  • Fuel That Nurtures



     Eating Right to Feel Better

    At its simplest, food is fuel. Though our preferences regarding taste and texture can vary widely, we all rely on the foods we eat for energy. Most people are aware that it is vital we consume a diverse assortment of foods if we aspire to maintain a state of physical well-being. However, the intimate connection between diet and our mental well-being is less understood. Just as the nutritional components in food power the body, so too do they power the mind. Some foods can impair cognitive functioning and sap our energy while others heighten our intellectual prowess and make us feel vigorous. What we eat and drink can have a powerful effect on our ability to focus, mental clarity, mood, and stress levels.

    Food allergies, which don’t always manifest themselves in forms we recognize, can also play a significant role in the maintenance of mental health. Thus, for most of us, even a simple change in diet can have a profoundly positive impact on our lives. Taking the time to explore whether anxiety, muddled thoughts, or inexplicable tension can be linked to a food allergy or food sensitivity can empower you to treat your symptoms naturally. The benefits of a healthier, more personalized diet are often felt immediately. Sugar, saturated fats, wheat, and dairy products are frequently allergens and can stress the body. For people that are allergic, consuming them can cause imbalances in the physical self that have a negative effect on the body’s ability to nourish the brain. Water, fiber, nuts, unprocessed seeds, raw fruits and vegetables, and vegetable proteins, on the other hand, support physical and mental functioning by providing those nutrients we do need without additional subs! tances we don’t.

    A balanced, natural diet can ease mood swings, panic attacks, anxiety, and mild depression. Intellectual clarity and agility is improved when the mind receives proper nourishment. Even those individuals who are blessed with the ability to consume almost any food can benefit from a healthier and simpler diet. Since the mental and physical selves are closely bound to one another, we must feed each the foods upon which they thrive.

  • SEED of the SOUL-offers the perfect Fathers's Day Gift!



    Loving G R E E T I N G S,

    A  F A T H E R 'S   DAY Message:
    --------------------------
    ------------------------------
    Fathers, in most families, are our special unsung heroes. They rarely ever get their fair share of adulation. Let Father's Day be your way to continue to spread the message of love.For the new father, life changes overnight. Unlike the mother who has nine months of preparation time for the new arrival, the father is quite literally yanked into the role. If you are a new father getting cold feet on the arrival of your baby, quell those fears with the wisdom that you were chosen for this role.I know one day isn't sufficient enough to honor the hard work& dedication of our parents(father) however i feel this is a opportunity to reflect on the fact that those who have someone who plays a paternal role in their lives have much to be grateful for.There are often situations and times, when children forget to hug their dad, kiss and tell him that they love him like they do to their mothers. Most of us would agree that we assume our father to be the provider for the family which can make him absent for the nurturing he needs& require. From the time, when we worship our beloved pops for all that he knew and all that he could, we move on to become a rebellious teenager, when we make it a point to argue about everything and anything that he advises to us.So this Father's day find your own special way to expression your appreciation for the wonderful man you call DAD/POPS/FATHER/DADDY!Raise a toast to your father on father's day& let him know how much he is cherished and loved!A S H E!

    One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be-Anonymous

    Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
    -Kent Nerburn

  • REIKI- The Healing Power Of The Universe!




    Greetings friends,
    Reiki, pronounced ‘ray key’, is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. It is a natural, safe and simple healing method, which allows anyone to absorb more valuable life force energy.Reiki creates and promotes self-healing, balances energies and revitalizes. Reiki channels energy from the giver to the receiver in a powerful non-invasive and gentle way.
    **¤•.¸.•¤**¤•..•¤ **¤ •.¸.•¤**¤•¸¸
    Overview

    * Receive Reiki benefits across distances
    * Address the source of dis-ease, whether past or present
    * Choose the length and location for sessions to suit you

    According to quantum physics, we live in a world of energy. Moreover, physicists discovered that matter is not matter, as people have considered it for many centuries, but energy. Physicists also accepted the view that everything in the universe depends on our consciousness and attention to events and occurrences. Everything is energy and everything may be corrected with energy use. New understanding of the outer world and inner world make us able to control and manage the energy of everything consciously and energetically. The most interesting thing is that even ordinary people may do this.

    People possess bio-energy (human energy) and have a sixth sense of feeling mental, emotional or other energy. People can develop the ability to control and direct energy because they have an inborn energetic ability to feel, determine and control vital energy. They may open up and develop the ability to sense energy, accumulate or transmit it. By learning to control and direct their own energy, or even energy of anyone else, people learn how to achieve optimum health for themselves and others. When specially trained to use their bio-energetic abilities, people can direct bio-energy towards their health and well being. In other words, by developing the ability to sense energetic fields, everyone may perceive the world around them with a more complete perspective that includes a newly developed bio-energetic ability.

