Your Immune System Simplified
Any
fool can make things bigger, more complex. It takes a touch of genius
- and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
Albert
Einstein
When
I was growing up only kids had allergies, and it was assumed by
doctors and parents that the kids would grow out of the allergies.
Now I'm long past being a kid (at least physically) and it seems
every person I know has allergies.
How
did this come about? What about all those kids who were supposed
to grow out of their allergies? What about those who didn't even
have allergies as a child but now, as an adult, suffer from their
body's allergic reactions?
Let's
do an Einsteinian thing and make something more simple. Let's take
a simplified look at your immune system.
Your
immune system is a survival mechanism that was designed to keep
you healthy so you could continue to exist - both as a species and
personally. When you ingest something that's toxic to your body,
your immune system gets rid of that substance as quickly as possible
in whatever way it can.
Back
when our planet was not so polluted - many generations ago - there
was little that would have caused your body to have an allergic
reaction. Today your body is inundated with toxins. So many, in
fact, that it can get very confusing for your body to determine
which method it should use to rid itself of the poisons. It's common
for doctors to discover a person is allergic something they eat,
such as dairy products, and instead of their body doing what we
would think is the most expedient method for getting rid of the
toxic substance by vomiting or having diarrhea, the person may break
out in hives or have migraine headaches.
What's
going on? Why would your body react with a completely illogical
response to a substance that's toxic to it?
Simple.
It's in your DNA.
You
see, the DNA you inherited from your family has one or more encodements
that manifest as a propensity for specific diseases and ailments.
Sometimes they're called the weak links in your DNA.
When
your body becomes overloaded with pollutants and toxic substances,
it causes the weakest link in your body to break down. This breakdown
would occur as the specific propensity or weakness that's encoded
into your DNA.
In
other words, when the strain on your immune system becomes too great
for your body, it responds by breaking down at the weakest point
- the propensity encoded into your DNA.
In
our world today there's so much toxicity and pollutants that our
immune systems are constantly overloaded and are simply breaking
down at those weak links.
Things
that are toxic to your body are not just in your food or the air.
Here's a few you may not have considered:
- people
- yes, there are toxic people. They're the ones who drag your
energy levels down with their complaining, drama, negative attitudes,
neediness, etc. You can recognize them by comparing how you feel
before and after an encounter with them. What
can you do? Become aware of who they are and avoid
them as much as possible. If that's not an option, start
setting personal boundaries.
- electricity
- we're constantly surrounded by electrical pulsations. Every
building has a network of wires carrying electricity that completely
encompass you when you're inside. Additionally, we carry electronic
devices on or near our body. This disrupts your natural bioelectrical
rhythm, causing stress on your physical body and inviting an immune
system breakdown. What can you do?
Disconnect from your cell phone, Bluetooth headset, etc. Get outside
in nature as much as possible. At least once a day for 20 minutes.
Go to a park, sit in your back yard, wade in the water at a beach.
Even plunking your hands in the dirt helps restore your natural
biorhythms.
- cosmetics
- what you put on your body goes into your body.
Just because you didn't put it in your mouth doesn't mean it's
not being absorbed into your body. Rub garlic oil on the bottom
of your feet and you can taste it in your mouth within seconds.
Here's a simple rule: if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on
your body. Most of the ingredients in cosmetics are highly toxic.
What can you do? As much as
possible, go organic. For a skin moisturizer, I use organic cooking
oils (olive, almond, sesame) and add organic essential oils for
fragrance and additional healing properties. Body soap in our
house is Dr. Bronner's. Lipstick? I care not to eat petroleum,
so use tinted organic lip balms.
- artifical
fragrances
- if it's not an organic substance, that flowery aroma in your
mood-setting candles and "air fresheners" consists solely
of toxic chemicals. Those dryer sheets that make your clothes
so soft and "fresh smelling" are laden with toxins that
are absorbed by your body each time you wear your clothes or dry
yourself off after a shower with one of your softened towels.
Additionally, when you turn your dryer on, toxic fumes are being
emitted from your dryer vent for you and your neighbors to inhale.
Read
more about the dangers of dryer sheets in this article. What
can you do? Freshen the air in your home with live
plants and real flowers. Open the windows for a few minutes and
get some fresh air inside. Clean up/out whatever causes long-term,
chronic smells. Diffuse only pure organic
essential oils.
Don't
even get me started on the toxins in the food that's being
marketed to us today. The solution to ridding your body of toxins
and pollutants from your food is simple: buy organic. Not only is
it better for you health-wise with greater nutrients and no chemical
residue, it actually tastes a lot better than non-organic!
When
you clean up your personal environment, you'll allow your immune
system to rebuild itself. You'll find you have less, or even no,
need for drugs that suppress your immune system and keep it from
properly doing its job. Your body is designed to heal itself...
if you just let it.
Love,
Kathy

