With Gen Kelsang Gomlam<br />

What is the most meaningful way to use our life? •<br />

What will make us truly happy? • What will benefit<br />

others most? • And when this life is over, what will<br />

help us then?” Contemplating these questions <strong>and</strong><br />

looking at death with wisdom encourages us to<br />

use our life to develop protection from fear <strong>and</strong> a<br />

determination not to waste our human life.<br />

Manifesting with the Yoga Masters<br />

How to Successfully Manifest Happiness<br />

October 16, 4:30-7:30pm<br />

$35 Introductory Month Includes<br />

Lots of Hot Yoga <strong>and</strong> this Workshop<br />

($25 for Blissful Spirits members)<br />

The teachings of Yogan<strong>and</strong>a’s lineage explain why so<br />

many people fail to materialize a life of their dreams:<br />

to be youthful (at any age), beautiful, fit, strong, <strong>and</strong><br />

healthy; to pursue your divine purpose; to be prosperous,<br />

<strong>and</strong> to have healthy <strong>and</strong> happy relationships.<br />

The sixth part of the workshop series, Exploring the<br />

Principles of The Sacred Hot Yoga MethodSM, will<br />

be an active discussion on the external obstacles <strong>and</strong><br />

internal resistance which inevitably cause failure <strong>and</strong><br />

despair. The emphasis will be on overcoming one’s<br />

negative samskaras, the habitual tendencies to repeat<br />

the same wrong thoughts, actions, <strong>and</strong> words, <strong>and</strong> to<br />

instead consciously manifest what you truly desire.<br />

to be negatively affected. Channelled healing.<br />

The production process for<br />

each issue is unique, <strong>and</strong> this<br />

issue has been quite an adventure!<br />

The cover author, Dr.<br />

Christiane Northrup, was<br />

so passionate about natural<br />

women’s health <strong>and</strong> the progress<br />

that has been made with<br />

natural health breakthroughs <strong>and</strong> new offerings,<br />

that her enthusiasm was truly contagious.<br />

Take some time to read the feature<br />

about her <strong>and</strong> her updated, revised book,<br />

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (for<br />

yourself or a woman you love) <strong>and</strong> think<br />

about purchasing the book. It’s an amazing<br />

reference material…truly life-changing for<br />

me <strong>and</strong> something that every woman could<br />

benefit from owning.<br />

This is also the 4th annual Fair issue,<br />

<strong>and</strong> this year there are some wonderful<br />

changes afoot. The venue is the same as<br />

it has been for the past three years (Albuquerque<br />

Center for Spiritual Living), but<br />

it will be bigger <strong>and</strong> better than ever! The<br />

church is remodeling the space across the<br />

courtyard from the sanctuary <strong>and</strong> nonadvertisers<br />

have an opportunity to participate.<br />

(In the past, the Fair was exclusively for<br />

my advertisers.)<br />

The Albuquerque Center for Spiritual<br />

Living is a co-sponsor in the Fair this year<br />

<strong>and</strong> table space is very reasonably priced<br />

(see pages 10 <strong>and</strong> 11 for more Fair information),<br />

<strong>and</strong> tickets to the Whole Foods<br />

buffet are included. A small entrance fee to<br />

the Fair ($7) has been implemented this<br />

year <strong>and</strong> that includes one trip through the<br />

buffet as well as entrance to the Fair <strong>and</strong> attendance<br />

at one or more of the three workshops<br />

newly featured this year.<br />

I love hearing from readers that they<br />

read everything “cover to cover every issue”<br />

<strong>and</strong> “thank you for producing the<br />

magazine”. Through the years, I have heard<br />

many stories about how one article or another<br />

“changed the reader’s life,” <strong>and</strong> it always<br />

makes me feel great. Since the July/<br />

August issue came out, two readers extended<br />

special thanks for featuring Suzanne<br />

Somers <strong>and</strong> her newest book, Knockout;<br />

Interviews with Doctors Who are Curing<br />

Cancer <strong>and</strong> How to Prevent Getting it in<br />

the First Place. Both of these readers’ lives<br />

have been incredibly altered after receiving<br />

a cancer diagnosis (for themselves or a<br />

very close loved one). While each is doing<br />

their own research on treatment options;,<br />

what touched me most about these two<br />

stories was that each had read the Somers<br />

article <strong>and</strong> the book, prompting them to<br />

start one of the cancer treatment programs<br />

discussed in Knockout. Both readers were<br />

very grateful for the information.<br />

It is a true blessing to me to do work I<br />

love so much, but even more fulfilling is<br />

the knowledge that the magazine affects<br />

the lives of readers in positive, uplifting<br />

ways. It just doesn’t get better than that.<br />

I hope your summer has been wonderful<br />

<strong>and</strong> memorable, <strong>and</strong> that you felt, “<strong>Truly</strong><br />

<strong>Alive</strong>” through it all. Next issue will be our<br />

holiday issue, featuring lots of ideas for holiday<br />

gift giving (<strong>and</strong> for taking special care<br />

of yourself during the hectic holiday season!).<br />

Abdominal Pain, Menstrual<br />

Cramps, Incontinence – Yes, there<br />

is a Myofascial component<br />

MyoRehab Has Answers By Victoria L Magown<br />

In the last issue of <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong>, we discussed how both<br />

osteoarthritis <strong>and</strong> rheumatoid arthritis have a Myofascial<br />

component that we can treat to decrease pain <strong>and</strong> increase<br />

range of motion. Abdominal pain, menstrual cramps <strong>and</strong><br />

incontinence can also have a Myofascial component.<br />

Shortened <strong>and</strong> contracted abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia can<br />

place pressure on the internal organs. Visa versa, dysfunctional<br />

internal organs can create Trigger Points in the abdominal muscles<br />

<strong>and</strong> shortening of the fascia causing pain <strong>and</strong> restriction.<br />

Trigger Points are hypersensitive, self-sustained contraction<br />

knots that develop in muscle <strong>and</strong> fascia. They cause a shortening<br />

in the length of the muscle called a taut b<strong>and</strong> which in turn<br />

restricts range of motion. When these taut b<strong>and</strong>s are stimulated<br />

by contracting or stretching, pain is triggered <strong>and</strong> referred in predictable<br />

patterns away from the Trigger Point.<br />

During an automobile accident, the lap seatbelt impacts the<br />

abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia so severely that in some cases people<br />

have experienced bruising. The resultant Trigger Point restriction<br />

puts pressure on the internal organs causing them to become<br />

dysfunctional. This could cause chronic abdominal pain which<br />

interferes with normal eating <strong>and</strong> digestion, contributing to acid<br />

reflux, flatulence <strong>and</strong> indigestion. The bowels <strong>and</strong> bladder can<br />

also be affected causing constipation <strong>and</strong> difficulty urinating.<br />

Dorothy came to MyoRehab after a car accident <strong>and</strong> one of<br />

her symptoms, as well as whiplash, was peri-menopause. She was<br />

only 35 years old. Dorothy was quite thin <strong>and</strong> the impact from<br />

the seatbelt caused the abdominals to spasm which put pressure<br />

on the reproductive organs <strong>and</strong> stopped her menses <strong>and</strong> hormone<br />

production. After treating the abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia, she<br />

started menses <strong>and</strong> hormone production within two weeks. No<br />

more peri-menopause.<br />

Andrea had suffered with menstrual cramps since she was 13<br />

years old. Now, at 16 years old, they were so severe she would<br />

miss one or two days of school most months. After treatment of<br />

the abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia, Andrea only felt slight discomfort<br />

for a day or two during her menstrual cycle. We addressed<br />

perpetuating factors <strong>and</strong> found she was doing 100 sit-ups<br />

a day without stretching the abdominal muscles following her<br />

workout. We asked her to reduce the number of sit-ups initially<br />

to twenty-five <strong>and</strong> always stretch the abdominals after her workouts.<br />

Then as she became pain free, she could add five sit-ups a<br />

week, as long as the menstrual cramps did not exacerbate.<br />

Alice came to MyoRehab for relief of left hip pain after a fall<br />

when she was 48 years old. It wasn’t until the third treatment,<br />

(while I was explaining how unlevel pubic bones can cause incontinence<br />

as I used a Muscle Energy Technique to mobilize her<br />

sacrum, right ilium <strong>and</strong> pubic bones) that Alice confided she had<br />

given up her beloved aerobics due to incontinence when jumping<br />

<strong>and</strong> dancing. She was also experiencing incontinence when<br />

coughing or sneezing. Now at 50 years old, she thought incontinence<br />

was just something that happens as you get older. She<br />

had already had the appropriate incontinence tests which were<br />

all negative for pathology.<br />

So we knew that mis-aligned pelvic joints, as well as muscles<br />

<strong>and</strong> fascia splinting <strong>and</strong> bracing were the cause of her incontinence.<br />

Alice is now quite happy jumping <strong>and</strong> dancing in her<br />

aerobics class without any mishaps.<br />

Yes, abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia can cause multiple problems<br />

in the pelvic region. And since we treat using Integrated Manual<br />

Trigger Point Therapy, you are assured that all the components<br />

of your pain issue are addressed during each treatment. We use<br />

Trigger Point Pressure Release (TPR), Deep Fascia Manipulation<br />

(DFM) <strong>and</strong> Joint Mobilization during every treatment. This protocol<br />

produces bio-chemical <strong>and</strong> proprioceptive changes in your<br />

body that significantly decreases or eliminates the pain.<br />

Esoteric Acupuncture–<br />

Is It for You?<br />

By Denise LaRosa, DOM<br />

All through my years of treating patients <strong>and</strong> self-examination<br />

of how healing actually occurs, I have found a modality<br />

of treatment that answered my questions <strong>and</strong> fulfilled my<br />

deepest desire to assist one in their personal journey towards true<br />

health <strong>and</strong> growth.<br />

Esoteric Acupuncture is a way of setting in motion the<br />

correct vibrational fi eld for accessing your higher levels of<br />

consciousness while releasing obstacles that are blocking the<br />

healing process. So why would we want to do this? A couple<br />

compelling reasons would be to have the experience of genuine<br />

connectiveness <strong>and</strong> to open up ourselves to various states of<br />

awareness where you just know things (4th dimension).<br />

So how is this accomplished? The primary focus with<br />

Esoteric Acupuncture is to assist healing on all levels; physical,<br />

ancestral, mental <strong>and</strong> emotional by utilizing Traditional<br />

Acupuncture Theory, the Hindu Chakra System <strong>and</strong> Sacred<br />

Geometry.<br />

From patients that I have been treating with this modality<br />

they have made comments like: “I can now feel the energy<br />

moving within my body”, I’m experiencing a stillness <strong>and</strong><br />

peace in my life”, “I can now see things with more clarity”, “I<br />

have a distinct form of awareness, like something is present<br />

that wasn’t there before”, I feel more stable <strong>and</strong> open to life”.<br />

There are additional aspects gained from these treatments<br />

as well. Increased immune system function, reduced<br />

stress levels, increased energy <strong>and</strong> circulation throughout<br />

the body <strong>and</strong> release of stagnation from the physical <strong>and</strong><br />

emotional levels.<br />

So is it for you? If you have the desire to awaken your highest<br />

spiritual aspects <strong>and</strong> move toward living a life of exp<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

peace <strong>and</strong> wellness, then I would guess it’s a yes!<br />

Dr. LaRosa has a part-time practice at Sanjevani Health <strong>and</strong> Lifestyle<br />

Get a Grip –<br />

Get a Life!!!<br />

By Rev. Jac Blackman<br />

Many people find life <strong>and</strong> people diffi cult to deal<br />

with <strong>and</strong> are barely in control of their live—if<br />

at all. You have the ability to take back control<br />

of your life, but it is important to underst<strong>and</strong> universal<br />

principles—such as the law of Cause <strong>and</strong> Effect, the power<br />

of your emotions, relationships with self <strong>and</strong> others, what<br />

prayer REALLY is, finding infallible guidance, <strong>and</strong> your<br />

birthrights of a really good life.<br />

These issues <strong>and</strong> more will be covered in the Foundational<br />

Class offered at the High Desert Center starting in September.<br />

Class start date <strong>and</strong> other information are on our website at<br />

hdcsl.org.<br />

We live in a time of evolution with amplifying energies <strong>and</strong><br />

accelerating consciousness, <strong>and</strong> it is important to underst<strong>and</strong><br />

our relationship with the universe in order to live the fullest<br />

life possible. A constant of life is change, <strong>and</strong> it is important<br />

to get things changing in a favorable direction.<br />

Ernest Holmes, founder of Science of Mind, says, “Change<br />

Your Thinking, Change Your Life!” This is the same as Jesus<br />

meant when he said, “Judge not by appearances, but judge<br />

righteously.” Jesus taught us to not judge, so it is important<br />

to underst<strong>and</strong> his statement. “Judging by appearances‘<br />

which means believing things are as they are <strong>and</strong> you have<br />

no power to change it.” I say, “Don’t let the evidence get to<br />

you!” “Judging righteously” means perceiving the situation<br />

from a spiritual perspective <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing that you have<br />

the power of the Word to change many situations in your<br />

life—since we have been created in the image <strong>and</strong> likeness<br />

of the Creator.<br />

Many people do not realize that fear is prayer in the wrong<br />

direction. Whether we care to admit it or not, we control the<br />

preponderance of our lives, <strong>and</strong> our thoughts <strong>and</strong> feelings<br />

