O

ctober is one of my favorite times of year. It’s my birthday month, the anniversary of my first Natural Awakenings issue (October 2010), and the most beautiful month for its colorful trees and harvest landscapes.

I’m just starting to see a tinge of color in my favorite tree. It was in danger of being cut down and paved over when we lengthened our driveway — the paving contractor sure that it would die anyway, the mason unhappy about making an awkward turn in the retaining wall to go around it, and my husband secretly wishing for more space to maneuver his car. But the tree and I prevailed. I still worry that the asphalt is too close and will crowd the tree’s roots, but for now it turns the most brilliant red of any in the yard, and makes me smile when I pull into the driveway.

Last month, our September issue celebrated Yoga. We received several inquiries about how and where to start practicing, so we are continuing our coverage this month with a Guide to Yoga Styles, and an ad directory of local Yoga studios. It’s a great time of the year to take up the practice: As the weather cools, it’s helpful to keep your muscles limber and your joints flexible — and the mental, spiritual aspect of Yoga can also support you through the hectic and sometimes blue days of fall and winter.

Thanks for all your votes in our Natural Choice Awards. The response has been really terrific, with hundreds of businesses and practitioners nominated. We already have a few nominees clearly in the lead as Overall Favorite but that could change easily as new entries come in. Whoever takes the honor will receive a full page Community Profile in the January issue so that all our local Natural Awakenings readers can learn about them. The voting is open until November 30, so if you haven’t entered the names of your favorite natural health, wellness and green companies, there’s still time. You can find the ballot on pages 32 and 33, or online at NaturalAwakeningsNJ.com.

Happy fall!

n recognition of World Habitat Day, held on October 1, the Morris Habitat ReStore, at 274 South Salem Street, Suite 100, Randolph, will be participating along with hundreds of other ReStore facilities across the country to raise awareness of housing issues while soliciting cash donations. The public is encouraged to stop by to help “Buy a House to Build a Home” through October 6, when Morris Habitat will be selling little paper houses for $1 each for display within the ReStore, as well as T-shirts, canvas bags and water bottles, at $5, with all proceeds going to help build safe and affordable housing in the area.

October 1 was declared World Habitat Day by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1985. Its purpose is three-fold: to call attention to the need for better shelter around the world; to let it be known that affordable, adequate housing should be a priority everywhere; and to change the systems, policies and attitudes that lead to poverty housing, and involve partners in solutions. This year’s theme, “Many Homes, One Community,” will call attention to the pivotal role of housing in the development of a neighborhood.

Morris Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing agency dedicated to providing decent, affordable housing for low-income families in Morris County and the surrounding New Jersey area. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Morris Habitat builds and rehabilitates houses in partnership with families in need. Its ReStore, which sells new and gently used building supplies, furniture, appliances, lighting and more, is open to the general public from Wednesday to Friday, 10am to 6pm; Saturday, 10am to 5pm; and Sunday, noon to 5pm. Cash, debit cards, Visa and MasterCard are accepted.

For more information, visit MorrisRestore.org or call 973-3663358. Donations, which are tax deductible, can be dropped off during store hours or scheduled for pickup by calling the number above.

he U.S. Green Building Council New Jersey Chapter (USGBC NJ) celebrates its 10th anniversary with its gala and awards dinner on October 11 at the Revel Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. The event’s location proves to be a star in its own right: The visually striking site was built according to high sustainability and green building standards.

The USGBC NJ’s annual gala is the networking event of the year for green building and sustainability professionals in the tri-state area. This year’s keynote speaker is visionary environmental business leader and advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy is an inspiring voice in the field of environmental advocacy. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's “Heroes for the Planet” for his success in helping Riverkeeper, New York’s clean water advocate, lead the fight to restore the Hudson River.

Each year USGBC NJ recognizes and presents Gala Awards to companies and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in green building and sustainability. There are five award categories: community; green team; green ground breaking; municipal/public-private sector; and student.

“For 10 years USGBC NJ has served as the meeting ground and center for best practices for sustainability and green building industries for businesses, schools, healthcare and public sector organizations,” says Florence Block, USGBC NJ Executive Director. “This event celebrates the people, projects and organizations that are transforming New Jersey into a more sustainable state impacting economics, health and the environment.” As New Jersey’s green building advocate and education resource, USGBC NJ provides more than 150 educational programs, events, green building tours, research studies, and advocacy initiatives each year through its three-branch, statewide network. Currently, USGBC NJ is providing grant-funded green building education to New Jersey’s veterans and the unemployed.

Transform Yourself, Transform Your Life: Hypnosis Counselor Opens Office in Sparta

E

va Santamaria, a certified hypnosis counselor, has recently opened an office at 46 Main Street, Suite 110, in Sparta. Santamaria holds a diploma in hypnotherapy from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the first nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy. She is a member of the American Hypnosis Association and the Hypnotherapists Union Local 472. Santamaria works successfully with clients to resolve issues as diverse as test-taking and other performance anxieties, fitness motivation, career changes, self-confidence, smoking cessation, stress relief, creative inspiration, fear of flying, improved rest, and more.

Santamaria was introduced to self-hypnosis as a teenager by her father, a psychoanalyst, to help her overcome a mental block that had prevented her from learning math successfully. Years later, after 20 years of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, she was referred to a hypnotist and quit smoking — for good — with no weight gain and no irritability. She experienced the joy and relief of finally being free of a decades-long struggle with nicotine addiction.

