Relentless Karma and What to Do About It 

DateMonday, February 8, 2010 at 12:53PM

By Jonathan PArker, Ph.D.

Karma is a word that has a lot of charge for some people. I know a person who is adamant he doesn't believe in karma. He says he's looked into it for years and has figured out that it is all an illusion. It seems to me that he would like to deny its existence and just wish it away with a new label. I have known others who got upset at hearing the word karma in a spiritual conversation because that word is not in the Bible. Never mind that; there are many words not mentioned in the Bible like oxygen for instance, but they are sure glad it is in the air they breathe.

Karma is not a word anyone needs to fear, but it is a word that is helpful to understand. The word karma is derived from the Sanskrit KRI, "To Do." The word also means the effects of thoughts, words and actions, and it also means the effects of our past actions which were the causes. Another way of looking at karma is that karma is energy in motion. The Bible does say we reap what we sow and since that is an aspect of karma, I think it is fair to say that karma is in the Bible in principle if not in name. All of our thoughts, feelings and actions create and set in motion energy patterns which create effects. I think that is really just an observation not a religious issue. The form and direction of what has been set in motion continues until another force changes the motion or the energy dissipates. That is karma in a nutshell.

Defining Homeopathy

DateFriday, February 5, 2010 at 04:11PM

By Chris Haycock

Treating disease by way of homeopathy isn't a new procedure. In actual fact, in many European countries it is no longer labeled "alternative" medicine. In France, as an example, over 30% of general practitioners prescribe homeopathic products. In The UK, the number is well over 40%.

Although homeopathy is not as popular in America, it continues to acquire increasing respect within the medical community and has supplied many Americans an alternative type of self- care.

What are the benefits? Quite simply, homeopathic remedies provide an organic approach to healthcare. Its healing strategy places its emphasis on the ability of your own body to cure itself. Homeopathic remedies are pure, successful, economical and are minus unintended side effects.

Technology and the Mind of the Future

DateMonday, January 25, 2010 at 03:47PM

By Tim Brunson

Discoveries in the area of neuroplasticity over the past few decades have highlighted the ability for our minds to influence the structure of our brains. Scientists from around the globe have discovered that our experiences will affect how we are neurologically organized. While surgery, medications, and the various forms of psychotherapy, to including hypnosis, have their effects, our existence in an environment of exponentially rapid technological growth is becoming a major factor in the future direction of our minds and the history of humanity. Our electronic "toys" not only affect our professional and social lives. They also impact on how we remember, think, and imagine.

In a very few short decades we have experienced a revolution as the rate of technological innovation has grown seemingly out of control. I vividly remember one evening in Germany where I was performing a tour as our battalion's Staff Duty Officer. The year was 1980. Upon visiting a squad room in headquarters company, I came upon a young soldier, who had recently arrived from the States. He was sitting at his desk intensely looking at the screen of a small TV hooked up to a 4K Tandy computer. I was amazed. At that time my most sophisticated tech device was an expensive TI four-function calculator. Yet today with our smart homes, iPods, Web-enabled, multimedia cell phones, and our 24/7 access to the Internet, the way we think, remember, and communicate has drastically changed.

Don't quit smoking because you should; quit because you want to. 

DateSaturday, January 16, 2010 at 12:46PM

Smoking is an unhealthy, dirty habit that causes terrible illnesses, including lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema. Smoking is expensive, and many smokers would be far better off saving the money they spend on tobacco, or using it for other good purposes. Smoking is socially frowned upon. Smoking is a sign of immaturity and weakness.

Every smoker knows these arguments, and every smoker falls into the trap of using them as reasons to quit smoking.

But they are the wrong reasons, and if you use any of them to try to motivate yourself to quit, you will probably fail.

By Don G Asmus

Writers of funny top ten lists are well-aware that the characteristics of our audience largely determine whether or not a list will be considered funny. Therefore, it seems appropriate to take a brief look at the most important audience characteristic of all: males versus females.

Boys will be boys.

Biologically, men and women have one primary function: reproduction. Although the ways in which we actually conduct our reproductive roles may not appeal to everyone's civilized sensibilities, the following well-accepted facts accurately describe the roles that men and women are instinctively compelled to play.

