6 Ways To Protect Your Energy From Energy Zappers

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Admin

Whether you are on the fence about what energy means to you, we all have it. In fact, I can hook you up to an EKG machine and instantly tell you whether your heart has a healthy energy rhythm or not! Our entire bodies are arranged on many levels of energetic principals and some that we don’t even know about!

So you know when you’re around some people or events that just drain your energy? You know who I’m talking about, is it Aunt Martha that likes to talk a lot about her health problems, or is it the boss that pushes his agenda onto you? Here are 6 Great Tips to Protect your energy from them!

1. Realize that it is YOUR energy and you don’t have to share it

Often times you feel an obligation to share your energy with someone that may clearly breach your space and energy. Women are very susceptible to this because we think that we must be nice, or we must be accommodating. We don’t want to offend anyone, so we’d rather allow them to infringe our energy and suck us dry. This does not honor your energy! When you feel someone breaching your energy, take a step back and evaluate. Ask yourself, “Who’s energy am I sharing…and it is worth it?”

2. GROUND your Energy

Ever heard of the phrase, your best defense is a good offense? This is the same concept. Having in your awareness that your energy should be grounded will allow you to not be susceptible to energy zappers. One way to do this is to align your body in a straight up and down position, and close your eyes. You can also imagine an imaginary line running from your belly button to the ground (3 or 4 feet below you) and then from your belly button, to chest through your head and to the sky. In ancient cultures this would be called, “Aligning your Hara”, but we’ll call it Getting Grounded. Take three deep breaths and concentrate on getting grounded. This will allow you to align your energy to be fully aware of your surroundings and your energy. So key!

3. Your Time, Your Money and Your Resources are Energy

Has anyone ever taken up too much of your time? Is it that pesky sales person or the obligations that you feel to run the PTA, or to clean the house inside and out every day? Or have people asked for money and you did not want to give it? It just did not feel right? These are all examples that your energy extends to your resources beyond your body. Honoring your time energy, and your money energy to be in alignment with what is true for you instead of what is true for others is another way to eliminate those energy zappers. If you spend your resources because you feel obligated rather than having the choice or the desire to do so zaps your energy. Be aware of your choices regarding these energies.

4. NO is the new YES

This is a wonderful saying that a good friend Ken Bechtel at Finding You in the Goo uses constantly. Instead of feeling energetically that NO is a negative concept, realize that when you say no, you are saying YES to yourself. And who is the most important person in this world to you? YOU. So, honor your importance and be okay with saying NO to others, you are in fact saying YES to yourself!

5. Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries

When I first realized I had boundary issues, I immediately thought “No way, people with boundary issues are those that are like doormats, they’ll do whatever, whenever for whoever…that’s not me.” But it was, and it was a horrible eye opener!

Boundaries come in many shapes and sizes. Boundaries, whether physical, or energetic, are so very important to honoring yourself. Are you getting pushed around at work because you are not willing to stand up and fight the good fight? It is just easier to go with the flow? Are you uncomfortable with how fast your spouse drives the car with your kids in the car, but you aren’t allowed to say anything? These are all examples of boundaries. It is really about you—not about them. In order to be clear about your boundaries, you must be clear about what you are okay with, and what you are not okay with.

6. Push or Pull Your Energy When necessary

When confronted with a persistent energy, it may become necessary to Push your energy, or to Pull on another’s energy. What this essentially does is gives you the POWER to be able to make change, get proactive and take back your energy. I have found that when I am in contact with someone who likes to pull my energy, or drain me, I often have to PUSH back. Sometimes I give little warnings, or little signals, and when they do not respond, and then I give a decent energetic push. It does not have to be mean, and the push can come from a simple statement with good intentions. “I’d really love to explain why I did what I did, but I do not feel that this is the right time or place to engage in such a conversation.” Assertive, respectful, and direct. This is what occurs when your energy is in alignment with your intentions.

You may be thinking that a lot of this is dealing with normal human emotions, but there is an energetic shift that occurs even before the emotions occur or the discussion happens. This is the energy that I am talking about. Most of you have felt energy when you’re around someone that is angry, the energy feels harsh, or when you’re around someone depressed, the energy feels draining. Protecting yourself from the volatile energy zappers starts with you, a good defense and an awareness of energy.

For now, Be Grounded, Be Whole, and Be Energetically Adventurous!!

Energy Deregulation: Learn How To Reduce Your Energy Bills At No Cost

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Admin

Learn how to reduce the price you’re paying on your energy bills by switching to a lower priced energy provider at No Cost or Obligation. The Energy Deregulation Bill(Senate Bill-SB695) has made it possible for businesses and homeowners to save money on their high priced energy bills.

Energy Deregulation is similar to the telecommunicate deregulation back in 1984. Everyone wins!

Energy deregulation has opened the energy market to competition, by replacing the system of district monopolies that have provided energy to U.S. homes and businesses since 1935 – was approved at the national level in 1956. But each state has to implement its own individual rules to govern these markets, which took several additional years to achieve.

Energy Deregulation has come at a much needed time for an average electricity and Natural Gas customer who has a task to cut down every month on their monthly energy expenses. It has introduced competition among the energy providers, a term that was never heard before in this market. Take some time to ponder what is it and learn how you can use energy deregulation to lower your energy bills for natural gas and electricity.

]]>

Many consumers do not know how to go about using the energy deregulation bill to lower their energy bills. That’s why you need an experienced energy broker that can help you switch to a lower priced energy provider. But choosing the right energy broker with the experience to help and at no cost to you is what this article will do for you.

Consumers check out a variety of energy saving options before making even the smallest purchase. However, this option of energy deregulation was not available to consumers until recently when the new energy bill law (Senate Bill-SB695) was passed.

With the opening up of the energy sector for investors and consumers, the proverbial cat has been let loose among the electric energy providers. The monopoly of some energy providers has been essentially broken up with the opening up of the trade with energy deregulation.

Presently, each energy district has several energy providers, at least a few of them, which has guaranteed reasonable play amongst them. Each and every stakeholder in the process stands to benefit from this development, especially the customers as they can select the energy provider they like.

Various energy providers tend to entice customers by offering them easy payment choices, online monitoring options, fixed and adjustable payment plans and so on. There are many energy offers out there these days which have made the decision process a Huge task for many individual customers. Stiff competition among service providers has resulted in the end consumer wielding enormous power and forces them to play to his or her tune.

The decision making process is a fascinating phase these days with the end in regulation in energy sector. There are several types of energy providers in numerous regions, much to the benefit of the customers. The energy consumers are receiving a healthy headache in choosing between various local electric utilities providers that are owned by the State or by private investors.

Presently, the consumers have become powerful enough to express their environmental values and support for policies of one company towards that of another. If they do not want to go for an energy provider who makes use of coal for energy generation, they can choose a green power provider pretty easily. Similar is the situation with the policies of such providers; consumers can switch between them if they do not like the policies followed by any one of them.

All these choices were unheard of in the times when energy distribution was in hands of very few select energy providers. It is even unheard of in those areas where these services are under monopoly. Irrespective of the existence or lack of regulation, the consumers in most districts have become well-informed and have began raising concerns, a welcome change.
It is worth mentioning in this article the case of Texas where Public Utility Commission of Texas has made revealing unbiased information mandatory. Customers in Texas can obtain price, available plans and other relevant details online.

It is hoped that the above information is beneficial for you to learn how you can use energy deregulation to reduced the price you pay for energy bills.

Five simple things you should do to cut your energy costs

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Admin

If you’ve already upgraded some of your light bulbs to CFLs, bought a new energy saving air conditioner, or taken other actions to cut your family energy costs, you may feel you have run out of energy saving options. A look at the dozens of websites that provide energy saving ideas will usually provide the same set of basic strategies – many of which, I suggest, don’t save you money at all. In this article I will put forward five easy ideas for reducing your energy use, that you likely won’t find on a typical government website or home energy savings site.

1. Measure your energy usage

Any wholehearted attempt to reduce consumption should start from knowing how much you use. If you don’t know how much energy you consume, and where or when you’re using it, efforts to cut excess may be misdirected. You want to focus your efforts on choices that are the most productive in terms of the savings they generate. You also want to measure the result of your energy reduction efforts, to see if they had the expected savings.

I’ve heard many neighbors boast that they’ve converted their tungsten lights to compact fluorescent lights, but on further scrutiny it seems they merely switched lights in infrequently visited rooms. A CFL located in a furnace room may only be on 10 hours a year. The energy savings from that replacement amount to just 3 pennies per year, which means the price of the compact fluorescent will never be regained in energy savings.

When you think about both the power consumed over the lifetime of a fluorescent light and the resources used to manufacture a CFL, there are probably no energy savings to upgrading light bulbs in seldom used areas. By measuring or estimating the annual energy usage of each appliance, light, or other energy-consuming item in your home, you can determine which areas will yield the most savings by moving to a more energy efficient alternative.

For plug-in electrical appliances it is easy to measure their energy usage with a household electricity monitor such as the Kill A Watt meter. Using such a monitor, and some straightforward math, I was able to calculate the total power consumption, in kwh, of dozens of devices in my house. The calculations helped me determine that some devices that used very little electricity were in fact major electricity wasters (because they were connected 24×7 although they were really only normally in use a few hours each day), while some big devices had almost no impact because they were seldom used. This process helped us permanently cut our home energy usage by over 30% in a matter of a couple of months.

once you calculate and prioritize the ways to achieve your energy goals, be sure to measure overall home electricity consumption every so often thereafter to see whether your reduced costs are making a difference. In one study, researchers found that merely providing homeowners with a regular update on their electricity consumption resulted in electricity reductions averaging over 10%.

