We are the Reflection of our Lives — How to Survive Loss & Humility
Posted by admin on Sep 14, 2009
Everyday, I look in the mirror to see the face staring back at
me. Sometimes it is lined with stress, sorrow and grief. Other
times, it simply smiles in humbled reservation. But the
reflection of our lives… that, is who we are — who we
represent ourselves to be. For some, it is wearing hearts upon
their sleeves; for others, their thoughts and words go unspoken
forever.
But what does having a reflection of our lives have to do with
surviving loss and humility? Simply put, being able to view
ourselves from a third-person perspective — stepping outside of
ourselves — allows us to see our true reflections. It is
through our own defensive-healing mechanisms that we triumph
over heartache, grief and anxiety. Each individual has his own
unique way of developing trueness with the self.
When bad things happen in our lives, our brains go into
overdrive. Technically, our minds instinctively warp into action
with one goal in sight: “what in the heck happened and how can I
fix it?” or “why did this happen — could I have prevented this
from happening?” We instantaneously turn off our logical senses
as our emotions now lead the focus of our reflective hindsight.
Without critically taking a broad overview of a particular
situation, we attempt to find reason in the why and how — never
realizing that sometimes, things simply happen.
In life, there are events that are inevitable. Perhaps the
greatest quandary of life is reckoning with death and trying to
transcend the ruins of mortality. Again, the reflections of our
lives is how we cope with all things — good and bad. The
healing process of reflective thinking is merely a phase that
all must encounter before going forth with comprehensive
understanding. In essence, then, we are the reflection of our
lives as we continue to live, breath, laugh, love, hope,
sacrifice, sorrow, and even die.
The answer to finding inner peace in times of tribulation, is to
circumvent the action and find wholeness in our true reflection.
This is what sets apart the difference between living life to
its fullest, to living life not worth living. The choice,
however, is always up to you. Thoughts to ponder.

Notable Thoughts on Positive Living
Posted by admin on Aug 31, 2009
I went online — and what do I see? A news report scrolled
across my screen: “Murder by Mother’s Milk,” compliments
of the Associated Press. I try to keep up with the news as it
informs me of my environment, the world around me and society in
general. But when I look at a television or monitor screen and
read horrific reports such as this one, I have to wonder what
this world is coming to.
Purportedly, a 31-year old woman (who, by the way has 5
children) was an apparent methamphetamine addict and was
breastfeeding her 3-month old son. According to the report, the
fatal drug passed through the mother’s breastmilk and caused the
death of her tiny infant. Although the child can no longer be
brought back to life, the mother was indicted and charged with
second-degree murder. She could receive up to life imprisonment.
So, are you angry yet? What type of world are we living in when
supposed, responsible parents are so high on drugs that they
“accidentally” poison their children with methamphetamine?
Then I hear reports of a bride-to-be being buried today because
of radical fundamentalists who get kicks out of bombing innocent
people.
Of course, the epitome of news reports is to make our modern,
“civilized” public aware of current events, people, places and
things. But does it really? If awareness is being raised to the
potpourri of countless, violent reports then what has
transpired? Yes — more violence.
Like a flashing billboard of red lights, all the warning signs
come barreling into our faces. However, how often are these
ominous “news stories” going to be taken to heart? We sit back,
view news reports, eat our dinners, do our chores, sit back down
and watch a movie. No more talk about the 3-month old who was
murdered. No more talk about the innocent young bride being
bombed. Suddenly, the rose-colored glasses get put across our
eyes and we’ve become desensitized to all the negative in our
world.
We, as a people, coexist with modern neandrathal-like maniacs
who care of nothing but self-satisfaction and egotistically
charged, radical perspectives of life. A matter of fact, these
nomenclatural fiends of society seem to marvel at their newfound
notoriety by playing to society’s camera view.
“I was abused as a child…” “I didn’t have a Nintendo…”
“My religion is better than your religion…” “I couldn’t help
myself because nobody cared enough about me…” I’ve heard
just about enough excuses for irresponsible, childish and
violent behavior. It’s about time society take note of these
news reports and start proacting.
People, in general, have been brainwashed by alleged leaders of
independent cultures, schools, and even parents to think that
whatever they do will ultimately be an excuse to do as they
please. I’m here to tell you that life is not a bowl of peaches
and cream. Life is not easy. Nothing gets handed to people on a
silver platter without hard work, dedication and willpower.
If individuals want positive things to happen in their lives,
they have to reinforce positive behavior and attitude. I am sick
and tired of hearing people say the reason they act the way they
do is because they had a hard life. Get over it. Jesus had a
hard life and look where He is today.
I look at people like Susan Smith. This woman takes the cake;
and is the poster child for what is wrong with society. Here is
a young woman who one day decides that she would intentionally
trade her children’s lives in on a man who didn’t even want her.
She idly stood by and watched her helpless tots drown in a murky
lake, then phoned police to say a “black man” had stolen her
vehicle and abducted her boys. Sickening. “…but she was
sexually abused as child…” screamed her defense attorneys.
Amazing what antics defense attorneys can squeeze out in a
courtroom. Yet it gets better. Now — if you’d like, you can
personally contact Ms. Smith and have a long-distance
relationship over the Internet with her.
So, here are a few pointers to positivie living that I’ve come
up with — in my own opinion, of course:
- If you’ve had a terrible life and can’t deal with it –
get counseling for God’s sakes. You are your own person and need
to take control of your actions by being in charge. - If
you think your religion is better than the next persons, don’t
bomb innocent communities. This is not a positive way to prove
your point. - If you don’t use drugs, don’t start using
them. If you do use drugs, it’s time for you to check into a
clinic and get rehabilitated. Many are free and provide
financial assistance to those who cannot afford to go to
one. - If you decide that you no longer wish to raise
your children, please contact social services and get some help.
You’ve brought life into this world and that life is your
responsibility. Period. - If everything in life has gone
wrong and you’re sitting there wondering if life is worth
living, think of this: somewhere in the world — children are
literally starving to death; somewhere in this world, a person
is dying from some god-awful disease; somewhere in this world,
people don’t have luxuries like clean, running water and a roof
over their heads; somewhere in this world, there is another
person going through the same thing you are
experiencing.
Positivity is the key to all good things. Always focus your
intentions on the overall good of humanity. Promote peace and
live peacefully. Accentuate the positive, as positive energy
attracts positive energy. Leave this world a better place than
in which you came. In closing, I leave you with a quote from an
incredible human being — Mohandas Gandhi wrote, “Nonviolence
is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier
than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the
ingenuity of man.”

