The Universal Laws Of Nature - Beyond Emotion Finding Inner Stillness

A Revolution in the way humanity treats itself, and you. The Laws of Nature are a revolution in the way humanity treats itself and therefore a revolution in the way we treat ourselves. The Laws of Nature have the ability to transform the planet in their simpilicity, honesty and integrity. These Laws of Nature are universal laws and by implication, appear everywhere.

The search for truth, is the conscious search for these laws. Evidence of them can be found in music, in dance, in business, healing as well as relationships. The Laws of Nature are found in every walk of life. When we, our business and our humanity lives in harmony with Natures Laws we have success, love and happiness. When not, we have disaster. Our aim is to avoid the latter by sharing Natures Law, with all who are ready. The magnificence of Natures Law is found in simplicity.

In our complex world, we have the opportunity to simplify our understandings by relating everything to nature. Nature is the keeper of those ancient laws which stand the test of time. The forest, the ocean, the sky, species, rocks, plants, animals and insects all have a voice. It requires silence and wisdom to hear it. Chris interprets and applies the Laws of Nature with a single purpose -- to transform the way we live, Chris suggests its not what we think but how we think that will change the world. Nature thinks in accordance with her 5 laws, and when we tune into that we find the harmony for which we search. It can transform every individual, every business and ultimately our global humanity

Stepping out - A gift of love - A Global Opportunity

Move beyond that which is comfortable to that which is real. Every star in the universe and every cell in your body operates under the guidance of the five laws of nature. Therefore laws are self evident, universal, because by definition they operate in every walk of life. Imagine the impact on individuals, business and global development if we could share those five simple laws with billions and billions of people. We believe that this gift of love to the world, these five simple laws and the transformation they can make in peoples daily lives is a most inspirational opportunity. It is a phenomena that belongs to humanity.

For 10 years now, Chris Walker has shared these five laws with the world. Traveling ceaselessly he has presented keynotes to corporate audiences, undertaken suicide prevention with indigenous communities in Canada, run self development programs all over the world, taken people to his second home in the Nepalese Himalayas and done thousands upon thousands of one to one guidance sessions tto share this gift.

A Universal Law, by definition, operates everywhere. Nature is a mirror of those laws. Humanity is also a mirror of those laws. You know you are inspired, you know there is more to life and you know the value of simplicity to humanity. The Laws of Nature take you beyond the realms of morals and ethics, religion, cultures, wars and peace. You will see those laws mirrored in human dynamics, and distorted in human emotion, and our societies challenges. There is a breathtaking opportunity, one of the most precious gifts a person can imagine, understanding the laws behind the laws behind the laws, behind the laws of everything. This is where you will be challenged, inspired and you will feel your life touched deeply and lovingly.

How do the Laws of Nature affect you?

Following the Laws of Nature, you will rid yourself of clutter, physically and mentally as this will bring a purity to your life. If emotions start to obstruct your journey, by following some simple instructions, you will be able to transform any experience back to truth, love, spontaneously.

To grow spiritually, there is a merging of stillness and fluidity. Stillness is vital because unless the mind is still, it cannot find truth. Fluidity, because the world itself is fluid, ever changing around us in busy chance events. This is the skill, stillness and fluidity all at once.

Imagine spending a lot of time in nature, you are running your fingers over the solid trunk of a tree, picking up a stone and notice its aged patterns, examining the fragility of a leaf, and letting water flow through your fingers. With the study of lifes laws as mirrored in nature, you will see how every object of nature is obedient to the laws, bound to them inescapably. Then, you may reflect that we as humans, a part of nature, are also subject to the same laws. It is a magnificent awakening.

How can you apply the Laws of Nature in your life?

The Laws of Nature applied to Business and Leadership The laws of nature apply to business management and leadership. You can examine competitive strategy and how nature can predict competitive market dynamics. Further, you can examine critical issues reflected from the laws of nature in planning for the future, brand management, asset and resource structuring. Applying natures approach to sustainable leadership, teamwork, personal mastery and culture pin points, are the foundation of all hierarchies in nature.

