Dragon Stone - South African Crystal

I was in the store the other day purchasing crystals for my Beginning Crystal's Workshop, when I came across this stone called South African Dragon Stone. This stone is not that attractive however it was calling me. When I looked up the meaning, here is what it said:

"Dragon Stone is a newly discovered green and red Jasper from South Africa. Fire energy; Protective stone, used for wealth, long life, brings intellect to new heights, protects the fields of the physical, emotional and mental bodies."  It has been said that the best way of breaking an old habit is to introduce a new one. Well no secret there why this stone was calling me. Some other useful information about this stone: "Emotionally, Dragon Stones helps one develop self-confidence, a stronger will, an open expression of feeling and affection, a willingness to help others for the greater good, and the persistence required to make real and effective change.

Physically, it seems to aid endurance, and to inspire one to work hard to be well. This includes diet and exercise regimes for getting in shape. It also feels to me that it can aid those who are working to repattern one's cellular habits for regeneration and rejuvenation, all the way down to the DNA. The twisting, snakelike DNA molecule is, after all, something of a Dragon itself!

Spiritually, Dragon Stone can inspire one to place one's self-serving tendencies into service of the well-being of the world. Yet it does not make one into a weak rule-follower. Rather, it encourages fierceness and loyalty to what seems in one's heart to be the Good, and it teaches one to protect and defend that Good with a power and strength one may never have known one even had! A dragon is not a domesticated animal. It is a wild, sentient journeyer among many realms––an excellent ally and a worthy opponent. To carry Dragon Stone is to invite such qualities into oneself."

Gemstone and crystal healing has been around for ages. Their energies are some of the best healers.

Sugar Addiction

Most people are addicted to sugar and don't know it. For me, I think it is the hardest thing to give up. Sugar is in almost everything. "The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals."  One of the reasons people get sick is that the foods they are eating are not immune boosting foods. "One of sugar's major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system."A lot of people complain about loss of calcium in the bones. A possible culprit could be sugar. "Sugar interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium." Aside from diabetes, sugar can cause other diseases and illnesses such as osteoporosis, food allergies, headaches and depression to name a few.

Holiday Eating

I always looked forward to holiday eating. Food everywhere. So much so, you could not even see the table. The big ole turkey alone took up half the table. Then there were all of the side dishes and tasty desserts. Yum!! Over the years my holiday eating has changed as did my eating habits. Since I no longer eat meat, my table got smaller. Now that I am a conscious eater, in addition to the lack of turkey, there a few menu items missing from the shopping list. I've added more vegetables and less simple carbohydrates to our table during the holidays. Eating during the holidays should be fun, not stressful about what to eat that's healthy. A few ideas to healthy eating are:

• Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed
• Be careful with beverages. Alcohol can lessen inhibitions and induce overeating; non-alcoholic beverages can be full of calories and sugar.
•  Preparing favorite dishes lower in fat and calories will help promote healthy holiday eating.
• Refrigerate the gravy to harden fat. Skim the fat off. This will save a whopping 56 gm of fat per cup.
• Dressing — Use a little less bread and add more onions, garlic, celery, and vegetables. Add fruits such as cranberries or apples. Moisten or flavor with low fat low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and applesauce.
• Mashed Potato — Use skim milk, chicken broth, garlic or garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese instead of whole milk and butter.

There are more however this should get you started. Happy holidays!!

Milk Does the Body Good??

"Milk does the body good."  Remember that slogan? As a kid I drank milk by the gallons. It got worse after I became an athlete in high school and college. Milk was always promoted as THEE source of calcium, for strong teeth and bones, in addition of other vitamins. So naturally when I conceived my daughter, I drank more.

In high school and college, I suffered some terrible menstrual cycles. Never attributed to milk to be the cause of them. While I was pregnant, I experienced the same excruciating pain. I wasn't sure where the pain was coming from this time as I had not received my cycle yet. I continued to drink milk and eat other dairy products.

So now comes the birth of my daughter and the nurses try and feed her cow based formulas. My poor baby blew up like a balloon and turned red. After much trial and error and many formulas later, they came to the conclusion that my daughter was allergic to cow's milk. They put her on a goat's milk based formula.

 That seemed to work for her but what about me? Not thinking that milk and dairy was a problem for me, I continued to drink it. The cramping and bloating seemed to be getting worse but it wasn't from my cycle. I stopped drinking milk but continued with the ice cream. Eventually I stopped dairy all together as I could not with stand anymore of the pain. I ventured over to soy milk however I don't think I agreed with that either. So what was a gal to do? I had heard of the side effects of dairy. Some were:

• *ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.
• Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem).
• Pathogens & Bacteria

I had to look into other forms of calcium. I had heard about rice milk, almond milk and coconut milk. Coconut milk has many benefits. "This natural drink is usually recommended for maintaining electrolyte balance and can also be used in case of dehydration. Some recent studies have suggested that coconut milk has hyperlipidemic balancing qualities, antimicrobial properties in the gastrointestinal tract or by topical application, and it has been used as a home remedy for healing mouth ulcers." To my surprise I actually like the almond milk. "Almond milk is a milky drink made from ground almonds. Unlike animal milk, almond milk contains no cholesterol or lactose. Regular, unsweetened almond milk can be used as a substitute for animal milk in many recipes, and as it does not contain any animal products, is suitable for vegetarians and vegans."



