Cure panic Attacks Through Interoceptive Exposure


By W.H. Davenport Adams

Suffering from panic episodes can be very intense and awfully frightful. Panic fits can come on all of a sudden and lead an individual to begin avoiding activities they enjoy for fear of having an attack. As you'd guess, being able to cure panic fits is a dream that the general public who experience these symptoms have.

Typical symptoms of a panic episode include increased heart rate, woozy spells, sweating and shallow breathing. These symptoms are sometimes accompanied by an overwhelming sense of disaster, or a feeling that you're going to die. These signs regularly lead someone to believe that something is physically inaccurate - it isn't uncommon for people experiencing a panic episode to misinterpret the symptoms for a cardiac arrest.

Panic attacks can be cyclical and, once started, the cycle isn't very easy to stop. Panic fits can be caused when someone experiences a usual panic symptom, which leads to uneasiness. For example, a person exercising may notice their heart rate skyrocketing, which makes them anxious, which can end up in them experiencing more symptoms. This can lead to more stress, which can cause the symptoms to reoccur more often. The cyclical nature means it can be hard to forestall panic episodes, and to stop panic fits once they start.

What is wonderful to grasp is that now we have a proven therapy for stopping this vicious cycle, one that may actually cure panic attacks. It is called Interoceptive Exposure and functions through exposing the anxiety victim to the physical manifestations of a panic episode repeatedly again in a controlled, safe setting. The topic causes these sensations by hyperventilating ( sometimes respiring through a tiny straw ) for a short while. As one purposefully copes with these sensations, she experiences several changes which offer the help needed to prevent panic attacks from bedeviling their daily existence.

When you ceaselessly force yourself to experience the sensations that you fear, the first thing you find is that you'll become less and less anxious about them. Facing your fears in a controlled situation teaches you over time that there is no reason for you to feel your irrational fear, and the cycle of stress which controls you can ultimately disappear.

Over the course of the Interoceptive Exposure therapy, your bouts of agitation should trouble you less frequently and with less power too. You'll discover that the physical feelings you experience due to these nervous attacks aren't life-endangering and can be managed. This treatment has proved to be highly successful as a means to cure panic episodes, and you may end up on the way to controlling and finally eliminating your panic attacks. .

Mystery PUA Revealed


By Brad Jackson

The seduction community has forever been changed as a result of Mystery pick up artist. Thanks to his television show, his classes, website, and resources, Erik von Markovik has been known as the best pick up artist in the world by many people. His attention to detail and unprecedented techniques make him a giant in the industry.

Mystery has a lot of time and research put into his method. However, one thing that he has always leaned upon is magic. Yes...magic. Not the kind of magic you're probably thinking of either. No, he didn't pick a girl out of the bar and saw her in half in front of everyone. He didn't pull any rabbits out of a hat or do anything cheesy like that. We're talking about cool magic tricks that you can do anywhere. Why would Mystery use magic to help pick up women?

First of all you should realize that everyone loves magic. Magic is about creating the illusion of something miraculous. Magic is about the unexpected and creating a sense of wonder in the girls that you're trying to get with. What else could you do that is going to do all of those things in about 15 seconds. You might be a great conversationalist, but there's no way you could create the same kind of intrigue that a short magic trick could by talking.

Mystery pick up artist has been doing magic for a very long time. He got started with a few mentalist routines and worked his way into some more traditional magic tricks. The more creative you are, the better. He tried a lot of different tricks in order to get the attention of the girls that he wanted. This isn't a dog-and-pony show we're talking about. This is down-to-earth, hip, cool magic.

After Mystery pick up artist noticed the unbelievable results that he was getting with magic, he took note. He made records of all of the things that he did that were successful and came up with a routine. It wasn't a set-in-stone routine that he trotted out there for every girl. He learned how to adapt to the individual situations that he was in with each girl and improved as he went. As you get out there and do the same, you can expect a very high close rate with your girls. If you find a girl that doesn't like magic, do you really want to be with her anyway? Find someone else.

While magic is a great tool to have in your arsenal, you should know that it is not a gimmick. It's not the only thing that it takes to be successful with women. You're going to need to be confident and you're going to need some basic social skills. However, these are things that can be taught.

Learning the tricks is a lot easier than you think. This isn't something that you have to devote years of your life to in order to get good. While it does help to practice, you don't have to turn into a professional magician. Mystery pick up artist came from the back of the room to lead the field in picking up girls. He can basically have his pick of the litter from whatever girl he wants. If you want to do the same, study the magic tricks that he uses and learn his methods. You can then start to pick up beautiful girls on your own.

How to Stop Smoking Without Having to Live on a Deserted Island


By Jason Flander

If the option of living on a desert island for a month, or smoking a fake cigarette for the rest of your days do not appeal to you, and you don't want to be a stop-start quitter, you do have other options. And although going cold-turkey is one, you want to give yourself as much of a chance of success as possible. After all its your health and life that's at stake.

So how do you actually quit? You're craving that next cigarette, but you don't want to smoke it. Well great then, that means maybe its time for a little NLP.

NLP stop-smoking programs focus on both the physical and mental aspects of quitting smoking. NLP stands for Neurolinguistic Psychology and its all about empowering brain messages, and patterns. It was created by Bandler and Grinder (a linguist), in the 1970s as a way of overcoming learned limitations.

If you're new to NLP, then start by asking yourself these three questions as they relate to your desire to stop smoking:

What do you want to accomplish? What has stopped you until now to quit smoking?

You have to have a personal desire to quit, and one that's internal. For example, you might say: I want to breathe properly again, now that's a great personal motivator. More powerful than, lets say: I want my partner to stop nagging me about the smell of cigarette smoke on my clothes. The greatest predictor of your success in quitting smoking is self-motivation. It makes something like a 20% difference.

We take actions to fulfill a need, whether its a conscious or a sub-conscious one. Maybe you smoke to relax. Find a healthy alternative that can fulfill the same need. Substitute the feeling of taking a deep breath for the cigarette. Both may have the same effect of relaxing you. One kills, the other doesn't.

What kind of resources do you already have which can help you achieve that? One of your greatest resources is you, and your brain. Your brain cannot distinguish between what you see and what you imagine (visualize). Visualize yourself smoke-free, breathing deeply, filling your lungs with fresh air on the top of a mountain you've just hiked because now you can hike. Add sound, color, a motto to this image, whatever it takes to be a power image for you. Imagine someone takes a photo of you looking and feeling that way, and now you that you have in your pocket. When you want to reach for your cigarettes, reach for the photo instead. This is about rehearsing your decision to not smoke anymore.

