expression of love…is the very purpose of physical life. Mastery Newsletter Update May 16, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

“Ultimately, the creation and expression of love in all forms is the very purpose of physical life.”

 

“When we are grieving, we need more than every to extend the same love to ourselves that we would offer so freely and generously to a friend in mourning…For the soul, grief is an expression of love and every expression of love is healing.”

 

This is from Robert Schwartz’s book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents.

 

“Ultimately, the creation and expression of love in all forms is the very purpose of physical life.”

 

You are important. Not just important, but just as important as any person on the planet, now, in past history or in the future. Everything you say, do and feel has an impact on the universe and everything and everyone in it.

Civilization: The Worst Plague in History? Mastery Newsletter May 2, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

10,000 years ago, we began the change from the hunter-gatherer life to a more agricultural one.

 

Did this usher in the worst plague in our history?

 

The agricultural revolution allowed for the evolution of our modern life. It also created the environment for a host of diseases.

 

Many studies now show that our bodies have not adapted to agricultural food. (!)

 

For literally millions of years, our systems were designed for the food we ate prior to the last 10,000 years.

 

10,000 years may seem a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it is a blip. It is a mere 0.4% of our time on the planet (if 2.5 million years is correct).

 

My study of what has been termed “The Paleo Diet” has just begun. I am slowly moving into the experimental stage with my own body.

 

In future editions of this newsletter, I will report back on the results.

 

So far, in four weeks, I am feeling slightly better and more energetic. Nothing like the testimonials I am reading about. We will see as I move more deeply into doing it the 85% of the time that the Grandfather of Paleo Diets suggests.

 

He is one Loren Cordain, Ph.D.

 

The Paleo Diet, The Paleo Answer and The Paleo Diet for Athletes are his books. http://thepaleodiet.com

 

The Wahl Protocol is written by a doctor who reversed her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) using Paleo principles.

 

Now, that excites me. MS is supposedly a progressively degenerating disease, i.e. it just gets worse. There can be relapses for short periods, but no cure.

 

And here we find a woman who goes from a wheelchair to a bicycle!

 

If she can do that with Paleo, then my little dis-eases should be fairly easy to address.

 

I feel a bit like a kid in a candy store with this study.

 

Stay tuned.

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

“Cheap” Food is Really the Most Expensive

Look below the surface and see the real cost. What you pay at the store for cheap food is just the down payment. You pay five more times for it.

 

from mercola.com:

“”Cheap food” isn’t cheap when you consider all of the hidden costs associated with it. You make your first payment at the grocery store—just consider this your down payment, because you may be paying for it FIVE more times!

 

Subsidies: At tax time, you pay for “cheap food” a second time with your contribution to agricultural subsidies. Processed food is mostly corn, canola, soy, rice, wheat, and sugar. These products (along with cotton) account for 98 percent of subsidies.

Foodborne Illnesses: You may pay for cheap food a third time if you visit your doctor as a result of foodborne illnesses. CDC estimates that foodborne illnesses such as E. coli and salmonella cause 5,200 deaths each year in the US. Mass scale operations are riddled with quality control problems, leading to outbreaks of illness and food recalls.

Chronic Disease: You pay for it a fourth time if you return to your doctor later for a chronic illness—heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, and cancer—consider these “foodborne” illnesses that just take a little longer to manifest. According to CDC, one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop type 2 diabetes.

Environment: As soon as the factory farmer files for bankruptcy and leaves, you pay for your food a fifth time. This is what often happens when they are asked to clean up their land—a monumental expense that often results in bankruptcy, sticking the rest of us with the tab.

Energy: The sixth time is when you pay your fuel bill. Processed foods and imported foods have an extremely large energy footprint. One-fifth of US fossil fuel consumption goes to the growing, packaging, and transporting of food.

How to Move Mountains. Mastery Newsletter Update April 22, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

“The combination of focused thought and a belief in oneself as unlimited is potent enough to move mountains.”

 

“All judgment of others is self judgment. It is necessarily so. Profound spiritual growth occurs when we bravely pull that cloak away and acknowledge how we feel about ourselves. This process is difficult and requires unflinching self-candor, but its rewards are great.”

 

This is from Robert Schwartz’s book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents.

“In the realm of peace, tranquility, and serenity from which we came and to which we will return, we experience no opposites. There, peace is forever unshattered, tranquility always undisturbed, serenity constant.”

