Allergies

With allergy soon season upon us, how can we help reduce our allergies? One of the easiest ways to improve your family health and impact the environment in a positive way is to eliminate fragrances. This will reduce the load on your system and allow the body to better handle the allergies using its natural defenses.

I know we love to smell good… but the fragrances are not natural anymore. They are chemicals and many of them are carcinogenic- yes cancer producing fragrances…. and even if they are not cancer producing are they chemicals that your body can eliminate? If not, there goes another fat cell to store the chemical away from your important life giving chemicals.

Just going to dye free/fragrance free laundry products cuts the chemical produced smells out of your clothes and anywhere those clothes go… including any place public like your child’s classroom where other students health are concerned. Also the dryer smell now carries that chemical out to your breathing air outside perhaps impacting your neighbors breathing spaces and often places where ever vented like flower gardens.

Remember your skin is absorbent that is why they use patches for medicines…. The skin will absorb what is on it… including the chemicals from the clothes, the shampoos, the conditioners, and so on…How many fragranced products do you use a day excluding your make-up ladies(which is a whole other story.) If it is more than three, even if you are washing it down the drain like shampoo, consider cutting the number in half down to the bare essentials or replace with fragrance free items.

Everything is a cycle… the chemicals in your garden are picked up by the animals about and also washed into the soil. These could be washed into the drinking water system eventually from the soil, not to mention them being directly put into the waste water system which eventually gets processed. Does the processing pick up these chemicals?

But we like to smell good… after washing the unnatural smells out of your clothes, which will take anywhere between 3 and 10 washings, try using some natural smells from the kitchen like three of my favorites, dried orange peels, vanilla or cloves put in an old sock as a scent bag. You get the added benefit of the cloves being a natural pesticide and the orange peels are a natural bug repellent.

The simple change out to fragrance free products will reduce the chemical load on your body free up your liver to fight your real allergies better. One last recommendation, try NAET to remove your allergies. This is a holistic approach to allergy elimination – no shots required. See NAET.com for additional information. There are other holistic options including EFT, QRA that can help with your allergies.

Got Cancer

Linda will eventually write a book on natural ways to help prevent and heal cancer… Here is her top ten healing options which she presents to groups.

Ten Tools to Health

Top ten integrative things to try…

Integrative solutions not just for those with cancer… would help everyone’s health!

1) Improve your fuel:   Stop eating chicken and pork… science shows they cut your red blood cells significantly and they do not grow back for 21 days… You need the red blood cells to get oxygen to your body. The body works using the oxygen… Try Quantum Reflex Analysis to introduce raw food nutrition that resets/strengthens the biofield and provides the correct micronutrients to allow your body to heal.

2) Take all the electromagnetic influences out of the bedroom… Nothing electronic even alarm clocks within six feet of body… This also applies to your favorite chair that you use more than an hour a day…

3) Move the bed so your head is facing east… will most likely reduce the geomagnetic EMF that has been proven as a cause of cancer since World War II… If possible have a dowser check out the optimal placement for your bed/ easy chair. We can do this service as part of an environmental analysis.

4) Have Reiki treatments, this has been proven to have a positive effect on Cancer… I had one man whose PSA dropped in half after one week of remote treatments. He was in Florida. These services can be done directly or remotely.

5) Have an environmental analysis for your home… remove environmental threats… Top on the list is anything fragranced and anything antibacterial… we do evaluation for homes and businesses.

6) Check out oxygen therapy.  Scientists for years have been using oxygen in cancer research to stop the growth so study can be done…  Woodlands Research Center in Quakertown is one local resource.

7) Forgive everyone including yourself. This helps the immune system. We offer life coaching to help you learn forgiveness skills.

8) Try Energy Psychic Surgery – when the cancer is removed on an energy level, if can then influence the physical level. We do this sort of work in our advanced healings.

9) Try a Myofascial Release Intensive – one woman reduced her cancer after one week… We are fortunate to have the national MFR center in Paoli.  Our rates are less than half the price if cost is a factor… an intensive would be 2-3 sessions a day for a week or two… it has been shown to break up cancer for some…

10) Try Spiritual Releasement- one woman was discharged from the hospital with a miracle cure the day after a remote treatment over thousands of miles…We removed a spirit who actually had the cancer that was displaying in her body.

