Hot baths, hot pads, hot water boles, heated blankets, the list goes

on for heat therapy. Its relaxing; its soothing, makes us feel sleepy and

gives us that overall warm fuzzy feeling. Ice bags and cold packs, on the

other hand, give a lot of people anxiety - and with good reason some

of us are so stressed and exhausted by our lives we feel like we cant get

warm. The idea of a cold pack actually makes some people feel afraid;

like we may never get warm again. And because of this fear, we put heatpads on everything, even injuries. But a heat pad is far from a catch all

soluon, and in many instances can increase the problem! Below are the

dos and dont of hot and cold therapies so you can use them properly to

treat aches and pains at home.

Hot Therapy Do

Take a hot bath at the end of a long day of physical acvity or inacvity.

The heat from the tub will relax your muscles and bring blood to the

surface layers of skin, thus cleansing it as it moves through the lymphac

structures under the skin.

Put a moist heat, like a hot towel, on an achy and s arthric

joint. The heat will help loosen the ssues and increase thecirculaon through them. This followed up by a gentle massage

can improve mobility by a lot.

Hot Therapy Dont

DONT put heat on a new injury of any kind even a muscle strain.

All new injuries are inamed and placing a heang pad on the

inamed part with increase the inammaon and nerve conducvity

creang more pain. In addion, this will slow down the healing

process making your injury take longer to recover.

DONT put heat on an arthric are up! As the above line states,

inammaon and heang pads are not friends and the heat will

make the are up worse. Basically when it comes to heat therapy, if

you are inamed NO HEAT.

So now, if our bodies have to deal with those chronically on a dai

Cold Therapy Do

Got inammaon? A fresh injury? Then a cold pack really will b

your best friend. The cold will reduce the inammaon and the

pain and will help speed the recovery process. Try it out for

yourself some me and you will see that its true.

Use a cold pack during an arthric are up - when the joints are

red and swollen. Again, this will reduce the inammaon and th

pain.

Use a cold towel when you have a head ache place it on the ba

of the skull and feel relief. Light sensive? Drape the towel over

your head to block the light and gain relief from the cold.

Keep a water bole or bean bag in the freezer at all mes to use

for nasty foot pain like plantar fascis. Just rest your foot on the

cold bag or roll it out on the bole.

When inammaon occurs remember RICE: Rest Ice Compress Eleva

And inammaon occurs every me your body is hurt. So no more

heang pads on your boo-boos, ok?

Did you know that our brain needs about25% more oxygen than any other organ? With Laughter Yoga we canincrease the brains oxygen levels, and gain amazing results, whichbring about increased levels of energy, joy & serenity.

Team Building

People who laugh together, work together and a company thatpromotes Laughter as Medicine, and provides wellness classesfor their employees, gains so much in increased productivity andlowers the level of employee sick days.that has to be a bonus forthemselves and a heightened benet for all.

A Look Into the Piezoelectric Glan

The pineal gland is anatomically located near the center of our brain and

responsible for communicang with our body regarding me, sleep, wake

sexual maturity and aging. It is our internal clock and navigaonal posio

system. The pineal gland is also known as the third eye.

Although the pineal gland is anatomically part of our brain it is not isolate

from the body by the blood-brain barrier system. It has abundant blood

second to the kidney, both of which are common sites for calcicaon.

Calcicaon of the pineal gland is thought to be part of our aging process

Some believe that we have created this calcicaon from the intake of to

such as uoride and its derivaves. Physiologically calcicaon of the pine

gland can iniate the deterioraon of our health by causing a disrupon

in our melatonin producon thereby aecng our sleep-wake cycle. This

consequently aects our mood, sex-drive, metabolism and so on.

Metaphysically the vision of our third eye and the ability to connect with

higher self is aected. We can lose our sense of direcon in life, our passi

for the human experience and our connecon to Source energy.

Many enlightened beings are blessed with clean pineal glands and theref

are strongly connected to Source. These intuive souls have been sharing

ways to de-calcify the pineal gland as well as how to adapt with ourtemporary evoluonary process and overcome this obstacle regardless of

cause.

