How
T he September issue in your hands represents our 10th anniversary. That milestone makes me want to thank the entire universe as we are beyond words in gratitude for what we have been gifted. Our first printed issue of Natural Awakenings Central New Jersey hit the stands in September 2012, though the publication had been around since 2005, I believe. For us all the gods, spirits, and universal forces lined up and dropped this magazine at our feet. We were close to broke, and almost broken. I was 68 years old, with little hope of meaningful employment, and a nine-year-old son. But, as we have learned in life, the future is hard to predict so never be surprised by what life is about to Fordeliver.us,life changing is what happened. Spiritually, emotionally, financially—everything changed for the good through purchasing Natural Awakenings. The gifts that poured forth to us are immeasurable in so many ways. The people we have met, the friendships that have developed, and the work itself has made many marks on our soul. I love the fact that we have been involved in helping people—through content, introduction, and networking the mission we believe is so Weimportant.wanted to help people grow, to broadcast a message of good, to contribute to expanding awareness and education while promoting community. We hoped our magazine could be that voice on your shoulder, that pleasant reminder that may pop into your head to “see the good” in everything, everyone we meet, every situation we encounter, and to ask of everyone to try harder to take care of yourself, your families, our planet, to be a better person, and to spread peace.

Sharon Reese Chud, AFMC, and founder of SRC Diet and Wellness, shares “Mainstream medicine doesn’t recognize the effect toxicity may have on the body. Symptoms such as brain fog, confusion, heightened states of anxiety, joint pain, numbness, tremors, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia pain, and weight loss resistance may all be caused by a toxin overload. That’s where functional medicine comes in.” Chud is a certified functional medicine practitioner, certified detox and toxicity specialist, and nutrition counselor. She uses inexpensive functional medicine testing to help identify toxins such as mold, Lyme, parasites, neurotoxins, mercury, lead, food allergies, and hidden infections that inhibit natural healing. Once areas of toxicity are identified, she uses a 6-step detoxifica tion program to help restore health. Clients are seen remotely on Zoom. In additional to reason able fees, Chud offers a free 20-minute consultation to discuss symptoms, and testing and treatment options.
Sessions occur every 2-4 weeks via Zoom for one hour. First session is complimentary. Subsequent sessions are $50. For more information, call 267-415-6168 or email laurenphelps@ icloud.com.

The Toxic Connection to Chronic Illness
Since 1995, Circle of Miracles Ministries, an inclusive spiritual community grounded in love, harmony and peace, has gradu ated over 150 students through its School of Divine Ministry. Those inspired to enroll often do so for self-inquiry or to study world religions; while others take the training for a specific reason, only to discover unexpected revelations. Ordination allows ministers to share their gifts and training in many ways. Some have healing prac tices, some have wedding ministries, some conduct rites of passage, others have taken their ministries into prisons, retirement communities, nursing homes, and into churches. Students are now being interviewed for the school’s new 18-month program which begins October 14. The program meets twice a month in person and twice online. An Open House will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. on September 8 for those interested in learning more about the program.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in older Americans, became less of a threat in 1996 when the national Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) verified that certain nutrients— beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, copper and zinc—slowed its progression. But after other studies showed a link between beta-carotene and lung cancer, it was removed from the for mula. Two carotenoids found in the retina—lutein and zeaxanthin—were added, and the formula was rebranded as AREDS2. In a new, 10-year, follow-up study by the National Eye Institute (NEI), AREDS2 was found to reduce late AMD symptoms an additional 20 percent compared to the original formula. “This 10year data confirms that not only is the new formula safer, it’s actually better at slowing AMD progression,” says Emily Chew, M.D., lead author of the study and director of the NEI Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Application.
An enlarged prostate, known as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), afflicts half of men by age 60 and 90 percent of men by age 85. Although it isn’t cancerous, treatment can involve medications and surgery. European doctors often prescribe the herb nettle root, and Iranian researchers tested its effectiveness in a study that divided 80 BPH patients into two groups. One was given 300 mil ligrams of nettle root extract twice a day for eight weeks; the other group received a placebo. The researchers found the nettle root significantly improved urinary frequency, urinary urgency and night urination compared with the placebo group. It was not effective in modifying prostate volume, the feeling of incomplete emptying, intermittency, urine stream and straining.

