You’re not burdening them by asking for their help. Your archangels can hear your thoughts, so speak to them. They love you and want the best for you. They are like pushing the easy button for help and guidance from God. Here is a list of the archangels and how they can help you improve certain areas of your life: Ariel is the helper, healer and protector of animals and the environment. Archangel Ariel cares for the Earth’s elements. Pale pink is this archangel’s energy color. Azrael is the angel of protection. Azrael helps those in sorrow and also helps those who help the sorrowstricken. The process of moving into the afterlife is part of Azrael’s work. Pale yellow is this archangel’s energy color. Chamuel serves God. He eases anxiety and helps locate things that are lost. This is the archangel of peace and love who helps sort out turmoil. Pink is this archangel’s energy color. Gabriel is the archangel of mercy and revelation. Gabriel is a messenger. If you ever feel trapped, call on Gabriel to help you get moving again. This archangel’s energy color is copper. Haniel is the archangel of virtue. This archangel directs people who are searching for fulfillment and is the source of all joy. Haniel helps you to stop looking for joy in your circumstances, and start looking for joy in pursuing a relationship with God. This is the path to truly lasting joy. This archangel’s energy color is bluish white. Jeremiel is the helper of souls and the archangel of dreams and visions. He communicates messages from God to people who are discouraged or troubled.

But the chance for help from above is greater when you have already made some effort to achieve something yourself. They’re not there to be used while you sit back and relax. Effort has to be made. Then they can help and guide you by putting the right thoughts in your head. Love and Light. _____________________________________________________________________________________ THYROID BALANCE Hypothyroidism is medical speak for a low functioning thyroid, the tiny butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. This rather common condition affects around 10 percent of women over 40; and unfortunately, once you reach menopause, you’ve nearly doubled your chances of such a diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the problem, your doctor will probably prescribe a daily thyroid hormone replacement pill. However, before you resign yourself to a lifetime of pill swallowing, I think a little research is in order to determine the cause of your sluggish thyroid. And, I’m happy to note, several holistic options exist that can help get it functioning optimally. First, a Little Physiology Think of this gland as the “metabolism manager.” When it does its job, we have good energy, adequate warmth, and normal bowel function; when it malfunctions, we feel sluggish, cold, and constipated. To understand why hypothyroidism causes so many different problems, it’s important to understand what the thyroid does. Think of this gland as the “metabolism manager.” When it does its job, we have good energy, adequate warmth, and normal bowel function; when it malfunctions, we feel sluggish, cold, and constipated. When it speeds up too fast—a condition called hyperthyroidism—we feel restless, overheated, and prone to diarrhea. But the thyroid does more than regulate energy, temperature, and digestion. It basically affects every function in the body. A healthy thyroid improves your skin, hair, muscles, bones, joints, nerves, heart, mood, and sexual function. So, yes, you can blame your weight gain, muscle and joint pains, and depression on your sluggish thyroid. Hypothyroidism has also been linked to nerve entrapment (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), menstrual irregularities, high cholesterol, and heart disease. It can even cause swelling in the face, ankles, and neck. How Does This Happen? In a healthy body, the thyroid makes thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in response to the pituitary gland’s thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH. Some of the T4 is then converted into the more active T3 hormone, and together they regulate metabolism throughout the body. Any interference with even one of these processes (stimulation, production, or utilization) can cause symptoms of hypothyroidism. Here are some common possibilities: √ Mineral Deficiencies. An adequate supply of iodine and selenium is essential to thyroid hormone production. It used to be easy to get enough iodine—it was added to table salt in the 1920s to prevent goiters. But iodine deficiency has become a rising problem as so many of us shun salt to avoid blood pressure problems or switch to gourmet salts that lack iodine. The problem with it- is that Iodized Salts are chlorinated! Chlorine blocks the iodine from getting into the Thyroid Gland and other Glandulars!!! Celtic Sea & Himalayan do NOT contain iodine. But Nature’s Sunshine has Redmond Sea Salt- it contains iodine. √ Hormones. Studies suggest that any disruption in the balance between estrogen and progesterone impedes normal thyroid hormone production or its utilization. Pregnant women and perimenopausal women, whose hormones fluctuate wildly, are particularly at risk. √ Stress. Cortisol and adrenaline, two hormones made by the adrenal glands, rise excessively with unrelenting stress, blocking TSH production in the pituitary andimpeding the body’s ability to