July / August 2012 - Truly Alive Magazine

JULY/AUGUST 2012
Birth 2012 and Beyond distills
the remarkable lifework
of Barbara Marx Hubbard,
America’s most beloved
visionary futurist, and extends
her prophetic call for a shift
to a new era of conscious
evolution. This unusual book
offers an essential roadmap
for today’s evolutionaries and
forward thinkers based on
Barbara’s masterful insight
that “our crisis is a birth.”
This breakthrough work
heralds a hopeful future by
inviting readers to join a
campaign that builds toward
a global day of collective
initiation; one that Barbara
long ago envisioned:
a Planetary Birth Day
celebration. This event, to be
held on December 22, 2012
will inaugurate an era of social
synergy—the convergence of
those positive innovations that
can transform all sectors of
global society.
Creative essays are also
included in the book; written
by a select group of twelve
renowned evolutionary leaders
known as the Welcoming
Committee, who join Barbara
in her timely call for the
establishment of a sustainable
planetary civilization.

This issue is truly an exciting one. The feature on Barbara Marx
Hubbard and Birth 2012 and Beyond outlines her worldwide
campaign for humanity to shift to conscious evolution. It’s a great
anchor for this issue. Also included is an article on the new, local
Birth 2012 Evolutionary Circles groups (based on Barbara’s work,
pg 36), The Wisdom of the Origins Conference (Barbara is a
presenter, pg 27), the S.T.A.R. Clinic (pg. 7) the 11 Steps to God Realization class (pg
13), the Divine Feminine workshop (pg 40), the Beliefs article (pg 37) and more. The
opportunities to prepare ourselves for what’s unfolding throughout this year and into
the future are phenomenal.
For the past five years, Truly Alive has sponsored a Health & Spirituality Fair. This
year, we are doing something different. The new Health & Spirituality Workshop
Weekend takes what some have considered to be the best of the Fair (the workshops)
and offers them over a whole weekend. Each presenter has their own slot, with no
overlaps. You can attend all 10 workshops plus the Friday night mixer for just $44
(when you prepay by September 15th—otherwise it’s $54). Check out the hot topics on
page 34. At the mixer, you can meet the workshop presenters as well as Truly Alive
advertisers over appetizers and light refreshments. You may attend the mixer by itself
($10) or one of the workshop days (Saturday or Sunday for $25), or choose your
favorite workshop for just $8. It’s a great value and an event not to be missed!
Also in this issue, you’ll find our new online advertising opportunities (see rates
pg 42). Online articles, banner ads, classes/workshops and resource directory listings
are incredibly affordable! The new online options offer rates at a fraction of our print
advertising costs. These new online offerings are within easy reach for many who
might not have considered advertising in the Truly Alive print magazine previously.

S.T.A.R. Clinic, A Quantum Gift to Humanity
from the Golden Dolphin Avatars of Sirius B
By Nina Brown
S.T.A.R. is an acronym that represents a state of being,
the knowledge of and the belief in the principles of surrender,
trust, allow, and receive. By entering this state, one is receptive
to the inter-galactic, multi-dimensional open portals for
cosmic healing, also known as the quantum field of unlimited
possibility. The Golden Dolphin S.T.A.R. Clinic is a quantumhealing
collective comprised of practitioners with diverse
backgrounds and gifts who embody the S.T.A.R. state and work
within the quantum field to facilitate healing and promote wellbeing.
The Golden Dolphin S.T.A.R Clinic is directed outside of
the realm of individuated consciousness by the divine Creator.
Conferences, workshops and events held by this quantumhealing
collective are also called S.T.A.R. Clinics, which are
portals of inter-dimensional healing. Golden Dolphin S.T.A.R.
Clinics provide extended support to the Golden Dolphins;
those who gather in community to practice human-divinity,
self-love and play…with healing, nurturing and expansion of
consciousness through ancient wisdom and new knowledge.
The Golden Dolphin S.T.A.R. Clinic, Ascension 2012:
Ancient and New Codes Revealed, held on October 19-21
in New Mexico will be presenting new concepts and actual
experiences to the field of healing by publicly introducing
cosmic and galactic healers; each of whom have access to various
levels of reality in trans-dimensional shape and form and who
share the purpose of recovering and restoring physiology on
both gross and subtle levels. (See ad on the inside back cover of
this issue.)
How it all began:
The Golden Dolphins, messengers of the S.T.A.R. Clinic,
shared, “It was evolved many millions of years ago, waiting until
you were ready to do the work.”
The process by which the Golden Dolphin S.T.A.R. Clinic
was anchored is explained in detail in chapter three of Return of
Love to Planet Earth, Memoir of a Reluctant Visionary by Nina
Brown from which a few excepts are presented below:
Journal Entry: S.T.A.R. Clinics—9/6/07: “...You have been
intrigued with the medicine of the future. The future is here,
and you are helping to bring it in. The time is soon at hand when
humanity will know of their divinity, and illness will no longer
be needed to facilitate that awareness. Magic and healthcare
equal the new earth. We will guide you and work with you. You
need only remember S.T.A.R. and all four of its components.
Do not just surrender and trust; also allow and receive. There
must be a balance for the flow. The clients must do the same...”
Journal Entry: Cosmic Opening—9/17/07: “... You will see
patients with many different conditions but one illness in
common, a troubled soul that is seeking balance and expansion.
That will be our work. The practitioners will provide the trust
and confidence so they [patients] can relax in the present; then
we will greet them on another level. In time, they will come to
understand the true magic of their cosmic healing. Again, you
need do nothing—just be, dear one...”
Journal Entry: Completion—10/4/07:“... The vision is
enormous. The S.T.A.R. clinics are a reality, and they will
transform healing. Nothing can stop them now. This is only
the beginning. We honor you for your courage in stepping into
uncharted water, and in trusting your voices and your instinct.
You have called on us for help and guidance, and we responded.
This has not been an easy path, dear one, even though it started
many lifetimes ago.”
Since then, through the application of S.T.A.R., synchronicity
and the laws of attraction have drawn together an amazing
collective of practitioners who will, no doubt, serve the greatest
good in potent ways. (www.goldendolphins.com)

The Feeling of Inadequacy is
the #1 Disease in Our Culture
3rd in a Series of Articles About Chakras By Ellen Tadd
When we perceive our behavior as our identity, we
become vulnerable to feelings of inadequacy.
Every mistake we make or imbalance we feel
can create a decline in our self-esteem. In chakra language,
this means the throat chakra weakens.
When we separate our identity from our behavior,
our throat chakra can become consistently
strong. In our essence we are each Spirit,
which remains the same over time and always
good. Our behavior, however is in
a constant state of development and is
based on our conscious awareness at the
moment. We grasp this concept more
easily with children than with adults.
When a two year old dumps his or her
milk, we tend to see this behavior as a step
in a process of development. But when an
adult acts inappropriately we label the person
lazy, stupid, or not of value, rather then seeing
their imbalance as a spiritual stage of growth.
The societal tendency to see a person’s behavior as their
identity contributes to many feelings of inadequacy, weak
throat chakras, and doesn’t support learning and self-esteem.
Located, obviously, in the throat area, the throat chakra is
the center of power, confidence, self-esteem, growth, truth,
and expression. The essence of the throat chakra is our underlying
relationship with ourselves…that is, our inner
self-esteem. This self-esteem is not to be confused with our
self-esteem in the world or in relationship with others. The
distinction between our “inner” and our “outer” self-esteem
is an important one. It is possible to have a strong throat
chakra, feeling confident when alone, but become frightened
and uncertain about actualizing potential in relationships or
in society.
The enormous power of the inner identity and the
throat chakra came to me in an experience that took place
long ago. I was in a gas station at eleven o’clock at night.
Suddenly I had a vision of an illumined, long haired man
wearing a robe. He was floating toward me. His lips did not
move, yet I heard him say, “I am the universe.” He spoke
this over and over again. I became filled with the feeling of
being the universe. In that moment, I felt that I had created
the mountains, the oceans, and the gas station attendant. I
had consciously connected with being Spirit, and therefore
the creator of life. I knew in that moment that I was both
the creator and just one small creation. I also saw how fine
the line is between psychosis and enlightenment. I was able
8 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net
to count my money and pay the gas station attendant, yet
I felt the power and the expansion of “being the universe.”
This is the power—the deep, inner self-esteem—that resides
within the throat chakra when we embrace that greatness of
the spirit that resides in us all. There is no ego in the power
that dwells in the “I am Spirit” consciousness.
A sign that our throat chakra is in a
weakened state is when we find it difficult to
accept a compliment because we believe it
is not deserved. Or a seemingly reverse
effect; when we react to criticism as a
hurtful and painful experience. When
the throat chakra is strong, both praise
and criticism are received with ease
and recognized as avenues toward truth
and learning.
The affliction of inadequacy occurs
when people fail to focus on their innate
goodness. The distress created from this
misperception can become fully healed through
regaining belief in one’s spiritual essence. Self-esteem is
gradually reclaimed and sustained through repetition of
thoughts, words, and actions that support and reinforce
the acceptance of our fundamental goodness. When we acknowledge
our spiritual identity, our moods, behaviors, and
thoughts may continue to vary, but our understanding of
our value will not change.
When we cultivate an “I am Spirit” consciousness, a
by product becomes comfort with
personal power and the throat chakra
opens and expands. However, often
people are afraid to claim their power
because they are afraid of either taking
responsibility for or accepting the
consequence of their actions. Yet if
sensitive people do not “speak up” but
remain intimidated, they relinquish
power to less compassionate or
thoughtless individuals.

Got Pain?
Don’t Wait!
By Victoria L Magown
Driving to work, another car accident on the freeway
—three car pile-up with everybody standing around
looking at the damage (which looked minimal). However,
no matter how minimal the car damage, your neck and body are
affected at least twice as much.
I took the exit and then saw another car accident at an
intersection on Montgomery. This one was serious. Both cars’
front fenders were crushed back to the windshields, people were
sitting, not standing and the ambulance had just arrived. They
probably got checked out at Emergency; nothing found broken
and they were sent home. Sound familiar?
You are working on your roof, up on a ladder and slip,
falling about 20 feet. You are black and blue with bruises, quite
sore and after about one month, you feel pretty much back to
normal. But are you really?
You are riding your bicycle and skid on sand, throwing
you flying through the air, landing on your back, right hip and
shoulder. Road Rash, black and blue. You nurse yourself back to
normal. But are you really?
Every trauma your body experiences causes the muscles and
fascia to shorten in the areas of the trauma. If these areas are not
specifically treated to return to normal length, the shortened
areas are with you forever; your body compensating for the
shortening until appropriately treated.
The longer you are hurting and restricted, the more
treatments it will take to release your muscles and fascia to
return to a pain-free state. If your pain persists, you need to
have appropriate treatment to return your body and posture to
normal. It does not just “go away”, even though you may feel
better for a while.
One of the natural consequences of muscles and fascia
shortening is that we tend to “give in” to accommodate the
shortening by standing, sitting, working and sleeping in the
“comfortable shortened position”. This feels good for a while
and then the pain starts up again. At this point, trying to stretch
the traumatized area without appropriate treatment can be
quite painful.
Integrated Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy addresses the
traumatized fascia, muscles and joints, all in the same treatment.
This is why we are able to obtain fast results in a short amount
of time. Our treatments are all-inclusive, teaching you about
your body and how to keep it pain-free, forever. We address
“Perpetuating Factors” such as correct ergonomic posture while
sitting, working, driving, sleeping, etc. We also discuss nutritional
factors that may be contributing to your ongoing pain.
We coordinate treatment with your primary care physician
(if appropriate) and may also suggest other practitioners to treat
you. Together, your team of practitioners can resolve your pain
faster.
We, then, teach you how to keep the pain from re-occurring
and how to manage flare-ups. Our goal is to have you pain-free
and able to manage any exacerbations you may experience on
your own.
You are given a specific Home Exercise Program, (only three
or four exercises) that are “key” to keeping you feeling good.
These exercises are gentle and easy to do, even at the office.
Remember, your rehabilitation exercises should feel good,
not painful, and only performed in a pain-free range. If your
exercises are painful, that means not all of the muscles and
fascia have been released and/or your joints are not in a correct,
functional position.
MyoRehab’s Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists
are committed to helping you become pain-free in the shortest
time possible. After you are released from treatment, you can
periodically return for a “tune-up”. We will review your Home
Exercise Program and discuss any other issues you feel may be
interfering with your wellbeing, keeping you pain-free.
Don’t wait; the pain does not go away by its self.
Call MyoRehab at 505-872-3100
and schedule an appointment now.
We love giving people their lives back.

