Drinkable Arthritis Relief

A multi-purpose home remedy ingredient I purposely ignored due to my gut’s life-long inability to tolerate it, has turned out to be a remedy I potentially needed most: Vinegar. Specifically, apple cider vinegar or ACV. It is one of three main ingredients in a recipe I hope you will join me in trying. Alone (yet well diluted,) ACV is already known to be a digestive helper, immune supporter, and weight loss tool, but combined with two other antimicrobial ingredients, it packs a powerful punch for arthritic relief, too - but only if it 'tastes' right to you.

Emotions and Our Health

It doesn't take long for astute bodywork clinicians to observe that the attitude and outlook of their client often determines the success of therapy results. Trust is key, and then courage with open-mindedness soon follow for those those who tend to benefit the most, health-wise. This is why Paula encourages every client to openly collaborate with her from first visit to last.
​For those interested in understanding how our emotions, most often a reflection of our attitude, can directly affect our health, dive deep into Molecules of Emotion.

Help Me - I Feel Crazy Emotions for No Reason!

2/4/2019

Picture
Most people are able to "feel another's pain" if they are witness to, read about, or hear about a loved one getting hit hard, say, by a baseball. Science is revealing that there are mirror neurons in the brain that allow this to happen. Yet, highly sensitive people (HSPs) have a different neurology from the average and therefore feel a lot more without even needing a known physical stimulus. These HSPs will often feel emotions or even have dreams that are not theirs.

In Sheep's Clothing

Highly sensitive and empathic people are natural targets of bullies and manipulators, some of whom cloak themselves so well as to be true incarnations of wolves in sheep's clothing. Dr. George Simon saw the sociologically damaging pattern coming long before most of us, and his insights help us to see the pattern so that it may be broken. If there are no available prey, the predators move on. Learn how not to be seen as prey. Learn what it takes to return our society to a more civilized one, where predators return to the wild, where they belong.

On Being Prepared for Natural Disasters

TSUNAMI, ANIMALS AND THE RETURN TO BEING HUMANS
Occasionally, folks ask us about where the safest place to live is in light of the traditional prophecies regarding the potential for cataclysm including natural disasters. Our response is typically that when we come to balance within ourselves, aligned with our natural path and purpose we will find ourselves in the right place. There is no one part of the world that we should flock to because of its "safety." The only thing to be sure of is not to make decisions based on fear.

    Goals

    Solutions to everyday stress involve identifying where we are emotionally unhappy and then taking action to correct or curb the circumstances involved. I love this kind of healing-based problem-solving and happily share for those seeking similar unique yet ubiquitous solutions. Consequently, the topics here may vary within health, lifestyle, and work/business.
