newsbriefs Superior Health Tops Normal Health

A

fter closing his raw food restaurant/quantum center, Nuage Café, Thierry Browers has been lecturing and educating consciouslyawakened health enthusiasts about that special lifestyle that sets people free from all degenerative dis-eases and illnesses. To him, and many other world health leaders such as Dr. Brian Clement, Dr. Richard Anderson, Dr. Gary Null, Professor Arnold Ehret, Dr. Gabriel Cousens and Dr. Carey Reams, the body is a highly sophisticated bio-electrical machine that requires the proper fuel and maintenance to operate efficiently. Once optimized, it becomes strong enough to repair and heal itself, becoming inhospitable to all degenerative dis-eases and illnesses.

It is not God’s intention for us to suffer from pains and miseries. They are the direct consequences of self-inflected injuries caused by unnatural lifestyles and disobedience of the Divine Rules. Everything in Nature is governed by very simple mathematical laws.

When one becomes in-tuned with those laws, freeing him/herself from all material and spiritual obstructions, he/she becomes like a flower, radiant and beautiful, synchronized with the Cosmos, expressing the loving message of God. For a private consultation, call 561-674-8527 or email Nuage@USA.com.

Project Connect

T

here is a great new social experience coming to Palm Beach and its name is Project Connect! The goal is to pair special needs kids, age 6 and over with teen mentor volunteers. Palm Beach Synagogue and Rabbi Scheiner are hosting events starting with teen mentor meetings.

Any teen wishing to volunteer and earn community service hours can come to learn about sensitivity training, communication skills, and being a mentor to kids in your area who have the need to be social in a mainstream environment. We all know families with kids whether through school or community organizations that can benefit from making friendship connections in a fun social setting, so we are asking for people in the community to refer special needs kids to enjoy our events which are free and include exciting entertainment, team building activities, arts and crafts ,music, refreshments, and most of all connecting in a fun atmosphere! Our goal is to have parents connecting and organizations connecting as well as kids and teens connecting and we need your participation to succeed. Our second event is on Sunday, March 30th,at 2:00 p.m. You can make a difference just by sharing this information with your friends. This initiative is done in partnership with Yachad, Friedman Commission for Jewish Education and the YAD Program.

Miriam Greenberg is the Program Director and she is also the mother of a son, Benny, who has been diagnosed with developmental delay and being on the autistic spectrum..."as a mom to a child with special needs, I know how important it is to give kids the opportunity to be in a social setting that encourages friendships with mainstream mentors...events where the social stigma of being different is met with sensitivity...and where parents can connect too...a great bridge that I am proud to help build."

For information about Project Connect or to RSVP to events, please call Didy Waks at 347-300-8130 or Miriam Greenberg at 786-614-4089. The address of Palm Beach Synagogue is 120 North County Road, and their phone number is 561-838-9002

newsbriefs CHANGE YOUR STORY, CHANGE YOUR LIFE Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools To Achieve Personal Transformation

W

e all have a story, but what we often don’t realize is that we are the storytellers, and we can rewrite the story at any time to make it more satisfying. In Change Your Story, Change Your Life: Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools to Achieve Personal Transformation (Findhorn Press/May 2014/ $17.95) clinical psychologist, Jungian analyst, and shamanic practitioner Carl Greer has written a practical guide for transformation using the overlooked tool of the unconscious mind.

Drawing on his knowledge of shamanism from both North American and South American indigenous trainings and his background in Jungian analytical psychology, Greer presents exercises for examining our current story and techniques for working with the archetypal energies that power it. Greer helps us to tap into the wisdom and power of the unconscious mind.

Greer explains his method for dialoguing and journaling inspired

by Jungian active imagination and his knowledge of shamanic journeying. By venturing into unseen worlds usually hidden from our awareness, we can identify, understand, and work with the various energies that both influence our stories and determine the themes that reoccur in our lives. Then, we can ensure that the changes we want to make will last until we are ready to change the story once again.

Providing invaluable information about working with archetypal energies encountered in nature and dreams and during shamanic journeys, Change Your Story, Change Your Life is a practical and engaging guide for anyone looking to achieve transformation. .

About the author: After focusing on business for many years, Carl Greer, PhyD, PsyD earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, and then became a Jungian analyst. The shamanic healing work he does is drawn from a blend of North American and South American indigenous trainings and is influenced by Jungian analytic psychology. He has trained with Peruvian shamans and through Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s Healing the Light Body School, where he has been on staff. He has worked with shamans in South America, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ethiopia, and Outer Mongolia. A clinical psychologist, philanthropist, Jungian analyst, and shamanic practitioner, Carl Greer, PhyD, PsyD, teaches at the Jung Institute in Chicago and is on the staff at the Lorene Replogle Counseling Center. www.carlgreer.com CHANGE YOUR LIFE, CHANGE YOUR STORY: Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools to Achieve Personal Transformation by Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD ISBN: 978-1-84409-464-6 May, 5, 2014 ($17.95)

newsbriefs The Procedure That Changes Lives: Reconnecting the physical with the spiritual

A

s humans, it is important to realize that we are comprised, essentially, of three distinct states. There is the physical form, the mental or energetic form, and finally the spiritual self, which is formless, immaterial, perfect and infinite. When speaking of health we must keep all three in mind.

Today’s modern healthcare system, for the most part, addresses only the physical or mental healings, when in reality all health comes from spirit.

My story begins when I was 22 years old. At the time I was attending chiropractic school and living a healthy lifestyle. A few years earlier I had convinced my parents to see their local chiropractor for health care. While they had a positive experience, something drastic happened that changed my view completely: Both of my parents started to become sick. My mom began suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and my father had debilitating hip pain. I thought to myself “How could this be?”—Especially since they had been getting regular adjustments for years.

After visiting their medical doctors, I found out that they were being pushed into surgery as “their only option.” I pleaded with my parents to let me investigate and find some answers before they agreed to such invasive procedures. This led me down a path that has truly changed my life. It was during this time that I discovered something called Upper Cervical Care—a specialized area of Chiropractic that deals with the most

fragile and critical part of the spine—the neck. I found story after story of persons with failed medical and chiropractic cases going to Upper Cervical doctors and getting astounding results.

I told my parents about my discovery and convinced them to drive 30 minutes to the nearest Upper Cervical chiropractor.

I went with them for their first session and was in shock at the difference of this initial visit. My parents were used to getting a set of x-rays and then receiving a few swift turns of the neck and maybe a force or two on the lower spine. That is not what happened in this office. This time, the doctor took extremely specific and unusual x-rays, and then spent what seemed like an hour looking over the films, drawing lines and equations on the films. Finally when it was time for the adjustment, it didn’t require a rapid turning the neck or any popping of the vertebrae. It was a very light and gentle. It only took but a few seconds and then she told them to rest on their back.

After the visit, my parents were even more skeptical. They didn’t think anything of it and thought they wasted their money.

But soon they would be proven wrong. As it turns out, that one gentle adjustment was the only one either of them needed in that first month for ALL of their pain to disappear.

On top of that, my mother proceeded to quit all of her heart medications and lost about 50 pounds of weight! I was so amazed at their results that I decided to become an Upper Cervical Chiropractor myself and have found that the words of Dr. Clearance Gonstead are true, “It is amazing what one adjustment can do if applied right.” One adjustment performed properly CAN change your life. Using Upper Cervical Care I have seen amazing transformations with people struggling with migraines, vertigo, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, and much more. People are getting their lives back.

But perhaps the most amazing thing about Upper Cervical Care is how it relates to your Spirit.

The Spine and Spiritual Growth It is a common belief that during the

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

lost years of Jesus (when he was 14-30) that he spent much time with the Essenes, a large mystical group throughout Judea.

The Essenes had many rituals and exercises to help them get closer to God. One such ritual was spinal manipulation. Since the sacred kundalini energy rises up from the tailbone through the spine to the 7th chakra.

Many ancient cultures believed that keeping a healthy, aligned spine was essential for spiritual growth and enlightenment. There is a very strong likelihood that Jesus had his spine manipulated before starting his ministry. Along with Jesus, John the Baptist was also believed to be an Essene.

In ancient Hindu culture, the Upper Cervical Spine was called the “mouth of God.” because according to the scriptures, it is from this area that God speaks Life into the body. The Hindu’s have practiced bone setting for thousands of years to keep this area open. Think of this when you read the scripture Matthew 4:4: “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” The word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is the flow of Life into the body that stirs the cells to life.

Finding The Help You Need Through my own experiences, I have found one thing to be true: no matter what physical or emotional state you are in, you are better off with a healthy spine and nervous system. An estimated 80% of children and 95% of adults have a misalignment of the Upper Cervical Spine. I encourage everyone to undergo a spinal analysis by an Upper Cervical Chiropractor that treats you with respect and integrity. Part of being a good doctor is becoming humble and realizing that you do not have the answer to health, but the Spirit within each individual does. It is when we recognize that our own Spirit knows best, and trust in the power that created our body that we truly have faith in God. I thank God everyday for showing me this procedure so I can fully express the Spirit that I am.

Kevin Davine, D.C., of Pure Life Chiropractic, will be sharing more about the benefits of Upper Cervical Care on Tuesday, March 4th and 18th at his office in Boynton Beach, FL 399 Winchester Park Blvd. Kevin can also be reached at 561.408.9099 or at purelifeboynton@gmail.com.

newsbriefs DYSLEXIA…A BRAIN ISSUE Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities. Recent studies show it affects nearly 20% of people.

H

ow I Changed My Brain to Overcome Dyslexia Are you living with a secret? Have you felt shame, discouraged or frustrated because you “couldn’t learn like other people?” Has this been going on your entire life? Welcome to the world of dyslexia – the most common learning disability. There are many forms of dyslexia. I personally suffer from a visual perception problem.

Today it seems like our school system labels young people with learning disabilities and creates lesson plans to help them succeed. When I was growing up in the 1950s there was no such thing as “learning disabled.” You were labeled “dumb” and stuck in the back of the class with the other slow learners.

School was a nightmare for me.

The embarrassment I felt was paralyzing. Why couldn’t I learn like my classmates? It seemed so easy for them talking freely when called upon. My hand never went up. On top of it all, I was shy and terrified of being laughed at. I couldn’t wait to graduate believing college was my salvation. But it wasn’t. This “thing” seemed to follow me. Every class was a new challenge for me to teach myself how to learn. Sometimes I sat in the front of the classroom to see the words come out of the teacher’s mouth. Other times I sat in the back of the room and just listened.

I struggled to take notes. I wrote everything down – even the jokes the teachers would say for fear of not “getting it” or missing what was really being taught. I pushed myself through my undergraduate program changing colleges five times. But I still didn’t know if there was something wrong with me? I thought it was test anxiety.

