ARTArticleAre YOU addicted? Taking back controlThere are six stages that a person typically passes through in order to make lasting changes that eliminate harmful habitual, obsessive, or addictive behavior.
Before you think, "Harmful behavior? That doesn't apply to me," reflect for just another moment. Nicotine, prescription drugs, repeatedly checking your phone for messages, obsessing over your weight--dependency takes many forms. Is there anything in your world that you feel compelled to think about, do, or consume regularly?ARTArticleAromatherapy and Yoga for Holistic Healing; My Personal Journey with,"Graves" (Thyroid Disease)My journey with “Graves” disease started over 18 years ago I was just into my second trimester of pregnancy when I had a late, (after 12 weeks) unexpected miscarriage. A miscarriage after 12 weeks is not so common so my doctor decided to run a few test. It was then I was diagnosed with “Graves” disease.
I did my research and found out that, “Graves” disease is an auto immune disorder in which the thyroid over produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones putting the body into a chronic state of “overdrive”.ARTArticleAspects of Energy / The Three Treasures of Eastern MedicineThe eastern mindset on healing is circular and multi-dimensional. The goal is to see the bigger picture of health. To treat the body, mind, and spirit as an inseparable whole. Eastern healing is based on the balancing of energy within the body. This includes the meridians, which flow like rivers and streams of energy throughout the body, connecting all the parts and pieces as well as the vortexes of energy known as the chakras. The different aspects of energy within us are known as the three treasures; Ki, Jing and Shen.ARTArticleAtopic Eczema Live through itAtopic eczema is apparently the most common type of eczema. I disagree.
Eczema is a chronic disorder, where the skin erupts due to itching, followed by scratching this leads to, the skin becoming scaly or oozing blisters.
It is written tha
Atopic eczema is due to a hypersensitive reaction. But surely, all types of eczema are due to an allergic reaction to something or other. In my option, it leads, to long term psychological trauma. What else can you call it? Suddenly eczema begins to spread at an alarming speed throughout the body.ARTArticleAwareness the key to EnlightenmentAwareness is probably the most powerful tool that you have to progress in your quest for understanding. Awareness is primarily the tool of the unconscious and the universe, and the ego can also use this tool. Simply put, awareness is just being aware, that’s all. Too often we bypass awareness and presume, criticize, judge and apply meaning and when we do this, we create an artificial reality, an illusion. In fact most of our lives are illusions. Awareness is staying still in the moment and when we become aware of something. Stop and stay there. Stay in awareness.ARTArticleBack Pain and Your WorkoutsWe all know the benefits from exercise. Unfortunately, there may be times that your workouts may be leading to back pain. If you find your workouts are leading to back pain, then you can try these tips.ARTArticleBest Abs Workout to Get Six Pack AbsYou've ever seen people with a charming figure, six pack abs, and great looking.

