What they built from desire.
We cannot copy what they
Accomplished through faith.
We have walked upon the moon,
The cost the heart of the Earth.
They built their lives
Into the walls.
We fling ours to the stars.

This is a 'mini meditation' which you can use on it's own during the day, or as a way to lead you into a meditation as you start.
The BIG SIGH can take you easliy into the 'breathless state', because of the natural pause at the end of the exhalation. Give it a try! :)
1. Close your eyes, and notice how you’re breathing.
2. Take a HUGE breath in through your nose, completely filling your lungs. (4 – 6 seconds)
3. Release the breath through your mouth with no control, allowing any natural sound to be expressed. (1 -2 seconds)
4. Sink into the space of ‘no breath’ at the end of the out-breath, savouring the quietness that is there before the in-breath naturally returns.
5. Notice the difference in your breathing now – it is likely to be slower/deeper/ more relaxed. Is there a shift in how you feel – perhaps calmer/more focused or relaxed?
You can use ‘the big sigh’ to shift your emotional/mental state. To do this you need a clear intention, for instance “I let go of my anger/frustration/tension/tiredness now. I refocus.”
I have always found it useful to say an affirmation like this out loud, but you could say it silently as well – the key is to consciously use the sigh to achieve the state of mind you wish to return to.
The quiet space of ‘no breath’ at the end of the sigh can be a sublimely peaceful experience if you sink into it. It stills your busy mind – and doing that even for a few seconds is hugely worthwhile!
E2 Visa Green Card
Document Sample
scope of work template
E-2 VISA: Significant investment required (e.g., $200,000
plus), extended every 5 years, allows foreign national to remain in the
United States on an open-ended basis (without a green Card) subject
to the work limitations with the Visa. Although there is no employee
hiring requirement, a total lack of employees may be evidence that
the business is marginal. If the E-2 employee is a manager (rather
than an investor), managing other employees may be expected as
part of their job duties.
This type of Visa will be particularly valuable for foreign
nationals who wish to visit the United States for up to 122 days per
year (less than 183 days in any one year), and who do not require a
Green Card (in order to avoid U.S. income taxation on their world-
wide income). The E-2 Visa is particularly suited for international
investors who would like a second home in the U.S.
Treaty Investor (E2 Visa)
Section 101(a)(15)(E) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act
provides for visa status for nationals of countries that maintain an
appropriate treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States
or that is considered to be a treaty country under US law. The
applicant must be coming to the United States to carry on substantial
trade or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which
the national has invested, or is actively in the process of investing, a
substantial amount of capital.
Treaty Trader and Investor visas are nonimmigrant
categories. They do not confer permanent residency in the US
nor do they lead to US citizenship, although they permit the
applicant and qualified family members to live in the US for an
extended period. For permanent residency in the United
States, there is a separate program based on investment.
To qualify as Treaty Investor (E-2):
 The investor (either a real or corporate person) must be a
national of a treaty country.
 The investment must be substantial. It must be
sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the
enterprise. The percentage of investment for a low-cost
enterprise must be higher than the percentage of investment
in a high-cost enterprise.
 The investment must be a real operating enterprise.
Speculative or idle investment does not qualify.
 The investment must not be marginal. It must generate
significantly more income than needed to provide a living to
the investor and family, or it must have a significant
economic impact in the United States.
 The investor must have control of the funds, and the
investment must be at risk in the commercial sense. For
the purpose of measuring the investment, loans secured
with the assets of the investment enterprise are not counted.
 The investor must be coming to the US to develop and direct
the enterprise. If applicants are not the principal
investors, they must be employed as a supervisor,
executive, or as the possessor of highly specialized skills.
What is a substantial amount of capital? There is no fixed
amount which is considered "substantial." A substantial amount
of capital constitutes that amount which is ample to ensure the
investor's financial commitment to the successful operation of
the enterprise as measured by the proportionality test.
The proportionality test compares the total amount invested in
the enterprise with the cost of establishing a viable enterprise
of the nature contemplated or the amount of capital needed to
purchase an existing enterprise.
Such comparison constitutes the percentage of the treaty
applicant's investment in the enterprise. That percentage must
compare favorable in the fashion of an inverted sliding scale
starting with a high percentage of investment for a lower cost
enterprise. The percentage of investment decreases at a
