How Do You Listen
To The Heart?

With silence,
like a pendulum
about to
strike a bell.
And if
you allow the pendulum
to choose you,
there will be
Music.

Listen
from a place that most people
cannot reach,
way down deep in the
Soul,
in silent Communion
with the Infinite.

The Silence of the Soul
is louder than loud,
instinctively intuitive,
and deeply Loving.

Yes,
we can
rediscover our World,
again.

If you keep searching
for meaning in Life,
suddenly,
you will search
no more.

And you discover
you
cannot find,
that which is not
missing.

Life,
need not be
a sad melody.
Think of the many things
that are so Beautiful
and make us smile.

Or,
My Dear Friend,
do not think at all.
Just Listen
to the golden silence,
and feel where the Song of Life
takes you.
Take a deep breath,
and let out the meaningless stress,
slowly.

Everything and everyone
you come to Love
can have a piece of your Heart.
This one moment
in Time,
can have a piece of your Life.
And the Song
your Life sings,
can become a transcendental experience.
It will SHINE
like the Sun,
in a jealous sky.

Your precious Life
will brightly glow
with all the Love you
GIVE.

Believe.
.
Yes,
bring your Heart to what you
Truly Believe.
Close your eyes
and visualize
the details of Life
that brought you Joy,
that made those around you
Happy.
Go there again,
every day.
Your Home
is in your Heart.
Just
BELIEVE.

People all over the World
are like you and me –
they Hope
and they wish
and they Dream.
.
Remember,
not to be sad about the past,
or worry about the future.
What we are Truly
Blessed with,
is Today.
And Tomorrow
is a new chance,
to unwrap the Gift
of a new day.

Life
can not only give you
something new,
it can draw something out of you
to give to others –
to Love,
and cherish
and renew.

You
can be transported
to an entirely different, unsuspected
and Beautiful place.
Your ability to find
new dimensions in Life
that are not familiar,
is unmatched.

This
is a Life
to get lost in.
Switch off all the lights
that expose
deep regret,
and anger,
and despair.
Float away
on clouds of Dreams.
YOU
are far more
than you have ever
imagined.

God’s Universe
is Beautifully designed
to reunite us
somehow, someway,
like a gentle breeze
that gathers Leaves
of Gold
together.
In the magical World
of the Human Heart
lies every wish
fulfilled.

“Now to Him who is able to do
immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to His Power
that is at work within us,”
– Ephesians 3:20
.
God is awesome
and He wants to Bless
you
with much more than you could ever dream of
or imagine,
because He is in Love with you
and wants to give you
His best for your precious Life.

With my most Heartfelt Prayer
for Peace in all the troubled Souls
and the sadly broken Hearts.
.
Goodnight.

‘MASSIVE OPTIMISM’

RNA technology in Covid-19 vaccines
could be used to treat other diseases like cancer,
top expert says.

Updated: 15 Nov 2020

THE mRNA technology used in potential Covid-19
vaccines
could be deployed to treat other diseases such as
CANCER,
a top Irish expert has said.

Professor of Biochemistry at the School of Immunology
at Trinity College Luke O’Neill told RTE’s
Brendan O’Connor
that “there’s grounds for lots of optimism” over the
Covid-19
vaccines being developed.

mRNA technology used in Covid vaccines could be deployed to treat cancer, an Irish expert has said — deployed to treat cancer, an Irish expert has said.

Asked by O’Connor if Ireland was “counting our chickens”
too much over a Covid vaccine, the professor responded:
“I don’t think so.“

Discussing U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer stating their
Covid-19 vaccine was 90 per cent effective,
Prof O’Neill said:
“Of course, it’s a press release
as I’ve said one thousand times.

“I need to see the data and the science.

“But they wouldn’t be releasing this
unless they knew it was really good.“

‘LOOKING VERY GOOD’

He continued: “It’s looking very good and even more importantly, in a way, there’s at least two other vaccines that are very similar to Pfizer’s one, which are being tested as we speak.”

