What happens if I believe I am physically, emotionally and spiritually whole? Better yet, what if I take a leap of faith and I think, behave, make choices, and live within the belief that I am whole, healthy, secure, peaceful, loving and lovable?
Belief
Silence.
We are born from silence.
If we live from the silence within, we know our wholeness lives there too.
It is limitless, eternal, trustworthy, joyous, compassionate, loving and real.
Wholeness is not broken.
It cannot be broken, as each piece is part of the whole and contains the mystery of the whole.
We cannot run from wholeness or turn away from it.
It goes with us, because we are wholeness.
I look at my finger and it is not only a finger. It is a part of a hand that is part of an arm, that is part of a shoulder, that is part of a body, that is part of creation, and creation is wholeness.
This truth is challenging to understand. We cannot find wholeness because it is not lost.
We are wholeness. When our mind is quiet and still, our heart is open, and our trust is strong, trust turns and looks straight into our eyes and speaks, "Here I am, I am wholeness. I have always been here. I was
with you before you were born and I remain throughout time, because I am you."
It is up to us to live our life in wholeness

Memory Loss and Remembrance
I had traumatic brain injury surgery in 2005. Had real bad migraines in my 20s. In 1999 I fell from a 5-foot ceiling and landed on the back of my head. When I was fixing a curtain, my foot slipped and I landed on the back of my head. Although Doctors fixed my broken wrist, elbow and collarbone, they never checked for head injury. The injury went unnoticed for many years. In 2005 I had life threatening surgery for a large Tumor that rendered me unable to walk.
They told my family I might not make it. My surgery took 8 hours and I was in a fight for my life. I was in ICU for 6 weeks. I had patches on my eyes and my head was wrapped and developed amnesia, blurred double vision and low vision. I only see part of the picture. I have Diplopia and was hooked up so many wires even for Breathing.
I could not move and had no memory and my blood pressure was so high that I had burn marks on my face. The priest was with me all the time teaching me how to accept my death. I went to rehab in a wheel chair. After I was stable, I had to relearn everything, how to walk, brush my teeth and even how to talk.
They said I have expressive aphasia speech. I was in rehab for one week. My brain was swelling and bleeding. I was rushed back to the main hospital. They had to give me high doses of steroids. I had to stay in the hospital again. I had to live with family sense I could not live alone. I was in a lot of pain.
I have been living alone now for 4 years. I have a Tumor in my Brain Stem, and my vision got worst. Now I run and dance walk with all my weights. I was in the newspaper a few times as the route 7 dance walker. I am known as the dance walker. I dance walk because of my vision and can kill deadly zones, cancer and other illness. We have to eat healthy and keep moving and think positive. And always have a goal.

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera holds a place in Ayurvedic (or Indian medicine) similar to ginseng in Chinese medicine. Although its name is derived because its roots smell like a horse - "Ashwa" meaning "horse" and "Gandha" meaning "odour" - don't let this put you off as it is a very potent herb that can play many roles in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias! It is a powerful rejuvenative herb and adaptogen meaning that it can help increase endurance, whilst also helping to increase energy and strengthen the immune system. In addition to all of this, it also has anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and is a potent antioxidant with mind-boosting properties.
Ashwagandha contains flavonoids and many active ingredients of the withanolide class and it is these that are believed to account for Ashwagandha's many medicinal roles. Researchers from the Paul Flechsig Institute for Brain Research, University of Leipzig, Germany and also researchers in India have discovered that Ashwagandha increases acetylcholine receptor activity in the brain and it is this that partly explains its cognition and memory enhancing effects in humans.
Other researchers have also discovered that Ashwagandha stimulates the growth of axons and dendrites in human nerve cells - which may play an important role in repairing damaged neuronal circuits (brain pathways) in the ageing brain, whilst also preventing the loss of other brain nerves and synapses or nerve connections. This is vitally important as Ashwagandha can not only prevent brain damage but also repair damage that has already occurred! This led the lead researcher to state that Withanolide-A (the active ingredient in Ashwagandha) is "an important candidate for the therapeutic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, as it is able to reconstruct neuronal networks".
Ashwagandha is also a sedative and a mood enhancer and may also play a role in improving sleep and behaviour in those suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
The herb is readily available over the internet in both a powdered form and as a tea, tincture or a capsule. However care must be taken as its raw seeds can be toxic and because of this it should be prepared and used only as prescribed by an experienced practitioner.

