Relationships: Does Our Childhood Define Our Expectations Of The Opposite Sex?

It is often said that people shouldn’t have expectations and this is partly because it will cause them to be disappointed or let down. And while this can’t be denied, having expectations is part of life in many ways. For example: when someone expects more from life, they are likely to receive more. That is, as long as they are prepared to put the work in. Whereas, when someone doesn’t expect much from life, they probably won’t receive much.

Stress Test: 5 Ways to Make It Through the Holidays

The chores of cooking, shopping and cleaning are often multiplied during the holidays, leaving you feeling put-upon and resentful. One year a friend had a tree trimming dinner party, and she wouldn’t give her guests dessert until they hung ornaments on the tree. Not exactly behavior in the spirit of Christmas.

The common denominator of "feeling stuck"

A Healing Toolbox, Best Practices in Energy Healing article When we are stuck, we almost always are facing multiple problems--and do not recognize this. The other day a friend was sharing something of his inner experience that the secret of soul transcendence really works, that it's completely possible to dissolve negativity and declare it over. I told him I agreed. As someone who assists clients as a practitioner I see this over and over. As souls, we each have the capacity to release ourselves; much of this is done thru self-forgiveness.

The Words We Hear Can Last A Life Time!

Yesterday was a day of revelation, expression and strong emotion. What started out as a conversation in regards to Depression with my dad, proved to be one of the most impressionable times. The discussion involved speaking that everyone has imperfections and depression does not mean that you are flawed or "different" than others. Everyone has something that is less than perfect in their lives. The conversation evolved into something I never had expected. My dad had asked me if I watched the funeral of Senator Ted Kennedy. I replied," parts of it".

What are Prayer Flags?

While many have the impression that Buddhism is a religion not known for its icons and symbols, this is not an accurate assessment. There are many components to the worship of Buddhism that are integrated into its worship. One such item is that of the prayer flag. In fact, so common is the prayer flag in certain circles of Buddhism that the flag is the defining symbolic item that clearly displays a Buddhist place of worship or the home of a practitioner of Buddhism.

***10 Things to Remember With Opposite-Sex Friends

Here is the age-old question: Can a man and woman be friends and stay strictly platonic? The answer is “Yo and Nes”—each word, as you can see, is a combination of Yes and No. So, how do you know if your friendship with a person of the opposite sex might cross over into “dangerous territory?” In the movie When Harry Met Sally, Harry declares that men and women can never really be friends because “sex always gets in the way.” In other words, at some point, one or both of them will have a sexual desire for the other. Is that always true?

***Exploring the Innate Wisdom of the Body

Sometimes I feel like a salmon, swimming upstream to fulfill its biological imperative, getting bloodied and battered in the process. Although my spawning days are long gone, I do feel pushed, compelled, called, however, to send the message to any woman (or man) willing to listen: Our bodies, your body and mine, have innate wisdom. Among many things, they will tell us when to eat, what to eat, and when to stop.

***Part 3 – Food For Thought

The most rapid brain growth occurs during the first year of life with the infant’s brain tripling in size by the first birthday. During this stage of rapid central nervous system growth, the brain uses 60% of the total energy consumed by the infant. Fats are major components of the brain cell membrane and the myelin sheath around each. So it would make sense that getting enough fat, and especially the right kinds of fat can greatly affect one's brain development and performance especially in the formative first year of life.

It warps our communication and damages our relationships so that we control, patronize, criticize, blame, deny, withdraw, attack, and make empty promises to keep a relationship and reassure ourselves we’re okay even when we don’t believe it.
