Nourishing Touch

Last week I was assisting with a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy training here in Vancouver BC. The tutor for this block was Steve Haines, this was my first time meeting him. He teaches in London and Switzerland as well as on the Body Intelligence courses which happen all over the world. It is really great getting a different teacher, and finding out how they do things. Steve Haines style is very verbal as well as very open and precise. I found it rather challenging, to be honest, because being verbal is probably the area that I have the most trouble with. I like to be quiet and just listen to the client’s system.

Visions Towards a Healed World

I don’t like to claim any particular ideology, and I especially prefer to avoid getting involved with US political nonsense since all it really is is smoke and mirrors to keep us all worked up and side-tracked from what is really going on. I do believe we can take care of ourselves through cooperation and don’t need a whole lot of people and institutions and whatnot to keep everything in place and tell us what to do. I also think that we have not really understood how to use our new tools (internet, open-source, yes even twitter etc) to help with creating a new way of interacting with each other and our world.

I am not a violent person–I can’t even hurt a rapist–and I don’t think we will all need guns to protect our property (because we are rethinking the idea of personal property). After seeing the slaughter of the barefoot monks in Burma a few years ago, I do agree with Derrick Jensen that we can’t just expect greedy corporations and individuals to willingly let go of what they think of as theirs. We will have to take them down with force.

Movement – Tai Chi, Walking, Dance, Yoga…

Any kind of movement will help to detox your tissues, especially if you work up a sweat! The breathing and moving help get your lymphatic fluid and circulation flowing.

I have always loved walking just to get somewhere, or see a city, as well as a therapeutic method of letting events work themselves through. It is one of the easiest and most affordable things to do if you need to get things moving again.

External Baths

Taking a bath regularly when detoxing and healing trauma and early imprints is very important and supportive. Some favourite bath options: 1-2 c epsom salts sea salts 1 - 2 c baking soda (very good if your kidneys are feeling stressed and for radiation) 1/2 c apple cider vinegar (Braggs) 1 c mustard powder (put in a cotton bag) food…

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay has been a real life-saver for me. I am blown away by the powerful detoxing abilities of this clay. I don't remember where, why or when it was that I first started using bentonite, but I do remember the first place I ever heard of anyone eating any kind of earth was when I read One Hundred Years…

Big Pharma’s Weak Link

A while back I discovered Sepp Hasslberger’s website which has an amazing amount of resources and information about a wide variety of topics. He recently posted a discussion he had with some friends on facebook about health reform and how to have health reform when there was a whole underlying problem that needs to be addressed so we can really get to the roots of this issue. The post and conversation can be viewed here.
