GINA GINA - Tuesday, summer feels like it's here

TODAY: Healing Stones & Crystals

 It is said you can place crystals and certain gemstones on specific points of your body to bring relief. You can use specific color crystals for chakra healing and elevate your chi (life-energy), by placing the stones on the seven major chakra points. According to folklore, many gemstones are thought to have magical and mystical powers, and crystals have had a long tradition of being used for crystal healing. Each gemstone or crystal has its own unique internal structure which resonates at a certain frequency. The healing properties are said to be derived from this resonance. Gemstone and Crystal healing therapy is a non-invasive form of alternative healing.  These therapies work holistically to harmonize your mind, body and soul, helping us to have a feeling of wellness, neutralizing negativity, elevating our mood, helping us to feel whole again.

A few stones and their healing powers:
Amber: warms the soul, used for stress relieving and calming/found in Central America, the Caribbean and The Baltics
Amethyst: this is a primary healing stone, said to bring peace, balance and inner strength/found in Brazil, India and No. and So. America
Citrine: calming and relaxing, said to promote success and abundance/found in No. and So. America
Emerald: helps with insight and ability to see good in others/found in Brazil, Columbia and India
Garnet: helps you to concentrate on the details of life, promotes love and passion/found in Central Europe, Russia, Africa and the U.S.
Hematite: strengthens the blood and improves circulation/found in Australia, Brazil and U.S.
Jade: this is a stone of wisdom and prosperity/found in China and U.S.
Lapis: promotes self confidence, alleviate depression and insomnia/found in Central Asia and Pakistan
Onyx: super root chakra stone, brings about spiritual awareness, help overcome negative feelings/found in Brazil, Mexico and U.S.
Peridot: heart chakra, helps you to focus on the positive, promotes abundance and prosperity/found in Burma the the U.S.
Ruby: a protector of health, wealth and increase happiness/found in Thailand
Topaz: said to be one of the most powerful stones, helps to balance emotions, provide protection from greed, prevent procrastination/found in Brazil and Nigeria
Turquoise: this is a healing and balancing stone, considered to be a lucky stone, relief from anger/found in the southwest U.S. and Iran
Quartz: an all around healing stone, brings good luck/found in Brazil and the U.S.

There are no studies proving the therapeutic value of gemstone or crystal healing, however, they remain widely used in holistic, naturopathic, and spiritual settings. Many of these stones are used at New Age health clinics, health spas, in massage therapy and Reiki. Healing crystals and gemstones are beautiful and are used to create a relaxed atmosphere. They are believed to promote peace and tranquility.

In close:
there are so many books and articles out there, one could get lost for days and days reading about the healing properties of crystals and gemstones.  Personally, I believe because everything vibrates at a specific frequency, that using crystals or gemstones to help heal, bring about abundance and many other things, is not far fetched.

be well and have a beautiful day...

GINA GINA - 108 degrees this weekend, already

TODAY: a few words of encouragement

Dream your dreams and make them big, don't be afraid to ask of the world........ it is only when we put out that thought, that dream, that wish, that the world can reciprocate to us. If we don't ask, then we can't receive. The power of a thought, dream or wish coming true, lies within ourselves. Be bold, speak up and then don't be too surprised when it all comes to fruition.

Have a beautiful evening.......

WELLNESS and you.....Wednesday, cloudy and beautiful

TODAY: Body Alkaline, for spring, for life

Spring is here and what better time to start getting mentally and physically in shape for the summer ahead. While were are doing that, might as well work on getting our body alkaline. We live with typically acidic insides, this is unhealthy and stressful on our internal organs. Living with an acidic body opens us up to disease and illness, getting our bodies alkaline can help us in living a balanced healthy lifestyle.

There are many ways to get alkaline, these are just a few:

*Drink water with a 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon. Lemon itself is acidic, however, in the body it becomes alkaline and is a fabulous way to quench you thirst, too.......

*Go outside in the evening or the morning, listen to the world as you take deep breaths,
.........5 counts in, feel the air fill up the lungs and then all the way into the lower belly,
.........hold for 3 counts
.........5 counts out, as you exhale, push out all of the air, from the lower belly and up thru the lungs
.........Repeat at least 10 times
.........while you do this, imagine when you breath in your entire body filling up with all that is good, into every cell inside you, as you hold your breath imagine the pure air healing everything inside of you, then as you exhale imagine releasing, from every cell, all the that is not good..... release it completely...

