 Enjoy!

The humble cold is one of the most common illnesses, leading to more doctor visits and absences from school and the workforce than any other illness every year. So what causes you to catch colds? Technically you do not "catch" colds but, rather, become infected with a cold/flu bacteria or virus.

Whether you come down with a cold is due to the fact of whether your immune system is working at its best to ward off invaders. When we function at our optimal level, our immune system – which protects us from invading bacteria and other micro-organisms – can cope. However, when we are stressed our immune system is greatly challenged and that is when we spiral downwards because our healthy body frequency range is lowered, allowing the invading microbes to take over our system.

What is meant by Healthy Frequency Range?

Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. Every living thing has a frequency, including our brain and our bodies. Electrical frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), kilohertz (kHz), and megahertz (MHz). The average frequency of a healthy human body is between 62 – 78 Hz.

How is all of this known?

In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, a division of Eastern Washington State University, developed new equipment to measure electrical frequency in humans and foods. This equipment was used in a research study at Johns Hopkins University to determine the relationships between frequency and diseases. Tainio found the average frequency of a human body is between 62 – 78 Hz, the upper body being between 70 – 78 Hz and the lower from 62 – 70Hz..

Further support for these findings is given by Dr. Robert O. Becker M.D. in his book, The Body Electric, who also explains that a person’s health can be determined by the frequency of the person’s body.

Another doctor and scientist, whose research has been buried for some time but has managed to resurface due to the work of avid supporters, is Dr. Royal Raymond Rife M.D. who developed a frequency generator in the late 1920′s. In brief, Rife successfully treated 1,000 patients diagnosed with incurable cancer in the 1930′s. He was honoured with 14 awards and an honorary doctorate. After the unsuccessful attempt by pharmaceutical companies to buy out his research and equipment, his office was ransacked, his research paperwork was stolen and the machine that healed all those 1,000 "incurable" cancer patients was destroyed.

In 1934, before this destruction occurred, the University of Southern California appointed a Special Medical Research Committee to bring terminal cancer patients from Pasadena County Hospital to Rife’s San Diego Laboratory and clinic for treatment. The team included doctors and pathologists assigned to examine the patients – if still alive – in 90 days.

After the 90 days of treatment, the Committee concluded that 86.5% of the patients had been completely cured. The treatment was then adjusted and the remaining 13.5% of the patients also responded within the next four weeks. The total recovery rate using Rife’s technology was 100%, (http://www.rife.org) .

What Rife had developed was a 100% effective cure for many forms of cancer. So why do we not know about this and why are there so many cancer research foundations in existence? Put simply, it is due to the economic motives of the orthodox medical community, which relies on funding for cancer research – such funding often coming from pharmaceutical companies – and whose fortunes would be damaged if a cure for cancer was found. (That is, it’s OK to search for a cure but not really find one!)

"In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy." – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine (1937)

What Rife proved is that every health disorder has a frequency, which in turn responds (resonates) to a specific (optimal) frequency for its dissolving/healing in the body. People who maintain their optimal frequency, at least of their immune system, would prevent development of symptoms and illnesses associated with the common cold. Of course, in practise this does not work for most of us because, being human, we experience stress and emotional challenges on a daily basis, which lower our body’s frequency. Hence, we need to raise our body frequency regularly/daily with the right substances that are compatible at the cellular and energetic level of our being, rather than wait until our body frequency has dropped so low that it becomes a friendly host for microscopic invaders.

 

How can this be proven?

 

According to a report (Epidemiology, May 2001; 11:345-349), psychological stress – particularly the chronic type that may accompany a personality with a negative outlook – is a risk factor for contracting colds. An optimistic outlook and outgoing personality seemed to protect individuals, researchers found.

 

The findings indicate that high levels of psychological stress are closely associated with contracting the common cold. While the common cold is rarely a serious health hazard, it is responsible for about 30 million days of lost work in the U.S. alone each year.

 

To investigate whether stress increased the likelihood of developing a cold, the researchers surveyed more than 1,100 Spanish university staff and students at regular intervals over a one year period. The study focused on different types of stress, including stress from life events, perceived stress, having a generally negative outlook, anxious or compulsive personality, compared with having a positive outlook/attitude to life.

 

Individuals with a negative outlook were at greatest risk of developing colds – regardless of their intake of vitamin C and zinc or their smoking and drinking habits.

 

The next highest-risk individuals were those who believed that they were under stress. These people were nearly three times as likely to develop a cold, according to the report.

 

Why should Antibiotics be avoided?

 

Colds can be contracted as the result of contact with more than 200 different viruses. However, among all of the cold viruses, the rhinovirus and the coronavirus cause the majority of colds. Each time you have a cold, it is caused by a distinct virus – e.g. adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, and coronavirus. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. They are tiny clusters of genetic material surrounded by a protein ‘wrapper’.

 

Medical science currently does not have any drugs that can kill these viruses. Antibiotics, including penicillin, do not have any effect on viruses. They are only used to treat secondary bacterial infections that can further complicate the effects of a cold.

 

How Are Colds Actually Contracted?

 

The most common source of infection is not from coughing or sneezing, or walking barefoot in the rain, but from hand-to-hand contact. That is why, when you have a cold, washing your hands frequently is very important. The likelihood of contracting the cold virus increases, however, if one is overtired and physically exhausted.

