With A Pinch of Salt

The book 'Water and Salt - The Healers From Within', suggests that a high intake of water with a little bit of salt is the answer to many, many ailments. I won't go into the details of how this works physiologically, you can get the book and find out for yourself, but I can telly you that after a while of drinking like this, the body will start to feel more supple and aches and pains seem to subside, making you feel more free and alive.

The body is made of 85% water, so it makes sense that it needs to be hydrated constantly.

I use filtered water and the Himalayan pure, pink salt (no additives) which has at least 80 trace minerals.

A little bit of salt in a big glass of water (500ml) four times a day. If you don't have a filter, use mineral water,  tap water is OK too (but do get a filter, it is really worth the money).  The water should not taste salty, if it does just add more water until it tastes fine.

Start your routine of drinking water and salt in the morning, to replenish the body from the loss of moisture occurring during the night. As soon as you get up drink a big glass on an empty stomach, then just remember to drink it all day long; you can take a bottle with you with already made water and salt, or you can carry some Himalayan salt and add it to a bottle of water on the go. When I travel by plane, and I can't take my own water, I carry a bit of salt with me, and add it to the water I buy at the airport.

Remember that this mixture is heaven sent gift if you are struck with a headache, stomach ache, irritability, aches and pains, cramps of any kind; so get into the habit of having a water-salt bottle with you and if in need, just sip some until the pain is gone.

I was standing in the queue at the Post Office once, (I had my water bottle with me) when I suddenly got stomach cramps.I got the bottle out and took a few sips, a few times. Not even a minute later the pain was totally gone.

I gave this tip to one of my sisters who often suffers from stomach cramps. She was skeptical. Then when the next attack of stomach cramps came, she remembered the advice and gave it a try instead of recurring to medication as she always does. She was well impressed. In no time the cramps disappeared.

When I don't remember to drink water and salt regularly, which happens, because I am human, the odd headache or stomach ache come up. These are the body's natural signals to warn you that you are running low on water. Son not only don't dismiss the signs by taking medications because you think there is something wrong with you, but remember to drink regularly so that you won't have those signals any more.

A bit like keeping an eye on the level of petrol in your tank. If you were to run out, the car would spit splutter, stall and then stop. But if you refuel regularly before the tank is empty... no worries and plain sailing!

I Had Unwanted Company

It was a bit of a trek to get to the rented place up on the mountains but it was really worth it.

The house had all the comforts and it was isolated (a bit too much) for peace and quite. A writer's paradise.  The weather was warm and the sun was shining. I settled in after a brief tour of the house with great anticipation. I was truly looking forward to spending some time there.

When nightfall came and I was ready to get into bed, I felt a strange eerie feeling.

There was a lot of of creaking and squeaking noise from the wood (it was a log cabin). Then strange images started to appear in my mind, unpleasant and threatening.

I was frightened.  I don't like being frightened. I was wondering what to do and tried to shoo away the unpleasant and violent images without much success, thinking 'it will be all right tomorrow, I am just tired',  until I finally fell asleep.

The following night, the same problem again. As soon as I got into bed, a creepy feeling came out of nowhere. I thought of switching the lights on in the kitchen and on the porch. That made me feel a bit calmer but the eerie feeling did not go away and again I forced myself to ignore it until I fell asleep.

On the third night the same thing again. I got into bed and could not bear the violent thoughts any more and I said; 'I have had enough of this'. I sat up in bed with the lights on and connected. 'What is wrong with this place?' I asked. The answer then was pretty obvious. The house was full of fearful, violent and unfriendly energies. It was not haunted but close to it.

A rented place sees many people coming and going with their own issues, their own fears, and whatever attachments they bring with themselves including entities especially if there is drugs and alcohol usage.

'Haha' I said, 'this is what it is, the house is asking for help!' and so I got down to work without a second thought.

I started the mental-energy clearing. Swept through one room at a time, did the work and planted protection (mentally) in each room, sometimes more than one thing. Immediately a feeling of calm swept over me. I was on the right track.

I then addressed the entities, which were causing the violent images, and facilitated their passage into the light and off they went. I could not see them clearly but I could feel a wonderful sense of peace, as I placed the vibration of love everywhere. It took a little while, but it worked a treat.

That night I slept like a baby.

The nights after that,  I did not turn on any lights and felt absolutely fine in total darkness even if the wood of the house kept on creaking rather noisily.

In the days that followed, I wrote and wrote and wrote some more. (I said it was a writer's paradise.) Time went by very quickly. The peace and quite of the day interrupted only by the sound of birds, replenished my tired emotional body and the sunshine gave me a glowing tan whilst at night it was a pure bliss to slip under the covers cocooned by the comforting, soothing darkness. (What a difference!)

