What You Do Right Before Bed Determines How Productive and Focused You’ll Be Tomorrow

Authored by Michael Hyatt

 

I have written and talked a lot about how the right morning routine can set you up for a productive day. The same is true for nighttime rituals. The right activities before you sleep can set you up for success the next day.

I used to have the worst time getting to sleep at night. I knew it was important for my health and productivity, but my mind raced long after the lights went out. I couldn’t seem to turn it off.

As a result, I woke up groggy, grumpy, and ill-prepared for the day. My energy flagged right after lunch, and my afternoons were a grind. I just wasn’t my best self. Maybe you can relate.

Eventually, my doctor suggested Ambien. I knew it wasn’t a good long-term solution, but I was desperate for sleep. What I really needed was an intentional nighttime ritual, but that wouldn’t come for several more years.

Today, I am happy to report that I sleep like a baby—without the help of Ambien or any other drug. I sleep soundly for seven to eight hours each night, wake rested, and have all the energy I need to be creative and productive.

These nine activities make up my nighttime ritual:

  1. Eliminate negative input. I’m a worrier by nature. To ensure I fall sleep easily, I avoid negative news, conversations, and anything else that strands my mind in Worst-Case-Scenario-Ville.
  2. Read something light. I save my serious reading for morning, but I like to let my mind wander through some pages in the evening. Nothing stressful or too involved. A tech magazine is usually perfect.
  3. Optimize the environment. Temperature and light can really affect my sleep patterns. I sleep best when it’s chilly and absolutely dark, so I turn the temp down a bit lower than during the day and make sure the blackout blinds are shut tight.
  4. Take the right supplements. Natural Calm and Kavinace Ultra PM finally allowed me to punch Ambien in the face. They flat work—at least for me. (Your mileage may vary.)
  5. Use essential oils. Several of my daughters are involved in dōTERRA essential oils. I use them topically to help set the stage for optimal relaxation and sleep. Vetiver, frankincense, and lavender are three of my favorites. After my supplements and oils, I’m nearly out.
  6. Listen to soothing music. Gail and I often listen to some mellow music before bed. It works like a cue: When the music begins, it signals my mind and body that it’s time to start getting ready for bed. We especially like the LifeScapes series. Here is our exact playlist from Amazon Digital Music. (This is the only retailer that still appears to carry this music.)
  1. Turn up the white noise. Most of the time I run a fan at night. If I can’t do that because of travel, I use an iPhone app called WhiteNoise. A gentle hum in the background keeps sharp noises at bay and lets me drift asleep and stay that way till morning.
  2. Stick with the same bedtime. One way to ensure I get enough sleep is to get to bed early enough each night. It’s tough because I’m always trying to get more done. But even during our recent launch for Platform University, I was in bed before 10 p.m.
  3. Pray. Once the lights are out, Gail and I lie in bed, hold hands, and pray. We express our gratitude and let go of anything that is weighing us down. It puts us both in a great state of mind for calm, restful sleep.

Without good sleep, I find myself unfocused, fatigued, less creative, less resilient, short-tempered, and unproductive. It’s a losing combination. But I can turn that all around if I faithfully follow my nighttime ritual.

“The nighttime is the right time to set yourself up for a productive day.” Michael Hyatt

Some of these nine activities may work for you; some of them may not. The important thing is to to see your routine as a work in process. Keep tweaking until you get it right. What gets you the best night’s sleep possible? That’s the question you have to answer.

If you do, you’ll probably discover you’re more rested, creative, energetic, and productive the next day.

Apricot Pits and Vitamin C “Absolutely Forbidden” Together. Mastery Newsletter. July 1, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Apricot Pits and Vitamin C “Absolutely Forbidden” Together

 

Many of us, myself included, have taken a few apricot pits to help prevent cancer.

G. Edward Griffin’s work WORLD WITHOUT CANCER outlined how Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura at Sloan Kettering Institute found laetrile to inhibit tumor growth.

 

Griffin states that the cause of cancer is a lack of this nutrient. Prevention, therefore, is to ensure we get this nutrient in much the same way as Vitamin C prevents scurvy.

 

This still appears to be valid, but there is a new twist. New to me anyway.

 

This information comes from Victoria, Canada naturopath Dr. Neil McKinney’s work. In his encyclopedic work NATUROPATHIC ONCOLOGY, McKinney states that the Contreras Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico has used Laetrile for years.

 

It helps cancer cases, says McKinney but not noticeably better than orthodox oncology.

 

McKinney: “The historical record on laetrile has been polarized and distorted. I do not know who to believe. What little science there is has been lost in a cloud of propaganda. I have never used Laetrile, out of trepidation over its reported toxicity…However, many cancer patients today self-medicate with 4 to 5 apricot pits daily, and some claim results. This is probably the most toxic form of laetrile, and can trigger muscular weakness, respiratory distress, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and toxaemia. Vitamin C increases cyanide absorption, so the combination of Vitamin C and Laetrile is absolutely forbidden.”

 

Not knowing this, I may have induced cyanide poisoning as I fairly regularly throw in 3 to 4 apricot pits into my smoothie, which often includes citrus fruits, a rich source of Vitamin C.

 

So, be aware. No Vitamin C at times when you are taking apricot pits or even apple seeds or peach pits as well.

 

Dr. McKinney’s book is available from his clinic http://vitalvictoria.ca/publications and has my highest recommendation.

 

The chapter on cancer prevention strategies is invaluable.

 

One in three are expected to get cancer. What is your strategy to deal with this epidemic and crisis?

 

You may find answers in this book.

