A Journey to Health

Dr Jude recommended a new diet plan for me. Requires a strict diet and an hcg supplement. I’ll post more later. Today and tomorrow I am eating what I want fat-wise prepping for 21 days of no fat!

Okay why have I never had a massage before??? I feel like a million dollars right now. Do you know how much it costs to feel like a million dollars? Only 75! That is a good bargain. Imagine being in a quiet room with flute and rain drop sounding music playing softly in the background..the light breezy scent of sweet smelling essential oils in the air…still, calm and refreshing like soft drops of rain on a summer evening.

In this rain drop therapy, Jude dropped essentials oils on my spine and gently feathered them in. She explained the feathering and light touch is done to rejuvenate and re-set my nervous system. After each oil was feathered into my skin along my spinal column, she placed a warm moist towel over the therapy area to drive the healing properties of the oil into my back. I was glad when she told me the oils were anti inflamatory, anti parasitic and anti viral! That sounded very good indeed. They felt almost…well…like that old commercial with the chocolate candy coating the peppermint center..remember the cool sensation they discussed! Like that! I love feeling like a chocolate coated peppermint patty. LOL Ooh ooh..get this, I almost forgot the oils have healing properties that can last up to 7 days! Jude said she can also give this treatment to folks who can’t lay on their stomachs, like the elderly, so people can sit up for the rain drop therapy. Good to know!

After the oils set in Jude made me feel like a pile of limpy spaghetti noodles. I have never had a massage before from a certified massage therapist. Now I know what I have been missing all my life. I mean I am totally and utterly relaxed. She massaged my back–totally awesome. And she took extra care around my burnt shoulders which was nice since I went camping over the weekend and fried myself. Jude is just like that. Very kind and considerate of how YOU feel. After the back massage, she did some kind of calf massage, then I turned and she massaged my neck which was just out of this world. My neck always hurts where I sit and work at my computer all day. Felt like all my stress was just being squeezed out of my head. But she almost put me to sleep when she massaged my hands. She paid extra special attention to me there–I think it’s because Jude knows I am always typing and writing all day long.

I cannot stress enough–get yourself to Dr. Jude asap. GO to the new gift certificate pages I am putting up on the main website and buy yourself a half hour or one hour or the extra special super duper rain drop therapy massage treatment and go. You might get one for a friend, but I give you permission to be good to yourself for a change and get it for yourself. Trust me, you won’t feel a bit selfish after about 5 minutes. You’ll be thinking–why didn’t I do this sooner? What is stopping me from coming back and getting it again? It will be the best 75 you ever spend. Trust me. It’s worth more than a pair of shoes. It’s worth more than a big fancy meal overstuffing yourself in a big fancy restaurant. Your health is invaluable. I spent the weekend camping out and recentering myself, recommitting to eating healthy and working this program with Dr. Jude. I ate lightly the whole weekend–ate mostly fruits, whole grain lo calorie products and salads. Top that off with my massage treatment and I am floating around with a big healthy smile on my face now!

Sitting here with my feet in the aqua chi bath. Laptop on my lap…talking with Jude about our next plan of attack. I am finishing up turning her healthy cookbook into a pdf. We’ll have that available for sale as a download on her website most likely by the first of next week.

We’re also posting her healthy cooking videos she has been making…we’ll have snippets so you can review them and then decide if you would like to make a purchase. You’ll be able to download and save to your computer. Very cool.

Next on the list, we’re making some tweaks to the website.

I tell you I have been so stressed lately. And coming here to The Wellness Cottage is like taking a weekend long getaway by yourself except without spending the whole weekend trying to do it! I am a single mom and it is very difficult to take whole weekends to work on my inner self. If you have never taken a few hours to spend on your own wellness, Dr. Jude is the woman who can help you change that. I’m not just saying that because she is my friend either.

Call her today. Get the consult. Even if you think you’re perfectly healthy, there are any number of services she offers at The Wellness Cottage that can just tweak your level of wellness and make you feel even better.

I have lost a few pounds now. Admittedly this last week I fell off the wagon a bit. Yep, it’s man-related. Started worrying over one too much. Now I am just dropping that and focusing on me–I have to get myself better and my head and heart and spirit in the right place before there’s ever going to be room for a man.

My aqua chi water is looking pretty rusty….so my foot soak time must be coming to a close….

Now I love to soak my big ol’ size 11′s. Kick back. Close your eyes…ahh…and then don’t look down! Groossss. What is that in the water?? Well that, my dear is all the crap you have floating around in your blood. Jude has more info about all the details on her site here, but the jist is:

“The Aqua- Chi Machine generates a magnetic bio-field – similar to that of a living organism. This is a complex process, requiring a base that already contains its own unique frequencies. The only naturally occurring substance with this property is water. When the Aqua- Chi Machine is placed in water, the water and the Aqua- Chi Machine uniquely interact with an electric current to produce a bio-charge. Passing electrical current between specially designed plates in water creates the needed magnetic field to complete the process.  When we immerse ourselves into water, our frequencies are added to the water as a “memory.” The Aqua- Chi Machine instantly adjusts to the given frequency – ours, allowing energy (chi) to flow unobstructed. ”

I thought the pictures she has on that page looked kind of like you were soaking in dirty water…but my water turned quite red with black flecks. I think it must have been pulling out those toxins I had from my forays into tobacco use I sometimes tried when I was a wee bit younger. That and some other junk….

Here’s my feet:

I must be one toxic girl....

Definitely makes me want to forget about Big Macs, walk 2 miles a day, eat raw salads twice a day, take all my vitamins, breathe fresh air and never touch toxic things again. How dirty am I inside? Is that why I am finding it so hard for the weight to get off me this time trying? Last year this time when I was trying to lose weight it was quite easy. The pounds were coming off about 2-4 a week. Now my body just won’t let it go. Just wondering of it is because I am so toxic now. Crossing my fingers the aqua chi foot therapy will help me rid myself of the gunk inside me. That with everything else Jude is helping me do!
