Lifelong Community Institute Winter/Spring 2014

J

oin us at the Delray Beach Public Library, 100 West Atlantic Avenue in beautiful downtown Delray Beach, for the Winter/Spring 2014 semester of the Lifelong Learning Community Institute. With plenty of free parking, small class sizes, university instructors and reasonable prices you will find a class that fits every interest at the Library. Subjects range from: Total Brain Workout, Counter Intuitive History, Sing a Song of Protest, Exploring Philosophy through Films, Exotic Classical Music, Exploring the Middle East Crises, Popular Jewish Composers, The Tudors, New Yorker Short Stories, Poetry of Bryant, Emerson & Whitman and Storytelling. Classes are 1 ½ hours in length and are 3 sessions for $45 and 4 sessions for $50 mornings, afternoons and evenings.

“The Exotic Influence On Classical Music”

Course Instructor: Dr. Thomas McKinley MONDAYS, Dates: Feb. 24, Mar. 3, 10 Time: 2- 3:30 p.m. Fee: 3 sessions = $45

Western culture and arts have long had a fascination with foreign lands. In classical music this began as early as the Classical Period with the use of percussion instruments “borrowed” from the Turkish Janissary band, throughout the Romantic period with the “Moorish” sounds of Spain, and at the dawn of the modern era Asian music. This class will introduce participants to some of the great composers and works of the classical musical tradition; increase appreciation of this type of music by pointing out some of its’ influences; and learn about the concept of “Exoticism” which can be found in the vibrant music of the post-modern era. (Live piano performances will be a part of this class.)

“A Look At Transcendental Poetry: The Work Of Bryant, Emerson & Whitman”

Course Instructors: Dr. Jeffrey Morgan TUESDAYS, Dates: Mar. 25, Apr. 1, 8 Time: 2-3:30 p.m Fee: 3 sessions = $45

After establishing what might be meant by the word “Transcendentalism,” this class will explore classic American poetry that has fallen under that heading. Focusing on three poets, the class will first read and discuss the early transcendental poetry of William Cullen Bryant, followed by reading and discussion of poetry from the most renowned voice of American Transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson. We will close with an examination of Walt Whitman’s’ poetry and how his verse advances this romantic philosophy.

Saturday, February 22, 2014 ~ Embassy Suites, Boca Raton

Generations of Psychics…

As a 6th Generation Psychic Intuitive, many people over the years asked me what it was like growing up with psychics and mediums. I explain it is the same as other families, except there are not many secrets you can hide!

Two months ago while having dinner with friends and family, my Psychic Aunt Joan began sharing a message with my friend Karen about her deceased mother who had passed a couple of months prior.

While Karen began crying with excitement, my Grandmother asked Karen to pass the

bread. You see we are like other families, but at our dinner table, we have deceased loved ones joining us too. One thing for sure, my family is far from being dull!

Although my family has embraced their natural gifts, I did not until 10 years ago after a life-threatening illness. Once I learned how to heal myself, my intuition ignited to a new level.

Today I enjoy and am proud to connect, share knowledge, and work with my psychic family, as to previous years I would call them the “psycho” family. All kidding aside, everyone we meet loves my psychic

Soul Healing Miracles to Transform Your Life with Master Ellen

tarting on March 7, 2014 John D. MacArthur Beach State Park will host Florida Hall of Fame Artist, James Hutchinson for an art show and sale. Hutchinson’s original paintings can be viewed in the Park’s Nature Center daily from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m until March 31, 2014. Hutchinson will also be speaking about his life and career at the Park’s annual NatureScaping event on March 15 at 1:00 p.m.

James Hutchinson began his lifelong devotion to the arts after receiving his first commission in 1948. Much of his time was spent studying the people and the beauty of Florida’s natural surroundings, including living with the Seminole Indian Tribe for six years. As a result of his intimate understanding of the people and places of Florida, he was chosen to represent the State of Florida during the World’s Fair in New York City in 1965. After the World’s Fair, his reputation spread throughout the country earning him collectors in all fifty states and throughout the world. In March 2011, Hutchinson was inducted into the Florida Artist Hall of Fame.

“We are very excited and honored to host Mr. Hutchinson’s beautiful collection,” says Cheryl Houghtelin, Executive Director of the Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park.

“Proceeds from all paintings sold will go towards our Natural Science Education Fund, educating future generations by providing them the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate our natural world” she adds.

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, Palm Beach County’s only state park, is situated on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon. The Park is made up of 438 acres of pristine coastal land and contains four different communities or habitats including seven species of plants and twenty-two species of animals on the endangered or threatened list. MacArthur Beach is truly an “Island in Time.

newsbriefs Gray Mockingbird Community Garden in Lake Worth Continues to Grow!

T

wo years is a short period of time in garden-language, but Lake Worth’s Gray Mockingbird Community Garden is teeming with success and ready to salute its winter harvest with a “Local Foods Local Gardens” celebration. Spearheaded by Brian Kirsch and his team of volunteers, their mission is to provide an environment where the community gathers to share information about sustainable living practices.

This year, The Gray Mockingbird has aligned itself with Eco Art South Florida and the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple to create an EcoArt project for their destination garden. The artwork includes a mural of hand painted tiles, created by the many residents of Lake Worth, and it serves as a reminder to all who visit and work the garden space of the land’s mission of promoting sustainable gardening practices. Being unveiled to the public on Sunday, February 16, by Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo, the 1:00 PM ribbon cutting is open to the public. Following the ribbon cutting is the garden’s open house. Working in tandem with its community partner, Urban Gardeners, the third “Local Foods Local Gardens” features local growers, farmers and producers as they demonstrate creative ways of growing sustainable foods. Live musicians, samples of locally brewed beer, a petting zoo, and food products sourced from local farms will be featured.

Appearing for the first time is Guest Chef Penelope Lewis, who is based in Abergavenny, Wales (UK) and numbers the royal family, including the Queen and Prince Philip, as her culinary customers. Her anecdotes about cooking for the royal family are entertaining as she displays her in-demand kitchen techniques. Her enthusiasm for locally sourced food is evident in her demonstrations, and she’s eager to share her knowledge of how to prepare a meal “fit for a Queen.” A small charge will be collected at the door for this special event.

Another inaugural event is the Garden’s “Top Local Chef Trainee” competition, where new chefs compete by preparing a dish using locally grown and sourced foods. Chef Brian Shulyer of The Breakers, Welsh “Royal” Chef Penelope Lewis and Chef / Master Gardener Michael Heckart of Gray Mockingbird will judge the competition.

The Gray Mockingbird Garden offers its harvest to halfway houses, shelters, and food banks, in an effort to assist in feeding the hungry of Palm Beach County. It also supplies food to local restaurants, helping to provide funds for the upkeep of the grounds while serving to build public awareness about eating locally.

Garden members can get a small plot for their own garden project and classes are available in gardening techniques. For more information call 561-246-0148.

newsbriefs Understanding Anxiety and Focus Issues for Highly Sensitive Children

A

nxiety is a normal part of childhood, and every child goes through phases.

A phase is temporary and usually harmless.

But children who suffer from an anxiety disorder experience fear, nervousness and shyness, and they start to avoid places and activities. Anxiety disorders (AD) affect one in eight children and often co-occur with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with symptoms like difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, or hyperactivity. Research shows that untreated children with AD and ADHD are at higher risk to perform poorly in school, miss out on important social experiences, and engage in substance abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs such as SSRIs and stimulants can be used to control symptoms of anxiety and focus, however, all medications are symptom-based drugs with side effects. To understand the root issues for AD and ADHD becomes important in searching for a long term solution for these children to live a normal childhood.

Highly Sensitive Children According to Dr. Elaine Aron, a highly sensitive child (HSC) is one of the 15 to 20 percent of children born with a nervous system that is highly aware and quick to react to everything. This makes them quick to grasp subtle changes, prefer to reflect deeply before acting, and generally behave conscientiously. They are also easily overwhelmed by high levels of stimulation, sudden changes, and the emotional distress of others. Your

child is probably a HSC if he/she: Complains about scratchy clothing, seams in socks, or labels against his/her skin Is sensitive to sounds, smells and textures Learns better from a gentle correction than strong punishment Is hard to get to sleep after an exciting day Doesn’t do well with big changes Notices the distress of others Is a perfectionist Performs best when strangers aren’t present Feels things deeply Because of their highly sensitive traits and easily stressed and overwhelmed nervous systems, HSC are vulnerable to develop anxiety and focus problems. As a matter of fact, most of the children with anxiety and focus issues belong to this group. To understand the highly sensitive traits and the root causes for anxiety and focus issues helps HSC manage their lives better and possibly prevents them from development into AD or ADHD. Neurotransmitter Imbalance Neurotransmitters are messenger chemicals in the brain. There are two types of neurotransmitters, excitatory ones such as dopamine and norepinephrine, and inhibitory ones such as serotonin and GABA. Anxiety and focus issues are the direct result of the imbalance of the neurotransmitters.

From a holistic point of view, to balance neurotransmitters we should look at the problem beyond neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are synthesized

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

from amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which are absorbed in the digestive system. Serotonin production occurs mainly inside our gut, the so called brain-gut connection. Supplementation of specific amino acids may help the body produce more corresponding neurotransmitters, but the results may not last. A healthy digestive tract is the basis for balancing neurotransmitters in the brain.

The Brain-Gut Connection Many children with anxiety and focus issues also have digestive problems. Stress and toxin factors from modern lifestyles cause weakened digestive systems and compromised immune function. Overgrowth of Candida yeast, bad bacteria and parasites in the digestive tract results in damage to the lymphatic tissue and receptors on the intestinal lining, and further leads to food indigestion and malabsorption of nutrients such as amino acids. Thus, solving digestive issues, such as balancing microbial and repairing intestinal lining becomes the number one goal for neurotransmitterrelated conditions.

The other pathway of the brain-gut connection is through food sensitivity, which is a neurogenic response and different from allergies. You may not have antibodies to particular food but still respond to it neurologically. This type of reaction belongs to neuroinflammatory response that triggers psychological and behavioral changes in children. Common foods that cause reactions include sugar, food coloring and preservatives, gluten (wheat) and casein (dairy).

Thus, dietary changes and desensitization of food and nutrients become important steps in helping anxiety and focus problems.

Adrenal Stress and Lifestyle Changes Busy schedules, lack of sleep and overexposure to electronic frequencies stress our adrenal system too much and result in sympathetic dominant status and excessive

excitatory neurotransmitters in the system. This is the basis for the anxiety and hyperactivity. Longterm stress to the adrenal system results in adrenal fatigue, a deeper issue that greatly affects the body’s healing ability. Helping adrenal function is crucial to heal any type of illness, especially for anxiety and focus issues, because a weakened adrenal function makes hypersensitivity even worse. A hypersensitive nervous system results in more adrenal stress that creates a vicious cycle.

A comprehensive adrenal program plus lifestyle changes, including sufficient sleep, relaxation, and avoiding electronics are necessary in helping anxiety and focus problems.

Neurotoxins and Liver Detox Function Neurotoxins such as heavy metal may also play a role in developing anxiety and focus problems.

