Have you ever heard the expression that “Life is Just an Illusion?” Humans have always searched for meaning and longed for the truth on why we are here and where we actually came from and go to. I remember as a child having some disturbing dreams about this unknown territory, yet thankfully have come to accept that for me – I know for sure that I am here now! This life feels very real.
Don’t Blame the Bugs is the title of an article in the winter edition of Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine that really spoke to me. Because people come to me when they are dealing with some level of imbalance, I am constantly reminded how the majority of us view germs, bugs, viruses etc. The sense is that they are lurking around every corner waiting to get us and make us sick.
For the past couple of years, I have been listening to my inner urge to find new space to do my healing work. Where I have been is wonderful and has served me perfectly for the past 11 years and I was ready for more. More space, more possibility, and a place to make my own tea!
This week we had a community viewing of a documentary entitled “That Sugar” hosted by the Green Connections Network. It was a brilliant coverage of what happened when a perfectly healthy Australian soon-to-be father decided to do an experiment. He had been clean of sugar in his diet for 3 years prior to the 60 day experiment. Then he decided to reintroduce sugar to his diet and the results were astonishing.
What Happened After Adding Sugar to his Diet After 3 Years Without It?
This year has brought a sense of angst within me. Our family is getting ready to shift to the next stage and I have been unable to make any definite plans with respect to timing. Let me explain. Our youngest returned from 5 years at university in May which means there are now 5 adults living in our modest sized home.
We had always planned to renovate our home and transform it into our ideal vision. One that would enhance the incredible property setting we have with our spectacular view. We began to draft layouts last year and allow our minds to dream of all the wishes we have accumulated over the years.
Continuing on my last post’s theme of hormone disruptors and building on the key health foundation of good sleep; I would like to share with you my journey to find a new mattress.
As we spend approximately 1/3 of our day resting and rejuvenating, it warrants spending some time researching what contributes to a good night’s sleep. I have been experiencing an increased amount of arm numbness and neck tension upon awaking so it has got my attention big time. Starting the day feeling rested and ready to go is the only way in my opinion.
I have been unable to ignore a message coming to me lately to share on my blog. Hormone disruptors are a key component affecting our core health and the ability to keep our body strong. I respect the research and work of The Environmental Working Group and as I reviewed their site, I found this wonderful blog post that I would like to share in its complete form with you.
What an incredible summer we are experiencing! Somehow as we arrive at September, our world still changes cycles. We are in the rich harvest time of our area with Farmers Markets loaded with produce and for those ambitious few who capture summer in a jar; it is a busy time. I love seeing the beautiful colours of summer filling my jars ready to provide nourishment throughout the winter months. On my to-do list are peaches, chili sauce, apple sauce and beets. Yum!
Last year was a turning point for me with regards to my oral health. I have had receding gums since my 20’s and my gum pockets have continued to deepen over the years. I am so happy to share with you today how I decreased my tooth gum pockets in the last year.
I was at the point of requiring my mouth to be frozen for my oral hygiene appointments. This was not only costly, but required me to spread my cleaning over 2 weeks, one appointment for each side of my mouth. I was then coached to go to a periodontist to have deep root cleaning as it was still impossible to get all the plaque from the deep pockets, where a couple measured 8. Something about that just didn’t feel good to me so I began to investigate options.
Being out of balance is a result of not paying attention to our needs, physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. What is your wake-up call that brings you back to awareness?
Every client that comes to see me for Reiki or Biophoton Light Therapy is out of balance to the point that they are very aware something is not working. A symptom or unwanted feeling has presented itself and they are ready to receive support to identify and heal the situation. This is not new information, however, sometimes taking a new perspective is what helps in the shift.
