My Yoga Mat IS My Magic Carpet

OR... Why I Love Yoga, Take 3!

4 1/2 years ago I wrote an article titled Why I Love Yoga and Other Thoughts on Whole Food, Whole Health Healing that has been published on several Yoga, Mindfulness, Health, & Healing websites. It was my attempt to lure you into a personal practice that will transform the manner in which you exist in this world and support you making the best health and healing choices with each and every choice you need to make!

Did I lure you? Are you immersing into yoga to change your inner landscape so your outer world blossoms?

Grounding Yourself for Emotional Healing

August 2, 2017 Paula Youmell, RN

1. Remind yourself that you are in complete control of you.

2. Start your day with an AM grounding experience. I do a blended visualization / meditation that takes 5-7 minutes and grounds me for the day. I sit on the stone steps in my back yard with my feet in contact with the ground. (Urban dwellers, sit and visualize your feet in the grass, connected to Mother Earth!) I close my eyes and visualize white light coming from the ground, up through my Chakras and Nadis, then turns around at the crown Chakra and goes back into the earth taking all negative (dark light) energy back into the earth to be absorbed. I visualize white light coming from above, through my crown Chakra, and circling back up at my root Chakra taking negative energy back into the atmosphere. I do both of these twice.

Healing oneself takes an individual's active participation in the process. This participation can be physical (body), emotional (mind), or spirit work. Often times, all three woven together into a beautiful Self-Healing tapestry is your healing magic in action.

We live is a culture that generally works from a space of passive health care.

One western medicine scenario:

Not All Vitamin Supplements Are Created Equally

February 16, 2017 Paula Youmell, RN

Nature Made? Hmmm, name sounds safe enough. It is Nature made, correct?

People grabs these cleverly named supplements off the shelves of drug stores, grocery stores, and discount department stores feeling confident in something that was nature made.

Cheaper department store vitamins are enticing. Who doesn't like to save a few bucks when and where they can. Money is the currency of our life force energy and we only have so much (life force energy) to burn up in our time on this planet. Is saving a few bucks on cheaper vitamins worth it?
