Curiosity fuels success
People who are curious succeed in business and in social situations more than people who hold back their curiosity. All of us start out as curious infants, exploring our world as busily as we can. Curiosity is built-in and propels development of our senses and our abilities.
Often, curiosity is halted because of societal restraints, family restraints, and environmental barriers. People who experience too much repression of their natural curiosity add to the repression by quashing their urges t...

Same you, new view
The view from inside is often critical and too focused. Self-examination usually reveals missteps and mistakes, faulty executions, and missing sound evaluations.
In reality, missteps and mistakes might have happened, but at a lower level than the internal review presented. People tend to be too self-critical and judgmental.
What is the new view?
The new view is examination without negative judgment, evaluation without name-calling and put-downs. The new view is passionate but realistic, thorough...

Taste! Truly taste!
The food arrives.
See it, truly see it!
See the colors and the shapes. See the savoring and the nourishment.
Smell it, truly smell it!
Notice the separateness and the combination.
Taste it, truly taste it!
Put a small amount on your tongue and then feel it in your mouth. Feel the texture and the flavor. Let the sensation of first bite awaken the appetite for more to come.
Eat with enjoyment. Savor the process. Chew and move the food in your mouth deliberately, tasting the mouthfuls, one after the ot...

Uneven breathing—the balancing breath
- Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.
The rhythm of breathing.
– Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.
The motivator of healing.
Releasing with the exhale.
Circulating with the inhale.
– Body well.
– Health urged.
Rhythmic breathing is natural. Inhalations and exhalations of equal length are usual when the body is at rest. When the body is in motion, the rhythm changes, but the lengths of the inhalations and exhalations remain relatively equal.
Rhythmic breathing of unequal lengths can be used for developi...

Life with pain
Back pain, headaches, knee pain, reflux, stomachaches, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), toothaches, constipation, tendonitis, neck pain, and more.
Pain occurs because of deliberate infliction, injury, poor choices, ill-use, and improper posture (when standing, sitting, reaching, lifting, reclining, or working). Pain can be interesting or fearsome, over-preened or overlooked, intense or annoying. The anticipation of pain is less frightening when awareness of its cause and extent are known. Chroni...

What happens when life is lived elsely
elsely: 1. Not authentic 2. Not according to design
Each person receives a soul when born, and this soul dictates direction and clarity. As described in Awaiting Light—Understanding the Development of the Soul:
“The souldetermines personality, the types of things that draw our interest and attention, our pace in absorbing information and performing activities, our pull towards certain times of the day and seasons, our comfort with temperature and weather variations/frequencies, our moods and mo...

The importance of friendships
(taken from my article of the same name on Relationship.Answers.com )
A woman I know recently celebrated her birthday unhappily. Her personal celebration was doing nothing except watching reruns of TV shows and eating cookies—alone. Her Facebook page had numerous birthday wishes, which made her feel remembered—sort of. Her family is scattered, so her family celebration was minor.
Birthday celebrations are not the topic. The point about this woman’s birthday is that she has not built friendships...

Balancing the balancing—the intertwined design of life
(taken from my article of the same name on Healing.Answers.com )
“The design of the body is just exact and nearly as beautiful as the most beautifulobject. Being brilliantly designed and executed, the body accompanies its inhabitant throughout the body’s existence. Beautiful in motion, in repose, in its beginning and in its ending, ….” from the chapter “Connection of the Four Components of Health” in Pond a Connected Existence.
“Being brilliantly designed and executed” is the description of the...

Concrete Living
From the chapter “Concrete Living” in Oneself—Living:
“The sky is ever changing. The weeds are ever growing. The sand is ever shifting. The bugs are ever multiplying. Natural elements always change, grow (from beginning to end), shift, and/or multiply. The natural order is just so.
People too are ever changing, growing, shifting, and multiplying. The natural order is just so. The body changes, takes in, lets out, grows up, withers away, builds, processes, and moves.
Life is not concrete; life is...

Binging on sweets—effects and repercussions
Since accepting the guidance of food intake through Energy Guidance Complete, I have maintained a healthful diet that has enabled me to lose weight healthfully, achieve stable energy throughout the day, and strengthen my body.
Today, for the first time in over two years, I binged on sweets. Not like I would have in the past—my body simply couldn’t handle that—but a binge nonetheless. Before my change in diet, I binged on sweets off and on. My body has always been kind, and I rarely suffered st...
