			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day when I was around my early to mid twenties, I went to the hairdressers for my monthly trim. She asked me if I had heard about the car crash, that had happened over the weekend. I had not heard of any crashes and therefore she started to tell me about the horrible accident.</p>
<p>Three young men who were all aged twenty-two, were on the way for an evening in the local public house. One of the men was speeding and was unable to keep control of the car. His vehicle had then careered straight into a large tree, all three of the people in the car had died at the scene.</p>
<p>She continued that one of the men which had died, had worked in the butchers, which was only two doors away from her shop. She described the man in question, which turned out to be a person that I knew, just to say hello to. I actually saw him on most mornings and we often smiled at each other, and would say something like, hi there.</p>
<p>During that evening my mind thought about this man. Even though he was friendly, he always looked quite stressed and did not seem that happy. My guess is that he would have perhaps been more care-free and positive had he known that he did not have long to live.</p>
<p>It should not have taken this kind of tragedy to bring me to my senses, but it did. I suddenly realised that we are all terminally ill as we all will die at some point in the future. I am sorry if that is a bit morbid, but it is true. Not all of us will live until retirement age and our lives could end tomorrow.</p>
<p>I have always been a bit of a worrier; mainly about my speech I suppose as I had a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.powerstuttering.com">stuttering</a> speech impediment. I did eventually manage to gain fluency via an intensive one-to-one stuttering therapy course but even then I started to worry about business; I work for a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justvaluedoors.com">composite door company</a> and for a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.procurementgroup.co.uk">business cost reduction specialist</a> on a part time basis.</p>
<p>I now have learnt to stop stressing so much &#8211; life, I have now learnt, is just too short.</p>

Emotions are a basically a chemical reaction to whatever meanings we are feeding into the system</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><strong>&gt;&nbsp; </strong><strong><a href="http://chronicillnessandlaughter.com/laugh/forhealth.php" target="_blank">Key in to the laughter vibration for good health and vitality. Click here</a></strong></font></p>
<p> <font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">In other words, the hypothalamus gets tickled and gives you an emotional response, every time you create a meaning!</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">What basically happens is that &#8216;feel good&#8217; or &#8216;feel bad&#8217; chemical or neuropeptide bundles are stimulated to be released and these then travel to all of the cells in the body.</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img align="left" alt="key to good health" height="84" hspace="4" src="http://www.extremeelectronics.co.uk/pictures/gallery/kirilan_key.jpg" vspace="1" width="69" /></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">They act like a key which finds and locks into the cell receptors situated on the surface of every cell in our bodies. Once the key locks in, the cell changes its physical vibration and changes it to either a higher or a lower frequency.</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><strong>&gt; <a href="http://chronicillnessandlaughter.com/laugh/forhealth.php" target="_blank">Key in to the laughter vibration for good health and vitality </a></strong></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"> Neuropeptides are like food to a cell. At the same time it is the natural function of cells to split and reproduce as they feed. So as the anger or guilt or &#8217;sadness peptides&#8217;continue to bombard the cell in response to our angry, guilty or sad thoughts, more receptor cells for anger, guilt etc are produced crowding out the surface of the cell. So as a result, there is consequently less space for happiness, gratitude, love, laughter and &#8216;acceptance receptors&#8217; to grow.</span></span></font></p>
<p style="background-color: #ffcc99"><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">&gt;&gt; Free &#8216;Benefits of Laughter E-Course. Enter Your Details top right&nbsp; <em> <img src='http://www.chronicillnessandlaughter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><br /> </span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><img align="left" alt="the laws of attraction" height="220" hspace="10" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/jaishreemanish/R9O40p7JeUI/AAAAAAAAA-4/mWNjiZ2aP_Q/s400/IMG_0341.JPG" vspace="5" width="250" /></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">You can also think of the process as a pattern of energy flow, like water.</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Habits of thinking and feeling have chiselled out&nbsp; channels in the body. </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="background-color: #ffff00"></span>The energy, like water, will flow more easily into well chiselled channels and grooves, than new and more shallow ones. It will also flow around blockages, leaving the blocked areas unfed, unnurtured and more prone to disease<br /> </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Basically, as long as they are fed, your cells have the power to influence meaning, feelings and ultimately health. What you create or what you focus upon depend upon a food-oriented mechanism. They want what they are fed the most, like an addiction or a craving and will reproduce quickly to get more of the same, whatever that is, laughter <em>or</em> tears!