Off major shipping routes, Mauritius remained uninhabited until the 16th century, allowing it to develop into one of the worlds biodiversity hotspots. It was favoured by pirates and occupied briefly by the Dutch before the French brought African slaves to work the sugar plantations. Captured by the British in 1810, Mauritius achieved independence in 1968. Its diversification into textiles, tourism and, of late, financial services, telecommunications and cyber services has been an Indian Ocean economic success story. So too has its stable multicultural society.
Descendants of Indian labourers brought in after the abolition of slavery in 1835 now comprise 70 percent of the population, and Chinese and Muslim traders add to a French and Creole cultural legacy. This friendly co existence of cultures expresses itself in croissants for breakfast and curry for dinner, and garish Indian temples near French colonial mansions.
With world class hotels offering the best service in the Indian Ocean and a renowned gastronomy as well as top spas and golf, Mauritius also offers more to do than many tropical islands, with trekking, mountain climbing and eco tourism playgrounds. With its signature sunny days, the worlds third largest coral reef surrounding a turquoise lagoon and silky blonde sandy beaches, this island certainly comes close to paradise.

Hurricane Season Tip 9 - This stay calm and peacefully overcome the situation will prove to assist you immeasurably.
Hurricane Season Tip 10 - as you're going through your preparation, do one critical thing more this year. Thinking peaceful and calming thoughts towards the hurricane.
Imagine yourself softly sending peaceful energies such as love and forgiveness out to the universe. Then picture universe accepting your peaceful intentions and gracing the incoming hurricane with a serene aura of absolute peace.
I didn't mean to throw you on that last one.
There is a brilliant researcher from Orlando, Florida that uses that same concept of focused peaceful intentions. And this man has applied it to his 35 years of studying mind over matter principles from throughout the world.
Traditionally mind over matter was used in dire situations to protect loved ones from disasters. And to heal sickness or injury.
As he went on to study the various ancient civilizations that had mind over matter teachings. He was simply amazed at what could be done using this remarkable technique. Typically it was used in ancient times to endure extreme circumstance.
Glens true love however researched methods that even predated written words. And that passion was to study the ancient art of energy healing. Another early influence, Glen B. Stewart discovered 19 scientific studies have proven when a group of people project peaceful energies towards a city's population. The results were indeed surprising with a noticeable the reduction in crime rates. This was due to higher level of peaceful harmonics giving everyone a stressful and more vibrantly healthy day.
The world can thank the legendary Maharishi for that discovery. This visionary Dr. introduced a form of meditation called transcendental meditation or TM. He came to America in the 60s and influenced a wide variety of people from all walks of life. Famous Hollywood people such as Clinton Eastwood Burt Reynolds Donovan and even the Beatles and studied his philosophies. Perhaps his greatest work was in the discovery of group meditation applied towards creating a more peaceful society.
Yet The limiting factor then as is now, is the amount of people that are dedicated to manifesting a positive intentions towards a cause. Sadly, we as human race have lost the Maharishi. Recently he ascended to his highest calling. In fact the past on in his meditation pose. Supreme serenity was his last hour.
What can we learn from forward thinking visionaries such as the Maharishi? Glen B. Stewart had given that consideration 3 years ago. Glen discovered his remarkable works through mutual friends.
What Glen B. Stewart discovered is a global group of people from all different healing styles can manifest a single desired result as well. This is what is known today as the Stewart principle.
No one type of ancient healing philosophy was considered the ultimate way. And the results reported this spongelike neutrality as well. Glen thanks the famous martial artist Bruce Lee for this global search approach. Back in the 60s and 70s this was a stark contrast to learning from just one master for example.
It is considered today true vision, to study all forms of possibility to any given solution. This is proven to be the ultimate template for the most depth to any learning experience.
Glen did was applied this 35 seasons of mind over matter mental abilities to manifesting Hurricane Rita.
Glen B. Stewart believes this evolutionary training is the future of natural hurricane reduction technology.
Yet another deadly force of nature is the killer tornado. The disadvantage of trying to manifest and energy reduction with a tornado is due to the fact that there is not as much time to act. Keep in mind however, even tornadoes can be reduced as more people become aware of this remarkable and evolutionary hurricane dissipation possibility.
The most promising news? There is a fully coachable system of manifesting hurricane reduction taught to groups of people online. This milestone in hurricane relief aid is taught exclusively by the father of hurricane reduction, Glen B. Stewart. Picture this for a moment - the divine ability to do your part and save lives yourself. Imagine closing deadly book of hurricane horrors once and for all.
This remarkable life saving learning experience is called the One With The Winds workshop.
