New Journeys in Healing with Energy Medicine

Energy Medicine

The body is innately designed to seek well­ness.  When­ever an imbal­ance occurs in our lives, the body will work tire­lessly to make it right.  These imbal­ances can be unhealthy eat­ing pat­terns, an ignored stress in our lives or an unful­filled dream.  Regard­less of whether they are phys­i­cal or emo­tional, the body will cre­ate sit­u­a­tions to bring our atten­tion to these needs we are try­ing to ignore.

Often these nudges from our body come in the form of ill­ness or weight gain.  They can also come in the form of emo­tional imbal­ances like depres­sion or uncon­trol­lable anger.   One of my favorite alter­na­tive heal­ers is Louise Hay (you might know of her from Hay House Pro­duc­tions).  Many years ago, before the pop­u­lar­ity of alter­na­tive heal­ing, Louise Hay was teach­ing about the con­nec­tion between ill­ness and emo­tional imbal­ances in our life.

As a healer I have often looked for ways of cre­at­ing bal­ance in these

An Ounce of Prevention

running

There has been a lot of talk about health cov­er­age in the media lately. When we talk about health­care we think of the med­ical sys­tem we use when we are sick.  I think this is mis­lead­ing.  In real­ity, if we want true Health­care we need to think in terms of pre­ven­tion.  If we go through life out of bal­ance, the nat­ural con­clu­sion is ill­ness, not health.

The irony is that we all know what we need in order to be healthy and in bal­ance but we sel­dom make the time.  Exer­cise, whole foods, fresh water and sleep are the four things that cre­ate health and bal­ance naturally.

So, the ques­tion becomes why do we ignore these sim­ple and acces­si­ble solu­tions?  The cost of each of them, in many cases, is only time and effort.  In our cul­ture, I believe, that is the key issue.  While it should be a

Eat For Life by Harvey Diamond

Eat For Life by Harvey Diamond

So here’s the truth.  I pro­mote a non-dieting approach to weight loss.  I firmly believe that los­ing weight will hap­pen nat­u­rally under the right con­di­tions.  When the body, mind, and spirit are bal­anced the body will main­tain health.  I was first intro­duced to some of these con­cepts after read­ing Fit for Life by Mar­i­lyn and Har­vey Dia­mond. After read­ing that book, I made some small changes to how I was eat­ing but not what I was eat­ing. The result was I nat­u­rally began to lose weight.

Now Har­vey Dia­mond has a new book out called Eat For Life. Dia­mond talks about get­ting off the diet merry-go-round to start los­ing weight nat­u­rally.  I was enam­ored with his style 15 years ago and still am today.  This is a no-nonsense book that uses his con­ver­sa­tional tone to share his ideas with you.

There is a two-pronged approach dis­cussed in his book. The first

Raw Food Made Easy by Jennifer Cornbleet

Raw Food Made Easy by Jennifer Cornbleet

Lately I have been inter­ested in the ben­e­fits of raw foods.  They are great for help­ing to main­tain a nat­ural weight.  Raw food is touted for mak­ing the skin look amaz­ing, which frankly as I get older, becomes more of a con­cern to me.

You may have heard me men­tion that I lost 70 pounds sev­eral years ago with­out diet­ing. One of the things I did was increase my raw foods sig­nif­i­cantly.  I did what I found out later was crowd­ing out.  I ate so many raw and high water con­tent foods that if I did eat less health pro­mot­ing foods, their effect was negligible.

Since I have been think­ing about raw foods and research­ing what it entails I was happy to find a great primer.  Raw Food Made Easy by Jen­nifer Corn­bleet is an easy way to start includ­ing more raw foods into your diet whether you are con­sid­er­ing a

Breast Cancer Cures

curelauncher

About 20 years ago, my mother was diag­nosed with stage 1 breast can­cer. At the time I was away at col­lege and to say that I was scared for her is an under­state­ment.  I wasn’t with her to ask ques­tions or get answers quickly.  To make it harder, back then find­ing infor­ma­tion on breast can­cer was dif­fi­cult.  The inter­net was barely in exis­tence and few even knew how to access it. You had to rely on the infor­ma­tion you could get from your doctors.

Now with all of the advances in tech­nol­ogy, let alone med­i­cine, we can get any infor­ma­tion we need at the tips of our fin­gers.  Remem­ber­ing how scared and con­fused I was for my mother, I always try to keep up-to-date on new improve­ments in breast cancer cures.

Recently I came across an inter­est­ing and inno­v­a­tive new site called cureLauncher.com.  They fund state-of-the-art can­cer research. This site is ground-breaking

Weight Loss Mistake #4: Cravings

sweet cravings

Any one who has ever tried to lose weight by diet­ing has come up against crav­ings.  Often times we are told to just not eat the food our body is demand­ing.  The prob­lem with this think­ing is, in real­ity, crav­ings are bril­liant sig­nals from our body.

This per­cep­tion that crav­ings are a fail­ure to stick to our diets is inac­cu­rate.  We think, “If only we had the willpower to over­come our weak­ness we could be thin.” When we look at what crav­ings do for our body, we real­ize they are our body’s means of telling us what it needs.  When we under­stand what these sig­nals are for, we are able to make choices that sup­port our health and weight loss.

What are Cravings…Really?

You might be won­der­ing about now, how crav­ings could be sig­nals from our body.  Think of it this way.  Our body has cer­tain needs and tries to get
