So Feelings Are Energy?

Life is easiest when seen as a giving, receiving and sharing of energy.

If we live where lies are told to us, and given no life guidance in which we can trust, it is in such conditions, that we are able to develop means – from our own creativity – to learn of, and satisfy our own real needs. 

It is easier, to learn of real human needs this way, from human wants and human desires.

This was my situation.  I learned that the only ‘control’ or ‘constant’ that I could trust, was to rely upon my own feelings for safety and for guidance, as I went about each day.  It was an easy realization for me to make, as simple as a) did it work for me and help me thrive?  Or b) did it harm me further?

What were these things known as ‘feelings’, I wondered as a small child.  

It is true that feelings are energy, that emotion is e-motion or energy in motion.

They were not considered important at all in Britain as the time.  To “grin and bear something” were instructions from my mother, as though feelings were a trivial, non consequential aspect of us.

Quite the contrary is true, however, and they are information – or communication – for us, specifically to notice, read, learn or make decisions from.  Ignoring feelings will result in us becoming unwell.

I like to repeat for readers the decision made in Victorian times, for economic growth, that “nothing exists unless there was a tool by which it could be measured”, as a reason for why feelings could so easily be ignored. 

What was unseen in Victorian times, was to remain unseen for a very long time. It is only relatively recently that such tools that can observe subtle or inner energies and auras have been developed.

It turns out that we reside inside our emotional body.   Our emotional body is part of our aura.  Our aura is the complete totality of us; where our unseen energy reaches to;  the energy our physical body is contained within.   

‘Feelings’ of the e-motion kind are not the same as messages given by nerve receptors to a specific point in the body, such as provided by neuron pathways.  It is just a vocabulary inefficiency that makes this a little unclear for us, to use the word ‘feeling’ rather than ‘sensing from a receptor’. I find I refer to these as ‘sensations’.

Feeling love, receiving love, and giving love.  That really is the mark of our achievements.  How well do we do those?  Which one do we do less well?  Use that as a guide to know what more to work on, to bring more joy to you.  To be here in the 3rd dimension – the physical – in the love/vibrational state of our source…that really what it is all about.   

Bringing a state of heaven to earth is written and spoken of in churches and gospels, but the above statement is what it really means.  The first time I came across the word ‘joy’ even was in a church song ( I loved to sing in them at our Christmas visits)   I had no idea what joy meant, I thought it was just a church word.;)

It is our responsibility to bring joy to the earth – it is not going to happen while we sit around and wait for it.   And those of us who have suffered the most, can contain the most joy.  How perfect that is.

I wondered why I felt so terrible when I was in close proximity to my own mother.  I became nauseous suddenly a few times, just from passing her in the hallway.  I became more interested in what I had heard referred to as ‘bad vibes’ and wondered what the cause of them could be.

The family home also had an energy or feeling to it that I could not relax in.  I could relate to the wording that I ‘could cut the energy with a knife” that was around my mother, and that filled most of the house. 

Ride the waves, feel happiness and delight or ecstasy, from whatever natural source, then expect any grief and anger feelings that may arise, as they leave you.  Welcome them, and welcome them leaving you.  It is simply the Law Of Energetics at work,  it is the efficiency or our design, bringing healing to us without conscious effort! : )

It is how we feel that matters, not so much what is actually happening.  Keeping myself in as joyful and relaxed state of being as I could, absolutely ensured my body heal well, after receiving many injuries in a car accident.  My cells were being newly formed, and I wanted them to be as well as possible, so I gave them as pleasant an enviroment to be formed in, myself!   Music is fantastic for this, as it can maintain our emotional state

Human health will continue to detereorate on a global scale without official recognition of the significance of our emotional wellbeing – the way we feel – to our physical framework, and the world we create around us.

Choose something today to do for yourself, our of loving kindness.  No other reason is required. : )

The Tao Of Knickers.

 Mainly for women, to assist with candida/thrush issues, I explain historically what has come about with this invention, and the situation today. We can enjoy knickers, but not at the expense of our bodily health, and unfortuately this is occurring to an enormous number of women.

Knickers are an invention by what I call ‘cold country creativity’. 