Sure there is, but it might not be what you're thinking.
I am an advocate for regular, daily exercise, if at all possible.
Daily exercise helps us in so many ways. Folks who exercise on a daily basis will often tell me that they sleep better, they have more self confidence, more energy, feel better in the clothes that they wear and they are often much better at achieving and maintaining weight loss, than those patients who do not exercise as regularly.ARTArticleBut what if you could see a different approach to dieting that really works?Did you know that according to American researchers 95% of dieting efforts fail after one year?
I suggest that you ask yourself the following questions, and please do answer them honestly: have you succeeded in losing weight by following these diets? Have you reached the weight goal you set out for yourself?ARTArticleCan the mind Heal cancer?Can you cure cancer using the mind?
The answer is yes, but first we need to understand what cancer is. Cancer is a word or a label and when we use it, we recall our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions about cancer and what it is. It is easy to think when you are talking to another person about cancer, that we both know what cancer is and we both have the same perceptions.
We can see that cancer is a disease and it can lead to death, now this statement is true but it leaves out much vital information and this information is necessary to heal cancer and be cancer free and healthy.ARTArticleCan We Be Social Without Going Out to Eat?A good time that doesn’t involve eating
I hadn’t seen him in years even though we live in the same town. You know how it is, I’m busy, so is he. Time got away from us. It’s not like we had a disagreement, or we didn’t want to see each other; it’s just that, well, life kicked in…
I answered the phone, “Hey Scott,” says he, “I just realized that we haven’t gotten together in a long time and we’ve got so much to catch up on. I thought we could schedule a time.”ARTArticleCan You Afford NOT to Change Your Relationship with Food?I followed up with a prospective client recently. She'd contacted me because she was struggling with "heartbu
and GI problems." In our initial conversation she revealed "I think a lot of what I am feeling its wrapped up in depression and anxiety. I am stressed out more by being uncomfortable. Our conversation really helped me see that I can't do this on my own and there are not a lot of people I can lean on for support without out feeling completely embarrassed by some of my issues being verbalized.ARTArticleCan You Break Free From Your Overeating Disorder?The short answer to the question posed by the title is a resounding: "Yes!" You can overcome an overeating disorder. Binge eating, bulimia and other problems are not genetically programmed into some people.
Of course, the old saying here — easier said than done — is definitely true. To break that cycle, to somehow find the combination of willpower, good advice, and X-factor to stop overeating is not easy.ARTArticleCancer – is change necessary?When one has cancer, they may have as their greatest desire – to not have cancer, fight the cancer etc. This is interpreted by the unconscious mind as they want to lose the cancer and therefore lose what cancer means. That is, they want to lose the problems caused by cancer and be as they were, before they received the diagnosis.
Can you see the problem with this?ARTArticleCardio...Why Should I?We’ve all heard the term “Cardio” training…but what exactly is it and WHY should I do it?
Haven’t you always wanted to feel “less tired” or “have more energy” or just be able to “get more done”? Instead of pounding down diet Cokes or coffee for the extra energy, a little consistent cardio will do the trick!ARTArticleCelebrating Life Vs Avoiding DeathWhen one first gets a diagnosis of cancer, they enter a state of shock, for cancer literally means dying for most of us. More people die of heart disease than cancer but cancer has much more fear attached to it, thanks to the plethora of misinformation around. To many, cancer means a death sentence. So if you get shocked by a diagnosis of cancer, it means that you automatically presumed that you were going to die. Now we are all going to die but it is not death that actually scares us so much, it is the premature death that we fear, dying before our time.ARTArticleCholesterol and Heart DiseaseAre you someone who just loves fatty foods? If so, then you may be setting yourself to be someone who just may be a candidate for some heart related problems. Studies have shown the relation of cholesterol and heart disease. Taking the necessary steps to avoid cholesterol and heart disease are necessary to avoid being another statistic.ARTArticleChoose Sprouted Grain Breads Instead!!I LOVE bread…and one of the behaviors I have chosen to adjust to maintain my weight and improve my health…is to reduce the amount of foods that I eat containing “enriched” white flour. I have made the switch to whole grains and sprouted grains! (Maybe not 100% switch...more like 70 %!) Try it…I think you’ll be surprised. It’s easier than you think to make the switch! If I can do it…you can do it!ARTArticleCome Discover Your Best Binge Eating TreatmentBinge eating disorder is a compulsive behavior in which someone habitually eats far more than they need. It goes well beyond simply the normal cravings we all have for goodies or snacking between meals. It's a serious illness. Fortunately, there are effective treatments.
Binge eaters continue to gorge themselves long after normal hunger pangs have subsided, long after they feel full even. Yet, the person feels helpless to stop. No amount of guilt stops them.ARTArticleCommonly used herbs at homeCommonly used herbs at home.

Shifu Michael Rinaldini
If you know the good visage, do not hold on to exte
als.
(Your) mind-spirit is your true teacher.
The problems and riddles (gong’an, a Chan Buddhist term) posed by men of old should be investigated,
(But) your own school (of thinking) must be spread about.
Little by little you come to penetrate your past enlightened nature,
More and more you show forth your compassion of old.
When your compassion and purity are both (re-) established,
You will attain sudden enlightenment and absolutely nothing will bind you.ARTArticleCreating health and curing cancer are not the same!Hello and welcome, this is for those people who have discovered that they have cancer and have a determined desire to be cancer free and healthy.

This article is related to ‘The 5 Step Cancer Healing Process’, this is the essential process that one needs to undergo, in order to be healthy and healed from cancer.ARTArticleCut the CakeHow often do you give yourself a treat - either as a reward for something well done or to console yourself for enduring a bad situation?
Do you tell yourself that you deserve __________ (fill in your favorite food) because __________rn(fill in your favorite reason)?ARTArticleDare to be Thin - The Past is Not a Sign for the FutureIf you are like me (that is to say, as I was 25 years ago), you certainly know how it feels to be dissatisfied with your body, not feel love, or to abhor your emotional eating (uncontrolled.) And, even more so, you know how it feels when you don't know how to change the situation.
From my personal experience I also know that perhaps you do not have a clue how to succeed in this battle, and you are discouraged about your chances of finding a real solution.
I know this because it happened to me.ARTArticleDental Problems Linked To Breast CancerNew data conce

In the sixties, the main diet methodology was a purple collection of mimeographed pages covered with a lengthy list of foods and their calorie counts. Dieters were instructed to eat only 1,000 calories. Not knowing how to manage our eating (or we would not have been fat), we’d scarf down our daily allotments before lunch and were then faced with two most unhappy options: a) starve the remainder of the day, or; b) quit. Either way, the process was unsuccessful.ARTArticleDiscover A Healthy Weight Loss DietI'm going to disappoint you right away.

However, many times dieting becomes more of a struggle than an aide in your life. When you attempt to lose weight quickly, you can end up in a cycle of getting on and off the dieting wagon. This not only takes a toll on your body, but your mind as well. Most diets ultimately result in you regaining the weight that you worded so hard to lose. Due to the rate of failed diets, you may begin to develop myths about your weight. These myths are being reinforced every time you try a diet and don’t succeed in the long run.
