Tips for creating the best work space

Work from home: Tips for creating the best work space

Your home is a source of security and comfort. If work is stressful and you are working from home it can feel that you can’t get away from it.

These tools and tips will help you keep your home as your sanctuary and clear any stressful harmful energy from your working space of your home.

Lighting your space

Is your office lighting making you sick? Studies have shown that “task lighting” like what you would get from a desk lamp, provides optimal visual conditions. Try getting yourself a small desk lamp and if possible, turn off overhead lights.

Light bulbs -“warm white” CFLs can help save your eyes, and reduce the likelihood of headaches. CFL: compact fluorescent lamp.

Natural light: Let in as much natural light as possible. If you are not near a window, try hanging mirrors to reflect light, and painting the office a soft white colour to brighten spaces if possible. If those options aren’t available, take frequent five minute breaks outdoors.

Clearing your space

Keep the energy clear around your computer by burning sage regularly to clear energy of stress or other peoples stress.

Colours for concentration

Yellow- yellow helps us think clearly, increases our awareness and stimulates our curiosity. A yellow pen, mug table mat, yellow mouse mat all could help you concentrate better. Yellow flowers can help with concentration too.

EMF protecting crystals

As your computer emits EMFs- electromagnetic frequencies these can disturb your energy, concentration and brain waves. To help combat these why not try some EMF absorbing crystals around your desk and computer. These can help you feel less fatigued and sick after being on your computer for long spells. Obsidian, Indigo gabro, Hematite, Shungite are all good crystals that help absorb EMFs for our protection.

Get a salt lamp like a Himalayan salt lamp. Keep a salt lamp plugged in near to where you work. It can help eliminate EMF from computers and bring a nice atmosphere to your space.

Plants for your work space and home.

Basil is believed to clear the air of negative energy and attract positive vibrations to the environment.

Vitamin B6, emotional sensitivity and nutrition

Many Empaths and Highly Sensitive People can suffer with high levels of emotional stress from time to time, so they have to consider their nutrient levels may be low. Some sensitive people go through some excessive introversion at some point in their life, especially around times of awakening, spiritual development or major life transitions. However extreme introversion may be a sign of major imbalance or even nutrition deficiency. These stressful times can deplete the sensitive and empathetic person of nutrients that help keep the body and mind calm and healthy.

Vitamin B6, zinc and Magnesium
Vitamin B6 and zinc are often stripped from the body when under a lot of stress. Also magnesium is sequestered and wasted via the urine in times of stress. That means you need more magnesium during stressful times too. Stress can cause magnesium depletion, and a lack of magnesium magnifies stress. In the Magnesium Miracle book the author explains that when you are under stress, your body creates stress hormones, causing a cascade of physical effects, all of which consume magnesium. If the stress continues and you don’t rest or replace your magnesium between stressful episodes, your magnesium stores become depleted. See these signs of magnesium deficiency

Pyroluria Questionnaire from The Antianxiety Food Solution

A questionnaire devised by Trudy Scott author of Anti-Anxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood, and End Cravings will help you identify whether you might have pyroluria, a social anxiety condition. The physical and emotional symptoms listed in the questionnaire are caused by deficiencies of vitamin B6 and zinc. When you experience high levels of stress, vitamin B6 and zinc will be further depleted, so you may notice worsening symptoms and more anxiety. See the questionnaire here

B Vitamins

B Vitamins are water-soluble and are needed on a daily basis. Collectively, they have many roles in keeping us healthy, such as immunity, hormonal balance, circulation, energy production and stress regulation. Many B Vitamins are made in the small intestine.

Pyridoxine(B6) is required for the balancing of hormonal changes in women as well as assisting the immune system and the growth of new cells. It is also used in the processing and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while assisting with controlling your mood as well as your behaviour

Food sources of vitamin B6:
Good sources to obtain pyridoxine from are brewer’s yeast, eggs, chicken, carrots, fish, liver, kidneys, peas, wheat germ, walnuts.

Magnesium

Magnesium works alongside calcium to maintain muscle and nerve impulses and bone density. It is also essential for the functioning of many enzyme pathways, and is linked with protein synthesis and the production of some hormones.

Magnesium is a vital component of chlorophyll and is present in all green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Zinc

This trace mineral plays a part in nearly every major disease, including diabetes and cancer. Its main role is concerned with the protection and repair of DNA, however, it is also required to make insulin, the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, and to boost the immune system. Oysters are the highest dietary source of zinc, and it is found in higher levels in animals and fish than in plants.

EMF & Harmful Radiation

EMFs are electromagnetic frequencies and include exposures to power cables, radio transmitters, Wi-Fi and x rays. In today’s society it is almost impossible to avoid potentially harmful Electromagnetic Fields within in our homes and work life. The chaotic waves of electromagnetic (EM) radiation pass through the body and interfere with cellular communication, brain activity, and nervous system function, making the body weaker, less able to balance, and more quickly fatigued. All is not lost because there are many ways to help you reduce exposure and diminish the effects of these frequencies. Below are some tips to help reduce exposure to EMFs as well as tools to block and diminish the effects of EMFs.

Tips to cut down on EMF exposure:

Avoid keeping ANY electrical items in your bedroom area, especially as the sleeping area where you spend up to 8 hours at a time is one of the most important places to keep clean. For example, radio clocks emit electric and magnetic fields. If you are particularly electro-sensitive, switch everything off at the fuse box for your bedroom.