The Laws of Nature applied to Staff Selection

Be in your Element is a revolution in self and other management. Created in Australia, based on ancient teachings, it presents a powerful way to encourage people to work and live in harmony with their natural best. Be in Your Element can transform workplaces, relationships and lifestyles. Just by knowing a persons Elemental Constitution, you will know the best way to manage, allocate work, inspire and avoid conflict. An organic, yet powerfully dynamic means of human development.

The Laws of Nature applied to Living Inspired

To be inspired is to be enthusiastic about life while remaining humble to it. Inspiration requires mastery of space, environment, mind, body and connection to a higher source. Chris will share a huge diversity of process to help you achieve this. Including yoga, Tibetan meditation, mind power skills, body-mind energy projection, nerve calasthenics and creative skills. The end result is the ability to achieve a state of inspiration, anywhere, anytime no matter what the circumstance.

The Laws of Nature applied to Myself

Who am I? Where am I going? Why am I here? Where did I come from? How do I feel? What is natures intent for life. The 5 Laws of Nature can or could affect the way you life, think, love and work. Apply these laws to the judgments and expectations you have and see if they pass the acid test of the laws of nature. This is about acceptance and ownership.

The Laws of Nature Applied to peace of Mind

The 5 Laws of Nature will be challenging some long-held beliefs and opening up new possibilities for your mind. The importance of personal truth, the difference between truth and perception and how to change it will create peace of mind.

The Laws of Nature Applied to Relationship

The five Laws of Nature applied to the dynamics of relationships, love, attraction, intimacy and the dynamics of families. Nature bridges the gap between aspiration and truth in the quest for a deeper, more loving relationship. Other keys we learn from natures laws are - Letting go, getting over the past, confidence, trust and attraction. This insight into the universal laws of love and conscious relationship will be a great gift to treasure and apply.

The Laws of Nature Applied to Health, Energy, Healing, Vitality

A walk in nature, stretching the body, connecting body and mind, moving energy with thought, healing wounds, preventing disease, living as nature intended, the importance of sunlight, posture and breath for youthfulness and longevity. Preventative maintenance and daily habits for healthy living. This is natures maintenance program, understanding the opportunities and the myths. This is not about mung beans and organic apples.

The Laws of Nature applied to Career and Work

In nature, everything has a purpose. Nature has a purpose and all the elements within her web serve that purpose. If a frog tried to become a bird, it would never be happy. In this session, a vital key is revealed through natures law regarding living from our heart, putting our heart into what we do. Natures Law shows us how. What did nature intend for our lives, what are your wishes, dreams and inspirations and how do they align with natures intention for your life? A Vision Quest is a creative opportunity to learn how to tune into natures voice and guidance, including your own body, Natures Bible.

The Laws of Nature applied to Global Contribution

Each and every seed in nature is unique. Its purpose is part of something beyond itself. As is ours. Our role in making a global contribution is called our life purpose. Bringing spirit to life. In tune with the Laws of Nature, knowing your life purpose is one of the most vital and inspirational possibilities in life.

Laws of Nature - The Future - Daily habits and rituals to connect to Your Spirit. Let nature be your guide.

Higher Thinking - Balance

What is love but balance. This law of nature reveals the heartbreak, the failure and all suffering of humanity. A balanced mind, is natures mind, two sides revealed.

There are many negative or destructive forms of thought which react in every cell of your body. The strongest is fear and its child, worry. They bring tension to the body and mind leading to waste of energy, and either slow or rapid poisoning of the body. Rage, intense fear and shock are very violent and quickly intoxicate the system. Worry and other destructive emotions act more slowly but in the end have the same effect. Anger and intense fear stop digestive action. Higher thinking is therefore firstly about health and wellbing but ultimately, our affect on the world.