On Sunday, November 4, at 6 pm, they host Awakening: A Kirtan Mass, led by Rev. James Reho, celebrant, and Billy Mitchum, wallah.

healthbriefs Back to School Without Back Pain: Backpack Safety

W

e’ve heard that books help children develop mentally, but can they also be harmful to a youngster’s body?

When children’s backpacks are filled to the brim with books, the weight of learning can injure young spines.

When you send your child off to school, you see an energetic child eager to learn. A doctor of chiropractic, a health specialist who puts particular emphasis on spinal integrity, sees something else. Over the course of a school day, a child’s backpack can weigh up to 30 pounds. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child’s backpack should not weigh more than ten percent of a child’s weight. A too-heavy backpack throws Dr. Melissa Gagne off a child’s equilibrium and balance and contributes to lower back pain. Such weight compressed in one area forces children into a habit of bad posture and poor weight distribution.

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recommends the following tips for backpack use (ACAtoday.org): • Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than ten percent of his or her body weight. A heavier backpack will cause your child to bend forward in an attempt to support the weight on his or her back, rather than on the shoulders, by the straps.

• The backpack should never hang more than four inches below the waistline.

A backpack that hangs too low increases the weight on the shoulders, causing

your child to lean forward when walking.

• A backpack with individualized compartments helps in positioning the contents most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on your child’s back.

• Bigger is not necessarily better. The more room there is in a backpack, the more your child will carry — and the heavier the backpack will be.

• Urge your child to wear both shoulder straps. Lugging the backpack around by one strap can cause the disproportionate shift of weight to one side, leading to neck and muscle spasms and low-back pain.

• Wide, padded straps are very important. Non-padded straps are uncomfortable and can dig into your child’s shoulders. The shoulder straps should be adjustable so that the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. Straps that are

too loose can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably and cause spinal misalignment and pain.

• If the backpack is still too heavy, talk to your child’s teacher. Ask if your child could leave the heaviest books at school, and bring home only lighter handout materials or workbooks.

Although the use of roller packs —backpacks on wheels — has become popular in recent years, the ACA is now recommending that they be used cautiously and on a limited basis by only those students who are not physically able to carry a backpack. Some school districts have begun banning the use of roller packs because they clutter hallways, resulting in dangerous trips and falls.

Most importantly, remember pain is a symptom and not a cause. Pain of any type can be an indication of a possible health problem. It signals that the body is not functioning properly, and since the body is made up of nerves that travel through the spine to all parts of the body, the source of the problem may not be at the point of the pain. If you feel your child is suffering from pain, call 973-627-0910 to speak to one of the specialists at Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center.

“I have been a patient of Dr. Sunita Merriman since April 2010.

Dr. Merriman and her competent and courteous staff made the transition from my previous dentist of 20 years quite comfortable. Dr. Merriman and her team are professional, skilled, and accommodating, as one would expect. However, this office goes beyond one’s expectations.

The office décor is inviting and provides a warm, soothing, and relaxing atmosphere. The friendly greetings, warm smiles, and honest conversation make me feel welcomed. Their collective interest in me as an individual validates that I am not just a patient, but I am seen and treated as a “spiritual being.” It’s a unique mind, body, and spiritual experience.

October 24 Is Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Day

T

he popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily, according to a study of Americans’ use of the ancient Chinese energybalancing technique, published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Researchers found that in 2007, 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen, up 42 percent from 2002 (at that time, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option).

Most commonly used for pain relief, acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the body’s energy channels, called meridians, corrects imbalances and helps restore health. Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves, which trigger the brain to release endorphins, the body’s pain-relieving chemicals.

Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972. New York Times reporter James Reston, who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip, wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced.

Breast Health Screening Questioned

O

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and thousands of well-meaning healthcare providers will continue to recommend mammograms.

However, a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach, at least on an annual basis, and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure.

A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed. The researchers wrote, “Recent radiobiological studies have provided compelling evidence that the lowenergy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four times—but possibly as much as six times—more likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-rays.”

Peter Gøtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review, Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography, which concludes, “Currently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancer.” In 2011, Gøtzsche stated, “It is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screening.”

ecotip Good Idea

Eco-Checklist Tracks Personal Progress Keeping daily to-do lists is standard practice for many life projects. Now, the environmentally conscious can periodically monitor their personal eco-progress via ChasingGreen.org/ green-actions. The website helps people to become greener by suggesting many activities and ideas to consider and then check off when they have been accomplished, all while exchanging ideas with an interactive community.

Eight categories—energy, health, heating and cooling, recycle and reuse, travel, water, miscellaneous and onetime actions—together contain more than 150 distinct actionable steps. Users can register or log-in using Facebook and save the latest additions to their progress report, then return at any time to monitor the successful greening of their lifestyle.

For example, while many homeowners may have already insulated their dwelling, the energy section points out possible areas for improvement, including water pipes, roof, walls, window treatments, doors, ductwork, water heater and basement. Some tips in the miscellaneous section are timely for upcoming holidays, such as giving an ecofriendly gift, substituting an experience for a tangible gift and sending e-cards instead of traditional paper greetings.

The travel section reminds the ecoand budget-conscious to check their cars’ tire pressure often, as underinflated tires put more rubber on the road, which demands more energy to drive and hurts gas mileage. When planning trips, a rail option is deemed better for the environment than driving or flying.

