Have you ever heard the saying “you have the power to make a difference”? Well, the following demonstrates how one person has proven this. Over 30 years ago, a young teenager by the name of Jadav “Molai” Payeng had an idea to turn a barren sandbar into a thriving oasis. With this vision in mind, he began planting seeds in this very same sandbar near his birth place of Assam, India. Soon thereafter, Payeng moved to the area in pursuit of fulfilling his dream of one day creating a forest out of land that was left for waste.
Fostering a dream
Over the next several years, Payeng spent many of his hours planting seeds, tending to the land and nurturing the growth. After 30 years of dedication, his hard work had finally been rewarded. Not only has Payeng successfully transformed an area that was once considered by many, including the forest department, to be unsuited for planting, but he actually created a 1,360 acre forest. Can you imagine that!
How it all began
The Times India recently sat down with Payeng to discover how his lifelong project had all started.
“It all started way back in 1979 when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day, after the waters had receded, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead reptiles. That was the turning point of his life.”
“The snakes died in the heat, without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless forms. It was carnage. I alerted the forest department and asked them if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested,” says Payeng, now 47.
Creating an ecosystem
Guided by instincts, and convinced by will and reason to pursue his goal, Payeng had created not only a forest, but an ecosystem covered with lush greenery which now houses several animal species, including numerous birds, deers, rhinos, tigers, and elephants. The once deserted sandbars of Assam India are now a thriving ecosystem all thanks to the selfless efforts of a young man.
The area known today as the Molai woods is an example of compassion and dedication to all living things. Jadav “Molai” Payeng is considered by many today as a hero, even by the local forestry officials.
“We’re amazed at Payeng,” says Assistant Conservator of Forests, Gunin Saikia. “He has been at it for 30 years. Had he been in any other country, he would have been made a hero.”
Our goals may not be accomplished immediately, but if we allow time to nurture our actions, they have the potential to grow, and even flourish into beautiful manifestations. Always remember that our actions, no matter how small they may appear, make a difference in the world. Never cease believing in yourself and one another

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz, and today I would like to discuss the implications of using an ionized stone such as this one, and these ionized stones they are created by myself. Every ionized stone is handled, selected, and handled by myself and they are shipped throughout the world through my website – ‘Ener-chi.com’
And these ionized stones have particular benefits that help with a number of issues, a person who wants to enhance the healing abilities, I recommend that they put one of these ionized stones right at the middle part of the spinal column. When you bend down and you find that one of the vertebrates is sticking out more than the other, I would put that ionized stone and allow it to touch that particular vertebra or two or three vertebra in that area, and when you do that, within about 40 seconds or so, it will balance all the chakras or energy centers in the body, and that will help with energizing the organs and systems in the body and will allow the energy – the chi or life force – to flow through the body more easily.
In addition to that, I recommend to attach one of these ionized stones to the electrical box or fuse box as it’s called in Europe. Use any stone that is more flat and that somehow neatly fits into that, tape it to the electric box. It doesn’t have to be in a certain area, just around that or external to the electrical box. This will prevent the harmful radiation of the electromagnetic filed in the electric system in the house in the home or office to affect the human body and diminish our own electromagnetic field.
So I found that this has helped me for the last 12 years or so ever since I came across or created these ionized stones. I have always had one stone attached to the electrical box to any or every home that I have lived in, and this allowed me to work on the computer, and I have worked many hours on the computer without ever getting tired doing so. And any kind of electric appliance or being close to an electric lamp, which can interfere with our body’s electromagnetic field, that this no longer happens when you have attached one of those stones to the electric box.
If you don’t have access to such a box you may attach one of the stones to the electric cable that supplies an electric appliance or computer or an electric lamp. Doesn’t have to be a very big stone, it can be like smaller than an inch, even this one is about two inches, so it doesn’t matter… the size… it will work. You can also put one of those in front of the computer, the computer screen, or lay it on top of the computer box wherever there is an electric device that would be suitable, but the best and most effective way would be to attach a stone to the electrical box.
Also you can ionize or activate or energize the plates that you eat in, if they are ceramic or any other natural material. You can ionize, activate, all natural material. Plastic wouldn’t work. So it could be wood, stone, ceramic, glasses that you drink from. When you allow a glass to be held against one of those ionized stones for about 40 seconds, then that glass, whenever you put water in, it will energize the water and make it beneficial for you. It will make the blood thinner more quickly and allow the food to be absorbed more readily, or beverages to be absorbed more readily.
If you are you are into detoxifying the body through using foot baths, I would put an ionized stone into the foot bath, and it will draw toxins out more quickly. It would enhance basically any healing therapy, whatever you choose to use. Some of the stones can be used for massage therapy and that will also benefit.
Many people report back to me by putting an ionized stone on a part of the body that suffers from a illness, like a person who has kidney stones or heart problems or liver problems… just putting the ionized stone over the area, ideally allowing the stone to touch the skin, then some people have reported the stone actually becomes black and dark. This doesn’t mean that the stone becomes destroyed, just that it draws the toxins out and discolors it and sometimes the color reverts back to normal.
You can never, ever, destroy an ionized stone once it has been ionized or activated, then that charge can never be reduced or diminished in any way unless you turn the stone into powder.
The stones can also be used in conjunction with the ener-chi art that I have created about 12 years ago. These are Ener-chi Art Paintings, paintings made in oil. You can find them on my website ‘Ener-chi.com’ and you can view them there, and these are stones… when you hold the stone to a particular area of the body for which there is a particular ener-chi art painting such as for the heart, so holding the stone to the heart while you are looking or viewing the ener-chi art picture for the heart then this will enhance the benefit of the ener-chi art painting.
You can also use the stones for enhancing the growth of plants. Any plant that has, like, an ionized stone close to it, ideally just put a small stone or couple of stones into the pot of the plant, and it will start growing more easily, more beautifully, and its more healthy, requires less water, so there are quite a few benefits for the plants as well.
You can also attach one of those stones to the water pipe that comes into the house and that will also activate and energize the water that you drink.
There are many other benefits that people have reported back to me. There are literally hundreds of applications. So be creative, just think of what else it can help with, and there are some more benefits explained on my website on the ionized stone page.
Ionized stones, maybe ionized, the word ionized may not be the right word. Ionization in physics means that there will be an extra electron charge, which has got ions created, which then creates a temporary unstable condition, which allows that particular atom to react with other atoms. So in this case I am not sure if this can be measured. The word ionization here relates to a higher energy where the stone is actually coming to life. Where the stone becomes conscious. Typically we refer to stones or rocks as being inert, that they don’t have any life or life force in them, but by ionizing them or activating them, through a simple process that was gifted to me after I created the ener-chi art paintings, where one of the paintings for the skeleton system was used to infuse the stones or the regular river stones or stones from the earth where these particular light rays that were contained in the painting, the skeleton system painting, and these energy rays went into the stones and created, basically brought them to life. If you hold one of those stones in the palm of your hands, you find… many people find… that there is a heartbeat to it that can actually be felt, that there is a vibration to the stone. So that it’s actually alive
So these ionized stones have become very useful for me, for a lot of other people, and once you have one, you can ionize any number of stones yourself. What you do is you simply hold one of these stones or the stone that you have received, and hold them together basically together like this for about 40 seconds, and that will allow the original stone to ionize the new stone that you may have. You can also put the original stone that you get from my website and ionize dozens of other stones as long as they touch one another, you can create any number of stones yourself.
When I travel, I usually take one of those stones with me and if I come across any rock formation, boulders, or anywhere in nature, I put them there for about 40 seconds and it will ionize these rocks and activate them, bring these rocks and boulders to life, which makes you feel quite good because they radiate back to you, it’s almost like they speak to you.
It’s not something I can prove. I usually am a very down-to-earth person. This is not something I came across, this was channeled to me, and I just followed directions and created this, and it’s basically a gift that I received and I am happy to pass it on.
Thank you.

For many years, I have been a great fan of Suzanne Somer’s incredible courage and persistence to enlighten the people about alternative methods of treating disease, especially cancer. Before publishing her New York Times bestseller “Knockout” about cancer and the many suppressed alternative treatments for cancer, she asked me if she could quote from my book Cancer Is Not a Disease – It’s a Survival Mechanism in her new book. Given how controversial my book is in the eyes of the hardliners of conventional medicine, I felt very honored and agreed to it. While this led to a an expected defamation campaign against me, Suzanne Somers took the brunt of it; the pharma-medical establishment and hired media attacked her viciously for writing her book, which has been read by millions of people. And yet again, the undeterred Suzanne Somers, single-handedly and not taking no for answer, opened up an entire new possibility for women who have been maimed by breast surgery to regain their sense of dignity and womanhood. Bravo, Suzanne! Please share with all woman who have had breast cancer surgery.

This is a great question and from Melinda, and she is asking, “How do we transform anger into useful energy?”
In truth, anger is useful energy. It is basically when we hold on to something for a long time that we haven’t expressed; we need anger in order to express it. So it’s pent up energy.
So things that we have been harboring inside of us, that we felt afraid of expressing, sharing with others, speaking up for ourselves, standing up for ourselves… which leads to frustration, and frustration, if it’s there for longer period of time, turns into anger. If the anger is not expressed, it will turn into depression.
So there is a sequence of energies, what we do with it. It’s like holding up a stream, if we hold it long enough by creating a dam and we don’t let the water flow, at least to some extent, then it will overflow and it might break the dam, and this is a sort of a more catastrophic expression which we call anger.
So, letting… having an outlet for energies, everything in life has to flow in order to be gentle and purposeful, otherwise the pent up and/or held up energy will break things and anger is sort of the more dramatic and destructive energy that will then restore the flow.
So anger is not something bad, therefore. If it happens, if it comes out, it is not for us to judge a person who is angry. If a person is angry, we should be happy that is able express his pent up energies, his emotions, that otherwise could cause severe problems to him and lead to depression. So it’s better for him to express himself and it’s for us to have the compassion to understand his pain, where he is coming from, and perhaps help him in the process of unwinding and release-ment.
The best way to deal with anger is before it happens, of course, to accept ourselves, our weaknesses, our mistakes, the things we think we have done wrong to others or to ourselves, and start instead of trying to change ourselves, to rather accept ourselves for who we are.
Everything about us is beautiful, the weaknesses, the strengths, the power, the fears, and the love that we have, and the negativity that we have. Everything is worth accepting. Not trying to change ourselves, to fix ourselves, but to accept ourselves, the way we are, and this allows ourselves to show to the rest of the world who we are.
We can show our weaknesses to the world around us, we give others the opportunity to be more lenient towards us, to see that we have a heart, that we may struggle and therefore they can, they have, you give them the permission, to develop compassion towards us and this opens their own heart. So we give them the opportunity to become happier as well, to expand their heart, to feel more free, and to see perhaps a part of themselves that they haven’t embraced as well. So it’s never a negative.
I would just suggest to embrace your fears, to look at your fears, allow them to flow and not just stagnate them, but to flow, to expand, become bigger even, imagine your fears become bigger and bigger and bigger, as big as possible, so that you stay with them rather than to reject them. Once we reject our fears, they turn into frustrations, the frustrations turn into anger and the anger turns into depression or sadness. That is very… it’s more difficult to get out of that.
So again, anger has its positives and we should see it for what it is. It’s a… we have put a lid on our emotions, we are not allowed to express them and it’s time to open up, let them flow as they may, in any direction they may go.
We don’t have to be perfect. We are here to live our lives in a way that we can perfectly well with our imperfections, and we don’t have to be perfect about anything. We can be flawed, mistaken, weak, and just by accepting those we automatically become strong, and we overcome these issues naturally without causing damage to ourselves or to our natural environment, to other

This is a question about anger and rage and how anger and rage stem from an unhealthy, clogged liver.
That is a very good one because I, over the years having helped many people, millions of people around the world, to do liver flushes and I get feedback from them. In my own case, I did have frustration and anger in me when my liver bile ducts were completely clogged up and my gallbladder was clogged up, and people who have a clogged liver or gallbladder tend to be angry and frustrated, sometimes the anger is turned into depression.
So what I found over the years is that when people cleaned out their liver and gallbladder, they find themselves to be less angry or completely without any anger once the liver is completely cleaned out. And this was my experience. After my liver was completely clean, I couldn’t find a reason to become angry about and so this was a very fascinating experience for me, and I have seen it in many, many thousands of people who also followed the same path, cleaned out their liver.
There is a saying that a person has a bilious nature, he is an angry person. That means when bile is overflowing or rather backwashing into the bloodstream and this happens when the bile ducts are clogged up, the liver is no longer able to remove toxins form the blood, noxious substances, and once they are in the blood, that itself can create irritation and anger, frustration, in the body because these emotions, they are physical messages that the body is sending us, emotions, energy… emotion and energy are always related to the body, we cannot have emotions without the physical body. So when the body is not getting enough nourishment because the liver bile ducts are clogged and nutrients are not passed to the cells in the body in sufficient quantities, then there is not enough glucose or oxygen or other nutrients made available to these cells and the cells become frustrated. They diminish some of their functions and when the functions are suppressed then the body cannot be happy, and when the body is not happy, and the opposite of happiness is anger. So we naturally become frustrated or angry when these cells are not getting enough nourishment.
Bile itself, when it moves in the wrong pathway, when it moves into the blood instead of out through the bile ducts into the small and large intestine where they help with the digestion of foods and elimination of toxins and waste matter, when the bile ducts washes into the blood even in small amounts, it creates irritation. So that is what when we refer to a bilious nature, a person who has overflowing bile, it’s just not coming out of the body, and so this is a very central part.
We also know that people who have liver issues, they are angry, very many people who have liver issues are known to be angry, and that’s why liver and anger go together.
The liver also contributes chi or life force throughout the body and this is the prana, chi, life force that the Chinese medicine refers to, or the medicine of Ayurveda, and once that diminishes again the person becomes very frustrated and he’s just running out of energy, you don’t have the enthusiasm, the joy, the happiness that you need to live your life successfully and therefore it goes into the opposite… your life becomes less successful, less joyful, less happy, and less peaceful and that automatically puts you into the category of frustration, anger, sadness, fear. all those qualities. These are emotional responses by the body that shows that the body is congested, that the liver is not functioning very well.
So I hope this gives you an idea that puts us back into the understanding that cleaning out the liver is very important.

