It has been defined as having four aspects: healing practice, personal development, spiritual discipline and mystic order.  It also includes the Nine Elements; Oral tradition, Spiritual Lineage, History, Initiation, Symbols, Treatment, Form of teaching, Monetary exchange, Precepts (awaken the questions inside the student in the process of becoming aware of whole, body and spirit)

(You need the oils more than the seed!)]]>Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:41:57 GMThttps://www.reallyloveyourlife.com/holistic-healing/flaxseed-dont-buy-it-pre-ground-you-need-the-oils-more-than-the-seedMy mother is the one who told me to try flaxseed when I was getting kind of moody and low energy.  It turns out that flaxseed, if you grind it yourself, can turn around an emotional rollercoaster and balance out those PMS hormones like nobody's business!  I had a friend of mine tell me, " Oh I tried flaxseed, it didn't do much for me."  I asked, "Did you grind it yourself?"  
She said, " No, I bought it preground."

Let me explain something to you.... the abundance of omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed are mostly in the oil of the seed.  Which are then released when you grind it (you need to grind it by the way) but will evaporate after being exposed to air for more than a couple days.  So buy yourself an $8 grinder and grind 2 tbsp of it every morning. Put it in your V8 juice, your oatmeal, your yogurt or even your cereal.  It's got a nice light nutty taste and YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE.  When I really need some help, for example right now when the seasons are changing, I take 2 tbsp in the morning and 2 more around 3 pm (in a snack like yogurt).  Man, I'm making myself hungry... ]]><![CDATA[Cucumbers- Who Knew!]]>Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:34:22 GMThttps://www.reallyloveyourlife.com/holistic-healing/cucumbers-who-knewReceived this from my mom. Fascinating! I haven't tried them all so feel free to comment how well any of these work for you!

This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems. 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog & provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent Undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the Collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential Nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath. 12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won't leave streaks and won't harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

The Mayonnaise  Jar 

When  things in your life seem almost too much to handle, 
When 24  hours in a day is not enough;
remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of  coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy  class
and  had some items in front of him. 

When the class began, wordlessly, 
he  picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and start to fill it with  golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was. 

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and  poured
it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. 
He then asked the students again 
if the jar was full. They agreed it was. 

The professor next picked up a box of sand 
and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else 
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
With an unanimous  'yes.' 

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the  table
and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed. 

'Now,' said the  professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. 

The golf balls are the important things - God,  family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions  
Things  that if everything else was lost 
and  only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. 

The sand is everything else -- 
The small stuff. 

'If you put the sand into the jar  first,' he continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf  balls.
The same goes for life. 

If you spend all your time and energy  on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that  are
important to you. 

So... 

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. 
Take time to get medical checkups. 
Take your partner out to dinner. 

There will always be time 
to clean the house and fix the dripping tap.

'Take care of the golf balls first -- 
The things that really  matter. 
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand 
and inquired what the coffee represented. 

The  professor smiled. 

'I'm glad you asked'. 

It just goes to show you that  no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Please share this with other "Golf Balls"   

I  just did......
