WHAT ABOUT MENTAL FOOD?

Most of the time, when we're discussing health and all kinds of health issues, we focus on food. However, let's remember that your mental state is just as significant to your health as what you do to it physically. In fact, it's SO important, that no physical disease can dissipate without the right mental programming to accompany it.

 If you've never read Louise Haye's "You Can Heal Your Life" book, you're missing out on an incredible treat. She explains (in very simple terms) how your mental thoughts contribute to your physical ailments. She even gives a glossary of diseases in the back of her book that correspond with the beginning thoughts that helped shaped that disease.

All of the many situations that happen to us in life, whether minor or major, are neatly compartmentalized into our subconscious. If these situations were hurtful, or you have felt guilty or remorseful about something, it will eventually show up in your health, whether you like it or not, or whether you're conscious of it or not.

"The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Law of Attraction" are just ways of helping you understand how to create a smoother, more successful life, with less complications. These forms of thought simply give you 'the secrets', 'the lessons', 'the tools' to make life work. So, don't 'pooh pooh' them away. Help is there when you're ready to embrace it.

The physical and the mental go 'hand-in-hand', and 'mental food' is just as powerful (if not more so) than physical food. 

Hope this is helpful, Janeska 

HOW WELL ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF?

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I DON'T HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS?

Don't get sick! Investigate and learn a lot more about natural health and you won't really need "Sick Benefits". In America, it's not health care you receive, it's sick care. We pay the medical profession to 'keep us sick'. Is this okay with you?

As you already know, millions upon million of Americans are without medical insurance. In fact, thousands of people die 'per year' because of it. So, you want to know what to do if you're in the same predicament.

 Believe it or not, it's not all bad. If you don't get hit by a bus, run over by a tractor or side swiped with a 100 foot crane, you're good! Natural health care is what you MUST do to stay healthy.

Don't fret about colon cancer, poor digestion, high blood pressure and all those other 'scary' diseases, just take care of yourself in a more, precise scientific way.

What you need to know is that quality 'nutrition' saves you from almost every disease man can conjure up in that incredibly expansive brain of his. Why? Because that's what the body must have to function properly. When you're putting in the proper nutrients (which medical science doesn't necessarily prescribe to), the body begins to repair itself, all by itself. All the body needs is for you to help it. Everyday, it's crying for you to give it more water, to eat foods with higher nutrients in them, to walk a little bit, to have fun and not be so doggone serious all the time, to laugh and to be kind. That's all it wants. It's easy when you know what to do.

Eighty to ninety percent of the people running to doctors are plagued with diseases that come from their own choices of poor, inadequate diets, no exercise, and stressful lifestyles. All that can be fixed and pretty easily, if I do say so myself. Your aunt, your mother, your brother, whomever, didn't have to suffer for years with liver problems or heart problems and then die or remain bedridden. All they needed to do was to change their diets and shift their lifestyles...only slightly.

So, here are a few pointers:

1) First, cleanse your colon with a quality, all natural cleaners. Some of them take a month, some of them longer, based on how many years of gunk you have impacted in your colon.

2) Avoid all foods that cause constipation for awhile. Add way more natural smoothies, natural fruits, fresh vegetables and stuff like that. If you are unable to avoid them altogether, just limit them and add a lot of the other stuff. Create a balance that makes it better for you.

3) Drinks lots more water and natural juices. Drink Soymilk instead of cow's milk. It's good. Test them out. Gives you more protein too. Add more pure protein substances to your diet, like natural protein powders, tofu, and soy products.

4) Take some time out everyday for yourself and your family. If you just keep going and going without relaxation and stress-free times, the stress drains all the vitamins and minerals you're putting in.

5) Add vitamins, minerals and herbs to your diet. Eliminate commercial seasonings with MSG, Nutrasweet, Splenda, and all those other carcinogens (poisons) that you put in your foods. Eat natural seasonings, cayenne, Mrs. Dash, Spike, natural herbs. 

Most importantly, once you begin implementing these new ways and a new diet, you won't need to run to the doctor all the time. I haven't been to a medical doctor in over 35 years (that I can remember) because I'm 100% healthy. If I do want to check something out, I go to a holistic doctor, an accupuncturist, an accupressurist, or someone else in the whole body healing field. Since your insurance generally won't pay for that, you have to pay for that visit anyway. Beats all that HMO and other medical insurance haggling.  Thank God for Michael Moore and his ability to tell us the truth. Go Michael Moore! Go Michael Moore! Go Michael Moore!

