YogaFox School of Yoga in Delray Beach

H

ave you ever thought of doing a teacher training? Well it is definitely a great way to connect to yourself and change your personal practice for the rest of your life regardless of whether or not you end up teaching group classes. Delving into Yogic studies can help you get in touch with so many aspects of “Yoga” that you didn’t even know existed.

The YogaFox School of Yoga is run by Directors Keith Fox and Kelly Brookbank – both ERYT-500 instructors with over 15-20 years of experience in yoga instruction. The 200 hour Program is a diverse and well rounded curriculum bringing a very balanced presentation of all 8 limbs of yoga as well as a unique presentation of both Keith and Kelly’s backgrounds of study – including Ashtanga and Vinyasa as well as Kripalu Yoga. Further, the studies also include Nada Yoga and Bhakti Yoga – the Yogas of Sound and Devotion.

The 7 month program is one long weekend per month with homework in between ensuring the participants not only learn how to instruct a safe beginner vinyasa class but

also learn about pranayama (breath work), meditation, philosophy, and most importantly how anatomy knowledge can help in safely instructing and also practicing yoga for the rest of one’s life! The length of the program allows students with jobs and busy lives to fully participate, immerse, and retain over time.

This program is different than most as it touches on 2 very different approaches to yoga – one traditionally “physical” and one traditionally “introspective”. In doing so it reaches out to many different unique Yogis and Yoginis of all ages and backgrounds. The last class spanned from age 15 to age 65 as yoga is for all.

The next program begins June 2014. Payment plans are available and a retreat to Costa Rica is an optional part of the training.

Call Keith at 561.703.1236 or Kelly at 704.756.9245 for details. www.yogafox.com.

Student Testimonials: “Yoga Fox teacher training creates an immersion into yoga that you can't find anywhere else. I spent 7 months in training and one amazing week in Costa Rica. You really get the entire experience of yoga on and off the mat.” Jen “I just completed my yoga teacher training with Yoga Fox. I have always experienced life as a journey with dreams to chase, goals to reach, pain and loss.

On my journey, I have had experiences that I have described as life changing.

My experience with the teacher training was anything but life changing. It was in fact, life affirming. My journey has become one of bliss – active, present and curious. I am eternally grateful to Keith, Kelly and my yoga family for this gift of consciousness.” Jan

Awakening of Consciousness: Tools to help you sparkle and shine your light!

E

verything is energy including our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings. All energy vibrates, is sent out and returns to us... and therefore, the creation of personal reality. The law of attraction vibe includes all those energies as well as belief systems that are unconsciously running in the background of our consciousness.

Imagination and self-awareness are the keys to unlocking a happy and healthy life. Building a strong sense of self through self-confidence is key to remembering your contract with the Divine.

Recognize and remember that energy flows back to you, offering wisdom, knowledge, and sage advice for daily use. You can tap into this field of support. It is available to everyone. It is time to awaken your consciousness fully and focus on love for yourself and all beings.

Margaret Ann Lembo certainly continues to provide the tools to help you maintain your awareness on what you really want in your life while assisting in the release of what you don’t want. The tools range from her books, Chakra Awakening (now in five languages!) and The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals and Stones, to name a few of her published works... to her Aroma-Energetic™ Sprays and now her Chakra Awakening Jewelry™ line.

Whether you are choosing a gemstone you find at her store, The Crystal Garden established in 1988, or her jewelry, Margaret Ann recommends you match an affirmation or intention with your spiritual tool. Yes – the color of your clothes, the gemstone jewelry, aromas and so on are spiritual tools for awakening when you match an intention or affirmation for the day, week, or month.

Allow Divine Guidance to help you uncover self-knowledge and self-realization for the purpose of personal development and spiritual awakening. Use her newest jewelry with that intention and let the Feather pendant and earrings and Angel Wing pendant help you to soar to your fullest potential and fulfill your soul contract. Margaret Ann has more Chakra Awakening jewelry styles on the way so stay tuned. Her next seven pieces will be revealed this summer!

Affirm! My imagination is the key to my success. I envision my future and joyfully participate as it unfolds. I am focused. I see, sense, feel, and know the truth. I follow my intuition.

Benefits of Lymphatic Massage Therapy for Surgery

L

ymphatic drainage is a delicate form of massage to help increase lymph flow, removing harmful substances from the tissues and increasing immune function. The lymphatic system is located throughout the entire body, with its main superficial lymph node areas at the cervical, axial, and inguinal portions.

Lymph, the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, is a transparent, usually slightly yellow, often opalescent, liquid collected from tissues in all parts of the body and returned to the blood.

Its cellular component consists mainly of lymphocytes which serve as a defense mechanism by removing bacteria and toxins, and play a major role in antibody formation.

Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not closed and has no central pump. Lymph transport, therefore, is slow and sporadic, at approximately five to eight beats per minute. Lymphatic massage therapy increases the transport rate up to 100 beats per minute.

Starting with the abdominal area, special massage techniques are applied over the entire body; client will experience a relaxed and greater sense of wellbeing.

Lymphatic massage therapy is highly recommended pre- and post-surgery, and will ensure easier surgery and recovery while minimizing swelling.

GYROTONIC® SATNAM Fitness Studio and Boutique

O

blio Wish invites you to enter her world — a world where you will feel good and look good, and bring that “good” back to your own world!

Wish, the owner of GYROTONIC® SATNAM (www.gyrotonicsatnam.com) 561-650-0304 in West Palm Beach, is a certified GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, Kundalini Yoga, Yamuna Ball Rolling and Melt® Hand and Foot instructor. And she knows — from experience — the steps that will help us become more healthy, more fit and more conscious.

HER ADVICE? Take these eight steps to a happier, healthier, more productive you!

1) Move. Move in some way every day. Take a walk. Reach and stretch and Melt®. Don’t think you have to pound your body to achieve fitness. Do something you enjoy.

2) Drink enough water. Sip water all day. Water, clean, clear and oxygenated is the key to hydration. (Wish particularly likes Kangen® Water of Life).

3) Lean towards a more plant-based diet. Eat more greens. Focus meals on vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds and beans.

4) Meditate. Quiet your mind. Clear your intentions. Take a few inner minutes each day for you.

5) Fresh air and sunshine. Every day, make a clear and conscious choice to start your day with some good, deep breaths — lungfuls of fresh air — and a life-enhancing dose of pure sunshine.

6) De-clutter. All that stuff! Take a second look. If you don’t need it, gift it, donate it, share it or sell it. Letting go of what you don’t need is good for you.

7) Be compassionate and passionate. Every day, in every way – to others, for others and on your own behalf.

8) De-stress. Stress is toxic. Meditation, exercise, kindness and compassion, all help.

Award-winning Author Dr. Daniel Nuchovich to Share the Truth about Healing Arthritis, Pain & Injuries at Free Community Lectures

V o

W

A

rthritis, pain and injuries adversely affect the quality of life, sleep and work for anyone who experiences them. Worse, all these symptoms and disruptions end up overwhelming the adrenal glands causing a decline in the immune system, poor resistance to diseases, weight gain, brain chemistry imbalance and even hormone decline with subsequent adverse effect in the aging process. Yes, pain can age you faster and make you sick. Chronic pain conditions also create, in addition, an unnecessary socioeconomic burden for both individual and society. Understanding the causes, pathways and mechanisms of various types of arthritis, injuries and pain, therefore, is critical.

In my award-winning book The Palm Beach Pain Relief System: A Drug-free, Clinically-proven, Natural Approach to Healing Chronic Pain, Arthritis and Injuries, I explain that while pain and arthritis may appear to occur suddenly, in many cases they have been developing slowly due to years of poor or stressful lifestyle habits. The standard conventional medical protocol for pain conditions has been multiple pills and injections but we now understand that these mask the symptoms, providing only a false sense of relief. Although relief is important, ignoring the actual root of the condition allows the illness to progress and worsen.

Besides, as good as conventional medicine can be it does have many serious disadvantages, side effects and limitations especially when it comes to addressing lifestyle diseases like arthritis. The most regrettable aspect of the modern medicine path is that patients don’t have control of their healing: they lose their independence, bouncing from doctor to doctor for prolonged treatments without success. I know, because this is what I did.

So among all of the disappointments you may have experienced to date, The Palm Beach Pain Relief System offers new hope! Using the incredibly viable options provided by natural medicine and integrating them with conventional medical treatments—only as necessary—is the single best way to accomplish maximum improvement and repair safely and in the shortest amount of time.

Since my model can be easily replicated in every town of this country, please share my book with your attending physician and inquire about their openness to helping you customize a program using the best of both worlds. Even if you don’t have the support of your physician, you can design a program for yourself using the information and knowledge I share in my book. This is how you can empower yourself to become pain free!

Dr. Nuchovich will be presenting his program and conducting a book signing on Thursday, June 5th at 6:30pm and Tuesday, June 17th at 4:30pm at Jupiter Institute of Healing Arts. Call (561) 746-1205 for more information and read more about Dr. Nuchovich’s book at www.palmbeachpainreliefsystem.com.

