What Is Aromatherapy and What Health Challenges Can It Assist?

2012-01-22T14:06:00.001-05:00

Aromatherapy entails using essential oils, also known as the lifeblood of nature's oldest inhabitants, flowers, plants, fruits. The oils are extracted through distillation and their healing properties are then used in a gentle and safe manner to assist your health concerns. The essential oils have certain qualities such as antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, antidepressant, and/or many other qualities that assist your holistic (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) health. A trained person can work with these qualities to educate you on how to use these essential oils for your own personal benefit. When inhaled and/or placed on the skin, there is an effect within the body. There are different ways of using essential oils: as a massage oil or cream, air spray, mouthwash, in a douche and more. A massage oil or cream is the method I find most efficient and my clients have found most effective. With a massage oil or cream, essential oils are combined with a carrier oil, such as olive, canola, and almond or in an unscented cream. I educate you in the appropriate essential oils to use and how to use them.

Healing The Emotions: Add Flower Essences to Your Baby's Food, Etc.

2011-11-07T15:39:00.002-05:00

Flower Essences are highly effective, non-toxic herbal preparations that address core issues of wellness, especially emotions. The essences are used internally or topically to balance everyone's, including newborns and babies emotional health. They can be used to address anger, sleep issues, birth or any trauma, fear, nightmares, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, attention-challenge and other emotions.

Add to breastmilk/formula bottle, bath water, in soft food (for example, homemade and non-homemade mashed potatoes)...you can even place drops in your paint and then paint nursery or other rooms in the house to suit whatever mood you want to enhance or address, the essences will still work!

This is a safe and healthy way to nurture your baby's emotional health as there is no adverse effects. Using Flower Essences allows you to build a foundation that teaches your baby, as he or she grows into an adult, how to utilize natural resources to assist a healthy response to his/her emotions.

Is It Really Medicine?

2011-11-03T12:28:00.000-04:00

November E-Newsletter

Dear Friend,

Thank you for reading the first of several upcoming e-newsletters within the month of November.

While watching a commercial promoting a medication for a skin disease, I was prompted to revisit the concept of medicine. The commercial was visually attractive in its presentation, the ‘subject’ was surrounded by nature and loved ones, and she appeared happy in her mood as the list of potential side effects scrolled along the side of the tv screen. Cancer, respiratory failure, liver problems were some of the potential diseases you could experience if you take this medication.

I thought - If it has 'side effects' warnings of possible harm if use, is it really medicine? Medicine is defined as "the science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease". Also - "the science and art of healing. It encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness". If medicine is defined as the above, then would it cause potential harm in the healing process?

I chose the natural/holistic health field as a career because of the love and appreciation I experience when doing this work and being in service to others. I am committed to providing information and education on this approach to health to assist you and your family's health, wellness, and holistic healing journey. The health modalities that my practice offers comes with no warnings, just 'common sense' awareness like 'keep aromatherapy blend away from eyes', and in the event that should happen - washing the eyes will address it.

Still, whether choosing my practice or another's as your health care provider, I encourage you to be educated consumers. Research, ask questions, find out exactly what you are choosing as your medicine. An educated consumer is a conscious, responsible participant in his/her life and soul journey.

Yours in holistic health,
Nicole A. Tucker, Lic. LCC

Your Holistic Child: Back To School Guide

Your Holistic Child: Back To School Guide

~ When packing lunch, consider the appropriate food grouping for proper digestion and strengthening of the entire body (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual). Protein + Green Vegetables = Yes, Starch + Green Vegetables = Yes. Protein + Starch = No, Green Vegetables + Fruit = No.

~ If your child experiences a lack of appetite, add a piece of grapefruit to her lunch bag/box to eat or inhale the aroma. Essential oil of grapefruit provides appetite stimulant support.

~ Send her to school with her own essential oil (Aromatherapy) hand sanitizer. Containing all natural anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, and antiviral properties, she will like the aroma and the way it feels on her hands.

~ Gently encourage communication about your child's day at school. Find out who her friends are, if there are any challenges with other students and teachers, and so on. Start this process at an early age to increase your child's belief system about healthy self-expression, and communication.

