The Mountainous Molehill By: David Lowell | - The ego and mind are treacherous machines run amuck. Between them, they can take a simple memory or theme and create such a torturous scenario that it would require the tenacity and courage of a K2 ascent, to disarm it. Actually, the mind itself is simply an automaton which endlessly spews forth thoughts, over which we have no control. It is the ego which fuels and feeds on the emotional charge of the deluge.
Reconnecting With The Body: The Body Reunion Key To Wellness By: Anna Stookey, MA, MFT, CHt. | - Each of us is born with a body.

When Love Is In The Air, Remember To Extend Love To Yourself By: Daniel Benor | - If you've got love in your heart, whatever you do from that moment out is likely to be right. If you've got that one true note ringing inside you, then whatever you do is going to be OK. It's love, always love.
- Ken Kesey
On Valentine's Day we focus on amorous love, seeking those special ways to express to someone close to us that we care for them. Oddly, loving and caring for others is often easier for many of us than feeling love and caring for ourselves.
Buried Hurts And Traumas: Crying For Release By: Daniel Benor | - I am repeatedly astounded by the ingenuity of the unconscious mind in its efforts to protect us from emotional pains - in myself and in people who come to me for help with emotional pain that is persistent or recurrent.

Hard to imagine such a thing, isn't it? Yet there are clear, readily available steps we can each take to start to make our personal world much less a place of anxieties, fears and worries and much more a place of peacefulness and enjoyment.