Operators of the site, based in Walla Walla, Washington, state: “By offering small steps towards going green, we hope to give people a starting point and a source of inspiration. We are advocates of the proverbial, ‘Well, I can do that!’ moment.” Relevant articles on various topics offer additional ecotips, enhanced by user comments and reviews.

Y

oga, a holistic art and practice that originated some 5,000 years ago in India, aims to integrate mind, body and spirit. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to yoke” or “unite,” and refers to the joining of body with mind and mind with soul to achieve health, balance, tranquility and enlightenment.

Individuals of every age and physical condition can benefit from the regular practice of yoga, which has been proved to enhance flexibility, strength, stamina and concentration. Using a combination of asanas, or postures, and breathing techniques, yoga works to induce deep relaxation and reduce stress, tone the body and organs, increase vitality and improve circulation and energy flow. Uplifting and meditative, yoga can be applied as a spiritual practice, as well.

Although many schools, or styles, of yoga exist, most differences derive from the primary focus of the practitioner’s attention: precise alignment of the body; holding of the asanas; flow between the postures; breath and movement coordination; or inner awareness and meditation. No particular style is better than another, and many students practice more than one.

Ananda: A form of gentle Hatha yoga with an emphasis on meditation. Ananda combines classic yoga postures with breathing and silent affirmations to attune with higher levels of body sense, energy and silent inner awareness. As an inner-directed practice, it has less appeal to those desiring a more athletic or aerobic experience.

Anusara: Anusara means “go with the flow,” and blends spirituality with inner/outer alignment and balanced energetic actions.

Developed by John Friend in 1997, this style urges students to think of poses as artistic expressions of the heart. Individual abilities and limitations are deeply respected and honored, so Anusara yoga can be helpful for everyone and is good for beginners.

Ashtanga: A physically demanding style that is light on meditation, Ashtanga yoga employs a fast-paced series of flowing poses to build strength, flexibility and stamina.

Developed by Indian yoga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Ashtanga’s progressively difficult postures are synchronized with a loud breath (called Ujyaii in Sanskrit) and are designed to produce intense internal heat and purifying sweat in order to detoxify muscles and organs. The room is usually heated to warm muscles and increase flexibility. Preferred by many athletes, this style is too intense and demanding for most beginners.

Bikram: A strenuous style, designed to make students sweat, taught in rooms heated to a minimum of 105º Fahrenheit, with about 40

NaturalAwakeningsNJ.com

percent humidity. The superheated rooms facilitate stretching and allow the body to release toxins through perspiration. Former national India yoga champion Bikram Choudhury developed the style, whose 26 demanding poses are performed in a specific order, to promote optimal health and proper function of every bodily system. Bikram yoga is a good choice for highly fit individuals and seasoned students seeking a challenge.

Hatha: Hatha yoga is the foundational discipline on which nearly all other styles are based. In Sanskrit, ha represents the sun and tha, the moon—hence, the practice is designed to bring the yin and yang, light and dark, masculine and feminine aspects and polarities into balance. Essentially, Hatha yoga brings all aspects of life together. A class described as hatha will likely include slow-paced stretching, asanas, or postures, that are not too difficult, simple breathing exercises and perhaps, seated meditation.

Hatha yoga classes provide a good starting point for beginners, who can learn basic poses and relaxation techniques.

Integral: A gentle style of yoga brought to this country in 1966 by Sri Swami Satchidananda. Classes are structured to balance physical effort with relaxation and include breathing practices, chanting and both guided and silent meditation. Integral yoga is suitable for beginners and helpful for more advanced students who wish to deepen their physical and spiritual awareness.

Integrative yoga therapy: Gentle postures, guided imagery, assisted stretching and breathwork help to make this yoga a useful style for rehab centers and hospitals. Joseph LePage began this therapy in the early 1990s to help promote healing and well-being for individuals facing heart disease, cancer, AIDS and psychiatric disorders.

movement from one posture to another happens unconsciously and spontaneously.

Students are encouraged to honor “the wisdom of the body” and to work according to the limits of their flexibility and strength.

Kripalu is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced students.

Kundalini: A powerful, enlightening style that incorporates mantras (chanting), meditation, visualization, breathing and guided relaxation, with precise postures. According to Hindu philosophy, kundalini is a concentrated form of prana, or life force, represented by a coiled, sleeping serpent said to reside at the base of the spine. When breath and movement awaken the serpent (energy), it moves up the spine through each of the seven chakras (energy centers) of the body, bringing energy and bliss. Once a closely guarded secret in India, kundalini yoga was first brought to the West in 1969 and has been known to help with addictions and releasing endorphins in the body. Kundalini will not appeal to everyone and should be practiced under the supervision of an experienced teacher.

Phoenix Rising yoga therapy: This style helps release physical and emotional tension through assisted postures, breathing techniques and ongoing student/teacher dialogue. A deeper connection to the self is encouraged by incorporating traditional yoga techniques with contemporary psychology, which ultimately results in the healing of mind, body and spirit.

Iyengar: Noted for precise alignment and symmetry of postures, the development of balance, and the use of props such as blocks, balls and belts. The Iyengar style of yoga was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, based on an exceptional understanding of how the body works. Poses are held longer than usual.

