Everyday Bliss For Women In Leadership

Happy Halloween from Maryam and all the staff at The Maryam Webster Group, Energy Coach Institute, ETHOS Method and Everyday Bliss communities.

We’d like to remind all our clients and friends in the United States to turn your clocks back ONE HOUR on Saturday night, November 1st as the U.S. returns to “standard time” for the winter months.

Check your timezone here: http://timeanddate.com

For those receiving this outside the United States, we have a quaint habit here of colluding in a bit of mass self-hypnosis to  constrain time in aid of squeezing more hours out of the workforce. We “fall back” to normal time on the first day of November.

Happy Fall and Halloween!

What is this thing we call Consciousness?

What is being continually Aware?

What is possible with expansiveness of Presence?

What is:

out of space

out of time

no-dimensional

all-resourceful?

What is the nature of that with no limits?

Uncreate, dissolve and release what binds

Create, empower and amplify what expands

The rose opens, expansiveness beckons

Step within.

This is the essence,

of that we call ETHOS

In preparation for the courses in practical-magic-for-all I’m developing, it’s been important to get the most complex of concepts reduced to the commonest of memes.

“Reducto!” the mage shouts and the dragon shrinks into a gecko.

The above is an attempt to reduce what may seem to be the compex concept of ETHOS into a compact meme, which in olden times might have been referred to as a spell, charm or incantation. These grammatic forms of learning through recitation were all ways of compressing an important amount of wisdom into the smallest most compact space possible for oral teaching - which is how learning was passed for centuries.

ETHOS is something that can and should be taught orally, by talking to people we know. Asking questions is the most powerful form of teaching, because it frees the student to come to their own conclusions, which is an essential part of stepping into Unlimted Self.

What energy, space and consciousness can you be, to share the question of ETHOS today?

Something to wonder about…

Franklin Delano Roosevelt seen at right and commonly referred to as FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States. That’s for the folks who seem to have missed being taught about New Deals I and II, and the Great Depression. I’m finding suprisingly  many who seemed to have skipped this bit of history in school. And while I was not personally alive during the Depression, my parents were. Their generation’s experience formed how I viewed money for most of my life, as it did for many who are alive right now.

And now the same thing is happening again. Many people are finding themselves tweaked by moments of sheer panic, ongoing worry and sudden terror at what’s happening.

FDR’s inauguration on March 4, 1933 occurred in the middle of a bank panic, such as we are experiencing today. Banks closing right and left and no idea if or when they’d be opening again. Folks losing their houses, mass weirdness ensuing.

Upon this backdrop, FDR uttered these ten famous words:

"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself".

The full quote, from the first paragraph of his inaugural address is this:

"..This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance…"

Unjustified terror. Unjustified.

Do you hear that part of the speech? Roosevelt is absolutely right. Fear never grew a crop or fattened a wallet. Fear on this level just consumes your available energy and ties up the rest in paralysis.

I’ve heard this clip played countless times and prefer to believe that FDR believed what he was saying, and spoke from his deep knowing that the world always turns around again and new opportunities present themselves. FDF had a distinctive voice, and it roused rich and poor to rally ’round their communities, and make the present better than all perceived it was.

We are not in a Depression, though many have labelled it that. In the 1920’s, there was a real economic downturn, marked by its term "The Great Depression". Great sections of the prairieland midwest turned into dusty deserts as agricultural conditions too deteriorated, and crops could not be grown - the economic vying with the geological and climatic to provide an experience of total disaster. People starved to death. Entire families in this society perished, or were forced to debase themselves for food at any price.

Read Steinbeck’s Of Mice And Men for a candy-coated version. "Candy-coated" was what my mother said (snorted) when I brought the book home from high school English to find Mom making Snickerdoodles. "Steinbeck my foot!" Mom fumed "That wasn’t the half of it honey, not the half of it. That’s the candy-coated version." She continued to pat cookies into measured rounds, but this time with a vengeance that flatted them to cinnamon-sugar shingles. And refused to say more of what she had witnessed.

We are at most in 2008, in a "mini-Depression". People are making some difficult choices, but the average family is not on the brink of imminent starvation, though many have lost their homes.

And many of us are succumbing to fear about it. But fear never helped grow a tomato, furnish a house, baked a cookie or put money in the bank.

