Where's that favorite pen of yours? You know, the one that has your favorite color of ink, and you seem to write fancier when you use it...go grab it...then grab a journal... and after your daily meditation...WRITE! don't stop to check spelling or grammar. Just write what comes to mind....you'll notice after a few minutes your writing style will change and the sentences may not make sense. This is when your writing from your subconscious. Time and date stamp all your entries and refer back to them for guidance!

Let me know how this works for you.

3J'S NUTRITION NETWORK

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:17:00 +0000

3J'S NUTRITION NETWORK

What is 3J's Nutrition Network:
3J's Nutrition Network is a company dedicated to the most effective avenues of knowledge that can be applied in the pursuit of nutritional counseling. With the gain of this knowledge through cutting edge research and ever-the-wise experience, the network reaches out to eager clients who want to get the most out of their efforts in reaching their certain goals.

Why do I need nutritional consultation:
Imagine a car. When I say a car I mean something thats fast, sporty, sleek, and looks like its full of confidence; ready to take on anything! Lets make this car a metaphor for your determination to reach your goals! Wonderful! Your a fast, powerful, road gripping sports car! Thats the attitude it takes to reach your goals, which is the finish line at the end of the track.

Now, imagine that car without gas in the tank. You get in, slam on the gas pedal repeatedly, but it doesn't go anywhere! Why, you ask? Its because the gas is a metaphor for your diet, and a poor diet is like having no gas in the tank. So all your efforts are put to waste! With a correct diet, we can add some high octane fuel to that car and get you moving towards that finish line!!!

Simply put 80% of your success with your set goals will come from your diet!!!!. The rest is all about training, which is something that my clients also receive help with.

Its really simple physics. A body cannot gain mass without the addition of mass past what mass the body is burning off to sustain itself.

A body cannot lose mass without giving it less mass then the mass it burns to sustain itself.

Now dieting and reaching your goals isn't as easy as the said true facts stated in the above two paragraphs, but those are the bottom line truths in dieting. There is a very complex balancing of different macro and micro nutrients that most people have no clue how to correlate to their diet. 3J makes all that simple for you.

What do we do for you:
When a member becomes a client for diet advice they are given a questionnaire that allows for a deep look into the lifestyle that the client leads. We look at things like the activity level at work, the workout routine, the cardio routine, the time the person wakes up, sleeps, and works out. We ask about your favorite foods, or foods that you might be allergic to.

All members are required to take a tailors tape measure and measure out certain parts of the body at the start of nutritional advice in order to better track progress of the diet and training routine.

Progressive Nutritional Coaching:
Many nutritional companies will give you a set meal plan and send you out on your merry way. They dont care to do something called MICROCALIBRATION. It is a true statistical law that no one human body works EXACTLY the same way and reacts EXACTLY the same way as another. There are a great deal of genetic and environmental factors that play a role in either hindering or helping you reach your goals. Someone may have been eating 2 meals a day for the last year. He cant just be put on a 6 meal a day program and sent on his way. We would have to follow him, watch his progress, and make tweaks in his diet to safely and optimally move him into a 6 meal a day plan. There are other factors that play, too many to list here, that could involve tweaking and adjusting your diet. The progressive nutritional coaching is there to compensate for these possible variations from client to client. Some may have extremely slow metabolisms that need speeding up and cannot be done without following them for a number of weeks. Some may have a super fast metabolism and need more calories then what the "standard" approach for someone their weight and bf is. This progressive coaching deals with those possible problems

The minimum amount of nutritional progressive coaching that any of my clients receive is 5 weeks so that we know the diet is working out well for them. The variation in weeks of coaching, based upon packages, will be explained when we get to the packages themselves.

The Packages:

There are a few different packages that clients can choose from. Packages are based on the level of optimization for the client, number of weeks nutritional coaching, and expenditure.

The Basic Plan:
This is the baseline for any package with the company. If your new to dieting and/or new to training, or within some sort of financial burden this is the package for you.
We take a comprehensive look at your situation and build a diet customized to your needs. There are two meals plans involved in this basic package. This plan is good for both bulking or cutting. This includes 5 weeks of nutritional coaching.

