rhy, I did not know the existence of Prune People until I saw the Rick Steves' Christmas in Europe last weekend and they showed a display of them.
Good luck with your search. I hope someone can help you.
Maybe because they were featured on the tv program you can do a search on the rick steves website. Deborah

Prune people are found at the Nuremberg Christmas market. However, I don't know if you can buy them online. Beware - I brought some home one year, but when I pulled them out of my suitcase the weevils had crawled out of the prunes and creeped me out.

Weevils? I'm glad it wasn't some worse "pest" that destroys crops, etc.

My Mom had hers for at least 15 years before the dog tried to eat them (luckily no bugs). The dog didn't actually eat them, but chewed them up beyond recognition.

My mom used to make applehead dolls - same principle I suppose. She carved the head out of apples, and then dehydrated them in the oven to preserve them. They eventually 'aged' and got darker as the years wore on.

I thought you meant the "professional sunbathers" who spend every moment of daylight of their holiday basking on the beach. I've seen a few prune people on the beaches in Greece
Report Abuse
I figured people would get a kick out of the name, but they are real, and I guess only sold at Christmas markets in Germany. by the way, my Moms next door neighbor could be considered one of the human Prune People; she was always sunbathing and is now guite wrinkled (like a prune)

Hi rhy,
acc. to the answers some people maybe think, that you are holding them on.
But prune people really exist and can be found at almost every Xmas market in Bavaria and around and also in the Czech Republic.
In Bavarian dialect they have the almost unspeakable name Zwetschgenmanderl. Look at this in the net.
www.almosteurope.com for instance can supply them.
Merry Christmas and beware of your dog next time.
Report Abuse
The "Zwetschgenmanderl" on that site are painted pewter, not made from prunes.

Frankfurt's Christmas market is also known for Quetschenmännchen. Though they're usually much smalelr than your description, and I don't think their heads are made of walnuts. It's more like a prune figurine with icing.

Mildred Keeter-Davis
SHELBY - Mildred Keeter-Davis, 93, passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013, at Sterling House in Shelby. Born in Cleveland County, she was the daughter of the late Abroth Waddell and Leah Mildred Jolley Hamrick. She was also preceded in death by her late husband, Hoyt S. Keeter, Sr.; brother, Broadus Hamrick; sisters, Linaria Philbeck, Ola Blanton, Odenia Goforth, Inez Hamrick, Nellie Peeler, Lois Clark, and Mable Whisnant.
Mildred was born in Mooresboro and was a lifelong resident of Cleveland County. She spent her life enriching the lives of others by supporting many charitable organizations. She served on the boards of the Abuse Prevention Council of Cleveland County, the YMCA, and the Boys' and Girls' Club of Cleveland County. She served also as vice president of the Shelby Junior High School PTA. When Shelby-Cleveland County decided to pursue the acquisition of the American Legion World Series on a permanent basis, Mildred gave the lead gift to make that dream the acknowledged success it has become.
Mildred's faith was very important to her, and she demonstrated its importance by teaching in youth activities, Sunday school and Vacation Bible School.
Even though she was never an employee of Keeter Ford, she spent countless hours supporting her late husband Hoyt S. Keeter, Sr. in his efforts to make Keeter Ford into the highly respected Ford dealership it became and continues to be.
Mildred had an adventurous spirit and loved being outdoors where she could indulge her passions for gardening, golfing and fishing. She served as the garden club coordinator for the Cleveland County Fair and was a long-term member of the Cleveland Springs Garden Club.
Family members called her Mimi and describe her as compassionate, generous and loving. She was most proud of her three grandchildren, who were the highlights of her life. Whether they were involved in dance, baseball, beauty pageants, soccer or school, Mimi was their biggest supporter and cheerleader.
All who knew her will continue to celebrate her as the advocate she was for family, faith and community.