Trying to Help Others After swearing never to go back, I attained my Master’s in Counseling. I had a mission to help others with this “hidden, undiagnosed” problem. I wanted to help others that struggled just like me. After several years working in a psychiatric hospital I wanted to help people in a different way. I decided to bridge counseling with eye diseases for people going blind. I started a second master’s degree in Medical Science focusing in Ophthalmology.

Was I masochistic or just crazy?

While testing kids’ vision at the university clinic, many of them would get the letters on their eye exams backwards. The professors called it dyslexia. My teachers said this was normal and many of the kids would outgrow it. But I realized I never had.

I went to see the head of the learning disabilities department to find answers for the kids I worked with – and for myself, too.

Finally - An Answer At age 30, I learned that I was dyslexic. I didn’t have brain damage like I’d thought. Psychological testing confirmed that I had

a visual perception problem. After the tears stopped, I was filled with relief. I was not dumb. Struggling through grade school, college and masters programs, though difficult, proved this to me.

The Effect of Environment on Dyslexia I have found, over the years, that a cause for my learning disability was not only a brain issue, but possibly caused from the environment in which I grew up.

My family lived in a small town with large chemical plants. I remember saying to my dad around age 10, “those clouds are bad clouds.” Studies show that exposure to environmental toxins have an adverse effect on brain development in children and are a factor in autism, schizophrenia, ADD, dyslexia and learning disabilities. I must have been one of those children.

The Neurofeedback Solution Years later when my husband and I got into the field of neurofeedback I found an answer on how to handle the symptoms accompanying dyslexia. After my first session, I felt an internal “knowingness” that my brain was connecting parts that had previously been unable to talk to one another. My brain was beginning to wake up. I didn’t know that the brain has neuroplasticity – elasticity – and can change at any age.

My husband and I have been helping others through the field of neurofeedback for more than 18 years. We moved to South Florida and opened our Center for Brain Training in 2006 to help those who suffer from the symptoms of learning disabilities – anxiety, inability to focus, depression, frustration, acting out, obsessiveness, shyness, difficulty connecting with others, and low self-esteem, to name a few.

If you or someone you know is suffering from the “secret” of dyslexia, suffering in silence, struggling to learn or to keep up, help is available.

Our team at The Center for Brain has worked with many types of brain issues and our technology can help your brain change itself. In addition to helping those who suffer with dyslexia, the biofeedback therapy we offer at The Center for Brain is effective in a variety of other situations such as migraines, pain, headaches, anxiety, sports performance, traumatic brain injury and more.We can help. I sure wish this technology was around when I was young.

Qigong Strength Training is nurturing to Qi instead of taxing like some traditional exercises.

Participants learn to use “Holding Qi” postures like Horsestance to build the root chakra and leg strength. When doing HyperThrows in our routines we use fast followed by slow brushing movements, which works wonders for circulatory issues, building speed/strength and giving a burst of energy. Yin & Yang alternating movements open arteries to expand blood flow beyond what traditional exercise is capable. Come learn, eat, taste and maybe break a sweat.

uring the last few months I have taken individual threads that have been hanging around in my mind for years and began to weave them into a book that I expect to finish in 2014. After four decades of working on the front lines of disease reversal and life prolonging with pure organic and plant-based methods, a vivid pattern of cause and effect has emerged.

For so long, my mind labored in the arena that caged me from going beyond the concept of flesh and blood anatomy. It often reminded me of beginning school at a first

grade level and wanting to read Socrates without the ability to do so. Like a bolt of lightning, many revelations came together and began to expose the cycle of life which is the true engine that runs our bodies and the total universe that we reside with, on and in.

Painting a picture to describe this fruitful exploration begins with yourself.

Beyond the protein that holds your body together, the vitamin and mineral sheathing that covers it, the essential fats that fuel it and the water and oxygen that shape it, the underlying purpose for your body’s existence is the electricity that it takes in and creates. There is a continual and perfect communication from cell to cell and from gathering of cells (organs and / or skeletal) to gathering of cells. This communication also reaches beyond your body to all other life outside.

This rhythmic and energetic process is strong, yet fragile. It can be thrown off by a weakening of the anatomical integrity of the cells or their central electrical frequencies. This weakening can occur via poor nutrition, dehydration and / or polluted hydration, lack of oxygen, intake of heavy metals or chemicals or renegade electromagnetic fields such as cell phones, Wi-Fi, etc.

All abnormalities that have been labeled as diseases stem from the negative energies that are endured from the poor lifestyle choices and unsustainable environment that we have created on planet earth today.

Our core vulnerability stems from the reduction of bio-frequency that occurs in the cell, which heightens its fragility to make it ineffective in communication and contribution. When these disturbances are critical, they can even cause a cell to mutate.

When you ingest ionized, rich, raw plant-based foods, it provides foundational energy. You then have to consider avoiding negative energy fields or at least protecting yourself from them with electromagnetic field interrupting devices or tools.

What is more difficult to avoid and personally restrain from is the negative energy that we absorb or spew from discontented emotional states. Most of you have seen

this and experienced it. Certain people, places or environments can make you feel uncomfortable, on edge and literally drained.

With a discombobulated sense of self, most people are sponges rather than water hoses, stealing energy from all other forms of life. All bad effects of these encounters can be minimized if you maintain a strong electrical current in your cells, manifesting a powerful anatomy and persona. Just as an electric fence rejects the unwanted invaders of a terrain, an electrically charged person can ward off disease and fallibility of thought.

Picture all that you see, understand, touch, and feel as little dots of electricity.

Some may be flowers, some steel, some rock, some cats, and some locomotives and jet planes. The shapes, forms, and lives are created by energy. This energy comes in the form of these electric dots.

As when a light bulb fades, susceptibility to disorder rises. In the case of steel, it is oxygen that erodes it into rust. In the case of humans, it is negative thought and sustenance as well as environmental toxins.

In this 21st century, we must go well beyond this façade and realize that the less we take structure as serious and the more we accept the invisible and unknown energies of life, the healthier we and the earth we reside on will be.

This all begins with these tiny little microscopic cells that need to be respected and cared for in a thorough and proper way. As our minds free us from the constraints of matter, we will surge forward in our understanding that our endless search must be for the “Fountain of Electric,” not the Fountain of Youth.

In years past, my book, Lifeforce, expressed that there is no such thing as a calorie, but a measurement of energy. We have gathered together enough experience so that we can express to you which foods and noninvasive therapies will fortify your fields of bio-frequency.

Leading pioneers in this field of science, such as Dr. Valerie Hunt, have been writing about this and teaching it for more than 60 years. Dr. Hunt has demolished the walls between science and esoteric thought. As she expresses and we concur,

all is the same.

True relaxation occurs with the acceptance that everything is exactly as it should be. Once you are ready to embrace the reality that you have total control and no control, the manifestation of pure and solid health will occur.

When using advanced medical technologies as we do here at Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI), like Ondamed and CyberScan, which is exclusive to HHI, we can now measure a person’s deficiency or adequacy of energy. With a refined understanding of different organs’ cellular systems, we can spotlight the concerns that the body is enduring.

We hope that each of you are struck — hit with a bolt of enlightenment that exhumes your blockages and provokes your limitless potential. If we could all stop thinking of ourselves as victims of circumstance and begin thinking of ourselves as light itself, we would eradicate the physical, emotional, and spiritual problems that prevail in ourselves and here on this globe.

In Quantum Nutrition, the book that I piecing together, I will show you that magnets in the cell connect you with all other life and that phosphorous sheathings make up the majority of your DNA. This provides the ultimate evidence that you are vessels of electromagnetic energy that transmutes the physical appearance that you are so familiar with.

In the not-so-distant future, there is no doubt that sound, light and energy will be harnessed in medical technology at such a level, it will penetrate your electric body and eradicate the core culprit in the cause of physical disease.

Let’s tune ourselves with proper nutrients, positive thoughts, rewarding relationships, healthy living and work environments, and fulfilling activities. When our cells are vibrating at the level that they are meant to, the negative schemers that are out to make us sick will be abolished.

When we listen to a fine Mozart concerto, witness the crashing waves or gaze up at the endless stars, harmony will once again prevail.

Commit yourself to the invisible cells reconstruction and you will be assured a future of conscious well-being and abounding joy.

newsbriefs Paving the way to Developing a Culture of Thinking in Schools

Q

uestions. Our brains are wired and designed to consistently inquire to acquire. But something has happened to us (humans) along our way that has caused our questioning mind to fade, ultimately creating a race of rats running through a maze. The greatest minds throughout our history all had one thing in common... questions. Their lives were ruled by an insatiable curiosity seeking to find the answers, only to realize that the answers were not as important as the questions themselves.

Socrates believed the ‘unexamined life was not worth living’. Einstein believed ‘those who could no longer wonder, no longer marvel, are as good as dead’. 1 Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Steven Hawkings, and many other great minds all have one thing in common...they asked questions!!!

Unfortunately, our post-industrial education system established over 100 years ago has undergone very few changes and adaptations as it relates to instruction. The system was developed to prepare students to enter an industrious labor force, and thus the focus was not so much on the questions, but rather the answers. Our society has undergone drastic changes, and our

system for educating children, sadly, has not kept pace.

Yes, there is a movement in education that is steering away from this antiquated model, but revamping the system has proven to be an arduous task that is far from keeping the pace with the technological advancements that are the catalysts for our ever changing world. Bearing that in mind, we must ask ourselves, how can we prepare our children for a future that will be radically different from our present; in essence, a future that is unknown?

The key is to move away from “top down” education methods and instead, move toward “bottom up.” In the “top down” approach, teachers stand before rows and columns of students and follow the scope and sequence of (often outdated) textbooks. Information is given for students to memorize and later regurgitate on a quiz or test. Some schools may offer projects to accompany the unit in an effort to “check off” the hands on approach to learning. Unfortunately, projects sent to be completed at home, post unit, offer little to enhance the students’ understanding of the topic, and instead can turn them off to

learning because of the added workload to their incessant homework assignments.

The “bottom up” method of learning begins with a problem presented to the students and is developed through their questions, guided by teachers that act as facilitators, and assessed by various products that demonstrate their understanding of the concept. These products often manifests themselves as solutions to the assigned problem, based on student research and guiding questions. This methods allows students to think creatively, innovatively, and critically. Their understanding of the concept is acquired through their process of investigation which teaches them not only about the specific concept, but also how to apply these thinking skills to all future concepts they are presented with.

Teaching students how to think can only happen when we allow them to think, act, fail, reflect, and think more. It is the questions they ask that lead them towards the answers they seek. Through this process students learn how to apply the knowledge and how to effectively communicate their understanding through presentations- not regurgitation. If we are to prepare our students for an unknown future, we must prepare them to think analytically. They must know how to dissect any given information, thoroughly examine it, reconstruct it, and apply it The good news is there is a movement in education that recognizes these principles and changes are being made.

