Survival Skills Training 101 - Do You Know What to Do?

By John Branson

Survival skills training is becoming more and more important as our world becomes more dangerous. Even the most basic survival skills can mean the difference between life and death in several situations. You’ll never stop learning new ways to survive, because potential threats are endless, but the more you know, the better your chances for safety and security.

To get you started on the right foot, this article breaks down three of the most basic and vital survival skills that could come in handy in the majority of survival situations.

How to Find or Create Shelter

If you find yourself in a location without appropriate shelter, then exposure to nature and the elements could be your greatest threat. You’ll need to know how to use your environment to your advantage and create some sort of shelter to protect you, not only from weather conditions, but wild animals as well. In terms of shelter, there are actually two different kinds you need to focus on.

First, clothing is the most basic form of shelter and protection. Ideally, you should wear as many layers as possible, so you can stay warm in colder climates, but also remove one layer at a time as temperatures increase. Clothing will also help protect your skin from prolonged sun exposure, until you can find shade, which leads us to the second form of shelter. This is the more obvious form, any type of enclosure that will shelter you from rain and sun, while also creating at least some type of barrier between you and wildlife in the area. More often than not, you will have to construct your enclosure using only materials you can find around you, like rocks, sticks, leaves, clothes, and trees. A great way to practice this is to find a nearby wooded area, then try to build a small fort using only your surroundings and the clothing on your back.

Harnessing the Power of Fire

One of the most powerful and effective tools at your disposal is also one of the most magical: fire. Being able to create fire without the modern help of matches and lighters can be a literal life-saver in almost any outdoor survival situation. Fire is so versatile in that it can provide warmth, send a smoke signal, cook food, boil water, light up your area at night, and even keep some insects and animals at bay.

S.O.S. - Help!

While the above two skills will allow your to survive for much longer, you probably would like to return to civilization as soon as possible. You need to make as much noise and/or visual cues as you can to try and get the attention of potential rescuers. Fortunately, the fire discussed above will help do this on its own, but there are other ways to signal for assistance too. You can use pieces of glass or mirror to reflect the sun’s rays at a passing boat or plane. If you happen to have a whistle or can make any other type of loud noise using rocks or even your voice, you could try to catch the ears of those nearby. The key to any signal for help is to send them in threes.

How to Take Inspired Action

By T Ryan

Inspired action is one of the reasons apparent miracles occur. It is the reason people do things that other people and even themselves did not think were possible. It is responsible for some of the greatest breakthroughs in history. Whether the people taking the inspired action at the time new what they were doing or not, they would not have achieved there goals if they had not taken inspired action.

So, how can we go about deliberately taking inspired action. Well I would first like to take a look at ourselves to understand how and why inspired action works.

Firstly, many people generally accept that we are made up of three parts: mind, body, spirit or however else you prefer to term it. Now the way I like to see it is that we are here in our physical bodies on the ground doing things. Our spirit part is a part of the overall energy of the universe connecting all things flowing freely and the mind part is the connector between the two.

Now here is how to take inspired action: first you must make your intentions clear. Write out what you want to achieve, meditate on it, tell people what you intend and visualise it regularly, doing this gradually transfers the intention upstairs to the spiritual part of ourselves.

Now remember, that part of ourselves is part of the ether, it is free flowing energy, moving all around us and can see all things. It can see things around us and ahead of us that from the ground we cannot possibly see. Once it is clear on our intentions it can take a look around and see how to bring our desires into being in the fastest possible way. It knows the fastest way to do so and the way it chooses may not make any sense to us in our physical bodies because we cannot see all that it can see. Do not worry about this.

Messages and prompts will then be sent down to us and they could be very subtle. They could come in the form of words in a poem, words in a song that seem to stand out, a chance conversation, a strange coincidence but come they will and you have to be ready for them.

When you get these intuitive messages it is your job to follow up on them even if they don’t make any sense at the time, remember you can not see the way, but if you trust what you feel and go with it, that is when remarkable things can happen, intuition is your short cut!

The strength and ease of connection between your mind, body and spirit is the key to all of this. The stronger the lines of communication the better it will work. To improve these internal lines of communication you simply need to spend more quiet time. This can be praying, meditating, relaxing, anything where you take time out. These things will aid you in gaining clarity on the intuitive nudges that you will receive and in relaying your clear intentions.

