Embracing a “Summer Cold.” Mastery Newsletter Update July 25, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

What they call “flu season” is coming up in the fall. But sometimes we fall prey to a summer cold. Here is a positive way to view oolds and flus.

 

Hering’s Law of Cure:

 

Symptoms of a chronic disease disappear in definite order, going in reverse and taking about one month for every year the symptoms have been present.

Symptoms move from the more vital organs to the less vital organs; from the interior of the body towards the skin.

Symptoms move from the top of the body downward.

 

You can check this out yourself by doing an internet search with Hering’s Law.

Hering’s Law of Cure is the basis of all healing

 

Article Source

 

Hering’s Law of Cure is the basis of all healing. This is the way the body heals or cures itself. “All cure starts from within out, from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed”.

 

“We don’t catch diseases, we create them by breaking down the natural defenses according to the way we eat, drink, think and live”. Hering’s Law is a very important law to understand and remember. It is imperative to follow this law in order to allow the body to eliminate toxins created daily.

The definition of Hering’s Law of Cure is as follows:

 

“We heal from the head down”. This means that before we can even begin to heal we must believe we can heal. We must be mentally prepared and strong in order to allow the body to heal. We must not doubt the body’s ability to heal itself.

 

“We heal from within out”. This means we must allow the body to cleanse. In order for the body to eliminate toxins it must be allowed to do so by not suppressing any kind of discharge.

 

Most over-the-counter medications and prescriptions do suppress discharges. This is not good as these toxins can go deeper into the body and create other weaknesses. The body must be allowed to cleanse itself in whatever manner it needs to without interruption by synthetic suppressive substances.

 

“We heal in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed”. This means that most of the time the last problem someone has is the first problem to be dealt with by the body in the reversal process.

 

For instance, let’s say the last illness you had was a sinus infection and a suppressive medication was used to stop any sneezing, coughing, dripping nose or sinus drainage.

 

In order for the body to heal itself it must eliminate these toxins and mucous that were suppressed at this time. Since this was the last illness it is the easiest for the body to heal.

 

The body may stimulate the Immune System to create a fever to burn out the toxins, the toxins may be eliminated through the Lungs or Bronchioles causing a large amount of phlegm to exit these areas, it might eliminate them through the skin causing breakouts or it could eliminate them through the Colon in which case mucous, old feces and food that hasn’t been eaten for quite a while may be eliminated. These are just a few ways the body heals itself.

 

Unfortunately, Hering’s Law of Cure is not used today in Orthodox medicine. Orthodox medicine generally believes that because the symptoms are suppressed the problem is cured, or by removing the organ, which is not functioning correctly, it can cure the problem.

 

Perhaps this is why no one knows what a “Cold” is today. A “Cold” is the body’s way of eliminating toxins, which it does by increasing the mucous from the mucous membranes in order to free the toxins. Toxin elimination is imperative in order for the body to stay healthy. Disease reversal is also imperative in order for the body to “cure” a disease.

How to Talk to Bores. Mastery Newsletter Update July 22, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

How to Talk to Bores, and What Truman Capote Teaches Us About Being Interesting

 

From Barbara Walters book How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Practically Anything.

 

A bore has feelings. Very often he will interrupt something boring he is saying to comment that he is a bore. His wife comes over and inquires sweetly, “Is he boring you?”

 

If he is, maybe it’s your fault. “Being interested makes one interesting,” Dr. Erich Fromm observed, to which I would add that you generally get out of a conversation what you put into it.

 

Truman Capote has a natural gift that makes him a great guest at a dinner party: he is always interested in whomever he’s talking to. For one thing, he really looks at the person he is with. Most of us see outlines of one another, but Truman is noting skin texture, voice tone, details of clothing.

 

One of the reasons that Truman is always interested in people is that he won’t allow himself to be bored. He told me that when he meets a truly crashing bore he asks himself, “Why am I so bored? What is it about this person that is making me yawn?” He ponders, “What should this person do that he hasn’t done? What does he lack that might intrigue me?”

 

He catalogues thoughtfully the bore’s face, his hair style, his mannerisms, his speech patterns. He tries to imagine how the bore feels about himself, what kind of a wife he might have, what he likes and dislikes. To get the answers, he starts to ask some of these questions aloud. In short, Truman gets so absorbed in finding out why he is bored that he is no longer bored at all.

Joy in the Dentist’s Chair. Mastery Newsletter Update July 18, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

Joy in the dentist’s chair. What, are you crazy?

 

For most of us, getting your teeth drilled is not very high on the list of things that create happiness or joy. It’s just a necessary evil. Something to be suffered through to do the maintenance our teeth demand.

 

Yet, I sat in my dentist’s chair while he drilled and filled three teeth. I did it without freezing and I felt joy.

 

I hasten to add, I had to do some work to feel that joy and I did slip a little out of it from time to time. But, for the most part, that is the overarching emotion/sensation/feeling I had during the hour.

