Indigo Ocean Dreams: 4 Children’s Stories Designed to Decrease Stress, Anger and Anxiety while Increasing Self-Esteem and Self-Awareness (Audio CD) Where to buy: www.amazon.com
I am sure you are well aware that in today’s world not only adults suffer from issues such as stress, anger, anxiety, or other conditions that might keep them awake at night or feeling unsettled during the day. Many children these days experience stress related symptoms, which can be caused by lots of different factors, from family issues, trauma, pain, to bullying etc. This in turn can and will cause problems at home and at school.
The CD Indigo Ocean Dreams: 4 Children’s Stories Designed to Decrease Stress, Anger and Anxiety while Increasing Self-Esteem and Self-Awareness is, in my opinion, a great CD to help children to feel relaxed and let go of anger and whatever stress they carry. I like the idea that it uses characters within the stories kids can easily relate to. There is Angry Octopus to deal with anger management. Sea Otters in Sea Otter Cove teaches kids proper deep breathing – which is important both for their overall well-being but also in order for them to learn to relax. Bubble Riding introduces visualization aspects and Affirmation Weaver instils positive statements.
Lovely music of sea otters, dolphins and the gentle lapping of waves accompany the stories. In my view, the CD gives children an easy opportunity to learn proper stress management techniques while listening to beautiful stories. These stress management techniques will be useful throughout their lives to ease stress and tension.
Overall, this CD is very good value for money and I, as a parent, would not hesitate to purchase Indigo Ocean Dreams. Whatever problem your child might be having, the simple but beautiful stories are a great way to aid in your child’s overall well-being.

The Power Of Aerobic Activity
Even if you’re not the type to go to a gym to work out, there are plenty of ways to get your needed aerobic activity. Turn on some music and get moving! Even housework can be a fun aerobic workout. Instead of just mopping the floor you can buy yourself a pair of the newly invented mop slippers and dance around the kitchen while you get your floors spic-and-span.
You need to get that heart pumping for at least 20-30 minutes three to four times per week. You owe it to yourself to get some healthy exercise. The benefits are numerous:
* You’ll feel better overall * Your mood will improve * You’ll suffer less from PMS * Your self-esteem will soar * You’ll have more energy
Don’t you agree that you deserve to feel great? Absolutely!
When you exercise, you strengthen your heart and lungs. You burn calories which will help you maintain a healthy weight. The muscles in your body will be toned. And even long after your aerobic exercise routine you’ll continue you burn more calories throughout the day. Your resting metabolic rate will increase so you won’t have to feel guilty about eating that popcorn while you watch a movie at the theatre.
If you’re a mom you’ll have more energy for everything you need to get done. A domestic engineer’s job is never finished, so you owe it to yourself and your family to be as healthy as possible. You’ll also be in a better mood and able to tolerate the stressful events that life throws at you. Imagine yourself handling the terrible twos with a smile on your face!
Aerobic exercise isn’t hard to get. You might attempt by-
* Taking the kids to the park and joining in with their play * Join a softball, basketball, or volleyball team * Volunteer to help prepare and deliver meals on wheels * Woo your partner into taking you dancing
Even just taking a brisk walk will do much to help you get your aerobic exercise.
As an adult you no doubt have your share of stressful life events. But that doesn’t mean you have to take life too seriously. It’s ok to be laid back and let go your inner child once in awhile. Don’t be shy or embarrassed to act a little silly if you feel like it. Life was meant to be enjoyed so put those worries on the back burner for a little while. Be funny with your children every now and then and you’re guaranteed to be better equipped to deal with all those worrisome things. I love to play with my children it keeps me young.
In short, you’ll feel great and look great. You do want to fit back into those jeans you wore in high school, don’t you?
You need to stop eating dairy, eggs which are unborn chicks, processed foods like sandwich meats in general, NO SUGAR which is just another poison that we will discuss another time, pour your other poison-sodas down the sink drain! I highly recommend that you Drink Ionized Water or Pure Fresh Orgamic Juices that you juice yourself by using an extractor.
Eat Quinoa instead of rice and Amaranth which is rich in protein and it contains more Calcium than cow's milk.
Leave this in the box in the store- White rice which absolutely useless and brown rice which is VERY starchy and causes other health problems. Amaranth is good to eat and it is also gluten free and can be purchased at health food stores.
Remeber!!! No white flour! If you really want to be and stay healthy. It has been stripped of vital nutrients! Good for nothing except the garbage.
What to do if the Spit Test shows positive?
First, talk this over with your Naturopath, Wellness Coach or Health care provider, as soon as possible.
Be aware that a Candida Yeast problem can be pretty difficult to deal with, especially after it has had enough time to get established and be causing you problems.
It may not be easy, and it may take a while to impact the situation, be patient, and work on it everyday.
I recommend that you avoid all mucuos forming foods and start taking Mediterranean Oregano Oil. Make sure it is truly organic and free of all chemicals and pesticides.
You must avoid ALL Sugars as well. Like honey, syprups, white sugar even all fruits for a period of time til you overcome this challenge.
Include some bitter vegetables in your diet which stimulates the Liver for better detoxification.
Coffee Enemas are also great to incorporate daily for about two weeks and drink plenty of good pH 7.8 and higher water. This will move you along much quicker to wholeness, wellness and a yeast free body. You may call my Holistic Ministry at 973-748-0090 for a scheduled appointment for a Wellness Inventory.
Do You Have A Yeast Infection? Take this simple Spit Test!
Might I have a problem with Candida Yeast?
You can do this simple test to find out.
First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, fill a clear glass with room temperature Bottled Water.
Work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour.
If you have a potential problem, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water.
If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you probably have Candida- I'll tell you how to kill it next.

Enzymes are destroyed when food is heated above 118 degrees. Enzymes are the catalysts of every chemical reaction in our bodies. Without them, there can be no cellular division, immune system functioning, energy production nor brain activity. No vitamins or hormones can do their work without enzymes. There are two different types of enzymes in our bodies, metabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes. We produce over 100,000 different enzymes, each doing a unique task.I highly recommend everyone start taking my Special Enzymatic Formulas-Superzymes 2/3x's daily and Agape Formula #1.

Pour into a nut milk bag to strain. Add remaining quart of water, flavorings, salt and maple syrup and stir well. Chill and serve. This will separate when in the refrigerator, so stir before using. This is a delicious nutmilk, easy to make, nutritious, and satisfying.

Raw Almond-Veggie Pate
The recipe is incredibly easy–just toss all ingredients into a food processor and blend to a spreadable consistency–and it provides excellent protein through the soaked raw nuts and seeds (and soaking also renders them more digestible than dry raw versions). You can also play around with the veggies in this pate to suit your own taste. I like to include something juicy to help thin out the consistency, but if you prefer to omit the tomato, just add a little water or extra lemon juice to the mix. You can also use some Braggs Amino Acid as well.
1 cup raw natural almonds, soaked in water for 6-10 hours and drained
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, soaked in water 4-6 hours and drained
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut in chunks
1/2 cup broccoli, coarsely chopped
1/2 red pepper, cut in chunks
1/2 ripe tomato, cut in chunks
1 large clove garlic, sliced
1/2 cup (or more, to taste) fresh cilantro (use the leaves and thin part of stems)
2 Tbsp. white or mild miso paste
