What is the Vitamix? Is a super power blender that can blend anything, literally.   I am writing this to inform people that there is no point in buying a juicer. My new room mate has one, and this blender can do the job just fine.

All you do is put 2 celery sticks, 2 collard greens, some water, blend for 30 seconds then strain it through a cheese-cloth. After that add some coconut water. It's important to add the coconut water because it is SWEET, otherwise it will be bitter and nasty and you will hate to be healthy.

This costs pennies a day and it's a great way to get greens into your diet. There is nothing the vita mix can't blend, you can throw a tree into this thing, and you will have blended tree.  All you do is rinse it out and you are set to go.

Some say if you blend something you heat it up and it no longer becomes raw. OK, no, my drinks are not hot, or heated after 30 seconds, and also the layman is far more concerned with convenience than anything else.
Nobody wants a "project" when making a simple drink, it's a drink dam it and it isn't supposed to take all morning.

It is pricey ($550), but go on craigs-list and look there first, make sure though when you go and buy one that it works, bring a few tree items, some rocks from space, indestructible metals, bones, and kindly ask the person if you can test the sucker out (wink). But be polite!! Ask them if they are open to allowing you to do this!! :)

But the BETTER news is that the greens daily will change your consciousness, it's like a happy pill. We were in class the other day, and we were talking about MORPHINE. Did you know that morphine does not stop you from feeling pain.  You can still  feel pain, it's just that you no longer CARE that you have pain.

Green leafy juices are the same, except, it's on an emotional level. IF there are things that trouble you with others, you will notice it, see it, but you won't CARE!! Not in an apathetic heartless way, you just realize that it has nothing to do with you.

It's soo funny, when you become high on green juice, people scream at you, tell you your a moron, and it's all good DUDE!!  You have to promise yourself, everyday for a month-------- a green juice.

Also greens ground you and uplift you in tandem. Do you know why people are addicted to coffee? It's because of the alkaloid content. Alkaloids give you a high, but with coffee.....you crash. Greens do the same thing, except you are in happy land that is REAL without the crash. It's not an artificial, addicted, coping fake high.

Back to the VITA MIX. Yeah, best little gadget I have ever used. I MUST HAVE a Vita mix now. I get twitchy if I feel I can't have one.

Also green supplements are pricey. There is no point going down that road. Also you can add herbs to those drinks. Fresh reishi mushrooms, vanilla bean, coffee beans (why not?), and eye of  noot.

Peace out,

Hello ya'll.

There have been some changes.
1.) my eyesight has improved I no longer squint in class

2.) I can do all the warrior poses in Moksha Yoga. I took Moksha before 3x/week for a month and after that I still couldn't hold any warrior poses for any longer than 3 seconds and I had to modify all of them.

The pic on your left.... this was how I was doing my warrior poses, this is modified. Notice where her right hand is placed. Check photo down the page and notice where her right hand is placed. That's the more advanced version. Last night I did all the advanced warrior poses and held them comfortably. My thighs would always burn and give out. Also anytime I went up a flight of stairs my thighs would burn.

That's how weak my legs were. In fact in the P90X leg routine they make you do seated chair pose at the END. Moksha last night was a bit too easy, which never happens. I enjoyed it immensely, it gives me a chance to practice what I learned at downward dog.

In Ashtanga we learned how to do upward dog and downward dog properly. I never really knew. The major con with Moksha Yoga is the lack of adequate instruction on how to do the poses properly. Also very few instructors come by and adjust their students. That's why I go to downward dog. To get my adjustments and to learn everything the proper way. There IS always a right way to do poses.

I am also more flexible in 1 week, than one month of Moksha Yoga training.
Can't finish a plyometrics routine or a kenpo routine yet, but your not expected to, thats' the challenge.......to finish it. I can see my rectus abdominus and external obliques slightly through my mid section.

