I Dream Of A Majorca Property

It was around the end of May of this year that I had decided to resign from my job in London as a counsellor and take a nice weeklong holiday to Majorca, Spain. This was a starting point in me hunting for a new place to live, check out Majorca property prices and drink loads of Sangria on the beach! It would be my first trip to Spain and I have long since had my heart set on owning a property in Spain one day. Now was my chance to begin my research.

I made sure that I was packed up to the brim of my suitcase with plenty of mini-skirts, vests, flip-flops and a whole range of bikinis. Of course, I could not leave without the odd high heels and very important cocktail dresses. I had also cleverl5A8y packed a guide on Majorca and kept in mind to visit the property agencies in Palma De Mallorca, for my search for a Majorca property.

On Arrival

As soon as I arrived at the airport, I could not wait a single moment to get to Santa Ponsa (a resort in South-West Majorca). My reaction was as expected when I got to the beach! I was mesmerised by the deep blue sea and the warm white sand that tickled in between my toes. This was my first beach holiday, every bit of Majorca was so fascinating that I was like a child walking into a sweet shop. The first thing I wanted to do was swim in the salty sea and experience the waves pulling me back and forth.

Of course, I had not forgotten about my main purpose, of researching Majorca property prices. I had noticed that the properties appeared spacious, bright and airy. Some houses were large, all of them with balconies (overlooking a beautiful view of the beach) and often with exotic trees standing over the roof. Children were free to roam the streets, and were so impressively polite to passers-by. I was beginning to fall in love with this place after only 24 hours.

Santa Ponsa, comprised of many tourist bars and Irish pubs, but it also contained many of the original traditions of Spain. This particular part of Majorca catered mainly for the Irish tourists, hence the numerous Irish themed pubs. I was expecting more tourists than Spanish locals in this area, but I 5A8was surprised to see that there were many Spanish people living locally in this area speaking their native Catalan tongue.

Property searching

I caught a bus up to Palma, a very cosmopolitan, vibrant and modern city. One of Palma's major landmarks is the large Gothic Cathedral that overlooks the sea. As soon as I arrived at the bus depot, it was not hard to spot the magnificent building intricately designed by Antoni Gaudi in the late 1800's. I was becoming even surer of my decision to purchase a property on this island.

The main city centre was busy, but it was not like the hustle and bustle of London Oxford Circus. People looked relaxed, no one looked like they were in a hurry and best of all people were smiling. I decided to visit a very swish looking property estate agent; they were very polite to me, sat me down and offered me a cool beverage while I waited for an agent to come out.

The agent was a rather friendly middle-aged man, very well tanned, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt with the top button of his collar undone, approaching me in a friendly relaxed manner and a big smile. We chatted for a short while, he explained that properties in Majorca have risen by 18% since 2004 with the average price being 750000 Euros; depending on the area one chooses to live in, you could buy a flat for 150000 Euros.

While the agent was explaining the finer details of buying a property in Spain, I could 578not help but notice that his approach was unlike any other agent I had come across. He was not trying to sell the company's services; I guess he felt that there was no need to place emphasis on making a sale on my dream Majorca property, I was sold on the idea even before I stepped into the office!

With all of the information he had given me, I decided to plan my days exploring the island, talking to locals and comparing prices with different agencies. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the properties did not come with a hunky male Spanish helper!

Dream Symbols - The Sea and Craziness

According to the method of dream interpretation by Carl Jung and continued by me, the human being can fight depression, craziness (neurosis, hysteria, psychosis, and schizophrenia) and suicidal thoughts with safety and precision. This method is exactly the miracle required by humanity!

Everything depends on craziness prevention. By preventing craziness, we can prevent depression and suicidal thoughts. We can cure depression, neurosis and hysteria through dream interpretation, but psychotics and schizophrenic patients are not able to follow the psychotherapy alone. They need someone to encourage them to continue, because their psychotherapy takes time.

Fortunately, the psychotherapy of depressed, neurotic and hysterical patients is easy and brief. The duration of basic psychotherapy is 6 months for regular cases. For serious psychic problems, this can take up to 8 months, but this time is nothing compared to the eternal psychotherapy that many patients have to endure for life because they are always dependent of psychotherapy, usually in a group.