Love As Deep As the Ocean
By Dr. Stephen P. Weiss, MD, Integrative Medicine and Classical Homeopathy
Several years ago,
Jeremy Sherr, my
most influential
homeopathy teacher, was
afflicted with debilitating
fatigue, muscle and joint
pains that lingered for
weeks and weeks. Jeremy’s
greatest gift to humanity
has been to reintroduce the
all but lost art and science of homeopathic provings, which
had remained mostly dormant for a century. Provings
are one of the cornerstones of Classical Homeopathy.
It is through them that homeopaths discover exactly
what conditions and specific symptoms can be cured by
a particular remedy. Many of you know that Classical
Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars—like will
be cured by like. A homeopathic remedy, when given
to a group of healthy individuals (a process called a
homeopathic proving) creates a wide array of very precise
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual symptoms,
which are the very symptoms the remedy can cure in a sick
person. Provers carefully document any and all changes in
their health provoked by the remedy, and this information
is then collated as reference material for homeopaths
everywhere.
When Jeremy sets out to do a proving, he empties
his mind and prays to be shown which substance in the
natural world he should
prove, then looks for signs or
omens. After performing this
ritual, he sat on the shores of
the Baltic Sea where he was
vacationing, gazing out at the
still blue waters, trying in vain
to work out the debilitating
soreness and stiffness in his neck. At that very moment,
a graceful swan floated by, head perched on its slender,
delicate neck. Jeremy immediately knew that his prayers
had been answered and resolved to do a proving of the
whooper swan, Cygnus cygnus. Fortunately for Jeremy,
shortly after his encounter with the whooper swan, he
came up with a different homeopathic remedy which
restored him to excellent health.
Provings are a window into the Great Mystery. There
is no telling what kinds of disturbances they will trigger
in the provers. Swan did
induce neck pain and/
or stiffness in 7 of the 32
provers. Here is a small
sampling of some of the
thousands of entries in the
prover journals during the
whooper swan proving
which gives you an idea
of how magical the whole
process is (none of the provers knew what remedy they
were proving): “I am completely fascinated by black and
white colors in clothing.”—Prover #13. Several of the
provers felt a profound sense of grief relating to the death of
a loved one, uncontrolled weeping, a feeling of emptiness
in the heart and chest, and others felt immense feelings
of love. “I feel like I’ve cried the tears of my whole life
today.”—Prover # 15. “Gardening, getting overwhelmed
by massive sadness”—Prover #2 (whose second daughter
was born prematurely and died right after she was born).
“Having a shower, I felt overwhelming grief for my Father,
how I miss him. The grief felt more about not just missing
him as a Father, but as a soul. I just cried and cried with
grief.”—Prover #4. Felt sensation of overwhelming love
for everyone and mankind and opening in the heart. Feel
color reemerge into life, instead of the utterly black white
severity.”—Prover #1. It is important to note that most
whooper swans mate for life. Putting all this together, it is
quite clear that Cygnus cygnus is indicated in the treatment
of patients who have experienced the loss of someone with
whom they have a deep soul connection.
Nancy, a 51 year old gifted and successful healer,
consulted me a couple of years ago for fatigue, swallowing
difficulties, hiatal hernia, severe life-long migraines, low
grade depression, anxiety and constipation. She also had
suffered a freak accident 3 weeks prior when someone
inadvertently bumped into her, spilling a caustic solution
in both eyes. She was under the care of an ophthalmologist
who was treating her with steroid eyedrops, but was still
experiencing pain and blurred vision in both eyes. She
and her fiancé Derek were engaged to be married, but a
wedding date had not yet been set. In sharp contrast to the
popularly held stereotype about men and commitment,
Derek was certain Nancy was the one for him. It was Nancy
who was hesitating about tying the knot, even though she
was very much in love.
10 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net

Nancy had read my articles in Truly Alive (clearly a
woman of superior intelligence) and knew off the bat
that she wanted Classical Homeopathic treatment, so she
booked a two hour appointment with me (depending on
the complexity of the patient, this can sometimes take
even longer). In the course of
our initial consultation, Nancy
shared the sad news that her
first husband had committed
suicide 18 years prior. “I loved
him beyond anything”, she told
me.” I felt like I died. I couldn’t
feel ANYTHING emotionally
or physically for months. It was
horrible pain, like a horrible
void in my gut. The first time I remember feeling anything
was on July 4th, going into a cold lake. Then I could only
feel water. I love water—it was the only thing that helped.
It’s comforting to get in water...to hear it.”
I gave Nancy 3 tiny pellets of Cygnus cygnus and
she followed up approximately 6 weeks later. She
was delighted. “The fatigue is 40% better. No longer
having any swallowing difficulties! Migraines are much
improved—they occur every 2-3 weeks, down from
several times a week! Low back pain and anxiety are
way better. Bowels have normalized!” In the interim,
Nancy also did some emotional integration work which
she has been doing for years, and which has helped her
tremendously. The only symptoms that had not improved
were her eye pain and vision. 3 weeks later, 2 months
after her first appointment, Nancy was ecstatic. “Almost
every symptom I had when I first came to you (and there
are several others which I haven’t mentioned) is gone!”
Shortly after she took the 2nd dose of the remedy, she
did more emotional work and had a huge breakthrough.
First she fell to the floor in shock, and then she began
trembling uncontrollably, exactly as she had done when
she first learned of the death of her husband. This is
called a return of old symptoms in homeopathy, and is
an important part of the healing process. It is also an
integral part of the emotional work she was doing, as
each “action” was immediately integrated into her entire
being. ”My eyes are 80% better! I’m moving forward with
the wedding. I want to marry Derek now. It’s as if I’m
no longer dragging the past with me into the future. I
feel SO GOOD! I feel SO BLESSED!” Cygnus cygnus has
been a healing gift to several of my patients who have
been devastated by the loss of a soul mate.
Nancy and Derek were married last year in a beautiful
ceremony. I was in attendance, and was thrilled to have
been able to play an important part in the healing of such
intense trauma and in the blossoming of a fresh love
Almost every symptom I had when I first came
to you (and there are several others I haven’t
mentioned) is gone!... My eyes are 80% better!
I’m moving forward with the wedding. I want
to marry Derek now. It’s as if I’m no longer
dragging the past with me into the future. I feel
SO GOOD! I feel SO BLESSED!
between two dear souls. Today, a year later, I learned of
the amazing ripple effect that Nancy’s healing has had on
the unresolved grief of her children and entire family. And
I know that those ripples, like the ones produced by the
whooper swans as they glide majestically atop blue waters,
reach beyond what the naked
eye can see.

Brain Boosters: The Seven
Steps to Permanent Change
By Louise Swartswalter, ND, CBS, CNHP, CALT
As seen on KOB-TV
Do you have ADD/ADHD, Allergies, Autism or other brain imbalances? Join us for a free demo on
the use of biofeedback, nutrition and detoxing for balancing the brain and creating the focus and
attention you desire on August 25th at 10:00 AM in the ANHC office. See news/events pages.
The
Brain Boosters program, “The Seven
Steps to Permanent Change”, works
with neurological and brain
imbalances such as ADD/ADHD, Autism,
Asperger’s, Tourette’s, Allergies and Learning
Issues. All of these imbalances are just that;
imbalances in the neurological, immune or
hormonal systems. Emotions and spiritual causes
are also an important piece of this puzzle. I have
been developing this program for the past thirty
years and it is the most complete Brain Balancing
program out there!
First, everything vibrates at a particular frequency. By
changing the vibration (or frequency), we affect change in
the DNA and the cells. I call it “rebooting the hard drive of
body. It’s like downloading a new software program. Second,
we are the only clinic in the southwest that utilizes
five different biofeedback programs to accomplish
what’s needed for each individual. Everyone is
unique and the cookie cutter approach does not
honor every individual’s path.
So, what are the steps in creating balance
for these imbalances? In addition to the new
information that can be given to cells through
the use of Biofeedback, there are seven steps
to changing those imbalances for life. 1. nutrition and
rebuilding, 2. food allergies and sensitivities, 3. heavy metal
and chemical detoxing, 4. neurotransmitter rebalancing,
5. healthy environment, 6. emotional rebalancing and
building self esteem, 7. spiritual and soul level healing.
How do I know this so intimately? I taught special
education for twenty nine years and became like the students
I taught. I could not remember my own phone number and
wrote it in my wallet. After having fourteen mercury fillings
taken out in one day (obviously unsafely), I crashed from
heavy metal poisoning. Detoxing and rebuilding my body
and the steps I took to heal myself are the steps involved
in any brain imbalance issue. Join us August 25th at 10:00
AM at the ANHC office for an awesome Brain Boosters
Workshop!
So it may be possible that the brain Boosters is working
on my son... He told me today that he was nervous and
thought he failed his test only to find out that he did fairly
well and his speech that he thought wasn’t good made
the grade! Could it be the energy of the brain boosters? I
believe. K.M., Belen, NM

Transformation
for Our Times
By Rachel Zuses
Buck Rhodes, Bella Laurenson,
Virginia Stephenson
11 Steps to God
Realization
By Buck Rhodes PhD & Virginia Stephenson
times of accelerated expansion for
humanity and the Earth, one thing has
Inthese
become clear: we can’t do it alone. As we
step into our true power as conscious co-creators,
we are learning how to work together to heal the world by
healing ourselves.
You may have begun to notice, as I have, that your ability for
personal transformation is greatly magnified when you are in the
presence of another. This can be as simple as talking to a friend
or as grand as participating in a global meditation for peace.
When we connect with others with intention, the power of the
One is joined with the power of the Many, and miracles occur.
The process of personal growth and healing can sometimes
feel isolating, and it benefits us on many levels to come together
in community. Mentally, our awareness grows as we learn from
others and discover different perspectives. Emotionally, it helps
us feel supported and connected. Spiritually, joining together
with others brings us more fully into Oneness with all of creation.
I am starting the New Dimensions
Psychic Faire to serve as a space
of renewal and transformation,
powered by us, for the benefit of all.
The Faire is not just about getting a
reading or attending a workshop; it
is an opportunity to join others in a place of healing, learning,
and expansion.
The first Faire will take place August 4 & 5 at the Harwood
Art Center, Albuquerque. Complete details are available online
at www.AbqPsychicFaire.com; and in our ad below. I hope that
you will join us in making the Faire the special event that only
your presence can help create.
New Dimensions Psychic Faire – Transformation for Our Times.
A weekend of healing and transformation with psychic readers,
energy healing, free workshops, and more. Held three times a
year in Albuquerque, NM. Visit www.AbqPsychicFaire.com to
learn more.
You are not separate from God. Most of us
were led to believe that God is separate
from us; a result of our culturally-taught
dualistic world view. Ancient mystery schools
brought their candidates face to face with God and allowed
them to experience God as themselves. After learning the 11
Steps, you will be in a state of oneness.
The understanding of Jesus has been very confused by
conservative Christianity. He is the perfect example of a
successful Mystery School initiate. We see him as our teacher
and guide to God realization. Like Buddha, Jesus teaches us
to stand in our power for the suffering of the world. Walking
the 11 Steps of Realization, the group process will reveal
Jesus’ story to be the journey of every person…searching for
wholeness, wrestling with the ego, and discovering the divine
self. Using the gestalt process, his stories become our stories;
leading us to wholeness. (Check out the book by workshop
authors: Can Christians be Saved.)
In this course, sacred allegories are relived in the present
tense. This is an intuitive right brain experience. Combined
with our left brain logical understanding, this provides for
integration of the authentic knowledge of God. New neural
pathways will result, creating new oneness beliefs instead of the
old dualistic beliefs. We will experience ourselves as one with
all creation, while retaining our uniqueness and individuality.
Are you on an awakening path and looking for advanced
spiritual techniques? These realizations will help you to
understand the nature of Oneness and the Divine; how to
practically and spiritually help yourself, your friends, and
the world…to awaken from the trance of greed, selfishness
and competition, and to turn suffering into JOY. The course
includes 13 weeks of group training, a 50 page work book, and
private sessions with the facilitators.
Are you ready to advance spiritually? Everyone will be
interviewed prior to acceptance in order to validate the readiness
of all participants. Call Dr. Buck Rhodes at 505-244-0777 TODAY!

Dr. Pamela Costello
Candice Mitchell
(Reprinted with permission.)
As time has elapsed and the nature of tick-bourne illness has
evolved, it has become increasingly clear to those with open
eyes that Lyme Disease spans far beyond just the bite of a tick.
Chronic Lyme Disease has become a silent rising epidemic,
one that is under-researched and under-diagnosed, but
contrarily widely contracted and devastatingly crippling. The
disease is multifaceted and complex, and requires a
treating physician to look beyond bacteria
and assess the many layers of illness and
imbalance that an afflicted patient
may possess. It is a handful of wise,
dedicated and attentive physicians
that gives patients suffering from
this complex neuroimmune chronic
illness hope, with their research, their
willingness to listen, and their ability to
comprehensively treat each patient as a unique
individual. I recently had the opportunity to speak with
one of them, neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Dr. Pamela
Costello. Not only is Dr. Costello a doctor, but she is a healer.
Her practice of medicine is unique, in that she combines her
extensive experience and research in neurological illness with
the use of allopathic and holistic modalities to heal her patients
struggling with chronic neuroimmune and infectious illness.
She doesn’t merely treat symptoms or an aspect of a disease,
but instead integratively and comprehensively heals the root
of it. She took the time to share with us the ways in which she
accomplishes this, including the vital role that Byron White
Formulas play in her practice.
Candice Mitchell: Thank you for taking the time to speak
with me about your experience, Dr. Costello. How long
have you been in practice?
Dr. Pamela Costello: I’ve been in practice since 2000, but
investigated and ultimately began to incorporate integrative
medicine and neuroscience into my medical practice
during my residency and post-doctoral training from 1992
through the present.
CM: At what point in your career did you recognize tickborne
disease as a potential contributor to neuroimmunebased
illness and chronic health issues?
Dr. C: My graduate studies were in developmental neuroscience
and the prenatal influences of the immune system
on the developing brain. I did an undergraduate research
program as well in 3rd world human parasites and their in-

Interview with Dr. Pamela Costello:
Chronic Neuroimmune Illness, Byron
White Formulas and Holistic Healing
By International Blogger Candice Mitchell of Infectiously Optimistic
termediate hosts and vectors, so my interest in parasitic disease
and neuroimmunology would date back to the 1980’s.
In 1993, while doing my post doctoral fellowship research,
I became further versed in the issue of neurotoxins during
my study of Alzheimer’s brains. My greatest inspiration,
however, in furthering my understanding of treating Lyme
Disease, arose when one of my very dear friends became
gravely ill with Lyme Disease. I quickly realized how
ineffective standard medicine was in both
diagnosing and treating her illness. Her
quest to heal became my quest, and ul-
timately led me to my current prac-
tice focus on the integrative care of
Lyme Disease and Neurotoxins.
CM:
Truly fascinating. At what
point in your career did you
become interested in treating these
issues holistically? I’m interested to hear
what influenced your choice to move from the use of
pharmaceutical-based “conventional” medicine to treating
with natural and alternative modalities.
Dr. C: In medical school, residency, and on into my private
practice, I’ve always been plagued by the limited scope and
high side effect or toxic profile of allopathic medications.
I’ve struggled with following AMA guidelines and the
“standard of care” while working in the hospital, thus I often
agreed to prescribe only those medications that I could
clearly reason were on the low end of toxicity and high end
of therapeutic yield. As for managing my out patients (i.e.,
clinic or office patients), I’ve had much greater latitude in
offering an integrative approach. Managing my hospitalized
patients was more difficult in that standard prescription
medications were often all I had available to treat the
patient. The increasing tide of multiply resistant organisms
and worsening side effect profiles of the ever increasingly
powerful antibiotics, in conjunction with the increasingly
toxic disease states, actually became both eye opening and
quite disturbing. I began working with alternative medicine
at the outset of my practice, including using IV Vitamin C
infusions during all of my surgeries. I was naturally drawn
to leaders in the integrative field such as Andrew Weil, MD,
and Dr. Deepak Chopra, whom I followed in the early 1990’s.
At that time, I studied alternative therapies primarily on
my own, referencing these pioneers and others (Dr. Linus
Pauling amongst them), until I found Dr. Thomas Rau of
The Paracelsus Institute. I completed a training program