Fermented Dairy Helps Sidestep Depression
Sales of fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir have been steadily rising in the U.S., and a new study from Australia’s Deakin University might ac celerate that trend. Researchers examined 24 years of nutritional and health data from 2,603 Finnish men between 42 and 60 years old. They found that men that ranked in the top third of consumption of nonfermented dairy products such as milk and cream had double the risk of depression, while those in the top third of consumption of fermented dairy products like kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream and butter milk enjoyed a 45 percent reduced risk of depression.

9September 2022 Mold is a biotoxin that can cause chronic illness. While mostly found in wet and damp buildings and homes, or ones recently flooded, it can also be found in new homes if wood for building has been piled outside and gotten wet in rainy weather. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) 24% of homes and buildings in the US in 2022 have mold toxicity. Other sources have recorded between 50% and 70% of homes are toxic with mold infestations. This can cause a myriad of health problems for those living or working in these structures. General symptoms may include asthma, acute bronchitis, sinuse congestion/infection, and cognitive impairments such as difficulty with memory, retention of new information, finding the word you’re looking for and brain fog. Shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and headaches are also prevalent. Chronic fatigue, weakness, static shocks, muscle twitching, vertigo, and tremors are often seen. There can be sudden changes in mood and weight gain or loss. There might be a heightened sense of anxiety that is not usual. This is especially challenging for those who fall into the 25%27% of the general population that have one of 9 extra genes on their HLA chromosome. In the presence of mold or other bio toxins such as Lyme for 72 hours or more, this gene activates and that is the defect. The immune system starts cranking out and the brain gets inflamed. Often they become very sick. Extreme fa tigue can lead to becoming bed ridden with chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). The gene trigger may partly explain why people living or working in the same environment respond so differently. The good news is this activation can be reversed. Functional medicine treatment protocols usually begin with anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling in the brain. Then the detective work begins. Inexpensive testing to identify specific my cotoxins ensure the correct targeted binder is used in treatment, along with anti-fungals in nose and gut. Other body systems may be affected by the mold toxins and need to be tested and correct ed, such as hormonal, the digestive system, nervous system, etc. Testing for parasites in the gut may be called for because parasites may hide the mold from treatment. This comprehensive and holistic approach results in removing hindrances to your body’s natural ability to heal itself and restore health and well-being.

Bumble bees can fly in cooler temperatures and lower light levels than many other bees, helping to pollinate crops worth $3 billion annually in the U.S., including tomatoes, peppers and cranberries.
The Western bumble bee, once easily spotted in Cali fornia, could not be found in a recent survey led by the University of CaliforniaRiverside (UCR). The first statewide census of Cali fornia bumble bees in 40 years found several other species absent, as well. UCR entomologist Hollis Woodard’s research group collected bees from 17 sites representing six different ecosystems previously known to host a large variety of bumble bees, as documented in the journal Eco logy and Evolution. One of the missing species, the Western bumble bee, is an important pollinator of wild plants and crops. “We didn’t find it, even once,” says Woodard. This study was an effort to document changes in bumble bee populations across large geographic areas in Califor nia since the last one in the 1980s. Smaller-scale studies have documented significant declines in bumble bee pop ulations around the world due to climate change, develop ment of wild habitat and the use of bee-killing pesticides, so it is important to have data that documents bee health.

A rooftop solar array and 1,182 solar panels on the sides will adorn an eight-story, $40 million, high-rise planned for West Melbourne, Australia, to provide the office building with most of its power. Avancis, a German firm producing glass panels containing solar cells, will supply the solar skin. Architect Pete Kennon says, “These things are possible, and the fact that a building can harness the sunlight from its own skin, it sounds like something you dreamed of, or you saw in a cartoon.” Generating 50 times as much power as a typical home rooftop solar array, the solar skin will save an esti mated 77 tons of CO2 emissions each year. Although this will be the first in Australia to use the panels, several projects in Europe have been built with the technology, including the world’s largest wooden sky scraper in Skellefteå, Sweden. “It feels urgent to innovate our building technologies to more sustainable methods,” says Kennon. “Collecting solar is a natural trajectory on our large-scale projects, particularly in locations that have great access to sunlight.”

