As a result of my multi-year healing adventures, I have developed skills to offer a Holistic Healing practice that helps people, without prescriptions or surgery, to feel great. I continue to study, by topics, or by techniques, to learn the fastest way to alleviate pain and unhappy emotions, whatever a person’s starting point.  My idea of fun is taking a spiritual retreat or special neurobiology training.  I recently took a retreat experience with Peter Pearson, on the subject of Thomas Merton and what our spiritual paths may be.  I also just completed a 19-week class on the Vagus Nerve and how to access its powers for quick shifts.  Soon, I will be taking a Jin Shin Jyutsu refresher class with a medical doctor.  Fun, fun, fun!

So, yesterday, I talked some about my pain journey and mentioned some of the approaches I developed to beat an intense idiopathic pain situation I had for 8 years.  This year I continued to apply all I have learned about keeping myself strong and healthy, as I went through a full year (starting July 2021) of chemotherapy. Yes, the full year just ended this week!  I never lost my hair or had elimination issues, and I shocked the doctors with my positivity.  One doctor quipped, “I just brighten up when I see your name on my appointment list for the day!”   You can be this patient, too.

Because my holistic healing range is extensive, I have created a partial list of the areas I use to help people feel great.  Here are some categories we cover in sessions, on Zoom or in the office (Central Phoenix):

Holistic coaching

• Strategies for stopping collecting stress
• Strategies for dissolving or trading in stress
• Options for discomforts, possible origins
• Steps for dealing with difficult people or situations, including phrases to use
• Effective living strategies
• Ways to access and maintain personal peace
• Recommendations of nutritional shifts and supplements
• Intuitive readings
• Personalized re-scripting (formerly “affirmations”)

Energy medicine

• Pendulum chakra reading and balancing/clearing
• Pulse reading for meridian balancing
• Energy balancing with Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki, Healing Touch, and Vagus nerve balancing for the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
• Food energy reading
• Self-help routines for those interested

Coursework (materials also available in individual sessions)

• Dealing with difficult people energetically
• Self-help Jin Shin Jyutsu
• Instant relaxation for busy people
• How to unwind your stress and live the way you meant to
• How to meditate (multiple methods)
• How to use a labyrinth for meditation and prayer
• How people pray, and how you can
• Cleansing and rebooting the energy of your space
• Energetics of food and supplements
• Basic Feng Shui for your home and car

Goals

• Trade in your stress for energy
• Relieve odd symptoms
• Speed up clearing/healing from impacts of illness, accidents, surgery
• Dissolve fatigue
• Get better sleep
• Feel happier and younger
• Feel good enough to be grateful and embrace Life

Do any of these phrases resonate for you and your needs? Now I am Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!  And in my daily series this month, I hope to strongly convince you that positive living is the way to be, and that it results in greater health and happiness and joy.  It’s more fun!  And that would be me and you, shaping our lives anew, ever more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!

Not every load is yours

What’s stressing you out during the COVID-19 times?  Sometimes we just have to lighten up, right?  So here are some light comments circulating about this pandemic period.

1.  If I had only known in March that it would be my last time in a restaurant, I would have ordered dessert.
2.   I’m going to stay up on New Year’s Eve this year.  Not to see the  New Year in, but to make sure this one leaves.
3. I still can’t believe people’s survival instincts told them to grab as much toilet paper as possible.
4. Until further notice, the days of the week are now called: thisday, thatday,  otherday, someday, yesterday, today and nextday.
5. They said a mask and gloves were enough to go to the grocery store.  They lied.  Everybody else had clothes on.
6. The dumbest thing I ever purchased was a 2020 dayplanner.
7. When does Season Two of 2020 Start?  I do not like Season One.
8. Keep in mind, even during a pandemic, no matter how much chocolate you eat, your earrings will still fit.
9. The buttons on my jeans have started social distancing from each other.
10. I never thought the comment “I wouldn’t touch him/her/that with a 6-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are.
11. Pretty wild how we used to eat birthday cake after someone had just blown on it.  Good times!
12. I’m not adding this year to my age.  I didn’t use it.
13. If you have a phone with a curly cord, stay home:  you’re in a high-risk group.
14. Lockdown can go 4 ways:  you come out a monk, a hunk, a chunk, or a drunk.  CHOOSE WISELY!

