Read MoreDistance Healing Part II
Earlier this week, I started a conversation about distance healing. In the first post, I talked about science and research regarding distance healing. For Part II, I’d like to focus more on the energetic and spiritual nature of healing in general, but distance healing specifically. If you would like to learn more about healing in general, I wrote an article for The Heroic Journal about the difference in healing vs. curing, which can also be found here, in the July 11 archives of this blog. About half of my Blessings Enterprises practice involves distance healing. I have clients of all...
Read MoreDistance Healing Part I
About half of my practice involves working with clients of all ages at a distance. I’ve recently received more questions about “what is it?” and “how does it work?” so I’m going to do a few basics here. Please understand that volumes have been written about this, so I’m not going to adequately capture this in a blog post, even one this long. But I’d like to at least address the basic question, so I’ll include my own personal thoughts, as well as some hard scientific research available to us. Today I’ll talk about research and some of those impacts, and in a following post I’ll get into...

Read MoreWhat the colors on the foot pads mean..
I would not testify in a court of law that this is accurate, so take this with that understanding. But since so many people have tried the foot pads, but most of us don’t send them off for heavy metal testing, the logical follow up question becomes, “How do the colors found on the pouches (after use) relate to what the body is detoxing?” I can tell you that the color of the schmootz (to use the clinical term) that comes off with the lavender patches is different than the typical patches that use Chitosan, which is derived from chitin, the main fiber component of crustacean...
Read MoreBest Foot Patches Ever!
For those of you who have tried the Gold detox foot patches and wanted more, and update: I was no longer able to get them from my previous supplier at a reasonable cost so I have been on a quest for a suitable replacement. A few clients and friends and I have tried a number of brands and varieties, looking for a something we liked. We found Happy Feet Heaven with these! These foot pads use lavender in addition to the usual ingredients, they work better than the others I tried, and BONUS!!–I slept like a rock each time I used them. Here is a rather nifty Reflexology Chart that shows...