Mercury is known to have an affinity to nervous tissue and causes damage to the receptors, which leads to chaos in signal transduction between neurons and high neuroinflammation. Thus, detoxification therapy is also important. In addition, liver is the main detox organ in the body. It helps not only detox the toxins but also detox excess hormones and neurotransmitters in the system.

Stresses always weaken liver detox function and result in toxin accumulation and imbalance of hormones and neurotransmitters. Supporting liver function and detoxifying the body are necessary steps in balancing neurotransmitters.

In summary, anxiety and focus issues are multi-factor illnesses that require a holistic approach to addressing the root issues. Medications and amino acid therapy to support inhibitory neurotransmitters such as serotonin may help the symptoms temporarily. For a long-term solution, addressing digestive issues, adrenal stress, hypersensitive nervous response, immune response due to food sensitivities, emotional stress and toxin accumulation as well as lifestyle changes are necessary components in a holistic healing program. Once the root causes are corrected, HSC will get their life back without having to rely on medications for the rest of their days.

newsbriefs “We Got The Beet!” Juicebuzz, A Boutique Juice Bar Featuring Cold-Pressed, Organic Juices

A

consummate supporter of healthy lifestyle options--JuiceBuzz embraces February as Heart Healthy month and introduces “beet-tastic” beverages. Owner Jacqueline Pfeffer-Sheridan and her team of “beet baristas” have served up “Just Beet it” –a lively concoction featuring Apple, Carrot, Celery, Beet Root, Cucumber and Ginger. And, “Give us a Beet”, including vibrant ingredients of Carrot, Orange, Apple, Beet Root and Lemon.

The “juicetenders” continue to impress and inspire with signature drinks that contain an abundance of vitamins, minerals and enzymes to purify your body from the inside - out. Beetroot juice stands among the most heart-healthy juices. Approximately 17 ounces of beetroot juice per day significantly reduces blood pressure, according to a 2008 study from the London School of Medicine and the William Harvey Research Center at Barts. The high nitrate content of beetroot juice, which actually widens the blood vessels when it enters the body as nitrite, lowers blood pressure within one hour of ingestion.

Surpassing the health kick trend, juicing holds amazing power to boost health and vitality and provides a cornucopia of wellness benefits. Being organic isn’t the only benefit, the cold-press process maintains nutrients to balance pH and sugar levels, boost the immune system, detox the body, increase mental clarity, aid digestion, clear skin, and help with weight loss regimens. JuiceBuzz continues to quench the palate and imagination with innovative, delicious and healthy juices and smoothies. Be inspired, meet and mingle with the “juice tenders” and be invigorated with juice-tastic energy.

The artsy, foodie and eclectic Atlantic Avenue in Delray is an idyllic location where visitors and locals can enjoy sip, stroll and savor the body-beautiful beverages -- day or evening. Cheers!

newsbriefs Bring More Joy to Your Relationships with Compassionate Communication… 5 Ways for Getting Started Now!

C

ompassionate Communication...

“Hmmm…What is that? This is how I interpret the silence that follows when I tell people that I practice and teach this. I understand the momentary confusion: we know what it means to be compassionate and we know what communication means, but the words often are not heard together.

“I suppose it’s about speaking kindly to one another,” someone might say. Well, yes, Compassionate Communication (CC)—which is based on Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—is a very powerful method for understanding ourselves and others and using words that connect rather than alienate, but it goes far beyond this. CC is a new way of thinking and being and living in the world that actually dissolves the illusion of “other,” which is created and held in place by judgmental, fear-based thoughts. Its purpose is to inspire heartfelt connections between ourselves and others—connections that allow more of our needs to be met through compassionate giving. The result is significantly greater joy, aliveness, harmony and peace in life, including in our relationships.

Using Compassionate Communication to Resolve Conflict If you are experiencing difficulties in relationships, I can assure you that you are not alone! Not only is this bound to be the case but it is a necessary part of our evolution in consciousness. (I refer you to teachings from Eckhart Tolle and other related masters on this second point.) Regarding the first point, however, it is incredibly important to acknowledge that we have not been taught how to communicate and act lovingly and compassionately. Instead, most of us have been educated to compete, judge, demand, diagnose, and to think in terms of “right” and “wrong” about people and situations.

These habitual ways of relating create fear, confusion, misunderstanding and frustration in us as well as separation from others, and block us from deeper, more satisfying connections.

How do we overcome this? Well, according to Marshall there are three steps: the first step is spiritual clarity, which essentially means that we must be highly conscious of how we wish to interact with ourselves and others, and to “be” in the world. If we truly desire to be more loving and understanding in our actions and communications, we will find the support that we need to do this.

The second step is to gain the skills that you need.

The issue of knowhow can be easily remedied by taking CC classes, which I offer locally, or by reading books on the subject from Marshall and other practitioners. (Visit www.cnvc.org for more information.) Thirdly, once you have some knowledge of the work, practice, practice, and practice until your new habits are formed!

Attending my practice groups can be helpful in anchoring the CC principles and for obtaining support and empathy during the learning process.

Esteemed writer George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

I smile when I read this quote because it so clearly and concisely states our dilemma. So, I ask (as if the whole of humanity can hear me): Are we willing to really listen intently to one another…to find the courage to speak with kindness and compassion…to relate deeply to our pains and joys and respond as if we have nothing to lose or protect, with the gentleness of true comrades and friends, and as fellow human beings in service to a more hopeful, loving and peaceful planet?

This is one of the prayers in my heart, and if it is one that you have, too, here are some tips for getting started!

5 Ways to Start Using Compassionate Communication Now 1. Use “I” statements instead of “You” statements. This is an obvious first but important step. When we adopt this way of thinking and speaking we are moving mountains! As a culture, we are trained to blame others for our situations and circumstances. If you desire true personal power, you will hear yourself saying things like: I notice…I feel…I think I would prefer this…I’m not sure what they meant when they said that, I would like to find out…

2. Release the need to judge yourself and others! Beyond food, water, clothing and shelter, you (and all human beings) have needs— needs such as belonging, acceptance, security, purpose and love (to name a few). The satisfaction of these needs adds to the quality of our lives. When we recognize this, we can see that our actions and words are in service to these needs, no matter how unskillful they may be at times. So build compassion by consistently asking: What need am I (or is this person) attempting to satisfy with these actions? Rather than asking: What’s wrong with me/you? (Visit my

3. Stick to the facts; resist the urge to make assumptions, interpretations, or create stories.

When you encounter a challenging behavior in yourself or another person, speak about this behavior factually, in terms of what you actually see or saw, hear or heard, not what you think a behavior means. Examples: I notice that you got a ‘C’ on your exam, NOT: I think if you had studied more you would have gotten a better grade. OR: I notice that you didn’t call me last night when you said you would, NOT: You never do what you say you are going to do. Facts are empowering; assumptions, interpretations and stories create disharmony (at best) and foster retaliation and even violence.

4. Take responsibility for your feelings. It is a common misconception that others cause our feelings by what they say or do. You will often hear statements like: He hurt me, or She disappointed me.

In reality, the cause of our feelings is linked to met or unmet needs. When we feel sadness, hurt, or annoyance, for example, important needs aren’t being met in a situation. When we feel happiness, contentment, joyfulness, on the other hand, it means that some needs are being met. Misplaced ownership of feelings is extremely disempowering for everyone; it reinforces the illusion that others are responsible for our emotional well-being and can keep us locked in debilitating cycles of grief, guilt, depression and inaction. Build the courage and skill to be able to say: I feel [fill in the blank] because my need for [fill in the blank] is or is not being met.

5. Believe in your divinity. For thousands of years, we have believed that we are deeply flawed.

Sadly, our actions have followed. From what the masters and sages say, we couldn’t be more mistaken about our identity. If we practice seeing and believing in our loving, divine nature we will adopt new ways of relating. We will begin to have space to truly be with one another…to sit, to listen, to cry and to laugh, and to celebrate the joyfulness of becoming fully human, divinity and all.

newsbriefs Safe, Natural Pain Relief with Acupuncture

W

hile acupuncture can be used to treat virtually any health condition, by far the most commonly thought-of medical issue for acupuncture is pain. And with good reason: acupuncture is safe, natural, and has virtually no side effects. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated acupuncture to provide effective and lasting pain relief for lower back pain, knee pain, acute sprains, herniated disks, and even nerve damage. Acupuncture has also been shown to moderate fibromyalgia symptoms in many patients. The World Health Organization officially recognizes acupuncture as an effective medical modality for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. And many insurance companies will now cover acupuncture when used to treat pain conditions.

There is a major difference between the methodology of pain relief of Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Most Western pain management is about masking or hiding the pain, and very little is done to actually treat the cause of the pain. This is especially true in chronic pain conditions. A combination of steroid shots and painkillers is often the prescription for many patients with chronic pain. Steroid shots can lead to unwanted weight gain and often become ineffective after several administrations. Pain pills can damage the internal organs, can lead to addiction, and do absolutely nothing to address the root of the pain in the first place.

In our view, using painkillers to treat chronic pain is like treating a broken water pipe by putting a bucket under it to collect the water, rather than fixing the actual leak itself.

Palm Beach Edition

TCM is different because we not only address the pain itself but we seek to heal the root cause of the pain. The goal for most types of chronic pain is not pain management but pain relief. That is to say we are looking to heal the body so the pain is gone and there is no residual need for pain management.

Unfortunately there are certain conditions where acupuncture cannot entirely get rid of the pain. However even in those cases acupuncture can help to reduce the intensity and frequency of the pain and is a safe and natural alternative to drug therapy.

The exact mechanism, in Western terms, by which acupuncture relieves pain, is still unknown though some research has shown acupuncture can block the nerve transmission of pain in affected areas. From TMC theory, pain is caused by blockage of the free flow of the bodies functional energy pathways, known as channels or meridians. The blockage can be caused by many different things including trauma (both physical and emotional), stress, disease, and poor diet and lifestyle choices. Acupuncture is so effective because it can quickly remove blockages and it promotes the body heal itself so that the blockage does not return in the future.

Acupuncture is not a miracle cure for pain or any other condition. Except for some cases of acute pain a single acupuncture session is not enough to restore the body’s natural flow of energy and thus remove the cause of the pain. Many acute pain cases can be resolved within 5 acupuncture sessions. For chronic pain there are several factors that determine how often one needs an acupuncture treatment. These include age, physical condition, diet and lifestyle, and other medical conditions that may be present. Generally speaking chronic pain conditions will require acupuncture treatments 2-3 times a week for the first few weeks. As each patient is different the timeline of progression for pain relief is also different.

ay Cupids Arrow find its mark and you fall in love with yourself from head to toe.

It is time recognize your natural beauty and enhance it. Today’s natural beauty is not the Plane Jane your mother might have been in the 60”s she is a woman of style glamour, well educated and knows there is more available for natural beauty care than an oatmeal bath, avocado facials and Henna.

Research has proven that many of the beauty products we have been using contain harmful ingredients that can cause a whole list of problems with our internal organs and many skin allergies. We have been coloring hair with Enzymes since the 70’s yet it is still questioned today weather it really works, doubts of grey coverage and or the dreaded, “you can’t get blonde enough with out peroxide.” Truth be told, you can cover grey and make hair platinum blonde faster with out brass and no irritation to the scalp. The fact is, hair is softer, shinier and healthier with natural enzymes and organic no ammonia hair die.

