Anxiety, my new outlook upon it…

Anxiety. A real monster. A reality in life.

We have energy inside us, outside of us, around us, and through us.  That energy is color and describes our demeanor.

I have recently realized to ask each day, “what do I want to be free of today?”

THEN…

The thing that I wanted to be free from may be just the thing that tethers me to a higher power. I can be free from the thing binding me, but at the same time, the thing tethers me to others who have the same “thing”. I can hold space for others in this “thing”; I can say to them, “you are not the only one.”

If I had not had the anxiety attacks, and the health manifestations that came with them, maybe I would not be as sensitive and know what to do with those people.  RATHER, I can embrace the anxiety, the results of it, the worry and the results of it, the control issues and the results with them, and the abandonment issues and the issues with that (and all of this from childhood to now), and MAKE THIS MY MESSAGE. This is ME.

It is how we ride the things (the roller coasters, waves, etc.) we want to be free of, and the things we love, and all the things in between, that make the difference. The difference, as a counselor told me, is “as a piece of hair on our head; the diameter of the hair is the difference between terror and excitement.”

I hate roller coasters, and always have, and probably always will; they terrify me. I asked myself what is it about them that I hate…and that is where it all became clear, connected with the anxiety in my life, and described my relation with the anxiety.  We all ride them differently, the things that terrify us, and yet something draws us to them at the same time. REPEAT THAT, it is profound. We all ride them differently, the things that terrify us, and yet something draws us to them at the same time.

Breath and Spirit are the same word in all languages and cultures on this earth, and in the word of the Creator (the Bible’s Hebrew).

Love others as you love yourself then takes on a whole new meaning:  unselfish to yourself “as” (at the same time as) others.

Take care. Be healthy.

Moons

Look at the moon feel the peace. Full moons are energy; they pull up and recharge. Full moons revive gems and crystals, plants, people. Go out and be in the full moon. The next week the energy will be great, as was last week. Then it will begin to draw down, push into, and release for 14 days ish. It is a cycle, a beautiful cycle. Been doing this my entire life: looking up and around and down to retrieve the creation’s gifts to me. Outside is a great place to go when needing peace and release and The Father’s touch! (That is a daily thing, and in large doses).

ready for real change? want healing for your child?

I just spoke with a friend and a client. She did a hair analysis with me through the best lab (recommended in books) in the nation for this kind of test. She has been learning so much about herself, experimenting with taking things out and adding things in to her food and life and supplements. She just told about how she stopped taking her calcium this week and has felt so much better, and her heart was not hurting at all; she said is had affected her sluggishness during the mid day and other things, that are disappearing! The analysis results showed that she did not need calcium; she needed other things to absorb it (there is more detail in this if anyone wants more examples). I am just on a high for what can be done and how the body will heal anything given a chance. I had a convo with someone last night who has a daughter with tourettes, which is totally curable despite the pharma take on it. It is a disorder in the category of ADD and other things similar. It is a mineral/vitamin/nutrition deficiency/gut disorder. It can be fixed. It can be cured!! Please contact me if you want to change your life or change your child’s life. I am totally excited about having complete and total time to serve and learn. I am learning so much more than I have ever, putting pieces together I never would have put in the same puzzle. The body is AMAZING! THE CREATOR IS AMAZING. We are given the power to heal and be healers. Action friends. NOW BREATHE, just breathe. AND LISTEN. just listen.

Allergies or Nasal congestion?

Many ways to take care of this.

congestion is congestion,  and it all comes from the nasal passages or the stomach (core) of your being.

I can help you with finding the right formulas for you. My daughter does well with homeapohy tabs. My son does better with tinctures and Allergy capsules. I do best with tincutures alone.

Contact me for the lists of the best I can suggest (tried and experimented with and watched many others do the same over 20 yrs)

NOTE: the ultimate best way to turn around the body to congestion and to allergies is with knowing the minerals controling you. Mineral hair analysis is the way to go. I use one of the best companies/labs for this: Trace Elements. I am a consultant, taking the samples and explaining the results to you. It is worth it!!! Babies, children, all ages, have been changed with just a simple test like this. There is much nutritional advice and supplement recommendations. If one does what the lab says, changes will occur, always for the better.

Massage also does great things for the allergies. It releives the lymph, relaxes the inflammed muscles, and causes cleansing, creating a stonger body to handle those congestion issues.

Contact me to find out more, or set a consulting apt.

I am a certified Health Coach and Massage Therapist, practicing herbalist, and healthy lifestyle advocate. I have done this my entire life.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT…YES,YOU ARE!

We’ve all heard the statement, “You are what you eat.” It sounds so simple, and it probably gets overused. But there’s much more to it.

What you eat before you have children affects you, of course, but we now know it has a profound effect on the health of your children and even your grandchildren. This is the science of epigenetics, the medicine of the future.

What Is Epigenetics?

