Have you ever strove for something that you really wanted, made small goals to reach the eventual point of success, achieve it and then gloat like a millionaire (despite not being one yet)? Have you ever felt like you were better than anyone else in doing whatever it was that you did? Have you ever scoffed at the efforts of someone striving to do the same thing that you have done a million times over and not reach out to help them because you are afraid that they are going to be like you and be competition to you and you are going to lose your place? Humility, when you are good at what you do, is a pretty hard state to be in when you know you've got it. But here's the one thing that I always believe...

No-one is saved from the day to day stresses and strains of everyday living. Most of us have access to computers at home and can continue to work even when we have left the office. This often leads to working longer hours with little or no time left for ourselves. Over extended periods, this can affect our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being which can develop into stress. Stress is a major threat to everyone and a prime contributor of disease and is now known to be a significant factor in such diverse illnesses as cancer, diabetes, heart attack, peptic ulceration, low back pain, depression and phobia. What are the signs and symptoms? We rarely spot the symptoms of stress until they...

Sometimes love is great! Other times love hurts. Experiencing love is a Universal need, so how do we heal and love again when our loved ones have hurt us? Sometimes our loved ones hurt us. Dads can get physical or disappear from our lives. Moms can betray us with their anger and lack of support. A best friend can shock us by turning their backs on us. A spouse can be unfaithful and destroy our trust. Our children can take a destructive path that is sure to crush our heart. These are some of the big hurts in life that leave us wondering how we will ever heal. But there are little hurts too that can build into mountains of resentment if we don’t address them. Angry words are exchanged...

Many years ago, God led me through scripture to show me that Jesus healed all who came to Him, no exceptions ... and that healing is still available for us, today ... God doesn't change ... according to your faith be it unto you. Even in Paul's case, grace always has a point of redemption. My mother was in excruciating pain with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Thus, for years, I sought, searched, warred, and even spiritually crawled through battle after battle, when I could no longer stand ... as I wanted to learn how to heal! When I could no longer crawl, I begged God to hold on to me, to not let me fall. It would have been easy to have given up had there not been a greater love than for myself. Only...

If you are lucky, you don't know much about being a good hospital visitor. Most of us don't because we haven't had enough experience to be expert at this. As a visitor, you are probably coming to see a patient in order to cheer them up and make them feel better. If you don't follow certain guidelines, though, you can make the situation worse. Seeing a friend or loved one who is ill enough to need to be in the hospital can be very hard. This can cause people to behave awkwardly because of feelings of helplessness and confusion. It's not up to the patient to make you feel better about things, though. They are the patient, and it is supposed to be you making them feel better. Follow these...

I was recently asked by one of my clients, "I am in talk therapy and I do my Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I think I have been not succeeding/just barely making it, because I am worried my mother is going to take credit for my success (just like she did when I was younger). I am stuck and am not sure that I want to be unstuck because of this fear. Any suggestions?" I have encountered many clients who want to heal something in their lives, but on some level they perceive there is a penalty for getting better. They think if I get better: - Others are going to be jealous of my progress. - I am going to back side again and that sort of failure will be devastating. - If I heal my friends who have...

If you are an acupuncturist looking for ways to grow your private practice, I encourage you to do a little market research and see what other practitioners are doing to market themselves. If you surf the web or look at various display ads, you'll probably notice rather quickly that most marketing pretty much looks the same way, has the same phrases, and conveys the same impression. The problem is that the conventional 'website as brochure' or 'ad as brochure type of marketing has the same end result: It simply does not work and is a poor return on investment. Most practitioners make one massive error in the way they approach marketing, one that could profoundly undermine their ability to generate...

(PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more terrifying events in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. It is a severe and ongoing emotional reaction to an extreme psychological trauma. This stressor may involve someone's actual death or a threat to the patient's or someone else's life, serious physical injury, or threat to physical and/or psychological integrity, to a degree that usual psychological defenses are incapable of coping. In some cases it can also be from profound psychological and emotional trauma, apart from any actual physical harm. Often, however, the two are combined. PTSD is a condition distinct from traumatic stress, which is of less...

