Living a Meaningful Life: Teachings from<br />
Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully<br />
With Gen Kelsang Gomlam<br />
October 9, 10am–5pm<br />

What is the most meaningful way to use our life? •<br />
What will make us truly happy? • What will benefit<br />
others most? • And when this life is over, what will<br />
help us then?” Contemplating these questions <strong>and</strong><br />
looking at death with wisdom encourages us to<br />
use our life to develop protection from fear <strong>and</strong> a<br />
determination not to waste our human life.<br />

Manifesting with the Yoga Masters<br />
How to Successfully Manifest Happiness<br />
October 16, 4:30-7:30pm<br />
$35 Introductory Month Includes<br />
Lots of Hot Yoga <strong>and</strong> this Workshop<br />
($25 for Blissful Spirits members)<br />
The teachings of Yogan<strong>and</strong>a’s lineage explain why so<br />
many people fail to materialize a life of their dreams:<br />
to be youthful (at any age), beautiful, fit, strong, <strong>and</strong><br />
healthy; to pursue your divine purpose; to be prosperous,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to have healthy <strong>and</strong> happy relationships.<br />
The sixth part of the workshop series, Exploring the<br />
Principles of The Sacred Hot Yoga MethodSM, will<br />
be an active discussion on the external obstacles <strong>and</strong><br />
internal resistance which inevitably cause failure <strong>and</strong><br />
despair. The emphasis will be on overcoming one’s<br />
negative samskaras, the habitual tendencies to repeat<br />
the same wrong thoughts, actions, <strong>and</strong> words, <strong>and</strong> to<br />
instead consciously manifest what you truly desire.<br />

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

The cover author, Dr.<br />
Christiane Northrup, was<br />
so passionate about natural<br />
women’s health <strong>and</strong> the progress<br />
that has been made with<br />
natural health breakthroughs <strong>and</strong> new offerings,<br />
that her enthusiasm was truly contagious.<br />
Take some time to read the feature<br />
about her <strong>and</strong> her updated, revised book,<br />
Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (for<br />
yourself or a woman you love) <strong>and</strong> think<br />
about purchasing the book. It’s an amazing<br />
reference material…truly life-changing for<br />
me <strong>and</strong> something that every woman could<br />
benefit from owning.<br />
This is also the 4th annual Fair issue,<br />
<strong>and</strong> this year there are some wonderful<br />
changes afoot. The venue is the same as<br />
it has been for the past three years (Albuquerque<br />
Center for Spiritual Living), but<br />
it will be bigger <strong>and</strong> better than ever! The<br />
church is remodeling the space across the<br />
courtyard from the sanctuary <strong>and</strong> nonadvertisers<br />
have an opportunity to participate.<br />
(In the past, the Fair was exclusively for<br />
my advertisers.)<br />
The Albuquerque Center for Spiritual<br />
Living is a co-sponsor in the Fair this year<br />
<strong>and</strong> table space is very reasonably priced<br />
(see pages 10 <strong>and</strong> 11 for more Fair information),<br />
<strong>and</strong> tickets to the Whole Foods<br />
buffet are included. A small entrance fee to<br />
the Fair ($7) has been implemented this<br />
year <strong>and</strong> that includes one trip through the<br />
buffet as well as entrance to the Fair <strong>and</strong> attendance<br />
at one or more of the three workshops<br />
newly featured this year.<br />
I love hearing from readers that they<br />
read everything “cover to cover every issue”<br />
<strong>and</strong> “thank you for producing the<br />
magazine”. Through the years, I have heard<br />
many stories about how one article or another<br />
“changed the reader’s life,” <strong>and</strong> it always<br />
makes me feel great. Since the July/<br />
August issue came out, two readers extended<br />
special thanks for featuring Suzanne<br />
Somers <strong>and</strong> her newest book, Knockout;<br />
Interviews with Doctors Who are Curing<br />
Cancer <strong>and</strong> How to Prevent Getting it in<br />
the First Place. Both of these readers’ lives<br />
have been incredibly altered after receiving<br />
a cancer diagnosis (for themselves or a<br />
very close loved one). While each is doing<br />
their own research on treatment options;,<br />
what touched me most about these two<br />
stories was that each had read the Somers<br />
article <strong>and</strong> the book, prompting them to<br />
start one of the cancer treatment programs<br />
discussed in Knockout. Both readers were<br />
very grateful for the information.<br />
It is a true blessing to me to do work I<br />
love so much, but even more fulfilling is<br />
the knowledge that the magazine affects<br />
the lives of readers in positive, uplifting<br />
ways. It just doesn’t get better than that.<br />
I hope your summer has been wonderful<br />
<strong>and</strong> memorable, <strong>and</strong> that you felt, “<strong>Truly</strong><br />
<strong>Alive</strong>” through it all. Next issue will be our<br />
holiday issue, featuring lots of ideas for holiday<br />
gift giving (<strong>and</strong> for taking special care<br />
of yourself during the hectic holiday season!).<br />

Abdominal Pain, Menstrual<br />
Cramps, Incontinence – Yes, there<br />
is a Myofascial component<br />
MyoRehab Has Answers By Victoria L Magown<br />
In the last issue of <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong>, we discussed how both<br />
osteoarthritis <strong>and</strong> rheumatoid arthritis have a Myofascial<br />
component that we can treat to decrease pain <strong>and</strong> increase<br />
range of motion. Abdominal pain, menstrual cramps <strong>and</strong><br />
incontinence can also have a Myofascial component.<br />
Shortened <strong>and</strong> contracted abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia can<br />
place pressure on the internal organs. Visa versa, dysfunctional<br />
internal organs can create Trigger Points in the abdominal muscles<br />
<strong>and</strong> shortening of the fascia causing pain <strong>and</strong> restriction.<br />
Trigger Points are hypersensitive, self-sustained contraction<br />
knots that develop in muscle <strong>and</strong> fascia. They cause a shortening<br />
in the length of the muscle called a taut b<strong>and</strong> which in turn<br />
restricts range of motion. When these taut b<strong>and</strong>s are stimulated<br />
by contracting or stretching, pain is triggered <strong>and</strong> referred in predictable<br />
patterns away from the Trigger Point.<br />
During an automobile accident, the lap seatbelt impacts the<br />
abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia so severely that in some cases people<br />
have experienced bruising. The resultant Trigger Point restriction<br />
puts pressure on the internal organs causing them to become<br />
dysfunctional. This could cause chronic abdominal pain which<br />
interferes with normal eating <strong>and</strong> digestion, contributing to acid<br />
reflux, flatulence <strong>and</strong> indigestion. The bowels <strong>and</strong> bladder can<br />
also be affected causing constipation <strong>and</strong> difficulty urinating.<br />
Dorothy came to MyoRehab after a car accident <strong>and</strong> one of<br />
her symptoms, as well as whiplash, was peri-menopause. She was<br />
only 35 years old. Dorothy was quite thin <strong>and</strong> the impact from<br />
the seatbelt caused the abdominals to spasm which put pressure<br />
on the reproductive organs <strong>and</strong> stopped her menses <strong>and</strong> hormone<br />
production. After treating the abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia, she<br />
started menses <strong>and</strong> hormone production within two weeks. No<br />
more peri-menopause.<br />
Andrea had suffered with menstrual cramps since she was 13<br />
years old. Now, at 16 years old, they were so severe she would<br />
miss one or two days of school most months. After treatment of<br />
the abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia, Andrea only felt slight discomfort<br />
for a day or two during her menstrual cycle. We addressed<br />
perpetuating factors <strong>and</strong> found she was doing 100 sit-ups<br />
a day without stretching the abdominal muscles following her<br />
workout. We asked her to reduce the number of sit-ups initially<br />
to twenty-five <strong>and</strong> always stretch the abdominals after her workouts.<br />
Then as she became pain free, she could add five sit-ups a<br />
week, as long as the menstrual cramps did not exacerbate.<br />
Alice came to MyoRehab for relief of left hip pain after a fall<br />
when she was 48 years old. It wasn’t until the third treatment,<br />
(while I was explaining how unlevel pubic bones can cause incontinence<br />
as I used a Muscle Energy Technique to mobilize her<br />
sacrum, right ilium <strong>and</strong> pubic bones) that Alice confided she had<br />
given up her beloved aerobics due to incontinence when jumping<br />
<strong>and</strong> dancing. She was also experiencing incontinence when<br />
coughing or sneezing. Now at 50 years old, she thought incontinence<br />
was just something that happens as you get older. She<br />
had already had the appropriate incontinence tests which were<br />
all negative for pathology.<br />
So we knew that mis-aligned pelvic joints, as well as muscles<br />
<strong>and</strong> fascia splinting <strong>and</strong> bracing were the cause of her incontinence.<br />
Alice is now quite happy jumping <strong>and</strong> dancing in her<br />
aerobics class without any mishaps.<br />
Yes, abdominal muscles <strong>and</strong> fascia can cause multiple problems<br />
in the pelvic region. And since we treat using Integrated Manual<br />
Trigger Point Therapy, you are assured that all the components<br />

Esoteric Acupuncture–<br />
Is It for You?<br />
By Denise LaRosa, DOM<br />
All through my years of treating patients <strong>and</strong> self-examination<br />
of how healing actually occurs, I have found a modality<br />
of treatment that answered my questions <strong>and</strong> fulfilled my<br />
deepest desire to assist one in their personal journey towards true<br />
health <strong>and</strong> growth.<br />
Esoteric Acupuncture is a way of setting in motion the<br />
correct vibrational fi eld for accessing your higher levels of<br />
consciousness while releasing obstacles that are blocking the<br />
healing process. So why would we want to do this? A couple<br />
compelling reasons would be to have the experience of genuine<br />
connectiveness <strong>and</strong> to open up ourselves to various states of<br />
awareness where you just know things (4th dimension).<br />
So how is this accomplished? The primary focus with<br />
Esoteric Acupuncture is to assist healing on all levels; physical,<br />
ancestral, mental <strong>and</strong> emotional by utilizing Traditional<br />
Acupuncture Theory, the Hindu Chakra System <strong>and</strong> Sacred<br />
Geometry.<br />
From patients that I have been treating with this modality<br />
they have made comments like: “I can now feel the energy<br />
moving within my body”, I’m experiencing a stillness <strong>and</strong><br />
peace in my life”, “I can now see things with more clarity”, “I<br />
have a distinct form of awareness, like something is present<br />
that wasn’t there before”, I feel more stable <strong>and</strong> open to life”.<br />
There are additional aspects gained from these treatments<br />
as well. Increased immune system function, reduced<br />
stress levels, increased energy <strong>and</strong> circulation throughout<br />
the body <strong>and</strong> release of stagnation from the physical <strong>and</strong><br />
emotional levels.<br />
So is it for you? If you have the desire to awaken your highest<br />
spiritual aspects <strong>and</strong> move toward living a life of exp<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
peace <strong>and</strong> wellness, then I would guess it’s a yes!<br />
Dr. LaRosa has a part-time practice at Sanjevani Health <strong>and</strong> Lifestyle<br />

Get a Grip –<br />
Get a Life!!!<br />
By Rev. Jac Blackman<br />
Many people find life <strong>and</strong> people diffi cult to deal<br />
with <strong>and</strong> are barely in control of their live—if<br />
at all. You have the ability to take back control<br />
of your life, but it is important to underst<strong>and</strong> universal<br />
principles—such as the law of Cause <strong>and</strong> Effect, the power<br />
of your emotions, relationships with self <strong>and</strong> others, what<br />
prayer REALLY is, finding infallible guidance, <strong>and</strong> your<br />
birthrights of a really good life.<br />
These issues <strong>and</strong> more will be covered in the Foundational<br />
Class offered at the High Desert Center starting in September.<br />
Class start date <strong>and</strong> other information are on our website at<br />
hdcsl.org.<br />
We live in a time of evolution with amplifying energies <strong>and</strong><br />
accelerating consciousness, <strong>and</strong> it is important to underst<strong>and</strong><br />
our relationship with the universe in order to live the fullest<br />
life possible. A constant of life is change, <strong>and</strong> it is important<br />
to get things changing in a favorable direction.<br />
Ernest Holmes, founder of Science of Mind, says, “Change<br />
Your Thinking, Change Your Life!” This is the same as Jesus<br />
meant when he said, “Judge not by appearances, but judge<br />
righteously.” Jesus taught us to not judge, so it is important<br />
to underst<strong>and</strong> his statement. “Judging by appearances‘<br />
which means believing things are as they are <strong>and</strong> you have<br />
no power to change it.” I say, “Don’t let the evidence get to<br />
you!” “Judging righteously” means perceiving the situation<br />
from a spiritual perspective <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing that you have<br />
the power of the Word to change many situations in your<br />
life—since we have been created in the image <strong>and</strong> likeness<br />
of the Creator.<br />
Many people do not realize that fear is prayer in the wrong<br />
direction. Whether we care to admit it or not, we control the<br />
preponderance of our lives, <strong>and</strong> our thoughts <strong>and</strong> feelings<br />
<strong>and</strong> beliefs are the precursor of our lives. So with all your<br />
getting, get underst<strong>and</strong>ing!<br />

Women’s Sensitive<br />
Bodies…Women’s<br />
Sensitive Hormones<br />
By Dr. Emil Faithe, Medical Intuitive<br />
Over-Nurturing Others Can Create<br />
Hormone Chaos<br />
You are Sensitive<br />
Women (<strong>and</strong> many men) often forget<br />
how emotionally sensitive they are. They<br />
forget how they “feel” everything, from<br />
everybody <strong>and</strong> everything, mostly without<br />
realizing. Simply put, you are sensitive;<br />
you are an Empath. As such, the energies<br />
of the outside world can profoundly affect<br />
your mood, energy levels, motivation, the<br />
functionality of your organs... <strong>and</strong> your<br />
hormones. And if you are one who overnurtures<br />
others while under-nurturing<br />
yourself, your body feels that too, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
result is often hormone chaos.<br />
Low Progesterone Levels Create<br />
Turmoil<br />
Low progesterone levels are at the<br />
root cause of thyroid dysfunction <strong>and</strong><br />
weight gain, difficult or painful periods,<br />
fatigue, migraines, insomnia, anxiety,<br />
low mood, low libido, <strong>and</strong> much more.<br />
If you are woman of any age <strong>and</strong> you<br />
are having any of these issues, you likely<br />
have low progesterone levels. If you’ve<br />
had a hysterectomy, even a “partial”<br />
hysterectomy, you can count on it.<br />

