SPRING CLEANING

OK, I know it's not quite spring yet, but it begins this month! After the brutal winter we just experienced, I am certain that you are as ready to see the early signs of spring as I am. Having lived in Massachusetts now for many years, I believe that the only reason we put up with these harsh winters is because there is nothing like spring in New England.

 

Most people equate New Years as a time of new beginnings, but I always feel that spring is an even better time for a fresh start. There is a reason people resort to "spring cleaning" and it's because it's at this juncture that we can leave the winter behind, complete with the boots, the blues, the doldrums and everything else winter brings!

 

What do you want to throw out this spring? Maybe it's the extra weight that is so easy to gain during the cold weather. Perhaps you want to start something new, like a job or a relationship or a project, but fear of failure (or success) is holding you back. Wouldn't you like to toss out fear and breathe in confidence? Maybe you are finally realizing that carrying the heavy backpack of unprocessed emotions or limiting beliefs is not getting you anywhere and it feels like now is the time to learn to let go. Whatever it is that you want to let go of, this is a great time for a fresh new start. And I can help you. 

 

My holistic health counseling is all about guiding you and supporting you as you learn how to let go of the obstacles that stand  between you and your balanced self. To be in balance means to address all of the "parts" of you, which are not really parts at all, but a holistic system which includes body mind and spirit. I love working with my clients and strive to help them restore the balance they were meant to live in. Being in balance is our basic right to happiness! Most of the time we are "at war" with parts of ourselves and unable to get to a place of peace and calm. Reaching that place means learning to love and accept all of the parts of you just as you are. Once the warring stops, the healing begins. To link to my website, click here.

soda

Cancer in a Can

That is what Japanese people call soda. And they can't believe that Americans consume so much of it. If you want to improve your health the first piece of advice I would give you is: if you drink soda, stop, because there is nothing in soda that is good for your overall health. If you look at the ingredients in soda you will see: carbonated water, caffeine, phosphoric or citric acid, sodium benzoate, high fructose corn syrup, which packs on about 140 empty calories or 12 teaspoons of sugar per serving or calorie free aspartame if you drink the diet version.

 

We have a sugar problem in this country. It is estimated that Americans are consuming their weight in sugar! Imagine eating over 100 pounds of sugar a year! The fastest way to increase your sugar intake is via soda or other sugary beverages. Too much sugar leads to a host of problems including obesity and diabetes, as well as cancer and heart disease. The sad part is that so many children become accustomed to sweets at a young age, and once in place a sugar addiction is hard to kick. The sugar that is added to soda is fructose which is the worst form of sugar.

 

The phosphoric acid causes calcium to be leached from the bones in order to buffer the acidity caused by soda. The pH of soda is about 1.5 (extremely acidic) and the pH of your blood has to be alkaline (7.4). It is estimated that it takes around 8 to 12 glasses of highly alkaline water to reverse the acidity of one can of soda.  For every can of soda ingested the amount of oxygen in the blood is decreased by 25% for up to three hours.  

 

Caffeine is a stimulant and probably the reason many go for that pick me up soda in the afternoon. Caffeine consumption in small amounts might be OK, but there might be a better way, such as a cup of coffee or tea. Drinking caffeinated soda on a routine basis will cause a crash and increase feeling fatigued. Tired? Maybe it's your soda.

 

And of course the diet versions contain the very harmful artificial sweeteners aspartame or sucralose (splenda, equally dangerous). These sweeteners are excitotoxins or neurotoxins and that means they damage nerve cells.  And there have been studies about sodium benzoate which is used as a preservative that demonstrate that it has the ability to damage your DNA. Oh and if that was not bad enough, just remember that the plastic bottle that contains the soda is leaching bisphenol-A or antimony into your drink. Talk about adding insult to injury!  

 

I read once a few years back that all soda was addictive and I thought at the time that was a ridiculous statement. How could soda be addictive? I am now convinced that diet soda or soda for that matter is every bit addictive as heroin. If you  are a soda drinker, try to stop. It is not easy. A study conducted with lab rats that were addicted to cocaine demonstrated that when given the choice to drink water with cocaine or water with sugar, they chose the sugar water over the cocaine.   

 

Soda, coffee and tea will dehydrate not hydrate your body. The best drink in the world is pure clean ionized and alkaline water in large amounts. The soda giants are large multi-billlion dollar corporations that make money at the expense of the health of millions of people. You would not put these chemicals in your gas tank. Don't put them in your precious body.   

SEVEN DESTRUCTIVE HABITS   

excerpted from Knowing Success by Rick Collingwood Ph.D

  • Don't say and do negative things.
  • Don't act before you think.
  • Don't talk more than you listen.
  • Don't give up easily.
  • Don't try to bring others down to your level.
  • Don't waste your time.
  • Don't take the easy way out.



INTRO TO EFT WORKSHOP 

The Emotional Freedom Technique is a powerful self-help application based on Traditional Chinese Medicine that can be an invaluable tool for releasing negative emotions, eliminating limiting beliefs, and managing daily stress. Also known as "meridian tapping" EFT works like emotional acupressure to quickly, gently and easily remove the negative emotions and beliefs that are at the root of our problems and pain.  

 

Wouldn't you like to have your own personal skill set so you can feel empowered to deal more effectively with life's daily ups and downs? Most modern day approaches to stress management are therapies that are designed to have you reaching outside of yourself. Learning how to use EFT will enable you to use this simple tapping technique to take care of yourself; independently, easily and in a cost effective manner. (It's free!!)   

This is a 4 hour workshop. It is lively and interactive, and I promise that you will leave with the skills to start applying EFT to your daily routine.

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.
