Become The Pack Leader
Of all the questions that people ask “how to become the pack leader” is the big one! This is by far the most important question how to convince your dog that you are the person in charge. Think of the pack leader as the decision maker - where you should go on the walk, how to behave in different situations and how to respond to all the strange things that are out there.
When you understand how dogs packs work you soon realize the importance, that pack leader makes all the decisions. If you leave it up to your dog then there a big chance that your dog is going to get something’s very wrong and make a mistake!
In order to understand how to become the pack leader you must first recognize that the following means nothing to a dog….
What car you drive, the size of your house, the money you earn or the fact that you speak languages! Your dog would happily swap all of that for a nice snack!
Asking your dog to sit before her dinner falls a long way short of what you need to be achieving to become the pack leader and walking through doorways is only necessary when your dog is on the lead.
Lastly - dominating your dog is certainly not the way to become the pack leader in fact this can back fire badly on you later on if you teach your dog that physical strength is what it is all about. Whilst you may force your dog into submission it will not be convincing your dogs mind that you are worthy of the position and that you should become the pack leader only that you are a bit of a bully.
So how do you become the pack leader? All dogs worldwide, regardless of breed use the same ways to check to establish the pack leader. The best way to learn about how to put it into practice is to watch it being done on video as I have done through one of the video based web sites. The important areas to take control in are the following:
The pack leader will be in total calm control when your dog barks and alerts you to danger. This includes anything that your dog may perceive as dangerous and barks at in and around the property
On the walk your dog should not pull you at a single stage, even the beginning! Learning to walk your dog properly can only really be learnt through video as I have found out!
If you are the pack leader then your dog should be able to relax and switch off completely inside the house. If your dog is always switched on most of the time and can’t relax then that is your dog on pack leader duty!
Getting your dog to switch off is directly connected to how you meet and greet your dog after your return home. You need to watch it on video it is so subtle but it is the difference between being the pack leader or the follower.
Lastly, feeding your dog correctly will establish who is the pack leader and there is much more to it than asking your dog to sit! Also if you have a dog that is “not food motivated” then you may be in for a surprise!
There is one site that shows you – using video – exactly how to become the pack leader and how crucial it is to changing any behavioral issue.

The Law Of Attraction under the Surgeons Knife
So what is the law of attraction: Well lets look at the definition of the words:-
Law : Law is a term which does not have a universally accepted definition, but one definition is that law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behaviour.
Attraction: [Physics] a force under the influence of which objects tend to move towards each other:
So we can now understand the word Law and Attraction - I must admit the word law in my understanding is something that is mutually agreed by everyone, like gravity. Its common knowledge.
So why o' why is this so difficult to understand, and how 7 billion of us (deduct 3% from figure since they have total control over us) are getting it wrong, and clearly living in such a muddle. Countless gurus tell us this or that particular modality, yet there the ones who are attracting the laws of money to themselves, leaving us poor souls feeding the Jabba the Global parasite. Read into that particular remark as you wish.
Lets start first by analysing the issues of attraction of just about anything - lets say you want to buy a coat, you leave your house (bought), you get into your car (bought), you head for the shops and park (purchase car park ticket - bought), you then look around various shops and eventually you find your ideal coat (purchased/bought), you then wish to go and have something to eat and drink (bought). Notice something here, do you notice that your paying, every single part of the way. We could look at anything else and somewhere you will find a particular connection to a cost, or an energy which is required. Simple yes, its cost you - but what does it cost you - what is money - this is the interesting part of the story:-
Money
Money is any object or record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given socio-economic context or country. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally in the past, a standard of deferred payment. Any kind of object or secure verifiable record that fulfils these functions can be considered money.
quote wikipedia.
So what is currency
A currency (from Middle English current, meaning in circulation) in the most specific use of the word refers to money in any form when in actual use or circulation, as a medium of exchange, especially circulating paper money. This use is synonymous with banknotes, or (sometimes) with banknotes plus coins, meaning the physical tokens used for money by a government
By my estimation the word currency means in circulation - like electricity it bounces around and its serves are machines, and give us a whole load of enjoyment. Great eh ! well you would think so - until you realise that Money is stored electronically now - (for a side note only around 6% of cash is ever circulating around at any one time, notwithstanding peoples bank accounts and assets). But unlike electricity that has one medium to move in, money seems to have developed into different containers, and pots, and hedge funds. Right now it appears that taken out of the hands of the common man and woman, it is stored electronically. Safe and sound in some computer vault, now even more susceptible to intruders than a 2 foot concrete wall, with a 5 foot steel door. Which one would you trust.
