Episode Notes:

Hello and welcome to Episode #7 where we will be talking all about food.

First though, I want to pose this question - Is there a way with energy healing to make the foods you eat healthier, no matter what you are eating.

There is so much conflicting information about healthy food and diets, who knows what to eat anymore.

But did you know there are things you can do to make any food you eat healthier for you? I’ll share ways to do this with your energy.

You won’t want to miss it if you like to cook.

But first, I want to tell you a cute story of what I did a few weeks ago that I loved. Who out there has stink bugs around their house. We had massive amounts of them all over our house.

Even in the winter, a few would show up each day in the house, and I had to get rid of them.

We figured we would get an exterminator to get rid of them once they really started showing up when it got warm.

Last summer, they were all over the outside of our house so I didn’t want this to happen again this year.

So you know what I did.

A few weeks ago, when the weather started changing, I started to see more of them around the house.

And I was thinking to myself, what if I did a little healing on the house to get rid of those nasty bugs.

Why not. It couldn’t hurt.

And that is the beauty of energy healing. It only takes a short amount of time, I didn’t have to buy anything or go anywhere

So I did a healing. Took literally five minutes.

And you know what. We have no stink bugs around our house anymore.

Maybe it was the healing, maybe not. I tend to think it was. But it sure didn’t hurt anything, and might of helped.

Oh, and after the stink bugs came, we started to get ants. Those little critters must have scared away by the stink bugs.

But after I saw a few of them crawling around, I did another healing on the house for the ants.

Voila, they were gone.

That’s pretty cool.

Maybe in one of my next podcasts I will devote a whole segment on ways to get rid of pests with energy healing.

I can’t get enough of this stuff.

I love it.

But now, onto food.

I want to change your relationship with food. If you do this, there is a healing affect. Change the way you look at food. In America, the media has ruined it for us when it comes to eating. Eat this, don’t eat that, do this, don’t do that. Combine your foods this way, don’t eat foods that way.) Americans are so obsessed with food and diets.)

And the funny thing is, we aren’t any healthier than any other countries. In fact, more than a 1/3 of our population in the US are obese.

Wow, that is terrible, and bad news for the children growing up.

I don’t know about you, but it is confusing out there with talk about food. It’s information overload about what to eat, is it healthy for you, should you eat protein, fats, carbs, eat less, eat more, eat raw, so many options.

From day to day I get conflicting information. Someone says eating all protein and meat is healthy for you, then someone else says go vegan.

Who can keep up!!

Now, I’m not advocating that you don’t watch your diet. I think it is essential to living healthy. But I am not an expert nutritionist, so talking about foods is not my thing. I would say to customize your diet to fit your needs. Some people respond positively to high protein diet, that's great. Eat that.

Someone else responds better to a vegan diet, that’s great. Eat that way. Inherently, I think you know what to eat that makes you feel good or healthy. Keep eating that way.

Your body will tell you if what you are eating is good for you or not. Do you feel logy after eating one type of meal?

Do you feel hungry shortly after eating a meal?

Do you have a lot of energy after eating this meal.? That would be good; you want this.

Did you wake up feeling hungry or tired after a meal like the one you ate last night?

Did you have aches or pains, or heartburn after a meal, or bloating?

These are the types of questions to ask yourself after eating a meal to determine which foods to eat.

Of course, in episode #2, I showed you a technique that can tap into your subconscious mind to ask questions about yourself. And what to eat is a great way to use this technique. You would be able to test for yourself which foods to eat.

But I want to get beyond the diet, and being a student of energy medicine and energy healing, I look at things differently than a lot of other people.

And really, this podcast isn’t about what you should eat or shouldn’t. I’ll leave that to nutritional experts.

I look at diet and eating from an energy standpoint and ask myself, is there anything I can do to my food to energize it for healing.

Remember, you don’t have to be sick to need healing. If you pay attention and keep healing each day, you hopefully won’t ever get sick or at least not as much or as sever

So is there something you can do to make your food more healthy?

The answer I found is definitely yes!

There are.

Here’s a little story. This is a true story.

There was a shaman who was with a friend, and they were really hungry.

The man didn’t want to take his shaman friend to a burger joint, because he thought the shaman would think less of him eating a such an unhealthy place.

But it was the only thing open and around at the time, so he said, Do you want a burger, thinking of all this heart attack food.

The shaman said yes, it sounds good to him.

So they go in, and the man said, "I’m surprise you eat this stuff. It’s not good for you. Aren’t you worried about the cheese and meat and bread?"

The shaman said, not at all. He loves hot dogs and eats a chili dog every morning for breakfast.

He said, it’s not the food that is dangerous, It’s what you think about the food that makes it vulnerable.

He went on to explain that before he eats anything, he says I love you, I love you to his food. If there is anything I am bringing into this situation that would cause this food to be unhealthy, It’s not the food; it’s not even myself. It's something in my mind that is triggering this thought. And I let it go.

Then he goes on to enjoy his food because now it is clean.

When I read that many years ago, it really stuck with me. It changed the way I look at food.

