These times have very wild implications beyond what I have ever lived. I have always been one to taut prevention, living with the earth, realizing we are creatures of it and investigating old and new ways of health and beauty. I have been an advocate for organic, local and green living to support our communities as well as our well being. Connection to others important as is the joy of living on the planet that I consider the Garden of Eden.

With the illness so prevalent, the different ways to keep health optimal, the restrictions being imposed, I find the things I have always shared more important than ever. I became organic with flowers and food, supported local farms and businesses my whole life, tried to keep my waste to the least and use things with consciousness. Today as things stand, knowing the local food producers and the local healers is important for health and beauty. Living sustainably for health and resources seems smart. Prevention the name of the game! I am not in favor of many of the latest health and wellness claims so I am sharing the ways I think are the best, easy health and happiness options.  Despite current conditions I am thriving and want to share ideas of how.

Purchase from local farms and food sources where you can. If we could shift our food distribution to  more local sources , less concern for gas, shipping,  availability, cyber attacks, all this could support us to still get the necessities. Yes, it is a high goal but moving toward that is a good choice. The food is fresher, healthier and you support your community to have a closer loop. I know out here there are moves in farming and permaculture that in the future could support a more closed loop society as far as food and healing elixirs is concerned. Eating by the seasons is healthful for us and small choices to make these things work in the right direction can help the world in the future so I advocate such. You feel good as well seeing the farms about that you actually get your food from. 

Sustainability seems important as well for if there are shifts in distribution, you want to know you have your supplies. That is why the Kangen water is a key to my life. I get the best drinking water no matter what comes out of the tap. Filters and my ionizer create the best molecular hydrogen water that is the number one anti-oxident today. Simply hydrating with the right stuff goes a long way to health and longevity. Acidic bodies are shifted with ionized water as are many health ails all listed in study after study on pub med. Look up ERW, Electrically Reduced Water or Molecular Hydrogen water there.

Chemical free living is another thing that I support. So many have allergies to food, chemicals, pollen in the air, there are so many more pollutants than when I grew up especially in food. Little bits of cancer causing agents in our lotions, laundry soap, personal care products all effect us over time. Long ago I learned personal care products are unregulated and filled with many unhealthy perservatives to be on shelves. Food has many antibiotics, gmo, unhealthy fat replacements, all take a toll on our bodies over the years. Buying local and not factory farming helps as does using safer products. 

Our Kangen Water machine offers the most sustainable living I have encountered. I used to purchase safer products from the better grocery stores where they already weeded out high perservatives which worked. However, since I got the Kangen, I have replaced 95% of all personal care, cleaning and house hold products. I save so much money as I clean, do laundry, clear stains, wash veggies, remove makeup, support good teeth, softer skin, healed excema, heal cuts. burns, lost weight, the list is endless. 64 uses at least as we say for these different types of water. It is amazing and I don't run out of things for it is there in my kitchen. 

All about me is chemical free. This supports immunity and the innate healing system we are all born with. Give it what it needs, support with healthy choices and your have simple health.  Our 2.5pH Hypochlorous Acid is the best sanitizer that exists, 100x more powerful than bleach. Used in hospitals, dentists offices and nursing homes as safe and it is electric salt water. I can disinfect where ever I go with no chemicals. This is powerful especially now. 

Go in nature and re-center! With the high stress of the news, riots, protests, illness, lockdown, masks, nature fires and floods, it is healthy to step away. I know of no better way than to go hike, paddle, swim, lay on the grass. We are creatures of nature and considered the animal kingdom. This step away from techno spaces is healing to us on the cellular level, emotional level and to calm the ramble brain. It also brings in our spiritual nature of gratitude and beauty just being outside, receiving of the world. Health and sustainability at its finest by just walking outside. 

Stay connected to high vibe communities. What ever that means to you find them. Be in person, online, facetime, zoom, whatever it takes. This is your life line to have inspired, forward moving and thinking others around.  I have many great free thinking communities that expand me, inspire me, lift me and create laughter and joy for me daily. This happy attitude is one of the best medicines. I don't subscribe to not being together or touching each other either. I get lots of health treatments of self care that keep me calm, clear and level in these times. Touch and connection a powerful tool in good living. 