Vacation is defined as “an extended period of recreation, usually involving travel away from home.” When you consider that vacation time for most Americans is only one to three weeks, leaving the remaining 49 – 51 weeks each year dedicated to our vocation and the rest of our usual life schedule, Steve Job’s advice begins to make a lot of sense: “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to… love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.”

The dictionary defines vocation as: • a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation • a person's employment or main occupation Some people are so happy in their chosen vocation that they really prefer the time they spend in their field.

“It seems strange to say this, but it is true: Coming back to Vegas to work is like going on vacation for me.” - Celine Dion

I feel the same way as Celine. Being a Reflexologist and Life Wellness Coach for the past four decades has been the ultimate calling in my life.

I get to meet people on a soul level (literally!) I also get to help them release physical blockages and unleash their untapped power and creativity.

Knowing I have the skills and knowledge, right at my fingertips, to facilitate wellness and help raise the vibrational quality of my client’s lives is beyond gratifying! It reminds me of Seth Godwin’s suggestion:

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”

While I wholeheartedly agree, I also know through my work that many people still single out vacations as times in their lives when they have felt the best.

Why do these few days completely overshadow the rest of the year?

Here are three reasons we hold vacations in such high regard: Expectations - We expect our vacations to be fun!

Focus- During our vacation we focus on the relationships of those we are with.

Appreciation- We take the time to appreciate all

the little details of life that we normally overlook – like the beauty of the sun rising and setting.

Vacations, then, are not so much a destination as a state of mind. In my work with my clients and students I share some truths that can help bring that vacation state of mind to your everyday life: • What we expect, we create! Our minds are very powerful. Our thoughts, both positive or negative, bring more of the same into our lives • What we focus on grows stronger in our lives. Listening to upbeat music, watching uplifting movies and TV shows and spending time with friends and family who are happy in their lives bring more experiences into you life that evoke similar positive feelings.

• When we express appreciation, we feel a sense of joy. Appreciation and love are the same feeling! The more we find ways to appreciate the people, places and things in our lives, the more joy we allow into our experience.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” - Confucius

Discover your true calling so that, filled with great expectations, you can appreciate each day as it unfolds. Many of the thousands of Reflexologists I have trained tell us they came to our program to create a path for themselves toward a new, more fulfilling career. As we teach in our Certification Training Programs, they found their path by shifting their expectations, re-focusing on having positive experiences and expressing appreciation at every opportunity.

I wish you a joyous journey along your own path to discovering the vocation of your heart.

newsbriefs The Enlightenment Intensive: The Ultimate Journey of Self Discovery!

Coming to South Florida…

July 24th – 27th, 2014

T

he Enlightenment Intensive is a 3 day residential retreat set up to give one the best opportunity to experience directly the Truth for oneself. It is not just an average workshop.

It is a quest for the ultimate truth, an actual Enlightenment experience.

Who Am I? What Am I? What Is Another? What Is Life?

Work with one of the fundamental life questions above in your pursuit of Self, Truth, and Consciousness. These experiences are not meant to be read about but experienced for yourself. All the answers are inside, why look elsewhere? The retreat environment is carefully structured to assist you in this endeavor, concentrating all your efforts towards this one goal.

The retreat itself will be held in a scenic and restorative location.

What is it we know when we know the truth? Is it The Truth, or is it just something true which may be different for everyone? Normal experience is indirect, filtered through our minds, bodies and emotions. In Enlightenment, the layers of interpretation peel away and reality is present for us. Memories of the past and concerns for the future dissolve and we are left with the fullness of the moment,...the world dissolves and everything becomes clear.”

In practicing the Enlightenment Technique, you engage in the process of bringing forth what is inside you. No one can make the truth occur for us, but each of us can surrender to it and we can share ourselves, just as we are, with each other. The result of this sharing is intimacy, openness, and love. This love which grows present among us is every bit as precious as the truth itself.

Enlightenment does not occur in some distant, mythic land. It is available to you in every moment. The gift of the Enlightenment Intensive is to bring this possibility closer to you. The power and the beauty of this work reside entirely in the sincere hearts of the participants; It is your love of truth, of each other, which opens the door. In this spirit, I invite you to join us.

The Intensive will run from 7:30 PM Thursday evening until Sunday at 9:00pm. The Intensive will be held at The Kashi Ashram in Sebastian, Florida, 80 miles north of Palm Beach Gardens. It is a secluded, scenic, and sacred location, perfect for our task and will feature a delicious vegetarian cuisine. Call for pricing, discounts and scholarships.

Hosted and facilitated by Jamar, the owner and director of The Jamar Enlightenment Center located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He is a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practitioner, Meditation teacher, Life-Support facilitator, Transformational Breath Practitioner, Pranic Healer and Enlightenment Master. His spiritual quest encompasses over 25 years’ experience in the self-help field and was the natural evolution of his own inner search for Truth. He has taught over 6000 yoga classes and facilitated another 3000 workshops, events, and retreats. He brings a contagious enthusiasm and love for the gift of yoga, sharing it as a way to connect with you Higher Self. He supports all that have a desire to wake up and have a direct experience of the Truth for them Self… Enlightenment.

For over 20 years, The Jamar Enlightenment Center has prided itself in “Growing a conscious, safe community that invites an adventurous, authentic exploration of Truth and Self.”

The Center is a place for those seeking to find a peaceful place in the most obvious—and overlooked—place; within oneself. Visit them in their newly expanded location, The Jamar Enlightenment Center; Where Truth Happens!

Conveniently located ¼ mile west of I-95, at 4595 Northlake Boulevard, Villa Palm Plaza, Suite 107, PBG.

Palm Beach Edition

here is nothing quite like the soothing, gentle sound of the perfect wind chime. They have been used for centuries throughout the world for various purposes. Archeologists have discovered the earliest chimes, dated back to prehistoric times, were made of bones and shells and are believed to have been used to ward off evil spirits and animals.

During modern times wind chimes are mostly used for their healing and calming effects on the mind, body & spirit of the listener. Research has shown that the vibratory tones created by wind chimes can have the impact of relieving stress, helping to promote a quiet, relaxed mind, and a creating a sense of inner peace.

Wind chimes have also been used in the art and science of Feng Shui, which concerns itself with the flow of energy in our environment. The gentle, soothing sounds of wind chimes can have a huge impact on the energy flow of one’s home or business. They also can be used as a Feng Shui cure by helping to counterbalance unpleasant sounds, like that of nearby traffic or noisy neighbors.

One of the leading manufacturers of quality wind chimes is Woodstock Chimes. They are my favorite chime company and we have been selling them here at Changing Times Books & Gifts for over twenty years. The range of their precision-tuned tones, sizes, styles, and colors is impressive. With close to 300 different chimes to choose from, Woodstock Chimes, created by GRAMMY award winner musician Garry Kvistad thirty-five years ago, is now one of the most recognized chime manufacturers in the world today.

They offer chimes from 6” in length to a staggering 88” in length.

There are chimes with semi-precious gem stones, some with Christian, Asian and Feng Shui themes, chakra themes, table top chimes, meditation chimes, and chimes tuned to the notes of specific melodies, to name just a few.

They also have chimes that are actually a chime within a chime.

Probably one of my personal favorites of all their chimes falls into this category. It’s called ‘Space Odyssey’ and has twelve silver tubes of different lengths designed to quadruple the octave doubling effect.

It is 55” in length and sounds absolutely beautiful.

All of their chimes are designed to withstand the elements and offer you decades of enjoyment. As a retailer I have been impressed with not only the quality of their product, but also their integrity and commitment to customer service in supporting the end user of their chimes.

Woodstock chimes make a wonderful addition to your porch or patio area, wherever you like to sit and relax with friends and loved ones, or to help create that special space just for yourself.

he Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal TherapyTM (ATMAT) are founded on the ancient Mayan technique of abdominal massage which is an external non-invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted, restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi. ATMAT addresses the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best know for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the prevention and treatment of benign prostate enlargement in men, and for relief of many common digestive disorders. Based on over thirty years of training and experience in massage, naprapathy, herbology, and spiritual healing, Dr. Rosita Arvigo developed these techniques, which now bear her name. This modality incorporates a holistic approach to health care, which including massage, anatomy and physiology, herbology, nutrition, and emotional and spiritual healing.

Rainforest Remedies are safe and effective, with applications for a variety of health issues. They are formulations by Dr. Arvigo based upon her studies with the highly respected shaman and healer Don Elijio Panti of Belize. These medicinal herbs grow wild in the mineral-rich soils of the Belizean rainforest. Detailed information about the herbs used in these formulas can be found in two books written by Dr. Arvigo, Rainforest Remedies: 100 Healing Plants of and Sastun: My Apprenticeship With a Maya Shaman.

MALE TONIC is a Rainforest Remedy that is traditionally used to support male health, prostate, kidney, bladder and libido. It contains Mane vine root (Agonondra racemosa), Balsam bark (Myroxylon Pereira) and corn silk Zea Mays). These three herbal remedies together have the properties of being an antiseptic to the urinary tract, it removes mucus from the kidneys and bladder, improves sexual performance and stamina in men, relieves prostate swelling, clears prostate of accumulated debris, promotes circulation to the sexual organs and clears chronic urinary tract infections in men and women both.

or several years now authentic Native American ceremonies have been made available to the general public in Palm Beach county. The legitimacy of these ceremonies is established through the experience, training, and heritage of Grandfather Rick McBride, whose Spirit name is Cante Lute (Schantay Lou-tuh), which means "Red Heart."

