Sparkling Gold

Eating Lighter.

2009-04-02T07:48:00.002-05:00

I notice that I am just not interested in the heavy foods I was craving before the bowel cleans.

That wast the whole idea, to get rid of the residue of the winter eating. Well I worked...
Now I want my apple, oranges, veggie juices, eggs, brown rice with veggies, or with avocado - my favorite, anything that is not the heavy pasta...

We tried Mexican last eve, just to much for me. I only eat some tortillas, and 4 nochos, it was just too heavy. The tortilla soup would have been the thing.

I am so glad I did the bowel cleans, I really feel so much better.

I noticed to that I am not up every hour or two in the middle of the night to visit the rest room.
go watch the herb docs videos...

Sore no More...

2009-04-01T07:39:00.000-05:00

I had some really sore spots on my hand on Sunday when I posted the had chart on reflexology.
So I spent the day mashing, massaging, almost tearing up at times from the pain as I pushed on those spots.

Now on Wednesday I notice all of those spots are gone! no to very little pain where they were.
but Monday my hand felt a bit swollen and tender.
Even the usual spot in the middle of foot is hugely reduced in pain to almost nothing.

Pretty Impressive. Stuff.

First Day of real food

2009-03-28T08:27:00.000-05:00

Actually I think that real food is the great diet I have been on the last 5 days.

Today I am going to ad some cooked food.
I added steamed broccoli, and celery with Salsa and humus.
Then I took about 5 Triscuits whole wheat and salt. (Original Truscuits)
that was very tasty with the Humus.

As today is Earth Hour Day 8:30 Pm tonight we are going out to celebrate, at veggie restaurant.
I had some good veggies with spinach pie, just a little filo on top, with an inch and 1/2 of spinach inside. wonderful stuff.

I also took 1 Herb Doc #1 's for the first time - the herbal dynamite- I let you know tomorrow
if it was too much or just right.

I really enjoyed the 'emptiness' of my stomach over the last 5 days.
I am going to eat more raw foods now.
Drink more juices.

I will do this now at least once a year maybe twice.
The last one I did was about 3 years ago - to long.

Day 5 Success...

2009-03-27T08:22:00.000-05:00

Much easier Day. I have dropped 10 pounds now I am 250.4
I ate all of the forgoing days plus I added an apple, and a Caesar salad at night.
My energy has returned, I feel much stronger.
I have more interest in sex than I have had in months.

I guess carrying 10 #'s of crap around in me had done me in.
remember go see Dr Schults the Herb Doc for more info on what you can with this as well.

find him here.

Day 4 ~ harder day.

2009-03-26T13:25:00.002-05:00

The 4th day is where the magic happens,
thing move out, clear, then you feel better than you did when you began.
This evening I do feel better.

Today I was slow, had to think longer, really didn't want to talk with anyone or do much.
I just worked with and spoke to the folks I needed to work with, got over the hump.

Now all is very much better.

2009-03-25T21:53:00.000-05:00

"An RA defiant" - No Rheumatoid Arthritis

2009-03-21T11:17:00.001-05:00

If you or a friend have this RA, Rheumatoid Arthritis, you have the # 1 disease listed in the USA...
Become an RA Defiant...

Like Roseline Bodiford a French Canadian Artist living and now painting in Dallas, TX.

Roseline was diagnosed by her Doctor about 3.5 years ago and was told she would have to be on medication for life, and that is may not help much.

This began her journey back to health, as Roseline refused to have RA.
Rheumatoid Arthritis was not going to be in her life.

With this determination and mind set, she located another doctor, got a second opinion and found that with the proper testing she was a walking piece of metal.
Metal poisoning was the cause, detoxification was the solution.

This is story of her journey and a caution to any artists, mechanics, and others who may not understand nor have been warned of the dangers of taking a simple art class in HS or college.

How many today suffer from this horrible debilitating condition? How many could be over it? well listen to this wonderful interview on the Holistic Radio Show.com

So unless you want to just ignore it, let it get worse, loose your joints, and take drugs the rest of your life to only deaden the pain;
then listen up...

Smile there is something you can do to undo what has been done, to 1.3 million Americans,

The Blue Bird of Happines....

Love the Dentist....

2009-03-19T07:19:00.003-05:00

Yea right? ! ? well, maybe...
Many feel this way about this necessary field of medicine.

2 Dentists told a man he would have to loose 10 teeth to periodontal disease.
The second asked his Holistic Dentist 'why I thought could do something about this !'
One more was need to save the day...
Dr Henry Guy of Dallas, TX told is fearless patient he concurred with the former diagnosis. In answering 'why' Dr Guy said look, you smoke, you drink, you eat horrible food, you don't take care of yourself.' to which the patient responded: 'What's that got to do with my teeth?'

Well, this is intresting; once he decided to get well and do all he could, he followed the companionship of Dr Guy on his healing journey, he still has his 10 teeth 10 years later.

Holistic Dentistry isn't about doing it a certain way for all people; it is about working with each unique client or person in a unique way for them. This is Dr. Henry Guy's approach or in another word forming a relationship a caring relationship, then discovering how best serve his new friend.

Dr. Henry Guy is also a caring Dad, husband and mediator, he has meditated with a special group 2ce weekly for 25 years with out missing a day. Balance is lived in his life, as well as in his practice.

Simple heath is in the bowel

2009-03-17T10:38:00.002-05:00

There are many details of many chemicals and herbal combination that will help us live better. Science has a barrage of info to drown the simple truth.

Now multi - level companies are selling colon cleansing and it is becoming more known, but when did your Dr. last suggest you do one? Or did he suggest a look see by knocking you out and look up inside you?

Is this rediculous? I think so, and so many natural healers the world over. You know, the ones giant drug companies seek out to 'discover' their secret herabal formulas, then extracting the goodies, patenting the proceess, and selling it to you throught FDA in a very expensive form.

All that has to be done is to use the herb, live the way they suggest and be healthy.

Where to start? Stop eating what is killing you -
eat no 'white'

then clean your bowel...How? watch those videos...

Rice & Beans...

2009-03-14T08:40:00.003-05:00

How many ways can you make them?
Mexican restaurants have lots and some several to choose from:
Spanish rice from dry to very wet with tomatoes and various spices;
black beans, pintos, refried, charo beans, some with pork, bacon or peppers...

The Louisiana variety of dirty rice and red beans - sort of like kidney beans - I 'm really not sure of the difference but there seems to be. Oh I personally like to ad the old stand by of hot sauces Tabasco = these special peppers just like to meet my saliva and sparkle in there.

India has the most varieties for sure. As there are many temperaments of bodies according to their ancient system of medicine - Ayurveda, think of it as fast skinny bodies, fat slow moving ones, middle of the road moving types... a bit more complicated and in no way doing the system justice, but an westerners idea.

Brown rice and mung beans is a staple I can enjoy almost continuously or the white rice version.
Called by several names in India depending on the local, culture, and language of the locals making it, or I should say them...
Is simple food really healthy? Oh yes more so than most...

Soak the mung beans over night, like most beans now they become activated 'sprouts' with hundreds of times more nutrients in them.
Wash the rice well.
Combine a cup of rice to about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mung beans depending on your taste.
in a pot with tight lid combine with 2 sups of water or 3 if you like it very wet.
You can also substitute milk for part of the liquid.
a pinch of salt - some use a sweetener I just don't believe white sugar is a food - but is a poison.
now the spices...
this where the science of Ayurveda comes in...
depending on your temperament, and needs you vary these.
ginger, turmeric, cardamon - green & black, coriander, cilantro are some of the choices.
none is also a good choice.

Cook this for about 20 -40 minutes depending on the type of rice you use.
If basmati uncovered and simmered for about 20
others about 40 minutes.

When you are ready to eat it
put on the ghee or clarified butter.

Yogis live on this eating every 4 hours, and sleep a bit, stretch a bit, meditate a lot, then repeat the whole process every 4 hours continuously for several weeks or even more.
I have witnessed the amazing results of this practice in consciousness raising.

Lots of fiber, lots of nutrition, easy to digest. Try this for day a week or a month...
Have some fun

Getting fatter here...

2009-03-12T23:11:00.001-05:00

Well I am eating more because it is so much colder than years before.
I feel I need it.
but I am also gaining, up about 12 #'s/

why? I am eating bread, I have noticed if I cut this out I loose weight.
I am a 'O' blood type, we are supposed to be meat eaters. I do like buffalo, beef, pork, not much on fish nor chicken.
Love veggies.
so here's what I am going to do...

I did an red chili New Mexican style tonight form www.buenofoods.com in Albuquerque, NM
no bread, with buffalo, onions, potato.

Last night, I ate baby bockchoy and sauteed with onions, and buffalo weener, made with honey not sugar and no preservatives. Cabbage would have great too.

Try some of this if you are inclined and let me know...

Healthy eating...

2009-03-10T05:42:00.001-05:00

This is best time to celebrate
This full moon I thought you might to celebrate with joy !

best rice...

2009-03-09T17:03:00.001-05:00

Cooking brown rice has been a challenge for me, and I just don't like it.
Rather I didn't until a happy dragon showed me how on a visit.

Use a Pressure Cooker !

2 and 1/2 cups of pure water
2 cups well washed short grain brown rice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

wash the rice, bring the water to a boil,
add the rice stir with a fork,
close the cover,
when it comes up to 2 red rings if your cooker has this
or when it comes up to pressure,
move to another burner pre heated to very low, on electric stoves -
or turn down the heat.

Cook for 50 minutes
remove from heat let stand
for 10 minutes more.

cover should have all pressure off by now:
then open the cover and enjoy the perfect rice.

I like it with yogurt or cottage cheese.
I like it with just avocado or a combination of the above.

You can use it with all kinds of veggies and lots more...

Honey is sweet for all...

2009-03-08T10:09:00.004-05:00

Honey has been found to be 'the' one sweetener for all - even diabetics. Did you know that other sweet things feed cancer cells? Did you know that if you have ever taken antibiotics you probably are a walking bread factory? And what is it that feeds the yeast in bread? yep sugar, in its many forms.

Honey is the one item that is not the problem. If you have a major candida problem, you may need to lay off the honey for little while. But once under control, you can only eat honey safely... yes indeed. Honey is the love of bees.

Jee did you see tiger swami today on bees & Love? You may like to see this book review too, read here.
When buying honey make sure it is raw and unpasteurized. this honey has all of the natural 'extras' that make it really healing for you.

Honey is one of Mother Natures solution, a healer recognized for many centuries... long before the advent of 'health insurance'
Honey - a lot better
a lot cheaper too

Cell Phone health

2009-03-07T15:16:00.001-06:00

Can talk on your cell phone without it hurting your head?
I can now.
But for years I could feel the pain of the signal on my ear
in my ear - with head phones or ear buds...
in my head when I opened the flip part
I think it is the screens now a days.

But with all the noise out there about cell phones causing cancer and other goodies, even on Larry King Live...

I can tell you - because I am more sensitive than most to this electrical pain, like in the old computer monitors of 20 years ago, that most neutralizers do not work at all or very well.

I have found one that does work the best that I have found. They can be worn as jewelry too, for protection against electrical fields.
I have tried this aspect as yet.

You can find out a whole lot more from Alex Shaw, her interview I found on the Holistic Radio Show.com - but she also markets these cool devises.

What to eat?

2009-03-06T08:18:00.001-06:00

Eat what you want - can U do some raw at least? 25 % - 75% is best.

Ok really

what I eat:

for nutrition:
Super food green drink from herb doc
sometimes fresh lemon juice in 10 ounces of pure water - kidney flush
with a little cayenne in it.
good enzymes with every meal
Probiotics with every meal or at least daily.
MSM 1500 mg
Vitamin D 4000 - 6000 IU's daily (I am 250#'s)
I like some Chromium Picoliniate
And I need extra Iron daily, I try to get the food based tablets.

I like white cheddar cheese from Colbert,
but goat cheese I get is healthier.

bread makes me fat, the kind I can get at Wholefoods has no sugar of any kind, whole grains, and Zero yeast - no YEAST.

I love basil pesto - so I make it when I can,
I eat whole wheat and sprouted wheat or rice pastas.
I love Quinoa simmered 15 minutes in a veggie broth, brown rice, black or pinto beans, veggies - steamed or sauteed, seed burgers, nuts.

& I do like beef - grass fed, buffalo, eggs.
I choose oat milk not cow, goat would be fine too, if raw organic.

I do love tortilla soup - with avocados - this is my favorite food the green thing.

Hope this helps - Cheers.

Become the Way

2009-03-04T13:09:00.003-06:00

Are you well and healthy?
Happy and wealthy?
Got all you want?
Then you are helping others.... I would guess.

If not, then you are out of the game of life...

If you are ill, and under a doctor's care, are you feeling better and better?
Or, are the side effects of the medication getting to you, and making you sicker?

If you are not well,
you - yep, YOU and not your doctor,
need to 'do' -- 'DO' things to get well.
20 thing's you can do to move you forward, none of these are drugs.

The flow of life is just that a flow or put another way - a way - a path.
One can certainly sit in the sun or shade and enjoy the path a while, it is really beautiful, isn't it?