I am a proud promoter of cleanses and detoxing the body. When you remove everything from your diet and then slowly reintroduce the foods, you will see what your body does not like.

Hematite Gemstone

Hematite is one of my favorite gemstones to use for healing. It's focus is on clearing and building. It is a very grounding stone and looks much like a solid piece of mercury. Hematite helps remove emotional pain and can balance mood swings to assist you in broadening your perspectives. Dissolves negativity and prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others. It works on the root chakra and heals issues of the blood. Hematite stimulates iron absorption in the small intestine, which in turn improves oxygen supply to the body. It has the fire element and is associated with Saturn and is a stone of Aries and Aquarius, but is assigned to Scorpio, whom it not only protects but also warns of danger by changing temperature.

Unexpected Spice

Coriander, commonly used in Indian curry, is a spice most would not have suspected as being a healing herb. "The leaves of coriander are a stimulant and tonic. They strengthen the stomach and promote its action, relieve flatulence, increase secretion and discharge of urine and reduce fever. They act as an aphrodisiac, help in the removal of catarrhal matter and phlegm from the bronchial tubes thereby counteracting any spasmodic disorders." The leaves are called Cilantro and have also been used in some spicy dishes.

Coriander has been used to treat urinary tract infections and strengthen the urinary tract. The cilantro leaves are also antimicrobial and anti-bacterial. "Used in aromatherapy use, coriander has the ability to help in the healing of digestive problems (such as flatulence, indigestion and constipation), to eliminate toxins, stimulate circulation, ease migraine and treat rheumatism and arthritis."

Your kitchen can become your best choice in first aid.

Acid Build up

I often speak with people who suffer from acid reflux or indigestion or some form of acidosis. "Acid reflux is the term used when the acid in your stomach backs up or ‘refluxes’ into the esophagus where it doesn’t belong. Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease or GERD for short is acid reflux that occurs regularly. Reflux by itself isn't unusual. GERD on the other hand, develops when acid reflux happens two or more times a week and produces troublesome symptoms. If left untreated, GERD may

lead to some serious health problems. Only your doctor can tell you if you have GERD." Many people turn to antacids to relieve some of the pain and acid build up. Studies have shown antacids can make your health worse. Antacids can contain some harmful ingredients that wreak havoc on the body. "These salts interfere with the absorption of phosphates. This can lead to constipation, loss of appetite, weakness, and bone damage. Aluminum salts can aggravate patients with Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease, those who are dehydrated, and those with certain bone disorders." Below are a few of the ingredients listed in antacids:

• Calcium Carbonate – May cause constipation or if over used may actually increase acid reflux instead of reducing it.
• Magnesium Hydroxide and Magnesium Oxide – Can cause diarrhea. Don’t take it if you have kidney problems.
• Bismuth Salts – May cause Encephalopathy, a disease of the brain commonly called dementia.

Don't want to use these harmful chemicals? There are several ways to treat acid reflux, heartburn and other digestion issues, naturally.

• Changing your diet to a  more alkaline diet
• Eating several hours earlier before going to bed
• Eating relaxed, not driving or running out of the door
• Aloe vera has been used to treat stomach upset, diarrhea and inflammation associated with bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis.
• Licorice is believed to be effective in treating stomach and intestinal ulcers, reducing stomach acid levels, coating the stomach wall with a protective gel and relieving constipation.
•  Drinking peppermint also helps soothe an upset stomach

Hands that heal

 

I have never comfortable with the title "healer". I feel like it makes me sound like Mother Theresa or Jesus. The title "healer" to me has always felt like some select or elite group of people with healing abilities and that God selected only these people. I wouldn't have put myself in that category.

When I started this spiritual journey, I had no idea where it would take me. I was merely looking for alternative ways to keep myself off of the meds for this thing they call depression. At that time I wasn't thinking of hands on healing, not as it related to me being a hands on healer. My earliest memory of using my hands to heal was eighteen years ago when I unconsciously laid my hands on my stomach and I conceived a child that night. Whenever my stomach was unsettling, I would place my hands on it and the pain would magically disappear.

As I continued my journey in the healing arts, my mind and spirit started changing. Aside from my mind having one of its own, my body was also doing some strange things. I woke up one morning in the wee hours to a burning sensation on my leg. I looked to examine the area and it was bright red. Now I am a pretty dark skinned woman, and to see red anywhere on me was saying something. I glanced down at my leg and there was a red hand print. I then glanced at my hand and it too was red. I didn't know what to think of this. I had seen on tv where they had documented a guy who they called a healer in his country. They were documenting him because it was stated that his hands would heat up to such a degree that his clients would need protective gear on to cover them. The heat from his hands was measured and proved to be above normal hand temperatures. Could my hands be like this I thought?

I have since studied several modalities on hands on healing to find there are people around the world who use their hands to heal. I am now certified as a Karuna and Usui Reiki Master and Instructor. In addition to those hands on healing modalities, I also do spirit led body work.