I have a salad everyday and I put on top of it the following:
1.) kelp powder
2.) nutritional yeast
3.) dulse flakes
4.) hemp seeds

When I run out of hemp powder I am going to buy Sun Warrior. The best vegan protein supplement on the market today.

Those are my gains. Biggest improvement......yoga. A lot of trigger points in my butt and back resolved themselves after the yoga and working out the antagonists.

Typical day at Sutherland-chan. We had an MSK oral practical today (O.P), and I did a ventral glide on the hip, stripped piriformis and did P.I.R with some facial work to boot. Checked the mailbox for the latest on our other O.P’s ........90% in therapeutic exercise, 96% clinical knee assessment. 

2 weeks ago..............

Our class was doing its first knee assessment and fifty percent of the us were expected to fail.

My O.P partner and I stumbled into the examining cubicle and prepared for our doom. We didn’t want to be one of the fifty percent, and be branded onto the wall of “assessment shame”.  He did his knee assessment first, and I went second. Afterwards we huddled together on the massage table as if our entire self esteem was based on the examiner’s decision. It’s like in Canadian Idol were you hold each other’s hands as you wait to see who stays and who gets booted. She sighed as she told my partner that he failed.  She then told me I almost got perfect. Off he went to join the other 15 people who also didn't make it to prepare to do it again.

The next week,  ...........the therapeutic exercise O.P got pushed ahead 1 week, Jes   “without the icca” (our instructor) was leaving for Tim Buck Two. The stakes were high, and nobody was prepared. I had the same O.P partner and he and I were going in again to meet our doom. It was rough, I couldn’t touch my toes, and my partner could barely do child’s pose. It was the O.P of “inflexible horrors”. It was the same examiner as the last time. I am sure my O.P partner was getting clammy hands at the sight of her again. She was pleased with our comical performances and we both did well. Phew, scraped by that one.

Back to the present...........

It’s not all peachy greens and scents of success.  I had my midterm review with my clinic instructor. Apparently I completely suck, and he intends on failing me unless I get a tutor. He was appalled that I didn’t know to treat the scalene muscles with thoracic outlet syndrome. He had nothing positive to say to me and I walked home crying in the pouring rain.

There you have it, the handy, the dandy, the magical and the tragical of the Sutherland-Chan experience.

The cost of buying fresh cut wheatgrass from someone else is really pricey. It can be about $50 a month. If you grow it yourself it costs $6 a month after you buy what you need. I have grown it before, and I decided to grow it again. I am going to break down the cost for you.

What you Need
1.) Soil (five bags of topsoil for $10 at Loblaws on sale, about a years supply)
2.) Cafeteria trays (from dollar store or a school that doesn't need them)
3.) Manuel wheat grass juicer (the healthy juicer)  ($60 with tax)
4.) Organic Hard Wheatberries ($3 for 1 kg, at the Big Carrot) (probably need 2kg per/month for 1 person)
5.) Ocean water  (called OceanGrown) ($30 for 1 liter, about 6 months supply)

Start up cost $106. If you want the grow lamp I believe they are $140. But all you need for wheatgrass is to put them by a window. I have put mine outside in a shady area.
Of course, when you start to grow one thing, you will want to start growing other things. You can also grow sunflower sprouts, pea shoots, and buckwheat sprouts. You can also make rejuvelac with your wheatberries. I will explain all that in another post.

Ok, here's the deal, I am going to explain how to make wheatgrass so that it will have ninety plus minerals in it. You do not need to buy top of the line soil because you will be watering your wheatgrass with Ocean water. Ocean water contains all the minerals we need. That's why seaweed is so healthy for you, it grows in the ocean which is mineral rich. Volcano ash and kelp meal are mineral rich alternatives.The wheatgrass can only take up as many minerals as it has access to. Since ocean water is so mineral rich you need to put 2 tsp (of ocean water)  in 4L of pure water. Or 1 to 100.

Step 1: Soak I cup of hard (not soft) wheatberries in pure water that has the corresponding amount of ocean water it in........... overnight.

