"The genius here is in the blending of the conscious and unconscious minds to achieve our highest potential. Breathing is good medicine."

-- Christopher C. French, MD, MPH

"Judith Kravitz is the most impressive teacher for breathwork I have ever encountered in both the East and the West. Her techniques have the power to lead one to have a direct experience of liberation on many levels. You may call it a short cut to enlightenment."

DR. JUDITH KRAVITZ DM,

an ordained minister, has taught and advanced the field of Breathwork for over 3 decades.

She was inspired by a personal experience of self-healing a cancer on her neck, based on principles and skills acquired through her work with the breath. Her book, "Breathe Deep, Laugh Loudly", is the ultimate breather's manual as we embrace major transitions in the paradigms for health and well-being.

-- Rinpoche Tulku Thubten, Tibetan Buddhist Lama

DUNCAN CENTER PRESENTS ALLIANCE OF DIVINE LOVE : Join us in Saving the Planet and Humankind? Why not?

D

o you believe in the science of intention? Can we take part in tipping the scales of karmic quanta in service to Gaia, our Mother Earth? We think so…Many political operatives would have us believe that we can end war with more war.

Even the average heart-centered individual knows this simply can’t work. So, what will work? Driven to “Think Globally, Act Locally,” the Alliance of Divine Love (ADL) is offering “Divine Gaia” at the Duncan Retreat Center in Delray Beach. Join us and act in concert with conscious community to energetically anchor the true antidote for dark forces threatening our beautiful blue planet and her inhabitants.

On Saturday, November 22, 2014, ADL opens its national conference to all likehearted individuals of South Florida. We welcome activists, the curious and all spiritually engaged individuals. This is a gathering for learning, Love, music, meditation, and metaphysics to set intentions for wholeness on our planet.

Select from individual events or join us for the entire day - including 2 meals for just $99.

Keynote Presenter 10:00 AM Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, the internationally renowned great granddaughter of Dwight D Eisenhower opens the event. Living with the genetics of the brilliant General who warned us about the “military industrial complex” and UFOs, Laura has nurtured her DNA into a divine mission of “Global Transformation.” Her teachings focus on the rise of the Divine Feminine. She offers inspiration, information and much needed action tools for restoring the balance of humanity and nature. Lecture is $33. Lecture & Lunch $55. Register @http://divinegaia1122.eventbrite.com

Afternoon of Healing and Light Are you in need of a miracle healing?

Body, mind and soul all need nurturing. Dr. Barry Joneshill, Doctor of Naturopathy and Divinity is a natural wellness counselor with his practice in Rosebud, Arkansas. His Thaumaturge line of inspired remedies was created to reinforce his teachings. Thaumaturge is an ancient Greek word meaning “the bringer of miracles.”

Are you looking for a message from spirit?

We crown the afternoon with Spirit and Joseph LoBrutto III. Well known in our area, Joseph is an international Psychic Medium. He’s author of “Is There More to Life Thank What We Know? A Spiritual Journey and Awakening To Finding God” He is our connection to the other side, to souls who offer us the wisdom from beyond physical life. Full Afternoon (both events) only $33 An Evening of Rapturous Sound Following dinner, experience conscious dreamtime in our concert with 2 sound masters: Sophia Soundhealer, international recording artist and multi-instrumentalist who uses her music to heal and uplift and Robert Austin, crystal bowl sound healer who uses the resonance of crystals to balance the chakras and re-energize the auric field. Evening Concert Only is $33

newsbriefs “In The Air Tonight”David Frangioni Redefines The Beat Of Miami. December 6th Acclaimed Celebrity Sound Technologist Set to Play with Phil Collins at the Little Dreams Foundation Charity Event

D

avid Frangioni, the Founder and CEO of Audio One, the award winning home automation and theatre system, announces he will play at the Fillmore on December 6 with Phil Collins. Frangioni will be drumming for Phil Collins, Laura Pausini, Alejandra Guzman and Jermaine Jackson at as part of the Little Dreams Foundation Charity concert.

The Little Dreams Foundation (LDF) charity is close to Frangioni’s heart as it helps young, underprivileged children obtain lessons, career direction and mentoring at a time when they need it most. When David turned 2 years old, he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, cancer of the eye.

Since then, he has been blind in his right eye while finding music as his refuge.

Today, he can give back to kids that are suffering from cancer, and provide a helping hand during this difficult long journey; something he did not have while growing up in Boston. “Nothing is easy, everything worthwhile requires hard work. LDF gives kids the opportunity to learn how important hard work really is, while getting invaluable

coaching along the way. All at no cost to the children, funded by donations to the LDF. It’s a wonderful cause with great results to show” says Frangioni.

The December 6 concert will also feature, the 2014 class of LDF children, an amazing group of extremely talented children that have worked all year long for this moment. And backing them up on every song will be their mentor, David Frangioni, drumming as he has for the past 40+ years.

Frangioni said “Playing with the children will be so gratifying and when you have Phil Collins as the head-liner that evening, it’s going to be memorable for everyone in attendance. We can’t wait to give Miami a special concert, it’s a great city that deserves the goodness that LDF brings to it.”

About David Frangioni: Frangioni has had a pretty unique career; He was the Chief Engineer Technologist for the group Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne (appearing on the TV show The Osbournes), Rolling Stones, Elton John, Ringo Starr and hundreds more. Frangioni is also the author of an internationally published book on Clint Eastwood. He’s received dozens of gold records and founded Audio One, which is considered the world’s leading home automation firm. A musician since the age of 8, Frangioni has mentored hundreds of students in performance-coaching, through the IDA Program, and digital audio workstations with Pro Media Training (2 different companies of David's, serving the music business in 7 cities throughout the USA).

If you’d like more information on David Frangioni and the Little Dreams Foundation Charity Concert please reach out to me, Shanel at Shanel@Blinkpr.com.

Crystal Creations Bead institute, Beads Gone Wild is celebrating their 25th year in business!

C

rystal Creations Bead institute, Beads Gone Wild is celebrating their 25th year in business. As South Florida’s largest, most complete bead shop, they are known for their huge inventory, and their original and fun classes. Owner, Glenda Paunonen, was named a designer for the year for 2014 from Beadwork magazine.

This is a huge honor with the many incredibly talented artists in the beading world today. Crystal Creations started out when Glenda opened a small shop to make crystal and chakra Jewelry. The shop really only had beads because they were made of natural stones that were considered to have healing properties. The beads really took off and the shop grew and evolved. Today the Beads Gone Wild carries and specializes in beads of all types, over 150 different classes, and a shop where they pride themselves on providing their customers with the complete beading experience.

To kick off the 25th year celebration, Crystal Creations is offering selected beading classes, through the month of November for the unbelievable price of $15.00! There will be special sales, and events as well throughout the month.

Now is the time to get together with friends to bond and share your artistic creativity in an educational and fun class! Meaningful holiday presents will be easy to create after taking a Crystal Creations “Intro to Beading Class.” We all have that friend or relative who had a very small wrist or who loves a particular color, some friends who may need their bracelets a bit larger, or some who want a certain color for awareness jewelry. You’ll be able to do it all after taking just one 2.5 hour class! Customers have said it is truly surprising how much you can actually do after just one class. If you know someone who would enjoy nurturing their creative spirit, surprise and delight them with a Crystal Creations gift card—It’s good towards classes or any merchandise carried in their Forest Hill Location or web site, www.beadsgonewild.com Let this be the year you explore your creativity!

newsbriefs TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH & WELLNESS Tuesday, November 18th @ 7:00pm • Agape Healing Arts, Tequesta FL

A

re you tired of synthetic medications that have long lists of side effects?

As you know, the lists are endless, and dangerous, they just might even kill you.

Why aren't there warning labels for good side effects? Wouldn't it be nice to read a medicine bottle that says: “Warning, This product may cause a cascade of health affirming side effects and mind-blowing AWESOMENESS!“ Wouldn't it be lovely to see warning labels like that? It just isn't so. The reality is our healthcare system is broken. We spend billions of dollars on SICK-CARE and we are the sickest nation in the world. Something has to change. We need to take our power back.

NOW IS THE TIME to take back your power in the form of knowledge which leads to EMPOWERMENT. The power of knowing that nature, herbs, tinctures, the very elements that scientist study and try to replicate in a lab with synthetic chemicals, have the ability to expose root cause of disease and heal us from the “inside out”.

This is true HEALTH-CARE and it doesn’t have to be as hard and challenging as it may seem. Its quite simple. We are here to show you just how simple it can be.

We are breaking it down all the way back to the basics. KISS “Keep it sweet and simple.” Your body knows how to heal itself. All healing is within you, this is called the “inside out approach” to health and wellness. Knowledge is power, and we believe everyone should have access to it. Our mission is to EMPOWER YOU to take control of your own HEALTH-CARE through means of preventative and holistic medicine, education and SELF-CARE. We invite you to come and discover more about the digestive system, the power of natural medicine, gifts of the earth in the form of certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils, supplements that will change your life, and most of all, discover more about you. No one knows yourself more than you do, and therefore only you will know what works and what does not. If what currently takes place isn’t working, give yourself the opportunity to explore these new yet ancient ways of health & wellness.

Come visit us at our educational interactive Event on Tuesday, November 18th at 7pm to learn and experience for yourself one of the amazing tools of self-care and

empowerment called doTERRA's (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. You will learn how to easily incorporate essential oils into your lifestyle for an affordable and safe form of healthcare.

You will learn why doTERRA oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial oils available today, the three ways that they can be used (these are so pure, most can be taken internally), and we will review and pass around some of doTERRA's most used oils for you to experience. This event will teach you how to Makeover Your Medicine Cabinet from toxic to natural in one hour!

Learn how to use essential oils to: alleviate coughs, colds & ear infections, relieve stress and anxiety, assist in first aid & pain relief, remove impurities from the air, support for digestion, mood & allergies, along with Much, Much More!! **This is an Agape Healing Arts Special Event (which means extra perks), you won't want to miss it! Free Chinese Tongue and Pulse diagnosis, Community Acupuncture and ARōMATOUCH Technique for your hands will begin promptly at 6:30pm - first come first serve until the class begins. Space is limited so reserve your seat today. RSVP REQUIRED. Call to preregister 561-76-AGAPE or visit www.AgapeHealingArts.com to preregister. SPECIAL Note ~ There will be product giveaways at this event!

Bring Simrit Kaur Concert To Play In Palm Beach County

H

ealing, Hypnotic, Mystical and Majestic are just a few words that describe the spiritual music of Simrit Kaur. The rapidly rising spiritual music singer will be, for the first time, performing a concert in Palm Beach County at the Duncan Conference center and music hall in Delray on December 14, 2014. Tickets are available at www.brightstarevents.net in advance.

