Aliky in Natarajasana, Lord Shiva Dancer day before due Date June 1st, 2011

 Yoga Asana or Physical Exercise: These gently work on the reproductive organs and pelvis to ensure a smooth pregnancy and a relatively easy childbirth. At the subtle level, these ensure optimum supply of blood and nutrients to the developing foetus.

 Breathing or Pranayama – These powerful techniques ensure the abundant supply of oxygen and a better life force for you and your child. These methods work on your fitness during pregnancy. Breath also has the ability to create one-pointedness and calm the parasympathetic nervous system. Key pranayama exercises also help energize the brain and nervous system in addition to assisting with libido balance and harmonious energy distribution throughout the body in particular after during and after birth. Some key pranayama and breathing techniques are available at our Youtube channel where you can view examples of Pranayama technique  as well as Super Brain Yoga.

 Meditation – As a therapeutic tool, meditation will help you resolve the deepest of neuroses, fears and conflicts, which are so common during pregnancy. Meditation brings with it an incredible awareness which helps you connect with your child in a way that is impossible to explain. Meditation also assists you consciously rest and purge stress and fatigue from the body and mind very simply.  Sublime Energy also provides timely, relevant and simple consulting for meditation techniques.

Breath and Meditation is particularly effective during pregnancy for physical and mental relaxation as well as for childbirth preparation.

 Psychological Health and balance, also hormonal balance is experienced as an effect of either or all of the techniques combined. Sublime Energy also provides “non-invasive’ hormonal harmonizing energetic facilitation and overall energetic balancing and clearing including your home/work place which also promotes psychological health and wellness/stability during this fluctuating time. Please enquire about our one on one or small group remote consultancy services which are available both remote or in person and are most timely and effective. We have worked with pregnancy mums, families, young babies and family dynamics. More details below …

 Nutrition and balance: Mineralization is key for overall optimum bodily functions during pregnancy. Blue Ocean Minerals, are key for neural development in baby, hydration for mum and baby, optimizing cellular function and the body’s electrolyte functioning. When one feels balanced, intuitive “cravings” for nutrition become a reality as an effect of Blue Ocean Minerals from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.  Minerals are vitally important for your health, we are made of minerals, they are not optional, but an essential part of our health and life. Similarly like clean food and water. Ocean chemistry is the same as our chemistry and we are at least 70+% water. Every function in the body is a result of mineralization and critical to our overall well being.  We are made of minerals and they literally light you up from the inside out which has an effect of vitality, vibrance, glow and personal magnetism. With consistent of the Blue Ocean Minerals use one starts to feel content, nourished, inside and out. The minerals provide a fluid electrolyte so that food extracts and nutrients travel easily between cells and cell systems and organs, support that whole network of nourishment and extract the most from food so we eat less. Via electrolyte activity creates the passage to every cell in the body. It is of course critical to work with your healthcare provider and/or doula to ensure you are obtaining proper nutrients by way of daily eating, pre natal vitamins, calcium and the like.

Other benefits and effects experienced by the Blue Ocean Minerals are as follows;

-       Energy, Endurance and Strength

-       Purification, assisting with detoxification

-       Enzyme production support and electrolyte function enhancing

-       Immunity boosting and contains powerful natural electrolyte levels

-       Reduction of Stress, calming and influencing the brain and nervous system

-       Better sleep

-       Heart health with presence of magnesium and minerals for powerful nourishment

-       Reproduction wellness for reproductive functions and tissues

-       Pregnancy and Children receive benefits from facilitating brain development in pre-natal, or post partum in particular if breast feeing.

-       Daily dosage recommendations are available to Adults, Children and pets

 Balance: In addition to nutritional balance, overall energetic balance is also key. Sublime Energy provides ‘safe’ and non invasive hormonal balancing, stress level reduction, physical relief/alignment, harmonizing and energetic techniques over the entire body, mind and spirit for mummy and baby both pre natal and post partum. Dad is also brought into the mix for harmonization with mum and baby.

A Relaxing Bath is also amazing and helps to keep our energy fields clearer from the inside out in addition to giving you an enhanced glow to your already experienced “pregnancy glow”.

The Recipe is as follows; 1 pound sea salt, 2 pounds Epsom salt, 1 pound baking soda. You can add essential Lavendar oil and/or geranium and rose oil for your senses and ambience. Dimming the lights with a candle is also calming to the senses.

Easier labor: Can help promote progress in early labor and decreases preterm labor. Not to mention those taught kegel muscles which are a result of yoga asana/exercise.

 With Yoga Exercise, main modifications and adjustments on pregnant women and experienced yoga practitioners are as follows. Please refer to an article on Yoga Journal by Tim Miller

Highlights below: 

During pregnancy it is most important to listen closely to your intuition whenever something in the practice doesn’t feel right. But an experienced practitioner can do a pretty normal practice for the first three months.

 During first trimester: some women prefer to step back versus jump back, well ventilated rooms are key also since nausea may be occurring.

 During second trimester: your growing belly will require modifying some poses. Use common sense and avoid putting undue pressure on the abdomen and reduce the amount of heat generated by vinyasa if generating heat in the body makes you uncomfortable at this stage. Avoid twists and if practicing a seated forward bend, spread the legs wider to accommodate belly. Always stick to poses that open your heart versus promote twisting. Reduce abdominal tensing exercises as your abdominals are beginning to stretch out so you don’t want to have issues later on with tears or stretch marks, and modify in planks to be on your knees and maintain form. Be mindful of chatarangas and once your belly starts hitting the floor or you feel you are becoming concerned about it, modify with a bolster or be on your knees and slide through

 During third trimester: will require you to continue to adapt and omit certain poses completely. There are often modifications available, so please ensure you speak with your yoga teacher prior to class or raise your hand with any questions or uncertainty during class.  Again, trust what feels right.

