"Our subconscious minds have no sense of humour, play no jokes and
cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image.
What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives." ~ Sidney Madwed
The problem
isn’t that “All the world’s a stage”; the problem is that all the actors are
amateurs without scripts.
You may not remember what you said to someone
yesterday, but the one you said it to may remember it for a lifetime.
The persons that seem to be the strongest, are the
ones who are most weak.
The persons that always defend others, are the ones who most need your help.
The persons that spend most their time visiting others, are the ones who most
need your company.
The persons that spend most of the time helping others, are the ones who most
need help.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times
we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which
has been opened for us.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that
fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make
a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. Dream what
you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because
you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May
you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest
of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make
the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go
forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

WHO WE REALLY ARE By
I heard the sweetest, most
beautiful, and most delightful sound the other day. It warmed my heart, brought
a smile to my lips, and filled my soul with joy when I heard it. It was the
glorious sound of children laughing, playing, running, and singing. It was
beautiful music to my ears and a wonderful reminder of who we really are in
this life.
All too often I think
we forget who we really are in this life. We get so caught up in our struggles,
conflicts, hatreds, judgments, and troubles that we stop seeing who we really
are and why we are really here. We get so wrapped up in the pain, fear and
darkness that are sometimes in this life that we forget the joy, love, and
light that dwells within each of our hearts and souls.
Who are we really then? We are
more than just these bodies that we walk around in. We are more than just these
random thoughts that fill our minds. We are more than just the reactions and
feelings that come upon us all day long. We are instead glorious creations of
God capable of so much goodness, peace, and happiness. We are spreaders of
delight to sad minds. We are sharers of joy to lonely hearts. We are givers of
love to weakened souls. We are magical human beings creating smiles and
laughter wherever we go. We are angels in disguise giving messages of God’s
love to everyone in the world. We are beings of light casting out the darkness
of the world with our bright, shining souls. We are Children of God letting His
peace, love, and joy come through our every thought, feeling, and action. We
are miracles of life and love making the world a better place just by being in
it. We are wondrous souls living the way we were meant to live. We are all
these things and even more. It is up to us, however, to remember who we really
are and why we are really here. It is up to us to be what God always meant for
us to be.

Hair Growing Soup
According to Helen Lee in her book "The Tao
of Beauty," you can eat your way to great hair.
Her Black Sesame Seed Soup can be eaten as a snack
or even for dessert and supposedly provides skin and hair benefits. Helen Lee
says the ingredients should be purchased fresh from your nearest Chinese
grocer.
1 cup of
uncooked long-grain white rice
1 cup of
black sesame seeds
1
tablespoon of sugar, or to your own tastes
Wash and drain the rice and the sesame seeds in
separate containers. Stir-fry the sesames seeds in a dry skillet over low heat
for approximately 5 minutes or until the heat releases their fragrance. Be
careful to not let them burn.
Grind the rice and toasted seeds with 1/4 cup of
water in a blender or food processor. Pour
the mixture plus an additional 1 3/4 cups of water into a medium-sized saucepan.
Cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring often to avoid
burning. Add sugar as desired to taste.
Hair Growing Soups notwithstanding, if you're
having hair loss problems and also drinking distilled water, there may be a
connection between the two. Details at:

