Cleaning Up the BUTs

September 28, 2007

Years ago, after reading books on Gestalt Therapy by psychiatrist, Fritz Perls, I learned that one of the most powerful things I could do was make a very simple change in my language. Specifically, change the word “but” to “and.” For example, take the sentence, “I want to be understanding, BUT I don’t feel like it.” Now, simply change it to, “I want to be understanding, AND I don’t feel like it. Say both sentences and notice the difference in how you feel. Using the conjunction “but” makes both phrases or thoughts incompatible, “erasing” the first one. Changing to the word “and” is inclusive, allowing both to co-exist. Be conscious of using the word “but.” And now, Grant Connolly, creator of the ZPoint Process has an excellent article for you about Cleaning up the BUTs.

ADD/ADHD and Generation(s) RX

About 18 months ago, I wrote an article, Just Say No to Drugs? The gist of the article was that there is a contradiction in our culture regarding drugs. In the eighties, we had the slogan, “Just Say No to Drugs.” Today, I’d amend it to, “Just say no to drugs … unless they’re prescribed or on television.” On one hand, we are vehemently against illegal drugs, while at the same time we may have several over the counter and prescription drugs around the house. How many drugs do you have in your medicine cabinet? More importantly, how many meds do your children have?

Oxygen Eyes

August 23, 2007

Did you know that your eyes are oxygen processors and need a lot of oxygen to stay healthy and comfortable? As you age, particularly between 35 and 50, you need more energy to focus your eyes for reading. And, contrary to making people more productive, computers may do just the opposite. Computer vision stress causes people to see less, do less and be generally less efficient. Instead of reading with a light reflecting off a fixed page, with a computer the light is constantly flashing to a beat frequency of 60 Hz. Also, right now, there is a constant muscle spasm as your eyes search for the fonts on your computer screen. In your health regimen, don’t overlook your eyes. The key to improved vision is relearning relaxed vision habits. Do everything you can to keep your eyes flexible and strong. Let me tell you about one of the most fascinating EFT videos.

Tap on Your Keyboard

August 17, 2007

If you’re new to EFT and the idea of using your hands to tap on energy meridian points on your face and body seems strange, do this first. Tap on your keyboard. And … use your favorite search engine to do some research. At your commands, the Internet puts a plethora of valuable information in your hands if you actively seek it. For example, what do you know about “Su Jok” or “mudras?” They’re both ways to do self-healing with your hands. Here’s are some basics.

The Bored Ultimatum

August 6, 2007

I saw the film, The Borne Ultimatum, yesterday. It was pure entertainment. Director Paul Greengrass put together a movie that was suspenseful, action-packed and clever, keeping the audience engaged for 111 minutes with excellent acting, hand-held camera shots and tight-editing. Visually, it zipped along with action sequences peppered with quick-cut screen images and dramatic music. Your senses were bombarded so you certainly couldn’t be bored stiff, bored silly or bored to tears. And that’s the topic of this post. Do we need to continually be stimulated to keep from being bored? Can we be comfortable with stillness? Either we find ways to release boredom, using methods like EFT, or we succumb to requiring ever increasing ways to keep ourselves stimulated, losing touch with what’s happening in the moment, the now.