High Estrogen Levels Create Serious<br />
Issues<br />
Yes, low estrogen levels can cause<br />
hot flashes <strong>and</strong> night sweats. This is well<br />
known. What’s NOT well known is the fact<br />
that most women are running around with<br />
HIGH estrogen levels. High estrogen levels<br />
are a serious but commonly overlooked<br />
health problem that can lead to fibrocystic<br />
ovaries (PCOS), fibrocystic breasts, <strong>and</strong><br />
endometriosis, <strong>and</strong> if left unchecked can<br />
lead to breast or ovarian cancer.<br />
Just Say No<br />
Using prescription hormones like<br />
Premarin, Estrace, Provera, Vivelle,<br />
Activella or any oral birth control pill can<br />
absolutely wreak havoc on your natural,<br />
sensitive progesterone <strong>and</strong> estrogen<br />
balance, <strong>and</strong> ultimately make things worse<br />
rather than better. Stay clear of these. So<br />
what’s a sensitive woman to do?<br />

Protection from<br />
EMF Smog<br />
By Martyne Backman<br />
We create <strong>and</strong> chronicle our lives on our computers<br />
<strong>and</strong> BlackBerrys. Satellite television <strong>and</strong> the Internet<br />
bring us 24/7 entertainment <strong>and</strong> news from around<br />
the world as it happens. Increasingly we have more options, more<br />
frequencies, stronger signals. From instant messages to instant<br />
dinners, we want it all—<strong>and</strong> we expect it to be better <strong>and</strong> faster<br />
than last week.<br />
The tools <strong>and</strong> devices we use to inform <strong>and</strong> entertain us are taking<br />
a huge toll on our health <strong>and</strong> well-being. Our energy field is the<br />
blueprint for the physical, mental, <strong>and</strong> emotional bodies. If our<br />
energy field gets damaged, our health suffers. The electromagnetic<br />
frequencies of our high-tech world—from satellites, microwaves,<br />
cell phones, wireless Internet, TV <strong>and</strong> radio transmissions—bombard<br />
us three hundred thous<strong>and</strong> times per minute. Every electric,<br />
electronic, <strong>and</strong> battery-powered device produces EMFs (electro<br />
magnetic frequencies) as well. EMFs disrupt our bodies’ natural<br />
energy fields, attack our immune systems, <strong>and</strong> drain us of energy.<br />
As our electronic devices batter our energy fields, they add stress<br />
to our lives. Frequency overload can manifest in different ways:<br />
fatigue, depression, anxiety <strong>and</strong> headaches. As the immune system<br />
breaks down, our bodies become susceptible to problems such as<br />
allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, <strong>and</strong> Fibromyalgia.<br />
Fortunately, you don’t need to move to a deserted isl<strong>and</strong>, but you<br />
do need to arm yourself with a positive energy field more powerful<br />
than the negative frequencies that bombard you every day. The<br />
Rejuvenizers® created by Dr. Phyllis Light are powerful energetic<br />
devices designed to protect <strong>and</strong> heal users from the harmful effects<br />
of EMFs, helping to keep the wearer in a positive, life-supporting<br />
energy field. You can be safe <strong>and</strong> protected wherever you are by<br />
wearing a Rejuvenizer®.<br />
Martyne Backman, a Reiki Master practitioner <strong>and</strong> teacher in Albuquerque,<br />
is the New Mexico representative for the Rejuvenizers®. For<br />

All aboard for the next Dental Tourism trip to beautiful<br />

Smiles for Miles’ very own Elizabeth Ferrell, Holistic<br />
Dental Hygienist.<br />
After numerous personal consultations on dental tourism<br />
(specific to Costa Rica <strong>and</strong> my amazing personal experiences);<br />
I have quite often heard the same question, “When will you<br />
be going back down? I would like to travel with you!” When I<br />
combine these requests with the great response I’ve gotten to<br />
my dental tourism articles, I can only conclude; it’s time now<br />
to schedule a group tour.<br />
Working with a travel agent to get the best airfares to Costa<br />
Rica, along with my personal connections with boutique<br />
hotels, travel centers, bed <strong>and</strong> breakfasts <strong>and</strong> private car/tour<br />
guides, I can now offer package group tours for positively<br />
wonderful Dental Tours to Costa Rica. The group rate is allinclusive,<br />
(except for the dental treatment of course, which will<br />
very with each individual).<br />
Tours will include 7 to 10 days/nights at one of our bed<br />
<strong>and</strong> breakfast locations or boutique hotel, plus airfare, all<br />
airport transfers <strong>and</strong> transportation to <strong>and</strong> from your dental<br />
appointment with dentist of your choice. It will include all<br />
breakfasts <strong>and</strong> five dinners. One group excursion of your<br />
choice will be included as well as lunch that day. Choose from<br />
visiting the beach, volcanoes, waterfalls or rainforest along with<br />
a museum visit in San Jose, Costa Rica.<br />
Best of all, you will have your own personal dental hygienist<br />
right by your side to guide you, reassure you, help you <strong>and</strong> share<br />
in your wonderful positive Costa Rican Dental Experience.<br />

Oh, My Aching Back!<br />
Dr. Kirk Manson, Chiropractic Center for Rehabilitation <strong>and</strong> Relaxation<br />
This statement, “Oh, my aching back!” is one heard<br />
in many doctor’s offices around the country. Low<br />
back pain is the second leading cause of visits to a<br />
doctor, <strong>and</strong> the fifth leading cause for surgery. In<br />
the United States, the total treatment cost <strong>and</strong> lost work time<br />
is approximately 100 billion dollars a year.<br />
Why? Well let’s see what the culprits are? Although there<br />
are a number of causes of lower back pain, too numerous to<br />
discuss in our limited space, the main problem we see in our<br />
office are a misalignment of the joints in the back called a<br />
subluxation. This causes problems with proper nerve function<br />
<strong>and</strong> causes Myofascial pain which is a knot or tight b<strong>and</strong> in the<br />
muscle tissue generating its own unique pain pattern. Most<br />
commonly, these two problems coexist with one another; each<br />
re-enforcing the other.<br />
The main question I am asked by patients is, “How did I<br />
get this problem?” Usually it is a combination of the slips,<br />
trips, <strong>and</strong> falls you had <strong>and</strong> thought you had healed up<br />
from. However, often even then these problems will remain<br />
unnoticed without something more to provoke the pain.<br />
Do you awake with pain? If so, have you considered<br />
one of the more overlooked culprits- that your bed could<br />
be part of the problem? Most people see their bed as simply<br />
the place they rest at night. Instead, think of your mattress<br />
as your orthopedic supportive device which allows you to<br />
awake feeling….rested! If you’re waking up with pain, it<br />
doesn’t matter how much time you spend in the bed if it is not<br />
supporting you. Also remember, the springs tend to wear out<br />
after a few years; creating a new set of problems (which end up<br />
hurting you instead of helping you).<br />
And how about those shoes? Do they support your arches,<br />
all three of them? How long have you had your favorite shoes?<br />
In order to be your favorite, have you had time to develop a<br />
relationship with them? But is it a dysfunctional one? What<br />
is the wear on the heel of the shoe look like? Is it even or it<br />
is worn on one side more than the other? How about those<br />
high heels? By increasing the angle of flexion of the ankle<br />
during walking, the stress along the joints of the ankle<br />
<strong>and</strong> feet shifts forward. This increase in stress on the ankle<br />
changes the gait <strong>and</strong> is transferred to the knees—leading to<br />
an increase in osteoarthritis of the knees <strong>and</strong> destabilization<br />
of the hip muscles. This re-enforces the subluxation previously<br />
mentioned. The trigger points in the gluteals increase as the<br />
body tries to stabilize your gait while your heels are moving<br />
around somewhat r<strong>and</strong>omly.<br />
What about that purse or back pack you are carrying<br />
around with you? Purses should have as little as possible in<br />
them. I know you’ve read this before… but just think about it.<br />
The more you carry on one shoulder slung to the side (with the<br />
weight resting on those small shoulder straps which are pressing<br />
into the muscles in the upper back <strong>and</strong> shoulder trigger points),<br />
the more money you get to spend with doctors <strong>and</strong> therapists<br />
for neck <strong>and</strong> back pain <strong>and</strong> unresolved headaches. People of all<br />
ages are carrying back packs. The weight of backpacks should<br />
be limited to no more than 10 percent of the carrier’s weight<br />
according to the American Chiropractic Association. Studies<br />
show a significant shift in a person’s balance forward with a<br />
greater the percentage of weight someone is carrying.<br />
These are examples of how chronic or recurrent pain is<br />
often provoked by normal activities we take for granted. It<br />
is frequently the case that 2 or 3 activities during our day<br />
are enough to aggravate conditions such as lower back pain;<br />
resulting in years of unnecessary pain.<br />

Clean Up Your Health<br />
with Colonics<br />
By Bill Haggard, LMT #2554<br />
(This is a paid advertisement.)<br />
It’s easy to be passionate about what helped save your life.<br />
Colonics proved invaluable to my health recovery over 23<br />
years ago. I’ve been a colon therapist now for 18+ years.<br />
It’s natural <strong>and</strong> refreshing to bathe or shower; a colonic is<br />
an internal shower. With 60% of your immune system in your<br />
intestinal tract (Jesse Hanley, MD), attention to colon hygiene<br />
could help your health. Cleansing with water supports your<br />
body’s normal detoxification <strong>and</strong> repair. Washing the large<br />
intestine assists other organs of elimination: the liver, lungs,<br />
skin, lymph <strong>and</strong> kidneys.<br />
One meal in, one meal out would make common sense.<br />
Yet in my experience, there is more to cleansing than regular<br />
bowel movements. Stress levels, insufficient water intake,<br />
processed foods, chemical exposures, travel, lack of exercise <strong>and</strong><br />
unprocessed traumas can contribute to accumulation of toxins.<br />
Whatever is breathed, ingested or touches your skin can be<br />
absorbed. Think Twinkies <strong>and</strong> household cleaners.<br />
This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I feel as<br />
though all of the stress of the last year is washing out of my<br />
body. I feel renewed. – Z.W., Albuquerque<br />
After the chemical inhalation at work, I had two years of<br />
brain fog <strong>and</strong> trouble reading. Thank you for dramatically<br />
restoring <strong>and</strong> even improving my health! – G.T., Colorado<br />
My clients do colonics for a variety of reasons. Those in good<br />
health use them as part of a cleansing program or for health<br />
maintenance. Athletes want an edge in their performance.<br />
Many with imbalances want relief from constipation, skin<br />
rashes, food poisoning, excess gas <strong>and</strong> more. For clients with<br />
serious conditions colonics can assist with pain relief/ increased<br />
comfort <strong>and</strong> help improve healing capacity.<br />

Change Your Thinking,<br />
Change Your Life<br />
By Joy Lynn of Joyous Creations<br />
And yes, this applies to food as well. Many of my<br />
personal chef clients share their food journey with<br />
me <strong>and</strong> I have found that a lot of time is spent on<br />
“regretful” thinking, as I like to call it. If I had done this...,<br />
or if I had done that... then I would be “happy”, “skinny”,<br />
“wealthy”—well you get my drift. Or “if I could just...” Well,<br />
you can. Just say YES! And start making small shifts towards<br />
meeting your goals.<br />
Maybe YES! for you is creating space in your life by allowing<br />
us to cook fresh, tasty meals that you just pop out of your<br />
fridge or freezer. Maybe YES! for you is shifting to healthier<br />
eating. That could be something as simple as changing the<br />
way you flavor your food or being more conscious about the<br />
snacks you choose. Fresh herbs are a wonderful way to add a<br />
burst of flavor in a healthy delicious way. Experiment. Make<br />
a commitment to pick out one herb you have not tried before<br />
the next time you make a grocery run.<br />

How to Succeed With Your<br />
Back -To-School Budget<br />
<strong>and</strong> Worry Less About What Could be Lurking in the Lunchbox<br />
From the Whole Deal booklet at Whole Foods Market<br />
Our 365 Everyday Value® <strong>and</strong> 365 Organic Everyday<br />
Value® products are what your pantry <strong>and</strong> pocketbook have<br />
been waiting for. With value prices 365 days a year, our products<br />
are formulated just for us, meet all our quality st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong><br />
will change the way you shop at Whole Foods Market. That’s<br />
because we have it all—from flour <strong>and</strong> condiments to dairy<br />
products <strong>and</strong> frozen veggies. We also offer a wide variety of<br />
organic choices at an incredible value. Below are some products<br />
you might use to pack your child’s lunch <strong>and</strong> feel confident<br />
that there are never any hydrogenated fats, added sugars,<br />
artificial colors or flavors ever used!<br />
365 Everyday Value® Organic Fruit Strips<br />
An actual piece of fruit rules but, FYI these are made<br />
with real organic fruit—no added sugar or artificial colors or<br />
flavors. And they are Naturally Sweet! Varieties include Peach,<br />
Strawberry, Very Berry, Cranberry, Blueberry or Cherry. These<br />
are awesome!<br />
365 Everyday Value® Recloseable S<strong>and</strong>wich<br />
or Storage Bags<br />
Two of the smartest tips for saving are in the bag: pack your<br />
own lunch <strong>and</strong> keep food fresh so it won’t go to waste. Even smarter,<br />
purchase bags that is free of phthalates <strong>and</strong> PVC (polyvinyl<br />
chloride). Choose from S<strong>and</strong>wich bags or Gallon Size Storage Bags.<br />
Whole Foods Market Organic Lip Balm<br />
Heads up! No petroleum here! These are made with all organic<br />
plant oils, beeswax <strong>and</strong> Shea Butter, plus natural flavors<br />
to meet our highest st<strong>and</strong>ards (wholefoodsmarket.com/<br />
premiumbodycare). Choices include Peppermint, Tangerine,<br />
Vanilla Honey or new Pomegranate Orange!<br />
365 Everyday Value® Organic String Cheese<br />
It starts with cows, living the organic lifestyle on family<br />
farms where family members themselves actually work. A<br />
co-op of these farms supplies the milk to produce our string<br />
cheese, <strong>and</strong> as part of the National Organic St<strong>and</strong>ards, they<br />
never treat those honest hard-working cows with the synthetic<br />
hormone rBST. In fact, they go above <strong>and</strong> beyond organic<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards in caring for their animals.<br />
The only three ingredients in this cheese are part-skim<br />
milk, salt <strong>and</strong> microbial enzymes (not animal enzymes). This<br />
cheese is an excellent source of calcium <strong>and</strong> a good source of<br />
protein for snacks <strong>and</strong> lunches.<br />
365 Everyday Value® Kids Cherry-Flavored<br />
Multi-Vitamin<br />
The American Medical Association recommends that<br />
every person take a multivitamin daily. Kids can get all the<br />
nutrients they need if they eat a balanced, healthy diet ever<br />
day with a variety of whole foods, but does that sound like any<br />
kid you know (or any of us, really)? A multi helps ensure they<br />
are getting the essential vitamins <strong>and</strong> minerals necessary for<br />
healthy, strong minds <strong>and</strong> bodies.<br />
While it’s easy to find fun <strong>and</strong> fruity supplements that<br />
taste good to kids, it’s the nutrients they need, not artificial<br />
colors, flavors <strong>and</strong> sweeteners. It’s also important that kid’s<br />
supplements taste good to them. So here’s the cherry on top:<br />
our chewable cherry-flavored multi has no artificial anything.<br />
What it does have—beyond the basics—are additional<br />
nutrients such as spirulina <strong>and</strong> broccoli powders, to provide<br />
extra support.<br />

