Top Tips for Getting Connected Naturally

If you're feeling disconnected and you've lost your sparkle, here's how to get reconnected and back in the flow:

• Take the following "connectors." Start with kava, the heart and social opener, at a dose of 60-75 mg of kavalactones in a standardized extract. Always take a B-complex supplement providing 50 mg of each of the vitamins B₃, B₅, B₆, and B₁₂, and 400 mcg of folic acid (in addition to the amount in your multivitamin). Add 200 mg of SAMe (taken separately), then 50 mg of 5-HTP. Your "connector nutrient" formula can include 50 mg of 5-HTP, 200 mg of SAMe or 600 mg of TMG, 60-75 mg of kava, and 100 mg of sceletium.
• Listen to heart- and soul-inspiring music
• Do a vital energy exercise – yoga, t'ai chi, Psychocalisthenics, or any form of movement or dance.
• Meditate or listen to biofeedback tapes.
• Have someone give you a massage, or give yourself one.
• Take a bath with essential oil of lavender dispersed in the water, or scent your room with it.
• Light your room with candles or violet, magenta, or blue light.