If you are not doing... you are not on the way
you are in the way towards health or anything else you are looking for.
If you are not trying to create something - be it a 'thing' or a situation such as a better life for others in some way, you are in the way....
be 'On the Way'
just like a river
there are no destinations,
only resting spots, to decide where to go or what to do next....

so be about it today...

Swami Shivananda:
Be up and doing in Yoga sadhana (practices)
you will attain supreme peace...
supreme knowledge
supreme

put another way if all you want is get better - why bother?
such a shallow goal or target, what do you want to 'do' when you are well ?
focus on that - then create a benevolent outcome.

well what are you after ? nothing?
sleep
Ok
have a good one
let us know when you want something else...

Poison Plant gives Health to many....

2009-03-03T12:08:00.002-06:00

A well known plant to LA freeway drivers is the Oleander, but not to cows; they will die from eating it, most cows won't. If you cut it in your yard and get the 'milk' on your skin you could get very ill or worse.

But in 2001 a patent attorney in San Antonio, figured out a patent on Anverzil - after reading through the confusing legalese - was a recipe for Oleander soup.
Oleander has been studied on over 500 AIDs patients now with near 100 % cure rate, not a remission rate but a true cure rate. Oleander coupled with the south African herb "cancer bush' has helped the body increase it's natural immune system and then the body cures itself. How come these simple effective methods aren't advertised world wide? read on...

But not only AIDs, but cancer has show over an 80% remission or maybe better.
Listen in to Colin's cancer research interview for how to find this information for yourself.
And to get a recipe and the book on how to make Oleander soup yourself.

While the studies are underway in South Africa, in USA the FDA has only issued warnings about the toxicity of the plant and Internet claims. Arthur Anderson Medical Center in Houston, TX has a phase one study under way of an oleander preparation similar to Anverzil.

What to invest in?

2009-03-01T11:14:00.003-06:00

The best or the junk
just because it glitters.

Fools gold takes as much effort to find as real gold, but as you know, has little value, by comparison.

How many play in the find the gold, make a living, feed my kids game? the survival game?
too many.

If you choose this game - yep you choose it, you won't find gold.

If you go for the real gold - you have to know what it is.

Bible: Seek yea first the kingdom of heaven and all esle shall be added unto you.

Where is this? It inside and above also. depends on where you want to and believe you will find it.

Inner knowledge may be found by really knowing the Kabala, but not the usual path, it is hidden.
A real teacher alone can show you this.
a real teacher may be an ant, or bird, or drop of water. For the only real teacher is a manifestation of you.

That is why - when the student is ready the teacher is there.
Astrology may be your path. Only you and God know your path.
What good is gold if you have no health?

But one way to find out is visit the wise: Those who have your interests in mind and heart - not theirs, alone.
There is always an exchange and needs to be -or it is theft.
If you are a street person, and someone feeds you - wash there dishes.

get the idea? There are many more poor people on the planet than those who have $1 in the bank. But you don't have to have the $1 to be polite. Be useful.

Invest in yourself; in your health, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally.
give a bit eveyday - not too much - just a little - you'll feel great for it.

now go walk around the block in the sun, and breath some real air.
Listen to the www.HolisticRadioShow.com for people who won't stear you wrong.

Hugs and Cheers.

Herbal flu 'shot's' better than expected...

2009-02-28T09:07:00.002-06:00

I began searching for an alternative to flue shots simple because I don't beleiv in them.
what I found was atonishing:
herbal and natural things work so much better, but our life style precludes the simplicity of nature, and as there is no money in advertising free or next to free things- they don't get spoken of or viewed on popular shows.

Checking the herb doc and his videos, I found the most amazing confirmation of why I didn't want to take any shots at all from a needle, the mercury preservatives are the most obvious...

But look lets take a simple look at the sun - if we get enough daily - we won't get the flu, osteoperosis, our teeth won't rot, our kids will be more healthy, and we will won't get many infections, of course we need some others nutrition like a green as well, but dang how do some many doctors miss this one?

So have you read this stuff? do you take Vitamin D in 5000 or more IU;s daily ? how come if not?

Hhug yourself, take some time to get educated and take responsibily if you want to be healthy, don't rely on a Doctor... You can be your own...

Balancing Emotions

2009-02-23T07:51:00.000-06:00

I had never heard of voice mapping for emotional clearing or healing.
This is a very interesting technique.
One has ones voice patterns analysed by a sophisticated computer, which then sends back the needed or missing frequencies that then brings the balance we seek.

Here's a bit of history on this technique:

History and Technology

Inventor Calvin Young became interested in voice mapping and sound healing while looking to make a change from his career as an aerospace engineer. Building on the work of early sound healers, including Pythagoras, to the BioAcoustic research of Sharry Edwards and the voice frequency analysis techniques of Alfred Tomatis, Young developed the technology known as VSA (Voice Stress Assessment). This was originally released in 2004 under the name "VoCal 360". At that time Young formed a brief partnership with Vaughn Cook of Zyto, Inc. Vaughn’s research eventually incorporated a version of voice mapping that integrates Zyto’s biofeedback stress assessment technology that is used by physicians, acupuncturists and naturopaths to help patients with their physical health. Today, Zyto’s voice map system is marketed under the name EVOX.

In a VSA session, you will record short "voice maps" on family, relatives and significant people in your life, about circumstances (such as car accidents and traumatic childhood events), and about health and other chronic conditions that are limiting your capacity to live a full, emotionally healthy life. Words are not recorded, only a combination of the present and missing frequencies in your voice. The missing frequencies are a consequence of the buried memories connected to the subject of your recording.

The frequencies derived from your recording are then broadcast back to you. These frequencies stimulate and balance the relevant memory/muscle connection. During the balancing, you may experience a powerful emotional release or realize a significant insights into stress your experienced. If that connection is storing a memory connected to stress and trauma, that memory is causing an imbalance or distortion in the body’s energy field. That imbalance is contributing to the challenges you may be facing. In the biofeedback process, you may recall forgotten memories, strong emotional feelings, and/or critical insights that can help you break free of rigid thinking, unresolved grief and anger and other buried emotions that keep you stuck in repetitive behavior patterns. For more information, read the detailed description below.

Gold Does Sparkle

2009-02-22T08:13:00.003-06:00

Have you seen it in a nugget? In a river? On a finger?
Well it is there for a reason. We value it.
Something 150,000 tons of Gold has been mined since recorded history. Today we know of aobut 125,000 tons of the Shiny stuff, the rest may be in a mumies cave, or burried in chest on the bottom of the ocean.

But we have a lot of the stuff. In India the wealthy have decorated their food and eaten it - silver too. Ayerveda says the stuff is good for us. maybe but I don't get it. Gems are ground up to and eaten in many healing forms.

Many countries used to use the Gold standard as the USA did, but no more so we can manipulate the money supply as needed. And it is said it is needed... I don't think so , I think what is being said is that we have to hide our mistakes and charge you for it, so that we win and you loose. But this will change the world.

This will open the door for the real benefits to come foreward for the wealthy to support the really beneficial ideas. You can turn this to win - if you have some moeny.

You can turn this to a win if you have great ideas or inventions that will help.

What will you cook up? What is more valuable than gold?
Life can sparkle too.
Life can have a golden aura.
What are you emenating?

Always the same...

2009-02-21T07:34:00.003-06:00

There are few things on this earth that are stable, rock solid, dependable to be what they are.

The finances are bull, the banks are a rip off: just as our founding fathers said they were. They have tall ceilings to hold all of that hot air in there.

But what is solid? Real estate in TX used to be. The state wouldn't permit folks to take out a second on their home to pay for college or anything else. Then the bankers got the law changed so that now 10's of 1000's will loose their home because they have over mortgaged themselves.

Well why not take advantage of no discipline? no education.

A fool and his money are easily separated. This is true of the American public who believe their will be taken care of by their political representatives. They sure have....

But give unto Caesar what is Caesar's... right?

That is the price for being a US citizen - but what of the folks in LA? Where the LA times reports that: Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers. Also: less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Look around us and we don't see the sinking ship. Nor smell the stink of a broken system. We just watch Oprah do her shows, and ... Very confusing so I'll hide my head in the sand...

Well, why not? it is a lot bigger than me.
So I'll just eat shi.... well, you know sugar and white flour with chocolate, coffee, maybe I'll drown myself in beef & chicken grown with hormones and antibiotics to kill my healthy intestinal flora, then drink tap water with all of the drug residues that were excreted out into the toilet... jeeze you know the sand around my ears really doesn't feel so bad, after all: but it is very dark in here...

The things that stay the same seem to be Gold, Silver, Platinum, maybe copper, water, and Angels...they are always there to help, but your belief may stop you from getting it, or your belief may be fear and you then you believe that you are better off in the sand. Well, go ahead and stay there for as long as you like. After all no one will really care, jeeze no one does care -do they... deeper in the sand ,I sink.
When you get to this point:
-- Oh, hell I have created enough of this;
- help please; lets get on with living life now...
I am ready to move on... Then lets do just that...
So, I'll take another way...

I am asking for a benevolent outcome for me - the best possible one, that will hurt no other, but benefit me and those I am helping and responsible for. I want the Angelic help. I want the help of one who can see beyond what I can see, take it all into consideration, what will come, and what has been. Then come up with the best Benevolent Outcome for me...
yea I can do that much anyway.

This does require me to be patient once set in motion. It requires me to listen to the little voice in my ear, that attempts to guide me - but I don't have to listen, but I appreciate the fact that they try to speak to me. It requires that I ask for help in an effective manner.

If you want some help too... more... prefer to read?

Being in a comfortable environment is as important as good food to health and well being.
The Colors, the content, the Pictures, the furniture, the plants, everything can make a big difference in how you feel, and Heal.

If you have a picture that just depresses you every time you go by it - give it as a gift to your competitor. If you have lost a loved one, and their picture puts right into a tail spin of sadness, get a better picture of them that uplifts you - or , well I hate to say it - but remove it, gently of course.

These are just some simple basics of the art of placement or Feng Shui. You can read more of simple things to do to help you keep your life rising higher in all areas such as money, love, friendships, family, meditation.

Keeping your kitchen uncluttered, well organised to find everything easily, and decorated will raise your consciouness as you cook, and pass this new awearness on to those who enjoy your culinary creations. Using Feng Shui can give us that little extra boost when we need it most.
An Interview on the Holistic Radio Show

TX Oil just discovered, again...

2009-02-19T07:56:00.002-06:00

We have a little known form of valuable oil that is grown - yep grown, in Texas. Spindle top may not be best source of oil anymore.

Rhavda (pro: Rada) Cooper Emison the Texas Director of National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy, has been growing Essential and Infused herbal oils for over 30 years. Some of the plants she grows are impossible to grow in Texas, the experts in the field told her. And here she is growing them and turning these rare herbs into oils.

The oils have been used for healing since time immemorial, to stimulate responses such as aphrodisiacs, the circulation of the blood into areas that are in need. You name the malady and an herb and herbal infused oil has been used to remedy the cause.

You may note that the 'cause' is used. Acetaminophen, or aspirin, is a found in plants in nature. Now it is used almost universally in today's medicine. You can get the herbal natural substance in Arnica oil, or in homeopathic form, or a cream and gel. This is made from a little flower. It reduces pain and swelling or inflammation.

One of the main uses for essential oils, explains Rhavda, is in the cosmetic industry. So much so that rose oil - the essential oil of rose cannot be purchased in it's best quality. This is because the French and others pre- purchase entire crops of the best roses for their ingredients in creams, lotions, and potions. These are very effective in maintaining healthy skin and a young looking face. And yes, they are expensive.

A pound of rose essential oil may set you back over $6000. How ever, you can make your own. Rhavda does this, it takes her two years to let infusions blend well. These are the infused oils, though she could make the essential oil. Rhavda finds that hers works just a well, for less in more she says about how much oil to use.

Rhavda was drawn into the herbal field when she just had a child, and her hands were impaired by carpel tunnel. When visiting an herbalist by chance he after looking at her wrists, he said would you give me $15 for a few herbs? And in 3 weeks if it is not better, I will refund your money? well Duh ! she went for it. And she could hold, fold and do what ever necessary to take care of her new baby, and even work the computer too. She still cannot play the piano, as well though.

Better than the basically useless $6000 surgery I helped a friend go through for the same problem.

You too may like to learn about real Aromatherapy, or get certified by a real grower or just, read about or purchase the oils, Texas grown. We don't have to be dependent on foreign oil. You may like to grow your own to and co-op your oils with a whole network of local growers.

Go green - go local..

Get Real !

2009-02-16T22:07:00.004-06:00

Real food or Non GMO is said to be available at health food stores, and online for 'heirloom' seeds. For all of our time on earth we as humans have eaten real food. Now we are seeing a new result form the old vice: greed.