Iyengar is a good style for beginners, but can challenge seasoned practitioners, as well.

Power: An intense style that creates heat and energy, while developing strength and flexibility. Power yoga evolved from ashtanga yoga and was developed by American Beryl Bender Birch in the early 1990s. Its flowing style requires the strength and stamina of Ashtanga, but doesn’t always follow the same sequence of postures, making it similar to Vinyasa style. Power yoga is usually performed in a heated room.

Although Baron Baptiste is a name often associated with power yoga, he has developed his own method, called Baptiste Power Vinyasa yoga, which is taught only by teachers he certifies. Students who enjoy aerobics will probably favor power yoga.

Kripalu: An integrated practice that emphasizes breathing and alignment and coordinates the breath with movement. Kripalu, also called the yoga of consciousness, was developed by Amrit Desai, a long-time student of Kundalini yoga master Swami Kripaluvananda. This style incorporates three stages of development, beginning with postural alignment and progressing to meditation, with longer posture holding, finally creating a meditation in motion, where the

Sivananda: Cultivates awareness of mind and body by incorporating five main principles of proper exercise, breathing, relaxation and diet, as well as positive thinking and meditation. Based on the philosophy of Swami Sivananda, of India, the practice uses chanting, breathing techniques and meditation to help unblock energy and release stress. Sivananda focuses on 12 basic yoga postures to increase strength and spinal flexibility. It is an excellent practice for begin-

ners, those recovering from injury or anyone interested in spiritual aspects of yoga.

Svaroopa: A style that helps each student discover their bliss. The Sanskrit word svaroopa means “the true nature of Being,” and Svaroopa yoga is sometimes called the yoga of alignment and compassion. Attention to alignment in specifically chosen poses helps to soften the body’s connective tissues and ease spinal tension. Blocks and bolsters may be used to allow for deeper muscle release.

The style is suitable for beginners and useful for those recovering from injury.

Vinyasa: A challenging style that matches breath to movement. Vinyasa yoga poses incorporate alignment principles and are woven together in a flowing practice that is both intense and dance-like. Translated from Sanskrit, vinyasa means “without obstacle.”

The style is best suited to energetic, physically fit students.

Viniyoga: A transformative, slower and more individualized form of yoga that emphasizes gentle flow and coordinated breath with movement. Viniyoga yoga is holistic in its approach and teaches the student how to apply the yoga tools of poses, chanting, breathing and meditation. Function is stressed over form in this style. Viniyoga is recommended for beginners and seniors, as well as those who are in chronic pain or healing from injury or disease.

Soul Star Clearing

By Tina Marie Daly

W

hat is it that you truly desire in your life? And what is it that is standing in the way of achieving these desires? Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) and the Archangel Ariel can help!

It wasn’t until I became an Integrated Energy Therapy® Master Instructor that I noticed how incredibly healing and transformative the Archangel Ariel’s energy can be. IET Founder Steven Thayer channeled her healing modality and as a result founded the Center of Being in Woodstock, NY, in 1994. IET has now spread to more than 25 countries around the world.

In IET, Ariel is the Archangel who connects us with our eighth chakra, or soul star, the aspect of ourselves that contains the information of all of our lifetimes. When we clear this pathway of obstacles and connect with our soul star, we then uncover our soul’s purpose and mission for our current lifetime. And when we are connected from this “centered” place, we can then begin to attract the perfect opportunities for our growth and development as our pathway or journey is revealed.

When we are fully connected to the eighth chakra, Ariel’s cosmic angelic energy flows through us unblocked and unrestricted, manifesting what it is that we truly want.

We are all purely connected to our soul purpose at birth but somewhere along the way, we “forget” who we are and thus erect and enforce barriers to protect us from the fearful thoughts and beliefs of life.

These barriers then create a separation from this chakra and keep us in the dark from our true purpose. Have you

ever felt that you’re just an arm’s length away from where you want to be? Do you wonder why you are stuck or can’t figure out where to go or what to do next? As Ariel begins to work on you, feel her at the top of your head, her magical and loving energy nurturing you and cleansing the pathway for the energy of the eighth chakra to flow into the seventh (the crown center at the top of your head) and then continue to move until all of the healing energy converges at the heart center. Remain here at your heart center, feeling this divine connection, and hold the vibration of unconditional love.

You will feel lighter, at peace and more alert as Ariel unveils the clues to what your life purpose is — or what your next step is to achieving it.

So whether you want to manifest a divine job, find your soul mate, or enjoy an abundant flow of prosperity, working with Archangel Ariel and being closely connected with your “soul star” will get you there!

Chiropractic Care Help for Common Complaints

by Kathleen Barnes

Diversified: This catch-all term encompasses the short thrust spinal adjustment approach used by an estimated 80 percent of all chiropractors, says Dr. Cynthia Vaughn, an Austin, Texas-based chiropractor and member of the board of governors of the American Chiropractic Association.

It is characterized by what is called the high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust (HVLA), resulting in the popping sound familiar to most people that have experienced chiropractic care. Although the adjustment is painless, some patients instinctively tense their muscles.

“Adjustment is a sneak attack, ‘My reflexes being faster than yours,’” remarks Burns. “The average muscle contracts in about a quarter of a second. We do a lot of speed training so we can do the adjustment in one-tenth of a second.”

