How to Use Yoga to Heal Injuries. Top Story - November 2018.
Yoga is a huge part of my life and has been for going on eight years now, before I did my teacher training I would take every kind of yoga imaginable. It is a common misconception that yoga is only for the white, middle class, chai latte drinking, designer legging wearing, skinny, hipster girl. I see every shape, size, race and gender at my classes, and every single person is there for their own special reason.

Energy Healing
I have experienced Theta healer from a healer who used to help me with practically keeping me stable as well as from experiencing medication side effects. Theta healing helps with chronic pain, such as that from my fingers because my fingers are a sight for my lancets in order to draw blood. Theta healing is about reprogramming basic beliefs, which the client keeps in their subconscious. My basic belief is: I will never get a job because of my disability, and my knee injury isn’t making this belief any easier to keep around. You see, I’ve managed to do away with this belief since I’m looking for a job that values me.

What It's Really Like to Live with Epilepsy
I tell my dad I don't feel good and walk into my room. I feel a rush of cold water run through my body and my stomach tightens. I know it's coming, but there's nothing I can do to stop it. I wake up in my bed, even though I know I didn't make it there. I look at my pillow and see blood. I bit my tongue again. I sit up.. too quickly and everything goes black for a second. My entire body feels like I'm in a dream. My dad runs into the room, and recaps my seizure. How long it lasted; where I fell; what I hit; how long I shook; how long it took me after to realize who he was. He's already called my doctor and I feel helpless and start to cry, again.

Usui Reiki began in the late 1800s, with a spiritual quest while fasting 21 days on Mt. Koriyama, and then before his death in 1930, he made16-18 Reiki masters, according to Diane Stein’s Essential Reiki: A Complete Guide to An Ancient Healing Art. Crossing Press, Berkeley, California, 1995. You see, Reiki has existed since Buddha worked on Buddhism. In other circles, Jesus may have survived his Crucifixion. He knew of Reiki, which is a Japanese word but also found in the Middle East by another name while Buddhism spread. Reiki is hands-on healing that has to do with symbols you draw on the palm of your hands.

What Is Malnourishment?
What is malnourishment? The World Health Organization refers to malnourishment as deficiency in nutrition and/or energy in the form of calories. Malnourishment can take place in two forms. One of the two forms of malnourishment is "undernutrition" and the other form is "overnutrition" or also known as "overweight." A simpler way to explain undernutrition is that your body uses more energy than it takes in, causing starvation.

I’m often surprised how many people visit their dentist and recount, they were told they need a root canal. why? As in what’s the reason behind the procedure? Most patients say they don’t know. The follow up question is, do I really need one?

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an Eastern discipline. As an Eastern discipline, it means that it doesn’t follow Western medical practices, which is why some people see this as fraudulent or incongruent with Western medicine. I want to study acupuncture and other aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine as I got hooked in one Qigong class. Acupuncture can calm my rage issues, including my anxiety. Acupuncture really does work. In this, I’m not a skeptic. Acupuncture does involve needles stuck into meridian points all over the body. Acupuncture must be performed using sterile needles. However, you have to be wary of Chinese herbal products, which are contaminated with drugs, toxins, or heavy metals.
