Not all of us Grow where We're Planted

　

Misty Flowers wasn't born a flower, she became one as she grew. Raised in the suburbs of Redding CA, she was drawn to the healing power of herbs after spending many years consumed with food related health conditions and not finding relief in allopathic medicine. Her life led her to a community in the Pacific Northwest of Washington where she was trained to be a Reiki Master and BodyTalk Practitioner. After spending several years working with clients on finding balance in their lives through energy medicine, she realized that she could support a deeper and more long-lasting change by integrating the earthy elements of Food consumption.

There was no typical program for this flower. She spent time researching programs that would offer her the education to truly help educate others in a Holistic way. Along the internet highway came SWIHA. Through SWIHA, Misty Flowers has become educated on all of the facets of food and holistic nutrition along with the education and experience of Growing Real Food. She has also received training and experience in Life Coaching so that her clients really get the positive support they need to fulfill their mission of wellness.

Flower means blessing and Misty Flowers has woven a tapestry of blessings to accomodate her ever growing passion to help others heal. Through her own journey to wellness she has become acutely aware that Healing is indeed an inside job. She recognizes that each person is responsible for their own wellness and as her experience has shown her, a little information and support goes a long way! Life can be busy, demanding and challenging and because Misty balances being a mother, student, professional musician, organic gardener, and home caretaker, she understands the importance of balance and health.

As a performer, Misty Flowers recognizes everyone's deep need for connection and to feel valued. She also recognizes the healing power of presence whether in performing or in her daily relationships. As a Holistic Practitioner, she provides her clients with the presence and compassion they need to feel recognized and builds strength to achieve goals by asking pertinent questions that lead the client to create an easy-to-follow action plan. But one cannot achieve success by action alone. Misty Flowers also connects her clients to their thoughts, helping them understand their habitual thoughts as an influence on their external lives. Through questions and journaling, she helps them discover their deepest truths and find ways to release thoughts that don't support their best self. Through visualization and affirmations, clients are led to reprogram their thinking as they see fit to accomplish their goals.

There is a saying to "Grow Where you are Planted" but Misty Flowers grew by being uprooted and replanted in more fertile soil. Because of this, she is able to support others in allowing themselves to uproot their old thinking and patterns and replant themselves in healthier, richer soil. With the right nutrients, sunshine, and positive focus, we can all flourish in the Garden of Life!

What is Real Food?

I was raised on the Standard American Diet.  Being a single mom with two children, my mother got government assistance and we were raised to eat what the government approved of.  I remember every month standing in line for that "government cheese", the big loaf of what they deemed as Cheddar (although us kids had many conversations about "something just doesn't taste right about it").  I was the dirty, shoeless kid giving food stamps for home run pies for my weekly breakfast supply.  It took me many years to notice the glares from adults who looked down upon me for using this government aid. I was just a kid.  And for our family food stamps= life with food and the more food we got for the buck, the more we could make the food supply stretch to next month.  So I grew up and eating highly processed, government funded food. It was cheap food and it was nutrient-dead food.  But we didn't question it, we gave thanks for what we got.  And my health deteriorated.
By the time I moved out of the house at 18, I had a mouth full of amalgam fillings, severe acne on my back and big discolored spots all over the warm areas of my body (Tenea Versicolor).  Both of these are symptoms of a body's toxicity and/or overgrowth of yeast.  Every time I went to the doctor, they prescribed creams for the acne and for the Tenea, recommended me covering head to toe in Selsum Blue, an anti-dandruff shampoo to kill the fungus.  Every time I did this the skin spots would fade for a month or so and come back. Later in my life I learned it must be healed from the INSIDE.
Inside our bellies lie this amazing bacteria that digests food, builds our immune system, and facilitates many hormone processes vital to health. This bacteria, or Gut Flora, flourishes with live organic matter (i.e. vegetables, fruit, probiotics like cultured milk, kombucha, kimchi).  It is compromised or weakened with things such as sugar, processed foods, antibiotics. If the gut flora is weakened, the immune system is weakened and many chemical processes for body function are compromised. This can lead to allergies, weak bones, tooth decay, and many other illnesses/disease.
Back to the food question: What is Real Food?
Real food Feeds the body. Real Food has nutrients to heal and strengthen the body. Real food also detoxifies the blood and lymph, helps the colon release waste so that the body can remain healthy. The only food that can do all of these things is Organic, Whole Food. Vegetables, Fruit, grains, Grass-fed animals, Raw and unrefined oils.  Plants are grown with nutrient rich Soil that is built by decaying matter, not chemical fertilizers. Animals eat what they naturally would eat and in an environment they would naturally live and be healthy.  Oils are cold-pressed, uncooked and unhydrogenated.  The more unprocessed food we consume, the better our bodies can digest and assimilate the nutrients. And if we want to be Healthy we must begin by taking responsibility for what we Consume. I choose to consume Real Food. And the more I do, the more I feel life force energy returning to every cell of my body!
