Catch up.

Uncle Robert said he loved me too yesterday, 11/28/22.

So much to catch you/me up on. Been an intense month. Lots of magnetic shifts. Lots of work with Paul. Yesterday I asked if he would "own" me... I wanted to give myself to him. I want to live in proper alignment with his headship. We made beautiful love the night before and I tried to surrender to God and Paul in it... to not let fear get the best of me. Fear of orgasm from fear of that massive headache which I feel was definitely related to energy flow needing to open. I need to just keep practicing and healing and opening. I need to keep facing fear and am grateful to continue on this plane.

Rue's cancer in her leg is growing and causing her problems... so I'm trying to love her back to wholeness. I'm not ready to lose her yet. She has so much life. My sweet best friend! Much to feel into about that.

We got back from a 4-day excursion to the mountains. Thanksgiving at the Summit Lodge. Trompsing around the mountains - Carlton's Falls hike on Friday. Driving around the mountains and exploring Asheville Saturday and landing at Evangeline's for dinner and to sleep over before leaving the next morning to trek to and through Boone. Paul drove so well in the rain. I felt safe.

posted in ESF about "Zinc & Copper"

I felt to share a thought that came through this morning about remembering to balance copper with zinc. There are a bunch of really smart people in this container who know a lot about this subject which seems quite tricky to me. (i.e. Like the fact that we're not supposed to necessarily supplement with a mineral that is low because it can knock other minerals out of balance. And the fact that there are less-preferred minerals and even heavy metals hijacking spaces in binding sites (like lead takes the calcium spot).)

Back to copper-zinc:
From what I understand, copper is a more feminine mineral and zinc is more masculine which makes this topic EVEN MORE delicious to my polarity integrator heart - ha!

If copper is too dominant, we can be over-emotional, spacey, prone to anxiety and OCD, but we can also have personality characteristics like being extra caring, empathetic, child-like, and sensitive. Since copper is a feminine mineral, it is essential for women and mothers to have healthy cycles and pregnancies, and it supports the maternal bond with children (manganese also plays a role in this too).

Zinc is a more masculine mineral- it supports physical strength and vitality and is absolutely essential for male hormonal balance.

I was "diagnosed" with "copper toxicity" many years ago and have been on high alert since. At the time that I started being tested, I was stuck in sympathetic dominance/fight-or-flight and having multiple panic attacks each day. I desperately munched on cacao nibs (which taste like earth/dirt, as you probably know)... but they tasted like the best thing in the world to me! I don't know if it was my body trying to correct the imbalance or if it was an addiction/withdrawal response. Cacao has a ton of copper and although I was considered "copper toxic", my copper was biounavailable and unbound (causing severe EMF sensitivity). 6+ years later and I'm still feeling unbalanced in the copper department. Copper spikes during the menstrual cycle... triggering or interacting with estrogen (again, dumping unbound copper into the bloodstream where it takes a while to clear out and in the meantime exacerbates anxiety and EMF sensitivity, etc.).

I know Candice worked with an interesting man named Morely Robbins (I linked one of his podcasts below) who was passionate about supporting ceruloplasmin which binds copper. (Something like that... Candice and others will know more.) Rosemary has a practice where she helps people get their minerals in balance and knows a ton about this too! I've heard others like Melissa and ... I don't know... lots of wise and beautiful people....talk about this topic over the years. There's much to learn and it seems to be on the table (still). I apologize if this topic has already been discussed... I've not had as much margin this year to stay up to date on this wonderful forum, but I wanted to honor my nudge to bring it up today as well.

So I guess my goal is to put a pin in this and invite any experience on how others are balancing these key minerals.
