BABY, I AM

Archive for the ‘Babies’ Category

How can it be that science values nature, isn’t that essentially the same as believing in fate? personally I believe it all comes down to nurture, but then the question is raised; how much of our nurture is a result of our nature? My line of thought may seem extremely wrong to some, but the fact is i’m just in denial, I refuse to accept that certain aspects in our current personalities were established the day we were conceieved. If one argues nature, that could be viewed as quite a racist view. Let me elaborate, the majority of North America firmly believes that Al qaeda are insane, whereas they obviously find our ways completely insane. If we believe in the Nature argument, doesn’t that also mean we think everyone from that geographic location is insane? We know they’re not, so obviously Nurture plays an extremely large role.

On the other hand, personalities would affect the jobs we take, certain jobs today were non existant when the first civillizations existed. Has our nature changed since then? I’d argue no, therefore I don’t believe we have been evolving mentally, or if we have, not in terms of our nature, our instinct. Honestly, my view is uncertain, i don’t know enough about the science involved in this, i am admittedly no scientist, though I once got an A in chemistry, suck it Peter Agre.

 I find it so strange that science seems to be advocating fate in a sense, it’s getting far too religious to my liking.

This debate honestly seems as unlikely to end as the debate for the existence of god and of course, more importantly, who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Was it you?!Couldn’t be?

… Then WHO?!

As a result of the ”green living” movement, Low or Zero VOC paints are becoming more mainstream. If you’re gearing up to paint your baby’s nursery, here’s what you should know about these new paint alternatives. Traditional Paints If you’ve ever painted a room in the past with traditional paint, you probably had to open the windows because of the strong odor. Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounds also known as VOCs. VOCs are comprised of a variety of chemicals that can adversely affect your health. In fact, according to The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), VOCs can trigger eye, nose and throat irritations, headaches, nausea, and a loss of coordination. Significant exposure may even lead to problems with the kidney, liver and central nervous system. Many people mistakenly believe that once their paint is dry and the smell is gone, the chemicals are too. However VOCs tend to concentrate indoors and may persist in the air long after painting is finished. To decrease this risk, consider choosing a non toxic paint for the nursery and other rooms in your home as well. There are many benefits to using non toxic paints including:

Non toxic or Natural Paints These paints are produced by a variety of manufacturers and come in several options. Many of the paints are now available at mainstream home improvement stores as well as at local specialty paint stores. As with many eco-friendly products, there are no official federal guidelines regarding labeling, so VOC standards may vary by manufacturer. Consult the paint labels or ask your in-store paint specialist for clarification if you have questions. You can also look for paints that have Green Seal certifications. Types of Non toxic PaintsLow VOC: These paints use water instead of petroleum to carry the paint. To be considered Low VOC, a paint may only contain 250 grams of VOC per liter. Likewise, varnishes are limited to 380 grams of VOC per liter. However, many reputable paint companies offer paints with even lower VOC levels. Look for Green Seal Certifications. Zero VOC: These paints still contain VOCs but are limited to less than 5 grams of VOC per liter. Natural Paints: These safe paints are made solely from natural ingredients, including substances like water, clay, chalk, plant dyes, natural latex and even milk and beeswax. You can search for natural paints online. Decorating a baby nursery can be a loving way to prepare for your newborn’s arrival. If your plans involve painting the walls, choosing non toxic or natural paints is great way to reduce potential household toxins and give your precious baby the gift of healthy indoor air.

Before we can truly love others we first need to learn to love ourselves unconditionally, which for many people can be the most challenging part of their spiritual growth. We can be so busy “loving” others and “doing” for others that we neglect ourselves. How can we truly allow ourselves to be loved by another if we don’t even know how to love ourselves first?If we don’t factor in time in our lives on a daily basis for self-love and self-nurturing we are being hypocritical and not in our integrity. Any “love” we are giving out to others is likely to be tainted with resentment about meeting their needs and not ours or be conditional upon getting something back from that person. Beginning to sound familiar? Probably the vast majority of us can relate to the above. No wonder our hearts have been closing down vibrationally. Unconditional love requires nothing in return – it just is. Unconditional love is what your dog gives you. Owning a pet gives people an opportunity to just naturally open their heart up to unconditional love as they feel the purity of their animal’s love and know it is not manipulative or calculating nor does it have a hidden agenda. An animal does not care how you look, what job you have, how much money you make, what car you drive or the house you live in. I feel animals are far closer spiritually to God than we are.In our materialistic society the majority of people confuse self-love and self-nurturing with amassing physical possessions, such as fancy cars, big houses, lots of clothes, etc. How many people do we know who seem to have all the material things yet are depressed and empty inside. Hollywood is full of them. So-called self-nurturing may also be excessive consumption of alcohol, over-eating junk food, being a couch potato in front of the television, all of which are injurious to our health and do nothing to nourish us at a soul-level, where the real need for nurturing lies.Let’s look at some positive soul-healing ways to nurture and love yourself:*. Laugh a lot – 10 minutes of laughter in the morning boosts your immune system, increases productivity and gives you a good attitude. Try it in the shower, while exercising or just about any time. Laughter uses every muscle in the body and releases endorphins, the happy hormones.* Enjoy guilt-free downtime – Be sure to build in regular reward breaks of 10-15 minutes after completing a task. That way you don’t need to feel guilty about stopping for a break. Walk outside, put your feet up, read, phone a friend or just do nothing.* Have a warm aromatherapy bath with candles – Add beautiful music, take a good book to read, turn the answering machine on, meditate or whatever you are guided to. Enjoy!*Take yourself to a beautiful place in nature – Walk, sit or just contemplate.*Enjoy good conversations with friends*Hug your pet or your childNow over to YOU.List 10 Ways You would Like to Show Yourself Love and Nurturing at a Soul-Level:1. ………………………………………………………………………………………………2. ………………………………………………………………………………………………3. ………………………………………………………………………………………………4. ………………………………………………………………………………………………5. ………………………………………………………………………………………………6. ………………………………………………………………………………………………7. ………………………………………………………………………………………………8. ………………………………………………………………………………………………9. ………………………………………………………………………………………………10. ……………………………………………………………………………………………Practise at least one soul-nurturing activity a day to start opening up to loving yourself.Be creative and most of all ENJOY!