 

Most uncomplicated colds last eight to nine days; about 25% last two weeks; and 5-10% last three weeks.

 

As long as one’s temperature remains below 38.8 degrees Celsius, there is no need to lower it. Cold viruses do not reproduce at higher body temperatures. In fact, a slight fever should help us get rid of the virus quicker and feel better much sooner. It is our body’s own way of ridding itself of toxins.

 

Why are Aspirin and Tylenol counterproductive?

 

A study (J Infect Dis, Dec 1990; 162(6):1277-82) showed that people who take aspirin and Tylenol (acetaminophen) suppress their body’s ability to produce antibodies that destroy the cold virus. This actually causes the body to take longer to fight the cold and it accounts for any secondary infections and post-nasal drip.

 

What Can Be Done to Prevent Getting the Common Cold?

 

While orthodox medicine does not have the answer for colds and ‘flu’, nature does – it comes in the form of pure organic unadulterated Therapeutic Essential Oils. Why? Because they are made up of very high frequency molecules (ranging from 52MHz to 320MHz) and contain nature’s wisdom and power to raise the body’s frequency and to assist our immune system in fighting viral invasions.

 

For greater clarity, organic Therapeutic Essential Oils are not the same as everyday aromatherapy oils, which are produced for fragrance and other purposes.

 

We now know that, in order to prevent colds, we need our immune system to be working in top gear and our overall body frequency to be in its optimal range. Our optimal range of body frequency can be lowered by negative thoughts/emotions, stress, blood chemistry imbalance, and ingested chemicals, which allow us to contract colds and viruses in the first place. Research has found that the high frequency of essential oils creates an environment where bacteria, fungi and viruses cannot survive. Essential oils provide a high frequency environment for the body.

 

Researchers have found that some essential oils – oregano, thyme and rosewood oils, in particular – create an autolytic (destruction of cells and tissues by enzymes produced by the cells, themselves) reaction in organisms, including streptococcus pneumonia. Dr. Diane Horne of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, told the 98th general assembly of the American Society of Microbiology about the serendipitous discovery of the impact of essential oils on cells such as streptococcus pneumonia (bacteria that causes a very serious type of pneumonia in children with sickle cell disease).

 

 

 

 

When Dr. Horne’s co-researcher was spraying aromatic oils in the laboratory, Dr. Horne looked at the streptococcus pneumonia bacteria that she was preparing for another experiment and noticed that its cells were literally falling apart. Dr. Horne and co-worker Sue Chao, of the Young Living Essential Oils Company of Payton, Utah, tested the autolyzing properties of 74 essential oils and discovered that the best results occurred with oregano, thyme and rosewood and that intermediate inhibition of the pathogens was achieved with cinnamon oil and clove oil. Dr. Horne pointed out that the oils also proved to be a powerful remedy against E. coli (a bacterium and virus in one) and several species of fungi.

 

What these tests revealed is that essential oils, such as oregano, clove, cinnamon, rosewood and rosemary, are so powerful that viruses and bacteria cannot survive in their presence. That is, the viruses and bacteria are destroyed when they come into contact with these therapeutic essential oils.

 

Dr. Horne and the Young Living Essential Oils company are not the only ones who now use therapeutic essential oils for destroying viruses and bacteria. Up until a decade ago, France was the forerunner of medical aromatherapy, where essential oils are encapsulated and prescribed to be taken orally or as suppositories by the patient.

 

French aromatherapy doctors employ the aromatogram, where a sample is taken from the infected area of the patient, cultivated in a laboratory, and then subjected to various essential oils to find the most effective oil to treat the infection for the specific patient.

 

They have found that different oil combinations work better when the oil combination is specifically blended for a patient. Even if various patients suffer from the same strain of bacteria, some oils seem to work better on certain people than on others.

 

While this is an over-simplification of the serious medicinal aspects of aromatherapy, it is helpful, nevertheless, in demonstrating the effectiveness of therapeutic essential oils in the medical arena.
In this particular field of essential oil therapy, there are some prominent medical doctors, such as Dr. Lapraz and Dr. Duraffourd of Paris, who have undertaken thousands of clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of essential oils in medical applications.

 

How Do Essential Oils Exert Such Powerful Effects In Our Bodies

 

Chemically, essential oils’ cell structure is very similar to the human cell structure. The essential oil of a plant and the human blood share several common properties.

 

The 4 primary elements in both human beings and essential oils:

 

* Plant Cells – carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen

 

* Human Cells – carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen

 

This shared chemistry makes essential oils one of the most compatible of all plant substances with human biochemistry. In addition, essential oils have a protein-like structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues, which allows the human protein cell structure to readily identify and accept the chemical constituents (powerful healing properties) of essential oils.

 

Essential oils have been proven to fight infection, improve the immune system and, because they contain hormone-like compounds, are very effective in initiating cellular/tissue regeneration. Why do they do this? Simply, because it is their job; because Mother Nature intended them to do so in order to protect the plants, themselves. Let’s examine how…

 

Working as the chemical defence mechanism of the plant, essential oils possess potent antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties. Essential oils are the plant liquid containing the Life Force of a plant. Analogous with the human body, essential oils are the blood plasma of a plant. They are volatile liquids distilled from various parts of plants, including seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit (essential oils are sensitive to heat and should not be burned, as that destroys their therapeutic properties).

