6 Steps to Manifest Your Dreams

How to Manifest Your Dreams

We all have hopes and dreams that may or may not manifest in life. Some people seem to have great success in getting their dreams to come true, while for others dreams remain dreams. What’s the difference between one person and the next, and how can you make your dreams come true?

First of all, what exactly is manifestation? Simply put, it means bringing what you desire into being in the physical realm. This is largely done through beliefs plus actions that support those beliefs.

Here are some steps you can take to manifest what you want. It is often useful to start with a simple goal, understand how it works, and then apply it to something a little more difficult or complicated. Read more

Eat Your Greens!

If you’re like my husband and me, you just can’t live without eating leafy greens. But if you’re not like this, please read on to see why they are so important to us.

A good portion of our veggie garden is taken up with leafy greens. The picture in this blog is from our garden. We grow all varieties of kale, collards, Swiss Chard, and a few kinds of Asian greens like senposai. We cook them almost every day of the week and they are the first thing we go for when we’ve been traveling and need to rebalance our systems. Read more

Dirty Dozen & Clean 15 Produce

Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) puts out two produce lists – The Dirty Dozen and The Clean 15. The Dirty Dozen is a list of produce to only eat organic because they are so laden with chemical pesticides. The Clean 15 is a list of foods to eat more safely in convention form, because testing on them has shown that they have little or no chemical pesticide residues in them when tested.

The Dirty Dozen

This list includes: strawberries, spinach, kale/collard/mustard greens, peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, grapes, hot and bell peppers, cherries, blueberries, green beans (new to the list).

Being Heavy Pays Off

Being heavy pays off.

If you keep trying to lose weight and failing, that’s because being heavy has payoffs. On the surface, this seems totally illogical. Of course you want to lose weight. It would be great.

But under the surface, there are hidden factors that come into play. Your unconscious reasons for wanting to keep on that extra weight come with benefits. At this level, your desire to keep on the extra pounds outweighs your desire to lose them. Read more

What Triggers Anxiety?

,
What triggers anxiety and how to release it.

Who doesn’t experience anxiety at least some of the time? Our modern lifestyle is not conducive to rest, relaxation, and balance. So we need to recognize what triggers anxiety in us and form habits to counter these triggers and keep us balanced.

Step One is to identify which triggers apply to you. Step Two is to plan what you will do when triggered. Then Step Three is to put Step Two into practice and develop anti-anxiety habits that work for you. Remember, without Step Three, your plan will stay in your head! It is important to start with one intervention on your list and practice that. Then add a second intervention, and so on. If you try to do too much all at once, you will be more likely to give up before you have a chance to succeed. Commend yourself for small steps of progress! Read more

Weight Loss Leads To Romance

Weight loss leads to romance.

More than once I have seen how weight loss leads to romance. When someone is ready to lose weight, then other goals start to be uncovered that were stifled along with the extra pounds. When the blocks to weight loss are released, so are the blocks to achieving other goals. It’s fun to witness this!

It clearly happened with one of my weight loss clients. She had been divorced for nine years and had never dated since her divorce. The sting of her marriage left her afraid to try a relationship again. Read more

Tips on When To Eat

Did you ever pay attention to ‘when to eat’? To be healthy and at the right weight, we often focus on ‘what to eat’. But timing is everything!

In Ayurveda (the ancient Indian science of longevity), eating is key to good health. And one aspect of healthy eating is the time of day when we eat. There are a couple of considerations here.

Eating With The Sun

The sun is at its zenith in the middle of the day, around noon. This is also when our digestive fire is strongest. There’s a reason this area is called solar plexus. When our digestive fire is at its strongest, we digest food the best, and assimilate the nutrients more effectively. Read more

3 Benefits of Color Imagery

3 Benefits of Color Imagery

Using color imagery is a great way to aid healing. Color choices are very individual. When someone chooses a color that is healing for them, the color becomes a symbol and might be able to express something even more powerfully than words.

According to Art4Healing.org, “Our method is designed around the fact that every Participant experiences a different word, emotion, or energy in each color based on their own unique perception.” Read more
