Weight issues? Is it Calories or is it Hormones?

Good morning,

I went to this health seminar and they pitched a totally different approach to weight issues and it made soooooo much sense. watching what kind of calories and how much is a good idea for good health, but for weight management, I learned a simple fact. Before our bodies even start gaining unwanted pounds and going into a frenzy of loving to gain weight, we need to look at something else first......we need to find out what kind of health symptoms we are experiencing (lack of sleep, brittle cracked nails, hair falling out, white film on tongue, areas where weight has settled in, what kind of cravings sweet salty sour stuff, and there are tons of other examples, but all of it adds up to one of four body types: Thyroid, Adrenal, Ovary, Liver.

Basically when we are able to identify which category we fall into, we are then able to heal and strengthen that area back to proper functioning, which eliminates the stress the body was feeling, which puts a halt on all extra fat producing hormones(pesticides, hormone injecting, fungicides, herbacides, steroid injecting, GMO foods, sugar, artificial sweeteners, all of these chemicals affect your organ functions), so that when we do go work out we are actually burning our fat storages and not our blood sugar and sugar reserves (cuz when we do burn those calories for energy in that form, our bodies go into the craving stages to refill the sugars we have burned, viscous cycle).

All together we are to eat as close to a pure/organic, high green, fiber filled diet, non chemical, non steroid/hormone pumped meats. Fruit and veggie sticker coding: starts with a 9 means organic. You can google "Thyroid body type" and see the symptoms (as with the other types too) and all in all we need to also learn how to unwind, relax, de-stress our mind and body. So many of us are lookin to get amped up work outs, pumped up with artificial sweeteners (poisons), massive amounts of caffiene and we lose all of our ability to replenish our cellular system by depriving ourselves of natural state in the raw form foods which hold the most vitamins and minerals available to us. So now, since I know how important it is to get these nutrients, I throw everything in a blender with water some honey or agave and chug a chug. Get a shot of wheat grass everyday if you can, eat alfalfa sprouts in your sandwhich, take hummus and some veggies that you like to work with you for a snack (totally holds you over between meals) You will start feeling amazing, refreshed, energized, clear minded, and drink your water. I could keep going really, only cuz I love you.

Environmental Awareness, Wellness & Health, Exercise & Fitness, Financial Opportunity

Wow, where do I start~it's all so exciting!!!

We all know the great importance of each word in the title above, but knowing and living are two different things. I want to encourage everyone to be involved and living all of the time. My passion has everything to do with exposing people to healthier, happier and more meaningful living.

More and more people are suffering today from illness, dis-ease and cancers than ever before. Giant Global corporations, Global Government Programs and Global Pharmaceutical companies are now being exposed and recognized for their destruction in peoples lives, planetary pollution, greed, corruption and deception to the ones who have been pouring their hard earned money into their bank accounts, us~ the Human race. There are many causes that we all can support and stand up for in order to make a difference and we all have learned that the change must begin with ourselves first, "we must become the change we want to see in the world".

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
  • Air, Water, Land Pollution
  • Global Warming
  • Forest Excavation
  • Wild Life Extinction on the rise
  • Chemical Factory Waste
  • Plastic products leaching into water/air
HEALTH ISSUES
  • Obesity
  • Cancer
  • Viruses
  • Diabetes
  • Malnutrition
  • Starvation
  • Stress of Heart & Mind
  • Prescription/Illegal Drug Addiction
  • Alcohol Addiction
  • Sedentary Living
SOCIAL STATUS
  • BANKRUPTCY
  • FORECLOSURES
  • UNEMPLOYMENT
  • FINANCIAL RUIN
  • DIVORCE
At some point in time any one of these factors may present itself in our lives and we are never prepared for such experiences like these. As we are hearing of these occurrences more and more in the news we are slowly coming to terms that maybe it would be wise to start coming up with a "Plan B".

