[AlternativeAnswers] Bringing Angels into Your Life

 

Good Morning!

Bringing Angels Into Your Life

Angels come in all forms! From winged guardian, mysterious stranger, helpful neighbor or benevolent animal to angelic guides and protectors. Angels come to us through dreams, in person, on a breeze or even through a strain of music. Angels find a way to appear, where they are needed most. Do you recognize them? As I was writing this, I started to truly realize just how often, an angel had interceded on my behalf, showed up during struggles in my life or even surrounding me in the form of statues, wall hangings and candles in my home! All it takes to notice their support is to become more aware of their presence. 

Learning to work with Angels gives you the ability to connect with an inexhaustible source of light and energy, which can be used to induce a healing effect. Anyone can gain access to this energy by means of an attunement process. (The process of becoming more aware and conscious). 

Consider these suggestions for bringing angels into your life: 


Raise your awareness

1. Life is in the present moment. How often are you physically doing something in the moment, yet your mind is already somewhere else.... three steps ahead of you... thinking about what you will say in your next meeting, what you will do after work or even what's for dinner? ...completely ignoring the present moment you are missing! Most of us don't undertake our thoughts in awareness. Rather, our thoughts control us. As biomedical scientist, Kabat-Zinn puts it, learning to "rest in stillness, that is - to stop doing and focus on just being in the moment." We need to live more in the moment. Living in the moment, also called mindfulness, is a state of active, open, intentional attention on the present. 


Raise awareness by raising your vibration

2. Mindfulness reduces stress, boosts immune functioning, reduces chronic pain, lowers blood pressure, and helps patients cope with dis-ease. By alleviating stress, spending a few minutes a day actively focusing on living in the moment reduces that risk of dis-ease. Vibrational medicine, which validates that everything in the Universe is in a state of vibration and the frequency at which an object or person most naturally vibrates is called resonance. Energy medicine is based on the idea that all illness or dis-ease is characterized by blockage in the channels on some level, either in the nadis, meridians, arteries, veins, or nerves. When there is a blockage, the organ in question stops vibrating at a healthy frequency and therefore, it results in some kind of illness. 


Engage the three D's

3. Often, we are distracted by the clutter around us. Either it is a home or office cluttered with debris, a body that you treat less like a temple and more like a garbage dump or your mind is bombarded with toxic beliefs or toxic people that simply do nothing but slowly poison you throughout your life! 

Declutter your life. From your surroundings to your thoughts. A mind with clarity, is a mind free to function at its optimum level. 

Detox the toxins. Raising the consciousness in order for you to be more in tune with your higher spiritual self, starts from the temple within. Clear the channels and create a healthier you. Remove the blockage in order for you to move through your life more freely. 

Discard old beliefs. A belief system that serves us well, is a belief in unlimited abundance, a deserving, humble nature with room to understand that, which serves the common good. Sometimes, it is necessary to reinvent our belief system and redefine our values so that we can see clearer and be able to achieve the fulfilling life that we desire. 


Living in the moment helps you notice the presence of angels

4. By clearing out the road blocks in and around you, you are more able to be present and at your optimum for seeing an angel when they make themselves known. Your ability to be more receptive will be recognized. Your insight and awareness of your surroundings will be more open and inviting and your mind and its resources will be mentally available to honor and accept your angels with grace and humility.

[AlternativeAnswers] Holiday Eating Tips for Diabetics

 

Good Morning!


Holiday Eating Tips for Diabetics

Managing your diabetes can be more challenging during the holidays, with tempting sweets that bombard the senses at parties and family meals.

Eating right and monitoring your symptoms are key, so take a deep breath and prepare yourself now for the challenges of healthy holiday eating. 

What to Eat 

You can't always control what you eat as a guest but you can make sure that your diet at other meals is top-notch.

Fiber 

Eat lots of insoluble fiber (fiber that doesn't dissolve in water) to stay regular. Consumption of fiber-rich foods—barley, carrots, oats, legumes, beans, onions, peas, and lentils—have been associated with improved blood glucose control, and are better for long-term health than soluble-fiber supplements such as guar, pectin, and locust bean gum.

Other good fiber-containing foods are wheat bran, whole-grain breads and cereals, and fruits like apples, blueberries, boysenberries, raspberries, and cranberries. All help control insulin levels, improve liver function, and maintain blood glucose levels. Eating 1 cup of any of these berries a day helps control diabetes.

Blood Sugar Regulators

There is a whole range of plants with hypoglycemic action. Among them are artichoke, barley, cabbage, carrot, lettuce, nettles, oats, peas, spinach, sweet potato, and turnips.

Note that red and orange foods like watermelon, carrots, cantaloupe are in the mid-high glycemic index range, so eat them with protein or avoid them altogether. 

Avoid white foods such as potatoes, white rice, white sugar, sweets, and sweet-processed cereal because these foods are high on the glycemic scale.

Apples can regulate blood sugar levels because they contain naturally occurring chemical compounds known as flavonoids, some of which have been proven to have antioxidant activity that inhibits the activity of free radicals in the body, or scavenges the free radicals. 

Drinks

Water is essential in any healing process. Fresh, filtered water is the best. Drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses per day. Try not to drink liquids that contain caffeine or alcohol because coffee dehydrates you, and alcohol is rich in sugars.

Herbs

Incorporate these wonderful herbs to enhance the flavor of your foods while helping regulate your blood sugar levels: bilberry, basil, chives, cinnamon, dill, fenugreek, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary, stevia, thyme, and ginseng (look for panax, Korean or American).

How to Eat 

The best health plan is one that helps you feel your best, so actively experiment with your diet, frequency, and size of meals, as well as with all aspects of lifestyle to lower the amount of insulin you need to take. This means taking a lot of responsibility for your own health—a goal you can achieve.

Extend your nutrients throughout the day with three main meals and three snacks.

Eat small portions or servings as opposed to one or two big meals. Smaller portions not only reduce blood glucose and insulin concentrations, but also guard against the development of hyperglycemia. 

Although it takes a little more work to eat right at this time of year, your good health is well worth the effort. Your health limitations can actually be a holiday blessing for your family because they can be the catalyst that gets your family on board with their own health, and you can learn together how to cook delicious and healthy holiday foods.
