10 Secrets To Abundant Health (Part 6)

Secret 9 - The Power of Faith

Wherever there is faith, there is life!

Faith is the truth you pursue of all things in life, evidents that are not yet discover. Faith is the belief of your mind. It is the solution to all things, the hopes of all expectations, and the light at the end of the tunnel. Faith is a force that can shift a mountain.

Faith can be found in daily living, in our heart and in the ultimate power above. Although many medical professionals ridicules this saying, but it is a fact that these professionals refuse to see and acknowledge.

Faith is the bridge that links our soul with the higher power, power that is even stronger than our thoughts.

We need to have faith in the ultimate power that created our universe. People give it different names in the like of god, lord, infinite intelligence, etc.. whatever we call it is not important, what's important is having faith in such power that is much stronger than ourselves.

To achieve abundant health, not only do we need nutrients for our body, we also need nutrients for our mind and soul.

Faith is the reason for those "hopeless" patients to recover from their illnesses. Doctors call it a miracle, but the miracle is the result of the patient's faith.

The opposite of faith are doubts, fears, worries and sadness. All these are destroyers of health. This may be the reason why those people with faith are healthier than others, and recover faster when fallen sick.

Faith itself is useless without actions. If you do not change your lifestyle, and live in harmony with the natural earth, all faith in the world will not be able to help you, because nothing in this world can escape the control and influences of the universe.

Faith is totally not related to religion! The creator of the universe is the creator of everything, it does not belongs to a certain groups of people. Remember, faith is something that exists inside you, you just need to go and find it. Some times we are lucky as it always come with some events, for example, a crisis! =)



Secret 8 - The Power of Love

In the ancient scriptures, love is the most powerful forces in the universe. Love has the ability to overcome everything.

There is a true story of a traveler, who went traveling to the icy grassland in North America that are covered with snow. One day, this traveler was stuck in a snow storm between 2 villages. He was cold and exhausted, and not able to move 1 more step, he lied down and prepare to die.

But then he heard the sound of a little girl crying, he pushed himself up, crawl towards the sound, and finally found the little girl lying in the snow. He held the girl tightly in his chest, using his body to give her warmth. He decided to save this little girl. After walking for about 100 feet, they came to a little hut which belongs to the little girl. This traveler had not only saved the life of the little girl, he had saved his own life too.

This is what we call true love. Love without conditions, without asking for returns, and when we are helping other people, we are helping ourselves.

There are many laws in the universe, and the greatest of them all is the law of love. Because love is strongest and everlasting. With love, we can overcome all adverse circumstances, difficulties and illnesses. It is the most important condition to win the battle against illnesses.

Love is very important to health, as it is essential factor of life. Without it, life will lost its direction and meanings. Hatred, selfish, anger are all opposite of love, and these will create toxins in our body and harms us just like chemical toxins.

People with love recovers faster from illnesses. This is because when we feel love, our white blood cells will increase, special hormones will be released, helping us battle stress and pains, and as a result, patient's condition will improve. Few years ago, a hospital in London did an experiment to prove the effect of love on recovery. The night before patients went for their operation, the doctor in charge will visit each of them and explain to them the operation procedures. During this experiment, the doctor while talking to the patients, he must held their hands, and show them more concerns and cares. The results proven that those patients that are given more concerns and cares recovered on average 3 times faster than other patients.

We always receive love when we give. Therefore, we feel good when we help someone without conditions. The more we give, the more we receive. And with love, we can have abundant health.

10 Secrets To Abundant Health (Part 5)

Secret 7 - The Power of Posture

The design of our body is not suitable for long hours of sitting.

Your postures - the way you stand, the way you sit, the way you walk and all other postures are closely related to your health.

The systems and organs in our body require 2 things to function properly and healthily.
1. Good blood circulation
2. Good Nerve conduction

Blood transports nutrients and oxygen to all parts of our body, and cleanse our body systems while Nerve conduction is a must for igniting energy. Without one of them, our body systems will start to rot away. And posture controls the blood and nerve circulation in our body, as bad posture will block our blood and nerve circulation through pressures from badly positioned muscles and joints.

Looking at our spine, there are many blood vessels that went through them, and if we are not sitting in a proper posture or bend our back, these blood vessels will be squeezed and body systems and organs that depends on these vessels will be starved of the necessary oxygen and nutrients.

Therefore, bad posture will weaken the chest muscles, causing respiratory diseases. And weak abdominal muscles will affect the digestive systems to properly function, and often causing indigestion.

Posture not only affects our health, it also affects our moods.

How we stand usually will affect our mood. When a person is depress, his shoulder will drop and his back slightly bend, and eyes are looking down. Once we understand the connection between posture and mood, we can change our postures to control our moods and overcome depression. Postures alone cannot cure depression, but by changing to a posture of a confident and happy person, it helps to make the person feels better.

The first step to correcting our postures is self conscious! When you are aware of the importance of postures, you body will instinctively adjust itself to a better posture. A healthy posture cannot be forced. It must be natural and relaxed. When you lift your head, your shoulder and knees should be relaxed and not locked.

To cultivate having healthy postures, we must start with self conscious. Always be aware of our standing, sitting and walking postures, and start taking notice of your habits, and whenever you realized you are in a bad postures, take a deep breath and imagine you are slowly being pulled and straightened by a strength. Self conscious and correcting bad habits are very important.

The secret to correct posture is Balance.

