These Hindus’ theme is “Take Back Yoga.”

Sure. IT can go back from whence it came. Just give us the Yogis and Yoga-followers — for JESUS!

Let’s claim them for the Kingdom – I was one of them for 22 years.

From Beyond Organic Insider, by Jordan Rubin.

By now, you are probably aware that a case of Mad Cow Disease was confirmed this week. The cow in question was discovered in California, and already it has set off a chain reaction of government pundits and food experts rushing in to say there isn’t a problem.

Well, yes and no. There have only been four cases of Mad Cow Disease ever found in the United States. However, what gets glossed over is how a common practice in conventional cattle management can contribute to the spread of this nasty disease. It’s one of the ugly truths that Big Dairy doesn’t want you to know about. If you’re squeamish, you may not want to read what I’m about to tell you.

It is common practice in the dairy industry to turn cattle into cannibals. That’s right, to turn a natural plant-eating animal into a cannibal. “Waste” product from slaughtered cows is routinely turned into “feed” that goes back to the livestock herd. In what I find to be the most appalling example, the blood from these slaughtered animals is sometimes dried and added back to the “replacer” milk for calves. You heard that right, young calves often drink blood.  And, it’s perfectly legal to allow this to happen, and it’s been going on for decades!

The following is taken directly from the FDA’s website: For those that don’t know “BSE” stands for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopath and is the scientific name for Mad Cow Disease. Here is the direct quote from the FDA website:

How was BSE spread?It is thought that BSE was spread via meat-and-bone meal fed to cattle. The practice of using this material as a source of protein in cattle feed has been common for several decades. In the late 1970s there was a change in the production (rendering) process used to make this meat and bone meal. One hypothesis has been that this change permitted the infectious agent of scrapie (a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or TSE, of sheep) to survive the rendering process, and get transmitted to other animals, such as cows, that are fed meat-and-bone meal nutritional supplements. An inquiry by the British government has however, concluded that scrapie infected MBM was not the source of BSE nor was the change in the rendering practices responsible for survival of the BSE agent. Rather, this inquiry has stated that BSE may have originated spontaneously as a result of a genetic mutation and was amplified by the feeding of contaminated MBM to cattle

Please, please, please STOP supporting the producers who adhere to the practice of turning cattle into cannibals. Yes, the practice is unsafe, but more than that it’s inhumane.

The 3rd Annual WE Inspire Conference – a conference of Excellence

The 3rd Annual Women Entrepreneurs Inspire Conference was held at the Cox Convention Center in OKC. Women from all over Oklahoma were in attendance. It is an opportunity for woman to be inspired to start new ventures, or be encouraged in their present ventures.

WE Inspire, recognized as one of “The Top Ten Conferences for Female Entrepreneurs,” attracted nearly 1,000 women for the one-day symposium from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. The event is hosted by the Riata Center for Entrepreneurship in Oklahoma State University’s Spears School of Business.

“Women are the fastest growing segment of small business start-ups in the nation and make an enormous contribution to our economy in terms of job creation, spending power and other areas,” said Nola Miyasaki, Norman C. Stevenson chair and director of the Riata Center.

Despite the recent growth, however, she explains that female-owned businesses continue to lag behind male-owned businesses in terms of numbers, revenue, and access to capital. “There is still high potential for growth among women-owned businesses and a great opportunity for them to be more and more successful, which is why we spend the time and effort to make the WE Inspire Conference a world-class event,” said Miyasaki.

WE Inspire 2012 explored the obstacles, demands and challenges women face when creating and growing their own businesses. With the goal of helping women create and sustain their own companies, the conference is aimed at providing resources they need to turn their business ideas into workable business models.

The conference is geared broadly towards women who have just started a business, those who may only have an idea for a new business, and women who are looking to grow their existing businesses. WE Inspire is a resource-packed day featuring both local and national entrepreneurial role models discussing their failures and successes, as well as providing conference attendees with the latest in business development and strategy. With nearly 1,000 women entrepreneurs expected and more than 30 acclaimed speakers in attendance, the conference is also an incredible networking opportunity.

Thank you all who made this such an amazing event.

Suero Viv is an amazing health drink that can help:

* Give you a Strong Immune System

* Promotes Weight Loss

* Helps with Blood Sugar (helpful for Diabetics)

* Helps Lower Blood Pressure

Beyond Organic’s Suero Viv is a fermented whey drink, flavored with organic essential oils, and is a new spin on an ancient drink.  The ancient Greek “father of medicine” Hippocrates prescribed whey to his patients, and it’s often referred to as the gold standard of protein.  It has also been called “healing water” and all traditional cultures consume it.

