Introductory EFT Workshop

Tuesday, April 19th 7pm

Join us this evening as Wendy Branchfield explains and demonstrates Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) principles in a group setting.

EFT is often referred to as a Needless Acupuncture  or Energy Psychology.  EFT utilizes light tapping with the fingertips on Chinese Medicine Qi (Chi) points on the face and body while an EFT Practitioner skillfully cues into the issue at hand using specific verbiage.  EFT is a non-invasive way to release trauma from the body, mind and energetic systems.

When any trauma occurs, it gets downloaded by the brain and body while we are in the FIGHT or FLIGHT mode and is therefore unable to be processed properly.  The trauma is then frozen within our energetic system, as a coping mechanism, and becomes a piece of our IDENTITY and ultimately the nature of our subconscious belief systems.  It is these subconscious belief systems that predicate the actions we take and what we manifest in our daily lives.  The key to changing those belief systems and subsequent actions is to release the underlying trauma.  

Please RSVP to this workshop as seats are limited.

Rooibos Tea to the Rescue!

by Teavana tea...

A great article and reference for Springtime Allergies...

 

During Spring does your nose turn a permanent color of pink from sneezing and rubbing of tissues? Are your eyes so red that friends ask if your pool is open? And does your head feel like an explosion is imminent? Allergy sufferers often have a love/hate relationship with Spring as aggravating allergens and irritants seem to accompany every beautiful blossom. 

 

 

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, let us introduce you to 

Rooibos teas

 

Rooibos, sometimes called "red tea," comes from a bush in South Africa. Rooibos is a delicious herbal tea full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. More importantly, it also contains two bioflavonoids-Rutin and Quercetin-that can be almost magical for allergy sufferers. 

 

Bioflavonoids and Allergies

Bioflavonoids, Rutin and Quercetin, interfere with your body's histamine which causes the stuffiness and stomach issues associated with allergies (for a more scientific discussion, see this article). If you suffer from food allergies and/or the more traditional respiratory allergies, consuming these particular bioflavonoids can help reduce inflammation and allergy symptoms. Rooibos teas provide a natural source of these bioflavonoids. Rooibos teas are also caffeine-free. You can drink them from morning right up until bedtime to assist with relief from a stuffy, runny nose or even stomach nausea.
