THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN NOTE

The Power of the Written Note

by Julie Peterson

Birthdays, weddings, holidays and other momentous occasions have long been celebrated with cards and letters. The rise of emailing, texting and social media has made writing letters a forgotten treasure as many of us have instead come to use quick but fleeting messages via technology. Perhaps it’s time to bring back the nostalgia, the handwriting and a box full of stationery for all occasions. A handwritten note ensures someone will know we took the time to think, write and send. Here’s how to get started. Stock Supplies: Nothing inspires writing notes more than a box or drawer full of inviting cards and paper. Cards that are blank inside are multi-purpose. Stickers and beautiful postage stamps can make an envelope look like a gift. Get a few good pens in a variety of colors and start writing. Be Thankful: After receiving a gift or an act of kindness, send a thank-you card or letter. Do it soon after the event, so that the memory is fresh and the note will contain specifics. But even if it’s for something that took place farther in the past, “better late than never” certainly applies.

Talk-Write: Don’t get stuck when pen hits paper, just imagine what would be said out loud and write those words. Our words won’t sound like the poem in a store-bought card, but words from the heart are better because they are personal and likely more meaningful to the recipient. The reader will hear the writer’s voice in the note. Be honest and sincere.

Write and Repeat: Make writing a habit by sending three notes each week. If nothing spurs a thank-you, then send a card just to say hello or give appreciation. Perhaps it’s a “remember when” or an “I miss you” note. Browse through contact lists to get inspiration. If nobody strikes a chord for a note, write a self-praise letter. Be sure to list your best and most lovable qualities and put it in the mail. It will be a nice warm-fuzzy surprise when it arrives. These kinds of letters and cards are like loving hugs. For some, a sweet note via mail or tucked somewhere to be discovered may be a much needed joyful spark.

THE AFTERLIFE FREQUENCY

THE AFTERLIFE FREQUENCY: The Scientific Proof of Spiritual Contact and How That Awareness Will Change Your Life

by Mark Anthony, JD Psychic Explorer®

World-renowned 4th generation psychic medium and Oxford educated attorney Mark Anthony bridges the divide between faith and science in this fascinating afterlife exploration taking you around the globe, from the cosmic to the subatomic, into the human soul itself. Combining physics, neuroscience and riveting true stories this book:

• Reveals how our “Electromagnetic Soul” is pure eternal energy which never dies. • Takes spirit communication, near-death experiences, and deathbed visions out of the shadows of superstition and into The Light of 21st Century Quantum Physics. • Teaches Anthony’s “RAFT Technique” to Recognize contact with spirits, Accept it as real, Feel it without fear, and Trust in the experience. • Provides hope for victims of grief, homicide, suicide, PTSD and survivor’s guilt. • Illuminates how contact with spirits is a powerful instrument of healing and love.

“ “To put it bluntly, this is an amazing book that deserves to be enjoyed by millions of readers.”

Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, Director of the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health, University of Arizona and author of “The Afterlife Experiments”.

“Mark Anthony shows that while we cannot control death, we can control how we understand and react to it in healthy ways.”

Bruce Greyson, MD, co-founder of IANDS and author of “After: A doctor Explores what Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond”

Mark Anthony, JD Psychic Explorer® author of The Afterlife Frequency and his other best sellers, Never Letting Go and Evidence of Eternity is cohost of The Psychic & the Doc on The Transformation Network and columnist for Best Holistic Magazine. He appears nationwide on TV and radio as an expert in spirit communication, near-death experiences, paranormal phenomena and as a legal expert.

People struggle with stress on a daily basis, not realizing it impacts more than just our emotional health. The more stress you have the more you will experience things like tight muscles, neck pain, and headaches. Numerous studies have been done linking stress to physical ailments and condition. Stress can also cause dental and jaw problems clenched jaw and bruxism, or teeth grinding. According to the Academy of Dentistry as many as one in three people have bruxism, although they may not even know it. Often jaw clenching and teeth grinding are unconscious movements, so people don’t realize that they are grinding their teeth or that their jaw is clenched tight for long period of time.

These symptoms only get worse at night while people sleep.

Your body holds onto that stress if not released and one’s mind starts to race, before you know it you’re clenching and grinding your teeth. Serious dental issues could start forming doing this over time such as the appearance of flat, chipped and broken teeth. Cheek damage, headaches, jaw misalignment and pain, neck pain, tooth sensitivity and worn tooth enamel are some other signs of clenching and grinding. Inflammation is responsible for a large range of health problems, including inflammation of the gums which can cause pain and oral problems like gum disease and tooth decay. Inflammation can be localized or widespread throughout the body, but it can trigger problems anywhere in the body. That’s because your body releases a specific hormone, cortisol, to help mitigate stress. When your body goes into “fight” mode your endocrine system pumps out cortisol and floods your body with it. Cortisol’s job is to act as an anti-inflammatory. It’s supposed to help you stay calm and not freeze in the face of danger. Too much cortisol works the opposite way and makes people anxious and causes inflammation. Saliva plays a significant role in maintaining oral health. Saliva keeps our mouth from drying out and it washes away the food debris and particles that can lead to tooth decay and gum inflammation. There are many different factors that can cause the body to not produce enough saliva, including dry air, allergies, dust, mouth breathing, illness and medications. Most people don’t realize that posture has a direct impact on oral health. When you’re sitting hunched over with your neck pushed forward or not standing up straight you are putting an enormous amount of pressure on your jaw and causing misalignment of both your jaw and teeth. Doing either of those for hours a day every day can cause jaw and facial pain as well as throw off your bite. When our bite is not properly aligned we then put stress and wear on our teeth that can lead to bruxism as well as broken or shipped teeth. Adding yoga into your daily routine can help counter the impact of daily bad posture. Yoga poses and stretches can realign your head and neck as well as strengthen your back and your core so that you can sit up straight and keep your body in good alignment even when you are sitting all day. Yoga will also relieve tension in your muscles and soft tissue so that it’s easier for you to maintain good posture throughout the day.
