As a practitioner of abdominal therapy, I always start a session by tuning into the temperature of different areas of the abdomen. One common theme I see repeatedly with prolapsed organs, fibroids, thyroid dysfunction, low energy and emotionally “stuck” clients is a cold belly.

Squatty Potty Review

by Barbara Horsley | Feb 19, 2012 | Alignment, Happy Belly | 130 comments

In this article, I look at natural and mechanical ways to improve prolapsed uterus.

Mantak Chia explains, “The five elemental phases are expressions of energy that can be observed in nature and throughout the universe. On Earth, they represent the four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall
