A SAMPLE PROTOCOL TO PREVENT THE RECURRENCE OF BREAST CANCER As you read this sample protocol, please remember that I look at each person as an individual, a human spirit with a complex set of symptoms, characteristics, and constitutional strengths and weaknesses. I do not treat or look at cancer itself as a separate entity, and therefore have no set protocol for treating cancer. What I do is treat a person who is exhibiting symptoms of imbalance in the body. I change the protocol for that individual whenever necessary, according to the body's reactions.

Kramer promotes the use of Prozac for shyness he also refers to this chemical dwarfing of the human spirit as well. He compares Prozac to the drug "Heavy Sodium" from the last novel by the Southern writer Walker Percy, THE THANATOS SYNDROME, "...a maverick doctor finds that plotters have introduced an insidious chemical, Heavy Sodium, into the water supply. On Heavy Sodium, shy and anxious women - the first example is 'a housebound Emily Dickinson' - become erotic, bold, competitive, slim, un-self-conscious, and insensitive to the point of perfunctoriness.

Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins Sandra Ingerman See book keywords and concepts

The symbol plucks all the strings of the human spirit at once; speech is compelled to take up a single thought at a time. The symbol strikes its roots in the most secret depths of the soul; language skims over the surface of the understanding.4 Besides using symbols to connect with your unconscious, symbols will also help you merge with a higher power. When you begin to image your creator, if you see him or her as a person, this being will have a physical boundary. Since you also have a boundary created by your body, it's difficult to experience complete union with your creator.

Miasms and their "dis-ease" producing tendencies may be related to the struggle of the human spirit to recognize its own divinity through the expression of particular illnesses at the physical level. The radiation, petrochemical, and heavy-metal miasms may indicate a spiritual need for ecological evolution. We have said in earlier chapters that diseases often arise when there are chronic emotional and psychospiritual blockages that create difficulties in allowing the Higher Self to manifest through the ego or conscious personality.

Radical Healing: Integrating the World's Great Therapeutic Traditions to Create a New Transformative Medicine Rudolph M. Ballentine, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

While blind identification with the physical body is crippling to the human spirit, a solid grounding in this incarnation is necessary for carrying out one's life's intent. Associated with the element of Earth, the first chakra should embody the quality of being rooted in life on this planet. Qigong training provides details on how to direct the grounding force from a larger consciousness, and those who have mastered it are known for baffling the untrained by rooting themselves energetically with such firmness that six or eight strong men cannot move them.

Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists Ken Wilber See book keywords and concepts

Settle back now for some of the finest dialogues between physics and philosophy and religion ever authored by the human spirit. In the Preface I said that the attempt to "prove" mysticism with modern physics is not only wrong but actually detrimental to genuine mysticism. Now the attempt itself is perfectly understandable—those who have had a direct glimpse of the mystical know how real and how profound it is. But it is so hard to convince skeptics of this fact, that it is extremely tempting and appealing to be able to claim that physics—the "really real" science—actually supports mysticism.

We recognise that the type of knowledge after which physics is striving is much too narrow and specialised to constitute a complete understanding of the environment of the human spirit. A great many aspects of our ordinary life and activity take us outside the outlook of physics. For the most part, no controversy arises as to the admissibility and importance of these aspects; we take their validity for granted and adapt our life to them without any deep self-questioning.

It is akin to the inner feeling of the scientist which persuades him that, through the exercise of another faculty of the mind, namely its reasoning power, we reach something after which the human spirit is bound to strive. It is by looking into our own nature that we first discover the failure of the physical universe to be co-extensive with our experience of reality. The "something to which truth matters" must surely have a place in reality whatever definition of reality we may adopt.

We all share the strange delusion that a lump of matter is something whose general nature is easily comprehensible whereas the nature of the human spirit is unfathomable. But consider how our supposed acquaintance with the lump of matter is attained. Some influence emanating from it plays on the extremity of a nerve, starting a series of physical and chemical changes which are propagated along the nerve to a brain-cell; there a mystery happens, and an image or sensation arises in the mind which cannot purport to resemble the stimulus which excites it.

