Not long ago, the clock struck midnight and it is now 2010 where I live. Some places have not quite reached midnight yet, but will soon.

I want to wish everyone a happy New Year. If 2009 was not a good year for you, I hope this one will be a lot better. If 2009 was a good year, I wish you continued happiness for 2010.

Sometime this year I will turn 42 years old. Therefore, I wanted to share a few thoughts about life for anyone who has the chance to read this.

Life is short! It goes by very quickly. I still view the events of twenty years ago as if they were yesterday and I have to remind myself that it really was twenty years ago.

There are many paths that people walk in life. We all live different lives and some of our lives are really, really different than the lives of others.

I remember times of stress. In fact, I count the current period of my life as one of the most stressful ever. Stress can do strange things to people. Your thought process can change. You can find yourself doing and saying things that you would not normally do.

Therefore, my first thoughts would be to remind each person reading this to take time to relax. Get rid of the stress in your life as best you can. One time, I simply let all of my thoughts go through my mind and I just kind of watched them for about 20 minutes. When I got up, I felt 200% better.

Meditation is a very good way to relax and unwind. I have tried several different kinds of meditation in my life. To this day, and in my opinion, the best one has been that of Falun Dafa. There is nothing like it.

As time moves forward, this is my message to a stressed out world: Relax! Take a break from your hard work. Try to keep positive happy thoughts. Negative thinking makes us stress that much more.

There are many problems to solve in this world. Become a great problem solver and you can accomplish much.

I wish you a happy and prosperous 2010.

It is understandable that the excitement of pregnancy keeps you busy in many ways. A simple word of caution is recommended here: This is an especially important time to look after your dental health.

Actually, some would suggest that this is the time to really pay attention to overall health and well-being. There is an old saying about the number of teeth missing being equal to the number of children a mother gives birth too.

Though certainly not one-hundred percent accurate, there may be a kernel of truth in this. The fact is that women are more likely to develop gum health problems during pregnancy. Hormones have a great role to play in this scenario.
If you are a mother-to-be, pay special attention to your oral health. Do not be content with just brushing and flossing. Consider using a a good oral irrigator.

Another excellent product to consider would be an oxygenated, ph balanced mouthwash. There are many mouthwashes on the market but very few that harness the power of oxygen with a proper pH. The importance of this should not be overlooked.
Chew xylitol gum. Xylitol has been used in Finland since WWII and they have found that the incidence of dental disease is lower as a result. Xylitol is fine for human consumption but keep it away from pets.

Make sure there is someone looking at your gums a little more frequently during pregnancy – just to make sure that problems are not creeping in. As mentioned before, the probability for developing gingivitis / gum disease increases during pregnancy. If you do not know what you are looking for, then you need someone who can help. Besides, it is not so easy for a person to examine her own mouth.
Ask your practitioner about your pocket depths and how they relate to the health of your gums and teeth. Next, learn more about this topic from the next links.

I overheard an interesting conversation the other day. The woman that was talking to another said that she believes we are all ‘connected’.

After thinking it over for a bit, a few questions came to mind.

If we are all connected then why do people feel lonely at times? One would presume that if we were all connected that it would be impossible to feel isolated or lonely.

Another thought is that if we are all connected why do we have so much trouble understanding each other?

Why do people miscommunicate so often? This doesn’t require much explanation because frankly, everyone has experienced the effect of misunderstandings in even the most basic of human communication.

Why are their wars? If we were so wonderfully connected there shouldn’t be any warfare. Any issues that come up would be rapidly solved by the innated understanding that should come from being connected.

Why is there so much diversity in our various belief systems and backgrounds. Let us face it, many cultures are almost diametrically opposed. One cultures ‘normal’ idea is another’s radical thought. This is similar to freedom fighters and terrorism. What one man calls a terrorist, another man will call a freedom fighter. This is living proof that our perceptions and beliefs are radically different from each other.

One some people call evil, others call good. How can this be? If something is bad or evil, it just is so. Why would someone else call it good?

With so many different ways of thinking, so many different believes, so many different value systems and all the variations of human thinking – how could we be all ‘connected’.

I’m not sure there is a good answer to this. All I can say is that if *I* were in charge – all of these problems would go away! Ok- Just kidding. I’m not such an egoist.

I am not sure how to answer these questions, but feel free to comment if you believe you have the answers!

The best meditation practice is Falun Dafa which can be found at FalunDafa.org

I have received very good feedback on this book. It is an excellent resource for both those attempting to fight gum disease as well as for those who wish to avoid it in the first place.

The Mayo Clinic’s website indicates their belief that up to 95% of the population will have some form of gum disease by age 65.

Consider learning what you can do now to stop an existing case from progressing or to prevent this ‘silent epidemic’ from visiting your mouth!

Even Oprah is a believer! You can heal yourself, find out why you are the way you are, why certain things motivate or scare you, and how to live this life to the fullest when you use hypnosis to venture into the Interlife.

Today, a growing curiosity has brought many individuals to explore the possibility of past lives. Dr. Georgina Cannon has regressed 1000′s of individuals who have come to her for answers about who they have been in another life.

Hypnosis can help bridge the barrier between this reality and the next and Dr. Cannon facilitates regression sessions for those who are curious to discover if they have had another life and who they might be.

These 10 Clues Can Reveal Our Past Life Identity:

1. A deep attraction to certain subjects in school?
2. A feeling as a child of being from somewhere else?
3. An attraction to certain games such as model planes, playing war, teacher, cowboys and Indians?
4. A deep attraction to a certain period of history?
5. A natural skill that came from early on in life?
6. An early awareness of pre-destined life path?
7. Unexplained fears of water, heights or other?
8. An instant affinity with someone that seemed to come out of nowhere?
9. An instant repulsion to certain cultures or people?
10. A strong pull to travel to a certain country?

For those who share a healthy dose of skepticism—a trip to view the evidence of their past lives could drastically change their current life. For some people this journey can be life-altering. Dr. Cannon does not try to prove or disprove the existence of reincarnation or the Interlife, or prove that memories can be recalled through hypnosis. Instead she asks us to examine our present lives ask ourselves: Why are we here; what is our purpose; and what can we do to make our present lives better?

Go into Past Life Regression with a “believe it or not” attitude and see if it resonates with you. See if this is the time in your life when you might want to consider taking a journey into the Interlife to find out why you are here, the purpose of this lifetime, and what you can do to make your current life richer and more fulfilling. Ultimately, this current life is the most important life—it is here and now. And why not do whatever you need to do to live it as fully as possible.

Dr. Georgina Cannon, a certified master clinical hynotherapist, is an international award-winning teacher, lecturer and Director of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre in Toronto, Ontario. In the eleven years since it’s founding, Cannon has initiated the ethical protocols and procedures for regression now followed by her students and many others in the regression field. Dr. Cannon is the author of the best-selling books Discovering the Interlife and Return Past Life Regression and You.

Dr. Cannon is recognized by many in the media as “The Source” for expert opinion in the field of hypnotherapy and issues around complementary wellness treatments, and she regularly meets with medical and wellness professionals to enhance their knowledge and awareness of hypnosis and the dynamic healing potential of soul, or past life journeys.
