The suggestions in this gallery are intended to help you become more aware of your spiritual self. Any activity that makes you feel more alive, more connected to others and to nature, less isolated, more comfortable with change, is beneficial. It will enhance your physical and mental health. It will help you accept the fact of your aging. It will help you to age gracefully.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BREATH
Many cultures identify breath with spirit, seeing the breath cycle as the movement of spirit in the physical body. Simply minding the breath is a way of expanding consciousness beyond the ego, of experiencing transcendence.
CONNECT WITH NATURE
You can do this by walking or sitting in a natural setting; a city park will do just fine. Allow yourself to slow down, drop your usual routines, and just absorb the influence of the place.
SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
Make a list of people in your life in whose company you feel more alive, happy, and optimistic. Make an effort to spend more time with them. Our spiritual selves resonate with others, and that connection is healing.
REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS
Bring flowers into your home and enjoy their beauty
SOOTHE YOUR SOUL WITH SOUND
Listen to music that you find inspirational and uplifting.
SEEK OUT BEAUTY
Admire a work of art that raises your spirits: a painting, sculpture, or work of architecture.
MAKE AMENDS
Reach out and try to resume connection with someone from whom you are estranged; practice forgiveness.
DO SERVICE WORK
Give some of your time and energy to help others. The possibilities are endless but do not include just writing a check to charity.
GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY is a statement that made a noise like church bells in my ears one day when I was about 29, on the edge of 30, and when I was realizing that the number was only getting bigger and aging was following close behind. I also recognized that looking youthful was only gonna hang around for so long before my physical skin started hangin' around (getting older basically is what I am saying here). Growing older isn't the "oh so bad" thing, for me, it was the physical way of aging that I wanted to slow down.
I figured out that I needed to change my attitude, my perception, and my heart in order to be successful at this "Growing old gracefully" thing.
**I needed to look at my eating habits and decide what was serving my body and what was breaking it down.
**I needed to look at my physical body and notice the subtle changes and redesign my workouts.
**I realized I was needing to shift from a "ME", "SELF", "TAKE" approach to a "YOU", "OTHERS", and "GIVE" type of living.
**I saw how FORGIVENESS was also a major step in this growing older gracefully process. Holding onto grudges, resentment and anger rapidly speeds up the aging race. Letting go of past disappointments is about the most refreshing experience you will have in this life time. Try it.
I am sure there are many other steps to list, but for me these were the first most important ones to take. Consider what your steps would be and challenge yourself to accomplish one by one until you feel as though you are looking out of a new set of eyes.
Many many blessings to all and live long so that you may teach some truth in life to those coming up behind us. We are all TEACHERS, certified or not!!!!
Love Sunny

Motivation & TRUTH
CHANGE BEGINS WITH CHOICE
by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
Everything you want in life is within your reach. And getting your every want is just a matter of taking charge

Healthy Hydration, Healthy Planet, Healthy choices
FIRST: Quitting Soda
I really HATE the Soda mrkt. There are so many reasons to look at Soda and run for your life!!!!! This item can not be put into your shopping cart, poured from the soda fountain at the gas station convenience store, ordered from the fast food spot or bought at the vending machines on schools campus.
**Look at the ingredients on the nutrition label: HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS & COLORS, MORE SUGAR, MORE SUGAR AND MORE SUGAR.
Soda is also on the "poison" grid with Dentists, Natural Health practitioners, Doctors, Weight Loss facilities, Personal Trainers and Pediatrics. Again, there is NOTHING good about Soda. It's a very addicting chemical filled beverage, contributes to Nationwide Obesity in children and adults, rotting teeth, causes glycemic index to rise, and there is more to list, but I hope you are getting the picture. Then you have the "DIET" soda's that people order because they are thinking "less sugar", when really they just substituted an artificial sweetener which in turn is just worse than regular sodas. None of it is right, it's just WRONG!!!!!! and should be ILLEGAL! (other beverages like: Sobe, Arizona Icetea, gatorade, powerade, capri sun, vitamin water etc., are all full of

