| When people chase money, money runs away from them. Money must be attracted. If it is not in your karma, you have to attract it by using techniques we teach in our seminars. These techniques were kept secret till now. All wealthy people attract money. Money is an energy tonic, it increases what you already have.If a person is happy, money will increase his/her happiness. Money is a spiritual energy. The amount of wealth that you have is equal to how much value you have provided to world, how much you care about the world. Earning money from doing positive karma business brings a lot of happiness. A person's negative beliefs limit him from earning more money and sometimes, from being happy with the amount of money he has. | |||
| Why do people have relationship problems? Why are they unable to find love? | |||
| It is seen that people who have failed in relationships or who have been divorced, are divorced again the maximum number of times in new relationships. This means that even when they know they do not want the same kind of partner as before, they still attract the same type of person and therefore, get divorced again. Or else, continue in an unhappy marriage due to the social stigma attached to a divorce in India.his is pure karma of suffering and sacrificing in life. The person suffering thus must work upon and remove his/her negative beliefs like, "It is difficult to trust and love a man/woman" , "I hate men/women". You can learn from us the spiritual technique of manifesting the most compatible and best soulmate because since we may have more than one soulmate, we must find the most compatible of them all. It is said that 85 per cent of compatibility is spiritual compatibility – which is having similar beliefs and values – otherwise, relationships develop problems and break in the end. | |||
| Why do people have health problems? | |||
| All health problems are caused by emotional pain. Even accidents happen to those who are rebellious, angry and frustrated, or who have a habit of doing many things in very less time. People who are critical and judgmental soon develop stomach problems and joint aches. People who lack the support of loved ones, like spouse, mother and father, or have emotional burdens like guilty love, develop spine problems. People who develop cancer, have hidden feelings of hate and feelings of lack of support in their life. People with heart problems have known betrayal, lack of love and lack of joy as their karmic causes. | |||
| Can the technique that you teach remove Black magic ,evil eye,curses from us and our homes etc ? | |||
| Yes of course ,there is no power greater than God's unconditional love ,All black magic ,evil eye ,psychic curses and hooks are negative thought form & can be changed .Most of the times these energies come to you because of your own subconscious guilt from this life ,past life or your parent's DNA inside you ,which is genetic curse.Removing such negative energies from body ,loved ones ,house and office brings abundance in life and lots of positive energy and blessings. | |||
| Can we attain Moksha /enlightenment from this technique ? | |||
| Enlightenment is a state of Pure Bliss.You can be in that state of joy when you practice the teachings we teach you in our courses,not only that but your family will also experience pure happiness and joy moving towards next level of evolvement because your DNA is linked to them. | |||

The Victoria Cool Aid Society, also known as "Cool Aid" is a charitable organization that provides shelter and other services to disadvantaged and homeless youth and adults. It was founded in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in 1968 as an emergency hostel for transient youth.
History
During April and May 1968, members of the Victoria Youth Council had researched, analyzed and discussed the extent and quality of helping facilities available to youth in the Greater Victoria area. For housing, the picture was “dismal” with the Salvation Army housing only men, and the YMCA housing women but charging $2.50 - $3.50 per night. For counseling, the outlook was even worse. Thus was born the idea of a hostel and an emergency-oriented, crisis intervention service, run by youth. Having obtained permission from a Vancouver group to use the name “Cool Aid,” the group obtained a phone number – 250-383-1951 that is still the number for Cool Aid’s main shelter today.
In May 1970, the Pacific Self-Development Society Board of Directors “passed the hat” at a meeting, and came up with a $1,000 deposit on the purchase of the former Emmanuel Baptist Church on Fernwood Road.
On August 18, 1970, the Cool Aid Free Medical Clinic opened its doors. The former church on Fernwood Road was converted for Cool Aid use with the Cool Aid Youth Hostel opening on July 29, 1971. The site included the medical clinic to bring services under one roof.
On October 28, 1976, Cool Aid was incorporated as the Victoria Cool Aid Society. The group had come of age and was no longer a group of youth with no credentials or financial savvy. It was now run by an adult board of directors and could thus access more sources of funding. On May 3, 1972, the "Fernwood Dental Clinic" began operation, adding to services for clients. By August 1988, it was obvious that the Fernwood Road facility was too small, and was unsuitable for the additional service that were required. The open dormitories were not popular with clients and could lead to one person with nightmares or hallucinations keeping the whole dormitory awake at night. As well, there was a desire to provide low cost housing on a permanent basis, not possible at the small site.
Purpose-built shelter and housing
On December 15, 1989 Social Services Minister Peter Dueck announced that a former meat-packing plant on Store Street would be the new home of Streetlink and other Cool Aid services. It would have 55 emergency shelter beds in two- and three-bed rooms, instead of the warehouse-style dormitories in the current shelter. The medical clinic on the main floor and large interior street prevented the indignity of clients having to line up on the street for food and beds. On the top two floors were 25 one-bedroom apartments, available for people ready for independent living, with the units to rent for 30% of a tenant’s income, that the tenants soon named “Swift House.” The Streetlink Building was a benchmark in Cool Aid’s evolution as it was a purpose-built shelter. From there Cool Aid moved from one housing project to another as they were able to tap into an increase in alternative funding.
Cool Aid’s Housing Program is specifically designed for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Greater Victoria. It demonstrates the success of how a supported, independent living, social housing, not-for-profit model can provide a very cost-effective solution to the crisis of homelessness in Canada. It began with Swift House and now includes the Pandora Apartments, Mike Gidora Place, Johnson Manor, FairWay Woods, Desmond House, Cedar Grove, Hillside Terrace, Olympic Vista and Queens Manor. In December 2004, Cool Aid first participated in the Cold, Wet Weather Strategy with other agencies to increase shelter capacity from September to April. This has now evolved to the Extreme Weather Protocol, a community response program involving shelter providers, faith groups, social service agencies, fire and police, working together to increase the number of emergency shelter beds available during acute winter weather conditions of heavy wind, heavy rain, snow and temperatures of zero or below. When extreme weather conditions are predicted and year-round shelter beds are full, participating organizations implement the Extreme Weather Protocol by opening up additional shelters and moving to overflow beds. Shelter capacity expands from 245 to 370 emergency beds and mats, including 30 mats for youth from October 15 to April 15 and 40 mats for adults from November 1 to March 31.
In 2010, the new Rock Bay Landing, a purpose-built facility, replaced the old Streetlink emergency shelter. Rock Bay offers 84 permanent shelter spaces, 23 units of transitional housing, and two units of family shelter.
Other programs
Women’s Services
Health and Dental programs
Medical and dental services begun in the early days of Cool Aid continue to be offered in the Access Health Centre, the re-purposed Mable Carriage Factory building at 713 Johnson Street. Opened in 2009, the award-winning renovation brings health care under one roof with other social services, offering care for those who do not have medical coverage or live in the downtown core with mental health and addiction illnesses or other chronic health problems. A multitude of health services is available for the whole person without having to visit elsewhere for specialized attention.
Employment programs
Today, the Casual Labour Pool, now part of the REES (Resources, Education, Employment and Support) suite of programs, continues to help workers find job placements.
Downtown Community Centre
The Centre is part of the Pandora project and offers free and low-cost community activities and facility rentals that focus on healthy living, health promotion and social diversity. The facility includes a mid-sized gymnasium, a non-commercial kitchen and computer access.
