Healing Library A - C

Energy Centre:  Physical Body –  Tailbone Centre, Heart Centre

Endocrine Glands affected: Adrenals, Thymus as well as Spleen/Lymphatic system

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs: The emotions run intense as they get triggered around the false belief “separation” at the heart chakra creating a perception of distance from Love. In addition to this, a miasm with the consciousness of resentment is found buried deeply that has produced an attitude of bitterness towards the body, and many branches of emotions that are self destructive. You can begin to clear away the old paradigm of grief and pain in the body, emotions and mind… and move swiftly forward to embrace the Light of the Sun; Light of the Soul with a some support and guidance.

When the body’s defense mechanism, as white blood cells, turn confused and fall into the program of fighting with the healthy cells, they no longer have a “Commander” or “Master” at the head of the troops. Enter YOU. You are the Master and Commander that will now take over the programming to direct cells and Intelligence of the cells as per their original ORDERS from Creation. These are Universal Laws.

Counsel and Steps to Healing: First thing you need to understand is that YOU are the Master of the body and that you have the skills inherent in you to direct the cellular make up accordingly in cooperation with the original CODE of Life. The program of balance and protection of the physical body was disrupted in your Soul (and family) lineage and must now begin to be shifted back to a normalized state. Understand that your MIND is incredibly powerful and that energy is now going to follow your well focused thoughts. This new superior directive of healing from the Soul within you works very well and is your first step!

Your own new voice of command which governs and directs through love, is the focused power of your Mind, Heart and Soul that the body will look forward to co-operating with. Turn to the Source; the Divine and open your heart to receive. Speak within and surrender to the Code of Divine Life and Love. Start to pick up on the Colours and vibrations, healing and guidance that the Soul wishes to convey to you so that you may turn this condition around. Love and forgive yourself and embrace a new beginning where you direct the cells to seek out only that which truly is a pathogen and disturbance in the body and to love and embrace…. that which is not. The pathogens can be “transformed” into pure ENERGY again by the incredible Divine Intelligence found within you. Try this healing now on audio below and start to organize your “army of Light” with power and love!

Energy Centre Focus: Tailbone Centre – Heart Centre

Endocrine Glands affected: Adrenals, heart (organ) and thymus

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs: You need to examine your whole life and determine just how you have felt since a child growing up, right on through to your current age. Usually it is found that feelings of inferiority, low self worth and a defeated feeling took a foothold early in spite of your good efforts. You have found that before your peers, colleagues and parents that you never seem to be “good enough”. These false beliefs can root deeply and yet when triggered come flying forth with intensity and sweeping overwhelm.

You are found to be quite intelligent and strong willed yet the underlying emotional uncertainty can take over with out any seemingly logical trigger.

Anxiety can become powerful if left to itself, so it is important that you begin to objectively assess the roots of it.

When one looks at the underlying emotion there is often seen a lack of emotional support in the developing stages of life and a “sinking” feeling in your stomach when you were let down; disappointed by others lack of attention and interest in you. This emotional repetitive condition in the developing years leaves you feeling empty in the solar nerve plexus and very sensitive. Challenges then arise when you are called upon to step up to present oneself for discussion, active involvement, speaking “one on one” or just having to speak in front of others.

The goal? Transform the old emotional lesions and embrace a fresh realization of your Self worth!

Counsel and Steps to Healing: First of all it is important to engage the purposeful and conscious act of breathing properly. This gives you the power to govern and reassure yourself if the need arise when anxiety and fear comes up. The breath is so very powerful that you can use it in cooperation with your MIND to overcome just about anything.

Meditation and deep breathing are then a very good place to start. Next you are going to re-evaluate your level of goodness in a honest and self loving way. You need to remind yourself that you are a “child of Creation” and that you are here on this earth for a definitive purpose and reason. Each person on this earth is here for a reason so it would be less than fruitful to consider yourself unworthy to task!

Find what you enjoy doing in life and give it your best. Try not to compare yourself to others because each of us have our own special Soul mandate and it would be most undesirable to be living in someone else’s shoes. Focus on your own personal expression and honour that.

