You know how the Buddhist monks talk about the swinging monkeys of the brain, and how you need to tame them? Well, my monkeys have just spotted a jungle gym inside a McDonald’s and are having a grand old time. I don’t think they will be settling down anytime soon. Alas. I will quote from a dude who has this mindful thing mastered: Howard Thurman, who died in 1981, and was a mystic, theologian, minister, and activist. His grandmother, who raised him with his mother, was a slave and was, for him, a great example of courage and faith. Anyway, here he is on the importance of rest and our fear of it. We must find sources of strength and ren...

As my husband, Eric, and I talked about what we should do in this financial crisis, it occurred to me that the same tools that I use for my general anxiety disorder can be applied to frenzy triggered by the economy: when you fret about losing your home, car, stocks, junk bonds, retirement savings, college funds, and everything else in the lyrics of a bad country song (truck, sorry forgot the truck). 1. Ignore Amy The amygdala, the almond-shaped group of neurons in the limbic system of the brain, is considered by most neurobiologists our fear system, and it acts like an ape or a human would have acted, say, back when we still had lots of hair all over. The adrenaline th...

His Post: Ive looked all over the internet and still have not found more then 5 people who have quit suboxone like i have. I took it for 12 months taper...

Glaswegian Labour MP Ian Davidson (reportedly the Pa Broon of Labour politics) asked Nicholson if the Was GPs huge pay rise not "a manifestation of sheer unadulterated naked greed"? When Nicholson said no, Pa quipped that it must be only "slightly adulterated naked greed".Full story here (Source: NHS Blog Doctor) NHS Blog Doctor blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1331347 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:45:00 +0100 1331347 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1196700&cid=t_224122_87_f&fid=34595&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnhsblogdoc.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F02%2Fgreedy-gps-devil-has-his-say.html An excellent post from The Devil on the battering that GPs are currently taking from the government quoting in full a long letter from a GP who is on the GPC. The only problem with that, of course, is the the General Practitioners Committee is a subsection the BMA.The General Practitioners Committee (GPC) is a committee of the BMA with authority to deal with all matters affecting NHS general practitioners. It is the only body which represents all GPs in Great Britain, whether or not they are members of the BMA. (BMA)A characteristically arrogant and dishonest statement by the BMA who are so far up the arse of the government that they are close to being an official spokesman. Let us not forget their cynical betrayal of the junior hospital doctors during the MTAS battles. The BMA is not auth...