Activator: The activator technique, used by about 20 percent of chiropractors as part of an integrated practice, employs a small, spring-loaded, rubbertipped device, slightly larger than a pen, which applies a small amount of force to a specific area. It makes a

“M

ost people visit a chiropractor because they are in pain and seeking relief, although some initially visit for general health,” says Keith Overland, president of the American Chiropractic Association and a practicing chiropractic physician in Norwalk, Connecticut. “Every doctor of chiropractic should first perform a complete and thorough exam and develop a diagnosis to determine the best approach to the patient’s condition.”

Rick Burns, a doctor of chiropractic and professor of chiropractic technique at Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa, notes that more than 100 techniques and endless permutations of adjustments and thrusts can be used to help bring the body back into alignment and health. “Most chiropractors integrate several methods, depending on the needs of the patient,” he says.

While chiropractors undergo four years of post-graduate training, like medical doctors, they specialize in, “…making certain the brain communicates 100 percent of the time through the spinal cord to the nerves,” explains Burns. Miscommunication between the brain and the nerves caused by spinal misalignments, called subluxations, are at the heart of the science of chiropractic adjustment.

Most chiropractic schools give students a basic toolbox of techniques before individual practitioners go on to obtain certification in advanced techniques; much like medical specializations, says Overland. His specialties include treating sports injuries and he has many Olympic athletes as patients. natural awakenings

stapler-like sound and the recipient usually feels only slight pressure.

“Not everybody can tolerate the more aggressive manipulation that is performed as a foundation in chiropractic, especially elderly people or very young children,” says Overland. “The activator technique claims to be faster, more specific and less forceful than manual adjustment.”

Applied kinesiology: Also known as muscle testing, applied kinesiology evaluates muscle strength at various specific points to help determine if a specific type of adjustment or even a nutritional supplement might be helpful to an individual patient as a treatment. This individualized treatment is popular among chiropractors and their patients. “It is a way to glean a tremendous amount of diagnostic information to specifically tell where the subluxations (imbalances) are,” says Vaughn, “and is used by about 20 percent of chiropractors.”

Sacro-occipital technique (SOT): Another form of non-forceful adjustment, SOT usually involves having the patient lie face down on a table. Inserting a variety of wedges asymmetrically distributed under the pelvis creates a helpful torque.

“Gravity causes the adjustment to happen very subtly in about 10 minutes,” explains Vaughn. “It is effective for the elderly and people with osteoporosis that can’t tolerate more vigorous adjustments.”

Gonstead: Similar to the HVLA technique, a Gonstead approach pays particular attention to the lower spine and the effects of its misalignments on the rest of the body. These practitioners generally prefer to adjust the neck with the patient in a sitting position.

“Who is Looking for an Answer to Awful Headaches and Migraines?”

Dear Friend, Every day, people come to see me looking for an answer to those agonizing headaches they’ve endured for years. Many have been to several doctors, tried several drugs, and have had very expensive tests.

My patient, Roseann, had migraine headaches since first grade. She’d been to generalists, specialists, had CAT scans, MRI’s, and been on some powerful medications . . . all of which didn’t help. She suffered for 20 years. Another patient, Aggie, just went three weeks without a migraine for the first time in years (she hadn’t gone longer than a few days without one). All that suffering, when the answer was just removing nerve pressure in their spines. Their cases are not unusual at all.

“This month I’m reaching out to people with headaches.” It bothers me that many have been told there is no answer for them, when perhaps there is. No doctor can guarantee a cure; however, chiropractic care has been shown to help countless people.

And, it’s not just migraines and headaches. I’m blessed to help people with chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

I often see people who’ve come to me as a “last resort.” As a chiropractor, I do things differently. I’m not going to give you medications to cover up symptoms because my job is to get to the root cause of the health problems.

You need to know that I don’t “cure” anyone. Your body is designed to always strive to heal itself. Sometimes, nerve interference gets in the way of that inborn striving towards health. What I do is remove nerve pressure, and allow the body to heal itself. I’m not a miracle worker; your body is the real miracle. Although all people respond differently to care, most people who see a chiropractor are satisfied.

Thanks, and God Bless. Fred Rossi, D.C. Bring in this article by October 31st and I’ll give you a new patient exam for $67 with x-rays, paraspinal thermal imaging . . . the whole thing ($260 value). Further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that we have family plans.

You can call me, or Maya, at ROSSI FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC. We can help you.

P.S. If another member of your family or a good friend wants to come in with you for this exam, we’ll do that second exam for $27.

THERAPIES TO ALLEVIATE

Waking up with a stiff neck or shoulder or back pain sends 20 million Americans to the chiropractor each year. ~ American Chiropractic Association

More than half of all chiropractors use some form of the Gonstead technique. It involves detailed structural analysis of the spine, which can include various types of palpitation, nervoscope analysis of heat and nerve pressure along the spine, and X-rays.

“All of these techniques require extensive education and thousands of hours of training,” concludes Overland.

Adds Burns, “Each patient is evaluated and diagnosed individually. So try different techniques and see what works for you. The goal is to unlock the body’s ability to heal itself.”

Follow the Lifecycle

Crunching the Numbers on Products We Consume

by Brita Belli

E

very product we use has a lifecycle, or duration of environmental impact. According to the State of the World 2012: Transforming Cultures from Consumerism to Sustainability, by the Worldwatch Institute, humans collectively are consuming resources equivalent to 1.5 Earths, or 50 percent more than is sustainable—and that’s before projected population growth. In short, we’re depleting more resources than the planet can replenish; hence, our personal consumption habits matter.

