Update and Caution on The Sugar Fix Report.

This report has some important updates to pay attention to. Specifically, the role of glucose, which the author of The Sugar Fix says is benign. Fructose is the culprit in his study of sugar.

My naturopath, Dr. Kevin Jackson, corrected me when I mentioned it. He pointed to studies he has access to showing glucose to be a culprit as well.

Further study of the Ketogenic Diet points out that the burning of ketones by the body instead of glucose has produced vibrant health for many.

With that in mind, here is the Special Report on The Sugar Fix.

Release of trauma

 

This is what the Iceman course is doing for me. Wim Hof’s 10 week course: week 4 day 2.

 

We all have trauma. See David Berceli’s THE REVOLUTIONARY TRAUMA RELEASE PROCESS.

 

Three sets of muscles contract during trauma and stay contracted: the psoas, the iliacus and the diaphragm. Other muscles can get and stay contracted too.

 

This tension creates lack of nerve flow, blood flow and vital energy flow or “chi.” This tension also cuts off sensation. In other words, the pain contained in that tense muscle is so intense that the body, as a defence mechanism, cuts off the sensation of pain to the brain. This is so we don’t have to feel the pain on a moment by moment basis.

 

Note that the pain is still there.

 

Example: decades ago, I slipped on an icy concrete step in the middle of winter and landed right on my tailbone. This caused a long term tightening of the muscles surrounding the tailbone as well as the three muscle group: psoas, iliacus and diaphragm.

 

The yoga type exercises we are doing in week 4 are making me aware of that pain, breathing into it and helping to release it.

 

The Wim Hof Method is not the only system that does this. Berceli has a system. Other writers do as well. Yoga and tai chi also release these from the inside out.

 

It’s just that Wim’s method of breathing exercises, not to mention the cold showers, is a proven formula now for really digging in deep and releasing that trauma.

 

Further, Wim trains folks to get control of their nervous system. So it is more than trauma release. It is trauma release aligned with mental training. Gaining control of the mind and using it to open up hidden energy blocks in the body.

 

The resulting mental toughness can bring about a sense of inner calm as well as allowing energy to flow to areas of the body that have been starved of nutrients, nerve flow and blood flow.

 

Wim has made it a step by step process, slowly increasing the challenge level.

 

This is such an exciting program. Thank you Wim.

Main Points:

 

We all have some programming/conditioning

 

How can we undo the conditioning and be free?

 

Wim Hof, the Iceman, has done it by training his body AND mind and gained control of his autonomic nervous system

 

He has trained others to do it. Researchers have confirmed this is a trainable skill

 

This means we may be able to overcome the modern dis-eases: cancer, diabetes, heart disease and others

 

 

 

Question: How does a person know if they are brainwashed?

 

Answer: BY DEFINITION, one cannot know. That is included in the definition of the word.

 

Therefore, the only safe assumption is that I am brainwashed.

 

Accepting this, what can I do to do undo the programming/conditioning I have been subjected to?

 

(Notice how it can be easier to accept if we use gentler words like “programming” and “conditioning?”)

 

I have been struggling/working with this challenge for years now.

 

Interim solutions have included tai chi, yoga, meditation, NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming, EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique, Donna Eden’s energy work, various breathing techniques, Laughter Yoga, rebirthing and a host of other techniques, many of which I wrote about in my book The Zen of Joy, How to Rewire Your Brain for Happiness and Success. http://zenofjoy.com/

 

Wim Hof’s Iceman course is the latest and greatest.

 

Wim has shown it is possible to gain control of our autonomic nervous system. He has earned himself a chapter in the latest biology texts.

 

Not only can he withstand cold, hiking Everest in shorts and boots only and running a marathon in minus 20 degrees in shorts.

 

He also sat in a tub of ice for an hour and a half and his skin temperature remained the same.

 

Researchers in Holland, his home country, concluded he must be a one-off. So he trained 12 others and they were tested and were able to pull off the same control of their autonomic nervous systems.

 

Scientifically proven now that this is a trainable skill.

 

Wim says “We are going to win the greatest war ever…the war of the bacteria, viruses…”

 

What this means is we may have the potential to heal ourselves of the maladies and conditions of modern society: cancer, heart disease, diabetes and…fill in the blank with your most feared condition.

 

All the while having fun and living life more fully, enjoying it deeply.

 

See if you feel the call to join me on this adventure.

That is what describes the sensation and feeling of week 3 of the Iceman course.

