Speak up.  Say what you really want to say for once.  Not just what you think people want to hear.  See how good it feels to open that gate in your head?  Get mouthy and let the world hear it.  They might just pay attention.

Long held emotion causes physical problems.  Emotions are a reaction to the thoughts that we think, over and over.  See how all our bodies are connected?  The emotion that can unleash the biggest change in your health is forgiveness.  If you have a particularly stubborn health issue, there is some more forgiveness work to be done.  Maybe it's yourself, maybe you need to forgive someone else.  Remember that all healing comes from God, so don't leave him out of this healing process. 

"A happy heart is good medicine," said King Solomon, "and a cheerful mind works healing" (proverbs 17:22).  Laughter stimulates circulation, produces a sense of well being, exercises the face and stomach muscles, stimulates the production of endorphins and provides more oxygen to the brain.  Besides, it's fun!  One study revealed that the healing power of humor can reduce pain and stimulate the immune function in children who have cancer, AIDS, or diabetes and in children receiving organ transplants and bone marrow treatment.

Laughter is to the soal what soap is to the body.  Researchers suggest that we need a minimum of twelve laughs a day just to stay healthy.  It can affect our brain chemistry and immune system in very postivive ways.  Our ability to laugh is helpful when coping with major illness and the stress of life's problems.  But researchers are now saying laughter can help do a lot more - it can basically bring balance to all the components of the immune system, which helps us to fight off diseases.

Sometimes, when we have had a really emotional day, we reach for comfort food.  Here is a recipe to one of my all time favorite comfort foods.

 

Creamy Root Vegetable Bake

 

4 Potatoes

 

3 Carrots

 

1 Onion

 

1 Bunch Kale (or several leafs)

 

1/2 Cup Macademia Nuts

 

Salt and Pepper to Taste

 

Thinly slice the potato, carrot and onion.  Rip bite site pieces of kale and layer all the vegetables in a casserole dish.  Alternate layers.  Put nuts in the blender and blend until they make a fine powder.  Add one cup water and blend for a few more seconds.  This makes a nice "creamy" sauce.  Pour over the layered vegetables.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Yum!
