Global Warming Worse Than Terrorism? Mastery Newsletter March 9, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on March 8, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

The Biggest Scam in History?

“Climate Change” May be One of the Biggest Transfers of Wealth Ever

– Climate Change Alarmists create fear so they can manipulate the population

– The goal is the collapse of industrialized society

– IPCC members know there is no warming

– IPCC manipulates the data to prove their theory

– Weather forecasters can’t accurately predict next week’s weather so how can we believe computer models that claim to know what climate will be like decades from now?

– Modeling climate is impossible

– IPCC projections have all been wrong. We have cooling, not warming

– IPCC process is useless

– There are dangers and high costs to policies based on IPCC faulty science

Is it Joseph Goebbel’s “Big Lie” technique at work? You will remember Goebbel’s was Adolph Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda in the Nazi government of Germany in the thirties and during World War Two.

The Big Lie technique goes like this: Tell a big enough lie loudly enough and often enough and most people will believe it.

The Global Warming Alarmists seem to fit that bill. Here is the game (and ’twas ever thus):

Create fear and you can manipulate public opinion to whatever end you want.

It is how and why the controllers start wars. War is a huge transfer of money from taxpayers (people) to the arms manufacturers (the controllers).

Create fear about Global Warming and you can also transfer money from people (taxpayers) to the controllers who set themselves up to receive grants, subsidies and contracts to battle this illusion of Global Warming.

Goal: Collapse Industrialized Society.

“If you don’t learn the lessons of history, you are bound to repeat the mistakes of history.”

Maurice Strong, a Canadian who created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC), did so in order to collapse industrialized society. That appears to be the ultimate goal of the Climate Change Alarmists. Strong said this: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilization collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

He is quoted in Dr. Tim Ball’s book The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science. Ball goes on to say: “How do you cause industrialized society to collapse? You cut off their energy supply. Fossil fuels drive the industrialized economies and CO2 is a byproduct. Show it is causing irreparable damage and you can demand alternative energy replacements.”

Ball points out that the IPCC, a United Nations organization, was created with the mandate to prove that Global Warming is caused by humans. Ball outlines how the IPCC members have used unscientific methods.

The scientific method, you will recall, is to prove something that other scientists can then replicate.

IPCC Members Know There is no Global Warming?

Ball contends that from the leaked emails, IPCC members knew and know that Global Warming does not exist and is not caused by humans. Their emails among themselves indicate they are fully aware but have conspired to create the fiction.

Ball: “CO2 is not causing warming of climate change. There is no scientific need to replace fossil fuels.” He goes on to say all the alternate sources are more expensive, quoting a US Senate report.

Peer Review Process Corrupted

Part of what distinguishes science is the vetting of scientists work by other scientists. A review by your peers. “Dr. Frederick Seitz…wrote in a reference to the 1995 report (The second IPCC report) ‘I have never before witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.'”

“Meanwhile the IPCC violated many scientific principles. As Green and Armstrong note:…’…We have been unable to identify any scientific forecasts of global warming. Claims that the earth will get warmer have no more credence than saying it will get colder.'”

They Can’t Predict Weather Accurately for the next Week, How Can They Forecast it For the Next Century?

Climate is not different from weather. It is just the average of weather. Don’t you and I already know how difficult it is to forecast the weather? How many times have you joked with your friends about how the weather forecasters got it wrong? And the IPCC wants us to believe they have a crystal ball that tells us where we will be in 50 years or more? Hmph.

The IPCC Models Themselves Don’t Agree With Each Other?

Ball: “The IPCC takes the average results of some 22 computers and average them to produce an ensemble result. As Robert Brown, physicist at Duke University notes: ‘First–and this is a point stunningly ignored– there are a lot of different models out there, all supposedly built on top of physics, and yet no two of them give anywhere near the same results!'”

“MIT meteorology professor and former IPCC member Richard Lindzen summarized the process: ‘It uses summaries to misrepresent what scientists say; uses language that means different things to scientists and laymen; exploits public ignorance over quantitative matters; exploits what scientists can agree on while ignoring disagreements to support the global warming agenda; and exaggerates scientific accuracy and certainty and the authority of undistinguished scientists.”

Global Warming is Worse Than Terrorism -Sir David King

Second President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus in his book Blue Planet in Green Shackles, summarizes the problem:

“Future problems will not come from the same source. The ideology will be different. Its essence will nevertheless be identical: the attractive, pathetic, at first sight noble idea that transcends the individual in the name of the common good, and the enormous self-confidence on the side of its proponents about their right to sacrifice the man and his freedom in order to make this idea reality. What I have in mind was, of course, environmentalism and its present stronger version, climate alarmism.

There is no scientific justification for any energy or economic policies designed to reduce greenhouse gases or stop warming or climate change. CO2 from human or natural causes is not causing global warming or climate change. Beliefs that it is are solely the product of the IPCC and their computer models, an agency and approach set up to mislead the world. Yes, as Sir David King said: global warming is worse than terrorism.”

Imaginary Hobgoblins

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” -H. L. Mencken.

Does Global Warming Alarmism fit the bill?

Modeling Global Climate Impossible?

“The science is settled” is a phrase often used by the Alarmists. Well, first science is NEVER “settled.” Time after time, what we were told was true, turned out to be false. The sun circles the earth. The earth is flat. Science is uncovering new information all the time that reverses previous theories. So to say the “science is settled” is just silly. It appears to be a cynical tactic to shut down debate.

Ball: “I knew modeling global climate change was impossible; apart from the inadequate surface and upper atmosphere database, computer capacity was and is still inadequate. At conference after conference, I watched modelers bully everybody. Models are the most corrupt part of the CRU and IPCC fiasco, an exposure yet to emerge. They produced ridiculous ‘scenarios’ used to promote control through fear.”

“Wikipedia: The Missionary Wing of the Global Warming Movement.”

William Connolley of the CRU (Climate Research Unit) established himself as an editor at Wikipedia, according to Ball: “…he controlled all entries related to climate, climate change and the people involved. This included putting up false material about skeptics..”

Lawrence Solomon describes the activities: “All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5, 428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn’t like the subject of a certain article, he removed it–more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of arguments others were making, he often had them barred–over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia’s blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement.”

Name Calling Tactic: Call Skeptics “Deniers”

That lumps skeptics in the same boat at Holocaust Deniers.

IPCC Process “Useless”

Ball: “Some, such as Richard Lindzen, Alfred P Sloan professor of meteorology at MIT, participated–hoping to have reasonable scientific input but eventually gave up. There’s little doubt, Lindzen said, that the IPCC process has become politicized to the point of uselessness.”

“Every Single Climate Prediction (Projection) the IPCC Made Had Been Wrong” -Tim Ball

“Use of circular arguments is standard operating procedure for the IPCC. For example, they assume CO2 increase causes a temperature increase. They then create a model with that assumption and when the model output shows a temperature increase with a CO2 increase, they claim it proves their assumption.”