<strong>and</strong> beliefs are the precursor of our lives. So with all your<br />

getting, get underst<strong>and</strong>ing!<br />

Women’s Sensitive<br />

Bodies…Women’s<br />

Sensitive Hormones<br />

By Dr. Emil Faithe, Medical Intuitive<br />

Over-Nurturing Others Can Create<br />

Hormone Chaos<br />

You are Sensitive<br />

Women (<strong>and</strong> many men) often forget<br />

how emotionally sensitive they are. They<br />

forget how they “feel” everything, from<br />

everybody <strong>and</strong> everything, mostly without<br />

realizing. Simply put, you are sensitive;<br />

you are an Empath. As such, the energies<br />

of the outside world can profoundly affect<br />

your mood, energy levels, motivation, the<br />

functionality of your organs... <strong>and</strong> your<br />

hormones. And if you are one who overnurtures<br />

others while under-nurturing<br />

yourself, your body feels that too, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

result is often hormone chaos.<br />

Low Progesterone Levels Create<br />

Turmoil<br />

Low progesterone levels are at the<br />

root cause of thyroid dysfunction <strong>and</strong><br />

weight gain, difficult or painful periods,<br />

fatigue, migraines, insomnia, anxiety,<br />

low mood, low libido, <strong>and</strong> much more.<br />

If you are woman of any age <strong>and</strong> you<br />

are having any of these issues, you likely<br />

have low progesterone levels. If you’ve<br />

had a hysterectomy, even a “partial”<br />

hysterectomy, you can count on it.<br />

High Estrogen Levels Create Serious<br />

Issues<br />

Yes, low estrogen levels can cause<br />

hot flashes <strong>and</strong> night sweats. This is well<br />

known. What’s NOT well known is the fact<br />

that most women are running around with<br />

HIGH estrogen levels. High estrogen levels<br />

are a serious but commonly overlooked<br />

health problem that can lead to fibrocystic<br />

ovaries (PCOS), fibrocystic breasts, <strong>and</strong><br />

endometriosis, <strong>and</strong> if left unchecked can<br />

lead to breast or ovarian cancer.<br />

Just Say No<br />

Using prescription hormones like<br />

Premarin, Estrace, Provera, Vivelle,<br />

Activella or any oral birth control pill can<br />

absolutely wreak havoc on your natural,<br />

sensitive progesterone <strong>and</strong> estrogen<br />

balance, <strong>and</strong> ultimately make things worse<br />

rather than better. Stay clear of these. So<br />

Protection from<br />

EMF Smog<br />

By Martyne Backman<br />

We create <strong>and</strong> chronicle our lives on our computers<br />

<strong>and</strong> BlackBerrys. Satellite television <strong>and</strong> the Internet<br />

bring us 24/7 entertainment <strong>and</strong> news from around<br />

the world as it happens. Increasingly we have more options, more<br />

frequencies, stronger signals. From instant messages to instant<br />

dinners, we want it all—<strong>and</strong> we expect it to be better <strong>and</strong> faster<br />

than last week.<br />

The tools <strong>and</strong> devices we use to inform <strong>and</strong> entertain us are taking<br />

a huge toll on our health <strong>and</strong> well-being. Our energy field is the<br />

blueprint for the physical, mental, <strong>and</strong> emotional bodies. If our<br />

energy field gets damaged, our health suffers. The electromagnetic<br />

frequencies of our high-tech world—from satellites, microwaves,<br />

cell phones, wireless Internet, TV <strong>and</strong> radio transmissions—bombard<br />

us three hundred thous<strong>and</strong> times per minute. Every electric,<br />

electronic, <strong>and</strong> battery-powered device produces EMFs (electro<br />

magnetic frequencies) as well. EMFs disrupt our bodies’ natural<br />

energy fields, attack our immune systems, <strong>and</strong> drain us of energy.<br />

As our electronic devices batter our energy fields, they add stress<br />

to our lives. Frequency overload can manifest in different ways:<br />

fatigue, depression, anxiety <strong>and</strong> headaches. As the immune system<br />

breaks down, our bodies become susceptible to problems such as<br />

allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, <strong>and</strong> Fibromyalgia.<br />

Fortunately, you don’t need to move to a deserted isl<strong>and</strong>, but you<br />

do need to arm yourself with a positive energy field more powerful<br />

than the negative frequencies that bombard you every day. The<br />

Rejuvenizers® created by Dr. Phyllis Light are powerful energetic<br />

devices designed to protect <strong>and</strong> heal users from the harmful effects<br />

of EMFs, helping to keep the wearer in a positive, life-supporting<br />

energy field. You can be safe <strong>and</strong> protected wherever you are by<br />

wearing a Rejuvenizer®.<br />

Martyne Backman, a Reiki Master practitioner <strong>and</strong> teacher in Albuquerque,<br />

is the New Mexico representative for the Rejuvenizers®. For<br />

Smiles for Miles’ very own Elizabeth Ferrell, Holistic<br />

Dental Hygienist.<br />

After numerous personal consultations on dental tourism<br />

(specific to Costa Rica <strong>and</strong> my amazing personal experiences);<br />

I have quite often heard the same question, “When will you<br />

be going back down? I would like to travel with you!” When I<br />

combine these requests with the great response I’ve gotten to<br />

my dental tourism articles, I can only conclude; it’s time now<br />

to schedule a group tour.<br />

Working with a travel agent to get the best airfares to Costa<br />

Rica, along with my personal connections with boutique<br />

hotels, travel centers, bed <strong>and</strong> breakfasts <strong>and</strong> private car/tour<br />

guides, I can now offer package group tours for positively<br />

wonderful Dental Tours to Costa Rica. The group rate is allinclusive,<br />

(except for the dental treatment of course, which will<br />

very with each individual).<br />

Tours will include 7 to 10 days/nights at one of our bed<br />

<strong>and</strong> breakfast locations or boutique hotel, plus airfare, all<br />

airport transfers <strong>and</strong> transportation to <strong>and</strong> from your dental<br />

appointment with dentist of your choice. It will include all<br />

breakfasts <strong>and</strong> five dinners. One group excursion of your<br />

choice will be included as well as lunch that day. Choose from<br />

visiting the beach, volcanoes, waterfalls or rainforest along with<br />

a museum visit in San Jose, Costa Rica.<br />

Best of all, you will have your own personal dental hygienist<br />

right by your side to guide you, reassure you, help you <strong>and</strong> share<br />

in your wonderful positive Costa Rican Dental Experience.<br />

Oh, My Aching Back!<br />

Dr. Kirk Manson, Chiropractic Center for Rehabilitation <strong>and</strong> Relaxation<br />

This statement, “Oh, my aching back!” is one heard<br />

in many doctor’s offices around the country. Low<br />

back pain is the second leading cause of visits to a<br />

doctor, <strong>and</strong> the fifth leading cause for surgery. In<br />

the United States, the total treatment cost <strong>and</strong> lost work time<br />

is approximately 100 billion dollars a year.<br />

Why? Well let’s see what the culprits are? Although there<br />

are a number of causes of lower back pain, too numerous to<br />

discuss in our limited space, the main problem we see in our<br />

office are a misalignment of the joints in the back called a<br />

subluxation. This causes problems with proper nerve function<br />

<strong>and</strong> causes Myofascial pain which is a knot or tight b<strong>and</strong> in the<br />

muscle tissue generating its own unique pain pattern. Most<br />

commonly, these two problems coexist with one another; each<br />

re-enforcing the other.<br />

The main question I am asked by patients is, “How did I<br />

get this problem?” Usually it is a combination of the slips,<br />

trips, <strong>and</strong> falls you had <strong>and</strong> thought you had healed up<br />

from. However, often even then these problems will remain<br />

unnoticed without something more to provoke the pain.<br />

Do you awake with pain? If so, have you considered<br />

one of the more overlooked culprits- that your bed could<br />

be part of the problem? Most people see their bed as simply<br />

the place they rest at night. Instead, think of your mattress<br />

as your orthopedic supportive device which allows you to<br />

awake feeling….rested! If you’re waking up with pain, it<br />

doesn’t matter how much time you spend in the bed if it is not<br />

supporting you. Also remember, the springs tend to wear out<br />

after a few years; creating a new set of problems (which end up<br />

hurting you instead of helping you).<br />

And how about those shoes? Do they support your arches,<br />

all three of them? How long have you had your favorite shoes?<br />

In order to be your favorite, have you had time to develop a<br />

relationship with them? But is it a dysfunctional one? What<br />

is the wear on the heel of the shoe look like? Is it even or it<br />

is worn on one side more than the other? How about those<br />

high heels? By increasing the angle of flexion of the ankle<br />

during walking, the stress along the joints of the ankle<br />

<strong>and</strong> feet shifts forward. This increase in stress on the ankle<br />

changes the gait <strong>and</strong> is transferred to the knees—leading to<br />

an increase in osteoarthritis of the knees <strong>and</strong> destabilization<br />

of the hip muscles. This re-enforces the subluxation previously<br />

mentioned. The trigger points in the gluteals increase as the<br />

body tries to stabilize your gait while your heels are moving<br />

around somewhat r<strong>and</strong>omly.<br />

What about that purse or back pack you are carrying<br />

around with you? Purses should have as little as possible in<br />

them. I know you’ve read this before… but just think about it.<br />

The more you carry on one shoulder slung to the side (with the<br />

weight resting on those small shoulder straps which are pressing<br />

into the muscles in the upper back <strong>and</strong> shoulder trigger points),<br />

the more money you get to spend with doctors <strong>and</strong> therapists<br />

for neck <strong>and</strong> back pain <strong>and</strong> unresolved headaches. People of all<br />

ages are carrying back packs. The weight of backpacks should<br />

be limited to no more than 10 percent of the carrier’s weight<br />

according to the American Chiropractic Association. Studies<br />

show a significant shift in a person’s balance forward with a<br />

greater the percentage of weight someone is carrying.<br />

These are examples of how chronic or recurrent pain is<br />

often provoked by normal activities we take for granted. It<br />

is frequently the case that 2 or 3 activities during our day<br />

are enough to aggravate conditions such as lower back pain;<br />

resulting in years of unnecessary pain.<br />

Clean Up Your Health<br />

with Colonics<br />

By Bill Haggard, LMT #2554<br />

(This is a paid advertisement.)<br />

It’s easy to be passionate about what helped save your life.<br />

Colonics proved invaluable to my health recovery over 23<br />

years ago. I’ve been a colon therapist now for 18+ years.<br />

It’s natural <strong>and</strong> refreshing to bathe or shower; a colonic is<br />

an internal shower. With 60% of your immune system in your<br />

intestinal tract (Jesse Hanley, MD), attention to colon hygiene<br />

could help your health. Cleansing with water supports your<br />

body’s normal detoxification <strong>and</strong> repair. Washing the large<br />

intestine assists other organs of elimination: the liver, lungs,<br />

skin, lymph <strong>and</strong> kidneys.<br />

One meal in, one meal out would make common sense.<br />

Yet in my experience, there is more to cleansing than regular<br />

bowel movements. Stress levels, insufficient water intake,<br />

processed foods, chemical exposures, travel, lack of exercise <strong>and</strong><br />

unprocessed traumas can contribute to accumulation of toxins.<br />

Whatever is breathed, ingested or touches your skin can be<br />

absorbed. Think Twinkies <strong>and</strong> household cleaners.<br />

This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I feel as<br />

though all of the stress of the last year is washing out of my<br />

body. I feel renewed. – Z.W., Albuquerque<br />

After the chemical inhalation at work, I had two years of<br />

brain fog <strong>and</strong> trouble reading. Thank you for dramatically<br />

restoring <strong>and</strong> even improving my health! – G.T., Colorado<br />

My clients do colonics for a variety of reasons. Those in good<br />

health use them as part of a cleansing program or for health<br />

maintenance. Athletes want an edge in their performance.<br />

Many with imbalances want relief from constipation, skin<br />

rashes, food poisoning, excess gas <strong>and</strong> more. For clients with<br />

serious conditions colonics can assist with pain relief/ increased<br />

comfort <strong>and</strong> help improve healing capacity.<br />

Change Your Thinking,<br />

Change Your Life<br />

By Joy Lynn of Joyous Creations<br />

And yes, this applies to food as well. Many of my<br />

personal chef clients share their food journey with<br />

me <strong>and</strong> I have found that a lot of time is spent on<br />

“regretful” thinking, as I like to call it. If I had done this...,<br />

or if I had done that... then I would be “happy”, “skinny”,<br />

“wealthy”—well you get my drift. Or “if I could just...” Well,<br />

you can. Just say YES! And start making small shifts towards<br />

meeting your goals.<br />

Maybe YES! for you is creating space in your life by allowing<br />

us to cook fresh, tasty meals that you just pop out of your<br />

fridge or freezer. Maybe YES! for you is shifting to healthier<br />

eating. That could be something as simple as changing the<br />

way you flavor your food or being more conscious about the<br />

snacks you choose. Fresh herbs are a wonderful way to add a<br />

burst of flavor in a healthy delicious way. Experiment. Make<br />

a commitment to pick out one herb you have not tried before<br />

the next time you make a grocery run.<br />

How to Succeed With Your<br />

Back -To-School Budget<br />

<strong>and</strong> Worry Less About What Could be Lurking in the Lunchbox<br />

From the Whole Deal booklet at Whole Foods Market<br />

Our 365 Everyday Value® <strong>and</strong> 365 Organic Everyday<br />

Value® products are what your pantry <strong>and</strong> pocketbook have<br />

been waiting for. With value prices 365 days a year, our products<br />

are formulated just for us, meet all our quality st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong><br />

will change the way you shop at Whole Foods Market. That’s<br />

because we have it all—from flour <strong>and</strong> condiments to dairy<br />

products <strong>and</strong> frozen veggies. We also offer a wide variety of<br />

organic choices at an incredible value. Below are some products<br />

you might use to pack your child’s lunch <strong>and</strong> feel confident<br />

that there are never any hydrogenated fats, added sugars,<br />

artificial colors or flavors ever used!<br />

365 Everyday Value® Organic Fruit Strips<br />

An actual piece of fruit rules but, FYI these are made<br />

with real organic fruit—no added sugar or artificial colors or<br />

flavors. And they are Naturally Sweet! Varieties include Peach,<br />

Strawberry, Very Berry, Cranberry, Blueberry or Cherry. These<br />

are awesome!<br />

365 Everyday Value® Recloseable S<strong>and</strong>wich<br />

or Storage Bags<br />

Two of the smartest tips for saving are in the bag: pack your<br />

own lunch <strong>and</strong> keep food fresh so it won’t go to waste. Even smarter,<br />

purchase bags that is free of phthalates <strong>and</strong> PVC (polyvinyl<br />

chloride). Choose from S<strong>and</strong>wich bags or Gallon Size Storage Bags.<br />

Whole Foods Market Organic Lip Balm<br />

Heads up! No petroleum here! These are made with all organic<br />

plant oils, beeswax <strong>and</strong> Shea Butter, plus natural flavors<br />

to meet our highest st<strong>and</strong>ards (wholefoodsmarket.com/<br />

premiumbodycare). Choices include Peppermint, Tangerine,<br />

Vanilla Honey or new Pomegranate Orange!<br />

365 Everyday Value® Organic String Cheese<br />

It starts with cows, living the organic lifestyle on family<br />

farms where family members themselves actually work. A<br />

co-op of these farms supplies the milk to produce our string<br />

cheese, <strong>and</strong> as part of the National Organic St<strong>and</strong>ards, they<br />

never treat those honest hard-working cows with the synthetic<br />

hormone rBST. In fact, they go above <strong>and</strong> beyond organic<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards in caring for their animals.<br />

