The Grass is Always Greener on The Otherside?

Healing Procedure May 22, 2022

Whether we acknowledge and take a step to our health concerns, and symptoms or not, we think what other people are going through is much easier than what we are going through.

Well, when I was having terrible flare-ups on my whole body, I thought I was the first person that people would feel sorry for among others. Some told me that they had been having chronic back pain, joint pain, pains during menstruation, IBS, etc. But I didn’t think it was as terrible as the problem is on the skin where other people could see in the eyes.

We are all very unique individuals. What we are healing from has no hierarchy.

While I have never had pains during menstruation, some girls can’t even get out of bed when it happens. While I have never experienced arthritis, some expressed to me that the pain is so unbearable that they could be chronically depressed. But pains are invisible. We don’t know how hard it is what they are going through until we experience the degree of the pain.

I have been healing from chronic eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW for short). My day-to-day life was mostly downs not so many ups because it was my face and neck where I couldn’t really hide with clothes like other parts of the body. People would ask me if I had an allergic reaction to some foods. People would offer me to use coconut oil, shea butter, or other oils to moisturize the skin where I knew the problem wasn’t the “skin” itself.  I was embarrassed about how I looked. I wished it wasn’t my face.

In 2013, I started wearing eyeglasses (I have been wearing contacts in public since grade 6) so that I could at least hide a tiny part of my face. And looking in a mirror became my obsession to look for my “flaws” and “imperfection” instead of telling myself “I love you”. So of course, I never wanted to be social either. I started to hide from everybody.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn’t mind spending time alone at all, which led me to feel depressed for a really long time.

Just before the end of the summer in 2013, a good friend of mine came back from Brazil. She told me all about her healing journey there in Abadiania. That’s when I learned about John of God, famous for healing people with chronic degenerative diseases. (ADDITIONAL NOTE: Today when I’m writing this blog, he has been arrested for numerous accusations of sex abuse. I didn’t know back then about what was going on and his crimes in the Casa.)

Her story was more than enough to convince me to book flights to visit him after 10 mins of chat. I got return tickets to Abadiania for December that night.

I was so looking forward to clearing my skin while I was there for two weeks and looking “healthy” again but this time not faking it with a cortisone cream.

Did it happen?

The answer is no.

The symptoms got worse when I arrived. My friend told me it was common. But my skin was unbearably itchy so much so that I couldn’t stay still day and night. While everybody visited for their own healing was hanging out in the “Love Bubble”, I stayed inside all day hiding out from people.

A couple of things I tried meanwhile were an in-person session on a crystal bed about 3 days a week for chakra balancing and giving prayers at the casa.

About a week in, I was finally able to get to see John of God after waiting in line for a couple of hours. There was only a little time he could spend with each person and for me, his word was not anything I wanted to hear – “You should come back here three more times. Then you will heal.”

I was disappointed big time.

My anger was at its peak as my skin was red and scally getting worse despite the treatments on the crystal bed, not sleeping at all because of the itch, and feeling lonely and helpless.

Then, the year turned 2014. I heard people counting the time to zero, then screaming, and singing, the fireworks had gone off and celebrating all night.

Me?

I was in bed alone asking the universe to free my spirit from my body.

I lost count of how many times I wished my health challenges were not on my skin and rather inside of the body where they are invisible.

People in the “Love Bubble” in Abadiania looked all healthy no matter how serious their health challenges could be, it didn’t matter to me. When your inside is so rotten by toxicity both emotionally and physically, you envy others and you feel you are the worst victim of life.

Yes, that was me.

What was my takeaway from this trip?

It was “SELF-LOVE”. I got this message from spirits while I was writing a note (“I want healthy skin.”) for the community prayer at the casa. I couldn’t understand it then and for a while after. The message was too simple to connect the dot necessary to heal my skin.

But it was “SELF-LOVE” that I needed to explore deeper in order to get to know ME more. It turns out that my skin healing journey was much bigger than just eczema or TSW, but also the journey to be able to see the grass on my side is just as green as the other side and it’s up to me whether to see the beauty in my grass or not.

When our eyes and minds are on what’s missing or imperfection in us, we are never able to appreciate how authentic we are. When we overlook the authenticity in us, it becomes harder to align with our hearts where we (true selves) can manifest and reflect the outside world from within.

 

Can you feel your imperfection is your authenticity?

Can you see what’s making you feel resented about your body is actually authentic?

 

“Look up. Because you are beautiful.”

Ginger Date Bread

Homemade Healing Recipes February 16, 2022

I had dates in my cupboard and wanted to make something healthy with them.

As I drink mushroom tea every morning, I decided to make breakfast bread that is not too sweet with dates and little help of sugar alternatives.

