None of us wants to live a life filled with pain, but logically, we know that probably some pain will come. How much pain? To what extent? Those are haunting questions. If we realize that we do have some control over pain, that may make the experience feel less scary. I speak of these things because I lived for 15 years in extreme pain (from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other symptoms of Lupus, Lyme, Arthritis and autoimmune diseases). I’m well now and counsel people everyday on how to heal from devastating health problems.

1. Pain– constant, terrifying pain– can feel like you’re living inside the impenetrable walls of hell on earth. “Don’t let that be the case.”

You might think that statement sounds flippant; not so. Much of the reality of pain is manifested in your thoughts about the sensation. Pain is not just present in the body; it is a perception processed by the body/mind. Except for the originating pain signal in your stubbed toe or broken finger, the perception of pain is all in the mind.

Note: All sensations (good or bad) are stored as bio-electric memories in every cell of the body. Your body is your mind. Check out Candace Pert’s work, Molecules of Emotion or Cinda Crawford’s new release From the Floor Looking Up which is referenced at the website of the listing below.

Pain in and of itself is not dangerous. It may feel threatening, but to be in a state of pain is not dangerous (unless the body/mind really believes that it will die). Pain is the body’s signal indicating, “something is wrong.” The body responds to the perceived pain/ discomfort stimulus by getting your attention. Pain either indicates that something is slightly amiss (a strong hint) or that “you” may be in real danger (Stop– I’m screaming at you! Pay attention to me!). The worst situation occurs when pain totally incapacitates you and you literally cannot function.

2. Don’t give in to hysteria, irrational behavior or a depressed spirit. Rebelling against pain by letting your emotions slide can only increase the intensity of the pain. Having a healthy attitude sets you up to better receive the special gift that “pain” can bring.

Fighting any condition does not mean it will end. Fighting pain increases its intensity and makes you feel worse. If you “accept” the pain and know that there will be times when it’s better, and possibly a time when it will go away, you will be able to relax into it somewhat and that step down in emotions will help to lessen your pain. Don’t be hysterical or desperate. Try to find the lesson in why you’re having the pain and, ultimately, a gift of knowledge and spirit will come. It may not be immediate, but eventually you will arrive at a new awareness. Simply– lose the fear and expect the blessing.

3. Decide to live in “peace” in whatever state you find yourself. Living in peace with pain takes away its power. You will be able to exert more control over how it affects your life.

Few of us are monks or claim kin to the lineage of Sister Teresa, but many times “saintly”, more spirit-connected people have the right idea of how to approach life. If we simplify our lives and live in peace, there are great lessons to be learned. But us being happy “where” we are and living in pain? Know that we can experience this overwhelmingly expansive and important concept of human nature.
God created us to live full lives during which we constantly change and become more conscious individuals. Therefore, much of our time on Earth has to be spent learning the lessons we’re meant to learn.

4. If you give in to sappy emotions and feel sorry for yourself, your emotions dip down into the negative range where “fear” resides.

According to the work of Dr. David Hawkins of Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, there are only two basic emotions: Love and Fear. Love is a higher vibrating force than fear. If we live in love and acceptance, we will live healthier lives that have a better chance at complete healing. (Hint: We all know instinctively where fear resides.)

Shame comes in at the lowest level with a score of 20 logs (logarithmic progression). Guilt at 30 logs, anxiety at 50 logs, grief at 75 logs and fear (itself) at 100 logs. Once energy rises above “fear,” there is desire at 125 logs, anger at 150 logs, pride at 175 logs, courage at 200 logs, neutrality at 250 logs, willingness at 310 logs, acceptance at 350 logs, reason at 400 logs and love at 500 logs. Above that is joy at 540 logs, peace at 600 logs, enlightenment at 700 to 1,000 logs.

5. Having the courage to get close to “pain” automatically de-fuses its explosive, out-of-control quality.

You cannot sit side by side with something that terrifies you and not learn to live with it better. Fear breeds strong bio-chemicals that have the potential to increase pain.

A wise woman once told me to quit living in fear of my pain. She encouraged me to stop thinking of it as the enemy… to get close to it and “be” with it. She said I would feel better and she was right. By doing as she suggested, my pain lessened in intensity. Therefore, I got the upper hand.

Aromatherapy uses the concentrated scented oils of plants to enhance the human state of mind or mood, and to encourage health and healing. Lavender, as an example, may be used to relax a person and promote sleep, while the scent of cinnamon is used as a motivator. Some scents, like white jasmine, are thought to draw love from the universe. Candles, bath products, incense and body oils and lotions are common methods used for aromatherapy. A less common but equally effective method of deploying aromas is to wear jewelry that has reservoirs that may be used to hold your favorite scents and keep them with you all the time.

