		<description><![CDATA[The relaxation experience is beautiful. It is good for us, but also a great pleasure – a rather infrequent coupling!

		<title>Tonic Thoughts Make Us Feel Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is a magic occurrence to experience the difference that a positive tonic thought can have upon your emotions and mental state.

		<title>Toxic Thoughts Pollute our Minds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To avoid mental pollution that is even more dangerous an issue than pollution of our physical environment we must be alert to withstand efforts to programme our thoughts negatively.

		<description><![CDATA[Most angry people are reacting, often without conscious thought.  The cause is more often than not from emotional rather than rational issues.

		<description><![CDATA[Prevention is the wisest path to follow if we wish to keep our minds in good shape and avoid mental disease.