A Children’s Exercise

“…Richard Lindzen (said)..the 2001 IPCC Report ‘was very much a children’s exercise of what might possibly happen’ prepared by a ‘peculiar group’ with ‘no technical competence.’ Maybe, but it achieved their political objective of isolating and demonizing CO2.”

The Big Lie

“All this was inspired by the principle–which is quite true in itself–that in the big lie, there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily.” -Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

Dangers of the Global Warming Lie

Ball: “The sad truth is none of the energy and economic policies triggered by the demonization of CO2 were necessary. The price paid even to date is incalculable and it will go on costing for too many people, especially scientists and governments, who built their entire careers around the falsehoods…

Because they applied politics to science they perverted the scientific method by proving their hypothesis to predetermine the result. They bullied, marginalized, and silenced skeptics for a while, but natural events contradicted their predictions…There are two major dangers of what was done.

1. The credibility of science, especially climatology will suffer badly.

2. Environmental issues will suffer because people will say you lied to us before why should we believe you now.”

Footnote

One of the ways the Alarmists dismiss Skeptics is to attack personalities, rather than the issues. They know they can’t win the debate on issues, so they focus on trying to find dirt on the messengers. Watch for that.

Funtimes.

Laughter Yoga Leader: The New You?

Announcing: Laughter Yoga Leader Training and Zen of Joy Boot Camp

Coming up: Weekend of March 12 and 13. Details:

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

Massage Inexpensive and Good

Regular massage can get expensive. Even though we may know it is healing, we can shy away because of the expense.

Solution: West Coast School of Massage on Broughton Street in Victoria.

I went and the student I had was quickly able to narrow in on specific muscles that were tight that I did not even know about. Going back in two weeks.

They are a school, so cost is quite reasonable. $33.50. And they reduce that if you bring 3 cans for the food bank. http://collegeofmassage.com/victoria/

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

I Have More Humility Than You Do 🙂

The director has me in her office and hands me the feedback sheets from participants at their intro sessions.

I wowed them with my 15 minute talk about Laughter Yoga. After all, I used my Toastmasters experience to craft a wonderful, engaging, informative and interactive session.

Or so I thought… http://joyenergyandhealth.com/2016/03/02/i-have-more-humility-than-you-do-mastery-newsletter-march-2-2016/

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

Confidence

Because All of Us Deserve to Feel Confident

That’s what Toastmasters offers.

I joined a couple of years ago and now they have me mentoring. I feel more like a mentor, but then we teach what we need to learn.

My mentee has done 3 talks now, so they gave me a certificate. Go figure.

Joy is getting popular

The “Authentic Joy” video is being downloaded about once a day on average now. I wish I could figure out why. It’s been up there for years.

Maybe it’s all the social media. I hang out in Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and LinkenIn even. Daily, for the most part. Maybe it takes years to get noticed.

I am not complaining. What you can do is laugh along with me on the video. It’s certainly fun. Also comes with my 108 Tips for More Joy, Energy and Health weekly e-course.

I Have More Humility Than You Do :-) Mastery Newsletter March 2, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on March 2, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

The director has me in her office and hands me the feedback sheets from participants at their intro sessions.

I thought I wowed them with my 15 minute talk about Laughter Yoga. After all, I used my Toastmasters experience to craft a wonderful, engaging, informative and interactive session.

Or so I thought.

As a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, I hold monthly “Laughter Wellness” sessions for InspireHealth

http://www.inspirehealth.ca/. They are a wonderful organization supporting those who face a cancer diagnosis.

My talk was intended to excite them about attending these sessions.

The first feedback form from one participant gave me a 5 out of 5. Great.

Then there were some 4s and 3s, even 1 out of 5. One comment said out of all the presenters, I was the worst and fell flat.

Oh dear, what did I do wrong? I had put many hours into preparing and practicing my talk.

On reflection, I had let my ego run away with me. I was trying too hard to wow them with my knowledge.

Had I simply done the normal Laughter Yoga session with a little more explanation thrown in between the laughter exercises, the result would likely have been far better.

Gulp. A dose of humility for your humble scribe. It is just so easy to get carried away by ego and not even realize it.

So there. Now I have more humility than you do. Ha ha.

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

FINAL WORD:

Can Laughter Save Your Life? Laughter Yoga Dude Merv Neal from OZ says it did save his.

Merv Neal is a Laughter Yoga Dude from Australia. Super guy. I Met him at the All America Laughter Yoga Conference in 2014. Here is his story in a short documentary.

“Running his own small business at the age of 12, it’s no surprise Merv Neal became a millionaire at 40. Despite midlife financial success, Neal found himself bankrupt in the health department – given one week to live by doctors. For most, nihilistic despair would become the reasonable reaction to such life altering news, not for Merv though – he decided to laugh, and is convinced it saved his life.” http://plgrm.com.au/the-laughing-man

What is your cost?

First, you will need to invest a weekend. We are talking about changing the habits of a lifetime. You can’t do that in one hour. What you can do in one weekend is familiarize yourself with the simple tools and techniques to insert new and powerful habits in place of habits that may not be serving you anymore.

Your second investment is $397. You will pay more for a flat screen TV. The purchase of a TV will give you a thrill that many think of as happiness. But how long does it last until it becomes “just part of the furniture?”

In fact, our consumer society has us chasing all kinds of things to buy that are supposed to make us happy. How much is the “latte habit” costing you? I don’t buy them so I am guessing they run $4.00. Multiply by 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year and you are spending $1040 a year on something that promises happiness. We know that there is zero nutritional value in a latte, yet we justify it with something like this: “It’s my little treat. I work hard, with my nose to the grindstone and it helps me get through the day.”

Instead, why not create a life that is blissful, joyous and happy. That way, we can throw out our crutches, one by one.

Tell me: How much money can we save each and every year if we did not need to buy “stuff’ to make ourselves feel good?

“Shop till you drop” seems to be the mantra to chase after that good feeling.

How about just turning on the “Joy Key” whenever you want and saving hundreds on each shopping trip? Doesn’t that sound like a better strategy?

Look, there is nothing wrong with having “stuff.” In fact, you deserve to have pleasant surroundings. AND, this is one of the great secrets of the Universe:

It’s Easier To Be Successful And Get The “Stuff” You Want When You’re Happy First!

About your instructor:

Matti Anttila CLYT (Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher)is the author of “The Zen of Joy” and “108 Tips for More Joy, Energy and Health.”

Background:

“Life is a grand adventure or it’s nothing.” -Helen Keller

Long before I read that quote, I decided not to go a traditional route.

Working hard to age 65, retiring exhausted and then dying shortly thereafter was not an appealing career path.

Thus, I pursued a number of opportunities as they came up: Promoting rock and roll performances, driving taxi, Disc Jockey, radio reporter and talk show host.

I have owned a bakery and restaurant, been a financial planner, baby photographer and most recently a consultant.

My most passionate interest is in health, fitness, longevity and human potential.

