Creating Balance In Your Life

Valentine’s Day Poem by Pablo Neruda

Lovely One By Pablo Neruda

Lovely one,

just as on the cool stone
of the spring, the water
opens a wide flash of foam,
so is the smile of your face,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
with delicate hands and slender feet
like a silver pony,
walking, flower of the world,
thus I see you,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
with a nest of copper entangled
on your head, a nest
the color of dark honey
where my heart burns and rests,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
your eyes are too big for your face,
your eyes are too big for the earth.

There are countries, there are rivers,
in your eyes,
my country is your eyes,
I walk through them,
they light the world
through which I walk,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
your breasts are like two loaves made
of grainy earth and golden moon,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
your waist,
my arm shaped it like a river when
it flowed a thousand years through your sweet body,
lovely one.

Lovely one,
there is nothing like your hips,
perhaps earth has
in some hidden place
the curve and the fragrance of your body,
perhaps in some place,
lovely one.

Lovely one, my lovely one,
your voice, your skin, your nails,
lovely one, my lovely one,
your being, your light, your shadow,
lovely one,
all that is mine, lovely one,
all that is mine, my dear,
when you walk or rest,
when you sing or sleep,
when you suffer or dream,
always,
when you are near or far,
always,
you are mine, my lovely one,
always.

Fill your cup with love today,

Snow Shoveling Tips For Better Health

Donna Marie Laino — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:46:05 +0000

Snow removal is fun and it can be difficult depending on the state of your health at the time. Take a look at these tips regarding snow removal for your own safety:

Health concerns

If you are asthmatic, make sure you are well controlled with your medications before shoveling. Cover your mouth/nose with your scarf to warm the cold air. That will help cut down on triggering an asthma attack.
If you are developing any pain from shoveling, STOP!
Take frequent breaks.
Shovel with neighbors just in case you have any health problem while you are outside, they can help you.
If you have a heart condition, back issues or other chronic/acute condition that shoveling may aggravate, you might consider having someone else shovel or pay someone to do the job. It is not worth the risk of jeopardizing your help or risking injury.

Snow Shoveling: How to Protect Yourself While Shoveling Snow

Donna Marie Laino — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:27:24 +0000

Shoveling snow can be a lot of fun! I remember loving it as a kid. But as an adult, it can be hard on the body, especially heavy snowfalls, record snow storms, blizzards and back to back storms. Your body may not be in the shape it used to be to shovel or you may be ill or already have an injury that you do not want to get worse.

Here are some shoveling tips that will help make the process easier:

Before Shoveling

Hydrate yourself with water. Make sure you drink a glass or two especially if you will have a lot of snow to shovel. As you sweat, you will lose water.
Eat a nutritious meal before you go outside. Include protein, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. Do not make it a full meal however right before. Leave 1-2 hours in between eating and shoveling. The body will want to focus on digesting not shoveling right after!
NO caffeine, alcohol or (more…)

Most people at this time of year have been very busy with the holidays: so much shopping, family and friend visiting, eating great food, decorating and relaxing. Perhaps you are planning your goals for the new year and even setting some resolutions. If you live in Philadelphia, perhaps you are getting ready for the Mummer’s Parade!

Sometimes we fall short of our preparation into the new year by not paying attention to the little things around us that will help balance out the energy of what is to come. Have you heard the saying, “out with the old, in with the new”? This is what we will focus on to help align yourself with “the new”.

The Nurses’ Night Before Christmas…

Donna Marie Laino — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:53:13 +0000

T’was the night before Christmas, & all thru the floor,

Lasix was given, filling foleys galore.

Stockings were worn to prevent emboli,

they came in two sizes, knee and thigh high.

The patients were nestled snug in their beds,

while visions of stool softeners danced in their heads.

We in our scrubs, and they in their gowns,

Fashions created to hide extra pounds.

When down in the ER it became such a zoo

they called with admissions for me and for you.

They’re coming, they’re going, all looking the same.

My patience for patients is starting to wane.

And now delegation seems to be the best plan,

But who can I find to empty bed pans?