Simrit was born in Athens, Greece before coming to the US. Her music was influenced by the mystical Byzantine music of Greece. She also studied and was moved by devotional music from Africa and India. Simrit’s energy and music have a way of merging with the soul and deeply touches all of her listeners.

She is an independent artist who runs her own record label, Simrit Kaur Music. Two of her albums have hit iTunes Top World Charts. Her newest album is at the number two spot at iTunes. Simrit world tours sharing her gift of inspiration and healing through music. She is a renaissance woman who revolutionizes Mantra music and uses her music to gather and heal people. Her song, “The Revolution” gives us the courage to be who we really are and to speak our truth in the midst of fear. Her music is described as epic and beyond our conventional world experiences.

Simrit is a student, practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga/Naad Yoga, which is the science of sound and consciousness. Simrit sings from a place of spacious happiness and her voice carries the pure sound of limitless joy and celestial blessings.

REBORN INTO THE PURITY OF NATURE

J

oin Ialorixá Ana Maria de Xangô for an experience of rebirth within the awe-inspiring relationship with nature we each have. “Umbanda is a spiritual tradition based on devotion to a living relationship with God, the Orixás, spiritual guides and all of the natural world.

It is built on the principles of love, charity, truth, humility, and faith,” the Ialorixá explains.

“It was formed within the unique Brazilian religious culture that unites several traditions, including Catholicism, Spiritism, Afro-Brazilian traditions and indigenous spirituality.”

“Under the direction of spiritual guides, practitioners learn to conduct the life-giving forces of nature to help them develop spiritually, emotionally and on their life path. Today, the principles of Umbanda and Spiritist philosophy are used in Spiritist mental health hospitals across Brazil to cure people of maladies with origins otherwise hidden from the view of the traditional medical community.”Ialorixá Xangô has been practicing in the spiritual lineage of Umbanda and Candomblé her entire life, and has taught workshops worldwide on this, mediumship development, and using the positive spiritual energy of nature to transform your life.

newsbriefs HOW TO USE VOCAL TONING TO ENHANCE INTIMACY AND HEALTH

T

oning as a modern healing technique has only come into public awareness in the past few decades although as an ancient rite it appeared in many cultures and eras. With recent interest in sound healing, vocal toning naturally emerged as a useful tool. Toning can be as simple as a sigh, a long vowel sound or humming; it might be a chakra tone or the sacred OM sound. In a nutshell, vocal toning is simply letting out a long sound as you exhale. The breath is pushing the sound out and that long exhalation is slowing down the thoughts, quieting the mind and helping the body to relax. It is an ideal sonic meditation tool.

We ‘tone up the body’ through exercise and muscle building. We can also tone up the mind and tune up the spirit using our breath and voice to release tension and help return to a state of balance and equilibrium, more in alignment with the peaceful Alpha brainwave state.

Toning isn’t for everyone though and that’s ok. Not many men will give up their sports channel to tone with their sweetie, but there are those rare, inspired ones Revision 2 Revision 3 Revision 4 who are up to the challenge (of living fully AS Proofer 1: in harmony with feisty, spiritual women ready for intimacy).

newsbriefs WHY AM I STILL TIRED AND HURT WHILE TAKING SO MANY SUPPLEMENTS? Kim, a 45-year old woman with main concerns of fatigue and joint pain, came to my office with two baskets of supplements.

Her symptoms started two years earlier and she had to quit working. She complained of fatigue all day, from the moment of waking up with headaches and joint pain. She could not digest food well, with bloating and irritable bowel symptoms.

Many foods bothered her when she ate. A complete checkup at her primary doctor revealed nothing of significance. She had two children to take care of at home and her husband did not understand her illness and blamed her for the inconvenience she created for the family. She also tried a few alternative health practitioners who gave her nutritional supplements to improve energy, immune function and digestion.

The supplements helped her for a short period of time, but stopped working after a while. Not knowing if the supplements were still helping or not, she was afraid of stopping them. She wondered, “Why am I still tired and hurt while taking so many supplements?”

There have been many people like Kim, suffering from fatigue, pain and indigestion without any significant findings from conventional physical exams. They could be diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, food sensitivity or even chronic Lyme disease. Holistic medicine approaches to complex multi-symptom illnesses differ

from conventional Western medicine. We believe that the human body is a whole system, with the ability to maintain its own balance and heal itself. When external and internal factors, such as stress and toxins, disturb the balance and confuse the immune system, disease occurs. Disease may affect multiple systems that lead to multiple symptoms. Only addressing one or two symptoms can’t possibly restore the homeostasis of the body. Thus, to understand the root issues of complex multi-symptom illnesses and know how to address them become the keys to resolve this complex problem.

Holistic medicine believes that chronic multi-symptom illnesses are the result of high inflammation caused by two main factors from modern lifestyle: stress and toxins. These two factors cause dysfunction of neuroimmune and neuroendocrine control of the immune system, which leads to dysfunction of various systems and causes high inflammation. The pathophysiology of the high inflammation may include the following:

Firstly, adrenal fatigue syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms caused by malfunction of the HypothalamusPituitary-Adrenal Axis due to prolonged internal and external stress in life. Dysfunction of the adrenal response results in various pathophysiological changes in the body and causes high inflammation and low energy production, which lead

to pain, fatigue and insomnia.

Second, dysbiosis is a condition of microbial imbalances such as yeast overgrowth (Candidiasis), pathogenic bacteria and parasite overgrowth and the decline of the beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Dysbiosis and associated toxin over-production often play the main role to increase inflammation level of the body.

In the meantime, toxin over-production in the gut overwhelms the body’s detox system through Leaky Gut, a condition of increased permeability of intestinal mucus membrane caused by damage from microbial. Compromised liver and kidney detox function leads to further accumulation of the endogenous toxins that result in high inflammation.

Third, and also the most important, immune function is compromised due to malfunction of the adrenal system and accumulation of toxins. Compromised immune system leads to two parallel consequences: chronic infections and abnormal immune response including allergy and sensitivity. Infection is common for those who suffer from chronic fatigue. Common blood tests may not show anything positive because the infections are hidden. Immune markers sometimes show positive findings on antibody against specific virus and bacteria. Allergy and sensitivity are also common among those patients, especially food sensitivities, which may be the main trigger for irritable bowel symptoms and lead to intestinal dysbiosis in the long run.

Many doctors try to address the above root issues at the same time with nutritional supplementation, herbs and enzymes. However, the patient’s body can be overwhelmed by so many supplements every day, especially those who already have digestive issues. They can’t possibly digest, absorb and process such an amount of supplements, especially those with sensitivity issues, where everyday foods can trigger immune responses, and so do the supplements. Based on my experience, sensitivity cannot be resolved by supplementation, which may cause even more problems in the future. Once patients develop sensitivity to vitamins, minerals and enzymes, many physiological processes can be blocked by abnormal immune responses. Their inflammation and adrenal stress would be much worse.

Many patients come to see me with

a similar condition that I call Chaotic Stage, an energetically chaotic condition characterized by high inflammation, high toxin, high sensitivity and autoimmune responses and low cellular energy. The energetic system is so chaotic that many pathways of the body's healing mechanism are blocked and the immune system is attacking the body’s own organs, tissues, regulatory systems and many nutrients and enzymes. Without containing and treating the initial layer of the disease, the body’s overall function cannot reach an optimal condition and any types of therapies may not have an optimal result.

I checked Kim’s energy system using Electrodermal Screening technique and found many imbalances and blockages. I gave her two homeopathic remedies tailored to her body to recharge her cellular energy and open up her detox organs and channels. The screening also revealed multiple sensitivities to many nutrients and food items. The avenue was to desensitize her with an energetic technique that I call the Immune System Reprogramming, combining acupressure and homeopathy to calm down the immune system. She went home with homework for improving diet and sleep habits. I also evaluated her supplements and found she was sensitive to many. She stopped most and followed my dietary instructions and lifestyle changes.

After three months of treatment, Kim’s condition was not chaotic anymore and her symptoms were reduced. The healing process has to follow specific steps, peeling through layers like an onion. A detoxification protocol was started, including intestinal cleansing for Candida and parasites, liver and kidney support. Later on, a regeneration protocol was used to regenerate leaky gut, support adrenal system and repair damaged organ and tissue.

About one year into the program, with monthly visits, Kim became symptom-free and did not need many supplements besides some basics. Oversupplementation, especially in the beginning of the treatment, only overwhelms the body and causes more indigestion, sensitivity and detox response that result in more inflammatory symptoms.

newsbriefs Jupiter’s Hot Yoga Community Helps Hospitalized Babies And Their Parents In Palm Beach County Rock-a-bye Baby Yoga Event raises funds to purchase pediatric room rocking chairs for area Children’s Hospital

B

ikram Yoga Teacher, Jodi Perl, lead a class of more than 30 yoga enthusiasts at Hot Yoga Jupiter on Sunday, October 12th, who gathered that morning to practice yoga for a cause.

Pediatric nurse and fellow Bikram Yoga Teacher, Jada Reed, organized the “Rock-a-bye Baby” fundraising effort, which raised over $1,100 to benefit the Alliance for Kids Foundation. 100 percent of the proceeds are being donated toward the purchase of rocking chairs for the youngest patients at St. Mary’s Pediatric Unit at Palm Beach Children’s Hospital. The Palm Beach Children’s hospital treats thousands of children each year, serving hundreds of children under the age of 3.

Jada shares, “When I become an aunt, I experienced the comfort, joy and meaningful connection that’s created in the space of rocking a baby.

Noticing the lack of seating for our patient’s families and the amazing volunteers who come in to be with the small children who are without their parents, I felt compelled to do what I could to help these families experience even a little more comfort and ease. Yoga is about healing and some of the core values in yogic philosophy emphasize service for the greater good.

With that in mind, I approached Cassie

at Hot Yoga Jupiter with the idea. Not only did she encourage me, she enthusiastically ran with it. She donated space and really quickly made quite an effort to help get the word out to the Bikram yoga community.

As someone who was hospitalized after a traumatic accident as a teen, Jodi was also enthusiastic about the chance to be able to serve a cause so close to her heart through her love of Bikram Yoga. I’m not sure if the practitioners who came out to participate in our fundraiser realize just what a tremendous impact on the community inside the Children’s Hospital something as seemingly simple as rocking chairs will have. What's created during this interaction of a stressed parent rocking a sick child is that of connection and security, and thus the circle of healing can begin.”