Exercising over long term that uses only one side of your body will hurt our postures and causes unbalance. Tennis is a good example of imbalance as it only uses one hand to play. Parents who carry their baby in one hand is another example. Therefore, in order to have a correct and balance posture, we must correct the imbalance part. If we always play tennis, at the end of the game, we must stretch our shoulder to the opposite direction, if we always carry our baby in one hand, then we must always change and use the other hand.


Secret 8 - The Power of Environment

Fresh air, natural sunlight and low radiation are healthy environment a human body needs.

Our office are full of electronic devices in the like of computers, artificial lightings, projectors, air conditioners and others which emit high level of radiation and created unhealthy and unnatural working environment.

If we desire health, then we must create a healthy environment. We must ensure that our working, sleeping and living environments are healthy.

Fresh Air
Let's start with fresh air. We can go weeks without foods, few days without water, but we cannot survive without oxygen for a few minutes. But, a lot of people are working in air-conditioned offices and factories where the stale air is being recycled over and over again. How can we be healthy in such environment? We must open our windows and let the fresh air come in.

If your office is full of pollutants and chaotic, and outside are filled with smoke and dust, then you can either change your job, ask your boss to provide a air freshener or continue to suffer and breath in rotten and stale air.

Sunlight
It is a fact that we need sunlight to live. But in this world, anything that is overdose is harmful to our body. If we are exposed under intense sunlight for too long, there is a chance of getting sunburn, aging and even skin cancer.

Without sunlight, our body cannot produce Vitamin D, and without vitamin D, we cannot metabolic our calcium and therefore not able to manufacture bones and teeth. Without sunlight, the pineal gland will unable to operate, and pineal gland is extremely small but very important gland in our brain. It helps to adjust the density of our blood sugar and influence our hormone and mood.

Electromagnetic Radiation
Some components in the electromagnetic radiation from electrical devices like computer, projectors and others are harmful to our health. More and more signs have demonstrated that radiation amount not only related to migraine and skin cancer, it is even related to leukemia, unable to conceive and other cancers.

If you cannot bring your working environment into the nature, you can bring nature into your working environment! Open your windows to allow better lighting in the room, and grow some plants at your workplace.

Plants are the best environmental cleaning machine! According to research from NASA, it is proven that leaves and roots from normal household plants can absorb majority of the toxins and pollutants in the air, and at the same time absorb and remove excessive radiation matter.

Other than our own environment, we must bring the nature back to our world, and create a healthy living environment for our next generations.

10 Secrets To Abundant Health (Part 4)

Secret 5 - The Power of Laughter

Laughter is best medicine to cure illnesses and removes pain.

When we are laughing, our brain releases a chemical "endorphin" which is a natural pain killer, and it also improves our immune system. Laughing can strengthen our breathing, and let our heart and lungs practice absorbing more oxygen, and having enough oxygen is very beneficial to our body.

Furthermore, laugh can help the movement of intestines, and circulate blood to all important organs.

Researches have shown that after a person has laughed, it is easier for him to concentrate, and laughing is also very efficient in reducing stress.

When you are under stress, try to look around for something that is interesting and will make you laugh. In our life, whatever we look for, we will receive it. If you look for miracles, you will be walking towards a miraculous life, but if you always think of disasters, your life will be full of them.

Everybody has experience of very depress and unhappy incident, but a few months later he can look back and joke about it to his friends. If you can laugh at the incident a few months later, why can't you see the funny side of it right at that moment when it happens? Life is like a movie, whether it is a comedy or tragedy depends entirely on YOU the director!



Secret 6 - The Power of Resting

Resting allows your body, psychology and spirit to recover. It is impossible to receive abundant health if your brain and body do not receive sufficient rest. This is a simple and yet often neglected fact.

Everything on earth, from animals, plants and even a plot of plantation requires rest. But we human always busy with our work, the pressures and stress are accumulated everyday until we always feel tired and prone to illnesses.

Proper rest in both Physiology and psychology is the fundamental of a healthy living.

It is scientifically proven that if we are relax both physically and mentally, it can reduce our body oxygen requirement by about 50%, reduce the work burden of our heart by about 30%, and at the same time reduce our high blood pressure. The research has also pointed out that after we rest, both the alertness and reaction in our brainwave will improve, and short term and long term memory also improve significantly.

A good quality sleep can reduces the possibility of headache, increases stamina and improves health condition. Therefore rest is very important in improving our family and social relationship, and even more so on personal health.

In order to receive a good rest, you must learn to relax your brain. Everyday, we must find time to stop everything we are doing, and did some pondering, contemplating and relaxes. Usually, it is difficult for most people to continuously working for more than 1 hour without losing their concentration. Therefore, every hour of working, we should give ourselves a 10 minutes break, so that our tired body and mind can relax. This is both good for our health and our work.

Sleeping is very important, and even if you sleep a lot, it does not mean you are resting well. Everybody needs 6-8 hours of sleep everyday. But a proper rest requires peaceful and Tranquil attitude, or else your brain will still keep disturbing you even when you are sleeping. Many people worry about small and insignificant things, and this will affect our rest.

There are 2 steps method that can help you to stop worrying and enter the world of tranquility.

Step 1 - Do not worry about small things in life.
Step 2 - Everything in life is small thing.

Whenever you feel stressed or tensed up, you can ask yourself this question. "In 10 years time, will anybody still cares about it?" If the answer is nobody, then this is a small thing, therefore, you should not waste time worrying about it!

Another method to ensure you have enough rest is, for every 7 days, 1 day must be used specifically for resting. This day, you must forget everything in the office, your bills or even social threats. This day is for you to enjoy with your family, release the tension that have been accumulated for the past 6 days, and have a good rest!

