On this glorious morning, the rain that falls from the sky in Toronto has inspired me to write, not only for health but for all the pleasures it creates from the moment we could jump in puddles.

The memory of walking with Sally and her son Evan brings a childlike smile to my face.  Do children naturally want to splash in puddles?  Sally didn’t want Evan splashing in the puddles…might splash someone, his socks wet, would mean going on the road.

Summer rains create something negative called ions, only this is positive for us.  I got a sparkle in my eye and splashed.  Evan with some hesitation did too.  Next came the laughter, the fun and from that day forward Evan remembered me as the lady who gave him permission to splash in the puddles.  Do you need permission too?

The positive ions are all around us:

– the electromagnetic radiation from power lines and household wires

splashing in the rain+rain boots

Splashing in the Rain

– electric heating and air conditioning devices

– cellular phones, computers, TVs, microwave ovens

– pollution from exhausts, smog, cigarette fumes

– radiation and harmful chemicals and toxins (also from synthetic fabrics/materials used for house building or decor)

– closed air at home, office, cars or buses

This disrupts the acid-alkaline balance within (pH levels).  The negative ions are here all around us to offset and provide balance.  Where should you be looking?

The flowing waters of rivers and waterfalls, rain showers and waves produce these.  Do you ever feel more energized being in nature?  Photosynthesis and evaporation produced by the plants are also a source of these healthy ions.  Living in places with four seasons, means negative ions from fresh snow…a frozen rain.

Ever wonder why baths make you sleepy and having a shower is invigorating?

Sunny days causes negative ions too…the rain and the sun for good health.  At the heart it, nature is part of a healthy lifestyle and the next time it rains I will listen for the beating of feet.

RAIN RAISES SPIRIT

Reflect and Reflections

by Cheryl Millett

The rain is cleansing,
Washing plant and cobbled streets.
Creating rivers and raindrops,
The puddles splash beneath our feet.

The rain is playful,
And windows provide a canvas.
Romance afoot and music to our ears,
Droplets fall gently on the window glass.

The rain is life,
Bodies are drenched in it.
Plants nourished by every drop,
The trees grow to be a bench upon we sit.

The rain is creation,
Burst forth the reflections in the rain.
Singing in the rain for the joy of it,
For the love flows the pulse within.

The rain is connecting,
Stormy clouds and immense oceans meet.
Nourishing food is naturally water rich,
Whilst our blood flows from head to feet.

Rain rain come out to play.

Loved your article about the rain. When I was a child (5-10 yrs) living in Cleveland Ohio my mother allowed my sister and I to get into our bathing suits and go outside in the rain.  Many of our neighborhood gang joined us.  We had such a delightful time running and splashing in the rain.  To this day I get the urge to get into my bathing suit and run in the rain, it would be so much fun!  It is hard to find anyone who would join me!  Kathlene W.

Excellent!  Donna D.

Beautiful! Love it!  Sarah C.R.

Champion for your better health…
Before the age of 20, it never dawned on me that what I chose to put in my mouth would have such a dramatic effect on my wellbeing.
On my path of discovery, I learned that our eating choices directly affected how much energy we have first thing in the morning or that it would build our immune system strength during flu season.  I came to understand how gentle nutritional cleansing directly helped overcome my health challenges. People keep telling me how beautiful my skin is or how I look younger.
As my studies continued, it became obvious that there is an intrinsic connection between the mind, body and spirit which directly affects our health and happiness.  I learned that Omegas are another critical piece of the wellness puzzle. I became convinced when the Auum omegas alone turned on some switches in my brain in just one day.
I have developed a deep appreciation for the wonderful miracle workers our bodies are in the recovery process.  Our bodies have a natural intelligence.  I am passionate to share the connection between nutrition and wellness in my practice and my presentations.
