Float Therapy Facility To Lessen PTSD
By Dr. Justin Feinstein
I first envisioned the Maui Calm project during a moment of great despair immediately following the Maui fires last August. Having spent the past decade researching and publishing findings on the benefits of float therapy in people who suffer from anxiety and PTSD, I knew it was one of the most advanced tools our society has for naturally calming an anxious and traumatized nervous system. Now imagine if we could bring this level of healing to an entire community that has been traumatized?
Float therapy, also known as Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy), is actually quite simple: you lie down and effortlessly float in a shallow pool of water that has been saturated with over a thousand pounds of Epsom salt, making it denser than the Dead Sea. The hard part is building the float pool inside of a speciallycalibrated room that minimizes all forms of stimulation on the nervous system, including visual and auditory stimulation, thermal stimulation (the water and air are heated to skin temperature), and even stimulation from gravity itself.
respiration is lowered, high-frequency heart rate variability improves, and brain activity dramatically slows down to 1-2 cycles a second. The end result is a state of calm that lasts for over 48 hours after the float session is over.
I started investigating the therapeutic benefits of float therapy over a decade ago at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research. Peer-reviewed research from my laboratory and others has found that float therapy reflexively reduces signs of stress and hyperarousal, allowing an overstimulated and shocked nervous system to enter a state of equilibrium. Circulating cortisol levels are reduced, blood pressure drops by 10 to 15 points,
The goal of the Maui Calm project is to prevent PTSD from spiraling into a chronic state and to reduce the high level of stress and anxiety that the people of Maui are currently experiencing. Since we are a research-based nonprofit organization, we plan to collect data and track outcomes over time, which will provide a pivotal proof-of-principle for using float therapy to address real-world traumas and disasters from the moment they occur. This is a scalable concept that could be replicated and implemented across the nation and even the world.
`The float pools we are building are not the small, enclosed float tanks that you may have heard of in the past. In fact, what we’re building is the opposite – large open pools with no enclosure
for complete peace of mind. The project aims to bypass the cultural and financial barriers that have prevented many island residents from receiving effective mental health treatment in the wake of the fires by providing free floatation therapy inside a state-of-the-art facility that will be placed just outside the new YMCA resource center being built in Lahaina.
The float facility will be arriving on island early next year, and thanks to a grant from the Maui Strong Fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation, we will be providing float therapy completely free of charge to everyone on Maui who has been impacted by the fires, including all fire survivors, first responders, and frontline workers. At full capacity, our float facility will be able to serve over 300 people each week and provide over 15,000 float sessions over the course of a year. This is the first time ever that float therapy will be provided to an entire community at no cost to them and we are actively looking for sponsors to help ensure that this valuable therapy can continue to be provided to the Maui community for many years to come.
The Maui Calm project is led by Dr. Justin Feinstein, a clinical neuropsychologist and national authority on float therapy. For the past decade, Dr. Feinstein has published numerous peer-reviewed studies showing that float therapy is a safe and effective treatment for reducing stress and anxiety, including in patients with PTSD.

Lifting Your Spirit!
What are key means to uplift your spirit? When we face a future seemly filled with uncertainty due to the prevailing political scene, with wars, erratic weather and rising prices, just staying afloat may seem like the norm!
One of the best ways to uplift your spirit is to “Be Here Now” and practice gratitude. By focusing on the positive aspects of life, whether big or small, I can shift my perspective and foster a mindset of abundance. Reflecting on what I’m grateful for can increase my happiness and reduce stress.
For me, getting out in nature (be it to the beach or on a hike), my meditation practice, and simply playing with my dog does the trick.
Having a clear vision of what I want to achieve, provides purpose and direction. By breaking larger goals into small chunks of accomplishments on my “To Do” list I can build confidence and optimism about what lies ahead.
Regular physical activity including aerobics and stretching, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep can also reduce anxiety.
It may seem old school, but I’ve found listening to Louise Hay tapes on YouTube helpful. Also, Sound Healing and Energy Healing led by expert practitioners has spiritually restored me. Check out this issue and take advantage of the talented healers within!

