Hello Everyone,

 

Over the years, I have dabbled in various natural healing methods to

promote health and wellness. I've been into weight training, Tae-bo,

yoga, homeopathy, reflexalogy, vitamin and herb therapy, aerobics,

hiking, walking, golf, tennis, light jogging, and even spent a short

time experimenting with the vegetarian lifestyle. But also over the

years, I have been busy with surviving in my personal and social

arenas and, sadly for me, I have neglected to balance my life

regarding work, recreation, and relaxation.

 

So, I decided to join this group and get the positive feedback and

education from those who are practicing advocates of healthy

lifestyles. I need your help in staying consistent at taking bite-

size-chunk-levels of behavior modification that I can assimilate and

put into practice. My body is saying, " Start now and don't renig. "

 

All six of my senses are highly keen. I love the smell of earth's

bountiful flora fontana and I believe Bach Flower Remedies will sooth

me. I've only studied a lit bit about it. But I believe the remedies

are effective in promoting could health. And I can grow much of this

at home in my garden but I need help in determining what, where, when,

and how.

 

I'm also deeply concerned about the way food is grown in the US. I

strongly believe the Department of Agriculture in our Government is

poisoning us. But what to do if you don't farm your own land or grow

your own livestock ... Plus, organic food in stores is very high and

then you are not 100% sure you are getting " organic. "

 

Golly, I sound pessimistic and I apologize for the tone, but I can't

apologize for knowing the truth.

 

I'm really happy to be here and I hope I have presented a good first

impression.

 

Oh, I fogot to mention, I need help determining what Bach Remedies

will work for me. I am single and I'm a high stressed person who is

facing many new challenges regarding career and family. I'm also

going through the menopause, naturally. And I tend to get stiff

across the shoulders and back and suffer painful muscle and joint

aches in these areas of my body. From time to time I take prescribed

pain medicine but only! if the pain is unbearable. Other than that, I

take no pills at all: not even vitamins.

 

Thank you for listening and I look foward to any help or suggestions

you have to offer.

 

Warmest of regards,

Hi Chris,

 

It's good to be here and learn so much from others. This is one

busy group. I feel like I need to take a speed reading course to

get through the messages. <G>

 

Keep up the great work. This is a fun and informative group.

Well welcome Carol from another dabbler. Good to know that was not a

You will learn much here.

Hi Carol,

 

This is one of the nicest, most supportive groups

anywhere. Welcome!

Just one word: you don't have to read everything if you want to have a life

left.

For instance, if you are not into making soap,

it is perfectly OK to just delete those.

Hi Ieneke,

 

Is that pronounced: eye-ni-key or eye-neck-ee? It's very pretty and

different.

 

I agree. This is a terific group. And ... and, I chuckle ... and the

volume of messages can send you running for air and screaming, " Help! " I

use to post at the site. Now I wait for the " digest " to come in my email

box. I can handle that.

 

I don't know anything much about soaps. I use to use glycerin soap, but not

any more. As far as making my own, I have never thought about doing that.

But who knows, maybe some day. Right now I want to concentrate on healing

my body of these aches and pains in my shoulder and get my energy back.

Both have been bad for (6) days and I'm flat getting irrated with my health

concerns. I'm not sick as a rule, and I don't like eing this way. (growl)

Vivodin does nothing for it. I took a half of a tranquilizer last night

and that helped me sleep straight through the night like a rock.

 

I'm here to get head smart about flower and oil essences. My gut feeling

tells me these product will help me. I just have to decide which ones and

when to get started. Decisions, decisions.

 

Have a super day!