Step 2: Drain the water, then put it in a container that has a mesh screen or cheesecloth on its top. Tilt the wheatberries on a bowl. You want them to start to sprout  (grow tails). This takes a couple of days and you have to keep watering and rinsing the wheatberries as to keep them moist.
Keep these wheatberries out of the light and in a dark space.

Step 3: When the wheatberries have sprouted (grown tails) they are ready for planting (about 2days). Get out your cafeteria tray and put only 1 inch of soil on the tray. Wheatberries need very little soil, infact you can grow them without soil. Spread the wheatberries evenly over the tray. Then water the soil.

Step 4: Cover the tray with a cloth and let the tray stand for a couple of days in darkness until you see the grass push the cloth up. That's when they are ready to be placed in the light.

Step 5: Place them outside in a shady area, or by a window, or under a grow lamp.  If you see mold do not worry as it tends to stick to the roots and you do not juice the roots. Wheatgrass grows best in indirect sunlight and warm temperatures. About twenty degrees.

Step 6: There is a lot of debate as to when to harvest the wheatberries, some people say wait until the grass grows 6 inches, others say wait until it reaches 8 inches. I have discovered that the type of berry makes a huge difference. My grass is dark green and thick, and its optimal length is 6 inches. I have discovered that the grass that reaches 8 inches in length tend to be skinner and lighter green. You harvest the grass until it reaches the desired length or until the grass splits, (grows another blade within it). This process takes many days, perhaps up to 10 days even for the 6 inch grass. Water the grass twice daily, but do not drown your grasslings. Lift up from the roots and take a peek to see if  the roots are moist. Make sure the soil is moist but not soaking.

Step 7: Harvest the wheatgrass by cutting at the roots, and harvest it all at once (it will keep for about a week in the fridge). You can use the rooting system as mulch for your garden. Or you can compost it. Anne Wigmore suggests that you can allow the wheatgrass to re-grow a second time and harvest again. It's up to you. It is rumoured that the quality isn't as good.

How much to take?: The Hippocrates Health Institute  recommends taking only 2oz at any one time and up to 4oz a day. They don't not give their patients anymore than that. The ocean grown wheatgrass is extremely potent, it's like getting a good kick in the ass. So 4oz of ocean grown wheatgrass is NOT the same as wheatgrass grown with polluted tap water. The juicer I have recommended is the same juicer the Hippocrates Health Institute recommends. See my hyperlinks above to find out where to get everything.

Ahhh, there is nothing quite like learning to get over your body image issues like having one of your classmates massage your BUTT (opps,sorry, BUTTOCKS). 

You can't say the following terms in our school:

• butt
• panties
• underwear
• flip
• shimmy
• scooch

Everyone gets to see your gluteals. Not just your partner massaging you, but all the people at the massage tables around you, plus the instructors. 

 IF you do not think people are looking, then you are in  
                                        DENIAL

It's a real test. You can't hide behind clothes anymore, because you don't have any ON!! 

             Your private areas are now public arena

Oh yes indeed, and it gets worse as your instructors saunter by to have a discussion with your massage partner about how to best massage your gluteals.  As if it wasn't horrifying enough.

If you have any issues with being partially nude in front of others, this is a quick wake up call. It was a healing for me. It's great to feel exposed. It's great to feel like I can't hide behind anything anymore. Nudity is a great teacher, and healer.

That's how we compensate/cope isn't it? By hiding behind something, figuratively or literally. Clothes are the most basic form of it. Many pick out clothes to purposefully conceal all their "flaws" because they do not want the whole world to see what they feel most ashamed of.   ...........  their body.

GASP!! People feel ashamed of their body? Well I'll be dammed.

The whole weight loss industry preys on people's SHAME. That is why many people will pay the big bucks.................. to escape feelings of chronic shame.

I can totally understand.  In order to find a mate, women and men, intuitively know that they have to look good, or they won't attract a partner. 

