"Next, move your attention from the story of why you 're sad, or why you 're feeling E-motional, to the energy of sadness itself. Step I: Recall a story or memory about when you felt sadness. Step II: Allow the sadness to manifest. Step III: Notice where in your body the sadness is occurring. Step IV: Take your attention off the story as to why you feel sadness. Step V: Put your attention and focus on the sadness itself, de-labeling it and seeing it as energy. If any thoughts, impressions, or the story comes up—see it as energy." - Stephen Wolinsky and Kristi L. Kennen, Quantum Consciousness: The Guide to Experiencing Quantum Psychology (Get the book.)

"Patients with sad show a different pattern of conception. The usual peak period for conception is in December but patients with sad have a peak period for conception in late summer. Dr. Douglass feels that the sad syndrome is probably related to ultraviolet lack and could be helped by photo-oxidation. If you know a person with sad have them contact International Bio-oxidation Medicine Foundation(IBOM) at 405-5575127. Encourage them to throw away their sunglasses and get full spectrum lighting at home and work. These lights can be ordered by writing Health Lighting Inc., P.O." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"While you are watching the movie and feeling sad, your DNA takes on the pattern of the sadness, but the new pattern only remains in place while you are feeling the sadness from the movie. If, as a result of your continued attention on this movie, you keep feeling sad or you alter your life, this will affect your DNA on a more permanent basis." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"We can be happy or we can be sad, we can be hot or we can be cold, and we can be in good health or poor health. In all these situations there is an element of choice: we can influence whether we are happy or sad, by being deliberately optimistic or pessimistic,- we can take off clothes if we are hot, or put them on if we are cold. The same is true of health: we can influence our health by what we do and our mental attitude. Unhappy or stressed people are frequently in poor health. Asthmatics also have to consider how they breathe. They have choices." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"That "trouble," researchers now know, often takes the form of sad, a condition with recognizable symptoms. sad affects mostly women (86%), often beginning in their twenties, and, seasonally, in October, but with "anticipatory anxiety" as early as July. Most sad sufferers experience carbohydrate craving, sleep about 17% longer, gain weight (10 to 15 pounds), lose interest in sex, feel irritable, sad, withdrawn, and fatigued; they can't concentrate and perform poorly at work—and for at least 60% SAD-inflicted people, it seems to grow worse with age." - Richard Leviton, Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom (Get the book.)

"Conversely, when you are sad or depressed, you have a difficult time dragging yourself out of bed in the morning; you feel tired and lack motivation to get going and tackle the tasks that must be done. Our thoughts create our emotions and our attitudes influence our thoughts; they are all connected. Being aware of all three is a key part of conscious health. The emotional reaction we have to any experience is directly related to our thoughts about it. Are they happy, hopeful, loving, sad, hateful, fearful, or angry? It is our perception of events that determines what we feel." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The usual peak period for conception is in December but patients with sad have a peak period for conception in late summer.