Price:$125.00

Keto/CKD:
Keto diets drop carb levels to virtually nothing and raise fat levels, forcing your body to use fat as an energy source. The popular "Atkins" diet is a keto diet. Keto is famed for its cutting properties, but can also be used for bulking for members who may be extremely carb sensitive or have diabetes. CKD (Cycling Keto Diet) is a variation of keto that allows for more carbs (but not much more) placed at specific times in the day. Both include 8 weeks of nutritional coaching and 3 meal plans.

Price: $200.00

Carb Cycling:
I believe this to be one of the best approaches to dieting for the average Joe. Whether your cutting or bulking (the former being more popular), carb cycling will get you where you wanna go more optimally then any other choice in my opinion (with the exception of certain genetic problems like diabetes). Carb cycling manipulates the fats and carbs in your diets on a near daily basis, raising and lowering them to keep your body working towards your goals. This includes 3 meal plans and 8 weeks nutritional coaching.

Price: $250.00

Modified Carb Cycling:

This is one of my original philosophies that I came up with in dieting years ago. Its also the personal diet i use regularly. Modified carb cycling is my variation on the carb cycle diet that emphasizes targeting problem areas of growth (e.g. you have an underdeveloped chest, or underdeveloped arms) whether your bulking or cutting. Fair warning to all my clients, the modified carb cycle diet consists of 5 or more meal plans and alot of organized prep and planning on your part! It comes with 12 weeks nutritional coaching.

Price: $350.00

3J's Anabolic Diet:

This diet is for those of you planning on doing contest prep. It involves running multiple philosophies of diets for 12-20 weeks and is the ultimate form of dieting!!!

For more information and pricing, please e-mail me!

Payment Plans:
We all know how tough the economy is these days. With regards to that, there are payment plans available for all packages that have been listed. Please e-mail me for further information.

How to Sign Up!!!!
Signing up is as simple as e-mailing me with the package you'd like to purchase.

3JDIET@GMAIL.COM

An invoice is sent out to your e-mail so that the purchase can be securely made through paypal. Why paypal? We use paypal to protect our clients. With paypal your credit card information is never shared with anyone but paypal.

Upon completion of payment the questionnaire is sent out.

8 Tips For Beginners Wanting To Lose Weight

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:42:00 +0000

8 Top Tips For Beginners Wanting To Lose Weight

3J's Nutrition Network
contact us: 3jdiet@gmail.com

EVERYONE who wants to get leaner should read this article. Sometimes we veterans forget what we once knew or we don't practice what we now know. If you're a beginner, this will be an introduction. If you're experienced, let this be a reminder.

1. JUST GET STARTED - TAKE DECISIVE ACTION!

There are so many opinions about how to lose body fat that many people end up completely confused and they don't do ANYTHING!
They've read about 27 ways to diet, 34 ways to do cardio, 101 ways to lift weights and 79 supplements to take. But they still don't have a clue how to start.
You stuff your brain with so much information it feels like it's going to explode, but then you never do anything about it. You're like a deer stuck in headlights. Sound familiar?
I call this the "paralysis by analysis" syndrome.

The most important thing you can do is take action. Just begin the journey and figure it out as you go. Better still; get a coach or trainer right from the start.
Actually, losing fat is not that complicated. You don't need a PhD in exercise physiology to figure out that any exercise is better than no exercise. You don't have to be a genius in nutritional biochemistry to figure out that an apple is better than a pop tart. Getting lean is simple: Exercise. Eat healthier foods. Eat smaller portions. Isn't this stuff just common sense? Didn't your mother tell you this?

So what's stopping you? What makes you freeze up?

If you're like most people, FEAR is stopping you. You're so afraid of doing something wrong, you choose to do nothing rather than make a mistake or look foolish.
What you must understand is that people who accomplish much and people who accomplish little BOTH have fears. The difference between the two is that the latter feels the fear and lets it immobilize them. The former feels the fear and does it anyway.

Begin the process. You can always fine-tune your program as you go. Naturally, it's better to aim and then fire, but its better to fire and then adjust your aim later than not to fire at all. You can't win a battle by hiding in the trenches.