Focus on poses like Prasarita Padottanasana (Intense Spread Leg Stretch), Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose), and Upavistha Konasana (Seated Wide Angle Pose) to open the groins in preparation for delivery. Standing poses like Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangle Pose), and Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose) can help relieve back pain. And a simple inversion such as Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall-Pose) can help to relieve swollen ankles.

 If you also have a handstand practice, again be mindful, stick to your intuition, it isn’t about performing, pregnancy is only temporary, in fact the effects and benefits are the same in principal and less effort with feet elevated like Viparita Karani and if you drop forward to forward fold with bent knees and reducing compression in the spine. I have seen women do handstands, headstands right up until the end, then I have seen others who did drop backs and ended up having abdominal muscles that didn’t heal/regenerate to closure without a line in the center of the belly. The point is to follow your intuition and listen to your body.  Ahimsa.

Aliky in Raja Kapotasana day before due date, June 1st, 2011

 In Summary, throughout pregnancy, as expansion and relaxin starts making its way into the body to make room for baby, ensure you don’t overexert poses, in particular if you are flexible or hyper flexible, be aware of the adequate balance on tension and flexibility used in poses. Taking it easy during this time of change in your body is always safer, than stressing your body. Be mindful and trust your intuition on what your body is telling you and practice ahimsa (non violence) with intention and presence in your breath. Try, or rather, just BE and do not attached to your prior abilities or your visualizations of what a pose should look like or be and remember this is only a temporary adjustment in your body and it is worth it to keep mum and baby healthy, sound and safe.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of yoga on pregnancy outcomes. 

DESIGN AND SETTING: Three hundred thirty five (335) women attending the antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital in Bangalore, India, were enrolled between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy in a prospective, matched, observational study; 169 women in the yoga group and 166 women in the control group. 

METHODS: Women were matched for age, parity, body weight, and Doppler velocimetry scores of umbilical and uterine arteries. Yoga practices, including physical postures, breathing, and meditation were practiced by the yoga group one hour daily, from the date of entry into the study until delivery. The control group walked 30 minutes twice a day (standard obstetric advice) during the study period. Compliance in both groups was ensured by frequent telephone calls and strict maintenance of an activity diary. 

MAIN OUTCOMES: Birth weight and gestational age at delivery were primary outcomes.

RESULTS: The number of babies with birth weight > or = 2500 grams was significantly higher (p < 0.01) in the yoga group. Preterm labor was significantly lower (p < 0.0006) in the yoga group. Complications such as isolated intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (p < 0.003) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) with associated IUGR (p < 0.025) were also significantly lower in the yoga group. There were no significant adverse effects noted in the yoga group.

 CONCLUSIONS: An integrated approach to yoga during pregnancy is safe. It improves birth weight, decreases preterm labor, and decreases IUGR either in isolation or associated with PIH, with no increased complications.

 To study the efficacy of yoga on the outcome of complicated pregnancy, 121 women attending antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital (GSMH) in Bangalore, India, were enrolled between 18-20 weeks of pregnancy in a prospective, matched, observational study. Sixty-eight women were in the yoga group and 53 women in the control group. Women were matched for age, gravida and Doppler velocimetry scores of umbilical and uterine arteries. Yoga practices including physical postures, breathing and meditation were practised by the yoga group, one hour daily, from the date of entry into the study until delivery. The control group walked half an hour twice a day during the study period. Compliance in both the groups was ensured. In babies the birth-weight is significantly higher (P < 0.018) in the Yoga group (2.78 +/- 0.52 kg), compared to the control group (2.55 +/- 0.52 kg). Occurrence of complications of pregnancy (pregnancy-induced hypertension, intrauterine growth retardation, pre-term delivery) shows lower trends in yoga group.

Phys­i­cal activ­ity before and dur­ing preg­nancy and risk of ges­ta­tional dia­betes mel­li­tus: a meta-analysis.Tobia DK, Zhang C, van Dam RM, Bow­ers K, Hu FB. Dia­betes Care. 2010 Sep 27.

The researchers con­cluded that higher lev­els of phys­i­cal activ­ity prior to preg­nancy or in early preg­nancy are asso­ci­ated with a sig­nif­i­cantly lower risk of devel­op­ing GDM. The study search iden­ti­fied 7 pre-pregnancy and 5 early preg­nancy stud­ies, includ­ing 5 prospec­tive cohorts, 2 ret­ro­spec­tive case-controls, and 2 cross-sectional study designs. Pre-pregnancy phys­i­cal activ­ity was assessed in 34,929 total par­tic­i­pants includ­ing 2,813 GDM cases, giv­ing a pooled odds ratio of 0.45 (95% CI: 0.28–0.75) when com­par­ing the high­est vs. low­est cat­e­gories. Exer­cise in early preg­nancy was assessed in 4,401 total par­tic­i­pants includ­ing 361 GDM cases, and was also sig­nif­i­cantly pro­tec­tive (OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.70, 0.83).

 Aer­o­bic exer­cise dur­ing preg­nancy improves health-related qual­ity of life: a ran­domised trial. Mon­toya Ariz­a­baleta AV et al. J Phys­io­ther. 2010;56(4):253–8.

