Healing crystal jewelry offers a form of protection and a way to celebrate the body through healing crystals. For hundreds of years, it has played a vital role in connecting the human spirit and body and healing the mind, being, and soul. Ancient Indians used the stones to transform the wearer into a figure of beauty while reaching perfection internally and externally. Healing crystal jewelry still serves to bring beauty and attention to those who wear it, however in more recent years, it has been discovered that the crystals bear healing qualities that facilitate easier living. Specifically, healing crystal jewelry helps one to find his/herself, something difficult to achieve without assistance. Similarly, the treasures positively influence important decisions, protect against negativity, and generate good luck and fortune. The energies emitted from crystals can help improve your moods, your health and even your mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Working as a care coordinator is extremely rewarding, but it is also stressful. Plus, I am the only care coordinator for three clinics and each clinic has approximately 100+ clients. That's about 300+ clients that I am trying to help, give referrals to and enough care. By the end of the day, I am exhausted and just want to sleep. So, how do I take care of myself?

About 60% of the human body is filled with water.

The Center card this week is the 10 of Swords.

Growing up, I was a bit of a problematic kid. I couldn’t sit still, and my eyes would water as soon as I had to focus on anything. I couldn’t grasp things that other people in my class were able to grasp. I would get extra help from the “other” teachers and could never really handle it—I wanted to be anywhere but in that situation. By the time I was in grade 10, I had certain teachers full on insult me for my inability to grasp math. I felt like I was inadequate, and I hated being different. It wasn’t only until the past 10 years that I grasped the fact that I had learning disabilities that held me back in this way.

It's no doubt that running can give your life more benefits that can help you be healthier and live longer. If you are like me, running does not excite you. It can be a daunting and terrifying task. However, you can run longer, and you can run faster, you need to build up to it. The most simple and effective way to run longer and more quickly is to run in intervals. For me, it's sprinting for one minute and walking for one minute. I do this for an hour each day.

Living with chronic pain/illness makes daily life much more challenging. I have fibromyalgia (which means I hurt all over, and I’m tired all the time, and this really sucks), and have acquired—both before, and even more so after my diagnosis—things that help me function more like a human, and less like a bundle of burning nerves! Here are some of those things I have acquired, and some helpful tips to also help you become more human-like too.

I know what it feels like to be 25: still in peak physical condition, old enough to go anywhere or do anything and young enough to survive it. At first, it might sound like a depressing thought, realizing that it won't always be this easy. But with a little foresight and planning, you can set yourself up to feel (and look) young and healthy for as long as possible.

It sounds like either major clickbait or a serious overreaction, right? I mean, sure, stress kills many people slowly, but within half an hour?

Paulina says: give yourself plenty of permission.

I know from personal experience that finding the mattress that gives you the perfect night’s sleep can be a foreboding task. As I was searching for a new bed, I was intimidated by the prospect of choosing from hundreds of different mattresses. Each one promised to give me the best shut-eye I’ve ever had and I wasn’t sure what was actually going to make a difference in my sleep. Luckily, I heard about the The Lull Mattress, and ever since my sleep has been completely transformed. I wish I knew months ago that all it would take to overcome my sleepless nights was a new mattress. I hope that my journey to getting a full night of sleep inspires you to do the same.

There’s nothing better than crawling into bed at night and there’s no place in the world more comfortable than your own bed (especially in those moments just before you fall asleep). Unfortunately, those fleeting moments of comfort are not as universal as you’d think. According to Consumer Reports, 68 percent of Americans have trouble sleeping at least once a week and Americans spent $41 billion on sleep aids in 2015. From sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome to anxiety and stress, there are plenty of factors that can contribute to a lack of sleep. In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation, lost sleep can never be recovered. The easiest factor to fix? Your sleep environment.

Many say a nice smile can make you far more beautiful than the best makeup out there. Taking proper care of your teeth does not only improve your smile, but also helps our overall well-being.

If you want to do your teeth justice, here are a few dental habits you ought to acquire and maintain.

It’s Thanksgiving day. You are sitting at the dinner table with your family and enjoying all the delicious classics: turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, apple pie and whatnot. By the end of the evening, you are feeling more stuffed than the turkey you just ate. Does it feel good? Probably not.

If a piece of advice sounds cliché, it’s usually because there is some truth to it. Therefore, to many of you, the contents of this article might sound a bit cheesy from time to time, but there’s a huge difference between inherently "knowing" something, and seeing it written on paper or hearing it out loud.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in conjunction with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) urge Americans to help manage fall risks by learning why and how they happen.

