According to statistics, most adults consume about 130 pounds of sugar each year, which is equivalent to 6-oz glass full of sugar. Sugar as most of us are unaware of, are found not only in sugar rich or sweetened foods but are also found hidden in processed foods. Hence, if most of the foods ...
I hear the same story time and again; “the kids liked me until I married their father.” So why is it that marriage often serves as the trigger, transforming once charming children into sullen stepkids? Many parents mistakenly believe that because the children are happy about the courtship that they will be happy about the marriage. They’re surprised to find that the kids no longer want step-mom-to-be included in family outings or special occasions. It’s likely that in the beginning you did things for your spouse’s kids hoping that they would like you.
Human Relationships can be enlightening and supporting but can also cause drama and trauma. This is also and especially the case of male-female relationships. You can see such a relationship as a special kind of interaction where two different physiologies and two different biological strategies meet. They come from a different origin and they aim at a different target but meet at a crossroad.
I want to start by telling you what I am not. I am not a new age guru, I hate those guys. I think they are phony, pompous, and banal. Nor do I believe in religion, astrology, fortune telling, or crystals. For the most part I look to science for answers to my deep questions not religion. The point Iâm making is I am not your typical tarot enthusiast. n I am not ashamed to admit that tarot has become an important tool of self exploration. Tarot has given me a deeper understan
Did anyone ever say something to you that you found offensive? What did you do: walk away in a huff ... talk back to him or her ... "stand up" for yourself and then feel lousy later? Take the "high road" and feel crummy later? How about lying awake at night, rehearsing all of the better things you could have said ... smarter things you should have said ... or plotting the really good comebacks that you will lay on the offensive party next time you get the chance?
I know I shouldn't be surprised. \ It makes perfect sense when you think about it. \ Yet I can't help being surprised and thrilled when I get the message, for the umpteenth time, that when you're connected to Source, when you're plugged in to your Guidance, there's always MORE and MORE and MORE ... even if
People with homosexual or bisexual orientations have long been stigmatized. The same is the case for those who are gender non-conforming or who feel their assigned at birth sex or gender does not match their true selves. Heterosexism is a term used to describe the belief that heterosexuality ...
Did you ever get a "good" chill(s) energy surge most usually through music which shot through the top of your head down through your body? Most people have. Recently I wrote about my initial questions to people as to what did they thought it was? While I believe the chills phenomenon is universal, I next wondered what people of different religions would say. I just asked what do you think the chills a person gets from time to time is? Hopefully you will find the responses interesting and enlightening. Oh, I start with an atheist, even though atheism is not a religion, I believe.
FOR MORE THOUGHTS FROM THE SUCCESS ARCHITECT FOLLOW BILL ON TWITTER! visit www.twitter.com/coachbillnelson I have always believed that the strength of a team is the team itself. The people within the team, between them pretty much determine the success or otherwise of the team. Each individual brings a particular strength to the team and for that matter no doubt a particular weakness.
YOUR HIGHEST DREAMS This is a moment in the universe when the highest dreams are possible. This is a moment in the universe, when awakening and transformation are possible. To bring about a great transformation, a critical mass of energy must be present. This critical mass may be of consciousness or matter or momentum, yet it is a propulsion towards a shift. You and your planet are moving toward that critical build-up of energy where a new shift in consciousness is very possible. We, in the Akashic, have seen this momentum before.
I learned about the destruction of Pompeii back in Grade 10 in 1954 when I was translating the ancient Latin text by the writer, Pliny, about the eruption of the volcanic mountain, Vesuvius, and the subsequent burial of the town. The devastation unleashed was the equivalent of a nuclear holocaust. From that time forward, Pompeii became embedded in my imagination and acquired the dimension of a legend. One time my wife and I had the privilege of visiting Pompeii when on a trip
Food, without it there is no life! It affects the chemicals in your brain; these chemicals are called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters control many of the bodies’ functions including mood, appetite, thoughts, feelings and indeed our behaviors.
In Memoriam: Alice Miller One of the great advocates of children and their struggles against unrecognized mistreatment has died. “Alice Miller, a psychoanalyst who repositioned the family as a locus of dysfunction with her theory that parental power and punishment lay at the root of nearly all human problems, died at her home in Provence on April 14. She was 87” (New York Times, April 26, 2010). “The author of a dozen books, Miller was best known for her first endeavor, 'The Drama of the Gifted Child and the Search for the True Self.'