~ Introduce and maintain a holistic lifestyle for your child. This approach to wellness, first, supports healthy living values and commitments for your child, as well as, minimizes sick days from school.

Make holistic living fun and empowering for your children

2011-08-10T13:41:00.002-04:00

Holistic living means to actively and consciously participate and create life choices that support your healthiest physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual (belief system) health. Encouraging this option of living for children helps them to be healthy and grow into adults who consciously choose natural and safe resources to support their best health.

Holistic living options for your child(ren) can include:
- Send them to school with their own essential oil (Aromatherapy) hand sanitizer. Containing all natural anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, and antiviral properties, they will like the aroma and the way it feels on their hands.

- Schedule time together to clean toys. Get a bucket and mix water, clear vinegar, and essential oils of lemon, tea tree, and pine - a gentle, safe cleanser, while your child has fun playing in the solution and being responsible for the care of his toys.

- Camouflage spinach or other green leafy vegetables in cacao, dark chocolate, or carob smoothies (make sure that your child has no sensitivity to these options). Fruit smoothies work well too - s(he) may find the green color interesting and fun! Use a juicer. If your child is transitioning from drinking store/fast food bought beverages, save the container. When you make the smoothie, add it to the container, until he is comfortable with the full transition.

- Give him or her the opportunity to play in dirt, or better yet soil. Encourage your child to assist you to plant and pick herbs that you can use to cook with.

Natural therapy options to understand and assist your fertility

2011-07-11T14:28:00.001-04:00

Natural therapy options to understand and assist your fertility:

Self-examination of your emotions and belief about fertility, as it relates to pregnancy and your ability to create and nurture new experiences.

Connect with what you observed and were taught in childhood that is affecting your ability to conceive or give birth to an expression of yourself.

Connect to the truth as to the reason you would like to conceive a baby. List on paper and observe your feelings/beliefs from a different angle.

All self-exploration can be achieved in one-on-one therapy, affirmations, wellness sessions, journaling, meditation, visualization, prayer and so on.

For Fertility Wellness Sessions, you may contact me at NicoleATucker@aol.com or 201.926.9757.

How to Test for Lactose Intolerance in Babies

2011-07-01T14:32:00.002-04:00

Lactose intolerance in babies can be painful. It is the body’s inability to properly process or metabolize lactose due to a lack of enzymes in the digestive system. Lactose is a type of sugar found in mammalian milk. In utero, babies can develop lactose intolerance if the mother consumes a nutritionally imbalanced diet, which affects healthy production of enzymes, consequently affecting the development of the baby’s digestive system. There are easy and non-invasive ways to test for lactose intolerance in babies.
Check the stool for blood and mucus. Blood may appear light pink or deep red in color. Using gloves, separate the stool to check for mucus.

Get a stool acidity test, which measures the amount of acid in the stool. Undigested lactose in the colon creates lactic acid.

Check for rashes on the face, the front and back of the neck, the stomach and abdomen, toes and all over. Rashes may appear dry, wet, raised, irritated and itchy. Check for a breakout of bumps on the body.

Gently apply 1/2 tsp. of milk on the abdominal area and note any breakouts within four to six hours.

Crying may indicate pain in the digestive system. Be conscious of crying immediately or two to three hours after milk feeding. Listen for gas sounds in the stomach and intestines.

Self-test by feeding your baby 1 oz. of milk on an empty stomach, noting any digestive upsets that occur within two to four hours. Repeat two more times in a 24-hour period, if necessary.

Enzyme Therapy is a muscle palpation technique administered on the body and feet to test the enzyme status throughout the body. The right enzymes can be placed back into the body with the aid of this process. Recommended for mom and baby, Enzyme Therapy helps to repair the digestive system and process a limited or full dose of lactose. Cow, goat, and bottled milk may still pose a challenge to digest.

Continued breastfeeding is encouraged; however, you may need to decrease or eliminate dairy, sugar and fats from your diet and include the appropriate enzymes, as your baby is directly affected by what you eat.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to promote a healthy body and emotions. This method helps to soothe the digestive system. Add three drops of sweet orange essential oil to one teaspoon of canola oil and apply it in a clockwise motion on your baby’s digestive system. Rub the oil in the palms of of your hands; start applying it under baby’s left breast, moving down the left side of the body, across the abdomen, including the belly button, up the right side of the body, under the right breast and then to the left breast.