In an ideal world, all the appliances, furniture and electronics we use and later discard would be “cradle-to-cradle,” or C2C, certified, a term popularized by German chemist Michael Braungart and American Architect William McDonough for describing products designed never to become waste. Such innovative products typically are made of both technical components that can be reused and biological components that decompose back into the natural world.

Current examples of products that have obtained C2C certification include gDiapers—biodegradable cloth diaper liners that can be flushed or composted—and Greenweave recycled fabrics. But smart, sustainable design is not yet the norm, so we have to monitor our own consumption and waste habits to try limiting our support of polluting industries and contribution to ever-growing landfills.

Such product assessments are challenging, because it’s not only about what happens after a cell phone,

To help us sort out the best approaches, The Green Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University has created the online Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) that crunches the numbers for commonly used products—from household cleaners to mattresses—to provide us with the bigger-picture impact. So, as their website explains, “The effect of producing an automobile would include not only the impacts at the final assembly facility, but

also the impact from mining metal ores, making electronic parts, forming windows, etc., that are needed for parts to build the car.”

The accompanying chart, using the latest available EIO-LCA figures, provides comparisons for some common products—from the most to the least energy-intensive—as well as recycling rates and suggested alternatives for keeping our own resource usage and waste load to a minimum.

Grilled Tofu and Pepper Tacos

Global Flavors

New Ethnic Vegetarian Recipes Rock Taste Buds

by Judith Fertig

Celebrating Vegetarian Awareness Month, Natural Awakenings visits the continuing evolutions of vegetarian eating habits and leading cookbooks.

ncient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets, but vegetarian cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon.

The genre debuted nationally in 1977 with Mollie Katzen’s groundbreaking classic, the first Moosewood Cookbook, sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective coop in Ithaca, New York. Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat, by Health magazine, she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows.

When Katzen first took up the cause, vegetarian cooking was earnest, if earthy, relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice, mushrooms and tofu. The options were limited for those that didn’t capitalize on a home garden or live in a cosmopolitan city.

Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1970s, cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembers…“when vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercy.” Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy, not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure.

In 1981, an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffrey’s World of the East: Vegetarian Cooking. Still, without an Asian

market nearby, hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes.

By 1990, Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way, which upped the quotient of colorful foods inspired by classic French cuisine. She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous.

Today’s latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooks’ burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines, home gardening and farmers’ markets as well as meatless meals. Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious: A Flavor Revolution, with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes. From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook, he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful, globally influenced recipes at Herbivoracious.com.

Why Vegetarian, Why Now?

“Because vegetarian meals are good for you, tread more lightly on our planet’s resources and are kinder to animals,” Natkin responds.

“The planet isn’t designed to support billions of meat-eaters. Plus, many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculture—think of industrial hog farms, for instance, which can be environmental nightmares. If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards, it’s more expensive,” he says. “Even if you eat meatless only now and again, it’s better for the family budget, your health and the planet.”

Natkin is well aware of the “dark days for vegetables,” when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport. Now, due to rising demand, more are grown for flavor, advises Natkin, and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular.

Natkin further suggests, “If you want a sustainable diet, it must include foods that you like, not foods that you think you should like. They have to taste good, otherwise you won’t stick with it.”

Natkin’s cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India, Iran, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. His

Grilled Tofu and Pepper Tacos

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes.

Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos “The secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting textures,” says food blogger Michael Natkin. “These tacos—filled with grilled tofu and sautéed peppers, all basted with tangy achiote paste—have serious street-food flavor.

They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bites.”

Achiote, made from annatto seeds, is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products. Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because it’s free of synthetic food coloring.

Fillings

1½ oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto) ½ cup vegetable oil 1 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp Tapatío or other bottled hot sauce 1 tsp kosher salt 10 oz extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/3-inch slabs and patted dry 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch slabs 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 red bell peppers, cut into ¼-inch strips 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into ¼-inch strips Fresh lemon or lime juice (optional)

24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas

Taco Toppers

Guacamole Choice of salsa 1. Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil, a little at a time, until it forms a lumpy paste. Mix in the cumin, hot sauce and salt.

2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill, oiled-side-down, until well-marked. Then do the same on the other side.

3. Repeat with the zucchini, brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender, about 3 minutes per side. Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 1 /3-inch diced pieces.

4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil.

Add the onion, garlic and bell peppers and sauté until very soft.

5. Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning. It may need more salt, a little lime or lemon juice, or more heat.

6. To serve, wrap the tortillas in a damp, clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm, about 2 minutes.

7. Make stacks of 2 tortillas each. Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa. Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that… the great majority of Americans would rather be considered healthy, rather than wealthy.” ~ Mike Weisman, president, The Values Institute at DGWB special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures. From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos, Natkin coaxes the most flavor out of his ingredients—from cooking pasta in red wine, making “meaty” soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt.

“The least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort food,” he notes.

He always encourages cooks to think creatively, not literally, when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent. Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving, for example, he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering, saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way.

Growing Trend

According to a national 2012 Harris Poll, 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week. The Values Institute of DGWB, an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana, California, confirms the rise of flexitarianism, or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely, as one of the top trends of 2012.

