Happy Independence Day!

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 00:40:21 +0100

Hen Pen would like to remind everyone as you get ready to celebrate and attend Independence Day festivities in the next few days to keep your pets indoors.
Many pets are very frightened of loud fireworks and may run off if they are outside and become lost or injured.

Animals Asia supports stray-cat population management in Beijing

In 2010 Animals Asia provided financial support to Lucky Cats in Beijing to help to promote responsible cat ownership fund ongoing trap, neuter, release (TNR) programmes in Beijing residential communities.

Lucky Cats are an established welfare organisation working with local communities to desex cats living in the community.

The funding helped to finance local communities that cannot afford to pay for the community cats to be desexed by themselves, and has been responsible for the desexing of 111 out of 156 cats identified in 7 residential communities of Beijing.

The desexed cats were also vaccinated and ear marked and community education initiatives have been carried out in conjunction with the TNR programme to generate support for the scheme among residents and to educate residents on the benefits of de-sexing the cats. Lucky Cats will continue to liaise with the community to monitor the effectiveness of this programme and to identify new cats arriving in the residential areas and trap and de-sex these individuals.

Animals Asia remains committed to helping to reduce the stray-cat population in China through humane methods.

The Mystery Behind the Law of Attraction

<h1>Know The Mystery Behind The Law Of Attraction And More</h1>

Author:

chadighaith</a> Some skeptics think that believing in the Law of Attraction is foolish and naive. What would be more foolish is to carry around your worries and attract more problems and worry into your life. The Law of Attraction is very clear. What you attract into your life, depends on what you emit as signals into the universe. The more you worry, the more likely the universe will throw back negative situations. If you want to attract positive reactions, this will only come from positive feelings and thoughts. This is what mind science teaches us. It is a mind game that we are all playing. The mind is the most powerful tool we own. Its supreme power supersedes all other powers. Once you start thinking more positively, you will be amazed at the positive results in your life. Your life will instantly change for the better. To learn about mind science and how the Law of Attraction plays a pivotal role in your life, visit, www.substance.com

You can live a healthy, happy and abundant life with the Law of Attraction working for your benefit. To experience a radical change, it is time to change the way you think and use your brain. Remember, this is not wishful thinking. For instance, if you wish for something today, it is not going to arrive at your doorstep tomorrow, Many people believe that if you think of something, you will instantly receive it like magic. The Law of Attraction is not a magic tool, it is a law! Many people suffer disappointments when they don\'t receive their wishes overnight. They revert back to their negative thinking patterns. Karma is not instantaneous. The universe will take its time to bring back what you wished for. Patience is the key; let the universe function at its own space.

The first step towards positive thinking is to remove as much negative beliefs and thoughts from your brain. We are bombarded with figures, facts and beliefs from our childhood, mostly fed to us by our parents, school, friends and family. We store this information in our brain and use them from time to time. Information if fed wrong can be destructive and harmful. For instance, if a child is constantly put down and belittled, he or she will lose their self worth and self-esteem. Even in adulthood, this person will continue to function with little confidence. They will act as if they are worthless. This will become a stumbling block for all future endeavors.

If you are such a person, it is time to put your childhood behind you and take a step towards a positive future. Allow your negative thoughts and feelings to diminish, and over time you will find that they reduce its intensity. Embrace positive thinking and emotions, and you will soon find how the universe manifests your positivity into physical reality. The Law of Attraction can work for your benefit. All you have to do is to use your mind power positively.

Reiki; Old Fashioned, Incomplete, or Just Perfect By Andrea Cornell

eiki; Old Fashioned, Incomplete, or Just Perfect

By Andrea Connell

Your rating: None Average: 5 (2 votes)

The other day I heard a Reiki Master say that in his opinion Reiki was old fashioned and outdated...interesting.

I had to ponder this awhile. How can Reiki - Universal Life Force energy be old fashioned and outdated? I realize I can be a pretty literal person so I tried to comprehend how else this may have been intended.

