What is the Lyme Magnetic Protocol?

Lyme Awareness Month begins this Friday and I'm kicking it off with a blog about the Lyme Magnetic Protocol, a core treatment strategy in my client practice.

Lyme is the most common vector-borne illness in the U.S. According to the Global Lyme Alliance, it's estimated there are over 475,000 new cases each year.

While most people who get Lyme disease fully recover with appropriate treatment, a percentage go on to develop chronic symptoms. For that subset of the population, life can become challenging.

Other culprits and factors may contribute to an entrenched infection and need assessing and addressing. That's when holistic approaches can be of enormous benefit.

I've been working with the Lyme Magnetic Protocol for the last decade and continue to be amazed by its efficacy!

If you, or someone you know, is suffering with symptoms of Lyme, please reach out. There's no need to go it alone. I'd be delighted to help.

Truth. Life is messy!

In the world of energy healing, it's common to hear phrases like 'love and light' or 'high vibes only'. Don't get me wrong – those are wonderful places to sit within yourself.

Yet, in that line of thinking there's a way in which other emotions like 'hate and dark' are sidelined, avoided, negated. They're valid too.

Emotions are simply data points that provide context for responses and decisions that best support you and the life you want to create.

Is it useful to act out of hate, shame, rage? Likely not. Do your more challenging, uncomfortable emotions help you better identify your values and how you want to show up? You bet.

I grew up in a household where difficult emotions were not acknowledged or accepted. In fact, they got shut down pretty damn quick! I carried that invalidation pattern deeply for years after I left home. It colored my relationships and affected my health. Clients commonly arrive in my practice carrying the same pattern.

It's a pattern worth evolving, moving through and beyond. Conscious awareness and acceptance of the full range of your human emotions is a much more aligned way to 'see deeply' as Joseph Campbell put it.

Springtime means my garden begins to grow again. It's my favorite time of year!

It also a time when ticks come out of hibernation.

I'm including a link to my blog about tick bite prevention, being prepared when the little rascals strike, and taking appropriate action should you find one embedded in your flesh.

I hope the information helps you feel more secure and ready to make the most of the upcoming season!

I’ve spent a decade studying holistic treatments for Lyme disease. As most of you know, I follow an approach that I call Magnets and More. Lyme is a complex disease, and it makes sense to treat it through a variety of ways, including detox, gut health, energy clearing and magnets. I love watching ...

Recently I was a guest on a podcast called The Anxious Achiever, hosted by Morra Aarons-Mele, a leading expert on and advocate for mental health in the workplace.

Morra and I discussed how managing and regulating your energy can help high-achieving, anxious professionals foster a sense of calm, presence and empowerment at work.

We talked about how your chakras support you to do and be YOU, how they inadvertently contribute to patterns of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and what to do about it. My kitchen vegetable steamer even makes an appearance!

We finished with a guided meditation to practice a few simple, effective energy regulation skills. There’s an opportunity to download a guided meditation so you can practice on your own. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/energy-is-all-there-is-understand-your-energy-body/id1480904163?i=1000719776032

Holistic healing is about so much more than trying all the alternative therapies out there to address your entrenched physical or emotional issue.

Whether you're new to alternative healthcare or you're an experienced connoisseur, I invite you to consider insights I've gleaned and observations I've made of some important, but often forgotten, intangible factors in the healing process.

It's so important that I've dedicated a section of my website, called Clients Heal, to these topics. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope this perspective is helpful, and I wish you vitality and evolution!

When intuition - either yours or someone else's - is used a resource for finding answers, is it really all it's cracked up to be? Are intuitive hits really a 'holistic' way to make decisions? I've shared my thoughts on this topic in my latest blog for EHI!

Wonder what the difference is between an Intuitive Hit or gut feeling and an Aligned Knowing? One is worthy of suspicion, the other is worth cultivating.

How important is energy hygiene for a practitioner? Very! Read my latest blog for EHI where I discuss the ins and outs of what energy hygiene is and why it's so crucial.

"We take energy hygiene seriously at EHI, because we truly believe that each client deserves to have a session where they are at the center of the work, their practitioner is focused on facilitating a clean, evolutionary experience, and real healing takes place."

How do practitioners keep the treatment space and themselves clear when clients 'dump' their stuff? Energy hygiene is the how, and a hallmark at EHI.
