Harness the Power of Mercury in Retro

by Leave a Comment

Oh No!  Not Mercury in Retro!  AGAIN_

Aahh.  Mercury in Retrograde.  We’re almost done.  Until next time.

Mercury went reverse on May 18, and turns direct again on June 11.  But alas, this powerful cosmic event casts a long shadow — this time stretching from the start of May until the end of June.

Of course, there are all those annoying disruptions sprinkled throughout — computer glitches, financial glitches, communication glitches… and more.   This time I got hit harder than usual.

And then there are the shadows.  Dark shadows. Old anxieties, old habits, old insecurities, old problems…..all tend to surface now.  It can feel as if everything we thought we had already dealt with cycles back for another round.

Though it feels uncomfortable to have our insecurities triggered, it’s also the absolute best time to clear them.

One of the basic premises of EFT Tapping, is that we need to clear the negative to make room for the positive.  Being thrust into our own shadows, whether during Mercury in Retro, or any other time, allows us to see what still needs healing.

Mercury in Retrograde is the perfect time to use techniques such as EFT Tapping, in order to clear old painful patterns.

When we embrace and heal our shadows, we emerge more empowered than ever.

7 Tips To EMERGE!

There’s life beneath your stuck and frozen places.  Here are some ideas to help you re-emerge into the flow of your life.

1.  Increase Your Circulation  

Cinnamon, ginger, garlic, and turmeric all stimulate circulation. Use plenty. Increased circulation will help ensure healthy nutrient flow, making it easier to move forward.  And, of course, physical exercise will boost your circulation as well.

2.  Eat Probiotics  

Probiotic foods such as miso, kefir, yogurt, kombucha, and probiotic supplements, will help nourish beneficial microflora in your gut.  A healthy gut is crucial for synthesizing the neurotransmitters that keep you feeling happy, focused and motivated.

3.  Do Something Different

Activate your brain cells. New experiences will help stimulate the creation of new neural pathways. New neural pathways will help you emerge from stuck places.

4.  Plan something exciting

Awaken your sense of adventure. Begin the process of planning a future, exciting, event or trip.  Allow the process to inspire you.

5.  Reorganize Your Space

Reorganize your work or creative space. Shifting and sorting your space will help spark new ideas.

6.  Show Up For Yourself 

Decide upon a small project or activity to complete. Next, allow 15 minutes to 1 hour to spend on your project. When your time is up, stop. Don’t worry if it’s not finished, not perfect, or if you barely got anything done. Just keep showing up until you accomplish your project. The act of showing up will activate your creativity.

7.  Try EFT Tapping

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) helps to clear the old neural pathways that keep us stuck in limiting beliefs and patterns.  Once old patterns are cleared, EFT Tapping can help you create new, healthier habits and beliefs.  Contact me to learn more. 

 

Enjoy!  It’s Sprouting Season!

Your Mystical Heart & How to Care For It

by Leave a Comment

hearts

Our hearts are truly miraculous.  My personal experiences with heart surgery have brought me deeper understanding, gratitude, and reverence for my own heart.  Here are just a few of the amazing things about our wise, powerful hearts.

  • The average adult heart beats 72 times a minute; 100,000 times a day; 3,600,000 times a year; and 2.5 billion times during a lifetime.
  • Because the heart has its own electrical impulse, it can continue to beat even when separated from the body, as long as it has adequate oxygen.
  • The heart’s electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than that of the brain.
  • The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5000 times stronger than the field generated by the brain.
  • Our cardiac field can reach far beyond the place where we are standing.

HOW TO CARE  FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART

Food— Eat a high-fiber diet, with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and minimally-processed animal products.  Limit sugar and processed foods, and don’t smoke.  Probiotic foods will help prevent  damaging inflammation.

Drink Tea — Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea helps reduce cortisol, which left unchecked can wreak havoc on your heart.  Organic India makes a good product in a variety of flavors.  Mountain Rose Herbs (www.mountainroseherbs.com) offers a delicious Tulsi  in bulk.

Another wonderful tea is Spring Dragon Longevity Tea, from Dragon Herbs (www.dragonherbs.com). This tea is made from the herb gynostemma, which benefits healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood flow.

Exercise — Regular cardiac exercise helps to oxygenate the blood, keeping the heart healthy. Aim for 30 minutes of cardiac exercise 3-5 times per week.

Laughter — Add laughter to your everyday.  Studies have shown that laughter helps to dilate your blood vessels, reducing stress on your heart.

Gratitude —  Cultivate feelings of gratitude for your life. Studies show that positive feelings such as love and gratitude positively effect heart-rate variability.

Stress Relief —  Stress can damage the heart by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Reduce stress daily with activities such as yoga, walking, music, prayer, and meditation.

Try EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) — EFT is one of THE most powerful techniques for reducing cortisol, anxiety, and stress — FAST!

Be Well,

Marian

Holiday Tips to Clear your Body & Mind

by Leave a Comment

green drink ingredients

Stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie, cookies, candy,  wine, and special drinks are the perfect holiday fare.  But we all know how easy it is to over-indulge.  And, how sleepy, foggy, and sickly we can feel from eating or drinking too much.

So, for times of seasonal over-indulgence,  I’ve devised a quick arsenal of tips to clear the fog.  Sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and heavy foods are all acid-forming.  Too many acid-forming foods will upset your pH balance, causing you to feel discomfort.   The following tips will help you re-alkalize your system and clear your body-mind.

  • Drink a glass of “green” drink  before bed and upon rising.  — A concentrated green powder drink  or fresh green juice will help to re-alkalize your system, reducing the acid-effect from refined carbohydrates.
  • Drink green tea instead of coffee.  Coffee has more caffeine than green tea, and can overwork your adrenal glands — making you tired.  The theanine in green tea provides a calming effect, and tempers the negative effects of the caffeine, while still promoting focus.
  • Drink lemon water.  Keep some organic lemons on hand.  Fresh lemon squeezed into water will help flush toxins out of your system.  Brush or rinse your teeth afterwards.
  • Drink a glass of Emergen-C, 1-2  times a day.The Vitamin C will help boost your immunity, the B Vitamins will boost your brain power. Stress, refined carbs, and alcohol deplete these vitamins.
  • Drink a teaspoon or two of raw apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water.  Helpful for morning-after head ache and indigestion.
  • Try a dab or two (1-2 teaspoons) of umeboshi plum paste after a meal or an evening out.  Umeboshi plum is sour and salty, and will help you digest your food and  re-adjust the effects of holiday treats.
  • Eat miso soup.  Miso soup, when made correctly, is nourishing, alkalizing, detoxifying, and probiotic.  Contact me if you’d like my easy recipe.

Easy Alkalizer Juice
Alkalizing and cleansing.  Perfect for the morning after too much of anything.
1 cucumber
4 stalks celery
1 green apple, cored and seeded  (do not juice seeds)
1 handful greens such as spinach, kale, baby greens, lettuce, dandelion greens, etc.
Juice all ingredients together in juicer.

Enjoy the season!
