Work from home - start your own relaxation practice

With all the uncertainty in the world these days it is nice to know that you are always in control of your own future if you have skills to offer in the marketplace and are not reliant on someone else to be your boss.

At Frangipani House we offer eBooks to help you on the way to establishing your own practice whether it be in a Relaxation Treatment, Hot Stone Massage, Reiki or even helping you along the way to writing your own eBooks to one day publish.

One of our best sellers is our Relaxation Healing Hands eBook. Similar to a Reiki treatment, however, there are no requirements for attunements; simply practice the hands on positions that are described in the eBook to assist in helping others to relax and unwind and thereby assisting in the body's innate healing mechanism.

Even if you don't wish to use your skills to make money, you will be able to help your own family to relax and unwind... and what a wonderful gift to be able to give in our world today.

Que Sera Sera - Your imagination is your preview of life's attractions.

When I was growing up my mother used to play the Doris Day song Que Sera Sera... I am sure that song must have etched itself into my mind as it played over and over. 'What will be will be'. Well not really, you see your mind has a huge impact on what will be will be... just try it for a while... starting focussing on what you want to happen and then sit back and watch, just relax and let it come into you. Play for a while and experiment... even if it is just a small thing that you focus on... allow your imagination to play and then think of what you want. As Albert Einstein used to say... "Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions".

Are you constantly going to and paying far too much for clairvoyants to tell you your future? Really all you need do if you are wondering what is coming up in your future, is to watch what you are thinking - what you are worrying about, what you spend your time dwelling on, what you are fantasing about, what you are jealous about, what you love, what you admire, what you desire, what ever it is... it's all on it's way to you. The good news is you are in control of your mind... don't like what's showing up in your life? Simply switch your mind onto what you want and imagine again. What you focus on you get more of.

What is Love?

What Is Love?


A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4-to 8-year olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." (Rebecca - age 8 )

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
(Billy - age 4 )

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
(Karl - age 5 )

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
(Chrissy - age 6 )

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
(Terri - age 4 )

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
(Danny - age 7)

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss,"
(Emily - age 8)

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." (Bobby - age 7)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend whom you hate." (Nikka - age 6)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it everyday." (Noelle - age 7)

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
(Tommy - age 6)

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." (Cindy - age 8)

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." (Clare - age 6)

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
(Elaine-age 5)

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
(Chris - age 7)

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." (Mary Ann - age 4)

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." (Lauren - age 4)

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
(Karen - age 7)

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." (Mark - age 6)

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
(Jessica - age 8)

And the final one to melt anybody's heart: Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year-old child whose next door neighbor
was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

How To Be Happy - Make Up Your Mind

As I was having my morning cuppa and checking my emails,
I noticed this one that I thought you may like to read...

How to Be Happy
=================

The 92-year-old petite, well-poised and proud lady,
who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock,
with her hair fashionably fixed and makeup perfectly applied
even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move
necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the
nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she manouvered her walker to the elevator,
I provided a visual description of her tiny room,
including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old
having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room... just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the
furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind."

"I've already decided to love it.
It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.
I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed
recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that
no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones
that do.

Each day is a gift and as long as my eyes open,
I'll focus on the new day
and all the happy memories I've stored away
just for this time in my life."

"Old age is like a bank account.
You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness
in the bank account of memories."

"Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.
I am still depositing."

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
