Natalia Turapina

Natalia was born in a little village nestled in a vast forest near Siberia, Russia. She left her home at the age of twenty in order to discover the important purpose that compelled her since her childhood. She pursued her career as a successful singer, traveling to many places throughout the world. Then only three years into her journey she was faced with a devastating illness. During the next seven years she struggled physically and emotionally, enduring countless and unsuccessful traditional medical treatments. With an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness, Natalia left her singing career and embarked on a quest to overcome her condition. She finally found hope in holistic healing.

Her illness was cured. And even more importantly she found a whole new world of deep inner spiritual transformation and connections to the higher realms. While she was looking for healing, her true purpose had found her in the most Divine way. Natalia had become a student of metaphysical and esoteric arts. She has studied several different healing modalities and has earned various Certifications in alternative healing.

Today Natalia is a spiritual teacher, an intuitive reader, a crystal healer, a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, a transformational retreat facilitator, an alchemist and a writer. Natalia offers intuitive readings, distant and in person crystal healing sessions, nutritional consultations and creates her own high vibrational products.

Ryan Sarnataro (sarn – a – tar – o)

Ryan is the founder of Best Singing Bowls which is devoted to bringing high quality antique singing bowls back from the Himalayas. Ryan first encountered Tibetan style singing bowls in the early 1980s and was captivated by their sounds as well as the wisdom culture behind their creation. For many years Ryan was simply a collector of singing bowls and student of Buddhism. In that time he developed an acute ear, hearing very deeply into the sounds of bells and bowls. A decade ago, after realizing the seemingly inexhaustible supply of old bowls was running out, he decided to start a business focused on antiquity and sound. Ryan has traveled throughout Tibet, Nepal and Northern India and rings tens of thousands of singing bowls on a typical journey.

Natural Food & Healing

Ryan has a long history of study and professional activity in the areas of natural foods and the healing arts. He has always managed to combine personal interest with his vocation which is a great formula for a broad education. In the natural products industry he has worked to establish co-operatives, develop products, design production facilities and establish distribution channels both in the US and in the developing world. Ryan helped start one of the first wheatgrass juice companies, brought the first soymilk to California from Japan and helped found Maggie’s one of the first organic cotton clothing companies. He has been a promoter of organic and non-GMO agriculture and has interfaced with both the FDA and USDA on policy.

The Healing Arts

In the healing arts, Ryan has deep experience with nutrition and supplements along with various bodywork modalities. Over the decades he’s watched as knowledge has expanded and changed the paths to achieving optimal health. Ryan has worked with natural vision improvement, sports injury recovery and designed exercise and resistance training programs for people with paralysis due to spinal injuries.

Aimee Gardiner ~ Director of Rhode Islanders against mandated HPV vaccinations #NOHPVmandateRI

Aimee is from southern RI with two children. Living life preferring organic foods and natural remedies to support the healthy life of her family. A little over a year ago Aimee began sharing information and becoming an activist. Now today is a leader in fighting the HPV vaccine mandate and advocating for informed consent in RI.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a world-renowned gastrointestinal surgeon and researcher.

He has a strong interest in vaccine safety, and his studies led him (and many other researchers) to believe that there were problems with the three-combo vaccine of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). He was accused of fraud and fabricating studies that show a link between the MMR vaccine and bowel disease, present in many children with autism.

Dr. Wakefield’s research regarding the MMR vaccine and its link to bowel disease and autism was originally published in the Lancet. A journalist, Brian Deer, published an article in the British Medical Journal criticizing Dr. Wakefield and accusing him of fraud. As a result, the study in the Lancet was retracted. Dr. Wakefield, and one of the co-authors of the retracted article, Prof. John Walker-Smith, were barred from practicing medicine by the United Kingdom’s General Medical Council regulatory board.

What you will not read in the mainstream media, however, is that both the BMJ and Lancet have strong financial ties to the manufacturer of the MMR vaccine, Merck.

Dr. Wakefield is the author of two books, “Callous Disregard,Autism and Vaccines – The Truth Behind a Tragedy” and “Waging War on theAutistic Child.” He also directed, produced, and wrote the documentary Vaxxed.