It seems many of us humans only realize a small portion of our full potential.

Hence, Laughter Yoga, which can help to free us of many of the blocks to creativity and our potential.

Studies: Judo, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, meditation, massage, dancing, Ashtanga Yoga, herbology, VitaFlex, Aikido, Rebirthing, Reiki, singing, Tai Chi, Qigong, natural healing, 4 Minute Fitness, Laughter Yoga, Hot Yoga, The Presence Process, Ho’Oponopono and Huna.

What Laughter Yoga Leaders said about Matti’s Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders training:

“Awesome, fun, energetic. All the happy things that go with laughter.” – Gina Davis. Victoria, BC.

“Great energy. Useful repetition. Small group helpful. A truly unique and enriching experience.” -Jeremy Bally, Victoria, BC.

“Made me feel +++ alive. Team building. Creates ++ inner power. Rejuvenating +++.” -Taryn Andersen, Victoria, BC.

“I have been inspired by Matti to start a laugh Yoga club and continue spreading laughter & love through the world. Love, Tickles.”

-Jennifer Burke, aka “Tickles, the Clown.” Victoria, BC, Canada.

“This was a great & magnificent weekend. I’m sad the weekend went by so quickly.

Matti has inspired me to start my own laughter club so I may spread laughter and the joy of being.

Thanks again for an unforgettable weekend! Laughingly yours,

Natalia” – Natalia Burns, Victoria, BC, Canada

What Laughter Yoga Participants said about Matti as a Laughter Leader:

“It was a wonderful experience! I loved it!” – Barb Davis, Calgary, Alberta.

“Laughter Yoga is an immeasurable avenue of emotional release.” – Elizabeth, Duncan, BC.

“A lot of times we are so concerned about how we look or how others perceive us but in laughter yoga you laugh off your inhibitions and relax. At first I was apprehensive but soon I was laughing away.” -Kaitlyn Lande. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“I found the best way for me to laugh hard was listen to other people genuinely laughing, and so a group of people laughing was the best place for me to laugh! Thank you.” – Duncan Brown. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“I heard of Laugh Yoga before. I always say it was silly. But when I actually did it I found out it is really good for you. I didn’t really expect that if had that kind of reaction to me. It was awesome.” – Rey Hermoso. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“Laughter Yoga has affirmed by belief that laughter can heal; it is a comfort to the soul and can change your world if you choose to look at with different eyes and engage your innate sense of humour. It has inspired me to try laughing at my most trying moments.” -Lindsay Korns. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“Laughter Yoga has inspired me to try and laugh more after daily situations that may normally make me feel frustrated. After the session I felt rejuvenated, light, content, balanced and at peace with myself. I hope to remember this experience and use what I learned to increase my general level of happiness. – Katie Thompson. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“This experience made me feel so connected to my body and emotions as well as all the people around me. I felt energized, joyful, and positive at the end of the session. I would love to do this again! –Michelle Leach. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“After one session of Laughter Yoga I felt grounded, inspired and emotionally at ease. Everyone should take the time to laugh and there are few better ways to do so than with Laughter Yoga.” -Dave Hall. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

“Hahaha! Laughter Yoga is wild energy full of many emotions! I’ve never really experienced yoga to this degree of connectedness with my community. I felt very balanced and happy, my spirits were flying, my soul was at peace, and my belly hurt with happy pains. Thank you for sharing laughs, smiles.” –Navi Bhatti. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan. P.S. I’m also interested in the leader training.

Laughter Yoga Leader Training and Zen of Joy Boot Camp

Victoria, BC

A Note re the “cost” of Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training.

Your investment is $397. Be an “early bird.” $50 discount if registered by March 12th, 2016.

Should you choose to pursue Laughter Yoga as a part time business, You may soon recover that.

Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders will often have a non profit club. In my club, I tell participants that Laughter Yoga is free or by donation. There is no requirement to pay as we don’t want anyone to stay away because of financial concerns.

I also say the suggested donation is $5 to $15. I average about $7 per person as a result.

Last week, $70 in donations were made.

And that is just the donation non profit side of Laughter Yoga.

If you go out and get paid engagements, that is a different story.

My corporate rate is $550.00 an hour and the non profit rate is $180.00 an hour. These rates are negotiable, of course, but it is always wise to start the negotiations at a decent rate for yourself.

Even if you do a few non profits, they will often have SOMETHING in the kitty for speakers. I have done session for free (rarely) and as a little as $90. More often it is the $180 rate.

Once, I did 3 one hour session in one day for an educational institution at $250 for each session. That was a $750.00 day.

So, what is called a “cost,” is really an investment in your future. An investment that can pay high dividends.

I used to be a financial advisor. If you have a financial investment, a decent dividend is 3-5%, somewhat higher for riskier situations. On $397, that would be $11.91 to $19.85 per year.

With a Certified Laughter Yoga designation and an entrepreneurial approach, you can choose to create an ongoing business that can produce hundreds of percent return on your initial outlay.

Look forward to meeting you soon.

Love and Laughter, Matti

This Myth Can be Dangerous to Your Health. Mastery Newsletter February 22, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on February 22, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

The Myth That You Don’t Need Supplements

This Documentary can be viewed online, without cost, but only until February 26th.

I viewed it last night. It is very good and may well help to increase your joy, energy and health.

I believe when we open up to our potential the world changes, dramatically and for the better. We can experience more joy, abundant energy and vibrant health and strength.

Enjoy the viewing.

First, some words from Dr. Mercola:

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

“That Vitamin Movie,” created by award-winning producer and director Michael Beattie, features a long list of vitamin experts and health professionals in the complementary medicine field — including yours truly — discussing the healing potential of vitamins.

Beattie was inspired to make this film after Trevor, a close friend of three decades, told him he’d turned his life around; finally getting a handle on the depression that had plagued him. Removing sugar from his diet was the first step. Taking niacin (vitamin B3), was the second.

This tip was something Trevor had gleaned from watching the film, “Food Matters,” in which Andrew Saul, Ph.D. talks about the usefulness of niacin in the treatment of depression.

His curiosity peaked, Beattie then heard about cases of people being brought back from the brink of death with the use of high-dose vitamin C, and how many chronic diseases appear to be outgrowths of various nutrient deficiencies.

But if vitamins are so effective for treating disease, including mental disorders like depression, why aren’t doctors prescribing them instead of drugs? Together with Trevor, Beattie set out to investigate the truth of the matter. -Dr. Mercola

How Much Hidden Potential Are We Missing Out On? Mastery Newsletter February 24, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on February 17, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

How About Fighting Off Almost All Diseases With Your Mind?

Staying warm in shorts in sub zero weather?

– The “Iceman” can sit in ice and keep his skin temperature constant

– This skill may prevent most diseases

– This evolutionary potential is in every human body

– We may have to rewrite the medical texts

The “Iceman”

That’s the nickname given to Wim Hof for his daredevil feats with cold

He has:

– Run a marathon barefoot and in shorts in minus 20 degrees Celsius,

– Climbed part way up Mount Everest wearing only boots and shorts.

