Thank You Letter: How to Write a Thank You Letter (Examples and Samples). Letter of thanks for cooperation Thank you for the timely information

You can feel grateful for your friends, family, health, and circumstances, but you can't always express it. To truly express gratitude, you must be kind, open, and responsive, making people feel better. Take your time and let people know that you truly appreciate them. Just remember that being grateful means being happy.

Steps

How to express gratitude to loved ones

Sign a thank you card. Thank you cards aren't just for expressing gratitude to teachers; they can be given to anyone who has positively impacted your life. You can sign a card like this for your favorite barista or your best friend, and you don't have to wait for a special occasion to give one. A thank you card to your loved one is a simple way to express how grateful you are to have them in your life.

• You can also write a thank you note if you don't think your words of gratitude will fit in a card.
• You can send cards to friends, even if they live near you, to create a special effect.

1. Do things for your friends simply because they are your friends. If you want to show gratitude, it doesn't have to be doing something for your friends because they helped you or because you want to do something in return. Instead, help them simply because you care about them and you want to make their life easier. You can bring them coffee or food when they're busy, offer to babysit or walk the dog, or find another way to help a friend.

   • Be observant. Think about how you can really help your friend. If your friend is tired, tell him you will walk his dog and your friend can sleep for now. If your friend's room is a mess, help put everything in its place. Your friend may not even know what he needs until you suggest it.
   • Of course, your friends should do something in return too. You don't want people to take advantage of your kindness.

2. Tell your family that you appreciate them very much. You may be taking family for granted without even realizing it. If you want to express how much you value your family, you should tell your loved ones every day that you love them. This way you will express your gratitude for everything they give you.

   • Tell them this in person or over the phone. Do this as often as possible. Your family is the people you accept for who they are, and it is very important to express your feelings towards them.
   • Show them how much they mean to you by giving them your time. Watch movies together, play games Board games or cook together. This is one way to express your gratitude.
   • Help your family around the house. Don't wait for your mom to force you to do the laundry; Do it yourself.

3. Give meaningful gifts. Expressing gratitude does not mean buying expensive gifts; instead, you can find a way to express how much you appreciate the person through support and care. If your friend has been dreaming of a book for a long time, go with him to a meeting with the author of the book and buy it for him; If your friend is into yoga, but it's too expensive for him, give him a one-month membership.

   • Pay attention to what your friends and family tell you. If one of your friends mentions their favorite band, buy tickets to the concert.
   • If your mom mentions that she'd like to learn how to cook Italian food, buy her a cookbook.
   • You don't have to wait until your birthday or holiday to give a gift. Sometimes best gifts- these are those that are simply given from the heart.

4. Send flowers. Flowers can be sent for more than just a birthday or special occasion. You can send flowers to a friend or family just to show that you care about them and that you care about them. The next time you feel grateful or want to do something nice for a distant friend, call the flower shop and order a bouquet of flowers to make your friend happy.

   • If you find a way to find out your friend's favorite flowers, make a bouquet and send it in person.

5. Bake something. You can bake banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, or one of your friend's favorite desserts to make him happy. You can deliver the cookies to your friend's house or mail them if they live far away. This is a great way to show gratitude because everyone knows how difficult it is to bake anything. Your friend or loved one will immediately understand how much you appreciate them and will be grateful to you.

   • Baking is especially good at showing your gratitude if you know the person needs some encouragement. Chocolate or sweets will make anyone feel better and can be a wonderful way to show you care.

6. Respect your elders. Another way to express gratitude is to show respect to your elders. Whether you are close to your grandparents or simply spend time with older people, it is important to show how much you appreciate them. This is a wonderful way to express gratitude.

   • Listen to what they have to say and don't ignore them. They can teach you a lot.

7. Help the person clean up. Another way to express gratitude to friends or family is by helping with housework or other assistance. Helping a person clean up will clear your mind and relieve that person of an unpleasant task. See if your parents or friends need help and just surprise them by tidying up.

   • If you're cleaning as a surprise, make sure the person doesn't mind you touching their things and doesn't feel like you're invading their personal space.
   • If you are a guest in someone's home for a few days, then cleaning will be a wonderful expression of gratitude.

8. Give the person a list of everything they have done for you. Another way to express gratitude to a loved one is to provide a list of all the amazing things they have done for you, such as teaching you how to make a great noodle salad. You could make a list like this for your boss, family member, or friend; it will make the person feel better that you appreciate them.

   • You can even decorate the list with something so your loved one can hang it somewhere. If you really want to bring joy to a person, you can frame the list.

9. Listen. You can also show your gratitude by listening to the person. Just be close to your loved one, spend time with him and make him feel that you love and appreciate him. Just sit next to the person, turn off your phone, maintain eye contact and listen rather than interrupting or making up an answer in your head. Some people just like to be listened to, and you can show that you care about a person by simply listening to them.

   • Don't give advice unless asked for it. Sometimes it's better not to do this.
   • Don't compare someone's experience to your own unless you think it will help. Instead, evaluate what you are being told from the other person's point of view.

10. Express gratitude publicly. Another way to express gratitude is to thank someone in a public place. But you shouldn't make the person feel uncomfortable. You just have to show that he is dear to you and that you are grateful to him for the help he provided. Say a few sentences during dinner or a small gathering with friends to express gratitude for the role the person has played in your life.

    • You just have to speak sincerely and from the heart. You should give examples of what the person has done for you.
    • You will help the person feel proud if you express your gratitude publicly.

