Elder Spring Cleaning

“Help! I’m buried in spring cleaning!”

Are you having trouble finding your way out of the mess you created trying to get your spring cleaning done?

“Guilty as charged!”

When you pass through a transition in your life, sometimes the cleaning is so bitter sweet that it stirs up your world physically, mentally and spiritually.

I want to encourage you to keep on pushing through the mess until you bring your home the harmony that you deserve.

When you pull out all the assorted accumulation from the past, you may find that you can’t just toss it away and move on.

People make a living out of helping others get organized because it is a challenging thing to do for those who aren’t.

If you are highly efficient and organized, then I salute you!

If you aren’t, don’t sweat it!  Start from your bedroom and work your way out.

When the first and last thing you see every day is clean and organized, the rest of your life will become more clean and organized.

 

Why should you care about cleanliness?

I mean you wouldn’t want to smell, so you shower everyday, but the house work just never stops and is always going to be there, right?

Is there really any health benefit to spring cleaning?

How in the world can pulling everything out of the closet and making a bigger mess possibly help?!

For years I felt that spring cleaning was a waste of time.  Heck, spring cleaning was a dirty word!

This spring, I am embracing the season with a thorough purging of things un-needed.

At 44, with my daughters giving me teenage challenges and my little 4 year old boy struggling to get a word in edge wise, spring cleaning stirred up the realization that I have passed into a new chapter in my life.

This year I feel a need to pull all that “stuff” out of the boxes and see if I truly need to keep holding on to it.

The process brought up many old memories that I would rather not remember.  It made me realize that I still harbor anger over events that happened a long time ago.

My anger is more irritation than rage, but when the “old stuff” reminded me of events from the past, and old anger surfaced, I was very aware that I had just released energy that had been harming me.

My light mood for the past week has reminded of the huge benefits gained from stirring up old feelings and releasing them all over again.  It wasn’t the first time, and it probably won’t be the last.

Every time you cause old emotions to surface Continue reading Is All This Cleansing Really Going To Help My Emotional Health? →

Can a Detox Diet Help You Bring Your Life Into Focus?

Mind Set, , , , , , , , , , , ,

detox diet

There aren’t enough hours in the day!

Seriously!  How do YOU get everything done?

Do you ever feel like you are chasing your tail?

That tail chasing feeling is usually accompanied by the nagging feeling that you are forgetting something.

Would you like more energy, more calm confidence, AND the ability to heal your suffering?

That is what a Sacred Breathing can do for you.

The problem is that unless you have some ulterior motive to improve performance, or your singing voice, you’re not likely to stick with the application of breath building exercises.


Are you sick and tired of being tense, stiff, and downright irritable?

If you don’t have time to make lifestyle changes and you don’t have time for food prep, what can you do?

Do you feel powerless to make changes that will help you?

 

How can a detox diet help stop the insanity?

Decrease the toxic load you are carrying around and you will reverse disease!

The 7 Stages of Disease

1.  nervous exhaustion

Not enough fuel.

2.  toxicity

Resulting from lack of energy.

3.  irritation

From building toxicity.

4.  inflammation

That’s when you feel it!

5.  ulceration

Toxicity eats away at tissues.

6.  induration

Your body tries to encapsulate the toxicity to protect itself.

7.  cancer

When the cells of your harmonious organism turn against you.

Irritation is actually one of the stages of disease!

The best way to get YOUR disease process moving backwards towards health is to pay attention to rest and diet.

For Starters:

  • Get plenty of sleep.
  • Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of WATER every day.
  • Nurture positive relationships.
  • Eat lots of fruits and vegetables in as close to a natural state as possible.
  • Make yourself top priority.

A detox diet is about making your insides cleaner so that your view of your life is crystal clear.

If you are just too over whelmed to make detox diet changes today, then let food be your medicine.

Add a nutritional supplement to your morning routine and see if that doesn’t make you feel better!

When you feel better, you’ll feel up to making more positive change!

Can Symptoms Of Depression Lead To An Emotional Storm Of Healing?

Mind Set, , , , , ,

Depression reminds me of a slow drizzle on a gray day.

Depression feels like a slow drizzle.

I mean it isn’t something you would associate with a down pour.

Depression is more like an endless gloomy day.

 

We have had an unusual number of gray drizzly days.  Every time I look out my window I feel a bit depressed.

When I get out in the drizzle, I pull my coat around me tightly and hurry through my daily walk.

Well today, I looked up at the sky from my desk and wondered what kind of a walk I would have today.

Intermittent clouds threatened to make it soggy, and after the pounding rains last night, I wondered if I might need an umbrella.

By the time I put my shoes on and leashed up the dogs, it looked like the sun was going to shine down on us.

We hit the road with the cool trade winds blowing a light drizzle in our faces, and the sun warming our backs.

