many of you will know that we at vital balance like to have a pretty solid reason to do what we do when it comes to our health. when we are suggested something in regards to our health; we for one like to have a solid intuitive sense that it is in fact where our bodies are leading us & two, it is actually safe and all info is on the table...side effects and all.

please, we cannot caution you enough to be well informed of all that you are taking and its side effects. we as individuals are the only people that have our health as uttermost priority. and ultimately we are the only ones that have full control of our health...not neccessarily our therapists or dr's. take responsibility for your own well being! accept & bless the guidance and direction of the professionals in this journey for what it is.

we wish you all the best!

Wabi-Sabi

2011-02-17T12:56:00.003-06:00

a recent magazine article put a definition on my decorating style......doesn't categorization justify our motives...somehow? sometimes?
anyway, basically this style finds beauty and peace in ordinary things. i have always been happy to camp at our local park, to pedal down a small town trail, to sport a bright red vintage suitcase i picked up for a dollar, to be absolutely ecstatic about a yellow vintage lamp i picked up for a bargain, to genuinely appreciate a small little plant given, to decorate based on feeling of home and not to be tempted to simply sway with trends. indeed sometimes they do coincide, but if they do, make sure your heart brought you there.
as stated by robyn griggs lawrence:
12 ways to wabi-sabi
1. cultivate slowness
2. cultivate vision
3. cultivate craft
4. cultivate cleanliness
5. cultivate solitude
6. cultivate space
7. cultivate silence
8. cultivate sabi (beauty that comes with age)
9. cultivate soul
10. cultivate imperfection (MY FAVORITE....entirely changes perspective:)
11. cultivate hospitality
12. cultivate simplicity

i love love love this concept. i hope it can be of inspiration to you as well:)

New Years Inspiration

2011-01-04T14:49:00.005-06:00

i've had a few people ask me about my nyr. well to be completely honest i haven't just sat down and listed them. but i will admit to something, i truly try to get inspired to be the best i can be everyday. i have challenges at times, but when one tries on a consistant basis to "just be" and "be inspiring and be inspired" new years resolutions are a continuation....
so keep it real every day; it is easier to manage, not just reserved for the new year:)

thank you to all of our clientele for your continued support. we look forward to serving you in the new year!!

winner of the tuning forks to be announced next post:) stay "tuned..."

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."

Reflexology in Swift Current, SK

2010-09-17T09:49:00.003-06:00

*reflexology.net

Reflexology is one of the most UNDER estimated tools in maintaining good health. By stimulating the reflex points in the feet (that are connected to every area of the body) the therapist can work with congestion & poor circulation; issues that lead to health concerns over an extended period of time. As a rule; issues show up in the feet before the symptom appears in the body. Thus by having regular reflexology, optimum health is maintained.

T-Zone Vibrational Trainers in Swift Current, SK

2010-09-10T13:09:00.004-06:00

if you haven't heard about vibrational trainers yet, let us be the first to tell you. first and foremost they combine an equivalent of a 1 hour workout at the gym with 10 MINUTES on this machine. in our world of busy, hectic schedules this means more time to do the things we enjoy while still maintaining our health. this machine improves circulation, enhances balance & coordination, burns fat, tones & firms, improves flexibilty, decreases cellulite, low impact, boosts the lymphatic system and MUCH, much more. better yet this machine is doctor approved.

disrciminating eggs

2010-08-27T11:06:00.003-06:00

my sister'n'law & i had the discussion awhile back about the difference between white and brown eggs. further research has proven the color of the egg takes after the mother's coloring. and in fact has NOTHING to do with flavour, nutritional value of the egg. i suppose it is important to note that rhode island hens are bigger thus eat more, produce larger brown eggs and this translates into more cost at the supermarket. who would have thought? i so love brown eggs, brown paper towel, brown note books.....does it come from the trend of recycled or growing up on a farm where the chickens layed brown eggs?

thoughts

2010-07-09T19:15:00.003-06:00

many clients ask us; what can we do better? why am i not well? can you fix me in my hour session?
health is not something that is just met in an instance. often times ill health occurs over many years. and thus healing is not over night either. the key in healing is digging deeper, who are we? what is creating my issues? how are my stress levels? am i feeding myself healthy, nourishing food? do i MOVE?? how many meds am i plugging into my system without learning more about them, including side effects?
vital balance's defintion of healthy living is this:
eat well. live well. be well. limit our stress. exercise regularily (doing something you enjoy, so there is more motivation to continue). think positively. be kind. expand our auras and feel others gentley touch ours. live in balance. enjoy nature and its helpful lessons. drink water. be open to new ideas/concepts. embrace life. enjoy the moments in life that cultivate richness of soul.

2010-06-01T11:44:00.001-06:00

breathe. be aware of the sensory information your body is giving you. hear the quietness. see the small details. touch and be touched. be. just be. this my friend is the safest place to be.

if we haven't told you "lemon" and breathe...we probably haven't worked on you:)

2010-04-26T10:18:00.002-06:00

we have suggested lemon in our practise for years now. one for its magnificant color, (earth booster) and also for its therapeutic properties which i will explain:
-the romans use it for all types of poison
-effective in curing many digestive issues when mixed with hot water: billiousness, nausea, heartburn, constipation, worm infestations & even hiccups!
-when taken in the morning, acts as a tonic to the liver & stimulates it to produce bile ready for the days digestive demands.
-helps to dissolve gall stones
-high in vit c therefore, prevents and treats many infections
-speeds up wound healing
-brings down high fever
-relieves asthma symptoms, tonsilitis & sore throats
-diuretic (helpful in bladder infections)
-coffee and lemon juice can help treat EVEN malaria!!
-when applied to a nostril with a cotton ball can stop even a nose bleed

so in other words, lemon is very important to utilize.
contact your physician if you have further questions.

vital balance is pleased to announce the Nomads Hemp Wear. arrival is expected early next week. while on vacation in kimberly, jennifer came across this fantastic line of quality, eco friendly clothing that didn't have any scams about "sea weed" in their products. after many washes, wear and tear these garments really do hold there shape and color. in a growing industry of "yogi" gear, this is sometimes hard to maintain. after many years of trial with different fabrics and "logos", this one we can't get away from. keep watch for more details.