The researchers con­cluded that a super­vised 3-month pro­gram of pri­mar­ily aer­o­bic exer­cise dur­ing preg­nancy improves health-related qual­ity of life. The exper­i­men­tal group had improved their health-related qual­ity of life more than the con­trol group in the phys­i­cal com­po­nent sum­mary of the ques­tion­naire by 6 points, the phys­i­cal func­tion domain by 7 points, the bod­ily pain domain by 7 points and the gen­eral health domain by 5 points.

 The exper­i­men­tal group com­pleted a 3-month super­vised exer­cise pro­gram, com­menc­ing at 16 to 20 weeks of ges­ta­tion. Each ses­sion included walk­ing (10 min), aer­o­bic exer­cise (30 min), stretch­ing (10 min), and relax­ation (10 min). The con­trol group con­tin­ued usual activ­i­ties and per­formed no spe­cific exer­cise.  The pri­mary out­come was health-related qual­ity of life assessed by the Colom­bian ver­sion of the Med­ical Out­come Study Short-Form Health Sur­vey at base­line and imme­di­ately after the 3-month intervention.

 Effects of Yoga:

For more than 30 years, DTP has included exer­cise com­po­nents that are ele­ments of yoga (cen­ter­ing, deep breath­ing, mindfulness/transcendence, iso­met­rics and relax­ation), because these are mea­sur­able, effec­tive com­po­nents within a total fit­ness pack­age.  Car­dio­vas­cu­lar con­di­tion­ing is our cen­ter­piece — along with spe­cific strength work — since these pro­duce most of the ben­e­fits of pre­na­tal fit­ness. Due to the grow­ing pop­u­lar­ity of pre­na­tal yoga at the expense of car­dio­vas­cu­lar con­di­tion­ing and strength train­ing, we have been seek­ing cred­i­ble research evi­dence about yoga’s effect on preg­nancy, birth and recovery.

 Despite the length of time it has been avail­able, there is lit­tle data to estab­lish yoga’s effi­cacy beyond reduc­ing some dis­com­forts and per­haps improv­ing body trust, often through the use of posi­tions, breath­ing skills and mind­ful­ness that are also com­mon child­birth prepa­ra­tion and com­fort mea­sures. The relax­ation ele­ment — achiev­able through any stan­dard alpha brain wave pro­duc­ing method — can help pro­mote pro­mote progress in early labor, as the Relax­ation Response (per Ben­son) is known to help the body release oxy­tocin in early labor (per Odent). How­ever, the only study of the cor­re­la­tion among labor onset, yoga and the length of the first stage was very small. It was per­formed in Thai­land and we can­not find any record of exactly what was per­formed dur­ing the six ses­sions over the course of pregnancy.

 Yoga dur­ing preg­nancy: effects on mater­nal com­fort, labor pain and birth out­comes. Chunthara­pat S, et al. Com­ple­ment Ther Clin Pract. 2008 May;14(2):105–15. Epub 2008 Mar 4.

This study exam­ined the effects of a yoga pro­gram on mater­nal com­fort, labor pain, and birth out­comes. 74-primigravid Thai women were ran­dom­ized. The yoga pro­gram involved six, 1-h ses­sions at pre­scribed weeks of ges­ta­tion. A vari­ety of instru­ments were used to assess mater­nal com­fort, labor pain and birth out­comes. The exper­i­men­tal group was found to have a shorter dura­tion of the first stage of labor. No dif­fer­ences were found, between the groups, regard­ing pethi­dine usage, labor aug­men­ta­tion or new­born Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min.

 We also found a small, non-randomized study that indi­cated chronic prac­tice of yoga pro­duces sim­i­lar affects.

 Effects of a pre­na­tal yoga pro­gramme on the dis­com­forts of preg­nancy and mater­nal child­birth self-efficacy in Tai­wan. Sun YC, et al. Mid­wifery. 2010 Dec;26(6):e31-6. Epub 2009 Feb 25.

This non-randomized study aimed to pro­vide yoga to prim­i­gravi­das in the third trimester of preg­nancy to decrease dis­com­forts asso­ci­ated with preg­nancy and increase child­birth self-efficacy. Low risk, seden­tary prim­i­gravi­das were tar­geted. The pro­gram was 12–14 weeks, with at least three ses­sions per week. Each work­out lasted for 30 min­utes. Pro­gram par­tic­i­pants reported sig­nif­i­cantly fewer preg­nancy dis­com­forts than the con­trol group (38.28 vs 43.26, z=-2.58, p=0.01) at 38–40 weeks of ges­ta­tion and exhib­ited higher out­come and self-efficacy expectan­cies dur­ing the active stage of labour (104.13 vs 83.53, t=3.24, p=0.002; 99.26 vs 77.70, t=3.99, p ≤ 0.001) and the sec­ond stage of labour (113.33 vs 88.42, t=3.33, p=0.002; 102.19 vs 79.40, t=3.71, p ≤ 0.001) com­pared with the con­trol group. Inter­est­ingly, the researchers con­cluded that the pro­vi­sion of book­lets and videos on yoga dur­ing preg­nancy may con­tribute to a reduc­tion in preg­nancy dis­com­forts and improved child­birth self-efficacy.

 Effi­cacy of yoga on preg­nancy out­come. Naren­dran S, et al.  J Altern Com­ple­ment Med. 2005 Apr;11(2):237–44.

The only matched-control study we have seen that reports any ben­e­fi­cial out­comes for yoga par­tic­i­pants vs. con­trols was a small study con­ducted in India. Women par­tic­i­pated daily in super­vised 1-hour ses­sions, while con­trols walked. The daily yoga par­tic­i­pants’ out­comes were improved com­pared with con­trols, includ­ing a reduc­tion in IUGR, in con­junc­tion with infec­tion and PIH. It is impor­tant to keep in mind that these out­comes occurred in a set­ting where under-weight, over-work and infection-related com­pli­ca­tions are common.

