Learn how to feel energy and how you use that energy to actually promote healing.
Have you ever thought there was a power in you that could change your life? When I say Reiki has changed my life, I mean it. It has brought me to more than learning, realization, spiritual Awakening, and amazing people than I only dreamed of! And I'm continually learning!

If this is something that caught your attention - there is a reason. I would love to hear from you and learn your story!

Classes will cost $200 - this price includes your manual, both days of class, mentoring, certificate and required internship (which will include working under myself and other practitioners)

Join us for this small, personal group held May 5th 7:30 am

I can't even with how easy this is! I've made water kefir for years but this is way easier and fits us better. Bonus - I used the whey I have from the yogurt I now make (again, way easier then I ever thought!).
I use this recipe from @helloglowblog

This week our assignment is adding 15lbs of Beans to our food storage.
Now, you remember the post about rice, oats and the one on grain (have I posted on grain yet? Maybe not)? Same goes for beans. You can store them in a big bucket, can them in Mason jars or seal them in mylar bags. I have all of those items in 5 gallon buckets but I have loved having them in mylar bags! Being in an earthquake zone it's nice to not worry about a jar breaking but also I can fit a mylar bag in a 5 gal bucket for a "grab n go" type of situation.

This is another one of those items that I'm like K.... IF an emergency arises and I have literally nothing else to eat I'll actually soak my beans and make something. The beans I used to have in my storage would have been just used for weighting pies and for crafts... But I want to actually learn *in a non-overwhelming way* how to use them.

Also, what do you do with so much beans?!
Momwithaprep blog points out that you can use beans for flour, hummus, bean dip, bean puree to replace butter and thicken soups, bean sprouts and smoothies!

Beans are a powerhouse of nutrients including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Heart healthy, low in fat, high in protein and fiber (promotes regularity when taken with lots of fluids), balances blood sugar, reduces risk of cancer, keeps your appetite satisfied!


Keep up the good work! You'll be glad you did! 👍☺️

Who am I following today? @powerofpositivity!
I'm really struggling today and I know that I can turn to their posts and be lifted!

Today's tip and topic is on our Microbiome and Ferments!What is Microbiome? The vast community of bacteria that lives within us. That protects us against germs, breaks down food to release energy & produces vitamins, minerals, and more.
~these bacteria outnumber our cells 10 to 1! So.. I would say it is very important to keep thia balanced!
Microbiome in our gut governs many of our body's key functions and is CRUCIAL to our health as it affects our immune system, metabolism, GI health, mood and brain health and more.
How do fermented foods help me? They replenish the Microbiome. Helping it to maintain a healthy balance of friendly bacteria. Help is to absorb nutrients. If we have an unhealthy gut we can take vitamins and minerals all day and won't really improve our health.
Fermented foods are a natural probiotic. Did you know that every culture in the world has its own fermented foods?! Most cultures even require it as a staple at mealtimes! So should we.
Because if the heavy consumption of fats foods & packaged foods in our western culture I believe the many health epidemics we have today are caused by this. Unbalanced microbiome can be the cause if obesity, inflammation pain, leaky gut, immune weakness and digestive issues.
70-80% of your immune system is in your gut!! Feed it poorly and it's left with few defenses, easily overwhelmed by bad bacteria, it's left wide open to disease - triggering inflammation.
Options & my favorites: Sauerkraut (Bubbies) & yogurt (Bulgarian or homemade) are my favorite! There is also Kimchi (I have a Kimchi fried rice recipe that is so good!), veggies, and kefir (second fermentation is amazing for combating a pop addiction!)
How do I start? If you're new to ferments start with 1T of Sauerkraut, 1 pickle or 1/4c Kefir or Bubbies juice a day. See how you feel... Stomach ache or other reaction? If not, increase until you are having a ferment with each meal.
Ideas: 1-2 forkfulls of Sauerkraut throughout the day (yes, I'm constantly in the fridge with my fork.) Yogurt in the morning (I also add my gelatin here!! Hello protein, great way to start the day!), fermented carrots and veggies as a snack, Kefir as an afternoon pick me up, milk Kefir in a morning smoothie (again, add your gelatin here!), and Sauerkraut or pickle on the side of your meal.
I will post some recipes in the future! My very round kids are obsessed with Bubbies and I have seen the healing that has come from it (later post on that). I will even sneak kefir into Popsicles sometimes! Even though they'll drink it plain.
Fermented foods get to work as soon as you ingest them! Balancing bacteria and stomach acids, releasing enzymes. Decreasing constipation.
Note: if you are buying your products make sure you look for the following- "fermented" (not "pickled"), "pasteurized", "organic", and keep it cool!

This image has stayed with me since I saw it a few weeks ago. Empowerment starts with "cleaning your side of the street", or "keeping your eyes on your own lane".
Let me ask you a question - Who are you living this life for?
~If your answer is "My children", let me ask you - How is your health? Do you take time for some Self Love? Do you have the health and *energy* to take care of your family and yourself??
~If your answer is "God", I ask you - Is that why God put you on this earth? To love it for him?...... Or to live it in a way that you learn about Him by learning about yourself, gaining education, loving yourself and others in the way that He does, serving, and continually growing? I then ask you- Do you have the will to dive in day after day? The desire to grow and take care of your body, the energy to serve others (and yourself)?
~ If your answer was "myself".. You're right! If it's in an unselfish way and your aim is all of the above. Remember- you cannot pour from an empty cup! And you were born to pour!......... And receive! :)

This week our assignment is adding 48oz of Non-carbonated cans of juice to your 72hr kit. Include a variety and I like to add something like V8 for some sustainability especially if there was a food shortage.#prepardness #Storage #72hrkit #emergency #Preparation

Do you know what Chakra I run into the most as being closed off? The Throat. In the throat we hold
*communication
*creativity
*self will
*OUR voice
The throat chakra also impacts the thyroid directly... Guess how many women I see with Thyroid issues.... About 75%. Something to think about 🍂
From @shantaelizabeth on Instagram - Don't let self doubt steal your joy, dreams, and the possibility of what can be. You have to practice doing the thing that scares you the most until it becomes comfortable. That is how you grow.

Today's tip and topic is seemingly simple.. yet can make the deepest impact.
This morning I found myself feeling really discouraged about some things and immediately even had an affect on me physically. I ran into this thought and gave it a try. I told myself everything would work out and I'm doing, not only my best, but "I'm doing GREAT". "Have faith" "Breathe".... And it forced a breath and smile right out of me!I know it sounds corny and cliche but hey, when it works, it works!! And I rather start my day off on a high vibration than a low one, even if that means doing something corny ;)

This week our assignment is adding a package of wipes to your 72hr kit.
They are very inexpensive so grab a few if you want! They will be handy for baths, food, tables and utensils, and even cleaning a wound.
Keep up the good work!
