Allergies - Honey

Honey - Allergies

Pollen the main cause of spring time allergies is spread by the honey bee.  So the thinking goes, that an antidote to the allergen pollen is honey from the bee.  Honey is a natural sweetener and has many other health benefits. 

Since the flowers are pollinated by the bees, the honey from the bee counteracts the allergies.  The honey should be raw and local. 

I have noticed an improvement in my allergies since starting the honey regimen.  Try local raw honey and see if it works for you. Keep using the raw honey and give it time to work.

A natural remedy that replaces the chemical alternatives. 

To your health,

Choose Kindness

Kindness

When choosing between being right and being kind, choose kindness.  Our ego dominated selves demand that we always be right, that we win the argument.  The television shows focus on conflict, on pitting one side vs the other.  The focus is on divisiveness. 

When we accept that that our view is not the only view, we become open and tolerant of other viewpoints.  Giving up our need to right, to always win, keeps us open for new ideas, new thoughts, and opportunities for growth. 

We often find the most challenging applications are with our families, specifically our spouse or children.  We find that our need to be right is just too strong within our families, we must maintain our position of power and identity. But when we give up our need to argue or prove our point,  and allow our loved ones to express themselves and have their point of view, we create an atmosphere of loving, caring, and nurturing. 

We can continue to lead and teach by example.  What better way to teach someone about love and kindness that to exhibit those qualities ourselves. 

We know at times it's hard to choose kindness to those that may be different from us or that may be unkind, but we have that ability that POWER.  Watch the reaction of others when you choose kindness, you are spreading sunshine, and making the world a better place. 

When you choose kindness, you minimize conflict and tension, your health and well being improve and you are filled with a lightness and joy. 

Try it. Next time your raced with being right or being kind,  choose kindness.

With Love,

You Deserve It!

You deserve all the wonderful things in life.  During our short time on earth, we need to remember that each of us is special in our own right.  We make up the collective human race and each of us has a note to sing or a part to play in make the world a beautiful place.

Many times life has a way of beating us down, convincing us that we are too fat, too ugly, too short, too dumb, too nerdy.  We must remember that each of us is unique, each of us has value, each of us is wonderful in our own way.

Find time to honor yourself, to be kind to yourself, to love yourself despite what others may say.  Treat yourself with gentle love and kindness.

With Love,

Tom Kaufmann