Ceremonies presented are drumming, drum healing circles, burning pine cone, pipe, Medicine Wheel, and others. While these ceremonies are predominately attended by women, there is much here for men also.

Grandfather Rick also teaches Native American spiritual lifeways and wisdom, all of which work together with ceremony to help one build emotional/psychological balance, confidence, and self-esteem.

In order for one to think "outside the box," one first has to get outside of the box. The box here being mainstream group-think, that which influences so much of our lives, whether we agree with it, or admit to it. One of those mainstream boxes tells men they have to "be strong," without telling them how, or in what way. There are also the boxes of You Must Hide Your Emotions, You Are Never Wrong, and the most insidious two of all, You Cannot Change for the Better and it’s traveling partner, You Must Be in Control at All Times.

There are many misconceptions and mis-teachings about Native American Lifeways. One of these deals with what has come to be known as "warrior" medicine. This (mis)understanding of warrior has been erected in the mainstream image of absolute conqueror and implies unyielding domination. Indian Country does not see it that way. True warriors are compassionate, patient, and in touch with their own emotions. They are mindful of the needs of others and will do their best to help them.

It is unfortunate that mainstream Euro-American society never developed any kind of rights of passage for its young people the way indigenes have. It is equally unfortunate mainstream society approaches life more as a material experience than one of the heart.

Little wonder there is so much crime, violence, addiction, greed, and that uniquely mainstream experience known as the midlife crisis.

Native American ceremonies and teachings are particularly adept at helping men and women navigate the increasingly difficult waters of mainstream society. Strength derived from compassion, peace resulting from patience, acceptance (of self and others) through humor are but a few of the lessons to be learned, especially by men.

Eventually the mask will come off. The question is: Does it come off voluntarily, which results in a better life, or does it break off in pieces because one has not learned how to bend?

Yummy Berries Cut Heart Attack Risk by a Third

E

ating three or more servings of blueberries and strawberries a week may help women reduce their risk of a heart attack, according to research from the University of East Anglia, in collaboration with the Harvard School of Public Health. The berries contain high levels of powerful flavonoids called anthocyanins, which may help dilate arteries, counter buildup of plaque and provide other cardiovascular benefits.

Published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the study involved 93,600 women ages 25 to 42 that completed questionnaires about their diet every four years for over 16 years. Those that ate the most berries had a 32 percent reduction in heart attack risk compared with those that ate them once a month or less, even if they ate a diet rich in other fruits and vegetables.

“This is the first study to look at the impact of diet in younger and middle-aged women,” remarks the study’s lead author, Aedín Cassidy, Ph.D., head of the university’s nutrition department. “Even at an early age, eating more of these fruits may reduce risk of a heart attack later in life.”

Saw Palmetto Combos Combat Enlarged Prostate

T

hree studies published in 2013 support the effectiveness of saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) extract for the treatment of prostate inflammation and other symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly called enlarged prostate. In addition, both lycopene, a dietary carotenoid with strong antioxidant value, and selenium, an essential trace element that promotes an optimal antioxidant/oxidant balance, have been shown to exert beneficial effects in BPH.

Researchers from Italy’s University of Catania studied 168 patients with prostate enlargement among nine urological medical clinics. Those taking a combination of saw palmetto, selenium and lycopene experienced greater reductions of inflammation markers and reduced risk of prostate cancer after three and six months of treatment.

In an Australian study from the University of Queensland’s School of Medicine of patients with BPH, 32 men took an encapsulated formula containing saw palmetto, lycopene and other plant extracts, while 25 men were given a placebo. After three months of treatment, men receiving the herbal formulation experienced a 36 percent reduction in related symptoms, while the placebo group showed an 8 percent reduction. The herbal supplement group also showed a 15 percent reduction in daytime urination frequency and an almost 40 percent reduction in nighttime urination frequency.

The long-term effectiveness of saw palmetto supplementation was reinforced in a Russian study of 38 patients with early prostate enlargement. After 10 years of receiving 320 milligrams of saw palmetto extract per day, researchers found no progression of the condition among the patients.

Tapping Acupressure Points Heals Trauma in Vets

E

motional Freedom Techniques (EFT) may be an effective treatment for veterans that have been diagnosed with clinical post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a study published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. EFT involves tapping on acupressure points while focusing on traumatic memories or painful emotions in order to release them.

As part of the Veterans’ Stress Project, an anonymous clinical study comprising more than 2,000 participants, 59 veterans with PTSD were randomly assigned to either receive strictly standard care or also experience six, hour-long, EFT sessions. The psychological distress and PTSD symptoms showed significant reductions among veterans receiving the EFT sessions, with 90 percent matriculating out of the criteria for clinical PTSD. At a six-month follow-up, 80 percent of those participants still had symptoms below the clinical level for PTSD.

According to Deb Tribbey, national coordinator for the Veterans’ Stress Project, PTSD symptoms that can be resolved with the combined therapy include insomnia, anger, grief, hypervigilance and pain.

Mindfulness Meditation Reduces the Urge to Light Up

M

indfulness meditation training may help people overcome addiction by activating the brain centers involved in self-control and addictive tendencies, suggests research from the psychology departments of Texas Tech University and the University of Oregon.

Scientists led by Yi-Yuan Tang, Ph.D., studied 61 volunteers, including 27 smokers, randomly divided into groups that either received mindfulness meditation training or relaxation training. Two weeks later, after five hours of training, smoking among those in the meditative group decreased by 60 percent, while no significant reduction occurred in the relaxation group.

Brain imaging scans determined that the mindfulness meditation training produced increased activity in the anterior cingulate and the prefrontal cortex; regions associated with self-control. Past research led by Tang showed that smokers and those with other addictions exhibited less activity in these areas than those free of addictions. The current study previously determined that myelin and brain cell matter in these two brain regions increases through mindfulness meditation.

Beets Beat Down Blood Pressure

T

wo small studies have linked beets with lower blood pressure. A study from the University of Reading, in England, served beet-fortified bread or bread without beets to 23 healthy men. Those that ate the fortified bread experienced reduced diastolic blood pressure and less artery stiffness during the six hours afterwards.

Australia’s Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute studied 15 women and 15 men, divided randomly into groups that consumed either 500 grams of a placebo juice or beets with apple juice. During the 24 hours after consumption, the researchers noted a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure of four to five points among the men drinking the beet juice.

A GOOD MIDLIFE DIET PROLONGS HEALTH IN LATER YEARS

A

Harvard Medical School study found that how well women age in their 70s is linked to the way they ate earlier in life. Researchers started with 10,670 healthy women in their late 50s and followed them for 15 years. Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the results saw fewer chronic diseases among women that followed diets heavy in plant-based foods during midlife; these women were also 34 percent more likely to live past 70. Those that ate most similarly to the Mediterranean diet had even better outcomes—a 46 percent greater likelihood of living past 70 without chronic diseases.

Eleven percent of the subjects qualified as healthy agers, which researchers defined as having no major chronic diseases, physical impairments, mental health problems or trouble with thinking and memory. According to lead author Cecilia Samieri, Ph.D., midlife exposures are thought to be a particularly relevant period because most health conditions develop slowly over many years.

Happy Father's Day

R

esearchers from the University of Miami found that compassionate love and faith in a compassionate Higher Power increases healing and reduces disease progression among HIV patients.

They studied 177 HIV patients over a 10-year period, tracking biological measures and health behaviors and collecting in-depth data interviews. The scientists coded five criteria of compassionate love derived from the Working Model of Compassionate Love, developed by Lynn Underwood, Ph.D.

The progression of HIV disease was reduced among patients that gave and received the most compassionate love. These patients exhibited both a greater level of the immune-boosting white blood cells known as CD4+ T helper cells and a reduced HIV viral load, the measure of HIV in the blood.

Father Factor

Involved Dads Make for Smarter, Happier Kids It’s well known that involving fathers from the start in children’s lives has a significant positive impact on their development, including the greater economic security of having more than one parent. Yet, there’s more to the “father effect”.

Numerous studies have found that children growing up in a household with a father present show superior outcomes in intelligence tests, particularly in nonverbal, or spatial, reasoning that’s integral in mathematics, science and engineering. The IQ advantage is attributed to the way that fathers interact with their children, with an emphasis on the manipulation of objects like blocks, roughhousing and outdoor activities, rather than language-based activities.

A study of Chinese parents found that it was a father’s warmth toward his child that was the ultimate factor in predicting the child’s future academic success.

A recent Canadian study from Concordia University provides new insights into a father’s impact on a daughter’s emotional development, as well. Lead researcher Erin Peugnot concluded, “Girls whose fathers lived with them when they were in middle childhood (ages 6 to 10) demonstrated less sadness, worry and shyness as preteens (ages 9 to 13) compared with girls whose fathers did not live with them,” he says.

Connectedness Ranks Above Power and Fame It seems that fame and fortune are less important to us than our connections with fellow human beings, after all.