I was asked a question recently that was very deep and thought-provoking. A friend asked me if I had to choose between an old age spent losing my physical abilities but keeping my mental faculties, or an old age spent losing my mental faculties and keeping my physical abilities—Which one would I choose? The question gave me pause because I normally do not focus a lot on my impending aging, but it’s natural to think of what life will be like once you are an elderly person. My friend did not hesitate to say that he would choose having his physical abilities intact since he is a very active person and enjoys running, hiking, and exercising at the gym.

Growing up, I had to learn to be singled out in certain things and be alright with it. Say, sports, for example. That was something I never knew I'd be awful at, but had to learn to accept that being picked last for the team would eventually become the norm someday. And, by accepting that, it could eventually be something I'd shrug off and laugh about in later years.

Getting a workout in always feels good and makes you want to keep going, but it's important to know how to properly recover from those tough workouts in order to stay healthy and keep your body in good shape without injury.

The Old Is New Again

Leading an active lifestyle is one of the preconditions of high-quality life, but what is also important is following a healthy, balanced diet that provides all the nutrients the body needs. For all those who are serious about devoting their time to fitness, it's clear that training is very important but it's the proper nutrition that is the key and that can sometimes be hard to achieve.

Winter is almost here, and you know how we don’t tend to take too much care of our looks during the colder months of the year. We usually eat more, drink lots of hot chocolate, go to the gym less... Maybe because it’s not warm outside and it is just perfect for resting in our bedroom, tucked in in our favorite fuzzy blanket, binge-watching all the good shows we can find. But doing all this also means we are not doing anything to keep fit, and we can regret it later when our body is not prepared for the summer. So, to later not feel bad about your appearance, let’s see how you can maintain your summer body over winter!

Okay, so when I set out about this particular topic, I had done quite a bit of research into plant based diets and how good they really are.

Many people struggle with emotional eating, and oftentimes, the food sources are less than healthy. While food is to be used as a fuel source for the body’s health, mindless eating in a response to an emotional need can simply make matters worse. The psychological health of your mind is just as dependent on the food you eat as the physical health of your body. When your mind is fighting depression or anxiety, your body’s response is both emotional and physical. Fatigue and a lack of energy are two of the body’s primary physical responses to mental health concerns.

There are millions of people in the world who fear the dentist, but this seven-year-old boy from India needs a reward for what he has gone through! A little boy from India began complaining of jaw pain and swelling in his mouth in July. Like most concerned parents do, they took their son to the dentist and what was found is absolutely insane.

Coffee has many good uses. There have been studies that have shown coffee plays a role in the prevention of cancer, diabetes, depression, cirrhosis of the liver, and gallstones, and it is also full of antioxidants and polyphenols.

For awhile, I have been contemplating on when would be the perfect time to start this writing series that I have been wanting to create for the longest, but it’s been hard lately trying to find the time while focusing on college and myself. Now that I’ve found the time, I absolutely had no idea how to start this series off until some amazing women gave me some ideas to start off my first story about myself and my fitness journey in order to relate better to individuals that are involved with fitness or want to start the journey of living a healthy lifestyle. So, here we go!

Going to the gym is insane, more so than one would think it is, and the working out aspect of it is the least of the worries. It is mainly now the look and feel of going to the gym. From going to the gym consistently for the past five years, there has been a huge change in the feel of it all. There have been positive changes in what the dynamics were before to where they are now, but there are also some negative things that have come about with all the trends and imaging that are being focused on.

Glasses or contacts, lens care is important as unclean lenses can lead to eye infection, any further vision problem or even blindness. Only hygiene will ensure your eyes stay healthy and you are able to see clearly. Not only glasses, even your contact lenses can be cleaned. It is easy but you need to be careful because incompatible cleaning products can hamper the lenses.

Sitting in my doctor’s office for what feels like the millionth time, I try to ignore the stares from the older women waiting with me. I can feel their eyes on me, probably wondering why a healthy looking young woman is on a first name basis with the secretary, why she’s there on a weekday morning, and what could possibly be wrong with her.

As the cold season approaches, many people with perfectly functioning immune systems only have to worry about how many layers they should wear when they leave the house. But, people with autoimmune disease have a hundred thoughts going through their mind—who was that who just coughed, is it too busy for me to go to that event, where’s my hand sanitiser?

