You may not have thought of it in these terms, but your home is a vital part of your holistic health plan.
Your home affects you physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually:
Your home plays an integral part in your health.  It is where you go to at the end of each day to rest and relax – and that enables your body to repair and regenerate.  Hopefully, it also provides you with enough peace and calm to remember who you really are, rather than just the personality you’ve learnt to become.
The bedroom is the most important room in the house.
It’s during sleep that we lay down the cornerstones of our immune system.  Disrupted sleep often means disrupted immune function.  We can get away with this for a night or two.  But if it becomes a regular pattern, chronic sleep disruption can lead to immune system dysfunction – which has the potential to leave you open to a host of health complaints.  (As if insomnia and fatigue weren’t already enough.)
 
There are some man-made energies which disrupt the sense of energetic calm in our homes.  There are a couple of priorities to look at here.  Extremely Low Frequency Radiation (ELF’s – which we know as electricity).  And High Frequency Radiation – which includes radio frequency radiation (as used in radio and tv transmissions) and microwave radiation (which is used in wireless and mobile phone transmissions).
ELF’s & Electromagnetic Radiation:
The electricity in our homes produces electromagnetic radiation.  These electromagnetic fields have the potential to change our biology, and disrupt our health.  Short term exposure to ELF’s is linked to insomnia, tiredness, headaches and anxiety (amongst others).  Chronic exposure has the potential to lead to immune system disorders, Chronic Fatigue, Electro-Sensitivity, Multi-Chemical Sensitivity, depression, cancer and leukaemia (particularly childhood leukaemia.)  It’s also heavily implicated in fertility issues and miscarriage.
Electric Junction/Meter Box:
Top of the list to consider is the main household junction/meter box.  Do you know where yours is ?   The priority in any home is to make sure that you’re not sleeping anywhere near this.  Preferably not in the same room, but certainly not in a bed that backs up against it.
Electrical Appliances
What is your bed near?  Does it back onto a tv, fridge, computer, water heater….?  Do you have any transformers near your bedside table?  These are found in phone rechargers, digital clock radios, low-halogen bedside lights.  Do you use a sleeping blanket?  All these are examples of common appliances that can give off very large ELF’s – even when turned off – and disrupt both your sleep and your health.  
What to do about ELF’s?
The advice is always prudent avoidance:  Move those appliances that can be moved well away from you, and move yourself away from those that can’t.
High Frequency & Microwave Radiation:
Mobile phone technology runs on microwave radiation.  Most people are aware to some degree of the health concerns from external sources of radiation, such as the antennas and towers.  However, it’s actually the appliances that we’ve unwittingly placed inside our own homes that pose the most common threat to our health.
‘Wireless Appliances’:
‘Wireless’ computers and appliances run on microwave radiation.  In order for you to be able to pick up a signal in any room, your home first has to be filled with an invisible cloud of microwave radiation – ‘electrosmog’.
Cordless  & Mobile Phones:
The same applies to digital cordless phones (DECT).  For the handset to pick up a signal as you walk around, the base station sprays electrosmog throughout your home, so wherever you roam, the handset remains in contact. 
Again – most people have heard of the health concerns surrounding mobile phones.  But very few are aware that cordless phones also emit radiation – but are often far more powerful.
Microwave Radiation Health Concerns:
Research tells us that the areas of the body primarily affected are the brain, heart, immune system.    There are many studies linking it with short term memory loss, brain fog, Alzheimers  and brain cancer.  It’s relevant to the increase in ADHD as it’s known to produce hyperactivity and inability to control behaviour. As it also disrupts our endocrine system, it can result in lowered immunity, depression, mood swings, even weight gain and accelerated ageing.  It is also known to directly distort and damage our very DNA.
All this is particularly important for children, who are especially vulnerable.
What to do about Microwave Radiation?
The recommendation is always to favour cables in place of cordless.  For anything to work on a cordless or wireless basis – your home needs to be bathed in microwave radiation.  And as that’s on 24/7, you’re always living in it.  Connect your computer to the internet  via cable, and move back to a corded phone.
 