Swiss health resorts in the 1700s-1800s were built around a whey-based health tonic. Now Beyond Organic has reVIVed an old standard.

How I wish my father had access to SueroViv when he was suffering with diabetes and heart disease which eventually took his life. Many have reported their insulin levels have gone down on this beverage.  One lady said that no matter what she eats, after drinking the SueroViv, her insulin levels went down!

Diabetes has TRIPLED in 10 Years!

We all know someone who deals with the difficulties of diabetes. I’ve heard of people who had to exercise for 1-2 hours after dinner just to get their blood sugar levels down. It’s almost miraculous that these same people are finding drinking a glass of SueroViv is having a similar effect!

SueroViv contains whey (remember Little Miss Muffet?), Reign Supreme spring water, organic essential oils, electrolytes (perfect balance of sodium and potassium), probiotics, enzymes, organic juices and organic raw honey.

Some of the amazing benefits of whey include:

* Helping your pancreas-produced insulin work more effectively, which helps maintain your blood sugar level after a meal

* Promoting healthy insulin secretion

* Helping to promote your optimal intake of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals needed for your overall wellness

* Supporting your immune system, as it contains immunoglobulins

* Helping you preserve lean body tissue (particularly during exercise) as it delivers bioavailable amino acids and cystein

* Maintaining blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range

That makes sense! The pure, organic whey from GreenFed cows, packed with probiotics and loaded with enzymes helps the pancreas and thereby lowers insulin levels naturally! Wow!

Whey also gives you a strong immune system, promotes weight loss,  gives energy to the body, and is loaded with probiotics and enzymes! Not bad for a simple drink!

Say “NO WHEY!” to Cheap Whey

Don’t be fooled by whey protein powders that are not organic and highly processed. If you want to experience the same benefits others are receiving from they whey in SueroViv, do as they do! Drink a whey beverage that is organic, from totally GreenFed cows, and properly fermented — a living, cultured dairy beverage.

I will soon be releasing information on an AWESOME SueroViv cleanse you can do. I dropped 10 lbs. in 8 days on the SueroViv Detox — and you can, too! It’s amazing and the energy and well-being are unparalleled.

Yoga, on the other hand, moves other spiritual forces with which we do not want to align ourselves.

This is from the New York Time article with the comment: “Yoga fans sexual flames and predictably, plenty of scandal.”

Yoga and Sex Scandals: No Surprise Here

By WILLIAM J. BROAD, Published: February 27, 2012

IN RETREAT John Friend’s sexual indiscretions upset many devotees of Anusara yoga, which he founded. Mark Sullivan /WireImage

The wholesome image of yoga took a hit in the past few weeks as a rising star of the discipline came tumbling back to earth.

After accusations of sexual impropriety with female students, John Friend, the founder of Anusara, one of the world’s fastest-growing styles, told followers that he was stepping down for an indefinite period of “self-reflection, therapy and personal retreat.”

Mr. Friend preached a gospel of gentle poses mixed with openness aimed at fostering love and happiness.

But Elena Brower, a former confidante, has said that insiders knew of his “penchant for women” and his love of “partying and fun.”

Few had any idea about his sexual indiscretions, she added. The apparent hypocrisy has upset many followers.

“Those folks are devastated,” Ms. Brower wrote in The Huffington Post. “They’re understandably disappointed to hear that he cheated on his girlfriends repeatedly” and “lied to so many.”

But this is hardly the first time that yoga’s enlightened facade has been cracked by sexual scandal. Why does yoga produce so many philanderers? And why do the resulting uproars leave so many people shocked and distraught?

One factor is ignorance. Yoga teachers and how-to books seldom mention that the discipline began as a sex cult — an omission that leaves many practitioners open to libidinal surprise.

Hatha yoga — the parent of the styles now practiced around the globe — began as a branch of Tantra. In medieval India, Tantra devotees sought to fuse the male and female aspects of the cosmos into a blissful state of consciousness.

I’m often asked what time of day I consider the best time to exercise. The short answer is, “Any time you will exercise is the best time!” Additionally, once you have a routine established, stick with it.

According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), those who exercise in the morning are most successful in making exercise a habit. ACE also recommends that if you prefer an early morning workout, “emphasize stretching and a good warm-up to insure that your body is ready for action.”

