ANTI-AGING:
Natural Methods of Slowing the Cellular Clock
Why
We Age
Bottom line: the DNA in our cells accumulates damage, and then the
cells don’t function as well, and ultimately mutate, age and die.
There are other factors at work, but this is what it basically boils
down to.
What
Can We Do?
So what makes sense is that we do what we can to maintain healthy
functioning of cells. And there are a number of natural steps you
can take.
Why?
Why bother? Well, I don’t know about you, but I plan to live to
a ripe old age as an active, energetic, healthy human being until
it’s my time to check out. I can live with a few wrinkles
(and I do stress "a few"), but I intend to stay a full-out energetic
healthy player. My motto is, after all, "Live, Love & Laugh!" So
I intend to age gracefully.
What
Causes the Damage?
Oxidizing agents are the primary culprits, and free radicals are
strong oxidizing agents. A free radical is a molecule with an unpaired
electron, and they’re damaging to the body because they rip electrons
off other molecules to try and pair up their single electron. They
cannot be avoided, as they are produced by the body for essential
functions (like breathing). However, they’re also found in the environment
(tobacco smoke, pollution, certain chemicals, etc.) and in many
of the products we put in and on our bodies every day. The more
free radicals racing around your system, wreaking havoc, the more
suppressed your immune system becomes, the more toxic you get, the
more stressed you are, and the faster your cells age and die.
What
Now?
There are a number of steps you can take, the basics of which follow.
They are all guaranteed to slow down and even repair some of the
damage, rejuvenate, boost your immune system, and leave you feeling
less stressed, more energized and vital.

THE
NATURAL CELLULITE SOLUTION
6
Weeks to Vibrant Energy and a Leaner You
WHAT IS CELLULITE?
I
remember the first time I saw cellulite on my body - you could hear
my horrified shrieks into the next time zone. I was trying on clothes
at a department store, and I'm sure the salespeople thought I was
being tortured in the changing room. Dimples on the wrong cheeks!
But I've since learned to thank my body for the message it's giving
me when cellulite starts showing up, and then nip it in the bud. What's
the message, besides "I've got a lumpy rear and thighs"?
Cellulite is simply a sign of toxicity and a clogged lymphatic
system.
If you don't detoxify now, you'll create much bigger health challenges
later. Toxins are being trapped in your body, and this compromises
your overall health and energy. Removing the excess becomes essential
for you to be healthy and vitally energetic, as well as creating a
more vibrant leaner look.
A SIMPLE 8 STEP PROGRAM
You have to be committed - that cellulite didn't get there overnight.
Contrary to popular belief that you're "stuck with it",
cellulite can be minimized or completely eliminated regardless of
genetics.
And the bonus is that when you downsize your cellulite you receive
many side benefits ... more youthful skin and significantly more energy,
just to name two. If you follow this simple program you'll see dramatic
results in six weeks, guaranteed.

WHY
WATER?
-
Water
is an important stimulus in decreasing fat deposits and keeping
the excess off.
-
Studies
have shown that drinking water helps your body metabolize stored
fat.
-
Studies
also show that decreasing your water intake increases fat deposits,
while increasing water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.
HOW CAN WATER DECREASE FAT?
It's your kidneys and liver.
Your kidneys can't do their job properly without enough water.
When your kidneys don't do their job, then the liver has to help
out.
One of the liver's jobs is metabolizing stored fat into fuel for
your body.
BUT, if the liver's getting distracted helping the kidneys, it
can't do it's job properly either.
So what happens? It metabolizes less fat, and more fat stacks
up.
Your body needs water to help metabolize fat, and bodies with
more fat need more water.
Drink more water, and more fat is used as fuel.
WHAT ELSE DOES WATER DO?
Helps keep good muscle tone.
Water assists muscles maintain the ability to contract and averts
dehydration.
It can prevent sagging skin that can come with weight loss.
Plus it assists in "plumping" the skin, leaving it clear,
healthy and flexible.
Helps eliminate waste products.
You have to flush out all that metabolized fat.
When you lose fat, your body has a lot more waste to eliminate.
Water helps rid your body of all that waste.
Helps detoxify.
Toxins build up in our system, no matter how healthy we are.
Water helps flush toxins out of your system.
This helps everything in your body operate the way it's supposed
to.
Helps keep skin flawless.
Excess toxins are one of the primary causes of skin problems.
If you're keeping toxins to a minimum by drinking lots of water,
you'll soon notice an improvement in your skin.
It also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by keeping skin
cells "plumped" and healthy.
Helps ease constipation.
The colon is a primary internal source of water.
If your body's not getting enough water, it'll try to get it internally.
When it uses water from your colon, you end up with constipation.
Drinking plenty of water will most times return your bowel behaviour
to normal.
HOW MUCH WATER DO I DRINK?
On average, eight 8oz glasses of purified or bottled water per
day.
Overweight people need more water - an extra glass for every 20
pounds of excess weight.
Drink more water when you exercise.
Drink more water if you drink coffee or alcohol.
Add more water when it's hot and dry.
WHEN'S IT BEST TO DRINK WATER?
Ideally, 1 litre in the morning, in the afternoon and in the early
evening.
Make sure you also drink water before, during and after any kind
of exercise.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP DRINKING WATER?
Well, your body functions will be thrown out of whack again.
You may gain weight, retain water, get constipated, and have your
skin break out.
Uh oh! But don't despair - all you have to do is start drinking
your water again!

