The time is NOW to re-think our idea of home, where our home is more than just a shelter; it works within its surroundings, with its local climate and also nurtures its inhabitants. Homes are places to be respected for their power to rejuvinate, refresh and restore our bodies, mind and spirit, renewing our energy. Including the elements of green building concepts, will enhance these qualities of our homes. 

We have the responsibility to provide ourselves and our families homes that have this healing potential, through being authentically designed to reflect your current lifestyle and beliefs, and the way you intend to live in the future, as well. Consider the importance of our peronal living spaces, to bring happiness, peace, health and harmony to our soul and to our planet.

By opening ourselves up to living more expressively in who we really are, by living authentically, it will bring joy, happiness and abundance to our lives. We are all connected and the positive things we do for ourselves helps not only us, but the well being of the whole planet, as well.
 
While the green building movement continues its momentum, it is even more important to remember your internal environment - the home for our soul, as well. Consider taking steps today to rid your body of impurities and harmful toxins that surround us on a daily basis, to keep the home for your soul healthy for the long term.

As you may be aware, toxicity is everywhere: in your water, air, food, cosmetics, toothpastes and deodorants. These impurities are absorbed into your body every day. You may not also be aware that our bodies cannot process all of these toxins effectively, so they tend to become stored in our bodies in fat cells, and over time this can cause us to gain excess weight or to become sick, or both. They can also become stored in our colon, sometimes for many years. See this powerful information from the Environmental Working Group, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, about 10 Americans: http://www.ewg.org/10-americans and Are You Toxic?http://www.youtube.com/isagenixvideos#p/u/1/4qrBk6hUNCw

Detoxifying your body will boost your immunity, improve your energy and digestion, and releases fat - which stores the toxins, as a protective mechanism for your body. When you release the fat and feed your body with the good nutrition it's missing - feeding it superfoods, you will optimize your body weight and improve your health.

Follow these 7 pillars of Health on a daily basis:

Hydration - drink at least half your body weight in ounces of alkaline water per day, to hydrate your cells. Most of us are dehydrated without being aware of it. See Dr. Corinne Allen's book: 'Your Brain On Water'.
Nutrition - eat organic superfoods, which detoxify and nurish your cells. An easy way to provide your body excellent nutrition is to eat Isagenix foods. To educate yourself on the nutritionally deficient foods you've been eating, watch the movie 'Food, Inc.'
Exercise - get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day. 
Sleep - get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Alkalinity - raise the pH of your body by eating and drinking alkaline foods and water. Disease cannot survive in an alkaline body, but thrives in an acidic body.
Supplements - take all natural supplements, such as glutathione, to enhance your body's own ability to be the self healing miracle that it is.
 Stress - reduce the stress in your life to protect your body from the damage it causes.
