Prayer

YOU and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Others

The Power of Positive Thinking was a book that was always in our

Home when I was growing up and had always been there and

Was something my parents practiced all the lives – and I have f

followed Dr. Peale’s principles also for my life.

God is mentioned throughout the book but anyone reading the

Blog’s I write know how important God is in my life. I thank God

every day, I pray for other’s health and success, my children,

friends, and especially when I hear of any family going through

trauma I send a prayer their way.

Prayer and positive thinking helps YOUR body and helps your

cells.

Prayer and positive thinking will help anyone, at any time, on

anything.

Fear and worry can cause your health to deteriorate. Being

positive and letting go of all fear and worry in your life – turning it

over to God –makes for a healthy and happy body. I have found

that so true in my own life and know you have and will also.

Not only does positive thinking help your spirituality but how

important it is for your body. To love, to smile, to laugh, to have

joy. Between YOU and God – all the positive and wonderful

things in life bring about those positive things in YOUR life.

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking

and optimism on health. Mayo Clinic has said that the health

benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

Increased lifespan – that is an awesome thought!

Lower rates of depression

Lower levels of distress

Greater resistance to the common cold

Better psychological and physical well-being

Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It is unclear why people who engage in positive thinking

experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a

positive outlook enables us to cope better with stressful

situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on

YOUR body.

John Hopkins Medicine gives a few tips on power of positive

thinking also:

Smile More

Reframing – in a traffic jam –I take a deep breath and am grateful

Build resiliency – maintain good relationship, accept change, be

A problem solver when they appear

That Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins Medicine also have some

positive thinking principles, it is amazing that Dr. Peale came out

with his principles in 1930 sometime. But, as time has come

forward even big medical centers find that positive thinking has a

lot to do with not only spirituality but with our health and body.

Healthy aging and Joy for today

There are probably many more reasons to juice than the ones

that I am going to lay out before you in this blog but build your

own reasons but I am going to lay some out here.

I use my vita mixer – I use to have a juicer but it took out too

much of the pulp for me and so I wanted the pulp because there

is a lot of fiber in that pulp and I was worried I could get some

more of the good pulp with my vita mixer.

The juicing nutrients pass directly into the bloodstream, ad

within minutes our bodies receive optimum fuel to fee our

cells and help restore our immune system

vegetable juice provides vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates,

essential fatty acids, proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants

and so much more.

Increased energy – wonderful

able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients which enter

bloodstream very quickly

I do not juice fruits – maybe a couple of times a year. I juice

chard, carrots, and ginger root – and put turmeric into all my

juicing I do.

You will never receive as much nutrients in anything else

except juicing vegetables

drink fresh juice as much as possible but I do freeze small

jars for a week or so – looses some of it’s value

nothing compares to fresh vetable juice to provide your body

with all nutrients it needs on a daily basis

it increased alkalinity. It is said disease cannot thrive in an

alkaline body and I have always believed that and especially

since I read Dr. Broady’s book Alkaline or Die book some 15

years ago.

Have a juicing plan for YOU – so that you can plan once a

week to make the juice – put in hermetic sealed glass jar

and it will be ok from Sunday through Thursday –or you can

put in 6 oz. mason jars in freezer for a week. You have

choices here and work out whatever is best for your life

style. There is always a choice and always options,

Know that juicing vegetables is the fastest way to get

nutrients into your bloodstream and keep your cells fed well

with as much nutrients as possible.

Fruit does not have the high alkaline value that greens and

vegetables have so be as informed as possible.

There are many types of juicers, many types of blenders and

other types of expensive juicers but I like my vita mixer and

love it because it is probably medium priced juicer

One of the things you must remember everyday is that your

cells and organs MUST be fed well on a daily basis and in

this blog is where you learn how to do that with love, joy

and peace

YOU and Vaccines

I do not know anyone who believes there should be no vaccines.

But, there are more and more Doctors and researchers who

believe it should be limited to a few very good non-threatening

vaccines.

But there is a vaccine injury compensation program for a reason.

Very difficult to even get a hearing before the court.

Dr. Blaylock has talked about vaccines and their side-effects and

also about excitotoxins in processed foods but today I will be

talking about the interview between Dr. Blaylock, a neurosurgeon

and expert on excitotoxins and the brain.