sugars, artificial "everythings", HFCS, zero nutrients, pasturization (which kills anything good in order to keep shelf life) and are all stored in plastics with BPA chemicals or aluminum cans).
SECOND: More WATER
Water is by far the first and best choice when it comes to hydration.
Facts: the world is 70% water, our bodies are 70% water, and our cells are 70% water. We need to consume 70% of our daily liquid as WATER. It's sad to say, but there is probably about 70% of the population that might really HATE drinking water. We are all so accustomed to mentally accepting things "as good" if it is sweet, so if you are that person then I know you really dislike drinking glasses of water.
There are so many benefits that come with drinking water like: flushing toxins from your body, helping out your kidney and liver, aiding in healthy looking and youthful skin, keeping your cells vibrant and functioning well, prevents migraines/headaches (your brain needs water too, becoming dehydrated will cause the onset of stress in the brain) and helps keep our body in a alkaline state instead of a high acidic level. Some people love bubbly or carbonated beverages so they will get a carbonated water instead of soda :) .
The United States is well known for it's massive choices available with each product. There is not just one choice in Juice, sodas or even WATER. But instead there is about 10 different options with 5-6 different companies under 2-3 gigantic mother corporations. Become a POWER CONSUMER, someone who is not going to be dupped by money hungry Corporations with motives delivered to us through advertising and marketing ploys and have zero concern for our well being. Become the SMART shopper and consumer with everything you spend your money on to feed yourself and your children.
THIRD: Environmental Causes
Trees for the Future and eliminating Plastic bottle production. We are all looking for ways to be part of a "small carbon footprint" in the world today. We are all understanding that over the years of "Mass Production", we now are experiencing the consequences in our environment. Enormous sheets of forests are being plowed down every day so that more and more developments can be produced so that more and more money can be made. Well, you and I are the ones who can start to make a difference. It may not be in our lifetime that we will suffer, but more likely our children and grandchildren that will have to live with the poorest quality of air to breathe. Trees are a major part of our environment. They actually clean the air of carbondioxide and pollution, actually give off oxygen, produce food and homes to animals (and some food for humans too), help enrich the soils of the earth and provide beauty and art for our eyes to see.
The Plastic bottle production scene is a mess. We are now understanding that there is a huge problem that exists with plastic pollution. It's just about everywhere, in the waters, the land, the streets and we need to start doing something about this. One solution is using a "re-usable" water bottle that does not contain BPA's. These chemicals are being found in the ocean and peoples bodies. We have to start being wiser about being a consumer, just because it is available, doesn't mean it is the best thing for us or our planet. Think of it like this, if it isn't right for your body and mind then it isn't right for the planet you live on either.
We've all become accustomed to convenience, instant gratification, and habits that just no longer serve us, but the GREAT thing is, is that if you wish to start living WELL, caring about the planet we live on and helping others then I want to introduce you to a company that is taking GIANT steps forward and actually cares about YOUR health & wellness, the issues with our Environment and the livelihood of our financial wellness. http://www.yoli.com CARES!!

