Meditations with Mickey: How it all began...

Meditations with Mickey

I share a sneak peek into my dreams. Disneyland isn’t just a destination for me; it’s a passion, a hobby, and a lifestyle.

My Disney dreams help me to achieve more, live more fully, and fills me with joy...what inspires you?

Child

My first trip to Disneyland was in 1971…I was 6 years old. A black and white photograph shows me as a smitten youngster beaming in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.

My fascination with Mickey and all things Disney began that day. Wonder and awe surrounding this magical place began my lifelong 'Meditations with Mickey' - whenever I felt blue, lonely, or under the weather I would daydream about the mouse and his house.

Accelerated Healing With Cell Salts...

How did I first learn about the importance of this supplement? Both my Naturopath, Dr. Leslie Peterson, and homeopath, David R. Card, stressed the importance of ingesting cell salts for better health. According to Card, “Cell salts, also known as tissue salts, exist in every human body. They are the inorganic biochemical elements found in the blood and tissue. They are the builders and the catalysts for many processes, including assimilation and detoxification.” Cell salts were a crucial part of my recovery after each of my hip replacement surgeries. In my resource guide I describe the supplemental support I used (pg 36) post surgery as prescribed by my physician. This support included the homeopathic Hyland’s Bioplasma cell salts to stimulate my body’s natural healing mechanisms and to satisfy any mineral imbalances. Daily cell salt supplementation is part of my daily nutrient routine and can be purchased directly from Hyland.

There are a number of cell salt combinations you can put together to support the specific needs of your body. These salts provide tools the body needs for healing. An easy to read introduction to cell salts has been written by David R. Card, homeopath and nutritionist. Check out the pocket guide, 12 Essential Minerals for Cellular Health, to learn more about both the internal and external therapeutic uses of cell salts.

Gluttony and Sloth...a Seductive, Destructive Duo

Of the seven deadly sins, gluttony and sloth are two that can be found in the stereotypical American lifestyle. In our Western world of excess and abundance, having more and wanting more is encouraged, glorified, and too often…justified. Gluttony and sloth are both the lowest forms of destructive lifestyle behaviors. Gorging demonstrates signs of dietary disorders such as binge eating and food addiction. Sloth is the apathy, despair, and reluctance to make a move in one’s life. Sloth arrives when we are depressed, have given up, or lack self esteem.

Diseases of excess are the result of gluttony and sloth. These include illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and physical conditions like arthritis and obesity. The seduction of gluttony begins in the mouth as our taste buds are tantalized with fatty, salty, and sugary foods. And did you realize that the brain is altered when we ingest overly processed food? Sugar can light up and impact our brain just like cocaine, since both sugar and cocaine use floods the bloodstream with dopamine. Sugar also makes the blood sticky and can contribute to heart disease and type II diabetes.

Sloth lures us to apathy…we are sedentary too often, and this allows our muscles to atrophy. When we stop challenging our bodies with movement we enter a destructive cycle of weakness, fatigue, and sloth can lead to bone loss.

If you’ve been drawn into a dangerous relationship with gluttony and sloth, how do you break up? Self-care, behavioral therapy, time in nature, exercise, acupuncture, meditation, and a lengthy, honest conversation with your physician are just a few of the ways to address and rid yourself of this destructive duo. Gluttony and sloth are considered deadly sins for good reason. Say goodbye to these two and improve your quality of life.

Age Well - Exercise Every Single Day

Our bodies are designed to move! The keys to longevity and aging well are to fuel your body with high quality food, receive adequate rest daily, and move your body with some form of fitness every single day. Keep it simple and uncomplicated!

Choose a form of exercise that you enjoy, that challenges you, and one that fits your current level of fitness. Limited mobility? Try seated exercise such as chair aerobics. No gym? Use YouTube to stream a wide variety of exercise videos suitable for every age and ability level. New to exercise? Begin with gentle stretching, walking, or check out water aerobics!

Prior to the pandemic I worked out daily at the gym, beginning with a warm up on the treadmill or elliptical and strength trained 3 times per week. Amid the shut downs I discovered Fabulous50s via YouTube and am hooked! Luckily, my living room has ample space for cardio routines, a mini elliptical, and a set of free weights for strength training days. Below is one of my favorite Fabulous50s routines combining both cardio and balance.

Be Well and Keep Moving! ~Tiffany
