Welcome June

Joyful June Greetings

The weather is so spectacular here this week that I had to take a photo of the report. Hope this entry finds you well and in the process of detoxing from the madness of winter (I don't mean the weather) I mean where life takes you with stresses an schedules.

Last evening I got to enjoy a talk by Gabor Mate who is a physician and author who has studied the connection of stress and disease in our society he works with street folks in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The body,mind, spirit connection which the ancients taught us is finally being recognized by science in some areas.

The two strongest messages were that when we have been prevented from learning how to say no (to stressful situations)our bodies may end up saying it for us.-When the Body Says No

The second thing is that those of us who have experienced unconditional love, see life as a a challenge and those who have not, see life as a chore to get through. Eventually the latter leads to a build up in tension and addictions that cause physical health issues. -system overload. It's all about discovering our true nature which is not chronic illness or cancer but good health.

This may seem just too simplistic put this way, but in the scope of a couple of sentences I can't do justice to his theories. I would encourage you to check out his website http://www.drgabormate.com/ or www.whenthebodysaysno.ca/book.html

If you have children of any age, his book Hold on to your Kids Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers . "a loud wake-up call for mothers and fathers...This (book) offers what many of the others do not-that rare commodity known as common sense."-Winnipeg Free Press

His books support rather than condemn us in our journey through this realm and encourage us to support others around us.

Till next time

Love and Light to all

Namaste