2. WALKING IS A GREAT WAY TO START A CARDIO PROGRAM

Ok, so you've decided to forge ahead in spite of your fear and start working out. Congratulations. Now what? How do you choose between Stairmaster, Tae Bo, Lifecycle, Yoga, Kickboxing, Elliptical machine, jogging, swimming, etc.?
Any exercise is better than no exercise so stop over-analyzing: just pick something and start. Just do it.

If you can't make up your mind, then here's the simplest, easiest, most guaranteed way for any beginner to successfully start a fat loss program:

Walk!

Here's why:

It requires no equipment

It requires no knowledge of exercise technique

It can be done by almost everyone, regardless of experience

It can be done almost anywhere

It's safe

For all these reasons, walking is the perfect way to begin. However, the better your condition becomes, the more you'll need to advance to higher levels of exercise intensity to reach higher levels of fitness.

I'm not saying you should abandon walking, but if you decide to keep walking, a casual stroll will no longer do. For an experienced exerciser, I would consider walking a method of locomotion more than a serious workout.

There's a big difference between walking for health vs walking for fat loss. Even a 10 or 15-minute casual walk has health benefits. But if you want to turn walking into an effective, fat-melting workout, you'll need to push yourself for 30 minutes or more several days per week. Walking briskly uphill (or on an inclined treadmill) is an excellent fat-burning workout for anyone.

3. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN MINUTIA - FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS

Read any book about success and it will tell you "pay attention to detail." Sounds like good advice - unless you haven't mastered the fundamentals yet. In that case, it's the worst advice you could follow.

Every day people ask me questions like these:
"Should I use a fast acting protein powder like whey or would casein be better? What if I mix both and also add a little bit of Soy? If I use all of them, what ratio of the three would be ideal and when should I take them?"
"I want to do the ephedrine-caffeine stack and it says to take 20 mg of ephedrine with 200 milligrams of caffeine. The ephedrine comes in 25 milligram tablets, so should I chip a little bit off the tablet to get the right ratio?"

Do you see the problem here?

These are legitimate questions, but they're completely moot if you're eating doughnuts and sitting on the couch all day long. Fix your diet and get your butt moving first, then worry about the little things.

Emerson said, "The height of the pinnacle is determined by the breadth of the base." The heights you reach will depend entirely on how broad a foundation you build. Great coaches such as Vince Lombardi and John Wooden credited most of their success to drilling their players on fundamentals.

Forget about ALL the minutia until you have the fundamentals down cold!

Forget about supplement dosages

Forget about macronutrient cycling

Forget about tempo manipulation

Forget about glycemic indexes

Forget about the latest Bulgarian or Russian periodization program

Master the fundamentals first!

The fundamentals of fat loss include: (1) Do your cardio, (2) Lift weights, (3) Burn more calories than you consume (4) Eat 5-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals, (5) Keep your fat intake low, but include small amounts of good fats, (6) Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods, (7) eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables, (8) eat lean proteins with each meal, (9) Think positive: visualize yourself as you would like to be.

If you're not doing all these things, and you're looking for the perfect supplement stack or the optimum periodization plan, I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree.
I don't want you to think that details don't matter - they do. The "Law of Accumulation" states that every success is a matter of hundreds or even thousands of tiny efforts that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. Everything counts. Everything either helps or hurts. Nothing is neutral.

The problem is when you get bogged down in minutia before you've even learned the basics. Minor details produce minor results. Major fundamentals produce major results.

Don't major in minor things. Lay your foundation first, then move on to the finer points. And remember, as Jim Rohn says, always be suspicious of someone who says they've found a new fundamental.

4. KNOW YOUR CALORIES

The most important dietary factor in fat loss is not how many grams of carbohydrate, protein or fat you eat, the most important factor for fat loss is calories. Eat more than you burn each day and you will store fat. Eat less than you burn each day and you will lose fat.It's just that simple.

Where the calories come from is important too, but unless you understand the calorie concept, nothing else matters.

I'm appalled at how many people claim to sincerely want to lose body fat who admit they haven't a clue how many calories they eat.
Get serious! If you don't have the faintest idea how much you're eating, how can you expect to make any progress?

Did it ever occur to you that your ONLY problem might be overeating!
Do you realize that too much of anything gets stored as fat?