Addressing Holiday Grief
By Sandy Schneider
Traditional holiday advertisements surround us with images of fireplaces, decorations, special foods, and, most importantly, family. For many, this evokes joyful childhood memories and family traditions. However, for those who have lost a dear family member or friend, holidays can summon grief and lead to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair. Santa’s proverbial bag weighs heavily, packed with grief.
Grief is a set of emotions triggered by the loss of a loved one. Grief is neither good nor bad and shows up differently for different people. To the surprise of many, it can even show up long beyond the passing of our loved ones. During the holiday season, it is important to turn our attention inward and ask, “How am I really doing right now?” Don’t be surprised if the answer is far from that of a Hallmark movie. Experiencing grief is natural. However, it does not need to be a struggle. Grief is a reflection of love. You simply cannot express and experience that love in the way that you once did. When in grief, consider if those emotions are serving you. If so, curl up under the blanket, grab a cup of tea, allow tears to flow, and express the sadness. Do this with love –¬ love for your dear one and love for yourself.
When the emotion of grief is too much and no longer serving you, seek outside assistance to turn those grief emotions into gratitude and love. Talk therapy is available through local counselors and grief groups in our community. For those not interested in traditional talk therapy, sound and light vibration therapy of the Harmonic Egg® is a powerful way to shift from overwhelming grief to emotional balance and love.

Systems Thinking For The Wider, Wiser Perspective
By Ania Wood
When I think of Raising Your Spirit, I think about living from that wiser, bigger picture part of us rather than from our reactive ego patterns.
The big picture is comforting because it is more truthful. It is simply more accurate to look at reality in terms of context and interconnected relationships than to look at reality only in little emotionally charged slivers. I see this every time I counsel a couple: how connecting with the bigger picture of understanding their patterns and remembering their love calms the nervous system and allows for new solutions to emerge within the field that the couple did not seem to have any access to when their minds were stuck in reactive loops.
Processing this recent election, where people voted for a man of stunningly poor character to be their leader, I’m finding a big picture lens to be helpful in understanding how this could happen.
The Family Constellation work of Bert Hellinger can be adapted to many systems, families, workplaces, and even nations. He worked with thousands of families over several decades and was considered the ultimate empiricist because he never created solutions from a purely mental framework; instead, he held unwavering loyalty to simply observing what tended to work, and he created miraculous shifts for people by following certain observed “rules” for wholeness to return to the system.
manifest as a “problem child” in the family making trouble, which can get “miraculously” cleared up when whatever has been excluded is welcomed back.
In our country today, our leadership has failed the middle class for decades; they have been disempowered economically through corporations stealing their wealth, and those in power have ignored their struggles. The system is screaming for change, and a figurehead who knows how to exploit this pain comes in. When nobody else will actually pay attention to the exiles, that exiled pain grabs onto the closest thing it has that can offer some hope for inclusion. And that’s how you get people voting for a rapist and lying felon based on “vibes” – one side of his mouth saying he will fight for you, while the policies he’s proposing will steal even more wealth from the middle class. It’s not rational, and it never was rational, and we cannot fault the system for not being rational because it is simply functioning on the same unconscious emotional principles as any collective of humans tends to function.
The only way for a system to heal from a chaos agent who is feeding off unintegrated pain is to address the root of the problem and redistribute power and agency to the people who have been ignored and disempowered.
The system seeks wholeness, and one general rule was around the impact of exiles (a family member who committed a crime, a child given up for adoption, ostracized family members, etc.). The Family Soul feels the absence of the exiled person and unconsciously compensates for their exclusion, often at great emotional cost to others in the family. It can

Lifting Your Spirit With Gratitude And Grace
By Rev. Blaine Tinsley
Have you ever noticed how simple acts of gratitude can transform your mood? Gratitude is the key to unlocking a lighter, more joyful spirit. When life feels heavy, focusing on what is good and beautiful shifts our hearts and the energy we bring into the world.
Gratitude is more than saying “thank you.” It’s a spiritual practice. It involves pausing to recognize the blessings woven into our everyday lives, the sun's warmth on our faces, the laughter of a friend, and the quiet resilience of our hearts. By embracing these moments, we awaken to the grace surrounding us, always ready to lift us higher.
Grace is a gift we often overlook. It appears unexpectedly – a helping hand, a kind word, a sudden realization that everything will be okay. Grace reminds us that support is all around us, even in our struggles. It whispers that we don’t need to have everything figured out to feel peace; we need to trust the flow of life and lean into the support available to us. Combining gratitude and grace is a powerful spiritual practice. Start each day by listing three things you are grateful for. Let these acknowledgments open your heart. Then, embrace grace by letting go of what you cannot control. Trust that something greater is unfolding. When we practice gratitude and grace, our spirits naturally rise. We become more open, compassionate, and attuned to the beauty within and around us. These practices remind us that our spirits can soar no matter our challenges. All it takes is a moment to pause, give thanks, and let grace carry us forward.

