Just a quick post to let you know about Donna Eden’s 10-Day Joy Challenge, which starts tomorrow, June 1st. I’m not familiar with this specific energy routine of Donna’s, but I have done her 5-minute energy process off and on for a number of years, and recently featured it on Self-help Health when she offered a free 10-day challenge that focused on it. The 10 days was enough to get me back to doing the routine on a regular basis, because I could tell my physical, mental and emotional bodiesfelt better and more balanced by the end of it.
Anyway, I did a YouTube search to see if I could find an example of what the Joy Routine is going to be like and came up with this video from a previous challenge Donna hosted. Some of the moves are similar to the 5-minute energy process and it looks like the routine, once you know the various parts, will take only a few minutes to do, so I signed up for the 10 day challenge.
I have to saythatI really respect what Donna has done for the world of energy medicine and all the years she’s been helpingour bodies be healthier and more in balance. However, I’m not really a fan of her or her daughters’ delivery styles, which seem a little over the top and hyper to me, but maybe that’s just because I’m sort of laid-back and low key by nature and they’re always revved up from doing so many different energy routines . HA! So I don’t let the messenger(s) keep me from receiving the message. 🙂
If you’re interested in joining the challenge, and I think you’ll be glad you did, see Eden Method’s invite below and sign up asap, since it starts June 1st….
Do you sometimes find it hard to muster enthusiasm, hope, or joy?
You might be feeling just a little exhausted. Perhaps overwhelmed. Or even depressed.
That’s natural when your body and mind are under on-going stress.
Stress robs you of your joy.
And that’s NOT all in your head.
It happens energetically.
The good news is that joy can be generated even when things around you aren’t so great.
Like everything else in your body, joy (and wonder and awe) are energetic. They are carried in an energy system called your Radiant Circuits.
And when you’re stressed, it’s hard for the Radiant Circuits to source enough energy to light you up – making it difficult to access that inner spark of joy.
That’s why Donna created a Joy Routine.
It’s a simple routine that builds an energetic habit of joy when done repeatedly.
Donna is challenging all of us to do her joy routine for 10 days in a row so that we can collectively move out our stress and let inour joy.
P.S. The Joy Challenge is completely free. From June 1st thru 10th we’ll send out the same routine taught by a different teacher, every day, so you can follow along. The goal is to master a simple routine that will begin to lower your stress and turn on your joy. Since we know it’s not easy to make space in your day for self-care, we are “challenging” everyone to do it for just 10 days and you can access the replays anytime. You can unsubscribe from the challenge at any time.

“Remember, there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” SCOTT ADAMS
“Random Acts of Kindness” Day may be on a Friday this year, but the organization behind it hopes to remind you that being nice is an everyday endeavor.
Of course, being kind to people regularly is simply a great thing to do. However, research shows that those who help others reap a lot of benefits for themselves, too!
A “helper’s high”
According to research, placing the well-being of others ahead of our own without expecting anything in return, or being altruistic, stimulates the reward regions of the brain. Those feel-good molecules flood our bodies, causing a “helper’s high.” Volunteering, for example, has been proven to reduce stress and boost mood.
Not only that, but the same activity can lower the chance of cognitive deterioration and potentially help us live longer lives.
According to researchers, one reason for this is that compassion helps our sense of community and belonging. Studies show that this is a vital factor in living a healthier, longer life.
Lower blood pressure
Donating to others, often known as “prosocial spending,” has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure and improve heart health. In one study, hypertensive persons were instructed to spend $40 on themselves, while another group of people with high blood pressure were instructed to spend the money on others.
At the end of the six-week research, individuals who spent money on others had lower blood pressure. In fact, the advantages were comparable to those of a good diet and exercise.
Pain reduction
According to a recent study, giving appears to have the power to lessen our experience of pain. The study discovered that those who offered to donate money to help orphans were less vulnerable to an electric shock than those who opted not to. Furthermore, the less pain people felt, the more useful they believed their donation would be.
Why does this happen? The study discovered that parts of the brain that respond to painful stimuli appear to be quickly deactivated by the experience of giving.
