If we can get into the habit of eating salt less - even if we only cut just one gram of salt from our diet, this could mean 250,000 fewer cases of heart disease and more than 200,000 fewer deaths over a ten year period according to some brand new research. Doctors have known for a long time that too much salt is tied to high blood pressure and heart disease, yet Americans are still using 50% more salt than they did in the 1970s. Blood pressure rates have gone up by just about the same amount. The real reason sodium is bad for us is because it causes the body to hold onto fluid - this added fluid makes the heart work harder and this is where the problems starts. Too much salt can also bring on...

American doctors have been trying to figure out the secrets behind Asians being healthier than Americans since the early 90s - The Japan has the lowest mortality rates in the world and Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years, since around 2000 B.C. only meant that there's more to Asian health philosophy. In Asian medicine, there's an acknowledgment of the whole-body theory of medicine, instead of isolationism that's prevalent in many American doctor's offices. The main reason behind a better health lies in the difference between Asian and American culture. Diet, exercise, and a holistic approach to medicine all contribute to Asians living longer and healthier than their American...

Are you thinking about going to see a doctor about the pain and numbness in your hand and wrist? Are you worried that you have an injury and that it's getting worse? If you suspect that you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome there are 3 important questions that you should ask your doctor. There are a lot of questions that you can and should ask, but here are three questions that will make the most difference. Question #1. What is going on in my hand and wrist that is giving me these symptoms of pain and numbness? Most doctors will blame the problem on repetitive motion activities like working on a mouse and keyboard, or knitting, or something of the sort. But that doesn't actually answer the question. You...

Researchers across the world are taking note of the ways a body's alkaline or acid content can affect overall health. For several decades, Japanese researchers have suggested that many adult degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, gout, indigestion, osteoporosis, cancers, and cardiac disorders may be attributed to an accumulation of acids in the body and poor cell circulation. They believe that even asthma, migraine headaches, back pain, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, morning sickness, angina and constipation may be relieved by raising alkaline levels in the body. Proponents of alkaline water claim it works in two ways. First, the pH in our body ranges from...

From kids washing up under a too-hot faucet to an accidental tipping of a coffee cup, burns are a potential hazard in every home. In fact, burns, especially scalds from hot water and liquids, are some of the most common accidents. Although some minor burns aren't cause for concern and can be safely treated at home, other more serious burns require medical care. Burns are most unpleasant incident in our life. It results in damage of skin, which is the body's first line of defense against infection by microorganisms. This leads to the body becoming susceptible to infections. The infections can occur in the affected areas as well as in the surrounding areas. It can also affect internal parts as the...

Glycerin is a chemical compound which is known as glycerol. For making biodiesel it is the main by-product. This word comes from the Greek word glykys and its meaning is sweet. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous, nontoxic liquid with a very sweet taste and has literally thousands of uses. It can easily dissolve in water and alcohol both but it is unable to dissolve in oils but, there are many substances which will dissolve into glycerin than they will dissolve into water or alcohol. So, it can be said that glycerin is a good solvent. It is also a highly hygroscopic which means it can absorb water from air. This statement can be proved with an example which is mentioned below. Example Take a bottle...

My first encounter with Rudolph Ballentine was during my early 2000 naturopathic training at Clayton College of Natural Health. The book was Radical Healing, and it transformed my way of thinking about illness and healing. 600 pages of knowledge and experience opened my eyes to the promise of holistic thinking. Rudolph Ballentine was trained at Duke University in Psychiatry; He later created and now directs the Center for Holistic Medicine in New York City. He is one of the great contemporary standard bearers for healing traditions as old as mankind. Ballentine tells us that suppressing of symptoms is folly, true healing is profoundly transforming, and deep healing is reorganizing deep inner...

Flower essence healing and flower essences are component of a common category of medication referred to as vibrational remedies which address the electromagnetic fields of the anxious technique rather than the biochemical matrix of the physiology. This is in line with most varieties of holistic medicine - East, West and everywhere else - all of which treat the deeper electromagnetic matrices of the system, for example, the worried technique. In these types of healing, the electrical portion of the anxious method is considered major to the biochemical pathways of the system. In other words, the nervous technique is viewed as the master manage panel for the system. Therefore any variations, imbalances...

Anger is complex, but it isn't rocket science... Anger can be described as a complex of thoughts, feelings and urges that show up when things don't go our way. It's pretty simple to understand; we just want to be happy. Unfortunately, we believe our happiness is contingent on things turning out according to our likes. Problem is, everyone else feels the same way. But what's wrong with wanting things our way? Well as it turns out, quite a lot. Bare with me here and think about this idea: suffering results from not liking what we have and from wanting what we don't have. It's a little nugget of wisdom that's pretty hard to disagree with. But how can we be happy with what we have and lose our...

