REWIRE YOUR BRAIN TO GENERATE JOY

February 20, 2025

Where is our joy located? It’s an odd question. Perhaps you think joy is in your heart, or maybe you experience joy as a state of mind.


It turns out, according to scientists, joy originates in the limbic system of the brain—the part of the brain that controls emotion, behavior, and long-term memory. Unlike happiness, which is a cognitive experience based in the brain’s neocortex, joy is an emotion we feel without conscious thought. We feel joy without thinking about it, and we can train our brains to feel it often.


EMOTIONS ARE HABITUAL


Just like any repetitive action, our emotional state becomes a habit. For most of my life, my emotional habit was some version of fear. From the time I was a small child, I was a perpetual worrier. I have a vivid memory of being 4 years old in a restaurant with my mom and her then-boyfriend, who happened to be a professional clown. The clown was entertain-ing, the meal was my favorite, but I couldn’t stop worrying about everything.


“Just relax, Kaia!” my mom implored me. “I’m trying as hard as I can!” I wailed. This is the story of my life. Although my outside often looked like the Garden of Eden, my inside often felt like Armageddon.


YOUR BRAIN ON FEAR


Our amygdala, the fear center in our brains, responds to perceived stress with the primal reactions of fight, flight, and freeze. When the amygdala is active, to be sure we have all the brain power we need to carry out this instinctual response, it limits activity in the prefrontal cortex, which happens to be where logical thought, clear decisions, and rational choices are generated. We simply can’t do our best thinking and best problem solving when we’re in a state of fear.


Fear also turns on the sympathetic nervous system—the body’s project manager for the fight-or-flight response—which releases hormones, such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol, to pump us up for battle. The sympathetic nervous system accelerates our heart rate, increases blood pressure, slows digestion, constricts blood vessels, dilates the pupils, and can cause tunnel vision, shaking, and a number of other physical symptoms.


Our bodies are incredible mechanisms with systems like this in place to help us stay safe, which is wonderful when we’re in danger. But here’s the catch: We can’t sustain high levels of fear for too long before our adrenal glands become depleted, our cells deteriorate from an

overabundance of cortisol, and we become exhausted and sick.


THE JOY PLAN


I finally hit rock bottom shortly before my 40th birthday. I’d been making plans since I could talk, but I found myself examining what the

point of all my planning really was. Ultimately, I simply wanted joy and, despite appearances, I rarely felt it. I knew I needed to break free from the grip of fear which had held me most of my life. So I made my ultimate plan: The Joy Plan, dedicating 30 days to the singular task of rewiring my brain to generate joy—in the hope that one month would change my entire life.


Although I’d read books and blogs for years that told me to “relax,” “think positive,” “stay calm,” “don’t worry, be happy,” I still had no idea

how to actually do that. So when I took the Joy Plan on as a full-fl edged science experiment, I became determined to utilize the neurobiology behind the experience of joy to my advantage.


What I found, to my delight, was that 30 days is long enough to form new habits, and the most important new habits boiled down to five easy daily actions. You don’t even need to set aside a whole month to give them a try.


Like healthy eating, joy is a habit we must practice regularly in order to reap the bene-fits. By intentionally practicing thinking new thoughts, speaking new words, and taking new actions, I changed my experience of life. I am not happy all the time, but that’s not the point. I’ve finally figured out how to live in joy.


Five Daily Actions to Boost Your Joy


1. FOCUS ON GRATITUDE: The fastest way to generate joy is to focus on things you appreciate. Every day, make a list, even if it’s

in your head, of things for which you’re grateful. Feelings of gratitude release dopamine, a feel-good neurotransmitter in the

brain. When you bathe your brain in this chemical experience, you’ll predispose yourself for more.


2. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS:  Mindfulness is simply the act of bringing your awareness to the present moment. Deep breaths calm

the brain’s amygdala and train your brain and body to remain calm in the midst of swirling thoughts and emotions. With even a short

daily practice, mindfulness can alter your brain in profound ways.