One more method to help you relax is Deep Breathing. The benefits of deep breathing includes helping the brain and body to relax.

All these are fundamentals of having a good rest.

10 Secrets To Abundant Health (Part 3)

Sorry guys, supposed to write this early, but too many unforeseen circumstances has resulted in the delay.

Meanwhile, I am changing the title of all the secrets, not drastically, just change the word secret to power, because after reading the story again, I realized it is more accurate to use "The Power of Nutrition" instead of "The Secret of Nutrition".


Secret 4 - The Power of Nutrition

To have abundant health, you must watch what you eat, how you eat and when you eat. You need abundant source of nutrition, to have abundant health.

1st rule to Healthy Eating - Choose Foods That Are Whole, Fresh And Non-processed.

Good nutrients are like building a house, do not get materials from bits and pieces from everywhere.

Processed foods are foods that have all its nutrients taken out, for example, white bread, white sugar and even those breakfast cereal. Most vitamins, nutrients are being removed or destroyed during the processing， leaving only sugar and starch. Although advertisement always indicated their foods are full of vitamins, what they actually did was removing all the natural nutritious ingredients, and then add in artificial vitamins into the food.

In order to receive other important nutrients which is lacking in these foods, our body will have to extract them from our own bones and systems. In the long run, our body will be depleted of all the important nutrients. Therefore, processed foods in actual fact are robbing necessary valuable resources from our body.

Non-processed foods are fruits and vegetables; Whole grain foods in like of brown rice, whole grain bread, barley, oats etc as well as beans, nuts and seeds. All these are basic healthy dietary foods, which is rich in Protein, Carbohydrate, Vitamins, Minerals and Fatty acids. If possible, organic foods are the best.

The 2nd rule to Healthy Eating - Good Nutrition Require Good Digestion.

Eating at the right time and right attitude is the key to good digestion. When you are eating, you should be in a relax mood. When you slowly chew your food, your mouth will secretes more saliva to help in breaking down the carbohydrate, and your stomach acid will be produced more easily to digest the grain type of foods.

But the most important key to healthy digestion is the time you eat. Our body Metabolism rate is much slower at night than in the day, which means that the amount of calories burn at night is lesser. That's why you put on more weight from eating large amount of food at night than in the day. Going deeper, if you eat late at night, you will not be able to get good quality sleep because your digesting system has to work over night, and your brain has to emit signals to your intestines to produce chemicals necessary for digestion, and therefore not able to rest.

When you are tired or very stressed up, your digesting system cannot function properly, and therefore it is not a good time to eat.

The 3rd rule to Healthy Eating - Never Eat Too Full!

Too much foods in your stomach will greatly reduce the efficiency of your digestion, and too much calories will produce excess fats, which in turns will caused your heart and joints to be overly burdened.

The 4th rule to Healthy Eating - 70% of What You Eat Must Be Food With More Water

Eat foods that have more water such as fruits. Earth is made up of 70% water, and human body is also made up of 70% water, so isn't it making sense to take in 70% of foods that have more water? Only water from foods are pure and clean, and not contaminated like our daily drinking water. Therefore, drinking more water is not as good as taking in foods with more water.

The 5th rule to Healthy Eating - Avoid The Five Cells Terminator.

Cells Terminator are foods that are harmful to your health, because they will destroy the cells in your body. You must avoid eating these foods, the lesser you eat, the more beneficial it is to your body.


Cells Terminator 1 - Processed Sugar

Sugar can easily destroy your teeth, and worse, it will deplete your body's important resources and damage your immune system. 6 teaspoons of sugar will reduce the number of white blood cells by 25%. The more sugar you eat, the more white blood cells that fight the germs in your body will be destroyed.

Sugar often takes the form of other foods in the like of candies, chocolates, cold drinks, pastries and biscuits. Even canned fruits and vegetables have sugar added.


Cells Terminator 2 - Chicken, Duck, Fish and Red Meat

There are repeated warnings from some researches that consumption of meat is the main cause of chronic diseases. Today almost all our meat are from animals that are raised in factories. These animals never see the daylight, and are injected with Antibiotic to prevent diseases spreading, fed with hormones for faster growth and as a result, meat from these animals are filled with all sorts of chemicals and toxins.

Organic meat are better than normal meat, but still unhealthy. Meat contains very high saturated fats which will caused the red blood cells to become sticky and block the arteries.

Contrary to common belief, meat does not give you energy. Our body required burning Carbohydrate to produce energy, but meat contains very little Carbohydrate. Instead, it contains a lot of fats and protein, and excess protein in our body produces excess Nitrogen which causes a person to become tired.

Furthermore, contrary to popular belief that meat strengthen our bones, those people who consumes a lot of meat have bones that are more fragile. This is because meat contains a lot of uric acids. Our body can remove about 8 grains of uric acids everyday, but a quarter pounder burger already contains 16 grains of uric acids. These excess uric acids will cause gout and absorb calciums from your bones.

Fish is better than meat, but it is no longer healthy food. Now our oceans are so contaminated that a government has announced that half of its fishes are found to have mutated cells. And those fishes that are rear in fish farms are just like those animals raised in factories. They are fed with antibiotics, hormones and chemicals to make their color brighter.


Cells Terminator 3 - Dairy products

There are 20% of population that is not capable of producing our own Lactase, and therefore these people are not able to breakdown the sugar in the milk - Lactose. At the same time, every 4 out of 5 person are allergy to casein.

