Breathe. Elevate. Heal. Podcast

Are you feeling low on energy due to chronic stress? 

Ancient cultures throughout time understood the importance of consuming high vibrational foods (natural and closest to the earth and sun) and how the food we eat affects our individual energy centers within the body and around the body. 

When the human energy field is disrupted it creates disharmony within the body, mind, and spirit and leads to illness and disease. 

Usually the human biofield (auric field) and the energy centers within the body can maintain its own balance and harmony however when there is a crisis, illness, chronic stress, trauma or disruption from unhealthy foods, chemicals, additives, drugs and medications these events constantly drain our energy centers.

This creates imbalance and disharmony in the energy field, the brain and the body which can significantly effect our personal well-being, our overall quality of living and even our personal health status.

In this episode Dr. K offers suggestions on high vibrational foods and ways to incorporate mindful eating and gratitude into your daily eating routine.

When we take care of our spiritual bodies like we do our physical bodies and tap into daily spiritual practice, our lives, health and well-being can change drastically for the better.

Reiki is life force energy that can bring you back to a state of balance and wholeness. Reiki is an evidence-based- Japanese healing technique for pain, stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing for the mind, body, soul and spirit in conjunction with traditional medicine. It is administered by "laying of the hands" on or slightly above the client's body. Reiki is based on the idea of an unseen and subtle "lifeforce energy" that flows through, within and around the human body.

When the 'lifeforce energy" is free and flowing, the individual feels a sense of vitality, health, wholeness and joy. When low or stagnant energy is present, the individual may suffer from depression, stress, fatigue and may be more susceptible to various illnesses and/or diseases of the mind and body.

Explore deep relaxation & healing through an in-person or distance Reiki session!

In the context of midlife, it is important to consider the various challenges that we all commonly experience on an everyday basis to our emotional well-being. Although a growing body of research addresses the relationships between stress, health, and quality of life, there is a gap in the literature with regard to the effects of emotional stress among women at midlife.
