Blogging 101

– By: Noel Swanson, 2008-04-23

If writing is an art, then, blogging is one way of using words to come up with an art. This is because people who are into blogging are the ones who are artistic on their own sense, carefully choosing words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes, desires, and everything.

Basically, blogs were first introduced as weblogs that refer to a “server’s log file.” It was created when web logging hit the virtual market. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, web logging gradually saturated the virtual community making the Internet a viable source of greater information.

However, with web logging, you still need a web site and domain names, but with blogging, you do not need anything just an account with blog providers. In most cases, these kinds of blogs are free of charge.

With the onset of blogging in the industry, personal journaling had been a common ground for people who wish to be known all over the world. However, not literally famous as this is not a case on being popular or well-known personality.

Generally, blogs are created for personal use. Like a journal, people can write their daily adventures, sentiments, and whatever ideas they want to express online.

Nevertheless, with the advent of the online businesses, blogs had gradually taken the limelight in providing businesses a chance to boost their productivity online. This is where the business blogs have taken the limelight.

Business blogs are, basically, created to advertise the services or products of a certain web site or online business in order to increase online sales.

Moreover, business blogs are also one way of promoting the company so that the other readers will know that a certain company exists online. With blogs, entrepreneurs are able to establish a name in the virtual market through articles that can be very useful in the reader’s life.

From there, you can make money out of blogs by simply syndicating it to your business’ web site. This can be done through the RSS technology.

So, if you are thinking to create a blog, whether for business or for pleasure, you need to know some tips that could help you get through and make your blog one of the interesting blogs online.

Here’s how:

1. Consider your audience

Even if your blog is generally personal, still, it would be better to consider the minds of your readers. You have to think of something that would interest them.

After all, most of the reasons of people who write blogs are not at all confined to their own personal motives. Most of them would love to be “heard” (or read) and would love to be known, in some way or another, even for just a minute. Hence, it is very important to come with a write up that everybody can understand, not necessarily that these people can relate to it but they can understand it.

2. Pictures speaks a thousand words

To make your blogging worth the browsing effort of your readers, it would be extremely nice if you will put some pictures in it. It does not necessarily mean you have to place a picture of yourself. Any photographs will do as long as it does not pose danger or insult to anyone who will be reading your blog.

3. Make constructive and beneficial blogs

Even if you are free to write anything you wan to say to the world, still, it would be better to create some write-ups that would be beneficial to your readers.

After all, its information technology that you have there so better be inclined to provide information rather than sheer quirky entertainment.

4. Avoid making multifaceted and complicated blogs

In order to have an interesting blogs, try not to use some highly technical and highfalutin words. After all, it is not a science discourse or a debate that you are making, so better stick to simple facts and short blogs.

Bear in mind that most people who use the Internet usually do more scanning than scrutinizing each site word for word. Therefore, it would be better to come with blogs that will not bore your readers just because you have these lengthy articles.

5. Make it interactive

As much as possible and if your capacity will allow it, make your blog interactive. Yu can do this by placing some video or audio clips in your blog.

You can even place an area for comments or for some feedbacks. In this way, you can get some impressions or reactions of other people. Who knows, you might even gain some friends just by making them feel at home in your blog site.

Indeed, blogs are not created just for the mere fun of it. It also has its own purpose in the world of the Internet. Therefore, for people who wish to harness their craft, as far as writing is concerned, blogs are the best way to do it.

As they say, blogging is the contemporary term of creative and commercial writing.

The power of the BLOG!

– By: Kw Singh, 2008-04-10

Once you know what a blog is, you may ask: How does this help my business? How does it help me to stand out?

1. Team Communication. Companies use blogs internally to communicate project status to stakeholders and managers. It beats clogging everybody’s email with mass broadcasts. It allows these missives to be archived, indexed and easily searched.

2. Enrich Your Clients. You can easily link to articles and resources relevant to your readers and their needs. You can more easily attract experts to provide value-added content to your audience.