If there was one chief dissolvers of the relationships we have with each other as a culture, anger would be it. When we're angry, we do things that others often misunderstand and take offensively - with good reason. It's hard to explain away angry words, physical contact, or the throwing of items. While friends and family may understand, constant symptoms of anger can lead to the loss of the connections that we hold dear. There is a better way: in fact, there are really 3 major points to managing anger effectively. This article will strive to show these steps in a way that will allow you to make these changes in your life today. First, the key to managing anger is to acknowledge that it exists...

p>Yes! Once you experience the Virtual Hug of God via Clairgnosis* or whatever spiritual development method you are using... the next surprise is that Conversations with God come next! Now that I have come to feel the Virtual Hug of God/Higher Power/Spirit... things have evolved to a new more interesting level! Not only does God hug me and display evidence that He is with me... He is now sending me lessons. I am now officially in "God School"! You may wonder what kind of lessons it would be that he is teaching me. I believe it all comes from the idea... "as does God... so do I... for I and the Father are One". In other words... now that I am connected and communicating with him... hence totally...

"> When you are doing energetic corrections on another person, you can clarify the problem or issue to be addressed by using an appropriate line of questioning. Go initially from the more general areas to the specific. Specifics can help with corrections; long stories, however, do not. For the most part, excess words and long stories hinder the correction process. You can decide where to make the correction in a person's body by scanning down the midline (from the shoulders to the waist). As you get more practiced, a correction will find the correct place on the midline of its own accord. The point on the midline where you feel a mental weakness is the point of correction. Making contact mentally at...

"Suffering is not in the fact, but in your perception of the fact," Sri Bhagavan, Oneness University. Bhagavan explains that as long as we see our suffering as resulting from external events, we will continue to avoid or want to escape our suffering. We will blame others. If instead we shift the way we see suffering by shifting our awareness inward towards ourselves, we come at some point to realize that our suffering results from how we see and experience events and people. In other words, we see through the limited view of the colored glasses of our own misperceptions of outer reality. The answer to our suffering lies within ourselves. Another way of understanding suffering follows in my own...

I believe I developed codependent behaviors to cope with my father's drinking, which resulted in constant fighting between my father and mother for twenty years until they divorced. I never felt safe to express my thoughts and feelings so I retreated inward and became invisible, the lost child. I wore a stoic stone face as a mask as if I were okay. My heart also became as numb as a stone. It as been said a codependent has a compulsive need to control an otherwise out of control life. This may be true as I experienced an out of control family life because of the unpredictability of my fathers drinking and anger outbursts. I took control by withdrawing and numbing all my feelings. I hid my thoughts...

How do we overcome self-sabotage - the unconscious beliefs which trip up our sincere efforts to succeed? We can choose to become aware of our unconscious beliefs through reprogramming methods such as the one explained in Carolyn Ball's book, "Claiming Your Self-Esteem." We can also use ways to dissolve and release these beliefs once we become aware of them. One way is Byron Katie's, "The Work," which has questions for releasing beliefs which no longer serve us. The four questions include: 1. Is this belief true? 2. Who would I be without the thought? 3. Could I let this go? 4. Would I let this go? When? Then like Carolyn Ball's reprogramming method choose a new belief. Joe Vitale in The Key also has...

Attracting a guy is very difficult to understand at times. From someone looking in from the outside, it is very easy to know why a guy is instantly attracted to a woman. All it seems that a woman requires is good looks and a striking appearance, and the guy is instantly sold on the woman. However, looking at it from that limited viewpoint will not serve you at all. If you look deeper into things, you will see that a guy actually has many more layers to him, and when you learn what actually attracts him, you might be pleasantly suprised. You will be most suprised that it's not the looks that really attracts a man. The suprising things you need to know about a man, which may startle you are the...

Don’t you wish that at times when you are having some discomforts in the body that you can just get rid of it quickly? People tend to get stressed all the time and this leads to occasional body pains and even headaches that can become a nuisance for you. Since we have work or school every day, there is a chance that people indeed experience recurring pains in the body that can really affect our daily lives. It can be really hard to deal with this all the time because our work or performance on our given everyday task would suffer and this could lead to more hardships and tough times. We all know that there is the availability of medicine all the time but we know that it takes time for medicine to...