 It is inter­est­ing to note that aer­o­bic fit­ness pro­vides the same ben­e­fits as those seen in these stud­ies, while also reduc­ing the need for aug­men­ta­tion or other inter­ven­tions, as well as reduc­ing the risk of fetal distress.

 Dur­ing the sec­ond stage of labor, the tran­si­tion to an ergotropic reflex pro­motes the release of oxy­tocin as the body changes from a parasym­pa­thetic state in the first stage to a sym­pa­thetic state in the sec­ond stage (that is why we call the end of the first stage tran­si­tion). The phys­i­ol­ogy of push­ing requires a very aggres­sive approach. Our in-house data sug­gest that we have found a bal­ance for help­ing women develop the nec­es­sary traits to accom­plish both the pas­sive state required by the first stage and the endurance capac­ity to become aggres­sive dur­ing expul­sion. We mea­sure this in the reduc­tion of our cesarean rate by 1/2 to 1/3 com­pared to the local population.

 There is evi­dence of inverse risk for cesarean as the amount and inten­sity of aer­o­bic con­di­tion­ing increases. These stud­ies are also fairly small, although they are numer­ous and have pro­duced con­sis­tent results con­cern­ing dose-effect. There is grow­ing inter­est within the health care field that sup­port­ing pre­na­tal aer­o­bics could help reduce the cesarean rate. There is no infor­ma­tion from any cred­i­ble sources con­cern­ing the rela­tion­ship of yoga to type of birth. The only avail­able sta­tis­ti­cal infor­ma­tion is the coin­ci­den­tal cor­re­la­tion that as the cesarean rate has risen in the U.S., so has the pop­u­la­tion that par­tic­i­pates in pre­na­tal yoga.

 Yoga remains an illu­sive sub­ject of study. So much depends on who is teach­ing and what they are teach­ing. Unlike aer­o­bics, strength, range of motion, relax­ation response, bal­ance, coor­di­na­tion and train­ing speci­ficity — all of which we can pre­scribe and mea­sure — the pop­u­lar term yoga has lost mean­ing. How much of exactly what is nec­es­sary to pro­duce effects? What are those effects? Are they ben­e­fi­cial? These ques­tions are yet to be answered.

When we think of a love potion, the first thought is rose and pink as the color of heart, of course. Different kinds and different rose colors for different types of spells, like white rose for spiritual love, yellow rose for friendship, red rose for romance and so on.

CACAO

Cacao also contains a wide array of unique properties and minerals, including high levels of sulfur and magnesium. It may increase your focus and alertness and contains nutrients to keep you happy. Chocolate and cacao are often associated with love. All this is due to phenylethylamine contained in the cacao. Anandamide can be produced in the brain when we are feeling great, cacao makes anandamide stick around longer. They also say that Cacao is the sacred food of the Gods! Delicious chocolate can be sourced here including the Aphrodisia Bar from Gnosis Chocolate containing ingredients that indulge your health like Cacao Beans*, Palm Nectar*•, Figs*, Raspberries*, Horny Goat Weed*, Maca Root*, Damiana*, Dong Quai*, Fo-Ti*, Yohimbe, Vanilla Bean, Shilajit,  Blue-Green Algae, Love. *organic  •Heated over 118ºF.

A ROSE PETAL DRINK, aka LOVE POTION or Cocktail for those so inclined, recipe below;

A great cocktail recipe to enjoy at your leisure and more accessible in bars as a love potion is as follows;

2 fl oz / 60ml vodka
3/4 fl oz / 22ml white creme de cacao
3/4 fl oz / 22ml lychee liqueur
Dash of Rose water
Rose petal for garnish

JEWELRY

For those who also want to take LOVE to the next level and into their life overall, try ROSE & PINK: the color of love and heart area. Rose water spray diluted with rubbing alcohol or vodka when in doubt can certainly add a spritz of love to your aura so to speak. Rose quartz crystals are divine also (make sure you clean them with sea salt and water frequently and cover them in silk), Pink Emeralds are also a divine creation and Pink Emeralds links the personal heart with the energy of Divine Love.

INTERNAL VIBRANCE/GLOW

Your energy factor, how low or high is your energy factor ? The secret of beauty, inner and outer beauty is also a vibration and that everyone is already beautiful and we have a responsibility to our health, aura and glow. Everybody has magnetism and sparkle and the minerals helps bring this out to shine. This is accessible to everyone. Minerals are vitally important for your health, we are made of minerals, they are not optional, but an essential part of our health and life. We are made of minerals, minerals are not optional and the minerals literally light you up and your beauty, glow, personal magnetism, aura and radiance is apparent externally more and more. With consistent use one starts to feel content, nourished, inside and out. More information including where to buy are in the article on the Blue Ocean Minerals for Wellness, Beauty and Longeivity.

Enjoy!

We all ressonnate with frequencies,energies, what we put out there we bring back (karma) and there is a law of cause and effect and when in congruent with our true nature, our truth, our POWER. the power is just magnificent and anything is possible. Our ability to “manifest” and/or “create our own destiny” per say is also directly related to the quality of our reactions, actions, energy fields and power here, functions, higher nature and how focussed we are with persistance and consistency. We can ask ourselves high quality questions to discern if we are truly congruent with our path, and no one else has the same path as you. Quite confronting eh?

Ralph Waldo Emerson also states that “Immitation is suicide”. Ponder on this for a while and will blow your mind.