Work at things that give you joy! I changed my life out here in Colorado and I upgraded to loving all I do. I have always been on some mission to educate and inform and I still am. I investigate the healing arts, the expressive arts and elixirs that serve me to beauty and health and share that with others. It is vital that you love your work and many shifted that in the illness crisis of 2020. I love what I do and I inspire you to find ways to love what you do too. I support others to find this joy  as well!

Blessings to us all as we ride through creating a new world out of some really crazy stuff going on. Joy is always around. Be a herald of it! Great love to you all!

 Dehydration is caused by not drinking enough water or by losing more fluid than you take in. 90% of people are chronically dehydrated. The right water is the most important ingredient to your health. Water is the force that wakes up the brain and flushes out the body. Science is verifying this is the missing link in mental health and wellness.  Many medical practitioners are just learning the power of hydration.

Why is water important to your body? 
Delivers electromagnetic current to fuel your cells.
Transports, stabilizes, signals, lubricates and structures your body.
Helps with minerals in the body.
Protects the organs from shriveling.
Regulates body temperature.
Helps produce digestive enzymes.
Slows down cell death. (anti-aging)
Flushes out toxins and poisons.
Helps keep away aches and pains.
Water creates communication between cells, fluidity of all processes in your body and clarity in mental function.  The Mayo Clinic suggests 9 glasses of water per day just to stay alive. We recommend you drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. Adjusting that if you drink coffee, soda, workout or use medication.

What causes dehydration?  
Stress, medication, dry and processed foods, strenuous activity (working out), alcohol, coffee, little to no fruit and vegetables, plastic water bottle consumption.
Dr. Zach Bush, MD,  one of the most influential voices around hydration  considers dehydration to be the epidemic behind the epidemics. Dehydration is cumulative. Even low levels of dehydration can cause headaches, lethargy, lightheadedness and constipation. Consider our blood is 94% water. When we are hydrated, blood flows to all parts of the body, flowing like a river. If our blood is stagnant or syrup, it can’t flush our body of toxins and poison. Additionally, one third of Americans have such a weak thirst sensation, they mistake the signal for hunger which creates weight gain. If you are overweight, it takes more water to detox your body.
 
What Kind of water should I be drinking?
The most hydrating water is micro-clustered, ionized, alkalized water made with medical grade, solid titanium and platinum plates.  Micro-clustered water means smaller water molecules that are able to penetrate the cell wall.  H2O likes to bunch together into 10-20 molecules. Think about a bunch of grapes as normal water. Using electrolysis and the titanium plates, the big bunches are split creating micro-clustered, hexagonal water.

The best water is also called electrolyzed reduce water (ERW) or molecular hydrogen water. Electrolysis splits the molecules  giving  water a negative charge. Negatively charged hydrogen water is  the biggest free radical scavenger and the best anti-oxidant to date. Alkalized water is created through the electrolysis process. Bottled   Alkaline water  gets it alkalinity through additives like potassium bicarbonate, calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate . These chemical additives can build up in our system .

 A water ionizer can turn your tap water into anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, living water. This offers best hydration on a cellular level. Not all water is created equal.
Change your water, change your life.

Lilith is an ancient Sumerian Queen of Heaven. She represents feminine power. Below is a poem by Amy Sophia Marashinsky that describes her and some thoughts on feminine power. There is a negative sense of feminine power especially when it comes to our beauty, our sexual nature, our creative energy. Often we are taught that to use allure, beauty, the sweet smile or big eyes is not fair or appropriate in business and life. Yet animals do it, children do it so why can't woman?  We all use our ways to get what we want and need in life. I am not so sure that any of it is wrong or unfair if we are being authentic.

Sexual, creative, spiritual and healing energy are all the same thing. It is just a matter of the ends used with this energy and where we put it.  There are many ways to use creativity to get our end goals met. I am tired of the battle between woman about using beauty, allure, our feminine collaborative ways, our enticing voicing, our beauty to attract, our smile to lift and lighten others, what is wrong with all this? Why do we have to use mental processes, thinking ways, intelligence and know it all mindsets to be considered powerful? That is great use of masculine power and we can use it. But we can also use our feminine power and in fact it gets us farther than the other for we are woman. Using all tools and gifts seems more brilliant.

