“One cannot think well, love well, and sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
Virginia Woolf,
a Room of One's Own


Just 30 minutes before sunrise a burst of energy and ozone rises up from the ground. This burst of ozone stimulates birds to begin chirping. Simply being awake at this earlier hour is good for your health. The energy is at its best and you will find that waking up earlier each morning give you plenty time to take care of yourself. “Sleeping in” does not improve health and goes against the flow of nature. If you are sleeping past 7am, your body is out of balance. If you are busy person you simply must create time in your morning. Giving yourself time in the morning is the secret of life. Try waking at 6AM each morning and go to sleep between 10-11PM. Improving the energy flow within your body is priceless, enjoyable and mandatory if you are on healing journey. It is important to strengthen your life force energy and immune system on a daily basis.
