"The last to approach was Justinian himself, who broke down after placing an enormous necklace around his wife's neck. Twenty-one years earlier, the newly crowned emperor and empress left the old Theodosian church that had then occupied the site of the Hagia Sophia and led a jubilant crowd to the Hippodrome. The last procession Theodota would lead as empress walked slowly down the Mese, past the Forum of Constantine, to the Church of the Holy Apostles—Constantine's burial site, and the model for Venice's San Marco." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"It turned out that Green was wearing an ankh, an ancient Egyptian cross matching Price's drawing, around his neck, and the necklace must have been swinging wildly during the ride.'6 Although the results of Price and Swann had been impressive, the Agency wanted to convince itself that this was not simply the work of the highly gifted or, even worse, an elaborate conjuring trick. A couple of the CIA contract monitors asked if they could try their hand at it. This appealed to Hal, who'd wanted to see whether ordinary individuals could carry out remote viewing." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Start by putting a half cup of lentils (or mung beans, alfalfa seeds, or sunflower seeds) in a jar with a wide neck, then covering with purified water. Cut a piece of cheesecloth to fit generously over the jar's neck and secure it with a rubber band. Soak the beans or seeds for one hour, then pour out the water through the cheesecloth. Shake the jar gently to distribute the seeds as evenly as possible, and let the jar sit on its side in a shady place. Wet the seeds and pour out the water (remove the cheesecloth first, but put it back) three or four times a day." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Her breath was warm on my neck. It occurred to me that I was embracing a century of life, and there was something in that knowledge that inspired profound affection and respect. I asked her if we could return. "Of course you may," she said. "I'm not going anywhere." SOY AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE After the interview, we stopped at a village restaurant for a late lunch. The meals were served in bento boxes, the Japanese equivalent of an individually sized picnic basket. I sat next to Suzuki and began plying him with questions, beginning with why he took Kamada's blood samples." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Greg, who has crystal-blue eyes and an inclination toward bursts of enthusiasm, was craning his neck to take in the expansive gardens behind the house and motioning for me to do the same. "There are herbs galore!" he said in a loud, faux whisper. "I'll bet her longevity secret is growing right out there." We made our way inside the stone walls and onto the step-up deck in front. Rice paper screens served as a front door. Closed screens mean do not disturb; open screens are an invitation to the village to stop by for a visit. Kamada's screens were wide open." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Also, unlike some other forms of exercise, working out with the bands does not aggravate my chronic neck problems. People with pain issues can safely and comfortably work with resistance bands in a number of effective ways. Unlike exercise machines and dumbbells, bands don't rely on the force of gravity to provide resistance. It's the stretching of the band that creates the resistance: the further you stretch it, the greater the resistance. It's that simple!" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "In another study, this one conducted by researchers for the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System headquartered in Great neck, New York, 40 percent of men with unexplained infertility tested high for lead in both blood and semen—higher than what is acceptable even for someone who is exposed to lead at work. The percentage of infertility cases that have no clear, underlying reason currently stands at 10 percent." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "The simple act of walking pumps lymph nodes, which are concentrated in the neck, underarms, groin, and behind the knees. Again, this helps move toxins out of the body. As you build up to longer, more rigorous walks you'll begin to sweat more and unload toxins through your skin. Walking can be an excellent cardio workout, and you may even advance into the world of power walking if you are so moved. The type of cardio exercise or activity you do is not nearly as important as how you do it, how often you do it, and how long you do it." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Symptoms of free radical damage (necessitating dietary antioxidant therapies) can include but are not limited to headaches, frequent or chronic infections, palpitations, neck spasms, back pain, inability to relax, chronic allergies, diarrhea, nausea, heavy metal toxicity, and chronic yeast infections or candidiasis. Laboratory studies are demonstrating that ingesting higher levels of antioxidants can increase life expectancy." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Among her symptoms were muscle spasms and abnormal movements of the face, neck, shoulders, and extremities, as well as impaired speech and breathing.

