			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Repeating Patterns Of Meaning<br />Numbers <br />Glancing at the clock may cause us to look again sometimes, especially when we notice that we’ve caught it at the same time over and over again. Maybe we see the same number pattern echoed everywhere we look—whether on license plates or appliances—over a period of hours or even days. When we accept that there are no coincidences, we know there is a message in the numbers for us, and we know to pay attention to the repeating patterns and search for their true meaning. </p>
<p>Numerology has its basis in the ancient world and tells us that each number carries its own vibration and symbolic significance. It can mark the stages of our soul’s evolution as we move from one frequency to the next. Repeating number patterns in our lives may call us to focus on certain aspects of our lives and rise to approach them from the best within us. Once we’ve recognized that there is something we must look more deeply into, we also must trust that we will be guided to the people and places that hold the right answers for us. </p>
<p>Numbers, as symbols, can carry personal meanings as well. We may have our own lucky number that has served us well throughout our lives and another that reminds us of certain events of significance. If these are the numbers that are appearing, it may be the right time to delve into the past for clues about how to handle a present situation. Many people are seeing 11:11 right now, which can be interpreted as an energetic gateway that has opened for you and is ready to manifest your thoughts into reality. Whatever explanations you receive about the numbers that are appearing everywhere you look, the important thing is to trust your own guidance as to what they are telling you. Each culture attaches different meaning to the numbers, so a Chinese interpretation may be different than an interpretation from Kabalah. It is up to us to use our intuition to see which is the best fit for us. If someone has an explanation that doesn’t feel right, then this is not the answer for you but! may be just a clue to keep you moving on the path. By paying attention to the numbers around us, we use them as tools to improve our connection to the universe and our awareness of our choices in life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I accept the perfection of all of my experiences. I know that I bring my unique essence of individuality to each experience. I embrace my uniqueness. I boldly express who I am. I realize I am the only “me” there is, so I give the world the gift of my authentic expression.</p>
<p>Today I accept that it’s okay to express in the way I do. I don’t try to fix myself. I rejoice in doing things just the way I do them. I embrace my unique gifts, talents and ways of expressing.</p>
<p>Today I listen to the call of my heart. I discern its meaning and act vigorously on anything that expresses more love, joy or another aspect of my divine nature. I live the life that fulfills life’s longing to be expressed uniquely as me.</p>
<p>Today I align my will with the will of my highest truth. I act only from the sense of fully authentic expression. Therefore, I am confident, strong and at peace with all of my choices and actions.</p>
<p>Today I choose love in all situations. I am guided into perfect understanding wherever I find it difficult to love. My capacity to love is unlimited because my nature is love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A slice of cut lemon rubbed immediately over a paan stain, and then washed, will leave the fabric free of all traces of the stain.</p>
<p>Heat used lemon peels in heavy iron skillets with some water and salt. Cover and allow to stand for an hour, before scouring gently with a soft steel scrubber and some dishwashing soap. The skillet will come out very clean.</p>
<p>Remove coffee stains from fabrics, sponge stained area with borax solution, and wash off with warm soapsuds. If stain is old and dried, loosen first with glycerin solution.</p>
<p>Remove grease stains. Put a few drops of methylated spirit on cotton wool and rub stain. If fresh, keep stained portion between layers of blotting paper, and rub gently with hot iron, so it absorbs the grease. Then wash with warm soapy water.</p>
<p>Rub slices of fresh cut raw potato over mud stains, allow to dry, then wash with detergent to remove effectively.</p>
<p>Try removing ball pen ink stains with nail polish remover. Dab over it and rub gently with cotton soaked in remover. Wash after drying, with mild detergent.</p>
<p>Use a dishcloth, which has been wetted with rubbing alcohol, to rub away stains caused by water in stainless steel sinks.</p>
