Three Generation Getaway

 My mom, me and my girl ventured together to the Copperhead Inn and Spa in the Catskill Forest Preserve for the incredible lightness of being, the phrase taken from their tagline. We enjoyed a 3-day retreat full of delicious and indulgent food, hikes in the woods, spa treatments, water aerobics and plenty of laughter. The food was expertly prepared by innkeeper Elizabeth Winograd's husband Lech, "who makes healthy food so tasty and inspiring you feel silly for not having eaten healthy every day of your life," as Gotham Magazine so eloquently put it.

We experienced a strong connection, while caring for one another, which rarely happens among three generations in such a loving and playful way.

Sure we took care of our babushka (grandma in Russian) while having a glorious time picking on each other. It was a very special time and  so meaningful at this point in my life to spend it together with my girls.

The best medicine sometimes is time well spent with those you love most.

Babushka has turned 90 recently and it is increasingly important to create memorable experiences for all of us.

60th Birthday – Let the Good Times Roll

Last month my dear husband gave me the best 60th birthday present - a getaway experience at The Buttermilk Inn,  which included great farm to table dinner, breakfast, lunch and Spa treatments.  You can see some  of the dishes of my celebratory  dinner: Fritz with Truffle oil, fantastic  fresh greens salad with goat cheese, and then Nicholas devouring Ruben sandwich at lunch. Yes, in our raw/vegetarian  family style eating, Ruben sandwich  is a rare treat for my man. It  happens once every three years, and I am happy to share this moment with you.

We all have the most comforting favorite childhood food, for me it is potatoes in any shape/form -the Irish streak in me,  for Nicholas it is famous NYC Ruben.

Our Dr. Dexter, the dog had fabulous time kissing Holly, the donkey every time we passed by the pastures with llamas and donkeys, chasing ducks to the pond or posing with Hudson river on the background.

Golden Milk

I first got the taste of Golden Milk - a healthy drink with many healing properties, especially for endocrine issues at The Raw Food Institute, the place I go four times a year to cleanse with gourmet raw food and green juices and to share the gifts of Reflexology.

The combination of turmeric, honey,  coconut oil, coconut milk and spices is warming, rejuvenating and delicious. I certainly recommend you to make it and taste for yourself.

Curcumin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is the most active constituent of turmeric. It has been shown to improve circulation and estrogen metabolism. In Ayurveda, turmeric is considered an important tool in combating everything from amenorrhea and endometriosis to fibroids and cysts

If you take turmeric as a supplement in a pill form, it will not be well absorbed unless taken with black pepper or piperine, a constituent of black pepper responsible for its pungency.

How to make Golden Milk:  

Step 1: Turmeric Paste: 

Mix three ingredients in a small sauce pan. Turn the heat to medium high and stir constantly until the mixture is a thick paste. This does not take long.  Let this mixture cool and keep it in a small jar in the fridge.

1/4 cup of turmeric powder ~1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper ~1/2 cup of filtered water

Step 2: Golden Milk

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of coconut or almond milk (see my blog on home made almond milk) 
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon of your turmeric paste from fridge
  • Honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Cayenne pepper

Combine first three ingredients in a pot, heat to medium, whisk until fully mixed, do not allow the mixture to boil, add honey, cinnamon, cayenne to taste.

Drink Golden Milk before bed. Sweet healthy dreams!

New tool in my healing practice – Bio Medici Magnetic Pulsar

I recently added a new therapeutic  tool to my  practice - BIO MEDICI Magnetic Pulser.

It is easy to use, effective, practical, no side effects, affordable device supplies the right dose of pulsed magnetic energy to the cells.

It was was developed by world-renowned scientist Dr. Wolfgang Ludwig of Germany. It simulates the life essential Schumann Resonance waves, which are found in the atmosphere and it delivers a broad frequency spectrum of harmoniously and bio-magnetically stimulating impulses.

Here are the  frequencies of  7 switches, Switch 8 is On/Off

Switch 1 =      0.7 Hz -   (1 Hz)
Switch 2 =   1.93Hz -   (2 Hz) 
Switch 3 =   2.86Hz -   (3 Hz)
Switch 4 =   3.85Hz -   (4 Hz)
Switch 5 =   5.13Hz -   (5 Hz)
Switch 6 =   7.14Hz -   (7 Hz)
Switch 7 = 10.64Hz - (11 Hz)

All switches combined = 33 Hz

Frequency tolerance/variations: 5% up to 7%.
The fine variations are very effective in biological terms

Using switch combinations we can achieve a wide variety of therapeutic frequencies.