For the rest of my stay, I never felt fear again but only a loving connection with the house, the woods, the mountains and I also dare to say I felt 'gratitude' from the house.

Homes want to be loved just like we want to be loved, just like anyone wants to be loved. It is easy to not do it when we are not aware.

Feeling uncomfortable in a place is the sign that something is energetically out of sync or that unhappy energies are seeking help. We just have to learn to recognize the signs.

Safety-Healing-And Mercury Retrograde

The past three weeks were a really hard slog!

Just when I thought it was all under control, plain sailing, Mercury went retrograde into Pisces. I had totally forgotten about that.

It was little things at first that made me wonder, and then it was like the past had come back to haunt me! The emotional sign of Pisces brought back an avalanche of emotional discomfort, more than I could have bargained for.

Uncomfortable as it was, once I understood what was happening, I wasted no time and got down to work. Day after day, writing and healing memories that has already been healed, wanting just another quick (well not so quick) peek and giving me another piece of information.

Safety. When we don't feel safe, we put on weight. But what makes us feel unsafe sometimes it's not that obvious. In fact it might be exactly the opposite of what we think.

I found out that what brings me happiness, also made me feel very, very unsafe. So I worked away and cleared the deck of everything I could find, still lingering in that portion of my energy field.

Mercury went forward into Aries on the 4th.  As the emotions are settling down we can all feel a new sense of purpose and certainly, renew strength; Aries is the sign of purpose and charge!

This work can be done in a conscious way, the way I do it,  or unconsciously. The effects of Mercury retrograde affect everyone, and we all benefit from its power whether you are consciously using the energy or not, no one misses out.

Drawing a sigh of relief we are all probably going to feel the surge of energy that will inspire us to move on to the next phase of our plans.

Fear Of Success

I took a test and failed although I was fairly prepared. I did not get upset, I knew that something had not gone the way I wanted it for a reason.

I came home and thought about it for a while. Why did I fail? I had done my homework, I had studied hard, I had the answers, but when it came down to pick the right ones, I hesitated and chose the wrong one. Why?

It came to me clear as a bell, something in me required failure instead of success.

Strange as it might sound, fear of success is more common than what we think. It comes to us at a very young age, when we sense that our success is causing someone else anguish or envy. I interpreted my young, intellectual successes as a problem and I did not like to be envied.

To avoid 'causing pain to others', I switched off  and my successes became less and less.

When we are young we react to our environment in two ways: we either don't care and get on with it, or if we are really sensitive we stop doing what you are doing for fear of hurting others.

To please others at our expenses is not the ideal way to get things done. It might have been the only way I had when I was little, but not any more now.

Once I identified where I had created that, I ask for that statement to be deleted  and put in another program that said: 'I intend to look after myself first, others can feel what they want and I don't have to be affected by what they feel. For as long as I act in integrity and self love, I don't hurt anyone. I only hurt people if I go out of my way to do so intentionally"

I also added that by being my utter best from now on instead of bringing me envy, it will bring me support and love.

Not too long after the first test, I took it again, and this time I passed with flying colors. I did not ponder over the questions, I trusted my first reaction and got through totally effortlessly.

The night before I also gathered my attention and visualized the wanted outcome. Something that I did not feel inclined to do the first time around because I had a 'you must fail' program and so I had no desire to set myself up for success.

I walked out of the test room with a big smile on my face, feeling very happy, not just because I had passed the test, but because I had overcome a long standing fear that had been crippling me for a very long time. Passing the test was just the by-product.

It Was Just a Mouse

The persistent, rustling noise was coming from the floorboard. I woke up suddenly. I switched the light on, thinking it was the cat, but the room was empty. The noise stopped and a chill went down my spine. I froze with fear. We had been talking over dinner about a restless spirit in the house. Immediately I thought that's what it was.

I laid in bed with the light on, waiting for the noise to start again. I was scared more than necessary, but I had one similar experience a long time ago, so my reaction was justified.

I wanted to get up and call my friends but I was too scared to move. I decided to do a little healing instead.

If there really was a restless spirit in the room, it would be more helpful to facilitate its release instead of running around screaming. So I did.

Breathing deeply I did what I normally do, using my healing, mental tools.  After about fifteen minutes I drifted off back to sleep.

I don't know much time had passed when I was awakened again by the same noise. This time I was not scared (I guess the healing helped) and a thought struck me; "It's just a mouse".