Besides, increased preventative care and taking care of the body enables you to think clearer and to be able to raise your level of awareness. Your brain becomes more creative and increases your ability to make more money and to do it in a way that is satisfying to your own inner self, instead of working jobs you hate. That alone, is worth the effort to change. Whadayathink? 

See YA! 

WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT YOUR HEALTH BENEFITS?

The other day a friend of mine took me to see "Sicko", the movie Michael Moore did on America's insurance companies revolving around your medical health. Knowing that this is a movie that directly affects all our lives, it was very disappointing to see such a small crowd turn-out at the theatre I went to.

Movies that have nothing to do with our everyday existence, were breaking box office numbers, while the very movie that gives us invaluable information on what keeps our families alive, was barely full. This is when I wonder if we're paying enough attention to what's important.

It's also another reason why I believe it's even more critical to practice 'prevention' and to keep ourselves in top-notch physical and mental condition. The rules and regulations of the American system are NOT looking out for family's best interest. Greed and unlimited money far outweigh our petty needs for survival and living a full, meaningful life.

Michael Moore clearly showed the differences between our medical system here and other systems throughout the world. What we need to ask ourselves is...1) Why don't we have available, easy care for everyone here? 2) Why do other countries have it and do extremely well with it? 3) Why aren't our professionals looking out for us?

Everyone in America needs to see this movie. "Sicko" lays this out in a way that is factual, believable and uses all 'real' people; not actors. It will tell you exactly where we stand on treating our people with respect and dignity, and giving them the kinds of care that they need, without a huge price tag and inferior service. You'll be amazed!

This is what I mean about being whole...mind, body and spirit. We must connect ourselves spiritually to the universe; we must take care of our bodies with proper nutrition and exercise, and we must keep our minds whole and healthy. When we take charge of our own experiences, we don't have to depend on insurance companies, pharmaceutical drugs, and debilitaing illnesses.

Be whole and we won't have to concern ourselves with all the costs that certain people keep dangling over our heads.

WHAT KIND OF CHOICES DO YOU MAKE?


The other day, one of my Godchildren called me from out of town. She's 23. She said that she was upset with herself because when her alarm clock goes off in the morning (the first time it goes off), she could get up then, but she doesn't. She continues to push the snooze button until she's late for work. And even though this may not bother some of us, she was really upset by this. She couldn't figure out why she does this same thing everytime!

Like I tell many people, "God is always trying to tell us something in many different ways. Either we listen or we don't." When we don't, we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. If you do what you've always done, you'll get the results you always get. Some infamous person said this same thing in another way. I don't remember how it was said, but I'm sure you get the point here.

For you to come up with different results in your life, you must make different choices. Some people are really afraid to make choices. But what they don't know is that whether you make a choice or not, everything has a consequence.You can make a very good choice or you can make a very bad choice, and you will eventually see the results of those choices. And even if you decide not to make a choice, you will get consequences from that also. Not making a choice, doesn't give you an 'out'. You will get a consequence anyway, even if you don't like what the consequence is.

I told my Goddaughter that I believe this incident with the alarm clock was simply trying to speak to her about the 'choices' she makes, and if she doesn't like the results of those choices, then she should choose differently. Sometimes, the subconscious thought about 'getting up late' can mean you're dissatisfied or unhappy about situations happening in your life (like you don't like your job or you're unhappy in a relationship; things like that) and your body responds accordingly. It will find ways to tell you that it really doesn't want to face the day. When the individual pays attention, no matter what the body is trying to say, most of the time we already know what the answer is. It lies 'deep within'. Be really silent and the answer will rise to the surface. Other times, it's already there, you just may not want to believe the answer, because you want it to be something else. Don't fight it! Embrace it! Your subconscious (your Higher voice) always knows what's best for you, even when you don't.

I had a general idea of what was going on in this situation, and both issues (dissatisfaction and choices) were probably speaking to her, nudging her to make more positive changes in her life. I don't know what choices she ended up making this time, but if changes don't occur in your life, when they come up, they will continue to come up until you acknowledge them and make the changes.

Our Free Will is one of the most important gifts we have! Isn't it time you used it to work for you? Choices, choices and more choices, this is a really cool thing. Are you making the right choices for your life? Just look around you and ask "Is this what I want for my life", and believe me, the answer is already there.

