YOU have to protect your MIND

The best way to do that is having knowledge on what

may affect YOUR mind.

More and more research is coming out about

Hormone-disrupting chemicals are doing to not only

YOUR mind but your body which affects YOUR spirit.

It is all connected so just remember:

Body = Mind = Spirit = Body = Mind =Spirit

It all is connected please remember that

So it is important to know that there have been

Many people over many years that have done research

And been talking about hormone-disrupting chemicals

And how they are affecting YOU but your children, family

And friends in many ways.

Dr. Blylock

Dr. Mercola

Since I have been listening to these wonderful researchers and

Doctors for almost 20 years I have been aware of hormone-

disrupting chemicals for all those years and I have been

taking steps to eliminate them as much as possible.

But, because of what the multinational food companies and

supplement companies have been doing for past 20-30

years these small particles are already in all of our body

through the skin, blood and anyway they can get into our

Mind, Body and Spirit.

I am very careful about what I buy at grocery store-

NO BAGGED Food

NO BOXED Food

NO CANNED Food

And I do juice with extra turmeric and ground pepper and

olive oil. Beet juice plus a lot of GOOD Supplements-I get only

Prescription quality supplements at:

Local Pharmacy

The Power Hour

Infowar.com

I would never buy anything at corner pharmacy’s or grocery stores

Even exposure to tiny doses of hormone-disrupting chemicals

Is responsible for at least $340 billion in health-relate costs each

year.

Flame retardants and pesticides, in particular, are known to affect

the developing brain and can lead to loss of IQ.

Each IQ point lost corresponds to approximately two percent in

lost productivity.

The costs and benefits of regulation should be openly debated,

citing the decision in the 1970s to ban lead in paint and also in

gasoline

Bisphenol A

Cleaning products

Pesticides

Weaponizing weather particles

Anything man-made should be avoided as much as possible.

So-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in

Thousands of everyday products, ranging from plastic and metal

food containers, to detergents, flame retardants, toys and

cosmetics plus those mentioned above.

Neurological damage and behavioral problems, including

attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), autism and loss of

IQ.

The body’s endocrine tissues produce essential hormones that

help regulate energy levels, reproduction, growth, development,

as well as our responses to stress and injury.

EDC’s lock on to receptors within a human cell and block the

body’s own hormones from binding to it. Very adverse

consequences and life-long consequences at that.

BEWARE – BEWARE – BEWARE

Of everything you buy

Of everything you put in your mouth

Of everything YOUR children have in their room, put into

their mouth, or anything they eat.

Be smart

Be aware

Be informed

This blog about YOUR Spirit we will be talking about one of most

enlighten spiritual books in the last 50 years and how it may

affect your life and your journey and empower YOU.

THE ALCHEMIST

By Paulo Coelho

It is about a shepherd and moving in a simple way while he was

places it in the following his dreams he had about treasures in

Egyptian pyramids.

The shepherd meets many spiritual messengers along his

journey.

The one encounter was meeting was the alchemist and about

Metals being heated for many years would be eventually freed of

all individual properties, and what would be left “Soul of the

World”.

His heart is afraid that it will have to suffer. The alchemist

reassures the shepherd that the fear of suffering is worse than the

suffering itself.

If we are living in fear, we cannot move forward with our dreams

and opportunities.

There are only 2 emotions – LOVE and FEAR.

It is always better to live in Love and move forward through the

FEAR

There are a lot of lessons in this book – this little book about a

Shepherd.

Listening to our hearts and following YOUR dreams.

Living in the moment

Freeing YOUR self from fear

Understanding YOU are part of the energy of the Universe

Understanding everything will work out the way it was intended.

The universe will conspire to help YOU fulfill YOUR purpose –

Use YOUR sub-consciousness every day.

I always have enjoyed stories that

Encourage

Empower

Each of us in our own way. ‘

We all know a lot if we have gotten out of high school but we all

Need encouragement and empowerment at different times in our

lives. Especially, when we have all been touched by tragic and

trauma – which includes anything like; death, divorce, anything

that can affect a person

This one little book are a simple tale about trying to keep us,

YOU, to keep diving into the strong current and to see where it

takes us. But be inspired by the words that the shepherd kept

having in his mind and thoughts that kept leading him towards his

the goal of seeing his mission to get to Egypt and his goals.

