Dr Oz: Sound Therapy Chakra Bowls

Ancient secrets from Tibetan monks are said to link your mind, body and spirit for better health. Could this growing trend in alternative health be the answer to help slow aging and restore your youth?

Tibetan monks maintain a constant state of intentional awareness and prayer, infusing this energy into every thought and worldly action. The three secrets Dr. Oz and Pamela discussed on the show are all used to help maintain this lifestyle of focused intentionality and well-being.

Herbal medicine (nutrition), sound healing (induced meditation through the use of sound and vibration), and the Five Tibetan Rites (exercise), yoga-based moves designed to give you a renewed sense energy and vitality, are three of the many secrets Tibetan monks use to maintain health, vitality and longevity.

Sound therapy is done with Tibetan Bowls and is a way of bringing vibration into the body. You might have seen this remonstrated recently on the Doctor Oz Show where Dr Oz had an audience member lie on stage with 7 bowls strategically placed around her. The Chakras are listening to the vibrations. As the notes are being played, the Chakras are listening and releasing any negative energy you may be holding. You don’t have to use Seven Bowls as seen on the Dr Oz Show, you can use one or two bowls and get the same effect.

Dr Oz actually tried it too by sitting in a chair and placing one bowl upside down on his head and tapping the Tibetan Bowl with the stick and holding the Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowl with his other hand. This created a soothing vibration, almost like the familiar ooommhh Tibetan Meditation sound.

Little about Tibetan Singing Bowls: Singing bowls (also known as ‘Himalayan bowls’ or ‘rin gongs’ in Japan) are type of musical instrument classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, standing bells sit with the bottom surface resting. The sides and rim of the bell vibrate to produce sound. Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia as part of Bön, Buddhist, Ngagpa and shamanic meditation practice. Today they are used worldwide for meditation, relaxation, healthcare, mystical and religious practice.

How To Play Tibetan Singing Bowl: Start by holding your bowl in the palm of your left hand (right if you are left handed) The very bottom of the bowl should be the only part of the bowl touching your hand so the body of the bowl is allowed to vibrate freely. With a wooden mallet or whatever mallet you are using, slowly start rubbing the outside rim in a clockwise circular motion, keeping an even and constant pressure on the edge of the bowl. Sometimes it is helpful to gently strike the bowl before you start the rubbing motion.

Pamela said when placing a bowl on your head, try to pick one that fits loosely over your head. Dr Oz said it felt as though his insides were vibrating. You can purchase bowls in specialty stores, I’ve even seen them on Amazon.com for way less than I imagined they would cost.

If you don’t have the Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowls all around your house, even though they are very attractive and make a nice decorative piece, you can bring vibration into your house by humming. Hum for 60-seconds when you have a stressful moment.

One of my favorite ways to listen to Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowls is to purchase a CD or upload to your iPod, iPad or computer, which can be purchased online or in specialty stores. This way you can listen to them on your lunch break, soaking in some sun in your new lounger, in bed at night as you drift off to sleep or even in the grocery store while shopping. Very relaxing way to free your body from stress.

I noticed that Amazon.com has a nice selection of Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowls on CD and Uploads available for any MP3 Player. Click Here to see more about Tibetan Singing Bowls

Herbal Medicine: Herbs and Food as Medicine

Our body is designed to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals from foods found in nature, helping us decrease inflammation. By keeping inflammation down, we are assisting all the systems of our body to function at peak performance and not cause any undue strain on the organs or the chakras, leaving us with ample amounts of vital energy.

Fenugreek is an ancient medicinal plant with a variety of health benefits that dates back 6000 years with roots in Egypt. This little herb is known for balancing digestive disorders, like acid reflux, by decreasing inflammation. Fenugreek helps lower blood sugar levels, which can be invaluable for type 1 and 2 diabetics, and is also used in Chinese medicine tonics for the kidneys. The seed is most commonly used ground up for teas or as a spice in curries for cooking. You can also grow your own fenugreek. As it grows, take the sprouts, rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, and eat them in a salad. Believe it or not… Fenugreek is available at Amazon.com in all forms, capsules, seeds, drops and more all at great sale prices.