Supercharge Your<br />
Weight Loss with hCG<br />
By Philomena E. Marcus, CFNP<br />
If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, quickly <strong>and</strong><br />
more easily than ever before, then an hCG program is the<br />
most amazing option you could choose! This incredibly<br />
effective program typically produces a pound a day in<br />
weight loss; <strong>and</strong>, in many cases, up to 2 pounds a day, without<br />
the hunger pains, weakness, or irritability normally associated<br />
with a low calorie diet!<br />
HCG increases metabolism while burning the fat (which has<br />
accumulated in various parts of the body). It works to reshape<br />
your body naturally, without exercise <strong>and</strong> yet avoids the<br />
hanging skin issues often associated with quick weight loss.<br />
What is hCG?<br />
hCG—Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a protein<br />
hormone that is naturally produced in a woman’s body during<br />
pregnancy at extremely high levels without negative side effects.<br />
For years it has been used mainly for fertility <strong>and</strong> other hormonal<br />
issues. Research now shows that hCG is found in every cell of<br />
the body.<br />
Philomena E. Marcus, CFNP<br />
Is hCG Safe?<br />
hCG is extremely safe. During pregnancy, women produce<br />
very high levels with no adverse effects. hCG has been used for<br />
many decades as a fertility treatment with much higher doses<br />
than used for weight loss. hCG only stays in the system for three<br />
days after the last treatment, is FDA approved <strong>and</strong> can only be<br />
obtained by a prescription.<br />
The hCG Story<br />
The use of hCG in the treatment of obesity was first<br />
discovered by the late British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons.<br />
After devoting years to researching patients who were suffering<br />
from obesity, Dr. Simeons first published a report on the topic<br />
in 1954, while practicing in Rome, Italy. Working with some<br />
obese patients on his hCG program, he noticed several important<br />
factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from<br />
a patient on a very low calorie diet. For example, his patients<br />
had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long<br />
as the low calorie diet was combined with hCG. Throughout<br />
his research with hCG diet injections, Dr. Simeons noted how<br />
patients lost significant amounts of weight while their bodies<br />
reshaped naturally without exercise, <strong>and</strong> without effort. This led<br />
him to discover how patients lost more fat tissue directly from<br />
adipose tissue accumulations, causing highly visible contouring<br />
of the body. (From www.hcgdietinfo.com.)<br />
Since Dr. Simeons’ discovery of hCG <strong>and</strong> the success rate<br />
of his hCG protocol for weight loss has been phenomenal. Dr.<br />
Simeons’ weight loss method is so effective that few changes have<br />
been made in his protocol despite four decades of new knowledge,<br />
<strong>and</strong> only recently has received the attention it deserves.<br />
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food <strong>and</strong> Drug Administration<br />
(FDA). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.<br />
hCG is not recognized by the FDA as weight loss drug. hCG is FDA approved.<br />
Can the Integrated Family Wellness Center<br />
guarantee success?<br />
If the program is followed per instructions, you will absolutely<br />
see positive results! We are always here to provide counsel <strong>and</strong><br />
support; however you have ultimate control of how committed<br />
you are to the program. Every patient who has followed the<br />
protocol has seen fast <strong>and</strong> effective weight loss.<br />
Call today, 505-293-1658, to schedule a consultation <strong>and</strong> see if an<br />
hCG program is right for you. We will answer all of your questions<br />
<strong>and</strong> are confident that once you have the information, you will<br />
join the ranks of tens of thous<strong>and</strong>s, including the rich <strong>and</strong> famous<br />
who are experiencing weight loss the hCG way! Philomena Marcus,<br />
CFNP <strong>and</strong> the staff at Integrated Family Wellness Center offers a<br />
transformative, life-enhancing <strong>and</strong> holistic approach to your wellbeing<br />
<strong>and</strong> all of your health care needs!<br />

Spiritual Activism: Being <strong>Alive</strong>,<br />
Aware, <strong>and</strong> Awake<br />
By Rev. Kylie Renner<br />
Have you ever run into a person who is so Spiritual they<br />
are no earthly good? Doesn’t it seem like they’ve missed the<br />
point? The point of being here on the planet at this time can’t<br />
be that we should ignore the fact that we are here together on<br />
the planet. So what does it mean to be together, here <strong>and</strong> now,<br />
in this particular configuration that never existed before <strong>and</strong><br />
will never exist again? Many people mistakenly believe that in<br />
order to remain Spiritual one must remain outside of worldly<br />
events, that to remain Holy one must steer clear of earthly<br />
matters. But what if being involved in the world is important,<br />
even necessary for Spiritual growth?<br />
And, if being involved in the world is necessary for<br />
Spiritual growth, how do we find a powerful path of<br />
Spirituality <strong>and</strong> Presence on the planet? For me, I have<br />
found that being alive, aware, <strong>and</strong> awake means paying close<br />
attention to the activity on the planet so that I can better see<br />
the condition in which things are happening in Spirit. I can<br />
see the exterior world as a reflection, mirroring the activity<br />
<strong>and</strong> condition of my own inner l<strong>and</strong>scape, <strong>and</strong> the exterior<br />
world isn’t where change can take place. I can draw a pretty<br />
face on my bathroom mirror, <strong>and</strong> not change my own face at<br />
all. When I smile, my reflection smiles back. The same is true<br />
if I close my eyes to what is being reflected; I am still affected<br />
by what is going on around me, but I have closed my eyes to<br />
knowing its cause.<br />
So how do we interact with the world? I can vigorously<br />
campaign to bring about change, but if I do not first underst<strong>and</strong><br />
my own Spirit I cannot truly change a thing. I can stomp my<br />
feet, <strong>and</strong> claim injustice or close my eyes <strong>and</strong> deny it all, but I<br />
will be ineffectual, because all I will have demonstrated is that<br />
I am against the world. I will not have stood for something<br />
more.<br />
Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science petitions<br />
us who seek an elevated Spiritual experience, to be FOR<br />
something <strong>and</strong> against nothing, <strong>and</strong> this can be one of the<br />
most difficult principles to both underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> implement in<br />
our lives. Being against something or saying “no” to it means<br />
that I’m still giving my attention to it, just in a different way.<br />
To be effective, I must focus my attention on what I am FOR,<br />
instead of letting my attention get derailed by what I am<br />
against.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ing for something more transcends all of our little<br />
“no’s” with a more powerful “yes”. It means that I am aware of<br />
the activity of Spirit <strong>and</strong> am willing to surrender my limited<br />
idea for myself <strong>and</strong> the planet to be able to experience more of<br />
the good that is already seeking me. It means doing my own<br />
inner transformative work so that I set myself free to experience<br />
joy, peace, fulfillment, <strong>and</strong> maybe even bliss. It is not the<br />
universe’s intention that we live in fear, or lack, or any sense of<br />
limitation. All around us, if we are looking with the right eyes,<br />
are reminders of infinite love, possibility, <strong>and</strong> abundance. A<br />
young child, the eyes of an elderly person, roses in bloom, a<br />
magnificent tree, a work of art, a community event—these<br />
reminders can allow us to move deeper into experiencing what<br />
it means to be truly human, TRULY Spiritual.<br />
Being aware of the activity of Spirit in our lives, is to be<br />
a Spiritual Activist…to see how we participate in it, <strong>and</strong> to<br />
st<strong>and</strong> for something more—a world that works for everyone<br />
in which all life prospers—a world in which generous sharing<br />
of heart <strong>and</strong> resources is the everywhere. Join us to activate<br />
Spirit in your life, live with purpose, <strong>and</strong> transform the world<br />

TMJ <strong>and</strong> Chronic Pain,<br />
Plus Natural Pain Relief<br />
By Bill Wolfe, DDS<br />
SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE IN ALBUQUERQUE!<br />
Approximately 40 percent of all healthy individuals<br />
suffer from chronic headaches, <strong>and</strong> one out of eight<br />
people suffer from headaches so severe that they<br />
cannot function normally. Often, these problems are<br />
related to a common cause of chronic pain: TMJ syndrome.<br />
TMJ st<strong>and</strong>s for temporom<strong>and</strong>ibular joint. This is the joint in<br />
the jaw that allows the jaw to open, close. move backward <strong>and</strong><br />
forward, <strong>and</strong> from side to side. The term “TMJ Syndrome” refers<br />
to a malpositioning of the respective jaw structures <strong>and</strong> associated<br />
muscles. This condition results in muscle contractions, which<br />
are a factor in approximately 80 percent of all tension-related<br />
headaches. Some 75 million Americans are affected, but only<br />
about five percent are actually diagnosed correctly <strong>and</strong> treated.<br />
If you have any combination of the following complaints,<br />
you may be suffering from TMJ syndrome <strong>and</strong> related<br />
headaches:<br />
• Dizziness <strong>and</strong>/or lightheadedness<br />
• Ringing, buzzing, or clogged ears<br />

• Spasm <strong>and</strong>/or tightening in the back of the neck, shoulders, or<br />
face<br />
• Clicking or popping noises’ when opening or closing the jaw<br />
• Inability to open the mouth fully<br />
• Locking of the jaw joint<br />
• Pain behind the eyes<br />
• Earaches <strong>and</strong> sinus pain<br />
• Loss of upper body strength with teeth closed.<br />
While this patient did not specifically suffer from TMJrelated<br />
headaches, her TMJ journey is compelling <strong>and</strong><br />
may be of assistance to you:<br />
Dr. Wolfe:<br />
Before I came to see you, I had suff ered for 27 years. Various<br />
diagnoses (Meniere’s syndrome, neurological problems, “something<br />
akin to a form of epilepsy”, extreme vertigo <strong>and</strong> sleep apnea) were<br />
off ered, but no help. I was unable to walk across open spaces; had<br />
problems with driving; extreme sensitivity to light; a nervous system<br />
in a constant state of high alert; diffi culty with my neck; clinching<br />
<strong>and</strong> grinding of my teeth so that my back teeth ground down very<br />
badly. My social life was severely hampered.<br />
Although I saw numerous dentists over the years, <strong>and</strong> more than<br />
one of them mentioned that I may have a TMJ problem, no dentist<br />
addressed it. When I came to you, you knew quickly that my problems<br />
were related to TMJ. Finally I had a correct diagnosis! From<br />
the first day of treatment, I felt an easing in my jaw. Within a short<br />
time, I was walking unassisted <strong>and</strong> less reactive to light. Now I am<br />
enjoying an amazingly healthy life, without any of the prior restrictions<br />
or symptoms. I have been truly Resurrected! Thank you, thank you,<br />
thank you, Dr. Wolfe for giving me my life back!<br />
– Judy Barrett, Santa Fe<br />
TMJ Syndrome, although not a threat to longevity, can<br />
cause a lifetime of suffering. With appropriate treatment of<br />

Healing<br />
with Moxibustion<br />
By Linda Sullivan, DOM<br />
This powerful treatment stimulates circulation <strong>and</strong> a<br />
smoother flow of blood through the acupuncture points<br />
<strong>and</strong> throughout the body. It also produces a calming, analgesic<br />
(pain relieving) effect. When the skin is warmed by the<br />
moxibustion process, an anti-inflammatory response is initiated<br />
<strong>and</strong> the healing response is triggered. It’s an amazing therapeutic<br />
tool that’s been used with acupuncture for centuries.<br />
Moxibustion can be applied in dif-<br />
ferent ways; directly or indirectly. Direct<br />
moxibustion therapy involves the process<br />
of burning the dried herb artemesia<br />
vulgaris over certain parts of the body or<br />
acupuncture needles. This produces heat,<br />
Traditional Moxibustion<br />
which can penetrate deeply into the muscles<br />
Set from Ibuki (Japan) <strong>and</strong> acupuncture meridians. The fragrance<br />
of the herb travels through the meridians regulating Qi (life force)<br />
<strong>and</strong> blood, <strong>and</strong> expelling cold from the meridians. The process can<br />
beautifully resolve the symptoms of the common cold, abdominal<br />
discomfort (<strong>and</strong> other types of pain), diarrhea <strong>and</strong> muscle spasms.<br />
It also works well when used for urinary problems, phlegm in the<br />
lungs, poor digestion, nodules in the skin <strong>and</strong> arthritis.<br />
In conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion therapy can<br />
also be very effective for many diseases <strong>and</strong> conditions including<br />
back pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, tendonitis,<br />
arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, <strong>and</strong> female health problems<br />
such as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, <strong>and</strong> infertility.<br />
In the h<strong>and</strong>s of a skilled doctor of Oriental Medicine who underst<strong>and</strong>s<br />
where <strong>and</strong> how to apply it, moxibustion can be used<br />
safely <strong>and</strong> effectively with great results. To learn more about moxibustion<br />
<strong>and</strong> whether or not it could benefit, you, please call Linda<br />

