PATCH ME UP - DOC!

I already know about Voxx Socks and their new wearable good health technology, but I wasn’t familiar with the other products at VoxxLife. Jay Dhaliwal – Founder and CEO of VoxxLife has built his business on the concept of “reason for being.” For years he has been searching for ways to help his Mom, who had been diagnosed with M.S. The health care solutions available were focused either on drugs or electrical stimulation, which weren’t always effective. (http://love2yourfeet.com)

During a breakthrough meeting of the minds with Mr. Dhaliwal and neuroscientists, realized they should research how our bodies respond to neural stimulation. A second breakthrough found in research done by Dr. C.J. Griffin in 1964 led to the discovery of how brainstem homeostasis leads to improvement on overall brain function.

The team created a “vibro-tactile” pattern that could activate skin receptors to trigger neural responses and this pattern was first used in Voxx socks.

The team has now discovered patterns that can be used to assist us in other ways. Mr. Dhaliwal realized that the possibilities are endless so has added more products for our health in the form of a skin patch that allows the pattern to assist with physiological homeostasis (balance) in our brainstem.

VOXXLIFE NEUROVAX PATCH

The NeuroVax patch works hard to improve our immune systems by helping connect our neural reflexes and immune responses to work together. This brings us back to homeostasis. By dealing with the central nervous system in the brain, they create the wanted effect in the body. Having a better communication loop between our neural reflexes and immune responses, can lead to a more robust immune system.

HPT (HUMAN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY PATCH

This patch helps the central nervous system within the brain reach homeostasis. Healthy body – better wellness! The Harmony Neuropatch helps with daily activities and improves quality of life. Users notice an improved posture and dramatic gait improvement which allows far better balance, healing and recovery.

VOXXLIFE REM PATCH

This particular patch from VoxxLife intrigued me the most. I had done my homework and found that the patch was to work by helping the parts of the brain responsible for sleep through the neuro-patterning on the patch. I have tried many, many so called sleep aids including diet, exercise and OTC drugs. My pattern rarely varied from a total sleep time of 3-4 hours nightly and I had been looking and looking
to no avail.

Then I met Kara-Lyn of Love 2 Your Feet. Kara and I had discussed the VoxxLife socks, insoles and a knee brace that use similar technology. I was lamenting about not sleeping well enough to recover fully from recent hip surgery, when she told me about the VoxxLife REM patch. She said that I would be quite surprised, armed me with a patch and explained how to use it.

Well, waiting for the weekend, and a chance to just let sleep happen; I used the patch the following Saturday night. Something very incredible happened. No drugs, no alcohol, just this patch and a tired person headed to bed to wake up 9 hours later. 9 Hours!! I had never yet, in my life, slept 9 hours. Now, I didn’t wake up groggy or dull. I was refreshed and ready to take on the day. I know that was only one trial, but I’m impressed enough to be making a purchase of the patches. Even if I don’t use them every evening, I think that the extra rest I could get will go far to creating a healthier me.

For more information on the patches call Kara-Lyn Palmer at (705) 446-5566, or visit her website link at https://www.voxxlife.com/klp. You’ll be in better health for doing so.

CHRISTMAS, COVID & KIDS

November 27, 2020November 26, 2020 by Jane

CHRISTMAS, COVID & KIDS

‘Tis soon the season to celebrate Christmas, but COVID is changing many of our traditions this year. When it comes to family time, it may be best to preplan the holidays a bit more this time around. As adults, there’s a very strong desire to fight change, and the kids in our lives feel our anxieties.

I spoke to Angel Powers of Mainstream Therapy today about how we can create a different yet meaningful Christmas this year.(https://mainstreamtherapy.com) Angel is a clinical social worker/therapist who has been in the trenches helping so many work through the changes that COVID has been creating.

The first advice Angel gives is to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. We can only think one way at a time and should always work at keeping everyone on the right track. In Angel’s words; “Where focus goes – energy flows…if we’re constantly focusing on what’s missing and how disconnected we are, we’ll amplify those feelings. Instead, if we focus on reframing the way we look at connectedness, we can turn a negative into a positive. For instance, if I close my eyes and imagine I’m walking to the fridge to get a lemon, imagine that I’m cutting and smelling the lemon, even biting into it I will always salivate. The reality is that our brains don’t know if we’re imaging the lemon or actually eating it…perhaps this could be a key component to helping fill the void of disconnectedness.”

She asks everyone to create new family traditions that can replace not being able to gather in our larger family groups this year. Keeping close to home there are still wonderful activities to do as a family. Angel has given us a few ideas, but we’d love to hear from you as well. Share your ideas in the comment section…your thoughts may help someone in a difficult time!

Ideas from Angel

Take a walk through some of Barrie’s beautiful trails – taking pictures. We are blessed with a wide variety of trails limiting no one.
Take a drive as a family to check out the Christmas Lights. (Maybe even open your windows and sing carols as you go…could be fun!)
On the East Coast, they call this “Mummering” – visiting neighbours to sing, play music or act silly – only because of COVID you’ll need to stay outside.
Set up a “minute to win it” afternoon or evening. The short games can be hilariously funny with little to no cost. If you’re not sure of the games, search online, there are great ideas to be found.
Start a Christmas movie tradition during the holidays. The memories made watching movies as a family can last a lifetime.
Create stories and relive funny Christmas memories. We all have one or two of those. You might be tickled pink at what wee ones come up with!
Put away the electronics for an evening and drag out the board games -Who remembers the last time you played Risk?
At the times you would have been together with other family and friends, arrange to get together via Face time or Zoom. The seniors in your life may really appreciate that.