Money is an energy, something that is given in exchange of a particular energy that is rewarded with a credit note, whether your a street cleaner or a filthy rich (note the word filthy) CEO of some tin pot company.
I want to leave Steve Jobs out of this argument, I happen to admire a man who through a particularly nasty illness still has the balls to get up there and believe what he is doing is right. For now i will centre my focus clearly on those outdated and very controlled companies that have not really shown much innovation since their inception in the 70s - Now we know who the Boss is at Microsoft and clearly since the heady days of the computer evolution, certain people have remained in the industry structure that have squashed new ideas regarding fundamental changes to our value in how we work. Bit like us telling God, actually we don't need you, we are perfectly capable of doing this ourselves. What I am saying is that through those who have achieved the pinnacle of their career they have clearly stated that they will in some underhanded way stay at the top. Thus crushing any new developments in the field of computers and software. (That's why i admire Steve Jobs, he did what he set out to do). Ok, I could also argue that these two men were the founding fathers of the personal computing industry, and obviously we owe a great deal to these Men, lest we forget Clive Sinclair - the brainchild of the ZX80/ZX81 and of course the beloved spectrum, and of course the ultimate downfall of the man, who ironically was a Green (ozone depletion and all that) in his passion to build the Sinclair C5 - personally I really do think he could have achieved a heck of lot more.
Now Ive prattled on about Money - now about Computers - and more especially about the men who created this industry. Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact I applaud them all for their services to Mankind, but we have matured into the next tranche or phase of our evolution, and its getting quite noticeable that we are behind in every aspect of new technologies, and our understanding spiritually and physically and at time emotionally as to where we go from here.
So back to Money, if money is to circulate and enjoy the wealth for the people, how come we are not all wealthy, who decides the cost of everything, or who decides to stop aid in countries, that have been robbed of their finances by certain questionable nations, who inspires a nation to send their hard earned cash to aid a military regime, who governs a state that provides free health care yet is robbed by those who have never paid a cent into it. Who decides that instead of keeping their business to his fellow countryman, allow other countries to work for next to nothing. Who decides to give medical aid to a country they have just bombed, Who decides to keep a baby with aids, and allows a child to die whilst being filmed. Who decides not to take tax from a billionaire, but takes tax from a road sweeper.
Its all about decision, how best it serves the individual, not the community, town, village, County, State, Country. Money has never been evil, money is neutral - its what people do with it that shows that they are fit to be human - So all that money locked in the computer, will stay uncirculated, and serve the fingers of those that have control.
Funny isn't it - try putting the sun and moon in the computer - and guess what - life is gone.

Food as Medicine - How to Add Healing Power to Everyday Meals - Herbal Medicines
Food as Medicine - How to Add Healing Power to Everyday Meals
Have you ever heard the ancient saying, "Let your medicine be your food, and food be your medicine"? It's a wise saying by Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, from whom originates the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors. Oddly, while modern doctors recognise Hippocrates' contribution to medicine in the form of the Oath, the idea that our food can be our medicine is generally not included in the practise of modern medicine.
The good news is, foods are still "medicines," and you can affect your health positively with the foods you eat. If you'd like to incorporate more healing herbs and foods into your diet, here are some tips that can help.
Herbs
The healing power of various herbs is becoming more and more recognised and accepted. Here are some of the more readily available herbs that you can add to your foods to boost their healing power.
* Ginger is an effective anti-nausea remedy and has significant antibacterial properties. The fresh root, sliced or diced, can be added to stir-fries, and it can be candied and eaten out of hand.
* Oregano, a tasty herb when added to pizza, spaghetti, and so forth, is considered an antioxidant. Antioxidants help mop up "free radicals" in the body, which are by-products of the body's metabolic processes. Free radicals are implicated in the development of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. So sprinkle this herb on regular dishes that are Italian or Greek in flavor.
