When We Heal We Raise Our Vibration And When We Raise Our Vibration We Then Match The Frequencies Of New Earth Awareness & Consciousness

Welcome to Pure Love Holistics

Greetings, my name is Brian Kadmiri, founder and proprietor of Pure Love Holistics. I created this business in 2015 after personally overcoming a 20-year struggle with addiction. My battle with narcotics began in my teenage years and continued through my time as a music events producer and artist in the San Francisco Bay Area from the late '90s into the 2000s. During this time, I witnessed not only my own suffering but also that of my friends and family who faced similar struggles or tragically lost their lives to addiction.

It became painfully clear that a shift in my life was essential. And then, in 2009, a powerful epiphany led me to the profound realization of my true purpose. I began a deep dive into health and wellness, particularly indigenous wisdom and holistic healing, which I now believe is the path to true healing. Healing that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Through this journey, I integrated various holistic modalities into my life to heal the damage caused by years of substance abuse. These included:

Organic plant-based nutrition
Plant medicines
Vitamin and mineral therapies that rejuvenate and detoxify the body
Meditation, yoga, and breathwork
Exercise, frequency healing, and energy work
Tai Chi, Qi Gong, sauna therapy, and crystal healing
Music & sound therapy through frequencies, tones, and vibrations

By incorporating these practices into my daily routine, I completely healed from addiction. I no longer experience cravings, and I’ve repaired the neurological damage caused by years of substance abuse. I’m free of pain, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and all other lower vibrational energies that once held me back. Most importantly, my belief in God was restored, and today I’m in a place where I can "pay it forward" by sharing my healing journey with others.

Holistic living is now an essential part of my lifestyle. I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been, and I’m passionate about helping others achieve the same transformation. My goal now is to support individuals battling substance abuse and addiction through the powerful practices that helped me heal.

If you’re unfamiliar with holistic healing, I encourage you to explore the information on this site and start researching for yourself. Holistic modalities, when combined with the proper nutrition and essential vitamins and minerals, have been shown to effectively treat substance abuse and many other health issues. As Hippocrates wisely said, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." It’s time to step away from the mainstream medical system, which often focuses on symptom treatment through pharmaceuticals, and embrace holistic health care that addresses the root causes of illness.

If you’re ready to reset and cleanse your mind, body, and spirit—freeing yourself from the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual blockages caused by addiction—I invite you to contact me. Let’s begin the journey of realigning your life with the Pure Love Holistics protocol.

Thank you for visiting the site. I hope the information resonates with you, and I look forward to serving you on your healing journey.

May this find you well and in great spirit.

Nutritious Plant Based Meal Plans

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #1.)

It’s important for every person to develop healthy eating habits to keep our minds and bodies healthy from illness, but it’s also crucial for people who are recovering from a drug addiction.

Even short-term addiction can take a huge toll on the body as it is forced to work overtime to eliminate toxic substances and defend itself against the damage they do.

Achieving nutritional balance is essential in repairing the harm addiction does to the body.

How Substance Abuse Disrupts Nutrition

Each substance has its own set of specific effects on health, but many of them have similar impacts on a person’s ability to get all the nutrients necessary for health in recovery.

Those who abuse any drug are likely to experience one or more of these broad symptoms.

Loss of appetite:

Many substances suppress appetite or cause the user to forget about eating altogether.

Poor eating choices:

People under the influence are more likely to make poor decisions, like living on a diet of fast food or sweets.

Hypoglycemia:

Low blood sugar can be caused by a lack of sustenance or proper diet.

Organ Damage:

Most drugs cause direct damage to the organs responsible for nutrient breakdown and processing.

Gastrointestinal disorders:

Alcohol and other drugs contribute to chronic issues in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that prevent it from effectively taking up nutrients in food.

Alcohol and Nutrition:

People who abuse alcohol typically do not pay attention to nutrition.

Even those who were formerly healthy tend to let their good eating habits go as they become more consumed with the need to find and drink alcohol. This creates a two-fold nutritional problem because even if someone does manage to eat healthfully and get all their nutrients, alcohol prevents them from being fully absorbed.

Alcohol abuse also causes severe harm to two critical digestive organs:

The pancreas and liver. The pancreas makes enzymes necessary for digesting fats, proteins and carbs. It also produces hormones essential for balancing blood sugar. The liver breaks down toxins, including alcohol, and if it stops working correctly due to heavy drinking, the alcohol will circulate in the blood for longer and cause more damage to the digestive system.

Alcohol abuse is known to cause severe deficiencies in these essential nutrients:

Folic acid
Vitamin B6
Thiamine, or B1

Lack of these nutrients can result in anemia, which makes the sufferer feel cold, lethargic and frequently dizzy. They may also experience frequent headaches and feel short of breath. Thiamine deficiency is particularly dangerous, as it increases the likelihood of developing neurological conditions like Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.

Opioids and Nutrition:

When someone begins regularly misusing opioids, they often begin to develop disordered eating. There are several patterns of eating that result from appetite suppression due to excess dopamine production and the competing priorities of eating and continuing drug use.

Another issue is opioid-induced constipation, which can become severe over time. As the condition worsens, appetite suppression increases and eating can become painful. Stopping opioid abuse and consuming a plant based diet, packed with nutrient dense foods is a powerful way to get back on track after opioids have hijacked your nutrition.
When someone begins regularly misusing opioids, they often begin to develop disordered eating. There are several patterns of eating that result from appetite suppression due to excess dopamine production and the competing priorities of eating and continuing drug use.

These include: Eating fewer than two meals a day. Putting off meals to prolong the opioid intoxication. Failing to eat enough fruits and vegetables.

Stimulants and Nutrition:

Stimulants also cause appetite suppression, but do so by making people feel more energetic and “invincible” as though they don’t need to eat. People who abuse stimulants frequently go on binges of the drug in which they don’t eat or drink enough to nourish the body. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and heavily reduced food intake inevitably lead to malnutrition in those who use stimulants heavily. Some of the problems from this lack of nutrition include:

Mental health issues like depression and anxiety, cognitive issues like confusion and trouble problem-solving, disturbances in heart rate and rhythm, Low body temperature, Muscle wasting Weight loss.

After stopping stimulants, it’s common to experience a strong spike in appetite which may lead to overeating that can overwhelm the weakened digestive system.

A treatment program that pays close attention to nutrition for recovering addicts will create a meal plan with appropriate portions that will allow a healthy reintroduction of healthful food into the body.

How Nutrients Affect the Body:

Understanding the relationship between nutrition and addiction recovery means understanding the roles nutrients play in the body.

There are six nutrient groups derived from food that are considered essential, and they can be divided into micronutrients and macronutrients.
Macronutrients are those your body needs in large amounts each day to function.

Micronutrients are just as important, but you don’t need to consume as much of them to stay healthy.

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, while the macronutrients you need are protein, fat, carbohydrates and water.