When it was first published in<br />
1994, Women’s Bodies, Women’s<br />
Wisdom quickly became<br />
an international bestseller, <strong>and</strong> for the past<br />
fifteen years it has remained the veritable bible<br />
of women’s health. Now—fully updated<br />
<strong>and</strong> revised—Women’s Bodies, Women’s<br />
Wisdom was re-issued simultaneously as a<br />
Bantam Books Hardcover <strong>and</strong> a Bantam<br />
Trade Paperback on June 1, 2010 in t<strong>and</strong>em<br />
with her PBS special Christiane Northrup:<br />
Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.<br />
In this revised <strong>and</strong> updated edition, worldrenowned<br />
<strong>and</strong> much-beloved women’s<br />
health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup<br />
shares the latest developments <strong>and</strong> advances<br />
that will maximize our potential for living<br />
well in our bodies today. Women’s Bodies,<br />
Women’s Wisdom, lets you take control of<br />
your medical options <strong>and</strong> powerfully demonstrates<br />
that when women with health<br />
problems change the basic conditions of<br />
their lives, they heal faster, more completely,<br />
<strong>and</strong> with far fewer medical interventions.<br />
Every chapter of this comprehensive<br />
guide has been reviewed for accuracy <strong>and</strong><br />
includes the most up-to-date information<br />
covering an entire range of women’s health<br />
concerns. Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom<br />
provides a behind-the-scenes tour of<br />
the female body, <strong>and</strong> is a must-have for every<br />
woman interested in knowing how to<br />
truly thrive <strong>and</strong> flourish.<br />
<strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong>: In your updated book, you<br />
talk about changing our thoughts <strong>and</strong> behaviors<br />
to create a healthy society. How<br />
do you suggest one begin to be more conscious<br />
in order to bring about this change?<br />
Dr. Christiane Northrup: The first thing<br />
people have to underst<strong>and</strong> is that the system<br />
of western medicine is very limited. It<br />
is effective for accidents, but it doesn’t do a<br />
good job with chronic, degenerative diseases<br />
such as osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease,<br />
cancer, diabetes <strong>and</strong> obesity. I heard a<br />
statistic recently that the average American<br />
man, woman & child uses 16 prescription<br />
medications to address issues that are<br />
largely stress related. We forget that conditions<br />
stem from the way we think about<br />
things! We get a headache <strong>and</strong> we think,<br />
“I’m so stressed at work,” or we feel a little<br />
depressed, <strong>and</strong> instead of realizing that the<br />
sadness indicates that there’s a need that<br />
isn’t being met, we go <strong>and</strong> get a prescription<br />
for Prozac. Western medicine concludes<br />
that disease is caused by germs <strong>and</strong><br />
if we have a bacterial infection, we take an<br />
anti-biotic. What it doesn’t consider is that<br />
the anti-biotic kills not only the potential<br />
germ, it kills friendly bacteria in our bodies<br />
(naturally occurring mostly in our guts,<br />
but other areas as well) <strong>and</strong> so, the single<br />
bullet western approach ends up creating<br />
an imbalance <strong>and</strong> often other health issues<br />
as a result. The other thing we can do to is<br />
to become emotionally literate. The emotions<br />
of anger <strong>and</strong> sadness mean you have<br />
a need that is not being met. We live in<br />
a culture that suggests that anytime something<br />
hurts, we should get over it immediately<br />
<strong>and</strong> move on; that there should be a<br />
pill for it. Rather than doing the hard work<br />
of identifying the need (<strong>and</strong> by the way we<br />
have all been talked out of our needs since<br />
childhood, ‘Don’t cry, or I’ll give you something<br />
to cry about.’). Unmet needs remain<br />
in the body crying out for attention, <strong>and</strong><br />
over time, if they are not attended to, the<br />
body will call our attention to that unmet<br />
need. And oftentimes ‘dis-ease’ is the end<br />
result. It starts with cellular inflammation.<br />
And cell membranes are the ‘brain’ of the<br />
cell. And, the cell membranes of one cell<br />
have the ability to communicate with all<br />
cells all over the body, almost simultaneously!<br />
We start to see the new paradigm; we<br />
start to see our bodies as a living organism<br />
in which one aspect of thought <strong>and</strong> emotion<br />
affects every other aspect of the body.<br />
TA: Could you please elaborate on this<br />
statement from the book, “Step 3: Respect<br />
<strong>and</strong> Release Your Emotions.”<br />
CN: Respect goes back to what we talked<br />
about earlier; which is that your emotion<br />
is there for a reason. It’s not because you<br />
are a flawed human being. Your emotion<br />
is trying to tell you something. The only<br />
way to move an emotion out of your body<br />
is to feel it. Feel it to heal it. All an emotion<br />
wants is to be respected <strong>and</strong> felt. And it will<br />
keep coming around over <strong>and</strong> over because<br />
usually the emotion is coming from an unhealed<br />
part of the physiology usually lost in<br />
childhood. This was a pain that you stuffed<br />
down because it wasn’t safe to feel it then<br />
<strong>and</strong> now it’s locked in time <strong>and</strong> space <strong>and</strong><br />
needs to be released.<br />
TA: One of my favorite quotes of<br />
yours is “Regardless of our individual<br />
circumstances...each of us has inner<br />
guidance available now <strong>and</strong> always to<br />
create vibrant health”. Can you exp<strong>and</strong><br />
on that a bit?<br />
CN: We each have this inner compass; this<br />
inner GPS that tells us what feels good <strong>and</strong><br />
what doesn’t feel good; what turns us on <strong>and</strong><br />
off; what increases blood supply, what shuts<br />
it down. We can call it our, “inner guidance<br />
system, our inner being, our 6th sense,<br />
emotional intelligence”. You have the key<br />
to the ignition <strong>and</strong> you can drive your life<br />
down the road the way you want to go. But<br />
20 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010
the moment you begin to give your power<br />
away; the moment you begin to think that<br />
doctors (or your mother or God forbid, the<br />
government) knows more than you, you are<br />
really in trouble. You don’t need to push up<br />
against that. You can work from wherever<br />
you are. More <strong>and</strong> more people are turning<br />
off the doom <strong>and</strong> gloom of what’s out there<br />
in the data sphere <strong>and</strong> choosing joy <strong>and</strong><br />
choosing health; choosing to listen to their<br />
own inner guidance, because it’s the only<br />
stance that makes sense. It’s the one associated<br />
with better sight, hearing, immunity,<br />
cardiovascular function. You can choose to<br />
be pessimistic if you want to, but it doesn’t<br />
make any sense once you know the data.<br />
TA: Can you tell our readers a bit about<br />
the power of naming <strong>and</strong> why it is so<br />
important?<br />
CN: When you can name something, you’ve<br />
taken a felt sense (vague sense of something)<br />
<strong>and</strong> moved it from the body to the right<br />
hemisphere of the brain (the creative center<br />
that sees visually, spatially, that feels, etc.,<br />
but has no language)—an idea that was not<br />
articulated across the corpus colusum into<br />
the left hemisphere which has language <strong>and</strong><br />
has the ability to articulate something. Once<br />
I had seen this new model/old mindset experience<br />
over <strong>and</strong> over, it gave me a way to<br />
deal with it artfully. A beautiful example is<br />
Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication.<br />
In the book, he has a list of needs<br />
correlated with a list of emotions—I found<br />
this information life changing. The missing<br />
piece for me was that the emotion is there as<br />
our inner guidance system to tell us when<br />
we have a need. We don’t have a language of<br />
emotional needs in our culture, but when I<br />
look at the list of emotions <strong>and</strong> I look at his<br />
corresponding list of needs, it was complete<br />
paradigm shift for me. It gave me a way to<br />
teach people how to become emotionally<br />
literate. When you go around saying, “I’m<br />
overwhelmed.” Can you see how that isn’t<br />
going to help you? If someone says to you,<br />
“Do you need rest, food, reassurance? Tell<br />
me a story about what’s going on in your<br />
life emotionally <strong>and</strong> I’ll help you identify<br />
the need <strong>and</strong> how to get it met.” Now that’s<br />
helpful! Once you can name the need, you<br />
are free!<br />
TA: How can we become more aware<br />
of our intuitive (guidance, nudges,<br />
messages, leadings, etc.)?<br />
CN: We have to start with the desire to become<br />
aware of it <strong>and</strong> want to cultivate it.<br />
We then have to be willing to give it space.<br />
If you have filled your life every waking moment<br />
with TV or radio, or spending every<br />
moment online or communicating with the<br />
data sphere, it has your complete attention.<br />
Many people feel that sitting in meditation<br />
is the best way to quiet the mind but for<br />
others, going for a walk can be a great way of<br />
cultivating intuition because the rhythmic<br />
motion of the legs <strong>and</strong> arms tends to balance<br />
the hemispheres of the brain <strong>and</strong> then<br />
information comes in more easily. Whatever<br />
feels right for you to create the space; do<br />
that. Then you learn to look for the signs,<br />
which are everywhere. The more you look,<br />
the more comes in <strong>and</strong> then it gets really<br />
fun! The synchronicities are everywhere—<br />
we just don’t normally see them. But when<br />
you combine space with intention, it’s as if<br />
you start to get a direct line to the universe.<br />
Fabulous!<br />
TA: How can women begin to realize how<br />
our cultural programming affects our<br />
lower genital areas <strong>and</strong> can cause issues?<br />
CN: This is a beautiful question. Let’s take<br />
a moment to look at the mythology of<br />
western civilization, particularly the Judeo-<br />
Christian <strong>and</strong> the Muslim ethic. Women<br />
are created to suffer during the menstrual<br />
cycle <strong>and</strong> they shall bring forth their children<br />
in pain <strong>and</strong> suffering because Eve ate<br />
the apple. We are taught that the genital<br />
areas are not safe; they are ‘dangerous’.<br />
We are told in a million ways not to touch<br />
yourself ‘down there’ that it’s ‘dirty’, <strong>and</strong>/<br />
or that total strangers will come up to you<br />
want to touch you ‘down there’. We get the<br />
idea that something is very peculiar about<br />
the lower area of our bodies. Then, we look<br />
at the statistic that one in three women is<br />
raped in their lifetime <strong>and</strong> about one in four<br />
is sexually abused <strong>and</strong> we can see why there<br />
is a problem around the genitalia. I’ve come<br />
to see that women store their pain around<br />
their g spots (the clitoris has roots that go<br />
from the outer genitalia right into the g<br />
spot—the sacred spot) <strong>and</strong> when you begin<br />
to touch that area, all kinds of emotions can<br />
come up. But when you get through that,<br />
by breathing <strong>and</strong> breaking up adhesions, or<br />
whatever needs to be done, then you can get<br />
in touch with bliss beyond anything you can<br />
imagine, because—the lower genital tract<br />
<strong>and</strong> the pelvic floor are the seat of life force.<br />
You can’t have a maximally luscious life if<br />
you cut yourself off from the waist down.<br />
This is the biological center for birth <strong>and</strong><br />
creativity. Sexual energy is what created our<br />
bodies. That’s why sex sells. We hear about<br />
sex <strong>and</strong> our bodies wake up! This is what<br />
created our bodies – no wonder we are interested<br />
in it! You can actually devote orgasmic<br />
energy to the creation of whatever you want<br />
(a new job, a book, or the bettering of your<br />
relationship.) Let me be clear about this; I<br />
am a monogamous heterosexual woman.<br />
What I know about women is that most require<br />
a monogamous relationship in which<br />
they feel safe. That creates a solid ‘container’<br />
for sexual energy. My approach is this; to feel<br />
more <strong>and</strong> more <strong>and</strong> more with less <strong>and</strong> less<br />
<strong>and</strong> less stimulation…to be in direct contact<br />
with life force; plants, trees, the air. We are<br />
sexual beings; that’s what we are! I am very<br />
interested in sexual energy for a dynamic<br />
force for good in the world.<br />
TA: You have talked about mammography<br />
vs. thermography. Why don’t more people<br />
know about thermography <strong>and</strong> why do<br />
you believe it is a good method for breast<br />
screening?<br />
CN: Mammography is a static x-ray type<br />
of technology, whereas thermography is<br />
a more functional test. What I like about<br />
thermography is that it measures heat in the<br />
body with a camera. There is no down side;<br />
no side effects. And it can detect a potential<br />
issue before it becomes ominous; giving you<br />
time to implement a program to turn things<br />
around (changes in diet, nutrition <strong>and</strong> exercise),<br />
before you get a cancer diagnosis. Statistically,<br />
40% of women who die in car accidents<br />
in their 40’s have some abnormality<br />
in their breast <strong>and</strong> the majority will never<br />
become invasive cancer. It’s something you<br />
will die with instead of die from. The new<br />
high resolution mammograms are unfortunately<br />
picking up too much ductal carcinoma<br />
in situ (DCIS) <strong>and</strong> telling women that<br />
they have breast cancer. And so there is great<br />
over treatment only because no one knows<br />
what else to do. That’s<br />
why I like thermography;<br />
but it’s not an established<br />
technology<br />
in most medical centers<br />
– yet. The cost<br />
of an annual mammogram<br />
<strong>and</strong> having<br />
it read is very profitable<br />
for the providers.<br />
Any diagnostic<br />
medical test that’s<br />
making huge amounts of<br />
money is going to work hard to own the<br />
<strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010 21
modality <strong>and</strong> there are going to be struggles for any competitive<br />
test to make inroads. It hasn’t gotten a foothold yet because of the<br />
economics.<br />
TA: Could you describe the difference between healing <strong>and</strong><br />
curing as you so eloquently wrote about in the first edition of<br />
Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom?<br />
CN: Curing is what we expect drugs <strong>and</strong> surgery to do. So let’s<br />
say that you have chronic pelvic pain <strong>and</strong> you remove the uterus<br />
<strong>and</strong> the pain goes away. So you have ‘cured’ the chronic pelvic<br />
pain. You have not healed it. Because to heal it, you must go back<br />
<strong>and</strong> acknowledge the emotions, the pain, the feelings associated<br />
with chronic pelvic pain. Healing something is seeing the fullness<br />
of what it is caused by <strong>and</strong> then releasing it at the cellular level.<br />
You can give medication to mask symptoms <strong>and</strong> you can do surgery<br />
<strong>and</strong> remove things, but these do not ‘heal’ anything. I like to<br />
use medicine <strong>and</strong>/or surgery <strong>and</strong> emotional work together- which<br />
achieves curing <strong>and</strong> healing at the same time. So let’s say that<br />
you’re having surgery for a huge ovarian cyst (as a friend of mine<br />
did). She did a huge amount of healing around her relationship<br />
with her father; had a whole ceremony around going into surgery<br />
<strong>and</strong> released the ovary. When she came out on the other end, she<br />
was completely healed <strong>and</strong> cured!<br />
TA: Dr. Northrup, here is one more of my favorite quotes of<br />
yours. Can you speak to it?<br />
CN: “Adequate is not optimal.” That comes very specifically<br />
from the Vitamin D research. There are many other nutrients for<br />
which we could say the same thing. When people look at the RDA<br />
(recommended daily allowance for a nutrient) what you are looking<br />
at is a figure that the government determined that would prevent<br />
a gross deficiency disease. So if you take 400 IU of vitamin D<br />
(which has been the RDA for years), you will not get rickets, but<br />
you will not have high enough levels to have optimal health; nor<br />
would your immunity be strong enough to prevent breast or bowel<br />
cancer or interact with heart health. So when you look at optimal<br />
for Vitamin D, it’s looking like the amount you need to take is<br />
5000 IU daily. The new discussion for nutrition is optimal instead<br />
of adequate nutrition. We have moved from the idea from preventing<br />
deficiencies to what would be truly ideal, not just getting by.<br />
TA: Dr. Northrup, is there anything else that you would like<br />
my readers to know about?<br />
CN: The only other thing is my Facebook fan page. I love posting<br />
my most current ideas there. It’s a really fun place for me to have a<br />
temperature check with what’s going on; what people are thinking<br />
<strong>and</strong> so on. My page is facebook/drchristianenorthrup.<br />
Looking for a Portal<br />
to the Divine?<br />
You’re already st<strong>and</strong>ing in it, Part I<br />
By Jennifer Vaitkus, White Horse<br />
Recently, I was in Engl<strong>and</strong> on a Sacred Sites Tour <strong>and</strong><br />
one of our stops was of course, Stonehenge. This tour<br />
focused on feeling the energy of the sacred sites. Our own<br />
Spirit Guides also shared information about the sites. According<br />
to one Guide, Stonehenge was one of the planet’s many<br />
Portals, an energetic doorway into this dimension.<br />
Information from my guide, Sophia came through <strong>and</strong> she<br />
said that while Stonehenge is indeed a portal, the most powerful<br />
portals of all were our very own bodies. At that moment I<br />
knew I needed to know more <strong>and</strong> that it would turn out to be<br />
an important theme in my life.<br />
In a later meditation, Sophia began with saying that the human<br />
body is EXTREMELY powerful beyond what we now<br />
know. But before we underst<strong>and</strong> the potential of our bodies,<br />
we must reclaim them. We must be present in our bodies <strong>and</strong><br />
know that our physicality is Divine, in ALL forms. Many of<br />
us reject our bodies by continuously finding fault with them;<br />
they are “not strong enough”, “not healthy enough”, “always in<br />
pain”, “not attractive enough”, etc. Many of us are constantly<br />
operating from our minds <strong>and</strong> go for hours forgetting that our<br />
bodies exist. Some of us are so detached from our bodies that<br />
hours become years.<br />
If the first step to underst<strong>and</strong>ing the power of the human<br />
body is to reclaim it <strong>and</strong> be present in it, what can you do to<br />
facilitate this? Take time to listen <strong>and</strong> your body WILL tell you<br />
what it needs. I know that through dance, I am in my body <strong>and</strong><br />
know my Divinity.<br />
Next time, I’ll continue with what I’ve learned from Goddess<br />
Sophia about the unseen power of our human bodies <strong>and</strong> where<br />
they can take us. Until then, begin to renew your relationship<br />
with your own incredibly powerful <strong>and</strong> beautiful body.<br />

