Socially Active, Peaceful at Heart By Rev. Martha Quintana Recently, I was asked how we find balance between involvement in political activities and living in a peaceful personal world. Essentially, how do we stay active in the world and peaceful in our hearts? Those of us who have been doing our own inner work and who have healed have a personal responsibility to our fellow humans to be active in the world. We act from who we are. Sometimes this activity looks like traditional political campaigning and sometimes it looks like visiting a neighbor or helping to clean up the neighborhood. Any time we go out in the world and make it a better place, we are engaged in “political activity.” Political activity is any activity that impacts the community. We don’t have to let anyone else’s description of political activity drive our actions. The point is that to change our environment in a positive way, we act from a sense of love rather than from fear or anger. We know in our hearts what we would like our world to look like and we let our actions define how we live in the world. Living, moving, and having our dreams are essential to a productive life. We can’t hole ourselves up in a room and feel like we’ve truly lived. True spiritual practice includes our physical world, and it’s up to each of us to decide what fits best for our activity. Sometimes this means we knock on doors to convince people how to vote and other times it means holding someone’s hand in their time of need. If we are healthy, we are engaged in our lives in a positive way. If we are engaged in our lives positively, we are touching other lives. If we are touching other lives positively, we have shifted our community in a good way. This shift is bound to have a positive impact on the world. We then feel good about ourselves and peaceful in our hearts. Join Senior Minister Rev. Martha Quintana for inspiring Sunday celebrations!

I am deeply grateful. There is nothing more fulfilling than having a vision come true. The visual gratification and satisfaction from appreciative customers really keeps me motivated! Do you have a shady spot on your property that always looks bare…a spot where nothing you plant there seems to like all that shade? There are actually a lot of plants that thrive in the shade. Shop around for shade plants you like (marked “shade”). Then plant them after the worst of the August heat has subsided. Late August and early September is the best time for aerating and seeding. Plant fall colors such as those found in mums, asters, daisies and pansies. Fall is the best time for new plants to be added. More roots are developed during the fall season than any other time of the year. By planting in the fall, you are giving your newly planted trees and shrubs a head start on next year. Also, October is the best time for planting spring bulbs. New Service: Do you find it a hassle to hang all those holiday lights and decorations? Consider Perpetual Landscape to do it for you. We’ll save you the time, stress, and bother of doing it yourself. As a woman landscaper, you may find that I am more meticulous and gentle with your project. My team and I will take the time to do your project right; communicating with you every step of the way. We are hard working, polite and experienced. My rates are very reasonable and reflect more my love of this work than my desire to get rich doing it. In business for seven years, I have many satisfied customers and references.

Fusion Salon is Enviro-Friendly By Deborah Remington, Owner, Fusion Hair & Skin My goal in opening Fusion Hair & Skin 10 years ago was to provide a comfortable, relaxing environment for my clients. My new salon was designed to (1) be spacious: (every work station has its own section or room) and (2) provide products and services that offer as little toxicity as possible. Hair coloring is a popular service; we do quite a lot of it actually… but Fusion does not offer nail services (which are most often highly toxic). That’s just not an acceptable thing for clients of Fusion to be exposed to. In addition to the lowertoxicity services we provide, I spend more to purchase and sell lowertoxicity products as well. Fusion offers a wide variety of very high quality, easy on the body (and the earth) products. With all of the environmental decisions considered, combined the spaciousness (and ventilation) of the salon, many chemically sensitive clients have found a home at Fusion. They are comfortable and feel safe with us. For those who are especially sensitive, we schedule appointments at the beginning of the day (before any hair coloring or the very rare perm is scheduled) or at the end of the day (when everyone with any services that could affect the sensitive client have gone and the salon has aired out). In this way, we are able to serve a great many clients who want stylish, high quality services and environmentally-friendly products in a comfortable and safe environment. Persistent worry? Excessive thinking? Irrational fears? Memory dulled? Change Your Brain: Eliminate Stress & Anxiety By Regina Coffman Energy drained? Problems making decisions? Inability to concentrate? Poor Sleep? These are the signs of anxiety — the most common mental disorder in the world — one that is often ignored and left untreated. Without help, those who wrestle with anxiety or stress may find themselves moving into depression, chronic pain, fatigue and inability to sleep. Some turn to meds or illicit drugs — or addictions like over-eating or alcohol in order to achieve temporary peace. Stress/Anxiety is an “equal opportunity” affliction: it can attack anyone, of any age, at any time. It can show up as panic, social phobia, compulsive activities and post-traumatic stress. The common denominator is that anxiety is a result of an imbalanced brain, and imbalances are due to trauma. It is not possible for any of us to go through life without experiencing trauma; whether due to the loss of a loved one, physical injury… even childbirth or surgery. When trauma occurs, the brain goes into survival mode (adjusting frequencies for self-protection). Oftentimes, it gets stuck in an unhealthy pattern. All pathologies are simply behavior to self-correct a brain imbalance. Brainwave Optimization can help! I suffered for more than 4 years with a form of anxiety that left me feeling as though I was “stuck” in my environment and in life. I knew what I was experiencing was irrational and that I should just “work through it” or “do it anyway”, as self-help research would suggest but I felt blocked. After just two sessions, I experienced relief from the debilitating feeling of being “stuck”. Now, after 10 sessions I feel “released”. I am officially moving forward with my life and I couldn’t be happier about it!