Finally, New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks, “When I ask audiences I speak to, ‘How many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years ago?’ at least two-thirds raise their hands. A self-selecting group to be sure, but nevertheless, one that exists. In fact, let’s ask this: Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used to?”

Black Bean Soup with Orange-Jalapeño Salsa Vegan and gluten-free soup in 30 minutes.

Serves 6 “I developed this black bean soup so that it would satisfy those that prefer mild dishes, including kids, as well as those that prefer a bolder spice. The soup is straightforward, with a bright and intense orange and jalapeño salsa on the side,” advises cookbook author Michael Natkin. “Pass grated cheddar cheese for those that prefer to think of it as vegetarian chili.”

2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and a big pinch of salt, and sauté until the vegetables start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, cumin and smoked paprika, if using, and cook for 1 minute more.

Remove from heat.

Soup

6 cups cooked black beans, cooking liquid reserved, or 4 (15-oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained 2 bay leaves Vegetable broth powder (gluten-free is optional) 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 white onion, diced 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced 4 garlic cloves, minced Kosher salt 1 Tbsp dried oregano 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp (or more) smoked paprika (optional)

3. Pluck the bay leaves out of the beans.

Stir the onion mixture into the simmering beans. Remove the soup from the heat and lightly purée, using a stick blender, blender or potato masher. (A 75 percent purée leaves significant texture.)

4. Return the soup pot to the heat. Add more water as needed to produce a soup that’s moderately thick, but thinner than a stew. Taste and adjust the seasoning. It will likely need salt unless the cook used pre-salted canned beans.

Add more cumin or smoked paprika to taste. Simmer at least 10 to 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Salsa

6 fresh mandarin oranges (or fewer, larger oranges) ¼ cup finely diced red onion 1 jalapeño pepper (or more to taste), thinly sliced ¼ tsp kosher salt 1 handful fresh cilantro leaves

5. For the salsa, cut the oranges into sections and then cubes. Mix with the red onion, jalapeño pepper and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in the cilantro immediately before serving.

Serving Topper

Mexican crema or sour cream (vegan option is sour cream or avocado slices) 1. Place the beans and bay leaves in a 6-quart pot. Add enough reserved cooking liquid or water (option to include vegetable broth powder based on the manufacturer’s recommended amount for four cups of broth) to barely cover the beans. Simmer.

6. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and either top with 3 tablespoons of the salsa and some crema, or pass the salsa and crema at the table.

All Together Now

CHILDREN FOLLOW ADULT EXAMPLES Enabling “We” Instead of “Me”

by Michael Ungar

“If you want to be miserable, think about yourself.

If you want to be happy, think of others.” ~ Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

T

he phrase “connected kids” may describe youth consumed by Internet-dependent relationships.

Yet these same young people still crave old-fashioned, face-to-face connections with the adults in their lives. With one parent or two, stepparents, a grandparent, aunts or uncles, older family friends, teachers and coaches—experience shows they all can help guide our children by showing the compassion that nurtures kids’ own caring instincts.

Swedish futurist and author Mats Lindgren characterizes these young people, raised by the “Me Generation” (born in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s), The MeWe Generation, for their efforts to balance a culture of individualism and their need to belong. He notes, “Although the MeWes travel and experience more than

any other generation before them, [in surveys] the small things in life still get the highest scores. A happy life is based on relations and companionship.”

Family life, for better or worse, establishes the way children connect with

The cycle we want to start at home encompasses compassion, connection, responsibility and citizenship. The alternative is selfishness, alienation, exploitation and disenfranchisement; terms we hope will not apply to our children.

If we want children to embody healthy and positive qualities and play an important role in family life and beyond, we need to understand how to enable kids to think “We” by outgrowing some of our own Me-thinking ways.

To start, it helps to understand that when we ask nothing of our children— keep them from experiencing larger challenges and taking real responsibility for themselves and others—we risk spoiling them. Children that instead see and experience We-oriented caring for others and regularly participate in compassionate acts feel more attached to a community of family and friends.

A child that feels noticed and embraced, and is then given opportunities to act independently of his parents, also will know what it means to be trusted. Parents convey, “I know you can do this.”

A youngster that experiences this compassionate caring and trust will mimic such compassion, because it feels good to give and he wants others to acknowledge his worth. Also, having been allowed to suffer the consequences of some bad personal decisions (up to a point), he understands that his choices

affect both himself and others. Given the opportunity to think things through for himself, he can make helpful choices instead of feeling forced to either resist or give in to what adults want. He knows how to show respect because he knows what it feels like to be respected.

Acting responsibly follows naturally as a way to identify with others and demonstrate the strength of his connections and contributions to the welfare of others. It sews a child into the fabric of his family and community, which responds, “You are a part of us. You belong and we rely on you.” The child quietly says to himself, “I’m here” and “I count.”

Listen closely and we will hear children asking permission to live their lives truly connected with us and with their widening circles of friends around the world.

The Four Qualities of a True Statesman

by Brett and Kate McKay

What qualities should citizens look for in the next leader of the free world? What core criteria might voters consistently use to evaluate any legislative or other candidate running for political office?

P

rofessor J. Rufus Fears, Ph.D., sets a high standard in articulating the yardstick by which we should measure leaders of either gender. As a noted scholar specializing in the history of freedom (Tinyurl.com/TrueStatesman), he emphasizes that the role of a politician and a statesman are not the same.