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But Santa himself and 8 tiny reindeer.

He came bearing gifts from Central Supply

Saline bags, tubing, LR, and D5!

The doctors then scribbled what no one could read,

Orders on patients, to measure their pee.

The new shift arriving, our day is now through,

How did stool & emesis get in my shoe?

We give them report and pass on the facts,

and tell them of Duoderm lining the cracks.

And the nurses exclaim as they limp out of sight,

“Merry Christmas to all, and to all good night.!!!”

Swine Flu (H1N1), influenza A, is currently crossing the globe and more and more cases are being confirmed in the United States. The CDC reports the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide level of pandemic alert to Phase 6.

Phase 1-3 Predominantly animal infections; fews human infections
Phase 4 indicates human-to-human spread of the virus
Phase 5 rating indicates human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one region
Phase 6 rating indicates a global pandemic with widespread outbreaks

The current WHO phase of pandemic alert is 6.

Frequency of Organs and What Affects Them

Donna Marie Laino — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 02:36:32 +0000

Our bodies have a resonant frequency along with many other things in our universe. Music, food, sound, light, brainwaves, and germs such as viruses to name a few have frequency. Bruce Taino used a BT3 Frequency Monitor to measure frequency of the body and its organs.

Average Frequency of Body Organs	Megahertz
Ascending Colon	50-60 MHz
Descending Colon	58-63 MHz
Heart	67-70 MHz
Liver	55-60 MHz

Lungs	58-65 MHz
Pancreas	60-80 MHz
Stomach	58-65 MHz
Thymus Gland	65-68 MHz
Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands	62-68 MHz

When we choose our food, music, environment and supplements, we will have a direct impact on the frequency of our body.

Highly processed foods for example, will have more of a negative impact on the body than fresh fruits or vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables have a higher frequency thus the body benefits from not only the nutrients but also from the fact that they have a higher frequency. This in a way, is a factor in boosting the immune system to keep the body well and free from distress or dis-ease.

Low frequencies are attributed to junk food which range from 0 - 10 MHz. This is another reason to stop eating processed foods and adulterated and rancid oils. On the other hand, whole foods provide 10 - 15 MHz and dried herbs 12 - 22 MHz.

As plants are higher in frequency (10 - 22 MHz), fruit that has been pollinated can yield up to 80 MHz. This is why we should be eating more fresh fruits and vegetables (raw) and drink fresh juices.

A virus can be detected by measuring with bioengineering equipment as in the research done at Cornell University. A half a dozen viruses were detected by using a vibrating paddle oscillator by the Rob Llic and his research team who published a paper entitled, “Virus detection using nanoelectomechanical devices“. Earlier work has been done on bacteria as well according to the ScienceDaily.

According to the book, Vibrational Healing Through The Chakras, by Joy Gardener-Gordan, when cats purr, they purr consistently at a range of 25-150 Hz which is ideal for improving bone density and promoting healing.

Theraputic grade essential oils can range from 52 - 320 MHz. These oils can be diffused in the air, direct inhalation or applied to the skin and have antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, among other properties.

In Connie and Alan Higley’s book, Quick Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils, a study was done by D. Gary Young with the following results:

Item	MHz
Fresh fruit and Vegetables	Up to15 MHz
Fresh Herbs	20-27 MHz
Dry Herbs	12-22 MHz
Processed Foods/rancid oils	0 – 10 MHz
Theraputic grade Essential Oils	52-320 MHz

Frequency Reaction to Substance (coffee)

Item	26 yr Male (66 MHz)	24 yr Male(66 MHz)
Coffee (held or sipped for 3 secs)	58 MHz (held coffee)	52 MHz (sipped coffee)
Inhaled essential oils	66 MHz (within 21 secs)	None used
Returned to 66 MHz	Within 21 secs	In 3 days

Frequency Influenced by Thoughts and Prayer

Thoughts and Prayer	MHz
Negative Thoughts	Dropped12 MHz
Positive Thoughts	Added 10 MHz
Prayer	Added 15 MHz

Choose wisely!
