In 2011 I unwittingly joined the ranks of a not so elite group of people who suffer from depression, an incredibly misunderstood condition. Coming from someone diagnosed with the formerly “pretend” disorder of fibromyalgia, that says a lot.
Everyone is aware now that December 21st, 2012 marks the end of the Mayan calendar. Not only has this information become mainstream; it has provoked apocalyptic fears, doomsday books and films, and even triggered outbreaks of panic in Russia and France, as reported in a recent New York Times article. It has also brought much joy and hope to those, like me, who don’t believe that 12/21/12 will mark the end of the world, but the beginning of a New Earth, a new humanity, and—if you’ve watched my brief video about this—freedom from the prison-like 3rd dimension on this planet.

Sciatica is a painful condition that can restrict your normal life. Finding the root cause for the occurrence of sciatica pain is necessary to provide the right treatment. Many people interpret sciatica pain as a simple low back pain. However, the condition is different from a regular ache in the lower back. The sciatic nerve is the main nerve transmitting sensory functions from the lower spine all the way down to the feet. Pain occurs when the nerve root at the end of the sp
written by Pauline Derby, EFT-CC IMAGE HEALING HYPNOSIS It’s alright to FEEL anger. It’s perfectly NORMAL to feel hurt and upset or rejected, even betrayed. What’s NOT ALRIGHT is to allow your anger or sadness to devour you or leave you feeling dejected or devoid of power, energy, and spirit. Some of us FEAR anger and DENY sadness. We smother our emotions, scared to feel too much. (If we felt them with all their magnitude, could they take us over?) In actuality, emotions can only hold the power that we assign to them! On their own, they are only words.

Some couples tend to look at other marriages and think that they’re fairytale romances: the couple they idolize is happy, healthy, never has anything wrong with them, and seems to have everything going for them. Behind the scenes, however, every relationship has its challenges and is arguably far from perfect.
Mae West - known for her wit and double entendre - said "too much of a good thing can be wonderful," but for the rest of us, "too much of a good thing" tends to be a confusing situation. It’s Autumn and the ground beneath our apple tree sports an abundance of fallen apples. The deer, ...
When I got my job with AT&T in 1982 my father told me I was set for life. His generation really admired Ma Bell as AT&T was called. Having lived through the Depression job security was very important to my father. I was pleased my father was happy for me but I wasn't quite sure I wanted a "life sentence". Maybe a whole new generation of people today will be looking for that same job security based on the recessions we have been through in the last 10 years. Unfortunately it may be hard to find. Business Week recently had a cover story entitled The Disposable Worker.

Here's a different way to look at our stress. What if we could see it as the stressed naughty child inside of us that clambers for our attention? Long ago this child was born inside us, often as a result of a difficult event in our little susceptible young minds. We might have matured as adults, but some part of us is stuck in the past, creating that pattern of thoughts, emotional tension and behaviour.
Social media, cloud computing, mobile computing, real-time Web, and real-time & local search are some of the core areas predicted to be game changers for small businesses.

People have been drinking tea and using it for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. In recent years we have seen more research being done on the benefits of tea for our wellbeing and the results are confirming many of the traditional uses. There is a long way to go before we see a greater number of studies completed, but it should not be a reason for us to delay enjoying a delightful cup of tea and reaping the benefits. Green tea and black tea are most commonly thought of when we mention tea drinking and many studies are done on them specifically.
Hundreds and thousands of men have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in one year. More than 30,000 deaths were reported as the outcome of the mentioned statistic. Traditional drug success rates were approximately 20 to 30 percent only. The majority of traditional drugs have been proven to have harsh side effects. One in two men will develop BPH before age 59. This rises to nine out of ten men by their 85th birthday. Sex therapists approximate the depletion of sexual desire
The single thing you'll be able to count on a lot of people realizing omega-3 omega3 and digestive function is the fact using fish-oil products sometimes brings about bad burps plus propane.

I don't know how to say this any clearer: But most people are lazy. (Not you, of course, I am talking about other people who are reading this article.) And being lazy is part of human nature. A body at rest; stays at rest… a body in motion yada, yada, yada… Anyway, the reaso I am asking is that I want to know what you are doing today towards reinventing yourself? I know, you have family commitments… work commitments… people tugging at you… and all you have want to do sometimes is to be left alone so you can work on what's vital to reaching your goals.
When it comes to feeling connected to other people and having a sense of being understood, it is vital that one is not only honest with themselves about what they are going through, but that they are honest with others to. Now, this is going to be more relevant with the people that one is closest too, such as: friends, family, colleagues and their partner. One is not going to be able to experience this level of openness with everyone that they come across in life.
Being a good listener makes you a strong communicator. When I was in direct sales, I became one of the top leaders on our North American team, I think because I was 100 percent committed to, and diligent in achieving my daily goal: to conduct 50 cold calls per week day. As a result of my dedication and success, I was recognized by my team leader and even the #3 income earner within this international company, specifically for having strong phone communication skills. During calls, I would do most of the listening, not most of the talking, as you may have expected me to say.
I have a habit of meditating the minute I wake up in the morning. I always begin by giving thanks to the universe for the many blessings and gifts in my life.

I play tennis about four times a week. One of the guys I play with, always starts the day by tossing the ball to make his serve and announcing, “Enjoy, gentlemen!” I usually reply with, “Thanks Jon. I’m rooting for you to come in second.” (Unless, of course, Jon is my doubles partner.) Our tennis pro once pointed out that, “Someone is happy with every shot.”

