Women hold the secret to healing within themselves.   Healing of her complete body; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, is connected with the honoring and knowing the deeper truth of her own mystery.    Her physical body is a representation of the subtle bodies within; therefore any imbalance or disease state has a subtle component and can be addressed through healing of the heart.  Once a women becomes conscious of the sacredness of her body, she is able to restore harmony and health.  Whether she suffers from headaches, pain, menstrual discomforts, depression, anxiety, or other disorders such as infertility, etc., many of women’s physical imbalances stem from the separation of herself and her sacredness.

The mysteries of the sacredness of the feminine have been lost throughout time and throughout the establishment of our patriarchal system.  Nonetheless, the time has come for women to become conscious of the sacred feminine and integrate the Divine Mother into their consciousness fully.

During the time of women’s monthly menses, her body produces DMT; Dimethyltryptamine, a compound that produces an expanded state of awareness.  This DMT is found in the menstrual blood, which is an indication of the expanded consciousness that is inherent in the state of our menses every month.  Women’s bodies are designed to experience these expanded levels of awareness every month, during her cycle, enabling her to reach the expanded levels of consciousness of the unified field.  DMT, also dubbed the spirit molecule, is has been used in shamanic rituals as a brew made from specific plants, used for divinatory and healing purposes.

Many cultures, post-matriarchal societies, have used hallucinogenic herbs to reach the same states that are produced in women’s bodies naturally.  Women release this hormone from the pineal gland during her monthly menses, which allows this time of the menses to be sacred and powerful.   This is the time when she is closest to Divine Mother.   As her consciousness innately expands in this sacred time, she is able to deeply purify herself and her family, through her heart and receive divinely inspired messages from Divine Mother.

Her cycles are a time of death and rebirth that happens monthly.  This death and rebirth happens at every level being a cleansing of old ideas, old patterns and a time to clear out the negativity of old conditioning. It is a time to dive into the deep altered states of the Divine and surrender all that is not useful, allowing it to be washed away and healed.  This is a time of deep purification, innately designed.

During the second half of a women’s cycle after the death of her old conditioning, comes a rebirth of all new possibilities.  The rebirth is a time of receiving new ideas, inspirations and messages from Divine Mother, through her heart connection.  Throughout this time of expanded consciousness, women can easily communicate with the Divine consciousness and receive those messages that not only help her evolve spiritually, but also help her families and loved ones.  It is an opportunity each month for divine guidance and evolution.

This sacred time of women’s menses has been observed and respected throughout ancient cultures and many secrets are not known to the modern women.  Women generally feel disconnected to their own bodies and disconnected to these deeper truths.  Many experience their cycle as something to tolerate, altering it with hormones for convenience, or having it disappear altogether.   Many others have severe pain and discomfort, resulting in many gynecological disorders that further assault the body with invasive treatments.   It is important for women’s own healing and health to observe these cycles and return to the honoring of her body and what these cycles mean, in order to restore harmony to her health in her physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

In ancient cultures, women use to isolate themselves and go into seclusion during their menses in order to experience these powerful states of expanded consciousness and healing.  These retreats allowed space for the clearing of negativity and the receiving of divinatory messages during her monthly cycle of death and rebirth.    It is women’s disconnection with her innate power that continues to contribute to her imbalances within herself and the planet.  Allowing herself time for reflection, meditation, and heart connection with Divine Mother can begin her healing process of the feminine soul.  This is the time of month, where she can return to be with herself and less with the world.  She can observe this time by being gentle with herself, by taking baths, being nurturing and nourishing her spirit.  This begins the process of honoring the sacredness of her body and all the mysteries that it contains.

Becoming conscious of her sacred truth and deep connection with Divine Mother, is the journey to wholeness; a state of healing and health.  In this honoring, women become aware of the blessings that have been given in their bodies, the true aspects of their subtle bodies, including the Divine light that is within each one of them.    As women become conscious of these connections with her cycles and sacredness, she begins the true honoring of the Feminine.

Studies have shown that 30-50% of all infertility is caused by male factor. On a physical level, it is important to improve quality and quantity of the sperm in order to achieve conception and Acupuncture, Chinese Meidicne and specified supplements have been shown to do just that. On an energetic level, it is also important to pay attention to where our stress is coming from and take down time for ourselves to incorporate practices such as bodywork and acupuncture to reduce stress that may interfere with the body’s ability to produce quality specimen.

