<br />
This isn't SOLELY about our treatment of each other. <br />
<em>This is our general attitude towards life</em>. <br />
Are we open-hearted or closed-hearted? <br />

Basically, it's all about what we give to life, that allows life to give back to us.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><em>Life is relationship</em>,</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Life is harmony</span>,</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Life is abundance,</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> Life is perfect health....</span></em></div>
<br />
We know by what we are experiencing, if we are giving to life, or simply expecting life to give to us.<br />
<br />
What are you giving to life today? <br />
I mean, besides the expectations of a better one? <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Though this is not one of the customary topics of this blog, it is something that speaks to me today, and therefore I would like to speak to you of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This column is ordinarily about those things that “All Make Sense to Me”, and not about that which doesn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am having difficulty moving onto the “sense” of things again, until after addressing the “senselessness” of the past week.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This past week, since the Chardon shootings, we have been bombarded from so many different perspectives of the event, and with people needing to deal with it in whatever ways seemed to resonate with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has been continuous <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and consistent exploitation and speculation by the news media about the victims, their families, the shooter, and his own family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have given these families no hope for any kind of peace of mind throughout this horrific week, and I say a simple “Shame on you” to them, and I am grateful that I have done nothing to support their actions this week. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But this blog isn’t about judgment—certainly not of a profession that we have every right to turn away from, simply by turning off our tv sets.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></em></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have spent the week differently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think I can recall my tv being on once this week, other than when my daughter suggested I turn on the Today show to see the young man who she and my granddaughter know well, being interviewed after trying to help that tragic morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I missed that interview, turned the tv off, and haven’t turned it on since.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have endless forms of being kept “up to date”, whether we choose to be or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether it be through phone calls from well-meaning friends and family, or social networking, this topic has been the primary one all week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, I am not making judgments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We react in the ways that resonate with us.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But I always kind of hold out for that something different that people might find themselves able to resonate with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That ‘something else’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that-- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>though it cannot go backwards into changing anything that has happened-- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>can propel us forward into evolving into our own highest version of ourselves.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have a healing circle, and frequently send out requests for healing and assistance to those who are going through periodic challenges, whether health challenges, emotional challenges, or life challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I did not send a healing request out this week; I knew these people would already be doing that, without it being requested of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I waited until today to contact them, and to give voice to my thoughts which have taken me nearly a week to put into any kind of reasonable order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></em></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I spent my week in prayer, meditation, and candlelight vigils.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I held those children in my heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cried for their families and friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I expressed myself briefly on Facebook in response to many offers of condolence, angry outbursts, and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>some very logical statements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have been vastly varied.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today, I would ask that we move beyond the anger…..the hatred…..the disgust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so easy to feel it; I’m feeling it now simply in the writing of this statement .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just because I know what’s needed, doesn’t mean I have it mastered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, I do know what is needed.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our anger, hatred, disgust over the events of the past week serves nothing but to ignite more anger, hatred, and disgust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are appalled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are horrified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have every right to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But we are also the survivors…..the ones left behind to pick up the pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ones the Universe has designated to “fix this!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We all have a role to play now…..We are still in this world, and we need to evolve into that highest version of ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have millions of children looking to us for guidance, direction, even purpose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really don’t have time for the anger and the hatred anymore; we have work to do.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></em></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t think I want to call this a “challenge”; I’m not looking for competitive terms that connote game-playing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask for a<em> united front</em>.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had commented a few days ago on a social network, that we can no longer look at the “sins of the father” scenario….</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Family history” is a western term that no other culture even accepts…..not even in medicine.