Your Soul’s Plan Part 3. Mastery Newsletter Update

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

“…life challenges allow us to know ourselves as love. By this I mean not simply that we are loving, although certainly that is true, but that we are quite literally made of the energy of love. In our nonphysical Home, we experience no contrast to ourselves and therefore cannot fully understand our nature as love. On Earth, in a realm of duality and stark contrast, we often encounter a lack of love. As we choose in the face of such experiences to give and receive love freely and unconditionally, we remember who we really are.”

Your Soul’s Plan Part 2. Mastery Newsletter Update April 11, 2014

“Each of us is a seed that was planted within our world’s current vibration…”

You are important. Not just important, but just as important as any person on the planet, now, in past history or in the future. Everything you say, do and feel has an impact on the universe and everything and everyone in it.

This is the message from Robert Schwartz’s book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents.

From the book:

“Each of us is a seed that was planted within our world’s current vibration. When we raise our own frequencies through the growth produced by our life’s challenges, we raise the world’s frequencies from within. Like a single drop of dye added to a glass of water, each person alters the entire hue. As we create feelings of joy, even if we do so while living alone on a mountaintop, we emit a frequency that makes it easier for others to be joyful. As we create feelings of peace, we resonate an energy that helps to win wars. As we love, we make it easier for others, both those we meet and those who will never know of us, to love. Who we are is therefore far more meaningful than anything we may ever do.”

Common Sense Is Not Enough Anymore. Mastery Newsletter April 4, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

Common Sense Is Not Enough Anymore

 

The world has become so complex, it is as if there are hidden minefields all over the place. These minefields contain silent mines. If you “step” on them, it may take months, years or decades for the bombs to “explode.”

 

Without knowledge of these minefields, we can be triggering all kinds of conditions and “dis-eases” for ourselves and our families.

 

The Good News Story: PCBs are decreasing in our bodies

 

Take PCB’s for example. Many may have heard about Polychlorinated Biphenyls which were widely used as coolants in electrical applications until they were banned because of their toxicity. You can read about PCBs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl

 

This is a good news story in that PCBs are now decreasing in humans. Testing has shown that children have less of it in their bodies than do adults. (source: SLOW DEATH BY RUBBER DUCK by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie)

 

The Bad News Story: PBDEs, a “cousin” of PCBs, have the same toxicity and are INCREASING in our bodies.

 

However, there is another story. This one about PBDEs or polybrominated diphenyls. PDBEs are basically a cousin to PCBs. They are used in flame retardants. And they are increasing in the bodies of infants and young children especially.

 

“When you take PBDEs into the laboratory and look at them for endocrine disruption, for thyroid hormones and for developmental neurotoxicity, they have the same effects, the effects you’d expect them to have based on their similarity to PCBs.” –SLOW DEATH BY RUBBER DUCK page 111.

 

Where are PBDEs used? In flame retardants.

 

Now, “common sense” may well tell you that it is a good thing to have flame retardants in your furniture and in your children’s pyjamas.

 

Common sense may NOT tell you that those same flame retardants may disrupt your hormones, your endocrine system and your nervous system.

 

Source: SLOW DEATH BY RUBBER DUCK. For the fuller story, you can read that book, or you can subscribe to the 108 TIPS FOR MORE JOY, ENERGY AND HEALTH, where you will find a number of tips on how to reduce your exposure to PBDEs and a whole slew of other toxins that “common sense” won’t tell you about.

 

http://joyenergyandhealth.com/ is the site to click on.

 

High Fructose Corn Syrup: Leading Cause of the World Wide Obesity Epidemic?

 

If common sense were enough, we would not have a world wide obesity epidemic.

 

Did you know about this? Anecdotally, I visited my home country of Finland in 1978 and 1982. At that time, there certainly were overweight people. But nothing like my recent trips where I have seen young people grossly overweight. This is also the case in the UK, from my observations.

 

What is the cause? This is my personal conclusion and not backed up by the medical community…yet. Just so you know.

 

In the 1970s, U.S. President Richard Nixon’s administration pushed the use of HFCS or High Fructose Corn Syrup as an alternative to sugar. It had benefits: it was cheaper than sugar, for one thing.

 

HFCS Turns Off The “Satiety Switch”

 

Food manufacturers jumped on it and now HFCS is in many food items. The other “benefit” to manufacturers was and is that HFCS “turns off the satiety switch.” In other words, when you consume HFCS, you do not feel full. Instead we can easily continue to eat, eat and over-eat.

