I have taken the vow.
Monday, January 12, 2009
"On November 7, 2008, at 9:45 am, the 500 people attending the Alliance for a New Humanity Human Forum in Barcelona took a vow for non violence in their thoughts, speech and actions. Each person decided to ask other people in their lives to join them in taking the vow."
I have taken this vow, and if you want to help add to reaching a critical mass of people all wanting a world of peace, love and laughter, then add your vow here.
Deepak Chopra took this vow and made it public at the Human Forum. This then has developed into a global movement and the goal is to get 100 million people to make the same commitment.
I found it interesting that the vow was against violence, and not for peace. If you think about it, violence and harmony - war and peace - are two sides of the same coin. Yet the side you look at and focus on, is the side you more often see and experience.
It is important to acknowledge what we don't want in our lives and at the same time to replace it with or focus on what we do want. Our brains follow directions and if we don't give our brains an indication of what we do want, they tend to focus only on what we don't want and create more of that.
So when setting any goals or New Years Resolutions for this year, remember to word the goal in terms of what you DO WANT- that way it is more inspiring and easier for you to create in your life.
Oh, and do take the vow with me! Add your name to help reach the 100 million here on this link.
To you creating what you want this year, including world peace!

Stress and our Health
Inner Coaching is working with the Energy modality of BodyTalk to get results that are more sustainable and impact more areas of clients' lives. (This is especially with our Coaching for Excellence DELUXE Programme.) You can read more about this and why we use BodyTalk here
To introduce “The BodyTalk Practice and Training Centre” which is run by Dr Eugene Botha and Nicole Burkhardt, both qualified BodyTalk Practitioners and leaders in their field, we asked them to tell us about stress and it’s impact on our health:
Everyone of us has resigned to stress to a greater or lesser degree as our "inevitable, unwelcome companion". We accept it as the natural by-product of our daily lives in the modern world.
So what if we overreact and go into panic mode when a deadline is near?
So what if we want to ignore our marriage problems?
Everybody does it, don't they? Yes.
This is normal, isn't it? No.
We have a part in our brain the size of an almond, called the amygdala, which is responsible for our fight/flight mechanism since prehistoric times, when we had to decide whether to fight or run away from a tiger before us. At that time the amygdala was working well, and after escaping from the tiger, in the evening we could sit around the campfire and laugh about it, because the amygdala had relaxed and reset itself.
Nowadays we have other stresses, and beside fight/flight we can and often choose a third option, more damaging to our bodies, freeze, and pretend the problem does not exist.
To make matters worse, our amygdalas are so bombarded by stress that they have gone on all our lives without a chance to relax and reset, so our bodies are wearing out, like a car with both the accelerator and the brakes down at the same time.
The stress is turned inwardly, and it damages us enormously, creating new health issues and worsening the ones we have.
Headaches get stronger and more frequent.
Backaches get more painful and cripple us for days.
Heartburn happens more often . . .
HOW CAN THIS BE ADDRESSED?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: DAILY (SELF-) TREATMENT OF CORTICES.
This 2 minute technique will over time help the brain to reset the circuits and balance out the amygdala complex as well as improving the communication between the two hemispheres of the brain.
And in addition, BodyTalk sessions will address the underlying causes and related active memories and emotions.
In recent public talks, both Dr John Veiltheim and Dr Eugene Botha have shown how to self-balance the Cortices and the whole audience were taught a new slogan:
"wake up, brush your teeth, do your cortices, start your day. . ."
SO, WANT TO KNOW? If you haven't been taught yet how to Tap out your own/others Cortices, please contact us to find out when the next free public talk will be held in Johannesburg and Pretoria, or make sure to ask at your next BodyTalk appointment!
It is also explained in greater depth very clearly with great visuals in Dr John Veltheim's new book: BodyTalk Access: A new path to family and community health, launched in June 2008.
The BodyTalk Practice and Training Centre offers BodyTalk sessions, as well as training to become a BodyTalk Practitioner or to learn some of the techniques including the ‘Tapping Cortices’ to be used for self treatment ( as in Access Course).