Vitamins:

The human body needs 13 different essential vitamins to stay healthy. They are categorized by fat solubility or water solubility. Fat-soluble

Vitamins are:

Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K

The water-soluble vitamins are:

Vitamin B-1 (thiamine)
Vitamin B-2 (riboflavin)
Vitamin B-3 (niacin)
Vitamin B-5 (pantothenic acid)
Vitamin B-6
Vitamin B-7 (biotin)
Vitamin B-9 (folate or folic acid)
Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin C

Consuming a full suite of vitamins is essential because it:

Supports the immune system, Develops strong bones and teeth, Facilitates calcium absorption, Keeps skin and hair healthy, Facilitates protein and carbohydrate metabolization, Aides function of the brain and nervous system

Minerals:

The other type of micronutrient is minerals. Within this category is another division: major and trace minerals. The major minerals are:

Calcium
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Sulfur

These minerals allow your body to keep appropriate hydration levels, plus healthy hair and bones. The trace minerals you need are:

Chromium
Copper
Iodine
Iron
Manganese
Molybdenum
Selenium
Zinc

Getting enough of these trace minerals contributes to:

Healthy blood pressure
A healthy immune system
Proper blood clotting
Oxygen transfer
Tooth decay prevention

Protein:

Proteins are often referred to as the building blocks of the body. While it is most closely associated with muscle building, protein is found in every cell of the body, from bones to skin and hair.

Proteins are composed of a variety of amino acids. Your body is able to synthesize some of the amino acids on its own, but there are several you can only absorb from food. The body needs varied sources of protein for optimal function.

Fat and Fatty Acids:

Fat has gotten a bad rap in recent decades, as it can be associated with weight gain and poor health. However, it is essential to distinguish between unhealthy saturated or trans fats and healthy fat types like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

Healthy fats are necessary for:

Hormone production
Blood clotting
Muscle function
Blood sugar regulation
Brain function
Vitamin and mineral absorption
Immune function

The 2015-2020 edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans indicates that 20% to 35% of daily calorie intake should come from healthy fats.

Carbohydrates:

Carbohydrates, or carbs, are another nutrient that has been targeted for heavy reduction or elimination by diet fads. However, carbohydrates are essential for the function of the central nervous system and brain. They are so important that the Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests 45% to 65% of daily calories should come from carbs.

It’s important to distinguish between the less healthy simple carbs and beneficial complex carbs. Foods that include bleached flour and sugar should be avoided, while complex carbohydrates like "some" grains, starchy vegetables and fruits should be incorporated into a diet for recovering alcoholics or addicts.

Water:

While the body can withstand malnutrition for weeks, if not longer, dehydration quickly becomes a matter of life or death. Water makes up more than 70% of the body and plays vital roles in nearly every function. Critical examples include facilitating brain function, improving mood, flushing out toxins and transferring nutrients between cells.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine suggest 11.5 to 15.5 cups of water per day for adults.

Using Nutrition to Improve Neuroplasticity:

Neuroplasticity is a key concept in addiction recovery. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to form new connections and rearrange old ones, typically in response to injury, disease or a change in the environment. The development of addiction is itself an example of neuroplasticity, as the reward pathway’s activity chemically adapts to the presence of drugs or alcohol.

Once addiction has forced changes in the brain, however, it damages neuroplasticity and makes it much harder to adapt to sobriety. Additionally, the adaptations that the brain develops disrupt crucial neuropathways, decreasing neurotransmitters and their ability to move normally through the brain.

Brain imaging studies have revealed that drug addiction disrupts connectivity between different parts of the brain, making it more difficult to re-stabilize healthy neurotransmission during recovery. Fortunately, adequate nutrition can improve neuroplasticity by helping the brain replenish normal amounts of neurotransmitters.

Here is how the building blocks of nutrition help restore plasticity to the brain:

Carbohydrates: Aside from being the body’s primary energy source, carbs help the brain produce serotonin. This neurotransmitter is necessary for a stable mood, healthy sleep and reduced cravings for drugs or alcohol.

Amino acids:

Without enough amino acids, the brain cannot produce enough of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which results in more severe cravings, negative mood changes and greater aggression.

Dietary fat:

Dietary fat facilitates the regeneration of neuroplasticity by reducing inflammation and protecting the integrity of cell membranes in the brain.

Omega-3s: Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease inflammation and help the brain increase neurotransmitter uptake.

Omega-6s: These fatty acids balanced with omega-3s increase the function of neurotransmitter receptors, helping to increase the overall amount and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain.

The Role of Nutrition During Rehab

The majority of evidence-based treatment programs understand the importance of nutrition for recovering addicts and incorporate nutrition plans to help clients heal more fully.

Designing a meal plan that is balanced and satisfying is one way to significantly improve the experience of treatment.

Vitamins & Mineral Supplements

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item # 2.)

As the body detoxes from drugs or alcohol, the best thing you can do is give the body the correct vitamins and minerals it needs to function, heal and repair itself.

In recent years, the word “detox” has come to mean cleansing the body from everyday “toxins” by sticking to a special diet and even avoiding food altogether. But in the true medical sense, detoxification is a process that the body undergoes naturally when removing harmful substances like drugs and alcohol from your system. This is why individuals often experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when undergoing a detox. Instead of restricting food, the best thing you can do is give the body what it needs to function. Detoxing isn’t just about removing the bad stuff, it’s also about replacing it with the good.

How Addiction Causes Vitamin Deficiencies

Drug and alcohol abuse can cause long-term nutrient deficiencies in four ways:

1. Increasing Appetite

Certain substances can cause food cravings. For example, individuals with an addiction to heroin often crave sweets and sugary foods. Marijuana users also often feel hungry while using and try to satisfy the craving with low-nutrient meals.

2. Decreasing Appetite

Meth, crack, and cocaine users often have extremely decreased appetites. In this case, it’s not that they’re eating bad food necessarily. Rather, they’re not eating enough at all.

3. Encouraging Empty Calories

Alcoholics tend to get a huge amount of calories from drinks, but the drinks have little to no nutritional value. It’s not just alcohol users: people with addictions of all kinds will struggle to put together healthy meals for themselves, opting instead for fast food and junk food.

4. Inhibiting Nutrient Absorption

Even when an addicted individual does eat a healthy meal, chances are their bodies are not able to process the nutrients effectively. For example, alcoholism causes the body to struggle to absorb various forms of vitamin B. Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is especially important — a lack of B1 can cause Korsakoff’s Syndrome, also called “wet brain.” Even tobacco use causes a vitamin C deficiency and makes it hard for the body to use vitamin E, omega-3, zinc and beta-carotene.
The Necessary Nutrients for Drug Detox

When detoxing, the body will deplete its reserves for several nutrients and need extra nutritional support. Be sure to talk to your doctor before making any changes to your diet or taking any supplements, as they might not be right for your situation. For example, many alcoholics have a vitamin A deficiency, but we’re not putting it on this list. Too much vitamin A in an alcoholic’s body can cause fibrosis in the liver (a buildup of scar tissue).

Protecting brain health and mental health with good nutrition is essential while recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Brain imaging studies of people addicted to drugs display physical changes in areas of the brain associated with learning, memory, judgement, decision making, and behavior control, which in turn leads to cravings and enables compulsive and destructive behaviors, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports. Additionally, opiates typically cause gastrointestinal problems and nutrient depletion, while alcohol prevents nutrients being broken down and assimilated, resulting in nutritional deficiencies. Supplementing with important nutrients has the power to make you feel better mentally and physically during recovery and support you in overcoming addiction.

Amino acids

Amino acids are essential for boosting brain health in recovering addicts. In fact, amino acid therapy is now a common treatment wherein amino acid solution is typically injected into the bloodstream by trained physicians.