We also provide integrative body/mind medicine and life coaching for the whole family, including pets.

Blessings on your journey…

Diets make you obese

Science has finally figured out that diets make you obese
I wish we knew that before I started my first diet at age five!

As a perpetual dieter I’ve learned a lot about food now I’m a certified healer and life coach and getting my certification in sports nutrition.

Society is weight biased
I know from first hand experience the frustration of

- Gaining weight on a weight watcher’s diet plan, then being blamed for cheating
(although I told them I couldn’t eat that much food at the start and needed something tailored to me…)

- Not losing weight when working out four hours a day and eating a 400 calorie diet for a year training for a triathlon

- The doctors telling me I’m eating too much and just need to eat less (than 400 calories?)

-Being told I had an eating disorder when I was following
the doctor’s advice on how to lose weight.

- Racing an Olympic size triathlon at 220 pounds and being told to leave the staging area for the racers.

- Being rejected on insurance because I wasn’t under 170 pounds, even though I was in perfect health and in triathlete condition.

- Being evaluated on weight when I complained of exhaustion and a doctor told me all I needed to do is lose a few pounds to feel better, when I had mononucleosis

Now science knows to use exercise for well being not to lose weight and
that dieting doesn’t work, but food does

Lose weight by eating right and managing stress!
Nourishing yourself in the right amounts at the right times during the day
can bring balance into your life.

You may need to eat more to lose weight. Together we can figure it what your body needs.

Hour session recommended to start, then to meet weekly

Divorce happens to over 50% of the marriages, but our society still doesn’t accept it easily.  Often the person looses their friends and family not just their spouse.

  • Cord Cutting from your spouse for you and your children
  • Life Coaching helping you to figure out what next
  • Divorce Ceremony more for the kids, bringing the whole family together to cut the cords and end the marriage, but still promise to love and support the children.
  • Single Again Support
  • Life Coaching

Release during Healing

Is there going to be a release? Is a question I get a lot.

We healers use the word release to indicate removal of blockages that cause pain in a person’s body or life… and yes there are these releases and can take the form of a very painful moment along with a huge heat/energy surge coming from the point of pain- once out of the body, the body feels much better and relaxed. While going through it, it can feel like you are not going to be able to bear it, as if something is going to break or tear. This is the memory imprint replaying and you will experience the fear that is keeping the pain locked into the body. As a healer, I help you face this pain and fear, moving you through it to let you release it.

But most men writing about releases are really asking about ejaculations. The answer is no, there is no sexual release, although some have described the experience as powerful as sexual orgasm without ejaculation. Your privates remain private and will not be touched except by a spouse or other significant intimate who agrees to assist in the healing.

Also note that healing releases come in many forms which are very acceptable.. many people are embarrassed about, but no need, we healers know it is a signal that healing is occurring. Some of them are tears, some of them are gurling stomachs, some is gas release, or verbal words or sounds that may shock you ever would say such a thing. You may also have the feeling of having to throw-up, but 99.9% of the time these are just a gag reflex and nothing will happen.

Wow…that was quite something! I felt as though I had an orgasm without being touched or ejaculating…is that “normal”?

This is part of the healing release. The energy in the body is unlocked and its build up is let go-just like in an orgasm. Not always but many times healing energy release can be as powerful or even more powerful than orgasm in my personal opinion. The body tends to hold onto the pain energy until it feels safe to let it go… the extra energy the healing provides helps to coax it out of the body…

The normal ejaculation process experienced by men is really a physical response to a orgasm that is happening on a spiritual level. This is how men can have multiple orgasms without ejaculation. Or men can have pleasure and orgasms after prostate removal, even though they are no longer able to ejaculate. Sadly too many men think they are unworthy of sex or unvalued if they there is no ejaculation.

When people have orgasm during sex they experience something like a small death. This is the death of ego so that the spirit (the true self) is leading. Have you ever gotten lost in sex, not really thinking- just feeling the pleasure- there is no time and not really the other person since your body just knows what to do and not thinking ‘How can I please her?” or “How can I get her to please me?”… this is being in the moment and you are actually returning to heaven or what others call bliss for a few minutes.