I've been told by others throughout my life that one of my greatest abilities is  understanding others and having great empathy for what they're going through. This is probably true because of my own continuous journey of Self-Improvement, Self-Discovery and Self-Realization that has been with me for as long as I can remember.

When you embace this way of life or this way of thinking, your life is an unending series of experiences. And these experiences range from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the mountain. All you have to do is be able to stay on the horse without falling off....if you can. However, if you do fall off, just get back on again.

When people are open to hearing about their own Self-Discovery, I simply say, there are many roads to Self-Discovery. The road you choose is totally up to you. Some roads get you there by the horse and buggy method and others get you there at the speed of light. It's just how fast you catch on and what you're willing to do to reach your highest inner potential

Embracing this journey can be a huge challenge for many people, but it is truly one of the greatest journeys you can take.

PATHS TO SELF DISCOVERY

Some people like to read all the self help books. It's a start, but, you can read self help books until you fall off the rockin' chair, because there are millions of them. Of course, by then, you've discovered that you got a whole lot of information that you haven't put into practice yet!

Some people like to attend all the self help seminars. Those are really cool! But at some point, you have to put some of this information into action, and besides, these are getting really expensive!

Some people actually believe they want to go to the Himalayas or some remote island and 'deprive themselves' of bodily comfort (like enlightened masters), except if they actually 'do it', they realize 'what in the hell were they thinking?'

Some people believe they'll reach this potential by adopting a particular religious belief. I'm sure that some people have actually re-discovered themselves this way, in every religion known to man. There truly are saints and sages of all religions. There's even saints and sages who don't adopt what we know as 'traditional' religious beliefs. There's even saints and sages that live without homes and shelter on our cities' streets, sad to say.  And even then, there's a few more steps to go.

In the 60's, some people believed they could reach Self-Discovery through 'a drug experience', and I'm sure some found out pretty quickly that this kind of immediate 'self-discovery' could be down right frightening, or even fatal...where their minds and bodies wanted to pass over to the other side to discover who they really were. I'd suggest not trying this method if you have no idea who you are, in the first place. And no, you're not your job, or your car, or your things!

Many of those who survived the 'drug experiences', and some of those who never had the 'drug experiences', continued to look further, toward even more deeper inner experiences. These were the people who already read the self-help books, went through successess and failures, went on 'a trip or two', went through various religious experiences, or knew that there was still something missing that they hadn't explored.

Even people who had surface religious experiences believed that they hadn't tapped the inner core of Self-Discovery and a real 'knowing'  of the Self that lies within.

After years of introspection, learning, and experiences, the speed of light Self-Discovers came upon the 'supreme inner joys of meditation'. And went "Wow! Where have you been all my life?"

Some explanations of Meditation are where a person gets into a state of concentration that allows them to focus their efforts on their thoughts or on their awareness (without thoughts).

Enlightened gurus or those who practice meditation regularly may say that meditation is a way of reuniting with reality or seeking God from within. The enlightened ones say, this is how"we actually reach what we call 'bliss', and true realization of the self, and our connection to God and the universe". Once you reach this state, there is no need to ask anyone else what your universal connection is. Pretty heavy, huh?

So, whatever you choose to do on your own personal journey, don't delay! If you're tired of being sick, tired of unhappiness, tired of the same oh, day in and day out routine, and tired of the condition of the world we live in, ask yourself, "Have I tried meditation, yet?"  And in most cases, I think I already know the answer to that one.

One of the greatest sources for learning about meditation is Self-Relization Fellowship. It's a worldwide organization, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. They've been teaching it for years. It's simple, and the lessons are inexpensive and they will come directly to your house each week. You can go to www.selfrealizationfellowship.org and read about it for yourself. And when you're ready for the 'speed of light' way to self-discovery, you'll have it right at the tip of your fingertips, right at the click of your mouse, and right at the tip of your heart, where it has always been.

UNTIL NEXT TIME!

There's so many roads to Self-Improvement and Self-Discovery, that sometimes I wonder why we're not further along in our wordly development. But when I think about it again, I realize that many people are afraid of 'Discovering Who They Are'. In fact, I've heard we're more afraid of becoming 'great', than we are of  being 'failures.

Hypnosis (done by a Certified Hypnotherapist) happens to be one of those significant paths to Self Discovery. It enables a person to release huge parts of any negative subsconscious thoughts.