Where we are on the globe pretty much determined where our creativity led us, and what the status quo is today in terms of who invented what, when. 

Some inventions are fabulous, others good, some not so good and really needing correction, and others completely unhealthy for us. 

Over time we have been known to eliminate some, and others get passed on from one societal representative/organisational body to another to deal with.  Some are perhaps considered in the ‘too hard basket’ and remain undealt with to this day.

Knickers or undergarments to enclose the genitalia of those in female form, were the invention of cold country creativity by humans who had poor health and hygiene by today’s standards. 

The main reasons for this invention originally, and continuing, are:

1. hygiene: 

In British history, infrequent washing, due to a lack of basic health care knowledge, had people really exist in a grubby state.  Undergarments were to keep outer garments clean and to need even less washing.  Heating of water was a costly and challenging thing to achieve, and clean water itself a challenge to come by.

A joke in England I recall from the 80’s, was the making sure you had clean underpants on “in case you were hit by a car” ! No other reason, but to avoid embarrassment if you needed to go to hospital etc!  Washing only once per week,  was a very common habit, that continues even now amongst some.

2. enclosing or covering:

Men can benefit from a support garment for their largely external genital organ, and it was felt wanted for women also to be covered.

A removal of our real sexual selves, was considered needed in a constructed society that favoured hard work over relating ability.  It was not considered appropriate at all, for women to be naked under their outer garments, and as many restrictions and coverings that could be had, were had.  Corsets, petticoats, etc all were part of this at some stage.

I consider the continuing Western societal need for a woman to be wearing knickers – when there is no health reason for her to do so – to be related to the reasoning given for women in other cultures and language groups, who are covered over their outer clothes also, and, some of whom are closed further physically by way of stitches to their genitalia.  

Certainly there are other historic reasons for these, and I cover them in another writing, but important to know the relation here, as it is simply a man/woman misunderstood, human thing also.

3. Sex accessory:

Knickers are sexy to men, and many designers of knickers are men.  As women, we can feel sexy in them.  We become a package to be opened, we tease and we keep suspense as to what lies beneath.  Far far sexier to have a thong or countless layers to remove, than just to appear fully naked.

Unfortunately for many women, a consequence of no air being able to circulate the yoni/vagina, is a change in temperature leading to an altered environment that is no longer suitable for the health needs of essential micro-organisms. 

This condition is called THRUSH, an uncomfortable condition that is: itchy, stinging, swelling, painful, discharging, discoloring, tacky, sticky, all or some or any of these.

Woman is an open thing.  If we all wore a cloth tightly over our mouths, we would develop adverse conditions there also.  We would develop adverse conditions affecting the health of favourable mouth micro-organisms – even if the cloth was cotton, bamboo or another natural fibre – if circulating air is what these micro-organisms require!

My experience of the development of thrush, is huge.  I had many instances of this condition before I figured it out. 

If I alter my body temperature by a couple of degrees only, I will need to do some anti thrush/candida measures pretty quick smart.  This can be achieved with slightly cooler than body temperature /luke warm water to bring the temperature down, perhaps a couple of drops of tea tree oil added into the water if an imbalance is suspected already.  A very weak solution bicarbonate soda works well to bring an immediate balance back 1:50 should be enough, creating a solution first of a level teaspoon dissolved in warm water.

Another brilliant natural solution you may have in the house already, to bring a quick return in your favour, is a douche prepared from the ‘Inner Health” dairy free powder.  A teaspoon in a bowl of body temp water is enough, then use a syringe or douche device to completely flush the vaginal channel.    Repeat as needed.

‘Inner Health’  is a common product available in capsules or powder to return an upset stomach to health.  Certainly the environments are not identical, but the organisms are favourable for a return to a healthy state vaginally, if not so severe as to need Canesten.  These brands are great for when antibiotics interfere with our natural inner bacterial states, and our vaginal environment is often equally affected by antibiotics, if not more so, than our intestines.

Also sea mineral salts can help – Amena’s Health Centre brand – use a 2.5 – 5mls  for a small bowl of body temp water.  – for when it is not so severe that the pharmaceutical ‘Canesten’ suppositories or syringes are a necessity.   This is an excellent douche if altered cells to the cervix are found in a pap smear.  Before he passed away from old age last year, Gerry Amena shared with me a few cases where douching with the sea salts had assisted  – as part of an entire healthy life change regime – the return to healthy cervix cells.