Cassie Aitken, a veteran international yoga teacher and the founder and director of Hot Yoga Jupiter, the newest Bikram method yoga studio in the area, shares, “When Jada approached me, I was touched by the cause and excited for the opportunity to host our first fundraiser event at the studio. We pulled it together quickly and had a great turnout.

Yoga teachers came, people came from Palm Beach Gardens and the neighboring communities, including many who had never been. I was incredibly heartened by the turnout and by both the teachers and practitioners who so generously donated their time and energy, and what a better cause? This demonstration of compassion and selfless generosity is the essence of yoga. These guys get it and I’m inspired and grateful to be a part of this growing Bikram community. I hope this is the first of many fundraising events for local causes that we’re able to host at Hot Yoga Jupiter, and not the last for the Alliance for Kids.”

he obtained her physical therapy degree in South Florida. Very early in her practice she became attracted to the field of manual therapy. Her quest to specialize in that field has led her to take courses and programs from different schools of manual therapy throughout the country. “I follow a holistic approach” “I treat the causes of the pain, not just the symptoms. My clients are given exercises and ergonomics protocols to follow to avoid relapse of their pain or dysfunction.”

The majority of Laura’s clients are afflicted by chronic pains, headaches, back, joints and muscular problems. “They have been everywhere – physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and conventional medical treatment”, note the clinician. “When they are fed up with taking pills, injections or are told that they need to have surgery, they come see me.” “There are many structures in the human body; when there is a joint stiffness, the problem is deeper than the symptoms reveal.” On their first visit with Laura, they all wish they had gone to see her sooner.

Tennis and golf players obtain result from Laura’s dynamic treatments. “When I tour a golf course and observe players who are forced to turn their whole body around, I know that these people lack flexibility to perform proper techniques; and they are bound to have problems.”

Laura insist on the fact that taking a pill or an injection will only provide temporary relief, but will not affect the deep-rooted pain.

newsbriefs SLAYING THE EMOTIONAL VAMPIRES IN YOUR LIFE

B

asic rule of life: It’s all about energy and relationships are a major source of energy exchange. Relationships can either feed our power or drain our power.

There’s no middle ground. Who would you guess can be the biggest energy drains in your life?

• Your Boss • Your spouse • Your relatives • Your co workers If you said “all of the above” you’re right. And unless you are living in the Himalayas, alone, you’re not likely to escape the relationship dance that we engage in daily.

Before I go any further let me say that I believe we attract all relationships to us. Our relationships can be fulfilling or devastating experiences and yet good or bad, they all have the potential to teach us something about ourselves.

Emotional Vampires Most of us will at one time or another encounter people who seem to suck the life force right out of us, leaving us dazed, angry, tired and exhausted. Another name for these people would be “Emotional Vampires.”

Different Shapes and Sizes The Narcissist and Controller are similar because the common theme is me, me and

more me. It’s all about their lives or how you should run yours! In “conversation” with them (and I use that term loosely) it’s really a running monologue of their wins and (very few) losses in their life or what you need to do to straighten out yours.

Victim/Martyr/Drama Queen: “Poor me” is the usual unstated but the “read between the lines” message you hear from them. Nothing EVER goes right for them and they never act on any good advice offered to them. But they keep coming back for more and more of your help, over and over again.

Let me tell you this, an Emotional Vampire goes right for your jugular by pressing your most emotional buttons which leaves you in a weakened state and renders you easier to drain.

They can do it overtly or covertly. A covert Vampire will say something like this; “my goodness dear, are you stressed… because I noticed you’ve put on a little weight.” “Bazinga” as Sheldon from Big Bang theory would say.

In any case, most of us struggle to respond because we’re trying to figure out what the hell just happened. We just know we feel crappy, a little dazed and probably weak.

Your Plan of Action 1. Recognize the signs of an Emotional

Vampire and if you feel you are in the company of one, metaphorically slap yourself awake before they get a chance to dig their fangs any farther into your neck.

Alert your personal power center to spring into action and take control.

2. Take in a deep breath and straighten your spine, pulling yourself up towards the sky.

This will allow your energy to flow through you more easily, giving you more power. Mentally imagine you have a scissor and cut the energy cords and fangs that are snaking around and into you.

3. Next, send them waves of love…yes love. An Emotional Vampire needs lots of it because they are clearly coming from a place of lack. And anyway, remember whatever you send out comes back to you ten-fold!

4. Remove yourself from the situation in whatever peaceful way you can.

5. Finally, when you have a chance to clear your personal emotional space, ask yourself if this encounter reminds you of other relationships in your life. Is there a common theme? And… have you ever behaved in this way to others?

Remember, whatever the outcome, it’s all good because it’s all a learning and growing experience. Live Miraculously!

newsbriefs YOU MATTER!

N

ovember marks the time of year when we pause and give thanks for all of the wonderful people, places and things in our lives. Why do we have all of these wonderful gifts? Where did they come from?

Andy Andrews is one of my favorite authors. He writes inspirational bestsellers, all of which speak to having a successful life, where “success” means a life having greater meaning and purpose. I have read several of his books, with the most recent one being The Lost Choice. Though published over ten years ago, its message of hope and promise is as powerful today as the day it first appeared in print.

The Lost Choice explores ‘The Butterfly Effect’, the concept that seemingly small choices or actions, like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, over time can have profound effects, such as a storm forming on the other side of the globe. Through Mae Mae, a wonderful character in the book, Andrews explains how important our choices are: “Most folks don’t see how important they are . . . how much they matter to all of us. So they never choose to do somethin’ special with their lives. And not makin’ a choice? That is a choice . . . a lost one.”

While reading The Lost Choice I began to think about the people in my life I wished to give thanks for. I started remembering choices I had made, and how I came to them. Over forty years ago a friend of mine was visiting me in college. She said she was excited to share something amazing with me a friend of hers had shared with her. That “thing” was reflexology, and after my first session, I was smitten.

I found a class at Hippocrates Health Institute, run by Ann Wigmore, who considered reflexology key to better health. I started giving reflexology to anyone who would let me, and eventually was able to start a full-time practice. So many people I “touched” wanted to learn how to perform reflexology that I later created training programs in foot, hand, face and ear reflexology. Since then I have trained thousands of reflexologists who have touched the feet of hundreds of thousands of others.

Based on the material I developed for my courses, I also created instructional DVDs and wrote a book about reflexology that has sold half a million copies in several languages around the world.

All I did was make an inspired choice to share something profound that I loved with others. My friend’s friend had shared it with her (who knows how many more people were in the chain before them).

My friend then shared it with me. I started sharing reflexology with others, many of whom started sharing reflexology with still others. It really took on a life of its own The Butterfly Effect in action!

That is what The Lost Choice is talking about. Choosing to “do somethin’ special” with our lives, and illustrating the ripple effect it will have. Reading the book raised several questions for me: What inspired choices have I made over the last few years? What choices have I not made that could be considered “lost” choices? How have these choices—both those I made and those I “lost”—affected the course of my life? How have those choices affected

the lives of others? What choices do I feel inspired to make today?

The bottom line - we all matter! The choices and resulting actions each of us makes today affect our destiny, the destiny of those we touch and, ultimately, the direction of humanity. Give thanks to all of those who made the choices that brought you all the wonderful things you have in your life today. Make your own inspired choices and then take action, and watch the ripples spread throughout your life and the lives of those you touch.

newsbriefs “What He Heard at the Open Window Changed History…Forever”

I

t was September 18, 1895 in Davenport, Iowa, a night that changed history forever. That night, a janitor named Harvey Lillard, stopped to talk with D.D. Palmer, a doctor who was working late in his building. Lillard told Palmer that 17 years ago he had bent over, heard a “pop” from his back, and went almost completely deaf.

Palmer asked Lillard for permission to test out a theory he was researching, and Lillard agreed. D.D. examined Lillard, and found a vertebra rack-ed from its normal position.

He applied a force to that vertebra, moved it back.

Lillard got up and walked over to the window looking over Ryan Street. What he heard through that open window changed history. He could now hear the clatter of horses’ hooves, something that he could not hear for 17 years. Thus, the science of chiropractic was born. Why is that night so important in the course of American history? Because now, over 100 years later, the theory Palmer worked on has been proven.

Several million Americans get their spines adjusted every single day. They do it to get healthy, and to stay healthy.

Now, you’re probably wondering about the photo in this letter. You know, when I meet people in town they usually say, “Oh, yeah, I have heard of you, you’re

Dr. Jean-Pierre. You’re that new Doctor in Boca Raton.” Well, That’s me. I’m the guy in the picture with my son.

Almost 30 years ago at the age of 5, I started having headaches. Not knowing what was wrong, my parents took me to every doctor and specialist they could find.

Unfortunately, all the examinations came out negative. They had no idea what was causing my headaches. As I got older, the headaches became more frequent and severe and were labeled as migraines. I was put on medications, which made it worst.

Although I excelled in school, there were days when I couldn’t even get out of bed, due to debilitating migraines. I had to be in a dark quiet room, hoping that the pounding would go away. I turned to alternative care, which gave some relief, but the migraines would always come back. Like so many people suffering with migraines, I figured that it was something that I was going to have to live with for the rest of my life. God had other plans… While in Chiropractic school in MO, I found an Upper Cervical (NUCCA) Chiropractor that helped people that have tried everything else like me. Dr. Matthew Flory in Clayton MO.

The Upper Cervical Chiropractor did a unique exam, took some special 3D films

and then “adjusted” me. The adjustment was so light I didn’t even feel it. I was very skeptical at first because I didn’t feel any difference for the first few weeks. In fact, my migraines increased. Dr. Flory did such an amazing job explaining the procedure that I kept going to see him. Within 3 months, my migraines started going away.

I started feeling more energy, started thinking clearer and literally got my life back.

This made such a profound difference in my life that I decided to dedicate my life to help others receive the same quality of life that I was giving through NUCCA Chiropractic.

My son, Matthieu was adjusted within minutes after birth. He didn’t have neck pain, back pain or headaches; I adjusted him to keep him healthy… as with all the children I care for in my office. You see, it’s not normal for kids to have ear infections, asthma, allergies, headaches or a number of other illnesses we see clear up in our office every day.

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their migraines. Also they come to me with their fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “My headaches, migraines and dizziness have been crippling and debilitating. I no longer enjoyed life and missed running around and playing with my wife and children…This technique is the most

I have seen my family doctor, orthopedist, neurologist, and pain management – all without success. After only three visits with Dr. Jean-Pierre my pain was reduced and I stopped taking medication.

Being a chiropractor can be tough because there’s a host of so-called experts out there. They tell people a lot of things that is just plain ridiculous about my profession… usually it’s “my neighbor’s sister’s friend said…” Let me ask you, do you make your healthcare decisions based on honest facts or biased opinions? Interesting question, isn’t it?

