11/22/10 Living Wide Awake: “Cooperation with Transforming Yourself”

2010-11-21T23:39:00.000-05:00

These past days have had an effect on us.

Now, the full moon and other aspects motivate us to change spiritually.

The changes we’ve been seeing and feeling are now upon us, and our behaviors, traits and thoughts are all in flux.

The greatest of changes are happening romantically.

The best of this energy is the possibility of connecting with a soul mate!

You may meet or travel and have a spiritual/mystical experience with the person of your dreams!

Remember this is an influence, and when your head is out of the clouds, and time passes, you’ll know more about your new partner.

Be cautious about transferring your dreams and ideals to someone new, and go slowly.

This caution is more about being afraid of being alone, and pressing a deceptive agenda on someone new.

Guard against your own agendas and deceptions, and have an open heart; to attract an equal vibrating match.

Peace.

11/21/10 Living Wide Awake: Happy Full Moon!

2010-11-21T11:27:00.000-05:00

If yesterday was a “Whooooo!” today is amazing! It’s a very sweet influence. Romantic and passionate relationships all have a dreamy hue today.

Plus, we have a Full Moon!!!

Helping others in a humanitarian way is easily accomplished, due to the rosy and endearing sentiment in today’s flow.

The energies can be quite disorienting, so being focused may present a challenge.

However, if you’re working on overcoming addictions, today will provide great support and confidence, as the energies of the day reflect your scattered feelings.

So, while you’re scattered with so many tasks, and disoriented with so much energy affecting your pursuits, relax and go romance your partner.

Happy Full Moon!

Peace.

Catherine

11/20/10 Living Wide Awake With Your Heart and Soul

2010-11-19T23:45:00.000-05:00

An amazing day for romance. To meet the man of your dreams. Your head is in the clouds.
Try to refrain from transferring this dreamy-like state to romance as you could lose your objectivity and make a fantasy out of a possible solid romance.

The rest of this energy is also quite beneficial for healing.
There is a sense of identity and fulfillment with the spiritual side of life, feeling connected to the non-physical realms and psychic energy of today.
Whooooo!
Take good care to stay grounded with all this energetic movement and a full moon coming on the 21st!

Peace.

11/17/10 Living Wide Awake Reading is About Being Very Creative and Artistic.

2010-11-16T21:44:00.000-05:00

While some confusion and vacillation might occur, the greater part of today is intended for writing, or being artistic from your Creative Source.

If you’re over-focused on stress, the spiritual beauty of today’s artistry can dissipate.

The internal dialogues you may have could propel you spiritually to a more intense awareness for your future, and to the personal growth you want to achieve.

This could be a wake-up call to begin the path of Self Actualization.
This represents channeling the energy used in worry, stress and confusion to a Higher Place in your Heart-Mind, while adjusting to this new vibrational passage.

Peace.

Today’s: “Living Wide Awake”: “Are You Asleep in Your Life?”

2010-11-13T23:29:00.000-05:00

I know from experience how easy it is to “Be Asleep in Your Life”, having had my share of “Wake-Up Calls”.

Read my story in the Sage Page of one of my wake-up calls. www.TheNaturalSage.com/newsagepage.asp

“Being Asleep in Life” is not choosing to change as it comes to us. And, when that happens life will take a turn for us; likely it will be a dramatic turn.

The wonder of change is how we experience it…Do we choose change willingly and go towards it?

Or, do we get dragged along in our resistance to change, and experience the purification of our lessons, due to our fears of change?

Believe it or not, the changes, the events, and the drama, are all part of the destiny set for each of us, including the free-will choice to say “No”. When we say “No”, we’ve chosen to perpetuate our lessons, until we “Get it”.

Our choice to learn the same lessons over and over again is “Being Asleep in Life”. One becomes lost in the context so much it seems that getting out of the life problem is next to impossible.

A great example is: you’ve been married several times. You’re still lost in the context by continuing to search for another mate, rather than doing some personal work and discover more about yourself. After all, all those marriages have one thing in common: you! And, just maybe you have some changes coming!

When you wake up one day and begin to think about yourself, and how you could change, it wakes up your consciousness. You feel as though you’ve been living in a fog, and somehow it’s been lifted!

And miracles start to happen! You start feeling better, you learn about yourself, and learn from your life lessons.

“Miracles” are the course of events rewarding us for our rapid progressions! And when we’re on track we feel so alive!

Miracles begin to happen to us in rapid fashion, once we get in the groove, and decide based on the positive flow, that we want more and more of that!

Yup.

So, remember that opposition to miracles and feeling alive is rejecting and resisting your Inner Being or Soul Consciousness that continues to stir you, urging you to wake up from “Being asleep in your life!”

I made the decision in 1995 to Live Wide Awake, and haven’t looked back.

I get my share of lessons and wake-up calls to keep me flowing in the direction intended for me.

And it works!

The biggest part of my life now is living it.

I feel very alive and aware every day.

And, looking at the miracles in my life, I’m grateful to be “Living Wide Awake”.

Peace.

