Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Health | Leave a Comment
“Some of the many health conditions that acupressure can be helpful in treating include nausea (especially in cancer patients), fibromyalgia, back pain, and arthritis, among others.”
In a recent double-blind clinical trial* (at the School of Nursing at the China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan), premature infants received meridian massage (acupressure) three times per day for 15-minute sessions over a course of 10 days. During the acupressure sessions, (prior to feedings) the study group (of premature infants) had their abdomens rubbed, received stomach meridian massage and other acupressure kneading applications.

Posted on April 29, 2008 - Filed Under Motivational | Leave a Comment
You repeat your affirmations, you visualize…but something’s missing.
I received an e-newsletter with a comment from a highly successful individual arguing that positive thinking doesn’t work and why. He also claimed that when he expresses this opinion, some people get their knickers in a knot, especially those who’ve spent decades reading the books and attending seminars and, he added, without any significant change in their lives. Here are some other points he made.

During a divorce and long after it’s final, your children will be asking you questions that make you squirm. Making them feel awful about the other parent that they still love is playing dirty.
Anytime we have disagreements with other people, it is our instinct as human beings to have someone on our “side.” When you get divorced or are getting divorced, it is very tempting to talk with friends and family about who was “right” or “wrong” or who the fault lies with in the divorce. It’s okay, it’s even therapeutic, to discuss your situation with your adult friends and family. It’s tempting to talk about who was at fault in the marriage with your children also, but don’t do it. Don’t discuss how horrible you think your ex is at all.

Trace Mineral Vanadium Against Diabetes?
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under 403 | Leave a Comment
Vanadium is a previously little known trace mineral now attracting great interest amongst nutritional therapists
Vanadium is a curious trace element and somewhat difficult to write about. It is a little known trace mineral which seems to be required by the body in relatively tiny amounts, and it is not even clear that it is absolutely necessary at all. But there is nevertheless increasing excitement about its potential therapeutic value. Low blood levels of vanadium have been associated with increases in cholesterol and blood sugar, and it is also believed by some researchers that the mineral may play a role in maintaining the vital balance between sodium and potassium in cells. These characteristics of vanadium have led to speculation that it may act as a protector against heart disease, cancer and especially diabetes.

Your self-esteem is like a star at night that shines brightest when it is the darkest. It is your inner light that burns brightly and freely no matter what is happening around you. A Zen saying reminds us: “What was your original face before you were born?”
Self-esteem is perfectly intact when we are born, in fact, it is inherent to us; however, it often diminishes over the course of our childhood. We lose a little of it whenever we fail, make mistakes, misbehave, feel guilty, refuse to forgive, neglect ourselves, and/or do things we are ashamed of. As an adult, we sometimes feel as if our “self” is in pieces— that we are somehow not whole and complete.
