Meditation for Beginners!!

EVERYONE needs to spend time in some form of meditation--and there are as many forms as there are people!! The health benefits to ALL your energy centers and layers is enormous! As a matter of fact, it is the BIGGEST single step you can take towards achieving Intentional Health!

But most people shy away because they think it's too hard, or because they had no success with the methods they were shown. If this is you, Mental Chocolate is THE way for you to finally take control of your inner chatter!!

For more information on this method and the schedule of teleclasses, check out the Mental Chocolate Group. Be ready to relax and have fun--before you know it, you'll be on your way!!

I normally only feature one video on the front page, but this lecture by Caroline Myss, PhD, is so completely relevant to Holistic Health that it deserves a special spot!

This is called "The Energetics of Healing", in which Caroline describes in detail the dynamics of energy flow in our bodies, and how it affects all aspects of our health. Enjoy!!

Instead of a Video, this week, I am copying for you, here, excerpts from an article contained in this week's newsletter from Adrian Cooper's "Our Ultimate Reality" site.

As I work more with healing others, as well as myself, it becomes increasingly clear to me that we can not under-emphasize the importance of being aware of ourselves as a total energy system. Everything that shows up in the body begins in one of the layers of our energy bodies--mental, emotional or spiritual. Western Medicine has only focused, until now, on trying to treat the body as separate from the rest of us. This is why there are so many areas where it has been largely ineffective, or why treatments work for some people, and not for others. The first step in becoming your own best source of healing is to develop an awareness of your own energy systems. The Chakras are the best place to start!

The Importance of the Chakras

Our ability to attract, assimilate and direct Energy effectively is absolutely fundamental to our well-Being on numerous levels, not
the least of which is health.

The more we can absorb, store and direct Energy efficiently, the more control we will enjoy over our own health, abundance and happiness, and, as we discussed at length last week, the more "alive" and vibrant we will feel.

Baron Eugene Fersen refers to Energy as "Universal Life Energy", to which he dedicates much of his book and exercises to this crucially important subject - and rightly so.

However, although these books teach how to harness and direct Energy, they do not discuss another absolutely fundamental aspect
of this - storing Energy.

The more Energy we can store, the more we can utilise plane and simple. And in turn the more Energy we have at our disposal, the more powerful we become, and in turn the more control we have over our own individual experiential reality at all levels.

Whereas a lack of stored Energy results in lethargy, lack of motivation, lack of health, lack of success and lack of success in attracting others, including partners, conversely the ability to
store Energy will bring the opposite of these situations with the profound benefits this will bring.
