Imbalances in the body are manifested through physical symptoms (externally: rashes, eczema, boils, ulcers and internally: asthma, bowel disorders, menstrual problems etc) and psychological symptoms (such as unexplained anger, irritability, memory problems, insomnia etc). These symptoms are perceived as set, called "symptom picture". Homeopathy remedy is in the form of substances that will "help the body help itself". About homeopathy: 1. Like Cures Like (Law of Similars): Homeopathy is based on the principle that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. This principle is known as "similia similibus curentur." 2. Minimum Dose: Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). The more diluted the substance, the more potent it is believed to be. The goal is to use the minimum dose necessary to stimulate the body's vital force to restore balance. 3. Individualized Treatment: Homeopathic treatment is highly individualized. Practitioners consider not only the specific symptoms of the disease but also the overall physical, mental, and emotional state of the patient. 4. Holistic Approach: Homeopathy views health as a state of balance and harmony within the body. It aims to treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms of a disease. Practitioners believe that by restoring balance to the vital force, the body can overcome illness.

| Embrace Growth Through Failure: A Path to Your True Self - With Canadian Artist Jodi Miller | 24 nov. 2023 | 01:09:36 | |
The fear of failure often holds us back from life's greatest joys. The avoidance, the hesitation to start, can be paralyzing. However, it's crucial to recognize that your brain learns and evolves through failure—each setback is an opportunity for adjustment, learning, and growth, paving the way for the next chapter of your life. Much like the changing seasons, growth can be uncomfortable and at times overwhelming, but it is an indispensable part of becoming the person you are meant to be. The pain of these growing seasons shapes and molds you, creating new pathways and preparing you for the challenges ahead. It's a reminder that asking for what you want in life and finding a way to make it work is a journey worth taking. In the grand scheme, you'll never regret striving for what your heart desires. As Wayne Gretzky wisely said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Embrace the process, the failures, and the uncertainties, for they are the building block toward a more fulfilled and authentic you. We snagged this from our new book Order our new book HERE!

The days where you feel like the sun is shining out your ass (you know what I'm talking about). Seize the reins, venture forth, ask for what you desire—know that it may return to you in unexpected, yet beautifully surprising ways.

| Defining Moments - With Artist, Mother and Muralist Kristen Zimmerman | 04 nov. 2023 | 01:23:35 | |
Catch this chat with Artist, Muralist and Mother Kristen Zimmerman “The belief that taking time off will cause your entire life to collapse is not only unhealthy, but also arrogant (the world will go on if you stop working, you see). If you don’t take time off, your body will eventually put its foot down and make you sick. Bodies do it all the time. Stress is a leading cause of cancer, heart attacks, liver failure, stupid accidents, grouchiness, and suddenly not being able to breathe.”– Jen Sincero. Beyond the evident health benefits, allocating time for pursuits that ignite your passion should stand as a priority. After all, what's the purpose of journeying through life without these sparks of inspiration? Imagine reaching the ripe age of eighty-five, only to realize you 'never quite found the time' to relish in your own joys. What occupied your hours that trumped this? This isn't an indulgence exclusive to those wealthier, smarter, or less encumbered than you. It's a privilege that awaits those who take the initiative to carve it out—a choice to craft a life brimming with enjoyment. In my belief, you should revel in what you do and feel a genuine sense of contentment in your pursuits, for they will occupy the majority of your lifetime in a series of defining moments. Let's talk about you! Close your eyes and think about three things you are grateful for in your life at this very moment.

Get our free mural bundle HERE "Everything comes with a little bit of suck." – Brandi A little bit of suck…No matter what path I decide to take in my career, every profession comes along with a bit (or a lot) of suck. You really have to decide what job you don’t mind doing the unenjoyable parts of. Musicians need to perform at night when the average person likes to make dinner and wind down from their day. But they are passionate about creating through sound and that is their compromise. But there are parts of their industry, like production or song writing, that they could do alternatively if they didn’t like the evening performances. This isn’t cut-and-dried for any industry, not so black-and-white—you can find a little wiggle room. It is about learning to embrace the suck as long as you get to do what you love. Let's talk about you! What is your current employment situation? Would you like to be there? If not, how is it applicable to what you would like out of life? What are some things holding you back? Where would you like to be in a year? Where do you see yourself in five years?

| Tap into your creative POWER! - Kehan Fu Gallery and Non-profit Director | 20 oct. 2023 | 01:07:11 | |
“When you tap into the idea that your ability to create is infinite, your whole life will change” – Brandi Seriously! When you finally see that if you can imagine something and you find a way to make it happen, your life becomes a matter of choice. What projects you choose to do, where you choose to do them, and who you choose to do them with. So really it is a question of impact and what kind of person do you want to be… Our chat this week with creative Kehan Fu has us inspired. When you have the ability to create whatever it is you set your mind to, how can you use your gift to better your community, or even the world? How do you get there, what kinds of people do you need to connect with, and how do you connect to your community, how do you connect to your "something more". Make some notes about all these points. For example, I am going to ask for that opportunity I have been thinking about for a while, I am going to do my research, be brave, and my first move would be to…__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you loved this segment we snagged it from our new book which you can order on amazon and the free audio book code comes inside!
