One of the biggest categories that Lissa is recognizing in the world right now are people that are not technically classified as Sick People or Well People. We are familiar with this concept. Those of us who are not technically labeled Sick by professionals because blood tests are in the normal range, vital signs are stable yet we don’t feel vital. There can be a feeling of constant fatigue, depression, anxiousness, restless nights’ sleep, decreased libido, weight gain, muscle and joint aches and pains, digestive issues, headaches, chest tightness and dizziness.
As I mused about what to share this week, a client came and told me about an article she has just read in a local publication. It was a letter written by a woman to her body and my client said I am going to put this letter where I can read it every day and remember how special my body is! She believed that it was likely many of us could relate to the essence of the message. I agree…it is a common theme. Here is the letter:
Did you know that beeswax candles clean the air when they burn? Beeswax releases negative ions when it burns. Pollen, dust, dirt, pollutants and any other junk in the air all carry a positive charge, and that is how they can be suspended in the air. The negative ions released from burning beeswax negate the positive charge of the air contaminants, and the neutralized ions are sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground.
I recently traveled to Arizona to attend a Reiki Masters Intensive led by Phyllis Lei Furumoto of the Reiki Alliance. It was nurturing on many levels. I was with a beautiful community of reiki masters from around the world and though we had never met, there was a connection brought through this healing gift we shared.
For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I value the ability we have to continually educate ourselves. It provides a better platform to make wise choices in our lives so that we create the outcomes we want. On that note, I would like to highlight the community film nights hosted by The Green Connections Network. Moving into our third season, these documentary style films have been a highlight of the community building activities of this great green group!
Each year International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. The first International Women’s Day was held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organizations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women’s groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.
As I sit with these words and allow them to bring new ideas and meaning into my daily life, I realized a new way of looking at my own love language. My top language happens to be “quality time”; something that I cherish from my husband, family and friends. I found myself contemplating how I could give myself the gift of quality time. I had never thought of how to feed myself with my own love language.
Every year I purchase science and discovery type magazines for my family to read over the Christmas holidays and this year was no exception. An article entitled “Could this Apple Poison Me?” in the Ideas & Discoveries magazine really caught all of our attention. Education allows us to make informed choices and so I would like to share some of the highlights of this article about imported poisons and the hidden health hazards with you.
Happy 2015! I am pleased to share this Women’s Wellness Circle news for the coming year. Within the healing community, I am receiving many affirmations that the astrology, numerology and spiritual messages of 2015 bring infinite possibility and openness to new ways of being for those who are ready to tune in.
out of body experiences – this topic drew the most discussion on the evening of circle. Donna described her own experiences with this from a young girl as she would wake up in the night mentally aware of where she was but unable to move her body…this is called body paralysis. It is a temporary experience and happens as she describes when the soul is leaving the body for astral travel.