This book will help you remain in YOUR center and is an exquisite

book

The book emphasizes the reason for each living in the now as

opposed to one’s past and future. You will remember this book

And the shepherd’s journey and go back to read it over the years.

All the yesterday’s make up our history and YOUR life.

But this little book and all the blogs will help YOU

What Does Life Expect from YOU?

It is everyday journey and because you have to keep all your

Mind, body and spirit in mind with every step of every day

YOU and Prevention

Do Prevention for your health, body, and peace of mind.

It is harder to cure a disease than it is to prevent one.

Let me give you a list of disease you can prevent because I

Have been doing prevention for close to 30 years so that I do

Not get cancer, diabetes, arthritis and a mired of many others

Diseases that can be caused by inflammation and/or autoimmune

Diseases.

Listed below is a list of things that may cause disease:

Blood type

Lifestyle

Environment

Stress

Processed foods

Anxiety

Jealousy

Anger

Water

Many other items

Feed your cells well, feed your organs well, do your exercises,

think positive, be happy, love, forgive and do what YOUR body

requires to live healthy while YOU age and do not forget to be

thankful, meditate, and prayer.

I highly suggest that knowing YOUR characteristics that helps

Know what YOUR body needs to be and stay healthy.

Blood type

Birth Date

Genes/DNA

Personality type

Family relations

Pecking order

Since a lot of diseases starts in the gut – always good to start with

A good probiotic – I use one that was created by a Japanese

Doctor – Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics – Pharmacist Ross Pelton sells it

And I buy it at my local pharmacy but you can order.

Pharmacist Pelton has a wonderful website

Naturalpharmacist.net

He was doing cancer researcher almost 30 years ago and is

so Informative on all issues of the body and health.

It does take time and effort – courage to know that you want to

age healthy,

I had both my hips replace years ago – from body being out of

Alignment and not arthritis. So I work on my upper leg muscles –

And I now I can walk up and down stairs without holding on to

railings but I continue to work on my upper leg muscles to build

them up for aging as I go along here.

Prevention should become a lifelong journey, as it has for me.

I work daily on prevention of any disease. My childhood family

Had all passed over the bridge by the time I was 63.

Brother dies of colon cancer and diabetes

Sister dies of leukemia

Mother dies of lung cancer

All within 2 ½ years.

My goal and daily mission are not to have those diseases

Since they have passed I went into depression so I am now

Taking Lithium Orates – I do get mine from:

The Power Hour – I also buy supplements from quality people,

places and websites that I know have quality, pharmacist quality

supplements.

I do treat my body like a temple because it is taking me the end

of my life and I want it in the best shape I can keep it.

YOUR body is a temple and should be treated as such so

that family and friends can see how well you are doing.

Life and time do not give an inch because YOU need to

start today – not tomorrow-tomorrow will – always start today.

Take small steps if you must – but take one step.

YOU and YOUR infinite Spirit

Your spirit like mind and body is infinite – because it is ALL YOU

And that which is YOU is all infinite – YOUR physical body will die

But there is consciousness and soul and energy which is ALL,

EVERYTHING and FOR ALWAYS out there in the ether.

Dr. Pattakos book with Dr. Covey and Viktor Frankl’s life story

Is about how YOU have wonderful meaning in life – but the

Journey sometimes has bumps and mountains and YOU much

Learn to navigate over and around those bumps and mountains

In YOUR own unique way.

Some of the ways:

Exercise the personal freedom to choose our attitude and outlook

Realize our will to meaning or significance

Detect the meaning of life’s moments and questions

Do not work against our self

Look at our self from a distance

Shift our focus of attention or maintain fluidity or perception

Extend beyond yourself

YOUR life is what YOU make IT –

MAKE it great

MAKE it meaningful

MAKE it with love and forgiveness so you have JOY

So you have peace, harmony, and contentment at the end.