So then I started looking if there were other ways to make your food more healthy with energy. And I was amazed that there are things you can do with energy, which means you use your mind and life force to make your food better to eat.

Granted, I’m not saying go and eat so unhealthy because you can change things with your mind. This guy was a shaman; he was experienced in mind control and energy healing.

Wow, that would be great if our thoughts were that powerful too.

But you know, they are. Unfortunately, here is the key. If you have a history of thinking things are one way, like hot dogs are bad for your health because you’ve been told that since you were young, it will be unhealthy for you. And it’s not that easy undoing those beliefs.

Those beliefs can be cemented into your subconscious mind.

So you need to clean out that subconscious mind in its perception of food to change your relationship with your meals.

And how do you clean out the subconscious mind, with repetition. The more you begin to change your thoughts about your food to a more positive image of it, the more you will squeeze out the bad images of your food in your subconscious mind. Eventually, your subconscious mind will be filled with healthy images of your food.

And that brings me to my first point.

Perception is reality.

Your perception of food is so important, and the thoughts you project onto your food has a dramatic impact on the foods you eat.

Your thoughts are powerful.

Here is what I mean.

When I eat a meal, I am not thinking about how terrible it is for me to the food.

That would just project negative frequencies on to the food.

From the moment you were born, your beliefs set the stage for the life ahead of you. Your beliefs get set from the things you hear around as you grow up. You were guided and instructed as to what to eat and this set the stage for your beliefs about food.

I know its not fair that your past defines the healthiness of your food, but you can start to change that.

You do this incrementally, with baby steps at first.

So in a small way, you can treat every meal as if it is a gift. Don’t keep thinking how unhealthy your food is.

Think of the benefits of eating the food, the nourishing aspect of the food. Set intentions on your food to give you all the nourishment you need at that moment.

Project good thoughts onto your food. Be thankful for your food.

You know. In a symbolic and metaphoric sense, food is a gift from the heavens.

Food is delicious. It’s pleasurable. Food can make us feel good. Eating nourishing food, making nourishing food, feeding others, celebrating with others, if that’s not love – then what is?

Think of when a child is born, “love” to them is being held, the touch of their mother, the soothing voice of their mother, and the sucking of milk from their mother. Even if you fed from a bottle, you were still in your mother’s arms feeling all that love.

Babies can’t think sophisticated enough to distinguish the difference in all those elements. It becomes one intertwined loving experience. So to them, food is love.

Fast forward many years, and a young child may also associate food with love. Very often, they’re rewarded for good deeds with food, or their grandma makes something special for them, like cookies, because they want to show love.

In an article by psychologist Marc David, he states,

"Food is so intertwined with love, the reality is, Food is Love and love is food.

Think of it as love from the planet to you. Think of it as a gift from the trees and the plants and the soil and the flowers and the bees and all the creatures that become food for humans.

And if you want to get just a little spiritual, think of food as a gift from a higher power. In so many religious traditions and cultures around the world, a thankful prayer for the food was important at every meal."

When we lose this deep understanding that food is love, then it becomes just food to manufacture that has no love in it.

Junk food, food that is engineered to get you addicted to it, food that is filled with toxic chemicals. Or animals that are treated terribly.

That is unhealthy food.

If we honor our food and how it is manufactured or grown, then it becomes so much healthier than just eating anything.

For instance, when animals are treated so poorly, caged up like baby calves are, chickens that are so squished in a pen, or cattle that are treated so poorly, those are stressed animals.

Think of the cortisol that is produced when someone is stressed.

If you were to eat food from a majorly stressed animal, it will be laced with cortisol and other harmful hormones that could affect your health.

But trying to eat grass-fed beef, uncaged chicken, food that is from animals that are honored and treated well will be so much better for our health.

I think it makes a difference.

When we honor Mother Earth and the food she produces, we become better people and healthier in turn.

No question about it.

Which brings me to my next point.

It is not just about buying food produced in a way that honors our planet or about being thankful for our food, it also is about preparing it in a way that is healthier for us.

And I don’t mean whether you fry your food or bake it.

I am talking about your attitude when you are preparing your food.

I’m a mother of four kids . I know what a drag it can be to prepare food for a family day in and day out. It can be tedious trying to think of what to eat each night for dinner.

I always laugh when I ask my family, what else can we do with chicken? Right?

But when I learned about the energy of food, I realized I was making the food more unhealthy if my thoughts were always how drudgery it was preparing it.

So to change my thoughts, I do different things while I make dinner.

I will play soothing music when I make dinner.

I might have a glass of wine when I make dinner to help me get more creative with the meal.

I might stream an interesting video when I make the meal to put me in a better mood so I am not projecting bad thoughts on my food.

I think this makes a huge difference.

And you know what is funny. I swear to God that my husband always says, Boy your eggs taste so much better than mine.

I just crack open a few eggs and scramble them. That’s it. I do nothing else.

So you have to think it makes a difference the mental state you are in when you make your food. There is no other way to explain those tasty eggs.

Another way to make your food more healthy is to set intentions for your food.

