    When we think of our overall well being and health, there is one area that a lot of us neglect. We neglect our posture and this should be our top priority. When we were children, we probably had perfect posture because we were more fluid and moved a great more than we now do. Most of us tend to sit at our computers, either at work or at home, much longer than we should. Basic posture requires that we have our spine and our abdominal muscles are equally strong for the best possible alignment. Posture, whether good or bad, will have a major effect on your body and your mood.  People who have…

  • Soy Protein Supplements Do Not Reduce Plaque in Arteries of Postmenopausal Women

    10 Jan 2012 | 12:40 pm
    Soy protein supplements containing isoflavones do not significantly reduce the progression of atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in the arteries) in postmenopausal women, according to a recent study published in the journal Stroke. However, a subgroup analysis of this study showed that soy supplements may benefit women who had experienced menopause within the last 5 years.

    13 Dec 2011 | 9:01 am
    The need for careful research on complementary and alternative health practices remains compelling. Tens of millions of Americans are spending $34 billion per year (mostly out-of-pocket) on a variety of complementary approaches, most often without any solid evidence about safety or usefulness. The opportunities to make real differences in some very challenging health issues are equally compelling. After a decade of mainly exploratory research across a broad array of interventions, practices, products, and disciplines, emerging scientific evidence points toward the need for more targeted…

    A recent article published in The New York Times written by William J. Broad has shone some unfavorable light onto the practice of yoga. Thank you to Daniel Strack, a Facebook Fan, who first alerted me to this article. In the article How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body? yoga teacher Glenn Black warns about the potential damaging effects of doing yoga. Black noted that Americanized yoga classes tend to be more ego-driven than aligned with spiritual practice. Teachers and students are at risk of injury when they try to force their bodies into ranges of motion that are harmful to muscles and skeletal…

  • Energy Healing Speeds Up Your Personal Growth

    Dean Ramsden
    3 Jan 2012 | 7:42 pm
    There are many ways to improve our lives, or to heal from events in our past. For hundreds of years people turned towards religion to give meaning to the events of life, and to find support for the challenges we face in adult life. When traditional religion was not enough we turned to the Shaman or wise person, and sought help from those with more experience of the spiritual world than ourselves. More recently, people have turned towards psychotherapy or hypnotherapy, as secular alternatives, in the hope that by understanding and talking about our personal challenges we will overcome them.

  • The Lower Astral

    12 Dec 2011 | 1:25 am
    There are Astral forces at play in the manifest world that are almost invisible to the eye of the modern person. What hides from us is the role the Lower Astral spirit world has upon human activity, and personal development. Despite the desire of most humans to live a good and comfortable life there exist various forces in our world that thrive on destruction and the abuse or sacrifice innocent life force. Follow this link to an article on the Lower Astral energies that healers (and Shamans) have to come to terms with, in their quest as energetic practitioners.   Coming soon:…

    25 Jun 2011 | 8:31 am
    Energy healing is the application of bio-energy (known as prana, or Qi) to balance or enhance our physical and emotional well-being. Chinese energy healing methods include acupuncture (balancing Qi, using needles on acupuncture points) as one example. But in the West energy healing is more often experienced in the presence of any charismatic helping professional. A good physician, nurse, or psychotherapist unknowingly exudes healing energy. We naturally feel safer in their care than with others who don’t have this quality. We all recognize natural healers and helpers, and we gravitate…

    After a very busy Week 4, Week 5 is just as exciting in the food garden. It is perfect for a whole range of activities. Moon planting conditions are ideal for composting and mulching; sowing and planting leaf crops, fruiting crops and flowering crops; harvesting for storage; and fertilizing. Remember that my garden is situated on the north-eastern side of Pretoria, so you may have to adjust some activities to suit your garden.

    The holidays are fine and all, but in recent years, I’ve liked New Year’s Day! This is the view to the left from the front door—the market garden is about a mile down that road. Our little stretch of winter-like weather is holding, but it’s supposed to warm up and rain a little later, so most of this snow will likely soon be gone. For now, a nice, white and wintry start to what I’m sure will be an interestin’ year all round. I’m up for it. Happy New Year!Nothing like New Year’s Day!