Lifting Our Spirits With Sound
By Lydee Ritchie, LMFT, LLC
The nights are longer, the veil is thinner, and the Makali`i and Pleiades are back. The once-in-a-lifetime comet A3 blessed the Hawaiian skies, and the new moon in Scorpio appeared on November 1.
I love this time of year. The darkness reminds us to lift our spirits as our Inner Eyes readjust for self-reflection. At writing, people worldwide practice looking inward by celebrating light over darkness, Diwali, life over death, Day of the Dead, All Hallow’s Eve, All Saints’ Day, Samhain, and peace over war, Makahiki.
The planet and mankind are going through big shifts and changes. It is the day after the USA elections. Our inner phoenix has risen from the ashes. Let’s pray our country can achieve civil peace, harmony, and prosperity. I am praying for Ukraine-Russia, Palestine-Israel, and the ending of all wars, as well as the merciless, unjust killings of innocents around the world.
Until these centuries-old conflicts and battles are resolved, there is nothing else I can do but constantly envision peace and send out positive vibes. In my sacred space at home, I also send prayers through energy waves of sound. This uplifts my spirit.
I love this so much that I offer sound healing in yoga classes and community events. The vibrations create sacred sound patterns that are therapeutic in various ways. In a group setting, it has the potential to expand and extend the depth and breadth of energy healing.
My intent is to provide a safe space, allowing the medicine of instruments and sound to be sent and received. This includes playing metal gongs and bowls, drums, a wooden flute, crushed crystals/gems infused in rare alchemy bowls, leading group toning, and more. The instruments know how to heal intelligently. The individual will take in exactly what he or she needs to reboot, recharge, and restore.
When a room full of people listens to low-sounding gongs and drums,
they begin to feel rooted to Mama Aina. When the group hears the middle tones, they feel balanced and centered. The higher tones created by singing bowls and chimes make them feel like they’re being transported to higher dimensions, to angelic realms.
This grounding, balancing, and uplifting phenomenon, induced by contrasting sounds, affects participants in various ways. Participants say they feel lighter, they feel a release of something negative in their psyche, or they go on a trip sans any drugs. Some fall asleep and receive resolution on a subconscious level, perhaps letting go of ancestral karma. Others receive messages from spirit guides. Many report feeling super relaxed and falling into the best, deepest sleep ever upon returning home.
This is what sound healing does. It is truly uplifting. Its ability to recalibrate to healthy, sacred geometrical patterns can be expanded throughout the world. Sound healing reminds us we are all healers.

Shamanism Benefits Health
By Andrea Kalff
The world is experiencing unprecedented levels of stress, disconnection, and imbalance. From climate crises and wars to health epidemics, humanity is navigating an era of profound challenges. To address these complex issues, an integrative approach that combines ancient wisdom with modern science is not just beneficial – it’s essential.
Modern-day shamanism, rooted in ancient practices, offers a holistic framework for healing that complements the precision of Western medicine. Shamanic practices, such as rituals, energy work, healing ceremonies, healing hands-on, and connection with the natural world, address the spiritual and emotional dimensions of health that are often overlooked in clinical settings. These practices restore balance, reconnect individuals to their purpose, and tap into the body’s innate healing potential. Shamanism activates the body’s natural self-healing abilities, a fact recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1979, which officially acknowledges shamanism as a therapeutic practice.
With its remarkable diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments, Western medicine excels at addressing physical symptoms and acute conditions. However, when integrated with shamanic practices, it has the potential to heal not only the body but also the mind and spirit. Hospitals and therapists are increasingly recognizing shamanism, creating space for collaboration that treats patients as whole beings rather than treating isolated symptoms.
In the last few years, I have made significant strides in bridging the gap between shamanism and Western medicine, especially in Europe, such as leading a scientific study in Austria in a mental hospital, focusing on patients with addiction.
By honoring the wisdom of the past, this intersection of ancient and modern modalities holds the promise of transformation – not just for individuals but for society as a whole!
Andrea Kalff, a Korean Mudang (Shaman), collaborates with Western doctors and therapists worldwide, bridging traditional healing practices with modern medicine.