As a physical upset can be directly connected to an emotional upset, lactose intolerance may also indicate a challenge with processing change and sadness.

Click here to learn more about Aromatherapy and Enzyme Therapy. To schedule a private session in either modality to address lactose intolerance, email Nicole at NicoleATucker@aol.com.

Circumspect on Circumcision

2011-02-14T14:15:00.000-05:00

It is our belief that circumcision is received by the body as trauma. A dismembering of the genitalia, the act and response from the male (or female) leave an imprint of trauma within the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual cells and bodies. This can be seen as a baby's indoctrination to physical pain/abuse, by way of his/her sexual organ. Furthermore, it is our belief that this imprint can possibly result in a desensitized genitalia, contributing to challenges with satisfyingly giving and receiving pleasure during love making with a partner and in masturbation, rage, unhealthy romantic love partnership, fear of self-actualization.

According to the philosophy of Sexual Reflexology, the skin that is removed during male circumcision is connected to energy meridians of the spleen, stomach and pancreas, and the adrenal, thymus, pineal and pituitary in female. This additional information further supports that this surgery is a whole body, holistic experience, affecting every known and unknown aspect of the individual.

Repairing the physical and metaphysical consequences of circumcision, at any age, can be done. We find that essential oils and flower essences work exceptionally well with physically enlivening the genitals and supporting the individual in his/her emotional release and healing.

Conscious Conception: 3 Things You Must Do Before Conceiving

2011-02-06T12:38:00.003-05:00

1. Consciously examine your beliefs, emotions and thought processes to ascertain the truth as to why you want to become a parent. Upon reaching your answer, honestly decide if the reason is viable.

2. Assess your internal and external life and resources. Do they allow for a supportive, nurturing, healthy and loving environment conducive to raising a baby/child?

3. Research and choose ongoing safe, non-invasive health options to prepare (as best as possible) the body's four levels (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) to conceive, birth, navigate, and sustain the entire maternity/parenthood journey with *responsibility and optimum wellness.

*responsibility = ability to respond, not react

An Easier and Safer Way To Turn Your Breech Baby

2011-01-26T17:18:00.000-05:00

Mom, you've found out that your baby is in the breech position, what do you do?

You've most likely started the search for the best approach(es) to gently and safely assist in turning baby into the cephalic or head-down position.

A main concern with breech presentation at 40 weeks gestation is oxygen deprivation, which may occur from either cord prolapsed or prolonged compression of the cord during birth head entrapment. This can lead to neurological damage or in severe cases, death.

For assistance with turning baby into the head-down position, I highly recommend Holistic Synergy Energywork (HSE). As a Synergist, I, in partnership with your energy, baby's and the Universal Divine Energy, utilize my hands (on top of mother's belly) to shift energy within a specific part of the body. In this case, to assist in gently positioning baby with head down in pelvic region.

If there is a health condition which causes the breech position, HSE can assist to bring balance and harmony to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy fields. All negative energies are released out of the body and replaced with positive, healthy energies and thought forms.

HSE for breech support and balancing health is done carefully and safely and can be accomplished in one or multiple sessions. Factors that affect rate of effectiveness include mom and baby's resistance to the method due to apprehension to meet each other and/or baby's apprehension to enter the world. These factors can be addressed in one or more sessions.

NATURAL THERAPY ALTERNATIVES TO IVF:
Choosing Non-Invasive Approaches to Conceiving

Fertility can be a challenging issue for many women (and men). Perhaps the once easy thought of getting pregnant has now been marred with numerous attempts, tests and contemplation of fertility options. This may leave families feeling frustrated and disappointed. Choosing to address the issue naturally and holistically, puts you in a position to optimized your best health and create a safe body space to conceive and nurture your baby. Just as the body, a great communicator, houses the problem, it also houses the answer. Your body is letting you know where the blockages, upsets and unresolved issues lie.

In this lecture, we will explore IVF and the potential harmful effects it has on the individual's physical body, including emotional and mental bodies. We will then transition into natural therapy resources you can utilize to improve your fertility. These natural therapy alternatives can increase your ability to conceive and carry full term by improving the quality of your health and addressing existing imbalances within your womb, emotions and your beliefs about pregnancy.

