In the western medicine world, we have lost touch with the basic concept of true healing. We substitute a band-aid for a cure and wonder why we don’t feel better. People get ill for many reasons. Each diseased state tells us that we are ignoring some part of self, and change is necessary. While many factors contribute to healing, and it happens on many levels, all require attention throughout the entire healing practice. Ignoring the body-mind (emotions and thoughts) would not provide adequate and long-term good health.
Physical symptoms like headaches, swollen glands, sneezing and colds, including more serious diseases like cancer, communicate that there is a disturbance in the emotional fabric of our being. Negative emotions like fear, doubt and worry stop the normal flow of energy. These emotions undermine us, and over the course of our lives cause unexplained and crippling diseases that end up controlling us.
The physical body falls apart because we fall apart emotionally. Recent scientific studies have shown that emotions sabotage everythingfrom simple success to kidney failure. When we don’t care for the “whole self,” the physical body simply mirrors those effects. Over the course of time, emotions like fear, anger and confusion take their toll. Repressed anger diminishes the functions of the liver. Hopelessness and despair play havoc with the gall bladder. Fear plays havoc with the kidneys, relationships and success. Confusion on the other hand, keeps whirling thoughts spinning, creating a cloud of chaos around us and we become imbalanced and ungrounded. Head colds for instance, are a direct result of emotional confusion. Long-standing negative emotional beliefs deteriorate the entire physical being. A constant string of repetitive negative words weaken and actually exhaust the physical body.
To heal we must feel. We must identify the root emotional cause of the disease. This process lays down a new foundation for good health and begins with a new attitude about being healthy. Any negative emotion causes us to stay stuck in a false perception about our self.
How do we identify negative emotions? The easiest way to identify negative patterns is to see them in family members and friends. Examine other people’s behaviors. Notice all the things you like about them and all the things you don’t like, especially the things that make you angry, envious or jealous. The people around you are actually reflections of you. What you see in another person that bothers you or angers you is a part of yourself that has not yet been loved and healed. Begin by criticizing your dearest friends. By doing this practice of looking at the faults of friends and family you get in touch with the parts of you that are out of balance and seek healing. This simple exercise offers you an opportunity to look deeply at your own emotional concerns and patterns. Once you locate personal limitation it’s time for change.
Emotional patterns are created when you place a judgment upon an experience. To change, we must stay conscious of our feelings in situations. Stay calm, make no judgmentsimply feel the energy. For example, let’s take anger because anger is one of the most profound emotions and is easily felt. Imagine yourself in an angry situation; stay completely present and deeply feel the anger. Don’t judge itsimply feel it. Now, love the feeling that anger produces. Anger can be motivation. It can be passionate. Change the negative charge that anger produces; begin to embrace and love the feeling of anger instead of repelling it.
Next begin to dialogue with the anger. Yes, that is correct, strike up a conversation with anger. Ask it questions like, “What are you teaching me?” or “Why am I so angry all the time?” Permit the answers to come into your conscious mind. As they do, you realize what the true issue is. Sometimes in that moment of realization the anger pattern can release. Other times it might take a few more conversations for the anger to release. This method allows the energy constriction caused by anger and other emotions to release. Any blocked energy begins to flow giving the physical body a chance to heal.
Even though healing begins with the emotions, the physical body must be strong enough to support the emotional body.
Supplements: Supplementation is important because food chemicals, pesticides and a hurried lifestyle play havoc on our systems. Take no more than five different supplements daily. I prefer liquids including Green-Magma and other green drinks. If you don’t feel immediate results, they are not working.
Water: Only 5% of the American population gets sufficient water each day. Diet drinks, high corn-syrup drinks and coffee do not count towards proper hydration; in fact these drinks cause gastrointestinal inflammation, kidney and liver problems and an acidic environment. To properly hydrate drink at least half of your body weight in purified water by the ounce each day. For example if you weight 150 lbs. you need 75 ounces of purified water daily. Exercise: The number one killer today is a stagnant lymph system caused by a lack of exercise. Take a walk around the block or take a yoga, chi-kung or Pilate’s class.

Can someone let me know if my history essay is good enough
?
This is the essay question: Did the liberals lay the foundation of a welfare state?
A welfare state is a social system whereby the state assumes primary responsibility for the welfare of its citizens, as in matters of health care, education, employment, and social security. It is a considered opinion that yes the liberals did lay the foundation of a welfare state, although it was also thought that they in fact only built and improved what was laid before. For example, the poor law, health act or the mines act. This essay will describe how the liberals did not lay the foundations of a welfare state but how they were a very important step to its completion.
Before the Liberals were in power, there were many acts which were trying to help the well being of the people, such as the mines act of 1842, the factory act of 1844, the public health act of 1848 and the educations act of 1870. A lot of these acts were ineffective, although further acts were pursued to build on this, for example the sanitation act built and improved on the public health act. This shows a decrease in "laissez faire" which basically means leave it alone, and an increase in state intervention.
The first act was the mines act of 1842, this prohibited the employment of females and boys below the age of 10. It also appointed inspectors to see that the provisions of the act were enforced. The Liberals then brought out reforms for employed/unemployed to help and improve this issue. This clearly shows that the Liberals did not lay the foundations to a welfare state, they only built upon what was there before.
Another act was the public health act of 1848. This was an issue that concerned people around the country. In London people such as Charles Booth analysed the level of deprivation and pressed for reform, the same was true in Northern cities such as Leeds, York and Manchester where people such as Seebohm Rowntree and Dr. Baker compiled reports on the conditions of the people. Perhaps the most famous and significant of these reports into the conditions people endured at the time was that of Edwin Chadwick. Chadwick was asked by the government to draw up a report on living conditions in Britain’s towns and cities. This official report, ‘The Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population,’ published in 1842 was of great importance in terms of forcing change. In it, Chadwick made a link between poverty, squalor and disease. This act was one of the first to challenge the notion of Laissez-Faire. Although it had its limitations. However the Liberals then pursued acts which would improve and build on the public health act which was already in place, this was a direct link to improving the act. They done this by introducing sanitation’s act which created ‘local boards of health’. This also shows how the Liberals only built on what was there before, which was the public health act.
Also there was the educations act, this stated that the country would be divided into about 2500 school districts, School Boards were to be elected by ratepayers in each district, the School Boards were to examine the provision of elementary education in their district, provided then by Voluntary Societies, and if there were not enough school places, they could build and maintain schools out of the rates and the school Boards could make their own by-laws which would allow them to charge fees or, if they wanted, to let children in free.
"Feed the body, feed the mind" – Margaret Macmillann
Margaret McMillan (1860-1931) and Rachel McMillan (1859-1917) were two sisters who fought for the education of young children to emphasise physical care and development. They campaigned and were successful in introducing free school meals under the 1906 Provision of School Meals Act and they introduced regular medical inspections for school children by opening the first clinic especially devoted to school children in 1908. Margaret Macmillan urged the Liberals to put forward these new regulations. Although these weren’t the first acts put in place to help the education of children, as the educations act of 1870 was put in place first, again, the Liberals only built upon what was laid int he first place.
In conclusion, taking all information into consideration, the Liberals id not lay the foundations of a Welfare state, as acts were already put in place to help the Welfare of the citizens, the Liberals were only improving on what was laid in the first place.
Is it good enough
? if not what could I improve on or add? please give your opinion, thanks