3. Get to Know Your Customer. Nobody buys from someone they do not know. Blogging allows you to demonstrate your expertise and point-of-view quickly and easily. In addition, blogs allow the customers to receive your updates in the format they choose.

4. Collaborate. You can create your own marketing buzz to drive attention and buyers to your products and services. Some companies use internal blogs to report on projects or to track work groups distributed around the world.

5. Research and Development. Weblogs are the perfect forum to test out new ideas and receive instant feedback. You can allow others to see how you develop your products and services, and at the same time, they can tell you how best to serve them.

6. Go Global. Blogs, like other online media, allow you to take your business and ideas to a global market. Translation services are getting better every day, allowing more people to read online content in different languages.

7. Hidden Entrance to the Press. Journalists are busier than ever and blogs provide a virtual directory of pundits on any topic. You and your company can be the content expert they are looking for. Furthermore, if your company is talked about in the blogosphere it could end up using that exposure as a back door to the press.

8. Get Published. Publishers are turning to blogs to find new writing talent. Blogs can give a publisher a taste of your writing style as well as a sample of your depth of knowledge. Content specific blogs show a commitment to a certain topic or subject matter.

9. Write your book. Let your readers help you write your latest book or article. Post chapters or ideas, then let readers help you in researching, testing and suggesting ideas. Or, use a blog after your book is published to update the material or to answer questions from readers.

10. Success Stories. Invite clients to blog about their successes with your products and services – it is like a living testimonial that never ends. As clients share their experiences, your prospects can see first-hand how you can help them, too.

Why Your Business Needs a Blog

– By: Scott C. Margenau, 2008-03-21

Every business, regardless of its size, needs a blog. I know what you’re thinking: “But I have a professional image to uphold. How can a blog possibly attract new customers and how can it provide them with the information they need?” The answer is simple: A blog can be one of the most decisive public relations tools in your marketing and branding tool kit. Read on and I’ll educate you on the basics of blogs.

What is a blog?

The term “blog” is slang for “web log.” Wikipedia defines a blog as “a web site where entries are written in chronological order and are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order.” The word can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. To get a feel for the wide use of blogs, consider the following: In September 2007, blog search engine Technorati tracked more than 106 million blogs. Some notable corporations that use blogs are HP, Google, Microsoft and ImageWorks Studio.

Myths and Facts

No doubt the last thing you need is a lecture on the latest Web 2.0 strategies. However, I should correct a few common misconceptions about blogs, as well as why web design companies use them as an effective method for reaching out to their audience.

Myths

Blogs are used only by teenagers.
You need to spend many hours every day to maintain a blog.
You need to know HTML and have other coding skills to blog.

Facts

Blogs allow a company to control the editorial content of the web site while restricting/blocking users’ comments.
Blogs can be updated as often as you wish. But to make them more effective and valuable to your audience, update them often.
Blogs require no knowledge of HTML or special coding. There are
numerous blogging software packages on the market that are free.
Blogs allow companies to quickly get information out to customers, unlike traditional communication methods.
Blogs are an inexpensive way to effectively communicate and share information with your audience.
Blogs comprise text and external links, making them search engine-friendly.

Benefits of Corporate Blogging

In January 2007, Forrester released a research study centered on “The ROI of Blogging – The ‘Why’ and ‘How’ Of External Blogging Accountability” by Charlene Li and Chloe Stromberg.

According to the study, some of the benefits of corporate blogging are:
Greater brand visibility in mainstream media on the Web
Word-of-mouth advertising
Improved brand perception
Instantaneous consumer feedback
Increased sales efficiency
Fewer customer service-driven PR blowups

The Outcome

Consumers are better educated today because of the vast amounts of information available on the Internet. Not only will a blog convey information to your target demographic faster and cheaper than traditional means, but when coupled with search engine benefits, brand visibility, and a value-based proposition, a blog should be an essential part of your marketing platform.

The 10 Most Important Things to Know About Aura

– By: Rose Rosetree, 2008-03-18

Whether you are a sophisticated aura reader or simply curious, have I got a list for you! After you go through these 10 most important things, count up how many are new to you. This short list could change your life.