Catherine

Today’s: “Living Wide Awake”: “What were your dreams?” http://tiny.cc/jdjyx

2010-11-12T00:35:00.000-05:00

Today, being an 11:11, we are acutely aware of the subtleties going on in the background.

Did you dream differently last night? Were your perspectives different today?

Did you notice departures in the normals of your day or life today?

Likely this 11:11 heralds a time for awareness as vibrational changes have begun occurring at a faster rate now, and this acceleration has an effect on so much.

The activities of your day might even have felt surreal!

For me, it went like a blink. I’m exhausted. So much happened, and so much was subliminal.

I’m especially fond of how almost invisible I was, yet I managed to function in regular life activities.

I’m intrigued by the fact that today wasn’t like an ordinary day, but one full of unexpected events in rapid succession till almost midnight!.

I’d like to hear from some of you about how/what your experiences were today.

Your reading for tomorrow:

A great amount of information flooded the gates of our souls today. Intuition and healing forces are now at work. The mysteries of life will become less enigmatic.

Today’s: “Living Wide Awake”: “How to Notice Vibrational Changes in Your Life” http://tiny.cc/jdjyx

2010-11-10T22:25:00.000-05:00

Currently, our earth is undergoing highly vibrational changes that subtly began in 1991.
Children born from 1991 on, are acutely aware of the nuances in spirit, and find it attractive and normal at the same time.

For example: they will find a dream as a messenger and not speak of it to anyone, yet act on the message the dream brought. No big deal, perfectly normal for the child!
Vibrational things such as dreams aren’t necessarily “New Age”, nor are they limited to any particular following, or cult. Many Holy books and Sacred Teachers followed the messages of dreams, not speaking of it to anyone as it was just plain old normal to them.

By the same token other “messages” may be occurring in your life as though you were living a dual existence….
Like, noticing by seeing little flights of white light flit past the corner of your eye, or hearing sounds at the exact time you’re reflecting on something for answers.
These may be messages from your Angels, or Higher Powers.

I call them “Confirmations”

Pay attention.

Similarly, people, myself included, since 1991, have become increasingly aware of the number “11”.

Even more so, we are all seeing this sequence of numbers digitally: “11:11” in many places synchronistically connecting with meditations, or just a fleeting thought.

Pay Attention.

Next time you notice 11:11 be aware of what’s going on internally and in your personal ecology. You may be getting messages.
So many people are recognizing that little hints of messages are combining with their thinking, and are often connected/linked to the 11:11 “phenomena”.

There are theories connected to this sequence, and the theories range from quantum physics and String Theory, to Metaphysics and Solara’s theory.

Regardless, it is a time to notice vibratory changes. Be more aware of your personal ecology, and be a good Spiritual Steward in your physical space.

And, if 11:11 is preparing awareness, then get on board, and see if there is a purpose behind the messages coming to you.

Watch for the Coincidences/Synchronicities and “Confirmations” and see where they go for you.

My sense is that 11:11 is a “Living Wide Awake” Moment for all of humanity.
I feel that the reason for this sequence is similar to a subliminal embedded in music: it is subtle, yet is acted upon, because a part of our subconscious mind responds, then enables our conscious mind to act on it.

So let’s see what happens tomorrow, as our date tomorrow is 11/11/10. We may just encounter more phenomena, who knows?

Pay attention to your dreams tonight, see if a message comes. Notice the clock- does 11:11 just “appear” to you? And when it does, what’s happening at that exact moment?
Do you experience any sense of déjà vu more than usual tomorrow?

Do your activities give you a déjà vu referring to your dreams?

I wonder. Don’t you?

Your reading for tomorrow:

Make extra efforts to be clear in communicating, as your charm and magnetism is at an all time high! Refrain from projecting your dreamy ideals in romance. This is an important time full of revelations, leading to a higher spiritual process. -The Sage Lady™11/11/10 http://bit.ly/aQqWTU

“Living Wide Awake” Returns to the Grocery Store: http://tiny.cc/jdjyx

2010-11-09T23:38:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I posted how to save money and calories by shopping after dinner.

Now, we’re moving on to shopping as smart and healthy consumers.

First, refrain from shopping the inside aisles until after you have shopped the entire perimeter of the store. The perimeter has most of the nutritious and living foods that are best for everyone: produce, meat/poultry, and dairy.

The center aisles have foods that have preservatives, additives, and chemicals that preserve the shelf life of the products. (Some items could last for years! Makes you wonder how safe they are!)
The grocer profits from stocking his store in this manner, as the grocer has to pay for the losses they suffer from throwing out all the perishable/expired foods people don’t buy.

Instead, shop the perimeter of the store, circling around before going to the center of the store and its aisles.
Choose only produce in season for your geographic region.

The past few years since Wal-Mart changed its buying process and became an import store, we’ve been getting foods out of season and out of our regions. Kroger later followed with a similar stocking process.

Buy produce grown in your region as the mineral content benefits your Endocrine system,(glands and organs of the body).
Produce from Chile or Mexico, where the soil may not be enriched; nor will the inspection constraints be equal to USA, is not a benefit for consumer health- it's just cheap.
A regular diet of foods from other countries just might be contributing to disease or vitamin/nutrient deficiencies that lead to disease.

