Menopause is a time of transition. It is a woman’s rite of passage; transforming into her age of wisdom and entering the powerful space of mature femininity. Throughout ancient cultures, she now becomes the ‘wise one’. By transforming her monthly cycle, she becomes more able to access the deep wisdom held strong inside her body.

Have you ever noticed that when you have to do something stressful, your mouth suddenly becomes dry? Regardless whether it is a presentation that you have been dreading or a confrontation with someone, suddenly your tongue feels like its wearing socks. The toll that stress and anxiety take on our bodies is often multiplied by one simple missing link – extra water!

Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after 15 minutes in nature? ...but if you look at a picture of nature, you don’t get the same relaxing results. That is because plants, flowers, and trees release positive energy atoms into the air. Your body absorbs these and you feel relaxed. These healing atoms can be captured in liquid and are called essences, energy nutrients, or vibra-nutrients. Vibra-nutrients naturally help to reduce stress and strengthen the emotional body.

My husband and I owned and operated the #1 Tanning Salon in Charlotte for over 12 years. During that time, we developed a certification program for training Tanning Bed operators that was endorsed by the State. In searching out a good tanning bed, it is important to do 5 things:

1-Begin low on your time, and build up
2-Tan every other day at most
3-Cover skin that has never been exposed for 1/2 the time
4-Find a bed with 2% UVB rays
5-Ask how often they change their tanning bulbs

Did you know that the original Tanning Beds were developed in Germany by Dr. Frederick Wolfe for treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis? The side affects were tanning of the skin, and helping with depression caused by lack of sunlight (SAD: Seasonal Affected Disorder). The Vitamin D produced by the skin from Tanning Beds also helps in the prevention of Cancer, and possibly with blood disorders such as Lupus.
