Our mind is projecting into the future
Our heart muscle tightens

There is a mini brain in the heart ...

Dehydration and Illness - Part 1

2/22/2020

0 Comments

A leading cause and aggravator of chronic health problems is dehydration.

“Low humidity causes static electricity, dry skin and hair, increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness, and can allow viruses and germs to thrive. Wood floors, furniture and millwork will split and crack, paint will chip, and electronics can be damaged because of low humidity levels.”

Consuming enough water through diet is the typical solution for staying hydrated. Yet, many people are drinking plenty of water and their bodies are still dehydrated. I palpate bodies for a living. Dehydrated bodies are suffering bodies.

There is a second, primary source of hydration: The air we breathe. Proper humidity levels can make all the difference. Going from the chart I borrowed from Health Canada, the comfort zone is 30-55% humidity.

Do you know what your humidity levels are? Do you know what's stealing the water out of the air you breathe?

Fibromyalgia is Not a Disease

Fibromyalgia (FM) is not a disease for which, once they find a cure, a pill can be popped and now everything is okay. FM doesn’t have a single cause. It is not a bug or a virus or a parasite. Fibromyalgia is not, despite its name, about muscle pain. Fibromyalgia is not incurable. Fibromyalgia is not in your or anyone else’s head.

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.

Five Steps Toward Autism Acceptance

2/4/2019

Nick Walker's Neurocosmopolitanism article on autism acceptance caught my attention because of it's logic, rationality, and courage to speak the truth about something that seems to scare a lot of people, on either end of any spectrum, into being irrational.

Help Me - I Feel Crazy Emotions for No Reason!

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.

Are You Highly Sensitive?

I can almost always tell who the HSPs are who come to me as clients - they are palpably different from neurotypical people - and they are often remarkably strong, because they have to be. Highly sensitive people are built differently and benefit from understanding why they are different and what to do about it in order to feel more confident, less-stressed, and better able to navigate what too often feels like a heartless world.
Elaine Aron's body of work and research is probably the best introduction for those either unaware they are sensitive or who see it as a burden. My life changed for the better when I embraced my sensitivity, which resulted in the discovery of gifts I never knew I had. Discover your hidden gifts by discovering the beauty of being highly sensitive in a world that embraces the abrasive.

Author Susan Cain may have written the book of the decade if not the century. Underneath sensitivity lie the gifts of introversion. Our world needs both and we need each other. This book could bring back the balance. Join the Quiet Revolution.
As a child, I was quiet, shy around strangers, liked to read, learn through observing, and feel close to others through touch and/or proximity, none of which was welcomed ...