"The flower essence of an orchid had helped her heal from a physical trauma that had occurred in her neck and shoulder, but only when she was able to identify and begin to work with the emotional component that was behind it. Eventually, a large transformational shift occurred on many levels for her. I have worked with flower essences for years but there was something about her story that intrigued me. I arrived home to springtime in Vermont and began preparing for my classes." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Using chiropractic, acupuncture and neck traction reflexology, along with massage and Epsom salt baths, my pain began to subside. The homework and lectures opened my insights into my feelings of guilt and dissatisfaction. My home today is uncluttered, peaceful, and stress-free. Best of all, my family follows the protocol. ANDREA I was trapped inside the typical American diet with its false sense of security. I weighed 300 pounds and was not diagnosed with illness. My back ached, veins in my legs hurt, I felt ill after ingesting most foods?" - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Tim again received radiation, though this time it left severe burns on his neck. The following year, a growth on the other side of his neck, moving over his trachea, was diagnosed as a fast-growing lymphoma that required emergency surgery "He was told that the lymphoma was widespread. An autologous bone marrow and stem cell transplant was done at this time, but it was not successful. There was also concern that the tumors would metastasize to his stomach. His doctors determined at this point that they could do nothing more for him." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Ignatz Schwartz sold replacement tubes for televisions and radios in his drugstore in Great neck, Long Island, and those that were beyond repair were handed over to the grandson to disassemble. In a corner of Gary's bedroom lay a mass of experimental debris—tubes, resistors, and the carcasses of radios heaped on the cosmetic display racks he had borrowed from his grandfather—the first signs of what would become a lifelong fascination with electronics. Gary knew that the way you twisted the rabbit-ear antenna on top of the television would determine the clarity of the picture." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Typically, patients understand the term angina to describe squeezing, pressure, or even burning discomfort in the chest, or pain that may travel from shoulder to shoulder or up into the neck, occasionally radiating into the back and left arm. But it's important to know that many people experience their angina as shortness of breath, as the body attempts to pull in more oxygen to compensate for the shortage. This symptom may be the only warning for someone with diabetes, because their nerve endings may be less sensitive to other signs." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"But despite the sound effects, these exercises can reduce the pain in your neck and between your shoulder blades. Material: Floor, carpeted Option 1: Hands and Feet Planted 1. Roll onto your stomach with your legs straight out, hands closed in fists; plant your knuckles down into the carpet at chest level. 2. Turn your head to the right and hold that position. 3. Push up until your elbows are fully extended. 4. Let yourself down slowly until your chest muscles are stretched tight. Then repeat this step for 1 minute. 5. Turn your head to the left and hold that position." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "This is especially true in arthritis involving the neck (these patients may have severe headaches and/or fever). MARK'S STORY Mark, forty-nine, came to see me seeking better control of gout symptoms. For the previous two years, he'd had intermittent swelling and pain in his toes and ankles that was becoming more frequent and intense. These episodes usually would last five days; ibuprofen helped the pain. Recently the attacks had been lasting longer and were more severe, leading to absences from work. He weighed 200 pounds, with a BMI of 30, and his blood pressure was 155/102." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Other health problems included fatigue, headaches, neck pain, mild anxiety, and depression. She had no swollen joints, but she was experiencing muscle and bone tenderness and very sensitive shins. Generally, she was in good health. Lab studies revealed a rheumatoid factor of 20 (normal is 10 or less). All other other studies were normal. Her initial MHAQ scores were 0.375-55-15-30-6 (function, pain, fatigue, health perception, sleep). Her vitamin D level was 22; her PTH and calcium levels were normal.

"For example, cold wet packs on the forehead, back of the neck and head will constrict the blood vessels so that less blood flows into the head. Soaking the feet in a hot footbath that contains peppermint and apple cider vinegar as well as water will bring the blood away from the head and into the feet, and also cool and cleanse the blood. When the headache is severe, try alternating hot and cold, using towels that are soaked and then wrung out and applied to the face and head. The last application should be cold." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In addition to his emotional issues, he suffered from degenerative disc disease that had created severe problems in his neck and shoulders. He was hunched over and in a lot of pain, which made him extremely irritable. His job was on the line because of his anger, and his firm's human resource specialist had directed him to me for therapy. This person was not so unlike many people who have legitimate gripes in life. His father drank excessively when he was growing up. His mother put a lot of pressure on him to be the man of the household and be a dad to his little brother." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"She assumes] the person fills the bag with healing items or protective materials and sleeps with it around his/her neck."