The only three ingredients in this cheese are part-skim<br />

milk, salt <strong>and</strong> microbial enzymes (not animal enzymes). This<br />

cheese is an excellent source of calcium <strong>and</strong> a good source of<br />

protein for snacks <strong>and</strong> lunches.<br />

365 Everyday Value® Kids Cherry-Flavored<br />

Multi-Vitamin<br />

The American Medical Association recommends that<br />

every person take a multivitamin daily. Kids can get all the<br />

nutrients they need if they eat a balanced, healthy diet ever<br />

day with a variety of whole foods, but does that sound like any<br />

kid you know (or any of us, really)? A multi helps ensure they<br />

are getting the essential vitamins <strong>and</strong> minerals necessary for<br />

healthy, strong minds <strong>and</strong> bodies.<br />

While it’s easy to find fun <strong>and</strong> fruity supplements that<br />

taste good to kids, it’s the nutrients they need, not artificial<br />

colors, flavors <strong>and</strong> sweeteners. It’s also important that kid’s<br />

supplements taste good to them. So here’s the cherry on top:<br />

our chewable cherry-flavored multi has no artificial anything.<br />

What it does have—beyond the basics—are additional<br />

nutrients such as spirulina <strong>and</strong> broccoli powders, to provide<br />

extra support.<br />

Supercharge Your<br />

Weight Loss with hCG<br />

By Philomena E. Marcus, CFNP<br />

If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, quickly <strong>and</strong><br />

more easily than ever before, then an hCG program is the<br />

most amazing option you could choose! This incredibly<br />

effective program typically produces a pound a day in<br />

weight loss; <strong>and</strong>, in many cases, up to 2 pounds a day, without<br />

the hunger pains, weakness, or irritability normally associated<br />

with a low calorie diet!<br />

HCG increases metabolism while burning the fat (which has<br />

accumulated in various parts of the body). It works to reshape<br />

your body naturally, without exercise <strong>and</strong> yet avoids the<br />

hanging skin issues often associated with quick weight loss.<br />

What is hCG?<br />

hCG—Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a protein<br />

hormone that is naturally produced in a woman’s body during<br />

pregnancy at extremely high levels without negative side effects.<br />

For years it has been used mainly for fertility <strong>and</strong> other hormonal<br />

issues. Research now shows that hCG is found in every cell of<br />

the body.<br />

Philomena E. Marcus, CFNP<br />

Is hCG Safe?<br />

hCG is extremely safe. During pregnancy, women produce<br />

very high levels with no adverse effects. hCG has been used for<br />

many decades as a fertility treatment with much higher doses<br />

than used for weight loss. hCG only stays in the system for three<br />

days after the last treatment, is FDA approved <strong>and</strong> can only be<br />

obtained by a prescription.<br />

The hCG Story<br />

The use of hCG in the treatment of obesity was first<br />

discovered by the late British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons.<br />

After devoting years to researching patients who were suffering<br />

from obesity, Dr. Simeons first published a report on the topic<br />

in 1954, while practicing in Rome, Italy. Working with some<br />

obese patients on his hCG program, he noticed several important<br />

factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from<br />

a patient on a very low calorie diet. For example, his patients<br />

had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long<br />

as the low calorie diet was combined with hCG. Throughout<br />

his research with hCG diet injections, Dr. Simeons noted how<br />

patients lost significant amounts of weight while their bodies<br />

reshaped naturally without exercise, <strong>and</strong> without effort. This led<br />

him to discover how patients lost more fat tissue directly from<br />

adipose tissue accumulations, causing highly visible contouring<br />

of the body. (From www.hcgdietinfo.com.)<br />

Since Dr. Simeons’ discovery of hCG <strong>and</strong> the success rate<br />

of his hCG protocol for weight loss has been phenomenal. Dr.<br />

Simeons’ weight loss method is so effective that few changes have<br />

been made in his protocol despite four decades of new knowledge,<br />

<strong>and</strong> only recently has received the attention it deserves.<br />

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food <strong>and</strong> Drug Administration<br />

(FDA). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.<br />

hCG is not recognized by the FDA as weight loss drug. hCG is FDA approved.<br />

Can the Integrated Family Wellness Center<br />

guarantee success?<br />

If the program is followed per instructions, you will absolutely<br />

see positive results! We are always here to provide counsel <strong>and</strong><br />

support; however you have ultimate control of how committed<br />

you are to the program. Every patient who has followed the<br />

protocol has seen fast <strong>and</strong> effective weight loss.<br />

Call today, 505-293-1658, to schedule a consultation <strong>and</strong> see if an<br />

hCG program is right for you. We will answer all of your questions<br />

<strong>and</strong> are confident that once you have the information, you will<br />

join the ranks of tens of thous<strong>and</strong>s, including the rich <strong>and</strong> famous<br />

who are experiencing weight loss the hCG way! Philomena Marcus,<br />

CFNP <strong>and</strong> the staff at Integrated Family Wellness Center offers a<br />

transformative, life-enhancing <strong>and</strong> holistic approach to your wellbeing<br />

<strong>and</strong> all of your health care needs!<br />

Spiritual Activism: Being <strong>Alive</strong>,<br />

Aware, <strong>and</strong> Awake<br />

By Rev. Kylie Renner<br />

Have you ever run into a person who is so Spiritual they<br />

are no earthly good? Doesn’t it seem like they’ve missed the<br />

point? The point of being here on the planet at this time can’t<br />

be that we should ignore the fact that we are here together on<br />

the planet. So what does it mean to be together, here <strong>and</strong> now,<br />

in this particular configuration that never existed before <strong>and</strong><br />

will never exist again? Many people mistakenly believe that in<br />

order to remain Spiritual one must remain outside of worldly<br />

events, that to remain Holy one must steer clear of earthly<br />

matters. But what if being involved in the world is important,<br />

even necessary for Spiritual growth?<br />

And, if being involved in the world is necessary for<br />

Spiritual growth, how do we find a powerful path of<br />

Spirituality <strong>and</strong> Presence on the planet? For me, I have<br />

found that being alive, aware, <strong>and</strong> awake means paying close<br />

attention to the activity on the planet so that I can better see<br />

the condition in which things are happening in Spirit. I can<br />

see the exterior world as a reflection, mirroring the activity<br />

<strong>and</strong> condition of my own inner l<strong>and</strong>scape, <strong>and</strong> the exterior<br />

world isn’t where change can take place. I can draw a pretty<br />

face on my bathroom mirror, <strong>and</strong> not change my own face at<br />

all. When I smile, my reflection smiles back. The same is true<br />

if I close my eyes to what is being reflected; I am still affected<br />

by what is going on around me, but I have closed my eyes to<br />

knowing its cause.<br />

So how do we interact with the world? I can vigorously<br />

campaign to bring about change, but if I do not first underst<strong>and</strong><br />

my own Spirit I cannot truly change a thing. I can stomp my<br />

feet, <strong>and</strong> claim injustice or close my eyes <strong>and</strong> deny it all, but I<br />

will be ineffectual, because all I will have demonstrated is that<br />

I am against the world. I will not have stood for something<br />

more.<br />

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science petitions<br />

us who seek an elevated Spiritual experience, to be FOR<br />

something <strong>and</strong> against nothing, <strong>and</strong> this can be one of the<br />

most difficult principles to both underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> implement in<br />

our lives. Being against something or saying “no” to it means<br />

that I’m still giving my attention to it, just in a different way.<br />

To be effective, I must focus my attention on what I am FOR,<br />

instead of letting my attention get derailed by what I am<br />

against.<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ing for something more transcends all of our little<br />

“no’s” with a more powerful “yes”. It means that I am aware of<br />

the activity of Spirit <strong>and</strong> am willing to surrender my limited<br />

idea for myself <strong>and</strong> the planet to be able to experience more of<br />

the good that is already seeking me. It means doing my own<br />

inner transformative work so that I set myself free to experience<br />

joy, peace, fulfillment, <strong>and</strong> maybe even bliss. It is not the<br />

universe’s intention that we live in fear, or lack, or any sense of<br />

limitation. All around us, if we are looking with the right eyes,<br />

are reminders of infinite love, possibility, <strong>and</strong> abundance. A<br />

young child, the eyes of an elderly person, roses in bloom, a<br />

magnificent tree, a work of art, a community event—these<br />

reminders can allow us to move deeper into experiencing what<br />

it means to be truly human, TRULY Spiritual.<br />

Being aware of the activity of Spirit in our lives, is to be<br />

a Spiritual Activist…to see how we participate in it, <strong>and</strong> to<br />

st<strong>and</strong> for something more—a world that works for everyone<br />

in which all life prospers—a world in which generous sharing<br />

of heart <strong>and</strong> resources is the everywhere. Join us to activate<br />

Spirit in your life, live with purpose, <strong>and</strong> transform the world<br />

TMJ <strong>and</strong> Chronic Pain,<br />

Plus Natural Pain Relief<br />

By Bill Wolfe, DDS<br />

SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE IN ALBUQUERQUE!<br />

Approximately 40 percent of all healthy individuals<br />

suffer from chronic headaches, <strong>and</strong> one out of eight<br />

people suffer from headaches so severe that they<br />

cannot function normally. Often, these problems are<br />

related to a common cause of chronic pain: TMJ syndrome.<br />

TMJ st<strong>and</strong>s for temporom<strong>and</strong>ibular joint. This is the joint in<br />

the jaw that allows the jaw to open, close. move backward <strong>and</strong><br />

forward, <strong>and</strong> from side to side. The term “TMJ Syndrome” refers<br />

to a malpositioning of the respective jaw structures <strong>and</strong> associated<br />

muscles. This condition results in muscle contractions, which<br />

are a factor in approximately 80 percent of all tension-related<br />

headaches. Some 75 million Americans are affected, but only<br />

about five percent are actually diagnosed correctly <strong>and</strong> treated.<br />

If you have any combination of the following complaints,<br />

you may be suffering from TMJ syndrome <strong>and</strong> related<br />

headaches:<br />

• Dizziness <strong>and</strong>/or lightheadedness<br />

• Ringing, buzzing, or clogged ears<br />

• Spasm <strong>and</strong>/or tightening in the back of the neck, shoulders, or<br />

face<br />

• Clicking or popping noises’ when opening or closing the jaw<br />

• Inability to open the mouth fully<br />

• Locking of the jaw joint<br />

• Pain behind the eyes<br />

• Earaches <strong>and</strong> sinus pain<br />

• Loss of upper body strength with teeth closed.<br />

While this patient did not specifically suffer from TMJrelated<br />

headaches, her TMJ journey is compelling <strong>and</strong><br />

may be of assistance to you:<br />

Dr. Wolfe:<br />

Before I came to see you, I had suff ered for 27 years. Various<br />

diagnoses (Meniere’s syndrome, neurological problems, “something<br />

akin to a form of epilepsy”, extreme vertigo <strong>and</strong> sleep apnea) were<br />

off ered, but no help. I was unable to walk across open spaces; had<br />

problems with driving; extreme sensitivity to light; a nervous system<br />

in a constant state of high alert; diffi culty with my neck; clinching<br />

<strong>and</strong> grinding of my teeth so that my back teeth ground down very<br />

badly. My social life was severely hampered.<br />

Although I saw numerous dentists over the years, <strong>and</strong> more than<br />

one of them mentioned that I may have a TMJ problem, no dentist<br />

addressed it. When I came to you, you knew quickly that my problems<br />

were related to TMJ. Finally I had a correct diagnosis! From<br />

the first day of treatment, I felt an easing in my jaw. Within a short<br />

time, I was walking unassisted <strong>and</strong> less reactive to light. Now I am<br />

enjoying an amazingly healthy life, without any of the prior restrictions<br />

or symptoms. I have been truly Resurrected! Thank you, thank you,<br />

thank you, Dr. Wolfe for giving me my life back!<br />

– Judy Barrett, Santa Fe<br />

TMJ Syndrome, although not a threat to longevity, can<br />

cause a lifetime of suffering. With appropriate treatment of<br />

TMJ, the quality of life for people with this syndrome can be<br />

greatly enhanced. If you have a concern that your chronic<br />

pain might be linked to TMJ <strong>and</strong> want to know more about<br />

Healing<br />

with Moxibustion<br />

By Linda Sullivan, DOM<br />

This powerful treatment stimulates circulation <strong>and</strong> a<br />

smoother flow of blood through the acupuncture points<br />

<strong>and</strong> throughout the body. It also produces a calming, analgesic<br />

(pain relieving) effect. When the skin is warmed by the<br />

moxibustion process, an anti-inflammatory response is initiated<br />

<strong>and</strong> the healing response is triggered. It’s an amazing therapeutic<br />

tool that’s been used with acupuncture for centuries.<br />

Moxibustion can be applied in dif-<br />

ferent ways; directly or indirectly. Direct<br />

moxibustion therapy involves the process<br />

of burning the dried herb artemesia<br />

vulgaris over certain parts of the body or<br />

acupuncture needles. This produces heat,<br />

Traditional Moxibustion<br />

which can penetrate deeply into the muscles<br />

Set from Ibuki (Japan) <strong>and</strong> acupuncture meridians. The fragrance<br />

of the herb travels through the meridians regulating Qi (life force)<br />

<strong>and</strong> blood, <strong>and</strong> expelling cold from the meridians. The process can<br />

beautifully resolve the symptoms of the common cold, abdominal<br />

discomfort (<strong>and</strong> other types of pain), diarrhea <strong>and</strong> muscle spasms.<br />

It also works well when used for urinary problems, phlegm in the<br />

lungs, poor digestion, nodules in the skin <strong>and</strong> arthritis.<br />

In conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion therapy can<br />

also be very effective for many diseases <strong>and</strong> conditions including<br />

back pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, tendonitis,<br />

arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, <strong>and</strong> female health problems<br />

such as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, <strong>and</strong> infertility.<br />

In the h<strong>and</strong>s of a skilled doctor of Oriental Medicine who underst<strong>and</strong>s<br />

where <strong>and</strong> how to apply it, moxibustion can be used<br />

safely <strong>and</strong> effectively with great results. To learn more about moxibustion<br />

<strong>and</strong> whether or not it could benefit, you, please call Linda<br />

