The Power of Positive Thinking Your Brain on Incense

by Allison Feehan, N.D., D.Psc, CRMT

Around the world and for thousands of years, incense has been used in religious and spiritual ceremonies and practices. Most ceremonies would be incomplete without it.

“Boswellia sacra is a tree in the Burseraceae family. It is the primary tree in the genus Boswellia from which frankincense, a resinous dried sap, is harvested.” Beyond its amazing scents, science is now finding that incense, particularly Frankincense has some healing properties to the mind and body.

Incense can have some amazingly calming effects on the brain. Doctors and priests have found that burning incense can have a calming effect on one’s mood, especially at times of unrest and calm patients down. But scientists took it a step further and really wanted to know what incense was really doing to help us. They found an active chemical compound in incense called incensole acetate. Having done this research on mice, in a controlled setting, scientist realized that the mice given this active compound had a dual effect: it was an anti-inflammatory, and it boosted their mood significantly. Scientist realized that incense activated a portion of the brain that wasn’t previously known.

Allison Feehan N.D., D.Psc, CRMT Owner of Integrative Healing and Wellness 732.202.6797 523 Main Avenue Bay Head, NJ

“There are opiate plants and there are plants that affect dopamine, serotonin and similar substances that regulate the brain’s activity.

The substances in these plants work using special receptors. It turns out that the active component in frankincense acts via a receptor that is hardly known in brain science. What is known is that this receptor, known as TRPV3, is found in nerves located beneath the skin and responds to a sensation of warmth.”

Haaretz.com This receptor interplays with the active compounds in the incense and plays a role with mood regulation.

Killer germs have also been studied to be obliterated by plant smoke or smudging; a cleansing of the “spirit”. This ancient practice, accused of being New Age, has been given the polarized view of increasingly common practice.

Researchers found, with surprising overlap worldwide, medicinal smoke is mostly used to address the following specific organ systems: “pulmonary (23.5%), neurological (21.8%) and dermatological (8.1%).”

They also found that “ambient smoke,” which is the type of passively inhaled smoke generated by smudging/incense, is traditionally believed to be an effective “air purifier.”

The review argued that modern medicine should investigate medicinal smoke as a drug delivery system, owing to the following advantages: “The advantages of smoke-based remedies are rapid delivery to the brain, more efficient absorption by the body and lower costs of production.”

There’s excitement around incense’s medicinal properties in addition to another tool used for relaxation and meditation. The course of “killing germs” or getting rid of “negative vibes” only goes so far in the modern biomedicine world but the practice gains credibility through science due to its demonstrated useful function such as destroying disease-causing germs, activating brain receptors, and playing a huge role in mood regulation.

The Light in me bows to the Light in you.

Recipes by the Sea

RESTORATION COLLECTION™ Floors Designed to be Lived On

Kombucha is part of latest health rage geared to improve your gut bacteria and immune responses by ingesting “living” foods.

My family loves it, but at $3.00-$4.00 a bottle, it can become an expensive daily habit for a family of 6. Traditional kombucha is made with a scoby, a fermented gelatinous mother, which produces the prebiotics essential for a healthy gut. The process can take 4-7 weeks if you are willing to take it through the first and second fermentation. I read one recipe and tapped out.

I live for simple. So, I developed a DIY super simple drink using raw apple cider vinegar, which contains the same high powered prebiotics. Raw ACV with the “mother” is key here.

Now, in a matter of minutes I can make 6 bottles of this and have it ready and in the fridge. My family loves it as much as the store bought! Win-win, and best of all, there’s no jellyfish like blob growing on your counter. Cheers to good gut health!

Rover Rescue The More the Merrier!

by Lauren Kehoe

Dogs are like potato chips (except better) – you can’t have just one! While some dogs prefer to be an only pet, many others enjoy and appreciate company. Between work, school, activities, and other obligations, it can be difficult to give our animals all the love and attention we want. The addition of another dog can help fill in the gaps while humans are away.