How long do you want to hold onto your fears? How is holding on to that energy working for you?

Are you willing to let go of fear - now?

If so, I’ve created a technique to help you do that: The ETHOS Method. Click this link to go there, pick up your copy of the entire method - free. And if you already know and practice ETHOS, bring up that fear that current events bring up in you, and pulse your triple cue.

Uncreate, dissolve and release.

When you download the pdf and hang out in our community and listen to the free audios (and soon videos!) we have, you’ll get all the updates automatically, by mail.

One of the things coming up is a teleclass to get past your fear of financial weirdness, or anything else. I’ll be posting more about that soon. Until then, enjoy the deep peace that ETHOS brings.

And take a cookie. Wholewheat or gluten-free.

By the time you’ve finished eating it, you’ll remember that being afraid of things that haven’t even happened yet is kind of silly.

And you’ll remember that you feel pretty good, after all.

Breast cancer survivor Kris Hart, right, vice president of global brand management at (casino operator) Harrah’s Entertainment, was still breastfeeding when she found out she had breast cancer. In this month’s Pink Magazine email, Taylor Mallory interviews Kris. Here are a couple of relevant highlights:

Hart’s Advice for Breast Cancer Newbies

1. DO take a breath and come up with a plan. The cancer has probably been in you for years, so you can wait a week.

2. DON’T make emotional decisions about your care. Get all the info you can before you make a decision.

3. DO surround yourself with people who don’t make you feel like a victim.

4. DON’T be afraid to ask for support. Your friends and family want to help.

Hart also adds her greatest challenge dealing with chemo:

"I have always had an innate sense of organization in my head. Since the chemo, and even now as it’s still in my system, I’m fuzzy. I can’t retain things, and I’m not as quick as I used to be. I can’t remember names as readily as I could. That’s really frustrating."

Maryam’s Note: Kris Hart, if you’re out there reading this, please check out the energy therapies (no drugs, no needles, no hassle, easy to learn and practice) like ETHOS, EFT and ZPoint to help "get your brain back". This involves the energy in your body, not in a box or machine. You’re using the natural energy an acupuncturist manipulates by putting needles in the body, only with the new energy therapies, you only tap on the acupoints, hold them gently and breathe, or use the energy solely in your mind. No gadgets or drugs needed!

Anyone dealing with fuzziness like this can regains clarity by practicing a couple of simple exercises to synch the hemispheres of your brain back up. Go to my page on that here:

http://maryamwebster.com/stressrelief

Do every exercise on the page, especially the Cross Crawl. This highlights part of the Bliss Coaching Process that is laid out in full in my book, Everyday Bliss For Busy Women.

PINK asks: How can colleagues help when a co-worker has cancer?

Kris Hart: "Be specific about how you want to help. Everyone says, "I’m here for you." But very few people will ever take you up on that. So say, "I’d like to bring dinner for you on Wednesday." Also recognize it’s not only the physical victim but the whole family that needs support. Someone called my husband to go have drinks. He was thrilled to get away too."

Maryam’s Note: I’ll second the "be specific" part. When Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in the 90’s she deteriorated rapidly, and the community troups were marshalled to provide friendly visits for she and Dad. The best visit they had was after dinner one Tuesday evening from Bill Hall, a buddy of Dad’s from Rotary Club. Though Bill offered, Mom refused to let him go into the kitchen and get her usual offering of lemonade and cookies - it was important for HER to "do for" visitors as long as she was able.

Bill visited with the family for awhile, drank his lemonade and nibbled his cookies, chatting easily on a variety of topics. The ease with which he carried on conversation soon put Mom and Dad at ease. They reported during this time feeling pressed to entertain people and alleviate their discomfort with Mom’s cancering*, which only caused them to feel more stressed and tense after friendly visits than not. Bill’s visit was a welcome exception, doubly so because of what he did next.

After a polite amount of time had passed, Bill said to Dad: "Charlie, get your coat. You’re coming out bowling with me and the boys, and I won’t take no for an answer." Dad didn’t bowl, but he was too much of a gentleman to refuse such a public invitation. He went, had an excellent time, and Bill managed to wheedle him into coming to the "boys night out" from then on. It got him out of the house, Mom had a peaceful evening once a week to do as she liked, and Dad had a place to blow off steam and "be a regular fellow" as he put it. That’s important, and it was the best present a friend could have given him at this sensitive and crucial point in his life.