with him in Biological Medicine. My friend’s struggle with
Lyme Disease, however, provided me the definitive shift in
my focus. I would say that it has been an ‘evolution’ toward
a fully integrative practice.
CM: What types of health conditions do you treat on a day
to day basis in your integrative practice?
Dr. C: I have a wide variety of patients who seek my care, as I
offer comprehensive care as a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist
(treating adult and pediatric neurologic conditions), but I
subspecialize in infections and neurotoxins that attack the
nervous system. This covers a large group of the population
in this era of such potent organisms, in conjunction with
the toxic background of a genetically altered food supply,
and a water and air source that is rife with neurotoxins and
lacking in any vital energy.
CM: I know that Byron White Formulas play a significant
role in your practice and in the treatment of your patients.
How long have you been using the formulas?
Dr. C: I became aware of Dr. White and his energized
compound herbal therapies while completing an ILADS
sponsored fellowship in advanced Lyme Disease diagnosis
and care with Dr. Steve Harris in Redwood City, CA. I was
so intrigued by Dr. White and his non-drug therapy product
line, and this in conjunction with being so disenchanted with
the standard antibiotic approach, that I rapidly converted to
his herbal, homeopathic therapy approach. My partner, Dr.
Bill Wolfe, is a renowned mercury free Biological dentist and
a naturopath, and also produces energized detox and dental
products. His products, as well as Dr. White’s formulas, are
the primary product lines which I carry and prescribe, in
addition to my standard IV and detox supplements (e.g.,
Vitamin C, ozone) and homeopathic formulations which I
use for neural therapy, etc.
CM: Why do you personally believe that Byron White
Formulas hold such potent healing potential?
Dr. C: Through his genius, his many years of hard work and
compassionate and attentive patient care, Dr. White has well
defined the requirements of effective and safe treatment of
modern maladies. He has done so through a homeopathic
and herbal approach, as well as by incorporating the very
essential component of energetics into his formulas, making
his products unique in today’s commercially available
product market.
CM: This level of healing is indeed incredibly rare, and
indisputably powerful. It holds such promise and hope
for those chronically suffering. “Stories of Hope” are
actually quite exceptional gems amidst the chronically ill
community. Could you share a few stories in which Byron
White Formulas played a role in a patient’s recovery?
Dr. C: My daily encounters with patients utilizing his
products affirm for me his wisdom, compassion, and
effectiveness in antidoting today’s diseases or imbalances in
their testimonies of their often
immediate and safe response
to his products. Whether it’s
clearing brain fog or reversing
signs of advanced neurologic
degenerative disease, my
patients have a positive
response.
CM: It’s so true; it is essential
to look at a patient’s “whole
picture”, rather than just a piece
of their health puzzle. Infection
is just one component. Do
Byron White Formulas help you to achieve this caliber of
holistic and comprehensive treatment with patients?
Dr. C: Yes. Holistic medical care is mandatory in my
opinion, if one expects to truly heal any patient. This thereby
necessitates considering the ‘whole picture’ when diagnosing
and treating a patient. After many years of intense scientific
and allopathic study and patient care, as well as study of
and practice with alternative or integrative modalities, my
approach necessarily includes the integration of the best of
Western and Eastern Medicine. We are complex beings and
both illness and wellness are mulitfactorial. True Healing
is achieved only once all contributing issues have been
identified and considered.

Your Health Begins
Here By Sunil Pai, MD and Maureen Sutton, LMT #5221
Sanjevani Integrative Medicine Health & Lifestyle Center is excited to announce that
it will be moving to its brand new location at 9001 Holly Avenue in August, 2012!
Sanjevani, ABQ’s premier authentic Integrative Medicine
Health & Lifestyle Center is excited to announce that
it will be moving to its brand new location at 9001
Holly Avenue, Albuquerque, 87122 in August, 2012. The
new campus will be across the street (on the North side of
the Albertson’s) located just off Paseo del Norte at Ventura
and Holly Avenues, near Trader Joe’s.
Sanjevani is raising the standard of Holistic health care
to a new level and creating another first for New Mexico—
constructing a brand new Integrative Medicine Center from
the ground up. Sanjevani has grown its reputation through
word-of-mouth from its patients; by spending quality time
with each patient and helping them to succeed in improving
their health. They have, in return, referred their family and
friends. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to
ABQ and our patients by providing them with a beautiful
new community-based health center that will offer some
really exciting new services in addition to ongoing services.
ORGANIC VEGAN RESTAURANT: A new healthy
eating option for
ABQ! Featuring local
organic foods, the
new vegan restaurant
will serve healthy
comfort foods and a variety of cultural cuisines. It will
offer new choices for those with gluten sensitivities or
food allergies. This will truly be an innovative restaurant
where the whole family can eat a delicious, healthy meal at
affordable prices and socialize in the NE Heights area.
ORGANIC FAIR TRADE COFFEE/ VEGAN ICE
CREAM/JUICE BAR: A new local hang out for those who
want healthy drinks and snacks on the
go. This café will serve organic, fair trade
coffees, vegan ice cream and organic
juices and shakes…a healthy alternative
for after-school snacks, bicycle riders
heading for the hills or a quick pick-meup
after yoga class, massage or medical
appointment.
SANJEVANI STORE: Sanjevani is home of Bosmeric-
SR, the strongest natural anti-inflammatory available,
with patented ingredients in a bilayered caplet—providing
sustained release for over 8 hours. With the
success of Bosmeric-SR, we have introduced
new products into our Sanjevani brand such
as our delicious new plant-based protein
shakes: Vegan Sustain and Vegan Strengthen.
The Sanjevani Store plans to carry even more
specialty medical foods to support our patients with gluten
sensitivities and food allergies.
PATIENT PORTAL CONNECT: Don’t have time for a
follow-up visit to your doctor? Would you like to be able
to email your doctor with questions, or wish you could use
Skype for your follow-up visit? Now you can. Sanjevani is
the first in NM to provide their patients with Portal Connect.
This service will allow patients the option to access their
personal health records, request prescription renewals,
review lab results, email questions and make video followup
consults with the doctor. This service is HIPPA certified
and is as secure as your online banking information. You can
upload all of your medical information from all healthcare
providers (including healthcare providers outside of
Sanjevani or those out of state) and have access at anytime.
You can have your medication and supplement lists and
other health recommendations at your fingertips. You can
enter in vitals such as weight, blood pressure, etc. and it will
graph it and keep track of it for you. As an additional bonus
of being a Portal Connect patient, you will be able to receive
discounts and earn cash back on purchases for more than
300,000,000 products from over 5,000 leading merchants.
Come in and let us explain the benefits of becoming a
Sanjevani Portal Connect member.
FLOTATION POD: The new
Sanjevani campus will include the
latest in float tank technology; the
first of its kind in New Mexico. You
will have to see and experience it to
believe it. While floating in a highly
concentrated saline solution, the pressure of gravity is taken
off the joints and muscles and the whole body relaxes into
a state of complete physical and mental well being. Floating
is great for anyone suffering from insomnia, anxiety or
chronic pain. Just 45 minutes in the deep “alpha wave state”
is equivalent to about 4-5 hours of sleep. Recent studies show
up to 70% of participants had ZERO pain after 3 sessions.
16 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net

Floating boosts immune function, improves circulation and
reduces blood pressure and heart rate. A regular float is
highly beneficial for athletes, speeding recovery from strain
or injury.
YOGA STUDIO: Take a Hatha Yoga class from Maureen
Sutton, RYT/LMT. Trained in Dharmashala India,
Maureen emphasizes yoga as a way of
life. Her classes include classic Hath Yoga
asanas, pranayama (breathing), meditation
and shatkriyas (cleansing). Sanjevani’s
new yoga studio is also spacious enough
to hold small conferences and seminars.
It connects to a covered patio, so yoga and
other events can also be performed outside in the open air
when weather permits.
PANCHAKARMA (PK): PK is a complete Ayurvedic
detoxification program. Our unique PK services are
provided by Maureen Sutton RYT/LMT, nationally
recognized spa director and
Ayurvedic Massage Therapy
Trainer. She worked for the Chopra
Center for 6 years where she
provided these wonderful healing
services to A-list celebrities,
politicians, musicians, and now
offers them to local Albuquerque
residents. New luxurious treatments along with organic
vegan meals on site will take the PK experience to a new
level. If you are interested in PK, please come in and speak
to Maureen personally. She can custom design a program
specifically for you.
MASSAGE: Sanjevani’s Rejuvenating
Massages and Therapies use the freshest,
most natural and efficacious products
and procedures available. Massages
range from Swedish to Ayurvedic
Massages and treatments including
Visceral Manipulation.
ALLERGY DROPS THERAPY: Sanjevani is the first in
ABQ to provide Allergy Drops Therapy
(sublingual immunotherapy). We have
had great success! Our patients who
have undergone treatment and are now
free of their allergy symptoms, have
stronger immune systems. A simple
blood test can tell if you if you suffer
from seasonal allergies (i.e. juniper, cottonwood, ragweeds,
grasses, trees, molds, cats, dogs, dust mites, etc) or have food
allergies (i.e. corn, soy, eggs, dairy, etc). Allergy drops are
prescribed based on your individual test results. Take one
drop under the tongue three times daily. No refrigeration,
no shots, no pain. Easy to use, fantastic results! Get to the
root cause of allergies rather than take lifelong medications
and supplements that only treat the symptoms.

BIA: Body Impedance Analysis is a clinical assessment of
tissue and fluid compartments in the human body. Body
composition analysis is used in preventative and therapeutic
applications. A BIA session will give you an indication of
your general fitness level.
THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIES, EDUCATIONAL
EVENTS, COOKING CLASSES:
Sanjevani movie nights have been entertaining and
educational. Sanjevani has shown movies like Fat, Sick
and Nearly Dead and Forks over Knives in the past. As new
informational movies and documentaries are released,
Sanjevani will invite the public for viewing and lively
discussion with Dr. Pai and team.
Educational Events are held from time-to-time at the
request of our patients or special health support groups.
During these events, we will cover topics such as controlling
diabetes, reading food and skin care product labels. Cooking
classes featuring plant-based recipes are followed by eating
and nutritional question and answer sessions.
Watch for Sanjevani’s Grand Opening announcements coming
soon! Sanjevani Integrative Medicine Health & Lifestyle Center,

Group Coaching...
at it’s best! By Janet L. Hall, ND, CKP, CMI, CHt, CBT
“I’d like to share my experience in one of the groups that Janet
Hall has formed. I find tremendous benefits in being a part
of this group! It’s amazing to me how much I’ve gained from
the group and I very much look forward to watching how my
life unfolds. I’ve always known the power in 2 or more people
gathered together, and this is a prime example of the power in a
group. Janet is extremely intuitive, so as she forms these groups,
it is with like-minded people and we all help one another in
many ways! I am very grateful for the people in this group and
how they have added value to what I aim to accomplish. I am
extremely grateful to have such a leader - not only of knowledge
in the field, but also with her level of intuitive guidance. It’s truly
a gift to myself in being in this group! Blessings...”
Darlene, ABQ
In my last article, I wrote about coaching and how you can
have amazing results with guided interpersonal Kinesiology.
Your higher self decides your every step; what is in your
highest interests, and how to get you to a higher state of life.
When you take all the guesswork out of it and you have a clear
path to follow, designed by none other than your higher self...
you get to live the life you were really meant to live!
Now we have another wonderful option for you to take
advantage of…group coaching! For many, this is another
great avenue to success that is more cost effective than
individual sessions!
Join our “Positivity” Group (up to 15 people):
• This group runs on unconditional love, with acceptance of
each other while encouraging growth. You will find yourself
making quick changes in yourself and your life with ease!
• You will experience de-stressing, reprocessing techniques
and integrations to gain a healthier, happier relationship
with yourself and others.
• You will learn how to let go of limiting beliefs or thought
patterns, increase your health and finances and much more!
• Discover who is draining to your life energy and who is
supportive to your goals and values.
• You will receive a free bracelet with positive biofeedback
frequencies to achieve a higher resonance that helps bring
you fast results.
Or, try our more intimate Business/Personal
Coaching Groups (up to 5 or 6 people):
In our smaller groups of 5 or 6, people meet at a coffee house
or restaurant where it is a comfortable, convenient setting for
sharing, while enjoying a cup of tea.
Business Coaching Groups provide the following:
• Ideas & information sharing – Others have done what you

are setting out to accomplish and can be a valuable aid and
resource to you for your projects!
• Help in outlining and breaking down the various steps to
achieving your goals. If you are starting a new business,
trying to expand or find new avenues of income it can feel
overwhelming. It becomes simple and easy to manage when
broken down in segments.
• Accountability – Having a group to report to as you
complete your action steps is a great way to get things
accomplished quickly. Your progress is acknowledged.
• Reward – We have found that most people do not acknowledge
or reward themselves for the small steps they take; so
many times they do not get to their larger tasks for that very
reason!
• Manifesting your goals – Intention is amazing! Now
multiply that by five or six! Group resonance is a powerful
thing. Ongoing support and intentions for yourself and
others helps everyone achieve greater things.
Our Personal Improvement Groups help with:
• Personal issues where therapy may be too costly.
• Relationship and family problems.
• Self-worth and self-esteem, confidence issues & much
more.

for discussion and sharing such as:
• Overcoming self sabotage
• Using gratitude and intention for achieving your goals and
dreams
• Time management
• How to create more space in your life
• Upholding boundaries
• Handling addictions
• Self-empowerment…and many more topics
Information, handouts and free items
are a part of each group. You may choose
to keep your sharing within your journal or
share vocally within the group each session.
You will receive support from your group for your challenges
and be able to encourage others!