Look back at the triggers of when you feel anxious and you will find that any present day anxiety has a trigger in you relating to the past. Ask yourself…”What situation in the past would cause this type of reaction in you?” Family? School? Friends? Parents? You will then need to examine their own level of conscious awareness, their lack of understanding and their insensitive nature often likely not known to them. If you can understand just where the other person was coming from, it is much easier to understand their ways, their words or actions towards you. Love, forgiveness and healing comes through understanding.

Embrace who you are now! Engage in your gifts and skills with enthusiasm and enjoy your own offering to life and the development for the greater good of all involved. You will gain greater confidence and realization that there is nothing to be afraid of anymore. You are a beautiful human being and Soul that must trust now in the Greater Plan of life!

Energy Centre Focus: 5th – Throat and back of the neck

Endocrine Glands effected: Thyroid, adrenals

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs: There is difficulty in finding peace in your environment and a struggle for you to feel a strong sense of “belonging”. This produces insecurity in your root chakra centre or foundation. You tend to have difficulty expressing the deepest truth of your emotions thus struggle to get the breath. The breath is a connection to the Life Force Energy and to the Universal Creator. According to notable authorities, in the beginning of Creation we are all said to be One with the Universe through the sacred breath, yet you are having difficulty aligning to it.

There is deep rooted “heart ache” that has not been defined and expressed that sits upon the upper chest causing tightness. The tears may or may not come often when this area is given healing attention and this only adds to the increased heat/pain when emotion builds up. You are in need of coming to a “oneness” with Nature and the body.

Counsel and Steps to Healing: Should include reflection upon the feelings and triggers that arise from others and from environmental-social experiences. The visualization of the colour Emerald GREEN is very helpful in the healing process plus a brilliant Royal Blue Sapphire colour that is quite electric-like in appearance with dazzling Blue Light in it. You can imagine or visualize either one of these colours or both flowing into your throat centre where your thyroid is located at the front of the base of your throat as you quietly breathe.

Place your left hand on your heart and your right hand over your thyroid gland and get quiet. Reflect upon the pathways in between the heart and the throat. Imagine that a scene of Blue sky, fresh air and a river or body of water that is moving gently. Breathe quietly to the best of your ability and ask for “Universal Love or the God of your Heart” to join you. This will help you in the healing process and your hands will bring the comforting healing from the Universal Source to your heart and throat chakra centres.

A full training should be undertaken for “diaphragm” breathing and a cycle of Negative/Positive breathing as well with the appropriate time of rest in between. 

Toning: You can try toning the word “Ahhhhhh” with mouth open and jaw relaxed; breathing out. Do this 3x times with a deep breath in between to a comfortable limit.

Healing Stone: Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Clear Quartz Crystal,

Energy Centre Focus:  1st – Tailbone Centre

Endocrine Glands effected:  Adrenals

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs:  You are finding it very difficult to feel secure and experience a healthy foundation in some of the most necessary aspects of life; home, profession, finances and internal peace.  Somehow throughout life it has been impressed on your mind that the “Key to success and happiness” comes from material security and hard work.  You would tend to then imbalance yourself by investing far too much energy into the physical attachments of life and have left very little energy for the relaxing enjoyment and peace in the heart.

Sooner or later the adrenals are going to get tired and you would run out of steam.  Add to that the stress and worry and you have a formula for an adrenal breakdown.  Mental achievements, success and pursuit of personal projects, job, other people, home, family, kids and not enough energy directed to yourself, leads to quite the imbalance over time and if you are getting older; the bounce back get harder.  When you are younger you feel like you can do anything for all lengths of time but this is temporary and does catch up to you.

Even the heart and circulation is affected by this type of “all out” behaviour so it is especially important to care for yourself and bring ORDER back into your life. Learn to conserve energy.

It is important that I also mention the fact that the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue are often due to residues of a battle you had with a powerful FLU virus.  Usually these are the extreme Type A flu pathogens that attack your immune system and take you out of commission for a lengthy period of time.  The body often never quite gets rid of the virus and it can rise up months and years laters when you are feeling weak and overworked.  To avoid this you must also look at building your immune system with healthy eating, supplements and support from a Naturopath/Homeopath.  These old virus miasms CAN be removed from the body with energy work and physical treatment.

