<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Wikipedia&#8217;s description&#8230; </strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>SUSTAINABLE LIVING</strong></span> is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual&#8217;s or society&#8217;s use of the Earth&#8217;s natural resources and his/her own resources. Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in manners that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity&#8217;s symbiotic relationship with the Earth&#8217;s natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development.</span> http:<strong>/</strong>/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_living</p>

<address style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://eclecticwellnesslifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Photo-639049-Sunflower-Sky-Behind-blog.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-1315" title="639049 Sunflower Sky Behind blog" src="http://eclecticwellnesslifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Photo-639049-Sunflower-Sky-Behind-blog-125x125.jpg" alt="639049 Sunflower Sky Behind blog" width="125" height="125" /></a><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong> </strong></span></address>
<address style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #006666;"><strong>Embracing Wholeness, Balance, Joy and A Prosperous Life</strong></span><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></address>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong> </strong></span></h4>
<h6 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong> </strong></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #007070;">Repatterning is an interactive system that is facilitated by a trained practitioner.  It allows you to create positive change in any area of your life where you experience limitation, struggle or imbalance.  It’s a process of transforming the patterns that manifest as your life challenges, such as: poor health, financial distress, unfulfilling relationships, lack of self confidence, blocked creativity, never having enough time, etc.  Once these non-coherent patterns are identified and shifted, positive outcomes are automatically experienced.  Your challenges truly give you an opportunity to move to a higher level of order, awareness and self-expression.  They simply let you know there are areas of discord that need to be updated to a higher frequency of resonance and coherence.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #007070;">Repatterning is based on a foundation of principles from new physics and psychology, as well as, ancient knowledge of the Chakra system of India and the Five Element Meridian system of China.  Repatterning supports us in opening to embrace life and having the courage to walk our true path.  Each session utilizes numerous modalities for creating coherence, such as: sound, light, movement, visualization, emotional release, energetic contact, breath and energy balancing tools.  This depends on what your system will be most responsive to at that time.  Sessions may include the use of pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and the BEMER technology (Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #007070;">Repatterning focuses on clarifying, clearing and shifting your body, mind and spirit into positive alignment with your goals, intentions and aspirations on all levels.  Repatterning happens at the level of the conscious and unconscious mind.  This is essential in order for deep shifts and profound healing to happen!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Infants, Children, Teens and Animals respond so well to these sessions!!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #00b700;"><strong>If you sense that a Repaterning may be right for you at this point in your life, you&#8217;re probably right!</strong></span></p>

Staying radiantly healthy and happy through the ups and downs of life requires commitment. And paying attention to all these important aspects of an Optimal Wellness Lifestyle.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e01b62;"><strong>It&#8217;s truly worth the effort for the abundant rewards that bless and elevate your life!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>The Foundation &#8211; Take care of your physical body first!</strong></span></p>
<p>1. <span style="color: #577400;"><strong>Basic, Good Nutrition:</strong></span> Eating a good diet full of organic fruits and vegetables, grains and easily assimilated protein is more essential than many people ever realize. As much raw as possible and a multitude of greens is so important!! Green foods are a huge key to being optimally nourished and they are a tremendous source of highly usable protein. Sprouts are another tremendous source of protein. Find a source for sunflower or other sprouts and add them to your diet abundantly. Good nutrition will greatly support your emotional wellbeing. This is a crucial, added benefit of consistently eating a pure, healthy diet that is rich in all the essential nutrients. Superfoods are absolutely necessary to achieve this!</p>
<p>2.<span style="color: #80ab00;"> </span><span style="color: #577400;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Superfoods/Cellular Prosperity:</span> </strong></span> Green Powders, Marine Phytoplankton, Blue-Green Algae, Medicinal Mushrooms, Goji Berries, Inca Berries, Cacao and Herbs are all excellent for high level nutrition and optimal cellular functioning. High levels of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and the most viable, absorbabe protein on this planet. If you&#8217;re not enjoying these products, you are really missing out!!</p>
<p>3.<span style="color: #800000;"><strong> Exercise:</strong></span> Do a combination of aerobic exercise and stretching at least 3 times per week. Yoga or stretching exercises will be phenomenal for your body, if done regularly. Dancing is great exercise combined with fun and interacting with partners. Dancing is an activity that can be continued throughout your lifetime. You may also want to consider strength building, your favorite fitness program or sports. The key is regularity and a variety of movement.</p>
