The Nano pen

I over squatted a couple of weeks ago and my right knee has been tender and a little stiff off and on.  It is not swollen but it is a little stiff and it feels like it is all full of fluid but to look at it it does not look like anything is wrong with it. But it has a weird feeling to it and when I leave it bent for any period of time like sitting at the desk or riding the bike, it stiffens up for a while until I leave it straight out for a while or raised. Reminder to self: Arnica gel helps!  Another reminder to do what I have already learned to do:  I have been using my Nano Energy Wand on my knee consistently since yesterday and it really feels a lot better.  It’s so easy to forget the obvious tools I have on hand.  That’s one reason I put everything here on my blog, so I can do a word search anytime I need to be reminder of what I know on something.

The Nano pen

I’ve been using the Nano Wand on my knee and it seems to be helping clear whatever congestion is in there.  I’ve used it also on my carpal tunnel in the past.  I don’t sell these.  Here’s the info.
“Human beings are made up of varying electromagnetic frequencies that naturally interact with all natural and man-made external energies. These energies play a large part in our health and well being.  When exposed to man-made frequencies, our body absorbs and stores such energy fields. These unnatural and chaotic electromagnetic fields emitted from items such as microwaves, cell phones, computers, TVs and more can play havoc in our bodies. These EMF energies can weaken our immune system, which can potentially lead to illness.     Continue reading →

I’m getting a lot of sleep lately. Sometimes I’ll go years with insomnia. Search the words sleep or insomnia at my blog and you’ll find my many posts about it, my thoughts, my perceptions and also the natural remedies I’ve found to work for me. I’m self employed from home the past 23 years, so I make my own schedule. That’s allowed me to fall into a natural sleep pattern of twice a day, usually between 4:00 — 9:00, both am and pm. When a cycle of insomnia ends, I go through a delightful time of being able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime and often do. It’s happened for enough years that I can tell where I am in the cycle. I know I’m good for the first 3-4 hours after I wake up, so that’s when I do all my running around, my errands and appointments. Any longer than that, I’m likely to snooze in your chair. It might just be 10 minutes, it might be an hour; we never know. Like the nuns used to say, “it’s a mystery.” I’ve learned to just be in a safe place and let it happen. I’ve been reading about the adrenal glands lately and sleep is very recuperative for the adrenal glands. Adrenal function affects sleep and energy. That means eat nutrient dense foods, avoid toxic foods and get plenty of sleep. Take vitamin D and cod liver oil, exercise and get real sunlight. Spending time outside at dawn and late afternoon helps regulate the pineal gland, which also affects sleep. That is why I take my walk as dawn is breaking, and at sunset I go outside to water the back property, where the light lingers longest.  Continue reading →

From Cecelia Avitable of The Herb Corner in Melbourne, FL:   We all get stressed every once in a while because our lives have become so hectic; but for some of us our stress is more emotionally related from worry, work, finances, anxiety, tension, grief, frustration, depression and anger. Stress can be due to illness, loss of a loved one, a job loss, family visits, over-work, travel or exposure to toxins. Anything that threatens the body physically or emotionally causes stress; over-time your body’s reaction to continual stress can cause conditions like high blood pressure, asthma, ulcers, headaches, insomnia or weight gain.  Fortunately herbs can help reduce the effects of stress. Adaptogenic herbs normalize the body so it can better cope with stressors; they support your immune system and nourish your adrenal glands.  Here’s a list:   Continue reading →

All these burning churches? I say thank you to every hater who has ever added kindling and wind to these massive bonfires.We will use them to light the world on fire, lighting the way for massive change.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

A fun road trip day to Orlando. We did some business then stopped at the Sam Ash Music store and looked at a whole bunch of equipment no one needed since they have a studio full of it. Afterward, we had an awesome lunch at Little Saigon http://www.littlesaigonrestaurant.com/ Vietnamese restaurant I had a crab and tofu Pho and the man had chicken, broccoli and scallions. This is where Dennis Hollin and I were having lunch a few years ago when I dropped my cell phone into my pho soup, and everything was saved on the phone, not the sim card. Which means nothing was saved. This happened two days before The Universal Lightworkers Conference in West Palm Beach and I lost everyone’s messages about when and where to connect. Gone. LOL It was a fun weekend, like a treasure hunt!

As I scroll through the Facebook newsfeed, I notice my mind is judging the fattening and unhealthy food pics that overweight friends are posting after having told me they want to lose weight and inflammation. So called low carb desserts made with flour and sugar and cheesy fried stuff. This is none of my business. Why should I care? Don’t I have enough going on in my own life? LOL The mind is a crazy thing, it will obsess over all sorts of stuff until I make the choice to choose a different pattern of thought.

I received a text message from Verizon yesterday telling me I’d used 50% of my data limit and that my billing cycle ends July 17. Today I get a text telling me I’ve used 75%  WTF?? I went into my app settings and made sure everything was set to download only when I’m on wi-fi, and it was.  ALSO:  Tap the symbol to the left of the home button, it says, “active apps” and there is an option to “close all” or just an “X” on some other phones.  I also did this  –>  When data usage is through the roof, the problem is that apps are using data downloads instead of Wi-Fi.
Go to Settings
Click on Data usage
Scroll down to where there is a list of applications. They are listed with the highest data user first. Facebook was on top for me.
Click on an application that is using a lot of data.
Scroll to Restrict background data and click on it. This instructs phone to download only via Wi-Fi.
Just above this it says “view app settings”. Click on this and click on Auto-update apps. Select Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.
Remember to turn Wi-Fi on.

I was reminded by a friend that I took many pics and videos Sunday and uploaded them while I was not on wi-fi. I most importantly learned I’d somehow turned my wi-fi off.  The good news is: with Verizon, if I go over data, it’s just $10 per gig.