In these strange times, just do your best to stay in your best, in Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm!  Are you in?

Healthy Happy Loving Life: It’s Four Stress-Questions Friday!

Any week, you can “Bring your stress, pain, and fatigue to (my Zoom or) my office– and leave it there!”  Yes, and you can ask questions anytime.  Today, it’s time to answer four questions sent in yesterday.

1.  Will we always have to wear masks?  The Spanish Flu pandemic, of 1918-1920, lasted 2 years and 2 months.  With today’s much-better medical technology and  communications capability, we probably won’t have the COVID-19 that long.  But I think those of us who have lived through this pandemic will always keep a stash of masks in a drawer.  And backup toilet paper.
2. How should I be on Election Day?  Won’t there be violence in the streets? If you were asking how the civil authorities should prepare, I agree they should be prepared for some street activity.  And the authorities will already have specific plans. So that’s out of our hands.  Your best strategy is to stay calm, vote as early as you can, prior to Election Day, and don’t go downtown for any reason that evening.  As you would guess, I’m for the most democracy for the most people with the least strife and the most harmony. I’m holding the vision of peace in the streets.   You can do that also: picture everyone calm and eager to vote pleasantly.  See the streets quiet and peaceful. As the classic song goes, “Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.”
3. How do I transfer my own attitude of calm and resilience to others around me?  A friend was taught how to flow with life.  Her mom frequently said, “This too shall pass”, whenever something awful happened.  My friend says she has learned how to be resilient and to flourish.  So, how to transfer that to others?  My friend, you are already doing it!!  People have been picking up on your energy and counting on your steady peacefulness for long years. You are grounded, as so few are.  Just by being who you are, you inspire and calm others.  If you want to do more, pick someone who needs a core of Peace Within, and vividly picture them until you can see them smiling with peace and assurance.  Do it for them every day, or more often if you like.  You may be surprised at how they change.
4. Why does it take so long to manifest what you want? I feel like I partner with God on these things, and it works. But it feels like forever!  This is because God can see absolutely Everything, and we can’t. We don’t know what is coming around the corner, and He does; a traffic light that goes extra long seems frustrating, but then we see a nasty accident ahead and realize the delay saved our life.  We have ideas about what we want to manifest and when.  God absolutely listens to us and wants to bless us. But God’s timing is not our timing because God is working on so many factors behind the scenes.  God is bringing many things to fruition in order to realize the perfect plan for each of us.  Our job is to remain in joyful expectancy, knowing that He wants to and will bless us at the perfect time in the perfect way.  We need to love Him and be ready.

I hope you have enjoyed Four Stress-Questions Friday!  Thanks especially to Paul Taubman, Florence Callendar, C. Winsel, and Jeanine Byers, for submitting your thoughtful questions this week.  My mission is to help you release your pain, then help you see beyond the “OK” level to an uplifted and expanding level of being Healthy, Happy, and Loving Life (Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm).  That is where you find you are “living in the Flow”, living with ease and joy, and seeing miracles occurring.

I would like you to feel as great as you can!  Are you in?

“Bring your stress, pain, and fatigue to (my Zoom or) my office– and leave it there!”  Variations of that tagline have concluded my self-introductions at networking gatherings for many years.  This year, Zoom has been added for consulting and some forms of energy transformation work.  IRS calls me a “stress management therapist”.  I am both a Masters’ Degree scientist and an ordained minister.  So, I deal with all forms of pain: of the Spirit, Mind, Heart, and Body.  And relationships.  Including your relationship with the Divine.  My mission is to help you release your pain, then help you see beyond the “OK” level to an uplifted and expanding level of being Healthy, Happy, and Loving Life (Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm).  That is where you find you are “living in the Flow”, living with ease and joy, and seeing miracles occurring.

Right now, we are in a time of accelerated living and increasing density of our cities and roadways.  Everything is more stimulating than even several years ago. And now we have a global pandemic that necessitates new rules for how we move around in community and in life.  So what’s bothering you the most?

What’s stressing you out?