Do you need energetic support on your healing journey?
As adults, too often we are barely aware of our lives stuck in grayscale, but if we look deep inside, we long to be the brave red rose in a black-and-white world. Sometimes it takes something drastic, like being faced with a terminal illness, to throw off the shackles of, “What would they think?” and follow our own brand of bliss. Hopefully, most of us can make that decision without such a drastic wake-up call.

Crossing,
In many parts of the world, nature saves her best for last and pulls out all the stops. She dresses the trees in unapologetic glory, inviting us to live more boldly before it’s too late, and to express the passions we’ve held in for dear life. If we are wise, we will fol low our bliss, whether it’s painting that wall in a color that might compromise resale value or dusting off the violin we set aside after high school. Autumn gives us much-needed permission to let our hair down, let our locks go silver or feisty red, let our souls blow in the wind and come in for dinner a little late and disheveled. What parts of ourselves do we hold inside for fear of stand ing out a little too much? What would we wear if we defied fickle trends? How would we love if we realized that there is nothing more important than embodying love?
ature concludes each day with a fiery mural, never again to be exactly duplicated and missed if we look away for a moment too long. “What color is in a picture, enthu siasm is in life,” said Vincent van Gogh, and to live with passion is to live life in full color.

Age Is Not Just a Number
Until recently, age was determined by the year on our birth certificate, but “bio age” is the new number to pay attention to. It might not only predict health outcomes down the road, but also add years to our lives. In groundbreak ing work in 2017, anti-aging researcher Steven Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles, used algorithms to calculate biological age on the basis of how extensively our genome is modified by a process called DNA methylation. Researchers are now understanding what factors can turn on positive gene expressions and turn off those that may activate life-threatening diseases.
GROWING YOUNGER L ONGEVITY STRATEGIES THAT HELP REVERSE THE AGING PROCESS by Marlaina Donato
ongevity, a human quest through the ages, is now a hot topic among scientific researchers that assert there has never been a better time to maximize our potential for metabolic renewal. Biological age—the state of our health at the cellular level—is in the spotlight, as are the anti-aging benefits of science-supported phyto nutrients, cell-rejuvenating foods and safe, non-surgical, stem cell procedures. Functional medicine, with its focus on the biologybased root causes of disease, is also a rising star in the arena of ageNoreversal.matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, deter mines destiny. “On average in the United States, the last 16 years of life are spent with multiple diagnoses and on multiple medications. We are giving our hard-earned money to phar macies, hospitals and nursing facilities,” says Kara Fitzgerald, a naturopathic doctor in Newtown, Connecticut, and the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better. She and other researchers contrast “lifespan”, the years from birth to death, to “healthspan”, the years spent in good health free of age-related disease and disability. “Lifespan is not necessarily healthspan, and we can change that,” she says.

Molecular Magic Harvard genetics professor David Sinclair, author of the seminal Lifespan: Why We Age—And Why We Don’t Have To, discovered antioxidant-rich resveratrol in grapes in 2003. Since then, he and other researchers have found additional compounds with the ability to activate longevity pathways. Nicotinamide adenine di nucleotide (NAD, or B3), a coenzyme involved in many metabolic processes essential to life, has been shown to rejuvenate aging mice, increasing energy-producing mitochondria in the cells and fortifying muscle mass. The body makes less NAD as we age, but research suggests that intermittent fasting, exercise and heat sau nas can stimulate this youth-preserving molecule. NAD-boosting supplements are also on the market, but consuming foods like naturally fermented sauerkraut, raw milk, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds is also a good strategy.

