With your thumb, deeply press in and walk your thumb on the large plantar pad of your big toe. Work deeply for at least 1 - 3 minutes on each of the big toes. Also work on the 2nd toe for a minute. The toe points will work your head, brain, pituitary, and pineal gland reflexes... all important to balance for a good night's sleep. If you can't reach the bottom of your toe, have someone else help you. If that isn't an option, find a firm, (not to sharp) solid corner of a wooden coffee table and press the plantar pad of your large toe on it for a few minutes. Next walk your thumb along the...

Last week some of the children in my daughter's class was asked to bring cleaners to school to clean their desks, in preparation for the exams.  (My daughter wasn't one of them!)  Of course, all kinds of harmful cleaning products were used.  My daughter who is 14 said she had such a headache and couldn't breathe properly from all the cleaners used.  She told me how lucky she feels to live in a home where we only use environmentally friendly products.

Yes, I am a very positive person, but I am human!  Last week, I was feeling very unbalanced and ungrounded.  I called upon a dear friend and expressed my feelings to her.  She told me to get down on my hands and knees and imagine my hands, knees and feet being firmly planted like roots into the earth.  She told me to ask "Mother Earth" to support me.  I have been doing this for the past week and it is really helping.
