By definition, Intuition is a person’s capacity to obtain or have direct knowledge and/or immediate insight, without observation or reason. It’s the “gut feeling” you get. For the past many generations, society influences have pushed us away from one of the most amazing and helpful tools we naturally hold – our intuition. It is our natural ability to use both instincts (from our connection to the animal kingdom) AND logical reasoning (thank you human brain) to our advantage. By seeking a balance between the intuitive AND the logical sides of our brain, we are able to utilize ALL resources our brain has to offer. Intuition is a wonderful tool to use when looking for the answer to a question and the solution to a problem that our mind cannot solve. Having a strong connection to our own natural intuition provides a whole new level of clarity and understanding to our lives.

Are you experiencing pain down the buttocks, or even the leg and foot; with numbness, tingling, or abnormal sensation in those same areas? It is very common, especially in Downtown Winnipeg, where nearly everyone ‘sits-for-a-living’. Research says ‘flossing’ may not help our teeth, but flossing or dynamically stretching the nervous tissue is another way to prevent, and lessen this back pain. Almost everyone has seen that ‘camel or cat back’ exercise; on all fours, rolling the back upwards, and downwards, we move the nervous tissue associated with sciatic pain. Reaching, with back extension exercises will help strengthen the muscle supports around the spine.

Ginseng does many things to help human health, but many people do not realize that ginseng is good for weight loss. It gives an energy boost and can help fight fatigue. Because of this, it allows for you to be more active. One of the big things that it does in the weight loss battle is by regulating blood sugar. It does this by reducing the amount of carbohydrate that is converted into fat. Also, it is important to point out that ginseng alone will not help lose weight if you engage in poor dietary choices. It is vital that a well-balanced diet is followed and that you are active. Otherwise, like the old English proverb says, “Don’t dig your grave with your own knife and fork.” One of the active ingredients in SlimROAST weight loss coffee from Valentus – The Healthiest Coffee on the Planet!

Your ability to learn is directly related to how clear your brain pathways are between sensory (intake) and execution (performance). Over two‐thirds of your brain is based on sensing or input; one‐third is based on execution. If you have trouble focusing or concentrating, it is simply because the pathways between the sensory and execution network areas are not clear. Integration of the feeling, emotional, or “gut” senses is necessary for even abstract forms of knowledge. You make the greatest use of your capacities when you have free and intelligent access to your feelings and imagination. Brainwave Optimization, a computer-guided relaxation technology, works to balance and harmonize your brain, helping it move beyond stuck patterns into healthy patterns. Once your brain is balanced and harmonized, you can overcome previous challenges; achieve more, laugh more, enjoy life more completely and engage in a healthier social life with self‐awareness and confidence.

Are you suffering from heel pain? Whether there was one event that caused it, or the pain has come on over time, there are many factors that could contribute to your discomfort. Being physically active or sedentary can cause Achilles Tendinitis. Running, jumping, and landing, can all put an excess of stress on our Achilles tendon. As we land on our feet, there is an eccentric force placed on the tendon. After repetitive movements, this can cause microtearing within the tendon and inflammation will lead to pain. Even if we aren’t active, our calves can tighten up, and without regular stretching, just everyday walking can put stress on our tendons. Ice will help calm down the pain, but you should begin some mild stretching of your calves. Other treatment options include rest, massage, or even adding a heel lift in your shoe to decrease the amount of force on the Achilles tendon.