Avoid metal bed bases and metal spring mattresses; they can magnetize ambient EMFs and can easily become magnetized.

Ensure, when sleeping, your head is not near large amounts of wiring or fuse boxes inside the wall your bed is against or on the other side of the wall.

Consider buying an EMF tester if you are serious about checking for EMFs inside and outside your home.

Cordless phones have been found to be as dangerous as cell phones. Get rid of your cordless phones, switch to phones with cords; especially, ensure you are not keeping a cordless phone base in your bedroom at night.

Switch to wired broadband, or at least switch off your Wi-Fi at night (you can use timers that Christmas lights work from to do this automatically).
Check if you are within 500 meters of power lines and ideally avoid living near them. Generally, living within 500 meters is considered undesirable.
Smart meters measure electricity, gas, and water usage and send the information wirelessly, direct to the utility company. If you have a wireless “smart” meter, call your utility company and request a safe analog meter.
Be aware, house alarm systems, some music systems, games consoles, and baby monitors also use Wi-Fi – switch back to wired versions.
If you have dealt with all the internal sources of EMFs, but are concerned about your neighbour’s Wi-Fi, cell phone towers, or power lines, consider using EMF shielding wall paint, which contains EMF-absorbing carbon molecules. You can also buy window nets, which contain silver-plated copper to block EMFs.
You can also shield yourself further at night by buying a sleep canopy to hang over your bed; this is special netting made with the silver-plated copper to block EMFs.
Clothing that shields radiation is also available, with silver woven into the cotton. This may be of particular interest for pregnant women
Hairdryers emit high levels of electrical fields – avoid use at night and preferably use the wall-mounted versions.

Note: alongside cordless phone decks, cell phone and computer chargers are some of the highest EMFs emitting devices in our homes; keep 3-5 meters away from them when possible.

Tools to help combat EMFs:
Crystals/ Minerals:

In today’s society it is impossible to avoid
potentially harmful Electromagnetic Fields. Shungite can be used to block or diminish EMFs. Pendants, mobile phone stickers, pyramids and other shapes are commonly used for this purpose. See more Shungite products for blocking EMF

Cacti plants really do absorb electromagnetic radiation, and it is a good idea to keep them around your computer. NASA concluded that the best ones were Cereus cacti – preferably with 5 heads. They are thought to have evolved self-protective mechanisms to defend themselves from the harsh radiation of the desert.

Himalayan salt lamps emit negative ions and help balance the air in rooms with computers – keep them near your computer.

Blue light exposure has been shown to impact your body’s circadian rhythm (your body’s natural body clock) .

Natural exposure to blue light during the daylight hours boosts people’s energy, alertness and mood. However, elongated exposure to the waves transmitted through screen devices during the evening can disrupt normal sleep schedules.
Exposure to artificial sources of blue light include energy-saving lamps, LCD/LED screens in computers and cell phones.
Tips to help combat blue light exposure:
– Use dim, red lights for night lights.
– Avoid looking at bright screens beginning two to three hours before bed, or at least download the f.lux software, which will gradually turn your screen redder as the sun sets.
– Expose yourself to lots of bright light during the day, which will boost your ability to sleep at night, as well as your mood and alertness during daylight.

– If you work a night shift or use a lot of electronic devices at night, consider wearing blue-blocking glasses available online here

Grounding

Often during a healing session or card reading with a client the subject of grounding comes up. Some clients are aware what this is about as some have touched on it in their yoga practice or other energy treatments and some don’t quite know what I mean! Below I outline an introduction to what it might mean to be ungrounded and the tools to help grounded in this time and space.

What does it mean to be ungrounded?
When ungrounded you may be fuzzy-headed, forgetful, anxious, wired, excitable, and distracted. Your energy drifts like a balloon disconnected from a child’s hand, a bit lost and forlorn. We can see it as being energetically disconnected. We can detach our awareness from our body and the physical world which results in us being ungrounded.

How do I know if I am ungrounded:
You don’t remember half of your commute home or to work. You feel stressed out. You feel worried.

Why is it good to be grounded?

When you are grounded you can think clearly, you have less body aches. your emotions are stable, and you stop reacting to all of the chaos around you. We feel calm when grounded, we feel contented and safe.

Quick methods for grounding

Eating (hence sometimes weight gain) – healthy & balanced.
Drinking water
Walking, especially in natural surroundings
Sports, yoga, tai chi etc.
Gardening
Animals eg. walking the dog
Being purposeful
Visualization of roots/colour
Carrying/working with crystals

The importance of food in its role in grounding us.
Foods that have a high sugar content tend to unground us. Food that is metabolized quickly tend to make us feel ungrounded and give a quick sugar hit and spike in blood sugar levels. This can unground us and make us feel jumpy. On the other hand foods that take time to breakdown such as porridge and whole foods with a low glycemic index ( most fruits and vegetables, beans, minimally processed grains, pasta, low-fat dairy foods, and nuts ) give us a steady release of sugar are more grounding.

Root chakra and grounding

The root chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to grounding energies and empowers our life force. The root chakra is the energy centre that is at the base of our spine. The root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey. When out of balance you may feel:

Restlessness.
Insecurity.
Excessive anger and aggression.
Impatience.
Greediness.
Obsession with materialistic matters

Grounding can be an easy way to balance your root chakra. So exercise, eat well, use grounding visualizations, use crystals and oils to get back into balance and feel safe calm and at peace once more!
