WELLNESS GENIE

I was inspired to write the divine feminine after emotions that made me really reflect on my essence. Thank the heavens for spiritual mentors in our journey!

Have you ever thought of your life and feel that you are not where you want to be ? I need to do more, be more , create more! That was my feelings recently and it moved me out of gratitude, love and joy into arrogance and impatience. A place I never want to me, honestly this is my path of weakness but it is being human after all and we are here to grow, evolve and live a life of awareness and of purpose. There is no better way to growth than having that awareness , realization and guidance you need at that time.

After this shift I found my divine feminine..once again. It is the divine feminine that is so pure yet so powerful at the same time. One that draws beauty from all around her and people are magnetized by her light and shining aura. We each have that sacred feminine aspect within us, waiting to shine. She is part of us all.  She embraces the masculine and feminine , that oneness in connection. The Divine feminine is the seat of creativity , that creative life force that stirs our soul. It is a sacred connection to Mother Earth.That conection to Mother Earth is so beautiful and grounding at the same time. I experience the divine feminine when I am in my sacred space, connecting with myself when I am open to creative expression and express the beauty of my soul, when I am one with nature. I experience her when I Love me totally and deeply in all my beautiful moments.

The Divine feminine essence ….It all starts with you, with self care by treating ourselves like the Goddess we need to be.Nuture yourself with all that you love to do! It could be an energising bath with candles or a special creative hobby.

Nature is powerful – Stand with your bare feet on the ground. Smell the flowers. Just connect with this force of nature.

Celebrate life’s beautiful moments. There is beauty all around us, take time to smell the roses and appreciate life as a sacred gift.

Enhance your space with beauty and color. Essential oils , energising crystals and special flowers that uplift your senses.

Heal your body- healing begins with you. Release negative emotions that no longer serve your highest good and replace them with positive, uplifting ones, you deserve to feel the best you!

Follow your intuition – Listen to the intuitive force within you. That is Divine feminine guiding you, take the time to listen.

The Divine feminine is a sacred aspect of ourselves, Nuture it. May we always live in love and divinity and celebrate the beauty of life & the beauty within ourselves!

Love and Goddess blessings,

 

Hello  beautiful readers! Hope you are feeling energized and in good spirits!

I recently attended a brilliant conference in Dubai on the future of Workplace and one of the topics was Wellness in the Workplace – a topic I am inspired about!

I thought I would share my knowledge with you on some key points on workplace wellness. What is workplace wellness? Any organizational activity that promotes a healthier workplace and I am all about a healthier workforce.

With busy lifestyles and schedules, deadlines and crazy lives , it is vital to keep our  mind, body and soul in balance. This ensures health on a optimal level and better health leads to greater productivity and effectiveness.

Here are some key tips for you to ensure a healthier and happier space & lifestyle:

1) Take care of your posture- Find a great chair that supports your back and hips. This takes the strain of your muscles and keeps the circulation going.

2) Office Exercise: Move your body – If your environment involves you constantly sitting at your desk make sure you make the time to move about. Take a walk, move around and stimulate your blood flow. Take the stairs , not the lift 🙂

3) Lighting, Clean Air & Clear Space – Eliminate clutter on your desk and get organized. Ensure that your workspace has good lighting. Consider getting a sun lamp and move your desk near the window. Allow fresh air flow in your room, get an air purifier or use some green power – the beauty of having a plant in your office!

4) Start your day off right -A handful of berries goes a long way, add some to your breakfast or even a berry smoothie is nutritious and loaded with antioxidants. A good exercise regime often gets your energized for the day ahead. Have your meals on time during the day. Keep those blood sugar levels in balance!

5) Manage Stress- What do you do to manage stress? Stress Management Techniques are effective in managing stress and some of these include meditation and yoga. Find out what works best for your constitution and body and implement these in your lifestyle. Supplement well, B vitamins in the body are a great boost for energy, make sure you take one that is bioavailable and as natural as possible. Remember Stress can lead to serious health issues long term.

6) Sleep well – Read a book and relax your mind. It is important to get 6-8  hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation impairs our performance and productivity.

7) Schedule time for recreation – Set some time aside for investing in you. Rejuvenate your being with activities you love and enjoy. You will feel better for doing this!

Are you in a corporate environment? What wellness strategies does your company have in place to ensure a healthier workplace? I would love to hear from you!

Hello beautiful readers! Thank you for subscribing to wellnessgenie.blog.  All my love!