What are the options? Another JOB.
How are we gonna squeeze more time out of the day? When you only have about 6-8 hours left over out of 24 in our day.
Will any of it be worth the extra stress that we are going to put ourselves through while trying to make up the extra money needed? More than likely NOT!

So let me share with you the BIGGEST TREND fitting into todays world of events listed above:
"Plan B" :

Network Marketing

A Business building model that delivers financial rewards and a residual income by building a team of like minded people who are distributing a product by word of mouth. Pursuing the same goals~Freedom of Time, Money and Life.

YOLI~
I am introducing to you a company who is for the People by the People. Delivering a worthy product, donating to a worthy cause, and dedicated to improving financial lives. This product fits into every walk of life. Serves the planet by planting trees. Offers a solution to Plastic Pollution and cutting back on usage of oil to produce plastic bottles. A technology that is guaranteed to deliver nutrients at its purest state to the cellular body. And when we say timing is everything, well, it is right now~we are in the Pre-launch phase of this company and it is spreading like wild fire.

Times are changing and it is time to be a little more open minded about the way businesses are ran and people are making money. Viral marketing, social marketing, network marketing are replacing Billboard, newspaper, magazine and T.V. advertising at a rate that is incomprehensible. Look around next time you are driving down the road and count how many people are in business by way of Network Marketing. It just may compel you to do a little more research.

12 ways to feel better and have more energy!

I found this article by Marilyn Preston who is a fitness expert, personal trainer and speaker on healthy lifestyle issues. Here goes:

Health care reform actually begins at home. Here are 12 healthy-lifestyle action steps you can take starting today.

1. BE MORE ACTIVE. you will develop more strength and energy, look better, and feel happier and healthier if you enjoy some physical activity every day.

2 DON'T DIET. learn to enjoy preparing and eating real food in sensible amounts to lose weight and keep it off. replace the drama of dieting with the joy of growing some of your own food or buying from local farmers.

3. MAKE HEALTHY EATING ADJUSTMENTS. stop ordering fried foods. substitute dark salad greens, like spinach, for iceberg lettuce. order salad dressings on the side. cancel the cheese.

4. STRETCH MORE. release muscle tension every day to reduce stress and ease pain. just 10 minutes a day can make a difference.

5. DON'T OVERDUE WORKOUTS. too much intensity takes the fun out of being active and raises your risk of injury. moderation is the path to lifelong fitness.

6. DEVELOP INNER BODY AWARENESS. yoga teaches you to use your breath to link body and mind. find your own path to inner awareness, and travel down it daily to clarity, calm, to greater joy.

7. SPEND TIME IN NATURE. outdoor adventures will calm you mentally and revitalize you physically.

8. GET MORE SLEEP. too many people go around sleep deprived, then wonder why they feel tired and irritable.

9. EMBRACE NEW CHALLENGES. set new goals, seek out different experiences, and become the change you want to see in the world

10. KEEP A PERSONAL JOURNAL. keeping track keeps you on track, whether you want to lose 10 pounds or stick to an exercise program.

11. OVERCOME ALL EXCUSES. make time to exercise. get up earlier, write it into your calendar, find mini- breaks in your day to walk or meditate. take control of your day and a more balanced life will follow.

12. STAY POSITIVE. anger, envy and self-pity can sap your strength and lower your resistance to illness. learn to live in the moment.

I thought that all 12 of these points were great reminders of keeping our lives in order and in good health. We all get caught up in the many distractions that life throws at us, but it is still up to us to stay on the tight rope and get to the other side in one piece. We all know how chaos, discord and disarray causes us to lose focus, and this is why I wanted to share this with everyone, because we can apply these small but powerful steps to our day and experience HEALTH & WELLNESS OF MIND BODY & SPIRIT.