By Colleen Trombley

Are you overwhelmed by the thought of starting an exercise program? Not sure where to begin? From the wellness perspective, the entire point of exercising is to meet your body's innate genetic requirements for movement. We were born to move! Motion is life. This doesn't necessarily mean that we were born to lift weights or run marathons or do wind sprints or do yoga or Pilates! Movement doesn't need to be labeled... it just needs to be done.

Lead in Our Food? Now, THAT is a Heavy Meal!

DateTuesday, January 5, 2010 at 03:41PM

By Ladd McNamara

The heavy metal lead is naturally found in the earth; in rocks, soil, rivers, lakes, seawater, and even the air (dust). It has no taste or smell. It is the heaviest of all non-radioactive metals. It is found in virtually everything you eat, drink, and breathe. During the Twentieth Century the earth became "coated" in a layer of lead due to the mining and burning of fossil fuels and combustion of leaded gasoline. Fortunately, over the last 30 years efforts to reduce lead contamination have accelerated. In a perfect world we would not be exposed to lead at all, as there is no use for lead by the human body. High lead exposure may lead to neurological damage and high

DateMonday, January 4, 2010 at 05:05PM

By Cliff Kuhn, M.D.

We've all heard, haven't we, that a 40-year-old was considered elderly in the past? With America's aging population, why wouldn't we take advantage of reasons to count ourselves lucky to live beyond 40? After all, as little as 200 years ago the average life span in North America was 37 years. But the idea that anyone over 40 back then is a misinterpretation of statistical data. I'll explain why in a moment...

Natural medicine is a hot topic. There are more than enough websites, newsletters, and products offering solutions to your ailments to keep you busy for a year investigating them. The advent of the Internet has made it easier than ever to research and try alternative or adjunctive treatments.

Walk While You Work? The Natural Way to Healthy Living.

DateTuesday, December 29, 2009 at 09:23PM

Dr. James Levine’s Concept of a Treadmill Workstation May Not be a Patent-Pending Money Miracle, But the Concept Pays Off for Companies Seeking Productivity


Correspondent Derek Armstrong

Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic invented the "Treadmill Desk” to help the one third of Americans estimated to be obese. In various studies, obesity can drive health care costs up by as much as $100 billion per year. Walking away the pounds only makes sense.

“If sitting is to blame,” Dr. Levine said, “then standing has to be the solution.” Dr. Levine proposed that a slow walk – while at work on a “standing/ walking desk” – at no more than 1 mph could result in 40 pounds or more in weight loss per year, together with substantial health and cardiovascular fitness benefits. The upside also included increased productivity, lowered depression and less downtime for employees.



Some interesting facts from Dr. Levine’s findings:

7 Feng Shui Fundamentals For Children's Bedrooms

DateTuesday, December 29, 2009 at 05:10PM

By Kathryn Webe

Feng shui is a very popular and intriguing concept in home design today. In addition to the life benefits it provides, it also offers a roadmap, so to speak, of not just how to decorate... but why. In short, it offers you, the homeowner, design with purpose. For a child's room this purposeful design is especially important.

Feng shui gives parents a guide for decorating your children's bedrooms, and perhaps more importantly, a reason for adding particular elements -- something standard decorating practices don't always offer. What does that mean exactly? Well, when it comes to a child's

Feng Shui and Plant Theory

DateMonday, December 28, 2009 at 04:33PM

By Allan Wu

Any plant or tree is considered the Wood element in Feng Shui according to its Five-Element theory. Feng Shui recommends using live plants to rectify any imbalance within the home that is related to the Wood element. It is said that a plant has a central nervous system and can absorb as well as alter the flow of chi in a room.

If the front door and the back door are aligned it could cause the residents of the house to be unhealthy and have problems in saving their money. A live plant placed between the entrance and the exit could buffer the flow of chi. This would in turn make the residents healthier and allow them to save more easily.

Use Feng Shui to Balance the Effects of Winter

DateMonday, December 28, 2009 at 12:38PM

Winter always seems to say... quiet down, rest, and go inward, deep, deeper. Examine the strength and mystery within yourself. It's time now to refrain from the frantic, rush, rush, rush and assess what is really important!

Prioritize and get on tract.

In Feng Shui energy talk, the Water element signified by the color black or dark blue is at its zenith. The Water element is also known as the winter element since it is so prevalent during this time. Its direction is north. This is a yin element and the number associated with it is the number one (1).
