Organic – To Be or Not to Be?

StrawberriesWe can all agree about the danger posed to our health from eating foods laced with chemicals.  However, organic foods tend to be more expensive than their carcinogen counterparts.  In fact, depending on where you live, you would need to practically get a second job just to eat like you should.  So, the question becomes, “If I can’t eat everything organic, what needs to be organic versus foods that are okay otherwise?

The decision to buy organic or not is based on foods that have typically been found to be highly contaminated.  In general, the following list of foods represent those which are highly contaminated.  Therefore, these items should be organic.  Continue reading

Does a Clearing help with pain relief?

Does a Clearing help with pain relief from an injury?

Yes, pain is caused by over excitement of the pain receptors at the point of the injury.  The message travels through the nerves and up to the brain.  It’s your body’s way of saying, “Hey!  Pay attention to this!”  The body’s natural response to pain is to tense up.  Over a period of time, this can cause a tension pattern that perpetuates the cycle.

The Clearing session helps to relax the built-up tension pattern.  When the body is in a state of comfort, it can relax.  When the tissues around an injury site relax after a sustained period of time having been tensed, proper blood flow gets restored to that area.  This creates the condition necessary for the body to be able to heal itself.  The residual effect is a reduction in pain.  The more comfort the body is in, the better it feels.
