Greetings!

This month I am spending time with lots of lymphatic systems, which often invites the question, "How can I enhance the health of my lymphatic and immune system?"   You can read on for details.

First though, please pause for a moment and simply take a couple of deep breaths.  Let your chest move, breathe deeply into your belly.

You did it- you have just taken a simple step to enhance the health of your lymphatic/immune system - all with a couple of deep breaths.

Then some fun; a great video from You Tube, Upcoming Classes, and thoughts on the nature of happiness.

A couple of other announcements this month.   Online scheduling is now available - you can link right from this newsletter or directly from the website.  Also, we now have the Ease Joy and Alchemy blog up and running, where full length articles can be published.  Lots of space for them there, so we don't have to overfill your inbox!

Read on for more, and a special offer in closing.

Many blessings,

So, this is a hardworking system in this day and age.  Our bodies are often overburdened with waste, environmental and food toxins as well as a constant onslaught of new super bugs that it needs to respond to.
 
There are a number of simple things that you can do to enhance how your lymphatic system works as it keeps you healthy.  Some suggestions  -click to read on-
Happiness is an Inside Job
I can only do it for myself and you for yourself

 We want so much to please one another.  We try so hard to make it right for each other, and the truth is, I can't actually make you happy.
 
Only you can do that.  How you are thinking, what you are expecting, all the voices in your head - these have a lot more to do about your happiness than what I actually do in relation to you.
 
It is a trap though, we so often ask others to behave in ways that make us think that we will feel better.  I know I do this.  Yet is it your responsibility to act in a certain way to make me feel better? No.  And does it even work? Not often, or only temporarily...  -click to read on-