One way to accept yourself just as you are can be to expose yourself, and let people have a GOOD LOOK!! And allow them to think what they will. People are either going to like what they see or don't. If you were a model, people will either like what they see, or they won't. Can't please everyone, so why try?

                                          NO, OF COURSE NOT


              IT'S 200 EASY PAYMENTS OF ONE DOLLAR!!
                                                           

The alternative health community is guilty of pointing an accusatory finger at allopathic medicine. They tout and rant about how bad it is because it suppresses illness and does nothing to heal it.  Well I have a news flash for you ...................

                                                               Homeopathy CAN suppress symptoms too!
 
By the way so can herbs. GASP!!

Let's explore how this is possible. Samuel Hahnemann observed that in nature "like cures like".  When two diseases that are similiar come into contact with one another in the human body, the stronger similiar disease, will render the weaker disease ineffective.    AKA, cure it.

An example is small pox and cow pox. Two different diseases but SIMILIAR in the expressions of their symptoms upon the human body. So if you have small pox and I give you an innoculation of cow pox that is stronger than the intensity of your small pox symptoms, the inncoluation will render the small pox ineffective and you will no longer have it.

Do you understand? Sort of? Kind of? Not really? Do you need a coffee break?

Ok, now the opposite is true. When two dissimiliar diseases come into contact in a human body the stronger dissimiliar disease will SUPPRESS the weaker one. Let's say you have chronic eczema and you get cancer. Two completely different disease states, and symptoms. The cancer will suppress the eczema, because cancer is a stronger deeper dissimiliar disease than eczema.  The eczema will appear to go away. The eczema has simply been suppressed.  When the cancer is healed the eczema will come back worse than it was before the cancer appeared.

                                              All suppressed conditions come back worse

                                        Homeopathic remedies are artificial disease states

                   When you take a remedy, the body believes it has taken on a new disease

Homeopathic remedies by their design will always be stronger than the illness a patient has, therefore rendering the disease ineffective. But only if the homeopath finds the similiar remedy to the patient's diease.

Quiz: What would happen if a homeopath choose a remedy that was dissimiliar to the disease the patient has?

CBC marketplace has aired a show just recently asking: Is Homeopathy Con or Cure?

Here is the link  http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2011/cureorcon/. Feel free to watch it.

The intention of this program is to discredit homeopathy.

The whole argument is that there isn't any active ingredient in homeopathy so therefore it's essentially "nothing". There isn't supposed to be an active ingredient in homeopathic medicine, that's the whole point of homeopathy, it's an energetic form of medicine, and NOT chemical in nature. We have remedies made from snake venom, do you really want ANY active ingredient in those remedies?

The logic is: if there isn't an active ingredient then it can't possible have any effect on human beings.
Oh really? What's the active ingredient in Sunlight? Sound? Electricity? Or even thought?

There isn't one. WHY? because it's ENERGY!! Electricity is an energy and not a substance, ELF waves, radio waves, microwaves, sound, and light. They are all examples of "energy". And they affect us. 

                         Capturing energy and making a medicine from it is called ...........HOMEOPATHY!

We capture energy from the sun all the time and we call that solar panels. Plants capture and store sunlight through photosynthesis. Energy can be captured and stored. Water is used as a medium for storage in  homeopathy. Massaru Emoto has already scientifically proven that water can store energy and retain memory. We store energy in our own cells, in our mitochondria. Energy can be harnessed and stored. And that CAN be scientifically proven.

Homeopathy has never claimed to have an active ingredient. It's not supposed to. What the scientific community needs to do to discredit homeopathy is prove that the remedies contain no energetic memories of the substance it is made from. Then they can have a claim. Then they can have an arguement.

PS: homeopathics can NOT be used to vaccinate. There is no such thing as a homeopathic vaccine. Homeopathy is "like cures like", not "same cures same". You only give homeopathics to people that are already suffering from an illness, not to prevent illness. Gosh!

