Something To Think About~ 
Personal Message from Suze Curtis

 

Whatever you resist has to have FORM

  When you “let go”, it no longer has to exist

 

“Like Molding Clay”

 

        What you put your thoughts on, “molds” the idea into your reality.  

 

        When you consistently “stress & worry” . . . or . . . “don’t want” something to happen, your stressful/worrisome thoughts are LITERALLY “the hands pressing the clay” ~~ What you put THOUGHT to (pressure on) MUST take FORM ~~

 

        Choose TODAY to begin a new thought process ~~ When you “catch yourSELF” worrying about something you “don’t want”, immediately give yourSELF a visual & a statement in your MOST PERFECT IDEAL situation ~~

 

        Yes ~~ It takes a bit of practice ~~ AND ~~ as with ANYTHING we practice in life ~~ it then becomes “second nature” ~~ it is MASTERED ~~

 

        To do this, we must “WAKE UP” ~~ PAY ATTENTION to our thoughts & words ~~ AND ~~

        CHOOSE to change the phrases that have “molded” our lives (to date) ~~  

 

 

The era of being a victim of our own unconscious thoughts  ~~ usually someone else’s thoughts we unconsciously accepted as our own ~~ is past~~  

 

We can choose “right now” to begin “putting thought on” (molding) the world we CHOOSE to create ~~

 

       We can only “choose” (however) when we “WAKE UP” and are “AWARE” of our choices:

 

a)           What are we thinking & saying? 

b)           Are they the thoughts & words that “put form on” (mold) the world we desire?

 

Do you LOVE & VALUE yourSELF enough to begin “practicing &  MASTERING”  the GIFT we were ALL given ~~ Free Will / Free Choice?? 

 

Be True To YourSELVES,

Suze ;-)

 

~Important!! Reminder regarding healthy "Summer-Heat" yoga practice~~

 

 

For those of you who feel dizzy when arching backwards, whether be a standing backbend or camel pose or any pose where you arch back and drop your head back, you may want to consider one of the following alternatives:

--    MOST PROBABLY you may be depleted of salt.  When you practice a physical activity that induces LOTS of sweat, your body loses it's salt content.  Then, if you drink water consistently throughout your practice, you further dilute the salt content available to the body.

If you are a person who eats fairly healthy (in other words you don't live on potato chips and French fries), add salt to your daily food intake.

Adequate salt (sodium) is necessary, equally distributed throughout the body, to keep you in perfect equilibrium and balance.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES

--    Major arteries run up the back of the neck into the head.  Sometimes when a person "drops their head back" as they arch back the blood flow cuts off and the brain doesn't  receive oxygen.  Therefore, there is the possibility to feel dizzy.

--  Sometimes if there are subluxations (vertebrae in the neck out of alignment), when the head is dropped back the vertebrae close off or "squish" the nerves that are communicating through the vertebrae into the brain. 

--    If either of these are a condition that you feel maybe be affecting you -- in other words if you feel dizzy -- simply keep your chin a "fist-distance" away from your chest as you arch back.  The back will bend without the head dropping back.

Support~~

·         The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on
it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for FREE. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.   http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

·         Breast Cancer "Patient Protection" Act
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy.      It's about eliminating the "drive-through mastectomy" where women are forced to go home hours after surgery against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a petition drive to show your support.  Last year over half the House signed on.

·         Help Keep Vitamin & Herbal Products FREE (without prescription)
Did you know that European and International legislation is proposing to: 

§         Ban over 300 natural ingredients from free sale

§         Restrict the dosage level of 'approved' nutrients to levels that will render them ineffective

§         Ban herbal remedies for no other reason than that they don't have a 30 year history of use

§         Ban any statements about the effectiveness of nutrients in dealing with disease

§         Give governments the right to re-classify safe and effective natural remedies as medicines - at will 

The website http://www.dr-rath-foundation.org offers a 115kb program for download that will enable you to send your personal letter as an email to all Members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It just takes a few mouse clicks to do that! 

As someone who values their fundamental human right to make a free choice about how they look after their own health, you owe it to yourself and your family to protect that right by writing these letters now - and by forwarding this email to all the names in your email address book so that they can do the same.