However, simply supplementing your diet with amino acids can effectively result in improved mental health. Drug and alcohol consumption interferes with the brain’s ability to regulate neurotransmitters — the body’s chemical messengers. For example, cocaine stimulates the brain’s dopamine production, a “feel-good” neurotransmitter that elicits feelings of pleasure.

As it becomes used to artificial stimulation from substances, addiction leaves the brain unable to produce its own neurotransmitters that function to look after mood and well-being. As a result, amino acid supplementation is important in addiction recovery: they’re precursors for important neurotransmitters related to addiction, such as, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. For example, alcoholics in recovery typically experience a decrease in the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Phenylalanine, an essential amino acid, is a precursor to the synthesis of norepinephrine, which therefore makes it important to supplement. Phenylalanine also converts to dopamine, another important neurotransmitter that plays an important role in the brain’s reward system.

Magnesium

Magnesium — a mineral that plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body — is very important for protecting neurological health. It decreases levels of stress and anxiety, lifts depression and brain fog, and boosts mood. In particular, magnesium has been found to decrease intensity of dependency on substances like opiates, nicotine, cocaine, amphetamine, and alcohol, and helps diminish withdrawal symptoms during the recovery process. It’s also been found to lower relapse rates, especially in cocaine and amphetamine addicts. Most people, however, are deficient in magnesium — particularly those experiencing alcohol addiction and withdrawal.

Fortunately, in alcoholics, magnesium has been proven to reduce withdrawal complications, the severity of withdrawal symptoms, and the need for anti-anxiety medication. Magnesium works by stimulating the brain’s reward system and regulating the production of neurotransmitters, which in turn decreases cravings for harmful substances. There are a number of delicious foods rich in magnesium, such as, dark chocolate, bananas, pumpkin seeds, almonds, avocado, and leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, and collard greens. However, magnesium can also be supplemented in the form of tablets, body oil, and Epsom salt baths — which is often necessary since feelings of stress and anxiety, along with a number of common psychiatric drugs, typically deplete magnesium stores.

Citicoline:

is an essential nutrient and the most bioavailable form of choline, another essential nutrient that works to maintain optimal mental health.

Citicoline stimulates the brain’s production of acetylcholine and dopamine, two neurotransmitters essential for brain function and mental health. It also boosts the number of acetylcholine and dopamine receptors in the brain.

Notably, a number of prescription drugs work to reduce levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which makes supplementation even more essential. Moreover, citicoline has been proven to be beneficial in the treatment of addiction.

For example, one study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology found citicoline supplementation helped participants addicted to cocaine reduce their usage of the drug. The participants were instructed to withhold from taking cocaine during the study and researchers measured lower levels of cocaine in participants’ urine at the conclusion of the study.

Additionally, another study published in the Psychopharmacology journal asked participants recovering from cocaine addiction to take 500mg of citicoline twice a day for two weeks. The supplement was found to reduce cravings for cocaine amongst participants.

There’s also preliminary research indicating citicoline may help people recovering from alcohol, and food addiction.

Food isn’t a strong source of citicoline and direct supplements are therefore an effective way of consuming the nutrient. Alternatively, choline can be found in foods like beans, cruciferous, vegetables, and eggs.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that protect brain health, improve mood and wellbeing, and aid sleep and memory. These essential fatty acids are also effective at preventing depression and anxiety, as well dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. When it comes to addiction, high levels of anxiety is a common reason for relapse. Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to reduce anxiety and help withdrawal symptoms in addicts. A study published in Psychiatry Research looked at relapse rates in people with cocaine addiction after being discharged from a drug detox program. Participants who didn’t relapse were found to have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood than participants who did relapse.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish like mackerel, sardines, salmon, and herring, as well as chia seeds, flaxseed, walnuts, and soybeans.

Good nutrition is essential for protecting your mental health and wellbeing in recovery. The right supplements can help produce and balance healthy levels of chemicals in your brain and prevent feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and irritability, which can often lead to relapse.

Amino acids, magnesium, citicoline, and omega-3 fatty acids are some of the most important supplements that can support you mentally and physically on the path to sobriety.

Green Superfood Smoothies & Juices

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #3.)

Superfoods To Cleanse The Body From Toxins

One of the key components to a Pure Love Holistics Protocol is the consumption of powerful SUPERFOODS!

The term "superfood" is used to describe foods that are believed to have exceptionally high levels of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants that help promote good health and prevent disease.

Superfoods are often touted for their high levels of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other very important nutrients.

When it comes to ultimate health and wellness it's important to know what superfoods are and their benefits.

Here's what we can offer in our superfood smoothies and superfood juices to help cleanse the body of free radicals, bad bacteria, viruses, pathogens and harmful chemicals.

Our superfood smoothies and juices are packed with the following:

Antioxidants:

Antioxidants are powerful compounds that protect against oxidation in the body. And the health benefits of antioxidant foods are nearly endless. Fortunately, you’ll find them in many different foods, herbs, and supplements.

By fighting free-radical damage, antioxidant foods can help reduce signs of aging, prevent cognitive decline, and protect the body from disease. In addition to antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, antioxidant herbs and antioxidant supplements in your diet can help strengthen your immune system, fight inflammation, boost your overall health and remove unwanted toxins!

Anti-inflammatory Foods:

One of the best ways to reduce inflammation lies not in the medicine cabinet, but in the refrigerator. By following an anti-inflammatory diet you can fight off inflammation for good. Which is a requirement in preventing sickness.

Two culprits that can cause the body to experience sickness and dis-ease are elements that cause inflammation and mucus. Certain superfoods can eliminate both.

What does an anti-inflammatory diet do? Your immune system becomes activated when your body recognizes anything that is foreign—such as invading microbes, viruses, pathogens or chemicals. This often triggers a process called inflammation. Intermittent bouts of inflammation directed at truly threatening invaders protect your health.

However, sometimes inflammation persists, day in and day out, even when you are not threatened by a foreign invader. That's when inflammation can become your enemy. Many major diseases that plague us—including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's—have been linked to chronic inflammation.

One of the most powerful tools to combat inflammation comes not from the pharmacy, but from the grocery store. "Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects.

Choose the right anti-inflammatory foods, and you may be able to reduce your risk of illness. Consistently pick the wrong ones, and you could accelerate the inflammatory disease process.

Flavonoids:

Flavonoids possess a number of medicinal benefits, including anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. They also have neuroprotective and cardio-protective effects. These biological activities depend upon the type of flavonoid, its (possible) mode of action, and its bioavailability.

Vitamin-Mineral-Protein Complex

The highest natural sources of vitamins and minerals in the most absorbable forms are present in these superfood smoothies and juices. They account for the best sources for calcium, magnesium, iron, trace minerals, complete protein, B12, B vitamins, vitamins A and E, as well as copper and zinc. And that’s just to name a few!

Overall you're receiving power packed medicinal juices and smoothies that will reverse aging, they provide vitality, mental clarity, clean sustainable energy and super detox capabilities that keep the blood and organs clean and functioning at full capacity.

Your mind, body and spirit will thank you everyday for providing it with the TLC it deserves.

Meditation

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #4.)

Another key element that's added to our protocols is Meditation.

Taking a few minutes to focus your mind each day can reduce stress, pain, depression, and more.

You can't see or touch stress, but you can feel its effects on your mind and body. In the short term, stress quickens your heart rate and breathing and increases your blood pressure. When you're constantly under stress, your adrenal glands overproduce the hormone cortisol. Overexposure to this hormone can affect the function of your brain, immune system, and other organs. Chronic stress can contribute to headaches, anxiety, depression, heart disease, and even premature death.