Once you have found a dog and had a successful intro between pups, additional safety measures can be taken at home. Some dogs are more Lauren Kehoe overprotective on their own turf, or prefer is an avid to play with animal lover special toys on and dog owner. their own. Even if a dog doesn’t have resource guarding issues, it’s good to have a wide selection of toys to choose from and share. Separate feeding is always a great precaution, or at least keep a lot of space between bowls. Guarding or not, dogs can feel pressured to finish their food faster, leading to indigestion issues.

If your current pup doesn’t have much experience with other dogs, it’s a good idea to test the waters. Doing some dog play dates helps you get a feel for their socialization skills and preferences. Some may do better with side-by-side walks first while others prefer to meet immediately in an enclosed area. Dogs may be barrier reactive, and seem threatening being a fence or on a leash. If you’re worried or your dog has never met another dog, there is always the option of getting professional help. It’s never a bad idea to take extra precautions; socializing dogs should always be a safe experience for all humans and animals involved.

Dogs may need multiple introductions in the home to feel fully comfortable. Crates or separate rooms can provide time outs and breaks. If the relationship is rocky at first, you can separate dogs when you are away and slowly leave them alone for longer periods as they get more comfortable. While the ultimate goal is to have company and friends, never be afraid to take your time.

Maybe you had a second dog in the past, or are a regular at the local dog park. Does your dog prefer to interact with others? If so, what types? Some dogs prefer to play, while others like to sniff, sleep and coexist. Energy level, age, and gender can all be considerations. Dogs don’t have to be of opposite sex to live together, but if your dog is on the pickier side, it’s worth considering.

Once dogs are acclimated, they have a built in companion! While this doesn’t replace enrichment and exercise from humans, it is a great supplement. It is a good idea to keep up on training so habits the dogs pick up are positive ones. Finally, keep in mind that second dog is extra time and monetary commitment.

All logistics aside, if you and your family are prepared for the extra responsibility, adopting a second dog is double the fun and double the love!

Shore Decor Black is Back

By Ashleigh Young Santamaria

In today’s world where there are as many styles and trends as there are designers, one thing the interior design community seems to agree on is that Black is Back!

From walls to prints, finishes to fixtures, black is being used in a variety of ways to add a chic, powerful, and elegant touch to homes inside and out.

I am obsessed (OBSESSED!) with home exteriors that pair white painted brick, shingle or vinyl siding with black trim detail as you’ll see on the Villa Bonita, Utah and Edina, MN houses below (check out beckiowens.com and trauscher.com for more project pics).

Inside the home, black walls have been gaining in popularity due to their dramatic effect. In most cases, black looks best when used on a single accent wall; one that either frames a centerpiece of the room (like a fireplace or large window) or used on the largest wall in the room. Utilizing black walls in rooms with high ceilings or a lot of natural light are best, like in the living room to the right designed by Toronto-based designer, Laura Hay. Even smaller spaces can look modern if the elements around them are chosen to contrast and enhance the effect of the dark walls. Here you want to pair dark walls with natural fabrics and textiles in a lighter palette to avoid looking like a bat cave. Some great examples are the sweet little guest bedroom (source:Pinterest) and sitting area utilizing thin, glazed bricks from @fireclaytile on a statement fireplace.

Keeping the ceiling a lighter color will help keep the focus on the wall and avoid the feeling that the room is closing in on you. If you want a more dramatic effect, apply paint in a gradual transition that goes darker to lighter bottom to top, which can make the room look taller.

According to Consumer Reports, Olympic Paint’s Black Magic OL116 and Glidden’s Deep Onyx 00NN 07/000 are two of 2018’s most popular and durable true black options.

Finish is also important to consider when choosing your paint. Matte looks stunning, but many experts recommend glossy or eggshell sheen finishes which are richer as well as more hardy, forgiving and less damage-prone than matte shades.

Feeling a bit hesitant? No worries.

Experimenting with black built in shelves, door and window casings or fixtures are great ways to help ease you into this trend and we’ve included some examples for inspiration. Happy Decorating!

