Now you can improve the fat burning process 24 hours a day by Norm Danniels
Whether you are trying to lose a few stubborn pounds or completely reshape your body, you need to make sensible dietary changes and engage in some regular exercise. A magic pill to do all the work would be great, but it just doesn’t work that way. Having said that, an effective fat burning supplement can be a wonderful catalyst to help you achieve your weight loss goals and accelerate the whole fat burning process. It needs to be strategic and target the specific fat burning opportunities that occur over the course of the day. Men and women are metabolically and hormonally very different. Women, for example...

Overweight Pets - Its not just a human problem! by Linda Buhler, Pet Practitioner
Just like us, pets that are overweight are at a much higher risk of developing a number of health conditions. Problems like arthritis, heart disease, respiratory difficulties, and diabetes are among the long list of issues seen in cats and dogs who weigh more than they should. Unfortunately, unlike humans, obesity in pets is often not taken very seriously. The best way to maintain a healthy weight for your pet is to feed them an appropriate diet that is adjusted to ...

How to Buy and Store Vegetables
Your mother's voice echoes in your head every time you head to the supermarket. You know you should eat more leafy greens, rainbow colored vegetables, and fibre-rich fruit, but it seems like every time you shell out the cash for the fresh stuff, you end up throwing much of it away. You go shopping on Saturday, and by Monday, the lettuce is wilted, the tomatoes are mealy and squishy, and the avocados, well, their buttery flesh is streaked with black. Food is expensive, and you can't afford to waste it. If you feel like you throw away a lot of food, you're probably right--and you're not alone. We throw away nearly 31.6 million tons of food a year. That's like throwing away $600! To help cut down on food waste, you need how to store it, how long it should last, and what to eat first. We've compiled a guide to produce that will have you eating (not wasting) your precious produce... [ Read More...]
Shamanic Journeying & Sacred Medicine: Alchemy of the Soul by Dawn Dancing Otter
The first healing that we are historically aware of is Shamanism. Though it has gone by many different names, nearly every culture, the world over, has a version of Shamanic practice. Even considering its longevity and foundational presence in human life, this practice has remained relatively enigmatic until very recently.
Shamanic Sacred Medicine is all about returning to ourselves and healing our illusions of separateness. As we heal our fragmented consciousness, we expand compassion and... [ Read More...]
Your Brain Health and Aging
Have you ever forgotten a name or a fact and attributed it to age? Of course you have if you are human. The relationship between memory and aging plus the potential causes and risk reduction for Alzheimers is of paramount interest in our communities. We have the oldest population in British Columbia. Life expectancy in BC is the highest in the country – 70 years for men and 83 years for women.. [Read More...]

Rainbows are first timers on the earth journey, so for them, everything is new, they have an extreme amount of energy & will not wait for your time schedule in anything... [Read More..]
What is Classical Homeopathy? by Katharina Riedener, Osoyoos, BC & Red Deer, AB
Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine based on the practice of treating like with like. HOMEOPATHY is derived from the Greek word HOMOIOS, meaning like or similar and pathy which means suffering. Homeopathy is concerned with the treatment of you as an individual person with all your characteristics, preferences, as well as your personality and your feelings. The remedies will stimulate and encourage your body’s own healing energies... [ Read More...]

| Fresh Air Spaces |
Can't sleep, always sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, shortness of breath, these are some of the signs that you may have mould growing in your home or office. An underestimated source of illness in our communities is right inside our homes and workplaces.

Canadians typically spend close to 90% of their time indoors. |