Amazing Results from Users of<br />
Breakthrough Anti-Inflammatory<br />
By Sunil Pai, MD – Integrative Medicine<br />
Bosmeric-SR TM available now at Sanjevani Integrative Medicine<br />
Health & Lifestyle Center — www.bosmeric-sr.com<br />
Since the last article about the development <strong>and</strong> launch of<br />
Bosmeric-SR, the strongest natural anti-inflammatory<br />
available worldwide, Sanjevani Health & Lifestyle Center<br />
has had overwhelming success with our patients <strong>and</strong><br />
clients using the product. Following is some of the feedback we<br />
have received.<br />
The experience of a brain tumor patient, who after surgery<br />
was wheelchair bound <strong>and</strong> unable to walk on her own: After 8<br />
weeks of treatment with Bosmeric-SR along with our other treatment<br />
protocols, this patient is now walking unassisted. As clinical studies<br />
have shown (available in the research section of Bosmeric-SR.com),<br />
the patented extract of Curcumin C3 Complex <strong>and</strong> Boswellin Super<br />
reduce brain tumors <strong>and</strong> decrease the growth of cancers through its antiinfl<br />
ammatory effects. Bosmeric-SR is great post-surgical procedure, also<br />
following radiation <strong>and</strong> even chemotherapy.<br />
A 50 year old marathon runner who was experiencing<br />
increasing painful muscle cramping <strong>and</strong> joint pain after races<br />
experience: This patient started taking higher doses of acetaminophen<br />
(Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin) <strong>and</strong> naproxen (Aleve) without relief. She<br />
also started to experience severe stomach upset. She was concerned about<br />
the possible side effects of these drugs. We suggested she take 2 caplets of<br />
Bosmeric-SR twice daily after races <strong>and</strong> during pre-race training. She<br />
had relief immediately on the first day <strong>and</strong> then began using it daily.<br />
She can now compete without pain <strong>and</strong> her performance has greatly<br />
improved. She was so happy about her results that she has taken the<br />
Bosmeric-SR to her running club to share with her friends. She has also<br />
suggested it to her sister who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.<br />
Unlike acetaminophen (Tylenol) that can cause liver problems;<br />
ibuprofen (Motrin) that can cause stomach <strong>and</strong> kidney problems <strong>and</strong><br />
aspirin that can cause GI bleeding; naproxen (Aleve) that can cause<br />
heart attack, GI bleeding <strong>and</strong> stroke (without any prior symptoms<br />
or use of the product), Bosmeric-SR has NO SIDE EFFECTS. In<br />
fact, it has a gastro-protective effect due to the clinical dose of 35%<br />
gingerols (35 mg). This protects the stomach for ulcer, gastritis <strong>and</strong><br />
other irritation <strong>and</strong> helps those who have nausea or stomach upset.<br />
Furthermore, Bosmeric-SR is the only natural anti-inflammatory<br />
that is delivered in a sustained-release caplet to provide benefits up to<br />
8 hours. Fewer caplets provide longer relief <strong>and</strong> is safer for your health.<br />
The experience of a 60 year old store manager who fell off a<br />
ladder <strong>and</strong> injured his lower back, hips <strong>and</strong> legs: This gentleman<br />
was experiencing swelling, bruising <strong>and</strong> pain in the lower back, hips<br />
<strong>and</strong> legs <strong>and</strong> was opposed to taking pharmaceutical pain pills which<br />
just mask the body’s perception of pain but have no healing effects. He<br />
felt the effects of Bosmeric-SR immediately <strong>and</strong> was able to return to<br />
work sooner than he expected. He was so impressed that he comes in<br />
regularly to buy Bosmeric-SR for his friends <strong>and</strong> co-workers who are<br />
experiencing pain.<br />
The experience shared by a 40 year old female from a small<br />
town in Texas with painful periods <strong>and</strong> excessive bleeding due<br />
to fibroids <strong>and</strong> migraine headaches: This patient was prescribed a<br />
contraceptive pill that would regulate her menstrual cycle to 4 times<br />
a year along with prescription pain medications. After 1 year without<br />
relief of symptoms <strong>and</strong> an increase in fibroids, weight gain <strong>and</strong><br />
worsening migraine headaches she came to Sanjevani for help. During<br />
her consultation, she had extreme pain <strong>and</strong> heavy bleeding <strong>and</strong> was<br />
given 2 caplets of Bosmeric-SR. Within 2 hours, her menstrual fl ow<br />
decreased to spotting <strong>and</strong> her pain completely disappeared, including<br />
her migraine. This was her first experience using natural medicines <strong>and</strong><br />
since then she has been an enthusiastic advocate. In fact, she quit her job<br />
as a waitress <strong>and</strong> went to work at her local health food store.<br />
Bosmeric-SR is available at Sanjevani Integrative Health & Lifestyle<br />
Center, 7920 Wyoming Blvd NE, Suite B, Albuquerque 505-821-6300,<br />

Empower Yourself Now!<br />
Learn to Channel<br />
By Betsy-Morgan Coffman<br />
For 21 years, I have been teaching people from all walks<br />
of life to embrace what’s natural about us. That would be our<br />
innate ability to “just know the truth”. Eventually the truth<br />
will surface. So, why wait? Empower <strong>and</strong> free yourself today.<br />
Learn to Channel!<br />
What’s the difference in channeling <strong>and</strong> being psychic?<br />
When you channel, you connect to guides or angels from higher<br />
dimensions that love you <strong>and</strong> feed you Universal information.<br />
When you are psychic, you connect to your own inner<br />
wisdom through clairvoyance, telepathy, clairsentience, or clairaudience.<br />
I like to refer to these 2 terms this way. Being “psychic”<br />
is ordering in, <strong>and</strong> doing “channeling” is ordering out!<br />
Which way will I learn when I take classes from you?<br />
BOTH! When you learn how to channel using the Orion<br />
Technology, your 7th chakra at the top of your head will open.<br />
Then, Orion actually lifts your energy to connect you to your<br />
personal channeling <strong>and</strong> healing guides.<br />
As their energy moves through your chakras, your chakras<br />
are re-awakened to their natural abilities <strong>and</strong> your innate gifts<br />
are restored. It’s very normal, very easy, <strong>and</strong> so comfortable!<br />

Will I be able to do predictions for others <strong>and</strong> myself?<br />
YES! However, please be advised that some high level guides<br />
don’t do predictions. They prefer to offer options <strong>and</strong> guidance,<br />
<strong>and</strong> encourage the individual towards what is for their highest<br />
good…explaining the lessons they are learning <strong>and</strong> why. If it is<br />
available information, predictions are easy to receive.<br />
Can you teach me how to be a medium? YES! This may<br />
surprise some to hear this, but channeling is very similar to mediumship.<br />
Being a medium, one talks to people who are in heaven,<br />
or in their afterlife experience. Being a channel, one talks to<br />
Spirits who are having their own higher dimensional experience.<br />
Once you channel, you will see that it is not that different or<br />
difficult. Some of my favorite experiences are seeing people tearup<br />
as they reconnect with <strong>and</strong> speak messages of love from their<br />
family members in heaven on the first day of class!<br />
Is there a way that I can experience what you do as a<br />
channel before investing my time <strong>and</strong> money? YES! I am offering<br />
something new called “The 12 Mondays before Christmas”<br />
program where you can meet me <strong>and</strong> listen to me channel. You<br />
may ask a question that will be answered through channeling.<br />
Each Monday experience costs only $10 <strong>and</strong> lasts just over an<br />
hour. You can also call me at 505-275-4746 or email me at<br />
AskBetsyMorgan@Yahoo.com for more information.<br />
Is there a way I can hear you channel from the comfort<br />
of my own home <strong>and</strong> for free? YES! Tune into my radio show,<br />
“Betsy-Morgan Channels Live” every Monday, Wednesday, <strong>and</strong><br />
Friday at 10am. It’s a blog talk station called Sedona Talk<br />
Radio. You can listen from your phone <strong>and</strong> call in with<br />
questions <strong>and</strong> receive free answers live <strong>and</strong> on the air at:<br />
347-994-2091.<br />
Hundreds of channels have successfully trained with me using<br />
the safe <strong>and</strong> effective Orion Technology…<strong>and</strong> I can train you, too!<br />
– All it takes is one fun-filled <strong>and</strong> life-altering weekend. If you<br />
have ever considered learning, if you have ever wondered if you<br />
could be psychic,<br />
Join Me Now! Saturday <strong>and</strong> Sunday – October 16th<br />

Is there a way my friends in other states can explore<br />
channeling before signing up for a class? YES! Once a<br />
month I host a teleconference (telephone) class where people<br />
learn about channeling, meet one of their guides <strong>and</strong> receive<br />
a message of love. For only $20, anyone living anywhere can<br />

Bosom Buddy<br />
By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM<br />
Dr. Christiane Northrup laughingly says that we have<br />
been taught to think of our breasts as “two pre-cancerous<br />
lesions”. It’s humorous because there is truth in her<br />
statement. We’ve been taught to expect our breasts to betray us.<br />
They need to be held up in a wired sling in order to be attractive.<br />
They sag on us, the minute we age beyond our teens. They are tender<br />
<strong>and</strong> uncomfortable at least once a month for years <strong>and</strong> they<br />
have more than 300 names that have nothing to do with their<br />
function: ta-tas, hooters, knockers, melons….the list goes on.<br />
As this issue of <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> is on the shelves, we will be reminded<br />
on a daily basis that October is “Breast Cancer Awareness”<br />
month—not “Breast Health Awareness” month. We’ve been so<br />
busy “racing for a cure”, for the past 30 years; that we haven’t<br />
taken time to learn about a breast screening tool that is able to<br />
detect suspicious changes at a very early stage, before there is need<br />
for “a cure”.<br />
Thermography is our “bosom buddy”. It measures the heat<br />
given off by our breasts/ body without “squishing or radiation”.<br />
Heat patterns vary with increased cellular inflammation which<br />
can indicate the beginning of cancer. Using thermography, we<br />
can do something about inflammation years before it becomes a<br />
disease. And, women are happy to have a painless, radiation-free<br />
screening that allows them to be pro-active in their health. A color<br />
image of your breasts makes it easy to see areas of inflammation<br />
(which can be improved with breast massage, exercise <strong>and</strong>/or<br />
reduced caffeine intake).<br />
The five views<br />
that are used in<br />
thermographic<br />
breast screening.<br />
In Dr. Northrup’s PBS special she says that thermography will<br />
become mainstream within the decade. She is usually right.<br />

“Earthing” the Most Important<br />
Health Discovery Ever?<br />
By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM<br />
The Earth has a limitless supply of negatively charged free<br />
electrons that neutralize positively charged free radicals.<br />
Free radicals are the “little buggers” that cause tissue<br />
damage <strong>and</strong> inflammation in our bodies. Chronic inflammation<br />
has been identified as the cause of many diseases; such as diabetes,<br />
cancer, autoimmune disorders <strong>and</strong> cardiovascular disorders.<br />
“Earthing” involves making direct contact with the Earth<br />
allowing electrons to flow from the ground into the conductive<br />
human body to neutralize free radicals, <strong>and</strong> reduce inflammation.<br />
Connecting to the Earth’s energy is as simple as walking barefoot,<br />
sitting/ lying down on the earth, or through conductive devices<br />
that deliver the healing energy of grounding into our bodies.<br />
Conductive devices enable you to ab-<br />
sorb the Earth’s energy inside your home<br />
or office. They conduct the Earth’s energy<br />
through the ground port of a properly<br />
grounded outlet or from a ground rod<br />
placed directly in the ground <strong>and</strong> send it<br />
to a conductive Earthing mat, pad or sheet specifically designed for<br />
human grounding. Earthing products conduct the actual frequencies<br />
of the Earth without any simulation.<br />
Numerous health benefits from grounding while sleeping at<br />
night include:<br />
• Decrease in infl ammation that reduces physical symptoms<br />
• Reduction or elimination of chronic pain<br />
• Improved sleep <strong>and</strong> reduction of sleep-apnea<br />
• Increased energy<br />
• Decrease in stress <strong>and</strong> stress hormones, leading to less anxiety<br />
• Thins blood <strong>and</strong> improves blood pressure <strong>and</strong> fl ow<br />
• Relief of muscle tension <strong>and</strong> headaches<br />
• Fewer hormonal <strong>and</strong> menstrual symptoms<br />
• Faster wound healing <strong>and</strong> prevention of bedsores<br />
Tap into the unlimited healing powers of the Earth’s energy by getting<br />
grounded. For more information or to purchase an Earthing device – call<br />

