Your nightly dreams can aid you in healing relationships, your body, and life. Dreams can help you solve problems and face fears. Dreams can help you discover the true longings of your soul. You start by learning to recall your dreams and then learn to interpret your own personal dream symbols and language.

For example, what does it mean if you miss a plane, train or ride. What does it mean if you are being chased? Or, flying?

Enjoy this Dream Flash Show on common dream themes, excerpted from Laura Grace’s Dreams for Healing course.

Dreams are the language of the heart and soul. What are your dreams telling you these days?

Looking for ways to elevate your mood, shift your thoughts, or just feel a sense of hope on a daily basis? Laughing and joining in humor continue to elicit the positive emotions and hopeful outlook that many are seeking today.

The Positive Effects of Laughter
According to psychologist, David H. Rosen, from Texas A & M, as high as 94% of people deem lightheartedness as a necessary factor in dealing with difficulties associated with stressful life events. Dr. Rosen and other colleagues conducted a study involving 200 people ranging in age from 18 - 42. The study appeared in the International Journal of Humor Research and revealed that viewing a 15 minutes comedy video increased the participants’ scores for hopefulness. Dr. Rosen further explained that the hopefulness was in alignment with creating positive thoughts as a tool for managing difficulties.

Mary Poppins, the popular 1964 Disney movie featuring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, has a classic scene with the song, “I Love to Laugh.”  By thinking positive thoughts and laughing, the characters rise to the ceiling and engage in hearty laughter.  So long as one is laughing, you can stay near the ceiling.  As soon as sad thoughts come and the laughing stops, you float back to the floor.

Isn’t it interesting that laughter research findings and musicals can identify a similar outcome?  Being lighthearted and generating those positive thoughts can be tools for elevating one’s mood and maybe experience that euphoric lift like Mary Poppins.

High on laughter?  What a hopeful idea.

Lynn Shaw is the creator and author of the online laughter course Laughter for the Healing Heart. She invites you to discover the healing effects of laughter starting today.

For those of you who wonder what is thermography, thermography is a diagnostic procedure that uses thermal imaging (a sort of infrared imaging science) for the detection of illness.  Breast thermography uses images of the breasts to aid in the early detection of breast cancer.  This first thermography will be my “base line.”  I’ll learn more in several weeks once the images have been evaluated by Dr. Getson.

I want to point out that I’ve no family history of breast cancer.  Also, we eat a diet consisting of no meat.  Meat contains pesticides, antibiotics, hormones (estrogens), etc.  Consuming large amounts of meat are now being associated with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes to name a few degenerative diseases.  Diabetes is strong in my family genetics while cancer is strong in my husband’s gene pool.  In our household, we get our daily protein source from soy, eggs, wheat meat, beans, and/or nuts, and we occasionally eat fish.  We also eat whole grains, organic fruits, and vegetables daily.

Some of you may find these guidelines to breast health of interest.

If any of you reading this have experience with this diagnostic procedure, we’d be interested in hearing your comments.

To your health and healing,

Oxygen Therapy Is Valuable, Sometimes

By JANE E. BRODY

Published: March 9, 2009

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was long called a treatment in search of diseases. But in recent years, laboratory and clinical studies have found more than a dozen serious diseases for which it is considered a valuable — and sometimes life-saving — treatment.

Although the administration of pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber has been around as a therapy for more than 300 years, it is only now beginning to reach its potential, according to a report in the November issue of the journal Emergency Medicine… read full NYT article here:http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/10/health/10brody.html

Witnessing the transformative and healing journeys of people, whether it’s on the popular TV show “The Biggest Loser” or as documented in the new DVD “SIMPLY RAW: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days“, inspires and underlines the fact that the healing process can indeed be a challenging one.

Those of you who have taken our online courses also inspire us when you report details of your transformative and healing experiences. Doing the hard work (or the home work) and courageously stepping through that figurative door or portal towards emotional, spiritual or physical healing is not always easy but there is always some form of light at the end of all dark tunnels. We wish you well as you start or continue your current voyage and hope some article or offering below might support you on your journey.

Dear Marty: The Imminent Departure of My Two Little Dogs by Marty Tousley, Bereavement Counselor

I never knew my grandfather as he died of a heart attack at age 53, soon after I was born.  Numerous relatives on my father’s side of the family, the Slavic side, have suffered from diabetes; my grandfather and both his sisters all had diabetes and died from complications of this dis-ease.  Family lore says, they all continued to eat candy despite their condition.  Of my generation, my older brother was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in his late 30s (over 10 years ago).  So it was with great personal interest that I reviewed the new DVD Simple Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days.  I found its message to be inspiring yet simple.  And I found the individual stories, their reasons for and reactions toward embracing (or resisting) a new life style, compelling.

