Kinesis?
I had never heard the term until last week when I visited the 5Focus fitness studio on my trip to Seattle.
Kinesis is a circuit training methodology using exercise equipment that was originally designed in Italy that arrived in the US in the past 2 years. I liken it to a combination Bow flex, Nautilus, and Pilates all wrapped into one. There are also floor exercises and stretching routines that are done as part of the Kinisis 45 minute work out.
In the Kinesis class that I participated in, there were five(5) Kinesis wall-mounted stations consisting of cables connected to weights. Each station focuses on a different muscle group with a full range of motion exercise. It kind of reminded me of Bow flex with the simultaneous combination of resistance and stretching movements.
The floor exercises included lunges, squats, bends, leg exercises,and stair stepping movements that in combination had my thighs and glutes burning.
A personal trainer choreographs the entire session barking orders and keeping time. In our case "Coach Kitty" cracked the whip to insure that no one slacks off and the full circuit of exercises is completed in the allotted 45 minutes.
The Kinesis routines emphasize flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness.
You might think that doing 2 hours of exercise in 45 minutes is the lazy person's route to fitness. You would be mistaken. If you do the exercises faithfully, you are physically spent after 45 minutes.
I highly recommend trying this fitness solution as an alternative to the standard gym workout experience.`

An Amazing Healing Metal
Silver, it's just not for jewelry, fancy tea sets, and tableware.
Did you know that silver heals?
As a part of my on-going exploration I am continuing to play with natural compounds that I think will beneficial to my self and extended family.
Colloidal Silver is one that I came across years ago that I heard had great promise but I never obtained enough detailed information to compel me to study it and try it out on myself until now.
Colloidal Silver is the next "miracle solution" I am working with in my backyard laboratory on Cuernavaca Drive :-)
Silver has been known for centuries as an antimicrobial agent. In the olden days they would place silver in jugs of water to prevent it from spoiling on long treks.
Pioneers on wagon trains were said to suspend silver tableware from strings in their water barrels to keep their water clean and potable.
Silver has been used for years in water filtration systems to kill bacteria, molds and viruses. So using silver for healing applications (like allot of this holistic healing is not new). People are just rediscovering it and technology is improving the delivery of it.
The technology for delivery of silver has come in the form of advanced colloidal silver generators which amounts to placing silver electrodes connected to an electric power source into distilled water. When the elecricity is turned on, the silver atoms give up an electron and dissolve into the water as positive ions. This is colloidal silver. It is minute particles of silver suspended in water. The quantity of silver in the solution is minute.
Through special laboratory processes, the silver is produced in the form of tiny nano-sized particles of elemental silver that can be easily absorbed and carry an electrical charge that zaps bacteria, molds, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens.
It is taken sublingually (under the tongue) for best absobtion or can be swallowed as well, but is subject to dillution from digestive processes in the gastrointestinal tract. It can also be taken transdermally (applied to the skin).
It has been used for burns, antimicrobial treatment, and other immune-system boosting applications.
There are said to be no counterindications and it works synergistically with antibiotics.
Check this out with the guidence of your healing coach. It has great healing potential, especially in these days of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.

Obama, President Elect- Breaks Racial Barrier
Barack Obama is the US President elect. This is an historic moment for all Americans and especially Afro Americans. The racial barrier to the highest office in the land has been broken. This is wonderful! We should all support our new president and wish him well as he has a huge mess to clean up after 8 years of George Bush. The Irag/ Afghan wars, the economic collapse, and the trillions dollars budget deficit.
President elect Obama, Godspeed! You'll need it.
I am hoping that your administration moves to the center and recruits the best bipartisan minds in the country for cabinet positions. I also hope that bi-partisan politics returns to Washington after decades of non productive devisiveness. That's what you have promised, please deliver.
I voted for John Mc Cain. He ran a weak campaign and could not match Obama's charisma and youth. I like John Mc Cain and wish him well.
The Obama election was a referendum against the old guard and the old-tired corrupt ways of politics. Let's hope Obama can rise above the loathesome mistakes of the past. If he doesn't, he will be out of office in 4 years. The American people demonstrated in this election that they are sick and tired of being exploited by the monied interests and the "bought and paid for politicos".
Good luck Barack!