– Set a Guinness World Record for sitting in ice for one hour, 52 minutes and 42 seconds…while his core temperature stayed the same.

Sitting in a tank full of ice for 90 minutes

Core Temperature remains the same

From Wikipedia:

” On 19 April 2012, an episode of the US television program Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, featuring Hof, was broadcast.

Hof was tested against a member of the team named Austin, both sitting in a tank full of ice. Austin sat in the tank for about 20 minutes, with his surface body temperature falling to four degrees Celsius.

When he got out of the water, the other two team members used a heat camera to reveal that his surface body temperature was at about four degrees Celsius.

Hof’s core body temperature stayed the same for the entire twenty minutes, as did his heart rate. He managed to stay submerged for over ninety minutes.” (My bolding)

We all have his ability, according to Hof

He thinks he has stumbled on hidden evolutionary potential locked inside every human body. He is teaching others how to do what he does.

Documentary shows the training

Inside the Superhuman World of the Iceman

Will We Have to Rewrite the Medical Texts?

Not just about daredevil stunts. This is about rewriting the medical books about what our human potential really is.

“Almost all the diseases, we are able to learn to prevent them from developing inside the body. Because we are able to have a connection inside which goes far deeper than ever thought…everybody is able…to have power over his own system.” -Wim Hof

Love, Laughter and Smiles

A Great Secret to Happiness: Help Others. Mastery Newsletter February 17, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on February 12, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Here is a way to expand helping and create empowerment, joy and happiness in others…and yourself.

It has the added benefit of being inexpensive.

It is called Kiva, an organization that allows us in the developed world to make micro-loans to small scale entrepreneurs in many parts of the world.

You don’t actually give money away, you loan it and get repaid.

I have been doing this for a few years now. It feels good to know someone is lifting themselves up by their own bootstraps. All I do is provide some mini-capital to get their business moving.

They call it “Beyond Charity: Rethinking How We Give.”

Details here: https://www.kiva.org/about

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Learn more about how it works.

Since Kiva was founded in 2005:

1,387,615 Kiva lenders

$813,711,525 in loans

98.39% repayment rate

We work with:

303 Field Partners

450 volunteers around the world

84 different countries

Why we do what we do

We envision a world where all people – even in the most remote areas of the globe – hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others.

We believe providing safe, affordable access to capital to those in need helps people create better lives for themselves and their families.

How we do it

Making a loan on Kiva is so simple that you may not realize how much work goes on behind the scenes.

Kiva works with microfinance institutions on five continents to provide loans to people without access to traditional banking systems. One hundred percent of your loan is sent to these microfinance institutions, which we call Field Partners, who administer the loans in the field.

Kiva relies on a world wide network of over 450 volunteers who work with our Field Partners, edit and translate borrower stories, and ensure the smooth operation of countless other Kiva programs.

How we’re funded

100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes directly towards funding loans; Kiva does not take a cut. Furthermore, Kiva does not charge interest to our Field Partners, who administer the loans.

Kiva is primarily funded through the support of lenders making optional donations. We also raise funds through grants, corporate sponsors, and foundations.

We are incredibly thankful for the support that has enabled us to do the work that has touched the lives of so many people.

Learn more about our partnerships or make a donation.

How you can get involved

Love and laughter,

Matti

Do you need a “Health Coach?” Mastery Newsletter Feb. 10, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on February 8, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Life coaches are popular these days…seems there are many of them to choose from.

But what about a Health Coach?

-Naturopaths have all the training that your General Practitioner has and more on top of that.

-Toxic food like sugar can FEEL good because of the adrenaline the body produces when it recognizes a toxin entering the system.

-Even top athletes have coaches

-A naturopath, like a sport coach, can often see what we are too close to see ourselves.

I decided I needed one, so I interviewed a few naturopaths.

Now, I had some experience with naturopaths before. When I had NSU (Non Specific Urethritis) it was a naturopath who helped me.

NSU is an inflammation of the water works…the urethra. I had it for 7 years. The symptoms would pop up every year and every year I went to a doctor.

On the seventh time, I asked what is this thing that keeps coming back. The answer from my doctor at the time was: “We think it is one of 7 different viruses. We’re not sure. Just come back every year for your antibiotic.

Hmph.

That did not seem like any kind of long term solution to me. What? You don’t know what it is? Just resign myself to having it and getting antibiotics every year?

That’s when I went to see Dr. Kirkbride in Nanaimo. He gave me some electric heat treatment and a herbal tea to drink. He diagnosed it as a “touch of nephritis.” That is inflammation of the kidneys.

It took some weeks, but the symptoms went away AND NEVER CAME BACK!

This was an ah hah moment. So regular medical system doctors don’t know everything, eh? Interest.

This event initiated a multi-decade and life long study of the many aspects of health.

It’s been a wonderful journey, with lots of dead-ends along with lots more ah-hah moments. And always with more to learn.

And even more to unlearn. So much of what is thought of as common sense, often I have found the opposite to be true.

Here is one example and it is a tricky one to navigate.

Some times I hear someone say things like: I just pay attention to my body. It gives me feedback.

That seems to make sense, doesn’t it?

Here’s the problem. If we take in toxins, sometimes it feels good.

The process goes something like this. Sugar is a good example. White sugar is a pure chemical C12 H22 O11. Pure chemical, not a food.

The history of sugar as outlined in William Dufty’s landmark work SUGAR BLUES from the 1970s. One thousand years ago, Arab doctor would use sugar as the most powerful medicine of last resort. When all else failed to cure a disease, they would administer 2-3 GRAINS of sugar and the patient would rally.

2-3 grains!

How much do we consume now? Well it used to be around a hundred pounds a year per capita 100 years ago. With the advent of the Big Gulp, we are now around 150 pounds per person per year.

How many grains of this powerful drug are we taking? Make no mistake. It IS a drug and a very potent one.

There is lots of research showing its detrimental effects. I am sure you have seen some of that…including the obesity epidemic and the cancer epidemic…for cancer feeds of sugar.

We know that intellectually. We know sugar is no good for us, yet we continue to take it.

Number one…it is addictive because it lands in the same landing spots in the brain as heroin.

But…and this is the point of why we need to careful about “paying attention to my body…

When a foreign substance of any sort, like sugar, enters the body, the body, in its wisdom, recognizes it as a toxin and sends what are called macrophages to attach, encircle and eliminate it from the body.

So far, so good? Well yes, EXCEPT during the process of the creation of macrophages, the body also produces adrenalin!

And what does adrenalin do? Among other things it makes us feel good. We have energy coursing through our system. Of course we feel good.

So, we take in a toxin, our body’s macrophages attack the toxin, we get a shot of adrenalin and we feel good. So, we make the conclusion that the toxin is good for us.

Can you see how our mind can be tricked in this way?

This is where a health coach can come in and give us unbiased and researched information.

I, for one, know about this, yet have still been consuming too much sugar.