You Benefit from an Amazing OfferLook, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. Mention this article within two weeks; you will receive my entire new patient exam for $57.

by C. Proppé Award-winning plein air artist Colleen Proppé specializes in Marin County, California landscapes and cycling scenes. Her keen eye for composition transcends the canvas, drawing viewers into its light-filled, textural depths.

Proppé learned to paint en plein air while attending a Parsons School of Design summer program in France, rendering the landscapes of the Dordogne region and the architecture of Paris in gauche and charcoal. Today, she works in oils, a medium she has used for 24 years.

For Proppé, the act of painting is a suspended moment in time. “You surrender to the moment,” she muses, “knowing that it is a search and journey in itself. Painting is meditative and peaceful.” She continues, “When you combine the love of the land and creating something that can be sold to give back to the land, schools or family and friends, you feel good about yourself.”

newsbriefs Collective Effervescence and The Power of Community

H

ave you ever been in a large group and felt like you were a part of something special?

Maybe it was a big gathering like Burning Man, a music festival, or a small, sacred ceremony.

But you left feeling deeply connected to the people you were with- rejuvenated, happy and healthy. We used to feel this sensation in our nightclub days when everyone seemed to be in one vibe with the music, lost in the magic of the rhythm. The dance floor felt like one big ocean of movement pulsing to the beat, and you would leave with a dewy afterglow of joy and sweat on your skin.

Scientists define this group experience as “Collective Effervescence.” The group energy creates a bubbling enthusiasm that can be healing. In the National Geographic article, “Karma of a Crowd”, writer Laura Spinney, describes this phenomenon at the Kumbh Mela celebration along the edges of the Ganges River, where millions of people unite believing the water of the river to hold healing powers. Many of these visitors are elderly, live in sparse conditions while there, drink and bathe in water that is (despite their beliefs) polluted. Yet the incidence of sickness is extremely low. The power of the group defies our practical knowledge. They should feel worse when they leave, not better. Yet as Spinney summarizes, it is the positive energy of people coming together in shared beliefs where “a throng of millions can become one.”

You don’t have to dance all night or journey to India to feel connected; you just have to find the right crowd of people to connect with. Many feel it in yoga classes when the breaths unite, and the group energy feels like one synched pulse. In those moments, we lose the “I” that keeps us closed up and isolated from others, and we become a “we” that is energetically connected. Connect with positive people and feel your rigid structures melt. Here are five ways you can bring this sparkling energy into your own life more often: 1. Connect with like-minded people.

2. Talk about things that matter.

3. Listen to music and dance with others.

4. Travel and immerse yourself with others that feel the same.

napalmbeach.com

5. Follow your heart; listen to your intuition.

“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep,” William James. If nurtured with compassion and consciousness, harnessing this feeling of Collective Effervescence can be the doorway that invites new ideas to emerge, ultimately leading to deep transformation in ourselves and our world.

The Zen Cruise, sailing to Jamaica and Haiti in February 2015 for its second year, was established with these ideas in mind.

This immersive mind, body, spirit adventure is an invitation for people all over the world to come together for empowered transformation and to celebrate mindfulness through world-class yoga, healing arts, workshops, music, dance and a nourishing conscious community.

The Zen Cruise, recently voted one of the top five theme cruises of 2015 by Porthole Cruise Magazine, was created in response to the growing number of travelers seeking unique vacation experiences that combine fun and celebration with a deeper sense of being, community and selfdevelopment. Nearly two-dozen powerful presenters are onboard, including: charttopping musicians Nahko and Medicine for the People, Kirtan gypsies Mayapuris, and lyrical sensation Ash Ruiz, as well as Hay House author Jennifer Grace, yoga phenomenon and I Love Yoga founder Moses Love, Keith Fox, Kelly Brookbank and many more captivating presenters, musical performances and DJs. From Sunrise Gong Meditation, Invigorating Shakti Flow Yoga and Thai Yoga Massage to Liberation Breathing and Blindfolded Trance Dance, The Zen Cruise offers inspirational experiences and practical tools to transform our lives and our world, as well as many inspirational moments to come together with community to experience the magic of Collective Effervescence.

Looking at Beautiful Art Bumps Up Brain Activity

R

esearchers from Japan’s Oita University have found that aesthetic appreciation of paintings may be linked to altering activities in specific areas of the brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 39 people were taken as they looked at slides of still life and landscape paintings by 19th-century French painters and slides of photographs that closely replicated the paintings.

While the subjects considered both the paintings and the photographic analogs to be beautiful during the experiment— with no significant differences between them—the most beautiful paintings were rated significantly higher than their corresponding photographic analogs in the preexperimental phase. The researchers cite this as evidence of feeling greater pleasure from the paintings.

The MRIs showed that during the experiment, portions of the brain’s frontal lobe related to emotions, memory, learning and decision making were activated. However, when the researchers compared the positive effects of aesthetic appreciation of the art paintings versus the photographs, they noted significantly more activity at the back of the subjects’ brains, specifically the bilateral cuneus, a part of the occipital lobe responsible for basic visual processing; and the left lingual gyrus, or ridge, associated with vision, encoding visual memory, logical ordering and dreaming. The findings suggested that these neural structures are associated with the aesthetic appreciation for paintings.

Organics Boast More Nutrients, Fewer Toxins

C

onventionally grown foods contain pesticide residues that are three to four times higher than those found in organic foods (traces may be due to atmospheric drift from other fields or soils), according to a review of 343 research studies published last June in the British Journal of Nutrition.

The review, which included studies of food grown in different regions and seasons, also determined that organic foods contained higher levels of healthy nutrients such as minerals, vitamins and antioxidants (specifically polyphenols), compared to conventional foods, which also contained significantly higher levels of cadmium, a heavy metal toxin.

The study’s authors found evidence that the higher antioxidant and lower cadmium concentrations are linked to specific organic growing practices such as avoiding mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, respectively. They commented, “Results indicate that switching from conventional to organic crop consumption would result in a 20 to 40 percent increase in crop-based antioxidant/polyphenolic intake levels.”

Honey and Ginger Beat Antibiotics in Fighting Superbugs

R

esearchers from Ethiopia’s University of Gondar College of Medicine have recently found that the use of mixtures of honey and ginger extract can treat drugresistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. They note that further clinical evaluation and pharmacological standardization of the mixtures are needed before they can be used therapeutically.

The scientists conducted laboratory testing with clinical isolations of five separate superbugs: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus (non-MRSA), two strains of Escherichia coli plus Klebsiella pneumoniae. The inhibition of all five types of bacteria by three common antibiotics—methicillin, amoxicillin and penicillin—were compared with the antibacterial effects of ginger extract, honey and a combination of the two.

The ginger extract and honey combination was found to have the greatest inhibiting effect on the bacteria; however, even the two applied separately were more effective against the bacteria than the antibiotics.

Although in vivo studies are needed, the researchers believe that the honey and ginger extract combination is a promising source for treatment of resistant bacterial strains.

Lead Lurks in Lipsticks and Skin Whiteners

ecent research has found several heavy metals in numerous lipsticks and cosmetics. These include mercury and lead in skin-whitening creams, and chromium, cadmium and lead in lipsticks.

Scientists from the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine tested 549 cosmetic skin-lightening products manufactured in 32 different countries. The products were purchased online and from stores in the U.S., China, Taiwan, Japan and Sri Lanka. Thirty-three of the products contained more than 1,000 parts per million (ppm) of lead, and 45 percent of them contained more than 10,000 ppm of lead. Of those purchased in the U.S., 3.3 percent had mercury levels greater than 1,000 ppm.

University of California scientists tested 24 lipsticks used frequently by teenagers and purchased at local stores. They found 75 percent contained lead and nearly half exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) maximum acceptable concentration of lead for candy (0.1 ppm).

In 2010, the FDA tested 400 lipsticks and found lead in every sample tested—with concentrations ranging from 0.9 to 3.06 ppm. Other studies have confirmed similar findings.

They also found significant concentrations of chromium and cadmium among some of the samples. There are currently no concrete international or U.S. standards for safe levels of these heavy metals in cosmetics.

Algae-Based Cosmetics May Ward Off Inflammation and Cancer

A

lgae extracts added to natural cosmetics may help prevent cancer. A recent review of research from Taiwan’s Kaohsiung Medical University found marine algae extracts help protect skin cells by reducing oxidative stress, which has been linked to both inflammation and cancer.

The review covered the major algae types of red algae, brown algae (such as kelp), green algae and blue-green algae (such as spirulina). A host of compounds in these extracts were found to provide protection against free-radical damage. In one study, phloroglucinol, a phenol derivative from brown algae, inhibited inflammation among human tissue sarcoma cells.

TREADMILL DESKS BOOST JOB PERFORMANCE

I

n addition to improving fitness, University of Minnesota researchers found that treadmill walking at the desk also boosts productivity and morale. The study tested 40 adults that used treadmills for a year. Selfassessments, combined with supervisor assessments, found that treadmill walking while working increased performance levels. Work performance improved by an average of 11 percent based on supervisor assessments, and 7 percent based on the employee self-assessments.

A study from Rutgers University tested 66 adults while they walked on treadmills set for low intensity versus when they were seated at desks, with two days separating the tests. Measurements of reading comprehension, attention span and response speed skills and performance show these were unimpeded by treadmill walking when compared with sitting.

Junk Piles

UN Helps Developing Countries Handle E-Waste Although they receive far less foreign e-waste than Africa and Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean are significant and growing destinations for the industrialized world’s discarded refrigerators, small home appliances, televisions, mobile phones, computers, e-toys and other products with batteries or electrical cords.

Adding to the problem, the region’s fastgrowing middle class is emulating American consumers by buying more electronic and electrical equipment. According to the World Bank, economic “climbers” grew 50 percent in the last decade and represent 32 percent of the area’s population, surpassing the number of poor for the first time in regional history.

The United Nations’ Bonn, Germany-based Solving the E-Waste Program initiative establishes e-waste academies as valuable resources for researchers, government decision-makers and recyclers. Experts share their experiences and knowledge in developing countries.

Academy Coordinator Federico Magalini, Ph.D., notes, “What’s called a ‘best of two worlds’ approach is needed: efficient pre-processing in developing countries and maximized recovery of materials with proper treatment of residual waste in countries with the best technologies for the job, with proceeds shared fairly and equitably.”

