Radical Change- Podcast 153
Today’s podcast discusses Radical Change. Change is a part of life, yet no matter what, change happens. It is a prerequisite to life. Yet none of us does very well with change.
GMO Labeling Revisited: Podcast 150
Dr Oz Maverick continues- Podcast 149
As promised, Dr. Oz did some investigative reporting about the 10 Columbia University physicians who accused him of being a quack. All of them are firmly opposed to GMO labeling that began originally in California, and then from state to state. One, Henry Miller, used to be a key supporter for the tobacco industry and is a firm supporter of pesticides and GMO mass agricultural techniques.Dr Mehmet Oz Maverick- Podcast 148
Dr. Oz stood up to 10 physicians from Columbia University over the last few days. The doctors are accusing Dr. Oz of quackery. His response is, “You may not agree with me, but this is a democracy, the cornerstone of which is free speech.”In 1998, I wrote a letter to the New York Times which was not published. Nevertheless, the letter addressed a fourth grade science project that sought to disprove the validity of Therapeutic Touch. JAMA (Journal Of The American Medical Association) wrote it up and the New York Times responded soon after.
The article was entitled “A Child’s Paper Poses A Medical Challenge,” written in response to the JAMA article “A Close Look At Therapeutic Touch.”
When I pray for someone’s recovery, I could ask them for permission and often do, but don’t ask permission of their physician. 20 years later, these attitudes still persist. Dr. Oz is a Maverick and I have the utmost respect for him.
And I love his magazine, The Good Life. It is chock full of health tips. I’ve tried many of them, and they work! Whatever you do, buy it at your local CVS pharmacy or supermarket.
For The Trees–Podcast 146
I used to work for US forest service and had ample opportunity to be in the presence of old growth trees. They were magnificent and exuded energy that was all encompassing.
One day I came upon An old growth forest that had recently been clear-cut. It was like entering the sacred space of beings who were mourning.
We need not wait for this Love to come to us, or for us to seek out this Love. It is with us now and forever.
All of us. Not just the Christians, or Hindus or Jews. This Power is also with the people who murder, rape
and pillage.
We are all born and we all die. These two milestones are the great equalizers in this life.
The fear of death seems to cause most of the terror and unrest in the world. It causes a shut down of the major arteries leading to the Compassionate Heart.
What would life be like without this overwhelming fear of Death?
Certainly the Boston Marathon Bombs wouldn’t have been conceived. The two year anniversary is now upon us of that tragedy.
We can practice simple meditation techniques to clear out these fears and help us feel connected to all living creatures.
One of my books in The Prayer Prescription Series, 22 Keys To Self-Healing.
clears it all out. It was written with that goal in mind.
Love the Earth, your mother; Love Yourself.
Strengthening these connections will free us all forever.
Not an Ending
It’s not an ending, dear, ” she said,
“it’s just an opening you pass through.”
That’s what I heard
and what I saw, too–
like the lens of a camera opening upon
lights and colors just beyond
before closing up again like a shutter,
leaving me in my darkness,
behind closed eyes, to wonder
whether the pain would pass
or whether I should call 911.
I hate to call 911!
For one thing, it’s a hefty co-pay.
But what if I’m really sick?
Ah, no, the pain passes.
I catch my breath.
It’s just part of the healing,
I tell myself.
But I remember being there before,
seeing those lights before
through the womb-like opening
at the meridian above my brow.
Many times before.
“It’s not an ending, dear,
it’s just an opening you pass through”
When the time is right,
she might have added.
When the time is right.
Prayer For The Seasons–Podcast 142
Dear Goddess, Thank you for seeing us through another entire tax season. Perhaps the next season will be less stressful. Perhaps the process will be streamlined.Now it is time for spring cleaning and planting a garden: vegetables for food, flowers for beauty. The four seasons give great opportunity for adjustment and fine-tuning of our bodily energy systems. For instance, as energy rises from the earth in spring time, we capture the synergy into our collective heart and sing songs and dance with purifying breezes.
Summer brings with it cleansing heat to our bodies and long days with picnics and celebrations, sunbathing and sun appreciation. Pearlie likes to take her long walks in the cool of a summer morning. Those moments before the sun reaches her zenith are the only time to get things done. But Pearlie’s walks are always on the top of the list.
Autumn reminds us of endings and contemplation as the days shorten after the summer solstice. The nights grow longer. The sky brings dramatic changes of dark and light, and weather can be unpredictable. Autumn brings with it the reminder of the winter ahead.