Mercury-Free Dentistry in a
Mercury Safe Office
Obama Advocates Keeping Our Kids Mercury Safe by Bill Wolfe, DDS, NMD
President Obama stated recently in his speech at Ohio State University that “The strength of our
country lies in keeping our children safe from toxic waste dumping and mercury exposure.”
I
certainly agree, as the major emphasis of my professional
life for the past three decades has been to keep my
patients, myself, and my staff safe from toxic mercury
exposure.
Did you know that the seemingly routine act of unsafely
removing mercury/silver/amalgam fillings places the patient,
the dental staff, and the environment at risk of occupational
exposure to toxic mercury vapor that far exceeds all of the
government’s regulatory agencies
minimal industrial safety
standards for mercury vapor?
There is a significant difference
between being “mercury-free”
and “mercury-safe”! Today, 52%
of general dentists no longer
place mercury/amalgam fillings.
However, more and more people
are aware of the toxic effects of
mercury, and they want to know
if they are being protected at the
dental office. It’s no longer enough to just be mercury-free.
After all, the greatest exposure to mercury vapor at the
dental office occurs not when amalgam fillings are placed,
but when they are unsafely removed!
My Safe Removal Guidelines for Amalgam Fillings
1. IV vitamin C: After bio-compatibility testing of the
dental materials to be utilized in the replacement
of the mercury/amalgam fillings, the patient is then
administered an IV vitamin C (optional to patient) by
one of our nurses. (I have used IV vitamin C in my
protocols for 30 years now, since being introduced to
the procedure by Dr. Hal Huggins in 1979.) Vitamin
C is a “ligand” (heavy metal attractor) and is felt to be
a protective measure to the patient during mercury/
amalgam removal.
2. Keeping the fillings cool during removal: Drilling
out an amalgam filling generates a tremendous amount
of heat, which causes a significant increase in the
release of mercury, both as a vapor and in amalgam
particles, during the entire removal process. Cooling
the filling with copious amounts of water while drilling
20 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net
substantially reduces the amount of mercury vapor
released. Mercury is not water soluble, therefore, it is
necessary to use large volumes of air/water to direct
the mercury vapor and amalgam particles into the high
volume suction, which is held closely to the operative
site.
3. Sectioning the amalgam into chunks for removal:
This procedure involves less drilling, and therefore
less mercury vapor emission and
particulate matter.
4. Isolating the tooth and
using high-volume air suction:
I use a high volume evacuation
device called a “Clean-Up”, which
was developed in Scandinavia and
is recommended by the IAOMT
(International Association of
Oral Medicine and Toxicology).
I feel that proper isolation of the
amalgam filled tooth is one of the most important tools
in minimizing the patient’s exposure to mercury vapor
and amalgam particles. The design is a Teflon box which
encloses the tooth and filling and has a suction tube attached
to one of the walls of the box to suction mercury
vapor and particulate matter. It dramatically reduces
splatter of particles, directing them efficiently into the
suction tube. Previously, it was believed that a “rubber
dam” would sufficiently protect the patient from breathing
mercury vapor and amalgam particles. We now
know that mercury vapor can pass through a rubber
dam made of latex, so even though the dam may serve as
a particulate barrier, it does not protect the patient from
inhaling mercury vapor during the removal process. In
addition, it can be a bit uncomfortable for the patient,
and some patients simply cannot tolerate its use.
5. Homeopathic injections: After removal of the
mercury/amalgams and the usual underlying decay,
I flush the interior of the tooth with homeopathics to
desensitize the tooth. Then I also inject the associated
organ acupuncture meridians in the mouth with
homeopathics to re-energize the energy flow of the
acupuncture meridian energy channels.

6. Alternative air source: Provide the patient with an
alternative source of air. During the actual removal,
the patient should be provided with a nasal hood, or
oxygen and nitrous oxide. The patient is instructed
to breathe through their nose and to avoid breathing
through their mouth, while the mercury amalgam
silver fillings are being removed.
7. Air evacuation in work area: In my offices, we use
an additional air filtering system, called a “DentAir-
Vac” that is placed as close to the patient’s mouth as
is practical. The more popular filtering units resemble
an elephant’s trunk and have openings about 4 inches
in diameter. This evacuation of the work area is not
only important for the residual exposure to patient, but
especially for the reduced exposure to the dentist and
assistant. Without such a vacuum unit in place, I have
personally measured (with my Jerome mercury vapor
analyzer) readings in the work area much higher than
the PEL (permissible exposure limit) for OSHA and the
REL (recommended exposure limit) values for NIOSH.
As OSHA states, “A worker’s exposure level to mercury
vapor shall at no time exceed this ceiling level”.
Note: In my previous articles, I have also stated how
I routinely measure mercury vapor readings much
higher than the above OSHA exposure limit values in
the patient’s mouth...from just one mercury/amalgam
filling!
8. Clean up immediately: After the fillings have been
removed and replaced, the dentist and assistant should
immediately remove and dispose of the patient’s
protective covering and thoroughly clean their face
and neck.
9. Activated charcoal: Once the filling(s) have been
removed and replaced, the dentist and the assistant
should remove and dispose of their gloves and the
Clean-Up suction, then thoroughly rinse and vacuum
the patient’s entire mouth for at least 15 seconds. I
use an energized form of powdered charcoal, after
the mercury/amalgam fillings have been removed.
The patient sits up in the chair and is given a diluted
amount of the charcoal to swish in their mouth for
15 seconds and then spit out. This will help to bind
amalgam particles and residual mercury vapor from
the mouth. The patient should make every effort not
to swallow during the rinsing procedure. I also suggest
that after the rinsing procedure, the patient use a small
amount of water and gargle as far back into his throat
as possible. The patient should not swallow this watery
residue! Instead, they should spit it into a second cup
provided to them.
10. Additional air purification: I use air filters in all of
my operatories. It is important that the air circulating

in the operatory is as clean as
possible at all times.
11. Negative Ion Generators: When
removing amalgam fillings, the
vapor from the fillings releases
into the air. The negative ion
generators help to capture the mercury in a filter thus
reducing exposure to patient, dentist, and assistant.
12. Environmental concerns: Whether an office places
mercury fillings or not, both mercury-free and promercury
offices have to remove these same mercury/
amalgam fillings and potentially contribute this major
heavy metal toxin into the wastewater. Our office has
a double tier defense to the addition of mercury to the
waste water. We use a particulate filtering system in
the operatory units, along with a mercury filter in the
main drain line from the office. Dentistry has been a
major contributor to mercury in the wastewater, and
I am proud to say for many years now that my office
is conscious of this fact and has been striving to be
environmentally responsible.
There is no minimum amount of mercury
exposure which can be considered safe.

Beautiful Landscaping
Adds Value
By Rhonda Owen, Perpetual Landscape
When you create beautiful landscaping
for your home, you will certainly enjoy
your outdoor spaces much more.
Your neighbors will appreciate and enjoy it, your
home value increases which also affects the neighborhood in a
positive way.
Tips for Summer (July-August):
Potted plants: Easy to work with and can be
moved around to create just the right look.
Prune shrubs: Do this as needed, and make
sure they are getting adequate water. (Be careful
not to overwater however.) When watering, slow and deep is
the way to go. It promotes deeper root growth.
Roots will rise in search of water, breaking
sprinkler pipes if they are thirsty.
Mulch: Very good for our hot months. Use
with your spring flower plantings to reduce
weeds. Mulch also helps the soil retain water, nourishing the
roots underneath well into the hot, dry summer.
Landscape Maintenance: Prevention is
the key component here. Plan on walking
through your garden at least once a week to
pull weeds, dead heads, spent flowers and
to monitor plant conditions. A single weed
can mature in a few weeks, often scattering hundreds of seeds.
As a woman landscaper, you may find that I am more meticulous
and gentle with your project. My team and I will take the time
to do your project right; communicating with you every step of
the way. We are hard working, polite and experienced. My rates
are very reasonable and reflect more my love of this work than
my desire to get rich doing it. In business for seven years, I have
many satisfied customers and references. Call me to schedule

Can a Computer
Replace Your Doctor?
By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM
Imagine a breast screening appointment that
takes minutes, is totally painless and doesn’t
require radiation. It sounds like something out
of the future, but it is available here in Albuquerque
and is called thermography. Thermography uses a camera to
record the heat being emitted from the body. It has been around
as long as mammography but most women are only familiar
with mammograms.
Despite the massive media campaigns promoting “breast
health checks” with mammograms, women are doing fewer
mammograms. In May of 2011, CNN Health reported that “the
use of mammograms has dipped” and has been confirmed in
several studies.
In early May of this year (2012) the American Society
of Breast Surgeons published a study titled “Infrared
Thermography Not a Useful Breast Cancer Screening Tool”.
Really??? The study was promoted by HealthFlash Marketing
and could very well be a response to the fact that more and
more women do not want to do mammograms.
The study referred to thermography as NTBS (no touch
breast screening) and used a computerized analysis program
to interpret thermographic images. The thermograms in the
study were analyzed by a computer; not a doctor.
It is interesting to note that the National Cancer Institute
reports on their web site a study titled “Computer-Aided
Detection Reduces the Accuracy of Mammograms”. The NCI
says “computer-aided interpretation of mammograms was less
accurate than interpretation without a computer’s help and
that computer software designed to improve mammogram
interpretation may actually make it worse.”
What these studies prove is that computerized analysis
does not provide the best results for breast screening with
thermography or mammography. At this point in time,
nothing replaces a doctor’s interpretation of images. At the
Thermography Center, our thermograms are always analyzed
by specially trained M.D.s. This is not a competition between
mammograms and thermograms; it is about giving women
choices and providing the earliest possible detection for the
best possible outcomes.

How To Know If You Have a Book
Inside of You, Trying to Get Out
By Tom Bird, Author University
one time or another, have words just seemed to pour out
of you, onto a keyboard or in longhand?
Have you received compliments on your writing, even if it was
just something you had written on a holiday or birthday card?
Have you ever been told that you should write a book?
Do you love to read?
Have you ever caught yourself staring at a best seller list,
almost as if you were looking for your name on it?
If you answered ‘yes’ to three or more of the above
questions, you have a book inside of you trying to get out…
which wouldn’t make you any different than, according to The
New York Times, 81% of Americans.
How do I Know?
Because I have worked with over 80,000 aspiring writers
over the last thirty years. In fact, I have developed a system to
birth their books and, at current, the average author I work
with gives birth to his/her book in an average of two days.
If you have a book stuck inside of you trying to get out,
what can you do?
What my experience has shown is that the books stuck
inside of us are our most faithful friends, because they never
desert us and are our biggest nags; because they never desert us.
My experience also tells me that these books exist outside of
us and appear to be their own beings, with their own destinies
and purposes. Thus, our job is to release them, because they
were already written on some other plane and are ready to be
delivered.
I know this may sound a bit odd. However, I am far from
the first author to believe this to be the case. In fact, just about
every author I have studied believed that the books that they
wrote appeared to write themselves. How could that be the
case unless they had already been composed and were just
waiting to be released?
So it comes down to this: as undeserving or unprepared
as you may feel, you either get in line with the divine purpose
represented by your book and prosper, or continue to remain
in line with that which you were taught to believe about
yourself, and suffer. It’s as simple as that.
And that is exactly what I have seen transpire in my classes,
workshops and retreats for the last three decades. When an
author comes into alignment with his/her voice, purpose,
message through the writing of a book, entire lives change,
often in miraculous fashion.
Nuff said.
If you are one of those persons who are ready to take the
step of writing your book, no matter what it is or for whatever
reason, I can help. This work has become my ministry and I
take it as seriously as anything in my life. I feel I have been
given the method and ability to lead you to make your literary
dreams come true.
Want to hear more? I will be appearing at the following
locales on July 28 and 29. I hope you can find the time to join
me. (See Classes/Workshops section for more info).

TRULY ALIVE FEATURE SECTION
A Powerful Interview with
Barbara Marx Hubbard
and an overview of her newest book
Birth 2012 and Beyond; Humanity’s Great Shift
to the Age of Conscious Evolution
by Karen Larré, Wendy Foxworth and Robin Gardner
Aprolific author, visionary,
social innovator, evolutionary
thinker and educator, Barbara
Marx Hubbard is considered
the mother of conscious evolution and
has been recognized as “the voice for
conscious evolution of our time” by
Deepak Chopra. She is the subject of Neale
Donald Walsch’s new book The Mother of
Invention. Barbara has authored seven
acclaimed books on the new worldview
of conscious evolution including The
Hunger of Eve, The Revelation, Conscious
Evolution, Emergence and the 52 Codes
for Conscious Self Evolution. Barbara
is cofounder of the Foundation for
Conscious Evolution and has cofounded
many progressive organizations including
the Association for Global New Thought
and the World Future Society. In 1984, her
name was placed in nomination for the
vice presidency on the Democratic ticket
with the campaign theme, “To Fulfill
the Dream, a Campaign for a Positive
Future.” Barbara Marx Hubbard was one
of the first women ever nominated for
the vice presidency of the United States.
Since 2010, she has partnered with The
Shift Network and has served as a global
ambassador for the conscious evolution
move-ment,
which she defines
as “a shift from
evolution by
chance to evolution
by choice.”
Truly Alive:
What is the
difference between
conscious
and unconscious
evolution?
Barbara Marx Hubbard: Evolution itself
has been intelligent for billions of years,
but the entities involved in evolution
have not been conscious of evolution. We
are the first generation to be conscious
that we are affecting evolution with
everything we do; the food we eat, the
cars we drive, the babies we have. If we
continue growing this way, within the
womb of our finite earth system, we could
destroy ourselves. So conscious evolution
starts out with a signal that we are able
to destroy ourselves. The other side of
conscious evolution is the awareness that
we can now evolve ourselves consciously.
In the simplest terms, it becomes
evolution by choice; not by chance.
TA: The book beautifully describes the
shift—how we (all of humanity) are in
the process of moving to a new level of
consciousness. If I were attuned to being
aware of how this new consciousness was
unfolding/being revealed in my life, what
kinds of things would I be thinking, saying
or doing?
BMH: You would feel an awakening from
within; a yearning to participate more
fully in expressing your creativity and
potential for the sake of yourself and the
world. You would begin to feel what I call
“the impulse of evolution” activating you;
in whatever stage you’re in; whatever your
age; you would feel a new intensity. You
would be thinking about what to do and
deepening your spiritual path. You would
be in touch with spirit within and doing
spiritual practices such as HearthMath’s
deepening of your love. You would be
called to do the Emergence Process, of
shifting from ego to essence. You would
begin to feel your essence as your identity;
no longer projecting that higher self
outside of you; but feeling your higher self
within. You would be beginning to see, “I
am my higher self. I am that expression.”
Then you’d be wanting to find others to
share this with.
TA: As with your other books, interviews
and your platform in running for the
1984 vice presidency, you focus on what’s
working well in the world versus what’s
wrong. Why is focusing on what works so
important to us in making the planetary
shift to higher level consciousness?
BMH: It’s like your health; if you only
focus on pain and things that are wrong
with you, you are not going to be very
well or experience improvement in your
health. When you focus on what’s creative,
what’s loving and emerging…then
you begin to accentuate and accelerate
those positive aspects and opportunities.
Whatever you put your attention on; you
get more of in your life. We have a media
nervous system that is far more sensitive
to what is breaking down than what is
breaking through. I call this the ‘infantile
nervous system of the mass media.’ It
is insensitive to empathy. It’s insensitive
to emergence and what’s growing. It’s
insensitive to the new news. So, it’s very
important that we start to notice in our
own lives and in our communities; what’s
already emerging that’s creative, loving
and working well!
TA: Why is it vital that we shift from ego
to essence? Please tell our readers a bit
about this.
BMH: Ego is a word used in many ways. I
am defining it here as the part of ourselves
that feels separate. I also call it our “local
self.” It can feel compulsive, anxious,
competitive, and like a failure. All of the
concerns that we feel emotionally reside
in one aspect of our personality or local
self. The essential self is your own true
nature; your spiritual essence. When you
24 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net

