Supplements, osteoporosis and vitamin D
08 Jun 2011 Leave a Comment
Hey
I attended last night a fantastic talk by a naturopathic nutritionist Saira Salmon. She talked about why we should take supplements, osteoporosis and vitamin D. I found it extremely interesting and informative so thought I would share it with you. So in brief here it is:
Why do we need to supplement?
Most Westerners suffer from Type B malnutrition. The diseases which people are dying of in the 21st century are mostly metabolic/ degenerative diseases. The human body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs to work properly. There are a number of reasons for this. The soil doesn’t have the nutrients it used to. 10% of UK soil is now infertile. Pesticides and chemicals are used to help the plants grow but in doing this it is stripping the soil of nutrients.
You have to eat today 10 tomatoes for every 1 that your grandparents did to get the full benefit. Enzyme inhibitors are sprayed onto fruit to give it a longer shelf life, but those same inhibitors prevent your digestive system from working properly. Fruit is picked when it’s not ripe so doesn’t have the full nutrients it should.
So how do you start getting the right nutrients into your body? Supplements. A good multivitamin is essential as is Omega 3. Omega 3 is essential for good skin, heart health and cell membranes. Antioxidants= Anti ageing. Try Zambroza.
Supplements provide what your diet is lacking. Taking supplements is part of looking after yourself.
Osteoporosis
There are 4 major causes of osteoporosis:
1) Poor body PH. The majority of western food is acid forming. Dairy, coffee, alcohol, wheat and sugar. 80% of our diet should be alkaline but it is more the other way round. The body starts taking calcium, magnesium and potassium from the bones to counteract the acid forming in your body. Try to include more fruit and vegetables in your diet. Try Liquid Chlorophyll. I have seen the results with this myself. Having been drinking it for a while I did a PH test and my body was around the 8 mark, alkaline.
2) Hormonal imbalance- when there is more oestrogen than progestorone in the body and vice versa. This can be caused by the contraceptive pill as well as HRT medicine.
3) A deficiency of bone building nutrients in the body calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, silica, phosphorous and boron
4) Some drugs eg anti seizure medications and thyroid hormones.
By eating a PH balanced diet, avoiding soft drinks and wheat products and cleansing, cleansing and cleansing these will help.
Supplements you can try include skeletal strength, calcium magnesium, food enzymes, horsetail and rosemary and vitamin D
Vitamin D
There has been a lot in the press recently with regards vitamin D deficiency. Rickets can be caused by this. Vitamin D can help to aid calcium absorption and tooth decay. Vitamin D can be found in oily fish and milk. If you are out in the sun vitamin D can be absorbed by the skin, but this can take up to 48 hours to be absorbed. By showering it washes it straight off.
Vitamin D is stored in the liver. The governments RDA is 200 IU, however scientists have recently discovered that a minimum of 5000IU is closer to the mark. In winter we should be taking supplements to help us obtain Vitamin D.

How to stay calm at work by protecting yourself
07 Jun 2011 Leave a Comment
These last few weeks I have come into contact with a lot of people who are stressed, or having to deal with a lot of negativity in their lives. The impact that stress and negativity has on a person’s health and wellbeing can’t be underestimated. I have been telling people about grounding and protecting themselves to help in their day to day lives. If you haven’t heard of this I will explain, if you have feel free to jump to the next paragraph.
When you wake up in the morning, put your feet directly on the floor. Now imagine that there are tree roots growing out of your feet and connecting you to the earth. ( I know this sounds strange if you’ve never tried it but trust me it works) Imagine they have planted themselves in the centre of the earth. Now there are a couple of things you can do next and my advice is to do whatever works for you. You can imagine a white light travelling back up the tree roots and surrounding your entire body, so you are now protected by a white bubble. You can imagine you are putting on a cloak, which no-one but you can see. You can imagine armour, or I used to imagine I was in a hamster ball and only I could get into it. By doing this you are protecting yourself from anyone/anything you may come into contact with, which may try to invade your space and your energy.
I have to say I found this a very effective tool whilst in retail. Not only can you get abuse from the customers sometimes, but you have a lot to deal with and before I learnt these techniques I would come home emotionally battered. Deflecting negativity, or anger is also a good way to avoid someones energy invading yours. Just imagine whilst they are yelling at you that you have put up a mirror in front of them, now whilst they carry on shouting/ getting angry it is now aimed back at themselves. I’m not necessarily saying this is good for that person, but if it helps you to remain calm and stay unstressed then try it.
For me I find my crystals work well. Either using them as a chakra balancing set, or simply holding rose quartz. I have put a few crystal sets online www.nrg-healing.com. If there are any specific ailments, or you would like a crystal set specifically for stress please let me know and I will be happy to put a set together for you
I was going to write this blog about something else completely but my fingers seemed to want to type this so there you are. If you have any tips on how to stay destressed or what has helped you please feel free to comment.

