Its that time of year again.... Christmas.... For some of us its hell on earth and for some its a time of great joy and happiness....
However way it is for you, if your eating and drinking the mountains of food and alcohol that surround most of us... Then its hell on earth for your poor body....
Every year I spend the day with my family and the amount of food consumed is a sin.... All that food for one day... Why do we do it.... Why do we force ourselves to eat enormous amounts of food, chocolate, mulled wine, hot toddy's , and the rest... We end up at the end of the day like fattened pigs waiting for the slaughter. And I bet most of you wouldn't be able to resit the slaughter, it might even come as a welcome release from all that gas, wind, belching, farting, acid heartburn, unbearable fatigue that forces you to use match sticks to hold your eyes open.... and the torturous children shouting and screaming "its my turn", "I want more" blah blah, blah.... At least Santa came to them.... :) :)
But what toll does all this stress have on your poor body, your digestive system is under so much pressure it shuts you down in order to digest all the turkey and ham, parsnips Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, stuffing, cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, oh and don't forget the cabbage and the yorkshire puddings... I kid you not, my mother serves all of this up on a plate every Christmas... And its a sin not to eat it all.... oh yeah and the gravy.... a glass of wine, a Christmas cracker and party hat... and then the kids still screaming and shouting at each other... Just imagine the stress of it all has on your poor digestive system.. I think it takes a week for me to recover... :) But hey I'm one of the people that love Christmas, and all the joy, stress, family arguments and screaming kids it brings.
So this year I will do the same as every other year enjoy the day that it is and eat all around me until I cant move and I welcome the slaughterer... :)
But this year I will have a new companion, my Labrador dog.. He is adorable and nuts, and totally unpredictable and loving and loyal.... I decided to get him when I had my first hair test and realized how high my calcium shell was... I was totally wrapped up in a Calcium shell, my senses buffered and dulled, my heart chakra blocked, defensive and angry. I needed therapy, unconditional love, a friend, an exercise buddy and someone who I could count on 100%.... Harvey arrived and he is all of that...He is helping me break down that calcium shell.....If any of you have seen the film Marley and Me.... well that's Harvey... mad as a hater and eating me out of house and home, literally...:) :) He takes me for a walk every day and barks every time we pass the vets, they took his balls and he wont forget that,... He gives them a big glaring look and a big man bark.... :) :0 Poor Harvey...So any of you out there with a calcium shell, I can recommend a dog.... :) Great friends and great shell breakers....
Have a happy Christmas
