This past weekend I had the honor and privilege to teach an Intro to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I am so happy that we recorded it because it was chock full of incredibly helpful information for anyone committed to a healthy life. If you'd like to take the online version, it is now available here. In the class we discussed the 5 Element theory of healing in depth, and since it is spring, I wanted to share with you some information that you may find valuable at this time. During spring the most active element is Wood which affects the liver and gallbladder. The color associated is green, so if you notice that color present on the face, tongue, or in the Shen (aura), it may point to a disharmony of the liver/gallbladder. The climate associated is Wind, which is the factor that most often will injure the organ. People who are overly sensitive to fans blowing on them may have a liver/gallbladder disharmony. Along with each organ is a portal to the outside, which is identified by a sense organ. The Liver, as seen in the chart, is responsible for the health of the eyes. Problems in the sense organs will often reflect disharmony to their corresponding internal organs. The tissues are nourished by their corresponding organs and will again reflect disharmony in that organ. When the sinews (ligaments, tendons, and fascia) are weak it is considered a Liver deficiency. The emotion of the Wood element is anger. Too much anger (especially unacknowledged) injures the liver. The corresponding sound is shouting. The taste also reflects its organ, and in craving a taste may suggest an imbalance. The taste for Wood is sour. Conversely moderate amounts of sour things are actually good for the liver. If you would like to learn more I highly suggest the Intro to Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the class you will also have an opportunity to learn about your Chinese Constitution, and what herbal supplements will help bring your body back into harmony.

I saw this picture the other day on Nature's Sunshine's Facebook page and just had to share it! It is a great reminder of why dieting doesn't always work when it comes to weight management, and why cleansing does. My favorite cleanse is the Clean Start, which you can take once a day for 28 days, or twice a day for 14 days. If you feel a little nervous about cleansing, then I would suggest you start with the Tiao He Cleanse, which is a formulation of Chinese herbs that are designed to bring the body back to harmony. This year I am joining a friend for a 21 Day Fresh Start. It uses whole foods to detox the body, and I must admit I am SUPER excited about it! Not only do the recipes sound fabulous, but I know my body really needs a good spring cleaning, and this looks like an incredibly healthy way to do that while integrating some healthy new eating habits. If you'd like to join us, let me know! Or if you'd rather do an herbal cleanse, then order now. But please, do something. Your health is worth it! With love & light, Keli Ackroyd www.KelisHealthBiz.com There is a whole dimension to detoxing beyond detox supplements, fasting diets and colon cleansing. I am a huge fan of the detox foot bath as it is a physical representation of your own toxicity. Being a visual person and also passionate about natural health and wellness, I am still fascinated by the detox food bath and love seeing the minute particles of lead, lymph and yeast exit my own body. So this week it is the focus for my Deal of the Week. If you are unfamiliar with detox foot baths- they are an interesting and pain free way to detoxify your entire system. They work on the premise that both negative and positive ionic charges help to rid the body of toxic waste. Ionic Detox foot baths work by sending a small current that goes in a circuit through the body and generates positively charged ions. The high concentration of the ion field attaches to the negatively charged toxins neutralizing them and the body is then able to discard them through the approximate 2000 pores that are on the bottom of your feet. You can then experience the correct acid-alkaline ph balance as nature intended. It's painless and takes about 30 minutes. Even children ages 4 and up can safely use it under supervision. People who should not use this foot bath are people with pace makers or who have organ transplants or expectant or nursing mothers. Detox foot baths are extremely beneficial for the following 7 reasons: 1) Enhancing the immune system 2) Assist in recovery time from injuries and surgery 3) Can relieve pain and joint stiffness due to arthritis 4) Improves sleep pattern 5) Remove heavy metals 6) Removes blood clot material 7) Improve liver and kidney function Probably the most fascinating aspect of this detox is that during the use of an ionic foot bath the color of the water changes. Literally, you witness the various toxins exiting your body. The various colors can tell you what area the body may be detoxing. If you would like to experience for yourself an Ion Foot Detox Bath, I invite you to make an appointment. And if you love the idea of taking your detoxification program to the next level, then be sure to purchase a package and save up to $100.

