Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi , Thanks for your post, especially about recommending the body rub, as I feel that it's an extremely important part of healing. Unfortunately, many people don't "see how that could help", and only give it a half-hearted try. Perhaps your encouragement will help others to discover the body rub's benefits. And for some people, like myself, who had lots of fat underneath the skin, it took a year, to begin to see the results of the "skin polishing"! I no longer have to use body lotions, and have smoother, softer skin than when I did. Now, if only it would take care of leg hair! (sorry, guys) Never underestimate the inevitability of gradualness. Dottie PS, finding the right counselor makes a huge difference....

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi Klara, i went thru the same thing until i found the right washcloth, and then i actually began to enjoy doing it instead of feeling like i was supposed to do it. If you aren't actually enjoying what you are doing it is a sign that you aren't doing it correctly.> From: Klara LeVine <klara_levine>> Subject: Re: Does anyone know this counselor?> > Date: Monday, September 8, 2008, 11:07 PM> Hi again everyone,> > Just popping in here to see what's going on.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 i did just quickly want to give the website address for SHI--it is www.strengthenhealth.org. THey have something on there called Ask SHI, so that if you have a question they can help you. i hope to go take some of their programs pn the next year or two. i try to emphasize things like the body rub precisely because i am still struggling alot with cooking and need further instruction with that even after all these years. One other thing i have found is to find some books that really inspire you and even if you can read a page or two a day it helps me keep going. Denny says to chew on your ideas the way you chew your food, very slowly. i still have my rough moments, and i still have anxiety attacks at times, but it is nothing like before.. Another thing i have found helpful, it may sound strange, i haven't even kissed anyone in the last 5 years. in our culture a kiss in regarded as a casual thing but even a kiss has a strong energetic impact. i am waiting patiently for the right partner to appear, and up until that point i will be alone, and i feel so much better about myself and in every way. Michio Kushi writes about tis is his book The Way of Life in the Age of Humanity. There is a chapter called Sexual Order, Old and New, and i have met alot of people who need to read it. After my last relationship 5 years ago, i realized i had to redefine what i found attractive and what i found sexy, and i am still working on that.> From: Klara LeVine <klara_levine>> Subject: Re: Does anyone know this counselor?> > Date: Monday, September 8, 2008, 11:07 PM> Hi again everyone,> > Just popping in here to see what's going on.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi , You are such a nice person. I truly hope that you find someone who deserves you. And in the meantime, you're certainly making good use of your time :-) I also want to encourage everyone to sign up for Denny's newsletter at the Strengthening Health Institute. Although some of the info is advertisement, there's also valuable tips for living healthier. And yes, , studying with great cooks will really increase your own skills, making cooking quicker & more enjoyable. IMO, cooking classes are never a waste of money. I smiled about what our "sexy images" are....I remember the "forwarding" email that shows the hunks from yester-year and what they look like now. UGH! So, looking at eyes full of compassion, love, & adoration toward me, is sexier than any physical beauty. Wishing everyone a day of beauty, peace, & contentment.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thank you, Dottie, for your kindness. i actually have found i enjoy being alone for the most part. it is freeing in many ways, i don't have anyone to answer to besides my children. Looking back i know that i was addicted to getting attention from men. And i really didn't like the person i was when i was part of a couple. i grew up being verbally abused, and i kept attracting that over and over. So yes, i have decided to make better use of my time. i also have twin teenage girls and i want to set the right example for them to be strong and independent, and to draw a very clear line between what is acceptable and what is not. Thanks again. Thursday, September 11, 2008, 11:21 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Wow, 2 teenagers! What an exciting challenge that is.... And what a world we live in today: with so many opportunities, with so many young people being brighter than previous generations! Of course, all of these great things can create more stress for today's parents trying to guide their children to be strong & independent. But of course, my parents & their friends thought that it was difficult raising my generation. lol Your post reminded me of a post from another group: "Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anythingelse than what happens." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , I'm glad that you're part of our group. Dottie Re: Re: Does anyone know this counselor?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 hi Dottie i am very happy to have found this group, there aren't many people to my knowledge here in DE into macrobiotics. There are some raw foodists, but i have no interest in raw food, period. i tried some things and i could never honestly say that i felt like i had a meal. How long have u been macrobiotic and who were your teachers? Thursday, September 11, 2008, 11:21 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
