HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE??

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who sees this post shares it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life..

Management of sleep disturbances

Management of Sleep Disorders that are secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions

Bring me my bed.  I am tired already and its only Saturday morning.  I went to bed late last night around 1:00 am in order to sleep to a more sociable time and instead I still woke up at the usual 4am time.  Three hours in my bed if that. I regularly only ever sleep five hours so I may need to find those couple later on somewhere.

When I was a tiny child I never slept well then either.   Because of this affliction  I got the nick name "Cinderella",  which was conveniently shortened to Cindy by Edith.

This name for me suited her very well as she had such a hard time even saying my mothers name which was  Ellen. My name is part of her name and she just couldn't say it. Kay said she called me all sorts of things until "Cindy" was settled upon.

Many people still call me Cindy.  A couple of people even have this name (attributed to me) tattooed on their bodies as Cindy.  My very good friend Rosey has my name on her wrist.  I had her's and I am going to get it put back now.  By order of Montana and Rosey.

Is there an Up Side to being Blue or Sad?

What is an  Inextricable Dimension of Pain?  Are these two things connected?

Firstly, inextricable pain is a trauma from missing someone beyond words.  It leaves one with an inextricable circumstance that seems to have no end.  It seemingly goes on and on and on. It appears hopelessly tangled unable to be sorted or processed.

 Sometimes seeing and hearing something remote from the original  situation is enough to trigger painful memories.  That is the weird part.  Sometimes its just a smell or a song or a word or seeing another person  that will do it.  Setting off a conveyor line of unwanted bodily responses to this stimuli. Leaving your head feeling like it's swimming.  Leaving you feeling kind of blue.


On a more positive note there is a theory that feeling blue produces certain qualities in people not otherwise found.  These qualities do have a positive because a correlation between depression and a particular type of problem solving were evident in studies done by a Swiss / American / German group.

Blue is a colour, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 450–490 nanometers.  I mentioned this in an earlier blog on the colour Blue.  I have been exploring the idea of this vibration of energy in the human body may show up as blue in Kirlian Photography .  Perhaps a blue hue is evident here when one is crying or feels like crying.

While I still don't know why,  I still find that Blue is still overly representative of being down or depressed, because in the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness, eg., "He was feeling blue". In German, on the other hand, to be "blue" (blau sein) is to be drunk. This could derive from the ancient use of urine (which is produced copiously by the human body after drinking alcohol) in dyeing cloth blue with woad or indigo.

So still I don't know why.  It may also be in relation to rain, which is usually regarded as a trigger of depressive emotions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue

I think that sadness does produce results of a kind synonymous only while that emotion is present.  I have produced some of my best creative work while being in this state of mind.  Therefore I find it safe to assume that like everything else in this life  it (sadness) needs to be evident for balance where human emotions are concerned.  If one is totally happy and lifted 100% then there is a further need to find more happiness.  Such is the nature of the beast.

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.”

And so a walk onto the ground with bare feet is so healthy for your body.  That is the type of bare feet with zero shoes not the slippers with claws type.

I don't go into the woods or the bush as we call it here in Australia alone.  It is a dangerous place the Australian bush and a friend along for the walk is advisable.  I stick to the more open paths. For example, the walk out to the beach here in front of our house on the hill or into the beach down the road further called the Sand Mines ...  It is named this because it is the drive into an area that was originally used for sand mining and now they don't do this anymore,  and thank goodness for that as well.

I like to walk out via the mangroves and see the huge male kangaroo protecting his family.   This big male roo has been here a long long time and he has seen a lot of change  here at Galayjal  Miirrlarl.

I learn everything there is from imitating nature.  We are meant to imitate these things and feel this in our spirit.  "Imitate nature and take one step at a time" - Mary Peters.  I get up with the birds and I go to sleep with them as well.  I get as much daylight into my eyes as humanly possible.

I know it helps my sadness because since I have been doing this I have changed.  I don't cry anymore like I used to all of  the time.  I guess I have finally come out of it at last.  The sadness of losing two of my children to the world and their  turning against me because I am different was a hard road to tramp.  I tramped it, and I jumped on it and I threw things at that road.

No longer do I feel this way.  The suns rays and my expectant heart worked together to perform a miracle ....  I have not cried now for approximately 7 weeks.   Well I  have shed a tear or two, but I have not cried because of this stuff.  I went with and expectant heart to see Montana again and like wow that happened immediately and I asked could I photograph birds and now the birds sit there nicely while I take their pictures.  I asked to go to Uluru and now I'm going with Uncle Tom and Suzie Kelly.

I know that I know that  the sun has a lot to do with all of this occurring  as it's a lot of co-incidences at once!  I needed a tripod to do any early photography with any level of success and so I asked what I should do and I came home that day and posted and add for a tripod and within three minutes a lady responded.   I was blessed with one for $20.00.  This tripod is brand new and it is perfect and it was only twenty dollars.  That was the figure I saw in my minds eye that I could pay ... this is what they charged. Amazing!

Now that this has been shown to me to be a powerful energy I most assuredly  am to work on myself more.  I have see that the expectant heart in front of the sun is a good thing.  The energy receptors in my body are fully charged most of the time.  Just that little extra charge and Whamo! look what happens.  I say thanks to God for this secret knowledge.  Just like most things though God gets laughed at a lot and not taken seriously.

I know people already think that I am full loopy for doing all of this sun-gazing. But  it is something that I must do now as I have been to the very depths of darkness with these problems of mine over the last two and a half years.    Now,  I finally see changes.   So now I am going for it full speed ahead now.  I need to mend these stupid relationships with my other two children.  They must see that their mother was right soon and that they other people were very wrong.  I must have patience. 
I will go before the sun today and ask for patience to be restored into my sphere of engagement with people places and things.  I am short on patience most of the time.  Frustration being one of the key things that tip me over the edge at times.  No more  now as nothing tips me these days.   Thank you Yuludarla!

The quality of a friendship is based on many different values that are considered to be positive.

These values include sympathy and empathy; trust in one another, mutual understanding and compassion, and honesty.

Friends should be able to go to each other for emotional support, provide a give and take relationship on both ends, and be able to express their feelings and mistakes without judgment.

No Light

There's no way out of this, no light, no hope.
Put out the fire that burned so bright, no truth, no home.
My footprints in the sand are cleared with morning's tide.
For nothing will remain, all will subside.

But there must be something more.....

The darkest clouds will fall, all meaning laid to waste
They tell me there's no hope, no light to guide the way.
If these shells of skin and bone are all we have,
Then I refuse to stand and watch the fire die inside. 

 A Hope for Home (commonly abbreviated to AHFH) is a band based in Portland, Oregon that formed in 2006.  Kyle one of the founding members died of cancer in 2006 just after the band formed.

This is an example of love for a friend who has passed but who will never be forgotten.  A spokes person for the band said:

Our message is simple, Believe in Hope. No matter what you are going through in your life, there is always hope. Kyle battled cancer for 6 years of his life, and lived far longer than he was ever expected. He never stopped fighting, and didn't give into hopelessness. He lived a full life through it all, and used the pain and hardships that he was going through for a much higher purpose. Hopelessness can easily take over when we are in overwhelming circumstances and it takes real strength to overcome it. Kyle found hope through his faith in God and through the love from the people in his life. When it comes down to it, those are the things that can keep you going, no matter what life throws your way. So the best way you can support our message, is be somebody's hope, help them through whatever they are going through, just like Kyle did. Thank you. Much love & God bless, The Kyle Cooke Foundation.