Consider the efforts you’re making to eat produce for the quality of life, and then erase the benefits if the produce comes out of season from underdeveloped countries because it’s purchased not for value, but on the cheap, and the “savings” are passed on to the consumer.

Are the grocers serving consumers well in this way?

One more thing.
Be aware of the expiration dates on meats and poultry- buy expiration dates that extend you the most time.
Refrain from making purchases of discounted meats/poultry because the expiration dates are today or tomorrow. Likely, expiring meat/poultry will have more “legal” dyes and sulfites to preserve them just to get a sale-not so good for consumer’s health.

Get to know local farmers, they will have produce, poultry, meat, jams, honey, soaps, etc...to sell that meets USA standards, and you’ll have a safer food benefit going on for you and your family.

Let’s buy smarter, and teach the grocers that we want quality with savings, and we’ll accept nothing less!

Be sure to read tomorrow’s post: How to notice vibrational changes in your life by “Living Wide Awake”.

Your reading for tomorrow:

A wonderful influence, bringing a realization of a dream. Perhaps it’s recognition in some way, for making a difference. This is a time of romantic expansion and extending your circle of friends.

Living Wide Awake

2010-11-08T20:42:00.000-05:00

Beginning today I’ll blog daily on: “Living Wide Awake” for your consciousness.

At the bottom of each blog, I'll include your card reading!

What is “Living Wide Awake”?

A great example of “Living Wide Awake” comes with getting your groceries.

The “normal” process may be going right after work, before dinner.
However, going at that time you’re hungry, and will buy more junk foods, less fresh foods, and fewer foods to cook from scratch.
You may even give yourself permission to buy a fast food dinner, based upon your having to get groceries on a “work” night.

Nah...

The stores stay open late for our convenience.

You can go home after work and prepare your dinner, do the dishes; then, go to the grocery store.

You usually stay up till 10 or 11 anyway, watching TV or reading my blogs.

No big deal.

Better yet, when you return to the store after you've had dinner, the benefits are great:
You're no longer hungry, so you won't be grouchy, and there is no waiting at the checkout!

You get home and put everything away, no fuss, no muss, and you're likely to be saving yourself calories, and money!

O.k!

So let’s get out there and ‘Live Wide Awake’ when getting our groceries!

Be sure to read tomorrow’s blog:

"How to shop the grocery store “Living Wide Awake”.

Your reading for tomorrow:

"A time of creative excellence; facing your secret fears to detour the subliminal attractions."

Peace.

Forget about Resisting

2010-10-17T11:57:00.001-04:00

Yesterday I tweeted a brief note about resistance, and I'd like to go a little further for you....

Part of the troubles so many people have is their connections to some kind of fear or negative thoughts that affect thinking, translating into their action.

Ok.

So, if you were thinking about what you DON'T want, a negative thought process, it's likely you bring it to yourself.

Fear is a strong vibrator, and by the strength of the impulses you feel so strongly NOT WANTING something, it vibrates toward you. It begins it's journey to you.

The more you return to that fear that has become a belief for you; the more it comes to you.

Got it? O.K.

So.

How to be different?

It's a Zen thing....

Capture those fleeting thoughts.

Become more aware of what you think.

Be more aware of your impulses.

Creating your awareness will harness the negative thought process long enough for you to correct, reset and be positive.

Awareness is the key.

Your first task now, is to begin to notice your resistance. Make notes. We'll tackle the corrections after your awareness is natural.

O.K.?

Over N Out For Now.

The Big Reveal of my 10-10-10!

2010-10-12T19:34:00.000-04:00

I have a message to share. This was my dream the morning of 10-10-10!

I was observing a man measuring a wave. He was on top of it.

----I wasn’t participating in the dream. (As an observer in a dream, the dream will play out displaying high and low points to the dreamer for learning)

So, while he measured I asked: “How can you tell if there’s been any change?” The man replied: “I can tell.”

Analysis:

The Spiritual ebb and flow is measurable in the non-physical realm.

(I was observing in the non-physical realm my spiritual activity being measured, not to any comparable standard, just being measured).

The man (my Inner Being- I call: “I.B.”) representing my conscience, was verifying my balanced state, as I observed.

The real observance here is the fact that my I.B. wasn’t depicting any issue, only that he is on top of it, with knowing if there were any changes in my spiritual base.

Another way of looking at this is that my thinking peaks in a nice balanced state when accessing my spiritual base, and that I am unconcerned, and not stressed knowing that my conscience is always there checking me. ---Sort of like on a job working alone, and not concerned or “Looking over your shoulder” for your Boss, that you are performing based upon what’s right and agreed upon.

Interesting, huh?

For me, it’s comforting to know that I’m balanced, coming from my Higher Powers. It’s difficult to even think or behave in a covert or less than spiritual fashion, as I haven’t looked back in 15 years. I agreed to a forward and upward momentum since 1995, and haven’t thought any other way since.

Keep those dreams coming, and I’ll choose one to post a free analysis soon. (anonymously of course!)

Peace.