Dream interpretation will help everyone develop his or her intelligence.

Everyone's intelligence requires development because the biggest part of the human psychic sphere is absurd, violent and evil. This is the primitive, wild conscience that is still alive inside everyone and keeps trying to control their behaviour. Only by developing our intelligence, we can transform this wild and violent part into a human part of our conscience.

Keeping in mind the facts I mentioned, you can now understand the meaning of the sea in your dreams.

In dreams, the sea represents the unknown region of your psychic sphere, where many dangers stay hidden. In the sea, one finds sharks and many other monsters... First of all, the sea is an environment dangerous for the human being because one cannot breathe under water.

The sea represents the psychic sphere, where you have the wild conscience, which is worse than sharks and can easily destroy your human conscience through craziness.

I have already given basic lessons of craziness prevention through many of my articles because craziness is in fact the human being's worst enemy.

Depression starts appearing in someone's behaviour to alarm the person and reveal that they must do something; otherwise, they will be dominated by craziness. If the depression persists, it frequently leads to craziness.

I dared to continue Jung's research and discovered the wild anti-conscience that tries to constantly destroy the human conscience, so that you could safely travel within yourself and discover how to transform the neglected and dangerous sea you have within into a safe place, where only balance and wisdom can exist.

Your human conscience is sublime like the Earth's surface, while your psychic sphere, where the wild conscience lies hidden, is as vast as the ocean! The analogy is represented in our planet. Water predominates on Earth, exactly like craziness predominates in the human psychic sphere.

When you see a dream where you are near the sea or swimming in the sea, it means that you are near the dangerous and absurd content of your psychic sphere that provokes craziness to your human side.

You must be careful.

My basic lessons of craziness prevention are given below:

1. Be loyal to your moral principals, and always respect others if you wish to be balanced and stay far from several dangers.

For more information about this matter you can read the article "Crazy Behaviour and Basic Craziness Prevention" in my article collection.

2. Forgive your enemies. Have pity on your enemies because they were dominated by their wild sides when they hurt you-never think about revenge.

3. Be resistant to any kind of crazy thoughts or feelings. Remember, there is always a wild and violent conscience trying to influence your decisions and push you towards craziness. Don't accept to do crazy things.

4. Don't underestimate the danger of craziness, because it is real. Never think that something absurd "doesn't matter." If you perceive signs of absurdity in your behaviour, immediately seek psychotherapy.

Dream interpretation is the safest method to cure you and the only one that can guarantee help. The more you care for your dreams, the more you'll be helped. If you care a little, you will be helped a little. However, you'll definitely find help. You won't waste your time and you surely won't be disappointed.

If you continue interpreting your dreams for more than a year, you'll become a genius because your intelligence will be developed the most.

Beating Depression and Craziness

Dream Research - The Result of 19 Years of Studies, Experiences and Cures

Until today, many people believe that our dreams are merely fantasies without meaning and that those who try to interpret them are only using their imagination. This is a popular misconception due to ignorance.

However, my arduous research in deciphering dreams and comparing the results with the scientific discoveries of our time clearly demonstrates that our dreams not only have a specific meaning but that the meanings are also essential to preserve our mental health and to develop our intelligence.

To understand the entire truth discovered based on the wise messages I received in my own dreams, I had to associate the information from literature, philosophy and religion to psychology, psychiatry, neurology, biology, behaviourism, world history, sociology and astronomy.

After understanding how to interpret dreams, I treated and cured many people who suffered from depression, neurosis, hysteria, psychosis and schizophrenia using this knowledge.

The results were very impressive. While many years of interpretation is required to cure serious cases, depression and neurosis can be easily cured in only 6 to 8 months of psychotherapy, depending on the attitude of the patient.

Of course, nothing is really easy when dealing with craziness, and there is too much craziness in the anti-conscience as well as in the conscience. The bitter truth is that humans are mainly characterized by absurdity. This is why we are self-destructive and why we are also destroying our planet.

