When your body is balanced you can poo easily …

The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing

When it comes to Poo, Qi Gong will come to the rescue!

Why it is balancing and balanced bodies can poo easily …

The ultimate in Self Help


Pronounced “Chee Gong” often spelled Qi Gong. 
Chi Gong is an art (a skill) of strengthening health, using acquired knowledge from 3,000 years of study. This gem has come to us from the legacy of Chinese medicine.  It is an effective means of medical treatment as well as health protection.  It plays an active role in preventing and treating diseases, protecting and strengthening health, and prolonging life.
Chi Gong practice, promotes the flow of internal chi, maintaining a balance between yin and yang, it dredges the energy channels regulating chi and blood in the body.  All this is accomplished with simple exercises combining movement with breath and meditation.  Chi Gong is easy to learn and can be practiced in a class or in the privacy of your home.
Adapt the Chinese mind set get evolved with you healing and take responsibility for your self and feel better.

This is my favourite practice
So gentle you don’t even realize the power!
Qi Gong is my favorite energy technique and I am so honoured to be asked to teach at the Lotus Centre. You can make a quantum leap to health, wealth and success using easily learned qigong exercises that will turn you into a positive qi magnet for attracting and creating your awesome reality. You can cultivate your qi and thus increase and maintain yourself in a very positive level of vibration. No way you say well, come and see, your body has the knowledge.  All I am going to teach you is how to get out of your own way. Ya, really it’s that easy, just stop blocking your own innate body knowledge. You can connect with the Universal Qi, attract it and use it to create an awesome life.
Qi Cultivation
Qi cultivation is creating balance, abundance and flow of Qi. It also involves developing your healing potential, and strengthening the flow of the Qi force throughout your being so that it flows to and through you at the highest possible level of positive vibration. Qigong uses mind power and internal healing exercises for creating an abundance of Qi, while at the same time cultivating your life force and channeling it throughout your body. By strengthening Qi within your body, via qigong, you can use your heightened qi force for healing yourself and increasing your positive vibrational level.
Your qi, your positive vibration, energy flow nourishes your human spirit and gives you the ability to concentrate. It is the basis of your creativity, and it is the healing energy of your body. Qi is the force of the universe that moves in invisible currents and healing pathways through all matter in the universe. Qi connects everything. The Universal Qi force creates mountains, governs the ocean currents, flow of rivers, and weather patterns. Qi force gives trees their structure and their diversity in branching toward the sky. The movement of qi can be seen in all molecules, elements, the landscape, and within your body this life force circulates through qi energy channels called vessels and meridians.
Qi Cultivation, Positive Vibration and The Law of Attraction
There are two laws that you need to understand and use if you want and desire awesome health, an awesome life and an awesome reality. First, The Law of Vibration – You are a being of vibration and have the ability to change your vibration. Second, The Law of Attraction – Like vibrations attract like things. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU ATTRACT WHATEVER YOU ARE IN HARMONY WITH?
Thus, Positive Vibrations attract Positive Things and Positive Energy attracts Health, Wealth and Success. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ALTER YOUR VIBRATION TO A HIGHER, MORE POSITIVE, STATE. You can make the decision to change your reality and in doing so your life is never going to the same again!
You can turn your current level of reality into an AWESOME LEVEL OF REALITY by using “
Multiple Ways
to Achieve and Maintain a Healthy, Wealthy, and Successful Vibrational Level.” Several of these methods involve Mind Power and Qigong (exercises with body movement, coordinated breathing, visualization and affirmation) that can create, maintain and release positive energy within you.
THE MIND IS MOVEMENT, THE BODY IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THAT MOVEMENT, THE BODY IS THE INSTRUMENT OF THE MIND, WHEN YOU’RE VIBRATION CHANGES YOU WILL CHANGE WHAT YOU ATTRACT.
It’s just that simple! Come and enjoy this ancient practice. It must be something to it, it’s been around for 5,000 years and counting.
I’ll be teaching at the Lotus Centre starting in January 2011 on Tuesday mornings @ . I would love to see everyone come out and experience this gem of a practice.  
For anyone outside of the London, On area, I encourage you to look in your local area to find a teacher.

Candida can change your Pooing

I know it’s close to the Holiday’s, it's for your own good that you should know that Candida overgrowth begins in the colon.  The Holidays be a "delusional" excuse to start a downward spiral in your health! Major risk foods are sugar and some grains. Why do you think a lot of people get the flu after the holidays?  Big warm hug if I’m bursting your bubble! This is Holiday tough love talk.