Enzymes in hair color act as a protein catalyst to replace tradition peroxide and process hair color and condition the hair and scalp. The proteins from the natural plant extracts found in sea kelp feed the hair shaft from the inside out improving the condition of the hair and providing longer lasting healthier results.

Ammonia opens the cuticle of the hair so that we can change the color and cover grey. However, 2% ammonia swells open the cuticle of the hair by 35 times it’s normal sizes and depending on the color brand of choice and shade selection there may be as much as 20%, especially in box color. This causes much stress and damage to the shaft of the hair leaving you with dull, dry, frizzy hair. Ammonia also eats away at the healthy cell production of the scalp and may cause hair to thin and break or at the very least, fade quickly costing you another visit to the salon. Not to mention the fumes that are inhaled causing respiratory and nasal congestions, eye irritations and inflammations.

Peroxide and ammonia are a thing of the past when it comes to hair color and the beauty industry. If this were not so then, why are we now seeing so many of the leading professional brands creating new hair color lines with out using these harmful ingredients? Even the do-ityourself at home color commercials boast no ammonia or peroxide with celebrity endorsements. Because, of course, all our favorite starlets go home after a long day on the set, pull out a box color and color their own hair in the bathroom!

Please don’t try this at home and don’t be fooled by many of the manufactures claims of organic and natural ingredients that still use ammonia and peroxide.

There are those who wish to catch the rising market of consumers seeking safer and healthier products and they use the buzzwords well. See a green spirited, certified organic beauty professional at the very least every six weeks. Make it your thing; love yourself and fall in love with your hair again.

Orion Being-In-Joy Tour

L

eslie Stewart from Cincinnati was told by Abraham (Esther Hicks) that she would channel. Soon after, Stewart started to channel Orion (similar to Seth and Abraham). These gentle teachers will bring their Being-In-Joy Tour, February 24, to Fort Lauderdale Metaphysical Chapel (www.MetaphysicalChapel. com), 1480 SW 9th Avenue, and February 25, Duncan Conference Center 15820 Military Trail, Delray Beach, 7 p.m.

Orion will discuss the natural universal laws in their new book, Trust and Allow the Process of Life-In-Joy!, followed by questions and answers.

Orion reminds us that we are more than our physical selves, and that we are connected to greater parts of our multidimensional selves that have the potential to create worlds. Like Abraham and Seth, they teach there is only a source of well-being; there is no source of darkness or scarcity, just resisting life and our authentic selves.

When Orion appears they bring not only words of wisdom but also emit peace, gentleness, and so much love that it leaves you feeling a sense of hopefulness and equanimity. They encourage a conscious partnership with our powerful and peaceful internal Godhood and living a story of profound empowerment, creativity in-joy!

newsbriefs This Valentine’s Day Deepen Your Relationships Feet First

T

ouching is an intimate act. Whether a hearty handshake or a tender embrace, when we touch another person, something happens between us. A relationship begins. If we continue to reach out to each other, the relationship grows. We share and exchange, and we are enriched. For Valentine’s day we may give presents, meals, time, interest, or love, but we are really always giving the same gift – ourselves.

Reflexology offers the perfect opportunity for giving the gift of ourselves in a way that brings health and well-being to those we care about.

My partner Michael and I know immediately when the other is having a stressful day, and we also know exactly what to do about it.

Grab a foot. Within minutes we can dispel each other’s stress or anxiety.

Touching the feet. We hardly ever do it.

Some people even manage to put on their shoes and socks without really coming into contact with their feet. This is one of the reasons why reflexology can revolutionize our lives. It is special, something we don’t ordinarily do!

Reflexology provides a valuable opportunity to let go of the usual problems and activities of the day and relax with someone we enjoy being with and then just be.

Most of us live lives that seem to have very little time for this. We live in a sea of noise, deadlines, interruptions, worries, responsibilities, and distractions that keep us from being with those we love. Reflexology can provide a quiet island in the course of each day where we can get together, stop the commotion, take stock of what is really important, and renew ourselves so we can return to our busy worlds with more energy and enthusiasm.

Reflexology can be the first step in discovering other ways to live happier and healthier lives. By putting your feet first with reflexology, you’ll realize how good you can feel; and you’ll want to learn how to find other quiet islands for taking care of yourself and your loved ones. Studies have shown that people who incorporate activities like meditation, reading, absorbing hobbies or physical exercise into their schedules–either alone or with someone else–tend to be healthier, happier and more efficient in all areas of their lives.

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.”

How can you get started now deepening your relationships through reflexology?

It’s easy:

• Give a special gift for Valentine’s Day or anytime – a Gift Certificate for better health and well being.

• Get my book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology and the companion DVD and discover how to deepen your relationships with Laura Norman Reflexology.

• Attend Laura Norman Reflexology Training – intro through certification – to broaden your skills. Consider becoming a Laura Norman-Certified Reflexologist.

This Valentine’s Day, or any day, give the gift of reflexology to those you love, including yourself. Your commitment to yourself, your family, your friends and your partner will be returned to you many times over.

• Private sessions – anywhere from one to two hours each – provide a wonderful opportunity to empower your whole being - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

• Share a double session with your lover, spouse, friend, child, or parent. You each receive a reflexology session while lying side-by-side. It’s a very special experience that is sure to deepen your relationship.

Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching sessions in Delray Beach and Holistic Reflexology Training Programs in Boynton Beach starting February 9th.

newsbriefs EXPERIENCE THAI MASSAGE -ASSISTED YOGA – A gift of Love from the Heart!

J

oin Mukti of the Vedic Conservatory Feb 21-23 at Yoga Fox Studios for a fantastic course for Yoga Teachers and Massage Therapists to enhance their offerings for one-on-one sessions!!!

Vedic Thai Yoga Massage (Assisted Yoga) is viewed as a martial art of healing and is reported to manifest instant positive results. In Thailand, Bodywork is utilized medicinally as a cherished and revered indulgence to remedy the prominent social ailments such as emotional stress and physical pain. Thai-Yoga sessions inspire the soul and tranquilize the body. The practice of Thai Yoga is the ultimate example of the balance of giving and receiving – leaving both the participant and the teacher filling a heart opening bliss.

Customarily, a Thai-Yoga session lasts about 2 hours, during which there is a surrendering release allowing for physical and mental ‘openings’. Flowing rhythmic compressions using the feet, knees, palms,

elbows, forearms and fingers are blended with stretching positions known as asanas.

As with an asana flow in yoga, “Breath” is the key to the practice. Disciplined breath control known as pranayama is part of the session and allows intense musculoskeletal, electrical-neural, chemical-glandular benefits.

YogaFox Studios and University is proud to host Mukti (Michael Buck) annually as a guest teacher for their 500 hour Yoga Alliance Program. Join him February 21-23 for a 3 day immersion in Thai Yoga.

Workshop participants will study this 3000-year-old traditional Southeast Asian Folk Art, which creates inspired tranquility and health.

“Mukti” Michael Buck is the Founder/ Director and Senior Teacher of the Vedic Conservatory. He is celebrated as an accomplished instructor’s instructor in the art of Thai-Yoga Bodywork. His 2007 induction into The World Massage Hall of Fame praised him for his career of unconditional loving service to humanity, bhakti yoga, as demonstrated through more than 14 years of continuous traveling and teaching.

newsbriefs TENSION TAMERS

I

t comes as no surprise, but stress isn’t good for you. Well of course, you knew that already but the question for most people is how to tame it. Here’s a secret I discovered: In actuality there is no such thing as a ‘stress thing’ outside of us. It is our interpretation of the events in our lives that causes us to feel stressed or not.

Don’t believe me? Here’s an example: You’re rushing home and stop at the grocery store to pick up dinner and those few items you forgot the last time you were there. You’re already running late and just as you step through the sliding doors with a cart full of groceries it begins pouring rain and you don’t have your umbrella. Feeling stressed, you curse the rain. One town over there is a farmer who’s just about lost his corn crop because of a long drought. He’s standing outside as the rain begins to pour, his clothes are drenched, yet he stands with arms outstretched, his face turned towards the sky, a broad smile on his lips. Feeling grateful, he blesses the rain. Same event, different interpretations.

You might think; “well….ok…..but that’s not he same as being worried about losing your job or not being able to pay your bills.” And I would say, well maybe it is. Sometimes there is a gift yet to be unwrapped in what seems to be the most unfortunate situations. Maybe losing a job is an opportunity to discover what your real passion is in life. Maybe having money challenges invites you to create some new and exciting avenues of income. So you see it’s all about perception! In the meantime while you might be wrestling with these ideas, here are a just a few tips to help tame the tension in your life.

1. BREATHE I bet you think you’re already doing this. Most of us are what is referred to as “shallow breathers.” Not to be confused with the Seinfeld Show’s “close talkers.” Deep breathing increases our vitality and promotes relaxation. To breathe properly, you should be breathing into your stomach. It should expand when you breathe in and contract when you breathe out. And, make sure you breathe through your nose as much as you can. You will feel instantly more relaxed.

2. PRIORITIZE What is essential that requires your immediate attention? Make two lists of all the tasks that need to be done. If you’re like me, making the list is in itself overwhelming, because my list includes about 100 action items. Never the less, make the lists. The first one will be your 10 “Action Needed Now” list in order of importance, from 1-10 with 1 being the most important. Be realistic –some of these items may even make it to list number 2. On list number 2 are all the things you would like to get to and eventually will, but can’t right now because you just prioritized!

3. ORGANIZE Maybe this was one of the items on your 10 Action Needed Now list. You know the saying “messy house, messy mind.” I’m not sure which came first, but this saying is ironically true. De-clutter your environment and your mind will follow. hedule a time when you can be free of distractions and follow the same steps to throw out, etc. You might be wondering how you can keep it all organized. Well, a coach can be very helpful here!

4. DELEGATE AND BARTER Now you know, you are not the only one who has to tackle everything on your to-do list. Enlist family or friends to help out. Maybe you can even barter something: Your time, talent or product.

5. SAY NO! This is a difficult word to say, especially for women.

Give it a try. You don’t have to say yes to every request that is made of you. I promise that you won’t make life long enemies. And if you do, well it’s likely they didn’t care that much about you anyway.

5. SAY YES! This is the second most difficult word for women to say when it comes to accepting help or gifts. Saying yes to offers from others to assist you will soothe your mind, your body and your soul. Saying yes to yourself in some form of self pampering is even more effective.

6. HAVE A SPIRITUAL ANCHOR Spirituality is best described as a perception of a connection to ‘something bigger’ than oneself.

Do you have a belief in something that brings you great peace and tranquility? I hope so. Studies show that people who have some type of spiritual belief are generally more resilient and happier than those who don’t.

7. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS You’ve heard it over and over again, but it bears repeating. Think about the things in your life that you are most grateful for. You’re stressed about your job? Well, you know, how about being grateful you have a job! Right now that seems to be a scarce commodity. And sometimes your gratitude list can be as simple as being able to get out of bed in the morning.