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a stretching program (like PraiseMoves!) be done 2-3 times per week.

In recent years, scientists have been exploring the area of “circadian rhythms,” the internal clocks God put in place within our physical bodies.

You’ve GOT RHYTHM…

Circadian rhythms, the daily cycles which govern certain physical processes, originate in the hypothalamus just above the brain stem. They regulate everything from body temperature and blood pressure to metabolism.

The influence of circadian rhythms on body temperature seems to have the greatest effect on the quality of the workout we have. When your body temperature is at its highest, your workouts appear to be more productive. They are likely to be less productive when your body temperature is low.

Your body temperature is lowest one to three hours before you wake up in the morning, and at its highest late in the afternoon.  Later in the day your muscles are warmer and more flexible, reaction time is quicker, blood pressure and resting heart rate are lower, and strength is at its peak.

Since studies have shown that exercise during these late afternoon/early evening hours produces better results, this may be a good choice for you. However, if you are a procrastinator (as I have been!), it may be wiser to stick to early morning workouts so you don’t melt into the couch after a hard day at the office.

Finding Your Peak Body Temperature

This will take a bit of work, but worth it if you really want to know your circadian peak body temperature.

1. Record your temperature every couple of hours for 5 or 6 days in a row. Body temps usually fluctuate by 1.5 degrees plus or minus throughout the day.

2. Try exercising during the period 3 hours after your highest body temperature.

For most people, this will fall in the range between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. If you are an early bird or night owl, the times may fluctuate 2-3 hours on either side of that, so adjust accordingly.

The ABSOLUTE BEST Time to Exercise

If stress relief is your goal, exercise always works, all of the time. And if you’re wondering when it’s best to train for an upcoming event, it all depends on what time you’ll actually be competing. If an upcoming marathon begins at 7:00 a.m., try training at that time of day.

In addition, combining exercise with the Word and prayer (as we do in PraiseMoves!) can help make a good habit even better — “Transforming your workouts into worship!”

Several popular fast food chains have agreed to using the filler. But what about the beef at your local grocery store?

And you thought “Frankenfood” and Genetically Modified Organisms in the food supply were bad!

According to new reports, this chemical-laden filler is found not only in fast food burgers, it’s in 70 percent of the ground beef Americans purchase at the supermarket.

“It is economic fraud. It’s not fresh ground beef. It is a substitute,” said Gerald Zirnstein, a former U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist.

While the beef industry calls it “lean finely textured beef,” this pink slime was once only used in cooking oil and dog food.

Now the waste is collected, treated, and then sprayed with ammonia to kill any bacteria. Then it’s added to ground beef as a cheap filler.

But don’t go to the grocery store looking to find pink slime on any food labels. USDA officials allow the beef industry to label it as meat, according to Custer.

“The undersecretary said, ‘It’s pink; therefore, it’s meat,’” Custer noted.

The person who approved the mix was former Undersecretary of Agriculture Joann Smith. After stepping down from the USDA, she was appointed to the board of directors of Beef Products, Inc. who makes the beef filler. She’s made more than $1 million while serving on the board over the past 17 years. ~ Source: CBN News Report

GoBeyondHealthyNow.com to learn about living “BEYOND Organic!”

From “I Like it Organic.com” — Organic products can be more expensive than regular products. Are they worth the extra cost? The right answer to that question is: it depends.

The main reason for choosing organic over regular products is to avoid contamination from toxic pesticide residues. Fruits and vegetables may retain more or less contamination depending on several factors, including how porous their skin are or how likely they are targeted by pests in the first place.

Which to choose Organic?

Always choose organic for the first 12 items in this list (The Dirty Dozen).

Feel free to choose regular products for the bottom 15 items (The Clean Fifteen).

The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides ranks pesticide contamination for 53 popular fruits and vegetables based on an analysis of 51,000 tests for pesticides on these foods, conducted from 2000 to 2009 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the federal Food and Drug Administration. Nearly all the studies on which the guide is based tested produce after it had been rinsed or peeled. Contamination was measured in 6 different ways:

• Percent of samples tested with detectable pesticides
• Percent of samples with two or more pesticides
• Average number of pesticides found on a single sample
• Average amount (level in parts per million) of all pesticides found
• Maximum number of pesticides found on a single sample
• Total number of pesticides found on the commodity

Crops were ranked based on a composite score from all categories.
