			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>We can change the course of planetary events. While solar cycle 24 is becoming more active, affecting all beings on Earth, we can decide on how to react to these changes. It is important to remember that the increasing solar activity has a positive affect – it’s a time when opportunity and creativity can flourish along with increased individual and collective enlightenment. It’s an auspicious opportunity for advancing our intelligence on how to cooperate more harmoniously with each other and with Mother Earth. This can eventually lead to a global consciousness transformation and increasing peace. A few effective co-creative actions we can take through these opportune times would include committing to reducing fear, becoming more responsible for our own energy, and increasing love, care and respect for others and for ourselves. This can do much to restore balance and energetic alignment between Earth and the global community.</p>
<p>Many thanks to all who are caring and holding the vision of humanity in the state of joy, love, peace and health and a vision of a vibrant Earth. I would like to end this commentary with a quote by Albert Einstein:</p>
<p>&#8220;Our task must be to free ourselves – by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have personal freedom? Do you consider yourself to be free? Are you free to choose in matters of health? Do you choose what you do with your time? Do you decide how to spend your money? Have you chosen the things you believe in?</p>
<p>My guess is that you want to say &#8220;yes&#8221; to these questions, but you are actually answering &#8220;no&#8221;. Why is this? Because institutions are deciding these answers for us. Yes it&#8217;s true! In all four of these areas of your life you have not and do not choose. You disagree? Let us explore.</p>
<p>When it comes to your health are you choosing what you put into your body or are you allowing the media, the supermarkets and even your family determine what you eat, or allowing your doctor decide what medications you should be taking? How many of those choices have you truly made yourself. In most cases I am sure you would agree you have taken the common route, the path of least resistance, and allowed society to tell you what to eat and what to do when you get a headache. And most likely if you were eating healthier you would not be having any headaches in the first place.</p>
<p>Making your own conscious choices about what you put into your body can have a positive affect on your health. Observe your body. How does it react and feel after certain foods? Avoid those foods that leave you feeling slack and without energy and choose the food that makes you feel good an hour after you eat it.</p>
<p>What about your time? Are you the master of your own time? Or are you the slave of circumstances and habit? How often do we conform to what others want just to keep the peace? It&#8217;s bad enough having an employer where we give our time for the money we earn, but what about the rest of our time? How much time do you take for yourself? It is important to pursue your own desires and dreams and satisfy your own pleasures. This is not to say you ought to ignore everyone else around you, particularly those depending on you. But it is important to get a balance and have time that is only for you.</p>
<p>I bet you think you have control of your money. Well apart from taxes (we&#8217;ll leave that one as we all enjoy the benefits of roads, transport and trade etc.) how much of your hard earned money do you spend voluntarily on things you actually want or need? Observe again how often you will buy something because the advertisement appealed to you, or the display in the store attracted you, or even because your friend said this is a must. After you buy it you wonder why or it lies around unused. How much food do you throw away becuase you fell for the big sales and specials and ended up buying much too much food?</p>
<p>So are you really in control of your money? Is your money serving you as it ought to? Are you treating your money with respect, because if you do it will return to you. Setting money aside for later is a big plus and a must. Small amounts mount up and you will be grateful for that years from now. I&#8217;m not saying to spend sparingly, that could stifle the flow, but spend wisely, and most of all, make your own choices.</p>
<p>One more thing &#8211; have you chosen what you believe in? Now when it comes to religious belief the answer is most likely not. You have accepted the beliefs handed down to you. The same is true about how you are currently looking at life, you got educated and got a job and pay into your pension fund because that&#8217;s what you were taught and what you subsequently believe in. But these things are nothing more than belief systems passed down to us. But are they the right things and are they serving us today? We need to take a close look at why we believe things and why we do things in certain ways today. Could it be that you are not meeting with success and not fulfilling your dreams because of restricting and limiting beliefs from the past?</p>
