Why Use Rain Barrels?
Rain barrels conserve water and help lower costs (a rain barrel can save approximately 1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months). A rain barrel can be used to save water for plants during dry periods. Rain barrels can also be arranged to slowly release the collected rain fall to areas that can soak up the water, reducing stormwater runoff and increasing groundwater recharge.

It takes more than an apple a day by Norm Danniels.
Green food supplements are continuing to gain in popularity, offering a wonderful bridge between food and supplements. Made up primarily of whole food concentrates and extracts, they are nutritionally denser than the foods we consume, and contain a wide variety of vegetables that would otherwise never make it to our table. Vegetables don’t play much of a role in today’s fast food world, but they are nutritional powerhouses that must be included in our diet. This is where green food supplements make their greatest contribution. They are highly alkaline, contain significant levels of phytochemicals and trace nutrients and make a tremendous contribution to our nutrient intake. [Read full article] .....

OK In Health's Favourite Picks from our OK members |
|
The Journey of Life by Carole Fawcett
“Perhaps early in life you adopted a thought about yourself that defined you as small, ugly, incapable or unlovable. Most of us did. And perhaps you went on to live as though that identity was true. And perhaps, like many, you collected a pool of tears in your heart and went through life hurting because you wished you could be more”. (Alan Cohen)
In our life journey I believe there are more experiences that unite us than divide us. How many of these statements can you relate to?......read more... |

Is Climate Change Getting You Down? By Dr. Courtney Howard
Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will like climate change. As things get warmer and weather patterns change, they will spread and take their biting, whining, malaria, dengue and yellow-fever-containing selves to new altitudes and territories. We will hate them more than ever before, and they will likely kill more of us than before. Oceans will rise, displacing populations, resulting in social disruption, lack of shelter, food, and sanitation services. Think of refugee camps now. You get the idea. How does that make you feel? ..... read more

OF CORE BELIEFS AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH |
SINCE 1983

Subconscious beliefs, those taken on when we were too young to remember, have a powerful effect on our physical health. Core Belief Engineering helps you to gently change negative core beliefs creating or worsening pain and illness into positive, adult chosen core beliefs creating health and well being. Then a transformation of the negative core beliefs is completed on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels, down past the layer of the cells. When transformation is this deep and thorough,
changes last and accumulate.

1 cup quinoa
1 ½ cup cold purified water
1 chicken stock cube (or substitute water & cube for homemade stock)
¼ cup sprouts – pea sprouts are my favourite
1 tomatoe – diced
2 green onions – diced
¼ cucumber – diced
1 tsp fresh basil – chopped
1 tablespoon olive or flax oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Measure and rinse quinoa, pour into medium sauce pan, add water and stock cube. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, removed from heat, cover and let cool. Mix oil and vinegar. Transfer quinoa to glass bowl, mix in vegetables, sprouts and basil. Add oil and vinegar and toss.
This is a great lunch or side dish. Quinoa is an ancient grain and a good source of protein. This recipe is from the Bliss Kitchen.

Wellness Tips |
Two Minute Relaxation
You're at work and the daily stresses are piling up...STOP!! Fully supported in your chair, sit up tall, spine straight, shoulders relaxed and feet planted firmly on the ground, now focus your attention on what's around you, see what is there. Now turn your attention to listening to the sounds around you, hear the sounds and name them in your mind. Once you feel that, turn your attention inward and feel the rhythm of your breath- count 10 breaths- nice big inhale and a nice big exhale. Follow the breaths by affirming in your mind:"I am present here and now. All is well". Feels better already, doesn't it?
A Supplement for Your Skin
As springtime comes into bloom so can skin woes, including inflammation, hives and allergic reactions. To help prevent or lessen the effects of these skin disorders (including eczema and psoriasis) as well as hair and nail problems, such as dry, brittle, or splitting hair or nails, try evening primrose oil. Pressed from the tiny seeds of a native wildflower (Oenothra biennis L), this oil is a rich botanical source of gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that helps support skin, hair and nail health. Available in gel caps, look for products that are cold pressed without the use of solvents. Skin Care Solutions Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E have been linked with an improved appearance of the skin, not to mention beneficial effects on the body.
Trick Yourself into Walking Faster
Walking briskly as opposed to slowly is a great way to achieve, maintain and kick up your fitness level. Keeping your elbows close to your body at 90 degrees, simply swing your arms faster, and your feet will soon follow! Breathing fully on your inhale and exhale will oxygenate your muscles leaving you feeling more loose and limber.
Pets in the Family
Pets can instill a sense of well-being and happiness in the loves of owners. Studies have shown that pet owners, particularly the elderly, have lower blood pressure, are less likely to suffer depression and have higher self esteem than people in the same age group who don't care for a pet. Take time this month to celebrate what your pet adds to your life and your home.
Tips to Help Quit Caffeine
Caffeine--an addictive drug that four out of five Americans consume everyday. Are you addicted to caffeine and want to quit once and for all? Try these helpful tips:
Start during a time when you are relaxed, like a long weekend, when you don't have a lot to do, then make a commitment to try 3 caffeine-free days, how do you feel? Be prepared to experience tiredness, irritability and headaches within the first 24 hours so try to take a walk, spend time gardening or any other activity you find therapeutic. Try avoid activities that would aggravate some of the symptoms like spending time in front of the t.v or reading without proper lighting, the busier you stay with energy inducing activities, the more likely you won't think about it. The side effects do diminish and before you know it, the most challenging part will be over and in the long run, you will feel better.
Another option is to wean yourself off by gradually cutting back your caffeine intake by setting a goal of what you are allowed per day-decreasing your intake as the days go by. Replace the caffeine drink with water, green tea, decaf, or adding mineral water to your favorite juice. Breath work, physical exercise and a diet rich in grains, fruits and vegetables may also help reduce the severity of side effects. There are also some wonderful vitamins and minerals that increase your energy naturally and affirmations on positive change go along way!

