Despite being delicious, tea also offer many health benefits including a high antioxidant level to prevent illness, and calming and comforting properties to soothe when the occasional cold or time of stress does arise.

When it comes to drinking tea, we definitely recommend choosing an Organic Loose Leaf tea to ensure the highest possible quality.

Organic tea is grown and processed without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers and chemicals. This not only benefits you and the health benefits you receive from the tea, but it means you are supporting farmers and tea plantations who treated fairly, and not exposed, or exposing the tea and Earth to toxic chemicals commonly used in the production of conventional tea.

Still wondering why Organic Loose Leaf Tea is considered healthy?

Perhaps the best known health benefit of drinking organic tea is from the high level of polyphenols the actual tea leaves contain. Polyphenols are a natural type of antioxidant that fight free radical molecules in the environment. It is these same free radicals that can cause damage to our cells, and cause cancer or heart disease.

Organic Green tea and organic black tea have the highest amount of antioxidant benefits. Tea also has antibacterial properties that are said to improve oral health by and act as a natural breath freshener!

At Rainbow Doorways we are happy to now carry a selection of Organic Loose Leaf Teas made by Tahoe Teas.

The Tahoe Tea philosophy is simple and pure, and one we can get behind!   Honest product, honest people and honest business practices. Love, trust, respect, inspire, believe and live free!

Protected by the government, this wood may only be obtained after the natural death of the tree, or from pieces found on the ground.  To retain its special properties, the dead tree must lay on the ground for another 6-10 years before harvesting the wood for its “holy” properties.  The wood is then cut into sticks or ground into sawdust to form incense cones.  Essential oils can be extracted from the tree but will only produce any essences if the tree goes through the right process of natural death and resting for 6-10 years.

Using Palo Santo as an incense stick has many uses.   Its smoke repels mosquitoes and insects of any kind.  Lighting it in your home will also help clear away any evil spirits or bad energy.  With a very aromatic fragrance, Palo Santo can assist in meditation, and sending you on a spiritual journey! 

Another way to use Palo Santo is by boiling the stick or sawdust in water and drinking the tea. With such a high limonene content that is not found in other trees, Palo Santo can be used as an herbal medicinal tea as a respiratory aid for colds, asthma, coughs, and relieves headaches or migraines.  People now use the essential oil to relieve pain in massage therapy as it is known to decrease inflammation.

Not only does it smell sweet, but it is anti-viral.  This wood is definitely useful in its many different forms.  Try one out!  It will become  a regular staple in your household to help cleanse and purify your home and your body!

In Chinese medicine, it is believed that these balls improve one’s health and mind function when used on a daily basis.  The palms of our hands are filled with many acupressure points that connect to different parts of our bodies.  Hands also carry meridian points that act as pathways or channels where Qi moves throughout the body.  Since Baoding balls are used by repeatedly rotating 2 or more balls in one hand, we massage these acupressure and meridian points.  This results in improved circulation throughout the body getting our blood to flow to all our organs and that helps our body to function at an optimal level.   Also, by stimulating the meridian points, we move stagnant Qi.  Through the exercise of rotating the balls by making sure that there are even and constant contact between them, we also strengthen our forearm, hand, and shoulder muscles and joints.  Thus, improving manual dexterity which helps to relieve arthritis in the hand.

There are many ways that these Chinese medicine balls help heal the body, but they also help to heal the mind.  They are greatly recommended for people in times of stress.  The act of rotating the balls in a circular motion helps to place one in a meditative state, therefore relieving stress.  By understanding that we can access all the vital organs of our bodies through our hands, we can also believe in starting to heal everything by the simple act of rolling two Baoding balls one hand at a time.

Properties of Azurite Crystals

I’m here at Rainbow Doorways doing some work today, and very thankful for this opportunity to “hang out” with the lovely Azurite Crystal I’m holding in the pic to the left.

Azurite Crystals are brilliantly dark blue in color and very closely connected to the spiritual realm.

In times of Ancient Egypt, Azurite crystals were known as magic stones that served to increase spiritual powers.

