This wellness challenge comes at the perfect time for spring cleaning. As you use up your petroleum based and chemical household cleaners, start switching to green cleaning products. The chemicals in standard cleaning products get into your skin when you touch them and into your lungs when you breathe them in. They can irritate your eyes, skin and lungs. If they can’t be removed by your organs of elimination,...
If you limit or don’t use artificial sweeteners, you’ve already got this challenge nailed. Just post your comment on the blog here so we can give you a cheer (and your name goes in the prize hat). Do tell us if and how you sweeten your drinks instead. For you artificial sweetener users, listen up. To meet this weeks challenge, I’m asking you to stop adding artificial sweeteners to...
Do you ever feel like this? You know what you need to do to take care of your health. You may even be an expert at preaching it. But you find it’s a lot harder to actually do it. I know I’m far from alone when it comes to this disconnect between what we know and what we do instead. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Well, I don’t know about...
If all I ever got out of EFT was dumping years of emotional garbage, it would have been well worth it. For me, that was HUGE!Releasing all that anger, resentment and unforgiveness revealed the calmer, kinder person hiding beneath that hard outer shell. I didn’t even know she was there! But this type of work with EFT is just the tip of the iceberg. In the last few years,...
We ‘tappers’ know that EFT works. And as silly as it sounds, we’ve seen it work for a wide variety of issues, so many that some professionals poo-poo it because they think such a claim can’t be true. It’s been hailed as a pain reliever, performance enhancer, trauma buster, and health improver. Now, thanks to the efforts of Dawson Church, author of Genie in Your Genes and other researchers,...
How often have you heard someone or yourself say, “I’m an alcoholic, I’m diabetic, I’m obese, I’m disabled. I”m depressed.” These are just some examples of the way we identify with a health condition. But, you say, it’s true, I am _____. Are you really? Is that WHO you are? Is that the truth you want to affirm about yourself? Or is it just part of what you are...
We’ve all been taught to expect that healing takes time. Not only does it take time, but depending on your condition it takes a prescribed amount of time. For the most part, it appears this is true. We expect a cold to last for a week or two. Broken bones are in a cast for a set amount of time. So imagine my surprise when my son Sean...
In this day of medical specialties for just about every organ, system, part, and disease, it’s easy to see how we’ve fallen for the belief that we’re a collection of parts that need to be treated separately. The mechanistic model is the basis for the medical system we have today. You use drugs or surgery to suppress or remove symptoms from an affected part. This may work great for...
This is the seventh in our series of ten limiting wellness beliefs. To read the entire series, subscribe here. “It’s God’s will” was one of my favorite sayings whenever my life was going wrong. Of course, it is possible that my misfortune was an act of fate or divine will. (Funny how I never said “It’s God’s will” when things were going great.) As I was growing up, I...
(subscribe to this series) Many of us have ‘deserving’ issues that show up in a lot of ways. You may feel unworthy, not good enough, or undeserving. This belief shows up in all areas of life: relationships, finances, love, health, happiness, you name it. Chances are if you feel that way in one area of your life, it’s spilling over into others. This limiting belief may be tied to...