 

If a leaf or any part of a plant has been cut or damaged for some reason, the plant releases a liquid substance that protects it from further damage from microbes, bacteria, and viruses, and helps the plant to regenerate itself. This liquid is the essential oil that helps the plant to survive, which is why essential oils are called essential. Put simply, without it, the plant can’t survive. This same principle works in a very similar way in the human body, due to the fact that essential oils can permeate our tissues by being so highly compatible with our cell structure. How can this be possible?
It is possible because essential oils are complex substances, each containing 80 – 300 compounds of different chemical constituents, and all these compounds work synergistically. Hence, nature’s wisdom is encoded in the life force of a plant. Because essential oils are the life force of a plant, they need to be treated with the utmost professional respect and understating in order to retain their powerful healing properties.

 

 

 

So, how therapeutic are they?

 

Just follow your nose! The smell of the oil reveals how pure and potent it is. For example, when inhaling any oil – particularly peppermint, lavender or rosemary – the smell should linger on in the brain and have a very fresh smell. If it has a very sharp tinge to it or causes a sudden sharp sensation in the any part of the head, it contains chemicals which are ‘playing’ with the neurotransmitters and receptor sites in your brain. It also helps if you ask the company where and how they distill the oils and what chemicals are used. Many essential oil companies still use solvents in the process of distillation. You can tell by the smell. Why do they do it? Because distillation is a very expensive process, which requires time, care and integrity.

 

A brief look at some essential oils and the results of research so far:

 

Oregano is very aggressive against all microbes and it helps with digestive problems and is anti-inflammatory. Oregano and cinnamon tested at 95% efficiency against candida, E. coli and streptococcus strains.

 

Thyme oil is very powerful oil on viruses and has demonstrated protective properties for liver, kidneys and the heart due to its very high antioxidant properties.

 

Fennel oil, strengthens digestion, expels parasites and supports and raises overall metabolism.

 

Fennel and Juniper together exert a warming effect on the kidneys; very helpful during winter.

 

Cinnamon is 99.9% effective against all viruses. Ebola virus cannot survive in the presence of pure unadulterated cinnamon.

 

Rosemary is effective for parasites, fungi and, therefore, candida.

 

Clove is highly protective, and is the most powerful antioxidant in nature.

 

In summary, orthodox medicine has no cure for the common cold and the latest mainstream advice for preventing colds comes from studies on stress, stating to just avoid stress. This is neither possible nor realistic for the majority of the population as stress is always there in some way, emotional or just the demands of the 21st century. Extensive scientific research has proven that essential oils are quite capable of fighting the common cold because they are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory.

 

Using Grade-A organic therapeutic essential oils may help your immune system to ward off the attacks of the common cold as well as destroy other microbial invasions, such as candida infections, viruses and parasites. As essential oils are very high frequency molecules, ranging from 52MHz – 320MHz, they are able to raise our overall body frequency (which is 62-78 Hz when in its healthy range) every time we use them. This way, essential oils are the best ammunition against the common cold as well as destroying unwelcome microbial invasions, along with the daily dose of genuine positive thinking.

"Massage and movement stimulates circulation. Life is in the blood. The body repairs itself when it is functioning optimally. Increased circulation enhances youthfulness and vitality. Everyone needs massage and movement on a regular consistent basis to be optimally healthy. " author unknown

I wanted to share this quote with you because there is so much truth in it. There are as many types of massage as there are massage therapists.Individual and unique yet with common threads running throughout the modality called therapeutic massage.  It simply is one of the best ways to support your precious body in true wellness.

Let’s look at some information about the benefits of massage and movement….
Physical and mental oxygenation through movement and massage can increase  your energy and focus, can raise your metabolic rate, can improve your blood circulation and can activate your lymphatic system’s detoxification.

The mind moves into alertness and mental focus. Your natural chi or life force energy, can be stimulated and enhanced. It can help eliminate stress.

The brain can also move into an Alpha state which thereby creates a peaceful, meditative state of calmness, mind/body healing and wellness. Often after massage or meditative movement we can find ourselves in an altered state.

Movement of your body  can  create cellular oxygenation allowing:
  •  Reduction in muscle soreness, tension, stiffness, body aches and pains.
  • Improved flexibility of muscles and joints, more limber – spinal alignment.
  •  Improved function and regulation of internal organs and body systems.
  •  Improved circulation of the blood – activated lymph drainage and detoxification.
  •  Alleviation of stress related conditions – headaches, anxiety, depression.
  •  The brain shifts into a relaxed Alpha brainwave state – mental focus.
  • Steady weight loss correction if under or over weight, or menopausal (plus diet adjustment).
  • Sound, restful sleep – increased energy, a wonderful sense of well-being.

These are just a few of the benefits one can receive from consistent movement and massage.

If you have never received a massage or do not have gentle movement built into your daily life, please consider exploring this wonderful modality.

What are the Therapeutic Benefits of the CZ Infrared Heater?

Far-infrared heat has many therapeutic effects on the body due to it’s penetrating ability deep into the tissues.  Other forms of heat or light do not penetrate as far below the surface of the body.
As the Infrared heat penetrates the skin, the light energy is transformed into thermal energy.  This deep tissue heat in turn produces many health benefits such as:

  • Improved circulation
  • Stimulates cellular metabolism which increases oxygenation and detoxification of the cells
  • Stimulates regeneration and healing
  • Reduces inflammation, swelling and pain
  • Increases flexibility in muscles and joints
  • Provides penetrating warmth

Far-infrared has gained tremendous popularity and is widely used now in many applications, from providing warmth for premature and newborn babies in incubators to adjunctive treatment in cancer therapy.