Always LOVE, Sunny

Today

Good morning. Well, today is starting out as a gorgeous and magnificent day. Radiant green palms, brilliant blue sky, fresh crisp cool morning air and quite stillness surrounding me. This is a perfect time to use as a point of meditation, to visualize specific events and people I want to embrace as my day unfolds. I will lite an incense for a sweet aroma that will help energize my senses and inspire a sweet desire for a compassionate spirit today, a grateful spirit, a humble spirit and charitable spirit to consume this body today. I choose today to have an open heart and mind to the needs of others, that I will recognize a greater reason for our paths crossing and I will understand that my willingness to serve others before myself will be fulfilling the greatest royal law, “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF”.

Blessings and Love always,

Mana

In the Hawaiian language Mana means "ENERGY" or "POWER". We choose our Mana every day from the moment we open our eyes and take in our first cleansing breath. As our body fills with new clean oxygen, we become aware that we are awake now, our mind is empty like a clean slate with nothing on it and we realize an awkward state of stillness, peacefulness, quietness and almost a feeling of being lost. But this should not be so strange, this place of aloneness should be comfortable, freeing and safe. This is the place where we CO-CREATE our day. This is where we choose our Mana, our Energy or Power and begin to visualize what kind of day we are going to experience. It is a very empowering feeling when we know that our day will unfold as we choose. We can co-create a day with enlightenment, positiveness and high vibration energy which will attract the same forces in the people and experiences in your day. Use this awareness and choose your Mana. It was intended from the beginning of your very existence to live in a "life giving power", a "high energy vibration", a Mana that exudes LIFE.

Be Blessed today and Bless others

Meditation~ time to prepare for

Stay tuned........
hmmmm, while waiting did you happen to think about or act on meditation?

Well, even if you just got to see the title of this post, I know that at least a spark of curiosity of what Meditation is got its chance to stir around in your state of consciousness and get stored in your subconscious mind. Meditation is a powerful tool for us to use and apply in these busy and stressful times we are living in. Meditation is being used by everyone from all walks of life from all over the world and even being practiced by the youngest to the oldest members of families. It is a time used for centering, healing, refreshing and to plan or prepare for while being still. The combination of clearing the mind and feeding the body with each breath is a time of cleansing and setting up your vision that you are intending for your hour, day and life. There is also clearly a breaking down of an earlier misconception that meditation was part of a certain religion or group of people, when in fact research has shown that this practice is necessary in maintaining a state of optimal health both physically and mentally. No matter who you are or where you live, wellness, balance and self control are being concentrated on and developed so that we may remain whole and complete. Meditation is the first step to implement in our lives so that we may acquire Peace of Mind Body and Soul. When we are choosing to begin our journey with the intention of high vibrational energy, positiveness and light it is important to take the steps that will lead to our experience the way we are envisioning our outcome to be.

Stress is the cause of our immune system breaking down and mental illness taking place in our lives. Stress constricts and shortens the flow of good energy and creates blocks that eventually lead to a breakdown of Mind Body and Spirit. Meditation offers our mind and body time to restore itself and prepare itself for whatever is to come. Breathing opens our circulation and allows our body to function in its fullest capacity. Life is busy these days and is quick to spiral out of control so it is up to us to be more active in managing our health, wellness and state of mind. Businesses are now being designed to be the fastest, quickest, most convenient and as instant as possible in order to survive in any industry or market these days. In return this requires us to pick up our pace in order to keep up and not get left behind in the race of supply and demand or better, generating MONEY. Our health and wellness is far more important than money, because without wellness there will be illness and with illness there will be no business. Even the largest of corporate America is recognizing this fact and are requiring that their employees attend Wellness seminars that they are offering. Even some of the wealthiest most powerful business icons like Donald Trump, Oprah, Russel Simmons, Larry King and I could keep going are devoted to the practice of Meditation.

So, how do you meditate?