In my previous blog, see Dec.3, 2014 we already touched on well researched Human Brain Waves, you may have already read this very informative book by Erik Hoffman  "New Brain, New World."

The Human Brain Waves frequencies
Delta sleep waves:  Full Sleep 0.7 Hz -3 Hz
Delta sleep waves are brain waves during sleep, where there is total unawareness
from the mind, and it is not a state reached in hypnosis.

Theta brain waves:  Deep Hypnosis & Meditation 4 Hz -8 Hz
Theta brain waves are associated with deep relaxation, tranquility, and dreams. Theta meditation is sometimes known as the dream state.
The Alpha State:   8 Hz- 13 Hz
In  Alpha state our minds are still alert, but are more relaxed. We are generally more creative in this state of mind, more open to information and imagination. Some hypnotists see this state as the gateway from the conscious into the unconscious mind. The alpha state is an everyday experience for us, whether we are wrapped up in a movie or going into or out of sleep. .
The Beta State:  Full Conciousness 13 Hz-25 Hz
The Beta State is usually experienced in our walking lives. In this state our brains are highly alert, and this is when reasoning and logic are employed.

 

Effects of Electromagnetic Energy on Cellular Activity:

The average frequency in healthy, awake adults is around 10 Hz, usually about 8 Hz up to 10 Hz, in some recorded test results up to 14 Hz, which is considered slightly elevated, but much higher under abnormal circumstances like fear, panic, extreme anxiety, etc…

With 4 Hz there is a stimulation of the so called gray zone of the mid brain to release encephalin, which results in the inhabitation of pain cells in the spinal column via seratonin and nor-adrenalin transmitters.

The blood glucose concentration is lowered with 5 Hz to 6 Hz.

12 Hz to 15 Hz increases blood flow and the supply of oxygen and nutrients via the vascular system. Especially beneficial in peripheral nutritive capillaries.

At 5 Hz enhanced DNA Synthesis.

8 Hz re-balancing and restoring potassium and sodium ions, which enables proper exchange of intra and extra cellular  materials.

At 12 Hz to 19 Hz removal of waste materials via the lymph system.

Effects on the cellular activity were present at 1 Hz , which may have a special influence upon reducing abnormal cellular growth.

For improved cell regeneration and healing, DNA content of cell increased at 4 Hz to 5 Hz.

For inflammation , pain and swelling 2 Hz are especially effective (up to 5 Hz) , also proved to be successful as sleep inducing and calming, as well as 1 Hz.

Stimulation of phagocyte cell production and the autoimmune system has been established with 4 Hz only, which in addition counteracts infections, also as preventative measure.

Many other associated therapeutic benefits have been noted from several thousand medical and scientific papers on magnetic therapy.
Predominantly the positive therapeutic effect on Endorphin, Encephalin, Seratonin and Nor-adrenaline release for inhibiting pain and for increased production of neurotransmitters.

The Bio Medici device incorporates all benefits by sending out the proper frequencies/pulses at specific ranges (individual settings for indicated symptoms ), proper waveforms and specific harmonics (very important) and proper current. 

If you are interested in experiencing it, we can combine it with my hands-on session next time you are in my chair. 

If you want to purchase it for yourself or loved ones, please go to www.biomedici.net  use code IRINA at the checkout to get discounted price and free shipping within US. Price will come to $149. (instead of $169)

 

Caution:
The Bio Medici should not be used by persons with pacemakers, by pregnant women, or after myocardinal infarction. Caution is also advised in those cases where your symptoms should first be examined by a doctor or when additional treatment is required which must not be delayed.

Thriving At 60

My preferred indoor exercise  - cycling the "real ryder" bike at LifeCycle studio on High Ridge Road. You can find me  there 3 to 5 mornings a week. I am turning young 60 this month, and I intent to feel strong and fit for many decades ahead. Please join me at the studio, it is so much FUN! And first class  is FREE.