<p>Rub cigarette ash (that doesn&#8217;t t mean YOU should smoke!!) over crayon stains on smooth surfaces. Wipe off the ash and the stain with it.</p>
<p>To remove lint from coats, trousers, etc. Take strips of wide white medical sticking tape. Place over lint-covered area sticky side down, press evenly. Peel off with a jerk. The lint will stick to the adhesive. Repeat several times with the same tape in other areas, till stickiness is not left.</p>
<p>To remove grease stains from fabrics. Soak stain in pure petrol. Allow to dry. Wash with soap and water as usual. Do not soak in soap.</p>
<p>To remove mud stains from clothes, soak and wash them in water collected after boiling potatoes.</p>
<p>To remove the stains of citrus fruit juices, especially of lemons from the floor, smear the stain with coconut oil and rub well. The stain will vanish within a few days.</p>
<p>Dirty collars &#8211; Brush shampoo into a dirty shirt-collar before running it through the washing machine. Well worth the extra effort.</p>
<p>Rain spots on satin, felt or similar fabrics will disappear if you brush them in a circular motion, using a soft ball of tissue paper.</p>
<p>Rub powdered borax on fruit stains, and then pour boiling water through the fabric before washing it.</p>
<p>Remove yellow food stains from tablemats, etc. by applying a paste of detergent and water to the stained areas and keep in the sun for an hour. Wash like your other laundry.</p>
<p>Mix spirit and milk in equal quantities, and wipe paint or ball pen stains from foam leather, like sofas, purses, etc. with ease.</p>
<p>Apply toothpaste on both sides of an ink-stain on cloth. Wash after dry.</p>
<p>Add a little alum to the last rinse water for cleaner, whiter white clothes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cleaning </p>
<p>Add lemon peel to a jar of castor sugar and close lid tightly. The sugar will have a beautiful mild lemony taste and smell to be used in pastries, cakes, puddings, etc.</p>
<p>To clean a pan or any other nonstick pan easily, without scraping, dump a few onion peels in it, add 1 tsp. vinegar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover and leave aside for 10 minutes, wash pan all over with this liquid, then wash with a mild detergent and sponge. Wipe clean and dry.</p>
<p>Wash ring bag, with contents intact, under running water to clean out completely. Then add it to your hot tub and bubble bath, run in contents in water, using sachet as a scrubber and letting lemony flavors into you bath water for invigorating and fresh feeling.</p>
<p>Always rinse containers in which sauces have been made, with some vinegar and hot water, to alleviate the sauce odours before using for another dish.</p>
<p>Always strain sugar or jaggery syrups before adding to sweets, so as to remove the muddy grains.</p>
<p>Use a soft nylon cloth to wipe away dirt stains from walls, painted furniture, electronic gadgets like TV sets, computers, etc. Take care to keep the cloth slightly moist.</p>
<p>Use old shaving brushes to clean insides of ovens, toaster, etc. to reach the difficult corners, crevices, etc.</p>
<p>Rinse glassware in a solution of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water after washing with soap. This will make the glassware gleam and clean.</p>
<p>Do not throw away the solid residue left after pressing out water from soaked tamarind. Mix in some salt and use to scrub copper and brassware to bring a shine. Follow with a normal soap wash.</p>
<p>Clean stains from electronic items like TVs, computers, etc. with some cotton doused in spirit. Follow with a soft clean moist cloth, and finally a dry flannel cloth.</p>
<p>Rub mirrors with first wet and then dry newspaper. Crush into a loose ball and rub vigorously. The mirror will sparkle without leaving any wipe lines.</p>
<p>Always hold fresh vegetables under running water for a minute. After boiling and draining, to enhance their colour, eg. carrots, greens, peas, etc. Hold in a colander or strainer so that the water passes through.</p>
<p>Clean unreachable places and crevices in ovens and waffle trays etc. by using old toothbrushes dipped in soda bi-carb. Then wipe clean with a soft cloth.</p>
<p>Make a concentrated solution of bleaching powder and water. Apply on stained surfaces and washbasins in a bathroom (tiles, etc., not metallic), leave overnight. Wash clean with water next day. Will keep the bathroom sparkling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to cut some of the fat out of your frying.<br />For foods like gujias, samosas or puris, that are made of or have an outer covering/wrap of flour-dough and need deep-frying, prepare in advance and chill them in the refrigerator. This way when you do fry them they will consume less oil and therefore have a lower fat content!</p>