It doesn’t have to be a whole-hog fancy evening, any level of attention and caring is good. Just be there.

* Cancering - Using the word "Cancering" creates a gerund, or non-finite verb form out of the noun, cancer. When you add the "-ing" to a word that is so definite, so negatively final, it transforms the disease into a process which can have a positive end - the disease process ends, but you go on. This is a form that I take from the teachings of Master NLP Health Coach, Suzi Smith, who reports that this simple linguistic change brings empowerment back into the equation for those living with this disease process.

In surveying holistic health blogs, I often meet really cool people. One I had the good fortune to meet this week is a Kripalu Yoga teacher and registered nurse, Judi England. She blogs over at TimesUnion, and I want to bring your attention to a great post she made on a five-step relaxation process.

Here’s the meat of the method, though you really should get over to her blog and read it all (the post itself is on cultivating Presence) and check her archives as well as DO this wonderful relaxation method. It can only take a few minutes to go from stressed to blissed.

The more relaxed you are, the more Conscious you are. And I love how this BRFWA process brings great consciousness to the entire system.

From: http://blogs.timesunion.com/holistichealth/?p=306

…Known as BRFWA (pronounced,” brifwah”) - the acronym stands for a five-step process - BREATHE, RELAX, FEEL, WATCH, ALLOW.   Alternatively known as “The Practice of Being Present”,  BRFWA can help me make a shift from tension back to relative ease, from the worries of “what if?” to the management of “what is.”

Here’s how to move through the steps:

1. BREATHE-  Most of our worries link us to the past or the future.  The breath happens minute by minute, entirely in the present.  At the first experience of strong sensations, thoughts or emotions most people find that their breath gets shallow - or even stops temporarily. It’s a common reaction.  To notice when that happens, and reestablishing a steady rhythm of breath can  bring us back into the solid ground of the body and the moment.
2. RELAX - Regular abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing  instantly begins to reverse the stress response.  It’s simply the way we humans are wired.  When stress begins to diminish we can read a current situation and it’s reality more clearly.
3. FEEL - With body calmer and mind less clouded with tension we can begin to  feel what’s really going on.  We can begin to response to actual events rather than react to our fears and imaginings.
4. WATCH- Nothing in life is permanent. Sensations get weaker, stronger, move, or dissolve.  So do emotions. Thoughts are our own creations and can bear little connection to reality.  We love to believe our thoughts and sometimes nothing is more misleading. With the first three steps in place, we can “Watch” the process of impermanence and choose actions that fit each situation as it comes up.
5. ALLOW - Without self-criticism, self-judgment, or creating a”story” about why things are the way they are - we just let everything exist - good bad or indifferent.  We stay right here, in the present.  We know that we don’t have to handle everything at once - just the next thing.

A simple practice - absolutely. An easy practice - not always.  But, like any other behavior we want to include in our life, the more we use it, the better we get at it.

My suggestion is to try it first when stress is mild-moderate.  Don’t wait till red-alert sets in. ( Just like preparation for childbirth - you don’t start when the contractions do!) Try it at home. Teach it to your kids.  Share it with your friends.  Do it at work and make your co-workers wonder what you’re up to.

Try it and make your own personal contribution to world peace - or at least peace in your own corner of the world.

For Breast Health Awareness Month and also each month out of the year - do you know how to do your monthly breast self-exam?

Review the self-check procedure and what to look for here:

http://snipurl.com/breastexam

When I spoke of this to a group of women in business at a recent talk I gave, it was pointed out by one of the ladies present:  "The body is a temple, sure, but not every woman wants to feel up her own breasts! I’m religious and I don’t think that’s "nice" for a woman to do."

And now for a reality check….would whatever god you worship want you to be neglectful of this temple that is your body? Or to suffer a disease you may not have if you check yourself and catch changes early? Average of nine months earlier than doctor exams, by the way.

YOU are your own best breast health advocate!

And to go along with your implication of immorality - no, this is not sexually oriented "feeling up".

While you can certainly enjoy the process yourself or even involve your partner for extra fun (why not? if it makes sure you get the job done, go ahead!) a monthly breast self-exam is a purposed, focused fact finding mission.