Fashion Frenzy September is the New January

By Denise Brady Acanfora, Certified Personal Stylist and Owner, The Urban Exchange

Think about it. It makes sense. The lazy days of summer are over. The weather is changing. School is starting. There is a general feeling of new beginnings that we get swept up in as the seasons change and lots of energy goes toward getting ready for a new school year. The supplies, the clothes, the backpacks, the sports gear! Even if you don’t have kids in this back-to-school season you remember your feelings from this time in your life. There is a general new beginnings mindset built in to our DNA. Kinda like what Joe Fox says in one of my favorite movies –You’ve Got Mail- “Don’t you just love New York in the Fall?

I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” I so very get what he is saying!

There are a lot of studies that investigate why people are motivated to start new plans and set goals for themselves in September. The cooler days ahead bring you inside more often. Your thoughts turn to meal prep and cooking a healthy meal at home instead of grabbing something on the fly so that you can stay at the beach a little longer. And, while you are at home why not attack something on your to-do list?

Paint the kitchen? Clean out your closets? Now is the time!

Everyone is on the bandwagon in January. There’s so much pressure to set goals and make declarations of your intentions for the year to come. In September, there is less hype. Now is a great time to check in with yourself and decide what you really want to accomplish without all the chatter and distraction of new year’s resolutions. If you haven’t nailed the goals you set for yourself back in January don’t stress. You still have plenty of time to regroup, refocus and finish strong. Instead of limping in to the new year defeated because you lost sight of your goals, you will jump in to January with arms raised high in a victory pose!

at a fraction of

Fabulous Fashion the Price!

The best day to start anything is today. Why wait until January to feel better, stronger, more organized, more creative or whatever it is that you crave? Today is the day to start! Set yourself up to be a superstar. Take one step. One step every day gets you closer to any goal you have in mind. It is not dramatic but it is doable.

Plan one meal. Go for a walk. Pick out the paint color. Register for the class. Then do the next right thing. I am converting the entire computer system for the shop. Overwhelming!! January sounds like a much better time to do that. But, today I will order the hardware and software supplies that I need. And then I will take another step toward completing the conversion. I will start the new year completely automated and pleased for finishing this project before the start of the new year.

So…let’s make it a September to remember! Reach out to me on social media and let me know how you are making September the new January. I can’t wait to see what you have planned!

Parental Guidance Self Care for Parents (part 1)

By Maureen Whelan

Self-Care is becoming all the buzz in marketing services from salons to wellness centers.

In the world of Occupational Therapy, self-care historically has deep roots as one of our primary functions. It is an essential area of focus, regardless of clients age, development, or disability. For an Occupational Therapist, self-care reaches beyond purchasing a pedicure but is rather the active practice in activities of daily living (ADL’s). So rather than being a passive recipient, true self care is the individual’s actions of preserving and restoring one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

It might seem that the basics of eating, bathing and dressing are easily checked off for most parents. But parenting is complicated, as we are not only the teachers of our children, we are also the most influential role models in their life. We need to consider how we are checking off each box. Does grabbing your coffee and donut at the Dunkin drive through really count as self-care? To know, you would have to ask… is this act contributing to the preservation of my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health?

Recent research has discovered the extraordinary brain-gut connection, and that what we eat largely contributes to how we function cognitively, how we feel emotionally, our physical performance, our immune function, and the quality of our sleep. There is strong evidence that gut bacteria and biomes contribute to developmental and psychological disorders including Autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. So, that jelly donut is in stark contrast of self-care and is feeding harmful bacteria, increasing inflammation in your gut and joints, increasing your stress hormone (cortisol), lowering your immunity, and causing an erratic spike and dip in your blood sugar, thus making it more difficult to focus, organize and make decisions. Essentially, we need to alter our focus from living to eat, to eating to live. When we do this we are on the journey to self-care, and we become a living model for our children.