<p>Onions: <br />Chopped fine, sliced thin or ground to a paste, onions form the base of gravies, a complement to veggies or an important ingredient in salads. Chop, slice and grind them and freeze in labelled freezer bags. <br />That way when a recipe calls for onions you have them quickly at hand fat content!Get well browned onions quickly.</p>
<p>Most Indian recipes call for onions that need to be sautéd till light brown. To get this done quickly, just sprinkle a good pinch of salt on the onions (salt quantity for approximately 1 large onion) while browning and they will get done sooner. It is a good idea to brown onions in advance and store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator to save time while cooking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;M HAPPY WITH WHO I AM AND WITH WHAT I DO </p>
<p>Please try to remember to repeat this sentence <br />to yourself ALL DAY today, <br />here and there &#8230; </p>
<p>In every odd moment you can &#8230; </p>
<p>That&#8217;s your goal with each sentence Every Day. <br />Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it. </p>
<p>Breathe it in, and breathe it out. </p>
<p>OK, So what does this <br />particular affirmation really mean? </p>
<p>What does it mean to be Really Happy <br />with Who You Are? <br />And with what You Do? </p>
<p>For me, sometimes I find it to be a challenge.</p>
<p>Sometimes those negative voices inside me <br />just want to &#8220;have their way&#8221; with me. </p>
<p>This affirmation helps me to get grounded. <br />To get solid. <br />What about you? </p>
<p>What might be possible for you if you <br />REALLY FELT This Affirmation Strongly? <br />REALLY BELIEVED IT? You don&#8217;t &#8220;have to&#8221; believe it yet &#8230; </p>
<p>At least not all the time!<br />But it could be a nice place to begin, <br />Couldn&#8217;t it? </p>
<p>So, Try telling yourself this <br />affirmative statement<br />all day long today, and whenever you can in the future. </p>
<p>I&#8217;M HAPPY WITH WHO I AM AND WITH WHAT I DO </p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to talking with you <br />again soon!<br />&#8220;YOU ARE A Miracle!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Health Care </p>
<p>A tsp. lemon juice, mixed with 1 tsp. honey, 1 tsp. ginger juice, will reduce phlegmatic cough. </p>
<p>For a painful scald, try this home-made remedy. Place a crushed onion on the affected part, with a bandage over it. It really works and brings relief. Another good remedy for burns and scalds, is to smear the parts immediately with the white of an egg. In half an hour there will be no sign of the burn, and no soreness. Works like magic! </p>
<p>People with kidney problems and other digestive system ailments should use products with preservatives, high salt content, and tomatoes sparingly. Such persons can make sauces in small quantities without preservatives and enjoy them too. </p>
<p>A glass of warm water, to which the juice of 1 lemon, and a tsp. of honey has been added, help in weight loss if taken first thing in the morning, regularly. </p>
<p>Place cotton pads soaked in potato juice (grated and extracted from raw potato) over eyes, to remove puffiness. Regular use will reduce dark circles from under eyes. </p>
<p>Place teabags soaked in chilled water over closed eyes to relieve tired and strained eyes. Regular use will bring the sparkle and smile back to your eyes. </p>
<p>Wash hands and feet before sleeping. Apply petroleum jelly generously. Wear woollen or cotton socks and mittens. This will not only keep you warm and decrease chances of catching colds, it will keep your hands and feet, soft and supple through the winter. </p>
<p>Keeping a small lump of edible gum in the mouth, will bring relief to mouth boils and blisters. </p>
<p>Dry pomegrante skin, break into small pieces, chew these now and then to reduce coughing Spasms. </p>
<p>A regular warm shower just before going to bed, can work wonders for mild insomnia. Avoid late night teas and coffees. </p>
<p>Try a hot water bath, followed by a cup of warm milk half an hour before going to bed. This will help induce sleep for those having problems going to bed easily. </p>
<p>Take 1/4 tsp. omum (ajwain, oregano) seeds in a clean hanky. Warm it by rubbing on a warm surface like a griddle, or a switched off iron, or a warm switched off hotplate. Press against sinus points, for relief from headache and cold. Repeat 5-6 times a day for 3-4 days. Use same hanky and seeds.</p>