Weight issues? Is it Calories or is it Hormones?
Good morning,
I went to this health seminar and they pitched a totally different approach to weight issues and it made soooooo much sense. watching what kind of calories and how much is a good idea for good health, but for weight management, I learned a simple fact. Before our bodies even start gaining unwanted pounds and going into a frenzy of loving to gain weight, we need to look at something else first......we need to find out what kind of health symptoms we are experiencing (lack of sleep, brittle cracked nails, hair falling out, white film on tongue, areas where weight has settled in, what kind of cravings sweet salty sour stuff, and there are tons of other examples, but all of it adds up to one of four body types: Thyroid, Adrenal, Ovary, Liver.
Basically when we are able to identify which category we fall into, we are then able to heal and strengthen that area back to proper functioning, which eliminates the stress the body was feeling, which puts a halt on all extra fat producing hormones(pesticides, hormone injecting, fungicides, herbacides, steroid injecting, GMO foods, sugar, artificial sweeteners, all of these chemicals affect your organ functions), so that when we do go work out we are actually burning our fat storages and not our blood sugar and sugar reserves (cuz when we do burn those calories for energy in that form, our bodies go into the craving stages to refill the sugars we have burned, viscous cycle).
All together we are to eat as close to a pure/organic, high green, fiber filled diet, non chemical, non steroid/hormone pumped meats. Fruit and veggie sticker coding: starts with a 9 means organic. You can google "Thyroid body type" and see the symptoms (as with the other types too) and all in all we need to also learn how to unwind, relax, de-stress our mind and body. So many of us are lookin to get amped up work outs, pumped up with artificial sweeteners (poisons), massive amounts of caffiene and we lose all of our ability to replenish our cellular system by depriving ourselves of natural state in the raw form foods which hold the most vitamins and minerals available to us. So now, since I know how important it is to get these nutrients, I throw everything in a blender with water some honey or agave and chug a chug. Get a shot of wheat grass everyday if you can, eat alfalfa sprouts in your sandwhich, take hummus and some veggies that you like to work with you for a snack (totally holds you over between meals) You will start feeling amazing, refreshed, energized, clear minded, and drink your water. I could keep going really, only cuz I love you.

Environmental Awareness, Wellness & Health, Exercise & Fitness, Financial Opportunity
Wow, where do I start~it's all so exciting!!!
We all know the great importance of each word in the title above, but knowing and living are two different things. I want to encourage everyone to be involved and living all of the time. My passion has everything to do with exposing people to healthier, happier and more meaningful living.
More and more people are suffering today from illness, dis-ease and cancers than ever before. Giant Global corporations, Global Government Programs and Global Pharmaceutical companies are now being exposed and recognized for their destruction in peoples lives, planetary pollution, greed, corruption and deception to the ones who have been pouring their hard earned money into their bank accounts, us~ the Human race. There are many causes that we all can support and stand up for in order to make a difference and we all have learned that the change must begin with ourselves first, "we must become the change we want to see in the world".
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
What are the options? Another JOB.
How are we gonna squeeze more time out of the day? When you only have about 6-8 hours left over out of 24 in our day.
Will any of it be worth the extra stress that we are going to put ourselves through while trying to make up the extra money needed? More than likely NOT!
So let me share with you the BIGGEST TREND fitting into todays world of events listed above:
"Plan B" :
Network Marketing
A Business building model that delivers financial rewards and a residual income by building a team of like minded people who are distributing a product by word of mouth. Pursuing the same goals~Freedom of Time, Money and Life.
YOLI~
I am introducing to you a company who is for the People by the People. Delivering a worthy product, donating to a worthy cause, and dedicated to improving financial lives. This product fits into every walk of life. Serves the planet by planting trees. Offers a solution to Plastic Pollution and cutting back on usage of oil to produce plastic bottles. A technology that is guaranteed to deliver nutrients at its purest state to the cellular body. And when we say timing is everything, well, it is right now~we are in the Pre-launch phase of this company and it is spreading like wild fire.
Times are changing and it is time to be a little more open minded about the way businesses are ran and people are making money. Viral marketing, social marketing, network marketing are replacing Billboard, newspaper, magazine and T.V. advertising at a rate that is incomprehensible. Look around next time you are driving down the road and count how many people are in business by way of Network Marketing. It just may compel you to do a little more research.