3. BOOST HAPPY HORMONES:  Four main neurochemicals generated in the brain are highly influential to the sensations we’ve come to associate with joy: endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. The good news is these neurochemicals are easy to influence through daily actions, such as exercise, spending time outdoors, smiling more often, and giving hugs.


4. CHOOSE OPTIMISM:  Thanks to the process of neuroplasticity, our brains develop neural pathways like well-worn highways they

travel on regularly because they’re familiar. By choosing positive thoughts, words and actions at every opportunity—focusing on

solutions rather than problems—you’re training your brain to form neural pathways for optimism, which is associated with greater joy.


5. GIVE TO OTHERS: Giving is an excellent way to generate joy. Acts of kindness release dopamine, for both the giver and the receiver. You can receive these feel-good benefits from giving something as small as a smile or a compliment, or as large as you can imagine.

The Most Overlooked Detoxification Network by David DeHaas

By Durga Jaiswal • June 12, 2025
The Lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. Imagine the tissues of your body oozing these toxins, someone has the job of absorbing the debris and moving it out. The Lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (vessels) that drain Lymph fluid from all over the body. There are 600 to 700 Lymph nodes in the human body, containing 45 pints of Lymph fluid. To put that into perspective, your blood system contains about 10 12 pints and contains a great pump the heart. The Lymphatic system has no such pump. Think of these little nodes as tiny toilets. The only way the tiny nodes flush is when you are moving. Using a Vibration System or jumping on a trampoline is a great way to get the "toilets" to flush. The primary function of the Lymphatic system is to transport Lymph, a fluid containing infection fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. The Lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions: It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid (old gunk) from tissues. You may have a lymphatic blockage if you have any of the following symptoms: Swelling in hands, feet, & ankles (not limited to those areas) Water retention Muscle & joint stiffness (especially when you first wake up) Fibromyalgia Itchy skin Sore throat Fatigue Cellulite Glandular fever Hodgkin's disease Oedema/Edema Tonsillitis Swollen Lymph Nodes can feel like you have a knot or bulge where the Lymph Node has gotten stagnant. If this old sludge is not move out it can become cancerous. This Lymph eventually makes its way to the Superior Vena Cava vein - essentially, the heart. Once in the blood system, the liver will do its best to clean up those toxins. In this manner, the liver can be overrun with so much toxic matter that it becomes "fatty". To keep the Lymphatic system clean do the following: Drink more water. Move. Contraction of the muscles helps move Lymph, use a vibration machine to move lymph fluid. Get a Lymph massage. Do a Liver cleanse. Get a Colonic to cleanse the colon. If the Colon is dirty the lymph will be toxic as well. The average person packs 12 - 15 lbs of old fecal matter. The lymphatic system will be absorbing some of the debris oozing out of the colon. Without colon cleansing you will continue to circulate toxic matter until one day a node gets trapped with serious sludge that may become cancerous. It's so much easier to be proactive than reactive. Maintaining a healthy eco system with Regular Cleansing is the key to a healthier life.