Happiness
Researchers in the United Kingdom discovered that being kind can enhance happiness in as little as three days. The participants were divided into three groups: the first was required to perform an act of kindness every day, the second attempted a new activity, and the third did nothing. Happiness increased significantly in the groups that were kind and did novel things.
Thus, it comes as no surprise that you’ll feel much more joy if you’re inventive with your acts of kindness. Happiness researchers Sonja Lyubomirsky and Kennon Sheldon found that those who committed a range of acts of kindness throughout the week saw bigger improvements in happiness than those who repeated the same activity.
More good news? It appears that acts of kindness can be anonymous or apparent, spontaneous or planned, and as easy as complimenting someone or opening a door for them.

I think most of us have come to believe that laughter truly is good medicine, but I found this article especially interesting and enlightening as far as the different statistics between men and women, plus how it helps improve memory.Can’t think of a better way to improve my health, longevity and memory recall, as well as have a more fun-filled holiday season! 🙂
Laugh a Lot, Live Longer
Legendary comedian Bob Hope lived until 100, while comedienne Phyllis Diller enjoyed life until the ripe old age of 95.
Sitcom favorite Dick Van Dyke is still active at 94, as is movie comedy-maker Mel Brooks. And beloved actress Carol Burnett is following close behind, still cracking jokes at 87.
These are just a few of our comedy legends who lived well beyond the average life expectancy. It makes you wonder, what’s their secret?
Good genes, education and financial wealth may help these funny folks tip the longevity scales, but the latest research reveals another important factor that’s attainable by anyone: a sense of humor.
A large study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine reveals that women with a good sense of humor live longer, despite illness such as cardiovascular disease and infection. Their male counterparts also seem to be protected against infection.1
Your Body and Mind Love a Good Joke, Research Proves
Norwegian researchers conducted a 15-year study exploring the connection between sense of humor and mortality among 53,556 women and men in their country.
The team analyzed the cognitive, social and affective factors of humor that were addressed on the participants’ questionnaires.
Next, the researchers assessed death from specific conditions including heart disease, infection, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In a nutshell, the study shows that the greater the role humor plays in the participants’ lives, the better their chances of surviving until at least 70 years.
They found that women with high “humor scores” in the way they view everyday life– called the cognitive component in the study– experienced:
A 48 percent lower risk of death from all causes;
A 73 percent lower risk of death from heart disease;
And a notable 83 percent lower risk of death from infection.
These are substantial reductions in chronic disease and death!
But what might be most interesting is that these results did not completely translate to men.
In this study, men with a high humor score did have a 74 percent reduction in death from infection (compared with women’s 83 percent reduction.) But they did not have a lower risk of premature death from all causes.
What’s going on with these results?
The authors were equally baffled, but they suggested that any gender differences in the results may be because as men age, their humor scores dip slightly. (Don’t tell Mel Brooks that, though!)
Good Humor Positively Affects How You View Life
According to the authors, the cognitive component influences the way people view everyday experiences. It stands to reason that humor can serve as a buffer against the stressful situations of daily life and protects one’s health.
Additional research confirms the study findings that laughter is the best medicine.
A laugh does your heart good. A 2009 study at the University of Maryland Medical Center revealed that laughter and an “active sense of humor” can protect against a heart attack and prevent heart disease. The cardiologists discovered that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to exhibit good humor in a variety of daily life scenarios when compared to their peers without heart disease.2The researchers believe that laughter decreases blood pressure and improves blood circulation and oxygen intake.
Humor helps manage pain. Remember the movie Patch Adams, featuring Robin Williams? Based on a true story of a doctor who used humor to help his patients heal, it underscores how humor can be a great pain reliever even in a hospital setting. Studies suggest that laughter triggers the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being, and even a reprieve from pain.3 What’s more, laughter also decreases the stress hormone cortisol so inflammation is minimized throughout the body.