Walking with Focus

Each morning I get up and do a walking meditation. I learned of it through a book I read on... well... walking meditations. I can't figure out for the life of me, the name of that book but it was great. When I looked it up to tell you about it, I found that there are many books on walking meditations. So apparently this is not a new concept. Only new to me. The purpose of a walking meditation is to be present. Focus on the moment. Notice everything. Hear everything. Smell everything. I had lived in this neighborhood for almost eight years and never noticed that there was a stream over by the side of the road. You can't see the stream but as I began to focus on my walking meditation, I could hear it which drew my attention to look for it. It was as if I had walked that path for the first time. This path seems different now. It's fall and the colors on the trees never have been so beautiful. The birds are cheerfully chirping and my strides are longer. During this focused walk of mine, I can hear everything so clearly. My vision is impeccable. This always seems to happen when I began a new style of meditation... or perhaps just when I began meditating at all. There are many benefits to this walking meditation. The walking alone provides the much needed exercise, fresh air to my lungs and sunshine to my face which provides the vitamin D. What a lovely way to start the day.

Overcharged

 A few years ago my daughter got a new ipod for her birthday. Excited, she tossed the old ipod in the dock and left it there. Still in the dock for several months now, the ipod exploded. It had reached its capacity and had no outlet to release the energy that had built up inside and just exploded.

I use this analogy to our children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and an overly charged battery. "ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood. It affects about 3 - 5% of school aged children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls. Depression, lack of sleep, learning disabilities, tic disorders, and behavior problems may be confused with, or appear with, ADHD." Most children are born with an incredible amount of energy that when they are finally able to release it, it can be over whelming. Children with this amount of energy will release it in many ways, just to let it out. Society talks about humans being spiritual being living a human existence however human beings aren't being treated like spiritual beings. The first sign of behavior that is NOT considered "normal", is then looked at for treatment with medication. There are many factors a child may have that can contribute to an overly charged behavior.  "Every child suspected of having ADHD should be carefully examined by a doctor to rule out possible other conditions or reasons for the behavior. Medication may be necessary in some cases, with the addition of holistic remedies and alternative healing methods, but its not necessary for all. Just as there are many factors that can contribute to an overly charged behavior, there are just as many holistic remedies that can be offered.

A well balanced diet can help dramatically. Removing processed and refined foods, junk food, caffeine and sugary foods can alleviate the aggressiveness in the mind, body and spirit. Herbs have also shown to be beneficial in people with mental health disorders. Ginkgo Biloba has been used for brain function and concentration. Chamomile is a great tea and has been used for anxiety and nervousness. Essential oils are a great way to catch a little one on the go without all of the fuss. Fragrances of pure essential oils can go along way.  Lavender is an excellent oil to calm the mind's chatter. A combination of holistic healing methods would benefit any spiritual being not just the ones with an overly charged spirit.

An herbal wonder

I am a creature of habit. The only foods that I ate, were the foods I was familiar with and I was not familiar with garlic. Sure I ate it if it was already in my food but I never chose to cook with it. Now that I have transitioned over to the vegetarian side, I have expanded my palette. I am quite fond of garlic especially in my basil and garlic spaghetti with garlic bread. Yum. But now there is even more to be excited about garlic. "It's been considered by many to be a herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague!" Some of the health benefits of garlic are:

• Garlic has 1% of the potency of penicillin and can ward off a number of bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli, Cryptococcal meningitis, Candida albican and Staphylococcus.
• Garlic can lower blood pressure a little
• Garlic may help to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body. 
• Garlic helps to prevent blood clots from forming

Garlic has also been used in some religious and spiritual practices. "In some Buddhist traditions, garlic - along with the other five "pungent spices" - is understood to stimulate sexual and aggressive drives to the detriment of meditation practice.  In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection. Herbs aren't just for eating anymore. Do you know what  your favorite herb does?

A Hairy Situation

I've had a chemical relaxer since I was a kid. In fact, my mom was a hair stylist and I probably had every new chemical relaxer or product that came out back in those days. I am surprised that I had the head of hair that I had. As I got older, I started doing my own hair. Putting in my own chemical relaxers and hair dyes. I just knew then I would be bald for sure!

When you embark on your spiritual journey, your life changes. You never know where life will bring you. In 2006 I stated that I was going to cut off all my hair and let it grow out naturally without any chemicals. WOW!! I don't know where that came from since I had grown particularly fond of my long hair. My hair had grown to lengths I had never seen before and now I was going to cut it all off? I wasn't sure why I was making such a bold move but I knew a change was in the wind.
I had already cut off all of my hair when I started diving deeper into holistic nutrition, diseases and health. I learned that skin was the largest organ of the human body and that everything that you put on to the skin gets absorbed into the blood stream and filters through the body. Then it dawned on me the relatively dangerous effects that the chemicals I was using could have on my skin and scalp. We put a tremendous amount of chemicals on our scalp. "Chemical processing over time is fatal for all types of hair. The consistent 6 week process that is done over and over again is crucial over time and results to unhealthy hair. Throughout the years as many women complained about gradual hair loss, excessive shedding, unexplained breakage, and stunting hair growth."

Aside from the chemical relaxer, there are a number of chemicals people use everyday in the hair and body care products that are harmful.

• Isopropyl Alcohol: Isopropyl alcohol is found in hair color rinses, body rubs, hand lotions, after-shave lotions, fragrances and many other cosmetics. This petroleum-derived substance is also used in antifreeze and as a solvent in shellac.
• Fragrances: Fragrance is present in most deodorants, shampoos, sunscreens, skin care, body care and baby care products. Many of the compounds in fragrances are carcinogenic or otherwise toxic. "Fragrance on a label can indicate the presence of up to 4,000 separate ingredients. Most or all of them are synthetic.
• MIT is a chemical that contributes to cancer, liver disorders and neurological diseases.

