GIVING UP

VICTIMHOOD

Just a reminder—we are more than we seem to be. We are more creative, intelligent, intuitive, blessed, and magnificent than it sometimes appears.

We were created out of perfect Love and designed in the likeness of Infinite Intelligence—we are simply not lesser beings. At the very core we are love and this earth experience is the perfect place to realize it. In a world of contrast—love, hate; honesty, deceitfulness; fear, faith; abundance, lack; truth, lies, we can choose how we wish to be.

 

The Natural Beauty

in Winter

We have been provided with many wonders in nature. Look around and find one that appeals to you. Give it your blessing.

Try some of the following:

• Look up in the sky are there any clouds?

Ever notice how we don’t pay attention to something until it breaks?   Your heart is something that you may not think about - until it stops working the way it should.   Unless you feel your heart start to race or feel it pounding in your chest, you may not pay any attention to it.  Thanks to the observation of National Heart Month and Valentine’s Day in February, the heart may finally get the recognition it deserves - at least this month.  But your heart works for you every month, every day, and every minute.

The term Prakruti is a Sanskrit word that literally means, ‘nature,’ or ‘basic trait’. The combination of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha which is present in the individual at the time of conception is maintained throughout his lifetime. Different persons can have different combinations of Vata, Pitta and Kapha as their basic constitution or Prakruti. That is why two people react differently when exposed to a similar situation. Thus, according to Ayurveda everyone is unique and each one of them has a distinct body constitution, which is totally different from each other.

Natural Ways to Treat Depression

Depression has become one of the prevalent problems in the world today and is becoming a major killer as well. 15% of depressed people will commit suicide. Depressive disorders affect approximately 9.5% of the U.S. population age 18 and older.

Emergency or False Alarm?

       Have you ever felt so awful that you thought about seeking emergency treatment, or became worried that an unspeakably, serious event was about to occur?  Have you ever experienced an uncomfortable wheezing or tightness in your chest, been nauseous for no reason, had a headache that just wouldn’t quit, heard ringing in your ears, suffered frequent sore throats, unusual rashes, hives, or swelling?  Do you know what caused these symptoms? .

Are You Eating Healthy?

No one likes to be told what, when, or how to eat.  When I ask patients to fill out a food diary, which means writing down absolutely everything they put in their mouth for a week, my popularity rating goes down - albeit temporarily.  They often scowl, and ask what I mean by everything.  The reason for doing this is because I want to take a look at their regular intake of food, as well things that fall into a category that should actually be considered recreational substances.  This category includes things that even the most avid junk food eater wouldn’t consider a meal, yet they are often consumed on a daily basis.  After doing this, people are usually surprised at how little real food they eat.  Another question I ask is if they know why they are eating.  This may seem like an odd question, but it is actually very important.  Many people eat by the clock, not by the body saying it’s time. .

The Treasures of Adversity

    You and I have been witnessing one of the most challenging periods that our country and our world has known in our life time.  I’m sure this is nothing new to you.  We’ve been reading and hearing about the present financial crisis for quite some time now.  In the numerous times I’ve tuned into the news on radio or TV, I’ve been aware of the output of fear that underlies so many broadcasts.  And it’s natural to be emotionally triggered by the state of affairs, especially in the Metro Detroit area, which has been hit particularly hard.  Even if you’re not one of the ones who’s been laid off or lost a job, or has felt butterflies at bill time each month, we all know someone who has.  It would be all but impossible not to be affected by our economy right now, and to stay consistently positive in spite of what we are experiencing.

The Magic and Power of Belief     

    Napoleon Hill once said: “what the mind can conceive and believe, the body can achieve”. Personal experience has shown that this is not just an expression! The connection or link with thoughts in your mind to every single cell within your body is truly capable of producing miraculous effects. Consider for a moment, the placebo effect, which is a measurable improvement in one’s physical or emotional health that cannot be attributed to medical treatment because the patient only received a “sugar pill” or some other inert (innocuous) form of treatment. In other words, the patients get better, even though the treatment does absolutely nothing! On average, the placebo effect alone will cure or provide measurable relief in 30% to 40% of all patients being treated regardless of what type of problem is being treated.

We’ve all heard about diets that don’t work – so what’s different about one that does work?  The key is satisfaction.  Usually when someone is unable to stay on a diet successfully, it is because he or she is not feeling satisfied on all levels.  Either the person is not getting enough calories, or enough of the needed nutrients, or enough volume, or enough taste satisfaction, or even all of the above!  We are biologically programmed to need these desires fulfilled, and that’s a good thing, because that programming can guide us to what is healthy and right for us.

Keeping the “Happy” in the Holidays
   
With the season of peace and joy upon us, we busy ourselves with holiday activities such as shopping, cooking, decorating and socializing.   While it is an enjoyable time of year for many, extra demands are made of our time, energy, and financial resources which can leave us feeling depleted. When we pause to restore balance to our body, mind, and spirit, we are able to give abundantly to others without resentment. The following are suggestions to help you feel your best during this holiday season..

The Temple Within

As we watch the falling leaves all around us, we feel winter upon us. We see in our outside world, death and decline. This mimics our inner world of saying goodbye to the old and outmoded areas of our life that no longer serve us. Have you noticed that during this time of year, people’s moods seem to be more somber? We are all instinctively preparing to pull our energies inward to find our “inner flame”, or “The Temple Within”. Just like nature, we intuitively know deep inside on a spiritual level, that this is what’s needed for our own growth and renewal..

Channeling Spirits From Beyond: A Gift of Healing from Spirit 

   Have you ever wondered how individuals we call mediums bring spirit in and through them to deliver messages?  Have you ever thought, this is a hoax, how can this really happen?

   Spiritualists have affirmed that after the death of our physical body, our spiritual body continues on into the next dimension..

The Mysteries of Water

1.   Internationally renowned Japanese scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words, and feelings.

Since humans and the earth are composed mostly of water, his message is one of personal health, global environmental renewal, and a practical plan for peace that starts with each one of us.

MEDITATING AT WORK: Who knew?

Those who meditate have a distinct advantage over those who don’t.  Individuals who meditate at work enjoy greater productivity and clarity.  They experience better concentration, stronger intuition, and more physical vitality.  There is a reduction in stress, tension, fatigue, and anxiety.

Getting Your Beauty Sleep

        Some people look forward to that wonderful, dreamy state, called sleep, at the end of a day.  Perhaps an escape from stress filled lives, it provides the solace needed to get up and do it all over again the next morning.  Although they may have trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep, sleep is something very desirable.  Other people don’t even like the idea of sleep, and are convinced that it is a waste of time.  You probably know people like this.  They put off sleep, waiting until they are almost ready to fall over before intentionally placing their body in a horizontal position.  Don’t they know that they need beauty sleep?
