YOU and Joy in YOUR Life

Joy is one of the most important words in the world. Because

people are always looking for JOY outside of themselves but all it

takes is the journey inwards. And that is where the problem is

because Selfhood is a difficult process.

Reading about JOY helps us individually, but it is an individual

the journey only YOU can travel.

The Book of Joy, by the Dalai Lama, is a great book to have in

YOUR library. It delves into the concept a cultivation of JOY in

life. About finding true JOY. Applies nuggets of wisdom to apply

in everyday life, which we always need to have empowerment

from outside to say inside “Yes, that is for me and I will take that

in”.

Once again, if YOU do not have peace, joy, and love YOU cannot

help others find it. By reading and building your own spiritual

library, plus all other books, be grateful YOU are always

developing and growing and learning and becoming MORE.

We each have to live our lives on a daily basis but it is wonderful

to hear from other how they reach JOY in their own life.

When we read about others and their journey it helps us look

within and maybe if it is good we can look at things different and

begin to absorb the good insights.

Sometimes we need to ask difficult questions and we need

sources that give us a new view. The Book of Joy is one of these

books. It is an inspiring book for each of us, not the end all but

one of those YOU will be empowered by for your own life. It will

be challenging and thought to provoke guide through some

essential life issues. Absorb it and comprehend how it can impact

your life if take the journey toward deeper compassion, sharing,

understanding, enlighten and love.

Dr. Peck’s first sentence in “The Road Less Traveled” is

Life is Difficult

We have to be inspired, empowered, positive, loving, have JOY,

on a daily basis so we need to read books like “The Book of Joy

because “Life is Difficult” and we need to have all the above

everyday and it helps to read and take in what others have to say

so that we can take in, be inspired, empower SELF, be positive,

and loved and have that JOY we need on a daily basis.

YOU and Never Settle

It is only 2 words but for YOU and each of us it is 2 very important

Words.

NEVER SETTLE

Do not settle for less than you deserve. That applies to

everything in life. If you consider yourself a person of high value,

which you should, then you should set a high standard for who

you associate with. That could include friends, boyfriends, or co-

workers.

YOUR image should be a person of high worth

This blog, podcast and all on this website are to raise you to

the highest level of development, what you aspire to, how to get

healthy, and be a productive person and:

What Does Life Expect from YOU?

Finding out what life expect from you – in mind, body and spirit.

Set your standards for SELF high- because YOU are

You can expect only the best for YOU and from YOU

Building a life of high quality and high standards and never

settling for less.

Always look to upgrade

In relationships especially

Friends are a dime a dozen

Branch out to find some wonderful friendships around

Aim for perfect

Never expect to achieve perfection, but never give up in pursuit of it.

Embrace change

One of my favorite challenging things in life change

Have the attitude that you derive the best in life, great things will

come your way. Eat the best foods, see the best places, and

meet the best people

Never settle in a relationship

Here are some wonder quotes about SETTLING

Rule #1

Never be #2

Don’t get what you kind of sort of want.

Get what you actually really want.

Sometimes you have to walk away from what you want to find

What you deserve

Let go of what you are used to

Wait for what you deserve

I know what I bring to the table

So trust me when I say I am not afraid to eat alone

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life

I can’t settle for just anything, my daughter is watching me

It might hurt to walk away but that will never compare to the pain of staying.

Don’t let the fear of being alone, keep you in a relationship

Where you are alone

Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you

Stay hungry, never settle

Never forget that walking away from something unhealthy is BRAVE – even if you stumble a little on way out the door

By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of others.

YOU are what you settle for

Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.

Love

Trust

Honesty

Magic

Chemistry

Do not settle for anything less

YOU and Research showing soil depletion of vitamins & nutrients

This is from scientific American:

The main culprit in the disturbing nutritional trend is soil depletion:

modern intensive agricultural methods have stripped increasing

amounts of nutrients from the soil in which the food we eat grows.

Each successive general of fast-growing, pest-resistant carrot is

truly less good for you than the one before

A landmark study on the topic by Donald Davis and his team of

researchers from the University of Texas(UT) at Austin’s

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was published in

December 2004 in the Journal of the American College of

Nutrition. They studied U.S Department of Agriculture nutritional

Data from both 195 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and

fruits, finding “reliable declines” in the amount of protein,

calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin(vitamin B2)and vitamin c over

the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this

declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural

practices designed to improve traits,(size, growth rate, pest

resistance other than nutrition.

