WINNING

The phrase health is wealth takes on even greater meaning when we begin to apply it to every aspect of our lives. The concept of health applies to more than physical wellness. It's a wholistic term encompassing spirituality AND mentality.

It has been said before and I like to reiterate it: It's not the messenger, it's the message.

The thought that individuals have the power to accomplish ANYTHING we focus Energy, Intent and Will on is as ancient as the eldest beings of this planet and, beyond. In fact, humans have been transforming that thought into reality since our existence. Evidence of this is as complex as the design and, subsequent, construction of the largest physical edifices and the most intricately detailed mechanical structures we know {bridges, airplanes, buildings...}. If it is possible to conceive and manifest monumental machines, why, then, do we find it so difficult to grasp that we have the power to harness the same energy and put it into curing ourselves of whatever ails us. Whether the illness is addiction, cancer or H.I.V., we can think it and it is so. It has been done time and again. Not a believer? google it!

When Charlie Sheen stated that he handled his addiction that way, people mocked and snickered in disbelief. Beneath what appeared to be the outrageous statements of a troubled and crazy individual, I heard Universal Truth. While watching his interviews, I found that I related to much of what he was saying. I've been aware of the my power to create with my thoughts all my life. It's, partly, a Pisces thing. As an adult, I've become even more consciously aware of it. In my experience, I have overcome acne, eczema, migraines, shopping addiction and a host of other illnesses. My father was addicted to crack in the early '90s. He, too, overcame his addiction with the power of mind. Inspired by thoughts he had while reading a letter I wrote him, he made up his mind to stop using crack and he did.

Ponder the meaning of these phrases: make up your mind; change begins in the mind;what you can conceive, you can achieve. Those are just a few of countless similar sayings alluding to the power within that we all possess. What meaning, if any, do they have for you?

Perhaps you hadn't given thought to any of the above. I trust that, after reading this post, someone will. Crazy-ass Charlie Sheen has. What's more, he has transformed his life and is creating the effects he desires. And, for that reason, he is WINNING.

LAW #6~ SWEAT!

Want a Gorgeous Glow?

You gotta DETOXIFY from the Inside Out!

Sweat it out/ Let it out!!

I'm just not that into the gym, you say. That's fine {neither am I}. But, in order to get your perspiration on, there needs to be Some Kinda physical activity.

No need to make it a chore, though. Be creative. I say, Do what you like! Get your boogie on- Wind ya waist to Dancehall music/ throw on some Old School Hip Hop records and do the runnin' man; Clean your place from top to bottom- several times a week; even better, have some SEXercise- grind it up! {in addition to your great new skin, you'll be in a really great mood}~ seriously. ;-)

Whether you choose traditional or alternative forms of movement, commit to doing it as often as possible. Schedule it on your calendar as if you were taking a class {even if you'll be running up and down steps for an hour a day}.

Make it happen!!

You Can Do It!

Your Hair Will Thank You...

Your Skin Will Thank You...

Law #5~ WATER OUT

What you do to the inside you must do to the outside.

Just as our internal bodies need water, our hair and skin need it, too.

Hair and Skin need MOISTURE EVERYDAY!! That’s right, even BLACK HAIR. In general, Black Hair, Scalp and Skin are more susceptible to dryness and the damages it can cause.

*{The reason Caucasians need to fully wash their hair daily is that their sebaceous glands release a significant amount of oil from the scalp.}

On the other hand, Black hair should, at the very least, be dabbed, sprayed or, otherwise, dampened with water on a daily basis. So, whether that means you wet your hair in the shower, wear a shower cap to trap steam, pat some water on it with your hands or spray it with a spray bottle it needs that dose of agua everyday.

*Important TIP to Seal In Moisture~ Use an All Natural Hempseed Oil Based Moisturizer that nourishes with Essential Fatty Acid’s, Protein and Vitamin E. Two Excellent products that do this are “Royal Anointing Oil” and “Cannabis Supreme Crème” both by Hemptherapy. They can be purchased at www.mothanature.com.

The two products just mentioned above are also safe enough to be applied to your skin, as well {face, included}. The great thing about products by Hemptherapy is that each and every product is multi~ purpose containing ingredients safe enough for use on hair and skin.

Last point: The face also requires several splashes of cool water daily, to be pat dried and sealed with a Hemptherapy moisturizer. And, while we may bathe our skin less in the Fall/ Winter compared to Spring/ Summer, the body requires more oil~ based moisturizers.

*Motha Nature’s Personal Beauty Tip* For Body and Face, wash with warm water and do a final rinse with cool water. Cool water helps to close up pores. The combination of warm and cool water, in that order, leads to glowing and more youthful looking skin. Trust Motha Nature. She knows. :-)

Law #4~ WATER IN It's really pretty simple. Where there is water there is Life.

Our relationship with water is essential. The Hydrogen and Oxygen in water are 2 Elements we Absolutely Need for our Development, Nurturing and Growth.

Whether it's 8 glasses a day, 4 glasses a day, 10 glasses a day- EVERYONE’S NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT! You will become a Master of Law #1 and be able to listen to your body. “Who Feels it, Knows it.” You’ll know when you're drinking the right amount for you because you’ll feel it.

Water keeps everything from blood to food flowing within the body. It cleanses the cells and aids the removal of toxins in the bladder and colon.

“Who Can’t Hear will Feel.”

Decide not to listen to your body when it asks for water and you’ll reap the consequences = Dry Skin, Brittle, Breaking Hair, etc… Develop your listening skills so you’ll know exactly what to do. Too much and/or too little of anything is not a good thing. That, also, includes water intake.

Increase your intake of watery foods: Juicy FRUITS, SALAD GREENS and CUCUMBER. DRINK MORE HERBAL TEAS and FRESH PRESSED JUICES, in addition to water. WATER Inside --> HEALTHY GLOW outside.

Law #3~ TRY A LITTLE LOVE!

If you want SHEEN, STRENGTH & GROWTH on your HEAD; and, CLEAR, BRIGHT & BEAUTYFULL SKIN---> YOU NEED TO BE ALL THAT WITHIN.

LOVE Is the Most PowerFull of all emotions. Indeed, it Is the Strongest Force In the Universe!!!

Love Is All That Really Matters.

Embrace and Focus on All That Is Love In Your Life. Release all that is not. The use of some other 4- letter words cause us stress and do major harm to us spiritually, sub~consciously and physically.

Happiness= HEALTH