I played around a couple of times with this recipe. Each time was different – texture and the level of moisture inside. It tasted very good both times! So I hope you also play around to find “your kind” of bread, especially with the types of flour you use, the timing that you take out the bread from the oven and the ginger kombucha!

Ingredients:

<WET>

  • 8 oz. Dates (about 10-12 dates)
  • 1 cup Ginger Kombucha
  • 4 Tbsp  Grassfed butter (melted)
  • 2 Eggs (large, beaten)

<DRY>

  • 1 cup  Almond flour
  • 1 cup  Brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup Monk fruit powder
  • 3/4 tsp  Baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp  Himalayan pink salt

Dates cooked in Ginger Kombucha

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven  to 350F. Lay a parchment paper in a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Chop the pitted dates into pieces, put them in a sauce pan with ginger kombucha and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 25 minutes.
  3. Melt the butter in a glass bowl in the oven. (I do this while I’m heating up the oven to 350F).
  4. In a larger bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients until well combined.
  5. Pour the date mixture, butter, and eggs into mixed dry ingredients, and mix well with a spatula untill all the flours to be incorporated into the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes untill a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. I check at around 40 minutes and even if a toothpick comes out with a little batter, leave the loaf in the oven and turned it off, then wait for 5 minutes before taking it out. This will make the moist inside perfect for my taste!
  7. Let the bread cool in a pan for 10 minutes. And then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Note:

I had some shredded coconuts to use up so I sprinkled them on. If you don’t have any, don’t worry. I think sliced almonds would be great as well!

Keto-Friendly Banana Bread

Homemade Healing Recipes February 14, 2022

I have been eating fewer carbohydrates for a really long time now. I don’t classify my diet as anything but it is leaning towards the Ketogenic or Carnivore diet.

And yet, I allow myself to eat honey such as manuka honey or raw honey, less refined forms of sugar such as coconut sugar, and “zero-calories” types of sweeteners such as monk fruit and stevia.

This is my favourite banana bread recipe that I finally settled on after trying a few different ones.

It is very moist and has the perfect sweetness! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

<WET>

  • 3 Banana (with lots of black spots)
  • 1/2 cup  Honey
  • 1/2 cup  Coconut oil or Grassfed butter (melted)
  • 3 Eggs (beaten)
  • 1/2 tsp  Vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp  Lemon juice

<DRY>

  • 1 cup  Almond flour
  • 1 cup  Coconut flour
  • 1 tsp  Baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon powder
  • Pinch  Himalayan pink salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven  to 320 F. Lay a parchment paper in a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Melt the coconut oil or butter in a glass bowl in the oven. (I do this while I’m heating up the oven to 320F).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients until well combined.
  4. In a larger bowl, mash bananas with a fork, add butter, honey, eggs, and the rest of the wet ingrediets, and whisk untill well combined.
  5. Add combined dry ingredients to wet and mix well with a spatula untill all the flours to be incorporated into the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes untill a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. (I check at 50 minutes and if a toothpick comes out clean, leave the loaf in the oven and turned it off, then wait for 5 minutes before taking it out.)
  7. Let the bread cool in a pan for 10 minutes. And then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Exchange sessions with me!

Sharing is Caring May 11, 2018

 

As we all are unique human being, I believe each one of us has a talent whether that’s related to alternative medicine, natural healing modalities, writing skills or photography.

This doesn’t limit us from sharing our talents with each other by age, gender, or how well-known we are, as long as we all care about each other and willing to support one another.

While I love to value my service, knowledge, and wisdom I have earned from spending a lot of time and money for my education and experience to be where I am now, I also love to value the same for others.

Exchanging sessions is one of the great ways to spread words. Because who doesn’t have like-minded people in their circle?

I’m very open to any modalities to exchange my service (Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®︎ and Iridology (Virtual consultation available), and GAPS diet consultation) with – writers, photographers, painters, massage therapists, yoga teachers, and more.

Please message me if you like to discuss about this! I look forward to connecting with you all!

GAPS Cauliflower Savory Bread

Homemade Healing Recipes April 13, 2018

I have always loved this savory bread as it contains no carbs when I was going through dietary restrictions way harder than now.

This recipe is suitable for GAPS people but if you or your family is allergic to eggs, you can alternate them to ground flax or chia seeds. I was making mine with chia seeds and coconut oil as I was avoiding eggs and dairy.