* Rosemary is another antioxidant herb, and may help enhance memory and prevent cataracts. It may even help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Rosemary is very good when used in meat marinades and sprinkled on dishes like pizza, focaccia, or pasta.
* Turmeric is commonly found in Indian curries. It has a yellowish color and earthy flavor, and is said to help reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis. Turmeric can be added to soups and stews, curries, stir-fries, and other dishes.
Foods
The food you eat - not just the herbs you put on it - can help heal, too. Here are some suggestions.
* Garlic is a powerful preventer of colds and flu, and it has anti fungal and antimicrobial properties. You can make garlic sauce for pasta, add it to soups, and base many meals around this simple food.
* Onions are like garlic in their healthful properties. They are perhaps even more versatile; they can be made into a dish on their own or added to other foods.
* Berries are known for their antioxidant power. Add berries to salads or eat them out of hand. You can also freeze them and blend them into smoothies.
Herbs for Kids - Are They Safe?
When it comes to giving herbs to our children, many of us are uncertain and concerned. After all, children's bodies are smaller than ours, so how do you know the right dosage? And aren't there all kinds of horror stories about kids having terrible reactions to herbs? Added to these concerns are doctors and pediatricians who often discourage the use of herbs in children.
First, to answer the title question - are herbs safe for kids? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it depends on the herb and the problem the child is having. Following are some brief guidelines on giving herbs to children.
When in Doubt, Give Less
If you are unsure of a dosage, give the smallest possible dose. You can adjust the dosage to fit your child's weight - the adult dose is usually for a 150-pound adult, so a 25 pound child would receive 1/6th the dose. However, if you aren't sure, err on the side of less. Remember, less is often more when it comes to herbal remedies.
Herbal Preparations Aimed at Kids May or May Not Be Effective
There are controversial studies regarding the effectiveness of herbs in many children's remedies. However, remedies and blends sold specifically for children are generally safe.
There are herbs that are generally considered safe for children, and are still quite effective. Here is a list of some of those herbs.
* Chamomile - Peter Rabbit's mother was right - chamomile tea does help calm the nerves. As long as your child does not have a ragweed allergy (the chamomile flower is related to ragweed), this soothing tea can be taken at regular strength by young children. You can also brew up some chamomile tea and mix small amounts of it in the child's regular drinks during the day to help calm nerves and anxiety. Many children enjoy chamomile sweetened with a little honey or stevia.
* Mints - Peppermint and spearmint are safe herbs that are helpful for children. For one thing, peppermint and spearmint taste good and can help flavor other teas that may not taste as good. Mint teas can help soothe digestion and are quite safe for children. Again, honey and stevia make good sweeteners.
* Lemon Balm - This lemony herb makes a delicious beverage, hot or iced. It is quite safe, but also quite effective - it's antiviral and helps soothe and calm. It promotes sleep as well. This is an herb that can be brewed into a "lemon-balm-ade" and drunk through the day, or it can be brewed hot and enjoyed with honey.
* Fennel - This time-honoured remedy for colic in babies is considered a safe herb for children. Brewed into a tea, fennel seeds help digestion and soothe the stomach. It has been shown in studies to be as effective as commercial gas relief drops. It tastes a bit like licorice and makes a pleasant tea.
The Healing Power of Honey
When you go to the grocery store, you probably see an entire shelf or several shelves dedicated to various types of honey. When we're talking about honey as a healing remedy, though, it's important that raw honey is used. Raw honey has not been "sterilised" with high heat, and it has not has anything added to it.
Raw honey varies quite a bit, too. There's wildflower honey, tupelo honey, organic honey, and clover honey. A good middle road is raw wildflower honey. It tends to contain the medicinal qualities of a variety of wildflowers, and when you're trying to kill germs, the more germ-fighting constituents, the better.
How Is Honey Used?
One of the great things about honey is how good is tastes. Children (over 1 year of age) respond well to honey as a treatment. Here are some of honey's healing uses.
* Burns - Honey has been shown in various studies to be an extremely effective burn treatment. It has various antibacterial compounds that have yet to result in bacterial resistance, and its moist nature helps keep burned skin supple and reduces moisture loss. If you use honey to treat minor burns, simply spread honey over the burn and cover lightly with gauze. Honey does not need to be refrigerated, but it feels good on a burn if it's chilled.