It’s not just about the thoughts you keep away from your food, like how unhealthy it may be, but set an intention.

Before you place the food in your mouth, say to yourself, “I place the intention that this food will nourish me, give me strength, give me energy, and keep me healthy. Thank you for this nourishing food.”

Then eat it. If you are spiritual, say a prayer of gratitude for your food.

Don’t believe me that prayer can change your food.

Have you ever heard of Masaru Emoto?

He is a famous researcher and photographer who photographed water as it was freezing. What the photos showed were water crystals. And the most amazing thing is that if you said positive words, words of love, joy, gratitude, the water crystals looked beautiful.

If you said words of hate, Hitler, Satan, ugly, then the water looked awful.

A prayer over water made it look beautiful.

So your words spoken or your thoughts, which are just silent words, actually changes the structure of the molecules in water and in our food.

If you don’t believe me, look him up. I will post a few pictures of these crystals from him that show water with different phrases said to it.

I even did my own experiment a few years ago. It was called the rice experiment. I won’t go into it here, because this podcast is getting pretty long.

But you can go to my website and watch the video about the experiment.

It was amazing how the rice looked different depending on if I said I love you to the rice or I said I hate you to the rice.

It's really is hard to believe, if I didn’t do the experiment myself. But it was right before my eyes.

Amazing.

So saying a prayer over your food, expressing love for your food with your thoughts and words changes the structural makeup of your food.

I even saw somewhere that by saying a prayer over your food will make it more alkaline. I can’t remember where I saw it, and if I find it again, I will post the link on this podcast page on my website.

Maybe I will even try this experiment. It would be easy to do.

If I do, I’ll post that too.

But I can see it now, the website snopes will probably debunk this because there isn’t a scientific study that “proves” this.

But I don’t know. It is so easy to do, why not try it.

Why wait for 20 years to go by and they find this to be true.

Then you’ve wasted all those years with food that could have been healthier for you.

I wouldn’t wait.

It’s not like this takes much effort.

Anything that honors our planet and Mother Earth has got to be healthier for you.

A simple 10 seconds before each meal to say something sweet about your food. That’s it.

And that food will become more healthy for you.

Another energetic way to make food healthier for you is to eat food that is alive.

Have you ever thought about your food being dead or alive.

Okay, here’s a quick science lesson, so bear with me for a moment.

All energy on our planet comes from the sun.

When the sun emits it’s rays, that is powerful energy, potential energy.

Then a plant uses sunlight in photosynthesis to convert the sun’s energy to potential energy that gets stored within the plant.

The energy stored in a plant as potential energy then gets eaten by an animal, or human, and becomes energy for that being.

In this way, energy from the sun gets used and reused in many different forms on earth.

So eating raw foods is good.

Think about when you cook something.

You are heating it up to a high degree which would kill anything.

But if you eat something before it is cooked, it still maintains the energy from the sun that would make its way into you.

I don’t advocate an all raw diet. I love food, and the experience of eating a nice steak dinner is great for me.

But I do try to eat something raw at every meal. I try to make 1/3 of my plate fresh, which is usually a salad at each meal.

That’s all. I’m not making it too hard on you. Raw food diets are hard. People that can maintain a raw food diet are disciplined.

Nothing wrong with that if it works for you.

But I think you can add a little raw to each meal to give you that extra energy boost.

And that’s how to make your food healthier for you when you eat it.

If you think about it, love is the ultimate healing emotion.

So love would never guide us to produce toxic foods to sell at a massive profit that destroys our children, our environment, and our future.

And when we truly love food, it will magically love us back.

From there, so much healing is possible.

And there you have it. I’ve given you a few ways to make your food healthier.

Hopefully, I’ve helped you change your relationship with food.

I’ve opened you up to a new way of looking at your food and a new way of preparing it. So you don’t have to worry about your food or find it boring to make it, but love the experience of eating and love everything about food.

So as a recap, there are three things we talked about today are:

Maintain a positive image of food before you eat it and not think about the unhealthiness of you food. You need to change your beliefs about food.

Give intentions before you eat your food. Say the intentions, or at the very least, think them. You may even say a prayer of thanksgiving over your food before you eat it. It does change the structure of the food molecules just like the water crystals we spoke of from Masaru Emoto.

Eat raw foods as much as possible. I’m not saying you have to stay away from that juicy steak, or mashed potatoes. I’m just saying to replace about 1/3 of your plate with something raw. Let the energy from the sun be absorbed by you through your food. Every little bit counts!

And there you have it, ways to make your food healthier with energy.

In my next podcast, we are going to start getting into a very important aspect of energy healing.

The power of your emotions.

I can’t wait to start talking about emotions, because it’s not something you hear many people in mainstream medicine talking about except to medicate you if you feel depressed or are stressed.

But this is a very interesting issue, so we’ll start right from the beginning and talk about how emotions effect our health and any healing we do.

Then we’ll get into more advanced issues with our emotions.

You’re not going to want to miss it. I think you’ll find it facinating.

But until next time,

Keep breathing, keep loving and keep healing, because they are the keys to life.

