and how to let it happen more
Our body is not at war with any virus, bacteria
or fungus. The physical environment is either
suitable to its replication or not.
Waiting (a healing song)
video and audio below
Dear Friends,
The greater the balance we have in our lives the easier it
is to hear, feel or know when something is not in balance.
Here are ideas to help bring your body into greater balance,
starting with bacteria and organisms that exist inside your
intestines and colon. As I have stated before, my guides
indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which in turn causes a
wide range of infections labeled Covid-19, is pushing us to
see lifestyle and cultural imbalances we have accepted as
'just the way things are' and choose to change them.
Most of us
have heard that 80% or more of our immune system resides in
our intestines and colon. Our gut also plays the starring
role in our general sense of well-being, energy level and
nutrition. A wide range of living organisms exist inside our
gut's microbiome. And they live, ideally, in balance with
each other. This allows each to function in a manner that
sustains their health, and our own health.
We are engaged in both energetic and physical relationships
with each bacteria, bacteriophage, fungus, protozoa and
virus. Each is alive, and carries a consciousness within it.
And yes, we 'hear' that consciousness on some level.
For example, the common candida yeast/fungus always exists
in some quantity within our body. It needs us to consume
sugar and quickly digestible carbohydrates in order to have
a source of food for itself. When we lower our intake of
sugar and carbohydrates, such as during a sugar de-tox, the
candida 'cry out' psychically for their food source to be
reinstated.
Many people 'hear' their cries, and without recognizing the
source, interpret the death process that the fungi are going
through as their own human body being ill. As a result the
psychic cry from the fungi compounds the physical body's
withdrawal symptoms. This, in my experience, is the
energetic basis for physically craving what we know is not
ultimately healthy.
Here is an energy trick:
Treat the
craving as being the voice or desire of a conscious being.
In many ways it is, since it is arising from the candida's
death throes.
Ask the craving for sweets you are experiencing (or whatever
you notice, such as your sadness, foggy brain etc.)
'What percentage
of this is really mine?' You
will feel something shift, sometimes lessening but sometimes
worsening the symptoms. Either
reaction tells you that the consciousness is listening and
responding to your consciousness.
Ask the question again. Each time you ask it becomes easier
for you to sort out what is truly a result of your body's
de-tox process, and what are the psychic messages from the
consciousness of the dying fungi.
I realize for some people this may sound absurd! But just as
we can experience reactions to the energies outside of our
bodies (from other people, or places we have visited) so too
we can 'hear' the health (or dying cries) of organisms
living within our body. This same process can be used for
emotions, repeating thoughts, beliefs and habits. Try it
out, and see what you notice shifting.
Building a Robust Immune System as a part of Preventing, not fixing Disease
(7 ideas you can use now)
The Role
of Vitamin D in Your Immune System Some
Background on why vitamin D levels are not
adequate, or accurate Your body
prefers to make its own vitamin D 1. UVC light
is emitted by our sun, but fully blocked by the
atmosphere. Modern technology has created UVC lamps
that can be used to disinfect things. UVC light
destroys living tissue, thus killing viruses,
bacteria, etc. You know this from the boxes that
will clean CPAP machines and shoe wands that kill
athlete's foot fungus in shoes. Exposure to UVC
light kills skin cells and damages human eyes. For
this reason its use requires great care. Let's put
vitamin D and our gut microbiome's immune response
into relationship Probiotics
are living microorganisms UPDATE:
Powdered Probiotics What this
means
Medical
studies are catching up with what holistic practitioners and
energy healers have known for decades; exposure to the sun
is crucial for our physical, emotional and mental
health.
A medical study released on February 3, 2022 from the
Galilee
Medical Center
(GMC) in Nahariya, Israel, concluded that "Among
hospitalized COVID-19 patients, pre-infection deficiency of
vitamin D was associated with increased disease severity and
mortality." And yet there are earlier medical studies
showing little or no correlation between COVID-19 and
vitamin D levels. Why is this?
