Positivity is often misunderstood as simply “thinking happy thoughts.”  In reality, resilience —the ability to adapt and bounce back from challenges—is at the core of genuine positivity. Research shows optimism is linked to longer life expectancy, lower stress levels, and healthier relationships. But true positivity isn’t blind cheerfulness; it’s a skill that can be cultivated through daily habits. Here are eight powerful ways—blending psychology, western medicine, and energy practices—to build lasting positivity and resilience. 1.  Practice Optimism with Realism Optimism doesn’t mean ignoring problems—it means approaching them with the belief that solutions are possible.

How to do it:  When faced with a challenge, pause and ask:  “What’s one small step I can take?”  This shifts the brain from rumination to probl...

But in modern life, fear often outstays its welcome—lingering long after the danger is gone, or appearing where no danger exists. That’s where the art of  rewriting fear  comes in. Recent breakthroughs in brain science reveal something profound: when we “unlearn” fear, the brain doesn’t just delete old memories . Instead, it creates an entirely new safety signal, one that competes with and eventually softens the old alarm. At the same time, energy-based approaches and body practices show us how to transform fear into awareness, connection, and even wisdom. Here are three powerful ways the brain, body, and mind work together to reshape our relationship with fear. 1. Brain Rhythms at Work: Rewiring Fear from Within Imagine you’re shown a picture of a neutral face. Suddenly, a piercing scream blares in your ear. Your brain instantly wires tha...

Menopause is a universal rite of passage marked by the end of menstruation—typically around age 52—but it doesn’t affect only the body. It touches emotions, energy, and mental clarity. As reproductive hormones wane, many find themselves grappling with hot flashes, mood shifts, insomnia, and a sense of disconnection. This article explores how Western science and energy medicine converge to support heart, body, and mind, offering a holistic path through this transition. 1.  Cool the Body: Calming Hot Flashes with Science and Energy Medicine Hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disruptions are frequent unwelcome guests in menopause. Acupuncture and acupressure, key practices in energy medicine, are particularly notable for their tangible results. A large NIH-funded trial showed acupuncture reduced hot flashes by about one-third, with benefits lasting months after treatment ended. Meta-analyses confirm acupuncture consistently lowers the frequency and severity of hot flashes , improvi...