Though you may not be able to eradicate the roots of stress, you can minimize its effects on your body. One of the easiest and most achievable stress-relieving techniques is meditation, a program in which you focus your attention inward to induce a state of deep relaxation.

Meditation is thousands of years old and research shows that it has powerful healing effects. A research review published in JAMA Internal Medicine in January 2014 found meditation helpful for relieving anxiety, pain, and depression.

Meditation also works via its effects on the sympathetic nervous system, which increases heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure during times of stress. Yet meditating has a spiritual purpose, too. "True, it will help you lower your blood pressure, but so much more: it can help your creativity, your intuition, your connection with your inner self."

How it Supports Recovery:

When we're stressed, it's easy to get sucked into a damaging spiral of self-defeating thoughts. We need to actively take care of our emotional health in these moments. Focusing on the breath can restore a sense of calm and control that keeps our recovery on track.

How it Supports Recovery:

Negative self-talk is a common activity—and it's destructive. Thoughts like "I'm no good" or "Everyone's against me" drain the hope and energy we need to sustain positive change in addiction recovery. Recognizing and then challenging these damaging thoughts allow us to see ourselves in a more hopeful, more accurate light.

How it Supports Recovery:

Addiction limits our ability to connect with others in meaningful ways. Compassion strengthens our ability to build healthy, healing relationships that positively affect our inner emotions.

How it Supports Recovery:

Recovery is a journey, not a destination. Stillness opens our hearts and minds to the vast potential within us as we move through addiction treatment and into recovery.

How Does Pure Love Holistics Add Meditation To The Protocol?

We have many links to trusted sites that are very powerful meditation practices. The key is to properly become educated with those who have practiced Meditation for many years, who can teach you the necessary basic steps in order to receive it's full benefits. Certain techniques are very important to learn 1st before you can begin practicing meditation on your own

Exercise

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #5.)

Exercise:

Regular exercise has been shown to help boost energy levels and enhance your mood. It's also associated with many other health benefits, including a reduced risk of chronic disease for example.

Exercise is defined as any movement that makes your muscles work and requires your body to burn calories.

There are many types of physical activity, including swimming, weight training, cross fit, running, and walking, to name a few.

Being active has been shown to have many health benefits, both physically and mentally. It also helps extend our lives!

Here are the top 7 ways regular exercise benefits your body and brain.

1. Exercise can make you feel happier

Exercise has been shown to improve your mood and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.

Multiple published studies and reviews found that even 30 minutes of exercise is a day is enough to improve your mood.

Exercise increases brain sensitivity to serotonin and norepinephrine. These hormones relieve feelings of depression. It may also increase the production of endorphins, which help produce positive feelings and reduce the perception of pain.

Stopping to exercise may also affect your mood. Studies and reviews also found that active people who stopped exercising regularly experienced significant increases in symptoms of depression and anxiety, even after only a few weeks.

2. Exercise can help with weight management

Inactivity may play a major factor in weight gain and obesity, which may lead to health complications. Exercise can help you manage your weight by helping with energy expenditure, also known as spending.

Your body spends energy in three ways:

digesting food
exercising
maintaining body functions, like your heartbeat and breathing

A reduced calorie intake may lower your metabolic rate, which can temporarily delay weight loss. However, regular exercise will increase your metabolic rate. This can burn more calories and help you manage your weight.

Combining aerobic exercise with resistance training will also maximize fat loss and muscle mass maintenance. This could help you manage weight, maintain lean muscle, and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Exercise is good for your muscles and bones

Exercise plays a vital role in building and maintaining strong muscles and bones.

As people age, they tend to lose muscle mass, strength, and function. This leads to an increased risk of injury. Practicing regular physical activity is essential to reducing muscle loss and maintaining strength as you age.

Exercise also helps build bone density. Trusted studies and reviews found that regular exercise significantly improved bone density in the lumbar spine, neck, and hip bones. This may help prevent osteoporosis later in life.

Impact exercises like gymnastics, running, like playing soccer may help promote higher bone density than no-impact sports like swimming and cycling.

4. Exercise can increase your energy levels

Exercise can help boost your energy levels while helping to reduce fatigue. This may help as a treatment method if you have certain health conditions, such as cancer.

Aerobic exercise boosts your cardiovascular system and improves lung health, which may help with energy levels.

Your heart pumps more blood as you move, delivering more oxygen to your working muscles. With regular exercise, your heart becomes more efficient at moving oxygen into your blood.

Over time, exercise results in less demand on your lungs. This is one of the reasons why you may find yourself getting less and less out of breath during exercise.

5. Exercise can reduce your risk of chronic disease

Regular physical activity is a key factor in reducing your risk of chronic diseases, such as:

type 2 diabetes
heart disease
cancer: such as breast, colorectal, lung, and liver cancer, among other types
high LDL cholesterol and
hypertension

6. Exercise can help your brain health and memory

Exercise improves brain function and protects your memory and thinking skills.

To begin with, exercise increases your heart rate. This promotes the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain. It can also stimulate the production of hormones that enhance the growth of brain cells.

For example, exercise has been shown to cause the hippocampus to grow in size, which may help improve mental function. This is part of the brain that’s vital for memory and learning.

Regular physical activity is important in older adults because it can help slow down the physiological effects of aging in your brain. It may also help reduce changes in the brain that can contribute to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

7. Exercise can help with relaxation and sleep quality

Regular exercise can help you relax and sleep better.

It may help improve your sleep quality because the energy loss that occurs during exercise stimulates restorative processes during sleep.

Also, the increase in your body's temperature during exercise may help it drop during sleep, which could promote better sleep.

Particular studies conducted over a 4 month period of time, in people with chronic insomnia found that both stretching and resistance exercise helped improve sleep quality and duration while decreasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep.

Exercise reduces pain

Chronic pain can be debilitating. For many years, the recommendation for treating chronic pain is rest and inactivity.

However, aerobic exercise can serve as a natural treatment option to provide pain relief and improve quality of life.

One way that exercise may help prevent or reduce chronic pain is because it increases your pain tolerance over time.

Exercise may also help you control pain associated with various health conditions, including:

chronic low back pain
fibromyalgia
chronic soft tissue shoulder disorder

Exercise is also a great detoxifier!

In the Pure Love Holistics Protocol we will set you up with a exercise and sauna regimen to sweat out the impurities in the body.

Pure Love Holistics will also implement an exercise protocol that will fit your needs to help assist you with your goals, whether it's due to drug addiction, weight loss, or you would simply like to make a change in your lifestyle.

Sound Healing With Frequency & Vibration

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #6.)

What is a Sound Bath?

Sound baths are therapeutic and meditative experiences where the participants “bathe” in the sounds and vibrations produced by different sound healing instruments such as:

Gongs
Crystal singing bowls
Tibetan singing bowls
Drums
Chimes
Shakers
Shruti box
Didgeridoo
Harps
and much more

Through these sounds and vibrations, the mind enters into a deeply meditative and relaxed state, bringing about healing at all levels of our being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The beauty of sound baths is that each note you hear in a sound bath has a purpose. It’s more than just a string of beautiful sounds tied together - a powerful healing intention is behind every single note and sequence!

As an extremely effective form of meditation, sound baths are an excellent way to let go of any worries and sink into a deeply serene experience. Adding sound to the meditation experience can take your relaxation to a new level!