This whole decision of whether to build it now or wait till spring has been up in the air for a while. At least, with the 4×4 rough cut cedar beams that hold up the steel ribs positioned and the anchor posts set, it’ll be relatively easy to get the frame up and then skin it…whenever. Even on a warm day in February or March! Flexibility! Options! Or maybe just…putting it off. I do want to purchase new plastic—what’s on hand now is around five years old, gotten milky,…

Still, even after last season’s driving adventures, commuting to the farm is new, unusual and…bothersome, the way it limits the farm day.

So, before being rained out entirely three-quarters of the way through the job, it was slogging on 100′ round trips through boot-sucking muck, one forkload of hay at a time, to mulch garlic—not a big deal, there’s only a 100′ bed and a half to cover, but the EASIER plan was to use the tractor…

    For most of my motorcycle riding lifetime in the US, there have been mandatory helmet laws.

At least one good friend of mine was scathed for life after a drunk driver hit his motorcycle when he wasn’t wearing a helmet.

    How energy cords connect to the aura is the topic of my new article on John Edward’s Infinite Quest. From my experiences in reading auras, I’ve found that the auric body typically maintains a basic form, which resembles an egg like oval shape around the body. Emanating from this body is a beautiful white light along with a wide variety of colors, shapes and at times, swirls and patterns. While it is fairly easy to learn to see an aura, understanding what the colors and images surrounding the aura represent, requires intuition, practice and an understanding of the spiritual planes and…

    Remember back in mid-December when we talked about a study from Australia that criticized chiropractors in that country for offering what the study’s authors deemed unnecessary services? Well, the practice of offering services like x-rays is not just happening “somewhere else” and today I have an example that’s popped up in my own back yard. Bright and early this morning I got an offer from one of those big group shopping clubs for a chiropractic visit. For $39—nearly a 90% savings—I can get 30 minutes of massage and a computerized nerve scan. Sounds like a…

  • Essential Oils for the Winter Season

    Andrea Butje
    7 Jan 2012 | 3:09 am
    I know it is not really fair for me to write about the winter given that I live in Florida… but I’ll justify it because I lived in Ithaca, NY during the winters for many years! I know all about scraping car windows, black ice and freezing cold feet. I had a few blends I used in the winter that really got me through. So if moving to a tropical climate is not on your list for this winter, here are a few recipes to support your health through the cold months. Steam Now (for the moment you feel even a hint of a cold) Use a 5 ml bottle with an orifice reducer. Make a stock bottle…

  • Business Tips for 2012

    Seeing successful Aromatherapy businesses brings me great pleasure. I believe in the healing potential of essential oils and I love seeing businesses promoting all their varied uses -  house cleaning and skin care as well as emotional and physical well being. So for those of you out there growing your Aromatherapy businesses, I hope some of these tips are useful. Retail: what are your best selling products? Can you create an additional, similar product with a twist? For example, if your lip balm sells really well, can you add a lip gloss, 1 new flavor and a larger size? Remember to…

    Many people are seeking help with fertility issues from acupuncture and massage therapy. These two books are essential reading for practitioners working with clients concerning fertility, reproduction, and women’s reproductive health issues. Whenever anyone asks me for help with fertility, the first thing I do is refer them to these books. Both authors are experts in the fields of fertility awareness and women’s health. Both books are rich in detailed information regarding women’s menstruation cycles, fertility awareness, pregnancy, and women’s reproductive health and…

  • How to See Yourself

    Cindy Black
    28 Dec 2011 | 11:08 pm
    How to See Yourself As You Really Are By His Holiness the Dalai Lama, translated by Jeffrey Hopkins, PhD. I first read this book a few years ago, knowing that I would have to read it a few more times in order to really understand it. Just last week, I picked it up again. How to See Yourself gives very clear instructions for meditation. But even more, the Dalai Lama explains the many levels of Mind, where our thoughts come from, how our thoughts influence our perspective of ourselves and others, and how simple meditation practices can lead us to our own inner peace. From this platform of inner…

    Old lady at San Miguel Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, by Tomas Castelazo “What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?” “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

  • The Beauty of Limits

    5 Dec 2011 | 7:27 am
    Winter is upon us. All that we imagined, sprouted, nurtured, grew and harvested in the previous seasons now comes to an end. Plants and trees retreat to their roots. Wind, cold, snow and ice put a final and absolute end to all growth. Now it is time to rest. Imagine if our expansion never ended. What if Spring and youth were forever?  We would still be stuck in tenth grade and the garden would be full of weeds! Limits and endings give balance to expanding and achieving. The joy of creation and expansion can be felt when we finally expereince the finished product. We can dwell in a sense of…