AS a holistic health practitioner, I create chemical free products for my NUBODI customers. All products are made using organic ingredients, fresh herbs and a 100% pure essential oils.

Shooo flu....don't bother me!!

Are you ready for the flu season? I am. Bring it on!! I was in the pharmacy store getting a couple of bottles of water, when the cashier says "We have flu shots available, would you like to get one?" I said "oh no thank you." She went on to say how prepared I needed to be for the winter season and blah blah blah. So what you are telling me, is because I said no to your flu shot, that makes me not prepared? Let me see if I am understanding her correctly. To prevent myself from catching the flu, she wants me to get injected WITH the flu? The very thought of someone giving me the very thing I am trying to avoid getting is strange to me. She continued on and again I said no thank you. This lady was relentless with this flu shot thing. OMG! So, I finally said to her "sweety, I am a holistic health practitioner, I will NEVER get the flu shot. But thanks for asking." I politely gave her my card and existed the building before she continued.

One of the reasons why most people get sick during the winter months is because they hibernate. As it gets colder, people tend to stay in doors more and not get much sunshine. "People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis in the skin. A human requires ten to fifteen minutes of sun exposure at least twice a week on the face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen with a greater than 3 UV index for adequate amounts of vitamin D_3.It is an immune system regulator. It may be an important way to arm the immune system against disorders like the common cold, say scientists from the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston."

Another reason why people get sick during the winter months is because they are less active. "Exercising and being active can help protect you from heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, back pain, osteoporosis, and help manage stress." By not being active for those months, you can weaken the immune system. "A breakdown in any part of the system leaves the whole body susceptible to infection and illness." There are many ways to boost the immune system during these months. "The immune system is precisely that — a system, not a single entity. To function well, it requires balance and harmony."

• Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in saturated fat.
• Exercise regularly.
• Get adequate sleep
• Take herbs such as Echinacea, Ginseng, and vitamins to boost the immune system

While there are some controversy as to whether or not herbs and vitamins actually help, the fact that remains is that it won't hurt. Doing all that you can to prevent the onset of a cold or any disease is the best method. A combination of eating healthy foods, excercise and a positive outlook on life goes a long way.

Vitamin E.. friend or foe?

There has been a lot of talk lately about vitamin E and that there are dangers to using it. I was looking for a base recipe for my new lip butter called Escentual Lips. Most of the base recipes I found contain the ingredient vitamin e. I didn't have any in stock so I went out to my local store to purchase some, not my usual supplier. Vitamin E has a tremendous amount of healing properties so I wasn't surprised to see it listed in so many of the recipes. "Vitamin E is an antioxidant that plays a key role in DNA repair, immune function, and other physiological processes."

However when I went to the store, to my surprise the label said some other ingredients that were included in my vitamin e. Hmmmm that's strange. I had read that store bought vitamin E contained more than just vitamin E but I had always used other ingredients that contained the vitamin so I wasn't really investigating it until now. Vitamin E can be found in many foods, however taking more than what is required can be dangerous. "Vitamin E is actually a collective term for eight naturally occurring compounds, four tocopherols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-) and four tocotrienols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-). Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol are higher in wheat germ oil, almond and sunflower oil; gamma-tocopherol is the major form of vitamin E in corn oil and soybean oil; levels of tocotrienols are high in rice bran, barley, oats and palm oil." It is important to know what your products contain. Read the labels. Be label savvy. You never know when the product you are using may contain ingredients that you are actually allergic to.

NUBODI products are made with ingredients that already contain a high level of vitamin e such as olive oil, almond oil, grape seed oil, flax seed oil, and coconut oil just to name a few. All of the ingredients that go into NUBODI products are organic and free of dyes, chemcials and artifical colorings.

Pearly whites

I've been using flouride toothpaste since my teeth grew in. Even more so, I've been using whitening tooth paste since I got my braces off.  I really don't think that they are any whiter now then they were before I had the braces on but thats another blog. Back in the day, if you didn't have flouride toothpaste, you weren't cleaning your teeth. There was no such thing as whitening toothpaste. But now, every brand of toothpaste contains some form of whitening and flouride. I am however ashame to say that I don't floss regularly like I should. I get my teeth cleaned twice a year and floss only after the dentist is has yelled at me the entire visit, then it tapers off.

The truth is, oral hygien is important. "Brushing without flossing is like cleaning only 65% of your body." When you only brush once a day, you allow the food and to harden and cause plaque and tartar build up. "Flossing removes the tiny trapped food particles and also the plaque trapped between the teeth which a tooth brush cannot reach." Did you know that bad oral hygien can lead to gum disease which can ultimately lead to other serious illnesses? "Recent studies have indicated flossing reduces the risk of heart attack."

People have used flouride toothpaste for years. Even the dentist gives flouride treatments. The fact is, flouride is a poison. It even says on the label of the toothpaste that you should not ingest, which can cause gastric problems. In addition, flouride toothpaste has now been linked to allergic reactions and peridontal disease. "Fluoride confuses the immune system and causes it to attack the body's own tissues, and increases the tumor growth rate in cancer prone individuals." So how is one to clean their teeth? There are many brands of toothpaste on the market that do not contain flouride. Using natural products to not only clean the teeth but also to clean the body is becoming more and more essential. The more chemicals you put on and in your body, the greater your chances are for disease and illness. By flossing two to three times a day, you can also lessen your chances of bacteria and plaque build up. Baking soda and lemon has been used in the past, and now, to not only clean the teeth but also to whiten. Choose products that are made with natural ingredients. Ingredients that you can eat. If you can't eat them, don't put them on your body.

