In the Northern Hemisphere we lose the strength of the sun during the ‘dark months’. As humans we rely on the Sun’s energies to survive, in more ways than we realize.

When the sun becomes weaker, and the nights longer, a few things happen. We tend to spend a lot less time outdoors, when we do we are mostly covered up to protect us from the cold and the Sun’s energy isn’t as strong.

This inhibits our bodies ability to naturally produce key vitamins and chemicals for us to function. Most common among these is the vitamin B12, which influences our moods and energy levels.

Our modern, hectic, Western lifestyle doesn’t take this into account and we continue to try to function as though the environment around us hasn’t changed. To compensate we ingest unhealthy amounts of sugar and stimulants like caffeine and nicotine, to give us a ‘boost’.

Rather than drinking more coffee, most would be better served to take a vitamin B12 supplement, preferably one that also contains Vit. D.

We’re so quick to run to the pharmacy for stimulants and anti what ever drugs, we have lost touch with the natural order of things. So much could be solved with just remembering that we are part of the world we live in. We are subject to the ebb and flow of energies and seasons just as every other creature is.

I’m not encouraging or suggesting self medication here! Lol Check with your doctor before starting any new regime of vitamins or supplements to be sure there won’t be any counter affects to prescribed medications.

I am pointing out what naturalists and nature has always understood. We are part of the world and it is part of us. When we lack something we need our body lets us know. Our physical bodies are amazing machines. The perfection and intuitiveness of our bodies is a miraculous thing. We need to listen to what we are being told.

Rather than hiding the ’symptoms’ or messages of our bodies, we need to pay attention and provide it with what it needs.

This time of year is crazy for most and emotions are running high.

Take time to rest and reflect, and also to provide the body with what it needs to function.

Good food, good water, EXERCISE, and the nutrients it needs to serve us on this journey.

Doesn’t it make sense we would treat our bodies at least as good as our cars?

Namaste!

I like this word better than the terms:  Prcrastination, or well, lazy.  lol  *blush*

I’ve been lazy, or suffering froma really bad case of Inertia, whichever you prefer.  I truly love to write, and I LOVE to help others, but lately I’ve been ’stuck’ for lack of a better way of wording it.

Lazy will work as well.

I could give you a thousand ‘reasons’ (i.e. excuses) but I won’t waste your time. 

I have found an amazing resource that I want to share with you though!  Its called the Boundless Living Challenge and its being put on by Bob Doyle.  It’s also FREE!!  *doing a happy dance!*

Check out the site at:  http://www.boundlessliving.com/

One of the best parts of this is that they are using a social network to help people support each other while doing the challenge.

IF you join…and I really hope you all do!….add me as a your friend on the network and we can help each other banish the ‘INERTIA’ in our lives! 

I am Kim Cadotte on the network, see you there!

We all know the feeling of walking through life as if we are
carrying the huge burden of our worries and stresses on our backs
and shoulders, struggling to keep moving forward. There is no real
way to move freely and fluidly in such a situation, and we are all
longing to lay our burdens down. Just imagining that it would be
possible to do such a thing can be enough to elicit a sigh of relief
and a feeling of lightness.

The human imagination is a powerful tool, and we can use it to take
journeys to faraway places without ever leaving our home. Because of
this, we too can lay our burdens down at the feet of a divine being
such as the great Mother, Buddha or a mountain. Releasing ourselves
from that which we can’t handle on our own. No matter how smart we
are, how capable we are, or how hard we work, no one can single-
handedly cope with all the worries that we tend to take on in the
course of our lives. And, we aren’t designed to do so. Our wellbeing
depends upon our ability to hand over that which we can no longer
carry by ourselves.

Visualizing yourself carrying your burdens to the feet of someone or
something much bigger than you can be a powerful daily practice. To
begin, sit with your eyes closed and envision an all powerful,
supremely comforting being in what ever form that takes for you,
standing at the end of a road. See yourself carrying a large sack,
box, or other container, imagining that all your worries are inside
it. Watch as you make your way to the being of your choice, and lay
your baggage down at their feet. Allow yourself to feel the
lightness and relief of this action, express your gratitude, and
surrender. You will be amazed by how this simple meditation can
liberate you from a burden you were never meant to carry.

I was led to this today, and I really needed it.

Thought I’d share. *hugz*

The Soul Mantra

Drives people nuts more often than not, how things just work for some people when they have to struggle every moment.