"For many people, sad is a seriously disabling illness, and is often misdiagnosed as hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, infectious mononucleosis, and other viral infections. For others, it is subsyndromal (a mild but debilitating condition), often referred to as the "Winter Blues". According to the Seasonal Affective Disorder Association (SADA) in England, this disorder is "caused by a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus due to the shortening of daylight hours and the lack of sunlight in winter," (http://www.sada.orq.uk/index.htm)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"A frown is the definition of a sad sight. You'll frequently see it when someone is sad, confused, or doesn't approve of you and/or your actions. (See "Sadness" on page 45 for more information on the frown.) What to watch for: When a friend frowns a lot. She could be going through a temporary rough patch, or she might be a negative person. Or she might just really trust you: one Japanese study found that women were more likely to frown while watching a troubling movie with a friend than a stranger." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"But sometimes sad persists. If suppressed D levels of wintertime were what led to your fatigue, the symptoms start piling up when the tiredness doesn't go away. Your mood sags, your sleep quality suffers, and the progression steadily worsens. Your behavior doesn't go unscathed, either. When you lose sleep and feel grouchy, you're not going to deliver stellar performances on a personal or a professional level. At the same time, you're probably asking an obvious question: How do you know if you're just a little bit blue or grumpy or if you're really experiencing full-blown sad?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Alaska also manifests a 10% incidence of winter sad. Patients with sad show a different pattern of conception. The usual peak period for conception is in December but patients with sad have a peak period for conception in late summer. Dr. Douglass feels that the sad syndrome is probably related to ultraviolet lack and could be helped by photo-oxidation. If you know a person with sad have them contact International Bio-oxidation Medicine Foundation(IBOM) at 405-5575127. Encourage them to throw away their sunglasses and get full spectrum lighting at home and work." - James A. Howenstine, MD, A Physician's Guide To Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"We needed to use a scale of 0-1000 to give a true picture of the amazing nutrient density of vegetables compared to the foods that typically make up the Standard American Diet (SAD). Most sad foods score less than 25. MANDI stands for Menu Aggregate Nutrient Density Index and is much like the ANDI system, except if focuses on serving sizes instead of calories. The MANDI point system uses ANDI nutrient scores to assign point values to specific serving sizes of individual foods and recipes, allowing you to rate your daily menus." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Accordingly, all the feelings of anger we have in life go into one file, sad events are placed into another, and rejections are deposited in yet a different file. These impressions are not recorded and stored according to linear time, but are compiled in terms of similarity. They feed "the ghost of memory" and give it more and more energy. Once a file is "filled up," even a small event can trigger a devastating eruption and awaken the ghost of memory, thereby giving it a life of its own. This had happened in Jeromy's life." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Dermatologist Turns That Frown Upside Down Research has shown that just by drawing your forehead into a sad expression, you can start to feel sad. With that mechanism in mind, one dermatologist wondered if interrupting that muscle-emotion connection could improve mood. His preliminary study found that injecting Botox into the corrugator supercilli, the muscle that forms the line down the middle of the forehead, of patients with major depression relieved signs of major depression in nine out of ten women treated, for up to two months after treatment." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"All of this may explain why cancer patients who do not receive any treatment at all, have an up to four times higher remission rate than those who receive treatment. The sad thing is that chemotherapy does not cure 96% to 98% of all cancers anyway. Conclusive evidence (for the majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival or quality of life does not exist. To promote chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer is misleading, to say the least." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"There are some events that will always be lemons: sad, fear-inducing, or maddening. With Recasting we learn to deal with them as a natural part of life, extract their value, and then, when we are able, return to a happy life. We don't allow them to pervade our entire existence or become our identity. The exact opposite of denial, Recasting accepts the reality of any trauma or illness and constructs a context around it, leaving us in a more emotionally capable, elevated, and powerful state of mind. Recasting has three phases: • Feel your feelings. • Find meaning. • Recognize opportunities." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"For example, if you are sad about something that happened to you, your body posture changes and your eyes lose their luster. Eye cells, like all other cells in the body, respond to your thoughts as a soldier follows the orders of his superior. The bottom line is this: If you believe strongly enough that you have cancer or if you are afraid of it, you face a significant risk of manifesting it in your body. The placebo effect can work both ways." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Dermatologist Turns That Frown Upside Down Research has shown that just by drawing your forehead into a sad expression, you can start to feel sad.