Hi, this is a question from Simona in Italy and she is wondering if there is anything that can be done for a thyroid that has been inflamed because of constant heartburn.
I have describes how heartburn can lead to thyroid inflammation or irritation, in my book “Timeless Secrets Of Health And Rejuvenation” but I just want to stress that the best way to deal with thyroid inflammation is to go to the root cause, which in this case is heartburn, and heartburn is largely due to an inefficiency of the stomach to produce enough hydrochloric acid. Most people think that it’s because I produce too much hydrochloric acid that I have heartburn or acid reflux, but in 99% of the cases that’s not the case. It’s due to making too little hydrochloric acid.
There is a sphincter, the sphincter of the esophagus, which closes after you have eaten a meal and it closes only if there is a sufficient amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, that means when the stomach responds to that particular ingested food by secreting hydrochloric acid. If you make too little of it, then the sphincter is not closing properly and food content, stomach content, is backing up and regurgitating into the esophagus and that can even come out through the throat and you may even vomit, and so the acid is very strong, hydrochloric acid has a burning sensation, hence the word heartburn and it usually is felt in the chest area because of the burning of the esophagus.
So, the hydrochloric acid ruminants of it can also move into the throat area and inflame this area and irritate it for sometimes years, before there is a serious consequence that leads to chronic depletion of functions in the thyroid.
So I suggest that deal with avoiding foods that possibly can lead to heartburn, there are foods like meat, chicken, fish, eggs, sugar is particularly a serious factor in the generation of heartburn. Sugar is an artificial product of the food industry, refined sugar I mean, not something like coconut sugar or palm sugar, or honey, stevia, or similar products but the refined white sugar from beet, which is a, it’s a difficult process to produce that kind of sugar, and it acts as a toxin in the body and as a drug as well, it stimulates serotonin and makes it dependent on, we’re experiencing the same pleasure that the sugar – serotonin link is bringing about.
So I would suggest you deal with the root causes first. Keeping the colon clean is very important so that any undigested food lingering in the colon is taken out and there is a proper vacuum effect that is pulling out anything that is above the large intestine allowing it to move down without any serious impediments.
Also making sure that the liver bile ducts are clean so enough bile is available to digest food properly so it doesn’t stand a chance to back up and put pressure on the stomach. I have seen people brought feces up into the mouth, so there is a definite possibility that waste matter from the intestines can make their way all the way up into the mouth area which is not very good because that brings a lot of bacteria that is supposed to dwell only in the intestines and bringing them up into the sensory organs is not a good idea because that can lead to irritation and inflammation.
Then there is a whole different set of reasons why the thyroid can become irritated or dysfunctional and that is an emotional reason. I speak about things like that in my book “Lifting the Veil of Duality” which gives you a better idea of how the physical body responds very quickly to emotional trauma, pain, holding on to undigested mental experiences, emotional experiences, keeping things inside of us, not expressing them.
The thyroid is basically the gland that communicates with all the other glands; it in fact, controls all the other endocrine glands in the body and any emotional stress and not being able to say what you feel to other people can shut down the thyroid and make it prone to diminished thyroid hormone which in turn can lead to more inflammatory responses in that area, because it slows down the thyroid metabolism and that can, in fact, contribute to many other problems in the body like falling out of hair and menstrual problems, obesity, weight gain and so on.
So it’s very important that we keep our thyroid and the communication centre that it represents clean and open, and dare express what we feel, making sure that other people are not intimidating us, that we don’t let them intimidate us, but that we do stand up for ourselves and be who we are, and not try to be anyone else or pretend that we are someone else, but to truly express our feelings, emotions, our thoughts with others. Whether they can hear it or want to hear it is their business, our business is not to keep things inside of us but to express them.
I hope that you find this helpful and have a beautiful day.

My name is Andreas Moritz. I was born in Stuttgart in Germany. I never envisioned that one day I would use art as a healing instrument that would help people to recover from illnesses on all levels mind, body and spirit.
The way it started is that I went to a peace conference in Israel. I lived in Cyprus at that time in the Mediterranean and a good, close friend of mine who then became my life partner and wife, Lillian, she came to the same peace conference and she said “You have to start something, it’s called the New Medicine, I don’t know what it is, but you have to start that, and it would involve painting.” I said “I’ve never painted before except walls in my home”, and so she said “No, you have to do that”, and I knew what kind of paintings I needed to produce for which body parts because each of the ener-chi art paintings responds to a particular part of the body – like the heart, the lungs, the spleen, the brain, the kidneys. Showing people the painting for about thirty seconds, they would have a shift in their ener-chi or what we call the ‘chi’ – the life force – that they would have suddenly a healing response that they did not, would not, have had the chance to have unless they would look at the painting.
The inspiration comes basically form nature. To see the perfection the nature displays, that there is something in nature that has a very, very profound effect on us, something that inspires a healing response in the body.
Most people who choose my art work they know me because I am a well-known writer. I have written seven books on medicine, natural medicine and healing and so, all over the world people are contacting me to get this healing art as a healing instrument.
The most famous place ever it was shown was a hospital in Minneapolis, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, which is one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country actually ,and a lot of doctors and chiropractors, they have the paintings, my paintings in their foyer and their reception room.
Listen to your heart. We are not just physical beings, we have energy in us, we have emotions in us, we have the spirit in us, we have a soul, and so all those different levels need healing. So if the art speaks to you get it; if it doesn’t, you will find something else that is suitable for you.

A Canadian judge has ruled that a teenage boy murdered his friend because of the effects of Prozac.
The ruling will not be appealed.
The decision has revived the debate regarding the widespread prescription of antidepressants to young people.
Justice Robert Heinrichs ruled that the 15-year-old boy was under the influence of the medication when he stabbed and killed a close friend.
He was sentenced to 10 months on top of the two years he had already spent in jail.
“Prozac is meant to curb the effects of depression, but Justice Heinrich concluded it set off a steady deterioration in the young murderer’s behavior,” CCHR reports.
“He had become irritable, restless, agitated, aggressive and unclear in his thinking,” the judge said.
“It was while in that state he overreacted in an impulsive, explosive and violent way. Now that his body and mind are free and clear of any effects of Prozac, he is simply not the same youth in behavior or character.”
Should Antidepressants Carry Black Box Warning for Homicidal Tendencies?
In 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided SSRI antidepressants must carry a black box warning that the drug can cause suicidal tendencies. But what about violence and homicidal tendencies? Despite mounting evidence that antidepressants and certain other drugs can induce violent behavior and has led to the tragic death of spouses, family members and friends, the FDA has done nothing to warn or curb the use of such drugs.
According to CCHR:
“It is well documented that psychiatric drugs, particularly antidepressants, can cause a host of violent side effects including mania, psychosis, aggression, violence, and in the case of the antidepressant Effexor, homicidal ideation … [P]eople with no prior history of violence (or suicide) became homicidal and suicidal under the influence of antidepressants. … However, despite all the documented violence-inducing side effects of these drugs, the FDA has never issued black box warnings on antidepressants causing violence or homicide despite the fact that at least 11 recent school shootings were committed by kids documented to be on or in withdrawal from psychiatric drugs.”
The expert testimony in this case was supplied by Dr. Peter Breggin, an outspoken critic of psychiatric drugs. The featured article quotes him as saying:
“These drugs produce a stimulant or activation continuum… That continuum includes aggression, hostility, loss of impulse control … all of which are a prescription for violence.”
Other still feel the link between antidepressants and homicide is thin, but I can’t help but wonder if that’s just because they’re refusing tolook at the evidence and give it the attention it deserves. The CCHR website includes a helpful search feature, allowing you to search for all sorts of reports and research relating to psychiatric drugs and their side effects. It took 13 years before the FDA finally agreed SSRI’s can cause suicidal thoughts and behavior. How many decades-worth of evidence will have to mount up before the apparent link to uncontrolled violence and homicide is addressed?
Your Genes May Predispose You to Homicidal Side Effects of Antidepressants
Interestingly, in related news, a 2011 study published in Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine has found that certain genes may predispose you to homicidal behavior following exposure to antidepressants. Both sudden withdrawal from antidepressants and continuing to take them was found to worsen the problem. According to the study’s authors:
“… The results presented here concerning a sample of persons given antidepressants for psychosocial distress demonstrate the extent to which the psychopharmacology industry has expanded its influence beyond its ability to cure.
… [T]he Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (Star *D) study … found that antidepressants were only marginally (2.7%) more efficacious compared with placebos. The same meta-analyses documented profound publication bias, inflating their apparent efficacy as well as bias in failing to report the negative results … The authors argue for a reappraisal of the current recommended standard of care of depression.” [Emphasis mine]
What they discovered is that many people being treated with antidepressants can’t metabolize them due to common genetic mutations, which can cause severe drug interactions and akathisia (a movement disorder characterized by a feeling of inner restlessness). Some researchers and physicians believe that akathisia is the chief symptom that triggers impulsive violence in certain individuals who take antidepressant drugs. This is thought to be an extreme form of akathisia. Homicidal impulses and murderous behavior due to akathisia is now being called “homicidal akathisia.”
Forensic psychiatrist and lead author of the study, Dr. Yolande Lucire, is now campaigning to introduce ways of minimizing over-prescription of antidepressants by taking genetics into account. Of 129 subjects, more than 120 of them were diagnosed with akathisia/serotonin toxicity caused by psychiatric medications. The authors further explain:
“They were tested for variant alleles in CYP450 genes, which play a major role in Phase 1 metabolism of all antidepressant and many other medications. Eight had committed homicide and many more became extremely violent while on antidepressants. … All those described [in the paper] were able to stop taking antidepressants and return to their previously normal personalities.”
Antidepressants Top List of Most Violence-Inducing Drugs
It’s certainly worth paying heed to drug interactions such as violence and homicidal leanings, both as a patient and as a concerned parent, family member or friend. According to a 2010 study published in the journal PLoS One, half of the top 10 drugs disproportionately linked with violent behavior are antidepressants:
Varenicline (Chantix): The number one violence-inducing drug on the list, this anti-smoking medication is 18 times more likely to be linked with violence when compared to other drugs
Fluoxetine (Prozac): This drug was the first well-known SSRI antidepressant
Paroxetine (Paxil): Another SSRI antidepressant, Paxil is also linked with severe withdrawal symptoms and a risk of birth defects
Amphetamines: (Various): Used to treat ADHD
Mefoquine (Lariam): A treatment for malaria which is often linked with reports of strange behavior
Atomoxetine (Strattera): An ADHD drug that affects the neurotransmitter noradrenaline
Triazolam (Halcion): This potentially addictive drug is used to treat insomnia
Fluvoxamine (Luvox): Another SSRI antidepressant
Venlafaxine (Effexor): An antidepressant also used to treat anxiety disorders
Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq): An antidepressant which affects both serotonin and noradrenaline
Is Usage of these Drugs Ever Appropriate?
Depression, or more accurately, un-repaired emotional short-circuiting, can absolutely devastate your health and life. However, using antidepressants as the primary (or only) treatment option is simply not advisable, especially if the one suffering from depression is a child or teenager. Whereas severe depression can indeed progress to suicide if left untreated, antidepressant drugs have been shown to CAUSE both suicidal and homicidal thoughts and behaviors. As mentioned in the featured report, at least 11 tragic school shootings were done by children who were either on antidepressants, or going through withdrawal…
I believe this is an enormous price to pay for what amounts to highly questionable benefits.
Studies have found that up to 75 percent of the benefits of antidepressants could be duplicated by a placebo. So not only do these drugs not work as advertised, but the evidence is quite clear that most of these drugs do in fact increase your risk of suicide and violence. Since depression can be a terminal illness, why take a drug that will actually increase your risk of killing yourself—or someone else?
Please understand that I am not seeking to diminish the impact of mental illness. It is massively pervasive and responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year and needless suffering in millions of others.
My clinical experience leads me to believe that the only appropriate use of these dangerous medications is as a last ditch effort when the patient is at a serious risk to themselves or others. (And, of course, they must be closely monitored for lethal side effects such as suicidal and/or homicidal thoughts and tendencies!) The drugs should be continued until the condition is under control and they are out of harm’s way, and then carefully weaned. This is a very similar strategy to going to the ER and seeing an orthopedic surgeon for a cast when you’ve fractured a major bone.
You don’t use that cast the rest of your life. You use it until your bone is healed.
The REAL tragedy is that most of the drug companies do NOT view antidepressants this way. There are enormous marketing efforts to classify normal behavior as aberrant or diseased, which then requires lifelong therapy with their drug solution.
How to Address the Root Cause of the Problem
I strongly believe that energy psychology is one of the most powerful tools for resolving emotional issues—specifically a technique called EFT—and I’ll be talking more about that in a moment.
But diet and general lifestyle are clearly parts of the “root” that must be healed if you want to resolve mental health issues. For example, mounting evidence tells us that having a healthy gut is profoundly important for both physical and mental health, and the latter can be severely impacted by an imbalance of intestinal bacteria. I strongly recommend addressing the following lifestyle factors if you’re suffering from depression or any other mental health problem.
Dramatically decrease your consumption of sugar (particularly fructose), grains, and processed foods. (In addition to being high in sugar and grains, processed foods also contain a variety of additives that can affect your brain function and mental state, especially MSG, and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.) There’s a great book on this subject, The Sugar Blues, written by William Dufty more than 30 years ago, that delves into the topic of sugar and mental health in great detail.
Increase consumption of probiotic foods, such as fermented vegetables and kefir, to promote healthy gut flora
Get adequate vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency can contribute to depression and affects one in four people.
Optimize your vitamin D levels, ideally through regular sun exposure. Vitamin D is very important for your mood. In one study, people with the lowest levels of vitamin D were found to be 11 times more prone to be depressed than those who had normal levels.
The best way to get vitamin D is through safe exposure to SUNSHINE. Remember, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a type of depression that we know is related to sunshine deficiency, so it would make sense that the perfect way to optimize your vitamin D is through sun exposure, or a safe tanning bed if you don’t have regular access to the sun.
Get plenty of animal-based omega-3 fats. Many people don’t realize that their brain is 60 percent fat, but not just any fat. It is DHA, an animal based omega-3 fat which, along with EPA, is crucial for good brain function and mental health7. Unfortunately, most people don’t get enough from diet alone. Make sure you take a high-quality omega-3 fat, such as krill oil.
Dr. Stoll, a Harvard psychiatrist, was one of the early leaders in compiling the evidence supporting the use of animal based omega-3 fats for the treatment of depression. He wrote an excellent book that details his experience in this area called The Omega-3 Connection.
Evaluate your salt intake. Sodium deficiency actually creates symptoms that are very much like those of depression. Make sure you do NOT use processed salt (regular table salt), however. You’ll want to use an all natural, unprocessed salt like Himalayan salt, which contains more than 80 different micronutrients.
Get adequate daily exercise, which is one of the best-kept secrets to preventing and overcoming depression.
Get adequate amounts of sleep. You can have the best diet and exercise program possible but if you aren’t sleeping well you can easily become depressed. Sleep and depression are so intimately linked that a sleep disorder is actually part of the definition of the symptom complex that gives the label depression.
New Research Shines Light on the Benefits of EFT
Additionally, it’s imperative to address any underlying emotional issues. I have been a fan of energy psychology for many years, having witnessed its effectiveness in my medical practice and in my own personal life. EFT, as opposed to drugs and supplements, hits at the root of the problem—even if you don’t know exactly what that is. This is the beauty of energy medicine in general—and anyone can learn to apply EFT to themselves, even a young child.
In the following videos, Julie Schiffman, a licensed EFT practitioner at my Center for Natural Health in Chicago, guides you through how to tap for headaches and other pain. As you will see, by simply altering your statements you can use this tapping technique to address virtually any ailment you may be experiencing at any point in time.
Unfortunately, studies have been few and far in-between as science has been trying to “catch up” with clinical experience. But all of that is changing now!
Before I go any further, I want to stress the importance of getting professional help if you suffer from depression, and that includes seeing a qualified EFT therapist. Although you can learn how to do EFT in a few minutes it can take years to apply it effectively. The best therapists are typically those with conventional psychological training who have studied this in addition to conventional methods. There are times where hospital admission may be necessary to prevent a suicide attempt and untrained therapists will not be able to discern this danger.
If the first therapist can’t help you, I recommend seeking out another. Getting a second opinion is pretty standard when it comes to medicine, and this is no different. The connection between you and your doctor or therapist can have a great influence on the success of your treatment or therapy.
As for the success rate of EFT, several studies have recently been published, demonstrating just how safe and effective EFT really is. For example, the following three studies show remarkable progress in a very short amount of time for people with a history of trauma:
A 2009 study of 16 institutionalized adolescent boys with histories of physical or psychological abuse showed substantially decreased intensity of traumatic memories after just ONE session of EFT.
An EFT study involving 30 moderately to severely depressed college students was conducted. The depressed students were given four 90-minute EFT sessions. Students who received EFT showed significantly less depression than the control group when evaluated three weeks later.
A study of 100 veterans with severe PTSD (Iraq Vets Stress Project) showed an astounding reduction of symptoms after just six one-hour EFT sessions. After completing six sessions, 90 percent of the veterans had such a reduction in symptoms that they no longer met the clinical criteria for PTSD. Sixty percent no longer met PTSD criteria after only three EFT sessions. At the three-month follow-up, the gains remained stable, suggesting lasting and potentially permanent resolution of the problem.
[The Iraq Stress Project is still recruiting veteran volunteers. If you are a veteran and interested in participating, you can get more information here.]
Operation Emotional Freedom
In a new documentary film entitled Operation: Emotional Freedom, directed by Eric Huurre, a number of Veterans and their families went through intensive therapy using EFT. The results were truly astounding. EFT developer Gary Craig, along with other EFT practitioners worked very closely with Veterans who recently returned home from war. They were all suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety and a few were suicidal.
At the end of treatment, each one of them describes a new feeling of peace and hope that there is help and they were able to overcome emotional traumas experienced in combat.
This film is a close look at the current state of health care for combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD. The film is about examining the myths and misconceptions surrounding the medical/chemical approach to treating emotional conditions and why drugs are not “the answer” that pharmaceuticals promise. Instead, the story follows this group of volunteer Vets and their families on a journey from the hell of their post-war experiences through a newer vision of health and recovery for PTSD and trauma.
Visit the official website www.operation-emotionalfreedom.com to learn more about efforts to assist veterans and their families through energy psychology.
Clearly, energy psychology beats pharmaceuticals HANDS DOWN as a safer, more effective, longer-lasting treatment for stress and emotional problems. And there have been EFT successes with a wide range of other issues—both emotional and physical. EFT is easy to learn, no matter what your age—children included—so I encourage you to add it to your stress-busting tool kit.
In closing, please remember that your emotional health is intimately connected with your physical health, which is largely controlled by diet and lifestyle choices and your reactions to stress. These daily habits have enormous impact, whether you want to overcome depression or just continue enjoying great health. So please, actively investigate and consider the natural treatments I’ve suggested above, ideally with the support and guidance of a knowledgeable natural medicine friendly healthcare practitioner.
Important Concluding Thoughts…
I want to make something abundantly clear before I leave you. I know firsthand that depression is devastating. It takes a toll on the healthiest of families and can destroy lifelong friendships. Few things are harder in life than watching someone you love lose their sense of joy, hope, and purpose in life, and wonder if they will ever find it again. And to not have anything within your power that can change things for them. You wonder if you will ever have your loved one “back” again.
It’s impossible to impart the will to live to somebody who no longer possesses it. No amount of logic, reasoning, or reminders about all they have to live for will put a smile back on the face of a loved one masked by the black cloud of depression.
Oftentimes you cannot change your circumstances. You can, however, change your response to them. I encourage you to be balanced in your life. Don’t ignore your body’s warning signs that something needs to change. Sometimes people are so busy taking care of everybody else that they lose sight of themselves.
There are times when a prescription drug may help restore balance to your body. But it’s unclear whether it is the drug providing benefits, or the unbelievable power of your mind that is convinced it is going to work.
If you have been personally affected by depression, my heart goes out to you.
A broken body can be easier to fix than a broken mind. Depression is real. It is my hope that you don’t feel judged here, but that you are encouraged and inspired by those who have been there.

Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Ladies and gentlemen, it brings me great joy to introduce tonight soul felt spirituality and wellness series featured speaker Andreas Moritz, known by some as an integrated medicine man, by others as an internationally recognized healing painter, and intuitive author. As a practitioner of Ayurveda, Andreas specializes in detecting the root causes of disease and how to address them without creating harmful side effects. Andreas joins us to help teach helpful secrets to the underlying purpose of disease, and before I get into the full introduction, Andreas, are you with us?
Andreas Moritz: I’m all here, Michelle, thank you…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Oh excellent, excellent, Andreas you were born in Germany, and as a child you dealt with several severe illnesses including a heart condition in which doctors gave you just one year to live. This was just one of three near death experiences, which has taught you so much about disease and about death, and has been the driving force behind your study of diet, nutrition, and so many other methods of natural healing which began from an early age on for you. To this day, you have never been vaccinated against any disease because your mother, a naturalist, stood up to school officials and mainstream doctors, knowing intuitively it was best not to subject you to mainstream inoculations. By your 20th birthday you completed training in both iridology, the diagnostic science of the eye for bodily health and dietetics, the science of diet and nutrition, and then began studying Ayurvedic medicine in India. You finished your training as a qualified practitioner of Ayurveda in New Zealand in 1991. Rather than be satisfied with merely treating the symptoms of illness this is where your mission came in, Andreas, and you’ve dedicated your life work to understanding and treating the root cause of all illness. As the author of “Timeless Secrets Of Health And Rejuvenation”, “The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush”, “Cancer Is Not A Disease, It’s A Survival Mechanism”, “Lifting The Veil Of Duality” and numerous other books, you have traveled extensively throughout the world and have consulted with heads of state and members of government in Europe, Asia and Africa and you’ve lectured widely on the subjects of health, mind-body medicine, and spirituality, assisting others to take responsibility for their own health and well being. Your many channeled messages are embedded with healing codes that offer a transformative experience such as your books that contain codes between the lines, and your ener-chi art that is imbued with light encoded energies. Listeners tonight will also get the rare opportunities to experience your higher vibrational chanting produced in Sacred Sanctémony, a whole brain use of ancient language used to calm the storms of unrest, violence and turmoil, both internal and external through us by bringing forth physical manifestations and feelings of peace and harmony. Andreas, my friend, welcome to the soul felt spirituality and wellness series, I feel so honored to have with us tonight.
Andreas Moritz: Thank you Michelle, yeah and I would love to have a copy of that introduction, I really don’t have a good one…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: I would love to give it you…
Andreas Moritz: Thank you, it’s wonderful to be here and it just feels so many souls moving in here, I’m so connected with everyone that it’s just a joy, a bubble of joy.
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Oh absolutely it just feels that way to me too, and we spoke of that as people were joining tonight, and we could just see the whole entire conference is just filling up with so many beautiful spirits, and as you know Andreas, you’ve agreed to be part of this Sacred Seven, it’s so appreciated and so valued and we’ve created the space for you to help us understand if you could share more about your path of conscious awakening, what opened you up to so many new things and what brought you on the path that you are today?
Andreas Moritz: I was just thinking about that and the first thing that came to mind is that when I was six years old, I almost jumped into my bed head long into a piece of iron and it pierced into my head and I was bleeding profusely and I just remember seeing, I was not unconscious, but I saw I was lying in a pool of blood and my father couldn’t, you know, watch that, he came and he fainted, my mother was the only one that immediately took me to the doctor, and they stitched me up, and nothing serious seemed to have happened but as I grew older from age 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 up to 12, my health deteriorated seriously and I developed a heart condition, I had low blood pressure, I fainted like every three four weeks, and typically that happened, I was raised as a Catholic and it happened during the church mass, believe it or not, in front of hundreds or sometimes a thousand or two thousand people, and I would literally collapse, I would be out for five minutes or six minutes and I would find myself lying outside the church and hearing the chorus singing, and I was terrified of going to church, so eventually I told my parents I want to go in the evening, but I never went, I pretended I was… and so at that time I had certain realizations that I’ve done this thing before, that I’d literally lost consciousness during torture and being tortured and being persecuted and prosecuted in other lifetimes by church people, and so this was a very vivid sort of recollection as I kept facing death again and again, because the way I went unconscious was that something filled up within me, I started seeing black color and just everything went black, and then I was gone, and I usually went with a scream, I literally screamed before I went unconscious, and so this was like the beginning of a sort of down spiraling that led me to a point where I could not live without help, doctors tried to fix me up but eventually nothing would work, and I had arrhythmia, a very dangerous form of arrhythmia and that could have killed me any time. So my heart wasn’t working very well and then I had rheumatoid arthritis, many times I could not even eat, feed myself, and I had to have my parents do that for me, and I had severe anemia, my face used to be as white as snow, so if you compare my face with snow then you would be right on. The pain in my body was so severe, my digestive system didn’t work at all. I had swelling in my body and when I woke up in the morning, it took me about an hour to get going and to even open my eyes, because my eyes were paralyzed for the first hour when I was awake, I literally could not open them, and they were like lead, and so you think when you are little child, a young child, what is wrong with me, why doesn’t anyone else suffer like that, and where is this all going? Do I have to live like that for the rest of my life? You’re looking for miracles and the catholic church couldn’t give me a miracle, so they made me faint, I thought, at church so I started thinking and I came to a sort of a crossroads in my life where instead of waiting for help from the outside, I decided that I will have to figure this out myself and so I began to experiment, I tried every diet and lifestyle I could think of, anything that I’d learned from my mother who was into natural medicine and my uncle who was a leading iridologist and naturopath and medical doctor in those days and they had taught me to try things out and figure it out, and so I did that and finally I came to a conclusion that the food that I was eating was poisoning me, and so I started discovering that I should avoid protein foods of any kind and even though the doctors that have treated me said ‘you have to eat protein to stay strong because you are very weak’ and so I disregarded their advice and became a vegan vegetarian. The only thing from an animal I was eating was butter and after about six weeks my arthritis disappeared, my heart condition improved and I still fainted, though, and so I still had these attacks whenever I went near a church or sometimes even standing in line in a post office, that would get me down on the floor, and so what happened is that I then learned to meditate, I somehow was drawn… I heard that meditation can have benefits for the blood pressure, I had such low blood pressure, it could regulate the blood pressure, it could do a lot of other things and as soon as I started meditating I learned Transcendental Meditation… for those who don’t know it, it’s the meditation that the Beatles learned from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who later on I stayed with for a couple of years, had a very close contact with him, and I meditated morning and evening 20 minutes and that stopped me from having my fainting spells. So I thought, am I on to something? Am I stepping into a greater sense of freedom where I didn’t feel that I had to struggle as much but I could start enjoying my life a little more, and then by age 17 as I was sort of coming out of that darkness of my soul, so to speak, my father became very ill and he started dying and so he had the first death experience that caused him to die for several minutes and then they revived him and brought him back. So again I had to see death through my father’s experience. He taught me though that dying is fun…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: It’s fun?
Andreas Moritz: The thought of that, that dying could be fun, because he described it to me and he said it was the most beautiful experience he could ever, ever imagine, he was a very religious man, and so he was very deeply rooted in the catholic church, and he was very active in that church, and he was one of the most eminent well known architects in Germany, (and incidentally he built the church I used to faint in) and so he built hundreds of churches throughout Germany and eventually I disliked his church so much because that’s where I fainted, that I couldn’t stand it anymore and never set foot in it again and at that time when he became sick, and he died another time, a second time, and again he came back and described his beautiful experience of expansion, of being totally free, being incredibly one with every person he had disliked before, and felt that sort of… that sense of forgiveness for the things they had done to him, he was very seriously injured during the war time, he was in cast for one year, his entire body was just in cast, he was lying there motionless for one year after he had fragments of some bomb, a grenade that exploded next to him and his back, and so he already had his own sort of set of experiences. Now when he died the third time, I was happy, we were all very happy, my mother, my brother and I. We couldn’t be sad for him because we knew what a beautiful transition he must have made.
My life had started to become spiritual at that point because I could no longer deny that life has a deeper meaning and purpose, that even if death can be beautiful, then there must be a purpose and meaning behind other things that we deem to be negative and without a purpose, and so from then onward I started looking at the negative events in life, in my own life, the diseases and the limitations that I had in my physical body, as a purposeful reason to open me up to some other unknown parts of myself that I couldn’t fathom otherwise, and so it deepened the roots to my own self, my inner strength that started to emerge where I didn’t rely on circumstances, on what other people provided me with, but on my own inner knowledge or what you can call wisdom, rather than sort of copying something that other people had told me and following their advice.
So my spiritual journey became more and more inward, as I progressed to meditate more deeply, at times I was meditating literally 5-6 hours a day, got up very early in the morning, meditated for three hours and retired early in the afternoon at five o’ clock and meditated another 2-3 hours and slept very little during the night I didn’t feel very much tired, so spirituality became sort of my main focus but at the same time I wanted to also expand on knowing how that relates to the physicality of our existence, why do we have a physical body? It is not just to drag it along and suffer through life, but to actually use the physical body as a tool, as a means, to further our evolvement, our spiritual evolvement in this life, so that was sort of the beginning of my life’s journey if you will…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Wow, I have so many questions, I guess the first one is, you talk about death and dying and I’ve heard you say that death and dying is one of the most beautiful and uplifting experiences, and it’s good to prepare ourselves for, you say. What is the best way to do that?
Andreas Moritz: That’s an absolutely fascinating question because we are dying constantly of something in us has to be let go of. We are moving from one state that we are familiar with to another state, if we are afraid of moving into the next state, then the transition becomes very painful, because we are holding on to something old, we cannot embrace something new, and that is usually because we are afraid, we are afraid of the unknown, and death is something that we cannot fathom. We cannot really understand it because it cannot be understood with words, it’s an experience.
I died in 1982 from malaria and I was in a hospital setting in New Delhi, India, where I lived for about a year and so one day, I had this malaria attack and it kept coming back, and it was so severe that even though we had about 120 degrees Fahrenheit which was way over 45 degrees centigrade, and I was freezing, I was shivering like a dog, a poodle that has been thrown in ice cold water and so I had extremely high fever, which caused me to be very, very cold inside and I remember the doctor giving me a fever reducing medication and I still remember I put it under my pillow, I said I don’t want to take it, there is something I need to experience here, and even if I have to die, you know I’m okay with that. So I died and I was dead for about 8 minutes…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Wow…
Andreas Moritz: And they had already given me up, and moved me somewhere else, and so when I came back to my awareness, to the physical awareness, I realized that I had never lost consciousness, I was fully aware of the entire process, but it was not like a memory, it’s not something you can recall, it is literally you’re in the moment and the present moment where you are everything, there is no moving from one to the next, it’s not like a profession, like moving into a heavenly field or something. Because I had no expectation and I was not terrified of death. I could experience death at its ultimate beauty, there was an intense clarity that anything I wanted to know I could have access to, and I didn’t even need to think of something to test it out. It’s very, very hard to describe, but it was so immensely enriching and beautiful, that when I came back, I had no more fear of death, it was literally gone, and that also helped me with my healing work, helping other people, because I was not afraid for them even if they sort of faced their own mortality, because I saw that the transition, if a person is prepared very well for that, can be extremely wonderful, and the preparation as you said is very essential because that’s why we spend an entire life time almost working towards it, unconsciously, most people, it is a sort of a gradual dying process coming to the point where death no longer matters, because death is the birth of new life and it is a different kind of life that is not limited by the physicality of the body, pains or aches, but its an expanded state of oneness, what your attention is setting, is creating, or is connecting to. Now when I had this near death experience, then I had two others later on in life, it became fun, actually literally it became fun, that today I have a sort of a very uplifting feeling about death and when people die, I’m not saddened by it, because I can also follow their path and feel how they must feel and then be at peace with what is going on in world, couple of well 12 years, 11 years ago, I conceived a book it’s called “Lifting The Veil Of Duality” and it is a book that wrote itself, I was just driving in the back seat of a car through California, through the National Park and it was a very pristine environment and very conducive to being calm and happy and centered, yet just all my, my eyes were locked on the writing pad and I was just scribbling non-stop and within doing this for a couple of days I had written this entire 280 page book, and the way it happened is that I woke up one morning where I could not conceive of anything as negative, the moment I was thinking of something that could be negative, I was immediately shown pictures of received words that I could then write down, that gave me an immediate recognition, like an experience, that that negative thing is coupled with an underlying counterpart that is positive. And so I was trying to think of anything and I took like World War II, what could be good in World War II? When I grew up, I grew up in a big city for the first two years, and the city was bombed, completely bombed out during the war, it’s Stuttgart in south-west Germany, I saw these buildings, these tall buildings, high buildings that just had nothing in them anymore except like the walls that were standing there alone with the windows smashed and no roof, nothing, and so I couldn’t understand why a city would have to look like that, and when I recalled the experiences that we were taught during the schooling time about what the Hitler did and World War II how it expanded the war to other countries and the concentration camps, and how many people died during that war, I immediately saw this picture in front of me where these beings that were dying, they started talking to me, because time is really nonexistent. We were thinking time is running in a linear fashion so something that happened in 1945 happened in 1945 and it doesn’t happen today, but in truth it happens today just as it happened then, it’s a very, very difficult concept for us to understand because, unless of course we had timelessness, if we had died ourselves, and we had experienced what it is, that you can be in all time lines at the same time, that you can be in the past and in the future all at the same time. So when I experienced the timelessness of it all and I saw these individuals and groups of people walking, sort of lifting out of the ruins and moving towards a, I could say it was light, it was just pure beautiful light, they were moving towards that light, behind or underneath them was like darkness and it was ugly darkness like clouds of heaviness, like smog that was so thick, and so I asked this group ‘what’s going on?’ and they were all happy individuals, they all smiled, they showed me their happiness and they said ‘well, we had signed up for this, we put ourselves into the families that then had to be in Germany at this time and then the bombs were hit,’ and then they told me that they are doing themselves a favor by dying collectively and they are also doing the earth a favor because they have some guilt in their hearts for having harmed other people in other lifetimes, many of them were involved in the Armenian, you know genocide, for example, and so they were coming back to allow themselves to experience something in return that was very similar, like the old saying an ‘eye for an eye, a truth for a truth’, ‘you throw a stone and you will be stoned yourself’ and so in a way, many of these beings they started moving towards the light and they siphoned off that darkness and that ugliness, the guilt and the shame that had become trapped in the planetary atmosphere for so many centuries and hundreds even thousands of years, and so they took that with them as they moved towards that tear, almost like a tear in the sky, and then they basically moved into that space where they were free of the attachment to the earth’s sphere and so they moved into the light and they progressed to the higher spheres where they could learn and understand some of the things that happened to them, that really happened to them, and so then I asked them as well just before they were departing, ‘what is the purpose of all of that?’ and then immediately they transferred me into a picture, like an appearance of something that would have happened 15 years after World War II ended, and I saw the nuclear bombs going up, destroying and pulverizing the entire planet, so we would have had a massive destruction, and so they said World War II had to happen to prevent World War III.
Now if you think of that, sometimes we are screaming out when we step on when a thorn is getting into our hand and we say ‘oh my god that’s terrible’ and ‘I’m bleeding’ or you step onto a nail and you’re complaining about the wound and the pain that arises from that, but it could have just prevented something far more serious, just like World War II prevented World War III, so when we look at calamities of any kind that is inflicting the planet or ourselves in our personal lives, we have the opportunity to embrace a potential positive reason that brought it about, and when we do that, we allow ourselves to make peace with that, we move into an acceptance mode, that means we are able to, instead of rejecting what we don’t like, we are able to embrace and accept what we don’t like, and simply by doing that we transform it into its purpose, its true purpose, no negative thing that can ever happen on the planet can be devoid or without a positive reason behind it, and this is how duality is constructed because everything on this dimension, in this dimension, in this earth’s sphere has an equal opposite to it, for every particle there is an anti particle, for every up there is a down, waves move up and down, they are not just moving in just one direction, otherwise there would be no waves, there is light for darkness, there is fear and love which are opposites, there is anger and happiness, there is positive and negative, there is right and wrong, there is beauty and ugliness, there are so many opposites but if we are just taking one out of the equation, we are getting an incomplete picture and it is stressing us, it is causing a pressure because if we get something beautiful, something that is enjoyable, then we know and we are afraid of losing that, because it will have to come to an end, because everything comes to an end.
So if we are experiencing something very bad and we are afraid for it to recur, then we will repeat it again and again, unless we are actually accepting it and learning from it, and we can learn from everything, particularly the negative things, particularly from the mistakes that we make. So the next time you may curse yourself and put yourself down for having made a mistake, just take a couple of deep breaths and ask yourself ‘is it really important to avoid it all the time and to be afraid of it or to put myself down for it or can I actually gain something from it?’ and the moment you are able to accept it and bring it into your heart and say ‘well I’m allowed to make mistakes, everyone is allowed to make mistakes, who says we shouldn’t and we couldn’t make mistakes,’ and so the more lenient we become with ourselves, we will find that we make actually less mistakes, they become less necessary because there is no more the fear of making mistakes, and the same thing with dying, if we are afraid of death, we have to face it in one way or another, maybe we need to lose a loved one, or a pet, or we need to lose a home, or we need to lose our job, because when we hold on to something it is no longer in our best interest and so you’re being forced to let go off something to experience a little death here and there, doesn’t matter what kind of loss it is, its always like a mini death or bigger death experience that leads us to big the death experience, the eventual physical demise where we are so prepared that we are no longer having any expectations, we don’t go into the next realm, into the next dimensional world with a preconceived idea, we are free of any of that because there’s no more fear, fear drives us into having expectations, we say ‘this is how it should be I don’t want that, I don’t to have the disease, I tried to avoid an accident, I have to be very careful, I have to stop making mistakes’, so we punish ourselves in many, many different ways but eventually we realize that by lovingly accepting everything about ourselves, especially the weaknesses, the shortcomings, the things that other people don’t like about us, if we don’t try to change ourselves, then we come to a place of consciousness where we are no longer afraid…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: You know what, I love everything that you are saying is, it just resonates so much with me because I have been able to read your “Lifting The Veil Of Duality” and I’m able to fully comprehend and understand. You do such a wonderful job of starting in a place that everyone can relate to and then it sort of builds, and then you ask people to rethink their thinking, and by the time the book is done, all of this starts to make sense, and I know that you have people like well-known actors like Suzanne Somers who quote your work, and definitely love all of your different insights, and I know you also have completely people on the opposite scale, they are like ‘wow, he’s just a quack, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about’, you know, which I find is really kind of cute and funny because this is all duality stuff to begin with, which is what you talk, the duality of life, you say it’s like a pendulum, its one end dark and the other end light, its always in opposites, and what I love so much about you is you really walk your talk, you don’t get attached to either end you encourage everyone to be both open and loving to both sides, and you are always talking about not attaching yourself to happiness and not attaching yourself to sadness, just really fully as I like to say enjoying the experience and understanding that there is a reason that its happening, and its happening for your highest and greatest good and I had just today I had someone who was consulting with me, and I was asking whether or not they would want to work with me, because I wasn’t really feeling that it was going to be a good match, and this person was really wanting to dwell on the idea that the bad things that were happening through her were happening to her, literally, as she was being a victim of it, and it was horrible and awful and she wanted to judge it and my question to her was ‘why is this happening? How is this serving you? How is this a gift?’ And she wanted no part of it and I knew then that we weren’t a match because someone needs at least to be open to the idea that this is happening for a reason, and that this is a gift which brings me to all of your wonderful discussions about cancer and disease, you speak about this all the time, you say this is not harmful, it’s a gift, you say diagnosis of a disease should be a very uplifting experience because everything that happens is in your highest and best interest to help you fully transform. Yet, I know that as I say this some people are resisting and saying ‘yeah, right,’ so Andreas, tell us more…
Andreas Moritz: Cancer is really a great example, because it is such a misunderstood occurrence, I’ve had the joy of meeting people that were terminally ill with cancer and some of them had been given like 10 days to live, and there were, I remember this, I lived in Cyprus at that time, and his name was Andreas, and so he was a guy who was treated for kidney cancer, and he had kidney cancer in one and they took it out and he survived with the other kidney, and then that showed up in the second kidney and they sent him home, and they said, well, he asked ‘how long do I have to live?’ They said ‘couple of days, may be 10 days,’ and so he came to me, he was very fatigued, he hardly could walk up the staircase to my apartment and so he says “anything you can do for me?” and I said “no, I cannot do anything for you, but you can do it for yourself.” and he didn’t even mention the word cancer once. So I told him all the things he can do for himself, and I said we don’t have to treat anything here, we just introduced to him to, like second element, if you want to get rid of darkness, you don’t have to find out how to remove darkness, all you need to do is turn on the light and the darkness will be disappear, will be gone, and likewise, the way how duality works is that, if there is a negative, there’s also the positive not far away from it. Just like the North Pole and the South Pole, they seem to be very distant from one another, but one cannot exist without the other, you cannot have a disease without a deeper meaning and purpose, and without an opportunity to accelerate your state of health. So the two are always close together, in fact what I discovered and I’ve seen that in so many, so many cases that I could no longer deny it is that cancer is, in itself, by itself, a healing process. Now the cancer is part of the solution to an underlying condition that has not been diagnosed or not recognized, and it takes the person out of his unconscious limitations, and there are so many programs that people have written inside of them, in the subconscious mind… I’ve seen people transfer programs of guilt and shame from other lifetimes into this lifetime, and they start translating these impressions, these unfinished business-type situations into biochemical changes which always runs through the brain because we use the mind, the mind produces your thoughts, feelings, emotions, whether they are subconscious or whether they are conscious, they are creating bio chemical changes and so as they do that, the brain chemistry is altered. You produce neuropeptides which are very powerful hormones that transmit information from one place to another and if certain parts of the brain fire off these neuropeptides and they end up in a different part of the body, which they do, they connect with the surface of the cells, let’s say in the kidneys, like in this person, and they will start creating changes in the environment, first of all the blood is changing because whatever happens in the brain, the mental thoughts, feelings, emotions will change to blood chemistry. For example, if you are terrified of something, you’re afraid of it, you have a lion running after you, you want to run away you create a ‘fight or flight’ response which sheds from your adrenal glands more adrenaline and cortisol which suppresses the immune system, and it shuts down the blood supply to the intestinal tract and it will mobilize your distribution or increase your distribution of oxygen through the muscles, so that you can actually run away or fight, and when you do that you have high toxicity in the blood because these stress hormones are extremely toxic, the body has to remove them again, but if you are constantly afraid of something, you cannot remove them anymore and they change the blood chemistry, and as that happens, it will start changing the cellular environment, the fluid surrounding the cells because wherever the blood flows that’s where you affect the cells, so what’s in the blood will end up in the cells as well.
So inside the cells you have a changed internal environment, which will cause changes to the genetic blueprint, which is the DNA and the DNA strands will start contracting. Now when you are afraid, it’s now known, the DNA strands become shorter and they start becoming tight and they don’t produce the right amount of proteins or different kinds of proteins, and they produce other proteins that are typically not produced. So now you have a genetic mutation going on, that will facilitate the survival of that cell that otherwise would suffocate or be destroyed because of the changed cell environment. Now anytime you have a stressful period of some sort, the stress might happen in the womb of the mother, while being in the womb of the mother, because now we know that babies respond to stress of the mother severely, very, very strongly, it’s almost like an amplification system. If the mother is unhappy the heartbeat of the mother changes and the embryo, the child, changes too, the heartbeat changes… of the child, and there will be a stress reaction, and so if the stress is prolonged then the baby might get born with certain deficiencies, weaknesses, gets born prematurely or has other malfunctions, and it can undergo already genetic reprogramming or genetic blueprint becomes distorted, and you have so-called genetic faults or mistakes that occur. They can be perhaps diagnosed later in life or they are never diagnosed, but some kind of illness might occur and that could be called cancer or diabetes or arthritis, heart disease, and so on.
What really happens is that there is a change in the programming, of the subconscious programming, that initiates a ripple effect that goes all the way down to the genetic level, and if we want to make a change to that programming, we may unconsciously set ourselves up for an illness that then serves as a way to penetrate deep into our subconscious mind and so illness then becomes a very means to put us on a course where we become more aware of what we are unconsciously doing to ourselves, or to others, and so I found over the years that by allowing people to go through the cancer experience, without you putting too much attention on the cancer itself, and without specially… without treating it, it can take its course, what will typically happen is that for example if a lung cancer shows up, a tumor in the lungs, you can go back to a period in that persons life where there was fear, death fright of some sort, something happened, something traumatic, an accident, someone else died, a parent died or a child died, loss of a job, a divorce, something that affected that personality deeply and that person could not work it out at that time, the conflict could not be resolved, so it needed to be transferred into the physical body and so it manifested, just as I mentioned through entire stages from having thoughts, feelings, emotions, that then translated to biochemical changes all the way to a genetic mutation that then allows the cell to function and behave in a different way, or for new cells to be created that have a different program written in them and these are extraordinary cells, I call them extraordinary, other people call them cancer cells, I call them extraordinary cells or extra cells because they are needed during the time of severe stress to take over some of the functions that otherwise would lead to the demise or the collapse of entire organs or systems. So for the person to go through that stress, he has to generate, in this case, extra lung cells, these are alveoli cells, that are allowing the increase of, increase demand for oxygen to be taken care of, that means these extra cells will produce or pass more oxygen to the rest of the body so during the stress the ‘fight or flight’ response so the person can survive. Now as soon as this stressful period is over, that’s when the body will target these cells and inflame them and create a requirement for micro organisms like TB bacteria, fungi, and Candida bacteria and other micro organisms to collect in that area, and they do that in the lymph fluid and in the intracellular fluid, so they start increasing in number and that furthers the growth of a tumor.
So the tumor starts growing big and fast, hopefully faster than is typical because the faster it happens that assures that the healing is progressing very quickly, if it grows very slowly, then the healing is taking place more slowly, so eventually when the micro organisms reach a certain climax point, and the cancer cells are obviously no longer needed, then there will be a massive infection, and during that infection the cells will disintegrate, these extra cells or cancer cells will disintegrate, they fall apart and break down into millions of bits of proteins which then are getting into the circulatory system, into the lymphatic system they eventually end up in the kidneys, and then the person would literally pee urine that is packed full of proteins, and that is a sign that the body is breaking down the tumor, and within a couple of days the tumor is completely gone. In the meanwhile, the lungs are getting to a state of perfect health. They are actually better, much better than they were before, with the gentleman Andreas, he no longer focused on the cancer he focused on all the things that could make him feel better, focused on his diet, on his life style, getting out in the sun, getting enough Vitamin D, the simplest things, these are timeless secrets for the body to return to a state of vitality and health, and day by day he started calling me up and saying ‘I’m feeling so much better, so obviously something must be doing well’, I told him not to even go back to get his cancer checks for at least three or four months and so after about six months, he went back to Germany to the same clinic where they sent him home and they said the cancer was completely gone, and I’ve seen this so many times that I could not ignore the process of how cancer is actually healing the underlying conditions that are never ever diagnosed as being the root causes, they simply look at the symptom, they don’t like it, they think it is abnormal, and you can just as well look it at as being something normal, as being something necessary and useful, and the moment you have that changed attitude towards it, the body is healing it unhindered, but the moment you are afraid of it, and you follow the prognosis the doctors give you, then you go home with that prognosis and potential death sentence that you have to now live with, and you cannot sleep, you don’t get rest anymore, and the body cannot produce growth factors, growth hormones in order to repair any damage or injury inside the body, your mind becomes restless, you become permanently stressed, you produce stress hormones almost day and night. The digestion becomes completely obsolete. There is no digestion when you are under stress, because the blood vessels of gastrointestinal tract they become constricted, so there’s no proper blood flow to that area, hence the body is wasting, the cells don’t get the nutrients and oxygen anymore, and the person becomes diseased, he feels that if he gets poisoned by chemotherapy drugs which target these cells that are doing a very good job, to try to heal something very profound, they are no longer allowed to do that, and any attempt of healing that the body can come up with is stifled, undermined, and stopped, and then the final diagnosis will be when the person dies, that he died from cancer but there is nothing, there is no truth to it because the cancer is on the body’s side.
So by getting into a frame work of accepting what we don’t like, and actually love what we hate, such as like cancer, instead of creating a war against a cancer, by embracing it and letting it be, and letting it show to us what that particular illness or calamity or debility can teach us, it is always something we can get from it and learn from it, and I’ve seen it in my own life, having to face the opposite of what I wanted it to be, it allowed me by embracing what I didn’t like to also enjoy what I loved, because when you allow the negative to come in and let it hang around you for a while, then the positive element that is coupled with it, that is connected with it, can come in as well, so the darkness is very, very useful, by making peace with the dark then you can enjoy the light, imagine a world that is light all the time, it’s not enjoyable, if the duality is missing, then the contrast is missing, then we have no real experience, so embracing both and accepting both, as you said, Michelle, is very important and some people are not ready for that, they resist it, and so this client obviously could not accept that she’s not the victim here, that what happened to her is a blessing in disguise, it is something that is benefitting her if she accepts that. Does that make any sense?
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: It totally does, and so the spinoff question to this is that I understand the piece about removing the fear, and obviously you don’t want to fight cancer, you don’t want to kill cancer, you don’t want to destroy cancer, cause that’s going to keep you in the fight mode and if it’s going to continue to trigger that stress response, and so if you rethink your thinking and look at cancer as a necessary form of healing, as a good first step, if you look at the tumors as those white blood cells that are going to help you move toward vitality, and you know wonderful well being, if you look at things like lung cancer as this is a really good thing, because its going to help you improve, if you look at everything kind of, in the opposite way, then this is going to really assist with your thinking ,and with your feelings and its going to keep you nice and centered, because all disease come in because we are off balance somewhere. The piece that I’m a little bit confused about and I’d like some clarity is, understanding that it’s important not to attach yourself to either outcome because of this idea of duality. If a person has some type of a disease, you know it could be a minor thing, we have psoriasis versus somebody who has, you know, major terminal illness, and they’ve been only given a week to live type of thing, either way, what advice do you have for them where they are not clinging or attaching themselves to the idea of love and light, yet they are not staying in this negative fight mode either…
Andreas Moritz: Well, first of all, we cannot do anything for anyone else, they will have to do it for themselves, we can assist them when they ask for help, but they will have to accept, they have to be at the receiving end, open the door and say ‘yes I let this be’ and there is this beautiful song by the Beatles, “let it be, let it be.” It’s so profound because it is the wisdom of how we ought to live our lives, letting it be, I just remember the I grew up as a catholic and there are certain terms that are still stuck in my head, and one said Jesus basically said ‘love thy enemies’, loving the enemy, and the translation really means love your adversities, it means love the things you don’t like, love the things that you are afraid of, love the things that you reject, love the diseases that bother you, because there is a deeper meaning behind them, like when people have certain skin problems that don’t seem to go away, you can see and you can trace it back to certain experiences where they were going through a separation, like there were feeling that they were being threatened by something, like a law suit, or people that were molesting them, or a father that was just constantly criticizing the child, so when they go through that, the skin is basically the defining element that connects us with the outside world, if their skin is on a defense, like shielding itself or protecting itself against a possible threat, feeling like a victim, then the skin will have to thicken its layer, its armor, right, it will have to build extra cells in order to deal with the threat, these are all natural, instinctive mechanisms, programs that the human body has, they come with a territory, living in a world where there are elements, like the weather, there can be strong sunshine in places that can burn you, so there are mechanisms in place that respond to such circumstances, environmental changes, and you see that in nature as well, if a mother has children she will protect the children, no matter what, whether she risks her own life, so like that there will be responses in the physical body to deal with any kind of conflict situations, and when we build these extra cells to protect ourselves, once the stressful period is over, and it calms down, then the body will have to break down these excessive cells again, which creates an inflammatory response, it invites certain bacteria, like a staph bacteria, it will make sure that these extra cells will be removed because otherwise it can cause suffocation in the long term. So, the body may go through a skin disorder for an entire year or two, because perhaps the stressful conditions lasted for ten years.
So you can see there is wisdom behind every thing that the body does, or allows to happen, there is never ever a reason for being a victim, because victim is a perceptional mode, what we perceive that’s what we become, if we think that we are threatened, you will attract like a magnet all the people that don’t like us, we will attract the situations that interfere with us, but if we perceive those particular threats as useful somehow, like I remember six-seven years ago, my entire business was stolen because I just let that person take over many of the different jobs, and he wrote all the accounts in his name and eventually my entire business, I had fewer control over my business, and so I said “Wow, what do I have learn from that?”, and then I remembered a lifetime with him, in another lifetime, where I was like the monk and the holy man, and he was the businessman, and he was taking over my life and he took advantage of me and he enriched himself from that, and this time I needed to let this happen again to then take control and say “No, I’m taking charge of my business, I’m not just into the spiritual, and the healing, and helping other people without charging much,” and yeah, I was into that sort of a thing and then I put more control into my life and learned everything that there was to learn about computers and websites and creating some kind of expansion for this work, which otherwise I would never have done, and so then it turned out to be the greatest blessing, so when I think of this person, he was an Indian, from India, and I bless him deeply because he actually helped me to expand tenfold, and so everything, if we sit quietly for a little while, and let it be, and love the enemy, that means letting the enemy into our home, into our heart, home means heart, then the enemy transforms in front of our eyes, simply by perceiving it differently, we start noticing that what threatened us is actually benefitting us, if we dare see it that way, and it has to be this way because as long as we are afraid of something, we are attached to it, it holds us energetically to that what we are afraid of…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Okay.
Andreas Moritz: And the fear itself is useful therefore, to allow us to become aware of it, without the fear we would not have a contrast, we could not learn to love is that a concept, without the fear we could not learn to love because when we are afraid of something it is fear of something within ourselves, the external threat, when people criticize us and we sort of go into a corner and put an armor in front of us and say ‘I don’t want to know’ or we attack back, that fear is so uncomfortable, and it shrinks our heart, it causes our heart to become very, very small, and you cannot be happy that way, you stop loving yourself, it’s not possible in that state to love anyone else either, and so here, the fear, the bigger the fear becomes, the greater the opportunity to expand our heart, because when we dare do exactly what we are afraid of, then we end up in a pool of love, literally liberates us, and that liberation, that expansion feels so good that after a while you look for things that you are afraid of, that I’m going to do that next, so, it’s again the concept that negatives are actually are our greatest opportunities, they are not there to harm us or to punish us. Karma has a very bad reputation, but it’s actually one of the better things that can happen to us. Karma is never meant to punish us, to put us down, to inflict pain on us for the things that we have done to others, the only reason why we draw those things towards us is because we feel guilty, we are afraid of opening up, and we are not embracing those that have harmed us, or seemingly have harmed us, in reality, they are just delivering a message that allows us to open the letter and say ‘yes that’s me, I needed that, give me more of it, I want to learn,’ instead of reacting to someone who criticizes you, you could just as well reach out your hand and say ‘obviously there’s something that makes you unhappy, is there anything I can do for you?’, we always have the choice, we can always take something that happens to us and create the opposite of it…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: So I think you answered this, I just really want to make sure that I’m fully in the same space as you, it sounds like attachment can only occur when there is some type of a fear, so I couldn’t necessarily attach myself too much to love, or too much to happiness, or too much to joy, is that right?
Andreas Moritz: No, love cannot be an attachment; real love is so unconditional that it cannot be bound by anything. It is free, and it’s not given, and it’s not received, it is, it is just is, and as the state of love when the heart is so expanded, in that your condition, everything is acceptable, it’s not rejecting the negatives, it’s not threatened by other people’s evil thoughts or actions, it’s not overthrown by any of that because it is not our business, if someone else thinks badly of me and calls me a quack then like quackwatch.com, (anyone wants to look at it?) then if I resonate with that, then obviously there is something in me that I can learn from that, if it doesn’t resonate with me, then it’s their problem because they limit themselves by putting themselves down, simply by having those kind of limiting negative thoughts and feelings, it’s their issues, it’s not mine, if I make it my issue, then obviously there is room for loving myself a little more, accepting myself a little more, for not putting myself down as much, for not judging myself. So again, the contrast of life is very important, the people that have a very, very high level of consciousness, if you use that term, they often attract some of the worst things to them, and why is that, because it’s contrast. If there is a lot of light, there will also, the darkness will not far away from that, darkness and light meet, if you ever fly over, across the continents, you sometime see where darkness and light meet, it’s like a line, but they co-exist and they move from one territory into the other, so contrasts need to be there and we can be accepting of both of them, fear and love, and benefit from both of them…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Wow…
Andreas Moritz: We don’t have to be fearless…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: And you know as you’re speaking there are so many gems that I’ve have picked up from you and your books and you say things like the only limitations to you are those which you believe, you are only able to understand and create in your life, what you believe is your truth, everyone has the reason to be the way they are, no matter what it is, you talk about whenever we criticize others or ourselves, all that we really do is point out our own worthiness issues, there’s just gem after gem after gem in your book, and I absolutely, positively, love it and I know that you want to be able to offer our listeners a healing and before we do that, I have one last question that I’m just very curious about, Andreas, you receive messages from channeling and it happens so easily and effortlessly from the way that you describe it, and I’m wondering have you had this gift all your life, or did it happen, were you always aware of it, or did it happen, kind of, during your path of awakening, or when did you first discover it?
Andreas Moritz: Again, when you get close to dying, there something happens, it’s almost like the boundaries of deception, they become lifted and limited, and they sort of disappear, at least for the time being, and so opens the doors to other dimensional realities, and then you receive that knowingness, that you are absolutely sure about certain things, you don’t question it, it’s just this is how it is.
And so it did happen through going through my illnesses, they were so severe, I had like 40 gallstone attacks, and the pain that you experience when you have those is so excruciating that it’s like you’d rather die, rather prefer to die and get it all over and done with, but it taught me to love even that, and say ‘what can I do with it?’ and what happened is then this book all over the world and millions of people have done the liver flushes and helped themselves heal from multiple illnesses, so what was my greatest curse turned out to become one of the greatest blessings.
So sometimes we do benefit ourselves, but also it at the same time can benefit others greatly. So the greater the suffering sometimes is, I’m not justifying self suffering here, it’s not, I’m not glorifying it, but if it happens and if it has happened, then you can turn that into a gem, into something very beautiful. So for me, the opening to the inner world that also extends to the external world and other worlds happened, sort of, when I didn’t even look for them, I didn’t choose to have beings talk through me, use my vocal chords and scream out different sounds in different languages, that then turned out to have healing benefits that allowed people to resonate with those sounds and vibrations or frequencies, and then have experiences of conclusion, where an old conflict that may have been buried in their subconscious mind for lifetimes is suddenly brought to a conclusion by hearing those particular sounds, and they just resonate with this and that was, “I cannot describe it”, they feel something that resonated with them, made them whole where they were fragmented before, and so I never chose to paint healing art, I never painted in my life before and one day it was channeled through me, there were painters, beings of Van Gogh, Mary Cassatt, and Rembrandt, who are by the way all alive and well, and they started channeling to me some of their gifts, and they taught me to paint with my non-preferred hand which is really totally useless, my left hand, and they taught me to paint with my left hand, and to get out of my left brain, and so I learned how to paint, and create the feeling paintings that have remarkable benefits, I never chose to do that but…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Or maybe you did, maybe you did, Andreas…
Andreas Moritz: Meditating helped a lot, I must admit that, today I hardly ever meditate, I admit that too, but I’m sort of in a constant state of meditation, even in the midst of a very strong activity, so I get information like non-stop about one thing or other. So when I put my attention on it, I get new information. The book “Lifting The Veil Of Duality” is a transformational book, and those who you have read it you have to reported back to me that there are things in there that create “ah ha” moments like deep, deep, deep recognitions that are not really explainable, and that are not left-brain, your computing, understanding rational thinking or self processes, they are just things that happen, and when you have these “ah ha” moments, that’s when you are open to receive information, and again when you go through experiences such as loss of someone that you loved, loss of money, profession, loss of a home, lot of people have lost their homes recently during the tornadoes, when people lose the margins, the sort of the things that were recognizable for them for a long, long time where they knew they are safe, they have a home and everything is fine, they have a job and then when it’s ripped away from them, they move into that state of homelessness, where they are very close to their higher self, their spiritual self, and if they allow themselves to experience it without sort of panicking right into the next like fixing it, trying to fix the problem, and just allowing it for a while, then they will be infused with deep, deep concentration of love that is expanding somewhere in our heart, into their minds, and it opens up their third eye, and they suddenly have recognitions and understandings that they never had before. So that’s how your channeling can really happen through a crisis of some sort, what we call crisis, but it’s actually the end of a phase in their lives and they ready to transition to a new phase in their life, in between is the gap. On the cover of the book “Lifting The Veil Of Duality”, there’s a painting that I created, a double spiral, that is spiraled, sort of coming to a point, at a point of light, and in that point, everything is transformed, so nothing seems to happen in that, it’s a state of confusion, so when a person goes through a state of confusion he says “I don’t know what to do”, stay there, remain there, it’s the best place to be, confusion is the best place to be, what we call depression is a phase where people move away, and like a loss of all the external attachments where its no longer becoming, it’s no longer important, they move into a state of total confusion, and if they were told ‘that’s wonderful, this is something that is actually good for you, you are going through the dark night of the soul, darkness is very good’, because darkness is a place where there is no attachment possible, you cannot see anything, you can be yourself, and even when we know about dark holes, the black holes, their inside are completely filled with light but it looks like you are caught up in dark hole, you are so close to the light, when they enter a dark hole, and that’s true, for going through the darker phases in our lives, the difficult parts of our lives, those who look back at them they say this is the best thing that ever happened to me, for me I have many of those experiences where I said “Oh I wish I wouldn’t have them”, but when I look back at them I say they were the best things that ever happened to me, today I have no remorse over any of them, they are all gems in my treasure box.
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Wow…
Andreas Moritz: I don’t want to dismiss any of them, and you can get, everyone can get to that space where life is meaningful on every level.
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Wow, so beautiful, I know in your book “Lifting The Veil Of Duality”, you say “the duality of life isn’t to make us suffer for no reason but at the very least to recognize suffering as not harmful”, which goes along with everything you’ve just said, and it is so beautiful, so what do we need to do, Andreas, to help you I mean what do we need to do for this higher vibrational Sacred Santémony is my first question, my second question is for those people that need to jump off the call, will it be just as effective during the replay?
Andreas Moritz: Less, because it’s a live process but there will be benefits to it…
Michelle Skaletski Boyd: Okay…
Andreas Moritz: Because again time is irrelevant, it runs in every direction, time runs in a parallel fashion, not in a linear fashion, so something that happened yesterday is still happening today, something that happened a hundred thousand years ago is still happening right now in a parallel setting, in a parallel reality, so we all have access to it through our consciousness because we are there, because consciousness is not limited by time and space. So if someone listens to the recording, he will connect to today, to the now, that we are just experiencing this moment, and so if everyone would not mind closing the eyes for that, and I will do the same, and I never know what is coming through, it will lessen some of the things that you are going through in your life. So if you just for a moment think of something that is important for you, any difficulties, any emotional blocks that you might experience, things that are unresolved in your life, loose ends, things that are affecting you profoundly or less profoundly, any disease that you’re struggling with, and it would be helpful for you to see the positive element behind it, so any of that, anything that comes to mind, just process it, just by thinking about it for a couple of seconds, and at the same time take a couple of deep breaths….
Now open your heart just like a beautiful flower that is viewing or looking at the sun and is absorbing the warming rays of the sun, and so is your heart wide open, ready to receive the blessings that the universe has in store for you at this time, there’s nothing you need to do, you don’t have to focus on the sounds that come through, you don’t have to concentrate, you can have thoughts, feelings, anything that comes to you, it doesn’t matter, as long as you are able to hear the sounds, and give me a few seconds to put myself into an altered state of mind.

