Welcome to the 58th edition of the Carnival of Healing. Our carnival is a weekly round-up of blogs across the Internet featuring information about healing, self empowerment, and spirituality.

Thank you in advance to all of our carnival contributors and for everyone who visits. Our carnival tent is bulging with fabulous attractions. Enjoy!

Advice for Healing Our Lives

Jerry Lopper, Purposeful Growth, posts Peaceful Mind: Part attitude, part awareness, part acceptance. Jerry says:

With an attitude of peace of mind, an awareness of your state of mind, and acceptance of self and others, you can achieve peace of mind.

Patricia, A Better You Blog, outines 4 Steps To Make It Happen, Every Time. She's writing about manifesting your goals and dreams. You can achieve it, whatever IT is. The first step is to DEFINE IT.

Erek Ostrowski, Verve Coaching, posts The One Way Street offering relationship advice, Erek writes:

Viewing relationship as a one way street allows us to shed our resignation and take sole authorship of our relationships with others. No, it’s not easy. No, it doesn’t mean condoning, accepting, or feigning agreement with the judgments and assessments that others levy upon us. No, it doesn’t mean bottling up your frustration and disappointment and letting others get away with murder. Walking the one way street means creating or inventing yourself as the author of your relationships, instead of creating or inventing yourself as a helpless victim of someone else’s perspective or behavior. It has more to do with how you see yourself than with how you think others see you.

Joe Donnachie, Pursuing Health and Happiness posts A Good Night's Sleep where he outlines his five basic rules for getting restful sleep. His fifth rule is "Don't Watch TV in Bed." Of course... everyone knows that a television doesn't belong in the bedroom... right? Why is it so easy to fall asleep on the couch while you're watching the tube then?

Hueina Su, Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul posts From Self Sacrifice to Self Love. She says:

The truth is, happiness can only come from within us, not outside of us.

In a second carnival submission Hueina shares Is Your Life Haunted? where she teaches us how harmful negative thoughts and false beliefs can be. She says:

Does your life look like a haunted house all year around??? ... many people are "haunted" by gremlins and ghosts from their past. These ghosts include: negative past experiences & emotional wounds, limiting beliefs, gremlins (inner critics or inner judges), fears (of failure, success, rejection), regrets, resentment, hatred (towards others or yourself), unrealistic expectations, etc. They follow you wherever you go, and stop you cold in your track toward success, happiness and inner peace.

Humor and Annecdotes

Isabella Mori (a lover of blog carnivals), change therapy shares the story of the two hungry wolves. If you like parable then you'll like this Native American story from Ten Kuntz's book Peace Begins With Me.

Simonne, All Tips and Tricks posted 25 Signs You May Be A Health Freak. This posting reminds me of something you might see tacked up on the bulletin board in the locker room at the gym.

Madeleine Begun Kane Mad Kane's Humor Blog gets a chuckle out of me about the insanity of multitasking in her post Contending With Time.

Remedies: Tea and Wheat

Ruth, Eating Fabulous, posts Four Cups of Tea a Day For Your Health.

A minimum of four cups of tea a day will contribute to your daily fluid intake, the antioxidants tea contains can be beneficial for heart health, and the small amount of caffeine tea contains can help increase concentration, according to the latest research - all news that should have commuters heading straight for the kettle when they arrive in the office.

Raymond David Salas, ZenChill - Power Tools for Mind, Body, and Soul endorses Jason Winters Tea. Raymond says:

I drink Jason Winters Tea regularly because I love the taste and it is a great way for me to start my day. I can feel a difference whenever I do. I highly recommend it!

Aparna, Beauty & Personality Grooming posts Wheat magic for treating common ailments (boils, scars, acne, pains). Aparna says:

Wheat is an excellent source of iron and phosphorous. The outer layer of the barn provides fiber which gives bulk and regulates the absorption and excretion of nutrients from the body. The germ contains riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin E and trace minerals such as zinc, copper, iron and magnesium. Wheat is the best nourishing food which can be easily given to patients and even babies.

Brain Power

John Hill, Universe Of Success says this about the conscious mind:

You have the power to choose your own thoughts and therefore decide what you believe. If you truly believe something on a conscious level, your subconscious will act according to your belief and it will manifest in your experience. Read full post: Beware The Power Of Suggestion

John says this about the unconscious mind:

Your subconscious power is what connects you to the “oneness” of all things. The “oneness” is something we are all a part of, every person who has ever lived now, before or in the future, in fact every single thing on the earth and in the entire universe is a part of this “oneness”. This is inescapable, this is truth. Read full post: Magic Healing Power of Your Subconscious Mind

Opinions

Ravi Raman, Set Higher Standards posts Choose Your Friends Wisely which give sinsight as to how we came about belonging to a certain tribe of people. It makes perfect sense. Read this essay and decide if you should continue to stay your current tribe or if you might be better off looking for a different crowd to hang with. It really is true that birds of a feather flock together. Maybe your feathers need plucked, or at the very least, ruffled up a bit.

GarnetDavid, Glittering Muse posts Touch at Glittering Muse.... a short posting on the importance of hugging and touching. It's a human need.

Stephanie West Allen, idealawg, posts I stress, you stress, we all strive for eustress. Who woulda thunk that there is such a thing as Good Stress???

Wisdom From Wenchypoo's Mental Wastebasket posts Affordable Health Care on Every Corner. Wenchypoo says:

Affordable healthcare for those without access to insurance or the ability to pay cash (always the cheapest route) is called the grocery store, and there’s one on every corner. By carefully choosing what you eat and how you eat it, you can prevent a whole lot of diseases from ever forming, so you no longer have to worry about insuring against them...

Education / Awareness

Surfer Sam and Friends posts Fluoride, Are You Getting Too Much. Fluoride in drinking water may be a mistake.

Dr Kavokin RDoctor Medical Portal posts Multiple Sclerosis Quiz.

Last week the carnival was hosted at Spiral Visions. Next week (Nov. 11) Wisdom of Healing will be our hosting blog.