What is Naturopathy?

What is naturopathy?

Why are people bashing naturopathy? What is so wrong with wanting to heal naturally instead of with drugs?
Posted by admin on Aug 27, 2009
A lot of people myself included are sick of being sick from the drugs that doctors prescribe that make us sicker than an illness ever could. So I want to know why so many people are against naturopathy?
I guess it’s human nature for people to bash things that they are ignorant about. It seems the less they know, the louder they bash. For unknown reasons, because a Doctor tells them to, they put unnecessary chemicals into their bodies and don’t even ask questions….The Doctor said so. Well, certain medications are indeed necessary for some illnesses and injuries, but it really blows my mind that people just blindly trust what the Doctor tells them. Yet Doctors, Herbalists, Nutritionists and Pharmacists are called Quacks if they prescribe medically validated alternative medicine.
I think one of the main problems is self-diagnosis, or misdiagnosis when it comes to herbal treatments. People can and do do a lot of damage to themselves if they have not done their homework. But on the flip side of that coin, I have lost 2 family members due to misdiagnosis from the medical profession, and one who is going down now due to over medicating for diabetes and it’s related symptoms.
I will continue with alternative medicine as I have done my homework and have seen results not possible with pharmaceuticals.
Get Successful Breast Cancer Treatment By Including Complementary And Alternative Therapies
Posted by admin on Aug 24, 2009
Chemotherapy along with surgery is traditionally the most common form of treatment for breast cancer. However, recently, holistic treatments have become more popular. The reasons for this are many, but the usually, it is because the patient doesn’t want to endure chemotherapy or surgery, or feels there is a better way to combat the disease.
The Problem Of Traditional Breast Cancer Treatment
Modern medicine claims that if the cancer is caught early enough, breast cancer treatments like radiotherapy or chemotherapy can help the patient lead a long and active life. However, it has been proven that if chemotherapy is used too soon, it may actually shorten the life of the patient.
Another risk of modern medicine is using mammograms as an early diagnostic tool, rather than preventative. Mammograms will sometimes give false positives and leave some women enduring treatments, only to find out later they may never have had cancer at all.
When mistakes happen with traditional breast cancer treatments, harmful side effects may shorten, rather than prolong a patient’s life.
Getting Help By Alternate Therapies
Serious heath problems such as breast cancer are being treated more frequently by holistic medicine. Holistic therapies go beyond the traditional remedies that only treat mainly the body. Holistic medicine also treats the mind and spirit as well. It is important to note that, even though you may experience fewer side effects with holistic medicine, you don’t choose to forgo traditional medicine, but add holistic practices to it.
Also, it is important to remember that just as there are side effects of chemotherapies and other types of medical treatments, there are side effects to using holistic breast cancer treatments as well. However, there have been many studies done that show patience frequently live longer than what doctors had estimated they would.
Women fighting breast cancer may seek out holistic therapists to detoxify her body. The therapist would use naturopathy to detect certain toxins in the body. After this, kinesiology is employed to check the body’s energy fields. After checking these two items, the therapist can put together a course of treatment that will revolve around natural remedies.
There are many types of detoxifying programs that may be used during breast cancer treatment. One is to cleanse the liver and involves black walnut, wormwood and cloves. There are also detoxifying programs for the mind to help patience achieve a better emotional state.
Holistic therapies help by ridding the body of deep-rooted toxins; also by treating your mind so you can better fight the disease of breast cancer. When a patient is first diagnosed with cancer, it can lead to fatigue and stress within the body and mind. Once you can focus on the treatment, your chances of beating cancer increase. It is important to keep mind body and spirit in good health.
Seeking breast cancer treatment from a holistic therapist is perfectly all right as long as you don’t forgo traditional breast cancer medicine. While holistic treatments may take away some of the symptoms traditional medicine have, it should not be a substitute for medical advice. Keeping your mind calm will help in receiving treatments.
Summary:
Holistic therapist shouldn’t be used in place of medical breast cancer treatment, but it can help treat your emotional needs that will make your overall state of being as well as helping with the side effects such as vomiting and nausea. Sometimes, holistic treatments will prolong a patience life, some times by years.