Dying from a broken heart may seem more like a scene from a Shakespearean drama than reality, but extreme grief really can “break” your heart.
In the days after losing someone close to you, your risk of suffering from a heart attack goes through the roof — increasing by up to 21 times!
If You Lose a Loved One, You’re at Serious Risk of Having a Heart Attack
It’s well known that psychological stress exacts a great physical toll on your health, but new research reveals just how extreme that toll can be.
In comparing how grief affects your heart disease risk within a period of time, researchers found that losing a significant person in your life raises your risk of having a heart attack the next day by 21 times, and in the following week by 6 times.
The risk of heart attacks began to decline after about a month had passed, perhaps as levels of stress hormones begin to level out.
The study did not get into the causes of the abrupt increase in risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack, but it’s likely related to the flood of stress hormones your body is exposed to following extreme stress.
For instance, adrenaline increases your blood pressure and your heart rate, and it’s been suggested it may lead to narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to your heart, or even bind directly to heart cells allowing large amounts of calcium to enter and render the cells temporarily unable to function properly.
Interestingly, while your risk of heart attack increases following severe stress, so does your risk of what’s known as stress cardiomyopathy — or “broken heart syndrome” — which is basically a “temporary” heart attack that occurs due to stress.
Did Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno Die from a “Broken Heart”?
Joe Paterno, the beloved former head football coach at Penn State University, died just 74 days after he was fired from his position in the wake of a sex abuse scandal. It was last November that child sex allegations were brought up against Jerry Sandusky, Paterno’s assistant at Penn State, and many blamed Paterno for not doing more to protect the boys.
Paterno had been quoted as saying the incident was “one of the great sorrows in my life,” and noted he was “absolutely devastated” by the allegations against Sandusky. This undoubtedly placed great stress on Paterno, and in combination with also losing his position at Penn State, may very well have contributed to his demise.
While it’s officially said that Paterno died from complications from lung cancer, stress, grief and a broken heart would be hard to rule out as contributing factors.
Broken Heart Syndrome Often Mimics a Heart Attack
The symptoms of stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome are very similar to those of a typical heart attack — chest pain, shortness of breath, low blood pressure and even congestive heart failure can occur. There are some important differences, however.
In broken heart syndrome, the symptoms occur shortly after an extremely stressful event, such as a death in the family, serious financial loss, extreme anger, domestic abuse, a serious medical diagnosis, or a car accident or other trauma. This stress and the subsequent release of stress hormones are thought to “stun” or “shock” the heart, leading to sudden heart muscle weakness.
This condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention, however it is often a temporary condition that leaves no permanent damage. In most cases a typical heart attack occurs due to blockages in the coronary arteries that stop blood flow and cause heart cells to die, leading to irreversible damage. But people with broken heart syndrome often have normal arteries without significant blockages. The symptoms occur due to the emotional stress, so when the stress begins to die down, the heart is able to recover.
Stress Impacts Far More than Your Heart…
The fact is, you can’t separate your health from your emotions. Every feeling you have affects some part of your body. And stress can wreak havoc even if you’re doing everything else “right.”
Extreme, sudden stress like the examples noted above can obviously have near-immediate impacts on your health, but so can lingering everyday stressors that we all juggle, particularly when they’re not dealt with over time. This causes your body to remain in “fight or flight” mode for far too long — much longer than was ever intended from a biological standpoint.
One of the most common consequences of this scenario is that your adrenal glands, faced with excessive stress and burden, become overworked and fatigued. This can lead to a number of related health conditions, including fatigue, autoimmune disorders, skin problems and more. Stress has also been linked to cancer by acting as a pathway between cancerous mutations, potentially triggering the growth of tumors. In fact, stress, and by proxy your emotional health, is a leading factor in virtually any disease or illness you can think of.
Are There Any Proven Ways to Deal With Grief?
Getting back to the original study, the grief experienced following the loss of a loved one is easily one of the most devastating experiences a person can face. So what can you do to get through it?
Generally speaking, the emotional intensity of feelings of grief will recede over time, but the grieving process itself will be unique to you. You might feel denial and anger, but you might not. You might feel depressed or a yearning for your loved one, or you might not. It’s important to open your mind to the notion that whatever you feel during your grieving process is OK, and likely exactly what you need.
While grief can feel insurmountable and become understandably all-consuming, take comfort in the fact that virtually everyone is able to move past the dark feelings. Typically within six months, you’ll begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
During the grieving process, be gentle with yourself and take steps to support positive mental health. Exercise is very helpful for thisaspect. Other common stress reduction tools with a high success rate include prayer, meditation and yoga. The Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is another option; it’s a psychological acupressure technique, one I highly recommend to manage stress and optimize your emotional health.
Also, please remember that both your mind and mood are significantly affected by your diet, so don’t dismiss that part. While it may not be a miracle cure in and of itself, it can be extremely difficult to achieve sound mental health without the proper foundation of a sound diet and exercise plan.
Sound sleep is another critical issue. You can have the best diet and exercise program possible but if you aren’t sleeping well your mental health can suffer and it is difficult to make healing progress. You can find 33 tips to help improve your sleep habits here.
Remember, left untended, emotional trauma like losing a loved one can lead to serious health problems down the road — anything from heart attacks to depression and cancer is possible. If you’ve been dealing with debilitating feelings of grief that last for a year or more, professional help, including counseling or working with an EFT professional, may be warranted.
As an aside, many of these same tips, particularly my nutrition plan for proper diet along with regular exercise and attention to reducing emotional stress will drastically lower your heart disease and heart attack risk from any cause, so it’s wise to implement them into your lifestyle whether you’re experiencing grief or not.
One final tip… low levels of vitamin D in your blood have long been correlated with higher risk of heart disease and heart attacks, as well as problems with emotional health, such as depression. So I recommend you optimize your vitamin D levels for the sake of both your heart health and your emotional health.