A rural Sleepy Eye man was killed in a farm accident Thursday afternoon. The Brown County Sheriff's Office responded to the home of 77-year-old Donald George Richert in Prairieville Township northwest of Cobden at around 4pm Thursday after receiving a 911 call concerning a burn victim. Authorities say that Richert had been working with a skidloader near a burn pit and had apparently gotten off the vehicle to move something in the pit when the skidloader moved forward and pinned his left leg under the front end. Richert then became trapped in the burn pit and received extensive burns to the majority of his body. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office was assisted at the scene by two Clements Firefighters who had discovered the incident as well as Sleepy Eye Police and the Sleepy Eye Ambulance Service, along with the Minnesota State Patrol.

The world's foremost researchers in laser science, optoelectronics and quantum optics will present their findings at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO: 2011), May 1 - 6 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The more than 1,700 presentations at the conference will cover areas from energy and biophotonics to ultrafast lasers and quantum communication. Below is a sampling of the premiere research that will be presented next week at CLEO: 2011 (www.cleoconference.org).
* Green UV Sterilization: Switching on LEDs to Save Energy and the Environment
* Nuclear Photonics: Gamma Rays Search For Concealed Nuclear Threats

Green UV Sterilization: Switching on LEDs to Save Energy and the Environment
Ultraviolet light can safely sterilize food, water and medical equipment by disrupting the DNA and other reproductive molecules in harmful bacteria. Traditionally, mercury lamps have supplied this UV light, however mercury release from power generation and lamp disposal have generated discussion of harmful environmental impact. A potentially energy efficient and non-toxic alternative is the light-emitting diode, or LED, which can be made to emit at almost any desired wavelength. LEDs are also more rugged and operate at lower voltages than glass containing mercury bulbs. Thus, LEDs are more compatible with portable water disinfection units, which could also be solar-powered and used in situations where centralized facilities are not available, such as disaster relief. LEDs currently require a lot of electricity to produce UV light, but researchers from around the world are focused on improving this efficiency.
LEDs are semiconductor devices that operate in much the same way as the tiny elements on a computer chip. The difference is that some of the electrons flowing into an LED are captured and release their energy as light. Because these are solid materials rather than gas-filled bulbs, LEDs are more compact and durable than alternative light sources. The first commercial LEDs were small red indicator lights, but engineers have developed new materials that emit in a rainbow of colors. Nitride-based LEDs are the most promising for pushing beyond the visible into the ultraviolet. Some of these UV LEDs are already being used in the curing of ink and the testing for counterfeit money, but for sterilization, shorter wavelength light is required. These short wavelength, or "Deep UV" LEDs, present a number of technical challenges and are predominantly implemented in highly-specialized disinfection systems in industrial and medical applications, as well as other non-disinfection markets.
The Joint Symposium on Semiconductor Ultraviolet LEDs and Lasers at CLEO: 2011 will feature several talks addressing these challenges, while highlighting current efforts to improve the efficiency of nitride-based LEDs. Max Shatalov of Sensor Electronic Technology in Columbia, S.C., will report an improved design for making high-power UV LEDs that would be especially good for knocking out bacteria. From the birthplace of nitride (blue and white) LEDs, Motoaki Iwaya from Meijo University in Japan will describe a joint effort with Nagoya University to extend the range and improve the efficiency of UV LEDs.
The application of these UV LEDs is also being pursued in a related CLEO: 2011 session. Gordon Knight from Trojan Technologies in Canada will review advances in production of novel UV light sources, along with necessary validation procedures for verifying the operation of water disinfection systems in a one-hour tutorial.
Presentation JTuD1, "High Power III-Nitride UV Emitters," by Max Shatalov et al. is at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 3.
Presentation JTuD2, "IQE and EQE of the nitride-based UV/DUV LEDs," by Motoaki Iwaya et al. is at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 3.
Tutorial ATuD1, "Water and Air Treatment Using Ultraviolet Light Sources," by Gordon Knight is at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, May 3.
Nuclear Photonics: Gamma Rays Search For Concealed Nuclear Threats
Gamma rays are the most energetic type of light wave and can penetrate through lead and other thick containers. A powerful new source of gamma rays will allow officials to search for hidden reactor fuel/nuclear bomb material.
These gamma rays, called MEGa-rays (for mono-energetic gamma rays), are made by using a beam of fast-moving electrons to convert laser photons (light at a lesser energy) into the gamma ray part of the spectrum. The incoherent gamma rays can be tuned to a specific energy so that they predominantly interact with only one kind of material. A beam of MEGa-rays, for example, might be absorbed by the nuclear fuel uranium-235 while passing through other substances including the more common (but less dangerous) isotope uranium-238. That sort of precision opens the door to "nuclear photonics," the study of nuclei with light. "It is kind of like tunable laser absorption spectroscopy but with gamma-rays," says Chris Barty of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who will present on MEGa-rays at CLEO: 2011.