That's right - even if you're eating nothing but "natural and healthy" foods, if you eat too many of them, you're still going to get fat.

Portion control, my friend, portion control!
On the other hand, maybe you're under-eating and slowing down your metabolism. There's a fine line.

5. NEVER, EVER QUIT! MAKE FITNESS A LIFESTYLE!

Do you know what is the biggest mistake made by beginners?
They quit!

Remember in the January issue, where I mentioned how attendance in our gym shoots up for about 6-8 weeks around New Year's? Well, it's back to normal now because all the quitters dropped out already.
What's especially sad is that most people quit right when they're on the verge of making substantial progress.

Remember: You're never a failure as long as you're working on the progressive realization of a worthy goal. But the second you quit, then it's official - you're a failure.
Quitting should not even be an option because...

FITNESS IS A LIFESTYLE!

Don't let these four words slip by you just because it's an oft-repeated cliché. This is an important mindset! You have to stop thinking of getting in shape for a New Year's resolution, vacation or wedding (or a contest, you bodybuilders). You must start thinking about getting healthy and in shape FOR LIFE.

When you're just starting out, firmly resolve that quitting is not even an option. Don't approach this endeavor with an "I'll try" attitude. If you accept quitting as a possibility, you might as well not even start; just grab that remote control, a bag of chips and get back on the couch where you were before.
Also, understand that results may come slowly in the beginning if you're not the genetically-gifted type. This process requires great patience and persistence for most people.

Most beginners never allow themselves the time it takes to get any momentum going. They expect too much too soon, get discouraged and quit.
It takes a big push to get started. It's like getting a rocket off the ground - it uses most of its fuel just launching off the pad, but once it's in the air and the inertia has been overcome, it can keep going with very little energy expenditure. Don't quit just because it's difficult to "launch!"

6. GET A PERSONAL TRAINER, COACH, OR MENTOR

Life is too just too short to learn everything there is to know on your own. Don't waste time climbing the ladder only to find it's leaning against the wrong wall! Learn from the experts. Get a trainer, personal coach, or mentor to help you start right - right from the start.

7. JOIN A GYM IF YOU CAN, BUT A SET OF DUMBBELLS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GET YOU STARTED

I admit I'm showing my bias by saying everyone should join a gym (I'm in the health club business), but I sincerely believe nothing beats working out in a high quality health club. In a well-equipped gym, the possibilities are endless, the atmosphere is motivational and people are there to help you.

More often than not, however, beginners start at home. That being the case, I admit that you don't need a gym to get started. You also don't need any of that garbage advertised on late night TV. The only piece of equipment you need has existed for over 100 years - that's right, the humble DUMBBELL!

Remember - don't overcomplicate this - think basics, basics, basics (and dumbbells are as basic as it gets.)

Dumbbells are the single most versatile piece of equipment in existence. You can perform hundreds, even thousands of exercises with dumbbells.

Ladies, a set of 3 to 20 pounds will be more than sufficient. Guys, a set from 10 to 40 pounds should do the trick (for now). I've also heard wonderful things about Powerblock dumbbells for space-saving, although I don't have first hand experience to cite.
If you also get yourself a bench and clear out a little corner in your favorite room, then you're ready to roll!

Here it is - The beginner's all-dumbbell routine:

1. Dumbbell bench press (chest)

2. Dumbbell side lateral raise (shoulders)

3. One arm dumbbell row (upper back)

4. Dumbbell extension behind head (triceps)

5. Dumbbell Bicep curl (biceps)

6. Dumbbell Lunges (thighs)

7. Dumbbell One leg calf raise (calves)

8. Dumbbell leg curl (hamstrings)

9. Crunches (abs)

There you have it. Simple and effective. At home or in a gym.

If you're just starting, do this routine for 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise, except calves and abs which you can go up to 20 reps. Rest 1 minute between sets. You'll train your whole body in each workout, 2 -3 three days per week, non-consecutive days.

After 3 - 6 months, you'll probably need to add exercises and move up to a split routine. (So I guess I have to do another article, called 8 tips for intermediates: How to keep going).