6. LAUGH Perhaps you’ve heard of the healing power of laughter and the amazing story of Norman Cousins who wrote Anatomy of an Illness. His story began in 1964, when he was diagnosed with a condition known as Ankylosing Spondylitis. The doctors speculated that his chance of survival was approximately 1 in 500. Faced with the real prospect of his impending death, Cousins thought long and hard about what role, if any he could play in his own recovery, and eventually did three things utterly contrary to medical opinion.

The first was to receive injections of extremely large doses Vitamin C. The second was to check himself out the hospital and into a

hotel room. Cousin’s had concluded that a hospital was “no place for a person who is seriously ill.” The third thing Cousin’s did was procure a movie projector and a large supply of funny films, including numerous Candid Camera tapes and several old prints of Marx Brother’s movies. On his first night in the hotel Cousins found that he laughed so hard at the films that he was able to stimulate chemicals in his body that allowed him several hours of pain free sleep and in addition his blood sedimentation rate, a key measurement of inflammation and infection in the blood, dropped by at least 5 points each time he watched one of these videos. Within a few weeks Cousins was back to work at the Saturday Evening Review, and, although he still had some minor physical difficulties, his body continued to recover as he continued with his self- directed wellness program.

7. HANG OUT WITH HAPPY PEOPLE! Make a commitment to not be a member of the “Woundology Club” where everyone commiserates about how unhappy they are and how life is just so unfair. Happiness and laughter are just as contagious as negativity and sadness. Optimistic people have a way of raising our spirits just by their presence. If you have happy friends, spend more time with them and if you don’t find some.

8. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS...

EAT CHOCOLATE! Truthfully, there are even more ways to eliminate stress in your life and change your perceptions, but I think these 8 tips are a wonderful place to begin! Feel free to pass along this information, just give credit to Michele Landers!

Early Warnings of Heart Troubles Differ for Women

W

omen may worry more about breast cancer, but in reality, heart disease is the top killer of American women, claiming 300,000 lives a year, 7.5 times the number that die of breast cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although heart disease is more often perceived as a men’s issue, since 1984 more women have died of heart disease than men.

Part of the reason may be that women’s heart attacks can differ from men’s and the American Heart Association (AHA) warns that women often fail to recognize the symptoms, ranging from torso aches and pains and nausea to anxiety, shortness of breath, dizziness and extreme fatigue. They may experience subtle symptoms for months and write them off as byproducts of menopause, heartburn or effects of aging.

The National Institutes of Health states that 43 percent of women that have heart attacks experience no chest pain.

The difference between the more subtle signs of a heart attack in women and the more dramatic signs in men may help explain why 75 percent of men, prompted to act quickly, survive a first heart attack, while only 62 percent of women do, according to the AHA. “Research shows that women may not be diagnosed or treated as aggressively as men,” notes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Nostalgia Arms Us for the Future

H

aving lingering fond memories of happy times, once actually thought to be a psychiatric disorder, have now been confirmed as a healthy and, ultimately, positive activity. Most people experience nostalgia at least once a week and nearly half of those surveyed reported experiencing it three or four times a week, say researchers at England’s University of Southampton.

When speaking wistfully of the past, individuals are usually reconstructing happy memories of family and friends, and typically become more optimistic about the future, reports lead researcher and Social Psychologist Constantine Sedikides, Ph.D., who observes, “Nostalgia makes us a bit more human.”

The Southampton paper, presented to the American Psychological Association, meshes well with another study confirming that nostalgic memories inspire positive feelings of joy, high self-regard, belonging and meaningfulness in life.

In two studies, social psychologists at North Dakota State University found that past fond memories help us become more self-confident and cope better in the present. “We see nostalgia as a psychological resource that people can dip into to conjure the evidence they need to assure themselves that they’re valued,” says lead researcher Clay Routledge.

FDA Moves to Ban Trans Fats

H

eart-clogging trans fatty acids may soon be a thing of the past.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken the first step to remove trans fats from its GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list, effectively banning their use in food products.

Trans fats, also known as hydrogenated vegetable oils, can be found in many processed foods, including baked goods, microwave popcorn, peanut butter, frozen pizza, margarine and coffee creamers. Created by adding hydrogen to liquid oils to turn them into a solid form, trans fats have been used to improve the texture, shelf life or flavor of foods.

For more than a decade, numerous scientific studies have documented that trans fats raise dangerous LDL cholesterol and lower good HDL cholesterol.

The FDA’s proposed ban would require the food industry to gradually phase out all trans fats, likely over several months or years, noting their threat to health. Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said the move could prevent 20,000 heart attacks a year and 7,000 deaths. Many food manufacturers have already phased out trans fats since new nutrition labeling requirements were introduced by the FDA in 2006; plus an increasing number of local laws have banned them.

A Different Breathalyzer Test for Heart Failure

S

imply blowing up a balloon may help doctors test heart function, according to a new study from the Cleveland Clinic. Although such examinations usually require expensive and sometimes invasive procedures, the new test can be done in a doctor’s office in 30 seconds, according to the research findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

The patient simply breathes into a Mylar balloon, similar to a party version, and the air is passed through a machine to produce an individual “breathprint”. Researchers determined that exhaled breath contains volatile organic compounds that can be easily analyzed to determine potential heart failure.

Zinc Orchestrates Immune Response

M

any have heard that zinc can stop a cold in its tracks, and new research from Ohio State University tells us why; it turns out that zinc gently taps the brakes on immune responses, slowing them down and preventing inflammation from spiraling out of control.

The researchers’ work with human cells and animals found that zinc serves to balance the immune response within the cells so that the consequences of insufficient zinc at the time of an infection include excessive inflammation. Of all the zinc contained in our bodies, only about 10 percent of it is readily accessible to help fight off an infection, notes Daren Knoell, professor of pharmacy and internal medicine and lead author of the study, published in Cell Reports.

The research team suggests that proper zinc balance is especially important in battling serious and potentially deadly infections. Zinc deficiency affects about 2 billion people worldwide, including an estimated 40 percent of the U.S. elderly.

Happy Marriage, Healthier Lives

A

University of Missouri expert says that people in happy marriages are more likely to rate their health better than their peers as they age. Evidently, engaging with one’s spouse builds a strong relationship that can improve spirits, promote feelings of well-being and lower stress.

Analyzing data from 707 continuously married adults that participated in the Marital Instability Over the Life Course panel study, a 20-year nationwide research project begun in 1980, researchers found that married people have better mental and physical health and are less likely to develop chronic conditions than their unmarried, widowed or divorced peers.

Thus, researchers recommended involving spouses and families in treatment for any illness. They further suggested that in cases of a strained marital relationship, improving marital harmony would also improve health.

Wild Valentines

Many Animals Mate for Life Humans like to think of themselves as unique when it comes to taking vows of togetherness. But a surprising number of other species in the animal kingdom provide sterling examples of fidelity, monogamy and lifelong pairing.

Gibbons, of the ape family, are the nearest relatives to humans that mate for life.

They form extremely strong pairings and both sexes are on relatively equal footing in their relationships.

Bald eagles, our national emblem, typically mate for life, except in the event of a partner’s inability to procreate.

Wolves, often portrayed as tricksters in folklore, conduct a family life more loyal than many human relationships. Wolf packs typically comprise a male, a female and their offspring, making them akin to a human nuclear family.

Swans form monogamous pair bonds that last for many years or even for life.

Their loyalty is so storied that the image of two swans swimming with their necks entwined in the shape of a heart has become a universal symbol of true love.

French angelfish are seldom found far from their mate, because they live, travel and even hunt in pairs. The fish form monogamous relationships that often last as long as both individuals are alive. In fact, they act as a team to vigorously defend their territory against neighboring pairs.

Other examples include albatrosses, African antelopes, black vultures, Malagasy giant rats, prairie voles, sandhill cranes, termites and, of course, turtle doves.

Turning Agri-Waste to Good Use Cement that incorporates waste ash from sugar production is not only stronger than ordinary cement, it also qualifies as a greener building material. Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark, have found that cement made with sugar cane ash mixed in is stronger, can withstand higher pressure

and crumbles less than ordinary cement.

In countries where sugar cane is grown, such as Cuba and Brazil, this agricultural waste product has been added to cement for years. Extracting sugar from the cane typically leaves a lot of fiber waste that is burned into ash, discarded and then requires disposal.

Using sugar cane ash also can lower the energy use and carbon footprint of cement production. Heloisa Bordallo, a researcher at the Institute, comments, “You are saving both CO2 emissions and raw materials.”

Star Trekking

Voyager 1 Enters Interstellar Space The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) recently confirmed that after 36 years, the Voyager 1 probe crossed the boundary of the heliosphere, or the extent of our Sun’s influence, a year ago. It’s the first manmade object to venture into interstellar space.

At a distance of about 12 billion miles from the Sun, the latest data indicates that Voyager 1 has been traveling through the plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars. The journal Science notes that this corroborates the existence of a longhypothesized boundary between the solar plasma and the interstellar plasma. Voyager 2, a companion craft launched at the same time, is also expected to break the barrier.

Loving Local

Small Retailers Gaining Force While online mega-shopping malls have decimated many types of small businesses around the country, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies notes that independent bookstores are doing surprisingly well. For the last four years, their number and total sales have grown, despite the recent recession.

In 2009, citizens patronized 1,651 independent bookstores in the United States; today their number exceeds 1,900.

In addition, local coffee shops have grown faster than the largest chain’s storefronts. Bakers and specialty food purveyors, independent pharmacies and pet, fabric and stationery stores are growing, too.

One reason for the good news is the “buy local” ethic promoted by groups such as the American Independent Business Alliance. Last year, sales at independent businesses in cities benefitting from these campaigns grew 8.6 percent; those without them still increased 3.4 percent.

Independents are winning customer loyalty in part by hosting and sponsoring events that enrich the community. The public is realizing that buying local supports area families, keeps more dollars circulating locally and strengthens a healthy sense of community that benefits everyone.

Green Finance

Canada Shows the Way via Mass Transit The government of Ontario, Canada, is issuing “green bonds” to fund the expansion of mass transit infrastructure in the province. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says, “Green bonds are a great tool to raise capital for a project with specific environmental benefits.

The worldwide market for green bonds in the last year has doubled; it’s now estimated to be more than $346 billion in U.S. dollars.”

Greenwashing Watchdog Dr. Bronner Clears Out Imposters

The nonprofit manufacturer of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps (DrBronner.com), known in the U.S. for more than 50 years for its devotion to purity and information-crammed product labels, has taken to filing lawsuits against companies that don’t live up to health claims or that employ deceptive greenwashing tactics.

One primary focus is the cosmetics industry’s use of so-called “organic” ingredients. Company president David Bronner reports, “About 80 percent of these companies simply dropped their claims; the others reformulated.” He also lobbies for labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in Washington State.

Handy Curriculum

Beyond Bling

Shop Class Teaches Sustainability According to a report in The Boston Globe, some American schools regret that they replaced woodshops with high-tech educational forums in the 1990s. Shop class is valuable for students that may underperform in traditional academic settings and empowers them to learn and produce tangible results.