    Expressing gratitude to strangers

    1. Do a good deed. Doing a good deed will help you express gratitude to the world around you. You can send flowers to a stranger, put change in an expired parking meter, or do another good deed. The best thing about this is that you do everything anonymously. Here's what you can do:

       • transfer money or send clothes to charity;
       • teach someone something new;
       • listen to a person who feels lonely;
       • help a person find his way;
       • pay for coffee for the person next to you in line at the coffee shop.

    2. Offer to help. You can express gratitude to a stranger by offering necessary help. While you don't have to overstep your bounds, you can help a woman carry bags of food to her car, help a man carry heavy bags to the door, or help a waiter clean up if he's busy. Make an effort and you can express gratitude in this way.

       • Look for opportunities to help other people. While you don't have to be assertive, many people are simply afraid to ask for help

    3. Smile. Just smile at people to make them feel better. You can smile at the person passing by, sitting next to you on the bus, or serving you coffee. Just smile to make the person feel good. You don't know what your smile could mean to a stranger. Your smile can cheer someone up and improve their mood.

       • Smiling at people in the service industry is a way of showing your gratitude. These people work long hours and feel the thanklessness of such work, so your smile can improve the situation.

    4. Let's tip. Another way to express gratitude is to tip for a job well done. Tips should be good, and this way you thank the waiter or anyone who provided you with any service. This is a small gesture that can help improve the financial situation of the people who help you in any way.

       • Leave a note for the waiter to express your gratitude. Many people spend the whole day at work without receiving any gratitude for their work.

    5. Respect the people around you. Another way to express gratitude is to respect the people around you. Respect other people's space and don't talk too loudly on the phone in quiet rooms public places. Be kind and polite to strangers in the same room. Just make an effort and treat people with the respect and kindness they deserve.

       • Treat people the way you would like to be treated. Don't trespass on other people's personal space. Give up your seat on the bus. Smile at people who look sad.
       • Good manners are a great way to show respect. Don't swear, chew with your mouth open, or interrupt other people.
       • Give people your full attention, show interest in what they have to say, and listen to them fully.

    6. Be a good citizen. You can also show gratitude to the world by being a good citizen. This means parking your car in only one place, picking up your trash, allowing pedestrians to pass, or doing anything else to show your respect to the community. If you litter the world or leaving your supermarket cart in the middle of a parking lot, you'll be an ungrateful citizen.

       • Remember that the world does not belong to you. Always remember to put things in their place and not wait for someone else to do it.
       • Do yours civic duties. Vote for the president and in local elections, and pay taxes.

    7. Give compliments. You can also show gratitude by complimenting people around you. Since we're talking about strangers, you shouldn't make people feel awkward. Just say: “Cool shirt!” or “I like your flowers!” This will make the person feel special. You can give compliments regularly.

       • Think about unique, weird and original aspects. If someone walks in wearing a great shirt, compliment them and the person will be pleased with their own appearance.
       • If someone has a charming smile, say so. But you must do it in such a way that the person does not think that you are hinting at something.

    How to Live a More Grateful Life

    1. Keep a gratitude journal. If you want to make gratitude a habit, you should start with a gratitude journal and write down each week what you feel grateful for. Just pick a day, like Sunday, and make a list of 10-20 things you're grateful for. You may feel like it's no big deal, but if you think about it, you'll realize that there are a lot of things in life to be grateful for.

       • If you read your journal once a month, you can feel how grateful you are for a particular event.
       • You can even stick the list next to your computer to help you get inspired during your workday.

       Licensed Psychologist and TEDx Speaker

       Pro tip: sincerity is everything. Adam Dorsey, a licensed psychologist, says: "There is solid scientific evidence that certain parts of the brain are fueled, when we practice gratitude daily. It’s important not to just say thank you and roll your eyes. If you are able to give sincere thanks, you can benefit from the healing effects of gratitude, which may include a surge of happiness and reduction in symptoms associated with anxiety and depression.”

    2. Do yoga. Yoga is the practice of gratitude. If you want to make gratitude a part of your lifestyle, practice yoga 2-3 times a week and say “namaste” to express gratitude for every breath you take. You can also do yoga at home if that's more convenient for you.

       • Practicing yoga means letting go of judgment and expressing gratitude for the healthy body you have been given. This means you welcome the world and feel good.
       • You need to practice yoga at your own pace and not judge other people’s inability. This helps you become more grateful to the world around you.

"VIBRATION MEDICINE"

New opportunities for self-healing

This book is dedicated to the vast spiritual Hierarchy that silently works for the upliftment of humanity

Medicine of the future - from mechanics to the sphere of mind and spirit

Dr. Richard Gerber provides extensive, carefully selected information about subtle-energy human anatomy... This book describes important bioenergetic principles, the use of which is relevant in our time for the development of new, so-called “Einsteinian” medicine. In addition, I would recommend this book as a reference for scientific workers, and as a guide for non-professionals wishing to expand their knowledge. It will also be of interest to students trying to determine their views on the near future.

Ph.D Dolores Krieger,

professor of medicine at New York University,

Anyone familiar with the latest trends in medicine will easily agree that modern doctors, like physicists, deal with increasingly subtle forms of energies when diagnosing and treating human diseases. Such trends can only be welcomed. They will certainly bring new technologies to medicine, with the help of which we will be able to distinguish the subtle energy manifestations of our mind and body. This, in turn, will require an appropriate treatment approach. Nobody shoots sparrows with guns or tries to manipulate electrons with hammers; in the same way, many diseases cannot be cured only by our usual “guns” and “hammers” - drugs and surgery.

