Christianity’s Intolerable Past

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

By Hera Tihk In 324 AD. The Roman Emperor Constantine held a council, which we know as The Nicene Council. The Council’s purpose was to compile the religious works of the day into a large compilationof religious texts, which we now call The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible was originally, at its inception, much different than the current version that most Christians of the world use today. The original material held other Gospels that were not included in the Bible at the Nicene Council, some of these Gospels include; Gospel of Peter, Gospel of Thomas, and Gospel of Philip. Of those Gospels, The Gospel of Thomas, was left out, because although it had many of the same things init attributed to Jesus, it differed on some basic structures, so the things where similar to that whichwas written in the four accepted Gospels. It seems from the cantons left out of the Bible, the commontheme was they often offered a slightly or sometime largely different ideals versus that of what the four accepted Gospels. Its interesting to note that the only known full copy of The Gospel of Thomas was found at the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt. After the Council of Nicene decided on which religious texts they would use and which ones they would not, Emperor Constantine then set up the Catholic Church in order to make the new Religion the official religion of the Empire. Thus the Church and The Emperor, armed with theBible, proceeded in converting the Empire to Christianity. The majority of the Roman Empire refused to follow, some of the Roman subjects included the Jewish people, and one could understand whythe Jewish would refuse this religion. Many others in the Roman Empire refuse, as most of the empire (excluding the Jews) were poly-theists, that is they believed in many Gods not one. In fact they believed that Ceasar himself was a decedent of the gods. Up until the Emperor Constantine, the Romans flat out rejected Christianity, and even persecuted the early Christians, for they believed so strongly in their current religions of poly-theism, that the Emperor Constantine actually had to enforce it with deadly force, killing many thousands of Romans who refused. Poly-theism had worked out well (in the past) for the Romans, for it allowed their subjects to retain much of their religious ideals after they were conquered by the Romans, thus allowing the Romans to assimilate their new subjects into their Empire. This worked for the most part, but the Jewish people actually revolted on the Romans, because the Romans were trying to incorporate the Jewish religion into the Roman poly-theism, but the Jews refused, which ultimately lead to the Romans burning down the Great Jewish Temple, in a effort to destroy the Jewish peoples faith. So it would seem that from the time well before Jesus, until the 4th century, the Romans believed in many gods, and the things that changed that were; The compilation of religious texts into the Bible, the creation of the Roman Catholic Church, or the official act of making Christianity the Religion of the Romans, and Emperor Constantine’s use of force to persuade the Roman Empire to convert to Christianity. What the Emperor was asking of his subjects was the same as asking a Christian to convert to Greek Mythology, which one could imagine just would not be acceptable to the Christian. This path that the Emperor set The Church down, continued, and eventually the Roman Catholic Church was the ruler of the land. We call this period of time, “The Dark Ages” for a reason, mostly because the Roman Catholic Church continued on the path Constantine laid for them, which took force to change peoples ideals. If your ideals differed from the Church, the Church would convert you, or you died. The Crusades and the Inquisitions are a prime example of what the Church was willing to do to enforce or to convert you to their ideals. Now imagine that one Institution had the rule over the majority of the world. What would that Institution be able to do? It is commonly known that in past conflicts through out history, the history as recorded by the victors of the contest are not always as the events actually happen. Now imagine that this institution ruled for over One Thousand years? What do you think the institution could do with history, if it could actually control what was recorded as history for over 1000 years? It would be easy to imagine that one institution could make up what ever history it wanted, and make people believe it. The Roman Catholic Church is such an institution, and has used its influence, to mold history, in some of the most horrible ways man has ever seen. Once one is aware, that Christianity is built upon a foundation, not the foundation of love and compassion that the Bible teaches, but one of torture and intolerance, then one has to call into question why torture and intolerance was needed for the Church to exert its control. I contend that reason is simply cause the idea was flawed, and people of the time knew it, from the everyday layman, to the scribes who compiled the Bible in the first place, to the Emperor and Priests of the Church. They all knew it was flawed, and this made the Roman Catholic Church use force to convert people. This practice of forcibly pushing the Church’s ideas on people continued from the inception of the religion and reached its height of practice during the Inquisitions. I understand the problem this raises for most Christians. It sounds real bad, even like I am tearing your religion apart, but I am not. I am merely trying to point out, that the Roman Catholic Church, and the Bible, are only narrow, and terribly skewed interpretations of a vast amount of religious texts, some taken nearly in whole, and some changed in order to fit into an idea, the idea of Jesus. This idea is the personification of the Ideas from all of the religious texts that were considered for, or included in, the Bible. The fact that the Holy Bible consists of not just one all encompassing book, but of two different books each of which in themselves are a compilation of religious ideals and morals, The Old Testament and the New Testament. The idea that the Christian religionborrowed from other earlier religions is supported in the fact that the Jewish Torah is included as the Christians Old Testament. I would imagine the inclusion of the Jewish Torah was an attempt at adding history to the Christian movement, thus giving an illusion of validity. Its not the whole part of the Religious equation, its only a narrow part of the whole idea, changed by some, to try to fit it in with what was the popular religious ideals of the time. The understanding of what the history of Christianity is, at least from the point of the compilation of the Bible in 324 AD. to the present, should give you the idea that there is something flawed with an idea that takes so much violence to convince people its God’s will. You should also realize now the origins of the Bible, and that there was many other religious text not included in the Bible that tells similar stories, but some ideas are different, some subtle, some not so subtle. I urge you to go and look at the books that were not included in the Bible, as well as religions other than Judaism or Christianity, find their similarities and their differences, because only then can you start to understand where you and your religion came from. Only then can you have the knowledge to make a decision for yourself, and not because someone told you to believe and not because it is what everyone else believes, but because its what you choose. Its the knowledgeof where the religions of the world come from, and why we choose to believe what we do, which will help Mankind have more tolerance for other peoples religious ideals. Only then will the insane practice of killing in the name of God end.