I am adding that since this study there has probably added items

for “SHELF LIFE”.

The organic Consumers Association cites several other studies

with similar findings. A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient date

from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh

vegetables dropped 27 percent, iron levels 37%, vitamin A levels

21%, and vitamin C levels 30%. There was a British Food Journal

also. One study concluded that one has to eat eight oranges

today to derive the same amount of Vitamin A as our

grandparents would have gotten from ONE>

The following is by:

Michael Karr, Ph.D

ARCPACS Certified Professional Soil Scientist

Mineral nutrient depletion continues to be a problem in U. S. farm,

forest, and range soils. The depletion is caused by natural

processes, such as weathering and erosion, particularly in the

sensitive soils of the southeastern United States. More

significantly, throughout the United States, human accelerated

depletion is caused by the production of high yield crops and

livestock grazing. Those activities cause nutrients to be removed

and organic matter to be depleted from the soil;s natural cycling

system. Moreover, when commercial growers attempt to

replenish the soils of only some mineral nutrients by fertilization

they may exacerbate mineral nutrient imbalances. While methods

exist to replenish the soil of its mineral nutrients there is a relative

lack of knowledge on how to identify all deficiencies and to fully

correct them. In addition, the lack of an economic incentive to

implement long term, soil-building solutions perpetuates the

relative fragility and inconsistency of US soils nutrient supplying

Is Your energy frequency between 57 and 78?

Essential oils have the highest frequencies of any measured

Natural substance.

Emotions have frequency and so do thoughts. Solids also have

frequency. Those with consciousness such as humans

experience higher energy frequency states. Humans vibrate at

the same levels.

Pure essential oils offer you natural way for harmonic wellness

at all levels (physical,emotional,mental and spiritual) what other 1

item could do all that? Laying the oils one after another is like

putting together and resonating in a symphony of musical notes

that is aligned with the rhythms of nature.

A higher biometric frequency encourages a body to regenerate

damaged cells, build a higher immune defense to viruses as well

as sustain energy vitality.

In a few decades’ scientists have gone from a conviction there

is no such thing as an energy field around the human body, to an

absolute certainty that it exists. And to understand the roles of

energy fields in health and disease. Because you are reading this

blog YOU understand that there is energy healing.

A healthy cell has a certain frequency; a healthy psyche is at the

right frequency.

We can re-balance our body frequencies – and feel good.

Our thoughts are vibrations also – we can change our perception

by changing our frequency. Our thoughts can change our

personal world.

The following ae ways to change body frequencies and lift them

to a healthy level:

Better food, Live food, vegetables and fruits and adding nutrients.

One of the things I do is use my vita mixer and make chard juice

and add fresh ginger and turmeric with olive oil and ground

pepper.

Dr. Royal Raymond Rife produced some astounding

accomplishments in medicine and biology in the 1920’s and 30

with frequencies. First he invented a new kind of optical

microscope to observe virus in live cells and tissue culture and

invented a variable frequency flashing light ultrasound source

which could kill bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Some call it life force, others call it chi. It is a vibration and it can

be measured.

We can try, on a daily basis, to vibrate at optimum energy

frequency state.

Negative thoughts lower our frequency by 12 MHz while positive

thoughts raise our frequency by 10 MHz

MHz

Healthy body is 62 – 78

Cold/foe 57 – 60

Cancer 42

Death 25

Below are 5 things that may help in raising YOUR frequency:

Cook and eat fresh ingredients
go offline as much as possible
avoid drugs and toxins
use therapeutic grade essential oils
use the power of intention

Essential oils emit a spectrum of frequencies that come from the

bonds between elements comprising the molecules of their

compounds. Each molecule is like a tiny stringed instrument

where the bonds between the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and

oxygen act as strings of different pitches.

We allow our negative emotions and limiting thoughts to be in

Charge. DO NOT DO THAT ANYMORE.

Positive thinking is the way to go.

ALWAYS

YOU and EMFs impact on your health and that of your children

and pets, as our overuse of electricity contributes greatly to

pollution from coal-fired electricity plants. Those who are wise will

heed the warnings of the electrically sensitive and reduce the

EMF radiation in their homes through good design and reduction of

dependence on electric appliance.

