ARTArticleChronic Illness—I Just Want Someone to Tell Me How to Fix ItI was at a party recently where I was telling someone about my book. Not everyone is enamored with the concept of self-healing and taking full responsibility for your healing journey.
In this case, the woman I was speaking with said out loud what I believe a lot of us really want but don’t admit. She candidly admitted, “I don’t really want to figure it for myself. I want someone to tell me what is wrong and how to fix it.”ARTArticleCommon Causes and Treatments for Hypopigmentation: White Spots on SkinWhen skin is damaged by UV exposure two conditions can occur: hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation. The first, hyperpigmentation, is the occurance of dark “sunspots” that form as the body produces melanocytes that absorb the UV radiation and prevent it from causing damage to the deeper layers of skin. Hypopigmentation occurs after a trauma to the skin, and yes, overexposure to sun counts as a trauma. Excess UV causes tiny “scars” on the skin, and those patches lose the ability to produce melanin, and the visible effect is white spots on the skin.ARTArticleCrush It! How to Make a Living Doing What You LoveSometimes when I ask my clients "If money weren't an issue, what would you do with your time?" they answer that they don't know or that they would sit on a beach all day. I think those responses are understandable, but I'm also pretty sure that they do know, and it's not sitting on a beach all day.ARTArticleDeep Sleep & WellnessDeep Sleep is essential for Total Wellness:
The process of sleep places a very high demand on our energy reserves. So much work must be accomplished while we sleep: innumerable cells must be replaced or repaired, the immune system must be balanced, hormones must be balanced and emotional distress must be resolved and integrated.
To accomplish all of this work we must have several ingredients that dictate our ability to achieve and maintain peaceful sleep.
1.We need sleep rituals to trigger the cascade of events that initiate sleep.ARTArticleDiet Drinks and weight lossIf you were to ask 1,000 people why they drink diet soda and other drinks with artificial sweeteners, I expect the vast majority (if not all) would tell you it’s because they are "watching their weight" and these products have no calories.ARTArticleDiscover the Healing Powers of Your MindDiscover the Healing Powers of Your Mindr
By Rod Kelly, BCH
You’ve just left the doctor’s office and a wave of dread sweeps over you. You never thought it would ever happen to you, and yet it has. A million thoughts swirl in your mind, and none of them are pleasant. The harder you try to think rationally, the more negative clutter you draw into your thought. Frantically you try to grasp a single positive thought, only to have it dashed away by countless thoughts and feelings of despair.ARTArticleDiscover The Natural Healing Gift of Negative IonsTo date, I haven’t met anyone that has told me they can see them, taste them or smell negative ions. Yet, in nature, they are there all around us.
Visit the ocean and you are in the company of negative ions. Visit the mountains, splash around in a stream, or take a walk in the woods and you’ll be breathing in negative ions.
How do you know when you are in the presence of negative ions? You feel better. You relax and you feel more at ease with yourself and with life. That’s because negative ions increase the levels of serotonin in your body.ARTArticleDiscovering Your Inutition for Self-HealingSomeone recently asked me, “As an intuitive, how do you make decisions about what medical or healing care to receive? When I’m not feeling well or I’ve had an injury, I just go to the doctor. How do you figure out what to do?”
