Hello all! Today I will be brief and talk about a life principle that I learned over the weekend at my seminar. The principle is about relaxation. Relaxation can be a powerful thing in any situation. Let me explain.

    Think about a tennis player. If you know anything about tennis you might know that when up for a serve you get two serves. Many people will use the first serve as a powerful serve and they sort of ‘go for it all.’ Many professionals are good enough to have a powerful serve and still make it in the playable area. The first serve is usually very relaxed because they know that whatever happens they always have another serve. This makes them not have to do much thinking about the shot and just have fun with it. However, on the second shot they know that they must hit the ball in the playable area so they are more timid and think about exactly where to place it. You will notice that the player is a little more tense and has a slower swing with his or her racket. When a person is relaxed the shot is more natural and more difficult for the opponent to hit the ball back. This is just one example.

    In life, we have certain situations that make us more anxious and tense. We feel we need to think of every worse case scenario and prepare for the worst. However, in the midst of everything and as time goes on, that situation that we thought was so scary seems to always work itself out. Life can be scary and we are all human. However, when we practice feeling more relaxed in those situations then like any skill we get better at it when a similar situation presents itself. 

We tend to think that tense and tight demonstrates strength and power. However, staying relaxed and calm goes a long way in how we move through life. It’s also a great way to limit the amount of stress that affects our nervous system which controls our body. So I would like you to contemplate today on how you can practice relaxation even in those situations. Take a nice slow deep breath in……………………….and out…………………….

Have a great day.

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