GMO means genetically modified. the controversy is strong. The Book Seeds of Change addresses this whole issue and raises the need to rethink this method. Actually the case is made that Eugenics has been renamed genetics.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering. Unlike conventional genetic modification that is carried out through conventional breeding and that have been consumed for thousands of years, GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. For example, a typical GM Food could be a strawberry that must survive in cold climates. Cultured cells from the strawberry and of a similar plant that is more resilient to cold are grown. Researchers use the Polymerase Chain Reaction method of replication to create millions of the desired DNA fragment safely and accurately. Researchers then insert these fragments, along with RNA "instructions" into plasmids or modified protein capsules, called "protein coats," much like those of viruses. These plasmids, along with DNA ligase and other enzymes, are injected into the cultured strawberry cells. The enzymes sever the DNA of the strawberry at a specific precoded point, and the fragment of 'frost resistance' DNA is placed in the gap. DNA ligase then binds the severed DNA ends. The cells of the strawberry plant grown from culture are now more likely to be resistant to frost.[1][2]

Genetically engineered crops and foods are controversial. These commonly focus on the long-term health effects for anyone eating them, environmental safety, labeling and consumer choice, intellectual property rights, ethics, food security, poverty reduction, environmental conservation, and potential disruption or even possible destruction of the food chain. Proponents claim the technology to be a boon for the human race, while critics believe it to be a potential or actual health or ecological disaster. credit:

William Engdahl's book Seeds of Destruction takes on the hot theme of what is behind the development of genetically altered plants and their imposition by what seems sheer force, on the earth's population. The motives he finds are not something everyone will be comfortable with, but since we are the guinea pigs and the eventual target of the foods so produced, we better start looking.

You may have heard of Arpad Pusztai, a scientist of Hungarian origin who, working in the UK, discovered that genetically modified potatoes, when fed to laboratory animals, caused pathological changes of their organs. The head of the Rowett Institute, which had employed Pusztai, terminated his contract and ruined his career, one indication that there are dark forces at work that will attempt to prevent any damaging information about GMOs to reach the wider public.

Rats fed GM soy developed sick offspring, and the Russian researcher blowing the whistle on that has been similarly vilified and her career ended.

In India, sheep grazing on cotton plants modified to manufacture BT toxin, died in large numbers indicating that the toxin is not, as we are told, harmless to vertebrates.

William Engdahl has put these and other instances of damage and suppression of science together with historical information on the promoters of 'scientific agriculture' and his conclusions are disquieting. more...

My feeling is this if you want healthy food: try growing some of your own... by organic and local as much as possible from farmers who know the source of their seed.

Happy cooking.

Mercury no more in Sweden...

2009-02-15T08:51:00.001-06:00

Government bans all use of mercury in Sweden
~in effect June 1, 2009

Press release 15 January 2009
Ministry of the Environment

The Government today decided to introduce a blanket ban on mercury. The ban means that the use of dental amalgam in fillings will cease and that it will no longer be permitted to place products containing mercury on the Swedish market.

"Sweden is now leading the way in removing and protecting the environment from mercury, which is non-degradable. The ban is a strong signal to other countries and a Swedish contribution to EU and UN aims to reduce mercury use and emissions," says Minister for the Environment Andreas Carlgren. more article:

This Landmark beginning has been in process for many years. The emperor of china that was buried with 1000's of terra cotta army men had a pool of the stuff buried with him. Many folks have valued this silver liquid for millennia. Now it is found that it may be one of the leading causes of cancer, along with root canals.

If you need a dentist that isn't familiar with this whole process and the electronic testing of the teeth to see if they are 'leaking' do your research to find one. Talk to many and build your own opinion. I bet not too many of them know that your teeth will heal themselves with enough vitamin D !

If you cancer you may want some alternative sources to see if they fit your personal wants and preferences. If you don't you many want to have a simple urine test done, just like a pregnancy test, to track up to two years before clinical cancer can be detected.

Have a wonderful day...
oh yea and hawthorn berries for your heart...

To Love, wherever we may find it...

2009-02-14T11:28:00.005-06:00

The History of this day is vast.
From orgies & outlawing marriages in Rome ~
to Love the one your with in the '60's
to a record number of Gay marriages in San Diego set in 1985:
Valentines day means many things to many people.
It is marketed and celebrated all over the world,
even in the Middle East where it is outlawed,
young Iranian boys and girls still purchase gifts
for each other and celebrate on this day.

One account of it begins in 270 AD in Rome:

270 AD - The history of St. Valentine's Day begins in Rome, in 270 AD . The Roman Emperor, Claudius II demanded that everyone worship the pagan gods that he worshiped. He also abolished marriage, and arrested anyone who disobeyed his rule. Many Christians were tortured and killed for their faith in God and trust in Jesus. There was a priest named Valentine who, despite the law of Claudius, continued to preach the word of God and perform marriage ceremonies, until he also was arrested ... more
He died on February 14, 269 AD, the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine" more history...

here's another one:
1400 - Using the language of the law courts for the rituals of courtly love, a 'High Court of Love' was established in Paris on Valentines Day in 1400. The court dealt with love contracts, betrayals and violence against women. more history...

The funniest valentine cartoon I saw, was several ladies shooting many arrows back at cupid...
all with the idea of get out of here! No more your stupid arrows, or love for me.

Electrons are found in quantum physics research right where the researcher wants them to be.

So the moral of all this lore, marketing, and habits from grade school crafts class on this day is that love it where you find it;
you can make it into what ever you want to believe.

My motto or mantra is simple Love is everywhere:
in the bud springing from the limb,
the flower blooming in winter,
the bee that collects and makes the honey;
The older couple celebrating 70 years of togetherness still holding hands, with their toothless smiles;
Slumdog millionaire's holding to honesty;
The attraction of molecules that bond to each other,
the rising of the sap in the tree, and falling of the nectar it produces to the roots,
the babies cry - why would it if it didn't think it would get help?

Love and hate are pretty much the same, they take the same focus and amount of time.
One who hates another takes great pain to get even or what ever with them...
they think about them all the time
consider ways to harm them
so I see that it is the Focus that defines love.
In the Bagavad Gita - the Hindu Bible Lord Krishna educates his disciple of this fact.
In the stories of Krishna as a boy he is hated so much by one that even he realises God, for his intense hatred of God created the focus on God; this resulted in liberation and God Realisation.

So if Love and Hate are the same - then what else is there?
save apathy, or drugs, which is sad to me; for that is where the Medical magicians have sentenced most to live today. They have created a 'painless' world of numbness.

I think we should love or hate pain - and focus on it, deal with it, fix it or create it,
it is a lot better than apathy or being out of the game of life.

eventually they will come out of even apathy
so :
Love is everywhere.
You just have to know how to recognise it.

Go cook up something you love to eat.
and the eaten loves you too.

Berries come to mind... I ate dates, + organic cottage cheese
it's what I had.
I loved it
& It loves me
(I can tell 'cause there's no pain inside,
no fuzzy eyes or feelings, it feels good)

If it's cold put your long pants on...

2009-02-13T11:18:00.001-06:00

In the worlds we live in (yes many)
we need to take appropriate precautions.

Some think this is negative thinking, may be it is sometimes.
If you know it is raining or forecasted, you may like a rain coat or umbrella. If is -20 degrees you may like your wool or flannel lined pants.
Snow boots for walk in the deep white woods with you dog.
This one world we live in: the earth out doors.

Another world we live in is the road system. Different set of rules, different clothes. Wear a seat belt it is the law, but it may save your life. If you have child then strap them in their car seat. It may save their life but it will cost you less, and if you have Prepaid legal - you will get service - as the don't cover stupidity.

Too many this stuff is obvious and we just do it - mostly with out thinking except to keep an eye to fashion. (Pink seat belts?)
Well, Larry King has matching suspenders...are the necessary?
(not sure but they do keep his pants up, and seem fashionable)

When you speak do so in a way that is appropriate for the environment your are in. And appropriate for the situation. make sure you are present , know what your going to say, they are ready to hear you, and your words are pleasant for the occasion.This is another world we live in.

Some keep a space for their departed loved ones, with candles, water, umbrellas, food etc., etc., or celebrate at special times of the year like day of the dead. This is another world we live in.

Some have virus protection for their computers some don't
but once they got a virus they won't do that again...
this is another world we live in.

In our kitchen world we take precautions in choosing health organic foods or grass fed beef, herbs and spices. We can take further precautions by choosing health diet for our age, gender, and activity levels.

We have a body, it has needs, it tells what it needs and what it doesn't, but do we listen? Pain is the language of the body - no pain means we are giving it what it needs; pain = we are not.

Do give you body the things it needs?
Do you know to give it lots of vitamin D for example - it prevents the flu, many virus attacks, acts like an antibiotic, seems to prevent osteoporosis, cancer, even tooth decay- how many take enough of this? Why don't we - we know we need some sun daily... yet, not easy to get?

Valentines day is tomorrow give your body some love too.
Give it some attention, focus, some listening time.
My lady is going to a 'gentle yoga class' and they have a yoga class for lovers as well - for couples - neat I Think - we have other plans for the time so ...

Happy day.

Need your help on energy bill

2009-02-12T20:05:00.001-06:00

Hi I received this today and thought you might like to help out...

to view his video press here...

Having trouble reading this email? View it on our website.

From the desk of T. Boone Pickens

Boone here. I've got an update on the progress of the stimulus package currently making its way through the U.S. Congress.

One bill has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and now another has passed the Senate. Critical elements of the wind piece of the Pickens Plan are in one or both versions of the bill, which now goes to Conference to create a final version.

We need to make one final push on the stimulus package to ensure our pieces are included.

Click here to email your Members of Congress now and urge them to vote for final passage of H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Even if you already emailed your Senators last week, please send an email again today to ensure your U.S. Representative also receives the message.

In addition to supporting H.R. 1, please ask them to support inclusion in that bill of the House Department of Energy grant program, which is critically important to helping wind and solar energy grow through the economic downturn. Also, ask your Members of Congress to support enactment of a strong national renewable electricity standard that meets President Obama's goal of securing 25% renewable electricity by the year 2025.

Click here to email your Members of Congress today.

Unfortunately the stimulus legislation still falls short of capitalizing on the potential of natural gas so we must continue our efforts to educate Congress on the benefits of natural gas in the coming months. Only then can we reach our principal goal of reducing America's dependence on foreign oil. So stay tuned to the Pickens Plan - when Congress starts to develop energy legislation, we will need to tell them that they have a lot more to do to end our reliance upon foreign oil and get more natural gas trucks onto our roads.

In the meantime, please click here to email your Members of Congress about the wind elements of H.R. 1 today.

- Boone

P.S. In 48 hours we will be delivering to the conferees a list of everyone who has emailed their Members of Congress in support of the Pickens Plan elements of H.R. 1. So it's important you email your Members of Congress today!

If you feel you have received this message in error, we apologize. You can unsubscribe at any time.

How to loose weight...

2009-02-11T23:01:00.001-06:00

1 or 2 or both:

eat less calories than you need to maintain your present weight.

or

exercise more to burn more calories than you need to maintain your present weight.

These are the only two ways you can do it...
with many variations:
all the diets you've heard of plus,
vegan,
vegetarian,
live food,
lightly cooked food'
cut out the carbs -

no "white" is the easiest rule of thumb I know of...

if one can build more muscle as it these take more calories just sitting on the couch watching TV.

rebounding is great,
yoga is great, but be gentle,
running is great, if it is your temperament.
sex is great if it is your temperament.
swimming is great, if you can do it with out marinading your body in chemicals...
K-1 are great if you like this type...

You are you
what you eat is to fit you needs to be decided by your body and you - you may get help

How to cut the #1 Killer -Cancer in 1/2

2009-02-10T08:20:00.005-06:00

Day the sun is more important than ever. This video supports the Vitamin D councils findings and more. Cancer is now the # 1 Killer in America. The Sun has a great effect on causing this ~ not what we've told - stay out of the sun - is a lie.

do some research
do the tests
use a tanning bed in the higher latitudes
find out how to do the tests

the results are simple if you have the right balance of Omega 3- Omega 6 and other Oils like coconut, olive - you won't have sun caused problems - and you don't have to stay out to long.

The diminished brain function seems related to Vit D deficiency as well.
We can go on and on and on
but you can't
until you get enough Vit D

get sun 20 - 30 minutes a day.
take the supplements I like Carlson brand in correct amounts.
the RDA is totally ridiculous.

If you do the testing properly, you'll know just how much your body needs.
Caution: many labs today do the wrong tests and use the old test parameters - they will not give you the right results.

Interconnection of Life...

2009-02-09T21:24:00.003-06:00

We are all connected; a design of infinite connections inspires us on deep levels of knowing this basic truth. Respect of life is living life consciously. The Native American hunter thanked his prey and even tried to breath in its last breath.

When we eat we consume consciousness. Today with restaurants cooking with many cooks, and families running and moving to quickly, listening to talk shows, or TV - the news while cooking, we have little peaceful consciousness in our food.

Take a minute or two and do what many religions do and bless your food, give thanks, I just try to tune in - the high self above, the earth below and the living forms of plants and animals, and then tuning the energy of the food to my body. This is more than just a devotional practice. Mind is subtle and intention effects everything we do.

this little 'globe' or drawing by Charlie Gunn with The Geometry Center (University of Minnesota) is a great way to remind one of this interconnection.

