Chakras Crystals Balancing
Reiki Healing

Chakras are energy centers which supply life energy to the body. There are seven major Chakras .
When Chakras become unbalanced due to the stresses of everyday life will throw the whole body out of balance, which can eventually lead to dis-ease.
The Chakra system is complex and involves all systems; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and karmic.

Crystals enhance the healing and energy balancing provided from Reiki. Crystals are placed on each Chakra, to bring the Chakras into balance.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

After the session I will share which Chakras were out of balance and ways to work with your energy to promote wellness.

Consider this ... Coffee is a powerful health food.

Hydrogen Water??

Yes now we are can bay Hydrogen infused water...
I find my self gently yet noticeably energized after a few swing of hydrogen water, so I did little research...

Hydrogen infused in drinking water might prove to be powerful tool in fighting disease.

How hydrogen works: You no doubt recall that a molecule of water, or H2O, consists of one atom of oxygen bound to two atoms of hydrogen. In our bodies, hydrogen functions as an antioxidant, helping to prevent cell damage and inflammation, protect DNA and combat out-of-control cell growth.
The problem is that the hydrogen in water is not very accessible to the cells in our bodies. That’s because “free” hydrogen (hydrogen molecules not bound to other molecules) is relatively rare and, being a light gas, evaporates quickly.
The point of hydrogen-enriched water is to provide hydrogen that is easier for our cells to use. Hydrogen-rich water is created through a simple chemical reaction—when a ceramic stick containing metallic magnesium is placed in a bottle of plain water, the magnesium elicits a reaction that constantly generates hydrogen.
Research on the health benefits of hydrogen-rich water is limited and there is scant data on long-term effects. However, pilot studies on humans suggest that consuming hydrogen-rich water may help…

Prevent metabolic syndrome. A disorder characterized by a constellation of symptoms (including obesity, insulin resistance, high cholesterol and hypertension), metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In a study of 20 patients at risk for metabolic syndrome, instructing them to drink about two quarts of hydrogen-rich water per day for eight weeks. Blood tests were done at the start, middle and end of the study period. Results: After eight weeks, participants showed, on average, a 39% increase in blood levels of antioxidant enzymes, 8% increase in blood levels of HDL “good” cholesterol and 13% decrease in total cholesterol—levels of improvement that significantly lowered their risk for metabolic syndrome.

Improve health for diabetes and prediabetes patients. A Japanese study involved 36 patients with either type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (a prediabetic condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal). Some patients drank about 30 ounces of hydrogen-rich water daily for eight weeks… the rest drank the same amount of plain water. Results: Hydrogen-rich water consumption was associated with significant decreases in LDL “bad” cholesterol and urinary markers of oxidative stress as well as improved glucose metabolism… in two-thirds of prediabetes patients, oral glucose tolerance test results returned to normal. Among plain water drinkers, there were no significant changes.

Ease the negative side effects of radiation treatment for cancer. In a 2011 study, 49 liver cancer patients undergoing radiation, a treatment that often increases fatigue and negatively affects quality of life. Participants who drank about two quarts of hydrogen-rich water daily for six weeks showed lower blood levels of oxidative markers (by-products of cell injury caused by free radicals) and reported higher quality of life than participants who drank tap water. Hydrogen-rich water did not compromise radiation’s therapeutic anti-tumor more effects.

Health and Anti Aging benefits to consuming CBD Oil

CBD Oil, a specific Cannabidiol from the Cannabis plant, also known as the ma*****na plant has hundreds of health and anti aging benefits that are finally seeing the light of day.

Cannabidiol aka CBD is a ma*****na extract that has no psychoactive properties. That’s right I am not suggesting that you ever get “high” in the name of slowing down the aging process.
CDB oil offers most of the health benefits of ma*****na without the feeling of being “high” and it is legal in all 50 states.

Back in 1963 an organic chemist in Israel, named Raphael Mechoulam, working at the Weizmann Institute of Science outside Tel Aviv, decided to study the chemical composition of ma*****na. After all it was known that morphine came from o***m and co***ne from coca leaves, but at that time no one had any idea what the principal psychoactive ingredient was in ma*****na.

Mechoulam discovered that Tetrahydrocannabinol aka THC is what makes you high. He also discovered that Cannabidiol aka CBD, another abundant ingredient in ma*****na has medical and health benefits but no psychoactive effect.

Mechoulam is still studying ma*****na to this day and has published 400 scientific papers and is the holder of 25 patents. He calls cannabis a “medicinal treasure trove”.
FYI CBD is routinely used in the Israeli medical system to treat patients.

Here is where it gets really interesting. The human brain has a built in Endocannabinoid System (ECS). CBD oil synergizes and helps support this built in system.

The ECS is our body’s way of communicating with itself to properly regulate bodily functions such as pain sensation, appetite, temperature regulation, stress reactivity, immune function, sleep and many other processes. Muscle and fat tissue also utilize these receptors to control their processes.

The human body also produces endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamide and 2AG.

I personally find it fascinating that the human body has built in cannabinoid receptors and produces cannabinoids as well.

I think somewhere along the way we forgot or were forced to forget about the amazing properties of cannabis. After all if you look at ancient history, cannabis has been found in burial sites as far back as 3,000 BC.

Scientific studies show that CBD oil as well as all micronutrients, phytonutrients, and phyto-cannabinoids found in the oil work in harmony with the human body to create a positive effect for overall wellness.

