DOGGIE JERKY 

February 16, 2025 By Liz Pilotto

Preheat oven 200 degrees (my stove has dehydrator option I put it at 200 degrees) OR use a dehydrator 

INGREDIENTS

1# organic ground meat (93-96% lean)

1 stalk organic celery 

1 tablespoon Simply Organic parsley

1 tablespoon organic nutritional yeast 

THE PROCESS

*Put the meat in a strainer and let the liquid drain. 

*In a food processor process the celery stalk, very fine.

*On a piece of parchment paper put the meat, celery, nutritional yeast, and parsley together. Work it all together with your hands. 

*With another piece of parchment paper on top press it down into a very thin rectangle. 

*Use a pizza cutter or knife and make strips. 

*Carefully separate the jerky so they are not touching.

*This will allow the jerky to dry out evenly.

*Put the parchment paper on an oven proof grate and into the middle of the oven. 

*Allow the meat to dehydrate until completely dry. It can take 3-6 hours depending on the thickness of the meat. 

*Store the jerky in a bag in the refrigerator. If you make more jerky for more than for a week freeze the surplus.

ENERGY AND FREQUENCY

February 3, 2025 By Liz Pilotto

Everything in nature is vibrating. Frequencies are measured in MHz. When we have inflammation, irritation or illness our frequency is below the normal 62-68MHz. 

When our frequency is between 62-68MHz we will be in a “state of health”. 

We can help raise our frequency with the help of essential oils. Most essential oils resonate at a higher frequency than 62-68MHz. 

Rose – 320MHz

Helichrysum – 181MHz

Frankincense – 147MHz

Ravensara – 134MHz

Lavender – 118MHz

Blue Tansy – 105MHz

Myrrh – 105MHz

Blue Chamomile – 105MHz

Melissa – 102MHz

Juniper – 98MHz

Aloes/Sandalwood – 96MHz

Angelica – 85MHz

Peppermint – 78MHz

Galbanum – 56MHz

Basil – 52MHz

*One can increase the frequency of an essential oil by adding an intention or prayer. 

Hold the bottle of oil in your hand. Open it, give it a smell. Say your intention for yourself or for the person you will be giving the essential oil to. Place a few drops in the palm of the hand. Make a circle in the oil with your index finger, 3 times clockwise to release the energy in the essential oil. Rub your palms together, cupping your hands, inhale deeply. (Not too close to the eyes). 

If doing it with a partner allow them to take a deep breath and inhale.  You can continue on with brushing through the  energy field with the essential oil that you have in your palms of your hands. Start in the front of the body and rotating to the right side, back of the body, through the left side of the body and back to the front, swooping from the top of the head to the feet. This will help clear the persons energy field.

DRY BODY BRUSHING

February 3, 2025 By Liz Pilotto

Since the skin is the largest organ in the body it is important to help it with its daily detoxification. A quick 5 minutes of body brushing can do more than just detox the skin.

Why take that 5 minutes to body brush before showering?

Increase the circulation to the skin, possibly reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Produces antibacterial substances to protect against infection and enables your body to produce more Vitamin D when exposed to the sun.

Sheds dead skin cells to help efficiently eliminate wastes from your body.

Improves vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Massaging lymph nodes helps shed excess water and toxins.

Stimulates nerve endings in the skin.

Helps muscle tone.

Helps for a more sound sleep.

Get started:

You will need a high quality brush made from natural materials.

Do it on dry skin before bathing.

Use light but firm circular, upward motions.

Begin at the ankles moving upward to the heart because that is the natural flow of the lymph. Always brush up and in the same direction.

Pay attention to all the body parts, ankles, lower legs, thighs, stomach, chest, back, and arms. Always being careful over tender, sensitive body parts. Body brushing should not hurt. Do not body brush it you have sores, a rash, sun burn, etc. 

Body Brushing 3 times a week is most beneficial.

Shower after body brushing.

Make your own body oil blend with your favorite essential oils. Apply your body oil from the ankles upward toward the heart keeping that lymph flow going.

My favorite essential oil body blend:

15 drops @ Lavender, Frankincense, Orange

10 drops @ Patchouly, Geranium and Neroli

2 oz. Organic Argan oil

2 oz. Organic Almond oil

Mix together in a dark glass spray bottle.
