Becoming clear on the things in your lives that are driving your body towards negative stress and less joy is huge for healing.

You may know right away what your top stressors are. However, if you don't, you may have gotten used to living on auto-pilot and may not even recognize that you have any stress at all.

Getting in touch with what is creating negative stress and less joy is crucial for your healing so that you can consciously choose to change it.

Below is a guided intuitive meditation.  I suggest getting quiet with yourself to ask your body what your biggest stressors are and what you can do to bring more ease, peace and joy into these areas of your life. Or, if you need to let these stressors go, what is blocking you from doing so?

Questions to Ask Yourself

• What areas of my life are holding stress for me? 
• What can I do to bring more peace and ease to these stressful areas of my life?
• Do I need to let them go?
• Do I need to do something different?
• What is my body asking for in these situations or stressful areas?
• What area of my body am I holding this stress?
• How do I release these stressors from the tissues, organs of my body?

Join me in this Guided Healing Meditation to Connect with your Heart. 

In this guided meditation I take in on an intuitive journey to see what lies within your heart.   

I use this meditation when I need answers about making important decisions and to bring in new information into my consciousness to support positive change.    

So, if there are questions you need answers to, relationships you need healing with, set aside 24mins to connect with your heart.

Can Self-Love actually be enough to power intentional healing of the body?  

Most people think that love requires other people, but even self-love has the power to move mountains. Love really does have the power to heal us from the inside out. In fact, love has been proven to heal wounds at rapid paces. 

So, what exactly is Self-Love??? 

How can we know if we are truly loving ourselves unconditionally? 

This has taken me a lot of thought. 

When I was hard on myself and especially my body, my body internalized that self-judgement with chronic body wide pain. 

My body ached and burned for me to pay attention to it and love it just the way it was. It took me a lot of time to learn how to love myself. I think I am still mastering it and it may end up being my personal soul work in this life. 

Self-love has taught me that I am loving to myself when….. 

• I take the time to slow down in my life. When I allow for more flow and ease and give up the stress of trying to control situations. 
• Self-love to me has been the ability to look inward and ask myself questions while listening for my soul's answers. Listening to my intuition, my soul’s whispers have been my greatest ally. 
• Self-love has been revelling in the perfection that I truly am. Perfect right now. Every body part, every thought, every curve, every pound.
• Self-love is trusting my instincts and saying no when I need to rest or relax. This has not been easy for me. As an empath, I want to heal the world. Saying no has been an art for me. 
• Self-love has been about being kind and patient with myself and really accepting myself as a perfect creation of god/creator/spirit. 
• Self-love is about letting go of my judgements towards myself. I have learned that I am my worst critic. Quieting my inner critic with love and respect has been a vital part of my daily practice. It is sort of like brain gym for my negative Nancy. Correcting her behaviour when I notice her coming to visit. 
• Self-love is embracing my sensitivity. I tend to be a little emotional at times and can easily cry. Embracing this sensitivity has been so freeing for me. I have learned that showing my emotions in all situations has deepened my relationships with people and myself. 
• Self-love has been letting go of my past mistakes and forgiving myself. Thanking my soul for the knowledge and learning that came with it. After all, my biggest challenges have been my greatest teacher.  
• Self-love has been honouring my truth even when it is hard. Even when others disagree. I am still working on this one.  
• Self-love is about letting go of relationships and things that no longer align with my highest and best interest. 

It has also been about taking myself on dates, buying myself flowers and being my very best friend. It is about knowing that I deserve the best and giving myself permission to give that best to myself. I love to treat myself to the very best when I can. 

We can also lean into loving our partners/spouses/friends and even animal companions more. Making time for hugs and cuddles. Love of all kinds releases lovely hormones like dopamine and oxytocin. They relax the stress response and really make the body ripe for miracles. 

When we feel a lack of self-love, love and connection, we are more susceptible to imbalances in the body. Our bodies are so wise. The body shifts as our frequencies shift.

