Negative energy can be disastrous to a person’s life
Negative energy can be disastrous to a person’s life. It can cause general bad luck, health problems, etc. Often when a person thinks that they are cursed or hexed, the real problem is negativity.
Some Things that generate or can cause Negative Energy
Your own Negative Thoughts and words
Pessimism can be very damaging to a person’s life. On a physical level, constant pessimism can lead to low self esteem and negative subconscious programming. If you are constantly looking at things in a negative way, you could develop a self defeating "I can't" type of personality.
Pessimism can also be damaging on a spiritual level. Thoughts are more powerful than most people realize. This is because thoughts generate energy.
Enough concentrated negative thought can cause negative things to happen. That is why it is so important to be optimistic. If it looks as if something negative is going to happen, instead of dwelling on it, take measures to prevent it.
Negative Thoughts of others
An unbalanced person that constantly thinks negative thoughts about you or wishes you ill can cause you problems. This is especially a problem with jealous people. I have had these problems myself with certain relatives. I noticed that every time I got around certain members of my family, I would feel bad, and often become ill.
At first I thought it was just my imagination, so I started keeping a journal and noticed the same things consistently happening everytime I got around certain people. These people by their words always had something negative to say to me. They would constantly criticize me or tell me why I could not do a particular thing I had planned to do etc. Anything that good that happened to me, they would belittle or almost seem to get angry over it.
Discontinuing contact with these people solved my problems, so you may want to consider this if the problem is bad enough. If this isn’t an option, try carrying a piece of hematite to absorb the negativity when ever you must be around these people or speak to them. Be sure to clean it periodically to remove any negativity it may have absorbed
Also keep in mind that YOUR negative thoughts towards others will be returned to you, same as anything else you do. Negative energy can be disastrous to a person’s life. It can cause general bad luck, health problems, etc. Often when a person thinks ... more -

the army + yoga = the scientific research the medical industry won't fund
the army is handing out $4million in grants to research the effects of alternative therapies on PTSD. therapies proposed for study run the gamut:
"Music, animal-facilitated therapy, art, dance/movement, massage therapy, EMDR [Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing] program evaluation, virtual reality, acupuncture, spiritual ministry, transcendental meditation, [and] yoga," might all be considered worth of the military's largess. So would "biologically-based treatments, botanicals, and nutritional supplements for enhancing cognitive function and mood in patients with trauma spectrum disorders, including TBI and/or PTSD, depression, anxiety, and/or substance dependence/abuse." Even proposals for wild-sounding "therapies using bioenergies such as Qi gong, Reiki, distant healing and acupuncture" would be accepted.
the popular theory is that the only reason these alternative means of healing have not already been further researched is because of the totalitarian grip of the medical/pharmaceutical industry on research $$, so it will be interesting to see what comes of this!