are your essential self, you feel whole and
at peace. You are at one with everything.
You feel good; you feel love. I realized in
my life that I could put my attention on
my ego or my essence. When I put my
focus on my essence, it began to come in
the whole way. And then the ego, or “local
self” fell in love with its own essence.
I began to shift identity and I could say
“I am my own essence, and not my ego.”
As you begin to identify with your own
essence, and you share that with 2 or more
(as in an evolutionary shift circle—more
details later in this article), the resonance,
resounding back & forth—essence with
essence—very quickly starts to form a
field of awareness that stabilizes in you. I
say to most people; don’t try to do this all
alone. When you apply the “where two or
more are gathered” to planetary events,
the connection and coherence created
and the truth that “the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts” is magnificently
powerful.
TA: What is the sacred story of Creation?
BMH: It is the story of the universe;
starting from the infinite, silent mind
of God and its cosmic intelligence. It is
the rising up of energy and matter, into
billions and billions of galaxies and
the formation of trillions of planetary
systems including our planet earth. It is
the animal life and human life on earth…
and now our awareness of our own
evolution and our affect on it. No matter
what your opinion of it is, it’s a complete
mystery story. If you are a creationist
and think God did it all…that’s totally
mysterious. If you are a materialistic
scientist and think it was all by accident,
it’s even more mysterious. I personally
think that Universal Intelligence is
coming up through everything and that
we are becoming conscious of it now.
TA: What is “vocational arousal”?
BMH: Vocational arousal is the next
step after sexual arousal. It’s a signal
from nature. Your vocation is that inner
creativity, calling, or life purpose; it’s
what you feel born to do. Vocational
arousal is the calling of your life’s
purpose. When there’s shared vocational
arousal (2 or more needing each other’s
callings or capabilities), what begins to
happen is what I call ‘joining genius’. In
sexual arousal, you join genes and create
this amazing new being. When we join
genius, one person reaches out to connect
and the other responds..
TA: In the book, you coined the term
“Supra Sex”. Please explain.
BMH: When I talk about Supra Sexual
co-creation, I see that vocational arousal
will become the larger part of your life.
Having and raising children takes a huge
amount of energy in the context of getting
a job or earning a living. If you find others
to co-create with, to join your genius
with, I am suggesting that this is our next
stage of sexuality. We know that nature
put the sexual drive in us to reproduce
the species; and there’s a population limit
in order to sustain the earth. That same
drive to reproduce is becoming the drive
to self express and self evolve through
joining genius; through Supra Sex.
Another word for this is co-creation. I
think we are shifting from maximum
procreation to co-creation. We’re living
longer lives and I feel we will have fewer
children one way or the other (hopefully
chosen children). I see a shift from
large families and dying young to fewer
children and living longer lives.
Previously women after menopause
thought they were aging and dying.
Actually, now we are just about to give
birth to the authentic feminine self. It’s a
whole new thing!
TA: You talk about being aligned with the
evolutionary impulse of creation—how
does one get in touch with that impulse
and why is it important?
BMH: The impulse really is to fully
be our highest potential selves; to give
birth to the expressions that we feel are
intrinsically ours. It is when we feel
connected to others who need what
we have to give. That impulse is now
activated in millions of us to do more,
be more and connect with each other.
The evolutionary shift toward a planetary
community is a movement of people who
are excited about expressing more of who
they are—connected!
TA: Can you share about your concept
of “social synergy” (converging positive
innovations that can transform all sectors
of society)?
BMH: Synergy can be seen easily in nature.
As single cells form into multi-cellular
animals, they become more complex.
This goes up the chain of complexity
until you get to humans; who have the
most complex brains and body systems
on earth. When you look at planet earth
itself as a whole; it’s ‘complexifying’; it’s
connecting ever faster. Another example
of synergy is when one person has an innovation
and another has a goal. One person
has a resource that matches another’s
need. Co-creation occurs naturally. Social
synergy would be the supporting,
encouraging and connecting common
goals; matching our needs with other
people’s resources. Instead of a massive,
competitive world, we would have a massive
cooperative, co-creative world. It
would create a massive rearrangement in
every current system; and our political
system would probably be the most dramatic.
Imagine a world where we all work
co-create together, for the good of all. It’s
possible and we have the most powerful
opportunity to do this now…more than
ever before in recorded earth history!
TA: What is global coherence, and how do
we begin to cultivate it?
BMH: Global coherence is when we
have a critical mass of people connected
to the heart. We’ve had a few moments
of it. With 911, we had a moment of
global coherence in the form of shared
pain. With the lunar landing, there
was a moment of global coherence that
was quite wonderful. When practically
everyone on earth was paying attention
to the suffering of the Japanese people,
there was global coherence. It is possible
to have global coherence now…with
enough people coming together, feeling
unified, feeling at one with each other
and the planet, in resonance with a higher
frequency. It’s now possible that this
could shift the whole system.
TA: The book describes the process we (and
the earth) are undergoing as a birthing.
What can we (as individuals) do to help
“gentle the birth”?
BMH: It starts really with your own inner
being and feeling at one with the source
of your own essence, essential being,
God, spirit; and then incarnating that
spirit as your own essence and feeling
love for others. Using one HeartMath
technique, you put your hand on your
heart; breathe through your heart and
think of what you appreciate. I would
add that you realize you are part of the
evolutionary process and your creativity
is part of your breath. I breathe into my
life purpose and the impulse of evolution.
As I am breathing into my purpose, I get
guidance as to how to do it.
TA: In the book, you site numerous
examples of how Teilhard de Chardin’s
work has influenced you. Can you speak to
how it “enlarged your evolutionary soul?”
Is there anything else you would like to
share about his work?
continued on p26
Truly Alive | July/August 2012 25

Barbara Marx Hubbard Interview cont’d from p26
BMH: Teilhard de Chardin was a great Catholic Jesuit
paleontologist (never published by the church). In the simplest
terms, he discovered the design and pattern of God in evolution.
He was able to identify the impulse of a higher consciousness…
to greater freedom; to more complex order as an innate pattern
of evolution that is Divine. He saw that planet earth itself
was becoming one whole living system. He didn’t live to see
the internet. His vision of the planet connecting through its
thinking and empathetic heart level (like were doing right now
on this phone, and internet, on Facebook and cell phones) was
clear. It’s the nervous system linking all of us. He described
a thinking/feeling layered system that would at some point
connect heart with heart and center with center…that we would
all feel connected. He and Buckminster Fuller have been my
greatest teachers.
TA: Can you share something about the evolutionary leaders you
chose as your key colleagues in your work around the planetary
shift? (Jean Houston, Jack Canfield, Michael Beckwith and
others.)
BMH: I received deep guidance (in my work with the Shift
Network—the publisher of this book and my online program)
that if we want to make the next step, I should create a welcome
committee; and that it would include people whose deep
spiritual impulse is moving into the next stage of evolution. I
chose 12 people and they all said yes. We are coming together in
a variety of ways to host the birth of conscious evolution, just as
one tiny microcosm of the larger planetary shift. We’re already
shifting. You see, this is not about maybe we’ll do it sometime.
We are it. The essays of the 12 members of the welcoming
committee in Birth 2012, including those of Michael Beckwith,
Neale Donald Walsch, Jean Houston, etc., are exceptionally
poignant and powerful.
TA: Barbara, you have always been so far ahead of your time
in seeing, feeling and understanding the evolutionary process of
humanity on earth. How does it feel to know that many are finally
realizing the truths you have been sharing and taking action to
participate in positive ways?
BMH: It’s really stunning and my message to all visionaries is
“don’t die!” I think it’s natural when you have some great life
impulse to express, that you feel it’s what you are born to do. If
you say yes to it, that’s the big ‘yes’ and you start taking steps
in that direction. The more you do it, the more it activates you.
The more it activates you, the better you do it. It’s self-rewarding
type of action. If you keep doing it and it’s truly life-oriented, it’s
going to happen in the larger world. I am 82 years old. My vision
came in 1966. That’s why I say, ‘don’t die,’ because it could take
a long while!
TA: Please tell our readers about the Evolutionary Circles
that you are creating, and how someone can become involved,
including our local area.
BMH: Evolutionary circles provide a way to deepen your own
consciousness and connect with others who are seeking to do
the same. There are wonderful opportunities for readers to get
involved with circles and even to start new circles. The Center
for Conscious Living in Albuquerque is launching Evolutionary
Circle groups starting in July. Read more on page 36 to learn about
what’s happening in the Albuquerque area. At www.Birth2012.
com, readers will find information on the Vistar Method of
creating circles and can also sign up for my Agents of Conscious
Evolution Training, learn the whole story and their parts in it.
Click on “ACE” (Agents of Conscious Evolution). We are now
connecting with thousands of people. People who complete the
training become part of a community of pioneering souls. It is
really a great joy.
TA: I understand that you will be in Albuquerque for an event in
September. Can you tell us about that?
BMH: Albuquerque is a wonderful center of consciousness.
I look forward to being in your community and am hoping
that many people there will want to take an active part in the
planetary birth. I will be speaking at the Wisdom of the Origins
Conference, September 16th from 5:30-6:30pm. The conference
is September 13 - 17th at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel in
Albuquerque. (More info on page 27.)
TA: Is there anything else you would like my readers to know
about?
BMH: I am teaching two courses on the Shift Network (www.
theshiftnetwork.com). Agents of Conscious Evolution is bringing
thousands of participants together to form a first “evolutionary
corps” as a global team for the planetary shift. The other,
with Patricia Ellsberg, is entitled Emergence: The Shift from
Ego to Essence (based on my newest book, Emergence). Along
with Birth 2012, Emergence represents my best work to date.
I am also currently co-producing a global multi-media event
entitled Birth 2012: Co-Creating a Planetary Shift in Time with
Stephen Dinan, CEO of the Shift Network. This aims to unify
100 million people worldwide in heart coherence and social
synergy to celebrate what is working and creative in the world,
to birth a new “evolved” era and a more “universal humanity.”

Wisdom from the Origins Conference
By Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, President of SEED Institute
Are you ready for the changes of 2012 and beyond?
This September 13th-17th, at the Marriott Pyramid in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, the conference of the year
is coming. This timely conference is called: Wisdom from the
Origins: The Mayan Calendar and Other Prophecies on the
Future of Humanity and it brings together Indigenous elders,
social visionaries, ecologists, philosophers, healers, and experts
on the Mayan calendar—more than 30 in all—to one place.
Barbara Marx Hubbard, Marianne Williamson, Gregg
Braden, James O’Dea, Kenny Ausubel, Nina Simons, Robert
Sitler, and Kenneth Johnson are joined by the Head of the
Mayan Council of Elders, Don Alejandro; Grandmother
Flordemayo and 5 other members of The Council of 13
Indigenous Grandmothers, as well as Mayan daykeepers Tata
Pedro and Don Gaspar XIU; Hopi elders Vernon Masayesva
and Jerry Honawa; revered Maori Tohuna wisdom keeper
Rose Pere, Ohki Simine Forest, Leroy Little Bear; Sequoyah
Trueblood; Ac Tah, and many others. All are in service of
helping the people give birth to a new consciousness in this
pivotal year. For more information and to register, see www.
seedinstituteabq.org or call 505-792-2900.
How can the Mayan calendar and other prophecies help
humankind at this time? The Mayan calendars have been a
creative and effective vehicle for contemplating the larger cycles
of time, but there has also been a lot of misunderstanding,
uncertainty, and even panic around the Mayan calendar.
Wisdom from the Origins offers an unprecedented opportunity
to learn from the elders themselves and to participate in group
dialogue, storytelling, and ceremonies that promote balance,
harmony, and healing.
This is a profoundly co-creative moment, a time when
people of all traditions and races are being called to come
together to explore and re-discover what it means to be
human, and to re-orient to this new cycle. Now is a time for
preparation, for clearing away that which no longer serves, and
for inviting in different ways of thinking, being, and acting.
This conference provides a great service by helping those who
attend to clear, prepare, and be of service to others. Join in
circle as we co-create a better future together.
With opening ceremonies at Chaco Canyon and a special
performance by the renowned Dancing Earth Indigenous
Dance troupe, this is THE conference of 2012 that promises
to be relevant for a very long time into the future. www.
seedinstituteabq.org or 505-792-2900.

law which receives the impress of our thought and acts upon
it. I believe in the brotherhood of humanity, the Parenthood of
God, and the unity binding all together in one perfect whole.
I believe the Spirit is in the wind and wave, and manifests
Its presence throughout all Nature… But most completely
through our own minds and in our hearts. It proclaims our
livingness and Its lovingness.”
Give your children an opportunity to experience positive
spiritual teachings to experience a better life!