1. Not Just Color

How often have you heard misleading phrases like, “See auras” and “See the colors”? I’ve successfully taught aura reading to thousands of people, on three continents, and I’m here to tell you that many folks never see colors at all. Nevertheless, they can become superb aura readers.

When people do see colors, it is usually only a small part of the information that they receive. Not so for some really famous aura readers, like Sylvia Browne, Doreen Virtue, and Barbara Brennan — but maybe one reason they are so famous is that their gift sets match what people expect.

Ladies, do you believe that there is only one way for you to be beautiful? Where is it written that nobody will look at you twice unless you are tall and skinny, blonde and busty? That kind of myth helps nobody.

Guys, you get your share of pressures, too. Does your value in life depend on how close you can come to looking like Swooney Clooney? There’s just one George Clooney, and he isn’t you. (Somehow you have managed to get over this. I just know it.)

Well, there are plenty of ways to be gorgeous–and powerful—as an aura reader. A good teacher will help you to read auras as yourself, not trying to copy anyone else.

2. Not Just Vibe

Is it aura reading when you get “good vibrations” about somebody? Sure, it’s a start. However, vibe-reading isn’t quite the same thing as literacy.

Back in the day, before you could read words on a page, you could look at somebody’s handwritten note and decide if it looked good or bad or pretty or scary. In a way that’s informative, but why stop there?

Unless you developed more literacy than that, you wouldn’t be able to read the words here. Think for a moment about the difference between getting a vague impression versus actually reading. So much knowledge comes to you because you learned how to read words. If you can do that, you can learn this other kind of literacy. You can learn to read auras in depth and detail.

3. Real Bodies

Your physical body is surrounded by layers of subtle body, made of electromagnetic energy and full of information. I like to say that, having all these layers, you are just like an onion… only you smell better. These energy layers make up your aura, so it is physical, only in a metaphysical way.

Once you appreciate that auras are 3-D energy bodies, you’ll understand why it’s so limiting to think of them just as colors. How would you feel if someone came into the room where you are right now, looked you up and down, and saw only colors? Sure, there are colors in your skin, hair, and eyes, but do you want to be judged only by that?

3. Hundreds of Databanks

Ever hear that an aura contains chakras? Its true. Spiritually literate people have been reading chakras for 10,000 years. In fact the word “chakra” comes from ancient Sanskrit. and it means that every human aura contains major and minor data centers, like the heart chakra, the throat chakra, etc.

A recent discovery about chakras is reported in my latest how-to book, “Cut Cords of Attachment.” Every major chakra contains 50 different databanks of information.

Yes, that’s a lot of data, isn’t it? Whatever your curiosity, certain databanks can give you really practical, accurate information — whether you want to learn about character, emotions, health, consumer concerns, or more.

Reading these databanks in auras isn’t weird or other-worldly. It’s a vital survival skill for the 21st century. Once you find a teacher who can help you to find your way in to this information, reading auras is easy and fun. Sometimes even funny!

4. Hidden Gifts

Every databank in your aura contains two types of information: gifts and “stuff.”

For instance, you have a databank in your solar plexus chakra (at your ribcage) that I call “Personal Power When It Counts.” When you’re emotionally invested in a relationship, how do you handle conflict? That’s different from your solar plexus databank about “Power When at Work.”

In each databank, you have a gift of your soul. This is permanent, like a fingerprint. It’s validating to learn about your gifts. Do you tend to be fair, kind, forgiving, or naturally assertive? Building from your strengths is smart. By learning about your innate gifts, you can find enormous validation for your natural way of doing things.

5. Stuff

Yes, that’s one of my technical terms. “Stuff” means things that distort the gifts of your soul. “Stuff” could be dysfunctional patterns learned in childhood, coping mechanisms of all kinds, stuck fear or pain, even things added into your aura like mix-in’s put into ice cream at some dessert restaurants. Instead of M&Ms or cashews, your aura could contain cords of attachment, negative thought forms, or other forms of astral debris.

