Have You Tried Walking Meditation?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

“Walking Meditation” creates an additional purpose so that walking is more than just exercise. Walking meditation bridges the gap between physical activity and mental stillness. It syncs each step with your breath, bringing awareness to the sensation of movement, and the touch of your feet on the ground.

How to Practice Walking Meditation

  1. Find a Suitable Location: A quiet park, beach, or even a secluded path in your backyard can work.
  2. Start with Intention: Begin by standing still, taking a few deep breaths, and setting your intention for the walk.
  3. Sync with Your Breath: With each step, inhale and exhale. For instance, take three steps while inhaling and three while exhaling.
  4. Stay Present: Focus on the sensation of your feet lifting off, moving through the air, and making contact with the ground.
  5. Mindful Observation: Observe your surroundings—the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the breeze on your face.

Benefits of Walking Meditation

  • Enhances mindfulness and concentration.
  • Offers physical benefits of walking, like improved circulation and cardiovascular health.
  • Helps in grounding and connecting with nature.
  • Acts as a refreshing break from the routine of seated meditation

Relief for troubled skin

This morning, I was watching the news and saw a commercial for Dupixent for eczema and sin rash. Most of the people in the commercial were kids, aged 12 or younger. I understand when your kids are suffering, you ache for them to feel better — often medication like Dupixent is prescribed.

For myself, I found an alternative doe my eczema with a few simple changes to products tI use everyday with no new hit to my budget.

These two products — Melapower Detergent and Renew Lotio — from the online Wellness shopping club where I shop monthly have made a difference for me and I no longer use Dupixent. My eczema has been alleviated with this laundry detergent and this skin lotion. Neither contains formaldehyde, parabens, chlorine bleach or other chemicals..I do think it’s important to get chemicals out of your home. What we breathe and what we apply to our skin is important. I’ve personally seen the difference.

It’s that time of year

Make sure you are building up your immune system and using products that don’t damage your lungs or give you other underlying conditions.

J like to use product that I feel are safe for me my home and my family.

These are a few favorite back-to-school essentials I recommend:

• Sol-U-Guard Botanical Wipes — This product kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on hard, nonporous surfaces. It replaces the more toxic Chlorox and Lysol brand wipes.

• Sol-U-Mel — Sol-U-Mel removes stains from items like Sharpie markers, juices, chocolate and wine. It’s great for cleaning white boards.

Both products are non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• Activate-C Immune Complex — Similar to Airborne and other Vitamin C powders but takes it a step further with 1200mg of Vitamin C! Most of the other brands show they contain only 1000mg. Activate-C also comes in orange and reminds me of my childhood favorite — Tang. This Activate Immune Complex boosts your body’s immune system naturally as well.

• Vitamin D3 — This vitamin supports a healthy immune system as well as bone health and overall mood.

• Luminex — A natural alternative, Luminex promotes emotional health, a balanced mood, and general well being..

• Mela-Out — containing magnesium, Mela-Out reduces stress, increases calmness and can help you sleep better.

I love that the products I buy from my Wellness store are made in the USA and shipped straight to my door in two to three days.

Love it!

THREE MYTHS ABOUT SOY

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Myth #1: Soy Causes Cancer. Because soy isaflavones have a similar chemical structure to human estrogen, people battling hormone-related cancers were encouraged to avoid soy. But over 2000 peer reviewed studies have confirmed that soy can actually reduce the side effects of cancer and reduce the likelihood of it returning.

Myth #2: Soy Inhibits Thyroid Function. In the past, research suggested soy consumption could have a negative effect on thyroid function. However, in those studies, what was more commonly identified was the deficiency in iodine levels combined with the soy intake.
In summary, more iodine (and not less soy) is what is needed to maintain thyroid function.

Myth #3: Soy Does Not Help With Heart Health. In 2017, the FDA reversed their position on soy and heart health, thereby declaring that soy did not help with heart health. In fact, an analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association concluded that soy is heart-healthy and that it lowers LDL “bad” cholesterol that can increase the risk for heart disease.

Being Frugal

Who else here is frugal?

I sure am! I cut open bottles to get every last drop.

This lotion took me a year to use up because I bought two—one for upstairs and one for downstairs. It’s great for eczema and rosacea, but I just love that it keeps my hands soft even after washing, and it kills germs with just one application.

This is worth sharing

For twelve years I was selling products that I loved and loved seeing others feeling the same. It was party plan days (100 years ago) and those social times themselves were fun!

Then there was a day that selling to meet quotas became a pressure for me–and starting over at zero income at the beginning of the month was pressure to me. When I started home care for my parents, the work at home behind those successful years was too much pressure for me. So I walked away.

After a a few years, I found a line of safer for you, less expensive, better-performing products that I loved and got really excited when I learned I did not have to sell them to make money. That fit my lifestyle!! (anything involving just talking fits my lifestyle.)

I discovered that this online Wellness company shared its revenue with those who referred shoppers to the Shopping Club instead of using paid advertising. That was the reason they could use natural, better working ingredients and sell their products for such reasonable prices. No paid advertising saves billions! For twenty years, I have gotten a check every single month from my referrals. Why does it work? People love the products and 96% of the customers I refer order the next month.

Would you really enjoy a check you could depend on every month that did not require selling products? It’s an income stream that doesn’t interfere with your main business/priorities – it fits in between very nicely.
People are needing solutions these days.

There’s nothing better

than a great cup of organic black coffee early in the morning.

Nothing added to this one—black Sweet Cherry Vanilla. Rich taste. Delicious.

Starting the day off right!