So please, religious ladies of all sects and everyone else, click the link above and learn how to give yourself a proper breast self-exam.

Once a month. It’s What Nice Girls Do.

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. ALL MONTH LONG, I’M GOING TO FEATURE BREAST HEALTH TIPS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BREASTS TODAY! AWARENESS IS A BREAST’S BEST FRIEND

Hi Folks,
I’ve met a lot of women in the last few months who are terrified of getting mammograms, even though breast disease is in their families. My mother, grandmother and aunt had breast cancer. My mom died of it as did my husband’s mother. Breast disease is not going to be my experience. I am proactive in maintenance of breast health: I do the breast health tapping routine from page 28 of The ETHOS Method manual every single day, monthly breast checks and I get regular mammograms and thermograms (another form of diagnostic that looks at heat patterns in the breast).

At right is a mammogram of a normal breast. Isn’t it beautiful? The wireframe of nurture, revealed.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer on October 1st, 1990 and that’s when I always go in, to honor her. Coincidentally, this is the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month so I’m kicking off my own personal awareness campaign by telling you about my mammogram and bust some myths about the procedure in the process.

I got my mammogram today, and while I wasn’t allowed today to video my thoughts through the procedure, did a lot of video around that and breast health in general that you’ll see here soon. I am also working with hospital administrators to videotape real mammography in the future to help women lose their fear about getting mammograms, which is very exciting. Stay tuned for that.

Bustin’ Mammo Myths

It’s real important as we all travel this journey of life, that we not be afraid of things. Fear is an old patterned response that taps into that limbic system in the brain I talk about in the ETHOS manual. It can save our lives when we’re in actual physical danger, but most of the time today, fear is mis-triggered and mis-fires on a consistent basis, running our lives instead of letting us flow easily through events. If you are thinking about something in the future and getting a fear response - that’s a mis-trigger that you might want to eliminate. There’s an old acronym floating around about that too: Fear really means "Future Expectations Appearing Real". Fear of the future is kind of silly when you look at it because you’re upset about something that hasn’t even happened yet. Waste of energy!

ETHOS is one of many methods that can help you deal with fear, and come through the doorway fear is, to the Unlimited Self. BTW, Unlimited Selves don’t have breast disease or any other kind of dis-ease. Unlimited Self is the personification OF "ease" in every sense. Ease and joy and beauty in all ways. Let’s bust some of the myths about mammograms and learn a little bit about what goes on:

1) "I DON’T stink, and don’t want people to think I do"
I want to tell women who may be afraid of this procedure - don’t be. The worst thing that happened was that I had to not wear deodorant or powder under my armpits for two days. This can put a lot of women off, as they don’t want to stink. I am sensitive to scent and didn’t want to offend others, so I kept alcohol wipes (in America, one brand is HandiWipes) in my purse and dabbed my armpits through the day for two days prior to my mammogram. Problem solved and the alcohol both kills scent-producing bacteria, then evaporates so no residue is left. If you can’t find such wipes wherever you live, simply fill a plastic bag with cotton balls, pour a little rubbing alcohol in the bag and dab armpits with cotton balls. Works just as well.

Caveat: Don’t use perfume or cologne as the oils in these kinds of scent can irritate the delicate underam skin.

So me and my deodorant-free armpits went to the hospital xray department, filled out a short form and sat maybe five mintes waiting to be sent to the dressing room to put my hospital gown on. Everyone was so nice - they know women can be a little nervous and do their very best to put you at ease. Some women even brought a girlfriend, sister, daughter or mom with them for moral support. This is not only permitted, but encouraged. If you’re feeling a little shaky, bring a buddy, by all means.

2) "Don’t Pressure Me"
The second thing I hear women saying they don’t want to experience is the pinching they’ve heard happens when the breast is put between the two plastic plates of the mammogram machine. The breast needs to be compressed as thinly as possible so as to produce the highest contrast to show up any abnormalities, so a machine gently squeezes the breast tissue between these plates. Ladies, my girls are "D" cup sized (for the gents reading this: a handful and a half) and while I felt this pressure, it was only very slightly intense and didn’t hurt a bit.