Counsel and Steps to Healing:   First of all you are going to have to create a new schedule that includes more time for yourself and a new attitude about your own importance.  It is not going to work well for your correction if you continue to put others ahead all the time.  Though well understood you have a kind heart, this kindness for others must also include a kindness to yourself too!

Doing a visualization each day that will strengthen as you practice would be helpful Using your imagination, see a strong bream of Light from the Sun (representing your Soul) coming down from above your head….see it coming down through the top into your brain…carrying on down through the back of the neck and down the spine to the tailbone.  Then as you breathe, you can let a calmness disperse naturally down through your legs and into your feet.  Breathe deeply throughout and with purpose.

The more that you create this strong line of energy connection, the more energy you will have from your unlimited Source of the Universe.

Reflect deeply upon the things in life that would bring you comfort, joy and a break from the rushed lifestyle.  Do you like to garden? Ride a bike or motorcycle? horse?  How about just a walk around the block by yourself?  If you can use your imagination, then you can also come up with at least one thing that you can do for yourself.  Many have said they don’t mind even if it is just an hour spent doing a jigsaw puzzle, crossword or video game..as long as it does not over stimulate and you feel relaxed.

Breathing is the most simple and natural act for a human being yet we all seem to struggle to breathe deeply enough.  The adrenals are relying on ENERGY for their own purpose of “fight or flight” and if they are constantly under siege and on alert, they start to draw energy from whatever reserves can be found.  Breathing in the Vital Life Force and prana of the sun each day helps…so too does the deep breathing practice from the “subtle source” we more commonly and lovingly call, the Universal Source of the All.

Physical Considerations:

Disclaimer: 

This information is not a substitute for medical advice. It is best to consult with a health care provider before initiating any new form of treatment. Those taking medications should be especially prudent, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding must always discuss new treatments with their health care provider to ensure their safety.

Adrenal fatigue results after the adrenals have been overworked for a long period of time. The function of the adrenals is largely determined by the nervous system. When the nervous system is in sympathetic mode (fight or flight), which is triggered by a wide variety of stressors, it will cause the adrenals to release cortisol. When we regularly stimulate the adrenals, they will naturally begin to tire after some time. At this point, many individuals turn to stimulating foods and substances such as sugar, simple carbohydrates, coffee, alcohol, and tobacco. This pushes their adrenals to work even when tired. Eventually, even the stimulating substances cease to work because the adrenal glands are exhausted. They require rest and replenishment. As mentioned above it is important to slow down and ensure you are receiving adequate sleep – in particular between the hours of 10pm-6am. Further, it is important to have a diet that includes sufficient amounts of water and is free from the above-mentioned stimulating substances.

For any physical healing to occur, the body needs to have sufficient nutrients. They are essential building blocks, and you can’t heal if you don’t have the basic materials required. Certain nutrients are indicated for helping nourish the adrenals back to health – Vitamin C, B5, B6, magnesium, zinc and L-theanine should all be considered in the case of adrenal fatigue. When a body is weakened by a chronic condition, it may not be able to adequately absorb and assimilate nutrients. Tissue salts are nutrients building blocks, delivered in minute form to maximize absorption and assimilation by the compromised cell/tissue/organ in need of healing. Kali Phos, Mag Phos, and Calc Phos are the three tissue salts that have the greatest affinity for calming an over active nervous system, and thereby help rebalance the underlying cause of adrenal fatigue.

Botanical medicine works synergistically with nutrient cofactors to facilitate the healing process. Herbs that have an affinity for the adrenals include Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Eleuthero, Holy basil, Ginseng, Licorice*, Oat, Rhodiola, Schisandra and Siberian Ginseng. Essential oils are another form of plant-based medicine. Nutmeg assists in regulating both excessive and deficient production of adrenal hormones, while clove, rosemary, and basil specifically assist in recovering from a depleted, exhausted state. Essential oils that have been shown to help alleviate stress (a cause of adrenal fatigue) include lavender, rose, sandalwood, and frankincense.

