Hmmmm...

1. Cut coffee.
2. Commit to meditating for 10 minutes, 2x a week. I can do that much - and work up from there.
3. Actively pursue the causes behind my knee pain and heal them.
4. Do morning yoga!
5. Spend less time on my computer and more time playing outside.

Coaches: Take this survey on social networking sites

http://juliastewart.gaia.com — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:43:36 GMT

Hi - I'm taking a survey of coaches to see how they use online social
networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to attract
paying clients. The results will be included in a new course on how to get coaching clients this way.

I will share the results with anyone who takes the survey, in case
you're curious how others are using SNS to attract clients to their
coaching businesses. Just add your name and email address to the
bottom of the survey, if you want a follow-up email with the results
(leave blank if you don't).

So far, most coaches who've taken the survey are indicating that they
do rely on SNS to find clients, become known for what they do, as well
as to have fun.

Please take the survey ASAP, since we're closing it soon. Here's a
tinyurl link to the survey:

Thanks for your help!

Take great care,

Re: Instant Energy Drains

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:08:43 GMT

I'd like to learn more from you about how to do lists are energy drainers. I'm a list addict. Sometimes I get really stressed and panicky thinking about all the things I have to do or remember and if I don't write them all down I just continue to whirl through them in my head. But I've found that when I actually write out everything then I can stop thinking about it until I need to do it. I will usually make 2 or 3 different lists a day, sometimes in a timeline format of when I want each thing done by. Is this actually bad for me and I've just convinced myself it works or do to-do lists work for some people? What would be a better way to get everything out of my head without being afraid of forgetting it? Thanks :)

Hey Moses - My answer is "Yes!" and here are the details. This is a magnificent opprtunity for people to grow and develop in a way that is "natural" for 21st Century humans.

Here's a blog post on the computer "game" that has garnered "Most creative" reviews for its unique approach. I own it and it's fabulous.

Academic survey - video games and growth

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:59:22 GMT

Hello everybody,

I am doing an academic research project based on How could video games be designed to facilitate personal and spiritual development? ... Yes, you read it right! :-)

I am planning to use this research as a bridge to gradually bring this important subject to the mainstream, so we could at least start counting with more qualitative, useful and socially responsible video games in the market.

As a part of this project, I designed a 5 minute online survey and would really appreciate if you could take your time to complete it.

In gratitude for your participation, after completing this survey you will be able to participate in a sweepstakes for a 1-year subscription for 2 magazines of your choice, plus a $50 gift certificate from the GameStop store (prize updated).

Here is the link to the survey:

http://www.integraleye.com/survey

PS:

My original intention was to analyze the views of 2 groups of people:

(1) people mainly related to subjects of personal and spiritual growth, and
(2) people mainly related to video games and the technological world.|

If you happen to know a relative, friend or acquaintance belonging to the group (2) above, I would like to ask you to please FORWARD THIS MESSAGE to them... (as many people as you can!)

Let's help bring more awareness to the video game industry, and make games even better!

Thank you for your support!

Re: Raw Food as a way to heal

http://feistytiger.gaia.com — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:18:45 GMT

Hey Josh,
Great topic! I first came across raw food when I found a woman who journaled about her raw food exeperience at www.shazzie.com It really opened my eyes to the amazing changes she made. Although I'm not completely raw yet (I'm dealing with a severe case of anemia) I still incorporate sooo many ideas I got from her site! My favorite is still a raw roll I make using rice paper that's filled with the following raw ingredients: carrots, sprouted lentils, cucumbers, avocado, cilantro, ... sometimes when I need protein I also add pressed tofu (but that's not raw) anyway...I love this topic and will be following the link you provided to take a look. Thanks so much!

Melissa, just recently joined to this great group...

Re: Raw Food as a way to heal

I think the answer is just not being dogmatic about our diet. It is important to listen to what our body needs. I eat mostly raw, close to 100% most days. I do eat occasional pasture raised eggs, and occasional cooked grains and veggies.

I have found eating a near raw near vegan diet is very successful as long as I'm honest about what I need and accept that.

I tend to think that raw is realistic if you live close to the source of your foods and have foods growing in mineral rich soil. Most of our food, even organic is very nutritionally depleted.

Re: Raw Food as a way to heal

http://Sun-1.gaia.com — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 14:44:19 GMT

Hey Josh,

Good luck with your Raw Vegan experience... or is it Raw Food, including raw meat(Steak tartare) and fish (cerviche) like Carol Alt recommends in her books ?

A word to the wise here. I was a Raw Vegan for 4 years. That's 100% Raw Vegan for 4 years. I felt great and actually lost a lot of weight too... although that wasn't my actual focus. The reason why I'm writing you is that 100% Raw Vegan is probably not a good idea for an extended period of time. (80% / 20% would probably be great though, over time.)

I've known people who've gone to see Dr. Gabriel Cousins because they were in pain and actually bed ridden after being on a strict Raw Vegan diet for a few years. And Dr. Cousins analyzed one of them and proscribed a bunch of supplements and that this person had to eat a hard boiled egg, and 3 tablespoons of coco butter, every day for a while ! Why ? Because that person had close to ZERO cholesterol in their bloodstream... which is a health crisis state !

I was at the well known 'Accent on Wellness' Raw Vegan discussion group in NYC, when this fellow stood up to contribute. He said: "I wish the Raw Vegan diet could have been a sustainable reality as a 100% experience. But I sadly now accept that it was just a beautiful dream."

That was heavy !

Anyway... a world renowned nutritionist commented that the Raw Vegan diet is a form of fasting. And that kind of hit me. It kind of makes sense. AND... lord knows, most of us 1st worlders... could benefit from a bit of fasting !

