Dr. Pokea shares his insight and discusses how Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin knew the indivisibility of their own mind, body, and spirit. They fundamentally embraced liberty, equality, and education so the mind would be free of any illusions of servitude, patronage and superiority. They knew that all the principles they designed in Democracy were guided by Divine Spirit so all the talk would merge, naturally and viscerally, in the walk of we the people.
The most fundamental lesson in this existence is to learn to embrace our conflicts within, so that we do not project them out onto the world as thought missiles that do harm. The mind tries to chatter all the pain away with mind spam. Meditation opens the mind to process our own internal conflicts that unfold the layers of self and compassion blossoms. It reminds us of our life painting, our Spirit, the true artist, who illustrates and teaches us what we came here to learn.
Our pets keep us in touch. As we touch them they touch us in our most basic rhythms deep within. They remind us of our inner need for playfulness, rest, relaxation and restoration. They are uncluttered by chattering thoughts and are attuned to the healing rhythms of the earth and those same earth rhythms within our bodies.
Our emotional well being is just as important as the healthy foods we eat. Our stomach may also gurgle and growl to alert our mind to something unhealthy. It is a loyal, protective friend to our body. It doesn't always want to be filled up. As we stay attuned to our "gut sense," we can be aware of what is truly comforting, loving, and safe in our physical and emotional fulfillment.
In the interest of scientific understanding, we have dissected many pieces of what we think human beings are. In this millennium, our new task may be to put those pieces back together to realize the full potential of what it means to be human.

...the apparent teacher is also a student and the apparent student is also a teacher... True learning is a state of consciousness that lets everyone's light shine; all the teachers, all the students, they are the same... Our children are our teachers.... Each time we are attuned to a child we are attuned to an aspect of our own child within. As we each do this, we reclaim our humanity, our light shines and so do our children.
There are no negative feelings because every feeling has its transformational lessons as well as its rich complementary emotion. When we experience and understand fear, we can experience and understand courage. As we process our rage and feelings of helplessness, our confidence and strength also emerges. When we embrace and understand grievous sadness, we can embrace and understand the fullness of joy.
Our mind and heart are intricately interwoven with the fabric of our body. Likewise our bodies and minds are ringing with the balancing rhythms of our planet earth and the words and thoughts we have about one another. Our health and wellness is a reflection of the extent to which we are "intune"with compassion and reverence or "detuned" with gossip and thoughts of ill will.
The experience I had is free and available to us all. It was as though at some deep level of consciousness, every cell of my body was renewed and had rejoined with the earth. My senses were heightened; there was a deeper perception and an effortless flow of thoughts. I felt awake, clear in my thinking.
What contributions do our thoughts have in wellness or sickness?..... The "busy mind" is quick to blame the disharmony on the world "without," ignoring our own creation of thought and feeling "within.".... Simply stated, what the mind focuses upon, can become physical matter.....Expansive, peaceful thoughts and feelings lead to an adaptive repertoire of healthy, "happy matter molecules," in our body.
The first step towards the release of outer world conflict is the release of our own conflicts within our own inner mind......Meditation returns us to the instance before thought, the timeless moment of being where there is a suspension of all wanting, all will that precedes thought. ....A sacred awareness in the continuum of consciousness where we clearly know that we are both Spirit and the melody, both Spirit and the words, both Spirit and the images and perceptions of all experiences in mind and body.....
Fifteen practical releases of stress easily implemented in daily living.... Give yourself the 5 minute space rather than rushing into interactions.
Love is not bound by distance, time, or space. It permeates even the most sterile environments....Comprehensive physiological monitoring during and after the procedure, showed that the patients, who were prayed for by the 7 religious sects, did 50-100% better than patients who were not prayed for by these groups.
Tired of pain and promises, I turned to my Spirit for discernment on what to do next in the healing of my wrist.....When we aren't awake as either healer or the person accepting healing, we simply "don't realize what we do."....Our Spirit doesn't make any mistake when it guides the mind, which in turn guides the body.