Viktor Frankl was a professor of neurology and psychiatry at University of Vienna Medical School and was the founder of what was call school of logotherapy. Frankl’s theory is that man’s search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life. The strength of a person’s sense of meaning, responsibility, and purpose is the greatest determine factor in how that question will be answered.

How do I go about making my life meaningful?

How do I go about making my life have a purpose?

We have great power to shape our attitudes and responses to the challenges that life presents to each of us, and that we grow thanks to these challenges.

Our spirit grows as our mind grows as our body ages.

Leave this plane knowing that you have left it with meaning, purpose and left your mark on family, friends and the many that have passed in the night.

Like someone said:

Frankl’s book will not show YOU the meaning of life but he will help you develop the tools, because you are unique, to develop the tools to find your own meaning.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was the person below,

“He did not try to lead others to himself, but to themselves”.

There it is again:

“What Does Life Expect From YOU?”

Tools to help YOU find that out is here at this website and that is my goal.

Nietzsche’s dictum is “He who has a WHY to live and bear with almost any HOW,’

Start today and continue on for the rest of your life here on this plane – learning, growing, developing, being a part of, sharing, loving, forgiving, having JOY

In all his tragic trauma Dr. Frankl found that meaning in his life and that is what he wanted, in all his writings, for you to have found YOUR meaning – in all your uniqueness, in all your tragic and trauma from living. Find it for SELF, for peace, for quiet, for forgiveness, for love, for the JOY

Dr. Masaru Emoto devoted his life helping other learn to use

prayer and blessing to improve their lives.

Dr. Emoto was fascinated with water and wondered if there were

methods of expressing difference in the nature of water.

He knew that water from a natural spring was better for you than

tap water or stagnant water.

And does water have messages for us. Could we develop ways

to receive those messages from water.

Dr. Emoto developed a process in which he would freeze drops of

water and take photographs of individual water crystals that

formed. He found that his theory was correct; like snowflakes,

very water crystal is unique. But he learned much more than that.

Dr. Emoto found that you could tell much about the nature of the

water by photographing it in this way, and more importantly, that,

as human beings, we ca change the nature of water in many

ways. Water truly does have powerful messages for us.

One of the first things that Dr. Emoto learned was that all water

does not form beautiful crystals. He tested top water from around

the world and found that tap water does not form water crystals.

Stagnant or polluted water does not form water crystals either, but

forms unpleasant, deformed frozen structures. Rainwater, water

from clean streams and rivers, water from glaciers, and water

from holy places around the world form beautiful crystals when

frozen.

Then he wondered if we, as human beings, can change the

nature of water, so he tried many techniques to test this. Dr.

Emoto found that if he played beautiful music in the presence of

tap water, it would then make beautiful frozen crystal formations.

He also leaned that the written word changed the water. Dr.

Emoto taped paper strips on bottles of tap water and then

photographed the frozen water. He found that words such as

“Thank you” and “I love you”, cause the tap water to form beautiful

crystals. Words such as “You make me sick,” or You are a fool,”

caused ugly, distorted crystals or no crystals at all. Dr. Emoto

then found that we cause tap water to form beautiful frozen water

crystals simply by praying for the water, by sending it loving

thoughts, and by blessing it, like YOU should be blessing your

food before you eat.

YOU can learn to use prayerful intent to put beneficial energies

into your body, into substances, such as food and water, into

objects, such as jewelry, and into your living environment. You

can bless things with unique energy vibrations as defined by

YOUR INTENT.

YOU can also change detrimental energies into beneficial

energies, all with the power of prayer and blessing.

Start YOUR blessings with water, food, and even your car with

The powerful INTENT.

How powerful is water in YOUR life?

Drink

Distilled water

Filtered water

Bless YOUR water

Bless YOUR food

Put a little Red Baron soda into to help alkaline-a pinch will do.

Are YOU keeping track of your Alkaline levels –Ph.

Use the little yellow stripes to check your alkaline levels. Give

them out to friends who have no idea what alkaline level is.

Spread the knowledge you are learning from this website.