How would your oral hygien practices stand up?

A diet by any other name

Everytime I go inot the book store, I am bombarded with diet books. Everyone and their granny has a diet book out. Even celebrities are coming out with fitness books or a new diet book. The word diet means a particular selection of food. The way that you eat. However, the way that the word has been thrown around lately, you would think it was a new designer handbag or something that everyone MUST have. The fact is, there ARE different ways to eat healthy.

• Macrobiotic diet: "a dietary regimen which involves eating grains as a staple food supplemented with other foodstuffs such as local vegetables avoiding the use of highly processed or refined foods and most animal products.
• Raw food diet: "is the practice of consuming uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet."
• Vegetarian diet: "encompasses the practice of following plant-based diets (fruits, vegetables, etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products or eggs, and with the exclusion of meat (red meat, poultry, and seafood)."

Even within the vegetarian diet, there are different levels to the diet that people follow. There are many other diets and ways to eat. It's not that they are all wrong, they just may not be right for you. Just because diet worked for someone does not mean it will work for you.

I skimmed this book by a particular celebrity, now turned vegan and she had a wonderful story. However, the recipes called for ingredients that my local grocers did not carry. I would have to drive clear across to Virginia just to see if the store carried it and then drive back. Even if they did carry the ingredient, by the time I got home, I would be too tired to cook anything.

Many of the people I have met say they want to change their eating habits but don't know how or where to start. With all of the books and information out there on diets, it could get confusing and discouraging when you don't know where to begin. That is where a holistic health and wellness coach and nutrition consultant comes in. A holistic nutrition consultant educates you on the diet that would best benefit your nutritional needs. While the holistic health and wellness coach, will coach you along your journey to achieve the goals you have set. Starting this journey can be scary and therefore making it easy to put it off or quit when discouraged. Having someone there who knows nutrition and how to motivate you into action, makes it easier.

Holistic health care & the economy

The economy is rough right now. Everyone seems to be feeling the crunch. One day the market is up and the next day it is down. Our financial institutions are going to come crumbling down one day. Even though things are bad and times are rough, people are still spending. Spending unnecessarily and frivolously but spending nonetheless. But very few are spending on their health. So many people were in an uproar about the health care reform, saying this and saying that but what are people REALLY doing for their health on their own?

Getting clients for me, means I am constantly in people's faces trying to convince them that holistic health is the way to go. The main gripe that I get from people is that it cost too much to eat healthy. Well for a family of four at a fast food place, it will cost over $25. However, that $25 could buy frozen fruit to make smoothies for the family in the morning. The other chief complaint was that they didn't have the time to incorporate the things they needed to live a healthier life. Jane is an emotional shopper. She buys shoes, handbags and clothes more than three times a month to make her feel better. Instead of shopping that often, Jane could have a Reiki session to help her understand why she shops when she is emotional and to help her deal with that emotion.

Imet a potential client at Starbucks.  I had their fabulous green tea with zero calories, zero sugar, that cost me $1.50 for any size I wanted. She had a venti vanilla latte with 2% milk @ 320 calories and 43 grams of sugar. My potential client gulped down her vanilla latte as she proceeded to tell me why she could not "go alternative" right now.

There are plenty of life style changes that one can make that will not break the bank. Living an holistic life style is a proces and a journey. Start small. Instead of coffee in the morning, try herbal tea. Don't have time during the day, try waking up a half hour ealier to run, walk or meditate before starting the day. You can work with a holistic health and wellness coach or a nutrition consultation to help you prioritize and organize your life to incorporate healthier choices and adjustments.

Calming Crystal Healing

I went to the Nature and Healing Expo the other day. I had one thing on my mind. To buy this wonderful crystal. I had no idea why or even what it was called. I knew I had to get it. I remember last year, I was drawn to this table that had them. I kept going back and picking it up. I wanted to buy it but I had a list and a budget that I was working from. So, I left my crystal behind.

This year, I was getting my crystal. I could have gotten it before hand but didn't remember and the urge wasn't as strong. The crystal is called Celestite. It's a beautiful light blue. It's a cluster (not the egg that you see here) and the crystals in it remind me of the cave that Superman went to when he went to talk to his parents. I purchased my crystal, brought it home, cleaned it and sat it in the window sill to get some sunlight. The next day I woke up very agitated. Kind of antsy. Not real sure why. So I picked up my crystal and instantly felt calmed. I sat there for a few minutes with my crystal in hand and felt so relaxed.

I wasn't sure why I needed to buy this crystal. I felt antsy and disconnected for a few days but I thought it was because of the new opportunities I was embarking on. I looked up the meaning of my new crystal and found the meaning to resonate with a few things I was going through. "Celestite clears left brain chatter so you can connect with your Higher Guidance." Well, there you have it folks. That is why spirit had guided me to this crystal. My brain has been chit chattin away for some time now that I felt unfocused. Haven't been meditating. Yeah I know, shame on me. When I am not focused, spirit and I cannot connect. Good job spirit for getting us back together. Celestite has calming effects that relaxes and empties your mind, for rest, meditation, or when you need a break from mental concentration." That was me. I love sitting with this crystal early in the morning when everyone else is asleep. Just me, a cup of tea and my celestite crystal before getting my day started.