When it was first published in<br />

1994, Women’s Bodies, Women’s<br />

Wisdom quickly became<br />

an international bestseller, <strong>and</strong> for the past<br />

fifteen years it has remained the veritable bible<br />

of women’s health. Now—fully updated<br />

<strong>and</strong> revised—Women’s Bodies, Women’s<br />

Wisdom was re-issued simultaneously as a<br />

Bantam Books Hardcover <strong>and</strong> a Bantam<br />

Trade Paperback on June 1, 2010 in t<strong>and</strong>em<br />

with her PBS special Christiane Northrup:<br />

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.<br />

In this revised <strong>and</strong> updated edition, worldrenowned<br />

<strong>and</strong> much-beloved women’s<br />

health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup<br />

shares the latest developments <strong>and</strong> advances<br />

that will maximize our potential for living<br />

well in our bodies today. Women’s Bodies,<br />

Women’s Wisdom, lets you take control of<br />

your medical options <strong>and</strong> powerfully demonstrates<br />

that when women with health<br />

problems change the basic conditions of<br />

their lives, they heal faster, more completely,<br />

<strong>and</strong> with far fewer medical interventions.<br />

Every chapter of this comprehensive<br />

guide has been reviewed for accuracy <strong>and</strong><br />

includes the most up-to-date information<br />

covering an entire range of women’s health<br />

concerns. Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom<br />

provides a behind-the-scenes tour of<br />

the female body, <strong>and</strong> is a must-have for every<br />

woman interested in knowing how to<br />

truly thrive <strong>and</strong> flourish.<br />

<strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong>: In your updated book, you<br />

talk about changing our thoughts <strong>and</strong> behaviors<br />

to create a healthy society. How<br />

do you suggest one begin to be more conscious<br />

in order to bring about this change?<br />

Dr. Christiane Northrup: The first thing<br />

people have to underst<strong>and</strong> is that the system<br />

of western medicine is very limited. It<br />

is effective for accidents, but it doesn’t do a<br />

good job with chronic, degenerative diseases<br />

such as osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease,<br />

cancer, diabetes <strong>and</strong> obesity. I heard a<br />

statistic recently that the average American<br />

man, woman & child uses 16 prescription<br />

medications to address issues that are<br />

largely stress related. We forget that conditions<br />

stem from the way we think about<br />

things! We get a headache <strong>and</strong> we think,<br />

“I’m so stressed at work,” or we feel a little<br />

depressed, <strong>and</strong> instead of realizing that the<br />

sadness indicates that there’s a need that<br />

isn’t being met, we go <strong>and</strong> get a prescription<br />

for Prozac. Western medicine concludes<br />

that disease is caused by germs <strong>and</strong><br />

if we have a bacterial infection, we take an<br />

anti-biotic. What it doesn’t consider is that<br />

the anti-biotic kills not only the potential<br />

germ, it kills friendly bacteria in our bodies<br />

(naturally occurring mostly in our guts,<br />

but other areas as well) <strong>and</strong> so, the single<br />

bullet western approach ends up creating<br />

an imbalance <strong>and</strong> often other health issues<br />

as a result. The other thing we can do to is<br />

to become emotionally literate. The emotions<br />

of anger <strong>and</strong> sadness mean you have<br />

a need that is not being met. We live in<br />

a culture that suggests that anytime something<br />

hurts, we should get over it immediately<br />

<strong>and</strong> move on; that there should be a<br />

pill for it. Rather than doing the hard work<br />

of identifying the need (<strong>and</strong> by the way we<br />

have all been talked out of our needs since<br />

childhood, ‘Don’t cry, or I’ll give you something<br />

to cry about.’). Unmet needs remain<br />

in the body crying out for attention, <strong>and</strong><br />

over time, if they are not attended to, the<br />

body will call our attention to that unmet<br />

need. And oftentimes ‘dis-ease’ is the end<br />

result. It starts with cellular inflammation.<br />

And cell membranes are the ‘brain’ of the<br />

cell. And, the cell membranes of one cell<br />

have the ability to communicate with all<br />

cells all over the body, almost simultaneously!<br />

We start to see the new paradigm; we<br />

start to see our bodies as a living organism<br />

in which one aspect of thought <strong>and</strong> emotion<br />

affects every other aspect of the body.<br />

TA: Could you please elaborate on this<br />

statement from the book, “Step 3: Respect<br />

<strong>and</strong> Release Your Emotions.”<br />

CN: Respect goes back to what we talked<br />

about earlier; which is that your emotion<br />

is there for a reason. It’s not because you<br />

are a flawed human being. Your emotion<br />

is trying to tell you something. The only<br />

way to move an emotion out of your body<br />

is to feel it. Feel it to heal it. All an emotion<br />

wants is to be respected <strong>and</strong> felt. And it will<br />

keep coming around over <strong>and</strong> over because<br />

usually the emotion is coming from an unhealed<br />

part of the physiology usually lost in<br />

childhood. This was a pain that you stuffed<br />

down because it wasn’t safe to feel it then<br />

<strong>and</strong> now it’s locked in time <strong>and</strong> space <strong>and</strong><br />

needs to be released.<br />

TA: One of my favorite quotes of<br />

yours is “Regardless of our individual<br />

circumstances...each of us has inner<br />

guidance available now <strong>and</strong> always to<br />

create vibrant health”. Can you exp<strong>and</strong><br />

on that a bit?<br />

CN: We each have this inner compass; this<br />

inner GPS that tells us what feels good <strong>and</strong><br />

what doesn’t feel good; what turns us on <strong>and</strong><br />

off; what increases blood supply, what shuts<br />

it down. We can call it our, “inner guidance<br />

system, our inner being, our 6th sense,<br />

emotional intelligence”. You have the key<br />

to the ignition <strong>and</strong> you can drive your life<br />

down the road the way you want to go. But<br />

20 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010


the moment you begin to give your power<br />

away; the moment you begin to think that<br />

doctors (or your mother or God forbid, the<br />

government) knows more than you, you are<br />

really in trouble. You don’t need to push up<br />

against that. You can work from wherever<br />

you are. More <strong>and</strong> more people are turning<br />

off the doom <strong>and</strong> gloom of what’s out there<br />

in the data sphere <strong>and</strong> choosing joy <strong>and</strong><br />

choosing health; choosing to listen to their<br />

own inner guidance, because it’s the only<br />

stance that makes sense. It’s the one associated<br />

with better sight, hearing, immunity,<br />

cardiovascular function. You can choose to<br />

be pessimistic if you want to, but it doesn’t<br />

make any sense once you know the data.<br />

TA: Can you tell our readers a bit about<br />

the power of naming <strong>and</strong> why it is so<br />

important?<br />

CN: When you can name something, you’ve<br />

taken a felt sense (vague sense of something)<br />

<strong>and</strong> moved it from the body to the right<br />

hemisphere of the brain (the creative center<br />

that sees visually, spatially, that feels, etc.,<br />

but has no language)—an idea that was not<br />

articulated across the corpus colusum into<br />

the left hemisphere which has language <strong>and</strong><br />

has the ability to articulate something. Once<br />

I had seen this new model/old mindset experience<br />

over <strong>and</strong> over, it gave me a way to<br />

deal with it artfully. A beautiful example is<br />

Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication.<br />

In the book, he has a list of needs<br />

correlated with a list of emotions—I found<br />

this information life changing. The missing<br />

piece for me was that the emotion is there as<br />

our inner guidance system to tell us when<br />

we have a need. We don’t have a language of<br />

emotional needs in our culture, but when I<br />

look at the list of emotions <strong>and</strong> I look at his<br />

corresponding list of needs, it was complete<br />

paradigm shift for me. It gave me a way to<br />

teach people how to become emotionally<br />

literate. When you go around saying, “I’m<br />

overwhelmed.” Can you see how that isn’t<br />

going to help you? If someone says to you,<br />

“Do you need rest, food, reassurance? Tell<br />

me a story about what’s going on in your<br />

life emotionally <strong>and</strong> I’ll help you identify<br />

the need <strong>and</strong> how to get it met.” Now that’s<br />

helpful! Once you can name the need, you<br />

are free!<br />

TA: How can we become more aware<br />

of our intuitive (guidance, nudges,<br />

messages, leadings, etc.)?<br />

CN: We have to start with the desire to become<br />

aware of it <strong>and</strong> want to cultivate it.<br />

We then have to be willing to give it space.<br />

If you have filled your life every waking moment<br />

with TV or radio, or spending every<br />

moment online or communicating with the<br />

data sphere, it has your complete attention.<br />

Many people feel that sitting in meditation<br />

is the best way to quiet the mind but for<br />

others, going for a walk can be a great way of<br />

cultivating intuition because the rhythmic<br />

motion of the legs <strong>and</strong> arms tends to balance<br />

the hemispheres of the brain <strong>and</strong> then<br />

information comes in more easily. Whatever<br />

feels right for you to create the space; do<br />

that. Then you learn to look for the signs,<br />

which are everywhere. The more you look,<br />

the more comes in <strong>and</strong> then it gets really<br />

fun! The synchronicities are everywhere—<br />

we just don’t normally see them. But when<br />

you combine space with intention, it’s as if<br />

you start to get a direct line to the universe.<br />

Fabulous!<br />

TA: How can women begin to realize how<br />

our cultural programming affects our<br />

lower genital areas <strong>and</strong> can cause issues?<br />

CN: This is a beautiful question. Let’s take<br />

a moment to look at the mythology of<br />

western civilization, particularly the Judeo-<br />

Christian <strong>and</strong> the Muslim ethic. Women<br />

are created to suffer during the menstrual<br />

cycle <strong>and</strong> they shall bring forth their children<br />

in pain <strong>and</strong> suffering because Eve ate<br />

the apple. We are taught that the genital<br />

areas are not safe; they are ‘dangerous’.<br />

We are told in a million ways not to touch<br />

yourself ‘down there’ that it’s ‘dirty’, <strong>and</strong>/<br />

or that total strangers will come up to you<br />

want to touch you ‘down there’. We get the<br />

idea that something is very peculiar about<br />

the lower area of our bodies. Then, we look<br />

at the statistic that one in three women is<br />

raped in their lifetime <strong>and</strong> about one in four<br />

is sexually abused <strong>and</strong> we can see why there<br />

is a problem around the genitalia. I’ve come<br />

to see that women store their pain around<br />

their g spots (the clitoris has roots that go<br />

from the outer genitalia right into the g<br />

spot—the sacred spot) <strong>and</strong> when you begin<br />

to touch that area, all kinds of emotions can<br />

come up. But when you get through that,<br />

by breathing <strong>and</strong> breaking up adhesions, or<br />

whatever needs to be done, then you can get<br />

in touch with bliss beyond anything you can<br />

imagine, because—the lower genital tract<br />

<strong>and</strong> the pelvic floor are the seat of life force.<br />

You can’t have a maximally luscious life if<br />

you cut yourself off from the waist down.<br />

This is the biological center for birth <strong>and</strong><br />

creativity. Sexual energy is what created our<br />

bodies. That’s why sex sells. We hear about<br />

sex <strong>and</strong> our bodies wake up! This is what<br />

created our bodies – no wonder we are interested<br />

in it! You can actually devote orgasmic<br />

energy to the creation of whatever you want<br />

(a new job, a book, or the bettering of your<br />

relationship.) Let me be clear about this; I<br />

am a monogamous heterosexual woman.<br />

What I know about women is that most require<br />

a monogamous relationship in which<br />

they feel safe. That creates a solid ‘container’<br />

for sexual energy. My approach is this; to feel<br />

more <strong>and</strong> more <strong>and</strong> more with less <strong>and</strong> less<br />

<strong>and</strong> less stimulation…to be in direct contact<br />

with life force; plants, trees, the air. We are<br />

sexual beings; that’s what we are! I am very<br />

interested in sexual energy for a dynamic<br />

force for good in the world.<br />

TA: You have talked about mammography<br />

vs. thermography. Why don’t more people<br />

know about thermography <strong>and</strong> why do<br />

you believe it is a good method for breast<br />

screening?<br />

CN: Mammography is a static x-ray type<br />

of technology, whereas thermography is<br />

a more functional test. What I like about<br />

thermography is that it measures heat in the<br />

body with a camera. There is no down side;<br />

no side effects. And it can detect a potential<br />

issue before it becomes ominous; giving you<br />

time to implement a program to turn things<br />

around (changes in diet, nutrition <strong>and</strong> exercise),<br />

before you get a cancer diagnosis. Statistically,<br />

40% of women who die in car accidents<br />

in their 40’s have some abnormality<br />

in their breast <strong>and</strong> the majority will never<br />

become invasive cancer. It’s something you<br />

will die with instead of die from. The new<br />

high resolution mammograms are unfortunately<br />

picking up too much ductal carcinoma<br />

in situ (DCIS) <strong>and</strong> telling women that<br />

they have breast cancer. And so there is great<br />

over treatment only because no one knows<br />

what else to do. That’s<br />

why I like thermography;<br />

but it’s not an established<br />

technology<br />

in most medical centers<br />

– yet. The cost<br />

of an annual mammogram<br />

<strong>and</strong> having<br />

it read is very profitable<br />

for the providers.<br />

Any diagnostic<br />

medical test that’s<br />

making huge amounts of<br />

money is going to work hard to own the<br />

<strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010 21


modality <strong>and</strong> there are going to be struggles for any competitive<br />

test to make inroads. It hasn’t gotten a foothold yet because of the<br />

economics.<br />

TA: Could you describe the difference between healing <strong>and</strong><br />

curing as you so eloquently wrote about in the first edition of<br />

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom?<br />

CN: Curing is what we expect drugs <strong>and</strong> surgery to do. So let’s<br />

say that you have chronic pelvic pain <strong>and</strong> you remove the uterus<br />

<strong>and</strong> the pain goes away. So you have ‘cured’ the chronic pelvic<br />

pain. You have not healed it. Because to heal it, you must go back<br />

<strong>and</strong> acknowledge the emotions, the pain, the feelings associated<br />

with chronic pelvic pain. Healing something is seeing the fullness<br />

of what it is caused by <strong>and</strong> then releasing it at the cellular level.<br />

You can give medication to mask symptoms <strong>and</strong> you can do surgery<br />

