4 Steps to Spiritually Navigate Quarantine

Coronavirus is calling for a pause in everyday busyness and opening a space for stillness and introspection.  The coronavirus has created a fissure in the fabric of reality where we are now able to see two vastly different realities at one time.  This pandemic is pulling back the veil of perception so that you — if you choose — are able to enter a new paradigm , which meditation, mindfulness, and certain philosophies have been pointing to for years. This new reality isn’t really new,  it has existed just underneath the perception of everyday life, subtly waiting for humanity to access this infinite field.  Right now, you are being given a choice. Will you continue in chaos and uncertainty or will you decisively choose peace and spaciousness, no matter the journey that it entails?  The first reality is governed by your ego’s perception of the coronavirus.  This surface reality is permeated with fear, uncertainty, and anxiety.  Just under this l...

Experience Peace and Light in Any Environment

If you only had the journey and no guaranteed outcomes, would you slow down and enjoy the process a bit more? Would you have more fun or be kinder to yourself? When you explore this possibility and start to enjoy the journey, one of two things will happen.  Either your desired outcome will manifest, or it won’t. If it doesn’t, the “lack” of outcome won’t matter because you will have slowed down and enjoyed the process. You will always experience either the outcome you hope for, or something better. So, if your desired outcome doesn’t manifest there is something better in store for you... . something that you can’t even dream of. Something so amazing that you can’t begin to conceptualize or desire it.  What if this were true? How would you act differently? How would you show up? Would you bring more of yourself to each moment?  With no outcome to bank on, the only guaranteed reward is moving through the journey with more integrity, courage, conviction, and f...

A brief overview of when/how vitamin D tests

The best way to establish your vitamin D levels is to take a blood test .  There  are  several forms of vitamin D ,   and popular opinion suggests that  the best test to  take  is  the   25(OH) D blood test , which  stands  for 25-hydroxyvitamin D .  1  You can take th is  test  either  at your doctor ’ s or purchase a n  in-home testing kit  2 . Both ways produce accurate results.   The test involves taking a small sample of your blood via  a tiny prick  on the finger, which is  then  analyzed in a laboratory to determine vitamin D levels.    Testing for  vitamin D  levels   3   has become more common and easy to do. For a  time,  the perception was that it was an expensive test that provided  little or  no definite proof for treatment.  However,  research 4  has shown  that early testing can help w...

Getting Efficient Vitamin D in the Fall

Fall is basically here and that means the autumn leaves start to change into red, yellow, and brown and fall off the trees. Night time arrives faster which means the shorter days, there’s less sunlight, and colder weather. Kissing summer goodbye is hard enough but also finding the right amount of vitamin D your body needs  during this time is also a struggle. A recent study by BetterYou found that 19 per cent of British adults have low levels of vitamin D, and this is particularly problematic in autumn and winter.  Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is key for the maintenance of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Your main source of vitamin D is the sun – ultraviolet B radiation from sunlight can be  synthesised by vitamin D3 , the active form of Vitamin D, when exposed on the skin. Studies have shown that we need around 10 minutes of sunshine a day to get your Vitamin D fix, but of course, everyone is different and your levels will not only depend...
