Positive Words & Plant Growth: The Physiology of Belief
Every thought we have creates the physical
reality of our perceptions.Thoughts and beliefs induce cellular changes
and alter neural connections.
Affirmations are a way to tap into the power of our beliefs. Affirmations are statements set in the present tense that allow you to express your desires.
By saying your affirmations out loud, even if that reality has not yet come to fruition, you allow your mind to accept them as true. Once they are held as truths in your subconscious mind, changes at the cellular level can begin. Based on this, it is so important to choose your words and thoughts wisely, they are not without consequence.

Your thoughts become your words

What is Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is made from a single
celled organism, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae that is grown on molasses,
then harvested, washed and dried by heat to deactivate it. It is not the
same as yeasts used for baking or brewing beer, and has no leavening
abilities. Nutritional yeast can be purchased in flakes or powdered and
lends a cheesy, savory flavour to
foods. Use it to give a cheesy flavour to your favourite snacks like roasted chickpeas, homemade crackers or air-popped popcorn. Use in mashed potatoes or on top of dishes instead
of parmesan.
Nutritional yeast is also rich in B vitamins, folic acid, selenium, zinc and protein.

Barefootin'
How keeping little feet in the buff helps babies’ brains and nervous systems develop.
In her Pathways article, Barefootin’, Dr. Kacie Flegal teaches us the importance of allowing our babies to explore the world naturally without wearing shoes and socks. She explains the function of our two sensory systems, the proprioceptive and vestibular system, and how they directly contribute to the development of our neuromuscular strength, spatial orientation, balance and coordination.
When our little ones wear shoes, she says, it inhibits their sensory development by restricting
the movement of their feet while creating a barrier that prevents the proprioceptors in the feet
from feeling the terrain. Dr. Flegal points out that the sole of the foot is an extremely sensitive
part of the body with as many proprioceptors as the entire spinal column! She encourages us
to take off our baby’s shoes and our own shoes as much as possible to explore and enjoy the
stimulating sensation of the grass, leaves, and earth beneath our feet.