*Take a brisk walk, or get some exercise

*eat your veggies, dark greens especially

In close: there are many more ways to alkaline our bodies, pick one that resonates with you and practice it on a daily basis (if it resonates with you, then you will be more likely to do it regularly)........ the benefits of getting your body alkaline are fabulous, your skin and eyes and health in general will appreciate it.

Make it a beautiful evening......

GINA GINA - Friday.........have a great Friday night

TODAY:  Deep Breathing

Pay attention to the way you are breathing, right now...... are you breathing deep enough?????
Most of us are shallow breathers......... and because society loves a flat stomach, most of us walk around holding our stomachs in, this in turn causes us to shallow breath and not allow the air to reach fully into your chest, lungs and down deep into the lower belly.........  Shallow breathing has an adverse affect on our health..... it allows the build up of stress and can contribute to anxiety and depression. When emotions run high and your feeling out of sorts, you are also most likely to shallow breath at this time (when you just need a few deep breaths). Deep breathing fresh air is also a way to alkaline your body.

Deep breathing could be one of the simplest way to improve your health. You can reclaim your physical and mental health by practicing deep breathing exercises. They will help you to overcome negative emotions and possibly even physical pain. Deep breathing is a trade of incoming oxygen for the outgoing carbon dioxide.........

The benefits of deep breathing are awesome:
Your body will release up to 70% of its toxins through breathing. Deep breathing is a way to oxygenate the brain, thus releasing tension, relaxing the mind and body, bringing about clarity. It can help strengthen the immune system, increase digestion and assimilation of food, strengthens the lungs and makes the heart stronger. Deep breathing is also oxygenating all of the cells in your body, it can increase muscle, improve posture and improve cellular regeneration. You can elevate your mood, increase your energy level and improve your stamina. Deep breathing can also assist you in weight control. The process of deep breathing helps increase the circulation of the lymphatic fluid which can speed up recovery after an illness. Your nervous system is calmer, your physical appearance is better and emotionally you will feel better. The process of deep breathing will help you to lower your blood pressure and release endorphins, which improves the feeling of well-being.

How to Deep Breath:
Deep breathing, when done properly, is when you breathe deeply into your abdomen (not just your chest). The exercises should be slow, rhythmic, deep, in through the nose and out through the mouth. You can do the exercise standing or lying down, make sure you allow yourself to be free from all other distractions and relax:

1. inhale through the nose, filling your chest and then expanding the breath into your belly, count to 5 on the inhale. Feel the goodness of the oxygen entering into every cell in your body, as you breath in
2. hold the breath for a count of 3
3. exhale through your mouth, counting slowly to 5, exhaling from your lower belly, through your lungs, all the way up and out, feel your entire body releasing the old energy, releasing any negative feelings and thoughts, too
4. repeat several times, and even several times a day (you can not deep breathe enough)

In close:
Deep breathing should be a practice we all indulge in. You can do it in bed, at your desk at work, on a walk, just about anytime, anywhere. Try to create a routine for yourself and practice deep breathing daily. The benefits are amazing and it's free.

Deeply breathe in the wonders of this beautiful world and enjoy.........

GINA GINA on - Wednesday and it is beautiful, hopes it's beautiful where ever your at, too

TODAY: "a second" "a deep breath" and then just "let it go"

I know most of us would like to live, everyday, in a positive way.......... and I believe we can. I try to, every morning, when I wake up, every night, when I go to bed and several times during the day, to take a few minutes (or even seconds) for positive affirmation, raising my own vibration of energy. This doesn't mean I will never be bothered by anything, or never get upset, but when times are trying or difficult, being able to take a deep breath and remember I am the maker of my own space, knowing that the thoughts I think, the words I say, will be the energy that surrounds me and  I'll have to live with, definitely makes it easier to not let those moments get to me (not for long, anyhow)..... instead I make a concentrated effort to "just let it go" and before I know it everything seems to be alright, again.

One night, a couple of months ago, there was a shooting, right here, barely 50 yards from the front door to my "Positive Living" boutique....... a 26 year old man was shot in a road rage incident and later died at the hospital. He had 2 kids in the back seat when it happened.......... I wonder if the shooter (who, I don't believe has been caught, yet) new the kids were there and would he have even cared? It's so sad those kids will now have to grow up without a father, and over what???  Things like this happen everyday, everywhere, but they don't have to. This world is big enough for all of us to live in and in a positive way. If someone makes you angry or does something that makes you want to lose you temper, remember "you are your own keeper", don't let their actions or misdeeds determine the energy field that will surround you and you'll have to live in. Give yourself the second and take a deep breath and then just "let it go", what ever it is...........imagine if the gunman, who got so ticked off at "something???", and then ultimately killed a young man, imagine if he had "JUST LET IT GO", those kids would still have their father and the gunman would not now be a murderer.

