Recipes are Arriving ... Hummus anyone?

The Revolution contains many delicious recipes and readers are sending me more recipes. Michelle from Texas just sent me her favorite Hummus recipe and it is great!

Please continue to send your recipes to Recipes@aliveandhealthy.com. They must be healthy, vegetarian and yours -- we cannot post recipes from books, etc. Thank you.

Here is Michelle's contribution:

Hummus
15 oz can organic chick peas, drained and rinsed
3-4 TBSPs tahini (sesame butter)
2 cloves garlic, peeled & finely chopped
3-5 TBSPs olive oil, to taste
Juice of one lemon
Salt & pepper to taste

optional additions:
-1 finely chopped green onion
-1 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
-handful of chopped spinach

Blend above ingredients in a food processor, blender or in a bowl with a potato masher. Add enough oil to make the hummus spreadable but not dry. Hummus can be used for sandwiches or dip. Red peppers and apples taste great with hummus spread!

The Outline of the Revolution

Chapter Outline of
The Happiness Revolution – Creating Balance and Harmony in Your Life
By Blair Lewis
ISBN# 0-978-9566-0-5

The Happiness Revolution is honest, fun, heartwarming and helpful. Filled with true stories and powerful techniques to help you quickly learn how to become happier and healthier.

This book teaches you by example how to live a full and courageous life -- in a manner where you can constantly hear and follow the voice of your own conscience. Your mind will become your companion instead of your nemesis.

Here is the chapter outline for the book. In future Blog posts I will expand on each chapter with information not found in the book. You are going to like this! Here goes...

Chapter Outline (in the author’s own words)

Your mind and your body are about to become your greatest friends and allies. Chapter 1 reveals the importance of having a stable mind and sturdy senses. Conquer the world within you and you have conquered the entire world.

To know which path to take, you must first know who you are and what resources you have available. Determining and understanding your Ayurvedic constitution is the goal of Chapter 2.

Philosophy has never been so personal and practical as Chapter 3. Learn how to apply 10 principles to change your life and your relationships forever – in less than 20 minutes.

Menu planning for joy. Delicious recipes bring to life the fable of the goddess called Happiness. Learn what she eats and why. Your family will thank-you every time you enliven your menu with these new menus and spices in Chapter 4 and Appendix A.

Fitness fads and yoga bluffs (not buffs) die quickly in Chapter 5. Learn what you need to know to get trim, stay trim and use your body to support the happiness you are now building everyday.

Stress kills. Homeopathic remedies are potent and harmless. I want you to know the eleven most common natural remedies for stress. I spent over 20 years in holistic psychiatry, these solutions have no fluff. Use them. Share them. See Chapter 6.

Sleep, rest and relaxation. I devote two packed chapters to solving fatigue and insomnia. For the first time ever, I have published the science of power-napping. Can you afford 16 minutes to gain 6 hours of rest? Chapters 7 & 8 will change your life forever.

What if you had more time and space in your day? What would be different? What if you could create it and expand? The yogis have done it for years, why not you? Truth is stranger than science fiction. Chapter 9 will teach you how to create more space in your day.

Time management. You cannot afford to be late and you cannot risk letting clocks destroy your marriage and image. ‘Filling your day with happiness’ (Chapter 10) is for busy executives, parents and students who have to maintain a very tight schedule.

Staying at the top of your game!
Today’s marketplace is a market of ideas. How fresh are your insights? We all talk to ourselves and contemplation is the art of skillfully guiding that conversation. It is time to hone and refine your ability to listen to yourself. Your best ideas can create your finest moments if only you read Chapter 11.

Making your mind your companion and colleague…
An unhappy person can spend so much time dealing with their thoughts and impulses that they have no time for life, love and laughter. Meditation will allow you to observe first hand the nature of your mind and the nature of your self. You will learn how to acquire a joyful mind in Chapter 12.

Friends, family and fellowship. Life means relationships. Creating community is what you do … constantly. Chapter 13 will put a whole new spin on your social and family life. You can become the very change you wish to see in others.

Love and Longevity … what a great way to conclude this epistle! To hear the voice of your conscience is to hear the song of our planet. Learn how to fall in love with yourself, your habits, your body, your personality and all that surrounds you. The ultimate shortcuts to health and happiness are hidden in Chapter 14.

The book has further enhancements in the triple appendix and with online links. We believe that The Happiness Revolution is today’s handbook for personal self-transformation and for community sustainability.

