Gaea's

Archive for the ‘Communication’ Category

I’ve come across many articles recently bemoaning the fact that we so seldom use a desk telephone anymore because our communication consists largely of e-mailing, texting, social media and social networking. I was an early adopter of the mobile phone and loved telling people to “call me on my mobile” and felt so important when I got a call on that mobile. Like many other early adopters, I embraced texting or sms’ing. I reached a point though a few years ago where I hated my mobile. My boss always complained that I had the highest bill in the company and that it surely wasn’t possible to send so many messages. I countered that I was busy working and had no choice but to use my mobile as I travelled a lot for business and that he only had to look at the costs associated with my desk phone to see that I hardly used it so surely the lack of cost on the one offset the cost of the other. Even then though, I recognized that my mobile had taken over both my work and personal life. Read the rest of this entry »

I had to deal with a really unpleasant event during this past week, something that had me querying whether honesty is seen in the same way by everyone. I understand honesty to mean not lying, cheating or taking unfair advantage. So,  I went online and looked at several definitions – truthfulness and sincerity are closely linked to honesty and are sometimes used interchangeably although there are fundamental differences.  According to brainyquote.com, honesty is “The quality or state of being honest; probity; fairness and straightforwardness of conduct, speech, etc.; integrity; sincerity; truthfulness; freedom from fraud or guile.”

Reflecting on the above definition, I can conclude that the other person was dishonest because he was not free of fraud or guile and his conduct was certainly not straightforward. Read the rest of this entry »

We have re-opened our Amazon Store with a personally selected range of books and products.

Is it coincidence, a warning? Is Gaea (Mother Nature) in distress trying to tell us something or merely just case of seeing what you want to see? A few weeks ago the Metro (UK) published the amazing picture of a ‘crying face’. It is revealed in an ice cap located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago in Norway.

 The metro reported  ”A melting glacier has amazingly taken on the form of a face – and some think it shows Mother Nature in tears at the state of our planet.”

 The stunning image shocked onlookers who felt the vivid pattern in the melting glacier looked like teary-eyed nature staring straight at them in a foreboding manner.

The ‘tears’ were created by a waterfall of glacial water falling from one of the face’s ‘eyes’.

I can’t help but feel moved by the above picture and feel that there is a power higher than ourselves really trying to tell us its time to take the world we live in a little more seriously. Often people I meet or consult with ask for signs that are irrefutable. How much more ‘in your face’ do you need the message to be from Mother Nature before we take the abuse of our planet seriously?

I never thought I would love Blogging as much as I do. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience on many different subjects. I find blogging an effective way of sharing this knowledge in addition to expanding my own knowledge as I research many of my blog topics before posting the information. I have presented many short courses on a variety of topics and know that personal interaction is invaluable. For this reason, I would like to ask that if you have a specific question or would like to know more about a topic, please e-mail me. I’d prefer to answer the question in the form of a blog (because someone else may be asking the same question/s), but if you prefer to keep the correspondence private, just include in your e-mail that the communication is confidential. Of course, whatever knowledge I share has to be used in context with your own personal life, health and circumstances.

Have you ever wondered how other �more intelligent/creative/brilliant� people think? How did Einstein think or Aristotle devised his theories, how did Michelangelo visualize his work and how did Beethoven figure out what to compose?

How do some people unlock their potential while others just don�t?

By its very design, the human brain has limitless potential for learning, memory and creativity. The brain needs to be used and exercised in order to make best use of its potential. We each need to explore the power of thought on our own.

Several strategies can be used to assist in exploring your brain power. Read the rest of this entry »

Send healing balls…

BY: Diana Cooper

“The angels can work with your energy to make miracles happen. I love to make angel humming balls, which are very simple and very powerful, and it is a lovely exercise to do with a group. You make a ball of sound and color which you invite the angels to fill with their light.

If you know someone who feels lonely or has had a heartbreak, focus on the color pink and direct the angels of love to fill your ball with their compassion and love. Read the rest of this entry »

I usually research blog topics in order to offer balanced and comprehensive information and am always interested in my readers’ reactions and usage. I see the blog I wrote the other day about “Faking it till you make it” has been read by many people, so I thought I’d offer some more information and a different perspective.

I found the following definition of the phrase over the weekend: The phrase “fake it ’til you make it” expresses a simple wisdom about learning. If you don’t understand the “why,” sometimes you should “just do it,” and you’ll find it makes sense. “Motion precedes emotion” is another variant. (Charles Green)

I think the phrase can be measured against the Law of Attraction. You don’t always have to understand; just believe and allow whatever it is you want to manifest in your life.

There is a discussion to be had about the word “Fake” though because, when viewed in context of the Law of Attraction, it would be considered a negative word and therefore by thinking you’re faking something,  it will be fake.

So what do you do? Substitute the words “Fake it” with “Practice it” . So ”practice it, till you make it” would be the new phrase.

We all know that certain foods rev up your sex life and some may dampen sex drive – �high-carb meals like pasta will make you sleepy. Some foods have been scientifically proven to stimulate our systems, but others seem a little unusual. The� list includes almonds, asparagus, avocadoes, caviar, celery, cheese, chili peppers, chocolates, cinnamon, figs, grapes, lobster, mushrooms, nutmeg, oysters and sardines.

Certain fragrances also enhance our sex life and libido. Certain scents overwhelmingly appeal to men and women when it comes to the romance department (be sure to only use natural fragrances made of pure essential oils, not synthetic fragrances or air freshners. The top romantic scents are black licorice, cinnamon, jasmine, lavender, orange, vanilla, Ylang Ylang.

Remember to always apply common sense when eating foodstuffs or using external products such as any of the� fragrances listed above.