I’ve been doing a great deal of research into foundational health and this has made me evaluate my own life. Some difficult changes were made in the past year related to my own self-care. The hardest part was altering the habit, as the life I’m living now is far healthier and therefore easier. Due to a number of health annoyances, I went gluten-free and low dairy. Sure enough, my skin issues cleared up, my joint pain and digestive issues resolved, but what surprised me most was increased energy , and mental clarity. I didn’t feel as tired or as irritable, and I became much more grounded. My kids noticed, and when one of my children acknowledged she was having similar health aggravations, she decided to try altering her diet, and had the same positive result. My lesson here was that when I took the time to listen to my body, and attempt to understand what was happening I could then also take back my health. The icing on the cake was that my child, on her own, watched me, and also took charge of her own health. She practiced the craft of self-care. Neither of us has been sick in almost a year, and our bodies, our immunity, our skin and our muscular systems have all benefited from these changes. Moreover, I feel empowered knowing I am able to have a positive impact on my quality of life, by actively choosing my self-care practices.

...when I took the time to listen to

my body, and attempt to understand what

was happening I could then also take

back my health.

Maureen Whelan is a pediatric Occupational Therapist and mother of 4.

I try to reflect how a change in diet could have such profound effects in all the areas of my life. I now see how our body is a whole machine dependent on various parts but working in symbiosis. When one part of our body becomes stressed, it can affect our other body systems as well. Parenting shares a similar interdependency. Children will sense a parents stress, take it on and reflect it. They will mirror their parents actions. So if you want to make a positive change for your children, start with yourself. Listen to your body, feed its cravings for sleep, activity, leisure, quiet, nutrition, spiritual and emotional well-being. Start your own journey of active self-care, and your children will follow.

Sail On! Bay Head Junior Sailors Compete in National Regatta

by Elizabeth Black

A team of five youth sailors from Bay Head Yacht Club (BHYC) are in Pensacola, Florida competing in the 2018 Optimist National Championships. The eight-day event is host to over 300 sailors from across the USA and 12 foreign countries, including England, Brazil, Australia, Denmark and the Virgin Islands.

Ken Rand, Co-Chair of Junior Sailing for BHYC, explained, “Opti Nationals is a huge sailing regatta in which boys and girls of all different skill levels, including the world’s elite junior sailors, ages 8 to 15, compete for the national title.

They spend up to ten hours on the water each day in hot, often adverse conditions. It is an intense event.”

“Regardless of the result, the high degree of talent at Nationals is an extremely beneficial environment for our sailors, and they will bring that experience back to the Barnegat Bay to further improve the quality of sailing in our local area,” noted the Coach.

“This experience functions to propel the level of sailing in New Jersey to a higher standard.”

Tanner Curtis (14), Samantha Manogue (14), Phineas Manogue (12), Kip Rand (12) and TJ Smith (14) are representing BHYC in the four-day individual National Championship Series July 15th through July 18th. Samantha will compete in the one day Girls National Championship on July 19th, alongside Charlotte Cundy (10) from BHYC and Mantoloking Yacht Club. Then Tanner, Samantha, Phineas, Kip and TJ will compete together against approximately twenty other international teams in the three-day Team Race National Championship July 20th-22nd.

Ken Rand said the kids are having the time of their lives, meeting sailors from all over the world, adding, “We are very thankful for BHYC’s support of our junior sailing program and our participation in this elite event.”

The team’s coach, Jeff Glosenger (21), is no stranger to competitive sailing, having won the New Jersey Opti Championship twice, earning spots four times on the USA National Team and placing 4th out of 1,100 sailors at the Annual Lake Garda Optimist Meeting in Italy, the then world record largest one-design regatta. “These BHYC sailors are competing at a regatta comprised of an extremely high caliber of sailors. Our goal for these sailors is to finish in the top 50% of the fleet in order to qualify for Team Trials regatta in 2019.

A few of the BHYC sailors are teetering on the boundary for this qualification,“ explained Coach Glosenger.