More and more independent schools are popping up all over the country that incorporate a student centered approach to learning and parents are also being educated on the much needed changes in our education system. With careful research, planning, and investigating parents can find the school that is a perfect fit for their child- they must ensure to first- ask the right questions!

maintain positive change in your life. The color, location mined, and the geometric configuration combined with the intention matched to the gemstone brings positive transformation.

Holy Waters Throughout my own life, holy water played a pivotal role in healing and balance. My wise mother would bless me and my siblings with holy water when we were sick or under the weather in some way. Over the years I’ve been collecting holy water from many churches throughout the world though at the time didn’t really know what the ultimate purpose would be. Now these holy waters are potentiated and used in my line of sprays including this new launch of the Chakra Sprays.

Sacred Site Essences Everything is energy. All energy vibrates.

All vibration affects our reality. Because of these basic principles I’ve also been “capturing” the energetic essences of Sacred Sites around the world. I spent many years bringing my customers on Sacred Site Journeys to Mexico, Peru, and Europe. I would collect the essence of the location through intention, water and sometimes add a rock or pebble from the location for flavor. In some cases, I obtained water from a sacred spring or river when available. Energetic waters from Glastonbury Well in England, Teotihuacan in Mexico, St. Germain’s church in France and Mother Mary’s last known home outside Ephesus in Turkey are just a few among the collection I use in my Aroma-Energetic Sprays.

Bach Flower Essences Most of us are familiar with the use of herbs for healing and balancing the subtle and physical bodies. On a vibrational level, the energy of a plant, herb or tree has balancing properties. The most commonly used flower essences are Bach Flower® Essences which are drawn from the essence of wildflower blooms by the power of the sun. There are 38 plant and flower based formulas that can help manage the emotional demands of life.

They are vibrational, not extracts, because it’s the energy of the plant or flower that is utilized.

Positive Affirmations To complement and actualize your intention use positive thoughts and establish your intention regarding your goals and desires. Each spray has a suggested affirmation associated with the given chakra.

Replace negative thoughts or fears with the positive statements that the affirmation provides. Repeat the affirmation again and again and soon you’ll find that any negative thoughts and fears disintegrate. Where love and goodness reside there is no room for anything but love and goodness. Focus on what you do want, not what you don’t want!

I am grateful and honored to have these formulas come through me to provide such a powerful and positive tool to help many people. I invite you to stop by The Crystal Garden to spray and play with these amazing treasures. They truly smell and feel amazing!

SAVE THE DATE! Join us for a big Chakra Spray Launch Party on SATURDAY, MARCH 22 from 11am – 5 pm. There will be free lectures, free mini-readings in a group setting, colorful food, and special sale!!

newsbriefs USING HERB and FLOWER SUPER POWER in PROTECTING OUR FOOD, BODY and GARDEN!

S

pring will be visiting South Florida as you turn on the pages of this March Edition of Natural Awakening. Mother Earth will be putting on a HAPPY colorful Mantel of wild flowers inviting snow birds, pollinators, butterflies, and bees. Other visitors will also swarm and invade the PRODUCTIVE garden: Beneficial and NON-Beneficial pests and gritters such as aphids, nematodes, raccoons and other bug family members.

Already South Florida gardeners and farmers are combating existing challenges such as the climate change the White Fly infestation, to mention the least. They need no more bad news. The good news is: there are Flowers and Herbs that could be summoned to rescue against garden pests and spring flu!

If you are an avid gardener or simply a beginner who invested time and money in growing your own food , then you will be scrambling to the garden center to buy pesticides , herbicides ,fungicides to protect your crop from being harvested by the NON-Beneficial pests. Think twice before you do so! Please: No fungus among us and No Roundup around!!

Here are some Organic alternatives to consider.Amazing LOCAL Non-GMO South Florida Super foods: (NON POISONOUS) Herbs - Flowers you can Ever EAT, BEAT Garden Pests and never be Under the Weather!

I-TROPICAL HERBS: 1-Neem TREE (Indica officinalis): I personally grow NEEM trees, eat and spray with NEEM products, to guard against myriad pests and gritters to name the least: White Fly- Racoons –mosquitos, westnile fly etc.. Neem oil and tea extracts work as Anti-Retro Viral agent that disturbs the incubation and further prevents multiplication of invading pests like the white fly for example.

It does NOT KILL. It Prevents. It is safe to use around vegetables, humans, animals and beneficial pests like the Lady bug. I also add neem leaves into my favorite salads and rice pilafs and soups! The taste is bitter… My mother used to say to me: “Bitter herbs like neem and dandelion are Better for your Liver. Eat and drink bitters during SPRING season to detoxify and purify your body-mind-spirit”. I have added bitters like NEEM to purify my garden from the non-beneficial pests! Use Neem Oil to prevent white fly aphids, mealy bugs, mites, scale.

2-Cuban Oregano: There is an old saying:” When in Rome dress like the Romans”. I have added: “When in the TROPICS GROW AND EAT what is TROPICAL LIKE NON-GMO “CA LA LO” or Tropical Spinach! ALSO BEAT THE TROPICAL PESTS WITH TROPICAL HERBS LIKE CUBAN OREGANO! Monsanto has patented GMO veggie/herb/fruit seeds like the conventional non-organic ones you buy from your garden center, and produced pesticides like Agent Orange and Round

24

Palm Beach Edition

Up. Look for alternative Tropical and locally grown / harvested veggie/herb/fruit seeds like Everglades tomatoes, Cuban oregano, calalo and papaya for example! Remember your grandpa’s advice to eat” local honey and bee pollen..”! The same applies to all other food you eat. Just say” NO to GMO” by simply using alternatives to chemical pesticides like neem products to combat nematodes. Grow Tropical nonGMO heirloom local super food green veggies like ” CALALO”. Spray with locally grown tropical Cuban Oregano extracts. Where to find them? I give away FREE SAMPLES for those who attend my Organic Gardening Classes and mention my AD at Natural Awakening “Mark Your Calendar”! Most valuable things are FREE like: Love, spring water , Air and wild flowers and herbs. Born FREE in Nature! Never sold adulterated like in a plastic bottle: Always Hand Picked Fresh LOCALLY GROWN

BY MOTHER EARTH! Gardeners and farmers posing only as EARTH KEEPERS! Be one of them!

3-Garlic Chives(ALLIUM TUBEROSUM): My ONLY problem with garlic is: IT smells “GARLICKY”. Everything else works GREAT magic to repell garden pests, intestinal parasites, COMPLAINERS/ negative folks, spiders, vampires. I spray with garlic oil, tea/ extracts to repell most aphids / winged pests like the WHITE FLY. I discourage nematodes that attack the root system by planting garlic CHIVES around my veggie plants. It attracts beneficial insects and dispels the non beneficial ones! I eat garlic raw. I learned that when I worked at Hippocretes Health Institute!

It is definitely a super food, besides being a pest control and an aphrodisiac as well! Ehem..ehemmm!

Also, I sprinkle bits of Cuban oregano and neem LEAF herb into my salad, soups and add it to my spaghetti marinara. I also juice it and use tea /extracts to spray my vegetable garden and chase the garden pests away. My skin loves the oregano oil / neem oil when I use it as bug repellent/antioxidant to guard against aging. I HAVE A GARDEN MOTTO:” IF I CAN EAT IT, THEN MY PLANTS CAN AS WELL USE IT TO BEAT PESTS!” Experiment. It is the best way to learn , and BELEIVE it WORKS!!

II-UNIVERSAL FLOWER POWER. Cheap Super food: LOCALLY GROWN AND HARVESTED AT YOUR BACKYARD PRODUCTVE GARDEN: 1-Marigold: They come in variegated golden colors and shapes.

Grow them from organic seed source. Good to combat many aphid pests. I personally sprinkle ORGANIC marigold flowers on salad and brew them as tea.

2-Nasturtium (Tropaelum majus): My favorite as appetizer, in salad and pest control/ prevention. Has glucotropaeolin- anti bacterial properties as known to native tribes of Peru who used

napalmbeach.com

them for medicinal purposes as well as a pestcontrol.

2-Sunflower (Helianthus annuus): Native Americans (Lacota tribe/North-South Dakota) grow them for snack food as well as to purify soil from unwanted heavy metals. I grow sunflower at my gardens to attract birds /pollinators. I snack on the seeds myself and buy sun flower butter as an alternative for peanut butter (www.sunflowerbutter.com). It is loaded with minerals such as phosphorous, manganese, iron.. Another hidden cheap super food!

3-Echineacea (Echinacea purpurea): May be you recognize this flower from your Health Food Store Immune System Boosters herbal remedies. Make no mistake: This super food herb is also edible. You can eat it and use its power to beat the garden pests as well. I use the flower in my salads and brew it as tea! I grow it to buffer and protect my garden from garden winged bugs and pests :You name them!

4-Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus): Nasturtium leaves are edible as well as its flowers! It has a sulfur ingredient named GLUCOTROPAEOLIN. An Anti-bacterial powerful compound. I use it in salads mostly as appetizer!

III- Other Miscellaneous Safe Organic pest control treatments: 1-DIATOMACEOUS EARTH(DE): I have some of my garden students who used the edible food grade version and swear by its anti-pest power. If you have children and animals around at home and garden , this is a safe product to use to battle myriad pests and bugs. You may google it and learn more about how to use it or take it as food to chase away parasites and other pests that attack humans!

2-Borax: Safe to use indoors/outdoors to combat roaches and ants.

3-Corn grits: Use it to fight fire ants. Native Americans used it at their Sweat Lodges /INIPI to ward off ants!

4-Natural PYRETHRUM (Please, do not use SYNTHETIC PYRETHIUM); use to fight flea beatles, aphids.

5-Insecticidal soaps: I personally use diluted mix against amny aphids and oyher plant pests along with neem oil to interrupt the egg layning cycle of pests and therefore prevent them from multiplying.

newsbriefs ANCIENT CHINESE CHI GONG FOR JOY AND ABUNDANCE

Q

i Gong, also known as Chi Gong, is becoming a popular form of exercise that integrates the mind, body and spirit. Practitioners are finding that a steady discipline of this gentle form of martial arts has significantly improved the quality of their lives: more energy, better handling of stress, improving or eliminating health challenges. They are also happier and content with life. It is often compared to another practice – Tai Chi. Tai Chi movements involve the gentle movements of extending and lifting the arms, legs and hands, while Chi Gong is simpler. It has fewer movements and easier to practice in slow motion, so anyone with physical/ health restrictions can benefit from it. It has been said that a consistent Chi Gong practice have proven to be miraculous!