8. WEIGHT TRAINING IS NOT OPTIONAL - IT'S MANDATORY!

It's is a common misconception that you should start with aerobic workouts and lose the fat first before adding weight training.
Unfortunately, the best you can hope for from diet and aerobics alone is to become a "skinny fat person." You may lose weight, but you'll have a poor muscle to fat ratio and a "soft" appearance.

Obviously, weight training is the key to developing strength and muscle. What few people realize is that weight training also increases fat loss, although it occurs indirectly.

Weight training is anaerobic and burns carbohydrates (sugar).Cardio is aerobic and therefore burns fat. So it seems logical to focus on aerobic training for fat loss.
However, something interesting happens "beneath the surface" when you lift weights. Weight training increases your lean body mass - aerobic training does not.
Low calorie dieting and aerobic training without weight lifting can make you lose lean body mass. If you lose lean body mass, your metabolism slows down, and this makes it harder to lose fat.

If you increase your lean body mass, you increase your metabolic rate and this makes it easier to lose fat. With a faster metabolism, you'll burn more fat all day long - even while you're sleeping!

If you have limited time, and your main priority is fat loss, then do a very brief weight training program and spend the majority of your time concentrating on cardio. But never neglect the weights completely - always do both, and if possible, devote equal attention to each.

Remember guys, 80% of your goals come from your diet. Check out 3J's Nutrition Network!

My October Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:09:00 +0000

I'm engaged! And I am currently planning an October wedding. And here is a little sneak peek into my wedding theme.

A summer wedding calls for bright flowers and neon bridesmaids dresses. A winter wedding; black magic roses and red decor.

But for an October wedding, I was inspired by OPI's "over the taupe" nail polish. It screamed FALL Wedding. I was inspired to have a taupe and ivory wedding.

Weddings, bridesmaids, and peonies,

Work Hard to Play Hard

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 02:33:00 +0000

Living a good life is all about balance. If you work hard, make sure to reward yourself by playing hard too! So today after a crazy leg day at the gym, where I squated a hefty 115 lbs. I showered and headed out to the nail salon for a mini spa vacation where I can soothe my muscles and escape reality for an hour.

And you don't have to break the bank to treat yourself. Trust me. Just ask for a polish change on hands n' feet (this is usually $10 for both!) but ask if you can sit in a spa chair. And chances are they'll let you soak if A. You've been going to the same place for years or B. if you go at slow hours like lunch time on weekdays or later on weekends.

Don't forget to tip them ;)
What's an appropriate tip for $10 mani pedi? $3 should be good.

How to escape: when you sit in that spa chair...grab ur headphones and listen to some soothing music (try Diva Premal on Pandora) and close your eyes. Be aware of each breath you take. Drift away into positive light n' love.

2012 Grammy Hits!

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:04:00 +0000

The 2012 Grammy Awards

was not my favorite...

...a lot of old singers, boring performances (except Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson), and the fact that there was no red carpet pre-show was a NO-NO for me...

BUT...

...there were some eye-catching beauties there that night.

Here are my top 3 favs

1.Rihanna in her black silk Giorgio Armani gown with a plunging neckline and high-cut slit.

However, more than her attire, it was her raw and untamed hair that I L-O-V-E - loved!

Her golden-caramel lids and bold smoky look are a great compliment to her wild roots and sunkissed hair.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

2. My second favorite look was Adele's Old-Hollywood look.

Her nails and matte-red lips and voluminous, big hair was sooooo in sync with her humble aura.

Adele, You are a TRUE Hollywood beauty and you deserved each and every grammy!

Someone Like You - Go Girl!!!

3. Fergie!!! Oh, Fergie! You looked fab in this orange lace dress!

And your traditional "POOF" is so awesome!

These were my 2012 Grammy Favs

What were yours?

Daring, Bold, and Beautiful

This is how you do "BLACK FRIDAY!"

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:30:00 +0000

Check out these amazing deals I got for Black Friday

...and tips on how to get the most out of season savings at the mall!

Black Friday Deal #1 JC Penney Black Coat Regular $100 ... My price $25.00

Black Friday deal #2. Super soft flannel button down Reg. $34 Sale $12!

Black Friday deal #3. Sheer Studded Blouse Reg $78 Sale $53!