Dr. Richard Gerber did important step in the exploration of the higher energy levels of human beings - in that realm where consciousness and body go side by side, where mind and matter merge. But it does not at all require the reader to plunge headlong into unbridled mysticism and abandon the well-proven methods of traditional therapy. Rather, he proposes to supplement our knowledge of man with ideas about his connections with higher energy levels, the very existence of which is questioned by supporters of the most widespread - mechanistic - paradigm. Dr. Gerber vividly and imaginatively describes the inner aspects of the healing process that are usually not taken into account by most healers who have not been exposed to higher knowledge. His book allows us to go beyond mechanistic concepts, enters the realm of the mind and spirit, and shows that such an approach will be a decisive factor in the development of the medicine of the future.

An exceptionally easy-to-read and understandable presentation of views on health and disease.

Marilyn Ferguson

Dr. Richard Gerber's well-reasoned essay on alternative treatments is the book we've been waiting for. The methods described here can help thousands of people seeking non-toxic healing. The information presented in the book represents a synthesis of various holistic approaches, which gives hope for solving many medical problems. Description large quantity The latest research expands the horizon of our knowledge. Known for his outstanding medical achievements, Dr. Gerber's book provides us with very reliable information about the holistic movement.

M.D Abram Ver,

Arizona State Board of Homeopathic Medicine

Dr. Gerber must be commended for the courage with which he describes latest methods therapy and healing arts. He touches on issues that reflect the deep essence of esotericism. This is the only book that attempts to justify the use of all major types of healing energies and discusses their interrelationships in detail. I'm glad Dr. Gerber chose this interesting topic, certainly worthy of detailed consideration. It is clear that he risks causing the disdain of conservative circles, especially in those cases when he focuses on esotericism, on an unconventional, “subtle energy” approach to reality, but the need for this book is long overdue. Bravo! Dr. Gerber has written a book that everyone in the medical field should read.

M.D Robert Lechman,

Over the past thirty years, there has been a gradual shift in the healing paradigm from the monotheism of scientific medicine towards the concept of holistic medicine, which was previously called energetic medicine. Dr. Gerber's definition of "vibrational" falls into the same category. This book covers well the border area between science and metaphysics, and can serve as a valuable guide for those who are ready to join the energy worldview. Currently, scientists and doctors are stuck in the “Newtonian” model of reality and their worldview will remain in the Procrustean bed of this concept until the “world of etheric energies” is more fully explored. Dr. Gerber's book is a good guide for those who are trying to expand the boundaries of their consciousness.

Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Philosophy K. Norman Shaley

President of the American Medical Association

Every atom of the human body is made up of electronic vibrations. Every particle of the body, every organ and cell contains an electronic vibrational structure that nourishes them and maintains their homeostasis. When this or that organ, this or that part of the body begins to experience a lack of strength to maintain the homeostatic balance necessary for its physical existence, it means that this body system simply does not have enough electronic energy. The reason for this may be injury, illness, or some external factors.

Edgar Cayce

From the book "This Is a River" by Thomas Sugrue

Although this book was written by a physician and discusses various treatment methods, it is not my intention to give specific recommendations or advice regarding how to treat specific ailments. The book examines the mechanisms of action on the body various types alternative medicine, which can serve as auxiliaries in treatment with traditional methods. Reading this book cannot replace conventional medical diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, before attempting to use the therapies mentioned herein, the reader should consult with a professional physician or alternative healer to determine the best therapeutic method of diagnosis and treatment.

For the average reader - especially those without medical training - it is recommended that you read the "Key Points to Remember" section at the end of each chapter first, and then read the chapter from beginning to end. This way of working may be the best way to make sense of large amounts of information. It lays the foundation for understanding the subsequent chapters. In addition, it is recommended to read all chapters of the book in direct sequence, since the content of each subsequent chapter is based on the information presented in the previous one.

I EXPRESS APPRECIATION

This book is the result of more than 12 years of research and internal searches. Although many scientists and researchers are mentioned in its pages, only a few of them have had a truly profound influence on my thinking. The ideas of these people inspired me; their writings stimulated my creative thinking. My understanding has increased to such a level that it has dramatically affected both the perception of myself and the perception of humanity and the Universe as a whole. The realm of physical manifestations represents only a small part of the vast multidimensional reality over which we humans have much more control than this may seem at first glance. By helping themselves and others appreciate the limitlessness of human potential (especially in an area such as healing), these people helped me find my own path.

I would like to thank the pioneers for their efforts and work that have inspired me: Marilyn Ferguson, Robert Monroe, Karl Simonton, Anna and Herbert Puryear, Judith Scat Whitson and William Whitson, Abram Behr, Robert Leichtman, Dolores Krieger, Bru Joy, Bernard Gred, Alice Bailey, Jane Roberts and Seth, Hilarion, Itzhak Bentov, Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, Stanley Krischer, Shafik Karagull, Viola Petit Nil, Ken Pelletier, Meridith Lady Young, Albert Einstein, William Tiller, Nikola Tesla, Edgar Cayce , Edward Bach, Kevin Ryerson, Gurudas, Gabriel Kazans, Geoffrey Hodson, Charles Leadbeater, Rudolf Steiner, Thelma Moss, David Bohm, Dayel Walker, Charles Tart, David Tansley, Harry Oldfield, Elmer and Alice Green, Marcel Vogel, James Hurtak, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian, Ion Dumitrescu, Victor Inyushin, Lou Golden and John Fetzer

The research, actions, and creative support of these people helped bring my book to life.

