Paul Demeda Shares Material From His Con Ed Course

Join us on Tuesday August 16 at 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT for a 1 hour webinar as Paul Demeda presents on the thousands of chemicals in our environment, and how studies show that we have hundred of toxins in our blood. Toxins have been shown to contribute to a wide range of health conditions—both physical and mental. Even though detoxification protocols have been used for thousands of years to help remove disease-causing toxins, people still worry that they are dangerous, unpleasant, or just don’t work. This 1 hour webinar will help take the mystery out of detoxification, so you can stop worrying and start clearing.

IHN Administration was treated an Elemental Breathwork Workshop by IHN graduate, Rita Savoia. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher, Master of Industrial Relations and founder of Savoia Self-Care. She helps individuals improve performance potential by becoming their own health heroes. The session was both objectively instructive, and subjectively enlightening! IHN and Rita are discussing a Continuing Education program that teaches CNPs this powerful and advanced skill set. We had no idea how serious of an impact elemental breathing could be for health. We knew breath was critical but how deep this goes was unknown. We'll get Rita in for a webinar or Guest Speaker (Guest Breather?) booking soon. Participants will learn how to destress through conscious breathing targeted at releasing stress as well as how to feel more connected and open to their environment.

Proper breathing is an overlooked and underestimated mechanism for improved mental, physical, and emotional health. We know that it's paramount, but many of us still don't fully apply it. Breath is most often used for stress reduction (reducing blood pressure) but known to be used for pain management, increasing focus and productivity, improving mood and emotional wellbeing, being more resilient, and quite simply, being happier. Rita shared that it's another way to open the pineal gland. To awaken your pineal gland and to open your third eye. When your pineal gland is healthy and active, you easily experience empathy and a sense of connection and belonging. You access clarity, intuition and foresight. You become couched in a heightened state of clarity that goes beyond the five senses.

Compared to most typical baking flours that you would find in a standard grocery store, almond flour provides more nutritional value than most. It is a flour you can conveniently make at home and is a great gluten-free substitute for wheat flours. Almonds are rich in healthy fat, plant-based protein, fibre, vitamin E and minerals. The next time you are looking for a way to include almond flour for a nutritional boost, we recommend this Chocolate Chip Waffle recipe by IHN graduate, Alexandra King.