     If God truly wanted perfect people then He could have created them. So then, God doesn’t want perfect people!  Why not?  I thought perfection was what we are trying to achieve.      If God removed your weaknesses what would you do? This is a good question and many people would respond with “I don’t know.” Well, let’s look at the averages.  Most people rarely give God the time of day, even though they realize they are beholding to their Creator. That is, if they need God, they will cry out in the night and pray diligently for help. But, when things are smooth, they are nowhere in sight.  So, can you imagine what the average person would do if they had no weakness...

Are you focused on your dreams? Do you know what they are? Your dreams want to be lived, that's why you have them. There is a place between thought and emotion. It's the Prerogative Point. Having a thought is like being in your car traveling with the windows up. And then there is an in-between time. The Prerogative Point. The point where you (and not just women!) have the prerogative to choose. After that there is the moment when you attach the thought to an emotion (or emotions). You may do this without conscious awareness. However, now you know about it, you will start to see how it works. What will it be like when you open the windows of your car, and let in your chosen emotion? Will it be nice...

We know all that live in this world is not always fun, even just the suffering that we experience more than pleasure. Poverty, disease, tap life and various other issue has dragged us into a prolonged suffering. When we are suffering to be honest we sometimes complain, cursing and even dare to blame God. Maybe we'll say this: Where is God when I'm suffering, if God does not know that I could not bear this suffering? " Sentences of this complaint can get out of our mouths if we think God is a person who is far from human. It is true that God is too far from mansia, he can not be reached by humans. He is above (heaven) there while we are on earth. But thanks be to God, because He did not just sit him...

Spiritual guides are our constant companions. Yet very few people realize they exist. Many people who know they exist fail to realize they can ask these guides for guidance every day. In fact, our spirit guides constantly communicate with us in many ways we fail to recognize - until we take the time to learn how to both ask and receive our answers. How can they help us? Allow me to share a recent experience in my own life. This past week my turn came to fulfill the obligation of serving on jury duty. Fortunately my term only lasted one week. And I had to be ready each day to make the twenty plus mile trip to the county court house since I never knew when they would actually need me. While I did want...

When we look at our lives many of us often feel like we have very little choice. We have to work, meet family obligations, and attend to the daily chores of "making a living." This lack of choice often makes us feel helpless and dis-empowered. We feel that we are not in control of our own lives. How to Regain Control of Your Life The good news is that there's a simple way to regain our personal power. It's called "choosing even when you have no choice." Consider going to work, for instance. Most of us have to work to earn an income for basic needs, and while we might have the freedom to change jobs, we don't really have the choice to not work. So how can we choose in this situation where we have no...

The Soul is not necessarily an easy concept to understand. Yet, Your Subtle Soul Energy gives form to everything else about you. . . from your cells to your sense of self. Spirit, known as the intelligent energy of creation, is everywhere. Your Soul is the manifestation of Spirit at a personal level. It is an individualized spark, if you will, of Spirit which is everywhere and in everything. Because you are part of all that is, you have literally always been. Yet, there was the instant when the individual energy current that is you was formed. You are both individual and one with all that is! Both Spirit and Soul are the great mysteries of our being. And while for the most part we cannot...

class="googleright"> One of the topics discussed in James Ray’s Science for Success is quantum physics and chaos theory. He says that we don't need to understand all of the details of the laws or the principles, we just need to know how to put them into action. Our principle is to start putting things into action as opposed to trying to understand every aspect of quantum physics. Quantum physicists are still saying that a lot of ideas are not 100% proven, it's still theoretical in many cases. One of the most powerful and positive laws is the Law of Attraction. If you understand the Law of Attraction, then you begin in rapid form to start pulling great results into your life. Great results...

Valentine's Day makes those of us who are single wistful for someone to share the day with,someone to be loved by, someone to share our lives with. We wish we had someone tosend us a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a fabulous piece of jewelry or have a romanticdinner with. If we are alone for Valentine's Day, we feel depressed, unloved and unwanted. Our societyhas taught us to look outside of ourselves for love and approval when it is more importantthat we find those things within us. If we do not love and approve of ourselves, we will beunable to feel loved and approved of by others. If we do not love and approve of ourselves,we will feel just as lonely and unloved with a mate sitting right beside us...

One of the basic principles that any apprentice magician or shaman learns is that almost everything in this Universe is made up of some combination of the four magical elements: Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The premise is that if you can understand the four elements directly, then you can understand anything in the Universe. The apprentice also learns that everything that is physical and manifest started out as a mere thought in someone's mind--or, in this case, as the element Air. Air is at the beginning of all creation, so if you want to create anything, you have to start with Air. Air is associated with the East and also with elemental beings called sylphs. The element Air governs: ... seeing...

