How Not To Host A Ghost

Does the title send a chill down your spine? Worry not, help is available to bust the Ghost in us and you! Do we know, what is an entity or ghost is? What does it do to us? How can we eliminate these to live a happy life? Join me as we investigate this issue together.Many times, we are subject to slight irritation to major mood swings. What follows is a step-by-step degradation of our health and which later translates into variety of major diseases. Do we know, what is happening? Human beings are being subject to certain forces, which limit our expression and efficiency. How do we identify, when we are subject to such attacks? Are there any precautions to all of this?First let us define what an entity or Ghost is.It is an intent expressed through thoughts. At a higher level, every human being is just a thought. So, we are all in a thought pool, manifesting the goodies and the not so.Thoughts are extremely powerful and can create or destroy. If it is negative then it can destroy or limit the target. The entity creating these thoughts can be human or extra-terrestrial. These can be at any frequency level. The target here can be a human being or any other life form.Our world is made of positive and negative. Many a times it is shades of these, ranging from very negative to very positive. You will be surprised to know, that we often are the source of both.How can an entity or intent affect us?Any intention, by any human being living or dead, or for that matter any life, has a ripple effect on the world around us. If it is a positive intent, it helps the world and us. If it is a destructive type of intent, it has the ability to plunge us into major disease and problems. Most of the cancers that we see these days is because of entities destroying our subtle field which directly controls our genes.What are the symptoms?Unexplained Irritation and listlessness, Unperturbed Anger, Deep Fears, Insomnia and Loss of Appetite are the symptoms of the ghost attack. It isn't easy to observe yourself, when you have been taken over by the entity. It swoops on you and you realize that something has gone wrong only after the destruction is done.


Many times, the target is your own health. Unexplained stress takes the toll on you. This will reflect on your relationships, work ethics and social well-being. But the funny fact is, most of the society is suffering from these attacks and to you, this listlessness could be perfectly normal. Often, the price paid is heavy in terms of broken relationships, unsatisfactory jobs and a feeling of non-achievement.Sudden illness is another symptom. Lost productivity and medical expenses would be a blow to anyone. Around 80% of the diseases on the earth plane is because of non-awareness of the presence of entities and their destructive effect.What really happens?Our personal electromagnetic field is punctured by these ghosts and they reside on our aura. They feed on the light conduits feeding energy to our bio-circuits. The subtle energy or our personal electro-magnetic field is compromised by these ghosts.The subtle field is what controls our genes. What this means is, our gene expression is affected and can result in serious diseases like cancer etc., They feed on us to survive and to accomplish what they want. These entities could be human or extra-terrestrial. If it is a dangerous ET possessing you, then it becomes extremely difficult to free yourself from those.What can we do?First and foremost is to manage your aura well. Eat right, exercise well, choose right people for company, choose the job that you love. Say goodbye to stress. All this goes a long way to make sure your aura is strong and acts as a defense from these trouble mongers from within and without. Take up practices like Yoga or meditation which increase your awareness and attention. All these practices make you extremely sensitive and aware of these marauding entities. Always be present and be in the 'Now'.Next time you feel anger at someone, release it immediately. Forgive the person, responsible for your anger. For any anger, snowballs into a major energy sink and slows us down. These could invite entities into our field.If still you find the going tough, you could take the help of intuitive counselors who could help you to be free from these entities. Happy Ghost Busting!

Introduction to Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are "in" these days, and they are included in the services provided by a majority of professional beauty salons. These are pieces of hair, either real or synthetic, which are attached to your natural hair to make it look longer or thicker. Hair extensions are not permanent. Some are replaced, while others are re-applied from time to time. There are many different ways of attaching them, depending on the choice of a customer and her professional stylist. Deciding whether or not to get them is all up to you. However, you have to think about the high price you need to pay and the regular maintenance that adds to the cost. Besides, it takes time to attach them, and some individuals find them painful.Some of the hair used in these extensions is 100% human hair, while sometimes it can 100% synthetic. The most expensive extensions are made of human hair. These are chosen by those who can afford it because it looks more natural and real. Those who like to wear extensions should have healthy hair that has a minimum length of 3 to 5 inches. A lot of stylists prefer to attach hair extensions to longer hair rather than shorter hair.Hair extensions are usually woven or adhered to the natural hair in very small strands that are closely attached to the scalp. A synthetic glue-like bond is commonly used for binding; this glue is safe to be used on natural hair and scalp. Extensions can be combined with natural hair, and they can be braided. There are different methods of attachment, depending on the stylist and what he/she learned to be able to do the service.


