Old World Energy Wellness...

'Soul-full' Therapies for Highly Sensitive Women
(and their men-folk too!)

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). ‘Lamia’.
"Have you been feeling abandoned and left shipwrecked by 'life'?
Well, all of that is about to change!"
The Captains Lady provides information to highly sensitive women (and their men folk too!) who are dealing with lack of energy, stress syndromes or related disorders (Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Headaches, Irritable Bowel, Tinnitus, etc.), obesity, menopause, anxiety or relationship complexities in order to help you to co-create a plan to increase your energy, or aura, through fun, simple, natural and 'old world' methods!
What, exactly, does it mean to be a Highly Sensitive Person?
It means being extra-ordinary, gifted, artistic and creative! For years, highly sensitive people have been regarded as somehow not normal or complete individuals, as if there is something internally wrong. Scientists now know that this is not true. Recent studies show that being highly sensitive only affects 15-20% of the worlds population, and is usually inherited. Being highly sensitive may also occur after a near death experience.
Being highly sensitive comes with the responsibility of sharing our purpose (what we know) with the world. It also comes with a price, which is poor health when we either can't find our true path in life or refuse to use our gifts in a positive way. There is nothing wrong with being a Highly Sensitive Person. I'll say it again.
There is nothing wrong with being a Highly Sensitive Person.
There is only something wrong with resisting who you are and with a society that would ask you to do so. Resistance causes stress and stress causes symptoms and syndromes. Are you suffering from being highly sensitive?
If you are you suffering from...
relationship anxiety
headaches or migraines,
constipation and/or diarrhea,
indigestion or acid reflux,
noise or ringing in your ears,
problems with getting a good nights sleep,
sore muscles or 'arthritis like' aches and pains,
trouble losing weight or keeping pounds off
anxiety, panic attacks or depression,
lack of energy or concentration
yeast infections or vaginitis,
sinus trouble or allergies,
dry skin, eyes, mouth
menopause symptoms
fuzzy thinking
or fear?
...you have just discovered a treasure of information!

The Captains Lady provides the tools for increasing
Personal, Physical & Environmental Wellness!
Here, you will find the most current information on...
...how to balance the energy of your aura,
how to lose and/or maintain your weight naturally,
how to know if you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP),
how to eliminate stress related syndromes and symptoms,
how to manage different types of stress and negativity
in order to become healthy and energetic!
The Captains Lady...
...specializes in providing holistic 'Soul-full' Therapies through...
The 'Natural Weigh' Plan
Part I: "Eating, Naturally!" - Nutrition & Weight Management
Part II: Stress Syndrome Management
This two-part system helps you to maintain a healthy weight, naturally, for the rest of your life and keep stress syndromes at bay! No one wants to be dis-eased! The Natural Weigh teaches which foods are best for you, how to lose and/or maintain your weight naturally, and how to manage stress syndromes in order to achieve inner spiritual, emotional and physical health and divine radiance!
These tips are safe, and intended, for individuals with IBS, CFS, Anxiety, Depression, RLS, BMS, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Tinnitus/Meniere's and other Stress Syndromes.

In The Natural Weigh Part I., "Eating, Naturally!", 'The Natural Weigh' Plan which includes the five basic food groups) and The 'All Natural Weigh' Plan (a high alkaline diet using mostly whole foods) teach you better food choices that promote energy wellness, even if you have no weight to lose, that may help you to rid yourself of dis-ease or, at least, manage your anxiety, pain and distress. Dietary calculations are available to help you to design your very own personal weight management plan if you so desire. There's even a 1200 Calorie Sample Menu Plan for you to view!
In The Natural Weigh: Part II., 'Stress Syndrome Management' you'll find holistic information on what you can do, naturally, if you are experiencing stress syndromes and how to make realistic and healthy lifestyle changes that are simple to begin! 'Stress Syndrome Management' delves deeper into taking a look at particular Stress Syndromes, their symptoms, and reveals the most current alternative remedies for each one. In fact, '5 Levels of Healing' are taken into consideration.
'The Importance of pH Balance!'
The typical American diet is high in acidic foods, which creates pH imbalance and leads to emotional and physical disease. When you are pH imbalanced, you will eventually become diseased. When you are pH balanced (more alkaline than acid), your body cannot become dis-eased! It cannot! It is impossible! And, if you restore the balance, most 'conditions' will heal themselves!
This is not some new, weird gimmick, diet or idea. PH balance was a common test in days gone by. It was one way of telling who might be diseased, who might become diseased, and who wouldn't. I have come to realize it just may be the root of all stress syndromes, anxiety and disease! Now, learn how to test your body's pH level, discover what it means to you, and find valuable, life-saving information on how to balance your pH! With The Natural Weigh at your disposal and The List of Acidic vs. Alkaline Foods, within days you can radically change how you feel, and how you look!
Relaxing 'Exercise for HSPs' !
Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Arthritis, Irritable Bowel and other Stress Syndromes can cause muscle wasting and fatigue. We all need exercise, but for the Highly Sensitive Woman exercise can bring on more pain and fatigue. Now, The Captains Lady offers exercises that can help to reduce pain and help you to relax. These exercises are also specifically related to the 7 Major Chakra Energy Centers of the body! I have tried them. They work! They help to strengthen weak muscles without tearing them down, lesson body pain and may even keep it fatigue at bay for longer periods of time by increasing your energy reserves! No equipment necessary! Just wear something comfy!
The Captains Lady offers three very special tools!
All of which are complimentary!
#1 - The Eye Opening 'Aura Energy Self-Test!'