Trust them to guide you. Learn from them in discerning what is right for you and what is not. Your emotions are 'energy in motion'. They are often given a bad rap, but hey--it is our emotions that make us human. It is our emotions that are linked to both the "gut", as well as that "still small voice within".<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Gone are the days of heeding the things of the mind. The cost of analysis has been annihilation of the self. In other words, if this is a Life Cycle "2" year for you, it's time to <strong><em>GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND INTO YOUR HEART !!</em></strong></div><br />
This is your year for looking at intimacy and relationships. This is the year to make sure you haven't neglected your partner because you got so caught up in last year's "1", and achieving the "big dream".<br />
<br />
The Personal Year 2 is about affection, spending time with the people you care most about, and sharing your real feelings (yeah, Guys--this means you too!)<br />
It's a year to let your guard down, not to be afraid to express your love or your needs.<br />
You'll find it rewarding to discuss your emotional side. <br />
<br />
If this is a Life Cycle "2" year for you, it is the right time to run away with your love, and to really appreciate those you care about by fostering healthy, loving relationships.<br />
<br />
Now c'mon.....you <strong><em>know </em></strong>this makes sense, and you <strong><em>certainly </em></strong>know by now, that it <em>ALL Makes Sense To <strong>Me</strong> !!</em><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzpihLxYFEHKpgXYlZtetN0YHQ8GDZbJPmLmormi3SInra4H_xK-lOHO47Jrgm0pDKacVgxZEK-71dCqoJQ7C7MAN0AU-zYcCKV5q4uYfK2O-aDtE_dXWD9jF2IihtxW_u-JGWTswq_Au/s1600/energy+of+numbers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzpihLxYFEHKpgXYlZtetN0YHQ8GDZbJPmLmormi3SInra4H_xK-lOHO47Jrgm0pDKacVgxZEK-71dCqoJQ7C7MAN0AU-zYcCKV5q4uYfK2O-aDtE_dXWD9jF2IihtxW_u-JGWTswq_Au/s1600/energy+of+numbers.jpg" /></a></div><br />
To review, this number is taken from the sum of your birth month and day, and added to the "World Number" which is the sum of the digits of the year (in other words, 2012 would add up to 5). You then reduce this sum to a single digit. The resulting number tells you--in a cycle of nine years--where exactly you are in your life cycle, and what you might anticipate as a result.<br />
As promised, each day for the next nine days, I will explain what it means to be in any one of the nine cycles in your personal year.<br />
<br />
If you are in a Life Cycle 1 for instance, it's time to become the best at what you do! The year before--2011--was a 9 year for you. This was about clearing the space in your life, of all that no longer serves you. Things began to fall away from you last year, and will continue to do so until your birthday in 2012, when you will have made room for all things new. <br />
A "1" year is exactly what you would think: it is a year of new beginnings. <br />
<br />
It's your turn to be <em>numero uno</em> at <strong>whatever</strong> it is you do best. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeg6PXsmRqRZbo9Bkd5l8ECbivJ09RcAhcL3QZjq75F3GeE9JFel5FbNMrZX0OoTlZoqunuJbW42taFp-D5uzcqUKKTPa0Q4Lgzjq0C_Ja0-Lf2K04CFNliGOc-Cpq0yUHQjPcD2zVjwcc/s1600/number+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeg6PXsmRqRZbo9Bkd5l8ECbivJ09RcAhcL3QZjq75F3GeE9JFel5FbNMrZX0OoTlZoqunuJbW42taFp-D5uzcqUKKTPa0Q4Lgzjq0C_Ja0-Lf2K04CFNliGOc-Cpq0yUHQjPcD2zVjwcc/s1600/number+1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This is the year people look up to you to be a leader.<br />
<br />
It's your moment to have the credibility you deserve. Whether it's business or love, you can achieve it in the Personal Year of 1.<br />
Go for it!<br />
<br />
<em>.....and remember....It All Makes Sense To Me, so it's high time it did for you too....</em><br />

As a soul therapist, I love looking at the numbers metaphysically and seeing the patterns which can be put to use in healing work. Numerology has blended the best of both worlds for me, giving me an energy healing modality that also has its foundation in an exact science.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Most people understand that numerology can be used to analyze character, abilities, psychological traits, and even destinies, but few people are also aware that it can also be used to predict life cycles.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Life cycles, according to the science of numerology, are nine years.....with the first year representing new beginnings, and the ninth year--endings and culminations--things falling away that no longer serve us. It is always beneficial to understand the cycle you are in, to better understand what to expect in the coming year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">2012 is nearly upon us. I would like to share with my readers how to determine the cycle you are in for the coming year. You simply add the digits of your birth day (only the month and day), to the sum of the digits of 2012 (5--we know this by adding 2+0+1+2). If your birthday is January 26th, you would simply add 1+2+6+2+0+1+2, which gives you a sum of 14. Reducing that sum to a single digit, we have 5 (1+4--following me so far?). So, if your birthday is indeed Jan. 26th, you are going to want to know what you can expect in 2012. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Beginning tomorrow, and for the next nine days, I will break down what each life cycle number means, so please--by tomorrow, do the math so that you know what your number is, and I'll do the rest. All YOU have to do is read. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I've SO much to share with you, and in doing so, we will celebrate our lives in yet a whole new way!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Because.......when it comes to celebrating life.......<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> It ALL makes sense to me……</span></span></div><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://feathertouchpathandpurpose.com/"><span style="color: #2198a6;">http://feathertouchpathandpurpose.com/</span></a></span><br />

I could hear this soft fluttering and could see those terrified, pleading, beedy little eyes peering out to me through the grate, and I'm thinking "great, now how do I free you, without scaring you even more--especially with the three dogs and two cats lurking about, trying to figure out what's going on?" My furnace room's location, being in the hallway of my home, allowed me to close off the open end of the hallway with a blanket tacked to the wall above the doorway, and close all the bedroom and bathroom doors, except for the one room directly across from the furnace--my husband's computer room-- which I left open with the windows wide. I then proceeded to open the front of the furnace (can't seem to get it back in place.....Hubby can do that later), which freed the bird and of course, seeing the only source of light, it flew directly out the window. Ok, it's kind of a long story.....but it has a point, so bear with me.......The moral of this story is.....drumroll please.......IT'S VERY EASY TO FOCUS ON THE LIGHT WHEN THAT'S ALL THERE IS !! Helllllooooo???? That's ALL there is ! Get that? I got it.....like.....right away....and thanked the bird.....and of course the Creator who sent him to remind me of the particular message I needed at that precise moment in time.FeatherTouchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16205082559933897581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604400783580613376.post-7826549315195523642011-08-13T16:40:00.000-07:002011-08-13T16:40:34.766-07:00Shuffling the cards......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYbqY1WJ3D95-gyidjzb1D-D3EqqUntCdDuEE7BsTJnqCW3tlTGBMAncCnXQx_B47W-ugToJWSqRK5XbtYkpZRsZNOY1LFl2QNYhQUzziaZZuLJ33qOKA-h-r9QEdasfpcTDYKM9y3wHx/s1600/cards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYbqY1WJ3D95-gyidjzb1D-D3EqqUntCdDuEE7BsTJnqCW3tlTGBMAncCnXQx_B47W-ugToJWSqRK5XbtYkpZRsZNOY1LFl2QNYhQUzziaZZuLJ33qOKA-h-r9QEdasfpcTDYKM9y3wHx/s1600/cards.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ALL<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this talk about …. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Upheaval…</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Change….</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s as though the world’s gone mad.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, it has …..</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So to speak.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are in the midst of great change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s called evolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were never meant to remain cavemen, and we are not meant to remain in the present , or recent past state either.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Throughout history, the greatest change has occurred following the greatest catastrophes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t think we’re in the midst of catastrophe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think , as a people, we are being called to evolve….and as is the case with evolution, chaos always precedes Creation.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I draw this analogy, for anyone who has played cards, from the time they were children, to the present:</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We started out playing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Go Fish”</i>, or maybe <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“War”.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we’d get bored, and would probably end up playing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“52 Pick-Up”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>By the time we completed the task of picking up all 52 cards, we were <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">really </b>bored, so we put the cards away in a drawer and forgot about them and went on to something else.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before long, we again became bored with the “something else” as well…..the status quo…so decided to return to the proverbial drawer containing the proverbial deck of cards.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We took them out, but before we could decide what game we wanted to play with them…because after all we are older now, and “Go Fish” and “War” are no longer appealing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need something a bit more challenging, right?