Whenever you reach beyond yourself and your own challenges and concerns of the moment to give to another human being you are immediately rewarded. This reward may not come from that person themselves in the form of a thank you or even the return of a similar favor but rather from the feeling you get of knowing that you come from a place of abundance.

We can only give that which we have to give. What this means is that when you reach out to someone else you innately understand that you have something to offer. You also understand that this is a situation where you temporarily have more, and the other person temporarily has less. This role will change from time to time and from person to person.

It is also important that you be willing to receive from other people. There is no greater frustration than having a gift that you wish to share and no one to share it with. The gifts that you have to share do not have to be big or huge. It can be as small as a smile or a kind word.

One of the ways of maintaining a positive mental attitude and that healthy sense of well-being in life is to constantly be aware of all the ways in which you can share with others and which they and the universe at large are constantly giving to you in both small and large ways. By counting your blessing you will see the opportunities you have, to give to someone else and become more and more open to the abundance and grace that exists within your own life.

Wholistic Psychology (I prefer the root word of ‘Whole’ rather than ‘Hole’) is solid psychology with a mind-body-spirit integrative approach. So a person that says they are a Wholistic Psychologist must by law be a licensed psychologist first and foremost. A person that practices Wholistic Psychology looks at many different things that can affect a person’s mental and emotional issues.

Dr. Cherie M Valeithian, Ph.D. says it well on her webpage…. “Let me explain what I mean by “wholistic.” I believe emotional, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected. Therefore, in addition to addressing mental and emotional problems, I also discuss health habits (diet, exercise, etc.) and spirituality (that which gives your life meaning, whether part of an organized religion or not).”

When a person is dealing with anxiety, a Wholistic Psychotherapist will look at many possible reasons for that anxiety and therefore make wholistic recommendations for decreasing the anxiety (not just mental or emotional ones).

Integrative Medicine has taught us the value of looking at the whole person when they come to the doctor’s office for a physical problem. Wholistic Psychology does the same thing for a mental or emotional problem.

Wholistic Psychology = Solid Psychology Training + Integrative Mind-Body-Spirit Modalities (i.e. herb, vitamins, diet, flower essences, homeopathy, ETT, EMDR, EFT, meaning of life, spiritual issues, etc.). A person that practices Wholistic Psychology has many different “tools” in their therapeutic “tool box” they can use to help you feel better and move forward in your life.

When we are in a state of love we experience all of what we would judge to be the positive feelings; joy, connection, trust, warmth, and of course peace. When our mind and our body is in a peaceful state are very neuro-chemistry supports our health and well-being. When we move into a state of fear, however, this very same neuro-chemistry begins to create toxins and cause our bodies to shut down and deteriorate. This is the beginning middle and end of the dis-ease process.

Each and every day we are offered many opportunities to choose whether we wish to be in a state of love are fear. When we hear about oil spills, wars, famines, or other disasters is up to us whether this moves us into a state of fear or opened our hearts to reach out. Unfortunately, most people tend to react in fear when they hear of some disaster or catastrophe. It is vitally important that we learn how to read center ourselves and return to that sense of inner peace that allows us to feel connected not only to each other but to our Source as well. As we practice discerning between love and fear and willingly choosing to release the fear we support ourselves and others in growing and evolving in consciousness as human beings.

One of the things that that can be done to assist in choosing between love and fear is to simply take the time to make a list of all the feelings that are associated with love in all the feelings that are associated with fear. Once this is done, take a long look at this list and make the decision which feelings are the most supportive of your growth and development.

Love and light,
Dr. Rusty Barrier

Every single being on the planet is a divine child of God. It is up to you and I to recognize this essence within each of us. Far too often we become distracted and confused by the behavior of the individual and never look within to see who they really are.

When we take the time to truly see another person, it opens our heart and causes us to join with them in a very deep and intimate level. This intimacy is often frightening and sometimes painful as we begin to see who they are and what is behind the behavior they exhibit. It is important to realize that just because we are willing to see the person and to recognize that the essence of their being is love, it does not mean that we have to be present when they are acting out in that behavior. It does mean that we still recognize them as a divine child of God regardless of the behavior.

