ARE YOU ADDICTED TO THE STRUGGLE?

I had to face the realization that for some reason seriously unbeknownst to me, I HAD AN ADDICTION TO STRUGGLE.  Just got this realization recently.  NO MORE, I'M DONE.

What or who on earth maligned my mindset to this point?  You know how I figured it out? I just took a long, hard look at my circumstances, people around me and the disproportionate levels of progression and measurable successes relative to the work and desires in my life and the lives of others.

Everything has been a struggle.  I mean EVERYTHING! My mantra became biblical in that I fully embrace the scripture, "The valiant take it by force."  I remember taking an acting role in minus degree weather while I had the flu.  The job required me to dress in non-seasonal clothing and barely able to stand, I kept telling myself, "Just push girl.  You're strong and powerful, etc., etc.  That was ludicrous!  I could have ended up in the hospital.

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress......NOT ABSOLUTELY TRUE.  Struggle is a part of it, like an aircraft's ascent.  It takes a lot of THRUST before we reach CRUISING ALTITUDE but we do reach it eventually.

"Suffering violence" doesn't embrace the struggle.  On the contrary, "Valiant" people are forceful people, purposed driven people.  Each power move takes it by force upward and beyond, not downward or stagnant.  Valiant people make power moves and POWER MOVES are STRATEGIC.

BIBLICAL BEAUTIES, you are allowed to flow and ease into your purpose with measureable success and abundant living.  So, ALLOW YOURSELF to peacefully make your next move.

What are you desiring?  If you've spent half to three quarters of your life struggling to achieve your desires, it is time to stand back and revamp your strategy.  Let the physical struggle go and focus on your INNER STRENGTH.  (I will discuss this further in future posts.)

I'm lessening this struggle, once and for all.  That's what I am going to do, starting now.  `But, first, I shall relax.  BYE, BYE STRUGGLE!

NEW BEGINNINGS AT ANY AGE

Hello Everyone:

Well, it has been a while since I last posted on my blog.  SO MUCH has happened....to all us really and certainly in the world we live in.

Often, I've lamented, "All of these years have passed and I have not accomplished my life's objectives!"  Panic was starting to set in.

"Time is FINITE.  

I don't have forever.  

When will I achieve the desires of my heart?"

It seems like the only thing increasing is AGE.  

HOGWASH!!!!

While aging itself is a biological process, what it means to be “young” or “old” is socially constructed. This means that there is no inherent cultural meaning to the biological process of aging. Rather, cultures imbue youth and age with meanings.

If you are reading this BLOG, you are not done with this journey.

Let's embark upon this new season together; shall we?

NEW BEGINNINGS (By the way.....HAPPY NEW YEAR)

My intention for the Biblical Beauty Blog is to embark upon an exciting new journey of self-discovery, growth, reinvention and fulfilled desires.

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!!! Look at this Biblical Beauty Tip

This just in from the current news reports.

A SECRET TO LONGEVITY.......ROSEMARY.

What You HEAR Can Hurt or Heal. Biblical Beauty Secret No. 6

There are all kinds of frequencies and vibrations all around us.

Light Waves (eyes), Sound Waves (ears), Gamma Rays, Infrared and Radio and Television Waves which can be felt.

These frequencies can be healing or abrasive.  Remember the old saying, "Music hath the power to heal the savage beast."  Well, the opposite is true also.

How music affects our body and brain

Music can effect hormones and can even trigger a release of endorphins - feel good chemicals. Beyond the biology and the actual responses of your body, there is scientific evidence it can affect your mind.

The most famous experiment related to this is probably the one that was performed at the University of California at Irvine. College students were assigned to three different groups. The first group listened to Mozart's sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. The second group listened to a relaxation tape. The third group listened to nothing at all. After listening, they took a Stanford-Beinet reasoning test. The results were clear -- those who had listened to Mozart had improved scores.

THE BIBLICAL BEAUTY MAINTAINS A SENSE OF PEACE, JOY AND STABILITY BY BEING ABLE TO UNWIND AND CONCENTRATE UPON GOODNESS AND THANKSGIVING.  This ability will add years to our lives and bring a glow to our countenance.

Luke 19:37-40 "As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

KALE!!!! Biblical Beauty Secret Week 4

KALE!!!!  SUPERFOOD

Lean, Green and Packed with Nutrients.

Recently, while performing in the Off-Off Broadway show, “Songs From The Harlem River,” I met a beautiful actress named VINIE BURROWS who came out to see us.

