November 2007, Issue 59 ~ Count Every Blessing

Last weekend, I attended Dr. Northrup's "Menopause and Beyond" presentation in NYC with my friend Alison. Dr. Northrup was terrific; inspiring! While there was far too much said to cover here, some of the points she made were:
"Getting strong in your core, changes your brain...
"Learning new things...moving your body [exercise] keeps your brain young..."
"If you want things to be different, you have to think and act different..."

What new things will you set out to learn this season? What shifts in life do you seek to make? We invite you to see which article or self-healing course below calls out to you at this moment and time!

Meta-Physician On Call Why Do We Feel Sick All the Time: Metaphysical 'Cures' For What Ails Us By Steven E. Hodes, M.D. Many of us suffer from the "I feel sick syndrome." We are not truly "ill," in the sense that we do not have a significant malfunction of an organ or organ system that can be readily diagnosed by traditional contemporary medical testing. But we certainly experience bouts of discomfort, pain or distress — in other words, we just don't feel right — we just feel sick! And we often feel it physically - in particular parts of our bodies, such as head, back and joints, chest and abdomen. We experience... Read on. Read on.

"I personally enjoyed this particular course the breathing techniques helped me relax and focus on peace. This course has truly helped me in so many ways.

Terrific Manifestation Tool! A Message from June Cook...

I think a bunch of you are going to love this one! It's easy, affordable, and AMAZING. It's called the Dream Wizard. In about 3 minutes, I purchased, downloaded and typed in a goal, added a photo to represent that goal and recorded my OWN voice claiming my dream. Now it pops up on my computer screen every 2 hours to remind me of what I am manifesting. No kidding! It makes me so happy every time it pops up! Check it out here.

This Month's Holistic Prayer

Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)



   


The enlivening Spirit of God is
freely expressive in and through me.
It illumines my mind,
regenerates my body,
inspires me with creative ideas,
empowers my constructive actions,
and easily and harmoniously arranges
all of my circumstances.

Every aspect of my life is now in divine order.
~ Roy Eugene Davis, author and spiritual leader

Gratefully Yours,

Your Friends at Self-Healing Expressions