September 2018

At the Opening Ceremonies Gala, members of American Magic, who will represent the USA in the next America’s Cup, inspired the sailors, telling them they are the future of the sport.

Lessons From the Sun She is late again this morning.

Forecast says “clear” but it never mentions that one formation of clouds just along the horizon in the exact spot the sun rises this time of year!

It makes her late almost every day.

But I will wait patiently.

For her to rise above it.

She always does.

I will also use it as my lesson for today.

Because isn’t that what we have to do?

Rise above it.

Every.

Single.

Day. The daily grind, the chaos, the stress, the hurt, our mistakes....

OTHERS’ mistakes.

Rise above it.

It’s hard sometimes.

I know.

Some days it takes a little longer than others.

To rise up.

There are days that are so cloudy, you can’t see the sun come up at all.

Just as people can’t always see you take the high road.

But just like the sun, it doesn’t mean you’re not shining brightly elsewhere.

Time and time again, she manages to show up everyday.

So much so, that we don’t have to wonder if the sun is coming back.

We know she is.

Above the clouds.

Above the rain.

Above the storms.

Without question.

That’s called trust.

And if time and time again, we show up everyday, bright and ready to start anew, people will have that same trust in us.

Rise.

Shine.

Repeat.

Just follow the sun.

She’s always going in the right direction.

The direction of a new day.

Healthy Morsels, II Why Do We Eat The Way We Do?

by Lynn O’Hara

The inability to stop the coping behavior Lynn O’Hara, MS, RD, LPC is often the first clue that something is Licensed Psychotherapist Registered Dietitian amiss. Problem is, trying to stop the (732) 899-9312 coping behavior while the discontent www.lynnoharalpc.com simmers below is like trying to stop a mama bear from protecting her cubs.

Frustration mounts for the person trying to change the eating, drinking, spending or keeping busy etc. behavior to no avail. What is a person to do?

Do you ever get curious about what makes people choose to eat certain ways as opposed to others? Many people have really good ideas of how to eat. The problem is when people endeavor to eat that way for some reason they don’t manage to pull it off.

I hear so many people talk about their frustration at not eating in a manner they want to. They can’t make any sense to why they just don’t do it.

There are lots of reasons people eat the way they do and many of them are complicated. A bigger picture that underscores much of why people use coping mechanisms in their lives can be summed up by Abraham Maslow, “We fear and crave becoming truly ourselves.” Imagine if you can, your ideal version of your life. Think in terms of greatness. What would your life look like?

Would you have a different job or career, live somewhere else, make more or less money, different friends? Perhaps life would look different in a way you can’t even really allow yourself to consider; a different spouse or partner, a different relationship with family members, or any other change in an area of life that you try mightily not to think about. We can get really good at stuffing thoughts or ideas way down deep so we don’t have to contemplate the pain we’d go through to make those changes. Unfortunately, some level of our consciousness is aware of our unhappiness or discontent and it starts to ooze out as we get older. This is where coping skills come in. Eating or drinking or spending money, even keeping busy all the time are examples of nifty coping skills that help us to avoid feeling things we don’t want to feel or are afraid to feel.

This can all go on without us even being aware we are doing it.

The first step to changing a coping behavior that is no longer working for you is to realize that it really is working for you.

You may not like that your weight won’t budge or you can’t get out of debt but you are being protected from the deep discontent that may be lurking below the reaches of your conscious awareness. You are living exactly the type of life you want right now; protected. If you choose to examine, without judgment, the life you are leading and how content you really are or aren’t, you will be taking the first step toward considering how you really want to live and the first step toward not needing that pesky coping skill.

This is not an easy thing to do but consider this; No one ever says they are unhappy with the growth they make even if it’s a painful process. Consider the following question as a start; what is your greatness? Until next time, eat healthy, be happy.

Back to Earth The Power of Morning Rituals

by Natalie Berko

that processes what you’re thinking about. For example ‘I breathe in peace.

