We docs are in the service industry - it’s our job to love, nurture, tend, and care for you, and if we’re not doing that the way you deserve, you should fire our sorry asses!

How to Create Miracles in Your Everyday Life

The Miracle

“There are two ways to live: You can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein

10 Things I Learned from Healing an Incurable Disease

Meghan Telpner

Five years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a condition that is commonly believed to have no cure. I was given the options of surgery and medication for the rest of my life, still without the potential of a cure. My doctor told me that diet would have no effect and that I would have to learn to live with it.

How to Tell the Difference Between Lust and Love

love lust

Adapted from Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness 

As a psychiatrist, I’ve seen how intense sexual attraction is notorious for obliterating common sense and intuition in the most sensible people. Why? Lust is an altered state of consciousness programmed by the primal urge to procreate. Studies suggest that the brain in this phase is much like a brain on drugs. MRI scans illustrate that the same area lights up when an addict gets a fix of cocaine as when a person is experiencing the intense lust of physical attraction. Also in the early stage of a relationship, when the sex hormones are raging, lust is fueled by idealization and projection - you see what you hope someone will be or need them to be - rather than seeing the real person, flaws and all.

Meet Your Inner Pilot Light

 

Inner Pilot Light

If you’re a patient of mine, if you’ve been reading my blog, if you’re a student of the Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course, or if you read The Daily Flame, you’ve probably heard me frequently referencing your “Inner Pilot Light.” But someone who doesn’t know me well asked me flat out the other day, “Lissa, what’s an Inner Pilot Light?” And I realized I’d never really written a post about something that has become part of my everyday vernacular. So if you’ve ever been curious and you’d like to know more about this vital part of every single one of us, this post is for you.

The Doctor-Patient Relationship: Part Two

new medicine

Last week I wrote about the Doctor-Patient Relationship of the broken, outdated, patriarchal health care system of The Old Medicine.

Today, I’m going out on a limb to suggest a new kind of Doctor-Patient Relationship, the kind I practice and I hope others in the new Pink Medicine do too. Here goes nothing.

Why Wait for Science? ESP, Intuition, & Experiencing Life's Mystery Now

Monica Wilcox

I'm a lot like you, your All American gal who just happens to be intrigued with the "woo-woo": intuition, ghosts, mediums, astrology, holistic medicine and quantum physics. I consider the mystery floating around us to be reality's little bonus, like catching the unexpected sweet smell of flowers as you haul out the trash. Do I need science to confirm there are things we can't explain? No. But I do appreciate when a scientist braves untried waters, trying to prove bits of what we're experiencing everyday.  

A new study by Professor Daryl Bern, a well-respected Cornell professor. is about to be published proving that we have the ability to pick out a sexual photograph from a selection of non-sexual images -- without looking at them. As in, ESP. Apparently we've got skills that were never covered in grade school. 

Would you be surprised to know there is also a wall of resistance already building against this study? Why are so many of us still afraid of the mystery in our lives?

Are You Brave Enough To Be a Good Samaritan?

good samaritan

Last week, I was hiking with a new friend in my remote coastal Northern California town when we came across a guy who was hunched over in the weed with his bicycle and a skinned knee. He was fussing with a tool kit in his backpack and I asked him if he needed help. Turns out he was mountain biking with his buddy, when he blew a tire. Usually, he was able to fix his bike, but this time, it wasn’t working. His friend had ridden ahead to bike the 20 miles back home so he could get his car and come rescue his friend.

Without even thinking about it, I asked, “Can I help?”

He looked hopeful and lifted his eyebrows. I told him I had a car near the trailhead, not far from where we were. Then his brow fell. “Oh, I’d hate to trouble you, but my phone isn’t working. And I’d so appreciate the help.” (There’s no cell service where we were.)

“It’s no trouble,” I said. “I can take you to my place. I’ll make you some tea, and you can hang in the guest house, use the phone, and wait for your friend to come get you.”

So my friend and I helped him up, collected the pieces of his broken bicycle, loaded him into the car, and started to drive him home.

Wild Feminine: How To Connect Body AND Spirit

Wild Feminine

Please welcome fabulous new blogger, Tami Kent, a women's health physical therapist, founder of Holistic Pelvic Care for women, and author of Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit & Joy in the Female Body. Welcome, Tami!

It was the hot August night when I went into labor with my second son that my New York agent sent out my book proposal to 20 publishers. I felt like I was birthing twins, but I found out later that none of the publishing houses would take on the project. The details: I had given birth to a beautiful boy, I was writing a book that had no publisher. Sometimes we focus on the details instead of the journey, and in doing so end up feeling like we are failing on some level. How would I tell my baby to follow his dreams when my own creative dream had gone adrift?