When the extensions are attached, the client can wash and style her hair as often as she wants to, just like her own real hair. There are certain kinds of hair products like shampoo and conditioner that some stylists recommend, and there are also some that need to be avoided because they can weaken the bonds.Though hair extensions are among the priciest salon services offered, many people find them worth the cost, especially those who have damaged hair and those who cut their hair very short. Extensions can be used by people of any ethnicity. There are lots of celebrities that take advantage of this service so they can have a different look each time, which they can use in different roles.There are though some full service salons that do no offer hair extension services, so you need to search for one in your phone directory or through a local upscale salon. You can also ask you present stylist to recommend an expert in attaching hair extensions.Sooner of later, these hair extensions need to be removed because they have a tendency to loosen when hair grows, since they are sewn or clipped very near to the scalp. The longer the hair grows, the farther these extensions move away from the scalp. They can be worn from 1 month onwards, depending on the rate that you hair grows.

The Best Body Care Products

Have you ever checked what those strangely named ingredients are in your body care and beauty products?Recently I came to realize that I have no idea what those ingredients are and I better find out instead of maintaining the silly attitude that if it is on a shelf in a shop, it must be a good enough product without any harmful effect. Yes I know, cigarette and alcohol have a harmful effect on the human body and yet you can buy these in any shopping center, even at little shop of the service station. That those are harmful is common knowledge, isn't it? But just because we did not hear about the toxic ingredients that can be found in most shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, day cream and nigh cream, and cleansing clean and the list goes on, it does not mean that they aren't harmful.The following ingredient were all included in the anti-bacterial hand wash I used six months ago, and ironically it made skin on my hand dry and cracked:Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidoproyl Betaine, Lactic Acid, Cocamide MEA, Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Salicylate, Glycerin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Benzophenone-4, Poloxamer 124, Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia) Juice, Lime Oil, Cl 47005, Cl42090What are these?Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a surfactant and penetration enhancer. When it is used in combination with other chemicals, it can form nitrosamines, a deadly class of carcinogen.


Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a surfactant and foaming agent. According to Wikipedia, it was voted Allergen of the Year in 2004 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society.Lactic Acid is a penetration enhancer.Cocamide MEA is a hormone-disrupting chemicalFragrance this one word covers nearly 4000 different ingredients. Most of these are synthetic and are cancer-causing.Sodium Benzoate is a preservative that promotes cancer.Tetrasodium EDTA is a surfactant and hormone-disrupterPoloxamer 124 - surfactantSodium Salicylate or salicylic acid is a penetration enhancer.Cl 47005 or acid yellow 3 is a cosmetic and food colorantCl 42090 or FD&C Blue No.1, Acid blue 9 is a colorant that is also an allergenThe beauty companies that uses these in their products will tell you that the amount they use is so small that it can not possibly hurt you. Only they forget, that other products can also includes these, and many little amount adds up to a lot.I have learnt these from Samuel S. Epstein's book: Toxic Beauty. It is a must read to everyone, who care about what goes into their body.Learning about these ingredients made me rethink the meaning of the 'best body care product'. For any beauty product to have a chance to get into this category, it must be absolutely toxins free and deliver the positive improvements it is designed to do.