Crystals heal on so many levels. It only takes a few minutes a day to enjoy the benefits that crystals provide. Want a crystal healing or a consultation to see which crystals are right for you?

Angry Food

I used to manage a program in a high school. There I did talks on eating healthy to teen parents and to a group of my own students. Before I began talking to the students about healthy eating choices, I observed their behavior for quite some time which was one of the reasons that prompted me to do the talks. I saw a disturbing pattern. I noticed every morning the students would run to the convenient store on the corner or McDonald's or both!! They would come in the school with blue juices, red juices, candy, chips, soda and of course shoveling in their breakfast from McDonald's which concerned me.

I had gone to a seminar called "Healing Mental Health Disorders Without Drugs" and the theme of the seminar was diet and nutrition. The seminar was given by a Dr. Charles Gant, who stated that a poor diet can affect behavior. A majority of the students at this school had either some behavioral issues or was classified as mentally disturbed. Most had very low reading levels as well. I knew that there was a correlation between the food that these students were eating, their behavior and their ability to concentrate. Fast food and junk food can be addictive. "Most fast-food meals are high in fat, high in sugar, high in calories, high in starch, high in salt, and low in fiber and nutrients. Because fast food lacks nutrients, after we eat it we’re not satisfied. That makes us hungry for more soon after."

Looking at the students I can tell they are dehydrated even after they have swallowed a 32 ounce Pepsi. They believe that because they are drinking soda, that it will hydrate their body. When I gave my talks, I educated my students on making healthier choices. Most of them responded well. They saw what I ate and knew that I was speaking from example. However, a lot of students complained that the foods that they wanted to eat, was not being provided in the homes. Carry out and fast foods was their way of life. This posed a challenge. However I was up for the task. I showed the students how they could make small changes that would make a big difference. I told them that instead of buying soda, buy bottled water. If they could purchase nothing else, water was going to be their best purchase. The next thing I suggested was fruit. Oh I got a lot of Angry Birds on that one. I told them that fruits and vegetables would help them concentrate more and make them less agitated or aggravated. Some students seemed to be okay with that but I can tell I was in for a fight with the vegetables.

When I told the students that I was an athlete and now personal trainer, that seemed to get sum attention. Most of the athletic students had questions that stemmed from "how can I have more energy to why am I always tired?" Those questions were easy to answer. Change your diet. It sounds easy but when it comes to students who are not buying their own foods, it may seem like moving a mountain. Process foods and junk food are quick and easy and in some cases cheap.  "Processed foods are foods that have been compromised by the addition of hormones, additives, preservatives, unnatural genetic material or other chemical or heat treatments that alter or destroy the natural healthy enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals." These can and have posed several health issues. Everyone should be educated on the what the fast food industry is doing. While they may have made food convenient, they have not made it healthy. 

As a holistic health and wellness coach, I provide education as well as coaching. There is nothing worse than being shown what to do but not an understanding of why you are doing it.

Skin Deep

I launched my Green Goddess parties... and I must say, they are doing quite well. "When it comes to skin, I've got you covered." Like that? That's my new Green Goddess tag line. LOL I thought it was cute and catchy.

Anyhoo, So I am people watching. I love doing that. And even though its getting pretty chilly out, ladies still have their shiny bare legs out. What that tells me is people are still using baby oil or petroleum based products. "Baby oil is 100% mineral oil. This coats the skin like clingfilm and disrupts the skin's immune barrier as well as inhibiting its ability to breathe and absorb moisture or nutrition. The inability to release toxins results in blocked pores, spots, acne & other skin disorders. Slows down skin function & cell development & therefore leads to premature ageing of skin." Vaseline is a petroleum based product included in many of the beauty products on the market today. However, "it destroys vitamins, may be carcinogenic and they clog the pores." 

Every morning like many women, I would get up and "beat my face" is what the gals are calling putting on makeup these day. For almost a year, I barely wore makeup. Even when I went out, I just put on something for my lips. I changed makeup recently. Trying to go as natural as I was going to allow myself to go and decided to buy mineral makeup from a particularly large makeup company. I even found issues with THEIR mineral make up. So I just started to wear only mascara and something on my lips. My favorite mascara contains lead in it!! Is anything safe anymore?? I always wondered why my eyes would itch. I would just blame it on the pollen.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. What you eat and drink directly affects the skin, what it looks like, texture and color. On occasion even body odor. What you put on your skin eventually enters the blood stream which can cause or contribute to illnesses such as asthma, eczema or other more life threatening diseases.

Today products are changing as more and more people are looking for healthier products. Everything now say ORGANIC but doesn't necessarily mean organic. Manufactures are banking (literally) on the fact that consumers do not read labels. Since the cosmetic industry is not regulated by the FDA, the only thing the product has to do is adhere to a few guidelines which are to list the ingredients of that product. For a product to say 100% organic, the label may contain only organic ingredients. Again, does not mean that is what the product contains. For products to claim organic on the label, "95% of the ingredients must be organically grown, and the remaining ones must come from non-organic ingredients that have been approved on the National List. These products can also display the USDA organic logo and/or the certifier's logo. " Lastly for a product to list "Made with organic ingredients, "Must be made with at least 70% organic ingredients, three of which must be listed on the package. The remaining 30% of non-organic ingredients must be approved on the National List. These products may display the certifier's logo but not the USDA organic logo."  Read carefully your product's label.

