Digestive Bliss through Small Intestine!

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Chakra, Chakras, Essential Oils, Healthy Living, Healthy Mama, mindset, Self-care, Wellness, Yoga

Through the Freedom Code session (emotion releasing technique) I have become aware that my small intestine could use some support. Empowered with this information I utilized all the tools in my holistic wellness tool box and went to work!

A LITTLE ABOUT SMALL INTESTINE

I first started to read about small intestine and what it does and quickly came to realize that the majority of digestion happens in our small intestine. Since it’s such a big part of our digestive process, supporting it would improve overall digestion and nutrient absorption. I encourage you to read about the function of your small intestine to educate yourself and get better understanding of how our body works.

DIET CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS

We all know that the food we eat has a huge impact on our overall wellness. Diet is the first place to look into for digestive support. Eating a clean diet high in complex, essential fatty acids ad minerals and low in sugary baked goods and acid-producting foods is essential for intestinal health. But even with great diets, we are sometimes lacking the nutrients and enzymes needed for great digestion. Probiotics and digestive enzymes have been great supplements for supporting my digestive system. As well as essential oils that support healthy digestion. I get all my oils and my supplements from Young Living – CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO!

YOGA POSES TO SUPPORT SMALL INTESTINE

Once I knew my diet was the best I could do and I was supplementing with probiotics and enzymes, I went to search for yoga poses to support the small intestine and came across this article and loved the poses suggested. https://myogastudio.ch/yin-yoga-small-intestine-meridian-poses/ I practiced the poses and realized that since small intestine meridian runs through our arms and our shoulders, these poses would be great shoulder openers as well. I created this VIDEO to share what I learned and demonstrate the poses.

OILS, CHAKRAS AND AFFIRMATIONS FOR SMALL INTESTINE

Now diving deeper into small intestine wellness! Every organ vibrates at a certain frequency. When the frequency of the organ goes down due to diet or any other variables, that’s when all these wonderful modalities come into raise the vibrations. The small intestine is supported by Sacral and Solar Plexus chakras. When it’s out of balance you might experience a lack of compassion, charity, lack of hope. When it’s in balance you will experience gut feelings, compassion, love, hope, and source of power.

Oils and supplements to support the small intestine are DiGize, Joy, Hope, Harmony, Purification, Sensation, Peppermint and Fennel. The oils can be applied diluted topically or taken internally ONLY YOUNG LIVING VITALITY OILS CAN BE INGESTED! Supplements that support the small intestine are Comfortone, ICP, Essentialzyme and Inner Defense. YOU CAN GET YOURS HERE!

Affirmations to support the mindset and emotions associated with the small intestine are:

“I have faith, hope and charity”

“I listen to my gut feelings” – notice the connections between gut feelings and small intestine

“I know my source of power”

The POWER of the words we use

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Healthy Living, Healthy Mama, Positive Mindset, Self-care

Each word we say or THINK (yup, think!!!) has power. It has the power to give life to new ideas, new mindsets, new opportunities or it has the power to discourage, hurt and even plant lies in our mind.

I have come across the term “Conscious Language” through a video I watched. What stood out to me is how a small shift in the words we use can create mindset shifts and that’s powerful. Our brain will believe ANYTHING we tell it, so why not tell it things we want to see in our lives?

First step is to start paying attention to the words or phrases you say without even thinking about it for example, “Things like this always happened to me”, “I am not good at technology”, “I wish I could afford that”, “I’m afraid we can’t do this” and any negative thoughts directed at ourselves “I am not creative”, “I can never be like…”, “I am ugly” etc.

This is not to say that now you are going to start saying words or phrases that are not true, it’s just the way we phrase them will change. For example replacing “I wish I could afford that” with “Every day I am getting closer and closer to my goal”, or “I am not good at technology” with “Every day I learn more and more about technology”, “I’m so stupid” with “I am learning through my experiences”. Give the brain HOPE! EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS POSSIBLE! But it all starts with our BELIEF that it’s possible and our words play a key role in that!

STEPS TO START CHANGING YOUR WORDING

1 – Begin to notice any phrases that you would like to replace.

2 – Replace them with a positive thought or use Google to find affirmations that can help you replace those thoughts.

3 – Try out the new wording and the new idea and adjust it until it feels right for you!

OILS TO USE TO HELP SHIFT THE MINDSET

Open your heart!

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Chakra, Chakras, Essential Oils, Healthy Living, Healthy Mama, Meditation, mindset, Positive Mindset, Self-care, Wellness, Yoga

In yoga, heart-opening poses are not only beneficial for physical wellbeing but also for emotional healing! Think of phrases like “It hurt my heart”, “My heart felt heavy” etc. These are not just sayings, our heart is an amazing VITAL organ in our body and our overall wellness is dependent on it and therefore opening our heart and softening the general chest area is beneficial to our whole body wellness.

Our heart is associated with the feeling of love. Being able to show love and give love to those around us but also to ourselves. We also need to be able to receive love from those around us. But sometimes due to previous life experiences and the hurts that the heart experienced we choose to close it up. So how do we open it?

~YOGA POSES – heart-opening poses such as Cobra, Cow, Camel, Fish are great at opening the heart.
~AFFIRMATIONS – “I am worthy of the purest love”, “I release and let go of all resentment”, “I am loving to myself and others”, “There is an infinite supply of love”
~OILS – YLANG YLANG. Ylang Ylang is the oil of the heart. When inhaled it helps experience loving feelings towards yourself and others.  
~CRYSTALS/COLORS – Pink quartz is a great crystal to support the heart chakra. Also, the color of green is associated with the heart chakra.