So I pause today, from writing normal articles, to asking WHAT YOU WANT: WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?  And tomorrow will be Four Questions Friday, answering the first 4 questions that are sent to me!

The World is very stressed right now, so don’t judge anything or anyone harshly.  Just do your best to stay in your best, in Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm!  Are you in?  What questions do you have for me?  I would like you to feel as great as you can!

Healthy Happy Loving Life: 5 Tools for When You Are Crashing

Tags

Breakdown, Crashing, Dealing with stress, Effective living, energy, Energy therapy, exhausted, Health, Overwhelm, Overwhelmed, Stress Management, The life you want, unstuck, vitality

Feeling overwhelmed?

We are living in a stressed-out society currently, and each of us needs to have some tools to deal with that.  Here are 5 of my top immediate tools, for when stress is getting to you so badly that you think you may crash. Or fold. Or can’t go on.  Or collapse.  Or scream.  Or make big mistakes with loved ones. 

At one time, I was President of my HOA, and one day I received some strange news:  our HOA Community Manager had walked off the job. And he did not resign or say goodbye.  And he destroyed all his Sent Mail.  And he left no notes.  And it turned out he had been lying about things that were done and not done.  I had noticed this guy apparently in melt-down, or on drugs perhaps, interacting unevenly.  But I waited to say anything to his company, because… well, sometimes you hope they’ll rectify their own situation.  But sometimes, he talked so fast you could hardly make out what he was saying.  He gave different specifics on work orders that would have had one set of facts.  Finally, he walked off the job and has not been heard from.  But what if he had had the tools to prevent going into breakdown?  Don’t you be this guy!

What’s stressing you out?

These are the tools to use right away, when you’re feeling out of control.  Steps 2-5 are neurobiology and metabolic support.

1.  DECIDE if you want to be in control and move through this sanely.
2.  EXHALE every bad thought down the front of your body and out through your toes.  Don’t worry about the inhale– it will come.  Repeat as needed.
3. TAKE EMERGENCY HOMEOPATHIC DROPS, such as the Bach Flower product, “Rescue Remedy”.  It comes in a spray, drops, or pastilles.  Take it every half hour if needed.  Have some on hand for bad days and terrible days.
4. HOLD YOUR CENTER PALMS.  This calms your central nervous system and allows you to feel sane again.
5. AVOID SUGARS, CARBS, ALCOHOL, AND DRUGS until you feel much better.  These are all false friends when you are stressed.

Now TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.   After you have taken Steps 1-5, of course, you’ll want to think what needs to be done to change your situation.  Start brainstorming with yourself, and make a lot of notes; then turn these into priorities. You may want to call someone for prayer or Go(o)d Thoughts or professional counseling.  You may want to call your attorney.  Or you may decide it has simply been a rough day, and a long shower will help greatly.  Only you can make this call.

The World is very stressed right now, so don’t judge yourself harshly.  When you’re falling apart, do these things to get back into the realm of Healthy Happy Loving Loving Life^sm!  Are you in?  Got any questions?  I would like you to feel as great as you can!

Healthy Happy Loving Life: Acupressure to Zap Your Stress and Pain

The most powerful healing art I have ever experienced is an acupressure art called Jin Shin Jyutsu®.  In fact, it is now a core service in my holistic healing practice. Jin Shin is an ancient healing art that looks like acupressure and feels “like melting”.  It was revived in the early 1900’s by Jiro Murai of Japan and brought to the U.S. by the late Mary Ino Burmeister. Using “nature’s jumper cables”, the arms and hands, we jump starting your energies. The practitioner gently holds pairs of points, or while you feel tension, pain, and other disharmonies “melting away”, “unwinding”, and “lightening up”.  Jin Shin brings balance to the body’s energies, promoting optimal health and wellbeing, and bringing forth our own profound healing capacity.  It complements conventional healing methods, relaxing you and reducing the pains and dysfunctions caused by stress.

How does it do this?  Without needles, using only light finger touch, Jin Shin uses key points, or small zones, called “safety energy locks” along energy pathways that feed life through our bodies.  This seems to work by accessing nerve junctions, opening up the flow through the nervous system.  Whether you call this nerve function or meridian flow, when one or more of the paths become blocked, usually due to stress, the resulting stagnation can disrupt functions and cause discomforts.  Holding the key points, or energy locks, in combination can bring balance to your mind, body, and spirit.