Even if you cannot feel it, or see it, EMF –and more and more we

are into a wireless world. So be informed and know it is having

an effect and it is accumulative.

Amir Raz, assistant professor of clinical neuroscience at

Columbia University offers the following answer about could

certain frequencies of electromagnetic waves or radiation interfere

with BRAIN FUNCTION?

DEFINITELY. Radiation is energy and research findings provide

at least some information concerning how specific types may

influence biological tissue, including that of the brain.

Evidence of health effects from EMF, including their influence on

the brain, is inconclusive and the probability that EMF exposure is

a genuine health hazard is currently small. (Listed below: Israel and

Germany have concerns) Microwave frequencies below 3,000

megahertz can penetrate the outer layers of the skin, be absorbed

into the underlying tissues, and result in all the known biological

effects of heating, including burns, cataracts, and possible death.

A few studies concluded that cell phone exposure enhanced

certain aspects of cognitive performance as measured by reaction

time and accuracy; others showed no difference, and a few,

including a very recent investigation, show that such exposure

had detrimental effects in specific contexts such as attention

span.

Martin Blank, PhD-Department of Physiology and Cellular

Biophysics at Columbia University has a wonderful little video

about the harmful health effects of electromagnetic radiation

Can cause:

Asthma-Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine

Salivary Gland cancer

Brain Tumor

Lymphatic cancer and Bone Marrow Cancer

Miscarriage

Suicide

Alzheimer’s disease

Depression

Leukemia

Cell towers health effects

People that live close to cell towers can have fatigue, irritability,

a headache, nausea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, depression

and on and on

Many home appliances create EMF:

Cordless phones,

Wireless baby monitors

Wireless doorbells

Wireless routers

Wireless modems

Anything wireless

This is all from Natural News:

Ways to reduce EMF radiation in your home and life

Keep your immune system strengthened

Practice a chemical-free lifestyle

Unplug electrical appliances when not in use

Keep your bedroom, and children bedroom, free of electrical

appliances, especially near your head while you sleep

Avoid low-voltage halogen and fluorescent lighting.

Avoid use of microwave ovens, hair dryers, electric toothbrush,

electric blankets

Avoid plasma TVs

Keep computer unplugged when not in use

Avoid areas with wireless networking

BBC new said “low-energy bulbs ‘cause a migraine”

Israel Knesset has bans placing cellular antennas on residential

buildings.

Germany warns citizens to avoid using Wi-Fi

Be informed and know about EMF and use it, store, it in your

home carefully, in separate rooms from YOU and YOUR children.

YOU and the Power of YOUR Subconscious Mind

Dr. Joseph Murphy books

YOUR intellect will try to get in the way but do not let this be.

This is considered one of the top Spiritual authors of the last

century. I have read “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind”

starting in the 1980s. It has been wonderful and moved me

development through life, and been an important part of that

development. Plus, he has other books, and the one we will

eventually talk about is the Fear/Worry one because many people

have ingrained into them that fear/worry is a constant thing and it

should not be.

Dr. Murphy 1898 – 1981

The following is from Dr. Murphy book:

How This book can work Miracles in Your Life

I have seen miracles happen to men and women in all walks of

life all over the world. Miracles can happen to you, too when you

begin using the magic power of YOUR subconscious mind. This

the book is designed to teach you that your habitual thinking and

imagery mold, fashion, and create your Destiny for as a man

thinketh in his subconscious mind, so is he.

There have been lots and lots of books about Law of Attraction

but I believe that Dr. Murphy’ books his teachings were some of

the first that gave a basic understanding. And most of the author’s

followed in his footsteps.

Dr. Murphy continues:

Why is one man sad, and another man happy? Why is one man

joyous and prosperous, and another man poor and miserable?

Why is one man fearful and anxious and another full of faith and

confident? Why does one man have a beautiful, luxurious home

while another man lives out a meager existence in a slum?

And on Dr. Murphy ask these questions about why this way and

not that way. Then he tells his reason for writing this book:

The following summary is at the end of the 1^st chapter and will

help you understand the difference:

All you need and want in life is within you.

You have the ability to contact and release this power of the

subconscious mind in YOU

Your subconscious mind has all the answers to all problems.

YOUR subconscious mind is the builder of your body and can

heal you. Lull yourself to sleep at night with the idea of perfect

health, and your subconscious, being your faithful servant will

obey

Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.

