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.

Open your heart!

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.

How to find strength during hard times

February 26, 2019February 27, 2019 by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Chakras, Meditation, Positive Mindset, Yoga

I have been working a lot past few months! I love what I do SO MUCH and have a hard time turning it off! As a recovering perfectionist who is finding the courage to be imperfect, I find it hard to step back. I have also been dealing with a feeling that stepping back and taking time to recharge will make me lose control over my work! I have been turning to my meditation and pondering if I am working too much and suffering from burnout?

Here is what came to me – there is an abundance of time to reach my goals. And I won’t be able to reach them if I push my body and don’t let it rest. So this Monday I rested – as much as a workaholic and recovering perfectionist can. I created some new mindsets to turn of the negative voices and grabbed some oils – Joy, Envision and Dream Catcher – to recharge! This is the best way to find strength during hard times!

Another observation I had with hard times – they are so valuable! They build us, give us an opportunity to use the tools we have learned or to identify areas where we need to grow. Here are affirmations to help reset your mindset:

I am enough

I am right where I am supposed to be

Challenges are opportunities to learn and grow

I am getting stronger every day

I have the ability to overcome every obstacle

I learn from today for a happy tomorrow

Yoga poses to let go of a hard day

Forward Fold – as you are in this pose, envision all your worries coming off your shoulders

Baby Cobra / Cobra / Upward dog – focus on releasing your shoulders down your spine, elongating your neck and opening your heart

Baddha Konasana (bound angle pose) or Easy Seat – the grounding of these poses provides calming benefits

Savasana – just letting it all go, taking time to rest

Young Living Essential Oils (buy your Oils here)

Frankincense – grounding and calming

Stress Away – relaxing and releasing

Citrus Fresh – uplifting and happy

Valor – courage and strength

Peace & Calming – calming and relaxing

Chakras to focus on and balance

Root chakra – our grounding and foundational chakra

Sacral chakra – our ability to accept others and new experiences

Solar Plexus chakra – our strength and ability to create our life

How do you combine all these?

Write down your affirmations on a piece of paper or in a journal. Grab oils that resonate with you. Find 10 minutes of quietness. Get into a comfortable seat and apply your oils where you are called to apply them. Close your eyes. Cup your nose and take 5-10 inhales to inhale the oils. Say your affirmations out loud 5-10 times each. As you are breathing begin to focus on your Root chakra, located at the base of the spine by the tailbone, as you become more grounded begin to focus on your Sacral chakra, located in the lower abdomen about two inches below your navel, as you feel your energy shift move up to your Solar Plexus chakra, located in your upper abdomen (stomach region). As you have sat and focused on these chakras, begin to open your eyes and moving into forward folds, backbends, and savasana. This quick self-love practice is sure to bring you calm and shift your mindset when you need a break!

ENJOY!