Have a great week!

See ya then.

Most people don't think about their healing process much. But if you want to heal, there are certain things to consider that will help bring it on. In this podcast, I delve into that process and what exactly it looks like from a practical standpoint.

Episode Notes:

As a healer for more than 15 years, I have to admit, this is a frustrating subject for me!

People say they want to be healed, but they don’t even know what it looks like anymore.

We have become so disconnected from ourselves, just following a life of distractions. Like mind-numbed robots living day by day distracted by technology, work, family, anything.

People will say they want to be healed, but they think if they took ibuprofen for their headache, they’re healed.

But that’s not true healing.

In my quest to get myself and my daughter healthy many years ago, I learned from many intelligent people that our bodies have all it needs to heal from anything.

People need to learn how to do it.

You are a masterfully created being. You have everything you need within you for healing. You need to figure out how to tap into that inner healing power you possess to get the job done.

And that is why I started this podcast. To get the word out that you can do it, you can heal.

So I started with the previous episodes to help you begin to get in touch with your intuitive self and become aware of the energy inside you. We’ll get more into that later on; I’ll share with you some really cool things you can do.

And I am going to be sharing with you in later podcasts things you can do all by yourself to help your healing along.

But first, I want to let you know what true healing is. Because, as I said, I get frustrated.

People have no patience for healing. So before we get to all the neat stuff, I want to give you my five pillars of healing. It’s like setting the stage or laying the groundwork for healing.

And the reason why I think it is necessary to do this is because energy healing is a bit different than what people are typically used to seeing. And unless you understand these pillars of healing, you may not appreciate the power energy healing has. So let’s begin with my first pillar of healing.

#1 - The first pillar is “Healing takes PATIENCE.”

I say this because everyone wants their healing done yesterday.

I once had a woman who I was working with take a remedy from me and said, I can’t wait, I’m going to take the medication the doctor gave me. This is taking too long. She told me this like three days after I gave her the remedy.

And I’m thinking, really? Wow, you couldn’t wait a few more days. Are you so ready to take those medications which can leave you with all kinds of side effects?

I remember thinking, no worries, it’s your life. I know I would want to heal, not be perpetually on meds all the time.

But that’s why they make vanilla and chocolate. To each his own.

I wish people would want to truly heal, even if it takes a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years. Wouldn’t getting healed be better. I love the word remission. Doctors say that a lot.

You are in remission because they know they didn’t heal you of anything, they just suppressed it until it surfaces again.

So now you have to live life watching for this disease to rear it’s ugly head again.

I wouldn’t want to constantly be watching over my shoulder for a disease.

Everyone wants to be healed asap!

When they get a headache, they take ibuprofen; when they get a rash, they take a steroid cream, constipated, they use a suppository.

You get constipated and take a suppository, then you go. You're healed, right?

I mean, come on. Really! Do you think that is healing?

You may look like your healed because you went to the bathroom, your rash is gone, and your headache may be gone, but are you.

Let’s take steroids. You got the rash and put the steroid on, and the rash is gone. But according to the NIH, which is the government website, the steroid suppresses the inflammatory genes that are activated by the disease. In other words, the steroids suppress any inflammation that is going on. There is no healing taking place. Whatever caused the inflammation is still there.

That’s like saying, if there is a fire in your house, you can put it out by taking the battery out of your fire alarm.

But not only that, you now have to ask yourself, if whatever was causing that rash in the first place is just being suppressed, where did it go.

Think of it this way:

Let’s say you have two people outside at night enjoying themselves. Then the mosquitoes come and really start to bother them.

The one person puts repellant on, and the mosquitoes quit bothering her. But did the mosquitoes go away? No, they will move to the next person and annoy them. So now that person has double the nuisance from the mosquitoes.

That is what it is like with the steroids and most medications. There is no healing, it suppresses the inflammation, or suppresses the pain. It is really symptom based.

So you might be asking, what’s wrong with that. At least I don’t feel bad.

But there is a problem with that strategy.

When you get a rash, let’s say, then you can heal it right at its roots. If you suppress it, then whatever is causing the outbreak goes underground and can travel somewhere else in your body where it can wreak havoc there and continue to grow without you even knowing it.

Let’s take dandruff for instance. Something that may be a nuisance, but it is not serious. Right?

Dandruff is usually caused by a fungus called Malassezia that lives on the scalp. This fungus feeds on the oils of the scalp and can dry it out if there is an overgrowth.

But if you use shampoos and dandruff treatments that suppress the symptoms on the scalp, the reason why that fungus got out of control is still there. And that reason could produce other problems inside your body if left untreated.

Would you want that fungal infection to go to your liver or kidneys? Or whatever the reason that fungus got out of control, let’s say you are eating too many omega-6 fats, instead of the healthy fats, which is usually the reason for dandruff, then it will be problematic in another part of the body too.

A different type of fungus might flourish and expand rapidly in another part of your body if you continue to keep eating so many omega-6s.

At least on your scalp, you can see it and work to get rid of it.