So remember the next time life (someone or something) wants to get to you, give yourself "that second" to remember, then take the "deep breath",  and then "just let it go"............ there is nothing more important than keeping yourself in check and maintaining your positive energy within........... positive living is right here for anyone to have.......... everyday.......... all day......... all we have to do is "make it so".

Have an awesome evening, do something kind for a stranger (it feels good)........

Lucy Blu
for: positive living in sin city

Tuesday.......it feels like summer

TODAY: a few words.........a positive affirmation

If I think and then it's so, then I will only think positive thoughts
If the energy around me is the same energy I put out, then I will only put out positive energy

We are the deciders of our own lives.......... don't wait for someone else to lift you up, raise your own vibration and lift yourself up.........

We have choices, try to make them good ones

Have a beautiful evening

Wellness - Thursday...Happy May 1st

TODAY:  Energy Cleansing

Energy Cleansing is something you can do for yourself or your environment (home, office). Today I am going to discuss Energy Cleansing of yourself. The act of cleansing is not about fixing or changing anything. Energy, in general, wants to move about, but if we feel stressed or traumatized, most of us have the tendency to emotionally tighten up, trapping emotional energy inside of us, energy that would otherwise naturally wants to be released. When we trap these emotions on the inside, we are fixing those energies to our own energy field. In some way, to some degree, we all do this. We hold onto thoughts, perceptions or misconceptions, either consciously or unconsciously. In order to release these energies, we need to purposefully do so. We need to become aware of what it is we are holding onto and why, we need to to this consciously. Once we recognize the negative energy within, it is quite easy to then give it up, as a matter of fact it will become almost automatic. Once we have determined what the disturbing feelings lie within, we can then release them and replace them with positve thoughts of peace, tranquility, love and worthiness. This energy cleansing time is one that you should be kind and gentle with yourself, through, you can start with the act of forgiveness from within, be present in unconditional love of who you are and enjoy the peace and calm that remains. Unwind those beliefs of limitation in their early stages, before they have manifested in your physical body. Those manifestations, if gone uncleared and uncleansed, can lead to disease (dis - ease), an imbalance of your emotions and many other debilitating problems.The more you can understand and witness your own despair, discomfort or negative feelings, the quicker they will be released from you. It is only in the recognition of these feelings that we are able to let them go and thus cleanse our own energy. Have you ever seen someone that looks like they don't have a problem in the world, well, it's not because they don't have any problems, it's probably because they let things go, they don't hold the stresses and circumstances of life, within. You can do this to, with effort and allowing the beauty of life to fill you, replacing negative emotions or long held negative beliefs with the thought of "I am loved", "I am worthy",  "I forgive", you are allowing your mind and soul to heal. Opening your heart and thoughts to the truth of who you are, you can experience trust and unconditional love of yourself, your energy will be cleansed.

There are many ways to energy cleanse, it's best to be alone without distraction, have a special place that is not cluttered with lots of things (a cluttered space is a cluttered mind), create a prayer and say it, this will allow you to settle into the cleanse and then do things like: chanting or using a mantra; listening to healing music and allowing the vibrations to overtake your being; burning incense cleanses the air you breathe while meditating (use an all natural incense or sage). When you are in your special place acknowledge the negative energies you've been holding onto and then let them go.

In close: The process of Energy Cleansing will get easier every time you do it. The more you Energy Cleanse, purposefully, the less negative energies will you hold onto, the less negative energies you have within, the more abundant and beautiful your life will be.

Have a blessed evening........

GINA GINA - Tuesday and windy

Today:  Alkaline your body

I've heard that you can increase your energy,  keep off extra pounds, slow down the aging process, sleep better and even lower your risk for disease, such as arthritis and cancer........... How? .......... By keeping your body "alkaline"............ so much of the food and beverages we consume are highly acidic, from artificial sweeteners, to coffee, to processed foods and the list goes on and on. 

If we want to take control and get more alkaline, there are many ways to do it: get more veggies into your diet, add spices like cinnamon (which is wonderful alkalizing spice) or ginger, lay off the desserts and sodas (as a matter of fact lay off the sugar laden foods), eat unsalted almonds, try going meat free for just a day (there is acid residue left behind during the metabolism of meat), take a walk, get outside and breath some fresh air. These are all good ways and there are dozens of others but the ONE I want to talk about today is adding "Fresh Lemons" to your daily diet.