“Overtime, as the fungal yeast (candida) multiplies it begins to migrate through the digestive tract, moving up into the small intestine, then the stomach (bloating, indigestion), up the esophagus and into the mouth. If it becomes strongly entrenched there and many times you can see a white film on your tongue and inside your cheeks.” Creative Health Institute

“Most people are aware of the most common manifestations of candida as yeast infection, jock itch, thrush, athlete’s foot and ringworm. But what is not commonly known are all the other seemingly unrelated symptoms that are caused by candida, like chronic fatigue, food allergies, digestive problems, sexual dysfunction, constipation, headaches and the list goes on and on.” Creative Health Institute

Take this Candida test from a great blog from a great institution called Creative Health Institute they are a raw food centre dedicated to deep body cleansing.  http://www.creativehealthinstitute.com/blog/how-to-test-yourself-for-candida/

If you’re Candida tests indicates an issue for you?  We need to talk! I can consult over the phone or skype or in person if you live in London, On area.

Make this Holiday about loving others and not so much about risking your health.  Love is better food any way!

When Eating Controls You!

 
A lifestyle change can be brutally hard. Right? Expecially during the holidays, with the family is visiting and pushing your buttons. Well when eating is off the charts your body has to do double time to catch up and defend it self.  So pooing becomes a second priority.

"Your body revolts. And the will power of your conscious mind is just not enough to stand up to your body's cravings.
We may have evolved into the only rational animal on the planet. But when it comes to food, body defeats mind in almost every battle. " Kelly Howell

We have help available for you check out our support group. Available in London, Ontario as a live group or online in a chat group.

A’la Cheap poo solution


My ancestors are smarter then I thought

In my digestive/colonic practice I see lots of constipation, irritable bowel clients known as IBS and an array of bowl troubles. Many have stories of heading to their gastroenterologist with symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, gas and bloating. Typical treatment consists of drugs. The drugs prescribed, however, have side effects that are worse than the condition itself and only offer temporary relief because they do not address the problem.

Often a change in diet is suggested, specifically more fruits, vegetables and high-fiber foods. Sometimes the fruits and vegetables cause gas and crazy pain and an increase in fiber can in some cased causes constipation. Wow, why would that happen!

You need to look at the big picture, it is important to know and understand the environment in your gut and figure out what could be causing a disruption in normal movement and overall health of your bowel.
There are anywhere from 300-500 different species of bacteria that live in your colon. These bacteria help develop our immune system in our intestines and they are essential for us to process vitamins and minerals plus protect us against colonization of pathogens. You want robust and healthy colonization of bacteria in your bowel and you can do this with probiotics.

Probiotics are live micro-organisms that provide a healthy environment in your gut and can help to neutralize toxic compounds. How do you do this? The first step is to add fermented foods and/or a probiotic supplement to your daily regimen and you should notice a huge difference in how you feel and your general health.

While probiotic supplements are good but can be expensive, traditional cultures wove fermented foods into there diet. Naturally fermented, "live" foods have been around since the beginning of time. They include fermented vegetables like sauerkraut or kimchee, and milk products like yogurt, cheese, buttermilk, kefir the issue with the dairy solution is the protein in milk is Casein. Casein has proven to be carcinogenic or cancer causing. (read “The China Study”), other traditional forms are fermented soy protein like miso, tempeh and tofu.  A modern issue with soy is it is highly modified rendering it hard on the body. Naturally fermented, unpasturized beers are some of the most complete probiotics available which should make your beer-lover in the family a happy camper. Let’s face it, alcohol no mater what your friends will tell you, is fun, but not considered a health food.

Get real and learn to like naturally fermented (from the health food store) sauerkraut because it provides one of the widest varieties of beneficial bacteria that are known to protect against everything from bowel problems to cancer. If your adventurous or Polish all you need is a little salt, cabbage and a crock pot and a plate to place on top to make it at home. Recipe

I got mine checked and maybe you should too!!