Popcorn Pizza...

2009-02-08T17:30:00.001-06:00

Well I was smarter this time
the chocolate cake I had 2 days ago,
today I had flan early...
and pizza slice last night...
so I am all set for the Lion / dragon dance tonight at the Chinese restaurant.
they are really smart to the take 2 weeks to celebrate the New Year - beginning on the last new moon,
now tonight and tomorrow night - the Full moon Eclipse actually viewable from many parts of China.

So I am ready to have the day off with just a little food on the full moon tomorrow.

I look like a happy Buddha already....

Full moon pizza:
whole wheat crust
3 kinds of cheeses or more include one pungent like blue or gorgonzola
use a slightly spice tomato sauce for this one.

Make the crust with out yeast just flower water and a little salt.
roll it out: round or oval or square
use a ladle and smooth on the sauce about 2 - tablespoons..
Sprinkle on the cheese - graded is best or small pieces.

in a preheated oven to 500 degrees back for about 8 minutes until the edges are toasted and the cheese sizzling a little.

You can ad kalamata olives sliced, or artichoke hearts halved, fresh basil leaves - under the cheese, or any other toppings you like.

happy full moon...

A good day to cleanse...

2009-02-07T06:57:00.003-06:00

Happy are the days we enjoy with friends & family,
sharing stories, playing games, or listening to the latest troubles.
A good day to give your body, mind, & spirt a day off too.

There are several methods to cleanse:
~eat only raw veggies or lightly steamed ones - especially leafy greens.
~eat only fruit for the day - make sure it is ripe - difficult to do if they don't grow locally.
~drink fresh juices like veggie or fruit
~or the try the lemon juice day fast:

+juice 2 medium to large lemons into 10 -16 ounces of pure water- room temp is best.
put in a small pinch of Cayenne pepper, maybe a little honey -

do this either first thing in the morning at least 1/2 hour before eating,
replace a meal with this
or fast the whole day on this.

There are other ways too. The Chinese have an interesting method.

How ever you decide to proceed, giving your digestion a rest is good just like enough sleep is needed.

Try the night oil?

2009-02-06T21:38:00.004-06:00

really a good thing to do. eat a little coconut oil just before you go to sleep - before 12 or 1 AM
I go to sleep most nights about 9 or 9:30 that's when I take mine.

I wake up feeling better when I do this. Dr Tennant had suggested maybe some lemon oil about 6 drops before bed time to aid in cleansing the liver.

I remember the Dr. also describing the need to have teeth removed that are leaking energy, whether from improper metal matches, or root canals. I also saw pictures of toxic mercury gas coming off metal fillings... amazing things.

Many countries, I understand have banned metal fillings. USA seems to be behind the times in this area.

Gold can win or loose ~ you choose

2009-02-05T17:56:00.004-06:00

This is what the Gold market is doing right now. Is it going up?
Is it going down?

You can find experts that say it is doing either. Some say it will go to $2000 and ounce by end of 2010 ~ one says it is going to back to it's historic normal range.

Gold is said to have always bought the same amount of goods: in Roman days a good meal, with loaf of bread and good toga. Just about the same today.

What is going on with the worlds finances - man that is an easy one - just any kid can tell you that answer - the banks are the problem....any questions?

Well why would Thomas Jefferson be so adamant not to let bankers into this country? No national banks. We kept that until the was of 1812 I understand. I also understand at that time the library of congress was burned.... hummm...

the 2 presidents assassinated in office have something in common - don't you know...
they both had the Treasury print and issue money...
Isn't that what we always do? Look into it... Apparently Pres Johnson's first duty as Pres was to repeal the executive order.

Why bring all this up now? Simple -what we are being feed it a load of sh... fuel for the field.
If you have money, and you want to know how to make it while the rest of the world is losing theirs - jobs, houses, shirts too... consider articles by this guy Nick.

I consider this as Holistic because he takes into account all the sides of the situation very carefully ~ before he will give a recommendation, just like he did breaking the Monica Lewinsky story.

Many Rivers Many Salmon...

2009-02-04T09:36:00.005-06:00

I would walk around and jump from rock to rock as my Dad fished for Stealhead in the Columbia, as it wound it's way around through apple country in Washington State. I saw lots of little cute things a 7 year old would love in the water.

And I almost fell over back wards with excitement calling my Dad when I came across what looked like a 7 foot red fish just about 3 feet in front of me.

Salmon country - the Grand Coolie Damn had a Salmon ladder. I didn't like climbing ladders in those days - and I couldn't figure out at the time why a fish would want to either - but they sure did...
If you've never seen the power of huge jumping Salmon up those ladders...well, it is extraordinary.

I was raised on Salmon, fillets, steaks, stews, canned by mother at the cannery with clams we caught, every way you can think of. But one way is my favorite - Indian made Salmon jerky.
I really don't like much fish these days anyway.

Salmon is the craze now- I think McDonnalds will carry it soon -- :-)
But having had fresh caught Salmon from the Alaskan waters as my cousins came back in their commercial fishing boats after trading with the Russian boats during the cold war, most Salmon just doesn't taste very good to me...

I discovered these Native Americans from the North Coast who import this into Dallas, and many learned from them about the industry today. Farm raised or Atlantic Salmon means poor quality fish - save WholeFoods has a special farm method for theirs that's reported OK, so they say in Santa Fe. Their interview is very interesting.

If you want to stay local - don't eat Salmon as they don't swim in Dallas, TX nor in Santa Fe, NM.
But the are good flown in fresh...

More restaraunts are going local...

2009-02-03T08:19:00.002-06:00

Check out your local watering hole and grub basket to see if they are going more green

One of the best things to do is ask where they get their stuff from.
We notice there are more and more doing so with out the chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics in the meat either.
They actually taste better too...

Here's an example from Blue Mesa Restaurants they are also members of the green restaurant association.

OUR COMMITMENT TO BUYING LOCAL

One of our goals for 2008 is to seek out local farms and producers for our products. We are doing this for several reasons:

Ø To use the freshest ingredients harvested at their peak of flavor; keeping us connected to the seasons.
Ø To support the local economy.

Ø It
is consistent with our philosophy of building business through building
a long term relationship with the community - putting a “face” behind
the foods we consume.

Ø Buying produce from local growers reduces the environmental impact of transporting products.

Here are some examples of how we are achieving these goals:

Working
with Hardies Fruit & Vegetable Company we found several local farms
that supply us with seasonal vegetables. Each season we will feature
different fruits and vegetables from these farms. Starting in January
’09 we will be making our fresh fruit margaritas from locally sourced
seasonal fruits.
The chicken in our Slow Roasted Natural Chicken is from Buddy’s Natural Chicken in Gonzales.
It is a local farm that feeds the chickens natural grains and uses no
antibiotics or other chemicals. The flavor of these chickens is
fantastic – you can really taste the difference.
The
cheese in our Goat Cheese Enchiladas is from Mozzarella Company,
a cheese manufacturer. These enchiladas have become a very popular
item.
Our tortillas are from Rudy’s and La Mexicana who makes their tortillas right here in Dallas.
Our coffee and tea (for our Passion Fruit Iced Tea, too) is produced here in Dallas America.
You
will see more and more local products on our menu. The sweet potatoes
for our chips are purchased from local growers when available. These
products tend to cost more money so it is something we are doing
selectively. We want to maintain our overall prices and value to our
guests.

Vitamin D for teeth?

2009-02-02T21:18:00.001-06:00

I would never have guessed... but bones need vitamin D and calcium will steal it from other tissues when deficient which it seems most of Americans are.

Vitamin D seems to not be a vitamin either.

Did you know that before conception a mother needs have suffient Vitamin D for the Baby to develop healthy teeth? Narrow jaws, and not enough room for the teeth in there (like mine were) shows the result.

would you guess that healthy teeth with plenty of available Vitamin D may even heal a cavity on their own?
well this is just sampling of what wonders Vitamin D will do for us.

Get into the sun for about 1/2 hour a few times a week and you'll get about 20, 000 IU's . The RDA seems to be a big joke.

Go Red...

2009-02-01T11:52:00.001-06:00

Or green, yellow, brown, purple,
just not white.

Take the whole brown things today and leave the white salty or white sweet things in the trash.
Chocolate is great but where to get the good ones - hunt it is out there.

Today is on of several days folks try to pickle themselves into 'fatdom' or in joy seeking to a state of mind they are now addicted to. Once they actually had a really great time drinking and yelling at the 'game' many still do...

but do you?
Maybe it is time re-look and see if this behavior is still producing the same results you wanted...
for many it gets them into the hospital faster - which is where 'they' want you,as 'they' know it is just a matter of time.

Once is while like maybe every quarter (of a year) we can abuse a healthy body - but not all season long.

To clean it up is great an needed but a whole lot easier if it is not too dirty in there in the first place.20 ways to keep you joyful are enough for some but for others you may need more ways - be creative.

You could serve some home made root beer - or herbal brews - with something other than white sugar- you have to hunt or make it your selves - the Germans have some I've had.

A fresh veggie try with colorful peppers yellow - red- green- purple, or roasted sweet or hot peppers, organic cottage cheese and brag herb sprinkles. Have fun - try grass fed beef for the burgers or bison.

You can do health - you just have to grab the steering wheel from the habits that are running your life (and mine) the trick is create new healthy habits.
takes focus - with the right foods you'll get more Focus, more energy, and will have more fun, more adventures, or you can just TV with out the pain for more years -- all is your choice.

Pass the purple please...

Better way than the 'squish' ...

2009-01-31T08:57:00.000-06:00

In Europe Thermography is a main line test for breast problems not the mammogram. Since many reports have shown that women who have regular mammograms are more likely to get breast cancer, this none evasive technique is great. Then of course if one needs one get one.

To find out more details on this Holistic method visit Genie's interview.
My friend wrote his findings on his first year investigating cancer alternative treatments, there are many good suggestions here too.
One of them is the information on the $50 urine test for cancer - check that one out as it is purported to detect problems up to 2 years before it becomes it becomes clinically diagnosable.

Genie has found that Thermography shows all kinds of problems in males and females. Easily and painlessly.

That picture is a difficult as it gets - just a plastic touch no skin penetration.
Please do decide for yourself ~ you can take charge of own health care, as self care.

Eyes open - lights on ~

remember the time machine? The beady eyed night creatures of the underworld cannibals just sounded a siren all the humans just walked like zombies to their death? Well this is just what the modern system of "medical insurance - health care" seems to be all about. The message seems to be 'don't think for yourself - just do what your doctor says'

Sound a lot like the middle age Church - don't read the bible for yourself - you are stupid - you can't have a relationship with god - you have to go through me...

well we sort of grew up from that one too ---
or have we?

Daikon...

2009-01-30T11:42:00.003-06:00

Daikon (だいこん^?) (from Japanese daikon (大根), literally "large root") this mild tasting root is a favorite of mine. I like it raw, washed, pealed if dirty, salted or marinaded in a mild sauce - maybe of rice vinegar, or raw apple cider vinegar, with or without soy sauce or Brags amino's.

One can cut it into match sticks to roll in shusi, add it to a salad. But weirdly enough - I like it best raw with a bit of salt.
This root never takes anything from me like many foods do - fried foods take my energy to digest them - this one seems to make me feel 'full' and satisfied - often it is all I will eat.
more goodies?

To your health...

Self Care or Health Care?...

2009-01-29T10:12:00.002-06:00

You know all of this talk about honoring the in-laws got to thinking about being old...
Well I like the idea of getting younger each year on my birthday.
You know I actually feel better today than I did at 30 !

Because I am taking better care of myself. I have the 'super food' and the 'Protect' for heart, liver protection from our toxic environment and more. I practice chi gong for putting the spin on the electrons my way...

It was discovered that the Full moon energy on the atmosphere pushes the positive Ions down to us to breath and keeps the negative ions up higher: many go more 'nuts' on a full moon. Check with your fire, ambulance, police, and emergency room Dr,s to verify this.

Daily living with computers, electrical wires in the walls, wifi's, TV's, cars, microwaves - all put the positive electrons into our breathable space. These 'undo' us the negative ions 'do' us or support us in living healthy lives.
One of the 20 ways to health is to get into the sun for an hour a day. The sun actually gives us these negative ions.

But how to get them in the winter? Well there's a new form of Sauna with a special blend of carbon and ceramic far infrared heaters that will do this one way. If you like you can check them out.

Then I began thinking of all of the people who have died at the hands of a Dr vs those who died in war... appalling -- I will stay away from the hospitals myself, and prefer self care to 'health care'.

Icing is on the Trees...

2009-01-28T12:05:00.002-06:00

or the flowers... this ice storm I have been seeing pictures of is beautiful...
on the trees - sparkling
and the flowers.
So I thought - what a great decoration- frozen pansies?

Have you tried it?
I am going to do so and then put it on the dinner table as a Winter Celebration.

I think it will make a wonderful way to Celebrate the Chinese New Year...

Happy day and do let me know if you have tried this...

Smiles..

I chose grass fed beef tonight...