The greatest strides in physical healing typically occur when protocols combine supplementation of the relevant nutrient cofactors with botanical medicine and at least one energetic modality. Bach flower remedies that are useful in various stages and presentations of adrenal fatigue include Hornbeam, Oak, Olive. Gemmotherapies that are indicated include Black Currant Bud, English Holly, Oak Bud, Giant Sequoia Gigantea. Reflexology and acupuncture are also incredibly effective energetic modalities that can be utilized. A registered acupuncturist or naturopathic doctor can design an acupuncture protocol based on your symptoms and general constitution, but if you wish to add some acupressure into your daily regimen, you can consider applying pressure to KD-1, KD-3, KD-27.

*Licorice can increase blood pressure and therefore should not be taken by anyone who is being treated for high blood pressure or who’s blood pressure is on the upper end of the normal range. It is always best to consult with a naturopathic physician who is trained in the use of both pharmaceutical and botanical medicine.

Energy Centre Focus :  Primarily:  BRAIN centre associated with feelings of pleasure and endorphin release.  Heart Centre - emotional pain, Solar Plexus - Self Worth

Endocrine Glands affected:  all of them. Organs affected: Heart and Liver

The reason all are being mentioned here is because the addictions are so unhealthy; so damaging to your existence that they effect injury upon the total state of your Being and existence.  Time to choose a healthy lifestyle and find your spiritual/holistic balance to be happy...but your need help and you deserve help and support.

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs: 

You are going to have to start with a most important Principle in Creation:  LOVE

For a particular reason, you are struggling with love in your life and this love is of vital importance to you because it is SELF LOVE that we are talking about together this day.  Self love is something in your vocabulary that you are challenged to embrace and this inability to embrace with seen in symptoms of addiction.  It takes a lot of courage at times, to speak to the fears of being unloved and the addictive substances “seem” to give you courage to get up each day and go about your life.  This false courage is not real though as it only masks the pain and you will need to get to the storehouse of the pain and release it. That pain in your body and emotional self will be very, very happy to be released too as it has likely been imprisoned in you a long time.  Won’t it feel good to give yourself liberation from this pain !

Addictions to substances that give you temporary relief from your world of pain and fear; where love is seemingly absent in your life…are just that; temporary.  The truth still remains that you need to get in touch with the underlying cause and fix it permanently.  While you are exploring, releasing and treating your emotional pain you can be incorporating a physical detox and diet that helps you to wean off of addictive substances and strengthen the health of the body with proper nourishment and higher vibratory supplements. Engage a mentor or professional support to help you get started…someone who will “walk beside you”.

Destructive energies in addictions may start out quite harmless as an investigation and experimentation with some activity that seems to be crowd pleasing in society.  However, this pleasure soon gives way to pain and triggers the wheel of emotion around you and within you making it more difficult to keep on a happy front or presentation among your peers, family and friends.

We have a pleasure centre in our brain that registers the first response and it is this response that we feel we deserve to have; happiness.  We enjoy the first responses of happiness because often there is so little happiness that you trick yourself into believing that this is finally going to give you some form of happiness that you deserve.  However, the key right here is that you are “tricked’ into believing this.  The happiness is absolutely well deserved; but not from these addictions and experiences.  Happiness, love and joy should be experiences that you register in your life because you are doing some very natural activities and surrounding yourself with situations where happiness can come from some very simple practices in life rather than from the addictive substance and behaviour.

It can be very difficult for you to recognize that you have an addiction because it seems that the temporary joy is quite exhilarating to you and you would not wish to give that up.  You can then convince yourself when you are in pain after that you’ll be okay as long as you can go back to the addictive behaviour to bring back that happiness feeling again…and so the cycle goes.

Choosing another activity to replace this will be best but even more important is to reach into yourself and identify WHY you are not happy and WHAT is the originating reason.  Where do you deny yourself a natural ebb and flow of joy?  Are you giving away too much of yourself to others and not getting the same in return?  Do you find yourself deeply critical of self instead of appreciating yourself and loving just who you are?  There can be many reasons for the underlying cause to be so eruptive in your life and it is a very wise decision to go exploring the reason for your unhappiness and for your denial of SELF LOVE.

Counsel and Steps to Healing: 

It is most often best in addictive situations to go and seek help from another; a profession who has the skills in advising you PLUS they should have experience in what you are going through.  If they do not have that experience as you do, then it is less likely they can help you.