In the last couple of years, MEGa-ray prototypes have identified elements like lithium and lead hidden behind metal barriers. The next-generation of MEGa-ray machines, which should come on-line in a couple of years, will be a million times brighter, allowing them to see through thick materials to locate specific targets in less than a second.
Barty will present several MEGa-ray applications in use today and will describe the attributes of next-generation devices. Work is under way on a MEGa-ray technology that could be placed on a truck trailer and carried out into the field to check containers suspected of having bomb material in them. At nuclear reactors, MEGa-rays could be used to quickly identify how enriched a spent fuel rod is in uranium-235. They could also examine nuclear waste containers to assess their contents without ever opening them up. MEGa-ray technology might also be employed in medicine to track drugs that carry specific isotope markers.
Presentation ATuF2, "Mono-Energetic Gamma-rays (MEGa-rays) and the Dawn of Nuclear Photonics," by Chris Barty is at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 3.
3-D Terahertz Cloaking
Invisibility appears to be the next possible advance in the use of Terahertz radiation in medicine, security, and communications.
A research team from Northwestern and Oklahoma State universities claims to be first to cloak a three-dimensional object from view in a broad range of Terahertz frequency light, which lies between infrared and microwaves. In the team's paper at CLEO: 2011, Cheng Sun of Northwestern describes how a rigid sponge-like cloaking structure less than 10 millimeters long on a side was built up in 220 layers, each precisely defined to vary the index of refraction and bend light to render invisible anything located beneath a shallow concave bump on the cloak's bottom surface. The group showed that both the physical geometry and the spectrographic signature of a chemical strip about the width of 10 human hairs disappeared when cloaked.
Despite its Harry Potter-like allure, concealing tiny objects from view is not the team's ultimate goal, Sun said. Rather, this latest demonstration shows that the new "transformation optics" principles and 3-D lithography techniques they used to make the cloak can also enable optical components for guiding, collimating, and focusing terahertz light in a variety of ways�in new medical and scientific diagnostic tools, airport security scanners, and data communication devices.
Presentation, CWA5, "Three-dimensional Terahertz Cloak," by Cheng Sun et al. is at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 4.
EDITOR'S NOTE: High-resolution images and diagrams of the 3-D Terahertz cloak are available. Contact Angela Stark,
Full 3-D Invisibility Cloak in Visible Light
Watching things disappear "is an amazing experience," admits Joachim Fischer of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. But making items vanish is not the reason he creates invisibility cloaks. Rather, the magic-like tricks are attractive demonstrations of the fantastic capabilities that new optical theories and nanotechnology construction methods now enable.
This new area, called "transformation optics," as the item just above also showed, has turned modern optical design on its ear by showing how to manipulate light in ways long thought to be impossible. They promise to improve dramatically such light-based technologies as microscopes, lenses, chip manufacturing and data communications.
In his CLEO: 2011 talk , Fischer will describe the first-ever demonstration of a three-dimensional invisibility cloak that works for visible light�red light at a wavelength of 700 nm�independent of its polarization (orientation). Previous cloaks required longer wavelength light, such as microwaves or infrared, or required the light to have a single, specific polarization.
Fischer makes the tiny cloak�less than half the cross-section of a human-hair�by direct laser writing (i.e. lithography) into a polymer material to create an intricate structure that resembles a miniature woodpile. The precisely varying thickness of the "logs" enables the cloak to bend light in new ways. The key to this achievement was incorporating several aspects of a diffraction-unlimited microscopy technique into the team's 3-D direct writing process for building the cloak. The dramatically increased resolution of the improved process enabled the team to create log spacings narrow enough to work in red light.
"If, in the future, we can halve again the log spacing of this red cloak, we could make one that would cover the entire visible spectrum," Fischer added.
Practical applications of combining transformation optics with advanced 3-D lithography (a customized version of the fabrication steps used to make microcircuits) include flat, aberration-free lenses that can be easily miniaturized for use in integrated optical chips, and optical "black holes" for concentrating and absorbing light. If the latter can also be made to work for visible light, they will be useful in solar cells, since 90 percent of the Sun's energy reaches Earth as visible and near-infrared light.
Presentation QTuG5 "Three-dimensional invisibility carpet cloak at 700 nm wavelength," by Joachim Fischer et al. is at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 3. Fischer et al. will also present CML1, "Three-Dimensional Laser Lithography with Conceptually Diffraction-Unlimited Lateral and Axial Resolution," at 10:15 a.m. Monday, May 2.

