Composting: Recycle, Rebuild, Renew

Our home, the earth, is being stripped of its three-foot thick skin. The 1% erosion per year of this nutrient-rich soil will eventually create a global crisis that may eclipse any other the world is currently facing.

Rebuilding our soil is essential for maintaining healthy plants. Many people think commercial fertilizers will do this, but most of them are salt-based which over time accumulates in the soil. These excessive salts eventually cause the problem that plants will either be stunted or may even die. Natures way of rebuilding soil is still the best — composting.

Today Stress Isn’t Just About Fight And Flight

The air is alive with the spray from whitecaps crashing against the black lava rocks. Looking out over the ocean you remember the snow back home then think, “Vacations are great!” Approaching the water’s edge your worries flow away with each wave rushing back to its source. Stepping upon the first rock you feel a slick slime beneath your shoe. With the next step your feet slide off the rock sending you crashing toward the beach of lava. With a loud cracking sound your arm hits the slimy rock and wedges deep in a crevice. You don’t feel anything, but you know your arm has just broken. And then, the feeling in the arm returns and you scream, as much in fear as in pain. Arm trapped, water flowing around your shoulder, you try in vain to pull free.

Magnetic Therapy: How To Use It

Part 2 of 2 | Read Part 1 of the series

There are two methods for deciding where to apply bio-magnets. The easiest is to place them over or near the injured area. The more technical method is to use the acupressure point locations within the body’s 14 electrical-energy meridians. For Magnetic Therapy to achieve maximum success you should know the exact location of an acupressure point. With over 1000 meridian points this method may best be left to the professionals. However, you can achieve pain relief and other benefits with Magnetic Therapy by using the “on the spot” method.

Magnetic Therapy: Attracts Healing, Repels Pain

Part 1 of 2 | Read Part 2 of series

Human society has been in awe of the magnetic power of lodestones since the first telling of history. The rock’s near magical powers of attraction and repulsion have incited thousands of misconceptions about their force. The Greeks thought only a soul could demonstrate such a power, thus believed lodestones contained a spirit. During the 16th century it was thought a lodestone under the bed would drive away an unfaithful wife. In the late 19th century the belief was that a lodestone charm would bring back a vagrant husband.