A study conducted by Queendom.com and PsychTests. com in 2012 and 2013 applying their proprietary Values Profile Test with 2,163 people showed they only moderately valued money and power, at best, which took a backseat to social values on a personal level. This revelation comes on the heels of another study on career motivation that similarly showed a drop in participants’ consuming desire for money and power in the workplace.

The researchers at Queendom.com assessed 34 separate facets within six categories of values—social, aesthetic, theoretical, traditional, realistic and political. The five top-scoring facets were empathy, family and friends, appreciation of beauty, hard work/diligence, altruism and the importance of helping others. Financial security came in 24th place and power was near last at 29th in importance. Ethics/morals placed 10th.

Honeybee Hit

Scientists Nab Fungicide as Bee Killer Colony collapse disorder, the mysterious mass die-off of honeybees that pollinate $30 billion worth of crops in the U.S., has been well documented, with toxic insecticides identified as the primary culprits. Now, scientists at the University of Maryland and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have expanded the identification of components of the toxic brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen and decimating the bee colonies that collect it to feed their hives.

A study of eight agricultural chemicals associated with increased risk of infection by parasites found that bees that ate pollen contaminated with fungicides were three times as likely to be infected. Widely used fungicides had previously been accepted as harmless for bees because they are designed to kill fungus, not insects.

Dennis vanEngelsdorp, the study’s lead author, states, “There’s growing evidence that fungicides may be affecting the bees on their own, highlighting a need to reassess how we label these agricultural chemicals.” Labels on pesticides warn farmers not to spray when pollinating bees are in the vicinity, but such precautions have not applied to fungicides.

Lawn Upload

Grass Releases Surprising Amounts of CO2 Which emits more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide: a cornfield or a residential lawn? According to researchers at Elizabethtown College, in Pennsylvania, it’s the grass. David Bowne, an assistant professor of biology, published the study results in the Soil Science Society of America Journal. After measuring carbon dioxide released from each setting, the scientists found that urban areas deemed heat islands may have a smaller overall impact than previously thought, compared with suburban developments.

Previously, the heat island effect has been perceived as a phenomenon that occurs only in cities, where the mass of paved roads, dark roofs and buildings absorb and concentrate heat, making cities much warmer during hot days than other areas.

Both carbon dioxide releases and soil temperature were measurably higher in residential lawns than in croplands and higher temperatures are directly associated with carbon dioxide efflux. Bowne says, “As you increase temperature, you increase biological activity—be it microbial, plant, fungal or animal.” Increased activity leads to more respiration and increased carbon dioxide emissions.

Imperiled Parks

Laws Permit Oil and Gas Drilling in Iconic Public Lands News that the U.S. Department of the Interior will allow drilling for oil and gas in a proposed wilderness area in southern Utah’s Desolation Canyon puts a spotlight on the practice. A report by the Center for American Progress reveals that 42 national parks are at risk, including 12 where oil and gas drilling is currently underway and 30 where it could be in the near future.

Among the threatened wild places are iconic American national parklands, including Grand Teton, in Wyoming, Mesa Verde, Great Sand Dunes and Dinosaur National Monument, in Colorado, Santa Monica Mountains, in California, Glen Canyon, in Arizona, Carlsbad Caverns and Chaco Canyon, in New Mexico, Everglades and Gulf Islands, in Florida, Arches and Canyonlands, in Utah, and Glacier, in Montana.

The reality is that all public lands, including national parks and wildlife refuges, are potentially open to oil and gas leasing unless they are designated as “wilderness”, the highest form of land protection designated by the government.

Tips to Clean Air Inside a Vehicle We look out for the quality of the air we breathe indoors and out and we aim to drive in the most fuel-conscious manner to keep emissions down. What about the air quality inside our vehicles during necessary hours on the road?

The Ecology Center, an Ann Arbor, Michigan, nonprofit, attests that extreme air temperatures inside cars on especially hot days can potentially increase the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and release chemicals and other ingredients from new-car dashboards, steering wheel columns and seats into the interior air. Some manufacturers are responding by greening their interiors: Toyota is using sugarcane to replace plastic; Ford has turned to soy foam instead of polyurethane foam; and Land Rover is tanning its leather with vegetables, not chromium sulfate.

Carbon monoxide seeping in from engine combustion can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and fatigue and even trigger asthma. The potential exists “if there’s a leak in the system between the engine and the rear of the vehicle and there’s even a small hole in the body structure,” advises Tony Molla, a vice president with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

“Have the exhaust system inspected by a certified technician to make sure everything is secure and not rusted or leaking.”

Also have the cabin air filter checked. Part of the ventilation system, it helps trap pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases in air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems and prevents leaves, bugs and other debris from entering the interior, according to the Car Care Council. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend changing it every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. (Find a range of

It’s always beneficial to have fresh air entering the vehicle when driving.

Open a window slightly or blow the air conditioning on low in the vent position when not in heavy traffic. “Don’t run it on the recycle or max A/C mode for long periods to make sure you’re getting fresh outside air in and flushing out any contaminants in the cabin air,” adds Molla.

Using sun reflectors and visors helps keep interior temperatures down.

Check local motor vehicle departments for state policies regarding tinted windows, which can reduce heat, glare and UV exposure. It always helps to park in the shade.

THE HEALING POWER OF STORY How Telling Our Truths Can Set Us Free

by Judith Fertig

A

fter his deployment in Iraq, U.S. Marine Captain Tyler Boudreau returned home in 2004 with post-traumatic stress syndrome and an emotional war wound that experts now call a “moral injury”. He could only sleep for an hour or two at night. He refused to take showers or leave the house for long periods of time. He and his wife divorced. “My body was home, but my head was still there [in Iraq],” he recounts.

At first, Boudreau tried to make sense of his conflicted feelings by writing fiction. Then he wrote a detailed, nonfiction analysis of his deployment, but that didn’t help, either. In 2009 he wrote a memoir, Packing Inferno: The Unmaking of a Marine, that came closer to conveying his personal truth. “I needed to get back into the story,” he says, so he could pull his life back together in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Like Boudreau, we all have stories— ongoing and ever-changing—that we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives.

28

They can help us heal and powerfully guide us through life, or just as powerfully, hold us back.

In 1949, Sarah Lawrence College Professor Joseph Campbell published The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he outlined a master monomyth.

It involves leaving everyday life and answering a call to adventure, getting help from others along the way, facing adversity and returning with a gift, or boon, for ourselves and others. It’s a basic pattern of human existence, with endless variations.

Power to Heal the Body

How does telling our truth help heal our body? Professor James Pennebaker, Ph.D., chair of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, is a pioneer in the mindbody benefits of story, which he explores in Opening Up: The Healing Power of Expressing Emotions. In the late 1980s, while consulting for the Texas prison system, Pennebaker discovered that when suspects lied while taking polygraph tests, their

heart rate rose, but when they confessed the truth, they relaxed.

“Our cells know the truth,” writes microbiologist Sondra Barrett, Ph.D., who also blogs at SondraBarrett.com, in Secrets of Your Cells, “Our physiology responds to what we’re thinking, including what we don’t want people to know.”

When we are afraid to tell a story and keep it in, “Our cells broadcast a signal of danger,” she explains. “Molecules of adrenalin, along with stress hormones, connect with receptors on heart, muscle and lung cells—and in the case of longterm sustained stress, immune cells.”

We experience increased heart rate, tense muscles, shortness of breath and lower immunity when we’re stressed.

She notes, “When we release the stories and feelings that torment us, our cells respond with great relief and once again become havens of safety.”

We need to tell our stories even in facing life-threatening illness, and maybe because of it. Dr. Shayna Watson, an oncologist at the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario, in Canada, encourages physicians to listen to patients.

“In the name of efficiency,” she reports in an article in Canadian Family Physician, “it’s easy to block out patients’ stories and deal only with the ‘facts’, to see the chat, the time and the stories as luxuries for when there is a cancellation. The study of narrative tells us, however, that in these easily neglected moments we might find more than we expect; there can be understanding, relationship building and healing—the elements of our common humanity.”

A current problem is but a dot on the entire timeline of a person’s existence. By keeping their larger story in mind, patients can find a wider perspective, with the strength and resolve to heal, while the physician can see the patient as a person, rather than a diagnosis.

Power to Heal Emotions

“Telling your story may be the most powerful medicine on Earth,” says Dr. Lissa Rankin, the author of Mind Over Medicine, who practices integrative medicine in Mill Valley, California. She’s tested the concept firsthand. “So many of us are tormented by the insane idea that we’re

separate, disconnected beings, suffering all by our little lonesome selves,” she observes. “That’s exactly how I felt when I started blogging, as if I was the only one in the whole wide world who had lost her mojo and longed to get it back. Then I started telling my story—and voilà! Millions of people responded to tell me how they had once lost theirs and since gotten it back.”

They did it by telling their stories, witnessed with loving attention by others that care. “Each of us is a constantly unfolding narrative, a hero in a novel no one else can write. Yet, so many of us leave our stories untold, our songs unsung,” remarks Rankin. “When this happens, we wind up feeling lonely, listless and out of touch with our life purpose. We are plagued with a chronic sense that something is out of alignment. We may even wind up feeling unworthy, unloved or sick,” says Rankin, who blogs on related topics at LissaRankin.com.

