Cross Crawl Technique



This is the Cross Crawl technique. You can do it sitting down or standing up- right knee touches left elbow and left knee touches right elbow in an exaggerated march. Do this exercise repeatedly for about a minute.

Cross crawl can improve concentration and help with coordination. It helps the neurological function of the brain by getting right brain and left brain to function more optimally, encouraging cross communication between the two hemispheres. This exercise allows the body's energies to cross over from one side to the other (which they should always be doing). This method is useful for children who have learning difficulties and for anyone who may be experiencing difficulty with concentration. Another great method for treating learning difficulties is a Body Talk method called "Balancing the Brain". You can use this daily for better concentration and for getting right brain and left brain to work together properly. Click here for more info: http://youtu.be/gWCz4jyN2iU

A Better World

As Karol Truman states in Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, "By becoming acutely aware of your own feelings and changing undesirable ones to desirable ones, you will be contributing to the establishment of a more humane and more genuinely caring society." This statement shows that our feelings and thoughts affect one another. Positive feelings and thoughts literally make the world a better place! It raises the state of human consciousness by creating a space in which peace can still exist.

Roses


Roses are known to be the highest vibration in nature, which carries the joy vibration. Roses are often equated with love and romance. Innately, we must know of this high energy vibration. Joy is the essence of who we are. It is our normal state of vibration. We remove ourselves from this joy when we are not in harmony with our true nature of being, creating a separation from our soul, which results in emotional and physical illness. The high vibration of roses connect us closer to our true selves. When someone receives a rose, they usually do so with a smile on their face. They are connecting to the vibrational state of JOY.

Soap Nuts


Soap Nuts are small berry like fruits that have been used for centuries in their native lands of India, Nepal, and other South Asian regions. The main ingredient in soap nuts is saponin, an excellent cleaning source that can be used to clean almost everything ranging from your clothes to your teeth!


Laundry Detergent: Boil 10-12 soap nuts in 6 cups of water for 30 minutes. This is the result. I have used it as laundry detergent. Add 3 tbls. of soap nut liquid to each load. Put the liquid in a jar with an air tight lid as there are no preservatives.

All-Purpose Cleaner: Put some of the soap nut liquid into a spray bottle and clean counter tops, floors, and sinks. I was surprised how great it works! Visit buysoapnuts.com for more info and recipes.


Carnelian

Carnelian is a stone that usually occurs in red, orange, or red-brown. It was a highly admired stone among Egyptian royalty. They would use the Carnelian stone in burials believing that it would help them transition to the afterlife. King Tut's burial mask was decorated with Carnelian. It is useful for work in the lower chakras as it can aid in increasing physical energy, personal power, and creativity. It is also a gentle grounding stone. Carnelian helps bridge your aspirations and current life path closer together. This is one of Luna Sol Girls' personal favorite stones!

Peace

Yesterday as I was driving to a seminar to learn Reiki Drumming, I started to pray... I was worrying about my spiritual progression and just started to question all of the things that I had been learning: Was I headed in the right direction? I told God that I needed a sign...
A few minutes after the prayer, I was getting off of the freeway and a white dove flew in front of my car. I turned around and took a picture. There were two white doves sitting in a tree. I didn't realize at the time that this was my answer! That is all that I needed, peace of mind.

Reiki Drumming


Drumming uses sound as a healing tool. Sound can change cells in the body at a molecular level based on the intention of the client. As Johnathon Goldman states in his book 7 Secrets of Sound Healing, "Intent is energy behind sound. It is the consciousness we have when making the sound which is then encoded upon it, travels on it, and ultimately is received by the person listening to it."
Sound healing is very powerful. It can aid in restructuring physical, emotional and mental issues by bringing the body's heart rhythm to a state of peace and relaxation.


Jacque and I are now trained as Certified Reiki Drumming Practitioners. Yay!!!