I personally have used Jin Shin with dramatic effects for myself and my clients.  In my first experience, many years ago, I had a foot/ankle injury that refused to heal.  After two orthopedists, two casts, and 4 months on crutches, my foot and ankle were still very painful, swollen triple, and a lovely purple-fuscia color.  Friends sent me to a Jin Shin practitioner, and twenty minutes into the session, my pain was rolling away.  I walked out carrying my crutches.  In six weeks, this ridiculous, aggravating injury was healed.  A huge part of the healing was my stubborn use of Jin Shin self-help holds, twice a day, during the entire healing period.  I wanted to be well and mobile again as fast as possible!

I was so astounded by the power of Jin Shin that I became a direct student of Mary Burmeister, the world’s living master teacher at that time.  I ultimately gave up my other work to devote myself to my holistic healing practice.   I have been helping others with stress relief, pain dissolution, and other often-dramatic results, in the twenty-plus years since.  I have experienced Jin Shin improving every condition I have applied it to.  It’s a secret weapon in my life, which allows me to manage moods and frustration, work long hours, feel energetic and cheerful, quickly zap illness, and have unusually young-looking skin.

Jin Shin relieves pain and painful emotions.  In a sense, Jin Shin rolls back the aging and disease that hold us back.  It powerfully shifts you into the realm of Healthy Happy Loving Loving Life^sm!  Are you in?  Got any questions?  I would like you to feel as great as you can!

Upbeat Living: 7 Laws of Healing

Is there something in your body or your life that you wish were healed?  The spectrum of positive outcomes is limitless.  Understandings and many other tools can lead us to comfort, peace, release, and relief.

I like to focus on the positive, the Upbeat Living^sm, the joy– all the Highest and Best.  Not the past or the pain.  However, recently, I was in a healing ministry group gathering, and some were sharing stories of healings they had seen and experienced.  We discussed dimensions of healing: what actually makes it happen?  That day, I was moved to share with this loving group my most dramatic healing story: mine. Here it is.

When I was 26, one evening, I began to feel cranky.  I thought “[H]ow odd!  What’s going on?”  My body replied that the large joints of my hands were burning.  I thought, “[N]o problem.  Mom has had mild arthritis since my age.  I’ll take aspirin, like she does.”  Oh no!  Within a year, I was burning from head to toe.  And there was a terrible stiffness with the pain.  Over a few months, my joints began to enlarge and I could hardly use my hands.  I knew I would be needing a wheelchair by my mid-thirties, and there would be no marriage or children.  As an engineering manager, I went at potential solutions like the engineer of a high-speed train.  I learned the latest on nutrition, controlled my diet, and took up oriental energy healing, primarily Jin Shin Jyutsu.  I learned there are many approaches other than medication, to beat a painful condition.

When I was 33, I was at a party, and an acquaintance was talking about her arthritis as though she had married it.  She was obsessed with it, in love with it.  But that’s another column.  I heard myself say to her, “[W]ell, when I had horrible crippling arthritis, I found several things really helped…”  From there, I have no memory of what I shared with her, because I was so shocked to hear myself speak of my hellish, life-killing condition in the past tense.  It had finished leaving sometime over the previous few months!  I learned that just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive.  Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean you have to keep it.  Later, as my joints actually healed and shrank, I learned that just because you have organic body damage, it doesn’t mean it can’t reverse.  These were huge revelations to me.  Now, at 63, most days, I have no pain of any kind whatsoever.  People take me for 20 years younger.

The opportunity to experience that crippling condition was a transformative gift in my life.  I became so fascinated with natural pain solutions and healing possibilities that I left engineering and morphed into an energy- and spiritual healer.  I became an ordained minister, a spiritual teacher and an award-winning author.  The more I helped people heal, the more I saw the underlying role of stress in almost all conditions. I began teaching people to dissolve their stress and actually trade in stress for energy and wellness.  Now, I frequently teach stress management, energizing techniques, and meditation.