In the Vulcana Women’s Circus, where I proudly can do a very teeny bit of what the other women can – I am always amazed at the beautiful, but severely constrictive and therefore body temperature raising  leotards and tights many of the women wear.  I practically get thrush just from looking at these clothes!;)

On a pamphlet I read about ‘thrush’ it said 90% of Australian women aged 18-24 find asking for thrush treatment embarrassing.   The pamphlet was to help these women to seek treatment without awkward embarrassment.  I read once somewhere that 3 out of every 5 Australian women may have thrush.

Whatever the real statistics, in a hot country like Australia, thrush is very common.  If there is no reason to be wearing knickers, feel comfortable to not wear them.  No one needs to know.

Women naturally occurring in hot countries wore loose garments, sarongs, grass/vine skirts, all allowing air to circulate.

Only when British (or French, or Dutch, but really another European ‘cold’ country competing with Britain for that country at the time) clothed folk, influenced by their own perceived and misunderstood superiority, visited and overwhelmed native inhabitants, did we have conditions arise when ‘cold country creativity’ clothes were largely forced on native Peoples in hot countries.   All manner of introduced illnesses and adverse effects occurred from a variety of different reasons.

There are Anion pads these days.  What these are, are sanitary pads that also release oxygen atoms.  So Yes, absolutely, the healthiest way to wear knickers, is to wear them with a liner of oxygen releasing material.  This completely counteracts the effects of wearing the knickers, as well as having enormous additional benefits.  As though you are not wearing knickers IS the healthiest way to wear knickers!

I do not wear knickers without an anion pad liner insert, as I will get thrush, unless I wear them for a very short time.

Fortunately I have my own supply of these Anion wonders as they are not available in shops.  There are an increasing number of folk becoming sales representatives as the healing benefits become more widely known.  They are the most superb sanitary invention available and they are developing more products all with women’s health in mind.   www.winalite.com  

If you need to wear jeans or other pants, putting a panty liner of kinds, in the crotch of these garments, can be a healthier alternative to wearing full knicker briefs.  

If you wear a skirt do you need to put on knickers at all…if no one will know?  It is actually largely because you are wearing something so close to your skin and natural lubrication, that your genital ‘mucous’ gets onto the gussets of your knickers, making you think you need them.  With circulating air, you remain clean.

Certainly there are times I want to be wearing knickers for protecting my clothes, for making me feel more protected from the outside world, to give a better line to my outfit, but not every day, and especially not without an oxygen releasing liner!

As women the health of our yoni/vagina is a huge determining factor in how we view of ourselves.  There is much to know about the wonder of us down there. 

Our yonis/vaginas are different and in other cultures – particularly Native American Indian wisdom’s – an enormous amount of research and learning is available for us, about how we differ according to the types of yonis there are.  Unlike the ignorance that resulted in them being covered up, they were given lovely names and insight resulted, in what it means to us, to have a certain type/shape/labia length/distance between parts etc.

But that is hot country creativity and wisdom, and more on that another time.  ‘Cold country creativity’ you are probably wearing, and possibly you live in a hot climate/country, so….get yer knickers off!!!    At least sometimes… : )

What’s the point of Christmas? (or be it a ‘culturally different’ equivalent!)

The Point Of The Celebration Called Christmas Is To FEEL GRATITUDE.

Different cultures and faiths may have another story or dreaming or tradition or myth, but the point is the same.  Human Beings gathered together to maximise an energetic vibration that is of benefit to all on earth.  There is absolutely nothing negative about cultivating masses of this frequency.

At its simplest, it is a celebration to join us together in the vibration that raises us the most.

Gratitude is the single most important feeling to raise us, for ease of passage of our consciousness, through the ether. 

Feeling gratitude is the way we can most easily connect with our spirit guides, or anyone beyond the earth plane/3rd dimension. 

So we have it in this century, in Christian tradition, that people give one another gifts, that they place under a decorated tree.  The gift giving is simply to ensure the vibrational frequency of gratitude or thankfulness is reached.  When we join together to feel something we increase and hold more securely its existence.

