(and their men-folk too!)

Has your life become a stormy sea?
I want to make it clear that not all HSWs end up with stress syndromes, although many do. A true shipwreck (a car accident, a divorce, losing a job, a child, a pet, etc.) will infect everyone with some degree of stress, but for others the stress is the internal shipwreck that can't be seen by everyone else, sometimes not even by ourselves.
The Captains Lady's purpose is two-fold; to help prevent stress syndromes from developing in Highly Sensitive Women who do not currently have stress syndromes and to help erase stress syndromes in those who are already suffering.
Often, HSW are tempted to listen when it is suggested that their symptoms are all in their mind, that they are depressed, or that they are making things up for attention. Have you been sent home with a clean bill of health, but left with a nagging feeling that something is really wrong? Do you no longer talk about it with others because you don't want to appear crazy?
Am I telling your personal story?
There Is a Common Denominator of All Symptoms & Diseases
The one single common denominator of all stress, symptoms and dis-ease, whether you believe it or not, is energy imbalance. Our energy is based on the vitality of an electrical current that travels through the body on a map containing 12 major energy meridians, which are associated with particular areas and organs. In addition, we have seven major chakra centers that act as vortexes, helping the energy along. Trouble begins when there are blockages or obstacles along the path, such as trauma, poor diet, sleep or relationships, chemicals, EMFs, drugs, surgeries, etc. These things create disturbances in our electrical system. The result is distress, leading to low energy, fatigue, aches and pains, illness and, finally, disease. Since each of us are unique in our strengths and weaknesses, our symptoms differ individually.
There are ways to correct these imbalances. Hence, the purpose for The Captains Lady. Most energy blockages can be freed through all-natural, alternative therapies. Practically anything that is good for us will affect the aura, our electromagnetic energy field, in a positive way and bring about healing.
Before You Read On...A Word of Wisdom
At some point in your search for energy wellness, you may reach a point of realizing that the more you learn, the less you feel you know. This can be very disheartening and may cause you to feel like giving up, as there is no way you will ever know everything there is to know about everything.
Don't ever give up. Don't worry about what you don't know as of yet. The mind and spirit have a way of guiding you to what is relevant to you. Trust your inner guide, your subconcious wisdoms, and don't worry that you may miss the next greatest, best thing that might cure you. Usually, what you miss, you don't need. And, if you are reading these words, you are headed in the right direction.
Worthwhile Definitions
Symptom (simp'-tem) - any circumstance or condition that indicates the existence as of a particular disease.
Syndrome (sin'-drom) - a set of symptoms characterizing a disease or condition.
Disease (di zeez') 1. illness in general. 2. a particular destructive process in an organism.
Illness vs. Symptoms
Not all symptoms lead to illness, even though all illness eventually leads to symptoms. When a symptom, or group of symptoms, have no apparent cause, they are called a 'syndrome', meaning there is no cause, medically speaking. It is considered idiopathic, meaning it arose from an unknown cause. For most of us, that term just makes us feel like our doctors are saying we have idiot's dis-ease. Of course there is a cause!
Syndromes often overlap, with a wide variety of symptoms. Tinnitus, for example, has over 35 possible causes, many of which are related to other dis-eases. So, what I have done on The Captains Lady is to list several of the most common Stress Syndromes that Highly Sensitive Women experience, highlight their most common symptoms, give you natural treatment ideas, and tell you to never give up healing yourself naturally!
The Top 10 Stress Syndromes!
Fatigue 65%, Hormone Fluctuations 62%, Allergy 41%, Depression/Insomnia 32%, Weight/Appetite 21%, Cholesterol 19%, Headache/Migraines 17%, Blood Pressure 14% and Fibromyalgia 14%. A few of these are associated with Chronic Pain, another syndrome not treated well by medical doctors.
* Percentages are based on reported expereinces of individuals in the United States.)
Common Causes of Stress Syndromes
Not enough quality sleep.
Cumulative or Ongoing Stress, especially relationship stress.
Toxicities (acid forming substances from air, water, foods and products)
Poor Nutrition (or problems with absorbing nutrients)
Lack of Exercise
Exposure to Violence, Sexual Abuse (as a victim) or Trauma, either physically or emotionally. Traumatic memories often cause cumulative underlying stress.
Exposure to EMFs (electromagnetic energy fields). I help you to eliminate high EMF overwhelm in my e-book, 'Healthy Spaces'.
The 'Grandfather' of Syndromes & Dis-eases
Energy imbalance. For more information on energy imbalance, please visit my 'Claiming Radiance!' web page.
The 'Grandmother' of Syndromes & Dis-eases
With energy imbalance being, as I see it, the number one cause of distress and disease, pH Imbalance comes in second as a condition specifically related to Western civilization. If pH imbalance is the cause of your dis-ease, you can reverse it through your diet. Where as energy imbalance can cause pH imbalance, pH imbalance, in turn, causes every conceivable stress syndrome known and is related to Stress increases body acid levels. As acid levels increase, so do stressful symptoms, weight gain, and auto-immune disorders.

When You Feel Sick, But Have Been Diagnosed As Not...
...it is important for you to realize our auras, our energy fields, and our bodies, are either constantly drained by our experiences or enlivened. This is especially true for Highly Sensitive Women.
The Captains lady helps you to rejuvenate your aura, as it is the basis for your vitality and health, or your dis-ease. The colors of our aura and conditions of our bodies change according to emotional, physical, mental and spiritual circumstances, as well as associations and environment.
By taking 'The Revised Aura Energy Self-Test' you can discover your particular energy imbalances and find simple and immediate methods to increase your energy wellness!
Give Natural Remedies a Chance to Work
You will want to give each natural remedy a 'reasonable' amount of time to work before moving on to the next. The amount of time varies according to the treatment applied. And, remedies only work if you are cooperating with your body, mind and spirit to become as healthy as possible. Even natural remedies can become nothing more than bandaids if you are not working on the larger issues, such as diet, stress, relationship problems, and your environment. You don't have to make major changes all at once. You can paddle your boat to shore at your own speed.
May Love & Energy Be Yours!