My new health coach is a naturopath, Dr. Kevin Jackson. He is giving me info that I may have on the fringes of my thoughts. He is holding it in front of my face and encouraging me to take action that will have long term health benefits.

Naturopaths, by the way, have gone through the same medical training as allopathic doctors. They have the same rigorous training for the same number of years. Then they study further to see how to use non-invasive agents and therapies to produce a more healthful, energetic and vibrant result for their clients, without the use of toxic drugs.

Look, even the best athletes have coaches. Tiger Woods has a coach.

Why would we not want to do the same? Our long term health is the beneficiary.

Smile, You May Save a Life. Mastery Newsletter January 27, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on January 27, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

There is a story about a man who decided to commit suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

He said to himself that is one person smiled at him on his way, he would change his mind. One person did and the man turned back.

Everyone has challenges in this life. We don’t know what burdens are being carried. Just a smile may brighten the life of that person walking toward you.

Do it for yourself first though.

One of the great secrets is that a smile creates endorphins, the feel good hormones.

We don’t have to have everything going well in our lives (when does it ever ALL go well?).

All we have to do is smile…the “duchesne” smile, where the corners of the eyes crinkle. That is enough to generate the feel good hormones and, guess what? We feel good.

The bonus, icing on the cake is that anyone who sees us may feel good as well. That is because of a phenomenon called “mirror neurons.”

When we see a smile, it brings up the same feeling in us and in the smiler.

Two reasons to smile:

1) It feels good, generates healing endorphins (yes, feel good hormones are healing) and

2) We might help ease someone else’s burden.

oh, and

3) You may get a smile back and that is a super bonus. Don’t expect it, but when it happens, it can warm the cockles of your heart.

The Real Cause of Alzheimers. Mastery Newsletter January 13, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on January 13, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Thanks to Ken Peters for this insightful article.

PART ONE: A New Theory of Alzheimer’s Disease

As the boomers (including me) age, it is estimated that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will ultimately affect one in four people. Currently there is considered to be no conventional medical cure for the condition, and even the current theory as to what causes it turns out to be debatable. Recently a friend (thanks Marten) sent me a link to a scientific study that could revolutionize how we look at Alzheimer’s disease, and ultimately how we can go about preventing and treating it.

Really Great Olive Oil, Really Cheap. Matti’s Victoria Newsletter January 8, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on January 8, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health

Neat Stuff For My Greater Victoria Friends, Fiends And Roustabouts.

This Month:

– Really Great Olive Oil, Really Cheap

– Really Great Cell Phone Service, Really Cheap

– Really Great Choir Concert this Month, and

– Really Great Yogurt from a Comox Provider

And, if I say so myself, that is a Really Great Lineup of Articles, so dive right in,

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

Really Great Olive Oil, Really Cheap

Hermes Brand Olive Oil at the Persian Deli at the SE corner of Quadra and Reynolds. (If you are heading up Quadra towards McKenzie, it is on the right and Reynolds is the street you turn right on, it is the last street before McKenzie. )

$25.99 for 3 litres. This kind of quality I have seen for $31.99 for half a litre. ($191.94 for 3 litres!)

The devil is in the details. You can’t compare this oil with other so called olive oils.

“So called” because reports now indicate most olive oils, even ones labeled “extra virgin” and/or “organic,” are not even olive oil or only contain tiny amounts of real olive oil.

CBS 60 Minutes reported on this last Sunday and my Mastery Newsletter has a report on it this week: details here:

Is YOUR Olive Oil Real…or is it Mafia Oil? Mastery Newsletter January 6, 2016

You can watch the 60 Minutes Expose on how the Mafia has infiltrated the olive oil business from farm to fork, as author Tom Mueller puts it.

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

If you have an event you want me to include, see the submission guidelines at the bottom

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

Really Great Cell Phone Service, Really Cheap

Public Mobile you won’t see advertised.

I was with PC Mobile from Superstore as it was the best I could find.

PC Mobile $39 a month:

500 minutes/month, unlimited international texting & 200MB Data

Public Mobile $30 a month

Unlimited BC wide calling, Canada wide texting, 333 MB Data.

Plus, I get $2 off per month for going on autopay.

Even though I have to pay about $100 to end my 2 year contract with PC Mobile, it still works out to a saving over the remainder of my contract.

(Calculations: PC Mobile $39 + BC taxes = $43.68/month

Public Mobile $28 + BC taxes = $31.36

Savings $12.32 a month x 12 months = $147.84 saving over next 12 months

Even paying out my PC Mobile contract, I save about $47 over the next 12 months and then $147.84 every year from then on)

A friend referred me to Public Mobile and he gets a referral fee of $1 off his monthly bill every month…as long as I stay with them.

Now, all I have to do is get 28 folks to sign up and my cell phone bill will be ZERO. Regardless $147.84 per year is $1,478.40 over the next decade.

Is It Worth It For You?

You would need to calculate it if you have expensive phone (mine is only $180) and you will have time on your contract.

If your contract is over, then you will save money.

By the way, you can pick and choose what you want in the way of services.

For example, if you add Canada wide calling it adds $16 a month to the bill.

But there is no need for that, as you can have free Canada and US calling with an app from Google Voice, inside your Gmail account.

If you add international texting it adds $6 a month.

For 1.3GB of data, it would cost you $40 a month ($38 if on autopay)

You can play with the options here: http://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans

Referral Reward

If you go for this, do let me know so I can get the referral fee.

Use my number when registering: 250-477-8608.

Postscript: CallingCards.ca is a great way to save huge amounts of money on international calls. (You don’t need it for Canada or the US as those calls are free with Google Voice.)

Example, calling to cell phones in Europe is ridiculously expensive. Skype charges 10 cents a minute to UK mobiles and 20.8 cents for Finland.

Calling Card.ca is 3 cents UK and 4.7 cents Finland. Similar savings across the board.

Really Great Choir Concert in January

Gettin’ Higher Choir in support of the Power of Hope

Is YOUR Olive Oil Real…or is it Mafia Oil? Mastery Newsletter January 6, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on January 6, 2016. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Often cheap seed oils like sunflower are used to make fraudulent olive oil.

Up to 75 to 80% of oil labeled as Extra Virgin in the U.S. is not the real thing.

The “Agro Mafia” is making many times the profit on fake olive oil than on cocaine.

You first heard about this in Mastery Newsletter in March of 2014.

Now, CBS 60 Minutes program has reported on this travesty.

Here is my Special Report on this. You can get the really good olive oil and it is not always expensive. See the end of the report for Victoria sources.

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

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!

Transcript for those without computers:

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

California Olive Ranch – good fresh extra virgin olive oil, mainly from the arbequina and arbosana cultivars, grown in super high density groves in northern California. Available at a wide range of stores throughout the US (see the store locator). Note that their Limited Reserve is the highest-quality oil, unfiltered and from olives picked during the first 2 weeks of harvest (reviewed here). “Everyday” is the company’s best-seller, with a flexible flavor profile. Arbequina, Arbosana, and Miller’s Blend oils, part of the company’s “gold medal series,” have actually won more medals in olive oil competitions than COR’s other oils, thanks to their distinct flavor profiles.