Another key component in the health and vitality of the monks is their diet of anti-inflammatory foods, primarily barley, rice, and in-season fruits and vegetables that are pesticide-free.

The monks have also adapted the concept of “you are what you eat.” The denser or more complex the food, the denser the matter of the body and energetic field become. The monks, striving to maintain lightness of being, eat simple, easily digestible foods that provide a plethora of rich nutrients. This provides the body sustainability, as well as freeing the energetic systems to be open and expansive without sluggishness. This lightness allows for a more consistent presence or seat in consciousness, leaving one able to remain the observer, unattached to the pulls and hooks of the reactive world. This makes it possible to experience full, uninterrupted communing with the superconscious and the divine within.

Dr Oz: The 5 Tibetan Rites

These yoga-based exercises bring attention and alignment to those forces of matter, energy, and consciousness within us. When done regularly, they can calm the mind and slow down aging.

These specific exercises help us pulse vibrant energy through the body, helping to clear the chakras, bringing the body into balance. These exercises help maintain overall well-being in a number of ways:

• Remind the physical body of its strength and balance by giving it new variables to work with.
• Increase the vibrational rate within the heart/solar plexus chakras, increasing our digestion, emotional flexibility and receptivity.
• Connect the practitioner with the crown chakra, enlisting the cultivated life force energy to directly align with the divine and creating clarity of consciousness.

Tip For Yellow Toe Nails…

As Summer fast approaches… it’s time to dig out the Flip Flops and maybe the Nail Polish too cause you don’t want anyone to see your yellow toe nails right?

There are many reasons why Toe Nails get Yellow. The one you should be most concerned about is a fungal infection. You will probably have to go visit your doctor or a podiatrist for this one. But your toes may be yellow from running, standing too long, wearing certain colors of nail polish, tight shoes or even wearing very pointy shoes too, which may be a little easier to treat yourself at home. The problem is that it is pretty hard to tell the difference between a fungus and something else.

Here are some Home Remedy Tips to help with Yellow Toes Nails:

• try scrubbing your toenails with a nail brush and whitening toothpaste. It gets rid of the yellow color. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised and you will have minty fresh toes too!
• Tea Tree Oil is a potent natural antiseptic and fungicide that will help fight your fungus. Apply undiluted tea tree oil with olive oil to the affected toe nail. You can also put few drops of tea tree oil on your toenails and rub it thoroughly every day.
• Soak your toes in Listerine Mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy and minty fresh.
• Soak your toenails for 15 – 20 minutes in basin full of warm water and natural apple cider vinegar mixed in equal proportion. When done, dry your toenails thoroughly. Use a hair dryer on warm setting to absorb all the moisture in and around the toes.
• Put equal amount of tea tree oil and lavender oil on a cotton ball or swab. Dab it under the top edge of the toe nail and surrounding area 2 or 3 times a day. Tea tree oil is natural antibiotic and lavender will help fight the infection and prevent skin irritation.
• Blend 2 drops of Oregano Essential Oil with a tsp of olive oil. Apply this mixture on the affected area daily for NOT more than three weeks. Oregano essential oil has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiparasitical, antiviral, analgesic and antifungal properties.
• Apply AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) creams on to your feet before going to bed. This will flush the rough scaly skin from your feet that is more prone to growing fungus.

I hope you found some good tips for Yellow ToeNails above. Remember, if your yellow Toe Nails continue to be a problem… you will need to visit your doctor or podiatrist. You could have a nail fungus that may need medical attention.

Now that you have pretty toe nails and minty fresh feet full of energy… lets treat yourself to a new pair of Flip Flops to show off your pretty toes. You can find some great sales on FlipFlops this time of the year at: Amazon.com

A temporary solution for yellow toenails if you’re wearing flip flops today is: Apply a Nail Polish Base Coat to prevent further discoloration, then paint on a dark, nail polish to conceal your damaged toe nails. One of my favorite Toe Nail Colors is: Cover Girl CG Boundless Color Nail Polish in Plum Pudding

Have a Great Summer showing off your Toes : ))

Dr Oz: Big Bottom Fat Buster

Dr Oz says 2/3 of all women have this body type.