When we are out of cinq with love we can be more susceptible to...

• Chronic inflammation
• Immune system imbalances
• Elevated blood pressure
• Increased cortisol levels
• Pain
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Increased reactivity to stress

This is really because lack of love can activate our stress response. 

When we feel love in our hearts we….

• Have more flexibility
• Immune systems are balanced
• Pain is less
• Your Heart beats stronger
• Hormones are better balanced
• Feel happy 
• Sleep deeper
• Blood sugars are more stable. 
• Exercise more, and our blood chemistry physically changes

SELF LOVE 

For me, it has been about learning to say no, taking time for myself and really turning my attention to self-care. 

Self-love has been about being kind to myself and loving every curve and dimple on my body. It has been about being my biggest fan, and my very best friend. 

It has been about being patient with myself and knowing that there is a great timing for everything. 

It has also been about self-forgiveness and even permission to let out the parts of myself that are not all that pretty. 

Self-love has been my greatest healing journey. 

Do you practice self-love? 

I would love to hear about it.  Leave your comments below.

Numerous studies have proven the benefits of Positive aspects of regular meditation.

Few of them are,

• Lower blood pressure
• improved concentration
• decreased stress
• reduced anxiety and depression symptoms
• And many others also.

It has been proven that different types of meditation provide similar benefits in terms of physical or mental health. Senior Home Health Care Services is playing a vital role, keeping people mentally satisfied and relaxed with meditation.

1.  Better Focus and Concentration

Better focus on the present can be achieved by having mindfulness meditation which can also increase your concentration towards other daily life tasks.

A study was carried out by Harvard Medical School in 2011. They tried to find out the results of mindfulness meditation on your brain, and they were able to find a link between processing new information and mindfulness.

Positive results were achieved in which development in the brain's learning, memory & emotional regulation parts was found, and this research includes 17 people who had an eight-week meditation program.

2.  Strengthen Dignity and Cognizant

It is also found that discovering positive attributes of your personality and more profound self-reflection benefits or positive aspects of mindfulness meditation.

 Mindfulness helps increase self-awareness by increasing the ability to examine one's thoughts and feelings without judgment.

It can help the person having social anxiety, as per research at Stanford University. In Cognitive Psychotherapy Journal, a study was published in 2009, in which two months of meditation of 14 participants took place who was suffering from social anxiety. The results were terrific that improved self-esteem and decreased anxiety were reported after the program was completed.

3.  Reduce Stress

Cortisol can also be kept in control by mindfulness meditation. It is a stress hormone that keeps you in relaxation mode. 

Mindfulness meditation was an effective way to reduce stress in more than 200 studies back in 2013.

There is a meditation in which you keep on repeating sounds or words so that you can keep your self-focused which is known as Transcendental meditation, as a result of which you can achieve a level of stillness and stability.

 It was found that Support staff and teachers who were doing transcendental meditation could reduce their psychological distress in a study conducted in 2019.

To measure the participant's level of burnout, depression, and stress, researchers used stress scales. People who were doing meditation twice a day for 10-25 minutes over four months seven-step transcendental meditation course resulted in minimizing the stress and burnout.

4.  Manage Anxiety or Depression

You will be less likely to use your head on anxious thoughts that will increase your stress, and it can be controlled by having mindfulness meditation.

Jama Internal Medicine reported in 2014 that anxiety and depression could be controlled by mindful meditation, and it can be used for the treatment of mental illness.

The same study reported positive effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy, which integrates the meditation of mindfulness. Using this therapy, a person can reduce the issues or problems like not having a night of proper sleep, less appetite, a bad mood, and calm their mind and other aspects of depression.

5.  Fight Addiction 

By having this meditation, a patient can control the brain's receptors linked with alcohol addiction & drug addiction to reduce the craving of these things. 

