Georgina Cannon: About eight years ago, Robert came into my clinic office looking for help with anger management. He had inherited his parents’ business 18 months prior and discovered a temper that he didn't know he had. The trigger for his newly discovered anger was the bookkeeper, Helen, who he had inherited as part of the business. She had been there since it opened and had known Robert since he was four-years-old and seemingly treated him that way. "Every time I hold a staff meeting, and I want to bring forward new customer relationship protocols, she argues with me. Reminding me that the way my parents did it has worked well, so why change it. I feel she diminishes me in front of the staff and I get angry. The same thing happens every time. I apologized later, and the following day she brings me cookies to say sorry. I don't want

Suggested Exercise Prescription for the New Year Here we are at the start of another year, and I know that everyone has decided that this is the year that they will finally
Omtimes.com
make permanent changes in their lives concerning their health, right? And, this year will be different because you finally have everything in place. The kids have their schedules set, you have planned your meals, and you even have a good exercise buddy to set off the New Year with a bang. Accountability is everything! So, what is missing? What are the key ingredients to making and keeping those life changes that will resonate with good results the entire year and for years to come? Hold on and don’t fret. I have your first prescription for the new year.
The Prescription is Exercise Before starting any exercise program, it is essential to implement a good stretching protocol. A lot of people are unaware that stretching IS
a form of physical exercise. Specific muscles or tendons (or muscle group) are deliberately flexed or stretched to improve the muscles’ felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. This can make great contributions to increasing muscle output during exercise; especially strength training. How to Stretch: Start with stretching, every day prior to performing a single exercise. Whichever muscles you want to use that day, stretch them first. For a 20-second interval, hold with light, slow stretching is best as you take the muscle to its end range (the place where you feel the most resistance within a comfortable range). Threeto-four intervals of 20 seconds should do nicely. You can easily find videos of stretches online, along with exercises for each muscle group.

Touching Lives and Making Connections I hope that in the last two weeks, you’ve made time to express some feelings. It is important to touch lives by making a positive change in
Omtimes.com
one or more of your personal relationships. I believe it’s part of the bigger picture, which for the purpose of this article, and I’d like to call it “touching lives that matter.” As I believe that when you make a commitment to connect with people, you care about, you touch their lives in a way that not only matters to them but potentially has the ripple effect of touching others. When you make that commitment to remain connected, it sets the stage for stronger, more fulfilling relationships. By reaching out, it builds bridges and in some instances, repairs bridges that were broken or damaged by past disputes, past hurts, past disagreements or misinterpretations.
Remaining Close and Staying in Touch I know it can be difficult to remain close to everyone at the same time in this busy
world, with constant calls on our time, our energy, our love - all of which can easily drain our vital resource. But in making time for your loved ones and those who are important in your life demonstrates how important they are in your life. It shows our desire to be an equally important part of their lives. I liked touching lives to a game that I heard a while ago. It’s all about closing your eyes and having to touch four objects. The story goes like this. Imagine someone taking you by the hand and guiding you to various objects. You touch each, in turn, the first feeling “rough,” then “hard,” “cold” and the last being a ‘warm” object. The last object filled your body with warmth, permeating your whole body with a warm that made you feel a connection. When you open your eyes, you realize that you touched a packaged granola bar, stone, a granite

Can a Bad Person Benefit from Good Feng Shui? by Kartar Diamond
Can Good Feng Shui Overcome Bad Intentions? Because people often associate feng shui with spirituality, the question sometimes comes up as to whether a person with bad intentions can benefit from good feng shui. For instance, could a criminal living in a house that supports financial luck successfully continue to make more money through their illicit means? In 1996, I went to a home that was at the very end of a long cul-desac. When I knocked on the door, initially no one answered. Then I heard some muffled yelling. I Omtimes.com
knocked again, and I heard a woman screaming obscenities. I was a little concerned at this point but thought perhaps that she was expecting someone else and to not take the aggression personally. What I walked in on was, unfortunately, one of my more memorable clients, not in a good way. When I had spoken with her the night before, she told me she was an actress and then giggled right after she said that. I had understood this to mean that she might be a struggling actress, the plight of so many people in Los Angeles.
An Odd Encounter for a Feng Shui Consultant
Not Embarrassed by an Embarrassing Business
She told me to come in, and I sat down as she finished up berating a young man who left a few minutes later. She then turned to me to explain that she was “training” him, and this man was angry because he had mishandled one of her drug runs. At this point, I did seriously question why I was there and made a mental note of where the exits were.
Without embarrassment, she said that she wanted it to help increase her drug dealing and prostitution businesses. When I told her that the essence of feng shui is about balance and harmony and that what she does is not at all related, she then tried to gain my sympathy by stating that she was learning how to meditate and sort of trying to change her ways. I then agreed to proceed with the consultation, pretending as if she were a normal person.
Who would have guessed that a drug-dealing prostitute would want the services of a feng shui consultant? No one I knew had referred her to me. Ironically, she had picked up my business card at the legendary metaphysical bookstore, the Bodhi Tree in West Hollywood. Since the whole scene had quickly become quite surreal, I decided to just hang in there for documentary research and see if the negativity of the house matched the negativity of the client. I asked her why she even wanted a feng shui reading. She responded that she had heard feng shui principles help people make more money.
First, I noted that she had painted all the front windows over with red and blue paint (no curtains or blinds.) I told her that normal people would not want to do that because it made the house too dark and it can make people depressed to be in a chronically dark house. She responded with, “but we do bondage here and I don’t want the neighbors to see that!” “How about curtains or drapes so that you can control the lighting and open them up at least sometimes?” I might as well have told her to set fire to her hair because she couldn’t Omtimes.com
Stop Being Nice and Start Being Real by Marcia Sirota, MD.
Could It Be? Stop Being Nice! You might want to stop being nice, if you are hard-working, responsible, loyal and able to take initiative, but you aren’t managing to achieve that next level of success. There might be a simple answer to this problem. Omtimes.com
You love your children and care for them the best you can. But, you find that they’re defiant, oppositional, overly entitled or disrespectful. There’s probably a good reason for their bad attitude. If you are in a romantic relationship and you’re good to your partner, but they often take you for granted, don’t listen to you, or treat you in ways that make you feel less than special. You would probably like to change this dynamic between the two of you.
Stop Being Nice and Sabotaging Your Success I’ve noticed that many people are sabotaging their success in the workplace, as parents and in their romantic relationships, and they’re doing it with their habit of being too nice. This habit does the opposite of what they hope for, with their colleagues and supervisors, their children and their romantic partners.
If you’re being too nice in any of these aspects of your life, it’s most likely due to the mistaken idea that people-pleasing is the way to get people to like you and cooperate with you. Sadly, it doesn’t work that way. When you’re too nice in the workplace, people see you as weak and ineffectual. Peoplepleasing fosters disrespect and encourages people to take advantage of you, even bully you.
Start Being Real, Not a Buddy At home, being too nice to your children causes them to be more disobedient, because they see you as a buddy rather than an authority figure. Your children might like you, but they won’t listen to you. More often, though, they won’t even like you, as the lack of discipline could ultimately be perceived by them as a lack of love which could then lead

