Myths have guided man throughout the centuries and are to be found in every culture. They inspire; they guide; they teach. They provide sustenance to us humans as we travel this Earthly plane. Yes, this Earthly plane! Such a radical statement when you think about it. Since the dawn of time, man has been guided by mythology, and yet, he/she inspired its very nature and course of action.

No, we refer to other measures in this so called advanced age of ours.

If all we get out of the Virginia Tech Massacre is that some lunatic loner did this and we have to isolate and institutionalize such people, we're making a huge mistake. Whether you like it or not, anyone can end up like Cho Seung-Hui if pushed hard enough. Everyone has a breaking point, and we're fools to think this isn't going to happen again.

How do you ease stress? What a question! How pertinent the question is as a poignant reminder to say yes and return to your powerful center.

In my line of work in the alternative health industry, I have noticed a common theme in the lives of some very powerful healers. In the most beautiful way, these powerful healers are heart-centered and quite self-less. The flip side of this can lead to caring ONLY for others and not giving much attention to themselves.

If you're stressed, you won't be as helpful to others as you can be.