"That awareness is compelling because it can allow us to ride the urge or the craving… without getting overcome by it," Davidson says. "We can notice the urge, notice that it's there, but we don't have to give in to it."

It was discovered that mindfulness meditation could help prevent future relapse in patients with substance use disorder, as it generates therapeutic effects that help the brain regulate pleasure experiences.

6.  Control Pain

Doctors also say that mindful meditation is part of the extensive pain management plan. As a result of a study across 60 trials and more than 6500 participants, it was declared in 2020 that pain reduction was found in people who suffered from acute, post-surgical, and chronic pain.

7.  Boost Up Your Kindness and Loving Nature

Circuits that promote altruism decrease unexpressed or unconscious bias responsible for prolonging harms stereotypical, enhancing emotions of people get strengthen through behavior loving-kindness meditation.

To initiate a meditation of loving-kindness, you think of a loved one and wish them happiness. You can know to share this happiness with other people also.

You can use a simple phrase that you silently repeat to yourself, like 'may you enjoy happiness' as you hold that person in your mind. 

In a nutshell, Mental and physical health can have many benefits from meditation. If any person is willing to improve their focus, deal with depression, addiction, or chronic pain should experience it, and it is dead sure that they will have positive results.

This is something I have been doing for many years and I feel that it has been a huge factor in my development and nourishing of my healing abilities, along with the maintenance of my own health.

What I am referring to is Meditating with a Tree. 

You know that feeling when you go for a walk or spend time in a forest; how relaxed and balanced you feel during and after.

That is because you are taking in some of the healing energies available to you.  So, what if you took the time to place your hands on a healthy tree and allowed yourself to feel the energy that it wants to share with you on an even deeper level?

This is what I do.  More specifically, I ask if the tree has a message for me, if it has a healing for me and if it has anything it wants to share with me.

You see trees have spirits too, they are alive, and they communicate through frequency.  Once you attune to the frequency you can understand their language. But that is for another conversation. 

If you want to increase your life force, as in help your body be and feel healthier, heal faster from illnesses and injuries, become more adaptable to stress, increase your intuition and simple become more resilient I recommend doing this simple of act of Meditating with a Tree.

The act of Meditating with Trees has a long history and there are many great people throughout history that proclaimed they gained healing power and enlightenment via meditating with a tree.

Two specific people are Buddha and Jesus Christ. 

How I Meditate with a TREE 

The way I meditate with a tree is I look for a strong healthy tree somewhere where I will not be disturbed (this can even be in your own yard).  I stand in front of it placing my hands on the trunk in a comfortable location with my eyes closed.  I breath naturally and allow myself to feel the energy of the tree. 

The more you do this the more sensitive you become to the subtle energy of the tree. 

If you have never done this before I recommend using the same tree daily to develop a relationship with it.  You will be amazed that overtime you will feel the love from that tree before you even touch it because it will be projecting to you when you are close by and even from further distances. 

To help deepen your relationship with the tree ask it questions like the ones I wrote above.  Along with asking it, “is there anything I can do for you?”  Trees love it when you give back to them.  This can be as simple of projecting love to them or visualizing them healthy. 

If you are hearing for the first time, it might sound strange.  But, think about it, you have nothing to lose.  If anything, you have much to gain. 

I’d love to hear from you.  Let me know if you have ever meditated with a tree and what your experience was like?

Your immune system protects you from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins (chemicals produced by microbes). It's made up of different organs, cells, and proteins that work together.

There are two main parts of the immune system:

• Innate immune system, which you are born with.

• Adaptive immune system, which you develop when your body is exposed to microbes or chemicals released by microbes.

These two immune systems work together.

Your Innate Immune System

This is your rapid response system. It patrols your body and is the first to respond when it finds an invader. Your innate immune system is inherited and is active from the moment you're born. When this system recognizes an invader, it goes into action immediately. The cells of this immune system surround and engulf the invader. The invader is killed inside the immune system cells. These cells are called phagocytes.