Sexual energy, creative energy is a gift of woman. We have an allure, we seduce for biological reasons. Men have physical power for biological reasons. They use that for themselves. We can use our way for ourselves as well. It is different for men and woman. It is perfect that way and I am tired of all the movements that constantly bombard us with mental ways of improvement and growth that are very masculine. Feminine ways of growth and improvement are equally important for the end goal is for a different gender. We can cultivate nourishing energy and men can cultivate power energy. It is different and supposed to be that way. We can cultivate both. It is important that we do for our blend is unique and important.

It is exhausting as a woman. Constantly being told to do things in a way that often in counter intuitive and counter productive to our body. Our true power is in embracing ourselves, our gifts unique to us as woman and cultivating them. It is not mental ladies. Yes we have mental but we are emotional and intuitive. We learn the world, move in it and use this energy in more health and flowingness. This is feminine power and it is equally powerful and equally fair. Lets get on board with this together. It is our genders gift to humanity!

Embrace Your Lilith!

"Lilith

I dance my life for myself.
I am whole
I am complete
I say what I mean
and I mean what I say
I dance the dark and the light
the conscious and the unconscious
the sane and insane
and I speak for myself
authentically
with total conviction
without regard for how I might look
all the parts of myself
flow into the whole
all my divergent selves unite as one
I listen to what needs to be heard
I never make excuses
I feel my feelings deeply and profoundly
I never hide
I live my sexuality to please myself and pleasure others
I express it as it needs to be expressed
from the core of myself
from the wholeness of my dance
I am female
I am sexual
I am power
I am greatly feared."

As I situate myself into this new year, spring has me designing a more active, rhythmed life. I like to shift and change yet there is syncopation in order. It doesn't have to be order that chokes you. A flow to your day that adds in the things you value for health, beauty, inspiration and passion.

As I create a list of ways to support me in my day, I find they are things to satisfy myself to feel safe, healthy, productive and enjoying. I put them in categories that sound good to me. Habits that I like for they will support me being my best. In creating, if there are things I am not doing my best, I add in a practice here and there to get them automatically in my day.

As spring brings more movement, I want to use my energy wisely. Not doing too much or too little. Doing the things I want, that make me feel good, safe and supported. I do these for myself and don't expect others to give me that feel good. If they do it is my pleasure to receive. I plan in my fulfillment and contentment first. If I am to support the world in a big way, I need to be overflowing not drained or hindered.  Here is my micro add ons. 

 Feeling good in my body and glow. There are many ways to support yourself physically. I go for the least amount but greatest punch movements. I have done my few morning movements and been slowly amping it up as spring settles in. I consider movement my way to clear energy, generate energy and keep my base strong. Dancing and tai chi, some yoga and outdoor adventure are my movements to feel good in my body. Other times it was gardening or bike rides. We can add what we want this new season, new or old.  If you want to feel good, inspired, passionate, you must move!

 Pampering myself. I have some healing practices for my eyes, eating a lighter dinner supports my weight, going to bed earlier, weekly baths when it feels good and getting healing and beauty treatments monthly. Self care and healing a daily choice and a valuable one. Taking time to really relax and give myself gratitude for all the things I will be doing. I can support myself to feel pampered and cared for in a myriad of ways. I give myself permission to do them daily.

Contributing to the world, my work. How am I sharing health and beauty with the world? I promote the Magical Holistic Healing Arts podcast and Kangen water, offering ways to health. I share the things I learn from both of them and through green lifestyle choices that  work for me. I can expand how I do this,  remembering I am sharing a lifestyle. It is about many actions that support me in holistic health. I make these choices for myself and offer others to do the same. I connect people and ways of health.

Create  a sense of belonging, of community. One that inspires me, accepts me and supports me as I do them. I have a strong far away community and now need to create a local in person one. We can  discern who to be around and find them. We need others on many levels. Relationships with good communication takes time. Networks are built over time and we want them to be like us in many ways. Not as a clique, but as likeminded with similar values or  goals.  We all have many communities: work,  neighborhood, hobby, family, friends and learning. I continue to develop these and could jump into something new each week to keep exploration open. 

Doing what is fun and makes me happy. I share when others join my mailing list, about having a list of things that create happiness. It should be ongoing. Ideas for when we have a minute to when we have a day. Exploring our art of fun and pleasure as we go along. New and expanding ways as well as the old favorites. It is good to question what makes me happy, how can I have  fun. Daily choices that inspire, give me enthusiasm and passion. Exploration is fun so I plan in weekly new ways to enjoy and giggle. A list to have and do for a good life.

