Joe Dunne, Publisher

My whole life I have understood the value of time, that life is much shorter than I ever imagined. A geology class brought that to my attention—rocks accumulate over millions of years and lay down a timeline of change over additional millions of years.

So, for us humans, life is but the blink of an eye in the big picture of a lifetime. The analogy from a geological perspective should be enough for us to understand just how valuable our time is. Too bad it took me years to work on the quality of my time.

There is something special when I am around a calm, content person living in peace. Somehow, it always seems to me, they have figured out the relevance of how they spend their time, in some cases sacrificing much. I am always inspired by people that follow their beliefs, passions and dreams despite the obstacles. Working on me used to be scary; now it is part of living with a purpose.

Time, change, balance, perspective, thinking, actions, beliefs, situations, goals and just plain growing up all play their part in living a balanced life and appreciating the value of time. How do I build value to the moments I spend with loved ones? How do I make hard decisions that divert stress and free up time for me and my loved ones?

Like all things of value, balancing time is hard. But only through work, balance and available time can I choose the memories of life.

I understand the statement that “I am responsible for me, my thinking, behaviors, deeds, everything.” To have time is one thing to totally enjoy; however, the quality of that time is linked to my mind and my thinking. It is hard to cleanse worry and bad habits that work against us, to stay focused on optimum health, self-care, nurturing a soul, clearing the past, apologizing, holding no grudges or resentments. Understanding what was good for me, how to do the right thing and help others so that I could become the best person, father, husband and friend did not come easy for me. To this day, it is still a work in progress. Well worth adding to my personal growth collection is a reminder to work on time balancing.

To allow for a contented and balanced life, I must make room for the good stuff along with cutting, fixing or repairing the bad stuff. The process is hard, but I believe it will be worth it.

While I work on me, I’d like to challenge you to analyze your own time. What would you like to change? What would make your life more balanced?

In peace, love and laughter,

Publisher Joe Dunne

‘Your Health Now’ Welcomes New Patients

Your Health Now (YHN) is committed to giving patients the quality of life they deserve. Through providing the highest quality of health care available today, they help health problems not just go away but go away and never come back again by identifying and treating the root cause of health concerns, not simply managing symptoms.

YHN’s philosophy is simple: “At the heart of our approach is a commitment to look at every patient as more than their individual symptoms and specific conditions. True health care is proactive and preventative, and an ongoing experience we share with our patients.”

The practitioners at YHN are leading doctors within the chiropractic profession and instructors of post-graduate clinical training. Its services include family chiropractic care, functional analysis and rehabilitation, functional neurology, pediatrics, sport chiropractic, active release technique (ART), instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilizations (IASTM), integrative nutrition and more.

The extensive knowledge and clinical expertise they offer patients uniquely qualifies YHN as an authority on conservative management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Their goal is always optimal health for people of all ages rather than only helping patients become less sick.

YHN is now accepting new patients at its Chalfont location. They do not accept insurance, but HSA, FSA and debit/credit are accepted, and Care Plan options are available.

Location: 350 N. Main St., Ste. 201, Chalfont (within Anderson Family Chiropractic Center). For more information, call 609-651-7436 and visit YHNHealth.com. See ad, page 17.

Come to the Farm for Gentle Lymphatic Massage

Linda

Lemire and Heart Flowers

Healing Therapies wish to highlight Manual Lymph Massage (MLD), one of the healing therapies offered at the farm just north of Doylestown. Lymphatic diseases, especially lymphedema, represent a serious problem in the health community. MLD is a light, skin-stretching technique, developed in 1936 by Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder, that treats swollen lymph nodes by helping promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen area.

“During the hour-long session, I first focus attention on the deep lymph nodes to open them to receiving the excess lymphatic fluid and proteins. Then I apply a brushing technique to the limbs to encourage the movement of lymph toward the trunk of the body and solar plexus and ultimately the heart,” shares Lemire. “Deep breathing techniques are usually done at the beginning and end of the session to calm the body and assist it in accepting the movement of the lymph. It is very relaxing.”

This calming therapy not only benefits those with problems with edema, MLD also supports the maintenance needs of the body that ensure good health. The best time to give the body what it needs to function at its best is always now.

Cost: $100 per hour session. Business hours are flexible. Location: 713 Kellers Church Road, Ottsville, (Bedminster Township). For more information, please call 215-534-6138 or email llemire@comcast.net. See directory listing, page 30.