While anyone can start a practice on their own, it is better to find a teacher – someone who has studied and practiced under the guidance of a master. Master Teresa Yeung studied for 17 years under the tutelage of her teacher, Grandmaster Weizhao Wu. Before he left his physical body and crossed into the spirit world, he directed her to carry on the work they had begun; against the odds that a woman could be a master of a discipline that is historically bestowed upon a man. What she had done to evolve their work since his passing, is remarkable.

I had the privilege of interviewing Master Teresa when she recently visited Florida.

ED: In your words, how would you define Chi Gong?

MASTER TERESA: Qi or Chi means energy. Gong means work.

Chi is the energy of creation and the base of Chinese medicines.

Chi Gong is a 5,000 years old self-healing breathing exercises with gentle movements, which acts like acupuncture without needles. While receiving acupuncture, supplements or herbs are good and essential at times, your daily practice of Chi Gong exercise promotes self-healing and works well with any healing modalities. Chi Gong is excellent for reducing pain, helps sleeping, uplifting you from depression, balance the body, im-

Palm Beach Edition

prove digestion and increase your energy and much more.Chi Gong works in harmony with other healing modalities, such as reflexology, acupuncture, herbal medicines and martial arts.

ED: Is Chi Gong difficult to practice and how much time does it take?

MASTER TERESA: The ancient, traditional practice of Chi Gong can be long and complicated. However, what we’ve done is simplify and shorten the practice by keeping the best of the Chi Gong movements. People’s lives are busy and they also want to see the results of their practice faster. So we’ve developed an easy-to-do practice that requires about 5-15 minutes a day. If you commit to a daily practice, in no time you will begin to feel balanced physically, emotionally and mentally, because the chi comes from within. When you are balanced, you feel energized, grounded, joyful and happy.

ED: Are there many forms of Chi Gong?

MASTER TERESA: Yes, there are hundreds of styles of Qi Gong that are based on two primary forms, each one created for their own purpose and benefits: Hard and Soft Qi Gong.

However, we’ve developed and evolved Chi Gong forms for specific areas of the body, for example, Wu’s Eye Qi Gong®.

Grandmaster Wu created this form of healing when his mother’s eyes began to fail and she was going blind. Wu taught his mother his new Wu’s Eye Qi Gong ® and also did intensive Chi healing on her eyes daily. In weeks, his mother’s eyes regained complete vision and afterwards she could put a thread through a needle in her 80’s.

ED: There are many people in the west who are aware that energy medicines work and that Chi Gong exercises are beneficial to their lives. They also understand that practicing Chi Gong consistently generates many healing benefits. But how can a Chi Gong practitioner receive the chi they are looking for and reach new levels of development?

MASTER TERESA: First, I am very grateful for instructors who are doing their very best to introduce Chi Gong to their friends, family and clients. However, you need to find the right teacher who knows how to guide and help you be balanced physically, emotionally by moving the chi so that you can achieve your next level of growth.I also am most honored to have had the opportunity to learn and succeed Grandmaster Weizhao Wu who achieved the highest Chi Gong title in 1995, in China. I am forever grateful for how he helped me and the other teachers that came into my life.

When we are happy and feeling joyful, we are vibrating at a high frequency that assists our spiritual growth. The best way

napalmbeach.com

to practice Chi Gong successfully and raise your Chi is to receive Chi from the teacher or master. Chi projected out to the student, by the teacher, raises their vibration to a healing vibration like a Chi Signature™. Receiving this seed of Chi is most important to help student move to the next level of enlightenment. In my class, I keep sending Chi to the students. It’s all vibration - moving the Chi and creates the right vibration.

ED: I know that you also can scan the Chi and read people’s energy.

Can anyone send Chi and perform Chi balancing on people? Can people do what you do?

MASTER TERESA: Many people have asked how they can become me. So, after several years of experimenting with my teachings, I designed a Fa Chi Program (projecting chi to others program).

Step-by-step you can achieve opening your Chi and develop your abilities. You can view the results on YouTube on my students send Chi to others.

ED: This is really interesting and exciting! In my own practice as a Chi Gong teacher, Reiki Master and Akashic Records Consultations, not only have I healed myself and others physically, emotionally, but also at the sub-conscious level. I have learned through Chi Gong introspection how to expand my spirituality and my third eye. And, I have personally discovered how to accelerate the benefits of the law of attraction.

MASTER TERESA: Indeed finding out what your passion is and living it is more fulfilling. It makes for a joyful life. Much can be accomplished by determination, but why would you want to choose that path? When we are in the right vibration, in the state of Chi, you can identify your passion this is alternatively more joyful. Implementation of your life’s mission is no longer an effort or a chore.

Rewards will flow to you in so many ways, because of your paradigm shift. I agree totally that what you visualize will manifest very quickly, if you are able to hold the right vibration.

ED: Can anyone become a Chi Gong healer or I know that you call your healers, “Fa Chi Si”? How can people not deplete their energies when projecting chi out?

MASTER TERESA: “Fa Chi” means giving chi out. “Si” means practitioner. As a Fa Chi Si, you are not really healing people.

You are really helping your friends, family or clients to move the xhi in their body and help them self-heal, using several of my chi techniques. You are facilitating a chi balancing session, which is remarkable. Many report that their pain is reduced and ailments disappeared, etc. If you are trained properly, you will not lose your energy when projecting chi out. After all, it’s all training. If you like practicing Chi Gong and have a kind, loving heart, you can be trained as a Chi Healer or Fa Chi Si. My Fa Chi Certification offers the solutions that all of us needs. Your health will improve dramatically, while you are balancing other people. Chi Gong healing works and it can be easily integrated in any modalities and healthcare practices.

students in their 4th day with me. There are a few “before and after” Chi balancing videos ED: Will you be considering teaching how to do chi balancing sessions in Florida?

MASTER TERESA: Yes, indeed. I plan to offer Fa Chi Certification Programs for Chi Balancing. Please join my class and have a taste of my teachings. Feel the power of your chi in your hands. You will learn how to give chi to yourself. It will be most a rewarding experience. You will feel balanced, energized, joy and happier like never before. In the future, you are welcome to join my certification programs. If anyone is unable to attend my sessions in person, they are very welcome to visit my digital download store: www.masterteresa.ca and obtain videos of my teachings.

ED: Thanks for all the good information and bringing your teachings to Florida. I look forward to meeting you again in Florida.

MASTER TERESA: Great blessings to all of you and your journey!

She is author of Life Force: Miraculous Power of Qi Gong and also founder of The Seventh Happiness School of Chi Gong, Wu & Yeung® Chi Gong Wellness Institute.

newsbriefs AGAPE HEALING ARTS

Health and Wellness Center is excited to introduce Julie Allen of JAH Arts to our team of healing practitioners.

J

ulie will be teaching Mind, Body, Breath in Agape Healing Arts’ Practice space — the Fire Room on Thursday evenings at 5:30pm.

Julie’s 90 minute class is a healing practice combining dhyana (meditation), asana (postures) and pranayama (breath), these sacred practices will open a gateway to the deeper dimensions of your yoga practice, connect with the true Self. Class offered by donation for an introductory 90 days. Beginning May 8, 2014, this class will be offered at $20 per class. Drop-ins welcome, please arrive a few minutes early.

Julie will also be offering Zen Shiatsu treatments by appointment only.

Zen Shiatsu is an eastern bodywork modality based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shiatsu techniques are designed to stimulate the flow of Qi (energy) in the meridians using palm, finger, elbow, knee and foot pressure as well as Makahoes (meridian stretches). Zen Shiatsu is distinguished from other styles of shiatsu by the use of two hands; a still supporting, listening, Yin hand while the second hand is actively moving along the meridian giving this messenger hand a Yang quality. Shiatsu is comparable to Thai Massage and Julie’s treatments are heavily influenced by Thai Massage. Many of her teachers have been Thai practitioners, integrating movement and stretching of Thai into her education.

Julie was born and raised in Palm Beach County and has been practicing yoga for most of her life. Her first interest was a solitary practice at the age of 14, discovering and learning through books and meditation.

Julie finally landed in the Healing Arts in her mid-20s completing over 1500 hours of Massage training in Florida and New York, she specializes in Shiatsu, Aromatherapy, Prenatal and Deep Tissue Massage. In 2013, she attended Kula Yoga Shala’s Transcend LLC Teacher Training and has classes popping up all over northern Palm Beach County. Follow her @JAHArts on Instagram, or like her page JAH Arts on Facebook to keep up to date on all her classes!

On March 30, Julie will be offering Couples TLC Yoga and Massage with her good friend and Licensed Massage Therapist Melissa Wooten. This will be a one time opportunity to deepen your connection with a partner or loved one through touch and movement. Workshop participants will play with casual and fun partner yoga followed by a guided massage exchange, where partners will learn safe, specific therapeutic techniques. Workshop will run from 2-5pm. To register, please email Julie and Melissa at teachandinspire108@gmail.com For more information on classes or treatments, please text Julie at 561-329-4115 or email her at Jewels0818@gmail.com Agape Healing Arts is located at 385 Tequesta Drive, Suite 4&5 Tequesta, FL 33469

DIY Projects Keep Seniors Moving

T

he British Journal of Sports Medicine reports that a generally active daily life that includes do-it-yourself activities and projects like gardening and car maintenance can cut the risks of heart attacks and strokes by as much as 30 percent and prolong life among adults 60 and over. These routine activities may be as beneficial as exercising for older adults because they decrease total sedentary time, the researchers say.

Scientists in Stockholm, Sweden, tracked more than 4,000 men and women for an average of 12.5 years, starting at age 60. At the start of the study, regardless of exercise habits, high levels of other physical activity were associated with smaller waists and lower levels of potentially harmful blood fats in both sexes, and lower levels of glucose, insulin and clotting factor levels in men.

Those with higher levels of other physical activity were also significantly less likely to experience metabolic syndrome, a first cardiovascular disease event, and early mortality from any cause. The same was true for individuals that undertook high levels of formal exercise, even if it wasn’t routine. Participants that both exercised regularly and were often physically active in their daily life had the lowest risk profile of all.

Coconut Oil Manages Cholesterol, Shrinks Waistlines

R

educed physical activity and increased consumption of carbohydrates and saturated fats fuel increased rates of obesity, cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance, plus abnormal lipid content in the blood. Although coconut oil is a saturated fat, its chemical composition appears to prevent it from generating negative effects on lipid profiles, according to a growing body of research.