The Ebb and Flow of Network Marketing

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

By Bruce Bailey And so I say to you: Ask, and you will receive; SEEK, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and he who SEEKS will find, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks. - Luke 11: 9-10. [Good News Bible] No matter how long youve been in this business, you will have experienced what I call the Ebb and Flow of Network Marketing. Its simply the highs and lows you experience from dealing with people. We have all experienced it, even the top earners in the business. See if this has happened to you. Youve just made a great presentation to a prospect and, in spite of your being able to neutralize every objection they have put forward, they still dont sign up. You feel rejected, frustrated, and disappointed. You begin to wonder why you ever got into this business and what youre doing wrong. You go into a bit of a funk, and start to feel sorry for yourself. After a bit of a lull, you decide to try another presentation to another prospect. This time, theyre ready to sign up almost before you open your mouth. Youre on Cloud 9, you can move mountains, you are master of your domain! What has happened? Youve just experienced the Ebb and Flow of Network Marketing. Every MLM distributor goes through it. This emotional ebb and flow is often what stops many network marketers from achieving the financial freedom and security they desire. They let their emotions control how much work they put into the business, and a few nos cause their efforts to diminish. Consequently, their business grinds to a halt. Successful networkers, however, adopt a posture of emotional equilibrium, not getting too high with each success or too low with each failure. In his CD series, Key to the Vault (which I highly recommend to any network marketer), Bob Schmidt tells the story of John Wooden, the legendary coach of the UCLA basketball program, who won 10 national championships in a 12-year span. Wooden wanted his players to achieve a level of emotional maturity, or equilibrium, regarding their performance on the court. He wanted his players to behave in such a way that, after a game, a locker room observer would not be able to tell whether the team had won or lost. Wooden stressed to his players that if they had simply gone out and done their best, the outcome was not the issue. Therefore, being high on victory or low on defeat never entered into the equation. Thats what he meant by emotional equilibrium. Remember the acronym S.E.E.K. Seek Emotional Equilibrium Knowingly Learn to control your emotions; dont let them control you. If a prospects failure to sign up with you causes you to go into an emotional tailspin, you have lost control of the situation. Because your business depends on you, you are letting your prospect control your business. This is equally true for a prospect that does sign up. If you get too high on that success, and base you next actions on what the prospect has done, you have again let them take control of your business. Dont let your mood, your emotional state, control your efforts. S.E.E.K., and you will find the path to achieving the success you desire.

