Fear of Falls Causes Unsafe Behavior
When someone is fearful of falling, they start to avoid everyday activities by staying at home and doing less. This lack of activity leads to loss of strength, reduced muscle tone, and loss of coordination and balance. This physical deterioration increases the risk of falling and if a fall does occur, it further heightens the fear. Turn your fear of falling into positive actions; remain active, exercise regularly, use assistive devices such as walkers or grab bars and wear sensible shoes. Consider joining a group session designed especially to teach balance exercises for fall prevention.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help
The ancient art of hypnosis is a powerful way to connect to the subconscious mind and work on the subconscious programming. Since we usually operate 95% of the day based on our subconscious programming and only 5% of the day from the conscious mind, hypnosis is in my opinion the most effective way to correct any negative subconscious programming. The healing and resolution of trauma is also highly increased by combining the NES bioenergy treatment with hypnosis to access and correct old limiting beliefs and release past negative events.
Aronia Berries are Powerful Antioxidants
Today more than ever, a healthy immune system is important. According to Healthline, Aronia berries may strengthen the immune system and even counteract some infections. Aronia –grown in BC – contains powerful antioxidants that remove harmful free oxygen radicals from cells. In the spectrum of nutrition, berries rank near the top, and among berries, none are more nutritious than the Aronia berry. Research shows that in diabetics, Aronia berry juice, when taken regularly, reduced blood glucose. Aronia extracts have also reduced inflammation and improved immunity. And in hard-to-treat cancers, combining Aronia with chemotherapy improved the effectiveness of conventional drugs.
Understanding Yoga Therapy
In the unfolding of the Human experience, we are in a constant interplay of cause and effect, of outer events and our reactions to them. This unfolding is complex and unique to each one of us. Throughout our lives we may bear injuries and/or illness (short, long term or chronic,) and have an ongoing flow of experiences to some of which we may have challenging emotions. Whether you’re seeking relief from struggles in the physical body, in difficult thoughts and emotions, or (often) both, a Yoga Therapist works with you to create an individualized practice that empowers you to support yourself through recovery, in creating greater ease and/or in establishing meaningful transformation.
For a Cleaner, Healthier Home
The Earth uses water to cleanse itself of surface dirt, airborne particulates, allergen, dust and man‐made contaminants. It washes the air and cleanses the environment in which we live and breathe. It’s only natural. This works great for outside, but what about inside your home? The Rainbow Cleaning System cleans your home the most natural way possible, using The Power of Water®. It not only cleans your home… it creates a healthier living space. So, how does it work? Moving air lifts dust, dirt and debris and whisks it into the Rainbow’s water basin. Dirt and dust are trapped in a swirling water bath. Fresh, water-washed air is returned to your home.
Feeling the Presence of Music
Reaching for the dial on the radio, which channel/station will you choose? Oldies? Death metal? Rap? Classical? Notice that when all is going well, we enjoy having music on. Listening to music that makes us feel good is like being with a good friend. The music is a presence and it is vibrant. It vibrates around us and inside us, and surrounds us like an embrace. Music also FILLS us with vibrations. The vibrations travel along nerve pathways, activating, trailblazing and filling cavities with good vibrations. We feel full on the inside and hugged from the outside – a complete embrace.
Make Self-Care a Priority
Stress is a natural part of everyday life. But are you aware that stress is among the number one cause for all kinds of health concerns including sleep deprivation, changes in appetite, illness, anxiety, & depression? One of the greatest ways to combat these stress symptoms is to implement a self-care plan that is done regularly in your life. Self-care strategies are doing activities that you enjoy on a regular basis. Like when a flight attendant does the safety brief and asks you to put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others, it is important to ensure your own health and wellness is a priority.
