By the end of the class we laugh from our belly, and believe or not it is contiguous when we are in the park, because every by passer laughs at us or with us, lol. Thanks again for letting me know.

They play upon the emotions, and negative feelings can and do cause illness. <BR/><BR/>We can actually counterbalance the negative by engaging in laughter; watching a funny movie promotes all sorts of health benefits! <BR/><BR/>See this (you may have to cut both parts out of here and paste them back together to get to the article): <BR/>http://bewellwithmichelle.blogspot.com/<BR/>2006/08/laughter-it-does-body-good.htmlMichelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-84031791121608360692008-03-17T19:00:00.000-07:002008-03-17T19:00:00.000-07:00Michelle, this is really good article.

A great example is media, they seemed to always feed as negative news just to spike us up.

("Qi Dao Newsletter" January 2006) If you are interested, you can follow the link in the sidebar to subscribe to the newsletter.<BR/><BR/>Your flu story is a Great example of the power of the mind. We humans have so much potential for self-healing that we don't use, though your Power of Choice material points us in the right direction, too! However, your co-workers must have thought you feverish and delusional being so ill and yet saying you felt great! ;-)Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-1161344230536191992006-10-20T04:37:00.000-07:002006-10-20T04:37:00.000-07:00Hey Michelle!First, I never even knew there was Wo...Hey Michelle!<BR/><BR/>First, I never even knew there was World institute of self healing! Oh well, I've learned something new today! :)<BR/><BR/>Secondly the healing power of the mind is incredible. I remember once, I came down with a really bad flu while I was at work, It got to the point where I could barely walk as I was so ill...but if anyone came upto me and said; "How are you Amit?" I would respond, "I'm feeling great!" By the time I got home, I pretty much collapsed on my bed but I carried on focusing on my wellbeing. I went to bed and woke up at 4am the next morning. By then I was 95% completely healed and this we a flu, that made most of my work colleagues take two weeks off work, but I was fully healed within two days!<BR/><BR/>The power of the mind strikes again! :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend Michelle, Happy Diwali!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-1161321673743322712006-10-19T22:21:00.000-07:002006-10-19T22:21:00.000-07:00Hi Caroline,Good for you on starting the yoga clas...Hi Caroline,<BR/><BR/>Good for you on starting the yoga class...that's great! I'm sure you will find that it becomes even more beneficial as time goes on. Your teacher sounds wonderful, too...truly a Wise Woman. <BR/><BR/>Stress and anxiety can be the cause of chemical-imbalance related depression, too. Because of the detrimental effect stress has on the digestive system, it can be at the root of chemical imbalances due to the improper or incomplete absorption of needed nutrients which are supposed to supply the proper chemicals. You don't get the chemical balance you require if the nutrients that supply those chemicals are not passed properly through the digestive system. It really pays in better all-around health to reduce stress as much as possible.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your yoga!!Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-1161310283244500152006-10-19T19:11:00.000-07:002006-10-19T19:11:00.000-07:00Michelle, It is so true that the mind can either p...Michelle, It is so true that the mind can either poison the body or soothe it. Isn't it true that stress and anxiety are the cause of (non-chemical imbalance-related) depression, fatigue, and a host of other issues, not to mention how they wear down your defenses and make you vulnerable to other diseases. <BR/><BR/>By the same token my yoga teacher seems like one of the healthiest people I know. She has what I would consider a very stressful life (single mom, not much $$, far from her family), yet she does not have stress, is physically very healthy, and it's because she practices the yogic idea of "simple acceptance."<BR/><BR/>BTW, yes I have FINALLY started that yoga class and I love it! it's very relaxing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-1161195654890587302006-10-18T11:20:00.000-07:002006-10-18T11:20:00.000-07:00Hi G, Thank you.

It seems both very awesome and very commonplace at the same time. :-)<BR/><BR/>JLB, yes, I have seen "What the Bleep Do We Know?" A friend and I have been having discussion sessions with the studyguide...pretty interesting stuff! <BR/><BR/>If you are intersted, here is the page, http://www.whatthebleep.com/guide/ and here is the direct link to the Guide in pdf format, http://www.noetic.org/research/files/Bleep_Study_Guide.pdf<BR/><BR/>The biggest mistake mankind ever made was to try to separate the mind and the body.

If you haven't seen it, I think you would enjoy giving it a try.<BR/><BR/>No matter how we look at things - through the eyes of the scientist, the philosopher, the spiritualist, or the pragmatist - the body is inextricable from the mind, and vice versa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-1161118332872293192006-10-17T13:52:00.000-07:002006-10-17T13:52:00.000-07:00Just awesome Michelle!