Lemons..... it sounds like it would be an acidic food, and on their own they are, but inside the body, when they metabolized, they are alkaline. Lemon water can do many things to improve ones health. Start your day with a large glass of water (warm preferably) and add to it a 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon. It's incredibly simple and the benefits are simply amazing. Lemon water not only works to PH balance (alkaline) your body, but it will boost you immune system, they are high in Vitamin C and potassium (Vitamin C for fighting off colds, clearer skin, decrease wrinkles and blemishes and potassium helps control blood pressure and stimulate brain and nerve function). Lemons are not only high in vitamins, but minerals, too and they aid in digestion and purging toxins from the body. Drinking lemon water can also help with weight loss, lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps to fight off hunger cravings, also, a more alkaline diet can help you to lose weight faster.

So if you don't do anything else to Alkaline your body, at least try to drink a glass of "fresh lemon water" daily.......... your body will become more ALKALINE, and you will see and feel the difference.

have a great evening........

GINA GINA - Thursday, and so beautiful

TODAY: Coconut Oil

 I know of only one beauty product that is said to be a "cure-all" (almost), that product is coconut oil. Coconut oil is not only GREAT to cook with or ingest, but it is also used for everything from moisturizing dry skin and hair, to being a wonderful breath freshener and I've even heard deodorant. Coconut Oil is antibacterial and anti fungal, when ingested it goes to work: 1) having therapeutic effects on certain brain disorders with its medium chain triglycerides 2) the way its broken down in the body, coconut oil ingested can kill harmful pathogens and fight infections of bacteria and fungus 3) it can help reduce hunger pains and is said to help reduce fat in the body (especially in the abdominal area). Coconut Oil is used topically: 1) as a body lotion 2) is great for your cuticles 3) as a makeup remover 4) and to clean your makeup brushes 5) used for stretch marks 6) as a conditioner for hair (leave in overnight for deep condition) 7) add some baking soda to it and you have a great teeth whitener 8) use as a Body Oil, Massage Oil and even shaving balm. This is just a small list of the many, many uses for Coconut Oil.

In close: Next time you go to the supermarket, buy yourself a jar of Kitchen Coconut Oil (I say kitchen, that way you can eat it as well all of the topical uses), then, go crazy experimenting on all the fabulous, different ways you can incorporate this awesome oil into your daily life.

have a wonderful evening...

Wellness - Wednesday...summer's on its way

TODAY: Sole (So-lay)

I believe it very important to ph balance the body, it's good for our health. One way to get alkaline is by taking Sole, once a day, everyday.

What is Sole:
Sole is a mixture of water and crystal salt (I use Himalayan Salt and Spring Water or a good Artesian Water. Himalayan Crystal Salt is the purest salt on Earth, it is over 250 million years old and is absolutely uncontaminated, without any toxins or pollutants)

The Salt Misunderstanding:
Salt is NOT bad for us. As a matter of fact, we cannot live without salt. The human body consists of primarily 2 elements......water and salt...... HOWEVER, regular table salt is a problem, it has been fired at 1500 degrees, chemically cleaned and processed, and left without the trace minerals and elements that naturally occur in UNREFINED salt, leaving us with inorganic salt, that our bodies will not digest, it is like poison to our bodies.
Unrefined salt (like Himalayan Salt) is unprocessed and is just like the sodium that occurs naturally in the body, with 84 natural elements and minerals....... it is essential to our daily lives and definitely good for us.

The benefits of Sole:
Sole is wonderful, I take it everyday. It helps to balance the body's pH and get rid of heavy metals. It is rich in vital minerals, improves digestion and cleans your intestines. Sole has a calming effect on the entire nervous system and can improve your quality of sleep, it helps in the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells. It has Chromium, Zinc and Iodine, which will help to give you a more beautiful, clear skin and help heal skin disease by cleaning from the inside out.. It will help normalize the blood pressure and balance your blood sugar levels. Sole acts as a natural antihistamine, clearing up congestion in your sinuses and can aid in weight loss, too. It can prevent muscle cramps, varicose veins and is vital for maintaining your libido, and if taken on a daily basis, builds electrolytes inside.

