Yoga is you. Yoga is alchemy. It is transformation at its highest form; you showing up for yourself. 

Yoga is an inner thing. No one has to give it to you. You don’t need a mat, and you don’t need anyone else to do it with. No equipment necessary. Yoga is literally just you. 

 Yoga is about showing up and doing the work. Creating a spiritual practice that involves opening ourselves up to improvement and new ideas, rather than remaining stuck in the closed loops of deep subconscious patterns. Yoga is a lifestyle. It is spiritual wellness and all about cultivating inner contentment.

I was greeted by the sweet aroma of incense and freshly brewed tea when I arrived for my Fire Cider class. Dee immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable as we settled into her backyard patio. She had everything lined up and beautiful displayed as she explained how each herb and fruit was healing to my body.

As I packed my mason jar with the various ingredients, I could not help but feel positive and empowered. The music of Bob Marley played in the background bringing good vibes  and energy. This experience was perfect for me and my journey. I recommend it to anyone that wants to enjoy the natural way to take care of your body with the guidance of a health educator. 

Kitchen work is alchemy work. It is the sacred place in your home where you can program your food to nourish and work for you. If we are not aware, the same can also happen in reverse; the kitchen can be a place that feeds us sickness and disease.

Everybody has a different version of Fire Cider, mine has an alchemy element to it, a magical process that I want to share with you!

Virtual Vitamins are the digital counterpart to the vitamins we ingest with our food as supplements.

Here are 3 steps to ensure you are taking your virtual vitamins daily:

1. Take inventory. Look at the social media accounts that you follow online and see what you’re being tapped into on a daily basis. Observe how you are feeling when you look at your social media? Are you feeling drained? Are you feeling inspired?

2. Do a virtual cleanse. There is so much power in the images we see everyday, it’s important to switch up the frequency. Every now and then cleanse your virtual online space. Unfollow those accounts that are not up to date or posting inspiring things for you to get your juices going. You are in control of your virtual reality. You’ll be amazed when you delete some accounts, how other accounts that you are aligned with will suddenly come to the forefront.

3. Keep the accounts you are aligned with. The accounts that you follow should reflect what you want to see. This will get your day going in a positive direction because in the morning when you scroll you will be reminded of your joy and light by the images you see.

The mind is a powerful tool and it can also be used as a weapon against you. The TV with the news, and the Internet with social media can be powerful nocebo dosing machines.

You’ve heard of the placebo effect from the Latin: I shall be pleasing or acceptable—when a person feels better from a drug or treatment that doesn’t have any pharmacological or physiological properties, whether they’re aware it’s a placebo or not. The nocebo effect happens in reverse.

Ever wonder why we aren’t seeing tolls of people recovering from Covid-19 on the news? Instead we are constantly hearing and seeing the death tolls posted daily as we watch the news. This is all to create a fear vibration in our psychology that directly impacts our immune system negatively.
