Mary’s Quick Tip for July:
Gratitude is a magnet for goodness!
“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
–Melody Beattie, author and journalist
Each day, write down one specific thing for which you are grateful in your life. Don't just think about it... actually write it down - this is important! As you write, give thanks to the universe and feel a warmth and joy spreading deep within your belly. Relish this wonderful feeling of sincere gratitude while you hold your breath for several seconds each day. When you put your attention on things for which you are grateful, you will find the seeds of goodness growing and blooming inside your mind as you continue to draw more goodness unto yourself!
Why hold your breath?
When you hold your breath, you really get the attention of your subconscious mind, and your brain opens itself in astionishingly powerful ways. Your body needs oxygen to survive, and if you cut off the normal flow of oxygen to your brain cells, your brain goes on alert. Essentially what happens is the subconscious mind temporarily puts other tasks on hold - tasks that are a lower priority to survival than the urgent need for oxygen - and says to the conscious mind "What's going on???" This creates a powerful opportunity for the conscious mind to update the subconscious with thoughts of gratitude, love, peace, and other positive emotions.
Have you ever noticed how people often will gasp or hold their breath when they are surprised, worried, or fearful? I know that I held my breath when my mom caught my brother and I walking around on the roof when we were 5 and 6 years old. My father had left the ladder out (I think he had been working on the air conditioner) and my brother and I were effortlessly drawn up into the irresistable adventure of treetops and chimneys. We knew we had to be very, very quiet. We kept our voices absolutely silent as we crept around on the top of the house. Terrified and thrilled, we enjoyed the feel of asphalt underfoot for only a few minutes before my mom appeared in the yard.
Of course we both gasped and held our breath! We had been so quiet! How did she know???
I held my breath and locked in thoughts of shock and disbelief. Years later, these feelings were released when I realized that it had been our footsteps and not our voices that called her out to check on us. Now I smile when I think about how clever we thought we were - we thought the only way to communicate was through our mouths!
In the next issue of Vibrant!, we will discuss more about the importance of natural breathing, and share tips for using breathing to support a healthy, vibrant life!

(We are still building our online shopping cart system... please call 605-222-9160 or send me an email to place your order. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we are growing!)
You can also order this product from my friend David Balster's company at www.mortersupplements.com - his prices may vary from mine! |
Topical Use: I use Trace Minerals topically on cuts, scrapes, burns, and other superficial wounds. It does sting, but my superficial injuries have never healed so quickly! I recently cut my index finger on some rusty metal as I was helping my father repair his chicken coop. The cut swelled and festered, throbbed, and was quite painful at first. On the second day, I remembered Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals. I soaked the injury to soften the surface of the cut, put on about two drops of the minerals, and then bandaged my finger. Within two days, the cut was fully sealed and healing well! As I write this, about a week has passed and you have to look very closely to see that my finger was even injured! Next time, I will take before & after pictures for you!
Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals will thicken blood very efficiently … I once placed a few drops on a deep tissue cut on the palm of my hand that would not stop bleeding, and the blood coagulated immediately and then healed very quickly without infection.
Caution: Be sure to protect your clothing, upholstery, and other fabrics when using Trace Minerals, as it will stain! |
Is your diet providing you with all the minerals you need for optimal health and wellness?
Most of the foods grown in the US today come from soils that have been heavily depleted of nutrients - even "organic" produce can be mineral deficient. Plants grown in poor soil will not have nutrients available from the soils to draw up into themselves and offer to you when you eat them!
Unless you can be certain that your food supply is grown in highly nourished soils that are richly composted with organic materials, I highly recommend Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals!
Trace mineral supplements are essential to vibrant living because they are critical to the absorption and utilization of vitamins, aid the body in optimal function of energy, nutrition and tissue healing.
Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals contain over 70 minerals in concentrated colloidal suspension. This product is unique because these minerals are derived from an organic plant source that is easily processed and used by the body.
I personally drink several drops of Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals (diluted in water) nearly every day for my own health, even though I eat lots of high quality fruits and vegetables...what about you?
Suggested use: Drink up to 10 drops a day. Be sure to add it to juice or water – it is very astringent and unpleasant alone! I give my kids about 5 drops whenever they drink soda pop. I’m not recommending soda pop as a nutritional beverage… but sometimes you have to be realistic! My kids absolutely love soda pop, and even though I prefer they didn’t have it at all, I figure they are at least getting their minerals along with it!
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. |
Order your bottles of Trace Minerals today… you are worth it!
What happens to my body when I use Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals may or may not happen to your body… you may want to consult a medical professional for advice and guidance about any supplements you are considering. | |
