Happy Halloween 2007

It’s Halloween night again here in North America. Naturally this holiday brings up thoughts of costumes and candy, but what about the environmental impact? The writers of this blog have been hard at work providing environmentally friendly tips, Halloween pumpkin recipes, Naughty costumes and a way to remove any fears that originated with your first scary experience many years ago.

Scott Bird, from Australia is passionate about the environment and posts something environmental related each Sunday. His Halloween contribution is about 10 Environmentally Friendly Halloween Tips. Scott also writes about food and cooking and his newest project is on worm farms. He’s hard at work, writing a book about building a worm farm from start to finish. Expect that soon

With all the Halloween pumpkins available for carving, Darlene and I thought, “why not come up with some recipes and cook them?”. So we did just that.

Halloween Recipes

  • Pumpkin and Corn Chowder
  • Pumpkin Apple Curry

This is Darlene’s Pumpkin Apple Curry

Darlene and I release a new whole food recipe each Saturday and we’ve still got two more recipes yet to post, one of which we made just this morning, a pumpkin pancake recipe and the other a pumpkin and butternut squash soup. The soup is yummy.

I first asked Michele if it was possibly pets that she was passionate about, but she told me in no uncertain terms that it was in fact relationships.

Michele has been contributing some great articles on the subject including a Naughty Halloween Costume article to spice up your bedroom. Great any time of the year.

My buddy Scott Tousignant, author of The Fit Bastard and The Fit Chic e-books contributed a Halloween Workout video that makes use of the Halloween decorations you might have around your house. Proof that you can make use of anything handy to get in a workout.

Halloween Fear

Yes, it’s real. I remember as a kid seeing some pretty scary shit out there on the streets and at such a young age, can wreak havoc on our little, impressionable brains.

What if scary experiences from our childhood Halloween nights have now caused us fear of other things? And more importantly, how can we get rid of the fear?

Dawn Murray is a friend of mine who I turned to for help with my own emotional shit. Dawn is a Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner and does work by phone or in person. She recently contributed her Fear of Halloween Night article.

Emotional Freedom Technique is a major contributing factor in weight gain and weight retention as far as I’m concerned. That fear and negative emotion is also toxic and can be stored as acidic waste in our bodies. Any sort of work you can do to remove these fears will take your body to a new level of health and peace. I highly suggest you have a look at it. Talk to Dawn for more information.

Please be safe this Halloween everyone. Kids may have a hard time seeing you in your car through their Halloween masks. Their attention is elsewhere, so please be extra careful when driving. If you don’t have to drive tonight, don’t.

Fear Of Halloween Night

You remember the fun you had Halloween night? Lots of tricks and treats but many of us are still suffering from a scare they got. Oh, princesses and Jedi are warm and fuzzy, but witch costumes, Dracula and ghosts conjure up scarier things and can leave your traumatized when you are young and vulnerable. Fear of Halloween night is a real fear. When as a grown man or woman you freak out if you see a spider, a mouse, a bird or moth and it sends you screaming like a little kid and when it’s all over you feel so foolish but at the time it’s as real as if those little creatures are 10 feet tall and will truly do major harm to you.

Fear Of Spiders, Ghosts or Spirits

We call them Halloween Spooks. Were you ever afraid of them, is there still some lingering fear of spiders, ghosts, spirits or things that go bump in the night (or day)?

We find there are spiders and moths in many areas of our lives, some are just bigger and cause a greater disruption in our energy system than others.

Many people know how to get rid of fears and trauma’s with Emotional Freedom Technique but I encourage you to find out for yourself if there is some residue left from Halloween ghosts.

How Emotional Freedom Technique Can Reduce The Stress In Your Life.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can reduce stress the stress in your life including the fear of public speaking. They say the Fear of Public Speaking is the fear that affects most people today and if you have ever had the misfortune to be in front of many or few of your peers and have had to fight for breath control, to wrestle with your heart rate, try to dry your sweaty palms and pits and plead with your tongue to just speak clearly and slowly, you can relate to those folks to attempt to do it regularly. Emotional Freedom Technique is a simple method you can learn yourself, takes only a few short minutes before you stand up to speak and calms all fears of sounding stupid and feeling worse.

EFT can do all that and more. It works especially for the fear of public speaking and has a money back guarantee.

Emotional Freedom Technique And Work Stress

emotional freedom technique stressWhat about the stress you have at work? The job itself is enough to drive a person to drink and then there’s your boss!! The boss is never happy, you never get enough done, or do it right. Well then what about the jerks that you work with? Do they get a kick out of pushing you over the edge? And if you are the boss, can you believe the childish pre-schoolers that you hired and thought they were competent? You run a business not a kindergarten. Sometimes it’s hard to be enthused about getting up to face the day. What if you could wake up with a desire to live life as an adventure not a drudgery? EFT can do that! What if you loved the work you do? EFT can do that too! And the boss, are you saying EFT can make the boss a Joy to work with? Yes, that’s right? And those jerks you work with as well. Now really, we really can’t change anyone else or make them go away, but with EFT you can change how you see your world and all things in it and who else’s stress are you concerned about anyway?