The physical body communicates to us every second of the day, it lets us know when we are hungry, thirsty, tired and much more. The physical body also informs us of trauma stored within our body, if we hold onto a perceived painful experience it is stored within the cells of the body and mirrored in present and future life experiences.

Trauma may include sexual abuse, physical abuse, and abortion. These experience can potentially leave physical and emotional wounds within the body, that may impede on your quality of life, such as health, relationships/friendships, career, how you feel about yourself, self-worth, and other creative expressions.

The road to feminine balance is assisted with inner guidance; be assured that you hold the power to shift and heal any trauma.

6/29/10: Womb Health Online Course - Addressing Reproductive Challenges Prior to and During Pregnancy

2010-06-25T13:15:00.000-04:00

Womb Health Course
Instructor: Nicole Tucker, Lic. L.C.C.

Maintaining a healthy womb is vital to mother's health, in general, and to provide a safe and balanced home for her growing baby. In order to accomplish this goal, all existing reproductive challenges, such as fibroids, endometriosis, and cysts, must be acknowledged and can be holistically addressed. On a physical level, these imbalances can cause severe pain, leading to a disruption in quality of living. Energetically, they are blockages within the woman's thought processes, belief systems, and emotional life that have landed and taken tangible form in her physical body.

This manifestation poses a potential health risk for her baby in-utero as he or she requires an unencumbered and unchallenged womb space to thrive in the best health. Though it is the baby's soul request to inhabit such a womb for its own personal life lessons, the mother can still consciously choose to heal the space and alter their realities.

In this course, we will explore the possible reasons why the reproductive challenges have been manifested, the health risks to both mother and baby, and the multi-tude of holistic options that can successfully assist the healing process.

Non-pregnant women with reproductive challenges are encouraged to take the class.

Date: Tuesday; June 29th, 2010
Time: 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time
(5:00 p.m. Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Central, & 8:00 p.m. Eastern)

Reflexology: Safe, Gentle Approach to Assist Labor Induction and Balance Breastmilk Flow

2010-06-06T10:26:00.000-04:00

It was found that by administering direct, gentle pressure in certain parts of the feet there was an effect in related areas in the body. The feet are a mirror ('reflexsion') of the body, hence Reflexology! By applying skilled and specific thumb, finger and hand techniques to these pressure points or reflexes, you have the opportunity to discover where pain and challenge may lie in the body and utilizing Reflexology to assist in addressing it.

Regarding labor induction, it is best to request after 40 weeks of gestation. At this time, the gentle method of Reflexology can be applied to assist in stimulating movement and encouraging labor. A trained and qualified Reflexologist, in partnership with mom and baby's intention, can apply this special technique to the area of the feet that correspond to the reproductive system.

The same safe and non-invasive approach can be used if breastmilk flow is a challenge, whether too little or too much. By administering Reflexology finger techniques to the pressure or reflex points that correspond to the mammary glands, a mother has the opportunity to unblock channels that may have interfered with the flow of her breastmilk, and, in the same vein, the technique can also slow down/balance the flow, if too abundant.

Assisting labor induction and balancing breastmilk flow with Reflexology can be accomplished in one or multiple sessions. Other factors may affect these concerns; they would also need to be addressed as part of the Reflexology protocol and/or with other wellness modalities, such as Aromatherapy, Herbal Care, Flower Essences and Energywork.

May 25th: I'm Teaching a Webinar on Allergy Care for Moms and Babies

2010-05-17T16:44:00.000-04:00

Allergy Care: A Baby's (and Mother's) Guide to Immunity
Instructor: Nicole A. Tucker

Date: Tuesday; May 25th, 2010
Time: 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time
(5:00 p.m. Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Central & 8:00 p.m. Eastern)

Course Overview

Whether it is seasonal allergy, food allergy, or fabric allergy, these forms of hyper-sensitivities may indicate an imbalance within the body's systems. Common allergic reactions include hay fever, hives, eczema, asthma attacks and to the stinging of insects, such as bees and wasps, and to a growing number of medications, as antibiotics, penicillin, and aspirin.

