The
Triumph Of Tolle:Eckhart Tolle's Australian Tour!
Of
all the authors privileged enough to earn an Oprah Winfrey
Book Club crown, only a limited number actually
manage to hit the high note with the talk show queen's
audiences and critics alike. Fewer still manage to dramatically
transform the lives of millions around the globe and
become regarded as both a magnificent author, and spiritual
master. But for Eckhart Tolle, these heights
have been reached. The German-born author has become
a household name since the release of The Power of Now
and A New Earth -regarded as two of the most influential
and empowering books of our time - and Oprah herself
describes his work as 'essential reading'.
Perhaps the real triumph of Tolle lies not in his
commercial success nor his fame but in his ability to,
with the power of words, show readers the potential
that lies within their own lives. .
It seems that, with this message, Tolle has helped millions
of readers to find their own happily ever after.
.
Eckhart Tolle's Australian and New Zealand tour begins
in March 2009 and will include seminars in Auckland,
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and a special weekend
retreat at the Sunshine Coast.

Is
Pain Good? : By Deborah Joy Calleja Fom The Medical
Sanctuary!
One of the functions of pain is to protect you and alert
you to danger in the hope of preventing further damage.
It is the actual unpleasantness of the pain experience
that makes it so essential in our daily existence.
No one really wants to experience pain. If you have
it, you often go to great lengths to get rid of it.
It is the actual unpleasantness of the pain experience
that makes it so essential in our daily existence. One
of the functions of pain is to protect you and alert
you to danger in the hope of preventing further damage,
eg: touching a hot plate creates a reflex muscle contraction
to remove your hand from the hot plate. When you have
back pain, your body will move differently often to
protect the painful part, this can aide in the healing
process.
Sensors
There are varying sources of pain, but the most common
one occurs when the bodys' alarm system alerts your
brain to the actual or potential tissue damage. Sensors
are the proteins inside your neurons. These report messages
as they are constantly surveying their particular region.
They send messages to your spinal cord which then may
be sent to the brain.
The Brain
The brain sorts out and interprets all the messages
your body receives. Many parts of the brain are used
in this process and in the response to the experience
of pain. Some of the parts of the brain involved are
those that are responsible for sensation, movement,
emotions and memory. So you can see why pain can be
such an overwhelming experience to deal with.
The brain can then respond to the pain experience by
sending "happy" chemicals/hormones such as opiates,
back down the spinal path to dampen the pain stimuli.
Other messages that the brain will commonly send back
are ones that release chemicals to help the damaged
tissue heal, eg: encourage blood supply to the area.
Blood supply is important in healing and different tissues
have varying degrees of blood supply, for instance,
discs and ligaments take longer to heal than the blood
rich muscle and skin tissues. Muscle spasm can be important
in your tissue healing process, this is why you may
limp or lean to one side when you have back pain. It
is your brains interpretation of the messages coming
in which regulates the quality and quantity of muscle
activity. Generally, if the system is working well,
the increase in muscle activity subsides when the underlying
pain impulse is settling.
Managing pain
Be educated. Knowledge of why you have your pain can
provide you with a foundation to support the healing
process. Your practitioner will help you to understand
what movement /activities that you can do which will
help your recovery. Understanding your pain will reduce
the threat of increasing the pain due to fear of the
unknown (which can stimulate more protective systems
and block healing).
We all know that the symptoms of pain can be restrictive
and uncomfortable, but by seeing these responses to
pain,(spasm, inflammation and immobility) as the body's'
powerful, intrinsic wisdom to heal itself, pain can
in fact, be your ally. So by listening and working with
it and through it, you will be well on the road to beginning
smart, therapeutic activities which will gradually return
you to your regular life and wellbeing!

