Notes:		Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water Reflections on Stress and Human Spirituality A special one-day intensive workshop with author Brian Luke Seaward, PhD: Saturday, September 10, 9 am – 5 pm On or before Sept. 9: $99 (Caritas members: $89) After Sept. 9: $125 (Caritas members $115) To register, call: 303.449.3066 Stress is a stranger to no one. Once described merely as wear and tear on the body, stress is now best defined as "a disconnection from our divine source." Times of stress may bring feelings of panic and mayhem, but stress also provides the opportunity for spiritual growth—when we call upon our inner resources (faith, patience, humbleness, intuition, courage, humor and compassion) to dismantle life's major roadblocks so that we may walk in balance on the human path. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that speaks to the nature of human existence, and underscores the importance of finding balance in our lives. It reads, "Stand like mountain, move like water." To stand like a mountain means to feel strong and secure in the midst of change. To move like water means to go with the flow. This workshop explores these topics: the relationship between stress and human spirituality, the seasons of the soul, spiritual potential and spiritual health, the use of "muscles of the soul" to dismantle roadblocks and distractions on the spiritual path and several effective life enhancing skills to navigate the shoals on one's life path, or what Joseph Campbell called "the Hero's Journey." Are the winds of change and the winds of grace one in the same? Perhaps! Based on Seaward's popular best seller, Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water, this presentation weaves theory and story, personal experience, coping and relaxation skills, humor, wit and love in a poetic synthesis that both educates and inspires audiences of all ages.

[AlternativeAnswers] Skin Care Tips

 

Skin care and cleansing routine

Skin cleansing is very much essential, because pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores, while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. Properly cleansing is the basis for healthy skin. A clean, cotton facecloth can be used to gently moisten the face prior to cleansing, but do not rub or scrub with it, which can irritate or dry your skin. A facecloth does not have to be used to properly cleanse your skin and is a matter of personal preference. A soft towel made of natural fiber should be put in service to dry the skin. Blot the towel over your skin, without rubbing or scrubbing, until your skin is smooth and dry to the touch. Drinking enough water and eating well-balanced meals can assist your body's system in internally cleansing skin care. Sometimes a toner or astringent is used to deep cleanse oily skin or skin with acne after the traditional cleansing routine. This removes oil that is trapped in the pores to leave a cleaner, smoother complexion.

A healthy lifestyle reflects on the skin so staying in good physical condition can aid in the the good appearance of the skin. There are two sets of glands found in the dermis the sweat glands and the oil glands. The sweat glands are employed in the elimination of the water-soluble cellular waste. The oil glands secrete oil, which lubricates the skin surface. This prevents the skin from excessive dryness and chapping. Blockages, congestion, over activity or under activity of these two sets of glands are considered the primary causes of our numerous skin problems. Moisturizing helps in keeping the moisture in the skin. The conditioning routine restores the acid balance on the skin and corrects other such imbalances.Oxygen is vital to the skin and blood cel1s carrying both oxygen and nourishment are circulated to every part of your body including the skin.

Skin Care Tips
1. Use sunscreen.
2. Get adequate rest and nutrition.
3. Protect from stress — both emotional and environmental stress.
4. Wash your face twice a day and put on the proper treatment product.
5. Don't neglect certain areas of the skin. Elbows, heels, neck, and decolletage need moisturizing.
6. Don't get too surgical on yourself. It's very tempting to pick, poke, squeeze, and scratch in front of the mirror.
7. Keep your makeup clean. Replace the sponges in your compact on a regular basis.
8. Exercise moderation. More exerise is not better.
9. Avoid direct sunlight and smoking.

Cleansing Skin Care Routine
1. Apply cleansers either with finger tips or on a moistened cotton-wool pad.
2. Apply using brisk small circles all over face neck
3. Around eyes on the bony part, outwards above the eye, towards the nose below the eye on the cheek bone.
4. Up the sides of the nose, up the bridge of the nose and outwards across the forehead.
5. Do not massage in, just thinly coat the face.
6. Gently remove with moist cotton-wool, using stoking movements in the same directions as when applying.
7. To remove eye make up; apply over the closed eye, gently patting not rubbing.

[AlternativeAnswers] Preparation for 2012: Envisioning the Highest Possible Outcome, 9/1/2011, 6:00 pm

Reminder from:		AlternativeAnswers Yahoo! Group
Title:		Preparation for 2012: Envisioning the Highest Possible Outcome
Date:		Thursday September 1, 2011
Time:		6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Location:		The Caritas Spiritist Center, 5723 Arapahoe Ave., #1A, Boulder, CO 80303
Notes:		Preparation for 2012: Envisioning the Highest Possible Outcome Weekly Meditation, beginning Thursday, Sept. 1, 6 - 7 pm The Caritas Spiritist Center 5723 Arapahoe Avenue, Suite 1A Boulder, CO 80303 303-449-3066 * www.CaritasSpiritistCenter.org In a recent intuitive writing session at Caritas, the message that came through from our spirit mentors included the following: "...Meditation is of utmost importance at this time in order to maintain your connection [to Spirit], as well as to counterbalance the chaotic energies in the environment and culture. [There is an] intensity that constitutes the 'labor pains' of giving birth to a new awareness of reality on a collective scale. There are those forces that would sabotage this shift by generating events and mindsets that promote fear rather than love. "Remain rooted in, and conscious of, the Love that exists in your lives and in each person... Seek to infuse that Love into every conversation, every thought, action and intention throughout the day. Create opportunities within normal interactions, to radiate loving energy and thoughts to reinforce each others' efforts in this regard." In this weekly, silent meditation, we will join together to promote energies of compassion, healing, harmony, understanding, and above all, LOVE, to encompass the planet and all its inhabitants at this critical time. The purpose is to elevate the individual and collective vibrational frequencies so as to contribute our efforts toward the possibility that the planetary shift we are undergoing will result in an evolutionary leap in consciousness. Our intention, along with many other groups around the world, is to provide an infusion of loving, Source energy to ensure the highest possible outcome. Please join us. The collective energy we can generate as a group is a great deal more than the sum of its parts. Free: all welcome
