Playing the Hand You are Dealt

Bonnie | December 30, 2009

I just finished The Intuitive Advisor: A Psychic Doctor Teaches You How to Solve Your Most Pressing Health Problems and read this quote which I think can be very important: In the end, I think it’s part of the mystery of life that we’re each dealt a genetic “poker hand.” Some of us get crappy [...]

Root and Branch

Bonnie | December 28, 2009

I just stared reading Mona Lisa’s Shultz’s new book The Intuitive Advisor: A Psychic Doctor Teaches You How to Solve Your Most Pressing Health Problems. In her preface she talks about the fact that there is no single reason for any illness. It’s not just the environment or just a spiritual thing or just this [...]

Trust Yourself

Bonnie | December 22, 2009

When people come into my office, they often ask for advice on what to do, what to eat, what choices to make which are given them by another healthcare provider. They want advice on who to see and what other types of alternatives to seek out. While I can talk to them about the things [...]

My Food Related Wish List

Bonnie | December 18, 2009

During the holidays we are often thinking about what we want to give as gifts, but are also offering suggestions for those who want to give to us. In that vein, I’d like to consider what I’d like to know when it comes to learning more about food and cooking. I want to learn more [...]

Thoughts Teeth and Fear

Bonnie | December 16, 2009

This week I am reading Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A Price. Price went searching the world for people with good teeth and bones and he found them. Further, I am struck by the fact that Price always comments on the joy and honor found in the people he studies. He comments more than [...]

Looking at Your Blind Spots

Bonnie | December 14, 2009

I’ve talked about the shadow in relationship to illness before I’d like to make another point about the shadow. We often react strongly to others who demonstrate our own shadow aspects. If you have a chronic illness and someone makes a comment that you don’t like, how are you doing that very thing? Perhaps you [...]

Life and Death

Bonnie | December 12, 2009

Kimberly Harkte posted a guest post by Harvey Ussery titled What to Tell Vegetarians Who Say Eating Meat is Immoral. Most of the arguments that vegetarians have against eating meat have to do with their own health concerns and that of the animal being eaten. There is an assumption that killing an animal is immoral. [...]

Making Enemies of Your Thoughts

Bonnie | December 9, 2009

I read this article over in the blog Healer to Healer. I think it’s important. It is the idea that when we think we must change our thoughts we actually make enemies of them and this limits us. It’s a great article and I encourage everyone to stop over there and read it. I’d also [...]

Illness and Gratitude

Bonnie | December 7, 2009

I wrote the other day about getting Shingles just before the Thanksgiving Holiday. I may not be happy to have a major illness. I hated canceling patients just before the holiday, but I have to acknowledge those things that I feel really sincerely thankful for. My husband’s doctor could get in a new patient at [...]

Butter Cookies

Bonnie | December 4, 2009

It’s easy to get into the mindset that health is about following a rigid set of rules that allows no space for pleasure. Pleasure, however can be one of the most healing things in the world. It’s important to pick your pleasures though and make sure you savor them. My mother loved to bake. That [...]