Dairy products are the most destructive foods you ever eat. They will create large amount of sticky substance in your body, and these sticky substance will form a layer of blockage in your stomach and intestines, and this will affects the nutritions to pass through. These sticky substance will also accumulate in the lungs and easily causes breathing problems including Bronchitis and asthma. And the large amount of fats in dairy products will cause heart related illnesses.

The calcium in diary products usually cannot be properly absorbed by our body, and often accumulated at our joints and causes Arthritis. If accumulated at the arteries walls, it will caused the hardening of the arteries.

Human can received calciums from vegetables and grains. A glass of crushed Cauliflower contains more calcium than a glass of milk.


Cells Terminator 4 - Refined salt

Human body requires sodium, which can be found in a lot of vegetables and fruits, for example, tomatoes, Celery, Spinach, Sea cabbage, carrot and even strawberry.

Too much sodium is harmful. Most people have consume too much sodium from refined salt. For example, your body requires about 3000 mg of sodium, depending on your living habits, because you may lose a lot of sodium through sweating. But 1 teaspoon of refined salt contains about 2000 mg of sodium! In the long run, if a person consumes a lot of canned foods and processed foods, he will be absorbing 4-5 times more sodium than required.

Refined salt is inorganic sodium, which went through processing and bleaching. If you need to consume salt, go for sea salt as it is unprocessed and not bleached, and contains a lot of important minerals and elements our body required.

Overdose of salt will restrict oxygen from entering our body's cells, and increase the risk of high blood pressure. This is the reason why patients with heart, liver and lungs problems are prescribe with low salt diet by their doctors.


Cells Terminator 5 - Tea, Coffee and Liquor

Tea, coffee and liquor are stimulants that are harmful to our body. Both tea and coffee contain Caffeine that is addictive. The amount of caffeine in 2 cup of tea or coffee is enough to stimulate your brain and causes blood sugar to level to rise. Initially you will feel alert, but soon after your blood sugar will drop to very low and you will feel more and more tired.

If you notice, a few cups of tea and coffee will causes you to become easily nervous, heart beats faster and sometime even causes your hands to shake! Caffeine not only stimulate your nervous system and increase blood sugar level, it also causes blood pressure to increase, damage intestines, harms your kidney, and burns away all the vitamin B that are stored in your body.

Research has shown that caffeine is one of the main factor for allergy reaction, which includes losing sleep, headaches, nervous, anxious and skin allergy. Tea has another medicinal ingredient that will hinder body's absorption of iron, and resulted in Anemia.

Low amount of tea and coffee is harmless to our body. But if more than 2 cups a day, it will start hurting our body.


~~~~~~~~~

Wow... this is by far the longest and hardest Secret translation I have done. It took me 6 hours!!! It must be my perfectionism acting up again. But after reading again, it is important to do a thorough translation as each paragraph is equally important!

Chinese has a saying "Illness enter through our mouth", which really sums up this 4th secret.

This secret has highlighted many misconception we have on foods, and I did a further research on the internet on what it says about meat and diary products, and it is true! Let's us all improve our diet, and avoid the 5 scary Cells Terminator!!!

10 Secrets To Abundant Heath (Part 2)

Wow.. I just realized that Part 1 of 10 Secrets To Abundant Health is my 100th post! This is amazing, imagine when I just started this blog, I was afraid that I have nothing to post!

Now this is my 101 post, let's see when I will reach my 200th post! yeah!!

And the only way to find out whether it is true is... yes you are right.. just do it!

Cheers!


~~~~~~~~~~~~

Secret 3 - The Power of Exercise

Aerobic exercise refers to exercise that is of moderate intensity, undertaken for a long duration. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in a muscle's energy-generating process. Quick walk, jogging, cycling and swimming are good example of aerobic exercise.

Regular Aerobic exercise will lower your blood pressure and also reduce the cholesterol level in the blood. Furthermore, exercise will improve the joints movement, prevent arthritis and keep the bones healthy.

Long time without exercising will cause the muscles to shrink, poor blood circulation and causes the calcium in the bones to be drained away and resulted in Osteoporosis.

Exercise is also very important to our mental health. Most people do not know that, the less you exercise, the more you will become introvert, paranoid, stress and easily depressed. Our emotion is affected by our actions, and clinical trials had proven that exercise can help a person to release some of their distress, which includes tension and depression.

Before exercise, you must warm up to prevent injury. If you have not exercise for a long time, take it slowly, do not exercise too much, give your body time to adjust, and slowly increase the intensity over time.