Phillies World Series and Healing the "Pain Body"
I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you are not from there, you have no idea what the Phillies World Series means to the people of that city and the relief that it gives to the collective "pain body" of the sports fans there.
The "Pain body" is the term Echart Tolle refers to in his best selling book, "A New Earth, Awakening Your Life's Purpose ". It is a condition that Tolle says is cultivated by the egoic self to fulfill perceived need to be right. The Pain body is the part of us the gets offended by the smallest slight, insult, or perceived affront to our dignity. It is the part of us that vigorously defends our "dignity" against a usually imaginary foe in the name of "righteousness". It feeds on itself constantly and is the source of most of the conflicts in the world. The need to be "right" and protect one's dignity.
Many Philly fans have a huge "pain body" (present company excluded). If you don't believe me, wear an opposing teams hat, sweatshirt, or jacket and make eye to eye contact with a Philly fan. If that does not instigate a comment, climb as high in the stadium or arena as you can and chant "Philly sucks....Philly sucks....Philly sucks..."
If this activity does not evoke the collective pain body from the local populous, the building you are in is empty.
I have seen people liteally thrown down a flight of stairs in the stadium for loudly rooting for the opposing team.
Philadelphia is a city that sits midway between the financial and political seats of power in the US- New York City and Washington, DC. You drive through Philly or take the Metroliner to get to the other two places, where the BIG decisions are made. In Philly, we're "tweeners" and sometimes just a little defensive about the importance of our city as compared to the other two. Some folks have a chip on their shoulder.
Philadelphia is a huge sports town. We are the best fans and we are the worst fans.
We have huge "pain bodies". We need a winning sports franchise bad. It's been way too long since we have gotten bombed at a victory parade. The mummers parade is an excuse to get inebriated, but that's diferent. It's not a sporting event.
If you are a professional athlete in Philly and play hard, win, and are accessible, we love you. If you are a slacker, make allot of money, lose games, and are aloof......watch out. You will be run out of Philly on a rail. Many an athlete has had to lick their wounds from being on the receiving end of the boo birds and the sports media who stirs the pot of controversy at an athlete's expense On a slow news day if there is no controversy, the press will create some.
Philadelphia fans have been starved for a championship. The last time the city had a championship was in 1983 when the 76ers won the NBA title. Before that it was 1980 and the Phillies World Series Championship. My favorite team, the Eagles haven't won the Super Bowl since 1960! There wasn't even a Super Bowl back in those days.Quarter century, no winners. You'd feel pain if you were us....
Philadelphia has had to watch New York (Giants/ Yankees) and Washington (Redskins)win several championships during the past 25 years, while getting close ourselves, but never able to close the deal. If you want to stretch further up the railroad tracks to Boston, we've had to watch the Red Sox win 2, the Patriots win 3, and the Celtics win one in basketball during the past 25 years. Why not us? Is the collective refrain. Why can't we bring a championship to the city? Is there a jinx?
Well, finally the Phillies broke the Karmic ice....now we need an Eagles NFL Super Bowl victory to fill us up. Maybe in 2010? The pain body has been thrown a tube of Polish kielbasa to chew on for a couple of months to satiate it. On second thought- make that a Jim's Cheese Steak with extra velveeta, fried onions, sweet peppers, ketchup, salt, and pepper. To go.
We'll see,,,,

PS- What's this have to do with Natural Healing? I guess there is some connection between the "pain body and eating Philly Cheese Steaks?

