Tough questions for mom: Crystals, Stones and Chakras

Close up of Amethyst crystal  against white background

My teenage son asked me questions today that many of my friends, clients, and family have asked my opinion on. I guess it’s time to post about it then. I certainly don’t talk about it enough. Maybe because I still have questions myself.  It began with one question that became several more. (I will address two here.) It was a true teachable moment and I am so thankful he asked. Love, love, love that almost-adult child of mine. He seeks God’s wisdom and asks his momma.

The question was whether or not I believed stones and crystals could heal. The answer is simply, yes… and no. I do believe they have vibration and that certain vibrations can be extremely beneficial to healing and overall health. To explain, think of the Periodic Table of The Elements. Each element has it’s own frequency. When you combine elements to make a stone, chemical, organism…. it has a new frequency. And like a fingerprint, each stone, chemical formulation, or organism will have it’s own very personal frequency with subtle variations of it’s components.

Here’s the catch:

Not every stone, even under the same name and from the same source, is going to be right for you. You are uniquely you. Just like no two stones are alike. When I read “abc stone is good for xyz aliment,” I cringe. Every stone has a vibrational signature just like you have a unique thumbprint. To get the right fit for you, it must be tested on you. I’ve had to do that with a client before. She brought in about 20 different amethyst crystals and I was asked to find one, if any, that would be good for her. I seriously struggled with the challenge because I never want to facilitate idolatry. The stones, crystals, etc. aren’t the healers. Our Father, the Great Physician, is THE healer. But the stones ARE His. They are His design, creation, and an expression of His beauty. They are also gifts, like food, to serve in our well-being. But one size does not fit all… EACH stone needs to be checked on EACH person. The picture below shows how the same crystal has many different shapes and cuts. This can create different frequency signatures. Some may be more beneficial than others.

 

 

Then he asked if chakras are real. I honestly dread that question. I know they exist. What I resist is the religious association typically tied to them. As a Christian, I do not want to give the appearance of following any spiritual teaching of other religions. Hindu and Buddhism are two most commonly associated with them. Just because other religions have noticed them through their filters and Christians generally ignore them, does not mean they aren’t there. I also resist the information provided by educators that do not see them as designed by God. And then there is the whole struggle I encounter with their absence in the Bible. So, what do I do with that?

Energy centers, aka chakras, are testable by muscle testing, electrodermal screening, and other methods. None of those methods have any religion tied to them. And yet, they have consistently been testable and adjusted. The adjustments can then be tested. Adjustments can affect physical relief! I know this through a recent experience.

Here is what happened:

I am an activist for liberty in Texas and the legislative session in 2015 was loaded with vaccine mandate bills. While I personally and professionally do not recommend conventional vaccines, I do believe we should keep our ability to choose as parents and professionals when and if to consent to them. One day at the Capitol, my knee, which has a painful past, gave out. I limped the entire day and walked miles on it. Earlier that day, the Senate blindly passed a bill I found to be the most horrifying one I’ve ever seen. It also happened while I was visiting a Senator’s office and the staff and Senators were completely unaware of the bill or that it was even being voted on!! And yet the bill passed! I left in pain, limping, and extremely discouraged. I felt like a Who in Whoville in the story Horton Hears a Who. Very very small….  

The next day, I went to my chiropractor. He isn’t a regular chiropractor, I will say that. He has been highly effective in helping me without popping my back for over 15 years. The day after the Capitol, I was untestable in the usual way. He had to test my body with new questions beyond just my bones being out of place.  There was a block in my body’s ability to show him what adjustments were needed in my back and body. So, he checked my “emotional body”. Nope. He then checked on those chakras in the “spiritual body.” Sure enough, one was out. Chakra 5… which is connected to me feeling heard. My voice… ah ha! The Capitol! My mind played back the day before in chronological order. My knee began hurting after the bill passed the Senate! He adjusted me and my whole body cleared. Literally, that was all he had to do. The rest… my knee… felt no more pain. The chakra was affected, affected my body, was tested, was adjusted, and I recovered.

Let me clarify my thoughts on the “spiritual body.” I do not believe that the “spiritual body” I am talking about is dealing with the salvation of a man or woman. I think they are common to all mankind and are affected as a reflection of our relationship to God. I think a non-Christian can have perfectly balanced chakras. As a Christian, being a good steward of our chakras is taking care of our temple. It is an act of worshiping God, not of ourselves. But the Bible doesn’t mention them at all. They are there though, and God made them because they are a part of all of us.

