Foundational Makeup – Know Your Temperament For Optimum Health

by

temperament post

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalm 139:13-16)

We are all one-of-a-kind, and God has a unique plan for each of us. Yet in this whirlwind of existence, we share fundamental pillars. You have probably noticed that some people have similar characteristics, personalities, weaknesses, or strengths; let’s call these similarities a foundation (of course, there are other things that make you, you).

You might know about the Indian (Ayurvedic) and Chinese (TCM) way of discovering one’s constitution or makeup; they are all similar. Greek medicine approached the basic constitutional types by recognizing 4 temperaments in the body that reflect the basic constituents of all matter: earth, air, fire, & water. (The fifth element, space, was included under earth) Each temperament is named after a certain humor and distinguished by the dominance of that humor.

Knowing your temperament can help you figure out such things as the best diet, right healing methods, disease prevention, general weaknesses & strengths; it can also help identify ‘flesh’ problems, which can help you see what areas you need to surrender to God & be cautious of. And you’ll see how God is strengthening your weaknesses for His glory. To discover your makeup, you want to take a look at such traits as your physique, features, metabolism, digestion, & certain aspects of your soul. After you analyze this information, you can combine this with our Trinity Health Workbook to get the whole picture. You might notice that you are a combination of the temperaments, which is normal; usually two temperaments dominate with one being the strongest.…More, Please!

Crystal Gazing: Mysteries Behind the Crystal Ball Through a Christian Filter

by

ball-265334_1280


Most people have seen a picture of a fortune teller gazing into a crystal ball. The client anxiously awaits for his or her fortune to be unraveled. With this practice, called crystal ball gazing (or scrying), the psychic gets into a meditative state and connects to universal or Divine energy. The person may receive impressions or insight that is supposed to be meaningful to one’s life. Gazing is also done with water, mirrors, candles, or any other shiny object.

You might be wondering: “Can they really see something, and if they do, how can they do that?”

What Might Crystal Gazers Be Seeing?

Most seers say the ball does not have magical powers. The images or symbols are seen in one’s subconscious mind, and the crystal ball is a tool to help access information. The person focuses his or her intention for the session, gets into a meditative state, concentrating on the ball and client to gain insight through the ‘third eye.’

Now, let’s consider the following possibility, which might explain how some people gather information.

Part of this might just deal with energy and quantum physics; everything is relatively energy. Your thoughts are energy that you interpret as ideas, images, and other things that you can think of. Some people might have trained themselves to channel this energy through meditation and concentration. A quartz ball might help someone do this more effectively.

On an energetic level, crystals are powerful. For one, they refract and reflect light, which is a form of energy, like thoughts, ailments, emotions, etc (mentioned above). So in a session, the aforementioned energy is refracted and reflected. Since the crystal is shaped like a circle, the energy radiates in all directions.

In the physical world, we can be affected by other people’s emotions, visually see things about them, observe their behavior, etc. But we don’t know what’s really going on, unless they tell us. During a session, the medium is in a deep, meditative state; the pineal gland (or 3rd eye) could be “activated” or “the eyelid” is now open. This could possibly allow the seer to sense things that exist outside the reality we experience with our 5 senses. The “eye” connects to the light or energy and may interpret it as symbols or images, etc. These things could relate to the client. It’s like the medium accessed a certain part of the person to see what’s going on with him or her, and the person didn’t have to audibly say anything.

Opening this door and being in this state, can open you up to something else that creeps on the earth, which is truth–not just a pondering. Many evil spirits roam the earth, and you will notice that some seers or psychics say that a spirit guide helps them, which may be living in them. Evil spirits can have an effect on the body, thoughts, & emotions (when God allows). These forces could even communicate that something will happen when you walk out the door and cause things to happen so that it seems they predicted the future, which is a trick. They could put images or symbols in the mind & provoke certain feelings. They could learn a lot about a person by getting into his or her mind and relaying that to the seer, and they could even imitate people you know; they are masters of deception and manipulation. How do I know? Because God allowed me to experience some of their power and highly-intelligent manipulation. Their power is nothing to play with–though always under God’s control. …More, Please!

Anti-Waste Movement: Revolt By Using These Health-Enhancing Fruit Scraps

by

There are many things you can do with the items you throw away, and I’ll share a few things you can do with your leftover fruit scraps. But first, let me dig up a few deep-rooted memories that helped mold me into this anti-waste proselytizer.

My “Frugal” Background

Ah, my father has given my family many stories to tell. I remember walking into my parents’ house and finding my mom laughing (uncontrollably) on the phone. She–to no surprise–was talking to a lady from the phone company, contesting a bill. My father noticed that the bill was 3 cents higher than it should be. My mother and the phone company rep were laughing about other things my dad had done to save money.

Some of those things include:

  • Celebrating 1 annual birthday (yes, 1 cake a year for all six of our birthdays)
  • Christmas gifts were usually things we already owned. Oh, and boxes were reused. Of course the tree was reused too.
  • And sometimes, gifts were just a hug or kind words, but don’t think “ahh.” He did that because he didn’t want to spend money.
  • Sometimes, a treat was a tortilla cooked in animal fat, with a sprinkle of salt.
  • He started using quarter-shaped Asian candies as quarters for candy machines because you can get hundreds of them for 2 dollars (Yes, I know that was wrong).

This does not cover all the things my dad used to do, but it should give you an idea of where I come from. I am not as cheap as my father, but his lessons have still helped me take care of my little family. I have been perfecting my dad’s resourcefulness and have discovered ways to not be wasteful.

Trash? I Think Not.

You may know that you can use a composting bin for your biodegradable trash. But before you compost your fruit scraps, you can get more use out of them.

Banana Peels

There is so much to do with a banana peel that is hard to know where to start. For one, did you know that the pulp in the banana peel can kill warts in 1 to 12 weeks? All you have to do is place a piece of the banana peel on the wart with some tape, like a natural band-aid.

The pulp of the banana peel can also be rubbed on your teeth to whiten them. The minerals in the peel, like potassium and manganese help remineralize your teeth.

You can rub the outer layer of the peel on insect bites and poison ivy to reduce inflammation and itchiness. The outer layer is also good for acne and acne prevention.
Boiling the peel can help extract lutein, which helps prevent free-radical damage to your eyes. Just drink the water as you would tea.

That same boiled banana water can also be a wonderful skin tonic, as it contains several minerals and vitamins that your body needs. Remember lutein? This will help protect your skin from sun damage (which shouldn’t happen if you are eating right). Sun damage can cause premature aging or saggy skin.

Eating the banana peel can help fight hemorrhoids, depression, and there are a host of other reasons why you should eat them. You can process (or cut up) the peels, and add them to shakes, a dip, cakes, etc.