Today I want to touch on the topic of allergies. I recently had an allergy screening for food allergies done and I was surprised at my food intolerances.  I take good measures to improve my health and wellbeing daily- supplement, diet, exercise, meditation & now I have a report highlighting a few allergies! I was disappointed but more importantly aware of my body & awareness is always a blessing! Allergy Screening helps you identify your food allergies and common allergies & it is always advisable to get one done.

Wheat, Gluten, Nuts and Milk Allergies are among the common ones. Common environmental Allergies are- Pollen, Dust and Pet Dander. The list does go on.

What is an allergy? Allergies are hypersensitive immune responses to substances that come in contact with the body. These substances are called the ‘allergens’. Allergy symptoms can sometimes be mild and in the case of a severe allergy can lead to a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis ( This needs treatment immediately) Some of the symptoms of allergies are sneezing, itchy eyes,  runny or blocked nose, red watery eyes, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough & nausea. Food allergies can also have digestive cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and bloating.

Allergies- A Natural Approach:

Neti Pot and Saline Rinse : You can make your own saline rinse using Himalayan salt or sea salt in boiled distilled water. Using the Neti Poy with your saline solution helps clear the sinuses and flush out the allergens. Make sure the solution is sterile.

Get a good probiotic:  We need beneficial bacteria in the GUT. This helps restore overall balance between the good and bad bacteria in the GUT.  When looking at a probiotic make sure the probi is suitable for your constitution. I also take Kefir Milk (does not taste too good) but  has great benefits and high probiotic content.

Quercetin: Quercetin is a bioflavanoid that stabilises the release of histamine and helps control allergy symptoms naturally.

Diet Check:  Making the necessary changes to your diet can assist with overall health and wellbeing. Identify your food allergens and discuss an allergy treatment plan with your practitioner.

Anti Allergy Injections– Anti -Allergy Injections that we as practitioners administer are natural and homeopathic in nature. There are used in an acute situation to bring relief from allergy symptoms.

These are general guidelines for allergies, getting an allergy screening done, identifying your allergies and taking the right approach for your body with a practitioner can be greatly beneficial in healing allergies.

Allergy Screening is offered at Life Force Health and Wellness Centre based in Johannesburg.  Life Force also offers wellness services to the Western Cape & KZN. Contact the centre for more information. (www.lifeforcehealthwellness.com)

Hello beautiful readers!

How was the solar eclipse? Wow amazing and lots of energy shifts, realisations and guidance. Last night I sat back and thought about how precious the gift of life is. Lets be grateful for a beautiful life… TODAY!

Being Women’s Month. Here are some wellness tips for women that I would love to share with you. We play so many beautiful roles as women each enriching in their diversity. Each unique and so intricate a the same time. Taking care of our mind ,body and spirit is essential for health and wellness.  Ready to supplement?

Some vitamin and minerals are of high importance to Women:

Multivitamins – We are not getting the adequate amount of Vitamins for our bodily needs from foods , taking a multivitamin meets RDA and gives us a cocktail of vitamins and minerals for good health, A- Zinc all in one capsule.

Vitamin B Complexes –B complexes help with Nervous System Function, metabolism, brain function, energy levels.

---

Calcium and Magnesium –Ever heard of osteoporosis? Brittle bones as we get older. We need to protect our bones from defects later on. Calcium supports the skeletal and muscular systems. Magnesium helps with relaxation of the muscular systems.

Iron & Folate– Iron is well known supplement for women. Iron assists in transport and storage of oxygen, energy production, boosting immune system.

In a nutshell, good supplementation, exercise, a balanced lifestyle all support optimal health.

They are not just good to eat but full of great nutrients and antioxidants! Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA. Cranberries are a rich red colour and contain good immunity boosting properties including the nutrient Vitamin C. Cranberries help prevent urinary tract infections and aid in health of the bladder, they are also a healthy immunity booster. Cranberries also have additional ‘super food’ benefits in heart health as an anti-inflammatory and is researched as one of the top antioxidant foods.

I recommend a concentrated unsweetened cranberry juice blend harvested in pure form. I love a handful of cranberries in my smoothies and cereals.Not to mention, half a cup of cranberries contains only 25 calories!

Health benefits and a tasty addition all in one!

Our energy as women is every expanding , as women we give ourselves selflessly to our career, our families our network.

Sometimes we need the replenishing too often I find women in my line of work blocked with their receptive energy. They need to find that balance again ,holistically this results in feminine complaints and healthcare issues. The body needs to find that energetic balance again to thrive.

As women we need to give to ourselves emotionally ,mentally ,physically and spiritually to feel complete and connected again to be  vibrantly alive!
