Safety and Comfort Before You Fly

Making it to the airport for a departure time in the middle of the afternoon is fairly easy, especially for those lucky enough to live in the vicinity of a major airport. But what if your flight is early in the morning? Getting to check-in 2 hours before takeoff usually means a very early start, which fuels fears that you might not wake up in time and almost guarantees that you will be driving tired to your flight and starting your holiday on the wrong foot.

UK government driving safety sites like www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk warn that tiredness, along with drink-driving and answering a mobile behind the wheel, is responsible for numerous accidents across the country every year. Add rushing to tiredness and you have a recipe for possible holiday disaster.

An alternative ensuring you dont have to go through this rigmarole is a stay an airport hotel the night before flying. An overnight stay at an airport hotel will guarantee you avoid all the usual rushing around. Now it is also possible to include cut-price airport parking in an accommodation package, something most flyers would have to pay for anyway.

Visit airport-hotel-discounts for a broad range of different accommodation options in and around many of the UKs major airports, including at Heathrow. Long-stay airport parking can be optionally included in the package. To get a quick quote online, simply enter the necessary details of your travel itinerary including the point of departure and the date you wish to find a hotel.

Within the vicinity of Heathrow, there are more than 20 different options available starting at low prices. The airport parking option usually means choosing from a one or two-week stay for your vehicle. In most cases, you can check-in to your airport hotel after 14:00 the day before you fly, meaning you will have a whole afternoon and evening to relax and enjoy the facilities.

At the four-star Heathrow Hilton, for instance, take advantage of the swimming pool and leisure centre before heading to one of the restaurants on-site prior to a good nights sleep knowing that everything is ready for your holiday. In fact, your holiday will have already begun before you even receive the hotel wake-up call. Your car will already be securely parked waiting for your return, allowing you to walk to the terminal for your flight.

If you decide you dont need a bed for the night, it is still possible to arrange airport parking over the internet at discounted rates. Go to save-on-parking and you can save up to 30 per cent on parking rates at Heathrow compared to what you would be charged upon arrival.

One of the most convenient airport parking services out there is the meet and greet service in which a representative of the parking company will collect your vehicle as you arrive at Departures, take it to a space and then return it to you on cue when you touch down again.

By confirming the details of your trip online, you can pay for your airport parking by credit card rather than rummaging around for the correct change when you get to the terminal, meaning youll have another little detail of your trip prearranged before you even leave home.

Andy Burrows used Heathrow Airport many times and he loves to stay overnight in a Heathrow Airport Hotel as he likes to arrive at the airport as fit as possible, he highly recommends: ://www.airport-hotel-discounts.co.uk/heathrow_hotels.htm and http://www.save-on-parking.co.uk/

Learning to Access SILENCE

To access deep wisdom you need to learn the art of silence. When you are quiet and listening within to your own heart song, your rhythm, and the centeredness of your being, thats when you have great access to wisdom, ability and the expanded consciousness. Silence is where you learn that you are an extraordinary being, with unlimited capacity, and that secrets are revealed to you. In moments when you become quiet a wonderful world opens to you. Or shall I say is revealed to you. It is in this space that you recognize the quiet center of your soul that rests in continual peace.

We connect with the divine part of ourselves in the silence. To allow yourself to simply be is the greatest act of respect. This is another lesson that we delve from the silence. From the simple to the extraordinary we encompass all of it. We are capable of the quiet interaction to the great displays of courage, grace, magic, and laughter, to the full blown wildest imagination. As you spend more time in periods of silence, you find that you are renewed, energized, have great ideas, connect with solutions, can propel yourself forward, or can shift from an inflexible position to one of fluidity as swiftly and easily as you need.

You easily recognize what feels peaceful and what or who does not. It becomes a simple thing when you can make an adjustment in your life so that you can retain your peace. The quietude of your mind, and heart is an extraordinary peaceful encounter. When your mind is running with fury and it pulls you in many directions, it is hard to find the balance without the quiet. We need to actively pursue the stillness. We need to quiet our minds, and unburden ourselves of all the mind junk. It does take much practice but everything worthwhile does take practice. The mind is fast and furious. The mind is vengeful and full of its desires and pressures. You must choose the quietude to know your peaceful nature. Silence is the pathway to your higher consciousness and understanding and ability.