 

How is that possible, you may ask?

 

I did it by applying one of the protocols from my book The Zen of Joy. This is the one called “How to be Happy 24/7.”

 

This protocol or practice involves accessing what is called “the inner smile.” This has become easier and easier as time goes on. Practice makes perfect, they say.

 

How did it come to be that I asked for no freezing in the first place?

 

It was January of 1977. I am walking the streets of Merida, the capital of Yucatan State in Mexico. I spot a dental office at street level. A couple of year previous, I had chipped my two front teeth.

 

A dentist in Vancouver had quoted me $300 each to fix them. I didn’t bother. But I thought, let’s see what it would cost here. The dentist greeted me. There was no receptionist. He quoted me $10 for the both of them! Go ahead, says I. He says: “You have the money ON YOU?”

 

Those lasted for decades. The most interesting part was, he started to drill without freezing. Now, I had been seeing dentists for years and never had that experience. I stopped him and asked: “What about the freezing?” “ No es necessario” he replied.

 

And surprise, surprise, there was no pain. This was a revelation. So, the next time I had occasion to get drilled in Canada again, I asked for no freezing.

 

Again, no pain. Oh, there was lots of racket, but no actual pain. It was mostly the anticipation of pain. I used my meditation experience to throw the energy in to the area of my “third eye” in the forehead.

 

When I had a root canal without freezing, now THAT was a real challenge. And, in recent years, I have relented and become lazier and do allow the freezing from time to time.

 

Back to my dentist’s chair this week. Not only was there no pain, it was quite relaxing really. Yes, the drill made quite a racket that my ears picked up on.

 

But, using the inner smile technique from The Zen of Joy, I was able easily and effortlessly to release any attachment to the noise.

 

In fact, throughout the years, I have been able to use the experience to deepen my meditation practice.

 

I have more visits to look forward to, but for you, gentle reader, is there a lesson?

 

Perhaps it is this: if a fool such as I can find a way to feel joy in what can be a terror filled experience for many, perhaps there is a way to feel this joy in your life.

 

Perhaps The Zen of Joy protocols can be practiced to expand joy in your life. Perhaps you too can find a way to feel joy in challenging situations.

 

Find out more here: http://zenofjoy.com/

 

Love and Laughter,

 

Matti

 

P.S. No one expects you to go without freezing at your next dental visit. It’s just an example of the principle that we can feel authentic joy in the most challenging situations.

 

So, if you are facing some challenges (and who isn’t these days?), consider The Zen of Joy to help ease you into facing those challenges in a more empowered and joyous state.

 

Who knows, you may find your life becoming easier and more effortless. Worth a look? http://zenofjoy.com/

There is no such thing as flu “season.” Mastery Newsletter Update July 15, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

There is no such thing as flu “season.”

 

This concept never existed when I was a kid. It is an invention. It helps the drug companies to sell their drugs…i.e. vaccines.

 

Whether vaccines work, whether they have side effects is a separate topic, not on today’s agenda.

 

Today, we are going to focus on Vitamin D…that is free this time of year.

 

Sun exposure is the cheapest way to get it.

 

A great article to focus on this is here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/29/how-much-sunshine-does-it-take-to-make-enough-vitamin-d-perhaps-more-than-you-think.aspx

Magician, Warrior, Lover, Sovereign. Mastery Newsletter update July 11, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

We have within us all the qualities that make for a fulfilled and balanced life.

“Wild Voice” singing instructor Edwin Coppard fleshed these out for me this week.

Each of us has a warrior, a magician, a lover and a sovereign. And we have a male and female aspect of these.

 

The challenge is these qualities or energy aspects of ourselves can be wounded. These wounds can block us from fulfilling our potential as healers on the planet at a critical time when we are needed.

 

Yes, each of us, you and I, are called upon to help heal ourselves, our families, friends and all our relations during what appears to be a pivotal time in our history.

 

Bringing these aspects of our selves, these different qualities or energies into balance is healing not only for ourselves, but also others.

 

In fact, it can be argued that this is our highest calling: to release the energies in both male and female aspects to do their holy work within us.

 

Or to say it otherwise, for us to allow these aspects to come out from hiding, to express themselves fully…in a balanced “yin and yang” way. To truly balance the different male and female aspects we all have.

 

In a one hour consultation with Edwin, we identified how my Warrior male and female energy had been split and lived in separate parts of my body. Through visualization and intention, I was then able to bring the two of them together in a most appropriate part of my body.

 

We did the same for the Magician energy and the Lover and Sovereign within me.

 

What do these four energies represent?

 

The Warrior is aligned with action, with moving forward in the physical world.

 

The Lover is our sensory system. It is connection with others and with the Energy of Love that permeates the Universe.

 

The Magician encompasses the skills we have developed over a lifetime. The skills that we use to serve others and get paid for.

 

The Sovereign can be thought of as the King and Queen that resides inside us. It is pure vibration. It knows why I came here, what purpose I am to fulfill. The Sovereign, when balanced, can look forward and guide me in fulfilling my purpose.