<strong>and</strong> remove things, but these do not ‘heal’ anything. I like to<br />

use medicine <strong>and</strong>/or surgery <strong>and</strong> emotional work together- which<br />

achieves curing <strong>and</strong> healing at the same time. So let’s say that<br />

you’re having surgery for a huge ovarian cyst (as a friend of mine<br />

did). She did a huge amount of healing around her relationship<br />

with her father; had a whole ceremony around going into surgery<br />

<strong>and</strong> released the ovary. When she came out on the other end, she<br />

was completely healed <strong>and</strong> cured!<br />

TA: Dr. Northrup, here is one more of my favorite quotes of<br />

yours. Can you speak to it?<br />

CN: “Adequate is not optimal.” That comes very specifically<br />

from the Vitamin D research. There are many other nutrients for<br />

which we could say the same thing. When people look at the RDA<br />

(recommended daily allowance for a nutrient) what you are looking<br />

at is a figure that the government determined that would prevent<br />

a gross deficiency disease. So if you take 400 IU of vitamin D<br />

(which has been the RDA for years), you will not get rickets, but<br />

you will not have high enough levels to have optimal health; nor<br />

would your immunity be strong enough to prevent breast or bowel<br />

cancer or interact with heart health. So when you look at optimal<br />

for Vitamin D, it’s looking like the amount you need to take is<br />

5000 IU daily. The new discussion for nutrition is optimal instead<br />

of adequate nutrition. We have moved from the idea from preventing<br />

deficiencies to what would be truly ideal, not just getting by.<br />

TA: Dr. Northrup, is there anything else that you would like<br />

my readers to know about?<br />

CN: The only other thing is my Facebook fan page. I love posting<br />

my most current ideas there. It’s a really fun place for me to have a<br />

temperature check with what’s going on; what people are thinking<br />

<strong>and</strong> so on. My page is facebook/drchristianenorthrup.<br />

Looking for a Portal<br />

to the Divine?<br />

You’re already st<strong>and</strong>ing in it, Part I<br />

By Jennifer Vaitkus, White Horse<br />

Recently, I was in Engl<strong>and</strong> on a Sacred Sites Tour <strong>and</strong><br />

one of our stops was of course, Stonehenge. This tour<br />

focused on feeling the energy of the sacred sites. Our own<br />

Spirit Guides also shared information about the sites. According<br />

to one Guide, Stonehenge was one of the planet’s many<br />

Portals, an energetic doorway into this dimension.<br />

Information from my guide, Sophia came through <strong>and</strong> she<br />

said that while Stonehenge is indeed a portal, the most powerful<br />

portals of all were our very own bodies. At that moment I<br />

knew I needed to know more <strong>and</strong> that it would turn out to be<br />

an important theme in my life.<br />

In a later meditation, Sophia began with saying that the human<br />

body is EXTREMELY powerful beyond what we now<br />

know. But before we underst<strong>and</strong> the potential of our bodies,<br />

we must reclaim them. We must be present in our bodies <strong>and</strong><br />

know that our physicality is Divine, in ALL forms. Many of<br />

us reject our bodies by continuously finding fault with them;<br />

they are “not strong enough”, “not healthy enough”, “always in<br />

pain”, “not attractive enough”, etc. Many of us are constantly<br />

operating from our minds <strong>and</strong> go for hours forgetting that our<br />

bodies exist. Some of us are so detached from our bodies that<br />

hours become years.<br />

If the first step to underst<strong>and</strong>ing the power of the human<br />

body is to reclaim it <strong>and</strong> be present in it, what can you do to<br />

facilitate this? Take time to listen <strong>and</strong> your body WILL tell you<br />

what it needs. I know that through dance, I am in my body <strong>and</strong><br />

know my Divinity.<br />

Next time, I’ll continue with what I’ve learned from Goddess<br />

Sophia about the unseen power of our human bodies <strong>and</strong> where<br />

they can take us. Until then, begin to renew your relationship<br />

with your own incredibly powerful <strong>and</strong> beautiful body.<br />

Amazing Results from Users of<br />

Breakthrough Anti-Inflammatory<br />

By Sunil Pai, MD – Integrative Medicine<br />

Bosmeric-SR TM available now at Sanjevani Integrative Medicine<br />

Health & Lifestyle Center — www.bosmeric-sr.com<br />

Since the last article about the development <strong>and</strong> launch of<br />

Bosmeric-SR, the strongest natural anti-inflammatory<br />

available worldwide, Sanjevani Health & Lifestyle Center<br />

has had overwhelming success with our patients <strong>and</strong><br />

clients using the product. Following is some of the feedback we<br />

have received.<br />

The experience of a brain tumor patient, who after surgery<br />

was wheelchair bound <strong>and</strong> unable to walk on her own: After 8<br />

weeks of treatment with Bosmeric-SR along with our other treatment<br />

protocols, this patient is now walking unassisted. As clinical studies<br />

have shown (available in the research section of Bosmeric-SR.com),<br />

the patented extract of Curcumin C3 Complex <strong>and</strong> Boswellin Super<br />

reduce brain tumors <strong>and</strong> decrease the growth of cancers through its antiinfl<br />

ammatory effects. Bosmeric-SR is great post-surgical procedure, also<br />

following radiation <strong>and</strong> even chemotherapy.<br />

A 50 year old marathon runner who was experiencing<br />

increasing painful muscle cramping <strong>and</strong> joint pain after races<br />

experience: This patient started taking higher doses of acetaminophen<br />

(Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin) <strong>and</strong> naproxen (Aleve) without relief. She<br />

also started to experience severe stomach upset. She was concerned about<br />

the possible side effects of these drugs. We suggested she take 2 caplets of<br />

Bosmeric-SR twice daily after races <strong>and</strong> during pre-race training. She<br />

had relief immediately on the first day <strong>and</strong> then began using it daily.<br />

She can now compete without pain <strong>and</strong> her performance has greatly<br />

improved. She was so happy about her results that she has taken the<br />

Bosmeric-SR to her running club to share with her friends. She has also<br />

suggested it to her sister who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.<br />

Unlike acetaminophen (Tylenol) that can cause liver problems;<br />

ibuprofen (Motrin) that can cause stomach <strong>and</strong> kidney problems <strong>and</strong><br />

aspirin that can cause GI bleeding; naproxen (Aleve) that can cause<br />

heart attack, GI bleeding <strong>and</strong> stroke (without any prior symptoms<br />

or use of the product), Bosmeric-SR has NO SIDE EFFECTS. In<br />

fact, it has a gastro-protective effect due to the clinical dose of 35%<br />

gingerols (35 mg). This protects the stomach for ulcer, gastritis <strong>and</strong><br />

other irritation <strong>and</strong> helps those who have nausea or stomach upset.<br />

Furthermore, Bosmeric-SR is the only natural anti-inflammatory<br />

that is delivered in a sustained-release caplet to provide benefits up to<br />

8 hours. Fewer caplets provide longer relief <strong>and</strong> is safer for your health.<br />

The experience of a 60 year old store manager who fell off a<br />

ladder <strong>and</strong> injured his lower back, hips <strong>and</strong> legs: This gentleman<br />

was experiencing swelling, bruising <strong>and</strong> pain in the lower back, hips<br />

<strong>and</strong> legs <strong>and</strong> was opposed to taking pharmaceutical pain pills which<br />

just mask the body’s perception of pain but have no healing effects. He<br />

felt the effects of Bosmeric-SR immediately <strong>and</strong> was able to return to<br />

work sooner than he expected. He was so impressed that he comes in<br />

regularly to buy Bosmeric-SR for his friends <strong>and</strong> co-workers who are<br />

experiencing pain.<br />

The experience shared by a 40 year old female from a small<br />

town in Texas with painful periods <strong>and</strong> excessive bleeding due<br />

to fibroids <strong>and</strong> migraine headaches: This patient was prescribed a<br />

contraceptive pill that would regulate her menstrual cycle to 4 times<br />

a year along with prescription pain medications. After 1 year without<br />

relief of symptoms <strong>and</strong> an increase in fibroids, weight gain <strong>and</strong><br />

worsening migraine headaches she came to Sanjevani for help. During<br />

her consultation, she had extreme pain <strong>and</strong> heavy bleeding <strong>and</strong> was<br />

given 2 caplets of Bosmeric-SR. Within 2 hours, her menstrual fl ow<br />

decreased to spotting <strong>and</strong> her pain completely disappeared, including<br />

her migraine. This was her first experience using natural medicines <strong>and</strong><br />

since then she has been an enthusiastic advocate. In fact, she quit her job<br />

as a waitress <strong>and</strong> went to work at her local health food store.<br />

Bosmeric-SR is available at Sanjevani Integrative Health & Lifestyle<br />

Center, 7920 Wyoming Blvd NE, Suite B, Albuquerque 505-821-6300,<br />

Empower Yourself Now!<br />

Learn to Channel<br />

By Betsy-Morgan Coffman<br />

For 21 years, I have been teaching people from all walks<br />

of life to embrace what’s natural about us. That would be our<br />

innate ability to “just know the truth”. Eventually the truth<br />

will surface. So, why wait? Empower <strong>and</strong> free yourself today.<br />

Learn to Channel!<br />

What’s the difference in channeling <strong>and</strong> being psychic?<br />

When you channel, you connect to guides or angels from higher<br />

dimensions that love you <strong>and</strong> feed you Universal information.<br />

When you are psychic, you connect to your own inner<br />

wisdom through clairvoyance, telepathy, clairsentience, or clairaudience.<br />

I like to refer to these 2 terms this way. Being “psychic”<br />

is ordering in, <strong>and</strong> doing “channeling” is ordering out!<br />

Which way will I learn when I take classes from you?<br />

BOTH! When you learn how to channel using the Orion<br />

Technology, your 7th chakra at the top of your head will open.<br />

Then, Orion actually lifts your energy to connect you to your<br />

personal channeling <strong>and</strong> healing guides.<br />

As their energy moves through your chakras, your chakras<br />

are re-awakened to their natural abilities <strong>and</strong> your innate gifts<br />

are restored. It’s very normal, very easy, <strong>and</strong> so comfortable!<br />

Will I be able to do predictions for others <strong>and</strong> myself?<br />

YES! However, please be advised that some high level guides<br />

don’t do predictions. They prefer to offer options <strong>and</strong> guidance,<br />

<strong>and</strong> encourage the individual towards what is for their highest<br />

good…explaining the lessons they are learning <strong>and</strong> why. If it is<br />

available information, predictions are easy to receive.<br />

Can you teach me how to be a medium? YES! This may<br />

surprise some to hear this, but channeling is very similar to mediumship.<br />

Being a medium, one talks to people who are in heaven,<br />

or in their afterlife experience. Being a channel, one talks to<br />

Spirits who are having their own higher dimensional experience.<br />

Once you channel, you will see that it is not that different or<br />

difficult. Some of my favorite experiences are seeing people tearup<br />

as they reconnect with <strong>and</strong> speak messages of love from their<br />

family members in heaven on the first day of class!<br />

Is there a way that I can experience what you do as a<br />

channel before investing my time <strong>and</strong> money? YES! I am offering<br />

something new called “The 12 Mondays before Christmas”<br />

program where you can meet me <strong>and</strong> listen to me channel. You<br />

may ask a question that will be answered through channeling.<br />

Each Monday experience costs only $10 <strong>and</strong> lasts just over an<br />

hour. You can also call me at 505-275-4746 or email me at<br />

AskBetsyMorgan@Yahoo.com for more information.<br />

Is there a way I can hear you channel from the comfort<br />

of my own home <strong>and</strong> for free? YES! Tune into my radio show,<br />

“Betsy-Morgan Channels Live” every Monday, Wednesday, <strong>and</strong><br />

Friday at 10am. It’s a blog talk station called Sedona Talk<br />

Radio. You can listen from your phone <strong>and</strong> call in with<br />

questions <strong>and</strong> receive free answers live <strong>and</strong> on the air at:<br />

347-994-2091.<br />

Hundreds of channels have successfully trained with me using<br />

the safe <strong>and</strong> effective Orion Technology…<strong>and</strong> I can train you, too!<br />

– All it takes is one fun-filled <strong>and</strong> life-altering weekend. If you<br />

have ever considered learning, if you have ever wondered if you<br />

could be psychic,<br />

Join Me Now! Saturday <strong>and</strong> Sunday – October 16th<br />

<strong>and</strong> 17th. CALL: 505-275-4746<br />

Is there a way my friends in other states can explore<br />

channeling before signing up for a class? YES! Once a<br />

month I host a teleconference (telephone) class where people<br />

learn about channeling, meet one of their guides <strong>and</strong> receive<br />

a message of love. For only $20, anyone living anywhere can<br />

experience my INTRODUCTION TO CHANNELING.<br />

Bosom Buddy<br />

By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM<br />

Dr. Christiane Northrup laughingly says that we have<br />

been taught to think of our breasts as “two pre-cancerous<br />

lesions”. It’s humorous because there is truth in her<br />

statement. We’ve been taught to expect our breasts to betray us.<br />

They need to be held up in a wired sling in order to be attractive.<br />

They sag on us, the minute we age beyond our teens. They are tender<br />

<strong>and</strong> uncomfortable at least once a month for years <strong>and</strong> they<br />

have more than 300 names that have nothing to do with their<br />

function: ta-tas, hooters, knockers, melons….the list goes on.<br />

As this issue of <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> is on the shelves, we will be reminded<br />

on a daily basis that October is “Breast Cancer Awareness”<br />

month—not “Breast Health Awareness” month. We’ve been so<br />

busy “racing for a cure”, for the past 30 years; that we haven’t<br />

taken time to learn about a breast screening tool that is able to<br />

detect suspicious changes at a very early stage, before there is need<br />

for “a cure”.<br />

Thermography is our “bosom buddy”. It measures the heat<br />

given off by our breasts/ body without “squishing or radiation”.<br />

Heat patterns vary with increased cellular inflammation which<br />

can indicate the beginning of cancer. Using thermography, we<br />

can do something about inflammation years before it becomes a<br />

disease. And, women are happy to have a painless, radiation-free<br />

screening that allows them to be pro-active in their health. A color<br />

image of your breasts makes it easy to see areas of inflammation<br />

(which can be improved with breast massage, exercise <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

reduced caffeine intake).<br />

The five views<br />

that are used in<br />

thermographic<br />

breast screening.<br />

In Dr. Northrup’s PBS special she says that thermography will<br />

become mainstream within the decade. She is usually right.<br />

“Earthing” the Most Important<br />

Health Discovery Ever?<br />

By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM<br />

The Earth has a limitless supply of negatively charged free<br />

electrons that neutralize positively charged free radicals.<br />

Free radicals are the “little buggers” that cause tissue<br />

damage <strong>and</strong> inflammation in our bodies. Chronic inflammation<br />

has been identified as the cause of many diseases; such as diabetes,<br />

cancer, autoimmune disorders <strong>and</strong> cardiovascular disorders.<br />

“Earthing” involves making direct contact with the Earth<br />

allowing electrons to flow from the ground into the conductive<br />

human body to neutralize free radicals, <strong>and</strong> reduce inflammation.<br />

Connecting to the Earth’s energy is as simple as walking barefoot,<br />

sitting/ lying down on the earth, or through conductive devices<br />

that deliver the healing energy of grounding into our bodies.<br />

Conductive devices enable you to ab-<br />

sorb the Earth’s energy inside your home<br />

or office. They conduct the Earth’s energy<br />

through the ground port of a properly<br />

grounded outlet or from a ground rod<br />

placed directly in the ground <strong>and</strong> send it<br />

to a conductive Earthing mat, pad or sheet specifically designed for<br />

human grounding. Earthing products conduct the actual frequencies<br />

of the Earth without any simulation.<br />

Numerous health benefits from grounding while sleeping at<br />

night include:<br />

• Decrease in infl ammation that reduces physical symptoms<br />

• Reduction or elimination of chronic pain<br />

• Improved sleep <strong>and</strong> reduction of sleep-apnea<br />

• Increased energy<br />

• Decrease in stress <strong>and</strong> stress hormones, leading to less anxiety<br />

• Thins blood <strong>and</strong> improves blood pressure <strong>and</strong> fl ow<br />