In an earlier study published in Lipids, women that exhibited abdominal obesity consumed supplements of either coconut oil or soybean oil. Throughout the 12-week trial, both groups followed the same weight-loss diet. At the end, the coconut oil group presented a higher level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or protective cholesterol, and smaller waistlines, while the soybean oil group showed lower HDL levels and an increase in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) plus a less desirable LDL-to-HDL ratio. In a later study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consumption of coconut oil was again associated with a beneficial lipid profile in premenopausal women.

Researchers that conducted a concurrent pilot study with male and female subjects found that men also experienced shrinking waistlines when supplementing with coconut oil. They explain that coconut oil contains mainly medium-chain fatty acids, which rapidly convert into energy, thereby circumventing the cycle that makes cholesterol and stores fat (Pharmacology).

Chemicals Harm Pets, Too

T

he nationwide health epidemic of chronic diseases afflicting the human population is also showing up among companion animals. According to a report by the Environmental Working Group, pets, like a canary in a coal mine, may be the environmental sentinels that are now signaling a clear connection between disease and manmade chemicals.

In a study that analyzed blood samples of dogs and cats, 48 of 70 industrial chemicals and pollutants were traced, many recording levels that were substantially higher than previously reported in national studies of humans. Dogs displayed double the concentration of perfluorochemicals (used in stain-proof and grease-proof coatings); cats evidenced 23 times the concentration of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) fire retardants and 5.4 times the amount of mercury.

PBDE levels in hyperthyroid cats have been linked to eating canned cat food and to the increased use of PBDEs in consumer products during the past 30 years. In humans, high levels of flameretardant chemicals are implicated in endocrine disruption, Type 2 diabetes and thyroid disease.

Suggestions for minimizing exposure include avoiding chemicalladen household cleaners, furnishings and carpet; drinking carbon-filtered water; steering clear of food and beverage containers made from or lined with plastic (including cans); and eating organic produce and free-range meat.

Legumes Improve Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure

A

cup of beans a day may keep the doctor away. In a randomized trial published in the Archives of Internal Medicine of 121 participants diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, daily consumption of approximately one cup of legumes (peas and beans) was found to improve glycemic control and reduce systolic blood pressure and heart rate, thereby reducing participants’ calculated risk score for coronary heart disease (CHD).

Body weight, waist circumference and fasting blood glucose and triglyceride levels also decreased on the legume diet. Legumes appear to make dietary carbohydrates digest more slowly and with a lower glycemic index, which has been associated with reduced hypertension and fewer CHD events in pre-diabetic individuals.

E

lusive anti-cancer elements of vitamin E, natural tocopherols, have been identified by researchers at Ohio State University as being able to deactivate an enzyme essential for cancer cell survival.

Although both alpha and gamma forms of natural tocopherols worked, the gamma was the most potent in shutting down the troublesome enzyme. Through manipulating the structure of the gamma molecule, the scientists were able to create an agent 20 times more effective than the original vitamin. In mice, this agent reduced the size of prostate cancer tumors.

Over-the-counter vitamin E supplements are limited because many use synthetic forms that do not contain the natural gamma tocopherols. The study’s authors, led by Ching-Shih Chen, Ph.D., note that the human body cannot absorb the high dosages of natural vitamin E required to achieve the anti-cancer effect; their goal is to develop a safe pill that could be taken daily for cancer prevention.

Superfoods Defend Against Radiation

T

wo superfoods show promise for protecting people from radiation damage—cruciferous vegetables and miso, a food paste made from fermented soybeans. Scientists have identified a specific chemical byproduct, 3,3’diindolylmethane (DIM), derived from the digestion of cruciferous vegetables and especially concentrated in broccoli, that is responsible for the defensive effect. The source of miso’s beneficial properties needs further investigation, but appears to stem from the fermentation process.

Research led by Gary Firestone, Ph.D., of the University of California-Berkley, and physician Eliot Rosen, Ph.D., of Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C., concluded that administering supplemental DIM before or immediately following lethal levels of radiation exposure protected rats from immediate death. If clinical trials with humans are successful, the compound could be used to minimize acute radiation sickness.

A comprehensive research review published in the Journal of Toxicologic Pathology lends credence to miso’s shielding power. Mice that ate miso a week before irradiation appeared to be protected from radiation injury.

We don’t have to live in a rural area or even the suburbs to be a farmer these days. According to the Trust for Public Land, the 10 best cities for homegrown veggies from urban gardens are Seattle, Washington (a P-Patch program provides 68 gardens for residents throughout the city); Portland, Oregon (its Produce for People program donates fresh produce to local hunger agencies); Long Beach, California (growing anything from sugar cane and lemongrass to sunflowers and tomatoes); St. Paul, Minnesota (17 community gardens—half run by nonprofits and half open to rent); Honolulu, Hawaii (1,254 plots for public use); San Jose, California (19 community gardens on 35 acres); Baltimore, Maryland (community gardens cover 11 acres throughout the city); Washington, D.C. (a Master Peace Farm program tends area gardens and mentors budding veggie growers at an adjoining middle school); Anchorage, Alaska (a city goal is enabling residents to work together in harmony); and Louisville, Kentucky (Brightside’s community garden program, established 19 years ago, currently manages 10 of Louisville’s 16 gardens).

These gardens not only extol the virtues of fresh, local and often organic foods, they also bring communities together. Some produce food for those in need, others have youth programs and some have even been credited with reducing local crime rates. Many community gardens accept new members in the fall; visit acga.LocalHarvest.org to find one nearby and reserve a space.

Homegrown Access

Creative Paths for Local Food Sourcing Entrepreneurs are creating novel ways to circumvent the commercial food system that ships food, in or out of season, for hundreds or thousands of miles at the cost of quality and too often, accountability. Re:farm Denver, in Colorado, for example, supplies families with everything they need for backyard gardens, from irrigation systems to seeds. In 2013, 200 families participated.

Cottage food laws allow artisans to sell breads, jams, candy and other foods made in home kitchens. While specific restrictions vary, 42 states have some type of cottage law. Beth-Ann Betz, who bakes sweets in her New Hampshire kitchen, says, “It gives me the option to be independent and self-employed at 66.”

At the Community Thanksgiving Potluck, in Laguna Beach, California, dinner is shared, not served. For 25 years, those with homes and without, single people, families, city council members and the jobless have gathered to share food and community for the holiday. “It’s a wonderful chaos,” says Dawn Price, executive director of the nonprofit Friendship Shelter.

At Bottles Liquor, in West Oakland, California, a banner reads “Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Available Here.” Bottles is a member of the Healthy Neighborhood Store Alliance, an effort of the nonprofit Mandela Marketplace to bring pesticide-free produce to corner stores throughout the neighborhood.

Fresh Food Trends Natural Trailblazers in Sustainable Eating

by Melinda Hemmelgarn

Food experts have listed local, regional and sustainable foods among the top food trends for 2014. Consumers’ heightened environmental awareness and their love for fresh flavors are responsible.

T

here’s even a new term, “hyperlocal”, to describe produce harvested fresh from onsite gardens at restaurants, schools, supermarkets and hospitals—all designed for sourcing tasty, nutrient-rich foods minus the fuel-guzzling transportation costs. Adding emphasis to the need to preserve vital local food sources, the United Nations has designated 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming.

Here are four thriving food trends resulting from shifts in Americans’ thinking and our growing love for all things local.

Foraging

What could be more entertaining and economical than searching for and gathering wild foods in their natural habitat? From paw paws and persimmons in Missouri to palmetto berries in Florida and seaweed in California, Mother Nature provides a feast at her children’s feet. Commonly foraged foods include nuts, mushrooms, greens,

36

herbs, fruits and even shellfish. To learn how to identify regional native wild foods and cash in on some “free” nutritious meals, foragers need to know where and when to harvest their bounty. Conservation departments and state and national parks often offer helpful field guides and recipes.

Jill Nussinow, also known as The Veggie Queen, a registered dietitian and cookbook author in Santa Rosa, California, characterizes foraging as “nature’s treasure hunt.” Nussinow says she forages for the thrill of it and because, “It puts you very much in touch with the seasons.”

On her typical foraging excursions through forests and on beaches, Nussinow notes, “You never know what you might find: mushrooms, berries, miner’s lettuce, mustard pods or sea vegetables.

It’s free food, there for the picking.” However, she warns, “You have to know what you are doing. Some wild foods can be

napalmbeach.com

harmful.”

For example, Nussinow advises getting to know about mushrooms before venturing forth to pick them. She recommends the book Mushrooms Demystified,

by David Arora, as a learning tool, and checking with local mycological associations for safe mushroom identification.

She also likes the advice of “Wildman” Steve Brill, of New York City, who publishes educational articles at Wildman SteveBrill.com. “He knows more about wild foods than anyone I know,” she says.

Vermont wildcrafter Nova Kim teaches her students not only how to identify wild edibles, but also how to harvest them sustainably. It’s critical to make sure wild foods will be available for future generations.

Fermentation

Kefir, kimchi, kombucha and sauerkraut all owe their unique flavors to fermentation. Sandor Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes From Around the World, is a self-described “fermentation revivalist”. He explains how microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria that are universally present on raw vegetables and in milk, transform fresh food into preserved sustenance.

Katz recalls how his boyhood love for sour pickles grew to an “obsession with all things fermented.” An abundant garden crop of cabbage left him wondering, “What are we going to do with all that cabbage?” The answer came naturally: “Let’s make sauerkraut.” Subsequently, Katz has become an international expert on the art and science of fermentation from wine to brine and beyond, collecting recipes and wisdom from past generations (WildFermentation.com). He observes, “Every single culture enjoys fermented foods.”

Increasing respect and reverence for fermented foods and related communities of beneficial microorganisms is a new frontier in nutrition and medical sciences. For example, several researchers at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting last fall in Houston, Texas, described the connections between the trillions of bacteria living in the human gut, known as the “microbiota”, and mental and physical

Kelly Tappenden, Ph.D., a professor of nutrition and gastrointestinal physiology with the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, explained that gut bacteria play a variety of roles, including assisting in the digestion and absorption of nutrients; influencing gene expression; supporting the immune system; and affecting body weight and susceptibility to chronic disease.

Feed Matters

The popular adage, “We are what we eat,” applies to animals, as well. New research from Washington State University shows that organic whole milk from pasture-fed cows contains 62 percent higher levels of hearthealthy omega-3 fatty acids compared to conventional, or non-organic, whole milk.

The striking difference is accounted for by the fact that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s national organic program legally requires that organic cows have access to pasture throughout the grazing season. The more time cows spend on high-quality pasture, which includes grass, legumes and hay, the more beneficial the fats will be in their milk. On the other hand, when ruminant animals, designed to graze on pasture, are fed a steady diet of corn and soy, both their milk and meat contain less beneficial fat.