 

From this session with Edwin was born four daily rituals that take only a few moments and continue to unfold the integration of the male and female aspects of these four aspects of myself.

 

How did I choose to consult with Edwin?

 

It is another example of the power of intention. I had been reflecting on the concept of the “Bucket List.” It has become popular now for Boomers to make up a list of things they want to do before “kicking the bucket” or checking out of these physical bodies.

 

I realized that my one and only item on my bucket list was an internal one. I wanted to release whatever traumas are lingering in my body, mind, emotions and spirit and thereby release any and all fears.

 

It seemed and seems to me that would be “mainlining” the full experience of life.

 

If this calls to you, I can commend Edwin to you for a one on one consultation. It was one of the highest quality hours I have spent.

Love and Laughter,

Matti

 

P.S. This was not a one time event. From this session was born a daily ritual and much like meditation, the idea is to expand the ritual to infuse my being at all moments of the day…to truly balance all these energies. In other words, it is ongoing moment by moment work…and play. 🙂

 

 

The Game of Enlightenment. Mastery Newsletter Update July 8, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

“…love and consciousness are one and the same thing.”

–Ram Dass

 

The Game of Enlightenment

 

Question: If a Western man were to become totally enlightened, what would happen to other people and to his feelings, especially lovers?

 

Ram Dass: Let me start with the word “love” for a moment. I think there is a transformation that goes on in one’s conception of the term “love.” And I think one changes from seeing it as a verb, to seeing it as a state of being. And you move much more towards what would be called Christ-love, that is, the state of being where one “is” love. One is like a light that emits, and one is a loving being. Consciousness and energy are an identity, and similarly with those identities is the term love. That is, that love and consciousness are one and the same thing. So that as you get into a higher state of consciousness you come closer to being in love. That doesn’t mean in interpersonal love. It means being – love. Now if you and I love or fall into love and I say, “She really turns me on. I love her,” from this model what i see is happening is that I’m saying, “You are a…….,” in the imprinting literature, “You are a superordinate key stimulus that is eliciting an innate response mechanism.” Or I could say it in a more general sense, saying that “You’re turning me on.” And you’re turning me on to a place inside myself that is love. So I am experiencing what it means to “be in love.” And I’m saying I am in love with you. I am in love with my connection to the place in me that is love, is the way I would now say it in this Western framework.

 

And it’s interesting that as long as you are under the illusion that what you are loving is “out there,” you will always experience a separateness. It is only when you begin to understand that if you and I are truly in love, if I go to the place in me that is love and you to the place in you that is love, we are “together” in Love. We start to understand that what love means is that we are sharing a common state together. That state exists in you and it exists in me.

 

Now the enlightened being… what happens to him is that he changes the nature of his love object from a specific love object to it all, finally. You would say that an enlightened being is totally in love with the universe, in the sense that everything in the universe turns him on to that place in himself where he is love and consciousness. So I would say that an interpersonal relationship that has any qualities of possessiveness in it, or ego drama of any kind, certainly undergoes changes as the nature of consciousness changes; and at the same moment I would say that as a person becomes more conscious he understands that he has certain karmic commitments, that is, existing contracts which may be with parents, husband or wife, children – and that he can not rid himself of these without creating a karmic cost – without leaving behind him some uncooked seeds that he’s running away from.

 

The game of enlightenment starts from exactly where you are at this moment, and therefore, if you have an existing social-emotional-sexual contract with another human being, that’s where it starts. To say, “Well, I’ve got to go do my work on myself, I can’t afford you anymore” leaves a ripping which ultimately you’ve got to rectify. There’s no doubt about it. You’ve got to work from where you are now. You just can’t walk out, walk away from anything, any part of your life. You’ve got to bring it all into harmony at every new level.

 

– Ram Dass, 1971 lecture at the Menninger Foundation

Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You. Mastery Newsletter. July 2, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love –by Cal Newport

 

(Review from: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13525945-so-good-they-can-t-ignore-you )

 

“In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that “follow your passion” is good advice.

 

Not only is the cliché flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping.

 

After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers.

 

Matching your job to a preexisting passion does not matter, he reveals. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before.

 

In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.

With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to “be so good they can’t ignore you,” Cal Newport’s clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love.

 

SO GOOD THEY CAN’T IGNORE YOU will change the way we think about our careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.”

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

The Inner Circle

 

You just might want to see more of these kinds of stories/anecdotes than the once a month Mastery Newsletter. The “Inner Circle” explores a whole lot more subjects than I can fit into a monthly newsletter.

 

It is “ad hoc,” meaning it arrives in your inbox whenever I run across something, that could be once every 2 or 3 weeks. It might also be a few times in a single day. As always, simple to unsubscribe if it gets to be too much.

 

TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE INNER CIRCLE:Send an email to freedombalance@shaw.ca with “SUB INNER CIRCLE” in the subject line.