Epigenetics is the emerging science of how food and other aspects of your environment affect the expression of your genes. Until just a few years ago, science told us that to a large degree our health was determined by whether we inherited good genes or bad genes from our parents. But epigenetics has shown us that, although we inherit a specific genetic identity, how those genes are expressed in terms of wellness or illness is largely determined by what we eat and how we live.

In reality, less than 10 percent and probably as little as 2 or 3 percent of illnesses are due to our inherited genes. The other 90 to 98 percent is determined by how we live and what we choose to eat.

Although we now have an abundance of evidence that you can turn on good genes and turn off bad genes, I want to tell you about two specific studies that demonstrate the profound significance of that fact.

Francis Pottenger’s Cats

Gray Graham Pottenger's ProphecyIn the 1930s, Francis Pottenger, MD, made an observation about some cats that led him to undertake a multigenerational study of how changing the diets of cats affected the health of the cats.

It probably won’t surprise anyone to learn that when Pottenger changed the diet from what he called their optimal diet to one that was more processed, the cats were not as healthy. When he kept constant that same deficient diet, the next generation of kittens were even less healthy than their parents, and the third generation’s health was even more profoundly affected!

By the second generation, he observed that the once perfect cats now had narrowed faces, crooked teeth, fatty livers, enlarged hearts, social dysfunction, and even sexual dysfunction. By the third generation, the cats were no longer able to reproduce. Does this sound to any of you like what we’re seeing today in the United States? We are now three generations into a profound change in the American diet, and when you put it into the context of epigenetics, it is not turning out that well.

Swedish Epidemiological Study

The second study I would like to talk about is an epidemiological study that was conducted with historical data from a remote village in Northern Sweden. For centuries the inhabitants of Overkalix, a remote village, relied on their access to fish supplemented by crops such as potatoes and grains and farm animals such as pigs. Because these Swedes kept meticulous records of the successes and failures of their crops as well as the birth and death records of their residents, a Swedish epidemiologist and a British geneticist were able to show from that data that the abundance or scarcity of food particularly during the slow growth period (between 8 and 11 years of age for girls and 9 and 12 years of age for boys) of the inhabitants had a profound effect on the health of future generations.

The most startling conclusion was that when the children had access to an overabundance of high-glycemic foods, their grandchildren had significantly shorter lifespans — up to 31 years shorter. Furthermore, they more commonly died from heart disease and diabetes. With our extraordinary rates of heart disease and diabetes in the U.S. today, we just have to ask, “Are we now seeing the effects of the switch to a low fat, high carbohydrate, highly processed diet that we undertook three generations ago?” It’s definitely something to think about.

Looking at this data can be terrifying in the context of what we’ve done to our health and the health of our children, but here’s the good news. After the third generation of cats in his study could no longer reproduce, Pottenger reversed the diets of the degenerated cats and they could once again reproduce and have healthier kittens. Although it took several generations of a whole-food diet to restore the cats to their original perfection, they immediately started their journey back to health.

CALL TO ACTION

faith                                                                                                              LET’S get to moving and shaking the world around us. Let’s write a prayer, a request (the talking part), and then listen for the Voice, our core (our gut), to answer; the next step is to ACT. We have to be brave and “fall forward”. Failing is success.  Success is success.

Here is my prayer for today: a prayer of thanks. (WATCH FOR THE NEXT FEW BLOGS TO BE OUTRIGHT ACTIONS–that means you have to come back and read what I have to say next).

Thank you my Elohim, Father, for waking me up this morning, inspired and ready for the next challenge, battle, gift, you have for me. Thank you for your for being my armor, my guidance, my inspiration, my first glimpse of real Love and Life, my healer, my greatest physician (my only physician), my best counselor, my biggest pillow, my most patient listener, and my spiritual rock. You are the only voice that stays constant, that rules my heart and head, that keeps my gut (my core) the ruling part. I know that the gut is always your voice, no matter what, and the heart is the following part.  You, oh Father, are the greatest thing that every happened to me, and have blessed me with some of the greatest people, family, things on earth. Riches are not in earthly things, but rather you are in riches. Here we go Father! I want to be your advocate. I want to be your feet on this earth, creating paths for people to walk toward you; YOU want this for me (that is why I want this).  Our failings are in “I wants” except when we “want” you and your walk.  I will take no credit for myself; if I gain fame or popularity, I will keep on keep’in on, and know it is all for you to be known to the world; it is for every part and piece, before your great entrance back onto this earth comes.  If I stay low key, the same abides in me, keep on keep’in on.  Will you please lead me to take the things meant for action, off the page, out of head, and be rid of the “I don’t like the sound of my voice on video”, and the poor excuses, and the “I don’t know how” goofball statements lying to my heart and head.? Would you help me practice each day one new thing with my video camera, live feed, blogging, and other things I have issues with, and cause them to be strengths? I believe you are already working in me. I have a schedule for blogging (hate computer sit down jobs) and I have visions and ideas for great short video blogs/live streaming on Facebook, etc.  I have a written plan for creating times to speak to moms groups and home school groups, and other places to make a name out there. I know you have set me on a path the past two years, and I am ready to put it all into another gear higher (and speed scares me). I am going to do this stuff. I Love you Oh Father. In the name of the Messiah, Lord over me, I say AMEN.

let’s get together and feel alright

OK everyone, my blog today is to encourage you to take a moment with yourself.