</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ok, but what’s the first thing we do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We shuffle the cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who doesn’t shuffle the cards before they commence playing with them?</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once shuffled (and oh, except for those Vegas dealers, we can make such a mess just <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the act of shuffling), the cards start to fall into place.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s when we begin to create a pattern of play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We call it a game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We get ourselves organized……play out a hand or two….then….when we get bored again, we put the cards away for another day—to shuffle and start all over again…..say, maybe 20+,000 years from now.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s all we’re doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re just in the process of shuffling the cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll be fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long as we remember that we are the ones doing the shuffling, and we are the ones playing the game, making the rules as we go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t like the game?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Change it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Humanity’s been doing it from the beginning of time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nature calls it evolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s just get on with it and quit fighting over the cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sooner we finish shuffling, the sooner we can start holding a great hand again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep your eye on the prize; don’t get caught up in the shuffle…..</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It may not seem as though this has much to do with the holistic lifestyle, but that’s because you can’t see my hand.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It all makes sense to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s GOT to make sense to you……… </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://feathertouchpathandpurpose.com/">http://feathertouchpathandpurpose.com</a></div><br />

Some find this hard to believe, so let me try to make “cents” of it for you:<br />
Money is Energy.<br />
Specifically, <i>cash</i> is energy.<br />
<br />
I have this theory: We are all very concerned about our nation’s economy, let alone our own personal finances. We listen to our media news coverage . We read our newspapers (no offense, News Herald), and we hear all the theorists, all the economists, all the “experts” discussing what happened... how it happened... what it will take to fix it... can it be fixed?……You know the pattern.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, we humans tend to miss the obvious. The obvious being, that plastic carries no energy. Checking accounts carry no energy. CASH is energy.<br />
<br />
To me, the greatest crime against our economy and our citizens takes the form of the “automatic deposit”. <br />
We work hard for our money. For the sake of convenience, our employers deposit our earnings into our checking accounts, from which we pay for everything either by writing a check, or using a plastic debit card. <br />
<br />
Now, you just have to visualize this……<br />
Use your imagination a little bit, and get a good clear picture in your head of where that check goes, or what happens to the plastic payment (We won’t even address credit cards here; there’s not enough time or space in this blog to go <em>there</em>.)<br />
<br />
We see our check pay for whatever (probably said credit cards). We use our debit card at the grocery store, and it is processed by a number that nobody else has, or nobody else can use (ok, ok, I know about credit and debit card fraud, but that’s not the topic of this blog; we’re talking about honest people here.)<br />
<br />
Now, look at the cash you use to pay for your needs: <br />
Step back . <br />
Just a little. <br />
Focus. <br />
Get a bird’s eye view of where that cash is going. <br />
Look at all the hands it is passing through--all over the city, all over the country, even all over the world (well, the "world" that accepts American money, that is).....<br />
.....Picking up momentum as it goes. <br />
THAT’S energy! <br />
<br />
And what happens to the cash we put out there, if it is energy? Well, like all energy, it comes back to us!!<br />
So heals the economy. So heals the personal finances.<br />
My suggestion is to write yourself a check once a week for cash, and pay for everything with cash, and see what happens……<br />
<br />
It all makes ‘cents’ to me, and you will discover that it <em>will </em>make ‘cents’ <em>for</em> you!<br />

Not really.....Read on......)<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mercola.com/js/citation.js" language="javascript"></script><br />
<br />
By Dr. Mercola<br />
