How
I De-stressed My Life in 10 Easy Steps The human body cannot live at the level of intensity caused by constant high adrenaline output. Sooner or later something will give. That's when blood pressure and cholesterol rise to dangerous limits and illnesses appear - diseases like fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of adrenaline, as you probably already know, is to give your body a burst of extra go-power so it can have the strength to deal with a dangerous situation or get out of the way of the danger. However, adrenaline junkies, such as "Type A personalities", are living with a continual high adrenaline rush. Until they're struck down by disabling disease most adrenaline junkies don't recognize their addiction ... and sometimes not even then do they face it. Give your body a break. Your business won't collapse and the world won't end if you slow down and de-stress your life. But your body might collapse, or worse... end... if you don't do some de-stressing. Here are 10 easy steps that I used to de-stress my life, and you can too: 1. Meditate. Just 20 minutes in meditation a day has been proven to lower blood pressure and heart rate for 24 hours or longer. 2. Tai Chi and Yoga works for those AAAA type personalities who just can't sit still for 20 minutes chanting a mantra or who absolutely, for the life of them, simply cannot empty their mind. Both of these practices are moving meditations. Not only do you get the benefit of meditation while doing them, you get a stronger, more flexible body with better balance. Win/win/win/win. 3. Stop watching news on TV! It's nothing but a list of disasters designed to raise your adrenaline output to super high levels in order to keep you in your adrenaline addiction. Ever notice that the commercials during news programs are mostly for drugs? This should be a clue for you that the stress you cause your body when watching news on TV makes it weak and prone to illness. Listen. I quit watching TV news over 20 years ago and don't miss it one iota. Anything that's important and truly relevant to me and my life I hear about from TV addicted friends. I'm much happier, healthier, and a whole lot less stressed than I used to be when I watched news and engaged in the fear and stress it produced in me. 4. Support your body with nutrition. Take extra B complex vitamins to support your nervous system. Don't eat food with monosodium glutamate in it. MSG is not a "flavor enhancer". It's a neuro-stimulant. Drink non-caffienated coffee, tea, and if you must, soft drinks. Avoid diet anything, because it has chemicals such as aspartame in it - a drug that can cause Multiple Sclerosis and diabetes symptoms. Use sea salt. Regular salt has aluminum chlorhydrate (yes, the same chemical associated with Alzheimer's) in it to keep it from clumping. Then, because that chemical tastes so awful, sugar is added to the salt to disguise the taste of the chemical. Oh. And remember to drink lots of water, which flushes toxins out of your body. 5. Get outdoors. Walk. Garden. Bike. Roller skate. You need pure sunshine so your body can naturally create the vitamin D complex it needs for healthy immune and emotional systems. 6. Hang with people whom you enjoy. You can't always select the people you work with, but you can choose your friends. Weed out those who are the crazy-makers - drama kings and queens, whiners, users, complainers, perpetual victims, needy people. If you work with clients, this is especially true. Get rid of the clients who drain your energy and you'll find their vacancies will be filled with new clients who energize you. 7. Make your home your sanctuary. Fill it with things you love to see - artwork, pictures of family and friends (only those you truly enjoy, please), plants, flowers - whatever gives you joy and pleasure. Cater to all your senses, not just your sight. Make your home smell good using healthy, natural aromas - not artificial chemicals in aerosol sprays, candles, or those little things you stick in an electrical outlet. Those chemicals can actually make you and your pets ill. Scroll down to read about this month's Essential Oil, for an example of a healthy and great-smelling aroma for your home. Play beautiful, relaxing music to soothe and calm you after a hectic day out in the world. Cater to your kinesthetic senses, too. Soak in a tub, have a massage, put on some comfy, cozy clothes. 8. Pay attention to your Emotional Guidance System. Your emotions were given to you to help you navigate safely through life. Stress is caused by doing anything that makes you feel a lower vibrational emotion such as resistance, dread, anxiety, fear, anger, overwhelm, frustration, impatience, boredom, etc., etc., etc., Yes, sometimes you must do work that makes you feel any of the above. But what you do outside of work is purely your choice. And if your work is consistently giving you any or all of the above emotions, there are solutions to correct those situations*. 