* Coughs and colds - Studies have shown that regularly eating raw honey helps prevent colds. It also helps soothe coughs and sore throats. Its viscous texture coats the throat, and has a cough-suppressing effect. Its antibacterial properties help fight throat infections and upper respiratory infections. By gently heating raw honey and mixing in healing herbs such as sliced ginger, steeping for a few hours, and straining out the herbs, you can create a healing cough syrup.
* Cosmetics - Honey is good for dry skin due to its high moisture content, and its antibacterial qualities may help with skin infections like acne. Plain yogurt mixed with honey makes a soothing cleanser or facial mask. Sugar mixed with raw honey and sweet almond oil makes a moisturising exfoliant.
* Allergies - Interestingly enough, regularly eating raw honey may prevent allergic symptoms, particularly those of hay fever. Because raw honey contains residual pollen and other plant components, the theory is that the low levels of exposure - such as occurs with allergy shots - may reduce sensitivity to common allergens.
* Wound healing - Some interesting studies have shown that honey is a remarkable wound healer, especially for diabetics who have trouble with minor wounds developing into ulcers. It may even reduce scarring and tends to be less painful than conventional antiseptics.
Antibiotic Herbs
The issues of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria have gotten a lot of attention lately. The concern is that bacteria, having been exposed to antibiotics for so long, have developed a resistance to the antibiotics, creating "super bugs." The grim reality is that bacterial infections that used to succumb easily to antibiotics have turned more serious, even deadly.
Interestingly, though, herbs with antibiotic properties seem to elude the bacterial "learning process" and thus do not appear to produce resistant bacteria.
Antibiotic herbs can be used around the home for minor infections and as antiseptics to prevent infection. Here are some of the more useful antibiotic herbs.
1. Garlic
This smelly but effective herb is an antibiotic powerhouse. It's also widely available and inexpensive. You can even grow it yourself.
How do you use it?
Garlic works best when used internally. It can be made into ear drops and used to combat ear infections; simmered in broth or water, it makes a healing broth that works especially well for upper respiratory infections. Garlic can be minced and added to all sorts of foods, from pasta to salad. Many natural health practitioners believe that garlic is most effective when used raw - as juice, minced, or crushed.
2. Echinacea
You've probably heard of this herb - it's all over the place during cold and flu season, and for good reason. Echinacea is a powerful antibiotic and, in the case of colds and flu, anti-viral. It also works as an antiseptic on wounds and to treat sore throats.
How do you use it?
Tea made from Echinacea's roots and aerial parts is not particularly tasty, but it can be drunk. Such a tea can also be used as a wash for superficial cuts and scrapes. Echinacea tincture, diluted in warm water, makes a very good sore throat remedy.
3. Goldenseal
The golden yellow color of Goldenseal's roots give it its name, and these roots are the parts that are used medicinally. Goldenseal works well topically and internally; however, it is such an effective antibiotic that it can affect intestinal flora, and should not be taken internally for more than a few weeks at a time.
How do you use it?
Infused in boiling water and then cooled, Goldenseal has a reputation as a very effective eye wash for infections in and around the eye. Such an infusion also makes a very good wash for cuts and scrapes, and can even be used on surgical wounds, particularly on pets.
4. Ginger
Did you know that ginger can work as an antibiotic? It is reputed to be effective against E. coli and Salmonella, both of which are food-borne bacteria that can cause significant illness in people. It has even been shown to treat and cure ulcers.
How do you use it?
Ginger can be made into a tea using the fresh root or the dried and ground root. The fresh root is inexpensive, and a decoction can easily be made by gently simmering ginger slices in water and drinking the result, sweetened with raw honey. You can also eat candied ginger to help treat ulcers and fight infection.
Antiviral Herbs
The virus is a different creature than the bacteria. Some people find viruses "scarier" because antibiotics have no effect on them. The interesting (and good) thing is that certain herbs do have antiviral action, and many of these are widely available. Here are some of them.
