For book worms and gift givers

I just finished teaching and I like to turn on the TV to not to miss the 6 o'clock News. On Channel 9 there is a game called Who wants to be a millionaire with Eddie McGuire. It's great fun and gets your brain going! However, tonight, there was an interesting question about which creature has no blood with four very curious options. People chickened out from the answer as they were not sure. The young lady, who came next in the seat to answer this question was very chatty and Eddie invited a question about her passion of reading and books. This is how millions of viewers came to learn about her fabulous subscription based website that I checked out right away because I looooove books and have quite a good library myself.

When I heard about her website that turned her love of books and reading into a sustainable and successful business for the suggestion of her husband, I was quite curious to check it out. When I clicked on the link and saw what it was about, I thought, how very clever!

By providing some information about your reading preferences, you can have a new book sent to you every month when you choose to subscribe to this service! How brilliant!

But even more I like this as a gift option to a loved one! The books will arrive beautifully gift rapped!
In today's technology ruled world this service is just what's missing from our lives to get books back into our hands!

So here is the website and enjoy its benefits! Share it with your friends and loved one, they will love it, too!

Being grounded

I am reading a new book by Dr Norman Doidge, The Brain that Changes Itself.

In the opening chapter of this book we read the story of a woman called Cheryl, who, due to side effect of a medication, totally lost her vestibular function and perpetually falling, even after falling and landing on the ground. Fortunately, due to new inventions, Cheryl's story ends well and as a result of retraining the brain with a new device taking over the function of her vestibular, it becomes one of the first proof that neuroplasticity exists.

"In the 1930-s the psychiatrist Paul Schilder studied how healthy sense of being and a "stable" body image are related to the vestibular sense. When we walk of "feeling settled" or "unsettled", "balanced" or "unbalanced", "rooted" or "rootless", "grounded" or ungrounded", we are speaking a vestibular language, the truth of which is fully apparent only in people like Cheryl (who lost her vestibular function and perpetually falling). Not surprisingly, people with her disorder often fall to pieces psychologically, and many have committed suicide. 

We have senses we don't know we have - until we lose them, balance is one that normally works well, so seamlessly, that it is not listed among the five that Aristotle described and was overlooked for centuries afterward. "

In Biofield Tuning we know that the more grounded a person is, the less chance for illnesses. Therefore, Biofield Tuners make sure that they do a lot of work on the feet, especially on the bottom of the feet and on the so called Earth Star Chakra. Also, the Root Chakra that is located at the base of the spine and grounds us. It represents our security and stability in life. It is our survival centre. Our fight or flight response is initiated from this chakra. It is our primal, animal nature centre. The Root Chakra connects us to our ancestors. War, famine, natural disasters, and any events that threaten our basic survival, are all recorded within energies of the first chakra. This is one of the many reasons why Biofield Tuning is so crucial and successful. It helps to clear these energies and take out the charge of past events.