Write down or journal your feelings often.  Be HONEST with yourself.  Why are you upset?  Why are you so hard on yourself?  Why do you deny yourself LOVE?  If you think you are unworthy or undeserving then you need to explore that further.  Who told you that?  What experience told you that?  Be very clear where you are getting your beliefs from for these are what we call “false beliefs” and need to be cleared up.  The experience you had is telling you these things are true but in fact they cannot be true for you are a Divine expression of Love & Light, and have within you inherent qualities of Divinity.  You have been born for a purpose and a PLAN has been laid out for you.  You are just unaware perhaps of what that plan is and do not have the support to find out and walk the plan!

It is TIME to seek out guidance from a Spiritual or Intuitive counsellor, take up meditation for healing and RECEIVE healing from an energy worker to lift the load of old emotions and false beliefs up and out of your life so that the destructive behaviour can turn to POSITIVE living! Learning to receive can be tedious and embarrassing at first.  You may be feeling too proud to receive this type of help.  Then you can start on your own with affirmations and healing meditations for receiving.  Once you feel comfortable receiving you can start to network out further.

Recognize that the shadow side of this world’s commercial marketplace, have designed the products and entertainment industry services to lure you in when you are feeling weak and unprotected, so that they can take your hard earned money for themselves as you buy their products, consume their products and spend your money on their games and “smoke and mirrors”.  They trick you into believing you are important and well loved as long as you are spending your money in their gambling establishments, drinking their alcohol or smoking their cigarettes.  This love however is not REAL love; it is a manipulative hook at best.  The bars will continue to pour you liquor if you are paying, the cigarette companies will continue to sicken your  body with addictive substances for their own financial gain and the beer and liquor manufacturers will pump out vast amounts of money in advertising to suggest you will have more friends, fancy cars, sports engagements and beautiful people around you if you drink their products.  These products will damage your liver, your brain, your self esteem and self worth.

Spiritual energy on the other hand and holistic practices will make you “addicted” too!  This is said in good humour.  The meaning of this being that you will enjoy your good health and well being so much that you will be ensuring it is a part of your life each and every day!

Healing Stone: Rose quarts, clear quarts and Amethyst

Energy Centre Focus:   2nd Centre – Sacral and 1st Centre – Tailbone

Endocrine Gland effected:   Adrenals and reproductive glands as well.

Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs:  What you are experiencing is an inability for your powerful life force (kundalini) to rise up properly through your chakras from its station in the root to sacral energy path.  This is caused by energy blockages in the sacral chakra at the back lumbar/sacrum and the front just below your navel.

The most predominant cause is emotional with its roots in false beliefs.  The false beliefs are often about being connected to your own feelings and expressing them.   How relaxed are you in expressing yourself about issues that are sensitive? Do you feel you are being listened to?  Often times you are harbouring hurt from relationships with family, friends and intimate partners.  The lumbar region should be strong and supportive and for this reason, underlying issues of fear of loss, imbalance must be transformed.

Key word for you to reflect on and assess in your life:  SUPPORT.  Identify those areas where support is lacking.

Another concern you may be challenged by is your own identification with your sexual needs in relationship.  Often old shame issues, misuse of energy, inability to openly express yourself sexually, disgrace with your own body, and suppression of feelings are commonly at the root of the emotional energy blocks in the sacral chakra.

Disc issues in Vertebrae:

When left unchecked, the vertebrae in the spine at the lower back become prone to sciatica, sudden falls, inflammation issues and disc slippage.  This is all due to the emotional build up in the weakened lower back from poor energy circulation impairing movement up and down the spine.

With the sacral chakra centre blocked at the back due to unexpressed emotions, the energy of the kundalini when rising  during meditation and natural impulses, has no where to go but right back down causing pain in the back.  This makes many simple acts of living quite difficult.

If the unexpressed emotions and sexual energy is continued to be suppressed, often times you will find yourself gaining extra weight (fat layers) over the belly, lower abdomen and on top of the bladder region.  This can cause further illness and problems for you and should be carefully watched with effort placed on transforming it.