2009-01-27T22:23:00.002-06:00

After the New Moon veggie day...
I made my beef stew again, with the grass fed local beef from Whole foods.
I guess everyone has the best way to celebrate.
We have a nice fire tonight in the fire place. The pot of stew outside on the patio -cooling.
a great place to put it - with the temperature co-operating, when there is no room in the refrigerator.

Tomorrow I am going to make some whole brown rice spaghetti, with a fine garlic & basil sauce with the addition of a Turkey Italian sausage. Yum -

But I don't care to eat sugar in my sauce - it's difficult to find but there were two, at whole foods,
or i just take the time to make my own.

enjoy the day more by decorating your living area.

In addition to your consciousness you are putting into your food, the area you cook in , the colors, the design, the placement of things can help have a better life.

Practicing chi gong will overcome the negative effects of where you live.
Many things to learn...

Happy new moon - Happy New Year....the OX

2009-01-26T02:09:00.001-06:00

Yea! the New Moon eclipse brings in the Chinese New Year.
see Tiger Swami for a picture of this eclipse.
I had a great apple today I think is was called a 'pink lady' very nice.

Having grown up in apple orchard in Washington States central growing region, where applets and cottlets come from, I like these new type of apples.

The best apple that I think you can get looks like a golden delicious, but grows only in New Mexico.
To get there go north of Albuquerque, NM on I 25 to the Cocihiti damn, lake and Pueblo turn off, just before La Bajada ( the big hill up). Then go into Tent rocks area - before you get there you will find the apple farm.

August and September is the best time to get the fresh apples, and fresh pressed cider.
these are called Champagne apples. Ah a great time to dream of one's favorite veggies.
This is Chinese New Year Celebration day one - go veggie...

see the article on the New Year...

get ready to go veggie...

2009-01-25T09:59:00.001-06:00

Hi there;
today is wonderful for the new moon tonight~ rather Monday at about 12 midnight MST to enjoy a great vegetarian day or tomorrow. The new moon seems to make me eat a bit less anyway or lighter...
So in honor of the First day of the Chinese New Year eat your veggies.
This could be a wonderful fruit salad day:
I like strawberries, Pineapple, berries, apples - Grannie smith's, some grapes but no melons.
I prefer to eat these alone or leave them alone.

It could be eggplant parmigiana, with cheeses or pizza (no meat) just something that you don't have to kill.

My friend Meso fine is writing a great series on the the 15 days of the Chinese New Year...
have some fun...

New Moon on the way - Monday...

2009-01-24T08:26:00.000-06:00

Hi time now for the opposite of 'stuff me' full moon - the
'I'm ok with a little soup' moon - new moon...

some make a little of a lot.
Fast on lemon juice (one or 2 lemons in 8 -16 ounces water) for the day
maybe add a little honey...{not white stuff though (sugar)}

or just eat less.
but make it a tasty bit less.

Like my favorite goat cheese on a whole wheat trisket -
or an organic all beef hot dog wrapped in an Ezekiel tortilla with raw sourkraut and Jack Daniel's mustard.

Or the flowerless wrap (above) with sunflower sprouts...
I like to just drag it across the medium stove burner to get that fresh tortilla taste- just a little browned.

Salad is great too - but too cold here. Waite a few days the weather will change in NM...

So have fun create great healthy snacks...

get some sun - if you can find it
vitamin D3 is needed to ward off infections.

Smile some too - share your sun...
stay healthy..

I have read a most interesting article on the state of the world economy and 2 things we can all do to keep out of the train wreck the banks are creating.

I see this as Holistic Investing because unlike most people that don't want to know about the cause of their pain- and cure it, they just want to avoid it and take a pain killer... doesn't solve the problem. On e has to get into the pain - explore it, face it, work with it - to solve it.

So this article gets into why the 'fixes' the fed gov makes won't be enough - after all it has bankrupted countries already ! We have seen little of the effects in the US as yet... but a storm is coming.

If you want to have a storm shelter - so to speak - set up - to get into like Dorothy didn't, you need to act quickly. Reading this article will give you 2 great Ideas you can use now. many will be in deep deep doo doo, but you don't have to.

If you are a light worker, and follow your inner knowing, you will be fine. If you are not sure - study up because you will need to know.

Better to have a first aid kit when needed - than not to have one when it may be required.
simple things - but how many do? How many just rely on Dr.'s or the gov for their health?
Better to take responsibility for these and your finances too, in my opinion.

A horse goes into the pain - humans tend to run away from it. Why? A horse when bitten by a cougar goes into the pain and the cat may let go - (if bitten by the horse); if he runs away the cats bite may rip out out large chunks of his body... better to go into the pain.

Happy painful reading... you will get to the cause of the pain in your life this way...

2009-01-21T17:19:00.001-06:00

Ouch! Pulled the back today...
lower back - some of you know this one...
Hot & Cold shower helps the most for me.
Winter time start hot end hot
~ 1 minute on the hottest water you can stand - but not hot enough to burn you.
~ 20 seconds after it gets it really cold - icier the better - or longer time. (OK, to scream ! )
this is one cycle
then start over with the hot.
do 7 to 10 cycles
in winter end on a hot one.

helps everything I have tried it on it 2 -3 day at most.
after the shower stay warm - wrap up or go bed....
I like to put on 'deep tissue oil' I get from Dr Schultz
you can find it in Colin's first aid kit.

Celebrate a New wave in the USA...

2009-01-20T03:59:00.001-06:00

Amber waves of grain - ever seen them?
Like ocean waves flowing over the land in the wind.
These what made this country famous and strong.

What we have been growing lately resembles this past heritage only in likeness
~not content. Nutrition is way down. The deep rich topsoil has blown away.
We didn't know the effects of pulling out the natural grasses with 20- 30 foot deep roots;
these held the soil in.

We could have eaten the grasses - but white was fashionable.

So like the Mayans of old we are having to move our residences, our life styles, because in our vanity and greed we go for what is not Holistic in harmony with nature but what is we - think better -White

The Mayans used up their wealth - the richest soil to grow food to keep them strong, healthy; just to coat their buildings with White plaster. they looked very very impressive... but the lost it all.

Maybe someone will find what happened to the Great Pyramids in a similar way...
I digress...
there is quinoa which we looked at a few days ago.

The sister grain is amaranth both are very healthy, very organic, and in this country very new.
As we bring on today a new leader of change - maybe we will look at these two grains, and more... (see the comparison with whole wheat berries.)
Lets bring back the very strength that this country was founded on. Real Food.

Well now Mercury retrograde, Sun Moving today into Sagittarius, feels like a very quiet day...
what do you feel today? Nice like on a vacation to me...
well I guess it is Mr Martin Luther Kings Birthday is celebrated today...
People are off of work - can you feel it?

almost feels like the day the planes were ordered out of the air - very Peaceful even
the middle east is a bit of cease fire.

How to keep this every day?

well you can in you r heart .

One way is to cook your own food, or have someone cook it who is conscious and holds their mind off of worrying - or reads the upsetting news -
for the energy of the person who cooks your food is your food
remember all life (and death) is energy
E=mc2rd... I can't type it here...

that means there is no 'bad' energy - only unwanted energy at a given place and time.

for example the suns plasma is great on the sun...
but i wouldn't want it in my lap in a coffee cup :-)

so when you eat energize your food.
Place your hands on either side of your plate
get an energy field going between them,
and feel you are tuning your food to your body,
call in God or Great Spirit - your concept of this to tune your food...
this will sneak in the best energy for you...

If you can, have the most conscious person cooking yours....

Every seen your dog go out and chew the grass?
I know then he comes in and cleans out his stomach in front of the fire...
Or your cat?

Life likes life...

eat green
eat organge
eat purple
yellow
red
blue (? blue?)

most eat white~ the thing you don't want to eat unless it is cauliflower of course.
Try growing your own green things to eat:
a few herbs like parsley, sage, thyme, green onions, maybe even lettuce...
Throw them in a pot of dirt, keep them under some good light indoors - or if warm out doors
but cover with a bit fine mesh so your neighbors bugs don't chomp them first.

then put a few on your whole wheat sandwiches, eggs, stews -after they are cooked..
put them in Meso soup.

Hey have some fun with food!
graduate to sprouts if you like...

Recipe for Success...

2009-01-17T09:56:00.003-06:00

Know what you want...

seems silly right?

well that is it, and nothing more is required.

What????

Well if you know in great detail exactly what you want, program your self daily with it;
maybe by having a wish board to look at just before bed. Or look at it as you are rebounding by candlelight. Feel it as though you have it. Walk this way Talk this way... You will have it.

You may want to ad some action as well, but not necessary.
As Saint Francis said:
Prayer is very powerful but action is quicker.
He was building a church one stone at a time. People even came and destroyed his partial building...
He just began again; stone by stone...

By prayer alone it would have been built of course...
but in what life time?

Los Vega is a magical place - one thinks it and soon it is build in 3 D.
Dubai is like this too.
The creators know how to magnetise their ideas to attract others to help in all ways needed to bring it into this reality. Our presidents have been like this at times.

I do hope Obama can do what he seems to be able to do...
Lets see that it is done.

so lets cook some great dinner tonight...
OK, what does 'great dinner' look, taste, smell like?
what shall I create?

Know what you want ~ in detail...

Meet my friend Joyce...
She taps on her diagrammed Doll
with a laser on another one's head.

Folks actually feel this energy releasing their body blockages
and get this~
They feel better and heal faster...
amazing; really amazing.

Joyce travels to several renascence fairs around the country and does very insightful psychic readings, she even does these over the phone..

But the Ton Ren is the most amazing healing modality that I have seen.
It personally drives me crazy to hear the 'taping' on the other end of the phone - but it worked for me, when I needed a bit of help.

Listen to this shy lady interview with Colin.
and see what you think...
have you ever heard of this?
let me know...

2009-01-15T19:45:00.000-06:00

A great recipe for quinoa
If you have small sieve wash the quinoa
1 cup for 2 to 4 folks

bring 2 cups of vegetable stock to a low boil
add the quinoa,

simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

take off the heat let it stand for 5 - 10 minutes...

this nutritious, non messed with by humans -non GMO
is protein & mineral rich, easy to digest and goes with
any other vegetable or meat dish.

Tiger Swami loves it...

the bottom of the tank...

2009-01-14T22:46:00.001-06:00

when it's cold outside... best to keep our gas tanks at least 1/2 to full not less.
why? because we get water in the gas.

If we let the tank get too low we run the risk of sucking up contaminates.

Do take care of bodies the same?
lets hope so...

clean out the bowels daily too...
remember 'regular' is 20 minutes after a meal you should eliminate.

Keep you tank clean, keep your filters clean...

see the stay healthy on the radio show...

Clean your liver...

2009-01-12T20:12:00.002-06:00

why because it keeps you clean...
everything you eat goes through the liver first.
It grabs all the poisons out of your food before it can go into the blood stream.

get some good info go see the First Aid kit and the herb doc for info...
do you realise that there's an herb in the emergency rooms all over Europe
as the first aid for poison? yep

go see. Now with holidays over is the time to do a little cleaning inside you.
Many have predicted another major flue or the like epidemic that will take millions.

you can hear about you don't have to worry about this if you take control of your own health...
so...
keep it clean...

Well almost..

2009-01-11T10:31:00.001-06:00

the brightest full moon of the year!
wow did you see it? ! Spectacular...

I went to a late Christmas party last night and did really well on the food, as most brought organic goodies;
but, I did over do the cake (white sugar) by even having any...
how could I not.. it is an annual 'Kings cake' where there are goodies baked into the mix: like 3 crowns, a conductors wand, almonds ( if you get one of the nuts it is fortune for the coming year)
If you get the crown you are put in the circle of attendees an Honored as one of the 3 Kings. The recipient of the conductors wand leads all in a round of "We three Kings" great fun...gotta have that cake (and any other excuse will do too)

On the Good side - I stayed with water - small bubbles (San Pellegrino)

But even though I took a lot less than I thought - the belly preceded me.

So taking Ron's advice, I took the 3 enzymes with the food, and 3 more in the middle of the night. Then 3 more with breakfast of green drink...

OK, you caught me - yep I added more of the enzymes...

tuned out to be a good choice...

Over all I lost the focus of the conscious choice a little on the cake ( by not too much - I must say) and I will do better on this.

The full moon was wonderful...
Look for it tonight
- just after sunset I understand will be the moon rise

I did it ...

2009-01-10T07:38:00.001-06:00

I consciously controlled my food last night - 1 of 3 full moon nights...
and we went to Asian restaurant ate great souteed vegies and brown rice, with spring salad roles all was vegan.
even the soup was wonderful vegie and tofu...

so I proved to my self what we were discussing last post...
live to eat?

nope eat to live

Let food be your medicine...
what a wonderful quote

find more on the www.HolisticRadioShow.com

enjoy the day...

Full Moon Buzz..

2009-01-09T08:46:00.001-06:00

For some reason I usually want to eat heavier on a full moon

I feel the inner humming of this one coming in Tomorrow eve.

Maybe to eat more is to ground me, or something like that.

But I have a tendency from childhood to want to overeat.
In my family if you didn't eat it fast you missed out.

So I think that on a full moon my unconscious eating habits are more in control..
since the moon represents the unconscious.