There is already known an excellent kind of binding according to which each separate sheet is glued by its dorsal edge against any support which can even be constituted by a layer of the glue itself. This kind of binding, which is economical and industrially utilizable, shows however some defects especially when the pages to be bound are made of a glazed paper or are covered with a surface coating having poor adhesiveness to the used glue. In this case, only the dorsal edge of the sheet is glued on the support, this being not always adequate for a good binding, the glue entering by capillarity in the area between two adjacent pages being thus useless, since said glue does not adequately stick to the treated paper surface of said pages.
The object of the present invention is to provide a book-binding process in which each page is glued by its dorsal edge, which is characterized by the fact that a coating consistent with the used binding glue is deposited, before folding and cutting of the signatures, along one or more areas located on both sides of the folding lines of the paper sheet for forming said signatures, that after folding and assembling several signatures the dorsal part thereof is trimmed in such a manner that the coated area emerges on the dorsal edge of the pages, and that the thus obtained assembly of pages is glued by means of an appropriate binding glue.
The invention has also as another object the provision of a binding obtained by the described process, which is characterized by the fact that the faces of the pages comprise in an area adjacent to the dorsal edge thereof a layer of a coating which easily binds itself with the used binding glue.
The annexed drawings illustrate schematically and by way of example two embodiments of the present process.
FIG. 1 is a cross-section view of a binding.
FIG. 2 illustrates the sheet of paper before folding and cutting of the gatherings.
FIG. 3 is a cross-section view of another embodiment of binding.
FIG. 4 illustrates the piling up of several signatures.
FIG. 5 illustrates the signature after trimming.
In order to ensure a good binding, it is necessary that the used glue adheres well not only to the dorsal edge of the pages, but also to the faces thereof in areas near their dorsal edge. This is often difficult to realize when some kinds of paper are used which are treated or the surface of which is coated with a glazing layer.
According to the present process, each page to be bound is provided with a coating in areas next to its dorsal edge, this coating presenting good adherence not only with the used paper surface but also with the used binding glue. This coating is generally constituted by an adhesive.
For ease of manufacture, this adhesive coating is applied before, during or after the printing of the paper, when the used sheet is still entire, that is before its cutting and folding into signatures. For example, rectilinear areas 1 of adhesive are continuously applied, during printing, along the sheet, on both sides of the folding lines 2 (see FIG. 2). The sheet 3 is then folded and cut so as to form a signature 4 containing a certain number of pages 5. These signatures 4 are next piled up (FIG. 3), and then cut as shown in FIG. 4. By this trimming operation, the zone Z in which the adhesive coating was applied is made flush with the dorsal part of the separate pages 5.
Finally, the thus separated and assembled pages are bound by means of glue 6 to a support (not shown) in order to obtain the finished binding.
It can be clearly seen from FIG. 1 that each page 5, after its surface treatment 5a, is provided in its dorsal edge area with an adhesive coating 1 cooperating or effectively combining itself with glue 6 for firmly fastening each page to the support.
According to the kind of glue used, for example of the plastic type, it is not necessary to provide another support, a layer of said glue being used itself as support.
In another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive applied to the rectilinear areas 1 contains solid particles 8, sized with a small diameter and intended for ensuring a constant spacing between the assembled pages 5, as well as a better penetration of the glue 7.
It is obvious that the application of the adhesive coating onto the sheet of paper can be realized before, during or after the printing thereof, however always before cutting and folding thereof to form signatures.