2. Do less

This may sound trivial, but the easiest way to save electricity is not to use it. Try not to use lights, for example. When our youngest was in Preschool we hired a nanny who had grown up in the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. I often came home from work to find her and my son sitting indoors with the lights out. She told me that in Saint Lucia it would be considered wasteful to turn a light on when it’s daytime. Since then I’ve attempted to get by on daylight alone whenever I can, although on a cloudy winter day you occasionally do need a little boost from the odd light bulb!

Other ways in which you could do less are doing less laundry, driving less, heating and cooling less. You might not have to launder that shirt or pair of trousers you wore for a night out, just because you wore it once. And you can dry clothes on a line or indoors on a drying rack rather than use an electric dryer. As for driving, you might live in a suburb where walking to the supermarket, schools, or work is impossible, but I live in a fairly urban area where I can walk or take the bus to all of these places, and yet many of my neighbors still drive for all their errands. Even if you live far from public transit, you can often cut back on car usage by being careful to plan trips ahead of time and by combining two errands into one drive. Even calling ahead to make sure a store is open can save a pointless trip to a shop that turns out to be closed.

Doing less driving not only saves you the costs of gas and wear and tear and insurance (we get a discount on our car insurance because we don’t drive to work), but improves your health by keeping you more active. I always laugh, when I leave my office job at 5pm to cycle home, to see a dozen coworkers in the office sports facility cranking away on exercise bikes. When they’re done that they’ll hop in their SUV’s and drive home (to homes nearer the office than mine). If they simply biked to work as I do, they would get as much workout without polluting or spending their money on fuel.

]]>

You can lower your heating and cooling costs easily by doing less: lowering the thermostat in winter (and adding slippers and a sweater to your indoor attire) and pushing up the thermostat in hot weather (and dressing down).

We manage our cold Canadian winters with the thermostat set to 66F when we’re active in the house, and set back to 60F at night, and down to 56F when we’re typically out of the house and don’t need to keep the place warm.

In hot weather you can likely cope with warmer indoor temperatures just by growing acclimatized to a higher thermostat setting on your AC system. We found this out while staying for ten months in Central America without air conditioning; within a couple of months of moving there we became quite acclimatized to temperatures of 85-90F inside. Unfortunately, many offices are kept considerably cooler than that in hot weather, which makes getting used to a warm house more challenging, but it can be done.

Doing less will often save you more energy than you can save by investing in more energy efficient appliances, or home energy upgrades. Many efficiency upgrades have no effect on savings because we tend to use a more efficient appliance more often since it costs less to run. If instead of upgrading you just try to stop using the item as much, you will certainly save money.

The Jevons paradox is the term used to describe this phenomenon. The main idea of the Jevons paradox is that any increase in efficiency (whether in energy use, money use, or other) is almost always matched by an equivalent and offsetting increase in usage. When the first washing machines were introduced, the result wasn’t less time spent doing laundry – people spent just as much time doing the laundry, they just started washing more clothes in the same amount of time. In my grandmother’s youth people wore the same clothes again and again without washing them, but most people today throw everything in the laundry bin if it’s been worn only once.

You can see the Jevons paradox happening with many modern household appliances. Refrigerator technology has made significant of progress on energy efficiency in the last ten years; it takes far less electricity to cool a given air volume now than it did in 1985. But improvements in efficiency have been eliminated by an equivalent rise in refrigerator size. My mother in law, who lives on her own, recently purchased a refrigerator that looks large enough for the Brady Bunch. It’s an ENERGY STAR refrigerator, because it consumes less electricity than the minimum required standard for a refrigerator in its class. But even though she thinks she is saving electricity, she will actually pay more money on cooling her food than she used to. (Even worse, there will probably be even more waste, as the increased size of home refrigerators in America has been matched by a significant increase in discarded food. A bigger fridge often just means more room to lose leftovers or last week’s meatloaf.)

“Energy efficient” TVs are another trap to watch out for. The new ENERGY STAR specification for TVs sets energy use limits per square inch of screen size. That means that a 62 inch screen may receive an ENERGY STAR rating, while a 20 inch screen that is less efficient per square inch, might not, and yet the 62 inch screen could be consuming over ten times more power as the 20 inch TV.

Try to avoid the trap of buying an energy saving appliance that lets you continue using the same amount of power in exchange for using it more. It’s a game you’re guaranteed to lose. Look for energy saving appliances where the increased efficiency doesn’t just result in your using the appliance more. For example, when upgrading your fridge, get an ENERGY STAR replacement that’s the same volume as your current one (or better yet, even smaller). That will ensure you’ll actually save money, instead of just using the same amount of energy and creating more work for yourself!

3. Avail yourself of free cooling and heating sources

We survive muggy Ontario summers, where the temperature often hits 90F, without any air conditioning at all, just by sucking in cooler nighttime air into our home through window fans, then shutting the house up all day to trap that cool air inside. It’s not quite as comfortable as central air, but it costs us only a year to run the fans. With a central air system you’re looking at about 0 a year just to cover the sticker price spread over the unit’s anticipated lifetime, and annual maintenance costs; then another 0 to ,000 to operate the system through the hot weather, depending on how warm it gets out of doors and how cold you keep the temperature inside.

In cooler weather the sun is a free heating source. If you live in a cooler climate and have the proper type of low-emissivity windows for your zone, those windows should let sunlight into your house but keep the heat from that sunlight indoors so most of it doesn’t escape. Keep curtains open on south facing windows in daylight hours to allow the house to warm up. Then shut your window coverings overnight to prevent heat from escaping.

4. Revamp your window coverings

Homes lose a great deal of energy through their windows. Even the most efficient windows are far less efficient at stopping heat transfer than your average insulated wall. By putting energy efficient curtains, blinds, or other window coverings on your windows you can really lower heating and cooling expenses, without spending a lot of money upgrading windows.

The most efficient window coverings block airflow around the window glass, to interrupt the convection currents that usually occur. As air touches the cool window in winter, it cools, and falls down, pulling more heated air in from above. This convection airflow hastens the cooling and the flow of heat outside. The opposite process happens in summer, as heat coming through the glass from outdoors warms the indoor air, sending it upward and pulling more cooled air up from below. If you install window coverings that block this circulation – for example, shades that tightly cover the window glazing, or curtains that have a header blocking airflow from above and that touch the floor or rest on the sill, you will slow down or halt this energy losing airflow.

Ideally window coverings should offer some level of R-value too. You can make your own roman shades with a small amount of insulation, or you can go with multi-layered honeycomb shades that insulate between the glazing and the indoors. Both these choices are energy saving choices as well as looking good.

5. Buy local, unprocessed food

If you’re serious about reducing your energy consumption for green reasons, you should try to buy local foods that are minimally processed and low on the food chain (fruits, vegetables, grains, beans). A lot of energy feeds into meat production and food processing, and it takes energy to ship food over large distances. While switching to foods with lower energy inputs won’t cut your household energy bills, it will help reduce your ecological footprint and improve your health!

Of course it’s not always a given that only buying local foods will cut your environmental impact. For instance, an apple produced at a local farm in the fall, and kept in cold storage at the farm until April, involves a lot of energy to operate the storage facility. It could be that a fresher apple harvested in April and shipped by boat from halfway around the planet has a lower energy input than the October apple bought in April (and it may be crisper too!). But sticking to fresh local fruits definitely helps when they are available.

Buying minimally processed foods will also help, not only because many processed foods require a significant energy input over and above their unprocessed ingredients, but because the processing can remove much of the nutrition of the original ingredients, although usually the net effect of this is reduced health benefits, not one that relates to energy consumption.

Finally, staying low on the food chain – cutting down on meat and fish – will reduce your energy costs. It takes about 40 times more energy to produce a pound of beef protein as a pound of grain protein. And it takes about 3 pounds of fossil fuels to harvest one pound of ocean-caught seafood. So consider this the next time you bite into a T-bone or a red snapper fillet: you’re eating fossil fuels. This is true for farm raised as well as wild-caught seafood, because most fish farming involves feeding fish pellets harvested from the ocean to the farmed fish.

So there you go – five simple and original ways you can reduce your energy use. Measure your usage, try to use less energy by not doing as much, take advantage of free forms of heating and cooling, cut your heating and cooling expense through better window coverings, and switch to a more sustainable diet. It’s clear that none of these ideas will save you a huge amount of money, but if every one of us takes these steps, as well as the run of the mill energy saving ideas we’ve all heard for years, the earth will be a better place to livefor all of us.

Translation Services for the Renewable Energy Sector

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Admin

Renewable energy is energy which comes from renewable (naturally replenished) resources. Renewable sources of energy are wind power, solar power (thermal, photovoltaic and concentrated), hydro- electric power, tidal power, geothermal energy and biofuel and biomass energy.

Renewable energy technologies offer significant advantages over conventional ones for meeting energy needs worldwide.

With the increasing worldwide demand for energy, the development of renewable energy has become one of the most important issues facing the global community nowadays.

World summits and conferences are being held all over the globe in an attempt to ensure that future energy demands are met in a more sustainable way by using renewable sources of energy.

For example, the European Union sets ambitious targets for all member states, such that the EU will reach a 20% share of energy from renewable sources by year 2020.

The success of such a global challenge is based on the ability of all international shareholders and stakeholders to intercommunicate and interact.

Language barriers can pose a great obstacle to the efficient communication and cooperation of all interested parties.

Based on this international symbiosis comes the need for professional translation services providers with expertise in the field of renewable energy.

Most renewable energy projects are large-scale and they cross national borders.

For example Niagara Falls provides energy for both Canada and the USA.