The toxic overload we now experience on a daily basis compared to just 100 years ago is mind boggling. There is also the Electromagnetic Field or EMF overload that did not even exist 50 years ago. Then you add in the information overload that a person experiences on a daily basis and it is understandable that the body needs extra help more than ever before.

CBD Oil helps the body’s Endocannabinoid System deal with all of these modern day changes.
Scientist are discovering amazing properties associated with consuming CBD oil.

Scientists associated with the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) have elucidated a number of molecular pathways through which CBD exerts a therapeutic impact.
CBD Oil has Anti Cancer Properties

For example, a pre clinical study by Dr. Sean McAllister and his colleagues at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco report on how CBD destroys breast cancer cells by down-regulating a gene called ID-1, which is implicated in several types of aggressive cancer. Silencing the ID-1 gene is, thus, is a potential strategy for cancer treatment.

“Cannabidiol offers hope of a non-toxic therapy that could treat aggressive forms of cancer without any of the painful side effects of chemotherapy,” says McAllister.
CBD Oil promotes overall brain health.

Endocannabinoids (ECS) play a key role in memory, mood, brain reward systems, drug addiction, and energy balance. As the name suggests, they are activated by the same receptors as CBD. Research has been conducted to show the benefits of the ECS system in relation to combating depression and anxiety, to create feelings of well-being. CBD naturally acts on the ECS system’s signals to increase receptor function and flow, combating the effects of anxiety and depression.

CBD has been shown to improve the efficiency of mitochrondria, the energy source for cells. The oxygen cleanse which also reduces the brain’s aging process, plays a part in also increasing brain activity. Through destroying free radicals, mitochondria are able to function properly. Because the brain has an extremely high energy demand it is important to over-exceed this demand to increase proper brain functioning.
CBD OIl is Antibacterial

A study from the University of London showed that CBD provided potent activity against a variety of MRSA strains, the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that is resistant to most antibiotics. This bacteria kills 18,000 of the 94,000 people infected each year in the United States.

CBD has been used as a treatment for tuberculosis since 1950 and has also been shown to fight infections such as staphylococci and streptococci infections that antibiotics are unable to. Most promising of all is the fact that CBD’s antibacterial properties continue to work even on the bacteria that evolves and becomes antibiotic resistant.
CBD or Cannabidiol is finally being recognized as a revolutionary healer.

Ongoing research identifies CBD as an effective treatment for various ailments including inflammation, arthritis, diabetes, mood disorders, ADD, depression, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsons and Huntington’s disease.

Research at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology suggests that CBD can block the progress of arthritis without any of the typical ma*****na effects.
It was quite by accident that I was led to the anti aging benefits of CBD Oil

While this CBD Oil will not make you high, unfortunately it is possible to result in a positive test for THC— much like eating a poppy seed bagel can cause a positive for opiates depending on the type of test. Use discretion if you are planning on being drug tested.
The FDA has not evaluated the validity or truthfulness of these claims; therefore, we encourage you to review published researches relating to the benefits and properties of CBD h**p oils and other CBD products.

Why Thermography?

Thermography is a painless, non-invasive, state of the art clinical test without any exposure to radiation. It is of special interest to women under 50, women with dense breasts and high risk young women.

In addition to breast thermography, you can have a full body or region thermography scans.

This is particularly useful for someone who can’t find the origin of their pain. The information is very helpful for further diagnostics.

Early information about inflammation in the head and neck can lead to appropriate preventative treatments. Thermal findings related to various organs can allow for early warning signs and treatment for areas of concern before they become more serious problems.

I had wonderful personal experience with Dr. Hillary Smith and highly recommend the Thermography center in Studio City.

TOP 12 TOXINS IN PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

Did you know many personal care products contain hormone disrupting chemicals? Hormone balance is complex and we do not need to be adding toxic ingredients to our body every day. We must avoid these at all costs!

BE AWARE OF TOXIC INGREDIENTS IN YOUR SKIN CARE.

There are countless lotions, potions, and serums on the market today to address anti-aging. As a holistic esthetician I began my research by studying the various ingredients for effectiveness as well as safety. What I found was while there are key ingredients listed that have proven benefits, many times the product includes ingredients that have adverse health impacts. I also found that some formulations contained inexpensive fillers that are toxic and actually contribute to aging.

Malachite Gemstone
I love this stone so much it is so beautiful and
I don't know why , but I feel very calm when I hold it in my head. Here are some of its quality...

Malachite is believed to be a strong protector of children.
It is said to protect the wearer from accidents and protects travelers. Malachite has been used to aid success in business and protect against undesirable business associations. It is a stone of balance in relationships.

Malachite is always green, usually in banded tones varying from very dark green to a mellow green. Most malachite comes from Zaire, Chile and Australia.

It is used in amulets to protect against the evil eye. In the Middle Ages it was used to protect children from witches and other dangers.

Malachite is a stone that should not be used for physical healing. Malachite has been called the "mirror of the soul". It is variable in its condition. It reaches the inner feelings of the person and reflects what is there, negative or positive.

It is so beautiful that one would like to wear it in jewelry, but caution must be used when wearing Malachite.
It will always reflect how you feel, if you feel negative don't wear Malachite.
It reminds us that we have a dual nature and it is up to each person to know and rule his own person. To help get rid of nightmares, keep a piece of Malachite in your bedroom.

Good morning and Happy Friday!

I have had a passion for personal wellness and beauty my entire life and have made it a top priority to learn about all aspects of nutrition, spirituality, alternative, and traditional medicine (among others). In my free time, I find pleasure in researching and reading anything and everything that has to do with the art of beauty and strengthening the human body.