When asked by O’Connor about the mRNA technology in the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer and their partner, the German company BioNTech, Prof O’Neill said: “You can fall off our seat as well because this could be used for other diseases as well, not just Covid, even cancer.”

He explained: “The husband and wife team –
Dr Ugur Sahin and Dr Ozlem Tureci –
they developed this vaccine for BioNTech, a German company.

“They’ve been pushing this for years
and nobody was listening.”

“It was fringe,
RNA was seen as too difficult.”

“Now they’ve got somewhere and they were going
after cancer actually.”

“Now if it works in Covid,
it could work in cancer as well,
so there’s grounds for lots of
optimism.“

According to Pfizer, RNA vaccines work by introducing
into the body an mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence
that contains the genetic instructions for the vaccinated
person’s own cells to produce the vaccine antigens
and generate an immune response.

“Love is a Fruit in season
at all times,
and within reach of every hand.”
– Mother TeresaPure Joy,
True Happiness,
is like a bright and beautiful
shining Light.
Love becomes real,
when turned towards others.
And it is within reach
of everyone,
especially you.
A part of Life
is when the person who gives you
the most Beautiful memories,
becomes a memory.

And in remembering,
we come to realize
that Love
never ends.
Moments
we thought
would last forever,
do.
.
Love
reminds us
of the Truly important things in Life,
when Living strays toward
the trivial.
Precious memories
take us Home,
to the Heart’s Essence,
where Peace and Happiness
flows.

We begin our brief Journey
of Living in every day
with all the Love
that we hold in our Heart,
and arrive with the Love
that we are.

Love is,
in the end,
for those who accept
the Truth.
Truth which comes from
God.
For God
is
Love.
He is not merely Loving –
God Loves in
the completeness and perfection
of Love.
Love comes from God.

My Dear Friends,
Miracles happen,
and Hearts change.
There is a Pathway
between Heaven and Earth.
That Pathway becomes
what we behold,
in our Hearts.

We can
come to know
what the Song of our precious Lives
really means.
When you hear it,
you will feel the comfort
only messages like that can bring.
The Kindness
and the Compassion
you bring to others
will let your Heart
soar and Sing.

There is something very special
about you.
The Song of your precious Life
takes you to a Sacred Place
where you experience
the present,
this special and singular moment
in Time.

Yes,
the Beauty all around
reminds us of the Love
we have for each other,
and the Love that God
has for us.
One moment of Love
is worth more than a Lifetime
without it.
.
Our Love
for each other
is immeasurable.
Our Love
is remembered as something
we will die for.
And more important,
as something
we Live for.

My Dear Friends,
let us remember God’s Promise –
the Promise of Eternal Life,
and the promise of meeting again
one day in Heaven.

“And this is the Promise
that He has Promised us
– Eternal Life.”
– 1 John 2:25

Death
is where sorrow and Joy combine,
where memories are crafted and preserved.
Whenever you see a Rainbow in the Sky,
whenever you look up at night
to see the Stars shining bright,
or look upon a stormy and rainy sky,
remember the Promise
that you will never
die.

Jesus said to her,
“I am the Resurrection and the Life.
He who Believes in Me will Live,
even though he dies;
and whoever Lives and Believes in Me
will never die.”
– 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Hold onto the knowing
that God’s Love
will always shine down upon the Earth,
and that you
will be in the Warm Embrace
of your Heavenly Father.

The Song of your sorrow and Joy
will be a Song of Remembrance,
and one Day,
sorrow will be no more.

Goodnight.

From the dynamic televised special,
“War Dogs of the Pacific”
comes the memorable quote from one
World War II soldier:
“My dog was my psychiatrist.
I would not have survived without him”.

Well,
I have a psychiatrist.
I have several of them.
And they all wear fur coats!
I cannot get them to take their coats off,
even in the depths of summer.
And am I glad?