Whats my first step?

Start small. Go for the smallest step forward if need be. And then give up a little more every day. Do the ritual, but don't smoke the cigarette. For example, maybe day one, each time you smoke, you smoke half a cigarette instead of the either one. And when you put it out, you pull out the mental image of you on the top of a mountain, breathing in crisp mountain-air and feeling great. Maybe by day five, you're down to 5 puffs. Then, you take out your lighter and light up but don't inhale. You're essentially reversing your smoking ritual. Concentrate the effort on getting through the day and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Fading Acne Scars: Doctors' Best Kept Secrets


By Rebecca Hall

Acne is a big problem for many people, no matter age they are. Many people who were afflicted with acne during their younger years still carry the nasty acne scars into their adult life. On top of that, some people develop severe acne even as adults. Fortunately, no one has to live with that kind of embarrassment, because fading acne scars is definitely possible.

If you go to the doctor, you may be asked to go through expensive treatments or to try drugs and topical creams in order to get rid of acne scars. But what you may not know is that it is possible to fade acne scars fade away with home remedies that are cheap and readily available.

For example, did you know that vitamin E is very effective for fading acne scars? Many stores carry vitamin E oil that can be applied to the face or other acne-scarred areas. Make sure that you buy the thick, brownish-colored oil - that's the real stuff that isn't watered down or mixed with anything else.

To get the most out of vitamin E oil, just wash and exfoliate the scarred areas and then apply the oil there. The first treatment should provide good results, but continue to use the oil and the scars will continue to disappear.

There are also other natural remedies that you can try to achieve similar results on fading acne scars. People have reported using tomatoes, papaya, cocoa butter, and other home remedies to get rid of acne scars. There are certain products and treatments that work better for some people than others, so you may have to experiment a bit and find the remedy that works best for your skin.

If you have very deep acne scars, or dark scars, these home remedies may not be as effective for you. People who have severe scarring from acne will most likely have to undergo some variety of surgical procedures in order to get rid of the acne scars.

The Rise of Conscious Capitalism


By Liz Thompson

For 25 years, Patricia Aburdene has been tracking how change impacts business. As one of the leading social forecasters in the world, she's helped both organizations and individuals optimize the social change happening around us.

She is the co-author of the number one New York Times bestseller, Megatrends 2000. Patricia's newest book, Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism, is a blueprint of the social, economic and spiritual trends transforming free enterprise. As the tagline promises, the book describes seven new trends that will transform how we live, work and invest.

Patricia describes 'conscious capitalism' as a holistic vision of business in which consumers, investors, suppliers, managers, and visionary CEOs all play a role. More than a megatrend, it's also a self-organizing movement, with everyone trying to restore ethics, accountability and soulfulness.

"Leading from the Middle" is a chapter from her latest book, and it reminds us to look past our narrow definition of authority to include 'informal authority', as well as a one that is more spiritual in nature.

According to Patricia, this can be called 'moral authority', and in business it has as much value as traditional types of authority. How does one lead from the middle? A very important way is to live and breathe your gifts when you're at work. The influence you can wield this way is powerful, and that makes this a recognized style of leadership.

Consumers have a tremendous amount of power over the companies we dislike. We can take our values with us when we go shopping. As consumers, are we using our vote at the cash registers by choosing products that mirror our values and rejecting those that don't?

Patricia calls those who want to invest in a socially responsible way values-driven investors. While earning a return is important, they won't do it at the expense of their values. The United States has seen the growth of this movement since the '70s.

At present still a minority culture, Patricia believes that in the next five years conscious capitalism will be mainstream. As we learn the power of prosperity on our spiritual paths and extend this into the marketplace, we'll be aligning our values with our products and investments.

How Do I Get Pregnant? -Discover The 3 Most Effective Strategies For Getting Pregnant Fast.


By Claire Arden

How Do I get pregnant? You may be asking this question right now if you have been trying to conceive for some time and nothing seems to be happening.

If both you and your partner have been certified medically able to have children and that there is nothing wrong with either of you physically then the ideas I share below could increase your chances of conceiving by as much as 50%.

1. Avoid Stress: There is an increasing link between fertility and stress. In a recent study, women exposed to "laughter therapy" actually had greater pregnancy rates than those who did not participate.

It seems the happier and more relaxed you are, the higher the chances of you conceiving. Best of all it does not take much. Just 15 minutes a day watching a comedy program you enjoy or maybe visiting a comedy club.

Another answer to the question " How Do I Get Pregnant?" is for you to try meditation and take relaxation classes. They have been shown to work for many other ailments, infertility is no exception.

2. Say no to any form of lubrication: One big factor that can affect a woman's fertility by as much as 50% is the use of store bought lubricants eg KY jelly and Vaseline. Well, it turns out, they damage the sperm.

There is a natural alternative that will not do any damage to your other half's sperm, and it is egg whites. Yes, you read that right real eggs. Just leave it out for a while, crack open, use the eggwhite in place of lubrication, and believe it or not egg whites are extremely sperm friendly.

3. Are you or your partner on any medication that may affect you fertility? Certain medications are known to affect fertility and you need to be aware of them so that you can look for alternatives that will not affect you or your partners fertility in any way.

Some of these medications include anabolic steroids, Cimetidine used in treating ulcers, Nitrofurantoin (used for UTI), anti-hypertensive drugs (specifically calcium channel blockers), aspirin, Colchicine used in treating gout, antidepressants and many others.

Speak to your health practitioner and ask him to suggest alternatives that will not impair your ability to have children in any way.

So the question you need to ask yourself is Am I on any medication? and if so, how is it likely to affect my fertility?

We have touched briefly on 3 things you could do that will hopefully answer that burning questions- How Do I Get Pregnant? and I wish you plenty of baby dust.

Body Building Tips, Reasons To Avoid Drinking Alcohol When Your Are Trying To Build Muscle


By Ricardo d Argence

Alcohol really affects the muscle growth process and in the next few lines I am going to tell you why.

Too much alcohol will almost definitely have a significant negative impact on your muscle-building results. Alcohol is far more harmful than most people think, and it's very important that you understand how this drug is affecting your progress.

It negatively affects protein synthesis. The proteins can be made by joining amino acids through the process of Protein synthesis. Because drinking too much alcohol slows a this down to twenty percent and because your muscles consist of protein it is clear what the problem with this is.

Alcohol reduces the amount of testosterone in the body and raises the body's estrogen level. Testosterone is the most important muscle-building hormone in your body. However much a person lifts weights, their testosterone levels limit their peak muscle mass. Higher free testosterone levels will help you burn fat and build huge muscles.

