Health is NOT just the absence of pain, a blood panel within normal limits or a negative result on a medical exam.

Top 3 Ways to Take Better Care of Your Skin
If you are totally committed to creating vibrant health and abundant energy in your life, then it is vitally important to increase your awareness about ALL of the things you are feeding your body. I’m sure you’ve heard a million times “you are what you eat”… Most of us think of this in terms of food, but did you know, that your SKIN acts just like another MOUTH?!
5 Steps To Optimal Spring Cleaning
Spring is a time of rebirth, of cleansing out the old and ushering in the new and of consciously letting go of all those things that no longer serve you so you can continue evolving and stepping into the life you want to create.
In nature, the snow is melting, carrying away old dirt and debris from the mountains and carving new life into the rivers feeding and nourishing plant life and animals along the way.
In the human body, that same “melting” and “liquefying” principle is at play giving a natural gateway for the body to cleanse. You may notice that the spring brings an increase in stuffiness, colds and congestion. This is because the human body is the same as nature, and we are naturally getting rid of what built up over the winter.