Today, Azurite is known to be a stone that guides psychic and intuitive development… urging the soul towards enlightenment. The way this works, is by cleansing and stimulating the third eye, and attuning to spiritual guidance.

Azurite clears any stress, worry, grief ,or  sadness and helps you to lighten up! Azurite transmutes fears and phobias while offering insight into why they occured in the first place.

According to Judy Hall’s Crystal Bible, Azurite will assist in treating throat problems, arthritis, and joint problems, it will work to align the spine, and works at cellular level to restore any blockage or damage to the brain. It also heals kidney, gallbladder, and liver problems and treats the spleen, thyroid, bones and teeth, skin, and even aids in the detoxification process.

Very connected to the mind and metal process; Azurite brings about clear understanding and new perspectives actually expanding the mind. It also assists in stimulating memory, and releasing long standing blocks in communication.

Azurite challenges those who encounter it to let go of programmed belief systems, and move into the unknown without fear, reaching new insights and a new paradigm of reality.

I don’t know about you… but I’m in!

Deep Tissue Massage and Swedish Massage are two of the most loved massage therapy modalities practiced today. Despite the popularity of both types of massage, there is still much confusion for many people when they are asked this question:

Would you like a sweedish massage or deep tissue massage?

At first glance this simple question may seem to indicate that the difference between the two massage modalities is that a swedish massage simply lacks pressure. The truth however, is that Swedish Massage can be performed with a great deal of pressure, or with lighter pressure depending on the clients needs.

So what is the real difference in Swedish vs Deep Tissue?

First lets take a look at Swedish Massage. 

Swedish Massage is a very comfortable and relaxing style of massage that uses five styles of long, circular and flowing strokes to massage the bodies soft tissue. Great for relaxing stressed or overworked muscles, Swedish massage also enhances the circulation of blood throughout your entire body while promoting good health, and assisting you in letting go and relaxing.

Deep Tissue Massage on the other hand, is a massage modality focused on relieving severe tension and pain in muscles and the deeper connective tissues or fascia. Deep tissue massage is aimed at the muscles below the surface and top layer muscles. Deep Tissue massage is typically recommended for athletes, individuals with constant pain, or patients who are recovering from a specific injury. Common deep tissue massages are focused on relieving pain in the neck, arms, legs, and thighs. Deep pressure should be expected with this type of massage, and while any pain should be reported, it is not uncommon for muscle ache to replace pain for a few days after a massage.

Difference Between Swedish vs Deep Tissue

Simply put, Swedish massage promotes relaxation and deep tissue massage is used to unknot deeper stressed muscles. In a Swedish Massage the therapist will use long flowing massage strokes, pressure and circular movement to enhance the circulatory system.  Deep Tissue on the other hand is much more focused on relieving stress in an area of the body that hurts really bad.

Essentially, Swedish massage is done with long circular movement for relaxation and improved circulation, while deep tissue is focused on one area to unknot stressed muscles. 

At Rainbow Doorways our massage therapists will always communicate with you about your specific needs to provide you with the best massage experience. But, now that you know the difference between Swedish and Deep Tissue, whenever you decide to treat yourself with a massage, you will already know which type of massage will be best for your body and needs.

Another wonderful property of Selenite is that it has the power to cleanse and clear other crystals and negative energies. You will never need to cleanse or recharge your Selenite crystal, as you need to do with many metaphysical stones.

Selenite is one of the more powerful healing stones for the new age and spiritual work. It is excellent for meditation, and ensures a peaceful environment when stones are placed around the home.

Rubbing a smooth piece of Selenite will calm and lift your energy and may even help you enter into the realm of dreams, intuition, Spiritual Guides and Angels.

If you are interested in increasing your psychic or telepathic abilities, place a piece of Selenite on your Third Eye Chakra (in between or slightly above your eyebrows).

These are just a few of the many healing and metaphysical properties of  Selenite. The insight and energy Selenite provides is valuable in any healing or spiritual practice.