Total Savings: $122.00~!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smartest Way to Shop this Holiday Season

-Set a budget and stick to it!!! - the whole point of a Sale is to spend less than regular. So if on a regular shopping trip you would spend $120, don't spend $300... you'll be overspending and buying things you probably dont NEED!

Try to buy the most things with your budget!

- Make a list!!! - Write down what you NEED, WHO you need to buy a gift for (holiday sales are a great time to buy and store gifts for bdays and xmas, lastly, write down what you WANT...prioritize accordingly!

-Have fun!!! don't ever do anything that will stress you out!

Get a Moldavite High! A powerful stone more rare than DIAMONDS! 20mill years old...

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:23:00 +0000

This is my new Moldavite Pendant!!!

This is one, unique, stone...

20 Million years ago, a powerful meteor shower caused the Moldau Valley of the current Czech Republic to be covered in these green tektites (small, green, glass-like deposits).

This stone costs $20/gram!!!! I paid over $10 for this little piece (its LITTLE).

But, the healing & metaphysical properties of this stone is amazing! I get a high from wearing it. I am very float-y (haha! :) and super-connected to my spiritual self.

Other benefits of Moldavite:

*Harmony to Marital Relationships

*Releasing those which no longer serve you

Meditating with Moldavite

Moldavite is a great stone to use while meditating to connect with ascended masters, spirit guides, or higher powers. However, due to its strong ungrounding properties, use a tourmaline or hematite stone to keep you grounded for safety!

let me know how moldavite works for you! ...

wanna know where to buy it?

Yelp Search: Metaphysical Store in your area and call the stores to see who has it. Make sure you touch the stone and "feel it out" before paying for it. If it doesn't resonate well with you, DONT BUY IT!

Alien connections and Love for all,

<3 NeenaJay

My Life These Days

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 21:23:00 +0000

Life is Good...no....LIFE IS GREAT!

I'm discovering new ways of meditating and I love it.

This picture says ALOT about my life ... I've got my Nike gym tank on, I'm drumming to the beat of my heart, I've got feathers in my hair and my semi precious stone bracelet on my hand.

GYM*.*MUSIC*.*UNIVERSAL ENERGY

I've become very interested in stones and their benefits. I love meditating with different stones every day and feeling their energies. (I'll write a blog soon about all my stones)

I've begun a manifestation activity where I will manifest my dance studio in 7 days.
I read a specific question i.e. What are your beliefs and ethics in business? and then I meditate upon the question. I then spend 10 minutes writing down my answers and at the end of the week, I will recap and write a list of EXACTLY how I want my dance studio to be. And although on the 7th day I may not open my doors, I WILL have an exact idea of what I want and how I want it and then I'll use the "Law of Attraction" to my benefit correctly.

After watching the movie "The Secret," (if you haven't watched it, Netflix has it for free) I chose to do one of the things that many of the speakers in the movie had done....

copy and print this if you want to attract $1,000,000 too!

1: I got a $1 bill and changed it to a ONE MILLION DOLLAR BILL...hahaha :)
2: I taped it to my light switch cover (so I can see it several times a day)
3: I am staying open allowing the money angels and fairies to bring me this money however the Universe pleases to.

STAY TUNED...I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

So part of my journey is meditation. I meditate every morning with my white candle and stones. I use a grounding stone and either my Amethyst or my Lapis Lazuli for my 3rd eye chakra. I am in search of my spurt guide(s). I met one of them who's name is Teresa. She gave me a white piece of cloth. White symbolizes protection. Her only message to me was that 'everything will be ok.'

I will try to connect with Teresa everyday and stay open to any messages she wants to give me throughout the day/night.

YouTube has some great guided mediation techniques to connect with your spirit guide. Check it out.

My New Best Friend! #Journaling

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:23:00 +0000

I can tell her all my thoughts, all my visions, all my out-of-body experiences and SHE WON'T THINK I'M CRAZY....

You can have a best friend like mine too....

I've found a new love in journaling. That's not even a "real" word...but it is...its the act of writing in your journal...journaling.

I got this journal from target for $10 and the buddha pen from Que Linda Boutique (let me know if you want one too...I think they're gonna start online sales soon!)

Write everything in your journal! Carry it with you always....