Dr. Blaylock’s books are:

Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills

Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients.

And Dr. Blaylock wrote an introduction to Neil Z. Miller’s “The

Vaccine Safety Manual.”

MMR vaccines can be split into the 3 separate shots for babies.

When my grandson was born I suggested that to my daughter-in-

law at the time and thank goodness she did see that the doctor

gave my only grandson 3 separate shots that are the 3 in 1 MMR.

The CDC states on its website that the MMR and pertussis

vaccines can cause permanent brain damage.

The flu vaccine is what most of the people have in this country as

they age. I have not had a flu vaccine for almost 30 years – and

never have a bad bout of the flu in those years either.

Some flu shot formulations contain brain-destroying toxins.

Here are some of the substances that may be added to flu

vaccines:

Aluminum

Antibiotics

Egg protein

Formaldehyde

Monosodium glutamate

Mercury

CDC says that these are necessary to keep vaccines safe and

effective

All vaccines carry a risk of provoking an acute adverse reaction.

Vaccines are immune suppressive-they suppress the immune

systems.

Some components in vaccines are neurotoxic and may cause

immune and brain dysfunction, particularly heavy metals such as

mercury preservatives and aluminum adjuvants.

Vaccines may alter your t-cell function and lead you to become

chronically ill.

The flu shot is an individual choice. I do not believe anything

medically should be mandatory and especially shots. It should be

up to the individual.

I work on a daily basis to take care of my own health and work on

my nutrition and exercise to keep me healthy.

Here is Dr. Mercola recipe for staying away from flu and staying in

a healthy state:

Optimize your Vitamin D levels

Avoid sugar, fructose and processed foods

Get enough rest

Have effective tools to address stress

Exercise

Good source of Omega-3 fats

Wash your hands-I use natural bar soap.

Use natural antibiotics: colloidal silver, oil of oregano, and garlic.

Avoid hospitals.

Hope all the above has helped in making a wise decision for

getting the flu vaccines over the years.

Stay healthy

Age healthy

YOU and The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal

Freedom

Don Miguel Ruiz

YOUR spirituality is the foundation for YOUR everything.

I have a strong spiritual life- and I am sure you do also but today’s

the blog is about accepting YOURself and others as we are and

“letting go of the rest”.

Mr. Ruiz shares the first four Toltec Words of Wisdom. Core

beliefs that either run or ruin your life and the ancient Toltec’s

understood this part of human nature well.

This book is spiritual in the way that, not only the Toltec’s lived by

these philosophies but it is wonderful today to live by the 4

agreements:

Be impeccable to your word

Do not take anything personally

Do not make assumptions

Always do your best

I try to live by those 4 agreements or statements and appreciate

Mr. Ruiz’s book so I can pick it up and read it over and over.

For myself, I will add one more statement that I try to live by, and

that is Jesus basic tenant of: Do unto others as you would have

them do unto you.

One of the things most important is not to let other people drama

and chaos wear on your psyche and cause you to behave

negatively as a result.

Re-Wire YOUR thoughts into just WHO you want to Be-I believe

when my childhood family died within 2-1/2 years I allowed my

mind and thoughts to become depressed and it took me 10 years

to re-wire back to my normal thoughts.

Be stronger on a daily basis

Do not be passive on issues important to you

Be courageous

Step out in your faith to fulfill your life

Have JOY

Do not accept anything less

Pray/Meditate

Take time to be at one with the universal GOD

Exercise all that your have

Body, Spirit and Mind

Encourage/Empower SELF

YOU will do it best only by Self talk, reading and learning

Eckhart Tolle wrote a book: “Stillness Speaks”

I love the stillness I can find each day. I am quiet, have

everything electronic away from me. I usually go out on my deck

and sit and meditate/pray.

Here are some quotes from the book:

“True intelligence operates silently: Stillness is where creativity

and solutions to problems are found.”

“Every though pretends that it matters so much.”

“Is life every ‘not this moment’?”

“sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and

becoming comfortable with not knowing.

“Love does not want or fear anything.”

