Are you looking to buy a life insurance policy? Well, be careful. Life insurance can be difficult to understand and it’s easy to be conned into buying something under false pretenses.

Recently a prominent life insurance company together with several of its agents paid a huge fine because it permitted the sale of a life insurance policy disguised as a retirement plan. There was little attention given to what a life insurance policy is truly designed to provide.

Life insurance is not an investment for your benefit. It’s guaranteed income tax-free cash paid to someone you designate in the event of your death. If you deeply care for someone and want to protect them, then buying a life insurance policy makes sense.

As primary bread winner in your family, your lost income could jeopardize the ability of those you love to continue to enjoy their standard of living.

The only way to guarantee an immediate replacement of this money is with the intelligent purchase of a life insurance policy.

Notice I didn’t say term life insurance, low cost life insurance, or whole life insurance.

To your loved ones … this doesn’t really matter.

Over the years I’ve delivered millions of dollars of life insurance benefit to the families of deceased bread winners. And you know what?

No one ever asked me what type of life insurance policy it was. They were just extremely grateful to get the money.

Term is the cheapest, but it’s unlikely the death benefit will be paid since the life insurance policy will probably lapse before you actually die. Right now the premium may seem cheap compared with other types. But what happens when you’re older?

Term life insurance premiums can be level for a specific number of years, but when that number of years is up the price will skyrocket to a point you won’t be able or willing to pay.

Whole life insurance provides a lifetime level premium until the policy is literally paid-up. This could be 10, 20 years … or when you reach age 65, 85 or 100. One big advantage is you don’t have to worry about your policy expiring before you do.

One type of life insurance policy is not necessarily better than another. But it’s critical you understand what you are buying, how it works and your net cost.

After all, if the policy isn’t in force when you die you have thrown your premium dollars right down a rat hole.

By the way, don’t fall for that line about buy term and invest the difference. Anyone who cons you with this bunch of malarkey has absolutely no idea how to intelligently evaluate the purchase of life insurance.

An excellent life insurance policy to consider is universal life. This is the type of policy that guarantees the death benefit up to age 115 regardless of the performance of the underlying investment.

Although more expensive then term life insurance, universal life is far less costly than a typical whole life insurance policy. But be careful because some universal life policies are sold by focusing on projected interest rates rather than contractual guarantees.

If you are considering the purchase of a whole life insurance policy from a mutual company that declares annual dividends, ask the agent for a hypothetical illustration using a dividend forecast at least one percent less the current rate.

In the past when long-term interest rates were higher, mutual companies credited very handsome dividends to their policies. But today with long-term rates still depressed, it’s unlikely a life insurance policy will perform as illustrated.

In summary, pay close attention to the guarantees of whatever life insurance policy you decide to buy. Also, make sure you know the credit rating of the life insurance company.

There is nothing wrong with term life insurance, but understand your options about converting to a permanent plan. This could be critical if you become uninsurable before the policy expires.

Remember, you may never get a second chance to make the right decision.

There is a reason why comfort foods like homemade soups and aromatic herbal dishes seem to have a healing effect on the body. It is because many of the fresh herbs and spices used to create these tantalizing dishes have tons of healing supplemental vitamins and nutrients packed into them. However, you don’t have to be a chef de jour to take advantage of the healing power of herbs. Just go online to a health food store and order your favorite herbal supplement.

Herbal supplements have rapidly gained popularity among users over the past decade. Although eastern cultures have known about the healing effects of herbs for hundreds of years, the power of herbal nutrition supplements are just now beginning to be discovered by western civilization.

The timing of our new “discovery” couldn’t be better. It seems like every month there is a new initiative launched to try and wing Americans off of their dependency on over-the-counter drugs and prescription medicines. Oftentimes, people have been using these medicines so long that their immune systems have adapted to them and they are no longer effective in treating and curing the underlying illness.

However, with healing herbal supplements, your body can begin to heal itself naturally, safely, and effectively. It really doesn’t matter what type of illness or discomfort you are experiencing. There is a natural herbal supplement available to treat just about every ailment, ache, and pain that you may have.

If you are struggling with weight issues, there are safe and natural herbal dietary supplements that can help you conquer the battle with weight loss. If you are having problems with high cholesterol and are becoming a candidate for heart disease and cancer, herbal nutrition supplements such as garlic, ginkgo biloba, and turmeric have been shown to help reduce these risks and stimulate the immune system and healthy blood flow.

Herbal supplements are a natural and effective alternative method of revitalizing and reinvigorating your health. They are safe, affordable, and just flat out work. But don’t take my word for it. Ask the millions of people worldwide who have benefited from the natural healing power of herbal supplements. As always, talk to your doctor before taking on any new medical treatment.

Sometimes overcoming premature ejaculation is a matter of learning effective relaxation techniques and bringing more awareness into your sexual experiences.

Interestingly, this idea contradicts a lot of prevailing wisdom around ‘numbing’ sexual sensations and distracting oneself from the experience.

I want to share a very simple exercise to increase what I call your “cock awareness”.

The more you are present with all your feelings and sensations, the greater the level of your control and arousal and so the more intense your orgasms can become.

Remember orgasm and ejaculation are two separate physiological events for a man (and oh, just by the way, for a woman too!).

The final outcome is that you will develop more control, simply by increasing and refining your awareness, especially of your cock.

The focus and development of awareness is one of the gifts of Tantra.

The word Tantra is a Sanskrit word that means expansion of consciousness and liberation of energy. I’d need a whole other series of articles to begin to delve into that.

For now, I want you to focus on an exercise.

We are all in the chronic habit of holding ourselves away from our genitals, so try this!

THE EXERCISE:

Sitting or laying down, be comfortable.

