    This series is all about lifting and lengthening. These standing poses express the full reach of our bodies, from toes to finger tips. That brings a nice stretch, but it also helps strengthen the lower body, which must serve as a steady base for the lifted torso and limbs.

  • Thoughts Are Reality

    Albert Einstein

    by Robert E. Rainer, MD

    Utilizing Albert Einstein’s infamous equation

    E=MC2

    I have generated Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation by substituting the C coefficient (the speed of light) with its equivalent velocity variables D/T (Distance/ Time) .

    The Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation is:

    T=√D2x M x 1/E

    Time equals the square root of Distance squared multiplied by Matter then multiplied by the inverse of Energy.

    If we use Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation and solve for M (Matter) we have the following:

    M= E x T2 x 1/D2

    If we analyze the above equation in detail, it reveals that Matter equals Energy multiplied by Time squared then multiplied by the inverse of Distance squared. In effect, the creation of matter depends on energy applied for a given amount of time with continuous focus. Even man’s earliest invention, fire, followed this immutable law — actively rubbing two sticks together (E), for a prolonged period (T), at one localized spot or focus (1/D2). Similarly, subsequent inventions such as the light bulb, radio, airplane, and the internet would also follow suit.

    Is thought not energy? Thought is the energy source that allows man to create his world. Naturally, with thought (E), persistence (T) and focus (1/D2; minimizing D which equates to not deviating from the point of interest), man has created anything that his mind has been able to conceive. Thought, persistence, and focus are the basis for all creation. Whatever exists in the physical world, once danced in the mind of its creator. Hence, the warehouse of man’s creative capacity are his dreams.

    Our great nation exemplifies Samuel Adam’s vision of America as a land of the free. His thought energy was magnified by his fear of being tried for treason by the King of England. Thus, his desperation allowed the hasty formation of the Continental Congress with The Declaration of Independence written and signed shortly afterwards. His intense thought energy culminated in the formation of a document and ultimately a nation of unprecedented freedom. The Continental Congress was essentially a ‘Master Mind’ group of fifty six men resonating the identical ‘thought energy’ of freedom driven by the fear of hanging if their effort was unsuccessful.

  • Toxic Mercury

    Posted on January 18th, 2012 Anna No comments

    According to Boyd Haley, retired professor emeritus at the University of Kentucky (where he headed the chemistry department), about 80 percent of the mercury vapor released from your fillings collect in your body tissues and can take months or years to eliminate. Needless to say, if your body keeps accumulating more mercury than it can eliminate, after many years of chronic exposure you may end up with quite a bit of accumulated mercury in your body. Studies on cadavers have confirmed that the more amalgam fillings a person has, the more mercury collects in their brain, for example.

    Bob Marley

    “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
    ― Bob Marley

  • Practice

    Martha Graham

    “I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one’s being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.”
    ― Martha Graham

    Louise Gluck

    At the end of my suffering
    there was a door.
    Hear me out: that which you call death
    I remember.
    Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting.
    Then nothing. The weak sun
    flickered over the dry surface.
    It is terrible to survive
    as consciousness
    buried in the dark earth.
    Then it was over: that which you fear, being
    a soul and unable
    to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth
    bending a little. And what I took to be
    Birds darting in low shrubs.
    You who do not remember
    passage from the other world
    I tell you I could speak again: whatever
    Returns from oblivion returns
    to find a voice:
    from the center of my life came
    a great fountain, deep blue
    Shadows on azure sea water.
    Louise Gluck