On a physical level, an allergy is considered a disorder of the immune system, but it can be digestive and respiratory. On a spiritual level, an allergy may indicate a fear or a panic that the individual is holding onto and this overreact or become "hypersensitive" when he or she perceives an attack.

Either way allergies can be potentially dangerous, especially in babies; it then becomes vital to address immediately and with a safe and gentle protocol. Most allergies begun in-utero, so it is important to examine, if possible, the mother's diet, emotional life and response to stress, as these potential factors may have contributed to baby's allergies.

In this course, we will explore the different forms of allergies, their impact and the best variety of natural therapy options to build immunity and successfully deal with an onset.

We need your help!

At midnight tomorrow, April 30th, the majority of New York City's home birth midwives will no longer be able to practice legally. Unless immediate action is taken by the Governor and the NYS Department of Health the women that these midwives serve will be denied access to a home birth with their chosen provider and these providers will no longer be able to practice legally in NYS.

And say....

With the closing of St. Vincent's Hospital, half of the licensed, highly trained home birth midwives serving NYC have lost their Written Practice Agreement (WPA). St Vincent's was the only Hospital in the city supportive of a woman's right to choose a home birth and willing to sign a WPA. In the weeks since it's announced closure, these midwives have reached out to hospitals and obstetricians all across the city looking for support, with no success. Please help us to save the homebirth option in New York.

Everyday is Earth Day!

2010-04-22T16:49:00.000-04:00

April 22nd is revered as Earth Day, though it is important to care for the planet everyday. As we move forward in acknowledging the value of caring for the Earth, I encourage you to view the planet as a living, breathing energy that we co-exist, co-create and co-manisfest with.

Furthermore, I empower you to see and utilize Earth's garden as the solution and remedy to all that ails us. Natural healthcare solutions as Herbal Medicine, Essential Oils (Aromatherapy), Homeopathy, Enzyme Therapy, Flower Essences, all derive from nature. I am sure most of you use these remedies in some form or another and may not realize the extent of the benefits. For you Rosemary chicken lovers, herb of Rosemary has hepatic properties, which makes it an excellent tonic for the liver, which is responsible for detoxifying the body and emotions, hormonal health, digestive support and a great deal more.

My maternal grandmother saves the orange skin after peeling, allows it to dry and makes tea with it. It is unclear to me if she knows the vast benefits, but, by making tea with the orange skin, the essential oils inside would submerge in the tea, making it, not only tasty, but, therapeutic. Essential Oil from Orange is a digestive aid, promotes sunny, cheery moods, and much more. Essential Oils, in general, are a staple in most major food and beverage industries, see list below:

Bergamot - Earl Grey Tea
Sweet Birch - Root Beer
Cinnamon and Wintergreen - Coca Cola
Clove - Toothpaste
Cardamom - Spice for cooking (curry)
Black Pepper - Alcoholic drinks
Cajeput - Dental and pharmaceutical work

This Earth Day and onward, I encourage you to see the planet as a gift bearing many healing resources that benefit all living things. Learn more about my company's nature-derived services at http://www.wholecreations.com/themodalities.html.

Did You Just Slap Your Baby In the Face?

2010-04-03T11:55:00.000-04:00

Walked out of my home and looked up the block just in time to see a mother slap her 1 year old in the face. Took my shades off and thought "did I really just see that?" I started to walk towards them and thought "I must say something, I know she may curse or do something else, but , f*&k it!!!"

I'm further assessing the situation as I get closer to them. The one-year old was unmoved when she got hit, which leads me to think that this has happened before. The mother appeared angry, frustrated and used her daughter as an outlet.

I knew I wanted to say something, enough to get her attention and possibly out some of her fire, but nothing aggressive. I said, "Did you just slap your baby in the face?" She turned her eyes from me and nervously tended to another baby in the back stroller. I knew that presenting the question to her would let her know that the behavior/abuse is exposed. Yes, it happened outside, but , it's a different perception when you know someone have witnessed you commit the crime.

I'm sure we all masterminded the whole experience, which prompts me to believe that she wanted to bring this darkness to light.

Not sure what their reality will be after I've walked away. Let's hope/project for the best.

