Wash Your Hands!

I really miss volunteering for Toddler Hour down at the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary Center. So I made up this little song to sing when our program starts again. Feel free to join in, and remember, spread the love, not the virus!

Tips to Stay Healthy / COVID-19 by Dr. Elizabeth Quinn

Tips to Stay Healthy / COVID-19

Include ORGANIC, UNREFINED COCONUT OIL in your diet---coconut oil is loaded with lauric acid, which is effective against viruses, as well as being anti-bacterial. Use it when sauteing vegetables, put it in your coffee or tea, use it in soups or stews.

QUERCETIN is a plant pigment that is an antioxidant, & it has anti-viral properties. The best way to get it is to eat foods high in quercetin. Foods high in quercetin include:

Red Onions—BEST source

Organic apples, grapes, and tomatoes

Dark berries like cherries, blueberries, and blackberries

Taragon, chives, coriander, and dill

Spinach and kale 

 AVOID SUGAR in all forms. Sugar suppresses our immune system.

---The amount of sugar in one soft drink suppresses immune function for up to 12  hours.

 ---There is a 50% decrease in the effectiveness of your white blood cells to fight  infection for up to 4 hours after eating just 2 teaspoons of sugar.

---Read labels; divide the number of grams of sugar by 4 to tell how many  teaspoons of sugar a product contains.

VITAMIN D is a key nutrient for supporting immune function. Your body makes Vit D  when you’re exposed to natural sunlight, so try to spend some time outdoors. You can  supplement with Vit D---4,000 or 5,000 iu (international units) is recommended per day. Have your Vit D status checked if possible, and in the meantime get it in foods rich in Vit D, such as fatty fish (tuna, salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel), egg yolks, and mushrooms.

Herbal Medicine Recommendation

Power of Imagination

A recent comment on my Simple Self Hypnosis video - "How exactly do you imagine breathing into your knees? That's extremely confusing."

Good question.

If you are visual, you can simply imagine light or a color infusing each area as you breathe in and out. If you're not visual, here is a more kinesthetic approach:

• Take a moment to notice your breath right now - are you breathing through your nose or mouth?
• Take a few more breaths. Can your hear it, or feel it at the back of your throat?
• Take a couple more deeper breaths, notice the fall and rise off your shoulders, collarbones, spine.
• Breathing deeper, focus on the fall and rise of your chest and diaphragm. Notice bringing in oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide. With every breath, your body brings that to every cell of your being.
• Another deep, even breath, relax into your belly. Simply pay attention to the natural expansion and contraction of your midriff.
• The next breath, soften and open your hips by: moving your knees or feet just a bit; rocking gently back and forth; or going into lotus pose from yoga.
• The same when breathing into your knees. Simply be aware of your body, allow your knees to relax or contract. Clench them together tightly, then release. This will bring oxygen to the muscles by circulating the blood, hence you really are "breathing into your knees."
• Move your focus down into your feet, shift them if that feels natural, curl your toes, or flex like a super hero flying through the air, whatever works for you.
• Then bring your awareness to your hands. You can just clench and unclench to the rhythm of your breath, be conscious of what you are hanging on to, what you are willing to let go of in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual realms.

I hope that's helpful!

Focus and Simplify

Focus and Simplify

We live in an ever more complex and complicated world, often run by multi-tasking, wearing many hats, juggling time, and just having way too much on our plate.

Learning to simplify, to let go of what is non-essential to make space for is essential, is not an easy task. We worry we will get bored, or that we are indulging ourselves instead of being more productive. So give yourself permission - it really is okay to sit in the gardfen for an hour with no phone. Clear a workspace (not necessarily your desk) where there is only one project on it - could be an art piece, a jigsaw puzzle, or that last chapter of your book.

Then dedicate the time. It could be one minute or five, those pockets of time we usually waste checking our phones or emails. Let go of the thought "if I don't have an hour (or whatever) then it's not worth it. It is worth it. More importantly, you are worth it. You are worth the time and energy to feel focused and engaged. Oh yes you are!

Warmly,

Kayla
