Discover The Natural Healing Gift of Negative Ions

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

wave1To date, I haven’t met anyone that has told me they can see them, taste them or smell negative ions. Yet, in nature, they are there all around us.

Visit the ocean and you are in the company of negative ions. Visit the mountains, splash around in a stream, or take a walk in the woods and you’ll be breathing in negative ions.

How do you know when you are in the presence of negative ions? You feel better. You relax and you feel more at ease with yourself and with life. That’s because negative ions increase the levels of serotonin in your body. Serotonin affects your moods, and you may find it lifting stress and even, depression. Some people become energized in the presence of negative ions.

Consider this excerpt about negative ions from The Root of All Healing:

“… quite a bit of medical research has been done demonstrating that negative
ions help us simultaneously relax, reduce stress and energize us. Ecstatic, Ltd. in the United Kingdom commissioned a review of literature on the effects of air ions and concluded: ‘The consensus of the literature reviewed is that environmental air ion concentration levels and balance can affect a wide range of biological organisms, including humans. Elevated negative air ion levels are widely reported to have beneficial effects on humans including enhanced feeling of relaxation, and reduced tiredness, stress levels, irritability, depression, and tenseness.’”

If you are having difficulty sleeping, concentrating, feeling energized, relaxing, enjoying life, and opening up to your greatest healing—one of the simplest, sweetest ways to enhance your healing is to spend more time with Mother Earth.

I recommend getting out in nature every day. That’s right. Every day. That’s how beneficial nature is in the healing journey. It is one of the most over-looked prescriptions for healing, and it can be among the most powerful.

Nature slows down those hurried paces we think we have to keep up. Those rushed speeds and stressful lives are contributing to our discomfort and preventing us from relaxing enough for healing to occur.

As I share in my book, “You don’t get to physical health, inner peace or joy through stress and tension.” In order to heal you have to slow down and getting out there in those negative ions is one of the best ways to relax and discover a greater natural source for balanced energy.

You can read more about the benefits of spending time in nature in my book, The Root of All Healing: 7 Steps to Healing Anything— http://misahopkins.com/therootofallhealing/

Reversing “Incurable” Chronic Conditions

Monday, April 5th, 2010

1233If you have an “incurable” chronic condition, you may be asking yourself if there is any possibility that incurable conditions can be reversed. The answer is, “Yes.”

Just because modern allopathic medicine may not have a cure for your chronic condition, doesn’t mean that healing isn’t possible. The journey of self-healing is about discovering the power and the path within you.

If you have read my book, “The Root of All Healing,” you know that when I was faced with MS, I decided I was not going to live with that chronic condition forever. I decided I was not going to lose muscle strength, cognitive abilities, speech, vision, sex drive, or end up in a wheel chair.

I didn’t even become fearful that I might. I simply did not allow myself to spend any time with doubts that tried to creep in. I decided immediately that this was going to be a challenge worth every ounce of my self-healing attention and I went to work.

On the blog here, you’ve probably listened to the audio story about my friend Kevin, who lost actual muscle tissue, yet still rebuilt his knee until he was able to walk normally. Remember, he was told might end up in a wheel chair.

Colds and flu are supposed to be incurable. We are told we just need to ride them out, and yet I have turned both colds and flu around—stopping them in their tracks with sound and intention. I have friends that do the same with their own energy medicine.

How about you? Do you know someone that had an incurable health challenge, yet somehow healed? Have you heard about someone that overcame seemingly overwhelming odds?

For some of us, and maybe for you, overwhelming odds are motivating. Here is the opportunity. “No-known cure” means that it is time to find one—inside of you!

Think of it this way. You don’t have a small hill to climb. For whatever reasons, you have a mountain. But there you are, standing at the base of the mountain looking up. You could walk away and live with the condition. Or you can discover the equipment and tools you already have (inside of you), learn how to use them, find your inner strength and head up the mountain.

You can stay at the bottom of the mountain or climb it. The choice is yours to make. And it helps to know that it IS a choice. Here is the good news. You are passionately loved regardless of what you choose. You can’t fail or make a wrong choice. It is your life. If you have a chronic condition, life is going to be difficult whether you engage your healing power or your don’t. You get to choose how you want to be with the challenge.

Regardless of what you choose, I would offer this for your consideration. When the odds seem overwhelming, open to the abundant, unconditional love that is available to you. Then, whatever you choose, accepting this love will open up reserves of inner strength you may not have realized you have.

Once, when I was feeling quite stuck and meditating with the essence of my stuckness, a wise message came to me. “Open to the marvelous reality waiting for you on the other side of the stuckness.”

I did. And the stuckness vanished. The overwhelming odds disappeared. Soon, I was simply moving forward, grateful for each and every gift that came to help me. The really cool part is that it suddenly was profoundly easy!

I got so used to welcoming in this wonderful reality, I don’t even remember anymore what I was feeling so stuck about! But I can tell you at the time, my sense of overwhelm and doubt consumed me.