But here’s the important part. Stuff can always be released. Always! I say this as someone who regularly does phone sessions of Energy Spirituality, moving out stuff permanently. And I’m hardly the only healer in the world. Speaking of which…

6. Smart Consumers Read Auras

Have you ever gone to a non-doctor doctor? In America, appointments to holistic healers began to outnumber physician visits in 1997, well before the start of this millennium. Your favorite healer might do chiropractic, Healing Touch, Reiki, massage, shiatsu – anything from acupuncture to z-cupuncture (okay, I made that one up).

What do all these healing methods have in common? They mostly align your aura. All the benefits to your body are a kind of mind-body-spirit side effect.

So many doctors, so little time… How can you tell which practitioner really helps you? Read your own aura before and after the treatment. This is just one way that aura reading is indispensable for a consumer.

Reading auras, you can taste fruit before you buy it. And never again will you buy those pricey roses that droop once you bring them home. Flowers like that may look pretty on the surface, but their auras are puny. That’s why they die so fast. Get your money’s worth.
For the same price, you could buy flowers that are aurically radiant.

7. Your Perfect Gift Set

Ever since you’ve been born, you have owned a perfect set of gifts for reading auras. That probably isn’t 100% about seeing colors.

No problem! You don’t have to be visual in a particular way to succeed as an aura reader. And I’d urge you to strongly question any “teacher” who has led you to believe that success requires that you be anything other than who you naturally are. Having to “work at” aura reading is a pathetic misunderstanding. A teacher who asks you to work hard in order to read auras… has failed you.

Also, if you have been waiting to get rid of a “block” that keeps you from seeing auras, consider that you don’t have any block at all. Learn techniques that use the gifts you have. In “Aura Reading Through All Your Senses,” I list a whole table of techniques at the front because the book contains over a hundred of them.

However you approach auras, give yourself the benefit of a variety of techniques. Even talented people need this. Practical techniques have helped you to read, and write, to play any sport or musical instrument, to use a spoon, to shampoo your hair. Why should aura reading be any different?

8. Regular Photos Are Fine

Have you ever seen colorful aura photos? They’re sold at psychic fairs. Some people say that you need a photo like this to read an aura. Ridiculous!

I can teach you to read auras from regular photos, Internet photos, cell phone photos. You can read auras when you watch TV or movies. (Finally, the mystery of screen chemistry solved!) Read auras whenever and wherever you like. It isn’t rocket science, trust me.

Because aura reading is so portable and practical, it may be the most useful hologram of the soul that you can read. For astrology, you need a birth time. For handwriting analysis, you must have a written sample. For face reading (another of my specialties, something I dearly love doing), you need a decent frontal photo. Just yesterday, a reporter sent me a celebrity photo to read and the guy’s face was almost completely covered by a football helmet. Sure, I could have read his aura, but for a face reading I had to beg her to supply a different picture.

Once you find your way in, you’ll be amazed how much you can learn by reading auras from photographs.

9. Practical Insights

Just how practical is the information from reading auras? It could save your life.

Sometimes companies hire me to do personnel profiles. I’ll point out when a job applicant’s aura shows a tendency to deception, cruelty, even violence.

Reading auras, in person or from photos, you can do three different lie detector tests. Might there be a problem with alcohol or drugs? That shows clearly in an aura, too. What else? You can even preview a lover sexually.

This is accurate information, folks. And those who scoff just don’t get it.

10. Glorious Service

Whatever kind of work you do, you can help people more by reading their auras. Use any aura reading technique that works for you.

For some people, aura reading is about psychic flash, but it doesn’t have to be. Personally, I use aura reading as a technique for spiritual development. When you can read people deeper, don’t you think that might change the way you relate to their Source?

It’s glorious, too, reading your own aura. You discover your own gifts of the soul. (Just because you have them doesn’t mean that you’ve known about them consciously.)

