Meditation 101

Meditation helps you to grow your own intuitive faculty. It becomes very clear what is going to fulfill you, what is going to help you flower. – Osho

Let’s be honest... Life can get a little crazy at times. We live in a society with daily demands and move at a hectic pace which often leave us feeling stressed, overworked, tired and even unhappy. Meditation is a simple, effective and convenient way to calm your busy mind, relax your body, become grounded and find inner peace amidst the chaos of day-to-day life.

For 7 days, I will teach you what Buddhist monks have known for centuries. I will share with you how meditation has changed my life for better and why it's part of my daily routine. Each day I will guide you through a meditation (you can sit or recline in any comfortable position which will allow you to stay awake during practice) to help achieve a calm mind and spirit. It's the perfect way to introduce yourself to meditation and gain a sense of peace!

Coconut Oil


Coconut oil... some people love it, and some don't know where to begin in using it.  Coconut oil can be used over 101 different ways from cooking to skin care and everything in between. Today we are going to focus on the health benefits don't worry as we get into the summer I will share all the skin care ways coconut oil can be used. 

Lets start with the basics… 

1. What is coconut oil? 

Coconut oil is the edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. 

2. What are some of the health benefits? 

Oh this list goes on and on from killing pathogens, to burning fat and increasing energy to reducing your hungry, reducing your cholesterol and by personal favorite boosting brain function.  However, for more detail we are going to turn to Kris Gunnar and his great article on the Top 10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Finally, doctors recommend adults to have about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil a day in their diet to take in an equivalent amount of lauric acid a nursing infant would receive.
