Seven Simple Ways to Eat Healthier |
 by Monique N. Gilbert, B.Sc. / Author of Virtues of Soy: A Practical Health Guide and Cookbook
The key to better health is learning the difference between healthy and unhealthy nutrients. The choices we make greatly affect our health. Making a few simple healthy and nutritious changes in our dietary choices can have a profound and positive impact on our health, well-being, energy levels and life span. Eating nutrient-dense foods that are high in antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber help the body function optimally, promote overall well-being and improve digestion. These nutrients also help fight and prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes, strengthens the immune system, slows the aging process, increases energy and improves cognitive performance.
Additionally, as we age our appetite lessens, making it even more critical to choose foods wisely. When every bit counts, picking foods with the highest nutritional profile is more important than ever. An easy way to make your nutritional choices is to look for foods that are bright in color, for they usually contain more beneficial vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. For example, red and pink grapefruit have the heart-healthy cancer-fighting antioxidant phytochemical called lycopene while white grapefruit does not. This article includes seven simple ways to start eating healthier, and a recipe for Strawberry Orange Sorbet.

Using Herbs Simply And Safely
|
 by Susun S. Weed / Author and voice of the Wise Woman Way
Plants feed us, clothe us, house us, heal us, and kill us. There's no way around it, when you use herbs, you need to be alert and aware. This article includes some ways to be sure you're using herbs safely. Seek out the worth of the weeds on your doorstep. Learn about, eat, or use as a remedy, one wild food/medicine that grows in your yard or nearby lot this year. When you make your own medicines and healing foods you eliminate one of the possible dangers of crude herb use: mistaken identity (or right label, wrong herb). Not that you can't make mistakes, but you're more likely to catch your own mistake than someone else's. When you make your own medicines and healing foods, they are fresh, full of energy, and in tune with you and your environment. You'll also feel better as you become more aware of the vitality and abundance of nature expressing herself everywhere.
Begin with gentle nourishing and tonifying herbal infusions and vinegars. Watch carefully for side effects during the first 24 hours the first time you use any new plant. Don't worry if it takes your system a couple of tries to figure out how to digest a new food/herb; that's normal. Use herbal tinctures after you have some grounding in the use of herbs as foods and infusions. Start with the smallest recommended dose and build up slowly if needed.
Build up a foundation of trust in the healing effectiveness of plants by using remedies for minor problems before tackling serious concerns.

Gaining Self-Esteem with EFT |
 by Carna Zacharias-Miller, EFT-CC, EFT-ADV / EFT Practitioner
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), developed by Gary Craig, is an emotional form of acupressure. You tap with your fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points on your body while you are “tuned in” to your problem. The cause of every negative emotion lies in the disruption of the body’s energy system. EFT is usually rapid, long-lasting and gentle. No need for drugs or equipment. It is easily learned by anyone, children included. Let’s say you had a father who told you that you were a failure and that you would never amount to anything. In this case, you could first tune into the pain and the anger surrounding this relationship and tap on these feelings. Most likely, memories will come up. Was there a specific situation when he put you down? What did you feel? Go through every memory and feeling. Often, the emotional intensity decreases immediately. Another example: You have low self-esteem, because you are overweight. There are several approaches possible. Do you have any cravings? Tap on each and every one of them. Do you dislike your body? Tap on your specific feeling. Emotional pain? Get specific and tap on it.
Sometimes, especially with complex problems, it is more effective to do the tapping under the guidance of an EFT practitioner. However, any tapping on a specific issue and the pain, anger, or sadness that surrounds it, helps. Dissolve the negative emotions that control your life, and high self-esteem emerges – naturally.

While Focused On Addictions, What Are We Missing?
|
by Raymond M. Landry / Self Power Consulting
In the present day conversation about "addictions" in the world, and the tendency to seek more and more pharmaceutical or medically based answers to controlling moods and behavior, we are still not succeeding to curb "addiction". And whether we argue that we've diminished some use, in some ways, for some people, we are, as a society, finding new ways to "amuse" ourselves (i.e. - gambling, internet, porn). I'm not making that about good, bad, right, or wrong. No. To me it's more about "what results are we getting?" Are they the results we want, individually, or as a society, or not? And do we even know what else to do, if not what we're already doing? We keep adding even more pills and methodologies in a world that believes that there are entirely too many of those already, yet not the right ones at times. So I am left to wonder, "What else?" What else are we not paying attention to, by paying attention to the things we are paying attention to?! What else may be just beyond our line of sight that we are not able to see, because of our focused attention on the things we are trained to see? I am left wondering how long and how difficult it will be, if not impossible, to keep addressing issues like addictions at an environmental and behavioral level and expect things to change, when what I believe we are dealing with is the deeply and long held beliefs, values, and attitudes we all carry about ourselves, as people, as a society, and as a species.

Negative Ions in Salt a Natural Rejuvenator
|
 by Isabella Samovsky / Owner of Natural-Salt-Lamps.com
For generations Europeans have been well aware of the health benefits of
negative ions and for treatment of chronic congestion problems sign up for a
month stay in Salt Mines. This treatment is called Speleotherapy. The very
dry, negative ion-rich environment of these salt mines helps to clear out
the patients’ bronchial tubes and sinuses, and to kill bacteria and other
microbes. There are several salt mines around the world and some of them are in the
Himalayan mountain range. The salt coming from these mines is one of the
purest remaining on earth. It still contains all natural minerals that are
taken away through the refining process to produce our common table salt.
Crystal salt not only contains sodium chloride, but also around 84
elements, the same found in human blood, making it compatible and
replenishing to our bodies. High concentrations of negative ions are essential for high energy and positive mood.
Bioenergetics vibrations improve the energy level and strengthen one's
nervous system, harmonize the function of sexual glands, and even help to
promote sexual energy.

Affirmations Alone Don't Work
|
 by Hu Dalconzo / Founder Of
Holistic Learning Centers
Affirmations, alone, simply don't work! You must clean the slate of your mind and stop creating your old negative beliefs before your affirmations will create the reality you desire. If you do not learn how to dis-create your negative beliefs, you will only be thinking thoughts that are pre-maturely positive! Until you can honestly and courageously view what really happened to you, with a non-judgmental attitude, you won't be able to see the truth about your dharmic predicament. One of the main reasons people repress their childhood feelings is because they love and respect their parents, and at an unconscious level they see them as perfect. Remembering how you truly felt as a child, and learning how to feel and process your feelings using your adult powers, is the major healing intention of these Self-mastery Processes. Once you learn how to surface and express your true feelings, you'll free your Self from the past. You'll no longer be carrying unfinished emotional business from the past into the present. Your past will no longer contaminate your present. This will free up huge amounts of your life force energy, which you can then use to empower your Self and others.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK |
Abounding in wisdom and humor, Jed McKenna's books, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing, and Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment contain a simple message: Confront life honestly. If you want to know, ask. If you want to see, look. Beyond all philosophies and religions, further than any spiritual path can go, there is truth: perfect, directly-knowable, self-verifiable, one-without-other truth. And the only thing standing between you and truth, says McKenna, is you.