The same applies to the HydroQuebec project. Successful professional translations allow different language groups and cultures to communicate effectively with each other and share the benefits of renewable energy.

]]>

While most of the management communication can be carried out in English, there are vertical communication streams that contribute to the production process. The workers involved in the renewable energy sector must clearly understand what they are being asked to do and how to ensure a safe working process.

One badly translated line in a document can send out the wrong message, possibly resulting in life-threatening situations for the workers in the renewable energy industry.

There are significant opportunities for companies that operate in the renewable energy technology development industry to market their activities internationally. Accurate translation is therefore the most effective way to reach these rapidly expanding international markets.

Successful product launch requires that advertisements and informational materials along with technology and all supporting documents be available to customers in their language.

One of the biggest challenges in the renewable energy sector is the constant change and development of terms and concepts. Those terms and concepts must be communicated consistently and accurately into the target Language/languages. The world of renewable energy is rapidly evolving, resulting in the need for parallel synergies in both translation quality and technology.

A thorough vendor selection process is crucial to ensure high quality translation. Often with vendors having to prove their capabilities in translating and localising the key technical terminology, abbreviations and phrases common to the renewable energy industry.

Specific areas of expertise can include:

Biofuel and biomass energy
Geothermal energy
Engineering
Hydropower
Photovoltaics
Solar thermal power
Water and tidal treatment
Wind power

Examples of some documents related to the renewable energy sector that often require language translations.

Annual reports translation
Data sheets translation
Energy security reports translation
Environmental studies translation
Functional specifications translation
Feasibility studies translation
Health & Safety reports translation
Legal acts translation
Marine ecology studies translation
Ornithological and other wildlife impact studies translation
Resource assessments translation
Technical specifications translation
Wind farm reports translation

Renewable energy translation project to be assigned to an experienced project manager who to perform the project management and coordination.

Project manager to analyse the translation project and decide on the resources needed, both in human and technical terms, as well as, to create a schedule for each stage of the translation process.

Project manager to cooperate with experts in the field (most often technical engineers) and prepare the translation project localisation documentation and to establish the standard vocabulary.

To select the members of the renewable energy translation team. Native speaking translators and experts with proven subject matter expertise and in-depth understanding of the renewable energy industry and terminology used in it.

Proofreading, sampling assessment and periodic review to be performed throughout the translation process stages.

Alcohol – A Energy Point of View to Create Emotional Choices – The Power of Your Spirit

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Admin

There are two parts to this article one is about affects of drinking and how it changes your energy flow through the body and its ability to feel. The second part is how to enhance your emotion spirit force to aid in your recovery.

The first part is a review of the affects of drinking alcohol on a persons emotional abilities and the affects, on a persons life energy force within their body. The second is how to create choices to over come the physical, mental and spirit affects of drinking alcohol within your relationships between you and others. Realizing the affects of alcohol in your interactions within your self and with others and how under the influence, alcohol created judgement that has to be undone and then replaced so a person in recovery can be warmer to others as an expression and receive warmth. To recover from alcohol is about becoming stronger mentally, physically and spiritually that changes a persons emotional connection to them self and their feeling connection to others that is no longer base on past judgement that was developed under alcohol.

Giving up alcohol judgement with its develop emotional connection is painful for the change leaves a hole in a persons history of development of enjoyment for them self. Making a hole in your past from not drinking is a challenge and full of regrets but being in the now and creating your spirit being projected to others that comes back to you in the most positive way through interaction is worth it to others and your self. Strength in your spirit is the primary force to connect to the body then to the mind so you can feel within your behavior without alcohol. Realizing spirit is the greatest damage from alcohol and its the hardest to understand and realize the effects in recovery. Most people do not work directly to strengthen spirit force but it is done more indirectly within doing other things to recover your God give spirit. Having clarity of the spirit force and how it comes together as force of action when a person is working in the here and now.

To recover is bring the level of ones strength between mind, body and spirit which is breath to higher level bring about a strong sense of the mind and body connection within interaction with others. The affect of ones breath forming ability can not be over stated to understand the need to develop core/breathing in its many forms to off set the physical cell damage from alcohol and change old habits. Finding ways to increase the bodies ability to feel in its many forms, affects a person ability to change to be positive in their life and express it and be close emotionally to others through judgement.

First thing is an understanding of the physical changes that occur as person drinks and slowly become drunk which in time, if repeated turns into a habit where person feels the need for alcohol. There are so many reasons people develop the taste for alcohol given how many different types of alcohol. Within each person the affects of consuming alcohol affects their body differently, which conditions the mind within the act of drinking to the emotions the body is producing that goes with the events that surrounds person that their emotions attach too. When drinking alcohol during social events or seating home and watching TV or just listening to music affects your energy production by lower it which changes the level of feeling ability to be lower. Drinking alcohol lowers the bodies ability to work with its physical energy and the affects persons physical strength which affects your bodies ability to feel physically.

One of the reasons people drink is to lower physical stress in the shoulders and relaxes the body then mind. Alcohol alters a person sense of being while they are interacting with others around them and this interaction is the foundation to become addicted for ones stress is lower through alcohol but its not real without alcohol so the person does not control of stress but a drug does. Changing ones feeling of stress or sense of emotional weakness that comes with stress feeling that are base on ideas within thoughts that person has learned with drinking alcohol. Responsibilities in life is a big emotional deal and how person view it comes with how they learned it and if alcohol was part of growing up and person learning how to deal with emotions then it a hard road not to drink.

Alcohol influences the physical bodies chemistry down to the level of the cells, where a persons energy productions and the ability of energy flowing through the cells are restricted (the influence of alcohol at the cell level in relationship to energy flowing in a complex one. On one hand it restricts flow but on the other hand it affect energy flow in another way where it enhance flow. Energy flow is pressure and when there is restriction it finds other why to move which create new channels for energy for energy flow, that are not normal. Ones energy force is on going and has to be channeled in some way or reduced). Because of alcohol affecting cells ability to transmit energy which has a long term emotional retarding affect within persons behavior and mental emotional state. Alcohol is a numbing chemical which affects your energy and as you drink and the more you drink the greater the affect on your spirit. Energy and spirit are interlink with breathing and alcohol affects your ability to breathe and that affects your emotional ability for emotional attachment. Alcohol makes person self centered emotionally around his alcohol where others take a back seat to his bottle of alcohol for its what he worships with his spirit of life.

Alcohol emotionally replaces people and becomes a persons emotional attachment and all other people serve that attachment to the alcoholic. To a alcoholic, alcohol is the emotional center to their life and it just come first in thoughts and behavior and emotional attachment. They have only one emotional love and that is alcohol and they are trap in their behavior driven by alcohol. They will spend hours in bar drinking which replaces personal responsibility to family. People in the family have to adjust to the alcoholic emotional demands which is to serve them when they are drunk. You can not trust a drunk for their words are meaningless because their words are in the spirit of alcohol.

When a person becomes alcoholic they replace their God given spirit with the alcohol induce spirit. To recover its about finding ideas and techniques that make your spirit stronger so it can replace the learned alcohol behavior spiritual. What makes alcohol so damaging is within 24 hours its out of the system but the damage on the cell level does not repair it self over time and the emotional damage stays on.

The emotional develop expression at social event under the influence of alcohol can not be repeated with out alcohol so it create a real social emotional conflict on not know how to act and feel at the same time to enjoy the event. So when your having fun and enjoying them self and consuming alcohol, the affects how you relate to your self having fun will be different then if you never taken a drink. For it changes your ability to feel within an event and then leaves a imprint on your being that can not be repeated with out drinking alcohol. So your developing a alcohol spirit in having fun and your God given spirit is not part of the fun and enjoyment. Your creating two different emotional realities, one with out alcohol and one with alcohol. Keep that in mind for recovery, for you have to train your mind, body and spirit to be one person creating your emotional reality when your at a fun event and interaction with others.

Alcohol bonds with water, so alcohol will be part of every cell in the body, to some level. Since alcohol bonds with water so it affects electrical ability of the cells by lessening energy flow through which as the affect of lower your physical feeling ability. The long term affect of consuming alcohol is cell dehydration were its ability to transmit energy flow slows down or not at all and that affect makes a person emotionally cold for they will live in the past. There is no real benefit to long term drinking but a huge lose of life experiences and emotional reality experience abilities. Your life spirit is replaced over time where your world moves around your addiction to alcohol for its your first emotional love for its emotionally comforting.

Here is rule, the younger a person starts to drink the greater the emotional damage and ability to relate to others emotionally and them self within the interaction. You damage your God give spirit by replacing it with the alcohol spirit and that becomes your purpose of life.

Alcohol affects your judgement abilities thereby it affects your purpose in life. If drinking alcohol affects judgement then your decisions are base around alcohol influences that affects emotional judgment and attachments with person emotional spirit. Making enough judgements under the influence of alcohol it become your process to judging thinking around you and emotional relationships. If something affects your judgement and you act on that judgement it becomes your emotional reality. When you physically act on your judgement your acting in emotional way so your decision become your emotions and that will be you. So what you express when you are drunk that is you now but repeated enough that will be you all the time even when your not drunk. The term dry drunk comes into play here, that is the long term affect of drinking.

]]>

The physical, mental and spiritual damage that is caused by drinking alcohol can be seen around you in movies and if you look to books there are so many of them on alcohol and the damage. There is information on alcohol and its damage to families, physical health is so large it is not reasonable to drink. But drinking is an emotional venture, it changes your normal emotional spirit and that is the power of the experience of drinking alcohol.

