Warning! Natural and Organic Food is Not Necessarily Healthy!

June 5, 2008 by

Many people have jumped on the “natural and organic” band wagon. However, you must still read the ingredients. Just because food is labeled natural and organic does not mean healthy. Furthermore, if you love the rain forest and wildlife then you better read the ingredients in organic peanut butter. Palm Oil or “cruel oil” is an ingredient found in organic peanut butter which comes from Borneo, Malaysia and Indonesia. Unfortunately, the environment of the orangutans in these areas are being decimated for the harvest and planting of palm oil plantations. Before you dig into that peanut butter, you may want to make sure you will be able to “stomach” it.

If a package is labeled 100% organic, this means the product is completely organic or made of all organic ingredients. An “organic” label means that product is at least 95% organic. If the package is labeled “made with organic ingredients,” the food contains at least 70% organic ingredients. Visit the Mayo Clinic to learn more about organic food.

What exactly is beef plasma? Yeah, that sounds healthy and tasty!

The Secret Healing Power of Pets

June 4, 2008 by

Oprah’s Soul Series can be the first step you take to begin your journey of personal transformation. Each week, Oprah will sit down with leaders in the area of spiritual thinking. Various spiritual teachers and authors share their insights about matters of the soul. Oprah shares her own insights into her own life with listeners who are encouraged to “reflect on their own spiritual journeys.

Recently, Oprah sat down with Eckhart Tolle author of “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth,” to speak about “the power of living in the moment and about discovering your life’s purpose.” Eckhart mentioned how millions of people love their pets. He said this “is the only area where people realize they can relate and communicate to another being and that being is not judging them.” Pets will love you unconditionally. Eckhart is correct, pets love you know matter your circumstance or look. It does not matter if you are tall, short, thin, or fat. Your race and religion is not a factor. Whether you are rich and famous or not so rich and famous is of no concern to your pet. The list is endless. A pet is one the greatest and truest friends a person can have.

According to Tolle “people communicate and relate to their pets and experience a sense of freedom because they are not being judged. Animals are at a state prior to thinking; they are a simple, natural presence. When a human being is there, the human has moved beyond thinking and that’s the state of awareness. Both states are free of definitions and judgments.” Isn’t this the truth!

When we are with our pets we can be ourselves. No need to “wear a mask” or “false persona” to win over your pet. You do not have to flaunt how many degrees you hold, the kind of car you drive, or that you live in a multi-million dollar home. Of course, there is no reason that you have to do any of those things when you are around people. You could choose to be yourself. But, the ego likes to make its presence known.

Alas, in the end it does not matter how many material things you possess or how many times your written work was published. All of the egos out there are in for one rude awakening! Make a decision today to experience your awakening sooner than later. To purchase Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” or “The Power of Now” visit Barnes and Noble. Purchase a copy today, start living tomorrow. While you’re at it, you may want to show your pet how much you love him or her by visiting Only Natural Pet Store. Fido may not need a new toy, but perhaps an all natural diet will benefit him!

Pay Close Attention! Trust Your Gut Instinct aka Intuition!

May 10, 2008 by

How many people get a “sinking feeling” in the pit of their stomach and ignore it? Yes, I’ve done this in the past. I’ve learned to trust and follow my gut instinct! People often have trouble saying “no,” making decisions, or not walking away from a situation. Most of this is because of fear. Learn to live without fear!

Here’s an example. At the park today there was a guy to the right of me leaning on the railing with a “super soaker” in his hands. I did not think anything of it because I thought he was a dad fixing a toy for his child. When I looked over, he was gone. Something told me to glance to my left. He moved to the other side of the area where I was sitting. My “gut” told me that it was time to walk. As I rounded the corner, I heard footsteps. I paused to look at a mama duck and her ducklings, and the guy was a few feet away from me!! Freaky! I started waking again then stopped. I glanced over and the guy was a few feet away from me. Yes, I was being followed! I put my right hand in my pocket and held onto my keys just like my father taught me to do. I was ready! I started to POWER WALK! I walked to concession area to “look” at the snack menu. Yes, the guy followed me to the concession area. As I turned around to leave the area, I got a good look at him. I ran to my car!! As I drove away, I saw the guy “looking” toward the parking lot. He did not see me. But, I saw him as he turned around and walked back into the park.

Did I feel that I was in immediate danger? No, not really. But, I was not going to stick around to find out. My “gut” told me that this guy may have been a “little slow” or mentally challenged. I’m not sure what the “politically correct” terminology is. I do apologize. The key factors of my intuition were that I allowed it to happen, remained relaxed, and listened to my “gut!”
