Energy-boosting Product Review: Dr. Andrew Weil’s Self-Healing with sound & music

When I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer last year I scurried about to find new tools for my self-help toolbox. Yes I needed more energy. The stress of the “adventure,” plus the radiation treatment, was exhausting. But I was also looking for somethingS to change my insides – my mental, emotional, spiritual and molecular makeup.

Dr. Andrew Weil & Kimba Arem’s self-help Cd offered to “revitalize your body & mind with proven sound healing tools.” Right on.

Self-Healing with sound & music is a two-disc package. Disc One explains the science behind the sounds. Chapters include: “How sound affects our physical and emotional health,” “The Principle of Entrainment*,” “Vocalizing Vowel Sounds for Self-Healing” and “Interacting with the Chakras through Sound.” Fascinating.

Disc Two is the sound and music – about one hour of bliss. The track names are appropriate: “Water Way,” “Spinal Ebb,” “Peace Journey,” “Angels of the Deep,” etc. This disc is now a part of my nightly Continue reading

Annual Physical: HUGE opportunity to uncover why you feel so tired.

Do you feeTired all the time? Schedule time to find out why.l tired all the time? If so, now is the time to schedule that annual physical. Most health insurance plans cover the cost of this exam.  Too bad most of us walk into this appointment with less preparation than we’d put into a Baskin & Robbins outing! Is this because it is free? Partly. The big reason is a characteristic typically expressed by chronically fatigued women and men. We (cough, cough) tend to not take care of ourselves or take notice of our “selves.” We take great care of our significant others, work and community obligations BUT when it comes to self-care … we flat line.

I’m not putting anyone down. Look to your right or left – that’s me in the trenches next to you!

Next Thursday, March 11th, is a very important doctor’s appointment. Nine days out. Today I started filling out the Fatigue Be Gone “Daily Food & Activity Log.”  This log is designed to help uncover your fatigue causes and symptoms, patterns and blocks.

Finish what you start. A taxing weekend is part of your recovery from fatigue.

One symptom of Adrenal Fatigue is that we sufferers are easily overwhelmed by everyday tasks. We operate in an exhausting world of “brain fog,” hyper-sensitivity and poor short term memory. It is easy for us to lose track of bank balances, anniversaries, personal commitments and to feel constantly “behind,” frustrated and angry.

Then, add in an unwanted seasonal project like … tax preparation … and in comes the rage, insomnia, anxiety and extreme a.m., can’t-get-out-of-bed, fatigue.

Have you seen that stop smoking commercial about how “quitting smoking sucks. “product name” makes it suck less.” I encourage to follow my lead and have one sucky tax preparation weekend then to put of off (but never out of mind) and drag it through weeks of evenings. That’s what I did last year and the year before and the year before.

This time I will gather everything I need in one room. (and avoid the Zig Zag Syndrome. See below.) I will close the door – light the scented candle – have all my favorite music and pets near at hand and FINISH what I started three weeks ago. My husband can take over breakfast, lunch and dinner duty (as I did for him last weekend and the weekend before and …) Did you know that most people stricken by Adrenal Fatigue tend to be “Type As” who have a difficult time asking for help? True.

What’s in a serving?

I keep heclip-art-question-mark1aring how we should be eating four to five servings of fruit & vegetables daily BUT I honestly haven’t known exactly what constitutes a “serving.” Do you know what I mean?

A new friend who is a RD (Registered Dietician) helped clear this up and I’d like to pass it on to you!

One serving = 1 cup and, generally speaking 1 piece of fruit = one serving  i.e. 1 apple * 1 pear * 1 banana

When it comes to veggies and smaller fruit …