Never use the terms, I can’t afford it” or “I can’t do this” your

subconscious mind takes you at your word.

I can, I can, I can said the little red engine!

The law of life is the law of belief.

Change your thought change your life

YOU and Milk Thistle

Prevention should be your goal. Prevention of cancer,

diabetes, arthritis and any disease. The more information YOU

have on natural and organic items the better you are to maintain

healthy aging. My goal for you is not to get any disease and the

hopes that each blog written on this website gives you information

so you will not be sick and will know the things for prevention.

Milk Thistle has been used for 2,000 years as an herbal remedy

for a variety of ailments, particularly liver, kidney and gall bladder

problems. Several scientific studies suggest that substances in

milk thistle protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs,

such as acetaminophen(Tylenol), which can cause liver damage

in high doses.

Milk thistle is often suggested as a treatment for alcoholic hepatitis

and alcoholic cirrhosis. Most studies d=show milk thistle

improves liver function and increases survival in people with

cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

Early lapidary studies suggest that silymarin and other active

substances in milk thistle may have anti-cancer effects. These

substances appear to:

Stop cancer cells from dividing and reproducing

Shorten the lifespan of cancer cells

Reduce blood supply to tumors

The above information if from University of Maryland Medical

Center

Dr. Mercola website has that milk thistle anti-inflammatory effects

are among its greatest achievements, and recent research

suggest this is accomplished, in part using a two-phase process

similar to those used by other beneficial natural compounds like

curcumin and a component of green tea.

Aside from liver health and cancer protection, milk thistle also

shows promise for:

Kidney health

Heart health

Diabetes

Brain health

Listed below are 14 health benefits of milk thistle

Protects liver

Antioxidant

Anti-inflammatory

Infections

Neuroprotective

Anti-diabetic

Protects the heart

Protects from chemicals and toxins

May help prevent and treat cancer

Improves bone health

Effective milk secretor

Protects against radiation-induced lung injury

Reduces iron absorption

Inhibits fat cells

The above list is from selfhacked.com website and it has an in-

depth explanations on each item.

Milk thistle is scientifically called Silybum marianum. It is an annual

or biennial plant of the Asteraceae family. Originally a native of

Southern Europe through to Asia, it now found throughout the

world.

The following is from Liversupport.com about milk thistle:

Functions as a therapeutic agent for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease

Improves blood sugar levels

Reduces cell damage caused by radiation and chemotherapy treatments

Supplements sunscreen protection and may be useful against multiple types of skin disease

Words as a free radical scavenger and powerful antioxidant

Reduces hot flashes and other related menopausal symptoms

YOU and clearing your MIND of stress

There are always constant ups and downs in life, roadblocks,

unplanned obstacles, arguments, and setbacks that all contribute

to one thing – stress, and lots of it.

White you cannot avoid stress altogether, simply letting it build up

and consume you can lead to not only a meltdown but sickness

and the dreaded thing called “disease”.

A clear mind is a healthy, productive mind. Listed below are 8

ways that may help you clear your mind and be relaxed and

healthy along this road called “Life”.

Talk to a friend.

Read a great book

Write in a daily journal

Hit the gym hard

Go for a long run

Go punch for punch in the boxing ring

Take some time to meditate

Unplug from technology and for a walk or hike

Inc. Magazine had an article about how to clear mind in 15

minutes:

Oh, this is really good and give it a try on one of those really

stressful days that show up often in Life:

5 minutes of physical activity

4 minutes of gratitude

3 minutes of meditation

2 minutes of silence

1 minute of deep breathing

what a wonderful way to spend 15 minutes. Try it, you may find

that it actually does clear out the stress.

Dr. Mercola’s ways to relieving stress:

I have read, listened to and practice a lot over the years that Dr.

Mercola has to say.

Not relieving stress in our lives can cause:

Depressing, anxiety and moodiness

Immune dysfunction

Weight gain or loss

Cardiovascular disease

Sleep problems

Stomach and digestive problems

Headaches and back pain

Dr. Mercola says:

Sorting our priories and learning the value of saying NO

Meditation helps you take deliberate break from stress

Meridian tapping technique – which I have done over the years

Dr. Swenson’s books contain some other:

Laughter

Music

Nature

There are lots of ways listed above to relieve stress on a daily

basis.

Remember, the one reason to work on the above ways is

especially to stop sickness, disease, and anything negative

invading our daily life.