Reversing Inflammation

May 28, 2025
Every dis-ease is essentially an inflammation issue. Toxins Create Inflammation. Getting rid of toxins is job one. Your problem is you have been pooping in your pelvis. Picture a screen and on top of that screen is poop. Its been sitting rotting for several years and it squishes through that screen into the tissues of your body. Your colon is the screen. In the tissues of your colon and intestinal tract is millions of capillaries of your blood system. It gets deluged with that old poop and now it’s in your blood. Your blood is now toxic; however it will try and jettison this toxic matter, via dripping fluid into the tissues of your body where the lymphatic system will pick up the garbage. Your lymphatic system has 800 lymph nodes and can hold about 45 pints of fluid. The lymphatic system has no pump. God created us to walk, run and jump creating a virtual pump to move that toxic fluid up to the vein just above the heart. Once that fluid reaches that destination it will be routed to the liver. The liver has 50,000 bile ducts which might be enough storage for toxins if you didn’t have to deal with 80,000 chemicals that float around this planet today. Once the liver runs out of room it has to put this garbage someplace else. It could kick it out in the bile and it would pass through 30’ + of intestinal tract in a perfect system. Your system is not perfect because you have constipation and a twisted distorted intestinal tract. This slows down the ability for the body to jettison these toxins into the toilet. Because of this the toxins will eventually recirculate back though the blood system and the lymphatic system. with a constipated bowel system you are just recirculating rotting garbage every day. The best solution to stop this merry go round effect is to use Colon hydrotherapy to open the detoxification pathway to clean out the colon. While you are cleaning up the colon it is smart to move the lymphatic system sludge and cleanse the liver at the same time. Cleansing the liver is how you clean up the blood and jettison those toxins dumped into it by the lymphatic system Now that you have cleared out the colon with Colon Hydrotherapy, the liver and lymphatic system can drop that toxic load out of the body via the intestinal tract. Along with Colon Hydrotherapy we like to us a vibration machine to vibrate and “pump” the lymph up to the liver. See www.HealthVibrate.com You will feel lighter and refreshed. Joints will not ache; skin issues may disappear and cysts polyps and tumors and hemorrhoids may have a chance to shrink. With the toxins gone, inflammation will become a thing of the past you will be able to think clearer and live your best life. To do deep house cleaning of the gut, It takes 10 colonic sessions.

Could Parasites be at the root cause of your symptoms?

May 28, 2025
Can this one PEST be the source of your problems? Millions of Americans are infected and don’t know it. Can a parasite be living in you? Living Off YOU? Attacking you without your consent? Could this be the cause of Inflammation, Fatigue, gas/bloating, Diarrhea, Skin rashes, psoriasis, itchy rectum, grinding teeth, headaches, brain fog, arthritis, cysts, tumors, lyme, and even cancer? Experts believe most of the population is infected in some manner. Some with more severe infections than others. This problem in not limited to people who travel to foreign countries. According to Gastrenologist Dr. Robyn Chutkan, MD millions of people suffer from parasites. Parasites can linger undetected in the intestinal tract for year. One study of people with Chronic Fatigue found that over 46% of the people were infected with parasites. How you get infected? Have you every ate sushi or pork, walked barefoot, been in contact with a pet, failed to wash your hands adequately, ate raw food like an apple or strawberry, had unprotected sex with an infected person, drank unfiltered water, kissed someone who was infected, picked up a salt shaker at a restaurant that was last touched by someone who was infected, or used antibiotics? These are just a few of the many ways we get infected. There are parasites you can see like tape wor ms, larvae, hook worms, rope worms, and liver flukes that bury themselves in your intestines, and liver. There are also 100’s of other parasites you don’t see that live in your skin, blood and organs of your body. Parasites are beings and as such poop and pee within you and give off energy that may not be serving your higher purpose. It’s one of the main reasons why the Hospital emergency rooms, police, and firefighters are so busy during the full moon. This is the time that Parasites are giving birth depositing millions of eggs in you. In our 11 Years of helping people heal from their symptoms we have never not seen someone without parasites. Things you can do to help eliminate parasites. Deworm your pets regularly. Regularly wash everything, your hands, clothes, bedding and fresh vegetables. Freeze your meats including fish. When drying your hands in the bathroom don’t use a previously used towel to dry your hands. It can be loaded with parasites. Eat two gloves of garlic a day. It’s a natural anti microbial, anti fungal, anti parasitic, Take a herbal formula with Wormwood, Cloves, and Black walnut green hull. Take a digestive enzyme to increase stomach acids. Eat a mixture of papaya seeds with honey. Pumpkin seeds are good too. Drink a tablespoon of bentonite clay twice per day. Use a wearable parasite Zapper that emits a frequency the bugs don’t like. Use a Pulse Frequency machine like the Ondamed which has been programmed with hundreds of parasite specific frequencies. Do several colonic sessions. The warm water will help evacuate these unwanted pests. David DeHaas is a Colon Hydrotherapist and Naturopathic Health coach @ Living Waters Wellness Center. www.livingwaterscleanse.com

