Let Your Food Be Your Medicine: The Ayurvedic Approach to Nutrition
|
 by Vishnu Dass, LMT, NTS, CAyu. / Founder of Blue Lotus Ayurveda Center
What makes food truly Ayurvedic is the fact that it is selected and cooked according to the specific needs of the individual, or that it is balanced for all doshas. Many of the spices used in Ayurvedic cooking such as turmeric, ginger, cumin, fenugreek, coriander and cardamom, amongst others, are also medicinal herbs used in Ayurvedic herbology. Cooking daily with those spices can greatly enhance digestion, absorption and assimilation of food, improve one's appetite and elimination, nourish the internal organs and prevent doshic imbalance. Spices also provide a harmonious blend of the six tastes. Taste is medicinal and is the first form of nourishment. A meal containing a balanced blend of the six tastes, aside from being more appealing to the tongue, is also more digestible at a deep cellular level. Modern research is now validating the benefits of many of the herbs and spices used in Ayurvedic cooking. Turmeric for instance, is highly effective in the treatment of type two diabetes, skin diseases, infections and hepatic and inflammatory disorders. Cumin, coriander, fennel, nutmeg and cardamom are extremely helpful in the treatment of a wide variety of digestive complaints, as is ginger for the treatment of respiratory congestion, fevers and colds. There are literally thousands of medicinal uses to such spices. Even today in much of rural India the wisest doctors are often the mothers and grandmothers who know the uses of their “kitchen pharmacies.”

Topaz - Good for Creative Energies, Awakening Sleeping Gifts
|
 by Stephanie Pflumm / Owner of Ozark Rock Exchange
Many ancient traditions and beliefs have created a brilliant history for Topaz. Egyptians thought the Imperial Topaz was the captured light of the Sun God Ra. It was worn in amulets for protection from accident or attacks. Greeks and Romans also associated the golden crystals with their Sun God, Jupiter. They believed the stone increased their strength and could neutralize enchantments. Bushmen in Africa used Topaz in healing ceremonies and rituals to connect with ancestral spirits. If you are on a journey of spiritual change, Topaz makes an excellent companion. It teaches you to trust in the Universe to guide and provide, aiding you in fully recognizing the magical laws of attraction and manifestation and your ability to manipulate them. Meditations with a stone will help awaken your sleeping gifts and illuminate your co-creative energies. The crystal helps you become more aware of your personal world, and the power you have to bring about positive changes. It strengthens your confidence to make decisions that are correct for you, giving you the fire and motivation you need to follow through on your choices. Work with Topaz to make your dreams your reality.

Aphrodisiacs: Increasing Sexual Desire and Capacity
|
 By Al Link and Pala Copeland / Tantra Instructors, 4 Freedoms Relationship Tantra
Aphrodisiacs are never an alternative to healthy sexual attitude, doing your inner work to remove psychological barriers to sexual intimacy, or sexual skill mastery, but they can be lots of fun. Aphrodisiacs may also be exactly what is needed when sexual dysfunction is caused by physiological/organic causes, e.g., peripheral vascular disease, hardening of the penile arteries, diabetes mellitus, prostate enlargement, high levels of pituitary gland hormone prolactin, low testosterone, menopause and andropause (the male’s version of menopause). This article includes a brief summary of several aphrodisiacs that can enhance your sexual desire, help you experience more pleasure and perform better as a lover. We explain their general properties, how to use them, and where to get them. They may be worth experimenting with, but be warned, many of the substances mentioned may have side effects for some people. Nothing we say here is intended as medical advice.

The Shaman Within |
by Prissy Hamilton / Author of A Rainbow Within - An Introduction of the Emotional Energies for Children
Taking our clues from film, the written word, and television, through shows like National Geographic, we can begin to relate a bit to the Shaman. The tasks he is able to accomplish and the healing he is able to set in motion. The removal, or change of confused, spiral thinking, feeling, and actions. The stopping of our participation with the stresses. In comes the Shaman, headdress on, painted and dudded up in attire that befits the chaser of confusions, illusions and fears. He dances, he sings, he rattles bones, he chants, and he steps high, waves his arms, sprinkles magic dust into the fire of life and speaks in a tongue foreign to our controlled and contrite way of thinking. His job is serious and he behaves in ways that the controlled mind and the dead set emotions cannot possibly follow. This action, while, to the onlooker, may seem archaic and silly, breaks the thought process, stops the spiraling of negative progression, in the subject who has come for help. The ceremony, the dance, the chanting and the rattling creates a break in the confused state, a clear space, where a ladder to reality can be found. It stops the internal banter, if only for a few minutes, but long enough to allow the subject to reconnect to the reality of the situation. It clears the fog, chases the blues, produces a crack in the foggy midst.

Blog Your Way To a Successful Private Practice
|
 by Juliet Austin / Marketing Coach, Consultant & Copywriter
Counselors, therapists and other healing professionals often shy away from using technology when marketing their practices. While there are many effective ways to market your practice that don't involve technology and the web, the Internet increasingly becomes an essential method to utilize when starting and marketing a practice. Furthermore, if you market your practice on the Internet in addition to using offline techniques, you are creating a lot more exposure for your services. Blogs are just one more method of marketing your practice.
Fortunately, much of the technology involved in setting up and managing a blog is very simple. This makes it easy for you to manage and update content on a blog by yourself. You can get a blog up and running in a few minutes without having any technical skills whatsoever. Blogs also are way to connect with your target market more personally. Because blogs are updated frequently, they allow "your voice" to come through more easily than a static website. Finally, search engines love blogs because of their numerous and frequent posts as well as the common linking that occurs amongst those in the blogosphere (the blogging community).

 Adventures At Sea & Within
Feel the exhilaration and ease of One Heart with these incredibly graceful creatures. Release all judgment, fear and shame as you spend days snorkeling with the largest mammals on the planet, and take a trip out-of-this-world!
There is much to learn from spending time in the warm Dominican waters of the Silver Bank with the Humpback Whales. Seeing a mother caress and encourage a calf, only weeks old, the caring of these giants fills your heart. Watching the calves learn to dive and spin, you'll be mesmerized by their daring playfulness, as they swim closer and closer to the human pod. Hearing and feeling the unique sound of a whale singing only feet below you, your entire body tingles with the vibrations of love, acceptance, and peace. Eyeing the valentine dance of a female in heat, you cannot contain the all-over excitement in witnessing the sheer gracefulness of a 90,000-pound animal - looking like a ballerina.
Every day you will watch, near and far, as rowdy males tail and pec flap, along with hours and hours of breaching, while they compete for the courtship of a female. Every day you will see sights only witnessed by a small fragment of the human world. For details on this trip visit www.captaincarla.com or call 508-397-9171.