Alcohol causes dehydration. The body can quickly become dehydrated because the kidneys have to use so much water to be able to process the alcohol. A minimal amount of dehydration can be critical to body builders due to the fact that water is crucial to the muscle-building process. Our body's muscles are made up of 70% water.

The A and B vitamin groups, as well as calcium, phosphorous, and zinc, are drained rapidly when alcohol is consumed. Vitamins and mineral keep little process in body function.

Alcohol can actually be quite fattening with its 7 empty calories per gram. Drinking can also mess with the Kreb's Cycle, which is critical to burning more fat.

Alcohol consumption affects the quality of your sleep, more so when you consume the alcohol during the hours you normally sleep. Obviously, a good night's sleep each night is crucial to the development of muscle mass. You must also get in enough rest and recovery or your efforts will be thwarted.

While it is vital to enjoy things in life, excesses may result in trouble. For attaining substantial results in muscle-building, one's alcohol consumption must be checked and if need be, brought down moderate levels, and this is imperative if you are serious in your intentions.

Don't be afraid to go out and have a good time once in a while, just make sure to keep your drinking nights infrequent and properly nourish yourself to lessen its effects.

Whitening Your Teeth the Safe Way


By Daniel Murphy

Any teeth whitening procedures are safe as long as it is done correctly. Anything that involves stripping the enamel from your teeth is not safe as this is not how safe teeth whitening is practiced. If you choose to strip your teeth of enamel you will probably notice that they will turn a yellow color instead of looking whiter.

Using a hard tooth toothbrush to bleach your teeth is not recommended either. This is because you can actually cause damage to your gums if you are too vigorous, especially when using a hard bristled toothbrush. There are literally hundreds of tooth whitening products on the market, but with any of them you should use a soft bristled brush for a gentler clean, and one which won't cause any damage to your gums.

When you go looking for a teeth whitening agent you should read the list of ingredients carefully and avoid anything that looks or sounds like an abrasive. Abrasives can cause permanent damage both to your teeth and to your gums and therefore are to be avoided at all costs. Most products use safe chemicals rather than abrasives, and these work well. If you are in any doubt regarding abrasive content, check with the store staff, or the manufacturer.

Whitening your teeth in a safe manner is important. Rather than risk any accidents, you should talk to your dentist for advice; better still ask your dentist to do it for you. He/she will be an expert and it is well worth paying them that little extra, but ending up with beautifully white teeth without any side effects or discoloration. Over the counter teeth whitening gel can also work wonders for many people.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that is becoming more and more popular because it really does improve your smile, and therefore your looks too. Generally speaking, teeth whitening is not an unduly expensive procedure, and if you talk to your dentist, he/she can tell you what they charge, or, if they do not do it themselves, they will be able to recommend somewhere that you can go.

If you think that your dentist's teeth whitening procedure is going to cost too much, you could always visit your nearest pharmacy and see what they have to offer. Safe teeth whitening doesn't have to be expensive and there are many affordable over-the-counter products that you can try out. You may have to try more than one before you find the one that works best for you.

When you are looking for a safe teeth whitening product over-the-counter, make sure that it doesn't contain any abrasives, but rather harmless chemicals. The products that are not good for you will be cheaper, but that is why they are cheaper. They will do you no good, not to mention what it will do to your teeth.

Your teeth are vitally important to you, and, well looked after, they will last you your lifetime. Keep you dental hygiene in tip-top condition by having regular check-ups with your dentist. Whitening your teeth, whilst not essential, can only improve dental hygiene, and it will give you the confidence to have a brilliant, bright smile.

Methods Towards Having A Successful Personal Training


By Lebie Moore

To assist you in the achievement of your goals in fitness, personal trainers have specific training. You will fill out a medical questionnaire during a pre-exercise fitness evaluation in the beginning session with a personal trainer. Goals, previous sporting experience, previous injuries, and current activity levels are established by this questionnaire that also is used as a tool for the assessment of risk. Prior to beginning a fitness program, a doctor's clearance must be obtained when the initial evaluation is failed by a client.

Next you will need to complete a fitness assessment requiring you to do a series of exercises that will assist you in the establishment of your present weaknesses and strengths. An exercise plan will be developed by your trainer utilizing your goals, time frame, and identified strengths and weaknesses. This is accomplished by taking measurements of the body including the folds of the skin, your weight, and how tall you are, and taking your age, flexibility, and posture into account so your progress can be tracked to determine if your exercise program is working.

Your trainer will be attentive to your nutritional level by requesting that you keep a detailed food log while you are participating in the training program. Since trainers have the necessary qualifications to assess your diet and provide advice on how you can make improvements, they will let you know if your diet is lacking and will advise you of healthy alternatives. A trainer will also offer you tips to help you fight diseases and health risks, so that you can lead a healthier and more enriched life.

You should be certain that any fitness trainer you employ is both certified and covered by insurance. The ideal method for doing this is asking them to give you the number and expiration date for their fitness association membership, and if it is current they probably are insured and have the standard First Aid Level 2 certification. If you want to verify their credentials then you can contact the fitness association they are registered with.

Good luck in locating a great personal trainer; I hope you've found this text helpful along the way.

Muscle Building Tips For Novices


By Spike Elpinski

A number of people have been wondering what are the best exercise they should do to increase muscle mass. This has been plaguing the minds of bodybuilders and strength athletes for years. This article aims to determine how you should pick the exercises that suit you well and help you achieve your goal.

A lot of people have been debating over the issue of compound versus isolation exercise. for starters, compound exercises work on various muscle group simultaneously. Among the activities belonging to this category are bench press, dips, and squats.

On the contrary, isolation workouts only focus on fewer or a single muscle group in one exercise. Isolation works best if you want to work on a single muscle group than working various muscles in a single session. Dumbbell flies, pec deck, and leg extensions are just some examples of isolation exercises.

There are lots of those who oppose to such approach. Most of them, mostly body builders, believe that compound exercise is quite effective than isolation exercise in really creating those wanted muscles. They say that compound exercises incorporate the use of several muscle groups, which enables you to take on heavier training loads compared to isolation exercises.

To make thing a bit clearer, the squat demonstrates how compound exercises effectively builds your muscle mass. Squats involve the use of the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus, lower back, abdominals, hips, and abductors. With these muscle groups working together, you can lift heavier loads than normal.

The leg extension, by contrast, only works on the quadriceps. Without a doubt, squatting builds more muscles than leg extensions. However, if you really want to just center your attention on your quadriceps, then an isolation exercise is the best way to do it.

