Want to Learn From Soul-Centered Entrepreneurs As They Reveal Their Secrets To Building an Authentic Business and Making Money

As a soul-centered entrepreneur, I get how hard it can be to grow a business without sacrificing who you authentically are.

I remember hearing speakers like Wayne Dyer, Marilyn Sherman, Roger Anthony and Suzy Orman who spoke to my heart.  They felt authentic and resonated at a soul level.  Over the years I have been blessed to communicate my message and learn from so many clients and mentors.  I have tried to be authentic and be a role model.  I have tried to spread love and encouragement.  I have tried not to judge and to lift up those to succeed as I have succeeded.

That’s why I was so thrilled when my friend (and soul-centered entrepreneur), Camille Miller, asked me to be featured in a new interview series all around this topic, which actually was born out of her own insight of what was happening around the world when people don’t align who they are with what they do.

It’s called Six-Figure Souls: Doing Good & Making Money. This FREE Online Summit highlights soul-centered entrepreneurs who crushed the six-figure ceiling and still feel they are in alignment with the Universe and their purpose. They are making money AND serving other!

This is a totally FREE online summit and I have a complimentary ticket for you. You can register using this link:  https://www.thenaturallife.org/sfs-gail-lynn.html

This is for any soul-centered, heart-based, holistic, conscious, natural entrepreneur or alternative medicine practitioner that wants to break through those money barriers and earn the living they deserve doing what they love.   

These interviews are REAL, AUTHENTIC, short to the point conversations with soul-centered entrepreneurs, like me, who’ve made a business around being authentic. You will not want to miss this!

Once you register you get the entire library of interviews. You will not be asked to purchase anything. PLUS, each speaker will offer a FREE gift as a thank you for watching!

I’m excited to be a part of this very unique event and hope you will join me in watching the interviews and continuing the conversation afterwards in our private Facebook group.

Intentionally Living, and how Life Center / Harmonic Egg can help!

Intentionally Living and
the Harmonic Egg

As we say goodbye to 2020 and welcome in 2021, it’s time again to think about what we want for our lives and who we want to be. New Year’s Eve typically finds many of us journaling about our resolutions…we promise ourselves that we will lose that stubborn ten pounds, hit the weights at the gym, eat healthier, write a book, start a business or find better job so that we can make more money. It seems to me that resolutions often fail because, in writing them, we are anchoring into our subconscious the idea that we are broken or not enough.  Resolutions don’t work because, underneath it all, what we ask for only reinforces that we don’t have it because we are lacking in some way.

At the Harmonic Egg, we offer a different path. Rethink setting resolutions and rid yourself of limiting beliefs that you are not enough. Our invitation to you, on this horizon of a new decade, is to see yourself as perfect. Stop letting the media, advertisers, and judgmental individuals tell you who you are supposed to be.  Stop allowing others to override your boundaries with their own perceived imperfections and realize that your life has value, and your very consciousness is precious. You are alive, and you have the ability to express your uniqueness to the world in a beautiful way.

The way to unfold your life is through intention and presence. Intend to be present to your life, a loving witness who is excited to see how you decide to create your reality. Intention is the key…that quiet, powerful voice that speaks all that manifests into your reality. Intend to be the most perfect “you”, and playfully explore what is already there…you just need to intend to find it.

[thrive_leads id=’536′]

We invite you to use the Harmonic Egg at Life Center in Westminster, CO as a lovely tool to help you focus and get clear on your intentions. Come soon, come often or come monthly as a member to set your intentions; integrate, re-evaluate and reset as you drive down the road of life.  Open the door to your soul’s journey into the next unfolding.  As you allow yourself to enter into deep relaxation in the Harmonic Egg, you anchor the message to yourself that you are valuable, precious, cared for and loved.  Your cells welcome this message and it encourages them to heal, while your energy field vibrates to a new reality.  Endless possibilities not previously seen by limiting beliefs and doubts can be revealed; all that is yours by divine right is within reach.  As fresh ideas enter your mind, it is important to act on them to allow them a chance to manifest. Show the Universe you really want it.  Take action toward your perfect life!  You build the bridge as you walk across it…speak, then step. The stones piece together as you speak your intention and hold your faith.

“If You Never Try You’ll Never Know” ~Coldplay song lyrics 

Make this year the year of your unfolding. Explore who you are by giving yourself permission to know unconditional love. Bring your intention, and presence, to the Harmonic Egg and let us be there for you. We are excited to see you, and who you will become.  We have watched so many clients and monthly members grow and change over the years, we hope you will join us in supporting your intention for 2021!

What is the Harmonic Egg helping to do?

The evidence so far suggests the following is taking place with sessions in the Harmonic Egg.

The Harmonic Egg (HE) data is supporting that it is delivering energy 40% more effectively to the body than the previous units.

We feel that due to the HE using a chair and not a pad that covers the music we are able to get more accurate “data” delivered to the body.  Also, the fact we are using CD quality music files and NOT compressed MP3 music files, we feel we are able to more effectively deliver energy to the body.

Q) Does the Harmonic Egg reduce stress on the body?

A) YES! It can reduce the stress hormone and provide deep relaxation down to a cellular level.

Q) Can the HE reduce free radicals which damage and age us?

A) Yes.

Q) Can HE reduce inflammatory markers in the blood?

A) Yes, over time.

Q) Will the HE assist in detoxing the body from toxins and heavy metals?

A) Yes, but individual needs to take liquids to flush out. The HE will help trigger the flow of the heavy metals and then the body needs some physical fluids to flush out of the body. Ex. Plain water, organic juices diluted in plain water, the Life Center electrolytes, water with fresh lemon, herbal tea, etc. Too much at one time can have negative effect. Having just come out of the egg, they are in touch with their body and their body will let them know what is best for them. This is very important to understand and to listen to your body.