Cobram Estate – extra virgin olive oil from a range of cultivars, grown in Australia with the medium high density agronomic model, which has won olive oil competitions including best of show at the 2011 Los Angeles County Fair. Available here:
USA:
Cost Plus World Markets nationally
Raley’s and Save Mart in northern California
Fairway in New York
QFC and Haggen in Seattle
King Soopers in Denver
Canada:
IGA stores in Vancouver
Corto Olive – good, fresh super-high-density arbequina oil available at Costco (occasionally), HEB, Zabar’s under the Zabar’s label, Kroger as a specialty label called “Private Selection.” I profile Dino Cortopassi, founder of the company, in Extra Virginity.
Costco Kirkland Toscano – Kirkland is the Costco store brand. I’ve been disappointed by Kirkland Organic EVO (not to mention the “extra virgins” in multi-liter plastic jugs), but the Toscano signature oil is the real deal.
Lucini – a wide range of fine oils, led by the top-of-the-line Limited Reserve Premium Select oil. I quibble with the clear glass bottles, which impair the shelf life, but as long as the oil is fresh it’s first-rate, and is widely available across North America. See the store locator. Lucini Premium Select is their finest oil, made on a a single estate near Bolgheri, in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Their Estate Select oil is made from olives grown in various estates in central Italy; since it’s sourced from a wider group of farmers, it costs less.
Oleoestepa – just entering the US retail market, this Spanish cooperative produces excellent oils at competitive prices. Keep an eye out for their oils arriving in shelves near you soon!
O-Live – available at stores across Canada, and in selected US stores (including HEB in Texas). See the store locator (which sources tell me isn’t always 100% reliable).
Ottavioand Omaggio – in terms of value for money, I don’t know better oils than Ottavio and Omaggio: a fine balance of fruit, pungency, bitterness that will appeal to a wide audience, at rock-bottom prices. Ottavio is available at HEB and Central Market, and Omaggio is available at Sam’s Club. (Note: In the past, Valco Enterprises, producer of Ottavio, and Axiom Enterprises, producer of Omaggio, have both supported Truth in Olive Oil. Read here for what this means.)
Trader Joe’s– 3 out of the 6 extra virgin oils I tasted in August, 2013 were the real deal. One of these, the Premium 100% Greek Kalamata, was very fresh, spicy, complex at an extremely competitive price (1 liter for $8.99). The California Estate Olive Oil was also a good choice, while the Premium Extra Virgin was decent and defect-free, if a bit uninspiring. The 3 other Trader Joe’s “extra virgins” I tasted were defective. (See here for details.)
Whole Foods California 365 – The Whole Foods store brand from California is good-quality extra virgin olive oil at a great price. In my experience, the other members of the 365 lineup are poor – an odd situation from a company like Whole Foods that preaches quality über alles.

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
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.
Update November 2015: Hermes Brand available from the Persian deli on Quadra just down from McKenzie. Cost $25.99 for 3 litres. Have not had it tested, but it has the taste qualities that Mueller talks about. (Thanks to Gene)

Happiness Takes Effort. Misery, Not So Much. Mastery Newsletter December 30, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on December 30, 2015. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

“Remember, misery is comfortable. It’s why so many people prefer it. Happiness takes effort.”

That quote from a powerful article called:

Six harsh truths which will make you a better person

It IS tough reading. However, it seems as if it CAN make me a better person. Nails me to the wall, kinda.

See if you find yourself squirming while reading it. That’s probably a good sign.

These are the Six Points:

The world only cares about what it can get from you
The hippies were wrong
What you produce does not have to make money, but it does have to benefit people
You hate yourself because you don’t do anything
What you are inside only matters because of what it makes you do
Everything inside you will fight improvement

Main Lesson I got from this:

We need to be DOING something and that something needs to benefit others.

Great treasures and great joy flow from that. The more we benefit others, the more treasures and joy we will have.

Enjoy the uncomfortable read. 😉

In keeping with the point of the article, I wish you the energy, drive and enthusiasm to Create a Joyous 2016.

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

Matti

Santa is the patron saint of banking, pawnbroking, pirating, butchery, thievery and NYC. Mastery Newsletter December 22, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on December 22, 2015. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Merry Christmas (or if you are PC constrained, enter your favourite euphemism here).

Also bountiful joy, energy, health and a thrilling and adventurous 2016!!

Just for fun…some facts about Christmas. Enjoy.

50 Interesting Facts About Christmas

My faves:

* Santa is the patron saint of banking, pawnbroking, pirating, butchery, sailing, thievery, orphans, royalty, and New York City.^d

^*Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.^a

Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.^g
The Germans made the first artificial Christmas trees out of dyed goose feathers.^f
Each year more than 3 billion Christmas cards are sent in the U.S. alone.^f
All the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas would equal 364 gifts.^f
The “true love” mentioned in the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” does not refer to a romantic couple, but the Catholic Church’s code for God. The person who receives the gifts represents someone who has accepted that code. For example, the “partridge in a pear tree” represents Christ. The “two turtledoves” represent the Old and New Testaments.^c

A parasitic infection may be the cause of Rudolph’s red nose

Most of Santa’s reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Blitzen, Comet, and Cupid. However, male reindeers shed their antlers around Christmas, so the reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh are likely not male, but female or castrati.^g
In A.D. 350, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birthday of Christ.^c
According to the Guinness world records, the tallest Christmas tree ever cut was a 221-foot Douglas fir that was displayed in 1950 at the Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle, Washington.^e
The traditional three colors of Christmas are green, red, and gold. Green has long been a symbol of life and rebirth; red symbolizes the blood of Christ, and gold represents light as well as wealth and royalty.^c

Two weeks before Christmas is a popular time for couples to break up

According to data analyzed from Facebook posts, two weeks before Christmas is one of the two most popular times for couples to break up. However, Christmas Day is the least favorite day for breakups.ⁱ
Contrary to popular belief, suicide rates during the Christmas holiday are low. The highest rates are during the spring.^h
The world’s largest Christmas stocking measured 106 feet and 9 inches (32.56 m) long and 49 feet and 1 inch (14.97 m) wide. It weighed as much as five reindeer and held almost 1,000 presents. It was made by the Children’s Society in London on December 14, 2007.^e
Christmas trees have been sold in the U.S. since 1850.^b
Christmas trees usually grow for about 15 years before they are sold.^b
Many European countries believed that spirits, both good and evil, were active during the Twelve Days of Christmas. These spirits eventually evolved into Santa’s elves, especially under the influence of Clement C. Moore’s The Night Before Christmas (1779-1863) illustrated by Thomas Nast (1840-1902).^f
Each year there are approximately 20,000 “rent-a-Santas” across the United States. “Rent-a-Santas” usually undergo seasonal training on how to maintain a jolly attitude under pressure from the public. They also receive practical advice, such as not accepting money from parents while children are looking and avoiding garlic, onions, or beans for lunch.^f
Bolivians celebrate Misa del Gallo or “Mass of the Rooster” on Christmas Eve. Some people bring roosters to the midnight mass, a gesture that symbolizes the belief that a rooster was the first animal to announce the birth of Jesus.^f
The British wear paper crowns while they eat Christmas dinner. The crowns are stored in a tube called a “Christmas cracker.”^f
In Poland, spiders or spider webs are common Christmas trees decorations because according to legend, a spider wove a blanket for Baby Jesus. In fact, Polish people consider spiders to be symbols of goodness and prosperity at Christmas.^f
Alabama was the first state in the United States to officially recognize Christmas in 1836.^f