Power to Heal a Family

Sometimes, writing a new story can help keep families connected. Kansas City, Missouri, author and columnist Deborah Shouse took an unplanned and unwanted, yet ultimately rewarding journey with her mother through Alzheimer’s disease.

Shouse discovered that as her mother was losing her memory and identity through dementia, crafting a new narrative helped her family hold it together, a process she details in Love in the Land of Dementia.

“You have to celebrate the person who is still with you,” Shouse says, noting we may discover a different, but still interesting, person that communicates in ways other than talking. She recommends employing a technique she calls The Hero

“By sharing our stories together and finding common ground, we lay the groundwork for world peace and much more.” ~Rev. Patrick McCollum Project, which she developed with her partner, Ron Zoglin. It uses words, photos and craft supplies in what Shouse terms “word-scrapping” to generate and tell a new story that helps keep the personal connection we have with our loved one and make visits more positive. She shares more supportive insights at DeborahShouseWrites.wordpress.com.

Sharing an old story may also provide a rare link to the past for a person with dementia. “Savor and write down the stories you’re told, even if you hear certain ones many times,” Shouse counsels. “By writing down the most oftenrepeated stories, you create a legacy to share with family, friends and other caregivers.”

Power of the Wrong Story

Our thoughts are a shorthand version of a longer life story, says author Byron Katie, a self-help specialist from Ojai, California, who addresses reader stories via blog posts at ByronKatie.com. Sometimes we tell ourselves the wrong story, one that keeps us from realizing our full potential, while making us miserable at the same time.

Examples might include “I will always be overweight,” “My partner doesn’t love me” or “I’m stuck here.”

Katie’s book, Who Would You Be Without Your Story? explores how we

often take what happens in our lives, create a story with negative overtones, believe that version of the story and make ourselves unhappy. “The cause of suffering is the thought that we’re believing it,” she says. By questioning our stories, turning them around and crafting new and more truthful ones, we can change our lives.

Power to Heal the Community

Humorist, speaker, and professional storyteller Kim Weitkamp, of Christiansburg, Virginia, knows that the power of story creates wider ripples. She sees it happen every time she performs at festivals and events around the country. “It is naturally in our DNA to communicate in story form,” she advises. “The power of story causes great revelation and change in those that listen.”

She cites supporting studies conducted by psychologists Marshall Duke, Ph.D., and Robyn Fivush, Ph.D., at the Emory Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life, in Atlanta, Georgia.

“They found that children—at ages 4, 14, 44 or 104, because we’re all children at heart—are more resilient and happy and rebound faster from stress when they know their family stories.

They know they’re part of something that’s bigger than themselves that people in their family have kept going,” says Weitkamp.

“When people leave a storytelling event, they leave telling stories,” she says with a smile, “and that results in happier and healthier families and communities.”

hen President John F. Kennedy said in 1961 that the U.S. should commit to sending a man to the moon and return him safely by the end of the decade, few suspected the bounty of technological spinoffs that such National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) space missions would yield.

Today, many of NASA’s research advancements, as well as technologies developed outside the space program, are put to good use in everyday life. Of particular interest are products used in fitness workouts.

ABI Research, a technology market intelligence company, revealed the growing popularity of consumer health and wellness technologies in its latest market projections for wearable, health-related devices. Estimates are that 80 million wearable monitoring devices, including heart monitors and biosensors that read body temperature and motion, will be sold by 2016.

When Clint, a global market research firm, conducted its most recent Fitness and Technology Survey, its findings showed technology at work. Based on 745 online interviews with people in seven countries, 72 percent of exercisers embraced some type of technology, including smartphone apps, to support their fitness routines two or more times a week.

In recent years, amateur and professional athletes have increasingly benefited

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

napalmbeach.com

from technological advances that help them chart, improve upon and customize their fitness routines. Tracking fitness progress and weight loss is now just clicks away with personal devices such as a Wi-Fi scale, which accurately measures weight, body fat percentage and body mass index. Online graphs chart the individual’s progress.

While the typical setting for measuring blood pressure and heart rate used to be in a physician’s office, hospital or pharmacy, new digital wrist blood pressure and heart monitors now allow exercise enthusiasts to do it themselves, wherever they are, helping ensure they are not exceeding the safety parameters of their fitness programs. User-friendly digital pocket pedometers and wireless activity-during-sleep wristbands both work in conjunction with a downloaded app to allow self-monitoring. Exercisers can track steps; distances walked cycled or swum; calories burned; total active minutes; and how long and how well they sleep.

In some U.S. fitness centers, members have an option of working with an automated, virtual, personal trainer. This almost-do-it-yourself approach to professionally guided fitness begins with a survey of an individual’s lifestyle and goals to create a personalized fitness regimen.

Each time exercisers go to the center, they insert a key into a “smart trainer”, gen-

erating the day’s 30-minute customized workout. The technology focuses primarily on helping clients manage weight and maintain muscle.

Other technologies, such as medicalgrade, pneumatic [air] compression boot systems, are facilitating at-home recovery for hip and knee surgery patients and quicker muscle recovery for serious athletes. Air-filled chambers remain inflated as pressure cycles sequentially move from the foot up the leg. The cycles flush out waste and replenish blood supplies to the muscles.

More complex bio-analyzing systems retrieve feedback from the body’s electromagnetic fields, the multiple energy meridians and the frequencies of the body’s cells and organs. “Such systems are largely used by chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists and acupuncturists,” says Loran Swensen, CEO of Innergy Development, which owns AO Scan, maker of the Magnetic Resonance Bio-Analyzer.

For people that struggle with traditional workouts or physical limitations, whole-body vibration technology may be a solution. “When you stand on the oscillating platform, the body reacts to the vertical vibratory stimulus with an involuntary muscle contraction; depending on the speed, muscles can react up to 23 times per second,” advises Linda Craig, co-owner of Circulation Nation, in Greer, South Carolina. Similar platforms are becoming commonplace in chiropractic practices.

Consumer applications of medical devices have led to the home use of additional sophisticated technologies like laser therapy. Successfully used for more than 30 years in Europe to treat trauma, inflammation, overuse injuries and cosmetic issues, as well as to provide pain relief and healing, some forms have recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

With 129,397,925 gym members worldwide according to a recent International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association report, it’s safe to predict that consumer demand ensures even more significant technological advances are in our near future.

inger-songwriter Jack Johnson’s touring concerts have almost always doubled as fundraisers for local environmental nonprofits. “Early on, we recognized that we could not only fill a room, but also raise funds and awareness for nonprofit groups we believe in,” says Johnson. Then, as he started playing larger venues, “I realized the power of touring to connect our fans with local nonprofits in every town we played.”

Johnson and his wife, Kim, also founded two environmentally focused charitable foundations, and during the past five years, all of his tour proceeds have been donated to them, in turn going to hundreds of environmental education nonprofits worldwide.

The enabling commercial success began in 2001 when his debut album successfully established this Oahu, Hawaiian’s trademark mellow surf-rocker style. Since then, he’s released five more studio albums, including the most recent, From Here to Now to You.

“While I have so much gratitude for the support our music receives, for me, music has always been a hobby, a side thing. It grew into a way to work in the nonprofit world. Being engaged in environmental education almost feels like my real job, and the music’s something we’re lucky enough to provide to fund related causes,” says Johnson.

As the size of his audiences grows, so does the size of his potential environmental footprint. On the road, Johnson’s team works with the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance to fuel all tour trucks, buses and generators. Comprehensive conservation efforts including refillable water bottle stations, plus organic cotton T-shirts and reusable or biodegradable food service ware are standard at his shows. “We try to be environmentally conscious every step of the way,” says Johnson. “Our record cases and posters use recycled paper and eco-friendly inks. We record albums in my solar-powered studio. It’s an ongoing learning process and conversation as we find even better ways to do things.”

Johnson’s team often requests increased recycling efforts and use of energy-efficient light bulbs at venues, advancing long-term eco-changes everywhere they perform. He explains, “Our thinking is that once they change the light bulbs for us, they’re not going to go back to the old light bulbs after we leave. Many venue managers tell us they have stuck with the improvements because they realize that they’re easy to do.”

Marine pollution and single-use plastics are issues high on the musician’s environmental list, but the topic he’s most passionate about is food. In his home state of Hawaii, 90 percent of food is imported. “The idea of supporting your local food system is a big deal in our family and we take that point of view on the road because it’s a vital issue anywhere you go,” he says.

At each tour stop, all of the band’s food is sourced within a specific radius. Johnson also works with radio stations to promote regional farming, helping to build community and fan awareness of the benefits of supporting local farms. At home, Johnson has solar panels on the roof and drives an electric car. The entire family, including three children, participates in recycling, worm composting and gardening. “It’s fun to take what we learn at home on the road and bring good things we learn on the road home,” he says.

The Swiss Family Robinson is one of the family’s favorite books. “We love figuring out ways to apply ideas,” he remarks.

“For our first water catchment system, we got 50-gallon drums previously used for oil and vinegar from a bread bakery and attached spigots. The kids were so excited to watch them fill the first time it rained.”

Johnson finds that all of the facets of his life work together.