• Relief of muscle tension <strong>and</strong> headaches<br />

• Fewer hormonal <strong>and</strong> menstrual symptoms<br />

• Faster wound healing <strong>and</strong> prevention of bedsores<br />

Tap into the unlimited healing powers of the Earth’s energy by getting<br />

grounded. For more information or to purchase an Earthing device – call<br />

Upper Respiratory Distress<br />

Got You Down?<br />

By Carol McGlauchlin, DOM<br />

Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Are you coping with<br />

asthma symptoms or wheezing with exercise? How about<br />

tendencies to get chronic bronchitis or sinus infections – do these<br />

plague you? Good news! These issues can be treated effectively<br />

with Chinese medicine <strong>and</strong> Frequency Specific Microcurrent.<br />

Cupping works particularly well to relieve a variety of upper<br />

respiratory symptoms. Cupping involves the placement of glass<br />

cups on the skin in order to create suction. In Chinese medical<br />

theory, the suction helps to clear out stagnation <strong>and</strong> toxins in<br />

the area. For upper respiratory conditions, the cups are usually<br />

placed on the upper back. Regular treatments with cupping alone<br />

for kids with asthma or severe allergies can help to reduce their<br />

medications, <strong>and</strong> the good news is – no needles are involved!<br />

On the other h<strong>and</strong>, acupuncture has worked very well to help<br />

my patients with seasonal allergies to manage their symptoms<br />

during the various allergy seasons. Regular treatments during<br />

the symptom period work best for optimal results. With chronic<br />

upper respiratory disorders such as sinus infections, bronchitis<br />

<strong>and</strong> asthma, acupuncture can treat both the acute symptoms<br />

<strong>and</strong> the underlying constitutional factors that combine to cause<br />

the recurring symptoms. However, one common sense caveat is<br />

that a medical doctor should be consulted for serious disorders<br />

such as pneumonia or asthma. There are times when drugs are<br />

appropriate, <strong>and</strong> a medical doctor (preferably an integrative<br />

doctor – a physician who underst<strong>and</strong>s natural medicine as well as<br />

pharmaceuticals) can be of great benefit.<br />

Another treatment modality that can help with upper<br />

respiratory disorders is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM).<br />

FSM uses electromagnetic energy in specific frequencies that<br />

match the vibrations of specific tissues <strong>and</strong> specific disease<br />

conditions in the body. An FSM program will run through a<br />

series of frequencies to address the various aspects of a disorder.<br />

For example, asthma involves inflammation <strong>and</strong> spasm in the<br />

bronchi. The FSM program for asthma includes frequencies<br />

for muscle spasms, inflammation <strong>and</strong> allergies (histamine) in<br />

the bronchi, as well as inflammation in the immune system as a<br />

whole, <strong>and</strong> finishes with “restoring vitality” in the bronchi.<br />

There are also a variety of herbal formulas that can help reduce<br />

symptoms <strong>and</strong> support balance in the constitutional factors in the<br />

body. When a patient has a tendency toward chronic disorders,<br />

it is important to address the underlying constitutional factors to<br />

help prevent future symptoms.<br />

Relief is but a phone call or email away! Call or email me today for<br />

a free consultation. I’m happy to answer your questions <strong>and</strong> help<br />

you determine if any of these modalities can help relieve your upper<br />

respiratory issues: Carol McGlauchlin, D.O.M, 505-550-8148.<br />

Wondering where you fit in with the Earth changes?<br />

Know you need a change <strong>and</strong> tired of putting it off?<br />

Cold <strong>and</strong> Flu Season...<br />

No More Worries!<br />

By Sophia Trezza, DOM<br />

Snowflakes<br />

By Charlene Lewis, CH, CWK, CQT<br />

If you want to fi nd the secrets of the Universe, think in terms<br />

of Energy, Frequency <strong>and</strong> Vibration. – Dr. Nikola Tesla<br />

No one likes Cold <strong>and</strong> Flu season, but it’s inescapable. What<br />

if you could ZAP those pesky viruses with a little energy at specific<br />

frequencies? Well, you can!!!<br />

How you ask? With the WellnessPro! It literally destroys,<br />

using electro medical (frequency) technology, the illnesscausing<br />

“bugs” <strong>and</strong> aids the body in returning to its natural<br />

state of well being. The WellnessPro excels at addressing a<br />

wide range of viral, bacterial <strong>and</strong> fungal issues associated with<br />

colds <strong>and</strong> fl u. In fact, the WellnessPro is pre-loaded with 7<br />

programs, each with multiple precise frequencies, targeted at<br />

colds <strong>and</strong> fl u, as well as other programs that combat related<br />

symptoms like sore throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion,<br />

headache, fever, body aches, etc.<br />

My clients have reported signifi cantly shortened cold/fl u<br />

durations, <strong>and</strong> my own daughter successfully counteracted<br />

clinically diagnosed H1N1—all with the use of the<br />

WellnessPro.<br />

This device, the #1 choice of health care professionals, offers<br />

a non-invasive, non-toxic, safe <strong>and</strong> effective alternative to<br />

drug therapies. The WellnessPro mimics the natural electrical<br />

stimuli inside us that assist bodily functions, including those<br />

needed for healing <strong>and</strong> health.<br />

No matter the extent of your health challenge, I do my best<br />

to provide personalized <strong>and</strong> caring treatments. Be it a simple<br />

cold or a troublesome bout of the flu, I will work with you to<br />

fi nd the WellnessPro answer that is right for you!<br />

WellnessPro—Returning health <strong>and</strong> wellness to every<br />

aspect of your life!<br />

Whether you are a practitioner caring for others, or you are your<br />

own advocate for good health, come see me, Dr. Sophia Trezza,<br />

DOM at Suncenter Medical Offices, a Complementary Medicine<br />

Clinic, to experience the WellnessPro for yourself. The possibilities<br />

are endless!<br />

You might be wondering what the title “Snowflakes” is<br />

all about. Once when writing an article describing what<br />

I do, I compared my clients to snowflakes. They are all<br />

beautiful, yet unique in their own ways. They come to me<br />

for various reasons; sometimes physical, sometimes emotional,<br />

sometimes spiritual <strong>and</strong> often a mixture.<br />

Everyone is different <strong>and</strong> everyone responds to different<br />

therapies so it is important to be able to offer a variety of<br />

alternative healing methods. I really wanted to be able to truly<br />

cover ALL aspects of a person’s health, i.e.; Body, Mind <strong>and</strong><br />

Spirit. Following is a list of some of the therapies that I use:<br />

1. Holistic Kinesiology<br />

2. Natural hormone therapy<br />

3. Hypnotherapy <strong>and</strong> guided relaxation techniques<br />

4. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)<br />

5. Light <strong>and</strong> sound therapy<br />

6. Essential oils / Flower essences<br />

7. Crystal healing<br />

8. Chakra <strong>and</strong> meridian balancing<br />

9. Energy <strong>and</strong> auric field cleansing<br />

10. Quantum Touch h<strong>and</strong>s-on healing technique<br />

Because I am empathic, when a client comes in for an<br />

appointment, I can generally feel what therapies they need.<br />

Sometimes they come in for herbal/nutritional programs for<br />

various physical issues but more often they end up needing<br />

emotional help as well. Guided relaxation, hypnotherapy <strong>and</strong>/<br />

or energy work help to release emotional blocks caused by old<br />

hurts <strong>and</strong> traumas as well as negative <strong>and</strong> limiting beliefs.<br />

I also see many clients who are sincerely trying to walk a<br />

spiritual path <strong>and</strong> to be as clear as they can be on their journeys.<br />

Guided relaxation, light <strong>and</strong> sound therapy <strong>and</strong> chakra<br />

balancing are very supportive for that. I also use energy healing<br />

to clear out old negative Karma that may be blocking their<br />

spiritual path <strong>and</strong> also to help release emotional blocks.<br />

healthier <strong>and</strong> happier call now for a FREE consultation.<br />

Disaster or Opportunity?<br />

By Tina Gibson, RScP, Licensed Spiritual Counselor<br />

Mom, you won’t believe what has happened!”<br />

My son’s voice on the other end of the phone<br />

caught me off guard, <strong>and</strong> I braced myself. I’d<br />

heard that panicked sound before. “The huge<br />

metal patio cover…it’s in the neighbor’s yard—<strong>and</strong> electrical<br />

wires…dangling in the backyard.” These were not the words I<br />

was hoping to hear after an intense workday, but sure enough,<br />

last April’s winds devastated our yard, roof, <strong>and</strong> electrical<br />

wiring.<br />

“Why is this happening to me?” I heard my victim voice<br />

say. “Why me? Why now?” I repeated the question, internally,<br />

<strong>and</strong> in those first moments, I knew I had a choice. My internal<br />

dialogue teetered back <strong>and</strong> forth. This is an example of the very<br />

thing you teach, Tina. (Yes, I was talking to myself). You’ve got<br />

to walk your talk… <strong>and</strong> NOW! I took a deep breath <strong>and</strong> slowly<br />

changed my tune. Amazingly, the same words came to me but<br />

with different thoughts behind them. “Why is this happening<br />

to me?” I asked. I chose my words carefully; Let me see this<br />

situation differently. Let me see this situation not as a disaster but<br />

as an opportunity… as a blessing in disguise.<br />

Metaphysical teachings tell us “It is all Good; everything<br />

is in order,” but then when something goes ‘wrong’, we<br />

wonder what has happened. We hear phrases like, “Change<br />

your thinking; change your life,” <strong>and</strong> then when ‘bad’ things<br />

happen; we mentally beat ourselves up because somehow our<br />

thinking was ‘wrong’ because we created a mess instead, or so<br />

we have labeled it as such.<br />

Fault lies not in human beings but rather in how human<br />

beings have learned to judge themselves <strong>and</strong> life situations. We<br />

could all get together in one room <strong>and</strong> make two lists: things<br />

that are bad <strong>and</strong> things that are good. For the most part, we<br />

would all agree on the lists. But I would like to suggest that<br />

the destruction of my home be on the “good” list, <strong>and</strong> there<br />

would be nothing on the ‘bad’ list. I would like to suggest<br />

that loss of job, security, relationship, <strong>and</strong> even life, be on<br />

the ‘good’ list because when we open ourselves enough to<br />

intuit a bigger picture, a picture which includes other eternal<br />

dimensions, beings, <strong>and</strong> life, there may be situations we do<br />

not underst<strong>and</strong> with our human minds, but there is nothing<br />

that we experience that is not for our best <strong>and</strong> highest good.<br />

The reason I suffer when a ‘bad’ thing comes to pass is<br />

because I have decided it is ‘bad’, <strong>and</strong> I refuse to let go of that<br />

decision. Things are not going my way; my life stinks…but only<br />

because I’m attached to life being a certain way, the way I<br />

learned it was supposed to be when I was growing up, the way<br />

I have judged ‘right’.<br />

These days, humans are experiencing many changes which<br />

are happening quickly. I believe we are being called to let<br />

go of our attachments, including judgments, beliefs, things,<br />

<strong>and</strong> people in order to ride with the flow of change. We are<br />

being called to surrender to our Wholeness, accept ourselves<br />

completely, <strong>and</strong> live fully on the planet…without judgment.<br />

Seeing good in everything <strong>and</strong> everyone is expansive.<br />

Resistance is what causes pain.<br />

The money received from my insurance company, along<br />

with monies from an unexpected second income source<br />

(another blessing), allowed me to renovate more than my<br />

backyard. Two bathrooms <strong>and</strong> kitchen have been revamped as<br />

well. And just like my remodeled kitchen, sometimes we have<br />

to go through the torn up stages before the new, remodeled<br />

‘good’ shows its face. Sometimes the blessings take time to see.<br />

If you have stories – disguised blessings, letting go of attachments,<br />

dealing with changes – <strong>and</strong> would like to share, as I take<br />

more advanced steps towards finishing a book, I’m turning to<br />

others for personal testimonies. Please let me hear yours.<br />

One-on-one<br />

intuitive counseling<br />

& guidance from<br />

the angelic realms<br />

Are you ready to<br />

live in this power,<br />

which is the Truth<br />

of who you are?<br />

• Learn to create your life<br />

joyfully, with powerful,<br />

conscious intent<br />

• Discover how to really love<br />

yourself; eliminate judgment<br />

& live life to its fullest<br />

• Experience increased health<br />

& abundance, profound<br />

relationship changes, more<br />

ease & happiness in your life<br />

Do You Know What Is In<br />

Your Water?<br />

By George Keanna, DDS<br />

The New Mexico Environmental Department<br />

(NMED) <strong>and</strong> the New Mexico Department of<br />

Health (DOH) worked together since 2006 to<br />

develop a “Mercury Reduction Plan” for New<br />

Mexico. This House Memorial 13 recommended the following<br />

to limit public <strong>and</strong> environmental mercury exposure from the<br />

Dental Profession;<br />

Avoid use of dental mercury amalgam in<br />

vulnerable patients in the following ways:<br />

1. Avoid placing, removing or polishing amalgam in the teeth<br />

of pregnant women, or women who may become pregnant,<br />

as the developing brain of the fetus is the most sensitive<br />

receptor to mercury toxicity;<br />

2. Avoid using mercury to restore children’s teeth as their developing<br />

central nervous systems are particularly susceptible<br />

to mercury impairment;<br />

3. Avoid using mercury in other vulnerable patients including<br />

those with kidney disease, central nervous system disorders,<br />

autoimmune disorders, <strong>and</strong> allergic/chemical hypersensitivity,<br />

<strong>and</strong> breastfeeding women; <strong>and</strong><br />

4. Avoid placing amalgam in patients with other kinds of<br />

metal surfaces in their mouths.<br />

Minimize exposures to airborne mercury<br />

in dental offices.<br />

1. Promote the use of methods <strong>and</strong> equipment to reduce the<br />

exposure to mercury vapor in dental patients <strong>and</strong> staff; <strong>and</strong><br />

2. Inform dental practitioners of the health <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />

risks of mercury exposure...<br />

...All forms of mercury are toxic. All sources of mercury<br />

exposure are cause for concern. Mercury affects the human<br />

brain, kidneys, liver <strong>and</strong> cardiovascular system. Because mercury<br />

impairs the development of the brain <strong>and</strong> nervous system,<br />

unborn <strong>and</strong> young children are particularly sensitive to<br />

mercury toxicity. In adults, mercury can cause nervous system<br />

problems <strong>and</strong> have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system….”<br />