Your Most Important Job is to Feel Good…No Matter What. Mastery Newsletter. June 17, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Your Most Important Job is to Feel Good…No Matter What

Here is Why and How

 

From birth to about 6 years of age, our brain waves are predominantly slow waves. These are called Delta and Theta waves (Lipton 2008).

 

These slow waves are associated with hypnosis, a trance like state, with profound creativity and with sleep and dreaming (Fehmi & Robbins 2010, Wise 2002). *

 

Children Are Highly Impressionable

 

This is why, for young children, the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. Who has heard the thought that young children are highly impressionable? This is the reason.

 

What we learn in this phase of life continues to affect us as adults.

 

Traumatic life experiences at that age can be experienced as threats to survival. One example would be if mommy is angry and daddy is a raging alcoholic.

 

At this stage, the child is not able to tell that mommy and daddy are not going to kill him or her!

 

The body’s elegant survival system is kicked into high gear and the child hides from what it perceives as a life threatening situation. The fight or flight stress hormones run rampant.

 

Threats in Childhood are Remembered as Adults

 

That memory gets encoded in what is called the limbic system, otherwise known as the reptilian brain.

 

Now that person is an adult. When a boss or a spouse is yelling, the same fight or flight survival mechanism kicks in. “Ah hah, this sounds like mommy yelling, I better hide.”

 

This is all Unconscious

 

It is important to note and underline, this is all happening BELOW THE CONSCIOUS LEVEL. It makes no difference if we know all about it logically and in the rational mind. Our system’s first job is survival, to keep us safe. This is instinctual and operating below the conscious level.

 

In a real life threatening event, there is often no time to think things through. We have to survive and instincts kick in.

 

Causes us Misery in Adult Life

 

These survival mechanisms, which were critical to survival on the savannah 100,000 years ago, can cause great misery and grief to us today.

 

Solution: Find ways to feel good…no matter what.

 

Because when we feel good, the endorphins run the show.

 

Endorphins Crowd out Stress Hormones

 

The stress hormones CANNOT COEXIST IN THE BODY WITH THE FEEL GOOD HORMONES!

 

Feeling Good May be the Solution to Many of Our Life Challenges

 

Easier said than done, of course. But here are some ways.

 

Laughter, Smiling, Breathing and Posture (LSBP).

 

Laughter: When we laugh for at least 10-15 minutes, that process releases the endorphins. It does take that long. Laughing at a joke for 3-5 seconds doesn’t do it. That is why Laughter Yoga is so popular.

 

Smiling: When we smile, we feel good and, in that moment, endorphins run the show and we are relieved from the stress hormones.

 

Breathing: Deep and slow breathing does the same. Three deep breaths slow things down and we feel better.

 

Posture: Posture is an often overlooked technique and can fill a textbook. In fact, it does. Esther Gokhale spent a decade and a half studying societies where a natural posture was the norm and wrote a book on how we can regain our natural energy flow by emulating them. 8 STEPS TO A PAIN FREE BACK.

 

To explore these solutions, May I not-so-humbly suggest my book THE ZEN OF JOY, HOW TO REWIRE YOUR BRAIN FOR HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.

 

This manual is designed to produce results in only minutes a day.

 

We are all leading busy lives. It is easy to put off even important things.

 

THE ZEN OF JOY is unique: you only need a few minutes a day to get results.

 

There are some free resources on my website as well. Check it out: http://zenofjoy.com/

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles,

 

 

Matti

Don’t Play Russian Roulette With Your Health and Your Life. Mastery Newsletter. June 10, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Don’t Play Russian Roulette With Your Health and Your Life

Try making money when your health is devastated by dis-ease.

Try enjoying life when you are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

All the money in the world means nothing…without health.

Having energy and vitality is a base-line requirement to being able to fully participate in life and truly to “suck the marrow out of the bone” as it were.

So, it is a puzzle why everyone is not making it their number one job to study health and vitality.

The “default setting” for many seems to be: “I will let my doctor worry about it.”

Why does that not work?

  • Doctors, bless their souls, are faced with an impossible task. Here is my jurisdiction, they are only given 15 minutes to see a patient. Anything over that and they are working for free.
  • Their “Modus Operandus” seems to be: Wait until symptoms show up, then address those symptoms, usually with drugs, surgery or some other dramatic response.
  • Often times, the prescription carries “side effects.” All you have to do is tune into American TV and see the ads for prescription drugs to hear of the many side effects, some quite serious, even possible death is sometimes listed. (Those ads are banned in Canada.)
  • There is little time for doctors to give proactive prevention suggestions, even when they are trained for it. Only a small fraction of their education hours is given to nutrition, as an example.
  • The medical system’s track record for solving modern maladies leaves something to be desired. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes are all on the rise. One in three is expected to get some form of cancer in their lives. Imagine playing Russian Roulette with your life and cancer. Here, have this pistol. It has three chambers. I have put a bullet in one of those chambers. Now, roll the chamber, cock the trigger, place the gun against your head and pull the trigger. In effect, this is what you are doing by relying on the medical system as it stands.

The system’s track record for heart health and diabetes is not much better.

No one cares as much about your health as you do.

It us up to each of us to take care of our bodies as well as our minds, emotions and yes, our spiritual selves.

“Health is the True Wealth.” –Mahatma Ghandi

Childlike Playfulness as Healer and “Deprogrammer”. Mastery Newsletter. June 3, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Childlike Playfulness as Healer and “Deprogrammer”

“Creativity is not the possession of some special talent. It’s about the willingness to play.” — John Cleese

This willingness to play may be our saviour.

In Laughter Yoga, we make pretend we are children and chant “Very good, very good, yay!”

It seems and is silly, but it connects us with our creativity.

It is this willingness to play that opens up not only our creativity, but also our freedom.

Here’s how.