These thoughts are what people actually 'live by', many times without even being consciously aware of them. For example, if you grew up where every time you did something 'good', your parents gave you a 'high calorie dessert' like cake, pie, donuts, whatever, and you thought that was a wonderful expression of their love. Whether you realize it or not, that same subconscious thought is still with you today. Not only is the 'dessert' representative of something sweet tasting and good, it represents 'love' from your parents and recognition for your accomplishments. You've literally attached more significance to it than just being the 'dessert' itself.

So now, in your current adult life, every time something 'good' happens, you treat yourself to a 'dessert', and even when something bad happens, you treat yourself to a dessert, because now it's more a habit and a very addictive habit, at that. In most cases, you can't figure out why you can't lose weight. You never stop to think that your subconscious is leading you in your destructive behavior. And this is only one example of how the subconscious gets formed from early childhood. There are millions of other examples, leading to the same results.

In a Hypnotherapy (Hypnosis) session, a trained professional helps you discover some of the sources from which your problems arise and helps you eliminate the source. It's kind of like pulling a bad plant out of the ground and cleaning out the area where the seed and the roots grow. Whala! Now, you can plant another seed...a seed that produces a better plant and in your case, a better habit with better results.

Hypnosis is nothing to be afraid of. People see all kinds of 'junk' on TV and hear all kinds of made-up stories from people who don't know a doggone thing about hypnosis. You're being hypnotized many times throughout the day and throughout your life time (with very negative influences). Why not change that path of 'negativity' into a more positive one? Like I always say, "If you're afraid of hypnosis, it's too late". You're always being hypnotized, even when you don't know it. Hypnotherapists are the 'good guys'. They make it better.

So, educate yourselves! Read up on the Benefits of Hypnotherapy. Inquire about some of the incredible Hypnotherapists in your area. Get to know some. If you take this path, believe me, you'll never regret it. They're here to help you, when you let them. It happens to be one of the fastest ways I know to change the inner self; one of the fastest ways I know to make you feel better, and one of the fastest ways I know to make your life look like the life you used to dream about!

We've been so misinformed about health that we have no clue that we literally make ourselves sick. What we've been led to believe is that 'illnesses' kinda run around with little hands and feet and somehow 'grab us' as we're walking by. So what we think is that they 'grab us' because we're just not quick enough to escape from them. Not true, my friends, not true.

Illnesses work from the 'inside out'. When a person catches a cold, seemingly because everyone at work or at home have it, it's not just because of that, that makes the cold appear.  It's because your inner immune system is deficient (in some way) and is not able to fight off what's coming in. The person (at work) who doesn't catch the cold has either held the cold off with a powerful thought process, and/or held the cold off because their immune system is strong enough to do so. Illnesses can (and do) also come about due to situations arising out of mental and spiritual dysfunctions. On the other hand, really strong mental and spiritual beings can literally ward off all kinds of things, including illnesses.

Here's what I mean:
All of us have three distinct parts of our being. In fact, we all have what I call PMS. Sorry, all you macho type guys out there, but you have it too! The Physical, Mental and Spiritual parts of ourselves (no matter who we are) exist whether we want them to or not.

The Spiritual parts of ourselves have been called many things...the Higher Self, our Subconscious, the god within, our divine essence, and much, much more. The significant thing is that no matter what label someone wants to call it, it's our own inner Spirit, with or without the label. (This is not our religious self, it's simply our spiritual self. Religion and Spirit are two different things altogether.) Even if a person doesn't believe in God, they still have a 'Spirit self.' The analogy is, "even if a person doesn't believe in air (because you can't see it, can't taste it and it's not tangible by itself, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that it's not there", because it is.

So, when you hear people say, "They're spiritual and not religious", this is what they mean, on a very basic level.They understand they are Spirit and have some idea how that spirit works.

I'm telling you all this, because it has a lot to do with how we create disease, either consciously or unconsciously. When your Spirit is broken, when your Spirit doesn't feel good, when your Spiritual energy is low, you begin to create disease, inwardly. Some people can begin to be sick on a spiritual level alone. Some people can begin creating sickness on both a spiritual and mental level, and some people can be sick on all three levels. This means that 'you're jacked up for real!'

