Posture guru Kathleen Porter posits that placing babies on their backs brings a significant risk of autism. They lie helpless and don’t develop the core strength required to hold up their heads. Then we encase them in little bucket strollers and car seats, their tail bones tucked, and they don’t get enough time to feel the sensations resulting from pushing against the floor and so do not learn to use their bodies in a natural way. Slumped posture results and inhibits the circulatory system such that the brain is not properly nourished.

The patient who thought of the radiation as “black and red arrows spraying his body” had a bad result while the patient who thought of the radiation as a “golden beam of energy” had a good result.

Anger and Loneliness Are both Derived from Great Expectations
March 31st, 2008 · No Comments
It occurred to me this morning that anger is a lot like loneliness.
The difference between feeling lonely and simply being alone is that when you’re lonely you have the expectation and desire of not being by yourself—you expected that you would be sharing with someone.