We get messages daily from the media that the world is a dangerous place. The “powers that be” have a vested interest in keeping us connected to fear.

If we fear terrorism, they can create laws that supposedly protect us, but in fact, take away human rights.

If we fear dis-ease, they can sell us drugs.

Fear is a useful emotion. In case of life and death situations, it can guide us away from danger.

If we have constant fear, however, we restrict our creativity and our healing powers.

When we hold on to emotions rather than allowing them to flow through us, we get stuck physically as well. Muscles tighten. Blood flow and nerve flow and energy flow are restricted.

Childlike playfulness can help to release fears (and traumas).

Children wear their emotions on their sleeves. Adults, not so much. We are taught (manipulated?) to “suck it up” and not be childish.

By allowing emotions to flow, being silly, seeing the humour in situations, we activate joy.

In this joyful state, we are more likely to have the “feel good” hormones flowing and not have the stress hormones in play.

The feel good hormones allows our immune systems and endocrine and digestive systems operating more optimally.

The stress hormones basically shut down all other systems besides the survival “fight or flight” system.

By playing more, we gain joy and help to release not only trauma, but fear also.
Love and Laughter, Smiles and Fun,

Mind Release: Stress Relief. Mastery Newsletter. May 27, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Mind Release: Stress Relief

 

When we humans have the stress hormones operating (cortisol as an example), we have no choice but to scan the environment for danger.

 

It is a built-in survival function.

 

When a gazelle is chased by a leopard, all other bodily systems take a back seat to survival. The fight or flight system kicks in. This means all resources are focused on meeting the physical challenge head-on or fleeing to save its life.

 

When the danger is over, the gazelle (and other animals) shake off the stress hormones and continue on.

 

Humans have somehow lost that ability.

 

Now, we have a society with a continuous release of stress hormones all the time. Many of us don’t even remember what it is like to be fully and truly relaxed.

 

And because those around us are also in the same fight or flight mode, we don’t see how big a problem it is.

 

This is what is referred to as “chronic” stress.

 

It means that all other systems are operating sub-par, not efficiently. The digestive system as an example. How can we expect to have good digestion if our bodies are in fight or flight mode?

 

Rhetorical question: of course we do not digest well and can’t expect it if the stress hormones are running rampant in the body.

 

Can we see how critical stress release is for our health? How can we expect good health if we are not fully digesting our food?

 

Further, this mode of operation, always being in “fight or flight” where we have no choice but to scan the environment for threats, can threaten our most precious relationships.

 

Our partner says something. Being in stress mode, our survival mechanism listens for a threat and often times finds it where none exists.

 

We respond “defensively.” Off we go to a conflict where none actually existed….except in our minds.

 

Solution?

Now, when my partner (or anyone) says anything that triggers a thought that seems negative, I ask myself if my responsive thought is because of me being in fight or flight mode, without even realizing it?

 

I make the assumption that my mind is in that mode, smile, relax, maybe chant the Ho’Oponopono chant and release my response.

 

Some may call it bringing “mindfulness” to the situation.

 

I prefer to think of it as “Mind Release.”

 

It is an ongoing challenge and I am more successful at times and not so much at other times.

 

Try out “Mind Release” the next time you find yourself reacting to a statement from your partner…or anyone.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

 

Love, Laughter, Smiles,

 

 

Matti

 

P.S. Ho’Oponopono chant: “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”

The Root Cause of Dis-ease. Mastery Newsletter. May 20, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Special Report from Matti Anttila

 

There is only one dis-ease. All conditions from cancer to the common cold have and everything in between have, at their root, four causal conditions. And we all have all four operating in our lives in the modern, 21st Century world.

 

  • Not getting the nutrition the body needs in the proper proportion delivered to the inside of our cells. Note the words “proper proportion.” This is a challenge in the modern world as much of modern food is deficient in nutrients. Knowing this or sensing this, many are using supplements to fill the gap. This may not be ideal. Part of the reason for the worldwide obesity epidemic is that we in the affluent western world are getting lots of food into our mouths while being starved on the cellular level. The body craves the nutrition, so we stuff more “food” into our mouths that is not being delivered to our cells.

 

  • Build-up of toxins in our bodies. In the 1950s, there were only a handful of chemical additives in our food. Now, there are over 50,000 (probably a lot more, I have lost track). Herbalist Dr. Terry Willard tells us the average North American is taking in 10% of their bodyweight in pure chemicals annually. We are not designed for this, nor is our DNA capable of adjusting to such an onslaught in such a short time. “Paleolithic diet” researchers tell us our bodies have not yet adjusted to the agricultural revolution which is 10,000 years old. It is not rocket science to say that our bodies would find it difficult (the height of understatement) to adjust from zero chemical food additives to over 50,000 in a half century.

 

  • The challenge with this point is to prevent ourselves from rolling our eyes as we hear this old chestnut once again. We have all been told that stress negatively affect us. “Yeah, yeah. Tell me something I don’t know.” Let’s see if we can revisit this with fresh eyes.

 

When we are faced with a life threatening situation, our bodies’ survival mechanisms kick into gear. The body is flooded with hormones and chemicals with one purpose and one purpose only: to survive. Adrenalin and cortisol are amongst those hormones. These are sometimes called the “fight or flight” hormones as their purpose is to neutralize the danger by overcoming it through battle or by fleeing the situation. When the danger is over, there is no more need for those chemicals. Indeed, when a gazelle gets away from a leopard, the gazelle spends about two minutes trembling to release those chemicals and then carries on as if nothing had happened. Humans, not so much. We tend to hang on and keep the fight or flight hormone production up. Therefore, we are chronically stressed.