Doug Stowe, a woodworker and teacher in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, writes in WisdomOfHands.Blogspot.ca, “Our society has inadvertently created a dependent generation of young people that don’t know how to fix things and lack even the most basic manual competence. Putting girls and boys into shop class would challenge rampant consumerism because a person is less inclined to throw out a piece of furniture and buy a replacement if they know how to fix it.

“With so many cheap imports flooding stores, it’s difficult for students to gain perspective on the resources and time required to create a piece of furniture, so shop class can teach students to appreciate long-lasting quality and its accompanying fair price tag. In this way, shop class is linked to sustainability.”

Jumpin’ Jellyfish

Numbers Explode with Ocean Warming and Overfishing Favorite destination beach resorts around the world have seen huge increases in jellyfish “bloom” activity. “Jellyfish and tourism are not happy bedfellows,” says Dr. Lisa-ann Gershwin, Ph.D., a pioneering marine biologist and author of Stung! On Jellyfish Blooms and the Future of the Ocean. “In Florida, it’s not uncommon in recent years for a half a million people to be stung during an outbreak.”

A report, Review of Jellyfish Blooms in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, written by Fernando Borea for the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and the United Nations, cites both global warming and overfishing, which removes jellyfish predators, as causes for recent jellyfish population explosions.

Of the more than 2,000 species of jellyfish swimming through the world’s waters, most are completely harmless. However, human contact with some types can cause excruciating pain, and the box jellyfish is among the handful of species that have caused fatalities around the globe.

Gershwin says, “Australia is upfront about its jellyfish dangers and also assertive in safety management, whereas other places have them, but may understand less about them or in some cases, just don’t want to say. Tourists need to be aware of local hazards and not expect to necessarily be provided with pertinent information.”

True Treasures Avert Eco-Harm Done right, Valentine’s Day and gifts of jewelry go together like love and marriage.

Those that have no desire to support the unsafe worker conditions, widespread price fixing and waste associated with gold mining, also linked to pollution, financing wars and terrorism, look for better options. They wish to have no part in underwriting standard ring-making practices which, according to the Worldwatch Institute, create tons of toxic mining waste that can persist for decades and enter the food chain. Happily, there are far more ethical choices.

Alternate routes. Among many sustainable and socially responsible options, jewelry made from recycled gold, silver and titanium plus synthetic gemstones is offered by GreenKarat (GreenKarat.com) while Brilliant Earth (BrilliantEarth.com) provides antiques and also custom makes or helps customers create their own treasured gifts utilizing minerals from pure sources; the company also donates 5 percent of its profits to support communities that have suffered from unethical industry practices.

Heirlooms. A son or grandson gifting a grandmother’s or mother’s cherished piece of jewelry to a spouse or girlfriend expresses a tradition of love and family connectivity, plus gives new life to precious items. Michelle Ercanbrack, a family historian at Ancestry.com, recommends using a family-treasured diamond in a more modern setting or making a ring into a pendant.

“Heirlooms link the present to the past—they are part of a family narrative that can increase the present generation’s sense of belonging and identity,” she says.

Native American jewelry. Deborah Nelson, owner of Silver Eagle Gallery, in Naples, Florida, and Highlands, North Carolina, attests that artful jewelry by Native Americans supports their culture and forges a connection to Americana with timeless appeal.

Bracelets made by Navajo Indians incorporate turquoise pieces often linked together or set in mosaic form on a sterling band. Sterling silver and golden amber sunburst rings also make good gifts. “The handmade attention to detail is a stark contrast to what’s cast in a mold overseas,” says Nelson.

RETHINKING HEART HEALTH Pioneering Doctors and Patients Reinvent Cardio Care

by Linda Sechrist

I

n 1977, Dr. Dean Ornish began to think beyond an allopathic medicine paradigm that defined the reversal of cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease (CHD) and the hypertensive diseases such as heart failure and stroke, as physiologically implausible.

Undaunted by the challenge of funding his research, he pushed forward. Results of his foundational 1986 to 1992 Lifestyle Heart Trial, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, proved that individuals with preexisting coronary atherosclerosis that make intensive, integrated lifestyle changes can begin to experience improvements in their condition after as little as one year without using lipid-lowering drugs.

Based on his 30-plus years of clinical research, Ornish and his colleagues further showed that five years of following proper nutrition, fitness and stress management—which must include love

36

and support—can reduce symptoms of CHD and other chronic conditions. He remarks in Love & Survival: 8 Pathways to Intimacy and Health that despite numerous studies showing a medical basis for its occurrence, the reason why CHD is reversible is still the subject of debate.

Ornish’s work has paved the way for a growing corps of pioneering integrative physicians successfully collaborating with patients to reduce the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States.

Plaque the Culprit

The cause of cardiovascular disease is arterial plaque, a fine layer of fatty material that forms within the arteries and blocks blood flow. It is largely the result of food and activity choices, plus the degree of inflammation in the arteries. Dr. Steven Masley’s three keys to improving heart health highlighted in his book, The 30-

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

Day Heart Tune-Up, and an upcoming PBS special, concern lifestyle factors capable of shrinking plaque, improving circulation and strengthening the heartbeat. “Abnormal plaque growth is preventable 90 percent of the time,” states the president of Masley Optimal Health Center, in St. Petersburg, Florida.

While conducting research on the heart health of nearly 1,000 patients over a period of 20 years, Masley suspected that the traditional assessment approach of measuring cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure didn’t effectively address the biochemistry within arteries. Testing intima-media thickness (IMT) using a simple 10-minute external ultrasound confirmed it.

The test bounces high-frequency sound waves to measure the thickness of the cartoid arteries’ innermost two layers on either side of the neck.

“This valuable tool allows for an estimate of arterial age. A healthy, young cardiovascular system has less plaque and an unhealthy, old one has more,” advises Masley. IMT, a useful tool for preventing future heart attacks and strokes, differs from standard carotid Doppler ultrasound, which looks for artery obstructions suggesting surgery.

A practitioner of functional medicine, Masley explains heart-related diagnoses differently than his allopathic counterparts. “Rather than diagnosing high blood pressure as hypertension, I categorize it as not enough exercise, not enough fruits and vegetables, high emotional stress and excessive body fat.”

To optimize heart health, Masley employs a broad, holistic matrix of options that enhance the cardiovascular system—the interactions among diet, activity level, weight, environmental toxins, hormones, stress and biochemical factors such as blood sugar control and inflammation levels. He prescribes heart-healing foods that simultaneously help to manage the aging process, following a customized, heart-friendly supplement plan; engaging in exercise that strengthens the heart and arteries; and learning how to better manage stress.

He contends that cardiovascular events remain the top cause of death because individuals are largely unaware

routine, healthier diet and doctor visits for appropriate non-invasive tests.

~ Dr. Dean Ornish, Love & Survival

Dr. James Forleo, a chiropractor in Durango, Colorado, with 30-plus years of clinical experience, maintains that health is simple, disease is complicated (also the title of his book). He counsels patients, “If mental stress is present in your life, you owe it to your cardiovascular system to change to a healthier lifestyle. Your life may depend on it.”

Forleo has recognized that an individual’s state of mind can be a big help or hindrance in maintaining a healthy heart. “The heart represents a different realm of experience entirely, one that cannot be explained by logic and reason,” comments Forleo.

He champions the link between maintaining normal spinal function and healthy heart function, along with supporting the inner presence of Spirit, which he calls the healthy heart’s ultimate elixir. “Its essence relaxes the heart, opens the mind to possibilities greater than itself and provides the

of treatment options before they get into trouble. More, “Most people falsely assume that their condition has been fixed with a medical procedure and/or drugs, and that a lifestyle change isn’t necessary.”

Cholesterol’s Bad Rap

Dr. Stephen Sinatra, an integrative cardiologist, anti-aging specialist and bioenergetics psychotherapist in Manchester, Connecticut, has also shifted his heart health paradigm. He now prescribes a combination of conventional medicine, food, supplements, mind/body strategies and natural healing methods. His book, Heartbreak and Heart Disease: A Mind/ Body Prescription for Healing the Heart, relates many inspiring case histories that address the psycho-emotional component of heart health and illustrate how to repair and reopen a broken heart by releasing long-repressed emotions.

Following two years of Gestalt psychotherapy training and seven years of bioenergetics training, Sinatra likewise realized that heartbreak was one of the major causes of heart disease. An expert in the field of natural cardiology, he had once believed that cholesterol and fat were the primary causes before 40 years of treatment research taught him otherwise.

“Cholesterol is not the reason for heart disease,” advises Sinatra, founder of HeartMDInstitute.com and author of The Great Cholesterol Myth. “The body produces and needs cholesterol to convert sunlight to vitamin D, to make sex hormones, vital semipermeable membranes for the body’s trillions of cells, plus bile salts for digestion. Even your brain makes and uses cholesterol to build connections between the neurons that facilitate learning and memory.”

Real Perpetrators

Sinatra names the real perpetrators of heart disease—stress, inflammation and overeating sugar and processed foods containing saturated fat. He counsels that the heart benefits less from a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet than one low in carbohydrates

and higher in healthy fats, overturning widespread medical mantras.

Also, a high-fructose, high-grain carbohydrate diet raises triglycerides, increases the risk of metabolic syndrome and contributes to insulin resistance, causing the liver to produce more cholesterol, as well as more inflammatory, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) particles, all of which increase the risk for CHD, diabetes and stroke. The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that metabolic syndrome, which affects nearly 35 percent of American adults, may overtake smoking as the leading risk factor for CHD.

The AHA currently is focused on increasing awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of women. Its Go Red for Women campaign emphasizes the vital need to take preventive basic actions, including adopting an exercise

perspective that the heart and the mind are complementary,” he observes.

He explains that when our emotions get bottled up, something in our heart or circulation has to give. “If you or someone you know experiences heart problems, chances are that unresolved emotions lie directly below the surface,” he says. “There are exceptions, and genetic problems can explain many heart defects, but heart problems don’t usually show up unless emotions are involved.”

Forleo’s concept is supported by the work of Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., executive vice president and director of research at California’s Institute of HeartMath. His research papers include The Energetic Heart: Bioelectromagnetic Interactions Within and Between People.

“Today, evidence suggests that the heart may play a particularly important role in emotional experience. Research in the relatively new discipline of neurocardiology has confirmed that the heart is a sensory organ and acts as a sophisticated information encoding and processing center that learns, remembers and makes independent functional decisions that don’t involve the cerebral cortex,” advises McCraty.

To Happy Hearts

Pioneering integrative medical doctors Masley, Sinatra, Forleo and Mona Lisa Schultz, who also holds a Ph.D. in behavioral neuroscience, agree that in matters of heart disease, emotions take center stage. Schultz, who recently co-authored All is Well: Heal Your Body with Medicine, Affirmations and Intuition, with Louise L. Hay, a leading founder of the self-help movement, applies her 25 years of experience as a medical intuitive with the best of Western clinical science, brain research and energy medicine.

Shultz observes, “Every illness has an emotional component, which tells us intuitively that something or someone in our life or environment is out of balance and needs to be addressed. Our use of language—such as frustration makes our heart race, anger boils our blood—and our common sense are telling us what we don’t need more studies to confirm. If we can’t deal with our anger in a timely fashion, name our feelings, respond effectively and release them, we increase our chance of illness, ranging from hypertension to cardiovascular events.”