In a metaphorical sense, writing and publishing this book can be likened to birth. My publishers at Bare and Company, Barbara and Jerry Klau, and their highly skilled staff—executive editor Gail Vivino and designer Angela Wernicke—were like spiritual midwives, helping me deliver the baby after a long period of gestation. I want to thank them for their help, creativity, and willingness to work from my personal vision of what this book should be. Special thanks go to my wife Lyn for her many hours of editing and rewriting. Without her help and patience, this book would never have come into being in the form in which it appears before you.

I would like to give special thanks to Dr. William Tiller and Dr. Gabriel Cousins ​​for taking the time to write the Foreword and Introduction to this book. Their help was especially useful on last stages work.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Steven P. Jobs and his Macintosh development team at Apple Computer Inc. for his creative approach to creating the Macintosh computer. Without my Macintosh (with which the entire book was created), without its ability to synthesize ideas, pictures and images so effectively and simply, I would never have found the time to complete the work in full.

Preface

Dr. William A. Tiller

Until recently, science and traditional Western medicine assumed that living organisms maintain their existence through the following system of interrelated reactions:

Scheme 1

The cause of disruption of the normal functioning of the body is considered to be structural defects in the system that arise due to metabolic imbalance. It is recognized that the chemical level of homeostasis may depend on a connection with the deeper energetic structure of the body, but there is no clearer explanation for this connection. Only recently have scientists begun to recognize the importance of the interaction between body chemistry and electromagnetic fields. Research in neuropsychiatry suggests that small currents flowing between specific areas of the brain cause changes in behavior similar to those caused by the effects of certain chemicals on the brain. Small direct electric currents (10 -12 A/mm 2 - 10 -9 A/mm 2) applied to leukocytes in a test tube stimulated cell regeneration, while higher power currents produced degeneration. Similar studies were conducted to further improve methods of treating fractures in animals and humans. Although we do not yet fully understand the mechanisms by which electric and magnetic fields are involved in cellular metabolism, it is necessary to transform Diagram 1 into the following:

Scheme 2

An illustration for Scheme 2 can be Wolf’s law, which describes changes in bone structure. According to this law, as a result of the fact that a certain mechanical pressure is applied to a certain part of the bone for a long time, new trabeculae are formed in it - precisely in those places that need maximum support due to the uneven distribution of the load. The electromagnetic field generated under the influence of physical pressure affects fibers and collagens that have piezoelectric properties. This field and the microcurrents associated with it regulate the distribution of ions and colloids in liquids located in this area. Ions and colloids are concentrated in certain zones, resulting in clearly defined agglomerations and concentrations. These new semisolid structures mature, become coated with a layer of calcium, and eventually form microstructures that form trabeculae. It can be assumed that such cause-and-effect chains can also be activated by subtle energy stress of an emotional or mental nature.

Scheme 2 is inaccurate because it does not take mental phenomena into account. Under hypnosis, the human body demonstrates extraordinary strength and endurance, which indicates the presence of certain subconscious “mentality-structure” connections. In Aikido, Zen, and yogic practices we see the manifestation of a conscious connection between the structures, mentality and functions of the body. Recent studies have shown that directed thinking can control not only various autonomic physiological functions (for example, skin temperature or pain), but also accelerate regeneration processes. Modern psychotherapists know that some chemical drugs affect the mental state, and certain effects on mentality lead to changes at the physiological (chemical) level. Therefore, the diagram in Diagram 2 needs to be supplemented with the element “mental fields”. But there are other fields, the structural features and functioning of which are currently not fully understood. They, too, apparently participate in this process. Let us designate them (including mental ones) as “subtle energy”. Scheme 2 will look like this:

Scheme 3

Scheme 3 can be considered as a model of a living organism, cell or membrane. Each link in this chain of reactions maintains its homeostasis with the help of the link located to the right of it. The development of a serious imbalance in any of the links in the chain will sooner or later lead to a disruption of homeostasis in the link on the left. To obtain information about possible disturbances in the bioelectric system, it is necessary to observe its subtle energy fields. Unfortunately, we still know too little about their nature and character, so at the moment the basis for early diagnosis of diseases should be systematic monitoring of the characteristics of electric fields. This means that in order to learn how to prevent disruption of the homeostasis of a biological system, it is first necessary to create a tool for monitoring the state of its electric fields. Fortunately, our technical capabilities in this area have grown significantly over the past few decades. Currently, doctors have at their disposal a whole range of advanced electrical measuring equipment for quickly diagnosing a person’s health condition. Many healers also began to use various devices. It is very important to understand exactly what parameters of electric fields they measure in the human body. Based on extensive information about the electrical properties of microscopic areas of the skin (acupuncture points), it is possible to formulate the key characteristics of the three main diagnostic tools currently available on the market. One of them, the Voll device, is used for diagnosis in homeopathic treatment. It allows the healer to build a narrow bridge over the abyss that currently exists between the physical and subtle energy planes of existence. The relationship between these plans is shown in

Scheme 3. To strengthen this bridge and explore subtle energy phenomena scientific methods, we must clearly understand the fundamental principles of homeopathy and its relationship with traditional Western medicine. There is a big difference between allopathic and homeopathic treatments as allopaths focus on disease rather than health. They proceed from the fact that a specific disease always corresponds to certain symptoms that are fairly easy to detect. However, the relationship with more subtle aspects of health turns out to be much more difficult to measure. Traditional allopathic medicine deals with the chemical and structural components of the body at the familiar four-dimensional space-time level, which gives every reason to call it object-based medicine. Within the framework of traditional medicine approaches, a lot of laboratory data have been obtained that confirm the validity of the point of view of a person as just a physical and chemical entity. The perception of most of our contemporaries is oriented precisely towards this approach. Homeopathic medicine deals only indirectly with the chemistry and structure of the body and attempts to manipulate energies on a more subtle level. Homeopathy should be called subjective medicine for the following reasons:

1) it deals with energy that is strongly influenced by the mental and emotional activities of individuals;

2) to date, sufficiently reliable diagnostic equipment has not been developed that could confirm the hypotheses of homeopaths.

