Discount On Services For Law Enforcement

They are supposed to stand tall and stoic against the hazards and risks often involved in their work. Yet police officers are faced with pressures, strain, and tension that most of us will never have to confront.

In order to be competent in their jobs, many officers form a tough mental defense, concealing their feelings, and suppressing their emotions. Every day emotions that are typical of human nature, such as fear, anger, and even empathy are held back all in a desire to protect and serve the rest of humanity.

They say it takes 21 days to create a habit. But what happens when the unconscious habits necessary to perform well on the job becomes so automatic that it spreads to one’s personal life? Hiding, dismissing, and avoiding these issues, over time, means that many go unresolved. This sometimes leads to trouble with relationships, and emotional or mental overload. It’s no wonder that police offers have a higher divorce rate than the rest of society, and that fewer cops are killed in the line of duty than by their own hands. The suicide rates for those in law enforcement are staggering. It’s sad that so many, often times, will turn to alcohol and other destructive behaviors just to cope with the burdens and demands associated with the work they do.

I got this recipe from a friend a while back. Of course, like usual, I will sometimes add a few more spices and herbs, but this is a really great start. Enjoy

Falafel Balls (Recipe)

I absolutely love Middle Eastern food, and this recipe for falafel that I found online (and changed up a bit, as I always do) is absolutely divine! I tend to be one of those cooks, like my Grandma, who throws in whatever I happen to have on hand that sounds good at the time, and hope for the best. I encourage you to experiment, just as I do. You may find that adding some new or different, makes it even better!

Falafel balls

• 1-1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (cooked from dry, or canned, drained)
• 1/4 cup whole wheat or chicpea flour (I prefer the latter)
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
  Note: Sometime I also add fresh basil, sage, oregano – whatever herb sounds good to suit your taste.
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon minced onion
• 1 Tablespoon Bragg Seasoning
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt crystals

Playing Big

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not in just some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

“Self-Hypnosis, Group Sessions and CD’s”

There are many schools of thought out there on the subject of hypnosis. While I certainly respect the viewpoints of others, recently I have been flooded with inquiries as to my views on self-hypnosis and group sessions. Because I believe this to be an important topic of discussion, I felt it necessary to share it here. By no means do I feel that my opinions must be shared by all.

Is fear keeping you from fully enjoying your life?

Fear is a fantastically powerful human emotion. As one of the basic survival instincts we were programmed with from birth, fear triggers the nervous system, priming us to react by taking physical action. In this reaction, commonly referred to as “fight or flight,” the body is flooded with hormones, including adrenaline, that aid in defending itself from harm.

Stuffed Portabella Caps (Recipe)

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes! One of the reasons I love it so much is that even just a little bit fills me up and keeps me going for a hours. This is seriously a flavor explosion in your mouth! However, I will suggest being very sparing with the Bragg seasoning. It’s flavor is very strong and a little goes a long way. You can always add more if necessary.

Stuffed Portabella Caps

Ingredients:

8 small-med. portabella caps, or 2 large caps
1 whole avocado
1-2 limes (juiced)
l/4 cup onions, diced (I like red onions for this)
1 tomato, diced (optional)
1/8 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt
Bragg Liquid Aminos

Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, and Sugar – Physically Addictive Foods

I found this 40 minute video on google a while back and thought I would share it here. Dr. Neal Barnard, MD, is a great speaker, and has a way of making what could be a complicated discussion on the chemistry of the human body, an entertaining and informative dialogue.

Weight Loss with Hypnosis

Many who have not been successful with losing weight or getting in shape in the past have turned to hypnosis as a safe and reliable alternative to crash diets, medications, and even surgery. In fact, after making changes and achieving the body they’ve been dreaming of, most wonder why they didn’t chose hypnosis first!

Whether you want to lose weight, or simply get in better shape, hypnosis can help.