For example, “Music is a social thing for me. I get to share it with people. Surfing is where I find a lot of balance; it’s a more private time. But I also come up with lyrics and musical ideas while I’m surfing.”

Johnson’s approach to inspiring all generations to be conscious of the environment is to focus on the fun, because it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the big picture. Understanding that his own kids are among the future stewards of planet Earth, he works diligently to instill values of creativity and free thinking.

Johnson reflects, “When I look at things that are in the world now that we would have never dreamed possible when we were growing up, I recognize how much can change in one generation.

Looking for answers that aren’t there yet—things nobody’s thought of—that’s what’s going to solve problems.”

“

ost kids growing up in Chattanooga have crossed the Tennessee River via the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge; far fewer have been on the river beneath it,” remarks Mark Baldwin, owner of area paddle sports outfitter L2 Boards. Using stand up paddleboards (SUP), he loves guiding adults and children on their own up-close discoveries of the river’s cliffs, caves, fish, turtles and birds.

Waterways are enchanting at any age, and SUP recreation naturally tends to inspire creative quests. Its physical and developmental benefits are a bonus.

“The stand up paddleboard is the bicycle of the water. Because paddleboarding can be done at any age and fitness level, the whole family can enjoy it together,” says Kristin Thomas, a mother of three in Laguna Beach, California, SUP race champion and executive director of the Stand Up Paddle Industry Association.

“Children are fascinated by the play of the water and the motion of the board. Parents can acclimate an infant to flat-water paddling by simply

creating a well of towels onboard, with the baby snuggled between the feet, looking up at them,” advises Lili Colby, owner of MTI Adventurewear, near Boston, Massachusetts, which makes life jackets for paddle sports. She notes that U.S. Coast Guard law requires that children 30 pounds and under wear infant life jackets to provide special head and neck support that turns a baby’s face up with an open airway within three seconds of entering the water.

It’s a good idea to first practice paddling short distances in shallow waters near the shore. Toddlers are more likely to lean overboard to play in the water, Colby cautions, so engaging in natureinspired games along the way will help occupy them onboard.

“Young children introduced to water sports in the context of positive family interaction typically become eager to paddle on their own,” observes Tina Fetten, owner of Southern Tier Stand Up Paddle Corp., who leads a variety of SUP experiences throughout New York and northern Pennsylvania. “If they are

-

strong swimmers, I bring them on a large board with me and teach them the skills for independent paddling.”

Although SUP boards look like surfboards, stand up paddling is commonly taught on flat water, making it easier and more stable than surfing. Still, swimming competence and adult supervision are prerequisites to independent paddling according to paramedic Bob Pratt, co-founder of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, which leads water safety classes in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

“Parents should outfit all children with a life jacket, Coast Guard-approved for their age and weight, as well as a leash, which attaches to their ankle and the board with Velcro straps,” Pratt says. “If children fall into the water, a tug of the leash enables them to quickly retrieve their largest floatation device, the board.”

Experts agree that success is relatively easy, so children build confidence quickly.

The sport can be adapted to suit individual needs and positions, including moving from standing to sitting or kneeling, says Fetten, who teaches adaptive SUP lessons in a community pool. As she sees firsthand, “All children, especially those with disabilities, benefit from the empowering feeling of attaining independent success.”

“A water-based sport is the healthiest outlet children can have,” attests Wesley Stewart, founder of Urban Surf 4 Kids, a San Diego nonprofit that offers free SUP and surf clinics for foster children. “Being on the water requires kids to focus on what they’re doing and has the ability to clear their minds and give them freedom. It’s like meditation. Plus, SUP is a low-impact, cross-training cardio activity; it works every part of the body.”

Beyond the basic benefits, SUP keeps children engaged by offering endless opportunities to explore the geographic and ecological diversity of different types of waterways. SUP activities and levels can grow along with children; teens can try yoga on water, competitive racing and the advanced challenges of surfing. Fitness is a bonus to the rewarding ability to propel one’s self through the water.

Living Off the Land Low- and No-Cost Ways to Feed a Family

by Avery Mack

Whether it’s membership in a food co-op, tending a backyard garden or balcony tomato plant or foraging in the woods for edibles, living off the land means cleaner, fresher and more nutritious food on the table.

T

o switch from running to the market to stepping into a home garden for fresh produce, it’s best to start small. Smart gardeners know it’s easy to be overwhelmed by a big plot so they plan ahead with like-minded friends to swap beans for tomatoes or zucchini for okra to add variety. If one household is more suited to freezing excess harvests while another cans or dehydrates, more trades are in the offing. Start kids by having them plant radishes, a crop that will give even the most impatient child quick results.

“You can’t do everything yourself,” counsels Kathie Lapcevic, a farmer, freelance writer and teacher in Columbia Falls, Montana. “I have a huge garden, expanded now into about 7,000 square feet, that provides 65 percent of what our family eats,” she says. “On the other hand, I can’t imagine life without nut butter and found I can’t grow Brussels sprouts. A few trips to the store are inevitable.”

Lapcevic plants non-GMO, heirloom varieties of seeds in her chemicalfree garden. She adds a new variety or two each year and reminds peers that it

takes a while to build good soil. Three years ago, she also added pollinator beehives on the property. Their honey reduces the amount of processed sugar the family uses.

From Libby, Montana, Chaya Foedus blogs on her store website PantryParatus.com about kitchen selfsufficiency. “Foraging is a good way to give children a full sensory experience,” she remarks. “We turn a hike into a mission to find and learn about specific foods, where they come from and what to do with them.” To start, select one easily identifiable item for the kids to pick. “In Libby, that’s huckleberries,” says Foedus. “Similar to blueberries, they grow on a bush, so they’re easy to see and pick. Huckleberries don’t grow in captivity—it’s a completely foraged economy.”

Michelle Boatright, a graphic designer and hunter of wild plants in Bristol, Tennessee, learned eco-friendly ways to forage from a game warden friend.

Five years later, her bookcase holds 30 books on edible plants—she brings two with her on excursions. “When in doubt, leave a plant alone. It’s too easy to make

napalmbeach.com

a mistake,” she advises. “Know how to harvest, too—take only about 10 percent of what’s there and leave the roots, so it can grow back.

“For example, ramps, a wild leek, take seven years to cultivate,” says Boatright. “Overharvesting can wipe out years’ worth of growth. In Tennessee, it’s illegal to harvest ramps in state parks.

Mushrooms are more apt to regrow, but leave the small ones.”

As for meat, “I was raised to never shoot a gun, but to make my own bows and arrows,” recalls Bennett Rea, a writer and survivalist in Los Angeles, California.

“Dad used Native American skills, tools and viewpoints when he hunted. Bow hunting kept our family from going hungry for a few lean years and was always done with reverence. It’s wise to take only what you need, use what you take and remember an animal gave its life to sustain yours.”

Rea uses several methods for obtaining local foods. “Living here makes it easier due to the year-round growing season. For produce, I volunteer for a local CSA [community supported agriculture] collective. One hour of volunteering earns 11 pounds of free, sustainably farmed, organic produce— everything from kale to tangerines to cilantro.

“Bartering is also an increasingly popular trend,” he notes. “I make my own hot sauce and trade it for highend foods and coffee from friends and neighbors. Several of us have now rented a plot in a community garden to grow more of our own vegetables. I only buy from stores the items I can’t trade for or make myself—usually oats, milk, cheese and olive oil.”

Truly good food is thoughtfully, sustainably grown or harvested. It travels fewer miles; hasn’t been sprayed with toxins or been chemically fertilized; is fresh; ripens on the plant, not in a truck or the store; and doesn’t come from a factory farm. The old saying applies here: “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”

Cooking with Wild Foods Foraging 101

by Avery Mack

C

hristopher Nyerges, of Pasadena, California, author of Guide to Wild Food and Useful Plants and Foraging California, has spent 40 years teaching others to find free food safely as part of an ongoing curriculum (SchoolOfSelf-Reliance.com). He knows, “Wherever you live, common weeds and native plants can supplement food on the table.”

He particularly likes to use acorns as a food extender, grinding them into a powder and mixing it 50/50 with flour to make bread and pancakes. For greens, he likes lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album), a weed that crowds out native plants, but is easily found, nutritious and versatile. He uses the leaves like spinach and adds the seeds to soup or bread batter. He likens it to quinoa.

Nyerges characterizes himself as a lazy gardener. “Forget having a tradi-

tional lawn. Grow food, not grass,” he says. “I like plants that take care of themselves and then of me.”

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) and New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) are good edible ground covers. Purslane leaves add a lemon-pepper crunch. “If the neighbors complain, plant some nasturtiums—they’re pretty and good to eat, too,” he notes. Varieties of cactus, like the prickly pear, are also edible; remove the thorns and cook the pads with tofu or eggs.

“I’m all for using technology, but know how to get by without it, too,” Nyerges advises. “There’s no such thing as total self-sufficiency. What we can be is self-reliant and knowledgeable users.

Begin by learning and applying one thing.” He’s found, “There aren’t directions to follow; the path to self-reliance is different for each person.”

by Chaya Foedus 4 Start small.

