What an awesome opportunity it was to study with Christina Pirello at her School of Natural Cooking ! Thanks so much Christina and Robert!

Click on this video above – I made this video myself!

I would be thrilled for you to join me in my Inner Circle!

Click here for the details!

Here is my first video when it happened – ouch!

Here are the things that I did:

Here are therapies and practices I immediately employed:

–Ice for 20 minutes every hour

–Direct Application of Young Living Essential Oils
These are the main oils that I used
interchangeably and ongoing:
Balsam fir
Lemongrass
Trauma Life
Pan Away
Peppermint
Marjoram
Frankincense
Palo Santo

–Healing Touch
I did this on myself – mostly “Hands in Motion” and pulling
the congested energy and pain away from the shoulder in the
energy field.

I also worked on the physical body above and below the area
deep in the tissues and down the arm intuitively following
the meridians to keep the energy pathways open so that the
energy /chi could continue to flow to the area of need.

–Sound
I did toning into my shoulder. In my healing practice I used
toning (with my own voice) to open blocked areas of energy or
to facilitate the delivery of energy – it is an amazing amplifier
of energy and an incredible vibrational healing force.
I just turned my head to the side and took my right hand to create
a vessel for the sound and toned into my problem shoulder.

The only hard part about doing this is that my dog Prin would go
crazy.

–Light
We have this really cool device that delivers moonlight.
Moonlight is a very relaxing light force. It is also effective
at eliminating pathogenic organisms along nerve pathways.

–Exercise
I knew movement was important and learned that moving up to
the edge of the pain – but not into the pain during the inflammation
process was important. Leaning forward and letting my arm dangle
and swing on its own – this was very difficult at first.
My Physical Therapist sister-in-law guided me in this.

–Supplements
Sulfurzynme from Young Living – the natural anti-inflammatory
MSM product with wolfberries
Fish oils
Ningxia Red juice
I will tell you the first two nights the pain was so severe I did take
Advil 200 mg.
I am waiting for my order to get BLM from Young Living!

–Acupuncture
My acupuncturist Wayne confirmed for me something that had
me suspicious. I thought that possibly my intestinal system
was a contributing factor here and sure enough the exact problem area
was on the stomach and small intestine meridian.
Wayne worked with me addressing the pain but also balancing
the other points – he does Five Element Acupuncture (not classical).
This also made sense to me to help me understand the incredible nausea
that I had with this.

–Electro-Stim
I had a wonderful session with Mei Ming Racier – a pain specialist
who has a great Energy Medicine electro-stim machine that she uses
with the Young Living Oils (she just presented this up in NYC at the
Urban Zen Center for Holistic Studies owned by famous designer Donna Karan).
This was incredibly helpful and I’m hoping to get back to her for at least
one more session.

–Alkalinizing Foods
Inflammation always involves acidity……..so eating veggies and fruit
were important – and taking Cal-Mag too (calcium/magnesium which helps
to alkalinize)

–Love
I believe the greatest healing force that exists is love. To know others
care and contribute to your healing from their caring is a very powerful thing.

I wrote about much more of this in my newsletter

Here is where I am in under two weeks:

If you get burned from sun or fun, lavender oil is a great “have-on-hand” home remedy (until you get medical attention, should you need it).

In the 18th century, chemist Gattefosse, discovered the healing properties of lavender when he inadvertently put his burned hand in a basin. He thought the basin was water but it was lavender oil. The burn healed quickly without scarring. Thus entered the dawn of present day French aromatherapy.

Today, use several drops of lavender on and around the affected area immediately after a burn. It can greatly reduce symptoms, pain and scarring. It is imperative to use a therapeutic, not perfume-grade oil.  Young Living has two wonderful lavender oils. I prefer the St. Maries lavender. It is believed to have a higher level of healing properties than even the lavender from France. It is grown in pristine mountains of St. Maries, Idaho.

Lava Derm Cooling Mist is a must have at the beach. It helps combat that hot and burned feeling from the sun. It contains lavender and aloe vera.

You can order the highest quality therapeutic oil from Young Living.  See your Young Living distributor or go to: http://tinyurl.com/aenfp.

Honey has been used for its healing properties for more than four thousand years. In ancient Egypt, more than 500 healing formulas included honey.  Greeks used honey to cure skin conditions.

In a recent issue of SAGE Publications’ International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, a review article reports that honey is effective as a wound dressing and is beneficial in the following ways:

–Honey’s antibacterial quality rapidly clears existing infection and protects wounds from additional infection

–Honey debrides wounds and removes malodor

–Honey’s anti-inflammatory activity reduces edema and minimizes scarring

–Honey stimulates growth of granulation and epithelial tissues to speed healing

The article “The Evidence Supporting the Use of Honey as a Wound Dressing” can be found on The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds’ website at http://tinyurl.com/32a6qb.

There are still many skeptics out there that think that the mind-body relationship and mind-body medicine is quackery.

The next time you come across one of these people give them this little exercise to do.  They will have a “felt experience” of how the mind can influence the body.

Try this for yourself too!

1. While sitting, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, picture in your mind the number “6″ and in the air draw it with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction!!!