I handle subjects that are typically associated with other religious ties with caution. But the design of our bodies includes more than tissue, bones and blood. It’s created with wisdom. How are we to know God, who is Spirit, if we aren’t made in His image in that area as well.

Blue Glowing Cells Fractal

“You’ll never get well until you fix the cell.” Dr. Dan Pompa

The cell membrane is an amazing piece of bio-machienery. It’s often mistaken as the “skin” of the cell but it is actually the brain! It has the job of communicating with other cells, has receptor sites for necessary hormones, and is the gatekeeper to all the wonders within its care.

So what happens when we get sick? The cell membranes have been compromised and the cells are contaminated with toxins. Toxins become a glitch in the inner workings of cell function. Bad cell function, caused by toxins, can turn on dormant genetic expression and autoimmune reactions. Toxins can muck up the membrane function as well! It can coat the outer walls and render the cell famished and dehydrated. Or like a truck that’s gone mudding but without the fun. You try to talk, breathe, or eat with a mud patty on your face!

It’s time to take those cells to the cleaners! This is where homeopathy SHINES! It can target toxins even locked deep in the cells. Once toxins are gone, the body is programmed to repair itself.

“Masterfully created, the body absolutely has the ability to heal if it is given what is needed.”

We shall start with cleaning cells. Shoot me am email when you’d like an appointment!

Demonstration on Subtle Energy

This is the very first video I made and it is about subtle energy. We are all electrical beings and by touching, we can have energy pass through us. It’s not rocket science and in fact, is common knowledge. It’s been my experience that many of us have forgotten about it. It is THIS electric field that is being tested through during a BioEnergetic Assessment.

Enjoy!

 

The Trampoline Analogy

Hey! I’ve made you a video about how I perceive a body under stress as a trampoline with giant boulders on it. Maybe this will make sense more if you see my extremely up close hands as I explain it.

Mental Health and Whole Body Approach: Saving Laura

Laura Cose Up 4Laura is a client who wants to share her story. It NEEDS to be shared. It needs to be shared FAR AND WIDE! She is a young woman and mother who has been buried in psychotropic drugs for years. The mental image is absolutely implied! It has been taking a terrible toll on her body and mind. She and her mom are excellent writers. Below is a blog about the work we are doing as a team to Save Laura. Her mother, Dawn, is a Licensed Professional Counselor and has had a paradigm shift. She had shifted so far towards Natural Health practices with her clients, we have created a community for her to see clients in one of the rooms in my suite! She has seen the devastating impact psychotropic drugs on many of her clients. Far too many people are on them.

My brother-in-law died a few years ago due to the devastating effects of his psychotropic drugs. His young body just had enough. Lithium had been given to him at lethal levels for years. I dream about him from time to time. I dream of him healed but in heaven. If I knew what I know now, he might have been able to recover in this life. I’ve heard stories about how he was an amazing kid! His talent for sports was remarkable. He tested at genius levels. He was very active as a kid and, one day, his teacher told his parents to put him on Ridilin. And so the spiral downward began… ADHD, Bi-Polar, Schizophrenic, Schizoaffective Disorders, etc… And you already know the end of the story, too soon. He was 47. I never knew him with a sane moment during my time with him. So, instead of saving Roy, I look forward. He is healed in heaven, but Laura has work to do here. She will need her full faculties until her time to go. I will support her whole body because… Masterfully created, the body absolutely has the ability to heal, if it is given what is needed.

PLEASE read the blog link and SHARE it if it makes an impact on you. We have a great deal more work to do, but working with the design of the body, instead of fighting it, we can nourish it! Instead of fighting it, we can detoxify. Her body is young and smart, it just needs support. It CAN reset.