I have found that doing “First things First” and not putting off a

task I do not enjoy. I always have a mission every day, I have a

plan, a triage plan if necessary. There are always things that are

going to stress us out but also taking a deep breath and relaxing

shoulders and letting the body relax is a very helpful stress relaxer.

YOU and Spiritual Power

There is a lot to be said about POWER – but it is about spiritual

power today.

How we live daily is about our Spiritual Power

Love

Forgiveness

Joy

Dignity

Character

Martin Luther King, Jr wrote of power and he was a very spiritual

Man:

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in

moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at

times of challenge and controversy”.

He had that spiritual power we should all want because Dr. Martin

Luther King, Jr. had IT

Plato said about power:

“The measure of a man is what he does with power”.

We have seen over the last 70 years what many men have done

with power. Last year the United States of America dropped over

26,000 bombs around the world. That was in “ZeroHedge”, online

financial newspaper. This is power but not Spiritual.

Power can be used for good or for evil.

JFK knew there was a possibility that there were different groups

that would not like his policies but he was determined that his

American people did not want war or be at odds with the Soviet

Union but his spiritual self kept moving him into a place of peace

for his America. I believe his spiritual power was at peace in the

end.

Spiritual Power brings each of us:

Peace

and

Joy

Life that moves us to aging with grace and dignity and no regrets.

Spiritual Power allows us to be strong in thought and actions that

we each take throughout each day, in being about SELFhood, not

what anyone else want’s YOU to think. Put aside all news and

when Self has discovered Spiritual Power use it wisely and be at

peace about it.

Friedrich Nietzsche said:

“There are two different types of people in the world, those who

want to know, and those who want to believe”.

Be that person who wants to know “Spiritual Power” and use it for

good. Study, read, acknowledge, and be wise with the truth you

find. That is the Spiritual Person who has the Spiritual Power.

Reinhold Niebuhr’s book:

Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics

Should be required reading for all Americans and realize that

collective behavior of man/woman is different from his individual

behavior.

If a government worker/private worker is doing something

unethical at work but believes their self to be a Spiritual Person –

speak up and speak out because Spiritual Power comes from

being Spiritual in all that we do, work or personal life.

Joy and Peace for today

YOUR Spiritual Plan is YOUR own

On a daily basis, it is easy for each of us to just take for granted our Spiritual journey –

but we each need to be reminded how Blessed we are to be here, healthy today, and

live a productive life full of many blessings.

Over the years I have read at least 100 spiritual books by many different authors who

have followed their own Spiritual Plan:

Victor Frankl

Dr. Joseph Murphy

Dr. Wayne Dwyer

Tony Robbins

Johnathan Livingstone Seagull

Deepak Chopra

Paulo Coelho

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Dale Carnegie

Dr. Stephen R. Covey

From the 1950’s to today’s authors I have read many so that I always felt I was

maturing in my own Spiritual Plan.

What has happened along the way is that family and friends have influenced my

journey and my own Spiritual Plan.

Today, at this time, in the Now, I do not let anyone or anything influence my Spiritual Plan and have not for many years. I hope your Spiritual Plan is YOUR own because it brings, love, peace, joy, forgiveness and much strength to deal with life’s trauma.

I have a friend, for almost 30 years now but have not seen for many years, but he is 88 now and his Spiritual Plan is so strong now that he has lost 2 precious daughters to cancer and a young grandson to gun violence and has not lost his Spiritual Plan in all this trauma to SELF. I try to emulate his Spiritual Plan but he has been at this longer than myself but he is to be admired and respected for his inner Spiritual strength.

Intention and being grateful are 2 parts to my Spiritual Plan. Having read the

author’s listed above – intention and being grateful are 2 topics the author’s dwell on

over the years also.

Praying/meditating for other’s well-being is something I have always done but I know

my well-being will be taken care with my own knowledge of SELFhood so praying and

asking for things is not my Spiritual Plan. God expects me to take care of SELF, God

expects me to be productive so I am grateful to my Higher Power for giving me these

blessings.

Spiritual growth comes with the Journey we have.

Professor Randy Pausch said:

“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”

I find that quotes help me in so many ways:

I must be willing to give up what I AM

To become what I will BE

Albert Einstein

In the end, it is not the years in your life that count.

It is the life in your years

Abraham Lincoln