That bronzy sun-kissed look has long been associated with health and beauty. Human beings are sun-loving creatures, which makes sense, since countless generations before us have depended on the sun for its warmth, light and nourishment.<br />
<br />
But, since the 1980s, all of the misguided propaganda about the evils of sun exposure have given rise to an incredibly profitable industry built around methods of "safely" achieving that chestnut look. First came self-tanners, followed by any number of lotions and powders, and now a liquid that can be sprayed onto you in a booth.<br />
<br />
Spray tanning has become one of the most popular sunless tanning methods.<br />
<br />
Consumers tend to believe that, if a product is on the market, then it must be safe. Unfortunately, that assumption often turns out to be wrong—especially in the unregulated cosmetic industry—sometimes having disastrous health consequences. And this may be the case with spray tanning. Spray tans are generally considered to be benign cosmetic treatments—but are they REALLY?<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered what's in the brown broth being misted all over you to give you that tropical glow? <br />
<br />
Well, once you learn what those spray-tanning agents may be doing to your body, your healthy glow may DIM a bit. Before I discuss specific ingredients, I want to address an even more fundamental concern—and the number one reason I am not a fan of sunless tanning.<br />
<br />
The Number ONE Reason I'm Not a Fan of the Spray Tan<br />
You need sunshine—the real kind—and this is why. Sun exposure in controlled amounts is critical to your health. And the misinformation that all sun exposure causes cancer, which has been promulgated for the past 30 years, has RAISED cancer rates rather than lowering them by making an entire country sun-phobic.<br />
<br />
Sun exposure benefits you by stimulating your skin to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D is a hormone-like substance critical for the vast majority of your biological functions, including:<br />
<br />
•Cardiovascular health <br />
•Cognition <br />
•Sleep <br />
•Immunity <br />
•Metabolism <br />
•Bone strength <br />
•Digestion <br />
And this is just for starters. Vitamin D is the superhero of nutrients, and the best way to get it is from the sun, which causes your skin to manufacture it. Vitamin D levels have been tied to cancer risk—the lower your levels, the higher your risk. Every cell and tissue in your body needs vitamin D to function properly. <br />
<br />
Research suggests that 85 percent of people may be vitamin D deficient, without even knowing it. And sunless tanning is contributing to this problem. The number one thing I have against sunless tanning is that it offers absolutely NONE of the health benefits you would be getting if you were actually receiving ultraviolet exposure. <br />
<br />
It gives you the illusion of good health, instead of the real thing. <br />
<br />
Not only does spray tanning not give you vitamin D, but it may even be damaging your skin's ability to make vitamin D. More about that later...Vitamin D is so important that I have an entire website devoted to it. Now that we've talked about what you're NOT getting from a spray tan, let's look at what you ARE getting when you step into that booth.<br />
<br />
A Potentially Dangerous Brew<br />
Like most cosmetic products, sunless tanners contain a lengthy list of chemical agents—up to 45 in the case of spray tanners. Many of these agents have never been studied for their long-term effects on human health, because the FDA does not systematically review the safety of personal care products. Since testing is voluntary and controlled by the manufacturers, many ingredients in cosmetic products are not safety tested at all.<br />
<br />
We simply don't know what the effects might be—so if you are using cosmetic products, then congratulations, you are an unwitting guinea pig. It is important to understand that, of the 10,500 ingredients used in your sunscreen, shampoo, makeup foundation, and so on, only 13 percent have been reviewed for safety in the last 30 years, according to an Environmental Working Group (EWG) analysis. <br />
<br />
The reviews that have been done were conducted by a fox in the henhouse—the Cosmetics Ingredients Review, which is run by the cosmetics industry!<br />
<br />
Not all ingredients need even be mentioned on the label—if they don't want to include one for some reason, they can just leave it off. Therefore, most personal care product formulations are based on nothing more than marketing success, designed to smell good, look good and feel good when you rub them on your skin, regardless of their impact on your health.<br />
<br />
So, What's In that Tanning Spray?<br />
Although there are many chemicals we don't know much about, let's focus on some of the agents commonly found in tanning sprays that we DO know something about. I will be specifically discussing the following five:<br />
<br />
1.DHA <br />
2.Erythrulose <br />
3.Ethoxydiglycol <br />
4.Parabens <br />
5.Perfumes and coloring agents <br />
Adverse reactions reported by consumers to the FDA after spray tanning include rashes, coughing, dizziness and fainting. It's possible that any one of these chemicals could be responsible, or any combination of them in the 45-ingredient potpourri. <br />