* Note:  Kundalini is a subtle energy of power that each human being has inherent in them.  It usually lays dormant with minimal vibration or movement to it, until called upon.  There is a small amount of kundalini awakened and moved up through the spine during adrenaline rushes (fight or flight) – root chakra, sexual release through orgasm – sacral chakra, deep thinking (solar plexus) and meditation – most or all chakras.  Controlled meditations will masterfully raise the kundalini with proper breath work taking your conscious awareness to higher levels of spiritual realization expressing through the chakras.

Counsel and Steps to Healing:  You have to first do a few reflections.  Ask yourself the important questions as to whether or not you are in a relationship/home or work environment where you can freely express yourself.  Are you feeling supported?  Check in on your own feelings and beliefs around your sexuality and the expression of it.  You may need to start looking for the roots of this condition with a Energy Healer or Intuitive Counsellor.

You can run a chakra meditation with emphasis on the Orange and Pink Ray being drawn into the 2nd Chakra but not exclusively.  You will want to make sure you do all the chakras.  When working on your 2nd chakra to root path, you are visualizing such higher subtle thoughts as self love, compassion for self and others, honouring your own needs, choosing a partner and friends that are good listeners as well as receivers, understanding that you may wish to share your old hurts with someone you trust to release the pain that you are holding.  Breathing practices that can be performed while stretching your lower back with proper exercises or yoga practices.

Be very clear that you are choosing now to live a more flexible life of expression that has transparency between you and your partner, family and friends.  That you can stand up for what you believe in your heart are your own skills and gifts and that you are choosing to create a life that embraces them.

Physical Considerations:

Disclaimer: 

This information is not a substitute for medical advice. It is best to consult with a health care provider before initiating any new form of treatment. Those taking medications should be especially prudent, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding must always discuss new treatments with their health care provider to ensure their safety.

Lower back pain is a common symptom that can arise from a variety of underlying issues. The characteristics of pain (sharp, radiating, dull, diffuse, localized, etc.) help to decipher whether the pain is coming from a muscle, nerve, joint, fascia, organ, or some combination of the above. Identifying the source of the pain helps determine which therapies are most beneficial.

Some of the causative factors that contribute to the development of back pain include: 

Dehydration – Never underestimate the importance of water. Proper hydration is a key component of musculoskeletal health. When the body is dehydrated the ability to clear lactic acid, and other forms of waste is compromised. So is the capacity to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the joints, muscles, and other tissues. Fascia (the connective tissue that encases our muscles and organs) is particularly sensitive to dehydration.  Dehydrated fascia is more prone to developing adhesions which decrease a person’s range of motion and can become a source of chronic pain. The volume of vertebral discs also shrinks when a person is dehydrated, which in turn compromises the joint space and places further strain on muscles and tendons. Drinking roughly 8-10 glasses of water a day (depending on size and activity level) is important, but if you have been under hydrated for a long period of time, the electrolytes that help your body absorb water are likely out of balance. Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes and therefore a potent rehydrator. Potassium and magnesium are two minerals that typically must be replenished for optimal hydration to be achieved. 

Mineral Deficiency – Like dehydration, mineral deficiencies prevent the delivery of nutrients and the clearance of waste to and from the tissues. It also contributes problems with the intervertebral discs, increasing the likelihood of herniation or rupture. While it is imperative that you replenish all minerals, magnesium plays an especially important role helping relieve chronic tightness and muscle spasms. It comes in many forms, but magnesium glycinate is best for treating musculoskeletal concerns. Epsom salt baths are incredibly restorative for sore, stiff muscles largely due to the magnesium they contain. Alkaline baths are another option which assists in remineralization and muscle recovery by facilitating the breakdown of lactic acid and removal of other toxins via the skin. 

Poor Posture – When the skeletal system is out of alignment due to improper positioning of our body, it creates a strain on our muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as promotes the development of fascial adhesions. When the body is in an unnatural position for a prolonged period, some muscles are forced to stretch beyond a comfortable limit and consequently weaken. Other muscles respond to this by tightening up in an attempt to compensate and stabilize the joints. Sitting for long periods at a desk or in a car, sleeping in certain positions and wearing high heels are all poor posture habits that can lead to lower back pain.  Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists specialize in identifying and treating fascial adhesions and imbalances in muscle tone that lead to lower back pain. 

