These 3 Simple Tips Can Boost Your Health And Fitness

Grin and bear it.
Sure, you can whistle while you work—if you have very chill office mates. But it turns out the real payoff comes from smiling while you sweat. By switching that pain face to a pleasant grin, you may feel stronger. One study from the University of Cambridge found that people judged boxes they lifted as lighter if they had a happy outlook. Show us that smile!
Ice Queen
If an Indian summer is killing your autumn running vibes, reach for the cold stuff. Research from the University of Birmingham found that when runners’ skin was cooled (with ice packs or submersion in cold water), they were able to run faster in hot weather—shaving as much as 31 seconds off a 5K! When temperatures creep north, try this trick: Rub an ice cube on your wrist and neck before you run and watch your splits go south.
Pass the veggies.
Studies show that eating with friends and family improves happiness, combats depression and lowers stress. On the flip side, it can be tough to make healthy choices when communal meals mean happy hour nachos and wings. Solution? Host a dinner party—invite your running buddies over and ask everyone to bring a seasonal dish. You’ll do something great for your mind, body and spirit—plus you’ll have an excuse to see each other in something besides sweaty clothes

Case Profile: Edgar Cayce

By -
Image
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) became known as an American mystic and "psychic diagnostician" healer following hypnotic sessions where he would go into a trance and his body would be used as a channel.   The communicating Intelligence would speak in plurality, usually beginning a 'reading' with a statement such as "We have the body . . ." and finishing upon saying "We are through for the present."  I first learned about Cayce through reading Jess Stearn's biographies Edgar Cayce — The Sleeping Prophet (1967) and A Prophet in His Own Country — The Story of the Young Edgar Cayce (1974).  The first biography to be written about Cayce is There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce (1943) by Thomas Sugrue, whose book heightened public understanding about Cayce during the final years of his life.  Sidney Kirkpatrick's Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet was published in 2000. Since 2005, I've occasionally studied portions of the extant 14,306 Cayce

Feedback in Three Steps

By -
© 2003, Coert Visser As a manager you have just led a meeting. John brought forward a proposal to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. He did this convincingly and enthusiastically but seemed to leave very little room for his colleagues Michael and Peter to respond. You want to talk to John about this...but how? Feedback is essential Giving and getting feedback is essential. The fact is, no matter how hard we try, we don’t always automatically perform excellent. We need information from others to know what is expected from us, how others perceive us, what we do well and what we should do better. Sometimes others have more expertise or skills, they look at your behavior from a different angle, and they may have access to different information. When feedback functions well in an organization, people are interested in signals about the effects of their behavior and they constructively correct each other. Fantastic! But now the less rosy daily practice.….. Feedback ca

Esoteric Aspects of Edgar Cayce's Life

Gladys Davis, Hugh Lynn Cayce (right) and Harmon Hartzell Bro were among the members of this A Search for God study group meeting at A.R.E. Headquarters at Lake Holly in 1950.  This photo is from Edgar Cayce's Photographic Legacy (1978) compiled by David M. Leary. Some of Edgar Cayce's psychic (channeled) readings diagnosed and prescribed for people's physical ailments and disturbances.  These were described by Thomas Sugrue in There Is A River (1942) as presenting "cases, hundreds and hundreds of them, wherein the treatments have been faithfully followed, and the predicted results have been achieved." When information that was sought wasn't successfully forthcoming (such as locations for lost treasure or oil wells), Cayce and his associates were baffled.  These circumstances are chronicled in the book The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power (1971) by Edgar's sons Edgar Evans Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce.  One chapter, "Readings for the Dead,"