What to Expect from Your Birth Doula

2010-04-01T17:36:00.000-04:00

Every woman deserves to have a team of nurturing, knowledgeable and proactive people supporting her as she gives birth; her system of care providers should be in place to handle issues A through Z. Birth Doula or Birth Assistant is one such team member that is becoming a commonplace during labor and delivery. S(he) is there to provide emotional and informational support for mother, baby and father, as well as, act as a liaison between parent(s) and midwife or doctor.

A desire for natural, safe and non-invasive birthing is on the rise as mothers want to forgo the possible negative side effects of conventional medication and fully feel and embrace their bodies and babies. With this intention of holistic birthing, your Doula should be equipped with natural therapy knowledge and training to participate in fulfilling your wishes.

Your Doula should be able to administer a multitude of natural therapy services, such as Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Massage, Flower Essences, Homeopathy, Crystal Therapy, Hypnosis, Herbal Care and Energywork; all are non-invasive, holistic approaches that are gentle and effective without any harm to mother and baby. The natural therapy approach is designed to safely assist pain management, emotional upsets, breech support, delayed labor and birth, c-section support, maintaining/increasing breast milk flow and much more.

When researching the service of a Birth Doula, ask about other credentials that will support your best childbirth experience.

She Thinks She's Fat...

2010-03-26T15:29:00.000-04:00

Met a young girl (about 9 y.o.) recently at the supermarket. I bought food and sat at the counter to eat. Her dad bought her miso soup and she came over and sat right next to me. I knew it was a moment of mutual learning because there were 5 other empty chairs, but, she decided to sit next to me. I felt her wanting to start a conversation with me, I was a bit apprehensive (in my own resistance).

She asked me if the chicken tasted good. Told her yes, it's tasty. My initial impression - she was hungry! I then asked her - how was the soup? Don't remember what she said, but, she did add that it was filling. My impression grew further - she may have an eating/body image challenge. I probed deeper. We engaged in a series of q & a. She divulged that she doesn't eat breakfast, only has a certain portion for lunch and dinner...and she thinks she's fat (as she touches her stomach and thighs). There was no sign of fat on this girl. I "assured" her that she was a healthy size for her age and height. Felt I needed to say more - told her that eating balanced meals was the healthier way to go, than eating food that fills you up.

She listened, not sure how much of an impact my words had. As I spoke, I was reminded that I must adhere to this myself and how countless girls and women try to control their lives via their weight and body image.

She was there to present a learning opportunity to me, as I her.

Her dad came over and as she got up to leave, I reminded her of what I said earlier; she looked at me with nervous eyes, agreed and left.

Dear FDA...

2010-03-18T14:22:00.000-04:00

Within the past few years, baby's/children's "medicine" you previously approved have been recalled. You continue to approve drugs that have astounding negative effects on the body and emotions. Medicine is intended to HEAL. I recently learned of a new vaccine for babies you have approved (http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/company-news/pfizers-pediatric-vaccine-prevnar-13-approved/19371929/). A baby's developing immune and other body functions are equipped to handle bacteria and other possible invasions. If, for whatever reason, the baby's body needs help, there are gentle, safe and non-invasive options that are very effective.

I wonder if you care to know about those options??? You want the best and most safe healthcare protocol for everyone, right!!??

Someone who cares,

Nicole

Who's In Charge

2010-03-10T16:14:00.000-05:00

Went to the supermarket the other day. Saw a father and daughter shopping. She was a cute kid (4-6 years old) with big, piercing eyes and a dominant personality. She picked up a BIG box of chips, about 24 small bags in the container and brought it over to the cart. She looked at her father, with those big eyes, basically saying "I want this and you will say yes". He smirked and in went the container.

Couple of things caught my attention - 1. the diet of kids are so unhealthy and making them sick and 2. the father was afraid to say no to his daughter. p.s. She later saw something else that she wanted , he "tried" to grab it from her, she held her stand and in it went into the cart.

Parents, stop feeding your children garbage and take healthy control of your homes.