Roman statesman Lucius Seneca said,

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

 

Do you want healing?  Then meditate on these top 7 Laws of Healing:

1. There are many approaches other than medication, to beat horrible pain and other health conditions.
2. Stress is a major factor to conquer, for most to get the healing they seek.
3. Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean you have to keep it.
4. Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean it gets to rule your life.
5. Just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive.
6. Just because there was never a medical protocol before doesn’t mean there won’t be one soon, if you like medical protocols.
7. Just because you’re not cured doesn’t mean you can’t be healed.

After decades of my healer path, I now believe literally all things are possible.  I experience the unreasonable and the miraculous every day.  May I assist you in your healing journey?  Your commitment to your own healing means you are stepping into Upbeat Living.

Is there something in your body or your life that you wish were healed?  The spectrum of positive outcomes is limitless.  Understandings and many other tools can lead us to comfort, peace, release, and relief.

Recently, I went to my first meeting of a healing ministry at my church.  The church is a large Episcopal Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The lay healing ministers shared stories of healings they had experienced, and we discussed dimensions of healing.

I am deeply committed  to focusing on the positive, the Upbeat Living, the joy– all the Highest and Best.  Not the past or the pain.  However, that day I was moved to share with this loving group my most dramatic healing story: mine. Here it is.

When I was 26, one evening, I began to feel cranky.  I thought “[H]ow odd!  What’s going on?”  My body replied that the large joints of my hands were burning!  Realizing that startled me.  But I thought, “[N]o problem.  Mom has had mild arthritis since my age.  I’ll take aspirin, like she does.”  Oh no!  Within a year, I had a burning sensation from head to toe.  And there was a terrible stiffness with the pain; I could only walk slowly.  Over a few months, my joints began to enlarge and I could hardly use my hands.  In the cafeteria at work, I had to carry my lunch tray on my forearms, then hit it with my hip to slide it onto the lunch table.  On my worst day, it took me 2 hours to be able to turn over, reach the phone, call in to work, and finally sit up in bed.

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

                                        ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I was terrified at the reality that, if this kept rapidly progressing, I would be needing a wheelchair by my mid-thirties, and there would be no marriage or children.  As an engineering manager, I went at potential solutions like a top-priority vital project, with a major passion. Already a dancer, meditator, and yoga practitioner, I learned the latest on nutrition and supplements, controlled my diet, and took up oriental energy healing, primarily Jin Shin Jyutsu.  I learned ChiKung (Chinese yoga).  I learned to muscle-test for supplements and other helps.  I learned there are many approaches other than medication, to beat a painful condition.

When I was 33, I was at a party, and an acquaintance was talking about her arthritis as though she had married it.  She was obsessed with it, in love with it.  But that’s another column.  I heard myself say to her, “[W]ell, when I had horrible crippling arthritis, I found several things really helped…”  From there, I have no memory of what I shared with her, because I was so shocked to hear myself speak of my hellish condition in the past tense.  It had finished leaving sometime over the previous few months!  I learned that just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive.  Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean you have to keep it.  Later, as my joints actually healed and shrank, I learned that just because you have organic body damage, it doesn’t mean it can’t reverse.  These were huge revelations to me.  Now, at 63, most days, I have no pain of any kind whatsoever.  And people take me for much younger; my health age is younger than I am.

The opportunity to experience that crippling condition was a transformative gift in my life.  I became so fascinated with natural pain solutions and healing possibilities that I left engineering and morphed into an energy- and spiritual healer.  I began giving stress management trainings.  I became an ordained minister, a spiritual teacher and an award-winning author.

In the 1980’s, the AIDS epidemic hit Phoenix.  I volunteered at the Malta Center, a community healing organization funded by a Catholic charity.  We served HIV/AIDS patients and their loved ones, without regard to their income. We comforted and listened. We helped the clients organize the practical help they needed.  We had Red Cross classes on understanding HIV/AIDS.  We had funeral planning workshops.  We had a lot of funerals.  I had extraordinary conversations with many people experiencing the embrace of AIDS, and with their families.  I heard a lot of angel stories.