You Will Never Find Heaven on Earth with a Toxic Body

May 6, 2025
A client arrived the other day suffering from the usual, Brain Fog, Joint pain, Frequent urination at night, cravings of carbohydrates, chronic fatigue, and on and on. As we went thru the list of symptoms she then made a statement. “I am actually pretty healthy for my age”!!!!! What??? You have a myriad of symptoms that prevent you from being able to think clearly, sleep well, go hiking, play with your kids and you say you are pretty healthy for your age????

That is the wrong barometer to gauge your well being. Do you want to be able to go on hikes? Ski the big mountain, Mountain bike, ride dirt bikes, play basketball with the kids? Grandkids??? Think clearly? Feel Awesome????? I look at the past greats like Jack Lalane and I call him normal. In the 1960’s Dr. Bernard Jensen was invited to the Hunza Valley in Pakistan. A remote community that was very hard to get too. The Hunza’s grew all their own food. No fast food, no cola’s, no sugar. Many people were still working on their farms at 120 years of age with all their teeth and faculties. For 9 months of the year they were completely cut off from civilization because of the extreme amount of snow they received each year. In the 1970s the government put a nice large road into the valley. With it came processed foods, oils, sugar, etc. Not soon after the road was installed, all of the usual problems began appearing in their society, Dental cavities, joint pain, brain fog, cancer etc. The United States with its “State of the Art Medicine” is one of the sickest countries on earth. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can chose your NORMAL and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE, AND Find YOUR HEAVEN ON EARTH right now.

Hip Pain, Back Pain, Sciatica Pain

May 6, 2025
The average person packs an extra 12-15 Lbs of old rotting fecal matter in their colon. This is bad for many reasons. That rotting mess has to go somewhere and if its not straight out then it will saturate the tissues of the colon wall. As more poop build up occurs in the colon, less blood flows to the hip. When the poop is not exiting on a regular basis your body just keeps pushing it into the tissue. This causes the blood to get turbid and dirty and the Lymphatic is now laden with this toxic material. You get calcification and crystallization and scar tissue in the sciatica. You think you have a Low back or hip problem. At the root of it you have a pooping problem. If you were to look inside the colon you would see a big pooched out area holding a mass of fecal matter. Your chiropractor with adjust your sciatica. But the sciatica is not the problem. The sciatica is out of joint because of the putrefaction of the colon. Leaked infection into the bloodstream into the tissues, creating infection, inflammation. Its like putting a burger on a barbecue. You dehydrate it and it became beef jerky and it shrinks. So the tendon and the muscle shrinks shorter and gets thinner. Now your body is out of alignment. When you continue to “poop in your pelvis”, You have so much inflammation you pull calcium from the bones, from your spine and from your hips to try to buffer down the infections that created the h inflammation so you don’t have a mutation. Calcium is trying to bring up the pH so that you don’t get cancer. Which hip usually goes bad first??? The right hip. The small intestine drops digested food into the right side of the large colon. Now the digested matter has to go against gravity up the right side and then across the transfer colon. Its not unusual of for this area of the colon to get as big as 16” in diameter. It takes at least 10-12 sessions of colonics to get all the way around the colon. Joyce, a client, had sore back and had a hard time walking and could not squeeze her hands together. Her hands were crippled with arthritis. After the 10 day healing retreat, where she did 10 straight colonics she could squeeze her hands and bend over without pain. She was able to get back into gardening and painting, hobbies she had not done in years. What hobbies are you missing out on? You deserve to live your best life while you are on earth.

Are You Having The Right Stool?