Social Network

One of the most crucial inventions of the 20th century was undoubtedly the internet technology. Ever since its application in praxis, the internet technology has created a kind of revolution all through. It has remodeled the definition of so many aspects of life itself. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to comment that the phenomenon of globalization itself is largely, if not wholly, a result of internet applications. So overwhelming is its presence and impact on human life in the 21st century that we can barely think of anything that is totally independent of internet applications. A great instance in this regard would be the internet sites for social network.

A social network site does exactly what the name itself suggests. These sites build social network online. That means people share their interests and several kinds of activities through these sites. Exploring a social network site also enables one to explore the interests of other people. Needless to say, this comparatively new phenomenon has become immensely popular ever since its inception and the popularity of the various sites that deal in such social network service are ever on an increase.

In most cases the social network sites are structured into several ways that the users can employ to interact with each other. Go to any such site. As you get yourself registered, you will find that there are several options like messaging, chat, voice chat, discussion groups, sharing of files, e-mailing system, and so on. There are so many sites that revolve round this aspect of social network. Some of the most popular social network sites are MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, Bebo, and Friendstar. Each of these sites comes up with their own ways of classifying the services. For instance there are often categories such as the former classmates, etc. where you may search for the friends whom you last met during your school or college days. There are other similar kinds of categories that make your task of search quite easy.

There are several business applications of the social network sites as well. The fact that such sites connect so many people all across the globe against almost no cost attracts several small business enterprises or the entrepreneurs. A social network site can indeed go a long way in helping such people in extending their base of contacts. The companies that sell several products and services too are drawn towards the social network sites. These sites prove to be great tools for management of relationship with the customers on a direct basis. Needless to say, the popularity of the sites of social network also attracts several business enterprises to campaign with their ads.

It may sound a bit idealistic; but it’s a fact that the sites for social network are often employed with the purpose of realizing some social good. There are the places like the SixDegrees.org that provide great platform to people who love thinking and here they can communicate with like minded people so that their positive energy finds a successful vent. Thus, there is a multitude of ways in which the social network sites prove to be unique and add a humane touch to the internet applications.

Video Reviews: A Look At Web Video and Video Blogging

– By: Noel Swanson, 2008-03-18

Video is a very influential way to get you message across. Since video activates and uses the most dominate of our senses, we are more than likely to remember the message that is being displayed to us. And it is with this knowledge that many people begin to market their web videos in order to get their message across.

Today, the use of web video is extremely prominent, and it seems that everyone from internet marketers to the mother of two living down the street is taking advantage of the power of web video. The reason why so many people are beginning to adopt video as a means to divulging information is because it is a easy, and extremely effective way to connect with their audience on an intimate level.

It’s unsure to say where the future of web video is going to take us however there are several things that are for certain. Web video isn’t going to go anywhere, and the use of video to obtain information is going to grow stronger throughout the next several years.

On video blogging

So you’ve decided to give your fingers a rest and put your best face forward. You want to get involved in video blogging, and why not, it is a great way to connect with your audience and provide them with interesting information in half the time it would normally take them to read it. However, when you have decided to make a video blog, there are several things that you must remember. These tips will allow you to have a video blog that individuals actually want to see, and it will keep your blog interesting and informative.

With video blogging, you have to talk about a story that is interesting. Even if your story is just about what happened to you at the grocery store today, make sure that you have a beginning, middle and end. However, again if you feel your story would take longer than the suggested amount of time, either don’t talk about it or make it into a multi-post story. Many video bloggers will not only write about their story, but they will also include a video that helps describe the story.

One would think that many people wouldn’t want to publish their faces across the Internet for anyone to view however this presumed paranoia is nothing more than that, presumed. Many people find that expressing their feelings about a certain situation, or explaining a solution to a problem, is much easier and faster than simply typing it out. With video blogs, you are able to connect with your audience in an extremely intimate way.

However, no matter why you decide to watch or make a video blog, there is one thing that everyone has in common. We live in a society that is predominately standoffish and distant, however, with the power of web video, and video blogging, individuals are able to connect with their fellow man, without actually seeing them.

