Holiday Detox.

It’ not something most of us think about leading up to the holidays. Now, post-detox is another story! Many people yearn for a detox when January 1st rolls around but we had a thought…what if we were conscious enough to take care of ourselves throughout the holiday season so that when January 1st appears, we’re not fatigued, brain-fogged and bloated.

Let’s think about this for a minute, shall we? You know we’re all about addressing the energetic, emotional and physical levels of the body when it comes to our health but what we often forget is addressing these levels in our everyday life. We’re often too stressed out to enjoy the little things and too consumed by social media to sit back and relax and check in with ourselves and our energy.

Energy.

It’s something we all feel but we can’t see. I assure you, if you start checking in with your energy throughout the day to see how you feel and what triggers you or what causes you to get jealous or to shut down, you’ll start to notice the energetic shifts in your body. This is all a part of awareness, which I talk about in Part 3 of Why Staying Safe Makes You Feel Stuck. I talk a lot about energy because it’s such a huge part of getting healthy that mainstream medicine sadly doesn’t address. In The Valpone Method that I use with my private clients and on my retreats, the energetic level of the body must be addressed for full healing to take place!

And you’re in luck because the songs in this month’s playlist are all about getting you in the holiday spirit to raise your energy level, increase your awareness and get you feeling good about the choices you make to take care of you and your family on a daily basis- not just for planning a New Year’s resolution!

Soul.

I didn’t really understand what ‘soul’ was until I hit rock bottom with my health. I don’t think I actually gave it any thought before that. Have you?

As many of you can relate…when you hit rock bottom from anything in your life whether it’s a breakup or a chronic health issue or losing someone you love or any situation you experience that makes you question your life and your existence and what you’re doing here on this wild large ball in the middle of a solar system, you start to tap into something deeper…your soul.

All I can say is that since my lowest rock bottom with my health a few years ago, I had no way of climbing back up without addressing what my soul was calling me to do and heal myself on a much deeper level than kale and supplements. If you’ve hit your own rock bottom, you get it. I hope the above audio AND this month’s playlist help you tap a little bit deeper into your soul to truly experience the depth and beauty of life.

Click the play button below to listen to the audio clip about self-care, energy and what’s keeping us stuck and unwell beyond food before listening to this month’s songs (click the image above to listen to the September playlist).

Self-care.

We think it’s all about bubble baths but it’s not. It’s so much deeper. It’s a huge part of the healing process, which I, of course, did not understand or know until my 30’s. Since healing my body I’ve discovered deeper layers of health and well-being that allowed me to move out of survival mode and into pleasure and enjoyment.

Those levels are the emotional and energetic levels of the body. Kale and supplements can surely help you get to a certain point but they will not, I repeat, will not heal your body. There is deeper work to be done, which is exactly what I’m discussing in today’s audio clip and in our upcoming retreat, The Full Body Transformation in North Carolina next month.

Listen to the audio clip and then this month’s playlist and enjoy these beautiful songs that help you get back into your body and help you take care of yourself on a much deeper level. You know what to do. Trust yourself.

We all do it.

But how are you breathing?

Are you breathing from your chest and in a constant state of go-go-go?

Or are you breathing from your belly in a state of flow and relaxing where you can trust your life is working out exactly how it’s supposed to be?

I lived 20-something years in the latter state of go-go-go breathing from my chest. It wasn’t until my late 20’s that I learned how to slow down and breathe the right way and trust life.

And that’s exactly what this playlist is going to help you do.

Get cozy.

Lay in your bed.

Lay in the grass.

Soak it up.

Feel it.

Put your hand on your belly and slowly teach your brain how to allow your belly to do the breathing for you instead of your chest.

I assure you, when you’re in this parasympathetic nervous system state (rest/relaxation) vs. the sympathetic state of (fight/flight), you will see a profound shift in your life, your health and your mindset.

I’m living proof.