Embracing Opportunites from Survival to Thrival:
By Jenni Madison.
Opportunity
is always present. The universe provides us with signs,
direction guidance and intuitive sparks of inspiration
and possibility daily. We all know this to be true.
It is perhaps the greatest gift of life, regardless
of economic status or external circumstances.
And so why is it that some of us can embrace these natural
gifts and receive the abundance, well being and natural
flow, whilst others remain hidden behind the veils of
fear - unsure of what step to take next, feeling stuck
or blocked and often running on empty.
Survival
I had realised for sometime my stuckness. Struggling
to manifest a joyful, prosperous event out of the many
opportunities being presented. I knew it was me who
was in my own way, no one and no thing else, just me.
This made it even harder to confront. At least if I
could blame something or someone like the economy, the
unhelpful people around me, or my own helplessness I
could perhaps stay hidden and afraid. However none of
this is true, the negative media does not need to affect
my internal world and belief systems, people around
me were offering abundant support and care, and my helplessness
was a powerless state that kept me stuck and irresponsible
of myself and my own life creation.
The longer it took for me to confront the further down
the spiral I would go. Until, the inevitable happens.
Survival is so threatened and fear is so consuming that
I have to get out of my own way - there is no more choice,
I have had enough. It is a death and a rebirth - I surrender
and let go….
Even though I dont own a TV I always hear about whats
going on. A conversation with a friend, a business meeting,
or a coffee shop paper is enough to spread the world
talk. In a vulnerable state even the slightest inkling
of global fear or crisis can be threatening and influential
- so be careful, or....... become the master of your
own world and create your external world from what you
know to be true from deep within.
The first three steps to Thrival, 1. Recognise that
it is you being caught up in the survival game, your
consciousness and reactivity. You have the power to
be, do and have anything you want, simply take response
- ability for your souls highest destiny and embrace
your own Personal Power.
2. Let go of the past both success and failure. Take
only the lessons from both and be present and accepting
of what is now, the past is a memory in your mind only,
it exists as you choose it to so respond to the gifts
and growth it has given to you and surrender the rest,
reactivity will hold you back and cause inner conflict.
3. Believe in yourself. You are exactly where you are
meant to be. Today and in this moment. Who you truly
are is far greater than what you have and what you do
- come to know and experience your truest being first
and then allow the authenticity of your True Self to
express in what you do and what you have.
Thrival
A meaningful, successful life is one that is giving.
Our greatest desire as human beings is to contribute,
grow and make a difference. It is innate in every one
of us as it is an imprint and value of our own soul,
it is the purpose of life.
For every idea, decision and opportunity that presents
itself to you - to know the answer, or whether it is
an opportunity not to be missed, worthwhile of your
energy, time and focus ask your self the following three
questions;
If I choose to take action in this direction;
1. Will I contribute to and support the vision and desires
of myself and or others?
2. Will I be making a positive difference to the lives,
business and well being of others?
3. Will I learn, grow and develop myself by being a
part of this?
If you answer yes to the three above questions, whilst
remaining clear and unattached to outcomes, you will
have the energy and drive to tap into your unlimited
resourcefulness and make things happen. Things will
go well for you and you will thrive. We are all meant
to thrive, it is our natural state.

Mood
Food - Eat Your Way To Happiness: by Linda Brown from
Vive Organic Food and Health Clinic!
If
you could boost your mood, concentration, energy or
relaxation simply with what you ate, would you? Well,
you can. Mounting evidence suggests that merely what
you eat can greatly impact your mental functioning,
by providing the nutritional precursors (ingredients)
that convert to crucial brain chemicals, or neurotransmitters.
Rev up with a protein breakfast
If
you want to start your day with some get up and go,
alertness and concentration, then protein is by far
your most important breakfast nutrient. Protein foods
such as eggs, meat, fish, fowl, whey protein and legumes
contain tyrosine. Tyrosine converts to adrenaline, noradrenaline
and dopamine, which elevates mood and mental alertness.
Tyrosine is also a constituent of thyroid hormone, which
is imperative for energy, motivation, metabolism and
good mood. .
Get eggs - get the Smarts
B
complex vitamins are imperative for effective mental
function, and are found in nuts, seeds, green leafy
vegetables, whole grains, eggs, meat, seafood, and dairy
protein. Eggs are a particularly good source of the
B vitamin choline, which, with B1 and B5, produces the
memory enhancer acetylcholine (Ach). Ach deficiency
causes memory and concentration deficit, and maintaining
adequate levels keeps the brain sharp. .
Chill out with Good Carbs
While
protein is required in every meal for a good supply
of all necessary brain chemicals, carbohydrates are
required for the release of your relaxation juice, serotonin.
Carbohydrates cause an insulin release, which causes
the amino acid tryptophan (from protein) to cross into
the brain. Once in the brain, tryptophan converts to
serotonin. Serotonin makes you feel happy, calm, and
if you have too much, a little sleepy. It also relieves
pain. To get the best effect, base your meals on protein,
and limit your carbohydrates through the day when you
need to feel alert. Have a small portion of low glycemic
starch early evening, such as basmati rice, durum wheat
pasta or sweet potato. .
Good Mood Food
Finally, tuck into green leafy veges for your best dose
of folate, which can prevent depression by maintaining
serotonin levels. Fish and fish oil also have powerful
antidepressant properties, and are required for optimal
cognitive functioning. If, on the other hand you feel
consistently crabby, research shows that selenium deficiency
may have a part to play. So, grab a handful of brazil
nuts and sunflower seeds…ahh! .

Laughter
is the best medicine!
The
newlywed wife said to her husband when he returned from
work, "I have great news for you. Pretty soon, we're
going to be three in this house instead of two." Her
husband ran to her with a smile on his face and delight
in his eyes. He was glowing of happiness and kissing
his wife when she said, "I'm glad that you feel this
way since tomorrow morning, my mother moves in with
us."
Quote
of the week!
There are eight requisites for contented
living:
Health enough to make work a pleasure,
Wealth
enough to support your needs,
Strength
to battle with difficulties and overcome them,
Grace enough to confess your sins and foresake them,
Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished,
Charity
enough to see some good in your neighbour,
Faith enough to make real the things of God,
Hope
enough to remove all anxious fear regarding the future."
Johann von Goethe