Choose an exercise that you like, make yourself sweat and let your heart beat faster. Make your breathing deeper and faster. Do it everyday for at least 30 minutes and you will feel the difference within 10 days.


~~~~~~~~~

Today I can only managed to translate one secret. Sorry about that. There are too many terms that I need to search the internet for the correct words and in the end I took more than 1 hour just to finish this secret.

I will continue tomorrow. Meanwhile, remember to carry on with the breathing technique and start exercising everyday! (To be honest, exercise 30 minutes everyday is difficult for me, as I am already struggling for more time!)

Let's all lead a healthy lifestyle together!

Cheers!!

10 Secrets To Abundant Heath (Part 1)

Heath is the most important value to live an exceptional life. Without it, you cannot do anything even if you have millions of dollars, and health is the area I needed to work on most.

Everybody envy the healthy living that is full of energy. But with current level of medical science, why are there more and more terminal diseases appearing? Why are there so many people suffering from lifestyle illnesses? Other than the serious damaged environment we are living in, will it be possible that these are the results of people living against the harmony of nature?

From today onwards, I will be sharing the Secrets to abundant health, and let's applied these new learned knowledge and start living our healthy life we all deserved.


10 Secrets of Abundant Health by Adam J. Jackson

Secret 1 - The Power of Thoughts

All diseases originated from our thoughts, because your thoughts controlled your body.

Everyday we can see the effects of thoughts, e.g. Your face turns red when you are embarrassed, turns white when in shock, and when you are nervous, your palms will sweat and knees will knock!

Therefore, we can use visualization to control our thoughts, and use it to heal our body. The power of thoughts can overcome all pains, heals all illnesses, and helps you to create abundant health.

Example of visualization, a person with tumor in his brain can visualize the tumor in his head, then picture many little sharks eating away the tumor until it is completely gone. Repeat this every morning and night. You can use all kinds of visualization, you are only limited by your imagination.

There is another technique which is called the healing declaration. You declare the type of positive outcome you desire, and keep repeating this declaration over and over again everyday, until it is imprint in your mind and subconscious and becomes part of you.

By controlling your thoughts, and guiding them to the positive outcome, you will be able to cure all illnesses.


Secret 2 - The Power of Breathing

Deep breathing has great impact on our health. If you want to have a healthy body, you must learn how to breath correctly.

Breathing is necessary to sustain life. Our body can go without food for a week, few days without water, but without oxygen, we will die within minutes. Every breath we took in, we are helping our body to receive nutrients, as oxygen is the medium used in our bloodstream to transport nutrients to all parts of our body and produce energy. Therefore, to help our body to efficiently transport nutrients, we need to breath correctly.

Breathing also control our lymphatic system, which includes the white blood cells that are protecting our body against germs and virus. After the required nutrients are absorbed by our cells, the remaining toxins will be removed by our lymphatic system. There are 2 methods to improve the lymphatic system, and that is exercise and deep breathing. Research shows that with the combination of exercise and deep breathing, it can improve the efficiency of our lymphatic system by 15 times.

The following breathing technique is proven in clinical tests to having the most positive effect on improving our lymphatic system and blood circulation.

1. Breath in 1 beat
2. Hold your breath for 4 beat
3. Breath out in 2 beat

For example, if you takes 4 seconds to breath in, then you will hold your breath for 16 seconds, and use 8 seconds to breath out. Use this breathing method and repeat for 10 times. Do not force yourself, start with 3-4 seconds of breathing in, then slowly increase.

When you are breathing out, your lymphatic system is clearing the toxins in your body. And when you are holding your breath, it gives your blood ample time to fully oxidized and therefore give more energy to your lymphatic system.

~~~~~~~~~


Sorry to keep repeating, but knowledge is useless, until you applied them.

Therefore, if you are keen to have a healthy body, I strongly urge you to try out this 2 methods. It is simple and can be applied anywhere anytime, and both are literally "no harms trying"!

Cheers!

After Thoughts On My Secrets Translation

I used to think that translation is an easy task. You just need to read the articles, and change it to another language, how difficult can that be?

Only until I started translating Adam J Jackson's "Secret Collection" that I realized it is not that simple as I thought.

It took me at least one and a half hour to translate 3 secrets, and sometime it can takes up to 2 hour. Many times, I got stuck at words, my mind just went blank, and no matter how I tried, just cannot find the correct words to translate. Other times, the translated sentence just sound weird, or not entirely same with the original sentences.

Guess these translations have taken a toll on me, as I usually reached home around 11pm, and after showering and clearing my emails, I have to work late into the night to do the translation, so that I can share the valuable knowledge.

Nonetheless, I am determine to finish sharing all the 4 secrets,
1. Secret of Love
2. Secret of Happiness
3. Secret of Health
4. Secret of Wealth

Now I am half way through, I will start on the other 2 secrets real soon. But as not to over tax myself, I decide to make it 1 or 2 secrets for each blog post, so that I will not spend more than 1 hour on my blog.

The good news is, I can do a more frequent and regular post of the secrets as I do not need to ensure I have 2 hours before I can start writing my blog.


So check back my blog often as I will share the Secrets to Abundant Health next.

Cheers!

10 Secrets To Abundant Happiness (Part 3)

Secret 7 - The Power of Forgiveness

A person will never be happy if he cannot forgive. Forgiveness is the key to open the door of happiness.

The passes of time will makes the anger and pain fades away, but unless you are ready to forgive, or else it can never be released from deep within your soul. The key to forgiveness is not the passes of time, but in understanding.

Try to look at the situation from the other person's perspective, everybody makes mistakes, to human is to err. If you are having hatred and unhappiness inside, the only person that will suffer is you and not the other person. You are the one who will be unhappy and even having high blood pressure because of it!

Mistakes and Failures are lessons of life, forgive yourself, forgive others.

Remember the prayer of the Indiana tribe, "Oh the almighty spirit! Let me do not judge, criticize a person, unless I have worn his deer skin shoes for more than 2 weeks."


Secret 8 - The Power of Giving

There is a saying "What else are there to the meaning of life if a person lost his soul?"

Receiving, Pursuing and Achieving will not give you happiness. Happiness can only be found from giving and providing.

Everybody has experience of helping someone without any motives or expecting any rewards, even if it is a small gesture of pointing a direction to someone who has lost his way, or helping a blind man cross the street, or giving someone honest and sincere suggestion, etc... and you feels good inside after helping, not just because the person thanks you, but because we naturally feel good when we help a person.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. When you are helping others, you are at the same time reducing your own problems and burden. The more we give, the more we will receive.