 

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs (organic, pastured)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter  (lard, chicken fat, beef fat) or coconut oil
  • 2 cups crumbled cauliflower (put in a food processor till it’s crumbly.  Lightly squeeze to drain extra water before measuring)
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbs picked and chopped fresh thyme
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt or sea crystal salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda

 

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all the wet ingredients well in a bowel (first 4 ingredients above).
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients well in a separate bowl (rest of the ingredients above).
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir till they are nicely combined.
  5. Pour into a loaf pan with parchment paper and sprinkle a pinch of salt on top.
  6. Bake in the oven (at 350 degrees) for an hour or till cooked through (stick a skewer).

 

Note:

If you like to alternate your eggs to ground flax or chia seeds, here is the conversion.

– Soak 6 Tbsp ground flax meal (or chia meal) in 1 cup of water. And rest.

If it’s too thick, add 1 Tbsp of water.

 

 

Sick from eating vegetables?

Educational Information, Healing Procedure April 8, 2018

 

Have you become sicker when you started eating more vegetables?

Have you gotten old symptoms back when you started a healing protocol such as detox program?

If you have, I hope you didn’t go back to your old eating habit but tried to be patient with the body’s reaction.

Elimination Organs

While we are eating fries, bread, pasta with little vegetables, and drinking pops, and other sugary drinks over clean water, our body’s metabolism slows down. Although our body is always healing 24/7, it needs nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals from foods that we are eating.

There are five elimination organs that are involved in getting rid of toxins from the body. They are lungs, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and skin.

If we don’t assimilate nutrients from the food we eat, toxins won’t get out of the body through the organs I mentioned above. Even worse, the liver may not be able to properly convert the toxic substances into less toxic.  Toxic substances first have to be converted to less toxic in order to excreted from elimination organs. Otherwise, those elimination organs will be damaged.

Nutrients are necessary not just for the energy production but for the other metabolic cycle. Our organs are digesting food as well as helping the detoxification process.

If there aren’t nutrients for digestion, digestive system slows down. Undigested food then becomes toxic to the body. If there aren’t nutrients for detoxification, toxins will circulate in the blood then store in the organs and tissues that are less functional.

It is the vicious cycle without nutrients.

Healing Crisis

When our body starts to heal with right nutrients, toxins stored in the organs and tissues, they will be dumped into the bloodstream. Then we hope that all elimination organs are working optimally in order to eliminate the toxins carried by the blood. If they are not working at its best, toxins may keep circulating in the bloodstream and then eventually stored again.

This is what happens to the body when your diet goes from no nutrients to full of nutrients. Or when you start detoxifying the body with herbs and nutritional supplements.

Especially when you go raw or do a juice cleanse, a lot of toxins will be dumped into the bloodstream and most of the time, elimination organs aren’t ready for that much toxins to be able to handle at once. As toxins circulate all over the body, we get sick and have old symptoms back.

We call this “healing crisis”.

Everybody who tries to cleanse should be informed this to avoid going back to medications because this process is absolutely necessary for healing.

Although healing crisis happens during the healing process, we can minimize the degree of it by utilizing homeopathy. But usually, people figure the best pace and amount to go on healing procedure for themselves by trial and error.

Make sure you reduce the amount of the food (raw, fresh juice, vegetables, etc) you are eating or supplements you are taking when started having a healing crisis. If vegetables cause gas and bloating, start with small amount of fermented food and supplemental probiotics to balance bacteria.

Besides going slow with the amount, try herbs to help support elimination organs so that toxins will optimally be eliminated when they are released from organs and tissues.

If necessary, please advice your practitioner before you get really sick that you can’t handle.

Hering’s Law of Cure

The nineteenth-century European homeopathic physician, Constantine Hering expressed the principles of healing, “All cure starts from within out, from the head down, and in the reverse order as the symptoms appeared.”

When we start searching for what’s best for healing by using our head, healing has already begun. In other words, healthy mind heals rest of the body.

If you see your skin is irritated, you always have to work on your internal toxicity. Nothing that topical cream could “heal” your skin unless that’s purely external injury.

Do you give up or be patient?

I have experienced many many healing crisis which weren’t easy physically nor emotionally. Generally speaking, healing crisis lasts for few days. Mine lasted for months. I didn’t even know when it was over as multiple healing crisis occurred one after another.

But I didn’t give up. I believed my body’s ability to heal itself.

Someone once told me they couldn’t eat any fermented food nor cruciferous vegetables because they hurt her stomach. When she eats KFC, she doesn’t get sick.

This is a typical example that her body is storing toxins rather than “eliminating” them.

Sometimes people react to vegetables and fruits because of the chemicals sprayed on them. Once they switch to organic from conventional vegetables and fruits, symptoms get better. So make sure you eat organic.

Healing takes time. Nothing heals overnight. Trust the process and be patient. You are healing as long as you are doing things that help the body do its job.