An additional and important component of the CZ Infrared heater is the interaction of the infrared waves with the copper ionization panels in the heating chamber, generating beneficial negative ions which are released into the air.

Negative ions have a profoundly enhancing effect on overall health and well-being.  It is that supercharged invigorating feeling that you get when standing by a waterfall or after a rain.

Negative ions also have a cleansing effect on the atmosphere, neutralizing pollutants such as smoke, dust and many other pollutants.

Conventional heat sources produce just the opposite, positive ions, which cause irritation and fatigue and general malaise in the body.  Positive ions are abundant in areas where there is high pollution and smog.

The CZ Infrared heater not only produces the most efficient and effective heat, but it is the only heater that actually improves your overall air quality as it heats.  Besides it’s production of therapeutic far-infrared heat and it’s negative ion generating ability, we have also added a lifetime electrostatic air filter that filters out dust particles.

We have received some wonderful feedback from our customers with health challenges that have remarked on how better their joints feel, and how much easier their breathing is and how much less skin and sinus irritation they are experiencing, even so much as to mention that they notice a lesser incidence of colds and flus in the winter since they started heating with the CZ Infrared heater.

Diminished indoor air quality caused by most heaters in the winter is one reason that the body is more susceptible to colds and flus and sickness during this season.

Truly, the CZ Infrared heater is so much more than just an effective heater. It provides wonderful, fresh, oxygen rich air and very comfortable, cozy, soft, natural therapeutic heat.

Self-Health Essentials Radio Interview by Joan Newcomb
 
 
Tessa and Robert Brauer Close Up and Personal                        
 
 
 
 
www. Self-HealthEssentials.com

The following is an interview of Tessa and Robert Brauer by Joan Newcomb on Contact Radio. This interview took place on April 7, 2009. This interview offers you some telling insights into their views on health, their passions and gifts. It gives you a deeper feel for who they are and what they can offer you in Life-Force Nutritional Coaching.

 Enjoy!
 
How did you come to offer the things that you offer?

T-Joan, May I take a moment to appreciate you and each person hearing my voice? Thank you for inviting us to your radio show. I also am appreciating each person listening for joining us in our conversation. Self-Health Essentials is the name of our website as well as our philosophy around wellness. We believe health, be it physical, emotional, or energetic is an essential personal journey. We offer informational articles, services and products that we have found essential to our own self- health. We speak from a very personal perspective and celebrate the empowerment of others in their personal path to self- health.

R – For me I grew up listening to my heart, although I didn’t call it that at first. I also always had a   strong sense of self honesty and a desire to know truth.That led me to a study of spiritual teachings, metaphysics, science, psychology, counseling, business, and the study of nutrition. My study of spiritual teachings opened me to meditation and contemplation and the appreciation of simple spiritual practices like being kind to self and others and having respect for all life. Along the way I honed my skill of listening and found that what I had been doing naturally was deeply intuitive. At some point on my path I started attracting to myself teachers and masters and I have become a practitioner of Matrix Energetics and the Yuen Method. I call myself a Life-Force consultant because I focus on what promotes life in my practice.
Flashback about 27 years when I met Tessa, my wife, best friend, and mirror. She and I have developed a synergy to our slightly different but complementary skills and now work together with the mission of sharing with others practical tools, learned from experience, that we call self-health essentials.
 
 
 
What is your passion?
T-I have many passions! The two I am hearing to share today are: I love to do distance Self-Health Energetics sessions. I love to witness the phenomenal personal “ahas” my clients experience during our sessions. To be in the presence of another’s light of self-recognition is pure joy for me! I am also passionate about designing self-healthy life style and nutritional programs that are rich in life force as well as simply successful. This is another source of joy for me!
 

R – I have always had an interest in nutrition. About 30 years ago that interest grew into a passion. Since then I have used my body as kind of a test laboratory. Testing one diet or fast after another, after awhile my changes became fewer as I began to recognize a natural relationship to food that I believe man has mainly lost. The good thing is we can reclaim a healthy respect for the food we eat, in fact through my research I have learned that eating in harmony with nature is backed by science and numerous studies.

 
What is the difference between calendar age and biological age?
 

R – Well calendar age is the number were used to thinking about when we consider our relationship to when we were born. The problem with this way of looking at ourselves is that it has been overlaid with a lot of programming that says as you get older certain things happen, like your ability to move around, your health, mental function, and your ability to enjoy life all suffer, which is not true. It’s a very strong thought form in developed counties around the world.

 

In contrast, biological age is the health and integrity of your body and its various organs and tissues. All of us probably know someone who looks and feels 20 or more years younger than their calendar age. Why is that? Well, if you ask these people questions about how they live, certain common things begin to surface. These people have a strong sense of self-determination that is flavored by their taking responsibility for the things in their lives. They enjoy life. They care about something more than themselves. And, they take care of themselves, which includes what they eat and exercise. After being around people like this you come away with an up, light feeling, which I feel is the joy of feeling alive. Very low on this list, if it’s there at all, is the common reply most heard that it’s probably genetics.

 

In our practice and on our website we share with others practical tools for making the shift away from a calendar age way of being to a biological age way of being.