Stop Searching - Joint Ventures are the Solution to Doubling Your Business

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

By Wendy McClelland First, define the end user (or ideal client) of your product. Many times when I ask people who their ideal client is they will tell me oh everyone can use my product!. Actually the only two things that EVERYONE uses are air and water, SO narrow your focus really key into WHO your customers are. What are their age, gender, hobbies, interests, etc. By refining your focus you can better serve your customer and become THE supplier of choice in your market. Once you have identified your key customer you can find out what other companies are trying to appeal to that market as well, and then see if you can do a joint venture or cross promotion with them. This means you both contribute something to the deal, and you both generate some revenue for your business. This will allow you exposure to a whole new batch of customers, without having to spend anymore money! (EXAMPLES OF JOINT VENTURES) Are you appealing to people’s health with your product or service? Why not approach a health related support group or health food store, and offer to give an educational seminar - this does not mean a sales pitch. Explain how people with the specific condition these people have can take better care of themselves, and how possibly your product may help them. Explain the benefits of your product well but don’t push the product, or you will very quickly turn people off. This way you educate people and they’ll naturally want more information. A good way to let people see that you are interested in their health and not just selling them something is to start a newsletter that you can send out via email or regular mail. It should contain good health information, maybe some recipes, tips for fitting exercise into daily life, new research into aging, and a little bit about the product you sell. By offering information and education you become a trusted advisor, not just a salesperson. People are more likely to buy from someone they trust. Do you make something that could tag along well with another product. As an example if you make little girls hair bows - why not see if a hair salon will let you package them with the children’s shampoo or brushes they sell? Do you have a great new dog food or cookie - why not check out local pet stores and offer to give away a free sample with each puppy toy that’s sold? Or team up with local dog trainers and see if you can sell your doggy treats in bulk to them. Make sure the packaging has contact information on it, so dog owners can get in touch with you once their first package is finished and they want to buy more. (SALES TIP: MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS PUT CONTACT INFORMATION ON YOUR PACKAGING SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU) If youre a make-up artist, why not put on a make-up demonstration in a bridal salon on a Saturday morning when brides looking for wedding dresses, and girls looking for prom dresses are getting fitted. Have a draw for a free makeover, and use the names from the draw as a mailing list. This is an ideal way to target your key client! I’ve used JV’s in other ways too: 1. I will often team up with another speaker to put on a workshop. Why? - by having two workshop leaders and different topics more potential attendees will be interested - both workshop leaders get in front of a whole new group of clients (the clients of the other workshop leader) - I get to find out how other people present their information and I learn as much as attendees! 2. When I wanted to get more exposure for my services I approached a local radio station and suggested a daily radio feature. They thought it was a great idea and so every weekday morning I had a feature called “Family Business”. It ran for 18 months and though I didn’t get paid for my show the benefits for BOTH the radio station and I were great! What were they? I got a chance to be heard by thousands of people EVERY day - something that would have been impossible any other way!I gained instant credibility by having a radio program.I learned how to write scripts, produce and host a radio show! Great experience that I didn’t have to go to school to get. I’ve now used some of those scripts in my “51 Tips to Grow Your Business” e-book and plan to use the broadcast tapes for audio products! The radio station got a great feature without paying for it, and they were able to advertise my show and gain new listeners!These are just a few JOINT VENTURE IDEAS - by being creative you can come up with thousands of ideas! Think about teaming up with another business owner to: - put on a seminar - exchange ads in each others newsletters - offer special deals to each other’s clients and numerous other ideas. I’m currently using joint ventures to create seminars and exchange ads for my workshops in another newsletter (and in exchange I put the other trainer’s ad in my newsletter). I often work with my clients to help them find successful ways to create Joint Ventures for their business. It’s a fun and creative way to get your business moving quickly! Joint Ventures are also something I include in every Marketing Plan that I create. They are a sure fire way to grow a business! These are just a few unique ideas that you can custom tailor to suit your business. Get excited about your business, take a look around and see what other unique ideas you can come up with, and most of all HAVE FUN!

How Payday Loans Measure Up To Other Financial Tools.

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mike_Freudenberg]Mike Freudenberg Payday loans can be a very beneficial financial tool when compared to… your bank. That’s right! Your bank’s NSF policies work against you and can cause you to actually spend more money in fees than a traditional payday loan charges in finance charges. “How can this be?”, you might ask. Well the best way to explain this is by example. Consider the following example. To keep it simple, we will use nice round numbers. Consider you have $100 in your checking account but you wrote four $100 checks to four different merchants. Your bank charges a $30 fee for each NSF. The merchants charge an additional $25 for each bounced check. In this scenario, if all the checks are presented to the bank, one check will be paid and three checks will bounce NSF. You will incur bank charges of $90 ($30 X 3) plus the merchants will charge you $75 ($25 X 3) for a total of $165 in NSF fees on $300 of bounced checks. This number can easily compound if any of the merchants re-submit the checks to your bank. The $165 in fees could easily double or triple to an incredible $495 in NSF fees! If you think this is excessive, then read on. There is another option. Now, if you had applied for a $300 payday loan to cover the three $100 checks you wrote, your finance charge would typically have been $45. Even if you have to roll over the cash advance another pay period, you still would be in a better financial situation then if you solely relied on the bank. So when you are in a financial emergency, choosing a payday loan can definitely be the right choice.