In my case, being raw vegan for 4 years straight adversely impacted my teeth. I had to have a lot of dental work done. it was expensive... and... I figured that our teeth are an indication of bone health ? So what was up with that. I wondered ?

I'm still searching. What is THE answer ? Or maybe the answer is a rotating diet reality ?

Good luck with your search.

Richie

Hi everyone- Has anyone seen the trailer for "Raw For 30 Days". It's a documentary about Six people who normally eat fast food, who try going 100% raw for a month. It features doctors, experts, and raw foodists who are interviewed including Gabriel Cousens, MD, David Wolfe, and Woody Harrelson. I am new to raw foods and very interested in hearing from others who are raw foodists and people who are trying to change their lives for the better. Many people in my family have diabetes and I have changed my diet and gone raw to prevent myself from also getting diabetes.

Hexayurt Project and the American Red Cross (and Burning Man!)

http://vinay.gaia.com — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 08:13:36 GMT

Hey y'all,

Just wanted to drop by and post project status. We've had some really solid progress since winning the Working for Good prize!

First up, there's a new web site:

http://hexayurt.com/ - and it links through to the hexaurt pages on http://Appropedia.org/ which is like an "Appropriate Technology Wikipedia" if you like, and a splendid thing all round.

Secondly, there's some new technology:

http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_Mass_Evacuation - now this is important. It's a plan for doing a community-led response to events like natural disasters. If we had this plan in place before Hurricane Katerina, those people would not have had to wind up in the Superbowl. They could have stayed reasonably close to home, and New Orleans might be a lot less empty these days!

Best of all, I got a chance to present the plan to some pretty senior people (details at the link) at the American Red Cross and they think it's a good plan. Nothing in the plan is so complicated that people can't organize it for themselves - there's an opportunity for a Web 2.0 style app to coordinate disaster response, and some discussions with building supply companies - but make no mistake, this is community led.

And this is a community.

It'll take a lot of people knowing about this, being involved, communicating and thinking and writing, to make it happen.

Over to you,

Vinay

PS: Also some cool bits for Burning Man, like complete building plans, at the first link.

Re: Welcome to our new members! Let's get to know each other

http://wakingphoenix.gaia.com — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:35:10 GMT

I am most enthusiastic about connecting the mainstream public to holistic health practitioners such as life coaches and more.

Life coaching and other emotional/mental/spiritual services are an integral part of a person's overall wellness. We must help mainstreamers understand that. To do that, we have to provide the resource that will help mainstreamers understand why they must demand it.

In a nutshell, this post is offering a free six-month online directory listing complete with photo (for holistic practitioners of all modalities) and requesting your opinion/feedback on an Integrated Health website prototype (http://www.unitedhpa.org/) that will have several of the features of WebMD and more when complete. We are also offering a limited time opportunity to buy a banner ad for only $100 for six months (approx. $16/month), a price you won't find anywhere else in any media. Interested? Please read on.

Do you think there should be an integrated health answer to WebMD? So do we, and we've already begun. Although we have a wealth of talent working on this $100,000 project, it would be a mistake to not include your voice, as an integrated health practitioner, in the process. This website must serve your needs as well as consumer needs - so before we launch a finished website to the nation, we are reaching out to you and your colleagues for your feedback.

You are cordially invited to register your holistic practice in the online directory AT NO COST for six months. You may include:

your photo or logo,
your website link if you have one,
the modalities that you practice and
your contact information.
Our web developer is also working on a bio section in the directory, so you can enter your credentials, testimonials, or anything else that you would like. That bio section should be live within the month.

Simply go to our prototype, http://www.unitedhpa.org/, and scroll down slightly to sign up for our enewsletter on the left of the home page (so I can generate questions for your feedback as to the look and feel of the site and the directory. What is working, what is not working, what modalities are missing, etc.).

Then go back up the page to click the Register link near the login area, and put your practice information in the directory. You must be signed up for the enewsletter in order to be listed in the directory. None of this costs you a single penny.

The prototype of our new website is live and already getting over 100,000 hits a month since May even though the site is not yet complete. We had a 60% increase in unique site visits in June over May, so registration in the directory is going to give you additional exposure to your practice.

If you would like to have a banner ad on the website, we are offering them for as little as $100 for six months if it is in .jpg format and ONLY in response to this email. To see our normal prices and the ads already sold, please visit http://www.unitedhpa.org/store.php?pageId=2.

Our goal is to appeal to the mainstream consumer and become a strong, national integrated health resource like WebMD is for allopathic medicine. The unique database shell has been constructed to help mainstreamers drill down from a condition to their holistic options to a local service provider, something not offered by WebMD. We are in process of entering the data into that database.

This is a huge endeavor that takes huge amounts of time and money to complete - but we are already almost there. Soon the website will have video streaming for testimonials, and a private forum for practitioners to discuss and refer client condition concerns with each other nationally 24/7 - an important resource in our ever-changing field. We anticipate launching the completed site nationally by the New Year.

You don't have to pay for any of it. Simply register in the directory AND sign up for our enewsletter, so I can contact you with questions about the site on a group basis (the enewsletters are broken down by time zone).

Please forward this email to all the holistic practitioners in every modality that you know. There is room in the directory for several thousand practitioners nationwide - and it is very important to show consumers how prevalent and accessible integrated health really is, so the bigger the directory, the stronger the message that integrated health is a viable and important option for everyone.

Again, if you would like to have a banner ad on the website for as little as $100 for six months, simply drop me an email expressing your interest and we'll go from there. You cannot get an ad in any media, much less online, for that price anywhere else, and given our audience is your target, this is a wonderful opportunity and I encourage you to take it.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Be well, be wise, be ready,

Norreida