You feel terrible...achy, feverish, chills, exhausted. All you want to do is lay down and die because that seems like the only thing that will make it stop. But there is hope... Imagine lying on a nice comfy massage table, with peaceful music playing in the background. Someone gentle "drops" a combination of healing essential oils down your spine, lightly massaging them in, then covers you with warm moist towels, and leaves you to rest for 30 minutes. You doze peacefully while the oils go to work, and a few minutes later you are unwrapped, and sent home to rest for the remainder of the day. The next day you wake up and a miracle has occurred! You are better!!! The wonderful thing about Raindrop Therapy is that the essential oils do all the work of bringing your body back to balance. They work physically because of their antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. They work emotionally by bringing you back to a peaceful state which is the body's natural healing state. "I still felt pretty lousy this morning, but I went and had a Rain Drop Therapy session (powerful essential oils dropped along the spine and massaged in- amazing reboot for the immune system) by my dear friend Keli Ackroyd (a beautiful therapist and healer) and I'm feeling better tonight. <3" ~K.L. If you or anyone you know has the cold/flu that has been going around, please let them know there is no need to suffer! Have them set an appointment and get in right away!

You never know who you will be blessing with it. Thanks! Many years ago, I sat down in a classroom with several other nervous students for Reiki I and II. Little did I know that my life was about to change forever. I had already experienced several Reiki sessions and had miraculously healed my neck from "irreversible damage" from a car accident. My favorite part of the sessions though was the pure unadulterated peace I experienced while on the table. That feeling of floating, enveloped by love and light, the oneness with all that is...I had found my heaven, and now was going to learn how to maintain that state for myself, and share it with others. The class was the most spiritual experience of my life. The attunements were sacred processes in which I could truly feel the presence of God. I learned how to open myself up to be a vehicle for God to work through, and in the process experienced a profound healing myself. By the end of our class I was ready to go out in the world and help others heal themselves with Reiki. Many years and many clients later, my teacher called to tell me it was time for me to do my final attunements as a Reiki Master, as she was getting ready to retire soon. I realized that I was finally ready also as Reiki had mastered my life, and I was ready to lift others on their spiritual path. If you or anyone you know is ready to take on their spiritual path in a beautiful healing way, please join us on September 13 & 14 for the Reiki I & II Certification. Space is limited, so reserve your seat now. With love & light, Keli Ackroyd www.KeliAckroyd.com PS-- Florida Massage Therapists will earn 12 CEUs for Reiki I & II. PPS-- If you have already taken the class and would like to join us for a "tune up", it is half price. Documentation is required. :-) This short video will take you through a simple process that will open up your neck and bring you relief from pain and stiffness.
The technique I use marries two of my favorite healing modalities: massage and yoga. The two are actually quite similar. Massage brings relief to the body from the outside in, and yoga brings relief to the body from the inside out. When you add BOTH to your healthcare regimen, you will be amazed at how quickly the body will heal itself. Physically the neck includes the cervical vertebrae, muscles, ligaments, and tendons which can play a part in neck pain. But did you know that emotionally it can represent a fear of communicating your truth? The throat chakra represents how balanced we are in giving our love to others (right side) and receiving love from others (left side). It can also be where we hold judgments of the past against ourselves and others (back of neck). The mantra that will support you in healing this area is: "I express my love & joy freely and authentically." If you find this information to be helpful, please like, share and pin it!

"They say a twinkle in the eye is a sign of a lively personality and that the eyes are the windows to the soul. An iridologist would frame these sayings in a slightly different way, perhaps saying that the eyes tell a narrative of your past and future health. And that keeping that twinkle in the eye will keep your body lively too! Iridologists look at the patterns, colours and other characteristics of the iris (the coloured part of the eye) to determine information about a patient's health. They will note markings and colours of the iris and compare these to charts which divide the iris into zones that correspond to specific organs in the body. Deviations from these charts are believed to indicate potential health issues. How You Can Expect to Benefit from Iridology: Rather than a treatment, iridology is a way of detecting signs of developing illness or disease. An iridologist will let you know about your overall health as well as whether you are moving towards illness. An iridologist may diagnose an issue long before clinical symptoms appear. It is this recognition of the potential for health issues at their earliest stage – before they become problems –- that is one of the main benefits of iridology. This allows you to take action early and make lifestyle changes to ensure you stay healthy. Prevention definitely is the best medicine. Consulting an iridologist will help you determine:
using a small flashlight and magnifying glass, and may also take a photograph of your eyes. The consultation is simple, painless and non-intrusive. Your iridologist will most likely not diagnose a specific disease, rather will let you know about any risk factors, allowing you to look at the health of your body with a clear eye."

With love & light, Keli Ackroyd www.KeliAckroyd.com "The eyes are the windows to the soul" You may look at this picture and see an eye. I look at this eye and see the whole picture of her health. Physically I see an underlying toxicity issue. Emotionally I see someone who is holding on to fear. Mentally I see someone who is stressed. And spiritually this person feels completely lost and alone. What are your eyes trying to tell you??? #iridology #naturalhealth #theeyeshaveit |