Tips To Lift Your Spirit!
By Heather Regal
In times of stress, the world can feel heavy, but there are gentle ways to lift your spirit and soothe your soul. Imagine weaving together a tapestry of sacred practices that reconnect you with your inner light, helping you feel more grounded and serene. Let me guide you through some of these pathways.
Aromatherapy is a profound first step. Scents like lavender, sandalwood, and rose can invoke peace and balance. When you breathe in these natural fragrances, they connect to the limbic system, which helps regulate emotions, inviting tranquility into your being. Simply anoint your wrists or diffuse the oils, allowing their essence to gently fill your space.
Sound healing, whether through singing bowls, chanting, or music, works with vibrational energy to restore harmony within. The resonance of sound washes over you, aligning the mind and spirit and inviting stillness. Combine this with intentional breath work, taking deep, full breaths in sync with the rhythm of sound, and you'll find your body relaxed, and your energy centers recalibrated. Nature bathing – or spending time surrounded by the green embrace of trees or near flowing waters – has a potent effect on our emotional wellbeing. Absorb the Earth's nurturing energy with your bare feet on the ground, letting worries dissipate as you reconnect with the rhythms of nature.
Yoga, too, brings calm by uniting breath, movement, and intention. Flowing through poses that open the heart or ground your body can release stagnant energy and foster inner clarity.
Ultimately, self-care is the root of all these practices. Give yourself the gift of time and attention, whether it's through a warm bath, journaling, or meditation. Remember, stress is fleeting, but your inner light is ever-present. These simple rituals help you rediscover that light – a luminous guide amidst even the stormiest days.

We Are All Interconnected
By Kristine Kozuki
As Pluto entered Aquarius on November 19, we officially entered a new era marked by a shift in energy, perspective, and way of being. This age’s focus will move from “me” to “we” as we awaken to understand that we are all interconnected. True magic occurs when we connect with ourselves and our hearts.
At any given moment, we work with various energy centers, but the goal is to bring the heart and mind into coherence. For too long, we’ve turned to the mind as a defense mechanism to protect our hearts. Consequently, we’ve become disconnected, anxious, and overwhelmed. Achieving heart-mind coherence means integrating the mind's wisdom with the heart's power, creating a harmonious balance between the two. The heart is a powerful center, capable of alchemizing any emotion or energy. When we navigate life from the heart, we make decisions rooted in love, compassion, and joy—leading to more fulfilling, harmonious experiences. This shift requires us to embrace our emotions, not as "good" or "bad," but simply as energy. By not attaching judgment to our feelings, we transform and heal them, creating space for empowered, heart-based decisions. Moving into this new age, we will witness advancements in technology and gain access to an immense wealth of information. To use these tools effectively, we must stay heart-centered. If we remain overly focused on the intellect, we risk confusion and overwhelm. Aquarius invites us to lead with the heart, embracing a new way of being that allows us to navigate the life’s complexities with clarity and purpose. In this new era, the heart is the key to a more connected, joyful, and harmonious existence.

The entire event is free to the public. There are over 45 participating artists working in various mediums including ceramics, photography, mixed media, wood, fiber, drawing, painting and more. The public is invited to join many of the artists at the free Opening Celebration/ Preview Exhibition, where they can preview the artists' work, connect directly with the artists, and pick up copies of our printed guidebook. Our website will also include online artist directories, and our interactive Google map/directory. Visitors can use GPS to find artist locations.
Key dates are: Opening Celebration/Preview Exhibition: Saturday, February 8 from 5pm - 8pm at Kihei Dance Connection 381 Huku Lii Place, Suite #102.