</span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="background-color: #ffff00"><br /> </span>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">In the case of someone with depression or who is feeling stuck on the lower frequency negative emotions, isn&#8217;t it amazing to think that this is simply due to an <em>overproduction of receptor sites</em> on the cells of the body that have grown to feed on these very emotions which are keeping them there, as long as the basic diet doesn&#8217;t change. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Because they have previously been fed more sad or &#8216;angry food&#8217; than &#8216;happy food&#8217;, there are more of these specially tuned receptor sites waiting to be fed than there are happy ones. So, although you can temporarily feel really good and fired up at a seminar, it often isn&#8217;t long before you end up sliding back into the more habitual sadness or anger &#8217;staple diet&#8217; shortly afterwards.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">There&#8217;s a difference between longer term &#8216;happy peaceful&#8217; states and short bursts of &#8216;happy ecstatic&#8217;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">It can take time to build up new change.It starts with being aware of what&#8217;s happening and once you are aware you are empowered to make a change. If you understand the process this can help you to be more kind, patient and compassionate towards yourself. Like going on a new diet. New behaviours, thoughts and feelings are needed to reinforce the new perspective and become the new more nutritious cell food.</span></span></p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <a href="http://chronicillnessandlaughter.com/laugh/forhealth.php" target="_blank">Feed you cells on a new &#8216;happy food&#8217; diet&nbsp; </a></p>
<p><em>Energy needs a place to go </em></p>
<p><img align="right" alt="positive energy flow" height="190" hspace="6" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QKMMBUnfgZ4/R1BbQ_NtynI/AAAAAAAAADQ/wXtHRF7MkCY/s1600-R/energy&#43flow&#43smooth.jpg" vspace="4" width="250" /><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Every time you have an emotional response in the body there is creation of tension (like the surface tension of water turning to ice, it must expand) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Energy wants to go somewhere and it needs release. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Energy is everywhere. It is the basic stuff of the universe and like all energy, it has a charge, a tension that needs to be released. In the case of humans, energy is transmuted or changed, charged or released, by intention, focus, attention and attaching meaning to something. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Like the wave in quantum physics, the potential of the &#8216;non particular&#8217; collapses into particles, into something solid simply by observing it.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">This is the basis of the Secret, the basic Law of Attraction. We get what we focus upon the most. However this law is also a law of probability so it is well to remember that there is never a 100% guarantee that what you focus upon will happen. Just an increased probability. </span></span><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><em>Self sabotage</em> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><img align="right" alt="about law of attraction" height="182" hspace="11" src="http://www.babyphotospictures.com/thumb/new-born-baby-hospital-mom.jpg" vspace="5" width="244" /></span></span></span></p>
<p> </span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Self sabotage is a primal instinct. Did you know that every time a baby is born, <em>oxytocin</em> is released which is a chemical that forces the mother to become a </span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></span></span></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">nurturer. Nurturing is mainly achieved through touch. Touch is the first reference a baby makes for love and connection. </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">It has been discovered that if babies do not receive any physical touch in the early stages of upbringing that they often fail to thrive or survive. In fact their immune systems become compromised and they die. </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Touch activates the lymphatic system which is essential for immunity and thriving. So at this early stage a relationship develops between touch, connection, love and life itself. This meaning then gets carried over into the rest of our lives and influences us deeply. </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Love has become externalised by an Ego that is convinced that it needs love, touch and connection from the outside and is fearful that its removal would mean death. </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Self sabotage comes from the fear of death. This may even go as far as someone becoming ill in order to have a connection they feel they wouldn&#8217;t get if they were to be well. The sabotage of success, in health, career, relationships and so on is often linked to the fear that success would lead to being cut off or rejected.<br /> </span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">So a different food is needed. </span></span></span></span></font><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">
<p><a href="http://chronicillnessandlaughter.com/laugh/forhealth.php" target="_blank">Change the diet!</a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Every time you see success, in whatever area, in your own life and in the life of others, praise it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">New neural pathways will be created, brimming with new meaning, more love and more connection, especially from within, the ultimate source of nurturing and through which we thrive.</span></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Storytelling</span></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">When we attach meanings to things and to the events in and around us we are basically creating stories, Ego stories.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"> Stories affect all of the matter around us and influence our visual representations, what we see, hear and understand and ultimately the actions we take and our state of health.</span></span></p>