A house in the country with a very good, hunting cat, what else could it be but a mouse under the floorboard? I smiled at my sudden realization and at the fact that the gripping fear had totally vanished.

I was left with some questioning though. Was it just a mouse? Or was it a mouse and a spirit using the mouse to attract my attention, asking for help? (Hence the intense fear.)

We laughed about it over breakfast, but I still wonder!

A Gluten-Sugar Free World

I am not going to wait for the new year to start a change in life-style. Xmas has finally happened, done and dusted, and on Xmas eve there was a powerful new moon. It is on new moons that we initiate new projects.

My big project is a change in lifestyle, be really healthy and vibrant and lose a few pounds that have been bugging  me for a few years. I am going to give the gluten and sugar free food a deserved try. 

I have a friend who has been doing it for a while and she is doing all right, I have to admit. 

Gluten free food can be quite pricey, I agree with you, but my health has begun to benefit already, so who cares?  After only a week, I can already feel the difference. I don't feel bloated, tired and sleepy after gluten free toasts, or gluten free pasta with sautee courgettes and I feel full and satiated for hours. We do need our carbs, and finally I can have my cake and eat it.

Does gluten free food really make you lose weight? I don't know. My friend is very slim, but then again she loves her Chi Kung (chi gong) so it could be a combination of the two.

I am going to give it a try for a while and see what happens. The aim is the weight loss, but I wonder if I ought to shift the attention onto simply eating gluten free for my health and let the weight take care of itself?

There is plenty to experiment with, and no need to deprive myself of anything.  I am going gluten free and sugar free. Just substitute sugar with Agave nectar or other natural sweeteners and gluten free flours to make breads, cookies and other goodies. I will keep you posted.

Dates With The Past

Ever had a bad experience that left a bitter taste in your mouth?

For some people that is not a problem; they are the lucky ones, they acknowledge the bad experience, shrug their shoulders and move on. Not many, I must say.
For the vast majority of us, the experience is eventually forgotten but never integrated. As usual it is the feelings that we had at the time that linger on and that with the knowledge we have today can be released so that the experience when remembered becomes totally neutral.

How do you know when you have a date with the past? When for no reasons at all you start feeling very edgy and things start to go wrong.

I was perfectly fine yesterday and then in the afternoon I start to experience feelings of hopelessness and despair which came out of nowhere. Then this morning, upon awakening, I remembered that this month I have a very important date with the past. In November of quite a few years ago I got married!

For some people getting married is a wonderful experience, but it was not for me.
We went our separate ways some six years later. Those years, however were certainly not happy. I spent most of that time feeling terrible for having done something that I really did not want to do. My emotions were ranging mostly from depression, despair, hopelessness and helplessness. Not a very nice place to be in.

And this year I have finally realised that every year, when this time of the year approaches, I start to feel pretty edgy and unhappy for no reasons.  I woke up feeling awful and remembered that a long time ago, I was feeling just the same. So I took some time out and went into my emotions. They were not pleasant at all.

I was in my twenties, confused and lost, every choice I made seemed to be always the wrong one. Karmically I believe that there are not mistakes, but only choices dictated by the soul that has agreed to pay back its due. I did not think this at the time though. At the time it was either choosing between two evils, and I chose one.

Although many years have gone by, the emotions never got resolved. Unresolved emotions have a charge that get triggered on cue, just like these ones got triggered as the date approached.

When emotions are not resolved they are stored away in the subconscious, and only when we finally take the time to address them and release them, they will not bother us any more.

I did the usual. I sat down, I connected with the pain in the present, which is not pleasant at all, and the body took me straight back to that time, when I was feeling the same emotions. I felt very hard done by then, felt trapped and without choices; I was feeling like the victim that I was then.

Without going into too many details, a healing is always very powerful when there is willingness to let go of blame and anger towards others. Yes, I did feel helpless and hopeless but only because at the time I was always unable to say no, for fear of upsetting other people's feelings.

Today I understand that it is our duty to set boundaries and to say no when we mean no. If the other person becomes upset, but we have acted out of integrity, then we have nothing to feel bad about.

It became clear during the healing that I was really angry with myself for precisely those reasons, my inability to say what I really meant. By not being able to be my highest truth I created a really terrible life for myself.

So I cleared the emotional residues and replaced with new programs of self respect and self support.

I felt a world better after I finished; light hearted and free.

The past can hold a person a prisoner, but what the prison really is about is the emotions that were created then, that still resonate in the emotional field of the person.

Once those are clear, you can look forward to your life as the year goes by and those dates reappear you will find with delight that they have no charge any more and you ca finally go about your business of being happy and fulfilled unhampered and free.