Thermography Reveals Health Issues In Advance
By Nancy Gardner-Heaven
Thermography uses a Medical Grade Infrared Camera for Full Body Scans without carcinogenic radiation. Body scans, from head to toe, can reveal numerous health issues in advance.
Some areas of diagnosis that allow early intervention are detecting the level of stenosis of the carotid artery by comparing readings of the right and left ophthalmic artery and revealing a predisposition to stroke.
For the thyroid, thermography can reveal its function and reveal pre-cancerous inflamed nodules. Comparing readings of the hands and feet shows the blood flow circulation from the heart and the extremities back to the heart.
Breast screening exams I perform (without compression or radiation) have a superior accuracy rate. Viewing the face, jaw, and sub-mandibular regions, we can see root canal infections, temporal mandibular articulation, and clogged estuation tubes causing hearing impairment.
The view of the spine reveals sub-luxation of the spinal vertebra, detecting pinched nerves that cause depleted blood flow to specific organs. These are some of the many images that can be easily addressed with a full body thermography scan.
Below are images of the abdominal region that compare a healthy and dysbiotic condition of the gut.
Below are images of a patient with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) before and after following a Comprehensive Individualized Immune Support Protocol© with it completely gone.

Note To Our Beloved Community
By Tomas and Joan Heartfield
We have loved serving you in all the ways we have from our early days of Romancing The Beloved, our Opening To Love Ceremonies, and our Conversations That Matter to our Divine Feminine-Awakened Masculine and Talking Hearts trainings, to our Inspired Relationship workshops and of course our years of Heart Intelligence Circles.
We’ve been given our Next Directive, right in tune with our astrology, and are being guided to sell our lovely sanctuary to someone(s) who will next love and steward this land. This totally private and majestic little sanctuary has deeply nourished us. It has allowed us to live our purpose and support massive transformation and healing in the 27 years we’ve been here.
We are staying on Maui and will continue to offer our counseling and mentoring and maybe a class here or there, but it is time for a new adventure and we are ready to find new owners/stewards for our gorgeous land, gardens and temples to someone(s) who can see and appreciate this unique property tucked away on the cliffs of Huelo, just 20 minutes from Haiku and walking distance to pools and waterfalls.
We look forward to enjoying more time with our Maui family and friends and send infinite love to all those who have been on this ride with us during these many years of serving you. It has been a true blessing and honor for us. Mahalo Nui Loa!
Tomas and Joan Heartfield, PhD counsel, inspire and coach singles and couples in relationship, communication and intimacy. They offer mentoring for those who want to lead workshops. Joan is the author of Romancing the Beloved. Visit www.talkinghearts.com
Finding Relief And Lightness
By John T. Gelert, LMT
Deep tissue massage therapy is a powerful tool for lifting spirits and promoting emotional well-being. It helps release pent-up negative energy from the mind and body.
Unlike standard relaxation massage, deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle tissue, often reaching areas where physical and emotional tension reside. This form of therapy addresses physical discomfort and allows the body to release stress and negativity stored within tight muscles and connective tissues. By doing so, deep tissue massage can contribute to a profound sense of relief and lightness, helping lift one's mood and energy. Negative energy is often a result of stress, anxiety, or unresolved emotional conflicts, which can manifest as muscle tension and physical pain. Deep tissue massage breaks down adhesion and knots, improving circulation and stimulating the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which are natural mood enhancers. The physical release from deep tissue massage helps promote mental clarity, allowing one to let go of frustration, anger, or sadness. This process of physical and emotional detoxification creates a shift from negative to positive energy, fostering a sense of inner peace and rejuvenation.
Furthermore, the meditative qualities of massage therapy can be grounding. Focusing on breath and body sensations during a massage session helps calm the nervous system, guiding the body from “fight or flight” mode into relaxation and healing. As the nervous system calms, so does the mind, and a relaxed mind is less likely to dwell on negative thoughts.
Standard deep tissue massage techniques can be intense instead of relaxing; those affect emotions and make it harder to let go. That is why finding a skilled deep tissue massage therapist who addresses your needs more gently is so important. At Lomi Hanamana, we created a special type of deep tissue massage with gentle massage techniques to achieve all these benefits and truly uplift your spirit.
John is the proprietor of Lomi Hanamana. Contact 808.214.5054 for more information or to book a massage!
How To Lift Your Spirits
By Barbara Ensign
There are many things that you can do that can lift your spirits, like doing something that you love, going for a walk out in nature, or calling or visiting a friend, to mention just a few. There are also many ways to think of peace or happiness in your mind that will lift your spirits. Lifting your spirits can be a state of consciousness. With the help of hypnosis, you can rewire your subconscious mind so that no matter what difficulties may temporarily disturb your peace, you have within you the power to think differently, knowing that there is nothing or no one that can disturb your happiness.
Have you ever been hypnotized? If you have, then you know by experience that hypnosis is a very pleasant, heightened state of awareness. It works with the subconscious mind to help make the changes that you desire.
Whenever you find yourself moving so fast, it’s hard to stay grounded, but with the help of hypnosis, you know just what to do. This begins by deciding to withdraw for a moment from the outer world, taking several long deep breaths, and focusing on your breathing to reclaim your inner stillness. As you do, your mind begins to function in a healthier way that moves you in the direction of your most beneficial outcomes. Now, calm, it becomes easy to turn within and align your awareness to thoughts and feelings that lift your spirits.
The faster the world seems to move, the more you can maintain and sustain your own inner serenity by making the conscious choice. When you are ready, you can bring your attention to the outer world, bringing that blissful feeling with you wherever you go.
Barbara Ensign is a certified hypnotherapist specializing in past life and life between lives spiritual regression. She has been serving Maui for over 20 years. For more information or to make an appointment, please call 808.269.2129 or visit www.hypnosishawaii.com.
Practicing Energetic Hygiene
By Taryn Kama
In our busy lives, we often prioritize physical and mental health while overlooking an equally vital aspect: energetic hygiene. Just as we clean our homes or wash our hands to stay healthy, maintaining a balanced energy field is essential for overall well-being.
Energetic hygiene involves clearing stagnant or negative energy from our space, aura, and chakras. Our energy field acts like a sponge, absorbing vibrations and emotions from those around us. Without regular cleansing, this energetic "clutter" can lead to fatigue, irritability, or even physical ailments.
By clearing negative energy, we create space for positivity and alignment. Techniques like sound healing, smudging with sage or palo santo, meditation, and energy healing sessions are powerful tools for keeping your energy vibrant and flowing.
One profound benefit of energetic hygiene is its ability to lift your spirit through energy healing.
Practices such as Reiki, sound healing, or chakra balancing help restore harmony to your energy field, reconnecting you with your higher self.
Releasing negativity creates space for inspiration, spiritual growth, and joy—it’s like a fresh breeze for your soul.
Energetic hygiene also strengthens relationships. Negative energy can cloud communication and create tension. Keeping your energy clear helps you show up as your best self, fostering more harmonious connections.
Energetic hygiene isn’t just reactive; it’s proactive. Setting boundaries, grounding and regular self-check-ins protect you from energy drains and keep you balanced.
As we embrace the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, energetic hygiene becomes a vital piece of the puzzle. Making it part of your routine promotes clarity, peace, and resilience, helping you navigate life with grace and vitality.
Cleanse your energy – your soul will thank you!