Another important reminder is that free weights offer a better alternative compared to doing machine exercises. While machine exercises are easier to perform, you lose the purpose since the machine is doing half the work for you, such as balancing the weight. Free weights present you to an environment that stimulate your muscles. Bear in mind that machine exercises cannot duplicate the same quality of free weights.

Stop IQ Degradation and Better Your Mental Performance


By Peter Werth

If you want to preserve your mental well-being and capacity, there are things that you should and shouldn't do for a good IQ. You may have personally experienced, or just heard from other people, of the mental boost that they get from smoking. Perhaps, for a short period of time such boost may be true, however in the long run, the effect of the tobacco consumption may be more dangerous to your brain than what you have expected.

An Addiction Research Center conducted a research regarding the long-term effects of alcohol on an alcoholic's brain functioning. As expected, alcohol was found to be associated with mental problems and lower IQ scores. And as an addition to their findings, they also found out that long-term smoking has an effect on decreased brain power.

The results showed that alcohol has more severe effects on the thinking skills of alcoholic men who have been smoking for quite some time already. It has an adverse effect on memory, problem-solving skills and even the IQ of these men.

Among these alcoholic subjects, cigarette smoking was seen to be related to reduced mental functioning. However, even though the cause and effect relationship between smoking and the decreased mental performance was not clearly established, there are still some things which point out to the fact that cigarettes are the cause to such effect. In order to prove this point, more studies will have to be conducted.

There are still other things which may cause the reduction of your brain power, other than alcohol and smoking tobacco.

Other Short-term Causes for Poor Thinking Performance

Scientists are great because they are always studying things. According to some more studies, foods which include artificial food coloring and sweeteners may be bad for the brain, more especially if they are consumed in large quantities. Examples of these kinds of foods are colas, white bread and hydrogenated oils.

Artificially sweetened foods are unhealthy as well because they can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. These fluctuations cause "fogging" of the brain and can lead to much more serious problems such as diabetes. The hydrogenated oils may cause the clogging of the arteries, and thus may result to heart diseases. Needless to say, just say NO.

Aside from these foods, other intangible things are believed to cause decrease of brain power. Personal problems such as egotism may be a factor. Because of egotism, a person may limit his ideas into just one view, which is his own. Because of egotism, he becomes settled with just his original thought and he would think that since his thoughts are more important than others then there is no more need to look at the ideas that come from others.

The effects of the bad eating habits as well as the personal problems may just be temporary. Stop eating all those junk foods and start eating healthy; and likewise stop being so egocentric, then your brain functioning may just return to its normal performance. On the other hand, the effects of alcohol and smoking tobacco are usually going to stick around for the long term... affecting your IQ in a bad way.

You should keep healthy all the time by doing things beneficial to your mental health. Whether or not the efficiency of your brain is affected temporarily or permanently, the truth is that it is still harmed for a certain period of time. You should know better, your brain performance should always be at its prime.

A good tool that can prove very beneficial when referred back to is a journal. In your journal you will need to record all your thoughts and feelings. Even those that seem inconsequential to you at the time. You also need to write down any emotions that you may feel, as it is generally believed that emotions are a strong link connecting us to our past life or lives. Do not forget that even something as unimportant as an irrational fear of cracks in a sidewalk can prove very useful and need to be made a note of in your journal.

A good way to start this journal is to write down things like your likes and dislikes, phobias, food, being drawn to certain time periods, architecture, food, cultures, and climates. Also add things like times of Dj Vu, talents and occupations, the kind of animals and your personality and maybe even birthmarks.

This involves a visit to a professional past life regression therapist. They are trained to guide you through the regression and then with your help interpret what information that came through. This technique involves the professional doing hypnosis. Sometimes this can be done by self-hypnosis.

Many people choose meditation as their preferred method.

Because this technique means that there is no professional in attendance, many people find it difficult to trust what they get during the regression. However, when it comes to meditation, you have to be able to trust not only your feelings but your instincts as well.

Although many beginners feel that instead of meditating they are only daydreaming, important information can and does come through, so it is necessary to record what you experience during the meditation in your journal.

Things to help you in your meditation maybe things like music, a visual focus point or burning a pleasant smelling incense or a combination of them. Prerecorded guided meditation tapes maybe what you need or a soothing sound like water will be of help. If that isn't helping this may.

Binaural Beats

With Binaural Beats you listen to different frequencies in each ear that help you to attain the same meditative state that Zen monks can reach. You should choose somewhere quiet and free from any kind of distractions and disturbances. Somewhere that enables you to sit or lie down comfortably.

It is important that you are relaxed and that you are not distracted by thoughts about everyday things. Simply acknowledge the thought so that it does not keep recurring, and so that you do not forget it, then put it out of your mind. Remember that meditation does not just happen, it takes practice before you will reach a true meditative state.

Among other things this method can also assist you with regards to issues you are faced with in your present life, including relationship issues. You might, like others have, discover that you have shared lives with people in past lives that you know in your present life. A bit of research will confirm, or not, the information you received.

Reincarnation is present in every religion from Christianity to the Hindus. Some of these religions so strongly believe in reincarnation that they believe that any thing you do in one life for either good or bad will be paid for in the next life known as Karma. Then again knowing what happened to you in the past life may help you make a positive change in this one.

Although it may be difficult for you it is important that you keep an open mind to enable you to accept whatever information about your past life that comes through. This information can be very beneficial to your present life, because you are able to learn from the past mistakes that you made and as a result enjoy a fuller, richer current life.

Many experts are of the opinion that past life regression can be very beneficial for the present life, even when the person concerned does not or cannot accept the information they receive. The subconscious can be unblocked and this can help, especially if it has negatively impacted the body. However, there are other benefits that come from past life regression.

Helping in deal with things from the past that will help in making better decisions. If the regression brings out something you have done in the past that was less than kind, then suffer negative results from it then you know that you can't do that in this life.

But past life regression can also help you to understand why you are the only artistic one in your family, especially once you have discovered that you were an artist in a previous life. You will be able to identify the talents you had in your past life and apply them to your current life, thereby enriching it all the more.

In short, because regression can give you the opportunity to understand yourself better and so make better choices, it is a process that is worth more investigation.

Couples Married And Bored?


By Antonio Abreu

Are you feeling the beginnings of an unhappy marriage? Your spouse can bore you for many reasons.This can be due to not doing things together, having different interests and ideas about things, intolerance and not willing to compromise with each other. A successful marriage is based on the idea the two couples face the same direction in life.

