Choosing a quiet place to relax is as important as relaxation itself,
And of course dedicated to the most loved person in your life…you~you~yourself.
A favourite couch, chair, sofa……bed….
Soft easy soothing music playing in the background.
Ease yourself into your most comfortable position,
Closing your eyes and after a few moments, quieting your mind.
You are in your secret garden alone, and enriching your being.
Enjoying the beauties of nature all around you.
In your minds eye, you are walking, looking, touching, embracing the scene.
Azaleas and rose bushes and many varieties of blooms and shrubs
To suit your fancy, what ever you desire is there for your eyes to relish on.
In one corner sits a greenhouse filled with a 100 varieties of orchids.
All your senses are totally emancipated:
Exquisite colors excite your eyes,
Enchanting fragrances soothe your sense of smell;
Soft velvety petals titillate your touch;
Magical Beauty speaks to you in telepathic waves quieting your voice and hearing;
No need to walk as everywhere around you, all is within your reach.
Each tune that plays compliments and comforts a particular sense.
Your Secret Garden is your utopia living within, revitalizing,
refreshing and you drift away.
Your mind capturing the peace, enticing it to stay,
slowly, slowly your breathing remains steady….
Trancelike you feel totally refreshed, and with one last look at your Secret Garden,
absorbing in the peace and beauty all around,

Think out of the box for a moment with me. What if the symptoms you have: headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, or whatever else you want to add to the list, exist to serve a purpose? What if the only reason your symptoms are there are for you to learn something from? Radical?

Track with me. Think of pain in emotional terms, like the symptom you have has a specific emotional state associated with it. It means something.

The enigma of Jun Labo.

Together with my colleague Patrick Hamouy (of Alternative Therapies) , we met with Jun and were his guest recently at his residence in the mountain regions of northern Luzon, its location and altitude in the Cordiella mountain range keep it cool and pleasant during the hot and extremely humid summer months. His house is somewhat of an Oriental palace, with pagodas, roof gardens, terraces within terraces, large statues of lions, eagles, frogs, gnomes, and with an eclectic mixture of painted murals and bas-reliefs of ancient Chinese symbols, and warriors in combat. The gardens are filled with beautiful blossoms, and exotic tropical trees, and of course the local mountain pines. Jun has also dedicated a ’shrine’ to his first car (a VW Beetle) in the grounds.

What do these people have in common?

• A young man who has vomiting and diarrhea after eating spoiled food
• A middle aged woman who is taking a water pill, called a diuretic, to control her blood pressure
• An elderly man with poorly functioning kidneys, who has been taking the same blood pressure medications for years and who missed his recent doctor’s appointment

All these people are at risk for potassium imbalance…either too little potassium like the young man who’s been vomiting and the woman taking fluid pills or too much potassium like the elderly man with worsening kidney function.

The answer seems to be yes. Our pets are getting fatter just like us and a whopping 76% of veterinary practices now have ‘fat clinics’ for pets. It is estimated anywhere between 30-60% of all dogs and cats in the UK are overweight.

There are many cases of colon cancer today, with significantly more people being diagnosed with this potentially deadly disease below age 50 than previously. Colon cancer used to be considered a disease of the elderly, but nowadays many younger people are diagnosed with this kind of disease. This is more because of unhealthy lifestyles such as eating habits, lack of exercises and many other factors.

People tend to consume junk food and any other foods that are over-processed and contain high fat and sugar. This allows the chemically-laced food to sit in colon for longer time and lead to the cancer disease.

If you recently received or will receive an invitation to join AARP (or maybe not so recently), then you can consider yourself a baby boomer. The accepted definition for a baby boomer in the U.S. is anyone born between 1946 and 1964. Most marketing experts consider this generation to be the most influential and powerful generation to ever come along. We have been changing things every decade as we enter new arenas - be they political, social or financial. Now our generation is starting to approach retirement, and as usual we are redefining everything again. We expect our retirement to be much more active then that of our parents and grandparents. One of the challenges we face is making sure that we stay healthy enough to do all the active things we want to accomplish. A chief concern for our continued or renewed health is proper weight control.

Golf is the most global sport. It is played in nearly every country in the world; its professional tournaments are contended in every continent and, unlike soccer, the Americans are pretty darn good at it. This makes for the highest profile intercontinental competition of all - the Ryder cup - whose power over the emotions of millions of transatlantic spectators is so great that it constitutes the only fortnight in a two-and-a-half year cycle that all Britons are happy to call themselves ‘European‘. Its so linked to a global view, in fact, that holidays are often built around it and even travel insurance is available which gives you a cash payout for a hole-in-one.