 

It is important to note that all other systems in the body basically shut down. For example the digestive system. So, no matter how great the diet, if the digestive system is shut down because we are in a continual fight or flight mode, what chance for the body to deliver nutrients to the inside of the cell and nourish the system? Slim and none, right?

By holding on to the fight or flight mode, our bodies stay in continual trauma. Low grade trauma, it can be argued and not like soldiers returning from an actual battle zone, but trauma nonetheless. If we don’t release one trauma, then the next one layers on top of the previous one. Over a lifetime of being in continual cellular level stress and adding more and more layers to the “trauma onion” we impair the body’s natural healing capacity.

 

As a sidebar, this may be a major cause of the high divorce rate. When we are in fight of flight mode, we continuously scan the environment for danger. That is, we are looking for the negatives. Instead of seeing the wonderful qualities of our partners, we have no choice but to see their negatives. No choice as survival is the most basic function of living things, including humans. Until and unless we release the stress (notice I said “release” rather than “overcome.” “Overcome” is a word that we would use to do battle against the stress. That perception itself comes from being in the fight of flight mode.)

 

Another challenge with this is that all around us in the modern world, others are continually stressed, i.e. in fight or flight mode. So it seems the natural order of things. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! It may be normal or what the average person experiences, but it is decidedly NOT natural. Refer back to the gazelle trembling to release stress hormones when the danger is over. THAT is natural, NOT what we humans do. Solutions in a few moments.

 

  • Electromagnetic Chaos. In the 1950s, CKWX radio was one of 7 radio stations in my city, Vancouver. They were the first to go from 10,000 watts to, at that time, an astounding 50,000 watts. The big news at the time was how that increase in power meant that some people were hearing the radio station through the fillings in their teeth and some just by sitting in their bathtubs!

 

Think how much more electrical and electronic “juice” is now circulating in the air. Not only many more radio stations, all the AM ones now at the 50,000 watt level, FM stations, 100,000 watts. Microwave towers, cell phone towers, even simple electricity has “juice” that spills out beyond the wires.

 

Do you think all this extra electrical activity has zero effect on our systems?

 

 

Solutions

 

Clearly identify the problem and you are 90% of the way to the solution.

 

Can’t remember where I first came across that phrase, but it resonates with me and makes sense.

 

If the above four causes are accurate, then we can start to unravel the solutions to all dis-ease and not just isolate any one condition or group of conditions. We can actually begin to unravel any condition. That is my opinion at any rate.

 

Caveats:

 

  • It can be argued that there are other causal factors. a) Emotional: Louise Hay has written on how our emotions can affect our bodies. If so, and I do believe Louise, where can “negative” emotions come from? First, is there such a thing as a negative emotion? Perhaps it is not the emotion itself, but the fact that we humans tend to hold on to them rather than letting them pass through our systems. Just like we humans hold on to the fight or flight mode while animals release them and carry on as if nothing had happened, do we also hang on to emotions?

 

  1. b) Spiritual: Do we choose prior to birth to experience some illnesses to “work out karma?” This is beyond the scope of this article. See “Your Soul’s Plan” if you would like to explore this area.

 

  • Taking personal responsibility. If we accept the idea of four causative factors for dis-ease, it appears then we have little choice but to take over the task of healing ourselves, rather than turning it over to the medical system. This means changing our modus operandus. We have been taught/programmed from an early age to operate like this: Wait until there is a problem, take that problem into a higher authority to fix it for us. In this case, our doctors and the medical system.

 

The good news is we can address the four causative factors ourselves.

 

How to Address all Four Causative Factors

 

#1: Flood the cells with nutrients.

 

There is no end to the number of books, manuals, theories and systems of nutrition. How can I possibly make sense of them? There are so many that contradict each other.

 

Let us use a simple concept to cut through the clutter. That concept is results over time.

 

The Cleveland dentist Weston A. Price traveled the world looking for societies with perfect teeth. He found 14 of them. These societies not only had perfect teeth (.0001 cavities per thousand people, in that order of magnitude) but also had vibrant health and were still working as hard as ever in their 90s and even past age 100.

 

Motivational author and speaker Tony Robbins puts it this way: If you want to be successful at anything, find someone doing it and model them! Do what they are doing and you should get similar results.

 

Building on that concept, you can get Price’s book NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL DEGENERATION. I argue that it is the most important health book of the 20th Century.

 

If you are in a more critical situation, then there are two more recent and powerful books to get a system working for you right away. They are:

 

THE WAHLS PROTOCOL by Dr. Terry Wahls. A medical doctor, she had Multiple Sclerosis that was so pronounced she had to have a reclining wheelchair as the pain was too much for her to sit in a regular chair. She now bicycles! Talk about results.

 

She has three different levels to her protocol to flood the cells with nutrients.

 

The other is PERFECT HEALTH DIET by Paul Jaminet and his wife Shou-Ching Jaminet, both Ph.Ds. In fact, Paul Jaminet is an astrophysicist. That is the closest to rocket scientist I have seen who writes about health. They had very disturbing health problems in their forties, and being the scientists they are, they did their research and found cures.

 

They then said, what would we, as scientists, need to see in a well-researched and documented health book for us to believe it. They then wrote that book, complete with every point backed up by scientific research.

 

Either of these books can give a complete system to address causative factor #1.

 

 

#2. Rid the body of toxins. This may be a lot easier to do than we might think. A recent study in Sweden found that a family who went totally organic showed that most of accumulated pesticides in their bodies disappeared in 2 weeks. https://www.yahoo.com/health/this-is-how-eating-organic-affects-the-pesticide-118942216062.html

 

Further, The Wahls Protocol lines up with Paleolithic Diet ideas that if we fast for 16 hours a day, we can dramatically flush toxins from the body. That involves eating in an 8 hour window from 11am to 7pm. Finish eating by 7pm and don’t break your fast until 11am. That apparently helps the body to cleanse itself with no need to go on expensive cleanses from the health food store.