The second part is how to make your physical energy spirit stronger within your program to recover your God give spirit and purpose. How much physical damage has been done to the body and brain affects the physical part of recovery but the spirit recovery has no limits. Do not under estimate your power to change your judgement and your emotional abilities and enjoyment what you have now by developing your spirit for that can help over come regret. Life is about what you creating now and how you are enjoying and developing the emotional content within your responsibilities that you chose to create. The old saying, it is not about what you have but what you over came in life that is valuable. Life is a challenge to work and develop your emotional spirit within what you do in life with your responsibilities to live.

When a person choose to change from the alcohol emotional spirit behavior, they are going on a emotional journey that is challenging and there has to be a program to give values or relearn values to create from your emotional energy spirit. To replace their alcoholic emotional spirit by recovering your own God given spirit, begins with understanding at some level the emotional physical spirit damage. Finding ideas, concepts and techniques, methods that affect their personal emotional spirit reality and then develop it, into their life that replaces the alcohol emotional spirit. Change is about replacement and not just reacting to it. Programs are key component for person to learn to change and making good choices and develop emotional values. Finding the programs that affect you takes judgement to use the ideas within each program to change your values to life and emotional behavior to your self and others for keep in mind its about interaction and the emotional feeling being projected during the interaction.

This program is to add to all of the other programs that work on aiding person to make judgement decisions with out alcohol influence and feel the physical spirit that is you and what you work from in life. Realizing your a physical spirit being by feeling the flow of energy through out your body is experience that can be repeated but will always feel and be different for person is more then they think in thoughts. First realization is the force within the power of core/breathing that goes to and relate to person internal force development that engages the mind and body coordinating connection. Look to breathing forms as force that works from the internal side of person with the mind and body for to create the breath is working the torso to some level and the more you work the torso the more energy force.

This program is about creating emotional choices by using your spirit to affect the brain and body to change your emotional reality connection to life interaction with others and yourself. Drinking is choice in the beginning but then turns into a compulsion. Your emotional spirit has changed for what is a compulsion, but a lot of energy build up in the body and then it is releases through behavior with alcohol and then relaxation and calmness. Keep in mind the word calmness for recovery for with calmness new direction will be seen and realized and developing techniques that create emotional, physical state of calmness gives clarity in ones emotional state. Meditation and through some form of meditating for short period of time each day and in some way creates calmness that affect persons judgment abilities and can be refined so new judgement direction can be seen. Part of recovery is develop ways to create calmness where thoughts are second to feeling physically and projecting calmness. Calmness has to be projected to be affective in changing a persons emotional states. Just developing calmness for short period of time is nice and helpful but only when person realizes ability to project calmness is the full affect of that state of being, can be felt and used in life. The old saying when you use something then you know it then. Otherwise calmness is thought process and is not part of persons emotional make up everyday.

Keep in mind, alcohol is define as spirits in licenses to sale alcohol for when you drink you replace your spirit with the alcohol spirit. Here is question for people that are starting to drink. What would you lose as an experience of life, if you never taken a drink of alcohol in your life. Then what will you gain if you drink is the other side of the question? To be real about your decision to drink or not to drink, look at the affects of people that have become addicted to alcohol so if you drink, your taking a risk that you can become addicted to alcohol. So drinking alcohol is a physical, mental and emotional risk to become addicted to alcohol with all the loses to your self and others around you. To be a alcoholic just does not affect one person but it hurts other people that care and love you. All alcohol does is lowers the ability to feel and think within events of life and your spirit to life. You just do not do has much in life emotionally with alcohol as your spirit. Remember your a spirit being within a physical body creating choice to develop one self and realize your life.

If you have fallen to alcohol and have become alcoholic and have made the choice to change the challenge is creating choices to develop your emotional behavior reality judgement in your everyday interaction with others. Finding ideas, concepts and methods that have physical techniques that helps you recover from the physical and emotional damages of consuming alcohol and your loss of your ability to love. Only with your own spirit can you love and find the emotional behavior that projects your feeling around you and that takes time and effort to learn how to feel again. Alcohol has damage their body to feel warmth from others so the mind makes up things.

Approach to recovery from alcohol, and even other drugs, has to be a blend of three primal forces that interact that gives us are abilities to be emotional spirit creative beings. The three basic element words are mind, body and spirit within a persons behavior. Alcohol affects all three elements that composes the creative personality and their ability to create their emotional reality in life. There is no emotional life out side of alcohol for the alcoholic that is reality.

The most powerful ideas and concepts to affect recovery and enhance persons emotional attachment to life is around the development of a persons spiritual forces within, to be express through emotional behavior. Through spiritual development affects and influence emotional ideas in the mind (that has been damage from alcohol judgement) that affects decision in physical development and emotional behavior. One of the great forces of being a spiritual being is are ability to pray and feel the affects within a prayer. How you pray within prayer is a force that affects person sense of life and recovering a person spirit of being emotional with judgment and development to others. Praying is natural for its a spirit ability and finding the way to pray is learned to affect energy flow and feeling within prayer which setup the level positive force to feel physically.

Realize the physical damage caused by drinking and being drunk and becoming a alcoholic takes lot of work to recover your energy abilities again to a level that lets a person create emotional attachments out side the range that alcohol limits them. This is physical work, directed by the mind that affects energy production and flow that lets the body feel again with person spirit. Enhancing your physically feeling ability is part of recovery and it takes lot of mental focus to reconnect the mind to the body, then expressing that feeling which is creating new emotional energy channels in physical exercise and walking. Walking is natural act that reflects a person emotional state for people walk with emotions being projected through feelings of the body movement. How you walk is big deal and changing how you walk is changing your emotional feeling being projected. There is sad, mad and happy walking movement that others can see for your projecting these emotional state through movement of the body during walking. So walking and creating a new emotional state to be projected is experience of development.

Suggestion; understand the word spirit from a mental point of view, a physical point of view and energy point of view for it takes all of them to bring human spirit into focus and use. Each point of view has to be seen connected to the other in order to be useful in recovery from alcohol. If you take recovery from alcohol as a personal adventure into truth and responsibility that develops their personal emotions spirit through testing them self in the most positive way, so person realize and develops judgement with action to others and them self.

Note about aging, the older you get the future become less and your mentally relive your past. So what you have done and what you over came in life, either will put smile on your face or sadness will be your everyday feeling. The more and hard you work to create your emotional development can be, if directed effectively will create rewards far above what you think now. Finding methods that affect you in your stages of recovery and personal development take judgement base on purpose. Here is the question and the clearer you have of the answer the more affective within time spent. What emotional reality do you want to create within your self and while interaction with other on daily bases with the time you have left in life.

The word spirit is rooted in the word breath, breathing and to breathe for its energy that composes a persons spirit. The ideas of a persons spirit has history connection to breath and breathing and understanding this history creates choices to affect ones spirit physically. There is Qi Gong, Chic Gong and Zen breathing all relates to the development of spirit by shaping persons breathing and person directive mental state. Singing affects persons spirit to recover from alcoholism. There is whole lot of ideas to explore that can affect you in energy and spirit that lets person to become stronger. Ideas of being is very much part of recovery for they have to fill your head with life and about life and people that love you. You learn about your self through others around you otherwise you do not know your self.

Here is rule if you want to recover from alcoholism. You change through becoming stronger physically internally through breath development and energy flow that affects your emotional abilities. Being clear here, it is physical strength internally from the core and breathing from the core movement, a person needs to change to affect emotions within the development of strength from within your internal feeling that sets up the affects of changing to be positive that over comes the affects from being a alcoholic which is negative in feeling development and connection. Internal strength exercises to become emotionally stronger enhances a person ability to be positive and enjoy their life and being a human being. Judgement and better judgement to become morally stronger comes with being physically stronger within what you due daily in life interacting with others. Here is internal fact, negative emotions will make the body weak. One reason is it change persons breath range and makes it shorter and with less breath less endurance.

The power of core/breathing is central for strength that let person have more choices to create and develop their emotional connection to physical movement. As a exercise walking can be an experience that let a person enhance their physical connection to the mental emotional state by changing stress in shoulder and tension in muscles feeling through out the body while walking. Change your stress and you change your emotional reality. So you have to find techniques that affect stress in shoulders that free up energy and affect the flow energy in the body to enhance feeling.

The approach for males to recover from alcoholism is different then from females for the end is the same but the approach to be affective should be look at differently. Example is males are physical to emotional and females are emotional to physical, so strength is the key but its two different type of development with emotional attitudes within the development of physical exercise to connect to emotional feeling within the body

I like to introduce and new idea or concept to aid person to recover from alcohol addiction within their program. This is base on energy point of view. People have three energy flowing channels and how you affect one influence the other two. There is what you can see the nerves system. The next is what you can not see the acupuncture system or the pressure points through out the body that affect energy flow and feeling and health. The new idea that person can play with to aid in recovery is created by the person them self. I call it the physical emotional energy channels that person use to express their emotional state all the time. Person learns to develop their emotional physical energy channels to express their emotions to other around them and other read them. When you change your emotional energy channels you change your feeling about interaction with life. Walking is emotional event so how you walk is reflection of your emotion mood in the now. Person as the ability to create their emotions and then express it by feeling their body in walking. It is not the only way to affect person emotional energy channels.

Emotional energy channels is physical and its on going with your body tension emitting energy directed by your mental state. Ones emotional energy channel shapes a persons physical body and its movement is to project emotional energy around them. How you shape your body affects your emotional projection ability so by changing your body shape that affects muscle tension within that shape and through core/breathing and mind creating attitude, a person can create a different emotional reality experience within that new shape. This idea uses mind, body and breath, energy build to spirit as a strengthening force to give person a choices to change once they know what to change too.