According to the American Journal of Cardiology, the U.S. spends 10 percent of all healthcare dollars for cardiovascular disease prevention and medical management versus 90 percent on medical treatment procedures and hospital care. For individuals interested in taking charge of their heart health, working with a physician that embraces the emerging paradigm of integrative lifestyle changes and prevention can be a drug-free, life-saving decision.

Natural Ways to Slide into a State of Calmness

by Kathleen Barnes

W

e all encounter everyday stressors and usually find our own ways of defusing them.

However, when chronic stress remains unresolved, it extracts a toll on health that may range from heart disease and stroke to obesity, gastrointestinal problems and depression. Thankfully, Natural Awakenings has uncovered inviting ways to regularly de-stress that naturally make us feel good. Here are some refreshing ideas for immediate rest and relaxation.

Eat Mindfully. Chocolate can be an excellent antidote to stress-related binge eating, advises Dr. Susan Lord, an integrative physician in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, who leads mind-body medicine programs at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, in Stockbridge. “We rarely eat mindfully,” comments Lord.

“We’re usually gulping down our food while watching TV, arguing with the kids or reading a book.”

She often leads a meditation in which participants are allotted one small piece of chocolate that they must eat slowly and consciously. “Most people discover they have never really tasted their food,” she says. “They are pleasantly surprised to discover that they feel satiated and satisfied on every level.”

Lord’s teaching is supported by a study from an Oregon Research Institute affiliate in Albuquerque, New Mexico, showing that people lost significant

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

amounts of weight by eating slowly and mindfully. Accordingly, Kripalu has encouraged eating in silence for nearly 40 years, a practice Lord heartily recommends to her patients for one meal a day.

Walk a labyrinth. A meditative walk on a labyrinth may be just what the doctor ordered, says physician Esther Sternberg, professor of medicine and research director at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. “A labyrinth differs from a maze, which has high walls and many dead ends,” notes Sternberg. “Walking a maze is inevitably stressful; a labyrinth has the exact opposite effect. There is only one path in and one path out. You go to the middle, meditate and walk back out. It’s a perfectly calming walking meditation.”

In physiological terms, Sternberg explains, the deep breathing induced by labyrinth walking activates the vagus nerve, which prompts relaxation. It does this by interrupting the brain’s stress response and halting the release of adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol from the adrenal glands.

Our ancestors built labyrinths as early as 4,000 BCE. They exist today in churches, healing centers and backyards all over the world. Finger labyrinths, even as simple as an outline printed on a piece of paper, also have proved to be effective relaxation tools, says Neal Harris, a

licensed clinical professional counselor in Barrington, Illinois. His study confirming its relaxing effects was published in the Annals of Psychotherapy & Integrative Health.

Shake (or laugh) it off. Anyone that has ever felt like exploding from tight shoulders, indigestion, headaches or other conditions caused by accumulated stress can benefit from Lord’s recommendation to experience a whole-body shake.

“Just stand with your feet firmly planted and start shaking—first your feet, then your legs, arms, head and neck and eventually, your whole body—for at least two or three minutes,” she counsels. “You’ll shake off all of that tension, energize every cell and probably start laughing, another great stress reliever.”

A good belly laugh is likewise a powerful stress reliever, according to a study by researchers at Indiana State University, in Terra Haute, published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. Results also showed that laughter increased production of the protective cells that boost immune function.

Create a memory garden. For Sternberg, her personal place of peace is an unconscious re-creation combining the sights and smells of her grandmother’s garden

with the comfortable “at home” feeling of her parents’ deck and mementos from a happy time in Crete. At the center of Sternberg’s happy memories are fragrant jasmine and gardenia trees, lavender and basil, all reminders of happy times in her life. She recalls, “It wasn’t until I was finished that I realized what I had done.”

A review of relevant science reported in Neural Plasticity explains that the brain’s hippocampus region, a seat of memory, especially related to place, also normally regulates the production of cortisol. But an excess of cortisol due to stress can impair its memory functions.

“When we are in a place that brings happy memories to mind, we let go of stress and stop the release of cortisol,” says Sternberg. “It helps to just think of a place where we have been happy.”

She recommends creating a home space with some plants on a windowsill, photos of happy family gatherings, fabrics or paint in beloved colors and perhaps inherited items that trigger fond memories.

Kathleen Barnes is the author of numerous natural health books, including 10 Best Ways to Manage Stress. Connect at KathleenBarnes.com.

Music Soothes the Soul Dozens of studies from leading institutions like Brandeis University, in Waltham, Massachusetts, the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center, in Yonkers, New York, and Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, show that music can offset stress, relieve pain, lower blood pressure, improve immune function and support restful sleep. So play a tune or two of much-loved music and let the calming effects induce a state of relaxation.

According to research from the American Society of Hypertension, classical music, the blues and other soothing music work best because they cause the body to release endorphins and slow breathing rates. It’s better yet if our favorite music inspires stress-releasing body movement.

Mainstays of a Home in Harmony

Creating an inspired and healthy home environment soothes the soul and recharges our proverbial batteries.

Making healthful choices in the products we use and consume helps ensure we retain a healthy body and vibrant living in an era when we are inundated with disease-producing toxins in our homes, food, air and water.

Applying simple solutions to slow down helps us maintain a calm mind amidst the frenetic pace of daily life. Periodically unplugging from the instant demands of technology is a good first step.

Tuning into our life purpose and sharing it with others allows us to shine. We naturally radiate our inner light in everexpanding ways.

Mindful Strategies

A study published by the International Academy for Design and Health shows that because our home influences us on many levels, the setting is continually either supporting or depleting its occupants. Consciously creating and sustaining a nurturing environment fortifies the roots from which family members evolve and grow.

Experience shows us how improving our immediate surroundings, ranging from our wardrobe to household furnishings, helps to manifest positive internal transformations. The activity likewise reflects our inner landscape, allowing us to

napalmbeach.com

take a step back and observe how we are changing and hope to change.

That’s why we periodically feel impelled to clear unsettling clutter from our private spaces. It’s an irritant that disrupts order and our sense of beauty; even when it’s stashed in drawers and closets, we still know it’s there. It competes for attention and distracts our focus.

A recently relocated design client felt that her new house was beautiful, but didn’t feel like a home. The woman explained that when she was there, she was short-tempered with her kids, a sharp contrast to her usual demeanor. She yearned to love her home, enjoy her kids and live vibrantly. A key part of the solution was tackling the home’s mudroom entrance that was cluttered with the kids’ detritus, a condition that irritated her the minute she walked through the door.

Many of the home products we buy contain disquieting, hidden elements. Understanding which ingredients are hazardous is imperative to maintaining a safe home environment. Key decisions range from the choice of carpets, couches and bedding to cleaning products, laundry solutions and air fresheners.

Knowing the products we use are healthful enhances peace of mind. As one homeowner said, “I am so relieved to have a better understanding of what products I shouldn’t bring home. I was so scared before that I just ignored the idea that chemicals could be harmful.”

Being informed and alert to the composition of the items we bring into our home—including food—is vital. More than 80,000 chemicals make up the ingredients in commonly available products that end up in the typical American home, and a large portion of them are toxic. Nearly 20 percent of the chemicals are not divulged, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The EPA also reports that the average person holds more than 700 toxic chemicals in their body. We inhale myriad chemical byproducts that fill the air both indoors and out, plus ingest numerous toxins in the foods and beverages we consume. Once absorbed, they remain in the body unless flushed out, throwing it out of balance and, as widespread research shows, causing a broad range of diseases.

WebMD.com reports that the psychological impacts of feeling stressed, helpless and overwhelmed by the fear of lurking poisons can directly influence our physical health. Making informed choices can alleviate such feelings. It only requires taking a series of small and manageable, progressive steps to create our own style of a healthy and harmonious home life.

On a spiritual level, we can rest assured that such caring for our inner temple and larger environment supports a greater good and fosters a deeper connection to life’s Source. We feel more physically, psychologically and spiritually vibrant. Our home becomes a vital wellspring that, cleaned and furnished with holistic awareness, continually refreshes us.

Quiet Kids in a Noisy World

Bringing Out the Best in Introverts

by Meredith Montgomery

G

abrielle Perillo’s daughter, A’ngel, 11, is a deep thinker, compassionate for all beings (human and not), a defender of justice, spiritual and extremely creative. She pursues any subject she studies with focus and passion. Although other children are naturally drawn to her, A’ngel, a born introvert, generally prefers to play quietly on her own. At first, her mother worried that her daughter was being insensitive to others and not paying attention to her surroundings. But once Mom released her own emotional projections, she recognized how happy her daughter is in her own space and began to appreciate the benefits of this independence.

At least a third of Americans are introverts, yet many parents are prone to mischaracterize their more private children as antisocial, self-centered and lonely. Susan Cain, a former corporate attorney and author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, explains, “Introverts are not antisocial, they just prefer socializing in lower-key ways.” They usually form a few deep and intimate relationships compared to extroverts that often cultivate many friends.

Christine Fonseca, an educational psychologist and author of Quiet Kids, notes the danger in misunderstanding a child’s hesitancy or reserved nature. “Kids can benefit from understanding who they are and what it means to be an introvert. Otherwise, they may compare themselves to their extrovert friends and feel deficient.”

Introverts own many exceptional qualities. They tend to be deep thinkers able to work independently in highly creative and innovative ways. They may prefer to learn a lot about a few top-

ics instead of a little about many different areas. Often described as empathetic, conscientious and self-aware, introverts make authentic leaders and effective managers as adults.

Introvert and extrovert temperaments are distinguished by how individuals generate energy. Introverts process the world and recharge through solitude; many can flourish in social situations as long as they can rejuvenate by being on their own.

Fonseca notes a defining difference in physiology. “Introverts use part of the nervous system that has a long pathway from point A to point B, so it takes them longer to process information.”

Cain adds, “Introverts also usually have a longer runway than others, so it takes them longer to take off and fly. It’s crucial that the message they’re receiving from parents and teachers is, ‘That’s okay.’” It’s important that parents balance how they honor a child’s preferences with teaching them skills to thrive. “Don’t expect them to follow the gang,” says Cain.

“Instead, encourage them to follow their passions.”

Parents can empower children with tools to increase their comfort zone. If youngsters have difficulty speaking up in class, it helps to prepare them with what they want to say beforehand.

Cain notes that this lessens anxiety and when they are able to speak up, they’ll feel like part of the class.

Simple tips can offer relief in uncomfortable social situations. Perillo reinforces social manners before she and A’ngel arrive at an event. She focuses on the greetings, reminding her to extend her hand first, speak clearly, make eye contact and smile. Also, because self-promotion doesn’t come naturally to introverts, they often need coaching to highlight their own assets when applying for a club, college or job.

Fonseca encourages families to embrace digital technology. She observes, “Most introverts are extroverts online. While face-to-face communication tends to drain them, that doesn’t happen as much online, plus it’s easier to feel more adept socially there.” They’ll still need to disconnect and renew after socializing online, so it’s important to set usage boundaries.