This is when we can experience God. Science has proven that our brain is built so our sex is directly tied to our connection to God- this is why we will never be able to remove the desire to know God from our beings… it is as powerful and primitive as the sex desire. (Book: Why God Won’t Go Away.)

We feel vulnerable during orgasm because our true self is shining through and while in heaven/bliss we think (ego) we are just a shell of a person with no control to fight the saber tooth tiger that might be lurking around the corner… In reality this is the point where we are our strongest since the true self is able to do more than our ego self.

It is the concept of the Jedi master to fight with the force (the true self) – while he is fighting with his thoughts there is no power. Our most powerful position is when we disengage our brain (thinking) and feel. That is how I do all my healings- it is the only way it works…I told you my hands were where your body was telling me to put them to help your healing. Your body was the healer, I just was able to read it because I was working on the heavenly level with it…

This powerful true self is usually hidden by the ego which creates a mask that we walk around feeling safe in. It is a false sense of safety that we believe is safe. In reality we all know the mask isn’t safe, but we typically don’t have the courage to step out from behind it. Yesterday you were courageous enough to let the true self shine through and take control of your healing.

The truth is when we are more our true self, the more joy we have (part of the energy orgasm too).. This the is ancient joy we are all seeking. This is the my goal is to allow you to meet your true self and God while in heaven.

Enjoy your day-
Linda

Healing Beliefs

Wellness groups come in many forms- from fitness centers, to doctor’s offices trying to sound more related to the patient, to holistic centers like Ancient Joy.

Everything I do is focused on the biofield, which is what currently is called integrative body/mind medicine. Working on the spirit side of the body/mind/spirit holistic triangle – with the spirit being the biofield. This was called many things in the past including alternative medicine, complementary medicine, vibrational medicine, energy medicine…

I’ve written some of the basic beliefs around healing below in case that helps you decide if our wellness group is one that is applicable to you…

It is my belief:
1) The biofield is the life of the body (It has a small weight to it – less than an ounce that leaves the body at death. Some have seen it leave at death as a light or energy leaving the body.) Thus we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.

2) Illness is caused by various things that block the body’s normal biofield flow. This could be from toxins, emotions, trauma, DNA… etc. Very seldom is it germs in this paradigm… it is the abnormal energy flow that is causing the body to not be able to handle the germ assault as the body is originally designed. Thus a germ assault is a symptom of the disease.

3) It is the body’s desire to return to wellness if given the chance, but sometimes it is time for the spirit to move on and this should be respected in the healing process. (One of my first questions when working with a spirit is if this spirit is requesting healing or help towards death.)

4) As healers, we can only facilitate others in their healing journey working to remove the various blockages impeding the body’s progress to wellness. Ultimately their spirit is the one in control and will decide which way the body is going to proceed.

5) The universal source, which I call God, is the ultimate healer, there are ways to tap into this source to facilitate healing. The faith and religion of the healee has very little to do with using this universal source, except sometimes it can impede the healing when the healee is spending too much time requesting healing instead of receiving healing.

6) Healers come in various forms, some are educated as healers and some are given the healing powers from masters (teachers) or other spiritual beings such as the Holy Spirit. The second group of healers know intuitively what to do verses following logical procedures and protocols. Thus really good healers may not have any formal education. (I’m a mixture of both because I love to learn and need to understand the healing tools that has been given to me… but admittedly somethings are just from the spirit and I have no clue how things work since science hasn’t gone in that arena.)

7) We all have healing ability just like we can all play the piano, but some of us will be playing scales and others will be playing Mozart effortlessly. Picking a healer is sort of like picking a musican, choose one who you like how they play.

8) The healer’s effectiveness is not only based on their knowledge, but also based on their heart. Why do they do the work they do? Effective healers come with compassion, without ego and with joy. Be weary of those ‘educated healers’ who think their way is the only way, there is usually an ego issue with them that will block healing from occurring. Sometimes they actually inflict the client with pain from their ego issues having to fix the person…and I’ve had to undo some of the damage they uninvertantly done to their clients spirits… true healers never fix anything, they only facilitate the person’s self healing… Also be careful of those healers doing it for the money- they may have started out for the right reasons, but the practical issues of the bills have transformed them into doing it for the money and they have lost their joy.