If this is not at all possible, then you may come to the conclusion that somewhere along the road, something will happen in the marriage to cause it to subside and fail. Marriages fail every day in the United States and to become one of those very common statistics can be quite scary for anyone to comprehend or understand.

A satisfying result of staying happily married is to see the kids around you all grown up and still love the one that you first fell in love with all of those years prior. This can happen if you put your mind on getting it done safely and patiently.

Most couples don't know how to fix a troubled marriage. One of the concepts that will be understood here is how to actually get the one you love to fall back in love with you the way they used to and provide the necessary techniques and strategies to get the job done right the first time without making it worse in the process.

Communication and cooperation is key when attempting to restore the marriage the way it used to be. Marriages change over the years and I can assure you that it will continue to change and evolve as times goes by with it. This is what makes marriages more excited and keeps you on your toes. The result of a successful marriage is always measured with the couples that are involved and working at this together.

You can see how marriages that involve fixing need at least one person in it to make this happen. One person is better that nothing at all and the understanding of this will permit your spouse that he or she truly understands that you care for them and are willing to see this work the best and most effective way possible.

A Guide to Getting Eyelid Surgery


By Robert Jameson

Our eyes are referred to as the windows of the soul and we often feel ill at ease when we meet someone who will not meet us eye to eye. Many cosmetic procedures are now carried out on the eyes and eyelids especially amongst older people as the eyes continue to be an attractive part of a persons face. An individual without dark areas under their eyes and laughter lines will look much more appealing.

It's true that most men and women get to a point when they consider cosmetic eyelid surgery. Candidates for cosmetic eyelid surgery want their appearance to better communicate their feelings of youth, energy, and vitality.

Re-shaping the eyelid is a cosmetic procedure called Blepharoplasty. Looking youthful and energetic is something that comes from eye and eyelid surgery.

A droopy eyelid is not necessarily a sign of age but can age you considerably, so carrying out a surgical procedure which tightens the muscle controlling the eyelid can correct this condition. Where the eyebrow needs attention, a brow lift pulls on the loose shin and helps to remove the bags and wrinkles found below the eye making the patient look younger and healthier.

For some, eyelid surgery can provide improved vision and in a study of 51-64 year olds it was the number one procedure to be considered. Most often a droopy eyelid is due to laxity in upper eyelid skin. The eyelid skin is very thin and as a consequence it is rare for a scar to form here. Upper eyelid surgery does have one downside though and that is the bruising and swelling that normally starts showing very soon after the procedure. Surgical procedures on eyelids are normally straightforward but additional work of removing excess fat and muscle layer is carried out if the eyelid is puffy and heavy.

To avoid eye or eyelid surgery, some consumers are showing a preference to collagen and other injected substances. Micro pigmentation or permanent makeup is helping some people increase the definition of the eyes and drooping eyelids where surgery has unfortunately not worked. This can also help visually correct the eye shape when they less are than ideal so the client can avoid additional expensive corrective surgery.

Other points should be considered before any eye surgery takes place, for instance does the patient heal quickly, are they prone to bad bruising and what level of care their eyelids will receive after the operation.

The Crucial Elements of Guitar Lessons for Beginners


By Payo W Perry

Students just starting out on guitar need to exercise caution in the early stages. It's always a period when bad habits can easily form and once established they can be stubborn things to change. In this article we'll talk about what makes good quality guitar lessons for beginners.

First on your list should be to try and find a good local teacher, failing that your next best option is going to be online. There are 1000's of guitar websites but a lot of them fall far short in the quality of their lessons so choose wisely.

It's best to try out some of their sample lessons. I'll always think it's a bad sign if they don't have any on offer as it shows a lack of confidence on their part. You need to check that their teaching style is at a speed you can learn from and that you understand the content covered in the lesson very clearly.

Beginner guitar lessons must be taught in a specialized way and not every tutor can do it equally well. Look out for lessons where nothing is left to doubt; at the end of each lesson you should be 100 percent clear on what to do and how to do it. It's the only way you'll really learn effectively, especially when the lessons are online.

Go to the lessons section and try to see if what's known as an even curve is in place. This means that there's a natural flow in and out of the lessons as though they were connected. Without this you run the risk of being frustrated as guitar lessons for beginners are most effective when building upon the success of the last lesson.

Don't neglect your own responsibility as the student either. Great guitar lessons aren't in themselves enough to guarantee your success! Use the pause button a lot to review the material as it goes along and don't rush, try to learn each step in a secure way before building upon it.

Let's take a look now at what's really important for guitar lessons for beginners.

Firstly, get the best quality lessons you can find. Make sure the speed of delivery is not too fast for you and that you understand the lessons content very clearly. If you don't, find other lessons. Lastly remember that the biggest responsibility for success lies with you, good quality guitar lessons for beginners can help you but ultimately it's your own approach and practice which is the ultimate decider.

Buy Muira Puama Herb: Detoxify Your Body


By Eric Dawson

Many of us, perhaps most, will admit to feeling anxious on a regular basis and often even depressed, perhaps due to pressures of work, home life, or any of a multitude of other causes. However most of us are not clinically depressed or anxious, to the point where our lives and health are affected detrimentally.

There are numerous prescription medications available to treat anxiety panic attack. Four of the most popular"families" of medications used in anxiety and treatments are Benzodiazepine, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), Tricyclic Antidepressants and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors [MAOI].

Certainly where someone is feeling so anxious or depressed that the medical profession would categorize them as clinically depressed or anxious immediate help should be sought from a professional. However where someone is suffering from a milder form of anxiety then there may be alternatives to the common anti-depressant drugs that often appear to make things worse for less serious cases.

However, before you take either of these herbs or any other supplements, be sure to discuss this with your doctor to make sure they would not cause problems with any other medications you may be taking. The first of these is St. John's Wort. Anxiety sufferers who have used this Herb have reported that in low doses it actually works within days, but that high doses can cause restlessness.

Kava - Kava is member of the pepper family and is found in the South Pacific. It is popular in Europe, with four European countries approving Kava preparations for the treatment of depression. Kava seems to be most useful in cases of depression with severe anxiety. There are a few side effects linked to Kava and if you are considering this herb you should do some additional research.

There are other herbal supplements that have helped some panic attack sufferers. The first of these is called 5-HTP. It is said to reduce anxiety by increasing levels of serotonin. One study has shown that 5-HTP can be helpful in panic attacks and is a good anxiety treatment for people who suffer anxiety and depression. along with restlessness or racing thoughts.

Depression is a complicated condition that is thought to be a product of the way serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine interact with chemicals in the brain. Due to this complex interaction it is not likely that all natural herbs for depression will work for everyone. Nevertheless, there seems to be enough compelling evidence to support at least some of the enthusiasm surrounding herbs for depression.

