What if it's swine flu?

The media is reporting that the 1918 pandemic was composed of a recombination of H1N1 seasonal flu and H1N1 swine flu. What you won’t hear reported in the main stream media is how chiropractic care afforded life saving relief to so many back in 1918.

The 1918 flu epidemic swept silently across the world bringing death and fear to homes in every land. More than one hundred million people died. In 1918 almost nothing was known about prevention, protection, treatment or cure of influenza. The whole world stood at its mercy, or lack of it.

In 1918, chiropractors in Wisconsin began going door-to-door adjusting anyone who had the Flu.
As a result, an amazing thing occurred. Those who were adjusted by a chiropractor didn’t die.

The news about Chiropractic swept across Wisconsin and eventually the whole country. Within a short period of time, chiropractic became so well known as the best defense against the flu that chiropractors were being called “Flu Doctors”.

As for me, I take vitamin C daily, go to a chiropractor regularly (at least once per month) and use self-hypnosis to keep my immune system ready for any challenge.

State of Mind

This will make you feel rich in ways you never thought possible for financial freedom does not depend on how much money you have, it is a State of Mind!



That is what Suze Ormond says about her program Financial Freedom.



I liked it because she went over psychological factors, then the practical, real world, financial education, then spiritual factors.



And I thought she was more shallow than that. I underestimated her. My apologies, Suze.

I also like that she advocates the use of affirmations. She recommends writing it down 25 times per day in addition to screaming it, singing it and repeating it over and over when faced with fear. Only she calls it Your Truth, not simply an affirmation.

The audio program is called, Financial Freedom by Suze Ormond and Suze delivers on her promise that it will make you feel richer than you ever thought possible. Is that the Truth, or just an affirmation? You'll have to listen for yourself.

Self-talk Matters

This morning, I was listening to Ed Martin from NGH talking about Cell Command hypnosis techniques. He mentioned how certain language causes a negative physical effect. The examples he used were by someone who often said, "I'll be dammed!" and another who liked to say, NO sh**!" Both of these people were constipated for years before using hypnosis to get help and eliminate those phrases from their lexicon.

I just heard from someone saying he got his "guts stomped on" by his former spouse. Interestly enough, he also has some digestive issues and his doctor wants to scope his stomach. Since he keeps talking about his guts, I hope they also do a lower GI series.

Weekend Festivities

Kalo Pascha! (Happy Easter!)

We celebrated Greek Orthodox Easter this weekend. On Thursday night, the crucifixion was reenacted. On Friday, there was a 3-hour ceremony with songs about the activities of the women after Jesus' death. Since this was a funeral service, people were dressed in black. A flower-adorned "tomb" was set up in the front of the church.

The thunderstorm on Friday evening caused a power shortage, which knocked out the lights, microphone, and air conditioner in St. Nicholas Church for the first 40 minutes of the service. Since there was dim emergency lighting in the church, the atmosphere was perfect for such a ceremony.

On Saturday morning, communion was offerred to those who were will willing to arrive at 6 am.
The Saturday night service began at 11:00 pm. At the end of the service, all the lights were intentionally turned off. A few minutes later, the priest dramatically emerged from the back, with one lighted candle. The choir and altar boys each lit one candle and brought their candles to light another of the parishioner's candles until all the candles in the church were lit. This continued as people left the church and waited outside. After a few words from the priest outside the church, everyone cheered, "Christos Anesti!" (Christ is risen!) Then the fireworks began and continued for about 20 minutes.

Easter day was spent with friends, and meat was served for the first time in 40 days.

Easter is the biggest holiday in the Greek Orthodox Church.

(this is reprinted from an article I wrote in 2006, since the festivities lacked fireworks this year)

Open Your Mind

The book I am currently reading is called, Open your Mind to Prosperity, by Catherine Ponder.

It was written in 1971. So she is one of the pioneers of the current trend in Positive Thinking, called Law of Attraction now.

So far, I have learned that an attitude of gratitude is necessary to open yourself up to new opportunities.

Next, forgiveness. If you hold things against others, you are holding and maintaining your barriers to success. If you forgive others, you set them free and you set yourself free, too. This opens up the channels to new opportunities, also.

It also includes a nice little technique to ask for other's forgiveness for yourself. You can do this remotely, so you don't even have to confront the other person. I like that. It's useful for people from the past that you haven't seen for 30 years and have no idea where they are or if they are still alive.

Other things that get in the way (barriers) to prosperity:

Envy, criticism, and playing the victim role.

Catherine Ponder looks at prosperity through a spiritual perspective and employs prayer as well as affirmations to assist the process. She has written other books about Prosperity, including the Dynamic Laws of Prosperity and The Prosperity Secret of the Ages.

Great titles, great books.