Dream Reading---for Rita from Tennessee

2010-09-26T15:53:00.000-04:00

Here’s a dream that’s fairly common that comes from Rita in Tennessee:

I was a teenager and was taking a public speaking class. I was next in line to do my speech at the podium. When I walked up to the podium, I was naked, and I had no teeth! I did my speech, all the while thinking this is only a dream, and I’m not really naked and toothless in front of all these people. But, while speaking I was still very aware of being naked and toothless.
Worse yet, I woke up drenched in sweat, and so afraid, like it really happened! I don’t remember what the audience did. –Rita from Tennessee

Thanks for your entry Rita. Hmmm. This one is interesting, and common, believe it or not.

The Analysis

You (Rita) are re-living a former fear of performance anxiety. You’re rationalizing to yourself logically that this is just a dream.
What makes this interesting is yes, it’s a dream, but you’re not relaxing your mind even at rest! You’re over analyzing your fears!

The first fear is about being inadequate for your peers- not measuring up to the standards they all keep.

The second fear is that you’re afraid of what you might say, or have a slip up and say something that is bad or will cause harm to yourself or others.

Third fear is you feel unsupported, unprotected and exposed around others, in your group relationships.
Now… you’re aware of feeling unsupported, exposed and unprotected, but you have no outlet, no method to correct this, because you’re afraid to speak up!

These fears, regardless of your rational thinking are very real to you and are tiring you out in both your awakened life and your sleep.

And…clearly this isn’t about your peers, or there would be some relating activities with them.

The Solution

First, you can easily solve your feelings of being unsupported, unprotected and exposed by participating less in groups for a while, and see how you feel.

Second, refrain from hanging out with others that gossip or talk down about others, and don’t do that yourself.

You may have been afraid to slip away from these friends for fear of what they might think.

However, it’s what you think that counts (as far as your dream is saying, by virtue of the audience’s non-participation).

So, shift your thinking back to you, and not around what others think, spend less time with the group of friends, and see what happens!

This was fun, keep those dreams coming!

And Sweet Dreams till next time!

Peace.

Healing Experiences....What to expect

2010-09-11T22:32:00.000-04:00

Today I thought I’d have a little discussion about healing.

The healing I do is natural, and most people will feel sleepy and rest during their appointment. The time passes pretty quickly, and an hour feels like a blink.

The healing with which I am gifted is felt differently for everyone. On the average, people feel tingling, beginning a little, then a lot, like a buzzing though the body. Many feel heat, and it increases and cools like an ebb and flow. Many people dream or have visions that are quite significant for them and their healing.

Some folks will experience popping and slight movements in their body… There’s no discomfort, just the sounds.

One woman, who is quite intuitive, during her session, smelled roses the entire time. She recalled a woman to me, and said I knew her, and that she had roses. This woman was correct, as I had experienced an apparition years ago. The apparition was a woman, who left the fragrance of roses for weeks after her visit with me!
So, as you can see, healing with me can be different, yet a good experience.

Remote or distance healing experiences are similar. One woman recently reported after a remote healing appointment that she wanted to have more details after, to determine what is being healed. She said she really tried to stay awake, but found herself drowsing, dozing and zoning.
Please take note of this particular session. It’s important to let go and not participate by thinking or having any awareness. It’s much better for your body/mind to be totally free and relaxed, so healing occurs naturally, and with ease.

I donate several hours weekly in healing for HIV/AIDS and Stage 4 Cancer. In the event you know of someone who would like healing, feel free to contact me.

I enjoy healing, and treasure the time. Each and every healing experience is distinct and unique.

Like you, I’m blessed by each event, the love and joy in them, for it feels so divine.

Instant Manifestation

2010-04-27T22:51:00.000-04:00

It’s lucky for us we have mercury retrogrades three or four times a year.

Many people would say that’s not so true!
First off, for those unfamiliar, a Mercury Retrograde occurs when the planet Mercury will slow down and appear to reverse in its direction.
Mercury affects all communications, meaning conversations, telephones calls, cell phones, computers, television, mail, radio etc….
The really funny thing about Mercury Retrograde is that even though they occur on certain dates, such as this current retrograde began April 17, 2010 and will continue until May 11, 2010, they seem to occur before and after the dates.

I have a theory about that.

Interesting to note, in the “before” phase as Mercury approaches its retrograde position, it begins to present hints that communication conflicts are about to occur.

An example:
I was preparing some materials for a print project, knowing full well the retrograde was coming. Rather than focusing on the negative, I continued with the project figuring there will be plenty of time before the retrograde was in full bloom.

I was wrong!
The emails went well enough until 6 days before the official beginning of Mercury Retrograde. I received an email of conflict regarding the entire project! Rather than pursue it any further, I let the project go, and will reassess it at a later date. Reason being, the conflict will perpetuate again in different ways. It would be such a waste of energy knowing full well communications will resume in a less confusing way in a matter of a few weeks. So, I learn and let go.

