Personal Update & The body's ability to self-heal Just wanted to take a moment to give a personal update. I really enjoy being able to connect with the people who took the time to subscribe to my newsletter. My intent is to write more and share more via my blog. Writing is something I’ve been doing since I was a young girl. I would write letters and that turned into writing poetry. I have a lot of older poetry, but not much new material. I've even had one of my poems published. I've also written songs that I have recorded as well. Now, let's get back to that update. Life has been pretty busy for me these days. I am hopeful to start back writing soon. I would like to set aside some time to be in the space of writing and see what comes up. I don’t like to force things if it isn’t there, but when it flows, I will share. On another note, I started a tutoring business about 2 ½ years ago. In August, it will be three years since I decided to start my own tutoring business. While I do really enjoy tutoring students, it’s been somewhat challenging to keep up with EK5 and Smart Flex Tutoring. I've been looking to expand the tutoring business, but I know if that happens it will take me further away from EclectiK5. That is something I don’t want to happen. EclectiK5 is my baby. It’s my calling. It comes naturally, because it’s linked to years of personal experiences, studying, certifications, and exploration into various forms of healing for the whole body. A lot of how I live my life and the choices I make, come from a place of knowing and experiencing. With that being said, EK5 will continue on and so will Smart Flex Tutoring at this time. I can’t promise that won’t ever change, but for now I am here and ready to renew Eclectik5healing. This will all take place in baby steps. So, your patience is greatly appreciated. As the years go by, I continue to download new experiences, information, and truths. It becomes clearer to me that just when you think you know, you realize what you thought you knew and studied wasn’t the unadulterated truth. I’m not one to keep on be-lie-ving and regurgitating information that is outdated or untrue. Even if it means I have to redo my business or change the ways in which I offer my services. Diving deeper into the body, nutrition, healing, the brain, and such, has left me questioning some of the things I’ve been taught. In regard to things such as the chakras, proper nourishment for the body, and how the body works. Moving forward, my sound and energy therapy services will focus more on frequencies, sound, and what resonates for the individual opposed to specific chakras. Yes, I am familiar with the chakras and have studied them extensively on my own and through certification courses. Unfortunately, a lot of the information we are taught about them is what has been added on to the original notion of there being energetic centers or portals within the body. Simplicity is reigning true these days. My intuition tells me that things weren’t so complicated to explain or do. Science has its place, but we cannot deny the great lengths that have been taken to ensure we keep believing in everything we’re told, without stopping to question or do our own research. Which is ironic, because this is the very thing science is about- researching, evaluating, questioning the narratives we are given. I say all of this to say that there will be changes you will see in the services I offer. These changes will be gradual and look more like baby steps than sudden overhauls. There are older and outdated perspectives I must shed, to make room for new uploads. I have gotten used to this, and the best thing I can do for you is to offer you services and products that resonate with the truth. I will not keep following paths, guidelines, or science that is only offering one side of the story. I think it's best we know all perspectives and see things as they really are. There’s a lot that we can know and there is also a lot we don’t know - and all of this is okay. On another note, I would like to ask you a question. Do you wholeheartedly be-lie-ve the body can self-heal? If so, I would encourage you to ponder as to why dis-ease exists within the body and what it means. If the body has the ability to self-heal, what is dis-ease? Why are we constantly taking antibiotics, supplements, herbal supplements etc to “heal” ourselves? How do we support the body in the healing process? These are all questions we have to ask ourselves. How did we get here? It is important to reach back in time and discover things such as when the medical industry was established, when birthing in hospitals became normal and why, when the food pyramid took off, when the idea of viruses came into place, are vaccines really effective or necessary, when the vegetarian/vegan diet was introduced. Just about everything has a timeline of some sort. When you go back in time and look at the timeline of these things you will begin to see when the shift happened and how we got to the place we are at now in regard to our overall health and lifestyle choices. We must not forget the accountability factor. We have to hold ourselves accountable for our overall health. I would also like to be very clear about where I stand in regard to these things. First, what you do with YOUR life is YOUR choice. I want to make that very clear. I am not into trying to persuade anyone to do, try, or be, anything. What I am doing, is sharing perspectives, truths, and information that goes otherwise unnoticed in a society that feeds off of our ignorance. There is a lot of programming that has been done and a lot of deprogramming that has to happen. A lot of what we think we don’t know isn’t because we can’t, it’s because we are choosing not to know. Whole body health acknowledges the role that our thoughts, actions, emotions, trauma, radiation, toxins, and our mental state play in our overall health. If in fact our bodies are capable of self-healing, that means that all dis-ease is intentional, serves a purpose, and tells a story. This means we have the power and ability to rewrite our story as it relates to our health. It means the body knows what it is doing. It means when awareness is brought to what emotion or idea is linked to dis-ease, the body can begin to heal. This isn’t magic, it’s science. When we nourish our body, bring awareness to our emotions, begin to make some lifestyle changes, and support our healing - we heal. The question then becomes how do we tune into our body? How do we listen to what our dis-ease is trying to tell us? Then, how do we take the necessary actions to support it along the way? This is all doable and all possible. In a later post, we will dive deeper into the processes of the body and some of the lies we’ve been sold about who we are and our capacity to heal ourselves. We will also take a look at health from an energetic and frequency standpoint. Well, thank you for tuning in to this message. Feel free to take a look at the services and products I offer via www.eclectik5healing.com. Also, a special thanks to all who have taken the time to subscribe to my newsletter! I am grateful and intend to take more time connecting with all of you. Be well and talk soon. Remember, your body doesn’t make mistakes. It wants to heal you. How you choose to support it - matters. In Tune, Cha’ron

