Dolphins Offer Insight to Healing

Posted on by

In his letter published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, [Michael] Zasloff recounts several documentations about how quick dolphins manage to heal the wounds caused by severe shark bites, adding that some of these wounds which are larger than a basketball are cured in weeks without causing notable pain or infection or leaving a significant scar.

“If I saw this in a human being, I wouldn’t believe it,” Zasloff added. “It should awe us. You have an animal that has evolved in the ocean without hands or legs, which swims faster than we can, has intelligence that perhaps equals our social and emotional complexity, and its healing is almost alien compared to what we are capable of.”

Understanding The Science Of Gratitude

Posted: 07/ 1/11 08:21 AM ET

Always begin with gratitude. This is the wisdom advice that comes to us from many of the world’s indigenous and contemplative teachings. In this spirit, we begin our first blog for The Huffington Postexploring this profoundly transformative spiritual practice, and invite you to join us in taking this powerful awareness and action into your heart and onto your path of deepening spirit in daily life, work, and relationships.

The practice of gratitude antidotes two root sufferings that pervade the human experience. The first can be characterized as a feeling of “insufficiency” — not having enough or not being enough. This fundamental sense of dissatisfaction opens the way to the second kind of suffering — being incessantly busy trying to get more or be more in order to somehow fill this inner feeling of discontentment and lack.

Intend Your Day

Posted on by

Each morning, as you lie in bed before getting up or after getting up, take a moment just to think of what would make this day true and rewarding for you.  Intend your day to bring you fulfillment.  Just a few examples: If you are going to be meeting with a friend, intend that that meeting will be joyous and fruitful for you.  If you are working on   some negotiation, intend that the outcome will be positive.  If it is a day of rest, intend that you will find in the freedom of the day new knowledge and certainty.

Intention: Positively directed intention creates for me joy and fulfillment.

 

Hands to Heart Center

Posted on by

Hands to Heart Center:    There are times when we are feeling stressed or overwhelmed in our daily lives.  This is a time to stop, stand firmly on your two feet, take a deep breath, and bring your hands to your heart center with palms together or cross your hands, one on top of the other.  Take a moment to feel your heart, to listen to your heart, to be with yourself.  Connect with the energies of the Earth and the Universe and feel the light all around.  As you connect with all things, you can see the true meaning and importance of WHO you are.  You can accomplish anything as long as you stand firm in WHO you are and act from your heart.  You will find more clarity and better perspective.  While you are firm within your heart, take a moment to look at your priorities.  Then breathe deeply and move on with your day.

INTENTION: By connecting with my heart, I find my inner power.

 

Own Your Power

Torment and Giving In:     When the energies of all that is around us begin to swirl in confused ways, as new energies enter and vortex centers shift, we find ourselves lost in confusion.  There are many possible responses to this confusion.  The most common one is to fall into fear.   And when you fall into fear, then we are most easily convinced to do things that we would not, in our general centered consciousness do. This is a time to take a look at what is truly important to you and to go for that.  You are not powerless.  You have recourse.  It is a time for a shift in focus.  Look elsewhere, change your thoughts, change your mind.  Fear is a conditioned and easy response, so if you just allow yourself temporarily  to shift your focus, you can get more perspective.  Give in to the heart knowledge that is inside.

INTENTION: I am stronger than my fears.  I create the reality I desire.

Time for a Change

Posted on by

It is time for a change! But change does not have to be drastic.  Big shifts and renovations can start with changing one little thing.  Take a look at the room you are in.  Everything has its place.  It is time to take one item and move it to a different place.  Then walk out of the room and back in again.  Take a look around.  Everything is different! By changing one little element, you have changed the whole room.  And a change of one small thing can be the stepping off point for major shifts, realignments, and new perspectives.

INTENTION: By doing one thing, I make a difference in everything;.

Fires in & Impacting New Mexico

Posted on by

Here in the Valley, the smoke can get very heavy from the fires in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.  It is frightening to consider the number of fires, the extent of the fires, and the unprecedented lack of moisture.

To see a listing of current fires here in New Mexico, as well as some that are impacting the State, go to:  http://nmfireinfo.wordpress.com/

I think we are discovering more and more that natural disasters are everyone’s business.  The Earth keeps reacting on all levels and in all areas.  All elements are affected.  There is no  longer time to be blind to this.  It is everyone’s business.  A little thing as a thought of gratitude or love or compassion to the Earth can make a huge difference.  Gaia does not need our money.  She needs our love and respect.

6 Techniques to Ignite Your Inner Creativity and Passion

by Ronald Alexander, Ph.D.—Author, ‘Wise Mind, Open Mind’; Executive Director, The OpenMind Training Institute

Posted: 04/26/11 08:54 AM ETMost of us were taught that creativity comes from the thoughts and emotions of the mind. However, the greatest singers, dancers, painters, writers and filmmakers recognize that the most original, and even transformative, ideas actually come from the core of our being, which is accessed through an “open-mind consciousness.”

In ancient traditions, open-mind consciousness was considered to be a spiritual awakening, the great enlightenment that dissolves the darkness of confusion and fear and ushers in peace, happiness, clarity and contentment

Herbs for Health

Posted on by

Herbs are not only great in meals for spice and added flavor but are key to the nutritional density in the foods you eat. Herbs can protect you against diseases, clear toxins from your body, and provide you with vitamins and minerals.

Here are some examples of such, from a list of nine assembled by Planet Green:

Basil

Basil provides Vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. Loaded with flavonoids, basil helps prevent cell damage from radiation and oxygen.

Ginger

Treat nausea and an upset stomach with ginger; prevent and treat the common cold with its antiviral components.

Fenugreek

This Mediterranean herb is good for menstrual cramps, menopause symptoms, cholesterol, and diabetes.

Flat Leaf Parsley

Parsley is renowned for containing high levels of antioxidants and is full of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that help balance cholesterol and ward off constipation.

Turmeric

The Cork Cancer Research Centre’s test results show that turmeric can kill gullet cancer cells in 24 hours!

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

Believe it or not, but common herbs and spices are actually some of the healthiest foods on the planet—topping the list of high ORAC value foods—so you can easily boost the nutritional value of your meal simply by spicing it up a bit. ORAC is a standardized method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. The higher the ORAC score, the more effective a food is at neutralizing harmful free radicals.

So, every time you flavor your meals with herbs or spices you are literally “upgrading” your food without adding a single calorie.