She begins to tease a cat and suddenly realizes, "[I have on] white furry gloves, like the cat. I've lost the teddy bear. At that point, I wake up." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"The frontal sinews of his head were dragged to the back of his neck, where they showed in lumps bigger than the head of a man-child aged one month. "One eye became engulfed in his head so far that 'tis a question whether a wild heron could have got at it where it lay against his occiput, to drag it out upon the surface of his cheek; the other eye on the contrary protruded suddenly, and of itself so rested upon the cheek. His mouth was twisted awry till it met his ears . . . flakes of fire streamed from it." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "Themistocles dreamed that a snake wound itself around his body, then crept up to his neck and when it touched his face became an eagle that took him in its talons and, carrying him upward, bore him a long distance, and set him down on a golden herald's staff that suddenly appeared, so safely that he was all at once relieved of his great anxiety and fear.12 The specific psychological difficulties of the dreamer frequently are revealed with touching simplicity and force: "I had to climb a mountain. There were all kinds of obstacles in the way." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "But he ran the more swiftly, borne on the wings of love, gave her no time to rest, hung over her fleeing shoulders and breathed on the hair that streamed over her neck. Now was her strength all gone, and, pale with fear and utterly overcome by the toil of her swift flight, seeing the waters of her father's river near, she cried: 'O father, help! If your waters hold divinity, change and destroy this beauty by which I pleased o'er well.' Scarce had she thus prayed when a down-dragging numbness seized her limbs, and her soft sides were begirt with thin bark." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "The king sat astride the bearer's neck with a leg over each shoulder and his feet tucked under the bearer's arms. When one of these royal carriers grew tired, he shot the king onto the shoulders of a second man without allowing the royal feet to touch the ground.23 Sir James George Frazer explains in the following graphic way the fact that over the whole earth the divine personage may not touch the ground with his foot. " - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"While your eyes are fixed loosely on your subject, focus your mind on the periphery of the body—at first the upper half of the body, parts of the arms, the shoulders, the neck, around the head, then outward in the air immediately surrounding the upper body Now start the download. In it, you'll hear me do a ten-to-one countdown like the one we used in the hypnosis exercises. You'll follow the lulling tone of my voice and drift even further into a passive-receptive laid-back attitude while continuing to look at your subject and the air around the body in a diffuse, unfocused way." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"He had also personally mined his databases to find the names of 30 people over 90 years old and had their profiles and photographs loaded in the PDA he wore around his neck. He and Michel had mapped out a plan: We'd travel to Nicoya, interview a random sample of at least 20 people over 90 years old to verify their ages, and get a feeling for their lifestyle. Then we'd return to San Jose and further verify their ages in the national archive. If ages checked out, we'd assemble a bigger team and return on a second trip to try to explore further why people were living so long." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"After every game, shed be nursing a twisted knee, a bruised elbow, or strained neck with too little time to recover before the next match. Her ailing body was forcing her to retire from the game, and this caused her great despair. I did energy-healing work on her regularly and taught her how to work on herself. She employed the methods religiously. After a match, shed limp off the court and start healing her injury of the week. By the end of the season, her team had made it to the championships and she was in better shape than shed been in years." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Now this fellow has had cancer of the prostate and the neck, and two heart attacks, each followed by heart surgery and bypass grafts. Why wasn't he protected? Luck? Genes? Maybe stress. Remarkably, ten years after the last onslaught of these diseases, he is alive and active. I would conjecture his good health habits helped him recover. I know that it really helps me to have purpose to what I'm doing, to have a job and finish the job and have another job, and to enjoy that process. As I say, I am blessed." But the tone was not totally content this time." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)
