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!

When I was 26, one night I became aware that I felt odd.  I realized the large knuckles of my hands were burning.  I thought, oh, no problem.  Mom has had aching joints since she was 27, and that has been mild for her.  Oh no!  Within a year, I was burning from head to toe, and anti-inflammatory medications barely touched it.  Here began my multi-year healing journey, as well as a new career.

I used my body as a laboratory and experimented with what might help dissolve this crippling pain.  I talked with anyone I could find who had pain that had begun inside the body– not due to accidents– and they offered great insights.  They said it mattered greatly what you ate and drank! This was new to me.  In my life circles, people ate by calories, at that time. I found a no-sugar diet helped, and eliminating certain other foods helped also.  As food has changed greatly, the diet changes I made then are actually not applicable today.  So I will write another article about what diet I use today.

I found that smooth exercise, such as stretching dance moves and yoga, helped.  Exercising for 20 minutes or more helped.  Exercising to the point of sweat helped greatly.

Meditation helped, and prayer time helped.  Practicing being peaceful helped, and helped me to feel a part of “The Flow”.  This eventually led to my teaching meditation and prayer, and to the publication of my book, Sacred Meditation.

Oriental energy therapies really powered up my healing and establishing my new health balance, so I could enjoy life again.  I found Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu especially powerful.  Today, I see these as arts that access the nervous system and can ultimately relieve almost any conditions.

I became so interested in natural pain relief that I left engineering for my own natural health practice. I now give trainings in stress management and how to trade in your stress for energized living.  My first book on this, Discover the Secret Energized You, was published in 2008.  I then realized people needed a personal base of peace within, so I began teaching personal peace.  My book, Inspirations for Peace Within, was published in 2017.

So today, over 30 years since pervasive pain attacked me, I have a thriving practice, teaching others how they, too, can thrive.  I believe that most conditions can be healed– and why not try?  With energy medicine, stress management and effective life strategies, the right food, the best spiritual practice, and healthy movement, great changes come about.

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 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!

Healthy Happy Loving Life: Yours If You Want It

If you read it very quickly, my bywords might seem vapid:  Healthy!  Happy!  Loving Life!  The fact is that these words are powerful.  They evolved into this current form over decades of trying to better describe what I believe in, how life works, and what I offer, as a professional.

All my life, I wanted to feel good, have energy, and be enjoying life.  I wanted to laugh with friends and experience a lot of joy.  But I had mystery fatigue and mystery pain all over, which was never diagnosed by regular doctors.  And normal pain relievers didn’t touch the pain.  Exercise helped.  I didn’t laugh a lot.  So by the time I had completed 2 university degrees and was working very hard on success in science fields, I began taking a fresh look at my situation through the burgeoning fields of holistic health.  My health was a daily struggle, and I was nowhere near my dream of being happy.  I couldn’t imagine goals beyond getting a grip on my situation.

But I got there!  Step by step, I peeled away layers, found my answers, and restored my health.  I fell in love with energy medicine methods like Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and Healing Touch. I fell in love with the healing power of foods.  My faith journey helped.  I was ordained as a minister.  What I concluded in my journey was that:

1. Feeling great has to start with health.  We must each find our personal health balance.
2. Health clears clouds and allows us to find happiness
3. Health and happiness allow us to embrace Life, step into The Flow, and begin to live joyfully and powerfully.
4. This becomes a system I call Healthy Happy Loving Life!

I have spent many years explaining what I do through the lens of Stress Management.  Most people who appear stressed are dealing with health or pain issues, conflicts that prevent happiness, and no sense of connection to Source– to any Divine– at all.  Many people have no sense of their own belief system.  Now I help them sort out their beliefs and practices with holistic coaching.

I tried for years to get people to live on the Upbeat– to live emphasizing the positive– with titles about Upbeat Living and Upbeat Spiritual Living.  I wrote hundreds of free articles (now over 500 online), several guidebooks, and 3 books to help people.  Now I help them shift their attitudes to the positive and their languaging to the positive.  I listen to their descriptions of stressful situations and relationships, help them sort out the dynamics, and offer specific strategies and wording for difficult conversations.