Walking the Medicine Wheel
Ignites a New World on Earth
By Phaeryn Sheehan, Ascended Masters Foundation
When we were tribes of people indigenous to our earth
land, time after time we created very sacred ways of
connecting to the Numinous…to the Divine Nature
of our physical world. We weren’t oriented to operating as a human
species in a linear way as we are today;
concerned about achievements and creating
better and better ways of competing in order
to ‘get somewhere.’
During those times, we were oriented to
operate in a sacred circular way of creating
our reality, for we saw the growth rings of
trees, the circular shape of nests...we saw that
the sacred form of circles were everywhere.
We realized that that form and symbol must
have been the most obvious representation of
the Universe.
It somehow seemed natural therefore,
to form ceremonial circles as a human
community in order to draw the vastness of
the Sky power to us—to protect, bless and
cause transformative spiritual experiences for us. Thus was
the beginning of the sacred ceremonial practice of walking
the Medicine Wheel, a natural circle of energy that united
the Earth and the Sky worlds on the horizontal plane of the
Four Directions in which we live. By ceremonially walking a
sacred circle like Wheel, our tribes experienced the wondrous
revelations from the Sky World of the mysteries of all Creation,
as well as pristine awareness of how to embrace them in such a
way that we felt ‘at one’ with all of Creation.
Fast forwarding to today, each of us can’t help but feel
burdened with the concern of how we, individually, can
contribute to our world becoming New. We are weary of the
constant threats of extinction to each of our Earth Mother’s
species; even to our own. It hasn’t escaped us that so many
talented individuals and skilled groups have already made
miraculous attempts at preventing the unnecessary loss of life,
earth resources and the sacred life renewing traditions of our
Ancestors—and failed.
We can’t deny that we often ask ourselves, ‘WHAT ELSE
CAN ANYONE OF US DO? The answer is whispered
constantly to us by our Spirit Ancestors, the simple and yet
profound answer of ‘RETURN TO THE SACRED EARTHLY
WAYS IN ORDER TO BUILD THE NEW’.
As the Ascended Master Community, we
are grappling with this divine instruction
and are striving to embrace and manifest this
wisdom in devoted and grounded ways as
much as possible. As part of our mission, we
are orchestrating monthly, all day Medicine
Wheel Pilgrimages to local sacred sites.
Walking a Medicine Wheel has always
provided us with spiritual medicine,
whatever cultural tradition we have been
exposed to. It:
• Roots us into the rhythmic heartbeat of our
Earth Mother
• Balances our inner and the outer masculine
and feminine frequencies
• Opens and heals our broken hearts
• Connects us with our Ancestors and their guidance
• Recovers our relationship with Mother Earth
• Makes our daily life a spiritual experience
Because December 21st celebrates the end of the Mayan
Calendar, we have organized this last Medicine Wheel Gathering
to take place at Chaco Canyon. Watching the Sun of the New
Times rise there on that date will be one of the most memorable
occasions of our lifetime. If you are interested in joining us then,
please make your reservations ASAP, because many people
from our area and beyond will converge. Fees for each Medicine
Wheel Gatherings differ depending upon our expenses, so call
me, Phaeryn Sheehan at 505-401-2527 or Marshall Estner at
505-850-2132 to find out more information and/or register.
We are gathering to walk Medicine Wheels on the
following dates, and we would love it if you would join us:
Sunday, July 22nd
Sunday, August 19th
Sunday, Sept. 23rd – to celebrate the Autumn Equinox
Sunday, Oct. 21st
Sunday, Nov.18th
Friday, Dec. 21st – to celebrate the Winter Solstice

Why Not Now???
By Bill Haggard, All About Health
[This is an advertisement.]
There are those with obvious health issues. And there
are those who don’t appear to have health issues, but
by observing their lifestyles and food choices, we
know they are likely heading for serious trouble if they don’t
make changes. There are individuals who appear to be perfect
specimens of health (runners, athletes, football players, etc.)
that just drop dead all of a sudden. And there are people who
have all the energy necessary to be good students, earn top
grades, go on to be doctors, lawyers, chemists, engineers or
have what it takes to excel in athletics. Are they healthy?
If you were born with a good constitution, there seems
to be no rules for you. You can smoke, drink, stay up late,
abuse substances and seem to not be affected. You can do it
again and again for long periods of time. Even though loved
ones wish and even plead for you to change—all requests fall
on deaf ears. You haven’t hit bottom yet. You are still highly
operational. You are operating on what I call Toxic Strength
(basically adrenalin).
Whenever our bodies are threatened, adrenalin is the
safety mechanism in place to protect us. It is our fight or flight
mechanism. This mechanism gives us extra strength when
needed, so we can fight and not feel the blows or run really fast
to get out of harm’s way. This wonderful safety mechanism was
not intended to be the way we operate on a daily basis. When
we do, eventually, we crash and burn.
Like it or not, our bodies have operating principles.
When we adhere to these principles, we can expect a more
abundant life mentally, emotionally and physically. It’s like
your automobile…if you give it the proper fuel, change the oil
and filter in a timely manner, do a tune up and maintenance
periodically, your vehicle will serve you well. But you can also
ignore these principles…buy cheap fuel, never change the oil
and filter, etc. Your car get you where you want to go, but you
are likely headed for a break down and major expense.
Many of us treat our personal vehicles (our bodies) as if
they have no operating principles. Then we expect them to run
optimally for 80+ years. What A Joke! Most Americans make
their choices for fueling (feeding) this body according to their
pleasure centers. (What tastes good and what’s convenient.)
Very few people pay attention to the other end - the elimination
system! If quantity out doesn’t equal quantity in (3 meals in
= 3 meals out), you are polluting yourself and heading for a
breakdown. You need to, have to, MUST, eliminate waste
proportionate to what you eat in order to have a healthy colon
(which contains approximately 60% of your immune system).
If you are not inputting proper fuel (preferably organic
fruits and vegetables, clean protein) and a minimum of (or no)
animal products, grains or stimulants (coffee, alcohol, dairy
tobacco), you are toxic; and toxicity is the source of all health
problems. This manifests in two ways. 1. Chronic fatigue 2.
Toxic strength. Your adrenals are either exhausted or working
overtime because of the toxic threat.
The time to start claiming your heritage of good health,
vitality, clear thinking, creativity and abundance and joy is
now. You are in charge. Don’t wait until after you have a stroke,
heart attack, chronic pain, emergency room visit or nursing
home stay. I can help get rid of years of toxic waste build-up.
Get a colonic or better still, a series of colonics. Why Not Now?

Unnecessary Dental
Treatment Concerns?
By Sandi Ganshaw, RDH, BS
“I worry that the dentist will tell me that I need
work that I don’t really need. One dentist said I
needed a root canal and another dentist said that
I didn’t.” “I don’t trust them. How do we know
they are telling us the truth?” Does either of these
statements apply to you? I have heard comments like these
many times from clients who feel they were subjected to dental
treatment plans that were just plain unnecessary. And while some
unnecessary treatment has been performed by some dentists,
I believe the vast majority of dentists strive to deliver the best
dental treatment possible. As in any profession, there a different
approaches to a particular issue.
Some dentists might take a more
conservative approach, while
others might feel better about a
more aggressive plan. Neither
is wrong; just different, thus the
variation in treatment plans.
If unnecessary dental
treatment is a concern, there
are ways to ensure that it doesn’t
happen to you. Your dental
professional should act as your
expert advisor; explaining the
need for treatment, and the
possible consequence of not having the treatment. We are bound
by a code of conduct, and not adhering it would be a violation.
If you have a question, ask your provider to explain until you
understand. If it still doesn’t seem right to you, get a 2nd opinion.
Be wary of the discount dental plans that get you in the
door with low prices then switch you to more expensive or
unnecessary treatment plans. Remember, “if it sounds too
good to be true…” The best way to find a dental home is the old
fashioned way—word of mouth. Ask your family and friends.
Ask everyone you know.
And when you’re ready for a cleaning, choose Sandi’s Smiles
to provide the outstanding service that you deserve. And don’t
forget, ‘A beautiful Smile is Always in Style!’ 505-480-7200.
Connecting
Community to Spirit!
By Rev. Martha Quintana
The Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living
is a Science of Mind Community where
we connect to Spirit and encourage every
person to live their life’s purpose. The Power for
Good is alive and well here. It’s a story of healing
and living in greater purpose for all people who want it. We are a
teaching, not a preaching philosophy; and we offer a wide variety
of classes to enrich spiritual growth, integrity, love and service.
The New Thought Movement that started in the mid-1800s
by transcendentalists like Ralph Waldo Emerson, continued
into the twentieth century with the teaching of Emmett Fox,
Napoleon Hill, Emma Curtis Hopkins and Ernest Holmes. From
the humble beginnings of small study groups in people’s homes,
Ernest Holmes developed and founded the Science of Mind or
Religious Science (not related to Scientology!) in1926.
During Ernest Holmes’ life and ministry in Los Angeles,
celebrities such as Cary Grant, Peggy Lee, and Doris Day
followed his teaching. More recently, Science of Mind has
influenced such luminaries in the field of self development as
Wayne Dyer, Jack Canfield, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Beckwith,
Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson.
Our summer class schedule focuses on inner and outer travel
in the spiritual realm. We begin with a Wayne Dyer film series
that takes us to Assisi, Lourdes and Medjugorje, or spend a
Saturday learning how to pray effectively. Give yourself the gift of
a weekend to get your life “On Course”, or take acclaimed teacher
Marilyn O’Leary’s workshop on living your life’s dreams.
Join Senior Minister Rev. Martha Quintana at the Rio Grande
Center for Spiritual Living for inspiring Sunday Celebrations!
Pre-service music begins at 9:45 and the service starts at
10:00am. Celebrations are held at the beautiful chapel at
the Hotel Albuquerque, 800 Rio Grande Blvd., NW. Classes
and events are held at the RGCSL Event and Learning Center,

Core Synchronism...
What is it?
By Kerry Leigh, Actualize Your Health!
That question comes up just about every
time I tell people that I am a natural health
practitioner/bodyworker specializing in
Core Synchronism. The answer to this question
has layers— like our beings—and like the healing
process itself.
Core Synchronism is a blend of Cranial Osteopathy (a purely
physical modality), Polarity Therapy (an energetic modality), the
Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics (a holistic system aligned
with “only God and Nature heal”) and the philosophical, palpatory
discoveries of Robert Stevens, BA, ND, NTS, director of the
New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. Robert’s definition
goes like this: “Core Synchronism is a system of hand medicine
designed to assist nature in establishing harmony with all parts
of the organism. It is not pathology specific. It is a mechanical
system designed to restore balance, which results in activating
an individual’s self-healing ability. Core Synchronism is deeply
relaxing, safe and gentle; hence there are no contraindications
for treatment. The person receiving treatment is responsible for
his or her own healing, which is accomplished by the individual’s
life energy, the core current. The practitioner’s responsibility is
to establish balanced body motions and synchronistic relationships,
which will result in deep states of relaxation where healing
ultimately takes place”.
Treatment is provided through gentle touch, focused intention,
and deep listening. It is truly remarkable how when things
get synched up, the body/being gets profoundly quiet and shifts
happen. The human organism is comprised of 4 bodies: physical,
emotional, mental and etheric. Shifts and healing happen
when these bodies become aligned/synched/balanced. Held patterns,
unconscious thoughts, habitual responses, inflammations,
old (and new) wounds and injuries can find release…then new
responses to life can be discovered, supported and integrated.
People go to all kinds of specialized practitioners to address a
variety of concerns. Core Synchronism has the ability to address
and integrate the healing on many levels. What a gift!

Are You Feeling Stuck?
Consider Brainwave
Optimization By Regina Coffman
For a long time in my life, I was stuck. I felt as
though I tried “everything” to find a sense
of contentment without complacency, to
find acceptance while moving towards expansion,
to be strong but not domineering and loving without being a
pushover. In essence, I was looking for BALANCE in my life
and wasn’t finding it.
Later, I learned that our brains were designed by the
Creator to be balanced and in harmony within themselves.
Trauma, both emotional and physical, can cause an imbalance.
When this is the case, it makes it difficult for us to function at
the level we desire and unpleasant consequences result. We all
endure a measure of trauma (whether in the form of the death
of a loved one, a physical injury or experiencing the pain of the
end of a relationship), and over time these take their toll.
Wired for survival, the brain will cause an individual to do
what he or she needs to in order to survive. Behaviors such as
addictions, rage, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, learning
challenges and self-harm are survival mechanisms, not
moral failings. The brain is simply responding to the trauma
imprint. Brainwave Optimization offers a personalized plan,
specific to each individual, to address these issues. Departing
dramatically from more traditional models like neurofeedback
and biofeedback, we ask the individual to “step aside” so the
brain can do the work it was intended to do.
My husband and I each underwent 10 sessions of Brainwave
Optimization. We were so amazed and pleased with the results
that we decided to invest in Brain State Technologies. I became
a licensed technologist and began Brain Balance & Harmony,
LLC.
Brainwave Optimization is an effective, holistic and noninvasive
method that guides a brain back to its natural, healthy
state. I would love to help you find Balance and get “unstuck”
from whatever is holding you back. Call Regina Coffman, Brain

Improve Your Health with
Facial Rejuvenation
By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM
It’s true! ELR facial rejuvenation can help people not only
look better, but also help them feel better. ELR is Energy
Light Rejuvenation and it uses gentle micro-currents with
various colors of therapeutic light to lift and tone the skin.
It works on the principles of resonance and is a powerful
application of energy medicine. Micro-currents and colored
light are used in combination because they reinforce and
amplify each others effects.
ELR is different than other micro-current facial systems
because it focuses on acupuncture points. It is an acupuncture
treatment without needles. This non-surgical face lift works
from the inside out. So rather than stripping away skin layers
with laser or chemical peels, ELR puts in micro-current and
color to heal and strengthen the underlying muscles and
deeper skin layers. It oxygenates the skin, increases blood
circulation and retrains the muscles. Scientific studies have
shown that micro-current treatments increase not only
collagen levels, but also increase elastin fibers. Celebrities
use micro-current facial rejuvenation to make themselves
“red carpet ready”.
Clients who have an average of 10 treatments are
excited by the positive “side effects” associated with ELR
facial rejuvenation. Skin texture is improved, wrinkles are
diminished, and sagging skin and jowls are lifted..
These are some of their comments: My doctor says I look
rested. D.T., ABQ • Have you heard people say they sleep
better after a treatment...because I am sleeping better. S.D., SF
• I feel so relaxed after a treatment, and it lasts for days afterwards.
C.M., Rio Rancho • My skin looks younger, firmer and
brighter and this is cheaper than my regular facial. B.J, ABQ
Lasting results must be maintained with one treatment
every 4 to 6 weeks, but even surgical lifts have to repeated
when the skin starts to sag.
LOOK YOUNGER! FEEL BETTER!
Dr. Carla Garcia of Acupuncture Specialists invites you to
experience Energy Light Facial Rejuvenation.