Fish oils have helped some people stabilize their moods but it does take several days of high doses to have an effect. The amino acid GABA is a neurotransmitter supplement that has helped some people although it has not been tested exhaustively. Can you imagine how much better your life would be and how much happier you would be if you could just stop those anxiety attacks forever? Visit my web site today and I'll show you a half dozen ways to free yourself from the pain and suffering of anxiety attacks FREE! Click here NOW or you'll miss out on this critical information.

Shiitake as a Medicinal Mushroom


By Dr. Markho Rafael

Tell Americans that a dish contains "mushrooms" and their minds automatically jump to button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), which have been grown commercially in the West since the 1600's. In contrast, individuals from Far East Asia are far more likely to jump to Shiitake as the most logical ingredient. Shiitake, which has only recently become a common household name in the West, has a long history of commercial cultivation in Asia.

Originating in China, wild Shiitake is also commonly known as Black Mushroom and Chinese Mushroom. The name Shiitake comes from the Chinese Shii Tree, which is the most common host tree. But it can also grow on beeches and oaks. The cultivation of Shiitake in China and Japan goes back at least 1000 years.

Increasingly recognized in the West as a culinary mushroom, few westerners are yet aware of the medical applications of Shiitake. In Asia, it has a long tradition as a medicinal mushroom going back to the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368-1644) and the Chinese physician Wu Juei, who recommended it for conditions of the liver, respiratory and circulatory systems. Shiitake is also the most commonly studied mushroom in modern medical research, with special focus on its anti-tumor [94] and anti-viral properties. [93]

When it comes to medicinal use of Shiitake, the preferred part to use is the mycelium (the "roots") not the fruit body ("mushroom"). The mycelium contains a higher concentration of medicinal compounds, some of which may not be found at all in the fruit body.

The most common extract is known as LEM, a protein extract from Lentinula Edodes Mycelia. (Lentinula edodes is Latin for Shiitake.) LEM has been shown to have powerful immune boosting properties, [95, 96, 97] particularly anti-bacterial. [98, 99] LEM has also been found to exhibit anti-cancer properties. [100] One study found it to kill melanoma cells while causing no harm to healthy cells. [101]

A famous polysaccharide isolated from Shiitake is known as Lentinan, deriving its name from Lentinula. Lentinan has been shown to stimulate the natural cancer fighting mechanisms of the human immune system [102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110] and is used in Asia as a cancer-drug, administered intravenously.

Arabinoxylanes of Shiitake extract derived from rice cultivated mycelium have been shown to have powerful anti-viral properties. [111, 112, 113]

In particular, type 1 herpes simplex virus [114] and HIV [115, 116, 117] have been shown to respond to Shiitake extracts in clinical trials, although one study found that Lentinan by itself - isolated from the other active compounds of Shiitake - had no noticeable effect on HIV replication. [25]

Other studies worth a brief mention have reported positive findings in the use of Shiitake extract to prevent septic shock, [120] and to treat Candida [118] and chronic fatigue syndrome. [119]

Foremost American medicinal mushroom expert Paul Stamets, in his book Mycelium Running, lists several additional areas where research has indicated that Shiitake may be useful: Cholesterol; blood sugar, blood pressure; sexual dysfunction; kidney health; stress; liver support; prostate cancer; liver cancer; breast cancer. [134]

Note: The statements on this page have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This article is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Never use any herb (or mushroom) except as advised by a licensed medical practitioner.

C Programming Career Courses Simplified


By Jason Kendall

There are lots of study choices available for trainees wanting to find a job in the computer industry. For assistance in selecting the right one for you, look for a company with advisors who can help you to work out an ideal career for your character, and give you an understanding of the actual job role, in order for you to know you've found the right one. There's a wide range of courses to choose from. Often people need User Skills from Microsoft, others want career skills such as courses on Web Design, Databases, Programming or Networking - and these are all possible. However, with so many to choose from, don't just guess. We recommend you discuss your needs with an advisor who has experience of the IT economy, and will guide you to where you want to go.

Today, there are several easy-to-use and accessibly priced options to be had that furnish you with a great learning experience.

If you're like many of the students we talk to then you're quite practically minded - the 'hands-on' type. Typically, the unfortunate chore of reading reference guides is something you'll force on yourself if you absolutely have to, but you'd hate it. So look for on-screen interactive learning packages if you'd really rather not use books. Research has constantly demonstrated that getting into our studies physically, will more likely produce memories that are deeper and longer-lasting.

Find a course where you'll receive a selection of CD and DVD based materials - you'll learn by watching video tutorials and demonstrations, and then have the opportunity to hone your abilities through virtual lab's. Each company you're contemplating should be able to show you a few examples of the materials provided for study. You should hope for instructor-led videos and many interactive sections.

You should avoid purely online training. Physical CD or DVD ROM materials are preferable where offered, enabling them to be used at your convenience - you don't want to be reliant on your broadband being 'up' 100 percent of the time.

We can see an excess of work available in Information Technology. Arriving at the correct choice for yourself is a mammoth decision. What chances do most of us have of understanding the day-to-day realities of any IT job when it's an alien environment to us? Often we don't know someone who is in that area at all. To attack this, a discussion is necessary, covering a number of different aspects:

* The kind of individual you think yourself to be - which things you enjoy, plus of course - what makes you unhappy.

* What length of time can you allocate for retraining?

* Where do you stand on salary vs the travel required?

* Some students don't fully understand the work involved to gain all the necessary accreditation.

* The time and energy you're prepared to spend on obtaining your certification.

For most of us, considering so much data will require meeting with an advisor who knows what they're talking about. And we're not only talking about the accreditations - you also need to understand the commercial requirements and expectations of industry too.

Does job security truly exist anywhere now? In the UK for example, with businesses changing their mind on a whim, it certainly appears not. We can however hit upon security at market-level, by searching for areas of high demand, coupled with a lack of qualified workers.

The most recent British e-Skills study highlighted that 26 percent of IT jobs haven't been filled mainly due to a huge deficit of trained staff. Or, to put it differently, this reveals that the UK can only find 3 certified professionals for each 4 positions existing at the moment. Properly taught and commercially grounded new staff are accordingly at a total premium, and it seems it will continue to be so for a long time. With the market growing at the speed it is, it's unlikely there's any better sector worth investigating for a new career.

Working on progressive developments in new technology is as thrilling as it comes. Your actions are instrumental in impacting progress around the world. There are people who believe that the technological advancement we've been going through is cooling down. Nothing could be further from the truth. Massive changes are on the horizon, and most especially the internet will become an increasingly dominant part of our lives.