What You Asked for

After many years of having the female patients ask for treatments for the men, we are finally incorporating our Integrative Medicine protocol treatments for male fertility in our center.   We will be offering a treatment plan of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, Nutritional supplementation & Diet, & Therapeutic Massage therapy in order to further help couples achieve conception.  It is a very well known practice in China to treat both the male and the female for infertility, regardless of the physical manifestation.  Due to imbalances in the vital energy and organs, one of the partners can be affected even though it is not demonstrated in a physical disorder.  Therefore, treating both partners seems to reduce stress and bring health to the body overall, and therefore achieve conception quicker.

What is Electro-sound Lymphatic Drainage?

Electro-Lymphatic Drainage is a one-hour accelerated method of cleansing and detoxifying the Lymphatic System. In a blocked or congested lymphatic System, Lymph Fluid is thick, sticky, stagnant, and toxic, which prevents it to circulate and eliminate wastes. Through the use of this therapy, breaking down congested Lymph Fluid is painlessly achieved in a two-step process using the XP instrument.

An Impaired Lymphatic System often results in colds, flu and sinus problems, allergic systems, edema and excess water retention, weight imbalances, reproductive and endocrine imbalances, heart disease, fibrocystic and tender breasts, cellulite, enlarged prostate and even cancer.  The good news is that lymphatic health can be restored even in cases of severe impairment using our Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy utilizing IGII or in our case the Lymph Drainage XP™ family of instruments.

The Lymphatic system is actually a vital circulatory system with an extensive network of vessels throughout the body. Your body contains about 50% more lymphatic fluid than blood and your lymphatic system contains over 600 collection sites called lymph nodes. These nodes are formed at the junction sites of the lymph vessel network. Your lymphatic system is responsible for supplying plasma rich protein to your blood as well as carrying away toxins and other debris.

Your lymphatic system is your primary defense against bacteria, viruses and fungus and primarily responsible for your immune function. Most chronic disease problems occur at the junction of lymph vessels called lymph nodes. In women, the axillary nodes, located in the armpit, are the primary channels for releasing accumulated lymph from the breasts. Unlike your venous system, your lymphatic system has no pumping mechanism to keep the fluid circulating through the body. Therefore, the lymphatic system is always at a higher risk for blockage. Blockages can occur from normal life stressors such as; illnesses, tight fitting clothing including ties, bras, jockey shorts and pantyhose’ lack of exercise, bumps, bruises and other injuries, exposure to heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, food allergies or sensitivities, and surgery.

In our experience, the various manual lymphatic methods available to therapists do a reasonable to good job of opening the surface lymphatic using a therapeutic technique known as manual lymph drainage developed in Europe 25 years ago. Through delicate massaging techniques it was highly effective at reducing lymph-based disorders, but the process is very labor intensive and oftentimes leaves the client exhausted and sore for days.

The Lymph Drainage XP™ (The State of the Art in Electro-sound Lymphatic Drainage Instrumentation) has proven 
to provide the most effective tool to help stimulate blocked lymph buildup and effectively reduces swelling and edema caused by trapped proteins. Each session is equivalent to eight to ten manual lymphatic drainage sessions.

The Two Step  System of the Lymph Drainage XP™ 

STEP 1: While the client rests comfortably on a massage table, by using the XPT, there is an increase of electrostatic tension and stimulation of the lymphatic drainage. The XPT is a high frequency electro sound therapy machine that contains hand blown glass bulbs that transmit three noble gases: Argon, Xenon, and Krypton, which devitalize bacteria, viruses, etc. This electric charge of gases, stimulate, re-polarize and re-establish ideal frequency and energy of cells, tissues and decongest the entire Lymphatic System, by producing a mild heating effect, increasing circulation, activating lymph, breaking up blockages, detoxifying, and enhancing the immune system.

STEP 2: Lymph (fat and cellulite) is directed manually along the limbs and torso (always in the direction of the ducts) with two probes of a micro-current stimulator on the XPT delivering a frequency-specific signal. This stimulates the lymphatic system and increases circulation, proper elimination, detoxification, cell nourishment, and immunity.

BENEFITS OF LYMPHS DRAINAGE THERAPY include:

• Reduces symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
• Supports preventative health maintenance
• Reduces EDEMA (swelling) and Lymph edema
• Detoxifies the body tissues
• Enhances the endocrine and hormonal system.
• Regenerates tissue, including burns, scars (pre and post surgical), stretch marks and wrinkles (especially on the face).
• Relieves chronic joint and muscle pain
• Relieves discomfort from fibro-cystic breasts
• Supports post-mastectomy health
• Promotes T-cell development
• Removes pathogens via the Lymph System
• Assists weight loss
• Alleviates cellulite tissue

A wide range of practitioners use Lymphatic Drainage therapy, including Medical Doctors, Osteopathic Physicians, Chiropractors, dentists, Nurses, Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, and Colon Therapists.