Laugh more, remember more. That’s right, research shows that the more you laugh, the better your memory. Loma Linda University researchers dug into this premise in a 2014 study.4They examined the stress levels and short-term memory of 20 healthy adults in their 60s and 70s. One group was asked to sit in silence with no communication. The other group got to watch funny videos. According to the researchers, the “humor group had much higher improvement” in the ability to remember things. They experienced 43 percent better memory function following the funny videos compared to only 20 percent in the group that had to sit in silence before their cognitive testing.
I think the ability to laugh at ourselves as we age is so important, not only for our physical health but our mental health, too. Over the years I’ve talked to numerous alternative doctors, including many that treat cancer. They almost always tell me that attitude is vital to any recovery from diseases like cancer.
In fact, I recall one story where a cancer patient claims to have healed his cancer by watching old television comedies all day long for weeks on end! So, it stands to reason that good humor and laughter would also improve our lifespan.
These findings echo other research that we’ve explored on this site. Basically, those people who are positive, laugh easily and don’t take themselves too seriously seem to fare well in the longevity department.
If you aren’t feeling all that funny, try watching your favorite comedy on TV, or call a friend who never fails to make you chuckle. Laughing just feels good and best of all, one laugh seems to lead to another.

I don’t know about you, but the last couple of months have seemed especially tough on my nervous system and my emotions have been all over the place. So I was happy to be reminded in an e-mail from Astrid at FlowsForLife.com of this wonderfully easy JSJ energy routine to help bring a greater sense of balance and harmony to my body, mind and spirit!
Jin Shin Jyutsu Mediator
Something happens or someone says something and I find myself reacting badly. Or I overreact. I just can’t help myself! Not only that: insignificant things become big issues, and I am left feeling mentally, emotionally and physically drained. The good news is that harmony can be restored with this Jin Shin Jyutsu Mediator self help exercise.
But first: A bit about the ‘Trinity’ energies
Mediator energies are very closely related to the Trinity. These are Main Central and Left and Right Supervisor energies.
Main Central is the energy that connects each one of us to the Universal Source of Life. It flows down the front and up the back of the body in an oval, keeping us harmonized with source energy. I often describe it as the trunk of the tree. Because of this, it regenerates all of our other individualized energy functions. To harmonize Main Central you can simply do the Main Central Exercise.
If Main Central is the trunk of the tree, then the Left and Right Supervisor are the two main branches. The Left Supervisor ‘supervises’ the left side energies. It flows down the front and up the back of the left side, also in an oval pattern. The same happens on the right side of the body. There is a simple exercise to harmonize the Left and Right Supervisors.
So again, Main Central along with the Left and Right Supervisor form The Trinity.
On to the Diagonal Mediators
The Diagonal Mediator Energies ensure that the left and right side energies of the body are in balance. In essence, they ‘mediate’ between the two sides, making sure that left and right side are also in harmony with Main Central.
Mary Burmeister wrote: “It is of vital importance to keep [The Mediator] functioning properly for the total supply of energy to the whole man.”
What happens when Mediator is not harmonized?
Mary also said that ‘this energy is the cause for disharmony in the body’. Let’s look at that in more detail.
Fundamentally, attitudes are at the root of all disharmony. By attitudes I mean Worry, Fear, Anger, Sadness and Trying To’s (or Efforting).
These attitudes are born at the level of the Mediator energy.
The way I see it is that we all experience emotions such as Worry, Fear, Anger, Sadness and Trying To’s – we are human after all. It’s when we get ‘stuck’ in one of these emotions that they become an ATTITUDE.
How does that feel, to get ‘stuck in an emotion’? Well, I feel angry all the time. I am reactive and I overreact. I worry all the time and I just can’t stop. I’m anxious about everything. The smallest thing makes me cry. Life isn’t fair! Life isn’t fun! And on and on. You get the picture.
It’s pretty draining, isn’t it? Can’t think straight, let alone find the energy to function optimally from day to day.
Exhaustion is also a good indicator that mediator is overloaded.
Jin Shin Jyutsu Mediator also helps
So apart from balancing the emotions, it also helps take fatigue out of the body. Great for allergic reactions, especially if they affect the nose and eyes. Use it when your shoulders are tight and achey.