A necessary condition To create a reliable scientific foundation for homeopathy, it is necessary to have both a theoretical basis and equipment for experiments in the study of subtle energies. Based on the above, Scheme 3 should take the following form:

Allopathic medicine follows the route that links the subtle energy fields with the functioning of the human body - this is indicated at the top of this equation. Homeopathy follows the path shown at the bottom of the diagram. Concretization of the “subtle energies” element indicated in Diagram 3 leads to the formation of a “series-parallel chain” of Diagram 4, where each of the two levels of chemistry and energy exists and functions within its own type of space-time.

Scheme 4

The book offered to the reader by Richard Gerber is an attempt to build a conceptual bridge from modern allopathic medicine to the future medicine of subtle energies. The main idea of ​​this book is to determine the expected future development of medicine. To appreciate the author's synthesis of vibrational concepts, it is not necessary to agree with all the details of his reasoning. It is the book's overall synthesis of information and perspective that Dr. Gerber believes will be of most interest to the reader.

I liked this book myself. I read it with pleasure and believe that it appeared on time. I don't agree with everything in it, but in general the author's views correspond to some of my fundamental beliefs, for example:

We are all elements of spirit, indestructible and eternal. We have a unique perception mechanism. In my theoretical model, the human mind is divided into three levels - instinctive, intellectual and spiritual; consciousness is assumed to operate within a six-dimensional spatial framework.

Consciousness is formed by the carrier of perception - the human body, which is connected with the surrounding Universe by countless threads. Every person is a spiritual being. It is enclosed in a carrier of consciousness endowed with the ability to perceive (the human body), which carries out the program embedded in it. The human essence is connected with the carrier through the emotional sphere. The substance that is used to create this medium, or "simulator" has a dual nature. One part of it is electrical in nature and moves at a speed equal to or less than the speed of propagation electromagnetic waves. It has positive energy, positive mass and forms a physical component simulator. The other part, magnetic, has the ability to move at speeds exceeding the speed of propagation of electromagnetic fields, and has negative entropy. It forms the etheric component simulator. The total sum of both energies is zero, as is the sum of their entropy.

Thus, simulator(or vehicle) as a whole is created from what we call "empty space", or from the space of pure consciousness, through a process such as fluctuation. This simulator is nothing other than the “world of appearances and forms,” the world of relative reality, which we give shape to with our consciousness. Beyond it lies the Absolute! To appreciate the “absolute”, one must learn to penetrate the “relative”. However, everyone who reads this book is part of the named simulator, and when we talk about holistic health and new medicine, we are talking about medicine built on the basis of material simulator. We know quite a lot about the physical aspect of this material, but we know very little about its conjugate (etheric) component. The time has come for its serious study in order to compensate for the existing bias towards treating only the physical (material) component of the simulator. This book is a serious contribution to the formation of a new approach necessary for successful development of this direction.

Introduction

Sir Arthur Edington once said: “It is indeed easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a scientist to go through a door, whether it be a barn door or a church door. It would be wiser for a scientist to admit that he is ordinary.” man, and simply walk through the door, rather than wait until all the difficulties associated with a truly scientific analysis of this process are resolved." His Vibrational medicine Dr. Richard Gerber not only helps us walk through the door to understanding and accepting vibrational medicine, but also explores the door itself. His book is an encyclopedic, comprehensive examination theoretical foundations and practical achievements of vibration medicine. The author offers a new point of view on the human body, combining several levels of human existence - from the physical to the ethereal. He also includes subtle energy harmonics of spiritual levels in his model. After reading the book, we begin to perceive the human body as a system of multidimensional energy fields in a state of continuous interaction.

By providing a scientific description of this model and supporting it with the latest clinical and laboratory research, the author allows the reader to better understand the body-mind-spirit language used in holistic medicine today. However, the reader should remember that the models mentioned do not necessarily describe reality in its entirety - rather, they serve as a conceptual tool for better understanding the mechanisms being modeled. Even the idea of ​​energy is a concept. If the followers of the generally accepted point of view in modern medicine clearly understood that Newton's mechanistic approach is only a model built on ideas that were two hundred years old, then the transition to another model - Einstein's quantum one - would be carried out with much less resistance. Unfortunately, modern academic medicine still behaves as if it believed in the reality of Newtonian concepts, although over the past fifty years it has been convincingly proven that this model is neither accurate nor complete.

The particular significance of Dr. Gerber's work lies in the creation of a model of interaction between the physical and etheric planes of existence. He provides a correct explanation of the mechanism of interaction between acupuncture meridians, traced using the AMI device invented by Dr. Motoyama. The author describes an improved diagnostic technique based on Kirlian electrography. This technique allows you to see exactly how the etheric body forms a holographic magnetic grid that interacts with the electrical substance and cells of the physical body. The meridian system here acts as key system connections between the etheric and physical planes of existence. The author provides convincing evidence of the possibility of using this connection for diagnostic purposes, since diseases can be detected on the etheric level even before they manifest themselves on the physical plane.

Dr. Gerber comes to the conclusion that early diagnosis of diseases at the etheric level will allow appropriate measures to be taken in a timely manner and prevent the development of physical pathology. A detailed description of the methodology for using equipment created to observe the physical-ether interaction creates the prerequisites for the transition to the practical use of the concept of physical-ether interaction. This forces most traditionalist skeptics to pay attention to the facts indicating the existence of such an interaction.