My research also reveals the realization that humans are still animals in many ways and we are constantly dominated by the anti-conscience, which is the primitive conscience that has not evolved like the conscious and is evil and very violent.

This dangerous part of the mind causes craziness to the conscience, increasing the craziness that already characterizes the conscience due to the domination of the ego.

I delayed presenting my work to the world by 19 years not because I was searching for the accurate translation of the dream messages. Carl Jung had already discovered the real translation a long time ago-I only simplified his complicated work, after discovering the existence of the anti-conscience in the unknown region of the psychic sphere.

I was obliged to wait so long to present the results of my research to the public because craziness is an invincible enemy and because the "knowledge" we have today about the human brain and psyche is very far from the truth.

The human nature is too violent and absurd, since the biggest part of the human psyche and mind belongs to the wild anti-conscience.

If I did not find practical ways to beat the anti-conscience and transform it into a positive part of the personality, my work would not have helped anyone.

I found these solutions, but with too much difficulty for many reasons, including the fact that there is no real knowledge concerning the functionalism of the human brain. However, too many theories are presented as if they were facts, although they are only personal suppositions and conclusions of the scientific world. This only distorts the truth, leading the researchers to completely wrong conclusions.

After so many years of fighting mental illness, I can only declare that all of humanity requires urgent psychotherapy; otherwise, we will really manage to completely destroy our civilization.

Beating Depression and Craziness

Benefits Of Music Therapy

Music therapy uses music to promote positive changes in the wellbeing of an individual. These positive changes may be manifested in changes in physical development, social and interpersonal development, emotional or spiritual wellbeing or cognitive abilities.

The therapeutic benefits of music have been known and harnessed since ancient times. However, music therapy in modern times dates back to the World Wars when music was used in hospitals in the rehabilitation and recovery of soldiers who had suffered physical or emotional trauma. The University of Kansas was the first University in the United States to offer a degree program in music therapy in 1944.

Early exponents of music therapy in the 1950's to 1970's included the French cellist Juliet Alvin and Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins. The Nordoff-Robbins approach is still used in many countries around the world including the USA, UK, Australia, Germany and South Africa.

So, how does music therapy work?

Music is universal and connects across language barriers. Most people can respond to music in some way regardless of illness or disability.

Music has an inherent ability to generate an emotional response in the listener. It stimulates a relaxation response which can therefore lead to physiological changes in the body. Music is known to reduce stress thereby producing related benefits such as lower blood pressure, improved respiration, reduced heart rate, better cardiac performance and reduced tension in muscles.

Music is processed in both hemispheres of the 210Fbrain and this stimulation has been shown to help in development of language and speech functions. It promotes socialization and development of communication, self expression and motor skills. Children and adults with autism spectrum disorder have been found to respond very positively to music and many of them display high levels of musical skill.

Music encourages verbal as well as non verbal communication and promotes social interaction and relatedness. It's a valuable outlet for self expression and creativity. It has also been successfully used in pain management by providing a distraction from the painful stimulus as well as a means of relaxation and stress alleviation.

Children with developmental and learning difficulties,children and adults with autism spectrum disorder or special needs as well as the elderly and dementia sufferers have all been shown to benefit from music therapy. Although the benefits of music therapy have been accepted intuitively and based on anecdotal evidence it wasn't till recently that quantitative evidence of its efficacy started to emerge.

In a recent study conducted by the University of Miami School of Medicine blood samples of a group of male Alzheimer's patients who were treated with music therapy were found to have significantly elevated levels of melatonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine which are chemicals which act on the brain to control mood, depression, aggression and sleep. The benefits of the therapy were still evident even six weeks after cessation of the therapy and in the case of melatonin the effects persisted even longer.

Music therapy is gaining wider acceptance in the general medical community and has certainly stood the test of time. Music therapists can now be found practicing in a variety of institutions dealing with mental health, developmental and early intervention programs, correctional institutions and special education programs to name but a few. Many are having success where traditional treatment methods have failed.