Conscious conclusion:
eat consciously _ I have to plan what I eat...
and stay alert
lest it just slips my lips...

Smile a little
eat a little
Laugh a little
work a little
chew a lot...

Peace !
Bon Apatite.

Wet Noodles...

2009-01-07T16:46:00.001-06:00

Great things to beat others with to show funny disdain that is acceptable...
OK to Hiss just don't bite....

Well then there are great noodle soups...
Pastas, Noodle casseroles, even noodle necklaces...

but a good noodle soup
I like the light broth of a white miso or a veggie stock -organic of course...

put in 1/2 round of dried soba noodles, that have been cooked al dente
then top with about 8 slices of green onion tops, and cilantro.

I also would like to float a few slices of red and green medium hot peppers or
chili flakes for color and a bit of heat...

Great for cooler nights...

Cheers - Enjoy...

Hot Tea....

2009-01-05T09:46:00.003-06:00

there are many cultures in this world that Tea is a meal in itself...

Tibetan boil fresh yak milk, spices, and tea to make your spoon stand up (well it seemed so to me, anyway)

the Siberians have cracked teeth from the heat of tea cracking their cold teeth...

In India our cab driver to the Taj Mahal, keep asking to stop and eat as he was 'famished'.
We stopped at a small chi stand on the road side. They cooked all kinds of ditties too. But he just had to have the chi... Spices, milk, tea... lotsa sugar too...

I think he just had an addiction to sugar or tea or both...

I have had to detox or de-tea several times in my life; most unpleasant for me and for those around me as well.

Black tea is addicting... Coffee the same.
even the organic ones....
caffeine ties up the liver so it can't do the work it was created for and we get sick...
but of course now there are many 'report' that 'they' say take these because they are healthy -
I tell you from personal experience - BS not so... I think money is the motivator and not health.

There are many great teas around - herbal and not messed with like commercial teas.
There is a coffee I drank in Mexico where the was no buzz no acid, no high..etc.. we picked it and roasted it ourselves.
(Then we read the coffee grinds in the cup afterwords -pretty amazing things in there)

Pau Darko tea has long been known as a cancer fighter and immune builder.
Twig tea - boiled has a little buzz but is mainly healthy if buy it organic and boil it yourself...
Hawthorn berry tea is one of my favorites - good for the heart; used since Roman times.
Pero is my coffee of choice - no caffeine - with a little of pure Stevia in it - now the FDA has approved this one...(like we need their approval - but now you will see it more commercial products
Celestial seasonings has some great herbal - no caffeine teas, roast aroma, the one with the tiger on it, Candy Cane Lane - has decaffeinated green - not sure about this in large quantities but it sure tastes good...
Of course the old standbys:
Mint, Chamomile, - I personally don't like these as I have fasted on them, and they won't pass my lips now...
Love the Ginger Lemon of Yogi tea -they have a great line of tea.
In Black I love the Stash brand the best - like I said I just can't afford to do it...
Medicinal teas like
Chaparral OMG it is tough to drink it...
but I pass this on to you today:

A gold mine owner friend of mine relayed this story and walks the Arizona deserts to pick his own Chaparral (by the way Dr R Schultz was banned from his herbal practice because he kept on prescibing this to cancer cures along with red clover back in the 80' 90' s when they were banned by the FDA - they are marginally back on the FDA ok list now)

OK the story. An old mine inspector who he met was spry, bright eyed, upright, spring stepping,
again after my friend has seen him for years as a health wreck, barry able to speak and move.
He said he made and drank Chaparral tea for 30 day's and fasting too ( I beleive). He understood this tea detoxed the heavy metals he encountered from his mine inspections~ out of his body and he was alive again...

I am not giving this as a suggestion - just using it as an example to show its' legendary powers...

TEA is just a way - one way of getting at the goodies in an herb or spice.
it is a water extraction method.
There is also the organic alcohol extraction method
such as elixirs and tonics -remember the snake oil guys in the little horse drawn coaches?
and the Organic raw apple cider vinegar method...

I use the last one in making my cold and flue prevention juice
you know Garlic, onion, ginger, horseradish, cayenne, juiced fresh and along with the pulp, brown glass jarred for at least one moon cycle - fill the jar with the herbs, fill just a tab over with the cider vinegar...

I make some with herbs like Hawthorn berries but using 100 proof vodka..

It s fun... for me

Well tea...

Tea maybe just for recreation & pleasure or
medicinal or
both...
Have fun playing with them.

Oh yes I have found that OAT milk - no sugar added works best for me with Pero or others that milk is ok in. My partner prefers the Almond milk - no sugar added...
try them see which you may like...
you may like this video go to the holistic radio show click the video tab - see the cell salt one w teas in it...

Fish on the other side...

2009-01-04T07:43:00.002-06:00

use your powers of observation...
where are the fish biting?

what are you eating? Habit food or great food?
Life is so simple if we are in charge...

but many times we just give up our choices...
I just found out that viruses may not exist
did you know that the word comes from Latin and Sanskrit and means poison liquid?

I am reading a book on it right now...
It seems to say that this whole concept was invented to sell useless vaccines to the public to make money only..

The money we send to Afghanistan was purported to go not for humanitarian aid like electricity, but to feather the high level gov members foreign bank accounts - the news said.

What will the Car companies and banks do with all that money ? In an un restricted unsupervised manor?

I don't know _ and I don't care... this attitude got us into the mess...

this same attitude got us into any personal messes we may be in...
like overweight, rotten relationship, poor health etc.

simple is life - complicated are we...
if we just follow the simple recipes of life...

we can have it all...
just not all once... :-)

you want the elephant on plate all once?
to eat a lot = eat a little at one time
may be 4- 6 s a day...

and you'll be around to eat a lot over a long time...

how's that?

well if you eat a well balanced diet now, and not over eat...
divide it up into to 4-6 meals about 3-4 hours apart..

eat nada white...

and weight will drop off...

look over my 20 things to health posted here over 20 days...

have some fun daily
observe what you eat,
and when you do...

then modify it

you can apply this to all areas of your life...

Look before you leap and all that....

Loose weight....

2009-01-03T10:29:00.001-06:00

Simple really do 1 or both of these...

eat less calories
exercise more...

that's it... really simple actually...

Check out a green-drink Colin uses at his radio show
protein and nutrition both...

sounds simple it really is...
life is what is complicated

get 1 hour in sun of movement daily - before 10 or after 4 pm...
but at 30 below 0?

some things have to be re-thought out.
Like do I really want to live where electricity out means freezing?
or no trees for 6 months?

So do your best...

Have some fun daily...

Incy weency spider....

negative thinking...

well could be, or is it just being Prepared?

brown recluse that can be around anytime of the year...
unlike the fair weathered black widow...

If you should want to do something proactive...
(Pull your friend's head out of the sand too...)
check out the brown recluse spider first aid kit on Holistic Radio Show....
this is public service only - so I'll post it here...
since no government agency will tell you about this...
no one makes much money so they won't tell you about it...
and that would also admit that all that medical science can do and its
medical insurance is to cut off your foot if you get bitten...

But you...
yes.. 'YOU' can
do something help your self

email this post to them...

Arthritis no more....

2009-01-01T06:53:00.001-06:00

I post this because many requests have come in to find a method
to get over the pain of Arthritis...
If you try it do let me know your results and we will post them here...

Henry's method:

I've been healing arthritis for years using a cool air humidifier.
I recommend the $39 Hunter model at Wal-Mart
only because it has a five-year warranty.
Empty one 32-ounce bottle of hydrogen peroxide into the water container.
Once the bottle is empty, fill it twice more with tap water.
Place the humidifier at the head of the bed.
Turn it on before you go to sleep.
Turn it off when you get up.
Initially, do that three times a week on alternating nights.
After the arthritis is gone (in about a week),
use the humidifier twice a week.
A side benefit will be energy levels that go through the roof.

Free Publicity Now....

2008-12-31T09:25:00.002-06:00

These next two days are marketing gold

on the holistic radio Show..

Go get your self noticed....

Happy Day...

this is the recipe for easy success...

Party hearty...

2008-12-30T20:46:00.000-06:00

Remember as you celebrate to celebrate life...

Eat to live...

Eat and drink things that support your health,
not just get you into an altered state of time...

did I mean mind?

Recipe for Cold Day...

2008-12-29T10:17:00.000-06:00

Stay warm:

Move around...
Drink hot teas - herbal
~ginger will help get the blood to all the little capillaries...
have some great sex...

But the best is to add Cayenne pepper to your food and drink...

Cayenne will stop a heart attack in its tracks
~chase parasites out of your body.
~stop bleeding externally and internally
~this will bring circulation to everywhere
~ this will warm you up...

Start with a little pinch and work your way up...

you may like to start with the lemon drink...

juice the lemon into 8 - 10 ounces of pure water...
this can be warm water - not boiling...
put in a pinch of the cayenne...

Radiate the Glow...

Rising Sun & Moon...

2008-12-28T08:22:00.000-06:00

Both are coming higher now in the heavens...
the crescent moon will be showing up tonight or tomorrow, and the sun is heading north...
saying 'goodbye' to the New Zealanders -- but it will move slowly...

Are you moving slowly in your new direction? ah, OK, moving fast then?

Now is the time to begin.
The calendar we use in only a convenience - it doesn't move things.
The moon moves things - look at the tides if you don't think so...
ask a police man, a fire man, hospital emergency folks - they will tell what happens on a full moon...

So shift into gear...
take your first steps...

Smile and do... a little each day ...
Cheery Smiles

Sun Face...

2008-12-27T08:19:00.000-06:00

I saw a great concept of the Sunflower on Merrily's blog:
Rolling Along with Merrily yesterday.

An Old Native American Chant says:
'keep your face to the Sunshine...
and you won't see the shadows'...

~positive thinking wisdom has been around a very long time.

Master Shivananda: (from my friend Colin's Blog Tiger Swami )
KIV: Keep in View... focus on where you are going
~~then you won't get stuck where you are...

Tony Robbins related a race car driving lesson he had:
At various times -after some ground training in the pit, while driving live, water would be sprayed on the track, the car would slip unexpectedly, and my head would turn to the wall - and yep - I would hit the wall!
Each time back in the pit the Instructor would tell me "look where you want to go..."
Well after about 3 times of wall hitting, on the next time he grabbed my head
~turning it towards the track- and traveled the track..."

The Japanese invented a device called the Sunflower that tracks the sun,
then send it via fiber optics into rooms as lighting for office buildings.
Sea World used it for an exhibit in an almost black tank with a white beluga whale - I believe it was ~in San Diego many years ago...
The office building in Japan has an many year old tomato plant in the lobby (tree?)
growing under this piped in lighting, and producing tomatoes year after year...

So, on this New Moon, - the last of 2008 with the coming of 2009 what will you Focus on?

Will you take the time learn the ropes then, plan for the best? KIV ing ? preparing for health on all levels?
or will you just watch football...

plan first, football later?

Recipe for that Day:
20 - 30 minutes of Sunshine = 20,000 units for real Vitamin D...
This will cure more than you can imagine
the lack of it will cause more than you can imagine...

Listen to Joni's '2009 Predictions' the get you Sun, and plan your health.

Buffalo Stew....2 ways

2008-12-26T12:01:00.001-06:00

This one is a favorite...

take 1 pound if you are more veggie or 2 #'s for lotsa meat of
Buffalo at Whole Foods ~ it is mostly grass fed, no junk in it like hormones, antibiotics...

they are very happy to cut up good cuts, and the stew meat is great also...

Brown this for 2-3 minutes a side in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil...

Add chicken, beef or veggie stock or water. 2 cups
Add one medium onion sliced,
Add one large garlic clove,
Add 2 - 3 bay leaves.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt (sea salt of course)
Add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Add 1/2 teaspoon paprika
bring to a simmer for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Pull out the garlic, and bay leaves;
Then Add 2 or 3 de-ribbed celery stocks sliced
Add 2 or 3 large sliced carrots
Add 1 # small red new potatoes quartered
Add 6 - 12 frozen pearl onions - thawed first

Cook for 1/2 hour more...
adjust the seasoning to taste ...

Then variations:
1~Add 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley and / or 1/2 cup fresh frozen green peas -thawed first.
stir in and serve immediately...
2~Add ground red chili from Santa Fe to taste - this comes dried and frozen or liquid and frozen or grind your own... It may be mild, medium, or 'lift the lid and sit in the water' fire hot...

3~Add roasted green hatch chilies - by them roasted or do it yourself,pull off the brown & clear skin. Frozen works but not as tasty as fresh, and they seem to get hotter in the freezer. Last resort by a small can of green chilies and put it in there.

Note on the chili powder or fresh: add it in the last 1/2 hour of cooking - this is my preference...

Happy Day...healthy eating...

a Christmas Recipe...

2008-12-25T07:40:00.000-06:00

Christmas is the time of Love for me...
May I suggest this -
what ever you do today...

Add 3 tablespoons of Love...

How? Well find something that you love 3 times...

~ok Maybe baby Jesus in the manger brings joy to your heart, tears to your eyes, appreciation to your soul...