“I noticed after my first session in the HE I could smell myself…the smell of metals.  It was the first time I have even smelled myself after any energy work/sessions.”  It makes sense because anytime the body is put in a state of deep relaxation it can heal (emotionally, physically AND environmentally).

[thrive_leads id=’536′]

 

Q) Does the HE detox mold from the body?

A) The HE can trigger the human defense mechanism to help and support any complementary medicine or foods they need to address the mold. However, once the mold is gone, HE sessions can help the individual from getting mold again.

“I was exposed to BLACK mold for 3 years (unknowingly) and it did take about that long (3 years) to detox all of it.  I finally got it all out and do not get sensitive to slight mold exposure any longer.”

Q) Can HE help heal from physical injuries?

A) Yes. Although it cannot physically heal a broken bone, the HE helps accelerate the body’s healing system as well as decrease inflammation with support from other treatments (ie treatment for a broken bone from a doctor or hospital). As far as healing from other injuries, the HE will support / enhance complementary treatments.

Q) Will the HE create more endurance for athletes?

A) Yes. It strengthens the soul/body relationship so that they are more connected. Therefore, any type of positive thinking, visualizing will be recognized by the whole-body mechanism and the body and spirit/soul will reinforce each other. We had one client tell of exercising for 9 hours outside in the heat without tire. Others that know him at the “club” asked what he was on…he told them he wasn’t on anything, he had been IN the Harmonic Egg.  He passed out a lot of cards that day.

Q) How effective is HE with chronic pain?

A) It has been reported from others that it can relieve chronic pain up to 7.5 out of 10 (on its own without any other outside treatments). Note that this is a general answer. Some individuals could be relieved totally and others less than a 7.5.

Q) How effective can HE be for deep emotional healing?

A) There are several types of emotional healing and also depths of emotional healing. For example, Healing on a psychological/mind levelHealing on the heart levelHealing on the soul spirit level, etc.

The HE appears to be most effective for the psychological mind – which may not be so surprising because the psychological can consist mainly of false ideas, false assumptions about oneself, as well as just superficial triggers that cause anger, restlessness, etc…  In addition, it’s all connected!

In terms of the heart, many times one has to treat the more superficial psychological mindsets before the heart can begin to heal. If the psychological emotions are managed then the heart can heal.

Some modalities will cause the mind to “forget” and ignore the trauma in the heart but that does not mean it is gone. We work on all the levels of trauma to heal the body as a whole and not just the parts.

Q) Will the HE work to balance the chakras?

A) The HE will entrain the entire mind/body into a soothing place. Once the client is in that space, their Chakras will operate where they should, based on the individual’s present state of health. Therefore, the HE will offer an environment whereby the individual’s chakras will operate at their optimal while they are in the HE. It will take a few sessions for the chakras to reset permanently (everyone is different so we say 4-10 sessions is where you should start). Since the operation of the chakras are also dependent upon the mind/soul/heart/body state of the individual, the HE offers a holistic approach. It is important to remember that chakras run differently in different people – the HE is very useful on this level because it sort of synchronizes the entire human system to function at an optimal level in a holistic way.

Q) What are the differences between the previous units and the HE? Here are some metaphors written by a client.

1) It’s like the difference between middle school and a master’s degree program.  Both are education but one is much more focused and rewarding once it’s completed.
2) The old is like a large winding river while the egg has the strength of the ocean with the focus and determination of a high alpine stream.
3) The old makes suggestions on how to heal while the egg is that catalyst.

4) The old was a navigator using maps but no experience. The egg is a guide with loads of experience but no maps. (3D=map; 5D=experience)

Q) Can HE help with PTSD?

A) Yes, but if the individual is receiving outside psychological help, then the HE can have an even more powerful effect as they complement each other.

Q) Can the HE be safely used by babies and children?

A) Yes. A parent should go in so that the parent is also treated by the same sound/light and the baby can recognize it in the parent. Very good for bonding.

If the children are old enough let them intuitively want to go in. If they don’t feel like it, then it could produce negative effects.  There is a difference between them not wanting to because they would rather do something else or them not wanting to go in because it’s not the right time or energy for them.

We have children as young as 8 weeks use the chamber.

 For adolescents, the egg can be very powerful in aligning their energetic flow as they transition into adulthood.

 Q) Can pregnant women use the HE?

A) Yes.

Q) Will the HE work on the vagus nerve?

A) The Harmonic Egg will first work to “soothe” the vagus nerve. It will assist the vagus nerve to reset itself to be in synchronicity with the person’s other systems. The Harmonic Egg will help the vagus nerve “search” around for the best “frequency” or “energetic beat” that will help support the functions attributed to the vagus nerve. To be noted: as the person heals in the different areas it needs to heal, the vagus nerve will adjust its function to support its part. Therefore, it is important to note that there is no “right” way for the vagus nerve to function, or any correct type of measurement, as it will adjust to the person’s entire state of health. Example: if a person receives Harmonic Egg sessions for conditionX, the vagus nerve will also respond to the Harmonic Egg’s healing.

*Stimulating the vagus nerve and increasing vagal tone has been shown to help treat a wide variety of brain and mental health conditions, including:

  • Depression 
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Migraines 
  • Fibromyalgia 
  • Tinnitus 
  • Alcohol addiction 
  • Autism 
  • Bulimia nervosa
  • Personality disorders 
  • Heroin seeking behavior
  • Poor memory 
  • Mood disorders in the elderly 
  • Multiple sclerosis 
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder 
  • Severe mental diseases 
  • Traumatic brain injury 
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

Q) Can the HE work to molecularly restructure the body?

A) Sound is vibrating matter with a frequency, so the emanating waves from a given source do force molecular movement within the source (the molecules in the strings on a guitar, for example, move when plucked). The HE is emanating waves from a given source.