Children often fall ‘accidentally on purpose’ if their bodies require a boost of immunity. A wound that becomes infected due to dirt very often serves as a quick self-help method to stimulate the immune system and further increase the level of natural resistance to disease in a child’s body. Many growth spurts are initiated in this way. We tend to think that children don’t know what is happening, but their Higher Selves and spiritual guides are ever watchful to permit only what truly is in their highest interest, even if this means injury.
However, what begins to happen is that this natural instinct or ‘innocent knowingness’ becomes gradually distorted through the varied responses the child receives from the surroundings. Basically, all reactions in life are ego-driven, which means they are rooted in the fear of separation. Without fear, there would be no reaction, only action. Since separation can only occur in the ego or consciousness of non-reality, none of what appears to be real is actually real. Separation appears so real because there is no perception of the underlying oneness.
How many of us remember having been scolded for not finishing what our mother had prepared for us? Maybe we weren’t hungry or our body’s natural instincts suppressed the urge to eat for other reasons, such as feeling unwell or upset about something. Or maybe we just didn’t like the food she cooked. Our body’s own normal and natural responses, however, were criticized with such words as: “You are a spoiled brat!” or “You don’t value what God is giving to you!”
Several years ago, I had a patient who complained to me about his eating disorder. “I can never sit at a table and eat a meal like everyone else does,” he said. When I inquired about his childhood eating habits he reluctantly told me that his mother literally used to throw portions of food at him that he was unable to eat. Although his mother truly believed that this was the proper way to teach her son to appreciate the food she was preparing for him – because of her own unfulfilled needs for love and appreciation – such ‘justified’ methods of educating her son had led to his highly disturbed relationship to food and eating. Using food as an educational tool to teach the young ones the ‘right manners’ of adulthood has become very popular. The good intention of the parents, however, has turned out to be the most influential contributing factor causing a disproportionate part of the population to suffer from eating disorders and obesity.
These people have learned from early in their lives that listening to the body is wrong. Thus, in later life, they have no way of knowing how to read or decipher the body’s language. The communication link between the inner and the outer aspects of life becomes severely disrupted and so does the spiritual connection to the Source Self.