Cash Mobs

Collective On-the-Spot Buying Revives Local Businesses In most areas of the country, small, locally owned retail businesses are the lifeblood of local economies, but the rising costs of doing business often means they cannot compete with the lower prices of big-box retail giants that negotiate in volume. For several years, the growth and frequency of cash mobs have been breathing new life into struggling mom-and-pop businesses. Like a flash mob performing a dance or social protest, a cash mob gathers people together to have a tremendously positive effect on hometown businesses that may have served them and their families for decades.

Most cash mobs agree to meet on a particular day, with each participant committing to spend a specified amount, typically $20 or more. The benefits for local businesses far exceed a one-day influx of cash—new customers are found, previous customers become active ones again and a new appreciation for businesses that fuel a local economy is realized.

Participants can also have a little fun while further benefiting their communities as many cash mobs gather with old friends and new after a shopping frenzy at a local establishment for food and drinks.

Golden Years

Senior Roommate Service Combats Loneliness AARP, Inc., estimates that about 8,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day. With longer and healthier life expectancies, many are divorced or widowed and need roommates to have company and chat with; to share living costs and chores; and for emotional support.

Women-only Roommates4Boomers.com founder Sarah Venable says, “I went online to find a service that helps women over 50 find roommates, and found to my dismay that there were plenty of sites for finding roommates in their 20s and 30s, but nothing for boomer women.”

For a $30 fee, the site uses a detailed algorithm to match women not only by location, but by interests, tastes, lifestyles, education, personal preferences and a host of other factors; much like a successful dating website.

Ka-Ching

Time Is Money, So Bank It Time banking is an updated, Web-savvy version of barter that allows users to accumulate the time they work and then “spend” it elsewhere. Unlike traditional bartering, it’s not limited to an individual transaction. The medium is so fluid that it can be exchanged many times as a form of currency.

Most people do a variety of tasks that others may not want to do or are incapable of doing themselves, such as writing, preparing taxes, babysitting, housecleaning, plumbing or even dentistry. For example, an hour of gardening equals an hour of child care, dentistry, home repair or teaching someone to play chess. The idea is that people trade for what they need and do what they’re good at. Everyone gets what they need by exchanging their expertise.

Time banking works for groups, too. Organizations, agencies, churches and businesses can all become members of TimeBanks USA, formed in 1995, and contribute time, energies, skills and resources.

Tomato Lacquer

Non-Toxic Can Lining in Development Because fresh food spoils quickly, many packaging and preservation innovations have helped to extend transportation hardiness and shelf life. Now, a new bioresin made from tomato plant byproducts could make it safer to eat ubiquitous canned goods.

Led by the Stazione Sperimentale per l’Industria delle Conserve Alimentari (Experimental Station for the Food Preserving Industry), in Parma, Italy, the BIOCOPAC (biocopac.eu/en) consortium is developing a bio-based thermosetting lacquer. Most metal food packaging has a BPA-filled liner or chemical-based lacquer to prevent corrosion. While these keep the can intact, they have been linked to deleterious effects on the food inside.

Shark Snooping

Sea-Surfing Robot Tracks Marine Life An unmanned, solar-powered Wave Glider robot has been deployed off the U.S. coast near San Francisco as part of an arsenal of ocean-observing technologies revealing in real time the mysterious journeys of great white sharks and other marine creatures. A new network that also includes data receivers on fixed buoys picks up signals from acoustic tags on animals passing within 1,000 feet and transmits information to a research team on shore, led by Stanford University Marine Sciences Professor Barbara Block.

The technology is central to Block’s Blue Serengeti Initiative, which builds on the Tagging of Pacific Predators project, part of the international Census of Marine Life (2000-2010). “The use of revolutionary technology increases our capacity to observe our oceans and census populations, improve fisheries management models and monitor animal responses to climate change,” says Block.

Shark Net is a free IOS app available at the Apple store, created by Block and her colleagues to enable a direct, personal connection between the public and wild marine animals, and to raise awareness of the teeming ocean life just off North America’s West Coast.

Two Countries Buck the Mining Industry The governments of El Salvador and Costa Rica have successfully resisted demands by the gold mining industry, putting long-term environmental protection ahead of short-term financial gain.

El Salvador stopped issuing gold mining permits several years ago, despite high gold prices and the contention by some that exporting gold was one of the country’s few chances to boost economic growth. The majority of its citizens obtain water from one large river system, the Lempa, and gold mining, which uses cyanide as a processing agent, invariably pollutes nearby rivers and watersheds.

The government of Costa Rica has said no to open-pit mining, one of the most environmentally destructive mining methods. Popular opposition surged in the wake of a major accident that led to the closure of the Canadian-owned Bellavista open-pit gold mine.

Whales’ Global Impact Underestimated Whales have long been considered too rare to be the focus of overall marine ecological research, with more attention going to much smaller essential organisms like algae and plankton. However, as whales recover from centuries of overhunting that reduced their numbers by two-thirds or more, scientists are realizing the important role they play in transferring fertilizers like iron and nitrogen from deep waters to feed plankton near the surface via plumes of fecal matter.

A study at the University of Vermont, published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, evaluates decades of research on the ecological role of great whales. Lead author Joe Roman says, “Whale recovery could lead to higher rates of productivity where whales aggregate to feed and give birth, supporting more robust fisheries.” It seems that the long-lived whales may even ease the impact of perturbations in climate and buffer marine ecosystems from destabilizing stresses.

Roman states, “This warrants a shift in view from whales being positively valued as exploitable goods or negatively valued because they compete with people for marine fish to one what recognizes that these animals play key roles in healthy marine ecosystems, providing services to human societies.”

The Sunshine State Isn’t Solar-Friendly Expansion of Solar Power is Up to Voters

by Linda Sechrist

A

review of newspaper articles and op-eds on Florida solar from this past summer reveals that the state’s utility companies are avoiding transparency on utility bills; discouraging the use of solar; and reducing both their energy conservation goals and energy efficiency programs, including rebates for the installation of solar panels and power-saving appliances. Concurrently, they are pushing for construction of costly new power plants.

Florida law hinders solar development by outlawing third-party financing of independent power projects. While some states allow solar companies to sell electricity directly to consumers, Florida prohibits it.

Florida power companies have undue influence over the relevant legislative agenda in Tallahassee, according to Power Play: Political Influence of Florida’s Top Energy Corporations, a new report by Integrity Florida. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Tallahassee research and watchdog group reports that since 2004, utility companies have spent $18 million on lobbying to sway state political campaigns and influence the Florida Public Service Commission.

Twenty-nine states have renewable portfolio standards (RPS), which require utilities to buy renewable power and allow for solar installation financing, but not Florida. It also lags far behind in commercial solar installations because it’s the only state that applies a personal property tax on

The 2014 elections will determine Florida’s energy future. Solar can be the solution, but voters must demand it. business solar systems that otherwise would be constructed by retail giants and other large-rooftopped companies.

“The state of Florida has prevented what I estimate would be 10,000 new jobs created by solar companies eager to come to the Sunshine State to get in on the solar bonanza happening almost everywhere in the U.S. except here,” says Neville Williams, author of Sun Power.

Although certain legislators say they are tired of subsidizing solar, the federal government provides $22 in subsidies for coal, oil and nuclear for every dollar invested in clean energy.

Nevertheless, installed solar capacity in Florida has shot up more than 400 percent since 2010 as the cost of raw silicon materials has dropped from $44 to $2 per pound.

Solar electric systems, formerly installed for $50,000, now cost $18,000. Numerous large solar arrays are being built in Florida territories served by electric co-ops or municipal power companies, and Florida Power & Light (FPL) has installed more solar power than any other American utility.

Since 2004, per capita electricity use in Florida has fallen nearly 12 percent. While the state’s economy and population are growing, power demand is not. Duke Energy, Tampa Electric Co. and FPL propose that the solution for projected energy needs is building more power plants, but freeing up energy markets would reduce the need for more power plants run by imported fossil fuels.

The 2014 elections will determine Florida’s energy future one way or the other, and the battle for a sustainable future crosses party lines. Nationwide, many conservative organizations are among those that have joined the Sierra Club, Greenpeace and progressive solar organizations to fight for energy independence. Sunshine could make Florida energy independent, too, according to the Florida Solar Energy Center and the Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy. But Floridians will have to demand it.

Powerful You!

Six Ways to Create the Life You Want

by Judith Fertig

to dream, how to boldly and courageously reach for our highest visions,” says Straub. “Start with what’s working already and the vision of what life can be.” She likens self-empowerment to “spiritual surfing, riding the wave where the energy, momentum and passion are.”

As workshop leaders, they encourage participants to transform limiting beliefs, determine what is meaningful for them, construct a compelling vision from that insight and then find ways to manifest that vision. They address six key areas in which to become more powerful and realize our personal best: physical health, emotional health, relationships, work, finances and spirituality.

Physical Health

P

ulitzer Prize winner Anna Quindlen had reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list more than once, yet she relates in her memoir, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake, that she also yearned to be able to do a headstand, but felt she didn’t possess the necessary sense of balance. “That’s just a little story you tell yourself,” advised her personal trainer.

Our bodies, Quindlen observes, are major appliances that deliver decades of faithful service with precious little downtime. She admits, “If the human body had a warranty, mine would have run out ages ago.” Still, she clung to a vision: “I want to be strong; strong enough to hike the mountain without getting breathless, strong enough to take a case of wine from the deliveryman and carry it to the kitchen.” Quindlen, who lives in New York City and New 36

Palm Beach Edition

England, was also maintaining an incorrect belief: It wasn’t her sense of balance that was holding her back, it was fear.

After two years of trying, she was able to do a headstand. Along with a sense of accomplishment, this quirky achievement was a revelation as she ultimately concluded, “If I can do one thing like that, perhaps there are others.”

First, recognize what we’re already doing right—eating well, perhaps, or exercising—and then add another healthy activity. Cardiologist Suzanne Steinbaum, director of New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital’s Women and Heart Disease, underscores that much of physical health is within our personal control. “Many lifestyle factors keep us from being physically healthy enough to lead a full life,” she says, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption or drug use, stress and depression.

“The good news is that lifestyle factors are within our power to change.”

Steinbaum recommends starting small by changing one bad habit and then seeing how we feel. “Quit the diet soda or the sugar-sweetened beverages. Get rid of potato chips. Go for a walk. Put down your smartphone and spend some focused time with your child, a friend or even your pet. Then breathe… and just listen to how you feel.”

Take a Stand

Emotional Health

Personal empowerment is all about taking a stand—developing the vision, countering misguided beliefs, having a plan and then moving forward to be the best version of one’s true self.

David Gershon and Gail Straub, of West Hurley, New York, authors of Empowerment: The Art of Creating Your Life As You Want It, contend that empowerment always starts with a desire for a better life. “We need to learn how

napalmbeach.com

Our emotions can be allies in achieving personal empowerment, advises Straub.