Using a designed supramolecular nanofiber placed in a solution, a research team led by A. Tsuda at Kobe University demonstrated that the nanofiber aligned and moved in response to a harmony when exposed to frequencies up to 1000 Hz. This is the first time a molecular happening like this has been reported.

https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/vvye34/scientists-have-proved-that-molecules-can-directly-respond-and-react-to-music

Q) Can HE help heal unhealthy cells?

A) In theory, yes, cells are fed and communicate through cellular ion channels. If cells are not healthy, channels may close or be obstructed.

Theory: Music / Sound vibrations can open up the channels and the cell gets fed and can communicate once again!

Q) What can we say about HE and Cancer?

A) Of course, no claims can be made in any modality or technology. Consider this…Cancer cells are more rigid and not flexible which is why they self-destroy because they cannot tolerate the disruption made by pure sound.

The HE is using pure sound to relax and soothe the client in the chamber.

Q) Does the HE support the Glia cells?

A) Yes, but it doesn’t appear to be able to regenerate them. They don’t seem to be very responsive to external type of energy.

It appears that Glial Cells are focused on internal neural communications versus anything external. Which is surprising because Glial cells are thought to consist 90% of the brain and astrocytes show an electrical potential like the neurons. Perhaps Glial cells are meant to regulate or interact within the internal network while neurons might react to external energies/frequencies. So, although the Harmonic Egg cannot regenerate the Glial cells, it can support the other functions that are implicated in the regeneration of Glial cells.

Q) Can the HE help the mitochondria?

A) Yes, it can affect the mitochondria. Genetically induced malfunctions of mitochondria will be more difficult. When working with non-genetic malfunctions the HE will be most effective.

Q) How effective is the HE at helping the body heal itself?

A) Very effective. In a healthy client, it’s more effective at helping and keeping it healthy. Which makes sense that an unhealthy client will need more time and assistance to get healthy, but then it can stay healthy.

Can we back this up?   Well, we have had clients indicate that they have had injuries / bruises and other wounds they feel have healed faster than normal after using HE. One person smashed their thumb nail quite badly and thought they would love the nail.  It ended up being a slight bruise under the nail after 4 weeks and 4 HE sessions.

Q) Does the HE work on a cellular level?

A) Yes.

https://spiritualityhealth.com/articles/2013/12/16/science-behind-healing-sound

“Using a Kirlian camera, Maman was able to document what happens to the energy fields of healthy human cells when exposed to a chromatic scale of sound frequencies. To his amazement he discovered that the color and shape of each cell and its subtle energy fields changed according to the pitch and timbre of each musical note. He also discovered that when the cell felt a ‘vibratory affinity’ with a certain note, the cell’s aura would transform into a mandala shape with vibrant colors of pinks and blues. Maman concluded this was the cell’s ‘fundamental note’, and if the person ‘tuned’ with it, harmony could be achieved within the cells, the energy field of the person and the outside world.” – http://tama-do.com/roothtmls/article-visions.html

Q) How many sessions does one need in the HE?

A) Loaded question. Everyone is different, but you need more than 1. I am suggesting to people with any condition, whether it be allergies, Parkinson’s or other, be prepared to do 4-10 sessions in a short period of time.  Highly recommended is 1 session every 4 days for 4-10 sessions.  We are offering a package of 10 sessions of $1,080 (expires in 6 months) for those that want to commit to their evolution and healing.  Single sessions are $125.  The best way to do it would be to do 1 session every 4 days for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 session and then give your body several weeks (probably 4 weeks) of rest to see where things level out.   That means to watch your diet during the sessions and during the rest period.  Listen to your body about doing other healing work.  Drink plenty of clean, pure water and replenish your vitamins and minerals with fruits, veggies and electrolytes.  We sell a great product at Life Center for $13.99 (15 packets) or $28.99 (70 serving canister).  Easy!

Q) How does HE work on anti-aging?

A) It aids in detoxing, increasing circulation and vibrationally harmonizing the body which then leads the body to begin rejuvenation at cellular level. The HE assists in increasing the circulation of any fluids and energy inside the human body, thus working in harmony with the detox/cleansing process. The increase of blood circulation appears to be positive for supporting the rejuvenation process at the cellular level. The actual “flow” energizes the cells to function at a higher level, calibrating more closely to the rate at a younger age.

Q) Will the HE reduce free radicals which damage and age us?

A) Yes, the HE expulses some free radicals and neutralizes others. The HE also makes the body/spirit healthier and therefore help the body repel toxins by itself. We want to empower the body to work naturally as effectively as it can.

Q) Does the HE help to get rid of viruses, bacteria and fungi in the body?

A) Indirectly. The HE does not superficially heal the immune system, but it goes deeper and treats what supports the immune system. The immune system is very complex and the HE goes to that complex depth. That’s why it is powerful. Some other types of healing machines/instruments might treat the surface and make the person feel better immediately but the effect does not last. With the HE, it might take longer only because it is going to the source of the issue. The egg can change a human’s vibrational frequency to a healthier level so the body can work more effectively and the person’s body will be better equipped to fight it off the next time it comes around. The stronger the entire human system is, the lower the risk of a virus being able to attack it.

Q) Does the Harmonic Egg effect the craniosacral rhythm?

A) The internal geometry of the egg effects the natural production and absorption of spinal fluid called the craniosacral rhythm.  The geometry creates a still point which is a temporary shutdown of this rhythm in the body.  The still point allows for the vibrations from the technology to profoundly affect the individual on a deeper level than would be accessible if the individual were to simply listen to the music being played.  Once the individual steps out of the technology, the craniosacral rhythm resumes its normal cycle with the new pattern being interlaced within it thus promoting healing.

Why did I create the Harmonic Egg?

Why the Harmonic Egg?

It’s been the question of the day since I announced the creation in July, 2017.