If it goes to an internal organ, you won’t know it is there until one day you come down with a more serious condition or disease and wonder where it came from out of nowhere.

But it didn’t; it came from the fungal overgrowth that may have started from your scalp.

See what I’m saying.

Let’s take ibuprofen or Advil. It works by decreasing the number and types of prostaglandins, which are just substances in your body that get produced when there is a need for inflammation. So if you sprained your ankle and your body needed to protect that area, it releases prostaglandins to signal your body to increase the inflammation. The ibuprofen did nothing to the actual healing of the ankle. It just reduced the signaling mechanism of the body.

That’s like saying, if you found a crack in the pipes in your house, it would get fixed quicker if you didn’t tell anyone. Kept it a secret from the plumbers who could come and get the job done.

That’s sounds crazy doesn’t it when you put it in those terms? You know, I joke about people like that woman, but really I am frustrated.

Here’s another example, If I tell someone that their body is calling for a supplement to help their situation or a diet change, they do whatever for a week and say, “That didn’t work.” Now what.

Are you kidding me? If you are deficient in a nutrient, just supplementing for a week isn’t going to do much.

If you have a leak in the oil tank of your car, would putting some oil in each day for a week solve the problem. No.

Until the leaky tank got fixed, you need to keep supplementing it with oil.

Our bodies’ are masterfully created machines!

They know how to heal. It just takes time.

You might have to supplement for a while, or maybe you need to make lifestyle changes, or detox for a while.

But the reason it takes time to heal is because when you give your body what it needs, now it needs time to get the job done.

If you were deficient in vitamin D let’s say, well taking the vitamin D didn’t solve the problem per se, the vitamin D allowed your body to do its job properly which includes healing.

I can’t tell you how many times I hear someone say they started to eat good but didn’t see a change in their condition.

They claim the diet didn’t make a difference.

But think about inside your body. Just because you quit feeding it garbage doesn’t mean your body is in tip-top shape automatically.

It probably took years to get to this condition. It’s going to take a while to set your body straight and heal whatever is wrong inside.

Your body only has so many resources within it to tap into for healing. If you are eating a complicated meal like lasagne, or a huge burger with greasy fries, it may have very little energy left over to do any healing.

But if you give your body what it needs, it will do the healing; it just might not be immediate.

If someone gave you supplies to clean your house, that doesn’t mean you cleaned your house. You still have to take those supplies and do the cleaning.

It is the same way with healing.

Another problem with patience is that sometimes when people start healing, they get worse before they get better.

This is called a healing effect, or herxheimer effect.

When you heal, you sometimes see the symptoms of what you are trying to heal worsen for for a day or two.

This is why you get it.

Most health problems stem from a parasite like bacteria, virus, fungus, or something like that.

If you want to solve the problem, you need to kill off the parasite. Right?

So did you know that when something dies, it releases toxins? This process may sound morbid, but when a human being dies, you’ll see them release their last breath, and it is a long sigh type breath. Their bodily fluids get released too.

Well, this also happens with microbes.

They release toxins when they die off too. And your body doesn’t like it much.

So you react to these toxins and, the problem gets worse for a short time.

Eventually, it really shouldn’t take long, your body will have a chance to catch up, and clean up after the release of the toxins. And the symptoms will go away.

Here’s an example.

Many years ago a woman came to me with these red spots all over her.

So I evaluated her and told her it was a bacterial infection.

I gave her a remedy and sent her on her way.

I didn’t see her for a long time and finally bumped into her.

I asked her, "what ever happened to the red spots?"

She said, "Oh my goodness, the spots got redder, so I ran to the doctor and took the steroid cream. Now they are gone."

I just rolled my eyes and thought to myself, I wonder where all that bacteria went. I’m sure it is still in her body somewhere waiting to rear it’s ugly head again.

I should have warned her this could happen. It is especially a problem with skin conditions because who wants the rashes to get worse. But it just takes a little patience.

Those red spots probably would have only gotten worse for a day or two, then they would have been gone for good.

It’s called patience my friends!

#2 - The second pillar of healing is there are layers of disease that need to be stripped away for true healing.

As you live life, you keep adding layers of health conditions to yourself that need to be stripped away for your body to heal.

If you lived a really unhealthy life, the layers would pile up pretty quickly.

Lead a healthy life, not so much.

Think of yourself like a barrel. As you live life, you keep filling that barrel with layers of disease-causing things, bad stuff like eating junk food, being exposed to pesticides, having a stressful day. These are all layers that get piled into your barrel.

If that barrel gets filled too much from all the layers you put in it through the years, eventually it will overflow, and that is when a symptom strikes or a disease pops up.

It may have looked like the disease came out of nowhere, but it was in the making long before that.

So by stripping away the layers of disease, you will offload your body more and more and eventually, your body has time to catch up and do some healing.

The other reason why layers are so important is because healing is an orderly process. You may be having headaches, but healing may really need to be done in your liver first.

If your brain, which is your control center, is overwhelmed with trying to heal the liver lets say, then it lets everything else go. So now your headache pops up. But before your brain deals with your headache, it has to finish the job with the liver.