2010-03-18T14:52:00.003-06:00

i'm not sure about you, but i have been on the looooooong drawn out highway of deodorants. not that i have an overwhelming body odor i can't beat. it is simple, i choose not to use conventional anti-perspirants that cause oh such a long list of ailments......lymphatic blockage, breast cancer, memory loss, tumours.....etc. and there is enough research out there to MAKE me very diligent of what i apply under my arm! low and behold after years of experimentation i have found something that actually works. the perfect blend. so many times i would buy a wonderful new natural deodorant to be dissapointed that after 2 hrs i'm doing sniff tests and realizing indeed, we need to reapply. not this stuff, all day does it, without the side effects.
kudos to dr. mist

Regarding the H1N1 scam (in my opinion, anyway):

http://www.naturalnews.com/H1N1.html

RE: GERMS, germs.....

hand washing is important, hand sanitizers (alcohol based) have there concerns as well. they upset the "good" flora environment on our hands and can be toxic to children, as they always have their hands in their mouths. so go EASY on the squirts.

all i can say is DON'T believe EVERYTHING our media dishes us. follow your intuition not your tv. special thanks to Dr. Amell for the link.

inspiration

2009-10-23T08:48:00.004-06:00

i think in a world that is very intense, it takes great skill and guidance to retain what we need to retain and channel what needs to be released. so one thing i have learnt as a therapist, mother, wife....a person on life's journey.....is simply this:

allow yourself to be inspired and be inspiring.

these things keep us passionate and true to our inner self.

vital balance bodyworks uses tuning forks in our office. and now we have them available to buy as well. inquire within. we have found the tuning forks as well as the pythagorean tuning chimes to be very useful in opening up new healing pathways, especially for condition that have been chronic. ie, arthritis, depression, hormonal...etc.

"think of the ohm tone, and all of its octaves, as a sound healing tool that works like a 'switch' to reset your vibrational motherboard." -marjorie de muynck

This is something we should all read at least once a week Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me... It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone... 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 12. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks. 16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. 20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer. 21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 22. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 24. The most important sex organ is the brain. 25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words “In five years, will this matter?' 27. Always choose life. 28. Forgive everyone everything. 29. What other people think of you is none of your business. 30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time. 31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 33. Believe in miracles. 34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young. 37. Your children get only one childhood. 38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back. 41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 42. The best is yet to come. 43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 44. Yield. 45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

money with legs:(

2009-03-25T16:29:00.007-06:00

yikes, we have always based our office on trust, love and a safe place. when someone invades your space and steals money, it rattles your confidence in humanity and the strong cords of trust that bind community. that being said...onward....

to you thief(s),
we hope through this experience you will come full circle to a deeper inderstanding of yourself and gain a deeper sense of self respect, that you in fact could have easily made the money yourself instead of stealing from your kin folk. and heh, i guess if you don't really care....i suppose that karma will come back at you too, and eventually the universe takes care of these things.

thank you to the many people we do business with that maintain such a wonderful relationship, kudos to you!!!

Confucius said: "The superior man thinks of virtue; the inferior man thinks of possessions." "The superior man is dignified but not proud; the inferior man is proud but not dignified." "A resolute scholar and a man of humanity will never seek to live at the expense of humanity." "The superior man seeks room for improvement or occasion to blame in himself; the inferior man seeks it in others."

For those of you who want to be informed: IMMUNIZATION DANGERS

2008-05-01T08:23:00.002-06:00

here are a few links that are helpful in educating oneself about immunization.

http://www.vaclib.org/

http://www.tetrahedron.org/

www.wellbeingjournal.com/vaccinate.htm

The routine use of vaccines has created innumerable problems. The best defense against infection and disease is support of the body's natural immune system. A child's nervous and immune systems are not fully matured until after the age of 2. Breastfeeding supplies babies with antibodies that have been transferred through the mother's milk to compensate for this. Vaccinating babies can inhibit their immune systems from naturally developing the antibodies necessary to fight infection. Boost the immune system further by maintaining good nutrition on a daily basis. A happy, nurturing, stress-free home will also allow the body to use its energy reserves for fighting infection.

Pyromorphite

2008-04-24T12:54:00.002-06:00

Pyromorphite is a mineral that enhances the energies of other minerals. Pyromorphite is said to attract money and other objects of wealth, and can help one see the steps to take to achieve goals, giving it the nickname "the Victory Stone". It also activates and stimulates one's personal energy. Pyromorphite can be used to get rid of creative blocks. It is also used to renew connections with people one has lost touch with. Pyromorphite should not be used directly to make elixirs. Pyromorphite is excellent for healing because of its enhancement of other stones used in crystal healing. Physically, pyromorphite is used for chills, gum disease, removing organisms from the blood, and assimilating B vitamins.

i chose burnt orange and lime green for our newest arrivals room. i then found a crystal yesterday that i realized i knew very little about: pyromorphite. i worked seemingly backwards, was drawn to the crystal itself...and then once seen its properties realized this would be a suitable crystal for our wee one's space:) i'll post the bi-color crystal when time permits.