Fitzgerald and her team drove this point home with the first randomized, controlled study on the power of lifestyle and diet to turn back the biological age clock. Based upon functional medicine, the program enrolled 18 healthy men between ages 50 and 72 in a target group and 20 in a control group. Those in the target group ate a nutrient-rich diet, slept seven hours a night, practiced relaxation techniques and took supplemental probiot ics and phytonutrients. They ate only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., exercised for at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoided sweets and consumed two cups of dark, leafy, greens and three cups each of cruciferous vegetables and colorful vegetables daily, as well as six ounces of animal protein.
Chronic systemic inflammation is now understood to be the physi ological springboard for most diseases ranging from cancer to de pression, but its connection to uric acid is critical in producing free radicals that accelerate aging. “Unfortunately, most doctors look upon uric acid solely as a risk marker for gout. We now recognize that uric acid serves as a powerful signal in the body to prepare for food and water scarcity,” says neurologist David Perlmutter, author of The New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and the recent Drop Acid, a guide to lowering uric acid in the body. “Uric acid levels above 5.5 milligrams per decilitre trigger the body to raise the blood pressure, increase the blood sugar, become insulin-resistant and increase the formation and storage of body fat,” he says. “Cen tral to regaining metabolic health and reducing risk for metabolic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes is reining in uric acid.”

What is the state of your brain? Do you write off memory loss and forgetfulness as a sign of aging? Yet there are plenty of people in their 90s who are sharp as ever and also younger people struggling with brain fog, memory and such. What is going on? What can we do? This discussion here just scratches the surface, but gives you direc tion for more research and action—help for your brain! Let’s turn to some doctors. Dr. Perl mutter and Dr. Dresden are doing ground-breaking work in the brain arena. They talk about Alzheimer’s as type 3 diabetes! They tell us that our brain needs healthy fats and cholesterol. So what has been the effect of the low fat, high sugar and carbohydrate diets of the last 40-50 years? ADD, ADHD, autism, learning dif ficulties, dementia and Alzheimer’s are on the rise; no one can argue with that. In the near future, it has been said, half of people who reach age 85 will have dementia or Alzheimer’s! Clearly areas of concern, yet help is on the way. What do they say? Dr. Perlmutter’s newly revised edition of his wildly successful Grain Brain has been educating people about the brain for two or so decades.

Dr. Dresden has published a book, How to Reverse Alzheimer’s. A bold statement indeed! Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Dresden provide practical information and hope as well. Their books are vital to learning about brain health. Dr. Dresden sees deteriora tion of brain health as due to inflammation (from infection, diet or other); lack of sufficient supportive nutrients, hormones, and such (brain and body chemistry); and thirdly, toxic substances such as metals or microbes produced by mold toxicity or other. Genetics can play a part but do not have to be a determinant. Detoxing may be necessary. Diet of course plays a big part, either nourishing the brain or adding to cognitive decline. These doctors tell us how sugar and gluten play huge roles in declin ing brain health. Read their books for the full story and for help for your brain! What else can we do? Another factor in brain decline is STRESS: life stress, emotional stress and trauma for example. Crossinology® Brain Integration Technique (BIT—a proven technique, developed 30 years ago) reduces stress in your brain and body so that your cognitive function improves, even develops cognitive func tions that were struggles long ago in school! Brain connections are strengthened and new ones generated!

According to Alexander Feoktistov, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the Synergy Integrative Headache Center, in Chicago, many headaches are caused by some form of stress. “Both physical and emotional stress can manifest with headaches. These are often triggered by
changes in a routine or schedule, which throws the body’s regulatory rhythm off. Skipping meals, varying your sleep pat terns and exercising inconsistently can all confuse the body and lead to a headache, varying in intensity from dull and distract ing to severe and debilitating,” he explains.
There are more than 150 types of headaches, with the most common being tension, mi graine and cluster. Migraine attacks, which according to the Migraine Research Founda tion affect 12 percent of people in the U.S., are about three times more common in women than in men. Classic symptoms, which can be mild to severe, include throbbing or pound ing pain located in the sinuses, forehead, back of the head or one of the temples.

The Mind-Body Connection
eadaches are one of the most common pain conditions in the world. According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 75 percent of adults have had a headache in the past year. While symptoms vary in scope and intensity, understanding the un derlying cause of a headache can lead to better treatment outcomes. Most headaches can be treated holistically, and lifestyle modifications can be key to lasting relief.

