No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
Vitamin D plays an important role in wellness and wellbeing. There are several ways to get Vitamin D- our systems are designed to get it from the sun, but there are obstacles to that. Northern latitudes in winter, constant use of sun block , and decreased metabolic efficiency after 50 or so interfere with the body's ability to produce sufficient Vitamin D.
You can supplement with Vitamin D, but this needs to be done thoughtfully and with the correct complimentary supplements. The best food source is Wild Alaska Salmon.
Vitamin D is fat soluble- too much is not good, and can be dangerous,so you want to know your vitamin D level. Ask your clinician for an order to have it checked at the lab.
Insurance may not cover it, you can check with different labs, prices can vary alot.
The days are getting longer, but it will be quite awhile before the snow melts. While you are enjoying the winterscape, check on your Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is complicated, and deficiency can be readily addressed, once it is identified. We'll post more about how Vitamin D works in the future.
Take the time to nurture relationships and establish new ones. It's easy to let time slip by and lose touch.. We support our communities and they support us
Nature follows cycles whether we are watching or not. These salmon know where they are going. I invite you to sit mindfully with them , and if you wish, share what that is like.
A dear friend is helping others with significant challenges today, and this is posted for her,
and for you.
Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