What is Useful Magic?

T-Useful Magic is a phrase that came to me after a session with a client who was experiencing a dental dilemma. May I refer our listeners to our website Blog article titled Useful Magic for the specifics of her success? I blend intuitive energetics with self-healthy references into Self-Health Energetics, which is supercharged by Matrix Energetics and Yuen and a dozen other methods I am trained in. My clients find these sessions very useful in navigating life experiences. IE the name Useful Magic. Isn’t that truly the way we could be living in ways that seem magical.

 
What is your personal peak health experience?

T-My personal peak health experience is a 67-day juice cleanse, Robert and I did together. 67 days of raw veggie juices with a veggie potassium broth in the evenings. I have many stories from that cleanse. I can still remember the image of a hamburger floating in my consciousness for days somewhere around day 45. Hmmmmm! The cleanse was an amazing journey in the power of life force and the transformational power of enzyme rich raw veggie juices.

R – I have come to view health as a journey and not a destination. Early on in my personal health journey I would come upon certain benchmarks that could be labeled a peak health experience only later to find that my health would be setback by some temporary healing crisis or retracing. What I learned, is that the body in its infinite wisdom, because of the good things I was continually doing for myself, was able to eliminate old incomplete illness patterns or toxicity that were not completely dealt with when they originally occurred. The body doesn’t forget old health transgressions it just stores them so that at a future time when it has the energy it can clean house. After a number of years my healing crisis became less of a factor until now I rarely experience physical distress. I wake up feeling refreshed, after a good nights sleep, with constant energy throughout the day into the night. Can you remember a time, perhaps when you were really young, when you were eager to face the day and have fun playing? We often forget how those times felt because we have become use to how our current state of health feels and assume that it’s just the way it is. I believe that now my personal peak health experience is sharing with others the reality that we can feel eager to face the day again and that it’s a precious gift as soul to be alive in a physical body.
 
What kinds of things are people dealing with when they seek your nutritional services?

T-We attract clients who want to be guided and empowered. They are self-starters who lead busy lives and want guidance in nutritionally sound; life force enriched strategies so that their personal wellness matches their vibrant life styles! We also attract clients who desire guidance in adrenal rejuvenation, weight reduction and Age(less)living.

R – A lot of people I see have physical energy issues, hormonal imbalances like adrenal burnout and low thyroid levels, sleep disturbances, weight issues, allergies and digestive problems. Most of these can be alleviated by making the proper diet and lifestyle changes. But there is also the emotional and psychological aspects related to these same issues as well as to recurrent negative patterns in their lives that they would like help being resolved. There is often various levels that subconsciously interfere with a person taking positive steps toward realizing their health and life goals. I help people with these things, sometimes in working with a client; we get insights into the reasons behind a stuck pattern – like a forgotten unnecessary belief pattern. Other times it’s not necessary to know the reason, a shift is felt and it’s like walking through a door into a new way of being with the old pattern left behind. It’s all very personal, everyone and every session is different.

Anything else you want our listeners to know?
 
T- Joan, There is a relationship that we each have with Self….with our health and with our bodies. That is a key element to successfully navigating the many storms life may present us. You mentioned that Robert and I have been married 27 years, might I mention happily married….We have discovered many secrets in our relationship. I will share one with you and your listeners. To achieve success in your relationship with your health or wealth you must first begin with your inner relationships….with your personal relationships with your heart and your body…with yourself. I love to guide others in learning how to communicate in real time with their own bodies—to learn how to listen and relate—to learn how to translate that information into self-healthy action steps in their lives.We know you can achieve radiant self-health if you want it! Contact us at Self-Health Essentials.com. We have the experience and the passion to empower you in your personal journey to self-health!
 
Thank you Joan !

How can hidden emotions affect your health?
 
www.SelfHealthEssentials.com
 

Hello, This is Tessa writing you today. I just had the honor of facilitating a distance session with a young mother and her daughter. I feel so very privileged to be a part of someone’s personal steps in transformational evolution.

May I share a bit with you about my perceptions?

I have been experiencing personal transformational evolution for decades through personal work as well as group work facilitated by gifted instructors. I discovered long ago that if I did not attend to my emotional ‘baggage’ I would find life on Earth a bit uncomfortable. In my session work with clients I have also observed the results of ignoring or pretending the emotional traumas are not there.

Please know I do not hold a degree in counseling or psychology. I have earned my abilities through years of personal work and client support work. I have always been perceptive in ‘emotional’ language and have developed my own skill set and information base called Self-Health Essentials ie S.H.E.  I have tested this system and I trust it.

I have long held that I my clients are my very best teachers.

Today’s session once again showed me the significant blessings that are contained in S.H.E. distance session work. This young mother not only released emotional patterns that had been with her since childhood and before but also assisted her 4-year-old daughter in releasing hers patterns. She saw threw a real life experience how some old emotional patterns that she had released in her last session of S.H.E. were mirrored back to her in her daughter. Before her session with Self-Health Energetics she could not perceive the pattern. When it was gone, her new open clarity made it so very evident and gave her tools with which to free her young daughter before she too created a lifetime of being the effect of that limiting emotional perception.

