Why Kindness is
Good for You
Did you know that when you are kind to someone it
actually benefits your health?
Many recent studies have confirmed that kindness makes
us happier and is an antidote to
depression.
In testing the happiness
inducing effects, scientists at
the University of California
recently asked a large number of
volunteers to conduct five acts of
kindness on one particular day
of the week. Amazingly, after ten
weeks of this they were much
happier that those who hadn’t
shown the kindnesses.
You’ve probably noticed that
being kind makes you feel good.
There’s even a scientific term for
it – helper’s high. It’s the good
feeling we get through doing
something good. Its basis is in
the production of morphine-like
opiates in the frontal cortex of
the brain.
But the effects go far beyond
the brain. Kindness, especially
when it involves contact with the
person you’re helping, produces
chemicals in the brain that
benefit the body. One of these is
a hormone known as oxytocin.
You might recognize the name. It’s given to some women
to induce labour and also causes lactation. But very recent
research has shown that it has many other beneficial roles
in the body.
For instance, it very quickly sticks to little binding sites
on the cells that line our arteries and veins, stimulating the
release of nitric oxide, which then dilates our arteries. The
result is that blood can flow more easily and blood pressure
drops. So kindness is good for the cardiovascular system.
It also protects against cardiovascular disease. In
particular, hardening of the arteries, a condition known
as atherosclerosis, occurs because of excess free radicals in
the bloodstream, which are usually a product of mental and
emotional stress or poor lifestyle choices. In studying how
this happens, scientists subjected some of the cells that line
our blood vessels to stress and noticed that loads of free
Dr David R. Hamilton is a scientist and author of ‘It’s The
Thought That Counts’ and ‘How Your Mind Can Heal
Your Body’ (both published by Hay House). He gives talks and
runs workshops in the UK and around the world.
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. - The Dalai Lama
By David R. Hamilton PhD
radicals were quickly produced in the cells, setting off a
chain reaction that would eventually result in hardening.
Next they did the same again, but this time added a few
drops of oxytocin. The result was that there were 48% less
free radicals. The research
team concluded that oxytocin
protects against this form of
cardiovascular disease.
What this means is that
each time we show kindness
in our lives, we are actually
benefit the heart.
Isn’t it amazing that when
we do something from the
heart – an act of kindness
– that we actually benefit
for the heart, at the cellular
level.
Compassion also produces
oxytocin. But it protects our
health in another way too.
One of the major factors that
speeds up aging and which is
also at primary cause of many
diseases is inflammation. It is
similar to the inflammation
that occurs when you cut
yourself, except that it is
internal. If there’s too much
internal inflammation which,
like free radical production
can be a product of mental and emotional stress over a
long period of time, and also eating too much, smoking or
drinking too much, then the resulting inflammation can
lead to faster aging and many diseases, including many
forms of cancer, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s.
The key to reducing inflammation is the vagus nerve,
which runs from the top of the brainstem and wanders
throughout all the organs in the body. Known as the
Inflammatory Reflex, the vagus nerve stops inflammation
in its tracks. Or at least it does so to the extent that the
nerve is fit and healthy.
Very recent studies now show that we can stimulate the
vagus nerve through compassion and increase its fitness,
or tone as it is referred to.
When we share another’s pain and compassionately wish
them free of their suffering, we stimulate the vagus nerve