Therefore, always look for opportunity to help others, do something for them, so that you can receive even more happiness!


Secret 9 - The Power of relationships

Relationship is love without conditions. Without relationship, life will be empty. We need to speak, communicate and feels needed. We all need each other.

The quality of your relationship is the quality of your life!

When you are with your loved ones, you will feel happier during happy moments, and when you are down and depress, they will make you feel better. For example, you always feel better after telling somebody your problems, even if the other person does not offer any suggestions or helps.

Nobody can endure isolation. We all need relationships. Relationships enrich our life, and when you share happiness, you will receive more happiness, and when you share problems, it will makes the problems less painful.

Treat everyone as if you will never going to see them again. For example, if you think that you will never going to see your wife or girlfriend again, will you let her go without kissing or hugging them?? Will you say goodbye to her without resolving your quarrels? Will you let her leave without telling her how important she is to you? For your family and friends and colleagues, if you know that you will not going to see them again, will you try your best to make it amiable? Will you try to avoid leaving with a sour relationship with them?

Do not leave regrets.


Secret 10 - The Power of Confidence

Confident is the foundation of Happiness.

Whatever you do, you must have confidence in yourself and others. For example, when you are driving, you must have confidence in your car's engine to be working fine, while you are on the road, you must have confidence in your own driving skills, and at the same time, you must have confidence in other road users to be driving carefully, we must have a lot of confidence just to drive a car! Therefore just to live our life without fears and anxieties, we need to have a lot of confidences!

There is one confident that we need most, and that is faith.

Faith gives you hopes and courage. It is the trust in the unknown, the belief and confidence that helps you tide over crisis and calamities, give you the strength to overcome uncertainties, anxiety, fear, depression and gives you the inner peace.

Therefore believe and trust that there is someone up there who is always looking after you.

There is only 1 person who can makes you happy or unhappy, and that person is YOU!

10 Secrets To Abundant Happiness (Part 2)

Hi guys, hope you all have benefit much from the first 3 secrets of Abundant Happiness. Today I like to continue with the next 3 secrets. Do give me your comments ya.


Secret 4 - The Power of Body

Movement Affects Emotion.

When you are feeling depress, the best method to make yourself feels better is GOYB (Get Off Your Backside) When you are doing something else, it brings your thoughts away from the problem and change your feelings towards it.

Exercise can relief stress and at the same time release a chemical that makes a person feels happy. Therefore, exercise regularly everyday for 30 minutes will makes you a happier person!

Your posture will affects your feelings, and correct posture will create the element for happiness. Emotions and postures affect each other. When you are feeling down, your shoulder will slump. A simple change of posture by pulling back the shoulder will immediately makes you feels better!

You can use anchoring to link to happy feelings. Think of a happy moment in the past, and when you are feeling the joy and happiness of that moment, do a simple action, e.g. pulling your left ear. Then repeat this process many times. This exercise helps to link the happy feelings with your action of pulling your left ear. So next time whenever you pull your left ear, you will be reminded of the happy feelings and immediately feels better.

Foods affect our ways of feeling. Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol as they are stimulants that makes us feels depress. Sweet stuff like white bread, cakes and chocolate, due to the large amount of sugar will make us feel easily tired and angry. Artificial additives will makes us feel depress as well. Eat large amount of fresh fruits, vegetables and those unshelled grains and nuts.

One important ingredient for having good mood is sunlight! Without sunlight, people will get depress easily. Therefore if possible, go into the sun for 1 hour everyday.


Secret 5 - The Power of Goals

Goals give our life meaning and direction. Only after we have goals can we focus on pursuing our happiness and instead of avoiding our pains.

Goals give us the motivation to wake up in the morning. It makes difficult periods of our life easier to endure and pass, while making our happy times more enjoyable!

We can use the "Rocking Chair" technique to help us decide our life goals. "Rocking Chair" technique is to imagine that when you are very old, and sitting on the rocking chair thinking back your whole life, what do you wish to remember? What are the things that you wanted to accomplish? What are the places you wanted to have visited? What kind of relationship do you enjoyed? And the most important is, what kind of person do you wish to be?

Write down all your long term and short term goals. Read them once first thing in the morning when you wake up! Read them again during daytime, and one more time before you go to sleep at night. Repeat everyday!

Remember to repeat the "Rocking Chair" technique exercise every 2 years to ensure that your goals are still valid.


Secret 6 - The Power of humor

Humor can release tension ,reduce our stress and create the happy feeling.

Laugh can increase our level of focus and improve our ability to solve problems. Manilan University once did an interesting experiment. 2 groups of people were given some problems to solve. Before they were given the test, one group was asked to watch a 30 minutes educational video, while the other group was asked to watch a 30 minutes comedy. At the end of experiment, the group that watched the comedy solved their problems on average 3 times faster than the other group!

For any experience, if you insist on finding an interesting aspect of it, you will find it. Do not ask "how scary is this experience?", instead ask yourself "How interesting is this experience?" or "How interesting can this experience be?"

There are incidents when at the time that it happened, you felt angry and embarrassed. But few weeks later, you can joke about it to your friends. Therefore, if you can find the interesting and funny part of the incident few weeks later, why not find it immediately?