Oklahoma was the last state the declare Christmas a holiday

Christmas wasn’t declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.^c
Oklahoma was the last U.S. state to declare Christmas a legal holiday, in 1907.^f
Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.^a
Ancient peoples, such as the Druids, considered mistletoe sacred because it remains green and bears fruit during the winter when all other plants appear to die. Druids would cut the plant with golden sickles and never let it touch the ground. They thought it had the power to cure infertility and nervous diseases and to ward off evil.^a
Evergreens (from the Old English word aefie meaning “always” and gowan meaning “to grow”) have been symbols of eternal life and rebirth since ancient times. The pagan use and worship of evergreen boughs and trees has evolved into the Christianized Christmas tree.^a
Because they viewed Christmas as a decadent Catholic holiday, the Puritans in America banned all Christmas celebrations from 1659-1681 with a penalty of five shillings for each offense. Some Puritan leaders condemned those who favored Christmas as enemies of the Christian religion.^c
A Yule log is an enormous log that is typically burned during the Twelve Days of Christmas (December 25-January 6). Some scholars suggest that the word yule means “revolution” or “wheel,” which symbolizes the cyclical return of the sun. A burning log or its charred remains is said to offer health, fertility, and luck as well as the ability to ward off evil spirits.^d
Because of their pagan associations, both the holly (associated with the masculine principle) and the ivy (the feminine) and other green boughs in home decoration were banned by the sixth-century Christian Council of Braga.^a
The poinsettia is native to Mexico and was cultivated by the Aztecs, who called the plant Cuetlaxochitl (“flower which wilts”). For the Aztecs, the plant’s brilliant red color symbolized purity, and they often used it medicinally to reduce fever. Contrary to popular belief, the poinsettia is not poisonous, but holly berries are.^f
Christmas has its roots in pagan festivals such as Saturnalia (December 17-December 23), the Kalends (January 1 -5, the precursor to the Twelve Days of Christmas), and Deus Sol Invictus or Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun (December 25). The Christian church heartily disapproved of such celebrations and co-opted the pagans by declaring December 25 as Christ’s day of birth, though there is no evidence Christ was born on that day.^f

Santa Claus is based on a fourth-century bishop from modern-day Turkey

Santa Claus is based on a real person, St. Nikolas of Myra (also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker, Bishop Saint Nicholas of Smyrna, and Nikolaos of Bari), who lived during the fourth century. Born in Patara (in modern-day Turkey), he is the world’s most popular non-Biblical saint, and artists have portrayed him more often than any other saint except Mary. He is the patron saint of banking, pawnbroking, pirating, butchery, sailing, thievery, orphans, royalty, and New York City.^d
Early illustrations of St. Nicholas depict him as stern, commanding, and holding a birch rod. He was more a symbol of discipline and punishment than the jolly, overweight elf children know today.^d
Puritan Oliver Cromwell outlawed Christmas celebrations and carols in England from 1649-1660. The only celebrations allowed were sermons and prayers.^c
Wassail is from the Old Norse ves heill, meaning “good health.”^c
Christmas stockings allegedly evolved from three sisters who were too poor to afford a marriage dowry and were, therefore, doomed to a life of prostitution. They were saved, however, when the wealthy Bishop Saint Nicholas of Smyrna (the precursor to Santa Claus) crept down their chimney and generously filled their stockings with gold coins.^c
There are two competing claims as to which president was the first to place a Christmas tree in the White House. Some scholars say President Franklin Pierce did in 1856; others say President Benjamin Harrison brought in the first tree in 1889. President Coolidge started the White House lighting ceremony in 1923.^f
President Teddy Roosevelt, an environmentalist, banned Christmas trees from the White House in 1901.^f
It is estimated that the single “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin is the best selling single of all time, with over 100 million sales worldwide.^f
There are approximately 21,000 Christmas tree farms in the United States. In 2008, nearly 45 million Christmas trees were planted, adding to the existing 400 million trees.^b

The first lighted Christmas tree can be traced to Martin Luther

The first person to decorate a Christmas tree was reportedly the Protestant reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546). According to legend, he was so moved by the beauty of the stars shining between the branches of a fir tree, he brought home an evergreen tree and decorated it with candles to share the image with his children.^f
The first printed reference to a Christmas tree was in 1531 in Germany.^f
Approximately 30-35 million real (living) Christmas trees are sold each year in the U.S.^b
Christmas is a contraction of “Christ’s Mass,” which is derived from the Old English Cristes mæsse (first recorded in 1038). The letter “X” in Greek is the first letter of Christ, and “Xmas” has been used as an abbreviation for Christmas since the mid 1500s.^c
In 1962, the first Christmas postage stamp was issued in the United States.^f
In Germany, Heiligabend, or Christmas Eve, is said to be a magical time when the pure in heart can hear animals talking.^f
The Viking god Odin is one precursor to the modern Santa Claus. According to myth, Odin rode his flying horse, Sleipnir (a precursor to Santa’s reindeer), who had eight legs. In the winter, Odin gave out both gifts and punishments, and children would fill their boots or stockings with treats for Sleipnir.^d
The earliest known Christmas tree decorations were apples. At Christmastime, medieval actors would use apples to decorate paradise trees (usually fir trees) during “Paradise Plays,” which were plays depicting Adam and Eve’s creation and fall.^d
Commissioned by Sir Henry Cole (1808-1883), British illustrator John Callcott Horsley (1817-1903) invented the first Christmas card in 1843.^f
According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), there are 2,106 million children under age 18 in the world. If there are on average 2.5 children per household, Santa would have to make 842 million stops on Christmas Eve, traveling 221 million miles. To reach all 842 million stops, Santa would need to travel between houses in 2/10,000 second, which means he would need to accelerate 12.19 million miles (20.5 billion meters) per second on each stop. The force of this acceleration would reduce Santa to “chunky salsa.”^g
Christmas purchases account for 1/6 of all retail sales in the U.S.^f

How to Become Fearless. Mastery Newsletter December 16, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on December 16, 2015. Posted in Blogs, Mastery Newsletter

How to Become Fearless

Unravelling the Root of Our

Conditioning/Programming/Brainwashing

Fear is the way the “Powers That Be” control us.