A
DEEPER LOOK AT COMPATABILITY
for
creating a powerful partnership
How this Began
Someone
asked me the other day, "If I want the 'right' partner next time,
what can I do differently than what I've done in the past?" I
laughed and replied, "Interview! Intensively!"
Looking
rather intrigued, she asked, "What exactly do you mean by interview?"
"Well,
first of all, it's important to know who you are. (See next article
on Dharma). Once you know who you are, it's important to know
what you want. And once you know what you want, then you need to ask
a lot of questions to see if you've actually attracted it!"
Frown.
"Like ... what sign are you, what car do you drive, that type
of thing?"
Oh
boy. "Have you considered looking at deeper levels of compatability?"
I inquired.
"Huh?"
The Quest
Well, this prompted me to start asking people if they knew about the
deeper levels of compatability. I got a lot of blank looks, a few
mutters, some interesting propositions ... but most of all, I got
a lot of curiousity and intrigue.
That's when I realized this information, at it's most basic level,
needs to become more accessible. When choosing a potential partner,
or evaluating your existing partnership for that matter, here are
crucial areas to review.
And when I say interview, I mean interview! This is not for the meek
of heart. Make a date, get their undivided attention, and bring on
your questions. Ask clearly. Be straightforward. Look in their eyes.
Probe. Trust your intuition. Follow up by phone and email. If this
isn't a match, the sooner you know the better. And when you start
a connection with someone this powerfully and openly, the sky's the
limit in terms of where it can go.
Remember, there's no right or wrong answers. This isn't
about judgment. How do the answers match in relation to you? How much
in alignment are they with your type? Is this person a realistic match
for you? Be honest ... the signals are usually there right from Day
1. And don't forget ... you should know your own answers to these
questions before you start with anyone else!

etc)
How well do they listen and actually hear?
Do I enjoy listening to this person?
Do we laugh together?
Does this person let me finish my thoughts, or interrupt my sentences?
Does this person grasp ideas quickly?
Does this person show up or hide?
Does this person believe in keeping secrets or go for full disclosure?
Do I feel free to express myself with this person?
Does this person see the big picture or are they narrow focused?
Do they lead or follow?
2. The Intellect & Core

Does this person have a history of expanding their knowledge and personal
growth?
Will they attend a personal growth seminar and/or retreat?
Does this person have/want/like children?
Is this person a vegetarian, meat-eater, or something in between?
Does this person smoke?
Does this person drink, and how much?
Does this person indulge in recreational drugs?
Does this person take responsibility for their own feelings and reactions?
Does this person take action, or do they just "talk the walk"?
3. The Energy
How do you energetically feel with this person?
Are they scattered and twitchy, or are they calm and grounded?
Does this person seem angry or peaceful?
Do they seem passionate or indifferent?
How comfortable is this person with eye contact?
What kind of work does this person do?
Are they excited about their career, or is it "just a job"?
Do they like to dance? And would they dance naked in the moonlight?
4. The Physical Body
How does it feel to hug this person's body?
Do you like this person's smell? (you gotta get reasonably close for
this one - hugs are good!)
Does this person take care of their physical body?
Do they exercise regularly?
If so, what type? (e.g. yoga, walk, ski, hike, swim, golf, bowl, etc)
Are they clean-shaven or bearded?
Do you find this person physically attractive?
Does this person have a genuine smile?
If this person was food, would you eat them? (and find them delicious!)
What size is this person? (Yes, I do mean THAT - an extra small one
and an extra large one just don't mix well together!)
5. The Soul
Is spirituality an important component to you?
Where exactly is this person on their spiritual path in relation to
yours?
Does it "feel" as well as sound compatible? (remember, trust
that intuition)
Does this person enjoy touching/being touched?
Do they enjoy massage?
What is this person's perception of the connection between the soul
and sexuality?
Does this person see sacred sexuality as a pathway to connecting with
the divine?
What does this person do to nurture their soul?
Is this person willing to be happy instead of right?
And the final question of all questions to ask, "The next time
you enter a relationship, what would the purpose of the relationship
be for you?" Listen carefully to the answer on this one - they
usually mean it!