Upper Respiratory Distress<br />
Got You Down?<br />
By Carol McGlauchlin, DOM<br />
Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Are you coping with<br />
asthma symptoms or wheezing with exercise? How about<br />
tendencies to get chronic bronchitis or sinus infections – do these<br />
plague you? Good news! These issues can be treated effectively<br />
with Chinese medicine <strong>and</strong> Frequency Specific Microcurrent.<br />
Cupping works particularly well to relieve a variety of upper<br />
respiratory symptoms. Cupping involves the placement of glass<br />
cups on the skin in order to create suction. In Chinese medical<br />
theory, the suction helps to clear out stagnation <strong>and</strong> toxins in<br />
the area. For upper respiratory conditions, the cups are usually<br />
placed on the upper back. Regular treatments with cupping alone<br />
for kids with asthma or severe allergies can help to reduce their<br />
medications, <strong>and</strong> the good news is – no needles are involved!<br />
On the other h<strong>and</strong>, acupuncture has worked very well to help<br />
my patients with seasonal allergies to manage their symptoms<br />
during the various allergy seasons. Regular treatments during<br />
the symptom period work best for optimal results. With chronic<br />
upper respiratory disorders such as sinus infections, bronchitis<br />
<strong>and</strong> asthma, acupuncture can treat both the acute symptoms<br />
<strong>and</strong> the underlying constitutional factors that combine to cause<br />
the recurring symptoms. However, one common sense caveat is<br />
that a medical doctor should be consulted for serious disorders<br />
such as pneumonia or asthma. There are times when drugs are<br />
appropriate, <strong>and</strong> a medical doctor (preferably an integrative<br />
doctor – a physician who underst<strong>and</strong>s natural medicine as well as<br />
pharmaceuticals) can be of great benefit.<br />
Another treatment modality that can help with upper<br />
respiratory disorders is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM).<br />
FSM uses electromagnetic energy in specific frequencies that<br />
match the vibrations of specific tissues <strong>and</strong> specific disease<br />
conditions in the body. An FSM program will run through a<br />
series of frequencies to address the various aspects of a disorder.<br />
For example, asthma involves inflammation <strong>and</strong> spasm in the<br />
bronchi. The FSM program for asthma includes frequencies<br />
for muscle spasms, inflammation <strong>and</strong> allergies (histamine) in<br />
the bronchi, as well as inflammation in the immune system as a<br />
whole, <strong>and</strong> finishes with “restoring vitality” in the bronchi.<br />
There are also a variety of herbal formulas that can help reduce<br />
symptoms <strong>and</strong> support balance in the constitutional factors in the<br />
body. When a patient has a tendency toward chronic disorders,<br />
it is important to address the underlying constitutional factors to<br />
help prevent future symptoms.<br />
Relief is but a phone call or email away! Call or email me today for<br />
a free consultation. I’m happy to answer your questions <strong>and</strong> help<br />
you determine if any of these modalities can help relieve your upper<br />
respiratory issues: Carol McGlauchlin, D.O.M, 505-550-8148.<br />

Cold <strong>and</strong> Flu Season...<br />
No More Worries!<br />
By Sophia Trezza, DOM<br />
Snowflakes<br />
By Charlene Lewis, CH, CWK, CQT<br />
If you want to fi nd the secrets of the Universe, think in terms<br />
of Energy, Frequency <strong>and</strong> Vibration. – Dr. Nikola Tesla<br />
No one likes Cold <strong>and</strong> Flu season, but it’s inescapable. What<br />
if you could ZAP those pesky viruses with a little energy at specific<br />
frequencies? Well, you can!!!<br />
How you ask? With the WellnessPro! It literally destroys,<br />
using electro medical (frequency) technology, the illnesscausing<br />
“bugs” <strong>and</strong> aids the body in returning to its natural<br />
state of well being. The WellnessPro excels at addressing a<br />
wide range of viral, bacterial <strong>and</strong> fungal issues associated with<br />
colds <strong>and</strong> fl u. In fact, the WellnessPro is pre-loaded with 7<br />
programs, each with multiple precise frequencies, targeted at<br />
colds <strong>and</strong> fl u, as well as other programs that combat related<br />
symptoms like sore throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion,<br />
headache, fever, body aches, etc.<br />
My clients have reported signifi cantly shortened cold/fl u<br />
durations, <strong>and</strong> my own daughter successfully counteracted<br />
clinically diagnosed H1N1—all with the use of the<br />
WellnessPro.<br />
This device, the #1 choice of health care professionals, offers<br />
a non-invasive, non-toxic, safe <strong>and</strong> effective alternative to<br />

Clinic, to experience the WellnessPro for yourself. The possibilities<br />
are endless!<br />
You might be wondering what the title “Snowflakes” is<br />
all about. Once when writing an article describing what<br />
I do, I compared my clients to snowflakes. They are all<br />
beautiful, yet unique in their own ways. They come to me<br />
for various reasons; sometimes physical, sometimes emotional,<br />
sometimes spiritual <strong>and</strong> often a mixture.<br />
Everyone is different <strong>and</strong> everyone responds to different<br />
therapies so it is important to be able to offer a variety of<br />
alternative healing methods. I really wanted to be able to truly<br />
cover ALL aspects of a person’s health, i.e.; Body, Mind <strong>and</strong><br />
Spirit. Following is a list of some of the therapies that I use:<br />
1. Holistic Kinesiology<br />
2. Natural hormone therapy<br />
3. Hypnotherapy <strong>and</strong> guided relaxation techniques<br />
4. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)<br />
5. Light <strong>and</strong> sound therapy<br />
6. Essential oils / Flower essences<br />
7. Crystal healing<br />
8. Chakra <strong>and</strong> meridian balancing<br />
9. Energy <strong>and</strong> auric field cleansing<br />
10. Quantum Touch h<strong>and</strong>s-on healing technique<br />
Because I am empathic, when a client comes in for an<br />
appointment, I can generally feel what therapies they need.<br />
Sometimes they come in for herbal/nutritional programs for<br />
various physical issues but more often they end up needing<br />
emotional help as well. Guided relaxation, hypnotherapy <strong>and</strong>/<br />
or energy work help to release emotional blocks caused by old<br />
hurts <strong>and</strong> traumas as well as negative <strong>and</strong> limiting beliefs.<br />
I also see many clients who are sincerely trying to walk a<br />
spiritual path <strong>and</strong> to be as clear as they can be on their journeys.<br />
Guided relaxation, light <strong>and</strong> sound therapy <strong>and</strong> chakra<br />
balancing are very supportive for that. I also use energy healing<br />
to clear out old negative Karma that may be blocking their<br />
spiritual path <strong>and</strong> also to help release emotional blocks.<br />

Disaster or Opportunity?<br />
By Tina Gibson, RScP, Licensed Spiritual Counselor<br />
Mom, you won’t believe what has happened!”<br />
My son’s voice on the other end of the phone<br />
caught me off guard, <strong>and</strong> I braced myself. I’d<br />
heard that panicked sound before. “The huge<br />
metal patio cover…it’s in the neighbor’s yard—<strong>and</strong> electrical<br />
wires…dangling in the backyard.” These were not the words I<br />
was hoping to hear after an intense workday, but sure enough,<br />
last April’s winds devastated our yard, roof, <strong>and</strong> electrical<br />
wiring.<br />
“Why is this happening to me?” I heard my victim voice<br />
say. “Why me? Why now?” I repeated the question, internally,<br />
<strong>and</strong> in those first moments, I knew I had a choice. My internal<br />
dialogue teetered back <strong>and</strong> forth. This is an example of the very<br />
thing you teach, Tina. (Yes, I was talking to myself). You’ve got<br />
to walk your talk… <strong>and</strong> NOW! I took a deep breath <strong>and</strong> slowly<br />
changed my tune. Amazingly, the same words came to me but<br />
with different thoughts behind them. “Why is this happening<br />
to me?” I asked. I chose my words carefully; Let me see this<br />
situation differently. Let me see this situation not as a disaster but<br />
as an opportunity… as a blessing in disguise.<br />
Metaphysical teachings tell us “It is all Good; everything<br />
is in order,” but then when something goes ‘wrong’, we<br />
wonder what has happened. We hear phrases like, “Change<br />
your thinking; change your life,” <strong>and</strong> then when ‘bad’ things<br />
happen; we mentally beat ourselves up because somehow our<br />
thinking was ‘wrong’ because we created a mess instead, or so<br />
we have labeled it as such.<br />
Fault lies not in human beings but rather in how human<br />
beings have learned to judge themselves <strong>and</strong> life situations. We<br />
could all get together in one room <strong>and</strong> make two lists: things<br />
that are bad <strong>and</strong> things that are good. For the most part, we<br />
would all agree on the lists. But I would like to suggest that<br />
the destruction of my home be on the “good” list, <strong>and</strong> there<br />
would be nothing on the ‘bad’ list. I would like to suggest<br />
that loss of job, security, relationship, <strong>and</strong> even life, be on<br />
the ‘good’ list because when we open ourselves enough to<br />
intuit a bigger picture, a picture which includes other eternal<br />
dimensions, beings, <strong>and</strong> life, there may be situations we do<br />
not underst<strong>and</strong> with our human minds, but there is nothing<br />
that we experience that is not for our best <strong>and</strong> highest good.<br />
The reason I suffer when a ‘bad’ thing comes to pass is<br />
because I have decided it is ‘bad’, <strong>and</strong> I refuse to let go of that<br />
decision. Things are not going my way; my life stinks…but only<br />
because I’m attached to life being a certain way, the way I<br />
learned it was supposed to be when I was growing up, the way<br />
I have judged ‘right’.<br />
These days, humans are experiencing many changes which<br />
are happening quickly. I believe we are being called to let<br />
go of our attachments, including judgments, beliefs, things,<br />
<strong>and</strong> people in order to ride with the flow of change. We are<br />
being called to surrender to our Wholeness, accept ourselves<br />
completely, <strong>and</strong> live fully on the planet…without judgment.<br />
Seeing good in everything <strong>and</strong> everyone is expansive.<br />
Resistance is what causes pain.<br />
The money received from my insurance company, along<br />
with monies from an unexpected second income source<br />
(another blessing), allowed me to renovate more than my<br />
backyard. Two bathrooms <strong>and</strong> kitchen have been revamped as<br />
well. And just like my remodeled kitchen, sometimes we have<br />
to go through the torn up stages before the new, remodeled<br />
‘good’ shows its face. Sometimes the blessings take time to see.<br />
If you have stories – disguised blessings, letting go of attachments,<br />
dealing with changes – <strong>and</strong> would like to share, as I take<br />
more advanced steps towards finishing a book, I’m turning to<br />
others for personal testimonies. Please let me hear yours.<br />
One-on-one<br />
intuitive counseling<br />
& guidance from<br />
the angelic realms<br />
Are you ready to<br />
live in this power,<br />
which is the Truth<br />
of who you are?<br />
• Learn to create your life<br />
joyfully, with powerful,<br />
conscious intent<br />
• Discover how to really love<br />
yourself; eliminate judgment<br />
& live life to its fullest<br />
• Experience increased health<br />
& abundance, profound<br />
relationship changes, more<br />
ease & happiness in your life<br />

Do You Know What Is In<br />
Your Water?<br />
By George Keanna, DDS<br />
The New Mexico Environmental Department<br />
(NMED) <strong>and</strong> the New Mexico Department of<br />
Health (DOH) worked together since 2006 to<br />
develop a “Mercury Reduction Plan” for New<br />
Mexico. This House Memorial 13 recommended the following<br />
to limit public <strong>and</strong> environmental mercury exposure from the<br />
Dental Profession;<br />
Avoid use of dental mercury amalgam in<br />
vulnerable patients in the following ways:<br />
1. Avoid placing, removing or polishing amalgam in the teeth<br />
of pregnant women, or women who may become pregnant,<br />
as the developing brain of the fetus is the most sensitive<br />
receptor to mercury toxicity;<br />
2. Avoid using mercury to restore children’s teeth as their developing<br />
central nervous systems are particularly susceptible<br />
to mercury impairment;<br />
3. Avoid using mercury in other vulnerable patients including<br />
those with kidney disease, central nervous system disorders,<br />
autoimmune disorders, <strong>and</strong> allergic/chemical hypersensitivity,<br />
<strong>and</strong> breastfeeding women; <strong>and</strong><br />
4. Avoid placing amalgam in patients with other kinds of<br />
metal surfaces in their mouths.<br />
Minimize exposures to airborne mercury<br />
in dental offices.<br />
1. Promote the use of methods <strong>and</strong> equipment to reduce the<br />
exposure to mercury vapor in dental patients <strong>and</strong> staff; <strong>and</strong><br />
2. Inform dental practitioners of the health <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />
risks of mercury exposure...<br />
...All forms of mercury are toxic. All sources of mercury<br />
exposure are cause for concern. Mercury affects the human<br />
brain, kidneys, liver <strong>and</strong> cardiovascular system. Because mercury<br />
impairs the development of the brain <strong>and</strong> nervous system,<br />
unborn <strong>and</strong> young children are particularly sensitive to<br />
mercury toxicity. In adults, mercury can cause nervous system<br />
problems <strong>and</strong> have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system….”<br />
(http://www.nmenv.state.nm.us/Special/MercuryTF-ReportFinal_11_27_06.pdf)<br />
It took four years to happen, but on July 1st, 2010 New<br />
Mexico joined the growing ranks of states that m<strong>and</strong>ate that<br />
dental offices have mercury separators systems attached to<br />
their water filtration systems.<br />
...Amalgam particles enter the wastewater from dental<br />
offices when dentists remove old amalgam fillings or place<br />
new fillings. What most in the dental community do not<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> is what actually happens to the amalgam/mercury<br />
they discharge, which ends up in the sludge at the sewage<br />
treatment plant. Any amalgam/mercury (or other hazardous<br />
waste) received at the sewage treatment plant is either<br />
incinerated, l<strong>and</strong>-filled, or made into fertilizer pellets, which<br />
are l<strong>and</strong>-applied on lawns <strong>and</strong> gardens <strong>and</strong> sold to farmers<br />
for their crops. In every case of disposal, the mercury in the<br />
amalgam will be discharged to the environment. According<br />
to the ADA, the dental industry uses approximately 35 tons of<br />
amalgam annually. It is estimated that 29.7 tons of mercury in<br />
the form of amalgam are discharged to the internal wastewater<br />
systems of dental facilities annually during amalgam placement<br />
<strong>and</strong> removal—<strong>and</strong> it should be noted that a “mercury-free<br />
dentist” (that is, one who places only non-amalgam fillings) is<br />
not truly mercury-free if he or she removes amalgam fillings<br />
<strong>and</strong> allows that mercury to be discharged down the drain...<br />
(http://dentalaegis.net/Publications/Inside_Dentistry/<br />
article.aspx?id=34857)<br />
These mercury separators can reduce the dumping of<br />
mercury amalgam products back into the public water system<br />
by over 95%. This is only one components of being a ‘mercury<br />
safe’ dentist. There are many other protocols <strong>and</strong> devices that<br />
need to be used to further protect the patient, the staff, <strong>and</strong><br />
the environment.<br />
This task force took notice of the deleterious environmental<br />
effects of mercury. The health effects are still being investigated.<br />
When there is a controversy isn’t it better to err on the side of<br />
the greatest level of safety <strong>and</strong> not wait years to find out that<br />
a material, like mercury amalgams, have deleterious effects in<br />
the human body as well?<br />
Mercury amalgams are not the only source of mercury<br />
exposure to the public <strong>and</strong> the environment.<br />
Even though it took four years to implement, I still applaud<br />
the DOH <strong>and</strong> NMED for bringing public awareness to the<br />
environmental <strong>and</strong> health problems associated with the<br />
varying uses of mercury in our society. Now m<strong>and</strong>ates have to<br />
30 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010
e made for ‘safe’ manipulation of mercury amalgams in the<br />
dental practice as it pertains to the patient, the staff, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
doctor. My next issues will address what we do at our office,<br />
<strong>and</strong> all ‘mercury safe’ dentists do, to protect all parties involved<br />
from the deleterious problems of mercury both in the dental<br />
office <strong>and</strong> outside it. By the way, our office has used a mercury<br />
separator since 2001.<br />