April 22, 2025
Are you having the right Stool? The one organ that can really makes your life miserable is your intestinal tract. How well you poop is directly correlated to how well you live. Many of the symptoms you may be having are reflective of whether you have proper bowel movements. Thanks to stress you may not be having proper bowel movements. The straight scoop on the perfect poop? You want to have a #3 every time you go. Frequency should be 2-3 bowel movements a day. If you eat you should poop. If you are going every other day, every 3 days or once a week or worse you probably already experiencing, such things as brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, digestive problems or many others including getting colon Cancer. Over the last 10 years of listening to peoples symptoms and correlating the type of bowel movements they are having it has become crystal clear that when the client improves their bowel movements their symptoms improve or disappear. To get to the perfect poop you will need to do colon Hydrotherapy in 99.9% of all cases. Dissolving old fecal matter and retaining the bowel muscle is imperative to healing the body. Colon Hydrotherapy is the easiest way to super hydrate the bowels. Colon Hydrotherapy is the application of lying on a specially designed Colon Hydrotherapy bed and inserting a small rectal tube about the size of a pencil in your rectum about an inch. You are completely covered up the entire time so your dignity is maintained. Water is turned on and water triples into your bowels. This provides two important function. One is to hydrate and dissolve old fecal matter. The other is to tone the muscle so that it will relearn Peristalsis. Peristalsis is the action by which the Colon moves fecal matter around the colon and out. Due to stress your colon can become twisted and the muscle can stretch from 3 inches in diameter to as large as 16 inches. This stretching was caused by your bowels failure to evacuate. But you can’t blame the bowels. Your stress and emotions created this. So if you want the perfect poop, get to the gym, the colon hydrotherapy gym and lets strengthen the colon.

Baby Boomers Now Fear Memory Loss More Than Cancer

April 17, 2025
Baby boomers now fear memory loss more than cancer, and indeed they should. Decades of contact with heavy metals and the hundreds of thousands of people who have had mercury fillings is a cause for great concern. Cancer you can heal from, memory loss I am not so sure. It’s sad to see a loved one slowly lose their memory. The cost of dealing with the future loss of memory is going to run into the hundreds of Billions of dollars. For our family we spent nearly $140,000 taking care of grandmother before she passed. That was cheap. Grandmother went fast. This didn’t include the near miss catastrophe of the shysters who called her and asked for her for banking information so she could pay a past due bill. Grandmother not remembering that she never contracted for such service was ready to hand over her banking information before the housekeeper overheard the conversation and quickly hung up the phone for grandmother. This doesn’t have to be you. There are some very basic things you can do to help avoid memory loss. If you have mercury fillings get them removed as soon as possible. The University of Calgary has a video that shows what mercury vapors do to brain neurons. http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/ Unfortunately mercury is in many products. It’s in the air from the cement plant located near Baker Oregon. It is in Fish. Your body stores it. Mercury is the only heavy metals that degenerate’s brain neurons. We have multiple exposures daily to heavy metals. Just look outside at our air. I believe that doing the following steps can help to possibly prevent memory loss. Complete a heavy Metals cleanse. Take Chlorella and Metal Free. Both help the body to eliminate heavy metals. Do a series of Colonics to help flush the toxins out. Keep electromagnetic Fields, to a minimum. Use a headset or speaker phone for your cell phone. Do not sleep with an electric blanket. Stay away from microwaves. Do: Eat plenty of foods high in antioxidants. Do drink water first thing in the morning. Think of water as brain food. Drinking coffee first thing is not helping you. Drink water first. Take Bioginko. There are different formulas on the market we love the one with a ratio of 27% ginkgo flavones glycosides to 7% terpene lactones. Trust me this ratio works even if you can’t pronounce it. Anger and Fear/worry contribute to memory loss. Replace with Love. Look into the mirror each day and tell yourself that you love yourself. Use it or lose it. Watching Television contributes to memory loss. Play cards, chess, read, do cross word puzzles in other word exercise the brain. Till next time have a blessed memory filled day!
