Regardless of what life presents,
this Love moves with grace through
time and space,
disclosing through thoughts and
Being
the essence of what is
and who we really are,
embracing it all
wholeheartedly with acceptance and
Joy
The boundaries of Love are undefined,
limitless,
unconstrained,
non-existent
An article published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine says that
frequent sex can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of some cancers
and improve longevity. Researchers reviewed studies of health and sex
from the past several decades and revealed the following 10 benefits of
sex:[Read More]
Here are some helpful tips for travelling this holiday season:
Review international policies. Some
countries do screenings and exams at airports, and can quarantine
passengers in a hospital or hotel chosen by the government for up to 7
days. Around the holidays, screening
procedures (including filling out questionnaires and having your
temperature taken) could cause significant delays. At the moment,
neither the U.S. nor Canada[Read More]
By Jim Selman | BioI remember this phrase from the est
training in the 1970s. It was one of the maxims the people received at
the end of the program in ‘the little book of aphorisms’. This booklet
was filled with Werner Erhard’s insights on life and basically
reinforced the idea that ‘this is it’—life is what it is and reality
doesn’t care what we think. The point was to stop being victims and
‘make a difference’. It was a great experience for hundreds of
thousands of folks looking for answers to life’s big questions like
“Who am I?”, “What is my purpose?”, “What’s it all about?”…. and on and
on. The fact is that, in spite of VietNam and a lot of social unrest,
those were exciting times when young Americans were beginning to wake
up and take responsibility for their world.[Read More]
I come from generations of food growers. And it is clear to
me that eating is one of the most intimate of actions. We take into ourselves
the whole of the plant or animal, including the environment in which it was
raised and killed. We take in the work and the well-being, or lack of well-being,
of those who feed us. When my daughter was younger and went through a
McDonald’s phase she wanted to know why the meat didn’t taste as good as the
grass-fed beef raised by some friends of ours. Their beautiful cattle were
allowed to roam and eat the grass, rather than be fed in filthy feedlots,
standing in manure.
By Shae Hadden | BioFriends and
family have been stressing the importance of taking vacations with me
for years. I have somewhat deliberately avoided the conversation as
much as possible until now. End result: a lifetime of little travel,
lots of work and limited 'fun'.All work and no play makes for a dull life. I've been beginning to wonder if perhaps[Read More]
The July 4th long weekend is coming to a close, but we don't have to
limit our enjoyment of life to these hours when we have 'time off'
work. Steve Goldberg over at Upside to the Downturn published the following poem, a timely reminder to savor life as it happens.[Read More]
By Shae Hadden | BioI was talking
with a friend recently about our parents, about what we're observing in
their health as they grow older and what we think is possible for them
in terms of living arrangements. I think a lot of Boomers are in this
same conversation these days. A few things we discussed got me
wondering about how 'true' any of our thinking about health issues in
later life really is for our parents. I began to ask myself whether we are fully present and mindful about this...[Read More]