There are my spring lists of daily choices I am creating. It is not your standard work goals that seem to often consume us. That will happen for it is the nature of work busy. These lists are the important things that I may leave out as life speeds up. Yet they are most important. 

Make your daily choices, write them and consider them. Add in the juicing a few mornings or that salutation to the sun. Extend to new friends, work peers and partners. Find ways that pamper you daily so if all else fails you have a back up plan that nurtures. These ideas call me this spring to be most supportive of my success and well being. And....... with micro add ons, they will be my new habits to carry me forth.

Spring forward in life, vitality and joy.

My biggest learning of this last year that is so key to discuss is to be softer toward all things. Soft yin energy of compassion is delectable. Loves great form of kindness that embraces all, considers all including your self.  Valentines day is right about the corner, asking us to consider love in all things. Going through such an odd year I have softened in many ways. Most importantly toward myself.

I have let go of the tough critic in my head that has a very hard yin quality. There is a time to evaluate and discern yet it doesn't need to be the only view. We are raised with a very critical view in many ways. It is important to reflect on things to see how to improve. that is diferrent than this driving source of judgement at ourselves, at what life brings and at others. 

The soft yin of acceptance, what is is and that our relationship with the "is", supports to crest past the "is".  The soft yin accepts, warms and brings in compassion toward all things. It is truly the energy of spirit, love, kindness, all things good.

It has been a challenge for the whole year brought up many ideas and judgements we all make about life, institutions, ourselves, others and circumstances. Our idea of the world, safety, what would happen next, fear of illness, all of it shifted from what we thought. The critical part of me, having more open  and quiet time, jumped in to ask "Should I do more? Should I be seeking more, pushing more, driving onward harder?" At a regular time maybe these questions may be appropriate. Last year and even now,  slow pace, less direct interaction and simplicity are here. Not the action time or pace of previous years.

As I have made sense of it, I have found just how much of me judges myself, my value, my success based on what I call  east coast pace that is not appropriate now where I am on the journey. A softer yin, of receptivity, compassion, openness to different ideas and ways toward myself and the whole world are appropriate. Giving ourselves kudos for managing, adapting through last year rather than creating ways to move quick. A deep breath of whew, seems more nourishing. 

Many innovated greatly, we all have changed our connection channels to be open to socialize without being together. We have gotten rest and cleared many areas of our homes. We have improved our dwellings to be more supportive of being in them so often rather than out and about. We have been incredible pioneers. Allowing this acknowledgment of ourselves is part of this soft yin. Compassion for ourselves and how we have managed.

I also have found soft yin for others. Many believe differently than I yet I have honored that diversity through this compassion, and opened to the more simple things we can agree on however small. I have found great warmth in my heart for many others. Their trials, their adaptability just as important as mine. Giving loving acceptance that we are all human and despite our differences, we all are seeking goodness for our families. I have found greater compassion toward all humanity through this past year. I always thought I was compassionate yet now I am even more.

The soft yin, this nourishing trait, bridges gaps and celebrates uniqueness in us all. It is warm and kind, embracing and understanding. I have found so much more of this in myself toward myself as I journey in new lands. The celebration of me, my unique point of view and reference. No one but myself needs to give me that celebration. As energy goes, it draws in others that have the same soft yin compassion towards me to emerge.

Soft yin energy flows. It arises and creates with the  heart. I like this great acceptance and learning that I was not taught in the fullness. It is needed at this tine in the world. 

I encourage you to adapt a soft yin approach. Whether it is an insight, a perspective or an opening of your heart to all things here. It has settled me into myself deeper. it is creating a  life of less drama and more care. Care for me. Care for the conditions and circumstances others are dealing with. It has opened my heart even greater which is the call of February. We need a softer world. We all find greater experiences and deeper pleasures when we open to this nourishing softness.  It is an expanded way of being that crisis has brought.

I can only name it compassion. It is the love energy that coagulates, bonds things. I feel it inwardly and outwardly in greater depth. Understanding supports life. Kindness inspires others. We are here together so a softer approach seems embracing, mother like. We are the mothers and fathers of the future. Lets lovingly usher in this softer conscious responsibility of compassion for all, ourselves included.

Blessings in love!