The development of powerful breathing from the core which affects the whole torso and expands range within the torso that affects persons emotional strength. It is torso strength that is the primary strength then arms and hands and legs and feet. But it all begins in the center of your body and the center of the core. Energy and strength are connected and begins in the center of the core and then goes up to the arms and head or down to legs, feet and toes. The mind directs the energy and strength that the core produces.

The more you move the core to create your breath the greater your physical strength and energy for you are lessening atrophy of the muscles within the torso. Look at your breathing in different emotional states. Breathing is a support of your emotional state so how you change your breathing during events in life affects your emotional reality.

There is so much more about a person spirit, so keep a open mind with judgement and purpose and do not waste your time and energy in life its short in supply. Warning: Be careful what you ask for, you may get it.

This program and ideas is base on the fact that humans are a spiritual being having a human experience. By being spiritual being, people can create choices within their spirit through their interaction in life and their purpose and judgements. Keep in mind spirit is only one part interacting with the other two parts. Mind. body and spirit (breath and energy). The importance of developing core/breathing to enhance person internal connection to mind and body and strength physically and emotionally should be a major part of recovery for its the spirit side of change in life.

http://www.bartleyenergycoach.com. After many years of teaching at a drug rehab, my program of stress managment to replace addiction impulse and seeing people leave the program in good mental and physical shape but then seeing them back after a few month, in the program gave rise to some questions. The question is what is the problem that a person has to realize so they can create a different emotional reality force that is more powerful then their drug emotional development. It is balance of mind, body and spirit and realizing humans are spiritual being looking for ways to develop their spirit force of life. The word LOVE is only one example of the emotional reality that only humans can create as bond between others that reflects the human spirit. Drugs damages the bodies ability within energy flow and feeling that affect a person spirit force in life for it affects breathing ability. Finding techniques to affect ones spirit that over comes the damage that drugs has caused, that affects persons abilities in life to feel and project a large range of feeling take lot of work within the mind, body and spirit connecting together. In todays culture drugs are a powerful personal force and causes much damage to a person spirit in life but its just a challenge to create emotional reality and over come and realize their own personality within their short period of time in life. Just using mental reasoning base on drugs are bad, and you have emotional conflicts all mental base ideas, that are need, but they do not directly affect persons spirit only the mind and some what the body. Drug attact the spirit of person the most and affect the body and mind for under the influences of drugs person form judgement that affect their life. Releasing old drug emotional reality is PAINFUL experience and also needs replacement to it. Drug addiction is a spiritual set back and unless that is address all reasoning will fail to change person behavior and emotional reality only when reasoning is connnected to spirit does it have driving force of action and reality. The first part of recovery should be centered around spirit and being a spiritual being and how drug reality changes it and the great lose happens within person.

How to Avoid Energy Audit Disasters: A Guide to Picking a Quality Energy Auditor

Posted on October 21, 2011 by Admin

How to Avoid Energy Audit Disasters: A Guide to Picking a Quality Energy Auditor John Avina, CEM, CMVP
Abraxas Energy Consulting

There are a few problems that work against you when trying to find a company to perform a good energy audit for you.

Everybody and their brother now claims to do energy audits
Nobody quite agrees on exactly what an energy audit is

In this paper, I am going to cover these problems and then tell you how to select a quality energy auditor and not get ripped off.

Everybody and their Brother Now Claims to do Energy Audits

With the struggles of the economy in the United States, everyone who is not making money is looking around to see what sectors are still making money. Energy consulting has done well so far. The energy consulting companies are not laying off people, rather, they are hiring. And with the focus on cost-cutting, companies are starting to realize that utilities are not a fixed cost, but actually, a cost that can be reduced by 10% to 30%. Throw in the promise of stimulus funds, and you have a new service offering for companies that are seeing their sales plummet. We are seeing real estate management companies, real estate brokers, electrical and mechanical contractors, and equipment sellers all trying to sell and perform energy audits. On top of that, now some of the very large companies have entered the market. And then there are the legions of unemployed who are constantly calling us asking us to teach them how to become energy auditors. There is a good and a bad to the rush into energy consulting. The good is that with more competitors, costs go down. The bad is that the with decreased costs the quality of the work suffers as well. Companies new to auditing often don’t have experienced auditors and produce poor quality audits Often these contractors and real estate companies don’t even do the audits themselves, but contract them out to others. They are just taking a cut off the top.

Every Company has a Different Idea of What an Energy Audit is

Energy Audit was a term that just had too many meanings. Two different companies could theoretically perform an energy audit, and one could spend 5 hours, and the other 80 hours. With this type of variation in audits, the customer and the auditor often had different ideas in mind on just what was to be done.

The American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has taken important steps to clarify just what should comprise an audit. ASHRAE has defined the requirements for 3 levels of audits, entitled ASHRAE Level 1, ASHRAE Level 2 and ASHRAE Level 3 audits. Because of this, a customer can ask for a Level 1 audit, and all the vendors should be able to deliver the same level and quality of report. Unfortunately, this is still not true.

Recently we placed a bid for ,500 for an ASHRAE Level 1 Energy Audit, and were beat by the competition that did the audit for 3. We typically spend about 40 to 50 hours on an ASHRAE Level 1 audit. Assuming our competitor spent 40 hours, and charged 3, that comes to charging /hr for the work, which you know they didn’t do. We figured that either: the auditor that won the job is not delivering much, the auditor is using the audit to sell products and services, or the auditor is being paid very little.

Fortunately, we got to see the 3 audit once it was completed. The auditor didn’t deliver much. It was 3 pages, and a handful of ASHRAE forms filled out. Although it was sold as an ASHRAE Level 1 audit, it wasn’t. The audit did not address most of the ASHRAE Level 1 requirements. Customers just don’t know what comprises an ASHRAE Level 1 audit. That is the problem.

You Get What You Pay For

Think about it, you do get what you pay for. Right now in San Luis Obispo California, plumbers are going for 0/hr or more. Energy auditors, with the same amount of experience, but also, who have studied energy in school (most are mechanical engineering graduates), and have learned a highly technical field should be charging more than your local plumber or electrician. When you get a quote for an audit, just divide it by 0/hr, and you will get a ballpark number of hours they expect to spend on the job. Experienced, credentialed energy auditors in the US are commanding about 0,000/year right now. Good auditors are expensive, but so are good plumbers. You get what you pay for.

Why Some Companies Offer Free or Nearly Free Audits

Some companies will offer energy audits for free, or nearly free. When this is done, usually the company offering the audit is trying to sell an “energy saving” device, or perhaps wants to do the installation on the energy efficient measures once they are found. I have no problem with the second type of vendor, as their audits may be good, but often the first type of vendor is typically not providing a comprehensive energy audit, but only an audit that focuses around their product. What is important for the customer is that these limited scope audits are going to miss some real energy savings opportunities due to the auditor’s narrow focus.

There are also well-meaning nonprofits who will perform audits for free. These audits are often very cursory, and are not performed by experienced auditors. Often these nonprofits will get a grant to save energy. The grants are usually not for very much money, and as a result, they cannot hire experienced energy auditing staff. The result is poor work.

Finally, some utilities are now performing energy audits for free. In some cases, this can be a tremendous opportunity. In California, for example, for the investor owned electric utilities hire experienced professional energy consultants to do the work. The audit is free to the customer, but the utility is paying the going price for the audit. They get good audits. On the other hand, some utilities will use their own staff to perform the audits, and sometimes their auditing staff doesn’t have the experience to perform satisfactory work.

Experience Really Counts with Energy Audits

Energy auditing is not just finding inefficient lighting fixtures and suggesting they be replaced with more efficient fixtures. This is, indeed, part of the job, but this is the easy part. Auditing requires a thorough understanding of chillers, boilers, air handlers, package units, control systems and their components, not to mention compressed air and domestic hot water.

You see, energy audits of commercial buildings are not something you can learn in a week. It takes years of learning, making mistakes, and watching others make mistakes before you can become adept at energy auditing. There are an infinite number of HVAC configurations possible. Experienced auditors uncover these new situations every year.

The problem with inexperienced auditors is that they are more likely to miss energy conservation opportunities, or they may make suggestions that just don’t work, or some that may result in damage to your equipment.

How to Select a Good Energy Auditor

So when you select an auditor, it is very important you go with someone, or a company that has years of experience. I would suggest 10 years at the least. The way to ensure that you are getting a quality audit is to ask for the resume of who is going to perform the audit, and get some references. The auditor should be a Professional Engineer (PE) and/or a Certified Energy Manager (CEM). If they are not, then you are taking a big chance. Also the auditor should have at least 10 years under their belt. You don’t want them learning the trade on your job. Also, get a sample audit or two. You should know what you are paying for. With sample audits in hand, then you can make sense of the different prices you get from potential energy auditors. Finally, please ask for references, and call them. Find out if your auditors were professional, met their deadlines, and provided quality work.

When you are evaluating companies:

Talk to 2 or 3 companies and select the best one.
Ask for Resumes of who will actually be onsite. Ensure that the lead auditor has 10 years of experience or more. Also be sure that they have at least 10 years of experience doing energy audits. A lot of times you will get resumes of their best people, and they will send their junior level people onsite. Make sure you get resumes of who will actually be doing the work.
Ask for sample energy audits from the company. Since all of your potential vendors are going to be producing audits of differing quality, you can now judge and rank the companies on the deliverable. Also you can now weed out the companies that are not providing quality analysis.
Ask for References of some jobs they have done recently. You don’t have to call them. First make sure that the references are for energy auditing jobs, and not some other task. If you do plan on calling them, find out if they finished work on schedule, whether the reports were accurate, and whether the reports met expectations.1

This is what government typically does, although they sometimes put out Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that are so demanding that they require the energy auditing companies to work for days just to get a shot at the job. I would suggest, if at all possible, avoid using a detailed RFP process as the best auditors may also be the most busy, and might not have the time to spend putting together an RFP response.