The Spirituality of
Resistance By Rev. Kylie Renner
A
wise woman once told me that “suffering equals your
pain multiplied by your resistance,” and although
in the moment I had no idea what was being said,
I can now see clearly how much needless suffering I have
created in my life not just through pain, but also through my
resistance to how life was (painfully at the time) showing up.
Resistance, most simply, is an inability to accept what is.
When the horrible happens, oftentimes, the first response
is denial. When you discover you are pregnant, when you
lose your job, when you are in a car wreck, you’d rather go
back a few minutes and live like it never happened. This is
resistance and an unwillingness to deal with the reality of
the moment. By being in this resistance, what can already
be a difficult situation gets worse. So you’re pregnant? That’s
not going to go away. You have some choices to make, and
you can’t avoid the reality of a child growing and developing
in your body. You’ve been fired? Denying this won’t help you
get a new job. It will most likely make you feel even more
miserable, making it harder for others to be around you or
to support you.
And even though we can declare that “It is a waste of
time and energy to resist what is.” We then continue to
spend our lives experiencing resistance to how life shows
up, and devising ever more complicated techniques to hide
our refusal to accept the way things are…creating patterns
of suffering that keep us from ever really experiencing joy.
The key here for me has been to stop resisting my
resistance; instead, allowing my resistance to be what it will
be and observing it. My resistance is providing information
that has led me deeper on my walk with Spirit. Resistance
isn’t only negative. In fact, my most interesting insights and
transformational moments have come from being able to see
what my resistance was telling me, about what was trying to
be born in my life. But we must discern the real source of
our resistance, and not simply get stuck in saying ‘no’ to life.
When we become aware of the real source of our
resistance, we may start to notice that part of resistance
showing up—especially when our long term patterns of
attempting to control our experience are challenged. When
resistance fails to produce the desired changes in our
lives, we rarely let go, move into the present, and see other
possibilities. We tighten more, tense harder, and attempt
to control more completely. This is why awareness is such
a powerful tool, because denying our resistance doesn’t
change things. Acceptance changes things, and we must
accept our resistance.
Do you see how insisting you can’t move to acceptance
until you drop your resistance is just another trick to keep
yourself from acceptance of the world…including your
own internal world? So next time you feel resistance, don’t
try to drop it so that you can move to acceptance. Accept
the resistance and accept what you would resist, and ask
yourself why you are feeling it. By doing this, I discover
amazing things about myself, and more importantly I can
change my world into a happier place.

Announcing: Birth 2012 Evolutionary
Circles, Beginning July 11
By Wendy Foxworth, Center for Conscious Living
Many of us who regularly read and/or advertise in this
“Truly Alive” magazine would resonate with the belief
that the manifestation of unity-conscious humanity
is needed now to help us solve the many challenges that the
prevailing (yet dying) era of self-centered consciousness has
created for all of us.
For some time now, many of us have had an awareness that
are were here to seed a new understanding and way of being
on planet earth that is a departure from the status quo world
of “us verses them.” We don’t fit into the dominant culture and
often formed groups and organizations to support our quests
to experience “Oneness” in human community.
Now comes the call for us to reach out beyond our own
groups. Let’s take a couple of hours a week to come together
with the Global Birth 2012 Campaign in partnership with
the Shift Network. Let’s join our hearts and minds for the higher
purpose of collectively anchoring the next era of conscious
evolution on planet earth. (The Global Birth 2012 Campaign is
outlined in the interview with Barbara Marx Hubbard in this
edition of Truly Alive on page 24.)
Please join us Sundays
11am to 1pm

505.343.8001 • consciouslivingnm.com
The Center for Conscious Living has stepped up to be a
HUB site for the Birth 2012 Campaign in Albuquerque. We
are providing trained staff and meeting facilities to support the
development of multiple Evolutionary Circles in the Central
New Mexico area. There is no fee for anyone participating in
the Circles or in the leadership training, and all donations are
appreciated.
Join and Participate in “Evolutionary Circles”,
Wednesdays, from 6:30 -8:30 pm, beginning July 11th. We
invite all people who feel called to co-create a new universal
humanity to circle up with others in the Albuquerque area to
learn how to:
• Lead oneself and others to generate individual and
collective heart coherence (using Heartmath® Institute’s
science-based technology)
• Speak and live from the place of essence not ego in all
relationships at home, work, play and in community
• Start an evolutionary circle in your home, spiritual
community, or organization
Sharon Gonzalez-Alei and Wendy Foxworth, certified by
Barbara Marx Hubbard as Agents and Guides of Conscious
Evolution, will be facilitating our Evolutionary Circles.
To create a firmer foundation about the Birth 2012 Movement,
please join us on Sundays, for our weekly Consciousness Study Group,
from 11-1pm. In this Study, we will learn about and practice the
consciousness shift principles and practices mentioned in the
book Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanities Great Shift to the Age
of Conscious Evolution by Futurist, Barbara Marx Hubbard.
The Center is sponsoring this study and community dialogue
to support all New Mexicans in manifesting a universal
humanity. As a HUB of the Birth 2012 planetary movement,
the Center for Conscious Living is dedicated to being a part
of generating a planetary field of energy that is an essential part
of co-creating the next quantum leap in consciousness for humankind.
In this study, we will learn about the local, national
and international grass-roots movement to co-create a new
sustainable way of being on our planet. Prayer, meditation
and community dialogue is a part of each study session.
Consciousness Study Focus Coming on Sundays in
September and October: Being Prosperous in This Economy.
We affirm a collective future that is best for everyone & work
towards that end. Join us & learn about collective practices, tools
& methodologies that help us to align our actions & co-created
solutions with our core value of unconditional love. Center for
Conscious Living, 2825 Broadbent Pkwy NE, Ste. E, Albuquerque,

Beliefs
By Nathan Main, 7th Level Adept
Transformationalist
Consider that a belief is an opinion with an
emotional charge on it, or a conviction
about something you do not know, and
that beliefs are a product of the ego-mind. Also
consider that aside from a virtue, ideal or principle (believing
in ourselves, others or a particular cause), beliefs are not about
possibility. In fact, beliefs create a matrix of constructs that
energetically disallows possibility. Beliefs are a virus upon
mankind, which hinder, stifle and diminish our Being, and
keep us from realizing who we truly are. They are the obstacles
in the way of our innate knowing. The more we release our
solidified perceptions as well as our attachments to beliefs, the
more our infinite, innate knowing is able to show up.
We are infinite and Divine Light Beings, having human
experiences. We come from light and we return to light. In
our true Light Being status, we are free of beliefs. Infinite Spirit
Consciousness is about infinite possibility. For mankind to live
in this exquisite state, to ascend to the fourth, fifth or higher
dimensions, or to achieve immortality, we must first give up our
solidified perceptions, conditioned and programmed beliefs, as
well as our false virtues of beliefs. We must overcome, outgrow
and graduate from our ego-mind generated beliefs, (this
includes religiosity) before we can awaken to who we truly are.
You are truly a Glorious, Magnificent, Powerful, and Spiritual
Creator Light Being. The time is now.

human programming, ego-based and generated resistance,

Back to School with Whole Foods Market:
Helping Kids Grow Organically
From Whole Foods Market resources
It’s back to school season! It’s also that time of year when
kids are in the perfect frame of mind to try something new
— whether it’s new fashions, new friends, or something new
in the fridge. So, pack their lunch box and your kitchen with
fresh foods that are healthy, delicious and all natural. Meanwhile,
we’ll do the homework for you all year long by offering the best
natural products at a great value—all guided by our strict Quality
Standards.
10 Tips for Healthier Food Choices
You don’t have to be a kid to benefit from these 10 simple tips that
will guide you in choosing healthier, tastier foods:
1. Choose meat, poultry and dairy products from animals
not given added hormones or antibiotics. Read the label
carefully, or choose organics.
2. Fish around for safer, more sustainable seafood. Know
the source. Ask about mercury content. When choosing
farm-raised, look for fish never given added hormones or
antibiotics.
3. Trade hydrogenated oils and trans fats for foods with
better fats, including olives, nuts and nut butters, avocados,
seeds, eggs and certain types of fish.
STOP IN AND LEARN ABOUT MAKING
HEALTHY
CHOICES
THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY.
4. Favor fresh fruits and veggies, particularly organics, and
eat a rainbow of colors. When you need a shortcut, choose
frozen over canned.
5. Skip the artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and
sweeteners. Savor the taste of unadulterated real foods.
6. Lighten up on refined sugar. Satisfy a sweet tooth with fresh
or dried fruit.
7. Avoid high-fructose corn syrup. You may be surprised
where you find it, so always check the label.
8. Go for whole grains. You’ll get more fiber, and in many cases
more protein and essential vitamins.
9. Say yes to organics whenever you can. You’ll lessen exposure
to toxic, persistent pesticides and help the planet, too!
10. Nix the nitrates and nitrites added to lunchmeats and
bacon. Whole Foods Market offers meats with no synthetic
nitrates or nitrites.

Dear Melissa–
Melissa Frei Answers Your Questions
Dear Melissa,
My question has to do with my guy Mike. I have known him
for three years and he is married so our friendship/relationship
is not based on just sex but a bond and trust we have for each
other. I don’t want to influence him in any way to leave his wife;
that has to be his choice and in his time. Do I wait or go? My
heart says wait, hang in there. My head tells me are you nuts!
Where does his heart stand with me? And what does he really
want? What do I need to learn while I am waiting?
Thank You, Stuck!
Dear Stuck!
This must be a hard thing to be going through right now, so I
want to start off by saying ‘thank you’ for trusting in me and
spiritual guidance to help you navigate this situation. This is
very delicate, so please know that there is no judgment on my
part…just an open channel of love for you.
When I read this, I feel that you are indeed “waiting” for this
man, because he is not available right now. He is not in a
position to be totally open to you in a relationship. He might
be married, but that is not why he is unavailable. So lets shine
some light on him.
What is coming through about Mike is: he is unavailable in
all of his relationships; be it his marriage, with you, friends
or family. He is a person that has a hard time making a
commitment because he is afraid he will loose something if
he commits. When we take you out of the picture, you can see
what he is going through and how he shows up in life. He feels
if he makes drastic changes in his thinking, it will solve his
problems…but this never works. No matter what he thinks,
it does not address the root of his issues. The message for you
(information as of right now) is that one day he will make a
choice that is productive and stop spinning his wheels. He
will get clear and realize that he has to find his own answers
to peace and happiness.
I feel that he does care about you and that he is as authentic
as he can be with you. I also feel that you give him something
that he is not able to receive from anyone else. There is a
great connection between the two of you. (He does not have
to worry about the commitment thing with you and so he
feels safe with you while he is unavailable.) If he leaves his
relationship for you, please make sure he has worked on
himself and is truly available to you; or else he will recreate
the same situation with you that he had with his wife.
As far as what he wants, he does not know. He wants to feel
peace in his heart and until he stops searching outside of
himself and starts looking inside, he will not find it.
What do you need to learn? Why you are putting your life
on hold? Is there a safety you find with him because he is
unavailable? I feel you have a trend of dating men that are
emotionally unavailable. What do you truly want in life?
What are you worth to yourself? Align your head, your
heart and your gut together. Feel them as one. Guidance is
suggesting you look at your part in this waiting game, answer
the questions above and heal your past relationships. If/when
he is ready, or if you choose to let someone else in, you need
to have your side of the street clean to be ready for an amazing
relationship. You are worth it!
Love, Melissa

Re-Awakening The Sacred
Feminine: A Workshop for Women
With Charlene Lewis, CHt, CWK, CQTP and SanRa Alworth, CHt
Let us be women in the world, not women expressing in
the world from the male model. Let us be ourselves and
re-claim the truth of who we are. If we are working in the
business world, let us express ourselves from a place of power
from within, not “power over”. If we are working in the home,
let us honor ourselves for the love we feel for our families in
wanting to take care of them, but let us not feel obligated to
have our whole lives be that of a caretaker. Let us also be able to
be supported and taken care of with grace.
If we have been wounded - sexually, physically, emotionally,
spiritually (or a combination of these) as so many of us have,
let us release that energy from our very physical cells and from
the subconscious mind that holds all the memories (past life or
present life). Let us replace that energy with the essence of our
being that is within. Then we can let that essence radiate out
into all areas of our lives.
If you are feeling weak, overwhelmed, confused or stuck in
your life, this deeply healing workshop will give you the boost
you need to move forward. We will go deeply within to release
the wounded feminine and help the powerful, sacred feminine
emerge. You will feel more empowered and capable of creating
the life you desire.
This workshop will be (for many) the beginning of a great
life change. For others, it will be another piece in the healing
work we have already completed. Working together as women
with the deep feminine is very powerful and supportive, and
deeply fulfilling. Various experiential healing modalities
are included in the workshop such as: guided meditation,
journaling, chakra/energy healing, toning and chakra bowls,
flower essences, essential oils and more.
Join us for this transformational workshop and re-discover
your powerful and wise feminine self! She is eager and waiting
to emerge! Women ages 16 and over welcome!
SanRa Alworth and Charlene Lewis are two powerful
healers; women who have been “through the fire” so to speak
and have transformed themselves into their full, feminine,
powerful selves. Who better to help others do the same?
Re-Awakening The Sacred Feminine: A Workshop for Women,
Aug 4th, 1-5pm. Early Bird fee with registration by July 10, only
$49! After July 10, $59. Payment can be made by cash or check
or via PayPal on Charlene or SanRa’s website. RSVP/Register

ARTICLES:
As
a Holistic and Integrative Medical Doctor, I am constantly looking for innovative
and effective ways to help patients. As you know if you have been reading my articles
over the years, Classical Homeopathy is an amazing system for healing the
whole person which has made a huge difference in the lives of my patients. When combined
with state of the art allergy testing and treatment, the results are truly outstanding.
There are two major types of allergic, or hypersensitivity reactions in the body—
immediate and delayed. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, also called Type I, are the
reactions we are familiar with—they involve release of histamine from mast cells within
seconds to minutes after exposure to the offending allergen/antigen. Hayfever, hives and
anaphylactic shock are all examples of Type I reactions. Much less is known about delayed
hypersensitivity reactions, sometimes called hidden allergic reactions. These usually take
days to a few weeks to manifest symptoms in the body after exposure to the allergen. This
time lag makes it very difficult to associate a particular exposure to a disease or a symptom.
And yet these types of allergic reactions wreak havoc in the body and mind.
There are three kinds of delayed hypersensitivity reactions, each of which is associated
with a host of diseases. In some disease states, more than one delayed...

