More on Staying Healthy: The Importance of Happy Thoughts

To stay healthy it is important to have happy thoughts, (don't ruminate about the news)... Find fun things in your life every day...Connect with people you love... Enjoy the little things like watching snow falling on the trees and admiring blue Feburary skies and drinking Hot Cocoa. 

Finding your own way to improve your mood creates positive thoughts and positive thoughts cause your body to function more positively and properly.

You Don't Have to Suffer with a Cold or Flu!

Stop a cold in a few hours and a flu in a day!!
Really, herbs can work that fast when used often. The key is to catch the infection at the first signs of a problem. I got over the flu last week in one day by taking Flu the Coop and Viral Resolve and Immuni-Tea about every half hour. Other people have done the same with these wonderful Extracts.

I've stopped a cold in as little as 3 hours many times by taking Stop It Cold every 15 minutes! As symptoms abate, you can take the extracts less often until all symptoms are gone. Herbs are amazingly effective when you know how to take them. They enhance our immune system rather than supressing it or taking it over as antiobiotics do. We are lead to believe that colds and flus last days or even weeks. That does not have to be true. We don't need to suffer...there are no rewards or merits to suffering...so be good to yourself and help your body be the amazing creation that it is. What it needs is your belief that it can heal, your loving attention, a little rest and assistance with healing herbs. If you haven't caught the infection at the beginning, the herbs may take longer to work, but work they will when you are consistent.

To stay well take vitamins C and D3, probiotics and lots of vegtables on a regular basis. Also drink plenty of water and tea. Immuni-Tea can be used anytime and Chai GreenTea is a delightful warming tea. Both have immune enhancing properties and are also on the web site. Fresh ginger and lemon can be added to either one.

You can access these with more detailed information on my web site: www.injoynow.com under Herbal Therapies and then Herbal Extracts with Flower Essences.

As our old friends on Sesame Street say:

"Sing, sing a song sing out loud, sing out strong...sing of good things not bad, make it happy, not sad."

Watch for my next post that will talk more about this and how our happiness is directly related to our health.

The Mayans Knew the Benefits of Chocolate Thousands of Years Ago

We do live in challenging times, times that can be exciting and wonderful when we know how to navigate them. It is up to each of us as individuals to make our world what we want. What we think and feel will determine our experiences in life. I will write more about this as I go.

I love to share insights and bits of magic and wisdom as well as ways to make our lives more joyous, comfortable and real. I also love to learn, experience and share information about the power of herbs, foods and natural healthy living.

The Mayans & The Benefits of Chocolate
Now, chocolate IS natural and healthy.
It really does uplift our spirits, making our days more joyful. As I was drinking my organic Hot Chocolate today by my wood stove, I was thinking about how the Mayans knew the benefits of chocolate thousands of years ago. The Mayans and Aztecs treasured and consumed cacao as early as 600 B.C. Later exported to Europe, it was reserved for the wealthy for centuries. Cocoa is often referred to as "A Gift from the Gods", and likely so with all of it's health benefits!

How did the Mayans know that Chocolate was a health food? They were in touch with their inner knowing, something we have, for the most part, discounted today. It is comforting to know that ancient wisdom exists and that we can and do tap into it. Consider how many people crave and consume chocolate. It really is a health food. (How good is that!!?) And perhaps it is one way that we tap into ancient wisdom that is True and Real!

When we are conscious of this latent ability, we can call it forth in present time. I will be writing more about chocolate and tapping into our inner knowing soon! For now I am ready for another cup of my organic sugar free Hot Chocolate.

Now we all can enjoy chocolate liberally without the side effects of sugar in my unique recipe.