DHARMA
& CREATING UNLIMITED WEALTH
The
Law of Dharma
by Dr. Deepak Chopra
"Everyone has a purpose in life ... a unique gift or special
talent to give others. And when we blend this unique talent with service
to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit,
which is the ultimate goal of all goals."
The seventh spiritual law of success is the
Law of Dharma. Dharma is a Sanskrit word that means "purpose
in life". The Law of Dharma says that we have taken physical
form to fulfill a purpose.
According to this law, you have a unique talent and a unique
way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than
anyone else in the whole world - and for every unique talent and unique
expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When those
needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that
is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill
needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.
If you could start children right from the beginning with this
thought, you'd see the effect it has on their lives. In fact, I did
this with my own children. Again and again, I told them there was
a reason why they were here, and they had to find out what that reason
was for themselves.
From the age of four, they heard this. I also taught them to meditate
when they were about the same age. I told them, "I never, ever
want you to worry about making a living. If you're unable to make
a living when you grow up, I'll provide for you, so don't worry about
that. I don't want you to focus on doing well in school. I don't want
you to focus on getting the best grades or going to the best colleges.
What I really want you to focus on is asking yourself how you can
serve humanity, and asking yourself what your unique talents are.
Because you have a unique talent that no one else has, and you have
a special way of expressing that talent, and no one else has it."
They ended up going to the best schools, getting the best grades,
and in college they are unique being financially self-sufficient,
because they are focused on what they are here to give. This,
then, is the Law of Dharma.
There are three components to the Law of Dharma.
The first component says that each of us is here to discover our true
Self, to find out on our own that our true Self is spiritual.
We're not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences
- it's the other way around; we're spiritual beings that have occasional
human experiences.
The second component of the Law of Dharma is to express our unique
talents. The Law of Dharma says that every human being has a unique
talent. You have a talent that is unique in its expression, so unique
that there's no one else alive on this planet that has that talent,
or that expression of that talent. This means that there's one thing
you can do, and one way of doing it, that is better than anyone else
on this entire planet. When you're doing that one thing, you lose
track of time. When you're expressing that one unique talent that
you possess - or more than one unique talent in many cases - the expression
of that talent takes you into timeless awareness.
The third component of the Law of Dharma is service to humanity
- to serve your fellow human beings and to ask yourself the questions,
"How can I help? How can i help all those that I come into contact
with?"
When you combine the ability to express your unique talent
with service to humanity, then you make full use of the Law of Dharma.
And coupled with the experience of your own spirituality, there is
no way you will not have access to unlimited abundance, because that
is the way real abundance is achieved.
This is not temporary abundance; it's permanent, because of
your unique talent, your way of expressing it, and you service and
dedication to your fellow human beings, which you discover through
asking the question, "How can I help?" instead of "What's
in it for me?"
The question, "What's in it for me?" is the internal dialogue
of the ego. Asking, "How can I help?" is the internal
dialogue of the spirit. In just shifting your internal dialogue from
"What's in it for me" to "How can I help?" you
automatically go beyond the ego into the domain of your spirit. While
meditation is the most useful way of entering the domain of the spirit,
simply shifting your internal dialogue to "How can I help?"
will also access the spirit.
If you want to make maximum use of the Law of Dharma, then you have
to make several commitments.
The first commitment is: I am going to seek my higher Self,
which is beyond my ego, through spiritual practice.
The second commitment is: I am going to discover my unique talents,
and finding my unique talents, I am going to enjoy myself, because
the process of enjoyment occurs when I go into timeless awareness.
That's when I am in a state of bliss.
The third commitment is: I am going to ask myself how I am best suited
to serve humanity. I am going to answer that question and then put
it into practice. I am going to use my unique talents to serve
the needs of my fellow human beings - I will match those needs to
my desire to help and serve others.
Sit down and make a list to these two questions: Ask
yourself, if money was no concern and you had all the time and money
in the world, what would you do? [after the vacation!] If you would
still do what you currently do, then you are in dharma, because you
have passion for what you do - you are expressing your unique talents.
Then ask yourself: How am I best suited to serve humanity? Answer
that question, and put it into practice.
Discover your spiritual Self, find your unique
talent, serve humanity with it, and you can generate all the wealth
that you want. When your creative expressions match the needs
of your fellow humans, then wealth will spontaneously flow from the
realm of spirit to the world of form.
You will begin to experience your life as a miraculous expression
of divinity - not just occasionally, but all the time. And
you will know true joy and the true meaning of success - the ecstasy
and exultation of your own spirit.

As Buddha once said ...
"This
existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds
To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a
dance
A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky
Rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain."
We
have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.
This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in
eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness and love, we will create
abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.