Parkinson’s, Multiple
Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia,
Chronic Fatigue
By Hans Levy, PT, LMT #5870
John Coleman of Australia was diagnosed with
Stage 4 Parkinson’s. He set out to find ways to
get this disease into remission. After three and a
half years using homeopathic drops called “Aquas,”
some alternative psychological therapy and lifestyle changes in
addition to Bowenwork sessions twice a month, he succeeded.
He wrote a book about his healing adventure: Stop Parkin’ Start
Livin’. He has been in remission for over 10 years now.
Stories from people with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) are
numerous, recounting the benefits they experienced with
Bowenwork Therapy, as well as people suffering from
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue.
What do have these diseases in common? They all affect the
nervous system. The communication between the neurological
pathways is not working correctly. Bowenwork is a very gentle
manual therapy which engages the brain to reset neurological
pathways back to proper functioning.
Now, you may say to yourself, “Well, if this is so powerful,
why hasn’t it been broadcast everywhere so that everyone can
benefit from it?” The answer is simple: It was only introduced in
the USA about 20 years ago. It takes time for new techniques to
take root. However, there are thousands of people who already
have experienced the healing that comes from Bowenwork
in the USA. The best thing for you to do is try it and see for
yourself if it helps you.
Have you been told: “You must live with your condition!”
Thousands have tried Bowenwork as a last resort. Practitioners
regularly see significant change, if not complete recovery, in over
80% of our clients. FREE Bowenwork Clinic on Saturdays for
adults with disabilities and children!
Hans Levy, PT, LMT #5870 is a licensed physical therapist, massage
therapist and Bowenwork Therapy Practitioner. He integrates
Yoga, Medical Massage, Reflexology, Shiatsu, Thai massage,
Reiki and Hypnotherapy into his healing work; customizing
programs for each client. Scheduling/info call: 505-934-2510,

Where’s your Website?
By Kourosh Tari, Marsoft LLC
For many business owners, having a website is similar to
having a business card. It identifies who you are, what
you sell or do, and allows consumers to compare your
products or services against other sites. Now, nearly every
business owns a website, compared to a small percentage of
businesses just ten years ago. Nevertheless, the question is: how
many businesses actually take advantage of their very expensive
website? Your website should be more effective than that
business card, and just like a business card, you need to present
it to your potential customers/clients. While your website
resides on the internet, it may be in the “Cyber Graveyard”;
hidden among pages and pages of similar other sites, unable to
be found, generating no visitors, and subsequently no revenue
for you.
Search Engine Optimization & Search Engine Marketing
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of
improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search
results via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”)
search results.
In general, the higher your website is ranked on the search
results page, and more regularly a site appears in the search
results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search
engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of searches,
including searches for images, videos, academic information,
news, local information and industry-specific vertical search
engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how
search engines work, what people search for, the “Keywords” or
actual search terms typed into search engines and which search
engines are favored by their targeted audience.
Over 80% of people search for your products/services online
and then immediately purchase (or schedule appointments).
These rankings also influence other channels of sales as well.
Have you ever wondered…
• Why your competitor’s website shows up on the first page of
search results and yours is buried in fifth or tenth page?
• How you can be on the first page, or even better on top of the
first page?
What is SEO Booster?
We, at Marsoft, have been in this business for years. We
build websites, develop complex software programs, offer
Search Engine Marketing and Advertising and also offer SEO
services. We know it’s difficult, expensive and time-consuming
to get your website to the top of the page in search results.
Based on years of experience, research and hard work, we
wanted to offer an inexpensive means for businesses to be at
top of search results pages. SEO Booster is the result of that
effort. SEO Booster:
• Supports Mobile Browsers Such as iPhone, Blackberry,
Android and more
• Is “super intuitive” web software to create an instant website

desired themes, colors and images.
• Integrates the power of Social Networks in one place in

supplementary tool to optimize your website for better results.

AstrologicAl ForecAst: July/August
John Clinton | Psychic Astrologer | 505-489-1122
30+ Years Experience Interpreting Stellar Events | Starcaster333@ yahoo.com
ARIES (3/21-4/19) JULY has Mars moving from
your work sector and into the more social setting of
Libra. It’s time now, to hunt the elusive two-legged
dear. After 5 hard months of labor efforts, all I can
say is, “Look out, world! The Rams are running rampant!”. On the
4th, you are the perfect example of how to keep freedom alive.
The 8th is distracting as old memories wash through your mind.
Don’t believe all you hear on the 17th. The 18th brings awareness
and the 19th is good for homework. If it matters to you, beware of
a hidden part of a relationship. In AUGUST, two issues delay your
newest path. Firstly, you are misquoted and secondly, there are car
problems to solve. Your relationship is also put in the spotlight of
fate. Permanence in love has been a real test for you. The Rams and
Ewes who have made it through the last 2 years together deserve
a medal. There are still hard choices ahead. The uncoupled Aries
could become coupled around mid-month. Try to get all of your
errands done the first week, because after that you are drawn to
the comforts and needs of home.
TAURUS (4/20-5/20) JULY has Venus moving for-
ward, again. You are most like a dragster off the line,
burning rubber and smoking up the night. Traction is
slow to come, but soon you will be doing record-time
for the month. The 4th brings out your inner patriot as excitement
fills the air. After mid-month, take care driving. Also, there could
be some electrical problems at home. This is a year of self-made
prosperity. Sweep out those cobwebs of insecurity as you will need
more room for your good fortune. AUGUST starts with high
hopes. Work seems to become a brighter, more positive place. On
the 9th, you can make the night drip with romance. Family needs
become a reason to travel after the 7th. A national event on the
15th could feel like a personal loss. Beware of secret enemies on
the 16th. Your animal nature stirs you into the hunting mode on
the 23rd. Within 3 days, love will whisper in your ear and the trophy
will be yours. The 31st is a very nice way to end the month.
Enjoy the surprise!
GEMINI (5/21-6/21) On JULY14th, Mercury goes
retrograde. Bummer. This “messenger” planet wants
to make you aware of a subconscious thought process.
The perfect place for a Gemini to visit is their own
mind, and it’s free. Yet, summer time is like the call of the wild.
Your mental reflections will bring happy connections. The 4th of
July can be fun, but take a Taurus with you and it will be hilarious.
You will have two important contacts near month’s end. This is a
first step for future plans. Follow up in early August with these
people. AUGUST 7th sees Mercury turn forward in motion.
Your car, your neighbor relations, and even your mind all begin
to work better. Progress awaits your steady hand. You are, once
again, filled with happiness and optimism. Your soul is being
touched by something very magical throughout the month. The
message is about achieving your ideal. There will have to be some
big adjustments, including the purification of your thoughts and
intentions. You can make things better by the 18th-23rd period
when happiness reigns supreme. Be ready for home repairs at
month’s end.
CANCER (6/22-7/22) JULY is always filled with
changes. That describes the Children of the Crab. So,
hang on for the changes this month. The Moon rings
like a bell when struck. Maybe, your Lunar ruler should
be the real Liberty Bell. Enjoy the 4th as freedom rings clearly. The
3rd is the actual full Moon. If you can, get to the mountains to see
it. Awareness comes regarding a relationship. There’s always a new
Moon to follow and new fish in your sea. The good times arrive on
the 19th and the 22nd is a royal day. Energy goes into home efforts
this month. AUGUST begins and ends with a full Moon. Your life
has the softness of an ocean cove. There can always be some rough
weather, but it only thickens your shell. There are days of sadness
at mid-month and the ocean seems angry on the 23rd/24th. The
Crabs are always washed with a sea of emotions. The Blue Moon
at month’s end may wash you into a new relationship. This time,
you will have eyes wide open, but this one looks good.
LEO (7/23-8/22) In JULY, the Sun moves delicately
through your 12th house. The first 3 weeks find you
deep in thought. You need time alone. You feel like
smashing your cell phone as a cry for solitude. You
worry sometimes about that Mayan thing. Fear not, brave Lions.
We have all chosen to be on earth at this time for this event, so it
must mean something good. Global agreements should make you
feel safer. The last 10 days of July will be exciting for you as you
step back into the social scene. AUGUST sees the solar powered
Leos creating two grand events. First, you could gather friends on
the 1st. That evening has you thinking about someone at work.
There’s a friendship there that could turn into a romance near the
9th. A natural health regimen is promising as you see progress.
Your energy peaks on the 20th. Your mind will be on fire that
day. You want to make financial changes near the end of August.
You are strongly aware of all the things which must end as new
opportunities arise.
VIRGO (8/23-9/22) There must be something better
than exploring the recesses of your mind, but that’s
what’s best suited for the 2nd half of JULY. You will
have had enough excitement during the first two
weeks. It’s as if you start the month leading a parade, but then a
wheel falls off the float behind you. Your nature is to go back to
help. The month changes on the 14th. It begins with a beautiful
conversation that day. Your inner journey for 3 weeks will bring
forth some valuable little nuggets. AUGUST illustrates your
penchant for detail. You will uncover more than one hidden truth
this month. Loneliness is a pervading feeling from which you can
shake free after the 22nd. You will come out of a deep silence of
thoughts to speak your mind. There is a need to express some pentup
anger on the 23rd, and thereafter. On the 26th, you can find
the perfection within yourself that you seek for your outer world.
44 Truly Alive | www.trulyalive.net

Keep track of your dreams from that evening. Find someone to
interpret them. It’s significant. That dream can manifest on the
29th. The 31st has a surprise.
LIBRA (9/23-10/22) JULY: The Librans know there
is nothing better than love except maybe a good
book. Happiness is within you as the month opens.
Even in the midst of hardship, you are happy to
know it will soon be over. The end is just around another turn
on the mountain of karma. Soon, the heaviness will end like a
big ugly goat climbing off your back. 2 1/2 years of Saturn has
turned you into the mountain...cool on top and hard as granite
when necessary. Still, you stand ready to hold the door for Saturn’s
departure by summer’s end. AUGUST: Is it global warming, or
just you? On the 1st, the Moon lights your night. It shimmers from
your face to reveal a perfect vision of beauty. Yes, it’s a romantic
night which lasts all month. The bumps in the road are smoothed
by friends who speak up for you on the 8th. The 9th is back to the
passion. Be careful how those passions get stirred at mid-month.
Dramatic surprises fill the last two weeks. After the 22nd, you may
feel a need for alone time more frequently. That will recharge your
batteries from all the excitement.
SCORPIO (10/23-11/21) JULY: Pluto stays
retrograde these two months, so go easy on yourself.
The Universe has a plan for you. It’s different for
each of those with your Sign, depending on your
personal karma. It’s an opportunity to explore your inner power.
The hallways of your mind are lined with buttons. These are the
buttons that get pushed so easily. Each button is wired directly
to some incident in your life. The same way you would disarm a
bomb, you may want to clip a few of those wires this month. At
least the first 3 weeks can be fun. AUGUST: Mars will get to your
Sign on the 23rd. You will be charged up and more effective in
your actions for a couple of months. You make progress as you
quietly work for a specific result. Communication problems clear
up after the 7th. The 9th feels good if you can just relax. The 15th
could bring a karmic encounter. Your good work is validated on
the 20th. The month ends on a high note with the 29th being your
best day. There are powerful forces building up, like winding a
spring. This can be a great month if you take time to transform
yourself. It’s o.k. It’s overdue.
SAGITTARIUS (11/22-12/21) JULY has brought
inspiration from a great partnership or social activity.
The 16th/17th is an exciting time frame for you.
There is an element of danger which only adds to the
excitement for the Archer Clan. The 19th is a passionate beginning
to an emotional sea. The 22nd is a powerful day for all people and
you play a key role. Justice will be served by uncovered truths.
You love the truth so it’s perfect. Satisfaction fills your heart over
the last 10 days of July. AUGUST has a compatible Leo energy for
you until the 22nd. Travel is favored between 8/8 and 8/21. Work
can become a conflict for you by limiting your happiness, and
your happiness is found in the arms of your loved one this month.
Marriage is a real possibility in the near future. Will this limit your
freedom? After all, the bonds of matrimony are bonds, you know.
Anyway, the month is powerful for planning. Expansion follows
some new knowledge and it all leads to happiness this month. The
final 10 days have you turning to your work mode.
CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19) JULY is usually about
partners, your enemies, and legal matters. These are
spot lighted areas, but not necessarily your focus. Life
is stable though progress is slow. You hold the reins
to something new. This newness is obviously at work as a boring
routine is broken. You may take on a more youthful appearance.
Stay home, if you can, between the 14th - 19th. It’s just gonna be
ugly out there. The 22nd brings a key to good health. Someone
you meet on the 19th/20th will bring peace, love, and happiness
by month’s end. AUGUST is made tolerable by the help you get
in your work. Two people working together can do the work
of three people working alone. You are enjoying the status of
added responsibility. Your work may be directly affected by early
morning incidents on the 15th. If you feel like a target, just deflect
that energy. You could receive recognition on the 17th. Your
wisdom and philosophy need an audience during the last nine
days of the month. Your words are like gold to the impoverished
minds of friends and others. Your leadership is an anchor during
uncertain times.
AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18) JULY shows you running
along just fine as the month begins, but by the 13th
it could feel like you’re pulled back by elastic bands.
The Universe wants you to consider all possible
consequences before you act. The intelligent answer is not always
the right one, but neither is the less foolish one. Go within. In the
midst of your somber reflections, comes a circus atmosphere into
your life. You should have 10 enjoyable days at month’s end. You
also possess wisdom which will enlighten many others. AUGUST
opens with a spark to your nervous system. The full Moon coaxes
you from the pits of your mind. Yes, look around. We’re all here in
the so-called “real” world, wondering where our heads are. That’s
fine. It’s your right as a freely disengaged spirit, living within your
own mind. Just tighten a few loose screws while you’re in there.
Speaking of your mind, you realize that love begins there and it
can slowly fill your whole head. Yet, outside your head is where
the spirit of love crosses playfully through your days. It’s time to
come out and play.
PISCES (2/19-3/20) The full Moon on the 3rd
could fill your hopes and dreams. Of course, you
have to make the right choices. Are your longings of
a material nature? The fulfillment seems to be in nonmaterial
forms. This is a good month to dream and wish for a
beautiful world. Your home provides the setting for your desires.
You can manifest those desires from the beauty of your inner core
self. The month ends dramatically as everyone feels the hope for a
better world. For you, there are mermaids laughing and splashing
happily outside your window. AUGUST always brings endings
and new beginnings for the Fish. This “schooling” adds great depth
to the ocean of your being. Neptune remains retrograde which
shows your best place for happiness is the home. You are learning
lessons about joy. Your active libido may feel like a tsunami to
others. Some will flee. The wise will remain. This month is good
to focus on relations. Try to be clear with your communications as
this could affect your reputation. Life is still good while Neptune
dwells in it’s home Sign of Pisces for several years.