According to Captain Joseph Hibbeln, a lipid biochemist and physician at the National Institutes of Health, American diets have become deficient in omega-3 fatty acids over the past 100 years, largely because of industrial agriculture. Hibbeln believes that consuming more omega-3s may be one of the most important dietary changes Americans can make to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health and enhance children’s brain and eye development, including boosting their IQs.

Coldwater fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines provide excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, dairy and meat from animals raised on pasture can improve our intake, as well.

Faith

How might eating with the “creation” in mind influence food and agriculture trends? Barbara Ross, director of social services for Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri, believes, “People’s common denominator is that we are all part of and integral to the creation.” She considers how “Food,

Hyperlocal Superstars Food Corps is a national nonprofit with a mission to improve school food and thus children’s health and lifelong potential. Active in 15 states, it places teams of young teachers in limited-resource communities to establish school gardens, provide food-based nutrition education and supplement school meals with garden fresh produce. Visit FoodCorps.org. agriculture, environment and economy are bound together in a way that requires we think, plan and act for the dignity of each person and the common good of the human family.” Ross explains that the choices we make in these vital areas affect the richness of our soils, the purity of our air and water and the health of all living things.

Marie George, Ph.D., a professor of philosophy at St. John’s University, in Queens, New York, agrees, “The serious ecological crises we see today stem from the way we think,” and “reveal an

urgent moral need for a new solidarity” to be better stewards of the Earth and its creatures. For example, George sees it as contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer; that’s why she opposes gestation crates and the push for cheap food that exploits animals and the environment in the process.

Kelly Moltzen, a registered dietitian in Bronx, New York, shares a passion for addressing food justice and sustainability from her faith-based perspective of Franciscan spirituality. She believes that, “When we connect our spirituality with the daily act of eating, we can eat in a way that leads to a right relationship with our Creator.” By bridging spirituality with nutrition and the food system, Moltzen hopes to raise awareness of how people can care for their body as a temple and live in right relationship with the Earth, which she perceives as “the larger house of God.”

Fred Bahnson, director of the Food, Faith and Religious Leadership Initiative at Wake Forest University’s School of Divinity, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is the author of Soil and Sacrament: A Spiritual Memoir of Food and Faith. His book takes the reader on a journey to four different faith communities—Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal and Jewish—to explore connections between spiritual nourishment and the cultivation of food.

Bahnson speaks about sacred soil and the communities of mystical microorganisms that lie within and create the foundation for sustenance. He also describes the special power of communal gardens, which welcome all and provide nourishing food, yet come to satisfy more than physical hunger.

Regardless of religious denomination, Amanda Archibald, a registered dietitian in Boulder, Colorado, believes, “We are in a new era of food—one that embraces and honors food producers and food systems that respect soil, environment and humanity itself.”

Powerhouse Herbs Four Backyard Plants Protect Against Disease

by Kathleen Barnes

Mother Nature’s most potent healing herbs are already on most spice racks or growing nearby, often right outside the door.

H

erbs, respected for their healing properties for millennia, have been widely used by traditional healers with great success. Now clinical science supports their medicinal qualities.

Pharmaceutical companies routinely extract active ingredients from herbs for common medications, including the potent pain reliever codeine, derived from Papaver somniferum; the head-clearing antihistamines ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, from Ephedra sinica; and taxol, the chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat several types of cancer, including breast cancer, from Taxus brevifolia. These are among the findings according to Leslie Taylor, a naturopath and herbalist headquartered in Milam County, Texas, and author of The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs.

Even among an abundance of healing herbs, some stand out as nature’s “superherbs” that provide an array of medical properties, according to Rosemary Gladstar, of Barre, Vermont, the renowned author of Herbal Remedies for Vibrant

Health and related works. Two of these, she notes, are widely considered nuisance weeds.

Plantain (Plantago major): Commonly used externally for poultices, open wounds, blood poisoning and bee stings, it also helps relieve a wider variety of skin irritations. According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology, this common “weed” fortifies the liver and reduces inflammation, which may reduce the risk for many kinds of chronic diseases. At least one study, published in the journal Planta Medica, suggests that plantain can enhance the immune system to help fight cancer and infectious diseases.

“Plantain is considered a survival herb because of its high nutritional value,” advises Gladstar, who founded the California School of Herbal Studies, in Sonoma County, in 1978. A new study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry confirms it’s an excellent source of alphatocopherol, a natural form of vitamin E and beta carotene that can be used in salads for those that don’t mind its bitter taste.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Like plantain, dandelion is one of the most powerful medicinal herbs on the planet. “Dandelion is revered wherever you travel, except in the United States, where it is considered noxious,” observes Gladstar.

Americans should reconsider their obsession with eradication. Dandelion root is an effective treatment against several types of cancer, including often-fatal pancreatic and colorectal cancers and melanoma, even those that have proven resistant to chemotherapy and other conventional treatments, according to several studies from the University of Windsor, in England.

Traditionally part of a detoxification diet, it’s also used to treat digestive ailments, reduce swelling and inflammation and stop internal and external bleeding.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Turmeric gives curry powder its vibrant yellow color. “Curcumin, turmeric’s most important active ingredient, is a wealth of health, backed by substantial scientific evidence that upholds its benefits,” says Jan McBarron, a medical and naturopathic doctor in Columbus, Georgia, author of Curcumin:

Caring for your health and the environment

Herb: A plant or a part of a plant that is used as medicine or to give flavor to food. ~ Merriam Webster The 21st Century Cure and co-host of the Duke and the Doctor radio show.

Several human and animal studies have shown that curcumin can be an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, both in prevention and to slow or even stop its progress. One Australian study showed that curcumin helps rid the body of heavy metals that may be an underlying cause of the memory-robbing disease.

Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that curcumin helped dissolve the plaques and tangles of brain material characteristic to Alzheimer’s.

Curcumin is also known to be effective in lessening depression and preventing heart disease, some types of cancer and diabetes, says McBarron.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Primarily used for its considerable anti-inflammatory properties, ginger makes a delicious and

healing tea and an enticing spice in a variety of dishes. This herbal powerhouse has at least 477 active ingredients, according to Beyond Aspirin, by Thomas M. Newmark and Paul Schulick.

Considerable research confirms ginger’s effectiveness against a variety of digestive problems, including nausea from both morning sickness and chemotherapy.

Research from Florida’s University of Miami also confirms its usefulness in reducing knee pain.

“Ginger is a good-tasting herb to treat any type of bacterial, fungal or viral infection,” says Linda Mix, a retired registered nurse in Rogersville, Tennesse, and author of Herbs for Life!

The health benefits of these four vital herbs are easily accessed by growing them in a home garden or pot or via extracted supplements.

icture a salad of mixed lettuces or romaine accented with microgreens and ripe, red tomatoes alongside an entrée of tilapia, complemented by a dessert of fresh strawberries—all organic, eco-friendly and freshly harvested, even in the middle of winter. The ingredients for this meal don’t have to travel many miles to reach the table—they can be found just several feet away, thanks to aquaponics.

“Aquaculture is fish farming, hydroponics is soilless gardening,” explains Becca Self, executive director of educational nonprofit FoodChain, in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. “Aquaponics is a mutually beneficial blend of the two. Our indoor aquaponics system produces about 150 pounds of fresh tilapia every month, plus nearly 200 pounds of lettuces, herbs and microgreens.”

FoodChain, which shares production space in a former bread factory with Smithtown Seafood and West Sixth Brewing, hosted 2,000 guests and was the destination for 54 field trips last year by farmers, church groups, Rotary clubs and students of all grade levels. The seafood restaurant’s website notes, “We can step outside our back door into the farm for our

superfood salad greens, herbs and tilapia.”

FoodChain is also finding a way to use waste grain from the microbrewery as fish food. According to brewmaster Robin Sither, the grain is free of genetic engineering, but not organic. He notes that it’s rare for a brewery to use organic grain.

The general hydroponics concept dates back to ancient practices in Chinese rice fields, Egyptian bottomlands flooded by the Nile River and Aztec floating gardens perched on low rafts layered with rich bottom muck. By the early 20th century, chemists had identified solutions of 13 specific nutrients which, added to water, could entirely substitute for fertile soil. That’s when William F. Gericke, Ph.D., of the University of California-Berkeley, took the science of hydroponics into commercial production.

“In today’s space-efficient, closed, recirculating aquaponic systems that combine fish tanks and plant troughs, fish waste provides fertilizer for the plants, while the plants clean the water for fish,” says Gina Cavaliero, owner of Green Acre Aquaponics, in Brooksville, Florida. The 2013 Aquaponics Association Conference, in Tucson, Arizona, reported that aquaponic plants grow faster and offer higher

yields, plus the sustainable technology recycles 90 percent of the water.

In Denver, JD Sawyer, president of Colorado Aquaponics, operates a 3,000-square-foot farm in a food desert neighborhood (without easy access to fresh, healthy, affordable food). Koi, tilapia and hybrid striped bass fertilize romaine, bib lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, chives and strawberries. Other crops include tomatoes, peppers, yellow squash and root vegetables like beets and carrots. Tilapia and bass sell to the community and restaurants; koi are used in livestock ponds.

Sawyer remarks, “An aquaponics system can be indoors or out, depending on the climate, for commercial use or in the home. The basement, garage or a spare room is ideal for growing your own food.” Home garden sizes range from a 20-gallon aquarium to a 10-by-20-foot area.

Avery Ellis, an ecological designer and permaculture specialist in Boulder, Colorado, builds dynamic, living, nonconventional systems. “The temperature in most homes is near 70 degrees, an

“We like to use heirloom varieties; we don’t want just pretty plants that have diluted flavor. Butter lettuce is the tilapia of plants— it’s easy to grow for a good yield.” ~ Erik Oberholtzer, Tender Greens restaurants ideal temperature for a tropical fish like tilapia,” he says. “A 50-gallon fish tank, a 50-gallon storage bin and a timer to feed the fish automatically and supply light can be a self-sustaining system.”

Outdoors, a greenhouse or geodesic dome can house the system. “A harmonious balance maintains itself, and we enjoy maximum yields from little labor,” says Ellis. He reflects that the solutions for feeding the world exist if we just open our eyes to what needs to be done. For those that don’t care to harvest and clean fish, decorative koi species work well.

Aquaponics Advantages 4 Enthusiasts can start small 4 No soil is needed 4 No fertilizer is needed (provided by the fish) 4 No toxic pesticides 4 Uses 90 percent less water than conventional methods 4 Plants help filter indoor air 4 Pests and diseases are easier to spot for treatment 4 Growing basil helps repel pests 4 Operator controls nutrition levels at less cost and waste 4 No nutrients pollute the larger environment 4 Stable, high yields of organic produce and safe-fed fish 4 Year-round production from indoor systems 4 Easy to harvest; fish harvesting is optional 4 Aesthetic enjoyment

Erik Oberholtzer, founder and owner of Tender Greens restaurants, which sources from nearby southern California farms and is exploring ways to install an aquaponics system in each of its restaurants, explains, “The world is suffering from a loss of growing habitat, genetically modified seeds and global warming. Aquaponics enables growers to stay ahead of climate change, making it the future of sustainable farming. It’s an ethical way to make quality food healthy, affordable and profitable.”