The Tiller-Einstein model, which is described in this book, describes etheric energies as magnetoelectric energies belonging to negative space-time and capable of propagating at superluminal speeds. The adoption of this concept allows us to understand in general the nature of physical-ethereal interactions between matter and energy, as well as the complexity of the problem of measuring the quantitative characteristics of these ethereal (magnetoelectric) fields. They cannot be detected by conventional instruments that measure electromagnetic parameters inherent in the phenomena of positive space-time. This book is very useful for those wishing to become familiar with the latest research in this area. It tells about the attempts of scientists to determine the parameters of etheric magnetoelectric energies using biological systems - such as enzyme functions, the influence of healers on the processes of crystallization of water and shifts in the angles of hydrogen-oxygen axial bonds in its molecules. This book consistently, convincingly and carefully prepares the reader for the conclusion that the human body is a combination of interacting multidimensional systems of subtle energy. Imbalance of these energy systems can lead to pathological changes that manifest themselves on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes of existence. The book describes how these disorders can be healed by restoring the balance of subtle energy structures. Correction of frequency parameters is carried out using vibration medicine. Dr. Gerber provides ample evidence for the assertion that the frequency of energetic vibrations of a weakened or unbalanced human body is different from that which is characteristic of it in a state of harmony. A deviation of the vibration frequency from the norm suggests the presence of an energy imbalance. If a person cannot independently restore the normal energy balance and return to a harmonious frequency, then he needs energy replenishment with specially selected frequency parameters. This is exactly what vibrational medicine does.

The book contains excellent review different views on vibrational medicine. What is especially valuable is how Dr. Gerber relates them to his generalizing model. As a result, we have a very useful summary work on vibration medicine, which is understandable to both medical professionals and people simply interested in their health. The transition from a materialistic, mechanistic - Newtonian worldview to an Einsteinian quantum mechanical one will change the entire face of medicine, as well as the ideas of the people involved in it. We will return again to the holistic worldview that people have had for thousands of years. It allowed the healer to see human health from a holistic perspective, as part of common system relationships in the Universe. Moreover, a true healer himself is an example of a harmonious whole. I saw such healers in India, working according to the Ayurveda system. I have heard about their existence among Taoists, Indian healers and the Tibetan Hunza people. In Western culture, similar medical methods were used by the Essenes more than two thousand years ago. The most prominent healers among them were John the Baptist, the Apostle John and, of course, Jesus. Their traditions were revived in the 15th century thanks to Constantine Africanus, who studied the Essene texts at the monastery of Monte Cassino and then taught them at the medical school in Salerno (Italy). Currently, there are healers who continue the tradition of harmonious holistic healing. Their commitment to love and health cannot be destroyed by any medical system or political power. This book gives such healers new encouragement.

It is important to understand that the healing that these people practice is based on their own harmony and love. This holism does not rely on modern diagnostic equipment or one or two progressive approaches. It is an approach focused on healing a person on all planes of his existence - from the physical and etheric to much higher energetic ones. It is this multi-level energetic approach that is most effective in healing the patient. One would expect from such a healer real help rather than from numerous disparate alternative therapeutic methods.

This book can be seen as part of an emerging and growing medical consensus about which Dr. Gerber says: "A system of medicine that denies or ignores the existence of the spirit will be incomplete because it leaves out of research the most fundamental quality of human existence - spiritual dimension." He points out the fact (I discuss this in some detail in my book Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet) that “the tissues that form physical forms in aphids support their existence not only with the help of oxygen, glucose and other chemicals, but” and with the help of high-frequency energies that give vitality to the physical form and enable creative self-expression." Health is the overall balance of our subtle energy systems, our physical body and natural forces. Being in a state of harmony, a person absorbs energy from many levels. Healers say that such people should approach the methods of vibrational medicine with caution. If the body is in a state of harmony (that is, the energy flows in it are balanced), then the use of the vibrational methods described in this book, even such as megavitamin treatment (doses of vitamins many times higher than the daily dose). need) can potentially upset the energy balance.

Although vibrational medicine is an undeniable step forward, our health does not primarily depend on the doctor, healer or priest. First of all, it is determined by the integrity and harmony of our life in all its spheres. As we learn to live a whole life, constantly remaining harmonious at all its levels - in creative work, family, society, as well as in relation to the ecology of the planet - it will go into us ourselves continuous process self-healing of body functions, maintaining harmony of energy processes and regeneration of damaged structures. We will study what Dr. Gerber, with his usual sense of humor, calls "A User's Guide to Operating Your Mentality." The importance of this book lies in the fact that it sets a new scientific paradigm that convincingly substantiates what healers have already known for thousands of years. The book articulates this understanding in scientific terms that allow us to make a smooth transition from the fragmented Newtonian understanding of health to the inextricable integrity of a worldview built on Einsteinian quantum mechanics. For anyone who is interested in vibrational medicine and feels the need to study the door before entering it, this book is an absolute must.

May we experience health, love and harmony at all levels of our existence!

A thank you letter is considered a type of business document. It is drawn up at the favorable end of an enterprise, event, interaction, and so on. Also, a letter of gratitude can be sent before any special event. In the first case, it will be of an initiative nature, and in the second, it will serve as a response to an invitation or congratulations. Let's look further at how to compose the text of a thank you letter.

In what cases is such paper needed?

