Untitled Document By Blair Lewis,n Author of "Happiness: The Real Medicine and How it Works" “A happy mind is the source of all healing powers. A person with a happy mind is full of enthusiasm, courage, and self-motivation.” I have been practicing medicine for twenty-five years, and my expertise is in the area of Homeopathy and Ayurveda.

Alan Cohen From the Heart September 2006 The Divine Payrollnn One of my seminar students was a man of great faith that he built through overcoming longtime alcoholism. When Dan came out on the other side of his addiction, he embodied a remarkable blend of strength and sensitivity. “Sometimes I feel embarrassed,” Dan told me privately. “I spend most of my time sponsoring people trying to beat their addictions. I’m on the phone and at meetings constantly. I love it and my peo

Forget about all your worries and bad times of this year as 31st December, the new year eve is around the corner! What have you planned for it? People start planning for it months before the eve.

This is a great topic and so timely for today with all of the turmoil that seems to be going on globally, especially with the fear that is being cultivated about the world's economy. We tend to get caught up in our own lives, and making sure that we are okay and have enough. Often we tend to go to a place of panic and survival of the fittest when we are being bombarded with such negative news. This is the time when we should be mindful of being kind to others. They may be fe

I’m a huge proponent of coaching and mentoring as a means to living the life you want.nnA coach is someone who can help you identify your specific goals in any area of life and then work with you on an action plan to make it happen. A coach holds you to be accountable for your commitments and can provide the wisdom of an outside perspective when we stumble or are challenged by our own internal thoughts and patterns of behaviour.nnA mentor is someone who shares his or he

One thing that every one of us looks forward to is the New Year eve. Most of us even have resolutions for the New Year. The moment Christmas celebration gets over; the next event that tends to excite us is the New Year celebration. Many people celebrate the New Year by doing prayers. Some spend time with their family and some even invite people to have fun together. Celebrating events with friends and family helps us to take a break from the usual routine. It makes us happy t

It’s occurred to me several times that we don’t have enough hours in the day to finish all the jobs we have. We take the job home with us. After all, we are the embodiment of what we do. Create a fantasy. Smash up against reality. We think up complex games, contest ideas, promotional ideas, FCC compliance ideas and more. Simply put, our minds are taxed beyond belief. Regular folk who know I’m in radio say: “It must be crazy being “on” all the time!” Well, for me

Finally, someone says he’s found the key to happiness — it’s a formula that looks like this: O + (N x S) + Cpm/T + He . rnWelsh psychologist Dr. Cliff Arnall devised the formula based on those things that tend to make us feel the best. O stands for being outdoors, N for connection with nature (how these first two are different exactly I'm not sure), S for social interaction, Cpm for memories of childhood summers, T for temperature and He for excitement about holidays. r

I can’t tell you how frequently a student raises her (and usually it is a her) hand in the mindfulness meditation classes I teach at UCLA and says, “I feel really guilty about taking time out of my day to meditate or do anything for myself. I feel like I’m stealing time from my family. It feels so selfish.” If you are having this feeling, I completely understand why you may be thinking that. Many people struggle with balancing family life with other responsibilities:

Fashion has long been a force to be reckoned with and a powerful tool for change. For as long as we’ve worn clothes, we’ve used them as a method of self-expression and an undeniable way to showcase our identities. Many designers have approached fashion in a daring and dynamic way — rewriting the rules and shocking many with their striking designs. In turn, each iconic design can be seen as a reflection of what was going on in society at the time. For women in particular

As I was driving to a friend’s house recently, I passed the Dublin Pub, a local watering hole known for its live music. On the reader board, one band’s name caught my eye: Spontaneous Woo. Hmmm, I thought. What a cool concept. There is nothing quite like letting out a joyous, spontaneous “WOO!” when things are going our way. We might personalize our woo, making it come out as “YESSSS!” or “Sweeeeeet” or even “Woo-HOO!” No matter what elicits this response,

Dearest Darling Readers, “To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.” E. M. Forster ‘The small feeling’ within, induced by nature, art, architecture and science is followed by dancing within with our muse. The beauty within is unfolded, by allowing our inspiration to take us somewhere in the future that holds us as glorious. ‘The small feeling’ makes us want to break our shackles, our chains, our limitation

As a female counsellor I have often worked with women who, for one reason or another appear to the outside world to ‘have it all’ and they come into therapy upset and frustrated that they apparently have ‘no reason’ to feel as they do. nnIt’s almost as if she feels her feelings are not justified.nnSo where would a counsellor start? If a client is unhappy now but wasn’t unhappy before then something has changed. It may sound obvious but often, changes in their life

Finding a way to stop a bad habit isn’t always easy. It sometimes takes an ah-ha moment to change your mindset that in turn changes your behaviour instantly. I recently experienced such an ah-ha moment. My habit was all about the high cost of energy in getting angry and frustrated at situations outside of my control. No matter what I tried, said or did, the situation kept getting worse and I kept getting angrier. I was wasting valuable energy I knew I needed for other aspects of my life, including my children and my health.

Is something disturbing, bothering, irritating, or annoying you? If so, what is troubling you? Is it a boss that is too demanding, a coworker that is too careless, or your children that are too noisy? Does the lack of civility, the increase in crime, or the apathy of young people upset you? Perhaps it is poor health, little money, or no respect that is making you depressed. With so many problems swirling around us, is the prospect of happiness a mere dream, an unattainable go

You will find there's saying that stone stars survive on the edge and also drive while in the fast lane.

This has been a weird sort of week. First, we have a house guest; a female friend of my son visiting from Finland. Then, my husband who usually works a 2-day-on/2-day-off shift schedule is in a class for two weeks. That means instead of coming home after his 48-hour shift, he’s in class and only gets to come home a couple of nights each week. It’s really messing with my calm, especially since he’s the more social of the two of us. But, our house guest is very shy, and I think

As we watch the news about the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, it is easy to become much more caught up in the horror and anguish part of the disaster instead of the opportunity to deepen our own ability to feel empathy and act purposefully.nnIronically, just prior to the hurricane hitting New Orleans, I was interviewed by two major magazines about the topic of empathy and how we can use the news as a trigger for mindfulness beyond the obvious information-sharing abo

Every now and then you have a day where that little negative voice in the back of your mind is continually trying to bring you down and bring you unstuck. It's that voice that says 'You're ugly', 'You can't do this' or 'You won't succeed at this'. I know I have them now and again, and I think everybody experiences this at some stage. The most important thing to remember here is that you are not alone and you can overide these thoughts with positive self talk. You see, the more you let them in the more influence they will have.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving Mothers play a critical role in the upbringing of the child.