    SEED OF THE SOUL offers Powerful Distant Reiki Healing Treatments::
    ¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯¸.•¨¯

    Reiki is an ancient healing art that has recently been re-discovered in Japan. The mode of transmission of Reiki energy from a Reiki practitioner to a recipient was originally believed to be limited by physical proximity. However further exploration of the potential of Reiki has found that sending the energy to the recipient or situation is just as beneficial as Reiki hands-on sessions.

    Each distant healing session is for 1 hour (or more) per session, during which I will spend channeling the healing energy to you. Sometimes your body needs such a good dose of Reiki, that the energy continues flowing for over an hour. I do not stop the session at one hour, I continue until the energy stops flowing, this way you get the benefit that you need. Once I’ve sent Reiki healing energy to you, I will always email/text you notifications regarding what time I’ve sent the energy, and how long the session was. That way there is no guessing or wondering when I’ve sent healing to you. After you receive the email notification and if you’d like to give me some feedback on what you felt, sensed, or noticed during or after the healing session, you may do so. Feedback are always welcome.

    Once Reiki is channeled to you, it starts treating and healing your whole body immediately: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    Preparing for a distant Reiki healing treatment:

    I send the Reiki healing energies to each recipient on a agreed upon time. You don’t need to prepare for the distant treatment since this is not a live healing session. All I need from you is your name (first name and last name, or last name initial), location (city, state/province, country - I do not need your full address) and/or a picture of yourself can also help, but it is not necessary. You may also list any problems you're concerned with, if you want to share them with me, but it is not necessary. Reiki has an intelligence of its own and will work on them whether or not I am aware of them.

    During the appointed time, one will need to find a place to lie down or sit quietly without disturbances so they are better able to receive the healing energies. This takes approximately an hour. Less intensive sessions lasting about a half hour are also available. Just simply say the affirmation ""I accept and I’m open to the Reiki healing energy being sent to me"" so you are open and receptive to the healing energy I send you. That’s it! For your convenience, after each distant healing session you will receive an email notification from me that the healing has been sent, so you can relate to any feelings/emotions/sensations that you might have experienced during or after the distant healing treatment.Further information and instructions are available when an appointment is made

    After you receive each distant healing treatment, be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out excess toxins from your body. It’s recommended that you drink clean water- either filtered or bottled water. Avoid unfiltered tap water that often has contaminants.

    Experiences during or after a Reiki distant treatment

    Experiences during or after a distant Reiki treatment can vary for each person. Here are a few examples. You may experience any or none of the following:

    * Feelings of peace, serenity, calmness and/or relaxation
    * Feeling energetic
    * Feeling lighter
    * Euphoria (happiness, laughing, and/or positive thinking)
    * Spiritual awareness
    * Release of suppressed/buried feelings, emotions, and/or blockages
    * Release of toxins that can trigger sweating and/or excessive thirst
    * Etc...

    What you may experience is not limited to this list.

    Anything you experience is normal. Some people may not experience anything at all, this is also normal. It can mean that the Reiki healing energy is working on a different level of your body. Some people may start noticing a difference the next day, few days later, or even a week later. Some people are more sensitive than others but everybody receives the same healing benefit. As long as you accept and are open to the Reiki healing energy being sent to you, it will work!

    Distance healing is widely practiced and is also extremely effective, as the universal healing energy will be received by you for your best and highest good. The energy may or may not produce physical sensations, but the healing energy is always received.

    I am available for distant healing sessions. These take the form of 2 sessions over 2 weeks. The days & times healing is carried out are Wednesday & Sunday evenings. It is not essential to know this nor to work out what time it is in your timezone. However, should you wish to, it would be nice for you to sit quietly for a few minutes about those times. If you are a couple and you both want to receive Reiki, sit together, perhaps holding hands. A couple committed to each other are only charged as one person.

    You can if you wish, arrange for Reiki for another person or persons (as a couple) or animal or pet. One condition of Reiki is that the person or persons give their permission for it to take place otherwise it could be rejected. So please do check with them first.

    The price for a 2 week session is-$60

    Massage Therapy

    Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It is a health option to help alleviate soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday stress, muscular overuse and some chronic pain syndromes. Massage therapy works to improve the circulation of blood through the body and to speed the removal of metabolic waste products from muscles and the kneading of muscles and ligaments increases flexibility. People visit a massage therapist to relieve pain, relax, and reduce stress.

Daily Tip:The Buzz About B6

B vitamins help support adrenal function, help calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and are necessary for key metabolic processes. Vitamin B6 (also called pyridoxine) helps ensure that biological processes like fat and protein metabolism run smoothly, and is frequently recommended for nerve injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome. Though all the B vitamins are water soluble and thus eliminated through urine when the body has excesses, vitamin B6 can cause nerve toxicity at high levels. You should discontinue use of supplemental B6 if any unusual numbness develops in the body. Food sources of B6 include avocados, bananas, brown rice, eggs, oats, peanuts, soybeans, walnuts, and whole wheat. Dr. Weil recommends a daily B-complex supplement that contains a full spectrum of B vitamins, including thiamine, B12, riboflavin and niacin.
