It’s a hot potato of a topic and perhaps it is too emotive for some, however If people are naive, very frightened and misinformed and they do not question the status quo then nothing changes.

They may feel the very fabric of their belief system is threatened and under attack when facing the hideous fact that there may actually be some truth in this.  

For those who are comfortable with alternative medicine or energy medicine, it’s obvious there are “choices” but for the masses that believe the media and are not so into natural health, they can’t understand so it’s safer to listen to the medics, the pharmacists, the celebrities and the spin doctors! Is it brave to follow the hardcore ‘no drugs and no surgery’ line… or simply crazy? Ask yourself  “Is breast removal as a cancer preventative normal!”

When we are talking about something as irreversible as removing body parts, it’s forever.

She presumably got the best counsel on this and made her “choice” and I respect that, but I suggest that Angelina Jolie, with all of fame and followers may have chosen to consider the consequences of such a drastic surgical procedure, as the multitudes will simply follow her regardless. There could be a tidal wave of copycat pointless breast removals!  So what are the alternatives?

A total lifestyle change most important is correcting behavior, essential is relaxation, coaching and support is a key, then diet, supplements,  exercise, work and activities. This is the obvious first step, but was this an option she was made aware of and is it other women in her situation?

Apparently Angelina has a certain cancer carrying gene BRCA1, which since this story hit the media has enjoyed a swift rise in value on the stock market…that’s strange too. http://www.naturalnews.com/040365_Angelina_Jolie_gene_patents_Supreme_Court_decision.html

As I understand, she has not actually got cancer and the 87% chance of getting it that has been quoted quite inaccurately too. The actual odds are apparently far lower. I am not saying it’s easy and I don’t know if indeed she sold out to the genome industry but did anyone tell her it is possible that she could change her health situation for the better without going to this shocking “choice”?

That’s what life has come down to a probability, a percentages and politics for profit …It’s a test of our faith and morality.

Is it a new advanced treatment that replaces removing diseased tissue or something archaic and barbaric? I thought cancer travels throughout the body, via the blood stream and lymphatic system, so what does that leave us with? That makes one wonder about prostate cancer, should men who could perhaps develop it, remove their testicles for example? How often does this happen that doctors remove healthy organs to prevent disease?

I know it is possible to make that change and to go over a life challenge, because I have done it and seen others prove it too but it takes commitment, a clear goal, certain faith, discipline and determination to totally change your destiny by natural means. It is necessary to get the best support and I recommend energy training starting with relaxation as key to releasing negative behavior and getting a positive life result.

We live in the era of infinite possibilities with everything from how we take our coffee to how we travel, the car we drive, the style of jeans, we have a choice: low fat, soy milk, double shot, extra baggage, priority boarding, business class, bootleg, skinny leg, hipster, walnut veneer, cream velour upholstery or black leather, whatever?  

The choice is ours, be it right or wrong. Sometimes the choices are so numerous, we are totally overwhelmed, so confused, or under pressure that we just can’t decide. If it’s just about jeans or a car, it’s obviously not the end of the world, we can change them. But what if we have young kids, are in charge of a team of flight controllers or an administrator for a hospital, or controlling a billion dollar housing project, we have lives in our hands, huge money at stake and the choices and risks become way more crucial?  We must be clear, get it right.

Yes, we learn from our mistakes but at what cost?  We think we are so well educated and worldly wise but actually most of us know very little about life itself and are like young kids in this vast universal playground.  Living in a free-will universe, where we get to decide in any moment how to react to any given circumstances, we have way more power than we give ourselves due can go both ways.

All this freedom without any education means we can make lots of costly and damaging mistakes, however if we are guided by wisdom and gut feeling rather than our heads, what our parents say, our own old ideas, our egos, then we can make a smarter choice, one which will give us an instant advantage, a boost and the shortcuts in life that may even extend our lives and add quality the lives of others and to any situation.  We will always buy the right jeans, reach the goal, save lives and improve life.

The choice is ours in any moment.

How to start the day the right way and how to unwind or top up our energy levels to help us reach this new quality life? We now have another choice to make. Like all the best things in life, it’s really very simple, just a matter of doing it.  When that means we get to create something unique and just how we like it that is a sure recipe for success. Oceen team made it fast and fun to click together your relaxation session and just sit back to receive the energy and keep you clear all day, deal with those choices, to become wiser, healthier and naturally energised for longer. Relax, this choice is a real no brainer!