 

#3. Release/reduce stress. There are many stress reduction and release techniques. Meditation, laughter, smiling, playing, dancing, singing, helping others. The list is long. It does take doing it and making a commitment.

 

I use Laughter Yoga daily. Details: https://victorialaughteryogaclub.wordpress.com/

 

THE ZEN OF JOY is a book I wrote about how to access our authentic joy. http://zenofjoy.com/. It has 24 protocols that take only minutes a day to lift stress, feel joy and therefore enhance our immune function and our health.

 

Note that stress release is not an option. Flooding the body with nutrients will do little if the digestive system is shut down because fight or flight hormones are ruling the roost.

 

Stress release is critical. Don’t overlook it.

 

#4: Get grounded.

 

EARTHING is a book by Clinton Ober, Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Morton Zucker. It is based on the discovery that connecting to the Earth’s natural energy is foundational for vibrant health. The idea is getting your bare feet on to the earth. There are also mats to buy to put on your mattress to sleep while grounded. http://www.earthing.com/

 

 

Notes

 

We are faced with a system that is becoming overloaded. As I write this, I read in this morning’s news about a 71 year old man with an aggressive cancerous growth on his neck. The local British Columbia medical system had an 8 week wait for him to see his oncologist. His Korean born wife arranged for him to fly to South Korea where the tumour was surgically removed. He and the Korean surgeon both agree he would likely have died if he had to wait for surgery in BC. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/gerd-trubenbach-says-flying-to-korea-for-cancer-surgery-was-his-only-hope-1.3079619?cmp=rss

 

 

Health systems are being overwhelmed. All the more reason to begin to take charge of and responsibility for our own health.

 

Thanks for Kevin Trudeau for the idea.

Posture: Far More Critical Than I Ever Realized. Mastery Newsletter. May 13, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

8 Steps to a Pain Free Back

This book came highly recommended. I started reading and based on the first chapters and some photos, already my posture has improved.

 

And I haven’t even started the exercises.

 

It comes highly recommended from a top London Osteopath.

 

My days are more fun because of it. They also flow a lot easier now. Hard to fathom that just paying attention to posture throughout the day would have that effect.

 

See what you think.

 

http://gokhalemethod.com/8-steps-pain-free-back

 

This research goes back and discovers what a “primal posture” is like and how it differs from what we have been taught.

67 Ways to kill Your Family with Sugar. Mastery Newsletter. May 6, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Today’s article is intended to overwhelm…heh heh.

 

Overwhelm with info about how really, really bad sugar is for all of us. It comes from Wellness Consultant Catrina Roesch. And yes, you can skim it and still get the message.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 When reading, keep in mind excessive carbohydrates are the same as sugar to our body.

(bread, rice, potatoes, cereals, pasta, ALL grains, fruit and especially fruit juice)

     67 Ways to kill Your Family with Sugar

In addition to throwing off the body’s homeostasis (The ability or tendency of an organism or a cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.), excess sugar may result in a number of other significant consequences. The following is a listing of some of sugar’s metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and other scientific publications.

 

  1. Sugar can suppress the immune system.Sanchez, et al.

“Role of Sugars in Human Neutrophilic Phagocytosis.

“American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, November 1973, pp. 1180-1184

 

  1. Sugar can upset the body’s mineral balance.

Nutritional Implications of the Interaction between Minerals

Progressive Food and Nutrition Science 17, 1933, 65-87.

 

  1. Sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, concentration difficulties, and crankiness in children.

J.Goldman, et al.

“Behavioral Effects of Sucrose on Preschool Children,”

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 14 1986 565-577.

 

  1. Sugar can cause drowsiness and decreased activity in children.Behar, J. Rapoport, Berg C., Adams, and M. Cornblat.

“Sugar Testing with Children Considered Behaviorally Sugar Reactive.”

Nutritional Behavior 1 1984 277-288

 

  1. Sugar can adversely affect children’s school grades.

Alexander Schausss.

MOVIES WORTH WATCHING

 

The Wipers Times A BBC production. Excellent for history buffs.

True Story: It’s 1916 and British Captain Fred Roberts and his detachment discover an abandoned printing press in the ruins of Ypres, Belgium.

 

Roberts has an idea, he will produce a newspaper to raise the spirits of his soldiers, taking their minds off ‘the attentions of Messrs Hun and Co.’ They call it The Wipers Times, after the army slang for Ypres, and fill it with spoofs, jokes, and subversive comedy.

 

A hit with the troops on the Western Front, it also incurs the wrath of top brass who want it banned.

6 Reasons to Drink Coffee Before Your Workout. Mastery Newsletter. April 22, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

6 Reasons to Drink Coffee Before Your Workout

 

Disclosure: I don’t do this. Mostly because I am not a coffee drinker. I enjoy a cup very occasionally and don’t feel the need to do this prior to a workout. If, however, you ARE a coffee drinker, this article may be valuable for you.

 

http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2014/07/11

 

 

 

 

“Give your troubles to God. When you worry, it is your funeral, all arranged by yourself. You don’t want to be buried alive by your anxieties. Why suffer and die every day from worry? No matter what you may go through–poverty, sorrow, ill health–remember that somebody on earth is suffering a hundred more times than you are. Do not consider yourself so unfortunate, for thus you defeat yourself, and close out the omnipotent light of God that is ever seeking to help you.”

MORE Flexible as we Age? Is it possible? Mastery Newsletter April 15, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Dedicated to Health, Wealth and Fr~eedom

MORE Flexible as we Age? Is it possible?

 

What if “Old Age” had little to do with the number of years we have accumulated?