My client shared some of her physical sensations as she allowed herself to ‘feel’ emotional patterns that had kept her ‘ boxed in ‘ all of her life. She mentioned nausea, hyper-ventilation, chest pain and vertigo.  Each of these are listed as ‘symptoms’ in many illnesses. Research has shown how trapped emotions can lower the immune function, create symptoms like allergies, exhausted adrenal function, mood disorders, affect blood sugar, affect headaches and body aches. She noted that in the past she would not have been able to move when these ‘symptoms’ appeared. Now she not only moved but was able to experience a profound interaction.  She embraced an opportunity and expanded her life choices because of it. How useful is that?                                                    

I am simply thrilled for her! I am indeed blessed to have gathered so many energetic ‘tools’ that have gone into creating Self-Health Energetics. I consistently use them on myself. I KNOW people CAN change their lives, their health, their world, for I have done it myself.

I remember a teacher sharing the phrase…’emotion is energy in motion’…I am reminded that as one shifts an emotion and releases emotional traumas and emotional walls that in a split second the energy in motion moves new possibilities into not only their life but also each life that they touch. Our world is quantum and holographic.

But more about that later!
 
Thank you for reading. I am celebrating you with you!

Self-Health Essentials Radio Interview
 
Meet Tessa and Robert Brauer and Learn more about what they can offer YOU!

www. Self-HealthEssentials.com

 

The following is an interview of Tessa and Robert Brauer by Joan Newcomb on Contact Radio. This interview took place on April 7, 2009. This interview offers you some telling insights into their views on health, their passions and gifts. It gives you a deeper feel for who they are and what they can offer you in Self-Health Essential Consultations and Life-Force Coaching.

Enjoy!

How did you come to offer the things that you offer? T-Joan, May I take a moment to appreciate you and each person hearing my voice? Thank you for inviting us to your radio show. I also am appreciating each person listening for joining us in our conversation. Self-Health Essentials is the name of our website as well as our philosophy around wellness. We believe health, be it physical, emotional, or energetic is an essential personal journey. We offer informational articles, services and products that we have found essential to our own self- health. We speak from a very personal perspective and celebrate the empowerment of others in their personal path to self- health.

R – For me I grew up listening to my heart, although I didn’t call it that at first. I also always had a   strong sense of self honesty and a desire to know truth.That led me to a study of spiritual teachings, metaphysics, science, psychology, counseling, business, and the study of nutrition. My study of spiritual teachings opened me to meditation and contemplation and the appreciation of simple spiritual practices like being kind to self and others and having respect for all life. Along the way I honed my skill of listening and found that what I had been doing naturally was deeply intuitive. At some point on my path I started attracting to myself teachers and masters and I have become a practitioner of Matrix Energetics and the Yuen Method. I call myself a Life-Force consultant  because I focus on what promotes life in my practice.
Flashback about 27 years when I met Tessa, my wife, best friend, and mirror. She and I have developed a synergy to our slightly different but complementary skills and now work together with the mission of sharing with others practical tools, learned from experience, that we call self-health essentials.
 
What is your passion?  T-I have many passions! The two I am hearing to share today are: I love to do distance Self-Health Energetics sessions. I love to witness the phenomenal personal “ahas” my clients experience during our sessions. To be in the presence of another’s light of self-recognition is pure joy for me! I am also passionate about designing self-healthy life style and nutritional programs that are rich in life force as well as simply successful. This is another source of joy for me!

R – I have always had an interest in nutrition. About 30 years ago that interest grew into a passion. Since then I have used my body as kind of a test laboratory. Testing one diet or fast after another, after awhile my changes became fewer as I began to recognize a natural relationship to food that I believe man has mainly lost. The good thing is we can reclaim a healthy respect for the food we eat, in fact through my research I have learned that eating in harmony with nature is backed by science and numerous studies.

What is the difference between calendar age and biological age?  R – Well calendar age is the number were used to thinking about when we consider our relationship to when we were born. The problem with this way of looking at ourselves is that it has been overlaid with a lot of programming that says as you get older certain things happen, like your ability to move around, your health, mental function, and your ability to enjoy life all suffer, which is not true. It’s a very strong thought form in developed counties around the world.

In contrast, biological age is the health and integrity of your body and its various organs and tissues. All of us probably know someone who looks and feels 20 or more years younger than their calendar age. Why is that? Well, if you ask these people questions about how they live, certain common things begin to surface. These people have a strong sense of self-determination that is flavored by their taking responsibility for the things in their lives. They enjoy life. They care about something more than themselves. And, they take care of themselves, which includes what they eat and exercise. After being around people like this you come away with an up, light feeling, which I feel is the joy of feeling alive. Very low on this list, if it is there at all, is the common reply most heard that it’s probably genetics.

In our practice and on our website we share with others practical tools for making the shift away from a calendar age way of being to a biological age way of being.

What is Useful Magic? T-Useful Magic is a phrase that came to me after a session with a client who was experiencing a dental dilemma. May I refer our listeners to our website Blog article titled Useful Magic for the specifics of her success? I blend intuitive energetics with self-healthy references into Self-Health Energetics, which is supercharged by Matrix Energetics and Yuen and a dozen other methods I am trained in. My clients find these sessions very useful in navigating life experiences. IE the name Useful Magic. Isn’t that truly the way we could be living in ways that seem magical.

What is your personal peak health experience? T-My personal peak health experience is a 67-day juice cleanse, Robert and I did together. 67 days of raw veggie juices with a veggie potassium broth in the evenings. I have many stories from that cleanse. I can still remember the image of a hamburger floating in my consciousness for days somewhere around day 45. Hmmmmm! The cleanse was an amazing journey in the power of life force and the transformational power of enzyme rich raw veggie juices.