4. Wild Trivia
ABOUT GETTING OLDER
First, eventually you will reach
a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second, the older we get, the
fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third, some people try to
turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look
this way. I've travelled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth, when you are
dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth, you know you are
getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth, I don't know how I
got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh, one of the many
things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being
young.
Eighth, one must wait until
evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth, being young is
beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth, long ago when men
cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called
golf.
And finally, if you
don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when
you're old.
From The Timothy
Report,
Stay Bright Eyed
Did you know parsley
water is recommended for eliminating sties and general puffiness around the
eyes?
The trick is to place a
handful of fresh parsley in s soup bowl, then pour a coup of boiling water over
the parsley and let it steep for 10 minutes.
After soaking a
washcloth in the water, lie down and place the washcloth over your troubled
eyes. Leave it on your closed lids while you relax for 10 minutes.
Do this in the morning
and repeat the procedure just before bedtime.
Home Remedies that Always Work
This Little Piggy
Health Sciences Institute e-Alert
Are you one of the millions of people who suffer
from onychomycosis? That's pronounced: onako-my-kosis. And if it doesn't have a
catchy ring to it, it's far more appealing than calling it what it really is:
toenail fungus.
Not pretty, but what can you do? This common
problem affects more than 12 million Americans. And many HSI members too,
judging from the numerous postings on the HSI Forum that have addressed this
annoying health problem.
Recently, a member named Bill posted this typical
question: "Does anyone know of a non-prescription way to clear up toenail
fungus?"
The key phrase here is "non-prescription,"
because one of the ironies of this condition is that it's not harmful to your
overall health, but the drugs used to address it definitely can be. You may
have seen the TV commercial for a toenail fungus medication in which a cartoon
fungus spore lifts up a toenail and burrows in under the nail where he and his fungus
friends wreak havoc. It's an uncomfortable image, but that's about how it
works. When your bare feet are exposed to damp conditions in public areas -
such as locker rooms or swimming pools - a fungus called trichophyton rubrum
can slip in under a toenail and begin growing. Damaged nails are most
susceptible, and people who have immune system disorders, diabetes or a history
of athlete's foot are particularly vulnerable.
Toenail fungus can be unsightly, but it doesn't
hurt, and except for extreme cases it doesn't create any health problems. But
once a nail is infected, the fungus can spread to other nails, including
fingernails, so it's a good idea to treat it early, before it grows out of
control.
Some of those toenail fungus commercials will lead
you to believe that medication is the only way to treat the problem, but don't
you believe it. And, as I said above, the side effects for those medications
are far worse than the fungus. They include headaches, nausea, rashes and even
blood disorders. Liver damage is also enough of a danger that patients taking
these drugs need to have their liver function tested during the medication
period, which can take up to a year or more. That's because toenails only grow
a couple of millimetres each month, and the healing progresses at the same slow
speed - whether you use a prescription or natural methods.
One of the most common natural treatments for
toenail fungus is tea tree oil, which is discussed at length on the HSI Forum.
A member named
Another recommendation is the good old fashioned
topical antibiotic iodine for toenail fungus, specifically potassium iodide
(SSKI)." Dr. Wright has written many times about how SSKI can inhibit or
kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, and he highly recommends it in combination
with DMSO for treating toenail fungus.
But SSKI use comes with a couple of warnings. Very
few people are allergic to iodine, but those who are should avoid its use in
any form, including SSKI. Iodine can also suppress thyroid function when taken
for long periods of time. So to be on the safe side, consult with your doctor
or a naturopathic healthcare professional before using SSKI. Those with thyroid
conditions need to take special care in monitoring thyroid function while using
this treatment.
And then there's the sock problem. If you apply
SSKI to your toes and then put on socks, the iodine may stain the fabric with
an orangey-brown colour. So if the appearance of your socks is a concern, take
care to reduce contact with toes that are freshly treated with SSKI.
SSKI sometimes requires a prescription, but may be
available without one in some compounding pharmacies and health food stores.
There are a couple of things you can do to help
prevent onychomycosis from ever getting started. If your feet are regularly exposed
to damp conditions, avoid using nail polish, which can help trap moisture
beneath the nails. Keeping your feet clean and dry also helps, as does changing
your socks or hosiery daily.
And by all means, at the first sign of toenail
discoloration, flaking or deterioration, begin treatment immediately and you
may avoid spending the next year with your feet smelling like oregano.

Understanding
the mystery of Hiccups.
Hiccups are those irritating little
contractions of your abdominal muscles. The muscles are trying to crush some
unwelcome air bubbles that invaded your stomach. Think about it, they always
occur after you haven't eaten for a while, your mouth is watering, so you grab
a bite of food, then unfortunately you begin to hiccup. Some people are lucky
they can just belch. How can you help your belly muscles destroy those pesky
air bubble invaders? Well, here is all you have to do: Place one or two
teaspoons of plain sugar in your mouth, swallowing as the sugar dissolves, a
sip or two of water is permissible only after you have swallowed the dissolved
sugar. In less than two or three minutes, your belly muscles will win the
battle, no more hiccups, and please begin eating on a regular schedule.
CAUTION: If your physician has told you to stay away from sugar, then do not
use this hiccup curing process. This is only for those hiccupped who can
tolerate the consumption of sugar.