 

This “benefit” of HFCS has caused the population of the developed world to overeat. Thus the obesity epidemic.

 

HFCS Responsible for increase in Type 2 Diabetes?

 

HFCS may also be responsible for the increase in type 2 diabetes.  This used to be called “Adult Onset Diabetes.” The name was changed when a new phenomenon occurred: children as young as eight years of age are now coming down with this disease. Could HFCS in humongous sized soft drinks possibly be contributing?

 

“Common sense” may tell you that we are ok as long as don’t overdo anything. When everyone around us is consuming 150 pounds of sugar and sugar substitutes per year on average, we may feel we are in a safe zone if we only consume 100 pounds per year. This is still a far cry from 3 pounds per person per year in the 1800s.

 

Epidemic of Silent Inflammation?

 

“Common sense” may not know about the pioneering work of Dr. Richard Johnson, author of THE SUGAR FIX.

 

Dr. Johnson and a handful of researchers have discovered that our overconsumption of fructose of fruit sugar has caused what may be called an epidemic of silent inflammation in the population.

 

Other researchers point to inflammation as a causative factor in all disease.

 

Might it be that many of our modern diseases could be alleviated, if not cured, by addressing this silent inflammation?

 

“Common sense” may tell us that we are better off by cutting back on our sugar consumption.

 

Cutting Back on Sugar Consumption Does Nothing?

 

It won’t tell us what Dr. Johnson found. His research shows that cutting back on fructose consumption does little or nothing to decrease the silent inflammation once the fructose enzymes have been activated by overconsumption. (White sugar is a complex sugar made up of two simple sugars: glucose and fructose.)

 

The action steps to help prevent all disease are in his book THE SUGAR FIX. Or you can subscribe to the 108 TIPS FOR MORE JOY ENERGY AND HEALTH. http://joyenergyandhealth.com/ is the site to click on.

 

These are just a couple of examples. The 108 TIPS FOR MORE JOY, ENERGY AND HEALTH addresses many, many other topics to navigate the minefield of modern life.

 

One more example I will leave you with: If it is true that Fukushima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island have increased radiation above safe levels, what are the solutions?

 

Yes, there are solutions you and I can implement on an individual level…without waiting for governments to take action. Again, this is all covered in 108 TIPS FOR MORE JOY ENERGY AND HEALTH. http://joyenergyandhealth.com/ is the site to click on.

 

I love you all. That is why I am continuing research into tools and techniques to increase energy, health and wellbeing in a complex modern world.

 

Feedback always appreciated.

Love and laughter (the two most powerful medicines) to you all.

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos Part 10. Some wisdom from Emmanuel’s Book. Mastery Newsletter Update March 26, 2014

You are light

Wherever you are is lighted.

You are never in darkness.

You are only approaching darkness.

You are never in death.

You are only approaching death

for when death is entered

it is life.

For you are alive.

 

Therefore, once you have found yourself

you are infinitely safe

for you are always who you are.

Ultimately, when you return Home

to be received by God,

you will welcome yourself

with love and understanding.

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos Part 9

Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.

Some wisdom from the book:

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

Is the planet on the edge of destruction?

 

School cannot be dismissed so early.

The bell will not ring.

You will not go on the extended vacation

that many are seeking by saying

“Let’s get it over with.”

 

Man is still so immature

that in believing himself powerful enough

to obliterate the world

there is a sense of grandiosity

that borders on the infantile.

This immaturity gravitates to the false promise

of absolute power that negativity extends.

There is no such thing in your world

as absolute power, even in limited form.

 

Look within yourselves

as to where the satisfaction of an Armageddon

might be lurking.

 

The inappropriateness of such destruction

is self-evident to everyone on your planet.

Why, then, do you suppose

it would be less obviously inappropriate

to the All-Seeing Consciousness of Love?

 

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

But yes, there will come a time—

science is quite right—

when your planet will dissolve.

Not in your lifetimes.

But when you have all completed the schooling

the earth can go Home.

It will return to Light.

 

 

 

 

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos Part 8. Mastery Newsletter Update March 14 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.

 

Some wisdom from the book:

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

…there is no one in human existence

who is not your soul mate.

 

Strangers on the other side of the world,

at the roots of their being,

are one with you and you with them.

If only this realization

could be fostered throughout your planet,

there would never be another war,

there would never be another clash

of harmful, destructive nature

anywhere.