 

Wow. I am blown away. What I have been searching for and moving toward all my life. (but then I feel that about every new discovery 🙂 )

 

http://joyenergyandhealth.com/2016/04/13/vibrant-energy-and-peace-mastery-newsletter-april-13-2016/

 

Main Points:

 

• The Iceman, Wim Hof, has gained control of his autonomic nervous system and his immune system
• He trained 12 others to do the same and they were tested by researchers
• It is a trainable skill
• More energy, more immunity against colds, flus and other conditions
• Wim’s system includes breathing and cold showers
• Cold showers are hard work
• We are meant to work harder as we age
• By contributing more, we gain more energy, health, joy and happiness

 

The Iceman is Wim Hof who has defied conventional thinking and gained control of his autonomic nervous system. The medical texts say that is impossible.

 

Further, he trained 12 volunteers how to do the same.

 

Results from that study show that gaining control of our autonomic nervous system is a trainable skill!!

 

“…studies show that the immune system can be influenced by the consciousness in many ways, which could mean that our thoughts, beliefs and mood can affect the physical state of our body.

 

Knowing that, you can learn to control your thinking and thus your immune system and health.

 

Focus on the bright side of life, visualize yourself being happy and healthy, meditate every day, and soon you will see positive changes not only in your health but in your whole life!”

 

The Science Behind Consciously Controlling Your Immune System: The Mind-Body Connection

 

http://themindunleashed.org/2014/07/science-behind-consciously-controlling-your-immune-system-mind-body-connection.html

 

My experience so far: nothing short of incredible. Best couple of hundred bucks I have spent for many a moon, buying his course.

 

At age 69, I figure there are two pathways: either accept older age and the health challenges that come with it: potential slowing down and all the modern dis-eases: cancer, diabetes, heart disease and who knows what else.

 

Or

 

“Rage, rage against the dying of the light”

 

I choose the latter. Wim Hof’s method seems to me to combine many modalities:

 

Exercise, yoga, stretching, breathing techniques, meditation, energy work, inner smile from tai chi and qigong, trauma release work and even emotional freedom.

 

It has elements of all those and Wim adds working with cold. He says “cold is a noble force.” I am experiencing that with daily cold showers, now up to two minutes at a time.

 

The awakening of vibrant energy is astonishing. What a wonderful addiction to have…being addicted to your own energy. Wowee zowiee. Such fun.

 

Cold showers too much for you?

 

Here is the discovery: We are meant to work harder as we age.

 

We are NOT meant to take it easy. That is the programming that modern society imposes on us. You know: work hard so you can retire and take it easy.

 

What crap!

 

With all the experience, knowledge and yes, perhaps some wisdom that we have acquired throughout our lives, we as elders owe it to ourselves to continue contributing to the wellbeing of others.

 

Why should we be denied one of the great treasures of life, giving and contributing?

 

It is an open secret that when we help others, WE are the ones who benefit more than they do!!!

 

Learning how to give more, contribute more and love more leads us to our own joy, happiness and salvation.

 

So yes, the Iceman course is hard work. But oh is it joyous. Yes yes yes.

Reviving the Handshake

 

Or..I’ve been hugging so long, I’ve forgotten how to shake hands.

 

This mania for hugging finally got to me when I read an article about how shaking hands can get the body producing oxytocin faster than hugging.

 

Oxytocin is the “love hormone.” Wikipedia tells us: “It plays a role in social bonding”

 

Apparently, it takes a minimum of 20 seconds of hugging for the hypothalamus to generate oxytocin, but shaking hands does it quicker. Well, well.

 

So I have been experimenting with and reacquainting myself with shaking hands with friends. We still hug as well so we get the best of both worlds.

 

One of the things I notice is that we can have eye contact with hand shaking. That may explain at least partly how oxytocin is created quicker with a handshake than a hug. May also have something to do with skin to skin contact. (skin to skin hugging may work faster, but there is all that time taken up getting naked before a hug…not practical much of the time.)

 

Also started noticing the great variety in handshakes. In the last few weeks, I have had many of them, including one bone crusher. Ouch.

 

Here is a great article on it:

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

WEALTH

What is Wealth?

 Definition from Investopedia:

Wealth is a measure of the value of all of the assets of worth owned by a person, community, company or country. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wealth.asp

 

How about considering all the intangible assets? Health, vitality, energy, joy, happiness, family and friends? These may be the true wealth in life.

 

The Beatles said: “The love you take is equal to the love you make.”

 

So, unlike tangible assets, we may be able to take the sum of the intangibles with us to the next phase after physical body death…love.

Is Windows a Virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here’s what viruses do:

 

1.They replicate quickly – okay, Windows does that.

 

2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so – okay, Windows does that.

 

3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk – okay, Windows does that too.

 

4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. – Sigh.. Windows does that, too.

 

5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. – Yup, Windows does that, too.

 

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

 

So Windows is not a virus.

 

It’s a bug.