...have it in front of you while you meditate and scribble down an visions you have, or things you hear, or any out-of-the-ordinary experiences. This way you can go back and track your intuitive growth.

Keep the journal bedside and write down the first thing that pops up in your mind in the morning.

Cool exercise: before you go to sleep, ask a question...or ask for clarity regarding a problem, then write down the first thing in your head when you wake up ;)

Write down your dreams....

Write anything...just write...and doodle...and scribble...

...let your subconscious mind take over and it will all make sense one day!

pages written with love...from the light heart... <3 NeenaJay

My Intuitive Journey

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:51:00 +0000

in·tu·i·tion (nt-shn, -ty-)

a. The act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes; immediate cognition. See Synonyms at reason.

b. Knowledge gained by the use of this faculty; a perceptive insight.

2. A sense of something not evident or deducible; an impression.

The past few months of my life have been very interesting. I have been living in a highly intuitive state, and synchronicity has knocked on my door more than once!

I always knew there was a unknown realm ... that's an oxy moron...but ever since I was little, I had unexplained experiences. And with my fascination of stones, energy, and tarot, my fascination about psychic abilities grew.

So here I am... on this journey...to expand my intuitive abilities and change my life.

Come on! Meditate with me...write with me...explore with me! For all the answer are within.

Love Bites - Do you really wanna give him a taste of his own medicine?

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:43:00 +0000

"Give him a taste of his own medicine" ...? Really?

Photo Credits

Yesterday, I overheard a mother giving her daughter relationship "advice." Boy! Do I wish I could've saved her!!! Her boyfriend had been neglecting her and she felt like she'd been put on the back burner. This girls mother said "Well, give him a taste of his own medicine and do the same to him." I was appalled!!! What kind of crap is that?!?!

Hello people!! Don't you know that snakes are immune to their own poison? If a guy is mistreating you...and you mistreat him back... 1) Its NOT going to hurt him like it hurts you, 2) You are further poisoning yourself by doing something you don't like done to you & 3) You will further justify his actions by joining in the act.

The First of the Four Agreements is to speak impeccably! You must speak to yourself, and your partner with integrity and truth. Come from the heart and avoid sinful or manipulative comments.

~ Look inside yourself and find happiness within. Are you feeling neglected because you rely on him to entertain and satisfy you? Then tell him, sincerely, how you feel.

The 2nd Agreement is "don't take anything personally."

Are you questioning yourself? Are you second guessing your value? STOP! Remember that NOTHING others say or do is because of you. It is their own projection of their poisoned "dream" (mental state).

~Find the light within you. Know your worth. Do not attach pain or emotion to his stories, actions, or reactions.

The 3rd Agreement states, "don't make assumptions."

Don't assume ANYTHING! clear your head and heart of everything.

~Fill yourself with light from whatever diving being you believe in. Communicate clearly what it is you are feeling, but don't give him the burden of making things better. This is ONLY up to you. You have the right to tell him, of course speaking impeccably (without sin or manipulation), how you feel and what you would like changed, and you ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT to not agree with the current relationship. It is better to be clear and walk away, then to live in a space where the energy is foggy. Fog prevents good communication, which prevents understanding, which strains love, respect, trust, and perception.

Finally, the 4th agreement is "always do your best!"

If you always do your best in applying agreements 1-3, you will no longer second guess yourself. You will no longer resent yourself, judge yourself, or make yourself suffer. Because every time you look back on a situation, you will know you have done your best, and if the other person cannot join you on your AGREED path, then this person can separate from you.

Who knows what the future holds?

Always doing my best, <3 NeenaJay

The Four Agreements - A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom: Don Miguel Ruiz

noreply@blogger.com (Neena Jay) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 05:27:00 +0000

If you are looking to change your life...this is the place to start!

This book has changed my life!

The author does a great job of giving you step by step instructions on how to break old agreements we have made with ourselves, and acknowledge and make these 4 new agreements that will lead to an overall better life.

In this book, Don Miguel Ruiz shares his knowledge of the Toltec Wisdom People.

The book has 5 chapters, totaling 150 pages.

The Four Agreements:

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

On my path to personal freedom, <3 NeenaJay