The Benefits of Sound Baths

How many of us sometimes feel anxious, stressed, and burned out? A lot!

We might even find ourselves holding on to negative energy that makes us feel heaviness in our hearts, but sound baths allow us to let go of all that and return to a natural state of calm and well-being.

Some of the main sound bath benefits that we’ve seen throughout our time teaching sound healing include:

Calming your body and mind
Reduced stress and anxiety
Increased focus and clarity
Decreased tension and fatigue
Better mood and reduced negative thoughts and emotions
Improved sleep
Reduced muscle and joint pain
Lower heart rate

Mineral & Detox Baths

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #7.)

Detox Mineral Baths

Toxins are poisonous substances that negatively affect our health. We expose ourselves to toxins on a daily basis from drugs, sources like pollution, chemically, processed foods and pesticides, and when we don’t release these toxins, it’s reflected in our health and the way we feel throughout the day.

While there are many ways to detox — such as detox drinks, a liver cleanse, heavy metal detox, brain detox and more — one of the easiest and most relaxing is through a detox bath. The best part? Detox baths are insanely easy to make at home.

You’ll get all the benefits you’d find in a high-end spa bath at a fraction of the price and in the comfort of your own home.

Using essential oils, which provide antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, along with common household items like baking soda, Epsom salts and honey, can help flush impurities from the body by allowing it to sweat out toxins.

How Healing Baths Work

Healing baths harness the skin's ability to absorb various substances. By immersing yourself in a bath, you expose a large surface area of your skin to a wide array of natural vitamins and minerals. Your skin, the body's largest organ, can absorb numerous beneficial compounds, making healing baths a potent tool for promoting health and healing.

Healing Bath Benefits for Various Health Conditions

Healing baths can be advantageous for an extensive range of health issues. In fact, it's hard to find health problems that wouldn't benefit from incorporating healing baths into the treatment plan. Some conditions that can be improved by healing baths include:

Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and poison ivy.

Muscle soreness, sprains, and strains. Insomnia and sleep disorders, stress and anxiety, high blood pressure, gout, constipation, bronchitis,

coughs, and sinus infections, fungal infections like athlete's foot and tinea versicolor, hemorrhoids, perineal healing after childbirth, yeast infections, chickenpox, and chemical detoxification.

By incorporating simple, natural ingredients into your bath, you can tap into the healing power of water and promote overall health and well-being.

A Pure Love Holistics protocol will provide you with the correct elements to use in your detox soak.

Massage Therapy

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #8.)

About massage

Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions. Many ancient peoples – including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians – were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it to treat a variety of ailments.

Massage therapy (including myotherapy) is the practice of kneading or manipulating a person’s muscles and other soft-tissue in order to improve their wellbeing or health. It is a form of manual therapy that includes holding, moving, and applying pressure to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.

The term ‘massage therapy’ is used to describe a wide variety of techniques that vary in the manner in which touch, pressure and the intensity of the treatment is applied.
Massage for treatment of some disorders

Research indicates that massage and myotherapy are effective in managing:

subacute/chronic low back pain delayed onset muscle soreness, anxiety, stress, soft tissue injuries, high blood pressure and insomnia.

They can also be effectively used to support people with:

a chronic disease, a life threatening illness, such as cancer and someone suffering from substance abuse and addiction.

Benefits of massage

One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of well-being.

Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.

Some of the physical benefits of massage and myotherapy include:

reduced muscle tension
improved circulation
stimulation of the lymphatic system, reduction of stress hormones.relaxation
increased joint mobility and flexibility, improved skin tone
improved recovery of soft tissue injuries, heightened mental alertness, reduced anxiety and depression.

Different types of massage

Typically, massage practitioners use either oil or talcum powder to allow their hands to slip over a person's skin. Sometimes, a sheet or thin piece of cloth might be used for the same effect.

Different types of massage may include:

Myotherapy –

involves the assessment and treatment of soft tissue pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. Myotherapy is applied to restore and maintain the health and function of the soft tissue structure (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the human body.

Remedial –

is the objective assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of the signs, symptoms and causes of biomechanical dysfunction or injury, using specific mobilisation techniques, in order to restore normal health and function.

Therapeutic –

also known as 'Western' or 'Swedish' massage. One of the most popular forms of massage in Australia, this technique is designed to promote relaxation and improve blood circulation.

Lymphatic drainage –

a gentle whole body treatment which relaxes the nervous system and aids the body's immune system.

Aromatherapy–

essential oils made from selected flowers and plants are added to the massage oil for their particular therapeutic properties. For example, the scent of sandalwood is thought to reduce nervous tension.

Reflexology –

based on the principle that certain parts of the body reflect the whole. Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, face and ears. These points respond to pressure, stimulating the body's own natural healing process.

Shiatsu –

an oriental massage technique that aims to improve energy flow by working certain points on the body. The underlying principles of shiatsu massage are similar to those of acupuncture.

Sports –

this is an application of massage, not a particular massage technique. The type of technique or treatment applied is dependent on the nature of the stage of training or competition, sports injury or condition and the assessment of the remedial massage therapist. Sport massage is a blend of techniques that aim to enhance performance and help overworked muscles to recover quickly.

How Massage Therapy Helps in Addiction Treatment

Massage therapy is much more than a patient just lying on a table with relaxing music playing and candles burning. This is a complementary treatment that uses various bodywork techniques to calm the mind and relieve tension. A massage therapist will knead and press a patient’s muscles and trigger points with circulating movements. Depending on the client’s needs, the treatment might include deep tissue, myofascial, Swedish, or cranial sacral massage.

When clients receive massage therapy, they are not only getting stimulation of the muscles but also of the skin, which happens to be the body’s largest sensory organ. This stimulation sends messages to the body’s central nervous system, which then releases dopamine, which is the body and mind’s natural feel-good chemical. In fact, studies show that this mind-body connection provided by massage therapy helps create self-awareness and may prevent relapse.

The Pure Love Holistic Protocol will provide information as to which style of massage therapy fits your needs and how often.

Crystal Healing

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #9.)

Crystal therapy or crystal healing is a form of vibrational medicine. Crystal therapy involves the application of crystals or gemstones to facilitate healing.

Gemstones house spiritual and healing properties that can be tapped into a variety of ways. Crystals can be carried or worn on the person, or placed in a location where their healing vibrations can be felt by whoever is nearby.

Healers also place stones on their clients' reclined bodies to balance the chakras and aura.

Each type of stone has its own unique talent. Gemstone colors, shapes, and textures all have special meanings.

Healing crystals are used for divination and meditation purposes.

You can intuitively choose which crystals to use by noticing which stones you are attracted to.

Keep your heart and hands open and allow the appropriate healing crystals to find their way to you.

One common belief is that crystals interact with the body’s energy fields, also known as vibrational energy. The idea is that crystals can redirect and re-channel energy flow with their unique energetic vibrations, helping to unblock areas of the body or energy field that have become “stuck.”

Crystals have potent healing powers, and when we touch them, healing is immediately activated.

As the crystal vibrations interact with the body’s natural energetic frequency, the body is said to be left feeling focused, relaxed, and clear.

Crystals absorb energy from pressure and movement and convert it into an electronic frequency. It’s this frequency, unique to each type of crystal, that users are relying on when working with crystals, and given that many pain and anxiety relief devices work on similar principles, we do believe they can help in these areas.”