Aromatherapy jewelry comes in many forms, shapes and sizes including necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets. Most common are the necklaces that include a locket or other pendant which contains a small pad or reservoir that may be used to hold the scent. Put a drop of scented oil on the pad, or fill the reservoir with your favorite spice and wear it around your neck to keep your scent with you around the clock. Lockets are not the only way to go either, some companies offer small vials, cords, or pendent’s that can do the same thing. Aromatherapy jewelry lockets come in many shapes and sizes. The traditional shapes like hearts, the sun, the Celtic cross, the pentacle, roses, and various animals including dragons are the most common. Vials too come with many different shapes and sizes. Most have engraved patterns to add decor. The costs of these lockets or vials range anywhere from $20 to $75 dollars, depending on your personal tastes.

Finding Aromatherapy Jewelry

Aromatherapy jewelry is not quite as common as candles and scented oils are. Not many stores stock these products so your best bet is to find a store with a New Age slant. These types of stores will often stock aromatherapy jewelry. Another option is to find privately owned store that carries aromatherapy products or to attend Renaissance type festivals where these types of products are often showcased. shopping online is also an option. EBay, as an example does often have aromatherapy products listed for sale. Wearing a locket or vial with your favorite scent is a good way of promoting good health, and can help lift your mood all day. It is a fun and very easy way to enjoy aromatherapy.

Running a few 5K races this summer is an excellent way to challenge yourself. Once you’ve decided to start racing, you should incorporate training runs and cross-training into your regular workout routine. Combine running, strength training, core strength, and other forms of cardio into your routine to improve your performance when race day arrives.

Make your training fun and challenging by tracking your distances and times for each training run. Incorporate indoor and outdoor runs, sprints, hills, and distance to keep training runs interesting. When it’s time to strength train, be sure to work the entire body as opposed to focusing only on your legs. The running motion incorporates upper body, lower body, and core muscle groups and training the entire body will improve your performance.

I found two studies that talked about strength training and running being used together in a training program. In the first study, it was found that explosive strength training improved the 5K time endurance athletes [1]. The second study indicated that endurance athletes could benefit from strength training if they were doing certain activities that required fast-twitch muscle fibers [2].

These studies were done on trained endurance athletes and indicated some positive correlations between strength training and running. Most athletes, beginners and advanced, should benefit from strength training as a cross-training activity to improve 5K time [1], although endurance runners who run 4-6 days per week may not see notable improvement in running performance for longer races [2].

If you have just signed up for one of your first races or you haven’t raced in a long time, you definitely want to start training runs at least 4 weeks before race day (for a 5K). If the race you’ve chosen is a longer than 5K, plan on training at least 8 weeks prior to the race.

You can design your own race training program with a simple calender and a few ideas. As a beginner in moderate physical condition, running a 5K, you can run twice per week and strength train twice per week for the first four weeks. For the second four weeks, include 3 runs in your training regimen and strength train twice per week.

If you have any questions, let me know by sending me an email!

Good Luck!

Because I believe diet and exercise are so important, I’m often frustrated with the recommendations I receive. Nutrition and natural health ideas are often so negative (don’t eat this, watch out for that) or so rigorous (be sure to eat some raw, natural, organically grown vegetable I’ve never heard of) or so complicated, I end up ignoring them. And yet, I know diet is critical to my health and well-being, so I made up my own rules. My objective was simplicity, so all of you with greater will-power and more discipline, cut me some slack, OK? For the rest of us, I hope you find them useful.

1. Eat less. I used to eat until I was full, and then snack as a hobby. And, sometimes I still do. But, more and more, I decide when I’ve eaten enough, leave room for a treat later, and simply choose to eat a little less. I think it helps.

2. Drink more water. I used to try to drink 8 glasses a day, but I usually ended up either losing count…or just going to the bathroom a lot. Now, on my way to the table I stop by the sink and grab a glass of water. I figure that’s more water than most people drink, it probably helps me eat less (see Rule #1), and sometimes it reminds me to drink even more. Close enough.

3. Eat more fruit. Benjamin Franklin said, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” I just know apples, a banana, some grapes or something “exotic” like a mango or a kiwi tastes good, and it’s the fastest, most portable and convenient food I’ve found. A handful of those little baby carrots beats a sandwich by a good 90 seconds!

