Cellph (Self) Love – The Missing Link To Healing: Awaken Your Cell’s Memory of Well Being!

More than the absence of disease, a state of true Health is the harmony or balance of the total being.  Typically, we describe this as harmony of the body/mind/spirit connection.  In essence, this harmony is our true and natural state.  However, this balance seems to allude many of us in varying degrees, from physical, psychological/emotional or spiritual, or seemingly, any one or combo of the aforementioned. If it is our natural state, why does it challenge us so?
 
It is my philosophy, that there is a definite connection between one’s physical or emotional state of health and one’s degree of self-love.  Furthermore, I believe, it is the development of a strong ‘self love’ consciousness that is the missing link to all healing of body, mind and spirit.  In this lecture, I will show how ‘self-love’ is the link, the true integrating force, which anchors the body and mind to the spirit.  In our fast paced lives, it often appears as though the purpose of our spirit is to fuel our body and our mind when we are ‘out of sorts’ or ‘down and out’!  In reality, it is our body and mind that is needed to fuel our spirit, so that IT is the propelling life force, rather than the reverse.

Clearly, when the spirit is in the forefront, our lives are joyful and fulfilling.  In this seminar, we will put the body and mind to work for the spirit, creating instant energetic shifts in your health and well-being. I will teach you ‘how to’ create the spiritual consciousness essential for healing to take place on all levels, and to reclaim your ‘cells’ natural state of balance to create lasting health and happiness

Food sensitivities and how to cook healthy gluten free foods

Food intolerance or non-allergic food hypersensitivity is a delayed, negative reaction to a food, beverage or food additive. It can involve symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but is not a true allergy. Intolerance can result from the absence of specific chemicals or enzymes needed to digest a food substance, or from reactions to naturally occurring chemicals in foods.

Acupuncture: Learn about this ancient healing method

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on a pre-scientific paradigm of medicine that developed over several thousand years and involves concepts that have no counterpart within contemporary medicine. In TCM, the body is treated as a whole that is comprised of several "systems of function" known as the zang-fu. Health is explained as a state of balance between the yin and yang, with disease ascribed to either of these forces being unbalanced, blocked or stagnant. The yang force is the immaterial qi, a concept that is roughly translated as "vital energy". The yin counterpart is Blood, which is linked to but not identical with physical blood, and capitalized to distinguish the two.