12 ways to feel better and have more energy!
I found this article by Marilyn Preston who is a fitness expert, personal trainer and speaker on healthy lifestyle issues. Here goes:
Health care reform actually begins at home. Here are 12 healthy-lifestyle action steps you can take starting today.
1. BE MORE ACTIVE. you will develop more strength and energy, look better, and feel happier and healthier if you enjoy some physical activity every day.
2 DON'T DIET. learn to enjoy preparing and eating real food in sensible amounts to lose weight and keep it off. replace the drama of dieting with the joy of growing some of your own food or buying from local farmers.
3. MAKE HEALTHY EATING ADJUSTMENTS. stop ordering fried foods. substitute dark salad greens, like spinach, for iceberg lettuce. order salad dressings on the side. cancel the cheese.
4. STRETCH MORE. release muscle tension every day to reduce stress and ease pain. just 10 minutes a day can make a difference.
5. DON'T OVERDUE WORKOUTS. too much intensity takes the fun out of being active and raises your risk of injury. moderation is the path to lifelong fitness.
6. DEVELOP INNER BODY AWARENESS. yoga teaches you to use your breath to link body and mind. find your own path to inner awareness, and travel down it daily to clarity, calm, to greater joy.
7. SPEND TIME IN NATURE. outdoor adventures will calm you mentally and revitalize you physically.
8. GET MORE SLEEP. too many people go around sleep deprived, then wonder why they feel tired and irritable.
9. EMBRACE NEW CHALLENGES. set new goals, seek out different experiences, and become the change you want to see in the world
10. KEEP A PERSONAL JOURNAL. keeping track keeps you on track, whether you want to lose 10 pounds or stick to an exercise program.
11. OVERCOME ALL EXCUSES. make time to exercise. get up earlier, write it into your calendar, find mini- breaks in your day to walk or meditate. take control of your day and a more balanced life will follow.
12. STAY POSITIVE. anger, envy and self-pity can sap your strength and lower your resistance to illness. learn to live in the moment.
I thought that all 12 of these points were great reminders of keeping our lives in order and in good health. We all get caught up in the many distractions that life throws at us, but it is still up to us to stay on the tight rope and get to the other side in one piece. We all know how chaos, discord and disarray causes us to lose focus, and this is why I wanted to share this with everyone, because we can apply these small but powerful steps to our day and experience HEALTH & WELLNESS OF MIND BODY & SPIRIT.
Always LOVE, Sunny

Today
Good morning. Well, today is starting out as a gorgeous and magnificent day. Radiant green palms, brilliant blue sky, fresh crisp cool morning air and quite stillness surrounding me. This is a perfect time to use as a point of meditation, to visualize specific events and people I want to embrace as my day unfolds. I will lite an incense for a sweet aroma that will help energize my senses and inspire a sweet desire for a compassionate spirit today, a grateful spirit, a humble spirit and charitable spirit to consume this body today. I choose today to have an open heart and mind to the needs of others, that I will recognize a greater reason for our paths crossing and I will understand that my willingness to serve others before myself will be fulfilling the greatest royal law, “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF”.
Blessings and Love always,

Mana
In the Hawaiian language Mana means "ENERGY" or "POWER". We choose our Mana every day from the moment we open our eyes and take in our first cleansing breath. As our body fills with new clean oxygen, we become aware that we are awake now, our mind is empty like a clean slate with nothing on it and we realize an awkward state of stillness, peacefulness, quietness and almost a feeling of being lost. But this should not be so strange, this place of aloneness should be comfortable, freeing and safe. This is the place where we CO-CREATE our day. This is where we choose our Mana, our Energy or Power and begin to visualize what kind of day we are going to experience. It is a very empowering feeling when we know that our day will unfold as we choose. We can co-create a day with enlightenment, positiveness and high vibration energy which will attract the same forces in the people and experiences in your day. Use this awareness and choose your Mana. It was intended from the beginning of your very existence to live in a "life giving power", a "high energy vibration", a Mana that exudes LIFE.Be Blessed today and Bless others