<br />
The Evil DHA is Not an Omega-3 Fat but a Darkening Agent<br />
This is not the DHA that is an important animal based omega-3 fat but one of the main ingredients in today's spray tanning solutions is dihydroxyacetone, a color additive that darkens your skin by reacting with amino acids in your skin's surface layer. Dihydroxyacetone is often abbreviated DHA, Sunless tanning products often contain between 1 and 15 percent DHA; the higher the DHA level, the darker the tan produced.<br />
<br />
Manufacturers of sunless tanning products claim DHA is a simple carbohydrate sugar solution, but some toxicologists disagree. Several years ago, Dr. Thomas Pierce, a toxicologist who investigated the harmful effects of some tanning beds, issued a warning that DHA is not as simple or harmless as it may seem. <br />
<br />
In an interview, Dr. Pierce once said:<br />
<br />
"It is not an ingestible sugar, and no one should be eating it." <br />
<br />
Part of the problem is that the U.S. government's regulations for DHA allow contaminants such as lead, arsenic and mercury. Lead in particular is known to affect brain development, and no one knows how large the effect may be on your baby, should you be pregnant while spray tanning.<br />
<br />
If you are pregnant or nursing, I would urge you to stay away from spray tanning for this reason alone. A report by the National Toxicology Program suggests the risks of DHA remain unclear, pointing to some evidence that DHA may be a mutagen that could induce breaks in DNA strands. Another issue is absorption through your skin. You shouldn't put anything on your skin you wouldn't feel safe eating. <br />
<br />
Absorbing chemicals transdermally is actually MORE dangerous than ingesting them orally, because they can be absorbed directly into your bloodstream without any digestive degradation. Digestive acid works, at least in part, to neutralize some chemicals—but this does not occur when you absorb them transdermally, or inhale them, for that matter. For example, by taking a seven-minute shower you are exposed to more chlorine, DPBs, and VOCs than by drinking a gallon of the same tap water. <br />
<br />
A study performed by the Skin Absorption and Metabolism Section of the FDA, published in the 2004 issue of Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, found as much as 22 percent of the DHA could be absorbed through your skin, as opposed to merely laying on its surface. <br />
<br />
This is additional evidence that what you put ON you, goes IN you.<br />
<br />
But when you have DHA-containing products sprayed on you in a booth, little droplets become suspended in the air all around you, increasing your risk for exposure through your eyes, nose and mouth. Wearing protective gear over your eyes, nose and mouth is extremely important—but it does not remove all the risk.<br />
<br />
Preliminary Study: DHA Blocks Vitamin D Production in Your Skin<br />
On its research page, the Vitamin D Council lists a pilot study (published in 2009 in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology) that examined the effects of sunless tanning sprays on your skin's ability to produce vitamin D. The results are alarming.<br />
<br />
Researchers discovered DHA-containing tanning agents inhibit your skin's ability to produce vitamin D and called for larger studies to be conducted. When your skin darkens from exposure to sunshine you will have elevated vitamin D levels and the darkening process actually serves to protect you from overdosing on vitamin D.<br />
<br />
However, when the dark layer on your skin produced by the DHA results in the prevention of UVB absorption, thereby blocking the creation of vitamin D. Your skin must then repair itself in order to be able to produce vitamin D again, which takes approximately 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
Why is this so significant?<br />
<br />
Many people get a spray tan every week or two, so they are effectively inhibiting their own vitamin D production for weeks or months at a time, exposing themselves to increased cancer risk and a whole host of other problems. Vitamin D levels are already dangerously low in the general public, without adding factors that diminish them even further! More than 50,000 people die every year from inadequate sun exposure and insufficient vitamin D.<br />
<br />
Erythrulose<br />
In a comprehensive recent article about spray tanning, Health Wyze Report discussed several other ingredients commonly found in spray tanning agents. One of those is erythrulose. Erythrulose is used in many sunless tanning blends to increase tan duration and counter the ghastly orange tinge that earlier formulas produced. Health Wyze mentions an Australian public health report from 2008 that found erythrulose genotoxic, meaning it alters your genetic cellular structure. (I was unable to find the specific publication, however.)<br />
<br />
Ethoxydiglycol, an Ether-Based Solvent<br />
Another common ingredient in spray tanners is an ether-containing solvent called ethoxydiglycol (or transcutol CG), which is similar to butylene glycol. The MSDS for this chemical warns it is hazardous if ingested or inhaled, may irritate your skin, is dangerous to your kidneys, and it caused infertility and birth defects in animal studies. Ether is known to be carcinogenic and causes developmental and reproductive problems, hormonal disruptions and allergic reactions.<br />
