…sending positive energy to the universe…

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been on a roller coaster of feelings.  Feeling energized by our new lifestyle, feeling discouraged by financial obstacles.  All the while, an underlying positive energy has boosted me through the obstacles and escorted my energy to productive days.  Feeling so alive and appreciating the “Blessing of contrast”.

I know it sounds unrealistic to believe you can have an underlying positive energy, ALL the time, but the key is UNDERLYING…don’t underestimate yourself.  We all have bad days.  However, experiencing challenges and overcoming them is a path to recognizing the positive energy/power within.

The Google dictionary defines “holistic“…”characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole…treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the physical symptoms…”  As a holistic healer, practicing living in holistic wellness, this concept is a lifestyle.  Treating yourself well.  Your WHOLE self.

As a holisitic healer and a Registered Nurse, I recognize the need for both “modern/Western” medicine and “alternative” medicine. Both approaches have their place in wellness.  Although, there is a gap between them. I’m trying to bridge the gap. To show light on the idea that incorporating organic remedies/practices can provide a wellness that modern/mainstream medicine can not. To also bring awareness to the responsibility we all have to ourselves.  The responsibility to care about and take care of ourselves.  Our WHOLE self.

The Eye of Horus is a protection symbol from Ancient Egypt.  It is used as a protection symbol ensuring a safe journey…also became a protection symbol against all evil and a symbol of healing…

…I have my Eye of Horus.  Can you see it in Jirakee’s markings…???

“Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.”  Sending positive energy out into the universe will reflect it back to you.

Sleep is a vital element to holistic wellness.  Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to increased risk of heart disease/kidney disease/high blood pressure/diabetes/stroke…not only is it critical for your physical body, it’s also vital to your mental/spiritual wellness.  Survey’s conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) reveal…at least 40 million Americans suffer from 70 different sleep disorders (including insomnia/sleep apnea/narcolepsy/restless leg syndrome) and 60% of adults report having sleep problems a few nights per week or more…more than 40% experience daytime sleepiness that interferes with their daily activities.  Wake Up, there is a connection between sleep and overall health/wellness.

There can be so many factors as to why people aren’t getting the sleep they need.  I don’t pretend to know them all or even have recommendations for remedies.  However, I do know that taking responsibility to take care of yourself and figure out why YOU can’t sleep will have it’s rewards.

…DID YOU KNOW…Valerian root is most commonly used for sleep disorders.  It is also used for anxiety and psychological stress.  I use extract and put it in my night time tea.  Chamomile based tea.  (confession=hops is also good for sleep, so sometimes I add valerian root to a beer for my night ritual) Whatever your night time ritual is, try incorporating valerian root.  As I’ve stated previously, barring any allergies or medical contraindication.  I’m sharing remedies that work for me and may just work for you too.

I hope you find my blog valuable and enlightening.  It is my intention to share our adventures/travels, but also to share our journey.  Not only the physical journey, but the journey of life/discovery…to spread positive energy and tips for holistic wellness.