I have been studying sound and light therapies and healing for eight years. I have owned and operated my own healing center during this time and observed the effects of several therapies on clients’ health and well-being. I have owned and operated two technologies of sound and light chambers. I created the Harmonic Egg as a new and innovative, next generation healing chamber based on my observations of clients before and after sessions, research on the modality, reading books from experts in the industry, white paper studies and collaboration with the medical community.  The Harmonic Egg is a large ellipse (egg shape) where the client reclines inside the “egg” or chamber in a chair. We are getting great feedback thus far and continue to do research.

It was not easy to build this unit. The materials used are natural. It was a challenge to find materials that could bend in the shape of an ellipse to form an egg. Plus, we had to create a chamber that resonated the sound in a holographic-like micro-environment. Instead of hearing the sound from a speaker, you hear it in what I think is its natural broadcast. It’s super fun! Sometimes I hear the sound above my head and I know there are not any speakers above my head. The angles, the ratios and all the other concepts we use in this Harmonic Egg is proprietary information, but it was well thought out and evolved from ancient teaching and texts. The best room size for the Harmonic Egg is 14×14. It took about almost a year from start to finish to create the first prototype that is now operational at Life Center in Westminster, Colorado.

One of the issues I observed with the previous technologies was sound distortion. In the previous chambers, automotive type round speakers are used beneath a thick foam pad where the client lies flat during sessions.  There is cubic air space under the speakers, but I don’t believe it’s the proper cubic air space for the rating of the speakers. I always felt there was a lot of distortion from the music having to come through a foam pad. Our nervous systems tend to take distortion and make up “data” to fill in gaps to process information. My experience and research led me to realize that I wanted to get the purest sound and little to no distortion, hence another reason for the Harmonic Egg.

Let me mention here that lying flat for some clients is not comfortable nor relaxing. Clients have neck and back issues and want pillows and bolsters as props for comfort. In addition, some clients have a hard time rolling up from a flat position to exit the chamber. The Harmonic Egg uses a reclining chair and has been much more comfortable for clients.

There is also the issue of the music that is being played. Over the years, I have studied sound and how different instruments effect / affect the body (physically and emotionally so I am using both spellings of the word). I have worked with sound and lighting experts gathering lots of information to create the Harmonic Egg. When you compress a CD into an MP3 format you lose much of the quality, frequencies, musical information, etc.  Compression changes the original intent of how the music was intended to be enjoyed. MP3s are for convenience so you can fit 1,000 songs on your MP3 player. It’s quite complicated, but easy to understand once you hear the difference. Based on my experience, two previous technologies both use compressed music. The Harmonic Egg uses the higher quality CD resolution giving the body and nervous system a purer listening experience. There is a difference!!!!  Then there was the investigation for the right speakers, subwoofer, amplifier and player for the music. Sound systems are not all created equal; the components have to all play nicely together. For example, there are surround amplifiers and integrative amplifiers and subwoofers that have speakers on the side and the bottom versus just the bottom or just the side. Speakers have different elements that make them relevant for different applications. The sound system was the second most important consideration after designing the structure and shape of the Harmonic Egg.

Oh, not to mention the search for the right kind of music to use and the right tones and instruments and frequencies. This is something I have been studying for six years. It’s important to consider:  Who is the artist? What is their intention of the music? I learned so much about selecting music…testing and seeing how clients respond to the music and paying attention to the sound quality and frequencies. These are important details that effect / affect the clients’ response in the Harmonic Egg.

You can purchase Harmonic Egg music here.

Next there is the light therapy. I think in the future we will get more and more sophisticated technologies, but for now we do know that different light frequencies are effective / affective for healing. For example, if you are a woman with a lot of yeast infections this can be due to an imbalance in the body (specifically the sacral chakra), and using orange light and the instrument of the flute can help bring that back into balance. This is the type of training I never received with the two previous technologies, but after studying for the past ten years I can offer this type of training with the Harmonic Egg. Many lighting systems don’t give you the full color spectrum of lights. It took me about eight months of research to choose the lights and the right type of remote to control the lights and light settings.

We can’t forget about the chair for the client while they are in a session. I searched the world over for a chair that reclines at the right angle for the best results in the Harmonic Egg. It also had to meet the criteria for size and comfort for so many shapes and sizes of clients. It was a matter of thinking about how the client would feel and how the technician putting them in for a session would be able to comfortably and easily support the client.

Every thought and idea for the Harmonic Egg was well thought out for both the client and the center owner or technician from the complexity of the technologies used, effectiveness, to the ease of setup and use, cost and comfort.

learn more about frequency medicine imageHow long does a client need to stay in the chamber, the protocol? We are using 40 minutes and then the POWERFUL 10 minutes of silence in the chamber to integrate the session. It’s truly an amazing experience! I read a white paper in 2016 that came out of Feiburg, Germany. It described the use of deep relaxing music to help patients heal and they discovered a period of 6.5 minutes of silence helped integrate the healing, so I adopted that discovery and added a few extra minutes because I feel the silence is important and more was needed. If you have read anything about chiropractic care and its beginnings, there are accounts where the doctor was trained to ensure the patient rests at the office for a short time to help the adjustment integrate and set into the body. Integration of all these modalities that people do these days is so very important.  I give the analogy of digesting food. You don’t eat a salad and then when you are full go eat a sandwich and then pile another salad on top of that… do you? No! You let the first salad digest and “integrate” with your body before moving on to a sandwich later in the day or the next day.  Energy work is the same…you must let one modality digest before you “feed” it more.

We recommend, for chronic conditions, doing 3-10 sessions in a short period of time.  Say once a week to reset / retrain the old patterns and conditions.  After that we reevaluate for future use.  You might then join the membership as a once a month maintenance to keep up with the energy.  Everyone is different and we talk to you about your unique situation ad desired health goals.  I do phone consults, for an additional charge, to help you navigate diet and other factors.

Finally, I did think about and tried aromatherapy in the room for the clients. The determination thus far is that it’s a bit of sensory overload for many clients. It might be something to use on a case-by-case basis, but as of now I am not using it. There are so many clients with neurological issues and chemical sensitivities I just don’t think it’s needed nor will it make the sessions more effective.