and this turns up the Inflammatory Reflex, effectively
reducing inflammation throughout the body. It possibly
explains the anecdotal evidence that many people who live
way over a hundred years say that the key to their longevity
is compassion.
Kindness and compassion are of critical importance in
rearing children. Many studies now show that the growth
of an infant’s brain is largely impacted by its emotional
environment. The orbitofrontal cortex, which sits just
behind the orbits of the eyes, grows almost entirely after
birth. Studies show that if an infant is raised in a warm,
loving environment then the orbitofrontal cortex develops
fully. If, on the other hand, the infant is deprived of love or
human contact, the orbitofrontal cortex is underdeveloped.
The result is that the child often grows up to have
behavioural difficulties, difficulties fitting in and, has
increased risk of depression and other mental illnesses and,
in many cases, violent tendencies. The seeds of our future
society are actually sown in the infant brain in the first 2
years of life.
A few years ago, UNICEF reported that there were almost
100 million children around the world without available
caregivers, many of them in institutions. This is 100 million
too many in my opinion. In Europe, 1.5 million live in
orphanages, psychiatric units and group homes. I visited
some in Kosovo back in 2001 and was struck by the lack of
loving contact the children receive.
David speaking at the last Tree of Life Festival
The Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), which
has compared the growth and development of children taken
out of institutions and placed into foster care with children
left in the institutions has shown that there is hope.
The project has clearly shown that if infants are fostered
or adopted, particularly before the age of 2, then there is
often a rapid increase in brain development and physical
growth (institutionalized children are often much smaller
than average). One of the published studies was even
titled, ‘Evidence of Massive Catch Up After International
Adoption’.
When we show love, kindness, and compassion to young
children, we really help them to grow. We know that our
words and actions help them to develop a sense of right
and wrong, but we must now also consider that the love,
kindness, and compassion that we show them also helps
them to grow. It has been said that love is food for the soul.
It is also nourishment for the brain. Without it, the brain
just does not grow nor wire as well as it could.
The reason that love, kindness and compassion are so
good for us is that we are actually genetically wired to be
kind.
Through the process of evolution by natural selection,
genes that promoted kindness and compassion united
individuals into relationships and groups. Over evolutionary
timescales, groups fared much better than individuals and
thus the genes of those in the groups were gradually passed
through the genetic line to us today. And as further proof
that we are wired for kindness, recent genetics studies have
now discovered specific genes that vary slightly from one
person to the next and correspond exactly to differences in
generosity between those individuals.
The fact that we are wired to be
kind is why kindness is so good for
our health. It is also why, when we
go against our nature and don’t
show kindness it actually stresses
our nervous systems.
So not only must we think of
diet and exercise when we talk
of being healthy, but we must
now add kindness to the health
and longevity equation. Of
course, we are kind for the
sake of being kind. We don’t
help someone so that we
become healthy. We’re kind
because it’s the right thing
to do. It just so happens
that it’s good for us.

about this in my new book,
‘Why Kindness is Good for You’ (Hay House UK, Feb
2010).

Love in Conscious
Creation
or how to
manifest a beagle
Once the excitement or the crisis is
past, it often feels as though the work
becomes a chore so we stop doing
it. That’s our ego training. We are
trained to think that it should be hard
so we make it hard; we resist it and
we fight back. If we want the Work to
work, it all comes back, every time to
love and if we don’t love ourselves we
won’t do the work.
It can help to put love in to the work
and we do that best by engaging our
emotions in the way that a lover
would.
If you want to visualize a better life,
there are two secrets to making it
‘real’ to your inner self. The first is to
focus on the desired result as though
you had it right now and you loved it
and the second is to use all five senses
in that love.
I learnt this the easy way - by
mistake!
When my old beagle Didcot died, I
missed her very much and mourned
as only a dog-loving softie can. I
needed to grieve before considering
getting another dog - and at the time
I thought that I couldn’t afford to get
another beagle as they cost £800. I’m
a beagle fanatic so any other kind
of dog was not appealing. Anyway,
I was working three days a week at
the BBC so it wouldn’t be fair to have
a puppy even though my husband
worked from home.
I did register on a beagle breeder’s
site saying that I’d be interested in
a puppy in about a year’s time as an
affirmation that I would be able to
afford one then.
In the meantime, as a part of my
morning meditation I would imagine
myself holding Didcot on my lap,
stroking her and remembering just
how her fur felt and how it lay on
her body, inhaling her scent, seeing
how lovely she was in her prime at
about seven, feeling the weight of
her, the way she would lean on me
for a cuddle, hearing her making her
comfortable doggy-purring noises
and enjoying a whole beagle fantasy
experience.
I did this for about two weeks
and found great comfort in it. Yes,
sometimes I would cry too but it was
better to get that bit of emotion out
rather than suppressing it. Then, one
morning as I was actually doing my
beagle meditation the telephone rang.
I let it be but the lady calling started
leaving a message on the answer
phone about beagles so I picked up
and it was the breeder that I had
registered with. She said she had
a prospective owner for one of her
puppies drop out at the last minute
and, although I’d said I didn’t want a
beagle right now, she’d wondered if I
would change my mind.
It was tempting but unrealistic
so I told her so. Then she said,
“Would you consider an older dog?”
by Maggy Whitehouse
How often have you been fired up by a talk or a workshop but found the effect wore off
very quickly? How long have you meant to meditate but not got round to it? Have you
ever discovered that affirmations, visualizations and other tools for manifestation worked when
you were in a crisis and then stopped?
How much
is she?”
I asked cautiously
6 It is love that makes the impossible possible. - Indian Proverb
When I asked her what she meant
she said that she had a seven-year-old
bitch who had been a show dog and
then a breeding bitch.
“I always try to retire them to loving
homes so that they can be cosseted
and have a wonderful old age,” she
said. “Would you be interested?”
“How much is she?” I asked
cautiously.
“Oh, free of course!” said the lady.
“I’d never charge to get one of my
girls a good home.”
So, Puzzle came to us two weeks
later, a dear, sweet, loving girl of
seven years old. She came because I
was focusing on loving a beagle of
that age … so the Universe had to
give me one.
Puzzle died last autumn and again
I needed time to grieve. Lion and I
also thought it would be best to wait
before getting another beagle as I’m
doing a lot of travelling and, to be
honest, Puzzle was always my dog.
She was okay with Lion but not much
of a companion and she’d sulk in my
office if I went away. We also decided
that didn’t want another hound as old
as seven as we only had six years with
Puzzle - but we weren’t sure whether
we wanted a puppy or not.
“I’d just like a dog that loved me,”
said Lion.
But because I missed Puzzle so much
I did a similar meditation about her
and expanded it into spending time
with her in the afterlife. I suppose
should have known better!
So - yes, you’re ahead of me -
the phone rang two months after
Puzzle died. It was the Master of the
Warwickshire Beagles. They had