Denying Your Pain<br />
= More Pain Later<br />
By Rory Armstrong, HAT, LMT #5776<br />
A<br />
woman came in for a treatment suffering from lower<br />
back pain. She complained that she hadn’t been able<br />
to sleep through the night for a few weeks <strong>and</strong> awoke<br />
time <strong>and</strong> again with the pain. As a young but heavy woman,<br />
she was concerned about her future health <strong>and</strong> was sitting in<br />
quite a bit of fear.<br />
Instead of getting right into a deep bodywork session, we<br />
started with a Reiki treatment which lasted about 2 hours<br />
long. Some gentle physical movements were integrated here<br />
<strong>and</strong> there <strong>and</strong> the treatment finished with Reiki at the end.<br />
The physical movements brought about pain responses <strong>and</strong><br />
pain sights were revealed, <strong>and</strong> we focused on her goal of<br />
finding <strong>and</strong> releasing the anxiety around sleep.<br />
Reiki is extremely gentle <strong>and</strong> can provide powerful treatment<br />
for those who are sensitive or in crisis mode. Like other<br />
energy treatments, Reiki can assist the client in receiving<br />
new underst<strong>and</strong>ing of what is possible <strong>and</strong> stimulate a shift.<br />
After the fi rst session, she reported that she had slept 15<br />
hours that fi rst night. The next session 10 days later was<br />
about 30 minutes shorter, but showed a consistent response<br />
to treatment. She called <strong>and</strong> scheduled to see me in month;<br />
sharing that her sleeping pattern was more reliable <strong>and</strong> her<br />
dreams had been more vivid.<br />
During our 3rd appointment, I found that her pain<br />
threshold had increased. I asked her what was different in<br />
her life. She replied, “My husb<strong>and</strong> wasn’t as reliable as I had<br />
wanted him to be, so I divorced him! Ever since your first<br />
treatment <strong>and</strong> the divorce, I have slept better <strong>and</strong> have a<br />
confi dent new outlook on life.” I am not advocating that all<br />
of you reading this should dump your spouses! What I hope<br />
to project in spirit is…since we seem to get caught up in<br />
our lives <strong>and</strong> often feel challenged to find comfortable ways<br />
to cope, get some good bodywork/or massage. And don’t<br />
forget to exhale.<br />

Relax While<br />
You Detox!<br />
By Mickey Sutton & Ina Stewart<br />
Why Detoxify?<br />
Detoxification is an essential step in improving your overall<br />
health <strong>and</strong> appearance. When we ingest, inhale <strong>and</strong> consume<br />
toxins (such as alcohol, pollution, processed foods, medications,<br />
etc.), the body’s natural response is to protect the internal organs<br />
by trapping the toxins <strong>and</strong> storing them close to the surface of the<br />
skin, cushioned in water <strong>and</strong> fat cells. The toxins <strong>and</strong> extra water<br />
in our fat cells increase the appearance of dimpling, inches, <strong>and</strong><br />
poor skin tone. The Herbal Body Wrap can help address all of<br />
these areas as the herbs travel in through the pores, trapping the<br />
toxins, <strong>and</strong> encouraging their safe, natural release out of the skin<br />
through the pores.<br />
The 27 herbs in our Body Wraps have many healing<br />
properties <strong>and</strong> our clients’ results have amazed us. While being<br />
totally wrapped in the herbs, they absorb into the lymphatic<br />
system. While results are different for each person, chemicals,<br />
formaldehyde <strong>and</strong> Agent Orange have been diminished. Some<br />
clients have reported emotional <strong>and</strong> spiritual transformations<br />
during the wraps. Come in for your own personal experience.<br />
Footbaths extract toxins naturally, boosting the immune<br />
system to help overcome the tiredness, headaches, colds, arthritis<br />
<strong>and</strong> other ailments brought on by toxins. And the soak soothes<br />
your feet <strong>and</strong> raises your energy level. In warm weather, footbaths<br />
are enjoyed in our covered patio area adorned with many flowers.<br />
Hot Body Wraps <strong>and</strong> Ionic Footbaths are excellent choice<br />
for detoxing, <strong>and</strong> they can be done together or separately. We are<br />
just a leisurely drive to the North Valley away…<br />

You Can Experience the “I AM”<br />
Nature Within You Now!<br />
By Master Stephen Co<br />
The Soul is a spark from the universal flame, which<br />
some call God. God puts forth this portion of Himself,<br />
which then incarnates, or takes a body, in the lower<br />
plane, the earth. As an extension of God, our Soul is<br />
in a state of permanent health, a state of unchanging, prolonged<br />
awareness <strong>and</strong> peace. We may not be consciously aware of it, but<br />
we inherently know that this state of peace resides within us.<br />
As we seek health, success <strong>and</strong> happiness in the physical<br />
world, we are often oblivious to how close true health, success<br />
<strong>and</strong> happiness are, because we don’t look inward. But when<br />
we become aware of the limitations of our physical body <strong>and</strong><br />
the imperfections of the material world—as we must inevitably—our<br />
innate knowledge of this inner state of peace <strong>and</strong><br />
health is stirred.<br />
This is called spiritual restlessness. There are many ways<br />
spiritual restlessness is awakened. It is commonly prompted<br />
by a life crisis, such as a reversal of fortune or tragedy that is<br />
difficult to explain-for example, disastrous material loss or the<br />
death of someone close. It is often felt when we have a premature<br />
brush with mortality ourselves, or when we near the end<br />
of our life <strong>and</strong> seek to put things in order.<br />
Or, we may feel it after we attain our worldly goals-success,<br />
fame, prosperity, or in the case of our focus here, physical<br />
health-<strong>and</strong> then find ourselves wondering if “that’s all there<br />
is.” It may arise simply as a result of exploring physical health<br />
through alternative or esoteric practices, as you are doing with<br />
this book. Or, it may be awakened naturally in those who are<br />
particularly sensitive or spiritually developed.<br />
Regardless of how we come to this awareness, we all have<br />
within us this intrinsic need to “return to the source,” to have<br />
contact with our Soul to access that inner peace <strong>and</strong> health.<br />
Below is a powerful meditation that will allow you to<br />
experience a glimpse of your Soul’s Divine Nature<br />
1. Sit down in a darkened room, close your eyes, <strong>and</strong> go<br />
through your physical relaxation routine. Perform seven<br />
cycles of pranic (slow <strong>and</strong> deep diaphragmatic) breathing.<br />
Be aware of your whole body.<br />
2. Put your attention on your feet <strong>and</strong> legs for several seconds.<br />
Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel them<br />
disappear.<br />
3. Put your attention on your waist, chest, <strong>and</strong> torso for several<br />
seconds. Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel<br />
them disappear.<br />
4. Put your attention on your h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> arms for several<br />
seconds. Continue pranic breathing, then see <strong>and</strong> feel them<br />
disappear.<br />
5. Put your attention on your head for several seconds.<br />
Continue pranic breathing, <strong>and</strong> then see <strong>and</strong> feel your head<br />
disappear.<br />
6. Perform several cycles of pranic breathing as you are aware<br />
of your body “not being there.”<br />
7. Silently say, “I AM not the body; I exist independently of the<br />
body.” Be still for about 30 seconds.<br />
8. Visualize a reddish-pink silhouette or outline of your<br />
physical body around 6 ft. above the ground.<br />
9. Silently say, “This is my emotional body. It contains all<br />
emotions that I have ever created or experienced. It allows me<br />
to feel <strong>and</strong> experience emotions <strong>and</strong> feelings, but it is not me!”<br />
10. See it fading <strong>and</strong> vaporizing into nothingness.<br />
11. Silently say, “I AM not the body, I AM not the emotions. I<br />
exist independently of the physical <strong>and</strong> emotional bodies.” Be<br />
still for about 30 seconds.<br />
12. Visualize a bluish-yellowish silhouette or outline of your<br />
physical body 6 ft. above the ground.<br />
13. Silently say, “This is my mental body. It contains all thoughts<br />
that I have ever created or experienced. It allows me to think<br />
<strong>and</strong> experience thoughts <strong>and</strong> ideas, but it is not me!”<br />
14. See it fading <strong>and</strong> vaporizing into nothingness.<br />
15. Silently say, “I AM not the body, I AM not the emotions, nor<br />
the thoughts. I exist independently of the physical, emotional,<br />
<strong>and</strong> mental bodies.” Be still for about 30 seconds.<br />
16. Silently say, “I AM not the body; the body is a vehicle of the<br />
Soul. I AM not my emotions or my thoughts; they are just<br />
products of the Soul. I AM not even the mind. The mind is the<br />
just the instrument of the Soul. I AM the Soul! I AM a being<br />
of Divine Intelligence, Divine Love, <strong>and</strong> Divine Power. I AM<br />
connected to God. I AM one with God. I AM one with All. I<br />
AM the Soul!” Be still for three to five minutes <strong>and</strong> simply<br />
let go.<br />
17. Slowly open your eyes, take several pranic breaths, <strong>and</strong><br />
stretch.<br />
As you perform this exercise, you will experience inner<br />
stillness, peace <strong>and</strong> extreme mental clarity. Practice this meditation<br />
everyday especially when you are going through physical<br />
or psychological crises. It will infuse your entire being<br />
with Divine Love, Light <strong>and</strong> Power!<br />

Blissful Spirits Hot Yoga Studio does not exactly offer<br />
a fountain of youth, but many practitioners of hot<br />
yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa believe the practice is a healing one<br />
<strong>and</strong> will make you strong <strong>and</strong> youthful over time. As the<br />
owner of Blissful Spirits, I myself have found healing from<br />
practicing hot yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa <strong>and</strong> I opened the studio to<br />
share it with others.<br />
Hot yoga <strong>and</strong> vinyasa flow postures are practiced in hot<br />
temperatures <strong>and</strong> humidity designed to match Calcutta India,<br />
where this method was developed. The heat helps students<br />
safely stretch <strong>and</strong> eliminate toxins from the body. The studio<br />
also teaches the Barkan Method of hatha yoga postures. Head<br />
instructor Rebecca Widmayer was the first teacher of Jimmy<br />
Barkan, but at Blissful Spirits she is now developing her own<br />
style, “Sacred Hot Yoga” which also incorporates the teachings<br />
of Paramhansa Yogan<strong>and</strong>a <strong>and</strong> his lineage of yoga masters.<br />
“Our hot yoga sequence includes pranayama, affirmations,<br />
chanting, <strong>and</strong> other techniques to help master the flow of lifeforce<br />
through the body”, Widmayer said. It is mastery of the<br />
life-force that helps students maintain strength, youthfulness<br />
<strong>and</strong> beauty.<br />
In addition to the physical postures, Widmayer also<br />
presents workshops on Yogananada’s teachings about prana,<br />
chakra alignment, the eight-limbed path of yoga, affirmations,<br />
chanting, <strong>and</strong> visualization. Sacred Hot Yoga is not just<br />
physical exercise. The postures prepare your body <strong>and</strong> mind<br />
for advanced yoga techniques such as meditation.<br />
In addition to hot yoga, the studio also offers Nia classes<br />
through certified Nia White Belt, Jennifer Applegate, who<br />
also teaches hot yoga. Nia is a blend of dance, martial arts,<br />
<strong>and</strong> yoga, the regular practice of which offers weight loss,<br />
cardiovascular conditioning, stress relief, body integration,<br />
pain management, <strong>and</strong> improved self-image.<br />
Blissful Spirits is located at 4300 Paseo del Norte NE in Albuquerque,<br />

The Secret to Radiant<br />
Physical Health is Not<br />
What You Might Expect<br />
By Louise Swartswalter, ND, CBS, CNHP<br />
www.abqnaturalhealthcenter.com<br />
Do you suffer with pain, low energy, <strong>and</strong> lack of sleep, allergies,<br />
<strong>and</strong> auto-immune issues? Are you tired of being tired?<br />
Frustrated with western Medicine? Have you been doctor<br />
hopping with no help or answers?<br />
If<br />
i<br />
of pain, fatigue or frustration? We work with the whole<br />
this sounds familiar, then it is TIME to receive help<br />
<strong>and</strong> know the truth! Why experience another minute<br />
body using a variety of modalities to literally peel back the layers<br />
of imbalances <strong>and</strong> allow your physical, emotional <strong>and</strong> spiritual<br />
bodies to heal at deeper subconscious levels. Using a combination<br />
of biofeedback, energy work, naturopathy, NLP, integrations <strong>and</strong><br />
detoxification, we work as detectives, “cracking the case” so that<br />
you can be who you came here to be.<br />
“How many well people would be on this earth if they could<br />
be hooked up to this program? There would be less disease. This is<br />
amazing! I felt something when you worked on the kidney <strong>and</strong> liver.<br />
Thank you!” – M.L., Albuquerque<br />
Cancer <strong>and</strong> disease begin in the energy body <strong>and</strong> then show<br />
up in the physical. Without addressing all the bodies <strong>and</strong> the<br />
mis-alignment, the dis-ease often returns years later. In western<br />
medicine, they call it remission because they are uncertain if the<br />
dis-ease state will “return?” Whatever modality you choose, it’s<br />
important to know that your inner work holds the key. What do I<br />
mean by do your inner work? Come to my workshop at the <strong>Truly</strong><br />
<strong>Alive</strong> Health <strong>and</strong> Spirituality Fair on October 30th at 2:00 PM<br />
<strong>and</strong> find out the secret to Radiant Physical Health!<br />
“Dear Louise, I felt so amazingly different after our session. The<br />
anger <strong>and</strong> frustration were softened <strong>and</strong> I feel more space around<br />
everything. I have been under lots of stress with moving <strong>and</strong> the new<br />
job <strong>and</strong> I feel like I can deal with everything better. I am relating<br />
to the world like I have never before. I could get addicted to that<br />
machine! I feel like it was the “new Doctor.” I want to come back. I<br />
feel like I accomplished more in one session with you than I have in 6<br />
months of therapy. Thank you!” – E.H., Albuquerque<br />