So in close:
Understand your body and the importance of keeping it alkaline. Adding a teaspoon of Sole first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything, will help alkaline you and keep you healthy and disease free.*

To Make Himalayan Salt Sole:
In a glass jar (with NO metal rim or lid, metal de-ionizes the salt) place Himalayan Salt (chunks or grain) and fill with a good spring water. Let sit for 24 hours (to insure optimal saturation level, there should always be salt in the bottom of the jar, if it is all dissolved, add more salt). Your Sole is now ready....... take one (1) teaspoon on an empty stomach, daily (mix with water, if you need to, and drink), you will soon notice the beneficial changes.

Have a wonderful evening........ remember the thoughts we think and the words we speak, are the energies we live in......... have only good thoughts and speak only kind words.

Today: Our "VERY IMPORTANT" Skin

Did you know the largest organ of our body is our "Skin".  It protects us against pathogens, regulates our body temperature between hot and cold, protects our inner organs. Our skin is waterproof, so essential nutrients are not washed out, and is a natural pathway for Vitamin D, it detoxifies the body thru perspiration and protects against viruses and bacterias. Our skin has been called "the third kidney" because it is so important to eliminating waste and toxins from our bodies.

Skin is a "living organism"........so we need to nourish it. One square inch of human skin consists of 19,500,000 cells, 60,000 melanocytes (pigment), 90 oil glands, 19 feet of blood vessels, 650 sweat glands,  more than 1,000 nerve endings and19,000 sensory cells(*). Our skin is a magnificent organ that needs to be attended to. So now maybe you'll agree that it is NOT superficial to care so much about what our skin looks like. Treat your skin good, use ingredients like "all natural botanicals" and if scented, make sure it is scented with pure essential oils.  Read labels and choose good products that will address the real health of you and your skin.

From the beginning of the day, to the end of the evening, incorporate skin products that will nourish your skin on a cellular level. Make sure the products you choose are skin-permeable and can deliver its nutrients deep into the dermis (not all products do!!!). Make sure the products you choose will help you achieve the best results. The absorption rate of any product you use depends on the "molecule size" and its "solubility" (know your product, or, buy from reputable mixologists or aromatherapists....I carry in my boutique "Madlyn Rose" and "Malie" they're awesome)

Dry Brushing your skin is a great way to detoxify (daily). Dry Brushing (DB) helps clean the lymph system (considered part of our immune system, detoxification occurs first through the lymph, we have more lymph than we do blood). DB helps us to shed dead skin cells, improving skin texture and cell renewal. It strengthens the immune system by stimulating the lymph vessels to drain toxins. DB  tightens skin by increasing blood flow, tones muscles by stimulating nerve endings, causing muscle fibers to activate and move. It helps stimulate circulation by allowing our skin to breath (ridding it of dead skin cells).

Our Skin needs to be cleaned, balanced and given lots of nutrition, daily........... don't skimp on the products you put onto your skin.  Remember, our skin is the "last" to receive the nutrients we ingest, however, it is the "first" to show an imbalance or deficiency.

In close, healthy skin will contribute to your overall  body health, so treat it good:)

GINA GINA Tuesday.....and a beautiful tuesday it is

TODAY: forgive, forget, move on, give it time and everything will be alright

........a gentleman owned a wellness center, as a matter of fact he had owned several of them, he had Reiki Masters, Ayurvedic Estheticians, Massage Therapists and many other employees of the wellness world that worked for him, at his businesses........for many years........some of them 15-20 years.........he got into some financial trouble and overnight he was shut down, he lost his businesses and all the people that worked there lost their place to practice their crafts........... he was very sad at what had happened, he felt bad about all that took place and the difficulties it was placing on all those people that worked for him...... an unfortunate thing to happen, I'm sure he didn't want to lose his businesses and livelihood, he had a family, wife and kids, so he understood how this was going to affect those around him, and like I said, he felt bad, but it was what it was and there wasn't anything he could do.......... here's the sad part........ many of those people that worked for him started lashing out at him, to his face, on the internet, what ever way they could...... mind you, we are talking about people in the "wellness industry", Reiki Masters and alike, many of them he had considered friends, most of them had been with him for years........... not one person reached out to him........... not one of those "wellness industry" people said "don't worry we'll find another place to work, it will all be okay, take care of your family, don't worry"....... not one person could find it in their heart to help a man that was down and out, even though he had given them a place to work, for many of them their entire career as these "wellness practitioners"....... and not one of them was capable of raising their own vibration, to take the high road and lift some of the weight off his back, not one...... a week after he was closed down, one week of hearing all these people lash out at him because they felt they were done wrong, he went to his favorite hiking trail and took his life......... I cried when I heard this story, I couldn't believe that not one person in his life could tell him "things will be alright, give it time, your wife loves you, your kids love you and I  thank you for giving me a place to practice my craft of wellness"........ now he's gone and those same people that lashed out at him are feeling sorry for themselves, saying things like "I guess I shouldn't have", "I wish I could have", "if I had known I would have"

Well, I don't believe in "should of, could of, would of"..... if that was the case, then why didn't they.......... if just one of those "wellness people" had practiced in real life what they were charging other people to have (reiki clarity, ayurvedic wellness etc. etc.) that man could very well still be alive. Maybe he just needed someone to say "I forgive you, let's forget this and all move on", he might then still be alive.