Believe it or not Mercury Retrograde has its upside! Yup. When Mercury Retrograde is in full bloom because communications can be challenged, some sense can come in the confusion!
Like for example, someone recently was reassigned to a new section of their office. While the assignment was good, she wondered to herself how in the world this will work out with everyone knowing everyone, except her. Imagine her surprise within seconds of thinking that, a guy approached her and asked her to participate in the group lottery purchases!
That’s pretty good instant manifestation, if you ask me.
Why did that happen? Well, it’s about not being connected in much of a way to all the others, it’s more in her thinking that one thought which connected and like a piece of paper in the wind it floated and landed on that guy who came directly to her…
Wouldn’t it be great if all of our requests and desires were answered that quickly?

I have another example that happens best during a retrograde.
I have a favorite health food store I visit once in a while. I mentally asked for a parking place in the front of the store because if you park in the back or the side, it’s likely you’ll have to go around the block to come back on the street-a big inconvenience. By the time I got there a vacant space was available for my parking convenience-right in front! Non-Retrograde periods my instant manifestation requires revisiting that thought process and I think I already have that space reserved, and likely it’ll be there!
Being it is a Mercury Retrograde period, I pay attention to all the “signs” during the process, for the extra communications that arrive unexpectedly and unpredictably.
(Pay close attention to those signs, for they will be more telling during a retrograde than any other periods.)
Some people say during a Mercury Retrograde you should slow down, review, and start no new projects.

Recently, I made the decision to devote my time to doing readings, writing my book and blogging.
Funny thing, though. Out of the blue someone sent 2 versions of “Psych” to me in the mail…….
Someone I didn’t know and the DVD’s weren’t intended to be sent to me. It was amazing that I made a career addition before the retrograde and it followed with a retrograde confirmation of my shift! Another instant manifestation!

It’s uncanny how a Mercury Retrograde can affect the power of thought or a communication so strongly it reaches out and touches your thinking! Not meaning to coin a phrase it’s astronomical! …..Simply astronomical!

At one session I had told her I was having issues with my leg going numb right around my hip area. She immediately walked over and started going to work on it. She placed her hands on my leg for several minutes and I felt a sort of tingling feeling.
(I honestly didn't believe that it was going to do any good.) At the time there wasn't a huge change.

After I got home I noticed that the numbness was completely gone. I was totally shocked and amazed! I had tried "rubbing it" myself several times and didn't work.

Catherine only spent a few minutes on it and it was healed!!

Being Gifted and The Core Remedials

2010-04-16T13:17:00.000-04:00

I went to see Catherine to find answers to life's questions. I was
going through a divorce and a very difficult time. Catherine
immediately helped me from my first appointment. I felt comfortable and
at such peace being around her. She helped me realize so many things
about my self (that I wasn't able to see) from our very first meeting.

I was so amazed! I loved her gifts, and I knew I wanted to learn how to be gifted naturally myself, seeing how she was.

After a couple of sessions she talked about Core Remedials. I was a little nervous at first not knowing for sure what they were.
I was totally shocked! The info in each remedial was so connected with me! Some of them affected me so deeply.

After that first remedial session I felt somewhat lighter. Like a weight had been lifted off of me. What was even more amazing was how it had a lasting effect on me for the next several weeks. I felt things really changing in the way I deal with life. I was so much more awake and aware and in control of me, and where I wanted to go.

Catherine is truly amazing in what she does!

Core Remedials Testimonial

2010-04-02T21:53:00.000-04:00

Core Remedials Testimonial
I have been feeling great after the core remedials. I did feel a little rumble in my digestive tract the first couple of days, but nothing bad (I did get epsom salts). It's amazing, I really feel like a great weight has been lifted from me. I say the affirmations every day, and the difference is just amazing. It's hard to even explain, I feel lighter somehow (not in a "body weight" way, just better). It's as if (with your assistance & guidance of course), I've finally given myself permission to let go of toxic thoughts. You really got to the core issues and addressed what I was doing to myself, and I am so grateful to you for that. I am really excited for the next ones we do now!

Complimentary Herbals!

2010-03-25T10:57:00.005-04:00

Adding my herbal formulas as complimentary to the Medical Intuitive appointments is the best decision ever!

I’ve heard from many of you saying that now you can use more of my formulas.

Secondly, I’ve heard that you prefer the one-on-one format of the Medical Intuitive appointment to stay informed with changes, both with your conditions, and usage of the formulas.

Other comments focus on the fact that in offering appointments in this way, as the client you retain some dignity with a real person spending time being acquainted with you, and your use of my natural herbal formulas.

While I’m on this subject, I want to remind you that I cannot offer input with your pharmaceutical drugs, as it’s up to a registered physician or pharmacist to advise you in that area.

Please keep a good record of when you use my formulas, and follow the directions, varying the directions based upon your trials and errors.

Prior to your appointments, be ready with your questions and notes for effective time management and an informative appointment.

I’m elated that we’re having success with offering my formulas as complimentary with Medical Intuitive appointments, further contributing to your health and wellness.

Thanks again- and keep the comments coming!