Yes,

We use our cherished canine friends
for therapy for our students and for ourselves.
And the wonders they work,
we cannot even comprehend.

Our beautiful experiences with each one of them,
brings to mind what Francis of Assisi said
many years ago,
“It is important to respect and preserve
everything that is a part of God’s Kingdom”.
And a really important part of the Kingdom
wags its tail and teaches us each day
what unconditional Love is.

And I would not have survived without them.

THE ASIAN AGE

Dr. Barry Popkin

Can cancer be prevented? Yes!Most cancers- 40 % (WHO Report) can be prevented! This is a key message for a disease that is the public’s number one health fear. Research suggests that only five percent of cancers are inherited.

Many people believe that getting cancer is purely down to genes, fate or bad luck. Thankfully, that’s not true. Yes! Cancer is a major cause of premature death.

50% of cancers are YOUR OWN FAULT. You Smoke too much,drink too much, and eat badly, don´t exercise enough, you´re overweight´. There is as much evidence against poor diet, red meat and processed food but hidden agendas and politics prevents you hearing the full truth about cancer.

Risks and % of cancer deaths
Smoking and use of tobacco — 30%
Obesity, diet and Diabetes —30%
Pollutants and Carcinogens — 5%
Viruses – hepatitis, human papillomavirus, HIV — 5%
Women’s reproductive factors- late or no childbearing, late menopause, early periods etc. — 5%
Exposure to ultra violet rays — 2%

Dying from cancer is more likely among those eating – red meat – about 22% higher for men and 20% for women? We could prevent the deaths of one million men and perhaps half a million women just by eating less red meat and processed food — Dr. Barry Popkin.

Take steps to reduce your risk for cancer now! 3D approach.
1 – Diet and healthy Lifestyle
2 – Dangers from the environment and toxins
3 – Disease (from parasites to viruses to yeasts) and in addition.

Detect precancerous conditions early and remove them. Precancerous conditions are tumors and other conditions that may later become cancer. Chemoprevention- medicines to treat a precancerous condition or to prevent starting of cancer.

SCIENCE of EPIGENETICS of cancer
It’s a field called epigenetics– study of environmental and external influences that can alter gene expression. This gives the potential to alter the faulty genes. More importantly, even if a cancer is genetic, it does not necessarily mean that genes express themselves resulting in cancer.The most common forms of cancer are often unrelated to genetics. Cancers develop because something has gone wrong with one or more of the genes in a cell. A change in a gene is called a ‘fault’ or ‘mutation’. Usually a cell must have 6 or more gene faults before it becomes cancerous. Factors that cause changes around your DNA leading to cancer are stress, environmental toxins, poor diet and hormones used in Hormone replacement therapy.

Vaccine for Human papillomavirus (HPV)
About two-thirds of HPV-related cancers happen in areas other than the cervix. HPV infection is related to:
80% to 90% of anal cancers
40% of vaginal and vulvar cancers
40% to 50% of penile cancers
25% to 35% of mouth and throat cancers
Practice safe sex and avoid HIV infection. People who did all healthylife style behaviors gained an average of 14 years of life compared to people who didn’t do any of them.

Is prevention a guarantee?
‘Healthy living’ is not a cast-iron guarantee against cancer. But it stacks the odds in your favor, by reducing the risk of developing the disease. For example, we know that it’s possible for a heavy smoker to live a cancer-free life, while someone who has never smoked could develop lung cancer. But large long-term studies clearly show that people who have never smoked are far less likely to develop or die from cancer than smokers.

Major strategies to prevent cancers
Primary prevention is the most cost effective prevention program as it aims to reduce the incidence of cancer by risk factor modification. Secondary Prevention: Slowing or blocking of tumor from becoming cancer. Detection of Precancerous lesions and early removal will prevent becoming cancers overtime E.g. Adenomatous polyps and chemo prevention. Tertiary Prevention Promoting self-examination skills particularly in early detection of lumps in the breast,the oral cavity and the face for early cancers and use of the occult blood test by older persons to detect colon-rectal cancer. Cervical cytology-Pap smear screening, Mammographic screening for breast cancer, preventive endoscopies etc. are to be pursued earnestly. Early cancer detection of precancerous lesions in groups at risk.