Aquaponics methods deliver fish free of mercury and genetically modified fish food, plus the freshest vegetables possible, all without the worry of weeds, rabbits, insects, suspect fertilizers, toxic herbicides and pesticides. A home aquaponics system can be one of the best green investments to make in 2014. According to Oberholtzer, “Eating this way should not be a luxury.”

n recent years, Pediatrician William Sears has seen many more cases of asthma and eczema in his San Clemente, California, office. Dairy and wheat remain the biggest culprits, but experts believe new factors may be contributing to the rise in food sensitivities, including synthetic additives like partially hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and flavors and sweeteners, plus genetically modified ingredients.

Often undiagnosed and untreated, food intolerances can cause long-term tissue damage, warns Sears, author of The NDD Book, which addresses what he calls nutrient deficit disorder without resorting to drugs. Increasingly, kids are developing formerly adultonset diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, cardiovascular disease and acid reflux, he says.

If it seems that a child is having a dietary reaction, first look for clues. “A lot of parents already suspect the answer,” says Kelly Dorfman, a licensed nutritionist dietitian and author of What’s Eating Your Child? Become a “nutrition detective”, she suggests. Here’s how to assess conditions and find solutions.

Spitting Up

Suspects: Intolerance to casein—a protein prevalent in dairy cow milk different from its form in breast milk that can get into mothers’ milk or formula—tends to irritate an infant’s gut lining, causing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and then chronic ear infections or constipation, says Dorfman.

Action: Remove dairy from the baby’s and nursing mom’s diet for at least a week. For formula feeding, choose a brand made with predigested casein or whey. To heal baby’s damaged intestinal lining, give 10 billion CFU (colony

forming units) daily of probiotic bacteria, mixed in a bottle or sprinkled on food.

Chronic Diarrhea

Suspects: Intolerance to gluten (a protein in wheat and other grains) or lactose (dairy sugar). Diarrhea, the gastrointestinal tract’s way of eliminating problematic substances, plus gas and bloating, often accompany these intolerances. Lactose intolerance is usually a root cause and is present in nearly everyone that’s gluten intolerant, Dorfman says.

Action: Get a blood test to check for celiac disease, then eliminate gluten for at least a month. Although the diarrhea could end within a week, “You need a few weeks to see a trend,” counsels Dorfman. Consume fermented dairy products like cheese and yogurt, which have low lactose levels; cream dairy products may also test OK.

Chronic Ear Infections

Suspects: Dairy intolerance and for many, soy sensitivity. Some research has shown that 90 percent of kids with recurring ear infections or ear fluid have food reactions, corroborated by Dorfman’s patients.

Action: Quit dairy and soy for several months to verify a correlation. Dorfman recommends eliminating soy milk, soy yogurt and tofu, adding that ultrasensitive individuals may need to avoid processed foods that contain soy byproducts.

Action: Eliminate gluten for a month to assess a potential connection between mood and food, possibly signaled by excessive eating of a certain food.

Stunted Growth

Suspects: Gluten sensitivity or zinc deficiency. Because gluten intolerance interferes with nutrient absorption, suffering kids often fail to thrive. “Small size—height or weight—is a classic symptom of celiac disease,” Dorfman advises.

Zinc could be another factor; it normalizes appetite and through its relationship with growth hormones, helps the body develop. If levels are too low, growth will be abnormally stunted. In such cases, a child may rarely be hungry, be a picky eater or complain that food smells or tastes funny, Dorfman says.

Action: Eliminate gluten consumption for a month. A blood test by a pediatrician can determine serum zinc levels, or buy a zinc sulfate taste test online. After sipping a zinc sulfate solution, the child will report either tasting nothing (indicating deficiency) or a bad flavor (no deficiency). Zinc-rich foods include beef, chicken, beans, pumpkin seeds, cashews and chickpeas. To counter a deficiency, ask a family healthcare provider for an age-appropriate supplement dose.

Pamela Bond is the managing editor of Natural Foods Merchandiser.

Itchy Skin

Suspects: Reaction to gluten, casein (in dairy products) and eggs plus oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, strawberries and pineapple.

Action: Because itchiness can suggest a histamine response, ask an allergist for an IgE radioallergosorbent (RAST) blood test to detect food sensitivities.

Hyperactivity

Suspects: Sensitivity to artificial colors or sugar. According to Sears, children’s underdeveloped blood-brain barrier increases vulnerability to the neurotoxic effects of chemical food additives, including artificial colors and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Action: When possible, buy organic foods certified to contain no artificial colors. Otherwise, scrutinize food labels for the nine petroleum-based synthetic dyes in U.S. foods: Blue 1 and 2, Citrus Red 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3 and 40, Yellow 5 and 6. Avoid ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose, glucose, fructose, cane sugar and syrup—all added sugars.

Crankiness

Suspects: Gluten sensitivity is traditionally associated exclusively with digestive disturbances, but some recent studies have linked it to neurological symptoms, from moodiness and chronic headaches to ADHD and coordination loss.

GLUTEN-FREE

ON THE GO Safe Eating Away from Home

by Judith Fertig

A

lthough following a diet without gluten has become easier due to increased availability and labeling of gluten-free foods, we still need to know how to make sure which foods strictly qualify. We always have more control in our own kitchen, yet we’re not always eating at home. Natural Awakenings asked experts to comment on reasons for the demand and offer practical tips and tactics for healthy eating on the go.

According to the Center for Celiac Research & Treatment, 18 million Americans are now gluten sensitive, 3 million more suffer from celiac disease, and the numbers continue to skyrocket, says Dr. David Perlmutter, a neurologist and author of Grain Brain. Gluten, a naturally occurring protein in wheat, barley and rye, is prevalent in the modern American diet. Perlmutter points to new wheat hybrids and increasing amounts of gluten in processed foods as exacerbating the problem. He particularly cites today’s overuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications as contributors to “inappropriate and excessive reactions to what might otherwise have represented a non-threatening protein like gluten.”

Solutions at Work

Jules Shepard, a mother of two in Washington, D.C., and author of Free for All Cooking: 150 Easy Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Recipes the Whole Family Can Enjoy who also shares recipes at Blog.JulesGlutenFree.com, remembers when going out for a glutenfree lunch was difficult. “The friendly lunch spots my coworkers and I used to enjoy on a weekly and sometimes even daily basis were no longer friendly for me,” she says. “There was nothing on the menu I could eat, and it seemed better for everyone if I simply stayed in the office. But it isolated me socially from my colleagues and deprived me of a much-needed midday break that had been such an enjoyable part of my routine.” Attending catered breakfasts or lunches for office meetings also presented difficulties.

Shepard learned that it’s best to be prepared and pack something, even if it’s only a snack. “Some of my favorites include fresh fruit, like apples or bananas with peanut or almond butter, washed berries, applesauce, coconut yogurt, hummus and red peppers, trail mix, dry cereals like granola, and nutrition bars. I keep a variety of these bars in my purse and car year-round, so I’m never bored with my choices.”

“Gluten-free instant oatmeal is a staple in my life,” advises Shepard.

46

She never leaves home without it, regardless of the length of the trip. “All you need is a cup or a bowl and some boiling water. Be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats, because regular oats can be contaminated with gluten grains.”

Shepard also recommends avoiding presweetened varieties.

Kate Chan, a teacher and mother of two in suburban Seattle, Washington, who has been following a gluten-free diet since 2000, has solved the problem of eating healthy at work another way: The family cooks extra the night before.

“While cleaning up the kitchen, I just pack the leftovers for lunch. I like to vary the side dishes a bit if I pack side dishes at all, and toss in fruit and more vegetables,” she says. Chan likes to use a bento-style lunch box with several compartments, plus thermal containers, so she can enjoy a variety of gluten-free lunch options.

On the Road In Los Angeles, California, Kristine Kidd, former food editor at Bon Appétit, has recently returned to gluten-free eating. On her menu-planning and recipe blog, KristineKidd.com, and in her cookbook, Weeknight Gluten Free, she recommends whole, fresh foods from farmers’ markets that are naturally gluten-free. When she and her husband hike the Sierra Mountains, she carries homemade, high-fiber, gluten-free cookies to eat on the way up and packs gluten-free soups such as butternut squash and black bean, corn tortillas with fresh fillings, and fruit for a delicious lunch upon reaching the peak.

Some gluten-free snacks can contain as many empty calories as other types of junk food, notes Registered Dietitian Katharine Tallmadge. “Many ‘gluten-free’ products are made with refined, unenriched grains and starches, which contain plenty of calories, but few vitamins or minerals.” She agrees with Kidd and others that choosing whole, natural, fresh foods, which are naturally gluten-free, makes for healthy eating wherever we go.

wisewords From “Why Me?” to “Thank You!”

Wayne Dyer on the Value of Hard Lessons

by Linda Sechrist

A

fter four decades teaching selfdevelopment and empowerment and authoring more than 30 bestselling books, Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D., shares dozens of events from his life in his latest work, I Can See Clearly Now. In unflinching detail, he relates vivid impressions of encountering many forks in the road, from his youth in Detroit to the present day, and reflects on these events from his current perspective, noting what lessons he ultimately learned.

What has writing this book taught you and how can it help others better understand their own lives?

My biggest lesson was that our whole life is like a checkerboard. When I looked back on my life, I began to realize this and gained an awareness of the fact that there’s something else moving all of the pieces around. The key to attracting this mystical guidance into your life is to start with awareness that all things are possible and to forget about yourself. When you get your ego out of the picture, your inner mantra isn’t, “What’s in it for me? and “How much more can I get?” Instead, when your inner mantra is, “How may I serve or what may I do for you?” and you practice consistently living this way, you attract this mystical guidance.

I have found that the more I do this, the

48

more these miracles show up.

There are 60 chapters in the book. Every time I finished one, I would think: “Now I can see clearly why I had to go through all of these experiences and learn all these lessons.” As a result, I suggest that whenever something happens that leads you to ask, “Why is this happening to me?” shift instead to the awareness that all experiences, no matter what, are gifts.

You describe the influential patterns and motivators in your life as diamonds and stones; how would you characterize your childhood years in foster homes?