Many people have no idea that their peripheral neuropathy or other condition may be caused by, for example, the diet sodas they are drinking.  Now I help them shift away from foods that may be hurting a condition they mention, and shift toward delicious foods that may dissolve that condition.  I also offer Energy Transformation Sessions, to dissolve headaches, back pain, anger, grief, or other conditions that are uncomfortable and distracting.  People leave my office relaxed, happy, and hopeful.

I have helped countless people over the years, to release the uncomfortable and move into a life they love.  Today, I teach or coach online,  and I have Energy Transformation Sessions and Holistic Coaching in my cozy office.  People get notes to take home, to try techniques, look over books, or switch what they swallow.  Might you get huge shifts from this work?  Yes!  Might people respond to you very differently?  Yes!  Might you start enjoying the right people, more?  Yes!  And you will increasingly find yourself being more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!  You have only your discomforts to lose, and I would love to help you on your journey.

Healthy Happy Loving Life: What My Work Does For You

Invited to share what I do professionally, I’m delighted to mention a few things.  My overarching passion is to help you turn from a “stresspuppy”, a stress poster person, into a joyful, happy, healthy person.  I call this resulting state:  Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm.  What if you felt at ease with life, and as you walked around, you felt at ease in your body?  What if you had a solid base of internal peace—Peace Within, that you could and did go home to, whenever something offered to stress you out?

What if you had a set of tools and strategies, none of which involved equipment to purchase, but which you could carry around with you and use any time?  What if there was no cost to using these tools and strategies?  My tools are easy, but, like a screwdriver, you need to actually use them.  You can learn my strategies for living happily, from me in individual sessions (Zoom or at my Phoenix office), or with your professional group, when you have me come for a training.

Many busy professionals have been harboring symptoms they don’t realize can be from stress.  These might include:

• headaches
• glum mood
• tight or painful jaw, TMJ
• tooth pain
• dizziness
• tight neck
• chest pain
• anger or sadness
• pain in odd points around the body
• frozen shoulder
• an arm that can’t lift
• twinkling or burning in hands or feet
• gut pain or gurgling
• aching at back base of ribcage
• pain down the backs of legs
• constant cravings for snacks or cigarettes
• trouble sleeping, especially at certain times

Yet all these symptoms, and many others, can be addressed through energy transformation sessions.  In Oriental medicine, it’s understood that different types of stressful thoughts actually lodge in different parts of the body.  So understanding why your pain is where it is—can be very revealing and freeing.  My energy transformation sessions are sourced in Jin Shin Jyutsu®, Healing Touch®, and Divine Healing^sm, together with long years of holistic training.  With the client fully clothed, I listen to 19 metabolic pulses along the wrists, then I ask if they have had certain things going on in life.  They always say yes.  I then hold pairs of points and begin releasing the symptoms.

If clients are interested, we talk about dietary shifts they can make, to address their symptoms and reach their goals.  We may discuss homeopathic drops they may want to try, or certain minerals and other supplements.  [NOTE:  I do not sell any such items in my office and they are not part of my income stream.]  We are likely to discuss the source of the stressors the client is experiencing and structures and strategies to respond differently, getting more desired results in interactions.   After sessions, clients say they feel lighter, looser, younger, and more optimistic, than when they came in!

If people like to learn new strategies from reading, I offer several guidebooks and three books in my office.  The books are:

• Discover the Secret Energized You: how to trade in your stress for energy
• Inspirations for Peace Within: Quotes and Images to Uplift and Inspire
• Sacred Meditation: how to meditate, and, if interested, embrace the Divine

Also for those who like to read, I have over 400 articles on attitude, life views, destressing, food strategies, and love: https://kebbabutton.wordpress.com

For those who love quote posters, I have over 400 I created on Pinterest:  https://www.pinterest.com/kebbabutton/_created/     Go and enjoy!

