Books Health: It’s All About Consciousness by Ivan Rados
“Disease–dis-ease–is the result of energy blockages caused by stressful experiences we haven’t fully worked through, allowed ourselves to feel, and really accepted. Healing comes from an aware detachment from those past experiences.

And its combination of healthy fat and high fiber content make it a great food for weight loss and maintenance — many dieters have found that flax seed has been a key to keeping them feeling satisfied. Flax seed is high in most of the B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese…”
Consciousness The Mindful Side of Art By Erica Mazzeo “Over the years I have seen it happen all too often, while subbing in elementary schools, art classes and even witnessing it first hand in art galleries — judgment is still such a heavy part of the way we perceive beauty.

I work hard to explain and demonstrate that art is more than just what you see on a page, a huge misconception. Yes, there is an end product but that is only one dimension of the process of creating.”

The solstice marks the end of a calendar year, so it is a times to think about what we want to bring to an end.