Fonseca, who has one introverted and one extroverted child, facilitates dialogue that teaches each of them to communicate with their peers about their needs. “My introvert tells her extrovert friends not to take offense if she needs to take quiet time alone. They offer each other a perspective that makes their own point of view more well-rounded.”

From a neuropsychological perspective, introverts and extroverts can learn from each other, as well. According to Fonseca, extroverts that habitually activate their sympathetic nervous system (“fight-or-flight”) can experience burnout if they don’t learn how to slow down and be calm. However, introverts, relying mostly on their parasympathetic system (“rest and digest”), can be overly calm and slow to respond to situations.

Fonseca notes, “It’s not about one temperament being more positive than the other; it’s about understanding who everyone is, their authentic self and finding balance.”

CHOCOLATE AS HEALTH FOOD Boosting Diets and Heart Health esearch tells us that 14 out of any 10 individuals like chocolate,” quips cartoonist Sandra Boynton.

American chocolate lovers buy 58 million-plus pounds around Valentine’s Day, according to Nielsen Research. Ideally, the dark treat would be as healthy as a salad or an apple.

Fortunately, accumulating research is on the way to giving plant-based chocolate superfood status.

All chocolate starts with cacao beans, seeds from the pods of the tropical cacao tree that thrives only in hot, rainy climates in Africa, Indonesia and South America. Local soil and climate conditions determine flavor characteristics, much as with grapes. Harvested beans are fermented to create the chocolate taste and then dried. Afterwards, chocolate makers add brand-specific ingredients to the cacao solids.

“The percentage number on a bar’s wrapper represents the weight that actually comes from the cacao bean content,” says Robert L. Wolke, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and author of What Einstein

Palm Beach Edition 5/29/13 5:23 PM

Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained. “The higher the number, the lower the percentage of sugar and the less sweet, more bitter and complex the flavor.”

This is significant because dark chocolate contains higher levels of antioxidants which can help reduce cell damage, according to the Integrative Medicine Department at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor.

Alex Whitmore, founder of Taza Chocolate, in Somerville, Massachusetts, recently had one of its bars lab tested for antioxidant levels, called ORAC, or oxygen radical absorption capacity; the higher the value, the more antioxidants. Taza Chocolate’s 80% Dark Bar had a 65 percent higher ORAC than Himalayan goji berries, famed for being a superfood. “This is very high for a chocolate bar,” notes Whitmore.

Cocoa also serves as a superfood for cardiovascular and metabolic health, report two recent studies from separate teams of Harvard School of Public Health researchers. A 2012 meta-analysis of clinical trials published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that consuming dark,

unsweetened cocoa powder and dark chocolate can improve blood pressure, vascular dilation and cholesterol levels, plus reduce metabolic precursors like diabetes that can lead to heart disease.

In 2011, Eric Ding, Ph.D., a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist and nutrition scientist, reviewed short-term trials of subjects ingesting 400 to 500 mg per day of flavonoid-rich cocoa, which he equates to 33 bars of milk chocolate or eight bars of dark chocolate. While Ding feels this is an unreasonable amount to eat because of the extra calories from sugar and fat, he states, “Supplements with concentrated cocoa flavonoids may perhaps be helpful for garnering the benefits discovered.

The key is getting the benefits for heart disease while avoiding the calories, and for that, chocolate bars are not likely the best solution.”

Another observational study published in Nutrition shows that eating dark chocolate might help keep the pounds off for teenagers. Researchers with the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence program at the University of Zaragoza, in Spain, knew that chocolate consumption in adults already had been linked to lower body mass index. They found that chocolate consumption was also associated with lower total and midsection fat in European adolescents, reports Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo.com, a natural health research database.

“The quality and cocoa content they used in their research is probably much higher than in America,” says Ji. “From my perspective, it appears that even when researchers don’t control for type, the results across the board are rather startling. Even American subjects, presumably eating common milk chocolate bars, see benefits.”

So, this Valentine’s Day—and every day—we can happily relish that oneounce piece of artisan dark chocolate melting slowly in our mouth and know we’re doing it for pleasure and for health.

Chocolate Cookery Vegan Chocolate Pie

Serve this with fresh raspberries and enjoy a little romance.

Yields 8 servings Chocolate Wafer Crust 6½ oz dairy-free chocolate wafer cookies, crushed into fine crumbs 1 Tbsp maple or date sugar 3 oz vegan buttery stick (such as Earth Balance), melted and slightly cooled Chocolate Filling 13 oz dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli) 1 /3 cup strong brewed coffee 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 lb silken tofu, drained 1 Tbsp honey 1 (9-in) prepared chocolate wafer crust Preheat the oven to 350° F. For the crust, combine the cookie crumbs, sugar and melted vegan buttery stick.

Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom, up the sides and just over the lip of a 9-inch metal pie pan. Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the crust is set and appears dry, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour.

For the filling, melt the chocolate chips with the coffee and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring often with a spatula. Combine the tofu, melted chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours or until the filling becomes firm.

Chocolate

By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP

YES, IT’S TRUE: chocolate’s good for you!

I

t’s a long story. Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) comes from the seeds of the fruit of a tropical tree grown around the world.

There are about twenty species of the genus Theobroma, with only one of commercial value, which is divided into three groups.

The trees make a good crop, are easy to grow, and yield about 20-30 pods a year,

each containing 30-40 beans. The seeds are removed from their shells, dried, fermented, lightly roasted, and ground to produce chocolate liquor, the basic ingredient for all chocolate products. Cocoa butter is the hard fat obtained from the crushed seeds.

Cacao has a recorded history of about 4000 years. The origins of the word “cacao” come from the Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula. The Aztecs believed it was food of the gods (that’s what “Theobroma” means), and they used it as currency. I know people who would probably work for chocolate; I certainly have patients who pay me in chocolate. The Maya were the first to create chocolate by drying, fermenting, roasting, and grinding the beans. Christopher Columbus was the first European to bring the beans back to Europe around 1502. Chocolate wasn’t quite a hit among Europeans at first, because the Aztecs mixed their chocolate drink with chillies and dyed it red with annatto to look like blood (yes, they had a reputation for being “bloodthirsty”). Europeans quickly learned to mix their chocolate drinks with sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and

even beer and wine. It was even served in Mass (I bet attendance increased!). When the French started drinking it, they were soon exalting its aphrodisiacal properties, placed heavy taxes on it, and thus perpetuated its mythical reputation as a drink for the rich and romantic.

Chocolate houses in 17th and 18th century England supposedly became more popular than pubs. The first chocolate factory in England began in 1728. The first chocolate bar was produced at that same business in 1876 when they mixed chocolate powder with sugar and cocoa butter.

The first milk chocolate bar was created in 1876 by Nestle and Peters. American Milton Hershey became the first to mass-produce chocolate in 1894. His first Hershey Bar was sold for five cents. Today, of course, there are no limits to the chocolate creations you can make or purchase, from home, local stores, the internet, and so on.

Chocolate liquor, the basic ingredient for chocolate products, has a high content of cocoa butter (over 50%). Unsweetened chocolate is chocolate liquor made into bars. Semisweet chocolate has more than 35% chocolate liquor, sweet dark chocolate has around 15%, milk chocolate has around 10%, and white chocolate has no cocoa solids, but has around 20% cocoa butter (technically it’s not chocolate, but who’s counting).

Almost 400 compounds have been measured in cocoa. Some of the more well known ones are: theobromine, methylxanthines, caffeine, fats (oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid), starch, sugars, proteins, tannins, and oxalates.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE MANY EFFECTS OF CHOCOLATE (the list you’ve been waiting for): • Flavonoids (flavonols in dark chocolate) reduce risk of cardiovascular disease

48

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

• Lowers blood pressure by helping produce nitric oxide (Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis all enhance the effects of nitric oxide). A tribe in Panama that drinks five cups of cocoa a day rarely develops high blood pressure; but when they leave their home island, some of them develop high blood pressure (is it the chocolate or exposure to modern society?)

• Antioxidant properties, preventing fat-like substances in the blood from oxidizing and clogging arteries, thus improving circulation • Inhibits platelets from sticking together and forming clots • Stimulants in chocolate like theobromine, caffeine, tyramine, and phenylethylamine all contribute to increased alertness and mental activity (example: there are about 30 mg of caffeine in a chocolate bar, 150 m in a cup of coffee) • Tryptophan in chocolate produces serotonin, which is antidepressant • Anandamide is thought to be an endogenous ligand for the cannabinoid receptor, the receptor in the brain that binds THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical that causes the narcotic effects of marijuana (it is estimated that you may need to eat about 25 pounds of chocolate to mimic a marijuana high) • Other compounds found in chocolate that may contribute to the chocolate high and addiction include: histamine, serotonin, theobromine, tryptophan, phenylethylamine, tyramine, and salsolinol • Triggers the release of the body’s natural opiates (pain killers) • Methylxanthines act like a diuretic, bronchyolytic, vasodilator, improve cardiac muscle performance, and muscle relaxant • Treats diarrhea, causes constipation • Does not increase serum cholesterol or LDL cholesterol • Cocoa butter is used by the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as an inactive ingredient in dermatological preparations.

Precautions and adverse effects: chocolate is stimulating and addicting for some people. It can cause migraine headaches, allergic reactions, and constipation. Animals such as dogs and cats should not eat chocolate, as they react to the theobromine and caffeine.

Acne and tooth decay really cannot be blamed on chocolate, but rather on the sugars and fats that are added to its preparations. The benefits of chocolate do not apply to milk chocolate. Enjoy it: the darker the better, and in moderation.

LOVE MAGNET

Katherine Woodward Thomas on Drawing True Love Our Way

by Debra Melani

A

fter years of experiencing love going sour, Katherine Woodward Thomas set a goal: She would marry her soul mate within a year. Her quest inspired a surprising awakening that spurred her to look deep inside for the key that would unblock love.

Thomas realized the transformation that enabled her success involved clear steps that could help anyone. Today, the licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert has guided thousands toward successful relationships via her national bestseller, Calling in “The One”: 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life, and subsequent books and seminars.

What catalyzed your Calling in “The One” professional journey?

I was 41, a card-carrying member of one of America’s largest-growing groups— the never-marrieds. I had bought into the cultural belief that a woman my age had little chance of finding a great husband. I felt anxious and resigned, trying to come to terms with it, but sad inside.

Fortunately, at the time, I was part of a small group supportive of each other’s intentions. So I set the outrageous intention that I would be engaged by my next birthday. I also recognized my longstanding pattern of attracting unavailable men who were engaged, married or alcoholics. A woman in the group said,

50

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

“Katherine, I will hold that intention with you if you permit me to hold you accountable to be the woman you would need to be in order to fulfill it.”

Her wake-up call turned my focus from running out to find love to going within to discover the barriers I had against it. Thus I began what became the Calling in “The One” process.

How does it differ from other approaches to finding love?

Many approaches focus on the external reasons love is elusive, such as all the good men are taken, men don’t like powerful women or just not having met the right person. This approach focuses more on the internal reasons—going within to discover and release one’s own conscious and unconscious barriers. For most of us, a gap exists between how much we think we want love and how much we are actually open and ready to receive it. Until we bridge that gap, we will covertly keep love at bay, and won’t even realize we are doing it.

What are the most common hidden barriers to love?