These suggestions I have given should apply to buildings over 100,000 SQFT. If you are considering audits of small facilities, such as 20,000 SQFT, the work and costs involved are not that great and taking so much care to select the best auditing company is probably overkill. Still, don’t select an auditing company based solely on price, or you will be sorry.

1A colleague of mine warned me on the reference issue. Suppose you had an energy audit done. How many calls are you going to want to take to give a good recommendation? We don’t want to burden our customers with having to give references for the next year or two. He’s right. Please be judicious on the calls to spare our past clients too much interruption.

Prana energy proliferated via gayatri meditation

Posted on October 21, 2011 by Admin

‘Gaya’ means Prana or vital force and ‘Tri’ means to liberate. ‘Gayate pranaha iti gayatri’ which means that which liberates Prana is called Gayatri. Trana means to liberate or free. Prana is a bound conscious principle to the body, senses and their objects. By liberating Prana from this bondage one realizes one’s divine conscious state. In this manner the entire science of Prana dwells within Super Energy Gayatri. Previously those Extrasensory Potentials or ESP discussed can be attained via Gayatri Meditation and Worship.

The word Prana has its root in ‘Pra’ prefix and ‘An’ Dhatu. ‘Ana’ Dhatu connotes life force and consciousness. Hence the word Prana means conscious energy. It is also called ‘latent heat’ and ‘psychic force’. In Tandya Jaimini (12-1-2) and Shatpath Brahman texts it is said: Gayatriprano vai gayatri. It is also said ‘daviyanutati gayatri’ which means this electricity is Gayatri. Thus we can see that Gayatri, Prana, electricity is one principle and with its aid all daily life’s activities are executed. Vashishthaji by conducting deep research on Prane-electricity present in air unearthed those norms of Pranayam (Yogic breathing exercises) which not only greatly augment human potentials but that it helps man contact subtle powers of other worlds or Lokas. Detailed explanation is given in Prana Vidya Prakaran, 6th chapter, 24th Sukta and 20-31 Mantras. Over here it is said that just as an engineer uses technology/machines in the same way this Prana Energy helps transact all of life’s daily activities.

During Gayatri Meditation in what manner can Prana Energy be attracted, imbibed and evolved in great measure? Regarding this Indian seers and philosophers have conducted deep scientific experiments. Spiritual seers have categorized Prana into 2 parts: Microcosm and Macrocosm. Microcosm encompasses which is seen functioning in the material world. Macrocosm includes which sways as life in the conscious world. Both these are called Adhidaivik, cosmic and spiritual, microcosmic or Hiranyagarbha.

Adhi daivikena samashti vyashti rupena hairanya garbhena.

Pranatmanaivaitad vibhutva magnayate nadhyatmikena.

………………..Brahma Sutra-Shankar Bhashya

The cosmic form is Hiranya Garbha macrocosm. The individual form is Adhidaivik microcosm.

Atomic energy related to microcosm is the very basis on which modern material science functions. Varied forces and energies of electricity, heat, light, radiations etc function in this very fount. The activity noted in atoms is that of the sun. Ere solar light did not reach earth it would be rendered withered and arid. No movement of any sort would be noted. One would fail to note atom’s mobility, production of matter, their augmentation and transformation. Modern material science has unearthed atomic energy given to earth by the sun and via various inventions after using them the world’s material comforts have been increased dramatically. Science has unfolded many terrific sources of various forces and energies. Yet never must we fall under an illusion that the cosmic infinite vault of energy is limited to the material potency of nuclear energy.

Prana can be said to be all pervasive activity of energy waves of this inert material world. In the conscious world Prana can be called sensitivity and emotions. Sensitivity would encompass will, wisdom and action. Living beings sustain themselves because of it. With its aid they desire, think and make due efforts. The more one possesses this life force the more one’s Prana is rendered potent. Thus with greater Prana power one can become a great saint, divine personality and Almighty God from an ordinary lay person. The cosmic existence of consciousness which pervades the entire cosmos is called conscious Prana. A creature who to a certain extent with due effort imbibes this cosmic conscious Prana becomes Great or Super Prana in nature.

In the Prashnopanishad (1-7) sun is said to be the root center of Prana-

Sa esha vaishwanaro vishwa rupaha pranogtirud yate.

This is a mundane description. Everyone knows that on earth for the creation of life the credit goes to solar rays.

The center of the life force of the gross world is the sun. It has 5 Prana principles.

Adityau havai vahyaha prana udayatyesha hyenam chakshasham prana.

In the Prashnopanishad it is said-

Manu gruhananaha prithivyam ya devata saisha purushsyapan.

Mavashtabhyantara yadakashaha sa samano vayu dhwanihi tejo havai udanaha.

This sun itself is external Prana or life force. By rising at dawn it renders active all movements of the visible world. The Super of Great Prana of the sun helps the body called this world to remain alive. It pervades the 5 elements or Tattva in the form of 5 Pranas.

A scientist of Soviet Russia Dr Ushakov while detailing his research on the Polar Region has put forth a new precept. He opines that oxygen or air which is the substratum of life is not the creation or wealth of earth. It in fact flows in the Prana stream of sun and here on earth by uniting the principle activity in the earth’s atmosphere ‘oxygen’ is generated. Ere the sun were to obstruct sending this Prana flow or else for some reason planet earth fails to absorb it then due to diminishing levels of oxygen life on earth would be difficult to sustain. At a height of 62 miles from earth this Prana commences to get converted to oxygen. This oxygen does not get showered like rain clouds anywhere and everywhere but that it first gets focused on North Pole. And then via the medium of the South Pole it is shared with the entire earth. The fact that we see twinkling colors in the Polar region aura is proof of presence of oxygen with electrical zone.

The goal of Pranayam or Prana Science is to attract apt measure of this Solar Prana and imbibe it in the body. In order to radiate electromagnetic force that augmentation of Prana required is attained via special Pranayams (Yogic breathing exercises) that have their roots in Prana based spiritual practices. Via the well designed methods of Swara Yoga and Prana science Kundalini or Divine Serpent Energy fire is lit in such a manner akin to an ironsmith intensifies fire of a furnace using a hollow pipe into which he blows air. By attracting Prana principle from infinite space via the nostrils the magnetic flow inspired by solar principle is rendered very speedy and potent.

Thus because of this created light al of one’s Prana which was sleeping and latent awakens. As soon as the sun rises at dawn birds, beasts etc on giving up their sleep zestfully start their daily chores. Buds bloom into flowers and the influence of air intensifies. In the same way via Prana spiritual practices both our poles get filled up with energy flow movements akin to one seen at sunrise are noted. Not only the gross physical body but that our subtle and causal bodies too, along with their visible/invisible units exhibit their functional activities. A devotee feels as though like a snake shedding its old skin becomes new and radiantly energized.

Sometimes due to special outbursts seen on the sun a stream emitted by it enters earth and thus manifest magnetic storms on earth’s Polar Regions. Its reactions are not limited to this region only but that it influences the entire world. Many times this magnetic storm creates very joyous and useful results and many times from them come such principles which induce danger in the entire world. Once, in the year 1938 a magnetic storm emerged in the Polar Regions and its terrific brilliance was seen right up to Africa and Crimea. It influenced not only material objects but also various living beings. Such electric storms manifested Ice Age on earth. For so long a major chunk of earth was covered with freezing ice. Oceans were flooded and land became ocean and ocean got converted into a desert. It is said that somewhere air, water and fire Pralaya (world annihilation) can take place and these magnetic storms are capable of totally changing the map of the world.

Nature based magnetic storms appear due to changes in 5 elements or due to laws of destiny. But via Yoga practices such magnetic storms can be induced in the subtle world which will not only influence sky based stars, galaxies etc but divine existence centers and demigods too. The conscious center Savita that influences our world can in turn be jolted by men of terrific austerities. Great intensity in Polar Light and Aura is seen in March and September (in Chaitra and Ashwin Navratri as per Hindu calendar). The reason being that the earth’s axis lies at an apt angle in relation to the sun. This is said to be the most appropriate time to sow seeds. Even pregnancies occur most during these times. This is the time flowers bloom. It is during these times that devotees attain greatest fruit of penance. When we conjoin earth’s magnetic attraction to solar light magnetism only then this brilliance intensifies gigantically and its reaction elicits astounding results in human daily living. Not only this, but even the environment can be influenced.

Alexander Marshek has ‘heard’ energy influences manifesting in the solar system and galaxies in the form of light and sound that has been measured by scientific technology. These sounds are like well designed music and their tones. By itself with the ears a general sound is merely heard and its special import cannot be understood. Yet latest scientific studies in the field of Astronomy clarifies that this sound flow is very powerful which flows from the sun to the Polar Regions and via it such influences are seen on the bodies and psyche of man and other creatures which is not possible to manifest even by individual intense human effort. These influences could be both wholesome and unwholesome.

Within Yoga practices, Sadhana or practices related to sound waves predominate. Within Kundalini Yoga practices Bindu and Kala methods helps us understand unknown energy streams so as to establish a strong bond with them. In Naad Sadhana or sound waves based spiritual endeavor we can hear conch, bell, whistle, thundering clouds etc. These are meant not merely to focus our psyche but are executed so that one can imbibe and benefit from those gifts showered by various worlds-Lokas, galaxies and subtle divine centers akin to ones given by sun to earth. Kundalini aspirants/devotees have to execute such methodologies. As a result they can experience within their inner core personality very rare and mind boggling principles similar to divine boons.

