LIVER & ONIONS.....NUTIENT DENSE


Chris Kressor author of "The Healthy Baby Code" says "LIVER is very nutrient dense and important to eat for FERTILITY and PREGNANCY, as long as it is grass fed, hormone, antibiotic free." I had not had liver gosh since I was in high school living at home. I got this at Wholefood's today and the butcher pulled out the whole beef liver vacuum packed. He cut me a few slices fresh and some to freeze. At any rate it was very delicious, sauteed in butter with the sweetest NY onions and some garlic and a splash of merlot.

IN FOR LOW BACK PAIN OUT WITH NO PAIN AND FLOATING.....


Acupuncture tunes you into a higher part of your self, it opens up the endorphins in your brain and that it why you almost feel euphoric like. I remember my first treatment, I went in for low back pain and came out feeling like someone had given me an elixir and I was not sure I could drive back home to St. Pete. at the time. It was amazing, and that good feeling lasted for the whole week. Relief of my low back pain was great but the added bonus of feeling like nothing in the world could bother me, was huge. I continued to go for treatments for 2 months twice a week. I never got that high as much as I did the first time but I still felt relaxed and calmer. Subsequent treatments over the years often make me feel like I am floating.

MEDITATIONS FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING BY TARA BRACH

TARA BRACH CONVEYS "THE BOUNDARY OF WHAT WE CAN ACCEPT IS THE BOUNDARY TO OUR FREEDOM"
I say, Everyday when I can be willing to accept with grace or not, I find something opens up I had no idea I would have found, had I not said "okay lets go with this 'I hate this moment....'and see what happens when I allow it to be as it is."
I have to say "thank you" to all the spiritual teachers including my own Catholic up bringing, Eckhardt Tolle, Gangagi, my own Mother, my own Father.

The Path of Homecoming, a free audio teaching from our dear friend Tara Brach - http://bit.ly/1dWXjGg

Wouldn’t life be great if we didn’t have any conflicts, disappointments, suffering, illness, or death? We often act from an unexamined belief that our life would be perfect if we could avoid everything we don’t like. Yet Dr. Tara Brach teaches that by trying to avoid our pain, we often miss what is most beautiful in life—and why it is beautiful.

In this excerpt from the audio program Meditations for Emotional Healing, selected by Sounds True producer Randy Roark, Tara explores the practice of surrendering to life exactly as it is. It is in this state of presence, she says, that we can find what’s better than a life without suffering—life itself, in all of its beauty and richness, sadness and loss, filled with mystery and wonder, just the way it is.

Acupuncture Catching Up With Massage for Relaxation

I often muse how long it took massage to catch on here in Tampa back in the early 1980's when I was first doing massage and you had to specify it was a "Therapeutic Massage". Now everyone gets massages, loves them. So, I think it may be that way for acupuncture here, where people are still skeptical of the relaxation and health benefits of it. I hear comments like, "is it going overboard for what I need with my fertility or health?" Or RE doctors saying you can "try it, won't hurt". And yet in CO, CA, NY it is hot, people seek it out as a first option for their health maintenance and fertility. Why? It is less invasive, good for you, cheaper in the long run.
I recall one of my fertility patient's telling me Dr. Schoolcraft in CO requires women, especially over 35 to get acupuncture for 3 months before even coming to see him. I believe he said Chinese Herbs and supplements as well too.

Conference Call with Dr. Randine Lewis on "Viewing Your Fertility through an Eastern Lens"

Dr. Randine's conference calls are super. She is so insightful and always taps into the deeper stuff linked to fertility which is crucial to your healing. Surrendering is hard when it comes to our desires that is why often the tears allow us to release the tight grip we hold and open up to God's love and our true source. You can "think positive" till you are blue in the face but so often when women allow the emptying out of tears and sadness....the allowing happens on its own.

Viewing Your Fertility through an Eastern Lens"
Sunday, September 1st at 8 p.m. EST

The Western medical attitude about fertility is not all that complex, but can be limiting. Reproductive medicine views fertility as a function of young ovaries, unblocked fallopian tubes, a uterus with no obvious obstructions, and laboratory values within normal limits. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, views the lab values and reproductive organs as mere reflections of our underlying fertility, which is a function of the the spirit, the blood, the heart, kidneys, spleen, liver, how our various life energies interact with our environment, and how much "essence" we have available to support new life after it has taken care of the demands of our own.
Join Dr. Lewis on a conference call Sunday, September 1st at 8:00 p.m. EST as she discusses a more holistic view of fertility based on the ancient Eastern system of healing. For those interested in learning about diet, Kathryn Flynn will lead a discussion on nutrition and fertility following Randine's call.