<p>We need to take control of our beliefs and choose what is beneficial and profitable for life and discard all that isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So are you free? Or do you need to make a few adjustments. Remember, everyone around faces the same challenge, so be gentle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Paradigm is a mind-set, or mind pattern, or a set of ideas. For example, a long time ago it was a paradigm that the Earth was flat. That paradigm has changed. Another paradigm could be, &#8220;I can never be an artist,&#8221; or whatever. This paradigm also can be changed.</p>
<p>Paradigms determine how we think and react in given situations. Religion is a big paradigm, a given set of ideas. Science is a collection of other paradigms. Paradigms are all over the place, in our heads affecting the way we think. They determine our habits, our reactions, our actions, our thinking and even our feelings.</p>
<p>We learn to react and feel in certain ways when faced with certain situations. Someone stands on my toe, I may have learned to scream and fling out with my arm. Instead I can react much differently. Some may have learned to get angry or swear when something doesn&#8217;t go as expected, like it rains at the picnic, or a job is lost. These reactions can be different.</p>
<p>When you look at your life and how you answer people, react to news and circumstances, you will probably see a pattern which you can identify in many of the people around you. We learn to respond instead of react.</p>
<p>Another example of a paradigm is that illness comes form outside into my body. It is well researched and known that illness comes from within. Katharina, my wife, has studied kinesiology, which uses the muscle test to determine what the body has to say about the cause of an illness or emotional trauma, or stress. It is a method for tapping into the subconscious mind, which is, to keep it simple, a field of spiritual energy connecting us all together. It is known that our emotions, feelings over past events can cause illness, and when this cause is known the illness dissolves.</p>
<p>The Law of Attraction and the teaching surrounding this understands the presence of such a field of consciousness of which we are all a part. It is this consciousness which holds the universe together and has created this physical universe. Call it God if you like, it is the same thing. We are all joined or connected to God, and God dwells in each of us. This consciousness is part of our consciousness.</p>
<p>This is why it is possible to change the physical. The physical is controlled and subject to God, or Universal Consciousness. If we think and feel intensely enough we can change our environment. This is what makes miracles possible and healings. It is not a miracle, really, but appling other laws that exist in the universe.</p>
<p>Feelings, or emotion, is the language of this consciousness. It is our feelings which make things happen and can change our physical world. Consciousness isn&#8217;t limited by physical laws, it creates them, and the paradigms say this is a very physical problem and thinking can&#8217;t change it. This may be true in the physical realm, but in the spiritual realm, in the world of Universal Consciousness, in God&#8217;s realm, all things are possible.</p>
<p>Think of this as a kind of prayer, except you are not asking or begging, but making a clear and specific statement. &#8220;Ask the Father what you will and believe that you have it and it will be yours.&#8221; Jesus said this and it couldn&#8217;t be clearer. To sum it up, yes, healing is possible and it is our choice. Our thoughts and feelings determine the result. So what are we thinking and feeling? Maybe we need to change that in order to get the change we desire.</p>
<p>What is you desire? Are your thinking and your feelings getting you there?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear friends, I don&#8217;t normally get political here, but this needs to be said and spread to counter the FEAR of Swine Flu. This is <strong>nothing new</strong>. It has all happened before, and the media is playing up the hype for their own profit, as are the drug manufacturers. Read this excerpt from &#8220;Think and Grow Rich&#8221; by Napoleon Hill, <strong>published in 1937</strong>. It reads like it was written yesterday.</p>
<blockquote><p>THE FEAR OF ILL HEALTH<br />
&#8230;<br />
In the main, man fears ill health because of the terrible pictures which have been planted in his mind of what may happen if death should overtake him. He also fears it because of the economic toll which it may claim.<br />
&#8230;<br />
Powerful and mighty is the human mind! It builds or it destroys. Playing upon this common weakness of fear of ill health, dispensers of patent medicines have reaped fortunes. This form of imposition upon credulous humanity became so prevalent some twenty years ago that Colliers&#8217; Weekly Magazine conducted a bitter campaign against some of the worst offenders in the patent medicine business.</p>