Great, take that state of heart ~ of mind ~ and feel that energy moving out from your heart, down your arm, and hands right into the spoon you are stirring your families food with.
Put it right into the pot of goodies...

~Or if you are like me, place both hands -palms facing the pot and send the energy out into the mixture...

that was tablespoon one..

2- Now repeat the process, find something else that bring up the love deep in your soul and add that to your food...

3- Once more ~ find a third aspect of Christmas which evokes love ~ this could be Santa Clause, Your Grandmother or father... anyone one or thing - heck maybe some it was the first toy train you received...
Add this to your pot too...
Do this over the time your food takes to cook...

Now:
4- All the while: simmer your food with Christmas Carols playing in the background...keep your mind in an appreciative, happy, joyous state... This is your gift to your self, and family...

~ Finally, just before you eat, offer some to God, Jesus, Great Spirit.. however you view this: this is personal ~ it your's ~ between you and God alone.
~ You may wish to offer a plate full to our fellow critters which live here with us...place a little plate, bowl of water, even alcohol - if you are drinking this too... out side for the birds and ....who ever... you may need to use some common sense on the placement of these...Birds high up, cats, squirrels, armadillos, down low... :-)

do what has meaning for you...

I know of some who even offer a plate - a place setting too, for their dearly departed ones now in spirit ~ to join in the fun, love an joy...

Call up the love in your being and add it to your food - to be enjoyed by all...

Last idea..

as you eat, think a little to of all your billions of cells,
in your own body...
receiving all this love you have added...
think of these cells as your helpers,
love them in appreciation...

Merry Christmas

(PS credit: I got these ideas from Tiger Swami on his radio show...)

Tofu Turkey?...

2008-12-23T16:28:00.000-06:00

naw...
store turkey?

don't think so... too many hormones, chemicals, sugar and ....

smoked turkey from Whole foods...
Humm....

Nope...

Ham? possibly...

Goose like in Scrooge ---
not bad but too greasy...

Luby's? hey good idea...but homey enough...

Red chili turkey?
now that's better...

Cajun turkey deep fried?
good but too much oil for me...

spiral cut honey baked ham - yum but too much sugar for me this time of year...

Christmas Tamales -vegetarian -- Yes Yes Yes !

roasted duck?
Uncle.... my favorite---
but where to get it?
I like with an orange sauce, or Bing cherries, and organic Dr Shelton duck of course...
I can order it from Whole foods - but good thing they have one - because I forgot to order it long before...

What is your favorite food this time of year?
Eat well and healthy...

take enough enzymes see that radio show interview
I have noticed that these make a very large difference for me...

Undigested foods in the body seem to cause most of our diseases.
Undigested proteins clump up the blood... make us feel like a rock
or mushy rotten log...

so, enjoy well and smart...

I'll try to remember too...

Hugs to all
and to all
a
good
night...

Know Your Audience...

2008-12-22T17:33:00.000-06:00

when communicating to groups
you would want to know who is your audience to relate to them properly.

ways to communicate:
~smile,
~facial expressions and eye positions...
~gesticulations (move your hands)
~a picture
~laughter...

use a common reference...

we know most of things...we do them automatically.
yet we never learned them in words, like a list of grammar.

So how did we learn them?
we did so by observation and mimicking or monkeying or copying...

a process called modeling - if we do so consciously
find someone who is doing what we want to
find out how they do it...
then copy them and do it...

simple? pretty much
but we need to practice...

SO the big word here in this recipe is Observe and copy.
it is not enough in this arena to know the ingredients.
but we can mimic the masters...
You be the best audience... and learn...

Hug the New Year coming
Peace to you
the HOLY Season

OM
Shalom
Amen
Ameen

Moods of the Season....Comm Class...

2008-12-21T04:18:00.000-06:00

What are the moods of the season?

well actually the same as any other day...

we just may see more variation in our friends as they get triggered by the Holidays in many different ways..

This is more on Communications:

Mood scale:

top of the sections and list is:

Gold: knowing what others want, need, and anticipating this in advance...

Green:

Exuberant, ecstatic, Joy, bliss,
happy in heart to see others happy,
peaceful, supportive of others
confident in everything including knowing your gift will be appreciated,
Knowing just what gift to buy another.
Neutral, ready for anything.

yellow:

Duty bound to buy presents... unsure, not joyful...

Anticipatory, anxious, nervous, ..."will Santa Come this year?"

unsure if they will like my present - or if I will get what I want,

"jeez what do I get them, I just can't make up my mind...?"

angry at the Holidays, jumpy "Darn holidays why do they come? I have to waste all of this time on buying presents for all these people..."

Red:

Feeling Rage at all the celebrating, and friends or relatives the world.

Untrusting, feeling the need to have revenge, dominating others,

Heavy heart, Darkness...

finally at the bottom is this:

brown:

"what holidays?"

ignoring them ~ no awareness of them, or others, shutting them out.

Moods rule most of us - unconsciously

The first step is too know where we are on the mood scale?

What mood am I in... ask yourself...

If another is stuck - just them how are you feeling?

what mood are you in ?

Just the recognition of a lower mood brings in more Truth -raising us up the scale.

the lower moods are more lies, false beliefs, ignorance, pain, bad experiences etc. etc.

**If a person is raging or revengeful, it doesn't help to lecture them, correct them, or worse:

condemn them...

If you want to help a bit ~ and you can face the darker moods...

point it out to them

You are very angry about...

you want to kill this .....

gee what would be the consequences of pulling that trigger?

Don't get into it with them if there mood is in the lower 'red zone' just point it out.

They will hate you, reject you as well until there mood rises up into the 'yellow zone'

what are the zones?

Gold zone: Like the best ball handlers - they know where the ball will be before it gets there...

a bit psychic, and the mind is out of the picture.

Green zone:

like a green light everything is go...

yellow zone:

caution, not sure, unsureness, may need help or instruction, lacks skill, knowledge..

Red zone:

stop light cannot move forward, stuck

So how to communicate with the different types of folks?

Gold zone;

drop your jaw in aweness...from the sidelines -

do get out of their way...

Green zone-

They can figure it out themselves...

you may want to ask - 'Can I help'

just give em your presence ...

yellow zone:

ask 'em whats up? How can I help you?

They may want you to do it for them...

perhaps you can figure out a way to assist them...

listen, to what they say...

maybe give them some advise or demonstrate

like if they are frustrated 'cause they can't wrap a package...

show them how, give them instructions as they go on the next one,

**red zone :

see the ** above

just add truth into the area:

you look angry....

say: "I can't help you unless you decide you want help"

if they get to I want help" they out of the red zone and into the ...

yep the yellow zone...

you cannot help anyone while they in the red zone- they are blocking everything including you...

just like a tantrum throwing kid...

you just put them in corner, or ...

until they calm down and ready to proceed or ready to ask for help to proceed.

Good luck!

to give the best presents you have to be Present...
Communciations rule # 1...

Happy Day communicating...

Celebrate...Solstice time... Yea... Sun's back....

2008-12-20T08:04:00.000-06:00

Shorter nights are coming...
well in about 3 months to the Northern Climes anyway...
More day light to walk, run, hit balls, watch em hit kick, carry balls...
but with electric lights now who cares...

Celebrate I- blow our minds ~ some by drunkenness, drugs and overeating...
then illness, missed work, yelling at the family etc...

Celebrate II - raise consciousness, meditate, share love & support, cook for others, help the poor, pray, volunteer, give blankets to needy, pay their electric or gas bill for month, make sure they have jobs...

Which recipe will you follow? I support Celebrate II...

Mental ways... mental habits will activate by Holiday triggers....
and un-inspected will 'cause you to dive into C I or C II on autopilot...

I would rather have a consciousness raising habit...
good habits are our friends...

Good thoughts are our friends...

when you need to break a negative habit or you are clogged up
fast for day or two

Fresh squeezed lemon juice ( and a little honey maybe - not if you are clogged)
in about 8 -16 ounces of water for day will help...

but if the holiday - 'my god I ate the whole thing' syndrome gets you...

see the herb doc for #1 bowl cleanse find him at the radio show

So if you are operating on autopilot - you are not communicating effectively....
Remember you need to be Present... here now...

to giove the best presents you have to be Present...
Communciations rule # 1...

keep to the good habits and even create new ones...

Celebrate the Solstice in your way...

Happiest of Holidays....

How to Avoid Rock gut....

2008-12-19T12:59:00.000-06:00

this holiday more than ever...
you may need to watch how you eat...

not so much what, but how...

what is important too

- for health no white stuff

you know white:
flour
sugar
milk

eat the organic raw stuff instead...

but how to eat it...

Your blood may turn to concrete by eating more protein than you can digest.
The solution is varied but the easiest is to have plenty of the right kind of enzymes to do the work for you... Radio interview with Ron K

I have a problem with getting enough Iron. eating the metal won't help. But what is really going on is my blood is clumping up- so what I do have in my diet won't get into play as it can't get to the blood cells. ~ solution - right enzymes.

Remember what you are feeding in your body
- you or the fungus that is rampant...

do you bloat? - fungus
get acid reflux - fungus
hypoglycemia - fungus
can't think after eating - fungus

and on and on and on ....

eat white = feed the fungus...

eat whole = feed you.
(organic, whole wheat, honey only - no sugars, sweet potatoes w/o sugar added)
eat simple:
ad lotsa kelp products for iodine - get some education on this one...

the diet is really not that simple of course as above; you may need to handle some old problems with a special diet, first.

so see the radio show more suggestions...

Love you body, love your food
to Eat a Lot = eat a little...

(you'll be around longer to eat much more)

Check the Gages

2008-12-19T08:43:00.000-06:00

Does your gage say that it worked?
Did your communication get across?

Check it ~

did the person understand?

How can you find out?

One way is to ask them to repeat back what you said...
Another is to look at their eyes, face, body ~ what does their body language tell you?
Another is to observe their actions after words...

If it doesn't' get across what do you do?
many just blame the other and say 'I told you....xxx...'
this is what happens in many relationships.
As master communicators we need to take the responsibility for both sides of the communication.
We need to make sure we got the comm across to the other effectively...
it in not their fault we couldn't articulate well,
form our thoughts well,
speak English or Spanish or...

So this is a crucial step
~to find out if we did a good job in getting across our communication.
If not just do it again in a better way...
then check it again...

If we are an actor - did the audience respond? If not, is it their fault?
We will not be paid for long if we can't learn to get it over to them effectively.
Cooks use gages too... Turkey done?
Check the gage ~ or else the hospital will check yours.

So you want a happy relationship?
Effective workers?
Buttermilk from the store? (not eggnog?)
Gain accuracy & delivery effectiveness in your communications...
Check the gages...

The ancients built elaborate structures to gage the sun's path across the heavens, measuring it's travel from the North to the South and back again...

Today - rather Tomorrow's sunrise will show the southern most point of the sun's journey:
Solstice or Winter Solstice...
A time of Celebration for all mankind's cultures...

So Happiest of the long nights (or the long days - if you live below the equator)...
Enjoy the celebration in your special way...

Comm Day ~Go !

2008-12-18T20:32:00.000-06:00

Ok now

You are ready
They are ready

GO !

deliver the communication...

in a language the other understands;
in vocabulary the other understands;
in phraseology the other understands;
in acceptable and appropriate tonality, mood, speed...

you get the idea.

You are in control of both sides of the communication game...

will you take this as playground game?
Or the super bowl game?
all these things are your choice...

Do I have to?....

2008-12-17T09:14:00.001-06:00

Yes, if you wish to be a competent communicator...
You have to get the others attention...

Baseball bat? Often joked about - often needed...

Sometimes we communicators need to break the others attention away from what they attending to...

A Waiter comes up to your table and buts in Drinks?...

(Of course the good ones, in the expensive places don't do this...)

Ripping your conversation with your date away from the right moment to ask...
well you know...

Entering is an art form- in the Orient special attention is given to the entry way...
Feng shui and all. How to great someone - presidential protocol,
meeting Elizabeth in her movie the Golden Years
did you notice the protocol ex plainer (not sure of the proper title...)
the one who told the visitor how to and when to approach the monarch in court?

NLP, made more famous by Tony Robbins, uses mirror and matching techniques....
to gain instant rapport and there by entry into the others presence gaining there attention...

match the body language positions, the facial expressions, the tonality, timber & volume of speech,
and the mood...

This permits the flow of communication easily...

some just fail at communicating like a wife who tells the husband to take out the garbage....
he of course says "OK" but is on automatic...in front of the Big Game Big TV with his buddies...
he wasn't ready...

Or tells him while he is half alseep with too many drinks in him, or on drugs...

They have to be present and alert and ready to receive the communication too...or two..

Remember it takes two to tango...

Sometimes you can gently smile and touch and say nothing...
Communicating volumes...

R U ready?
R they Ready?
next - do it...

Here yet? Ready.... set....

2008-12-16T10:05:00.001-06:00

So, good morning...

Are you hear (here) yet?

or looking through foggy eyes? still...

OK - from yesterday:

this means
~Are you 'here, present in this time and space'
~Do you know what you want to communicate?
~Have you got in a simple statement?
~Can you speak?

