mental health

Mental health and psychology are essential in life extension and leading a healthy and happy life.

The Image Makers
Before we are born, we deliberate with the highest potential of our self, the Chuluamadahey, or the Keepers of our Book of Life. This is represented in the number 18 on what is known as the Children's’ Count, a way that numbers communicate with us here on Earth. This number is also associated with the Hebrew word ‘chai’, meaning ‘alive’, ‘living’, or ‘life’, as in “L’chaim,” a toast to life. We examine the lessons we have yet to learn and design a life that will deliver us the opportunities we need to learn these lessons.

'Perform Your Dutiful Action without Attachment.'
This is posted in our office here at BambooMoves, Forest Hills. I love the conciseness of it and the message it conveys. And it makes perfect sense for it to be a mantra (phrase) for our staff, but really any business where excellent customer service is such a key component.

Moments of Quiet Reflection
In a world full of noise and frenzy, it’s to one’s advantage to have some quiet moments of reflection every now and then. It doesn’t have to be every day but five to ten minutes for a couple of times per week can really make a difference in helping you do some self-reflection. Activities like yoga, meditation, or just doing deep breathing exercises will allow your mind to quiet itself and reflect on nothing at all or to concentrate on a specific thought. Hearing your own voice and thoughts in your mind is not easy to do but it helps put your past, present, and future into a clearer perspective. It’s a real and underrated pleasure in letting your thoughts run away to new places and to still control where they go.

How To Open Your Third Eye
What is Your Third Eye? The third eye is considered by many to be the organ responsible for universal connection. It has a deep and significant history, making an appearance in cultures and religions throughout the world. The third eye can be seen in ancient depictions of art and architecture, most notably in the Ayurvedic philosophy where it is known as the Ajna chakra and Ancient Egyptian traditions where it is known as the Eye of Horus.

Menopause Mayhem!
For all the non menopausal women out there, when you hear the word 'menopause', what image does that word invoke for you? The chances are, the reality of it is entirely different!

Feeling like you are stuck in a rut? Need a change, a re-awakening? Tired of feeling drained and disconnected? I was too, so I decided to make a change.

Anti-Age Time
Does it feel like the last 10 years flew by as if it were just one year? What happened?! Literally, what actually happened?

Fear of the Unknown
Why do people sometimes have a fear of the unknown? As human beings, we each have our own unique doubts, fears, and phobias that develop as we deal with the world and its’ challenges. Whether they are fears related to heights, spiders, snakes, or even speaking in front of a large audience, it’s part of what makes us human to have fears. Facing and confronting your fears is not an easy struggle and it takes courage, compassion, and emotional maturity to get past your phobias. One of the most common fears that most of us have from time to time is ‘Fear of the Unknown.’

The Way Things Used To Be
One cannot help wonder by looking at the events that are occurring around the world today that maybe we would all wish things were back the way they used to be. Long before the Internet and smart phones we managed quite nicely with rotary telephones and remoteless TVs. We actually had to get up to change the TV channel. There were only three channels so there wasn't much debate on what channel to turn to. Not like it is today. Many of us can even remember the days before families got their first television set. Back then the radio was the family entertainment. Imagination is a wonderful experience. But, as we look around today there is too much stress, worry, and even with all those technological marvels of modern living today we really aren't connected like people were those many years ago.

Dear Stress
(Somewhere, 2014) There’s an ongoing ache down the left side of my neck, and I think to myself, Is this psychosomatic pain? Refer to YouTube and WebMD, an article or two on Livestrong about fibromyalgia. I should probably stop searching for all the things wrong with me I likely would live unaware of if I just took a nap, enjoyed several episodes of No Reservations, and shrugged off this generationally iconic dependence on Wi-Fi. I don’t have fibromyalgia, weird news is full of shit about “early onset amnesia” (really a rare variant of Alzheimer’s that occurs in young adulthood. A young bride in Australia supposedly had this condition), and my supervisor in college was right to tell me that I was full of shit when I’d muse and pace over fatal meningitis. Well, I wouldn’t have to come to work tomorrow!

Don't be Mental
What's the big deal with dreams and why is it so important we figure it out? Well, because when we dream, our brain is doing something. So, what if what it's doing is helping or hurting us? The science behind dreaming—especially the physiology and how it relates to health—is a subject we just don't know a whole lot about.

Life: for Those Who are Swimming
I already know that this post will trigger some readers if not most, but it is a subject I've been pondering on for quite a while now.