COUNSELLING DOES NOT WORK

This article is about Counselling and the possible reasons it doesn't work.
When it comes to counselling most people I have spoken to believe one of two things - it is so helpful or it's a waste of time. When you delve further into this viewpoint it becomes apparent as to why they have developed these thoughts around counselling.
Just so you know I am an avid advocate of counselling and believe everyone should aspire to be able to work through their issues - either on their own or with the help of a professional. However people say Counselling just doesn't work.
Now this belief of mine - that therapy isn't successful didn't happen overnight - is based on two reasons.
1) I have had my share of demons to deal with and attended many counselling sessions - they didn't work - then.
2) During my 12 years of employment in the community welfare sector, I have worked with people with issue upon issue upon issue. Many have had several lots of counselling to deal with issues. Yet they still have wheelbarrows of issues.
Many of us have had so much counselling - anger management counselling, bereavement counselling, divorce counselling, addictions counselling, grief counselling, relationship counselling, depression counselling, anxiety counselling, and the list goes on.
So much counselling that we become "immune" to it. Like when you have regular medications and eventually the affect just doesn't even happen. Or when because your have heard a song over and over you just seem to switch off from it
I remember one point when it seemed "trendy" to be seeing a therapist. Anyone who was someone was regularly attending therapy sessions. In today's busy world - in some jobs its even mandatory to have "supervision" - debriefing of your work.
WE ARE ALL COUNSELLORS.
At some point in our lives we have all had to assist someone who was suffering. Everyone has had an experience that has hurt us, left us numb and wondering what next. From our own personal experiences and what we learned, we can then be there for someone else in need. That's not to say that how I handle situations is how someone else addresses them. Yet we can at least know what they are feeling and offer suggestions and at some point possibly relate to what they are thinking or trying to achieve.
Any time you sit with someone and listen to their troubles - you are counselling.
WHAT EXACTLY DO PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLORS DO
What do you think a "Counsellor" "Therapist" or "Psychologist" does? They say - "How did that make you feel"? "What do you think about that"? Some might say - not much. Actually - all that sitting is doing an immense amount of good.
My assessment is:
o They listen
o They share your pain
o They ask questions
o They get You thinking differently
o They get You to explore meanings
Through my work in community welfare, I have discovered that there are many people out there who just don't have anyone they feel safe confiding in. They fear the repercussions of actually voicing their worries. I was under the impression that all people have someone they trust enough to share their inner most thoughts and concerns with. However, I was mistaken.
The prospect of confiding in a professional can also be daunting. Yet the prospect of telling my best friend can also be daunting? Will they think less of me? What does it say about you if you share your inner most thoughts with a complete stranger? Are the consequences of this going to be detrimental and restricting? What's the point? How will it help?
Have you ever had a problem so overwhelming you just didn't know what to do about it. An issue that was so uncomfortable you just didn't feel you could confide it in anyone. There may have been times when you felt the urge to say something, but for some deep reason you just couldn't bring yourself to. An issue that you know is there, but have buried deep in the back of your mind, covered with plenty of other issues, concerns, frustrations etc in a vain attempt to forget. Or perhaps you may even think - "yep - over that, its no biggie". Then one day - bam - a smell, a word, a gesture and it's right there in your face..
IF IT'S SO GOOD - WHY DIDN'T IT WORK?
Ok, so Ive pointed out that most of us have had some counselling - even people who may not need it have seen therapists just because it's the "in" thing to do.
Ive pointed out that we have all done some counselling - and Ive listed what Counsellors do. Soagain - Why didn't it work? I still feel the same, I still have the same problem, if anything I'm more confused than ever. It was a waste of time.
WHY DIDN'T IT WORK
First lets start with External reasons - the ones we can all come up with -
o I don't have a problem
o The problem is someone else
o I just didn't connect with the Counsellor
o They didn't seem to get what I was saying
o They didn't solve the problem
o They were talking about something totally irrelevant to my problem.
So as valid as these reasons may be - lets drill into things.
Was it your choice to go -
Where you totally upfront and honest with the counsellor
Was it difficult to cope with the sessions or the memories they brought up
Where the answers not what you wanted
Basically - did you leave out bits of relevant information, did it get a bit awkward, or where you made to go to keep someone happy
How did you deal with this situation? Oh - you stopped going? Right!!
So if you take all the above into consideration the real reason Counselling didn't work for you was YOU - didn't really give it a go!!
You may have felt a little daunted by the conversations, there may have even been nightmares, or it was just confrontational. So you gave it away.
Now your probably thinking that's a bit harsh - but realistically - if a trained professional (or a number of them, as we generally go from one to another) hasn't helped - what is the common denominator - You.
Counselling is a very handy tool to add to your toolbox for dealing with day to day issues. My experiences have taught me how to get the most out of counselling.
I have spent many years assisting people to relink to services that can help them after they have tried and failed. My passion is to work out why things don't work and to help others make better decisions and life life to the fullest. This isn't easy to do when you have "baggage". So unloading that in the right way, helps you to achieve greater things. Each of us has special talents and things to learn from our experiences, sometimes, we just don't realise that the reason for something is to teach us how to handle life

Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn, M.D. began using the phrase high level wellness in the fifties, based on a series of lectures at a Unitarian Universalist Church in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970's.
Dunn defined wellness as "an integrated method of functioning which is oriented toward maximizing the potential of which the individual is capable. It requires that the individual maintain a continuum of balance and purposeful direction within the environment where he is functioning." He also stated that "wellness is a direction in progress toward an ever-higher potential of functioning".
The term has been defined by the Singapore-based National Wellness Association as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.
The phrase can also be seen as an analogue to the medical term "homeostasis".
Wellness can also be described as "the constant, conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential."
Alternative approaches to wellness are often denoted by the use of two difference phrases: health and wellness, and wellness programs. These kind of wellness programs offer alternative medicine techniques to improve wellness. Whether these techniques actually improve physical health is controversial and a subject of much debate. James Randi and the James Randi Educational Foundation are outspoken critics of this alternative new age concept of wellness. The behaviors in the pursuit of wellness often include many health related practices, such as natural therapies.
Wellness, as a luxury pursuit, is found obviously in the more affluent societies because it involves managing the body state after the basic needs of food, shelter and basic medical care have already been met. Many of the practices applied in the pursuit of wellness, in fact, are aimed at controlling the side effects of affluence, such as obesity and inactivity. Wellness grew as a popular concept starting in the 19th century, just as the middle class began emerging in the industrialized world, and a time when a newly prosperous public had the time and the resources to pursue wellness and other forms of self-improvement.
Wellness determinants:
Wellness can be described as a state that combines health and happiness. Thus those factors that contribute to being healthy and happy also will be contributing to being well. Factors that contribute to health and happiness are known, at least since the time of Ancient Greeks. In order to achieve a state of wellness one has to work on its determinants. The determinants of wellness are: feeling of control of destiny, health practices, spirituality, family, environment, work, money and security, health services, social support and leisure.
Wellness programs:
Definitions of wellness vary depending upon who is promoting it. These wellness promoters try to facilitate a healthier population and a higher quality of life. Wellness can be defined as the pursuit of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Wellness, as an alternative concept, is generally thought to mean more than the mere absence of disease; rather it is an optimal state of health. Wellness is pursued by people interested in recovering from ill health or specific health conditions or by those interested in optimizing their already good state of health.
Supporters of these programs believe that many factors contribute to wellness: living in a clean environment, eating organic food, regularly engaging in physical exercise, balance in career; family; and relationships, and developing religious faith. But, there are two basic widely different approaches to wellness. The original faith-based wellness programs offer a spiritual approach which is in opposition to the more recent secular wellness promoters.
Some well known wellness promoters are Deepak Chopra Don B. Ardell, David F. Duncan and Andrew Weil. Janice Doochin of In-Harmony.