The Safe Way to Stay Healthy-Testimonial

2010-02-25T18:04:00.003-05:00

I purchased the Flu Defender and the Defender in the midst of the H1N1 season and I am so glad I did! I have a 3 year old son who is in day care four days a week, so naturally I am exposed to the germs that circulate quickly among the children. When my son came down with a virus, I quickly began taking the Defender to keep myself healthy. It's difficult enough to take care of a sick toddler, but when you are sick yourself it becomes exhausting! Not to mention kids require constant attention and love when they are feeling bad, so my exposure level is very high. I consistently took the Defender while I was nursing him back to health, and I was able to stay healthy and avoid catching his cold! In the past I would get so frustrated that every time he caught something I was not far behind him. Now that I have the Defender and the Flu Defender I can relax knowing that I have a natural, safe way of staying healthy throughout the year!

Thanks- Jennifer in Colorado

The Defender Testimonial

2010-02-25T17:15:00.003-05:00

Dear Catherine,

I have 3 school aged boys and as you can imagine the germs that come
home are amazing. One of the boys came home feeling very sick from
school so I contacted you to get some Defender. He started taking the
Defender right away and after a short while started feeling much
better. His fever was at 103 and by the next day the fever was totally
gone and he was up running around again. A few weeks later I started
getting a cough and just feeling very tired. I immediately swallowed
two Defender right away. After a couple of doses I re-gained my energy
back and my cough started feeling much better. We keep an endless
supply around the house for anytime any of us start feeling yucky. The
boys have even started telling friends at school about this "magic"
pill that we get from Catherine when we are feeling sick. I have also
started recommending it to family and friends because with all that is
going around right now it's nice to know that there is something that
really works!!

Taking natural remedies for H1N1

2009-10-20T12:45:00.004-04:00

Now for my updates on H1N1…..
I want to offer more input on how to take my formulas…
With the first signs of any bug (see previous blogs) take several Defender™ (from 2-5 capsules) right away. And, after an hour if the symptoms are less, take 1 Defender™ less, and in the next hour if the symptoms persist, go back to the same amount of Defender™ you took previously. Reduce your intake when symptoms remain less, until The Defender is no longer needed.

The Defender™ is unique as it is a natural antibiotic. It’s useful by taking a bolus (2-5 capsules) at first, and then reduce your intake as the symptoms subside, until the symptoms are gone. Flu fevers have been known to re-occur within 12-24 hours, and symptoms can re-erupt as well. Taking The Defender™ at a minimum of 3-4 hours apart after the flu symptoms are gone is for your protection.
The Defender™ is quite economical compared to other products or co-pays.

The Flu Defender™ is also different, in that it fights flu symptoms. The Flu Defender™ is effective with no more than 1-3 capsules every 3-4 hours. Combining The Defender™ and the Flu Defender™ when fighting flu at the first sign or when noticing real symptoms, is serious, and requires your immediate and ongoing attention.
Our formulas are packaged in 90 capsule content per package. This translates to when your bout of the flu is gone and you are re-exposed and become ill, you will likely have enough Flu Defender™ and The Defender™ still available to naturally regain your good health as quickly as possible. Our formulas provide relief from flu symptoms without risk of interactions or side effects, like drowsiness or sleeplessness.
We at The Natural Sage™ care about your health and wellness, and we offer a brief free telephone consultation for your use of our formulas during this Pandemic.
I realize how controversial the Swine Flu Pandemic is becoming due to it being widespread in all the states to date, its high mortality rates and inoculations.
However, the problem at hand is about how to maintain public wellness instead of becoming bogged down in the circumstances from so many opinions as displayed in the link below.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/16/60minutes/main5390519.shtml

Please gather your facts, and determine what is best for you and your family. Keep in mind that if you take the shot and still get symptoms, The Defender™ and the Flu Defender™ are natural choices for you and your family’s wellness. Just follow the directions, and take the formulas at the first sign of symptoms.
Don’t wait until you’re sure you have symptoms. Flu is very rapid, different from a cold virus.
My experiences so far with exposures to H1N1 have been good. I had experienced a dry throat and little chills following an appointment, and started taking The Defender™.
It took a full day before the symptoms were gone.
I’ve used these formulas since I created them, and have not had even a sniffle.

That’s all I have for today. Take care. Be well.

Subtle Signs of The Swine Flu (H1N1)

2009-08-26T11:52:00.003-04:00

As amazing as this sounds these symptoms are so subtle, that very often people are caught up in the symptoms long before they realize they are getting sick!

Nasal drip in the back of the throat-it begins at night with coughing, choking, tightness in chest, shortness of breath, an unproductive cough.
Wheezy chest, constant throat clearing.
Dry throat.
Dry eyes, scratchy eyes, hot eyes.
excessive heat just in your face, around sinuses.
Slight sinus burn in one or both nasal cavities.
It can get worse, however with preventive measures you can get rid of it before it becomes much worse....

How To Take Flu Defender and The Defender

2009-08-26T11:43:00.003-04:00

How to use/take Flu Defender and The Defender:

Remember: every hour on the Defender, every 3-4 hours on the flu Defender. When symptoms subside, decrease the Flu Defender first. Like this:

1st hour:
2 Flu, 2 defender
2nd hour less symptoms:
1 Defender
3rd hour: symptoms back:
2 Defender
4th hour symptoms still there:
2 Defender 2 Flu Defender

and so on.....

