Reflexology for Constipation
Constipation can be an embarrassing topic for some people to discuss, but so many of us can suffer from it, it’s an important conversation to have. How you are digesting and excreting food can also have a big impact on your energy levels and mood. Are you feeling lethargic and depressed? Constipation could be part of the problem. During the winter many of us do not intake the amount of fluids or fruit we need too. It’s natural not to feel the compulsion to intake these foods and fluids in the same way we do in the hot summer months. As a result however, this leads to reduced...
Read MoreSigns that something is wrong
Headaches are a sign of the body that somewhere in the head the Chi-flow/energy-flow is impeded. We have to take this seriously. Taking a pill is no solution. Would you unscrew the light bulb in your car that is indicating your car needs oil? You wouldn’t, but many take regularly pills to eliminate their headache. Some headaches are caused by stress, others by injuries to the head, neck, back, and also to the legs. Two meridians run from the toes to the top of the head and go through these areas, Any injury of the areas can have an effect on the Chi-flow in the brain. Many years of an...
Read MoreManaging Disappointment
This morning when I awoke, my little girl, with such anticipation, looked out the window, wanting only for the view to be full of snow. The weather bureau had predicted a blizzard, a foot of snow, maybe more. She was so excited! It had been such a long time since we’d had any snow in Victoria and the excitement that had been building over the past couple of days as the first snow in many years fell has been wonderful! To connect again to that sense of transformation, of beauty and softness that comes when the snow falls. You see, my little girl, when she was growing up in Vancouver and...
Read MoreTrust
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, trust means “Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.” In these days, trust seems to be in pretty short supply. Assured reliance on anything is in short supply – whether that reliance is on our families and spouses, our jobs, our government or even ourselves. God disappeared from that list probably in the 60’s or at least the latter part of the last century. And that may not be a good thing. In her book, Mind over Medicine, Lissa Rankin points out some interesting findings from a...
Read MoreSigns Our Body is Giving Us
Heart palpitations, anxiety, memory difficulties and more. These and many more signs our body is giving us that it is under constant stress from electro magnetic frequencies emitted by the wireless technology we use (see below). These devices emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, including cordless phones, cell phones, IPads, Wi-Fi routers, wireless games, baby monitors, and smart meters. An Information Package was sent to Doctors together with a letter signed by Una St.Clair Executive Director, Citizens for Safe Technology Society. On...
Read MoreReflexology to perk you up…
Our daylight time is getting shorter and the clouds seem to have rolled in. This season can certainly be a struggle for some of us. Depression and anxiety can start to rear their not so pretty heads. The good news is, our bodies can help us find those inner rays of sunshine once again. What a relief to know that our own bodies hold such keys to our well-being! How do we unlock these golden treasures? One path is to apply pressure to specific reflex areas of the body. This assists in boosting our spirits through stimulating endorphins to release naturally. How do endorphins make a difference?...
Read MoreDreaming My Life
I love dreaming. I love all the amazing experiences I have when I dream and I love all the ways there are to dream. Flying, breathing underwater, traveling through space and time, lucid dreaming, past life dreaming, seeing loved ones who have passed away – these are just some of the experiences awaiting you in your sleep. My Mother used to ask me each morning what I had dreamed the night before and so from an early age I became very good at dream recall. The earliest dream I consciously remember involved a talking squirrel that lived in a large tree at the end of our street when I was...
Read MoreEmotional Instability
Emotional Instability and other health problems are caused by a combination of environmental factors: for example the increasing exposure to Electro-Magnetic-Fields (EMF)- industrialized diets – toxins – the microbial world – Votile Organic Compounds (VOC) – bacteria that are around us. The result is an inability of the cells to communicate properly, causing an imbalance in brain and body. Dr. Mercola in a conversation with Dr. Suruchi Chandra said science has found out cells are signalling then to each other that they are in danger and when the cells do not feel safe they...
Read MoreWhat is Past Life Regression?
Past life regression is a therapeutic technique for accessing and re-experiencing your past lives directly. A branch of hypnotherapy, past life regression therapy has grown over the last 50 years to be an important addition to the alternative healing arts as well as to mainstream psychology and psychiatry. Some people try past life regression out of curiosity simply to see who they were in a past life. For most, it’s a path of personal growth and self-awareness. Past life regression can help you: See personal relationships in a new light Energize talents and abilities from other times...
Read MoreMeditation – Gateway to Healing
I have been meditating, in some form or another, for about 45 years and I could not imagine my life without it. I set aside at least 20 minutes in the morning and again in the evening for meditation without fail. This practice gives me distance from my thoughts – the origination of most emotions – relaxation, mental clarity, an ability to focus, and, along with regular exercise and attention to diet, my good health at age 66. What is Meditation? Meditation is a process of stilling and balancing the mind. According to one medical dictionary, it is “a practice of concentrated focus upon a...

Read MoreA Lifetime Fear…
I recently worked with a client who came to me with many questions about metaphysics and with an innate curiosity about how to connect to the spiritual and energetic worlds. One of her biggest blocks to connecting with her own intuition and psychic abilities seemed to stem from her irrational fear of priests. She shared with me that she came from a strict, Catholic upbringing and yet had no recollection of a priest ever harming her in any way. They were strict, she told me, and her upbringing as a girl and young woman was very limited as to her opportunities and expectations. Yet she...
Read MoreTrying on a decision
In my last post, we talked about intuition, where it comes from and why it’s a useful tool to develop. If you missed the last edition, click on “All posts by Erin Lee” below. One of the most valuable ways we can use our intuition is in decision making, and I’d like to share one of my favourite exercises, “Trying on a Decision”. Trying on a Decision is kind of like shopping for jeans. Most of us don’t take a pair of jeans off of the rack, look at them and say, “yup, these will look good!”. No! We take several pairs of jeans into the change room and try them on. Have...
Read MoreSigns our body is giving us
How can we overcome the fear many aspects of our life are causing in us? Unfortunately there are many things in our world that are affecting our health negatively. Only to a certain degree we can protect ourselves from ElectroMagneticFrequencies – Chemtrails – Genmanipulated (GMO) food – Herbicides, Pesticides and Toxins. During my studies I learned from the MD Mary Lynch the vibration of DNA is nearly the same as the vibration of LOVE. This means when we are experiencing LOVE our DNA is better able to repair itself. JOY, LOVE, and PEACE have nearly the same...

Read MoreWonder at the Choices
Have you ever wondered at the choices you’ve made? Not judged them, condemned them or blamed yourself for them but simply wondered? Have you ever stepped out of your judgement and simply wondered at the choices you’ve made? Has it ever occurred to you to say to yourself…”I wonder why I choose to do that?” or “I wonder why I choose that path or said those words?” And if you were to allow yourself to simply wonder, how do you think you might feel about your choices? You could open yourself up to possible reasons for your choices; you could allow the bigger picture of your life...