An example of Kirlian Photography revealing the Aura and the Chakras.
To help you to determine which of your energy centers are blocked or need to be balanced, try the Aura Energy Self-Test!
Kirlian Photographs are able to show us the colors of our Auras (electro-magnetic energy field or EMF) and Chakras (energy centers in the body). They are wonderful! But, it is not always convenient to rush out the door and spend money to have our aura and chakra photos taken. Therefore, through The Captains Lady, you are able to take The Aura Energy Self-Test (self-devised), which you can take in the privacy of your own home, as often as you wish!
My self-devised Aura Energy Self-Test reveals the colors of your aura, your color personality and your aura's strengths and weaknesses! You'll discover where you may be out of balance emotionally, socially or physically. Share it with friends and family members! The Aura Energy Self-Test may also be used to help you to understand relationship compatibilities! All it takes is 7 minutes to understand what you can do to feel better, right now today! Take the 'Aura Energy Self-Test' to learn more about your true colors! Once you do, you will learn more about your 'Aura Color Personality' and about 'Aura Energy Balancing' .
#2 - Aura Balancing Color Therapy Boxes!
Visit the 'Color Therapy Boxes' for a few moments of peace that will leave you feeling instantly energized! The 'Color Therapy Boxes' are an excellent tool for aura balancing, especially after taking the 'Aura Energy Self-Test', which reveals the most bright and dim colors of your aura (energy field). Once you know your scores, you'll be aware of which colors to focus on. Of course, we are often already drawn to the colors we need. Choose from Red, Orange, Yellow, Apple Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet or Gold!
Click on any of the colors above and you'll be taken to the Color Therapy Boxes!
#3 - 'Do-It-Yourself' Holistic Energy Wellness Advice!

'Queen of Swords' from the Da Vinci Deck of Tarot.
This very special tool involves metaphysical concepts involving the use of Tarot. The cards are used in intricately designed layouts, provided, to help you to increase your intuition and understanding of how your relationships and lifestyle are either helping to increase or decrease your personal energy levels. Each card holds a clue toward finding balance and healing. 'Soul-full' Therapies are suggested for each card! The Rider-Waite Tarot is implemented. However, regular playing cards may be substituted, and you are shown how to use them! This is a free service, as is everything on The Captains Lady!
'Holistic Tarot' pages are in full color and beautifully illustrated!
Are You Surrounded By Negativity of Any Kind? Is your life suddenly more negative than it used to be? Are you unhappy in your relationships? Does incompatibility seem to rule? Does something seem to be missing? Are coworkers, or maybe the boss, driving you crazy at work? If you are currently wondering why your energy levels are in a downward spiral, you may be interested in reading 'Dealing With Negativity'. Highly Sensitive People are like magnets, picking up vibes from others, whether positive or negative. 'Dealing With Negativity' may help you to better understand why you feel the way you do, how you can recognize pitfalls that highly sensitive people can easily fall into, and lends positive suggestions on what you can do to improve personal energy and self-esteem in any situation! 'Dealing With Negativity' contains the 'Building Self-Esteem Daily Guide', '8 Steps to Being a Wealthy Woman' and 'What Is A Fool?'.
The Captains Lady also offers complimentary
'Soul-full' Therapies through...

...Creatively....'Claiming Radiance!'
...which provides the foundation toward 'Claiming Radiance!'. Since our auras (electromagnetic energies) change according to our diet, relationships, thoughts and environment, it is important to know how to increase the positive energy in and around us! Learn about your aura, what it is, what it looks like, the meanings of its colors! 'Claiming Radiance!', on my website, reveals what you can do to increase personal and environmental energies through fun and simple color therapy ideas, ranging from wardrobe colors to home decor'! Take the 'Aura Energy Self-Test' and discover your inner rainbow! 'Claiming Radiance!' contains a 'Chakra Meditation Exercise'!
Raising the Question..."Is It Hot In Here?!"
Although menopause is not a stress syndrome, there are many stress related symptoms, and syndromes, that are aggravated by, or that even begin with, the imbalance of hormones. In fact, as I was developing this site and researching the syndromes I provide information for, I began to realize that most, if not all, the syndromes discussed could be solely related to hormonal imbalance, not necessarily menopausal related. Information about menopause is provided on this website as Highly Sensitive Women are especially effected during this stage in life. The Captains Lady brings menopause into the light for HSPs so that you might know what to expect and be better prepared in understanding, coping with and even preventing symptoms of the 'change'! Be sure to read 'Is It Hot In Here?'.
Inspiring...'Creative Ritual!'
Putting your prayers to practice...

...encourages spiritual growth and creativity! You'll learn to perform personal 'Creative Ritual!' through wonderful in depth information on using colors, stones, flowers, candles, incense, even the herbs in your kitchen cupboard! You'll learn the history and folk lore of many of our current holidays, discover the best times to perform any ritual you have in mind, and how to add your own unique style to sacraments, or festivities, of currently held celebrations. You will even learn how to clear your home of negative 'vibes'! Don't worry! Only light and love here!