As part of our Integrative Medicine program for women,  we are excited and delighted to offer  the Lymphatic Drainage treatment with the Lymph Drainage XP™ system.  We believe it can have sustaining positive results in achieving health and balance for the endocrine, reproductive and all the other wellness programs that we offer here at Nourishing Women.

As I sat in my living room quietly on Sunday morning, my attention was curiously drawn to a show that had a neuroscientist talking about his conversion to “being a believer in the Divine”.  He had recently had a Near Death Experience and survived to tell the story.  Now, it wasn’t so much that he had survived a miraculously recovery of zero % prediction from his doctors, or that he had been brain dead and now was able to fully function even better than before.  And it wasn’t even the fact that he had a spectacular near death experience, which in itself is miraculous.  No, what caught my attention so intensely was the fact that here was a man in the lime light of Harvard western conventional scientific community, that fervently defended science and denied any divine force, now a convert and passionately defending the divine and “heaven” to all within his community and the world.  And now he was bringing a new awareness to that community, through his own exposure of his new reality.  He was stepping out of the mold and veil and bringing Truth to that part of the world, a world in complete denial of reality.  And the world was listening, evidenced of his new best seller “proof of Heaven”.  It is so powerful to see someone’s world turned upside down within a 4 hour period, as his was, and come out on the other side.

While for me and you there may be nothing new about a near death experience, it may a common state we travel through on a daily meditation, but there is great power in someone such as a scientist, that lives in the world of denial to experience it  and acknowledge it within the community of  scholars and bring new consciousness of the Truth.   And it was at this moment that I began to see how powerful the force of Divine is throughout our world, that in one minute not just one life is changed forever,  but also how easily a new consciousness can be expanded, easy if you are the divine force, of course!  And from this vantage point, I could see the ripple effects of the New consciousness of the Divine spreading through our whole planet, even amongst the darkest places skepticism and denial.

Now, there is no doubt left that this new consciousness is possible on our planet, and that it is all orchestrated by the Divine, even if I don’t always see the details.  I can feel assured that all I have to do is continue to spread the Truth and the love and peace, in my circle, and inspire others to do the same.

Be you all be blessed during this New conscious awakening, and may you all believe in the love.  I have created a Winter Solstice Meditation for all to activate this light within themselves. Click here to listen.

Happy Winter Solstice 2012.

The Symbol is Capricorn 1: AFter Operating 100 Years A Mining Town is Shut Down.

December 21st is the Winter Solstice – the day when the Sun is three quarters through the year which began on March 20, 2012. The Sun enters Capricorn at 00 degrees. This is the Last Quarter for the year when Winter cold blankets the Northern Hemisphere. It is a time of going within to review what the year has given us. It is also a time of ending. We prepare to leave the year behind.

Looking at the astrological energy for the year, we see that the focus has been on relationships and communication. Pluto and Uranus focused on major changes at all levels – personal, local, political, economical, global. Fears were raised by the controversy about the Mayan Calendar. The one sure thing is that life goes on day after year after century after millennia. But in the larger scheme of things perhaps one thing that is ending is male dominance in society.

In the chart of the Winter Solstice the Sun and the Asteroid Goddess Juno are together. In the myth, Jupiter, Juno’s husband, had a great time with the ladies. Juno carried out several acts of revenge, in her effort to maintain the sanctity of marriage and relationships. The Sun is our ego. Sun and Juno represents our commitment as women to be true to ourselves, to step forward and take charge of our lives. We are challenged to work towards relationships which show respect and compassion with a goal towards equality that promotes growth of both parties.  The old way of relating based on dominance and submission needs to be replaced by honest and open communication.

The energy of the chart also demonstrates a  willingness to take responsibility to work with friends and acquaintances while committing to a passion for true, honest, deep relationships. The light of the Sun is brightest at the Winter Solstice because it is closest to the earth. The challenge for women is to step forward and take leadership roles in all aspects of life, but with a leaning towards compassion, equality, and respect of differences of all kinds.

When the Sun reaches its furthest point south on December 21^st, it turns around and starts its journey northward. It is the beginning of the light of the Sun returning to us.