Make Every Day A Mother’s Day!

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

By Angela Renee The word mother and mothers day are simple, yet powerful little words that you hear all the time especially so around the time of mothers day when everyone seem to be scrambling for ideas to say thank you, you are surely loved and you are appreciated all over again. But if you would just take time out, you would realize that useful hints were probably being dropped all alone and throughout the year. In fact, with that special day being only a few weeks away, some of your thoughts at this time can range anywhere from what are you going to do for your mother, spouse or other loved one to should it be a product gift or something more personal. If it is the product route, how can it be made more personalized? If it is the gift of time, how can it be made more personal? Mothers Day for some will be welcomed with feelings of excitement while for others it may be a day of mixed feelings especially so if the mother you will honor has lost a child to tragedy. So that is why whenever you wish to honor someone in your own little way, you should consider where that person may be in their life and then the event. Many people say that it’s the thought that counts and yes that’s a very good point but so is too know a person and mother’s day is no exception. To give you some examples, consider a single mother who’s been struggling to raise her children and doing it all alone in every sense of the word, what would make her day on mother’s day? What about a seventy-two year old mother who has raised her children but suddenly took on the new responsibilities of raising her grand children, what would she possibly want or deserve? Sure a bouquet of flowers or some other last minute gift would be nice and probably get you off the hook but what would that mother really want to do for that special day? Would she want to spend her day filled with family and special friends or have a day of being responsibility free? If you were in that person’s shoes, which would you hope that someone would honor you with for mother’s day? You see mothers day or any other day can be made more personal when you put some careful thought into your gift idea. What else would that mother enjoy? What has she wanted to do for a long time? What has she not gotten to experience in her lifetime? How can you really show her she is appreciated? Even a gift that is accompanied with a carefully written letter or note with meaning can put a smile on a mother’s face! Yes, I know this will not work for all moms but that’s why in the article it says that YOU need to really know that person. So please just remember it really is the thought that counts especially when you did take some time out to put some thought into your mother’s day gift. Oh, one last thing, I invite you to help every day become a Mother’s Day. By the way moms, it is ok to drop hints about how you would like to spend your special day and with hope, your spouse, partner, or other loved one will graciously honor your small request. After all, mother’s day on the calendar only comes once a year.

How To Meet A Woman When She’s With Her Friends

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

By Joseph Matthews ***AN EMAIL FROM A GUY LOOKING FOR HELP*** Hey, I like your e mails a lot but there is one unusual problem with me. I like a girl in my chemistry class but the problem with her is that she only comes and goes in the class and always has her best friend (she’s a girl) with her. They Both are always GLUED together so it makes very difficult for me to approach her and talk to her. I tried a lot of times to approach her, after some time they Bothstart talking and I just sit staring at them. There is only one month left for this semester to end and afterthat I will loose her if I dont do anything but what can Ido???????? I have asked many people and tried many things but nothing seems to work. I just dont know what to do?????? –A Frustrated Student ***MY RESPONSE*** Take heart, Frustrated Student, class is in session! I, and many other men, have been in similar situations many, manytimes. Let me make one thing clear right now that you must understandbefore you go out trying to meet women: WOMEN OF BEAUTY ARE NEVER ALONE!!!!! You heard me right. Pretty girls have a very high social status. They are almost always surrounded by people, be they girlfriends,boyfriends, male “nice guy” friends, brothers, sisters, parents -whatever! They will always be in groups of people. It is very rare to see beautiful women alone. And when they arealone, they’re usually waiting for someone! The common term I refer to people who like to hang around withbeautiful women is: OBSTACLES. If you imagine you’re on a race track, and at the end of the track is this girl you want to meet, all the rocks, hurdles, holes, and booby traps between you and her are OBSTACLES that can ruin your chances of meeting her. But there is a way to navigate that minefield and avoid all theseobstacles! That way is called: GROUP THEORY. Group theory is a system by which you actually address the girl’sfriends instead of trying to ignore them. Through group theory,you win over the girls peer group and turn them into YOUR supportgroup. Here’s how it works… The girl you want to meet is always with her friend, right? Andyou’re worried that you can’t approach the girl you like becausethe friend will interfere in some way. So what you do is forget about the girl you like, and approach her friend first! That’s right… YOU FORGET ABOUT THE GIRL YOU LIKE AND APPROACH HER FRIEND FIRST! Now, this doesn’t mean you’re going to try and pick-up the obstacle instead of the girl you really like. It just means you’re going to overcome that obstacle before you reach for your prize! Remember: You must disarm a land mine before you step on it! You do this by acting disinterested in the girl you’re really interested in, and focus on winning over the girl you don’t really care for! Then, once you’ve won over the obstacle, you ask if you can”borrow” her friend for a minute because you’ve been neglectingher. Once her friend gives you approval to talk to her alone,guess what? You’ve just gotten her STAMP of approval! This means that the girl you like has no reason NOT to talk to you! Then, you pull her off to the side, and work your magic one-on-one. Wishing you success with women, Joseph Matthews Joseph Matthews is webmaster of http://www.ArtOfApproaching.com and has just released his comprehensive guide on how to overcome fear of rejection and meet and date tons of beautiful women.