Energy is an invisible force which effects all areas of our lives. Energy is life force.

All cultures have knowledge on the dynamics of this force, but unfortunately people have recently been more inclined to follow modern science based on seeing is believing.

As a consequence we meet seemingly random problems and blockages as energy continues to follow the natural law of cause and effect.

The ancient life knowledge or universal law consists of countless truths, all of which are simple and logical once we become aware.

There are for example many stories and beliefs about mirrors being more than meets the eye, not mere means of reflection being sources of damaging influences or even gateways to other worlds. In many bedrooms we will find mirrors and tv screens, which may reflect just as much.

At night our body releases used energy, ie. cleanses itself. Between 11 pm and 1 am the gall bladder cleans itself and between 1 am and 3 am the liver has its turn. These toxins or negative energies are normally dispelled and airing the bedroom in the morning will get rid of any remants of this natural process. However, when a mirror or screen shows our reflection whilst we are asleep, the negative energy returns to us and we fail to detox during our sleep. The following morning we will feel heavy and reluctant to get up instead of rested and keen to start the new day.

To gain maximum benefit from our sleeping hours, make sure there aren’t any surfaces reflecting the bed. It may be necessary to veil mirrors or remove them permanently. As a temporary measure or when spending the night at a hotel, use a sheet or bath towel to cover the TV or mirror and then see how you feel.

We can’t see Energy, but it’s effect on our lives is fundamental.

Welcome to the future of meditation

On behalf of the team at oceen I am super happy to introduce our new format, the oceen player.  We have all spent a long while researching what we like when we relax and how to make it fresh every day. As we are all professional life consultants, we have collected experience with what works for our clients, what gets results and most importantly, what is fun and simple to use.

Meditation along with Yoga is a hot topic and is getting scientifically proven results, so it’s high time for everyone to make it part of their day in the same way that we shower, workout, eat well and clean our teeth. With more and more people jumping on the bandwagon, celebrities use it to look good, creatives get new ideas, entertainers and sports people to perform well and business whizzes to keep on top of their game, there has got to be something to it, everyone is looking for a quick fix with a spiritual kick these days. 

What evolved from all our research was that most of us want to have control of our experience and for it to be creative, address the specific problem we are having and get a solution delivered right now in real time. So we decided to let you, our visitors create the relaxation experience for yourselves.  

It is an interactive way to relax, so with the concept we have designed you get to choose the visuals from a range of environments  filmed on our travels around the globe, select the background music from our exclusive relaxation compositions and recorded texts on a variety of topics from the in-house life consultants. Just select from the drop down menu, combine it all with a quick click and voila your create your 20 minute personalised relaxation session. It is flexible and the fact that you can tailor make a session for yourself in seconds according to your requirement at that moment means you get what you want, when you need it.  

Enjoy the possibilities and make your own  customized relaxations for family, friends or anyone you know in need of a little extra help, they make a wonderful gift idea. Please let us know what sort of topics you would find helpful and they will try to include them soon?

The best career for these types is one where they can be creative and powerful. They can also be flexible and work in many different areas. Yin Fires can cover everything from being a leader to a problem solver; they have a large capacity to do many things, and also achieve a lot outside their work world.

Yin Fire is represented by the candle, log or forest fire, is of this earth and has reality. When the Sun – Yang Fire – is strong Yin Fire is weaker. Yin Fires are realistic, aggressive and social and can handle pressure. When they extinguish, they can re-ignite.

Earthly burning fire, I can meet you at any turn.
Fires in the forest, candles lit by night, a winter’s fireplace glow,
You are born from the wood that feeds you and create rich ashes of the earth.
Indeed a centerpiece of Mother Earth,
Destruction and creation, your inseparable nature.
Your merciless movement,
Cuts sharp its path without hesitation or pause.
And yet, our attraction is instinctual,
We cannot resist your many charms.
Behind you we follow, walking the ruthless path you have set forth.
And under our feet we uncover the signs of new life.
The light in the dark and the warm in the cold,
The contradictions are many, but the power is never ending

The best careers for this type of element are those where they can constantly provide new ideas and inspire people.