Dealing with Glyphosate, Pesticides & Insecticides

2016-07-02T15:44:00.001-05:00

We have heard about the various issues with glyphosate, insecticides, and pesticides. These harmful chemicals find there way into our food supply even if we eat organic. They can not be washed off, cooked, or baked away no amount of heat will kill them. However, there are things we can do to avoid the harmful effects they can cause on our bodies the digestive tract and our overall health.

Two weeks ago I had a naturopathic doctor, Kami Dehler, on the podcast and the topic of glyphosate came up. She said if we tend our liver and keep it healthy we can avoid the harmful effects. I also asked her if by using the foot bath ionizer for detoxing if detoxing the liver and other was required, she said no. So, there is one more reason to use the foot bath ionizer for detoxing.

The Role of the Liver

The liver is a key player in our health and our digestive tract. One thing we must remember is 80% of our immune system is located in our digestive tract or our gut. Knowing this it is easy to see that our liver is an important player in our health.

Our liver is responsible for converting everything we eat, breath, and that is absorbed through our skin into substances which aid in sustaining us. The liver is important for our blood as it both forms and stores red blood cells. It also filters toxins from our blood at a quart per minute. In order to aid in keeping our immune response working at max the liver produces natural antihistamines.

The liver is important for digestion for without it the conversation of food into energy would be non-existent. While many organs are important for how the foods we eat are used and distributed, the liver is the most important. The function of the liver in the way of our food is to convert is especially important for fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. The bile secreted by the liver is important for the assimilation of food, along with ridding toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. Our blood flows straight into the intestinal tract of the liver where the liver tends to the various toxins in the food. This process is done before our blood goes into our bodies. This process is repeat as the blood goes through the liver again and again repeatedly cleansing the blood through the lymph system. This process continues until they are discharged through either the kidneys or bile from the liver.

Stress on the Liver

Due to the way we eat almost everyone suffers from a malfunctioning liver. This is due to our diets which are high in sugar, alcohol, fats and other foods which can contain preservatives, insecticides, pesticides, nitrates, and other toxins. When left unattended it becomes exhausted and no longer functions to detox the body the way it should. However, the liver is capable of rejuvenating it self and will continue to function even when cell damages has reached 80%. It is also capable of regenerating new cells under duress circumstances, but why would we want to tax our liver when we can support it for optimal health?

Detox

Detoxing the liver is not recommended as it is what naturally detoxes the body. However instead we want to support the liver so it continues to be healthy and function the way it was created to.

Support the Liver

There are various things we can do to support the liver and keep it functioning well and also relieve some of the burden it under goes. This is as easy as finding the right herbs, foods, essential oils, along with other natural remedies that fit are needs.

Herbs for Liver Support

Milk Thistle
Dandelion Leaf
Yellow Dock
Chicory
Peppermint

Susan Weed has a great article on the liver along the herbs listed above. Various sites showed other herbs, but upon more research they didn't make my list.

Crystals for Liver Support

Epidote
Malachite
Emerald
Dioptase
Tourmaline

Be sure to cleanse crystals before using them this can be done through various methods. Some of the easiest and fastest ways are to let filtered water flow over them or use a sage smudging stick. Once they are cleansed they can be programmed for their purpose this is as easy as saying a prayer or speaking the intention out loud. I like to sit with new crystals and play with them in my hand while meditating on how I want to program them.

When using crystals for health it is important to cleanse them on a regular basis.

The Crystal Vault has a great free e-book for cleaning and programming crystals.

Cleanse the Chakra for Liver Support

Our chakras play a role in our health and when they are blocked we may experience both emotional and health issues. Consider doing a charkra clearing meditation with a crystal over the third chakra which is the solar plexus. The color this chakra resonates with is yellow, so any yellow crystal will work. Crystals are very personal and I recommend purchasing one of your own. Choosing which crystal to use is easy just let your body guide you as it knows what it needs. The crystal you are attracted to is the one for you. It may be that you are attracted to more than one, go with it.

Essential Oils for Liver Support

Rosemary
Fennel
Cypress
Lemon
Thyme

Essential oils should be used with precaution when taking them orally. Dilute the oil as stated below then rub a small amount on the wrist to see if you have an adverse reaction. If not rub it on the 3rd chakra, the area where the liver sits, or on a reflexology point on the bottom of the foot. I can not stress enough how we are all different and our bodies know what it needs, so if you feel lead to use the oil on all of the areas or just one or two listen to your body. You can also add a drop or 2 to a crystal being used to clear the 3rd chakra.