I first became aware of Dr. Theodore A. Baroody’s book, “Alkalize

or Die” probably about 16 years ago. One of my favorite radio

people, Patrick Timpone, talked about health issues and I paid

attention to his research and what he had to say about everything.

Dr. Baroody shows how excess acids in the small intestines can

negatively affect that vital organ. You need a clear understanding

of how alkalizing our body tissues can boost overall health and

the health of specific areas of your body. Eating alkaline forming

foods are a solution to the problem of excess tissue acids, but

drinking alkaline water produced by any of the quality alkaline

water filters are a simpler and effective way to alkalize your

body.

I have 2 different water items in my home:

Megahome water distiller

Love it. Have to clean it with vinegar once a month or so.

Have to take Dr. Marshall’s pink salt for minerals or can take

Other minerals but have to add minerals of some kind when

you have a water distiller. But it is so clean and wonderful to

know I am drinking what I feel like to “CLEAN” water.

PH-CT-500

Love it also. Lasts 3,000 gallons of anti-oxidation and

alkalization to your body. Just check it with the little yellow

strips to make sure you do not need new filter and that is still

alkalized water. Everyone is different on usage.

Too much acid waste production from acid-forming foods is

a great burden on your body.

Have you heard of “Peyer’s Patches in the upper portion of?

the small intestines which is crucial to life. The patches are

essential for proper assimilation of food throughout the

system and supply an important link between the autonomic

and cerebrospinal nervous system by producing lymphatic

system’s wide ranging nodal network. And they produce

large amounts of enzyme chyle, a major alkalizing substance

created in the physical body.

Acid waste attacks the following body parts:

Heart

Kidney

Pancreas

From colon into liver and back into general circulation.

Then into tissues

Tissues determine sickness or health

Acid wastes attacks the joints, tissues, muscles, organs and

glands causing minor to major dysfunction.

Be watchful of your bodies alkalization – use the yellow

strips always. Know that your blood work tested by your

Annual medical test is good.

It is a daily watch for your alkaline = that is why I like juicing

Chard and put turmeric with alittle olive oil and grind black

pepper into it. Makes for an easy way to keep up my

alkaline plus the other things that I do to help keep my body

on the journey.

This is an easy read book, lots of information, lots of good

recipes and list of foods with their acid/alkalizing numbers.

YOUR immune system functions optimally when your body has

an adequate supply of electrons, which are easily and naturally

obtained by barefoot contact with the earth.

Research indicates that electrons from the earth have

antioxidant

effects that can protect your body from inflammation and its

many

well-documented health consequences. For most of our

evolutionary history humans have had continuous contact with

the earth.

It is only recently that substances such as asphalt, wood, rugs,

and plastics have separated us from this contact.

The earth maintains a negative electrical potential on its

surface.

When you are in direct contact with the ground-walking,

sitting, or

laying down on the earth’s surface that the earth’s electrons are

conducted to our body bringing it to the same electrical

potential

as the earth. Living in direct contact with the earth grounds

you’re

body, inducing favorable physiological and electrophysiological

changes that promote optimum health.

Earthing is highly beneficial to our health and minimizes the

consequences of exposure to potentially disruptive fields like

“electromagnetic pollution or dirty electricity.

I have done earthing over the years – and not as consistently as

would have like to or should have. But I have known it has

been

beneficial to us for years. When I go and sit in the grass or just

stand in the grass or ground I can feel the energy flowing up

and

through my body.

Some of the research has been finding that some of the benefits

are:

Decreasing inflammation and chronic pain by defusing excess

positive electrons

Improving sleep by normalizing biological rhythms, including

circadian rhythm

Increasing energy through improved blood flow and blood

pressure

Lowering stress and increasing a sense of calm by reducing

stress hormones

Improving menstrual and female hormone systems

Accelerates the healing or wounds and shortens recovery time

from injury or athletic activity

Relieving muscle tension and headache

Protecting the body from EMF’s and re-directing damaging

electromagnetic energy

Support adrenal health

At the time there are a dozen or so completed studies on

grounding that has proven beyond any doubt that becoming

grounded has significant positive effects on our physiology and

heart health.