We had orientation today in massage therapy. Two healing modalities and two different realities altogether.  I was there today listening to all the opportunities and guaranteed jobs that we were sure to get once we graduated.

The way it is right now, the majority of humanity don't know what homeopathy is, and it's not regulated, and it's very esoteric, and many people, aren't taking it seriously. People have to pay out of their own pockets on a modality they know nothing about, and don't understand, and it's not an easy sell. One of my homeopathic colleagues is going to naturopathic college and several others are studying to be MD's. 

Massage therapy is really integrated into many aspects of society, from hospitals to sports teams, to clinics, to spas, to retreat centers, to self employment.  The opportunties are ridiculous. You can pick and choose your abundance. In homeopathy, it's more like having to justify your existence.

The solution for homeopathy is regulation and education. My school the ochm knows this, and I commend them. The ochm is at the fore front of the regulation process. When the government sees it as a respectable profession then humanity will naturally follow suit. Then Bryce Wylde (a tv talk show host) is doing his best to educate the public. So there are some real heros out there that are advocating for our profession and never giving up, never letting in.

At the end of the day, I need to pay my bills and have the life I want, so I am more than excited to be in massage therapy school and meet society where they are at. Society at this point may not be ready for those deep fundamental changes that homeopathy produces, but are open to massage as a  preliminary step to natural wellness. Massage can be very soothing, healing and transformational.  Touch is a powerful force to be reckoned with. If this is what the majority of human beings can handle at this time, then so be it.

A side note: One of the main causes of suffering on this planet, is the feeling of being separate, alone, tossed aside, ignored, and dissconnected from others, from nature, and from life. Massage therapy reconnects human beings to each other again, literally. A patient can re-connect with their fellow man again and feel loved, nurtured, appreciated, and soothed. This reminds us of the ultimate lesson in life. The lesson being that happiness comes when we connect with our brothers and sisters, help them, love them, and develop meaningful bonds and communities. Suffering comes from the neglect and uncaringness of our fellow man.

Do you know of anyone that fixates romantically on people they can't have? Do they dwell and pine on them for years? The relationship never progresses past a friendship, but they keep hoping and fantasizing in silence?

They may be needing the homeopathic remedy Natrum Muriaticum or Nat-Mur. Nat mur is made from salt, it is a mineral.  This is the main remedy for dissapointments in love. The nat mur patient lives within a dichotomy. On one hand they are needy, dependent , and afraid of being alone. They have to be in a relationship. 

On the other hand they are afraid of rejection. She is afraid of being betrayed, dissapointed or let down by her one true love. She desires the relationship but doesn't feel good enough to really have it. In her mind she feels she deserves to be treated second rate. So she will go after someone she can have a relationship with that will never pass beyond an emotional level, or a real commtiment like marriage. She may go after married men or women, that will treat her poorly.

She tries and keeps the relationship superficial and light. Not showing that she cares, that way she can avoid being hurt. She can live within this horrible prison of existence for years, and not really enjoy having a true relationship with anyone.

Their enitre life revolves around this love relationship and how the other person treats them. She constantly dwells on the relationship and all the hurtful things the other person has done. She will suffer in slience not daring to express her feelings out of fear of the loss of the relationship. These people over time become, alone, aloof, silent, reserevd, bitter and resentful.  When their hard exterior cracks, there is a great flooding of emotion and all of the feelings of hurt, anger and dissapopintment surface for healing.  The main feeling is that of being ALONE and REJECTED.

On an physical level, it is a chiefly a headache remedy, they constantly desire salt, are very thirsty, and can even sweat salt.

Platina or Platinum is a homeopathic remedy. One of precious metals, and in homeopathy there are several, gold, silver, palladium, copper, diamond etc. Platinum is more precious than gold or silver. Platinum is a symbol of prestige, and it is the second highest ranking in awards, even above gold, silver, and bronze, but below diamond. I have never prescribed platina, but it's a great remedy to talk about.

