldom bored.
When you're looking for something or a solution, take time to pause and enter the stilled state of consciousness. Don't think of it as wasting time during the work day. With practice, this little exercise takes very little time, as others perceive it. Think of it as a creative way to think through your problems by engaging your higher mind to meditate on work issues. In that state of consciousness, the answer can come to you suddenly.
Remember, even a brief second in an altered state of consciousness can seem like hours, since you are controlling time. You are creating perfect timing of perfecting time manipulation. Time is but an illusion. There is all of the time in the world, if you can focus your intent and control your perception. Make your own reality.
Any activity where you perform can be expanded and enriched by a heightened state of awareness that allows you to expand your perception of time and operate somewhat outside of normal physical limitations.
Slow down only that which you want to, otherwise allow it to proceed at normal speed. Use rapid perception on whatever you want to, whenever you want to.

To Horoscope or not this New Year, that is the question?
Since the beginning of time man has been fascinated about learning what will happen in the future. Many different methods have been used in this endeavour such as crystal balls, palm reading the list goes on. One of the most popular is the use of horoscopes, but is it the best?
Predicting the future or determining the meaning of current, future or past events has long been in use. Records show its existence over 3,000 years ago and it can be found in history books of ancient rulers from the King's sorcerer, in ancient times, to the educated person of today. In all instances it was and is all about trying to determine things which one desires to know but is not readily apparent.
Everyone would like to know what is going to happen in the future regarding love, employment, money and many other things. Even if it is unfavourable warnings can be given to avoid certain things that might be harmful. Time, as well as planet locations, the date of a person's birth and many other things go into a horoscope reading. I ask again but is it the best and most reliable method of finding out?
In a nutshell what makes up a horoscope?
Technically, a horoscope is a diagram in astrology that shows the different positions of all the astrological elements known to man. These include the sun, moon, planets as well as the angles during the moment when a specific thing takes place. A good example of which is the exact point in time of one's birth.
The horoscope chart is also referred to as an astrological chart, a celestial map, a cosmogram, a radical chart or a vitasphere. Whatever it ends up being called, it is generally designed to guide an individual in the divination of events related to the points in time when they take place. It is also the basis for all horoscopic traditions in the world of astrology.
Where is the most common place to see a horoscope chart?
One will often see a horoscope chart in the newspaper with special significance given to one whose birthday is the same date. These signs are indicated by various names such as Taurus, Gemini, Leo, etc.
The signs which appear in the newspaper indicate certain predictions based on people's birthdays. Following the sign and the date, events will be related that are supposed to occur in one's life. Time, the position of the planets and dates all are part of the calculation.
Can you trust horoscopes?
This is just one example but I am sure you can relate to it with your own experience. My father in law, Gordon, has the star sign Sagittarius. He was born on the 12th of December and he is 87 years old. The essence of today's reading from a local paper states
"Romance is in the air promotion at work is waiting for you so step forward and take it " Whilst Gordon leads a very full life I don't feel this really applies to him.
The first level of "reliability" of a horoscope.
This is the wide sweeping prediction (found in those newspapers/magazines or horoscope books - always in glut supply around Christmas and New Year) that covers everyone born under that sign. Surely no one could possibly believe that this is accurate and will cover every person sharing the same sign. You may be one of the enlighten ones who read it for a laugh many others don't.
The second level of "reliability" of a horoscopes.
Extensive introduction of computers has made it possible to create an astrological computer program. It is technology that depends on a type of interpreter software to gather information provided to it to produce an astrological chart followed by a horoscope. Unfortunately this method of providing horoscopes presents a few issues. The program does not care how accurate the data is you enter. In a lot of instances it is a requirement that you provide the time of your birth up to 4 minutes. If you enter an incorrect value, mistaken for 5 or 10 minutes, then you obtain a horoscope for another person. A major issue with this method is that computers have no "soul" and therefore will not be able to answer your questions.
The third level of "reliability" of a horoscope.
At this level there is an approach to a professional astrologer. This person will personally analyse your horoscope, describe and answer any questions you may have. The astrologer will examine the horoscope as a whole, rather than individual elements. The accuracy of your personal horoscope drawn up this way is questionable. Who believes that the star signs can foretell the future? Where is the spirituality, the insight given by the Creator in mediation to a clairvoyant? Also there is one major drawback price. Since the work on one horoscope takes several hours to several days the price of a horoscope from this method is significantly high.
Psychic Detectives or Psychic Investigators Television Program.
The above show is just one of many television programs showcasing the talents of Psychics. The program documents real-life cases of situations in which Police Departments have enlisted the aid of psychics to help solve difficult cases. Some are Cold Cases still open on their books many years after the crime has been committed. I am not aware of any astrologer, professional or otherwise, that has ever been involved in assisting in this type of psychic work. If any of my readers are aware of an astrologer that has been involved in this type of work please enlighten me.
Astrologers may say not all who claim to be Psychics are the real thing. I have been involved in the area of utilising "insight" for over 30 years. The best way to ascertain if you are dealing with a genuine psychic is to request the psychic to tell you, in some detail, about your past. If they can't convince you of that then what belief can you have in any information they give you?

The most Romantic, Insightful and Spiritual Christmas present on the market!
Are you looking for that special gift for a lover or a best friend that is truly unique, has a spiritual value, will always be treasured and at the same time keep your bank balance in the black?
Here are my top reasons why books are that great gift:
With a book
- Someone can plan their ultimate vacation - find them a beautiful picture book about Africa, Hawaii, Australia pair it with a Guide book and let them dream.
- A child can learn to read - see the excitement in their eyes as they sound out that first word in the phonic book(s) you gave them. That's joy right there.
- You can help a cook diversify their menu or learn to boil water. They can make fabulous chocolate treats for you from that cook book. And that makes it a gift for you too!
- A friend can find their roots (that'd be ancestors, not hair although you can probably find a book about hair roots too!) This may take more than one book, but all the better.
- You can give the gift of an exotic pet without the mess, breaking any laws or putting them in danger. Lions and tigers and bears, Wow!
- Your price point goes from fairly little to extremely high and you can generally always find something to fit your budget.
- There is love, heartbreak, thrills, chases, romance and knowing that in the end the bad guy will be caught and love will be found. Give a romance and guarantee a happy ending.
There are likely as many reasons that books are great gifts, as there are genres of romance. For me, I always give books. Books are versatile and can take you to worlds you've never seen and may never see. They can transport you. They can teach you. They can heal you.
