WELCOME FROM OSWALDO and the STAFF Mastermoves

Holidays in Peru!

I'm back from 3 weeks in Peru!

After sharing wonderful days in Peru with family and friends, I would like to share my happiness by letting you have a FREE copy of Chapter 2 of my book "Relax and Grow Smart."

My experiences in Peru still boggle my mind. Peru is a unique country. You will find not only the famous Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, but also the Amazon Rainforest; magical Lake Titicaca; the mysterious Nazca Lines; the beautiful Canyon of Colca and the majestic Andes. Lima, the capital of Peru, was once the capital of the Spanish Empire and has well preserved colonial architecture and the most renowned restaurants in South America.

By far the most popular of the Inca trails for trekking is the Capaq Nan trail, which leads from the village of Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu, the so-called "Lost City of the Incas". There are many well-preserved ruins along the way, and hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world make the three- or four-day trek each year, accompanied by guides.

Here are some picture from my last visit to Machu Picchu.

REFLECTIONS

Archimedes of Syracuse

287 BC - 212 BC

Archimedes was the greatest mathematician of his age. His contributions in geometry revolutionised the subject and his methods anticipated the integral calculus 2,000 years before Newton and Leibniz. He was also a thoroughly practical man who invented a wide variety of machines including pulleys and the Archimidean screw pumping device.

COACHING

Relax and
Grow Smart

Chapter 2
By Oswaldo Koch

One of my most popular ebooks is Relax and Grow Smart where I explain how to learn and practice Vision Boards. When the DVD The Secret was released, John Assaraf's story of manifesting his giant mansion by using vision boards popularized the concept. Many of us, however, have been doing them for years. The DVD is great and I highly recommend it. You will learn about the Law of Attraction and how useful are Vision Boards for manifesting your future reality.

What is a Vision Board?

A vision board, also called a Mind Map, is typically a big poster on which you paste or collage images that you've torn out from various magazines to represent your goal or objectives. But there is a sequence for creating a Vision Board in relacionship with your goals and objectives.

The idea behind this is that when you focus on your goals and objectives, and surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or who you want to marry, your life changes to match those images and those desires.
Keeping your mind focus on your goals and objectives certainly isn't an easy thing to do. But, after reading the Second Chapter of Relax and Grow Smart, you will learn how to start using Vision Boards for manifesting your future reality.

I've got all sorts of stories to tell you and more information on Vision Boars and the Law of Attraction. And I'm not just talking business or money. I believe in a balanced life with great fitness and fun!.

Enjoy the book!

TIPS AND TRICKS

Want To Lose Weight? Drink Water with Salt!
By Oswaldo Koch

Try consuming several glasses of water with a bit of sea salt before diving into a snack to see if that takes care of your craving. Signs of hunger may be a warning flag that your body is need of a good drink. Nothing quells the appetite like water with a bit of salt

Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs.

Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs. Water not only fills you up and lessens your appetite, it prevents those "hungry horrors" we all encounter when our blood sugar drops and we reach for cookies, candy, ice cream, fries or other high-calorie treats. Water also flushes out the system, rids the body of bloat and toxins.

Sea salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly humans. Water and sea salt regulate the water content of the body. Water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. There are two oceans of water in the body; one ocean is held inside the cells of the body, and the other ocean is held outside the cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the volume of these oceans, and this balance is achieved by salt - unrefined salt.

To combat this loss of fluids, the answer is simple. Drink water with a bit of sea salt. Six to ten glasses of pure water with a bit of salt each day are necessary to enhance your body's functioning. Beyond helping your digestive system, getting enough fluids will give you fresh skin, clear eyes and shining hair. Because fruits are largely made up of water, they are perfect snacks.

The Law of Attraction

by Oswaldo Koch

When you Apply the Law of Attraction in your life, all you desire can be yours. Is it easy? No!

Does it take effort? Yes! But you can do it once you understand the principles and start to integrate them into your life. Let me explain how this powerful law works:

Everything comes to us through the most elemental law of physics - Like Attracts Like! Like Attracts Like is nothing more than the Law of Attraction. It is absolute and has nothing to do with your personality, your religious beliefs, being a "good" or a "bad" person or anything else. No one lives beyond this Law. It is an unquestionable law of the universe.

Scientists now believe that the universe may be just a large conglomeration of attractor patterns under which all of nature is guided. These attractor patterns might be viewed as
the underlying cause or 'Mind' of the universe with which science is learning more and more everyday.

Spiritually speaking, the law of attraction is a profound truth that has been passed down to us through the teachings of numerous spiritual traditions throughout history. It has been explained to us that our actions don't just have an effect in this life but in future lives and that this is the reason for our fortunes and our sorrows each minute.

In my book Think and Grow Smart I explain tha the Law of Attraction is simple in concept but practice is necessary. Daily practice is required for creating the awareness of this powerful law. But once you "get it", once your have the awareness of how it works, there is no looking back! It will be part of you forever. The simplest definition of this law is "like attracts like." Some important concepts of the Law of Attraction are:

Energy attracts like energy
You are a living magnet.
You are the result of your dominat thoughts.
Energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration.
You get what you focus on, whether wanted or unwanted.
Everything draws to itself that which is like itself.

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap" is offered to us both as Christians and Buddhists alike, and Earl Nightengale has given us a modern wake-up call to this pervasive truth in his
"Strange Secret" philosophy. He has aptly told us "We become what we think about" and indeed, this law of attraction is becoming more and more understood each day.

Learn to use the Law of Attraction and may all your dreams come true!

You Are What You Eat

Energy
MACA Balls

"The Perfect Snack"

"Natural." "Nutritious." "Wholesome ingredients." "Packed with protein." You've seen the claims. Today's market is booming with various protein bars, energy bars and meal replacement bars. The question is, how substantial are their health claims? Are these bars full of nutritional value, or are they really just dressed-up candy bars?

Try this nutritious "energy balls" instead...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:

-1 cup organic peanut butter
-1 cup honey
-1/2 cup Peruvian Maca

-4 cups of any combination of the following ingredients:
-Granola
-Oatmeal
-Raisins-Sunflower seeds
-Dried cranberries
-Flax seed (ground or whole)
-Oat bran
-Wheat germ

Steps:

1. Mix peanut butter, honey and Peruvian Maca.
2. Add 4 cups of any of the additional ingredients. My favorite combo for taste and health factor is oatmeal, cranberries, flax seed, and peanuts.
3. To make the perfect balls, play around with the honey (if it's too dry) and oatmeal, bran, etc (too moist) until the balls hold their shape and aren't too gooey. Ideally, let the mix sit for few minutes before doing the balls.
4. Now, roll the balls to about 1cm and then refrigerate (or freeze) ... enjoy!

JOKE OF THE WEEK

Drunken Soldier

One day a man is riding the subway. He was the first one on so he waited for everyone else to board. He sees a teenage kid with multi colored hair, a mohawk and feather earrings in both ears.

The man stares at the punk for a while until the boy finally shouts out to him

"What are you looking at?!"

The man then replies " About 17 years ago when I was in South America I got drunk, I then screwed a parrot and I thought you could be my son."