The Healing
Power of Honey
By Elizabeth Cole,
author of 101 Things To Do With Honey!
Apitherapy, the
treatment of various conditions using honeybee products, has been around a long
time. Honey is one of the oldest medicines we have, with proof of its healing
power dating back more than 5000 years. Even Hippocrates found that honey
"cleans sores and ulcers of the lips, heals carbuncles and running
sores."
It has been a staple
ingredient of folk medicines throughout the ages and now, it is even gaining credibility
with current medical and scientific communities. British researchers have
proven that applying raw honey to fresh wounds prevents infection as well as any
medication and often eliminates the need for antibiotics. They have also
learned that honey-treated cuts and scrapes heal quicker than those treated
with medicated ointments.
Other researchers have
found that honey can alleviate asthma, calm nerves and induce sleep, ease pain
and relieve diarrhoea.
Raw honey can be a
valuable part of your "First Aid Kit," here's a few suggestions:
Bee Stings: Dab on a
bit of honey immediately. It helps draw the stinger out, eases the pain and
neutralizes poisons.
Blisters: Combine 1
tsp. honey, 1 tsp. Aloe Vera gel and
10 drops lavender oil.
Dab on blister, cover with bandage. Change bandage and repeat 2 to 3 times per
day.
Burns: Immediately
spread a thin layer of raw honey over the burn. Especially good for oil
splatter type burns and steam burns, but of benefit to all types of burns. It relieves
stinging, prevents blisters and infection, and speeds healing.
Sunburn: Combine 1 cup
apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup Aloe Vera gel. Paint onto
sunburned skin with pastry brush or damp sponge.
Wounds: The high levels
of potassium found in honey make it very difficult, if not impossible, for
bacteria to survive. Applying a thin layer of raw honey to any cut, scrape or
scratch is beneficial.
Beyond treating injury
and illness, there are other reasons to pay attention to honey. Incorporating
it into your daily diet is an excellent step to take towards maintaining
general good health.
Dr. D.C. Jarvis says
"I am saddened when people tell me that they don't eat honey because costs
more than white sugar. In the long run, you must pay either the grocer or the
druggist."
Honey can be
substituted for white sugar very easily, even in baking, and the health
benefits for everyone but especially for children are worth every penny.

Teach
Him Gently
World, my
young son starts school tomorrow. It's all going to be strange and new to him
for a while...and I wish you would sort of treat him gently. It is an adventure that will probably
include wars, tragedy and sorrow. The world that he will live in requires
faith, love and courage.
So world,
I wish that you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the
things that he will have to know.
Teach
him, but gently if you can. I know, he will have to learn that all men are not
just, that all men are not true. But teach him that for every scoundrel there
is a hero that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach
him that for every enemy, there is a friend.
It will
take time World I know, but teach him, if you can to learn to lose and to enjoy
winning. Steer him away from envy, if you can and teach him the secret of quiet
laughter. Let him learn that the bullies are the easiest people to lick. Teach
him, if you can the wonder of books. But also give him the quiet time to ponder
the eternal mystery of the birds in the sky bees in the sun and the flowers on
the hillside.
In
school, world teach him it is far more honourable to fail, than to cheat. Teach
him to have faith in his own ideas even when everyone tells him that they are
wrong. Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough people.
Try to
give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is getting
on the bandwagon. Teach him to listen to all men but teach him also to filter
all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach
him, if you can how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in
tears. Teach him, there can be glory in failure, and despair in success. Teach
him to scoff at cynics, and to be aware of too much sweetness. Teach him to
sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder. But, never put a price tag on
his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand
and figure, if he thinks that he is right. Treat him gently, World, but don't
coddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him
have courage to be impatient let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him
to always have faith in himself. Because, then he may always have faith in
mankind.
This is a
big order, World but see what you can do. He is such a fine little
fellow...

6. Ken Warren Build your self-worth
Self-esteem is something that affects every area of our life
– our relationships, our sense of who we are and our well-being, says counsellor,
Elaine Davis. “Self-esteem also affects our physical and mental health and our
performance in the workplace. People often struggle with their self-worth due
to not having challenged faulty beliefs about themselves that may have arisen
in childhood. Perhaps they have had negative life experiences such as the death
of a parent in childhood, parental separation, chronic illness, or other
setbacks such as relationship breakdown, losing a job or losing money.
It is possible to rebuild your self-worth, even if it has
taken serious blows", Ms Davis said. “The first step is to challenge our
beliefs and test them against logic. Some might be worth holding onto, whereas
others may need to be discarded. It is also important to accept what we cannot change,
but take responsibility for the things we can. For example, some people may
carry regrets or grudges over what has happened to them or decisions they made
in the past. Unfortunately, this only makes us unhappy and often unhealthy. We
are better to accept the fact that the past cannot be changed no matter how
much we dwell on it. We need to learn from it and focus our attention and
efforts on the present and future.
It is also important that we develop a healthy love and
self-care for ourselves. This can be done through simple actions like taking
time out for rest and recreation, giving ourselves treats perhaps through
walking on the beach, being around positive people, caring for our appearance,
and finding a balance between our needs and the needs of others.
People often fear developing their self-worth as this
involves change. In such situations, a type of learned helplessness may have
developed, where it is easier to rely on others for making us feel better
rather than doing something to help ourselves. Some people rationalise such
feelings believing that that is just the way they are made. But we can make a
difference and it can also help if we surround ourselves with people who are
supportive of such changes”.