"While other fruit bins can look sad and dreary that time of year, the apple section comes alive with color and is filled to the brim. Numerous population studies have linked eating apples with a reduced risk of some cancers, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and diabetes. And in the laboratory, apples have exhibited very strong antioxidant activity to inhibit cell proliferation (the type of rapid multiplication that occurs in tumors), decrease lipid oxidation (when fats in the body combine with oxygen), and lower cholesterol. Here are some more apple research tidbits. Load up on phytochemicals." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Cancer's Emotional Causes Mary experienced a very sad childhood because her parents had great problems relating to one another. When I asked her, she could not remember even a single instance when there had not been tension between her parents. Being a very sensitive person at heart, she took everything more seriously than her more extroverted brother did, and consequently felt insecure, frightened, and depressed. With a painful smile on her face, she said that she had always felt torn between her mother and father and could not choose which one to favor." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"That one should feel the need to mount a defense of "the meal" is sad, but then I never would have thought "food" needed defending, either. Most readers will recall the benefits of eating meals without much prompting from me. It is at the dinner table that we socialize and civilize our children, teaching them manners and the art of conversation. At the dinner table parents can determine portion sizes, model eating and drinking behavior, and enforce social norms about greed and gluttony and waste." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Interestingly enough, sad is more common in people new to a northern region than in natives. Depressive symptoms last longer the farther north one lives. Delayed Sleep Phase Insomnia and Rebound Insomnia Night owl behavior may not be a problem, but it can lead to delayed sleep phase insomnia, which can be difficult to treat. People with this type of insomnia find themselves staying up later and later; and when they do sleep during light/waking hours, the sleep is not refreshing." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Grandma was terribly sad. We really worried about her, but then she started to rally. I think she found what was bothering her so much. She told us, 'Kids aren't supposed to go first.' Somehow, understanding the natural order of things helped explain her feelings and helped her cope." What was the opportunity that Lou found to help come to terms with outliving her own son? It was when she decided to not cover up the loss and try to forget it, but to "fill the void." Most people in their nineties, faced with such a traumatic loss, could be expected to go into a full retreat from life." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The symptoms of sad are irritability, fatigue, low mood, weight gain, and carbohydrate cravings, and all of these symptoms tend to be worse in winter months. How Melatonin Is Made Melatonin is made from serotonin. Depression is often due to low serotonin levels. When serotonin levels are low, melatonin levels may also be low. This explains why sleep disturbance often accompanies depression, particularly during menopause, when estradiol is no longer able to fully support serotonin levels. Optimim melatonin production depends on many things." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"No one likes feeling angry, lonely, bored, or sad. But most emotional eaters have more than a simple dislike of these feelings, they have an allergic reaction to them. In fact, I believe that most emotional eaters have what I call a "feeling phobia." This phobia makes you avoid negative emotions at any cost because you're overly frightened of what your feelings mean and where they might lead you. For example, I've heard patients say that if they didn't eat they would cry for days." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "People report that they eat when they're sad, angry, bored, or lonely; it doesn't really matter what the feeling is, because having intense feelings is uncomfortable. When you're in a place where you're afraid of or uncomfortable with your feelings, you stuff food in to banish and control them. There is a spiritual and emotional emptiness that you've been trying to fill with food. Using food this way becomes problematic when it becomes the only source of comfort, the only way to cope with stress or feelings, the only reward you have to give yourself, the only place where you're loved." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "If I came home sad, my mother told me/Eat, it'll make you feel better.'I didn't have weight problems very early on in life but I was pushed to eat, eat. As a teenager, food became my friend. "One day when I was sixteen, I found out that my boyfriend had cheated on me with this bitchy girl, Linda. I remember crying on the couch and my mom making me a huge ice cream sundae and spoon-feeding it to me. And yes, if you can believe it, I still want ice cream now whenever I feel blue. When my divorce from Tad became final last month, I went right out to Cold Stone Creamery." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"I felt so sad, and I remember asking my father what had caused her stroke. He explained that the oil burner in my grandmother's house had started smoking and she became emotionally upset about it. Within a few minutes, she became confused. Then she collapsed to the floor. I recalled the incident later when I studied the psychological connection to physical disease. I realized that the intense arousal caused by the smoking oil burner had set the stage for my grandmother to die of an acute stroke." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "That means more weight. The sad consequence of cozying up to carbs and becoming increasingly sedentary is that Americans have gotten fatter—there has been a 32 percent weight increase in the last ten years, and nearly two-thirds of the population is now considered overweight. The realization of what carbs hath wrought has inspired a seemingly endless production of low-carb diet books and revitalized the life of the high-protein classic, the Atkins diet." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"He spoke to Paul in a sad monotone, as if he expected no reply, the way one might speak to a person in a coma. After that, there weren't many more videos. Summer came and went, as Lynne embarked on a pilgrimage to the medical world. But no doctor offered a diagnosis or proposed a treatment. None would even confirm Lynne's certainty that something dreadful was happening, and that her child should not be trying to eat Christmas tree decorations, or stick metal objects into electric outlets, or run away so often that they had to fence the yard and put locks on all the doors." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