Always remember that the average salary in the world of IT in the United Kingdom is significantly higher than in other market sectors, so in general you'll more than likely earn significantly more with professional IT knowledge, than you could reasonably hope to achieve elsewhere. The need for professionally qualified and skilled IT workers is a fact of life for a good while yet, because of the constant development in IT dependency in commerce and the very large shortage that we still have.

It's so important to understand this key point: It's essential to obtain proper 24x7 round-the-clock instructor and mentor support. You'll definitely experience problems if you don't follow this rule rigidly. You'll be waiting ages for an answer with email based support, and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre who will take the information and email an instructor - who will attempt to call you within 24-48 hrs, at a time suitable for them. This isn't a lot of good if you're stuck with a particular problem and can only study at specific times.

The very best training providers have many support offices active in different time-zones. Online access provides the interactive interface to join them all seamlessly, irrespective of the time you login, there is always help at hand, without any contact issues or hassle. Don't accept second best when you're looking for the right support service. The vast majority of would-be IT professionals that fall by the wayside, would have had a different experience if they'd got the right support package in the first place.

Weight Loss Secrets: Get Your Head In The Game


By Jerry Horn

Weight loss is never easy, especially if you have a lot to lose or medical issues currently put limitations on physical activities. Instead of giving up or assuming it will never happen for you, why not take baby steps until you get where you really want to be?

Setting goals are another important part as well. When you have goals their is something you have your sight on. Not only that, but there is more of a reason to stay committed as well.

There are many weight loss diets, but not all are suitable for losing weight in a healthy manner. Starvation and lack of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in the diet, often lead to a state of discomfort, fatigue. Moreover, after a few days of diet, most people will quit. What can be done to lose weight quickly and healthy? Here are some important principles that should be followed in any diet!

Losing weight involves the reduction and burning of the calories that you eat. Most opt to search for a miracle diet that does not involve either, but in reality these two components are essential. Another important part, involves having support.

Don't start a miracle diet when you have to make intellectual or physical efforts more than usual. If you make a greater effort at school or work, then it's not the right time to start a weight loss diet. It will cause limpness and lack of energy, especially in the first days, mainly because of accumulated fatigue; also, unwanted complications may occur. The most appropriate would be to start a weight loss diet in the holiday.

Many often look for ways to lose weight quickly, rather than ways that will provide long term effects. Crash diets often are the type that only provide a temporary solution to weight loss. Additionally, they can be dangerous to your health.

Any diet that deprives you of nutrient that you need, are not worth the try. Diets that concentrate on grapefruit or cabbage soup, do not provide your body with the nutrients that is need. Fasting also is a bad way to lose weight, since you are likely to back on the weight that you lose, plus more.

That said, there is no miracle diet that is going to magically take all the pounds from your body and dump them at the curb forever. What leads to fast weight loss? Only a consistent lifestyle change can do that.

In fact, the miracle diet everyone seems to be looking for is actually right in front of you right now. While you do need some sort of structured plan that allows you to create new behaviors and new eating patterns, it doesn't have to be a complicated process.

If you want to lose the weight and waiting months and years for that body you will be comfortable with to emerge, you have to have a very focused plan and a lot of dedication.

Some people like going by point systems, while other like tracking calories. In some cases people do not like the idea of having to keep track of all of the calories that they eat. This is the reason that other options are available such as points. Which way you choose is up to you, but look for the best program which will work for you.

Common Mistakes For Beginning Muscle Builders, How to Avoid Them


By Ricardo d Argence

Once you start your exercise program, many of us want to take shortcuts. I have been guilty of many of this myself, so I'm telling you from experience that it is better to take a little longer in order to do the job right the first time. Let me give you some steps so the you avoid some common mistakes that all of us can easily be guilty of, and what you need to do differently.

The use of a personal trainer can not be underestimated, and one thing you will never find them doing is starting your training program without a plan. So, even if you aren't using a trainer, use what is possibly the most important part of your training program. Set up a program that will progressively add to your workout load so that you continue to see results, and take your weight and inch measurements so that when you hit a slump, you can look back on how far you have come.

While making your workout more difficult, you must incorporate different elements. Keep challenging your muscles with harder workouts each time and you'll see better results. It is at this point that you will display toned muscles as a result.

The majority of people have tried to cut down on calories, based on the many different sales pitches for various diets. Remember, it is absolutely necessary to eat in order to maintain a healthy metabolism. To maintain peak performance, you must keep adequate fuel in your body's tank. You must eat when you work out and healthy foods will not only make you muscular but also will fuel the energy you use during these workouts.

There can never be any justified reason for skipping a workout except when one is unwell. Attaining a desired body type require you to fight off the urge to let this mindset affect you or else it will cause you to miss out on beneficial small steps. That time period must become a priority, even if you breakout of your routine for reasons such as vacation, you must schedule your exercise plan in advance.

If you have thought about steroids and the magic pills well, if it seems to be too good to be true it probably is. Even if you see results from these things, you don't know the health risks associated with them. Diet pills are not supervised by the Food and Drug Administration, and several types have resulted in heart problems. The best route is a healthy diet and consistent exercise plan.

Lack of restful sleep will negatively affect your entire body. It is harmful to your mental acuity, your immunity, as well as the safety you require in your workouts. Even if its necessary to stop an activity that you like, you still need your eight hours of sleep. It will boost your productivity during your waking hours.

So, these should be common sense things, right? Even though you probably know all of this already, sometimes it doesn't hurt to get reminded. Good luck in your workouts, and just remember to stick to your plan.

Next, we have one of the key causes of health problems as we age poor circulation. In terms of sexual desire and drive you need to pump blood strongly to the extremities of the genitals. Finally, as you get older your energy levels decline and fatigue and stress can simply make you to tired for sex.

All the above can be tackled with herbal remedies which have been used for thousands of years and today herbal sex pills are blended with potent mixes of natural herbs to give your libido and general wellness a lift.

For testosterone you can use the following herbs, Epimedium Grandiflorum or Horny Goat Weed, Mucuna Pruriens and Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longfolia) which have all been proven in medical testing to increase levels of testosterone within the body. For nitric oxide production again Horny Goat Weed and another Chinese herb Cnidium are proven to increase it. Cnidium is also a blood tonic, nourishing the blood and helping overall circulation. It you add the well known herbs of Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba, you have a great blood tonic combination. The combination will pump blood and oxygen throughout the body and help keep the blood vessels healthy at the time.