I can already see improvement on my hand from using St. John’s wort oil. It feels amazing and keeps my skin moisturized for quite some time. My favorite part about this oil is that it was made using the solar infused method. Which involves letting the herbs saturate in the oil for 4-8 weeks (in my case longer) and then straining the oil. The remaining product is a potent herbal infused oil made in organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. This oil also sat on an energy disc to further enhance its healing properties. This makes for a potent oil made with love, intention, and calming energy. Now I know some of you may have never heard of St.John’s Wort oil . So, let’s briefly chat about this oil and its many benefits. St John’s wort oil can be used topically to treat a variety of things, and this is exactly what I have been using it for. It treats anything from mild burns, wounds, inflamed areas, varicose veins, and bruises. Rumor has it, it has also been traditionally used for centuries, not only for its healing properties but also for treating nerve pain, including neuralgia and sciatica. The wonders of this oil don’t stop there! It also has emotional and energetic uses such as anti-depressant and mood lifting properties. It can also help with abnormal physical weakness, lack of energy, and seasonal effective disorder. It may also help relieve tension and stress, while increasing mental clarity. Purchase Here

My mother made her unexpected transition at the end of 2018; it rocked my world. I was 8 months pregnant with Niko and teaching full-time. I can recall driving to Cleveland with my sister to see her at rehab after having back surgery. We were so excited to see her and hoped she would come home soon. We arrive d home only to discover she had passed away while we were driving. Talk about shock. There are no words to describe that moment. What started out as a 3–4-day trip to be with our mother turned into a 1–2-week trip of planning for her memorial. It was exhausting and so surreal. Our daughter Layla was flying back to see her and ride home with us. I was dreading picking her up from the airport only to tell her “Grandma passed away.” She was heartbroken, as we all were. She ended up with a flare-up that had her in a wheelchair when we finally left to go home after the funeral. I knew it was the stress and grief that caused it. We were all so very heart broken. My mother meant so much to so many people and she was the backbone of our family. She had a presence and energy that was very calming and reassuring. I had no idea what life would look like without her. She told me one of the reasons she was getting the surgery was so she could still hold and be active with her grand babies. After all, she was a great grandmother. Very involved and present with all of my births and all of them. Yet, I knew life had to go on. I was 8 months pregnant, still working, and still had 4 other children to care for. My husband, Mark, was there for support and I’m not sure what I would’ve done without him. What I do know is that I had no idea of how to grieve the unexpected loss of my mother while also welcoming the expected arrival of Niko. I remember sharing this with one of the midwives. My heart was shaken, but I knew staying healthy in the midst of his arrival was of the utmost importance. As the weeks went on, I cried. A lot. I cried at my Dr.’s appt, I cried for no apparent reason sometimes. I would’ve been outside in nature, but I ended up spending a lot of time home due to sciatica pain leading up to Niko’s birth. I had an amazing birth. Niko was born with a true knot in his cord, and I couldn't help but wonder if my mother passing away had to happen for him to be born. You see, true knots are rare, and babies often don’t make it due to the knot pulling on the cord and cutting off oxygen to the baby. He never was active inside of me and now I know why. If he would’ve been doing too much in there he might not be here. (Now he won’t keep still) After his birth, it took me a while to recover. I was in great shape and health when I got pregnant with him, but I gained a lot of weight with him. (He was the biggest of them all over 8 pounds) I was also still grieving. So, we ate out a lot and I didn’t work out like I normally would’ve. I went back to work 4 months after he was born. Although, I 1000 percent wasn’t ready too. You see, life goes on. But, for me life was at somewhat of a standstill. I went through the motions, but there was this huge piece of me that was still in a state of shock. I went to counseling but didn’t even stay in that too long. The sessions I went to were helpful, but it became a lot with everything else we had going on. It was sometime towards the summer and fall of 2019 that I began to play my singing bowls more often. I would grab a singing bowl, go to the park, and just play. This time outdoors playing my bowls became a sanctuary for me. I started having midnight sessions at home as well. People would walk by at the lake and tell me thank you for playing. I miss those moments. This is also around the time I decided to resign from my job, attend midwifery school, and start eclectik5healing. I resigned in December of 2019. Right before Niko was turning one. Looking back, I can now speak to how sound therapy has impacted my life and assisted with grief. Since my mother's passing, there have been several more very important people in my life that have transitioned. Some a little older and some still rather young. Yet, in the midst of it all, I am still here. More importantly, I am healthy and in sound mind. At that time, I wasn't aware that every session was healing me. Every sound, every frequency, every tuning fork, drumming session, and every tear shed while doing it, was a release of some sorts. I recall a family member asked me if I thought it helped (because they thought it did from observing) and I hadn’t really thought about it. I wasn't doing it for results. I was doing it, because I felt guided to. After much reflection I know it is a resounding yes! There is something about frequencies and sound that realigns, grounds, and centers you. I am so grateful for the first singing bowl I ever bought at a store right around the corner from my mom’s house. I used to play singing bowls and read about frequency healing in her basement. Little did I know that moment was preparing me for what was yet to come. I know from experience sound therapy has the ability to assist in healing the body and mind. The ability to assist with grief, anxiety, and that feeling of being overwhelmed. I know, because it did just that for me. Every ring, every tune, and every tear shed was healing me in ways I could’ve never imagined. All of this happened without my awareness that it was taking place. At that time, I wasn't doing it for healing. I was doing it, because I wanted to and enjoyed it. I was outdoors playing at the lake-just because. No strings attached, deadlines to make, counseling sessions, or clients to get. Just me, nature, and sound. Sometimes, I think we make healing way more complicated than it has to be. Our body will guide us towards what is necessary for our healing. All we have to do is listen. The best advice I can give is to tune into you. In Tune, Cha’ron๐Ÿ’•
