De-liberate Movements
For the past few weeks driving to work in the morning I have observed a young man walking; he looks as though he’s on his way to work, and intermittently he starts dancing, just a couple moves, a spin or a side step shuffle, and then a return to a sauntering walk. To be frankContinue reading “De-liberate Movements”
Help Your Back
This is a simple exercise you can do regularly in order to counteract tightness, soreness and weakness in the back from time spent on computer or mobile device. Doing it every hour could be a real challenge, but as she states in the video just try to get used to doing it as a remedyContinue reading “Help Your Back”
Fulvic Acid
Generally speaking, people are depleted of minerals, especially trace minerals. So are our food sources. Coincidentally, a number of modern pesticides and herbicides function as chelators (or so I have heard), which could remove macro- and micronutrients from the soil. This can of course have side effects for other plant and animal life. Other behaviorsContinue reading “Fulvic Acid”
Potential for Big Savings

This is just off the top of my head; also, I’m not trying to be romantic, but is it not our family’sContinue reading “Love’s Nutrition”
A First Lesson For Well Being
Finish what you start. Imagine that Da Vinci felt more fulfilled by a fully swept floor than an incomplete masterpiece. With the floor there is the sense of a job well done, whereas with an unfinished masterpiece there is torment and sleepless nights, longing and hardship. I simply say imagine because I don’t know ifContinue reading “A First Lesson For Well Being”
The Scientist
Or, one who rejects his own faith. This modern day white cloaked magi is venerated by many people. He is the Priest archetype of the secular west, and people have put their faith into his words. They have faith in Science, and that he knows its way. The scientist disparages faith. He is devoted toContinue reading “The Scientist”
The Bio-energetics of Emotions
Following up a bit on yesterday’s post, there are definite qualities to how emotions feel in the body, feelings that elicit behaviors, or need to be addressed. With happiness there is often a feeling of flushness, you may become more extraverted, and the volume of your voice may rise. Fear can bring on shivers andContinue reading “The Bio-energetics of Emotions”