Such is Life (book) by P. Ann Turner - Vancouver, B.C.
A journey through life - facing challenges like sexual abuse and a violent home invasion. Many women, mothers, girls and men can relate to the story of triumph over adversity, but how many people had horses as their councellors? This is a story of personal struggle, a life after the pain, where peace was found, confidence regained and a life transformed by encounters with 4 footed life coaches. More details .....
Suí ~ Mindfulness Meditation & Relaxation package - Ireland
" Suí Mindfulness Meditation & Relaxation package" (double CD & step by step booklet) by Derval Dunford, Co. Mayo, Ireland
Sui is the Irish word for sit and it is pronounced in a similar fashion to the English word ‘see’. Being guided effortlessly through these simple yet powerful practices, builds up your inner resources for dealing with stress. It allows the mind and body to REALLY rest and rejuvenate. It promotes restful sleep and brings balance to your life.
“ I am privileged to have listened to Derval’s meditation CD ‘Sui’. It is lovely to come across a CD which is contains something for people at all levels. Tracks range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. The first CD is divided into sections alternating speech with Tibetan bowls. I was also very impressed with the booklet. I have no hesitation at all in recommending it, especially to those who, like Derval, come to know that embracing 'illness as messenger' is Sine Qua Non to healing. Dervals soft Irish voice is such pleasure to listen too." - Maria Carr
THE ESSENCE OF SOUND by EVELYN MULDERS - Lake Country, Okanagan
On SALE NOW! -
Order your copies today! Website Ph: 250-766-2005 Email
I opened Evelyn's book The Essence of Sound and my soul grinned. I stand in awe of this woman's gifts, abilities, and insights. She is a visionary and is committed to sharing her wisdom with us. To me, this is an encyclopedia of sound meridians, chakras, auric field and figure eight energies. It's for the beginner and the advanced. She has beautifully combined, in such a user friendly way, the core of energy work into one great book. I immediately felt it to be one of the most comprehensive books on the subject. I'm excited for all the possibilities and I appreciate the heart and love that is in this book. It's wonderful. - Tawni K. Lawrence, LMT,CLP.
“The Essence of Sound is a welcome, comprehensive, and highly sophisticated guide to the body's energy systems. It teaches you how to use sound, herbs, crystals, gemstones, aromas, colours and affirmations to orchestrate the energies of your meridians, chakras and aura into a beautiful symphony. Beyond this, it integrates the body's complex energy systems into an encyclopedic guide we can all use and understand. I recommend it highly”
~ Donna Eden , Author of Energy Medicine ~
Chasing the Cure
An Effective Alternative for Treating Cancer and Other Diseases
by William Bengston with Dr. Sylvia Fraser
Published March 13th, 2010 Price:$21.95
Can energy healing cure cancer?
You be the judge! Virtually all Eastern healing practices are premised on a belief in the existence of an invisible energy system; the Western world is alone in rejecting that view in favour of a materialistic, technological, drug-based medical system. While the accomplishments of the Western system are undeniable, the general public is well ahead of Western medical professionals in accepting and seeking out alternative health methods. The only thing missing has been a clinching argument to bridge the gap between Eastern tradition and Western skepticism— until now. Chasing the Cure tells the story of how Dr. Bengston discovered and developed his healing talent; how he pursued it through laboratory research despite the heated skepticism of scientists who dismissed his results as “too good to be true;” and how he began to gather high-level support. It also contains a teaching supplement, describing Dr. Bengston’s healing methods.
Our Members Review:
"Chasing the Cure" Beautifully written, capturing your imagination, turning skepticism into believing. Teaching the alternative approach to our North American Medicine. This book, written like an autobiography and a hands on guide,using human energy phenomana.
From Hydee, Penticton
A very interesting read - highly recommended. William Bengston concisely explains the fascinating results of his many experiences both in scientific research on energetic healing, as well as the many positive results obtained with his own clients. He explains how the average person can learn to tap into his own innate healing abilities and generously shares his detailed techniques and observations for doing so.
A good read for both therapist and layman alike!
From Carol, Montreal
Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You (Hardcover)
I've been interested in self healing for a little while now, but didn't know where to start researching further. This is an awesome book to help open your mind and introduce you to how much more complex your body, as well as your life really is. I recommend it to anyone that's looking for alternative answers to any personal problems regarding health.
The Chopra Center Cookbook: Nourishing Body and Soul (Hardcover)
This cookbook is great, the recipes are absolutely delicious, but the most important part of this book is the spiritual aspect that goes along with cooking and eating food. Eating is important for all the obvious reasons, but really nourishing yourself is an incredibly important part of living a vital, healthy life. Everything from the type of food we choose, to the way we prepare it, to the mood we create everytime we sit down to eat, affects our life and health. This book is a great guide to cooking some fantastic meals and really showing you the spiritual side of cooking and eating.

Supereating: a revolutionary way to get more from the foods you eat
by Ian Marber (Author)
Reviews
I love all the Food Doctor books and regularly follow Ian Marber's recipes. This book is truly informative about what foods are good for particular conditions and what enhances the properties of various foods too. It's well worth reading even if you don't make any of the recipes. I'm looking forward to enjoying lots of culinary delights as I try all the suggestions in this book. Review by Susan kersley.