Supplements that act as natural anti-inflammatories and help to restore joint health include Boswellia, curcumin, fish oil, Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) and glucosamine. Tissue salts that help correct underlying causes of lower back pain include Ferr Phos which is good in the early stages of inflammation and pain; Calc Fluor following a strain (can be alternated with Ferr Phos); Calc Phos – for rheumatic pain or when the pain presents on bending, and there is difficulty straightening.  Calc Phos also works well for those who find their symptoms worsen with exposure to cold and changes in weather. 

Topical application of essential oils can be hugely useful in providing pain relief. Some of the oils most indicated include peppermint, wintergreen/birch, marjoram, basil, black pepper, nutmeg, lemongrass (especially good for ligaments and tendons), cypress, lavender, and rosemary*.  Oils can be mixed together or layered one by one over affected area. Essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil to avoid irritation of the skin. Arnica oil is an ideal carrier oil for musculoskeletal pain as the arnica plant has numerous healing properties, especially in the case of bruising or strains. In addition to applying essential oils to the lower back directly, you can also massage the oils over various acupuncture points that are indicated for back pain, such as UB 63 or KD 3.  

*rosemary should be avoided by individuals with high blood pressure. See Essential Oil page for more advice on safe use.

Children – Learning – Teacher’s Perspective

My name is Michelle, I am a middle school teacher and department head of languages, with 3 children of my own. The reason I sought out Shefali Tsabary’s book ‘The Conscious Parent’ myself, the reason I have had to do a lot of unlearning, uncomfortable self examination and digging for answers, is that my oldest child is not one to conform. Although he is very intelligent , he does not perform well at school, he has a likeable personality and many friends, but does not think he needs to cooperate with teachers’ directions. We are very close and yet he has also always been frustratingly aloof about my ideas for him or requests about behaviour, performance etc. These dynamics have produced a lot of fear, frustration and anger at times.

The hope I had to impose my ideas about what he should be, insisting on high test score results, grooming for the nice neat fit in the box professional I dreamed of delivering to the world, all those hopes I have had to let go of. What I have had to find instead is a way to maintain a connection with him, to maintain firm boundaries, but accept him for who he is, and resist the temptation to control (and attempt to make him into who I think he should be.) For this is the only way he will be able to “rise taller, brighter, grander than I was able to”, if I can help him realize the greatness and potential that already exists within him.

I have learned my son has a lot of gifts, and wisdom about what is wrong with the world, and that he has a lot of compassion and ideas about what needs changing. When we are supportive and he is given opportunities to be creative, he has been very successful in school. As a teacher with many years of observing young people, I can assure you that your children have their own gifts, talents, ideas and potential – that they came here with – as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77EYio6guJg&app=desktop

The video I found sums up the author’s message about the struggle we all will have to some degree with our children, and our outdated ideas of what a parent should be. This will be a long sometimes messy journey trying to instil values, motivation and responsibility in our children, while finding a way to honour who they already are, what they are here to discover, learn and contribute from their soul , and teach us.

What if our children were also here to hold up a mirror to ourselves, show us what our fears, insecurities, anxieties and need for control we hold and should be facing in order to heal. And what if our jobs as parents were to first accept ourselves, and then accept our children, so that we as parents can ultimately “mirror their inherent wholeness, out of which they will manifest who they are becoming.”

I will be sharing a message from a master educator and innovator, who shares this same message from an educational perspective, along with the direly needed change in our educational perspective especially in these times.

Building up your Etheric Body and Increasing your Protective Aura

We all have an Electro-magnetic field that is commonly referred to as your AURA. This field is made up of many different levels of your consciousness and the first level called the ETHERIC level, that is the blueprint for your physical body, is very important and must be kept strong. However, with the challenges we have in our environment, nutrient deficient foods, poor water quality and polluted air that we breathe, the Etheric body is overwhelmed in its efforts to keep your body healthy.

In order for the etheric body to keep our physical body healthy, it relies on your emotional and mental state being well balanced as well in order to do its job. If you are stressed, anxious or fretful, you will be impacting your etheric body and the health of your physical body.