 

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

Because love

is the most powerful force in the universe

it is also the most frightening

until it has been entered into completely.

That generally happens at the finishing point

of the final life.

 

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

The only gift that anyone has to give

is the self.

Even when you are dead,

you are still alive.

You do not cease to exist at death.

That is only illusion.

You go through the doorway of death alive

and there is no altering of the consciousness.

It is not a strange land you go to

but a land of living reality

where the growth process is a continuation.

 

^^^^^^

 

Dying is self-regulating.

It is of Divine origin.

It is absolutely safe.

The fear of death

is the fear of letting go.

 

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

There is no punishment in God.

There is only eternal love and understanding.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

Why does someone die when they are very young?

 

Because they have completed their task.

There is no other reason.

Young?

You are eternal.

Once you escape from the space-time continuum,

the “young”

becomes a very old soul.

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

 

“Emmanuel’s Book “is a manual for doing just that.

 

Some wisdom from the book:

 

 

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

Illness is a teaching,

a message from the soul.

When the lessons are learned

the illness becomes

a thing of no moment.

 

^^^^^^^

Illness exists first

in the non-physical realm

of spiritual need,

emotional confusion,

or mental aberration.

It is never primarily physical.

The body is the reactor,

it vibrates to stress

and is an outward manifestation

of inner turmoil.

 

^^^^^^^^^^

There is nothing to fear in the universe.

Nothing.

 

 

Your “Olive Oil” May Be Poisoning You. Mastery Newsletter March 5, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

 Dedicated to Health, Wealth and Fr~eedom

Your “Olive Oil” May Be Poisoning You…

 

Most “Extra Virgin” Olive Oil is Not Even Olive Oil

 

 

You buy “extra virgin” olive oil because you believe it’s healthy.

 

69% of the time, you could be buying something else.

 

Something that is “rancid, fusty and musty.”

 

Something that could be mostly soybean oil or peanut oil or canola oil or sunflower oil or any of a number of other cheaper oils.

 

In the well researched book Extra Virginity, The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller points out that 69% of olive oil that is labeled “extra virgin” is not olive oil at all.

 

69% of Olive Oils Had…Flaws

 

“A recent survey of supermarket extra virgins performed by the UC Davis Olive Center, in cooperation with the Australian Oil Research Laboratory, revealed that 69 percent of oils tested had taste flaws such as rancid, fusty, and musty, which meant that they weren’t extra virgin oils at all, and had been mislabeled…similar findings were reached by Andreas Maerz in Germany, by CHOICE magazine in Australia, by the regional government of Andalucia, and by documentaries in Swiss and German television about extra virgin quality in those countries…Paul Vossen, a University of California oil specialist (says)…’I would say very seldom do we ever find one that passes as extra virgin…price is by no means an indicator of quality…The high-ticket items can be equally bad.’…

 

Market Awash in Counterfeit Oils

 

Mike Bradley concludes that ‘the market is awash in counterfeit olive oil to the point that most legitimate sellers have given up trying to sell the real thing to wholesale suppliers or restaurants. It is rare to find authentic extra virgin olive oil…even in fine restaurants that ought to know better. It’s nearly impossible in some localities…’”

 

More Money in Adulterating Olive Oil Than (there was) in Bootlegging

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“there is more profit in adulterating olive oil than there is in bootlegging. The practice of adulterating this oil has grown until it has become a menace to the honest importers in the trade.” –US Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland speaking in 1922, two years into prohibition.

 

 

Systematic Corruption of the Olive Oil Market Continues to This Day

 

Over a number of years, Mueller’s research for the book took him all over the olive oil world, to Italy, Spain, Greece, and to the new world producers in California, South America and Australia.

 

What he found was a systematically corrupt network of growers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers that has made the term “extra virgin” useless. Even the term “organic” is no guarantee that you and I are getting the real deal.

 

Good News: Healthy Olive Oil IS Available

 

There is a strong and vibrant movement underway of growers and retailers who care about the quality of the olive oil they produce and sell.

 

It IS possible to buy real olive oil and receive the anti oxidant and anti inflammatory qualities olive oil is recognized for.

 

The Bad News: Good Olive Oil Stings

 

“If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol.” (my bolding) If you are used to bland olive oils, the real deal may take some getting used to. The substances that give rise to the health benefits make olive oil bitter and sting at the back of the throat. If it stings to the point of coughing, even better.