Dawn and I will be making videos and recording about the value of Mental Health + Whole Body Health. More of that to come soon! I am actually very excited about this. Her website is http://www.hopeharbordfw.com

Necrotizing Fasciitis…and Moving Forward

It’s a horrific disease. It’s a fast devastation that comes out of nowhere and the mysteries around how we are getting it bother me. Hearing about it more and more grieves me in a deep way. Necrotizing fasciitis is a disease where a virulent bacteria, usually strep A., poisons the tissue between the skin and muscles. The dead tissue can clog organ function like the kidneys. It can get into the blood stream and a person can become septic. It can get other places, too, but it starts in the fascia. It is commonly called the Flesh Eating Bacteria. It was not well known in 2008 when my husband contracted it but thank the Lord our E.R. surgeon knew what it was. He would have been dead in 4 hours had they not completely opened Bob’s left leg and flushed out as much of the necrotic tissue and bacteria they could. His hospital stay lasted 6 1/2 weeks; 10 were in ICU. He had 10 surgeries and 11 months of wound care. I was his wound care nurse. I didn’t mind. I needed to be able to have my hands and eyes involved in his recovery. I watched his body repair with what was left and available to it. The donor sites for his grafts were from both thighs. It was gruesome and amazing at the same time.

It was natural for his tissues to rebuild. We just gave his body what it needed.

It’s getting close to 6 years since Bob survived NF. But the battles continued. He kept getting cellulitis as soon as antibiotics wore off. Back on them again, he would go. It was a vicious cycle and one we felt like we could not avoid. And given his current health, we couldn’t! His body had been altered. His gut flora was wiped out and his micro biome was severely unbalanced. His body’s energetic flow was crippled. No outer lymph glands survived on his lower left leg. His ankle had so much scar tissue he couldn’t quite walk right. He limped and it put strain on his back and other leg. He had 100s of staples that attached the skin grafts to muscle that could not be removed and therefore created foreign body issues. No doctor wanted to mess with it. His leg scared them to be extremely conservative….

So how does a man continue living and working? I KNOW there are worse cases. The fear they must live daily. We still deal with PTSD in some ways. And in some areas of our lives, there is more joy. My man still has a heartbeat. My man is a fighter and works hard. He has more time here with us. I am content and grateful.

About a year after he got NF, and during the cycling cellulitis, we asked our Naturopathic Doctor to come back to Texas to help. She custom imprinted homeopathic remedies to the specific toxins his body was holding and we have been able to encourage the body to go after those dormant cooties and get them out. We saw rapid improvement in his leg’s health! She helped his body stop the cycle. The antibiotics could only kill bacteria, bad and good, and did not support the whole body. Hospital protocols are not built to do that.

How many of us depend exclusively on prescriptions and surgeries to survive?

How does that address the body’s needs?

 I needed to be able to do what she did for him. I started learning and training soon after that. I now have her job in his life.

It’s not a perfect story ending. He had to go to the E.R. a few months ago because he got a staph infection. Not strep this time, just staph. Still painful and dangerous. However! It had been 2 1/2 years since his last infection on his highly immunocompromised leg! It’s a really big deal. About 1 month after those antibiotics, he started to have pain again. But this time, it was determined that it wasn’t bacteria related but from the staples. We were able to help him simply with a homeopathic remedy for fatty tissue toxins.

But homeopathy isn’t the only way we support him. He takes HIGH quality vitamins that actually help. About 80% of the supplements I test on folks are not only junk, they HURT them. They are better off not taking them at all. Through BioEnergetic Assessment, we can know if a supplement will serve the person well and if they even need it! For example, we discovered that the essential oil he was using on his leg was terrible for him. He had been using it to help kill bacteria on his skin grafts. I simply got another brand and it tested well. (I’m irritated that I didn’t check that earlier, to be honest.) He has always been faithful taking vitamins. His supplement routine has always been extensive. It might have been what gave him such a fighting chance back in 2008! But now that he is a survivor of NF, the work to survive the damage continues. It’s never over for an NF survivor. Supporting around the damage is the key. A survivor can always take responsibility to give their body what it needs between doctor visits. Really, that goes for anybody…

Be good to your buddy… your body.

It WANTS to heal. It is designed Masterfully. Give it what it needs.

Some have told me they cannot afford to care for their bodies. My concern for them is that they will become dependent on the very things that keep them sick.

Smoking Teeth — Toxic Fillings

I refer to this video frequently. I want you ALL to watch it. If your dentist will not remove your amalgam fillings or cannot do so safely, let me know. I am sure we can find you one that can. The video shows the effects of amalgam fillings much better than I could write about it.