Qu'est qu'une éclipse solaire totale ?
Une éclipse totale du soleil se produit lorsque la lune se place entre le soleil et la Terre, rendant ainsi la totalité du soleil invisible. L'éclipse totale étant un phénomène dans lequel le soleil n'est pas visible, ce que nous pouvons en réalité observer ne sont autres que les gaz chauds de la couronne solaire, ce que nous appelons l'« anneau de feu » et la « proéminence solaire ». Le faisceau d'observation d'une éclipse solaire totale est très étroit, c'est pourquoi il est considéré comme rare d'avoir la chance d'en être témoin une fois dans sa vie.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Zach McAllister pitched beautifully in rehab appearance for Columbus as the Clippers began the second half of International League play with a close 3-2 win over the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.
Columbus got on the board first with when Ezequiel Carrera drove home Roberto Perez with an RBI sacrifice fly in the top of the third. Ryan Rohlinger later added an RBI single in the top of the fifth.
Cleveland right-hander Zach McAllister made a rehab start for the Clippers as he continues to recover from a right middle finger injury. It was an efficient six inning outing for the Chillicothe, Illinois native, who struck out two and walked two while giving up two hits in the process.
From there, the Clippers added to their lead with a Tim Fedroff RBI single in the eighth. Danny Salazar took over on the mound as a reliever. Salazar (S, 1) pitched the final three innings, striking out four while giving up two runs on three hits, which came via a Pete Orr solo homer and a Cesar Hernandez RBI single in the bottom of the eighth.
McAllister (W, 1-0) got the win for Columbus. Ethan Martin (L, 10-5) took the loss for Lehigh Valley.
The Pigs and Clippers will be back in action on Friday night. Columbus will go with righty Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-5, 4.55) on the mound. The starter for Lehigh Valley has yet to be determined. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.

I'm from the country. And when I say country, most city people picture tumbleweeds blowing past an abandoned tin shed. I even have one city friend who makes a banjo noise whenever I enter the room. Dear world, Wagga has civilisation. Aside from that, since moving to the coast, spending a lot of time in Sydney, overseas travels, and experiencing a bit more 'culture', I have realised.... the world is screwed.
I'm not talking about the environment, the economy or the world exploding in 2012... people, humans... are screwed. No, not all of them. Just... a large majority it seems. And this becomes more apparent to me every day. And it's pretty entertaining!
Maybe it's not because i've launched into independence and expanded my horizons, but because I catch public transport.
I could write a book about the people who catch the free bus, like the old couple that wear matching Hawaiian shirts and Hawaiian caps.
Then there are the people that have massive conversations... with themselves. Now I'll admit I probably mutter the odd "oh damn, I forgot to get milk" under my breath in public, but I am constantly surprised by the people who talk to themselves. And no they are not wearing headpieces and talking hands free.. I checked. They are just loopy. It's not just an odd few. I witness this daily. They don't even seem to acknowledge they are doing it, even when I am looking at them like they are from another planet.
I like catching trains to sit in the window seat and watch emotional goodbyes and reunions. I also like sitting next to interesting people that tell you their life story but it is actually super INTERESTING! Especially old people. The other day I spoke to a 91-year-old man who was telling me how much he loved his late wife. It was beautiful.
However it's always a gamble, and when you look down the aisle to find your number and discover the dude in the purple and red spandex pants (a little bit like the beauties below) is your company for the next 7 hours, welcome to the countrylink experience.
Here i've compiled a list of what I hate about trains:
- People who don't wear deodorant
- People who fail to realise their kid has shat themselves
- People who's body fat overlaps beyond their individual seat
- People who quietly hum/sing
- People who recline their chair without warning whilst you spill boiling coffee on the tray attached behind
- People who don't notice their ipod is so loud, that the next carriage can hear "Big Booty Bitches"
- The fact that there is always a jail escapee in every carriage, bragging about their time in the 'clink'.
Other fun experiences i have had are listening to a chick swear at the top of her lungs on the phone to her boyfriend for 6 hrs and 45 minutes of the 7 hr night train...