Studies show that a big butt isn’t as dangerous as belly fat, and in fact, your big bottom many even protect you from deadly diseases. Unfortunately, the backside is the first place you gain weight.

Kelly Anne, an audience member, told Dr Oz she felt she had a bigger bottom. She felt self-conscious, feeling everyone was looking at her when she walked down the street. She told Dr Oz that she would go to the gym more if she had a smaller bottom because she would look better in her tight fitting gym clothes. (Go to the gym AFTER losing weight? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? However, I totally get what she means!)

Dr Oz: Red Clover Fat Busting Meal

Fat Busting Meal:

Red clover meal – This meal contains very little fat and more carbs and protein.

Pasta Primavera:

• 2 Cups Red Clover Tea
• I Cup whole wheat pasta

• 1 can of tomatoes
• ½ Cup edamame

The secret is the red clover tea. Have 2 cups of tea with the pasta dinner to help regulate estrogen. For best fat busting results, have this meal once a day for 5 days. Red Clover Tea is available at: Amazon.com

Dr Oz Bonus Bottom Busting Tip: Sit on hard, firm seats for a non-workout workout.

Dr Oz: Big Belly Fat Buster Meal

Fifty percent of women have big bellies. This fat stored near the heart is dangerous because of increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. The good news is that it’s easier to lose belly fat than anywhere else on the body. If you trim 2-inches from your gut, you can reduce your risk of heart disease by 50 percent.

Kelly, an audience member, told Dr Oz that her kids constantly told her she had a marshmallow in her mid section. (Yet another reason to not have kids!) They tell her that she looks like a marshmallow on a stick.

Dr Oz: Fat Busting Meal: Poached Egg on English Muffin

CLA (Conjugated Lineolic Acid) breakfast. Eggs, cheese, CLA supplement.

• whole wheat english muffin

Dr Oz: Big On Top Fat Buster Meal

Women who are big on top (arms, chest) put the heart at risk. You can make the issue worse with stress and lack of protein.

Pamela, an audience member, stated that she didn’t like anyone hugging her because she was bigger on top. She avoided tube or tank tops because she’s embarrassed by her larger arms. She doesn’t even want to swim in her backyard pool because she doesn’t like putting on bathing suits. Pamela told Dr Oz that it was easy for her to lose weight on the bottom but it was almost impossible to lose weight on her top.

Dr Oz: Tex Mex Salad Recipe

Dr Oz: Big Thighs Fat Buster Meal

Fat on thighs is not metabolically active and being stored for the future. For those trying to fit in their skinny jeans, it’s a nightmare.

Christine, an audience member, told Dr Oz that she lost 40 lbs, but only from the waist up. She still had her thunder thighs. The bad news is, the thighs are the last place to lose weight. The good news; it’s still possible.

What To Do If You Cant Lose Weight – Change It Up

It doesn’t matter what you do, you can’t seem to lose weight and keep it off. You have tried any number of diet and exercise programs, and maybe even shed a few pounds… only to gain them all back. What to do if you can’t lose weight isn’t an easy question to answer. The reason it’s so difficult is that everybody is different, and what may work for one person won’t work for another. That being said, there are some things you can do to increase your odds of success and finally be able to take off that extra weight and keep it off.

If you are currently on a diet program but can’t seem to lose weight, then you need to take a closer look at the diet itself. See, the problem most likely isn’t you at all, but rather that the diet isn’t a good match for you and your goals. This is a more widespread problem than most people realize. Analyze the diet for the total number of calories you’re taking in, what foods it allows and doesn’t allow, and if what the exercise component is like (or if there even is one). All of these things should be considered before deciding if the diet itself is the problem. It’s important to do this, as you don’t want to make the wrong assumptions about something as important as your health.

Does that mean if the diet checks out as acceptable that the problem is you? Not necessarily. As mentioned earlier, everybody is unique, and we all have different metabolic rates and our bodies utilize the nutrients in our food differently as well. While the diet you’re currently on may work wonders for the majority of people, there is always the possibility that you are one of the many exceptions.

