Why does a Microbiome Matter to me?

Microbiomes, a more recent discovery in scientific research, are showing us the importance of microbes in our body systems. Microbes are those things you may think are pesky such as parasites, fungus, bacteria and viruses. A microbiome refers to the landscape balance between microbes on the inside lining of various body systems (neighborhoods); ocular, oral, gastrointestinal, urogenital, respiratory and skin. Picture it’s like a neighborhood and you want all your neighbors to live in peace and harmony. Imagine if you suffer from or have compromises in any of these body systems and what it might mean to you if science actually could now explain a long term immune support deficiency in allowing your body’s own innate wisdom to address imbalances.

The microbes live in the body surfaces or environments mentioned above. But, we should actually like these. They can help balance our body systems. But so many chemicals, anti-bacterial etc. attacks on these critters have caused them to turn unfriendly. This can lead to an imbalance in our immune system which allows dis-ease or disharmony to affect our body. That is why chemical free products (like Thieves Household Cleaner) are so important for cleaning etc.

The microbiome plays a powerful role in our health. Each person has a unique microbiome that is impacted by your own environment whether physical or emotional. The microbiome communicates with the cells in their neighborhood. This could be between immune system cells, endocrine cells, nervous system cells etc. This neighborhood talk then gets communicated to the brain. This is when brain function and emotions can get majorly impacted. The microbes also talk amongst themselves.

Healthy microbiomes help our immune systems be strong. They help to make friendly microbes to help fight threats. It is these that help lower reactions such as allergies and intolerances that could lead to inflammation. Where there is inflammation in the body, there is pain. These good guys support the immune system to help keep the bad bugs away.

So what does this mean to you? If you have chronic or acute illness with the various body systems mentioned above as microbiome categories, there is a good chance that you would benefit from having your microbiome balance evaluated. The good news is that you have the opportunity to support your immune system with this new found scientific research.

Find out how BodyTalk can help you strengthen and balance these microbiomes so you can live more in harmony with the critters designed to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Awaken the Sleeping Giant Within You!

Awaken the Sleeping Giant Within You!

Do you feel like you are wandering through your life? Maybe you don’t know what direction to go in next? Are you confused? Unaware or what to do or where you need to go next? Have you ever noticed people walking through a parking lot completely unaware of the oncoming car as they walk down the middle of the aisle?

I work with clients in my practice daily and encourage them to get in tune with their world and especially their body. The lack of awareness you see in someone in the parking lot will also mimic the kind of awareness people have around their body. The work I do in my practice works best when my clients are in tune and know what they want out of life and then I facilitate helping them get to that goal; health, family, career etc.

My clients complete a questionnaire and I ask them; What are your goals? What do you want to achieve? What do you want to look different in your life? We then go to work and help their body move through blocks keeping them from that achievement; physical, emotional and spiritual. They then ask, “what should I expect now that the session is done?” I tell them any change is a good thing.

I ask them to look for things like this:

Change in appetite, change in bowel habits, change in sleep patterns, change in moods, change in relationships, change in body parts, flexibility, changes in breathing patterns, changes in energy levels, what foods are you craving, do you have an decrease in gas and bloating, do you experience more headaches, what smells do you want to smell or avoid, is your stomach gurgling more than normal, who did you blow-up at, who are you more patient with, who are you more angry at, who at your work quit for a new opportunity?

Get the point? The possibilities are endless. Any change is what I need you looking for to increase your awareness and awaken the possibilities inside you. And the more you become aware of how your body, God, the universe is trying to communicate with you the sooner you are on the road to recovery and no longer floundering in the parking lot wandering aimlessly without attention to your path or dangers around you.

I gave you a big list of things to notice because nobody gave me this list when I started my health and wellness journey. I had very talented practitioners all around me that would speak of their “big shifts and changes” yet never really explained to me or understood my complete and total unawareness of my own body. One of my very dear friends said to me recently, “You always seemed like you had a spirit that wanted to know so much in a body without an owner’s manual.” It was a great description. She added, “It’s more fun to communicate with you now because we never have to say a word.”

Test your awareness. Ask another person to do this exercise with you. Look at them for 20 seconds. Then ask them to leave the room and change 5 things; maybe the remove one earring, flip their hair a different way, roll up a sleeve. Then ask them to return and see what you notice in the next 20 seconds. Were you aware?

My clients need to be willing to awaken and notice these kind of changes in order for me to work with them. My observation is that the ones that have awakened their physical body are the ones that make the biggest shifts in their life to achieve their desires. And since I completely understand that not everyone has awareness from the get go, I am sharing a great tool, Awaken Essential Oil. I call it my awareness oil. This oil is to help you become aware of limitless potential. It stimulates right brain creativity, supports the function of the pineal and pituitary glands in balancing the energy centers of the body and helps us identify our true desires and how best to pursue them. It is the first step toward making positive life changes.

I don’t believe any of us set out in life to become unaware. I believe we are so bombarded by stimuli that we actually “check out” meanwhile our bodies are screaming at us until our attention is achieved when a serious health scenario hits. Awaken your sleeping giant and listen to your body guiding you to your fullest potential. To learn more about this oil and its constituents that remove blocks and awaken greater awareness watch this recorded webinar: Awaken Essential Oil Webinar.

What is a Microbiome?

What in the World is a Microbiome?

Your Key to a Strong Immune System

Want to address in your own body the latest in scientific research? Then you should be very interested in what a microbiome means to you. A lot of the information on these has come out in the last several years. In 2012, the Human Microbiome Project served to tell us that our relationship with microbes is much more symbiotic than originally thought.

What is a microbe you ask? Oh, you’ve heard of them; viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungus. All the things that can have a huge impact on your immune system and how you are able to support it. The Project taught scientists that these bugs or critters are actually very helpful to us and in fact outnumber us 10:1 and reproduce about a million times more efficiently than we do.

The discovery of microbiomes has found that we have one for the skin, the gastrointestinal tract (including oral), the eyes, the respiratory system and the urogenital tracts. The microbiome is the inner lining of these locations in the body where the outside world hits the inside world. Let me explain. Imagine the air you breathe. Any number of “things” or microbes could be in that air at a given time. Now imagine that air coming into your body through the nose or mouth and then down into the rest of the respiratory system. Every part of the lining on the inside of your respiratory system that the outside air is now interacting with in the respiratory tract is what we are referring to as the microbiome. That balance between how your internal good critters are able to live in harmony with what the outside air has delivered is your body ecology and you hope for balance.

So what does this mean to you? Well, re-read the different types of microbiomes. If you have chronic or acute illness with the various body systems mentioned above as microbiome categories, there is a good chance that you would benefit from having your microbiome balance evaluated. The good news is that you have the opportunity to support your immune system with this new found scientific research.