Compared to these therapies, any frequency a crystal might emit would be infinitesimal.

Crystals can provide support when you’re feeling down or stressed too.

Just as they can provide support for mental health issues, crystals can help you boost your mood. They can be used as a tool to invoke feelings of:

grounding, connection, spiritual meaning, purpose
a sense of something greater than yourself.

With substance abuse and addiction, most crystals can provide energies that result in benefits for people recovering from addictions of all types.

While every individual experiences addiction and recovery differently, there are some benefits to crystals that anyone can use to their advantage.

For example...

Ruby, the sparkling red gem, is thought to be even more energizing than carnelian. The use of ruby can stimulate self-awareness and clarify how our decisions make impacts and ripple effects on others in our world. Ruby is also thought to facilitate detoxification on physical and emotional levels, making it a good crystal to start with at the outset of recovery.

Amber, the warm and mysterious stone, is not a true crystal. Instead, it’s fossilized tree resin. However, many people see positive effects when incorporating it into their healing practices in the same ways as a crystal. Amber helps draw in feelings of fulfillment, accomplishment, and satisfaction with oneself. All people in recovery struggle with feelings of low self-esteem and amber can help restore it. These are just a few examples.

Pure Love Holistics will provide each client a list of healing crystals that will uniquely resonate with their each individual vibration.

Yoga

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #10

If you’ve done your “downward dog” yoga pose today, you’re probably feeling more relaxed.

Regardless of your level of yoga expertise, if you’re practicing regularly, you can feel better from head to toe.

Yoga offers physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages. And, if you’re going through an illness, recovering from drug addiction, surgery or living with a chronic condition, yoga can become an integral part of your treatment and potentially hasten healing.

A yoga therapist can work with patients and put together individualized plans that work together with their medical and surgical therapies. That way, yoga can support the healing process and help the person experience symptoms with more centeredness and less distress.

While modern media and advertising may have us think that yoga is all about physical poses, the entirety of yoga includes a wide range of contemplative and self-disciplinary practices, such as meditation, chanting, mantra, prayer, breath work, ritual, and even selfless action.

The word “yoga” comes from the root word “yuj,” which means “to yoke” or “to bind.” The word itself has numerous meanings, from an astrological conjunction to matrimony, with the underlying theme being connection.

Yoga asana is the physical practice and postures of yoga.

The scientific research into yoga’s benefits is still somewhat preliminary, but much of the evidence so far supports what practitioners seem to have known for millennia: Yoga is incredibly beneficial to our overall well-being.

Research has stated that yoga and other mindfulness techniques should be used in conjunction with addiction treatment to help patients overcome substance use disorders and mental illness. A significant aspect of addiction recovery is to develop self-confidence and self-reliance. These traits are often coupled and compliment well with yoga.

The art of yoga encourages the individual to be present at the moment and to focus on their current strengths.

Practicing yoga has many potential benefits which include:

Increased energy
Emotional healing
Stress relief
Pain relief
Better sleep
Heightened self-confidence
Increased physical strength
Increased self-awareness
Healthier eating habits
Reduce fatigue
Emotional healing
Health and wellness improvement

Yoga for recovering addicts is consistently being practiced in substance abuse treatment programs. Yoga can help patients throughout recovery to help reduce withdrawal and cravings, prevent relapse, and allow and healthy outlet to help cope with triggers and everyday stress.

Pure Love Holistic Protocols will provide each client with a specified daily yoga routine to help assist with their ultimate health and wellness goals

Frequency - Energy Healing

Pure Love Holistics Protocol Item #11

Reiki Energy Healing:

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing technique that originates from Japan. It helps balance a person's energy, remove energy blockages, and releases negative energy.

Energy therapies are based on the concept that disturbances in energy fields in and around the body result in illness, and that improving the flow and balance of energy can improve health and wellbeing.

It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" or Qi flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. During the session, the Reiki practitioner places their hands either above the person or lightly touching them to stimulate their body’s natural healing abilities. Reiki can help with improving a person’s spiritual wellbeing, along with helping heal physical and mental health conditions.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei means a higher intelligence that guides the functioning of the universe or "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power," and Ki is the nonphysical energy that flows through anything living (plants, animals, humans) known as "life force energy.” Together, these two words stand for “spiritually guided life-force energy.” Reiki is however not tied to a religion or part of a religious practice; it is not a belief or type of suggestion.

Reiki aids in helping the body with its own natural healing processes. It is not supposed to be a treatment solution for any disease or chronic illness. But, it can help with a reduction in pain, faster recovery, and often improving a person’s mental, spiritual, and emotional state. Reiki will balance a person’s energy and help get rid of trapped emotions. It also helps with deep relaxation, and improving a person’s overall wellbeing. Reiki can have different benefits for everyone, and every person may have different experiences based on their needs.

According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. These types of situations can lead to illness.

It has the potential to help with any health condition, but some of the more common health conditions, Reiki has been used for include Substance Abuse - Addictions, AIDS, Anxiety, Arthritis, Asthma, Autism, Cancer, Crohn’s Disease, Chronic Pain, Chronic Stress, Depression, Diabetes, Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause, Migraines, Nausea, Neurodegenerative Disorders, and Sciatica, just to name a few.

It can help with managing symptoms of an illness or disease as a complementary treatment. It is not a primary treatment to cure any illness or disease. If energy in the body is low, weak, or blocked this can contribute to: emotional, mental, and physical health problems; sickness, stress, and so on. Reiki balances the flow of subtle energy, releasing trapped energy.

Although people may all have different Reiki experiences, here are some of the common benefits people receive from

Reiki:

Promotes relaxation, Improves body’s natural healing processes, may help reduce symptoms.

Speeds up recovery from surgery or long-term illness, reduces side effects from medicines or treatments, especially with those suffering from chemotherapy.

May prevent some health issues, assists the body in clearing out toxins, Improves emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, balances mind and emotions such as fear, frustration, and anger

Balances mental health:

Enhances learning, memory, and mental clarity, helps heal emotional wounds, Relief from emotional distress or sorrow when going through the grieving process, reduces stress, helps people to feel more at peace, or in harmony, allows greater capacity for empathy and love, Improves self-confidence, helps cope with challenging life scenarios, Improves sleep.

Reiki for Drug Addiction: Is It Effective?

In the addiction recovery community, reiki is known as a complementary health approach for drug addiction and other physical health conditions.

Reiki therapy geared toward addiction does not supplement standard, medically-based approaches for recovery and mental health disorders. However, when used alongside other treatment methods as a complementary treatment, Reiki therapy for drug addiction can help a person with aspects of recovery.

Some patients who use this treatment method report experiencing an energy shift and no longer want to use or abuse any illicit substances.

They may experience a complete lifestyle change thanks to the positive change in their energy levels.

For some patients, this practice can be especially beneficial in the early stages of their recovery journey.

Reiki Therapy Can Help Patients Manage Withdrawal Symptoms.

Some Reiki therapy practitioners believe that it can be useful for people suffering from withdrawal symptoms, which is the norm of the detoxification process.

Since this treatment method is calming, people may experience relief from the physical pain that usually accompanies withdrawal. In the early stages of recovery, most people dealing with addiction may exhibit trust issues and may be skeptical of treatment, particularly alternative medicine.

However, Reiki therapy can calm a person down during their angry state that may be caused by withdrawal. A person receiving this type of treatment may feel calm, safe, and at peace.