1. Lemon Balm
In Germany, the antiviral effects of lemon balm are well-documented, and creams made from the herb are prescribed for herpes outbreaks and cold sores. Lemon balm is very easy to grow in your garden - a little too easy, in fact, as it tends to take over if not contained.
Lemon balm makes a very good tea, and can be drunk to combat all sorts of viral infections, such as colds and flu. The tea or a cream can be applied to cold sores or other viral lesions, such as shingles or chickenpox.
2. Astragalus
This lesser-known immune enhancing herb is known as huang qi in Chinese medicine. The root is sweet, not unlike licorice, to which it is related. It has been shown to be a very effective antiviral herb, particularly in the prevention of colds and flu, and may even be effective against the Coxsackie B virus (this virus can cause an inflammation of the heart).
You can simmer slices of the root in water to make a healing decoction, or you can use the commercially-available tincture. It is generally agreed that astragalus should be taken as a preventative rather than once the illness is in full swing, so if you think you've been exposed, or you experience the very first twinges of illness, you can start taking astragalus.
3. Garlic
No discussion of antiviral herbs would be complete without mentioning garlic, an herb that is antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal. It's not expensive, and you can use the whole herb or take capsules. However, many experts agree that "deodorised" garlic may not be as effective as the unaltered herb.
You can simmer minced garlic in chicken broth and sip it to stave off colds and flu. Raw, minced garlic can be sprinkled over salads and tossed with pasta. Be careful with consuming too much of it raw, though, as it can cause severe nausea when taken in this form.
4. Ginger
Long ago, ginger was considered a "warming" herb that would prevent nausea from a "chilled stomach," which was said to occur when large amounts of cold water were consumed in hot weather. We now know that ginger has powerful anti-nausea action, and it is also anti-viral.
Teas made from fresh ginger are palatable and spicy. You can sweeten them with raw honey for added germ-fighting benefits and flavor. When you feel the very first stages of a cold or flu, try drinking some of this tea several times a day. You can even drink it as a preventative if you think you may have been exposed to any viruses. Ginger is considered quite safe, although it is not recommended for pregnant women.

Did You Know That Millions of People (Including YOU) Are Exposed to Unsafe Doses of Pesticides in Their Foods… Every Single Day?
A 1998 study by the Environmental Working Group looked at 13 organophosphates, which are derivatives of nerve gases developed by Nazi Germany. These pesticides have been used widely for 40 years against scores of agricultural pests.
The study investigated these pesticide levels across 82,000 samples of fruits and vegetables and cross-referenced them with children's eating patterns between 1991 to 1996.
Their findings were shocking… showing that an estimated 1.1 million children under the age of five each day were eating food that contains an unsafe dose of one or more pesticides. Of these children, 106,600 exceeded the FDA's safe daily dosage level by 10 times or more!
And findings from a 2002 study in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment revealed that compared to drinking water and inhalation, processed food intake results in a 1,000 to 100,000-fold higher exposure to pesticides.
Obviously, what you eat or DON'T eat matters — big time.

4 Ways Your Toxic Body is Screaming For Help!
There are literally hundreds of signs and symptoms of a toxic body. Each one is your body's way of shouting at you, crying for help. It's the way your body communicates with you. When something isn't right on the outside, you can be sure it's even worse on the inside.Here are just 4 symptoms of an overly toxic body:
Weight And Fat Gain: To protect your vital organs and blood vessels against the damage of acid and toxic buildup, your body relies on fat to stores these deadly toxins. Even if you are on a weight loss diet and you exercise, your body will try to hold on to this fat because it is needed for protection against excess toxicity.
Osteoporosis And Weak Bones: Another way your body protects against toxic buildup is with the alkaline-mineral calcium. 99% of the calcium in your body is located in your bones. When there is too much acid (a form of toxic overload) in your blood, it begins to "suck" calcium from your bones (to buffer the acid in your blood) making them weaker. Over time this can to osteoporosis.
Heart Disease: Cholesterol isn’t the problem — the damage to your blood vessels caused by free-radical damage and cellular breakdown due to increase toxicity is the main problem. Acid in the blood literally “cuts” the walls of your blood vessels. The body, as a way of healing and protecting itself, simply releases cholesterol to “patch” the damage and begin the healing process. However, overtime this build-up can be problematic if your blood continues to remain acidic.