For example, fear can alert us to danger; joy can remind us to be grateful. However, when emotions cause pain and threaten derailment, it’s important to understand why, and then work through it.

“Uncomfortable emotions let us know there is a problem to attend to, a wound to work on, thus allowing us to see our own truth,” explains don Miguel

Ruiz, Jr., of San Diego, California, author of The Five Levels of Attachment. “With awareness, we can observe our uncomfortable emotions, as they may be showing a belief we are holding that is no longer true for us.”

“To work through our emotions, we have to be able to accurately sense what we are feeling and be able to express it in a healthy way,” adds Straub, like expressing anger after a tough commute by punching a designated pillow or shouting into a closet. Furthermore, “We need to change the belief we’ve identified that’s causing the painful emotional response.”

Did the guy that cut us off in traffic really do it maliciously? Third, learn to let go of a negative emotion that’s automatically triggered when someone or something presses our “hot button” by immediately considering, “He must have been in a big hurry,” or “She doesn’t realize how offensive that remark could be,” realizing it’s their problem, not ours, and declining to make it ours.

Achieving greater emotional calm is a huge step toward personal empowerment.

Relationships

Acting on heartfelt emotions can help forge stronger and healthier relationships. “Sometimes, we say yes to a false image of ourselves or hide who we are in order to be accepted,” counsels Ruiz, noting that not presenting our authentic selves in relationships will weaken or replace true intimacy with a sense of loneliness and distance. “Say, ‘I forgive, I accept and I let go.’” This paves the way to being genuine, which naturally leads to greater unconditional love and more fulfilling and honest relationships.

In romantic relationships, life coach Martha Beck, Ph.D., author of Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaiming Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want, suggests ditching the image of two people looking soulfully into each other’s eyes. “Realize that you’re both changing all the time,” she says. Instead, envision two people walking side-by-side at the same pace, and a relationship that will continue to refresh and move forward, instead of getting stuck in well-worn patterns.

lief in the possibility of having what you want,” she says. “Empty out the negative thoughts in order to gain the confidence that abundance is yours.”

Spirituality

Work

Capability is one of the new guiding principles for self-empowerment at work, says Haydn Shaughnessy, a fellow at the University of California-Irvine’s Center for Digital Transformation and co-author, with Nicholas Vitalari, of The Elastic Enterprise. “It’s more about a broad-stroke capability,” he claims, such as public speaking, writing or troubleshooting and fixing machinery. Capability means a strong skill that can be fine-tuned for a specific circumstance; a talented generalist, rather than a narrow specialist. Shaughnessy recommends that we recognize and develop our best competencies in order to equip ourselves to both withstand economic adversity and help push our careers forward.

Finances

Fiscal self-empowerment involves cultivating the confidence that we will be able to obtain more money when needed. Beck maintains that anyone can create abundance that lasts. “Where people believe they get abundance, they will,” she says, as in friendships or creative problem solving. It’s the mixed internal messages of, “I need more money,” with, “There’s not enough to go around,” that can block the flow of abundance in our lives.

Beck, who lives in San Luis Obispo, California, recommends throwing a “neurological toggle switch” to turn off the “lack-and-attack” part of our brains and turn on the “everything-is-going-to-be-allright” area. This is realized through slowing down, relaxing and meditating. “You have to relax to start dissolving the disbe-

Following all of these first five steps also helps enhance our spirituality. Dennis Merritt Jones, of Simi Valley, California, author of the new book, Your (Re)Defining Moments: Becoming Who You Were Born to Be, calls it “being pulled by vision,” rather than being pushed by pain.

The motivational speaker believes that every encounter, event or circumstance is a portal to a redefining moment—a chance to connect with our authentic self.

Jones cites seven characteristics of the authentic or timeless self: realizing our oneness in life, reverence for that life, fearlessness because we know we’re part of something bigger, integrity, humility, equanimity and unconditional love.

“When these qualities become the norm in our daily lives, we’ll know we are living from the authentic self,” he says.

Jones urges us to live “more vertically.” He explains, “We exist on what I call the surface of life, a horizontal pathway where we go about our daily routines. We often don’t hear the siren call from the depths of our being because we are so busy ‘doing’. It’s the authentic self that’s eternally calling us to be who we were born to be.”

He describes a “sacred intersection” where we can turn from the horizontal everyday and move in a vertical direction to the depths of our souls or the heights of our imaginations via mindfulness and self-enquiry. Fortunately, every moment of every day offers this opportunity to expand our being. The key question is, “Will we be consciously present enough to recognize the opening and step through the door?”

These experts concur there is no finish line for self-empowerment or attaining the perfect place to stay. It’s a “sustainable growth process,” says Gershon, an ideal project for the rest of our lives.

leep, along with nutrition and exercise, shapes the backbone of overall health, yet 40 percent of Americans get an insufficient amount, according to a recent Gallup survey, and the potential health risks are considerable. “Sleep deprivation affects every organ system and disease state,” and is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and mortality, says Michael Breus, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Scottsdale, Arizona, and founder of TheSleepDoctor.com.

“It’s best to get seven to eight hours of sleep in one big block at nighttime,” counsels Breus. Yet the circadian rhythm dictates two peaks of sleepiness every 24 hours—one in the middle of the night and another 12 hours later, says Dr. Lawrence Epstein, director of the sleep medicine program at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Interacting with the circadian rhythm is the homeostatic rhythm, which causes greater sleepiness the longer we’re awake. Both circadian and homeostatic sleepiness elevate by mid-afternoon, resulting in the familiar 4 p.m. slump.

Siesta cultures split sleep, notes Epstein, slightly reducing nighttime sleep, but devoting time midday to nap.

“Naps are a double-edged sword,” observes Epstein. While they help relieve short-term sleepiness, poorly planned naps can perpetuate an unhealthy cycle of

napalmbeach.com 5/29/13 5:23 PM

daytime sleepiness and nighttime wakefulness. Stepping outside for 10 minutes of sunlight and fresh air can stamp out sleepiness, says Breus, which is much healthier than reaching for a caffeine jolt or sugary snack.

Be a Better Napper

A study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that merely falling asleep may initiate memory processing and cognitive consolidation, helping explain why German scientists found even six-minute naps to be rejuvenating.

If substantial daytime sleep is needed to overcome a deficit, strive for 90 to 110 minutes, the length of time needed to complete a full sleep cycle. Here are other practical tips.

Reflect on the rationale. “Boredom, laziness or avoiding work are the wrong reasons to nap,” says Amanda Chan, managing editor for healthy living at The Huffington Post, which instituted two cozy nap rooms in its New York headquarters after founder Arianna Huffington collapsed from exhaustion several years ago. A quick pick-me-up to boost mental agility and mood is a reasonable excuse to snooze.

Plan a prophylactic nap. Forestall late afternoon fatigue by napping between 1 and 3 p.m. Waiting until early evening to nap can interfere with nighttime sleep, advises Epstein.

Embrace darkness, coolness and quietude.

Melatonin, “the key that starts the engine of sleep,” is suppressed by even the slightest amount of light, so wear eyeshades, suggests Breus. Keep a blanket and earplugs handy.

Lie down. If a bed or couch is unavailable, try napping on a yoga mat on the floor. A chair should be reclined to support the lower back and avoid straining the neck from “bobblehead” syndrome, says Breus.

Power down. Setting an alarm for 10 to 25 minutes allows time for only the first two sleep stages: falling asleep and light sleep. Breus explains that sleeping longer than 25 minutes triggers deep sleep, from which waking results in sleep inertia, or grogginess, that impairs mood, decision-making and motor skills.

Napping at Work

While many progressive businesses such as Google, Apple and Zappos permit or even promote workplace napping, most companies are still skeptical. “We live in a culture that minimizes the importance of sleep,” comments Epstein. “We prize productivity and think it shows worker loyalty to put in excessive amounts of time.”

Ironically, mounting research suggests that napping may boost the brainpower needed to function at peak performance. A recent study found that nightshift air-traffic controllers that napped for 19 minutes showed better vigilance and reaction times than non-nappers. Other documented benefits include better concentration, memory and creativity.

Seek out a sleep sanctuary at work, such as an office with the door closed and blinds drawn, an unused conference room with a couch, or a first-aid office cot, suggests Chan.

Another option is to nap in the car, but Breus insists that nappers tell colleagues where they’re going as a precaution. Better yet, bond with a “nap buddy” willing to read nearby during snooze time. “You’re very vulnerable when you’re asleep,” he says. “Be safe.”

If sleeping is not currently condoned in the workplace, consider approaching the human resources department with information on the positive effects of appropriate napping on work performance, says Epstein. Suggest implementing a sleep wellness program, which can offer education on sleep deprivation, techniques to improve sleep and individual screening for sleep disorders.

Eco-Beauty Homemade Shampoos, Lotions and Perfumes Make Great Gifts

by Kathleen Barnes

and a little vegetable oil for dry hair. “It doesn’t foam up like commercial shampoos, but it gets hair much cleaner,” she advises.

Homemade beauty products are a natural outlet for anyone that loves to cook or craft. Make a small batch—experiment with an array of essential oils to create a preferred scent to suit individual tastes, and add or subtract the amounts according to skin and hair types.

“Take it a step further and make pretty gift packages with glass bottles, jars or tins embellished with ribbons, personal artwork or anything else that taps into your creative juices,” says Cox. “Your friends and family will be especially happy to receive and use them.”

any of us have grown disenchanted with expensive, commercial beauty products that include toxic and even cancer-causing ingredients. Fortunately, safe, natural and affordable alternatives—including homemade shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, bath salts, body scrubs and butters— are stocked at many natural grocers and health food stores.

We all want to avoid phthalates, cetyl alcohol, triclosan, sodium laureth sulfate, parabens and many other poisonous chemicals commonly found in lotions, creams, scrubs, oils, perfumes and makeup products that may not be listed on labels. “You want to know what’s in your product,” says Janice Cox, of Medford, Oregon, the bestselling author of Natural Beauty at Home and Eco-Beauty.

“If you’re making your own, you’re in control.”

Cox remarks, “Ingredients are absorbed through the skin, our largest organ. It’s why some medicines like birth control, pain relief and nicotine patches are effectively applied externally; it’s also why toxic ingredients placed on our skin can be so harmful.”

Her recommended solution is simple: The kitchen cabinet harbors solutions to the dry and dull skin that plagues many this time of year, shampoo residues 40

that result in drab hair, and less-thanglowing skin due to a suboptimal holiday diet.

“Many products require only one or two ingredients and take minimal time to make,” says Cox. “Plus, they cost only pennies. Who wouldn’t choose that over a $30-an-ounce mysterious chemical soup?”