 

Vinie won’t be upset when I tell you how old she is because she proudly proclaims it.  She is 88 years young.  I almost hit the floor when she told me.  What???

She’s elegant, vital, slim and healthy.  Her makeup was impeccable on skin which was dewy.  Dewy at 88.  Moreover, she still performs regularly, lives alone in Manhattan, walks everywhere and runs all of her own errands and folks in New York City know that running errands in the city is tantamount to a race with hurdles.  http://www.vinieburrows.com

I asked her what was her secret and she said simply in addition to the constant physical activity, she drinks a cup of KALE TEA every day.

Now I know KALE has many benefits, such as;

• Brain Food (Manganese)
• Protects Against Heart Disease (Antioxidants; Magnesium and Potassium)
• Anti-Cancer Benefits (Vitamin A, C)
• Super High in Vitamin K1 (Bone health, Blood Sugar Level Regulation)
• IRON, IRON and More IRON
• High in Potassium (only Avocados and Bananas are higher)
• Aids in WEIGHT LOSS
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Low in Calories

 Making Kale Tea at Home

2 to 3 pieces of kale leaves
¾ cup water

Instruction:

Tear the kale leaves into small pieces.  Add ¾ cup of boiling water.  Let it steep for several minutes.  Stir the mixture several times before drinking.  Sweeten the mixture by adding organic honey.

Drink a small cup EVERY DAY. 

A LITTLE EXTRA BEAUTY TREAT

Have a 1/2 cup of Walnuts for a nice afternoon snack

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, nuts are a perfect age fighting food and full of omega-3 essential fatty-acids. Walnuts and nuts in general, assist with managing cholesterol levels, improve digestive functioning, and strengthen immunity due to their rich mineral content.

In addition, research has discovered that even though nuts are a high-calorie, high-fat food, they do not encourage weight-gain. This is because nuts are filling, and after consumption, people eat less afterwards. In fact, the body does not absorb up to 20% of nuts.

BREATHING FOR BEAUTY - Biblical Beauty Secret No. 3

When you can't BREATHE, nothing else matters.

Can you BREATHE for your Beauty?  Absolutely!

"Most of us do not breathe deeply enough for optimal health. With shallow breathing, we diminish our oxygen intake and the amount of carbon dioxide expelled from the body, leading to a build up of toxins in the body. Breathing slowly and deeply in and out through the nose will increase the oxygenation of blood upping rejuvenation of the skin."

Deep Breathing offers many beauty benefits:

Improves Oxygen Delivery

Deep Breathing increases circulation which results in glowing skin.'

Detoxification of the entire system

Breathing exercises can eliminate harmful toxins from the body.  The body is designed to release 70% of accumulated toxins through breathing.  Carbon Dioxide, a natural toxin is expelled from the body's metabolic processes.  Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide to cleanse the system.

Consequently, SHALLOW BREATHING makes it harder to release toxins from the system.  The lungs are forced to work harder which in turn weakens the immune systems.  This leads to illness and infections.

Elimination of Stress

Increased Mental Clarity

Biblical Beauties, let's commence to breathing better, deeply and consistently. 

By doing the above exercise just 5 minutes a day, improvements will be quickly manifested.  You will see radiant skin, calmness, clarity and.......

Weight Watchers says deep breathing will assist in WEIGHT LOSS!!!

http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=1391

One of the best known verses in the Bible is Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul." (Ruach - Hebrew words for "breath of life")

PS:  FACT:  Creatures that breathe slower like the elephant and the tortoise, live longer.

Shhhhh......Long Hair is Biblical -- WEEK 2 BEAUTY BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET

Hi Biblical Beauties!

Today I wanted to share a Hair Biblical Beauty Secret that really isn't so secret.  In fact, the secret(s) to long hair have been used in civilization since the beginning of time.  Biblical scripture makes mention of hair and the glory of hair.

1 Corinthians 11:15 - But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.

Basically the secret to beautiful hair is in CLEANSING, MAINTENANCE and PROTECTION.

CLEANSING with a mild no sulfate low ph shampoo or a "No Poo shampoo/conditioner."

MAINTENANCE which today's secret illustrates.

FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD - HOW DO WE GROW LUXURIOUS HAIR AND KEEP IT????


Based upon my research and personal experience, I've formulated an incredibly effective HAIR BEAUTY OIL to promote growth and maintenance.

BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET OIL

Black Castor Oil
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Geranium Oil
Neruli Oil
Neem Oil
Rosemary Oil
Camellia Seed Oil
Cayenne Pepper

Use 3 times weekly
Part the hair in small sections and apply the oil with a dropper (see above) on the scalp paying special attention to any thinning areas, i.e., edges and crown, etc.

Massage the scalp gently for 3 minutes

{Note to Biblical Beauties who believe in the power of the Word of God:  Pray over your head!  Read the scripture above, 1 Cor. 11:15.  Also, I declare that my hair shall grow profusely like Absalom's hair.}

INVERSION FOR HAIR GROWTH

Inversion is a method of hanging your head upside down to bring the blood flow into the hair follicle.  I found two great videos illustrating this with results.  The results are purported to be:

1 Inch of Hair Growth in 7 days.  (I'm going to try this on Saturday, so I will get back to you with this.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTzt3hgzyyQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDCQYt4R3eI

"And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:12

Oh yes DRINK WATER and take your vitamins!!!!

I take Hair Finity, Biotin, Vitamin D3-5000iu and a Multi B-complex.

http://www.hairfinity.com/

The Inversion Method is TEMPORARY.  Our very intelligent bodies have a way of getting used to something new rather quickly and tempering off.

I've found so many "biblical" techniques for hair beauty which I will share; further establishing our credo that EVERYTHING WE NEED IS IN THE EARTH.

WEEK ONE BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET (52 For the year!)

THE FIRST BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET OF THE NEW YEAR IS......

HELICHRYSUM OIL(Helichrysum splendidum)

Helichrysum, the flower that contributes to “Everlasting” and “Immortal” Essential Oil, and known by the names Helichrysum Angustifolium and Helichrysum Italicum, is an European herb native to France, Italy and a few neighboring countries. This is a very costly oil and scarcely available, but unlike other essential oils which have a short shelf life, this oil can be stored for a very long time.

https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-helichrysum-essential-oil.html

The chemical profile of the

Veriditas Helichrysum italicum variety Serotinum,

includes a high level of :

o   Neryl Acetate (over 40%), which acts as an anti-spasmodic / muscle relaxant, may serve to “unlock” old injuries and is involved in the muscular-knot-releasing effect.

o   Alpha-, beta-, and gamma-curcumenes, which act as anti-inflammatory agents.

o   Di-ketones, which possess superb ability to regenerate new cells and tissue.

MY PERSONAL USAGE:

First of all, let me tell you, it doesn't smell that good.  It's a bit pungent.  LOL  However, it is so good for my skin, I just overlook that.  I use this fabulous oil two ways; 1) In my homemade facial scrub formula and 2) Adding a bit to my foundation.

ANTI-INFLAMMATION FACIAL SCRUB

1/2 Cup of Jojoba oil as the carrier oil

25 uncoated Aspirin (GeriCare Aspirin - I ordered via Amazon)

1 Tablespoons of Organic Lemon Juice

25 drops of Helichrysum Oil (http://www.edensgarden.com/products/helichrysum#.VowpTfkrL-c) 

Finely grind the UNCOATED Aspirin in a mortar with a pestle.  The coarseness of the powder depends upon how intense you want the exfoliation to be.  I like a medium grind, not too powdery.

ADD the Jojoba Oil, Organic Lemon Juice and the Helichrysum Oil to the Aspirin.  Mix well.  

i use this scrub about once a week.  It is particularly great for breakouts, cuts and puffiness.  Remarkable tightening without harsh dryness.

Before a special event, I will sleep with it on my face overnight.

ADDING TO MAKEUP FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER

I add one or two drops to my foundation on a makeup sponge.  Go easy with the oil because the smell is strong and you don't want to have folks looking at you weirdly.  LOL

Biblical Beauty Secret No. 1.....51 to go. 

Lovingly,

STOP THAT OLD TALK!!!!

I notice that a lot of people decry getting older.  They talk about aches, pains, disappointments and regrets, coulda woulda shoulda mess, etc.  STOP THAT SORT OF TALK!!!! which manifests itself in decline on every level.

May I just share that getting older is a fabulous experience if you equate getting older as getting stronger, wiser, more intelligent, spiritually more advanced and physically more beautiful.  

Try splitting up each personal “epoch” into a number of years, i.e., 7.  So, for every 7 years, you purpose that you will improve significantly over a measurable period of time.  The only difference between a 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 year old, etc. is that it just takes more effort to achieve the greater results.  

Therefore, begin young to acquire the desired strength for the latter years.  However, it’s never too late to start.