<p>During the &#8220;flu&#8221; epidemic which broke out during the world war, the mayor of New York City took drastic steps to check the damage which people were doing themselves through their inherent fear of ill health. He called in the newspaper men and said to them, &#8220;Gentlemen, I feel it necessary to ask you not to publish any scare headlines concerning the `flu&#8217; epidemic. Unless you cooperate with me, we will have a situation which we cannot control.&#8221; The newspapers quit publishing stories about the &#8220;flu,&#8221; and within one month the epidemic had been successfully checked.</p></blockquote>
<p>There we have it &#8211; FEAR was the cause of that epidemic over one hundred years ago, and it is the same fear which caussing the big problem today. Swine Flu isn&#8217;t new. It&#8217;s been around like any other flu. And more people have died from just the regular flu. Whatever the reason behind this epidemi, I call on all fellow earth citizens to switch off your TV reports, skip the newspaper articles and excuse yourself from conversations which speak of swine flu and vaccines and how it is spreading.</p>
<p>Keep a positive outlook. A recent survey here is Switzerland, contrary to other reports, states that a survey indicated that very few take the swine flu seriously, and only a small percentage are even taking precautions. So do not believe everything your hear or read. You determine your own state of health. N0 fear &#8211; no worry &#8211; no illness.</p>
<p>Have a great and healthy summer. Pass this on to those you care about and eveb to those you don&#8217;t care about. You bless others and so bless yourself.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a lot being said lately about chocolate being healthy. Now there are health benefits to eating chocolate, but to those who are trying to avoid the sugar this is a definite alternative. Share it with your friends and you can make money with it too.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">Xoçai</font><font size="1" color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">™</font><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">, the</font></strong><strong><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo"> ultimate antioxidant products!</font></strong><font size="2" color="#000000" face="UniversLTStd-LightCn"></p>
<p align="left">Marketing Xocolate International, MXI Corp, has combined the world’s two greatest super foods, raw cacao and açaí, to develop the ultimate antioxidant products. In fact, MXI Corp with the development of its Xoçai™ products, is now considered the category creator of high-antixodiant, healthy chocolate.</p>
<p></font><strong></strong><strong><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo"></p>
<p align="left">What is Xoçai<font size="1" color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">™</font><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">?</font></p>
<p></font></strong><font size="2" color="#000000" face="UniversLTStd-LightCn"></p>
<p align="left">The name Xoçai™ (Sho-sigh) is composed of the first two letters of the Aztec word, “Xocolatl,” an Ancient American cacao drink, and the last three letters of “Açaí,” the exotic and healthy Amazonian berry.</p>
<p></font><strong><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">Xoçai</font><font size="1" color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">™</font><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">, the Healthy</font></strong><strong><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo"> Chocolate<font size="1" color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">™</font><font color="#000000" face="Eurostile-BoldExtendedTwo">!</font></font></strong><font size="2" color="#000000" face="UniversLTStd-LightCn"></p>
<p align="left">Cacao is the highest source of antioxidants in the world. Xoçai™ products are produced with cacao that is blanched, unfermented, sun-dried, non-roasted, nonalkalized, non-lecithinized, and cold-pressed. Because these processes are closely monitored, Xoçai™ delivers the optimum amount of the antioxidants naturally found in the cacao.</p>
<p align="left">Xoçai™ products are the perfect delivery system for the antioxidants your body needs while eliminating almost all of the fat and sugar typically found in other chocolate products.</p>
<p align="left">And, boy does this taste good! Check it out now, try some! Mmm!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following was shared by Molly Brogan on blog discussion at <a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/user/mollybrogan">BlogCatalog</a>:</p>
<p class="response" id="p_138211">My very real experience with alternative  therapies was watching my<br />
beloved brother Michael, after a diagnosis of stage  4 lymphoma, liver,<br />
lung and spleen cancer. Everyone was sure he was a goner,  but the<br />
doctors prescribed a rigorous regime of chemo nonetheless. With  each<br />
of the eight treatments administered every two weeks, he looked  like<br />
he was aging twenty years. He could barely put one foot in front  of<br />