Does that make sense?

I have evaluated people many times that come in because of one problem, and I tell them it is something else, and they think my results are wrong.

Well, my results may not be wrong, there is just so much going on inside their body, how would they know what everything is going on.

It is like a domino effect, when one thing heals, it then can be used to heal the next thing.

Another reason why this is important is because if you do something to heal, like change your diet, you may not feel any different for a while, but inside your body there may be all kinds of healing going on. It’s about the layers, and stripping away the layers of disease.

Like I said, our bodies are masterfully created machines, they’ll do the work.

#3 - My third pillar of healing is that everything you need for healing is already within you.

I recently heard a podcast where a gentleman said, technology has quickly advanced in the last century, but it will really speed up now because all we ever need technology wise is right within us.)

That is pretty cool.

We are learning that our minds are so much more powerful than we give them credit for being.

You just have to stay in touch with your yourself. Get to really know your body and listen to it.

It also means you need to quiet yourself long enough to be able to get to know you.

You can’t develop a relationship with someone if you are so distracted by your phone or the TV. It is the same with yourself.

Take time to be mindful or meditate. You will be amazed at the information you will get if you just try to ask yourself. I know I am continually fascinated by the information I get.

Your body will talk to you. It will tell you when something isn’t right. It will give you warnings that there may be trouble down the road if you don’t make changes.

If you listen close enough, you’ll be able to make changes and adjustments before anything serious comes along.

This is the whole concept behind everyday healing and why I use it as my tag-line for my website.

If you listen to your body and what it is trying to tell you, then you can heal from the little stuff before it gets serious.

In this way, you hopefully never really get a serious diagnosis and live to a ripe old age and die of natural causes.

I know I try to listen to my body all the time.

Is my stomach gurgling more than usual, or am I feeling bloated? Am I getting headaches a lot? Is there a pain in my knee?

These all signal that something isn’t right.

Did you know there is a relationship between structures in your body and different organs? Your knees are associated with your kidneys. Pain in your knees, and I don’t mean if you smashed it somehow, but a pain that pops out of nowhere in your knee may mean your kidneys are under stress. It might not be anything serious, but if your knees start to hurt, then maybe you need to change something in your life that is stressing out your kidneys.

So if I get knee pain, at the first sign of it, which has happened to me before, I make sure I drink lots of water and be sure to eat really healthy to normalize my system and take the stress off my kidneys, which in turn takes the stress off my knees. I might even do kidney cleanse.

There is an infinite amount of signals our bodies give us telling us there is something not quite right.

And there is an infinite amount of solutions that you have at your disposal to rectify the problem.

So there is no excuse if you don’t take steps to correct any imbalance in your body.

I bet you are thinking, how am I supposed to know the relationships between different structures of my body and their organ association.

I got you covered. I put a cheat sheet on my podcast page that lists the different parts of the body and their associations. You can look it up if you want. It’s pretty interesting.

But even if you didn’t know that pain in the knees meant there might be something going on with your kidneys, if it were me, I would be sure to eat really clean and relax more. Maybe be sure to take my supplements diligently, and just try to live uber healthy for a while until the pain disappears.

We all like to overindulge a bit at times. I get that. That’s part of living a robust life. But when we do tend to push the limit, our bodies will tell us, and that’s when we pull back and detox a little to get healthy again.

So that is what I mean about listening to your body and make corrective changes to your lifestyle to fix the problem.

That is True Healing.

#4 - There are many roads to healing

Another aspect of true healing that is important is that there are many roads to healing. I don’t like it when people think they have to do one thing to heal.

Some alternative technique can’t possibly work because there is no clinical trial to back it up, or it isn’t sanctioned by the Medical Association.

That’s baloney.

That’s what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe so you don’t go looking for solutions. You have to rely on their expensive drugs that only mask the problem.

I know of a doctor who was curing breast cancers with baking soda.

That’s right, baking soda you have in your kitchen.

There’s not a lot of money to be made selling baking soda as opposed to drugs.

But it’s true. Do you know what happened to the doctor, he was stripped of his medical license and now practices outside this country.

So now, US citizens can’t use this very effective technique, only foreigners.

Crazy!

That’s not to say some doctors can’t ever cure a disease.

There are many roads to healing and when someone tells you their way is the only way, I stay clear of people like that.

I like the philosophy that we all work together for the common good, in this case, healing.

If someone wants to take the chemo route is they had cancer, then who am I to say they shouldn’t. I know that there is a lot someone can do if they take chemo drugs to lessen the side effects if they want to take that route. So instead of getting mad at someone because they didn’t choose the healing method I would have, I would help them do whatever it takes to heal.

So healing can come from many different sources.

#5 - Taking away any barrier to healing.

There is so much at our disposal for healing. All kinds of products to use, supplements to take, practitioners and doctors to see.

It is a great time to be sick!

But you can do all you want to heal, and take all you want, but if you don’t remove any barriers to healing, most likely you’re not going to heal.

Let me give you an example.