Native Americans were very well aware of Spirit. They always talked about The Great Spirit and also knew that the Spirit resided inside of them, outside of them, and in everyone and everything. The people who came in to destroy them, said their belief in such a crazy notion was 'wrong' and that they needed to stop deluding themselves about their so-called Spirits, and to embrace the beliefs they tried to impose upon them. The beliefs they tried to impose upon the American Indians were more about 'control' and 'manipulation', not about helping them.These new beliefs confused them, and eventually led to their demise. they were tricked into denouncing all the incredible aspects of their most powerful inner selves that they had actually experienced in their lives. They had seen the power of their inner selves revealed and had seen their inner spirits work many miracles in their lifetime.

Others who came into destroy them, introduced 'alcohol' to them, because they realized 'alcohol' really messed with their pure inner spirits. Once they saw what the 'alcohol' did to their 'power', they brought more and more of it, to get them hooked, and to make them lose their natural powers and rational ability to think. Their pure spirits were being destroyed little by little. It eventually caused them such severe harm, that it was just one more thing that both directly and indirectly, wiped out almost their entire race.

The irony is that the same people who introduced the alcohol to the Indians, ended up calling 'alcohol' 'spirits'. These 'fake spirits' were created to destroy the 'real spirits', and to keep Supreme Spiritual people from remembering who and what they really were. This was truly a travesty, because these same beliefs were passed down to all of us. In the process, these new beliefs made many of us forget that we have always been Supreme Spiritual beings, connected to our Creator and made in the Creator's likness. How cool is that!

In contemporary times, when Spirits are broken (the same as in the past), people turn to the 'fake spirits' and start that cycle of sickness that causes disease on many levels. Even more significant than that, the 'fake spirits' take a lot of the people a long way away from remembering their inner majesty. In fact, most, never find their way back. So, on our spiritual side, this is how and where sicknesses reside.

On the mental side, illnesses begin to develop mostly from 'repressed emotional issues' that happen in the family or with people in our lives that have had great influence(especially when we were young).

When we're developing, and are extremely vunerable, we're literally 'learning our subconscious behavior'. Family, friends and peers are creating our inner life script. If that script tells us something is wrong with us, or something is amiss, we take it in as 'fact' and it becomes a part of our subconscious behavior. On this level, we too, start sicknesses. Some sicknesses are short-term. Some sicknesses last a lifetime. 

When we get older, if we're able to decipher 'out' some of those early negative experiences, we usually don't spend a lifetime of diseases that we pass on to our bodies. Other times, we just don't know that we do it, because we don't even remember what (or who) gave us 'the negative programming in the first place'.

Our physical side is what accepts the spiritual or mental dysfunction and leads us toward the situations, foods, thoughts, etc. that bring the conditions out in a physical way. Now, we have liver disease, cancer, headaches, diabetes, or whatever else you want to name. This has become the trickle down effect and manifested into the physical world.

Of course there are going to be a whole bunch of people out there who say this is absolutely ridiculous. Oh well! That's okay. Whatever level you can understand anything on is simply where you are in your understanding. It's not a bad thing or a good thing. It just is.

For those of you who are open-minded enough to embrace it or even to investigate it in some way, you will eventually find the path that shows you the results of what I'm saying here.

COMING BACK DOWN TO EARTH

No matter what level you think your physical illness is on, there are many natural approaches you can take to health.

1) On the Spiritual side, you can learn to meditate, do Yoga, or learn Tai Chi. These aspects of life, help calm and balance your Spirit. They help you get in touch with your Spiritual side. Once you're in touch with it, and not living totally on the surface, you'll realize what this really means. Seek results and you won't have to ask anybody.

2) On the Mental side, you can take soothing herbs for your mind, reduce your stress level, get better sleep for more mental clarity, and simply sit still at times and just be quiet. You can do that TLC thing by getting some massages, taking a long bath, going on a mental vacation from all your worries and burdens.

3) On the Physical side, it's about supplying the body with the nutrients it needs...fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, fresh juices, pure water, and natural herbs. It's about exercise and feeling good and really taking care of yourself. If you're not doing any of these things, you'd better get busy, if you want to stay around awhile and especially if you want to stay around awhile, without pain and misery.

If you've forgotten who you are, I'm here to shock you back into reality. You're a powerful, awesome, incredible Spiritual being, who is living on planet earth, encased in the body you chose to live in. Tap back into your spiritual source from within and realize that you've got something to do, and the longer you cover up your 'true self', the longer you deny your unmistakable greatness that lies within.