4 Get permission before picking on private property.

4 Make sure no chemical fertilizers or pesticides were used.

4 It’s easy to mistake a poisonous lookalike for an edible plant. Learn to identify both before picking.

4 Skip the mushrooms at first—learn from an experienced mushroomer before going solo.

4 Always taste-test at home; the woods are not the place to cope with a surprise allergic reaction.

4 Make a day of it. Enjoy the outdoors, learn more about native plants and invite kindred spirits along on the hunt.

Unleashing Unlimited Potential with Panache Desai

by April Thompson

B

orn into an East Indian family in London, England, Panache Desai grew up steeped in spiritual practices like meditation. Though recognized by spiritual teachers as possessing a special gift, Desai rejected his spiritual foundation as a teenager, trading it for the excitement of London’s rave music scene of the 1990s before moving to America.

It wasn’t until he was 22 and living in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice Beach that the pain of the way he had rejected his true inner nature reached a crescendo. In opening himself up to the possibility of the divine, Desai underwent a spiritual awakening that has led him to dedicate his life to helping others make their own journey from self-rejection to contentment.

Unaffiliated with any one religious or spiritual tradition, Desai works with simple, yet powerful principles of energy to help free people from self-imposed limitations and unlock their potential. His first book, Discovering Your Soul Signature: A 33-Day Path to Purpose, Passion & Joy, just released, is a departure from his earlier focus on creating meditation CDs and other audio recordings.

38

What was the key turning point in embracing your life’s calling?

Every time I would visit a spiritual teacher as a kid, they would say, “We’ve been waiting for you.” But I just wanted to be normal and was also skeptical; not every well-intentioned person is necessarily leading you home. I reached a turning point when I knew something had to change. I told myself that if this thing called God really exists and if I’m here to be a messenger, I have to experience it personally.

In that moment, I began to undergo a transformation that culminated in a direct experience of the divine; an infinite ocean of energy vibrating with unconditional love. I felt part of what every spiritual teacher has been telling the world for thousands of years: that the true nature of reality is love, a love that expresses itself through all life forms. That experience allowed me to accept my role of helping others see and achieve their potential.

How does the universal energy you speak of affect us and how can we shift our dance with it?

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

We are vibrational beings inhabiting a vibrational universe. Yogis and mystics from traditions throughout time have known this. The subtlest form of vibration is the soul, which is overlaid by the emotional, with the physical as the outermost layer of energy. Because the emotional layer can accumulate a density that enshrouds our soul’s light and potential, it’s important to address it.

Energy is like water—it wants to flow and can shift states at any moment. Judging or rejecting any aspect of our genuine identity disrupts that flow of energy. For example, if instead of being available to feel your anger when it arises you repress or deny it, that accumulating emotion acquires density and over time, becomes rage. But if you can learn to slow down and lean into the emotion, the anger can wash through and out of you and energy again flows freely.

By allowing ourselves to acknowledge, experience and release these emotions without judgment, we are clearing the obstacles to our authentic self, what I term one’s “soul signature”.

How is discovering our soul signature related to finding our calling?

The soul signature is our purest potential expressed. You can have a calling to be a writer, but unless you are connected to who you are at the deepest level, your writing won’t have the same impact.

Accessing our soul signature is a process. We didn’t end up where we are overnight, and it can take time to get back to that place where we can express our truest selves by working with the techniques of energy transformation described in my book.

What are good first steps for someone newly initiating a spiritual practice?

The most powerful tool is our breath.

Witnessing and honoring our breath in every moment allows us to transform every day into living meditation.

FEET How to Make Walking Part of Everyday Life

by Lane Vail

Local Farmers and Other Hard-Working Heroes Guarding Our Right to Healthy Food and Water

H

ippocrates called walking “man’s best medicine,” and Americans agree: According to the U.S. Surgeon General, walking is America’s most popular form of fitness. It’s free, convenient and simple. The Foundation for Chronic Disease Prevention reveals that 10,000 daily steps help lower blood pressure, shed pounds, decrease stress, and reduce the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Here’s how to rev up the routine and stay motivated.

Practical Tips

Breathe. Belly breathing calms the parasympathetic nervous system, expands lung capacity and improves circulation. Inhale through the nose, fill the belly and expel through the mouth, advises Asheville, North Carolina, resident Katherine Dreyer, co-founder and CEO of ChiWalking.

Try new techniques and terrain. “The body is smart and efficient. It must be constantly challenged in safe ways and tricked into burning more calories,” says Malin Svensson, founder and President of Nordic Walking USA. She suggests taking the stairs or strolling on sand to strengthen the legs and heart.

Dreyer recommends ascending hills sideways (crossing one foot over the other) to engage new muscles and protect the

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

calves and Achilles tendons. She also suggests walking backwards for 30 steps every five minutes during a 30-minute walk to reestablish proper posture.

Push with poles. Compelling the body forward with Nordic walking poles can burn 20 to 46 percent more calories than regular walking, reports Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport. Svensson explains, “Applying pressure to the poles activates abdominal, chest, back and triceps muscles, which necessitates more oxygen and thereby raises the heart rate.”

The basic technique is: plant, push and walk away.

Mindful Tips

Feel the Earth move under your (bare) feet. Improve mood, reduce pain and deepen sleep by going outside barefoot, says Dr. Laura Koniver, of Charleston, South Carolina, a featured expert in the documentary, The Grounded. “The Earth’s surface contains an infinite reservoir of free electrons, which, upon contact with the body, can neutralize damage from free radicals,” she says.

Notice nature. Alexandra Horowitz, author of On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes, finds walking outdoors infinitely more engaging than exercising in the gym.

Seek out woodsy hikes, scenic waterways or historic downtowns, and “open up to experiencing the world,” she says.

Practice moving meditation. To lighten a heavy mood, “Imagine your chest as a window through which energy, fresh air, sunshine, even rain, can pour into and through you as you walk,” says Dreyer.

To ground a scattered mind, she suggests focusing on connecting one’s feet with the Earth.

Creative Tips

Make fresh air a social affair. A group walk can boost performance levels of participants, says Dennis Michele, president of the American Volkssport Association, which promotes fun, fitness and friendship through noncompetitive, year-round walking events.

Horowitz suggests strolling with friends and sharing sensory discoveries.

“A fresh perspective can help tune you into the great richness of ordinary environments often overlooked,” she says.

Ditch the distraction of electronic devices. Horowitz views walking texters as “hazards and obstacles, non-participants in the environment.” Australian researcher Siobhan Schabrun, Ph.D., reveals the science behind the sentiment in her recent University of Queensland study. The brain, she found, prioritizes texting over walking, resulting in “slowing down, deviating from a straight line and walking like robots, with the arms, trunk and head in one rigid line, which makes falling more likely.”

Walking a dog brings mutual benefits.

Dr. John Marshall, chief oncologist at Georgetown University Hospital, in Washington, D.C., prescribes dog walking to his cancer patients, asserting it yields better outcomes than chemotherapy. For maximum enjoyment, strive to hit a stride, advises Carla Ferris, owner of Washington, D.C. dog-walking company Wagamuffin.

Be a fanny pack fan. Fanny packs, unlike backpacks, which can disturb natural torso rotation, comfortably store iden-

tification, phone, keys and water, says Svensson. Ferris agrees: “Walks are so much more enjoyable hands-free.”

Walk while you work. Much of the independent and collaborative work at Minneapolis finance company SALO emerges as employees walk slowly on ergonomic treadmill desks. “Being up, active and forward-moving on the treadmill benefits productivity,” says co-founder Amy Langer. Alternatively, consider investing in a cordless headset or standing desk.

“Most anything you can do sitting, you can do standing, and supporting your own body weight is almost as beneficial as walking,” she says.

A study reported in the journal Diabetologia suggests that sedentary time combined with periods of moderate-tovigorous exercise poses a greater health risk than being gently active throughout the day. Dreyer’s mantra? “The body is wise. Listen when it says, ‘Get up and walk a bit.’”

JOURNEY TO MATURITY Setbacks Make Boys Into Men

by Nick Clements

W

e all know hard-charging young men that have their foot planted firmly on the accelerator. They claim that easing off would damage their career and be an admission of failure. They are wrong. Those enjoying early successes can grow up overstressed by trying to stay on the fast track at any cost. These alpha boys are doing what they think others want them to do. In many cases, they are influenced by subtle and overt pressures from parents, peers and celebrity lifestyles, as well as advertising and video games.

As a consequence, these men, obsessed with superficial goals, are emotionally stunted, controlling and unable to form long-term relationships. The good news is that if they can recognize these symptoms and want to change, they may be ready to mature into an alpha wolf, a whole different kind of man.

An essential catalyst for this change usually comes from experiencing personal wounding: being overlooked for a promotion, feeling redundant, losing a friend or status or perhaps sacrificing a former identity to parenthood.

Ultimately, the true test is how he faces such failure and deals with his emotions without labeling himself as weak. The hallmark of mature manhood is how a guy acknowledges his diminishment, not how he manages success.

When he stops hiding from himself, signs of his emerging as a mature hero, an alpha wolf, will appear.

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

He’ll recognize that he makes mistakes, absorb and acknowledge his vulnerability, admit he doesn’t know all the answers and become comfortable with this loss of control. These are the lessons a man must learn to become a more realistic, whole and three-dimensional individual. How he reacts to setbacks and takes responsibility for his actions molds character and helps him take his rightful place in society, rather than a false position.