It's a problem in the head. In order to solve this, some people suggest hypnosis as it hands performance back to the unconscious mind, reduces anxiety during sexual performance and reminds the head of old effective methods of getting and maintaining an erection. By the end of the day, whether to pop herbal sex pills or not, depends on the cause of impotence itself. Users are advised to read up on the product itself before consuming it. Not all herbal pills are bad, just like everything in life, there's always two sides to it, one will have to pick wisely.

How to Grow 2-Inches Taller in 2-Minutes


By C. Ludlow

Do you think that Im exaggerating when I say that I can make you two inches taller in two minutes?

Im going to prove to you right now, that I can help you do this right now. First, go and stand next to a full length mirror. Turn sideways. Now look at yourself. If youre like 95% of Americans youll notice that your head is jutting forward.

Modern have dictates that you will spend most of you time sitting. Unlike our ancestors who spent most of their time doing physical labor, we spend most of our time on our rears. In our cars. At the office. All day long we're sitting.

Sitting, unfortunately, causes muscle imbalances to occur. When you sit with poor posture for too long the muscles on the front of your body become tight. The hip flexors and muscles of the neck, in particular.

Now, back to your mirror exercise. When you look in the mirror sideways you probably noticed that your torso curves forward slightly, as do your shoulders.

All of this sitting around makes people appear as if they have shrunk. I was talking with a client of mine some time ago and he mentioned that after visiting his doctor he was told that he was an inch shorter than he was 10-years ago. Why is this? Well, his posture deteriorated. He didn't shrink.

So, now, what is the solution to all of this sitting? How can you grow taller? Think "shoulders, back, and down."

"S.B.D." or shoulders, back and down is a little ditty that you can say to yourself to get your posture to improve. When you say it, do it. I want you to push your shoulders back and down into your back pockets. When you do this your chest elevates and you should immediately feel better and more alert and yes, taller.

This will make you two inches taller. Youll also feel more confident. If you already have perfect posture and are confident, then this will make you arrogant (joking). Anyway, thats all there is to it!

Dating Advice For Women By Men


By Samantha Sanderson

It is not brain surgery ladies, we are pretty simple creatures. We may look and act like idiots, but we know what we like and when we don't have it, we flee. What you are about to learn is top secret stuff and usually used for the selection process. The man club may never forgive me for giving dating advice for women by men.

Don't pretend. It is no secret that people will put up a little bit of a front when they first start dating. This is not about making sure your nails are always done or your hair looks great, this is about pretending that you like things that you cannot stand. If you don't like football, don't jump up on the chair and act like you love it. Whatever you enjoy early on is filed away in our simple minds to be enjoyed for all of eternity. It's cool if you don't like everything we do, just don't act like you do.

Eat something. Dinner dates are always interesting and you can really see what a girl thinks of herself when she goes out to dinner. If you order a nice dinner and have a great time, your rating has just gone up. When you order salad and water because you want to make us think you are health conscious, all you did was let us know you are high maintenance, see ya!

Be sexy. This is very important early on in the relationship. Men love looking at women and we love looking at them when they look their best. It may seem like a shallow thing to say, but when you show up in a sweatshirt on your second date it is a little bit of a turnoff. We are not idiots and we know you are not going to be your best all the time. In fact, as the relationship goes forward, you will find that if he really loves you, he will love you more at your worst because he knows what he had. In the beginning though, we want our worlds rocked so turn up the heat!

Don't be one of the guys. Another common mistake is girls think that we want you to be one of the guys. No, we have our buddies for that. We want you to be you. We want our girls to be sexy, loving and to think we are the greatest thing in the world.

Common Indoor Bugs


By Owen Jones

Some of the commonest bugs we see indoors all over the world are flies, spiders, fleas and beetles. Nobody likes to see a bug indoors, so most people will go to almost any extremes to eradicate these common indoor bugs. The less common indoor bugs may be woodlice, earwigs, scorpions and millipedes or centipedes, although they are not less unwelcome.

No matter where you are in the world, it is very hard to keep these common indoor bugs outside, unless you go to the extremes of keeping all your windows and doors shut all of the time, which is obviously impossible. I live in Thailand and I know that this is not an option.

So, just what can you do about it? Well, let's deal with all the flying insects first, because of all the common indoor bugs, I think they are the most unpleasant indoor bug. They are very annoying, buzzing around your head and mosquitoes and other flies can produce irritating sores and besides that, all flies carry disease. I hate to see them walking on food, knowing that they have probably just come off some dung heap somewhere and now they are spitting on my food to taste it with their dirty feet!

My first line of defence is fine-mesh door and widow screens. They are not expensive and can be added retrospectively to any window. My window meshes slide, so they can protect only one half of a window at a any one time, but I do not find that a problem. You can still set up cross-winds, by opening two or more windows at opposite ends of a room. I just love to see the flies on the mesh trying to get in by day and the mosquitoes doing the same by night. At night, it is wise to turn on as little light indoors as possible in order not to attract these common indoor bugs.

My second line of defence is natural predators - lizards, like Geckos (Jin Jok, in Thai). Some people don't like them in the house either and I can't say that I'm all that keen on them indoors myself, but they are hard to keep out and they do consume hundreds, if not thousands, of indoor bugs every day. I particularly like to see them lying in wait on the outside of the mesh, ready to jump on any bug trying to struggle its way through the wires.

My third line of defence is an indoor bug zapper. You know, the electric, handheld bug zapper that looks like a child's tennis racquet. The come in two forms: battery and rechargeable kinds. They are brilliant at catching and annihilating any flying indoor bug. The bug literally explodes and vaporizes on contact with the fully-charged wires of the indoor bug zapper. If you haven't tried using one, you really should. They are most gratifying. These three defences keep our house pretty much free of flies.

The crawling common indoor insects are not so much of a problem really. Door screens on springs will keep 99% of them out and the Geckos will help too. Spiders can get in very easily, but then, I don't mind them too much as long as they keep away from me, as they consume other bugs too. They are on our side to be honest. However, for those who can not bear to trap them and put them outside, the handheld indoor bug zapper works a treat on spiders too.

Fleas can be a problem, if you have cats or dogs, but then if you wash or dust the animal once a month, you should be able to keep those common indoor bugs under control fairly easily. However, there are two final methods that we employ. Once a week, before we go out for the day, we spray every room with fly killer and every six-months we spray any rugs or carpets with an insect killer containing permethrin, which will survive washing and vacuuming for that long without losing its ability to kill common indoor bugs on contact. If you stick with these measures, you should be able to keep your home or office quite free of the most common indoor bugs and any less common indoor bug as well.
