Anxiety can be a healthy, natural response to situations, which can keep us alive and motivate us. As well as being part of the creative process in performing or doing the things we love to do before others or on our own - it can keep us "sharp."

I was in my late 30’s, at the height of my performing career, but my body felt like I was ready for the junk heap. My back hurt almost all the time. I was going to the chiropractor, massage therapist and acupuncturist just to be able to keep getting on the stage. I was convinced that I had something terribly wrong with me. One time, I peeked at the chiropractor’s chart to see my diagnosis. It said “Lumbago.” Wow. I was impressed. Then I looked it up. Lumbago means lower back

he birth of the idea for Dare to Grow Up was germi- nated by a conclusio I came to after thirty years of private practice as a psychological healer: nearly all of my clients are significantly confused about living with effective boundar- ies. This boundary disorientation transcends socio-economic class and levels of education. It appears that the issue of good boundaries is as much a cultural phenomenon as it is a result of any early family experience. I then asked the quest

How many times have you heard this when you ask someone how they’re doing: “I’m FINE! And you?”…and, you simply KNEW that you were being fed a line of hooey? How often has that happened to you with men as opposed to women? Perhaps, in these times, it’s an even more important question to ask, “When you hear it, and you know it’s BS, what do you do (particularly when it’s a friend)?”

How can a successful person brimming with self confidence be found speechless and uncomfortable? Expectation. The trap of human expectation can get the best of us at any time, place, or situation. When you perceive something or someone around you (that affects you) has changed, what do you do? ...

Do you know the fact that your baby’s brain contains a hundred billion neurons at birth and in his early years, he’ll produce 3-times more brain cell connections known as neural synapses? Yes, this is completely true! The brain wiring works on the rule of ‘using it or losing it.’ If synapses in the baby’s brain aren’t wired together through simulation, it will be pruned back during the early years of school. Although, it has also been prove

“Grandpa, what's it like to be grown up?” “You want a big answer? Or a little one? “Little.” “Well, then. Being grownup is like having two arms and two legs. You need them before you can run around and do what you came here to do. Come here and sit on my lap. Now give me your legs. See, you have to have two legs in order to walk and run, right?” “I guess so.” “Well, you do. Now this leg,” Grandpa put his hand on Jimmy’s left knee. This one let’s call ‘enough.’ You have to have enough for this leg to grow long and strong.

Do you have trust issues with your partner (and/or someone you’re not romantically involved with)? If you don’t, you’re a rarity. With so many couples I work with, it looks like communication’s a major issue (which it is), but more often than not, the more fundamental issue you’re dealing with is what you trust and what you don’t with your partner. If you’re in this dilemma, odds are that your willingness to mend your heart, and get majorly re-connected with your partner has become inextricably linked with your mind demanding that the other person prove to you that they’re trustworthy.

As I have stated many times, healing begins and occurs when a change in the pattern of a person’s life changes. This is a major shift in attitude, when the entire person decides to start anew. The person feels a shift, an epiphany and from that moment on, things are different. Working one on one with a person, this shift occurs easily and quickly and it occurs on the 2nd to 4th session.r

CAUTION: If you happen to be someone who doesn’t have ANY kind of Spiritual path/philosophy you care about (or don’t believe YOU have a Spirit that guides you in any way), please don’t read any further. Doing so will either confuse you and/or piss you off.

If we were to diagram most adult relationships as stick figure art, we would have a confusion of interlocking lines. Even if different colors were used for each person, arms and leg lines would show a lot of confusion, struggle and oppositional positioning. That's because for the most part we continue to deal with adult love relations much as we did in our original families. And we have secondary lines of confusion with our children, larger families, close friends, and, of course, worst enemies.

Book Review: Get Your Self Straight By Rebecca Halstead (a.k.a. J.D. Rhodes) The world was handing out navigational tools for me the year this set of matter-of-fact, quick read books wrote themselves. That was 2006, and they were the tools I needed to answer some pretty common questions in ...

Three years ago, a young 22-year-old man my son knew was walking along a local overpass that is one of the busiest traffic corridors in the Boulder area. For some reasons that we’ll never really know, this young man – deeply loved by his family and his friends – made a decision; one that ignited ripples of impact across the lives of so many other people. He decided to follow through with a choice he must have made before even getting to the overpass. He went to the railing, hiked one leg and then the other over the railing, and made the last decision of his life when he jumped.

Ok, if you’re not a Pink Floyd fan – and/or haven’t listened to the Dark Side Of The Moon album (it’s been pointed out to me recently, by the way, how badly I’m dating myself by even using the term “album”) – this article may take you a bit more time to get in the groove of. There’s a song on the Dark Side album called “Speak To Me/Breathe.” The first verse contains the following lyrics: Breathe, breathe in the airr Don’t be afraid to carer Leave but don’t leave mer Look around, choose your own groundr For long you live and high you flyr

Medicine and healthcare have been one of the most researched and studied branches of Science for centuries. There are records of use of medicines as early as 500 B.C. Research and development over millions of years has led to the establishment of the current structured healthcare system. Documentation of patient records is an integral component of healthcare and mandatory in many countries which rely on insurance-based healthcare systems. Early forms of healthcare documentat

Do you feel stuck? Are you looping around and around the same issue and feel hopeless? Is it with your health? Is it financial? Is it with relationships? Do you need some answers on how to get off the cycle of doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results?r

A relationship is when both parties participate into the communication. Well when you ‘feel’ you want to eat to go eat the food speaks to you by the triggers you already have installed in your body. These triggers fires up the times when you ‘feel’ you want to eat. Most of the times these triggers are in your sub-conscience and you simply re-act to them to satisfy your-self - eating. Do you know how much food do you need to satisfy your appetite? Do you have food compulsions?