Right away I was struck by the loud sound of flowing water from a stream that had accumulated where there isn’t normally a stream.

“What a treat!”

Just the sound seemed to wash away my dark mood.

When we reached a part of the road where the flowing water traveled through the tall grass and splashed down small unseen water falls, it seemed like the sound was all around us.

The little stream that runs beside our daily walk had come to life during the down pour last night.

Where the new road is being plowed at the end of the pavement, there was glistening beauty, and sparkling playful waterfalls where the bare earth lie exposed yesterday.

I took the time to be still and breathe in the wonderful peaceful feeling the stream had created.

The flowing water seemed to have made the world pure and clean again.

My light mood was a gift from the storm.

 

Your symptoms of depression really can give way to an emotional storm that can wash away the wounds of the past if you allow it.

Mother Nature’s dramatic storm had washed the world clean.  When you let your emotions RIP… they are capable of washing YOU clean.

Whether it is excitement or intense grief, the shear power of the emotion can be felt in your gut, and often causes you to feel like if you don’t move or make some kinda noise, you will just burst.  Powerful emotions get your juices flowing.

 

If you suppress an intense emotion you can feel it rot your gut and climb up your throat.

Did you get the message when you are very young that it is not okay to express unpleasant emotions?

Stuffing your emotions will cause you much suffering.

Emotions are your spiritual compass.  They are meant to give direction in the moment they arise.

It is your choice to follow the direction your emotions point you, or ignore them.

When you choose to deny an emotion you prevent the release of that energy so it stays in you and harms you.

Would You Like To Discover The Meaning Of Happiness?

Release Negative Energy So That You Can Vibrate With Joy!

Have you ever had your good mood soured by someone’s bad attitude?

Shoot, with public cell phone use these days, you can share all the drama in a strangers life, if you stand in line with them long enough!

Ever tried NOT to eaves drop on half a conversation being screamed into a cell phone?

Its just not doable without putting a finger in each ear saying “LA-LA-LA-LA!”  (No wonder so many people keep their ears plugged with audio devices.)

If that high decibel conversation is negative, and you forgot to bring your ipod, ya might be tempted.

If you prefer to avoid childish behavior in public,

Try This Helpful Tactic

*Visualize the noise hitting you like a brick wall for a few minutes.

*Now FEEL the noise passing through you, like wind through trees.

Feel the difference?

Like noise, you can’t necessarily SEE negative energy, but you CAN feel it!

When you bump into someone in a powerful bad mood, you can feel your good mood sour, can’t you?

Can you shake it off and continue with your happy day?

That depends entirely on how much negative energy you are carrying around in your body.

Would you like to reduce your stored negative energy so that you can stay happy even when someone is raining on your parade?

 

Would you like to discover the meaning of happiness?

Negative energy creates powerful emotions.  When you release  negativity, you release tension.  You lighten your load.

Harness feelings of resentment, judgment, and dread, and you will rot your guts out!

Release them, and you will feel the weight of the world being lifted from your shoulders.

Happiness is the quality of your vibration, isn’t it?

 

Intentionally Create Happiness

From a light-hearted perspective, it is very easy to find things to be grateful for.

Life challenges you and you forget to notice.

Can you focus on gratitude in the midst of chaos and confusion?

  • You are vibrating with energy all the time.
  • Your energy is dark, fearful and powerless……..
  • Bright, joyful, and full of appreciation………………
  • Or somewhere in between.

The Goal is to Vibrate with a higher frequency.

Low frequency vibration is suffering.

Grow your skill at choosing to release low vibrational frequency and shift your focus to a Joyful memory.

Start where you are!

YOU ARE HERE:

(From Ester and Jerry Hicks’ book Ask and It is Given)

1.  Joy/Love/Appreciation
2.  Passion
3.  Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
4.  Positive Expectation/Belief
5.  Optimism
6.  Hopefulness
7.  Contentment
8.  Boredom
9.  Pessimism
10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
11. Overwhelm
12. Disappointment
13. Doubt
14. Worry
15. Blame
16. Discouragement
17. Anger
18. Revenge
19. Hatred/Rage
20. Jealousy
21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
22. Fear/Grief/Despair/Powerlessness

Are you closer to a beautiful chime of Joy, or a harsh GONG! of despair?

It really doesn’t matter where you are.

YOU CAN GET TO HAPPINESS!

Got feelings of anger, revenge, or rage coursing through your veins?  Release it before it robs your Joy.

How?  Anyway you can, just don’t injure anyone else while you do it.  Nobody deserves to have your negative emotional puke dumped on them.

Take it to the back yard, a sound proof room, or some other isolated place.

  • scream
  • stomp
  • curse
  • throw yourself on the ground
  • heck cry it out if you need to

Just get that nasty energy out of you and prepare to refill yourself with love, light, and laughter.