In close: no matter how wrongly you think someone has done you, no matter what your impression of a situation is........... remember, we are all creatures of this beautiful Earth, we all breath the same air, we all need water and food to live, and we all, from time to time, will need someone to forgive us, forget what it was that happened and just move on.......... don't be the reason, someone that is in a desperate and alone moment, takes their own life......... be the reason of hope and encouragement........ be the one that steps up and says "everything will be alright, just give it some time"

Be thoughtful and kind, always...........

GINA GINA Wednesday........cloudy and beautiful

TODAY: a few words........ a positive affirmation

I recognize,  if I don't pay attention to all the moments I am given, this world will move on and do so without me...... if I'm not paying attention, precious moments can sneak up on me fast and then be gone just as quickly.......... if I don't pay attention, I could miss out on the smallest of details of something and maybe the most important detail of what is passing by.......paying attention and opening my eyes and soul to all the moments I am gifted will help me to be in the moment, help me gain deeper experiences and meanings of those moments and give me opportunity to soak them in, for all they have to offer....... if I don't pay attention those moments, they will slip on by me, without me ever really getting the chance to be in them, maybe not even know they existed in the first place..........
I will pay attention to all the precious moments in time I am given, I will treat them with the respect they deserve.......... Life will not pass me by without me experiencing all of it, the good and the other..........

In close: make good use of all your moments in time, they are precious and there is never enough.

Have a beautiful evening.........

TODAY: Positive Thinking, there is power......

Positive thinking is a wonderful and easy way to improve yourself, improve your health, manage the stresses of life and ultimately improve both your physical and emotional wellness.

Positive thinking is not not facing the struggles in life, or turning a blind eye to events that need your attention, it is quite the opposite. Positive thinking will help you to achieve balance in your life and face those struggles with a good attitude, an "I can do this" attitude, positive thinking can help you to look a problem straight into  the eye and solve it without having those overwhelming sensations of negativity. Positive thinking is not putting on a smile for the world on the outside and being dark on the inside, it is being bright from the inside out, then that smile for the world comes out naturally, without stressing yourself on a cellular level. We are all constantly tossing thoughts around in our heads, we should make an effort that those thoughts are in a positive format. Even when dealing with unpleasant subjects, they can be made easier if we think of them positively, solutions to problems will come to you easier, if you think about it in a positive manner. Positive thinking is something we can all practice and ultimately become proficient at. Imagine the world if everyone was a "positive thinker".

There are many health benefits that come along with positive thinking, too. We all know "stress kills", positive thinking can help to lower stress levels and lower blood pressure and the heart rate, so in turn this can increase your life. Positive thinking helps to strengthen the immune system, your resistance to catching colds and flus will be increased. It only makes since, too, that if you condition yourself to think in a positive manner, the likeliness of depression is lowered and those feelings of distress won't be able to take hold, positive thinking can lead to better mental and physical well being.

We should all try to keep our minds moving in a positive direction, it's not always easy and sometimes it's down right hard, but in the long run it is so worth it, before you know it, you won't even have to try, you'll just naturally be a positive thinker......

In close: Until you are naturally a "positive thinker", work at it, put your best foot forward, make the effort, life might just get a whole lot easier if you try..........

TODAY: Procrastination

I wish I could say I never procrastinate, but I do, not on everything, usually on the things I least want to do (right?)........... right now that's my taxes......... I wanted them to be out by the end of January, then for sure by the end of February, finally, absolutely by the end of March, and what am I doing right now........... you got it, my taxes, hopefully they will be out by tomorrow night......... I'll let you know..........

In close: if I had not procrastinated and finished them by my first finish date, or 2nd, at least by my last, I would now have no stress, no worries, no "I gotta get this done now" feeling......... procrastination, sucks, I'm adding it to my "new years resolutions"....... I for sure won't be here next year:)

Hope you've done your taxes and can enjoy the evening (even if you haven't, enjoy your evening... pick up tomorrow where you left off today).......

