One of my favorite getaways to relax is a quick overnight camping trip. Sleep under the stars, BREATHE, and be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A friend of mine, Kathleen Port, shared a walking meditation with me called Horseshoe Heel Walking for grounding, getting yourself centered.

Here is how you do it anywhere, you don’t have to be camping.

+ bring your focus to the “horseshoe” of your heel.

+ as you step down, focus on the back center, then on the inside and outside edges of it until the heel is fully placed,

+ then push off at the center of the ball of the foot, towards the front. You are using the entire bottom of your foot.

As you engage your attention to this, your foot and leg awaken. Your inner and back legs engage dynamically. Your pelvis shifts into neutral and your spine recovers its healthy curves as it naturally extends. As your spine lifts, your chest also lifts and expands, allowing deeper breathing. Deeper breathing refreshes the body, mind and spirit. Doing this barefoot makes it extra grounding.

Whenever you are enjoying your outside time, be sure to wear sunscreen!

Remember that I offer High Activated Oxygen Therapy (aka Ozone Therapy) for hair loss and scalp issues, skin rashes, brain fog from Long Covid or stress, and an ozone facial for skin cell repair and growth.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

If you’re like a lot of people, you probably won’t think much about brain health until you reach an age where it becomes more of a concern. As we grow older, starting around age 60 or 70, certain parts of the brain shrink, especially those related to learning and other complex mental activities. Synaptic connections and neurotransmitter production decline, meaning that communication between neurons may not be as effective as it once was.

However, it’s never too early to start taking care of this most vital organ. Whatever your age, there are habits you can cultivate to support and maintain brain function, and, according to research, even ways to reverse aging by encouraging stem cell production.

1. Exercise: just 30 minutes of exercise a day can help reduce brain cell loss!
2. Maintain your social life: studies have shown that people who have good social ties actually live longer.
3. Use all of your senses: keep your eyes and ears sharp. It is important for your senses to function properly in order for your brain to process your surroundings.
4. Keep learning: just like a muscle, your brain needs exercise every day to stay healthy. Take on a new hobby, read, do puzzles, anything that stimulates mental activity.

There are so many resources that can help you …. and I’m putting some of them that I have created for you here!

How are you doing? I wanted to check in and tell you a little story. I’m hoping to go camping with one of our grands so am self-quarantining. Even in our new “6 foot economy” I’m not taking any chances because I’d love to get out of town with him and have some fun! I don’t know about you, but I have a great desire to get away …. probably because travel is so limited now right? How about you ….. are you getting away at all? Out into Nature?

I have loved giving online or distant treatments especially the relaxation/meditation/self-hypnosis ones which I plan to do forever! Sometime in July I will reopen for acupuncture BUT, as I just said about loving the distant healing and in the subject line that Care stops for no one! and I am still offering you care NOW.

So, what’s available for you? The Chinese character for crisis means both danger and opportunity. I have been taking the opportunity to do more online care, what opportunity awaits you?

Some of you in the past have been strictly acupuncture; some strictly herbs; and some a combination of treatment modalities. And since mid-March, some of you have been strictly online and/or strictly herbs. Now is my opportunity to offer you more opportunities than ever before for treatment.

For example, I may have mentioned my downloadable Qigong meditation to you before and you didn’t really think about. But now maybe you’re a little more anxious, maybe a little depressed, angry, not sleeping well, or in more pain, so this 99 cent download will serve you well!

I have put a bunch of other links at the bottom of this email that will help you too. Please scroll down and if you have any questions you can reply and I will answer you and help you out. Some of the items you can come by and pick up and some go to my Amazon page and will be delivered. Whatever is right for you!

Need relaxation? Anxiety-reduction? Sleep help? Sadness relief: Hit reply and we will set up an online self-hypnosis/meditation session. It works!