What to do?
Do all you can to:
• Remove sources of radiation out of your home – particularly away from your bed and sleeping area.
• Nurture and build up your immune system – so that it’s able to protect you
• Build up your energy system – so that that it’s strong enough to deflect the things you come into contact with.
• Focus your thoughts firmly on creating health, rather than on the fear of disease.
As our world becomes increasingly batPotential
Please remember that all the health affects listed here are potentials.  They don’t have to be activated.  As we’re learning, we have a much greater part to play in our own health than was previously believed.  The effects vary widely from individual to individual – dependent upon your genetic makeup, your health background, your level of sensitivity, and even your conditioning and belief patternshed in these forms of radiation, we all need to become aware of what’s happening and how it affects us – so that we can take the appropriate action to safeguard our health.

By Dr Judy Moss

Judy believes what creates your dis-ease, whether physical, emotional, spiritual or otherwise can equally cure it.
Dr. Judy Moss is a doctor and a medical intuitive and truly believes and has demonstrated that we can heal ourselves with ‘ease and grace’.
Your body is a complex organism composed of many structures that are an intricate and extraordinary group of inter-related systems. We refer to these intricate functions simply as ‘life’. Within that amazing creature – YOU – there are systems such as the digestive system, which is composed of several organs and functions working harmoniously toward one goal: supporting and maintaining your healthy joyful life. Since body function creates acidity, eating an alkalising diet is an easy way to create and maintain balance and well-being.

The human body is very intelligent. As we become more and more acidic, the body starts to set up defence mechanisms to keep the damaging acid from entering our vital organs. It is well known that acid gets stored in fat cells. So as a defence mechanism, your body may actually make fat to protect you from your overly-acidic self. Those fat cells and cellulite deposits may actually be packing up the acid and trying to keep it a safe distance from your organs.
The fat may be saving your vital organs from damage. Many people have found that a return to a healthy inner biological terrain helps them to lose excess fat. So hello everyone, start to love your fat!! It may turn out to be your best friend, protecting you until you make the acid/alkali tango change.
Dis-ease:

One of the first warning signs of an acidic biological terrain are physical symptoms like tiredness, heartburn, twitches/spasms, hot flushes, insomnia, etc, that also cause and increase emotional instability, moodiness etc. With time, one notices calcium deposits within joints, arteries etc and progressively more severe dis-ease at all levels that stem from overly acidic levels in the body.