So, that’s the story of the Harmonic Egg and why I created it! If you have any questions or would like to learn more you can contact me.

In gratitude,

Gail Lynn

Research Shows the Health Benefits of Music


By Jacob Devaney on Friday November 6th, 2015

Scientists are now supporting the claim that Music is Medicine

There are many mindfulness practices to stimulate inner awareness, increase health, and elevate our mood. Now we can add to that list practices such as listening to Mozart with your full being while sipping tea, singing a pop-song out loud while you drive across town, or losing your body to ecstatic dancing. Scientific research now shows us the ways that music has a physiological effect on our bodies and can improve concentration, relieve stress, act as an antidepressant and more.

Music’s beneficial effects on mental health have been known for thousands of years. Ancient philosophers from Plato to Confucius and the kings of Israel sang the praises of music and used it to help soothe stress. Military bands use music to build confidence and courage. Sporting events provide music to rouse enthusiasm. Schoolchildren use music to memorize their ABCs. Shopping malls play music to entice consumers and keep them in the store. Dentists play music to help calm nervous patients.

Take a moment and listen to Billie Holiday’s Lady Sings the Blues and you will be transported to another time. Sing along with her and you may ooze with the feelings as if they are your own. Crank up Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and you will be filled with emotions you may have never known existed. This capacity to feel is core to having compassion, yet music also has a profound effect on cognitive processes and learning also.

Music has a profound effect on cognitive processes and learning

Auditory biology is not frozen in time. It’s a moving target. And music education really does seem to enhance communication by strengthening language skills. – Nina Kraus, the Hugh Knowles Professor of Communication Sciences, Neurobiology & Physiology, and Otolaryngology at Northwestern University as well as the principal investigator at the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory

Musical entrainment

Musical entrainment creates connection both internally and externally which can be seen when watching a whole crowd dance to a live band, or the people around you sobbing at an opera. Science explains this as an aspect of mirror neurons, which are a form of mimicking that can happen emotionally and physically. Maybe a song will give you chills, make you cry, or spontaneously start jamming on an air guitar, or dancing uncontrollably. In the study, The Neuroscience of Music, published by the Department of Psychology at McGill University, Montreal, researchers found preliminary scientific evidence supporting claims that music influences health through neurochemical changes in four domains: reward, motivation and pleasure; stress and arousal; immunity; and social affiliation.

Woman listening to music
Listening to music has potentially therapeutic effects

The potential therapeutic effects of music listening have been largely attributed to its ability to reduce stress and modulate arousal levels. Listening to ‘relaxing music’ (generally considered to have slow tempo, low pitch, and no lyrics) has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety in healthy subjects, patients undergoing invasive medical procedures (e.g., surgery, colonoscopy, dental procedures, pediatric patients undergoing medical procedures, and patients with coronary heart disease.
– The Neurochemistry of Music

Human cultural universal

It is no surprise that music has been used in ritual and ceremony since the beginning of time. Women share playlists for the delivery room to welcome new life. You can even higher a hospice harpist to help the transition from a terminal disease. Music education has also been shown to help children’s developing brains. So it is only natural to place it in a category for mindfulness, meditation, and healing.

Music is a language of energy, a “vibe” of emotions and joy. It speaks to our core desires and feelings. It speaks to our core desires and feelings. It spans language barriers and political borders, making it a powerful means through which humans can connect.

Music is also a reflection of culture. In today’s world we are experiencing an unprecedented fusion of ideas through the internet and technology. We are re-mixing historical themes, embellishing forgotten ideas and combining belief systems across time and societies. For instance, electronic dance music has captured wide acclaim as DJs and producers improvise with musical tools that have the ability to drop samples, mix, change tempo and induce ecstatic states of consciousness. This music has become central to the emerging transformational, or visionary culture that is influencing our world view through integrating art, spirituality and technology.

As with everything else, it is our conscious intention or lack of it, that makes the difference in our experience.Try exploring new music when you want to get out of a rut. Just as you are what you eat, you should choose your music wisely because it is influencing the way you feel whether you notice it or not.

Reflecting on Color Therapy

How color can help heal

How Color Can Help Us Heal

By Kirsten Antony, R.N. ~

This time of year, as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, we can find ourselves longing for longer and lighter days. Every season should be a celebration of life, and for these dark, winter days and nights, light and color have come to symbolize hope, love and brighter days ahead. Through the light of luminaries, candles, yule logs and colored lights that decorate our homes and trees, we can literally light up with happiness and warmth from light and color. These different types of light and color can be symbolic and have religious context but can also be completely practical as we need to light our path through the darkness. Light and color can also have an effect holistically as it can bring about psychological, physical, and spiritual changes when used in a therapeutic manner as a method of healing.

The use of color and light for healing purposes is also known as chromotherapy or vibrational healing. To understand how light and color can have an impact of healing, we must first understand that on a quantum level, we are all light beings. The bodies that we see are simply light vibrating at a lower electromagnetic frequency that is visible to the human eye and we consider matter. Light is pure energy and color is the interaction of light energy and matter. The colors that we can see on the visible light spectrum are expressed through wavelengths. The specific color we view depends on the set electromagnetic frequency. For example, red has the longest wavelength on one end of the spectrum and violet is on the other end of the spectrum and has the shortest wavelength and highest vibratory rate. Outside of the visible light spectrum would be ultraviolet and infrared light. Chromotherapy uses light and color to balance the energies that run throughout the body.

Light and color are being used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Full-spectrum white light is used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), addictions and behavioral disorders. These artificial lights are used to mimic sunlight and helps balance brain chemistry. Blue light is used in hospitals to treat neonatal jaundice. Blue light is also being used to treat skin conditions like acne. Red light has been used for years in healing the skin and has become popular lately in the beauty industry in assisting with cosmetic skin issues.