The Medicated Child

2010-03-09T19:16:00.000-05:00

Watched “The Medicated Child” on Frontline (on PBS). The show profiled several children and their diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder and Bi-Polar. Based on the information presented, it was abusive the way these children were being heavily medicated. Children, as young as four years old, were being given profoundly strong psychiatric medication. And as they showed any sign of change...perceived negative change, more medication was given.

Several things concerned me. There was no mention of the child's diet, parents' emotional role and environmental factors that feed the illnesses. The children's diets were filled with sugar, which causes damaging effects to the nervous and immune systems. Children's physical, emotional and mental challenges are a reflection of their parents unresolved life issues and lessons. I guess because I am from a different school of thought/belief, this was not considered as an area to address. Based on what I saw, it was not. The answer always appeared to be focused on the medication as the solution.

The parents appeared lost, confused and were completely giving their power over to the doctors. Did the parents do a thorough research on these medications or on other alternative care to address the issue? Where is the empowerment and awareness?

From what I viewed, it is clear that an introduction to substance abuse and addiction is being fostered with the support of such organizations as the Food and Drug Administration. It has become, or probably has been acceptable to drug or over-drug children with justified means in doing so. The well-rounded needs of these children are severely dismissed. Is this out of ignorance or a profound void of deep concern for the wellness of all...and what are our responsibilities in changing this?

Women...Let's Heal Ourselves

2010-03-07T12:59:00.000-05:00

I wrote this powerful piece on women's wellness some years ago that was published in Inner Realm Magazine. It continues to inspire me in my own personal development and professional work in women's health. Enjoy...

Women...Let Us Heal Ourselves.Breast and Womb Cancers, Cysts, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Hysterectomy, Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Unfortunately, the list goes on to disclose a number of dis-eases women may face in their lifetimes...women of all races, nationalities, and socio-economic status.

As I observe and listen to women speak and media information, it is as if when we think of ourselves as women we automatically commit to the fear of possibly getting these manifestations of imbalance. How did we get here? Do we look at society's influence? A society that fails to celebrate the true essence of femininity by suggesting that mothers, sisters, aunts, and wives take out their wombs than try to save and heal them. Still, women cannot be preyed upon unless permission is given.

As women, I question how much we truly love being women. The magnificent, divine powers that we possess tend to be suppressed for the sake of others and as a means to remain a victim to past experiences. A past that may have included sexual inappropriateness; unsatisfying parental guidance and support and sibling competition, the main ingredients that tend to shape us from earlier on. To truly own our power would require courage and an unapologetic stand of who we are and what we are capable of creating and being responsible for in our lives.

These manifestations of pain do reflect the body's language of expressing that something requires acknowledgement and healing. Some belief system about oneself and life has festered and gone unaddressed and has now landed in a way that can no longer be ignored, unless one chooses. Praises to the human body for being so honest and loving.The answer does not lie in taking a pill or looking at our doctor as God, or giving our power over to others to define our lives.

It is crucial to understand that there are many contributing emotional and mental based factors that perpetuate these health challenges. Let us commit to defining ourselves from a place of truth and heal from within. Let us own the following:

Let us be in full accountability and responsibilities of our bodies, minds and emotions.

Let us be aware of how delicate and powerful our wombs and breasts are.

Let us radically change our diets and how we perceive food.

Let us utilize safe and gentle holistic methods to care for our health and well-being.

Let us come to understand that mind, body, spirit are one, they do not work independent of each other.

Let us stop hating other women for then we hate ourselves.

Let us understand that we do not have to reveal our bodies in order to feel accepted and validated.

Let us understand that we do not have to cover up our bodies in shame and self-loathing.

Let us learn to let go of negative thought patterns, expectations, and people that block us from hearing our higher voice.

Let us eliminate fear and inject love.

Let us be warriors, spiritual warriors and create balance and harmony in every aspect of our lives.

Let us talk to our wombs and breasts and invoke words of love and healing.

Let us stop living in denial and honestly face our choices and ourselves.

Let us view our breasts as nourishments of life, not as inanimate objects.

Let us use our ability to visualize and heal our bodies.

Let us be selective in who we choose to enter our vaginas, the passageway of life and feminine power.

Let us embrace our menstrual cycle as a monthly reminder of our spiritual powers, not as a monthly curse.

Let us teach these affirmations to the girl children.

With Love,

Nicole
