Afraid to fly?
It hardly makes sense to look for the cheapest airline flights if you're scared to death to even get on board - kicking and screaming all the way down the runway. I have blogged about fear of flying courses in the past, but I have never before blogged about meditation.
According to the frequent flyers of Wikipedia , meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. My... Read Full Story
On Friday the 11th of July I was a guest on BBC Radio Scotland's Fred MacAulay show. This was all arranged by a friend of a friend. We had a spider phobic called Martin, a tarantula called "Rosebud" and a spider handler called Clare... you can see where this is going. Basically the challenge was could I "fix" the phobia on air in 30 minutes. The good news is I did, and the photos of Martin holding Rosebud are on my website below. The bad news is that it happened after the show in the green... Read Full Story
But I suck at getting a post written up about them. A month after I started Femara I developed bilateral plantar fasciitis as well as bilateral De Quervains tenosynovitis. Sounds fancy doesn't it. Don't be too impressed, it is otherwise known as washer womans wrist. Anyway, I had it and it was absolutely awful holding a fork, pulling up a zipper, writing with a pen or typing was excruciatingly painful. So I saw an orthopedist who gave me a splint and a cortisone injection and sent me on my... Read Full Story

In what seems to me like a previous lifetime, I once spent the majority of my working hours providing low cost counseling for “the people” of Los Angeles. By “the people,” I mean anyone who had the fortitude to continue leaving messages with agency of my employment until someone finally returned the call to schedule an intake appointment. For those not familiar with the therapist’s lingo (a.k.a. psychobabble), an “intake” is a procedure wherein it lies entirely in the hands of the counselor... Read Full Story
Every thought and emotion affects your health. A holistic health approach encompasses treating the whole person: the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Traditional cultures have known for thousands of years that these aspects are intimately connected. Every food we eat, every thought we entertain, every emotion we feel and every interaction we experience impacts overall health. Many blame their health problems on genetics, a virus, toxins in the air, and stress. While these factors can... Read Full Story

Earlier in my adult life I wrote poetry, mostly quasi-biographical stuff. I found that most of my writings were the outpouring of some event in my life. More recently, in July 2000, after being unpleasantly ousted from my position as minister of music, my doctor referred me to a psychologist, and I went through grief therapy, the loss of people I had grown so close to in my music ministry, having been the equivalent of losing loved ones to death. In both cases, the acts of pouring out my... Read Full Story
Emotions play an important part in our daily lives. Fear is one such emotion that is pre-programmed into all animals and people as an instinctual response to potential danger.
As for what is fear biologically speaking, when a person experiences fear, certain areas in their brain such as the amygdala and the hypothalamus are immediately activated and appear to control the first physical response to fear. Chemicals such as adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol are released into... Read Full Story