Build YOUR library, so you can pass it down, to your

grandchildren. They will not appreciate all these wonderful

authors until their later years but it is YOUR legacy to them a

library for them and their children

Oh, how we love to talk about our emotions. But, I believe you

may need to know about what researchers in Finland have

compiled and the first authoritative atlas of “body maps” that

detail where we feel emotions. You can now know that happiness

actually makes us feel tingly all over, that sadness is felt in the

heart, and that depression is characterized by an all-over

numbness. It would seem idioms such as a chest puffed with

pride, or cold feet, are very much seated in physiological reality.

YOU know that emotions are linked to physiological changes –

nervousness and sweaty palms, shame and a hot head/cheeks,

fear and a racing heart – but this study, carried out by Lauri

Nummenmaa and friends are exciting because it uses a very large

the pool of participants – 700 people from Finland, Sweden, and

Taiwan – and is controlled by nationality and language, in other

words, despite differences in language and culture, it seems that

all humans have a very similar, genetically idiom tells us to pride

really does make your face and torso feel good.

The researchers hope that, with continued study, these maps may

help with diagnosing and treating emotional disorders.
Each emotion triggers a very specific and unique physiological

response. Happiness and love are the only emotions that

increase sensation below the waist. That is interesting and we all

know that is true from our loves over our lifetimes. Sadness

decreases the feeling of everything, except for the heart and parts

of the fee. Depression is an all-over lack of sensation. It is

starting to see shame’s intense increase of sensation in the head

and cheeks, fluttering heart and stomach, and numbness of legs

so accurately depicted. Now we just need to work out WHY and

HOW each emotion triggers such a physiological response?

Let me list the Primary, secondary and tertiary emotions that are

Categorized into a short tree structure

Love

Affection – adoration, love, caring, sentimentality

Lust – arousal, desire, lust, passion

Longing – longing

Joy

Cheerfulness – amusement, bliss, joy, ecstasy

Zest – zeal, excitement, thrill

Contentment – pleasure

Pride – triumph

Optimism – hope, optimism

Relief – relief

Surprise

Surprise – astonishment

Anger

Irritation – annoyance

Exasperation – frustration

Rage – resentment, dislike

Envy – jealousy

Torment – torment

Sadness

Suffering – hurt

Sadness – depression

Disappointment – displeasure

Shame – remorse, regret

Neglect – isolation, neglect

Sympathy – pity, sympathy

Fear

Horror – shock, horror, terror, panic

Nervousness – anxiety, worry, tenseness

There is new research from the Institute of Neuroscience and

Psychology at the University of Glasgow that says the range of

human emotion may be a little closer to a teaspoon than

previously thought.

Four basic emotions, according to this study; happy, sad,

afraid/surprised, and angry/disgusted.

From these 2 research that is above – can group as seen into

smaller groups,

One of my favorite authors is Gerald G. Jampolsky who wrote

“Love is Letting go of Fear” which is an amazing book – little as it

is but had a profound effect on my when I read it in the 1980s.

So, to get down to the basics of our emotions –Love is letting go

of Fear is probably a great little book to read. The research

above is always good to know and understand also.

What do YOU suppose the difference is between YOU

being negative and around negative people OR

YOU being positive and around positive people.

The best way to approach YOUR life is to try to stay away

from negative people; whether they are family or friends stay

away from them and if you find yourself around those kind of

people please smile, be as positive as possible, and do not

fall into their pattern of behavior because they will want YOU to

agree and just nodding your head verifies their mind-set.

Be at YOUR best – be at your most positive mind-set.

Stay away from people who are possessed with just a small

Thought process. Narrow thinking makes people zero in on

negativity – they are not self-aware because they are needy,

all about managing others to their way of thinking. They have

no idea about the WHOLE person-mind, body and spirit. At this

blog and in my life I want YOU to be the most: Self-aware person

you know so that you can help others in a more positive and

productive way that they need from YOU.

Be kind, be helpful, be positive, be happy, be loving, be generous

and YOU will see YOUR whole life change in super wonderful

ways.

Learn and read from the wonderful books that are available to

you. The only way I feel wonder at 74 years of age is because

my mind is open for learning from others that have gone before

me.

What does YOUR

LIFE EXPECT FROM YOU?

One of my favorite authors and researchers is Immanuel

Velikovsky – he wrote, and you should read his writings, because

It is about YOUR history that is now only beginning to be

Understood and coming to the forefront of the WORLD. But,

Because of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky and his research of decades

And his writing we are now learning of the real World History.