Public education
Surveys have shown that people aren’t necessarily aware that all of these things are linked to cancer. For example, studies have found that 15 in 20 people don’t know obesity causes cancer, and 18 in 20 people aren’t aware of the link between alcohol and cancer. 40% do not know that processed red meat causes cancer. Numerous cancers are preventable, but strategies to prevent them are either not accessible or not being adopted, leaving people at risk. Life-style is now recognized as a main determinant of cancer risk. Public education is an important component of cancer control programs and has been shown to be effective. A culturally and socially relevant mass media campaign can influence knowledge and beliefs and induce people to participate in a screening activities and help prevent cancers. Education is an effective tool for modifying lifestyles and reducing cancer risks. However, an effective education program requires considerable planning to teach skills and healthy life-style habits. Since human behavior is increasingly recognized as a major determinant of health, the role of public education and the conduct of effective education programs take on greater importance in cancer prevention.

10 Simple Ways to Improve Your Health

Small changes can add up to big health benefits.

click here to read more

We’ve all had those well-intentioned moments when we resolve to make sweeping lifestyle changes: Quit smoking. Lose 20 pounds. Join a gym and start exercising every day.

While we should always strive to accomplish these types of health goals, the road to better health doesn’t always have to mean making huge leaps.

There are also many smaller steps you can take that will help improve your overall health and quality of life — and because they’re things you can easily incorporate into your routine, they’ll be easy to maintain for the long haul. Even if you have only a few minutes to spare, you can use that time to improve your well-being.

Try incorporating the following activities and strategies into your day. When these simple steps become habits, they can add up to a big positive effect on your overall health.

1. Enjoy de-stressing.

Experts recommend regular exercise, meditation and breathing techniques to reduce stress. But even something as simple — and enjoyable — as listening to soothing music, reading a good book, soaking in a hot tub or playing with your pet can help you relax.

That’s advice you should take to heart because prolonged stress can cause or exacerbate a number of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, depression, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and obesity.

Don’t have a lot of time? Don’t let that stress you out. As with exercise, even brief periods of relaxation are beneficial.

Spending even 10 minutes at a time doing something you enjoy can go a long way toward beating the stressors of everyday life. Just reading one chapter or taking your dog for a few laps around the block will help you feel calmer, more refreshed and more energized.

If you can’t take a full break from whatever you’re doing, try simply taking a few slow, deep breaths in that moment. When you slow down your breathing, it helps you relax. This relaxation response releases body chemicals that relieve stress and may improve immune function.

Deep breathing can also lower your resting heart rate. People with lower resting heart rates are typically in better physical condition than those with higher rates.

2. Put away the salt.

A saltshaker on the dining table makes it all too easy to consume excess salt, which can lead to high blood pressure. So put the shaker in a cabinet or pantry and bring it out only when you’re cooking.

It’s also a good idea to taste your food before you salt it. You may find it doesn’t need more.

You can also try spicing up your food with lemon or lime juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, herbs or a salt-free seasoning blend. Stock your fridge and pantry with your favorite fresh and dried herbs so you’ll always have them on hand to flavor your foods.

3. Get to bed earlier.

Most of us don’t get the seven or more hours of sleep adults need.

Over time, a shortage of shut-eye can raise your risk of a heart attack or stroke — regardless of your age, weight or exercise habits.

If you’re consistently sleep-deprived, going to bed even 15 minutes earlier every night could help. Also set a regular sleep and wake schedule, and stick to it — even on days off.

4. Check your posture and ergonomics.

Next time you’re at your desk or on the phone, take a moment to think about your posture. Then straighten up your back, tuck in your stomach and put your feet flat on the floor with your legs uncrossed. You’ll feel more relaxed right away.