Practice for mindful traveling

Make Choices, Spirit for Healing April 6, 2018

 

When it comes to commitment to the healing, traveling is the best or the worst enemy you can fall for. A lot of my clients are very inspired and commit to spending a good amount of time for daily self-care after having a session with me. But when they go on a vacation or business trip, this is when they stop following their daily regimen.

What can you do?

Pack your own snacks before flying

Make sure you preplan and pick up something to bring with you before leaving home so that you can snack on while you are at the airport. You may have to spend up to two hours waiting for your plane to takes off.

It is very hard to find something that doesn’t break your healthy eating habit.

Booster juice? Starbucks smoothie? Well, could be a better choice than fries, potato chips, muffins, etc. But what’s even better? You prepare your own food that you know there are no chemicals or additives in it.

Packing your own lunch box is a great idea, or chop vegetable sticks (celery, cucumber, broccoli, etc), just grab one or two apples, and mixed nuts and seeds (fat) can make you feel full for a while.

Mindful traveling starts from the day you started getting ready for the mindful traveling happen. Anything is possible as long as you really want to keep you on track.

Drink plenty of water

When I had my first trip after I made my commitment to my healthy eating, I didn’t know whether I could carry on my own food that I bought. So I had never had my own snacks to fly with. I never really wanted to buy something from the airport either. All I did was to drink plenty of water.

As much as I believe in nutrition from whole foods, I also think it’s healthy to fast for a half day by drinking just clean water. By clean water, I mean a bottled “spring water”. Although I’m a no supporter of plastic bottles, when we are traveling, we got to give up certain things that we have no control over.

Show your gratitude. This is mindful traveling.

Search for local stores and restaurants

When I go traveling, one of my favorite things to do is to search for local organic restaurants, health food stores, and kombucha brewers. I love to find different products they sell than where I live. Since the “health” is my passion, my first priority is to eat healthy no matter where I am. Plus, I will be spending my money on local artisans when I’m eating a restaurant uses locally grown organic produces.

Once you find the stores and restaurants with where you can stay with your healthy eating habit, you feel like you are actually not traveling.

Once I was in the UK, I had a hard time finding one healthy food store around the hotel. I had a choice eating out in a non-organic restaurant. I gave my prayer over the plate and appreciated the food that I could eat. I believe what’s important is to accept and appreciate what comes to me. Disappointment and anger won’t help us digest any food that we put in our mouth.

Take time for yourself

Whether you are traveling on your own or with somebody else, it’s easy to lose track of time. Staying up late and waking up early can exhaust you before coming home. Take your time at least 10 mins daily to connect with your self. Set your mind and body peaceful.

Even though you might not be able to perform some self-care regimen that you do at home, you can easily get back on track if you don’t lose completely.

Have fun

While a lot of people fell behind of their daily regime, some want to stick to their daily habit while they go on traveling. They don’t want to forget the multiple supplements they are taking every day so that they are stressed whether they packed enough amount, and worry about the food they might or might not be able to eat during the trip.

We all adapt ourselves in a different environment. The important thing is to be easy when our environment changes. If you forget to take supplements, then forget it. You can’t stress about it like the end of the world.

As I mentioned above already, you will do your best to stay on track. And again, it’s possible. But if you fail, you may or may not have your health challenges back. It’s a learning process.

You can’t live based on your fear.

So enjoy while you are away.

If you lost it, you challenge yourself the next time to stay on track a bit longer.

What is “Self-Love”?

Educational Information, Healing Procedure, Make Choices, Spirit for Healing March 23, 2018

I was asked one day.

What does self-love mean?

Do you think I have known what self-love is before starting my healing journey?

NO.

I believe this is something you learn as you experience certain events in life and be willing to heal from those events emotionally and physically. I’m sorry but I don’t believe people lightly say “I love myself.”. Because that’s not what I’m not talking about.

Abusing is NOT self-love.

My abusing started when I stopped looking after my body.

I intentionally held bowel movement as I was ashamed to go to the toilet when I was like 7. Then started skipping meals or stopped eating “food” to lose weight. Which led to the anorexic behavior for about 6 years. The reason for the weight loss was that a boy in my class told me that I was chubby. Around the same time, my mother also told me that I was chubby. Since I was sort of competitive in nature, I promised myself to get skinny.

While I kept losing my weight, I also had an extreme pressure from my mother regarding the school work. I was probably a decent student in elementary school but the pressure was put before I enrolled mid school. This pressure gave me stomach pains every morning. I remember taking painkiller pills every day for the next several months until I collapsed in the middle of the class.

Apparently, I almost had a hole in my stomach. Who knows if that was from the pills or the stress.

