Get Health without Nasty Side Effects

The body is full of rhythms, when healthy. The heartbeat, the breath, and circulation all provide pulsing rhythms. Like Morse code these rhythms convey meaning. For example the heart beat gets erratic when someone is frightened.

Researcher Michael Thaut, Ph.D., who heads the Center for Biomedical research at Colorado State University, has been using musical therapy to aid stroke victims. He says, "The brain's motor system has a strong capacity to use rhythm as a time keeper to guide and organize physical functions. Those who listen to 30 minutes of music during rehab showed improvements in their ability to walk faster and steadier."  The rhythms of music entrain the rhythms of the body!

In 2001 the Cleveland Clinic found that music lowered stress levels and in young cancer patients built up their immune systems. A client's comment cements this idea: "I really got into it. The sound entered my mind and soul, so that every part of me was filled with energy. I visualized the cancer disappearing. At the same time I used visual imagery to rid myself of the stress in my body, to find peace and harmony, and to find a way to love myself. Then it was like a cleansing that came over me."

According to a study by the Journey of Advanced Nursing people who listened to music an hour a day reduced their chronic pain by 20 percent. It is not surprising that patients notice the impact of healing music and sounds. 

Experimental studies are confirming the effectiveness of music and sound: "Several major physiological systems responded to the simple act of giving the mind a focus (such as sound or music): the metabolism decreased, the heart rate slowed, respiratory rate decreased, and there were distinctive brain waves." ~ Cardiologist Herbert Benson, M.D. Head of the Behavioral Medicine Department and Mind/Body Medical Institute.

it really isnt very hard. all it takes is one word. there are certain power words in our language, that nearly always have the same effect on people. i have discovered that there is a word that always makes people smile and/or laugh. as a former player of Dungeons and Dragons, i call it Power Word: Amusement. are you brave enough to receive this wizard lore, this word of power? can you handle the responsibility of such arcane secrets? prepare yourself then, for this word who's power i have discovered is:

"Poop."

I just wanted to share a link to a Time Exchange Community here in Austin.  I think its a great concept....it's like banking (depositing) our time into a bank for use of equal use of time from someone else.  i.e.:

I'm an accountant and I need a carpenter.

the carpenter may not need an accountant but I can donate (deposit in the bank) an hour of my time for an hour of the carpenters time that he has donated (or deposited in the bank).

so because I've offered my service and deposited the time in hours to my account.  I then can use my time saved in my account for equal time need to fulfil my needs with another person who has done the same. 

Anyway...folks have been getting creative in living in alignment with Mother Nature and I can visualize a society where we offer our services in trade.

i have with me a quartz crystal approximately the size of the last joint of my thumb, who has been with me since i was about 8 years old (im 26 now). a few years ago when i learned they were alive and conscious i began my attempts at communication with it. ive taken to calling it Crystal Friend, and it seems pleased with the name. Crystal Friend has helped me in some powerful healings of my body, and many, many energetic clearings. my question to you all is, what do crystals like? hot water and charging in sun/moonlight, sure, but i want to do right by my crystal friend, who's helped me so much so many times.

In light of December 21st 2012 hype, world disasters and world peace.. I never thought the world would end on 12-21-13 although I'll admit I had hoped  some more of the drastic peaceful hype by many new agers would have manifested a little more apparently......I was somewhat disappointed more drastic changes for the better didn't take place, however, after some consideration and some studying of world issues as a whole I believe many including myself also believe the globe as a whole has and is beginning to become more unified and positive in many ways...if you consider, for instance, just decades ago women were once not even considered full citizens, blacks were not even treated as human beings and the Nazis were successful at exterminating approximately 2/3 of the Jews living in Europe, and much more..Then consider that a short time later we have a black President, a woman who ran for president, native Americans being handed out money from the very Government whos ancestors practically exterminated them hundreds of years ago..heroes uniting all over the world to benefit the sick and oppressed, laws prohibiting racism or sexism, medical phenomenon like St. jude going from terminating cancer in 4% of certain kinds of cancer in children to curing 94% of child cases in that very same cancer despite whether you have medical insurance to pay I'd say things are looking up :) :) call me an optimist, idealist or idiot but I like to look on the bright side of life.. Sometimes it may not  seem all that bright with things like the Boston bombing and Connecticut elementary school massacre (horrible to comprehend) but, believe it or not, many things have improved quite drastically in a relatively short amount of time.. We obviously still have a long way to go as far as world peace..but, relatively speaking , things have improved in many ways surprisingly drastically...