While some people do have trouble manifesting with the law of attraction, it is a very obvious, natural universal law that works exactly as our subconscious expects it to, no more and no less. The law of attraction is very powerful, as it represents the Universe itself. It can even be said that the law of attraction is the "spirit of the Universe!" So then, if the law of attraction is so powerful, then how come some people can't make it "work?" Well, that question itself is contradictory, as the law of attraction ALWAYS works, it is we who sometimes DON'T WORK. If we're not being our true selves, then we're not in harmony with the Universe, therefore we're not manifesting with the law of attraction...

Introdution Chikungunya has become the biggest scare in the world currently. After the epidemics of dengue and SARS, now chikungunya has grabbed the attention of people of the world. In some parts of the world, chikungunya is also called as Chicken Guinea, though this is a misnomer as chikungunya has nothing to do with chicken. Chicken Guinea is just an Anglicization of the word chikungunya. The word chikungunya is etymologically rooted in the Makonde language of Tanzania, where it means 'that which bends up'. This name is because of the painful symptoms which cause the patient's joints to curve in an upwards position. The origins of chikungunya can be traced to 1952 in central Africa from where it...

Certainly the knowledge of herbal remedies is a given for the shaman in the treatment of his patients. Such a knowledge is not gained from a semester course or an on-line seminar offered by someone claiming to have correct knowledge. Nor can one learn all the subtleties of herbals by using a book on herbal medicines. Gathering herbs in the wild is a dangerous activity and should never be undertaken without an expert guide. One plant leaf may closely resemble another and it can be poisonous, if not deadly. Tasting a leaf here and there is not recommended. Poison hemlock is often mistaken for wild parsnips or as wild carrots. All parts of the hemlock are poisonous. The name actually comes from the...

Known as lyceum barbarum, the goji berry is rapidly becoming a popular new herbal remedy. The goji berry has been used in traditional Asian medicine for a long time.

Everybody is beset by pain at some points, and it certainly is an unpleasant experience. The initial tendency when this happens is to take pharmaceutical pain relievers, or otherwise go to a doctor. And the doctor, by all means, would prescribe the same or other pharmaceuticals. This is an all too common measure. But there are those who take the other way- without the use of pharmaceuticals. This is primarily through alternative therapies. Debate had been ongoing as to whether alternative therapies are effective. There are those who oppose, asserting that alternative treatments are not potent at all and may even be downright ineffective. But then again, there are those who argue that not only are...

"body"> Do you have any magical cures for eye floaters? A common question I've heard over the years. Yes and no. Here's what I've learned: There are no magical cures for floaters--only prevention for making more of them. Floaters are caused by a micro hemorrhage of the blood vessels in the back of the eye--when the bleeding contracts, the blood clot floats within the vitreous humor of the eye. After a time, the body adapts to the floater and is not consciously seen unless the person concentrates to see it. So "they" say. The goal is to strengthen the blood vessels so they won't bruise or rupture. Products that seem to be working the best for the general population include:o Zinc Liver Chelate and...

Capsicum: The active principle in capsicum is capsaicin. It is often applied on the skin for pain relief and can act as an appetite stimulant. On the minus side, it has a moderate interaction. It should be safe in food amounts, but should be watch...

When the doctor's office calls you back and tells you the swab has come back positive for strep, you probably won't be very surprised. The pain is bad, and finding a means to stop it can be problematic. Many over the counter sprays can only be used once every four hours. The relief they afford seldom lasts more than twenty minutes. What else can you do? Cinnamon and Clove Tea: Both of these spices contain eugenol, which dentists use to numb toothache pain and injection sites. A decoction of them can dull the pain. Put a stick of cinnamon and a tablespoon of whole cloves in a pan. Add two cups of water and simmer until it is down to one cup. An ounce of this fluid can be taken once an hour as needed...