Some women do feel discomfort. This may be because the breasts are congested. If you do the "Triple Thump Plus" tapping routine outlined in the AM Energizers on page 28 of the ETHOS manual, the energy and fluids pervading your breasts will flow easily releasing congestion. This is one I do EVERY DAY, and it’s my thought that this will lessen any potential for an uncomfortable experience. Here’s that routine again from The ETHOS Method manual:

The Triple Thump PLUS - For general health, wellness and to put on "immune system defense" armor, vigorously tap your Kidney-27 Collarbone points 7 - 10 times, your Thymus 7 - 10 times and your Liver-14 Under Breast points 7 - 10 times. This is the “traditional” Triple Thump from Touch For Health and Educational Kinesiology. I add to this thumping on the Underarm Spleen-21 Points and gentle circular rubbing on the “Sore Spot” – the upper chest neurolymphatic drainage point. This routine circles the breasts and helps to keep them healthy in addition to conditioning and fine-tuning your energy to do what you need it to. Do this sequence three times in all.

3) "I’m afraid to go in because I just don’t know what’s going to happen"
So here’s what happens and thanks to the folks at the National Institute for Mental Health (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17085.htm) for the picture of "Bucky", the mammogram machine. This will help you better understand  what I’m describing below.

I waited in a waiting area probably five minutes after disrobing from the waist up and putting on a hospital gown. Then I was invited into the mammography room and untied the top of the hospital gown. The female technician lifted the tissue of my right breast, pulled it out slightly from my body, and placed it on the horizontal lower plate holding the xray film. An upper plastic plate called a "paddle" then automatically descended and judging the right amount of pressure, pressed the tissue as thin as it would comfortably go, then locked the breast into place. As I mentioned, this felt odd, but did not hurt. Then as soon as it was locked, the technician popped behind the little booth, pressed a button, I heard a "ZZzzzt" of the picture being taken and the upper plastic paddle immediately released my breast. Then we did the same procedure to the other side.

That full set of pictures in the upright position took less than three minutes. Then a second set of pictures was done, with the machine rotated at a 50 degree angle to radiograph the side of the breast. I wondered how the heck my breast was going to fit between the two plates with the thing at an angle like this.

The technician told me to drape my inside arm over the top of the machine which pulled all the breast tissue upward. Then she held the breast against the plate while the top plastic paddle came down to compress the tissue. Once the paddle was touching the top of the breast tissue, she let go as it began to gently compress the breast, telling me to keep my shoulders back. Then she popped ’round the control booth again, "ZZzzzt" went the machine and bingo-bango, the right side was done. The same process was done with the left breast.

This set of films took about five minutes for both breasts. So all in all, I was in the mammography room for less than ten minutes.

4) "There’s so much radiation in an xray, I’ve heard you can GET breast cancer from a mammogram. It’s probably not good for me."
This is an belief I hear when women know someone who has had regular mammograms for years, then have a mammogram which finds a tumor. The logic in this conclusion is faulty and fear-driven. As I said above, please work on your fear using ETHOS or any other method you like. Mammograms find tumors, that’s their job. But these tumors are only visible on mammograms after several years of growth. Monthly self-checks are the best way to know your breasts and track their changes. If you have a mammogram, there’s a chance it will, yes, find a tumor.  But would you rather know, or not know?

One school of thought in the alternative health community is thermograms, then sonograms, then and only if suspicious areas are found, mammograms to pinpoint the area of a tumor or cyst. I asked my body and it told me to get a mammogram. Personally I don’t do this every year a mammo is due, as my body seems to prefer thermograms. This year it was relevant.  Ask your body and learn to interpret its language so you can do what’s best for you.

And the jury may still be out in the alternative health community, but the radiation in a mammogram comes at such a low dose, they don’t make you wear a lead apron, as it doesn’t penetrate further than the plate below the breast holding the xray film. The techician clued me that people sometimes think digital xrays are lower in dose, which actually isn’t correct. She told me that people tend to think this as digital xrays, not using traditional film, tend to have a lower rate of the need to repeat an xray due to faulty breast positioning, but the dose of radiation is very slightly higher than a traditional film xray.