There is a 2 steps secret recipe to reduce stress. Stage 1 is, do not worry about small issues. And step 2 is, almost everything is small issue! ;P


~~~~~~~~~

Having a healthy body, a clear set of goals and having sense of humor are today's secrets to abundant happiness. Remember, reading these secrets will not make you a happy person, only if you GOYB and starting practicing them then you will become a happier person!

Cheers!

10 Secrets To Abundant Happiness (Part 1)

Whenever we asked someone what he wanted most from life, often the answer is "Happiness". And yet, there are so many unhappy souls out there.

Everyday we are stress with our work, our relationship and our finance.

The 10 Secrets of Abundant Happiness shares the secrets that help us lead a happy life. It isn't that difficult to be happy, as long as we learn and practice the secrets.


10 Secrets of Abundant Happiness by Adam J. Jackson

Secret 1 - The Power of Attitude

When we are growing up, we are always negative or pessimistic towards problems we encountered, and this will resulted in our unhappiness. For example, we are always taught to be prepared for the worst case scenario for anything we do, so that we will not be too disappointed if the result is not what we expected.

But when you are focusing on the worst scenario, you will most likely ended up with what you have been focusing, the worst scenario.

External materials like Money, Properties, Cars and Reputations are not related to happiness, only our Attitude Towards Life determine whether we are happy or not. Therefore we do not need to be richer to be happier, we just need to change our attitude.

Happiness is a choice, we just need to choose to be happy. Every experience has its negative and positive sides, and we have to focus on the positive.

When you encounter problems or having stress, ask yourself this 3 questions
1. What is the best thing about this problem?
2. Are there any rooms for improvement to make it even better?
3. How do I savage this problem and find happiness in the process?

Gratitude is the seed for happiness. To be truly happy, we must feel gratitude.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your thoughts and not the environment. Therefore, you can control your happiness by controlling your thoughts.



Secret 2 - The Power of Living In The Present

Happiness is not found by searching it for years, months, weeks or even days. It is found at that particular moment in life. When you laugh or smile, that very moment is the moment when you are feeling the happiness. Unlike money, computers, cars, jewelry where all these can be easily duplicated, a happy moment captured by photograph can never be reproduced.

Our memories are made up of many special moments piece together. Therefore do our best to collect more of such special moments, so that we can have a very happy sweet memories.

Living in the present can help you overcome anxiety, remove unnecessary worries and reduce stress. You only focus on the task on hand right now, you do not think of past mistakes, neither do you think of all the possible outcomes, therefore you do not get distracted and worry unnecessary.

Therefore, to lead a happy perfect life, just focus on making every moment of life worthwhile.

Remember, everyday is a new beginning, a new life!



Secret 3 - The Power of imagination

You are only as old as you think you are!

You are what you think you are! If you are not happy with yourself, then you will be unhappy for the rest of your life. Therefore, if you want to have a happy life, you have to be happy with yourself first! Ask yourself what are your favorite features? Or what are the things that you are good at?

Everybody is unique and special. Do not forget that we are all champions as we beat 3 billions other competitors to get born into this world! :P

Others are like a mirror to us. We always perceive ourselves from how the others view us. But remember this, they are distorted mirrors. What we see through them are distorted due to their perception, bias and unfair judgment. Therefore, do not be affected by their skewed perception of you!

To overcome the negative values and conflicting feelings of yourself, and to create positive self image, you must first find out the origins of these problems, and whether they are true. Try to change and correct those negativities that are true.

Everyday, recite to yourself the positive affirmation, telling yourself what you wish to become. Then behave as if you are what you have been wishing.

10 Secrets To Abundant Love (Part 3)

Today I will share the last 4 secrets of abundant love. I hope that these 10 secrets that I shared from the book of "10 Secrets To Abundant Love" will help you find your true love and have a lasting and loving relationship. ^_^


Secret 7 - The Power of Communication

The biggest problem that most people had is not because they cannot love, but because they do not know how to express and communicate their love.

Once we learned how to openly and sincerely communicate, our whole life will change. If you love someone, go and communicate with her. Let them know that you love them, and you are grateful to them. Never ever be afraid to say out this 3 words "I LOVE YOU".

Always grab the chance to praise her whenever you can. Always tell your loved ones that you love them before leaving, because you never know that this might be your last time seeing them.


Secret 8 - The Power of Commitment

If you want to receive everlasting abundant love, you have to be committed to it. Whether you are committed to a relationship reflected in your thoughts and actions.

Every relationship have their good times and bad times. When going through the bad times, only commitment and promises will give them the strength to overcome all the obstacles and problems. Therefore commitment is the test of true love.

If you want a successful relationship, you have to commit to it and put it in the most important position, in front of your money and career. No matter how fierce and heated is your argument, break up will NEVER be considered or even mentioned. It is just like the love of a mother to her child, she will never ask "Will I still love my child tomorrow?", because her love is forever, committed, and stop loving is never an option.

Therefore, once you have decided to commit to a relationship, you have no option to give up!


Secret 9 - The Power of Passion

Passion ignite the flame of love and keep it burning.

A lasting passion does not only come from the physical attraction, but also comes from the deeper level of commitment, cares, interests and excitement!

You can recreate the passion that was lost over time in your relationship. Passion comes from your thoughts and feeling in things that you are interested in. When you are deeply interested or admire certain thing, it will bring out the passion in you. Which means that, in a relationship, there are personality and characteristic of your partner that deeply attracted you, so find them!!

To create passion, recall those passionate experience both of you shared, and recreate the experience. You might go back to the restaurant that you two first time met, or go to the beach where you always date last time. You can also give little pleasant surprises to your partner every now and then, and do something that she likes. You will realized that she will start to reciprocate and giving you little nice surprises also, and soon your relationship will be full of pleasant surprises.

Lastly, genuinely take notes and care about the little details of your partner's daily life, how's her day, what she has been doing, etc.. when 2 persons start caring for each other, it will bring out the passion in the relationship.


Secret 10 - The Power of Trust

Trust is the fundamental element of a loving relationship. Without trust, people will become overly suspicious, nervous and afraid. And at the same time, feels like being trapped and emotionally suffocating.

Unless you can completely trust a person, you will never be able to love them wholeheartedly. Therefore, you must behave and treat your partner the way you treat her when you know that this loving relationship will last forever.

Not only must you completely trust your partner, you must completely trust and have faith in the relationship itself. Doubts will create unnecessary worries. So when you are considering whether to commit to a relationship, ask yourself this question "Do I trust her completely and will never regret?" Commit only if the answer is a firm YES!

10 Secrets To Abundant Love (Part 2)

Today I will continue with the next 3 secrets of Abundant Love. I use "he" as the 3rd person as it is easier to write this way, as in Chinese we do not separate the gender, but the secrets are for both gender.


Secret 4 - The Power of Friendship

If you want to find true love, you have to find true friendship first. True love should not only consist of Romance, but should also includes cares and being there for him.

Love is not staring into each other eyes, but looking out towards the same direction together. When you truly love a person, you must love him in person, and not only his appearance. Love prosper on the basis of friendship, and therefore if you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring in the friendship.

For a lasting love, friendship is the most important element. When you are having doubt whether he is the one you love, just ask yourself "Is he my best friend?", and if the answer is negative, then you have to seriously consider this relationship before you make a commitment.



Secret 5 - The Power of Touch

Touch is the strongest representation of Love. It can break the barrier of human interaction, and link 2 person closely together.

There was an interesting experiment done in London. Normally the night before a patient went for operation, the doctor would go to the patient and explain the operation procedures and answer their questions. In this experiment, the doctor would hold the hands of the patients when talking to them. Results showed that those patients that the doctor held their hands on average recovered 3 times faster than other patients.

The power of touch can heal a person physically and give warmth to their heart. And the moment you spread out your arms, you have at the same time open up yourself for embrace.



Secret 6 - The Power of Letting Go

If you love something, give it freedom. If it returns to your side, then it belongs to you. Otherwise, it does not belongs to you. Even in a very stable relationship, you still need to give each other personal spaces.

If we wanted to love how to love, we must first learn how to be forgiving, and at the same time, letting go all the hurts and pains we suffered in the past.

Love is to let go of our fear, our perception and our own limiting beliefs. We must learn to let go of our bias perception, to understand a person first before we judge them. Furthermore, we must let go of our ego. Ego is the biggest obstacle to a loving relationship. Why focus on winning an argument if it hurts the relationship? Sometimes it is better to be kind than to be right.

We also must learn to let go of our anger and hatred. The way to do it is to forgive. Everybody will makes mistakes in their life. Nobody is perfect. As we hope that others will forgive us for our mistakes, we should forgive others as well.


