Exterior Vastu

Compound wall: The compound is the wall that covers the boundary of the house. The compound wall should of more height and thickness in Southern and Western sides as compared to the Northern and Eastern sides, as it prevents negative energy in house. Light walls in North and East sides are beneficial as they ensure morning rays and proper light in house. This way the South and West sides will also become heavier than the rest which is very auspicious.

Garage: The best place to construct a garage is the north-west and south-east corner, and never in the north-east, north or east portion of the house.

Overhead tanks: Overhead tank for water storage should be placed/constructed in south, west or south-west. However, south-west direction is considered best for an overhead tank according to Vastu. And any kind of underground tank created for storage of water should be in the north-east; it should be noted that an underground tank should never be constructed at the point where north and east directions meet. It should either be in the east or in the west but never in the center.

Underground Reservoir: It should always in the northeast and should never be in southeast or south-west. One should cover the all inner portion of the tank with tiles, preferably of white colour, so as to ensure cleanliness of the tank.

Well / Bore Well / Tube Well: These should be constructed in North - East or eastern sides to bring all round prosperity and new opportunities for growth.

Open space around the building: We have to carefully examine the space given to us around the building and make sure that you are leaving the maximum space in North and East side and less on South and West sides. The construction should never be on the Northern and eastern wall as this violates the basic principle of Vastu. The left area in North should not be less compared to the open area left in the South.

The proportion: The ratio between the length and breadth of the building should be 1:1 or 1:1.5 or maximum up to 1:2. It should never exceed this limit in any circumstance, otherwise it will become a 'long bar' shaped plot and is not at all auspicious.

The Levels: At any level the West, South, South - West sides should be more elevated than the North, North - East and East sides. Basically, the flow of water should always be from the South to North or West to East.

Terrace / Porch / Portico / Balcony: All these should always be located in the North, East or North - East sides of the building to bring the health, wealth and happiness. If one needs to construct balconies in in the southwest, they should be smaller than balconies in the northeast. One can construct an open terrace in the north-east, by constructing major part of the first floor in the southwest.

Secrets Of Successful NLP Interventions

There are many reasons for why a change-work session succeeds. NLP has the reputation of a "one time therapy," which usually means that a client will only have to see you (and pay) once for resolving a specific issue. From my experience in private practice, the most important success factor is your client's cooperation. If your client is not cooperative, there is no use to keep the session going. If they refuse to do things in their imagination as an NLP pattern dictates, you ought to make it clear to them that without their full participation it is not going to work well. In other words, you are not a magician or a Svengali that is forcing clients to get better. You could, in a way, but that would leave you exhausted, frustrated and distressed, which will lead you .. .into therapy yourself.

Now, full cooperation is the success secret on the surface. But looking deeper, we find an interesting therapeutic "fact": in many cases, the change your client desires starts to take place as soon as he or she becomes aware of the purpose or structure of their undesired behaviors or thought patterns. In fact, I've been a witness to the whole process completing in that phase alone!

The most common example is your client who comes in suffering from severe pain, which every physician concludes to be a "phantom pain," and before you even complete a "chunk down" exercise, the pain disappears. By facing the pain; by describing its modalities and submodalities, its subtle characteristics, and most importantly, its "message" or "intention,"O it is as if that subconscious process (inducing pain to protect the core or get attention) has been "caught" and revealed, no longer able to control the person. In other words, once you see how a trick is being done (what the pain was for), you remove the power of the illusion.

This is a fact that you need to remember when you work with clients. Expect it to work, anticipate it, and you will soon notice that your work is much easier. Yes, you need to make your work as easy as possible, because your clients expect to get results and get them fast. NLP is a rapid change work, not a tool you use when you're done with listening to your clients' issues for many hours.

Content VS. Content Free

Another secret that would work well for you as an active practitioner is to avoid working with content as much as possible. As an NLP practitioner, your job is not to provide your client a setting in which he or she can vent out their troubles and miseries. That's what good friends are for, and you are being paid for something completely different.

In fact, your session can be more productive when you prevent your client from venting negative emotions. This helps you guide your client into becoming fully absorbed in the process.

Two excellent examples of this principle are the States Chaining and the Swish patterns. You want your clients to be directed by the pattern into making the resolution that lies within the NLP pattern. With most of my clients I spend ten to fifteen minutes, and not more than 45 minutes. I do not let them dwell on the details of the issue; certainly I would not be willing to hear gossip stories, interpretations of reality, and endless amounts of sorrow. I am not a psychologist; I was educated to deal with the end result, not with what happened when they were three years old, on a rainy day in Boston.

The best setting for a successful NLP procedure is content free. That is, without taking actual details unless you need them. Most of the patterns and method you can find here are content free style. Their mind knows why they're there, and in a subconscious level all the details are being figured out as you move ahead with the process. So your control over which detail goes where and why has no meaning.