We are electromagnec beings equipped with a piezoelectric anten

Medical science has discovered that the brain sand on our pineal g

contains the same minerals that are found in quartz crystal. Quartz cryst

is known to be one of the most piezoelectric minerals on earth and has b

used in many technological devices such as; sonar, radios, clocks, micropho

cameras and diagnosc equipment.

Piezoelectric crystals are eecve because they are capable of receiving

amplifying informaon created by vibraon. These crystals that form on

pineal gland are also piezoelectric and provide us with an internal anten

that is capable of receiving informaon from vibraons within the bod

well as external sources physically, energecally and spiritually. In other w

these crystals can be acvated to connect us to everything and everyone.

To live a longer and healthier life it is recommended to de-calcify the pi

gland by decreasing or eliminang the use of toxic products. Choose fo

water, herbs and supplements that alkalize the body. Shi old belief syst

and pracce ways to de-stress the body, mind and spirit.

In the meanme you can choose to follow the advice of the proverb if

hands you lemons, make lemonade and acvate the crystals on your pi

gland, connect with your telepathic abilies and communicate with y

higher Self. See everything with new perspecve. Be certain about your

and decisions. Sleep soundly and wake feeling well rested. Guide your

with condence on your journey.

With a clean and acvated pineal gland and an open third eye you will in

your human experience and overcome all obstacles by seeing them fro

higher perspecve. Obstacles, such as the calcicaon of the pineal gland

can be viewed as an opportunity for spiritual learning and evoluon

growth.

Didyouknow?Vinegars natural holistic uses - Part 1

Liquid Crystal Love Part 3

If you have been following my articles you may be asking yourself

if tap water has uoride and bottled water has contaminates from

plastics, what about Reverse Osmosis or Distilled water?

I will start by saying that anything you can do to avoid poisons such

as uoride and chlorine is a good start. However, jug style lters that

you can buy at your local department store to lter tap water are notsufce. Do not waste your money.

What is Reverse Osmosis?

Its a process used for ltering water in which pressure is applied to

force the water through a semipermeable membrane that refuses to

allow the passage of certain contaminants. It can extract inorganic

minerals, heavy metals, lead, copper, uoride and a series of other

contaminants. Other advantages include no electricity use and

its ideal for use in electrical devices. Unfortunately, it takes 4-6

gallons of water to make one gallon of puried water. Systems and

membrane replacement can be costly and water quality diminishes as

the membrane ages. Although certain bacteria cannot pass through

the membrane, it can grow in the holding tank.

What does Distilled mean?

Distillation is a process where by water is boiled into steam and

the steam is then collected for drinking water. Water distillation

effectively removes bacteria, microorganisms, uoride, pesticides,

heavy metals and minerals. Other advantages include no colour, no

odor and no taste to the water. Disadvantages include electricity use,

number of hours to make water, lack of taste and storage issues.

Reverse Osmosis has been called dead water because the water has

been manipulated to the point where is has lost its natural structure.

Both RO and Distilled have no minerals or organic life. RO fails t

transform negative memory left in the water from toxins and there

surrenders all of its crystalline structure. Distilled water is consid

sterile and for that reason, the water will look for any organic mate

it comes in contact with to stabilize itself. NEVER store distilled

water in plastic. There is much controversy about whether or not

distilled water leaches minerals from our bodies. Some scientists that it can but others say that once the water comes in contact with

contents of our stomach it is immediately neutralized. Other sourc

say that distilled water creates aggressive H2O that has an almost

completely destroyed geometric structure.

If I drink RO or Distilled what can I do to put life bac

into my water?

Some suggestions are: adding a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, using

various crystals, reiki blessing, prayer, moon charging, music (soft

angelic, classical or highly positive), vortexing, writing positive

words on your water bottle and thanking your water. Always store

your water in glass bottles. For more information about howvibrations, words and music change the structure of your water see

the Masaru Emoto studies.

Keep in mind even though you are charging these waters they will

never become genuine living water like Spring water!!!

