Current Research on Homeopathy

The latest issue of the homeopathy ezine called Hpathy.com has a great summation of articles that lists the positive research on homeopathy. While the articles are chock full of ads *ugh*, the text itself is quite informative and enlightening. If you're like me and you find yourself telling your friends and even some complete strangers about the power you've experienced with homeopathy, this article gives you loads of ammunition for just those occasions. For instance, did you know that people in 41 of the 42 countries in Europe use homeopathy? And did you know that nearly 30% of Europeans use homeopathy for their health care? Kinda makes you wonder what the state of homeopathy would be in America if it hadn't been forced into the margins by the American Medical Association.

Check out the article at this link: http://www.hpathy.com/research/chatfield-research-overview.asp. Aside from that article, Hpathy.com has tons of other information and discussion about all things homeopathy.

Be well my friends.

Personal Health Appraisal

King Bio has this wonderful tool that enables all of us to take an honest look at our mental, physical, and emotional health in ways that truly empower us. We call this tool the Personal Health Appraisal, and it's offered for free, only through this blog.

The Personal Health Appraisal walks you through a series of statements, asking you to rank your responses to specific situations.

This appraisal lays things out very clearly and simply, elevating your self-perception and empowering you to take steps to help you re-create your health!

Anyone who is interested in receiving a copy of this Personal Health Appraisal just needs to leave me a comment below (by clicking on the comment link after this post) with their email. I'll gladly send one off to you. If you have any questions, perhaps about how to fill out the questionaire, or maybe the questionaire brings up issues you feel you need to discuss, either leave me a comment or email me at dbarkett@kingbio.com.

I wish you good health and the gift of re-creation!

Regain that Hope!

Alright, it's one thing to know that being hopeful creates more meaningful life experiences. But how do we go about regaining our lost hope? Sometimes it feels like a darkness has engulfed us and nothing will be able to rescue us. Fear not. Hope is on the way.

Dr. Sciloi, writing in Spirituality and Health magazine, details fourteen different way of working on regaining hope, one for each of the fourteen different aspects of hope. It is not necessary to practice each of these exercises, but rather, prioritize which elements you most need in your life and honestly judge which of the exercises you will most effectively be able to incorporate into your life.

Here's the exercises. If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a question in the comment section below.

• Ask, "What would my role model do?"


• Do you end-of-life reflection right now.


• Experiment with smiles.


• Travel!


• Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing (breath in for a count of four from your belly and out for a count of six).


• Take stock of your connections (list the members of your immediate family, five members of your extended family, five closest friends, and five coworkers- then list ways you can improve your connections with these people).


• Re-envision your next ten experiences.


• Practice to Access Wisdom (meditate and be mindful).


• Experience a new sacred practice.


• Play with your brain.


• Make kindness your research project.


• Detach, master, or attach.


• Spread your love.


• Wrie your mission statement.

Phew! Quite a list. But if you incorporated just one of these exercises into your daily routine, I bet you'll feel the hope return to your life in ways totally unexpected and fulfilling.

Be well, my friends.