Take a deep breath. Your trapped for an evening, at a dinner party, where the seats are assigned, and your sitting next to a couple of religious fanatics. They are proselytizing their doctrine, and there is no room for discussion. Arguing with a fanatic is like trying to wrestle with a grizzly bear. There is no room for debate and you will feel as your head has been ripped off.

A primary conflict within relationships gets labeled “trust issues.” He needs to trust her to be there for him and she must trust him to remain interested only in her. We have a social convention that sexual fidelity tells us who is trustable and anyone cheating cannot be trusted.

Overbites are a dental condition where your jaw becomes misaligned and forces your teeth to sit more forward in your mouth than normal. To determine if you have an overbite, bite down like you normally would and look at your teeth in a mirror. If your front teeth even partially cover any of your lower teeth, then you have an overbite. Having any form of overbite is incredibly common condition and this causes many people assume that they do not cause any ill dental or health e

During this challenging period of world wide changes, people I work with seem to be struggling more than ever. I see clients that are finding it difficult to find work, other’s who are going through horrible divorces, and many that are dealing with health crisis’s. The emotions that seem to be underlying all this, is an enormous amount of stress, anxiety, and a general sense of feeling overwhelmed. Well, since I just mentioned the problem, let’s not dwell there too long, and switch our attention right to the solution!r

Growing up with nine siblings, all with big personalities, was quite a rich and deep experience. My role in such a large Irish Catholic family was “the peacemaker”. With everyone close in age there were always arguments over who got the prize at the bottom of the cereal box, or fighting over socks and Catholic school uniforms.r

“How are you Susan? “, asks my mother. I respond with “very busy Mom”. She quickly replies with,”busy is good”. I agree that busy is good if there is some balance with rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. For some reason, it seems as if our culture is getting busier and busier and as if people don’t have time for things of the heart. I speak truly from my own experience and through observation! We rush from errand to meeting, to flight, to phone call, to email. It feels as if our culture is one big marathon! We should walk, not run.r

I constantly go to the hardware store looking for apples! Why do I expect to get soothing support from those people that are unable to provide a compassionate ear, and instead I receive critical and judgmental verbal abuse. Because that may be an old unconscious pattern that doesn’t serve me well anymore.r

Once considered a secondary science, eye care has become a prominent field of health care in the last few decades. The eye care industry has even branched out to include the area of cosmetics and fashion: Today, you can find contact lenses and spectacles glasses in an endless variety of styles and colors – even special effects, theatrical contacts. It is, however, the contacts themselves that have transformed the eye care industry and turned the spotlight to style and fashi

Traveling across the southweste states, I've visited a hundred archeological sites built by pueblo peoples. One curious fact has to do with names given to them. Toozigoot, a ruin near Sedona, Arizona, is a Comanche word meaning “crooked waters.” Nearby is Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma's Well, attributing Aztec origins to ruins that pueblo peoples constructed. In New Mexico, Santa Clara Pueblo is the name given by Spanish invaders and Coronado State Park is dedicated to the village that conquistador's expedition camped at for a winter, eating all their precious stores of grain.

There is a thought that aging has to do with the passage of time but this thought takes us in a direction that is misleading. This makes us think that we age because we gradually become less effective because we grow and age as time passes. In this view every year that passes brings us closer to ...

As a baby we have one fear, we fear being separated. This is a survival mechanism, for if we are separated from our mother - we will perish. Though this is not necessarily so today, in our civilized world, this fear of separation is still inherited from our past. While we are attached to an outer object (mother) and while we are in the womb, we are protected and safe. When we enter the world and are free from our safe womb, we still need the attachment of this same outer object. For we have changed little from being in the womb, we can breathe air but we are even more vulnerable.

Since I was a very young child, I was given the gift of deep compassion for other people’s pain. For some reason it was almost as if I could jump into other people’s bodies and see through their eyes and hear through their ears. I knew how they felt and it would literally break my heart.r

Do you ever notice how much time you spend trying to “figure out what’s going on” in your life…and in your relationship, if you’re in one? If it ends up being a fair amount of time, how’s it working for you? When you do get some “answers,” what’s the most common result you get from having obtained that answer? Furthermore, where do those “answers” most frequently come from for you?…others?….your mind?….your heart?….or, from your intuition?

Often we hear anger called a negative emotion. Like the creator made a mistake in the original design of humanity—the kind of mistake typical of humans. Maybe it was just a slip of the spoon when adding ingredients, or inadvertent reactiveness between two benign components (like barbiturates and alcohol). Before we blame the cosmos for anger issues, it might be useful to step back and take a look at what we label anger. For one thing, anger has very different flavors. The first kind we all experienced was infant anger about not being cared for adequately.

How to achieve inner peace. • Be aware, accept and love each part of yourself. • Know that each part has a positive intent, no matter how negative you think the part is. • Each part (that is troubling you) is an identity of a young child trying to survive a trauma and is stuck in that memory. When the part feels that you love and accept it, and it feels safe, then the part can detach from the memory and the part then unites with you and matures. The conflict, separation and fragmentation disappears.

Sometimes called "crazy making," mental abuse is when one person in a relationship tries to convince another that the other is insane, in order to hide guilt about the abuser's own wrongdoings.

Your mindset determines how you see the world. It determines your perception of the world, and this perception is like a filter. The great thing about filters is that they can be adjusted.

What if it were adjusted to also filter out heavy metals and other harmful chemicals? That would be better, wouldn't it? Well, your perception can be adjusted too.