Stress is one of the greatest deterrents to health and well-being. Virtually all of us experience stress in our life from time to time, and our bodies are designed to respond accordingly. For example, if we encounter physical danger, the ‘fight or flight’ stress responses within our body are designed to help us protect ourselves from that danger. So long as experiences of this nature are infrequent, our body is generally able to restore its normal equilibrium without any significant long-term effect on our health.
The more damaging situations are those to which we are exposed on a recurring basis, such as a stressful job, an inharmonious relationship or constant worries about finances. Even watching the daily television news programs tend to create levels of stress within us as we react emotionally to situations that seem tragic or unjust. We must therefore address issues that tend to cause stress, and look for insights and guidance as to how we can live our life in peace and harmony even amid the seeming chaos of our contemporary world.
Growth or Protection
In his book The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce Lipton discusses the concept of ‘growth or protection’. Essentially this concept illustrates how the physiological processes within our body are dramatically affected by fear and stress.
The story begins at the cellular level. Dr. Lipton was a research biologist for many years, the focus of his work being on the functioning of human cells. One of the phenomena he noted early in his work was that if he placed human endothelial cells in the center of a culture dish, and then placed nutrients near the edge of the dish, the cells gradually migrated toward the nutrients. On the other hand, if he placed toxins near the edge of the dish, the cells would migrate away from the toxins. In other words, human cells would either move toward that which was nurturing, or away from that which was endangering. To say it another way, in any given moment, human cells are either in a state of ‘growth’, or in a state of ‘protection’.
Our human bodies are made up of approximately 50 trillion cells. Just like the individual cells, our bodies tend to be either in a state of growth or protection. The term ‘growth’, as used here, is intended to imply not just growing in size from infancy to adulthood, but also the continual sustenance and regeneration of our bodies throughout our lifetime.
The growth center of our body is the ‘visceral’ area, which includes the digestive system, and organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys – all of the organs that play a key role in the sustenance and regeneration of our body. The protection aspect of our body involves two facets: internal protection and external protection. The primary system with responsibility for internal protection is the immune system. Our external protection involves the somatic system, such as our arms and legs that enable us to respond to a ‘fight or flight’ situation.
Under normal circumstances, if our life situation is reasonably peaceful and we feel a sense of security, our body will be in a state of growth most of the time. However, if we are suddenly confronted with a dangerous situation, such as an earthquake, our body immediately shifts to a state of protection. This shift is initiated by our nervous system, working through our endocrine glands.
When our body shifts from a state of growth to a state of protection, we are impacted in three primary ways:
The flow of blood is constricted in our visceral area, and re-directed to our somatic system (arms, legs, etc.). Consequently, the functioning of our life-sustaining systems, such as our digestive system, is throttled back to a minimum.
Since the threat in the example of an earthquake is an external threat, rather than an internal threat, the immune system is essentially put on temporary hold in order to conserve energy and make it available for somatic activity. This is analogous to the situation involving a modern commercial airplane – just prior to heading down the runway for takeoff, the pilot turns off auxiliary systems such as the air conditioning, so that all of the thrust of the engines is available to support lift-off.
The blood flow in the brain is re-directed from the forebrain, where our rational thinking takes place, to the hindbrain, which involves our reflex responses. Since it is the frontal lobes of the forebrain that support rational thinking, when we shift into a state of protection, our ability to think logically is impaired. We frequently hear stories of experienced hikers who become lost in bad weather. If fear and panic overtake a hiker, they often do not make rational survival decisions. For example, they may continue to hike aimlessly as fast as they can to the point of exhaustion, rather than using their energy to build a shelter in which to wait out the storm.
If our body remains in a state of protection for a relatively short period of time, little damage is done to our internal growth-related processes. However, unlike each individual cell that at any point in time is either totally in a state of growth or state of protection, the collective of cells that constitute our body can exist in gradational states somewhere between total growth and total protection. This is the state in which we are likely to find ourselves if our life is regularly taxed under excessive stress.
For example, we know that under conditions of stress or turmoil, we frequently suffer from indigestion. We also know that during periods of stress, we are more likely to come down with a cold, or experience other aches and pains within our body.
We may, or may not be aware that our rational mind does not function as well under stressful situation. Since it is our rational mind that is the ‘observer’ of our thinking ability under such situations, the observer, itself, may not be able to observe clearly.
In his book, Dr. Lipton goes on to describe how this concept of ‘growth or protection’ affects the development of a fetus during pregnancy. The evolving fetus lives in the emotional field of the mother, and is dramatically impacted in its development by these emotions. If the mother’s emotions are normally peaceful and loving, then the forebrain of the fetus will develop in a normal, healthy manner. However, if the mother is frequently in a state of fear and anger, nature prepares the fetus to live in a correspondingly harsh emotional environment after birth. So it directs the hindbrain to be developed more fully, at the expense of the development of the forebrain. Dr. Lipton points out that the intelligence of a child can be affected by as much as 50%, depending on the emotional environment in which its development took place while in the womb.
Dr. Lipton’s work also provides important information for all of us as to how our body is affected by our thoughts and emotions. It carries an especially important message for young couples that are thinking about starting a family.