    Siberian Tigers are majestic creatures.  The world's largest felines, they average about 11 feet (3+ meters) in length.  They are also endangered.  There used to be 8 tiger subspecies, but 3 became extinct during the 20th century and the remaining five are still continually threatened by poaching/hunting and habitat loss.Conservation programs are in place, including a State Council notice in China declaring the use of tiger bone for medicine illegal.  But the use of tiger bones for Chinese Medicine and poaching for tiger fur is lucrative enough -- a tiger can fetch up…

    Tiger
    20 Nov 2011 | 1:11 am
    James Arthur Ray was found guilty of 'Negligent Homicide' on the sweatlodge deaths of three of his "Spiritual Warrior" participants.  In October 2009, about 60 of Ray's followers crammed into a 415-square-foot hut heated with red-hot rocks. Ray, a charismatic guru, told his followers it would be a "rebirthing" but it instead turned into a fatal experience for three people.  According to prosecutors, one witness said, "20 people got sick. Overheated and throwing up."(http://abcnews.go.com/US/james-ray-found-guilty-negligent-homicide-arizona-sweat/story?id=13908037 Native…

    When asked “What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”, the Dalai Lama answered: “Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”“Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility...without this inner…

    Homeostasis is a magical word.  The coincidental presence of the word "home" within "home-ostasis" should already clue us in to its importance.  Homeostasis is vital for the health and healing of all living organisms, as well as to the health and healing of all ecological systems, including our planet, Earth.A term (milieu intérieur) defined by French Physiologist, Claude Bernard and later coined by American Physiologist, Walter Bradford Cannon, Homeostasis (from Greek hómoios meaning "similar" and stásis, meaning "standing still") can be simply defined as The…

    Reiki Awakening

  • Lighten Up

    8 Jan 2012 | 10:01 am
    My kids are regular kids. When your kids are energy-aware, though, play has an added dimension to it. There are more topics that end up incorporated into their role-play games. The perfect example is what we did yesterday. My kids have been developing a skit called Chakra Tony's Metaphysical Outlet. Yesterday we video recorded it and put it up on Youtube. The reason this is significant is mostly the reminder that we should never take ourselves too seriously. Yes, I'm passionate about Reiki and deeply spiritually connected to this powerful work. But it's also important to remember to have a…

  • Beyond the Mind

    22 Oct 2011 | 8:05 am
    Lately, I've been pondering the way people think about healing energy and try to define it. Students in my Energy Healing Certification Program are charged with defining Reiki in a paragraph, an "elevator speech" they could use to answer the inevitable stranger's query "What is Reiki?" They don't pass the program without being able to do this. And it isn't easy! Search on the Internet and you'll find a great variety of definitions, just for the word Reiki. But look for energy healing and you'll find thousands of techniques and methods, variations on methods, and practitioners saying that…

    On the phone today, during a coaching call with one of my students, I heard that there is someone on the big conference circuit who is teaching a workshop in "everyday shamanism." Sounds nice. She's up there with Doreen Virtue, Gregg Braden, and other bigwigs. Except that my student reported that this person is telling Reiki practitioners that Reiki energy is "lower level" and the symbols are "blocking higher forms of energy from getting through." Then she brings Reiki practitioners up to the stage so she can "remove their symbols" through a "deattunement" process and thus free them from…

    Tweet It’s January so you can still ride on the coattails of New Year’s Resolutions if yours dropped off. Even if you’re acing your goals, anytime is a good time to create a vision board to manifest the things you want to bring into your life. The year 2012 marks a serious turning point in my life. The role of being a lover/wife for 10 years is in the past.  So now who am I?  It’s a challenging yet beautiful process of self-discovery. That was the motivation for my vision board.

For each of us, 2011 represented a variety experiences and ways of being.  Some things we like about ourselves and our lifestyle, but typically there is something we want to improve upon.  So, we look to the next year as a fresh start, a time to bring in a new habit pattern and make it stick.  Sometimes it does but often it doesn’t.  Visit a gym the first week in January, then again in April.  You’ll find in January it’s packed but after a few months pass, invariably those New Year’s Resolutions about going to the gym fade away and life goes back to the way it…

And we know that if we spend just a few moments per day of paying attention to something that we are grateful for in our lives, it will improve our overall happiness and wellbeing.

