Ecotherapy - The Prescribed Walk in the Park Part II
This article was originally published on PH Online March 2009 Issue 156 - http://www.positivehealth.com/article-view.php?articleid=2558 In Part I featured in Issue 153 of PH Online Positive Health, I described the benefits of colour therapy with exercise together with the concept of ecotherapy mainly with regard to stress.
Why Women Like Pink?
Pink is a Fake! Because it does not appear on the colour spectrum! The word pink was first used to describe colour in the 1600's to name the light red flowers in the dianthus family as 'pinks' a close relative of carnations. However, light red is not pink as pink has a bit less green in the colour mix, pink is a fake or more commonly called a combined colour incorporating two different wavelengths of light from the colour spectrum that the receptor cones in our eyes perceive as one colour.
How Colour Therapy Works
Our Reaction to Colour - The Endocrine System Colour affects us physically and psychologically, directly and indirectly and from a combined psychological, physiological, and spiritual perspective. From both the psychological and physiological perspective colour affects us directly when it enters the eye and is transmitted to the emotional centre of the brain the hypothalamus.
Ecotherapy - The Prescribed Walk in the Park Part I
This article was originally published on PH Online Dec 2008 Issue 153 - http://www.positivehealth.com/article-view.php?articleid=2513 As a colour counsellor and lifelong outdoor pursuit’s enthusiast, I read with interest the recent news that doctors were prescribing a walk in the park for depression. The idea that outdoor exercise is good for depression has been around for a long time but has only recently been confirmed by research.
Reflections on the Fermi Paradox
In a period of less than one hundred years, humankind advanced from traveling by horse and buggy to making a trip to its planet's satellite. Just imagine what the humans might be able to accomplish over the course of the next ten thousand years! That is possibly enough time to develop techniques for long-term human hibe ation, to build extremely fast spaceships, and to explore every planet within a thousand light years.
On Nostradamus and Statistical Probabilities
Everyone knows that it is impossible to foresee the future. Well, believers in astrology, tarot cards, psychic powers, black magic, crystal balls, and so forth, may take exception to this but their beliefs have been generally discredited by the world's scientific community. Indeed, to predict a future event with complete accuracy and full confidence would essentially involve calculating the long-term interaction of every atom in the nearby universe, clearly an impossible task.
Why Aren't the Christians in Church?
Someone sent me this joke and I saved it. I’m printing it as a topic for this self growth article. Squirrels had overrun three churches in town. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. "Who are we to interfere with God's will?" they reasoned. Soon, the squirrels multiplied. The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not harm any of God's creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
Invisibly Obvious
Have you ever looked for something only to find out it was right in front of you the whole time? It amazes me how things can be so elusive, yet so obvious. I had yet another example of this phenomenon when a friend was helping me with the manuscript of my book. I have looked through this manuscript numerous times, yet there it was, in plain view, several obvious errors that I missed. Tsk, tsk.