My sense is that Western science is not yet acknowledging
that their 'normal' vitamin D levels (in the USA it is
between 20 and 40 ng/mL) are much too low. And many people
do not easily extract vitamin D from food or oral
suppliments due to chronic bowel distress and inflammation.
Therefore supplementing with UVB or sunlight exposure is the
easiest way to raise vitamin D levels.
When future tests look at higher levels of vitamin D (40 -
65 ng/mL, 66-80 ng/mL, 80 ng/mL and up) they may find that
yes, there is a relationship between healthy levels (above
40 or 50 ng/mL) and levels beneath that.
Vitamin D1
was first identified in 1925, vitamin D2 in 1932 and vitamin
D3 (created by our body in response to exposure to the sun's
UVB rays) was discovered in 1937. Blood tests for vitamin D
levels were only done when a patient presented with an
illness that has been associated with lower vitamin D
levels. In the 1970's some physicians began testing patients
in the winter months, when vitamin D3 levels are lowest.
NOTE: In researching this part I found an
article, based
on information from a major insurance company, stating that
there is "no medical reason to have their vitamin D levels
tested" unless the patient presents with a small list of
diagnosed diseases. It is from 2015. It also states ""Even
with a medical indication to test for vitamin D deficiency,
it's valid to question the need for the test, because the
outcome won't necessarily change the treatment".
And from Harvard
Medical School,
this article dated 2014 entitled "Vitamin D testing not
recommended for most people" The title says it all!
In the period of time since levels of vitamin D were able to
be tested in our blood, we have lived primarily indoors and
consumed commercially processed food. It seems that most
vitamin D tests have been performed because someone was
already ill or because they had little or no sunshine
exposure in the winter months. Testing the vitamin D levels
of healthy individuals on a regular basis simply does not
yet exist. Therefore the 'normal' level of vitamin D found
in these tests may not be the healthy level of vitamin D. It
is simply the level that reflects illness and our
lifestyle.
Human skin is
meant to interact with the sun. When our skin is exposed to
UVB light from the sun a process begins to create vitamin D.
It turns out that vitamin D, among the many things it does,
assists our body to calm inflammation in our bowels. Since
about 80% of our immune system lives in the microbiome of
our bowels, it makes sense that our body's response to
infection is stronger with the most advantageous levels of
vitamin D.
Supplementing with vitamin D3, sublingual or oral, is the
standard protocol
for raising vitamin D levels, balanced with oral K2.
However, human bodies are designed to create vitamin D from
the sun, not to extract it from food.
So spending time outside in a sunny warm climate is ideal.
However, it may not be practical in extreme temperatures or
weather!
I live a few miles south of the Canadian border. For myself,
I followed both my intuition and my common sense in deciding
to invest in a UV lamp when I could not get enough sun
exposure. Here is what I found:
There are three principle types of UV or ultraviolet light:
UVA, UVB and UVC
While both
UVA and UVB lamps have traditionally been used for promoting
human health (and in tanning beds) they are notorious for
giving off huge amounts of unhealthy radiation. There are
now UVA and UVB lamps that have taken into account these
radiation issues. Look at the Sperti
brand lamps for
a good example. I have used their Vitamin
D lamp for
more than 5 years and love it.
2. UVA is the range of UV light that gives us a
tan.
3. UVB is the range of UV light that our bodies
absorb and transmute into vitamin D.
In an article
entitled "Relationships
Between Vitamin D, Gut Microbiome, and Systemic Autoimmunity
relationship",
the authors explore how "vitamin D deficiency may contribute
to autoimmunity via its effects on the intestinal barrier
function, microbiome composition, and/or direct effects on
immune responses." They also note that the microbiome
composition of active MS patients was markedly different
from those in remission. While not conclusive, they suggest
that "unique MS-associated bacteria might affect different
immune cells to promote inflammation."