Self help exercise to harmonize Mediatorenergies
The following self help exercise harmonizes Left and Right Diagonal Mediator energies. Practice it every day for a few minutes or for as long as you like! Start with the side that you feel is the most tense. If you don’t know which side that is, then start with the left Mediator.
I find it really comfortable to do this exercise while lying in bed and placing pillows and cushions where I need them.
The left Mediator flow: Place the right hand over the left shoulder and place the left thumb over the left ring fingernail. At the same time, bring the knees together. Relax the hands. Hold for 3-5 minutes, or longer, until you feel relief.
Tip: When lying in bed and knees are together, I like to flop my feet out to the side. It’s easier to keep my knees together that way.
The right Mediator flow: Place the left hand over the right shoulder and place the right thumb over the right ring fingernail. At the same time, bring the knees together. Relax the hands. Hold 3-5 minutes, or longer, until you feel relief.
Mary Burmeister, a foremost teacher of this Universal Art said: “Happiness is the measure of our HARMONY.”

I just finished reading part of yet another article about the devastating effect lockdowns and social distancing are having on the mental and emotional well-being of many people,….. sometimes more detrimental than the virus itself.
But great synchronicity was at work, because right after that article I received an e-mail with this Jin Shin Jyutsu hold/flow. I feel this could actually help alleviate feelings of disconnection and depression, plus what’s great about JSJ it’s so simple to practice and every hold has multiple benefits, so you always get more than you bargained for.
Hopefully you’re in a position to get real hugs on a regular basis, but if not, put this to work for you. As they say, a hug a day keeps the doctor away!
p. s. Do a search on this blog for more JSJ routines. 🙂
Salud, and have an inspired and inspiring holiday season!

We want you to know…
For decades, our motto has been, “Raising the Vibration of the Planet, One Person at a Time.” By raising your personal energies, you are also raising our collective energies. Racism is big now in our collective awareness, and it exists at many levels. As major brands like Nike, Adidas, and Ben & Jerry’s have spoken out against racism, and as protests were seen across the world – from the U.S. to places like New Zealand and Brazil – we want to make it very clear where we stand at Eden Method.
We are against racism.
We also believe that “raising the vibration of the person and of the planet” is a powerful antidote to the energetics of racism. A lot to think about there, but the more you think about it, the more sense it makes. And the Joy Challenge is all about raising your vibration and the vibration of all those you touch.
Now is the perfect time to join us in the Joy Challenge because it can help you get clear about where you stand, release worrisome thoughts, see the big picture, and help reduce the probability of future events making you feel helpless.
The Joy Challenge is a routine for resetting your energies, getting centered, and moving forward with a clear mindset of what you believe and how you want to live in a healthy and productive way.
We will be doing the Joy Challenge with you and we can all raise the vibration of the planet together during these trying times.
Your Friends at The Eden Method

Here’s another free resource you may want to check out. I have never been to Prama Wellness Center, but a friend of mine has been there several times and loves the staff and quality of information and expertise….
Are you STRESSED OUT??? Join us for this valuable on-line seminar with Dr. Sid Jordan and Ramesh Bjonnes of the Prama Wellness Center and co-hosted by Red Wing Enterprises, Saturday, 10 AM to 12:30 PM ET on a natural approach through diet, yoga, meditation, compassionate communication, and juice cleansing. Free or suggested donation!
In these days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hear the same message from MDs as well as natural health practitioners: Now is the time to prioritize preventive health, both physically and mentally.
In this one-day online program, we at the Prama Wellness Center will share some effective tools to help strengthen our physical and psychological immune systems so that we can build resiliency in dealing with the stress and uncertainty we now are facing.
This online seminar will cover the following topics:
Tools to strengthen our physical immune system with Ramesh Bjonnes, Director of the Prama Wellness Center
Now is definitely not the time to burn the candle at both ends. Rather, now is the time to do our workouts, eat a nutrient dense diet, take preventive herbs and vitamins as well as practice yoga and meditation. We can do that by following a few simple guidelines at home.