4. Eat your vegetables. Yeah, still listening to my mother. But on the positive side, they’re so easy! No sauces, no mixing or blending or nothing! Raw, steamed or microwaved, they’re great for adding color to a meal (greens, yellows, and beans in all sorts of colors). I know fresh and organically grown is best, and sometimes I buy them that way….

5. Eat more rice and baked potatoes. I score points with my doctor, my “significant other” and again, it’s about the easiest cooking I’ve figured out.

6. Stretch when you feel like it. I used to follow a routine that recommended stretching and yoga for about 30 minutes every morning. Wonderful stuff! Very healthy. And someday I’m going to give it another try! For now, every morning, and several times during the day, I stand up and try to reach the ceiling. I bend, twist, shake my shoulders, breath deep, whatever seems to feel good at the moment. Then I get back to work.

7. Avoid exercise and elevators. OK, I believe jogging and sweating and lifting weights are good for me. And I do some of it. But I also find it useful to walk around the block to get the mail (the box is across the street) or take the stairs instead of the elevator. I walk the dog, push the lawnmower and play tennis and golf with my friends. That way I figure I’m exercising and leaving the gyms open for the rest of you.

8. Spend time with friends. Talking, sharing dreams, giving and receiving support, solving life’s great mysteries and debating politics or religion with a friend does wonders for the soul. And, hugs are good. And if you have a life-partner, I find talking regularly seems to avoid a number of other problems, as well!

9. Laugh every day. Tell a joke, wrestle with your dog or play with the kids next door, but have some fun! Life’s short.

10. Plan for dessert! At the end of the day, I really like something special to top it all off. So, I plan for a bite of chocolate or a cup of low-fat pudding or yogurt or a handful of fresh grapes. It sure seems to beat restlessly searching the cupboards and refrigerator for “something” and ending up with a big bowl of ice cream!

Finally, a few words of experience. It’s OK to “slip” once in a while. At least it better be OK…I seem to do it periodically. Just get up again tomorrow, make the rules simpler, more fun or more appropriate for your situation and get right back on! I don’t think the objective is perfection — there’s no point in having a heart attack getting all stressed out about the rules! Just go have some fun!

Hair loss is one of Ol’ Vanity’s direst banes, and it may be because it is the centerpiece of man’s vanity. Gone are the days when hair loss was regarded as a medical symptom of something wrong in one’s system – a mere medical concern. Nowadays, it’s also the concern of dermatologists and hair specialists – the proponents of public appearances. There is a proliferation of endorsements regarding permanent transplant, wigs and other alternative solutions to hair loss these days, and the contest is always on for which one will be the most popular than the others.

Whatever may be the reason for the hair loss, when strands of hair start to fall off and panic sets in, going totally bald is preferred over having sparsely and unevenly distributed hair. Some people are comfortable with baldness, and it is, in fact, becoming a trend not only among the men but even among the women. These people say it is even more trendy to be unconventional. History has it, though, that pretty soon, what is unconventional will eventually become more popular.

On the other hand, there are people who dread losing their hair and going bald. These people would frantically look for a fitting solution to their particular hair loss problem. These people resort to permanent transplant, wigs, topical or oral medications to alleviate their hair problem. Permanent hair transplant is still a scary thought to some conservative folks. The idea of grafting the skin to transfer the healthy hair follicles to the diseased portion of the head requires needles — and not too many people feel comfortable with needles. Topical applications or oral medications are not suitable to some people because these may cause one or more particular allergic reactions.

Instead of medications or permanent transplant, wigs could be the most attractive option mainly because one can avail of the variety of personalities that could result from a variety of hairstyles and hair dyes on the wigs. Toupees for men, and wigs for women, are more popularly accepted especially for people who are public figures, like the politicians and people in the entertainment world. Keeping the hairpiece on and right side up is challenging, too; but if worn correctly, the hairpiece is hardly detectable as artificial. For it to fit snugly, wigs should be custom-made instead of bought off the shelf. Inability to keep the wig in place could turn out to be an icebreaker anywhere.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (or Cot Death as it is known in some countries), is the biggest recognized cause of death in babies under the age of 12 months. This harrowing condition happens while the child is sleeping. Unfortunately, so far there is no known cure, or even a known explanation in fact, as to why some babies are affected by the syndrome while others aren’t. The fact is though that over 2,500 infants die in America annually from cot death.

Even though the number of infant deaths have been slashed by approximately forty percent by the instigation of preventative measures and following baby sleep safety techniques to protect babies from SIDS, there unfortunately is no way to fully sidestep the occurrence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Tips for Baby Sleep Safety

*Ensure your baby sleeps on his or her back. Cot death has been closely linked to children sleeping on their tummies.

