Dr Lianis Bidot: Some Stress Relief Tricks

In this hurried and stressful life we live in we forget to take care of the most important person, yourself.  You hurry from one thing to another eating unhealthy foods, not exercising or taking care of your body. We forget that if our health is poor we cannot help or support our families and we cannot fulfill our mission in this world.

There are many things you can do that do not take that much time. Start with gratitude. It is said that gratitude with increase your frequency, to a frequency closer to love. Before you get out of bed in the morning or while you are getting ready to go to work in the morning, give thanks to everything good in your life. This could be having a roof over your head, having food to eat, being grateful for your family or animals, the bed you slept on, waking up and having another day in this world, etcetera.  You will start seeing life in a totally different way.

Relaxation is also lacking in our society, we are always rushing from one place to another. Your stress hormones are always in high gear causing havoc with your body.   Relaxation is needed to reduce these stress hormones and their effects on our body. One way to relax is by meditation or prayer. All it takes is at least 5 minutes a day working toward at least 20-30 minutes twice a day. There is no special position required to meditate, just relax your body and refocus from your surroundings. Many people have a mantra, something they repeat to keep out other thoughts in their brain, or they focus on their breathing. For some people praying is like meditation, they are focused in their talk with God and the love they share. Your body will be relaxed, your blood pressure will be lower and you will be happier.

A bath with salts and essential oils is another way to relax and take time for your self.  It will relax your muscles and make you less tense.  Using epsom salt in your bath will help replenish the magnesium in your body that most Americans are low in.  Using lavender as the essential oil will also help you relax, it is also good during this time of the year against ticks, mosquitoes and fleas.

These are just a few of the self caring changes you can make to improve your health and your life as well as that of your family. I will give you some more suggestions in my next blog. Wishing you a magnificent day.

Dr Bidot is a medical surgeon who is now practicing Energy Medicine to help people in a more natural manner.  She is opening a location in Gloucester very soon.  That location will be at 3682 B George Washington Memorial Highway, (Route 17 South),  Hayes, Virginia.  Next to the Tidewater Motel.

Governor McAuliffe Launches Statewide Virtual Datathon Challenge

~ Teams from across Virginia will create new and innovative applications ~

(Or, How to get people to work for free)

RICHMOND – Governor Terry McAuliffe today launched the 2015 Virtual Datathon Challenge, a competition that will bring together teams of innovators from across the Commonwealth to create new applications that improve government. 

“We can’t have an innovative new Virginia economy without an innovative government,” said Governor McAuliffe. “That’s why last year my administration launched Virginia’s first ever open data portal, and why last September we brought together state agencies to build brand new apps from scratch. This year, I’m challenging innovators across Virginia to use our state data in creative ways that will encourage collaboration and transparency within our government, enhance the services we provide our citizens, and build on our state’s reputation for innovative, efficient and customer-oriented government.”

Virginia Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson continued, “This Virtual Challenge will give all Virginians the opportunity to use data and technology to improve their government and how it serves their communities.  Apps are changing lives; we are seeing a movement where longstanding challenges are being solved by technology solutions developed by a growing population of civic coders. We want Virginia to lead the way.”

The Virtual Challenge winner will advance to the final round of competition at the statewide competition where they will compete for the Governor’s Cup.

For more information and competition registration, please visit data.virginia.gov.  To join the big data conversation, follow @DataVirginia and #TechInVA.

Gloucester, Virginia History: Extremely Old Tombstone Headings

Ware Episcopal Church, Gloucester, Virginia

Tombstones of gloucester, virginia 1 from Chuck Thompson

Gloucester, Virginia is one of the oldest areas in the nation when it comes to early English settlements.  Its as old as Jamestown, Virginia as it was once a part of Jamestown back on 1607.  Later it was a part of Yorktown, but records show Yorktown being even younger than Gloucester which is just the way things get recorded.  For that matter, everything from North Carolina to Massachusetts was all a part of Virginia.  For the record, the American Indians or what is commonly know as native Americans which turns out are Chinese immigrants, were here before English settlers and so was Spain.  But its the English who were successful at settling the area.  (Politically correct history reporting is a pain in the ...).

  The main focus here is maintaining history.  Above is from the College of William and Mary that recorded the headings of old Gloucester tombstones.  Many which can no longer be read.  Some blame acid rain for not being able to read these headings, I blame nature.  Water is the worlds finest solvent.  It has nothing to do with so called acid rain.  (I refuse to argue politically correct areas when there is no real science behind it.)  There are many folks who like to wander through old grave yards and read the Tombstone headings and there are also family who can no longer read what the tombstones once said, so for these reasons, we have decided to reprint the information.

  Anyone is free to print out the above pages for historical research and or family posterity.  You may also download free copies of the above from our Slideshare site.  You have to be a member of Slideshare and if you are not already, then you can join for free.

Dr Lianis Bidot: More On Energy Medicine

You might ask what is energy medicine and what it does. Our bodies, everything that surrounds us, the world and the universe are made of energy. Sometimes the channels through which this energy travels gets blocked or misaligned giving different symptoms in each person. Energy Medicine is one of many ways used to remove these blocks and or try to balance or align these energies.