In the meantime, I have introduced to laxatives from a senior student in school when I was 13 for my constipation. Luckily, my family wasn’t big on any medications unless it’s an emergency. So when I discovered the pills that helped my bowel movement, I was hooked. And addicted.

The daily dose of the laxative was two. How much I took daily was 6. It also helped me keep losing weight. This laxative addiction lasted another 10 years from then.

When I became a high school girl, my eating habit started to rebound. I binge ate pizza, cookies, and other snacks. My mother was happy I started eating no matter what I was eating. I tried to keep my weight just below 100 lbs (my height was 5’6″) with laxatives until I moved away from my parents’.

I started living alone in Tokyo while I was in college. Here I started having serious bulimic behavior. It was very tough times as I had never been able to tell anyone about my “secret”, even my boyfriend whom I was in a serious relationship with.

Tokyo is such a big city where I could easily abuse my body, such as lack of sleep, heavy alcohol intake, binge eating, and very lonely in the heart.

Let me remind you that none of above is ever “self-love”. I abused my body both physically and emotionally. Especially, I remember I cried every time I was trying to throw up in the toilet which often wasn’t an easy procedure.

And HATED me.

I hated myself not knowing when this was going to end. I hated myself not to be able to control my eating attitude. I hated myself hiding “true self” from my partner I loved. I hated myself acting happy in public and being a mess when I was alone.

On the contrary…

I’d like to think of myself I’m a much more self-loving girl now. Sure, the environment is different and I am older. I have learned what I was supposed to along the way. “Wholistic Healing Arts” – body, mind, and spirit. And I am still learning every single day.

Physically Self-loving

I sleep (at least trying to intentionally, if not.) 8 hours a day. I eat 100% organic including plenty of vegetables and occasionally fish and organ meats that nourish my body. I also quit alcohol in 2011 when I decided to commit to my healing. I excuse myself to go to a toilet whenever I need. I stopped weighing in 2005 (I have weighed once in 2009 and was the last time I did so.) but don’t feel pity about my body. I exercise lightly but daily. I enjoy the detox procedures such as Epsom salt bath, castor oil packs, vaginal steam, and coffee enema to help my body regenerate.

Mentally Self-loving

I learned to forgive myself and others in any situations. I learned to understand the unique human being. I learned to set my own boundary. I learned my limitations. I learned that every emotion (anger, sadness, grief, fear, etc) had its own right to be felt. I learned to let myself express how I feel. I learned to say no. I feel comfortable being self-reserved. I learned to let go of toxic relationships. I don’t waste my time with people engage in drama. I laugh every possible moment.

Spiritually Self-loving

I practice 1000 gratitude a day (I haven’t reached 1000 yet, I am trying every day!). I learned the relationship between female hormonal cycle and intuition, which helped me to understand when I would be more intuitive and when I would be more logic. I always ask “Why” to whatever happens in life which will let me become more aware of signs from the universe. I listen to my heart. I say thank you in every possible moment.

Other Self-loving

I don’t try to become someone whom I am not. This is a tough one from time to time, however. We meet people who are like-minded in some topics and completely opposite in other topics. Can we be still close to those people?

The answer is YES. All we have to do is to accept who they are. We don’t need to be with them 24/7. We hang out when we are talking about something in common. You don’t need to project yourself to like everything they do.

I know that I’m not for everyone. What I believe in life is not for everyone. How I see life isn’t for everyone. What works for me isn’t for everyone. Sure. If a lot of people show up in my life and they are all like-minded people, that’s great. But that’s not really my goal for self-love. Self-love here is to be okay with who you are, no matter how many people will become your people. What’s important is that you keep loving yourself despite the change “outside” you.

How to … “Oil-Pulling”

Educational Information, Healing Procedure, Spirit for Healing March 19, 2018

 

How to – Oil-Pulling

  1. Make sure to perform the oil pulling up on waking before eating, drinking anything, or brushing your teeth.
  2. Swish 1-2 teaspoons of cold pressed organic oils such as coconut oil (the best!) and sesame seed oil for 20 mins.
  3. Spit out the oil and rinse with warm salt water.
  4. Brush the teeth as usual.

 

** Time your oil pulling. As 20 minutes is definitely the ideal timing to dissolve the plaque and weaken or kill bacteria but not long enough that the body starts re-absorbing the toxins and bacteria that the oil chelated from the mouth. The oil will get thicker and milky as it mixed with saliva during the swishing but make sure not to swallow.

** If you are using coconut oil, spit out the oil in a trash can. Do not spit in the sink as it may solidify as the temperature goes down.

** Try this 3-4 times a week for the improvement.