I met this woman once when I was waiting in line after Christmas to return something at a BestBuy.

You know how long the waits can be then. Bored as we were, I struck up a conversation with a woman in front of me and she asked what I did.

So I told her I manufacture all natural health products.

She asked, “Do you have anything for cancer?”

I said, “Sorry, I don’t. Do you know someone with cancer?”

She said yes, her husband has stage 4 colon cancer. Then she went on to say he will be okay because he is taking Turmeric, and she had heard that cures cancer.

I said, “That’s good he is taking that. But is there anything else he is doing?”

She said, “No. As a matter of fact, he works God awful hours because his patients need him, he eats terrible, has a huge gut, never takes a vacation and is always stressed.”

I thought to myself, “Honey, that Turmeric ain’t going to do anything for your husband.” That guy has so many barriers to healing, he’ll never be able to knock them all down.

To heal, it is just as important to examine your life and how you are living it, and remove any barriers you have to healing, then it is finding the magic pill or the magic person that can heal you.

Barriers to healing are huge. I’m going to be getting into them more in later podcasts. But for now, know that healing will happen if you just get out of your own way to let the healing take place.

What I mean by getting out the way is don’t bombard yourself with unhealthy things and expect healing to happen.

Remove stress, eat well, hydrate. Because if you don’t, you might as well put up a brick wall to your own healing.

So those are my five pillars of healing.

As a recap:

Pillar #1 - Be patient. True healing takes time. It’s not just a bandaid.

Pillar #2 - Your health is in layers, if you’re able to strip away enough layers of unhealthy living, eventually you will heal.

Pillar#3 - Everything you need to heal is right inside you. Connect with yourself to find answers for healing. And listen to your body to see what it is telling you.

Pillar #4 - There are many roads to healing. Take the route that feels best for you.

Pillar #5 - You must pay as much attention to your barriers to healing than working on finding that magic bullet that will wipe all your illness away.

And there you have my five pillars of healing!

In my next podcast, I’m going to be sharing with you ways to improve the quality of your food.

Do you like to cook?

If so, then you won’t want to miss this. It is real interesting.

But until next time,

Keep breathing, keep loving and keep healing, because they are the keys to life.

Have a great week!

See Ya.

If every living thing has life force energy flowing through it all the time, then how can you use that energy for healing. In this episode, I’ll show you the steps to harness the energy that flows through you and use it for healing. This is a basic technique used in energy medicine. You won’t want to miss it.

Episode Notes: 

Today I’m going to share with you how to use your life force energy for healing.

In my last podcast, I showed you how to feel the energy within you and become more aware of your energy. 

And I also shared with you how you use your mind to concentrate and focus your thoughts to direct your energy.

Were you able to do the exercises? 

Were you able to feel anything?

How about quieting your mind? 

Were you able to do that?

At first, we held a finger up and put our focus on it and felt the essence of energy around the finger.  It was subtle, but it was there.

It is there for everyone, so if you tried that experiment and didn’t feel anything, then just keep trying.  But remember, you must first quiet yourself without any distractions to work with your energy. 

If you’re still having trouble feeling your energy after many attempts and first quieting yourself, then email me and maybe I can help.

Now I want to show you how to use that energy you just harnessed for healing.

But first, I want to tell you about a clever way I used my intuition, remember we learned how to do it in podcast #2, Learning to tap into your subconscious mind.

It is also called the Sway Test.

But basically, you ask a yes or no questions while in a mindful moment and see if you sway forward or backward.

I use this technique all the time.  However, I do it a little different.  There is an infinite amount of ways to do it.  The sway test is just one way, and it is one of the easiest ways, so people often learn this technique first.

If you haven’t learned how to do it, you can go back to episode #2 to learn how, because it is a real powerful technique.

And here is how I used it outside of healing. 

You know, with energy healing, you learn to use your mind, your intuition because it is very powerful. 

They say, every answer to any question is already within you.  You just have to learn how to get the information out. 

So I wanted to test this theory, and have a little fun doing it.

I guess this is how I get my kicks each day!

So one day I went to get a white shirt to wear, because I wear a lot of white, black, grey and brown.

And I pulled out two white shirts but oh, no! They had stains on them.

It was so frustrating because I tried many times to get those darn stains out, but no matter what I did, they were still there.  I probably tried five separate times, but there was still a slight remnant of the stains right smack in the middle of the shirts.

So I figured I would try one more time and use my intuition to guide me to a strategy that would work.  If it didn’t work, then I would throw the shirts out.  But I hated throwing them out because I am not a big shopper and didn’t’ want to have to go out and get new ones. 

So this exercise was well worth it.

So I used my intuition technique to see if there was anything more I could do.  Here’s how I did it.

I asked if there was anything more I could do to get the stains out.

I got the answer - YES!

Okay, so I tested my intuition and said, would using bleach to get the stain out work?

(I did this because I used bleach many times and the stain was still there. So if I was going to be told to use bleach, I would know this strategy wasn’t working.)

See how I test my intuition at times!

So I got NO, using bleach wouldn’t help.