Topics to be covered in this workshop include:
Meditation for better immunity Diet to strengthen the immune system response Herbs to strengthen nerves, improve digestion and boost the immune system Intermittent fasting tips to build stamina and immunity
Tools for Psychological Immunity during the Coronavirus Crisis with Dr. Sid Jordan, Psychologist and Co-founder of the Prama Institute
This workshop will focus on the social support and stress management we all need during this crisis.
Practicing “distant socializing” can ameliorate the social isolation induced by “social distancing”. In times of crisis, our efforts to observe sound physical care guidelines and strengthen social ties can be deepened during this social lock down.
We all have to hit the reset button to find a new normal for work (or unemployment) and a balance in self-care and care of others. Let’s seek this new balance together by building psychological immunity through positive thoughts, words and actions.
Self-Care tools to be covered in the workshop:
How to slow down and take deep breaths How to meditate on and off the mat How to define and confront obstacles and fears How to care for Self and Others How to stay in touch with family and friends How to listen attentively with your heart to yourself and others How to make loving requests to family and friends related to your needs
You can sign up on Prama’s Facebook page here. Just scroll down a couple of posts until you see the notice about the seminar.

After posting about Prime Mover, a key Jin Shin Jyutsu hold/flow, a reader asked me to share more processes she could put into practice, so this is response to her request…..
JIN SHIN JYUTSU TO LIFT DEPRESSION & FEELING FEARFUL
Feeling fear sometimes is a natural part of our human ‘beingness’. When we become STUCK in FEAR it it can give way to deeper issues such as depression, despair and powerlessness. The good news is that there are some simple Jin Shin Jyutsu exercises to harmonise fear and lift depression.
However, you don’t need to be in a state of depression to feel the benefits, as this helps everything, on all levels!
Hold the Index Finger
If you suffer from fear and anxiety, then holding the index finger can be really helpful. The Attitude of FEAR relates to the energies of the index finger. FEAR cuts us off from our FLOW. When we are in the flow, we are in harmony – there are no blockages which can cause an array of medical conditions.
When we don’t let go, we don’t allow the flow. The opposite of fear is flow. Holding index fingers gets you back in the flow.
Furthermore Mary Burmeister says: “The index fingers, when not in harmony, are the source of all LACKS.
LACK of: perception, balance of thinking, energy, health, and all material things, begin to cause FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real).”
I find Mary’s words so profound. Believe me, I am constantly in awe of these words as I experience the POWER of holding my index fingers.
Marvelous self help
Holding the index finger is a rather marvelous self help exercise. It is simple but so dynamic.
Add the Ring Toe (4th Toe)
But there is more good news! In Day 3 of the Self Help Classes, we learn that fingers and toes are connected. So we can use fingers and toes together to help us in very dynamic ways!
Holding the Ring Toes by themselves helps the following energy functions: liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, diaphragm.
Dynamic Duo: Index Fingers and Ring Toes
Holding the Index Fingers and Ring Toes helps all the circulatory functions in the body helping the FLOW. Do this exercise regularly (every day) to harmonize fear and lift the feeling of depression.
Left Side:
Wrap your right hand around the left index finger
Hold for 5-10 minutes or more, then
With your left hand hold the left ring toe (with position of the feet in image, place thumb on the top and rest of fingers on the bottom side of toe)
Hold for 5-10 minutes or more
(if you can reach both left and right ring toes, then at the same time hold the right ring toe)
Right Side:
Wrap your right hand around the left index finger
With your left hand hold the left ring toe
(if you can reach both left and right ring toes, then at the same time hold the right ring toe)
Note: If you can, lie on your back and cross your legs so you can grab your ring toes more easily. If you find grabbing the ring toes difficult in whatever position, then get someone else to hold your ring toes for you while you hold your index fingers. Maybe you can bribe your children or grandchildren to do this for you.
Here’s more from Astrid, this time about a JSJ hold that can help with PMS, prostate, restless legs, cold feet and poor circulation…..
