Step by Step Abyanga Self Massage
This practice will help to balance the air element.
- Begin by running some hot water over the bottle to gently warm the oil, or use an oil warmer from Walgreens.
- Pour a tablespoon of warm oil onto your scalp and vigorously work in the oil.
- Using your fingertips, vigorously massage your head and scalp with small circular strokes, as if you are shampooing (or you can skip if you don’t want to wash your hair).
- Move to your face and ears, massaging more gently.
- Using an open hand to create friction, massage both the front and back of the neck.
- Vigorously massage your arms, using a circular motion at the shoulders and elbows, and back-and-forth motions on the upper arms and forearms.
- When massaging your chest and stomach, use a gentle circular motion and a straight up-and-down motion over the breastbone.
- After applying a bit of oil to both hands, gently reach around to the back and spine and massage them as well as you can without straining.
- Vigorously massage your legs as you did your arms, using circular motions at the ankles and knees, back-and-forth motions on the long parts.
- After massaging your legs, spend extra time on your feet. Using the open part of your hand, massage vigorously back and forth over the soles of the feet.
- Keeping a thin, almost imperceptible film of oil on the body is considered very beneficial for toning the skin and warming the muscles throughout the day.
Monthly Health Focus
Each new month generates an opportunity to clear and integrate the karmic lessons associated with the numerology of that month.
We are constantly cycling through energetic patterns, which pressurizes our system to clear blockages so we can manifest greater Potential.
Time allows us to either: repeat what has been (old patterns that typically don’t serve you), or to manifest Potential (new patterns that serve you).
Here is the focus for each month:
1. January: Allow for greater Creativity
2. February: Be Strategic
3. March: Be Happy
4. April: Be Centered
5. May: Live in Balance
6. June: Be Intuitive
7. July: Contain your energy and projection
8. August: Live with Courage
9. September: Be Calm
10. October: Turn on your Radiance
11. November: Connect to Infinity
12. (1+2=3) December: Be Happy

EFT Tapping Procedure—using the 3 aspects of the mind (negative, positive, neutral)
Try this for 7 days and let us know how awesome it is….
Define what you want, and set your intention. For example: “I want to reduce my stress response, so I can be creative and notice solutions.”
1) Identify the most pressing issue in your body. Maybe it’s a pain, or stress, or an emotional issue. Then, find the location in your body where you hold this.
2) Give it a “stressor” number—10 being strongest / 1 being weakest.
3) Come up with a specific phrase or word to identify your issue.
Example: You are tapping for anxiety around money, and you feel it in your stomach.
Tapping process (change the phrases to fit your reality):
- (Neutral) Tap the side of your hands together like a karate chop or the Har Prosperity Meditation and say the following sentence three times: “Even though I feel this anxiety about money in my stomach, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
- (Negative) Tap the insides of the eyebrows and say, “This anxiety about money in my stomach, is depressing me, it’s scary, it’s ____, and ____ .” (whatever you are feeling, say it and tap)
- (Negative) Tap the outsides of the eye and say, “All this anxiety, the money is never enough, my experiences tell me I’m not enough, ____, ____ .” (whatever you are feeling, say it and tap)
- (Negative) Tap under the eyes: “All this anxiety in my body, I feel stuck, I sabotage myself, I observe all my negative experiences and feelings about money.”
- (Negative) Tap under the nose, “All the stress and anxiety, I feel scared, I feel alone…” (whatever you are feeling, say it and tap)
- (Positive) Tap under the mouth, “It’s time to let it go and create a breakthrough. I am totally open to all the creative ways money will show up for me.”
- (Positive) Tap the kidney points, “I choose to let it go. It’s fun to see who and what will show up to help me manifest more money. I make it easy for people to help me. I change my vibration about money now. Everything I need I am attracting to myself.”
- (Positive) Tap under arm points, “Letting it all go, it’s safe to let go and feel that I am an empowered, generous, co-creator. I choose to align with success. There are wonderful things already happening for me. All that has happened and will happen in my life, happens for me.”
- (Positive) Tap the top of head point, “Releasing, letting go, I’m open to the universe providing the answers. I say “YES” to money. All my needs and desires are met before I even ask. I have total trust in the universe and know that I am loved.”
- (Neutral) Karate chop the sides of the hands, “I deeply and completely love and accept myself, as co-creator. In deep gratitude, I choose to align with my purest potential.”
- Take 3 Sitali Pranayam breaths, and let it all go.
- Check in again on the issue. Did it shift, did something else come up? If so, work with that new issue. Repeat the process using the words ‘even though I still have some anxiety’ – this is to note that the issue is shifting in its intensity.
- Keep repeating until the issue no longer carries a charge for you.
Anger Release Process
Have the following ready before you start: Timer, pen, paper, pillow, inspirational book, and time to do this alone.
1) Set the intention that you are doing this process to get “beyond” your anger and see what is underneath it.
2) Set timer for 5 minutes, put the pillow in front of you and start beating it for the whole 5 minutes keep going…yell, cry, pound away, keep going, do not stop.
3) Write! Follow your stream of thought—whatever came up during the pounding—write it all down until your experience is expressed on paper.
4) Take a reading from the inspirational book and receive insight.
5) Write again, as you integrate the process, and keep writing until you feel complete.

Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its growth in popularity in the United States has been around 25 -50% a year throughout the last decade. This success is fueled by several factors:
- Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent.
- Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects.
- Homeopathic remedies can be taken alongside other medication, without producing unwanted side effects.
- Homeopathy is natural—normally based on natural ingredients.
- Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s instinctual and effective way to clear the lungs.
- Homeopathic remedies are not addictive. Once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.
- Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur.