Platina types are haughty and highly intelligent by nature. He imagines that he is of a high born family and that his friends and relatives are of a low origin, he frowns upon them and becomes arrogant and haughty. He walks about with a stiff erect conceited gait.

The mental state of a platina patient is one of CONCEIT, and NARCISSISM.  They are the pompous asses of society, they believe they are better than everyone on all levels of existence, even the soul level. They feel everyone is their inferior, and develop a disgust and contempt for everything in existence, even their own children. Infact they have been known to harbour an impulse to KILL their children or partners. That's how deep the contempt feels for them.

Because everyone is inferior to them, they perceive those about them as stupid, boring and a complete waste of their time. They are irritable, anxious and serious about matters that aren't really that serious. Any disturbance in their pride will bring about their symptoms. Platina's may be friendly to you but around the company of others they pretend as if they do not know you. They only speak to you if they have to. They are incredibly moody people.

Due to the irritating nature of the common man, life is mundane for them and they develop a distaste for life itself.  In their overwhelming boredom they can turn to the sexual sphere and this can drive them to excessive masterbation to escape having to deal with the indolence of human society. Platina is a remedy for nymphomania, and an impulse towards unnatural sex. He may love perversity or a liking toward animals or sodomy.

They are sensitive but do not get offended easily, after all why should they care what the average neanderthal thinks of them? They are sensitive to any marks against their pride or station in life. Anything that may reflect they are not of a higher class.

So how might being a pompous ASS reflect itself in the human body? We could see a lot of numbness, and coldness due to their apathy and cold nature. Violent cramping pains, and a great deal of imbalance in the sexual organs. We would see a high sex drive with ravenous hunger, and exhaustion of the nervous system.

I am going back to school yet again. I just signed off on the Second Career contract. Have you heard of Second career? It's a government program to help people find a job that have been laid off.  They throw money at you to get re trained so you can get back into the labour force. AKA Dalton's Mc Guinty's way of alleviating guilt from his conscience. 

But you have to qualify to get in, at first they let everyone in (that's our stupid government!!). But then all the government money ran out, so then they had to buckle down and get strict.



Now you have to be a poster child to get in. These are the parameters for getting in second career:
1.) Must be laidoff
2.) Basically if you have been in the same bloody job for over 10 years
3.) The job you were in is now obsolete or doesn't exist therefore you can't find a job in your field
4.) You must possess ZERO skills and ZERO hope of finding another job
5.) Also you have to be unemployed for at least 8 straight months, and show that you have been trying to find a job with your ZERO skills and nothing to offer any employer
6.) Must prove you are in financial need of the money, aka, no rich partners
7.) Almost destitude
 
                                                                  Basically you have to be "ME"

I fit almost all the criteria. I seriously didn't even remember what I was doing before being a meter reader.

The last job I had was in 1996 as a waitress for someplace. Yup, 1996, George Micheal was still in the closet singing "fastlove", Toni Braxton was unbreaking hearts, it was a beautiful life for Ace of Base and everyone was doing the "macarena". I had no recent experience in anything other than my obsolete job. Nobody hired me.

Also there are stipulations for second career. The maximum amount of time to go to school is 2 years, and they only give you a maximum amount of money $28,000. You also have to choose a profession that is in demand so you become employable. So you can't go and become a dentist, or a lawyer, or a freakin neurosurgeon!! Dalton ain't that generous.

So I thought, hey I can be a mechanchik and work for Ms. Lube!! But nope mechanics are in school for longer than 2 years. I thought humm, I can be a plumber, and have plumbers bum!! No, hummm, I could be a lab technician and analyze peoples POO for parasites, and urine for diabeties! Surely there must be something I could do?

So there was really only one option that I could pick on their "list". Massage Therapy.