You are your own individual, you have a magnificence as the Grand Organized Divine’s creation. You can create your own destiny as it is actually yours, not anyone elses. Yes YOU and YOURS to delight in!

How can we bake bread with dirty water, if we are all jammed up in emotions, being a victim, in negativity and reacting all the time ?

Love FM, Hate FM or Fear FM, those emotions which are all CHOICES and serve to ALIGN, nudge us back to balance with challenge and support, gain and loss and realize what ressonnates with us, just a gift to keep us onward and upward on the river of the universe which we essentially are not in control of, sorry, but true.

Some key areas we can enhance our own personal power, beauty, longevity, balance our emotions and get on with our lives that we are so blessed to have and live and flourish in such a ‘short time’ relatively speaking.

1. Your POWER:

You are more BEAUTIFUL than you think you are, more POWERFUL than you think you are, SMARTER than you think you are.

What is rejection, fear ? a judgement we put on ourselves based on limiting beliefs, possibly considered as illusions. They are neither good, nor bad, they just are. If we breath into this for a moment, and realize what we have, not what we dont have, what we can honestly be grateful for, and truly breath into that, we gather more self respect, realize more of our potentiality, magnificence.

Folks can never reject your heart aligned with congruence (not projection), Folks can however deny your projections/expectations and worst of all, not live up to them, well they hit the SH** list quickly dont they. We want to watch that too. Accepting what is, is the key here.

Techniques to enhance and bring back your power can be sourced here in some easy to do breath techniques, than can at least for the short term help you address drawing back your power, there are other bodies and outliers involved that really need to be dealt with on an energetic level which we facilitate during the consulting sessions at Sublime Energy.

2. Be CLEAR and SIMPLE (KISS method, keep it short and simple or keep it short and stupid)

In a state of gratitude and open heart is key for purposes of creating what we desire in like and setting intentions congruent with our true nature. This is clearly challenging at times with our society, demands, instant gratification and commitments to juggling work, being available, globally integrated enterprises, work and the like, everyone has a story and it is what it is. We can create ‘baby steps’ to get where we would love to be and be real and reaslistic at the same time. A business plan never executes to precision on paper in reality. So we can relax a bit on the pressure we put on ourselves.

Sometimes the Grand Organized Design brings us what we need to get to the next level, not necessarily what we think we ‘want’. The operative word.

It is key to have the following concepts preferably in order:

A. CLARITY on who you are, what inspires you and this can be derived from understanding your value system and asking high quality questions. Listening to this recording always inspires me to listen to care of Dr John Demartini.

B. VISUALIZATION and being in something as if you already have it, as you actually already do in some form which might not necessarily be visible to you at this point in time, which is ok too. No rush or timeline here. Just BE.

C. ACTIONS and acting with efficiency on our actions energy and where it goes in alignment, baby steps, persistence, tenacity and more. Fake it until you make it. Support and hold your own vision in an open and grateful heart and leverage the magnificence of the grander powers available to you, then no one can necessarily do it for you.

We know where the energy flows, the energy goes!

We know that it isn’t that easy to get a job without, understanding our skill sets, strengths, weaknesses and being honest with ourselves, true to what qualities give us job satisfcation, writing up a resume, being clear on the position we are self marketing to, working on our personal presentation skills. The list goes on and then there is rehearsing of ’winging’ running through an interview and in the interview listening carefully whilst communicating our values in terms of the values of the company/corporation we are interviewing with. Intention at all times is taking the discussion back to ‘getting’ the job, being in the job and/or what will it take to get it and what are key priority actions we can take to align with the skillsets if we dont get it. The list can get exhaustive. However, if we are true to who we are, what we can do to fulfill our inspired purpose and get on with it, visualizing a realistic state/goal is all that is needed in reality. The reactions come from fear on getting the job and/or the limitations we put on ourselves.

Excuse me, who are we to judge and put limitations on ourselves? Are we our creator ? I didn’t think so. We can relax a bit here and let what is be.

WHAT ACTIONS CAN YOU TAKE?

1. Try BREATH, a great technique is bellow breathing where you literally raise your arms up and down rapidly like a chicken breathing in on the way up and exhaling on the way down. Do this at least 14-21 times and then walk next to a complete stranger, you will totally feel sublime and at ease being in anyone’s space one you do this. Quite an interesting experiment!

Energizing the Sacral area is also a great grounding and magnetism igniting exercise (also subtle if in public). Take the index and middle finger of the right or left hand and subtly place it on your sacrum, sacral spinal area and breath in and out rapidly into that area. It will also generate your vitality and creative power.

Other breath techniques are here at our Sublime Energy Channel on YouTube.

Specifically look at the Super Brain Yoga technique, this will enable you to energize the brain, nervous system, sharpen the mind in addition to develop your corresponding prosperity energy center called the Basic energy center in the body. The subtle energies are raised and leveraged with higher faculties to further assist you in your destiny creation process. You also get a great brief workout to tone those glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and core, clearly dependent on how many squats you do and how frequently. YOU can do this anywhere from 1-3+ times a day as long as you are in tune with how you feel enjoying the technique.

2. LOVE, for those looking to attract LOVE into their life, try ROSE & PINK: the color of love and heart area. Rose water spray diluted with rubbing alcohol or vodka when in doubt can certainly add a spritz of love to your aura so to speak. Rose quartz crystals are divine also (make sure you clean them with sea salt and water frequently and cover them in silk), Pink Emeralds are also a divine creation and Pink Emeralds links the personal heart with the energy of Divine Love.