As long as we are in fear, we are disconnected from the source of our power.

Love is our power. Fear is the illusion that we are not pure love.

We ARE pure love. When we are triggered to believe/sense/experience fear, we can buy into the illusion that we are not powerful. Then, it is easy for the “Powers That Be” to manipulate us.

What are the “Power That Be?”

Could be governments who want to maintain their grip on power, could be corporations that want to sell us “stuff.”

If we believe terrorists are going to kill us and are fearful of that, how much easier is it for governments to sell us on the idea of giving up our liberties in order to have “security?”

If we have a deep seated insecurity (even and especially unconsciously) corporations can sell us “stuff” that they claim will make us feel more secure.

Examples abound.

If you make more money, you may have financial security.

If you live in the right neighbourhood, you may feel less threatened by crime.

If you buy this cream, you can cover up the zits that make you feel ugly.

The female beauty industry thrives on manipulating women to not love their bodies and thereby make Billions in sales of “Stuff.” Exercise programs, diets, beauty creams galore, botox, surgery…the list seems endless.

All because the Powers That Be found a way to disrupt our sense of self-love that allows us to view ourselves as the gorgeous, beautiful beings that we are.

How is the fear installed in us?

By shaking up and disrupting the first energy centre or “Chakra.”

“Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey.”

Once we no longer feel safe and secure in the world, it is so much easier for the Manipulators to do their job on us.

Solution?

Correct the imbalances in the first energy centre.

Get the sense of safety and security back. Then our view of the world can be more clear and we can live in the love and power that is our birthright.

Make no mistake. The Powers That Be, the Manipulators can and will and are moving heaven and earth to prevent that.

This sense of safety and security is a foundation for our personal development and is critical to fill our lives with contribution to others and to deeper meaning in life.

Here is How to Correct the Imbalances:

What lessons has 2015 brought? Mastery Newsletter Dec. 9, 2015

Written by joyenergyandhealth on December 9, 2015. Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Mastery Newsletter Dec.9, 2015

Another wonderful year drawing to a close. What lessons has 2015 brought? That is the question I like to reflect on at this time of the year.

☼ The importance of connection. Staying in touch with family, with friends supports and nourishes my health.

☼ Laughter and chanting are great ways to be more intimate with others.

☼ Daily laughter of 10-15 minutes is a great preventive of stress and stress release also.

☼ Stress is insidious. It lurks in us all in modern society.

☼ EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is a great process for release of subconscious beliefs. It needs to be used regularly as deeper and deeper layers come to the surface.

☼ Asking the subconscious to release stress through afformations works well. AFFORMATIONS by Noah St. John is the book.

☼ Trauma Release through trembling works well. Again, needs regular practice. THE REVOLUTIONARY TRAUMA RELEASE PROCESS by David Berceli.

☼ Regular Yoga practice is a delight and useful. Just 10 minutes a day is great release.

☼ Meditation daily, even 10 minutes, works well.

☼ Keeping a regular schedule is useful for keeping elimination regular.

☼ Posture work from Esther Gokhale’s wonderful work 8 STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE BACK is just awesome and empowering.

☼ I need a health coach, at least one. Interviewing naturopaths over the next few weeks to see who I can work with as my primary health care provider. Though I will have to pay for the service, my health is worth it.

☼ My doctor is retiring, so I will have to search for a new allopathic doctor.

☼ Thankful, deeply thankful, for only having a few health issues and nothing major. Still, it is important to nip them in the bud so they don’t develop further.

☼ Intuition is important to listen to.

☼ Dream journaling could be quite valuable. Ray Davies of the Kinks rock group said that was and is how he writes his songs. He works at remembering his dream, staying in that state as long as possible when waking. That has produced some of the best rock songs.

☼ Energy work is available to us all. Just placing my hands on my stomach and thanking for healing my stomach and digestive system has fully eased any symptoms of my acid reflux. (Knock on wood)

☼ Hearing is critical. My new (cheap) hearing aid has created more clarity.

☼ The energy work and visualization has so far kept my eyes so I do not yet need reading glasses. Yay!

☼ The life I am leading is absolutely perfect as it is right now. I still continue to reach for more goals and my real challenge is fully appreciating all my blessings in this moment.

☼ I know movie makers manipulate my emotions. I don’t care. I love to laugh and cry in the same movie.

☼ Early to sleep is a challenge, but so worth it. It allows me to get up earlier as I am most productive in the morning.

☼ Nature never hurries, but everything gets done.

☼ I love to study and am devoting more time to it.

☼ Need to focus on making more income…sooner rather than later. I have some goals that need extra income. (Reaching for the stars)

☼ Important to release doing stuff that does not serve me, either in reaching goals or in having fun.

☼ Enjoying Toastmasters and learning from the process.

☼ NATUROPATHIC ONCOLOGY is a great work by naturopath Dr. Neil McKinney. Not only does it provide scientifically based info on dealing with cancer, but also great prevention strategies for cancer and all diseases.

☼ THE WAHLS PROTOCOL by Dr. Terry Wahls and PERFECT HEALTH DIET by Paul Jaminet and Shou-Ching Jaminet are the two health diet books that had have the most impact this year.

☼ TAPPING INTO WEALTH by Margaret Lynch is my introduction to EFT and having great fun with it.

☼ HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY by my friend Kressa Kristina Sisu is a great way to keep on track.

☼ There is lots of support available. My friend Fred and I meet weekly on Skype and in person once a month to check in on each others progress. It is kind of like a brainstorming session and also a Master Mind session. Valuable as it is easy for me not to see some issues because I am so close to it. Always learn something about myself each time.

☼ Providing positive input and gentle suggestions on improvement works a lot better than criticism. Toastmasters meetings are great at this.

☼ Good sleep is critical. It is also one of the easiest things to skimp on. Need it more as I age.

Wow. What a list, I just realize. I can come back and view this whenever I think I am moving too slowly. Thank you for being there to write for. Makes all the difference.

Happy Christmas and may 2016 be your most joyous year ever!!!

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

WEALTH

$50 Windfall. The Wind is Blowing Your Way…and Mine.

(Just in time for Christmas)

You must be in Canada to pick up on this offer.

Remember ING Bank and all those commercial on TV?…”Save Your Money” was the catchphrase.

ING got bought out and now they are aggressively going after customers and are offering a “bribe.”

If you open an account with them with $100 using my Referral Key, they will put $50 into your account.

(They also put $50 into my account as a referral fee)

The other $25 bonus comes if you agree to save at least $100 a month for 6 months.

Now, note that you don’t have to leave your money there. You can transfer it out at any time.

There are no fees with this account. They don’t have branches all across the country that they have maintain, so costs are minimal and they pass it on to you and I.

I have used this since almost the first moment they started up in Canada as ING. My experience has been fine. No fees. Easy to use.

And you get $50 or $75 cash upfront.

This promotion is only good until December 31, 2015.