All you need is yourself, a quiet place and a comfortable position (sitting, lying down, chair). You may choose a soft instrumental or soundscape music, small waterfall or nothing at all. The goal here is to set aside 5 mins.( beginners)-30+ mins. (advanced) first thing in A.M. and before going to sleep at night. Morning time is for setting up your day and night time is for clearing the mind for a good nights rest. As soon as you are set, you want to close your eyes and begin with an exhale, completely emptying out your lungs and then inhaling through your nose, listening to each breath as it leaves and enters your body. When you are entering into this space of calm you want to also empty out any thoughts and losing yourself to your breath seeing only empty space. This space will be used throughout your day for making decisions, dealing with frustrations, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, hurt, lonliness, negative energy, giving up, doubt or anything else that doesn't serve your greater good. This practice can be done literally anywhere. It is the place inside of us where no one else may enter and a place where we are able to sort through anything without any interuptions in order to keep a calm and productive flow. With meditation there is no reason for addictions to consume our well being. Whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, perfectionism whatever it is that you may lose your own self control to we can overcome it by using Meditation.

Remember, our focus is always going to be "what kind of energy are we carrying with us"? Making a decision of how we want our day to unfold will be carried out by how we begin our day. So start with Meditation, set your thoughts aside, feed your body and mind new oxygen, create that empty space within, and enter the realm of freedom and joy. You are the co-creator in this life and you can place yourself in PEACEFULNESS.

God Bless,

Energy is my Business

ENERGY. A force of expression.

We all have this inherent power, ENERGY, that exists in the depths of our tiniest most mega-microscopic life forms within our living bodies called "atoms". These atoms are what make up each and every living cell in our entire body. This ENERGY is the beginning and without it, there is NO life, there is NO form of expression.

So, if this is the beginning, then this must be where we should begin and this is why ENERGY is my business.

Since we are aware that Energy is a force of expression then we need to ask ourselves, "How do I want to EXPRESS myself"? Our Energy is going to be the center of how we express ourselves, how we are perceived, how we react, how we respond, and how we interact. Energy comes in forms of light and dark, high and low, up and down, positive and negative and we measure our energy in VIBRATION. Just the same as when we toss a pebble into a calm water, the energy forms where the pebble enters the water and the vibration creates ripples traveling outward. The vibration is measured by the size of the ripples caused by the amount of energy entered into the space of water. The same goes for us when we enter into any space. The type and amount of energy we carry will immediately have an affect on the space we step into and everything or everyone in it. I am not sharing this information for gain of power (as some would interpret), but instead for conscious understanding (feeding the subconscious mind).

My goal here is to help "service" and "empower" our mind, body and spirit by lifting our cellular expression (Energy) to Opimal Health so that we are able to express ourselves in a positive, light, high, up and living life form. We need to feed our cells well, keep them hydrated, and allow time for restoration and replenishing. What does this mean? I am referring to Healthy Diet, Water and Rest. Living is energy in motion and I am here to express my energy to you for a better life.

There are so many books, articles, BLOGS, CD's, DVD's and lessons on Diet, but I want to talk about the nutritional needs of our cells for a healthy high vibrational energy. Our cells use the nutrients we put into our bodies and turn it into energy which then is used by our organs, heart, brain, muscles and blood. Our cells are also highly dependent on hydration. In the same way that a grape turns into a raisin by dehydrating it, the cell can also become depleted and lose it's functioning abilities. Resting is by far just as important for our cellular regeneration, we do have billions of cells in our body, but over time these do die and are unable to keep reproducing. Resulting in what we know as "aging". So make it a point to feed your body well, proper hydration and rest so that your cells can become refreshed. Optimum health is obtainable, it just takes a little more conscious decision making and effort to do what is best for your energy levels.

Today, begin to use a little more thought when it comes to what you put into your body. Ask yourself, "is this going to energize my body or is it just empty calories"? Remember, it does matter and we all need to recognize that we are a soul living in this Temple we call our body. So treat it with the utmost respect and love and it will provide for you Great Health and long life in return.