As winter begins, the days grow ever shorter, yet weather is perfect for outdoor winter sports. Ice is a reality for us in winter. Slipping and falling on ice is a good way to die. Yak Tracks are in my future for the next cycle of the winter months.
Winter is a beautiful season. All seasons are perfectly gorgeous in their own way. We live on the Conestoga River and in Winter I can see clear down to the Lancaster County Park and clear up to the bridge that takes travelers to historic Lancaster City. As close as we are to the city, we are protected from it by wildfowl, raccoons, Red Fox, Eagles, Heron and Hawk. The barking red fox and woot of the Owl is sublime as I lie listening by an open window.
And always the return of spring time. This year it was late by at least a month. We were still slipping and sliding on ice as recently as 30 days ago. Thankfully we have a four-wheel-drive vehicle to brave the 280 foot Lane we live on. I am always pray-full when the snowstorms move in. I still have to get to home births in Amish country. Braving weather conditions strengthens me and makes me fearless. But I don’t ever look forward to facing the reality of a snowstorm in the middle of the night – the times I work.
Calling in the guardian angels is always a good idea, for every season, for every endeavor.
Om Peace Amen
Gratitude For Spiritual Philanthropy
This month is the 4 year anniversary of the Prayer Blog. The 365 day Prayer Blogging Challenge began as an experiment and turned into a multi-dimensional never-ending project.
It is frankly amazing that this journey continues.
I remember thinking that prayers are a universal language, not to be co-opted by any religion. Yet Christianity would have you believe that prayers are strictly in the domain of a belief in accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
I never knew what that meant, and still don’t. What I do know is that the Gospel of Jesus is Love. Prayer is Love. And that falls into every spiritual philosophy on the planet.
I am calling this spiritual philosophy, Spiritual Philanthropy, the Gospel of Jesus, The Gospel Of Love.
Om Peace Amen
Kate says: “I love having meaningful conversations with people about their love of life and what it means in relation to prayer and eradicating the fear of death. It makes me crazy how American society sweeps death away and no one speaks about it. This is why I’ve created the “Uprooting Our Fear Of Death: Bringing IT Out Of The Closet” webinar series, as well as “The Prayer Prescription iSeries,” and will be doing Teleseminars on these subjects in 2014.” Kate Loving Shenk, RN BSN

Quotes From The Secret DVD Part 3
76) Have only the healthiest respect for yourself.
77) For those you work with or interact with regularly — get a notebook and
write down positive aspects of each of those people.
78) Write down the things you like most about the people in (77) without
expecting them to change. Law of Attraction will not put you in the same space
together if your frequencies don’t match.
79) When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be
different in order for you to feel good.
80) You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to
control the world, your friends, your mate, your children.
81) YOU ARE the only one that creates your reality.
82) No one else can think or feel for you. It’s YOU!! ONLY YOU!!
83) Health: Thank the Universe for your own healing. LAUGH: Stress-free
happiness will keep you healthy.
84) The Immune System Will Heal Itself!
85) Parts of our bodies are replaced every day, every week, etc. — within a few
years we have a brand new body.
86) See yourself living in a new body. Be hopeful = Recovery. Be Happy =
Happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the body.
87) Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal
yourself.
88) Learn to become still. Take your attention away from what you don’t want,
and place your attention on what you wish to experience.
89) When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound, and are
clearer than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life.
90) You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are
here to create the world around you to be aligned with your highest destiny.
91) Choose the world of your own creation, and allow the world as others choose
to see it, exist as well.
92) People think that if everyone knows the power of the Law of Attraction (LOA)
there won’t be enough to go around. This is a lie that’s been ingrained in us and
creates greed.
93) The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy and
happiness to go around.
94) All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of its own
infinite nature. There’s enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for
you.
95) So, let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you
want. Get behind the good feelings of all your wants.
96) Write your script. When you see things you don’t want, don’t think about
them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that
focus on the “don’t wants”. Remove your attention from “don’t wants”. Place your
attention on your “do wants”.
97) We are masses of energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING!!
98) Don’t define yourself by your body. Define yourself by the infinite spirit that’s
connected to everything in the Universe.
99) Our bodies distract us from Source Energy. There’s only one Energy. We are
the infinite field of unfolding possibilities, called the Creative Force.
100) Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not, NOW is the time to change them.
You can begin right where you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment
and what you focus your attention on.