There are many products on the market that offer light or color therapy. Some of my favorite products integrate more than one modality. Aromatherapy diffusers that also use color therapy are available as well as infrared saunas that offer detox through heat as well as the use of color therapy. Alarm clocks that use light that brightens as you arise eases you into the start of the day.

Westminster, Colorado is home to Life Center and a unique healing experience in what is known as The Harmonic Egg. Gail Lynn, PhD, is creator of The Harmonic Egg and owner of Life Center. The Harmonic Egg is a healing chamber in the shape of a large dodecahedron egg. This innovative technology offers healing through light, frequency, vibration and sound in a sacred geometric shape. The client relaxes back in a zero gravity chair while being surrounded and embraced by soothing light, sound and vibration. My experience in the Harmonic Egg was one of complete peacefulness and a level of deep stillness and relaxation that I had never experienced before.

Beyond physical healing, color can bring beauty into our lives through art, interior design and fashion. Analyzing the colors we are drawn to and look into the meaning behind the colors can be playful and fun!

A sampling of a typical color chart and the meanings the energies express may look like this:

Red: Excitement, love and energy
Orange: Stimulating, happy and warmth
Yellow: Laughter, hunger and intelligence
Green: Nature, money and harmony
Blue: Communication, serenity and truth
Purple: Wisdom, royalty and spirituality
Pink: Romance, calmness and gentleness

The colors we choose to wear can be an indication of the need to balance a certain energy in the body. When angry, wearing red would be a color that could provoke more of the same type of energy in the body. To balance the energy, wearing a color of the opposite nature, such as blue, would be good to bring the body back into balance. Not “feeling blue”, but not wanting to be “seeing red” anymore? Laugh it off and wear something yellow.

The psychology of color is also fascinating. The colors of red, orange and yellow are used in many logos and interior design in fast food establishments in hopes to stimulate the appetite of the patrons and get us in and out of the “fast” food restaurants. Red, orange and yellow are warm colors can be very stimulating and cool colors such as blue and purple can be used to bring about relaxation.

The Christmas season is often associated with the colors red and green. The history of these color choices and what they represent could possibly be traced all the way back to pagan celebrations and the use of holly (green) and berries (red) in celebration of the winter solstice. Bringing the color green indoors during a time when most of nature is hibernating is symbolic of celebrating life during the season of slumber.

Kirsten AntonyThis holiday season, I hope you take time to reflect on the love, light, hope and beauty that surrounds us all. Happy Holidays!

How to Breathe Correctly

Proper Breathing is Important to the Body

Many people do not breathe correctly. When you breathe the right way, your stomach, diaphragm and rib cage should expand outward. Every cell in the body needs oxygen to survive. Proper breathing helps to increases mental clarity, stamina, better moods, and helps the body detox more efficiently. The way we breathe dictates oxygen quantity and nervous system balance. Unbalanced breathing will negate any attempts to maintain proper pH balance without which every biochemical reaction in the body becomes at risk.

Celery Juice 101

Wondering how to make celery juice, why it’s helpful, how long it will take you to feel its benefits, and if babies and pregnant women can drink celery juice? Or are you curious about the sodium content of celery juice or whether it contains nitrates or oxalates? Or maybe you’d like to add other ingredients to your celery juice but don’t know if that is recommended?

I want you to get the healing benefits that celery juice can offer when consumed in the right way. So below I have taken 21 of the top questions we receive about celery juice every day and answered them for you. I highly recommend taking the time to read through these questions thoroughly so you can get the most from your celery juice.

1. What is the ideal amount of celery juice to receive the healing benefits?

16 ounces of straight celery juice a day is ideal for receiving its healing benefits. Increasing your intake up to 24 to 32 ounces a day can be extremely beneficial for anyone suffering with chronic illness or symptoms.

2. How much celery is needed to make 16 oz of juice?

One large bunch typically makes 16 oz of juice.

3. When is the best time to drink celery juice?

The best time to drink celery juice is in the morning on an empty stomach before you consume anything else other than water or lemon water (wait at least 15 to 30 minutes after the lemon before having your celery juice. Celery juice is a medicinal, not a caloric drink, so you’ll still need breakfast afterward to power you through the morning. Simply wait at least 15 to 30 minutes after drinking your celery juice before consuming anything else.

If you’re unable to consume your celery juice first thing in the morning before food, then the second-best option is to drink it 15 to 30 minutes before eating something or 30 to 60 minutes after eating something anytime during the day. If you’re having 32 ounces a day, you may wish to have it in two 16 ounce servings. You can drink the first serving in the morning on an empty stomach before eating and the second in the late afternoon or early evening, at least 15 to 30 minutes before eating your next meal.

4. Which juicer do you recommend?

Masticating juicers are the best juicers for making celery juice. Greenstar Juicer, Omega Juicer, and Aicok Juicer are all great depending on your budget, but any juicer will work.

5. Does the celery have to be organic?

Organic is best, but if you can’t get organic don’t worry. You can purchase conventionally grown celery. Then wash each stalk with a drop of natural fragrance-free dish soap, followed by rinsing in water. If you don’t have natural clear dish soap, give the celery a quick rinse in warm water. Making sure to rinse each stalk.

6. Can I make celery juice ahead of time?

It’s best to drink celery juice immediately after juicing. But if you don’t have options other wise, do not let it go past one day (24 hours). If using this option, make sure to seal it in a mason jar, and store in the fridge.

7. Is it okay to add lemon or lime to my celery juice?

Celery juice works best on it’s own. Adding other ingredients to the juice will dilute its medicinal properties. This includes lemon, lime, ginger, apple, orange, leafy greens, carrot, beet, or any other ingredient. Wait 15-30 minutes after drinking your celery juice, before consuming anything else.