Weights Before Cardio: Stop Working Against Yourself

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

By Tony Hale Just because youre working hard, doesnt mean that youre working smart. I see it every day. People come into the gym and hop on a treadmill for 30-60 minutes and then head over to the weights to do their resistance training. Even though my initial reaction is to walk up and smack them in the back of the head, the reality in the matter is How would they know any better? Which is why I thought this article was so appropriate. After all, for years Ive heard people say that if you do your cardio first, youll burn more fat during your weight training. Making your weight training an extension of your cardio. Lets look at why this isnt true and see if we can save some people a little wasted effort. Well start out by looking at how your body uses the food you consume for fuel. You may have heard that you will burn more fat if you do your cardio on an empty stomach. The truth is that you will actually burn more fat during cardio if you have depleted your body of carbohydrates. You can eat proteins and dietary fats without affecting the way your body burns fat. In other words, you could eat some egg whites, chicken breast, or even a protein shake without any carbs in it, and still burn the same amount of fat during your cardio session as you would if you did it on an empty stomach. But if you ate an apple or a piece of bread before your cardio, you wouldnt. When you eat carbohydrates, your body stores them as glycogen in your liver and waits for your body to use them as fuel. When performing an aerobic activity, like walking or running on a treadmill, your body has the option of using glycogen stores or fat stores. The problem is that your body wont use any fat stores until your glycogen stores are used up. On the other hand, during anaerobic exercise, like weight lifting, your body can only use glycogen as fuel. So heres how it plays out. Studies have shown that it can take as much as 29 minutes of cardio to burn your glycogen stores. So if you start your workout off with 30 minutes of cardio, not only did you burn fat for a whopping one minute, but you also depleted your body of the fuel it needs (glycogen) to do your resistance training. Now, in order to manufacture glucose (glycogen) during your weight training session, your body may actually break down muscle tissue to use certain amino acids as your fuel. You could end up losing muscle instead of gaining. To make things simple, if you do your weight training first, you can use your glycogen stores as fuel. Then, when you move over to your cardio, youre right where you want to be with depleted glycogen stores, giving your body the opportunity to burn fat as a fuel source.

Why Should You Consider Colon Cleansing?

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

By Leroy Fong The colon, or the large bowel, is the waste ground of the body. With every meal we eat more and more stagnant food material sticks to the walls of the intestines and begins the long process of decomposition. As this waste material continues to rot it releases harmful toxins into the bloodstream that have the same general effects as the toxins we ingest. Every layer of hardened food matter that attaches to the intestine wall reduces the ability of the colon to function a little bit more, meaning that over time the intestines stop doing their job and this is when illnesses and diseases start to take over. The primary objective of a natural colon cleanse is to break down and remove the hardened material that is stagnating in the intestines, colon and rectum. This has a two-fold effect: It allows the intestines to function properly again so that conditions such as constipation and diarrhoea are a thing of the past. It dramatically reduces the amount of self-produced toxins so that the detoxifying organs of the body only have to deal with ingested toxins. Most natural colon cleanse programmes consist of a colon cleanse diet and a number of colon cleansing supplements. You can begin by slowly converting your diet from one of processed and fast foods to one consisting mainly of fruit and vegetables i.e. a detox diet. Many people also find it beneficial to embark on a 2 or 3 day fast as well. A standard colon cleanse will involve: Fasting either water or juice based. A strict detox diet high in fibre. A probiotic supplement to replace the friendly bacteria lost during the initial fasting period. Flax seeds and bentonite clay these two ingredients both swell up when they absorb water and act as laxatives. They also bind toxins so they are eliminated from the body. Herbs that help to stimulate the liver and gallbladder; the bodys main detoxifying organs. A salt enema to wash away any remaining waste matter. All detox programmes should begin with a colon cleanse because at the end of the day it is pointless cleaning the liver, blood and lymphatic system if the colon is still producing toxins. A natural colon cleanse can be uncomfortable for a few days however the benefits far outweigh the costs. You will very quickly feel clean from the inside and far more energised which both are feeling that everybody longs to feel.