The reasons for drawing up this document may vary. So, for example, they often write a thank you letter kindergarten. This could be on the occasion of the team’s participation in some cultural event, competition, competition. It is not uncommon to write a thank you letter to the teacher. The time a child spends at school is of particular importance to him. Of course, many parents strive to express their gratitude to teachers.

As a rule, the paper is compiled to graduation party, in the last year of school. At the same time, the teaching staff can write a letter of gratitude to the parent for his active participation in the life of the class or school. In business circles it is also customary to send such documents. This is considered a sign of good manners, a sign of respect for partners. The head of one enterprise can send a letter of gratitude for cooperation to the director of another organization. In addition, it is customary for companies to notice achievements and Good work specialists. In such cases, the manager can write a letter of gratitude to the employee, noting and encouraging his work.

Content Features

How to write a thank you letter correctly? First of all, pathos should be avoided. When writing a letter, there is no need to be hypocritical or exaggerate the actions of the addressee. It is also advisable not to use empty and loud phrases. The greatest value in this case will be sincerity and simplicity of presentation. For example, if a letter is being written to a teacher, then it should be noted that his activities left a good memory of him as a person; we can also say that he contributed to the formation of the students’ personality.

The teacher will also be pleased to read about specific instructions that helped him make an important decision at the right time. The letter should be thanked for the knowledge that the teacher gave, for his reverent attitude towards the students. At the same time, when expressing your thoughts, you should avoid arrogance - it will give a negative reaction. In the letter, it is important to make it clear to the teacher that only warm feelings and respect remain for him.

Important point

It should be remembered that a thank you letter is always welcome. Not many people find the time to note the activities of this or that person or enterprise in this form. For example, an employee of an organization will be very pleased to receive a letter of gratitude for his contribution to the development of the company. This will indicate that the specialist’s activities did not go unnoticed and actually contributed to the achievement of some important results. In general, a thank you letter is not that long and voluminous in content. But even a few lines will give the addressee strength and make him happy.

Thank you letter: sample

Usually the presentation is carried out in any form. But at the same time it is worth remembering that this business document. In this regard, certain standards should be observed when drawing up. The company may have its own form for such documents. For example, if the management of a preschool educational institution or school decided to send a letter of gratitude to the family of the pupil. In such cases, the form contains the details of the organization. The structure of the document should be:

• A cap. It should indicate the addressee. This can be an enterprise or a specific person to whom, in fact, gratitude is expressed. However, this item is considered optional.
• Appeal.
• Content. The essence of the letter should be reflected here.
• Information about the compiler.

Let's consider these points in more detail.

Appeal

Enterprises traditionally use the wording “Dear...”. Such treatment indicates a respectful attitude towards the addressee. When composing a letter, it is not recommended to use the phrases “Dear” or “Madam (Mr.)”. If, for example, an employee is being encouraged, then such an appeal will look somewhat awkward and even insincere.

In the end, such wording does not correspond to the norms of official business style accepted today. First name and patronymic after the address “Dear” will be appropriate for personal gratitude. If the document is addressed to the team of the enterprise, then the phrase “Dear colleagues” is more suitable here. Further in the content it will be possible to clarify which team the appeal is addressed to. If the letter is sent to another company, it is addressed to the manager. The content expresses gratitude to the entire company or a specific team.

Information about the compiler

It is more advisable to indicate who exactly expresses gratitude after the appeal. The initiator can be both the management of the enterprise and a structural unit. For example:

• "LLC (name) thanks...".
• "Management of the company (name)...".
• “Accounting of the company (name...”, etc.

In this case, it should be taken into account that on behalf of the enterprise they usually thank another organization as a whole for providing any opportunity, supplying a product or providing a service. If the document is sent to the team or an employee of your own company, then you need to state the essence on behalf of the management:

• "We sincerely thank..."
• "We are grateful..."
• “On behalf of the entire enterprise I would like to express my gratitude...”

The following phrase will look very solemn and unconventional:

“As the director of the company, I would like to express my gratitude with all my heart...”

This option is used in exceptional cases. For example, if you should note a contribution that had great importance for the enterprise.

Destination

You can thank one person, a team, a department, or an enterprise. Individual appreciation sets an employee apart from the entire staff. This is how management notes his professionalism, skills, abilities, and achievements for the benefit of the organization:

• "Thank you…".
• “On behalf of the entire company I would like to express my gratitude to you...”

If the letter is addressed to the manager with gratitude to the entire enterprise for services provided, goods supplied, and so on, then the content needs to clarify to whom exactly it is expressed:

• “Company (name) expresses gratitude to your organization...”
• “We sincerely want to thank the team of your company...”

If a manager addresses the team of his company, it would not be superfluous to list the employees:

“Dear colleagues! I, as a director, am sincerely grateful to the team of the accounting department of our enterprise, namely...”

If in structural unit there are many employees, it is not worth listing their names. Here it is better to contact the head of the department:

"Dear colleagues! I, as a director, express my deep gratitude to the accounting department under the leadership of...".

What are they expressing gratitude for?

Always thank you for something. The message should not express gratitude “for everything.” In this case there is nothing specific; it will be somewhat unclear to the addressee. A person should know what exactly he is grateful for. You can be grateful for various things. For example, if an appeal is sent to an employee, then one can note his professionalism, vigilance, and perseverance shown in some situations:

“We express our gratitude for your creative work, dedication to the enterprise for 20 years, loyalty in work, and also want to note your high professionalism, dedication, leadership qualities, which contributed to the achievement of significant successes and allowed the enterprise to occupy leading place in the market among competitors."

Business partners can be expressed gratitude for timely support, provision of equipment, services, and so on:

"OJSC (name) sincerely thanks LLC (name) for the opportunity to participate in the exhibition dedicated to...”.