Meditation~ time to prepare for
Stay tuned........
hmmmm, while waiting did you happen to think about or act on meditation?
Well, even if you just got to see the title of this post, I know that at least a spark of curiosity of what Meditation is got its chance to stir around in your state of consciousness and get stored in your subconscious mind. Meditation is a powerful tool for us to use and apply in these busy and stressful times we are living in. Meditation is being used by everyone from all walks of life from all over the world and even being practiced by the youngest to the oldest members of families. It is a time used for centering, healing, refreshing and to plan or prepare for while being still. The combination of clearing the mind and feeding the body with each breath is a time of cleansing and setting up your vision that you are intending for your hour, day and life. There is also clearly a breaking down of an earlier misconception that meditation was part of a certain religion or group of people, when in fact research has shown that this practice is necessary in maintaining a state of optimal health both physically and mentally. No matter who you are or where you live, wellness, balance and self control are being concentrated on and developed so that we may remain whole and complete. Meditation is the first step to implement in our lives so that we may acquire Peace of Mind Body and Soul. When we are choosing to begin our journey with the intention of high vibrational energy, positiveness and light it is important to take the steps that will lead to our experience the way we are envisioning our outcome to be.
Stress is the cause of our immune system breaking down and mental illness taking place in our lives. Stress constricts and shortens the flow of good energy and creates blocks that eventually lead to a breakdown of Mind Body and Spirit. Meditation offers our mind and body time to restore itself and prepare itself for whatever is to come. Breathing opens our circulation and allows our body to function in its fullest capacity. Life is busy these days and is quick to spiral out of control so it is up to us to be more active in managing our health, wellness and state of mind. Businesses are now being designed to be the fastest, quickest, most convenient and as instant as possible in order to survive in any industry or market these days. In return this requires us to pick up our pace in order to keep up and not get left behind in the race of supply and demand or better, generating MONEY. Our health and wellness is far more important than money, because without wellness there will be illness and with illness there will be no business. Even the largest of corporate America is recognizing this fact and are requiring that their employees attend Wellness seminars that they are offering. Even some of the wealthiest most powerful business icons like Donald Trump, Oprah, Russel Simmons, Larry King and I could keep going are devoted to the practice of Meditation.
So, how do you meditate?
All you need is yourself, a quiet place and a comfortable position (sitting, lying down, chair). You may choose a soft instrumental or soundscape music, small waterfall or nothing at all. The goal here is to set aside 5 mins.( beginners)-30+ mins. (advanced) first thing in A.M. and before going to sleep at night. Morning time is for setting up your day and night time is for clearing the mind for a good nights rest. As soon as you are set, you want to close your eyes and begin with an exhale, completely emptying out your lungs and then inhaling through your nose, listening to each breath as it leaves and enters your body. When you are entering into this space of calm you want to also empty out any thoughts and losing yourself to your breath seeing only empty space. This space will be used throughout your day for making decisions, dealing with frustrations, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, hurt, lonliness, negative energy, giving up, doubt or anything else that doesn't serve your greater good. This practice can be done literally anywhere. It is the place inside of us where no one else may enter and a place where we are able to sort through anything without any interuptions in order to keep a calm and productive flow. With meditation there is no reason for addictions to consume our well being. Whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, perfectionism whatever it is that you may lose your own self control to we can overcome it by using Meditation.
Remember, our focus is always going to be "what kind of energy are we carrying with us"? Making a decision of how we want our day to unfold will be carried out by how we begin our day. So start with Meditation, set your thoughts aside, feed your body and mind new oxygen, create that empty space within, and enter the realm of freedom and joy. You are the co-creator in this life and you can place yourself in PEACEFULNESS.
God Bless,
Sunny Miller

