Episode Description

In addition to hand washing and disinfectants, people are looking for more innovative ways to help protect themselves against the coronavirus.

It’s no secret that food can be used to support our immune system and enhance our mental health. Decades of research has confirmed that certain nutrients in food have powerfully medicinal benefits. However, food choices are just one piece of the puzzle. Getting good quality sleep, managing stress, being active and of course washing your hands all play a pivotal role in impacting our immune function and mental health.

Common Reader, The by Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) LibriVox A collection of essays by Virginia Woolf, some of which originally appeared in the Times Literary Supplement or the Dial, and others were originally published for the first time in this volume. "Anything that Virginia Woolf may have to say about letters is of more than ordinary interest, for her peculiar intelligence and informed attitude set her somewhat apart. She possesses the happy faculty simultaneously of enjoying and accepting the work of Daniel De Foe and James Joyce, of Joseph Addison and T.S. Eliot, of Jane Austen and Marcel Proust. Many of these essays are excellent examples of that type of writing which reveals the reactions, nuances, twisting and adventuring threads of thought and surmise which spring from the perusal and spiritual acquisition of other work."Excerpts from the New York Times Book Review of The Common Reader, May 31, 1925 Trance From The Altitude Trance From The Altitude Trance From The Altitude is a podcast radio show that consists of a one hour Trance music dj session. It is performed weekly. The radio show aims to promote the love and passion for Trance music. In other words, Trance From The Altitude exists for the love of music, in particular Trance music. The Genealogy of Morals Friedrich Nietzsche In 1887, with the view of amplifying and completing certain new doctrines which he had merely sketched in Beyond Good and Evil (see especially Aphorism 260), Nietzsche published The Genealogy of Morals. This work is perhaps the least aphoristic, in form, of all Nietzsche's productions. For analytical power, more especially in those parts where Nietzsche examines the ascetic ideal, The Genealogy of Morals is unequalled by any other of his works; and, in the light which it throws upon the attitude of the ecclesiast to the man of resentment and misfortune, it is one of the most valuable contributions to sacerdotal psychology. (summary by the editor of the Samuel translation) Victorious Attitude by Orison Swett Marden Loyal Books Dr. Marden tells how we can live up to our potential just by changing our attitude, from the normal attitude of I CAN'T to one of I CAN! To do this we need to have faith in ourselves and shut out the negative forces that come into our lives. We have to stop the negative thoughts and not listen to the nay sayers. Once we find what we want to do we can't think it to death, just take the chance and don't procrastinate, don't let doubt interfer. It's difficult to do in the beginning but will soon become a habit and will make our lives so much easier and fulfilling.
