\"\"<\/a>Any remedy that is taken is an opportunity to say to your body I care.\u00c2\u00a0 You are turning to Mother Earth and its bounty and the powers of the universe.<\/p>\n

On this day, April 22, 2011 Earth Day I thought I would share one way that I look to connect with the universe to find comfort and peace within.\u00c2\u00a0 Every other day I do wheatgrass implants as I follow the health program I was given at Hippocrates Health Institute.\u00c2\u00a0 The process involves me laying on my side to administer the implant.\u00c2\u00a0 While doing so, I utilize this time to tune into my colon and communicate within myself.<\/p>\n

It is also an opportunity to give myself loving kindness with words and praise that begins my day with a positive sense of self.\u00c2\u00a0 This process allows me to feel empowered as a co-creator of the healing process.\u00c2\u00a0 While lying on my sides and back as I administer the implant I use my imagination to visualize myself surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n

This process is called healing visualization.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a wonderful book by Dr. Jerry Epstein entitled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Healing Visualizations Creating Health Through Imagery\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and it can be found at his website<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 You can also pick it up on Amazon, but if you go to his website you will learn a great deal about the process and find out some other great mental exercises that you can use as well.\u00c2\u00a0 This tool has been so useful for me and has given me great comfort.\u00c2\u00a0 I actually look forward to it now when I do my implants as it also helps give my mind something to focus on for the fifteen minutes that I dedicate to this process.<\/p>\n

I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important to make the exercise as personal as you can, meaning when you visualize yourself in these natural environments, try to imagine a place that you would want to go to yourself, a setting that feels inviting and calming.\u00c2\u00a0 It could be a place you have been before or something entirely made up from your imagination. But what I feel is most important is that it gives you a sense of peace and calm instantly.<\/p>\n

My visualization incorporates a healing river in which I place myself in entirely, I then follow the exercise Dr. Epstein provides that includes removing your colon from your body and washing and bathing your colon.\u00c2\u00a0 Placing it back inside your body, you sit down to a lovely meal that you eat with grace and happiness and watch yourself digesting it fully.\u00c2\u00a0 You then thank your colon and wish it love.<\/p>\n

Even writing this as I do now, I feel a tranquil energy come to my mind as I place myself within this image and touch my belly.\u00c2\u00a0 You may find that you want to do this exercise daily.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a beautiful way to begin your day.\u00c2\u00a0 It also is a great remedy to when you are in pain and discomfort lying in your bed and find your mind focusing on negative thoughts and want to disassociate yourself from these feelings.\u00c2\u00a0 You can visualize yourself taking a journey to this natural place and gaining a few minutes of peace.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you will find it easy and a quick comfort to help bring positive healing energy to yourself.\u00c2\u00a0 I look forward to you sharing your own visual journey with me and others.\u00c2\u00a0 Have fun with it and let your imagination be your healing guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