May I suggest that you welcome in the wonderful reality waiting for you on the other side of your health challenge. Welcome it in like you would welcome your most dear friend or loved one. If in that welcoming, you feel your healing beckoning you, surrender to the wonder of being at the top of the mountain. Then take one step and another, every day.

When the thought passes through your mind that this condition is incurable and non-reversible, just giggle because you now know a little secret about self-healing. There is something waiting for you to discover, beyond the word “incurable.”

Holidays, Family Dynamics, and Self-Healing

Monday, December 21st, 2009

poinsettaDuring this holiday season, if you spend more time with your family, you may find your buttons getting pushed. Here is the thing about healing.

Those buttons—those are the very places where you store pent up feelings and ignore unmet core needs that lead to or contribute to illnesses. This holiday could provide a significant opportunity to do some fundamental healing that will allow your mind and body to find greater healing.

Families are where our deepest unmet needs rise to the surface. Those unmet needs unconsciously drive us, and illness, believe it or not, is one way in which we get those needs met.

When you are with family, you may find those unconscious needs becoming very apparent to you. As they do, you are in a better position to identify them and bring your hidden motivators to conscious awareness, where you can meet them in more positive ways.

I remember returning home during the holidays with the hope that my mother might actually be more interested in what I was doing or that my dad would take more notice of my opinions about things. I wanted family dynamics to be different than they were, and so holidays were often a source of great disappointment.

It took a while for me to figure out that my family was just being my family. I was changing and if I was truly growing spiritually, then I needed to be willing to hold the space for them that I was seeking for myself.

In other words, if I wanted to my mother to become more interested in me, then I needed to start a new cycle of interaction by becoming more interested in her. If I wanted my father to listen to my opinions, it meant asking more questions about his views.

Over time, my family might or might not extend the same interest in me, but regardless, I would be bringing healing into our family dynamic. Surely, if I was feeling unrecognized, unheard, or misunderstood, there was a high probability the other family members were feeling the same thing, since such unmet core needs can be (and were in my case) passed down from generation to generation.

I knew that in time, my unmet, core needs would get met—through my family members or someone else. With my family I had the opportunity to recognize the universality of those needs and simply become a healing agent within our family dynamics. I became the compassionate, healing balm we all needed.

Oh sure, I argued with myself that it should be coming from my parents first, not me. After all, they were the parents. But the reality was that I had come to understand the importance of healing core needs in order to heal physically and emotionally. My parents hadn’t come to that realization yet. So who should initiate the change? The one who knows!

In choosing to consciously become that healing agent—listening, caring, asking questions, and being concerned for another—I eventually attracted that energy into my life from friends, and to my surprise, at times from my parents and siblings.

It is amazing how much pain and tension in my body was a direct reflection of those unmet needs, and how quickly illness began healing as I created the space in which those needs could become met.

Perhaps during this holiday season, your family will be the recipient of your healing balm. Perhaps you will feel the call to be the one to bring to your family what each one of them needs most—for their healing and yours.

True and Lasting Healing Is Within Your Reach

Monday, November 30th, 2009

rohbookcover2I woke up one morning with these words on the tip of my tongue, “The Root of All Healing.” What the heck is that, I wondered?


It happened two more days in a row. I knew it had to be something significant, but I had no clue what that might be.


Hoping to get some insight I called a couple of my colleagues, asking if they had any ideas for a tele-seminar we might do using this title. Well, they were busy or they thought the title was great but not theirs to address.


I knew I needed to do with this little gift, so I sat down to my computer and typed the title. I sat back and said to myself, “Don’t think, just type and let it come.” The next thing I knew I was typing the following, “7 Steps to Healing Anything.”


I reeled back and said out loud, “I know 7 steps to healing anything?”

It sounded so presumptuous and yet I couldn’t deny that something beyond my day-to-day thinking wanted to come through. I reminded myself that if I was willing to allow the Divine to flow through me, healing wisdom would find its way into words.


And the words came in the form of many years worth of observation—attending to what I had learned about how people heal. Coming from a background in special education, organizational development and acting, I had unconsciously been observing the motivators that caused people to remain ill or to  heal.


I had become a student of miracles, without even realizing it, until I began putting my observations down on paper.


My great discovery was that miracles are created by what is inside of us. I had come to realize that many of us remain ill because a need is getting met through that illness, that we aren’t even aware exists. Simply put, we are unconsciously motivated to be sick.


There is a way out, and the 7 steps that finally made their way into a book, show you how to unlock the miracles inside of you.


On Tuesday, December 1, my book is having its birthday party. I’m formally announcing that it is available for you and those you love.


Read it and discover your birth-right, the inner power that sustains you in being fully and completely well.


If you, or your loved ones, aren’t yet receiving Inspired Healing Messages from me, I suggest you get on my mailing list, where you will receive regular insights about what you need to do to heal. Plus you will receive an announcement about the book’s availability, along with an opportunity to win a Healing Reading with me and gifts from over 25 healers and life-changers.


The only way you get all of the gifts and the chance to win the reading is if you are on my mailing list, so sign up now.