The Acquired Immune System

The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, produces cells (antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after your body has been exposed to the invader. The antibodies stay in your body. It can take several days for antibodies to develop. But after the first exposure, your immune system will recognize the invader and defend against it. The acquired immune system changes throughout your life. 

To have and maintain a healthy immune system the following 7 building blocks are essential.

Fresh Air - Fresh air reinforces your immune system.  It helps you fend off malady all the more viably because of more beneficial white platelets. It supplies your immune system with the oxygen it needs to dissolve and destroy microbes, infections and germs.  

Those who get outside and breathe fresh clean air on a regular basis have been shown to have stronger immune systems than those who stay indoors. This means less illness overall, as your body has an easier time fighting off germs before they invade and take over.

Good food – Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables because they are high in antioxidants.  Antioxidants that are particularly good are glutathione, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC).

These cellular antioxidants help your body ward off infection when you are exposed to a virus. And if you do get the flu or a cold, studies have shown that by having an abundance of antioxidants available, you can significantly reduce the duration and severity of symptoms and the length (days) of the illness.

Clean water - Water promotes adaptive immune response by working to get rid of toxic foreign invaders from the body through your kidneys. It prevents toxin build-up which, in turn, boosts immune function.

A simple way to rid toxins from your body, is with lemon water.

Lemon Water: Lemon squeezed in water is a good source of Vitamin C. It not only adds a citrus flavor to the drink but also:

• Boosts the function of your immune system.

• Fights bacteria, viruses, and fungi that cause cold, flu, and infection

• Keeps foreign substances away your cells.

• Helps prevent diseases

• Aids in digestion

• Promotes detoxification

Exercise – Regular and moderate exercise, 30mins per day helps to fight infection.  Exercise can also boost your body's feel-good chemicals and help you sleep better. Both of those are good for your immune system.

Sunlight - Researchers at Georgetown University (US), have found that sunlight energizes the T-cells that play a central role in human immunity. 

The role of your T cells include killing infected host cells, activating other immune cells, producing cytokines and regulating your immune response.

Happiness - Research has shown that being happier may help keep your immune system strong.

This may help reduce your risk of developing colds and chest infections.

One study in over 300 healthy people looked at the risk of developing a cold after individuals were given a common cold virus via nasal drops.

The least happy people were almost three times as likely to develop the common cold compared to their happier counterparts.  Read study

Good Sleep - During sleep, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines, some of which help promote sleep. Certain cytokines need to increase when you have an infection or inflammation, or when you're under stress.

Sleep deprivation may decrease production of these protective cytokines. In addition, infection-fighting antibodies and cells are reduced during periods when you don't get enough sleep.

So, your body needs sleep to fight infectious diseases.

How much sleep do you need to bolster your immune system?

The optimal amount of sleep for most adults is seven to eight hours of good sleep each night. Teenagers need nine to 10 hours of sleep. School-aged children may need 10 or more hours of sleep.

But more sleep isn't always better. For adults, sleeping more than nine to 10 hours a night may result in a poor quality of sleep, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Out of the list of 7 Building Blocks are there any that you need to improve on?

If so, begin taking action today to create a stronger and healthier immune system for yourself, so you can thrive.

Out of the building blocks there is several you can incorporate together.  For example exercising outside in fresh out in the sunlight.

I want to share my perspective of Covid-19 after doing an Intuitive Reading on it.

You may know that I read energy to find the root cause of a health problems.  I scan a person’s body to understand why the person is having a specific symptom or experiencing an illness.

Many times, the cause of health issues are not just physical, but have mental, emotional and even spiritual components to them.

I don’t know why I didn’t think about this earlier, but I decided to connect with the energy of Covid-19 virus to understand why some people are being affected by it so much.

The intuitive answers I received were people that are weak are getting it bad.  Particularly people with weak hearts and cardiovascular system along with inflamed liver.