How to Create Your Dream Team

One of the most common business issues that surfaces time and time again with many businesses is the area of Team. To be more specific: Team communication, motivation and ongoing inspiration to ensure they are with you for the long term and are an ongoing asset to your business. A common question being - "I just don't seem to ever get the right' people". In most cases, working with a multitude of businesses, I have found that this generally stems back to whether the business owner has decided beforehand exactly the type of person they are looking for. So at this point you're thinking well that's obvious, Mike!' - however many of us simply don't ask ourselves the right questions to ensure that we get team members with all of the attributes required for the particular position within our businesses. I generally have hired people in the past by looking for one main trait and that's the right attitude' that will fit the position applied for.

So here's some top tips' on creating your own dream team':

To recruit and hire the very best people for your business, start by answering some very simple questions like, "What do I want? What do I not want? What are my 5A8criteria?" Write down the criteria, then come up with powerful interview questions to ascertain whether those criteria would be manifested in a given candidate.

Your interview questions should be aimed at helping prospective employees to talk about the extent to which they share your company's vision, mission, values, and strategy. This should be able to give you a feeling for whether they will likely be aligned with the way you want to operate your business. Listen carefully to the answers, and you'll easily identify the people you want that will be an asset to your team.

Team Tips:

1) Keep Notebooks. Have each team member keep a notebook focused on new ideas. Talk to your team about any new ideas you may have. Have them write down every related thought, idea, aha', article and conversation. Then get together during a team meeting and share your notes. You'll be amazed at your team member's abilities to create something you didn't have before.

2) Lead by Example. As a leader in your business, take it upon yourself to model leadership' behaviour for your team. People react much more to what you do than to what you say, so make sure you are a great role model.

3) Encourage Diversity of Opinion. Cultivate a healthy range of ideas within your business. Consider that everyone has unlimited' potential. Actively look5B1 for it, facilitate it, recognise those who give it - and you'll get it.

4) Identify Your Own Role Models. Who do you consider are the top revolutionary and inventive business minds both now and also from the past? Who do you most admire in business? When the chips are down take a step back and think to yourself what would this person do in my position?' This is a very powerful tool in itself and can be highly inspirational to those who work with you.

Identify some Anti-role' models for building team loyalty. Learn from other people's mistakes if you can. Note those people who've been through team challenges, problems, and sometimes disasters in their own businesses and then shared their experiences (maybe in the form of a book or interview). Understand what caused them, and then take some positive steps to make sure that you learn from their mistakes by taking action to avoid falling into the same traps.

To Your Success,

Two Quick Ways To Sort Out Your Hassles - Transactional Analysis and WHEE

Transactional Analysis (TA) was developed by Eric Berne over 50 years ago. It still stands as one of the best maps for navigating the inner wellsprings and outer seas of the human condition.

Berne simplified the language of psychoanalysis so that everyone can understand it. He noted that we all have inner ego states (regardless of our age) that serve important functions in life.

- An inner Parent tells us what we should and shouldn't do. This ego state was programmed by our own parents, school teachers, religious teachers and authorities in our broader society. This inner Parent can speak with a supportive voi5B4ce or a critical tone. e.g. "You can do better!" vs. "You sure screwed up again, didn't you!"

- An inner Adult ego section computes the logical likelihood of our succeeding in getting what we want in life, taking into account our inner and outer awarenesses, needs, wishes and relationships

- An inner Child ego state wants to express whatever it feels and to have what it wants when it wants it. Our inner child may express itself in a simple, natural, unfettered way; it may adapt its expressions of feelings in order to be accepted/ not be rejected and to have approval of parents and other authority figures; or it may rebel in order to get its own way in the face of opposition or criticisms. e.g. "I sure would like to eat a piece of that cake right now!" vs. "I know it's polite to wait till everyone else is having dessert too." vs. "The heck with it! I deserve a treat right now."

This is an extremely helpful map for self-healing. If you find yourself unhappy within yourself or in conflict with other people, and you listen to how they are speaking, to how you are speaking and to your own inner ego state voices, you may very quickly identify why there is unhappiness or friction in your life.