Stress is the cause of our immune system breaking down and mental illness taking place in our lives. Stress constricts and shortens the flow of good energy and creates blocks that eventually lead to a breakdown of Mind Body and Spirit. Meditation offers our mind and body time to restore itself and prepare itself for whatever is to come. Breathing opens our circulation and allows our body to function in its fullest capacity. Life is busy these days and is quick to spiral out of control so it is up to us to be more active in managing our health, wellness and state of mind. Businesses are now being designed to be the fastest, quickest, most convenient and as instant as possible in order to survive in any industry or market these days. In return this requires us to pick up our pace in order to keep up and not get left behind in the race of supply and demand or better, generating MONEY. Our health and wellness is far more important than money, because without wellness there will be illness and with illness there will be no business. Even the largest of corporate America is recognizing this fact and are requiring that their employees attend Wellness seminars that they are offering. Even some of the wealthiest most powerful business icons like Donald Trump, Oprah, Russel Simmons, Larry King and I could keep going are devoted to the practice of Meditation.
So, how do you meditate?
All you need is yourself, a quiet place and a comfortable position (sitting, lying down, chair). You may choose a soft instrumental or soundscape music, small waterfall or nothing at all. The goal here is to set aside 5 mins.( beginners)-30+ mins. (advanced) first thing in A.M. and before going to sleep at night. Morning time is for setting up your day and night time is for clearing the mind for a good nights rest. As soon as you are set, you want to close your eyes and begin with an exhale, completely emptying out your lungs and then inhaling through your nose, listening to each breath as it leaves and enters your body. When you are entering into this space of calm you want to also empty out any thoughts and losing yourself to your breath seeing only empty space. This space will be used throughout your day for making decisions, dealing with frustrations, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, hurt, lonliness, negative energy, giving up, doubt or anything else that doesn't serve your greater good. This practice can be done literally anywhere. It is the place inside of us where no one else may enter and a place where we are able to sort through anything without any interuptions in order to keep a calm and productive flow. With meditation there is no reason for addictions to consume our well being. Whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, perfectionism whatever it is that you may lose your own self control to we can overcome it by using Meditation.
Remember, our focus is always going to be "what kind of energy are we carrying with us"? Making a decision of how we want our day to unfold will be carried out by how we begin our day. So start with Meditation, set your thoughts aside, feed your body and mind new oxygen, create that empty space within, and enter the realm of freedom and joy. You are the co-creator in this life and you can place yourself in PEACEFULNESS.
God Bless,

Energy is my Business
ENERGY. A force of expression.
We all have this inherent power, ENERGY, that exists in the depths of our tiniest most mega-microscopic life forms within our living bodies called "atoms". These atoms are what make up each and every living cell in our entire body. This ENERGY is the beginning and without it, there is NO life, there is NO form of expression.
So, if this is the beginning, then this must be where we should begin and this is why ENERGY is my business.
Since we are aware that Energy is a force of expression then we need to ask ourselves, "How do I want to EXPRESS myself"? Our Energy is going to be the center of how we express ourselves, how we are perceived, how we react, how we respond, and how we interact. Energy comes in forms of light and dark, high and low, up and down, positive and negative and we measure our energy in VIBRATION. Just the same as when we toss a pebble into a calm water, the energy forms where the pebble enters the water and the vibration creates ripples traveling outward. The vibration is measured by the size of the ripples caused by the amount of energy entered into the space of water. The same goes for us when we enter into any space. The type and amount of energy we carry will immediately have an affect on the space we step into and everything or everyone in it. I am not sharing this information for gain of power (as some would interpret), but instead for conscious understanding (feeding the subconscious mind).
My goal here is to help "service" and "empower" our mind, body and spirit by lifting our cellular expression (Energy) to Opimal Health so that we are able to express ourselves in a positive, light, high, up and living life form. We need to feed our cells well, keep them hydrated, and allow time for restoration and replenishing. What does this mean? I am referring to Healthy Diet, Water and Rest. Living is energy in motion and I am here to express my energy to you for a better life.
There are so many books, articles, BLOGS, CD's, DVD's and lessons on Diet, but I want to talk about the nutritional needs of our cells for a healthy high vibrational energy. Our cells use the nutrients we put into our bodies and turn it into energy which then is used by our organs, heart, brain, muscles and blood. Our cells are also highly dependent on hydration. In the same way that a grape turns into a raisin by dehydrating it, the cell can also become depleted and lose it's functioning abilities. Resting is by far just as important for our cellular regeneration, we do have billions of cells in our body, but over time these do die and are unable to keep reproducing. Resulting in what we know as "aging". So make it a point to feed your body well, proper hydration and rest so that your cells can become refreshed. Optimum health is obtainable, it just takes a little more conscious decision making and effort to do what is best for your energy levels.
Today, begin to use a little more thought when it comes to what you put into your body. Ask yourself, "is this going to energize my body or is it just empty calories"? Remember, it does matter and we all need to recognize that we are a soul living in this Temple we call our body. So treat it with the utmost respect and love and it will provide for you Great Health and long life in return.
