teaching these capable young women an ancient craft that has been in existence at least 4000 years. Aside from learning some woodworking skills, they are learning much more about themselves ... that with a little sweat and dedication they can accomplish extraordinary things. Dennis and I will be returning to Louisville at the beginning of July and will be starting up our second season of summer day camps. Last summer we helped eleven youths and adults build kayaks and find their way to the water’s edge. This summer we hope to get even more people out on the water, proudly paddling the fruits of their labor and enjoying the sanctuary and discovery that quietly paddling along a water’s edge generously offers up to us all.

For thousands of years the Tibetan nomads took their herds of yaks and ponies up and down the sides of the highest mountains in the world, moving with the seasons for grazing. Historically, the conditions were among the most brutal that human beings have endured. Diseases and injuries were plentiful and the environment offered little to support the healing traditions. Using the elemental earth connection, meditative concentration, the stimulation of pre-acupuncture reflex point therapy, local herbs and prayers, the Bon shaman kept the tribe healthy physically, mentally and spiritually. When Indian teachers brought Buddhism over the Himalayas, they brought new medical knowledge too. The basic practices of the Indian Ayer Veda and the rudimentary medical knowledge of the Bon shaman were blended. The basic physical practices from these ancient times were simple to learn, easy to administer, effective and can to this day, 14 The Tibetan Acupressure System (TAS) is an ancient system of reflexive pressure point healing, harkening back to the times of the Tibetan nomad. TAS accesses the body’s natural corrective energies in order to bring balance to the body as a whole. This system can be used to treat specific conditions or for the overall well-being of the body and the mind. In the classical style, the recipient remains clothed and seated upright in a chair. The practitioner accesses the reflex points by using the tip of the index finger and occasionally the thumb, adding a twist of the wrist to deepen the contact. Because the points require only a quick, deep and penetrating touch, professional body workers who have had finger or wrist injury due to the mechanical stress of their work can deliver this system with ease. An entire TAS classical treatment takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. A CD version of the system may be played while administering the treatment to increase the focus of the practitioner and enhance the relaxation of the client. The TAS reflex protocols are extremely useful for massage therapists to integrate into their existing massage sequence or to add another modality if used in its classical
form. Nurses, palliative care workers and care giving individuals will also find the system easy to learn and useful for reducing pain. Health conditions that can be successfully treated with TAS: •chronic pain •insomnia •depression and anxiety •mental and emotional distress •shoulder and back tension •PMS and menopausal symptoms •digestive disorders including reflux, heartburn, constipation and IBS •environmental allergies Herbal Child Care Many parents like the idea of caring for their children in a more natural way but aren’t sure how. Here are a few tips to get you started. Bellyache - Many babies and young ones struggle with gas pains that leave them fussy and up all night. Fennel is an excellent herb to relieve gas including colic. You can make fennel tea or get a glycerin base tincture. I used to make fennel tea in the middle of the night and decided a tincture would make life a lot easier. Fennel saved my life when my daughter was a baby. She still wakes up from time to time screaming with gas pain. I give her two droppers full of fennel glycerin tincture and she is back to sleep in five minutes. Adults can use this one too. I know several adults •back pain including sciatica •headaches/migraines •cancer/to support immune response and reduce localized pain. Rae Hatherton ND.,CMT., CMI., CHt. teaches The Tibetan Acupressure System in a threeday practitioners course in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia www. raehatherton.com. Continuing education credits are available for massage therapists. For more information or to enroll in courses go to www.tibetan-acupressure.com. Next course in Louisville is Aug. 27.28.29 2010 Contact: jennyboice@divinecreationz.com By Jenny Boice who use the glycerin fennel for acid reflux. It’s very soothing to the digestive tract. It tastes good too! Cuts & Scrapes - Comfrey is known as the knit bone herb. It is known for knitting the skin and bones together. Comfrey salve is a wonderful multipurpose salve to have around the house. You can use it for cuts, scrapes, wounds, sores, for healing stitches, diaper redness, pregnant bellies, cracked nipples and the list goes on. We use comfrey salve for most boo boos that occur in our family. Comfrey oil can be poured over broken bones or sprains. Do NOT apply comfrey to open wounds. Comfrey salve and oil is for external use only. Bites – Of course the best way to deal with bug bites would be to prevent them all together. There are many natural bug repellents available now and they are very effective -- so stay away from DEET! Our bug repellent is made with a blend of essential oils that bugs avoid. It’s been thoroughly tested and repels mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, flies, and more. And it smells good for a repellant. You can also plant marigold, rosemary, basil, and catnip around your porch or patio to repel mosquitoes. If you forget the repellent and get bitten, we have Bite Balm that stops 15