Astrological Forecast: September/October<br />
John Clinton | Psychic Astrologer | 505-489-1122<br />
30+ Years Experience Interpreting Stellar Events<br />
Aries (3/21-4/19): SEPTEMBER begins with work<br />
filling your days <strong>and</strong> passion completing your nights.<br />
It is self-evident that your partner is also your friend<br />
as proven this first weekend. Refine all animal instincts<br />
after the 8th. This is also a good time to begin a new health regimen.<br />
Compulsive attachments could form this month. A truth will be revealed<br />
by the 13th. As Pluto turns forward in its apparent motion<br />
that same day, you may begin to see your career turn around for the<br />
good. Psychic dreams <strong>and</strong> a need for lasting romance are this month’s<br />
keynotes. OCTOBER serves to plug the leak in your brain. On a<br />
psychic level that is what occurred. Recently, something required<br />
your complete focus. Now, you seem back to normal after resting.<br />
You may be tempted on the 7th <strong>and</strong> this could lead to a connection<br />
with someone new. That day <strong>and</strong> the 8th show a quick change<br />
from one to another. The powers of Venus are amplified during this<br />
month. So, you are correct to be absorbed by your work, but there<br />
are so many other things, like romance, drawing you away from your<br />
endeavors. You may not be ready for involvement ‘til next month.<br />
Taurus (4/20-5/20): In SEPTEMBER it’s a flood<br />
of feelings filling fall full of fuel for frivolous frolicking<br />
in forests of beauty. Fortunately, this behavior is carried<br />
out with someone special. Even though love is a form<br />
of insanity, you are able to function sanely. The 4th shows how our<br />
brain can be our worst enemy. Logic “over-ride” by the brain is not<br />
always better than our common sense. This is a hot month filled with<br />
beauty. Only the truth can foil your plans, yet only the truth can set<br />
you free. You will learn the value of the human touch in a different<br />
way. On the 8th of OCTOBER, Venus begins a rare retrograde period<br />
lasting 40 days. It’s a time to devote yourself to your devotions.<br />
Partnership matters fill your mind. You may have your relationship<br />
under your microscope this month. What you see could change<br />
things. While romance is on hold <strong>and</strong> finances seem irrelevant, you<br />
can truly discover a deep truth. Do you like the path your life is on?<br />
Is it really the right path? Just something to ponder. Be very aware<br />
of the actions around you on the 24th. Actions indeed speak louder<br />
than words that day.<br />
Gemini (5/21-6/21): In SEPTEMBER there is a<br />
ray of hope shining from someone you respect. Most<br />
of The Twins will experience romance in all its forms<br />
this month. There are always 10% of the people who<br />
do not fit their Sign. Some Geminis have only one personality. After<br />
this first week of carnival-style carnivorousness, it will be time to<br />
winterize your home. After the 12th you will see your life beginning<br />
to move forward again. You have just finished 3 weeks of soul searching<br />
where matters of karmic importance have been examined. Career<br />
matters take a back seat to health <strong>and</strong> home. OCTOBER is creative<br />
<strong>and</strong> romantic. Your love life stabilizes <strong>and</strong> after the 20th <strong>and</strong> that<br />
inspires your work efforts. The 7th is perfect for a vow of devotion.<br />
The rest of the month is filled with immovable objects <strong>and</strong> people.<br />
You are highly motivated, but others are stuck or unwilling to move<br />
forward with you. Just do your own thing. Explore your creativity.<br />
As the month winds down, you will be working hard. Guard your<br />
health by changing your diet <strong>and</strong> adding supplements. Choosing one<br />
love interest is not a limitation. It’s your salvation.<br />
Cancer (6/22-7/22): SEPTEMBER starts with<br />
a tightness in the jaws caused by a stubborn attitude.<br />
Don’t keep it inside. Talk to someone. Labor Day is a<br />
gift of appreciation from your boss. May the old methods<br />
pass <strong>and</strong> the new management techniques bring more peace <strong>and</strong><br />
self-respect to all who labor. The New Moon of the 8th signals an<br />
end to your introspection. After the 12th, you will have benefitted<br />
from the underst<strong>and</strong>ing of your thought processes. As Libra begins,<br />
you will be prepared to react intellectually rather than your usual<br />
emotional irrationality. OCTOBER continues your practicality.<br />
Your plans are in place to deal with home matters. The summer was<br />
rough in some ways, but the fall looks decidedly better. An old flame<br />
could be part of this fall experience after the 8th. Your creative juices<br />
are flowing <strong>and</strong> this will help you prepare for upcoming changes at<br />
work or to your health. You want to underst<strong>and</strong> love issues, but your<br />
greater need is for permanence in your residence. You are yearning to<br />
settle down, but where? The 26th is your most powerful day. Don’t<br />
let it upset your good plans.<br />
Leo (7/23-8/22): SEPTEMBER is usually a time<br />
for self-aggr<strong>and</strong>izement <strong>and</strong> financial progress for the<br />
Lions. There’s something stuck on your mind as the<br />
month begins, but by the 4th that fixation gets erased<br />
by the romantic harmony of a partner. A small crisis on the 8th won’t<br />
cast a shadow for very long. Money is good after the 12th. Health<br />
answers become clear on the 13th. Home entertainment is great after<br />
the 14th. The 18th presents a challenge to your newly acquired state<br />
of mind. Something needs to end. It detracts from a higher state of<br />
mind. OCTOBER starts with you in a serious state of mind. You<br />
know what needs to be done, so use your willpower to get ‘er done.<br />
This month is about communication (that includes travel). You can<br />
keep the scales tipped in your favor, but it takes some conscious effort.<br />
Are you up for it? You can stay home <strong>and</strong> eat grapes or you<br />
can respond to a higher calling. Action seems risky, but you win<br />
by month’s end. Proper choices of action become a real confidence<br />
builder. Love is by your side by the 28th.<br />
Virgo (8/23-9/22): SEPTEMBER opens quietly for<br />
you. You are deep in thought. You are perfecting your<br />
internal processes. By the 12th you are done. You are<br />
perfect again (though actually, you always were). Partly,<br />
you are focused on finances. Now, your financial outlook can be adjusted<br />
by external actions. Nervous energy is yours on the 14th. You<br />
may not be showing your political concerns. The Full Moon of the<br />
23rd lights up the hidden elements which need to be eliminated.<br />
Watch finances at month’s end. OCTOBER starts with opportunities<br />
flying by you like skaters on the bike paths. You are blocking your<br />
own progress the first week. Let go of haunting thoughts. Sell shaky<br />
36 <strong>Truly</strong> <strong>Alive</strong> | A Living Naturally <strong>Magazine</strong> | September/October 2010
stock holdings by the 8th. Earning power is yours from the 3rd to<br />
the 20th. Your higher nature could be missing this month, but the<br />
time is perfect for selfishness. Travel is good by the light of the Full<br />
Moon after the 18th. You yearn to journey to contact an old lover.<br />
Well, what’s stopping you?<br />
Libra (9/23-10/22): SEPTEMBER seems to shine<br />
as you become surrounded by beauty of your own<br />
choosing. Psychic dreams fill your nights. Your waking<br />
hours are energetic <strong>and</strong> industrious. The 4th is a healing<br />
day. Labor Day is for resting <strong>and</strong> fact-checking. The 7th has a previously<br />
overlooked piece of information. The New Moon on the 8th<br />
represents the end of a yearly cycle <strong>and</strong> the Full Moon on the 23rd<br />
brings a choice for the year ahead. Choose what is logical for the year<br />
ahead. You represent peace <strong>and</strong> the 21st is the UN day of peace...perfect<br />
for the 1st day of Libra. OCTOBER is the Libran birth month.<br />
Be sure to celebrate all 30 days of your Sign. Your new yearly cycle<br />
begins on the 7th. Venus goes retrograde the next day. That indicates<br />
that your year begins with a review <strong>and</strong> a withdrawal from the world.<br />
Factor in Saturn <strong>and</strong> your slight depression makes sense, astrologically.<br />
This stems from your financial issues which affects your selfesteem.<br />
Just keep a broader perspective. The 25th has a message for<br />
you. Speculate on the 26th. Your verbosity returns by the 28th.<br />
Scorpio (10/23-11/21): SEPTEMBER has a duality<br />
to it. Like a tiger about to spring, you need to lie<br />
low the first two weeks. The 2nd half of the month is for<br />
chasing down your desires. The 13th calls for personal<br />
changes to capture your objective. There are spiritual requirements<br />
involved. A former lover may return around the 18th. This is a karmic<br />
situation, but fun. The Full Moon of the 22nd/23rd requires a<br />
health choice. The 25th is difficult, but friends are there to inspire<br />
you. If at first you don’t succeed, try thinking. OCTOBER has a<br />
New Moon on the 7th which signals a quiet time ahead. You tend<br />
to withdraw from the world even though aloneness seems pervasive.<br />
Your thoughts turn to former romances. Finally, you reemerge on<br />
the 20th. You have a lot to say now even though you want to beat<br />
some dead horses. You can speak of the past, but the future is a better<br />
focus for you. The Full Moon on the 22nd brings a personal revelation.<br />
Your words <strong>and</strong> actions are largely ignored by others, but isn’t<br />
it good to vent?<br />
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21): In SEPTEMBER<br />
Jupiter may try to pull you away from the fun things<br />
<strong>and</strong> a new romance. You are asked to look within your<br />
soul regarding these matters. There is something very<br />
shocking to learn. This discovery is somehow facilitated by a friend.<br />
Changes are possible from this very karmic message. Things will balance<br />
out by the 23rd. Keep your eyes peeled for true love that day.<br />
I can’t lollipop this up...the truth is, that you must be very careful<br />
to avoid injury from mid-September through the whole month of<br />
October. Actually, you will do best during OCTOBER by staying<br />
<strong>and</strong> playing alone, but not all the time. You are a social animal/human,<br />
after all. Mars will stimulate your social urges, but it can overenergize<br />
one particular friend. Keep the straight jacket h<strong>and</strong>y. Career<br />
matters need a redo. There could be trouble when an ex-lover returns<br />
around the 8th. You are in no mood for starting over. A decision has<br />
to be made about a friend on the 22nd. The 28th is energizing, but<br />
you still need lots of solitude. Home is your best place to meditate<br />
<strong>and</strong> reach deeply for soul-related matters.<br />
Capricorn (12/22-1/19): SEPTEMBER, ah,<br />
lovely September. How you harmonize with this time<br />
of year. The month has a very earthy, yet civilized, expectation<br />
to it. Your higher minded qualities come<br />
forth. You combine that with a very strong mindset for the first two<br />
weeks. Then all hell breaks loose. You can choose not to be drawn<br />
into the anger. You do best when seeking peace. Peace is your karmic<br />
task for the next two years. It’s also about partnerships, legal dealings,<br />
career proficiency, <strong>and</strong> an openness to new ideas. Master these<br />
areas <strong>and</strong> your path will be smooth. During OCTOBER your career<br />
<strong>and</strong> worldly st<strong>and</strong>ing are spotlighted. Friends play a major role this<br />
month. Listen to their ideas <strong>and</strong> complaints near month’s end. It’s<br />
hard to get your point across at work unless you are the boss. Others<br />
seem unmotivated the first 10 days. By the 22nd when things start to<br />
fall apart, you will get your due recognition. Your ideas are great <strong>and</strong><br />
you find satisfaction as you help the bottom line. Even when we see<br />
the ship about to run aground, it’s hard to stop it in time. Momentum<br />
is the problem.<br />
Aquarius (1/20-2/18): SEPTEMBER: I know;<br />
things just suck sometimes. Life is still the same, but<br />
maybe that’s the problem. You need more data input for<br />
your mind. This happens every year for 4+ months. It’s<br />
a time to study <strong>and</strong> learn the lessons before you. It’s a time to gather<br />
your facts. It’s a time to go within. Yes, things will move forward<br />
again <strong>and</strong> you will easily make up for lost time. You are the arrow being<br />
drawn backward before you are sent flying to your target. You will<br />
see this before the year ends. OCTOBER: Uranus remains retrograde<br />
all month, but your secondary planet, Saturn, gives you peace <strong>and</strong><br />
perseverance Things have seemed divided, separated, or disjointed for<br />
almost two years. Now, everything is slowly coming together again.<br />
Give it time. You want to make big changes, but some changes will<br />
not be of your own choosing. Just know that recent events are by<br />
Universal design. There is a point to it all. Choosing correctly on the<br />
22nd will make you whole. Choose wrong...never mind!<br />
Pisces (2/19-3-20): When Neptune is retrograde as<br />
it is this SEPTEMBER; it can be even more pleasing<br />
to the Pisceans. It must feel like a fantasy turned inside<br />
out as only you can grasp. Yet, to suffer is a buffer to the<br />
pain of no gain like a plain with no rain where life is in strife where<br />
each blade of grass joins with others in mass to keep hope alive or<br />
just to survive long enough to call the bluff of the ultimate reaper to<br />
see something deeper. To merge <strong>and</strong> to know the verge of a glow that<br />
waits like a promise to be or not to be. OCTOBER continues the inner<br />
voyage as both Jupiter <strong>and</strong> Neptune remain retrograde all month.<br />
Be careful at work as things can get foggy. Use your natural fog lights<br />
<strong>and</strong> your instinct when needed. You are almost obsessed by the allure<br />
of freedom. You may need a travel guide with good directions. The<br />
22nd is a big day as the Full Moon brings an awareness of a critical<br />
situation which needs to be eliminated. The 19th is a feel good day as<br />
life vitalizes you. Your career or work brings good energy for financial<br />
blessings after the 28th.<br />

removes stagnant or lower<br />
energy from your field. This can<br />
come from other people, current or past life<br />
behavior patterns, environment or spirits. A<br />
Healing is accomplished by my channeling<br />
Source energy into the area after pulling out<br />
stagnant lower energy. A Reading is part of the<br />