If you are able to transform your desire into more of an obsession then you will have no difficulty in convincing your subconscious mind that you are indeed very serious and will achieve your goals, dreams and desires.r
THE POWER OF TOUCH “There’s no such thing as too much hug!” — Winnie the Pooh How many times a day do you hug your family, spouse, or children? Once? Twice? Never? The power of touch is grossly underrated, undervalued, and underutilized in today’s world. We are energetic beings in a constant flux of creating, radiating, and receiving energy. We crave energy in the form of love and touch. The lack of feeling and being loved is the number one reason why people have addictions.
The most spiritual people I know don’t have to talk about spirituality to be spiritual. I sense them in the moment and their focus inspires me. I used to go to philosophical geniuses to satisfy that thirst, but now I find it in the people I love. Their expression of the heart directly talks to my heart without my intellect and associations intruding. It is as if I don’t exist when I am with them. Now that is a special gift. When I focus on my thoughts and intellect that is ho
At first glance the law of attraction might sound like some sort of simple âpositive thinkingâ scheme. But a deeper look into this mysterious law shows it has some physical substance to it, and its not as âairy-fairyâ as people might make it out to be. Further yet, there are some interesting success stories revolving around it. But if you are like me, you might have lost hope in the law of attraction before it had time to take affect. I have to admit that I am startin

Whether you're happy, sad, angry, creative, stressed or something else entirely, it all ultimately comes down to your neuroscience. The wiring and chemistry of our brains is what defines our every experience and our every behavior and as such, the best way to understand any aspect and unravel of the human experience is to look inwards towards the brain.

Metamorphosisr Creating Healthier Relationships and Greater Well-Being by Cindy Silverlock (c) Metamorphosis is a unique perspective born from the observation that we have never changed our underlying patterns of tension. We have been creating illness, conflict and war from the beginning of time. We cure one illness, we create another. We end one conflict, we create another.
In order to remain as independent as possible and to minimize the disruption of daily life, consider changes to your daily routine and surroundings. For example, doing normal activities can be quite painful. Activities such as walking, taking the stairs, squatting, sitting for long periods, and getting in and out of vehicles become a challenge. Every patient and their family should assess their daily surroundings and prioritize the modifications needed. This can help the patient maintain their independence and function.
Getting into the best shape of our lives is not easy. Diet and exercise is the bane of existence for many Americans. For some, getting in great shape is a far-reaching goal, at least when one is trying for fitness without any guidance or training. To have just the discipline alone is difficult, but what about all the background knowledge and problem solving? Where does one start when trying to lose “love handles” or if you’ve tried everything and nothing works? While the Internet provides a plethora of resources, application of said gained knowledge can be challenging.
What is an adult? While we may argue about what a "Man" or "Woman" is, there is remarkable agreement around the world on the subject of Human Adulthood. An adult takes responsibility for his or her actions and emotions.

YES, I WAS HURT BY MY FAMILY, but they were hurting too, poor things! This is a phrase I’ve heard over the years, & it always makes me mad. You may at first think this post is harsh or unfair, BUT please remember that everything our parents were - WE internalized into our Negative Introject. As long as we deny how harmful their actions were toward us - we will continue doing the same to ourselves, mistreat others AND be mistreated as well! (see posts on ‘The Introject’ & ‘Self-hate’). What does this phrase mean?r
There are people who suffer very much in their lives, while other people suffer only sometimes. The explanation for this phenomenon is given by Carl Jung’s psychological types. Jung discovered that each person inherits a predetermined psychological type that shapes their personality. Each psychological type has a predominant psychological function. This means that each person tends to judge their reality and act based on only one psychological function. We have four psychological functions, which are based on: *Thoughts *Feelings *Sensations *Intuitions
<cite>"Tout est question d'equilbre" It is a question of balance. - Mireille Guiliano (1946-) French American Author </cite> One of the reasons the French are so well known for their slim figures is because they walk everywhere. They also take their coffee black and never eat between meals. If there is one thing I've learned in France, it is never to eat walking down the street. The frowns, the fingers pointing, and the embarrassment are too much.
We all have so much to offer. We are all born with sacred gifts and special qualities that are meant to be shared with the world. When we are young, these gifts flow easily and pour out of us. We sing, we dance, we play - we share our talents with anyone and everyone who will listen. And even if they won't - we don't let that stop us. We are simply living our purpose and sharing our gifts.

Some time ago I posted an article on Water/ Hydration on a site called Qondio, and this is an updated version of that article. How often are we told how important water is to us, and how often do we tell ourselves that we really should drink more water!! And yet in most instances we simply do not do so. Why, our busy lifestyles, the Western habit of eating and drinking on the run rather than the more social 'sitting and sharing of a meal' and the accompanying fluids that many cultures follow, and often simply because other 'things' taste better than water.!

Rituals are actions that are performed which “act out” thoughts produced from beliefs, myths or ideas. Rituals are important because they provide us with opportunities to enhance our experiences as individuals and as a society. Rituals accomplish this by adding meaning to circumstances which goes beyond that which separate actions add up to. This is because the actions and symbols, attached to rituals, operate to stimulate emotions and senses. As a result, through rituals, we can more effectively achieve desired outcomes.
I’ve just spent a couple of days with a client here in the French Alps – someone who regards his personal development as of paramount importance in his life, someone who has altered his daily routine, going to bed one hour earlier to ensure that he has an extra hour each morning for meditation. He has been regularly meditating for up to an hour each morning for the last two years. The benefits? His health and fitness have greatly improved.