 The decoration of the tree, is simply to create a sacred space by way of ‘ritual’.  Taking conscious effort to create a space, makes something more powerful in meaning, more powerful in its receptivity, and its strength.  A magnification or reinforcing of intent is achieved.

Intent is a very key aspect of much that we do.  Some have said ‘intent is everything’ but I calculate to be at least 40%, with the rest just made up of being there and doing something physical to bring it about.

When we make a space sacred, we put conscious thought there, we put energy there.  The more activities we need to do to ‘prepare’ the space, the stronger the ‘spell’ will be – the stronger our foundational ‘force’ so to speak, as we send it into the ether for creative purposes.

Trees to decorate, napkins, special this, special that, things brought out only for such rituals, incense, feasts, coloured lights, special music ALL to hold an energetic space and for no other reason.

It is irrelevant, what the story behind the creation of the feeling is.  The relevance is in the creation of the feeling.  It matters not at all, what you are celebrating.

As we have historically been separated by seas and languages, it stands to reason that we have different stories.  Some of the stories have intertwined, as travels and invasions and wars have been fought, but it is still  the same vibrational need we are serving, and honouring, and just as we should as good Human Beings!

My pondering on the meaning of Christmas began at a very young age. 

My mother would stand, ordering the placement of everything, to be exactly where she dictated.  Everything had to look ‘perfect’ to her.  She gave orders in very loud and mean toned voice and there were so many rules. 

This was repeated every year.  There was not allowed to be, any variation, from what she saw ‘intellectually’ or with her mind’s eye.  She insisted she knew what it ‘should’ look like, even when others had contributed to it. 

The decorations – the most gorgeous decorations I have seen –  only created a stressful association, as she stood over whoever placed them on the tree.  Orders had to be followed.  She commanded not just where, but even how to position them on the tree, with tinsel strands being counted, so you only had two in your hand at any one time.  

She literally removed any feeling of joy that had motivated me to be near the tree, or in the sacred space.  It felt awful to be a part of the Christmas preparation under my mother’s regime.  And yes, the tree would end up looking splendid, but at what cost? 

The area was barren of joy – even more so than the rest of the house.   It was an area of low vibration, of fear and of negative associations, and there existed the danger of being reprimanded again in some way.  Fear is the absence of love, and the most negative vibrational state we can ‘achieve’. 

Our tree also had to remain ‘perfect’ to my mother’s eyes the entire time it was up, and be taken down in the same regimented style.  I longed to experience a gathering of joy, and I am so grateful I was able to experience this with another family.  who I boarded with in my late teens, after a friend’s mother arranged an alternative for me with her neighbours. 

Christmas was my favourite time of year as I so enjoyed giving.  However, I was becoming increasing disturbed by how I was caused to feel when it involved giving to my own family.  A little girl can only do her very best for so long, at planning and thinking up gifts, doing what she feels she is supposed to do, if it always resulted in disappointment and lowering of her vibration/removal of joy/sad feelings.  

There came a time when I felt the need to stop giving my mother gifts, for my own wellbeing, and as I felt responsible for the part I was playing in her ill-health.  I felt that my going along with her performance each Christmas, was condoning it, and was playing a part/participating, in its creation.

I considered that if I stopped giving her gifts it may cause her to consider a different behaviour, that it would encourage a different behaviour.  I hoped that she would be given cause to reflect,  to heal, and that it would be seen as a consequence of her actions.  It certainly was not doing me any good to be treated in such a manner consistently, and my inner guidance led me to create my own healing options.

I tried all manner of different ideas and things, over many years, for many of my mother’s behaviours.  None with any results that improved the quality of either of our lives, and I had no other alternative but to part ways.

Deprivation is a fabulous teacher, as we get smack in the face, the reasons for things!  It is precisely my deprivation of joy, at times such as Christmas, that ensured that I experienced how relevant it is.  It is in my deprivation of feeling any gratitude or thankfulness directed toward me at Christmas, that enabled me to feel how wrong that was.     

Gratitude.  That is what it is all about!  We can feel gratitude that Human Beings of other faiths/cultures/language groups are doing their bit, in their own style, to raise the vibration on earth.  