If you are looking for a stress management trainer for your professional or church group, I offer 2-hour trainings and longer.  I can also present workshops at your retreats.  Ask me about labyrinth meditation workshops!

Meanwhile, I do hope you are enjoying my 31 new posts this month, about developing your CALM, keeping your sense of humor, and many other topics.  Stick with me and my resources, and you’ll be more and more Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm!

Healthy Happy Loving Life: 3 Top Questions People Ask Me About Stress and Healing

When I first meet people at a business event, there are 3 top questions I am frequently asked about my holistic healing practice. These are some common ways people ask these things, plus a sampling of my answers.

Q:  You do what now?

A:  I help busy professionals with stress.  If their stress is only causing tension or fatigue, I have a system of strategies for helping people respond differently to stressful situations.  If their stress is causing body pains and tightness that keeps areas from working, I use energy therapies to unwind those symptoms.  My therapies include Jin Shin Jyutsu, Healing Touch, Reiki, and even massotherapy.  I love sharing self-help  methods, both as un-stressing strategies and as pain release methods.  Bring your stress, pain, and fatigue to my office and leave it there!  Also, I offer trainings to help people trade in their stress for energy, learn energy therapy self-help, learn meditation practice, and even learn active use of labyrinths.  I work with some people on their spiritual path, as well.  I have hundreds of free articles (like this one), and books on Amazon.

Q:  How did you develop this practice?

A:  As a busy engineering manager, years ago, I developed a horrible, crippling pain, all over my body, that was never diagnosed by doctors.  Over an 8-year period, I beat it, using energy therapies, exercise, and a diet system I worked out.  At that point, I was much more interested in natural pain solutions than in engineering, so I had to start my own holistic office.  I continue my holistic- and energy medicine training on an ongoing basis.

Q:  So, my shoulder tops are so tight they’re killing me!  This happens when I’m tense.  Anything I can do about this?

A:  Yes!  In Oriental medicine, it’s understood that different thoughts and emotions lodge in different parts of the body.  The shoulder tops reflect the question: “How am I going to solve it?”  So, briefly, you can:

• Let go of the issue. Change your focus, “change your channel”
• Take hot showers with the water pounding gloriously on your shoulder tops
• Wear a shoulder-wrap heating pad for 20 minutes at a time
• Gently shrug your shoulders, in a stretching way, in every possible direction
• Hold a massage wand downward on the tight muscles and let it vibrate for 5-10 minutes
• Using Jin Shin Jyutsu, hold the shoulder top and same side hip hinge for at least 5 minutes.  Watch a video or listen to music, to keep yourself in the chair
• Do, or watch, anything that makes you laugh
• Call a holistic healer for professional help

Any of the areas covered in my books can also be covered in individual sessions or trainings.  Try some of the ideas on the list above, and you’ll be even more Healthy Happy and Loving Life^sm!

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

Tags

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.

Six Super Secrets to Defeat Your Cold NOW!

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!

UpBeat Living stands for your most fulfilled life, including your best possible health and wellness, which in turn will make you vital, joyful and fulfilled.  Today, we’re reaching out to anyone who needs to heal from an injury.  Would you like to heal much faster?

Recently, basketball legend Kobe Bryant, of the LA Lakers, ripped/ruptured his left Achilles tendon (attaches to the back of the foot/ankle), making a move said he has made thousands of times before.  Surgeons have repaired it, and Bryant was told to stay in bed for 2 weeks.  Possibly out for months, he is frustrated and also in pain.  He wonders if he will actually make a full recovery and be able to return to his passion, playing professional basketball.

What should he do to heal?  Of course, he will follow his doctors’ orders, including not re-ripping the tendon.  For natural pain relief, he can use the techniques in my recent article, 10 Top Tips for Natural Pain Relief Now! ( http://wp.me/pw4HM-co).  These include certain breathwork, selected applications of stretching and ice, soaking with Epsom Salts, and eating lots of colorful fresh, organic, fruits and veggies, for the healing antioxidants.