Remember this horrifying story?
According to the link below it it hasn't changed.
Where is our outrage?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FDA and Drug Approval Overview
Vioxx was one of the most widely used prescription drugs in the world and, for many, it may have been a killer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to guarantee the safety of the medicines we take, but some say it may have disregarded warnings from its own scientists about this looming public health disaster. NOW's BAD MEDICINE explores the drug approval process and talks with FDA whistleblower, Dr. David Graham, who reveals how his FDA managers tried to silence him and quash evidence that indicated Vioxx was unsafe.
Approval Process
The drug approval process overseen by the FDA has been subject to complaints from many sides. In the 1990s it was criticized for being too slow ? keeping potentially life-saving drugs off the market and adding to development costs. The most recent controversies come from another perspective, questioning whether the process is too quick and relies too much on information from the pharmaceutical industry.
Approving prescriptions drugs is the job of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The process begins when a manufacturer has tested a new drug on animals and concluded three phases of testing on humans. The results from this process forms the basis of a "new drug application" (NDA), which the company submits to the CDER.
The NDA is then reviewed by CDER scientists who evaluate both the efficacy and safety of the drug and its risk/benefit ratio. The CDER reviewers may request more information from the developer and seek additional opinions from outside experts. CDER also checks the label information and investigates the manufacturing plant. The CDER director completes a final review and decides if the drug is ready for market. View an interactive graph of the process from CDER.
Some of the criticism Dr. Graham has leveled at the FDA process relates to what happens after a drug is approved. The FDA is also charged with monitoring drug safety of drugs on the market. The FDA tracks "adverse events" or negative "side effects" of drugs through the Office of Drug Safety, also a part of CDER. An adverse effect is a reaction which "results in death, disability, hospitalization, is life-threatening, causes a congenital anomaly, or requires treatment to prevent permanent damage."
Doctors and other healthcare personnel usually report these occurrences to the drug companies which are in turn required to notify the FDA of any serious incidents within 15 days of the original report. If a drug is new, the company must forward all reports quarterly for three years. After that time, all reports are filed annually. In addition, the FDA maintains a system of voluntary reports called MedWatch. Here, consumers and health care workers can submit reports which are then sent on to staff for evaluation.
In his November 2004 testimony before Congress, Dr. Graham suggested that the FDA is reluctant to admit that there are problems with drugs it has already approved. The FDA responded to Dr. Graham's testimony with a public rebuttal. In December 2004, THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (JAMA) echoed some of Graham's criticism, publishing a series of papers which question the relationship of drug companies to the approval process. According to THE ECONOMIST, the makers of some of the drugs mentioned by Dr. Graham are feeling a financial effect. AstraZeneca's share price fell by 10%. Shares in GlaxoSmithKline fell by 6%. And as for Merck, the maker of Vioxx, traders have made a $40 billion reduction in the company's value. (Read Dr. Graham's testimony and the JAMA articles.) Remember this horrifying story?

Integrated health promises to reduce rising health costs in the nation
The world of alternative medicine--meditation, yoga, acupuncture and a host of related therapies--will celebrate a coming-of-age moment on Nov. 30. In Durham, N.C., Christy Mack and her husband John Mack, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley, will officially open the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine. They personally financed the center with $10 million from the C.J. Mack Foundation.
The center represents an acknowledgment of sorts by the established medical community of the potential, yet highly controversial, benefits of these alternative therapies. The Duke Center will be open to anyone from across the globe, not just members of the Duke community. Cottages will be built in the woods nearby as living facilities for out-of-town visitors.
The idea for the Duke Center was the result of a collaboration between Dr. Ralph Synderman, former head of the Duke Medical Center, Dr. Tracey Gaudet, a Duke physician, and Christy Mack, who prefers the term "integrative medicine" over alternative medicine. The daughter of a Greensboro, N.C., doctor, she is heavily involved in the movement to blend treatments aimed at helping the mind and spirit with the use of conventional medicine like drugs and surgery. She believes that the former are just as essential to health as antibiotics and surgery or technological breakthroughs.
"The practice of medicine should be focused with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit and community," says Mack, who herself is a trained practitioner of Reiki, an ancient Eastern massage technique that she claims transmits energy to the patient.
To further the cause, Mack and a group of like-minded philanthropists five years ago formed a nonprofit organization, the Bravewell Collaborative.
Bravewell is not some flaky New Age group. Among its 29 members are Earl Bakken, founder of Medtronic (nyse: MDT - news - people ), the pacemaker company; Bruce Dayton, the former CEO of the Dayton Hudson retail store chain; and Bill Sarnoff, nephew of RCA founder David Sarnoff.
"We want Bravewell to be a catalyst for change, and we think we are reaching the tipping point," says Mack, who won't be satisfied until the medical establishment accepts her point of view as an integral part of their profession.
Her husband John Mack, a Wall Street titan, who himself is chairman of the board of trustees of New York Presbyterian Hospital, says he has been "moved by the passion and dedication of Christy's doctors to improving people's health by treating the whole person, not just the disease" by means of drugs and surgery. He has seen first-hand how one of his leading bankers came back from a debilitating illness by "taking up meditation seriously," Mack says, "even in the taxicab coming to work." The Macks, along with other Bravewell members, also raised money for the PBS special this year, "The New Medicine," which featured the use of hypnosis and guided imagery as techniques to reduce pain and help ill people lead active lives. The special won the Freddie Award for Health and Science Media in the area of health and wellness.