Once an individual’s body and mind reach a point of safety and calmness, they are likely to let go of the panic and trauma they felt during detoxification.

Tai Chi - Qi Gong

In the realm of ancient Chinese practices aimed at promoting physical and mental well-being, two disciplines often stand out: Qigong and Tai Chi.

These two arts have captivated practitioners worldwide with their graceful movements, deep-rooted philosophies and promises of holistic health benefits.

While they share certain similarities, they are distinct in their approaches, principles, and purposes.

Let’s unravel their unique characteristics and answer the question, how is Qigong different from Tai Chi?

Origins of Tai Chi and Qigong

Tai Chi and Qigong offer distinct paths to health and wellness with origins dating back centuries.

Qigong: the art of cultivating vital energy

Qigong, pronounced “chee-gong,” is a practice that traces its roots deep into Chinese history. It is one of the oldest recorded forms of exercise and healing in human history. The term “qigong” itself is a combination of two Chinese words: “Qi” (pronounced “chee” and also known as ‘Chi Energy‘) meaning vital energy or life force, and “Gong” meaning cultivation or work. Thus, qigong translates to “cultivating vital energy.”

Historically, qigong was shrouded in secrecy and often passed down through family lineages or from master to disciple. It was believed to be a path to immortality, enhanced physical prowess, and spiritual enlightenment.

Tai chi: the supreme ultimate fist

Tai chi, also known as tai chi chuan, has its roots in ancient China but emerged much later than qigong. It was developed during the Ming Dynasty by a martial artist named Zhang Sanfeng, who is often credited with its creation. The name “tai chi” refers to the concept of yin and yang, representing the fundamental balance and harmony of the universe.

Initially, Tai Chi was primarily a martial art, characterized by slow, flowing movements designed for self-defense. However, over time, it evolved into a holistic system that encompasses martial, therapeutic, and meditative aspects. The practice was refined by various masters, most notably the Yang, Chen, Wu, and Sun families, each contributing to its development and popularity.

Philosophies

Qigong: harmony and balance of Qi

At the core of qigong philosophy is the concept of Qi, the vital energy that flows through all living things. Practitioners believe that illness and discomfort arise when Qi becomes blocked or unbalanced. Therefore, the primary goal of qigong is to harmonize and enhance the flow of Qi throughout the body.

This is achieved through a combination of Deliberate Movements, Breath Control
Meditation, & Visualization Techniques.

Qigong emphasizes the integration of mind, body, and spirit. It encourages a deep connection with nature and the universe, viewing humans as a microcosm of the greater cosmos. By cultivating Qi and achieving harmony within oneself, practitioners seek to promote not only physical health but also mental clarity and spiritual awakening.
Tai chi: balance and martial roots

Tai chi, while sharing some philosophical foundations with qigong, has distinct principles rooted in martial arts. The practice incorporates the principles of yin and yang, focusing on the dynamic balance between opposites. Movements are slow, deliberate, and continuous, symbolizing the ebb and flow of energy in the universe.

One of the central tenets of tai chi is the idea of yielding and redirecting force rather than meeting it head-on. This concept is known as “peng jin” and is crucial in tai chi’s martial applications. Practitioners learn to be relaxed and sensitive to their opponent’s movements, using minimal force to neutralize attacks. The martial aspect sets tai chi apart from qigong, which lacks explicit self-defense techniques.

Physical Movements

They exhibit contrasting styles and techniques in their physical movements.
Qigong: gentle and fluid

Qigong exercises consist of a wide range of gentle and flowing movements. These movements are often repetitive and may be performed standing, sitting, or lying down. Qigong forms vary widely, but they typically involve slow, graceful motions that are easy to learn and suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.

A key feature of qigong is its focus on mindfulness and intention during each movement. Practitioners coordinate their breath with their movements, visualizing the flow of Qi within their bodies.

The goal is to Release Tension
Promote Relaxation
Encourage The Body’s Natural Healing Processes

Tai Chi: complex and sequential

Tai Chi forms are more complex and structured compared to qigong exercises. It consists of a series of choreographed movements, often referred to as “forms” or “sets.” These forms are a sequence of postures and transitions that flow seamlessly from one to the next. Some traditional tai chi forms can be quite lengthy, containing dozens of movements.

While tai chi forms are slow and deliberate, they require a higher degree of coordination and balance than many qigong exercises. The emphasis on precise alignment and weight distribution is essential for tai chi’s martial applications and distinguishes it from the simpler, repetitive movements of qigong.

Health Benefits

Each of these ancient arts have different, yet similar, health benefits.

Qigong: holistic wellness

Qigong is renowned for its holistic approach to health and well-being. Regular practice is believed to offer a wide range of benefits, including: Stress reduction. Qigong’s focus on relaxation and mindfulness helps reduce stress and anxiety. Improved flexibility. The gentle
movements of qigong promote flexibility and joint mobility. Enhanced energy levels. Practitioners report increased vitality and energy.
Better balance. Qigong can improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, particularly in older adults. Pain relief. Some individuals find relief from chronic pain conditions through qigong practice.
Emotional balance. Qigong can promote emotional stability and inner peace.

Tai chi: balance and strength

Tai chi blends physical exercise with mental and emotional well-being:

Balance and coordination. Tai chi enhances balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls, particularly in the elderly. Strength and endurance. The slow, controlled movements of tai chi build muscular strength & endurance. Cardiovascular health. Regular practice can improve cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of heart disease. Stress reduction. Tai chi’s meditative aspects promote relaxation and stress reduction. Mental clarity. Practitioners often report improved concentration and mental clarity.

Tai Chi and Qigong: Choosing the path to wellness

Tai chi and qigong – how are they different? Qigong and tai chi both offer valuable practices with their own unique characteristics and benefits. The choice between these ancient Chinese arts ultimately depends on individual preferences, goals, and physical abilities. Qigong, with its gentle movements, emphasis on Qi cultivation, and accessibility, is an excellent choice for those looking to reduce stress, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being. It provides a pathway to inner peace and harmony, making it particularly appealing to individuals seeking relaxation and mindfulness.

Tai chi, with its complex forms, martial applications, and mindful movement, is better suited for those who are willing to invest time and effort into a more intricate practice. It offers a combination of physical fitness, mental clarity, and self-defense skills, making it an attractive option for those seeking a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Ultimately, whether one chooses the path of qigong or tai chi, both arts offer a journey of self-discovery, balance, and vitality. They represent the enduring wisdom of ancient Chinese culture, inviting individuals to explore the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit on the quest for a healthier and more harmonious life.

Breathwork

What is breathwork?

Breathwork refers to breathing techniques that intentionally channel and focus on the breath.

For thousands of years, Eastern medicine practices, including Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, have employed breathing techniques to calm the body and the mind.

Our minds tend to be very active, often thinking about the past and worrying about the future instead of residing in the present moment. This can lead to the activation of stress hormones for extended periods of time, which can have adverse effects on the body. Chronic stress increases the risk of a number of diseases and disease processes in the body.

It’s no secret that mental and emotional stress can manifest in physical ways, playing a role in issues like: Aches and pains,
Digestive problems, Headaches, High blood pressure, Insomnia. Muscle tension, Sexual dysfunction,
A weakened immune system.

But stress management techniques — including breathwork — are one way to help you step back from the chaos and keep your mind and body healthy.

