Health experts say sitting can be hazardous to our health. In fact, prolonged sitting has been linked into a number of diseases and health issues. However, perhaps what’s more concerning is what we do while sitting – mindlessly scroll and browse through our social media feeds. Indeed, social media has become an important and inescapable part of our everyday lives. Yet a growing number of studies are showing that heavy social media usage might be significantly affecting our brains more than we realize. How Social Media Can Drain Your Brain Social networking platforms have provided an indispensable benefit to connect people and have allowed us to share thoughts and conversations. …

The bodies of humans and animals are composed of a variety of both chemical and physiological processes. These processes are controlled by electromagnetic energy which means energy constantly flows through the body in different forms. These waves are responsible for communicating different feelings, emotions, and behaviors throughout the body and among surrounding people and animals. The connection established by proximity allows for various energies to travel and resonate with one another. Electromagnetic energy travels through the body similar to light or sound energy. Energy is composed of many waves vibrating at different frequencies. Traditional wave theory can be used to explain the phenomenon behind the spreading of energy waves. Energy…

Everyone experiences unpleasant stressors in life. These can be a result of family issues, workplace stress, problematic relationships, illness, and more. Emotions arise as a result of these stressors and can have immense effects on mental and physical health. This so-called “emotional baggage” must be evaluated and analyzed to maintain feelings, emotions, behaviors, and overall health. Emotional baggage is often detrimental to emotional health. The amount of baggage carried by an individual is often underestimated in its level of influence; therefore, the necessary coping skills and strategies are not employed in response to these stressors. Acceptance is often alternatively employed to passively accept the existence of baggage. This complacency compromises…

Sometimes our fast-paced, high-stress world sets the stage for sleep to be far less effective than we need it to be.  Our bodies and subconscious rely on getting a good night’s sleep much more than you may realize.  A great deal of rejuvenation takes place during those periods of deep sleep, and if we aren’t getting them, some of those repair processes are left undone. When our bodies are fully relaxed and in a deep state of sleep, our muscles are also relaxed and the blood passes through the circulatory system more easily and becomes more fully oxygenated as it passes through the lungs (this removes carbon dioxide from the…

An example of an affirmation could be, “I am capable and worthy.” Utilizing affirmations is a helpful tool to shape a life you find fulfilling. Affirmations have the potential to challenge and change negative thought patterns entrenched in your mind. Even if you initially doubt the statements, your subconscious mind registers them and can facilitate change. With consistent repetition and genuine intent, affirmations can gradually alter your beliefs. How to Effectively Use Affirmations Start by compiling a list of…

I’m often asked what kind of feelings you may experience after a session or reading (emotional and physical). To be honest … it all depends.  Some folks feel energized and fantastic while others feel emotionally drained or out-of-sorts.  And it depends on whether you are sensitive to vibrational energy shifts in your body. Energy healing may be subtle – but it is very powerful and can be a wonderful tool that leads to profound health benefits.  Let me see if I can explain … Whenever we do energy work (and that’s what all my work is about), we are changing the body’s vibrational energy.  Most folks can’t physically “see” this, but…