Arguing over whose ‘story’ is better than anyone else’s, that brings about the joy, and still remnant while misunderstandings remain, is actually ridiculous, and caused from ignorance (without knowledge).

 Survival against fear fulled ideas, viewed with full focusof what was infront, instead of also involving the larger picture, is the reason that judging one another’s beliefs for superiority began.  I am extremely sensitive to any misfortune caused from righteously and honourably serving one’s beliefs, that may have led to honourable injury or even death.

It is only a bigger perspective that is missing, and actually traditionally it was woman who had the role in this, and why there is movement happening across the globe to bring about a balance, with each of us able to contribute our specialties!

Why we celebrate for joy is universal – bigger even than humans! – and to be arguing over what story, and whom, is also an embarrassment when viewed with a galactic perspective! : )

Blessings to one and all.  Celebrate.  Dance. Sing.  But most important feel gratitude!  For life, the sun, the grass, the birds, the air, each other…

It is not about what you are eating or what you are wearing.  It is not about anything involving any inventions of ours.  It is about core human feelings, and we all have those!!! : ) 

Make Christmas an entire GRATITUDE DAY, if you can’t for twelve days!!  : )

Life Enhancing Top 3 Tips.

Life enhancing comes from thought control.

When you are in the place between your thoughts, and just ‘being’, all your energy goes into receiving life at that moment.  Eyesight, hearing, touch, taste and smell senses, all skyrocket! The more time spent in that place only makes them more sensitive still. 

 The word ‘bionic’ from the Bionic Man show starring Lee Majors is how I also relate to what has occurred with my vision!   The term ‘magical’ describes improvements in other senses that are unexplainable with vocabulary and understanding from my first human anatomy training.

Any touch or sexual pleasure is heightened to an unbelievable degree, as all sensory receptivity allows it to be.

In the place without thoughts, is where you also meet the other senses awaiting you, or rather you find you just have these abilities from then on, and they also only improve from the more time spent in the non thinking space.

1.  I absolutely encourage everyone to spend time locating a space between thoughts.

It is completely irrelevant in the beginning if there is one yet or not, as what you are doing is making your consciousness identify such a place.   What you are doing is laying the ground work of electrical hard wiring, so that you understand – by association – your own new vocabulary for this.

2. Know it is there.  Do it regularly.  It will be worth it I promise!!!!

Notice everything you can do that does not activate the mind, such as listening, seeing, touching and sensing.  Take to conscious awareness that these do not involve thinking, or the mind.

3.  Know that it is in the being, not the thinking that you meet you.

If you feel fear, sadness or other very strong emotions you know you are SPOT ON in the right place!!  Well done!

These are the feelings awaiting clearance from your being.  These are the accumulation of uncleared/unprocessed energies from past experiences, waiting in front of, and under, the ‘draw-bridge’ of your real true conscious self!

Imagine a castle with a moat around it from tales of old.  A castle with a drawbridge that can be lowered over the moat to allow for entry into a festive celebration inside. 

Your old remnant unexpressed energies fill the moat.  Your courage, and new-found techniques to clear them, are the drawbridge, and your enhanced and freely cleared being, is the party inside!! : )

We Know Mind, Body, Spirit, But What About The Shen?

The Shen is the aspect of us, the Human Being, that is indicative of what lies beyond.

The Shen is the shine, light or reflection we can see in our eyes.

The Shen resides in the heart chakra, and is visible when we look at something with love, or undertake an activity from a feeling of love. 

The Shen is the source of our greatest creativity.

The Shen is most visible in those of us who regularly do creative tasks from a position of love.  The Shen grows brighter and brighter, as it is regularly used.

When we tell a lie, the Shen is not visible at all, and the eye may appear to have a cloud or a dull veil thrown over it.

No one else in other dimensions will assist lies, so the absence of Shen – the absence of white light – demonstrates that you are operating on your own!

When we do an activity from our Shen, ALL that we are is enabled, so we are easily able to achieve things that may even surprise us – until we know where it comes from and grow accustomed to ‘the way’!

We have spirit guides and more who can enjoy contributing at these times, when we are in an innocence, and a purity about us, that has us holding ourselves in a fixed state of creativity, with an intent that is good for all.