Fourteen year-old Tom was struggling with his math assignment. In frustration, he slammed his book on the floor and stormed towards the front door. Fran, his mother, was concerned that he might use poor judgment and get in trouB68ble if he left the house in this state of mind. She yelled at him, "You come back here and finish your work before you go out!" A yelling match followed, in which both Fran and Tom shouted angry, hurtful words at each other. Tom stomped up the stairs and slammed the door to his room.

This, just one in a long series of such interchanges between Tom and his parents, led them to seek counseling.

Having a safe space in which to air their feelings was a big help to Tom and his parents. They had been arguing and fighting like that for several years, and all agreed they wanted to get along better but seemed stuck in patterns of frustration and anger.

WHEE was their first step towards sorting out their hassles. WHEE is Energy Psychology a rapidly effective self-healing affirmation technique for releasing stresses. Everyone was able to use WHEE to let go of a lot of their angers towards each other. This immediately improved the atmosphere between them and enabled them to listen better to each other and to identify the ego states that were contributing to their hassles.

Tom was able to let go of much of his self-criticisms over his struggles with math. He began to see that he had an overly-critical inner parent - that was belittling him and discounting his intelligence.

Fran released some of her frustrations over feeling inadequate to help Tom with school work that was stretching the limits of his patience. She, too, came to sense her inner critical parent voice was blaming her - for being a poor mom.

Bob, Tom's father, after lessening his own anger, promised to come home earlier from work so he could help with the homework. This was the first supportive-parent voice we identified in the family.

Tom and Fran came to see that they were having negative responses to each other. They were reacting critically to the tone of what was being said rather than to the content.

When Fran next saw Tom upset, she responded from Supportive Parent mode, "Goodness, that math is really frustrating you!" Tom responded from his natural child (hurt, frustrated and angry), "I don't know if I can handle this math!" The discussion that followed was one in which both looked at all the problem solving options.

It is extremely common to find that you and others respond more to the feeling tone of a message than to its content. So if you get upset or are on the receiving end of an upset response, you might ask yourself, "What feeling tones are stirring us here?" This may rapidly help you understand which ego voice you are coming from when you find yourself heading into conflicts. As you practice these methods, the alarm bells will go off when the hassles seem illogical relative to the content of your verbal exchanges and relative to your wishes and intents.

The second helpful aspect to this map is that it immediately suggests alternatives to the581 conflictual exchanges. You could change your tone of voice and feeling focus from Critical to Supportive Parent. When tensions are running high, a time out to reduce the stress levels with WHEE can then facilitate smoother, more harmonious interactions.

Metal Shingles

Metal shingles were previously seen as roofing material for low-slope houses. Over the years, they have been found out to be a significant roofing alternative for steep-sloped roofs as well.

Metal shingles are usually meant to look like traditional asphalt shingles, wood shakes, or tiles, but metal shingles come with a greater guarantee to ward off rough weather. Many consider these shingles to be the strongest roofing material available. Contrary to popular belief, modern technology has made metal shingles very light, and they are a feast for the eyes, and also have very high fire-resistant ratings.

These classic shingles give a building a593 timeless look and often come with permanent color warranties. They can be made out of a wide variety of metals like aluminum, copper, stainless steel, zinc and phosphate coating, and alloys of tin and zinc. The different metals can be suitably chosen by the prospective buyer according to his geographical location and climate.

There are other minor details that a buyer should keep in mind. Stainless steel shingles are said to weigh less than most other traditional roofing material. Metal shingles made with alloys of zinc and aluminum should ideally not be painted. Tin roofs should be painted at an interval of eight years. Zinc and tin alloys are perfect for rough coastal weather. These are the various issues that should be considered before making one's choice.

There are a number of benefits that the owner can enjoy once he chooses metal shingles as his primary roofing material. They come with excellent resistance guarantee to strong wind, fires, hail and storms, earthquakes, and other such natural calamities. They are also well protected from pests and are extremely anti-corrosive. Most manufacturers offer a fifty-year warranty on their metal shingles.

Metal shingles are mostly recycled and statistics show that they are, in most cases, 100% recyclable. Installation is also relatively simple, but consulting a roofing professional would probably be considered a smart idea.
