I was dry. I was not able to enjoy normal marital pleasures. My fourth child had just recently been born. So, at first I thought my body simply needed more time and would return to its natural hormonal balance on its own. However, several months later, I was still having the same problem.
I went through a checklist to see if I could figure out some reason for my predicament.

Do you Believe in Magic? THE POWER OF SUGGESTION: How guided imagery helped this author decrease outbreaks of herpes simplex or fever blisters.
Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers: it comes from being open to all the questions (Earl Gray Stevens)
We will never really understand the full potential of our minds. The way we think and how fully mindful we are have a huge effect on how we react to things. The first time guided imagery was suggested to me was during active heavy labor with my first child 12 years ago. The nurse pointed to a sign that said “breast-feeding” and told me to focus on it, not my pain. I opted for an epidural. (more…)

MEDITATION
Meditation is a source for getting to our core being and possibly realizing answers to questions like, “Why am I sick?”, “What’s underneath it?”, “Do I really want to be healed?”, and “Am I ready to take responsibility for my own healing process?”. It can be a powerful tool for allowing the body to be healed through recognizing the emotional upsets that lead to dis-ease and imbalance in our bodies. If our daily lives are bombarded by activity, and we continually keep ourselves busy, in an attempt to hide our true pain (because that’s the reality of most peoples obsession with success and over work) then we can never get honest with ourselves. If we a continually separate ourselves from the rest of the universe, we will not develop our instinct and use our Goddess/God given gift to channel universal energy for answers and clarity. (more…)

Our self-membranes should not be too tightly sealed, because we require constant inflow from the ground to renew and sustain our vitality. The infinitely abundant ground is our life force”. -John E. Nelson
Our mental and physical states are intimately linked. Illness and imbalances experienced in our culture today are epidemic. These imbalances develop through a combination of a frailty between the body- mind connection as well as a culmination of negative collective and personal imprints on the psyche and spirit, throughout this life time and lifetimes past. Carolyn Myss in “Anatomy of the spirit” has profound things to say about the effects our thoughts have on our physical well-being. Some of this can be attributed to the disassociation we’ve acquired to our ecosystem, which we all have a bond to, and the cycles that are inherent in nature. (more…)

Although lupus is primarily a women’s disease, men get this chronic autoimmune disease as well. In this article I talk about what lupus does to men mentally and physically.
Approximately 10% of the lupus population is male. Lupus is known as a “female disease” as a result, there is a misconception that men with lupus are less masculine than other men. There needn’t be-just like females, males with lupus look perfectly normal. They have normal male characteristics and have normal sex drive, performance and fertility. Homosexuality is not any higher in men with lupus than without. While their numbers are fewer, lupus tends to hit men harder physically and emotionally. (more…)

A self achieved altered state of consciousness is brought about by the daily use of an natural self-care tool that has been used for thousands of years and is primarily used to manipulate the purpose of brain energy
Affirming Aging Ageless
What makes man different form other living things? Other than thriving on the power to transform the sun’s energy to meet his survival needs, he wants a richer life. Men want to be younger, sexier, stronger and smarter. They strive for happiness, to live fuller and more rewarding lives. Beyond instinct, man wants ultimately to understand his place in the universe, and the simple key to unlock these answers lies within how he can manipulate and redirect the ever-evolving energy potential for life enrichment and longevity.