Simple steps to writing a blog

– By: Akhil Shahani, 2008-03-15

As an entrepreneur who has seen his share of success, you probably have a wealth of wisdom founded on practical experience. If you’ve wanted to share your thoughts with others with similar interests, but didn’t have the time or inclination to author a bestselling book, writing a blog is just the thing for you. Indeed, most CEOs are taking to it in a big way. Why not join the gang?

The most important criterion while writing a blog is to do it with passion. The second is to ensure that the content is of high quality. Also remember that getting and holding the readers’ attention immediately is particularly important in blogging. Why? Because there are millions of blogs out there on the internet and there has to be a good reason for someone to stop at your site and stay. Here are some of them:

o Write on a subject that’s close to your heart – For a businessperson that could be technology, employee motivation, business ethics or something else. This topic will be your theme and the more passionate you are about it, the better your writing will be. People read blogs because they are interested in the personal opinions of people like themselves, and therefore, cold, clinical writing won’t hold water.

o Be conversational – Writing a blog is not the same as crafting an academic treatise, so complex, elaborate text is out. Imagine you are talking to a group of friends. Write in a friendly way – do not talk down to them and keep up a conversational tone at all times. That way, you’ll encourage your readers to write back, and that is the true measure of your blog’s success.

o Credit your sources – Never use someone else’s content without giving them due credit. Always acknowledge your sources and link to them; use quotation marks when you write something that is not in your own words and if you want to post a few paragraphs from another site, please ask for permission first. This is not just basic courtesy but will also ensure that you stay out of potential trouble for copyright violation.

o Think before you post – Content is king in a blog. So write thoughtfully and knowledgeably on your chosen subject. Do not rant and rave and make your readers run for cover! Another important point to remember is to stick to your topic; do not digress too much from your intended purpose. You will quickly lose readers if you do.

o Link to interesting stories – If you talk about something interesting that you found online, provide a link to it. Nothing is more annoying to a reader than having to search for a way to get to something on the Net. Be sure to link to articles, books, products, other sites and anything else you mention in your blog.

o Respond to comments – Always, always remember to respond to readers’ comments. Nothing drives away a reader faster than not having his or her comment answered. It also implies that you are a serious blogger and care about what your readers think.

o Write concisely – Give the maximum amount of information using the optimum number of words. An introduction of 250-300 words is usually adequate. Clear, concise writing laced with appropriate humor is sure to win you a big fan following.

o Use catchy titles – The headline should draw the reader in. When writing a blog, take care to use descriptive phrases that reveal the purpose of the article. A reader typically decides whether to continue reading the post or not, by looking at the title of the blog entry. Tell as much of the story as you can in the headline.

o Post regularly – You need to write frequently and regularly to keep your blog fresh and in your readers’ minds. The blogs that attract the most readers are the ones with constant and consistent updates.

o Write effectively – Use bulleted points to draw attention. Insert sub headings and keep the sentences and headlines short and to the point. Use the “inverse pyramid” structure – mention the core ideas first and fill in the details in later paragraphs. The first two sentences should be enough for the readers to decide if they want to continue reading.

o Edit your post – Review your content before posting. Proof-read for typos and glaring grammatical errors. This is also a good time to take an objective look at your writing to ensure that you don’t have something offensive or incorrect in it.

The Web has a way of changing things as we know them. Now, you can have thousands of people read what you have to say on any topic. So, find that passion of yours and start blogging – who knows where it may lead? To a published book, perhaps!

Write a blog – it’s easy

– By: Akhil Shahani, 2008-03-15

Now that you have decided to write a blog for your business, what is the next step for you? How do you go about creating that blog? We’ve put together a list of 5 tips to help you on your way:

1. Know your audience – Who are the people that you are targeting? As with any strategy for a good business, it is critical that you identify your niche audience. Answering this question will help you write a blog that will keep the readers interested.

2. Locate your blog – Choose a good site where you want to blog. There are different blog sites available on the internet, some of which are free and allow you to start blogging immediately. If you want to register your own domain name and run your blog on your own server, you will need to install server side blog software. Many web hosts offer an automatic installer that will get your site up and running quickly. Once you have selected the site where you want your blog located, register yourself to create an account. Create a unique title for your blog and provide a brief description that will let others know what it is all about.