Growth

It is said in the east that on the spiritual path, the first thing to be learned is how to unlock what has already been learned then unlearn it. It requires humility and means letting go of our self-centered individuality. We must become flexible in our ways with an awareness that all our ideas and opinions are just a collection of erroneous facts that have been adopted as truth.

Letting go is the ultimate challenge in life. Letting go is the ultimate lesson in love. Letting go is hard to do. It is the most powerful testimony to the conflict between mind and love. Letting go of a lover, a loved one, a child a family. Letting go of a hope or a friendship, these are emotional and physical pains that only spiritual truth can resolve at their core, by turning emotion to love, evolution as nature intended.

Letting go is a powerful confrontation. It may be considered the greatest challenge of all. Because when mind and love come to argue the battle is fierce. Ultimately, only love can win, nature has determined it through her laws.

Abundance

It is not the absence of possessions that frees a person, quite the opposite. But it is the absence of attachment, the absence of greed and the absence of fear that makes a person happy. Truly a happy person is happy, without anything, and equally happy with everything.

Victor Frankel reminds us that all things can be taken from us but we are still able to choose the abundance of our heart.

There is a lot of confusion about abundance in our society. People think that it is about wanting and having and getting and receiving. That is not true abundance because its connected with just one form of life.

Just throw away imaginary thoughts of things not yet here, and stand firm in that which you are Kabhir

Harmony

Natures Laws in harmony with life - one moment standing in the midst of nature with an open heart is like a life time of fulfillment.

A lack of harmony has disastrous effects on the world, all the troubles on our earth come from this dissymmetry. All the tragedy in the world, in the individual and the multitude, comes from this lack of harmony, and harmony is best given by producing it in ones own life. We see that the world today needs harmony more than ever before.

If one is in tune with themselves and the rhythms of nature, then one moment standing in the midst of nature with an open heart is like a life-time of fulfillment.

Hierarchy

Even an open heart will close, if the desires of the heart are not being expressed - the artist must paint, the sculptor must sculpt, the doctor must heal. All inner, personal work must result in action for this is the expression of inner Spirit. Expression is giving. Happiness and wellness depend on it.

Inspiration is when the inner voice speaks louder than the outer voice. In other words, self-motived people. At the heart of this philosophy is the acknowledgment that we need to bring new skills to everyday life to remain inspired. Sustaining our humanity as the world takes new shapes is vital and our connection to nature is becoming more important and more difficult.

iPhone Flunks Out at Duke University

Well it wasn't AT&T's west coast network, but the iPhone did manage to short circuit one, albeit much smaller, network today. The iPhone's Wi-Fi connection appears to be causing problems on the wireless network at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

The built-in 802.11b/g adapters on a number of phones occasionally flood certain parts of the University's wireless LAN with mac address requests. This has lead to the temporary loss of signal from 12 to 30 wireless access points on different occasions.

The campus primary WLAN provider, cisco, is currently working with network administrators who have opened a help desk ticket with apple. However, a specific cause has yet to be determined.

Because it is summer, a time in which the majority of full-time students are not enrolled in classes, the problem is not as severe as say during finals week of fall semester. However, when students return for classes in the fall, they are certain to bring more iPhones with them. And with more iPhones, come even more network requests flooding the campus system.

The iPhones appear to be flooding the University's access points with up to 18,000 address requests per second (nearly 10Mbps of bandwidth) and hording the campus airtime. When the access points can no longer handle the intense traffic, they proceed to shut down for 10-15 minutes with no means to communicate with Wi-Fi enabled devices. According to Kevin Miller, assistant director, communications infrastructure, with Dukes Office of information technology, there are currently 150 or so apple iPhones regularly using Duke's Wi-Fi network.

The iPhone uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to request the mac address of the destination node, for which it already has the IP address. When it doesnt get an answer, the iPhone just keeps asking, leading to the aforementioned 18,000 requests per second.

