THE SEASON of LOVE
During Christmas season we celebrate love. The Bible tells us to love our neighbors. Jesus said we must love our enemies. John Lennon sang "all we need is love". But what is love and how can we better understand the concept of loving others especially during this season of love? It is easy to love the lovable. The challenge is to love the ones that aren't. To truly love, it takes coming from a higher perspective; a soul perspective. From that perspective we can see and thus understand that, despite having learned somewhere along the line that we are flawed, imperfect and therefore unlovable, the truth is that, from a soul perspective, we are totally deserving of love. Until we can let go of old notions and truly see ourselves in the light of our truth as lovable exactly as we are, we will remain unable to see others as truly lovable exactly as they are. Remember that the world we see is our mirror.
I love Dr. Judith Swack's definition of love. When asked about defining love, Judith replied, "We all have a soul inside of us. That soul is made of the energy of God, which is the energy of love and light. Our souls are part of the greater collective energy of God, so we are all pat of one network of love and light. The most important thing to be aware of is that you are made of love and connected to all life and that the light supports you. And although you may have consciously forgotten or had to repress that memory because of how you were treated in the past, the truth is still inside and all around you. So love yourself and love being in your beautiful miraculous body. And when you meet others, connect with them soul to soul and from love to love. In that state there is nothing to fear, no shyness, no self-consciousness. It's just one soul recognizing acknowledging and connection with another. Every interaction enriches you."
Whatever you celebrate this season, remember to celebrate you. You are a unique gift from God, there is no one exactly like you! Gift yourself by freeing yourself from any beliefs or notions that you aren't good enough exactly as you are. And then go forward an bring the best you into every situation.
Have a Merry Christmas Happy Hanukkah and a peaceful joyous season.

 Diatomaceous Earth
I have a great recommendation for you this month. It's a product called Diatomaceous Earth (or DE for short). I stumbled upon this amazing product in my quest to find natural ways to eliminate heavy metals and other chemical toxins that tend to accumulate in the body. We know how contaminated our air food and water supply is, so it behooves us to keep our bodies detoxified from all the bad stuff as best we can in order to enjoy health and vitality for as long as we can. Taking DE on a daily basis is a very inexpensive yet effective way to do this.
DE is also called fossil flour, but it is not flour or earth at all. DE is powdered fossilized diatoms or hard shelled sea algae rich in minerals, and it consists of 89% silica, a mineral which is essential to health. Silica is the most important trace mineral for human health and is necessary for the formation of collagen for bones and connective tissues, for healthy nails skin and hair, and for maintaining flexible arteries and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Silica counteracts the effects of aluminum on the body and is important in the prevention of Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. Since the soil is no longer mineral rich, we are all lacking in sufficient amounts of silica.
When taken into the body, DE works in three ways: As it moves through the stomach and digestive tract it attracts and absorbs bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticide and drug residues and heavy metals. These toxins are trapped and passed out of the body. Removing the "junk" on a regular basis gives the immune system a "jump start". Although food grade DE looks soft and powdery like a fine powder, when highly magnified as you can see from the picture above, it has a rough hard surface, resembling a Rice Chex. It is this feature that allows the DE to pass through the small and large intestine and "scrub the walls" keeping the colon clean. This is the second way it works. Lastly, a small part of the DE gets absorbed into the blood as silica. One of the benefits of silica is that it helps to destroy bad fats. Many people that take daily DE report cholesterol levels lowered, as well as lower blood pressure.
The only Diatomaceous Earth you can take internally is Food Grade quality. There are several companies that manufacture and sell food grade DE. All you need is about one tablespoon a day mixed in water or juice. DE is worth checking out....

By the way, DE can be used externally on pets to take care of fleas and ticks, or to work as a non-toxic pest control agent!

DON'T OVERLOOK THE KIWIFRUIT
 The next time you are in the produce section looking for some healthy fruit, do not overlook those brown and slightly furry egg shaped fruits. According to Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, author of Food as Medicine, and President and Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Foundation, the kiwifruit is one of the most underrated healing foods in the world. In a study conducted at Rutgers where the nutritional value of twenty-seven fruits were compared ounce for ounce to determine which provided the most nutrition, kiwifruit was found to be the most nutrient dense. Kiwifruit has twice as much Vitamin C than oranges, contain a significant source of magnesium, and outrank bananas and apricots in potassium.
It was discovered in a research study at the University of Oslo in Norway that kiwi has been shown to promote heart health by working as a blood thinner.* In this important study it was noted that unlike aspirin which can cause intestinal bleeding, kiwi could thin blood without any of the risk factors associated with aspirin such as stomach pain, bruising or bleeding. Instead of an aspirin a day, how about a kiwi a day instead? Far healthier and less risky.
Dr. Khalsa who is the leading voice in the integrative medical approach to the prevention and treatment of memory loss rated kiwifruit as one of his top ten recommendations for food. It is also worth knowing that the Environmental Working Group put kiwifruit on its list of twelve food least contaminated with pesticides.
Remember what Hippocrates said 4000 years ago: " Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food".

 It is my passion and desire to contribute to the betterment of the world by spreading the message that a state of well being is for everyone. No matter how old you are, or what stage you are in, or what you have been through, I believe that you can find your way back to the Wholeness that was always your birthright. We are born magnificent beings but get conditioned into mediocrity. It is up to you to pick up the map to find your way back. And I'll help you anyway I can. "If you want to know the quality of what you radiate, just observe how people respond to you. They are your mirror." Gary Craig.
Have a great month!
