Shuffling the cards......

ALL  this talk about ….

“What is happening to our economy?” 

“Our country?”

“Our youth?”

“Our world”? 

ALL the attention paid to chaos…

Upheaval…

Change…. 

It’s as though the world’s gone mad. 

Well, it has …..

So to speak. 

We are in the midst of great change.  It’s called evolution.  We were never meant to remain cavemen, and we are not meant to remain in the present , or recent past state either.

Throughout history, the greatest change has occurred following the greatest catastrophes.   

I don’t think we’re in the midst of catastrophe.  I think , as a people, we are being called to evolve….and as is the case with evolution, chaos always precedes Creation. 

I draw this analogy, for anyone who has played cards, from the time they were children, to the present: 

We started out playing “Go Fish”, or maybe “War”.  Then we’d get bored, and would probably end up playing “52 Pick-Up”.  By the time we completed the task of picking up all 52 cards, we were really bored, so we put the cards away in a drawer and forgot about them and went on to something else.

Before long, we again became bored with the “something else” as well…..the status quo…so decided to return to the proverbial drawer containing the proverbial deck of cards.

We took them out, but before we could decide what game we wanted to play with them…because after all we are older now, and “Go Fish” and “War” are no longer appealing.  We need something a bit more challenging, right? 

Ok, but what’s the first thing we do?  We shuffle the cards.  Who doesn’t shuffle the cards before they commence playing with them? 

Once shuffled (and oh, except for those Vegas dealers, we can make such a mess just  in the act of shuffling), the cards start to fall into place. 

That’s when we begin to create a pattern of play.  We call it a game.  We get ourselves organized……play out a hand or two….then….when we get bored again, we put the cards away for another day—to shuffle and start all over again…..say, maybe 20+,000 years from now. 

That’s all we’re doing.  We’re just in the process of shuffling the cards.  We’ll be fine.  As long as we remember that we are the ones doing the shuffling, and we are the ones playing the game, making the rules as we go.  Don’t like the game?  Change it.  Humanity’s been doing it from the beginning of time.  Nature calls it evolution.  Let’s just get on with it and quit fighting over the cards.  The sooner we finish shuffling, the sooner we can start holding a great hand again.  Keep your eye on the prize; don’t get caught up in the shuffle….. 

It may not seem as though this has much to do with the holistic lifestyle, but that’s because you can’t see my hand. 

It all makes sense to me.  It’s GOT to make sense to you………

Test THIS !


Are you tired of….from one day to the next….learning that something is good for you…..and something else is not? 

We need to eat more of this, drink more of that, take this additional supplement, eliminate that one…..

Because every day more and more research goes on that reveals new findings.  How many times a week ---not a month---not a year---but a WEEK…..do we hear “New study shows…..blah, blah, blah….Don’t drink coffee.  Drink more coffee!  Don’t eat chocolate.  Eat more chocolate; it’s good for the heart!

I don’t know….call me crazy…..but, I see a lot of different looking people.  I don’t see a world full of brunette women, or blond men, or all the same color eyes, or certainly not the same kinds of bodies.  I see individuals, unique in every way….whether outwardly visible, or inwardly invisible to the naked eye.  In fact, I’ll bet anything that there are no two people who have the same chemical make-up.

 Genetic make-up.

 Or even thought systems that so predominantly affect our health and certainly our lives. 

And yet…….we’re supposed to buy into every new study, research finding, or “documented proof” that we hear.

 Is that a bunch of bunk or what?

With a constant media barrage of what we should be consuming….what we should be doing…..how we should be living…..isn’t it a wonder that people are simply overwhelmed by it all, and for the most part aren’t even listening anymore?

Wouldn’t it be extremely refreshing to be able to tune it all out, and learn for ourselves what is in our best interests….physically, mentally, and even spiritually?

Has anyone here ever experienced an applied kinesiology session?  Perhaps through a visit with your chiropractor?  Or other energy healing facilitator?

For those of you not aware,  kinesiology is simply the study of muscles and their movements.

APPLIED kinesiology, on the other hand, is a well-established science based upon muscle response to a variety of stimuli.  A positive stimulus provokes a strong muscle response.  Likewise, a negative stimulus results in a weakened response.  The study is proven to help us to learn the best foods, supplements, and vitamins which suit our particular needs.

Applied kinesiology can also help you learn about common household items that we use all the time, and how they might be affecting our health.

And…we can even learn to discern whether a popular  belief is true for us, therefore enhancing our well-being….or if it does not resonate with us, therefore depleting our state of wellness.

The basis of Kinesiology is that the body is like an electrical piece of equipment, which is controlled by  the brain—an extremely complex computer.  The brain is continually in communication with each of the 639 muscles in the body.

If a muscle is electrically in balance, it is possible to measure a constant electrical signal from the brain to that muscle and back again.

However, when the body is overstressed (through a chemical, emotional, structural or electrical cause), the electrical signals in one or more muscles go weak. It is like a fuse in your fusebox blowing. The body figures that it is better to blow a fuse than to blow the whole system and burn the house down.

I frequently hold workshops demonstrating exactly how applied kinesiology works, but more importantly, I enjoy empowering people to learn how to apply it for themselves, in their own every day lives.

I usually start out with samples of a variety of items that I place into your aura (or energy field) .....

You will then, through simply muscle testing, learn if those items are good for you—strengthening you—enhancing your wellbeing……or bad for you—weakening you—depleting your state of wellness.

Afterwards, when you’ve gotten the hang of it, I can teach you how to test yourself, because frankly most of us are not always in the company of a “tester”.  I can also show you…..if you’re into it, and have one….how to do the same testing with a pendulum.

Applied Kinesiology is informative, enlightening, and just plain fun….and perhaps most important......
It all Makes Sense to Me!