convert T4 to the more active T3. When T3 levels are too low, the body responds by making even more of these stress hormones to rev up its metabolism, which further prevents the conversion to T3—a vicious cycle. √ Autoimmune Disease. A fairly common cause of hypothyroid problems is thyroiditis, a condition in which the immune system attacks and damages the thyroid gland, creating inflammation and scarring. Hashimoto’s disease, one example of thyroiditis, is the number one cause of hypothyroidism in the West. √ Environmental Toxins and Drugs. Pesticides, exposure to radiation, fluoride, and even cigarette smoke contribute to thyroid problems. Prescription drugs such as lithium and some seizure medications are also linked to lowered thyroid function. What is Your Alternative? While your doctor may very well prescribe synthetic thyroid hormone to replace what’s missing, alternatives do exist. Plenty of people have successfully decreased their medication—and many have gone off completely—by making dietary and lifestyle changes. Here’s how to get started: 1. Get your iodine and selenium levels checked. The goal is to take in a minimum of 150 mcg of iodine and up to 1,000 mcg a day. But don’t overdo it—too much iodine can shut down T4 to T3 conversion. Along with an iodine supplement, fortify your diet with sea vegetables like kombu and nori, or take a seaweed supplement—kelp (Laminaria sp.) and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosis) both contain large quantities of iodine, as well as zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The recommended dietary allowance for selenium is 55 mcg a day, which is achievable through a plantbased whole- foods diet, depending on the selenium levels in the soil. I recommend a supplement with 200 mcg a day. (I sell one at the Studio) Make sure you eat well. Foods high in antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E), B vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids all support the thyroid and its functions. Eat a wide range of whole foods—from beans, veggies, and grains to fish, nuts, seeds, and nutritional yeast. Manage your stress levels. Practicing deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing every day for 5 to 10 minutes helps your nervous system know how to get from the “fight or flight” state to the “rest and digest” state. Regular practice (not just when you feel overwhelmed) makes that relaxed state more accessible and can prevent a major crisis. Meditation and yoga also help. Practice specific yoga poses. Yoga therapists recommend poses that emphasize flexion and extension of the neck to treat thyroid problems. Shoulderstand(sarvangasana)(not for everyone!) and its counterpose fish (matsyasana) bring increased blood flow and energy to the throat center. Add camel pose (ustrasana), bridge pose (setu bandhasana), the “roar” of lion pose (simhasana), and some ujjayi breathing to further balance the thyroid. Support thyroid health with herbs. Nature’s Sunshine Thyroid Support, Kelp, Thyroid Activator and Mastergland. I do kinesiology to determine which is the correct one for you. Learn to express yourself. From a holistic standpoint, I like to encourage my hypothyroid patients to literally and figuratively find their voice. According to the subtle anatomy of yoga, the throat (the fifth chakra) is the center of creativity and expression. If you’ve never been encouraged to express yourself, go ahead and sing, shout out loud, take a theater class—get those creative juices flowing and experience what it feels like to hear your own voice. Since the throat center is also the nexus between the head and the heart, you can move toward a more harmonious balance here by contemplating the authenticity in your life. Ask yourself questions like, Am I doing the work in the world that I truly want to do? How can I more fully embody my genuine self? If you’ve never been encouraged to express yourself, go ahead and sing, shout out loud, take a theater class—get those creative juices flowing and experience what it feels like to hear your own voice. The Scoop on Goitrogens One indication of a malfunctioning thyroid is a swelling in the neck called a goiter—often caused by iodine deficiency. Goitrogens are substances that can block the absorption of iodine (and therefore potentially contribute to a goiter). They are found in various foods, including the brassica vegetables, such as kale, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and turnips; soy; and, to a lesser extent, pine nuts, peaches, strawberries, and spinach. If you have hypothyroidism and you know your iodine levels are low, cut down on eating goitrogenic foods in raw form. When cooked or fermented, however, these foods have little effect on iodine metabolism, so you can safely enjoy their other nutritious properties. Although gluten is not a goitrogen per se, gluten intolerance has been linked with autoimmune thyroid diseases. If you do have hypothyroidism, get tested for gluten sensitivity to find out whether you should avoid grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Golden Milk: The Simple Drink That Could Change Your Life : http://www.trueactivist.com/golden-milk-the-simple-drink-that-could-change-your-life/?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=mam&utm_campaign=mam _______________________________________________________________________________________ Help with Cold & Flu Prevention! 1.