The nature and form of Polar Aura is like a search light. In comparison to the north it is more intense in the southern region. From this it seems that this aura brilliance is running speedily from the North Pole to the South Pole. Divine brilliance incarnating in our brain region too rushes towards our genitals and center of Kundalini Shakti. In the South Pole region birds called penguins are found. They are very serene in nature they behave very lovingly towards guests that come to see them. In reality South Pole is a center of Kala or Cupid. From here flows the radiant stream of love’s softness, sweetness and straightforwardness. Like the penguin bird in the recesses of our genitals ooze bliss and zest. If it is activated, then in life will spring forth the fount of cupid like joy and enthusiasm. The South Pole is at a height of 19000 feet from the ocean shore. It can be called the upsurge of world body’s genitals. In Indian Puranas it is called the Shiva Linga. This upsurge is also seen in female genital organs albeit in a minute form.

As a result of the strange picture of solar rays on the Polar Regions everything appears to be like a magical city. Generally ones shadow over here appears double in form. A realized spiritual seer too sees his 2 friends Para and Apara Prakriti roaming alongside him/her and believes him-self or her-self to be the imperishable soul (Atman) that is separate from its 2 shadows called gross and subtle bodies.

The aim of Indian Prana Science is that by attracting in optimal measure Prana stream present within solar energy that gets rained on the 2 Poles so as to nourish in an all round manner gross and subtle consciousness with its help.

By attracting with the help of the brain light particles of some unknown founts of light the subtle body of light can be greatly advanced. Although this is a bit difficult yet science is proving this too. For unearthing this scientific proof a Russian astronomer Chizovski had to put penance like intense efforts.

Initially for hours together either he would sit under the hot blazing sun or else under the cool soothing rays of moonlight. Alongside he would note down all mental changes/thoughts taking place within. Then he studied history of 400 years related to the rise-fall of human personality and yearly statistics of various types of diseases. As a result he realized that the brilliance of sun etc and its 11 years sunspots had a strong relationship with man’s psychic state. Regarding this we will make a detailed discussion later but here it is utmost important to understand one’s mode of thinking related to those glands like thyroid, adrenal and pituitary of the brain are all ductless. It means that they are not influenced by any chemical materials. The subtle units of light or Prana flow exactly like electrical particles flow in a wire. One’s sentiments are exactly of the type of light particles present in us. Under hot sunlight lethargy, anger etc emotions gush forth and under moonlight one feels serene, romantic and blissful. If a person were to focus his mind on the source of light it would mean that our ductless glands is establishing an electromagnetic bond with that fount and those particles get filled in us speedily. The more meditation is profound and focused we can clearly to that extent experience the speed of evolution of the subtle body towards that attraction and thus one day we actually merge into that infinite eternal fount so as to attain Sidhi or self realization.

For example along with Gayatri Meditation one has to meditate on the sun too. During the meditative state a bond is established between the electromagnetic stream of the sun and ductless glands situated in the pigtail region of the brain. Thus particles of solar brilliance commence entering our body. In this manner while our Prana Body advances manifold it becomes feather weight, divine and radiant like sun light.

A MULTIFACETED SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF WELL BEING VIA PRANA ENERGY:

Once, King Divodas’ son Pratardan wished to see heaven. Taking commands from his father Pratardan went to heaven. Indra was greatly impressed by Pratardan’s enterprise and war oriented skills. He respectfully welcomed Pratardan and said: How can I serve you? Pratardan replied: Lord! I have enough wealth, food, children, fame etc. What more can I ask from you? I do not want anything.

Indra laughingly said: Child! I know a man of enterprise and hard work lacks nothing in this world. Yet even though he is capable of earning enough wealth, joyous comforts etc he must yearn for world welfare and well being. There is no greater glory to be attained on earth apart from the good merits of service to the world. As a result in fact you shall attain God or Self realization. Hence I will teach you the science of Prana that aids in selflessly and devotedly serving the world.

After this Indra instructed Pratardan on the subject of Prana principle. He said: Prana very is Brahman or God. Via spiritual endeavor, great Yogis and Rishi-Munis imbibe Prana in their soul and with its aid usher in world well being.

In the 2nd chapter of Kaushitaki Upanishad Lord Indra taught this Prana Science to Pratardan and in it is a very important elucidation of it. Indra further unfolds the mystery of how with the help of Prana Science an individual oozing with Prana Energy transmit it to others and how via it one can elicit inner inspirations and thoughts in others individuals. Adding further on this topic Indra says:

Atha khalu tasmadetamevoktha mupasit. Yo vai pranaha sa prajna ya va prajna sa prana……..sa yada pratibudhyate yathagnervisfulling. Vipratisthante pranebhyo deva devebhyo loka………

MEANING: When the mind thinks, other Pranas by becoming its allies become powerful thinkers. When the eyes see an object other Pranas mimic them. When the speech utters words other Pranas follow in its footsteps. In the function of the chief Prana other Pranas cooperate wholly.

In other verses it is detailed that by inactivating the mind along with all sense organs the power of resolve or Sankalpa Shakti is united with Pranas. Such a person becomes a knower of divine wisdom. He/she via Prana Energy can influence and inspire just about anyone. Their message and teachings can be heard and imbibed anywhere. By merging our Prana with their Prana people of weak potential can potently awaken their Prana in a manifold way. Even an inert mountain cannot ignore the commands of those people oozing with divine wisdom. Those who harbor hatred towards such divine personalities get destroyed wholly.

In this very Upanishad there is guidance that when a father realizes he is the door of death he must establish his Prana energy in his son (Guru, disciple or disciples). He must gift speech, Prana, nose, eyes, ears, power of mobility, intellect etc and his son must imbibe it. After this the father or Guru by becoming a Sanyasi must leave that place and that the son or disciple must be asked to take over, meaning that the tradition or lineage of spirituality must not get obstructed in any way.

In ancient times this tradition was very much in vogue like today’s powerful technology. A knower Guru of Prana Science by giving up his very life enhanced the personality and potentials of his/her disciple. As a result with humble faith people regularly visited hermitages/Ashrams of great Rishis. The Rishis by giving their Prana would render people radiant, intelligent and full of enterprise. Maharshi Dhaumya had led Aruni, Gautam led Jabali, Indra led Arjun, Yama led Nachiketa and Shukracharya led Kaccha to a high stature inner state. Even today via true God realized masters and Gurus the torch of this tradition continues to shine forth. Paramhans Ramkrishna did Shaktipat (transmission of Divine Energy) on Swami Vivekananda. The latter in turn imbued Prana in Sister Nivedita. Via Prana Energy Yogi Aurobindo sent a message to call Mother Yajnashikha to Pondicherry Ashram from Paris who managed the ashram and edited its magazine. By giving her the Science of Yoga rendered her a master of Indian Spiritual Philosophy.

It is said that when Lord Rama was in exile in the forest at that time Lakshman by controlling his radiant Prana sent news of their daily life everyday to his wife residing far off Ayodhya. Urmila in turn broadcasted this news via paintings to Raghuvansh family and like a wireless wire everyone duly got this latest news.

Anasuya dwelled alone in a hermitage. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh disguising themselves, visited her so as to test her. Muni Atri had gone out somewhere. It was he who had identified God’s 3 fold form and this hidden message was transmitted to his wife Anasuya via Prana Energy. Hindu scriptures are full of such stories.

Today’s modern science based world society, argue about these stories. People suspect and doubt and say that is it possible for one man to send a message to another person at a far off distance without any technology and apparatus?

If we try to cogitate deeply even modern science has proof for the above. Who does not know about wireless transmission (and cell phones today)? Sound is converted to electric waves. These waves in turn flow in ether principle by becoming streams. The more a transmitter is powerful, to that extent electrical waves will flow speedily towards far off areas. Other wirelesses or radio set up with the same frequency will catch these sound waves and reconvert them to sound which can be heard by people sitting nearby. Now none can distrust such crystal clear scientific proof.

Whatever we utter first manifests as thoughts in our mind and thus thoughts do exist in this world. In the above verses it has been said that when mental or thought energy unites with Prana other Pranas cooperate. This means that via the medium of Prana consciousness which includes actions, thinking, emotions etc dwelling in our body can be sent to any person in a far off region.

Egypt’s medical science specialist Papirus had given a scientific form of medical therapy which involved the doctor caressing the head of the patient. Emperor Pirus and Vaise Pasiyan via such therapy were cured of a dangerous disease. In the medical therapy administered to France’s royal family members, right from Francis I to Charles 10 magnet was used in powerful cure methods. Especially was used touch of hand and special focused vision.

In the year 1600 the great scholar Scotchman Maxwell put forth the precept that there exists a life force that pervades the entire cosmos. Via effort more or less of it can be filled in ourselves and can be used to uplift ourselves both materially and spiritually.

Previous to Maxwell a great thinker Goklonium via sound logic and proof had proved that the chief basis of soul power in mankind is this life force which was understood to be of the stature of ‘living magnet’. Von Helmont by using this energy had gained fame for curing very painful dire illnesses and diseases. Due to such capacity Mahaprabhu during his lifetime was called a Siddha saint.

Sataneli, an Italian scientist in the early part of 18th century via many experiments had proved that within the human reside intense electrical radiations.