Moreover, dwelling on details might prevent your client from actually getting results. You cannot perform the Swish pattern, for example, by indulging your client's desire to tell you the meaning of the color blue in the negative image or the reason that his or her hand looks dim in the positive one. These details interrupt the process and allow doubt to interfere, causing a high likelihood of failure.

Vastu Tips for Students

Make Better of Your Efforts Let Vastu help you attain better results for your efforts. You might be working hard but not getting results good enough for all the hard work you put yourself through. Vastu is not a magic wand to get you on the top, but it redirects your efforts to the right direction. Following are some of the tips that will help you do just the same:

The room to be chosen for study should be in the east ,North or the North-East direction of the house. These directions improve the absorption power and increase the knowledge content. Along with that if the door of the room is also in either of these directions , the result turns out to be the best.The study room should have images of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Saraswati.The books in the study chamber should be kept in the South-West , South or West direction and not in the North - East .In addition to that if the north - east direction bears heavy weight it shall pressurize the students' mind.Furthermore , if the student studies on the table and chair , the table should not stick to the wall .It should be at least 3 feet away from it . Along with that unnecessary books should not be piled up on the table . Only the books which are needed should be kept on the table. Load of books on the table create unnecessary mental pressure on the mind .The study books should be placed in the cupboard in the cabinet rather than in the open .And if the shutter of the cupboard is kept shut , the flow of energy is constantly maintained.If the learner makes use of the Table lamp then the lamp should be kept in the South-East corner of the desk. Plus if it is a square table then nothing like it. Further the size of the study table should not be too big nor too small. It should be just the size which is comfortable for the working of the student. A big sized table diminishes the working capacity , whereas the small table gives rise to depression.Moreover , if possible , the walls of the study room should be light orange in color as it is very auspicious and enhances the wishing power as well as supports the speedy progress of mind.Along with that , at the same time of study , the learner should use a pyramid cape as it proves to be extremely beneficial . Not only that it embellishes the remembering power and absorption.The student should ensure that after studying when they go off to sleep , their head is in the South direction . It helps in maintaining the magnetic balance of the body and the earth.And last but not the least, a pendulum watch is a must in each and every study room

The Basic Mathematic Principals Of Numerology

Numerology is based on the idea that everything in the universe is both made up of and affected by numbers. Numerology uses both the letters in your name (which are first translated into numbers) and the numbers in your birthdate to give indications of your true nature, your desires and your destiny. In numerology, the numbers both in your name and in your birthdate are added together to arrive at a single digit that is then analyzed to reveal a meaning. By using your full name, the separate parts of your name and your birthdate in various combinations much can be revealed about who you are and who you are meant to become.
Numerology is probably the simplest of all the forms of mathematics because it only involves addition. The method of addition used in numerology, however, is a bit different than the addition you are most likely used to.
Numerology uses the "Fadic System" (sometimes referred to as natural addition) to reduce multiple-digit numbers to a single digit. With this style of addition, you continue to add together two digits until you arrive at a single number. So for example, rather than seeing the number 23 as twenty-three, it is seen as its separate parts of a 2 and a 3. With natural addition, you would add together the two numbers to come up with a single digit:
23 = 2 + 3 = 5
Here is another example using the number 15 (or broken into its individual digits, 1 and 5):
15 = 1 + 5 = 6
This same principal holds true for larger numbers too. Let’s take the year 1967 (or 1, 9, 6, & 7):
1967 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 23
This example is a little more complex, because your answer is a two digit number. This means that it must be reduced further until you wind up with a single digit number. So, you would take your answer of 23 (or 2 & 3 ) and get:
2 + 3 = 5
So the whole equation would look like:
1967 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 23 = 2 + 3 = 5
Once you have mastered the concept of natural addition, the calculations are very simple. Try these practice exercises to see how you do:
1. Reduce the following numbers to a single digit:
a. 143 = 1 + 4 + 3 = 8
b. 46 = 4 + 6 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1
c. 1954 = 1 + 9 + 5 + 4 = 19 = 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1
d. 309 = 3 + 0 + 9 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3
e. 52 = 5 + 2 = 7

APPLYING THIS TO NUMEROLOGY

The two main types of numerology, Chaldean and Pythagorean, both rely on the single digit number. The last two digit number you calculate before reducing to a single digit also holds importance in Chaldean numerology and is what is known as a double or compound number. The idea is that if you take two people who’s numbers come out to 5, but one has a compound number of 16 and the other has a compound number of 23, there will be slight differences between the two.
As an example of the compound number, lets look at the number 97.
97 = 9 + 7 = 16 = 1 + 6 = 7
In this example, the 16 is the compound number, and the 7 is the completely reduced number.