3. A ROSE PETAL DRINK, aka LOVE POTION or Cocktail for those so inclined, recipe below;

2 fl oz / 60ml vodka
3/4 fl oz / 22ml white creme de cacao
3/4 fl oz / 22ml lychee liqueur
Dash of Rose water
Rose petal for garnish

4. IMAGES: Images to meditate on and visualize on in a state of grace and creativity, preferably placed on the North wall in a red in color bounded frame in your home. Be careful with images, like be careful for what you wish for, clearly selecting a picture of a man or female in an alcohol or smoking add, might manifest exactly that in an addictive for, so be balanced and congruent with what you desire.

5. INTERNAL VIBRANCE/GLOW: Your energy factor, how low or high is your energy factor ? The secret of beauty, inner and outer beauty is also a vibration and that everyone is already beautiful and we have a responsibility to our health, aura and glow.

DID YOU KNOW?

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, as the world’s largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 3,000 kilometers (1,600 mi) along the Queensland coast thus making it the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms. This is highly vibrant and full of energy.

WHY DO WE NEED MINERALS?

Minerals are vitally important for your health, we are made of minerals, they are not optional, but an essential part of our health and life. Similarly like clean food and water. Ocean chemistry is the same as our chemistry and we are at least 70+% water. Every function in the body is a result of mineralization.  We are made of them, minerals are not optional and the minerals literally light you up and your beauty, glow, personal magnetism, aura and radiance is apparent externally more and more. With consistent use one starts to feel content, nourished, inside and out.

The secret of beauty is that everyone is already beautiful and we have a responsibility to our health, aura and glow. Everybody has magnetism and sparkle and the minerals helps bring this out to shine. This is accessible to everyone.

Depletion of minerals is a concern on a global basis, as there are less and few minerals in the soil now for growing our food and crops. You must have balanced minerals for your body to function properly, stay hydrated and promote beauty and longevity on several levels. Minerals orchestrate the delicate biochemistry of our bodies. The more stress people experience, the more minerals they use and become depleted. Reclaiming our self is possible via the Ocean derived Blue Ocean Minerals.

The Blue Ocean Minerals have all the minerals, releases the power of all the minerals and trace elements throughout your body everyday activating producing and supporting every process in your body.

“Minerals are absolutely essential to life on this planet, and the importance of minerals and trace elements in the functions of living organisms is without question, they must exist in relative balance in the fluids, cells, organs, and tissues of the body to contribute to human health. Recent research indicates that minerals and trace elements play a significant role against a variety of degenerative diseases and processes. They may also prevent and reduce injury from environmental pollutants and enhance the ability to work and learn.” Quote by Dr Alexander Schauss,       Ph. D, the world’s pre-eminent authority on minerals and nutrition.

Demineralization within the human population has been scientifically confirmed over the last 150 years to be intimately linked with poor health and disease.

Demineralization, in this context, means not only the absence of major dietary minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron and phosphorous; and trace minerals, such as zinc, selenium, manganese, and copper; but also toxins that have arisen from our environment like pesticides, herbicides and volatile organic compounds. Therefore it is imperative in our daily environment that we limit our body to toxic materials and rebuild a properly mineralized body.

Proper mineralization is key to creating a healthy immune system, so minerals can actually detoxify us.

HOW THE OCEAN DERIVED BLUE OCEAN MINERALS WORK

Ocean chemistry is the same as the chemistry in the body, thus maximum and optimal absorption is experienced. Things have to absorb in order to work and the body only recognizes whole synergistic clusters or whole foods. Ocean Derived Blue Ocean Minerals are whole. They are full spectrum, proportioned, absorbable and capacity to fulfill mineral depletion in whole cultures as well as individuals.

They work because of perfect symmetry because of ocean water and body chemistry which the body recognizes them. They classically work in the body, mobilizes every aspect of digestion and over 2000+ enzymes are produced in the liver. It is a matrix in the body and when minerals present, they will activate the production of over 2000+ enzymes. Absolutely essential for upper neural and brain function hence benefits like meditative states, more resilience to stress.

The minerals provide a fluid electrolyte so that food extracts and nutrients travel easily between cells and cell systems and organs, support that whole network of nourishment and extract the most from food so we eat less and via electrolyte activity creates the passage to every cell in the body.

They only work if you take them. They are not optional, the key to success is to saturate our bodies with minerals everyday. Scientific, there are not many mineral rich foods available today, so minerals are essential for them to work. Consistent use is attributable to consistent benefits.

When you take the Blue Ocean Minerals, they literally go directly to your cells, starting the detoxification and purification process, they nourish you from the inside out on several levels.

Enzymes are catalysts that allow proper digestion and absorption of food in addition to the proper metabolic function of our cells. This correlates directly to our vitality.

Thus the Blue Ocean Minerals help you absorb what you require from the nutrition, whilst one starts to crave less, feel more balanced nutritionally and more hydrated which are natural effects of taking the minerals over a period of time.

The Blue Ocean Minerals are naturally digestible, complete and inclusive of ALL the natural minerals and ALL the natural trace elements (totaling 90+).  BlueOM® ocean-derived:  ALL you need,  when you need them.

They are Balanced: All of the minerals + trace elements that you need all in one place working together one with the other in natural balance.     Balance is critical to create harmonious distribution and interactions of minerals in your body.

MINERALS CREATE ACID/ALKALINE BALANCE

The role of minerals helps to create and facilitate a proper balance of alkalinity and acidity within the body. We can carefully assist the body in achieving proper per hydrogen (pH) levels by thoughtfully choosing the foods we consume.

The body needs both acid-forming and alkaline-forming foods to maintain a proper balance.