another and looked like a skeleton after the first three. Before  the<br />
second, I asked someone to work with him that uses several  &#8220;energy<br />
therapy&#8221; modalities. Mike&#8217;s response was &#8220;I didn&#8217;t really  understand<br />
what he did, but could appreciate the effort. I don&#8217;t think he  really<br />
knew me though.&#8221; The therapist worked with Mike&#8217;s energy systems,  and<br />
talked to him about the importance of his self image and  viewpoint,<br />
telling him that his thoughts create his reality, and advising him  to<br />
imagine himself as healthy and vital.</p>
<p>I understood how much of an  impression that made on Micheal, only<br />
after a phone call from him the day of  what should have been his fifth<br />
chemo treatment. He called me while I was at  a conference in San<br />
Diego, getting ready to leave my hotel room for the  morning sessions.<br />
He said, &#8220;Listen, I have to tell you something.&#8221; From the  sound of<br />
his voice, I knew it was important, and that moment become one  of<br />
those where time seems to stop and stretch out to encompass your  whole<br />
life. I pulled up a chair and nestled into my view of the San  Diego<br />
harbor and began to listen with everything I had.</p>
<p>He told me  that on the way to the hospital, he knew that he would not<br />
survive another  treatment. He asked himself whether he wanted to live<br />
or die. His answer was,  he wanted to live, but could not imagine how<br />
it would happen, all medical  reports were indicating no hope. He<br />
said, &#8220;what I did was imagine myself  walking into the doctors office.<br />
I imagined every detail of the office, her  desk, chairs, lamps etc. I<br />
sat down and waited for her arrival. She entered  the office, said<br />
hello, asked how I was feeling, sat down at her desk, opened  my file<br />
in front of her, silently looked at the test results for a  while,<br />
folded her hands over the file and looked up at me. After a moment  of<br />
looking directly into my eyes, she told me the results of each  test,<br />
and then said, &#8216;and can&#8217;t explain this, but from all results,  you<br />
appear to be cancer free.&#8217; I imagined the feeling of  overwhelming<br />
relief that the treatments were over. I imagined the incredible  joy I<br />
felt to regain my life. And I imagined telling you, and having  you<br />
listen like you are now, and cry softly, like you are now. I  imagined<br />
this same scene, detail for detail four more times on my way to  the<br />
doctor&#8217;s office. And Molly, I am telling you, that it happened<br />
exactly  as I imagined it.&#8221;</p>
<p>At this point, of course, I had to jump out of my  chair and begin<br />
cheering and crying loudly. After Mike was able to quiet me  down, he<br />
said, &#8220;Listen, what I am telling you is that it happened EXACTLY as  I<br />
imagined it. Every test result that the doctor read to me, every  word<br />
she said, every gesture she made. It is very creepy. And I want  you<br />
to tell me it is OK.&#8221; At that, of course, I burst into laughter  and<br />
said &#8220;Hell, YES, it&#8217;s OK. It is so much more than just OK.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve  had many different responses to this story in the past couple of<br />
years since  it happened. The doctors, of course, tested and retested<br />
and retested  Micheal, but the cancer did not reappear. He slowly<br />
regained his strength and  his life and the way he lives it will never<br />
be the same. Mine probably won&#8217;t  either.</p>
<p>All I can say is that I think if you are open to miraculous  healing,<br />
it will find you. I don&#8217;t think you even have to understand  the<br />
process or method. But you do have to imagine and believe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got our monthly DVD from the Spiritual Cinema Circle. On it was a documentary about the Laughing Clubs started by Dr. Madan Kataria, India. These have been going on for over 10 years and have spread all over the world. (Find one near you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.laughteryoga.org/">http://www.laughteryoga.org/</a>). Sounds like good fun, and yes it is silly, it is supposed to be &#8211; to make you laugh. Check out this Laughter Conference:<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eA1_bB7OURY&amp;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<p align="center"><embed wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eA1_bB7OURY&amp;rel=1"></embed></p>
<p>Dr. Kataria&#8217;s intentions were of course sickness prevention. But the healing benefits of laughing often can be astonishing, as you can here near the end of this video:</p>
<p align="center"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cTX5m3cmtDQ&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cTX5m3cmtDQ&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>Have you had any expereince with Laughing clubs, or any experience from the good effects of a good hearty laugh? Tell me about it, I&#8217;d love to hear.</p>