8. Motivational
WAYS to MAKE ROOM for JOY in the
LIFE YOU'RE ALREADY LIVING
Within
our everyday lives we can experience JOY on a daily basis. But not if we strive for joy through the
acquisition of material things, fancy titles, or "free" time.
Striving in these ways drives joy away as surely as squeezing a handful of
water leaves us empty-handed. To find more joy in our daily lives we have to
make room for joy!
1. Give yourself a
"Placelift."
Let
go of things that bind you to them, that conjure up negative experiences, or
that remind you of the ways you aren't.
Retain and spread around you a few things that hold positive memories,
are inspiring or restful. Then you are free to experience the joyous freedom of
nourishing memories and pleasing surroundings.
2. Practice the greatest gift of all
- Forgiveness.
By
living lives of conscious self-acceptance and learning to forgive ourselves we
become more able to forgive others. By learning to forgive others, we give
ourselves the gift of freedom from the past. Forgiveness loosens the
debilitating constraints of anger, resentment, cynicism and despair and frees
our hearts to swell with joy.
3. Take time to be present.
Sweep
away the busyness and mental chatter of lives lived in the possible future or
buried past. When we second-guess what we "should have done" or
anticipate what we are going to do, we become oblivious to the magic in the
moment we are living. By learning to be present in the current moment we open
to the treasures that it offers.
4. Walk with an Appreciative Heart.
We
dance with joy when counting our blessings - those that float unnoticed in our
existing lives and those that cascade in unexpectedly. It's nearly impossible
to be gloomy when acknowledging the gifts that are present in our lives.
5. Face each day with a CAN DO
attitude.
When
we let go of self-limiting beliefs, we invite ourselves to learn new things or
tackle seemingly difficult challenges. We then experience the joyfulness of
self-discovery and accomplishment.
6. Probe the paradoxical power of
Surrender.
Worry
serves as a signal that we must tend to something, but when we have done all
that can be done for the moment, it's time to let go of worry and surrender to
the joyous support of people and possibilities. When intense emotions call -
whether delight or fear, love or grief - surrender to them AND to the next
emotion that calls. Don't hold on!
7. Surprise your life.
Waken
your five senses, practice harmless and minor outrages and seek a larger
freedom in your life. In surprises come the joys of feeling truly alive.
8. Cultivate Beauty.
Create
beauty through your everyday activities and celebrate beauty in your everyday
surroundings.
9. Embrace Laughter!
Laughter
enhances our physical well-being and our spirit and, as Marilyn Fergusan notes,
“At the height of laughter the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new
possibilities."
10. Give yourself simple
extravagances and healthy indulgences.
Garnish
your life with little pleasures that don't destroy your bank account...or your
health.

10. On a Personal Note.
Hi to all,
Well it has been a pretty busy time lately.
I have just passed my exam to become a Myers Briggs Type
Identifier. I have really enjoyed doing this study and know that it will
improve my therapy skills and help give my clients better insight and
acceptance of themselves. It was a bit of a challenge for me, the concept of
statistics is not in the realm of what I would normally study but a necessary
component of this training, I must say I am very glad that module is over.
Paul, our son, is now a tram (light rail driver), and loving it.
He has deferred from his other studies and just focused on this for a semester,
and now I am so clever at the Myers Briggs stuff, I can really understand him
so much better. (I do wonder now how he has survived me all these years!!) We
have very different types within us.
The Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists is having
their biannual Convention shortly, as I am on the committee for that, I can now
really appreciate the work that goes into getting a convention together. It
appears to me there are a lot of people that work behind the scenes in lots of
organisations for the sheer joy of community benefit.
On another topic, I have just found out that I can be used for