In my recent work with coaching clients, I’ve discovered that almost everyone is in a period of awakening and transition. This is not only true with clients, but family and friends alike seem to be in a process of re-evaluating their lives – where they are now and where they want to go.  This motivation to look at ourselves and what we really want represents growth in new directions that lead to greater happiness and fulfillment.

    If you suffer pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia or gout, there are certain foods and food additives that can aggravate or cause muscle and joint pain. One way to prevent pain is to avoid the foods or chemical additives that can be the root cause of the problem. Although they may be some of your favorite foods, we all know that to relieve debilitating pain is a better option. Foods to avoid include tomatoes, peppers, white potatoes and eggplant. These foods contain a substance called solanine and when these foods are eaten they can produce severe pain in the joints and also the soft…

    I was sitting here wondering what to write and suddenly I felt that I have to write about mindset. I have just watched a John Assaraf video and I find John inspirational. I met him last year and if any of you have seen  “The Secret” he was the one who had the vision boards that he opened up a box 5 years later after creating them, to find that the picture on one board was the exact house he bought. John is very much into positive mindset and how to achieve all that you want. In the video I watched, he was talking about visualization. Now, what you have to do is visualize yourself…

  • Improve Your Posture

    Sue
    25 Dec 2011 | 7:46 pm
    When we think of our overall well being and health, there is one area that a lot of us neglect. We neglect our posture and this should be our top priority. When we were children, we probably had perfect posture because we were more fluid and moved a great more than we now do. Most of us tend to sit at our computers, either at work or at home, much longer than we should. Basic posture requires that we have our spine and our abdominal muscles are equally strong for the best possible alignment. Posture, whether good or bad, will have a major effect on your body and your mood.  People who have…

    Well – just finished a gym workout session and I may take a break over the Christmas festive season – but just because I will not work out at the gym it doesn’t mean I won’t do some form of exercising. My husband has actually given me a Wii for Christmas but I had to know about it. It is a bit difficult for some people to keep a secret. I am thinking ahead – I think I might use that for my exercise for the holiday period. It should be a lot of fun. I bet the kids will show me a thing or two. The problem that a lot of us face, over the holidays , is the amount of…

    Who is more generous and caring – Dogs or People? I have always known that dogs are smart but there is another characteristic that is deeply seeded in the canine soul – compassion. I know no other animal than a dog to jump to the rescue of his friends so selflessly and without thinking twice if their life is in danger. My dog  Skai regularly jumps to my rescue when I am swimming despite the fact that he much prefers a pasture to the ocean.   I have seen dogs grieving their best friends,  I have seen them protecting or saving  children and I have  also heard of stories where a dog…

    BACK TO BASICS SERIES – CHAPTER 1 Learn about weaning, feeding, supplements and natural approach to vaccination While one could think that puppies are born with a clean slate, the reality is that they often carry “a baggage full of problems” from previous generations.  These problems are not just genetic. It appears that puppies are also burdened by the imbalances and health issues  of their parents that were exposed to excessive vaccination, poor nutrition, stress and the use of immune-suppressive drugs such as anti-inflammatory and corticosteroids . I am saying this because many…

Why?

  • Preventing chronic headaches, the easy way

    Toffler
    23 Jan 2012 | 10:49 pm
    Headaches–we all get them and they are, well, a pain. Some peole are more prone to them and get them rather frequently, others get them only occasionally due to unusually high stress, dehydration, or other aggravators. In India’s traditional medicine, known as Ayurveda, almost all headaches are due to accumulation or aggravation of Vata. Even Pitta-type headaches are caused by Vata carrying Pitta to head, again making Vata responsible. While Vata is almost always the cause of the headache, in Ayurveda headaches can actually be classified into 5 types: Vataja Pittaja Kaphaja…

  • What is Ashwagandha and what is it used for?

    Toffler
    17 Jan 2012 | 12:20 am
    Ashwagandha is the Sanskrit name of Withania somnifera, also sometimes referred to as Indian Ginseng. If you’re familiar with ginseng, you’ll know that the ginseng is thought of as the youthful or longevity herb and is also used to strengthen Qi, thereby improving energy levels and removing weakness.  Again, as with ginseng, ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it adapts well to stress and transfers that property when consumed. Ashwagandha also contains 3 naturally occurring antioxidants. Besides being a natural Qi booster, strengthening and rejuvenating the body,…
