| | | Kefir: The Ancient Fermented Milk Beverage
Kefir is a fermented milk beverage that has mythical origins deep in the Caucasus Mountains in Russia.1 The name itself is Russian in origin, and means “pleasure drink.”
To create kefir, kefir grains - a live culture composed of healthy bacteria and yeasts - are mixed with milk, causing it to ferment. Today, this healthful drink is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide, and can be easily prepared in the comfort of your own home. By guest writer Dr Joseph Mercola. |

That’s a ridiculous question, isn’t it? Of course you are — who isn’t?! In the last year and a half, we’ve experienced a multitude of things to be anxious about.
Where does it end? How can we sit at peace in the world and not be consumed by fear and anxiety? The onslaught of stressors has created a chronic problem. Many of us are caught in a perpetual cycle of fight, flight, or freeze responses and it’s wreaking havoc on our physical and mental health.
Wouldn’t you love to be able to step outside of the emotional chaos, to visit a gentle, tranquil place that nurtures you and carries you through difficult times? Well, you can!
Join us to find out how at this special free online event:
Energy Medicine Yoga and Sound Healing Tunings to Reduce Stress and Find Peace, Joy and Healing
Your host for this event, Lauren Walker, creator of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga), can show you how to quell your inner noise and release and heal your fears and traumas so you can cultivate inner peace, joy, and resilience.
In this free one-hour workshop, Lauren will show you how balancing your energy systems using energy medicine, coupled with an easy, gentle form of yoga, can heal you on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.
EMYoga — which combines energy medicine with a traditional yoga practice — can influence the trajectory of your body’s energy patterns to heal and increase vitality, while balancing your immune, hormonal, and nervous systems. In this event, an even more gentle form will be practiced — more in line with restorative yoga.
You’ll learn the power of tapping in to your quantum blueprint, which contains the very essence of you — your energy body that holds your perfect, true self — while bringing you into deep rest, deep clearing, and deep healing.
Lauren will lead you in a transformative practice where you’ll focus on clearing the enormity of stress you’re holding. You’ll open up your body, getting it settled and grounded with some simple movements.
To help you go even deeper, Lauren will add the power of tuning forks, the sound-therapy method employed by Shift faculty member Eileen McKusick, targeting its vibrational sounds to relax your nervous system, while clearing and resetting your adrenals and rebalancing the cortisol levels in your body.
You’ll have an opportunity to trace and tune your central and governing meridians — allowing your energy to flow freely around your core — helping to usher you into a state of deep calm, allowing you to rest and heal your body, mind, and spirit.
*Please note: This exercise will not include any difficult yoga poses and does not require being limber or having good balance. It’s a practice using a sound-healing tuning fork along with simple movements (that can be done seated, standing, or lying down). You’re invited to use your own tuning fork, if you have one — or you can just be enveloped by the vibrations that Lauren will create.
Intrigued? RSVP here to sign up for your free place at this inspirational event!
During this experiential, healing hour with Lauren, you’ll discover:
- How resetting your quantum blueprint resets your original, true essence
- How using EMYoga together with sound-healing tuning forks can double-turbocharge your self-healing
- A practice using gentle movements and sound healing to relax your nervous system
- How being perpetually anxious impacts your overall health
- The importance of learning how to ground yourself for healing and stress relief
Lauren created Energy Medicine Yoga after discovering the healing power of this work in the aftermath of several traumatic life events. She has authored Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Yoga Practice and The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription.
Now she is in a mission to share this wisdom so that many more people can enjoy the healing energies of sound. Isn’t it time you discover your own innate sound healing abilities?
Reserve your free place at this workshop here – get ready to take your wellness to the next level. If you can’t make the event live, you will be able to download a free recording of it once the event has taken place.
To our collective wellness!

| | Eat Your Way Smart with a Brain Food Diet
A diet is simply a planned way of eating. Most people go on a diet to lose weight, some because they have food allergies or are eating to control their cholesterol or digestive disorders. But few people say they are on a “brain food diet” to develop a healthier brain! And that’s a shame because the way you eat can have a huge impact on how well your brain functions.
