Mind, Body & Soul
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008pntglobal asked:
We are the leading Mind, Body and Soul full service medical aesthetics facility with a passion for quality, service, and innovation, where a physician takes cares of Clients.
The human mind is probably the most powerful force on earth. Without it we are nothing. Combined with our body and soul it is a truly of creation. Everything that the human race has achieved has been due to one or more minds developing an idea and then making it a reality. It is our duty to use positive thinking to train our minds to overcome any perceived difficulties or hardships that we may be experiencing. Yoga and other forms of meditation allow us to free our minds and become one with the universe. It is this higher state that we all aspire to, the state of true enlightenment. Just as a child needs nurturing and feeding to grow healthy and strong, so does our mind. Our body is of little use if our mind is weak. We need to constantly pursue a healthy mind, body and soul to enable us to be a valuable part of the fabric of the universe. If you set your mind to achieving a task then you are harnessing the power of positive thinking and your goals will be within reach. This does take discipline and dedication as there are many factors that can affect the mind and potentially block the road to true enlightenment. It is essential that you remain steadfast and use the meditation techniques of yoga to maintain your mind’s focus. It is a precious commodity that needs to be given the care and attention that it deserves
This is achievable, in part, by our mind, body and soul being in harmony. However, our body is of no use to us if we are not in control of our own mind. With a disciplined mind and positive thinking we can rise above the failings of our body and reach true enlightenment. Once we have reached this state, we dispense with our bodily form and our mind remains as an integral part of our soul. It is our mind that gives us our individuality, strength, courage and determination to succeed in our endeavors. The power of positive thinking teaches us that we can do anything that we put our mind to. Our God or other higher power had bestowed the gifts of a mind, body and soul for us to use on our journey to true enlightenment. Yoga and other forms of meditation are essential in achieving and maintaining a clear mind to enable us to dedicate ourselves to continually striving to better ourselves. Our mind is essentially the driving force behind our body and soul. This is the basis of any creed or religion whether we believe that we have a God to help steer our minds along the right path or a higher power to seek guidance from when we feel unable to focus our minds. The power that combined minds can have is immense and it is our responsibility to ensure that we only use the power of our minds to good effect and not to the detriment of others. We are all part of the fabric of the universe and we can achieve anything that we want to if we focus the energies of our minds together. The majority of people are more concerned about losing control of their own mind than they are about losing a limb, or being paralyzed. One of the main worries relates to our decision making power. If we are no longer in full control of our mind then we lose all sense of reason. Many people also believe that physical problems can be overcome far easier than those associated with our minds.
The potential power that our minds have is truly awe-inspiring and we need to help it thrive through meditation and positive thinking.

What is the best of food for health,rejuvenation,spiritual life?
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008Spiritual Self Improvement and New Age Parapsychology Books - or Perhaps Mind Body Spirit!
Friday, October 10th, 2008David Gau-Ghan asked:
Many people believe that new age books are different from spiritual books, even though there are so many books available that are described as new age spiritual books. If we look at the terms new age and spiritual, we find similarities, where spiritual refers to soul or spirit and new age has been described as ‘of or relating to spiritual and consciousness raising movements’. New age books encompass health, medicine, philosophy, religion and the occult. And yet, the term new age was only coined in recent decades, mainly from the 1970’s. So that begs the question - is there such a thing as a New Age?
Many self improvement so-called new age books (and spiritual books) that have been written over these past few decades are emphatic that we are indeed in a new age spiritual era that is NEW in every aspect to what has come before. However, researching older spiritual books and philosophy books shows that humankind has passed through eras of high enlightenment before - inspirational times of metaphysical and spiritual awareness that equals or surpasses our current times. So is this perhaps not a new age as such, but simply a remembering of metaphysical, esoteric, inspirational parapsychology and spiritual powers that all of us possess but have temporarily forgotten. If this be the case, then perhaps a more apt term would be Mind Body Spirit.
Which brings us to another so-called new age term … parapsychology. New age parapsychology is the study of paranormal phenomena and the term parapsychology comes from the Greek para ‘beside, beyond’ and psychology, derived from the Greek psyche ’soul, mind’. So, here we are back to the spiritual again or, as mentioned above, Mind Body Spirit. And yet, some people still insist that spiritual books, new age books and new age parapsychology are totally separate themes. Perhaps that’s why more and more people are coining the phrase Mind Body Spirit in an attempt to mold these various terms into a more unified category.
If we look more closely at the core messages in the various spiritual books, new age books, metaphysical, esoteric, parapsychology, philosophy and even self improvement books, we often find similarities that are sometimes veiled in different terms that could all be better described as Mind Body Spirit. Yes, even philosophy books, which are essentially the belief or system of beliefs accepted as an authoritative account by a group or philosophy school, have similarities to each other and also to the more recent spiritual new age parapsychology and metaphysical esoteric books. The various philosophy books available today, which are scriptures handed down over many centuries that are the core beliefs of the world’s many religions, also have strong similarities in the original message, although the interpretation of these books over the ages has led to contrasting viewpoints.
Considering the strife that such opposing views of philosophy books over the ages has caused, perhaps this new age of parapsychology, with its metaphysical, esoteric and spiritual messages and books will help break down these old belief systems that have divided humanity for so long, particularly when unified under the more acceptable catch-phrase of Mind Body Spirit. The proliferation of self improvement books alone has brought a spiritual awareness to thousands, if not millions, who seek to grow through better knowing themselves. Old philosophy books are being rewritten in more spiritual new age terminology and marketed under various terms, not only new age and spiritual, but also metaphysical books, esoteric books, new age parapsychology, inspirational books, self improvement and even philosophy books. An increasing number of these books are being grouped, on websites and also in physical bookstores, under the Mind Body Spirit label.
The overriding influence of these books is inspirational, encouraging readers to delve deeper into themselves to discover their true spiritual nature and it is encouraging to see so many spiritual new age parapsychology (Mind Body Spirit) books coming out in increasing numbers each year. Two such books are listed on http://www.1-inspirational-quote-book.com/ although many readers place them into various categories. They are a mixture of metaphysical, spiritual, esoteric and self improvement books, even though they are based in a sci-fi theme. Above all, they are inspirational, told from the viewpoint of an extra-terrestrial race of Beings who are concerned about the direction we are taking. Regardless of the various viewpoints, they will easily fall into the more generalized Mind Body Spirit category and, overall, the feedback from readers has been fantastic, many of them describing the books as ‘inspirational and thought provoking’. As one reader wrote ”The story slowly engulfed me, drew me in until I was on my own journey. It opened my mind, enticing me to read more. I ask, is this just a novel or a key to our future…?’

Do Mormons believe the feminist movement is a threat to the spiritual health of the church?
Friday, October 10th, 2008lindsey p asked:
Elder Boyd K Packer said that he felt the feminist movement, the gay/lesbian movement, and the intellectual movement were a threat to the church. Do you agree with him? Why or why not.

I’m looking for real answers, if you’re just going to say “mormonism is a cult and they’re all going to hell” don’t bother answering