Pre Menstrual Syndrome or PMS as it is commonly known can come on a day or two before menstruation. It can cause sudden cramping in the pelvic area which is very uncomfortable and painful, to say the least.
I know first hand how painful it is!
The pain was excruciating
One day as I drove along on my own, a sudden and excruciating cramp came on. Luckily, it happened just as I stopped at a red traffic light. Of course, I didn’t have much time, so I had to think fast! What could I do to move this on?
My instinct (inner wisdom) told me to ‘sandwich’ my pelvis.
An astonishing result
Imagine my astonishment when, within seconds, the pain and cramp subsided! By the time the light turned green again, the cramp, the pain and the discomfort had all completely DISAPPEARED.
Better still, I’ve never had cramps like that again.
Not just for women!
The self help hold will also benefit men, as it keeps the energy flowing properly through the pelvic area, it supports especially the prostate.
Why does this work?
This Jin Shin Jyutsu self help hold is really simple and effective (have I said that before?) because it releases congested/stuck energy in the pelvic area.
When energy gets stuck there can be pain and discomfort. But it’s not only in the pelvic area; one may also feel heavy or uncomfortable in the legs.
Basically, the energy flow down the legs is constricted, so this is also a great hold to help with poor circulation, cold feet and to relieve restless legs.
Self help exercise to clear the pelvic area
So to get the energy flowing properly, we can help clear the area as follows:
Place the left hand on the pubic bone. This clears the descending energy down the front.
Place the right hand with the palm side on the base of the spine as far down as possible near the coccyx. If it’s uncomfortable doing it that way you can also turn your hand around so the back of the hand is on the base of the spine.
And here’s an offer from Tom Paladino at Scalar Energy you might want to take advantage of, especially with the holiday season swinging into gear. I signed up for it just the other day to help with sugar cravings and it may partly be the placebo effect at work, but it does seem like I’ve had less cravings, felt more balanced, plus experienced extra energy on my walks. AND the trial also includes receiving Tom’s foundational package that has the pathogen cleanse, nutrient program and chakra balancing! A great opportunity to get support for your body in a variety of ways. I always notice a difference when receiving his scalar energy processes….
Each cell of your body can get another chance.
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
It is never too late to become healthier. As the heat of summer wanes, so many people realize they are not in a place they want to be. This time of year, there is so much opportunity to overindulge.
At times, that enjoyment turns into a habit that is difficult to break. Too much alcohol, carbohydrates, desserts, and soda weigh heavy on our waistlines and our minds.
You might find yourself with a habit that is become increasingly difficult to break. To help you reclaim your best health, we have brought back by popular demand, one of our most valued programs. You get to try it for free.
This program is an old favorite with a new name: REINTRODUCING…The Scalar Light
As you release toxic chemicals and substances on this program, your cells become healthier. As the bonds of THESE SUBSTANCES are disassembled, the physical absence of these chemical agents will negate or at least weaken the desire that your body has for these harmful and addictive substances.
By working at the quantum level – the level of consciousness – Scalar Light sends corrective energy capable of reprogramming the psychology of a person and assists in weakening the desire for unhealthy behaviors.
Scalar Light’s corrective intelligence will support the reprogramming of the spiritual, mental, psychological, and physical dimensions.
Scalar Light is assisting you with erasing the physical memory of these substances. Find out more and sign up for the free trial here.

At a time of year when many people are starting to make resolutions about exercising more and eating healthier (both good things to be mindful of!), there’s something else that could likely be a more direct and lasting way to bring about a healthier, happier you….
Growing up in a society that is so focused on outer appearances often makes it very difficult to really accept and love ourselves just as we are, especially for females, who are repeatedly bombarded with images of how they “should” look from TV, magazines and elsewhere. It’s said that being able to love yourself is the key to how everything else in your life unfolds and is necessary for being able to truly love others. So why not forget about making a lot of “surface-oriented” resolutions and just promise yourself and your body that you will focus on loving who you are and your body as it is and see what happens?
