Therefore, it is the most important area in your home. In addition to having a profound effect on your health, the kitchen is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Given the importance of this room on our overall wellness, as well as our healthy weight, I thought I’d share a few Feng Shui facts that may motivate you to close your computer and head straight into your kitchen to clean …

The first is the "Jack theory": All work and no play makes for a cranky Jack. All this and no that -- too much of this and too little of that -- just doesn\'t work. The challenge here is to balance what we must do with what we enjoy and want to do. We need to carve out time for the serious stuff, as well as play. The other way to live a balanced life has more to do with going with the…

By Janice Taylor NABBW's Expert on Weight Loss and Hypnotism Have you ever wondered how it is that after decades of time-saving inventions and new technologies that "free time" has almost disappeared from our culture? "Lost time is never found again." -- Benjamin Franklin Are we time-poor, insolvent, bankrupt? Is "free time" a relic of the past? If this is the case, I do believe that we are in trouble. Could it be that we are headed for the "Land of Spiritual Inertia"? The great masters tell us that we need to carve out daily time …

True enough, many have wished that they were "normal" and are down, down, down on themselves for not being perfect. I\'m curious to know what you think being "normal" (whatever that is) and "perfect" (whatever that is) looks like and what you think be…

What do you think?" And the Buddha replied, "Maybe!" What did the Buddha mean? Did he mean that starting there was the \'wrong place to start?\' Should I be looking at another place, a new place to start??? Needless to say, my mind went into high gear (as our minds tend to do). And ... I came up with a near perspective; a new place to start. Here follows some new thinking on how to move from heavy to light …

A recent study conducted by the Harvard Women\'s Health Watch reports that sleep difficulties visit 75% of us at least a few nights per week. A short-lived bout of insomnia is nothing to worry about. However, the bigger concern is for those who suffer from chronic sleep loss, because they are likely to be affected in numerous areas:Sleep helps the brain commit new information into memory; therefore lack of…