a little bitch who wouldn’t hunt and they needed to
re-home her. This was totally out of the blue. We had
spoken to a huntsman from the pack when they were
displaying at a country show three years ago and we’d
said we’d be willing to go on a list for potential owners
for re-homed hounds.
So Destiny Beagle moved in. And she and Lion were
joined at the hip within 24 hours. She sleeps in his
A bit of me is going

doggy person’ but actually
it’s perfect.
office in the day (Puzzle slept in mine) and he walks
her (I walked Puzzle) and she follows him everywhere
(Puzzle - oh, you’ve got the idea).
A bit of me is going ‘hang on a minute, I’m the doggy
person’ but actually it’s perfect. I’m the one who’s
travelling; he’s the one who asked for a dog that loved
him. And she’s an absolute delight.
So, how to manifest a beagle: two minutes a day
totally immersed in the sight, sound, scent, and touch
of a beagle. The Universe will bask in your joy and
deliver.
How to manifest anything else: two minutes a day
totally immersed in the sight, sound, scent, feel and
taste of it, delighting in it so much that it’s actually
totally unimportant whether it comes in the future
because you are in love with the experience of it NOW.
So if you want a new home, love that home. It’s easy
to imagine looking at it in your mind but look at it with
a heart full of love. Then imagine yourself touching the
walls, inside and out and experiencing cooking in the
kitchen: smelling, tasting and washing up with love.
Imagine working in the garden, weeding, planting,
smelling the scents of all the seasons with love. Hear the
sound of your favourite music playing in your home;
the sound of a loved one coming in through the front
door; the sound of your bath or shower running. See
it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it, love it. The angels
surround us where there is love and once you are so
happy in your imaginary
home that you are there,
the angels will deliver.
They have to; it is law.