The few seconds this takes can help you avoid back pain, one of the most common health problems in the United States and a leading cause of disability.

And if you work at a computer, look at the ergonomics of your workstation — how you fit and move in your environment — to help prevent back and neck strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, eye strain and other occupational injuries.

A few simple adjustments, such as repositioning your computer monitor, switching to a chair that provides more low back support and taking regular breaks throughout the day to do stretching exercises, can go a long way toward creating a healthier and more comfortable workspace.

The next time you’re going to a higher floor, bypass the elevator and climb the stairs instead. You’ll get your blood pumping, exercise your lungs and work the muscles in your lower body.
.

5. Do a crossword puzzle.

Researchers at Rush have found that mentally challenging activities, such as reading, doing crossword puzzles or Sodoku and playing chess, may have a protective effect on your brain.

According to research studies, regularly engaging your mind may help lower your risk for the dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Don’t enjoy puzzles or games? Don’t worry: There are other ways to maintain your brain health. Eat with your nondominant hand. Walk a new route home from work. And connect with others — staying socially engaged may also protect against dementia.

6. Weigh in.

Maintaining a healthy weight can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer. But for women, there’s another reason to keep pounds from piling on: It will decrease the risk for future pelvic floor disorders, says Cheryl Wolfe, MD, an OB-GYN at Rush University Medical Center.

Pelvic floor disorders are more common in women who have delivered babies vaginally. However, a recent study found that even women who have never had a vaginal birth are at increased risk for urinary stress incontinence if they’re overweight or obese.

7. Make a few dietary substitutions.

Swap white bread, rice, crackers and pasta for healthier whole grain versions.
Use skinless chicken and turkey in your recipes instead of skin-on, and leaner cuts of other meats such as beef or pork.
Replace one sugary drink (soda, juice, etc.) each day with a tall glass of water.
If you get hungry between meals, snack on a handful of almonds or cashews, a piece of whole fruit, or carrot sticks dipped in hummus rather than reaching for candy bars or potato chips.

In addition, try incorporating an extra serving of non-starchy vegetables into your daily diet.

Want a snack? Munch on a carrot instead of a cookie. Making dinner for your family? Serve broccoli or spinach as a side dish instead of mashed potatoes. Add green peas to your brown rice, or slices of red or yellow pepper to your sandwich.

It’s no secret that vegetables — especially dark, leafy greens — are good for you. But there’s another benefit to packing more veggies into your daily diet: They’re rich in fiber and contain lots of water, so they’ll leave you full and satisfied without a lot of calories and fat.

There are plenty of great recipes in cookbooks and online — including on Rush’s content hub — for tasty yet healthful veggie dishes.

8. Take the stairs.

The next time you’re going to a higher floor, bypass the elevator and climb the stairs instead. You’ll get your blood pumping, exercise your lungs and work the muscles in your lower body.

It’s a great way to add physical activity to your day without having to block out time to exercise. If you are aiming for the recommended 10,000 steps each day, taking the stairs counts toward that total.

All of these small steps can add up to a healthier you.

9. Stretch it out.

Regularly stretching your muscles helps you avoid injuries, stay limber and move freely as you age.

Take a few minutes to stretch out before and after you exercise. If you aren’t working out that day, take a few stretch breaks. Find a quiet space in the office where you won’t be disturbed. On the go? Look for natural opportunities in your daily routine to stretch, such as getting out of your car or reaching for items on a high shelf at the store.

Stretching right before bed can also help you relieve tension and help you get to sleep.

And balance exercises — like Tai Chi — can help dramatically reduce your risk of dangerous falls.

Looking ahead

The good news is that it’s never too early — or too late — to adopt healthy habits.

When you’re young, you can build the foundation for a lifetime of good health. When you’re older, healthy habits can help you control any diseases you have and lower your risk of getting others in the future.