Instead of being obsessed by competing for things and one-upmanship in the material world like an alpha boy, the alpha wolf grows up by adding strong spirituality and compassion to his life skills. He sees the bigger picture, and by viewing people as friends rather than rivals, is better able to forge mature, loving relationships and be a better father.

Our sons need to be exposed to emotionally intelligent role models and discussions of attendant values and traits.

It’s not a simple or easy path, but it’s an essential process for boys and men that benefits them and everyone in their lives.

Nick Clements is an inspirational speaker, workshop leader and author of a trilogy of books on male spirituality and rites of passage, including his recent novel, The Alpha Wolf, A Tale About the Modern Male.

FORGIVE AND BE FREE, A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO RELEASE, HEALING & HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

By Ana Holub

T

here are few things in this world that can propel us along on our life’s journey as forgiveness. There are few things that can hold us back from experiencing all the joy life has to offer than a lack of forgiveness.

Ana Holub’s book is a wonderful contribution, regardless of where you might be in relationship to the forgiveness process.

And equally important, regardless if the forgiveness challenge is towards someone else or yourself.

It has been said that the spiritual path is not for wimps. It is commonly referred to as ‘The Warrior’s Path” because of the great courage and humility it takes to be willing to let go of the past.

As Ana writes in the section called, ‘Going Home’:

“For me, forgiveness occurs when I realize I’ve abandoned love and truth and I just want to go home. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to see everyone involved as an equal child of God. I begin with prayer and honesty. Deep emotions follow and flow, loosening up all my misconceptions about myself and the world.”

Ana combines her own experiences and those of her clients with the principles of A Course In Miracles, Radical Forgiveness as taught by Colin Tippin, energy and breath work, the Ho 'oponopono prayer among others to present a clear and workable system to navigate through this extraordinary important work.

Drawing from her twenty years of counseling experience she is able to support the reader through common blocks and levels of resistance.

“At this point, you may be asking, “How am I ever going to get to the deepest places of pain? I always feel numb or want to escape before I get there.” To answer this question, I use H.O.W.: honesty, openness, and willingness.

“We need honesty – direct, uncompromising honesty – to reveal to ourselves the beliefs we are carrying from the past.

We also need lots of truth-telling to distinguish what is real from what we thought was true but is actually false. We must be absolutely honest with the places inside our mind that we’ve hidden with denial up to this point; otherwise, no further healing can occur.

“To this honesty, we add openness and willingness – the experience of revealing to Spirit our darkest thoughts, with trust that we will not be attacked or die in the process. We open to trust in divine love as the ultimate savior of our troubled little human self, not necessarily with any religious dogma – though you can bring it if you feel more comfortable – but with sincerity and a deep desire for inner peace.”

This book is full of specific exercises, helpful tools and practical insights to facilitate the forgiveness process. I highly recommend it.

For the month of June 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.

Pain-Free Pooch Five Natural Therapies that Work

by Jennifer Kachnic

Because dogs won’t always let us know when they’re hurting, some people assume they don’t experience pain the same way we do, but that’s not the case. Instincts retained from their wild heritage will generally prompt them to hide pain as it’s a sign of weakness.

T

he truth is that arthritis and muscle or joint injuries are just as uncomfortable for dogs as they are for us, and many canine illnesses generate significant pain. While conventional medications can ease discomfort, they’re not the only or even the best options in many cases.

Alternative therapies can be helpful in managing and relieving pain and work best as part of a whole body wellness program designed for a dog’s individual needs. To that end, always consult with an integrative veterinarian before starting any new treatment. Together, practitioner and owner will note that some of the following modalities may be contraindicated in some situations—for example, massage should never be performed on or near a tumor.

44

Canine Massage: Dogs love massage because they crave being touched. Physical contact from another being provides a calming effect and brings comfort. Skin, the largest sense organ in the body, is loaded with sensory receptors and nerve endings that register touch, temperature and pain, and send information to the brain. Massage therapy relaxes muscles and also stimulates endorphins, increases circulation, elevates oxygen levels, flushes toxins, helps with inflammation, strengthens the immune system and accelerates healing. All of these benefits can contribute to effective pain management.

Acupuncture and Acupressure: Both of these time-honored modalities are based on the concept of keeping vital energy flowing through the body and seek to

Palm Beach Edition

stimulate key points along the energy meridians beneath the skin. Acupuncture involves the insertion of small needles at these points, while acupressure uses fingers to apply pressure to the same points. Both modalities are widely known to assist in managing pain and anxiety.

Energy Healing: Here, the practitioner improves the flow of energy in an animal’s body using a range of gentle and powerful natural therapies. During a treatment, the trained healer sends subtle energy through the hands to promote physical and emotional balance and healing. While conventional medicine follows the belief that treatments for disease or injury must be strictly biological, energy medicine works to restore the patient’s health by treating the mind, body and spirit in nonphysical

ways. Energy healing modalities available for dogs include Reiki, qigong, Healing Touch and Tellington Touch.

Cold Laser Therapy: Developed more than 20 years ago, cold laser therapy has become a popular alternative treatment around the world for aches and pains in dogs. It directs highly concentrated coherent light waves to muscles, tissues and organs, reducing inflammation and muscle spasms. It’s also applied to disc and other spine-related issues. Low-level cold laser therapy is painless, noninvasive and takes only minutes.

The effects are similar to those provided by non-steroidal medications, with negligible negative side effects.

Hydrotherapy: The benefits of swimming are renowned. When dogs swim, they feel a resistance to movement, which makes a vigorous five-minute swim virtually equivalent in energy expended to a five-mile run.

Some dogs like swimming even better than running. Hydrotherapy, which includes exercise on an underwater treadmill combined with swimming, is particularly helpful. The effect on senior dogs is especially dramatic, affording them a painless and enjoyable way to move about and exercise.

Water’s natural buoyancy supports the dog, lessens stress on joints, facilitates greater movement and provides a safe and healthful form of exercise for those suffering injuries, disease or pain.

The best choice of therapies for an individual animal will depend on the dog’s condition and recommendations by the family veterinarian. Selected and practiced properly, these complementary modalities can make a major impact in a canine’s physical and emotional well-being, while minimizing or even eliminating the need for medications.

MELATONIN

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

M

elatonin is the primary hormone of the pineal gland (pronounced “pine-eel” because it looks like a little pinecone). Melatonin helps maintain normal circadian rhythms, that is, the normal daily and nightly rhythms of sleep and wakefulness. Melatonin starts as the amino acid tryptophan, which is biochemically converted to serotonin, and then to melatonin. All this happens mostly at night in the pineal gland. Melatonin synthesis is inhibited by exposure to light, and stimulated by periods of darkness, all through a neural pathway that connects the retina of the eye back to the pineal gland. The body’s highest level of melatonin occurs in the early evening, thus preparing one for sleep. Actually, the retina also makes a tiny amount of melatonin, as does, bone marrow, the gastrointestinal tract, and bile from the liver; in fact, the gastrointestinal tract produces proportionally more melatonin than the pineal.

This interesting fact occurs with several of our hormones that were once thought to be primarily made in the brain, but have been found to also come from our digestive tract (yes, everything is interconnected). Melatonin secretion probably decreases with age, though how much is not known for sure, as various research studies have produced conflicting results. The liver metabolizes it and the kidneys excrete it.

Regardless of when you take melatonin, it will make you sleepy; this is called a hypnotic and sedative effect. It will also lower body temperature slightly, which also contributes to sleep.

Melatonin is thus a “chronobiotic”, that is, a biochemical that synchronizes the body’s inner clock. Melatonin also seems to work well for some people for jet lag, especially when traveling east across two or more time zones. It may also help some people who work night shifts to regulate their sleep cycle.

Melatonin seems to work in other ways:

• Immunomodulating: stimulates cytokine production by T-helper cells, including interleukin-2 and gamma-interferon, increases the numbers of T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and eosinophils (these are all cells and biochemicals that work for our immune system)

46

Palm Beach Edition

Melatonin interactions with other drugs: •

•

•

• •

Drugs that increase melatonin: caffeine, cimetidine, fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and tricyclic antidepressants May increase the risk of bleeding when used with blood thinners May increase the effects of lowering blood pressure with antihypertensives Chasteberry increases melatonin secretion NSAIDS such as ibuprofen can decrease melatonin

Precautions/side effects: •

•

Should not be taken by pregnant or nursing mothers as it may affect the fetus/child May cause disorientation, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, seizures, bleeding

Dosages: Oral doses of as low as 0.3 mg have been effective, but the average dose of 5-10 mg seems to be best for most people for sleep, taken about 30 minutes before sleep. There are two types of melatonin, that which comes from animal pineal glands, and that which is made synthetically. The animal melatonin is not exactly the same as our human hormone and may have contaminants. Man-made synthetic melatonin is identical to ours. All of these are over-the-counter, and do not need a prescription. There is one similar prescription medicine available: Rozerem (Ramelteon), which selectively binds to receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the brain, the internal master clock which regulates sleep. It does not act by general central nervous system depression like other sleeping pills, therefore it has no potential for abuse or addiction like most of them.