<br />
Parabens, Preservatives With Estrogenic Effects<br />
Parabens, a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, have been shown to mimic the action of the hormone estrogen, which can drive the growth of human breast tumors. Studies have shown that parabens can affect your body much like estrogens, possibly leading to diminished muscle mass, extra fat storage, and male gynecomastia (breast growth). Studies have also suggested parabens could be linked to breast cancer, as researchers found traces of parabens in every tissue sampled from 20 different breast tumors.<br />
<br />
The EPA has linked methyl parabens in particular to metabolic, developmental, hormonal, and neurological disorders, as well as various cancers.<br />
<br />
Perfumes and Coloring Agents<br />
Perfumes and fragrances are the single largest category of cosmetic and personal care products and are a clever way for manufacturers to hide chemical ingredients from you. Each fragrance can contain thousands of different chemical components—it's virtually impossible to determine what's actually in them. Two problematic compounds in fragrances are phthalates—which have been linked with endocrine disruption, immunosuppression and cancer—and synthetic musk, which contains a slurry of harmful chemicals.<br />
<br />
Allergies and chemical sensitivities are extremely common, and fragrances are notorious for triggering them.<br />
<br />
The FDA allows the fragrance industry to regulate itself, through a trade association known as the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). This association is responsible for conducting safety tests to establish which ingredients are safe to use in their own industry—which should make your warning bells go off.<br />
<br />
The fragrance industry uses more than 5,000 different ingredients, and only about 1,300 have actually been tested. There are serious questions about whether the industry's research institute is really as "independent" as IFRA claims.<br />
<br />
Cosmetic coloring agents in spray tan formulas are dyes unnecessarily added to make you think the tanning is instantaneous. They impart a brown color to the concoction, which immediately turns your skin brown. Some of these absorb into your skin, and others wash off in the shower or rub off on your towel. The coloring agents most often used in spray tanners are Ci 42090, Ci 16255, and Ci 19140. Coloring agents are among the few ingredients cosmetic manufacturers must have approved by the FDA. If the potential health dangers outlined above aren't enough to scare you, this slideshow of Celebrity Spray Tans Gone Wrong may do the trick.<br />
<br />
What Does the FDA Say About Spray Tanning?<br />
The FDA has never specifically approved the use of DHA for spray tanning. The FDA originally approved DHA in the 1970s for topical application ONLY, but this was long before anyone thought it might be sprayed onto people, thereby coming in contact with their lips, lungs and other sensitive mucous membranes.<br />
<br />
According to the FDA:<br />
<br />
DHA is listed in the regulations as a color additive for use in imparting color to the human body. However, its use in cosmetics--including sunless "tanning" products--is restricted to external application (21 CFR 73.2150). According to the CFR, "externally applied" cosmetics are those "applied only to external parts of the body and not to the lips or any body surface covered by mucous membrane" (21 CFR 70.3v). The industry has not provided safety data to the FDA in order for the agency to consider approving it for use on these exposure routes, including "misting" from tanning booths.<br />
<br />
According to the FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, the agency that regulates cosmetics:<br />
<br />
"With the exception of color additives and a few prohibited ingredients, a cosmetic manufacturer may use almost any raw material as a cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an approval from FDA."<br />
<br />
Is Your Spray Tanning Salon Adhering to Safe Practices?<br />
The FDA has recommended you use protective eyewear, plug your nose and cover your lips whenever receiving spray tans, but since there is no law regulating tanning salons, those establishments are not obliged to mention these recommendations or potential risks. Should you decide to use a spray tanning facility, the FDA recommends you ask the following questions:<br />
<br />
•Am I protected from exposure in my entire eye area? <br />
•Am I protected from exposure on my lips and all parts of my body covered by mucous membranes? <br />
•Am I protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product? <br />
If the answer to any of these questions is "no," then you are not protected and you should request safety measures to protect your eyes, lungs and mucous membranes. Dr. David Wade, a toxicologist, recommends that you simply walk out of a spray tan establishment if they don't insist you wear protection. <br />
<br />
My Advice on the Matter<br />