It is at these times when The Shen is strongest in us.

It is at these times, with our Shen engaged, when we can literally achieve the ‘impossible’! : )

Is Who We Are The`Same As What We Are?

A big NO!!!

Who we are, is essentially what we make of ourselves, within the What.

Who we are, is everything that we see, do and say.  Our behaviours and our actions are who we are.

What we are, is what we manifest within, ie what it is, that makes up our ability to form a body, and an identity, here on the earth plane or third dimension.

What we are, is given the classification Homo Sapien : 

Named from being formed from a hominid ( a primate standing upright) that is ‘wise’.  I would like to think we could become Homo Sapien sapien, by now!  This is the body that can contain us in such a way as to allow us to do what it is we need to do for our life path.

Who we are, is given the general name Human :

‘HU’ is the frequency given to a higher source, or that which is above our crown chakra.  The frequency ‘OM’ is more familiar, and is related to a lower chakra, here on the earth plane. 

Man is short for ‘Manifestation of the One’.

Who we really are, is who we allow ourselves to become, as we evolve our soul and our being, from the start of our journey, to the very end, when we leave earth.

There are no limits to us. : )

Is Knowledge The Same As Wisdom?

A big NO!!

Knowledge is power but it is in the implementation of knowledge that lies the greatest wisdom.

Knowledge gives us the power to make informative decisions; decisions to make actions that are better – or more potentially successful – than ones without any knowledge.

It is wisdom that gives us the insight to make use of this knowledge.

It is wisdom, that gives us the potential to use knowledge well.

It is our wisdom that makes us know the benefits of using examples of past experiences, to assist us in making decisions for the future.

It is wisdom, that enables us to know when to use intellectual knowledge.

It is wisdom that enables us to know when to use intuition (unlearned knowledge) and feelings, rather than ‘intellectual thinking’.

Wisdom is how we use the totality of all knowledge contained within us, from whereever source.  That which we contain from personal experience stored within our own memory files, to the very guidance we can receive through the ether from other dimensions.

We have all the knowledge available to us that we might ever need at the moment, to make right, all damage we are doing to ourselves and our beloved planet.    The only thing we are not doing, is using the knowledge wisely…….yet. : )

Another Way Of Being.

There is a way of being, that has you choose your thoughts when you need them, and has the most useful information contained by you, arise effortlessly, when you need it.

There is a way of being, that enhances all of your senses, to a degree that continues to improve, surprising and delighting you, by becoming more enhanced a you live your life.

Life gets better and better.  As it should be, and as is the way.  Becoming aware of this, is the way to begin to receive it.  Learning tips of self-mastery, is the way to assure it, as you awaken and secure within your body, the reliable ‘hard wiring’ to make it so.

Any other way seems missing of the point really.  Do we not want to be excellent in our design?  Certainly there are reasons many of us can give as to why we do not make the most of our lives.  If we can be so much more than we are being, if we can be so much more capable than we already are, do we not owe it to ourselves – or at least our children – to find out how so? 

I was enabled a freshness and a completely unbiased view of life and humanity from my start in life.  There was no where I trusted, no one with whom I felt safe, so all information that came to me from any source, needed to be assessed by me, on its merits alone. 

Over the years I have found what a tremendous advantage this was, as I am drawn naturally to what is good for me, and what brings me joy.  And now, what has me wanting to share guaranteed life maximizing guidelines with the rest of my species!   I am enjoying bringing these writings to you! : )

I’m so over the toilet-WC-invention!;)

Let’s improve the common toilet invention why don’t we?  It was seen as such a mastery of inventing, the infamous ‘S’ Bend and the magic flushing action, but I say please lets move on can’t we?;) 

WC  or water closet.  What a waste of water for a start, and we really need to be taking water use into serious consideration for the future.

Many toilet systems in England still have the bidet in elaborate structures, a bottom washer, that you can squat over and be squirted at by, but that again is more a waste and a market design, than a good invention demonstrating sense and hygiene.

Let us not forget, that efficient removal of our waste products, is for the very reason that such bacteria and contaminants was the original and main cause of ill-health, disease and death amongst us.  This still applies to us today.