Healing With Red Light
By Maurgana Stiastny
Red light therapy is a non-invasive, amazing therapeutic treatment that uses a low-level wavelength of red light to promote healing and rejuvenation at the cellular level. It has become very popular and is used in clinics as well as at home.
RLT has wide-ranging benefits for skin, health, pain, relief, and overall well-being. RLT is a low-level laser therapy that is a form of biomodulation.
There are five types of light, and each has therapeutic benefits. Blue light sets the circadian rhythm of our brain. UV light allows for vitamin D synthesis from the sun. Far infrared light heats us up and stimulates cell function.
Red light acts on the mitochondria to stimulate ATP production. Near infrared causes the mitochondria to stimulate ATP production as well.
The red wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving elasticity. This makes it effective for wrinkles and age spots, and it also can accelerate wound healing and diminish scars. It also can be used for acne and rosacea.
Things that it’s been proven to treat are: Arthritic pain, alopecia, hair loss, wrinkles, muscle spasms, muscle and joint pain, muscle tissue tension, stiffness, diminished local circulation, and inflammatory acne. RLT is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. The light penetrates deeply into the tissues, improves circulation, and promotes the repair of damaged cells, which leads to faster recovery and reduced discomfort.
Mental health and well-being also benefit from RLT because it improves the production of melatonin and thereby can enhance your mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Recognized by the FDA, I use red light therapy in my office and find it very effective. Come on in and give it a try.