Charlie Chaplin
lived for 88 years.
And,
he left us with these Philosophical Observations:

1. Nothing is forever in this World,
not even our problems.

2. I Love walking in the rain
because no one can see my tears.

3. The most lost day in Life
is
the day we don’t laugh.

4. The six best Doctors in the World are
1. The sun
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self-respect
6. Friends.

Stick to them
at all stages of your Life
and enjoy a healthy Life.
If you see the Moon,
you will see the Beauty of God.
If you see the Sun,
you will see the Power of God.
If you see a mirror,
you will see God’s best Creation.

A Soothing Balm for Troubled Emotions

The Tools of Change were given to me at a time of emotional turmoil due to changes occurring in my own life and in the lives of people I knew. I will never forget the day I received the gift of this second Tool of Change. It was a year before my Dad passed. He had become seriously ill a couple of months prior and I knew that we could lose him at anytime. It really hit me one day, sitting at my desk at home. Cherished memories from childhood came flooding in – things we had done together that meant so much to me. I must have sat there for a couple of hours sobbing over the loss that I knew was coming. I finally told myself that he hadn’t been able to do those things for years (foolishly hoping that I could talk myself out of it!). But logic did nothing to sooth my broken heart. The floodgates were open.

I finally did what people tend to do when they feel utterly helpless. I audibly cried out to God for help, asking for SOMETHING that would ease my pain. The answer came with no delay. “Put your memories into Gratitude.” Hmmmm…..OK. I had helped many clients put their painful, hurtful memories into gratitude, assuring them that it would help them to truly forgive and reap the wisdom from those experiences. But it hadn’t occurred to me to do this for the gnawing ache of grief inside.

A memory surfaced of fishing with Dad. The spigot of tears reopened. I placed this memory into gratitude, and asked gratitude to envelope me. The surge of joy that filled my body was a complete surprise. My tears stopped and I could breathe again. Another memory surfaced, of racing to the house with him from the detached garage when he came home from work, wondering if I would ever be as fast as my Dad. More tears. I put that one into gratitude, and joy returned. Again and again that day, one after another, memories came to mind to be placed into gratitude. I wondered if it would ever end. Yet as the morning became afternoon, the minutes between them turned into hours. I knew it was working. By the end of the day and into the next I was emotionally and mentally lifted, sitting in joy and gratitude for all those wonderful times with my Dad.

Gratitude is the love essence of the Second Tool of Big-Hearted Change. It brings us out of the past and back into the present moment. This is true whether the past was glorious or gloomy. Memories and experiences can be painful. People have asked me, “How can I be grateful for something that brought me so much pain?” This is an excellent question. The answer lies in the heart, not the mind. We don’t have to “try” to be grateful, or convince ourselves of the value of anything. Gratitude is like Grace. It is an aspect of Divine Love that can be called upon to assist and fill us. It is a healing balm for regret, guilt, grief, anger, resentment, and nostalgia.

Gratitude is like forgiveness, in that it serves to release our emotional attachment to what has been. Yet it does even more than that. Gratitude also integrates the past into the whole of our life’s journey. My experience has been that, when I am willing to trust in Love, and ask for its help, not only does healing and movement occur, but I am also given understanding and a higher perspective that brings my mind along for the ride. That’s how these Tools of Big-Hearted Change work. They originate in the heart, and then understanding and solutions present themselves.

While the first Tool of Change – Grace – brings us back to the present from our fearful projections of the future, this second Tool of Change brings us back from the past. We have emotional attachments to so many things – people, places, things, memories, ideas, and ways of doing things. I want to emphasize the importance of feeling the whole range of our emotions. They are road signs. When they have done their job, gratitude helps us to release them. Letting go of the past is an important aspect of moving forward. True change can’t happen without it. We live and release. Live and release. This is living in the joy of the present moment. A hot air balloon must release its tethers before it can fly. Gratitude helps us to do the same.

I wish you all
Peace.
