What constitutes good health and how can I achieve it? Aren't these two (of many) of the questions you brought with you to this website?
I believe that what you eat and breathe and drink form the foundation of your physical body, but that is really just a start. As an example, I'm beginning to delve into the world of the gut microbiome and the value of probiotics. I am starting to see the truly remarkable connection between a healthy population of good micro-organisms in your gut and so many positives in our health! I am starting to see how important that can be to avoiding all kinds of ailments. It is becoming clear that this one factor can affect something that seems elusive to many, especially as we get older: healthy cognition. I believe it can even affect whether we cultivate a peaceful, compassionate personality! That's just one example of what is being discovered by scientific research that dares to step away from the realm of pharmaceuticals, surgery and radiation. And there is SO MUCH more!
Love is another one of those aspects of good health that can provide miracles for rejuvenation, especially when we are feeling our lowest--and there exists plenty of reasons in the world to bring our spirits lower. I find solace and a modicum of peace by embracing these three crucial philosophies about love:
Love, in all its glorious forms, is the miracle you seek and the foundation upon which to build a peaceful, worthwhile life.
Love is an infinitely renewable resource; the more you express it, the more it renews.
Love yourself without condition!
We, as human beings, have been shaped by a billion years of evolution. The road to improved health, no matter what your illness or pain or condition, is best traveled by paying attention to and honoring how Mother Nature designed us to live. The frequency that resonates from and through Gaia is a mere 7.83 Hz.* That’s a whole lot slower and lower than just about anything in the built environment of modern life. We have successfully evolved to be who we are by living in harmony with the rhythms and cycles that are as old as life on the planet. Although modern life often expects of us to live almost entirely out of touch with how we are naturally designed to live--especially in an urban setting--there are still a wide variety of adaptations we can make to move our lifestyle more in line with Nature. I seek to advance ideas, advice, products and resources in order to help you do just that!
The journey for you may require a willingness to re-examine some of your pre-conceived notions of what is "normal." That’s OK. I have found, in my own journey towards vibrant health, that few of us find truth for ourselves without great effort and often extraordinary sacrifice. This seems to be part of the nature of being human.
My focus and passion is on light and energy therapies and promoting the benefits of an organic, plant-based**, whole foods lifestyle. These are the avenues that I feel offer the best hope for revelation. I hope to keep my enthusiasm high enough to inspire you to delve into the great mysteries that surround us. I hope to inspire you to dive deep and explore what works best for your body/mind, spirit and lifestyle.

* The Schumann Resonance refers to the resonant frequency of the Earth’s electromagnetic field, generated between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. Named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann, who predicted its existence in 1952, this resonant frequency vibrates at an average of 7.83 Hz, corresponding to the Earth’s circumference. The Schumann Resonance is also known as the heartbeat of mother earth and it surrounds earth and all of it’s living beings. This is also called the harmonic ‘OHM’ vibration – the sound of cosmic energy and incarnation of pure sound – as believed by the ancient Indian Rishis. Although the base frequency is 7.83hz, there are other Schumann Resonances it can fluctuate to; from 7.83hz to 14hz, 20hz, 26hz, 33hz, 39hz and 40hz. These Schumann frequencies actually overlap with human brainwave frequencies, meaning the earth resonates and vibrates along with our brains.
** Being vegan or plant-based or following a vegetarian diet is not necessarily for everyone. I highly recommend consulting with an experienced health care provider to determine what is right for you. The determination of what is best for you can be based on many factors, including your metabolic type, blood type, cultural and ethical beliefs, family/home life, genetics and so much more. With a little creativity and community support, budget should not be a determining factor in being able to choose a healthier diet and lifestyle. If it becomes a limiting factor for you, please consider reaching out to your elected representatives in government, at all levels, and demanding better! Please also consider reaching out to your friends and neighbors and growing your own food and pooling resources to make it possible.

If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him. ~ Hippocrates
