The debate over Health Care is one that is totally missing the mark. True health care reform must be in the best interests and desires of the people who are paying for that health care. Every year greater numbers of those people are seeking out alte ative healing. Sadly they have to pay for it out of their pocket even when they have insurance because the present medical establishment has blocked the admission of the many successful noninvasive methods that have been proven to be effective. Many of these methods outperform traditional treatment at a fraction of the cost.

Change does not happen on its own.

While we respect the individual choices people make to consume a meat and/or a vegetarian diet, we also know that the food can be laden with harsh chemicals and that it may have undergone processing. Most of the beef, pork, and chicken found in grocery stores come from animals that have been raised in a commercial environment. It is not uncommon for animals raised in these environments to have been kept in small, overcrowded enclosures without the freedom to roam. Most animals living in these conditions are given hormones and antibiotics that, in turn, enter our bodies when the meat is eaten.

The divine flow is like the flow of a river, however many rivers nowadays are polluted, full of junk or simply stagnating. It is time to take care of them - meaning it is time to take care of our emotional bodies and to look at them as rivers, where stuff got thrown in over the years. For some, there is so much built up, that it works like a big dam which does not allow any flow of energy. You can easily recognize the flow of energy, by looking at how much love is flowing in

I started to distinguish the difference between self-care and soul care when I was working in social services in a government corporation. Myself and others were not finding the known strategies of eating well, sleeping enough, and exercising regularly effective in alleviating the kind of stress we were under. Many of my co-workers became disillusioned about being able to help others and ran on adrenaline and medication boosts to get through the day. I just kept pushing to get everything done and make everyone happy, while neglecting my own needs.

A friend recently said to me that she was tired of being “stuck” in the same situation that she has been in for a few years. Later that day, another woman was complaining of the weather and how she hated this time of year, but couldn’t do anything about it as she was “stuck” in this area. Many of us feel “stuck in a rut”, spinning our wheels and we can’t get out. Or can we?nnOften what we are stuck in is our own negative feelings about a situation, be it a job

Anxiety is one of the ways in which we respond to negative stress. When we are stressed out, we spend a lot of time worrying about what the future will bring. This in turn leads to anxiety attacks. Anxiety attacks can range from mild fears to gut-wrenching life-stopping moments. As such, anxiety has the potential to derail your life seriously. Unfortunately, life in the world today is such a huge cauldron of troubles that getting away from stress and anxiety is almost impossi

Over the past three decades, reports of new – and in some cases extraordinary – healing techniques have been widely publicized. That has had a very interesting effect on many people, and on how they choose to take their medicine. nIn the United States alone, there have been countless studies and research papers written on alternative medicine, health and healing. Topics that have been extensively covered include acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, energy healing, vit

It’s a vibrant sunny day and I’m sitting under my veranda overlooking my garden, which contains a nest of chicks. The mother bird has flown back to the nest, and instantly three grey fuzzy heads with pink beaks bop up crying to be fed. There is quite a commotion as the mother bird starts feeding each chick. Suddenly, the mother is startled by my dog , and she abruptly flies off leaving her frantic, unsatisfied chicks. I am particularly intrigued by one of the chicks perch

A human being consists of many forces and potentialities. Each individual has many possibilities and limitations endowed by circumstances. A person may be likened to an automobile with a top speed of 100 miles per hour. To start the car, the ignition key has to be inserted. Fail to do this, and the car will never start normally. Next you have to turn the ignition key, start the engine, and then start to accelerate. Finally, you begin to steer, moving in your desired direction

Touch is the first tool we turn to when confronting pain. We react similarly to a stubbed toe and a broken heart, tenderly grasping the affected area. This need to apply physical contact is part of the innate healing instinct present within each of us. We are all born with the ability to heal ourselves and to heal others. Because healing energy does not come from within but from outside our ourselves, the energy is there for anyone to use, and thus no formal training is requi

I am continuing a thread of information that was given to me from the spirits about living in our True Self and not in the illusion of our projected self. The scenario the spirits originally presented to me was in a journey where I saw many non-physical, intergalactic beings present as the audience in a large theater. The theater was massive and these non-human beings arrayed among balconies and tiers and on the floor of the theater. They gathered to observe human performers acting their parts in the drama of life.

There is nothing like pushing through a day at work when you are feeling tired and frustrated. Especially when that day turns into a week and all you long for is the weekend!n nWe dream about how we want things to be but just don't have the energy to get started. We know that living for the weekend is no way to live and that each moment is sacred so what can we do to get energized? How do we restore our hope and happiness?nnI believe that when we begin to struggle in our live

I get dozens of emails each month from studio owners , teachers and people involved in some other aspect of yoga (about 5000 people are subscribed to this newsletter). I really do read every one, though unfortunately, I don't have the time to respond to them all (I wish I did). Instead, topics that come up often are often the basis for what I write here. This month, I had planned to write about who is supposed to do what when it comes to studio operations, but I felt guided i

I am writing a new book entitled Sitting In Circle with the Gods. My goal is to complete it by the end of the year. This book has been a long time coming.

I've been going through a time of letting go of things, projects, and people from my life lately. It's never an easy process and, frankly, some of it can be quite emotionally draining. I was feeling a bit down about the ending of a particular professional relationship when my husband reminded me that "things often seem stormy when we are in the midst of entering a new phase in our life." nnHe's right. Every time we make a commitment to transform our lives in a positive and ma

Everything you do in life depends on your level of energy! It cycles from low levels to medium levels to high levels and then back to low. It powers your movements, your thoughts, your feelings and even your responses. Contemplate how almost nothing may bother you when your energy is strong and how anything and everything can annoy you when your energy is low. nnThe character for 'Chi' as in Tai Chi is a person standing between heaven and earth carving out their world (symbol

"I know what I need to do, but I’m scared that I won’t succeed.” Who among us hasn’t been stuck in this scenario before? We know what to do, but we don’t put knowledge into action. The end result is the frustration of staying stuck in the current reality even though change is desired. The ...

Considering that the local overall economy continues sluggishly, and the world economic climate displays no indication of recovery, but instead faces its own debts and challenges, it becomes more significant than ever to find new power sources and free energy devices, so that we can discontinue our combined dependence on imported oil.

I was attending a workshop out of state when I received a phone call. Standing in the hall I heard the words, “Suzanne has been diagnosed with breast cancer.” I literally almost collapsed. My knees buckled and I had to catch myself or I would have been on the floor. Hearing that a dear friend had breast cancer was such a shock I didn’t know what to do but wander around the halls for a while. nAny of us, when we hear a friend or family member has been diagnosed with canc