You are confused on how words are defined. Definitions are not selectively applied for use with certain segments of people. And words are not defined by personal whim.<quoted text>
Here we have a non atheist trying to define what an atheist is to an atheist, what a dipstick.
If the term "atheist" has a meaning, we are able to discern it from the word, not from the feelings of those who want it to apply to them.

Upon further review, a big scary-sounding asteroid is no longer even a remote threat to smash into Earth in about 20 years, Nasa says.
Astronomers got a much better look at the asteroid when it whizzed by Earth on Wednesday from a relative safe 9 million miles away. They recalculated the space rock's trajectory and determined it wasn't on a path to hit Earth on April 13, 2036 as once feared possible.
At more than 323 metres wide, the rock called Apophis could do significant damage to a local area if it hit and perhaps even cause a tsunami. But it was not large enough to trigger worldwide extinctions.
One prominent theory that explains the extinctions of dinosaurs and other species 65 million years ago says a 9.6-kilometre-wide meteorite hit Earth and spewed vast amounts of dust into the air, cooling and darkening the planet.
About nine years ago, when astronomers first saw Apophis, they thought there was a 2.7 per cent chance that it would smack into our planet. Later, they lowered the chances to an even more unlikely 1 in 250,000.
Now it's never mind.
"Certainly 2036 is ruled out," said Donald Yeomans, manager of Nasa's Near Earth Object Program. "It's why we track them so we can be assured that they won't get dangerously close."
Yeomans said now the asteroid, named after an evil Egyptian mythical serpent, won't get closer than 31,200km. That's still the closest approach asteroid watchers have seen for a rock this large. And when astronomers got a closer look they noticed it was about 54 metres larger than they thought, but not a threat.
Asteroids circle the sun as leftovers of failed attempts to form planets billions of years ago. When asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere, they become meteors and when they hit the ground they are meteorites.
This is the second time in as many months the asteroid watchers have had good news for Earth. Last month, astronomers got a closer look at a smaller asteroid that they had previously calculated had a 1 in 500 chance of hitting Earth, this time in 2040. And they decided the 140-m asteroid was no longer a threat.
If you still want to see a space rock come cosmically close to Earth, there's always next month.
On February 15, a small asteroid, only 40m wide, will come close to Earth, about 27,350km above the equator. That's so close it will come between our planet and some of the more distant satellites that circle the globe. But it will miss Earth.
"This will be the closest passage of an object this size," Yeomans said.
That asteroid, called 2012 DA14, should be visible with smaller telescopes and binoculars, but mostly in Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia, he said.