This same pattern of specific bacteria being over-abundant
and others being underrepresented appears in many chronic
inflammatory illnesses. They note that it is not just the
amount, but the lack of diversity in the strains of bacteria
found in the gut microbiome that is a common factor to poor
immune response and bowel inflammation.
"It has recently been shown that the composition of the gut
microbiome can be altered by vitamin D". Some bacteria
flourish when vitamin D is in short supply, while others die
off. They found that "8-weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation
resulted in increased species richness" of both upper
and lower GI tracks.
So, in addition to helping our body create its own vitamin
D, let's look at how we can easily enrich and diversify our
gut microbiome…
I know this
sounds so simple…but it is so true…and you have
probably heard it before! True fermented foods have active
living microorganisms within them. These living
microorganisms, commonly referred to as probiotics, provide
the microorganisms already living in your gut with physical
building blocks and energetic life-force.
So yes, that means eating salt-fermented (not
vinegar-fermented) veggies (sauerkraut), kvass (fermented
beets in salt water), organic fermented tempeh and natto,
organic miso, unsweetened organic grass-fed yogurt or
alternative milk yogurt and kefir (hint: try unsweetened
coconut water kefir).
The microorganisms that live within these foods keep the
microorganisms within your body's microbiome balanced. And
when the gut's microbiome is balanced, so too is your immune
response. Whether you are preventing or treating a disease,
your immune system, and hence your microbiome, is at
work.
NOTE: Purchasing commercially fermented products requires
label-reading and research. Truly alive fermented sauerkraut
will continue to ferment at room temperature and needs to be
refrigerated in order to slow fermentation. Otherwise the
continuing fermentation process will generate gases that
cause a tightly sealed container to explode.
For this reason living fermented food is always refrigerated
to slow down the fermentation process. If any fermented item
has been given a 'bath', the fermentation process has been
halted. This makes it easier to ship and sell, but means
that all or most of the live microorganisms within it have
died. Look for a local brinery and do your homework. Your
body needs living microorganisms to create life.
Personally, I hated sauerkraut until recently. It was always
oddly tart sweet due to added white sugar or just bitter.
Only after researching and trying a local brinery's
sauerkrauts did I realize that my body loves the life-force
in these living
foods.
Once I was eating the living version of these foods my body
and tastebuds understood what I was tasting…living
microorganisms! Before this, I was eating the commercially
'bathed' sauerkraut that contained dead microorganisms.
Naturally that was giving me an odd taste and reading as
psychically 'wrong' to my body.
While I am still not a fan of the taste, I can feel the
balance and energetic uplift I get when I eat sauerkraut.
Ditto for kvass, kombucha, tempeh, etc. I encourage you to
try different fermented foods and brands, and see what you
notice.
Western
medicine is picking up on the link between probiotics and
immune system response. I see several new medical studies
now calling for participants. In each study the participant
will be given large amounts of a single strain of a
microorganism in powered form. Sigh….Holistic
practitioners understand that our microbiome is not made up
of one or two microorganisms, but millions.
For this reason taking powdered probiotics with just a few
types (strains) of probiotics may give some temporary
symptom relief, but in order to build a robust immune system
, which means having intestines and a colon that will not
constantly become inflamed, we need to take in a multitude
of probiotic strains. If you are taking powered probiotics
daily read the label and get as many strains as possible
rather than a large amount of just one strain.
Remember, eating a variety of fermented foods lets your body
interact with many naturally occurring strains. Those
strains that are lacking in your intestines/colon will find
a welcome place to grow in your microbiome, and those that
you already have in abundance will naturally be shed in
feces.
Probiotics in
fermented food can also aid in addressing foggy brain and
low energy levels.
Here is why: Few of us living in Western society learned to
distinguish between our navel, pubic bone, tailbone,
energetic grounding and intestines. We simply learned that
'down there' was a dark and dangerous zone, best left
alone!