NATURAL STRATEGIES HELP HALT THE PAIN by Carrie Jackson
Triggers Migraine can be triggered by changes in the weather, fatigue, stress, anxiety, insufficient sleep, dehydration and hormonal changes, according to the American Migraine Foun dation. Headaches can also be provoked by certain allergens, such as cigarette smoke, exposure to harsh chemicals in cleaning or beauty products, mold, dust, caffeine, alcohol and fermented foods.
While not completely understood, mental stress and anxiety can also be a trigger. “The mind-body connection is fierce,” says Christina P. Kantzavelos, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in chronic illness and pain at Begin Within Today, in San Diego. “It’s important to keep in mind that pain literally originates in the brain. I use a Constructed Aware ness approach with clients and bring cu riosity to the pain they are experiencing, Most headaches can be modificationsandholistically,treatedlifestylecanbekeytolastingrelief.
19September 2022 including headaches. What thoughts and emotions are coming up when they focus on the pain?” she says. “Physical symptoms are often the manifestation or tangible evidence of what is going on in your unconscious mind. Our bodies become stronger or weaker, depending on our emotional state. Fear, self-criticism and invalidating the self can be the root of a headache.”
Supplements Help Nutritional supplements can also be helpful, Renee says. “Increas ing nutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q-10 and riboflavin can help minimize pain. Before stocking up on supplements, be sure to consult with a holistic practitioner to make sure you are making the wisest and safest selections for you. Many nutrients can be found in common foods like dark chocolate, leafy greens, seeds and nuts, meat, fatty fish and legumes.”
Try Acupuncture or Acupressure Evidence suggests that acupuncture is effective in relieving the pain of headaches by changing the flow of energy, increasing blood circulation, releasing endorphins and relaxing muscles. Acupressure and other techniques can be done anywhere, says chiropractor and acupuncturist Michele Renee, director of integrative care at Northwestern Health Sciences University, in Bloomington, Minnesota. “The best acupressure point for head aches is the soft skin in-between the thumb and pointer finger. Massage it for 20 to 30 seconds at a time to relieve pain or hold it for 10 seconds,” she says. “Migraines are caused by vascular dilation in the head, so I recommend putting your hands and feet in hot water or taking a bath to stimulate blood flow away from the head to the rest of the body.”
Good Practices Feoktistov recommends that patients experiencing headaches start with lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter meds such as ibuprofen. “Practice good sleep hygiene, stay hydrated by drinking water and minimizing caffeine, and introduce medita tion as a way of focusing on what’s physically and emotionally going on in your body,” he says. “If headaches disrupt your daily routine, are severe or frequent and/or poorly controlled with overthe-counter medications, it’s time to seek help from a headache specialist or other medical professional who can work with you on a path to healing.”
Renee also suggests maintaining a regular exercise routine to ward off headaches. “The less active someone is, the tighter their muscles are and the more likely they will experience headaches. Make sure to get out for a walk every day, or try running to keep the body and mind moving. Yoga is another great activity as a mindfulness practice that decreases stress and also keeps the body moving to eliminate tension.”

A dults often want to shield children from suffering, but that isn’t always possible or advisable. Loss and grief are natural parts of life. Acknowledging and express ing uncomfortable feelings are necessary lessons in being human, and while there is no right way to grieve, adults can provide gentle guideposts. Most importantly, kids need to know that they aren’t alone as they process complicated emotions and inte grate lessons of empathy and acceptance.