But what to do if you can’t lose weight and you know the diet is a good one for you? It’s at this point that you need to take a look at yourself. Are you really following it to letter? A lot of diets require you to follow them precisely; otherwise they may not be nearly as effective. Do you “cheat” just “once in a while”? It’s okay to have a treat from time to time, but those treats may be the reason why you’re not losing weight on your diet.

The good news is that there is a basic solution to all of this. It may take some trial and error, but it will be worth it once you start seeing the results you want. What you need to do is find a diet that fits with who you are, instead of trying to make yourself fit in with the diet. For example, if you absolutely must have a piece of chocolate cake on occasion, then find a diet program that allows you to have chocolate cake or better yet, find a chocolate cake recipe with less calories. I recently found a recipe from “Hungry Girls” that is basically one Box of Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake Mix and one 12oz can of Club Soda. Bake as directed. This eliminates everything else that you normally add like eggs and oil, thus cutting calories and fat as well. Normal Calories 290 vs Hungry Girls Recipe (using just Club Soda) Calories: 171

Now that you know what to do if you can’t lose weight, you can finally get rid of those extra pounds and keep them off for good.

Like I said… all diets are different for each person. The diet I did best on personally was the Cinch Diet. The Cinch Diet is powered by Leucine, which is what body builders and weight lifters use because it helps you burn the fat you don’t want and keep the muscle you do want. Keeping muscle also helps boost your metabolism.

Three Ways I Add Nutrition to My Kids’ Meals

Original Post by: Laura Evans on Mar 20, 2012 in Healthy Weight, Natural Nutrition Blog

Laura has three children, ages 8 to 17 years old. They are not only highly active, but they also have varying tastes in food and varying appetites. Because they are young, growing fast, and learning from her influence, she feels it’s especially important that she help them create healthful eating habits now. For her, it begins with creating nutritious meal options for them.

In general, she keeps a supply of the Shaklee Cinch Snack Bars on hand for when her children need a low-calorie, high-protein snack. Of course, each of her children favors a different flavor, so she keeps a Snack Bar Assortment Pack in their pantry at home.

Here go-to strategies for creating nutritious meals for her children:

1. Use soy protein whenever possible.

She always bakes with Shaklee Instant Soy Protein. As a rule of thumb, she substitute about 1/3 soy protein for every cup of flour that a recipe calls for. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of flour, she’ll change it to 2/3 cup of unbleached or wheat flour plus 1/3 cup of soy protein. And a favorite kitchen activity she can all do together with her kids is to make Shaklee protein snacks. Add a cup of Soy Protein to 1/3 cup Peanut Butter and ¼ cup of Honey. Mix the ingredients together like dough and then roll into Balls or Snakes or any shape you desire. Cover with Shredded Coconut or Chopped Nuts and refrigerate until hard. Her kids love these for dessert or as an afternoon snack! I will be trying these too, they sound delicious!! For adult healthy snacks… I would even add a couple teaspoons of Fiber Plan.

2. Sneak veggies in everywhere

Either celery with Peanut Butter or baby carrots make a great snack. Soups are another great meal to pile with veggies, such as carrots, spinach, broccoli, or celery. For example, she likes to cook carrots or celery in a stock pot and then puree in a food processor. This not only thickens the soup base, but her kids never even know the veggies are in there!

3. The more fresh fruit, the healthier.

At home, we call fruit “nature’s candy.” Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, and apples are always on hand in our kitchen. The berries are easy to grab by the handful, and we often bag a variety of berries and other cut-up fruit to take on the go. Another specialty in the Evans household is to replace sugary jams or jellies in a traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich with fresh fruit. They put berries or even bananas in the sandwich and smush them into the peanut butter. This sounds yummy too… I never thought about putting real fruit on a P & J Sandwich before.

Probably the most important thing is getting her children involved in deciding what to eat and being creative with meals. The more they are involved, the more likely they are to make healthier food choices when she’s not around—and that makes her a happy parent!