@ Bellingham Holistic Fair
Saturday, May 19, 2012
11am
That's
when I'll be guiding folks through a GROUP
Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation during the
Bellingham
Holistic Fair at the beautiful Majestic!
Any
time people gather together, their energy combines to create a powerful
collective energy. Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Group
Activations have proven to give the participants a more profound
experience during the activation and greater results afterward.
The
Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation is a powerful process
that is similar to a guided visualization or meditation. It
includes:
-
the activation of all 12 strands of your DNA
-
the activation of the 12 interdimensional layers of energy that
surround the DNA
- the
activation of your Akashic Record that resides within each DNA
strand
Prior
to the actual activation I'll discuss the purpose of the additional
strands, the activation process, and will give participants a bit
of pre-instructions. After the activation we'll have time for sharing
experiences and questions. I'll talk about the benefits you can
expect to experience after having the Interdimensional 12 Strand
DNA activation.
The activation is
regularly $99 but for this special event it's only $25.
Space is limited and if you want to experience this powerful activation,
preregistration is recommended.
More
information and preregistration for the activation
Before
and after the activation I'll be at one of the tables, chatting
happily with folks who stop by my table and giving away free copies
of my book, An
Inner Journey: Living Your Life Purpose.
The
activation is scheduled at 11:00am and I'll be at the fair all day.
See you there!

Book
o' the Month
Books
have always been an important part of my life. Because
I love books so much, I want to share with you those that especially
excite me. This month's selection is...
The
Gentle Way:
A Self -Help Guide for Those Who Believe
in Angels
by Tom T. Moore
I
don't remember how I discovered this book. Most likely I followed
one of the convoluted trails so readily available on the internet.
At any rate, I became fascinated with the concept that Tom presents
and his simple formula for getting help from the angels. But for
some reason that was blocked from my knowing at the time, I kept
resisting the purchase of this small yet powerful book.
That
reason became known to me during a Summer Light Conference in Sedona,
AZ. During a break, I wandered back to my seat to discover a man
standing in front of my chair handing out flyers to the people seated
behind me. He turned around and handed me one. My face almost fell
off from shock when I recognized him. It was Tom T. Moore!!
We
chatted for a while and I told him how I'd been resisting the urge
to purchase his book and now I knew why. It was so I could buy it
personally from him and have him sign it. We had a wonderful chat
and I went happily away with my new book, personally autographed
by the author.
It's
a small book and a quick read. I read it the evening after the conference
but didn't try the simple technique until I was at the airport,
in line for boarding the plane that would take me back to Seattle.
Then I remembered that Tom said he used the technique every time
he flew so that he'd have a pleasant trip. Quickly using the formula,
I whispered my request to sit next to someone interesting on this
flight.
"Kathy!"
I heard someone yell.
They
couldn't mean me. I don't know anyone in Phoenix, I thought
to myself.
"Kathy!
KATHY!!" the woman yelled again, louder this time.
Curious,
I turned around to see my dear friend of mine from Port Townsend,
Pam, who just happened to be waiting in line to board the same flight
as me!
After
we boarded, Pam sat in the seat next to me for a bit until the person
assigned to that seat appeared. The woman who was to sit in that
seat noticed that Pam and I were chatting up a storm and offered
to trade seats with her so she could sit next to me during the flight!
This
was the first of hundreds of requests I've made of my GAs (Guardian
Angels) since I bought Tom's book years ago. They always bring me
what I ask for and often something much grander. I ask for everything
- good parking spaces, safe and pleasant journeys, rapid
healing, new clients, the right words when I'm writing, low prices
for repairs and products I need... everything!
Tom
says you aren't limited to the number of requests you make of your
GAs. He says some days he makes hundreds of them!
Remember,
we live on the planet of free choice, and unless we ask for help
it won't be given. Your GAs are just waiting for you to give them
the opportunity to do something for you. Let them.
The
Gentle Way is a simple, quick, and fun way to get assistance from
your GAs to make your life easier and better.

Essential
Oil of the Month
Cistus
I'm
in love with the aroma of this oil! Freshly sweet, a little spicy,
pungent, poignant. Powerful, too. Just a drop and the delicious
aroma lasts almost all day.
Cistus
(Cistus ladanifer) essential oil comes from a rose that has a soft,
honey-like scent, commonly known as the Rock Rose. It is believed
to be the biblical Rose of Sharon.
The
aromatic affect of this oil is calming to the nerves and uplifting
to the emotions, something we can all use more of these days. It's
helpful for meditating and also during counseling and healing sessions.
Physically,
cistus has been used for respiratory support. It's been studied
for its effects on the regeneration of cells. It's antiviral, antibacterial,
antihemorrhagic, and anti-inflammatory. It supports the sympathetic
nervous system and is an immune stimulant.
Suggestions
of how to use it:
- Add
2 - 4 drops to hot bathwater, lie back, and inha le the aromatic
and healing steam vapors
- Deeply
inhale the aroma directly from the bottle.
- Diffuse
(I use a misting fountain and the whole house smells delicious)
- Apply
2 - 4 drops on location
- Use
on Vitaflex points and chakras
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.