(http://www.nmenv.state.nm.us/Special/MercuryTF-ReportFinal_11_27_06.pdf)<br />

It took four years to happen, but on July 1st, 2010 New<br />

Mexico joined the growing ranks of states that m<strong>and</strong>ate that<br />

dental offices have mercury separators systems attached to<br />

their water filtration systems.<br />

...Amalgam particles enter the wastewater from dental<br />

offices when dentists remove old amalgam fillings or place<br />

new fillings. What most in the dental community do not<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> is what actually happens to the amalgam/mercury<br />

they discharge, which ends up in the sludge at the sewage<br />

treatment plant. Any amalgam/mercury (or other hazardous<br />

waste) received at the sewage treatment plant is either<br />

incinerated, l<strong>and</strong>-filled, or made into fertilizer pellets, which<br />

are l<strong>and</strong>-applied on lawns <strong>and</strong> gardens <strong>and</strong> sold to farmers<br />

for their crops. In every case of disposal, the mercury in the<br />

amalgam will be discharged to the environment. According<br />

to the ADA, the dental industry uses approximately 35 tons of<br />

amalgam annually. It is estimated that 29.7 tons of mercury in<br />

the form of amalgam are discharged to the internal wastewater<br />

systems of dental facilities annually during amalgam placement<br />

<strong>and</strong> removal—<strong>and</strong> it should be noted that a “mercury-free<br />

dentist” (that is, one who places only non-amalgam fillings) is<br />

not truly mercury-free if he or she removes amalgam fillings<br />

<strong>and</strong> allows that mercury to be discharged down the drain...<br />

(http://dentalaegis.net/Publications/Inside_Dentistry/<br />

article.aspx?id=34857)<br />

These mercury separators can reduce the dumping of<br />

mercury amalgam products back into the public water system<br />

by over 95%. This is only one components of being a ‘mercury<br />

safe’ dentist. There are many other protocols <strong>and</strong> devices that<br />

need to be used to further protect the patient, the staff, <strong>and</strong><br />

the environment.<br />

This task force took notice of the deleterious environmental<br />

effects of mercury. The health effects are still being investigated.<br />

When there is a controversy isn’t it better to err on the side of<br />

the greatest level of safety <strong>and</strong> not wait years to find out that<br />

a material, like mercury amalgams, have deleterious effects in<br />

the human body as well?<br />

Mercury amalgams are not the only source of mercury<br />

exposure to the public <strong>and</strong> the environment.<br />

Even though it took four years to implement, I still applaud<br />

the DOH <strong>and</strong> NMED for bringing public awareness to the<br />

environmental <strong>and</strong> health problems associated with the<br />

varying uses of mercury in our society. Now m<strong>and</strong>ates have to<br />

30 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010


e made for ‘safe’ manipulation of mercury amalgams in the<br />

dental practice as it pertains to the patient, the staff, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

doctor. My next issues will address what we do at our office,<br />

<strong>and</strong> all ‘mercury safe’ dentists do, to protect all parties involved<br />

from the deleterious problems of mercury both in the dental<br />

office <strong>and</strong> outside it. By the way, our office has used a mercury<br />

separator since 2001.<br />

Denying Your Pain<br />

= More Pain Later<br />

By Rory Armstrong, HAT, LMT #5776<br />

A<br />

woman came in for a treatment suffering from lower<br />

back pain. She complained that she hadn’t been able<br />

to sleep through the night for a few weeks <strong>and</strong> awoke<br />

time <strong>and</strong> again with the pain. As a young but heavy woman,<br />

she was concerned about her future health <strong>and</strong> was sitting in<br />

quite a bit of fear.<br />

Instead of getting right into a deep bodywork session, we<br />

started with a Reiki treatment which lasted about 2 hours<br />

long. Some gentle physical movements were integrated here<br />

<strong>and</strong> there <strong>and</strong> the treatment finished with Reiki at the end.<br />

The physical movements brought about pain responses <strong>and</strong><br />

pain sights were revealed, <strong>and</strong> we focused on her goal of<br />

finding <strong>and</strong> releasing the anxiety around sleep.<br />

Reiki is extremely gentle <strong>and</strong> can provide powerful treatment<br />

for those who are sensitive or in crisis mode. Like other<br />

energy treatments, Reiki can assist the client in receiving<br />

new underst<strong>and</strong>ing of what is possible <strong>and</strong> stimulate a shift.<br />

After the fi rst session, she reported that she had slept 15<br />

hours that fi rst night. The next session 10 days later was<br />

about 30 minutes shorter, but showed a consistent response<br />

to treatment. She called <strong>and</strong> scheduled to see me in month;<br />

sharing that her sleeping pattern was more reliable <strong>and</strong> her<br />

dreams had been more vivid.<br />

During our 3rd appointment, I found that her pain<br />

threshold had increased. I asked her what was different in<br />

her life. She replied, “My husb<strong>and</strong> wasn’t as reliable as I had<br />

wanted him to be, so I divorced him! Ever since your first<br />

treatment <strong>and</strong> the divorce, I have slept better <strong>and</strong> have a<br />

confi dent new outlook on life.” I am not advocating that all<br />

of you reading this should dump your spouses! What I hope<br />

to project in spirit is…since we seem to get caught up in<br />

our lives <strong>and</strong> often feel challenged to find comfortable ways<br />

to cope, get some good bodywork/or massage. And don’t<br />

forget to exhale.<br />

Relax While<br />

You Detox!<br />

By Mickey Sutton & Ina Stewart<br />

Why Detoxify?<br />

Detoxification is an essential step in improving your overall<br />

health <strong>and</strong> appearance. When we ingest, inhale <strong>and</strong> consume<br />

toxins (such as alcohol, pollution, processed foods, medications,<br />

etc.), the body’s natural response is to protect the internal organs<br />

by trapping the toxins <strong>and</strong> storing them close to the surface of the<br />

skin, cushioned in water <strong>and</strong> fat cells. The toxins <strong>and</strong> extra water<br />

in our fat cells increase the appearance of dimpling, inches, <strong>and</strong><br />

poor skin tone. The Herbal Body Wrap can help address all of<br />

these areas as the herbs travel in through the pores, trapping the<br />

toxins, <strong>and</strong> encouraging their safe, natural release out of the skin<br />

through the pores.<br />

The 27 herbs in our Body Wraps have many healing<br />

properties <strong>and</strong> our clients’ results have amazed us. While being<br />

totally wrapped in the herbs, they absorb into the lymphatic<br />

system. While results are different for each person, chemicals,<br />

formaldehyde <strong>and</strong> Agent Orange have been diminished. Some<br />

clients have reported emotional <strong>and</strong> spiritual transformations<br />

during the wraps. Come in for your own personal experience.<br />

Footbaths extract toxins naturally, boosting the immune<br />

system to help overcome the tiredness, headaches, colds, arthritis<br />

<strong>and</strong> other ailments brought on by toxins. And the soak soothes<br />

your feet <strong>and</strong> raises your energy level. In warm weather, footbaths<br />

are enjoyed in our covered patio area adorned with many flowers.<br />

Hot Body Wraps <strong>and</strong> Ionic Footbaths are excellent choice<br />

for detoxing, <strong>and</strong> they can be done together or separately. We are<br />

just a leisurely drive to the North Valley away…<br />

You Can Experience the “I AM”<br />

Nature Within You Now!<br />

By Master Stephen Co<br />

The Soul is a spark from the universal flame, which<br />

some call God. God puts forth this portion of Himself,<br />

which then incarnates, or takes a body, in the lower<br />

plane, the earth. As an extension of God, our Soul is<br />

in a state of permanent health, a state of unchanging, prolonged<br />

awareness <strong>and</strong> peace. We may not be consciously aware of it, but<br />

we inherently know that this state of peace resides within us.<br />

As we seek health, success <strong>and</strong> happiness in the physical<br />

world, we are often oblivious to how close true health, success<br />

<strong>and</strong> happiness are, because we don’t look inward. But when<br />

we become aware of the limitations of our physical body <strong>and</strong><br />

the imperfections of the material world—as we must inevitably—our<br />

innate knowledge of this inner state of peace <strong>and</strong><br />

health is stirred.<br />

This is called spiritual restlessness. There are many ways<br />

spiritual restlessness is awakened. It is commonly prompted<br />

by a life crisis, such as a reversal of fortune or tragedy that is<br />

difficult to explain-for example, disastrous material loss or the<br />

death of someone close. It is often felt when we have a premature<br />

brush with mortality ourselves, or when we near the end<br />

of our life <strong>and</strong> seek to put things in order.<br />

Or, we may feel it after we attain our worldly goals-success,<br />

fame, prosperity, or in the case of our focus here, physical<br />

health-<strong>and</strong> then find ourselves wondering if “that’s all there<br />

is.” It may arise simply as a result of exploring physical health<br />

through alternative or esoteric practices, as you are doing with<br />

this book. Or, it may be awakened naturally in those who are<br />

particularly sensitive or spiritually developed.<br />

Regardless of how we come to this awareness, we all have<br />

within us this intrinsic need to “return to the source,” to have<br />

contact with our Soul to access that inner peace <strong>and</strong> health.<br />

Below is a powerful meditation that will allow you to<br />

experience a glimpse of your Soul’s Divine Nature<br />

1. Sit down in a darkened room, close your eyes, <strong>and</strong> go<br />

through your physical relaxation routine. Perform seven<br />

cycles of pranic (slow <strong>and</strong> deep diaphragmatic) breathing.<br />

Be aware of your whole body.<br />

2. Put your attention on your feet <strong>and</strong> legs for several seconds.<br />

Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel them<br />

disappear.<br />

3. Put your attention on your waist, chest, <strong>and</strong> torso for several<br />

seconds. Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel<br />

them disappear.<br />

4. Put your attention on your h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> arms for several<br />

seconds. Continue pranic breathing, then see <strong>and</strong> feel them<br />

disappear.<br />

5. Put your attention on your head for several seconds.<br />

Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel your head<br />

disappear.<br />

6. Perform several cycles of pranic breathing as you are aware<br />

of your body “not being there.”<br />

7. Silently say, “I AM not the body; I exist independently of the<br />

body.” Be still for about 30 seconds.<br />

8. Visualize a reddish-pink silhouette or outline of your<br />

physical body around 6 ft. above the ground.<br />

9. Silently say, “This is my emotional body. It contains all<br />

emotions that I have ever created or experienced. It allows me<br />

to feel <strong>and</strong> experience emotions <strong>and</strong> feelings, but it is not me!”<br />

10. See it fading <strong>and</strong> vaporizing into nothingness.<br />

11. Silently say, “I AM not the body, I AM not the emotions. I<br />

exist independently of the physical <strong>and</strong> emotional bodies.” Be<br />

still for about 30 seconds.<br />

12. Visualize a bluish-yellowish silhouette or outline of your<br />

physical body 6 ft. above the ground.<br />

13. Silently say, “This is my mental body. It contains all thoughts<br />

that I have ever created or experienced. It allows me to think<br />

<strong>and</strong> experience thoughts <strong>and</strong> ideas, but it is not me!”<br />

14. See it fading <strong>and</strong> vaporizing into nothingness.<br />

15. Silently say, “I AM not the body, I AM not the emotions, nor<br />

the thoughts. I exist independently of the physical, emotional,<br />

<strong>and</strong> mental bodies.” Be still for about 30 seconds.<br />

16. Silently say, “I AM not the body; the body is a vehicle of the<br />

Soul. I AM not my emotions or my thoughts; they are just<br />

products of the Soul. I AM not even the mind. The mind is the<br />

just the instrument of the Soul. I AM the Soul! I AM a being<br />

of Divine Intelligence, Divine Love, <strong>and</strong> Divine Power. I AM<br />

connected to God. I AM one with God. I AM one with All. I<br />

AM the Soul!” Be still for three to five minutes <strong>and</strong> simply<br />

let go.<br />

17. Slowly open your eyes, take several pranic breaths, <strong>and</strong><br />

stretch.<br />

As you perform this exercise, you will experience inner<br />

stillness, peace <strong>and</strong> extreme mental clarity. Practice this meditation<br />

everyday especially when you are going through physical<br />

or psychological crises. It will infuse your entire being<br />

with Divine Love, Light <strong>and</strong> Power!<br />

Blissful Spirits Hot Yoga Studio does not exactly offer<br />

a fountain of youth, but many practitioners of hot<br />

yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa believe the practice is a healing one<br />

<strong>and</strong> will make you strong <strong>and</strong> youthful over time. As the<br />

owner of Blissful Spirits, I myself have found healing from<br />

practicing hot yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa <strong>and</strong> I opened the studio to<br />

share it with others.<br />

Hot yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa flow postures are practiced in hot<br />

temperatures <strong>and</strong> humidity designed to match Calcutta India,<br />

where this method was developed. The heat helps students<br />

safely stretch <strong>and</strong> eliminate toxins from the body. The studio<br />

also teaches the Barkan Method of hatha yoga postures. Head<br />

instructor Rebecca Widmayer was the first teacher of Jimmy<br />

Barkan, but at Blissful Spirits she is now developing her own<br />

style, “Sacred Hot Yoga” which also incorporates the teachings<br />

of Paramhansa Yogan<strong>and</strong>a <strong>and</strong> his lineage of yoga masters.<br />

“Our hot yoga sequence includes pranayama, affirmations,<br />

chanting, <strong>and</strong> other techniques to help master the flow of lifeforce<br />

through the body”, Widmayer said. It is mastery of the<br />

life-force that helps students maintain strength, youthfulness<br />

<strong>and</strong> beauty.<br />

In addition to the physical postures, Widmayer also<br />

presents workshops on Yogananada’s teachings about prana,<br />

chakra alignment, the eight-limbed path of yoga, affirmations,<br />

chanting, <strong>and</strong> visualization. Sacred Hot Yoga is not just<br />

physical exercise. The postures prepare your body <strong>and</strong> mind<br />

for advanced yoga techniques such as meditation.<br />

In addition to hot yoga, the studio also offers Nia classes<br />

through certified Nia White Belt, Jennifer Applegate, who<br />

also teaches hot yoga. Nia is a blend of dance, martial arts,<br />

<strong>and</strong> yoga, the regular practice of which offers weight loss,<br />

cardiovascular conditioning, stress relief, body integration,<br />

pain management, <strong>and</strong> improved self-image.<br />

The Secret to Radiant<br />

Physical Health is Not<br />

What You Might Expect<br />

By Louise Swartswalter, ND, CBS, CNHP<br />

www.abqnaturalhealthcenter.com<br />

Do you suffer with pain, low energy, <strong>and</strong> lack of sleep, allergies,<br />

<strong>and</strong> auto-immune issues? Are you tired of being tired?<br />

Frustrated with western Medicine? Have you been doctor<br />

hopping with no help or answers?<br />

If<br />

i<br />

of pain, fatigue or frustration? We work with the whole<br />

this sounds familiar, then it is TIME to receive help<br />

<strong>and</strong> know the truth! Why experience another minute<br />

body using a variety of modalities to literally peel back the layers<br />

of imbalances <strong>and</strong> allow your physical, emotional <strong>and</strong> spiritual<br />

bodies to heal at deeper subconscious levels. Using a combination<br />

of biofeedback, energy work, naturopathy, NLP, integrations <strong>and</strong><br />

detoxification, we work as detectives, “cracking the case” so that<br />

you can be who you came here to be.<br />

“How many well people would be on this earth if they could<br />

be hooked up to this program? There would be less disease. This is<br />

amazing! I felt something when you worked on the kidney <strong>and</strong> liver.<br />