My personal experience and the experience of my clients support this issue.  In my personal life, I am easy to go into constipation even though I eat a really healthy balanced plant based diet. I exercise and think positive and live a non stressed lifestyle. So my thyroid has been out of whack for some time now.  Not that I am not medicated for thyroid balance, but some how I am still crazy out of balance. So I finally got a better picture after seeing yet another doctor to balance my thyroid.  I’ll let you know how I do with this medication change.   
Really read this stuff: “Severe or long-term constipation is frequently associated with hypothyroidism, while diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with hyperthyroidism.”  Wow, good to know, really!!
If this sounds like you, you should ask your doctor to check your thyroid right now.  Your problem might be part of a medical issue like mine.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism (An under active thyroid)
fatigue, exhaustion
feeling run down and sluggish
depression
difficulty concentrating, brain fog
unexplained or excessive weight gain
dry, coarse and/or itchy skin
dry, coarse and/or thinning hair
feeling cold, especially in the extremities
constipation
muscle cramps
increased menstrual flow
more frequent periods
infertility/miscarriage

Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism (An over active thyroid)
nervousness
irritability
increased perspiration
thinning of your skin
fine brittle hair
muscular weakness especially involving the upper arms and thighs
shaky hands
panic disorder
insomnia
racing heart
more frequent bowel movements
weight loss despite a good appetite
lighter flow, less frequent menstrual periods

Love to answer your poo questions …
Hope you know me by now; I love to talk about poo!!

Our ancesters did it to poo and we should do it too!

Squatting
Who would have thought I would recommend
Squatting over sitting on the toilet

A toddler in diapers squats instinctively to use his or her bowels. How easy it is for them to squat down, feet flat on the floor, in absolute comfort!
So what happens after that? We teach them to sit on a potty. If you are naïve to this topic, don’t worry, so was I.  After all, isn’t that how everyone goes “poo” on the toilet, and besides we have to teach our children to be civilized, acceptable ways of the world? Right!
Well not really! If you want to have a good functioning bowel our civilized ways are apparently not good for your health.  It’s only been one (for some) or two generations that have grown up with the toilet in their lives.  Squatting is a time tested method of evacuation and has served our ancestors for centuries.  Funny how, now in our society we have the highest occurrences of bowel disorders and we are a society of non squatters.  Any pharmacist will attest that laxatives are one of the largest selling over the counter medication today. 
I now add squatting to list of life style changes when counseling clients for bowel care issues. Most of my clients are not use to the squat position, so I suggest a stool in front of the toilet as a start to the correct position.  I have found this simple change to be very powerful.

Here are some personal accounts:    “A mother began squatting (because of hemorrhoids and bladder control difficulties) and was copied by her eight-year-old daughter who was fascinated by her Mom’s new habits! As well as her own problems improving significantly, her daughter’s bed-wetting episodes decreased remarkably.   On occasions, her daughter would wet the bed twice each night, three nights consecutively was not unusual. After squatting for bowel movements for two weeks, she wet the bed only once during the following three weeks and has had dry nights ever since. “
“Andrew was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. As a result of this condition, within a twelve-month period he underwent four separate surgical procedures, with general anesthetic. Neither surgery nor medication helped Andrew, and severe constipation was an ongoing symptom. After his mother read of the benefits of squatting for defecation, she encouraged Andrew to squat on the toilet seat. She noticed an improvement within two days! Two weeks later the surgeon was astonished at how the inflammation had subsided. “

Squatting for defecation is not something to try only as a last-ditch option for an existing problem. It is an option we can elect to practice to assist with inner cleanliness and to prevent or delay many bowel and bladder problems which are often regarded as age-related.
Also consider our public toilet practices as an issue to be examined.  When away from home, most people do not sit on toilet seats. For reasons of hygiene they hover above the seat. This is not squatting and results in retention of urine, which is conducive to bladder infections and cystitis.  We may want try squatting on our public toilets also….

In conclusion, the porcelain throne has caused enormous amounts of needless suffering, and the annual waste of billions of dollars in health-care costs. Clearly, the time has come to reacquaint with our natural habits.

Good Health - Have you pooed today?

How could the colon pollute the body?  Doesn’t the poo just stay in the colon till it is pooed out?
Well, the colon’s job is to constantly pull water out of the colon and that water is absorbed back into to organs and is recirculated through the body. So in plain every day language you are redrinking dirty water. Take a look at this drawing of the fetus (link below), did you know that all the organs bud off the gut. So if you are not clean in your colon you are dirty all over.  
Wow, no wonder I have a headache and can’t think straight! It’s all about poo, isn’t it?