All the primordial vibrations responsible for every aspect of the physical and non-physical creation are located in the silence of one’s awareness just like a tiny seed that contains all the information it needs to bring forth a giant tree. This field of silence is not empty or chaotic but organized, purposeful, and active. It is made of invisible designs that are perfect and flawless, translating themselves into the building blocks of our physiology. It is here where the frequencies of primordial impulses – primordial sounds – become form, where ‘the word becomes the flesh’. Because the transformation of sound or vibration into form or matter begins on the level of our awareness, we can learn to correct any malfunction in the body merely through intent or desire.
We all ingest, metabolize, and become everything that we perceive within and outside ourselves. We literally become the thoughts we think, the emotions we trigger, the knowledge we understand, the sounds we hear, the shapes and colors we see, the air we breathe, just as we become the food we eat. Wherever your attention goes to, the mere mental contact with it absorbs its very essence and makes it an integral part of your life.
Through mere observation of natural scenery, you create the same healing effect within you that it (the scenery) generates for all the surrounding creatures. Looking at a sunset or a snow-covered mountain may have slightly different effects on each one of us yet its overall influence is soothing and calming. By contrast, you may figuratively become as cold and hard as a jungle of concrete and steel if you live in one or see it often enough. Studies conducted in American hospitals have revealed that patients staying in rooms that face natural scenery such as a lake, trees or mountains recover much faster and require less medication than those who face the lifeless scenery of concrete buildings or cannot look out of the window at all.
The vibrations emanating from sounds, words, colors, shapes or forms are waves of various lengths and frequencies. They are basic to all organic and inorganic life forms and have a profound influence on our lives, too. We merge with whatever we perceive through our mind, intellect or senses of perception. Waves not only play an important part in the world of physics, they are the basic energy patterns that make up our thought forms and feelings as well. They become part of us and form a new set of information in our awareness, which in turn can reshape our destiny on every level of life – physical, material, and spiritual. Sound waves have perhaps the most powerful effect on our well-being.
The World of Sounds
Every sound produces sound waves or disturbances in the air, which travel at about 332 meters per second. Through complex internal processes, we can pick up these sound waves through our ears and eventually perceive them in the cerebral cortex of our brain. Our brain is capable of receiving an enormous number of various kinds of sounds generated in our environment and, what is most intriguing: it can make sense of them. It knows how to differentiate all the numerous sounds and link them to our auditory memories. Some sounds are words, which we call language, others we call music, and again others we consider just noise.
Every sound that our brain cells perceive stimulates them to make neurotransmitters that subsequently translate these sounds into specific physiological responses in the body. For this reason, you may feel elevated and cheerful when you listen to your favorite music or you may become nervous and agitated when you hear the jarring noise of a machine or the scratching of a nail.
Some sounds affect different parts of the body more than others. Instrumental music for instance stimulates the right hemisphere of the brain and its related left side of the body more than it stimulates the left hemisphere and its related right side of the body. If vocals are part of the music, then the whole body is stimulated. All the cells in the body can ‘hear’ these sounds because they have receptor sites for the same neuropeptides that the brain makes when it perceives sound. This also means that the cells in our body are capable of producing the same chemical messengers as the brain and they use them to communicate with each other through sound.
Our skin, for example, is a very apt receptor for music. If sound waves reach and touch the skin, which they do when you listen to music, the skin cells respond by secreting ‘pleasure hormones’ and other chemicals that enhance immunity and vitality throughout the body, provided the music suits your psycho-physiological body-type. This fantastic ability of skin cells may be rooted in the fact that they are identical to brain cells, except that they die after one month whereas brain cells can live for as long as a hundred or more years. Some people report a pleasant tingling sensation running through their skin while listening to music. Jarring noise on the other hand can make your skin shiver and your hair stand on end. In that case, your skin cells make stress hormones.
There is ample evidence now that all the 60-100 trillion cells in the body listen to and respond to all the sounds we perceive (that includes the cells of a fetus carried in a mother’s womb). Harmonious and coherent sounds make you feel healthy and alive. For this reason, music has played a major role in all the cultures of the world, throughout time. Every culture has developed its own particular type of music to suit the specific requirements of the various geographic and climatic conditions in each area.
Music is not just a fundamental need of every culture but a physiological one as well. In the field of health, music has been found to reduce the time of recovery after surgery and to strengthen a patient’s ability to fight infection. Patients are found to need less medication for pain, fewer tranquillizers and sleeping pills when they listen to their favorite music. A large number of American hospitals are already using music for therapeutic reasons. There is music that can reduce appetite, lower blood pressure or induce sleep.
Of course, not all music triggers a healing response. There is a musical frequency for everything that exists, even to cause disease. If you regularly listen to hard rock music, your lymphocytes begin to drop in number, leaving you more prone to infection. Low-pitch sounds can make you feel sad and depressed. For this reason, funeral music uses low pitch sounds. On the other hand, high-pitch sounds can make you feel happy and enthusiastic.
Yet again, as is the case with every other external influence, the responses vary according to body type. If you are a Vata out of balance (impatience, anxiety) then slow, low-pitch music may benefit you more than fast, high-pitch music because it reduces hyperactivity and nervousness. A lethargic Kapha type, on the other hand, can do with lively high-pitch sounds to get his circulation and metabolic rate going. A fast tempo is likely to increase your heartbeat and an irregular tempo can cause an irregular heart rhythm and even lead to cardiac arrhythmia as seen in the cases of some pop singers.
The Body – A Symphony Orchestra
Medical research has revealed that each organ in the body creates a specific sound that can be amplified by highly sophisticated measuring devices. The liver, for example, produces a certain sound when it is healthy. If the liver gets diseased, it produces a distorted sound. If you play the recorded healthy sound back to the liver, it can be restored to health. The liver sounds are different from the sounds generated by the heart, the spleen, the lungs, or any other part of the body.
All the various types of cells make their own characteristic sounds. Their specific electrical broadcasts differ from each other with the frequencies they produce.
In the case of an infant the measurable frequencies range from 1,520,000 to 9,460,000 Hz (cycles per second). The lower end of this fairly high human frequency overlaps the radio frequency range of AM radio broadcasts, which are from 540,000 to 1,600,000 Hz; FM is 88,000,000 to 108,000,000 Hz, out of human range, which means that we cannot hear these sounds, at least not consciously.
As a whole, a healthy body ‘sounds’ like an enormous symphony orchestra with millions of different musical instruments. All disease processes begin with a distortion of these sounds and can lead to a near-total loss of synchrony as in the case of cancer or AIDS. Can you imagine a symphony orchestra with millions of instruments all playing out of tune? What is needed is a few master musicians and a conductor who can lead and coordinate all the other musicians.
Name and Form Relationship
There are several ‘master sounds’ that command the major functions of the organs and systems in the body, others control the tissues, and yet others are in charge of the body’s energy centers. These sounds are identical to the basic vibrational frequencies that the various parts of the body produce when they are in perfect balance. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, is one of the ancient sciences that knows of the therapeutic value of such primordial sounds.
Brain research has shown that the thought of an object such as an apple or an elephant and actually seeing it creates the same chemical changes and brain wave patterns. In other words, whether you think of an elephant or actually see one makes no difference with respect to the corresponding biochemical changes in your body. All material objects have their basis in non-material vibrations, i.e. sounds; and in truth, both kinds are inseparably one. In the not so distant future we will be able to make use of this intimate relationship of name (or sound) and form and spontaneously materialize an object such as an apple, an elephant, or even a diamond if need be. Today’s miracle will be tomorrow’s reality.
The situation is similar with Primordial Sounds. By using these sounds, you can restore the original forms and functions of the tissues, organs and systems. Regular use of the sounds can promote profound healing in body, mind, and spirit because they are projected from our own pure awareness or Higher Self. The sounds become the channels or beams of energy from our Higher Self and are used to perform their assigned duties and responsibilities. Not only does their regular use induce specific healing responses but it also stabilizes pure awareness and makes it increasingly available in daily life.

