You and your health

Do you know your true self? Are you following your dreams or feel that you’ve got hurdles at every turn that continually blocks you from your passions? Do you feel stressed, depressed, unhappy most of your days? The attached video I provided below sums up information that I try to convey to my clients and friends in order to help balance ones state of being. There are many toxic indicators that can come about based on the decisions we make on a daily basis. If we don’t understand who we are as an individual sometimes it makes it hard to know what we like or want in our lives. The exploration of self is important for our well-being. I’ve been following my inner passions the last few years and it has been an eye opening experience. I found that the by-product of this experience is fulfillment. I give my children the same advice in hopes that I save them several decades of damage to their minds, bodies and spirits.

What do you know about cancer?

Many of us at one time or another knew someone who has or had cancer. This word sparks fear and desperation into the hearts of the afflicted along with the friends and family connected to them. We also hear about the people who try alternative methods which cleanses the cancer from their bodies. There are very few people who understand what cancer is or how to treat it. Many of us realize that the mismanagement of our body can bring about diseases such as diabetes, cardio vascular issues, etc. and in some cases we change our life style to reverse these issues.

We come from a history of people that we followed to get us to the times we’re currently in today. If we trace back our steps a generation or two, we learn that our body has inherent abilities when cared for altering our state of disease to a state of balance. The video “The Truth About Cancer” provided below has informative information from the perspectives of medical and alternative doctors about cancer.

Recently a Canadian scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton found evidence at the cellular level that massage blunts muscle pain in a similar way to anti-inflammatory pills. Below is a CBC news article I found  providing research on how massage aids in muscle healing.

Energy Medicine

Educating yourself is important when sustaining health and well-being of your body, mind and spirit. I believe that information must be disseminated to ensure this. I came across an article while doing a search on the internet for “Energy Medicine” and it lead me to Opra Winfrey’s website. I was very impressed with the article as it provides an overall description of what Energy Medicine is. My blog on “What Is Energy Medicine?” provides more insight on energy healing from a practitioners stand point.

The “Energy Medicine” article touches on: what energy is, energy fields, Energy meridians, various energetic modialities such as QiGong, Tai Chi, Reiki, Acupuncture and more. Provided below are snip-its of the article to tantilize your taste buds. For the full article please refer to the source link I provided at the end of this blog.

What is energy medicine?

liver_meridian

What is energy medicine? First I would like to give you a basic understanding of what energy is. Energy is what many call vitality or life force. Some of the more common names which are now being used within our culture for “life force” are Prana, Qi or Reiki. Energy medicine is based on the premise that all physical objects for example our body and psychological processes such as our thoughts; emotions, beliefs and attitudes are expressions of energy.

For there to be harmony or balance in the body it needs to occur on two levels, the physical and in the energetic body which surrounds and permeates our being. For example when blood flows through our arteries and veins it is in the state of homeostasis or balance. If there is plaque buildup within an artery this is referred to as a blockage disrupting the natural flow of the blood. This can also be said about the flow of energy, which can become blocked causing stagnation and eventually result in disease within an organ or gland. Disruptive changes like this can stream throughout your energetic super highway system wreaking havoc internally and externally to your body.