Breathwork helps calm you down and move your body and mind out of fight-or-flight mode.

To understand how, we need to know about your autonomic nervous system, which consists of two parts: Your sympathetic nervous system is responsible for your body’s “fight-or-flight” response. This system’s activity increases when you’re stressed or in danger. Your parasympathetic nervous system is the “rest-and-digest” part of your brain, responsible for relaxing your body after periods of stress or danger.

Fight-or-flight mode is helpful when you’re being chased by a bear or fleeing a burning building. But these days, many of us are in a mental fight-or-flight mode even when our bodies aren’t under physical duress — think major work deadlines, upsetting news headlines, stress from drug addiction, disease, financial woes, arguments with your spouse, etc., etc.

We need our sympathetic nervous system to be aware of danger in our environment, but in today’s society, we’re too often in fight-or-flight mode when we’re not actually in danger.

We simply need to be able to tap into our parasympathetic nervous system to be able to calm sensations of stress.

Breathwork, then, is a way to activate your body’s parasympathetic nervous system and help you de-escalate and de-stress. That can also lead to all kinds of positive feelings.

Breathwork helps us with focus and energy, which can lead to a better quality of life where there’s space for health, wellness, joy and fun.

If we’re constantly in a state of stress and tension, it’s very hard to find those important qualities in life.

Breathwork is one of the most accessible wellness practices out there. Anyone can do it, regardless of age or other medical conditions, so long as you find the breathing techniques that work best for you.

Ancient & Indigenous WISDOM

Ancient Wisdom

Throughout history ancient cultures have left behind a treasure trove of wisdom that continues to resonate with people across the globe. From the philosophical teachings of ancient Atlantis & Lumeria to the great minds of Greek scholars and spiritual wisdom itellects from ancient Mesopotamia and India, to name a few. The Ancient civilizations held deep truths that are still applicable in the modern world. Ancient civilizations such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Chinese, possessed an abundance of knowledge and wisdom that has stood the test of time. The Egyptian culture for example, emphasized the importance of balance and harmony, which expressed key elements of maintaining equilibrium with oneself that would be crucial for a thriving society. In Greek philosophy Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, once said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This powerful quote summarily expresses the notion that the food we consume can either be a form of healing or a source of illness. It suggests that our dietary choices are directly linked to our overall health and well-being. With these insightful facts from ancient wisdom, we can implement the incredible knowledge we've gathered which will have a profound effect on our well-being. We can start by innerstanding the importance and impact that nutrition has on our physical and mental health, highlighting one of the fundamental principles of holistic medicine. It has been a known fact throughout the centuries that minerals & nutrients from food are key!

Indigenous Wisdom

Also referred to as Traditional Knowledge or Traditional Ecological Knowledge – is a body of observations, oral and written knowledge, innovations, practices, and beliefs that promote sustainability and the responsible stewardship of cultural and natural resources through relationships between humans and their landscapes. Indigenous Knowledge cannot be separated from the people inextricably connected to that knowledge. It applies to phenomena across biological, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual systems. Indigenous Peoples have developed their knowledge systems over millennia, and continue to do so based on evidence acquired through direct contact with the environment, long-term experiences, extensive observations, lessons, and skills. While there is great diversity among Indigenous Peoples, there are also some commonalities in Indigenous worldviews and ways of being. Indigenous worldviews see the whole person (physical, emotional, mental spiritual, and intellectual) as interconnected to land and in relationship to others (family, communities, nations). This is how the indigenous cultures view the term Holistic.

Shamanism

At the heart of shamanic healing lies the figure of the shaman—an intermediary between the physical and spiritual realms, entrusted with the sacred task of healing, guiding, and restoring balance to individuals and communities. Drawing upon ancient rituals, plant medicines, energy work, and intuitive insights, shamans embark on profound journeys to address the root causes of illness, disconnection, and suffering, viewing health as a harmonious state of alignment between body, mind, and spirit. Through ceremonies, soul retrievals, energy clearings, and other transformative practices, shamans facilitate healing on multiple levels, invoking the wisdom of the natural world and the unseen forces that govern our existence.

At its core, shamanic healing is about restoring balance and harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. Shamans, or spiritual healers, believe that many ailments - whether physical, emotional, or spiritual - are caused by imbalances within our energy fields or disconnections from our true selves and the natural world around us.

Through rituals, ceremonies, and journeys into altered states of consciousness, shamans work to connect with spiritual guides, ancestors, and the forces of nature "like plant medicines" to bring about spiritual healing and transformation. They may use tools such as drumming, chanting, herbs, crystals, or sacred rituals to cleanse, purify, and restore energy flow within the individual.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. It originated over 5000 years ago, and is even more relevant today than ever before.

Unlike Western medicine, Ayurveda is a holistic science which visualizes wellness as a whole: perfect health is defined as a state of balance between mind, body, spirit, and social well-being.

Rather than treating only the symptoms, Ayurveda focuses on finding and treating the root cause of disease.

Any type of disease (whether that is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual) is caused by an imbalance. Thousands of years of Ayurvedic knowledge and wisdom have been documented in ancient scriptures, the most revered one being the Charaka Samhita.

Being a holistic science, Ayurveda can help you balance and improve several aspects of your life, including (but not limited to): Healing Dis-ease, Illness, Digestion, Sleep, Food, Nutrition, Skin Care, Auto-Immune Conditions, Mental & Sexual Health.

At its root, the Ayurvedic philosophy helps you to:

Naturally synchronize with your truest self
Nurture and nourish your mind, body and spirit equally
Improve your sense of well-being
Enhance health at a cellular level
Harmonize your energy with your environment

Ultimately, Ayurveda focuses on promoting a healthy and satisfying life experience that is free of negative emotions and aspects by supporting a natural balance.

The Strategy...Your Constitution And Its Inner Balance

Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance one’s life by 1.) right thinking, 2.) diet, 3.) lifestyle and the use of spices and herbs.

Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy—an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics—which comprises their own constitution. This constitution is determined at conception by a number of factors and remains the same throughout one’s life.

Many factors, both internal and external, act upon us to disturb this balance and are reflected as a change in one’s constitution from the balanced state. Examples of these emotional and physical stresses include one’s emotional state, diet and food choices, seasons and weather, physical trauma, work and family relationships.

Once these factors are understood, one can take appropriate actions to nullify or minimize their effects or eliminate the causes of imbalance and re-establish one’s original constitution. Balance is the natural order; imbalance is disorder. Health is order; disease is disorder. Within the body there is a constant interaction between order and disorder. When one understands the nature and structure of disorder, one can re-establish order.

Ancient Chinese Medicine And Philosophy

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is thousands of years old and has changed little over the centuries for it's miraculous benefits. Its basic concept is that the vital life force energy called Qi, surges through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause disease and illness. This imbalance is most commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Qi. These are called yin and yang "balance". Ancient Chinese believed that humans are microcosms of the larger surrounding universe, and are interconnected with nature and subject to its forces. Balance between health and disease is a key concept. TCM treatment seeks to restore this balance through treatment specific to the individual. It is believed that to regain balance, you must achieve the balance between the internal body organs and the external elements of earth. Treatment to regain balance may involve:

Acupuncture
Moxibustion (the use of herbal remedies)
Cupping (the use of warmed glass jars to create suction on certain points of the body)
Massage
Herbal remedies
Movement and concentration exercises (such as Tai Chi & Qi-Gong)