Once you have cleared out the ugly clutter of emotions, you will have made room for new emotional frequencies.

Be aware that every 17 seconds you send out a signal that will attract ALL like frequencies to you.

Make sure you are careful what you focus on.

You don’t want to yuck yourself up again!

The space you have just cleared out, is like a vacuum.  It will pull new energy into the free space.

There are many ways to exert your will over your focused attention.  Putting your awareness on your heart is an easy button to intentionally create happiness!

Attract Positive Energy To Raise Your Vibration

*Think of a happy memory.  One that makes your heart soar!
*While you let yourself enjoy that memory, focus on your heart.
*Breathe the happiness of that memory into your heart, as though you are actually breathing with your heart.
*Keep your focus on your heart for as long as you can.

This is actually my own humble version of a technique called “Freeze Frame” that is a HeartMath tool.

At the Institute of HeartMath (IHM) Research Center, they are “exploring the physiological mechanisms by which the heart communicates with the brain, thereby influencing information processing, perceptions, emotions and health.”

One of the early pioneers in neurocardiology, Dr. J. Andrew Armour, introduced the concept of a functional “heart brain” in 1991.

His work revealed that the heart has a complex intrinsic nervous system that is sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a “little brain” in its own right.

The heart’s brain is an intricate network of several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins and support cells like those found in the “brain proper”. Its elaborate circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain – to learn, remember, and even feel and sense.

For centuries, the heart has been considered the source of Emotion, Courage and Wisdom.

Now science has verified the fact that your heart has the ability to learn, remember, feel and sense!

How Do You Easily Relieve That Bone Tired Feeling From Post Holiday Fatigue?

Sleep, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Holiday fatigue

The holidays can bring on a deep down ache in your bones, can’t they?

Before you reach for a bottle of pills or alcohol, think of simple and wholesome ways to relieve that deep down tired feeling.

The woman of the house is the most prone to suffer post holiday fatigue.  Please, if you don’t need a bit of nurturing today, then find someone near and dear to you who does, and make sure she takes care of herself.

Ten years ago, when I first began my struggle with auto immune disease, I was forever looking for pain relief that was natural and wouldn’t knock me out.

I was taking a class on the weekends with a group of women from my daughters’ school.  The subject of pain relief came up and one of the ladies suggested I try a hot bath with plenty of Epsom Salt.

It seemed a bit too simplistic to possibly help with the extreme pain that I had been coping with, but hey, I would have tried anything at that point.

You would not believe the amount of pain that you can soak away in 20 minutes!

You need to use 2 full cups of Epsom Salts, or any type of bath salts really. It’s an extra special treat to add essential oils to the mix.

Light a candle or your favorite incense.  Turn on some soft music.  Soak away pain and worries for 20 minutes.

 

You will lower your pain level significantly without taking a drug that is hard on your liver and will contribute to heart failure.

So go soak your head!  It really is great advice!

Water therapy is truly amazing, simple and effective.

Keep your head under the water for as much of the 20 minute soak as you can possibly handle.  That is how you get the biggest benefit.

My family knows how I feel about a good soak in the tub and got me the perfect gift this year.

Look for Dr. Teal’s Lavender Epsom Salt Soaking Solution and Therapeutic Bath & Body at a store near you.  I’m telling you, it is heaven in a tub!

 

When you lower your pain level, you can get a much more restful sleep.  The quality of your sleep has everything to do with your fatigue level.

Never underestimate the power of sleep.  It is pure healing magic!

Happy soaking and sweet dreams!

Hope your Christmas was cozy and happy, and that you bring in the New Year surrounded by those you love.

Want To Stop Feeling Depressed?

Mind Set, , , , , , , , ,

It is a gray and rainy day on the Big Island of Hawaii.

I started the day with a conversation with a depressed (and depressing) friend.

It really set the mood for the morning.  My friends dark energy just seemed to cling to me.

When I took my daughter to the bus, the cold wind and pounding rain seemed to match my mood.

Last week when we were traveling down our road on the way to the school bus stop, my daughter was awe struck by the beautiful view, and grabbed the camera to take a picture through the wind shield, which was over due for a cleaning.

I was so surprised when I got home and took a look at the picture.

stop feeling depressed

Through that dirty window, she had captured the awesome beauty of the morning.

I chuckled, and thought, “wow, awesome beauty shines so brightly, ya don’t notice how murky your field of vision is.”

It reminded me of life.  No matter how stuck in the mud you are, just keep your eye on awesome, and you will be transformed.

 

Today, just the memory of that beautiful morning shines a light on my dark mood.

I am blessed.

You don’t have to be depressed.

Reach out to friends and family with the intention of uplifting spirits and you’ll find that is exactly what you’ll do!