TODAY: the "Laws of Nature", let them be

If we don't force an issue and let it work itself out, chances are it will work itself out and probably go the right way, too. From time to time, the "Laws of Nature" want to dictate what direction we should go. If we fight them, we ultimately spend a lot of time spinning our wheels and probably end up doing things the way the "Laws of Nature" intended them to go in the first place.........

In close: don't fight the "Laws of Nature" in life, move with them, adjust with their twists and turns, it is so much easier on our bodies (on a cellular level)......NO STRESS and let it be..........

Have a peaceful evening......

TODAY:  Melaleuca Essential Oil (Tea Tree Oil)....an Essential, Essential Oil

Melaleuca Essential Oil or Tea Tree Oil has been around since it was discovered to have antiseptic properties, back in Captain Cooks day. It has become a standard treatment for the prevention and treatment of infections and wounds. Melaleuca E.O. properties are: Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral, Anti-infectious, Anti-inflammatory, it is an Antioxidant and Antiseptic, Melaleuca helps the digestive system and works as a decongestant, it is an Antiparasitic and used as an Insecticide, it is a stimulant and also works as a Regenerative on your tissue.

Melaleuca is great for acne, dandruff, it supports the immune system, and in a 4% dilution is said to be effective for mouth and gum problems (**CAUTION).  It is used for allergies, ear infections, sunburns, ringworm and cavities, coughs and ear infections. Put Melaleuca Essential Oil right on a new acne break out, it's amazing. Try mixing a few drops with distilled water in a spritz and take it with you everywhere to freshen up, disinfect or deodorize almost anything (CAUTION don't use on pets) It is also a wonderful essential oil to diffuse into the air. Remember, as with all good essential oils, they are powerful, so when in doubt or unsure, use a good carrier oil to dilute it, my favorite is Coconut Oil (which is really good in and of itself).

In close: so this was the last of my Essential, Essential Oil list.......lets review:
*Lavender *Chamomile *Rosemary *Lemon *Peppermint *Geranium *Melaleuca *and my personal favorite Frankincense

Monday.....my 50th post:)

TODAY: Body Alkaline, for spring

Spring is here and what better time to start getting mentally and physically in shape for the summer ahead. While you are doing that, work on getting your body alkaline. We live with typically acidic insides, that is unhealthy and stressful on our internal organs. Living with an acidic body opens you up to disease and illness, getting body alkaline can help you to live a balanced healthy lifestyle.

There are many ways to get alkaline, these are just a few:

*Drink water with a 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon. Lemon itself is acidic, however, in the body it becomes alkaline and is a fabulous way to quench you thirst, too.......

*Go outside in the evening or the morning, listen to the world as you take deep breaths,
.........5 counts in, as you feel the air fill you up, all the way into your lower belly
.........hold for 3 counts
.........5 counts out, as you exhale, pushing out all of the air, from the lower belly, up thru the lungs
.........Repeat at least 10 times
.........and while you do this, imagine when you breath in your entire body filling up with all that is good, into every cell in you, as you hold your breath imagine the pure air healing everything inside of you, then as you exhale imagine releasing from every cell, all that is not good, release it completely...

*Take a brisk walk, get some exercise

*eat your veggies, dark greens especially

In close: there are many more ways to alkaline our bodies, too, pick one that resonates with you and practice it on a daily basis........ the benefits are fabulous, your skin and eyes and health in general will appreciate it.

Have a beautiful evening.......

Thursday......the first day of Spring

TODAY: The March Equinox (spring for us in the Northern Hemisphere)

Equinox, means "Equal Night", this occasion occurs twice a year, March and September. The March Equinox is around March 20th and sometimes 21st. This Equinox is the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the Southern Hemisphere. It is thought of by many to be a time of renew and rebirth.  Many people and religions celebrate holidays at this time, such as Easter and Passover. Hundreds of years ago, people celebrated the Spring Equinox with giving thanks for the restoring of their food supplies. The March equinox is that moment when the sun lines up with the celestial equator, from north to south. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun rises earlier and sets later. Flowers, crops and plants are all in bloom and we get to start basking in the warmer days of spring and look forward to the long nights of summer.

Happy Spring........make it great........

TODAY: Aries

This is the first of the zodiac signs and as so, Aries tend to lead the way. Aries are born between March 21st and April 20th, their planetary ruler is Mars. In general Aries are full of life and tend to be independent, adventurous, ambitious and impulsive. The Aries can be quite serious and intense when the topic resonates with them. With deep and analytical minds they make good leaders, but not so much a follower, they love their freedom and welcome a good challenge.