“At first, Joey misses his yellow balloon all of the time, then he misses it most of the time, then a lot of the time and then just some of the time, and the color slowly comes back into his world. At the end, when he says, ‘I still miss you, but when ever I see the sun, I’ll feel you with me,’ that’s when the color has shadow, light and range, because when you go through a profound loss and feel your feelings, you can see the world with greater depth and empathy for those around you.”
The beginning pages of My Yellow Balloon are rendered in full color to illustrate Joey’ s innocence. He has never known pain. After he loses the balloon, the ensuing pages turn black-and-white. “Loss is disorienting. I wanted to give kids that visceral under standing that it feels like the whole world turns upside-down and you just have to sit there helpless and watch your balloon float away—watch your life as you knew it get ting away from you,” Papageorge says.
In My Yellow Balloon, an award-winning children’s picture book, a little boy named Joey comes to love the lemon-colored balloon he receives at a carnival. Tied to his wrist, it isn’t just Joey’s favorite toy, it also becomes a loyal companion through many fun adventures.
HOW TO HELP CHILDREN NAVIGATE THROUGH LOSS
One day, the string slips off his wrist and Joey’s best friend flies away, catapulting him on a journey through grief. “The yellow balloon is a metaphor for all kinds of losses—divorce, death, grade school graduation,” explains the book’s author and certified grief worker Tiffany Papageorge. “We think of loss as the death of a person, but loss can also be any change, transition or disappoint ment—big or small. The older we get, the more we shake them off, but some disap pointments can feel big in the moment, especially for little kids.”

Learning to Grieve
According to Papageorge, her book is intended to serve as a roadmap through grief that parents and kids can read to gether. “It’s important to acknowledge and
Equine Gestalt Coaching Intuitive Reiki validate the pain a child is experiencing,” she says. “When a toddler throws a tan trum at the store, instead of ignoring them or telling them to stop it, say ‘I know you’re disappointed and sad. I understand that; it doesn’t feel good. I’m here with you.’ Some thing magical happens when anyone at any age is acknowledged and understood.”
According to Brittany Collins, an educa tor, curriculum designer and author of Learning from Loss: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Grieving Stu dents, “Grief elicits a fight-or-flight stress response, and chronic exposure to high levels of stress hormones can have deleteri ous effects on development, especially in adolescents when the prefrontal cortex is still in development. At the same time, neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to grow, change and adapt at any point in life, is also at play. So, adolescence is a wonder ful moment to introduce teens to coping strategies they can use throughout their life, whether that’s mindfulness, different types of emotional regulations, storytelling activities, meditation, journaling or yoga.”

Expressive writing (journaling using emotion words) promotes regulation of the nervous system, which in turn lowers that stress response and creates physiological relief, Collins notes, adding, “Scientific data suggests that the metacognition involved in identifying feelings and writing feel ing-based words in narratives improves immune and liver function, elicits higher quality-of-life scores and improves psycho logicalWhenwell-being.”welosealoved one, we lose what psychologists call hidden regulators—sen sory facets that subconsciously make us feel that things are okay in the world. It could be the sound of a parent’s car pulling into the driveway after work or the smell of a loved one’s cologne. Collins says that teachers and parents can counterbalance a destabilizing loss by introducing routine and predictability in children’s schedules, perhaps starting class the same way every day with a five-minute free-write, or sched uling regular visits with a special mentor or relative every Saturday. Kids come to rely on such anchors in times of stress, upheaval and loss.

Collins suggests that caring adults shift their mindset away from being a savior, because grief is not something to be fixed or solved, and instead serve as a facili tator of connection. “Think about what form of outlet might resonate with young people and shift the onus away from one adult being the person that says and does the right thing, and instead wrapping a community around them for support,” she says. Helpful resources include mental health professionals; youth engagement programs where kids experiencing loss can share and learn from each other; and activities that offer release and friendship, such as theater, dance, sports or Adultsmusic.should resist the temptation to jump in and assume they know what’s best for a grieving child, Col lins counsels. “Ask open-ended questions like, ‘What would be most helpful to you in this moment?’ or, ‘What makes you feel calm or connected?’ Find ways to inspire introspection and reflection without telling young people that we know the answer.” Making space to remember a lost loved one or to honor something we’ve lost can be healing for both kids and adults. Collins suggests that we ask kids how they’d like to memorialize a loss, preferably in community. Maybe they want to plant a tree in honor of someone’s memory or create a fundraiser for a cause that the loved one cared about.

Ultimately, the greatest gift we can give grieving children is our presence. According to Collins, one of the best predictors of adjustment is a psychological concept called “per ceived support availability.” Letting young people know that we’re thinking about them and that we’re there if and when they need us can go a long way.