So the Flu Defender is for symptoms of the flu, to diminish. The Defender is the natural antibiotic, killing bugs with no contraindications, as with regular antibiotics may produce yeast infections. With The Defender you take it till symptoms are gone then one more day. If symptoms reappear go back to 2 an hour for 4 hours then 1 an hour. That ought to do it.
The Defender formula capsules can be taken in bulk amounts-no more then 4 at a time.
The Flu Defender isn't an antibiotic and has different ingredients and is strong on the lungs and liver/stomach, which is why it cannot be taken as often, or in bulk.

Dog Flu -H3N8 canine flu

2009-08-24T21:56:00.005-04:00

For those of you that have dogs, yes, there is a dog flu.
And yes, there is a flu vaccine for them.
If you feel strongly about vaccinations with your dog, in particular a smaller/petite dog, you do have a choice for protection.
Our Top Dog formulas have yet to be entered into our web site, however for those of you interested in an all natural formula for cold/sinus, bacteria/virus/flu for your dogs we have the Canine Defender. It is in its powdered state, no capsules.
The reason for no capsules is this:
As some of you know, I'm a Dog/Horse Whisperer, and its been whispered to me many times about how they hate the vaccinations and how sick they are from them. Your dogs also dislike immensely having pills forced down their throat, as evidenced by their gnawing your fingers off...
I've suggested through the years to use a very fragrant, tasty meat like a pot roast, or a ham slice, (never cold)and wrap a dose of Canine Defender powder up in it. Guaranteed they'll eat it.
Another method is to fix a special meal of real meat/veggies a little warmed and add a dose of Canine Defender powder to it. They will equate this dinner as a treat with our medicinal formula in it, and want to take Canine Defender as often as necessary.
Feel free to give us a call with your questions about Canine Defender and any of our guaranteed products. We're happy to answer your questions. You and your dogs are important to us.

H1N1 Swine Flu

2009-08-24T19:59:00.003-04:00

I realize I may be going on and on...And, it's likely I will.
This is a serious situation, not to be taken lightly. Many people in our U.S. population will be affected, as will in other countries.
Flu has come and gone in the past, however, epidemics and pandemics require much more prudent, decisive, actions.
Please do not take this lightly.
If you're intolerant to flu shots, please consider purchasing our Defender and Flu Defender as your first line of defense.
We also have additional products to take for symptoms etc.
The preventive action is what all media and governments from federal to local are emphasizing, which includes hand wipes etc.
Our products are excellent for prevention if slight symptoms are noticed.
All natural products are more than likely to be interpreted in the body as helpful, rather than chemical products,with contraindications.
Feel free to call for brief questions about our products.

Latest news 8-24-09

2009-08-24T19:57:00.001-04:00

This from ABC World News

The nation is bracing for the return of Swine Flu this fall. The traditional flu season sets in each year when children return to schools. This year, becuase of Swine Flu, things are very different. It is a point underlined today with the release of a grim outlook.

The report was released by a group of top scientists tasked with looking at the Swine Flu threat and the nation's preparedness. They are careful to say the following is not a "prediction" but rather a "plausible scenario" of what we may face, soon:

--30-50% of the US population may become infected with the flu

--As many as 1.8 million Americans may need to be hospitalized

--Swine Flu could very well result in a big uptick in deaths from flu. In a normal year some 30,000-40,000 Americans die from flu. This year, with Swine Flu, that number could range upwards from 30,000 to 90,000.

--And this new, unique type of flu posses an especially high danger for the young as well as those with pre-existing health conditions including pregnant women

This just in....

2009-08-19T01:16:00.002-04:00

The news two nights ago stated the Swine Flu shots won't be ready till December! As I've been saying my concern about the lack of protection in place for the population is severely lacking.
School begins in earnest next week. Parents will have tremendous exposures from the children in school, combined with work, church and the grocery, it's a barrage of opportunities to become infected with Swine Flu(H1N1). Why am I writing about this? Because I remember the last Swine Flu epidemic.
If the parents build immunity by taking our Flu formulas at the first sign and continue to take it until they have no more symptoms, they will be well enough to take care of the little ones, when they inevitably bring it home.

We at The Natural Sage™ have effective herbal medicinal solutions to the Swine Flu (H1N1) for adults and children over 12 years old.
For 16 years our herbals have contributed to wellness.
Let The Defender™ and Flu Defender™ formulas be your solutions to the Swine Flu Pandemic.

Recipes for Building a healthy life

2009-08-08T21:03:00.002-04:00

I'm concerned about the imbalances in diets, and decided to add a few selections from my kitchen to assist those in creating a more healthful lifestyle. The following is breakfast, lunch and dinner to start.

BUILDING A HEALTHY LIFE™

Easy Recipes for Good Health

(For One)

Increase volume by doubling or tripling recipes

Breakfast:

Fruit salad

Oatmeal

2% Milk

Honey

Ingredients for Fruit Salad:

1 Apple

1 Pear

1 Banana

1 small orange

Several cherries (fresh only)

To do:

Wash all fruit

Cut the apple in small pieces, removing core, and place in large bowl.

