Is All This Cleansing Really Going To Help My Emotional Health?

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?

When You Think Colonoscopy Risks, Do You Think Kidney Damage?

colonoscopy risks

Kidney damage has been linked to a class of drugs that is very commonly given before a colonoscopy.

Do you want to risk the health of your kidneys?

What good will it do to verify your colon health if you are harming your kidneys in the process?

There is a “black box warning” on colon-cleansing drugs containing sodium phosphate, because they have been linked to permanent kidney damage resulting in a lifetime of dialysis as well as a host of other complications!

So WHY are these drugs very commonly prescribed as colon cleansers before a colonoscopy?

Are doctors unaware of the dangers?  Are they cheaper than other similar drugs?

Why the hell would they risk your kidneys?!

Good question!  Though the answer doesn’t really matter.  YOU can watch out for yourself on this one!

When you think colonoscopy risks, THINK about your kidneys!

Refuse these drugs:

  • Visicol
  • OsmoPrep 

These are 2 of the drugs containing sodium phosphate.

A colonoscopy is a relatively safe procedure.  Please don’t risk long term injury by taking these drugs!

Of the few dangers associated with colonoscopy risks, kidney failure is BY FAR the most extreme.

Make sure that the nasty tasting beverage they give you to clean your bowel before your colonoscopy is not one that is linked to kidney failure!

Safer Alternative Precoloscopy-Colon-Cleansing Drugs

  • Miralax
  • Colyte
  • TriLyte

Make sure you are given the safe drug to prep with and then learn how your breathing can make you sick and what you can do about it pre op!

Are your lungs ready for colonoscopy risks?

Do You Have A Healthy Diet Plan?

healthy diet plan

Is what you eat healthy?

Are you a junk food junkie, or do you try to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet?

How do you know that what you are eating is actually healthy for you?

Go into your kitchen and look in your refrigerator and pantry.

Do you know what types of things should NOT be there?

Contrary to the lovely television commercials reassuring you that corn syrup is safe….. that is the first thing I recommend that you search for and eliminate from your kitchen.

When you begin searching, you will see that high fructose corn syrup is in everything!

Your body does not even recognize this stuff as a food source and does NOT secrete insulin to digest it when you eat it!

HFCS must be detoxed through your liver because your body is not digesting it.

If you eat enough high fructose corn syrup, you will crave it, BUT it isn’t really food!

Get it out of your kitchen.

Every time you resist health robbing foods, and choose fruits and vegetables instead, you improve your health instead of adding to your distress.

If you eat a diet of highly processed and chemicalized foods, odds are your palate is coated with yeasty build up so that you aren’t enjoying how wonderful Mother Nature’s goodies taste!

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and your palate will be washed clean so that you can actually taste the wonderful subtle flavors of natural foods.

Replacing undesirable foods with wholesome foods will play a big role in your healthy diet plan.

What food to you need to stock in your kitchen in order to support a healthy diet plan?

If you remove from your kitchen all of the junk foods that tempt you, and only eat them when you are not at your home…. you will eat far less of these unhealthy foods.

It will be so much easier to choose healthy snacks when they aren’t hidden behind the potato chips and candy.

The good news here is that there are many choices to choose from when stocking healthy foods in your kitchen.

A healthy diet plan is only possible if you plan ahead.

Healthy Foods That Should Be On Your Grocery List Continue reading Do You Have A Healthy Diet Plan?

The Weather Sucks, Why Is Exercise Important Anyway?

why is exercise so important

Weather messing with your exercise program?

I seem to be living under a perpetual gray cloud lately.  The clouds really aren’t all that bad, it’s the frigid trade winds that get to me.

Do you walk or jog first thing in the morning?

Isn’t it hard to get out there when it is raining, or worse yet snowing… and COLD?

You just feel like turning off the alarm and pulling the blanket over your head.

“Wake me up when it is sunny!”

Or maybe…. you are suffering at the other end of the spectrum.  Are your clothes dripping after your afternoon walk, and you feel like a noodle trying to lift a fork to your mouth at dinner?

The sun can really take it out of you, huh?

What is the alternative to suffering through the elements to get your daily exercise in?

Drive through traffic to the gym to run around in circles without a view?

Fun?  I don’t think so!

Why is exercise important anyway?

Is Exercise Worth Your Time?

  • Exercise strengthens your heart muscle.
  • If you lose muscle you lose bone.
  • Mental clarity is not associated with lazy people.
  • Exercise actually increases your metabolism AND your energy level.
  • Physical activity strengthens your immune system.

Are you still asking why is exercise important?

 

How can you keep the motivation-stealing weather from sabotaging your daily walk? Continue reading The Weather Sucks, Why Is Exercise Important Anyway?

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

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!

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!
