The Winter Blahs are Coming!
The Winter Blahs are technically known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD describes pretty acurately what it's like to experience how the lack of light affects us. Besides sadness, there are several additional symptoms of the Winter Blahs, such as:
Then
and Now Now, with the wonder of artificial light, we resist those natural rhythms. Artificial light allows us to work when our body wants to rest. This is unnatural to our body and our psyche, stressing our systems and causing us to be ill with colds, flu, depression. Being the intelligent beings we are, instead of listening to our body and honoring its needs, we take drugs to mask the effects of this un-natural behavior. We take so-called cold remedies to keep us going when we have colds and flu instead of resting as our body wants. We take stimulants such as coffee to jolt our body instead of giving it the rest it needs. The result is what I call low solar batteries or The Winter Blahs. How
Your Body Gets Light
Melatonin
vs. Seratonin Besides encouraging the body to go to sleep, Melatonin triggers the desire to hibernate. Part of hibernation is a lowering of body temperature. If you're hibernating, this is a good thing. But if you're active it causes the body to want more calories to burn for heat. This results in cravings for carbs and sugar - both quick fixes for low blood sugar. This is also the #1 cause of weight gain in active people during the wintertime. Serotonin affects the body directly opposite Melatonin. When the pineal gland senses increased exposure to bright light or sunlight, it commands a greater output of Serotonin, commonly known as the mood elevator hormone. no
or low light = more Melatonin Given that probably no one is going to turn off their electricity this winter, there are other ways to cope with SAD:
October is the most optimum time to begin protocols to overcome the Winter Blahs. With that in mind, I'm excited to be sharing my ebook, Overcoming the Winter Blahs... Naturally, as my gift to you. To
download the book, just click on this link: Love, ps. This ebook is not about learning how the body works so you can trick it into being unnaturally active during the winter. It's about learning how it works so you can honor its needs and thus gain greater performance from it naturally. NEW!!

Books have always been an important part of my life. One of my most favorite jobs was working at a bookstore. I'd gaze around the store in amazement at all of the wondrous knowledge that was available to me in all the thousands of books that were gathered together in this one place. It was like having all of the wisest people in all the world in all of history right in front of me, ready to share the best and juiciest parts of their wisdom with me. Picking up a book and reading it was like walking up to them and saying, "tell me the best of all that you know". And so they did... each time I would open their books and read their words. Because I love books soooooo much, I want to share with you those that especially excite me. This month's selection is...
Scientific data puts me to sleep. Whenever I read a book with graphs, numbers, words that span an entire page, and tables of comparitive data, I quickly turn those pages until I come to the good stuff again. Not so with this book. The minute I started reading it until I got to the very end I was mesmerized. As I read a book, I highlight passages that I find profound. I found so much fascinating information that I wore out two highlighter pens on this book. Bruce Lipton explains "epigenetics", the new science and study of the molecular mechanisms by which environment controls gene activity, in regular, normal, every-day language... and with warm humor. He explains in an entertaining yet scientific manner exactly how our thoughts affect the cells of our body. He clearly demonstrates that it isn't our genes that control the quality of our health, but what we think. His diagrams and illustrations are unique and, unlike most scientific-based graphs, charts, and tables, are easy to understand. They actually add to the reader's understanding of the complex theories, concepts, and data. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. All science should be this fascinating. This book will change forever how you think about your thoughts! Essential Oil of the Month Rich. Spicy. Cistrus-y. Exotic. Warm. Sweet. All those scents combine harmoniously in this one delicious-smelling oil. Seventeen oils are used to create this one oil, designed to bring us into harmony with all things, people, and the cycles of life. It's beneficial in reducing stress and amplifying well-being. It combats feelings of discord. The aroma is uplifting and elevating to the mind, creating a positive attitude. It promotes physical and emotional healing by creating a harmonic balance for the energy centers of the body. I'm enjoying Harmony Oil as I'm typing these words. I applied a drop to my throat and heart areas. The rich aroma is wafting upward, surrounding me in a delicious cloud of exotic smells. Each time I breathe in the aroma it seems just a bit different as one or the other oils in the blend takes the forefront. Harmony Oil is one of a quartet of oil blends created to uplift the emotions. The other three are Joy, Gratitude, and Hope. These oils should be in the collection of anyone who is experiencing emotional stress. I guess that pretty much covers most people these days. Suggestions of how to use it:
Oils included in this blend:
To obtain the fullest aromatic benefits of this oil, after applying it rub the palms of your hands together briskly to warm the oil on them. Then cup them and place them over your nose. Take three deep breaths This brings the minute oil particles deep into your nasal passages, where their energy imprint is picked up by the Olfactory nerve and taken to the Amygdala gland - the control center of all your emotions and the release of all hormones. Young Living essential oils are steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils. Order