9) Healers’ courses come in various forms too… the old masters use to know their students for years before progressing them… today’s ‘instant society’ has made weekend courses to learn processes. People will get the basics in these courses, but the real masters of today don’t reveal the more sophisticated tools and approaches to anyone who isn’t worthy… and for the hundreds of students who have learned the procdures only a few really are beyond the procedures… Use your gut feeling when picking your healer, but it doesn’t hurt to ask them about their training. If they have a relationship with their master, it is a pretty good chance they are worth your time.

Hopefully this helps you in your journey!

Remote Work

Linda truly enjoys helping folks remotely.  She has found that there is no distance in spiritual healing.  Her farthest healing was thousands of miles.

While she was a student she was on a Panama Cruise.  While going through the locks a shipmate asked Linda if she could heal her niece who was very ill.  Linda wasn’t sure but said she would try right there and then.   Traditionally Linda uses the name, age and location of the person, but there was no paper.  So she asked the Aunt to send love to her niece and used that love cord to access the niece.

Linda immediately got pain in an arm and the aunt confirmed that the arm was just recovering from a break.  Then Linda got and image of a 30 year old woman with a blonde ponytail.  Once confirmed that was the neice, Linda had a painful stab in the throat and knew it was throat cancer.  Imeddiately a story was told to Linda where the woman was hit from behind in the tub, where she fell and was possessed by a sheep farmer who had throat cancer.

This story was later verified that this is exactly what happened.  Linda released the spirit and got some additional messages on some foods the body wanted to recover.

About a week later when Linda was back home she got a call from the Aunt saying she heard from the niece and that the cancer was completely gone the day after the spirit was removed and that her doctors sent her home as a case of a miracle cure.

This was extremely amazing to Linda and demonstrated the true power of remote healing.   This case involved a spirit possession and most remote healings have spirit influences too, but not causing the cancer.   Linda’s typical remote healings will clear the spirit to allow the body to better heal.

For example Linda worked with a diabetic man a few thousand miles away and while he only had his numbers reduced and his diabetes wasn’t removed,he also had his libido restored and the spirit shared a story to help him heal a past relationship issue with his daughter.

Multiple Sclerosis

The alternative medicine I do does help with MS, but what I have found as have my other healer friends that the doctors misdiagnosis MS many times…

As an example, in a recent workshop we ‘fixed’ one gal’s MS by correcting a head injury that started it all… within minutes she recovered from the years of MS symptoms. This was done with psychic surgery…

And at a convention I was working with one gal whose body was telling me she had adrenal fatigue, not MS…. the body told me a full protocol needed to recover which she could do in about 6 months… but she was so tied to the MS and that way of living for the past seven years, she wasn’t willing to even consider what her body was telling me…

I sent her away with a recommendation to get a book on Adrenal Fatigue and my phone number if she would want to try something.  She never called… this is the way with alternative medicine…   this was done with medical intuition and kinesiology.

So all I can go with is what the client’s body is telling me.  Which often times is different than what a doctor guesses- I’ve learned in my studies that doctors are only correct 12% of the time (scary huh??), but we take them for granted.   This is why the work requires courage on the client’s part to really learn how to listen to their body and trust themselves…and I guess my abilities to facilitate the healing…

When I do medical intuition, I’m a just facilitator to share your body wisdom. Your body already knows you, I just talk to it and hear what it is saying…  many times it will tell me things it wants like I had a lady this week whose body wanted almonds…

There are some folks with real MS and they can be helped using some physic surgery techniques and then also whatever the body tells us it needs…  Much of the work can be done remotely, because it is of a spiritual nature…to do the work I need the full name, age and location of the person and of course their permission… I know this concept is probably new to you, but on a spiritual/psychic level there is no distance…

I can also see the person in my office if they are local.  This is good if the body wants to be taught some method to handle an issue or if it wants some additional relaxing hands on work…