Honey is a Cox favorite for several reasons, including its antimicrobial effects: a dab on a blemish or insect bite can zap it overnight. “Honey has high potassium content, making it almost impossible for bacteria to survive in,” she explains. It’s also a good source of B vitamins thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid, plus minerals like iron, zinc and manganese. In this case, what’s absorbed through skin is literally nourishing our body’s entire system.

Honey is also a powerful humectant, helping to prevent loss of moisture from skin and hair. Cox recommends dropping a tablespoon or two in a warm bath to soothe rough skin without stickiness, a conditioning mixture of honey and olive oil to produce silky hair and an apple-honey toner to facilitate glowing skin.

She also recommends an easy shampoo that contains nothing more than natural soap (like Dr. Bronner’s), water

napalmbeach.com

Simple Natural Beauty Ingredients Here are a few favorite ingredients for home treatments: n Honey is perfect for conditioning dry, damaged hair and rinses out easily. n Sour cream makes a great facial mask for softening and cleansing a dull complexion. n Green tea is packed with antioxidants and tones skin with no need to rinse off. n Oatmeal can be used instead of soap to cleanse all skin types. n Pineapple juice soothes tired feet and softens rough patches. n Baking soda works head to toe as a hair rinse, facial scrub and bath soak. n Olive oil in a nail soak keeps nails clean, flexible and strong.

Muscle-Soothing Bath Salts Yields 24 ounces This is the perfect bath to relax and refresh the whole body. Add a few drops of essential oils to the mixture for scent.

1 cup kosher or sea salt 1 cup baking soda 1 cup Epsom salt Mix together all ingredients and pour into a clean, dry container. Pour one cup of the mixture into a warm tub slowly, allowing the salts to dissolve completely.

Soak for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 40 minutes.

Raw Sugar Body Scrub Yields 10 ounces Raw sugar is well-suited for freshening skin. Using a body scrub helps rid skin of surface impurities, enabling it to retain more moisture and look healthier. It also boosts circulation, which energizes the whole body.

1 cup raw sugar ½ cup light oil, such as almond or sunflower ½ tsp vitamin E oil Mix together all ingredients and pour into a clean container. Massage a tablespoon or two at a time all over the body to gently exfoliate and moisturize skin.

Body Butter Yields 4 ounces This is a rich, buttery cream that makes a wonderful all-over body cream. It contains four well-known skin conditioning oils. ¼ cup grated cocoa butter 1 Tbsp coconut oil 2 Tbsp light sesame oil 1 Tbsp almond oil 1 Tbsp grated beeswax

Combine all the ingredients in a heat-resistant container. In the microwave or on the stovetop using a double boiler, gently heat until the mixture just begins to melt.

Remove from heat and stir well until the wax and cocoa butter are melted and all ingredients are mixed together. Pour into a clean container and allow it to cool completely. Spread a small amount of the body butter on the skin.

Basic Shampoo Yields 8 ounces If hair is oily, the optional vegetable oil may be omitted, but if hair is dry or damaged, include it. This is a great shampoo for all hair types because it’s gentle on hair and won’t strip away the natural oils. ½ cup water ½ cup mild natural liquid soap (like Dr. Bronner’s or any Castile soap) ½ tsp light vegetable oil (optional) Gently stir all the ingredients together, being careful not to beat the mixture or it will create foam. Pour the shampoo into a clean plastic container. Shampoo as normal, and then rinse well with cool water.

Solid Perfume Yields 1 ounce Solid perfume and scents have always been popular because they are longlasting, easy to carry and discreet—just rub them on—no need to waste them by spraying the air.

1 Tbsp grated beeswax 1 Tbsp almond oil 8 drops essential oil or mixture of oils (peach, orange, sandalwood, vanilla or lavender) In a heat-resistant container or small saucepan, gently heat the beeswax and oil until it melts. Stir in the scented oil, pour into a clean, small container and allow the mixture to cool completely.

Rub a finger across the solid perfume and apply the scent to pulse points or anywhere else.

Recipes courtesy of Janice Cox, author of Natural Beauty at Home, Natural Beauty for All Seasons, Natural Beauty from the Garden and Eco Beauty.

Eau de Cologne Yields 4 ounces Eau de Cologne was originally made by steeping flowers in a jar with alcohol and a small amount of oil. The scented oil was poured off and the alcohol was mixed with water. ¼ cup vodka or witch hazel ¼ cup water 2-3 drops of a favorite essential oil or a mixture of oils (lavender, sandalwood, bergamot, rose, frangipani, ylang-ylang or jasmine) Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a clean spray bottle or splash bottle. Spray or splash the scented cologne onto skin or hair.

BRING BACK THE MAGIC

Give Kids the True Gifts of the Season

by Meredith Montgomery

A

ccording to a poll by the Center for a New American Dream in 2005, three out of four Americans wish the holidays were less materialistic. Traditionally rooted in family, faith and joy, the season can be marred by commercialization. Instead, inspire the whole family to take a “buy less, get more” approach so that everyone can experience the essence of what many consider the most wonderful time of the year.

Raise Awareness

The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) reports that U.S. companies now spend about $17 billion annually marketing to children, up from $100 million in 1983. Many kids are formulating wish lists year-round, due to the continual bombardment of alluring commercials. CCFC Associate Director Josh Golin attests that the holiday season is a perfect time to start discussing the power of advertising and the techniques used. Teens are especially sensitive to the notion of being manipulated by adults.

For children under 8 that can’t yet comprehend the persuasive intent of commercials, limit screen time with all devices.

Golin advises that the scope of commercialism has changed radically. “It’s no longer just television commercials, but also Internet, cell phones and video games. Plus, children’s media characters are placed on every type of product imaginable. Think about limiting commercialism in all forms; you can’t just turn off the TV.”

Manage Expectations

Start before the holidays. “Talk to kids about how you’ll celebrate the holidays in your own home, noting that it might be unique.

Focus on aspects that aren’t gift-related,” suggests Golin. Plan food-focused traditions such as baking together and special group meals. Generate excitement around spiritual aspects of the season or visits from out-of-town family 42

members.

When shopping together for gifts, make a plan and stick with it, letting everyone know its purpose beforehand.

Resist impulsive purchases trumpeted by store promotions.

Connect with Kids

New American Dream’s Simplify the Holidays guide at Tinyurl.com/SimplifyTheHolidays encourages families to reconnect by participating in meaningful activities such as neighborhood caroling, building a gingerbread house, preparing gift boxes for the homeless, taking a nature hike or making a feeder for backyard birds.

Explore volunteer projects as a family, letting the children’s interests lead. If kids are attracted to water, pick up litter along a shoreline. In the spirit of the season, donate gently used clothing, books and toys to a shelter. For animal lovers, contribute time or materials to a local animal rescue or rehabilitation center.

Attend community events such as musical performances, plays and art exhibits. Seek out inexpensive or free local

activities. Kids are often enthralled by a simple tour of neighborhood Christmas lights.

Gift Buying

Make gift purchases consistent with the family’s values. Golin suggests resisting the temptation to buy the season’s “hot” products. “Resist buying what’s advertised the most. We have power as parents and as part of a larger culture to believe there’s no such thing as a musthave toy or holiday gift.” Instead, search for timeless, high-quality items that are eco-friendly and fair trade. Try wooden toys for babies and toddlers or a bamboo skateboard for teens.

Ads can make a toy look appealing because it’s brand-new and ready-touse, but homemade gifts can be a more meaningful alternative. New American Dream suggests constructing a rope swing or wooden sandbox for little ones.

Given a comfortable timeframe, children can gift grownups homemade green cleaning products or re-potted herb and houseplant clippings. All ages can give away the last book they read and kick

off a year-round book exchange. Forego more tangible items by gifting experiences like a zoo membership, bowling gift cards or movie tickets, or make a charitable donation to a cause that the recipient supports.

Let friends and family make shopping easier by inviting them to create such a gift registry at SoKindRegistry. com.

Unplug

Always plan for quiet time. It reduces exposure to holiday marketing, creates opportunities for family bonding and fosters independent children. Golin observes, “We can all be better about trusting our kids to entertain themselves.

When reducing screen time, we don’t necessarily need to suggest activities to kids. Give them the space to be bored for a minute and be amazed at what they come up with on their own.”

with my acne,” she says. “It’s a tremendous amount of work to digest food. It’s no wonder that eating a fast-food sandwich with gluten bread, animal protein and cheese with casein produces a mid-afternoon slump. They are hard to digest together and all at once, taxing body energy,” she explains. “Then, when you feel the inevitable drop in energy, you might turn to caffeine or sugary soda, but that only brings on another slump.”

Beauty Foods Kimberly Snyder Shows How to Eat for Radiant Skin, Eyes and Hair

by Judith Fertig

W

ise food choices that optimize digestion and promote natural, ongoing detoxification can help us attain red-carpet shape, professes nutritionist and beauty expert Kimberly Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of The Beauty Detox Foods. She aims for optimum health as the basis for achieving a desirable outward glow.

Snyder says she once struggled with several beauty issues.

In seeking wellness on the way to becoming a nutritionist, she found that her daily energy level improved after she started making shifts in her diet. She then lost weight, her hair got healthier and her formerly troubled facial skin became clear and smooth.

Blogging about her gradual transformation and lifestyle philosophies attracted media attention and a celebrity clientele by word of mouth. “I never looked for clients; they found me,” she says. Today, Snyder counts entertainers Fergie and her actor-husband Josh Duhamel, Kerry Washington, Channing Tatum and Drew Barrymore among the many celebrities she has helped get into better camera-ready shape.

Early into her personal transformation, Snyder realized that digestion holds the key. “I never linked my constipation issues 44

Good Advice

Snyder, who is now a vegan, suggests simplifying meals and starting them with whole, raw, plant-based foods like salads. She advises her clients to start the day with lemon juice in warm water. If they don’t feel like breakfast, she advises, “Don’t force yourself. Listen to your body, it knows best.”

When hunger hits, Snyder blends a Glowing Green Smoothie—what she calls, “the star of the whole Beauty Detox program,” in her book. A batch of three to four servings requires seven cups of chopped spinach; six cups of chopped romaine lettuce; one-and-a-half cups of chopped celery; one banana; an apple and a pear, both peeled, cored and chopped; two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and two cups of filtered water. She claims that drinking this smoothie can make a difference in just three days.

She also lists 50 plant-based foods for specific body benefits because they are naturally alkaline-forming during digestion and assimilate more effectively than acid-forming animal protein, dairy, caffeine, alcohol and sugar. By improving digestion, we end up feeling more energetic.