Anger or resentment can be caused by our inability to say “no” when we really don’t want to do something, but agree to do it nevertheless. Many of us feel obliged to say “yes” because we feel that it is expected of us. And if we say “no”, we may fear that this will cause problems in a relationship or we will no longer be liked or loved.
The ‘yes attitude’ may be a result of deep-seated beliefs and codes of behavior that are connected with education, religion, gender and class. If you perceive someone as being more powerful or influential than you, such as your boss, you are more likely to say “yes” to a request of his than if it came from someone who is an employee of yours. People who only say “yes” all the time often have low self-esteem.
Society may see them as the most selfless people who would do anything to help others. Their being selfless is, however, rather a sign of being low in self-worth. They sacrifice their lives for others so that they are loved and appreciated. However, these ‘saints’ often become martyrs. The typical character traits of their personality are self sacrifice, being a ‘good’ person, always friendly and happy-looking, never having time for themselves.
Over-caring is as harmful as is under-caring. Yet love is not about giving oneself away like a slave, this only causes resentment. It is more about honoring and appreciating one’s life so much that love simply spills over to others. For such a person, giving and sharing comes naturally without the need for acknowledgment.
Both “yes” and “no” are part of life. Say “yes” when it makes you feel good, but please say “no” when you do not want to do something. Going against your own gut feelings leads to conflicts and complications, whereas following them opens you to solutions and new opportunities.Even if you risk losing your job or breaking off a relationship, honoring your inner feelings will benefit you in the long run.
Self-honesty is the highest form of honesty and the only one that can bring you lasting happiness. Hiding your true feelings from yourself or others is an attempt of your ego to live up to an idealized image of yourself. Being honest with others means that you are not afraid to show them who you really are and what you really feel. As a golden rule, you can only be as honest with others as you are with yourself. Since our cultural upbringing has associated saying “yes” to being liked and saying “no” to being rejected or disliked, most people tend to prefer the ‘yes version’ of communication, especially when they relate to a boss or a person close to them. Unlike small children who do not hesitate to say “no” when they feel like it – they know instinctively that they are still loved by their parents – we have learnt to buy our love with the little word “yes”, yet this may make us increasingly resentful.
Saying “yes” when we mean “no” creates an internal conflict between what we really would like to do and what we are expected to do.Subtle blackmail, bribery and self-fulfilling rules and regulations formulated by parents, teachers and other authority figures have taught us to conform to manipulation. Saying “yes” seemed to be the only way to get what we wanted but we had to pay a price for it. Because we were afraid of facing the undesirable consequences that a “no” would have triggered, feelings of frustration, anger, insecurity, anxiety and guilt gradually began to replace our innate spontaneous ability to be carefree and honest. As we continued growing up, we increasingly adopted the same or similar methods of manipulating others.
The irony of all this is that other people prefer you to be straight and honest about how you really feel rather than to be given last minute excuses or resentful acceptances for, let’s say, an invitation. To say “yes” when you feel like saying “no” is called lying, but in reality, it is “self denial.” So the next time when you say “yes” but really feel like saying “no”, utter to yourself: “I have said ‘yes’ again when I didn’t truly mean it.” This will take your old unconscious ‘say yes’ pattern into your conscious awareness and allow you either to undo it and tell the truth or to transform it into a lesson of learning for yourself.
Becoming aware is the fastest way of learning from your emotions and a safe way to overcome emotional problems in life. Also, vigorous exercise can help you deal with repressed anger. It supports the body in its attempt to flush out the excess amount of noradrenalin – the chemical equivalent of anger. Exercise restores the chemical balance of the body and elevates your self-esteem. Talking to friends about how you feel, expressing your anger through writing or counseling, and minimizing it through meditation can all help in dealing with this unpleasant and destructive emotion. These methods act like letting the steam out of a pressure cooker, allowing you to gain deeper insights from your emotions.
Anyone who suffers from constant anger or frustration in life has accumulated large numbers of gallstones, both in the liver and in the gallbladder. One of the fastest ways of clearing old resentments and repressed anger is to eliminate all gallstones through a series of liver flushes. As long as bile ducts are blocked and bile flow is obstructed, energy and joyful feelings will be subdued, and anger and frustration will be exacerbated. Gallstones are a constant source of recurring irritation; by removing them, the above methods of dealing with emotions become much easier and more successful.

Depression afflicts millions of people in the industrialized world today. It impairs the digestive, nervous and circulatory functions in the body and depletes any remnant of joy and happiness. By itself, depression is not an independent emotion but is directly linked to repressed anger.
Traditional rules of social conduct promote the idea that it is better to conform to ‘proper’ behavior than to reveal one’s emotions, particularly anger. Many people have been brought up with the idea that anger is essentially bad and indicates an unbalanced personality. If you feel angry, then you should at least not show it. This unwritten law seems to apply even more to women than to men. It appears to be socially acceptable for a man to rant and rave, hurl objects about, shout at other people, and possibly become violent, but women are considered not ‘feminine’ if they do the same.
Many women have the tendency to become silent and withdrawn when they are angry. Their ‘quiet’ nature, though, is deceiving. Unknowingly playing the victim and allowing men to dominate their lives, they may do whatever their partner or husband wants them to do without asserting themselves. Instead, they feel tremendous rage inside and subsequently suffer from depression, which can lead to a nervous breakdown. There is enough clinical evidence now to show that depression is anger turned inwards. Unless anger is expressed in a positive, active way, it accumulates in a passive way and becomes the ‘emotion’ of depression. The effects can be devastating.
Dr. Philip Gold of the American National Institute of Mental Health was able to prove that stress and depression trigger the release of emergency hormones, causing brittle bones, infections and even cancer. Brittle bones are a major cause of death among women today. In many people, these stress hormones are no longer merely triggered occasionally but they are kept at constant ‘hyper-readiness’. When they are turned on and stay on for a long time, they destroy appetite, impair the immune system, block sleep, break down bone and shut down the processes that repair cell tissue. Research shows that chronically depressed women have high levels of stress hormones and enormous loss of bone density.
One particular study conducted at Ohio State University, USA, revealed that routine marital disagreements could trigger such hormonal reactions, especially among women. The stress hormone levels showed that women are more sensitive to negative behavior than men; hence, they are at much greater risk of becoming depressed and falling ill. According to the research, if the hormone levels stay up longer than they should, there is a real risk of infectious disease.
The latest findings in the field of Neuroscience have shown that levels of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that is linked to the experience of pleasure, are 20-25 percent lower in patients who are at high risk of suicide. Serotonin is particularly active in a part of the brain that controls inhibition, and a lack of the neurotransmitter, or its related chemicals, lowers the amount of control a person has over his actions. This predisposes a person to act on suicidal thoughts.
Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. According to the research, the tendency towards suicide may be aggravated by childhood experiences that can affect serotonin levels in the brain for a lifetime. In fact, people who commit suicide have a high rate of child abuse histories. Laboratory studies confirm that parental deprivation at critical points in childhood can diminish serotonin in an enduring way.
Social conditioning has taught many of us to repress anger right from the beginning of life. When small children don’t get what they want, they throw tantrums and are often told off by an angry parent. All the small instances of withheld anger or frustration build up to a highly explosive inner conflict, creating a strong chemical distortion in the body. Every new instance that triggers an emotional explosion reveals the entire past of unresolved conflicts. Anger, if it is dealt with before it turns into depression, can be a means of learning about the very weaknesses that we tend to project on others. Whenever you feel angry, you are never really angry with somebody else, but you are frustrated over your own inability to fulfill your desires, both past and present.

Every human being, regardless of the health problem or emotional difficulties he may experience, shares the mind-body relationship. You may have heard of ‘personality disorder’, a condition when a person accommodates up to a dozen different personalities in his physical body. Researchers and medical professionals are still puzzled by such occurrences.Women, who have three distinct personalities with different memories, feelings, and even language accents, are found to have three different menstrual periods in one month. Some of the afflicted persons may even change the color of their eyes as they make the shift from one personality to another.
Several years ago, a team of doctors in the United States studied the personality disorder of a young boy who was known to have twelve identifiable personalities. While experiencing one particular personality, the boy develops strong allergic reactions after drinking orange juice. In this state, his immune system regards orange juice as an allergen or ‘invader’. When the orange molecules contact the immune cells in his mouth cavity and intestinal tract, they begin to mass-produce antibodies to counteract the orange juice as if it were harmful bacteria. The abnormal reaction causes mouth swelling, skin eruptions, burning eyes, an asthma attack, migraine or diarrhea. After shifting to another personality, his immune system considers the same orange molecules to be ‘friendly’. Without any trace of sensitivity to orange juice, all the previous symptoms of the allergy will have disappeared.
It would be intriguing to find out which aspect of the boy’s personality triggers the allergy and which one turns it off again. However, even without knowing the cause of the allergy, we can say that a change in his thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, likes dislikes etc., which make up his personality, alters his body’s behavior so drastically that ingesting a few harmless orange molecules can lead to the destruction of his entire body.
A number of people with personality disorders suffer from insulin-dependent diabetes. Since their pancreatic cells (Islets of Langerhans) are no longer capable of producing enough of this vital hormone, the patients may require injections of insulin to keep the sugar level balanced. Conventional medicine assumes that with this form of diabetes (Type I) a large number of the afflicted pancreas cells are non-functional or quasi dead. However, after a sudden change of personality, these people no longer suffer from diabetes; their insulin levels are normal, and pancreatic cells are resurrected back to life.
One might consider this periodically occurring ‘resurrection’ of cells to be a ‘programmed miracle’, but it may be a far less mysterious phenomenon than that. The pancreas cells, which at one moment are in deep slumber and without a sign of life, the next moment, are awakened by a kind of alarm clock or a wake-up call. The sudden awakening to another personality or entity, which has a different mind with different feelings, emotions and memories, redefines the functioning of the entire body. That particular aspect of intelligence, which makes the pancreas cells tick, is active and awake when the corresponding state of mind is active and alive.
The phenomenon of personality disorders reveals a very simple but very important law of the body-mind. By avoiding a certain unresolved issue such as deferring a long due apology to a good friend or not talking to our partner about a problem that bothers us, we create a blockage in our mind that in due time begins to manifest also in our body, in our relationships and even in our environment. We cannot negate this intimate connection between body and mind, but we can use it as a tool to create a life that is perfect for our world and us. If only we could stop doubting that our mind is capable of creating anything at all, our lives would be full of miracles. Those with personality disorders, although they may not be aware of this, remind us that mind indeed rules over matter.
Note: As confirmed by my personal experiences with people who have multiple personalities, I believe that they are afflicted by soul entities that have not moved on to the ‘other side’ when their physical bodies died. Roaming the astral planes of existence, they seek to express themselves and their desires, frustrations and rage through a physical body, just as they used to when they were still alive (in human form). Through my healing system of Sacred Santémony, I have been able to remove these entities from the host, which resulted in the return of the original mono-personality. Most, if not all, bi-polar or schizophrenic personalities simply suffer from an invasion by one or several such entities, and their symptoms of mental disease vanish along with these entities.
