I always like to drive my small family of three around the beautiful places around this country to experience being in intimate touch with Mother Nature. It's such a relaxing activity to be done during the weekends. A drive to the coastline and back into the mountainous forested regions.
There's always a close knitted relationship between nature and spirituality and I realise this bond and meaning even more when I grow up. I just know I enjoy being in nature. For example, I love forest trekking. Walking through rows of tall trees while brushing against the shrubs, and listening to the flowing water and the bird chirps have made me spiritually understanding to the events that unfold around my life. I also realise I've been talking to God too while I do the trekking.
Psychic Maria Duval has always encouraged people to take up some nature walks as much as their time allows because the modern settings we living in have gradually taken us away from our spiritual base which all humans are made of. Only through spirituality can this world become more peaceful, loving and tolerant to each other.
I'll be going on a nature trail again during this Easter holidays. I'm really looking forward.

Planning to learn NLP
Well, had a very busy day in office with some job interviews to be conducted. A lot of young people are unsure what they want in life actually and I can empathise with them as I was just like them when I was younger. We always think that TIME is on our side, however, in one big fell swoop, 20 or 30 years just go past, and we will sit at a corner sipping a drink and thinking how different it might be if I had.....
That is why I always advise these young people to plan their career plan well if I have a chance. One thing's for sure, they are really very intelligent nowadays. They learn fast, have knowledge on web 2.0, and they have the dress sense.
Right now I'm planning to learn NLP, or Neuro Linguistic Programming, as this is something that may be helpful to me.
"Using NLP a person can 'model' the more successful parts of their own behavior in order to reproduce it in areas where they are less successful or 'model' another person to effect belief and behavior changes to improve functioning. If someone excels in some activity, it can be learned how specifically they do it by observing certain important details of their behavior."Source: Wikipaedia
"NLP teaches that a person can develop successful habits by amplifying helpful behaviors and diminishing negative ones. Positive change can come when one carefully reproduces the behaviors and beliefs of successful people (called 'modeling'). It also states that all human beings have all the resources necessary for success within themselves."
There are really a lot of resources about NLP online. Check this link out if you wish to know more.

About global warming effect
As a spiritual person, do you know there is one pressing issue that's in my mind most of the time? Every time I read the papers, watch the news on TV or browse some internet portals, this topic will be there and it's appearing more regularly. And I can't even do anything about it unless humans come together. My gosh.... the worst thing is that there is still a sizable group of people who are adamant about its effect.
I'm talking about the global warming effect by the way.
The group of people who don't believe in its effect will argue that this is a natural cycle of the planet that occurs every few thousand years and we are happening to be stepping onto it at the right time.

Great blog about Maria Duval
Today I happened to make a search a Google and came across this blog, Tribute to Maria Duval, which I think whose owner is a fellow Kiwi. I see that this blog is excellent well planned with a lot of information about Maria Duval and spirituality stuff. It's great to see the blogger is such a supporter of Maria just like many of us here.
True she's some bad vibes but I personally don't see anything wrong with her letters and offers. In fact I like her letters because I learn something from those too and I don't find them threatening or so.
The only bad stuff I wish to say about Tribute to Maria Duval is that the blog is simply toooooo wordy. Unless I find the information really interesting, I don't think I'll read every words, as you know, long sightedness is creeping into me.

'No but thanks.'
A corporate friend MSN'ed me to invite me to attend a $20 first-come-first-serve-limited-seats motivational talk by one of the 'gurus' out there, Stephen Pierce. Frankly, I don't like such events and I have never heard of Mr Pierce before therefore I rejected him. Googling the name of Mr Pearce but I wasn't able to find any related information about him too. Search engine is powerful but this time it doesn't know exactly what I wanted. Anyone has heard of Stephen Pierce before? Please pardon me if he is a famous guy and I don't know him.
I do read some motivational books on and off however, I don't like to attend their seminars because these are usually lead-in seminars where they will try to pressure you subliminally to buy their training courses after talking to you for an hour or so unless the speaker is Maria Duval. And these courses don't come cheap so I'd rather spend the money in some other spiritual courses which I'm passionate in.

The Essence of Chi
I am reading a book from Maria Duval and I find it very informative.
The source of all things is the cosmic energy that fills the universe. This energy is know as 'Chi' (life essence).
Maria Duval adds that our basic constitution as an individual is determined by chi that we receive at the moment of our conception which depends on the age and health of our parents and the circumstances of our birth.
This prenatal chi is stored in the area of kidneys cannot be increased at all. A life that is highly abused can decrease this chi while a healthy life can preserve it.
In addition, Maria Duval teaches that there is also this post-natal chi that constitutes a constant input of cosmic energy. This is the chi that we receive from the Earth via the food we eat and the air from which we breath. This chi can be increased by an art of living based on principles of everyday hygiene.
Maria Duval is able to teach you how you can develop your post-natal chi and preserve your pre-natal chi through various practical ways in which you can implement it daily.

Reiki ended
The reiki lessons has just ended and we thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. The one we just attended was just the basic level so now my wife and I can be regarded as some rookie reiki disciples. The good thing about reiki is that it greatly reduces your stress and makes you more aware to your own spirituality.
We plan to attend the intermediate level however the price of it is really not cheap! The money can be better used for other purposes like a family outing, meals or even attend new courses like NLP or Yoga!
From the sports arena, New Zealand beat England in the Cricket World Cup and this got me really exhilarated because we are the underdogs here.
