Spring Your Body Into Clean | Healthy Changes
As we now enter Spring in full force, it is a good time to clean out the winter cobwebs, not just in our homes, but our bodies as well. Through the winter people tend to nourish themselves with comfort foods. These heavier foods are appealing especially for those of us that live in cold climates. As Spring settles in and we head into the warm months, it’s good to clean out and lighten up a bit. There are many ways to do this from the extreme cleansing enthusiasts who jump into a multiple day juice cleanse to the more gentle spirit who simply incorporates more water daily to help flush those hard working kidneys.
Here are a 5 ways you can help move your body into the next season:
- Eat fresh greens: Baby greens, dandelion greens, baby kale and chard.
- Berries, berries, and more berries: As the lush variety of berries begin to come into season, enjoy! They are full of antioxidants and are extremely cleansing to help you flush out the winter doldrums.
- Asparagus: Go ahead and risk the stinky pee. Your kidneys will thank you! This natural diuretic has anti-inflammatory properties that make it perfect for a spring fling.
- And of course hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help flush winter and any accumulated toxins out of your body. Make your water fun by adding, cucumbers, lemons, any citrus combination, or berries. The possibilities are endless.
- And finally, get outside and move: Walk, bike, or whatever your outdoor pleasure…After being cooped up indoors for all winter, your skin will love the sun. Your lungs will love the are. And your whole body, head to toe will love the increased circulation.
Most of all, enjoy the new season!

Quick Health Tip | 5 Breaths
Health Quick Tip By Leslie Kemp
MSI Instructor
One of the simplest things you can do that will have a dramatic effect on your dietary experience is to take 5 deep breaths before eating a meal or snack. This simple technique can be applied anywhere, anytime.
Benefits of taking 5 deep breaths before eating a meal or snack…
- It will allow you to connect with your food, bringing focus and added enjoyment to your meal. With this connection you are more likely to taste what you are eating and because you are more aware and centered in your body, you will better be able to gauge when you are full or still hungry so as not to over or under eat. As a nice side effect, being connected with your core, helps you to naturally make wiser choices while feeding your self. Remember anywhere you add breath, you add awareness.
- Centering and calming your self before eating, will also aid indigestion. A
- Relaxed system, with increased oxygen flow, is more receptive to nutrient absorption and less likely to experience indigestion.
So relax, breath, and bon appetite!

What is IET Training? | Integrated Energy Therapy Illinois
IET stands for Integrated Energy Therapy, literally integrating the healing energy of the angels into a hands on therapy. Angel energy is the energy of compassion and love. IET is for everyone who wants to learn more about energy medicine and energy flow. This 8 hour training course is not only for Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) but also for Moms, dads, nurses, and teachers. Everyone can benefit from this gentle self-care tool. These techniques work because they are so gentle, loving and easy. You can just relax and let the angels do the work.
What you will learn in the IET training course at MSI Wellness Center:
- The 9 cellular memory centers. These are similar to the chakras and aligned with acupressure points. These points hold energy and these energies can be either restrictive or expansive. For example: The shoulder point. In this system, the restrictive energy is the should(s) and the shouldn’t(s) carrying the weight of the world or burdens.
- The expansive angel energy is Faith and Freedom it brings. The healing energy of freedom releases the shoulders and lightens your burdens.
- You will receive an attunement to the Angelic Violet Ray. The attunement is a gentle process where you receive energy and information that empowers you to do this angel healing on yourself and others.
- How to practice and learn an easy step by step process to connect to the heart of the angel and channel this wonderful energy of compassion.
- A 10 minute empowerment for your own healing. This 10 min. angel empowerment can easily be done daily to promote peace and loving kindness.
An added bonus to the IET Course:
The best part of the class is that you will be enabled to give and receive a full IET session. The angels remind us that giving is receiving. So just relax and allow the angels do the work. You get to relax on the table and receive a full session followed by your turn to practice your skills and give a session as well. It is so fun and relaxing and empowering.
Angel medicine is so gentle, so joyful, so loving and it is for everyone.

How To Help A Loved One During Transition
The loving healing energy of the Reiki Symbols has assisted in the healing process of the mind body spirit for years. Reiki Phowa teachings are a beautiful use of the Reiki Principals and Symbols to assist others in the process of transitioning from this physical lifetime. As Reiki Symbols bring peace and serenity to the spirit, a Reiki Phowa session is used to assist someone in the process of their transitioning or someone who has already transitioned. Reiki Phowa will assist in elevating the essence of one’s spirit allowing for the process of transitioning to be an experience which is lovingly peaceful with less resistance.
When you touch someone’s life – it is a privilege.
When you touch someone’s heart – it is a blessing.
When you touch someone’s mind – it is an honor.
When you touch someone’s soul – it is a triumph.
When you touch someone’s spirit – it is a miracle.

Journey Into Gentleness with the Angels
This year, 2015, is the year of the ‘heart center’ and getting to know yourself better. What better way to do that then to invite the energy of gentleness into your life with the help of the angels.
Gentleness is a soul quality that is part of our nature. But our karmas of self judgment and harshness can block the flow of our natural state of gentleness. The angels in this upcoming course Healing Angels of the Energy Field, can create a bridge for us to return to the space of peace and calm within.
The Benefits of Gentleness:
Everyone and everything can benefit from energy of gentleness. Gentleness reminds us to slow down, breathe deep and take it easy. It allows us the space to take good care of our bodies and minds.
The angels have told me time and again that gentleness is the best medicine. Gentleness washes away pain and suffering by helping us to see ourselves through the eyes of love.
About our course: Healing Angels of the Energy Field Meditation with Jill Kempner