I have given an example of one such conviction which is rarely if ever disputed—that surrender to the mystic influence of a scene of natural beauty is right and proper for a human spirit, although it would have been deemed an unpardonable eccentricity in the "observer" contemplated in earlier chapters. Religious conviction is often described in somewhat analogous terms as a surrender; it is not to be enforced by argument on those who do not feel its claim in their own nature. I think it is inevitable that these convictions should emphasis a personal aspect of what we are trying to grasp.

We all know that there are regions of the human spirit untrammelled by the world of physics. In the mystic sense of the creation around us, in the expression of art, in a yearning towards God, the soul grows upward and finds the fulfillment of something implanted in its nature. The sanction for this development is within us, a striving born with our consciousness or an Inner Light proceeding from a greater power than ours.

So, based on the instant visual pharmacology of the time, they concluded that it must also shine favorably on the human spirit. "It was yellow. It possessed the powers of sun and light. The flowers resembled shooting stars," explains Eran Ben-Arye, M.D., a researcher at the natural medicine research unit at Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem.

The human body is considered "less holy" than the human spirit, however, it is only through our body that we can express spirit or the essence of God. It is only through a more profound attentiveness to our body that we can truly honor our spiritual self, and transform our experience of life. God's name or a specific prayer will not heal us more than the free expression of emotion, movement, and breath. Every thought, emotion, and feeling has a unique vibrational state or frequency.

Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world John Robbins See book keywords and concepts

But something has happened to the way animals are treated in modern meat production that is a disgrace to the human spirit, and a violation of the ancient human-animal bond. My problem is not with people who are bombarded by misinformation and are doing what they have come to believe is best for themselves and their children. My complaint is not even with those who suspect what's being done to the animals and sometimes look away, unable to bear the pain.

Oyakawasan passed away four years later at the age of no, but his legacy continues on—and it personifies the resilience of the human spirit. Oyakawasan was born in Nago City, Okinawa, the third of eight children, and spent his youth gathering and selling firewood from the nearby mountains of Yanbaru to help support his family. In 1905, when he was seventeen, he was caught up in the emigration movement that was then sweeping Okinawa.

The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook James Green See book keywords and concepts

The innate joy of being with plants is reflected in the spontaneous uplifting of our human spirit as we commingle with our vegetable allies. Conscientious herbal medicine-making is a transformative process that materializes this communion, expressing it in the forms of nourishing plant concoctions and subtle energetic elixirs, and most importantly as sustained, thriving plant communities. In my travels as an herbalist, the experience of harvesting medicinal plants has become the most intimate and compassionate portion of this communion.

Yet by supporting a vision of the inherent weakness of the human spirit, psychiatric designations and support-group philosophies contribute to our pessimism and depression. Human resilience—and the opposition that some express toward this resilience as being illusory—is apparent among children of alcoholics. In the first place, it has to be noted that even those studies devoted to outlining the genetic transmission of alcoholism—from Goodwin's keynote study on—have found only a minority (in most cases a small minority) who become alcoholics themselves.

In fact, it sometimes illustrates the indwelling cussedness of the human spirit. If we eat the seed with the whole fruit, it is impossible for us to get an excess of nitrilosides from the seeds. On the other hand, if we take apples, throw away all of the fruit, and collect half a cup of apple seeds, and decide to eat that half cup of apple seeds, there is a possibility we can suffer seriously from an overdose of cyanide....

The final step is contemplating oneness with God and the Astral World—where the human spirit never dies, and where, in fact, you can commune with all great minds that ever lived. Ask for a healing. It can miraculously speed up the healing process, he says! "Hundreds Will Be Cured and Save Thousands of Dollars!"

Perhaps this heart consists of the purest essence of the human spirit. Or perhaps, as I believe, this heart is the divine spirit. Whatever it is, it is one of the most potent healing forces you possess. I believe that most healing "miracles"—recoveries that seem scientifically impossible—stem from this force. But you do not need to wait until you need a miracle to experience the power of the sacred space. You can tap into this power today. And you can do it for just a simple, mundane purpose—to gain relief from your stress.

This is what happens when the human spirit is activated. One hundred and fifty years ago, slavery was legal in the United States. One hundred years ago, women could not vote in most states. Eighty years ago, there were no laws in the United States against any form of child abuse. Fifty years ago, we had no Civil Rights Act, no Clean Air or Clean Water legislation, no Endangered Species Act. Today, millions of people are refusing to buy clothes and shoes made in sweatshops and are seeking to live healthier and more Earth-friendly lifestyles.