NUBODI Escentuals are handmade organic products. All of the base products come from reputable manufactures with not only the 100% organic stamped on their labels but also the FDA logo as well. You will not find any talc or aluminum in NUBODI deodorant. Talc "is a known carcinogen and a major cause of ovarian cancer when used in the genital area. It can also lodge in the lungs causing respiratory disorders." Aluminum "actually blocks your pores and has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease and breast cancer."
NUBODI shampoos and conditioners are free of Isopropyl myristate, Iso-propylmyristate (Alcohol), which "Derived from Petroleum or Polyethylene Glycol, which "strips skin's "Natural Moisture Factor", leaving the immune system vulnerable and is "commonly found in antifreeze and brake fluid; it is highly toxic, causing brain, liver & kidney abnormalities."

Are your products safe?

It's all in the label

No, I am not talking about Gucci or Prada but food labels. I see where your mind is... on shopping. Oh, maybe that was just me. I would love a Gucci bag but that is not the focus here. =)   I was in the grocery store, a rather large food chain grocery store, that has a "healthy SECTION". Not an isle or two but a section. Any way, I was looking for some healthy snacks and I saw some rice chips. Light, airy, no unsaturated oils and stuff. I said yes, this will work. I got the rice chips and a few other HEALHTY goodies and moved it along.

I crackes open those rice chips as soon as I got home. I started reading the back of the bag as I was crunching and munching and saw in the ingredients that my rice chips contain Red 40. Red 40... red 40... where have I seen that before? I could NOT think where I knew that ingredient from. Then it hit me. Red 40, or its other name FD & C Red 40, is a red power dye made from petroleum. It used to be manufactured out of coal tar but was later made from the petroleum. Alot of people are allergic to Red 40 and don't know it. Studies have shown links of Red 40 to ADHD and other mental health disorders. In other cases where the food clearly states on the front that it does not have preservatives, but on the back of the food label listed preservatives disguised by long vocabulary.

Now I was half way through the bag before I got this information. In my nutrition certification, we learned to read labels, look up words we did not know and then educate our clients on the importance of reading labels. Reading labels can prevent a lot of problems down the road. If you are on a caloric diet, reading labels before hand can tell you that the 20 ounce soda, of 180 calories that you just had, actually is doubled that. Most bottles are labeled based on per serving. The 20 ounce soda could be a serving and a half if not two servings per bottle. Most people have a smart phone where they can look up the ingredients right on the spot. Some manufactures try to fool you by using the full scientific name of the ingredient such as sodium bicarbonate, which is really just baking soda or using glucose, fructose and all of those other tose, which is another fancy name for sugar.

"You can read the Nutrition Facts label to determine the amounts of such nutrients as fat, sodium and fiber in specific products. Knowing this information can help you decide whether a food or beverage fits in to your eating plan or is appropriate if you have certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. It also enables you to compare similar products to see which one might be a healthier choice.
The more practice you get reading food labels, the better you can become in using them as a tool to plan your healthy, balanced diet."

Become label savvy and I don't mean Donna Karen label savvy.

Emotional Baggage

I received an email from one of the psychology organizations that I belong to regarding a course on how to help get rid of "Emotional Baggage." It got me to thinking about some emotional baggage I was carrying around several years ago and how I got rid of it.

Years ago, I was told I had to go to anger management if I wanted to keep my housing. Well since you put it that way, I guess I had no choice BUT to go. After a couple of sessions with the therapist, she says, I think you need Prozac and I want to refer you to a psychiatrist. HUH?? Where did that come from? On what basis do you have to recommend me to a shrink? There were no tests involved and the questions were vague at best for her to come to that conclusion. As I was thinking of my topic to blog about today, I saw on my time line that Deepak Chopra had tweeted about Michael Jackson's death. He said "the doctor's are the real pushers and cause for addiction." I thought.. WHOA. So I must be on track to discuss this. As I read more, he went on to say how doctors are so quick to prescribe something. Which brings me back to my point.

Emotional baggage does not always require drugs. Yes, I get that some people need to talk it out and perhaps get a better perspective on some things that happened in the past to move forward but still there are ways to do that without drugs. I told my therapist that I was good, and did not want the drugs. I continued my sessions with her for little while longer. However in retrospect, I was telling her the same things I was telling my girlfriends and wasn't getting anywhere with any of them. To me, talking about it and talking about it was just reliving the pain. She didn't give me any goals or things to move me forward. Just talking about the same things over again. I eventually worked through my issues on my own through holistic means. It was a lot harder for me on my own but an experience that I can write about. Through the use of herbs, prayer, meditation, essential oils, crystal healing and body work therapy such as Reiki, I was able to free myself of some limited beliefs, other people's assumptions that I had picked up a long the way and some other Gremlins that followed me through my life. I am not suggesting that holistic medicine is the cure all to end all, but it does help. You can use holistic medicine in conjunction with anything conventional that you are currently doing. Releasing emotional baggage is a process. It can take days, weeks, months or even years to get through some of the issues you have been carrying around for years. However, it can go a lot quicker using a holistic approach. For an issue that may have taken me years to get through using conventional methods, may have taken a year using ALL means available to me.