Adirondack Chairs - How to Choose One

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

By Jennifer Akre In Blue Mountain Lake, New York, you will find a unique museum called the Adirondack Museum. According to the experts that run this museum, the Adirondack chair was originally called the Westport chair, named after a small town located nearby Adirondack Mountains. The design of the chair was first created back in 1900 by Thomas Lee. On a mission of designing a chair that could be used indoors or outdoors and one that was overly comfortable, he began his work, using standard boards and nails. After creating his prototype, he asked family and friends to see what they thought and while the Adirondack chair does not look like the most comfortable choice of chairs, they were surprised that it was actually quite comfy. Today, the Adirondack chair remains a popular choice often associated with beachfront houses, big sprawling lawns, or screened patios. However, the Adirondack chair makes a wonderful addition to any home or yard. The style of slated boards and the big wide armrest are what made Adirondack chairs well known and that style remains popular today. The armrest is especially nice in that it is wide and angled so you can easily set down a cup of coffee or glass of lemonade while relaxing in the shade. The patent for the Adirondack chair was provided in 1904 and over the following 20 years, the manufacturer made several variations of this one style. The nice thing about choosing an Adirondack chair is that again, they are extremely comfortable and for the quality and efficiency, very affordable. Most Adirondack chairs are natural wood or painted white but more and more, new colors are coming available. You can also choose from the basic Adirondack chair or go with an Adirondack lounge chair that reclines easily or even a double Adirondack chair, perfect for cuddling with someone special. If you love spending time outdoors or indoors, you will need to make sure you have a good, comfortable chair, which is exactly what you will get from an Adirondack chair. This particular chair is often handcrafted, providing a one-of-a-kind country look. The Adirondack chair adds a real touch of class. The curved back design and seat are made to wrap around the body, something you just do not get with any other type chair. The standard Adirondack chair measures 32 1/4-inches wide and 38 1/4-inches deep, and 35-inches high. Although the price of a standard Adirondack chair will vary from one maker to another, typically a price tag of $250 would be considered reasonable. Best of all, the Adirondack chair will last years and years if taken care of properly.

By Helen Thomas DIET AND EATING HABITS This interplay among the fundamental forces and components explains why people can have much in common but also have an endless variety of individual differences in the way they behave and respond to their environment. Ayurveda recognizes that different foods, tastes, colors, and sounds affect the doshas in different ways. For example very hot and pungent spices aggravate pitta; but cold, light foods such as salads calm it down. This ability to affect the doshas is the underlying basis for Ayurvedic practices and therapies. Eating Ayurvedically is healthful because it provides a diet of balanced amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat and is rich in nutrient-dense fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. But in Ayurveda food is more than fuel to keep you going, more than a bunch of chemicals that supply essential vitamins and minerals. Wholesome food is a total experience that can nourish you emotionally as well as physically.The following Ayurvedic recommendations are designed to help make food nourishing in every way. They are based on ancient observations and insights. Perhaps most profound is the concept that all foods and beverages are imprinted with a vital memory. It remembers its whole life and, through its DNA, it also harbors remembrances of its ancestors’ lives. Food passes this rich store of knowledge to you when you eat it, providing a form of energy that connects it and you to other people and to the earth. Food that is organically grown, raised on small local farms, and lovingly prepared carries more positive, nourishing energy (prana) than food that is degraded and adulterated, raised with artificial chemicals, and impersonally grown on factory farms. If your natural urge to have such positive emotional connections remains unfulfilled, you may try to get satisfaction by overeating or acquiring an excess of material things. http://www.drhelenthomas.com Hi I am a practicing Chiropractor for the last 25 years. Ayurveda came into my life in 1984. I have study with the best in the nation and the best in India. It is a practice that takes a lifetime to become a master. I love teaching it and practicing it. The results in everyday practice are phenomenal. It takes seven years to get a degree in Ayurveda in India. It is a serious healthcare science that as a doctor of Chiropractic I was prepared to take it on as my specialty. It gives me so much as a human being and supports me as a professional and serves my community with such grace.