So far, the communication with apple has been one-way, according to Miller. After initially filing the problem ticket, apple has told him the problem is being escalated but as of mid-afternoon Monday, nothing significant had been heard from apple.

With this story in full rotation in the blogoshpere and national news publications, apple would be wise to offer some real solutions to the problems, and fast. With an angry consumer rights group and an irritated mob of EDGE customers already barking up their proverbial tree, this is just one more bump in the road the iPhone must cope with and resolve.

The coming days may prove costly for apple as they could see their college-age market shrink due to potential perceived complications with campus wireless networks. Regardless of whether the Duke case is an isolated incident, the negative press from its occurrence is sure to leave some college-aged purchasers with a bitter taste in their mouth.

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs are available in two versions of two different models, for a total of 4 product lines. These include the Slingshot Hybrid and Slingshot tour Hybrid, the CPR3 Wood and CPR3 iron-Wood. this article will review the attributes of each of these hybrid golf clubs.

Slingshot Hybrid and Slingshot tour Hybrid
Both of these clubs have an MSRP of $199 US for either steel or graphite shafts. The Slingshot tour is targeted for low handicap golfers, and the Slingshot is for less skilled players. Both clubs aim to deliver a center of gravity (CG) that is low and as far back behind the face as possible. this type of club head design is geared to making the ball get up into the air easier and to be forgiving of off-center hits. Both clubs look like a hybrid or small fairway wood with the upper back section removed. this is readily evident on the companys web site. The weight thus removed is then redistributed in a thick sole and a thick bar around the back of the clubs called a Slingback bar. The result of this design is to have 70% of the mass of the club head below the equator of the ball. The face plate on both clubs is made of 455 stainless steel which is normal for high-end hybrid clubs like these.

There are 5 clubs available in the Slingshot line. These are 2-6 hybrids. Perhaps it bears repeating that hybrid clubs are designed to replace long irons that are difficult for most golfers to hit solidly on a consistent basis. A 3 hybrid will replace your 3 iron, for example. All the clubs in the Slingshot product line are available for both left and right handed golfers. There is no womens version of this model available, or for any of the Nike hybrid golf clubs models for that matter. Of course both steel and graphite shafts are available. custom fitting options exist for club length (-1/2 to +2 from standard) and for lie angles (-2 to +4 degrees from standard). One would need to have a custom club fitting to know if he needs to order any of these changes. This is a good idea in any case for a person thinking of investing in a set of new golf clubs.

As stated, the Slingshot tour Hybrid is for low handicap players. In fact Nike notes that their tour staff requested such a model be developed. four clubs are available in 1-4 hybrids. The shafts on the Slingshot tour Hybrid are slightly heavier than on the Slingshot. The same options to customize club length and lie angle can be chosen.

CPR3 Wood and CPR3 iron-Wood
These two hybrids have an MSRP of $139 with steel shafts and $159 with graphite. The CPR3 Wood clubs have a deeper sole and have more of a wood bottom footprint, thus the name. The upper back section is cut out, and thus again weight can be redistributed around the periphery of the sole to lower the CG and move it back. 2-5 hybrids are available, and all lofts come in left handed models. No womens versions of this product line are available, nor are there any options for customization as there are with the Slingshots.

The CPR3 iron-Wood has a smaller footprint which is more like a typical hybrid club. This version is targeted to lower handicap golfers and is available in 1-4 hybrids in either steel or graphite shafts. Left handed clubs are available, and as with the CPR3 Wood, there are no custom options for club length or lie angle.

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs do not come with versions to provide a hook bias to help golfers with a consistent slice, or adjustable club head weight versions as is offered by taylor Made, for example. It will be interesting to see if the popularity of those design features or the demand for womens hybrids will be high enough to motivate Nike to add these types of clubs to their product offerings. Nike is certainly a top rank golf company, however, so if one of their models fits you properly, you will be playing with excellent clubs.

