Summarize the following:
Depending on your interests and your tradition, you may find it necessary to chakra cleanse thoroughly prior to channeling, as a way of balancing and cleansing your energy pathways. On the other hand, you might find it more effective to pray, recite a mantra, or otherwise center yourself physically and emotionally. However you choose to cleanse yourself for your investigations, make sure that you establish a mutual understanding and respect with your spirit guide. It's extremely important to establish boundaries and articulate your desires. Spend a considerable amount of time in trance meditation, developing your relationship with your guide before you start demanding the answers to life's mysteries. This may involve picturing the source as a person or presence with a name, image, or voice, if it hasn't already appeared to you as such. If you believe the source is within you, this may involve becoming more aware of yourself and your thoughts, feelings and habits. End each session on a positive note. Thank your guide for their assistance and their guidance, offering respect and appreciation. Try not to end it in frustration or anger. Make the transmissions public by writing or otherwise recording your sessions with your guide. This both serves to distance the transmission from your psyche, and readies you to receive the next message. Keep the communication flowing through you, not sticking around and gunking up your subconscious.

summary: Cleanse yourself for reception before the channel opens. Develop an intense personal relationship with the source. Record everything.

Some bosses think they have to know everything, but it's okay to ask for help. Your employees will recognize it as a sign of strength because your aren't afraid of admitting that you don't know everything. Say, "I'm mulling over how to approach this merger decision, and I'm open to your suggestions. If you'd like to talk about your ideas or concerns, drop by my office between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. today." Don't be defensive when your employees criticize your decisions or performance. Instead, consider their comments and decide if they make sense. If they do, consider it an opportunity for growth. Don't punish people for giving you negative feedback. No one is perfect, not even you. It's normal to make mistakes. Give credit to your employees for a job well done, and consider the organization's accomplishments to be a group effort. Bad bosses often hog the credit, but good bosses spread it around. Acknowledge the contributions of others. Congratulate your employees for a job well done. When people give you praise, mention the employees who helped you make the accomplishment happen. Despite your best efforts, everyone makes mistakes. If you've made a bad decision or snapped at an employee, admit your mistake and apologize. Say, "I'm sorry that I shut you down this morning when you came in to make a suggestion about the project scope. I truly value your input." You may have some employees that are better performers than others. Perhaps some even remind you of yourself. Keep these opinions to yourself. Showing favoritism is damaging to the workforce. It can discourage workers who don't feel favored, and it can cause stagnation in favored employees. If you find yourself focusing your attention on a fraction of your employees, make a point to shift your attention to include others. If you go out to lunch or happy hour with employees, make sure everyone is invited.

summary: Ask for help when you need it. Be open to criticism and use it to grow. Avoid taking credit for all of the work. Acknowledge your errors. Avoid showing favoritism.

You can change the shape of the wire using a hammer and jeweler's block. Try placing your hoop earring on a jeweler's block and hammering the hoop to flatten it out. Don't hammer to much or you may break the wire. You can leave your hoops as a classic circle, or you can experiment with other shapes. Use your pliers to bend and shape the wire into other interesting shapes. Try forming the wire into a square, triangle, octagon, or diamond. You can also use your pliers to change the look of your hoop earrings. Try using your round nose pliers to bend the wire in a few places and create a wavy effect. You can bend it just a little bit, or bend it into dramatic waves around the entire earring. If you want to use this technique, then you may want to make your hoops a bit larger to provide slack for bending the wire. A simple way to embellish your hoop earrings is to slip some beads onto them. Try using colorful glass beads, crystal beads, or even wooden beads to add some extra flair to your earrings. Arrange the beads in a pattern to create a colorful set of hoop earrings.
summary: Use a hammer and block to flatten the wire. Form the wire into other shapes. Bend the wire to create a wavy effect. Add beads.