Three Ways to Train Your Mind for More Clients
By Sharon Desjarlais, CC and Michele McGrew
Susan is a healer and teacher who's been practicing for 15 years. She loves what she does. And she's good at it. Yet she has a deep belief that people won't pay for her services. So even though she keeps her fees low, she has a hard time getting clients to say yes.And the ones who do come, often complain about her rates.
Natalie, a colleague of Susan's, thinks there are plenty of people willing to invest in their health. Even though her fees are substantially higher than Susan's, she easily attracts new clients. And they typically stay with her for months, even years at a time.
Here's what's interesting ... these two women graduated from the same training institute. Susan was Natalie's instructor. Yet Natalie's business is booming, while Susan still feels stuck. Why are these two women with the same training manifesting such different results?
The answer comes down to attitude. Natalie's open mind is naturally attractive to clients. Yet, in Susan's defense, we're always manifesting something, whether we like it or not. That's because our experiences are being controlled by our subconscious minds.
Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, says, "We operate 95 to 99 percent of our lives from subconscious programs. Your subconscious beliefs are working either for you or against you, but you are not controlling your life, because your subconscious mind supersedes all conscious control." The good new is, you can rewire your subconscious mind. Here are three techniques you can practice over the course of a day to cultivate a client-attractive mindset.
Give Your First Fruits to Spirit
While this technique is hinted at in the Old Testament, it's a practice that's more about energy than religion. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." The Bible, like all spiritual texts, is written in layers. So there's a deeper spiritual meaning hidden in this verse. When you honor your connection to God, goddess, Holy Spirit, all that is — or whatever name represents the divine for you — you supercharge your manifestation efforts. Because the nature of the divine is to expand and create more life.
The key to making this technique work? Making it a habit. We recommend doing it first thing every morning, before your mind gets bogged down with the demands of your day. By giving your first fruits — your first thoughts of the day — you're making your connection to spirit a priority.
How you do this is up to you. You can meditate, walk in nature, do some journaling or read an inspiring book. The only thing you want to avoid in the process? Technology. (If you check email or Facebook while you're still in bed, we're talking to you.) So here's your challenge: For the next 21 days, take 17 minutes each morning to consciously connect to your personal expression of spirit. You'll be surprised at how clear, centered and happy you feel. And then your experiences will begin reflecting that happiness back to you.
A.I.M. for More of What You Want
Now that you've started your day off right, one of the best ways to cultivate a positive mindset is a technique we call "A.I.M." — Anchor, Integrate and Manifest. It's based on the natural law of resonance, which tells us that things of a like vibration will naturally gravitate toward each other.
Whenever you have an experience you want more of, you've already activated the energetic template for that experience. When you anchor and integrate that template in your body, you set up the internal vibration to attract more of those same experiences. Let's take our friend Leslie for example. Whenever she finishes a powerful session, she immediately takes a few minutes to sit and gaze out the window of her Montana home. Yet as she looks at the mountains, she doesn't think — she feels back to the session she just had. And to the sensation she gets in her body when she has the privilege of seeing someone transform in her presence.
We've all experienced those magical moments with our clients – when time and space seem to slip away and everything's flowing in divine right order. Yet Leslie is doing something brilliant most healers forget: She's setting up the energetic template to manifest more amazing sessions just like that one.
You can do the same thing. But first, you've got to start with your schedule. When you're booking clients, give yourself an extra 15 minutes in between.
Then follow these three simple steps:
That's what makes this process more effective than using affirmations. With affirmations — where you're acting as if — you're trying to generate an emotion you may not subconsciously believe. But with the A.I.M. Technique, you're using the energy and sensation that's already there to plant the seeds for more. And it can't help but multiply.
Make Time for Sensual Gratitude
Now that you've practiced the first two techniques, wrap up your day with gratitude. Now we know, gratitude's not a new spiritual tool. If you're like us, you've been keeping a gratitude journal since Oprah told you to. But we're talking about using gratitude in a very different way.
Most of us live in a perpetual cycle of stress and worry. Stress over what we've experienced already — and worry about what's going to happen next. But when we're caught in a no-win cycle like this, our consciousness is split between the past and the future. And very little of us exists in the present. Yet in our exploration of gratitude, we discovered a hidden alchemical side-effect: Gratitude has the ability to transport you through time — calling the parts of you that are stuck in the past or the future into the present moment. And the present moment is where all potential resides.
When you use the energy of gratitude to come into present time, you open yourself up to receive the creative support that surrounds you at all times. The secret to doing this effectively is a simple spiritual technology we call Sensual Gratitude. Here's how you do it: Take a few moments and allow each of your physical senses to light up: sight, smell, sound, touch and taste. Then notice what's in your immediate environment that you're thankful for right now. And dwell on it with each of your senses.
For example, "I'm grateful for this cup of tea. For its warmth in my hands. The sweetness of the honey. The smell of camomile. The way the steam rises from the cup. The silence of the evening." See how easy that is? It's deceptively simple, yet it has a powerful effect on the mind. In a few seconds, it acts like a reset button that relieves you of stress and worry. And it gives you access to the infinitely creative spirit that's flowing through you right now. It also shifts your focus to the positive experiences in your life — just before your conscious mind checks out for the night. Which means your subconscious mind can integrate those feelings of calm, joy and expansion while you sleep.
Susan's been practicing these three techniques every day for the last few months. And she just sent us an email to tell us she signed a new client for a 6-month program. Now she's starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, there are people out there who really will invest in their health. And they're starting to find her.
