The Embassy of Life Mastery (ELM) has a unique healing sanctuary within its building, which is a reclaimed and revived stone church built in 1890. The sanctuary is a darkened, climate-controlled room with comfortable reclining chairs, air-purifying systems and the Energy Enhancement System (EES).
The EES combines body, mind, spirit and science to support optimum performance and reach higher states of health, consciousness and self-actualization by generating multiple, bio-active, life-enhancing energy fields, including scalar waves. When combined with light, the technology can interface with the body’s DNA matrix and promote healing by improving circulation, oxygenation and increasing cellular energy. At optimum energy levels (higher frequencies), the body can become capable of healing itself.
Cells in the human body, when functioning at their maximum health potential, operate in a range between 70 to 90 millivolts. Aging and dis-ease occur when the cellular energy depreciates to levels below this range. Every cell can hold a charge and as scalar waves move through the body the cell's millivolt energy increases. This process can release toxins, promote cellular regeneration and begin to promote the repair of DNA.
Testimonials from clients of the sanctuary include positive benefits for issues such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, glaucoma, neuropathy, PTSD and more.
Sessions in the sanctuary are complete with complimentary reverse osmosis water, organic berry water and hot herbal teas. After sessions, there are healthy organic options for sale which are prepared by a master chef. The sanctuary also offers discounts and special free days for veterans and active duty military personnel.
ELM has a mission to guide those seeking a personalized transformative experience to cultivate physical, mental and spiritual growth that will lead to self-mastery. The process involves harmonizing knowledge conveyed by a diverse team of masters so that they may steward community and planetary healing.
Teachings include such topics as astrology, consciousness development, cosmology, divine technology, ego mastery, plant wisdom, spiritual agriculture, vibrational medicine and more, which all fall within three levels of development and 13 departments.
Location: 5410 S. Vandecar Rd., Mount Pleasant. For more information, email Contact@ELMastery.org or visit ELMastery.org. See ad on page 11.

Try Arthrostim for Optimal Health
Northern Lights Chiropractic, the office of Dr. Ramona Pleva, employs an Arthrostim chiropractic instrument using the Koren Specific Technique (KST). This adjusting style allows for gentle, precise adjustments with no popping, cracking or twisting. Her technique is gentle enough for babies, and can adjust extremities, facial and cranial bones with more accuracy and ease than manual adjustments. These adjustments can be very meaningful if the patient has recently been in an automobile accident or if they’re elderly. She says, “Smaller, more targeted adjustments also result in quicker adjustments.”
KST is used to locate and correct or release areas of blockage, distortion, subluxation, interference, stagnation and other stresses in the body and body/mind that are often missed by most healthcare professionals. It is used to improve body function, promote natural healing, release physical and emotional stresses, and works well with any healing art.