But Bryant can also use energy healing, Jin Shin Jyutsu®, to speed his recovery.  If he can reach the injury, even with a cast on, he can hold the injury site with his right hand and place his left hand over the right.  He can also get his visitors to do that for him, while he relaxes, which will also speed recovery.  This can be done for a minute or for hours, as much as you like.  You may notice the hands getting hot.

Another Jin Shin Jyutsu® move to use is to hold the medial wrist at the base of the bone below the left little finger. This is the last point on the hand, on the little finger side, that is still on the hand.  This move  flushes energy into the ankles and feet, aiding regeneration.  All basketball players should be doing this while watching movies!

If Kobe Bryant is looking for a Jin Shin Jyutsu® practitioner to come and work on him, gently holding pairs of points, and giving him great pain relief, relaxation, and speeded-up healing, he can look at the JSJ Locator to find someone in his area (http://jsjinc.net/locator.php ).  And after he gets out of the hospital, he can take a Jin Shin Self-Help class in any of a number of locations around the world.

We look forward to seeing Kobe Bryant back on the court, in surprisingly short time, back fulfilling his passion!

On Saturday, November 2d, my office in Phoenix is giving a Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help Part 1 class from 9 am to 1:30 pm. Self-help Part 2 will be on Saturday, November 9th.  To register, or for details, email kebba@kebba.com, or call 480-250-1177.

UpBeat Living: 10 Top Tips for Natural Pain Relief NOW

Do you have pain and hate to take drugs?  Here are some nonprescription ways to help yourself with minor pains, especially muscular pain due to stress.  These are from our 30-year holistic healing practice and stress management coaching practice.  These tips are not meant to be medical advice, nor are they meant to be all-inclusive or comprehensive.  If you have serious pain, especially due to a medical condition, by all means consult your doctor, and ask about the compatibility of these techniques with your situation.

1. For any pain, exhale to the end of your breath.  Allow a reflexive inhalation.  Do this twice more.  Notice the pain is…less.  Let your shoulders drop gently.  Repeat as often as you like.
2. For tooth pain, (1) stop consuming sugars.  (2) Hold the pain area with one hand while holding the same side outer ankle with the other hand.  (3) Over-the-counter pain remedies such as Orajel can assist until you get to a dentist.
3. Got knots in your back?  They are called “trigger points”, and everyone has them. (1) Try a heating pad for 20 minutes at a time.  (2) A hot soak (at the “ahhhh” temperature for you) with at least 2 cups/1pound of Epsom salts, for 20 minutes, will relax the muscles.
4. For knots in your back or for tension headaches, roll your shoulders slowly, gently stretching the muscles, for two minutes at a time.
5. For overall tight back muscles, sit in a favorite chair and lean slightly forward.  Reach those arms forward, stretching, as if you are grasping at a bank of chocolate ice cream.
6. Did you twist an ankle or a wrist?  Put ice on it for 20 minutes at a time, for less internal bleeding, more comfort, less swelling, and faster recovery.  After 20 minutes, ice will have a stimulating effect, rather than a calming one, so stick with 20 minutes 4 times a day.  Keep the injury generally propped up for comfort.
7. For minor annoying injuries, ask your health food store for Arnica products, as creams or to take by mouth. But do NOT get Arnica tea.  The tea smells so foul, you would remember UpBeat Living forever, and not kindly.  Ask the store for the correct strength of the homeopathic pellets for your issue—strength makes a huge difference.
8. Eat your fresh fruits and veggies—yes, salad is veggies!  Dark greens and colorful fruits are best, loaded with various antioxidants that make your skin, nerve, and muscle tissues all very healthy and disinclined to have pain.  Plus, you will heal faster.
9. Heal thyself:  place your right hand on the injury and your left hand on top of the right, to drive energy into the injured area.  No pressing.
10. Think happy, healing thoughts, and see yourself relaxed and fully healthy.

Now get some sleep and call the office if you want a Jin Shin Jyutsu ® session for a tuneup, pain solutions, or speeding your healing.  You will get through this!