I learned that I had friends who had been HIV-positive for 10 years, with no symptoms at all, even fatigue.  I learned that some AIDS patients got very close to the Divine in their last weeks.  I learned that some seemed to go into a state of Grace in their last weeks, in complete harmony with Life, the Universe, and God. Some said their lives were healed, and then they passed on.  They weren’t cured, but they were healed.  Today, the Clinton Initiative and other organizations stream pharmaceutical protocols to many countries, and HIV is not the frightening specter it once was.

Today, I serve people with any level of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual distress.  I offer holistic consulting, energy transformations and oriental energy therapy, nutritional consulting, muscle testing, intuitive assistance, and many specific stress-conquering methods and meditation techniques.  Do you want healing?  Let’s remember:

• There are many approaches other than medication, to beat horrible pain and other health conditions.
• Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean it gets to rule your life.
• Just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive.
• Just because there was never a medical protocol before doesn’t mean there won’t be one soon, if you like medical protocols.
• Just because you’re not cured doesn’t mean you can’t be healed.

What body/mind/heart/spirit hurts do you have today?  Why wait to call and start your healing?  Living your life in positive power is truly Upbeat Living!

Colds feel bad and stress you out.  Colds keep you from doing the things you would rather do.  But take heart!  Today, there are more ways than ever to help yourself beat a cold—inexpensively. I recommend using ways that strengthen your system, allowing you to rise out of the illness, sometimes stronger than before. A cold is a virus and won’t respond to an antibiotic. So don’t think about using an antibiotic, unless your doctor says you have a secondary bacterial infection.

 

Secret #1: Make sure you don’t have the flu. Severe muscle aches say flu (influenza), probably not a cold. Call your doctor now. New antiviral prescriptions that may help you. Also, if you have special medical conditions and should call your doctor in case of cold/flu symptoms, do that immediately. Every doctor’s office has 24-hour paging or emergency numbers. If you are sure you have the flu, and you prefer a homeopathic remedy, you may want to try Oscillococcinum from your health food store (under $15). Dissolved under the tongue, this is very effective for many.

 

Secret #2: Support your body with rest, fluids, and soaking. Get extra rest. Drink lots of water and soup–alcohol is generally not helpful for a cold. Take a hot bath, at the “ahhhhh” temperature for you, which may be about 103 degrees F. Add 2 cups, or a one-pound box, of Epsom salts and set a timer so you stay in for at least 20 minutes. If you are concerned about your tub’s jets being hurt by the Epsom salts, dissolve them before adding to the tub, or buy your Epsom salts in liquid form. Most drug stores and grocery stores have both forms.

 

Secret #3: Treat a sore throat with natural gargle. If your throat hurts, mix salt and baking soda in equal proportions in a small storage jar; use a teaspoon of mix in a glass of pleasantly hot water, and gargle thoroughly. Making deep tones while you gargle will help the liquid reach further into the back of the throat.

 

Secret #4: Try a homeopathic remedy. A popular one for colds is Coldcalm, made by the same company as Oscillococcinum for flu. Just follow the package directions.

 

Being ill is one of the greatest pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and not obliged to work until one is better.

~ Samuel Butler

 

Secret #5: Bolster yourself with nutritional helps. These are cheap and can strengthen your immune system to beat the cold virus quickly.

• Drink black or green tea, with minimally processed honey in it. The tea contains heart-healthy compounds and the honey contains many enzymes and other energizing nutritional components. Get organic tea, loose or in non-paper bags. The chlorine in the paper may give some people joint pain.
• Eat yang foods. In Chinese medicine, a cold is a “yin” condition, so adding “yang” foods to your body will make you feel much better and literally make you more vital, right away. Keep warm (yang) and drink your tea or soup warm. Stir a little ginger powder into that tea or chicken soup. You probably have ginger powder in your spice rack. Or use ginger extract drops from your health food store.
• Try Vitamin C with bioflavonoids. One highly absorbable form is the widely available “Emergen-C”, available in most grocery stores and drugstores in many flavors; the small packets contain ascorbate compounds of Vitamin C, B complex, and minerals. Related popular products include “Cold-Eeze” and “Airborne”. Try different formulas to find the one/s you like best. Most pharmacies now carry these.
• Soluble B-12 with folic acid and B-6 is also widely available now.
• Eat fresh fruit, not frozen or canned if possible, due to the loss of nutrition and vital life force energy in processing. The colors represent the natural bioflavonoids. Add fresh lemon to your tea.
• Herbal drops are widely available for strengthening the immune functions. Separately or in combined drops, these may include: astragalus, echinacea, goldenseal, shitake or reishi mushroom, fresh red root, licorice root, and suma root.