If you’re worried about the dose of radiation in a mammogram, it is very, very low. And there are many proactive things you can do to help your body detox the radiation as well. I’m a great veggie eater, but for a week prior to my mammo, I greatly increased my intake of ground flax seeds, sea greens, sprouts of all kinds and deep green leafy vegetables. I also took mild colon tonifying herbs to make sure I was processing bodily waste out of the body extremely regularly. Today I’ll increase that dose very slightly so I am having several bowel movements a day, and keep that up for a total of three days before going off the colon tonic herbs.

By the way, two bowel movements or more a day is normal - many people do not know this. My acupuncturist, chiropracter and doctor are all in favor of having three or more. If you’re trying to detoxify the body, increase your bowel movements by eating leafy green roughage, fruits (dried fruits are great for this), sauerkraut, or other vegetables, and drink lots and lots of water. Your local health food store will have information on herbs that tonify the bowels. Consult a reliable herbal such as Michael Tierra’s The Way of Herbs or John Lust’s venerable The Herb Book for instructions, and always do so in consultation with your healing practitioner.

When I need to have an xray, I continue this bowel stimulating regimen for a week following the radiation, just to make sure I’m supporting my body through its detox process. If this doesn’t appeal to you, simply eat a lot of salads and raw veggies, and drink lots and lots of water. Going to the toilet is a sacred thing, don’t be afraid of it. Better to go, and get the poisons out of the building.

5) "Do they just leave you in the hall after the mammogram? What happens when the picture-taking is all over?"
After your mammogram, you’ll be told to stay in your hospital gown in a waiting area until a technician can look at the films. Please understand they are not READING the films for abnormalities, and you WON’T get a diagnosis then, on the spot. They’re looking for mistakes in the way the breast was positioned, to know if they need to go back in and take another film or not. This usually takes less than five minutes, and you’ll then be told you can put your clothes on and go home, or to come back for one more picture.

If you ask real nice (I did) they’ll let you look at your films but do NOT ask them to interpret the mammogram for you - a radiological technician cannot do this by law, even if they see something their experience tells them may look suspicious. They can’t tell you, so please don’t badger them. DO take the chance if you can, to look at the films of your breasts. This is greatly instructional and also very validating and life-affirming. I found myself fascinated looking at the intricacy of little hairline veins and tissue criss-crossing the breast - it was a beautiful network of nurture personified, and reaffirmed my womanliness to me. This journey of the mammogram can be greatly reinforcing of your femininity. Celebrate your breasts!!

6) "I’m so nervous! I’ve been waiting for over a week after my mammogram and haven’t heard from my doctor. Is this a bad thing?" Your doctor will be sent the films along with a qualified radiologist’s interpretation within a week - more if the lab is backed up with more films to process than staff to process them. While you’re at the mammography office, ask what the general processing time is if you want to know. You will be given your results and diagnosis if any from your doctor’s office, within a few weeks. I was told if there is something really wrong, they flag your films and you’re notified even sooner. So no news is probably good news if you’re waiting for that call or in my case, the card in the mail telling you what’s what. I was also told by a hospital representative, that this particular hospital made a point of personal phone calls to women whose breasts showed suspicious spots, so the doctors and technicians are making sure you are notified as soon as possible.

My trip in and out of the mammogram took less than 45 minutes. I was on the street an hour later and having lunch with a girlfriend. We celebrated our breast health together by doing a public demonstration and teaching of the Triple Thump Plus to six ladies who were in the same restaurant. We’d all waited in line together and fell to discussing mammograms.

My friend is an energy healer so we were comparing our two breast health routines. These six ladies heard and wanted in on the action. Then three more joined us, plus a couple of the waitresses and one of the cooks who came out from the back to see what the commotion was. Nearly all of these women had a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother or friend stricken by breast disease and all were desperate to know how to prevent it. In all we taught twelve women how to care for their breasts, so my promise to my Mom, to help other women to breast health was more than fulfilled on "Mammogram Day".

Please teach ETHOS and the Triple Thump Plus to everyone you know. Even men can get breast cancer, so everyone needs to be doing this routine. See above for the method which surrounds the breast with tender loving care, and drains toxins away from the breast tissue. I hope this has been instructional and helpful to you. Please feel free to pass this post in its entirety to anyone you know of that has any fear of going in for a breast check up or mammogram. It’s something as women that I feel we owe ourselves, and one form of love we can give our bodies.