For me this is “BIBLICAL BEAUTY” 

by definition and methodology.

Lovingly Yours,

Michele

REJUVENATION

JOB 33:25 - His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth.

A BIBLICAL BEAUTY is often complimented on how young she looks.  After graduating from college, I moved to New York City and shortly upon arriving there I joined a lovely church.  I observed how elegant, eloquent and beautiful  the Pastor's wife was.  When commenting to another church member how impressed I was with her, I was informed that she never aged.  I was shown pictures of her from 20 years prior to meeting her and indeed, she hadn't changed.  Other church members told me that she had to be in her 60's or even 70's but she didn't look a day over 35.  I never forgot that.

How does a Biblical Beauty look 30 years even 40 years younger than she is?  

Wendy Ida, Personal Trainer, Body Builder, Author (Age 62)

Joshua 14:10-12 - “Now, as you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. 11 I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. 12 So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said.”

WHAT WILL  KEEP YOU ENERGIZED, STRENGTHENED AND YOUTHFUL?

• BEING WHOLLY COMMITTED TO YOUR GOD-ORDAINED PURPOSE

• LIVING A LIFE OF EXPECTANCY

• REGENERATION VIA DAILY PRAYER AND FREQUENT FASTING

• A LIFE GIVING DIET WITH "RENEWAL" ENERGY LADEN FOODS - WHOLE ORGANIC FOODS AND HGH (Human Growth Hormone) PRODUCING FOODS

• THOUGHTS THAT ENERGIZE AND CONTINUALLY ELEVATE ABOVE THE ABYSMAL (NEGATIVE) THINKING OF THE WORLD (CONTINUAL RENEWING OF THE MIND TO CONFORM TO THE WORD OF GOD).

• WALKING IN LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

• OWNING YOUR AGE BUT NOT ALLOWING YOUR AGE TO OWN YOU

Ernestine Shepherd, Body Builder (Age 74)

As a Biblical Beauty THINKS, so is she......

Masako Mizutani is known in Japan as the lady of eternal youth.  

44 years old, yet looks like a teenager.

Youthfulness is a trait of BIBLICAL BEAUTY and Rejuvenation is available to a BIBLICAL BEAUTY at any time she decides.

THE POMEGRANATE - NATURAL REJUVENATION FOR BIBLICAL BEAUTY

As I write this Biblical Beauty Blog post, I am basking in the aromatic fragrance of POMEGRANATE OIL which I massaged over my face, neck and décolletage.  Such a heavenly fragrance.  A I inhale this lovely fragrance, an indescribable peace enveloped me.

A BIBLICAL BEAUTY knows that God's natural herbs, fruits and oils are the ultimate beauty resource for healing, maintenance and rejuvenation.  

One of these natural rejuvenators is the beautiful POMEGRANATE.

In the Bible (Deut. 8:8), the report of the spies sent forth to scout out the Promised Land recounted having seen a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey.

“Pomegranate, a very beautiful and majestic fruit, even has a crown. It corresponds to hod, which means majesty and glory. Hod is also related to the Hebrew word toda which means thanks and recognition.

According to Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh, hod corresponds to our immune system. A healthy immune system is able to recognize our friends from our foes, and pomegranates boost our immune system. Pomegranate seed oil causes cancer cells to self-destruct; the juice of the fruit is toxic to most breast cancer cells, yet has almost no effect on healthy cells. Pomegranate juice has also been proven to decrease heart disease by decreasing LDL ("bad cholesterol") and increased HDL ("good cholesterol").” -- (Excerpt from “The Seven Species” written by Chana B. Siegelbaum)

WOW!!!!!

8 AMAZING BENEFITS OF POMEGRANATE OIL

The pomegranate is native in regions ranging from Iran through to the Himalayas in northern India. It was cultivated and naturalized over the Mediterranean region since ancient times. The pomegranate plant is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to typically to 12 to 16 feet in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. It is usually deciduous, but in certain areas the leaves will persist on the tree. The trunk is covered by a red-brown bark, which later becomes gray. The branches are stiff, angular and often spiny. Pomegranate Carrier Oil is the result of the dried seeds, which are extracted and purified with supercritical carbon dioxide (liquid carbon dioxide).

Pomegranate Seed Carrier Oil is suitable for applications in both soap and skin care. It is often viewed as a "face oil" in that it moisturizes and nourishes dry skin. It also balances pH and after application the skin usually feels soft and smooth.

Song of Songs 4: 1-5 - 1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.  2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.  3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.  4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.  5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