The K vitamin is essential for the blood to clot to repair injuries. Whenever a person has a bleeding wound, it is the K vitamin that is present in the blood that stops the bleeding and enables most minor cuts to heal quickly.

There are three different forms of the K vitamin. The first variant of the K vitamin is vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone. This is the form of the K vitamin that is found in types of plant foods. Vitamin K found in plant foods. The second form of the K vitamin is the vitamin K2, or menaquinone. This type of the K vitamin is formed by friendly bacteria in the intestines. Thirdly, there is vitamin K3 which is also known as menadione and is actually an artificial form of the K vitamin. All three of these types of K vitamin end up in the liver where it is used to create the blood clotting substances.

The best natural sources of the K vitamin are green leafy vegetables, such as spinach. However, because the friendly bacteria in the intestine makes one of the forms of the K vitamin it is extremely rare for a person to have a deficiency of the K vitamin and so K vitamin supplements are not needed by the majority of people.

Apart from the main function of helping blood to clot, the K vitamin, specifically the Vitamin K1, has an important part to play in the bone building process. This K vitamin is required to retain the calcium in the bones and redistribute it to where it is needed.

During 10.3 years of study, the researchers documented that 918 people developed diabetes. After crunching the numbers, it was calculated that for each 10 mcg increase in menaquinone intake, the risk of developing type-2 diabetes decreased by seven percent.

Check with your doctor before you begin taking a vitamin K supplement, but if you have the chance of developing type-2 diabetes it might be worth looking into further.

What do you see first? The Chalice or the two faces? 

Notice how your perception slips from one to the other once you recognize them both?

• Is your perception all that important?
• What difference does your perception make in a situation?
• How does your perception affect your future, present or past?

Perception is how you view a situation or sensation. By definition: “Perception is the process by which organisms interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of the world.”

I believe that it is extremely important to realize that your perception of a situation is just that, YOUR perception. Two people can experience the exact same situation and have a different “perception” on what happened.

An Example…

Let’s take, for example, two people walking along the street. One may be noticing only the trash, cigarette butts and debris on sidewalk and in the gutter and decide that the area they are in is truly one of filth and ugliness. The other person, walking right next to them may be looking at the potted plants and flower boxes along the way. What this person is seeing is leading them to believe that they are in an area of beauty and brilliance. 

What’s the difference?

They are both on the same sidewalk, in the same place. What is the difference?  Only the perception they are holding. It is also important to note that they are both accurate in their perception, neither is right nor wrong. They are only seeing the same situation from different viewpoints.

The events of our lives are less important than our perception of these events. I, like all people, have been through both “positive” and “negative” experiences. I was married and then divorced, had money and then lost it, done well and then not so much…..but as I look back at these situations I know that each one them has made me the person I am today.

It is through our stresses, struggles, pleasures and pains that we grow. I would not be the person I am today if I had had a different life. As you go through tough experiences in your life, ask yourself…..

• How can I view this situation differently?
• How can I grow from this experience?
• How does my perception affect me?

In Light,
Dr. Tricia Seymour

Bruce Lipton – Biology of Perception 1 of 7

first in a two part series with rob Williams of psych-k. (if anyone has the part with R. williams please post it!) ‘the bottom line is, genes do NOT control our biology, that an assumption made years ago that was never even proven scientifically – it…

We all have experiences that we bring to any given event in our lives and each of these events creates a filter through which we view all other similar events. Whether these were positive or negative events is of little consequence because they still keep us from being fully aware of and experiencing the present in its entirety.

When these filters become crystalized within our psyche we call them unconscious beliefs and they tend to run and often times ruin our lives. They may have been developed by an adverse experience or they could simply be a statement we heard our parents, ministers, teachers, etc. repeat time and time again in our childhood. Wherever they came from, it is for certain that they only exist within our own mind and that is where we must look in order to delete or overwrite them.

So mind your mind by paying attention to the self-talk that goes on in your own head 24/7. What are you telling yourself about yourself, about others and about life?  Take the time to actually hear what is coming out of your mouth when you are talking to your friends and family. Do these conversations support or diminish you? If you don’t like what you hear, then I suggest you might want to make some changes.

Love & Light,