<p>4. <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Bodywork/Treatments: </strong></span> You get a regular auto tune-up and oil change for your car, right? Well, your body needs that as well, in order to run properly. Have frequent massage, physical adjustments or other treatments. Once a week is ideal, or once a month, at the very least. There is no doubt that a really great practitioner who knows how to release tension and adjust the body is as good as Gold. Having this done on a consistent basis will make a huge difference in your overall wellbeing. Physical alignment and a finely tuned body is a huge factor in feeling fantastic.</p>
<p>5.<strong><span style="color: #bc9600;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #d6ab00;"><strong><span style="color: #bc9600;">Cleansing</span></strong>:</span> Adopt a program you like for cleaning out your system. Do 1-2 longer cleansing programs per year for at least a week to 10 days and a mini cleanse for 2-3 days, every other month, when you are not doing a deeper, longer cleanse. The digestive and elimination systems needs a break! Also, have colonics be a part of your regimen, once every 4 months would be great, or at the very least twice a year. Stay hydrated daily with plenty of pure, filtered water.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Next we need to consider our Emotional Wellbeing!</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>6<strong>. </strong><span style="color: #808000;"><strong>Relaxation/Stress Management:</strong> </span> There are many techniques and activities that will reduce your stress levels greatly. See my post on how to &#8220;Release Stress Quickly and Easily&#8221; on page 5 of this Blog. This is a very amazing and effective process that I have taught many people over the years. My clients have benefited greatly from using this approach often, as needed. It can be used as a very brief exercise in literally 3 minutes anywhere, anytime &#8211; or as a longer, more meditative approach. Just do it when stress levels are high! It truly makes a big difference and that&#8217;s what counts. Repatterning is an amazing system for shedding layers of old patterns, emotions and energy &#8211; and updating to who you are choosing to be in your life NOW. This is the best way I know of to detoxify on a deep emotional level and have impact on the unconscious level. So many imprints from past experiences are stored and still holding charged emotions at the unconscious level. You can transform unconscious patterns!! That&#8217;s definitely like getting a new lease on Life!</p>
<p>7. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #990099;">Financial Wellbeing: </span> </span></strong>Being free from unnecessary and excessive debt is very important for maintaining a relaxed, healthy body and peaceful mind. I don&#8217;t believe a true Wellness Lifestyle can exist without well managed and sufficient financial resources for taking very good care of yourself and your family. Back-up funds for special circumstances are a must for maintaining a stress-free body, mind and spirit. It can be very helpful to have great financial consultants guiding you. Consultants who are living examples of prosperity and financial wellbeing themselves can be great guides.</p>
<p>8. <span style="color: #7d2ec6;"><strong>Positive and Productive Relationships/Companionship:</strong></span> Happy, fulfilling relationships are an art form and some mastery is required. Relationships are the most important personal growth opportunities in our lives. Communication skills are typically learned, and don&#8217;t necessarily come automatically for most of us. Don&#8217;t make a habit of complaining, as this will definitely wear out any relationship. Take time to study the dynamics of all types of relationships. Learn the differences between men and women and how each think, express emotions, communicate and what&#8217;s most important to each of them. Do you ever stop and put yourself in the other person&#8217;s position when things are tense? How about a 5 year old boy, or an 8 year girl. A teenager? Have you forgotten what it was like to be in those challenging teen years driven by hormones and emotions, trying to find your way? Shift your perspective now and again and it will be quite enlightening and enhancing to your relationships. Do you offer some kind words when someone is having a challenging time? Do you compliment people consistently and express appreciation? Do you light up and share in the joy when someone around you is having a meaningful experience or doing what they enjoy? Do you take yourself too seriously? Depending on how you answered these questions, you may be noticing that you have some reflecting, opening and shifting to do. It will be well worth the effort, I assure you! Reading a book or two may be very helpful, especially if you put into practice what you are learning. This is definitely a very big subject!!</p>
<p>9. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Fun/Entertainment/Laughter: </strong></span>Commit to enjoying your life as fully as possible. Spend plenty of time doing the things that bring you the most joy. Be amused, entertained, curious and surprised. Give and receive abundantly! Have a good dose of adventure in your schedule frequently. The world will not fall apart if you take time to play and be free. In fact, ironically, you may find you have extra time and accomplish more than when you were obsessing over everything and mistreating yourself.<span style="color: #1f8282;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #1f8282;"><strong>Spirituality and Life Purpose &#8211; Inner Life is so hugely Important!!</strong></span></p>
<p>10. <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Spiritual Practice/Quiet, Inward Alone Time:</strong> </span> This is listed last, but is most definitely not of the least importance. For a Balanced, Healthy life you must have purpose and feel you are making a difference in some way. You must go inward and have contemplative time or you will likely start coming apart at the seams at some point. Adopt some philosophy that connects you to a higher vision of what your life is all about. Practice compassionate actions and random acts of kindness. Apply the powerful principle of Giving Back. Generosity is deeply rewarding. If you don&#8217;t find yourself feeling significantly rewarded by some of these meaningful actions, you may seriously need some support and re-prioritizing. And that&#8217;s OK, providing you get it. Find a great mentor, therapist, coach or counselor to guide you through some deep personal healing. Transformation just may be the true purpose and underlying objective of  this life.</p>
