Recognize your need

The most often asked question these days is “how can I look better and feel better?”
Begin today

Asking yourself that question is a good start. The right beginning is when you acknowledge this need. To start your quest properly, you have to proceed with conviction.
Body right

A woman, 70 pounds overweight and looking helpless, asked me for advice. I gave her the easiest suggestion.

Seeing she was about to devour a hamburger, I gently removed the top of the bun. Reducing your carbohydrate intake is the easiest, most painless diet of all.

Cutting carbo intake by half and consuming high-fiber foods can trim you down gradually and easily. This, plus regular exercise, will guarantee a trimmer waistline in weeks.

See your nutritionist for a low-calorie meal plan.Fasting to lose weight is also a good cleansing habit. Eat no solids from sunrise to sunset.

Simply take liquids like water, coconut water, vegetable juices. Break your fast with a raw vegetable salad using olive oil/virgin coco oil and lemon.

Have a ready snack handy like fresh fruits and nuts.

Heart full of soul
Here is an exercise from Dr. Gary Zukav’s “The Heart of the Soul.” Opening your heart releases bitterness and anger. The result is healing.

Open your heart’s door
Think of a time in your life when you felt love from someone—your mother, child, grandchild, significant other. Remember that moment. Recall the feelings.

If you feel any chest pain, this means your heart is closed. Go ahead, experience the pain. Breathe deeply, then keep the loving memory alive until the pain goes away.

When the energy of regret leaves you, it also moves out of your chest. Then, all that remains is a loving, healing memory.

Remember, emotional pain can be physically damaging. If you refuse to look inside emotionally, your physical heart can also be damaged from within. This is because all emotions are physical.
Aromatherapy & medicine

An exasperated woman in her 30’s approached Shirley Ruiz of Cyberwalker Enterprises at her booth in the recent Beauty & Fitness Fair at the World Trade Center.

Sick and tired of popping tranquilizers to cure her depression, she appealed to Shirley for a natural solution to her persistent problem.

A potion called “Uplift” made of essential oils and applied on the pulse and temples was given to her. Within minutes, she felt relief.

A man in his 60s, wanting to get a good night’s sleep, was desperately looking for a safe way to end his sleepless nights. He was given “Deep Sleep” to rub on pulse points at bedtime.

Feeling triumphant and like a new man, he said he had not slept better in his life. He fell asleep within 15 minutes of applying the essential oils.

Aromatherapy has been around for ages. It is used by many practitioners of natural medicine.

Some popular oils are: tea tree for skin blemishes, rashes, irritations (athlete’s foot/sores); lavender—relaxes/soothes tired body and mind, eases blood pressure; peppermint—eases digestive problems, soothes headaches/migraine; rose—balances the nervous system, fights depression, regulates hormones.

From the pristine corner of Australia’s Southwest, where winter rains have been filtered by subterranean limestone in the Yarragadee aquifer for 30,000 years, come the main ingredients for Moonhaven essences and essential oils. It is now available in Manila, offering natural medicine. Call 8024503 or 0920-9523252