Like the popular reality television show, The Biggest Loser (minus the drill sergeant type trainers - Bob and Julian), this documentary is about a group’s healing journey.  The support and emotional bonds that evolve between them are real and touching at times.

Find press release below.

SIMPLY RAW: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days

Gabriel Cousens M.D, Anthony Robbins, Woody Harrelson, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Morgan Spurlock, David Wolfe & More Discuss the Healing Power of Raw Foods in New Film

BETHEL, CT (January 27, 2009)-A fascinating, independent film follows the remarkable journeys of six diabetics (Type 1 and 2) for 30 days as they take the “Raw Challenge” to reverse their disease naturally without prescription drugs by eating only organic, vegan, uncooked, ‘raw foods’ despite the American Medical Association’s claim that “Diabetes is a chronic disease that has no cure.” Their physiological and emotional transformations are featured in a new DVD entitled Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days (March 2009).

Set at The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona founded by Gabriel Cousens, M.D., the film follows the participants as they are challenged to give up their traditional, American diets consisting of meat, dairy, sugar, processed foods, and cooked foods, as well alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine, as they continue to reduce their dosages of insulin and prescription medications. The results are astounding.

“One of the most potent, pandemic diseases is Type 2 diabetes affecting 246 million people worldwide. We need to wake up to the possibility that simply changing our diet can significantly reverse and even cure this disease. The results of the participants in this documentary offer evidence of that,” states Dr. Cousens.   The author of There’s a Cure for Diabetes and founder of The Tree of Life, Gabriel Cousens, MD is a well-known holistic medical doctor for 35 years and published authority on alternative healing and raw living food nutritional therapies. He has helped thousands heal myriad diseases through the power of raw foods.

A diet consisting of plant-source only, raw foods is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition for its power to heal and rejuvenate, as well as maintain health at a high energy level. The raw diet mostly consists of fruits, vegetables, grains, sprouts, nuts and seeds. It is a vegan diet (no meat, cheese, eggs or milk), but with one caveat: It is prepared at temperatures less than between 118 degrees Fahrenheit to preserved the natural enzymes, nutrients and the food’s life-force energy from the sun. When food is cooked, 50 percent of the protein is lost, 70-80 percent of the vitamins and minerals are lost, and close to 100 percent of the phytonutrients are destroyed.

Simply Raw chronicles the transformation of six “real life” participants - with no prior knowledge of a plant-source only, raw food way of life - all struggling with diabetes. Their inspiring transformations are documented over 30 days. Upon arrival at the Tree of Life, the group receives physical exams and medical tests under the care of Dr. Cousens and his staff.  Daily medical discussions and support group meetings teach the participants about food selection and preparation as well as exercise, meditation and yoga. Throughout the film, we witness moments of struggle, support, and hope.  Remarkably nearly all of the participants were able to attain normal blood sugar levels and eliminate their insulin and prescription drug intake they depended on for decades.

The Simply Raw film has inspired a movement www.rdnmovement.com, to bring together people from around the world to reverse diabetes naturally through the spreading of educational resources on nutrition such as the Simply Raw film and “The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Raw Food Lifestyle”. An RDN Action Day is slated for April 25, 2009.

The Simply Raw DVD is available for purchase at simplyrawmovie.com or at amazon.com.  Running time:  88 minutes.

Get Ready for Your Soulmate by Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway		Feng Shui Your Way to Love and Self Worth by Deobrah Redfern

This week National Public Radio reported that thousands of people in Northern Ireland stood united in a silent protest, at noon, against the recent terrorist attacks. I listened with hope; hope that the tipping point for peace in Northern Ireland would be sustained there.

In our Holistic Prayers course, lesson 4 discusses “Collective Prayer and the Silent Minute” which I’ve excerpted here:

The Silent Minute
During World War II, Tudor Pole, advisor to Winston Churchill, initiated “The Silent Minute” in which the people of Britain collectively prayed in silence for a minute each night as Big Ben stuck 9 PM - just before the evening news. After the war, Nazi records noted the Britons had “a secret weapon connected to Big Ben.” The Nazis never uncovered the nature of this secret weapon.

To me, this is a wonderful illustration of the power of collective consciousness. By uniting together in our intentions, be that prayer or simple acts of kindness, the collective consciousness will evolve, creating a more harmonious world for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

“Source of my Being, help me to live in Peace
And save my Home, the Planet Earth.”
(The Silent Minute Peace Prayer, originated in 1994 by The Silent Minute Organization)

In Thom Hartmann’s book, The Prophet’s Way, Hartmann quotes his mentor Herr Muller as saying, “Why have I always told you that the greatest tool for good, the most powerful way to change the world, is to secretly commit little acts of compassion? It does not matter that people know what you are doing, but rather that you do it. When a large enough number of people finally do something, or something is done enough times, be it prayer or vegetarianism or whatever, it will then happen everywhere, to everyone. It will suddenly seem to be just normal.”