 

More Good News: The Health Benefits are Awesome

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“ ‘A low incidence of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and certain kinds of cancer (my bolding)—these are among the central benefits attributed to the Mediterranean diet,’ says Gary Beauchamp. ‘Since the 1950s, people have accepted that olive oil, the main source of fat in this diet, is the keystone of the dietary regime.’ Some of olive oil’s positive effects stem from its monounsaturated fat profile, but, more and more, medical research suggests that the polyphenols and the other ‘minor components’ of olive oil, which constitute a scant 2 percent of its volume, are the main source of oil’s health benefits. These same substances give a high-quality olive oil its pepperiness, bitterness, and other prized sensory properties; in fact, the oil’s healthful benefits are directly proportional to the strength of its flavors, aromas, and other sensory characteristics. If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol. if it isn’t bitter, it’s low in tocopherol and squalene. If it isn’t velvety in texture, then it’s missing hydroxytyrosol.”

 

Sources for the Good Stuff and Not All is Expensive!

 

Tom Mueller’s site has sources: http://extravirginity.com/2012/09/toms-supermarket-picks-quality-oils-good-prices

As mentioned above, there are likely to be many more good supermarket oils not included in this list. Please suggest some, and I’ll try them out as soon as I can.”

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

Disappointment AND Excitement

 

Corruption of the olive oil market is disappointing. I felt like the carpet was being pulled from under me as I read Mueller’s book. At the same time, it is inspiring to hear of the many producers whose hearts are in the right place. It means that you and I, armed with this new information, can go out and get the real stuff. We can throw out the old and start getting some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.

 

Olive Oil is Anti-Inflammatory AND Anti-Oxidant

 

As you may know, inflammation is said to be at the root of all dis-ease. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory.

 

The “bad cholesterol” is only bad if it is oxidized. (My doctor, James Houston here in Victoria, agreed with me when I told him that). Olive oil, the real deal good stuff, is an anti-oxidant,

 

So good olive oil may protect against all dis-ease and against the effects of the ‘bad’ cholesterol.

 

Your Mission Should You Decide to Accept

 

If your current olive oil doesn’t have that pepperiness at the back of the throat, it doesn’t have the oleocanthol.

 

If your current olive oil isn’t bitter, it’s low in other healthy ingredients, namely tocopherol and squalene.

 

And if it isn’t velvety in texture, that indicates there is no hydroxytyrosol in the oil.

 

And if it has none of those, it may not be olive oil at all but any of a number of unhealthy and damaging vegetable oils.

 

Is it time to throw it out then and find a source for the real stuff?

 

I will leave it to your good judgement.

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

 

Matti Anttila

P.S. Good olive oil is “worth its weight in gold” as the saying goes. In my opinion, it is far more worthy than gold. Good health and great energy far outweigh material riches. You can always make money IF you have your health and your energy. But if you don’t have your health, money means nothing.

 

Therefore, I choose to pay the price for the real stuff. You wouldn’t put 50 octane gasoline into your car. Why would you put “50 octane or less” fuel into your body? Throw out the old stuff and get the real deal. You and your body deserve it.

 

If you are in Victoria, a great source is “Olive the Senses.” http://olivethesenses.com  They are in The Hudson at 1701 Douglas Street. 250.882.4210.

 

Also: Save On Foods carries O-Live brand. Last price check $14.99 for a litre.

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos part 5 Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.

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

Some wisdom from the book:

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

Joy is the God within you

standing up.

Shaking himself off.

And beginning to smile.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

In your joy

you are celebrating God.

You are celebrating the feast of life.

 

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

You can create for yourself

a garden of bliss

if you believe in it.

And you can create for yourself

intolerable suffering

if you believe

that it is necessary.

 

^^^^^^^^

Celebrate your life.

Bring pleasure into it whenever you can.

And see that pleasure as truth

not as some secret sin.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

The entire world is an illusion

spinning nicely through space

even though it does wobble a bit.

You accept the illusion

because you’re good students

and you promised to come and to learn.

You promised to remain here in the illusion,

believing the illusion,

until what you have come to accomplish

has been done.

Then you can release it.

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos part 4

 

Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.

 

Some wisdom from the book:

 

 

Meditation is a path

that will help you release

the treasures of self-love

that rest deep within you.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

You experience as you believe.

The very world in which you exist,

the positive and the negative alike,

is a product of what you hold to be true.

