BY BRIAN CLEMENT, PhD, LN For most of us, life has become a circular vacuum that we jump into becoming fully engaged in the nothingness of everything.

Accepting the unacceptable can lead to self-fulfillment. In 1969, pop psychiatrist Thomas A. Harris wrote a self-help manual titled, “I’m OK, You’re OK”. It became such a runaway bestseller that its title became a catchphrase of the ’70s. What a nice attitude. It says, “I accept myself as OK, and I accept you as OK.” Sounds …
“In our multidimensional academic understanding of the mind, many of us have lost our way. Professionals and the public alike misunderstand the importance of this powerful gift.

The permaculture ethics were developed out of extensive research on societies around the world. They're as follows: earth care, people care, and fair share.
We are living in a society where most of the adult population is insecure and functioning from a position of fear- fear of relating to others, of public speaking, of confronting an important issue, of letting go, of allowing the true self to emerge, etc. These insecurities and fears reflect in personal, family and social habits that compound the issues: food, alcohol and drug (ab)use; crime, violence and war, child abuse; physical and mental illness; environmental and economic irresponsibility; etc. as a result, it is easy to understand why today’s children are confused and why our society is searching for methods to overcome these fears.
Research is starting to show that background noise of modern life can have serious consequences on our health.

No man is an island, and there is no question that we need others in our lives to maintain vitality. In fact studies show that interaction with others is a major factor in longevity.

Did you know that morning as well as evening meditation can help you to focus better and have more energy, can help you to release old stories your chatterbox mind repeats, can help you to relax as you follow your breath, can help you to be more aware of who you truly are, and can help you to be grounded in the present moment? You don’t need to attend a class unless you want to be with other people and an instructor. This is optional. You don’t need to sit for hours in an uncomfortable position.
Morning or evening meditation can be experienced in the comfort of your home. You can sit on the floor on mats or cushions or you can sit in a chair. You can also do legs up the wall (a yoga position that helps your circulation) and meditate. You can sit outside in a natural setting as well.
You choose what works best for you.
You can start by following your breath for about 15 or 20 minutes. Gradually as you do this everyday you and your body working together in harmony will create a new habit. The monkey mind chatter will eventually be displaced ( it varies for each person) and replaced with intentional thoughts to help you with your day, your work, and your life.
Health Tips:
When you are relaxed, calm, and centered this helps you in multiple ways throughout your day and also can help to relax you when you go to sleep at night. When you are centered or grounded you don’t react to words that are spoken oftentimes in a negative hurtful manner. You surrender to action and infuse your words in positive ways.
Another way grounding/relaxation helps you is to be able to think better and realize that when another person becomes aggressive toward you it is time to leave the person/situation and just walk away and not to engage. So many fruitless arguments can be ended before they get out of hand.
Many times during a day many people react without thinking, old repetitive stories surface which can cause one to react in an unsettling manner or behavior that can hurt others. Being in the present moment, being grounded and breathing deeply helps to diffuse these unsettling behaviors. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm and let out a pleasurable sound as in Haaaaaaaaaaa. This actually works biochemically in your body by releasing oxytocin, the bonding hormone.