Cut pear in small pieces, add to bowl

Cut banana in small slices, add to bowl

Peel orange separate segments and cut segments in half, adding all but 4 uncut segments

Take the 4 segments and squeeze the juice from them onto the fruit salad

Half the cherries and pit them, and add to the salad

Choose whole grains-for oatmeal such as cooks in 5 minutes, it’s processed much less

Add your choice of Milk or a tsp of honey to your Oatmeal.

Note: Your breakfast is loaded with vitamins and minerals and fiber! Guaranteed to last you longer than a fast food breakfast loaded with fats and sugars.

Lunch

Green salad with chicken breast, homemade dressing

Green salad: lettuce, cucumber, radishes, green onions, tomato, Kidney beans or garbanzos, Rinsed and drained

4 ozs. Chicken breast

Olive oil

Lemon

French roll

To do:

Sear your skinless chicken breast seasoned in garlic powder (not salted garlic) or garlic (fresh-you dice) in Olive Oil turning it several times until cooked and nicely browned.

While chicken is cooking:

Wash and dry lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces,

Wash cucumber, radishes, tomatoes, green onions, dice and add to salad bowl

Rinse /drain beans- Add about ¼ cup to large bowl

While chicken is cooling make dressing:

Add about 2 tblsp. Olive oil to the salad, then squeeze a lemon on a juicer and add to the salad, mix well with the salad already coated with Olive Oil.

Dice the warm Chicken and add it to the salad, and mix well.

Tear the French roll; eat in small pieces with salad

Note: by not using a chemically induced salad dressing filled with sugars and fats your lunch will lend oxygen to your body, and the dressing contributes positively to the blood and your digestive organs. If weight loss is your goal, a diet such as this will get you started! You’re eating a lunch filled with protein, chlorophyll, vitamin and mineral nutrients-all valuable for your health/wellness.

Dinner

4oz Salmon or Dover Sole

Green Beans

Carrots

Mix of long grained white rice, a small amount of Wild rice and Short grain Brown Rice=1cup

Rosemary pieces

Pat of butter

Cayenne

Garlic pepper (no sugar type)

Ginger root

To do:

Rinse your fish; rub it with garlic and a little olive oil, and season with a very small amount of Italian spray salad dressing.

Broil the fish until the fish is no longer translucent. DO NOT EAT FISH UNCOOKED-THEY ARE LOADED WITH PARASITES UNTIL COOKED AT A GOOD HEAT!

Also-Sole is a very fast broil- so put it on after the rice and green beans/carrots are done, as it takes about 5 minutes to broil.

The rice takes the longest to cook- Add 2 parts water to 1 part rice: the rice should have about 1-2” of water over it. Such as 1cup rice and 2 cups water

Boil rice on med high till water is almost gone and little holes appear where the boiling occurred, turn the heat down to low and cover until rice is a nice soft grainy texture, and then take it off the heat.

Sprinkle a little Cayenne or Paprika on rice, add a pat of butter, and toss in bowl and cover

While rice is cooking:

Use the Tiny whole green beans in the frozen food counter (to save time) and peel a couple of carrots, dice and add with the green beans to a pot with Olive oil added to coat the bottom of the pan.

Add a clove of minced Garlic, and peel the skin of a small corner of the Ginger Root, and peel the ginger again till all the peeled ginger is gone adding it to the carrots and Green beans,

Sautee all lightly, until the green beans and carrots are tender,

Cover and let them sit.

Add Garlic pepper and very small amounts of Rosemary to taste to your Fish

Spoon rice on your plate, add the veggies over the rice and sprinkle a little Garlic Pepper over them

Enjoy!

Your Dinner is loaded with Omega Fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamins and mineral nutrients, contributing to your health!

What I hear and see on the news about H1n1

2009-07-15T14:06:00.000-04:00

I'm concerned about the media treatment of H1N1 (Swine Flu).

I realize the media has to be suppressed, to prevent stampedes at the local hospitals, clinics and grocers where the flu shots will be available in October.

However, to date there are no resources for current outbreaks other than your doc in a box or the hospital. And there have been deaths.

In the event the pandemic is planned to be treated like a disaster, then after a fashion it's likely too many people at once will become ill. Will this treatment be similar to the Hurricane Katrina debacle? Then deaths will be the norm; public outcry including media will be suppressed all the more. The global wellness at that point could be under the controlling influences of the drug companies, with no recourse.

My greatest concern is if there will be enough care and medicine available for those that contract H1N1, prior to the deadline of "October" and after the deadline when all the shots and Otc meds are dispensed. This is 2009, with global government spending over the top, the drug companies will be the deciding factor. Will the drug companies be humanitarian with our current economy trending toward whatever money-making methods available, creating a "Bottom Line" business world, focused on capital and liquidity, market share and profits?

I wonder...

I promise my herbal company will do it's part in business and ethics with our herbal formulas for flu and viral infections. We are small, and take care of our personal health which in turn cares for the business that creates your products for your wellness.

I guess I'm an idealist. I want global wellness.