8. Is there anything that can be added to celery juice to make it more beneficial?

Celery juice is a healing tool for the chronically ill. It has healed and continues to heal millions of people worldwide. Sadly, some individuals are now trying to take advantage of the popularity of celery juice by changing the recipe and adding new ingredients so they can call it their own and profit from it. They recommend adding ingredients like collagen, apple cider vinegar, and activated charcoal to celery juice, but these three items all destroy and denature celery juice when added to it, taking away all of its one of a kind healing properties and bringing ingredients into your body that don’t support healing.

For the protection of your own health, it’s important you are aware of how misleading and unhelpful these trends are that compromise the purity and power of celery juice. These trends have been started by individuals who don’t even believe in celery juice and the healing properties it possesses. They never knew of its existence as a healing tool until the global celery juice movement I started began to organically reach millions of people because it is so effective at helping to heal all kinds of health symptoms and conditions.

These financial investor created trendsetters don’t even know what it is about celery juice that makes it so effective, such as its undiscovered sodium cluster salts that destroy the cell membranes of pathogens so they can be killed off and how the cluster salts rebuild hydrochloric acid. Without knowing how celery juice works and why, they can’t know how to consume it to receive its benefits and how vital it is to not add ingredients such as collagen, apple cider vinegar and, and activated charcoal.

Knowing the right way to drink celery juice is critical for you to get its benefits. There are some nutritional compounds that can help activate or enhance the healing properties of celery juice even more. Some of those nutritional compounds include magnesium, l-glutamine and choline for example.

9. Can I just eat celery instead of juicing it?

The reason we juice the celery versus eating it is because juicing and removing the pulp (fiber) is the only way to get the powerful healing benefits for healing chronic illness. There is a trend that is now happening that recommends leaving the pulp in the drink and just have blended celery versus celery juice, which removes the fiber. Try not to get misled by this trend. Leaving the pulp in will keep you from receiving the unique healing benefits of celery juice.

Eating celery itself is helpful and should be part of your diet, but you will not be able to consume enough celery to get the benefits of juicing it. You wouldn’t be able to receive the concentrated undiscovered cluster salts, that do all of the following:

Quickly rebuild your hydrochloric acid so that your stomach can break down protein. If protein isn’t broken down properly it will cause gut rot. Strong hydrochloric acid is important to kill off pathogens entering your mouth.
Celery Juice increases and strengthens your bile. Strong bile is important for the break down fats, and for the killing off pathogens; that have made their way into your body. Eating straight celery wouldn’t allow you to get enough of celery’s cluster salts; that acts as antiseptics for pathogens.
Celery juice restores your central nervous system. Removes old toxins and poisons, such as: old pharmaceuticals from your liver.

10. Is celery juice okay to consume while pregnant?

Yes, celery juice is safe and healthy to consume while pregnant. If you have any concerns, you can consult your doctor.

11. Can breastfeeding women drink celery juice?

Celery juice is incredible for breastfeeding. It can provide an abundance of trace minerals, vitamin C and neurotransmitter chemicals such as the undiscovered sodium cluster salts for the baby to develop healthy, strong organs. Celery juice also helps clean and detoxify the breast milk, purifying it so the baby receives the purest breast milk possible.

12. Can babies and children drink celery juice?

Yes, celery juice is incredible for the health and development of babies and children.

13. Is it normal to experience a change in bowel movements after drinking celery juice?

Some people may experience a change in their bowel movements when starting to consume celery juice. This is a normal detox reaction that some individuals who have a higher level of toxins may experience. Celery juice will kill off unproductive bacteria in the gut and will also help purge the liver. This can result in loose stools as the body pushes out the toxins from a very toxic liver. Almost everyone today has some degree of liver toxicity, which, as I share in my book Liver Rescue, can lead to countless symptoms and conditions. The loose stools will pass as your body heals and you may notice your bowel movements become more regular and healthier than ever. If you find celery juice too cleansing, try 16 oz of straight cucumber juice. Cucumber juice does not have the same benefits celery juice does but it is very gentle and a great choice until you can restart celery juice.

14. Will I experience an increase in symptoms after drinking celery juice?

Celery juice is very healing, and the undiscovered sodium cluster salts will begin to kill off pathogens like viruses such as Epstein-Barr and Shingles, as well as bacteria such as Streptococcus inside the body right away. For some people, if they’ve already experienced some symptoms on and off in their life such as fatigue or other symptoms, it’s possible that in some cases these people may temporarily experience symptoms again. These symptoms will be short and brief as the body heals and cleans up. This is a powerful healing step that celery juice can offer for long term future health—WITHOUT symptoms.

However, many times when someone reports feeling an increase in symptoms and thinks it’s because of the celery juice, it will actually be because of something else happening in their body, life or diet but the celery juice unfairly takes the blame. It’s important to understand what else could be happening inside the body and how dietary choices and other lifestyle factors could be leading to the increase in symptoms and conditions someone could be experiencing and how to properly support the body to heal. This is what is covered in great depth in my books Liver Rescue, Thyroid Healing, Life-Changing Foods and Medical Medium. It’s never been more critical to empower yourself to become an expert on the true causes of your symptoms and conditions.

15. Is it normal to get bloated after drinking celery juice?

Celery juice rapidly speeds up digestion. It does this by prompting the liver to increase bile production, and instantly strengthening the stomach’s hydrochloric acid production. Which then begins to break down old undigested rotting protein, old rancid fats trapped at the bottom of the stomach, and in the small intestinal tract that have been there for decades in everyone. Once these fats and proteins dissolve, bloating tends to go away for almost everyone who is dealing with chronic bloating issues. But for some, a feeling of bloating can occur that can be mild to severe, depending on how toxic someone’s digestive tract has become and how much old rotten undigested debris is in their digestive tract. As these individuals continue to use celery juice the right way long term, the condition and toxicity of their digestive tract will improve and bloating can disappear— as long as their other eating choices are within the guidelines shared in the Medical Medium information.