One hidden barrier is resentment. We only resent people to the extent that we’ve given our power away to them.

Uncover your role in what happened.

Even if it was 97 percent their fault and 3 percent yours, zero in on that 3 percent, because you’ll only be able to trust

yourself to love again once you’ve taken that responsibility. If you still feel resentful, you have not yet evolved beyond the person you were before.

Another centers on old agreements—the spoken and unspoken, agreements we make, usually in an emotional time—such as “I’m never going to let myself get hurt again” or “I’ll never love anyone the way I love you.”

Such agreements live in our lives as intentions. They may no longer be conscious, yet still set our course.

Another has to do with toxic relational dynamics. To find the best partnership, you need to be your best self. Maintaining a toxic dynamic drains personal power, making it hard to move forward in life. It’s vital to evolve out of this debilitating dynamic so you are in the center of your power everywhere in life.

The fourth area, and probably the most important, revolves around the core beliefs you hold about both yourself and others.

You might have a reasonably clear sense of yourself around money, career and friendship, but your core love identity might cause you to believe yourself unworthy of a quality partner. Identifying and challenging these beliefs is critical in learning how to break free from them, helping to raise your value in your own eyes and thus in others.

You believe the best way to find a needle in a haystack is to become magnetic and allow that needle to find you. How does one become magnetic to love?

Being centered in the truth of your own value and the real possibilities you hold for true love is wildly attractive. Love yearns to embrace us, but can’t come to us if it can’t come through us. When we shift into this place of possibility, we can become profoundly magnetic to love.

CYCLES OF SPIN Returning to its Heart-Healthy Origins L

by Janet Osen

ike many newly minted sports, “Spin” has at its center a near-mythical figure: its creator, Jonathan Goldstein—better known as Johnny G—by most accounts a unique eccentric with an unheralded passion for cycling.

In 1987, while training for the renowned The Race Across America bike event, a mega-marathon 3,100-mile race from Los Angeles to New York, Goldstein was struck by a car and nearly killed. It produced an epiphany: Building an indoor bike simulating the outdoor experience would create a novel workout that would incorporate cardio training and emphasize a mind-body connection.

With the formation of Mad Dogg Athletics in 1994, the Spinning craze began rolling. Rolling Stone magazine named it the newest hot exercise and by 1996 there were 1,000-plus Spinning centers in 30 countries.

True to Form

Conceived as a form of cardio biofeedback, the activity keyed on training the heart muscle aerobically using a heart

52

monitor. The original goal was to provide an “aerobic base” by working at 65 to 80 percent of one’s maximum heart rate, making the heart a more effective pump and increasing oxygen levels throughout the body.

The Spin program follows the principle that participants will train aerobically for six to 12 weeks prior to a “Race Day”—a special ride performed at a steady anaerobic threshold generally at 85 to 95 percent of maximum heart rate.

Anaerobic threshold, or AT, is the point at which the body accumulates lactic acid in the muscles faster that it can be removed.

“Aerobic base building creates a strong foundation for increasing one’s lactate threshold,” explains Lorey Pro, a master Spin instructor and assistant director of fitness and wellness at Louisiana State University. “Riders can increase their tolerance for anaerobic exercise.”

“The metabolism’s foundation is strengthened by aerobic base building.

Without it, the body will fall apart if the athlete moves right into anaerobic

threshold training,” explains Shannon Derby, a master Spin instructor and certified group fitness and personal trainer at Mountain’s Edge Fitness Center, in Boulder, Colorado.

In contrast to indoor cycling, Spin requires that exertion rates be correlated to levels based on maximum heart rates, and revolutions per minute (RPMs) or pedal strokes be kept at pre-specified levels. According to Pro, Spin should combine mind and body training by using a variety of heart rate zones to improve health, fitness and performance.

Instructors take participants through a series of rides known as Energy Zones, each serving a specific purpose like endurance, strength or recovery. Terri Arends, a master Spin instructor and group fitness director at the Jewish Community Center of Dallas, Texas, attests that without such rides, the aerobic foundation crumbles.

She likes to put riders through “kicking Spin rides and moments of Zen that allow riders to let go and find their inner athlete.”

Lost in Translation

In today’s typical Spin class, no one wears a heart monitor. While some gyms and boutique facilities offer endurance or strength rides, most conduct only interval rides featuring top 40 music selections and a loose interpretation of the prescribed movements, positions and cadence rates.

“Interval rides tend to get picked most,” observes Derby. “There are many different kinds and they are fairly easy to teach and well liked, even though that isn’t what the official Spinning program recommends.”

Del Lugo, a Spin instructor and fitness professional in Suffern, New York, who works at the nearby Torne Valley Sports Complex and Lifeplex Health Club, says he rarely sees classic Spin done anymore.

In Lugo’s world, Spin should be simply a “fun, safe experience with the instructor endeavoring to instill enthusiasm and encouragement.”

Moving Forward

One key indicator of whether a fitness activity is a trend and not a fad is the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) annual Fitness Trends survey. In 2012, Spin made ACSM’s top 20 list of fitness trends, citing it as “one of the most popular group exercise programs in the

commercial sector.” Yet it fell off of ACSM’s list last year.

Reviving the original training program may prove helpful in preventing potential Spin burnout. Workouts were originally designed to culminate each week in a meditative, low-impact recovery ride to allow for rest and recovery, which is pivotal to any successful fitness program. The key to Spin’s continuity may be in moving cycling back to its origins— re-educating participants about how best to use Spinning to maximize desired results for body, mind and spirit.

HEALING HURT A Hawaiian Mantra Lets Love Back In The Latest

LOCAL FOOD TRENDS Good at Home and On the Go

H

o’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian huna, a secret to facilitating forgiveness within; or simply, the art of forgiveness.

Four healing phrases are employed in a harmonic mantra to help “make things right” or “correct the errors”. It works to cleanse hurt feelings and relieve suffering from being in an unforgiving or unforgiven state. According to the Babylon online dictionary, Ho’oponopono is used to release problems and blocks that cause imbalance, unease and stress in the self; bring peace and balance through physical, mental and spiritual cleansing that involves repentance and transmutation; and create balance, freedom, love, peace and wisdom within individuals, social entities, the world and the universe.

Ho’oponopono Forgiveness Mantra I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

To advertise or participate in our March edition, call

561-776-8908 54

These four forgiveness phrases, both individually and collectively, help heal us and our relationships with others, especially loved ones. Each one melts hearts and heals souls. Going deeper, we can voice this mantra in communing with the divine and see the effect both within and without.

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

I am sorry for participating in this erroneous memory data.

Please forgive me for not seeing the perfection in this moment, and playing back a universal memory I have received within me that is riddled with wrongs and errors.

Thank you for cleansing me, others, the world and the universe.

I love you. Loving the sweet divine is the greatest power or energy there is in all space. I am now loving everyone involved and affected. I know that my perceptions of them are within me, where this error first occurred and where it can be eradicated.

Like planting a seed in soil that grows into nothing of our making, the divine does the work as we allow it to work through us. As we come to consistently use the Ho’oponopono mantra, we may elect to select a special word as a substitute for the whole mantra to use as a touchstone, so that when we say or think this word, we are immediately clear and clean of all the pain associated with any erroneous memory data presented. Our heart is healed and family or friends will return to relationships with a lighter heart. We do not need to understand how it works, only that it does.

JOY, GARDENS OF THE HEART

By Elizabeth Clare Prophet

T

his is a lovely little book, a part of the Gardens of the Heart series. Other titles in the series are Compassion, Gratitude and Forgiveness. This is one of those books that you want to just keep handy, whether it is on your nightstand or by your meditation cushion.

The book has a brief introduction which speaks of our relationship to joy. Everyone wants more joy but there is confusion between joy and happiness. Happiness tends to come when circumstances are such as we would want them to be whereas joy, true, deep joy comes from within.

As she states, “The key to joy is simple. There is only one source of real joy, and it is within you. True joy comes from knowing your inner reality. As you become more and more of who you really are, you no longer depend on outer circumstances for happiness and contentment. You come to know a deep joy that cannot be shaken.”

The rest of the book is a collection of sayings and quotes from her work. One thing I have come to understand in working with quotes is that the mind oftentimes dismisses what it thinks it already knows. You can read a popular quote like “real joy comes from within” and say to yourself, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that.”

But is that really true? Do I, in fact, REALLY get that? Is it a living reality in my life or just an intellectual concept I believe in? Do I know this, experientially, all the way down to the marrow of my bones? No, not really. There is still a part of me, perhaps a younger part, perhaps a wounded part that really just wants what it wants and thinks it will be happy only when it has that. So I have found it useful to really open to quotes like this and ask myself, honestly, how true is this for me, really. In doing so I invite those parts of myself that are not living that reality to come to the surface so I can be with them, know them, learn from them and if necessary heal them.

yourself and with others keeps the joy fountain flowing.

Keep your thoughts light. Let go of gossip, criticism, and judgment. Seeing and supporting the best in others is a way to reinforce your own best self. Greet everyone you meet with joy in your heart.

Open yourself fully to the possibility of a miracle of joy. Joy has the power to affect all the cells in your body.

Joy is not a permanent feeling of happiness all day long. It is an inner essence, a steady feeling of peace and contentment sustained by the presence of the Divine within you.

Now is the acceptable time for joy. Don’t wait for joy to find you – make joy happen in your life.

For the month of February I will be offering this book at Changing Times Books and Gifts at a 20% discount. It is my hope that you will come in and take a look at it for yourself.

The quotes in this little book are helpful in acting as doorways to go deeper in knowing joy. Here are a few examples: Joy is an inner quietude that anchors and centers you in the great web of life.

Joy is a key to your healing.

If joy is missing from your life, ask yourself whether there is someone you need to forgive or ask to forgive you. Being at peace with

Certified Trager Practitioner Boca Raton, FL Lic. # MA. 6678 Since 1988 (954) 675- 9553 www.tragerus.org What Happens During a Trager Session? The concern is not with moving the particular muscles or joints per se, but using motion in muscles and joints to produce positive, pleasurable feelings which enter the central nervous system and begin to trigger changes by means of many sensory-motor feedback loops between the mind and the muscles. Unlike many movement reeducation methods, the client has no task to perform, but rather becomes increasingly passive to the steady, rhythmic motions imparted by the practitioner’s hands; each o f the several thousand light rhythmic contacts, creating and deepening the feeling of lightness, freedom and ease.

Natural Awakenings Detoxifed Iodine is 100 percent natural, raw iodine in an ethyl alcohol solution. We thank all those that are benefiting from this product and enthusiastically telling us their great results.  Available only at NAWebstore.com  My wife, who suffered from extreme fatigue and other symptoms, saw a dramatic increase in energy after just a few days of taking the natural iodine drops. Now if she misses a day, she’ll end up falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon, like she used to do before taking the iodine. It works! ~ Aaron My doctor told me that I had a hypothyroid condition, prescribed medication and was happy with the follow-up test results, yet I noticed no positive effects on my overall well-being. Within two weeks of using the Natural Awakenings Detoxified Iodine, I had more energy, felt more awake and enjoyed clearer thinking and greater peace of mind. People even comment that I look younger. I am a fan! ~ Larry