Helpful Makeup Tips for Your Wedding Day

Here are some helpful tips to make you your most beautiful during your wedding day:1. The first golden rule to remember for wedding makeup is it has to last all day and by this, we mean it will outlast all the crying, kissing, hugging and eating you're sure to be doing. At this point in your life, you need a full proof makeup to achieve this goal.2. Second on the rule list is to bring out what best features you have. This is not the right time to show off how good you are in makeup application. The simpler, the better because as the saying goes, "less is more."3. If you want to hire the services of a makeup artist, don't hesitate or be embarrassed to tell him or her what makeup you want. If you have a specific color in mind, let the makeup professional know. However, it would also be good if you would be open to what suggestions he or she may have regarding the look you want as the whole objective is to make you look your absolute best.4. One word: Decollete. Especially if your dress calls for it. A tiny bit of sift shimmer makes the perfect flourish for your best look.5. Keep in mind that foundations and powders give a different effect in pictures due to the light they reflect differently. To be on the safe side, it would be wise to have your makeup photographed with a flash a day before your wedding. Make sure to include your neck when you blend your foundation so that your face won't have a different color from your body.


6. Have your facial several days prior to the big day. Such treatments can make your skin and face look blemished and irritated for a couple of days following the treatment and that is the last thing you would want to look!7. Pluck and shape your eyebrows a day before because doing this on the day itself may have them looking red, irritated or swollen.8. Wear your contact lenses before makeup application.9. This is easy to say but hard to do. Still, it's worth saying that you shouldn't stress too much as this can cause your skin impurities. If you happen to have any blemishes, resist the temptation to prick as this can only worsen them.10. You will always be what you eat and this is clearly reflected in your skin so munch on vegetables and fruits to have skin with a healthy glow. Drink lots of water as well to help keep it hydrated.

How To Reduce Relaxed Hair Breakage

If you have relaxed hair you have to reduce breakage to retain length. Relaxed hair can be weak and dry because of the chemical treatment applied and over usage of heat. Relaxers have to break the protein bonds in the hair strand to force curly hair straight. These protein bonds are essential to the strength of the hair. Once these bonds are damaged, you have very weak hair as a result. Weak hair equals breakage. Over usage of heat causes very dry hair. Heat can remove moisture from the hair strands. Hair needs moisture to make it elastic. Elasticity allows the hair to bounce back when it is stretched by combing and manipulation. Dry hair equals breakage. Dry and weak hair together equals constant breakage. While healthy hair can have breakage from daily manipulation, chemically treated hair is more fragile and breaks off more often. If long locks are your objective reducing breakage is the key to success! The goal is to reduce breakage as much as possible. Here are six tips for reducing breakage:1. Never use the highest setting on any heat device. If you are using a flatiron, for example, try to use the low or medium heat setting. The same goes for a hooded or handheld dryer, try to use the low or medium heat setting on these devices as well.2. Use one source of heat while styling. If you are using a flatiron to style your hair, for example, air dry your hair instead of using a hooded or handheld dryer, then follow up with flat ironing.


3. Limit heat usage. Try to use heat as little as possible. If you use heat every week, see if you can go every two weeks instead.4. Keep your hair moisturized. Deep condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner every time you shampoo. Try to deep condition the hair once a week to every two weeks. If you have time, leave the conditioner on for at least an hour. In addition, use a daily moisturizer in between washes to keep the hair supple and soft.5. Instead of using a super strength or regular strength relaxer, give a mild strength relaxer a try. A mild strength relaxer will leave more protein bonds in the hair strands. This in turn will allow the hair to have more strength and durability. More strength and durability will equal less breakage. A mild relaxer won't get the hair as straight as the super or regular strength relaxer, but it will help reduce breakage.6. Perform a protein treatment. Protein treatments help strengthen weak hair. Use a protein treatment once every two weeks or as needed. Hair can get protein overload so be careful not to use a protein treatment too often.All these tips will significantly slow breakage down. Breakage is not our friend! No longer do you have to suffer from various sized pieces of your precious strands all over your clothes. Breakage reduces length and it makes the hair very uneven. Give these tips a try and watch your breakage reduce.
