Read on ….

==========================================================================================

 

Congestive heart failure symptoms cloud your perception and leave you without hope.

Easter time brings us Spring and new life.

Will Easter be a time of renewing for you?

Getting stuck in self destructive habits will tear you down.  Hurting yourself is depressing!

What will it take to cause a shift to a more nurturing space?

How can Easter Sunday 2011 begin a season of hope and renewing for you?

I have been caregiving for over 25 years.

Caregivers do what they do because of the compassion that drives them.  Nurturing others through their darkest hours takes more compassion than most people possess!

Caregivers stand in that compassionate place with such ease that they make it look effortless.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The challenge for caregivers is to prioritize self care.

Burn out will sneak up on you.  It happens gradually when you don’t notice that your grooming, social life and physical activities begin to fall away.

My burnout happened without me noticing.  I just woke up one day and found myself sick and exhausted.  I hurt from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and I had no idea how I got there or what to do to change the situation.

The journey back to health was a process. Valuing my needs as much as those I cared for was often challenging for me.

Do you have difficulty valuing “me time”?

There are only so many hours in the day, and there is SO much that needs to be done!

My purpose drives me so much that it is easy to devalue my own needs.  The world is facing an epidemic of heart failure!

Low oxygen level is one of the most devastating congestive heart failure symptoms, an it is snuffing out life at an alarming rate!

I am passionate about teaching the world to self nurture and beat heart failure BEFORE it beats YOU!

It is so easy to find reasons that you don’t have time to slow down and rest, work usually trumps fun, and running on empty makes exercise feel like torture.

I couldn’t value “me time” until my pain level became mind numbing.

By the time I hit rock bottom, I had lost hope.

I didn’t even look for answers until I lost everything.

I couldn’t work, I couldn’t sleep, and nothing helped the pain, absolutely nothing!

That brick wall of pain turned out to be my saving grace!

The pain made me surrender. It made me be still. I had no answers.

Surrender is the first step to becoming a student. When I was ready, my teachers appeared.

I’ve got to admit that I was very skeptical of the messages I was receiving from the Universe. It was all just too simple.

My doctor was offering me narcotics to fight the pain, so the simple wisdom that kept crossing my path seemed to be insignificant.

Respiratory therapists breathe for you when you can’t breathe for yourself.

It was hard for me to accept that I was not breathing properly and that my pain level would not improve until I improved my breathing.

Un-learning what you think to be true can be impossible.

I am humbly grateful that I was able to receive that message from the wonderful teachers who saved me from myself.

I was set free from my prison of pain when I began to make significant progress with better breathing!

Heart Healthy Tips

Heart healthy tips sound light weight when you consider that the world is facing an epidemic of heart failure.

Have you heard of Bruce Lipton?  He should be famous for the work he did in the 1960s that gave solid proof that your thoughts effect you in all areas of life.  The only reason he isn’t famous in every household ’round  the world is that people weren’t quite ready to embrace quantum physics back then.

The world was still flat.

Western medicine (those entities that Dr. Ali refers to as medical merchants) would like you to believe that the world is flat.

Tapping World Summit 2011 is upon us.  The world is round!

Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) Is a Powerful Healing Tool!

Processing your emotions instead of stuffing them is the secret to healing with your mind.

The Tapping World Summit is giving Bruce Lipton a voice.  The world is finally ready to listen.

The medical community at large wants you to believe that you are a victim of your genes and you need to look at your heart disease as a plumbing problem.  They want you to think that there is nothing you can do to avoid their drugs and surgery.

Take 35 minutes out of your busy schedule to learn why you have more control over your health and wellness than you have been taught all your life.

Click on the link below and hear it from Bruce Lipton himself, if you’d like.  Then come on back and finish the post.  You’re going to want to hear about how this fits in to your big picture.

Learn how you can heal yourself or make yourself sick.

If your mind believes you are taking a miracle drug, you will heal even if it is really just a sugar pill.

It is a proven fact that The Placebo Effect is responsible for 1/3 of all medical healing!

The Nocebo Effect is just as powerful in the opposite direction.

Is the World Facing an Epidemic of Heart Failure?

Heart Disease, , ,

If there is truly an epidemic of heart failure going on in the world today, what can you do about it?

Heart Failure is the result of underlying disease processes that fatally damage your heart!