No one had ever asked me that question. I really had to think about it. I made an agreement with Spirit many years ago that I would continue to strengthen my sound healing gift for the service of others. In return I expected that when I needed healing or medical help it would be obvious to me and the right help would be there at the right time.ARTArticleDo Supplements have different absorption & bioavailability? YES!Absorption & Bioavailability of Supplements:
Not all Supplements are made the same!! their absorption or Bioavailability range from 5% up to 90%. Use supplements that are Natural, standardized and most importantly Patented, Proven Clinically,Published, Predictable and Priced resonable.ARTArticleDon't Worry. I Got This.I recently wrote about the power of your story in anticipation of meeting 12 women for The Power of Your Story event I was hosting. All of the women were truly amazing and I would love to write about each one of them. Today, with her permission, I will tell the story of one of them.ARTArticleEat Your Garnish! – The Value of What It Is That We Are NOT EatingAmong Nutritional experts, there is a lot of emphasis placed upon what we are consuming versus what we ought to avoid in order to maintain a healthy regime. What about consideration for what it is that we are NOT consuming that may in fact have a great deal of nutritional value? What I am referring to are things on our plates that we might not normally consider eating; what we commonly know to be ‘garnish’. Most people don’t realize that garnish functions as more than just decoration. In fact, garnishes quite appropriately accompany most meals.ARTArticleEliminating the Internal Complaint DepartmentA while back my husband and I were in a class where we were asked to spend a day keeping a tally of how often we complained. I thought I was a pretty positive person so this exercise would be pretty easy to do. Oh my gosh, was I surprised to discover how often I was thinking complaining thoughts, though I wasn’t expressing them. I was complaining all right, just not out loud.
We were also asked to notice our patterns of thoughts. Did we tend to complain about other friends, co-workers, politics, our bodies, our helplessness, injustice, past abuses, lovers, etc.?ARTArticleEveryone Has a BodyEveryone has a body.
Many people are terrified when their body starts to act up. As life has become more complicated in the last one hundred years, we have gotten further and further away from being in touch with our bodies. We have made doctors the high priests of the temples of our bodies thinking they can help us be in touch with what is going on inside ourselves.rARTArticleExercising HopeHope is not just some ephemeral emotion. Nor is it the abstract one-size-fits-all concept put to work in poetry and political campaigns. It’s actually a deeply felt neurochemical stance that our minds take toward our current circumstances—a stance that alters our outlooks and our actions, as well as the life paths that unfold before us.ARTArticleFACIAL FITNESS SYSTEMS SKIN CARE LINEFacial Fitness Systems Medscience is an innovative Anti-Aging and Corrective Skin Care solution that offers esthetic professionals and our clients cutting edge scientific ingredients that are remarkably powerful and effective.

There wasn’t anything terribly wrong with my marriage, but there wasn’t anything terribly right about it either. I married safe. I married stability. I married to avoid repeating my mother’s mistakes. (Sound familiar?)
I took a good look at my ex-husband. There wasn’t anything terribly wrong with him either.ARTArticleFear of Inheriting or Being Exposed to Disease: How to Find Courage and The Best Healer Within.ARTArticleFind the Right Fuel: Food, Acid Reflux, and IBSSo you've read my previous article about which foods are most likely to cause or aggravate your symptoms of acid reflux and IBS. You know the mechanics of your body's engine, your digestive system. And you know there are things you can do to take an active role in how your engine works. But maybe you're still having a hard time taking that first step.
It's true that changing our habits isn't easy. It may even seem like an impossible task at first.ARTArticleFinding PeacePeace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there. - Byron Katie
I love Byron Katie. I really do. I had a read a ton of literature on happiness – from academic studies to the Dalai Lama - and nothing helped me let go of my stressful thoughts like her simple process called “the Work.“
Earlier this year I had a pretty challenging phone conversation with my father. He wants his grandson vaccinated, but my husband and I have decided not to vaccinate our son.ARTArticleFor Effective Weight Loss, Step Away from the Scales!A number of years ago every morning, the first thing that I would do when I got out of bed was jump on the scales to see if I’d had effective weight loss, if it had stood still or if I’d actually gained weight!
Always slightly nervous of the result that I would see...
Sometimes the scales would say that I had lost a couple of pounds, which would make me feel great for the rest of the day.
More often than not I’d treat myself that day to some form of baked goods to reward myself for doing so well…but that’s a whole other (<a href="http://www.stephricefitness.com/index.php/2010/04/how-tARTArticleFresh vs Processed FoodIn some societies people go to their local markets and shop for fresh food each and every day. This is unfortunately not the case for most of us in North America. Many foods are only available in season and people often live too far from farmers markets to shop for food on a daily basis.