Relax your breath, notice each breath moving through the nostrils. Then after a few minutes, drop your breath awareness to the navel.

Next drop awareness to the perineum, between the testicles and anus.

And then to the pelvic floor. Bring your awareness to your pelvic floor and relax everything.

Relax your buttocks and anus.

(The pelvic floor is the web of muscles across the base of the pelvis, attaching to the sitz bones, pubic bone and coccyx, forming the base of your torso)

The genitals are enmeshed in these muscles. Usually you are continually pulling up the pelvic floor unconsciously with your inner tension, cutting of sensation.

>From this point on, every moment you remember, bring your awareness to the pelvic floor and RELAX EVERYTHING!

As you are sitting or laying down, feel with your awareness the full length of your cock as it extends from the deep core within and away from the body.

Feel the deep root, where it joins and emerges from your body.

Visualize your sacred cock, as a generator of love energy, a magic wand.

Imagine and feel a fire filling up and flooding of the pelvic area.

Feel the intensity of the most subtle sensations.

Relax into the genitals. Feel them from the inside out.

Relax. Be more rooted in the base of your penis.

Hold the entire penis in your awareness, not just the tip.

Ask yourself, “How can I open more?” Focus on how it feels, not where it is.

Notice how your sensitivity and arousal increase by feeling in a relaxed manner.

There is no outcome here, except to relax and feel more. That is the exercise, practice it often!

While it seems at odds with so much theory around distraction from, and numbing of, sexual pleasure, the basic principle of increasing awareness during sex is this;

Feel your body, sexuality and orgasms; and

Learn your body, sexuality and orgasms; then

Master your body, sexuality and orgasms!!!

In an upcoming article I will explore how the idea of sexual control and mastery is not about control at all … but that would be getting ahead of myself. Until then enjoy yourself practicing.

At home hair color is a million-dollar business, but there are some services that at-home hair color cannot provide. These services include new and funky techniques used by stylists to create custom styles and looks. But if you know how to do the techniques, you can do them yourself without having to set foot in a salon. Here are just a few of the latest salon color trends and how to do them yourself:

Slicing

Slicing is probably the easiest highlighting technique for you to master at home. The look is very trendy and is identified by a few chunky highlights around the face or in the front of the hair. To use this technique on your hair, make 1, 2, or 3 horizontal partings across the top of the head. The partings should be ” to ” thick and be spaced no less than 1″ apart.

Next, work your color through the section of parted hair making sure that you saturate the hair thoroughly. Failure to do so can result in uneven or splotchy color. Process according to directions, rinse, shampoo and dry.

Tipping

Tipping is a great color technique to use if you have short or heavily textured hair. All you need to do is mix up your chosen color according to the directions. Next, use your fingers to apply color to the last ” of your hair length. Use a comb dipped in color to add extra interest and color to selected parts of your cut. The best places to comb on color is in the bangs and top layers.

Linear

Linear color was made famous by Christina Aguilera. While Christina’s color was wild and contrasting, this technique is also used in more subtle hues to create classic looks. To do linear color at home you will need two different hair colors with the same tonal values. The difference in color can be as little as a shade or two or be drastic.

To start the process of linear color, you first need to create your partings. Begin at the occipital bone (the most prominent bone in the back of the skull) and start a zigzag pattern from ear to ear. The zigzags should be narrow and deep. Pin the top part of your hair up onto the crown. Next, continue the zigzag parting around the perimeter of the head. Note: You should not have a solid line of hair parted around the front of the face and hairline. The parting should leave only a few wisps of hair here and there free.

Using your darker color, apply color to the underneath section of hair and the lower section of hair around the face. Apply the lighter color to the entire upper section. Process according to instructions.

As with all color techniques, the partings are crucial when trying out these tricks for yourself. So, pay extra attention to your partings. If they don’t look right, do them over before applying color.

The infrared sauna is quickly becoming the product of choice when it comes to residential or commercial saunas. Unlike traditional units, which use steam to warm the air, infrared saunas use a special type of heat called far-infrared radiant heat, or FIR, a natural energy that penetrates the skin directly without raising the temperature of the surrounding air.

FIR harnesses the therapeutic warming effects of the sun without the harmful UV components, so it’s a safe and effective way to reap the many benefits of sauna usage, which include increased circulation, pain relief, toxin removal and many others.

What makes far infrared saunas superior to traditional types is that they are much more effective, delivering deep heat penetration with much less energy expenditure. Therefore they are less costly to operate, and maximize efficiency.

Also, because they do not heat up the air surrounding the user, they operate at much lower temperatures, only 110-130 degrees Fahrenheit vs. 180-215 degrees for a traditional unit. This offers a much more comfortable environment for the bather, not to mention safer. Regular saunas are often steamy and hot, and it is often quite difficult to breathe. Many older people and those with health conditions tend not to use them for this reason. The infra red sauna, with its noticeably cooler, more breathable environment, can be enjoyed by anyone, young, old or infirm.

Other advantages of far infrared saunas include much quicker warming time, usually 10-20 minutes vs. up to an hour or more, increased sweat leading to more toxin removal, easier assembly and lower costs.

There will always be those individuals who prefer the traditional sauna experience, adapted from Finnish custom, throwing water on hot stones to give off steam. To them that is the only true way to bathe.

But for a growing number of people, infra red saunas are the way to go, offering a relaxing, therapeutic environment without the drawbacks of steam units. This new technology provides a way to reap the many health benefits without having to endure oppressive heat.

Whichever type you choose, you can enjoy it right in the privacy of your own home, because they make units in every size and shape for residential use. You can choose from pre-built models or build one from scratch with a sauna kit.

Do a little research and see what appeals to you. If you’re a purist then a Finnish model might be your top choice. If not, you might find that far infrared saunas are just what you’re looking for.