 

You have noticed how physically flexible babies are, I am sure.

 

You may remember seeing a baby sticking its toes into its mouth…easily, effortlessly and without strain.

 

Why can’t adults do that? What happens between babyhood and adulthood?

 

Some yogis can bend themselves into all kinds of pretzel-like shapres, despite advanced age. What is the difference between them and us?

 

Could it be the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” as Shakespeare so eloquently put it?

 

Could it be just that, the traumas, little and large, that populate our timelines?

 

Could it be that when we don’t release a physical trauma that it creates a physical tension in the musculature?

 

Is that why a yogi can bend so easily, because they are continually releasing those traumas, those tensions?

 

Trauma researcher David Berceli tells us we can trace many physical ailments, dis-eases and indeed actual diseases to the stresses caused by trauma.

 

Berceli also tells us we all have trauma in our lives.

 

Further, WebMd.com tells us:

 

“Ongoing, chronic stress…can cause or exacerbate many serious health problems, (bolding and underlining are mine) including:

 

Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders

 

Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, and stroke…

 

Gastrointestinal problems, such as GERD, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, and irritable colon”

 

-Source: WebMD.com http://ow.ly/JHEHd

 

Solutions?

 

Berceli’s Revolutionary Trauma Release Process™ is one. I use it regularly.

 

Laughter Yoga is another. I apply it daily. 10-15 minutes daily goes a long way to help release what I call the “trauma onion.” That is to say, layers and layers of trauma we may have accumulated over a lifetime.

 

Meditation. Applied daily.

 

The Zen of Joy protocols. This is a manual I created to make it easier to rewire our brains for happiness and success. And to do it in only minutes a day. Check here: http://zenofjoy.com/.

 

At the least, you can plug into the Seven Step Zen of Joy Coaching.

 

It won’t cost you anything and it will give you a taste of joy, happiness, success and fun. http://zenofjoy.com/

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles

Laughter as Trauma Release. Mastery Newsletter April 1, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Laughter as Trauma Release

 

Trauma is something we all have experienced. It affects our everyday lives in various way.

 

David Berceli, author of The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process™, says: “Consider the fact that life begins traumatically…Bursting into the light for the first time in our existence, our entry into the world is a shock to the human organism…it’s no wonder we begin life by bellowing our lungs out…

 

 

…our culture presents us with considerable psycho-emotional trauma—the kind of trauma caused primarily by social conditioning. Situations that threaten our social self such as rejection, shame, fear of failure, and negative judgment by others cause us to react in the same manner as if we were being threatened physically.”

 

How Illness Results From Trauma

 

Berceli continues: “There is now evidence that even excess stress, let alone severe trauma, is a factor in a variety of illnesses. These include anxiety disorders, depression, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal troubles, some cancers, and premature aging…

 

…frequency and severity of migraine headaches, episodes of asthma, and fluctuation of blood sugar in diabetics…more prone to develop colds and other infections than those who are less stressed. This is because stress reduces the efficiency of our immune system, which would normally fight off infection.”

 

Can Laughter Release Trauma, Tension and Stress?

 

If you were with me when I started Laughter Yoga during the spring of 2009, you would have been laughing for an hour every Saturday morning and having a great old time.

 

Angry the Next Day

 

What you would not have witnessed was me being angry all the next day.

 

I asked the founder of Laughter Yoga, Dr. Madan Kataria about this. He told me that, in India when a family experiences death of a loved one, they express the emotion of grief by crying and wailing and letting it all out.

 

We Westeners Hold on to Emotions Rather Than Expressing Them

 

We tend not to do that in our western society. We hold it in. And where we hold it in is the diaphragm.

 

In Laughter Yoga sessions, we laugh and move that diaphragm rather dramatically for the better part of an hour.

 

Trapped Emotions Shaken Loose.

 

That is what experienced on those Sundays. Emotions that had been trapped for who knows how many years, perhaps decades.

 

Eventually the Anger No Longer Visited.

 

The good news is they did shake loose and after some weeks, I was no longer angry the next day.

 

The better news is I didn’t have to go do therapy sessions or even know what caused the trauma/tension/stress in the first place.

 

All I Had to do Was Laugh.

 

The wisdom of my body to know what to do took care of the rest.

 

The Challenge? Keeping Going.

 

Trauma and stress can be layered deeply over a lifetime of incidents large and small. When one layer is released, another more deeply embedded layer comes to the surface.

 

 

Just Keep Laughing. Trust the Wisdom of Your Body.

 

Your body knows. No diploma needed. Just keep laughing regularly. Trust that the next layer whatever it is, will release at the proper time and in the most appropriate way.

 

Other Ways to Release.

 

Berceli’s Revolutionary Trauma Release Process™ is a particularly powerful way to release.

 

We must not forget dancing, singing, smiling and a host of other ways.

 

Trust Your Instincts.

 

That’s the bottom line. A good place to start is a Laughter Yoga Club. Laughter Yoga, as well as being fun, social and energizing, also helps us to open up to receiving messages from our intuition.

 

Over to you.

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

 

Matti

Claiming Your Joy Workshop Mastery Newsletter Update March 11. 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

You know by that I have received lots of benefits from Laughter Yoga. (How could you not know, I have been bending the ears of anyone who gets close to me 🙂 )

 

And you know I wrote The Zen of Joy to support the “journey of joy.”

 

Now, another “protocol” or set of techniques has shown up. It is the Trauma Release Process.

 

Basic idea is that we have some level of trauma in our past.

 

It could be skinning our knees as kids…or more serious physical injury.

 

It could be emotional trauma…losing your first love as an example.

 

Animals shake off trauma. Humans in our society tend not to.