How many different metals do you have in your mouth??? More than one creates a battery effect. Your teeth are the circuit breakers of the meridian systems in your body. Restoring your mouth to biocompatible dental materials is essential to your overall wellness. Consider this, a dentist may NOT deal with the body below the neck. Even if they know it could be affecting your organs and glands, they are not allowed to speak of it. It is beyond their “scope of practice.” If you can put a BioEnergetic Practitioner on your dental team that can partner with your dentist, you would be addressing so much more for your health and possibly your offspring’s health!

I encourage you to comment below! How can I support you?

I’m moving! Down the hall…

By my first anniversary in practice, I will have expanded my floor space twice. This first addition was the Body Balance Room about 6 months after I started. I just signed a two-year lease in my new office which will give me opportunities to expand my Body Balance options to include not only the Hurley Method and Avazzia sessions, but also several other services. I will be adding an inversion table, a far infrared sauna, a vibration plate, a mud packing and ionic foot bath station.

I will be gaining a reception area. I will have more room to grow my supplement pharmacy. I can potentially add in another practitioner in one room as a well-balanced companion to my own practice. I am in the conversation with a Christian Counselor that has had a paradigm shift in her practice to leave as much of Big Parma out of her client’s lives as possible and to let me work on the BioEnergetic needs to support them. It’s quiet a unique opportunity, and we are feeling great about it. More to come about that soon!

Eeeekk! I’m excited!

David and Goliath: An ALWAYS Urgent Request

Last week, I looked into the eyes of my enemy… and he was my teacher.

 

I take a lot of classes. I’m gone almost half the weekends of the year. I am in that phase of my work where “tool kits” and techniques and finishing touches are what set me apart as a Natural Health Practitioner. I love it… for this season. Last weekend, however, I came home from a Mastery Level class licking my wounds. It is not uncommon for my educator to be of another faith. However, I have never had one be on the attack because of mine. Until last weekend…

I wasn’t sure how to process the weekend. I was angry and had the heebie geebies. I hated feeling backed into a corner and trapped in the name of professionalism. Especially since he was not being professional. I questioned going back for my final class. I questioned using the products in my practice. God was silent… so I could hear EVERY THOUGHT in my head. I prayed. I wept. I want so badly for His creation to be seen and used in ways forgotten. I want natural healing to be to His glory!

I don’t go to bars to drink, so I went to my esthetician. She’s a much better listener than a bartender anyway. HA! She is also a dear sister in Christ. She heard my heart and immediately spoke so boldly over me. She reminded me of why I am here and that the Lord has purposed me in this circumstance. She reminded me that I am an ambassador of Christ in a very tainted place. Her words stirred my heart and my heart was strengthened 10 fold!

Her boldness on my behalf reminded me of an event that occurred while I was in college. At the time, I was president of the Baptist Student Ministry and was offered an opportunity to host a table at a Merry Meet put on by the Pagan Student Association. It was an event intended to share all faiths so that campus walkers could go shopping for spirituality. I gladly accepted and then got busy. While they were hard at work making beautiful signs to put up all over campus and inviting all the religious organizations, I went to my church. I asked them to pray on a Wednesday night. Not only did the pastor lead prayer, the members each stood up and prayed as the Lord led them. It went on for about 30 minutes… They had my back.

That Friday was the scheduled Merry Meet. My dad decided to go and be in prayer as the event went on and to share Christ when he could. As we were walking up to the Free Speech area in front of the library, I looked back behind me. I cannot tell if I saw an army of angels behind me or if I just knew they were there… but still… they were there. I went to meet the Pagan group leaders and told them I was there and how could  I help. One of the women crouched down and made a creepy screech. What was that?!? It was like out of a SciFi movie!  Within 30 seconds, they decided to disband and they all scattered into the campus pathways. No Merry Meet ever occurred. I watched my enemies scatter as I offered to help. Only God makes that happen.

Why had I forgotten? Why had I come to a place of doubt in my purpose? I am here to serve and honor God. And you won’t find me drinking the Kool-aid. Then I realized, I need y’all to pray for me. While I am here for you, I need you to lift me up. I will enter the lions’ den at times. I will meet Goliath. I only need my stones but my heart has to be ready. What plans does the Lord have for my enemy? I don’t know. I hope redemption. But if not, I must still stand.

Please stand with me, on your knees.