Accelerated Aging: Evidence suggests an toxic body is a prime candidate for rapid aging. When your cells have surpassed their toxic limits, they are less likely to fend off free-radicals and produce fewer antioxidants (like glutathione) — two important factors in aging process.
You are only 5-10% as healthy and vibrant as you can be - simply because you don't know the RIGHT WAY to cleanse your body and experience a level of health most people would consider impossible.
But it's not your fault…

Fear Of Success - PSTEC
It is well documented that many people fail to achieve their goals in life due to the phenomenon known as “fear of failure” but are you aware that a major factor that is often overlooked, is a state known as “fear of success”?
Fear of failure will lead many people into inertia – the inability to make decision or take action in case they receive rejection or negative outcomes. This mental state is fairly easy to identify and there are many tools in the personal development industry to help combat this plague and re program the mind for success. However, the fear of success is much more subtle, harder to spot and also harder to eradicate.
Perhaps you have this tendency in your life. Here are some indications of a fear of success mentality.
Studying and trying to implement self-improvement techniques and/or personal development tools but your life does not improve or may even get worse.
You settle for less than you feel you deserve or are capable of achieving.
You start new projects full of enthusiasm and optimism but wane in your efforts or stop short before you have completed them.
You expect things to go wrong no matter how well the situation appears to be at the moment.
Can you identify your own patterns in the any of the above statements?
The fear of success can also make you behave in ways that hold you back. Look at the list below. These are the symptoms of the fear of success.
Procrastination – putting off what needs to be done or not doing what you know will bring you closer to your desired result. Everyone suffers from this inner ‘demon’ at some point in their lives (although some of us suffer from it more than others!).
Procrastination is a ‘success killer’! How can you expect to reach your destination if you do not take steps towards it? Strive to do little things each day that will bring you small steps closer to your goal. This is why having a personal development plan is an essential ingredient in the fight against procrastination. Take action! Any action! Refine your steps as you go along but do not sit and do nothing. Taking action is one of the key aspects in personal development.
Can’t see the forest for the trees! – this is almost the opposite of procrastination but has the same effect on your personal development. The aforementioned saying is well known but have you ever given it real consideration?
Don’t get caught up in your plan believing that it is more important than the materialised goal! For many years I got caught in this trap. I started to think and act as though my plan was more important than my end result and thus missed many opportunities to alter my path and reach my goals more quickly! Let go of your ego and allow the Universe to show you a quicker route to your goal. Remain flexible.
Thinking that the time is not right – have you ever waited until the timing was perfect before starting a venture? Have you ever waited until you had more information on a better plan?
Again ACTION is the key to the door to success. Taking small steps forward are better than taking none or waiting to see if your foot is landing on the right spot! Even if your actions take you away from your goal you have at least gained insight and knowledge about what does not work!
Being a perfectionist – this is similar to the point above and has the same effect, namely, that you never really move forward. No matter how good a job is when its finished it can always be improved! I have heard many great musicians tell how they hate listening to their own songs because they can find a million things that need improved. Yet, we still enjoy them. I think a classic example of this is “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Paul Simon. This song is hauntingly beautiful yet Mr. Simon does not think its good enough!
Seeing only problems – how do you use your focus? Do you constantly see only and all the problems involved? If you are this way inclined it is pointless trying to change overnight! However, you can use this mindset to your advantage while you strive in your personal development to acquire an opportunistic frame of mind instead.
“How can you use seeing only problems to my advantage?” you say. “Easily”, is my reply! Look at the problems and prepare a plan to deal with them. Every time you overcome one congratulate yourself. Use them as a gauge for your achievements. If you keep seeing more problems remind yourself of how well you dealt with the others. Look at how far you have come! If you see a problem ask yourself, “how best can I overcome this challenge?” or “how quickly can I rectify this situation?”. The quality of your questions are important as I have outlined in a previous article. Use the problems as fact finders. Is there a real problem now? If so then deal with it. Is it a potential problem? If so then create a contingency plan in case it does occur but don’t get caught up in it just be prepared.
Enjoy the journey, follow the above guidelines and you will achieve success. Eventually your fear of success will dissipate and you will have moved a long way forward in your personal development.
