Air
We may not be able to control our external environment, but we can control air quality in our homes and cars. From furniture to bedding, certain materials and products minimize invisible pollutants and ensure we inhale as much fresh air as possible.
Water
The beverage that has the greatest positive outcome on health is water. Water quality and quantity both play a key role in effectively hydrating us, while nourishing the earth.
Food
The body is not designed to breakdown processed food. Whole foods are easier to digest and extract the right nutrients to create healthy cells and energy.
Shelter
The condition of our homes affects our health in many ways. Feng Shui, de-cluttering, and addressing structural problems can create new, positive energy in our environment. Even our clothing provides shelter, generating energy around our bodies. Consider natural materials like cotton, wool, linen, hemp, and bamboo rather than synthetics.
Sleep
A healthy sleep space and getting the rest you require helps the body repair itself and perform critical functions.
Exercise
Over time, we have become more sedentary. Physical activity lowers the risk of many diseases, helps us lose weight, increases strength and generates positive thoughts.
Spirit
Connecting with each other through energy within may aid our health in ways that we don’t know until we experience it. There is also the spirit that flows through all of us that may require our attention.