I haven’t blogged for a while. This is partly due to the fact that I have been busy getting some courses completed. I have just found out that I have passed my anatomy exam with 92% yay! I have also made a start on writing my Reiki manuals so I will then be able to go ahead and do my Reiki teacher course. I am looking forward to doing this as it then gives people the tools themselves to heal themselves.
I have been catching up with friends and family recently and realising the importance of spending quality time with them. I have also been spending time promoting Natures Sunshine products. Its so important to look after yourself on the inside as well as on the outside. I don’t think it’s ever too late to start having a healthy balanced diet.
I met with my Reiki master last week to discuss me going further in my Reiki path. Like I said once my manuals are written then I will be able to go ahead with the Reiki teacher course. I am attending some business courses over the next couple of weeks to increase my learning on that side of things too.

Angelic connections
28 Apr 2011 Leave a Comment
Once a month we attend psychic and spiritual fellowship and see various mediums, or student mediums practising their mediumship. The lady who runs these also runs courses from time to time. Having picked up a leaflet for Angelic Connections I was intrigued, so along with hubby and a couple of our friends we spent a day last weekend doing this workshop. It was interesting to say the least. We started off with a meditation where you were supposed to meet a guardian angel. Mine wasn’t what I would describe as an angel, but he had the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen. Anyway I listened to the beginning of the meditation but somehow completely managed to ignore the end. When asked if I entered the temple I didn’t know what they were talking about. One of our friends didn’t hear any of it, she drifted off into her own world and one woman was happy lying on a beach. Anyway I digress. Following this we were asked to do a practical where we had to sit opposite someone and give them a message from an angel. It was to be a one sided conversation. You know when you sit opposite someone and they are either really bored by what you’re saying or just don’t like you it was a bit like that, very unnnerving.
I started off talking about the weather, as you do. Then the ladies motorbike and then I just drew a blank. I decided to tell her a dream I had had instead about an giant angel and how I couldn’t get over the size of his hands, he was huge. His name was Chamuel. From there I can’t remember much of what I said but I know I had to tell her that dream as it was relevant to her.
The afternoon began with a meditation again. We then had to try and deliver a message from spirit through our angels. That was tough! I was sat in a room practically full of mediums and I thought OMG how am I going to get anything from this? Anyway whilst we were sat in a circle I asked the angels to bring someone through to me so I could get a headstart and wouldn’t be sitting there looking like a melon. I had an image of a little girl come to mind, with pigtails and bows. She was just standing there. We were paired up and I was going to go first, until the lady teaching the course said the other lady was. So the other lady went first and picked up on things which she couldn’t have known and brought my grandma through. It was lovely to hear.
Then my turn. So I started by telling her there was a little girl here and went on to describe her. I then stopped, ok what next? I asked the angels to help me and give me more. I started telling this lady how she used to have fun with this little girl when they were younger, I thought she was about 10. I could then see her picking daisies and throwing them in the air. I was then shown Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz with red glittery shoes. Then daffodils and finally this ladies husband. When I asked her whether she could take any of it she told me she had known a little girl who had died when they were about 10. Her email address has the name Dorothy in, which is a family joke and her brother had recently given her a brooch of red slippers. The daffodils were significant as her dad used to be a coal miner and when he came home he liked to see daffodils as they were a bright yellow, compared to the contrast of the darkness.
You know when you sit there mouth slightly agape? Well that was one of those moments. Another lady had one of those moments as well. Nearly everything everybody said was true.
I haven’t practiced yet but when I do I will let you know

Crystals, Spirits and Edinburgh
05 Apr 2011 Leave a Comment
A lot has gone on since I last wrote my blog. We had a pamper evening at The Bell Inn, Stilton which went quite well. So far the feedback has been positive 
We then took a trip up to Newcastle to see the family before heading up to Edinburgh. We stayed at the Hotel Du Vin, Edinburgh. This was the location of an old lunatic asylum back in the 1800′s. Now I don’t know whether it was becuase I knew this or not, but our room was based in the old part. And I have to admit I didn’t get a lot of sleep. Hubby took a lie down after walking round Edinburgh all day. As he drifted off he told me to give him a shove if he fell asleep. Well someone must have been listening as five minutes later he jumped up, shaking asking if I’d hit the top of his head lol! It took a bit of convincing for him to realise that I hadn’t touched him.
We went down into the vaults, both Blair Street and Niddry. Personally I felt that there was a lot more going on in the Blair Street, however apparently Niddry is the most haunted.
I am currently in the process of redoing my website so if anyone has any feedback they would like to give me feel free. The website is
I am going to be putting my crystals on there that I am currently selling, also crystal sets. I made some for a friend last weekend. I am going to be offering them for certain situations as well as ones already made up. So for example if you want to buy a crystal set for a friend moving into a new house then I would choose which crystals would work best. Include descriptions of those inside the bag as well as how to cleanse them.
I have a pamper evening on Thursday at a school in Whittlesey, then on Sunday I am off to a baby show to give Reiki treatments as well as selling my crystals. All go at the moment I tell you. I am still in the process of creating my introduction to crystals workshop, but as soon as it is ready I will be letting you know.
Whilst I was away I had a couple of dreams about Tsunamis. I was hoping it wasnt a premonition, so when I looked online and found a whole number of people having these dreams I was intrigued. Some spoke of tsunamis relating to emotions, whereas some spoke of them being significant in relation to 2012. Any ideas feel free to comment.

