Starting Anew and Recharging the Battery

Ten Tips To A Fresh Start

1. Mental Cleanse - The Power of Positive Thinking! Negativity is the

root that undermines our happiness. The negative ideas we think can

manifest in the words we speak. The minute the words leave your lips,

is the minute they manifest. Change your thoughts to positive,

uplifting ones. Think hope not hopelessness. Think goodness, not evil.

Think joy not despair. Energy follows thought. Program thought to be

positive and your energy will reflect it!

2. Incorporate Positive Words - Affirmations, are a positive word,

expression or term to guide us and give us reassurance. " Today is a new

day " , " nothing will deter my good thoughts and intentions, today " , " I

am full of joy " . These are all great affirmations to live by.

3. Appreciate Life - Really appreciating what we DO have as opposed to

what we would like to have, makes a significant difference. This is

always an important element in creating change in a person that is

often feeling low.

4. Organ Cleanse - The liver is our master cleansing organ and the gall

bladder is its mate. Enjoy a tall glass of water with a 1/2 lemon

squeezed into it. The kidneys are our major filter and the bladder is

its friend. Boil 4 cups of water and a handful of corn silk. Drink this

tea for amazing results. The lungs are our attachment to the breath of

life and the large intestines is its buddy. Incorporate deep breathing

and exercise (see below) along with a tall glass of psyillium husk to

get things moving. The stomach is the center of our 'gut feelings' our

immune system center and the spleen is its associate. Eat the cleanest,

purest foods, that are the least processed. Enjoy health probiotics

found in yogurt and acidophilus. Avoid greasy, fried foods. Your spleen

will thank you.

5. Exercise - not with a specific goal in mind. Just sweat. This is one

of the best detoxing moves you can make. Exercise is what your body

instinctively wants to do especially under stress: fight or flight, and

it works. It burns off some of the stress chemicals which tension

produces. Therefore, a tired muscle is a relaxed muscle. Regular

exercise builds stamina that can help anyone battle stress. But even

something as casual as a walk around the block can help you burn off

some of the tension that you carrying around.

6. Take Deep Breaths - Sit up, with your back straight in any position.

Place your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper

front teeth and keep it there throughout the exercise. Exhale

completely through your mouth. Close your mouth and inhale quietly

through your nose to a mental count of four. Hold your breath for a

count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, to a count of

eight. Repeat this cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

Try to do this breathing exercise at least twice a day. You can repeat

the whole sequence as often as you wish, but don't do it more than four

breaths at one time for the first month of practice. This exercise is

fairly intense and has a profound effect on the nervous system.

7. Spirit Cleanse - Our spiritual side is often the least worked on and

the least understood. To recognize a power that is greater than our own

is to recognize our Spirituality. We understand the mind/body

relationship to be inspired by alignment with one's Highest Spiritual

Principle and by that awareness we can choose Truth. Surrendering to

our higher powers so that your Spirit can orchestrate the infinite

correlation of details that are necessary for the manifestation of your

desires. (1.) These are the benefits you'll receive when you surrender

to a higher power.

8. Meditation - There are many meditation methods. Some are passive --

such as observing the breath. Others are active -- in the sense that

you actually do something like repeating a word or mantra. The

meditations that you will find here will help you develop on many

levels. No matter what style or form you follow, meditation should

always be gentle. Do not force anything. Allow your efforts to flow

naturally and effortlessly.

9. Music - is a magical medium and a very powerful tool. Music can

delight all the senses and inspire every fiber of our being. Music has

the power to soothe and relax, bring us comfort and embracing joy!

Music subtly bypasses the intellectual stimulus in the brain and moves

directly to our subconscious. There is music for every mood and for

every occasion. Make a collection of your favorites, now!

10. Wander - Take a trip. Walk around the block, through your

neighborhood or through a park. Head to the sea, the hills or a

mountain trail. There is a concept (and herbal formula) in Chinese

culture referred to as the Free and Easy Wanderer. Walking or simply

wandering often allows us to clear our head and free our minds. This

allows for the free flow of movement, vital energy or Qi and is

extremely therapeutic.