School starts Jan 4th/2011 and I'm gonna

Sometimes in life we really need something. A lawyer, a mechanic, a doctor, a therapist. A lot of times we can't afford them. We may think they charge ludricrous fees, and we don't even see a solution because we don't have the money. We visit their web page, go to the fees section and make a decision based on that. We either got the money or we don't. Case closed.

Some of us may even feel resentful, we feel denied, because we can't gain access to them, and resent their fees and lifestyle. But we wouldn't if we could afford them.

I am going to tell you where the balance point lies. First of all, it is important to pay people what they are worth! Life is about balance, and doctors, lawyers, mechanics have spent years in school for what they do, and they should be paid what they are worth.

But you also need some dam good help!  So how the heck do you get that fabulous practitioner, mechanic, or a lawyer  for less? By first understanding that these people deserve their fees. Just as you would deserve something that you have earned. Empathy is a powerful thing dear ones.

I am going to literally tell you what you can do so that you can get the laywer, doctor, web guy or mechanic to reduce their fees by half or more, and they will do it gladly (if they are smart).

1.) You call them and state you really need "xyz" done, and that they are the only practitioner, lawyer, doctor you WANT, because you feel you have a RAPPORT with them , you LIKE them, and they UNDERSTAND your needs. And tell them that they should be paid what they are worth, because you are a business owner yourself, or your partner is, or a friend (empathize), so you understand. But money is just tight at the moment. Let them know you value them.

2.) Ask them for a fee that you can afford and give them something in return. It's important to appreciate and honor human beings. The taking and receiving should be balanced. Undercutting hard working lawyers or doctors is not a FAIR exchange. We need to be honorable and fair in our dealings with others. My advice is to offer something else in lieu of the money you can't pay. Something they WILL value, to balance, to make things fair.

3.) Tell them that if they reduce their fees, and you get better, or they solve your problem, that you will give them testimonials and actively refer them.

Random side note: No, not all people actively refer, some do, some don't. Why? people are caught up in their own life, in their own world, and helping YOU out isn't on the top of their list. Human nature. Also most people have to ask people for testimonials, again people rarely volunteer.

AND BE SINCERE. if you have no intention of putting in a good word for them, then don't bother. You see a business is run on 2 things, referals and testimonials. And both are worth there weight in gold to a savvy business owner. They also carry further than fees, and smart business owners know it!

People love to be helpful, and love to be told how great they are, and everyone loves empathy and appreciation.  So if you want that perfect lawyer, doctor, etc, then learn to ask for what you want instead of just assuming you can't have it because you can't afford it. 

I needed a savvy copywriter to do something for me I couldn't afford. I followed the instructions I have outlined for you, and I got what I wanted. 

Other helpful hint:

1.) When doing a deal approach with confidence and an offer they can't refuse. Do NOT play the "poor me, I have no money card", aka the GUILT card. Make people want to help you, not feel forced to. OR you want them but don't need them approach.

                                                Sweat a lot, Stretch a little

You literally sweat all of your inner toxic crap out! I love it, I have been going for a few weeks now. I alternate this yoga with Yoga at  Downward Dog at Bathurst and Queen. Moksha focuses on detox, and ashtanga yoga focuses on strength.

It's a great way to reverse much of the damage one has done to their body over many years, of alcohol consumption, junk foods, fast foods, and drugs. It's also a great way to detox air pollution and the effects of chem trails as well.

Everybody needs some form of consistent detox in their life, and not everybody wants to fast, do colonics, or eat raw food all day long.

The last thing I want to do is put crap into my body after all the effort I put in to get rid of it.

Toxins affect our brain chemistry creating a CORPSE like state after awhile. Making it difficult to engage with life, think properly, feel motivated about anything, and, eventually we become...........
                                                                 
                                                                         SLOTH

Sloth -------- the epitome of laziness, the pinnacle of degeneration, and the archetype of societal breakdown.

                                                                                 Abolish your INNER SLOTH!!
                                                                                                Take YOGA
                                                                                  Whine less, breathe more
                                                                            And Tell them to Kiss Your Asana