We live a busy life and people often don’t find time to sit down for a proper meal, let alone prepare it.ARTArticleFrom Chaos to ClarityOne of my coaching clients is struggling with clutter. And although I don't advertise it as a service, I actually love to declutter and organize.
So I offered to help her—and started the conversation by stating that I wouldn't try to compel her to give up anything she didn't want to let go. At the same time, I did share with her the thoughts that I will share with you now.
You imbue everything you own with a certain kind of energy. Things that are loved, used and appreciated have strong, vital energies. Clutter, which is anything unwanted, unloved, or unused, can diminish your energy.rARTArticleGeorge Steinbrenner and What You Need To Know About Preventing Heart Attacks and Blood ClotsWe just heard the news of George Steinbrenner dyeing of a heart attack at 80 years of age. Where it is a sad event and occurrence, it seems that Mr. Steinbrenner has been dealing with health issues for the past few years, highlighted by the fact that he put his sons in charge of daily operations of the Yankee’s organization back in 1997.
Have you ever scratched your head after hearing about someone who seems to be the picture of health; fit, exercises and eats right…but then fall victim to a heart attack?ARTArticleGPS Watches Help Monitor Five Areas While TrainingGPS watches help individuals monitor several things at the push of a button. GPS watches can help an individuals monitor speed, distance, pace and calories burned while training.rARTArticleHeadaches? Don't Sleep Late On Sunday!If you think a taste of chocolate, a glass of wine, and sleeping late on weekends are harmless vices, think again. Those innocent indulgences are just a few of the most common triggers of headaches.
But don't give up hope just yet. It's possible you may be able to enjoy your favorite things and headache-free days. There's more to the problem headache story than just a list of culprits. Coming up is must-know information that will help you get a grip on headaches once and for all. It starts with taking the time to look at your own particular condition, type of headache, and family history.ARTArticleHealth and the Power of Right NowHave you ever considered making a change you knew would probably positively and significantly improve your health, and then chose not to do it?
I know I have. Those are moments that became regrets. Those are the illnesses I suffered longer than necessary because I was ignoring the discomfort, hoping it would go away because I was too busy to deal with it. Even though I know better, I actually did that with a headache today.
My head hurt and I took something for it that usually helps immediately. Nothing happened.ARTArticleHealth Challenges Aren't Meant to Limit UsHave you seen the movie, The Snow Walker? I know I don’t usually recommend films, but this one that I watched for the first time the other night, is worth telling you about if you are seriously dedicated to your self-healing.
Now, I’m not going to give away the plot, but I am going to tell you that it is not a film about physical healing. However, it gives you a lot to consider when it comes to understanding what overwhelming challenges do for your spiritual and emotional evolution.ARTArticleHealthy Eating: Throw OUT the DietsI'm excited about my new way of looking at eating. I've decided to totally eliminate the concept of "bad" foods. I refuse to feel guilty if and when I splurge. And so far I've resisted the impulse to buy every tabloid that highlights a new fad diet modeled by a svelte, bikini-clad starlet.
I didn't always have such a healthy attitude toward food, though. I admit, at some point in my life, I may have made some of these familiar statements:
- "I'm on a diet and shouldn't have any treats. Eating during the holidays is like navigating landmines."rARTArticleHealthy Eating: Use Your IntuitionWho said you must lose weight to be healthy? They were dead wrong. It's time to realize that you must get healthy in order to lose weight, not the reverse. The diet mentality doesn't work, often using recommendations that are boring, restrictive, and unsatisfying, if not downright unhealthy. And chances are, if you've been on diets before, you've lost and regained the same amount of weight over and over.ARTArticleHeart Rate Monitor Training For A MarathonUsing a heart rate monitor is a valuable tool in training particularly if you are training for a marathon. The key area of fitness you will be developing while training for a marathon is endurance. This can be challenging because the athlete has to slow things down from their normal faster pace to effectively develop aerobically. This means running with your heart rate rather then trying to be the fastest in your training group. Whether your goal is to run a fast marathon or finish, using a heart rate monitor is a key to smarter training.r