I had said I thought I understood be here now...
but i discovered there was so much more to it... in the classroom exercises

But I was "HERE NOW" some of the time -
If you are, lets continue with step one...

To be ready we need:
US here - YOU the one who will communicate..
and the other person (animal, spirit etc) we want to communicate to.

Next we need to know what we are going to say...
and how we are going to say it...

Actors, orators, motivational speakers, i.e. 'pro's '
actually practice what they will say and how...

Kathakali dancers of Kerala ~South India's ancient dance style...
get up at 4 am or so...
begin the yoga exercises,
then practice their dance steps like the KATA of the Karate Dojo's
repetition, with modulation and variations.

They practice intricate facial expressions to communicate the various moods to the audience...

What have you done to get ready for your communication?

This is a whole lot more than just throwing out there - 'you don't care about me!'
emotional outbursts with out practice miss there mark.
why
because the emotional one trying to communicate violated this step

They are not present in the here an now...
but in some unknown time and place of pain.
They are not even aware of the actual person in front of them...

Ok a note on presence:

If in a relationship we project onto another what we want to see and miss
who the other person actually is...(like so many therapists tell us we do)
How can communication to a imaginary person be effective?

So are we ready?
Present - check

Know what we are going to communicate? - Check

Practiced? - Check

varied the practice? - meaning did you try yelling it, whining it, slurring it,
saying it slowly like a drunk, high pitched & high speed? and many other mood modifications.

some listeners will go to sleep if you speak to slowly - others can't here what your words unless you do...
have you mastered many delivery methods?

For example a child just wakes up - can you rip off the intricate instructions for after school - or do you have to do it slowly, ?

this will come in the next step - but you have to be ready for any of these circumstances,
and be Present to know when which method is required.

Remember the Master communicator takes responsibility for both sides of the conversation...
This definitely requires Presence (being Here Nowness) and many skills...

Communicaton Essentials...

2008-12-15T11:04:00.001-06:00

let's begin our tour of Communications...

Fist we know we have to have at least 2 beings (human or animal or spirit)

Or i guess we could just talk to ourselves,

Seriously - minimum of 2 people... right?

Ok in simple terms if you have something to say....

Are you ready?

this means
~Are you 'here, present in this time and space'
~Do you know what you want to communicate?
~Have you got in a simple statement?
~Can you speak?
~Do you speak the other persons language?

Here we go
Presence: The ability to "BE Here Now" like Ram Dass told us many years ago...
But what does this really mean...

Well not thinking about your laundry when you are giving an acceptance speech...
Not thinking about what you are going to say next....
you got that all figured out all ready...

Think of some things about presence...
In the presence of the Master, King etc.
does that mean just standing near them?
In the presence of Jesus the Lion and Lamb where friends...
So with many yogi saints too... It is there Presence...
there energy field - if you have an engineering mind...

Attention is an actual energy...
"Energy flows where attention goes"
Watch the Presidential candidates giving a speech,
Where are their spouses looking? You will see they are trained to look -yep - at them ! the speaking spouse...They are not talking to their neighbor nor text messaging, filing their fingers, reading a book...
the attention in on the speaker...

If a speaker looks up at the sky what will the audience do?
Right look up at the sky...

So presence is here now...

What about Stage Presence....
An orator or actor who has this commands the audience attention...

I saw great stage play last eve on 'The Christmas Carol' Ebeneezer always watched what was going on with rapt attention and we forgot about him - but we peeked at him now and then.
He always directed our attention to the action...

Marilyn Monroe story:

As she and a lady friend approached Grumman's Chinese Theater to see a show, Marilyn
said to her friend to prove a point they were chatting about:
Watch this !
She smiled, Beamed and hundreds screamed 'there's Marilyn !
and they flocked to get her autograph...
after a while Marilyn directed her friend to 'OK, ' now watch this'
She turned off here charm,
folks simply left her alone unnoticed...

Have you ever seen a lady enter a room and all male Eyes are on her?
Ever been the date one of the guys? How did you feel?

That is a form of presence.... people can feel it...

Alright, get with Colin Ryane & do some presence exercise with him..

Check his HolisticRadioShow.com for contact stuff...

Presence is power.

do you need Marrilyn's presence to order a soup?

Maybe, you see I only drink club soda, water - if filtered, when I am out...
I don't want ice, (we need body heat in the stomach for enzymes to digest food)
so I order club soda - straight up or Sin Yellow porfavor in a Mexican restaraunt...

How many times do I get it???
about 2% of the time...
98% it comes back with ICE !!!

Another point:
I have to take responsibility for both sides of the conversation...
To get what I want...

So I have to be present, not drunk, asleep, in the middle of thought with my partner etc...

I have to be " Here"

OK there is a whole lot more to this section
we have just looked at... more than I ever thought possible..

so if you think you know what I am talking about -
you may be like me and think that you do - I know I did
I had lots of false ideas about being here - Heck I thought I was

but i can't give you a hair cut ove the phone, or in writting.....
see Colin ...

More on this tomorrow...

OK Communications...101

2008-12-14T07:26:00.000-06:00

Well I know that...

Yes, That is what we are led to think.

I just put some words out and the other person will magically know what I am saying... right?

Well simple If I ask for a fork... the will understand? come on now right?

Well what if the other only speaks Russian and you only speak Spanish, German, and English?

well...OK, then, I could use sign language...

Now you are getting it...

Even in very simple forms of communication there's a lot of skill going on.

How is it that an older brother may say to his younger brother - go get a shovel...
and the younger balks...
But Dad says it or Mom says it or his girl friend asks and .... right away - "here's the shovel"

so what are the many factors of communication?

My friend Colin Ryane of Tiger Swami teaches courses in this. Colin asked if I would be interested in posting the basics here in my blog. So over the next 10 days before Christmas I will do just that. So that it may be useful during this season of giving...

We will explore why some can command and some can't even be heard...
How a Lover may request certain pleasures, and make the difficult things between them heard, understood, accepted, so both may grow..

How can one move the masses...
Looking at the Presidential candidates
they all move the masses well, but enough...? one did..

Communications is a skill, to be learned and mastered.

Did your parents communicate well?
Persuasion is a form of communication not communication.
Poetry, art, drama, photography, all are forms of communication.
The Masters of these are highly celebrated.

Did you have a grand master communicator as a friend, parent or teacher?
da Vinci did.

If not I suggest your communication skills are lacking what they can be...

Do you argue or fight? Your communication skills could be better...

Can you modulate your Moods, body language, tonality, speech patterns, quality to match anther's? Did you know you even could do this?

First and foremost is simple are you HERE? or half asleep?

We will explore this one first tomorrow...

This will be a recipe for effective communication...
After all an effective cake - if this is your outcome requires we follow a recipe -even if it is our head.
So we will need to follow one for communication to
- if your outcome is effectively to convey your idea....

Pass the fork please,
Thank you !.

Love Yourself...20 of 20

2008-12-13T06:58:00.000-06:00

OK last one, or is it?

'Love thy neighbour as Yourself!' We all know this one...

There is a presupposition here; the need to love your self first...

While none of the 10 Commandments nor Christs interpretation of them mention this directly...
it is powerfully implied...

OK lets say you are FAT ! and you think this is horrible...
OK.
Who got you that way? I know some folks who work their as... off trying to change this with diet and this and that and Dr.s and can not get the pounds off.

OK.

But if you hate your body what are you telling your subconscious to do?
put on more weight right? Subconscious says, 'well she (he) wants to hate herself so we better put on more weight!'

Look there is only now or NOW or "NOW" there never will be then, or when I...
there's only now...

If you love yourself now you will love yourself when you ....

Remember the great Sages song:
'I am not this body...
This body is not mine
I am witness of 3 states
Knowledge absolute...'

(got this off Tiger Swami a while back)

you are YOU !
but this is a different story...

Loving yourself, puts all kinds of things into motion.
Your companion self (you may call it subconscious - but it is way more than that)
will release all wonders of science into your blood stream, endorphins and on and on ...

so what do you have to do Love yourself?

Many paths, and professionals are there
(See the HolisticRadioShow.com they have quiet a few interviewed over there)
But there are some basics to life that public school neglects to 'teach' you or inform you etc.

so you need all of the 20 items we have looked to be in balance and be creative...
lets look at this in review:

1- You need a target- something to look forward to work towards...
~A green world
~To avenge a wrong
~A cause to support
~To support a person, or family, or community
~To run around the block, a marathon, just ride a bike.
~ Became a fireman, lawyer, doctor, just graduate...

What ever it may be you need goals or if you prefer a target...

2- You need a coach to help you get there...
~ A book, tape, CD, or real person
3- You need a plan...

4- You need to remove any obstacles that may be in your way
~Internal emotional blockages...

In simple you need to create something, build something...as you do you will gain amazing self respect...

So stop doing all the things that hurt yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually...
and do more of the things that will benefit you... m. ph, e, & spiritually...
create more good things you like... create less that you don't like...

You are creating all the time.... why not make what you like and be conscious of it...

You Are the POWER

More Sex?... 19 of 20

2008-12-12T09:43:00.001-06:00

More Sex

many people do want more sex, and a healthy sex life is fun, invigorating, gets the interest going and more...
The Movie: "Like Water for Chocolate"
explores this wonderfully..

But not everyone wants more... some folks are just naturally celibate.

If you think you are too old - guess again...
you may need a mental adjustment

Beleifs can influence more than you know...

~ I am too: OLD, Ugly, Disfigured, broken, undeserving, and on an on...

Check out the book ESO
and Tantra Yoga:
The 'Conscious Art of Loving' by Charles and Caroline Muirs tapes, courses,
www.sourcetantra.com This is a subject that really needs education in our society.

Many folks think that they know all about sex.
more than 50 of women say they don't have orgasms...

Some don't have them until they are 45 or 75 or? but you can...

There's a great device out there using rife tech to help open this area as well.
email me if you want info on this...

Did you know there something called Sacred Sex?

Even just soft touching (or hard - if that is what you like) and back rubbs can be wonderfuly, connecting.

Let your body enjoy

trash you negative beleives...

This is about respect on all levels...
This is about fun and health on all levels.

This is about your health on all levels...

Have fun exploring !

Cheery day...

Listen to Yourself...18 0f 20

2008-12-11T09:28:00.000-06:00

What do you say to yourself?

What is the chatter in your own head?

Eves drop for a change on your own inner conversations...

when you find it negative things like:
-'I don't deserve to be promoted"
-"they don't like me"
-"I'm just a rotten person"

adjust it a little bit...

just ad the phrase "today"

and Say "I can do better"

once you get up to that phrase

add things like:
~"People just love me"
~"Everyone loves to send me money"
~"Deserve the best today"

no if you know you have been a creep -then change your creepy ways.
go and make up or at least apologize to person you creeped on...

Be honest with yourself first,
decide how you will improve, change etc.
develop a plan to make those changes (change bad habits,take a class, get pro help etc,)

What is your body telling you? Look in the mirro
~What do you see.

~ are you Standing up straight? Smiling?
~If not Do so, stretch a little...

do you know that if you change your posture you will change your mood?

Did you know that you were not your mood? did you know you can change it?
some people don't...

Take a look at tiger swami's posts... "I am not this body... I am witness of 3 states...

Listen in and take notes
make adjustments
these you will find are mental habits or rather just cd playing over an over in your own head.
re-record it!

Happy day...

Help Others.... 17 of 20...

2008-12-10T08:17:00.000-06:00

Be on the look out

have your antennas up:

for someone who may need help today...and daily!

Help them out...

you may not have to go far out your way...

But what ever time you take, when you give to another who can't give back...

You feel good inside, your heart opens a bit more.. a little more of the Christmas Season creeps in..

Make this a year long daily joy, more than just this Holiday time...

Happiness is ....

Not what others do for you... but what you do for others...

Love Life... 16 of 20

2008-12-09T11:08:00.001-06:00

Loving Life is obvious for those that do...

But there are many with pain of various kinds
Who may not...

Whether the pains are physical, mental, spiritual, or financial
they do cause stress. As this is written 10 million people are about to be foreclosed on:
November 2008 brought over 1/2 million unemployed.

So if you hate life your subconscious will bring you more of what you focus on...

You may need professional help here. Psychologists, yoga teachers, One Command (C), massage, financial planners, etc....

But you are in control of your inner attitude...

You have the reins of you life in your own hands...

will you crash the sleigh? or deliver your presents?
Your choice...

If ill, do all 20 of this list daily,
Get into the Sun for 20-30 minutes daily, or see the Vitamin D Council recommendations on Google.
This will bring you out of depressed spirits...

read the next 4 items they will help.

the best thing to do here is to seek gratitude...
Look around you
find something you love, like, appreciate...
touch it...
state what is you like about this....
smile at it...

take another one....look around they are there....

do this 3 times a day ~ lift your spirits...
don't drown with spirits or drugs either
this actually lets in the corrupt spirits ... no joke here...

either you are in charge or you leave the door open for a creep to be in charge of you and your family and friends...

So Love Life

yell: "I LOVE MY LIFE"

I LOVE MYSELF
