An Introduction To Dating

March 14th, 2010

Dating can be defined as a form of courtship undertaken to assess the suitability of two people to become potential partners in an intimate relationship or as spouses. The concept of dating has been there forever in all cultures but in different forms, although dating etiquette has become more relaxed with the changing times. People have changed their social and personal values to a large extent which has impacted every aspect of living. Traditionally every time a man and a woman met , it was expected of the man to pay the bills.The gesture was more chauvinistic than courteous whereas now a days more and more women have become economically independent and the practice of “going Dutch” ( to split he expense) is more acceptable.

With the changing times one has a lot of options to choose their date. There are several networks and professional matchmakers that can arrange for dates for both men and women. Some of the notable ways to date are speed dating, online dating using the internet, mobile dating (latest to join the list) and blind date where people who haven’t met ever before are arranged to meet to help them know each other.

When going for your first date with someone it is advised to refer to some quick tips for a great evening.
Confidence: Try to be as confident as you can. Speak with lan and be yourself. Do not display a shy and nervous demeanor through your actions and behavior

-Expectations: Setting expectations is not a bad idea but you need to be realistic. Every individual has flaws and if your date is not up to your expectation do not walk off. Be nice and polite to them

-Past patterns: People often cling to their past patterns while searching for new partners. Remember comparing two individuals is a big no as you may offend your present date.
Here are some rules that come handy for beginners:

-Always remember who you are. Pretensions are a big turn off for the other person. Your date will appreciate you for being genuine and true.

-Be candid in your communication. Try to know as much as you can about your date, their likes and dislikes, but do not initiate any personal question on the first date.

-Enjoy your time out with your date, play games, go for sightseeing, watch a movie or talk over a drink or two. Ensure you do not get drunk and create a scene.
Once you are in an established relation, try your best to nurture it. Buy little gifts for your partner or spend quality time together to develop a strong bond. Many websites and magazines provide great insights about dating and relationship advice that can be very useful. It is important to give your best to the relationship. Remember arguing never helps, avoid any confrontations on small issues, be flexible to adjust with your partner and their needs. You will realize that these little efforts can do wonders to your love life

A Beginners Guide To How To Astral Project

March 14th, 2010

Each person has the natural ability to astral project. Many people do it and are not even aware of the fact that they do. The key is to consciously astral project, and control where your astral body is going and what it is doing.

Assuming you already know what your astral body is and what the astral plane is, let’s learn a few different techniques that will help you astral project. When you astral project, you experience something extremely personal. Because of this, it is very important that you learn which techniques work best for you.

This first method is easy for most people, and you do it just as you are getting ready to fall asleep. It is a very simple five step technique.

*Relax your body completely. In order to reach this deep level of relaxation, lie down comfortably, and begin with your toes. Tense them for a moment, and then consciously relax every muscle. Work your way through your body all the way up to your head. This may seem unfamiliar or uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it. Alternatively, you may find your body feels very heavy. Either way, it is perfectly normal. Your body just isn’t used to relaxing in this manner.

*The next step is to take slow, deep breaths. You may want to try a meditation technique where you breathe in slowly and deeply, paying attention to the way it feels as the air comes into your lungs and moves through your body. Exhale slowly and completely, again paying attention to how it feels for the air to leave your body. Imagine all the tension leaving your body with each exhale. It is very important not to fall asleep. If you feel yourself drifting, focus on your forehead, right in the center.

*Step three is where you want to pay attention to how your body feels, it should feel very heavy. When you think about the way your body feels, you should think of it as a lump of clay and not very easy to move. It is time now to think of your astral body, as you think of your astral body you are thinking about how light it feels. Your astral body is weightless, it is free. Close your eyes and see your astral self, you are like bubbles or feathers that are floating away in the breeze. The physical body may be heavy but your astral body is so weightless.

*This is the point when many people who prefer this astral projection technique say that they can see the dark room through their closed eyelids. They describe the room as being full of purple light. If you achieve this step, focus on the ceiling light.

*For the fifth step, imagine that you are pulling the ceiling light toward you. As you pull on the light, you will most likely feel like you are floating. It is very important to remain awake. Now that you are aware of the floating sensation, you may be able to look down on your sleeping physical body on the bed.

Wow you just had a successful astral projection session! Now you can begin astral traveling. If this method did not work well for you, try out the next one.

This technique is known as the gazing method. You can do this technique when you are going to bed as well. All you need is something to focus on, this can be a picture in your room, the moon outside the window, a crystal, whatever you prefer.

Once you’ve chosen your object, lie down and get comfortable. Turn your attention to the object. As you keep staring at it, your eyelids should begin to feel heavy. No matter what, keep staring at the object. While your eyes will tend to close eventually, you should still be able to see the object. While you continue to stare, you may feel the urge to sit or stand up. When you do get up, don’t be surprised if you see your physical form peacefully asleep.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t succeed the first few times you try them. Frustration will increase your anxiety levels, which will prevent you from relaxing and being able to project astrally. If you find that neither of these two techniques work for you, don’t worry there are others that you can try.

It is important that you realize that tools and techniques aren’t really holding you back. The main obstacle to successful astral traveling is your own subconscious mind. You may need to give your subconscious mind reassurances that it is okay for your astral body to separate from your physical body for a while. Affirmations are an excellent way to send this message. Once your subconscious mind accepts this message, astral projecting will be a piece of cake!

There are a few short cuts you may try to help you achieve astral projection quickly. If you don’t use them, it may take a long time to create the proper state of mind for it to happen. If you do use them, you may find yourself successfully astral projecting after your very first try.

Firstly hypnosis can really help to get you into a fully relaxed state. A quality guided hypnosis session will also explain the steps of how to astral project as you are experiencing it, rather than you worrying about what you should be doing!

There have also been recent developments in sound technology with something called ‘binaural beats’ where different sound frequencies are played in each ear. This very quickly puts you into the deeply relaxed meditative state required for successful astral projection.

The most important thing to remember is that astral projecting is not as hard as many people think it is. You were born with this natural ability! The tools and methods outlined here are just ways to help you develop this talent to its fullest capacity.