16. Does celery juice contain oxalates?

There is a myth that certain leafy green vegetables and herbs like celery are high in oxalates and are therefore harmful. This is completely incorrect and is preventing many people from getting some powerful and needed nutrients and healing properties provided by foods deemed to be high in oxalates. Oxalates are not the concern they are believed to be.

There are oxalates in every single fruit and vegetable on the planet. The vast array of nutrients in so-called high oxalate leafy greens and celery are some of the most nutritious available to us. Medical research and science has not discovered that there are anti-oxalates in fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens that prevent the oxalates from causing us the damage the current trend tells us they do. In reality, these foods don’t cause us any harm, rather they provide us with critical healing nutrients like phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals.

17. Can I take celery juice powder or celery powder instead of drinking fresh celery juice?

No, celery juice powder and celery powder can’t replace fresh celery juice. Celery juice powder and celery powder don’t offer any of the benefits that 16 ounces of fresh straight celery juice can. Selling celery juice powders and putting celery inside supplements is going to become a popular trend as celery juice becomes even more well known and people try to profit off the global celery juice movement that is healing the chronically ill. Try to avoid all of these fads. They are a waste of money and they don’t offer the same healing benefits as drinking straight, fresh celery juice every day.

18. Are there nitrates in celery juice?

Celery and celery juice can’t contain any nitrates that are activated or harmful unless the celery has oxidized or been dehydrated. The naturally occurring nitrates in celery don’t exist when the celery or fresh celery juice hasn’t yet oxidized. When fresh celery juice or celery does oxidize, just like when any herb, vegetable or fruit oxidizes, then a naturally occurring nitrate can develop. But this naturally occurring nitrate is also never harmful in any way, shape or form. Celery juice powder and celery powder have oxidized so they can contain naturally occurring nitrates because that developed through the oxidation process.

These nitrates are not the same variety of nitrates which are considered to be irritating to some people. It’s important to know that not all nitrates are the same, just like all people are not the same, all water is not the same, all sugar is not the same, and all protein is not the same. For example, gluten is an entirely different protein than the protein inside meat or the protein inside nuts. Also, the naturally occurring nitrates that can develop in an oxidized form of celery such as celery powder and celery juice powder are not the same as the harmful nitrates that are added to meat and all kinds of other products.

Also, nitrates are different to nitrites; they’re not the same thing. Even celery powder, which does contain naturally occurring nitrates, can’t be relied upon as a method for curing foods such as pickles or meat because it still doesn’t contain nitrites. Fresh celery juice also doesn’t contain nitrites. Anything naturally occurring in celery and celery juice is not harmful. This is the same for pure celery powder and pure celery juice powder. However, harmful nitrates can be added to celery powder or celery juice powder by the company that makes it or uses it in another product. Your fresh celery juice can not have harmful nitrates in it unless you were to add them in yourself.

If you don’t drink fresh celery juice because you believe it contains harmful nitrates, then you are unfortunately going to lose the unique healing opportunity fresh celery juice, which does not contain nitrates, can provide.

19. How long does it take to feel the benefits of drinking celery juice?

It depends on what condition the person is in. Almost everyone feels benefits of some kind in their first week of drinking celery juice in the right amount and in the right way daily. Many people even feel benefits after their first juice. It all depends on the person and their circumstances, such as their health conditions and symptoms and how toxic and overburdened their liver is with different pathogens and poisons such as pesticides, solvents, herbicides, toxic heavy metals, and all kinds of other chemicals and toxins. (See Liver Rescue for more information on what having a toxic liver means, how common it really is and how to heal your body). If someone is dealing with weight issues, if they have a lot of putrefied and rancid fats in their colon, and/or a lot of bacteria in their intestinal tract such as streptococcus, this will also affect the healing timeline.

The amount of stress someone is experiencing in their life, what else they choose to eat and drink in addition to their straight celery juice, and their other lifestyle habits will also play a role in how long it takes for someone to feel the benefits. But most people do feel a difference rather quickly. Some people who have been drinking celery juice for a long time get used to how good or how much better it makes them feel than when they weren’t drinking it. Then they stop drinking celery juice temporarily, like many do, and find they don’t feel as good anymore. They realize at this point just how instrumental the celery juice was in helping them feel better.

It’s important to know that even if someone doesn’t see or feel the benefits of drinking celery juice quickly, it doesn’t mean the benefits aren’t happening. Everybody who drinks celery juice receives benefits immediately, because the healing powers of celery juice begin working immediately upon entering the body. For some people, it can take a bit of time to see or feel the benefits in a tangible way they can notice, even though the celery juice has been providing healing benefits from the first drink internally.

20. Is there too much sodium in celery juice?

All salt is not the same, just like all sugar is not the same. Consuming high fructose corn syrup, which is detrimental to health, is not the same as eating an apple, which can bring healing to the liver and provide a wealth of critical nutrients. So don’t get confused by the idea that all salt is the same, because it’s not.

If you hear someone say that there’s too much salt in celery juice, they’re not correct. The sodium cluster groups in celery juice are a subgroup of sodium. Science and research have not even discovered all the variations of trace minerals and subgroups of sodium that reside in celery juice. Sodium cluster salts are healing for the body and we can’t get have enough of them. Sixteen ounces of celery juice on a daily basis provides these sodium cluster salts we so greatly need.

Celtic sea salt or Himalayan rock salt are entirely different forms of sodium. No matter how high quality the salt, putting Celtic sea salt or Himalayan rock salt in a drink or on your food is not the same as consuming enough of these undiscovered sodium cluster salts from celery juice. Sodium cluster salts are the only form of sodium that destroys pathogens, helps detox the body and helps restore electrolytes and neurotransmitter chemicals. The sodium in celery juice is a medicinal sodium that’s meant for your bloodstream and your body whereas you need to cautious of consuming too much of the type of sodium that comes in even the highest quality salts.

21. Can I juice celery root instead of celery?

No, celery root is a different plant to the large bunches of celery stalks with leaves. Juicing celery root will not provide the same healing benefits.
