FOCUS ON HEALTH DURING THESE UNPRECENTED TIMES! …..LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR!
Dear Friends, I’ve been thinking a lot about all of you during this bizarre time, and I sincerely hope you are in good health! It seems like every day, there’s a new dramatic event to process, and it’s taken a toll on families and businesses alike. When my son received his first vaccine at two weeks old, at the doctor’s request, I had no idea that the terrible skin eruption, asthma, and sleepless nights—seeing blood on his sheets—would lead me to establish a healing ministry and practice that has now helped people for over 40 years, all over the world. That was the last vaccine for my children. Of all the things I see as I go about my day, what concerns me most is the fear in people’s eyes. Many of my students, friends, and neighbors, who are walking or jogging in the summer heat with masks on, are afraid to get too close—no hugs, no handshakes, and no smiles behind those masks. We were not created to live in fear! “For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” Faith over fear is my motto! During my meditation today, I was inspired by this ancient biblical saying: “Trust Me, do not be afraid.” Do not be frightened by world events or news reports that have removed this essential factor. My presence is in the world. Delight in my awesome glory and power and in my unfailing love. Rejoice that you are on an adventurous journey with me, and enjoy the rich relationship I offer you—fear will subside, and joy will rise within you. Trust me wholeheartedly; I am your strength! In life, we often feel crushed—disappointed, frustrated, and confused, with emotions bottling up. We may feel isolated by keeping these emotions hidden, but this is part of a process. It builds character, teaching us patience. In this season of waiting, delays are not always denials; they are a designed plan to glean greatness from the ordinary. Remember, the next time you feel overlooked or underappreciated, as we all do from time to time, that nothing extraordinary ever comes easily. Just as it takes immense pressure to create a flawless diamond from a lump of coal, or intense heat to refine gold, or a lot of irritation to form a pearl, it is the struggles in life that eventually make everything so sweet! A door will open…HOPE is in the future, and it will change all our lives for the better. God has a plan for all our lives. One thing we need to do today: NEVER GIVE UP Great character comes from those who are willing to wait patiently and do their part. Take your health seriously now—it is your greatest wealth! Follow the right path. Always trust in God; you’ll be happy you did. Better days are coming. Health Tips: Adopt a live food habit. Exercise at least 5 times a week. Get sunlight daily. Know that a vegan diet provides ALA, which converts to EPA, giving you more grey matter and better cognitive function. Incorporate blue-green algae—all of which are superior to animal products or fish oil, which don’t provide enough and can damage and clog arteries, leading to strokes, heart disease, and cancer. Plant protein provides the highest amino acids, and the microbiome thrives on fiber from plants—animal products have no fiber. Work hard on becoming the healthiest version of yourself by following the program I’ve designed just for you. You will reap the fruits of amazing health, vibrant energy, and happiness, all while looking to the future with HOPE! Eye contact is the surest way to connect, and a smile speaks louder than words! Many blessings to you and yours, Dr. Halanna B. Matthew |
