One of the things that has helped the most is establishing a new, fresh energy there… and I want to share how we did that with you here today! My children worked on two different mirror-related crafts (I found them via Pinterest… thank you Pinterest!) that I love so much… both have helped dramatically lift the energy flow in our new home. We actually started creating these mirrors …

Sleep Deprivation Found To Increase Weight After Only A Few Days

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, recently published in SLEEP last month (July 2013) found that folks gained a significant amount of weight after only 5 days of poor sleep. Previous studies have shown a link between poor sleep and weight gain, but this is the first study where participants slept in-house in a sleep facility and the actual weight gain was measurably significant after only a handful of 4 hour nights in a row.

Inspiration For Your Journey Today

Healthy Mindframe, Positive Parenting, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am so blessed to receive emails from a dear soul named Michael. Michael lives across the ocean from me yet speaks right to the heart of things so clearly that I feel as if he is standing right next to me. Michael knows about big transitions, about pain, about suffering… and because of this he knows a lot about joy, and love, and interconnection. You see, Michael has inoperable cancer. And yet, through this journey Michael feels alive, he feels love, and he understands more deeply than most of us that emotions are all interconnected… and …

Independence Day Gratitude

Healthy Mindframe, Positive Parenting, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

We love the 4th of July!!!! Last year as part of our homeschooling journey I read the Declaration of Independence to my children on the 4th of July. We discussed the meaning of the word choices in this declaration, the importance of the risk and the stand that our forefathers took in proclaiming their independence… and the sacrifices they made to lay the foundation of the country we live in today. “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, …

The World’s First Children’s Book about Earthingâ„¢!

Grounding, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am so passionate about Earthingâ„¢ that I recommend it every single day to my patients — young and old alike. Connecting to the earth and grounding with your child is one of the best things you can do to support their long-term health. So many parents wanted to know exactly how to introduce Earthingâ„¢ as a healing technique with their young child. And how to explain it to older children who had scientific questions. Some parents wanted to know about what to do during bad weather or in the cold winter. Some were already connecting to the earth …