Manifesting Wealth in Economic Turmoil
The Internet is full of Law of Attraction and manifesting wealth experts/ coaches.
I met THE MAN in this area on Saturday, Joe Vitale, author of "The Attractor Factor" amongst many other titles. Parked in front of the store Rancho de Luxe in Wimberley, Texas that hosted a book signing for Joe was a brand new Rolls Royce luxury sedan that Joe purchased, priced in the range of a cool $400,000 (pictured here). This is "exhibit Z" in a long line of demonstrations that his methodology really works. He even conducted his first "Roll Royce Mastermind" brainstorming session in the car on Friday night while driving it through the Texas Hill Country.
This exotic luxury liner was purchased a few weeks ago when it was clear that the global stock market was in a free-fall, the subprime mortgage securities market had infected every economy around the world, a recession is in full swing, and the worst decline on Wall Street since the crash of 1929 that started the Great Depression was in play.
My point here is not to applaud conspicuous consumption, exotic luxury goods, or any of the baggage that gets attached to being wealthy in the present economy. The point here is that we all have the ability to overcome the economic mass-media mass hysteria by disconnecting from it and choosing prosperity consciousness over scarcity consciousness. Joe's act is symbolic. He's sending the signal to the Universe that he is not going to play the game from a fear consciousness position, but from an abundance/ prosperity consciousness vibe. He is giving FEAR the one finger salute here. So should all of us!
Joe in defiance of this global mass hysteria, went ahead with a huge luxury goods purchase without a second thought. This is because he has incredible confidence in his ability (everyone's) to continuously manifest wealth with deliberate Intent. This goes for health and happiness as well.
Let's face it, it is not all about money. But money is the energy that enables us to be free to do good works and help others in need rather than be preoccupied with paying the rent. It's not about greed, but the ability to be prosperous and generous at the same time.
Joe has written about this ability and demonstrated it in life multiple times and offers template for how he does it in the "Attractor Factor".
I gave Joe a copy of my book "Rich Remedies, Volume 1" for inspiration that I received from two of his other books "Zero Limits" and "Hypnotic Writing" as well as a larger body of work that he has created.
Three (3) signed copies of "Attractor Factor" were purchased for my wife Linda and my children Scott, Emily, and Christian as well as another friend. I highly recommend this book.I am reading the book for the second time. Check it out.

PS- It's not about being rich for money's sake but about having enough to be comfortable and give to others.

Fifty percent (50%) of Doctor's Prescriptions are Placebos!
The National Institutes of Health confirmed today that approximately 50% of the prescriptions given to patients are placebos (fakes) These include:inert ingredients, vitamins, nonsteroidal anti inflamatories, low dose antibiotics, and/ or sedatives.
"You mean to tell me, Doc, I'm getting better, esentially taking nothing?"
To quote myself in "Rich Remedies, Volume 1, My Amazing Natural Self Healing Discoveries"http://www.iuniverse.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-000062621
"All schools of medicine work at some level, including the “placebo effect” where a patient is given a sugar pill, instead of real medicine, then gets better just because she believes she is better, even though the pill she is taking is a blank. This is the power of “Intention” which is: If you believe in the cure, you increase your chances of getting better tenfold. The placebo effect, although scorned by many in the medical establishment is actually the most powerful natural remedy there is. There is nothing more powerful than your mind when it comes to healing yourself."
I was right! Except that I did not give doctors enough credit for issuing blanks to thair patients.
I guess a retraction is in order. I said that the medical establishment scorns the use of placebos. I am dead wrong. They use them 50% of the time! I'll fix this when I sell out the curent 10,000 volume book run I've got going:-) :-) For the full story browse National Institutes of Health- Placebo or use this link below.

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&resnum=0&q=national+institutes+of+health-+placebo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=news_result&resnum=4&ct=title
Reasons given for doctors issuing blanks are:
>Get rid of the patient- throw them a bone so they'll leave the doctor's office
>Patient insists on getting a prescription
>Nothing else worked on a patient, so try a blank
>Parent needs to see their child being treated with something/ anything so placebo is given to make them happy
It's all in the mind, isn't it?

Rock Legends To Play State College Fundraiser for Obama-Biden
The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons.
Event details:
Who: Bob Wier, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart
Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Marc Quinones, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti
What: Concert Fundraiser
Where: Bryce Jordan Center Pennsylvania State University State College, PA
When: Monday, October 13, 2008 Doors Open 5:30 PM EDT
Unfortunately I will be in San Marcos, Texas today and unable to attend this event in my boyhood state of Pennsylvania. It will be an awesome show. The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band had some incredible concerts together back in the early 1970's. This scribe is dating himself here with this blog post. Time to take a teaspoonful of resveratral anti-aging tonic! (No kidding, I will when I'm done typing this)
I'm not sure who I'm voting for in the Presidential Election. Maybe I'll toss Ron Paul, Independent Candidate from Texas a protest vote? At least he has some fresh ideas. Enough politics here.
In the early days the Allman Brothers Band played fund raisers for Plains, Georgia's favorite son, Jimmie Carter (Billy Carter's Brother) and actually helped get him elected. It also helped with the sale of the cult beverage "Billy Beer". I'll cesase with repeating ancient history and with all political discourse.
AHO
