Water:

This is my personal favorite. I love water and I love the feeling of water flowing over my hands, even as I wash dishes! And I absolutely love being caught in the rain. Take a water bath when you need to be revitalized, when you feel drained. You can take a water bath in the obvious way, by getting into the tub, but avoid a bubble bath and try using sea salts instead. Bring a cup into the tub with you to scoop up the water and pour it slowly down your shoulders and arms. Imagine that you are cleansing on a different level and that your energy is being restored. You will start to feel revitalized and energized without feeling hyper and panicky. A shower is also another way to reap the benefits of water. When taking a water bath, keep in mind that cool water clears energy while hot water sets it, so it is a good idea to use lukewarm water when you are trying to clear or move your energy. (more…)

To cleanse or balance energy is simply to move energy that is stuck or displaced. (more…)

Breast cancer is a disease that strikes fear in the hearts of many women. Although it ranks well below heart disease as a cause of death for women, it is viewed with perhaps even more trepidation. Indeed, it is estimated that nearly 183,000 new cases of breast cancer will occur in the United States during 2000, and it is expected to cause about 41,000 deaths. Thus, women are intensely interested in the results of research on breast cancer prevention, and the media avidly covers the results of such research — perhaps too avidly. (more…)

Are detoxifying foot pads actually effective?

It depends on who you pose the question to.

When you inquire of a medical professional at a state-run hospital, you will be told that detoxifying foot pads aren’t effective.

This is understandable. They don’t care for something derived from the arena of alternative health treatments. The truth is, they are skeptical about anything that is natural. (more…)