3. Choose a template – Most blog sites give you different options for your blog design. Choose one that matches your taste and is in keeping with the theme. Most of them also let you customize it with your own html code, but if that is not your cup of tea, leave it alone – most templates are pretty good. Make sure that the template that you choose reflects the kind of business that you are running – go in for a professional look with corporate colors.

4. Write effectively – Write a blog in such a way that it will be read, time and again. Remember, blogging is all about content. If your content isn’t interesting or relevant to your target audience, there will be no readers for your blog. Keep it brief and adopt a friendly, conversational tone

5. Update regularly – You might think it’s easy to write a blog – well, you’re both right and wrong. Setting one up is simple, but maintaining it on a long term basis is something else altogether. Post messages often and your audience will keep coming back for more. Regular updates to the content on your blog increases your visibility on search engines. Add more information, tips and commentary and invite comments and feedback. Do your best to post at least two or three times a week to keep your visitors interested and coming back for more

To increase the effectiveness of your blog, you could also add on extras:

o Add counters to keep track of visitors to your blog.

o Offer the ability to subscribe to your blog and get posts by e-mail.

o Promote your blog by adding a link to your blog in your email signatures.

o Add advertisements to your blog to earn residual money.

Blogging is here to stay, so go ahead, hop on the bandwagon!

Three dimensional Star of David

– By: Ken Wilson, 2008-03-03

Everyone knows the ancient story about that little guy that defeated the giant with a single stone throw from his slingshot. That little guy’s name was David, the son of a servant, who later became king of Israel, and by many he was called a righteous king.

The memory of King David is still honored in present times. If you don’t know how, you should take the time and look at the flag of Israel, because it has the Star of David symbol on it. This symbol is also used to depict Judaism and Jewish people in general.

This symbol consists of a hexagram, and is also known under the name of the Shield of David. A pendant shaped in such a manner is widely recognized as a symbol of protection. The fact of the matter is that a lot of ancient symbols have gained significance in one way or another. The Merkaba is also a shape that is believed to have some sort of special powers.

The Merkaba is a three dimensional representation of the Star of David. By analyzing the two symbols geometrically, we observe that the second consists of two triangles one pointing up and one down. The three dimensional representation of a triangle is a tetrahedron. Hence two tetrahedra, one pointing up and the other one down form the star tetrahedron, a.k.a. Merkaba.

Casting aside the scientific approach, these symbols are believed to have a great effect on their wearers. While the Star of David has protective properties, the Merkaba is a known symbol for healing, as well as protection. The power of the symbols lies in your beliefs, so there is no room for skeptics.

The star tetrahedron, among Kabalistic believers, is a symbol that holds great powers. In order for anyone to understand the true nature of those powers, we must first become familiarized with the energy flows within our bodies.

The most important energy flows, also known as Prana, run through the center of our body. From there it makes its way to the outer Chakras, and further on into every cell of our body. There are many Prana fields surrounding our body, and they change their color according to our state of mind.

All Prana fields form the Merkaba. Using ancient Prana breathing techniques, one can manipulate those fields, creating an enormous 17 meter energy field. This is a great tool to find self balance and numerous other benefits that come with it.

The uses of this symbol are numerous. One of the most important benefits is the ability to feel unconditional love. Through this we connect with our higher selves and thus reach another level of spiritual growth, something many strive to achieve. Another aid that comes through unconditional love is healing powers, which implies healing ourselves as well as others around us.

If you are interested in benefiting from all the power of this symbol, you should consider purchasing jewelry shaped in this manner. One of the most reliable websites where you can find jewelry of the highest quality shaped like the Merkaba or other powerful symbols is at ka-gold-jewelry.com.

While there are many skeptics in this world who say that believing in symbols like the Merkabais a waste of time, you shouldn’t worry about what they have to say. Beliefs are very important for anyone, because the paths of our lives are determined by them.