Learning To Pivot And Trust
By Judy Levy
I’m so grateful for my 40 years of personal therapy, spiritual classes, workshops, personal growth seminars, metaphysical teachers, intuitive readers, brilliant authors, and seminar leaders.
It’s definitely been a multi-dimensional journey over these decades, and the ultimate reward is that I moved to Maui 15 years ago! All I have to do is walk outside anywhere, and my spirit is uplifted.
I don’t know about you all; I still pinch myself and metaphorically “kiss the a’ina” daily for this miracle!
About 30 years ago, my Abraham-Hicks studies began! Dear Esther, who channels these non-physical masters known as “Abraham,” says, “Nothing is more important than I feel good, for it is only when I feel good that I can be of any benefit to anyone else.” I have practiced their wise tool of “pivoting,” consciously shifting my focus so I can come back into balance. It’s different from a spiritual bypass.
The tools were all put to the test last month when I was given my third eviction notice in a year, all for different reasons, but when I blessedly found the fourth newest place, I could clearly see that Goddess had been planning this for my highest good.
The place that is just now available is beyond my wildest dreams on a magical property with lovely folks, but I had to wait for the perfect timing! Now I can surrender to the next/last, I hope, move, and celebrate how easy it will be this time! At 77, I get it… The key concept here is Trust! It works!

Releasing Unhealed Trauma Energy Is Everything
By Melissa Huffman
Energy is the fundamental building block of the universe. Everything we see, hear, and experience is energy in various forms, from the smallest atoms to the vast galaxies. In this expansive realm, humans are not exempt; we continuously exchange energy with our surroundings, whether we acknowledge it or not. Consequently,the quality of the energy we interact with significantly impacts our wellbeing, emotions, and overall life experience.
Clearing negative energy, thought forms, psychic attachments, and counterbalancing influences from astrological planetary aspects that are causing negative opposition becomes a critical practice that can lead us to a healthier and more balanced life that brings harmony and success in all areas.
The significance of energy cannot be overstated. It encompasses the physical energy that propels our bodies and the emotional and spiritual energy that fuels our thoughts and relationships.
The energy we accumulate, positive or negative, influences us and our environment. In environments filled with positivity – like a supportive workplace or a nurturing home – individuals often feel motivated and engaged. Conversely, when surrounded by negative influences, it can leave us feeling worn down, drained, anxious, and overwhelmed.
The good news is that we can clear negative energies to return to alignment with our true nature. Healing practices, such as Reiki and others, can bring back harmony and put us back in balance. This elevates us into a higher state of being, elevating frequencies that can lead to success.
You can learn techniques yourself or consult with healers for assistance.
Energy shapes our existence in profound ways. It can affect our emotions, relationships, and environments. Clearing negative energy is not merely an esoteric concept but a vital practice for maintaining mental health, fostering productivity, and creating a more cohesive positive flow state, empowering us to live more fulfilling lives.

By Douglas Price, D.C.
Firstly, does Spirit itself need uplifting? If the answer to the above is no, what then interferes with your spirit being associated with a normal contented feeling?
When your spirit is in its natural state, we constantly experience happy moments, not just when something good happens but also when seemingly something “so-called bad happens.” We then realize that whatever it is, it is happening for us, not against us. If we truly trust in our spirit, we will realize that there is a reason for everything happening under the sun.
When we are in tune with our spirit, we are one with meaning and purpose. Not minding the circumstances, we will always be contented. Therefore, the real problem is not the spirit within you but the unconscious block that gets in the way of meaning and purpose.
Unconscious blocks cause unanticipated biological shocks. It is not just a physical, unexpected shock; it also shakes the core of our being to the point that we are on the lookout for any possible triggers of the original trauma, whether it be on an emotional, mental, or spiritual level.
Moreover, when triggered, it is related to the original shock and often disguises itself without us being conscious of it. The trigger registers the unconscious to activate the subconscious memory bank to change its nervous system and affect the organ or tissue of the archaic programs of the brain.
German New Medicine, created by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD, offers an effective means to release the unhealed trauma to allow our spirit to soar to great heights no matter the circumstances, restoring us to a sense of meaning and purpose.