Really has lots of information on lowering stress and creates

calmness so take heed and go out and stand/or sit in the grass.

is okay – you will be able to, like me, feel the energy moving

within your body.

YOU should go barefoot and try for 40 minutes a day. They say

concrete is conducive but I like grass, dirt or sand. They say

concrete floor ==like basement floor is ok. Barefoot for sure.

Grounding also positively affects your nervous system and has

been researched that may lead to a reduction in some of your

medications.

My goal since the 1980s has been not to take any medication –

to do that I have had to learn about SELF and what SELF

requires to stay healthy.

PREVENTION OF A DISEASE IS MUCH BETTER THAN

REACTING TO A DISEASE.

I have been using bentonite clay for probably the last ten years

And I keep a mason jar of it in my cabinet to take 2 ounces at a

time just to wash the impurities out of my body – especially the

metals. Heavy metal toxins usually refer to substances like

mercury, cadmium, lead and benzene, fluoride in the water.

Bentonite clay is composed of ash made from volcanos. The

largest known source of bentonite clay is found in Fort Benton,

Wyoming where numerous volcanos are present.

Bentonite clay goes back in history as a traditional healing

a method for protecting the body from the disease a detoxing the

body.

There are a lot of toxins in our daily lives, the air, the water. The

processed food, the plastics, the spraying, and we could go on

and I am even picky about where I buy my supplements and so

should you be because not all supplements are the same?

BUYER BEWARE

Bentonite clay has minerals in it, including calcium, magnesium,

silica, sodium, copper, iron, and potassium

Also, it benefits the body because it has the ability to produce a

the charge that is electrical in nature when it comes in contact with

liquid – similar to how EARTHING (we will talk about this later).

When the clay touches any type of fluid (normally water), it takes

on a different charge and is thought to bind to any present toxins

within the fluid.

The following are ways that Bentonite clay benefits and uses:

Used on skin to heal eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis

In bath as a soaking liquid to remove toxins-have done this over

the years and it is so good

Allows cells to receive more oxygen and we all know how important

good oxygenation of cells is for preventing disease

Alkalizes the body – and we have to keep that up for sure

Boosts probiotics – and that is just another important item for

prevention of disease

Relieves digestive problems such as constipation, IBS, nausea

and more

Boosts immunity by killing harmful bacteria and viruses

Improves the health of teeth and gums

Purifies waters from that terrible fluoride (the bad kind in drinking water)

Useful as baby powder alternative

I have learned over the years that some of the Bentonite clay is

packaged in plastic containers. I have found a company here in

Austin that packages his in glass and that is what I buy. I buy a 5

pound product – so I have it on hand and it never gets old and I

try to always buy products in glass because the plastics leach into

the products otherwise.

I highly recommend that if you know of anyone with autism, please

order a gift of Calcium Bentonite Clay – in glass bottle – for those

people and tell them to give a clay bath – instructions can be

found on the web” bentoniteclayinfo.com – there is help out there

for you all – just need to plug into the right place. Go check it out

for yourself.

It can help with bee stings, insect bites, cat bites, jellyfish, spider

bite.

YOU are YOUR childhood – mind, body, and spirit. YOU have

gone through the development stages of maturing into who you

are today – going from dependent upon your childhood

parents/mentor/guardians that make decisions for YOU to being

independent and making your own decisions about YOUR

Body, Mind, and Spirit

Most likely what you did in your childhood is what you usually do

in adulthood or you search for your own spirituality in your own

time and look for your spirituality outside what you had in your

childhood

You and I, as young children learned through their direct

experience and through observation of other’s behavior, and not

by way of abstract discussion. Children learn particular practices

by participating in them.

Besides immersing children in the ongoing practice of cultural and

religious traditions, parents can also foster children’s appreciation

of their heritage through games and crafts on their family and

cultural history, these are important for spiritual growth as we

develop and mature and age.

Cultural practices including music, language, food and dress are

important to each of us for all the time we are here. But, exposing

children to other cultures at an early age help develop them

tolerance and appreciation of cultural differences and diversity;

skills they will need to navigate the complex and culturally

interdependent modern world – our next door neighbor and

beyond.