Using Essential Oils Externally

Mix 2 drops of oil with 4 drops of carrier oil cut in half for elderly and children. Do not use on children under 7 years of age.

Foods for Liver Support

One thing to remember is we want to create a liver that is healthy and capable of detoxing our bodies as it was created to do, so chose organic whenever possible.

Almonds
Oats
Raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries
Garlic, of course
Grapefruit, do not eat if taken certain medications consult a health practitioner
Beets
Leafy green vegetables kale, spinach, dandelion, etc
Green tea not the extract
Avocado
Cruciferous vegetables broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, watercress
Lemon water not lemonade
Turmeric in my opinion everyone should use this on a daily basis
Walnuts
Carrots
Apples
Organic cold pressed oils like olive, hemp, and flax in moderation
Quinoa
Buckwheat spouted
Lime
Asparagus
Sweet Potatoes
Squash
Lentil
Onions
Zucchini
Artichoke
Chickpeas
Bone broth
Fermentations

Tend to Your Gut Health

The liver is important for a healthy immune system. Remember that 80% of our immune system is located in our guts and consist of good gut bacteria. It is important to tend to the gut bacteria incorporating fermentations into your diet such as kombucha, yogurt, keifer, sauerkraut, etc.

Exercise to Support the Liver

Exercise is one of the most important things we can do not just for our liver, but for overall health. Find some type of cardiovascular workout to get the heart pumping blood through out the body including the liver. Make sure it is something you enjoy or you won't do it. Cardio is anything that gets the heart rate up and us moving it can be as easy as dancing around to your favorite music as long as it's not a slow dance.

When we engage in certain types of exercises that cause our mid-section to contract and relax it stimulates various organs including the liver. Exercises that utilize the mid-section stimulate and tone the liver allowing it to function at full capacity.

A Spiritual Healing

2016-06-23T13:32:00.001-05:00

I first saw Micheila on YouTube and couldn't even tell you what I was searching for at the time. After watching one I was hooked and continued watching, then I started ~~stalking~~ following her on Facebook were she posts any channels she feels will benefit others. I have never been into those who can channel, but Micheila is different and I could feel her genuine energy radiating through her videos and posts on Facebook. When I contacted her to do the 4th Sunday podcast I wasn't sure she would say yes because she is so busy, but she did!!! I'm very excited to have her as my guest on the 4th Sunday of the month ODD podcast this Sunday June 26, 2016 from 3 pm - 5 pm central via Wolfspirit Radio.

All Podcasts

All of the podcasts are placed on our website and also YouTube the following week.

Micheila Sheldan

Micheila Sheldan serves as Executive Director of Flower of Life Center. In this capacity, she works closely with members and committees to evolve consciousness through many vehicles that promote positive growth and change. Micheila was drawn to Flower of Life as a member on a quest for resources and support from like-minded individuals. A mother of two, she became increasingly concerned about her children’s health in regard to toxins in our food, air, water and soil. This concern fuelled her research into issues such as GMO foods, water fluoridation, chem trails and equally harmful practices. At the same time, she became passionate about holistic health and well being as a result of overcoming chronic pain in her own life through a combination of diet, exercise, spiritual practices and Eastern medicine philosophies. Inspired by Flower of Life’s mission and goals and their similarity to her own, Micheila decided to volunteer her time to support the organization, eventually evolving into the executive director position.

Micheila’s personal background and beliefs, coupled with her professional and volunteer experience allows her to fulfill many roles within Flower of Life. She is currently marketing director for the group’s national conference, Awake and Empowered Expo, and takes an active role in Conscious Action, its activist arm. Micheila is an avid writer whose experience includes marketing, event planning, public relations, fundraising and sales, with specialized expertise in the environmental field.

Micheila is a psychic intuitive and channel who is able to connect with her Spirit Guides, Teachers, Ascended Masters and Guardian Angels, as well as those of others. Micheila is primarily clairaudient and able to relay detailed angelic teachings about the soul's path and purpose that uplift and improve the quality of life. In conducting individual readings regarding relationships, personal challenges and career, she has experienced astoundingly accurate results. Micheila has the ability to channel a variety of beings, including extraterrestrials, and answer questions about our history, current challenges and where we are headed in the future.

I encourage everyone to check out Micheila on YouTube.