 

The stress hormones are useful and required for the gazelle to escape the lion. When it does, it shakes and trembles for a couple of minutes. That releases the stress hormones, the cortisol and so on, and stops the production of further stress hormones.

 

Then the animal continues on as if nothing happened.

 

What do humans do?

 

We tend to hang on to stressful events. The stress hormone production continues unabated. We find ourselves in a state of continuous stress production.

 

This has huge implications for our health. When we are in “fight or flight” mode, all the other systems, digestion as an example, are not getting energy. They are basically shut down or operating at minimum level.

 

The Trauma Release Process which I am now doing 3 to 4 times a week is designed to artificially create trembling to release the tensions/stresses we carry from layers of trauma, big and or small.

 

I have to tell you it is the only thing that has started to address some physical tensions that have not been helped by anything else up to now.

 

It is wonderful enough, I have to share it. So…

 

I put together this workshop: Claiming Your Joy. Details on this page where you will also find the link to order your ticket(s): http://joyenergyandhealth.com/claiming-your-joy-workshop

The Power of the Heart: Your Heart’s GPS. Mastery Newsletter, March 2, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

The Power of the Heart: Your Heart’s GPS

 

Your heart has a GPS very similar to your car’s Global Positioning System.

 

Like the car GPS, it directs you to your destination.

 

Unlike your car’s GPS, where you punch in your destination, the destination is hard wired into your heart: it is Your Highest Good.

 

If you ignore your car’s GPS and don’t make the turn it recommends, it will recalibrate your route.

 

In the same way, if you don’t follow your heart’s promptings, your heart too, will recalibrate.

 

Your heart is always leading you to Your Highest Good.

 

Your heart’s GPS speaks to you in your intuition. It may make you uncomfortable or irritable in order to get your attention. It may communicate in a dream or a song you can’t get out of your head.

 

However your intuition communicates, trust it. You may have to follow it blindly before you see how accurate it is.

 

The heart actually has a brain. This brain is superior to the brain in our heads.

 

Many of the problems in our lives and indeed in the modern world may be traceable back to allowing the brain in our heads, the logical side of us, to run the show, instead of allowing the heart’s brain, our intuition, to lead the way.

 

The brain in our cranium is woefully inadequate to the task. It always and forever can only see part of the picture.

 

Albert Einstein said: “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.”

 

 

The heart is plugged into infinite intelligence and can see the larger picture. It can warn us of disasters or “accidents” waiting to happen in our path and steer us away from them.

 

It can shorten the distance to our destination…but only if we learn to follow the intuitive messages it sends to us.

 

How do we do that?

 

The suggestion from the book The Power of the Heart, by Baptist de Pape is that our intention is the first step. de Pape quotes the writer and poet Ilyas Kasam: “It is more important to be of pure intention than of perfect action.”

 

The Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh says to ask some questions before taking action.

 

“Am I sure?” can help to head off wrong perceptions.

 

“Is my intention right for now?

 

“Am I acting automatically or out of habit?”

 

Finally: “Is my intention based in loving kindness, in compassion and well-wishes for others?”

 

By listening for the answer, the first thought that comes up after each question, we may find our practice of listening to intuition strengthening over time.

 

“The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.” -Lao Tzu

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

HEALTH

 

Your DNA Is Largely Controlled by Your Gut Flora

 

An abnormal microbiome is a factor behind inflammation, food cravings, obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and many of the other chronic diseases seen today.

 

When your gut flora is unhealthy, leaky gut syndrome can develop whereby food particles leach into your bloodstream where they can trigger allergic and inflammatory responses.

 

An abnormal microbiome can also lead to depression and other emotional and physical problems, because your gut bacteria provide a significant source of your amino acids, vitamins and other important compounds. Three major ones are ATP, tryptophan and serotonin.

 

Beneficial bacteria also play an enormous role in your genetic expression—continuously helping flip genes off and on as you need them. Your genetic expression is 50 to 80 percent controlled by how you eat, think and move, and your genes change daily—if not hourly.

 

You may be surprised to learn that 140 times more genetic influence comes from your microbes as from the DNA in your own cells.

 

Your genes control protein coding, which determines your hormones, weight, fertility, mood and others.

The Slight Edge

 

Why is it that some people live the life they’ve always dreamed of, while others watch from the sidelines as their own dreams gather dust? Is it luck, or an elusive quality that only some people are born with? Neither.

 

Everything you need to live your own dream is contained between the pages of a simple book.

 

It’s called The Slight Edge, and it’s NOT a self-help gimmick or motivational tool. It simply shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life, by using tools that are already within you.

 

Once you’ve got it, then you will discover how your philosophy…creates your attitude…creates your actions…creates your results…creates YOUR LIFE! And your life will never be the same again.

“On close inspection, Bill C-51 is not an anti-terrorism bill. Fighting terrorism is its pretext; its language reveals a broader goal of allowing government departments, as well as CSIS, to act whenever they believe limply defined security threats “may” – not “will” – occur.”

Do You Have Deadly Stress? “Voo” to the Rescue. Mastery Newsletter Update February 18, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Do You Have Deadly Stress? “Voo” to the Rescue

                                            

Healing Sexual Trauma at the Same Time

 

 

Chronically tight muscles may, over time, actually cause dis-ease.

 

We are designed to sense danger or threat two ways.

 

First, our external sense organs evaluate potential threats in our environment. If we see a bear close by, we know we are in danger.