In a routine new visit I will look at your history and discuss the most pressing problems. On that day just a simple energy treatment will be performed to let your body get used to the modality. You might notice some improvement immediately or it might take a few days. Treatments can be given weekly depending on the response of your body and how you are feeling. There are 15-20 different treatments depending on the symptoms and complaints of the client and which one is more pressing.

During a session the client might fall asleep or get very relaxed. Many can feel heat being transferred from my hands to their body and sometimes can also feel a pulsation. For the majority of the clients it is very relaxing and painless. The session itself might last 15-30 minutes.

Energy medicine can be used on people of all ages and can also be used on animals. It is not a replacement for medical care but can improve or expedite health improvement or cure. It does not require taking medications or being cut on. Just try it to see what it can do for you.

Doctor Bidot will soon be opening a church, Healing Hands Ministry, at 3682 B George Washington Memorial Highway, Hayes Virginia.  Next to the Tidewater Motel in the same building as AAA Small Engine Repair.  She will be available to assist people Monday through Friday from 10 until 6 and Saturday from 10 until 2.

Americans Very Quickly Losing Their Freedoms, An Oration at Gloucester Might Help Restore Them

Oration at Gloucester, July 4th, 1827 from Chuck Thompson

Today the mass media is doing a bang up job propagandizing everyone into the philosophies of the left or should we say the collective mentality.  Where you no longer have freedoms.  Wait, most of you know the word freedom but have no real clue what that means.  Its more than free to drink a beer if you want or free from being in jail.  Its about what you are free to do without having to pay someone else for the privilege that may grant you a license to do what you want.

  Owning a business is not a privilege.  It is a right.  Zoning is not a privilege you have to meet requirements for.  Zoning is for County owned or state owned or Federal owned properties only.  They do not apply to you.  But you think they do so you allow yourself to be fooled into paying fees and hoping to get approval for what you already have the right to do.

In a recent discussion with a friend, he explained to me that Gloucester officials would not let him do what he wanted to with his land because officials told him that whatever the state does not give permission for, it's simply not allowed.  Can anyone read the 10th amendment to the bill of rights above and show me how anyone could come up with such an insane statement?  What is not granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution is reserved for the states, or the people.  That means if the Commonwealth does not allow it, then its already a right of the people.  Permission does not need to be sought.

  But even that is going way overboard.  I really do not care what the state allows or does not allow.  As long as its lawful within the confines of the Common Law, then that is all that matters.

The eBook above was an oration given to Gloucester by Thomas Stephenson back on July 4th, 1827.  Mr Stephenson explained to the people of Gloucester what their rights are as people of this country.  Most people would be hard pressed to understand it these days thanks to all the years of brainwashing by the mass media.  Although you may understand the words, you won't understand the meaning or how it applies to you.  Now that is very sad and why American freedoms are being taken away at lightening speed.  You are giving them up without even a fight.

When Public Officials Use Private Emails

Gloucester, Virginia Officials Using Personal email Addresses from Chuck Thompson

Its been all over the news about Hilary Clinton and her use of private email addresses to conduct public business.  We have had it here as well about how local officials use private email addresses for public business and the types of problems that this can cause.

  So what we are going to show you is exactly how much of a problem it really is as we got our hands on a number of private email addresses from Public officials and how they use them for so called conducting public business.  You may want to read through these but please be advised, public officials won't like it.  There is some very embarrassing content in here.  But you go through it and decide for yourself.

Mark Warner On "On Demand" Work Force

Friends,

I wanted to let you know about a significant issue I’ve started to focus on: the big shifts occurring in the workplace and among the workforce as more and more people work “on-demand” in what’s called the "sharing economy".

Whether by economic necessity or by choice, as many as one-third of American workers now piece together several on-demand opportunities to make a living. And with continuous advances in technology, that number continues to grow, especially as the Millennial generation enters the workforce.

Today, online platforms such as Airbnb, Uber, TaskRabbit and Etsy can provide easy-to-use digital platforms to match supply and demand for goods and services. These innovations are changing the traditional employee-employer dynamic.

The sharing or on-demand economy, where people are contract or freelance workers, provides exciting opportunities in terms of freedom and flexibility in hours and work-life balance. But many of these on-demand jobs do not provide traditional safety net protections for workers: unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation for injuries, or pension and retirement planning.

Yet Washington has mostly remained on the sidelines as the U.S. economy, its workforce and the work place, have undergone perhaps the most dramatic transformation in decades. As policymakers, we have a role to play with this tremendous shift.

Earlier this month, I delivered a speech about the potential impacts of generational and technological changes on the American economy. My recent op-ed in the Washington Postexplored some ways that policymakers might begin to address these challenges.

Finally, as I work to find solutions to make this sharing or on-demand economy work better for more people, I’d like to hear from you. If you are working in this on-demand economy, tell us your story: Is it working for you? Could it work better? What are the advantages of this type of work? Do you see any downsides?

Please email your thoughts to: projects@warner.senate.gov.

Thank you,


Mark R. Warner