Want to know a secret?

None of us have to suffer!

The ones that seem so ‘lucky’, luck has nothing to do with it. They just know how to listen.

Not to the noise ‘outside’, but to that little voice inside. To that sensation in their gut that tells them which direction is right for them.

It sounds so simple when you write it down, but in our society we are conditioned to NOT listen to that feeling. We’re taught to analyze and pick apart every little thing. To listen and go with the majority and follow the flow of things.

Stop and think about it though, if you look at the ‘lucky’ ones, they don’t do that. They just seem to leap in random directions and land in roses. lol

It’s not random, and you have to keep in mind that roses usually grow best in manure. *wink*

When we follow our instincts, that inner voice or gut feeling, we are listening to our higher self/angels/guides/guardians.

Now think about this, which is best to listen to, your cousin who is no better off than you, or the part of you that connects to the Great Spirit/God/Goddess.

(I know it’s a pain that I use so many titles, but it’s the only way I know to include as many beliefs as I can. )

I’m actually TRYING to challenge you in this!

Try it, for one month, follow your instincts. Don’t analyze, don’t second guess. Go with your feelings.

It ALWAYS works for me, drives some of my family absolutely nuts. (I’m the ‘lucky’ one. *sigh*) I’m not lucky; I just know how to listen. *shrug* Only time things go icky for me is when I don’t listen to that feeling. When I second guess myself and my instincts.

Grandfather laughs at me when I do this, he tells me I’m not a salmon, and asks me why I insist on swimming upstream.

Try it, I dare you!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity to keep.

For if some peace I do not find,
I’m pretty sure I’ll lose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet,
Far from the daily family riot.

May I lie back and not have to think
About what they’re stuffing down the sink,

Or who they’re with, or where they’re at
And what they’re doing to the cat.

I pray for time all to myself
(did something just fall off a shelf?)

To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no, another goldfish dead!)

Some silent moments for goodness sake
(Did I just hear a window break?)

And that I need not cook or clean
(well heck, I’ve got the right to dream)

Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep,

But as I look around I know,
I must have lost them long ago!

Please read this, do your due diligence/research and ACT before we all lose out big time.

Canadian Rights And Freedoms Are At Risk
An Important Notice Regarding Bill C-51

A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 70 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children. The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes sweeping changes to Canada’s Food and Drugs Act that could have devastating consequences on the health products industry.

Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key terminology, including replacing the word “drug” with “therapeutic product” throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins, supplements and other items. With this single language change, anything that is “therapeutic” automatically falls under the Food and Drug Act. This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion greens and essentially all plant-derived substances.

The Act also changes the definition of the word “sell” to include anyone who gives such therapeutic products to someone else. So a mother giving an herb to her child, under the proposed new language, could be arrested for engaging in the sale of unregulated, unapproved “therapeutic substances.” Learn about more of these freedom-squashing changes to the law at the Stop51.com website: http://www.stopc51.com

• Will this new law be used to abuse and punish special interest
  groups, minorities, religious groups or others?
• Why do bureaucrats want to bypass the Parliament and Senate’s
  approval to create new laws?
• Why do bureaucrats want seizure warrants without judge approval
  ?
• With fines being increased a 1000 times, and seizing
  authority without a warrant, is Bill C-51 meant to bankrupt and silence
  its target
  audience?

N.B.*** This bill had it’s first reading by the House on April 8th/08
and it’s second reading on April 28th/08, so it is being pushed through very
quickly.***

It’s a fact that Tony Clement is a very rich and powerful prohibitionist pharmaceutical mogul.

He owns one-quarter equity position of Prudential Chem Inc., a Toronto
manufacturer of pharmaceutical chemicals.

QC: Editorial: Clement should know better
(The Montreal Gazette, Published:
Monday, June 12, 2006)
http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/editorial/story.html?id=26c86ac7-da26-4537-9a67-bc1d151f9ee7

Since Clement is federal health minister, it takes as little as 6 months for new drugs
to be approved by Health Canada - when it used to take an average of 5 years of
clinical research until new medications were approved in Canada.

Tony Clement surely knew that he wouldn’t be federal health minister for 5 years, so
it surely looks like he is abusing of his pharmaceutical interests and powers,
and that he’s going to make it the most profitable for him.

Forward this to all of your concerned friends, family and community
leaders.