CREATING BEAUTY THROUGH MINERALIZATION

There are five minerals that lend themselves to creating a more perfect physical appearance: magnesium, silicon, sulfur, zinc, and iron.

Magnesium opens up the 300+ detox pathways in the body. Magnesium sulfate, otherwise known as Epsom salts are also amazing, when soaking in a bath assists open up the body’s detox pathways and enable the body to release toxins right from the bone marrow. Magnesium also helps promote a glow when mixed with baking soda/powder and sea salt (also rich in minerals).

Magnesium has many benefits like calming nerves, relieving PMS symptoms, decrease irritability, aiding in digestion and acting as a laxative, vital in proper heart functioning and more..

Silcon is also a beauty promoting mineral, allows for flexibility and elasticity in our muscles and tissues and the amount of silicon in the collagen of our skin decreases as we age.

Sulfur is also a foundational mineral of all beauty. Adequate intake is key in creating beautiful hair, nails, and skin. It has the ability to create a soft glow in the consumer. Sulfur is helpful for making our nails, hair, and skin shine with radiance.  It is also a powerful detoxifier, which helps relieves pain and inflammation by assisting the detoxification process of our cells.

Zinc is key to help the body maintain its collagen supply which is essential for a healthy skin complexion and the body’s tissue to remain juicy. Zinc helps reduce the outward signs of aging, the prevention of wrinkles and stretch marks and more ..

Iron produces a soft glowing tint of beauty which is visible just beneath the skin. Iron rich blood carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron is an essential protein component for metabolism.

The History of Pink Emeralds
Pink Emeralds have a rather interesting past that includes some mystery, intrigue and at times, nomenclature and historical controversies. Depending on with whom you speak, you will probably get a slightly different version of exactly where these precious gemstones were first discovered and how they were first named. Regardless of the story version, what is clear is it seems that the gemstone was first discovered on the planet in the late 1800’s. Probably the first found crystals being called Vorobievite, Worobieffite and Rosterite, though the majority of references began to use the modern mineral term, Morganite around the early 1900’s when it was first discovered in the United States, in California, in the Pala pegmatites and was thrust into greater public awareness. At this point in time, the mineral find was attributed to geologist George Kunz who re-named it Morganite at around the turn of the century. It was also rediscovered for what may be “the fifth” of the so claimed “first time” discoveries, and this time in Madagascar around 1908.

Pink typically symbolizes love. Crystals and Gems clearly come from the earth, and actually have consciousness. Healers, energy healers all over the world, since ancient times have been using gems and crystals to accelerate the healing process and power based on the properties of the particular gem or crystal in use. Sublime Energy uses various crystals depending on the clients requirements to facilitate energy healing.

Each gem and crystal has metaphysical and esoteric properties. around the Spiritual, Emotional, Physical areas;

Emeralds represent Love, Compassion, healing and abundance. They have a water based element and correspond to the Heart Center/Chakra.

SPIRITUAL: Pink emerald connects one to the frequency of Divine love, compassion and true appreciation for all of one’s experiences and creations. Pink Emeralds links the personal heart with the energy of Divine Love.

EMOTIONAL: A Pink emerald is a wonderful emotional healer. It encourages one to trust the Divine in all things and to surrender one’s personal version of what reality ‘should’ be.

PHYSICAL: A Pink Emerald is a strong heart healer and can assist the physical heart in recovering from all manner of imbalances or diseases.

Regardless of the name and its actual time of discovery, the exact chemical composition of the mineral is clearly known to be Be3Al2Si6O18. Beryllium-Aluminum Silicate or Beryl as it is sometimes called, like almost all gem and mineral varieties, can be found in almost every color of the rainbow. The Chemical composition of beryl is beryllium (14%) aluminum (19%) silicate (67%), usually containing alkali ions, other minerals, water, and gases. The green colored beryl is usually known as Green Emerald yet the very lighter green stones continued to be called Green Beryl. Some of the older mineral dealers to this day refer to the pink variety of beryllium-aluminum silicate as, Pink Beryl. The pink colored beryl is derived from a natural coloring agent within the stone which is due to the trace element Manganese +3.

Of all the beryl crystals, the Pink Emerald’s history is the most obscure yet remains manageable with a small amount of effort and research. Before geology was an exact science, the stone was mistaken for what was later called Kunzite, Pink Sapphire, Pink Tourmaline, Alexandrite, Rose Quartz and other rosé colored crystals. It is also interesting to note, the word brilliance is probably derived from the ancient Greek word for beryl, berullos, which actually means a crystal, which may further back date the pink beauty and other varieties of colored emeralds but no concrete evidence to this effect seem to be currently available yet one can justifiably intuit and suspect such was the case.

Pink Emeralds, as they are now known today in the jewelry and gemstone worlds, come in colors ranging from very light soft pink, to strong pink, to violet, to an actual salmon- orange- pink color. Despite their colorful past, everyone agrees, Pink Emeralds undoubtedly hold one of the very top, undisputed positions in the gem world today and are one of the most beautiful rare gemstones to have ever been discovered anywhere on the planet. They are truly rare, precious jewels, fit for the kings and queens of the modern world, and at a reasonable, affordable price.

I am in a meeting at work  and happen to have my blackberry on silent mode, but ON the table, the red light is flashing on my blackberry and woosh the sound of incoming email, I start getting anxious to view the emails coming in or whether I recevied a text message. I also have at least 10 emails open at any one time … yeah! Lets see how many more items I can get open until I crash my machine … yep, comes to a screaming HALT or lucky of you get a BSOD, Blue Screen of Death or memory dump. Hah! LOVE it! oh, btw, a teleconference is running in the background and you forgot to mute the telephone line, or YOU did Mute. Good one whilst you are swaring at the machine who decided to memory dump on you. God forbid you took a telecon into the bathroom! The amount of times I have heard folks in the bathroom on the cell phone. Goodness gracious me, personal BIO time is preferred, right!

