In a world that is in constant need of instant gratification and measures happiness based on social media appearance and likability, I can safely say we are all in need of kindness.  Throughout the world, generations young and old are judging self worth, happiness and confidence based on what appears to be rather than reality.  We are in constant comparison and competition with false ideas of what we should be, when we really should be loving ourselves for who we truly are on the inside and for how we treat everyone we meet.
 
Kindness is blind.  Kindness does not care what is trending, what’s in season, how much money we make, where we work, where we live, who we’re dating or anything else materialistic or superficial.  Kindness are the tears streaming down the face of someone grateful to receive a meal, kindness is the warm hug with someone who feels alone, kindness is the smile you share with a stranger, kindness is believing in someone when they no longer believe in themself, kindness is world peace, kindness is making a difference that only you know about.
 
Kindness is a capability we are all blessed with and expected to share every single day.  The importance of lending a helping hand, laughing, donating time, money, food or shelter, listening, complimenting or saying I love you make more of a difference than you might think.  Kindness changes lives and more importantly, saves lives.  As we embark on a new year, I challenge each of you to make kindness a priority and watch as it not only changes others lives for the better but your own life as well!

Self-love, intuition and balance are three key components in a natural lifestyle.  Learning how to incorporate these into our daily routines is essential in order to truly live a healthy and happy life.  In today’s society, it has become commonplace to eat on the go, purchase cheap processed foods and rush around day in and day out to see how much we can “accomplish” before nightfall.  When we take a step back and look at this chaotic way of living, we are in fact doing more harm than good.  

Ancient wisdom teaches us that we are directly connected to nature and the universe. The seasons and cycles of nature have always maintained a patient pace.  As human beings, we have conformed to a quick fix, need to have it now mentality, which has a severely unhealthy and unnatural pace. This robotic lifestyle leaves little time for the important things in life.  It can also lead to depression, stagnation and unbalance.  Learning the vital importance of realigning with nature’s cycle and flow will in turn lead us to a peaceful life.

Seasonal eating goes hand in hand with ancient wisdom.  The two paired together can set us up for a remarkable journey.  All too often, we are given a plethora of options at the grocery store from mangos to watermelons and everything in-between regardless of season. The deep connection between your body and local environment causes an alert when you begin eating foreign produce.  Eating cooling foods in winter can compromise the body’s immune system and bring on the cold or flu at a rapid rate.  The digestive system can also be complicated, which can lead to a number of different illnesses.  In order to eat in season, choose local and organic foods from farmers markets or a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  These options are affordable, give back to the community and provide your body the nutrients it needs from your own backyard!

Take care of the beautiful body you have been given and treat it with the respect it deserves!  Be patient, cook with love, spend time around the table with loved ones and practice a natural, patient and balanced lifestyle.  Believe me, your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it!

When a loved one passes away, we are often filled with an abundance of overwhelming emotions.  Suffering the loss of a dear friend or family member can often leave us feeling sad, alone, heartache, anger, confusion and frustration.  We often find ourselves asking WHY?

While it takes plenty of time, love, support and patience to find the strength and courage to continue to live our own lives again, we often receive an extra nudge to move forward from those we have lost, when we least expect it.

Many souls that have died too soon, unexpectedly or left a true love behind often linger here on earth.  They are here because they are also feeling the same overwhelming emotions.  They are scared, alone, sad or confused and want to be with us as much as we want to still be with them.  It is through healing and listening to our spiritual protectors that we are able to continually communicate with those we love dearly.  They are present in every miraculous, coincidental, lucky or “what are the chances” moments as well as times that seem inconvenient but prove to be life saving. 

If we pay attention to the world at large, stay in tune with nature and listen to our intuition, these loved ones are much closer than we think.  Although they are no longer physically here with us, they vow to watch over, guide and love us until we meet them on the other side.

Join What Matters Most as we explore the Haunted Farmers Hope Inn in Pennsylvania and learn that true love never dies. 

What Matters Most had the chance to chat with Medical Intuitive, Martine Bloquiaux about the healing powers and detecting abilities that come from within.  A Medical Intuitive is someone who possesses the ability to detect physical and emotional deficiencies through their senses.  Many practitioners believe we all have the ability to detect if something is wrong by simply becoming more in touch with our own senses and practicing awareness.

Martine believes the healing process begins with understanding a healthy lifestyle, diet, allergy triggers, emotional trauma and spiritual path.  She believes in working cohesively with western medical professionals as well as alternative medical professionals to form a solution to each individuals needs.
