Healing Begins with Balance
BALANCE BEGINS WITH WATER
Sometimes I just get so busy. I wonder how to keep up. With everything happening in our world today, being busy, busier, busiest is a coping mechanism.
When I feel stressed or overinvolved, I come to a stop for a moment and remind myself that my balance begins with water.
Over half of our body weight is water.
Water is included in all the chemical activities that our body generates, whether we’re awake or asleep. Because water plays a vital role in everything we do, even minor dehydration affects our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.
Keeping hydrated is crucial to your balance and grounding.
We lose water when we breathe, sweat, urinate, eat and digest food, walk around the block, sleep. This is a continual process.
The #1 energy drink on the planet: water. You can supplement your need for water with fruits, vegetables, and other beverages like coffee, tea, and juice.
Water flushes out waste and toxins. It prevents constipation. Water optimizes kidney function, preventing kidney stones.
Water holds the balance between air and fire. Its energy is conscious.
Do you want to keep your energy level up and prevent fatigue?
Double your water consumption for two weeks. If you don’t experience a distinct improvement in your energy level and overall feeling of wellness, make an appointment with a well-trained healthcare professional.
The person who might help you the best at this time is someone who will see you as a whole person and an individual. A person who can look at the big picture for you is a good choice. You might have a functional medicine doctor in your area.
Are you thinking of going on a diet? Try this: When you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first.
Are you interested in maintaining your youth? There are several things you can do today along with your exercise: Drink water. Drink more water.
Water is a good health promotion tool.
When you get serious about your water and your health, you are probably going to think about where your water comes from.
It may be time for a good water filter. I have an under-the sink water filter which I use to clean the water I drink, the water I use to wash fresh veggies and fruits, the water I give to my pets, and the water I use to nourish my houseplants.
Your skin is your largest organ eliminating toxins throughout the day.
Bathing and showering are balancing and relaxing activities which can be an essential part of your spiritual and physical grounding program.
Bathing will get rid of heavy metals while getting rid of heavy thoughts.
Use water to unwind when you soak away toxins in a salts bath. Set aside at least 15 minutes to relax in warm water to which you’ve added salts, herbs, essential oils. There are many options here for your enjoyment.
At the end of your soak, shower off with fresh water and dry your body with a clean towel.
Follow this with a dry brushing exercise. Use a natural-bristle brush to softly brush your body, beginning with your feet and working your way up your head.
As you add new balancing health habits, include regular reflexology and Reiki therapy sessions. Homeostasis is easier with regular balancing habits.
Finally, balance is a physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual experience.
Sometimes, achieving balance for your health requires releasing habits which do not promote balanced healing.
Achieving balance also calls for us to rebuild parts of your lifestyle and your self.
Goal setting is a basic part of the process.
Finally, as you achieve balance, you may find that you are losing a few people in your life. Some new ones may join you.
These things may happen as you achieve a balanced healing state.
It’s amazing what can happen when you begin to drink water!

Your Crown Chakra
When you connect with your spiritual center – your Divinity – you activate your crown chakra. Likewise, when you feel a connection to the Divine, your crown chakra is open.
That’s what it’s all about.
I believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. As such, I feel we spend time and energy throughout our lives longing for a return to the Divine.
This is where we remember who we are.
The crown chakra is linked to your endocrine system, an important thing to know
because a balanced endocrine system supports your chakra system.
When you are connected with your crown chakra, you should experience an ease
and flow in your daily life.
Are you trying to deepen your connection to the divine through your crown chakra?
A good thing to do is to construct an altar.
Begin with a vessel of clear water to represent mercy and healing energy.
You may want to select a goddess to teach you. When I first began my search,
Kwan Yin introduced herself to me. Kwan Yin has served me well. I love her
story. I love her energy.
You may want to select herbs for your altar. You may already have an
attachment to some specific herbs. If not, try to find some herbs that will support
your capacity to grow, align you to the energies you seek.
When you feel motivated, add 1 or 2 crown chakra gemstones. Again, you may
already be using amethyst or selenite or some other gemstone. It’s nice to
already have items for your altar which you know and understand. I found
Herkimer diamonds before I really understood their connection to any chakra.
As time passes, you’ll find essential oils, crystals, and yoga postures to help you
connect with your crown chakra. They wait for you along your path.
Crown chakra meditations are important. I’ll post one on my next blog post.
Meditation calms the chatter and allows your mind to stay focused.
For me, regular Reiki therapy, reflexology, or other healing sessions can be part
of your spiritual practice. Different people are drawn to different healing
techniques. The choice is large. On your journey you may include yoga,
massage, dietary changes.
You may select a modality and then, after time, change to another one. Time and
journey indicate different modalities.
Each chakra offers a different focus on our spiritual journey. All of them work
together to enhance health, happiness, and harmony.