Watch for future posts on these chapters.

By the way, my book is available immediately from Alive and Healthy and soon from Baker and Taylor nationwide.

Nations and Families are Seeking the Same Solution

The Happiness Revolution – Creating Balance and Harmony in Your Life
A New Book by Blair Lewis, PA

I wrote The Happiness Revolution with a single goal – to help people become happier and healthier. I limited my advice to that which is taught by the sages and personally tested in my life and with my patients. I avoided empty philosophies and New Age psychobabble. I relied upon my own teachers and mentors who brought solutions to myself, my family, and to the lives of thousands of others.

These are answers that you can personally verify. You will find easy step-by-step instructions. All you have to do is try it. You will probably like it, everyone else has, so why not you? And you can try it for free! The first three chapters of The Happiness Revolution will soon be available online at no cost.

The Happiness Revolution is revolutionary in its premise that true cures require you to take action and to take action now. No more waiting for someone else to fix you. You can learn how to help yourself without relying on a magical healer with special medicines or powers. There are so many powerful things that you can do right now.

Getting well is not difficult, it is just different. You can easily make your life different in many areas, especially with your diet – and, different can be delicious. I think it must be delicious, as well as easy and logical. It has to be. To help you see these strategies in action, I will tell you about people like yourself and how they struggled, doubted, struggled some more and eventually succeeded.

If books came with guarantees, The Happiness Revolution would definitely come with one. However with right action and right intention, you can promise yourself as much success as you wish to strive for.

The base trait of all happy people is their ability to hear and follow the guidance of their own conscience. They know there is value in living a life that makes it easy to access their own thoughts, feelings and opinions. A poor diet and poor sleep patterns are just two examples of things that can make so much noise in your mind and body that it blurs and buries the voice of your conscience. I will share with you delicious menus and sleep strategies so that you can always hear the real you.

I will help you take your own advice and succeed in following that advice. As you become happier, your life will feel much saner, benefiting all of us. For the voice of your conscience is the song of our planet. It is time for families and nations to sing a song of cooperation and completion. Unfinished business and unresolved issues can come to closure. Health and happiness at global and individual levels can emerge.

I believe that all nations and families are seeking this same solution. They want to embrace diversity, yet brace to maintain their individuality. They want to have everything now, yet desire to preserve the planet for their grandchildren. They want to feel better, but commonly settle for what feels good.

You will soon read that these seemingly oppositional goals and behaviors can be refined and remolded into workable, enjoyable solutions. Both self-transformation and global health begin at an individual level. That means it begins with you … and me … and them.

We will continue to emerge through all emergencies and challenges and find those self-evident truths that bring back joy and compassion. I freely offer you this book as my contribution to fellow sojourners seeking help for themselves, their loved ones and future generations.

In my offering, I fully acknowledge that my words are not new, but represent an ancient lineage of success. These authentic works are re-presented in a modern manner to match the needs of today.

All you need to do is start. And start now. Click on the link below and download the electronic edition of The Happiness Revolution for free right now. Read the first couple of chapters, see how it feels to you. Then order the book so that you can carry it around with you. Read it and re-read it. Or better yet, order the “6-Pack Solution.” Get six printed copies of The Happiness Revolution at a huge discount and share them with your loved ones and co-workers. Change the lives of six people and you will change your world.

May this little book help us all.

Sincerely,


Blair Lewis
Bethany, PA

Resolutions and Revolutions -- the Happy kind

New Year’s Resolutions – game on!

The game is afoot. All of us are trying to live better as we fulfill our unspoken promises drafted in the holiday spirit.

My friends tell me that this year is going to be different. That this is gonna be their year! I dare not say that I have heard it before, but between you and me, “I have heard it before.”

I am not being negative or doubtful of their efforts or mine, I only know that if your entire lifestyle and physiology is not supportive of your goals, then success will come much more slowly.

This year I hope my new book will help everyone succeed with their dreams and goals. For it is laden with the strategies and algorithms to help you become happier and healthier. Happy folks are much more successful at attaining their goals, thus I feel confident that it will help you succeed with your new goals. The electronic edition of my book still available free online for a little while longer.

AND, the folks at Homeland Security allowed my cargo ship to pass inspection and the printed edition of The Happiness Revolution will soon arrive at my door. That means it can soon arrive at your door. I hope to start shipping the book out on Thursday, January 11, 2007 or before.

I hope you all had a happy holiday and are putting your new resolutions into action.

Best Wishes,

Blair