But he paid the price because they are people who do not want

us to be SELF-AWARE, or be OUR BEST, or be the MOST

POSITIVE, and to know that the past may be the key to YOUR

present.

YOU will never know what LIFE EXPECTS FROM YOU until

YOU TRULY KNOW SELF AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF SELF-

Not other self’s but of YOURSELF.

Never settle – in your personal life, in your professional life, in

your family life, or in your friend’s life.

Professor Velikovsky gave up a wonderful life because he would

not settle, would not cave-in, would not give up on the truths that

he knew would change the world thinking of their history.

In 1950 he already knew from his research there. There were

some approximately 40 predictions that he made that the

academic scholars-so-called but not really said different than

Professor Velikovsky.

Be a Professor Velikovsky – see your higher-self, see that

what life expects from YOU, never settle for people around YOU

that are negative, that are needy, that are negative vampires.

BE POSITIVE, BE SELF-AWARE,

LEARN WHAT LIFE EXPECTS FROM YOU

YOU will only learn when YOUR MIND, BODY and SPIRIT are

In balance and working on it daily for the rest of your life.

Are you nurturing the spiritual side of SELF?

Always be the best YOU can be – that will lift you to the next level

Of YOUR spiritual life.

However, you do that is ok for YOU but we will go through

some things that might lift you up to another level or break

down the walls of any boxes you have built up around YOUR

Spiritual side.

Trying smiling MORE

Try having good intentions,

Try being positive

Try thinking good thoughts

Items that may help you lift up YOUR spiritual SELF to the next

level;

Healthier choices – in food, relationships, professional life

Favorable changes in relationships

Good financial behavior

Others notice YOUR changes

Increased mindfulness – easier to get things done

Improved level of well-being – improvement at work

Improved and less time-consuming recovery from

unpleasant events

Improved response to pleasant events – more productive

Not overly attached to things

More fully present and engaged – in the zone

More content with who you are and what you have

More empowered to be your authentic self

Empower SELF – Empower SELF – Empower SELF

Be grateful every day for everything –put any negatives

that may come up for the day. Life can have dramatic and

tragedies and trauma. They are coming to all of us – those

traumas and tragedies.

What is in YOUR tool box to deal with the traumas and

tragedies that come into all our lives.

Use all the tools in YOUR toolbox:

Meditate

Prayer

Yoga

Quiet place

Dinner with family and friends

Exercise

Start a project and finish the project as YOUR goal.

Plan to do YOUR bucket list

Write in your journal

YOUR life patterns that show how YOU deal with tragedies

And trauma in your life are characteristics that come from

YOUR own life’s patterns:

It is easy, as we go through life, to pick up negative habits

that when real life tragedies and traumas come our way

Nurture SELF during the difficult times in YOUR life. Use

All of your tools in your toolbox. Pamper SELF, meditate

And sit quietly and be thankful for YOU.

The only way YOU can nurture SELF is by SELF

But in YOUR lifetime there will be those times when

You need to step it up for YOUR benefit and not go

Into depression or have anxiety.

Nurturing SELF 95% of the time is what YOU need to do

so in the down times that come with trauma and tragedies

YOUR toolbox will be there for you, and will be YOUR best

friend and ally in YOUR life.

YOU are a super person who has a super mind that needs

to be nurtured while you are living in this beautiful life.

HANDLE YOUR LIFE AND YOURSELF WITH TENDER

LOVING CARE – ALWAYS.

Sometimes be stronger than today

Sometimes have more courage than today

Sometimes be more grateful than today

Glow within and glow without – smile with that glow

This is all about nurturing YOUR spirit

Coronary calcium is a good indicator of heart attack risk since it

measures the amount of calcium, one of the components that can

build up in plaques that narrow heart vessels and can rupture and

cause heart attacks.

Plaque builds up can cause terrible effects on your health but

Eating healthy from a young age – and can slow your energy

Down, cause heart attacks.

Those eating 7 – 9 servings of vegetables and fruit a day on average were 25 % less to have coronary calcium in their arteries

There are several things that I have done over the years that have

Helped clean plaque out of my vessels and that is:

I have flossed my teeth for 35 years now once a day

I have taken L-arginine

L-arginine is a type of amino acid, and as we know, amino acids are the “building blocks” of proteins.

