Hello ,
Happy 4th of July!
Mid summer, growing up in the midwest the sentiment was about corn, knee high by the 4th of July.
In Southwestern Colorado, it typically marks the wildflowers in bloom in the high country and the monsoon season. The rain we had last week was glorious!
For me this time of year, I have been reflecting on Freedom of thought and action. Noticing my thoughts and how they define my actions AND how I have the agency to change my mind at any given point. AND more importantly whether I am aware of my thoughts or not they are creating my reality. Check out the Gupta exercise below and play with this idea. We will be practicing this at upcoming Group Visits.
This holiday, midsummer season I am reminded of the power of kindness and how a simple random act can ripple.......
With EASE,
~ Lynn 🌈
Invitation......
Random acts of kindness, meet Norm.

Does the timing of your meals matter? A recent study of 2050 participants found that eating the largest meal at dinner increased the risk for obesity and led to higher body mass index. Eating lunch as the largest meal was protective against obesity.
Just remember: every organ, system, and function in your body follows a circadian (24-hour) cycle—including your energy metabolism. Maybe it’s time we start to align our eating patterns to our body’s natural rhythms.

💡Pro Health Tip |
|
Healthy blood sugar regulation helps to optimize your energy, mood, focus, and sleep.
Blood sugar can spike when eating carbohydrate-rich foods, but when you pair them with foods containing healthy fats, fiber, protein, or vinegar, the impact becomes less. Like this:
🍇 Grapes & Cheese
🥕 Carrots & Hummus
🍏 Apples & Almond Butter
🍅 Tomatoes & Olive Oil & Vinegar
Just remember: when it comes to blood sugar regulation, each person is unique. It’s always best to test and to work with a practitioner on a plan that’s specific to you.

🔍 Did You Know? |

It’s a MYTH that only people with diabetes need to care about blood sugar.
Early changes in blood sugar regulation are driven by insulin resistance, which means that cells become less responsive to insulin.
This most often happens because of a repeated pattern of eating an excess of sugar or refined carbohydrates without healthy fats, fiber, and protein.
Insulin resistance can lead to diabetes if left unchecked but can occur years before a diagnosis.
I’l be sharing more myths and facts as well as an entire series on optimizing blood sugar regulation this month on Instagram. Join me there! |

Last Tuesday's Group Visit Recording
|
 |
|
At ISH Group Visit we begin with an exercise to settle your nervous system, center ourselves and refocus our energies to the present moment. Last week we practiced Ashok Gupta's brain retraining exercise. This is part of his limbic system program, learn more about his program HERE. I often recommend a limbic system program as an integral part of healing. If you are curious to learn more about the limbic system check out ISH Learning ISH presentation HERE
Try the following exercise we will be working with this during the next few group visits to practice and play with this process.
Stand and follow along by moving your body along the path of the below picture. This exercise incorporates noticing and shifting brain patterns through visualization and movement
-
Stand at STEP 1 (below picture)
-
Think of a symptom or thought pattern that you have had today or have in real time. This can be anything that is triggering fear, worry or an unsettled feeling in your body.
-
While standing at step 1 think of something that is causing worry. Visualize a STOP 🛑 sign and say STOP STOP STOP it even helps to put your hand out while you say it 🛑 ✋
-
Take a deep breath 🫁 and step back to STEP 2.
-
As you breath out release the worry you feel. Leaving it at STEP 1. Dis-identifying with the feeling/sensation.
-
Close your eyes and feel peace and acceptance. Settle.
-
Step on to STEP 3, turn your body 180 degrees.
-
Face STEP 1 position, close your eyes and imaging seeing your worried self floating over step 1 and say "thank you for warning me but you can relax and let go".
-
Gently give that worried part of you love and visualize a hug.
-
Now turn to the yellow circle and visualize yourself doing the retraining and give that part of yourself a motivational speech such as "you are doing this" , "you are on your way to health and happiness" "keep going!" "you have tools to support you"
-
Step back onto the yellow circle.
-
Notice the 2 choice pathways.
-
Choose a new pathway and step to STEP 4 actively stepping and choosing (Joy, health, happiness, presence) this is personal to you.
-
STEP 5 Solidify your choice as you move forward with your decision
-
STEP 6 Continuing to visualize your health and happiness (it can be helpful to choose a color associated with this feeling and visualize the color as you move forward)
-
STEP 7 Re-Engage and Distract.
-
Feel deeply this new choice sensation, re engaging with JOY
-
Step into something completely different (DISTRACT). Letting the process go. Do not think about "if it worked" or "how you feel". Trust that this process is one (7) steps to learning new pathways. Trust that our brains and neurology learn this way. In this exercise you are re-patterning with intention.
I invite your to play around with this process, personalizing this to YOU. Once learned you can move through this quickly and practice throughout your day as symptoms or patterns of thought arise.