Reiki presentation
15 Mar 2011 Leave a Comment
This evening I am attending a womans group to give a presentation on Reiki. It has taken me a while to write this as I have wanted to cover the basics but not confuse people at the same time. I can, as some people know,tend to go off on a tangent at times and even though I wanted to cover chakras and their meanings I didn’t feel it was the right time to cover these too. Therefore I have kept it fairly simple. Bit of a background into who I am and how I came into Reiki, the history of Reiki, the main pronciples, the benefits and what to expect from a treatment. It should last roughly 15-20 mins then I’m planning on doing taster sessions for people.
I also have planned a crystal presentation for next week at my meditation class, and then possibly be attending 2 pamper evenings. Then onto second weekend of anatomy and physiology. I still need to learn muscular and skeletal before next weekend then I have fully caught up.
Think thats it for mo, wish me luck

And so we begin……

Last week was like having a week off work but at home and chilling a bit. Got the usual housework bits done. Ironing, tidying even cooking Get me lol. For those who know me I am not a big cook, I even made lemon mousse yesterday.
Now this week dawns and its time to make a start, so this morning I headed off to an enterprise centre and have a meeting with a business advisor on Friday and attending a tax workshop. OK so the latter doesn’t sound that interesting but its only a couple of hours.
I have been researching reiki and pregnancy, as well as crystals and pregnancy for my forthcoming stand at a baby show nearby. So that needs typing up and leaflets produced. I have ordered bags for my crystals and will be producing crystal chakra sets with guides on how to cleanse and charge them.
As well as the pamper evening at the Bell Inn, Stilton on Wed 30 March I am now also attending one at the Jack Hunt School on the 24th March. I have given away a couple of free treatment vouchers at a couple of pamper evenings I have attended.
My dad last week was back into hospital for an operation on his eye. The retina detached and the first operation was unsuccessful so he has had to go in again. I have advised him to use red jasper and citrine to help him heal. Red jasper is apparently good for any healing after a surgery, whilst citrine is supposed to be good to help with visual impairments. He has been holding them whilst lying down. Fingers crossed they will help. I have also been sending him distant Reiki healing. Tomorrow I am doing our first timed healing session, which will be interesting. I will let you know the outcome.
So this evening I am at a networking event which should be interesting. On Wednesday myself and another therapist are getting together to do a treatment swap on each other. And in the meantime I will keep planning and finding what else is going on nearby that I can get involved in.

Day 1 of the rest of my life And I have spent today at an anatomy and physiology course. OMG how amazing is the human body? It is so complex who on earth could have come up with it? We learnt about the circulatory system, lymphatic and additional organs eg ears, eyes, and mammory glands. Very very interesting but I am going to have to read the text books to understand it a lot more. we got talking about deodorant and whether you should use it or not. Now I’ve always read in magazines that chemcials in deodorant cause cancer. However what I didn’t realise was that lymph nodes, which are under your armpit are there to get rid of waste products. When you mask them with deodorant it stops them doing their job properly. Who knew? Anyway day 2 tomorrow and learning about nervous system as well as digestive, looking forward to it.

It’s been a fairly quiet week this week. After the mad weekend with my sisters wedding it’s taken me nearly all week to recover lol. Me and hubby have joined a gym so will be hitting that from next week. I will need to stay active to make sure I don’t pile on the pounds when I stop treading the aisles of Tesco.
I was at a pamper evening last night at Clare Cottage in Helpston. It is a beautiful cottage. John Clare originally lived there and its now been renovated into a museum. I had a fairly successful evening and really enjoyed meeting the other therapists there.
One more week and then thats it. Anatomy course is booked for the Saturday and Sunday once I finish.Then studying for the exam in April. Can’t wait

I sold my first two crystals today woo woo! How exciting In my head there is a lot I would like to do. Anatomy course, reflexology, meditation classes, crystal workshops, reiki and selling crystals. It doesnt seem a lot but it takes a lot of time to learn all the relevant stuff. I am hoping to go for my reiki teacher next year. I have had quite a few clients this year who have really enjoyed the sessions and are willing case studies.
I have 17 days to go before I can start ploughing into it. I can’t wait
