Tree Hugging in Winter for Clearing Out Heavy Energy 

January 10, 2021 Paula Youmell, RN
Barefoot on a 50 degree day in December 2020.

Barefoot on a 50 degree day in December 2020.

Barefoot on the Earth is such a great way to release heavy energy and recalibrate oneself. But what is one to do in the Winter when barefoot activity is just not the completely sane choice to make? Well, at least not any lengthy barefooting outside.

Here are two ideas to allow yourself to let go of, release, and/or wash away the heavy energy that we carry and can weigh us down energetically. Releasing this has healing impacts on the physical body, nervous system relaxing and immune system boosting, as well as the mind and spirit.

1) Energy Bathing

Wherever you are, whenever you need to release heavy energy (think sad, angry, depressed, often thought of as negative or dark energy):

  • Close your eyes

  • Think of yourself standing barefoot on the Earth, in your favorite outdoor space of course

  • Visualize water or colorful healing light raining down on you, any color that makes sense to you

  • As the color of choice comes over you, washing away heavy energy, visualize the energy flowing into the Earth

  • Stand and visualize this as long as you need to to feel lighter in Body-Mind-Spirit

Why I Am Not Vegan Anymore

January 19, 2017 Paula Youmell, RN

I am asked these questions around food and eating quite frequently:

  • What is the healthiest way to eat?
  • You aren't going to tell me I have to be vegetarian or vegan to heal my health problems?
  • What happened to you?!... You were vegan, you had it so right, why did you change?

Just what is healthy eating? Ask that question of 10 different people and you will probably get 10 different answers... some spewed forth with the enthusiasm of a food fanatic. Hey, I only say this as I know, I could be mildly fanatic in my hey day.

Time to Move with Spring Energy!

March 6, 2016 Paula Youmell, RN

I love Spring. The renewal of life, energy, and all it brings is breath taking to me every year.

Today is March 5th. As I walked in the woods with my dog, I can feel the pull of the sun. It is getting warmer, brighter, stronger... another winter survived! I can smell scents that were not there even 2 days ago; scents of the coming Spring.

I even found a Great White Pine whose south side's snow was already melted away. I sat my butt, right in the pine needles, and pressed my spine up along this mighty pine's trunk. The sun was in my face and the pine needles under me were fragrant in the sun's warmth.

Hugs ARE Better Than Drugs!

November 14, 2014 Paula Youmell, RN

Hugs have an amazing capacity to:

  • bring peace
  • soothe the soul
  • ease tension and heal an argument
  • infuse your life with love
  • reduces cravings for sugar, sweets
  • heal the human body, mind, and soul!

What exactly do hugs do that is so amazing?

Hugs promote the release of oxytocin, the love hormone. Oxytocin is the hormone that is releases when women give birth, when we nurse our infants, when we have loving sexual encounters, and at other happy times.  When your body releases oxytocin the hormone has a calming, peaceful effect on your body because cortisol (think stress hormone) levels go down! This reduces stress and increases feelings of well-being in your world!

Lowering your stress levels through oxytocin and low cortisol levels helps to reduce blood pressure, boosts your immune function, dopamine levels go up (pleasure hormone), and serotonin levels rise (happy, feel good hormone). There is literally a ripple effect of health and mood enhancing biochemical effects that happen when we hug. 

I once heard a natural healer compare the body's biochemical reaction to hugs like the reaction to the chemical cocktail ecstasy (a pleasure inducing street drug).  

Seems to me that giving and receiving hugs is so much easier, no bad side effects, and readily available. Maybe we should start selling hugs on street corners! Just a thought.

Action to take:  

  • Get Hugging!  It is good for your health and, if you need another reason, all the above health benefits of hugs help your body balance your weight. Give hugs, lose extra body weight!
  • Get a massage. Human, healing touch releases oxytocin.
  • Pat a friend on the back... oxytocin is released!
  • Love up your pets. Pets like hugs too and you both benefit!
  • Hug a tree!

Tell me your hug stories in the comments below.

Holistic Healing Taste Testing

My latest Holistic Healing Taste Test has been with Jody Wallace. Jody is a Massage Therapist, Plant Spirit Medicine Healer, Atlas Balance Energy Healer, Ayurveda, and other forms of natural healing - body balancing techniques. 

I had Jody do the Atlas Balancing sessions on my spine. I have to say I am impressed with the results on my long-term issues with sciatica and low back / hip aches.  Jody also gives an impressive massage. I asked her to rub deeply as I prefer the deep tissue work. Her hands did an amazing job making my muscles and connective tissue feel the "aaahhhhh!"

Check out this space to find out more about Jody. Give her a call; you will be glad you did!

Life Force Energy, Healing The Collective Soul

Life force energy flows through us. Life force energy flows through all living things.

When we expose our self to life force energy (it is all around us, we breathe in life force energy) our mind, body, and spirit (spirit is life force energy) become more vibrant.

As I was walking through my wood I had thoughts; thoughts I felt compelled to write about and share. A few weeks ago I wrote about the healing powers of the great white pine. This healing power of being in the woods, surrounded by trees and plants, I will expand upon.

                                              I really do hug trees!

                                              I really do hug trees!

The woods are alive and vibrant with life force energy. This energy radiates from every living thing. When we walk in a forest, the emanating energy of one plant or tree overlaps the emanating energy of all the other plants and trees around it.

When you walk in the woods, you are literally bathing your mind, body, and spirit in the life force energy of the woodland plants and trees. This is powerful medicine, powerful healing energy.

This healing energy has the strength to bring peace and serenity to you, the strength to heal from deep inside your being.

To your natural, healing medicine bag I recommend you add a daily walk in the woods (even 5 minutes) and bathe yourself in the life force energy, the collective soul of the world.

Suggestions to enhance the flow of your life force energy: 

  • walk in the woods,
  • just get outside and walk,
  • acupuncture,
  • reiki,
  • massage,  (a new massage therapist in town, Adrea Elizabeth, is looking to grow her clientele)
  • yoga, (more yoga in the Canton - Potsdam, NY area),
  • any energy healing!
  • AND, how about trying this: (You will be glad you did!).