 

Secret #6: Get some energy therapy. Jin Shin Jyutsu and Reiki can be very powerful for harmonizing your system right out of a cold. You’ll finish this cold and come out on a higher vitality level than you went into it with. Then let me know what worked best for you!

There’s Healing and There’s Curing

Is there something in your body or your life that you wish were healed? Today I went to a meeting of the Healing Ministry at my church. It’s a large Episcopal Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. The lay Healing Ministers shared stories of healings they had experienced, and we discussed dimensions of healing.

 

I like to focus on the positive, the Upbeat Living, the joy… all the Highest and Best. Not the past or the pain. However, today I was moved to share with this loving group my most dramatic healing story: mine. Here it is.

 

When I was 26, one evening, I began to feel cranky. I thought “[H]ow odd! What’s going on?” My body replied that the large joints of my hands were burning. I thought, “[N]o problem. Mom has had mild arthritis since my age. I’ll take aspirin, like she does.” Oh no! Within a year, I was burning from head to toe. And there was a terrible stiffness with the pain. Over a few months, my joints began to enlarge and I could hardly use my hands. I would be needing a wheelchair by my mid-thirties, and there would be no marriage or children. As an engineering manager, I went at potential solutions like a freight train. I learned nutrition, controlled my diet, and took up oriental energy healing, primarily Jin Shin Jyutsu.

I learned there are many approaches other than medication, to beat a painful condition.

 ~Kebba Buckley Button

When I was 33, I was at a party, and someone was talking about her arthritis as though she had married it. She was obsessed with it, in love with it. But that’s another column. I heard myself saying to her, “[W]ell, when I had horrible crippling arthritis, I found several things really helped…” From there, I have no memory of what I shared with her, because I was so shocked to hear myself speak of my hellish condition in the past tense. It had finished leaving sometime over the previous few months! I learned that just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive. Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean you have to keep it. Later, as my joints actually healed and shrank, I learned that just because you have organic body damage, it doesn’t mean it can’t reverse. These were huge revelations to me. Now, at 62, most days, I have no pain of any kind whatsoever. People take me for 45.

 

The opportunity to experience that crippling condition was a transformative gift in my life. I became so fascinated with natural pain solutions that I left engineering and morphed into an energy- and spiritual healer. I became an ordained minister, a spiritual teacher, a stress management trainer, and an award-winning author.

 

In the 1980’s, the AIDS epidemic hit Phoenix. I volunteered at the Malta Center, a community healing organization funded by an arm of the Catholic Church. We served HIV/AIDS patients and their loved ones, without regard to their income. We comforted and listened. We helped the clients organize the practical help they needed. We had Red Cross classes on understanding HIV/AIDS. We had funeral planning workshops. We had a lot of funerals. I had extraordinary conversations with many people experiencing the embrace of AIDS, and with their families.

 

I learned that I had friends who had been HIV-positive for 10 years, with no symptoms at all, even fatigue. I learned that some AIDS patients got very close to the Divine in their last weeks. I learned that some seemed to go into a state of Grace in their last weeks, in complete harmony with Life, the Universe, and God. Some said their lives were healed, and then they passed on. They weren’t cured, but they were healed.

 

Today, the Clinton Initiative and other organizations stream pharmaceutical protocols to many countries, and HIV is not the frightening specter it once was. Do you want healing? Let’s remember:

• There are many approaches other than medication, to beat horrible pain and other health conditions.
• Just because you have a diagnosis doesn’t mean it gets to rule your life.
• Just because you have a condition doesn’t mean it has to be progressive.
• Just because there was never a medical protocol before doesn’t mean there won’t be one soon, if you like medical protocols.
• Just because you’re not cured doesn’t mean you can’t be healed.

Live your life.  Don’t fear health labels.  Maintain your miraculous body the best you can.  It’s your life:  be there.