You get the drift, the act of having a mobile device with email, text messaging and often instant messaging enabled actually implies that you ARE available and so on ….

Sound Familiar?

This is quite normal and appropriate for us folks who tend to be mobile whether social or working or simply multi-tasking. Again we are mostly all guilty of this. If you are not, then good one! We love your work and life still goes on right ?!! Some folks dont even use email these days and prefer to be using social networking forums or are leveraging their devices for online purposes, instant messaging and text messaging only.

The act of BEING available, accessible and attainable is also a cause of anxiety amongst many folks both socially and during the working day, which occassionally is questionable when you are at a dinner or meeting and folks are tapping away on their mobile devices beneath the table or ABOVE the table for all to see … Implying that the response to a person via mobile device when supposedly present in a meeting is more important.  How Rude !! and border line abnoxious and we are all at fault, really!

I have even heard stories from parents, who have their kids in the car and they are noisy, no one is quietening down and presto the silencing SMS/Text message. Behold the silence! OR at the dinner table, first family dinner in weeks, kid is back from college after graduating and well, can’t stop SMSing/connecting with friends even during dinner. These folks dont even have a corporate job yet.  Enjoy your time before being absorbed into the real deal of being able to practise your multi-tasking skills in the corporate/working environment and office! You will Impress!

Some tips to alleviate the anxiety and be somewhat more focussed and productive throughout the day!

1. Take a Deep Breath! Pick at least 5-7 priority items for your day ahead and journal them down numbered by priority.  If you can delegate any of them, then do so by placing a to do in your calendar and follow up with that person after establishing the due date. Have more than 5-7 items? Categorize them and/or just get them on paper, you will feel better when you do! Prioritize, Delegation, Resolution !

2. Don’t react to email as the first thing you do in the morning, stay off instant messaging until you feel you have your sanity to start your day. If Urgent, someone would have contacted you on your cell phone or text you. You know the drill! Do YOUR priority email and items aligned with your prioritized list from step 1.

3. Turn off receiving email on your device, just whilst you are starting your day, ok if you insist, switch on email again if you really feel being available via email during a walk to grab a coffee or tea is necessary. Ask yourself the question, Why have email on your desktop and device at the same time? Really? Ask yourself, how is this benefiting me when my energy is watching the flashing light and the computer screen at the same time? or are you asking yourself, which can I react to quicker, again leaking my precious energy …

4. Feeling Social whilst at work? Really, do you want your employees who YOU know are connected to you to see you on Facebook (FB or Facio Libro my pet name) during working hours? Savor in the FUN/Social time you like to have online as a break, as a treat to PLAY. Dont work and Social at the same time. Pick ONE thing and do it to completion.

5. Ok, have your priorities, done your priority emails and calls, text messages etc? now turn on Instant messaing and reach out to your colleages with Friendly Gesture followed by asking for advise or input etc.. to get your to do item rolling. Dont just ping them aimlessly with a “HI” and expect a response. Think etticate and treat and interact with others as you would LOVE to be treated and interacted with. Remember courtesy and THANK YOU, goes a long way to be grateful and gracious during the day. Folks also LOVE to help those who are helpful and appreciate.

6. Reflect back on your priority items and goals set in the AM, are you aligned? If not, reflect back on the priorities, new ideas/insights might have developed to take you to another area. Again, priortize and give yourself permission, all will work out, the sky isn’t falling yet.

I hope you found these tips helpful ! We can be aligned, present, focussed, clear, CONSCIOUS when we work and interact whilst preserving our precious ENERGY and still have plenty left at the end of the day to spend time with our families, friends, Social Networking, FB, LinkedIn, Twitter, cosmic friends, hobbies etc. Enjoy!

“If you shape your life according to nature, you will never be poor, if according to people’s opinions, you will never be rich” –Seneca from Letters from a Stoic.

‎”Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” The Dalai Lama … what we give we receive, what goes around, comes around, we are evolving from the love of power to the power of LOVE and learning what the Dalai Lama has stated !

Wise, go with the flow, seeking external validation, sets one up for external judgement for validation of themselves. Answers are within. One’s ideal state is realized and felt when one is on the divine path, the train track, a direct telephone line to the Supreme Being, Brahma, GOD, Buddha, whomever is the preference and feels a sense of fulfillment of the purpose for which he is born.  All that is required is that man live in accordance with his own nature.

Do unto others what you would love done unto you! ~ The Golden Rule

Become more of yourself with every particle which is you. The Golden Rule is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of accountability, responsibility, respect and intention on interaction with people, nature, earth, universe.

“There should be no distasteful tasks in one’s life. If you just hate to do a thing, that hatred for it develops body-destructive toxins, and you become fatigued very soon. You must love anything you must do. Do it not only cheerfully, but also lovingly and the very best way you know how. That love of the work which you must do anyhow will vitalize your body and keep you from fatigue.” ~ Walter Russell, “The Man who tapped the secrets of the Universe”

Do what you love and love what you do.

Dreaming is for free ~ Paul Kouroupis

“Envy is ignorance. Imitation is suicide.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emmerson”

Envying is simply ignorance of your divine spark and purpose within and imitating is not being true to yourself. Take the pressure off!

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ~Patanjali

“Your heart can never be rejected, your projections and expectations can, however be rejected or denied” ~ Faith Martin