R – I have come to view health as a journey and not a destination. Early on in my personal health journey I would come upon certain benchmarks that could be labeled a peak health experience only later to find that my health would be setback by some temporary healing crisis or retracing. What I learned, is that the body in its infinite wisdom, because of the good things I was continually doing for myself, was able to eliminate old incomplete illness patterns or toxicity that were not completely dealt with when they originally occurred. The body doesn’t forget old health transgressions it just stores them so that at a future time when it has the energy it can clean house. After a number of years my healing crisis became less of a factor until now I rarely experience physical distress. I wake up feeling refreshed, after a good nights sleep, with constant energy throughout the day into the night. Can you remember a time, perhaps when you were really young, when you were eager to face the day and have fun playing? We often forget how those times felt because we have become use to how our current state of health feels and assume that it’s just the way it is. I believe that now my personal peak health experience is sharing with others the reality that we can feel eager to face the day again and that it’s a precious gift as soul to be alive in a physical body.

What kinds of things are people dealing with when they seek your services? T-We attract clients who want to be guided and empowered. They are self-starters who lead busy lives and want guidance in nutritionally sound; life force enriched strategies so that their personal wellness matches their vibrant life styles! We also attract clients who desire guidance in adrenal rejuvenation, weight reduction and Age(less)living.

R – A lot of people I see have physical energy issues, hormonal imbalances like adrenal burnout and low thyroid levels, sleep disturbances, weight issues, allergies and digestive problems. Most of these can be alleviated by making the proper diet and lifestyle changes. But there is also the emotional and psychological aspects related to these same issues as well as to recurrent negative patterns in their lives that they would like help being resolved. There is often various levels that subconsciously interfere with a person taking positive steps toward realizing their health and life goals. I help people with these things, sometimes in working with a client; we get insights into the reasons behind a stuck pattern – like a forgotten unnecessary belief pattern. Other times it’s not necessary to know the reason, a shift is felt and it’s like walking through a door into a new way of being with the old pattern left behind. It’s all very personal, everyone and every session is different.

Anything else you want our listeners to know? T- Joan, There is a relationship that we each have with Self….with our health and with our bodies. That is a key element to successfully navigating the many storms life may present us. You mentioned that Robert and I have been married 27 years, might I mention happily married….We have discovered many secrets in our relationship. I will share one with you and your listeners. To achieve success in your relationship with your health or wealth you must first begin with your inner relationships….with your personal relationships with your heart and your body. I love to guide others in learning how to communicate in real time with their own bodies—to learn how to listen and relate—to learn how to translate that information into self-healthy action steps in their lives.We know you can achieve radiant self-health if you want it! Contact us at Self-Health Essentials.com. We have the experience and the passion to empower you in your personal journey to self-health!
Thank you Joan !

 Useful Magic

 

www.Self-HealthEssentials.com

Hello, this is Tessa from Self-Health Essentials. The story below so touched me I wanted to share it with you in this form. This is a sharing from one heart to another. I know I am only the conduit for the possibility that is available to each one of us. It is an honor for me to witness and facilitate Self-Health Energetics (Matrix/Yuen + more) sessions like this one.

"On 2/16, I called a new dentist’s office (one who uses laser technology)  to schedule a cleaning before I left town for 3 months–needed to have it done within the next 3 weeks.  I was told that I had to have an exam first as cleaning was a treatment and exams were required before any treatment.  The dentist’s office scheduled a new patient exam for me on 2/18.
 
The dentist told me a crown needed to be removed as there was a cavity underneath, and that there was a strong possibility I would need a root canal or implant.  I was opposed to having either and discussed this with him. I even considered having the tooth pulled. At the time to schedule the cleaning and appointment for the crown, I was told the crown appointment would be 1 month out and the cleaning 2 months out.  I told  the scheduler this was not acceptable, she said I could go on their short list.
 
When I returned home, I called Tessa to ask for her help in opening a window of opportunity for these appointments, to have it all completed within the next 3 weeks.  Tessa also recommended I do work on saving my tooth instead of a root canal or implant. Tessa said she would create a distance session around this for me.
 
On the morning of 2/19, the dentist’s office called and they had an opening for a cleaning that afternoon so I took that appointment. Then on 2/26, they called and said there was an opening on 3/2 for the crown work which I also took.
 
On 3/2, my appointment with the dentist lasted for 3 hours.  The dentist told me it was the toughest and most difficult process he had ever done and he has done hundreds of crowns.  He was amazed at how many prior fillings needed to be removed and that we were able to save the tooth.
 
Thanks to the laser technology, he made the crown there in his office.  It was an amazing process, with the added benefit of everything being completed that day.
 
I am so deeply grateful for all the Matrix Energetics processes Tessa facilitates that can bring such wonders into my life!"  (Comments from J.D. in Montana)
 
I like to refer to this as useful magic. The Self-Health Energetics (Matrix/Yuen + more) sessions I offer can touch you in areas and in ways that might seem impossible to imagine. In this instance my dear friend and client chose to ask for everything she wanted.  She not only wanted the timing to match her life plan…she also chose to create new options for her teeth…ones the dentist hadn’t even offered. She chose to create the best possible outcome for her life, her health and her teeth.