Yes, now.

Think about who you are.  How do you see yourself in this moment? What would you want to make different in this moment? Have you asked the Father above to help you in this moment? If not, take a few seconds and ask. Yes, it is that simple to request, but the harder part is to stay quiet long enough to listen. When you hear it, write it down.  Now, ponder it. Was it a simple, yes, or was there more to it? Do you need to ask more questions? Write down the answers. Begin the path to renewal within the gut voice talking to you. It is always correct. Your gut, your core, where the voice comes from, and where all the emotions and past junk or past joys are stored (not in the head are they stored, not at all…memories are completely different from emotions from those memories). Think on this little bit I have given you today, and I will have more for you tomorrow.

If any of this has stirred some “I need some health help, or a massage, or just want to get friends together for a class in cooking, bread making, simple herbal basics, natural remedy making, infant massage instruction, survival topics, or something else, just give me a call or message me for a free consultation (unless you are already my client), and we will blaze the trail.

Survival to-do-list

September Preppers To Do List

Sanitation

  1. Do a sanitation survey. Discover the answer to these questions:
    1. Do you have running water if the electricity is out? (If you have a well, chances are you do not)
    2. Does your toilet flush into a main sewer line or does it flush into a septic system?
    3. If your toilet flushes into a main sewer line, is there a valve that shuts your house off from the sewer line? If so, find out where it is and how to shut off the line to prevent back-up into your house.
  2. Get some disposables. Pick up 1 pack of paper plates, 1 pack of disposable utensils, and a pack of Lysol cleaning wipes. This will make clean-up easy during a short-term power/water outage.
  3. Find the nearest body of water where you could acquire a bucket full for flushing the toilet, or in a dire emergency, for purifying to drink. Is it within walking distance? Would it be accessible during an emergency? (Some folks would frown on people traipsing through their yards to get to the pond out back.)

Sustenance

  1. Begin saving empty 2-liter soda bottles. Rinse them out well, allow to air dry. Bottle caps can be run through the dishwasher, if you have one. These containers can be used to store dry foods of all types, from cornmeal to oatmeal to rice.
  2. Buy 1 package of oxygen absorbers from Amazon. Size: 50 cc. You will use one in each small size food storage container. See our oxygen absorber guide for more details.
  3. Look for the cheapest rice and beans you can find. Sometimes ethnic markets have the best deals. Buy as much as you can afford this week; you’ll be repackaging the food in the clean bottles with an oxygen absorber.

Survival

  1. Do a health assessment of each member of the family. Are there any issues, including dental, that need to be addressed? If possible, schedule an annual physical for each person to get even more information about what concerns, if any, should be taken care of. Prioritize these.
  2. Organize your gear. You probably already have numerous items around your house that are typically part of emergency supplies and bug out bags. This week, begin in one room and see how many of these items you can track down in drawers, cupboards, and other storage spaces. There’s no point in spending money on more duct tape, for example, if you already have 3 or 4 rolls scattered around the house and garage!
  3. Complete the 5-step threat assessment.

Shelter

  1. Put a plan in place for surviving in your home during a summer power outage. If you have elderly loved ones, anyone with chronic health issues, or a baby in the family, make plans to evacuate them elsewhere for the duration of a longer term power outage.
  2. Buy a battery powered fan…you’ll be so happy you did if you have a summer power outage.
  3. Do a home security assessment. Think like a criminal and try to figure out the weak points in your home security. Are your locks flimsy? Are there windows that would be easy to breach? Are there any neighbors of whom you’re suspicious? Take notes – we’ll use this later!

Security

  1. Do a walk-around your entire property. If you were a thief, is your home an inviting target? What can be seen through the windows? Are there obvious security issues you should address?
  2. Make copies of each family member’s birth certificates, marriage licenses, all insurance policies (auto, health, homeowners, renters, etc.) and the front and back of each credit and debit card. Refer to the Grab-n-Go Binder printable for a complete list.
  3. Buy a 3-hole punch if you don’t already own one! This one simple tool will make it much easier to keep your binder up to date.

Sanity

  1. You are doing the right thing! Don’t let people make you feel like you’re all doom and gloom. Read Daisy’s article, Prepping is the Ultimate Act of Optimism.
  2. Look for sanity-savers at yard sales and thrift stores. Hit the sales with your children in mind. (But not in tow – this is a grown-up excursion!) Pick up age-appropriate toys and books, and stash them away without letting the kids see what you got. Then, during a power outage or emergency, you’ll have a brand new (to them) stash of goodies to entertain your kiddos. Obviously, focus on toys that don’t require the grid to work.
  3. Take a walk. If you’re just getting started with fitness, do what you can do. Go for 15 minutes at a slow pace. If you’re in good shape, commit to walking 5 days a week. This is great for your mind and your body!