Going for
What You Love
I
received an email the other day from an old friend who has
known me for over twenty years, who said; “Daz, knowing
where you’ve come from and what you’ve created I’m so pleased
to have been associated with you. In fact I’m proud of you.” It was
very touching and made me feel quite nostalgic, but at the same
time I was thinking; “What’s the big deal. I’m just doing what I
love.” Then I less flippantly realized that choosing to create what
you love is no small thing. In fact I’m always saying to my clients,
my friends, my wife, even my three year old son, that the most
powerful question you can ask yourself is; “What do I love?”
8
On the surface you would be excused for thinking that it
will only elicit trivial responses, like; “I love chocolate icecream”
or “I love going to the movies” or “I love dancing.”
(all of which I love by the way), but the truth is, this simple
question can completely change the course of your life.
In January 2000, at the beginning of the new millennium,
I was flown by a very successful businessman from Sydney
to Byron Bay to sign a contract to run a change management
company that spanned the Asia Pacific region. I was
guaranteed a six figure income and many other benefits –
status being only one of them. This was my first visit to the
legendary Byron Bay so before doing business I thought
I’d get a guided tour from a friend of mine who lived there.
My friends name was William Whitecloud, who I’d spent the
previous two years training with to develop my intuitive
ability.
Over lunch I was gloating to William about this fantastic
opportunity I’d created and how amazing I was at creating
intuitively, but instead of impressing him he simply looked at
me and asked; “What do you love?” I knew he wasn’t asking
me what I’d prefer on my sandwiches. Having trained me
I would love to
transform
people’s lives
in my intuition I knew he was asking me a much deeper
question. After a brief moment of contemplation I responded
by saying; “I would love to transform people’s lives.” The
logical next question he asked was; “Will this change
management opportunity allow you to do that?” I said; “No,
but working with you will!” In that moment we both knew
at the core of our beings that it was true for us to work
together, even though he offered absolutely no guarantees
and no status or prestige.
In asking me; “What do you love?” William very cleverly
caused me to shift my focus from the glamour of the corporate
position to the end result of what my heart burned for. And
knowing that our combined intuition would reveal the most
powerful way of creating it, I wasn’t concerned at all about
how we were going to do it (OK, I did freak out just a little
bit.)
Amazingly, making that choice proved to be one of the
most significant moments in my life. I now know what it
means to be at a crossroads in life. Had I taken up the change
Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination. - Anonymous
by Darren Eden
management position I would have experienced all of what I
was promised initially, but then only a couple of months later
the managing director, who offer me the position, suddenly
died and the whole organization fell apart virtually
overnight. I would have been left high and dry, lamenting
over my sudden loss of money and prestige.
Whereas in partnering with William, together
we progressively created one of the most powerful
transformational modalities in the world. We’ve transformed
thousands of people’s lives in Australia and last year, in
continuing to ask myself that question, I’ve gone on to
fulfill a childhood dream of living in Europe, where I’m
continuing to transform people’s lives. All of this simply
from asking the question; “What do you love?”
Thank you my old friend for sending me that email and
reminding me how powerful it is to go for what you love.
So here we are at the beginning of 2010 and I can’t help
but ask you the question….”What do you love?”

Raw Food Living Magic
"Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food"
Hippocrates by Marketa Rozsypalova
Many people around the world, including
myself, have helped to heal themselves by
increasing the amount of raw foods they eat.
Scientific research is now also proving that
eating more raw foods can improve your health
and increase your energy.
So what are raw foods? Well, they are essentially fresh,
organic plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds,
sprouts and herbs. They’re prepared below the temperature
of 118 Degrees Fahrenheit (43 ºC). This means the foods
retain all their nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals,
proteins and fibre – thus keeping them as ‘living’ foods.
What are the benefits of eating more raw foods? You’ll
have greater physical vitality, mental clarity and radiant
energy. It can also help maintain a balanced body weight
and lower cholesterol. You’ll experience vibrant health, look
younger, more attractive and sexier!
Nature’s intelligence is simple and beautiful. The shape
of a food will often signify which part of the body it is good
for. Here are a few examples:
Brain – Walnut: it looks like a little brain and it helps
to develop neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Eyes – Carrot: a sliced carrot looks like the human eye
and it greatly enhances the function of the eyes.
Heart – Tomato: it is red and has four chambers just
like a heart. Tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood
food.
Body Cells – Onions: look like body cells and help
clear waste materials from all of the body cells.
Bones – Celery & Rhubarb: these look like bones
and increase bone strength. Bones are partly made of
sodium and these foods are high in it.
Ovaries – Olives: they look like ovaries and assist in
the health and function of them. They’re one of star
health foods because of the quality of the nutrients in
them and their great taste!
Womb & Cervix – Avocados & Pears: these look
just like the female organs and eating one avocado a
week helps to balance the hormones. It takes exactly
9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened
fruit. What a fascinating mirror of the term of a human
pregnancy.
There are also ‘superfoods’ that are particularly good for
you. Here are four of my favourite (you can find them in
your local health food shop):
Goji Berries ‘Elixir of Youth’: are extraordinarily
nutritious and full of antioxidants. They’re used in Chinese
Medicine to increase vitality and longevity.
Maca Powder ‘Nature’s Viagra!’: is a powerful
aphrodisiac, increases blood oxygen content and helps deal
with stress.
Cacao ‘The Food of the Gods’: also known as ‘raw
chocolate’, it’s full of great stuff for your body like iron,
magnesium, zinc, chromium, antioxidants and much
more. It’s good for your heart and brain.
Hempseeds ‘Superseed’: fantastic source of complete
protein, essential fatty acids and they boost the immune
system.
People often think that eating raw foods would be boring,
but it doesn’t have to be like that. I love sharing with
people how raw food meals can be very creative, varied and
delicious. Why not try my recipe for raw ‘Super Morning
Power Milk’ below.
Super Morning Power Milk!
600 ml pure water
2 tbsp hulled Hempseeds
1 tbsp Maca powder
3 tbsp Goji berries
1 tbsp Cacao powder
Make it sweet by adding agave nectar or raw honey.
Blend well together in the blender until smooth and
silky. Enjoy!