I can now see that spending the better part of my first decade in a series of foster homes was all a part of God’s infallible plan for me. I believe I was in a type of training camp for becoming a teacher of higher spiritual and commonsense principles. If I was going to spend my adult life teaching, lecturing and writing on self-reliance, then I obviously needed to learn to rely upon myself and be in a position to never be dissuaded from this awareness. What better training ground for teaching this than an early childhood that required a sense of independence and need for self-sufficiency? Now that I know that every encounter, challenge and situation is a spectacular thread in a tapestry, and that each represents and

Palm Beach Edition

defines my life, I am deeply grateful for them all.

Each of us has a mission of some kind to fulfill at the moment we make the shift from nowhere to now here, from spirit to form. I’ve seen firsthand how this universe has a creative source of energy supporting it that is literally the matrix of all matter. Nothing occurs by happenstance anywhere, because this universal mind is perpetually on call, going about its miraculous ways in terms of infinite possibilities.

What can you see clearly about your role as a parent?

I’ve watched my eight children show up from birth with their unique personalities and blossom into their own awakenings.

I know for certain that the one Divine mind that is responsible for all of creation has a hand in this engaging mystery. Same parents, same environment, same culture and yet eight individuals, with their own distinctive character traits. Khalil Gibran stated it perfectly in The Prophet: “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”

Each of my children had their blueprint from God. My job has been to guide, then step aside and let whatever is inside them that is their own uniqueness steer the course of their lives.

What has your life taught you about prayer?

I feel that the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi says it best: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is darkness, let me bring light. Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.” The masters I’ve studied pray to become more godly, more like where we originally came from.

My prayer is always, “Help me to remind myself to get rid of this ego and to be like You are. Help me to be my highest self, the place within that is God.” Linda Sechrist is a Natural Awakenings senior staff writer. Visit ItsAllAboutWe. com for the extended interview.

Online Friends Help Us Stay on Track

umans are inherently social creatures. Most of us enjoy the company of others and spend much of our waking time engaging in social interactions with colleagues, friends and family. People that spend a lot of time together often adopt one another’s eating and exercise habits—sometimes for the better, but often for the worse.

At least one positive side to wishing to conform socially is unexpected. Finding the right circle of friends—our own personal support group—can make sticking to an exercise schedule or diet easier. It’s a key factor in the popularity of organized weight-loss groups and exercise classes.

Studies published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and the Journal of Obesity demonstrate that just having a weight-loss or fitness support system in place results in better adherence to diet and exercise with more pounds shed and kept off over the long term. Researchers believe that in addition to the motivation and accountability supporters

Cycles of Growth Cultivate Our Divinity

by April Thompson

G

“

ardening is not about having or taking; it’s about giving,” says Connecticut psychotherapist Gunilla Norris, author of A Mystic Garden: Working with Soil, Attending to Soul. “And in giving, the garden gives back to you.” She deems the art of practicing gratitude in the garden as an intentional path for cultivating spirituality.“Every day, go out and thank the ground. Life is burgeoning all around us, all the time,” she continues.

“If we can just appreciate that, it’s a big deal.”

It’s hard not to be humbled and awed by the miracle of life when we see a seedling push its tiny green head above ground, lean toward the sun and unfurl its first set of leaves. Each bit of plant life is simply fulfilling its mission to grow and be.

“Gardening enhances our relationship to the Earth. Through gardening, we are helping to heal the planet, which is part of the work we are all called to do,” remarks Al Fritsch, a Jesuit priest in Ravenna, Kentucky, and author of the ebook, Spiritual Growth Through Domestic Gardening (free at EarthHealing.info/ garden.htm). Over his lifetime, Fritsch has helped turn a parking lot, a section of church lawn, and overgrown bottomland all into thriving gardens. In his view, “It gives us a sense of home, roots us in place.”

Palm Beach Edition

We can even discover our personal calling through cultivating a garden while gleaning endless spiritual lessons: Here dwells patience and an appreciation for the natural order of things; no fertilizer can force a flower to bloom before its time. Here resides mindfulness as we learn to notice changes in the plants under our care and discern what they need to thrive. Here abides interdependence; we wouldn’t have carrots, corn or cherries without the bats, birds, and bees playing in the pollen. In a garden, we naturally accept the cycle of life, death and rebirth as we bid adieu to the joy of seasonal colors and let flowerbeds rest in peace, anticipating their budding and blooming again.

Just as the fruits of growing a garden exceed the doing—the weeding and seeding and countless other tasks—so do the riches of tending a spiritual life surpass the striving. We do well to rejoice in the sacred space created, cherishing every spiritual quality nurtured within and reflected in the Divine handiwork.

Breathing in the floral perfume carried by the breeze and reveling in the multihued textures of living artistry, we celebrate the fact that we too, are playing our part of the natural miracle of life.

MOMENTS OF MINDFULNESS

By Thich Nhat Hanh

T

his little book is the latest offering by the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk, considered by many to be one of the premiere teachers of Western Buddhism. It is broken down into fifty-two meditations to provide you with a year’s worth, one week at a time, of reflections on mindfulness. By working with each meditation for a full week, to whatever extent you feel inspired, allows the essence of the meditation to settle more deeply within. So often the mind reads something familiar and dismisses it by thinking, “Yeah, I get that.” But it is always helpful to spend time with it, open to it, and allow yourself to fall more deeply into subtler and subtler experiences of it to unfold.

One of the first things that caught my eye about this gem of a book is the opening poem, Please Call Me by My True Names.

This was written in 1978 during some extraordinarily difficult times for his native country, Vietnam. It speaks to his profound devotion to compassion as he opens to the innate suffering which must be present in both sides of any conflict. I remember first coming across this poem decades ago and being deeply touched by it.

The book also presents ideas and suggestions to bring mindfulness into different areas of your life. For instance in the section on eating mindfully he reminds us to simply be aware of what we are eating, not chew on our future plans or anger.

Here are a few excerpts: There is no distinction between the one who gives, the one who receives, and the gift itself.

We don’t have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the clear water of our heart.

A flower does not have to do anything to be of service. It only has to be a flower. That is enough. A human being, a true human being, is enough to make the whole world rejoice.

Through mindfulness you will find that you have even more reasons to be happy than you thought.

Peace is all around us and within us. Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith; it is a matter of practice.

True love takes a lot of courage because it is a commitment to help remove suffering and offer well-being.

Everything we think, feel, and do has an effect on our ancestors and all future generations and reverberates throughout the universe.

Understanding is the foundation of love.

For the month of March 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.

pitherapy is the use of bee products for health purposes.

There are several bee products used: honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom. Historically, using bee products and beekeeping are thousands of years old. The Chinese wrote about bee products over 2000 years ago, and Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, prescribed propolis to heal sores, both internal and external. Ancient Egyptians used propolis also as a medicine. Honey was used in Ancient Rome to pay taxes. Honey is mentioned several times in the Old Testament: “Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

(Proverbs 16:24) Winnie the Pooh went to great lengths to procure his “hunny”. And we call our loved ones, well, “honey”!

HONEY: is made by bees from the nectar of flowers. Actually, they eat the nectar, digest it a bit, then regurgitate the honey, as a stored, concentrated form of nectar for their own food use later. As most smart kids figure out sooner or later and parents affirm: yes, dear, honey is bee barf. Honey is about 70% sugar: fructose, glucose, and maltose. The other ingredients are vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, manganese, and sodium, as well as organic acids, amino acids, and enzymes. Honey has no dosage per se. Yes, it’s great for sore throats, and yes, it tastes great in place of sugar on most foods.

Honey comes in many flavors because of the many flower sources used by the bees. It does have antibacterial properties, and is used medicinally for wound dressing.

BEE POLLEN: is collected by bees from the male germ cell of the flower and looks like yellow dust on the bees. As the bees travel from flower to flower, they fertilize the female germ cells of those flowers with the pollen, thus providing a valuable service to the plants. Much of our agriculture could not exist without this simple act of the bees.

When the bees get back to their hive, they add digestive enzymes and nectar to their stored pollen. Bee pollen contains all eight essential amino acids, thus it is high in protein, as well as vitamins and minerals such as the B vitamins (no pun intended), vitamin C, antioxidants, and some plant hormones. Some people can be quite allergic to pollen, so it is wise to test it out in tiny amounts first if you’re not sure. Pollen can be used to build up one’s resistance to allergens if taken in gradual amounts. Pollen, in lab animals, can enhance growth and development, acts as an antioxidant, and seems to protect against poisoning from organic solvents. Even though pollen has no estrogen, it has been shown to improve some menopausal symptoms in women. I have seen it help my patients with

seasonal allergies, as well as boost their energy. Dosage for bee pollen is 1-3 tablespoons daily.

PROPOLIS: is collected by bees from the resin of tree and plant leaves and bark. It is used by the bees to coat and glue the inside of the beehive and the honeycomb, because it has antibacterial and antiviral properties. Propolis has similar nutritional qualities to pollen. It has been shown in lab animals to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Like pollen, it can be used to strengthen the immune system. It has been used to treat the common cold, inflammatory bowel disease, and parasitic infections of the gastrointestinal tract in humans with varying results. It is also used in creams and cosmetics. The dosage for propolis is 100-500 mg up to three times daily.

ROYAL JELLY: is produced in the throat glands of worker bees by mixing honey, bee pollen, and digestive enzymes together to feed worker and queen bees in their larval stages; I guess it’s called royal jelly because the queen larvae get more of it for longer periods of time than the worker larvae (and yes, it’s more bee barf). It may be the increased feeding of royal jelly to the queen larvae that makes them bigger, stronger, and live longer than the workers, and humans have picked up on that point and used it for themselves with no research proof that it works on humans like it does on queen bees.

Royal jelly can lower cholesterol and increase one’s energy, and it has similar nutritional qualities, but in different amounts, to pollen.

The daily dosage is 50-250 mg. Again, like all bee products, one can have allergic reactions, from mild to severe, so use caution. If you have allergies to bee products, you must inspect the ingredients of many foods, especially the “natural” foods that often use honey.

There are no known drug interactions with bee products.

BEESWAX: is secreted by the worker bees from glands under their bodies (what shall the kids call that?), and is actually made from the honey they eat. Beeswax is used to make their honeycombs, their homes. Bees have to eat 2-4 pounds of honey to produce one pound of beeswax. Beeswax is used by us human types in skin creams, ointments, lipsticks, lip balms, coating tablets and capsules for medicines, candles, etc. There is no known dosage.

BEE VENOM: comes from the bee’s sting, and again, many people can be deadly allergic to it. Bee venom therapy is used by many people for treating rheumatic diseases, especially osteoarthritis, and multiple sclerosis. I can’t argue that it has helped some people, but this will require a lot more research to make it more acceptable to most of us. If you are considering bee venom therapy, please speak with a doctor who is familiar with it first.

PSYCHOPHYSICAL INTEGRATION TRAGER™

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

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