Pumping
Out the Toxins
Your
body is bombarded daily with a multitude of toxins from a variety
of sources - the air you breathe, the food you eat, and the water
you shower or bathe in. These are all sources you can see. But there's
an invisible source that causes more damage to your body than any
other. Stress.
Luckily
for you, there's a built-in cleansing system within your body, designed
specifically to get rid of such nasties as toxins caused by stress.
It's your lymphatic system.
Your
lymph system play a vitally important role in cleaning out your
physical system. It works much like the water shed system on our
planet.
When
the snow pack in the mountains melts, it runs downward, becoming
rivulets. These rivulets join with other rivulets to become streams,
which join with other streams to become rivers. Sometimes
these streams and rivers flow underground. Instead of flowing directly
into the oceans, as do the above-ground rivers, they flow into underground
lakes called aquifers.
So
it is with your body's toxic release systems. Some of the toxins
are released "above ground" in the form of sweat. But
much of the toxins are released in the lymphatic system, which is
like the underground watershed system of our earth.
Toxins
from the cells of your body are released into the lymph liquid,
which runs just under your skin in rivulets (ducts) which join with
others to form streams (vessels) which then empty into small aquifers
(nodes). These nodes drain into one large area in your abdominal
cavity, where the toxins are released into your lungs and blood
for release from your body.
Unlike
your blood system, your lymphatic system has no pump. It depends
on movements of your body to get it flowing.
In
the olden days this was not an issue. Today, however, too many of
us work at jobs where we sit in front of computers for most of the
day, moving very little. Compound this with this with the stress
that has grown to monumental levels in our everyday life and you
have a body filled with toxins and a system unable to do its job
and rid the body of them.
This
causes buildup of toxins in the sub-main aquifers, such as the armpits,
knees, and groin. It also increases the workload on organs that
clean toxins from your body, such as the liver, kidneys, and spleen.
What
can you do to help your body cleanse itself of disease-causing toxins?
One simple thing.
Exercise.
Lymph
is pumped through the body by muscle contractions. Move the main
areas where lymph pools:
- hips
and knees - pump the lymph with walking, Yoga, Tai Chi, squats.
- armpits
- lift weights, swing your arms when you walk, hoe your garden,
hang your clothes on a line to dry, knead bread.
- before
you shower, "dry brush" your body from the extremities
toward your heart to help move the lymph in your entire body.
Just
one more great reason to exercise! Help your body's built-in cleansing
system do its job. You'll feel better, have more energy, and will
stay healthier.
Love,
Kathy
Essential
Oil of the Month
Lavender
During
the summer, Lavender is an indispensable oil to have on hand. Because
it's the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be
without it.
Lavender
is especially effective in reducing pain and irritation due to burns
on the skin (think sunburn, fireworks accidents, and burns from
cooking over a camp fire).
When
my husband returned from his first-ever visit to a dermatologist,
he had painful, red spots all over his face and hands where the
doctor had burned off pre-cancerous skin. I grabbed the Lavender
and told him to apply it to each burned spot. Within minutes the
pain was gone... and so was the redness.
NOTE:
Do not apply Lavandin to the skin for relief from burns. Many
products sold as Lavender oil contain Lavandin instead of true Lavender.
One of the components in Lavandin is camphor, which increases the
irritation and pain caused by burns and insect bites. Lavender (Lavandula
angustifolia) is the correct oil to use for the purpose of soothing
skin irritations.
The
medicinal properties of lavender are antiseptic, antifungal, analgesic,
relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant. It also reduces
blood fat/cholesterol.
- Therapeutic-grade
lavender is highly regarded for skin health and beauty.
- It
may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and
skin irritations.
- It
has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy.
- Combats
excess sebum (oils) on skin.
- It
is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime.
- Lavender
is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting
to stress or imbalances.
- Lavendar
improves concentration and mental acuity.
- Lavender
may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Try a
drop or two in lemonade or iced tea.
Suggestions
of how to use it:
- Diffuse
it in your home or office.
- Put
2-3 drops to your bath water.
- Apply
it to back of neck, throat, temples, and under nose.
- Apply
directly to insect bites.
- Use
full strength on sunburn or other burnt skin.
- Put
4-8 drops on a cotton ball and locate on heating vents.
Caution:
True lavendar is often extended with hybrid lavender or synthetic
linalol and linalyl acetate. Young
Living Essential Oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, organic
essential oils. They have nothing added to them that dilutes their
potency or their purity. They cost a bit more and they're worth
it. They're not only more effective, they last longer because you
don't need to use but a drop or two.

The
Power of Coaching with Tarot
Unlock
your inner knowledge using the Tarot, an ancient and time honored
tool of Higher Wisdom.
The
Tarot has been used for centuries by people who desired to gain
deeper knowledge about the issues and challenges that were facing
them so that they could improve their lives.
Benefits:
- get
faster results
- discern
your best choices more easily
- acquire
more complete knowledge about your challenges
- open
to a wider range of opportunities available to you
- have
more fun in coaching and in life
- extend
your array of choices
How
the Tarot works
The
scenes on the cards are symbolic representations of the life challenges
that you, and all of humankind, face in your journey of experiencing,
learning, and evolving ever higher each lifetime. These images bypass
the conscious mind where the "Inner Critic" lives, which
allows direct access to the subconscious mind, where creativity
and choice are available.
How
the coaching sessions work
At
the beginning of each session we'll discuss the issue on which you'd
like coaching with Tarot. Together we'll craft the question - an
important part of the process. The better the question, the better
the answer.
As
the reading progresses, at each card you'll have the opportunity
to explore different aspects of the issue - the underlying cause,
what your thoughts about it may create, your hopes and fears, the
specific challenge, and more.
With
the Higher Wisdom obtained from the cards, you'll discover choices
that are available to you... choices you may have not recognized
previously. With this knowledge, you can more easily discern the
most beneficial and appropriate steps of action for you. Your
coaching and your life will evolve more rapidly and will have deeper
meaning for you. You'll achieve greater results.
The
sessions are conducted by phone and are confidential. At your request,
the session is recorded on CD and mailed to you.
I
currrently have an opening for 3 clients who want to experience
the power of coaching with Tarot.
If that's you, email
me or call me at 253.853.4033 and let's talk.

AstroArchetypes
is a new coaching tool which makes it easy and fun to get the information
you need to make better choices. It combines three powerful components:
- the
coaching wheel - a tool for identifying your levels of satisfaction
in different areas of your life the houses of
- astrology
- an ancient "map" of the twelve most important parts of your
life
- archetypes
- the different roles or personas you adopt according to differing
situations and the people involved
These
components by themselves are extremely effective. Combined, they're
amazingly powerful in getting the information needed about any issue,
situation, or relationship so you can move through fear and begin
making forward progress.