 

^^^^^^^^^^

Fear is a fungus

that grows rapidly in the dark places

of the consciousness.

It is the most powerful of doors

that closes off the Word

and the Light of God.

 

Fear

is the dragon at the gate.

It is the denial of Light

and denial of Light

is resistance to god.

It is the falsehood that separates you

from God.

 

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

You can allay fear

through prayer, through meditation,

through clear thinking.

 

^^^^^^^

Fear

is only looking in the mirror

and making faces

at oneself.

 

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos. Part 3 Mastery Newsletter Update

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos. Part 3. Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.

Some wisdom from the book:

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

You will not exhaust

the love in the universe

if you were to absorb it

from now until the end of time

 

Love is all that exists.

 

Love is the universal communication.

it is the energy that has created the

universe and is keeping it going.

God is love.

All matter is formed by love.

There is an organic love

that speaks to everyone

if they could but hear.

A leaf holds together

for love.

 

 

^^^^^^^

True self love is not ego.

True love is great humility.

Love and compassion for others

cannot exist

until there is a goodly supply for self.

How can you feel the love of god

if you do not love yourself?

Are they not one and the same thing?

 

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

Every religion at its roots

has been inspired by God

and then has been seized by the intellect

and limited, distorted and many time

all but destroyed.

 

^^^^^^^^

 

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos Part 2. Mastery Newsletter Update Feb 5. 2014

Living Comfortably in the Cosmos Part 2

Emmanuel’s Book is a manual for doing just that.  Some wisdom from the book:

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

The heart is an unerring compass

within each one of you.

The heart knows the soul

better than the mind does.

Unless your mind is in the service

of the heart

it becomes a warped and twisted master.

 

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

Surrender can be proclaimed as the most selfish act

because it leads to total fulfillment.

 

^^^^^^^^

The final lesson for each soul

is the total surrender to the will of God

manifested in your own heart.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

One does not have to stand against the gale

One yields and becomes part of the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

How to Make Stress Your Friend and Increase Your Chances of Living a Healthy Life into Your 90s. Mastery Newsletter Feb 1, 2014

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

 Dedicated to Health, Wealth and Fr~eedom

How to Make Stress Your Friend and Increase Your Chances of Living a Healthy Life into Your 90s.

 

We have been told (over and over again) that stress is harmful. We hear constantly about how stress is a killer.

 

We are advised to reduce stress through meditation, yoga, guided relaxations and so on.

 

But what if stress can be harnessed for good…for our benefit?

 

Is it as simple as changing our belief about stress?

 

What if we “reframe” stress?

 

What if, instead of believing that stress is our enemy, out to harm us, we embrace stress as a friend who is plugging us into more life energy?

 

Can that make a difference?

 

In a TED talk, psychologist Kelly McGonigal quotes a US study that tracked 39 adults over eight years. They asked them about their level of stress. They also asked them if they believed that stress was harmful to their hearts!

 

The study showed people who experienced a lot of stress had a 43% increased risk of dying.

 

But…that was only true if people also believed that stress is harmful to their health.

 

McGonigal estimates that 182,000 people died because they believed stress is harmful to them. If she is correct in her estimate that means that more people died as a result of believing stress is bad for them than died of skin cancer, HIV/AIDS and homicide!

 

A Harvard University study encouraged participants in a stress study to view stress as a friend, energizing their bodies to meet the challenge in front of them.

 

The result? The participants were less anxious and more confident!

 

But the real surprise was their bodies’ physiological response. Stress can constrict the arteries. This is one of the reasons stress is associated with cardiovascular disease.

 

In this study, when the participants viewed stress as positive, their blood vessels stayed relaxed and open and did not constrict!

 

McGonigal contends that this one biological change may make the difference between dying of a stress-induced heart attack at age 50 and living well into your 90s.

 

Whew! and Wow!

 

I have been leading Laughter Yoga sessions for years now and referring its benefits in reducing stress. And I will continue to extol the benefits of laughter. However, this information can be wonderfully life affirming.

 

So, how do we put this to use in real life?

 

McGonigal tells us it is this simple: When we are in a stressful situation, when we find our hearts pounding, our breathing increasing and so on, we simply remember this article and this TED talk.

 

We think to ourselves: “This is my body rising to the challenge.”

 

When you view stress that way, your body believes you and your stress response becomes healthier.

 

There is more. I encourage you to watch the 14 minute video here to get the other benefits: http://tinyurl.com/lfvlogo

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.