A statesman, Fears attests, is a free leader of a free people and must possess four essential qualities.

is so and does everything in his power to fight against it. When something is right, he is willing to overcome any opposition to preserve and spread it.

The statesman is ambitious—he must be to obtain a position of power— but there are things he simply will and will not do to get to the top. He is a man of integrity; he speaks the truth.

He leads by moral authority and represents all that is best in his countrymen.

A Bedrock of Principles

A Vision

The statesman builds a platform on a foundation of firm, unchanging, fundamental truths that he believes at his very core comprises his overarching philosophy. In the face of changing times, opposition and challenges, this foundation will remain intact. A statesman may change the details of his policies and his methods, but only inasmuch as expedient tactics serve to further his bedrock principles in the long run.

A Moral Compass

A statesman does not govern by public opinion polls, but instead makes decisions by following his own moral compass that is rooted in a sense of absolute right and absolute wrong. He is not a relativist. When he believes something is wrong, he plainly says it

A statesman has a clear vision of what his country and his people can become. He knows where he wants to take them and what it will take to get there. Foresight is one of his most important qualities, because he must be able to recognize problems on the horizon and find solutions good for both the short term and long term. The statesman keeps in mind not only the here and now, but the world that future generations will inherit.

The Ability to Build a Consensus to Achieve that Vision

change policies, laws and the course of history will largely be in vain.

In enlisting others in government that serve with him to support his initiatives, he knows that their willingness to do so is based on the pressure they feel from their constituents to align themselves with the statesman’s vision. Thus, success ultimately hinges on his ability to convince his country’s citizens of the soundness of his philosophy.

To win their hearts, the statesman shuns media campaigns and instead harnesses the power of the written, and especially the spoken, word; he is a master orator. His lifelong study of great books and the lessons of history allow him to speak to the people with intelligent, potent, well-reasoned arguments.

Instead of tailoring his rhetoric to the public mood, he speaks to the very best that exists within people, understanding that powerful rhetoric can articulate, bring forth and activate sometimes deeply buried ideals. His authority derives from his belief in what he says. He does not make emotions soar and burn with empty promises, but instead keeps his word and does what he says he will do.

Based on a professional lifetime of research, Fears believes that the three greatest statesmen in history are Pericles, of Athens, Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. Their bedrock principles rested on the ideals of freedom: democratic liberty, equality under the law and individual freedom—the freedom to live as we choose. Each embraced a vision of expanding liberty for citizens, yet all courted controversy in some of the measures they deemed necessary to achieve their vision.

In Fears’ estimation, the ultimate measuring rod of any true statesman and what matters most is that their leadership ultimately led to more freedom for more people in the long run.

Here’s what people are saying about Natural Awakenings’ Detoxified Iodine “I’ve had symptoms of hypothyroidism for years. I’ve been taking a prescribed medication given to me by my medical doctor. I’ve been taking this detoxified iodine for a few weeks now. I noticed very quickly having more energy, improved mental clarity and feeling more positive.”

LL in Florida “I started taking the drops years ago when my thyroid levels were out of whack and they are now in the ideal range. So I’m a fan!”

MB in Connecticut “In the first 5 days, what I am so excited about is my nails. For the past couple of years my nails have been weak, brittle and unhealthy after chemo treatments 10 years ago. After 5 days I actually noticed how much improved they are. I am very excited how this works because the majority of my family has hypothyroid (hashimoto’s).”

NEVER BE WITHOUT TEETH, INCLUDING IMPLANTS Patients travel from around the country to Denville, in search of the perfect smile.

Denville is famous for its medical community. So, it’s no surprise that a perfect smile is a must have item in this friendly town.

Hand crafting those smiles is the life work of Dr. Steiner and Dr. Fine. Our office’s reputation has spread so far that we now treat patients from around the world; often doing more smile makeovers in a single month that some dentists do in a lifetime.

We also offer an amazing alternative for those living with missing teeth. This dramatic advancement in the field of dental implantology now makes it possible for many patients to switch from dentures to permanent implant supported teeth in only a few hours. This new approach can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouth. Patients leave the office after just one appointment with a beautiful and strong smile. Discomfort is so minimal that most patients eat a light meal that evening.

Upon entering our front door you will immediately know that this is no ordinary dental office, because that’s what most people say upon seeing it for the first time. Among our practice’s notable patients are actresses, actors, astronauts, models and TV personalities. However most of the doctor’s patients are everyday people who just want to look their best.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski have focused their practice on those areas about which they are highly passionate.

(After all you wouldn’t ask your family doctor to do heart surgery.) Those areas are Cosmetic Dentistry. Trained at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies, they have devoted over fifty combined years to perfecting their skills and have placed over 23,000 cosmetic restorations. Our main focus is on cosmetic and full mouth reconstruction cases. This includes Implant Dentistry and Neuromuscular Orthodontics, which can avoid unecessary removal of teeth. Many people do not realize that dental problems may be the cause of headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain, noisy jaw joints and pains in the TMJ. Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski pride themselves in having Morris County’s premier head, neck and jaw pain relief center.

Our office also offers a “limited warranty” that provides free repair or replacement of restorative dental work, when a patient’s regular hygiene visits are maintained. This kind of security could only be offered by truly World Class Dentists. This is why our motto is: “Experienced professionals make the difference.”
