When we face discomfort or don’t like something (including aspects of our selves like the shape of our body, a particular trait, or habit) our natural tendency is to get down on ourselves. What if instead of wanting and wishing for it to be different, we simply acknowledge it for what it is and let it be?

Wireless and other EMF’s play a role in autism. A simple EMF reduction protocol can be implemented to see if it positively impacts your loved ones. For two weeks (10 hours a night) try the following: Turn off your Wi-Fi router at night. Keep all wireless devices out of the bedroom (phone, fitness devices, tablets, etc.). Unplug your cordless phone base station. Turn off wireless baby monitors. Lastly, turn off the circuit breakers to your bedroom. After two weeks, see if you notice a difference. You may be surprised at what it can do for your health and well-being.