Essential Oils and Inner Work!

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Essential Oils, Healthy Mama, Meditation, mindset, Positive Mindset, Self-care, Wellness

Hey friend! I have been working with essentials oils as a part of my inner work and I just love the growth that I am seeing! I have to share it with you!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORK WITH ESSENTIAL OILS?

I just choose an oil to support an area that I am looking to grow in and use that oils along with meditation and affirmations every day for 30 days. I journal what comes up as I inhale it – new idea or old memories that it stired. The more I use the oil the quicker I get into the mindset I am working towards. Consistency is key here.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE OIL TO WORK WITH?

Great way to choose an oil is with your inner knowing – your gut feeling. If the blend “Believe” resonates with you, use it. If “Forgiveness” speaks to you, use that. You can also use a few oils at the same time. I would not use more than 3, just because it’s a lot of growth and I find it better to “sit” with the feelings you are working on more focused than try and “bang” it all out at once.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1 – Choose an are of growth (Self-Love, Confidence, Trusting yourself, Self-Worth) or notice any patterns that are not serving you (ex. Anxiousness, Defeated, Victim, a great resource for this is “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils” book by Carolyn Mein)

2 – Choose an oil to work with. Using the book I mentioned above or just intuitively picking an oil for yourself to support your goals.

3 – Drop a drop of that oil on your head and rub a drop in your palms and inhale it. Write down affirmations that help you move in the direction of this new goal. Affirmations are positive statements written in the present time. For example, if we are looking for an affirmation for Self-Love our affirmation can be “I accept myself just the way I am”, “I love myself unconditionally” or you can Google affirmations and choose one that speaks to you.

4 – Put the oil and your affirmation next to your toothbrush to make sure you create a routine of using it day and night! Set a reminder in your phone morning and night to focus on yourself for 5 minutes.

5 – Each day read your affirmation, apply your oil, journal what comes up and meditate. The meditation can be long but it doesn’t have to be. You can start with 2-5 minutes of just standing and cupping your face and inhaling the oil after you brush your teeth. Or you can sit down and meditate on what it would feel like when you grow in the direction you want to grow!

6 – After 10 days notice a shirt. Write it down. Repeat this reflection process after 10 days again. And by day 30 you will see the amazing shifts that you might not even expected in yourself. And your will make this a routine because of how much it nourished you and grew you!

WHAT OILS ARE BEST TO USE?

I only work with Young Living oils. Their purity and the way they are produced give them true therapeutic values. After working with these oils for the past 5 years and experiencing amazing benefits physically and emotionally, I am certain these are the best choice. Young Living also creates the most amazing blends of oils. Depending on the growth goals you have you can choose from a variety of blends! Use your intuition, use the “Releasing Emotional Patterns through Essential oils” ass you reference guide and feel free to reach out to me to help guide you in getting started with Young Living as well as which oils to use! I would be honored to support you on your journey to your best self! https://oily.life/katieyev

Happy WORLD Compliment Day!

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Essential Oils, Meditation, Positive Mindset, Yoga

Internet tells me that every March 1 is WORLD Compliment day!

I did go and Google it and love that we have celebration days for everything even for things like popcorn and margaritas! GIVE ME A REASON TO CELEBRATE and I WILL BE THERE! So this World Compliment Day got me thinking – Do people realize that they have limiting beliefs that manifest when receiving compliments. The best way to know if you have this belief is to pay attention to how you respond to a compliment – “Hey, Katie, you are so good with words!” and you respond “Well actually in high school I would always do so bad in English that I never thought I was good with words?” WHAT? That is a true indicator that a limiting belief exists! If you are new to the term limiting belief – let’s define what that is…

WHAT IS A LIMITING BELIEF?

Limiting Belief – a lie that someone told us about ourselves and we believed it at some point in our life or a story that our mind made up to protect us from getting hurt. At some point in our lives, we had an experience which our brain decided to adopt as truth and we began to live our life with that lie being our compass! But we are not tied to those beliefs we can always change our mind and our course if it doesn’t serve us. We are not practicing self-love if we are dismissing the compliment due to our limiting belief.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF OUR LIMITING BELIEFS?

It’s so empowering to realize what’s holding us back. Yes, that means we need to change our mindset and do some personal growth but it also means that we are peeling another layer to operate from the heart and create a life full of purpose! It ties right into self-love! When you practice self-love and someone gives you a compliment it has to feel radiating, put a smile on your face, make you think “I am so grateful for this acknowledgment of my talent, dress, family etc. that I am proud of”

HOW TO RELEASE LIMITING BELIEFS?

Step 1: Realize why you can’t except the compliment?

Step 2: What created the limiting belief that prevents you from accepting a compliment?

Step 3: Ask yourself – Is that the belief I want to keep?

If the answer is NO, create a positive affirmation that shifts your mindset from that limiting belief. Choose an oil that helps you tie the feeling that you want to move towards! Yoga poses and chakras will depend on the limiting belief that you will uncover. Feel free to reach out to me to help you figure out what poses and chakras to focus on!

So I leave you with this – “You are beautiful! You are unique! You are enough!” Accept this as your truth! Smile, radiate, be in complete joy of feeling so much self-love for yourself!