Keeping separate our faeces and urine from our essential needs of intake were, and still are, the most important considerations for maintenance of good health.

As I always say, there are good inventions and not so good inventions.  There are inventions that are not sensible at all but marketable, and harmful inventions that we have examples of needing to phase out of common use, due to the significant damage they caused.  DDT use, dangerous toys, cigarettes as a few examples.

Inventions are just something we have designed with our creativity, and there is no reason whatsoever that we cannot improve upon them with our improved knowledge.

May I suggest a mirror on the underside of the toilet as something that I consider necessary.  I used to have a round one stuck to the underside in one house , and in my house these days I have a mirror on the wall in proximity to the toilet for easy viewing.

If our very life and health depends upon good hygiene, and the very root cause of ill-health used to be from contamination with our waste products, then it stands to reason that we should combine the invention of the mirror if it can assist us with keeping ourselves clean?  No?

Many folk have healing to do in relation to their own connection with these lower body parts, and I feel a mirror would assist with this also.  Many preventable disorders would be observed long before they became more serious.

As  woman I can share of many other useful reasons for a mirror as we maintain ourselves in the best health possible.  Sometimes a quick look in a mirror of changes in colour or anything else can give us insight long before we feel any discomfort, and how sensible to do it as part of regular toileting.

A simple rule of life, is to look after our body the best we can afterall.  Lets ‘get over’ ourselves, and embrace every part of us;)   Also, I don’t enjoy particularly sharing the room I bathe in, with a toilet.  If it can’t be outside – and I ask why not – then better if in a separate room altogether.

The Tv show Dr Oz, had a wonderful and explanatory episode showing tests they had done in a lab on personal items from audience member’s bathrooms.  Tooth brushes, shower-caps, jars to hold toothbrushes, all showed intestinal bacteria present on them – from poo.

How many of us are told that the lid of the toilet prevents intestinal bacteria and whatever else is lurking in the toilet, from travelling 20 feet in water vapour particles whenever it is flushed?

Drop toilets are extremely practicable and there are wonderful composting systems available so you can turn your waste into productive waste for the earth.  I looked into many of these in my ecology training, and Wilderness Society/Greens/Conservation Council involvements.

The design in Muslim countries has a much better usage of water, where you use it to clean yourself, rather than using it to assist your waste to travel away from you!  Squatting lower to the ground allows for a better position to assist its removal, and water can be accessed with implements if not a spray nozzle device attached to the wall.

In some of the fine hotels in Bali and Indonesia I visited for my studies of  Orang Utans, I have experienced the best designs of a nozzle and hose attached to the wall that enabled the most complete and easy clean of all.  It is the winner so far, in the  categories of good health, great design and common sense!

The nozzle was in easy access, and extremely flexible with a soft, small but strong spray that could be directed expertly.   It makes far greater sense to use water this way, than to use it to chase the faeces fancily away from you while you wipe yourself, unseen, with a piece of dry tissue!!;)

Wiping yourself without any moisture at all – and without even a mirror!- does not make for 100% as squeaky clean as you can be every time.  The common term ‘skid marks’ in the English language, given to fecal stains found in a streak shape in the back sea of your undies, can attest to this.

My British Grandfather used to frighten some of the grandkids with his toilet antics.  He was very strict about only 3 pieces of toilet paper being used – 3 of the perforated squares only. ” One to wipe, one to polish, and one to shine” he would order.

He would inspect the role to paper to check up on you.  he would remind you of the strict rules before you needed to go, and he would enquire about it from his comfy chair, after you had been.  There was always the fear that he would visit you in there, when he was mobile enough to do so.

This is a classic example of priorities being lost.  More important that a child learns correct hygiene and reason for keeping oneself clean after toileting, than fear inducement or saving pennies on buying toilet paper from the shop.

Feedback I have received from folk talking of lovers they have had, who had not “wiped themselves properly” at one time or another, suggests it is the habit of just wiping themselves, that is not really a ‘properly’ or  an ‘adequate’ thing to do!

I am a huge fan of us all combining our strengths, passions and expertise as we live together, on, and as a part of, the organism ‘Earth’.  Lets do something better and wiser- the earth over- with our intelligence and our waste removal! : )