My advice is pretty simple--avoid spray tanning booths and sunless tanning lotions entirely as they provide you with no health benefits, and can actually contribute to worsening your vitamin D levels and are loaded with problematic toxins. A tan obtained by safely exposing yourself to the sun, or a safe indoor tanning system, is health promoting. Saturating your body with potentially toxic chemicals to give it some color is not.<br />
<br />
If you have a bad reaction to a sunless tanner (or any cosmetic product), please take a moment to report it to the FDA by one of two methods:<br />
<br />
1.Report your reaction online at MedWatch (the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program), or call them at 800-332-1088 to request a reporting form. <br />
2.Call the FDA district office consumer complaint coordinator for your geographic area. <br />
By reporting adverse reactions, you can help get unsafe products off the market.<br />

WHEN IT COMES TO THE SKIN'S EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS, AND THE IDEA THAT IT IS SAFER THAN NATURAL SUNLIGHT, ANYONE CAN SEE THE LACK OF COMMON SENSE.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">It’s long been established that our energy body vibrates, as does every organ in our body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every cell, every organ, even every thought vibrates to a certain frequency, so it stands to reason that when we are healthy, we vibrate in a specific way; just as when we become ill, our vibration changes; it becomes slower. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">Our vibrational frequencies can be thrown out of tune by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">trauma</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">negative thought patterns</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">toxins</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">stress</b>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">The overwhelming amount of contrasting frequencies in our modern world from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">cell phones</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">laptops</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">televisions </b>and other <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">electrical devices</b> further throw our natural healthy frequency into chaos. There are so many fun (and legitimately scientifically-based) ways to help the body to remember its healthy frequency and begin to resonate harmoniously again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">Music and sound therapy work just as when a stringed instrument <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>placed in one corner of a room will begin to resonate with the same tone, as another stringed instrument across the room which a particular note or chord has been played.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">Sound therapy is comprehensive…and can be used for diverse conditions including stress reduction, pain management, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and even in cases of addiction. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">It can take the form of many different tools, including cd, chimes, drums, singing bowls, and even tuning forks. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">Tuning forks have been increasingly used by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">chiropractors</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">massage therapists</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">reflexologists </b>and even by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">acupuncturists </b>for patients who may be afraid of needles!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow", "sans-serif";">Because of its non-invasive nature, Sound Therapy is well suited for use with children and pets.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">....AND.....<em>it STILL makes sense to me !</em></span><br />

Trust me; it's still more fun beating on a drum, and will get us into a lot less trouble than actually beating on the person we feel inspired to vent about. But I digress...</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Drum therapy is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chronic pain has a progressively draining effect on quality of life.

<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Drumming boosts the immune system</span>, and it’s a lot more fun than taking a handful of pills everyday.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, recent studies from The National Cancer Institute, claim that group drumming actually increases cancer-<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">killing</i> cells.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Group drumming tunes our biology, orchestrates our immunity, and enables healing to begin on many levels.<b></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Drumming produces a deeper self-awareness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this day of trying to serve too many masters, and therefore serving none (at least no particular one very well), we could all use a little more self-awareness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The physical transmission of rhythmic energy synchronizes the two hemispheres of the brain.
