What is Peace?

What is peace? Peace is more than the absense of violence, it is the ceasing of being against things. Seek out what you may have been against in your life and begin to change. That does not mean that you are in agreement with it, simply do not be against it. When you do this watch how room appears in your life, how space appears in your life. Most importantly though, watch how peace appears in your life. Seek peace.

Can Hypnosis Help with Stress Induced Weight Gain? YES!

Good Morning All! May you all Have a Great Week!

"I found this article over the weekend and I would like to share it with everyone as I found it to be very interesting.”

Shayn Cutino
"Appeared in the July 15 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology"

For the study, 1,355 men and women was followed for more than nine years.

The research was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the National Institute on Aging“Today’s economy is stressing people out, and stress has been linked to a number of illnesses —such as heart disease, high blood pressure and increased risk for cancer.

This study shows that stress is also linked to weight gain,” according to Jason Block, M.D., M.P.H., who conducted the research.

Women’s waistlines are affected by more types of stress, according to the study, “Psychosocial Stress and Change in Weight Among U.S. Adults.”

In addition to weight gain associated with financial problems or a difficult job, women also added pounds when grappling with strained family relationships and feeling limited by life’s circumstances.

For men, the numbers on the scale did not go up when facing difficult family relationships or feeling constrained by life circumstances. Among men, lack of decision-making authority at work and lack of skill discretion was associated with greater weight gain.

Skill discretion can be defined as the ability to learn new skills on the job and to perform interesting job duties.

Overall, this study found that people who reported increased psychological stress gained more weight if they already had higher body mass indexes (BMI).

Trusting "Self"

I wrote a series of thoughts in September for meditation purposes. But, I wanted to elaborate on a particular thought...I feel it's a timely message for alot of people and would be helpful to refocus energy on this message:

We are never to worry or doubt ourselves regarding our place in the world. We are to go see, to hear, to look and to feel the many blessings of creating in our lives. We are to know that as we go, everything we need will be waiting for us to discover through feeling and then through knowing. Allow the light that you are to shine brightly and say to yourself "All is well".


Life can be a very confusing and difficult journey at times. However, those difficult times somehow always lead back to better ones if we continue our belief in ourselves. It's a simplistic statement that involves contemplation of it's impact. If one resigns themselves to always having "bad luck" then the creation of bad luck is in effect.




The journey of life isn't complete without the joy, love, laughter and light it brings. By the same token, it isn't complete without the hardships, difficulties, crying or recognizing the darkness it can bring as well.

If you never experience darkness, how will you recognize light? It is the circle of life. You have everything you need. Trust in yourself.

We are never to worry or doubt ourselves about our place in the world. We are to merely go looking, to go and to see, to hear and to feel the many blessings of creating in our lives. We are to know that as we go, and as we do that, everything we need... will be there waiting for us to discover, first through feeling and then through knowing.

Allow yourself to shine brightly and say All is well.
