Dreams-A Tip about What They Mean

Friday, January 9th, 2009

On Saturday, Dr Marcia Emery. an international authority on intuitive dreams talked about dreams and dream symbols. One point that was made by both of my dream experts during their interviews is that dreams are individual and that one size does not fit all. Thus, dream symbol books and advice of others may be helpful as a starting point but only the dreamer can validate whether or not the information fits his particular life. For example, many people may interpret a hospital and medical staff in dreams as a sign of illness. However, for me as a registered nurse these same symbols may pertain to the work situation in my life. Thus, the dreamer should seek help from others but the final analysis is his/hers.

Tips on Yoga

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

On Saturday, Padma talked with us about yoga. Although yoga has been researched and found to alleviate conditions ranging from constipation, gas pain, sunken chest, round shoulders, bursitis and back pain, it is mainly a preventive system to keep the body and mind healthy. As discussed by Padma continuing to do daily yoga can lead to being able to do head and shoulder stand as well as other postures into your 80′s.

Yoga should begin with a warm up session. These may be stretching, tensing, flexing, or balancing exercises. Some of these warm up exercises as well as yoga postures are identified and discussed in my book Healthy Holistic Aging: A Blueprint for Success. This is available at Barnes & Nobles, Amazon.com or on my website: www.HealthyHolisticAging.com     DVD’s of yoga can also be obtained on Padma’s website:www.padmameditation.com