Yang Fires usually are very artistic, make good consultants, are imaginative and seem to be not from this World. Difficult to have reality, everything they do is showing. They can’t hide much, as the sun needs to shine, like to be centre of attention, don’t care for details. Yang Fires should not represent themselves, but link to partners, a team, company or mission, to balance their abilities, bring their ideas to reality and bring out the best in them.

Yang Fires cannot function on their own, they need a team of people, a doers who will turn their ideas in reality. A big treat for them is if they don’t have enough space to be creative they can get mentally ill because their ideas are not manifested.

Yang Fires also have difficulties to feel other people so often their actions can be cruel and cold towards others.

The heaven’s emperor, the sun, burning brightly in the sky.
Eternally giving to earth and all the celestial planets,
You provide us energy for every breath and moment of life.
And what in return? The enjoyment of a simple reflection…
Your light shines bright on metal and water alike,
And you dance in the reflections they play back to you.
Your showmanship is something to behold,
Commanding our attention towards your great power and wonder.
To be sure, others in your universe cannot compare.
Not only to your daily magic show of light and beauty,
But to your powers of creativity and unearthly imagination, there is no other.
You are the light in the universe with limitless possibilities,
And there is no other who can replace you.

This elemental type recycles itself – creeks flow into streams, streams into rivers, lakes and oceans… then there is evaporation to the clouds and then rain… Yin Waters are always moving; they never fix themselves in one place. They are like a chameleon – camouflaged, shape shifters and they can be anything; they love change…and love to be changed – love to be in different forms…

As for career, they are the type that can do any kind of undercover work – spy, detective or police jobs…but they can also do scientific research, be a geographer, an oceanographer, an explorer, or treasure hunter… They love challenges and adventure.

Yin Water resents siting still as in desk jobs! They are also very good analysts.

This is the element type that achieves because it wants to be free. If success does not happen for them, a Yang Water will go no where in life – become a drifter. The entire impetus of Yang Water people is their thirst for freedom – Yang Waters dislike to be controlled or locked– they will be very successful indeed, or loose themselves and completely waste their lives.

Yang Waters don’t like to take risks or spend money. They are the great copy cats of all the element types and they like to stick to things which have been proven to work.

Quick to catch anything about they need to decide on their career, not to become an insignificant jack of all trades. In cooperation with suitable partners, they can go beyond their tendency to be limited and become truly great.

Their best career is in business… and some safe business, too. They need to be 100% sure.

Because Yang Water reacts faster than any other of the elements and they need to be independent – they are very interested in being financially successful. The world of business is very good for them.

Yang Waters look creative but are actually very fast and detailed imitators. Water has no colour, it reflects, the sky or trees and whatever is around at the speed of light. Difficult learners they are still very good teachers.

Supportive elements: Yin Wood, Yang Fire and Yin Fire.

Non-supportive elements: Yin Earth and Yang Metal.

Famous people: Bill Gates, James Earl Jones, Anthony Quinn, Marlon Brando, Farrah Fawcett, Emily Blunt, Alan Sugar, Chris Rock, Colin Powell, Jimmy Page, R. Kelly and Kate Middleton.

Ironically, this element represented by smaller and pot plants can survive the heaviest pressures in life – more than any other. It will always spring back to life. It is very resilient, as grass or ivy – or even as the most stubborn weeds; it just keeps growing back no matter what you do.  

The best career for this type of person is leadership. Yin Woods can also be great analyzers. With only one condition of receiving enough attention – they can be at the front line of the career world – and supply a lot of detailed support through analysis. Yin Wood is able to follow through with any project, from the beginning to the end. Despite their abilities, they can react melodramatically and spoilt. This is how they seek attention, if needed, but regardless all the drama, Yin Wood always have ready solution for problems.

Yin Wood will take any help and support it can get, even from the metal element as pruning will help it grow. Yin Woods have an excellent understanding and judgement of people. Therefor they also make great lawyers.

Supportive elements: Yang Metal, Yin Earth and Yang Wood.

Non-supportive elements: Yin Fire.

Famous people: Bill Clinton, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Sting, Madonna, Brad Pitt, Princess Diana, John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Liza Minnelli, Bridget Fonda, Rupert Murdoch, Jim Carrey, Michelle Obama, Kurt Cobain, Al Gore, Rihanna, Kim Jong II, Axl Rose, Robbie Williams and Oprah Winfrey.