Take the Time

Monday, November 16th, 2009

canoeMy sister-in-law recently crossed over to the other side of the veil and I traveled home for her memorial service. I noticed during this trip, as I have when other family members have died, that when someone I care about crosses over to the other side, I can’t help but slow down my life and reflect about what is really, really important to me.

When I was in my worst pain and discomfort, I discovered exactly the same thing. I needed to slow down enough to reflect on what was truly important to me and let the rest go, because quite frankly, the “rest” was either making me sick or contributing to it.

While I was visiting friends back home, a woman I know that just had major surgery said exactly the same thing. Before she had her surgery, she ended the contract work she was doing that was draining her energy. She just didn’t want to do work that didn’t fulfill her anymore. She knew that she needed to focus on healing and then make some decisions about work that would feed her spiritually as well as physically.

It is so easy to stick with work just because it pays the bills, even though it is not truly our work to do. You can identify that kind of work because you go to work and come home from it more exhausted than energized.

It is so much easier to maintain status quo than it is to make peace with friends and family, find time to meditate, or enjoy time with others. It is easier to stay in relationships that are familiar, but aren’t working for you because it is scarier to heal or leave them. It is easier to repeat non-productive patterns than it is to make change, yet those very patterns may be shortening your life.

Yet, how are you supposed to stay healthy, when your energy is drained and you are stressed?

Once again, I find myself committing to paying attention to what is truly important in my life and making whatever changes I need to make sure that what I do fulfills me. Fulfillment is a powerful way to enjoy life more and put energy into my health.

How about you? If you made the time to get really still and clear, what is truly important in your life?

Remember to Breathe!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

falltreesDid you know that Nobel Price Winner Otto Warburg demonstrated that cancer cells live in low oxygen environments? Here is what he said about oxygen and cancer:

“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.” — Dr. Otto H. Warburg in Lecture

Simply put, as he decreased oxygen in cells, they became cancerous.

Okay, I’m no cancer expert. However, I know my body and  I know I feel better when I’m breathing. I’ll catch myself contemplating some problem to solve, only to discover I have stopped breathing? Have you ever done that? You are feeling some pressure and so you just stop breathing?

Having taught sound medicine for years, I know most of us breath very shallowly. We are unaccustomed to really filling our lungs. Most of us don’t even realize our lungs go all the way up to your shoulders and all the way down to your solar plexus. We can and need to breathe into the back and sides of our lungs, as much as we do the front.

When breathing shallowly our heart and lungs have to work harder because you have to breathe more rapidly in order to get enough oxygen to your body. Plus you probably aren’t getting as much of the carbon dioxide out of your body, which means you may have too much carbon dioxide in your blood.

Breathe deeply and your heart slows down, you take in plenty of life-giving oxygen, you exhale enough of carbon dioxide—helping you maintain a better acid/alkaline balance for optimum health.

Doesn’t it feel great when you can get outside once or twice a day and just breathe? We live in a dynamic and wonderful symbiotic relationship with the trees and plants around us. They exhale oxygen and we breathe it in. We exhale carbon dioxide and they breathe it in.

So when you catch yourself not breathing or breathing shallowly, remind yourself to breathe and drink in that precious life-sustaining gift from the trees—oxygen!

In Order to Accelerate Your Healing, You Have to Slow Down

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

treeI know “to accelerate your healing, you have to slow down,” sounds like an oxymoron, but it is true. When we are busy, running around, uptight, and stressed, we actually slow down our healing process. The body simply must be in a relaxed state for deep and lasting healing to occur.

Black Elk, a powerful Sioux medicine man, is known to have given a mattress to someone seeking his help in healing, then tell them to begin by spending several days resting and sleeping under a tree. He understood the importance of re-establishing natural rhythms before beginning healing work.

Natural rhythms are slower than our usual, hurried pace, and are more conducive to natural healing methodologies.

Elderly woman grew a new valve to her heart

Friday, July 31st, 2009

redblossomBy Misa

I promised you notice about a tele-class on self-healing, and I’m hustling to get it ready for you. In the mean time, enjoy discovering yet more hope in this incredible story of healing by an elderly woman, and now—friend.

Early in my sound medicine career, I had an experience with a woman in her seventies, who had never worked with energy medicine, but her results set the standard for me in regard to what our healing potential truly can be. For the protection of her privacy, I call her Ellie in this story.

Several years ago, I was asked to assist an elderly woman that needed to strengthen her heart in preparation for surgery. One of this woman’s heart valves was not functioning well, making her heart too weak for surgery on an aneurism.

Her daughter flew me out to their home where we spent one week together working toward the simple goal of strengthening her heart. Ellie had a remarkable ability to visualize that she discovered in the process of working with me. Because she was new to energy healing, I gently guided her and supported her in trusting her visualizations.

Our regular routine was for Ellie to lie down on the couch and allow her mind to bring her a visual image of health while I sang sacred healing sounds to her. Then, before she fell asleep, she would again affirm that she had a strong heart.

I parted company at the end of the week and patiently waited to hear the results from Ellie’s next chest x-ray. The following week, the x-ray showed some remarkable results. This 70-some year old client had grown an entirely new heart valve and had been determined ready for surgery!
