Meditation 101

Emotions, Kara McNabb, Mind Body and Spirit, Mindfulness, Natural Health, NaturopathyNo commentsawareness, Body, healing, Health, meditate, meditation, Mind, Natural Health, naturopathyDecember 15, 2017Kara McNabb

I sat on the carpet. I sat with my back against a wall. I sat in a chair. I laid in savasana. I tried everything I could think of to meditate. But I never seemed able to achieve it – or even come close to it.

I’d done a bunch of reading. I’d heard a lot of personal stories. It seemed like meditation was a breeze and led to something profound. They solved their problems. They tapped into their subconscious. They saw colors and received messages.

In fact, the first time I did a group breath work meditation, one person found herself in some visualization of goddess like energy and beautiful forests with messages coming from the animals. I was slightly embarrassed to share my comparably boring experience. …

Redefining the Root of Stress

Emotions, Kara McNabb, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Naturopathy, StressNo commentsawareness, beliefs, Emotions, mind-body, Natural Health, naturopathy, stressNovember 21, 2017Kara McNabb

Stress. It’s a word we’re all familiar with and a feeling we’ve all experienced.

We know it’s the silent killer. We know it contributes to heart attacks and strokes.

We know how stress feels when we have lousy co-workers. We know how it feels when a partner is unreliable. We know how it feels when the kids never seem to listen. We know how it feels when we’re running late. We know how it feels when we look at the insurmountable to-do list. We know how it feels when we add one more commitment to our life. We know how it feels when finances are tight. We know how it feels to feel sick or in pain. We know how it feels to believe that all of this is just a fact of life.

All of those are certainly stressful situations, but my definition of stress is something a bit different. …

My Wake-Up Call

Guest Post, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Self Care, StressNo commentsguest post, Love, mind-body, Natural Health, naturopathy, self-care, self-love, wake up callOctober 18, 2017Kara McNabb

Something really strange has been happening in our home lately.

First of all, our house has been clean and seems to always be picked up. This, in and of itself, feels quite monumental. And quite foreign considering we have two kids ages 5 & 8.

Getting the kids off to school has been a breeze. We never feel rushed and even arrive early. Alarming, right?…

Becoming an Adult – Part 2

Emotions, Micah McLaughlin, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, NaturopathyNo commentsEmotions, mind-body, Natural Health, Naturopathic Practitioner, naturopathyAugust 23, 2017Kara McNabb

I recently explored the concept of state and the necessity of becoming aware of the state we’re in for self-growth. You can read about that here. Often we unconsciously attempt to shift our internal states in less than ideal ways or seek attention based on our childhood patterns. However, if we become aware of our state, we are then freed to choose a more skilled way to shift this state. We learn how to live from our empowered adult self. …

Becoming an Adult – Part 1

Emotions, Micah McLaughlin, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Naturopathy2 commentsawareness, Emotions, healing, inner child, mind-body, Natural Health, naturopathy, self awarenessAugust 9, 2017Kara McNabb

State:

  1. 1a :  mode or condition of being a state of readiness (1) :  condition of mind or temperament

What state are you in right now?

Are you feeling tired yet hopeful? Vulnerable but passionate? Do you have to pee or are you hungry? Are you anxious about the future or regretting the past?  Maybe you are bored or worried.

We are always shifting through different states. …

Everything You Fear Has Already Happened

I listened to a voicemail one day from an acquaintance. “Hey Kara. Give me a call back. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”

I froze. Immediately, my mind spun into a cyclone of possibilities of what I could have done wrong. I braced myself for getting in trouble, for getting lectured, for knowing that I’d likely freeze, unable to defend myself. My heart pounded, my skin reddened, my chest was tight as it held these anxious feelings.…

Not Quite Your Average Naturopath

When I tell people I am a naturopath, I usually feel compelled to explain what it is that I actually do. Sometimes, I feel like the title naturopath does not fully encompass the work we are doing here at Continuum Healing.…

The Algorithm of Conventional Medicine

Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Naturopathy, Rebecca deVries, Web DesignNo commentsconventional medicine, healing, individual, Natural Health, uniqueApril 19, 2017Kara McNabb

I once saw a comic that depicted a goldfish, a monkey, a penguin, an elephant, a seal, a bird, and a dog all standing in front of a desk. The man behind the desk was providing an exam for the animals. The test: everyone had to climb the tree behind them. The comic speaks to the absurdity of the educational system in that it treats all individuals the same, when clearly we are different, have different characteristics, different capabilities, different stories, different traits.…

Eat, Drink, and be Merry!

Food, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Rebecca deVriesNo commentsbelief, food, holism, limiting beliefApril 12, 2017Kara McNabb

Does it really matter what we consume if we are going to die anyway? Really? If I want to enjoy my life then I should eat what I want to eat and drink what I want to drink and consume what I want to consume. I mean what does it matter if we all end up 6 feet under, or cremated, or turned into a tree or diamond or whatever people are doing with their bodies these days. If all this hard work in clean eating and living only gets us a couple more years, then forget it I will party hardy! Dead is dead — so lets eat, drink, and be merry!…
