Healing Your Lower Chakras… safety, creativity, power

  YAY! I was recently interviewed about Earthing for Fox NEWS.com and enjoyed it so much!   All about the health benefits of Earthing… and this is a pretty major thing to get into mainstream media. Sure, Earthing is all over the alternative medicine websites and loops but so far, not as much exposure in mainstream culture. In the past few months, though, things are shifting. I’ve given interviews and published articles in First For Women, FoxNEWS.com Magazine (which made it onto the front page of FoxNEWS) and MaryJanes Farm Magazine… which hits newsstands in September.

Everybody already knows this… that digestion and emotions are directly linked. You know that sudden feeling when you are scared and you become instantly nauseous? As a mom I got that feeling all the time when my kids were younger and I lost sight of them for a moment in a public place. It’s a horrendous feeling… it doesn’t matter how hungry you were or how long since your last meal — in life-or-death situations, hunger immediately evaporates and the rest of your senses are heightened (heart pounding and ears and eyes on maximum alert) and you scan the crowd …

Creativity = Health

In honor of the second chakra this week, I am sharing with you an article I once wrote for a feature on Art Snark’s blog many years ago. I still love it and it holds true! How The Simple Act Of Creating Must Create Physical Health I took the scenic route in becoming an artist. The really looooong way around.

Your old theme was “needing to control circumstances to feel safe.”   Your new theme? Focusing on feeling connected at all times. It goes like this: “I am connected, therefore I AM SAFE. I am lovingly held by not only the people and relationships in my life but also more deeply by the earth as it supports our growth and …

Why Would A Physician Work With Chakras?

But the one thing I always touch on, in one way or another, is chakra …