The Herbal Kingdom

People don't give the herbal kingdom nearly enough credit. "Traditional Chinese and Ayurveda herbal medicine are complete and thorough alternative medical systems developed more than 3000 and 5000 years ago. So why do so many people shy away from it when I suggest an herbal remedy to them? Herbs heal on so many levels. "The primary focus of holistic herbalism is to support the body's inherent healing capacity." There is so much to herbs that scientist have not even considered with regards to healing. By each herb having so many healing properties, a person can heal emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically, simultaneously. "The art of herbalism is not only in selecting the most effective herbs for the condition being treated but also in determining  how these herbs should best be prepared." While I am adverse in creating my own herbal blends, there are many proven remedies already created. As there are many herbal remedies, there are also as many methods in which a plant can be utilized. You can take an herb in a tincture form, capsule, tea, or ointment just to name a few. For example, the parts used in chamomile ar the flowers. The tea has been known to assist with minor digestive problems. Chamomile can also be found as an essential oil. The German Chamomile is a blue oil and used to assist with seeking spiritual guidance while the Roman Chamomile encourages calmness and stillness.

Out Finding Myself

"Sorry we have to break up, but I have go off and find myself." "This job isn't working for me, I think I need to go find myself." These are all statements we've heard before or know someone who has said it to us at some point. What does that REALLY mean? Are you lost? Of course you are. We all are or were at some point in our lives. Some of us choose to STAY lost and blame others for their miserable lives. Others enter into relationships knowing that they are lost, in hopes to find themselves through the means of the person they are with. Those are the ones that are so content in the world that they live in, that they are afraid to reach for the greatness that is within because of fear. Then you have those that know they are lost but want to be found. Like me.

Finding one's self means finding one's TRUE AUTHENTIC self. It requires honesty about where you are. It requires some work. I'll admit it is NOT always fun but I promise it is a rewarding experience. As you embark on that journey of self-realization, you start to see things differently. Seeing people... and the world differently. Like you took off a pair of rose colored glasses and can really SEE. The clarity in it all is brilliant.

I was at a conference and a man said to me, "Who ARE you?' I started spitting off my well rehearsed spiel of "I'm a holistic health practitioner, life coach, educator, jewelry designer, blah, blah, blah." He politely waited until I was finished and then said, "NO, that's what you DO... it's NOT who you are. WHO ARE YOU?" I looked at him like... HUH? I'm confused. I don't understand the question. A lot of the time we get caught up in the WHAT of what we do that we lose sight of the WHO in who we are. I had to sit with this for a minute. Actually it took me a long time for figure this one out. Through my own coaching with The Worth Coach, I was able to understand who I WAS and who I was becoming. Yes, a coach uses a coach. Finding a coach is just the beginning. Staying on the journey is a life time.

Life coaching is a general term used to encompass everything in life. Holistic Life Coaching is defined as coaching a person through their life in a holistic and natural way. Many people beginning their journey, just need a boost. Some assistance from a coach who can point them in a direction towards their greatness.

The Chicken or the Egg?

What comes first the chicken or the egg? I know we've all heard that one before. But it IS an interesting question. Anyhoo, I was baking brownies and I poured the batter into the bowl. I scraped what I could out and of course the rest was mine for the licking. As I was face deep in the bowl, I noticed on the box it said "Do not eat batter. Contains RAW eggs." O_o   Oops!!  I guess I should have seen that before I dove head first into the bowl.

When did eating raw eggs become a hazard? I can remember when my fellow athletes, not me of course, would down a couple of raw eggs for breakfast. So why all the hooplah now? Eggs provide a good source of protein. Has vitamins B, B12, A, D, E and K. Eggs also contain amino accides necessary for body metabolism.

The truth is, none of the food we eat now is like what it used to be say 40 years ago. So much is being done to our food that I wouldn't be surprised if the food just jumped up off of the plate and walked away.  All of our animals now are being pumped with steroids and hormones. The chickens  are the size of turkeys and the turkeys are the size of that little Smart Car that keeps stealing my parking spaces that I used to squeeze into. We have more trains, planes and automobiles than we used to that add to the pollution and contribute to the tainted rain water that fills our rivers and oceans. So now the soil is not even good enough to grow your own because that's tainted. Even the seeds that provide us with fruits and vegetables are being genetically produced. Is there nothing sacred anymore? If you are wondering why your 7 year old looks like a high schooler and why your high schooler looks like a 30 year, well... there is your answer.Food dyes, preservatives, artificial flavorings, processed foods, junkfoods.... everything will kill ya. So what do you do about it? You have to eat.

Cleanse. Herbal cleanses, fasting and detoxing your body regularly. Your body does what it can to eliminate toxins and wastes but you can do more to assist. Herbal cleanses flushes out toxins and heals and it cleans. Juice cleanses pick up the debris along the way, cleans you out and heals as well while providing vitamins and nutrients to the body." A detoxification program offers your body an opportunity for renewal on a cellular level." There are many ways to cleanse the body. It is important to cleanse the liver, kidneys, colon and bladder as often as possible as these are you eliminators. " Helping your body cleanse in gentle natural ways, prevents the build up of toxicity in your cells and organs and can dramatically improve your health and prevent dis-ease."
