Heal

As the winter holidays quickly approach, many people may experience a mixture of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, and sadness, along with many other emotional states that come and go. Holiday rituals and the changing of the seasons can bring both celebration and introspection. We may enjoy spending time with loved ones, decorating, spiritual practices, or shopping, and we may also be grieving losses, evaluating the year behind us, and planning for changes to come. Hopefully, as we all go through our own unique holiday experiences, we can make self-care a priority.

There is just something about the great outdoors that makes us feel alive. The fresh air, flowing water, and life everywhere.

There is so much more to Mother Earth’s medicine than just the plants provided. If I were a doctor I would fill out prescriptions for camping trips and outdoor events. Two of the most important things doctors will tell you is to get a lot of fresh air and to drink plenty of water, but that’s simply the beginning of it. The healing goes as deep as a tree’s roots travel and flows much like a steady river.

Panchakarma is a highly restorative and detoxifying therapeutic treatment used in Ayurvedic medicine. Deriving from the Sanskrit language, pancha meaning “five” and karma meaning “actions,” Panchakarma is a healing treatment that uses a variety of procedures to cleanse the body, revitalize the immune system and re-establish mental and physical balance. It is a completely unique experience for each person and is individualized based on the individual’s particular needs.

Artificial LED lighting like the winter waning of natural light can have negative effects on health and well-being. Ayurveda can help re-balance the body deprived of enough natural light and overexposed to LED lighting.

Winter darkness and the blues are hardly new. Natural light deprivation disrupts balance between mind and body, especially for people who mostly stay indoors during daytime hours. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can make people feel more depressed, irritable, moody and tired with low energy.

Remember your parents warning you about your eyesight? “Don’t sit too close to the television,” or “Eat your carrots, they’ll improve your eyes.” Sure, some of those things are myths, but if you’re tired of bumping around or wearing glasses, it’s time to look at the facts. Here are five ways to improve your eyesight.

Throughout my travels, I have easily learned that flying across multiple time zones in a short period of time causes what we have termed "jet lag." It's not so hard to recognize whether you're having jet lag or not; there are quite a few well-known symptoms which include fatigue, anxiety, headache, irritability, and insomnia. For frequent fliers, these symptoms might as well be their buddies throughout the trip.

My, what times. We are witnessing the Kaili Yuga, my friends - the prophesized era of warfare, Monsanto, and yes, Donald J. Trump. In a time of confusion and illusion, the tendency -- and the trap -- is to feel powerless.

Oh beating hearts, we are anything but powerless.

Water constitutes up to 55-60% of our body mass and is vital for most of the body's natural processes; these include flushing toxins, moistening oxygen for smooth breathing, transporting nutrients and maintaining the electrical charge of cells. Dehydration can occur when water content drops by as little as 2%; this causes fatigue, headaches, brain fog, digestive issues and more.

I first stumbled on the concept of “entrainment” during a Crystal Healing training. It is something many of us do naturally and most of us would love to be able to do with everyone we communicate with – or at least try to. I was thrilled to learn and then experience for myself how using clear quartz crystal with the right intention will help you to entrain to another person on such a level that is miraculous how well. Here is a brief clear quartz crystal entrainment exercise you can try any time!

Mother Earth provides medicine for all forms of healing, helping in many aspects of our overall well-being. Her medicines are strong and they heal our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Psychiatric Disorders such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and phobic conditions can be treated naturally just as any physical ailment or disorder can. Mother Earth’s medicine is amazing in that way.
