You say to-mah-to I say to-may-to but it's all the same.

did you know that a Tomato is a superstar in the fruit and veggie gang? Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful cancer fighter. They're also rich in vitamin C. Another valuable bit of information is that cooked tomatoes are also nutritious, so use them in pasta, soups and casseroles, as well as in salads. The British Thoracic Society says that tomatoes and apples can reduce your risk of asthma and chronic lung diseases. They contain the antioxidant quercetin. To enjoy the benefits, eat five apples a week or a tomato every other day.

Instead of buying them at the supermarket why not grow them yourself? I have been doing this every summer for most of my life now, starting from when my father had a garden.I can tell you they taste so much better than what you get at the supermarket. Also you can grow a great variety of tomatoes too. Some of my favourites are the Cherry and Beefstake variety.

Did you know that even if you live in an apartment you can still grow tomatoes? If you are not sure how just do a Google search with the following sentence "how to grow tomatoes in an apartment" and you will be provided with many posts and videos explaining how you can get started growing your own today.

This Saturday Morning Zazen and Chi Kung Meditation Session

On the this meditation Terry will guide you magically through two exquisite types of meditation. Both date back over millennia and have been used for stilling the mind, bringing balance and healing to mind and body as well as leading towards enlightenment.

The first meditation Terry will lead is called Zazen and it's a type of meditation unique to Zen Buddhism that functions at the heart of the practice. In Japanese za means "sitting" and zen means "meditation" and so on this day Terry will lead you through "sitting meditation" Zazen style to start the day.

Next Terry will guide you gently through the movements of Chi Kung. In Taoism, chi refers to the living energy in all things. Kung is a term that refers to the achievements of long practice. Together, as Chi Kung, these words describe a relationship between someone who cultivates the chi and the discipline through positioning that they exercise.

Terry has been practicing and teaching both Zen meditation and Chi Kung for over 20 years. You will enjoy the way that he leads you first through Zazen, or sitting meditation and then gently and beautifully transitions you into Chi Kung, or moving meditation.

You can RESERVE YOUR SPOT by email or by calling 416-732-0429

Dr. Zoelena Talks About Hypnotherapy and Terry

Many years ago I had a young lady contact me through Facebook. She was a successful entrepreneur being the CEO of a company she had built from scratch called Katapult Enterprises. At the same time she was also studying to achieve her PhD.

Also around the same time she was leaving an abusive relationship and taking her three kids with her becoming a single mother while continuing to be driven by her goals. The stress was tremendous but as she started conversing with me she started realizing I had some experience with stress and how to help remedy it. Soon after she would buy my book and sell a bunch more to her colleagues and friends.

Dr. Zoelena became my client and has received coaching and hypnotherapy from me on a regular bases.

Take Time For Mindfulness, Before Time Takes You. A True Story

I just love this picture of the fox taking a moment out of his/her busy schedule to smell the flowers. Being spring I was reminiscing and remembered a student I taught private martial arts lessons to for quite some time, two times a week. He couldn't make the regular class schedule in the evenings as he ran his own construction contracting company and his work ran all day long and all too often into the evenings. He also had family life with three small kids to balance out. He was on the road a lot driving from one location to another and always seemed short on time and long on stress. One day...