“ For Giving” : Giving back negative energy and reclaiming our personal power after abuse. Too often, when wrongs are committed against us we are advised by experts, friends, and family to enact forgiveness. Forgiveness is indeed one of the most powerful things we can do as we walk the path of healing and self growth. But, what exactly is forgiveness? And, how do we enter into the act of forgiveness without reopening old wounds and exposing ourselves to more hurt. I have pondered these questions often in my life.
Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Indira Gandhi, Ted Bundy. What did they all have in common: Sanpaku!! What is it? When we’re born, our eyes are perfectly balanced between the upper and lower eyelids. They touch so no white shows below or above the iris. It indicates a balanced and healthy person. As we grow older, even in childhood, three-sided white can show around the iris. This is cause for concern. It indicates the nervous system is seriously out of balance. It’s a warning.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, yes? “Thoughts become things” is a popular saying today. But here’s the thing … this is especially true for those of us with heart-centered businesses.

And here’s the most important thing … it’s one thing to get the Law of Attraction on an intellectual level and it’s a whole other thing to really have this energy working for you and bringing you the business success you desire.
The term âpinched nerveâ is somewhat of a catch-all phrase that is commonly used to describe the pain associated with a variety of conditions from subluxations, to tunnel syndromes to the referred pain from trigger points. Most of the time, what is called a pinched nerve is actually an irritated, or inflamed nerve where the nerve itself is not actually pinched. In most cases, nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints or muscles of the spine are not in th
Forgotten computer passwords, belated birthday cards, mismatched shoes – they can make you wonder if your brain has turned to mush. Or maybe you have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)! Today’s frenzied world is a breeding ground for ADHD-like behavior, but for 95% of us those tendencies evaporate when life settles down. For the other 5% - more than 11 million adults worldwide - life never settles down. Frenzied is normal. And it drives them (and the people around them) crazy.
All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms, Then, the whining schoolboy with his satchel And shining ...

If you are drawn to spiritual growth, you are no doubt “sensitive.” And as we pursue these paths and practices, our sensitivity will certainly grow: sensitivity to our own feelings and “energy” ... and sensitivity to the world around us. This sensitivity is of course a strength, as we need it for our compassion and for connecting with ourselves and others. It is also a great power, as we cannot hope to properly address a thing (internally or exte ally) until we become aware of it.

What you already "know" is keeping you from discovering what is possible. There is a story about a college professor who is interested in learning about Zen that demonstrates this idea:
Have you ever felt like people are getting on your last nerve? In one of his most famous poems, "Mending Wall," Robert Frost wrote, "Good fences make good neighbors." Frost's line suggests how essential it is for you to set firm boundaries with others, both personally and professionally, if you want to be successful. Boundaries are integral to your success because they demonstrate how much you value yourself and how much you value others.

Okay. I admit it. I am a “research junkie”. I know. I know. I’ve been “doing” and teaching facial exercises for well over a decade …. and ….. I’ve found lots of “scientific” evidence for how and why facial exercises work so well besides the obvious results. That is anyone performing a well-rounded facial exercise regime will take 5 to 20 years off their appearance and they will look more natural and rejuvenated than any surgery or procedure can ever give to the face and neck.
Many victims of narcissists are firmly convinced that they have bee "chosen" by their abusers because of their capacity to empathize, their innate sensitivity, compassion, and their ability to love and care. Indeed, these qualities tend to attract exploitative psychopathic predators who leverage these human emotions to their advantage. "Classical" narcissists, however, are actually repelled by such displays of contemptible "mushy" frailties. They regard natural born empaths a

For many of us trust is not necessarily an easy thing. It can be a big word - loaded with disappointments and few happy memories. We hesitate when we are faced with the desire or need to trust someone and are not comfortable when they trust us. We fear what may happen by making ourselves that vulnerable and then we worry and obsess about it. Many of us feel trust is impossible and in fact we have taken a vow never to trust certain relationships and situations ever again. We can’t imagine allowing that kind of pain to hurt us in the future.

Tis' the season for a little .... detox. Heavy foods, lots of imbibing, and a constant parade of opportunities for the two makes for a sometimes great desire to detox. I get a lot of patients who ask about cleansing and detox, and many who have done some heavy duty liquid versions combined with colon cleanses, meditation, yoga, etc. This (what I am about to share) is not any of that. It is an eating cleanse, based out of Ayurvedic (known sometimes as kitchari) and TCM theory, designed for someone who is working and quite simply : needs to eat!
Sometimes you will hear the terms hydrosol and spritzer used interchangeably which is incorrect and misleading. Although true hydrosols are the original true floral waters (or herbal waters), be aware that any product sold as a "Floral Water" may or may not be a natural product. The term floral water could refer to a true distillate, but is just as apt to refer to a product containing nothing but synthetic fragrances in a chemical base.