A Truly Effective Yogic Relaxation Technique

Lie on your back on the floor with your arms placed naturally by you side, your palms uppermost and fingers relaxed. Have your legs about shoulder width apart. You may place a folded small towel beneath your head, but nothing more comfortable than that.

Now some people, especially beginners, tend go to sleep very quickly in this position and that is not what we are seeking to do. If this happens to you, adopt the following position instead: Be seated in a straight-backed chair with your hands on your thighs or knees. Sit up straight and make sure that your feet are comfortably flat on the floor. Also be certain that each side of your body is positioned identically. In other words place the hands identically with the finger spread being the same on each hand; ensure that the feet placed symmetrically.

So now, in either your lying or seated position, close you eyes.

Now, take your mind to your right thumb. Visualize it. Ensure that it is relaxed. Move it if necessary. Take your mind now to you right index finger; again, visualize it and make sure that it is relaxed. Move to the middle finger, then the ring finger and then the little finger. Move your mind now to the back of your right hand, your right wrist, your right forearm, your right upper arm. Be sure that you are visualizing each part and ensuring that it is completely relaxed. Move your visualization now to the right shoulder, the right armpit, the right side of the body, the right hip, the right knee, the right calf, the right ankle, the soul of the right foot, the right big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, little toe.

Take your mind now to your left thumb, left forefinger and so on around the left side of your body to the left little toe.

Visualize now and ensure relaxation of the left buttock, the right buttock, the small of the back, the spinal column, the right shoulder blade, the left shoulder blade, the area between the shoulder blades, the tops of the shoulders and back and sides of the neck, the back of the head, the right ear, the left ear, the right temple, the left temple.

Pause here and imagine that the feeling of relaxation that you are now experiencing is flowing through your temples into your mind. Feel your mind as being totally relaxed; totally at ease. Tell yourself that It is that way because of the relaxation flowing into it. Savor this experience for a little while and then move your consciousness to the top of your head, your forehead, your right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right eye, left eye, the nose, the nose tip, the upper lip, the lower lip,(at this juncture ensure that the bottom jaw is totally relaxed, with the teeth a barely touching it at all) and then on to the chin, neck, right side of chest, left side of chest, abdomen and then the right leg, the left leg, the right arm, the left arm, the trunk, the head, your whole body your whole bodyyour whole body.

(This may sound complicated in the reading, but in practice, because the parts are in sequence, there is no difficulty in running the visualization from one part of the body to the next and so on. It is an old yoga technique that has been practiced for thousands of years and it is its very simplicity that underpins it historical success).

By now you are probably feeling very relaxed almost divorced from the real world. (If you do not, dont be concerned. Simply go through the procedure again)

Now is the time to begin to visualize places of great contentment, beauty and peace that you have experienced during your lifetime. Perhaps a lake, or a beach, a forest, a running stream, a sunset, the glory of the stars. Feel the cold of the water or snow; feel the warmth of the noonday, smell the forest, smell the grasslands, listen to the insects, the call of the birds; see the sky, see the clouds

Do this for what appears quite a long time five or ten minutes. Then let your imagination rest. Just visualize nothing at all. Stay like this for as long as you can. You will feel totally at peace. You may even feel so peaceful and contented that youd like to stay this was forever! Many people feel that way and are quite reluctant to return to a wakeful state. But all good things come to an endeven successful meditations and in meditation, it is easy to loose track of time. Some people set a quiet alarm that rings after about 45 minutes or an hour. You may want to do the same. Whatever, when it comes time to go back to the everyday, do so slowly. With your eyes still closed, raise your arms above your head and drop them down to your sides again. Move your bottom jaw. Move your legs and then slowly open your eyes. Wow! Youre back in the real world!

Follow this technique every day for at least half an hourpreferably an hour. You'll be amazed at what it does for you. Youll be more relaxed; more confident; more alive! The real world will become a much, much better place in which to be. Who knows, you may even take up yoga and reap even more rewards!