How often do you settle for an outcome that is less then what you truly want?

Let’s facilitate some Useful Magic for you. Choose one of the buttons below to begin the process. You may also choose the three session package at a discounted price. Many clients enjoy the benefits of creating an expanded window of possibility that linking three sessions can offer. I will contact you over email and set up a time for a 60 minute session. This could be the best investment you have ever made. Let’s create some Useful Magic for you!

Living with Far Infrared Heat—Hmmmm Good

 

www.Self-HealthEssentials.com

 Just a few of the personal stories from those who are enjoying the many self-healthy benefits of Far Infrared heat.

 
 

"For a couple weeks I’ve been using my ComfortZone™ far Infrared heater to warm up my bedroom before going to bed. Previously an electric space heater brought the room’s temperature to a comfortable level. But my sheets and blankets would still be chilled! Now within just an hour or so the FIR heater gets the air warm and my bed, too. I jump into bed and am immediately embraced by friendly and comforting warmth. After just a few minutes of reading, I fall gently and comfortably to sleep and rejoin my dreams of adventure and epic achievements.
In the morning I wake up refreshed and not grumbling about the obligations of the day. I feel like the warmth stays with me long after breakfast. A hidden benefit: I’m much more cheerful on the bus and fellow commuters are relieved they don’t have to sit next to a grouch." D.S., WA.
                                                                                                

"My experience with the ComfortZone™ far infrared heater is … WOW !!! I feel this like ‘surge of energy’ when I walk into the house where the heater is heating. For the first time in years I feel warm from the inside out, top to bottom. Previously, I had a gas furnace, but that would bring a ‘wave’ of heat, then one would slowly get cold. This is NEVER experienced with this FIR (Far infrared) heater! I LOVE IT… just wanted to tell you that I just received my new power/gas bill.  It’s amazing what having 3 heaters has done to my power bill!!  It was less than last month’s bill…AND was over 100.00 less than the bill at this time last year!  Gotta love the FAR…"  C.B., WA.

"I am loving my ComfortZone™ heater! I feel fed! The quality of heat generated is like being bathed in natural light. I wish every building had this kind of heating system because it feels so good.
I no longer wake up in the morning with dry sinuses and throat. For the first time in my life I feel normal. I’ve suffered for years with forced air furnaces, and am thrilled that there is an affordable alternative to heating my home."
K.L., WA.

"We have noticed our plants growing with more vigor even in the dead of winter since we started using our ComfortZone™ heater! This is a miracle especially in this house since it is so dark anyway. The cut flowers I place close to the Comfort zone heater last 3X their usual amount of bloom time. How neat is that?!"
T.B., WA. 

"My Comfort Zone FIR heater has made such an amazing difference this winter in my home in Montana.  It was about November 15, 2008 when it was placed in service.
The first difference I noticed was my amaryllis plant, which I planted on 11/18.   In the past, it has always taken approximately 6 weeks for the first bloom, and as I was late this year in planting mine, was hope it would bloom by New Year’s.  This year the first bloom appeared on December 11th~~~by New Year’s Day two stalks had each bloomed, providing 9 glorious blooms for the holiday season.
The rest of my houseplants are enjoying the FIR heat also, looking far better through this winter than last.
We have experienced a lot of snow here this year (only my 2nd winter in Bigfork) and more gray days than last year, and yet my attitude is much more upbeat!
The small house I am renting has electric baseboard heat only and the quietness of the Comfort Zone heater is much more pleasant to live with, as is the way it disperses the heat, which feels much more even.
This heater is now a permanent part of my life."   J.D., MT

So, eating Soy is bad for me? Why?

                    

www.Self-HealthEssentials.com

 

We receive many inquiries from our clients about Soy. One dear friend drinks soy milk as often as she can hoping it will assist her body with healthy aging.When in fact it is quite possibly speeding up her aging process.

There are many, many studies available to offer another view. The following comes from Dr Mary Eng and Sally Fallon in their book Eat Fat Lose Fat.

Today, many dieters try to meet their health requirements by eating foods based on soy, promoted as beneficial in many popular books and weight-loss plans. However, soybeans contain several toxins, and high-temperature chemical processing adds many more. As early as 1972, a soy-industry textbook (Soybeans: Chemistry and Technology) listed a number of well-documented toxic effects from soybeans—everything from endocrine disruption to undesirable changes in many organs.

The most serious problem with eating soy while you’re trying to lose weight is that soy is a goitrogen, that is, it depresses thyroid function. When your thyroid gland malfunctions, you tend to gain weight even when you eat very little. Dr. Dan Sheehan and Dr. Daniel Doerge, government researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, discovered that the anti-thyroid component of soy is the isoflavones or phytoestrogens, which inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormone. All soy foods, including tofu, soymilk, protein bars and meal replacements, contain these thyroid-inhibiting isoflavones. In 1999, these researchers actually wrote a letter urging FDA to require a health warning on soy foods, rather than the health claim the agency eventually approved.

Soy foods also contain anti-nutrients known as phytic acid which blocks mineral absorption, and enzyme inhibitors that block the enzymes needed for protein digestion.

Reading labels is very useful especially when it comes to soy. Over the years we have removed soy from our diet and happily so.If you would like to learn more about this topic, the book, The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America’s Favorite Health Food, is a must read. This is an area that one is best served as a Self-Health sleuth!

 Yours in Self-Health!
