Which End of the Battery Are You?

Weight Loss, Vibrant Health, Dis - Ease of the body... How do they all fit together in some sort of sensible way?  And, what does the battery have to do with it all?

Reasonable questions, hang with me on this one and I will explain.

I work with people, daily, on their health & well being through my online classes and 1 on 1 consultations. These people, my clients and students, are motivated to change their lives, relief ill health symptoms, and live in a dis - ease free body.

The steps to getting to this space of ease in the body (lack of dis - ease) are similar for all problems:

• tease out the root causes of the problems
• remove the causes of the problem
• heal the digestive tract of inflammation of the gut lining, lack of balance in the gut microbes, remove food sensitivities...
• calm the immune system
• nourish the liver
• balance nutritional intake, balance blood sugar , & balance body weight
• add in healthy lifestyle habits (daily movement, botanicals-herbs, etc.), including whole food eating, that will nourish the body cells and whole body back to a state of ease
• understand this is a lifestyle and commit to living these changes... well, for life.

Each of these steps are personalized for each individual's specific needs based on their body's bio-chemistry and their own personality needs.

Let's get to that battery!

I have two teen boys. Teens can be snarly, negative word spouting fountains from time to time. We were having a dinner time discussion on the role of mind set in creating disease and healing the body. 

Spread Love Where Ever You Go.      Let No One Ever Come To You               Without Leaving Happier.                                    Mother Teresa.

Basically, which end of the battery are you? Positive or negative? What do you surround yourself with:

• negative or positive people?
• negative or positive words, thoughts, and actions?
• negative or positive media, screen time?

When we work to change our lives for healing, we must remember the power of the ends of our personal batteries.

Negative words, conversations, thoughts, actions, people, news, social media crap, etc. are just as toxic to our body cells as:

• heavy metals toxins
• agricultural chemicals, pesticides and the like,
• synthetic ingredients in factory made food
• factory made food itself
• chlorine
• etc. etc. etc.

Every negative experience, no matter how brief, creates negative vibrational frequencies in our miraculous & beautiful body cells. Just like other toxic impacts, these negative frequencies cause inflammation that lead to ill health, dis - ease in the body. Negativity contributes to a weaker immune system and the impacts of a weakened immune system: ill health in all areas (acute issues such as colds and flu to chronic inflammatory issues of lifestyle diseases, auto-immune responses, and cancer.

Your Everyday Positivity Prescription:

1. Every AM think of 1 kind thing you can do for someone else. Even tiny little acts of kindness have a huge positive ripple in your world and the world at large.
2. A positive act of kindness for self (10 minutes of yoga anyone?).
3. Be aware of negative thoughts creeping into your mind & stop them dead in their tracks. Replace them immediately with positive thoughts. Generating positive thoughts will become a habit quickly.
4. Negative people... move away. Surround yourself with positive people.
5. Negative conversations? Find a way to subvert to positive or excuse yourself from the conversation to go do a random act of kindness.
6. Everyday remind yourself of 1 thing you are grateful for.
7. Every night as you lie down to sleep: remind yourself of that thing you are grateful for and something good that happened that day. 
8. Remind yourself of the grateful thing every AM.

Gratitude is the attitude of happy folk!

The power of thought is the magic of the mind!  Lord Byron

Energy Out = Energy In

We will not be talking about calories here. 

I was having a chat recently about good luck and bad luck, why not so happy things seem to happen more to some people. I brought up the idea of our energy, the energy we put out in the world with our thoughts, words, and actions. I made the suggestion that perhaps if our thoughts and words are mostly negative in nature we may be actually drawing these negative happenings to us.

The response I received was this: "That's impossible. No one is in control of what happens to them."

So I then threw out this immediate thought: (I am not always good with on the spot thoughts but I do love teachable moments. Ask my kids!) 

"If some one is part of a prayer list, ladder, or tree, they are called upon to say prayers for another person or family when there is a sickness or some hardship. The person then sends prayers, i.e. positive energy, to this person or family in need. Is this not using thoughts, our mind's energy, to create a positive response or outcome?"

We agreed on this.

So my next thought I threw out was... "If we can use our thought process to move energy in a positive direction for someone else, does it seem reasonable that our thoughts and words can do the same for us?"

"Point well made" was the response.

So I ask you to ask yourself questions:

• What kind of energy do I put out into the world with my thoughts, words, and actions?
• Is there a correlation between my positivity or negativity and the general events in my life?

The energy we put out in the world comes back to us ten times over.

Whatever you put out to the univere is what you will get back from the universe.  This is one of the essential threads of the universe.

Positive out = positive in

Love out = love in

Joy out = joy in    (Yes, I am using all positive examples here... for a reason. It is positive!)

Is your life not heading in the direction you want it to? Try on a new attitude. Make positive thoughts, words, and actions part of your every minute thinking and doing. You will find positive thoughts, words, and actions filling your life!

Positive energy is healing to mind, body, and spirit.

Happy healing!
