Change of Heart

 Hello Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone is doing well or getting better. Life continues to stay interesting with spring making its appearance as winter slowly fades away. This month is still heart month at Natural Health so let’s continue the conversation and acknowledge the heart and its role in our health. 

The heart is a fascinating part of the body. When many people think of the heart they may think more about a physical organ of the body. They may imagine the way it looks and most know that it is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. People might remember what they learned in anatomy class or what they were taught in school. Others may lean towards what they know about family members or what they hear on the news about heart issues. Since many people know someone who has a heart condition they tend to think that it’s a part of life and that heart dis-ease is part of life. This thinking is based on an outdated understanding of how health works. Heart dis-ease is one of the top illnesses in the US. You may wonder why this is so since it appears we have the best resources to help with our health. Perhaps, it is not about our technological advances, specific diagnostic instruments, complex systems, and/or any other physical efforts. Moreover, it may be that we have been misguided or just lack the understanding and wisdom of health. As a nation we try to use our minds to figure out so many of the issues that we have but we forget the wisdom that comes from the heart. 


Our heart is an amazing part of what makes up our bodies. It has capabilities that modern science is just now realizing. We all know of the physical aspects of the heart such as pumping blood to all cells of the body. However, the heart is capable of much more. One factor to consider is the energetic role of the heart. Research is now helping us to see more clearly how the heart helps to generate a “field” around our bodies. This may seem weird or different than current understanding but you actually can feel it most days of your life. Consider a person that loses a loved one. They may seem more down or sad about what has happened. You can feel it before they say anything. Or before walking into a house or room where there was an intense argument recently, you can feel the “energy in the room.” They used to say “you can cut the tension with a knife.” This is due to how we are picking up that energy. So you can see that our hearts can be not only helpful physically but also in different ways that can help us understand more of what is happening without needing to be explained. This world may have many illnesses and could lead us to think it is normal.


However, health is normal. Many of the issues we are facing in the world are helping us to realize that what we have been doing has not been working. It is time to embrace a new understanding and help this world heal. Sometimes it takes chaos and tearing down of what was to create something extraordinarily new.

Thanks for reading!

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...
