Navigating a new normal can be tough but it is the perfect time to start practicing integration skills. Here are some tips that will support your health and performance career and family wise. 1) Set healthy boundaries for work and life, practice saying no when you need to. 2) Prioritize and schedule YOU time every day. 3) Unplug during meal or family time. 4) Prioritize both work and family tasks every week. Cut out tasks that are not going to support your health or productivity. Stay well and remember, that to do well, you must first be well.

Encouragement for 2020 Graduates

Many people are heartbroken that they won’t be able to have a traditional graduation ceremony this year. Class of 2020 students dreamed of this day, only to find that it won’t look like what they expected. To help these students cope with their disappointment, it’s important to be as encouraging as possible. Instead of saying things like “It could be a lot worse,” “It’s just a graduation ceremony,” and “It isn’t a big deal,” try “Tell me how you’re feeling,” or “I can’t imagine what this might be like for you.” Helpful words can make their day a bit brighter!

Water is Essential for Life

We require sufficient amounts of water to maintain our health and vitality. However, to derive the greatest benefits from the water we consume, we should drink “the purest water possible.” Distilled water is the purest form of water available and contains no solids, minerals, or trace elements, has no taste, no bacteria or other contaminants. Less pure water cannot be used by the body as effectively as distilled water because it contains solids, inorganic minerals, bacteria, toxins, and debris that reduce the water’s ability to perform at a peak level. The purer the water, the more our bodies benefit.

How Healthy Is Your Home?

Are the chemicals you’re using to clean your home actually doing more harm than good? The average household contains more than 60 harmful chemicals, and these can negatively impact your health and the health of your family. Cleaning with harsh chemicals can result in irritation in the eyes or throat, headaches, and even long-term effects like endocrine disruption (hormonal effects) and asthma. Consider using more plant and enzyme-based natural products that will get your home sparkling clean without sacrificing your family’s health. Natural ingredients can be just as effective, and provide the added benefit of being environmentally friendly as well!

What is Bioresonance Therapy?

Bioresonance therapy works to create harmony among all systems in the body by neutralizing disturbances caused by negative frequencies, and by strengthening the healthy frequencies of organs and cells. This allows the body to naturally restore and heal itself. For example, the kidneys have a specific group of frequencies that, when healthy, are harmonious with our body as a whole. However, if the kidneys are affected by bacteria, they will resonate with a different frequency, alerting to unhealthy cells. With this in mind, bioresonance therapy looks for the root causes of the illness/symptoms and works to neutralize them.

Combat Pandemic-Related Loneliness

Whether you’re self-isolating to limit your exposure, staying home because you feel unwell, or quarantining to keep others safe, being at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness if you’re by yourself. Some ways to help you cope with these feelings include: 1) keeping to a schedule to feel as “normal” as possible; 2) staying active indoors or outside; 3) connecting with others remotely via video call, phone call, or social media; 4) practicing self-care, like taking a long bath or meditating; and 5) distracting yourself with activities that you enjoy.

Vipassana Meditation

Research has shown that meditation can expand the brain, and help people avert stress and disease. One way to achieve this is through Vipassana meditation, a technique that emphasizes mindfulness, with the goal of seeing things as they “really are”. An ancient meditative technique from India, Vipassana was taken up by Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) just over 2,500 years ago. Vipassana meditation is an honest and direct practice: the moment-to-moment investigation of the mind-body process through calm, open, and precise awareness. This experience fosters clarity and penetrating insight into the nature of who we are, as well as increased peace in our daily lives.

Home is the Safest Place for Care

Many people want to remain in their own homes, independently, for as long as possible. The word “home” provides a sense of comfort, safety and familiarity. During the COVID pandemic, this couldn’t ring more true. With many businesses and services closed or severely limited, now is the time you may consider all inclusive home health care services. Staying home with all services provided by exclusive staff greatly reduces the risk for exposure to COVID-19 while still enabling you to remain safe, independent and alleviate potential loneliness.
