High Frequency Foods

High Frequency Foods are those left in the natural state, unadulterated, unprocessed, no chemicals or genetic alterations.  As energetic beings our body and all of its magnificent parts operate on their own frequencies and interact with the frequencies we introduce to them. High frequency foods “speak” to the body in the language designed for it.

Introducing high frequency foods allows the body to experience higher energy levels, a more conscious state of awareness, more balanced energy, and greater satisfaction from our food. The benefit for those who are weight conscious is that the more you feed your body what it needs, the more efficient it becomes and the less you need to feed it.

Here is a list of high frequency foods I found during my wellness journey. Enjoy ~

Tai Chi for Health

My Tai Chi practice began in 2005 after reading articles from sources such as Mayo Clinic and Harvard about the health benefits of Tai Chi for various diseases including heart conditions.  Having just been placed on medication for heart arrhythmia at the time, I was looking for something to relieve stress, balance my energy, and strengthen the rhythm of my heart.  Currently, my heart is stronger than it ever has been, I am off all medications, no longer suffer from heart arrhythmia and Tai Chi is still a part of my day.

Tai Chi is a graceful series of movements originally developed in China that help balance the chi or energy of the body.  Commonly described as “meditation in motion” because of the serenity resulting from the gentle movements and coordinated breathing allowing the connection of body and mind. Focused attention on movement and breath frees the mind from the thoughts and concerns of life resulting in reduced stress and a more calm state of being.

According to Mayo Clinic, recent studies of Tai Chi have revealed evidence suggesting Tai Chi may offer benefits including:

~ stress reduction

~ improved sleep quality

~ lower blood pressure

~ improved cardiovascular fitness

~ chronic pain relief

~ reduced anxiety and depression

~ increased energy

~ improved balance

~ improved muscle strength

~ increased endurance

Tai Chi instructors are becoming easier to find locally and there are excellent DVD’s for practice at home.  My personal favorites are offered by Gaiam.  I have benefited from both instruction and DVD practice.  Through the years I have even become comfortable practicing with nothing but the movements my body has memorized through the years.  As you grow in your practice of Tai Chi you can draw on the stress reduction benefits throughout your day whether stuck in traffic or in a meeting.

Self Power & The Solar Plexus Chakra

As a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher, I have found that many of my clients and students experience blockages and trauma to the Solar Plexus Chakra – the seat of Self Power. 

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in the area above the naval and below the heart.  It houses our will and our perception of self power.  When in balance and harmony its natural state is laughter, joy and feelings of empowerment.  When disharmony or imbalance occurs the results can be manifested as feelings of powerlessness, anger, as well as pain affecting the areas of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Allowing someone else control over your will and self power is the most common cause of Solar Plexus disharmony in my experience.  Your will and self power is designed to be yours. When you allow another person control over your will or when you allow them to exert power over you it creates symptoms related to the Solar Plexus Chakra. Chief symptomatic complaints include digestive issues, stomach problems, fat stored in the area and blood sugar imbalances.

Another cause I commonly see for Solar Plexus disharmony is that of living as a victim. There are those who perceive themselves as helplessly trapped in situations beyond their control. When this is the perception it is common to perceive yourself as a victim. In truth one may only be a victim so long as one allows it. Having grown up and then married into abusive relationships I can say with authority that when you are ready to move from victim to empowered, you can do so. Changing your perception is, in my own experience, an ongoing process but it can be done with amazing results.

Recognizing that you have given your self power away is the first step to bringing harmony back to the solar plexus chakra.  Acknowledgement that allowing this giving over of self power is not for your best good is a key step to healing.  Healing occurs as you allow yourself to reclaim your will and perception of self power.  As you journey through this process, boundaries will be required to protect your new choices. Each time you hold your boundary you feel more empowered.

As you take the steps to bring balance and harmony to the solar plexus chakra you can enjoy the natural state that was intended for you – laughter, joy and empowerment.  In every case I have witnessed symptoms heal as harmony is restored to the Solar Plexus Chakra.