Okayyyyy, my trying to trick my intuition didn’t work, that’s good.

So I asked if there was still another way to get the stains out.

YES.

Is it something in my laundry room?

YES.

Then I went thru the different detergents in the room and asked if the solution involved that product. 

I went to both the natural and synthetic products.

When I got to the Oxyclean powder, I got a yes.

So then I asked how to use it, just put it in the washing tub.

NO.  ( Which was good because I put Oxyclean in my wash many times and it didn’t seem to get the stain out.)

So after many questions, I finally got that I should make a paste with the powder and put it on the stain directly, and let it sit on the stain for a few minutes, then put it in the wash.

Voila, the stains were gone.

To me, that is a great way to use your intuition to make your life better.  I guess this is healing my laundry!

But it goes to show how powerful these techniques I am showing you are.  We’ll be getting in to many other ways to use energy healing techniques.  But this one was interesting.  So I thought I would share it.

So now, on to using your energy for healing.

In my last podcast, I showed you how to become aware of your energy by concentrating on your finger in front of you.

If you haven’t mastered that yet, or haven’t been able to feel it, then keep trying.  You’ll get it because we all have the energy. 

If you want, you can go to my website and download the cheat sheet from Episode #4 to help you.

After the finger exercise, I had you put your awareness on different parts of your body and then focus your thoughts, which is also your energy, to your hands.

What I had you doing with those exercises is begin to use your mind to direct your energy.

Your mind is very powerful; it has healing capability that we are only now beginning to understand and just touching the surface.

But at the most basic level, you can direct your energy within you and point it on something with laser beam focus and use it for healing.

Here are the steps to harnessing your energy for healing.

STEP I:  Feel Your Energy

1. Decide what you want to energize for healing.  Do you want to heal a sore knee that is painful, or maybe your eyes are feeling tired and need healing, you can even heal one of your houseplants that has seen better days?  It doesn’t have to be a part of your body.  It can be anything.

2.  Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and eyes closed.

3.  Ground Yourself.

Remember always to ground yourself which includes quieting your mind and let all distractions drift away.

Take 5 - 10 minutes and let your thoughts go, let them drift away.  Try to think of nothing.

Thump your chest three times and say “I love you.”  (Called thumping your thymus)  This is not absolutely necessary, but helpful.

STEP II:  Let Your Energy Flow

Imagine a flow of energy from the ground moving through your feet and into your legs, up through your body.  Visualize it.  The more you can visualize it, the more energy you will produce.

Then imagine the energy moving through your legs, up your body to the top of your head.

At the top of your head, imagine it going back down through your arms and out your hands.

STEP III:  Amplify Your Energy

Keep imagining this while taking deep breaths.  The deeper the breaths, the stronger the energy will become.

Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth.

If you do this long enough, you might begin to feel a buzzing up your spine, or in your hands.  It is a wild sensation if you amplify your energy plenty.

STEP IV:  Direct Your Energy

Now put your hands on whatever object you want to heal, i.e., your knee.  Keep it to something on your body at first so you can feel the energy.  It makes it easier for you recognize the sensation and become aware of it if you can sense it.

Then put your hands on either side of your knee and set them there, and relax them.  It is important to stay relaxed, because your energy flows better when you are relaxed. 

If you tense up your hands, or your arms, the energy won’t flow as easily.  So keep them relaxed.

As you imagine the energy from the ground, going through your body to the top of your head, and then back down through your arms out your hands, imagine it going into your knee.

And keep this up for a good 15 minutes or as long as you can.  The longer you can do this and imagine the energy going through your body and out your hands, the more energy you will produce.  With the more energy you produce, the more powerful the healing energy will become.

Then, to take it to the next level, and make it more useful, set an intention to your energy.  If you have a sore knee, place an intention to let the soreness drift dissipate.  If you are working on your eyes, set an intention that your eyes will relax and not be so tired as you put your hands on them while breathing.

Your options for healing intentions are endless.  Use your imagination.  Some people have even imagined they had a sponge cleaning out their knee to relieve the pain.  Or they imagined white light filling their knee for healing.

After you set the intention, then visualize it as much as possible. 

The important things to remember is to get the energy flowing first, then amplify it, then direct your energy to whatever you want to heal, and finally, set the intention for healing.

Experiment and have fun with this.  You are now an energy healer!  Congratulations!

I have a Cheat Sheet on my podcast page, on the website so that you can download the instructions to these exercises to make it easier for you instead of listening every time you want to try this.

If you have any questions about the exercises we did in this podcast, leave a comment on the bottom of my podcast page,  Episode #5 and I will answer it.

Or as always, you can send me your questions by email at [email protected] or find me on facebook and ask me there.  If you have a question, I am sure others would too.

I would love to hear from anyone if you were able to feel your energy and used it for healing. 

Think about it, you now became an energy healer.

In my next podcast, I’m going to share with you what true healing looks like.  Hint, Hint:  it is not just covering up the symptoms.

But until next time my friends,

Keep breathing, keep loving and keep healing, because they are the keys to life.

Have a great week!

Bye for now.