But here’s an interesting part (or at least I thought it was interesting).  These organs are out of balance due to specific emotions being stuck in them then affecting the heart and liver from functioning properly. 

In the heart there is sadness and the liver there is anger.

Negative emotions being stuck in organs is well understood in Eastern and other forms holistic medicine.  When you deal with the emotions it frees up the circulation in the organ, so the immune system of the body repairs the organ. 

What this is ultimately telling me is that these people that are either dying from Covid-19 or being severely affected by it have unresolved stress and trauma stored in their bodies.  Resulting in the immune systems not working properly when they contract Covid-19.

Therefore, the solution to my findings is process those trapped negative emotions and nourish the heart and liver. 

Another interesting side-note.  High doses of Vitamin C have been used in some severe cases of Covid 19 to help them recover.

Vitamin C inhibits oxidation of LDL-protein, thereby reducing atherosclerosis.

I dug deeper into my intuitive finding of Covid-19 and found that the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine has emerging evidence linking acute and chronic lung inflammation to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

To sum this up, it appears that poor cardiovascular health, particularly hardening of arteries / atherosclerosis is a major factor for people that are being strongly affected.

Ultimately, I believe in order for a person to be as healthy as possible they need to invest into their health.  That means taking care of your body, exercising, eating well, educating yourself about health and lower your stress level. 

In saying all of this, I’m going to be adding special attention to all people’s hearts, cardiovascular systems and livers, along with boosting immunity, healing powers and lowering stress to all the Healings during Covid-19.

Firstly, I want to mention that as soon as Keri and I found out we were exposed to suspected Covid-19 cases, we went into self-isolation.  5 days later it was confirmed that the people we were exposed to tested positive.

We were lucky that the doctor that exposed us reached out to let us know, so we could begin taking the precautions.   

During our 14-day family isolation, I realized even more how grateful I am to have such an amazing intuitive knowledgeable wife (Keri). 

Before our exposure we began stocking up on specific immune boosting supplements in case we needed them.  Plus, we already had several high-quality essential oils in our house, which are also great for supporting immunity. 

Keri has over 20yrs of training and education in natural medicine, which include a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practitioner in Functional Medicine and studying to be a Dr. of Natural Medicine. So she knew the what we needed to be taking, plus therapeutic doses we needed.

I learned how efficient my immune system is.  Out of all 4 of us (Keri and my 2 daughters) I had the least of the symptoms.  We were all taking the same supplements and essential oils, but the main difference with me is I do specific energy healing techniques daily that boost my ability to heal faster and clear stress. 

I learned that I have a very supportive community both online and in person.  We had many people praying for us, along with buying us groceries and checking in on us daily to make sure we were ok. 

Thank you, if you were one of those people. 

Lastly, what I learned is I would like to move onto a big piece of property to be able to still go outside, get fresh air, sunshine and connect with nature during times like this because it is really important for my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. 

How about you, I know your situation is different than mine.  Is there anything that you’ve learned about yourself during this Covid-19 pandemic?

I'd love to hear. Comment below.

My family and I were exposed to Covid-19 on March 24.  First of all I want to let you know we are all doing good.  

We have all experienced some minor symptoms that have come and gone like sore throat, mild coughing, loss of sense of smell temporary and headaches.  Thankfully no breathing troubles or fevers.

I know we will overcome this because we have strong immune systems from eating well and we are taking specific supplements and essential oils that are supporting are immunity during this time.

One thing Keri and I made sure to do when we first heard about Covid-19 was to make sure we had the supplements and essential oils in our house we needed in case we did get exposed.  

Another thing I do everyday is to make sure that I am connecting with the energy of unconditional love everyday. 

Unconditional love boosts immunity, promotes healing and clears stress.  Something that is very important with all the fear and scarcity right now. 

Information is power my friend and I want to let you know that Keri (my wife) and I are sharing everything we are doing in specific details and why we are doing it to optimize our health during Covid-19 and our recent exposure.
