Crazy Sexy Life Omega NYC Retreat with Kris Carr and Nick Ortner

Here is our final installment about the soul – stirring Omega weekend we attended in April.

Lastly, we highlight the workshop we attended with the ever -inspiring Kris Carr and Nick Ortner.

As Omega states, Kris Carr is the founder of the award-winning website Crazysexylife.com. Kris is also a motivational speaker, wellness coach, and author of the Crazy Sexy Cancer book series, including Crazy Sexy Diet. She is also the subject of the inspirational documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer, which she wrote and directed for TLC to chronicle her four-year journey healthfully living with stage-four cancer.

Nick Ortner is creator of The Tapping Solution, a documentary film about Emotional Freedom Techniques, also called EFT, which combine ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.

Together Kris and Nick led a workshop that focused on creating and sustaining a vibrant physical , emotional and spiritual life.

Here’s what I took away:

The first step to optimal health  is  awareness. We have to be aware of what goes into our body – what we eat, drink and think. Yes, what we think too!

All three have a great impact on our health and on our energy level.

Kris emphasized how we have to be our own mother and to never abandon ourselves.

She spoke about the importance of feeling safe, protected and loved in our own body.

Just as a mother has unconditional love for her child, we have to treat ourselves that way with doses of self-love and nourishment.

Perfection is not the key for it only leads to stagnation.

When we feel out of balance – always go back to the basics, with the original medicine we have around us – water, more plant -based foods (Kris is a huge advocate of juicing and smoothies) and spending time in nature.

This is always the foundation for restoring our balance.

Nick Ortner taught us how to use the Emotional Freedom Techniques to treat the physical and emotional blocks that affect our health and well being.

EFT is is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture.

EFT uses simple tapping with your fingertips on specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem – whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc.

Nick called on volunteers to come on stage while he worked with them with tapping techniques to ease their physical and emotional pain.

It was amazing to witness the instant relief that took place.

We tried it on ourselves too. And I can say it really does work. And it is so so easy to do.

I highly recommend it!
