Great video describing how energy healing and modern physical medicine combined and helped a young girl to regain her health!

People sometimes have the idea that whenever I talk to them or see them I am automatically reading them.

Well, fortunately for both sides,  it just doesn’t work that way. When I am socializing with friends I am only socializing. I won’t say that I don’t pick up bits and pieces about people because I do. They are only bits and pieces though, and if I am trying to relax and have conversations with friends I really don’t have time to pay attention to them. It also takes work for me to do a reading. I have to prepare, clear my energy and really focus on the reading. I have to tune out all other people and noises. That is not something that you can do while you are visiting and talking.

In fact I actually try to shut off my abilities when I am not working. If I were to walk around totally open and picking up everyone else’s “stuff” I would very quickly go insane.

Just like anyone else, I need to leave my work life at work. If I were a mechanic, I wouldn’t want to fix your car every time we got together. If I were a hairdresser, I wouldn’t want to do your hair every time I saw you, and if I were a chef, I wouldn’t come over and cook for you every night.

Even if I were able to manage the constant barrage of other people’s energy, I would be betraying my own ethics as a professional. It is just not acceptable to use a psychic gift to try to find out personal things about everyone you meet.

So, no… I am not reading you, and remember……. psychics are people too!

In my acupuncture practice I often need to work on peoples arms and legs, backs and abdomens.

It’s funny how often people apologize to me for their unshaved legs, their stretch marks or their flabby tummies.  I know that I do the same thing when I go for any kind of body work.

I am writing this to let everyone know that, at least from my perspective, every body is beautiful; hairy, bald, skinny, fat, freckled, scarred or stretch-marked.

When I am working on you I am looking at your whole body as a beautiful creation that needs some balancing and nudging to bring itself back to health. I am fascinated that every persons anatomy is just a wee bit different. We are all so completely unique.

I am intrigued to hear about the journey your body has taken to get where it is today. I am doing my best to listen to your story and pick out the little hints that show me where your body needs an acupuncture point. If that point is on a hairy leg, I am not looking at the stubble, I am looking for that little flash of light I see when an acupuncture point lights up. I am waiting for that flash of light to surge along the meridian as I insert the point. As I see the flashes of energy coming to life I am sending my strong intentions that your body will respond to what I am doing and bring its attention to the changes we are trying to make together.

So please don’t feel the need to apologize to me if your body is not a perfectly chiseled work of art. To me it is a unique and amazing thing to behold and I am grateful for all opportunities to be able to work with you.

Professor Jane Plant is a wife, a mother, and widely respected scientist.  At the age of 42 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After all treatments failed she started doing her own research.

You may be surprised at what she found out.

I would never suggest using “Dr. Google” for any serious health issue, but this is some info that certainly can’t hurt you and it might just be the best thing to know to help yourself.

Here is an excerpt…

“I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for myself. I am a scientist -  surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK?

I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of the country’s most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing death.”

Great article from the Globe and Mail this past weekend. Are we finally going to learn that we have to slow down and rethink our crazy lifestyles?

Remember when some of us were kids and we saw those futuristic videos (oops, I guess they were filmstrips) claiming that by the year 2000 we would all be lounging around enjoying the good life? Things haven’t quite turned out that way, and the way we are stressing ourselves out is very harmful to our health. Here is an excerpt and link so you can check out the info for yourselves….

“People complain about how overwhelming their lives are, but they don’t connect it in a biological sense with the problems they experience: eating too much, not sleeping well, not being physically active,” says Bruce McEwen, a neuroscientist at New York’s Rockefeller University who is considered the godfather of stress research.

Across the country, people are experiencing increasing levels of stress, Siri Agrell writes in Saturday’s Globe and Mail. And chronic stress has been linked to a wide range of health concerns, including Alzheimer’s, depression, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. In Canada, hypertension is the No. 1 reason people go to the doctor, and last year accounted for almost 20.7 million medical appointments. “
