LOVE the unfiltered truth and curiosity from kids. It is just my favorite thing! Sounds like so much fun. Reach out about those arthritic knees... I might be able to help :)

You can help with my knees? How?

I’m practicing as a healer with a modality that I heard in the whispers. I teach people self healing and how the body wants to release . For your knees- start with soaking your feet. Most of our toxic/inflammation gets caught in the body and is trying to get out but the exit point is blocked. The reason the feet get hot and hard and stinky- they are trying to release the build up from the hips down.

Rosemary, salt and warm water and soak the feet for 15 min a day- it will soften and open the feet and start to pull or drain some of the built up heat/toxins etc. Once the “exit” is open. Then the blockages, density, calcification and inflammation have a path to make their way out. Then we can break up the stuck stuff along the natural draining points so the body can flush it. I’ve helped many many people walk again who have arthritis and osteo issues. No medication. just letting the body heal using it’s own mechanisms. It's basically opening the body (from being subconsciously or repetitively closed off and densified/contracted)

Use the breath (I teach specific breathing techniques) to pump the blood - more full of oxygen so it's full of lifeforce/chi. Without breath we die in 3 min. and it’s the key ingredient to helping the body be vibrant, alive AND to heal it. I can do online sessions to help guide you with stretches, touch point, visualization and breath. I can tune into the pains of others, feel them personally and then channel underlying energy that gets caught. Hard to explain that part as well. but people find it helpful. and is one of my funny little sensitivities. But wanted to give you a starting point. Part of my pause is to structure this information and make it more available .

This was awesome and fun. Things kids say ! Wasn’t there a tv show on that. One comment brought this memory of mom 😇 and my sister 😇. When my sister was quite young, like pre-kindergarten my mom was on the phone with someone. She heard yelling coming from the bathroom. Mom put the phone down, looked into the bathroom and burst into laughter. There my little sister in the bowl, legs and arms out flailing yelling “Don’t flush it - don’t flush it !”.

Somebody’s strange story or comment triggering a similar memory for someone else. Thanks C.J. 😊

Hahahaha, that was funny, Ken! Your poor little sister!

I think the show you are thinking of was Art Linkletter’s “Kids say the Darnedest Things”. I used to watch it with my parents once in a while.

That was it. Just a little before my time. I was too young to understand it. But I do remember Linkletter.

It was a fun show. You can probably catch some clips of the show on YouTube.

Thank you so much, Deborah. I’m really sorry you also have the knees. Were you a tomboy, too?

Hi C.J. :) No, I had a snow-ski accident (blowing out my right knee) while I was just beginning to work in the photography industry at 39 yrs old. I leaned on the “good knee” for over 20 years - however, prior to that I was a lifelong dancer. During the exam for my ski accident, the drs kept asking me what else I had done in my life. They said my knees were like balls of yarn! I manage with really good cbd oil :)

Oooo that sounds so painful! I hope the oil continues to do its job for you. I also hope arthritis doesn’t move in … that’s really nasty!

hugs

Oh I’m the Arthritis Queen! I’ve written about it - but the Medterra non-THC straight CBD oil has made a tremendous difference. I have avoided knee replacements. Thank you! Hugs back at you. ox