Right from the year 1734 to 1815 for most of his life span Dr Frederic Mesmer conducted research on the existence and utility value of Prana Energy. He systematically wrote down the conclusions of his long research and gave it the name-Mesmerism. Later his student Constant Usigar added a new chain of mesmerism science to the above and gave the name hypnotism to inducing of sleep artificially. Other scholars of France too unearthed new data after due research in this area. La Fontaine and Dr Brad while continuing research in this subject rendered it so apt that in medical therapy it could be used credibly.

In the past few years in New Orleans USA is constructing such a center for research studies. USA scientist Darlene and French one Dr Durand de Gras’ research studies imbued faith in the modern scientific world that use of Prana Energy use in comparison to other well established medical therapies is no less beneficial. This methodology was called Electro Biological. Lee Vault’s book on medical therapy based on human electricity received credibility and was praised too. Regarding this the names of 3 major institutions that conducted deep research into it are:

1) The School of Nancy

2) The School of Charkot

3) The School of Mesmerist

Apart from these there are other big minor research centers that encourage both individual and collective experimentation.

Research of scientist Modavyuz and Count Puligar proved that medical cure via Prana energy is merely child’s play. In reality it can be used for much higher stature. On its basis man can manifest multifaceted radiance in his personality. He can become skillfully brilliant. He can cross over many stages of self belief. By influencing material objects experiments can be conducted to render them more useful and via this influence the nature of living beings can be transformed. German electric scientist called Richen Bach believes it to be a special type of fire. He opines that this fire chiefly is found around one’s face and gave it the name-aura. He found this fire to dwell in greater measure in the genitals rather than one’s face periphery. Other researchers opined that greater measure of it dwells in one’s eyes and finger tips.

Hong Kong’s American Dr Arnold Fast conducted many small operations on patients by inducing sleep in them via hypnotic methods. Later dental surgeons too used this method and found that instead of using anesthesia based chemicals to render the teeth/gums temporarily painless hypnotic methods were more useful. In South Africa, Johannesburg’s Taro Hospital Dr Bernard Lebinson without administering chloroform to patients while using hypnotic methods for anesthesia during surgery proved that this method is not some flimsy magic but is truly scientific in nature. The English scientist James Bride opined that instead of limiting the potential of electrical energy found in nerve centers for body nourishment only other useful activities too can be executed with its aid.

During the 2nd world war people in order to decipher war secrets dwelling in the psyche of others used mysteries techniques of Prana Electricity based applications. The psychologist J H Atsbrook had unearthed many new principles regarding this and its application was taught to detective officers. For this Germany had designated a totally separate department called Hypnotized Intelligence. With its help, so much amazing success came their way.

There is no limit to the potential and miracles pertaining to Prana Energy. Just as those countries which have access to nuclear energy technology etc are considered leaders of the world similarly the potency of men imbued with intense Prana Energy are not only no less in comparison but in fact exceed them by miles.

As long as our nation was aware of this science our stature too was very high in the world. Via Gayatri Meditation by conjoining our individual Prana to cosmic Prana we fill up infinite vault of divine energy in ourselves and with its aid not only do we benefit but that hundreds others coming in our contact too experience well being in a multifaceted manner. Atomic energy can be destructive yet if used wholesomely can be used to fulfill the problem of lack of electricity the world over which in turn strengthen areas of agriculture, health etc. The same holds true with Prana Energy and that if used optimally can lead to world welfare both materially and spiritually. Today’s demeaned state of the world can be warded off.

Realized Gurus who have mastered Gayatri Science are akin to the sun. They ooze with the capacity to usher in well being of world denizens. Yet when we see that they do not help some people the reason is that they may misuse this energy. A father will never give money to an alcoholic son and similarly spiritual energy cannot be given to just anyone and everyone. The person receiving it must be full of pious credibility. Yet even the might sun gives heat and light to just about everybody. The same ethics should be imbibed by great saints with relation to Gayatri devotees who are children of divine wisdom. By giving Prana Energy to people maybe they may not do good but by inspiring them to walk on the path of greatness so much welfare can usher in that in comparison to this even the most gigantic mundane aid will pale into insignificance.

Where does Prana come from? What is its source from which one can imbibe it? While searching the same we have to conclude that this priceless wealth can be got from pure air, sacred water, good wholesome (Satvik) food and contact with the sun, sound deep sleep and self satisfied mental state. The more we ignore these energy founts, the more we abstain from them, the more our personality will weaken and wither away. When we earn less and spend more no business will succeed and in the same way how can worldly transactions run smoothly in one’s daily living?

Every activity and desire has limitations. By observing discipline and self control only one gets divine potential. By working more than one’s capacity, harboring desire to augment comforts, by immersing in sense merriment utilizing sense organ potential way beyond their capacity, not observing discipline in one’s daily routine etc do not appear to be very erroneous yet despite these seeming minor like a spark of fire can burn to ashes the blissful garden of our family life. One who ignores ethical and social discipline norms loses his/her credibility and fails to get cooperation and help from other people. One who ignores discipline in his/her individual life loses that very priceless wealth on the basis of which the foundation stones of multifaceted progress are laid down.

Who and for how long can one protect another who drinks poison so as to commit suicide? How long can the Prana Energy of a person remain optimally balanced if he/she continues to drink alcohol, indulge in drug addictions etc? Even hot spices used in food are poison from a certain viewpoint. By ceaselessly agitating the psyche via desire based titillation we ourselves dissipate to naught our life’s wealth and grandeur. Further in order to face the fruits of sins committed by us we enter the hell of diseases, weakness and accident based death.

The great philosopher Confucius rightly proclaims: Those who break the law of spending less will have to face death full of crisis and strife. This sacred utterance of his with reference to wastage of Prana Energy is cent-percent true. Such people play dangerously with their very lives and in the most un-required manner fritter away their potential. Under such circumstances is there any wonder that they thus face dire results like getting shocks at every step of life along with total agitation of mind?

If only we learn to use our Prana Energy very sparingly our life span will increase in a disease free manner. And in fact this saved Prana Energy can be used for wholesome goals like service to world creatures and humanity.

We tend to waste our Prana Energy by gluttonously eating food even when our body does not require it. For protection of the body there is need of minimal and health augmenting food. Instead we heat such food which induces indigestion. We erroneously think that by eating expensive, tasty and more food we will become strong. Yet the results are bang opposite wherein the strength that manifests from its eating does not reach the body simply because it is used in digesting the eaten rich food. As a result from the bodily health a vigor standpoint we daily reap nothing but losses and by declaring ourselves ‘bankrupt’ from the health standpoint we enter the jaws of death. Opposite to this those who with effort imbibe a lot of Prana Energy without frittering it away not only glorifies human life but also generates in his/her life a great deal of material wealth and prosperity.

Can renewable energy sources solve the UK’s energy problems?

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Admin

There are many different types of renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy, wind energy, wave energy, tidal energy, hydro electrical energy and biomass energy, now these renewable energy sources won’t necessarily help resolve UK’s energy problems because they all have disadvantages.

The disadvantage of solar energy isthere is less available solar energy in areas near the poles of the Earth. Cloud cover can reduce efficiency.

The disadvantage of geothermal energy is it can only be used in some areas around the world, where the crust is thin and hot rocks are near the surface. Sometimes the hot water that is pumped to the surface contains pollutants such as sulphur.

The disadvantages of wind energy are to be efficient wind turbines need to be linked together in wind farms, often with about 20 turbines. This looks unsightly, and can be noisy. The wind farms also need to be sited reasonably close to populations so that the electricity generated can be distributed. Another disadvantage is that winds are intermittent and do not blow all the time.

The disadvantage of wave energy is the turbines can be unsightly. Wave heights vary considerably, so they would not produce a constant supply of energy.

The disadvantage of tidal energy is Present designs do not produce a lot of electricity, and barrages across river estuaries can change the flow of water and, consequently, the habitat for birds and other wildlife.

The disadvantages of hydro electrical energy is a good site for a hydroelectric scheme, such as a mountainous region, is not always near towns. The building of large dams floods large areas and causes damage to existing habitats. ??Changing the flow of a river will affect the water supply to lands nearer the sea. This may cause problems of irrigation for crops.

The disadvantage of biomass is biomass energy sources are no more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels because they recycle carbon into the atmosphere when they are burned. Carbon dioxide, which is produced when these fuels are burned, is a major cause of the greenhouse effect.

The most sustainable energy use is no energy use.

Current renewable production methods of hydrogen include H2 production from biomass, from water by electrolysis and the Millennium Cell alternative, Hydrogen on Demand. The advantage is that the storage of the sodium borohydrate is inherently safe. It is a derivative of borax, which is a natural raw material with substantial natural reserves.

Nanotechnology can also contribute to the improvement of conventional energy sources including coal, oil, gas, and nuclear energy and electricity. The report covers both nanotechnology contributions to electricity production and to primary energy production. To start with electricity, the production from coal or natural gas can be made more efficient by using nanotechnology in turbine plants. In nuclear energy, nanotechnology can help improve the radiation resistance of the materials.

Overall renewable energy sources are good energy sources because they will not run out, you can reuse them again but that doesn’t mean this will solve UK’s energy problems. Nanotechnology is an option of solving UK’s energy problems but that is not reliable I think for natural energy, it is not 100% certain that it will improve conventional energy sources.

In my opinion I think what will definitely solve UK’s energy problems is simply the UK’s population, us the people, if we use less electricity, less water when not needed we save energy and help reduce costs, we should become more energy efficient and find ways to help decrease UK’s energy problems by fixing in solar-panel roofs to let in natural sunlight, have materials which can sustain heat, air ventilation through ceilings and doors when its hot and more energy saving light bulbs, use less electrical heaters, to save gas, wear more jumpers and layers instead! Simple!

This will help to solve the UK’s energy problems if everyone wastes less energy.
