The History Of Reiki
The teachings of Reiki Ryoho (Spiritual Healing) began with Mikao Usui becoming enlightened on the holy mountain of Kurama in the spring of 1922. Usui-Sensei was a spiritual man, constantly working to understand the meaning of one's life and how to achieve contentment.

Alternative Health Care
With natural health products you can improve your health, immune system, digestion and strengthen your body.

That's not to say you should shun your physician, but running to the doctor for trivial symptoms like a running nose may be expensive when a trip to the health store...
Paul Odyssey Update
The controlled media is up to its usual tricks. They discovered long ago that the best way to manipulate the news is to blatantly distort and lie about the subject - or simply ignore it completely. Such is the case with GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex). According to the media, no such person actually exists - despite the fact that in every legitimate online poll taken after each "debate" he is, without question, the clear-cut winner. In the last debate of 10 candidates on June 5 in Manchester NH, Rep. Paul was questioned eight times and allowed to speak for exactly six and a half minutes out of the two hour commercial-free debate. Amazingly, in that microscopic bit of time, he won the...
Healing the Universe is an Inside Job
"Healing the universe is an Inside Job" is a quote that was printed at the bottom of an email send to me by my good friend Tajuana. When I first read it, I thought "Wow" what a great line - I'll have to use it somewhere. After thinking about it for a few minutes I now see that the line is in complete error. The universe is perfect the way it is. It is the matrix from which all forms of life interact with each other to experience the physical life. It is a playground or buffet of experiences from which we choose. As a blank piece of paper would be the background from which we draw our lines, the universe as it is, simply represents the thoughts of its inhabitants. To say that a piece of paper needs...

Health Insurance Representative
The health care agent will be someone with whom a person shares a lot of important information and with whom they are basically trusting their health and their life to. It is natural, then, that a person chooses someone they feel like they can communicate with openly and whom they can trust. They should also make sure that their health care agent shares the same ideas as they do. For example, if a person is into alternative medicine then they should chose a agent who feels the same. It is very useful that a person feels relaxed enough with their agent to be able to tell them all their problems and to be open and honest with them, including being able to object to something should the need arise...

How your Brain Can Form Mental Maps to Learn
The brain has the ability to recall many things in detail. For instance, if you are sitting at your desk right now and if you close your eyes, you'll find that you'd be able to find your calculator or pen. Sometimes, unconsciously, you can even find yourself reaching out for such items when you need them unconsciously, while you are consciously thinking of solving a problem or making an important decision. People who become blind as adults will find themselves impeded by their inability to use their vision to sense their environment. They cope by relying on their memory of how things are placed. Their mental maps then become suddenly very important to them. Blind people have to re-create the...

Identity Theft Recovery: The Road Back
Not too long ago, a friend of mine mentioned that one of his coworkers recently recovered his stolen identity. I asked how long the process took. "Only two years" he replied. Compared to my business partner's six year nightmare "only" maybe appropriate but like most victims of identity theft, he probably thought "when". As in, "when will I get my life back?" Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a consumer nonprofit organization, reported that victims spend on average 175 hours trying to recover their identity, often over a period of years. Factor in out of pocket expenses, (usually over $1,500 according to the FTC) and recovery gets painfully magnified. What are the steps to identity restoration? It starts...
