Years ago, I did biofeedback sessions out of a small shop on Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
The owner had me tucked into a little room in the back, separated from the merchandise area by a room filled with bookshelves.
At the time, I was recovering from a serious illness, so I spent virtually all my free time at home hooked up to my biofeedback device—then known as the QXCI—working on myself while watching TV.
Anyway, one day I was walking out of my office and through the bookshelves area when a book literally fell off a shelf.
It landed open to a page that said:
STOP WATCHING TV.
Seriously.
You hear stories like this and think, “Yeah, right.”
Except it happened to me, so I know it’s true.
Anyway, I stopped watching TV.
Which may explain why I didn’t know until this morning about the Cyclospora outbreak.
And it made me think back to the other day when parasite-related stress showed up in our scan.
Interesting timing.
Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that infects the small intestine and can cause significant digestive symptoms. Prolonged illness can also contribute to dehydration and nutritional challenges.
Here’s what we know right now:
Federal health officials are investigating a multistate Cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at certain Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.
As always, headlines can make things sound even more frightening than they are.
Still, this feels like something worth addressing from a stress-management perspective before we move on.
We already had a Cyclospora cocktail, but it has now been upgraded.
I’ve also been looking at herbs traditionally used to support digestive comfort and recovery after digestive stress:
Calendula
Chamomile
Cilantro
Cinnamon
Fennel
Garlic in food
Ginger
Lemon balm
Marshmallow root
Oregano as a culinary herb
Parsley
Peppermint
Rosemary
Slippery elm
Thyme
Turmeric
For today, we’re asking for the energetic and informational benefits associated with:
Chamomile
Lemon Balm
Marshmallow Root
Calendula
Turmeric
Thyme
Oregano
Not as a substitute for 3D food, herbs, or medical treatment—but as part of the energetic stress-management work we do.
Until we hear less about this situation, the herbal scan will be done every day.
And today’s message is simple:
Whether it comes from the news, a scan, or a book falling off a bookshelf…
…sometimes it’s a good idea to pay attention.