<p><img align="left" alt="creating abundance" height="271" hspace="10" src="http://www.guardiantrader.com/images/crystal_gratitude.jpg" vspace="4" width="240" /><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva"> Have you seen the water crystals photographed by the famous Dr Emoto who compiled the book &#8216;Hidden messages in Water&#8217;? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">They show us in a very clear and often very beautiful way just how much language and meaning can affect the subatomic world and the everpresent flow of energy. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Simply attaching the word &#8216;love&#8217; written on a piece of paper to a glass of water and left overnight, or praying over the water, produced an amazingly beautiful crystal formation, when that same water was frozen and allowed to crystallize. </span></span></p>
<p><img align="right" alt="the law of attraction plain and simple" height="178" hspace="12" src="http://www.tappingheals.com/i//emoto_water_makemesick.jpg" vspace="4" width="220" /><span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">Equally,words of anger, derision and rejection resulted in deformed, distorted, even cancerous looking crystal formations.</p>
<p> <span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva">When you remember that our bodies are composed of about 70% water it makes you think! Especially if it is someone who has been in an abusive relationship for most of their lives. Would it be time to go on a new diet?</span></span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Have you ever heard that there is a gift in adversity? One of my all time favourite quotes from a Sufi saying is:</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> &#8220;When the heart grieves over what it has lost,</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">the spirit rejoices over what it has left&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The following article talks about how illness can become the turning point for a  beautiful transformation.</span></p>
<p><!-- WSA: ad in context default not shown: too many ads --></p>
<p>Following the diagnosis of a chronic or life-threatening illness, many patients will share that the illness was a gift.  What changed for them and why?  Illness can be the portal to personal, emotional and spiritual transformation.</p>
<p>When diagnosed with a chronic or life-threatening illness transformation begin the moment the doctor gives you the news. Transformation is the cornerstone of what will become your ally as you take on the challenges associated with your illness. The choice is up to you how you use these transformative powers. We&#8217;ve all heard the person who has been diagnosed with some horrendous illness who says that it was a gift. It may be difficult to believe or understand, but it&#8217;s really punctuating the transformation process, not the illness.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.capitalautogas.com/pictures/man_question_mark.jpg" alt="health questions" hspace="12" vspace="5" width="286" height="359" align="right" />The difficult situation for many of us is that it takes some huge force of energy to shift us out of a life of complacency.</p>
<p>An illness diagnosis is certainly a catapulting event that throws you into a universe filled with questions and possibility.</p>
<p>What most don&#8217;t realize is that transformation takes focus, concentration and energy. It is an intentional activity.  Following the diagnosis it&#8217;s the choice you make about how you will take on this health challenge.</p>
<p>The process of transformation is similar to that of the pilgrims who set out on long journeys to shrines hoping for healing. These individuals are called to embark on this journey to prove their commitment to getting well.</p>
<p>At the time they embark on this journey they do so without knowing what will happen every step along the way. Following your diagnosis your choice to empower yourself and make mindful and informed judgments about care is your pilgrimage. You are called and if you choose to heed the call, you&#8217;ll experience challenges, setbacks and triumphs that will invigorate your journey to wellness.</p>
<p>One of the obstacles related to transformation is that it can often be short lived. Studies from Johns Hopkins University show that once heart disease patients pass through the stage of being critical, they begin to revert back to their old bad habits of poor nutrition and lack of exercise. The goal is to experience the transformation and fortify the new activities with a commitment and a vow to continue these changes in hopes of putting the disease behind you.</p>
<p>The areas that most people experience transformation are regarding stress, work/life balance and appreciation for family and friends. You may believe that you were scared into making these changes and at first that may have been the truth. When you are able to create a relationship with the changes is when you know transformation has taken place. It&#8217;s a shift in priorities. It&#8217;s the gift you give yourself to make better choices about how you spend your time and money. It sends a message to family and friends that you intend to be more present with them and intend on getting well to stay a part of their daily lives.</p>
<p>We hear the word transformation and feel it is mystical or magical. The truth is that when you decide to become informed about your health and your illness you have made a transformative shift. While going through treatment when you decide to leave the office on time and not take work home so you can spend time with your family; that&#8217;s a transformative action. Knowing what foods give you energy and build your immune system is a transformative experience. It&#8217;s not rocket science, but it must be a conscious decision on your part and it&#8217;s a commitment that needs to last a lifetime.</p>