The war against exhaustion is being waged in many households across the country. With people pulled in multiple directions—and attempting to balance work, home, and health—stress and anxiety continue to rise exponentially. People wake with little-to-no sleep day in and day out, and continue to wonder why they don’t have the energy or brainpower to get everything done on their list. If you find yourself in this type of pattern, you may want to start by changing your habits to get more sleep. Look at some of these tips and tricks, to help get a more restful night.

Wintertime is coming faster than we’d like to admit, which means that snow, ice and overall terrible weather are coming. If you have the luxury of being able to escape the wrath of Mother Nature and can travel to a warmer climate for the winter, all the better. Who wants to be in charge of shoveling snow, and bundling up to go outside? If you’re going to be spending your winter someplace other than home, make sure that your body is ready.

When a body part is completely or partially cut off, quick first aid action should be administered to help ensure the best possible repair. Time is of the essence with any accidental amputation, and although reattachment can be done up to 24 hours after amputation, it has the best chance of being successful if done within four to six hours after the incident.

Every #WorldDiabetesDay, I blog about #diabetes, as one does. Generally speaking, I make some mention of the kid—really, now a manchild of nearly 16 years—who I affectionately dub as my "diabetes warrior buddy." This young man so impresses me that if one were to ask who I look up to, I'd mention his name. He's never let this autoimmune condition—in his case, he has Type 1 diabetes—slow him down, not even once, and he's done more in his 15-and-three-quarters years on the planet than many have done in their lifetimes. In spite of having to strictly monitor his blood sugar levels, prick his fingers several times a day, live with an insulin pump and monitor in his arm, and occasionally wake up disoriented and confused because his blood sugar levels are too low, he still approaches everything with his typical broad smile and positive attitude.

It seems to be an unspoken rule, especially here in the south, that when someone asks you how you’re doing, you’re supposed to say the phrase “I’m fine.” For many years, this has become almost second nature and slips from my mouth before I even realize what I’m saying. And I’ve come to hate it.

I am never in the habit of knocking before entering an exam room. It is a byproduct of a day stacked on end and nearly falling over in an avalanche. I only realized after 14 years how intrusive I am.

Nature sounds can be a great way to relax after having a tough day, either at work, school, or in your personal life. They also make a calming atmosphere if you play them in the background, while working, studying, or meditating. Before the wonderful world of the internet, people had to go out into the wild to experience the nature sounds, but now you can do it from the comfort of your own home, either by listening on YouTube, sites like Spotify and SoundCloud, or Nature Sounds TV. In this article, we take a look at the 10 most searched for nature sounds, according to Google

Why should you meditate? I feel like the people around me frequently ask why I meditate and what it even does, or they ask how they can get into it. Meditating at first can feel intimidating. There are also multiple types of meditation and it may take a few tries to figure out what resonates with you at this point in your life.

What's up New Age Thinkers! It has been a while since I've posted. Just to give you an update on my life, I finally graduated from my university, with two degrees, I was able to find a position in my field and now I'm establishing my self in my mundane career.

Welp, it's official. I'm on the spectrum. Apparently not everyone takes this information well... but I am really happy because this explains a lot. I don't want to be sorry anymore. I don't want to have to apologize to my sister anymore for being socially awkward. I don't want to be sorry to my parents because I don't have a 9-5 job. I don't want to be sorry that I don't like to go shopping with other people. Most of all, I am so sick of feeling bad for being different. It's not my fault that some people are intolerant to neuro-differences. It's true, I wasn't the cool kid in school... but I like to tell myself that's because I was cooler than average. I mean, whats the harm in decent self-esteem. Right?

Yoga is one of the most natural and rejuvenating practices that is flourishing all around the globe. Several successful people, including celebrities, emphasize the incorporation of yoga in their daily lives. There are various asanas available to keep your body and mind healthy. However, did you know that you could potentially fix your eyesight problems with the help of yoga? Removing glasses with exercises is possible. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is true!

Holy smokes, hot yoga is something else. Now, I may be a bit dramatic, but I nearly died—or pass out, but hey, I'm dramatic. I actually enjoyed it though, after my body got used to feeling like it was on fire..

On a hard day, all you want to do is sit back and relax! After a busy Monday or an overly hectic Wednesday, you keep waiting for a Friday, we get it. Is it just me or do you also feel like you need to go for a good massage because desk jobs can be challenging to your body? If you are a lazy personality who can live on a chair, then whatever I just said doesn't mean anything to you. Anyway, if we talk about work, we must also talk about the side effects of it, that is—‘body pains' because of the change in body postures or compulsively formal body language.
