I went to a seminar this weekend on Breast Cancer. I was asked to go along by a charity we have been supporting for over 5 years. It was a brilliant seminar and I felt very honored to be asked to have a stand there, as LoveurSoul is quite a unique brand in that whilst we do have products that help our health and well being, a lot of what we do is around how we feel and allowing ourselves to understand ourselves and be Ok with this.
LoveurSoul is as much about prevention as it is cure but what I learnt at the weekend is that trauma is often the catalyst for change in our lives and understanding ourselves is not something our ‘blue prints’ always allow us to do. Going this weekend was particularly poignant to me as whilst cancer has touched my direct family’s life 4 times in the last 16 years the latest occurance has left me with a deep sense of peace that our journey’s are our own to follow and whilst I am so grateful for so much knowledge I can only help those that are ready to embrace change and acknowledge fear and what it is there to teach us. It is does not leave me with any less empathy, it just allows me not to feel as if I have to solve everybody’s else’s problems.
Cancer is a difficult word and it was really interesting watching people’s reaction when I told them I was going to the seminar and even more interesting watching the people at the seminar and how they react to talking about the disease that they are faced with. As always I was inspired by others ability to face fear with courage dignity and grace.
From my understanding of this weekend It would appear that lifestyle has a lot to do with cancer and not just the food we eat but how we deal with our lives and the people we surround ourselves with. Here are some things that are worth knowing about keeping our bodies balanced and in harmony that for those of us that are blessed with a healthy body can do to prevent ‘dis-ease in the first place.
1.When we embrace change in our lives our body is in harmony and we have balance in body and in mind.
2.When life gets tough and it will at times and we make sacrifices in our lives ( and we will always have to do this) if we are at peace with these sacrifices our body will get positive messages from our body and again find harmony in our decisions.
3.Lymphatic drainage optimises our health and we can do this from things like EFT,Dona Eden Energy medicine and Heartmath.
4.Just 30 mins of walking a day would reduce breast cancer by up to 40%
5. Getting proper oxygen to our bodies i.e simple breathing fully stabilizes our PH balance and allows our metabolism to work effectively.
6.When we take a longer in breath than out we automatically release cortisol in our body
7.When our body is too acidic medication will not always work. Corisol / stress contributes to making our body acidic
8. There are 6 classes of protein and you do not need to get them all from meet or fish.
9. Iyengar Yoga will have an impact on inflammation of the body as well boosting mood and reducing fatigue
Cancer is a big word in our world today but so is fear and it is fear that allows our body to get into disharmony.It is also fear that allows our body to enable ‘dis-ease’ to grow. There is much we can to do manage this, but one of the greatest tools we have that is also free, is to face fear with dignity and grace but then and do it anyway.
Life is not always plain sailing, but our attitude is everything and what we learn from pain and suffering is our greatest asset to our futures. If we can trust our intuition and listen to our gut,when we really trust this we will never end up in the wrong place. This advice is not given lightly and to do this, we must face the fear of uncertainty and know that fear is only real if we make it our reality. As you will know from our bracelets, my affirmation begins with Wise and ends with LoveMySoul. I have learnt a lot to have those two words mean so much to me and my hope now is that our journey helps you too to accept and love your soul and live your life to the full in a way that you are happy with.