Living Life by Your Own Right by Baba Shuddhaanandaa Brahmachari
Who Is Flipping Your Switch? We are born to live our life by our own right. But we often give control of the switch that determines our moods and happiness
Omtimes.com
to those we are attached to, causing us much suffering in the end. Happiness that is dependent on how another perceives us, however exciting, does not last. True happiness is a state of liberty from dependence on others. The root is in our expectations. If we expect recognition and gratitude from others for what we did for them then we are heading for unhappiness. It is not in the nature of humans to be grateful. Happy people are those who find happiness in helping others and find joy in giving without the tag of expectations. Difficult? Well, isn’t it painful to live with complaints and frustrations?
Are You Stuck in a Negative Groove? Avoid words of complaining. Even if things are not up to our expectations, we need to try to create positive vibrations with our presence and good
words. What is the use of complaining when we are here to add positive vibrations, and not to intensify the existing negative situations of life? Be the positive force. If we are seeking happiness, then we find that in living a life of few complaints and more appreciation. People avoid the company of those who are always complaining and love those who are positive and share the beauty of life! One of the simple practices in the path to peace is to be very mindful about our natural tendency to find fault with others. This happens for each one us have our own tendencies, samskaras, and conditioning. It is only when we see something that contradicts our expectations that deep within we feel stress and fear. Reactions in most cases are instantaneous. But as we go through the pages of our own life story, we will

Human Accelerator Project Interview with Adam T. Gardener
The Building Envision of America’s Medicine Wheel. Architecture and designing habitat to a Living Portal into the next evolutionary leap of Consciousness for Mankind. Founder & Visionary, Adam T. Gardener explains to us, the next step on the Second Genesis and the Human Accelerator Project.
However, anyone defines or interprets the word “God” …I am certain we are Created in the Image of Something Vast & Infinitely Creative. That Image is Inscribed Upon our Genetics, encrypted onto Coiled Strands of an Infinitely Incomprehensible Mystery modern scientists call DNA/RNA.
OMTimes.com
Unlocking those Cosmic Keys, Activating DNA to Create a new Human Reality beyond the imaginings of mankind. This is the Vision and the Labor behind the building America’s Medicine Wheel. We live in extraordinary times, no Doubt! These “Times in which we Live” could be the Final Act in a Cosmic Drama played out over the last five generations.
It Begun as the Industrial age; this Age of All Ages, what Adam T. Gardener refers to as A Second Genesis Awakening Age; a moment in the Universal clock, the time of awakening to what We are at our deepest core. It is time to literally observe the creation happening in ourselves, as a new Human life free of sickness & disease…while we Labor to Become a Fullness of what it means to Be Human.
OMTIMES: The Medicine Wheel’s architecture is quite unique. It looks like an Architectural Mandala! Where did the design come from? Adam T. Gardener: It was an Evolutionary kind of event that happened on a trip to San Diego county looking for tropical varieties of date palms, mango trees, etc. On the construction site, I had just opened the excavation for one of the building’s pictured in a quadrant of the Medicine Wheel. OMTimes.com
There were only two building designs I was considering, each being shown in its own 1/4 section of the Wheel on the Rendering you now see the entire project. I had just left a small, five-acre nursery where I had sampled some bread dates on a palm no taller than 8’0”. Bread dates are normally quite dry but pulling a handful off the tree, putting one in my mouth…well, the experience was like being Rocketed into bliss and joy I had not known until this moment. The fruit literally melted into my entire Being within an Instant. It brought Tears to my eyes, overwhelming me with a passion to create greater space on site in Long Valley to as many tropical palm trees and other varieties as possible. As I was driving away from the nursery now imagining we needed several acres of greenhouse space, the “dream state” activated inside my cranial area, and I began seeing images of Architecture that you now see in the rendering. It was something that had happened before. The Dream State was activating while I was awake, so I wasn’t afraid or concerned while I pulled the truck over and finished watching the “movie” playing out inside my brain. It was quite a unique characteristic, to still see everything around you but overlaid on those tangible features is this semi-transparent theater being shown. The Experience was wonderful, electrifying. I was a little unnerved because of its design, but then my entire construction career had been working with large concrete