Finally

It would not be superfluous to detail in the letter what specifically turned out well. It is this moment that gives individuality to the entire appeal. You should also remember that a thank you letter conveys positivity. Therefore, it is advisable to look into the future when addressing:

"We wish your enterprise prosperity."

Before the traditional conclusion, one should also express hope for continued cooperation. At the end of the address they usually write: “With respect (position, full name).”

Life often presents us with unpleasant surprises. When your strength is running low, when you don’t know how to cope with the situation, when it seems that everything is against you, human support and participation are priceless. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for not passing by, for finding the right words, for showing attention and sympathy. Let the good you do come back with interest.

Basic words of gratitude in English and answer options

To express gratitude to English language You can get by with the words “Thank you”. But what to do if you need to not just thank, but thank you very much, thank you from the bottom of your heart? How to respond to words of gratitude? How to thank for something specific? Read about all this below.

How to express gratitude in English in everyday speech

Let's take a closer look at how to thank in English, respond to gratitude and thank for something specific.

1. Words of gratitude in English

In the most common everyday situations, the following phrases are used to express gratitude in English:

• Thank you\Thanks. - Thank you.

Between thank you And thanks there is no difference. Both are “thank you” or “thank you.” The only nuance is that for a formal situation thanks less suitable than thank you.

• Thank you very much. - Thanks a lot.
• Thanks a lot. – Thank you very much.
• Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.

These three options are also practically no different from each other. These are all different variations of “Thank you very much” and are suitable for both informal and formal situations. I note that in the USA they often like to add the phrase “I appreciate it” after words of gratitude. For example:

– Thanks, I appreciate it.

– Thanks a lot for you help, I appreciate it.

This phrase can be said with or without reason. You can hear it from a friend who was helped lift a piano to the 8th floor, and from a stranger who had the door held in an elevator. It's just a way to increase gratitude a little.

• Cheers. - Thank you (informal)

Word cheers used as a “thank you” in informal situations. It is inappropriate in business correspondence or formal conversation.

– Here’s that book you wanted to borrow. - Here is the book you wanted to borrow from me.

– Oh, cheers! - Oh thanks!

• You saved my life. - You saved me.
• I owe you one \ I owe you big time. - I owe you.

You saved my life- this is not in the literal sense “You saved my life,” but an analogue of our “Thank you for helping out!” or “You saved me!”, that is, gratitude for some kind of help. I owe you one or I owe you big time- the equivalent of our “I am in your debt!”

• You shoudn’t (have) – It wasn’t worth it.

“Thanks, it wasn’t worth it!” This is what they say, for example, after receiving a gift. This means that it was not worth giving something so valuable. You shouldn’t (have) – this, like “shouldn’t,” is an incomplete phrase. The full version might sound like this: You shouldn’t have done it! – You shouldn’t have done this! You shouldn't have presented this to me! – You shouldn’t have given this to me!

Oh, what lovely flowers. You shouldn't have! - Oh, what beautiful flowers! Not worth it!

2. How do you say “You’re welcome” in English? (how to respond to words of gratitude)

The easiest way to respond to gratitude is in a universal, error-free way:

• You're welcome. - Please.

This answer applies to any situation. There are other variations:

• Welcome. - Please.
• Always welcome. - You're welcome.

Like “You’re welcome”, they are appropriate almost everywhere.

I will name a few more possible answers:

• That's all right. - It’s not worth it.
• Don't mention it. - My pleasure.
• Not at all. - My pleasure.
• It's nothing. – You’re welcome / It’s nothing.
• No problem. - No problem.

All the options mean something like “You’re welcome” or “No thanks needed.” Option no problem can be called informal, appropriate in a friendly conversation.

3. How to say thank you in English for something specific

Often you need not just to say “Thank you,” but to thank you for something specific. There are two main ways to do this:

• Thank you for + (often with your).
• Thank you for + with -ing.

We choose an option depending on whether the reason for gratitude can be expressed with a noun or a verb. Here are typical examples with nouns:

• Thanks for your help! - Thank you for your help!
• Thank you for your support. - Thanks for your support.
• Thank you for your assistance. - Thank you for your help.
• Thank you for your understanding. - Thanks for understanding.
• Thank you for the information. - Thanks for the info.

And some examples with verbs:

• Thank you for visiting us. - Thank you for visiting us.
• Thanks for helping me. - Thank you for helping.
• Thank you for shopping. - Thank you for your purchase.

Formal ways of expressing gratitude in English

There are quite a few formal, polite ways to say thank you in English. In speech they are used at celebrations, official events, ceremonies, but for the most part formal thanks are needed for writing, especially for .

In many cases, the usual “Thank you for + reason” will do. Here, for example, are typical phrases of gratitude from business correspondence:

• Thank you for contacting us. – Thank you for contacting us.
• Thank you for your (kind) cooperation. – Thank you for your cooperation.
• Thank you for your attention to this matter. – Thank you for your attention to this issue.
• Thank you for your prompt reply. - Thanks for the quick response.

But there are other ways to express gratitude. They are all clichés, templates for different occasions.

• Many thanks for your email. – Thank you very much (very grateful) for your letter.
• I am very grateful to you. – I am very grateful to you.
• I am eternally grateful for your trust. – I am eternally grateful to you for your trust.
• I’d like to express my sincere gratitude for... - I would like to express my sincere gratitude for...
• I am very much obliged to you. – I am very grateful to you.
• I greatly appreciate your kind words. – I really appreciate your kind words.
• I am very grateful for your kind help. – I am very grateful to you for your help.