 

Trauma expert Peter A. Levine tells us the other way we assess threat:

 

We also assess threat directly from the state of our viscera and our muscles — our internal sense organs. If our muscles are tense, we unconsciously interpret these tensions are foretelling the existence of danger, even when none actually exists. Tight muscles in the neck and shoulders may, for example, signal to the brain that you are likely to be hit…We suffer even greater distress when our guts are persistently overstimulated by the vagus nerve. If we are nauseated, twisted in our guts, feel our muscles collapsing, and lack in energy, we feel helpless and hopeless — even though there is no actual decimating threat. In other words, the churning itself signals grave threat and dread to the brain, even when nothing is currently wrong — at least not externally.”

 

 

These intense and heightened muscle tensions are meant to be temporary. If they become permanent, Levine says, “…one is left in acute and, eventually, chronic distress.”

 

 

Levine gives one solution. Sounding “Voo” like a foghorn. Imagine being a foghorn leading your spirit out of the fog back home.

 

Here he is explaining how to do it: http://ow.ly/JhpLb

 

 

Enjoy the process.

 

Love and Laughter,

 

Matti

Is This the Root of All Your Challenges? Mastery Newsletter Update. February 13, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Is This the Root of All Your Challenges?

 

Could our worries, anxieties, fears and even depressions have this at its root?

 

Could our physical symptoms/conditions/dis-eases have this as a contributing factor at the least?

 

What is “this?”

 

Trauma.

 

Traumas, big and/or small may layer on top of each other until they create one or more of the conditions above.

 

This is from those therapists and authors who have worked with traumas for year. People like David Berceli who created the Revolutionary Trauma Release Process™

 

Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma author Peter Levine concurs.

 

We All Have Trauma

 

From that book’s introduction:

 

“The fact is that, over time, a series of seemingly minor mishaps can have a damaging effect on a person. Trauma does not have to stem from a major catastrophe. Some common triggering events include:

 

* Automobile accident (even fender benders)

* Routine invasive medical procedures

* Loss of loved ones

* Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes

 

Even falling off a bicycle can be overwhelming to a child under certain circumstances…almost all of us have experienced some form of trauma, either directly or indirectly.”

 

Anger After Laughter

 

An example of how this might work: during my first spring attending Laughter Yoga sessions weekly on a Saturday morning, I always felt joy and fantastic, energetic hopefulness. (this is typical of a Laughter Yoga session, by the way).

 

Then, all day Sunday, I was angry all day.

 

This went on for a number of weeks until it resolved itself.

 

When I went for my Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher training in the summer of 2009, I asked the founder Dr. Madan Kataria about this (He is the medical doctor who started the wildly successful Laughter Yoga clubs in 1995).

 

Fully Expressing Grief Releases Trauma

 

He told me that in India, when there is a death in the family, the family expresses their grief, they cry, they wail. They let it all out instead of trapping it in the body as we westerners do.

 

Westerners tend to hold it in and where we hold it in is in the diaphragm!

 

During Laughter Yoga, we move the diaphragm rather energetically. This can cause those trapped emotions to surface.

 

Laughter Yoga Can Clear Trauma…Over Time

 

The good news is that Laughter Yoga not only brings those emotions to the surface, it also helps to clear them. As I started to attend sessions a few times a week, the anger no longer came up. It had cleared.

 

Trauma Layers

 

My understanding is that we all have many traumas large and small, physical and emotional. They can be layered on top of each other. When the anger cleared, the next layer of trauma shows up. Fun times. 🙂

 

Peeling the Trauma Onion

 

It is as if these traumas layered on top of each other are like an onion.

 

Now, the question becomes, how to cut through many layers at once?

 

Daily Laughter

 

I now practice laughing at least once a day for a minimum of 10-15 minutes. (Dr. Kataria’s research indicates we need at least that long a period of laughter to get the health and medical benefits of laughter.) That daily practice has helped to continue the peeling of the “trauma onion.”

 

Trembling Solution to Trauma

 

Another practice I have started is David Berceli’s Revolutionary Trauma Release Process™

 

This is artificially create the trembling that children and animals in nature automatically do to release the stress hormones after a traumatic event.

 

In nature, an example would be a gazelle who just ran and got away from a lion. Berceli’s discovery: about two minutes is enough and then the gazelle carries on with life as it nothing had happened. Animals truly live in the “now.”

 

Cause or Contributing Factor?

 

Does it matter? If trauma is present in all of these conditions: PTSD, depression, anxiety, worry, fear, why not clear the trauma and see what happens?

 

Dis-eases: Can They Clear with Cleared Trauma?

 

No claims. Let us be clear on that. But, let’s look at how trauma may contribute.

 

If trauma causes muscles in our body to contract and stay contracted permanently, might this cause less blood flow to those muscles and to some organs, and maybe less nerve connection and less energy or “chi” flow as well?

 

Nutrition and Energy Missing

 

Can nerve disconnection, less blood flow and energy flow combine to help create conditions where some parts are just not getting the nutrition and energy required for health?

 

I don’t think we have to have extended medical training to use our common sense and say: “Hey, maybe that is possible.”

 

Is Your “River” Dammed Up?

 

An analogy may be a river that is dammed up. That may create stagnant pools of water where toxins can build up.

 

Might our bodies have stagnant pools where toxins build up because of trauma?

 

Proof of the Pudding.

 

It’s always in the eating, is it not?

 

Some Experiments to Consider

 

Laughter Yoga sessions. While contra-indicated for some, many folks just feel joy, happiness, more energy and relaxation at the same time. Maybe it also will start the trauma clearing process.

 

Other Trauma Release Processes

 

David Berceli’s book is in the library. See if that makes sense for you.

 

There are other methods as well. I am researching and will report back as I learn more.

 

Just Do It

 

As with anything, this info is only useful if you actually do it, actually start implementing.

 

Questions? I am delighted to answer any that come up. Feel free to email me. mailto:88matti@gmail.com.

 

Love and laughter…and smiles.

 

Matti
