Exposing yourself to Energy Vampires?

The energy of some folks is just lovely and we feel so good when we are in their presence. However, there are other people whose energy is just plain nasty to be around.

The debilitating condition Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as IBS, now affects over 60 million people in the US, and the medical profession is still unable to define a specific cause.

Around 50% of sufferers report that their symptoms started close to a stressful period in their lives, such as a divorce, moving house, suddenly losing a job, or bereavement.

Many people believe that their IBS is caused by an allergy to specific foods, as eating a meal often triggers the symptoms.
According to the State University of New York in Albany: additionally, research published in the BMJ recently concluded that approaches such as Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and antidepressant drugs could be most helpful.

A clinic in Fuengirola, Spain has taken the IBS treatment a step further by combining both of the therapies, resulting in a much focused approach.
They have spent four years developing their treatment, which have been very successful using a range of stress related conditions including IBS.

The therapy is called ‘Life Architecture TM’, and comprises of a range of components one of which is the intelligent combination of both CBT and Hypnotherapy, with one therapy being used to underpin the other, as and when required, often producing quite outstanding results.

Dr. George Tiller, who remained one of the nation’s few providers of late-term abortions through decades of protests and attacks, has been shot and killed.

The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect has been arrested, 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting.

Dr. Tiller’s who ran a “The Women’s Health Care Service Clinic” is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy.

This is not the first time Dr. Tiller has been the victim of an attempted murder;
In 1993 Dr. Tiller was shot in both arms by a protester.
In 1985 his clinic was bombed.

More recently, Dr.Tiller had asked federal prosecutors to step up investigations of vandalism and other threats against the clinic out of fear that the incidents were increasing and that Dr.Tiller’s safety was in jeopardy. The police knew of no threats connected to this latest shooting.

In early May, Tiller had asked the FBI to investigate vandalism at his clinic, including cut wires to surveillance cameras and damage to the roof that sent rainwater pouring into the building.
The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, it was reported that there were no indication of security at the church on Sunday.

Close family members of Manchester’s two most dangerous gangsters are seeking compensation from the police claiming their human rights have been breached by a crime fighting poster

When both were jailed for life following a six month trial in which nine other members of the gang were jailed. Greater Manchester Police marked their conviction with a billboard campaign across the city. See Billboard.

It showed the killers alongside pictures of how they could look when they are finally released from prison.

The posters thanked the public for coming forward with the evidence that convicted them.

Gangland shootings in Greater Manchester (also known as “Gun - Chester”) dropped by 92 % following the arrest and conviction of this infamous gang.

Civil rights group ‘Liberty’ is backing their legal action against Greater Manchester Police (GMP). It is understood a letter sent to the police by ‘Liberty’ says that the posters infringed the relatives’ privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Last night GMP chief constable Peter Fahy said: “We appreciate that in all we do we have to consider the human rights of all and that a balancing exercise has to be carried out. In this case we were concerned with the ultimate human right - the right to life and this far outweighed any privacy rights.”

I have put together a few wise quotes which I feel will resonate with you. Enjoy.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Thomas Jefferson

There is only one success–to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Christopher Morley

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Earl of Beaconsfield

The man who makes a success of an important venture never waits for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.
C. V. White

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
Charles Caleb Colton

The Changing Terminology of Transvestites; Male to Female; Cross Dressers; M2f; Trannie; Female to Male; F2m…. The list goes on…Do we know enough about this subject?

Click here for a Cross dressing Guide. - Male to female.

Read this about achieving naturally ferm male breasts.

The term transvestism has undergone several changes of meaning since it was first used in the 1910s, and it is still used in a variety of senses.

The term transvestism (Originates from Latin, “across, over” and vestitus, “dressed”) to refer to the sexual interest in cross-dressing. The word is generally used to describe persons who habitually and voluntarily wear clothes of the opposite sex.

World War II had brought an end not only to most European research in the field of sexuality. In both Europe and North America transvestite behavior (both by male and female bodied persons) was until the 1960s seen as an expression of homosexuality or suppressed homosexual impulses.

Is a Real Orgasm by Asphyxiation Suicide or Self Harm?

Is a Real Orgasm by Asphyxiation Suicide or Self Harm?

Asphyxia (from Greek meaning ‘without pulse’, or ‘heartbeat’) is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs.

Source: Wikipedia

A simple explanation is that lack of oxygen can cause lightheadedness, reducing inhibitions and enhancing the sexual experience. Masochistic and castration fantasies are common and other psychological factors also play a role.

In my opinion auto erotic asphyxiation is not suicide or self harm, but an impulse to experience a breathless orgasm. During this dangerous act of asphyxia death is commonly accidental. One researcher estimates there are at least 50 deaths annually nationwide and the victims are mostly young males.

Auto erotic asphyxiation came about (no pun intended) the observation of men when hung in execution they often displayed an erection and sometimes ejaculation occurred.

No doubt you have heard that on June 4, 2009, David Carradine was found dead in his room in central Bangkok, A police official said David was found hanging by a rope in the room’s closet and it was also reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with a shoelace tied around his neck and genitals.

According to ex-wife Marina Anderson there was a dark and intense side to David. Previously in her divorce filing she had claimed that “It was the continuation of abhorrent and deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly.”

This is how I choose to remember David.

John Arthur David Carradine (December 8, 1936 – June 3, 2009) was an American actor best known for his work in the 1970s television series Kung Fu and more recently in the Kill Bill films. He appeared in more than 100 feature films and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award.

God bless and rest in peace.

Unleash the Power of Self Confidence

Unleash the Power of Self Confidence: Suffering with low esteem and lack of self confidence can seriously affect our self worth and value.

7 Tips To Improving self confidence:

Some believe that everything happens for a reason; Action and consequence;

Past hurts and mistakes can become our teachers and we can learn from them, they can become your tools in both self improvement and success.

“Have you seen the film “Patch Adams” – it’s one of my favourite movies.
Hunter “patch” Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts, he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward. His stay in the hospital led him to meeting different kinds of people;
He met a catatonic, a mentally retard, a schizophrenic and so on. Patch found ways of treating his own ailment and finally realized he had to get back on track.
He woke up one morning realizing that after all the failure and pain he had gone through, he still wanted to become a doctor. He carried with him a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn’t only improve himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life.
Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known”

I know what your thinking…Where do I start?

Here are 7 tips:

1. Stop thinking and feeling as if you’re a failure. How can others accept you if YOU cannot accept YOURSELF? Self acceptance is not just about how we look, it’s about the inside. Concentrate on inner beauty.

2. When people feel so down and low about themselves, help them to feel positive, this will in it self help you too.

3. The world is a large room where lessons can be learned through our mistakes. Try not to feel stupid or a failure. Examine your internal dialogue. Make room for self improvement. Take each day as it comes.

4. Take each day one at a time. Patience is a virtue and Self improvement will not happen over night… Success comes from self confidence, self appreciation and self esteem.

5. Set meaningful and achievable goals. Small but relevant changes that will help you to improve a better YOU.

6. Little things can mean a lot. Allowing ourselves 5 minutes of gratitude daily, can have a tremendous affect on our moods. Being appreciative about beautiful things like nature, will also help us to radiate our inner beauty.

7. When you are willing to accept change and go through the process of self improvement, it does not mean that everyone else will. The world is a place full of people with different values and attitudes.

We should always remember that there’s no such thing as ‘over night success’.

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