We all know that watching fish swim, chickens peck, or cats stretch can be very relaxing, but did you know that you can actually extend the art of animal watching to a meditation that can offer you deep insights into the wisdom of animals? One of our favorite teachers, Abraham-Hicks, likes to say that whenever you want to attract something into your life, feel the desire for that thing and then pet the cat. Why should you pet the cat? Because almost by osmosis you get that relaxed, go-with-the-flow, allowing feeling that cats automatically exude, and Abraham teaches that allowing is the key to manifestation. Animals, by their very nature, are more in touch with Spirit than we are, and tend to be...

There really is just no rest for whiners. Think about it for a second from a magical point of view. If you like to whine (and who doesn't?), then what are you doing? You are attracting yet more of whatever it is you are already whining about. And that means you will have to whine some more about the same stuff. See what I mean? No rest for the weary and whiny! All jesting aside, this is, of course, true from a magical perspective... from the perspective of the Law of Attraction. And it's not that I don't want people to whine. Whining is a Universe-given right that we all have as planetary citizens. Nope, wouldn't, couldn't, shouldn't take that away from a single planetary citizen. Whining DOES Have...

Harry Potter and "Charmed" are great introductions to magic, but they do often mislead the general public about magic. Hopefully this article will demystify 3 of the common myths about magic created by popular media. 1. There Are No Muggles Magic is the birth right of every single person on this planet. You don't have to be "born" into a magical lineage, a witchy heritage, or a wizarding family. Everyone can learn magic. Magic is both an art and a science, with real rules, logic, and reasoning. Magic can be learned just as any science can be learned. So go ahead, learn magic. There are no muggles, only people who don't yet know how to do magic! 2. The "Personal Gain" Thing and Magic The whole myth...

If you are interested in becoming a magical weather worker, then cloud magic is a great place to start. Magical weather workers can do truly incredible things, including altering the direction of storms, calling in moisture during droughts, and even influencing temperatures on a local or global level. In terms of daily use, knowing how to work with weather can help you clear up an impending storm on the day of a big outdoor concert, alter the course of a snowstorm so you don't have to drive through icy roads, or bring in some local cloud cover so your plants don't wilt from the heat during a sizzling summer. But before you can do all of these incredible things with weather, you'll need to start on a...

Dreaming about an ex-boyfriend is fairly common for many women and those women are dying to know the meanings behind these dreams. This article addresses what your dreams involving an ex-boyfriend really mean. I am talking about an ex-boyfriend specifically and not addressing ex-husbands. Dreams with ex-husbands can have an entirely different meaning. If you have a dream about an ex-boyfriend from your childhood this often means you wish for a freer lifestyle and a more simple relationship. You're longing for more spontaneity and less adult responsibilities like the ones involved with being in a marriage or raising a family. This doesn't mean that you should dump your responsibilities by abandoning...

If you are interested in opening up to guidance from the angelic realm, Celestite is the perfect stone to use. As its name implies, it is closely tied to the celestial. The best way to use this crystal is in meditation. Place it near you or in your hand, and quiet your mind. Focus on your breath until you are able to still yourself and become completely calm, like still water. If you are comfortable with writing, you may want to have a pen and journal nearby. I find that many times the angelic realm will speak to me through my pen. Here is an example of one of my sessions using Celestite in a meditation: Holding this stone, I ask for some guidance from the angels, and this is what happens. The first...

My life has been in such an incredible mode of shifting and changing; at times it feels like the only constant thing occurring is change. Why is this happening? Why is there such a great need to shift so rapidly? And how do I stay on top of all this change? I am very grateful for the gift of Surrender. I think, in fact I know that without this gift, staying sane and balanced energetically would be very challenging. There have been days where nothing has made any sense, days where I have felt overwhelmed by the lack of financial flow, days where life’s heaviness has been just too much to bear, days where my self-judgment of not being good enough brought on a great depth of sadness. On the flip...

Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley After more than 50 years of watching football it pains me to say it, but Alabama came to play in the 2008 BCS Sugar Bowl and Utah came to win the Sugar Bowl. Guess what happened? Utah made Alabama look like half the team it is, winning convincingly, 31-17. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban did not help his cause. After guiding Alabama to a perfect 12-0 record before losing to Florida 31-20 in the SEC championship playoff, Saban announced to the world that his club was still the only team to have an undefeated regular season in a "BCS conference". The Utah Utes, who came into the Sugar Bowl with the nation's only undefeated record at 12-0, took umbrage at Saban's remark...
