Never form attachments to your beliefs that are unbreakable in the face of a higher, more sensible truth... (Read on a social networking site - don't know who to credit)The theme that I've been requested to write about this time is BELIEVE. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what to write for this article. At first I thought it was going to be about "believing" in a higher power - or maybe "believing in yourself" and then I went down the path of thinking about beliefs and how they shape us and our world.What we believe truly does shape...
3 Tips to Get You Moving and Losing
Published:02/08/2013 11:10pm
One of the most widely accepted assumptions in our culture is that if you push yourself to exercise more, you will lose weight. And yet, often this is not the case. Obesity research shows that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly overstated. In fact, exercise can actually contribute to weight gain; or at least not result in the body fat loss you might expect. Surprised? Let me explain.It turns out that many people who engage in vigorous exercise are often more sedentary during the rest of the day. They frequently feel hungrier and end up eating more....

Most people dealing with stress especially chronic stress assume that there's no getting around it, and its just the way life has to be. But this is certainly not the case!Silencing the habitually negative mind is easier...
Living Your Spirited Life - Making Peace With MONergy

What is money really? For most of us in the Western world it's pieces of paper or plastic with numbers on it. The use of money to facilitate exchange of services evolved out of the barter system - it's much easier to carry around some greenbacks or a credit card to get what you need than it is to bring your cow downtown to the grocery and ask to exchange some milk for whatever else is on your shopping list now isn't it?The thing about money though is that we attach all kinds of other "energy" ties to it and so...

I'm sure you are familiar with the saying, "You are what you eat." In other words, to be fit and healthy, you need to eat good food.

In fact, more than 60 million Americans suffer from digestive disorders including heartburn, indigestion, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Poor digestion can result in fatigue, headaches, and depression - all of which can lead to weight gain.Making a few simple changes in the way you eat can make a...

Freedom Through Forgiveness
Published:01/31/2013 01:55am
Forgiveness is such a misunderstood term and subject. For many who have been traumatized, hurt, injured emotionally, mentally or physically the idea of forgiveness is difficult to grasp especially in the initial moments of the wounding. The most important idea that I wish to convey here is that forgiveness has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other person or their actions or behaviors. Forgiveness doesn't condone violence, bad behavior or abuse. Nor does it absolve the perpetrator from responsibility for his or her actions. Forgiveness is about releasing the story, the pain, the drama and the trauma from your world. Forgiveness...

What did you dream of when you were a little girl? Did you dream you'd grow up to be a teacher, a nurse, a mom, a pilot and astronaut? I remember when I was 9 years old - I loved to read - I read everything I could get my hands on - and one of the things I read every month - almost as soon as it arrived at the house was the Reader's Digest. At that time - back in the early 70's - they used to run a monthly article about the human body - specifically about the...

One of the most wonderful and amazing things that we can do for ourselves is to let ourselves receive. More often than not we are eager, willing and ready to give, give, give. We sometimes give SO much that we run out of energy and we end up depleted. How and why does this happen? Well it's quite interesting how the Universe works - in the Universe there is always a balanced and natural flow. Currency, circulation, electromagnetism, are all good examples of how this flow works - there are always two sides in a duality based Universe. When we keep...