So when a slight imbalance first begins in our gut, we don't
notice or interpret the discomfort as being in our
intestines/colon. Rather, as the imbalance increases, we are
more apt to notice the side-effects in other parts of our
body that we are more aware of, like our heads and thinking
process.
If not treated, the situation will eventually become acute
enough that we will feel the (usually super painful) lower
physical body's distress. But after the issue in the gut is
resolved we often forget the early symptoms like foggy brain
and fatigue that we experienced before the gut pain arose.
So we are not apt to remember the initial symptoms that are
part of our gut distress and immune system imbalance.
For this reason I often see an energetic connection between
foggy brain, fatigue and even lack of ease in sleeping as
early warning signs of an issue based in the gut.
In this and
the last newsletter I detailed several ideas to both promote
well-being and treat imbalances that might arise. Preventing
illness, rather than waiting to fix it, is a major change we
can make in our lives, and in society.
Unless you live close to the land in some mountain village
lost to time, you are probably exposed to imbalances in the
world around you. I do believe that COVID and each of its
strains offers humanity opportunities to correct imbalances
by highlighting these imbalances. And there are a few more
imbalances that my guides have suggested writing about!
These are deemed normal and acceptable by our society.
My next newsletter will focus directly on our sleep quality.
This includes our society's glamorization of using
stimulants such as caffeine and blue light from screens for
energy followed by the contrasting effects of sedatives
(alcohol and food) to find rest. The minimalization of the
importance of cannabinoids (hemp), and melatonin production
(covered
in my previous newsletter)
are part of this same pattern.
Clearly these behaviors are not conducive to problem
solving, patience and balanced emotions. And, each behavior
that creates imbalance, no matter how gloriously and loudly
sanctioned by Western society, allows viruses such as
SARS-CoV-2 to flourish.
My guides remind me over and over again that each of our
bodies interacts with our world, and the world 'hears' us as
we change. Thus we bring that change, in our physical body,
emotions and consciousness as an offering to our
worlds.

A TINY BIO
I have always seen auras. As a psychic I 'see' how people connect to their guides, angels, and other people. My healings assist in clearing accumulated cobwebs and awakening the innate creativity and healing potential within each person. I use my intuition, insights from your guides and angels, healing energies and music in this process. I believe that our world is healed as each person heals themselves.
Private
Healing Sessions ---- Much has been
spoken in the last few decades about the rising of
the Divine Feminine, and now it is time for the
Sacred Masculine to be afoot. It is available to
each of us through the choices we express in daily
life and living. Here we honor the empowerment
within that allows us to be present as a tender
expression of the Sacred
Masculine. Private
Healing
Sessions Yes,
please share these newsletters with your friends,
your email circle and social media.
(offered by phone or Skype or Zoom)
Sessions
include both information from your guides and
angels, as well as healing energies to facilitate
changes your Soul desires in your body and your
life. This multi-faceted approach is notably deep
and most people find that one or two sessions
provides them with substantial, lasting and
profound change. The kind of change that is so
complete that there is little or no going back to
the other ways of being.
In these healing sessions the spiritual foundation
of who you are (the portion of your soul
incarnating right now) engages with your body in a
new way. This allows what does not reflect your
Soul and body to be revealed, understood, and
released. Simply put, the real world version of you
catches up with the spiritual foundation of who you
truly are. After the healing session your Soul,
body and life will reflect each other more
accurately.
How
Your Healing is
Supported
I do not intend or focus healing so that your
body looks perfect, or that your aura looks like it
does in a book. My guides consult and follow your
guides, asking at each organ, each chakra, each
issue in your life; what is it that your body and
Soul choose? What is your next step? And in this
process, allowing whatever no longer serves your
Soul's journey to be released.
A recording is made of the session. When you listen
to the recording your guides and the healing angels
will return to continue to help your personal inner
understanding and release continue. Sessions are
$215 and last about an hour. Please be in touch
with me to secure an appointment time.
