Benefits of Biofield Tuning

Biofield Tuning is a sound healing modality using tuning forks combing the electrical field around our body. When working in this field with tuning forks, I can detect sound/electrical disturbances that reflect what happened at a particular time in one’s life. The fork(s) will be played until the sound comes into harmony, which means that the body is pinging back acceptance and integration of the sound. This moment becomes a re-sounding sympathetic resonance with the true frequencies of ourselves from the forks; in other words, we are getting tuned up, just like the vibrational, musical instrument that we are. Clients leave feeling lighter, more grounded (yes, like an electrical current!) and more relaxed after the session.

Do you Suffer from Neck Pain?

The pain might not be coming from your neck; as much as 80% of neck pain doesn’t. For example, if your stomach is cramping from eating food that you are sensitive to, that cramping will pull on the esophagus and cause tension in the front of the throat. To relieve that tension, your head will go forward and down and put strain on the muscles of the neck. What can you do? In this example, you can pay attention to what you eat. You can also get Rolfing sessions. Rolfers are trained to work on the body in this holistic way.

Technology for Self-Healing

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us in natural and man-made devices such as cell phones, microwaves, Bluetooth, and wireless internet. Some studies suggest that they are not dangerous and don’t impose any side effects. Unfortunately, many people complain about the damage that seems to be caused by EMFs—everything from headaches, nausea, and fatigue to various cancers, birth defects, and even death. We can protect ourselves from potential harm created by long-term EMF exposure by using the technology of the RAYD8 REGEN. It will support the body in detoxification and strengthen it for self-healing. Be sure to enter the contest for a chance to win two free sessions.

Stay Hydrated this Holiday Season

While you are enjoying this holiday season, be sure to drink plenty of clear fluids to stay well-hydrated. Water is best. Dehydration, especially for seniors, can be dangerous, with symptoms that may include headaches, confusion, dizziness, fainting, and weakness. Alcohol is a diuretic, so it is best to match every drink with a glass of water. Drinking too many caffeinated beverages can also lead to dehydration. Try to consume high-water-content foods such as soups and fruit with delicious desserts and holiday treats to help with hydration. Happy Holidays!

Be a Santa to a Senior!

Each holiday season, Home Instead’s “Be a Santa to a Senior” program spreads joy to lonely or financially challenged seniors across North America. Through this initiative, community members can purchase gifts for seniors in need, creating an uplifting experience for all involved. This year, Victoria residents can also support seniors by purchasing a meal through Refire Kitchen at their downtown location at 843 Fort St., 100 Aldersmith Pl in Esquimalt, or by phone (778) 406-1011. Your purchase will help a senior in your local community feel remembered and valued. Join us in making a difference this holiday season and brightening the lives of seniors who deserve extra cheer.

Do People Buy Homes Over Christmas?

While many sellers opt to take their homes off the market during the holidays, sales never grind to a halt. The last week of December is often busy! However, the motivation of buyers is different from the normal spring season where buyers want to buy. Over the holidays, they typically NEED to buy. Coupled with seasonal lower inventory, this often means sellers do well. Could that be you? We’d be happy to chat about your real estate needs.