*Ensure your baby sleeps on a firm mattress. Avoid types of fluffy toys or baby pillows that could cause suffocation.

*Do not let baby overheat in the night. Infants have a higher body temperature than us and do not need so many blankets – do not let your infant be too cold either though!

*Don’t take drugs, drink alcohol or smoke either before or after your baby’s birth. Smoke from cigarettes is known to be a factor that can contribute to SIDS.

*Join in with early and parental care clinics, in particular if you are a parent for the first time.

*Breast feed your infant if it is possible. Breast fed babies are statistically not as likely to be affected by SIDS.

*Consider offering your baby a pacifier throughout the first 12 months of life. It is not known why but infants that are given a pacifier during this time are not as likely to be claimed by Cot Death.

*Do not sleep with your infant in the same bed or let baby sleep in a normal adult bed. A baby has a higher chance of suffocating when in a bed that has been designed for adults. It is fine to comfort and feed an infant in bed as long as he or she is taken back to his or her proper cot afterwards.

SIDS is not the same as any other disease or syndrome. Most conditions surrounding a childs death are diagnosed by symptoms associated with the death. Cot Death however is only diagnosed once any other possibilities are dismissed.

Risk Factors

There are a number of notable trends or specific risk factors that can be spotted in data related to SIDS. All of these should be considered by mothers and fathers that have infants in a high-risk category.

*Boys are more likely than girls to die from SIDS. There is little that can be done about this fact, it is simply included here as a notation.

*Drug use, drinking alcohol and smoking are thought to be three of the main contributory factors to Cot Death. In simple terms, if you love your baby, do not use hurtful drugs like these!

*Poor parental care. First-time or young parents are at the greatest risk. However, if a parent ensures they get early and frequent parental care checks and also have the backing of friends and family, the risk of this happening is significantly reduced.

*Babies born prematurely are at an increased dangers of SIDS. Premature babies at birth have a disadvantage initially and are often quite fragile and under developed. This is again more a note than a specific prevention.

*Mothers who are less than 20 years of age are at danger of having a child die from Cot Death. This can be for a collection of reasons such as plain inexperience or accidental neglect.

By using the tips I’ve listed above and being aware of the potential dangers and also implementing the precautions for baby sleep safety you can lower the likelihood of losing a baby to SIDS. For parents who have sadly lost a baby to Cot Death there are several tremendous support groups available to help in going through the process of grieving.

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and the skin is the first. Every year, you can make sure your liver is healthy by doing a liver cleanse during spring.

The liver is responsible for filtering and detoxifying your blood, so you want to make sure that it is in top condition. Many times our liver and body gets overloaded with toxins from the poor food we eat and the unhealthy lifestyles we lead. This can make us feel tired, sluggish and just out of sorts. And, if you want to lose weight, without good liver function, you will find that difficult to do. So, it is a good idea to cleanse the liver at least once a year.

Milk Thistle is an excellent herb that can be used to cleanse and promote health in the liver. Its active ingredient is Silymarin, which helps protect and detoxify the liver. There are many supplements that contain just Milk Thistle or you can find it in combination with other helpful herbs. You can find it in capsule or liquid. I like using the liquid, since it’s easier to carry around and use. After I take my Milk Thistle, I drink 8-10 glasses of distilled water a day. This helps to run more blood through the kidney to clean out the toxins and debris from the blood.

For my liver cleanse I used a liquid herb combination from the American Botanical Pharmacy called “Liver/Gall Bladder Anti-Parasite Formula” (L/GB-AP) by Dr. Richard Schulze. It comes in a 2 oz. bottle with a dropper.

Use 2 droppers full, 3-4 times per day for one week.

This formula has a combination of herbs. The first five herbs listed below are great liver herbs. The other herbs are for cleansing the body of parasites. Parasites can live in the liver and other organs including the brain and colon.

* Milk Thistle Seed

* Dandelion Root

* Oregon Grape Root

* Gentian Root

* Wormwood leaf and flower

* Mojave Chaparral, Black

* Walnut hulls

* Ginger Rhizome

* Garlic Bulb

* Fennel Seed.

Every morning when I get up, during this liver cleanse, I drink the juice of one lemon in warm water. This was hard to get used at first because this is really bitter for me. If this is the case for you, just add a little honey. If you like lemons, then you will like doing this liver cleanse.

I hope you can take the time to cleanse your liver, since springtime only comes around once a year and your liver is central to a healthy body.