A child’s spiritual life should be age appropriate. Overall

development of every child is unique. Before age 10 or so, the

spiritual parenting will have the most lasting effect if it builds a

foundation in the SELF rather than focusing on principles.

Every young child should feel that:

They are loved and lovable

Meditation can add to a sense of a child’s self-worth and even

power because it is an activity that belongs just to them.

The childhood brain is a factor here. It has been shown that

introducing mediation leads to behavioral improvements in older

ages – middle school and later.

Meditating is a wonderful thing for us adults but also with a child

it gives them a feeling of control and power.

Given the opportunity foo meditate a child or adult is able to

notice actual changes in themselves. They are calmer, more

centered, less troubled, less tempted to act out.

They are worthwhile in their parents; eyes

Being a good person comes from within

Happiness and fulfillment are natural

The child/adult learns how to be fulfilled and successful life, the

best route is through the spiritual life. We learn the value of our inner

The world, and as the years pass this value increases until the

realization dawns that all of the existence originates “in here” at the

level of the soul.

What a wonderful outcome you and I are – to find “in here” at the

level of our soul.

We are our childhood – hoping to reach the level we aspire to and

What Does Life Expect from Us?

YOUR lymphatic system touches almost every part of the body. It

is a network of fluid-filled nodes, vessels, gland, and organs.

Although e do not feel or see it, it is one of the most important

systems of the human body. It is important to give the lymph

system attention over the years and as YOU age.

The lymphatic system’s main function is to cleanse toxins and

protect against harmful invaders. It works by carrying waste away

from the tissues and into the bloodstream. It tackles toxins that

are introduced to the body from both external meas0food, air,

personal care products, water as well as internal ones-damaged

proteins and cellular/metabolic waste. It is a key detoxification

pathway.

Through lymph nodes and the lymphatic network, your immune

cells can travel around fighting pathogens, such as bacteria and

mold, and prevent disease and infection.

You have to keep your lymphatic system functioning properly for

your overall health of YOUR body.

The stronger the lymphatic systems mean a more resilient and

reactive immune response and defense

YOUR lymphatic system can become stagnant and especially

with toxic debris.

I have used a REBOUNDER for about 15 years now – and it is

Rated as not only the number 1 piece of exercise equipment but

It keeps your lymphatic network clean – if done regularly

Rebounding and keeping your lymphatic network clean helps

keep your youthful skin and body cellulite-free

So listed below are 10 natural ways to keep your lymphatic

network clean and clear so it can flow and do its work.

REBOUNDING

One of the easiest ways to pump the lymph network. And it also improves muscle tone and just over-all body good

INVERSION TABLE

Pad table that allows one to invert upside down while strapped in by the feet. Decompresses the joints of the body and stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory system.

LEMON WATER

How easy is that just plain lemon water? Use distilled or filtered water. Every day drink half your weight in water – add the lemon so your will be alkalizing your body and getting the water at the same time.

ENZYMES

Enzymes are also used utilize by the body to clear toxic waste buildup in the lymph and blood, making their supplementation a key way to improve lymphatic health.

MASSAGE

How wonderful does a good massage feel? I have had lymphatic massage over the years and is a special form of massage that specifically targets the flow of lymph network.

HERBS

Red clover is a good herb for lymph, increasing flow, which helps to detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. I make tea from red clover that I buy at a good grocery store.

DRY BRUSHING

Take a dry brush with coarse bristle and brush the skin towards the heart. This stimulates the sweat glands, opens pores, and gets rid of dead skin cells. Encourages movement of lymph and blood in underlying organs and tissues of the body.

EAT RAW FOODS

I always eat raw vegetables. And I juice a lot-chard and turmeric work well for my body. Put as many fresh vegetables into your body as possible.

GO WIRELESS

Get rid of the bras with wires – clogs up the lymphatic systems under arms.

PRACTICE YOGA

Yoga works in multiples way for the body. There are various forms of Yoga – try the one that fits YOU best but does Yoga for all of it’s benefits
