Is TV the most awful invention of the human race, or the most amazing?
Whilst sitting watching TV the other night - Ok, yes, I have admitted it, I am a sinner, I do own a TV and I do watch it! - I got inspired to write this journal and show how you can approach a question like this in a Demartini Stye.
So, we all know the reasons why TV is considered 'Bad', but here's just a few:
1) There are better things that you 'should' be doing with your time, like reading, cooking, exercising and playing2) It's full of 'evil' marketing people trying to get us to buy stuff that we don't need and brainwashing us3) It turns us into a nation of sofa hugging fatties, who get mesmorised by hours of TV4) It's full of violence and encourages people to beha...

I am 3 weeks raw complete! With what I thought would have been a truly
impossible feat! Here I am! Now here's the thing...I've decided to
continue to be raw! I didn't think it would be so easy far less the
food would be so yum so tasty! But before I get hasty...I'm gonna do it
kinda kinda so like if I feel to munch on something really really then
so it shall be once it's not a member of my sentient family! And once I
don't abuse it a plenty!
I've eaten a run of cooked and 'normal'
food today to see but it seems it hasn't been ag...

Scientists at the University of Surrey say that Britain's membership of the EU has had a potentially serious effect on the nation's health, with many Britons now suffering from low selenium levels. It alo says that the growth in the number of cancer cases in the UK has prompted experts to investigate the link between low selenium intake and cancer mortality.
Before its entry into the EU, the UK used to buy most of its wheat from Canada and the US. The North American wheat was grown in soil naturally rich in selenium, an essential mineral long known to have vital cancer protection properties. The home grown and European wheat that is widely used now for bread and baked goods contains considerably lower selenium levels. Then the E...

| The Derailment of Western Civilization - Does it need a bail-out? |

Western
civilization is no longer about geography - it's a stereotype for
greed, addiction and overt and covert forms of white-collar crime; or
perhaps, of a debauched asylum, taken over by its inmates.
This doesn't need no BAIL-OUT. That's a serious misdiagnosis of the real problem. It needs REHABILITATION.
The
Western World - its leaders, proponents and denizens spread across the
world need a proper treatment regime to return to normal life. In good
measure, that calls for compassion. But, in proportion to the nature of
their illness, it needs good doses of censuring, punishment and even
rude shocks to jolt them out of their delusions.
In
the part of the world that I come from, though, they are still playin...

London experienced a cultural and artistic movement in between early
16th and early 17th century which is known as the English Renaissance
Period. The English Renaissance was much influenced by the pan-European
Renaissance which is said to have originated in the 14th century in
northern Italy. Often known as the "age of the Shakespeare" or "the
Elizabethan era," the English Renaissance created stimulation in art,
architecture, literature and music of whole of England. The transition
in the England was accepted with reluctance and it was rather a medley
of the forgotten Gothic and the naive Renaissance.
No field in
England was untouched by the revolution caused by Renaissance. The
English literature was marked by the works ...

(As sent out to Kimberley Jones' LIGHT CIRCLE network - Visit www.lightcoaching.co.uk to join)
Dear Light friends,
I am happy to report that my recent trip to Cuba was ultimately an enjoyable one.
I arrived in Cuba at the tail end of Hurricane Ike which was quite an experience. Once the dramatic storms left the coast of Cuba I was able to track the path of the hurricane on CNN as it tore its way through the global epicentre of the petrochemical industry in Southern Texas.
As major American financial institutions collapsed by the hour it was very clear that change was upon us all.
So here we are in the middle of what the media is terming 'financial crisis' & the 'credit crunch'.
It is undeniable that some ...

Kimberley Jones has talked about the involvement of fear in states of transition; I welcome this because it does seem that fear - or, as I prefer, phobia; that irrational, superstitious, crippling, disproportionate neurosis - inevitably creeps in to ruin our day. And, it’s true, afterwards in hindsight we often wonder what the fuss was about. ‘’Should have done it sooner!’’ How many of us have said that?
Fear has almost become a commodity; it’s traded, fear for fear; it’s used to sell other commodities, buy this or you’ll be poorer, eat this or you’ll die! Ironically, it’s even used to cure people of fear. ‘’Aren’t you worried right now? You should be, everyone else is! Now come with me and I’ll help you out’’.
So what do we do...

Someone recently called me ‘counter-intuitive’. Which I took as a complement, although I’m not sure that it was intended as such. And of course, one of the most inappropriate things to do when Connect is dedicating an edition to green money and ethical investment – on which I am specialist – would be to use this column to write about something completely different.
So read on. . .
It’s really because I recently ran the workshop Making Friends With Money and realised that I’d never written anything about it. I’ve been doing it since 1993 in locations all over the country. And it’s (if I say so myself) pretty damn’ good. But the name seems to frighten people off. Somebody at the last session apologised on the way in because she ...

pure water needn't cost the earth
This article is for the environment as much as it is for you.
Here is the image of an innovative bottled water in the UK called Aquapax. It’s what we have been drinking since we discovered it, because:
● It’s has ultra-low nitrate levels with a pure low-mineral content and comes in a bacteria free container; it is thus safe for babies
● the source is a deep mineral well in Germany
● It has a pH of 7.1
● the waterproof lining of an AQUAPAX carton and the outer protective layer is ultra thin LDPE (low density polyethylene) which is a non-leaching plastic. This keeps the carton water-proof from the outside in & from the inside out. It also ensures the water isn’t in di...