Vinegar has been a useful medicine for thousands of years, crossing continents and cultures, assisting doctors and helping ailing populationWhile current medicine focuses almost exclusively on complex chemical and drug treatments, vinegar is still being studied for its potential usesboth complementary and orthodox medicine. As a home remedy, it is reputed to soothe almost anything from joint paint and sore throats to eczand fatigue and is also benecial to weight loss.

It must be stressed that prior to self-diagnosis, it is essential to contact your medical professional to discuss your health problem(s).

Sore ThroatsThere are three ways of treating sore throats gargling, swallowing and wrapping. If you do all three, the sore throat stands no chance:

To gargle, mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water and gargle for ten seconds, three to four times a day. To swallow, mix four teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and four teaspoons of honey in a glass of warm water. Drink every four hours. For wrapping, rst steep a cloth in a mixture of 200 ml/7 oz/1 cup of warm water and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Squeeze itand place on the throat, keeping it in place by wrapping another scarf or cloth around it. Wear this while sleeping and the vinegar will drawtoxins out of your system.

ArthritisThis is a condition that blights sufferers with painful and stiff joints but the use of apple cider vinegar has consistently been shown to alleviathe pain. Medical stores abound of patients, whose ngers have become deformed by arthritis, nding themselves with pain-free digits thanto the use of vinegar.The process is simple. Start with one teaspoon of vinegar a day in a large glass of water. At your own pace, increase this to twice a day andthen drink the vinegar with every meal. Over time, increase the vinegar intake to a dessertspoon (two teaspoons) with each glass.Improvement will occur though how great it is depends on the severity of the condition.

Last issue, we discussed the principles behind Vibrational Sound

Medicine and its intricate relationship to the bodys in-built system of

resonance frequency. By introducing a variety of pure tonal sounds we

can in essence tune the body back into its natural state of being, just

as we would tune a guitar by playing it alongside the harmonic scale.

Each of the seven main energy centres within the body, (known as

chakras in the east, and over here in the wild west, modern science

call them nerve bundles) has a specic frequency resonance that each

vibrates to when they are in a balanced state. Interestingly, each chakra

or nerve bundle resonates to the same frequency in correspondence

with the notes of the Harmonic Scale.

Literally, you could say we all are Music; beating to the tune of our

own drum. Take a look at this chart and see how the anatomy of the

body meets each chakra and the musical note associated with it.

If the body is in a state of imbalance a variety of issues may surface.

One could even say we are manifesting these blockages with ourthoughts, but we can certainly use music to re-tune ourselves. It is a

simple as listening to our body talk.

How do you feel when you listen to different genres of music?

Why is it that fast tempo progressive metal rock, and its

subgenres like Screamo have such an ill-sided effect on our

temperament?

Not to generalize, but at concerts where this type of music is forefront,

crowds tend to form mosh pits, creating what is also called controlled

violence circle pits, usually found at the foot of the stage.

Participants in mosh pits, claim to utilize this particularly violent

outlet to show their love or appreciation of the music. Meanwhil

if we were to be graced with another Bob Marley or John Lennon

concert, their audiences were always found in a peaceful state, ofte

communing with other concert goers over their mutual love for the

artists performing.

If you nd that you feel off, take time to listen to how your bodyresponds to the music you most often choose to listen to. Remembe

that pure tonal sounds that resonate with the harmonic scale are

healing to the body and stimulate the energy centers listed in the

charts, resetting them into their natural state, ultimately putting you

ease. An easy way to pinpoint music that balances the bodys energ

centers is to look at the lyrics. Not to play up the puns, but most

often, the lyrics will denote and echo the energetic impact of the to

frequencies contained within any piece of music.

Therefore, you can quite literally re-tune your body with some of y

favourite songs. Go through your music library, check out the keys

which your favourite music was composed, pay close attention to t

lyrics and build yourself a dandy lil playlist of ditties that will hav

your body rocking to the tune of perfect pitch in body, mind and sp

Its that easy! For more on vibrational sound medicine, visit

therapy session.