The symbol for the Aries is the Ram. Powerful and strong, asserting itself to climb the highest mountains just to see what it has to offer. Though the personality of an Aries is strong, they sometimes have inner esteem issues, so driven for success, failures seem much bigger than they are. Aries are said to be direct and typically positive people,  but can also be rigid and have a bad temper , they are prone to making rash decisions and can be manipulating. Individuals born under the Aries sign will work hard to make life happen, they would much rather participate than be a spectator. They like excitement and will push hard for the adrenalin high. The Aries tends to be passionate about life and inspirational to others.

In close: Happy Astrological Birthday to all those Aries out there. This is your month, make it a great one.

*CAUTION: essential oils are powerful, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask a physician

     

Lemon is one of natures most versatile fruits, and because of its high vitamin C content, antibacterial and astringent properties, lemon is the de facto garnish in herbal teas. Lemon is used in herbal medicine to help build immunity against colds, influenza, and other viral infections. In her classic work, Grieve tells us lemon is a good astringent to use in gargles for sore throats as wise women well know. Lemon is very effective for disinfecting and cleaning household surfaces, and leaves a fresh clean scent.(2) Adding a simple slice of lemon to water not only improves taste, it provides citric acid, purifies the water, and balances Ph levels.

Lemons are an old standby for home beauty treatments. Lemon and lemon oil help to prevent wrinkles while adding a refreshing note in facial washes and masks. Applying lemon juice to facial blemishes is another popular home remedy for treating acne. Putting lemon juice on your hair and then lying in the sun was how a country girl went about getting highlights in my youth. Lemon is very astringent which is why is works so well, but also why you have to be careful not to use so much that the end result is dry, flaky skin and hair. Lemon essential oil can be used for many of the same applications as fresh lemons, without being quite as drying. Fresh lemons are becoming so expensive, especially during the winter months, that lemon essential oil may be the better bargain as well.

Lemon essential oil benefits you in good ways – it helps you stay sharp & alert plus it cleanses, sanitizes and minimizes skin oiliness

On days when you just can’t crawl out of bed when the alarm clock rings, this is the remedy.

A whiff of lemon essential oil is like slicing through a gorgeous lemon, picked fresh off the tree. The burst of fragrance is strong, fresh and lively.

That’s why I call lemon essential oil the scent of a happy day! Nothing beats its clean and vibrant scent to keep you alert the entire day.

I love this scent and inhale it during the day especially when I’m working on the computer and need tons of concentration!

The cultivation, harvesting, and distillation processes of each batch of essential oils are carefully controlled. Young Living has a strict Seed to Seal process that they adhere to strictly when producing their essential oils and this starts from the farms. The essential oils are derived from plants grown in US (Whispering Springs Farm, St Maries & Highland Flats Tree Farm – Utah & Idaho), Ecuador (Guayaquil), Oman (Salalah) and France (Simiane-la-Rotonde).

Once harvested, the plants are distilled using a proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure steam distillation process to ensure beneficial plant compounds in every batch of essential oil remain uncompromised. These oils then undergo stringent lab testing at the company’s own labs and third party audits to verify that each bottle of essential oil meets purity and potency standards.

If you apply lemon or any other citrus essential oil on your body, remember that you should not expose your skin to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light within 72 hours.

Lemon Essential Oil: Benefits & Uses

This essential oil isn’t just for inhalation or aromatherapy but it can also be taken – just add 2-3 drops of lemon essential oil into a glass of water! (Caution: Not all brands of lemon essential oils can be ingested. With Young Living, you can.)

Combine 2–3 drops of lemon essential oil with water in a spray bottle to help cleanse and sanitize surfaces. This works well too for sanitizing your children’s toys.

Massage a drop of lemon essential oil onto oily skin or blemishes to help balance oil glands and minimize oil production.

Soothe corns, calluses, or bunions by rubbing lemon essential oil on the affected area morning and evening.

Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.

Massage lemon essential oil into areas of your body with cellulite to help improve circulation and eliminate waste from cells.

Doing some more research on it today I learn that lemon essential oils is:
1. Antioxidant

4. Anticancer

And that is pretty good! It has so many uses:
1. It can help with allergies
2. It can help reduce stress and relieve depression
3. It can be used for cold sores
4. You can use it as a disinfectant
5. It can help relieve constipation