L-arginine is considered somewhat essential because it is highly important for many functions and I will list the benefits of L-arginine:

Stimulates growth hormones and insulin that help usher glucose into cells to be used for growth and energy output.

Enhances physical performance, stamina, and strength

Fight inflammation

Lowering risk for arteriosclerosis and heart attack

Repairing blood vessels

Fighting congestive heart failure

Help lower high blood pressure

Improving athletic performance

Increase immune function

Improve kidney function

Reduce muscle pains

Improve mental capacity

Fighting dementia

Preventing common cold

Correcting impotence

L-arginine is needed by the endothelial cells in order to form enough nitric oxide to keep blood flowing freely.

Listed below are 5 ways L-arginine helps the body:

improves heart health

Lowers inflammation and fights the effects of aging.

Boosts exercise performance

improves immunity. Helps prevent infections and speeds up

healing

helps treat erectile dysfunction and infertility

Some of the best natural sources of L-arginine includes:

Cage-free eggs

Dairy products-cultured yogurt, kefir, raw organic cheese

Grass fed beef

Liver and organ meats

Wild caught fish

Sesame seeds

Pumpkin seeds

Sunflower seeds

Seaweed and sea vegetables

Spirulina

Brazil nuts

Walnuts

Almonds

Coconut meat

Everything about YOU – your mind, body, and spirit are

interacting every minute of every day of your life. The more

You know about all YOU – the more you will age healthy and

live life until you die.

Each of us had our own childhood – whatever our socioeconomic

Status was.

My mother always had:

Meat

Potatoes

Salad

Desert

I grew up on that food-mother never had a vegetable garden

because we lived in a city.

I do believe strongly that people who were raised on farms and

had gardens and chickens or pigs or beef are probably in better

health than my family and aged healthy.

For 35 years I have been doing preventive for SELFhood.

Everything I talk about on this website I have probably done over

these 35 years to age healthily.

The end product of YOUR life is JOY for all the:

Here are a couple of quotes from my wonderful people:

Find a place inside where there is joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

Joseph Campbell

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative afford

Franklin D. Roosevelt

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken JOY in creative expression and knowledge

Albert Einstein

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves

Buddha

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; it is loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness’

John Keats

Joy is prayer; joy is strength; joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Mother Teresa

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

Helen Keller

YOUR joy will be different from anyone else’s JOY because of YOUR uniqueness

Love and Forgiveness = JOY

Love SELF

Forgive SELF

Have JOY

Love Dr. Leo Buscaglia

Today, this blog will be about Dr. Buscaglia and what wonderful

work he did in making it ok to internalize and externalize LOVE

And how important it is in each of us and to extend to our

the outer world of family, friends and to everyone we come in

contact with.

I never met the man but came across his Book LOVE in the

The 1980s when I was starting to develop to see who I was

because until then I had been controlled by parents, husband, and

society and the environment. I needed to know ME – SELFhood.

Dr. Buscaglis/’s theory is that love is learned and that everyone

can and should learn to love. Love SELF first and then out into

the universe. But, there are people with negative energy and

needy, dramatic and chaos people you need to stay away from.

Below are some wonderful quotes from Dr. Buscaglia:

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your

Gift back to GOD.

Now, that is what my podcast and book are about:

“What Does Life expect from YOU?”

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the Strong.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate-

It is apathy. It is not giving a damn.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

Biologically and physiologically, we are not equal. Some of us learn better at different times of the day. Some learn best visually, some auditorially, some tactilely, by touching.

If I don’t have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

Do not brood. Get on with living and loving. You do not have forever.

What love we are given, we will have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

One of my favorites:

The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Do not let them put you in that position.

From ME: SELFhood is what he is talking about. YOUR uniqueness.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

I love reading reviews of books and reading the reviews of Dr.

Buscaglia’s books are uplifting and motivational in their own

right.

One reviewer talks about his anger which has haunted him his

Whole life and that this one little book has helped him so much.

He still has anger issues but it is helping him in his daily life.

To me, this book is about loving firstly SELF-so you can go out

Into the world and love others not intimately always – but letting

People know you love them by your speech, actions, and loving

attitude