Vision Boards - Powerful Personal Development Tools

By Adi J Knight

Many of us have heard of Vision Boards but few understand what they really are and just how powerful they can be. Start looking at Vision Boards as powerful personal development tools, which if used correctly will transform your life forever.

First things first, when you make your own Vision Board be sure that you know what you want. This might sound incredibly simple but this is the biggest mistake that many people make. The majority of people will throw a few pictures of sandy beaches, fast cars and mountains of money together, expect those things to come immediately into their lives and then blame the vision board when nothing happens. This is definitely the wrong way to go about things.

When you make your own vision board, it’s vitally important that you first sit down and clarify what end result you want, just as you would with a written goal. This is the most important part and should not be underestimated. When creating a personal development plan, you would not pick a random goal from the air then take action in trying to achieve it; neither do you with vision boards. The pictures on your vision board are meant to embody what you really want, the end results that you’re going to achieve.

Once you’ve decided on what you want the next key thing to do is choose pictures that spark an emotional feeling within you. The great thing about vision boards is that they are image based and pictures can often capture the essence of what you want much greater than words ever could. Choose pictures that make you feel great and which inspire you to take action.

Overall, begin and see a vision board as a personal development tool, a tool that keeps you focused on what you really want to be, do or have in your life, one that inspires you to take action. These are the first steps in taking in getting the most out of your vision board and changing your life forever!

What Are the New Thought Concepts?

By M. Daniel Walsh

Article recommended by Schlarbaum Capital Management

Social movements are very organic things, they just sort of happen as people come together with a variety of shared beliefs. We call these shared beliefs a paradigm. Paradigms are fairly loose things, often defying concrete definitions. Most of the time, as in the New Thought Movement, the movement is sparked by an assortment of characters expounding and exposing distinct yet similar beliefs (paradigms) usually with commonly held elements.

For clarity’s sake; every movement is bound to have an assortment of leaders within it teaching similar, yet distinct version of the same thing. The common elements held by all of these teachers make up the paradigm itself. These common elements when taken together make up the paradigm of the movement, regardless of the core concepts themselves.

The reason this is important to understand is that the New Thought Movement has gotten really big all over the world in the last 150 years. In fact it’s gotten so big and has so many well recognized leaders each offering their own versions of the same thing that it’s become pretty difficult to separate the forest from the trees and pin any sort of definition on it at all. If you ask ten people what New Thought is, you’ll get ten different answers.

The Common Elements

What if we really did ask ten different people what the core New Thought Concepts are? Each of them gives a unique answer, but are there elements common to the them all?

The New Thought Movement, like most other social movements has a tendency to both congeal, and defy congealment. Here’s what I mean, organizations like INTA (International New Thought Alliance), AGNT (Association for Global New Thought), and ANTN (Affiliated New Thought Network) have all emerged and sought to become the central body of the movement.

Each of these organizations seeks to present a common, unified face of the movement to the global community. However, like those ten people who each offers us a different definition, the same thing happens across these massive international organizations. Three central groups, three different Declarations of Principles.

This is all very natural and happens in any movement of sufficient size. The problem is that with so many groups attempting to define the same thing in different ways, there’s a tendency for the static to become overwhelming. So instead of looking at what makes them different, let’s look at what they all hold in common, we’ll call these common elements, “The Core Concepts of the New Thought Movement.”

* Core Concept One: Universal Spirituality and Divine Goodness The first core common across all new thought belief systems is the notion that there is a omni-present divine force of goodness pervasive though all things and people. In nearly all New Thought Schools of the Thought, the concept of a divine force which is ‘pervasive’ and ‘inherently good’ are cornerstone concepts.
* Core Concept Two: The ability to align with this divine force The second core concept is that we, as humans have the innate ability to harmonize and align with this divine force of goodness. Fairly universal within the New Thought Movement is the idea that: Health, Prosperity, and Love are all possible through aligning and harmonizing with this divine force. Extremist’s within the Movement hold that any sort of healing (including cancer and AIDS) can be accomplished with this alignment, and fantastic riches, beauty, and accomplishment are also possible through this alignment.
