Positive News

If you are sick of turning on the news and seeing more reports about murdered children, shootings, political corruption, celebrity scandals, and overall depressing stuff, then I have GOOD news for you! haha i sound like a spokesperson. anyways, I found this awesome site called HappyNews This site shares only good news articles and is a great way to start the day. Also, another good news site is GoodNewsNetwork which has a cool feature, it shows you good news from this day in history. so just a short post to "share the news" hahaha. Have a peak and hope you enjoy!

Hydrotherapy, Reiki, and Eastern Wellness

A new set of classes has begun again. My first Weekend class was reiki and i am now certified in level 1 reiki. The class was life changing really. I learned a lot in that class, as well as learning about myself. I have been doing reiki all my life, i just never knew what it was! I am definitely incorporating it into my massage routine now. My other weekend classes will be deep tissue and reflexology. But my every day classes are hydrotherapy and eastern wellness. I absolutely love these classes. I feel so in my element and am learning a lot of valuable information. I am a long time sufferer of migraines and tension headaches, i now know that an ice pack on the head and soaking your feet in warm water draws the blood away from the head and eases the pain. not much works for my migraines but this does. I also took a test in eastern wellness to find out my element (out of wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and I am fire. Oddly enough my test results showed i was only one point higher in fire than water. And i am a fire/water zodiac, leo/cancer. That was just interesting to me. Overall, i am loving this semester, despite some rather toxic personalities in them. but they are easy to ignore!

My blog stats show that there are still people reading what i post so i hope whoever you are its helping you, entertaining you, keeping you from dieing of bordeom, whatever lol. If you are interested in learning more about natural remedies, rather than taking a pill for every little ache or sniffle, here are a few good sites:
Home Remedies For You
Herbal Home Remedies

Also you may want to learn a bit about hydrotherapy as it is basically healing with water. Thats the thing i used to help with my migraines. The romans, greeks, egyptians, and so on all used hydrotherapy to heal a lot of things. just do a little research and see what you can find. Also if you have a smart phone, like an android (guilty!) there are a lot of interesting apps out there for those of us who want a quick go to guide for simple alternative cures or treatments. just search around for natural remedies, or herbal remedies, or natural medicine, etc.. I have a few good ones. there really is an app for just about everything. of course, keep in mind that western medicine is not all bad, and please do not refuse to see a doctor when you break your leg, or need to have your appendix removed because some herb is said to help. Basically, just use common sense. If you have a sore throat drink some honey and lemon tea. If you have a throat that is swelling to the point you cant breathe, go to the ER!