Your elevated blood sugar and blood pressure are huge contributing factors to developing heart failure.

Of course you can’t discuss the cause of heart failure without acknowledging the fact that nutrition and exercise have everything to do with health and vitality.

As well as nourishing you physically, nutrition and exercise affect the chemical environment of your brain and blood stream influencing your behaviors, emotions and even mental disorders.

Nutrition can not be minimized as a contributing factor of heart failure.

Nutrition is a BIG deal.  Eat more fruits and vegetables!

There’s an epidemic of heart failure going on … haven’t you heard?

Seriously, ignoring any of the contributory causes of heart failure is a grievous mistake.

It is easier to prioritize better food choices and more activity for your loved one, than it is to make sure you give yourself that extra special care.

A sincere desire for change allows you to seek a better approach to diet and lifestyle, though you will have to find the inspiration and determination to actually follow through consistently before you realize the benefits.

Your health is the result of your habits.

Your bad habits are often the gag you use to silence your suppressed emotions!

Your unprocessed emotions are also an important contributor to heart failure! Continue reading Is the World Facing an Epidemic of Heart Failure? →

Is It Just Stress? Chest Pain Isn’t Always Serious, Is It?

Is It Just Stress? Chest Pain Isn’t Always Serious, Is It?

Do you ever feel significant chest pain?

Does it worry you?

Any type of chest pain that causes you concern or that is accompanied by any of the following symptoms, should be considered an emergency:

  • Pressure, tightness and squeezing pain across the chest
  • Pain radiating down the arm, shoulders, jaw, neck, and back, particularly on the left side
  • Shortness of breath
  • Dizziness, sweating, weakness, overwhelming fatigue
  • Feeling of impending doom
  • Headache, blurry vision, light-headedness, feeling faint
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, nausea and vomiting
  • Coughing and palpitations

You are much better safe than sorry.

If you experience symptoms like those above, you want to get to a hospital and rule out the possibility that you are having a heart attack.

Do not reason it away and lose valuable time.

There are many other causes of chest pain that can become worrisome, but they won’t give you sudden extreme symptoms like those of a heart attack.

Any of the following might give you chest pain:

  • GERD or heartburn
  • excessive belching
  • hiatal hernia
  • gastric ulcer
  • pulled muscle

Suffice to say that if you are worried, seek the advice of your doctor.

With that said, let me also say that even if you think your chest pain is related to stress, it is still cause for concern. Continue reading Is It Just Stress? Chest Pain Isn’t Always Serious, Is It? →

Is Your Screen Time Causing Your Early Signs of Heart Disease?

Heart Disease, , , , , ,

How much time do you spend every day staring at a screen?

That is television, computer, text messaging … all of those screens.

You may spend more time than you think you do.

Did you know  …


Researcher Professor David Dunstan told London’s The Independent that even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats.

A study from Australia reports that every hour you spend watching television increases your risk of heart disease by 18%.  I’m no math wiz so I won’t tell you what that adds up to, but suffice to say

Your Screen Time Could Most Definitely Be Causing Your Early Signs of Heart Disease!

 

That same study found that people who spent hours watching television greatly increased the chances of dying early from heart attacks and strokes.


TV increases your risk of cancer death, and your risk of death from all causes.

 

A lot of the normal activities of daily living that use to involve standing up and moving the muscles in the body have been converted to sitting.

Sitting and reading a book for an hour, could also increase your risk of death.

Is your work increasing the chance of death?  If you have to sit at a desk for long hours … Yes.

Is Heart Bypass Surgery Over Kill For a Simple Health Challenge?

When you hear a simple suggestion for a HUGE problem, do you dismiss it?

If it’s a HUGE problem, it probably needs an equally big solution, wouldn’t you say?

What if you are dead wrong?

What if the simple solution you just dismissed is the answer to your prayers?

“No thanks, simple solutions really aren’t my style, I like the drama of heart bypass surgery.”

Are you serious?

If there is a simple solution to your health challenges, then why would your doctor offer you such in invasive solution?

Maybe because it doesn’t require you to do anything but show up?  Problem is, you need to show up again in 10 years for a repeat performance of “Slicing You Open”.

Perhaps the even bigger issues are the ones your doctor doesn’t have a quick fix for.  In fact, unless your doctor is knowledgeable about a specific “simple solution”, he/she does not know how to help you with a laundry list of health problems!