I breathe out chaos” is a great way to condition yourself to feel calmer throughout the day. Whenever you feel stress coming on simply slow down take a moment to inhale ‘i breathe in peace” and exhale “I breathe our chaos” and your brain will begin to calm itself down coming back to center with each repetition of your mantra.

Our daily practices are what creates our life, by creating nourishing and supportive routines, we are then choosing to fuel our days and nourish our spirits. A morning ritual is on way to incorporate practices to super charge your day. It should be a blend of both physical and mental activities. The morning ritual gives you a chance to center yourself and embrace your day. Rituals offer us compassionate discipline where we focus our attention and energy on achieving a certain feeling. They will ground us for the remainder of the day and help us approach situations that may arise with a new level of calm. Here are a few tips to build your morning routine.

• The morning is a great time to exercise, its quiet and peaceful.

You can go for a mindful walk and have little interruptions, waking up your muscles and getting them ready for the day ahead. A quick morning exercise jumpstarts your cells.

According to researchers from Northumbria University, people can burn up to twenty percent more body fat by exercising in the morning when they are on an empty stomach. Researchers say that morning light helps synchronize your body clock. The light is the most potent agent to harmonize your internal body clock that regulates the circadian rhythms. This aspect, in turn, controls energy balance. Including exercise as a morning ritual keeps you productive and energetic the whole day.

• Meditation is a great way to begin your day on a positive note.

It helps you to come to a place of peace. Meditating helps to filter out the internal and external noise. A good meditation as a morning ritual can help you tame your emotions and keep your emotional brain in check. Meditation also enhances feelings of competence about one’s life and promotes environmental mastery, ego resilience, and purpose in life.

• After you’ve completed your meditation take a few minutes and be thankful for all the positive things that have happened to you. Practicing gratitude as a morning ritual can have amazing benefits for your overall health. Being grateful increases your self-esteem making you more optimistic and less materialistic and self centered. Gratitude increases your energy, longevity, improves your sleep quality and immunity. The real power of gratitude is that it helps you to pick out and focus on what is working in your life.

• Listening to uplifting music lifts your mood and improves your mental health in numerous ways. Combining music and exercise together will give you even better results. Researchers found that participants pedaled faster when riding stationary bicycles while listening to music. Music can make you feel happier because it enhances blood vessel function. It reduces stress levels and relieves depression, improves cognitive performance, and even helps you perform better in high-pressure situations.

• If you have time you may also find it useful to practice gratitude journaling. Journaling your important tasks is a practical ritual that helps you focus your day and life on what is essential.

Taking time to simply unwind your thoughts and make a to-do list will help you prioritize and manage your time better. To start the ritual identify and write down three essential tasks you need to complete during the day. These tasks may be ones that support a long-term goal, related to a passion or just a general direction of life. It may also be helpful to jot down mundane tasks. It’s been proven that if you write down every project, task, and activity you will be more likely to cross them off the list! Writing down ever “to-do” item you can think of allows you to clear space in your head, become present, and focus on more important topics. Writing down tasks helps you to process your emotions, gives you a record to look back on, a sense of achievement, and helps you think big and makes you more committed.

• Drinking warm water first thing in the morning helps to flush the digestive system and rehydrate the body. Adding lemon to your water increases a natural flush and cleanses the liver. Lemon juice enhances stomach acid production and bile production.

It results in a clean liver and lymph system. When you drink lemon water first thing in the morning, it helps your body to absorb vitamin C and potassium which provide a immune boost. Vitamin C is good for your adrenals and contributes to reducing stress levels.

Your new ritual will give you power, the act of routine becomes an addiction. Building a ritual is like building a muscle, all it takes is doing the exercise again to revitalize the habit. Try committing to performing the new ritual for at least 66 days. You can become more productive throughout the day by just making tiny changes.

• Affirmations are a form of auto suggestion that when practiced deliberately and repeatedly, they reinforce chemical pathways in the brain and strengthen neural connections. If you can get in the habit of practicing positive thought patterns or affirmations regularly, you create neuroplasticity in the area of the brain
