“Values heavily influence the practice of health habits. For example, exercise for women may be considered desirable in one culture but undesirable in another.(Donovan, Jessor, Costa, 1991) As a result, patterns among women will differe greatly between two cultures.” MayTwoValuesCultureResultsPracticeInfluenceExampleHabitExercisePatternsDesirableUndesirableTwo Cultures Author:Shelley E.

“To find Buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a Buddha. If you don't see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings, and keeping precepts are all useless. Invoking buddhas results in good karma, reciting sutras results in a good memory, keeping precepts results in good rebirth, and making offerings results in future blessings-but no Buddha.” IfsWisdomMemoriesResultsPracticeBlessingKarmaUselessOfferingRebirthGood MemoriesRecitingGood Karma Author:Bodhidharma

“Many people forget that magick is all about change, and the greatest change is the inner, not the outer, landscape. Outer magickal changes - such as immediately getting a new job, lover, or physical healing - seem more impressive at first, but the inner changes last longer. They are the most impressive. Anyone can learn to do some basic spells and have good results, but the practitioners who develop a solid spiritual and magickal practice become more centered, calm, healthy, and truly confident over time are the magicians who impress me.” PeopleFirstsSeemsJobsLastsSpiritualForgetResultsHealingPracticeLoversHealthyCalmLandscapeSpellsImpressMagicianImpressiveNew JobPhysical Healing Author:Christopher Penczak
“The nation as such is not a large subject that has needs, that works, practices economy, and consumes. . . .

“When a livestock farmer is willing to "practice complexity"-to choreograph the symbiosis of several different animals, each of which has been allowed to behave and eat as it evolved to-he will find he has little need for machinery, fertilizer, and, most strikingly, chemicals. He finds he has no sanitation problem or any of the diseases that result from raising a single animal in a crowded monoculture and then feeding it things it wasn't designed to eat. This is perhaps the greatest efficiency of a farm treated as a biological system: health.” NeedsLittlesHas BeensDifferentProblemAnimalResultsPracticeWillingDiseaseTreatedBehaveComplexityFarmsChemicalsFarmersEfficiencyFeedingMachineryCrowdedFertilizerSanitationLivestockSymbiosisDifferent AnimalsMonoculture Author:Michael Pollan

“We can change our thinking. Rather than viewing the chemical adulteration of our environment and our bodies as the inevitable practice of convenience and progress, we can decide that cancer is inconvenient and toxic pollution archaic and primitive.