~~~~~~~~~

These are the next 3 secrets of abundant love. I will finished all the remaining 4 secrets in my next article.

Just to clarify, the little old china man is the fictitious character in the story book who appears to know everything, and helps the young man to find the secrets to Abundant love. He is mysterious as nobody knows who he is, and he always appear and disappear without leaving a trace. But he is ever so kind and loving.

10 Secrets To Abundant Love (Part 1)

Today I would like to share the first 3 secrets in Adam J. Jackson's "Secrets of Abundant Love". As my book is in Chinese, and I cannot find the details on internet, I will try my best to translate them back to English. If any of you have read the original English version, do not hesitate to correct me.


10 Secrets of Abundant Love by Adam J. Jackson


Secret 1 - The Power of Thoughts

Love starts from our thought. It does not happen by chance. It is our loving thought that creates the love experience and relationship, and we can become who we want to be.

You can change your negative thoughts on love by writing down the positive side of it and read it loud and firm everyday. If you love a person, you must put yourself in that person's shoes, understand his or her needs and wishes.

You must have a clear idea of how you want your future partner to be like. Is she tall or short? What hobbies does she has? Is she the sporty type? What religion does she has? If you do not have a clear idea, then you will be easily attracted by physical attraction and ended up with the wrong person.


Secret 2 - The Power of Respect

You will not be able to love without learning how to respect. And the first person you need to respect is YOURSELF! The first step to self respect is to ask yourself, "Which part of me is worth respecting or liking?" As long as you think hard enough, there will definitely be something about yourself that you feel good about.

Next is to respect others, especially those that you do not like. Ask yourself "which aspect of this person is worth my respect?" When you ask this question, more often than not, you will find one or two aspect of the person that worth your respect.

Therefore, only after you learned how to respect will you be capable of truly love a person.


Secret 3 - The Power of Giving

If you want to receive love, you must first give your love. The more you give, the more you will receive. When you smile at someone, the person will smile back at you. It is the same for love.

You must give your love wholeheartedly and without conditions. When you get into a relationship, ask yourself what can you give and do for her, and not asking what she can give or do for you.

The secret to happiness, longevity and love is to focus on what you can give.


That's the first 3 secrets to Abundant Love. Please feels free to comment and let me know what you think. Personally I love the story a lot, it touches my heart and I strongly recommend you to buy the book if possible, so that you can feel the love of the "Little Old China Man"!!

I will write the next other secrets in the coming days. Stay tune...
