Is Your Plan For Total Health Missing Something?
Stress, financial difficulties and lack of focus. These are familiar struggles we commonly face today. Over the past several years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of you who are interested in whole health healing. Healing is more than just treating a physical ailment. It’s about treating mind, body and spirit in a way that gets to the root of the problem to help resolve the issue. It isn’t a temporary fix. It’s a permanent solution.
I’ve worked with many of you who had struggled with various causes of inflammation and have been so pleased by your posts and emails telling me how Jiva supplements had worked for you! But taking natural supplements to complement your diet is only one piece of the puzzle.
And, although I’ve provided quite a bit of information over the years about inflammation and the effects it has on the body, it occurred to me very recently that one important aspect of whole health healing that I haven’t covered openly online are my meditation techniques. Did you know that daily meditation can improve mental performance, reduce stress, promote physical healing and even increase productivity? After speaking with several of you recently and learning about the struggles that so many are facing in your daily lives, I’ve decided to host a free webinar and guided meditation session to show how clarity, focus and empowerment can be achieved through simple meditation techniques.
Join me on March 8th for my FREE webinar, “Unleash the Healing Powers of Meditation” to learn how to center yourself each day in order to take control of your life and unlock the secrets to peace and abundance and to free yourself from the pressures, negativity and chaos that surround us all today.

Meditation and Chronic Illness
Meditation is the skillful means by which you can reduce physical and emotional suffering and increase peace and happiness. It can help to heal health problems like high blood pressure and symptoms of chronic pain, psoriasis, premenstrual syndrome, tension headaches, fatigue, and a host of other physical ailments.
Many meditation studies show a positive benefit from using meditation in the treatment of chronic illnesses. Fortunately meditation practice has not been associated with any known side-effects and it’s easy when you know how. There is no risk in trying to meditate. However meditation doesn’t work for everyone because it takes a commitment of time and energy to practice and apply it. Many people just prefer not to go that route.
The expected time needed to realize benefits from meditation vary for different medical problems. The results depend on the specific condition being treated. If your treating insomnia that is being caused by not being able to turn off the thinking mind at night, then meditation might start working right away. It would take a much longer meditation practice to transform the theater associated with living with cancer, or to mitigate the pain of chronic arthritis.
However, it is important to understand that meditation is only one of the many possible treatment options, if you suffer from a chronic illness. Meditation can reduce fear and depression, as well as to bring a sense of calm and peace to someone who is suffering from a chronic illness. There are many different types of meditation and it is important to perform a bit of research to find the right technique that works best for you.

Some General healthy tips are to eat lean meats (turkey, grilled chicken and fish are the best)- you can use products like turkey burger instead of making hamburgers and save a lot of fat and calories; avoid all products deep fried; use only extra virgin olive oil in cooking; cut back on sweets (try eating fruits which are full of natural sugars); soymilk is always a better alternative if you want milk (vanilla flavored is actually very tasty); limit carbs as best as possible by eating whole wheat breads and whole grain carbs; high fiber foods are good for digestion and especially good for dieting!
Of course salads are always a great option; the more vegetables the better! Green beans are a great quick snack; just open the can, drain the water, put in a bowl in the microwave, add salt and pepper, and they are ready in under 3 minutes.
Soups are healthy and low in calories; they are also quick and easy to prepare.
Don’t ever skip a meal; you should always eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner (plus a couple healthy snacks of fruits, veggies, etc.)
Also try to not to eat past about 7p.m. to avoid foods turning straight to fat during sleep.
