The Fourth Dimension

Bonnie | September 6, 2010

Frequently people talk about what caused this illness or that illness. What did I need to learn to bring this in. As I was driving down the road it, I was thinking how often people think they get what is going on, but the answers always seem a little bit off or shallow to me. [...]

Palliative Care

Bonnie | September 3, 2010

Generally when people think of care for their health, they are thinking in terms of curing care. They want something that will cure the cold, the flu, the arthritis, the fibromyalgia or the cancer. Sometimes there is no real care available. Diabetics, for instance, have no cure. Type I diabetics are reliant on insulin for [...]

Be In Motion

Bonnie | September 1, 2010

I subscribe to Mark Silver’s Heart of Business Blog. This morning he spoke about being in motion. The section that really got me thinking was this passage, “The brilliance of this metaphor is in the observed phenomenon that you have to be in motion to see change. Just sitting there isn’t going to get you [...]

Responsibility and Guilt

Bonnie | August 30, 2010

I was reading a book on pet health. I was surprised, but not surprised to learn that most people feel a bit guilty over their pet’s death. Virtually all owners felt they should have done something differently or done more. It is as if we expect that we are more than human to our pets. [...]

Happiness is Relational

Bonnie | August 17, 2010

I’ve been reading a very enjoyable book called, The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World. I found it a lot of fun and insightful Towards the end, one of the people in the book tells our writer that all happiness is relational. You can’t have personal happiness, it’s [...]

Be Emotional

Bonnie | August 11, 2010

I was listening to Thom Hartmann the other day and he talked about sociopaths briefly. It sort of coincided with something I have thought. We worship sociopaths in our culture. Some of the things required to be successful in business require that one be sociopathic. One can’t care about what the product does to others. [...]

Another Reason Not to Medicate Yourself

Bonnie | August 9, 2010

Food Politics has another article on supplements suggesting that some claims are misleading and deceptive. While I am a great believer in natural healing and the use of supplements and herbs, I am also a great believer in making sure someone who is knowledgeable about the use of the particular supplement or herb is giving [...]

It’s Not All in the Head

Bonnie | August 6, 2010

Often people think that if there is a psycho somatic component to their illness it means it’s not really in their body. In other words, if they have an emotional issue around which their body symptoms exist, somehow this means the pain isn’t really in their body. It really is in the body. The pain [...]