Reiki as energy cannot be outdated. It is after all universal life force energy, it is a constantly co-created emanation of energy grounded in all life systems of our universe. Reiki as a modality could perhaps be outdated but only in context of the relationship the student of Reiki has with the practice of it, which makes it the responsibility of the student not a statement reflecting the potency of the modality itself. I certainly have never experienced Reiki to be anything but currently applicable and relevant. Furthermore, I believe that the truest power of Reiki is yet to be discovered as scientists learn more about the nature of energy from a quantum perspective. I don't think we have even scratched the surface of it's potential yet! Many energy workers are still working within paradigms of understandings that are old fashioned and not valid in true knowledge of how energy works. There are certainly some old-fashioned ideas out there that practitioners have laid over the practice of Reiki but they really don't affect the quality or potential of a session. The 'Energy' knows best and does better work than the small mindedness of its practitioner would allow.

I do see that energy practitioners of all disciplines in general have very personalized and limited perspectives of what Reiki is and can do. As usual people spread their personal fear garnished ideas around demonstrating how little faith they actually have in the power of the dynamic that is universal life force energy. It is so weird to me how many practitioners have tried to alter Reiki with new symbols and theories and techniques when it is so powerfully and simply effective as it is.

Usui, the Japanese metaphysician that developed this modality of healing brought to us the awareness that we have the opportunity to work with the energy that we are immersed in to create a possibility for peace, harmony and happiness. He became enlightened to this possibility after an extended meditation retreat where he apparently determined to release all his preconceived ideas of life in order to experience another way. Legend says he was willing to die if necessary.

Maybe I'm an old fashioned kind o'gal but I'm not gullible, naive, or easily bamboozled and I think Reiki is very cool. Reiki fits perfectly with well-established metaphysical philosophies, evolving quantum theories, natural laws of our universe, sound spiritual practices (like meditation) and all health issues of modern man. Remember I'm talking about original Usui Reiki...the precepts of Reiki are, I admit, pretty old fashioned;

"Just for today do not anger, do not worry, honor your parents, teachers, and elders, earn your living honestly and show gratitude for all living things."

But you know, all things considered, it's a pretty honorable code of ethics to live by. As far as the rest of it I would suggest that before you decide Reiki is out dated - look perhaps to your own ego and it's ideas. Reiki Is...it really doesn't need your thoughts and perceptions of understanding to work, in fact try instead surrendering to it, get out of the way, stay present and watch the magic begin! Reiki is precise and perfect every time

HEN PEN Wants Everyone to Sign This Petition to Stop Feline Dissection in American Schools

Stop Feline Dissection in American Schools

signatures: 145
signature goal: 5,000

Target: United States Secretary of Education
Sponsored by: Animal Advocates

More than 100,000 cats are dissected in classrooms across the country annually by hundreds of thousands of young adults in junior and senior high schools and colleges.

Investigations have shown that Class B dealers (licensed animal brokers) obtain cats from a variety of legal and illegal sources including animal shelters, strays and "free to a good home" ads. Some may even prey on pets that are left unattended. An operation in Mexico was exposed for snatching cats off the street and paying children $1 for each cat caught.. They would then drown them and ship them to the US for dissection in classrooms and labs. In order to get the cats to classrooms, Class B dealers sell the cats to biological supply companies.

Schools choose to dissect because they view dissection as the only way to learn about anatomy. There are a multitude of alternatives to cat dissection which include using human or cat anatomy models, books, charts, videos and CD-ROMs. Another way to learn anatomy is to observe a veterinary or medical surgery.

The United Kingdom prohibits the use of cats in school dissection classes. Switzerland, Norway, India, Argentina, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Denmark all prohibit dissection below the university level. For students in junior high, high school and college, the dissection of a once-living being is not only unethical but unnecessary, Education should foster compassion and respect for life, rather than promote the idea that animals are expendable. Stop feline dissection in American schools.
