Preparing Herbs and Louise Hay

HERBS
I am now at the point where I am buying herbs bulk because they are cheaper. It took me awhile to figure out what works. I measure out enough for the day into a big measuring cup mixing them all. I heat up water in the tea kettle and pour hot water over it and cover it. Once it is cool, if I want to mix them up really well, I put them in my mini blender. I then put out three small jam jars and pour a bit in each, the same amount, then go back and pour a little more. Then I can cover the ones I need to take with me for the day, and leave the one on the counter for my evening dose.

LOUISE HAY
It comes up again and again, that this journey of a bacterial infection/overgrowth is DIFFERENT for people. We don't all traverse the same path. What beauty in that! I had an aha moment for me, to begin to add Louise Hay affirmations specific for remaining symptoms. In the past, for other things, I've made a recording of my own voice with affirmations that served me in my journey and I think I want to do this for remaining symptoms. What is really interesting, is I can now see how the mind/heart/thought/belief behind the cause of the symptom, well, I can see an element of truth and know what I can work on deeply to shift.

Examples
Infection: irritation, anger, annoyance - I choose to be peaceful, and harmonious
Thyroid: humiliation-"I never get to do what I want to do. When is it going to be my turn?" - I move beyond old limitations and now allow myself to express freely and creatively.
Tongue (tension and pain here): - represents the ability to taste the pleasures of life with joy - I rejoice in all of my life's bountiful givingness.
Headaches: Invalidating the self. Self-criticism. Fear - I love and approve of myself and what I do with the eyes of love.
Gray hair (ha, ha, ha, not lyme I don't think): stress. A belief in pressure and strain. I am at peace and comfortable in every area of my life. I am strong and capable.
Throat: Avenue of Expression. Channel of creativity - I open my heart and sing the joys of love
Throat problems - the inability to speak up for one's self. Swallowed anger. Stifled creativity. Refusal to change - it is okay to make noise. I express myself freely and joyously. I speak up for myself with ease. I express my creativity. I am willing to change.
Arthritic fingeres: A desire to punish. Blame. Feeling victimized - I see with love and understanding. I hold all of my experiences up to the light of love.
Foot Problems (sore feet for me): fear of the future and not stepping forward in life - I move forward in life with joy and with ease.

Her book was gifted to me years ago... grateful.

It is called "Heal your body"

You are so fortunate to have a husband to come up with the brilliant idea of 3 shiny pennies. I LOVE that! Yes, truly sad to not remember if one had taken a morning dose, and glad that those days are behind you? Amazing what this does to one's brain. Although I still struggle, and have hellacious moments, I am thinking the worse is behind me. There may be relapses and such, but I certainly hope, the worse is behind us all and that we can be there for those in their moments when they are in the midst of the cruddiest it gets.