Meet Your Guardian Angel
By Jason Stansbie & Louise Pardoe
We live in an ocean of experiences, with our ship of life sailing us
to new lands each and every day. On this unique journey there
are often challenges, but your guardian angel is there for you
every step of the way.
An Angel’s Guiding Hand
Throughout your physical life your guardian angels enjoy a special bond with you and often try
to communicate. Have you ever been deep in thought, or waking from a deep sleep when you hear a voice calling out your
name but no-one is there? This is usually followed by a message or a deep sense of intuition that protects & guides you.
Developing a relationship with your guardian angel is a beautiful and life changing experience, helping you to
know that you are never alone. Angels communicate with you in subtle ways:
h Playing a song on the radio that delivers you a specific message
h Shapes in the clouds or rainbows
h Sparkles of golden, silvery light that you might see in your periphery vision
h Moments of synchronicity or co-incidence
h Through beautiful dreams
Guardian Angel Drawing 25%off for all Tree of Life Readers!
If you would like to find out who your own guardian angel is and what your angel looks like, Jason
is a gifted Psychic Medium and Visionary Artist who has been working with the angelic realm since
childhood. During an appointment, he will gently connect with your guardian angel, draw what he
sees and pass on supportive messages. There is a fantastic 25% off all guardian angel drawings if
you book before 28th February; to claim this great offer, simply mention Tree of Life when booking.
Visit www.discoverserenity.co.uk or call Jason on 07982 028765 for a no obligation chat to find out more.

Holistic Holidays
City Retreat
Just a mile from Birmingham City Centre,
set back behind a screen of old oak trees is
Sydney House. This lovely old Georgian
House offers a calming environment in which
to be relieved of illness and begin the recovery
process.
A unique kind of healing is administered here, based on the
principles of the famous 12th Century Abbess, Hildegard Von Bingen
who was an herbalist and visionary. Hildegard saw that everything is inseparably
connected in the cosmic web of the universe, and combined herbs,
astrology and psychotherapy in her healings. She was one of the
first to understand the relationship between mind, body and soul,
and integrate natural and spiritual healing forces.
Hundreds of years ago, Hildegard saw this time of change,
where the energies and vibrations of our earth are altering to a
new frequency, and that we would need more than ever natural
and spiritual remedies to heal the earth and ourselves.
Glenda Houston is a descendant of Hildegard Von Bingen, and
the recipient of ancient healing skills which have been bestowed upon her by Hildegard.
Glenda, with the help of her ancestral spirit guide Sarah,
uses these skills to transform sickness into health, weakness
into strength, and to bring a clear understanding of the
original cause of the illness, to prevent any recurrence.
The use of spiritual essence of herbs, clairsentience and
energy field healing are all part of the therapy used by
Glenda to bring the mind,
body and spirit back into
complete harmony.
Consultations are hourly,
and Glenda and her guides continue to work with you until
complete healing is achieved.
For a relaxing, peaceful rest, a Retreat Week including full
board can be arranged in en-suite accommodation.
To book a consultation, call Glenda at
Sydney House on 0121 440 4810 or 07960 118108.