Most of all remember, Love has no bounds – focus on that.” Keeping your thoughts on togetherness and closeness will help everyone to make this a Christmas to remember in a great way!

THE ANCIENT ARTS OF HEALING – JEEVANAYA WELLNESS

November 25, 2020November 24, 2020 by Jane

The definition of Reiki is spiritual or Universal energy. The word Reiki is used to describe a hands-on (or distance) channeling of energy to promote well-being. Reiki has been used for centuries to support the body’s natural balancing of energies. The practice can help alleviate many physical and emotional issues by assisting the healing process. At Jeevanaya Wellness Centre, (https://jeevanayawellness.com) your Practioner works with your Prana (energy). They are trained to be able to channel the proper amount of energy to where it’s needed within you. In some ways Reiki could be described as an internal air and ether – something that you can’t see, but can feel.

Using Reiki as a part of your Holistic health care can influence body, mind, spirit and emotions. These influences often happen simultaneously. Positive effects are found mainly in four areas: acute/chronic pain, pain and well being during cancer treatment, stress, anxiety and depression. During your Reiki visit you will be in a very peaceful room, lying fully clothed, comfortably on a table. Your Practioner will place their hands lightly on or over specific areas of your head, limbs and torso. During this time the Practioner hands often become warm and tingle. Their hands are held there until they sense that the energy has completed flowing. Then they move to a different area. Clients feel a release of stress and they go into a deep relaxation which takes the body into self-healing mode. Book you Reiki appontments at: https://jeevanwellness.as.me/reiki

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is an ancient therapeutic process which understands that we have reflexes in our feet that connect to glands and organs within our bodies known to relieve tension, improve circulation and support the body to function properly. The practice of Reflexology helps to manage pain, insomnia, anxiety, stress as well as hormonal and digestive issues. The effects of the treatment are uniquely different for each person. A session begins with a brief health history and explanation of the treatment. You’ll be asked to lay on the table – fully clothed, without socks, on a massage table in a comfortable position. The Practioner’s trained hands will detect and tiny deposits and imbalances that they’ll work on to release blockages. This is one of the safest and least invasive therapeutic practices of all. Your session will last for 60 minutes and all points on both sides of the body will be stimulated through acupressure points through the feet. Clients find reduced stress, improved relaxation, released tension, decreased pain along with increased mobility.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE – EMPOWER YOURSELF

YOU'RE NOT ALONE - EMPOWER YOURSELF

Remember that Autism can be found in all ethnic groups, cultures, races and genders. The numbers have risen because of new research information that allows a better chance of diagnoses. That, however creates a larger demand on healthcare, education and social service systems.

In 2016, the Ontario Government put together the Ontario Autism Program – to help people have a no fee access to “Service Navigators”. This allows everyone to gain access to the programs that research has proven will work in their individual case. It also allows families understand the services that are available for purchase with their “Childhood Budgets” and in some cases Interim One-Time Funding.

Autism Ontario has lots of info on a wide variety of programs…so please, remember….YOU’RE NOT ALONE.

If you’re in Simcoe County contact: Simcoe County Autism Ontario at (705) 252-7429 and ask about being referred to a Service Navigator.

FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR TOES – LOVE 2 YOUR FEET

November 23, 2020November 23, 2020 by Jane

Have you ever tried on a pair of Voxx Socks? I’ve just met with Kara-Lynn Palmer, owner of Love2YourFeet.ca. Kara-Lynn was so helpful! I knew about Voxx socks and the changes they can make! Voxxlife makes more products than socks though. Their products can assist you with quality of life through health, wellness and sports performance by triggering neuron-receptors sending information to our central nervous system. This in turn helps with regulating pain, maintaining balance and our motor abilities.

The socks are an incredible aid, not only for athletes but many others as well. In our family they’re used to help combat diabetic neuropathy. Another person I know won’t travel without them. She has always said that she’s able to enjoyably walk much more while sightseeing in foreign countries. They truly allow us to reduce our focus on pain – giving us more focus on the pleasurable times.

The socks are well known for better balance and mobility, increased energy and drug free pain control on the medical side of things. For athletes they are known to improve gait and posture, increase lateral mobility while reducing ACL injuries. Now here’s where everything becomes really exciting!! I had no idea the other products that VoxxLife offers! In fact, I’ve become a guinea pig for two other products.

The first one is the “esmartr’ sleeve. The sleeve is to aid cognitive focus through the specific pattern woven into it. Again the pattern works with our neuron receptors to send signals to our central nervous system. I felt that I could be a great guinea pig, as I’d suffered an acquired brain injury two years ago, that still concerns me, and I question everything. Kara-Lynn also has many of the same issues and suggested that I’d be surprised by the benefits.

I’ve now worn the “esmartr” sleeve for four very busy days. I have to admit that my brain seems not only less agitated, but my word recall has been much, much easier. In my world these days, that’s a huge plus!! I’m really looking forward to finding out what else improves.

I had mentioned to Kara-Lynn that I felt my brain injury was taking so long to heal because of my very poor sleep habits. Well readers, VoxxLife has an aid for that as well, the VoxxLife REMpatch. This is a wearable patch that’s worn before going to bed and throughout the night to improve sleep. I’m told that the users of the patch find a real improvement in both deep and REM sleep. I can’t wait to try it out! We all know that a good night’s sleep is vital to better body healing and a much more pleasant personality!

VoxxLife is making huge strides forward in wearable drug free aids for our health and wellness. Set up time for a chat with Kara-Lynn at (705) 446-5566. She really knows and understands her products, and what might help you most. I’m sure glad I did!!