9. Get good quality sleep. Before you go to bed, do something relaxing. Listen to soothing music or a guided meditation. Take a nice hot soak in the tub. Enjoy a cup of herbal tea. Read something inspirational or funny. Make sure your bedroom is as dark as can be. No light is best for the deepest, most restful sleep. If that's not possible, get some eye shades... and wear them. If your environment is noisy, get some earplugs... and wear them. Better yet, listen to a subliminal or hypnotic CD or download on your mp3 player to help you relax into restful sleep. If you experience pain from your bed - sore shoulders, hips, or back - get a bed that feels good. You can't afford not to. I once suffered from hip pain so bad that four ibuprofen tablets at night wouldn't touch it. I bought one of those "sleep number" beds and the first night my pain was gone. Memory foam pads work well, too, and are a whole lot less expensive. But whatever the cost of a comfortable sleeping place, it's worthwhile if it gives you relief and you're no longer sleep deprived. 10. ______________________. You know what you can to do reduce and/or eliminate stress in your life. Just do it! Love, * Here's some possibilities to support you in correcting stress-causing situations in your life. 1. Spiritual and Life Purpose Coaching. 2. Live Your Life Values and Strengthen Your Personal Boundaries. Both online class are at www.AnInnerJourney.com. And each one is only $9.11! (I experienced an HPT session with Dakara and was so impressed with the powerful results I received that I want to share it with you. Kathy) Heart
Point Technique Heart Point Technique (HPT) is a spiritual healing modality, working with light and energy to relinquish and release limiting beliefs, cellular memories and aberrant patterns from every level of your being. HPT works in a gentle and soothing way to permanently shift the past, so you can be clear and present in this moment... supporting you in your purpose, passion and heart desires. HPT is a simple yet extremely powerful tool that heals at the heart and soul level as it clears and releases the old stories/memories. When these memories or patterns are released, your cells and your being open up to new opportunities and allow more love to flow into your life and cells. Use HPT as part of your daily practice to improve and de-stress from the daily challenges of life. Imagine creating your heart's desire by simply using Universal Light and allowing the new story of your desire to unfold!

On Dec 3, I'll have been on this earthwalk 66 years... and what a ride it's been! To celebrate I'm offering the Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation for only $66 (regular price $99). This is a private phone session similar to a guided visualization or meditation. It includes the activation of all 12 strands of your DNA, PLUS the activation of the Akashic Record (the record of your Soul since your very first incarnation), PLUS the 12 layers of interdimensional energy that surround each strand of the DNA.
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...
I was introduced to this amazing book over 30 years ago by a friend. He said it was unusual in that it could be found not only in the children's section of libraries and bookstores, but in the philosophy section as well. The story begins when the author's plane crashes in the Sahara Desert, where he encounters an amazing little prince, who asks him to, please, if you will, draw me a sheep. Little by little, as the days progress, the author discovers more about the prince and how he came to be stranded in the desert, too. In real life, Saint-Exupery was a pilot who, in 1935, crashed in the Sahara and wandered for days. Dangerously dehydrated to the point of hallucinating, he was found and rescued by a Bedouin. I, for one, shall be eternally grateful to that nomad. Nine years later, Saint-Exupery wrote The Little Prince, no doubt drawing on his hallucinatory experiences... or were they? It's a beautiful story that not only entertains adults and children alike, but one that illustrates much about humanity when viewed from someone not of our world. It would make a wonderful Christmas gift for someone you love... including yourself if you don't already have it in your library. Essential Oil of the Month
The delightful fragrance Believe helps to release the unlimited potential that you already posess, making it possible to more fully experience health, happines, and vitality. It restores hope... something we can all use more of right now. 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