“What I learned is that we need four essential physical skills to navigate through life as we age—strength, flexibility, balance and agility—and we get that from yoga. We can find independence in our everyday life, and we don’t need a vigorous yoga class to do that,” says Ruth Pipitone, a gentle yoga instructor at various stu dios and senior centers in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

In 2021, a meta-analysis of 12 studies published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that yoga can increase muscle strength, mobility, balance and lower body flexibility in mature adults. An older study from Temple University showed that Iyengar yoga can improve balance and prevent falls in women over 65 years old.
The Breath of Now
The keystone of all yoga practice is working with the breath, an action that is naturally compromised by just getting out of bed and into the day’s challenges. “Most adults breathe from their chest. That’s where we activate the stress response of fight, flight or freeze. We need to use the lower lungs, too, so we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system to find calm,” says Pipitone. Blair, who specializes in helping others to find emotional equilibrium after trauma, concurs: “The nervous system is sym biotic with the breath, and vice versa. A long, deep inhale and a long, slow exhale can act as an immediate elixir for the nervous system to recognize that, in that moment, we are okay.” She has taught groups of people, some in wheelchairs and hospital beds, and she “still experienced the entire room shift when breathing together. As long as we are able to consciously notice breath, we can do yoga.” No matter how many trips we take around the sun, tapping into the life force can give us a new perspective. “I use asana (yoga poses) to examine my thoughts and feelings and to find introspec tion to examine what is happening with myself physically, as well as mentally and emotionally,” says Pipitone. “You become more mindful of what you need to carry with you and what you don’t need to carry with you.” In essence, we deepen as we age, and yoga can meet us on a multidimensional level. “Yoga does not have to mean poses. Pos sibilities are infinite, and adaptations are unlimited, based upon our needs,” says Blair. Connect with Maya Whitman at ekstasis28@gmail.com.

Wading In Slowly
Many years ago, I was introduced to the works of Stephen Levine, an ac claimed author, poet and teacher best known for his work on death and dying, through his book A Year to Live. It focused on finding the moments in each day to be appreciative and grateful for the one life we are given. I read my second Levine book, Healing Into Life and Death, during my own RYT 300 Hour Teacher Training 13 years ago, and again about one month ago while preparing for my next incoming group of students to train with me for their Advanced Thera peutic Yoga Degree. It felt as if it had been waiting all these years for me to find it for the second time. When I opened my dusty book from 13 years ago, I felt as if I was opening a trea sure box. I felt connected to the smell, the texture, the weight of the book. I brought this book on a backpacking trip and read it under a full moon in a tent with a headlamp attached to my body. I felt a connection that I don’t often feel with a tangible item. That first night, in the moonlight, I got as far as page 13. And this is what I read: “There are many ways this work can be used. It can be read like a book, not unlike passively sitting on a riverbank listening to the rippling waters, or one can go swimming in it, actively participating in it as a healing process. Indeed, there is a story about an intellectual youth who felt he could learn everything from books. He read about the stars and became an astronomer, he read about his tory and became a historian, he read about swimming and drowned. Some things we can learn only by wading in slowly, from the direct experience of the ‘ocean of being’ lap ping against our body. To enter this process directly is to participate in the healing we took birth for, is to become fully alive.
The secret of healing is there’s no secret at all. Healing is an open book. You are not on page 13.” This introduction affected me on a visceral level. I could feel my veins pulsating, I could sense the energy shifting in my body, I could smell the scent of hope in my future. I realized in that very moment, that I have wasted many years of my life living for tomorrow instead of today, creating story lines that never came to fruition, placing expectations on others that were unrealistic and most importantly avoiding my own internal healing process and tending to my own heart. Along this journey of helping others, I forgot about the most important person of all, me To heal is a journey and to find the courage to heal has been the most challenging aspect of healing for me. Healing into death, bequests us all to heal into life. At the moment of death, we should all be able to reflect upon this life, and all it has brought us with sincere gratitude. As I heal my own heart, I realize that my vulner ability will help others do the same. We are all humans, just being and I suspect we all are trying our best.