Note: Very important
• Long, slow breathing makes us alkaline while rapid breathing makes us acid.
• Certain food, when organic, become alkaline
• The calmer we are, the more alkaline our body’s environment becomes.
Your foundation for Good Health:
1. Enjoy 20 mins of sunshine a day.
If there’s a deluge, a sun lamp will do the trick. We are a solar powered battery and we need to recharge daily for best results
2. Drink an average of 2 litres of great quality water a day.
At present two companies – Wellness and Nikken offer the most alkaline varieties
3. Alkalise and oxygenate 
• You can test your urine with some litmus paper regularly to ensure your system is adequately alkalised (purchase litmus paper from your chemist and get them to show you how).
• Walking in the fresh air does wonders for your oxygen levels, as does the occasional gargle with dilute peroxide.
• Bugs, cancer and most other disease are caused by an acidic, low oxygen environment.
• Changing your internal environment changes dis-ease to ease
4. The Kreb’s cycle describes how the body produces energy. Check it out on the net.
It’s well worth consulting a professional to test whether you have the ‘right’ quantities of all the ingredients required to run this cycle with ease and grace to put some power in your day.
Once you have mastered the basics:
The cause of all dis-ease:
1. Allergies – ‘things’ which you insist on excluding from your life which serve you
2. Addictions – ‘things’ which you insist on including in your life which do not serve you
3. Excesses – too much of an essential health and wellbeing ingredient e.g. sleep or exercise
4. Deficiencies – too little of an essential health and wellbeing ingredient e.g. vitamins or minerals
5. Habits
An example: Your parents may have insisted that you be the best in your studies, sport etc. You got into the habit of repeatedly actioning their wishes in order to please them or to avoid punishment or disappointing them. Now the habit still runs the show. Even though your parents may have passed on, you still try to be the best no matter what, so you become exhausted, irritable … = dis-eased.
6. Secondary gains
An example: You may unconsciously choose to be and remain sick so people are nice to you or so you don’t have to go to a job you hate. The idea here is to move the secondary gain to primary gain. In other words to understand and believe that you are entitled to have people be nice to you and to only do what you love and not need to get sick to achieve these benefits.
7. Non-serving Belief systems
An example: I believe I have to be what everyone expects me to be
8. Attractor fields = where heaps of no longer serving beliefs exist forming a powerful attractor field which attracts more of the same
9. Repulsor fields = where heaps of no longer serving beliefs exist forming a powerful repulsor field which continuously push away serving beliefs
10. Injunctions = prohibitions or inhibitions of the free behaviour of the child, reflecting some of the deepest fears, angers, sorrow and desires of the parent. They may be conscious or other than conscious, be given directly or indirectly, verbally or non-verbally.
An example: “Don’t grow up”. A message often given to the youngest child when the parent enjoys being a parent and doesn’t want to give up that role
11. Drivers = messages that restrict the child’s free behaviour. They often represent messages given by parents wanting to make the behaviour of their children socially acceptable and/or help the children be more successful in life.
An example: Hurry up
12. Loops = are patterns of behaviour recalled and recycled repeatedly creating a dynamic similar to obsessive compulsive behaviour.
These programmes operate at an, other than conscious level and keep feeding into and maintaining many non serving beliefs, attractor or repulsor fields. In every case these patterns are set up by the two most common loop feeders = expectations and compromise.
Some examples: I should, must, have to, ought to etc
It would be ideal for anyone experiencing anything other than complete vibrant health and joyful wellbeing to consult with an enlightened experienced health care practitioner and discover which of the basics or 12 causes are relevant to you and make the appropriate changes.
That way you can turn your frown upside down!
The Twelve Mastermind Principles
The wise man/woman starts each day reminding themselves and living these principles and thus creating the foundation for their empowerment and Wellbeing

4. I Decide: I decide to release my desire totally in trust to the Mastermind and I am open to accepting new possibilities.
5. I Forgive: I forgive myself for mistakes I have made. I also forgive others who have hurt me in the past so I can move into the future with a clean slate.
6. I Ask: I ask the Mastermind to hear what I really want; my goals, my dreams and my desires, and I hear my Mastermind partners supporting me in MY fulfilment.
7. I Accept: I know, relax, and accept; believing that the working power of the Mastermind will respond to my every need. I am grateful knowing this is so.
8. I Allow (and/or I Welcome): I allow and welcome my good/God; knowing that the Mastermind hails and supports my success Dedication and Covenant
9. I Celebrate: I celebrate my good and so it multiplies and focuses the bounty

11. I Announce: I announce my good and receive it in equal part
12. I Concur: I concur, synchronise, coordinate, harmonise and live in ways that Engage the Universal Life and Mastermind principles so that the Universe begins and continues to serve me exponentially

THE COVENANT
“I now have a covenant in which it is agreed that the Mastermind shall supply me with an abundance of all things necessary to live a success-filled and happy life. I dedicate myself to be of maximum service to God and my fellow human beings, to live in a manner that will set the highest example for others to follow and to remain an open channel of God’s will. I go forth with a spirit of enthusiasm, excitement and expectancy.”

It also strengthens the immune system and the body’s ability to heal itself.”