Thank you!” – M.L., Albuquerque<br />

Cancer <strong>and</strong> disease begin in the energy body <strong>and</strong> then show<br />

up in the physical. Without addressing all the bodies <strong>and</strong> the<br />

mis-alignment, the dis-ease often returns years later. In western<br />

medicine, they call it remission because they are uncertain if the<br />

dis-ease state will “return?” Whatever modality you choose, it’s<br />

important to know that your inner work holds the key. What do I<br />

mean by do your inner work? Come to my workshop at the <strong>Truly</strong><br />

<strong>Alive</strong> Health <strong>and</strong> Spirituality Fair on October 30th at 2:00 PM<br />

<strong>and</strong> find out the secret to Radiant Physical Health!<br />

“Dear Louise, I felt so amazingly different after our session. The<br />

anger <strong>and</strong> frustration were softened <strong>and</strong> I feel more space around<br />

everything. I have been under lots of stress with moving <strong>and</strong> the new<br />

job <strong>and</strong> I feel like I can deal with everything better. I am relating<br />

to the world like I have never before. I could get addicted to that<br />

machine! I feel like it was the “new Doctor.” I want to come back. I<br />

feel like I accomplished more in one session with you than I have in 6<br />

months of therapy. Thank you!” – E.H., Albuquerque<br />

Astrological Forecast: September/October<br />

John Clinton | Psychic Astrologer | 505-489-1122<br />

30+ Years Experience Interpreting Stellar Events<br />

Aries (3/21-4/19): SEPTEMBER begins with work<br />

filling your days <strong>and</strong> passion completing your nights.<br />

It is self-evident that your partner is also your friend<br />

as proven this first weekend. Refine all animal instincts<br />

after the 8th. This is also a good time to begin a new health regimen.<br />

Compulsive attachments could form this month. A truth will be revealed<br />

by the 13th. As Pluto turns forward in its apparent motion<br />

that same day, you may begin to see your career turn around for the<br />

good. Psychic dreams <strong>and</strong> a need for lasting romance are this month’s<br />

keynotes. OCTOBER serves to plug the leak in your brain. On a<br />

psychic level that is what occurred. Recently, something required<br />

your complete focus. Now, you seem back to normal after resting.<br />

You may be tempted on the 7th <strong>and</strong> this could lead to a connection<br />

with someone new. That day <strong>and</strong> the 8th show a quick change<br />

from one to another. The powers of Venus are amplified during this<br />

month. So, you are correct to be absorbed by your work, but there<br />

are so many other things, like romance, drawing you away from your<br />

endeavors. You may not be ready for involvement ‘til next month.<br />

Taurus (4/20-5/20): In SEPTEMBER it’s a flood<br />

of feelings filling fall full of fuel for frivolous frolicking<br />

in forests of beauty. Fortunately, this behavior is carried<br />

out with someone special. Even though love is a form<br />

of insanity, you are able to function sanely. The 4th shows how our<br />

brain can be our worst enemy. Logic “over-ride” by the brain is not<br />

always better than our common sense. This is a hot month filled with<br />

beauty. Only the truth can foil your plans, yet only the truth can set<br />

you free. You will learn the value of the human touch in a different<br />

way. On the 8th of OCTOBER, Venus begins a rare retrograde period<br />

lasting 40 days. It’s a time to devote yourself to your devotions.<br />

Partnership matters fill your mind. You may have your relationship<br />

under your microscope this month. What you see could change<br />

things. While romance is on hold <strong>and</strong> finances seem irrelevant, you<br />

can truly discover a deep truth. Do you like the path your life is on?<br />

Is it really the right path? Just something to ponder. Be very aware<br />

of the actions around you on the 24th. Actions indeed speak louder<br />

than words that day.<br />

Gemini (5/21-6/21): In SEPTEMBER there is a<br />

ray of hope shining from someone you respect. Most<br />

of The Twins will experience romance in all its forms<br />

this month. There are always 10% of the people who<br />

do not fit their Sign. Some Geminis have only one personality. After<br />

this first week of carnival-style carnivorousness, it will be time to<br />

winterize your home. After the 12th you will see your life beginning<br />

to move forward again. You have just finished 3 weeks of soul searching<br />

where matters of karmic importance have been examined. Career<br />

matters take a back seat to health <strong>and</strong> home. OCTOBER is creative<br />

<strong>and</strong> romantic. Your love life stabilizes <strong>and</strong> after the 20th <strong>and</strong> that<br />

inspires your work efforts. The 7th is perfect for a vow of devotion.<br />

The rest of the month is filled with immovable objects <strong>and</strong> people.<br />

You are highly motivated, but others are stuck or unwilling to move<br />

forward with you. Just do your own thing. Explore your creativity.<br />

As the month winds down, you will be working hard. Guard your<br />

health by changing your diet <strong>and</strong> adding supplements. Choosing one<br />

love interest is not a limitation. It’s your salvation.<br />

Cancer (6/22-7/22): SEPTEMBER starts with<br />

a tightness in the jaws caused by a stubborn attitude.<br />

Don’t keep it inside. Talk to someone. Labor Day is a<br />

gift of appreciation from your boss. May the old methods<br />

pass <strong>and</strong> the new management techniques bring more peace <strong>and</strong><br />

self-respect to all who labor. The New Moon of the 8th signals an<br />

end to your introspection. After the 12th, you will have benefitted<br />

from the underst<strong>and</strong>ing of your thought processes. As Libra begins,<br />

you will be prepared to react intellectually rather than your usual<br />

emotional irrationality. OCTOBER continues your practicality.<br />

Your plans are in place to deal with home matters. The summer was<br />

rough in some ways, but the fall looks decidedly better. An old flame<br />

could be part of this fall experience after the 8th. Your creative juices<br />

are flowing <strong>and</strong> this will help you prepare for upcoming changes at<br />

work or to your health. You want to underst<strong>and</strong> love issues, but your<br />

greater need is for permanence in your residence. You are yearning to<br />

settle down, but where? The 26th is your most powerful day. Don’t<br />

let it upset your good plans.<br />

Leo (7/23-8/22): SEPTEMBER is usually a time<br />

for self-aggr<strong>and</strong>izement <strong>and</strong> financial progress for the<br />

Lions. There’s something stuck on your mind as the<br />

month begins, but by the 4th that fixation gets erased<br />

by the romantic harmony of a partner. A small crisis on the 8th won’t<br />

cast a shadow for very long. Money is good after the 12th. Health<br />

answers become clear on the 13th. Home entertainment is great after<br />

the 14th. The 18th presents a challenge to your newly acquired state<br />

of mind. Something needs to end. It detracts from a higher state of<br />

mind. OCTOBER starts with you in a serious state of mind. You<br />

know what needs to be done, so use your willpower to get ‘er done.<br />

This month is about communication (that includes travel). You can<br />

keep the scales tipped in your favor, but it takes some conscious effort.<br />

Are you up for it? You can stay home <strong>and</strong> eat grapes or you<br />

can respond to a higher calling. Action seems risky, but you win<br />

by month’s end. Proper choices of action become a real confidence<br />

builder. Love is by your side by the 28th.<br />

Virgo (8/23-9/22): SEPTEMBER opens quietly for<br />

you. You are deep in thought. You are perfecting your<br />

internal processes. By the 12th you are done. You are<br />

perfect again (though actually, you always were). Partly,<br />

you are focused on finances. Now, your financial outlook can be adjusted<br />

by external actions. Nervous energy is yours on the 14th. You<br />

may not be showing your political concerns. The Full Moon of the<br />

23rd lights up the hidden elements which need to be eliminated.<br />

Watch finances at month’s end. OCTOBER starts with opportunities<br />

flying by you like skaters on the bike paths. You are blocking your<br />

own progress the first week. Let go of haunting thoughts. Sell shaky<br />

36 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010


stock holdings by the 8th. Earning power is yours from the 3rd to<br />

the 20th. Your higher nature could be missing this month, but the<br />

time is perfect for selfishness. Travel is good by the light of the Full<br />

Moon after the 18th. You yearn to journey to contact an old lover.<br />

Well, what’s stopping you?<br />

Libra (9/23-10/22): SEPTEMBER seems to shine<br />

as you become surrounded by beauty of your own<br />

choosing. Psychic dreams fill your nights. Your waking<br />

hours are energetic <strong>and</strong> industrious. The 4th is a healing<br />

day. Labor Day is for resting <strong>and</strong> fact-checking. The 7th has a previously<br />

overlooked piece of information. The New Moon on the 8th<br />

represents the end of a yearly cycle <strong>and</strong> the Full Moon on the 23rd<br />

brings a choice for the year ahead. Choose what is logical for the year<br />

ahead. You represent peace <strong>and</strong> the 21st is the UN day of peace...perfect<br />

for the 1st day of Libra. OCTOBER is the Libran birth month.<br />

Be sure to celebrate all 30 days of your Sign. Your new yearly cycle<br />

begins on the 7th. Venus goes retrograde the next day. That indicates<br />

that your year begins with a review <strong>and</strong> a withdrawal from the world.<br />

Factor in Saturn <strong>and</strong> your slight depression makes sense, astrologically.<br />

This stems from your financial issues which affects your selfesteem.<br />

Just keep a broader perspective. The 25th has a message for<br />

you. Speculate on the 26th. Your verbosity returns by the 28th.<br />

Scorpio (10/23-11/21): SEPTEMBER has a duality<br />

to it. Like a tiger about to spring, you need to lie<br />

low the first two weeks. The 2nd half of the month is for<br />

chasing down your desires. The 13th calls for personal<br />

changes to capture your objective. There are spiritual requirements<br />

involved. A former lover may return around the 18th. This is a karmic<br />

situation, but fun. The Full Moon of the 22nd/23rd requires a<br />

health choice. The 25th is difficult, but friends are there to inspire<br />

you. If at first you don’t succeed, try thinking. OCTOBER has a<br />

New Moon on the 7th which signals a quiet time ahead. You tend<br />

to withdraw from the world even though aloneness seems pervasive.<br />

Your thoughts turn to former romances. Finally, you reemerge on<br />

the 20th. You have a lot to say now even though you want to beat<br />

some dead horses. You can speak of the past, but the future is a better<br />

focus for you. The Full Moon on the 22nd brings a personal revelation.<br />

Your words <strong>and</strong> actions are largely ignored by others, but isn’t<br />

it good to vent?<br />

Sagittarius (11/22-12/21): In SEPTEMBER<br />

Jupiter may try to pull you away from the fun things<br />

<strong>and</strong> a new romance. You are asked to look within your<br />

soul regarding these matters. There is something very<br />

shocking to learn. This discovery is somehow facilitated by a friend.<br />

Changes are possible from this very karmic message. Things will balance<br />

out by the 23rd. Keep your eyes peeled for true love that day.<br />

I can’t lollipop this up...the truth is, that you must be very careful<br />

to avoid injury from mid-September through the whole month of<br />

October. Actually, you will do best during OCTOBER by staying<br />

<strong>and</strong> playing alone, but not all the time. You are a social animal/human,<br />

after all. Mars will stimulate your social urges, but it can overenergize<br />

one particular friend. Keep the straight jacket h<strong>and</strong>y. Career<br />

matters need a redo. There could be trouble when an ex-lover returns<br />

around the 8th. You are in no mood for starting over. A decision has<br />

to be made about a friend on the 22nd. The 28th is energizing, but<br />

you still need lots of solitude. Home is your best place to meditate<br />

<strong>and</strong> reach deeply for soul-related matters.<br />

Capricorn (12/22-1/19): SEPTEMBER, ah,<br />

lovely September. How you harmonize with this time<br />

of year. The month has a very earthy, yet civilized, expectation<br />

to it. Your higher minded qualities come<br />

forth. You combine that with a very strong mindset for the first two<br />

weeks. Then all hell breaks loose. You can choose not to be drawn<br />

into the anger. You do best when seeking peace. Peace is your karmic<br />

task for the next two years. It’s also about partnerships, legal dealings,<br />

career proficiency, <strong>and</strong> an openness to new ideas. Master these<br />

areas <strong>and</strong> your path will be smooth. During OCTOBER your career<br />

<strong>and</strong> worldly st<strong>and</strong>ing are spotlighted. Friends play a major role this<br />

month. Listen to their ideas <strong>and</strong> complaints near month’s end. It’s<br />

hard to get your point across at work unless you are the boss. Others<br />

seem unmotivated the first 10 days. By the 22nd when things start to<br />

fall apart, you will get your due recognition. Your ideas are great <strong>and</strong><br />

you find satisfaction as you help the bottom line. Even when we see<br />

the ship about to run aground, it’s hard to stop it in time. Momentum<br />

is the problem.<br />

Aquarius (1/20-2/18): SEPTEMBER: I know;<br />

things just suck sometimes. Life is still the same, but<br />

maybe that’s the problem. You need more data input for<br />

your mind. This happens every year for 4+ months. It’s<br />

a time to study <strong>and</strong> learn the lessons before you. It’s a time to gather<br />

your facts. It’s a time to go within. Yes, things will move forward<br />

again <strong>and</strong> you will easily make up for lost time. You are the arrow being<br />

drawn backward before you are sent flying to your target. You will<br />

see this before the year ends. OCTOBER: Uranus remains retrograde<br />

all month, but your secondary planet, Saturn, gives you peace <strong>and</strong><br />

perseverance Things have seemed divided, separated, or disjointed for<br />

almost two years. Now, everything is slowly coming together again.<br />

Give it time. You want to make big changes, but some changes will<br />

not be of your own choosing. Just know that recent events are by<br />

Universal design. There is a point to it all. Choosing correctly on the<br />

22nd will make you whole. Choose wrong...never mind!<br />

Pisces (2/19-3-20): When Neptune is retrograde as<br />

it is this SEPTEMBER; it can be even more pleasing<br />

to the Pisceans. It must feel like a fantasy turned inside<br />

out as only you can grasp. Yet, to suffer is a buffer to the<br />

pain of no gain like a plain with no rain where life is in strife where<br />

each blade of grass joins with others in mass to keep hope alive or<br />

just to survive long enough to call the bluff of the ultimate reaper to<br />

see something deeper. To merge <strong>and</strong> to know the verge of a glow that<br />

waits like a promise to be or not to be. OCTOBER continues the inner<br />

voyage as both Jupiter <strong>and</strong> Neptune remain retrograde all month.<br />

Be careful at work as things can get foggy. Use your natural fog lights<br />

<strong>and</strong> your instinct when needed. You are almost obsessed by the allure<br />

of freedom. You may need a travel guide with good directions. The<br />

22nd is a big day as the Full Moon brings an awareness of a critical<br />

situation which needs to be eliminated. The 19th is a feel good day as<br />

life vitalizes you. Your career or work brings good energy for financial<br />

blessings after the 28th.<br />