Timely Eating

Carefully timed consumption is another key in Snyder’s beauty regimen. She recommends starting the day with a light smoothie, eating foods based on whole plants throughout the day, and then eating a raw salad and a vegetarian meal or some animal protein as an earlier dinner. Eating fruit by itself on an empty stomach helps it digest better than when combined with other foods that take longer to process. On hungrier days, Snyder suggests turning to whole grains such as oats or quinoa, which are high in fiber and lower in fat, or fibrous chia seeds.

When energy is low, she advocates supplementing with bee pollen or a protein smoothie. She stresses, “Progress, not perfection,” as her mantra, advising that it’s better to take small steps and keep moving forward rather than try to change everything all at once. She believes that experiencing higher energy and beauty benefits provides effective incentives to continue instead of trying to stick to a strict, numbers-based plan that doesn’t take into account energy or digestion.

Ongoing Cleansing

“The metaphor I use for healthy digestion is a waterfall versus a stagnant pond,” says Snyder. “You want your system to be moving, dynamic.” To keep digestive “sludge” out of our body’s systems, Snyder recommends a proven detox approach of drinking liquid only between meals to help foods digest easier. She particularly recommends her own Probiotic & Enzyme Salad, made with four cups of shredded cabbage; one inch of fresh

ginger, cut into strips; one teaspoon of caraway seeds; and cold, filtered water, all left to naturally ferment in a jar at room temperature for about five days—or refrigerated raw sauerkraut from a health food store—to help flush out toxins. She also emphasizes supplementing with probiotics, such as her unique formula made from soil-based organisms. Infrared sauna treatments can also help leach heavy metals out of body fat and decrease cellulite.

“These techniques have been around for a long time because they work,” says Snyder. “As I always say, outer beauty is a reflection of inner health.”

Growing Up with Wayne Dyer Serena Dyer Reflects on Her Spiritual Upbringing

by Lindsay McGinty

S

What was it like to grow up with Wayne Dyer as your father?

Growing up, my seven siblings and I were exposed to a lot of ideas that were different than what my friends heard. We were taught that within each of us is a purpose, a passion that we call dharma, and that dharma is what we are incarnated here to do. We were taught that the most important thing you could do in your life was to follow that dharma, and in doing so, you would be serving God. I often joke that my childhood was filled with unconditional love and security, but also a lot of weirdness! Not many kids learn transcendental meditation at the age of 5 and count monks as friends.

we become more consciously aware of how much our thoughts affect our daily experience. I am so grateful my parents taught me this at a young age because I have learned to choose my thoughts carefully. photo: Pacific-Plus.com

erena Dyer had a unique childhood being raised by spiritually progressive parents, including her bestselling celebrity dad, Wayne Dyer, Ph.D., who would write her notes on personal stationery printed with the motto, “Be realistic. Expect miracles!” It’s not a message her peers likely heard at home.

Now 29, Serena shares her point of view in Don’t Die with Your Music Still in You: My Experience Growing Up with Spiritual Parents, co-authored with her father. The title reflects her parents’ key lesson for their children: Pursue the life you are born to live.

Some missteps along the journey to her true calling included enrolling in law school to maintain her student identity, but her upbringing served as a light guiding her home to herself. She wrote the book after dropping out of law school, a big step toward her dream of inspiring others to live authentically.

Were there any downsides to being raised by spiritual parents?

I like to think that while there weren’t any real downsides, there were certainly challenges. For example, in a more traditional household, when someone gets the flu, their parents probably tell them that it’s flu season and it’s just going around. In my household, when one of us would get the flu, we were told that we aligned with it and allowed it in. In other words, part of the challenge of having spiritually progressive parents is that they make sure you are aware that you are responsible for everything happening in your life.

What is the greatest lesson you learned?

Thus far, it is knowing that we are the creators of our destiny—the masters of our fate. I wholeheartedly believe that we sign up for the experiences we have in this lifetime, as they are part of our soul’s desire to grow and expand. When we make the choice to view life as not happening to us, but responding to us,

napalmbeach.com

What is the greatest gift your parents have given you?

It’s not something they did for me; it was how they lived their lives in front of me.

My parents did not encourage me to follow my dreams and then sacrifice theirs in order to raise me. My parents followed their dreams and in watching them do so, I felt safe to go after mine, as well.

They taught me that there is no honor in sacrificing yourself or your dreams for anyone else, and demonstrated that the only time you have to make your life the way you want it is now. I am grateful to them for living their lives this way, which has allowed me to feel safe living my life this way, as well.

What advice would you give to people that wish they were raised in a more spiritual manner?

I tell people that it doesn’t really matter what kind of parents you had, it matters how you feel about yourself. Everything in life starts with the self. If you don’t have love and acceptance and forgiveness for yourself, you won’t have these things to give to other people either. I was taught that we can’t give what we don’t have. When we learn to love and treasure every part of ourselves, we also have love to give to others.

Five Simple Exercises to Smooth Thighs

nsightly cellulite, which is comprised of fat deposits just beneath the skin, appears as lumps or dimples, usually near the buttocks and upper thighs, and is most common in women. Building muscle can make cellulite harder to notice and help burn more calories. While cellulite deposits might not be eliminated, burning body fat will make them shrink and be less visible. Here are five top exercises to blast stubborn cellulite.

Cardiovascular Exercise

As long as we’re expending more calories than we’re taking in, we will begin burning the body’s fat deposits. As cardio workouts burn calories, they can reduce overall body fat, which also makes cellulite harder to see. Any exercise such as walking, running, hiking or cycling can help in the overall battle to burn calories and blast cellulite.

Stair Climbing

Stair climbing burns at least 10 calories a minute, according to the nonprofit National Wellness Institute, that promotes healthy lifestyles worldwide. Plus, stair climbing has the added benefit of working all the muscle areas that tend to get hit with the greatest amounts of cellulite.

Leg Lifts

Janet Wallace, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology at Indiana University-Bloomington, advises that leg lifts are the best exercise for toning the outer thighs.

Lie on the floor on your side, plac-

ing one elbow on the ground and prop your head up with that same hand. Place the other hand on the floor beside your waist. With legs straight and toes pointed, lift the top leg up as far as it will go, then slowly lower it back down. Do 10 to 15 reps, and then turn over and work the other leg.

Back Kicks

An MSNBC health segment recommended this fat-busting move to target all the areas that are most susceptible to cellulite.

While kneeling on hands and knees, lift a leg up behind you until it’s pointed upward at a 45-degree angle. Slowly bring the leg back down and repeat the movement with the other leg. Start with 15 reps and work up from there.

Squats

Stand comfortably with feet about a foot apart. Slowly bend the knees to lower your body until both thighs are parallel to the floor. Then gradually stand back up, squeezing gluteal and back-of-thethigh muscles as you rise.

If performed consistently, this exercise will increase muscle strength in the thighs and buttocks, which also helps burn fat, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Less fat equals less noticeable cellulite.

As with the other exercises, start with 15 repetitions per session and work up to more.

and Change Your Life

by April Thompson

“I have started a gratitude journal that I write in every day. When you run out of the ‘obvious’ blessings, it makes you dig deep and see all the small things. I commit to do my very best to never take anything or anybody, good or bad, for granted.” ~ Lisa Henderson Middlesworth

“A town can be such a blessing. Neighbors always pull together when there’s a tragedy or natural disaster. The boundaries diminish and yards become one... we eat in each other’s kitchens, supervise each other’s children, share vehicles and generally watch out for each other. I believe it is God’s way of reminding us that we’re one family and each of us provides the strength and foundation for the other.” ~ Colleen Epple Pine

“My losses have given me an inner compass by which I live my life. While I would not wish the tragedies I have experienced on anyone, I am eternally grateful for the blessings. I do not waste time, and I know how to love without fear.” ~ Joanie Weber Badyna

iddlesworth, Pine and Badyna are among thousands adopting a Gratitude Challenge to help develop their gratitude reflex and cultivate a more positive outlook on life. Gratitude can take many forms, but typically participants pledge to reflect upon and express it daily with the help of email prompts from a sponsoring organization. A gratitude practice can help grow appreciation for the strangers that better our lives. It can also deepen our

gratefulness for the significant others we sometimes take for granted.

Approaching a milestone birthday, retired businessman Walter Green set out on a year-long journey to visit 44 people that he credited with changing his life to initiate conversations about their influence, which he recounts in the book This is the Moment! While the relationships were already solid, according to Green, “In many cases, it was the most significant conversation we ever had.”

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” ~ William Arthur Ward

Gratitude is a small act with a big payoff, Green observes. “The person receiving gratitude appreciates knowing they made a difference, but the giver is the greatest recipient. It feels good to express gratitude, plus you are freed from future regrets that you didn’t express it when you had the chance.”

Patricia Brugioni, a Christian Science nurse from Chicago, has been sharing three things she’s grateful for on social media on a daily basis since taking a five-day online challenge earlier this year. “I am a grateful person by nature, but now I am claiming the good that is coming to me and learning to cherish things without feeling like I have to earn them,” she says.

Grateful Kickstarts Kindspring.org’s first online Gratitude Challenge brought together 11,000 people from 118 countries. The site now has an online portal, including a startup kit designed to help community organizations sponsor their own challenges.

Gratitude can be good for business, too. Four Canadian branches of the bank TD turned its ATMs into “automatic thank-you” machines that provided highvalue personalized gifts to its longeststanding customers to thank them for their loyalty. Any business can be creative in showing appreciation in meaningful ways to its customers.

As with any new skill or habit, gratitude needs to be exercised until it becomes second nature. Simply writing a page a day in a gratitude journal or saying a morning thank-you prayer can help maintain the momentum.

Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment. ~Paramahansa Yogananda

PLAYFUL PET GIFTS

Animals Love Interactive Toys and Games

hat’s on the family pet’s wish list this year? Family members can have fun creating interactive toys and games that are easy on the holiday budget.

According to a recent American Pet Association survey, three out of four owners buy gifts for their pets during the holiday season to the collective tune of $5 billion. Dogs and cats receive new sweaters and boots, collars and leashes, toys and treats. Yet, what they really crave is attention.

“Too often, pets are left alone for eight hours a day, leading to anxiety, frustration and unwanted behaviors. It’s important that they’re mentally challenged, learn new commands and have fun,” says Dr. Mary Gardner, co-founder of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, in Los Angeles. “Cognitive decline and muscle wasting, common in older pets, can both be thwarted with games personalized for age and ability.”

Special Dog Treats

dedicated bakers in a canine’s good graces throughout the year.

Write an activity—a walk, trip to the dog park, game of fetch or a doggie/ human dance party—on a few index cards. “Teach the dog to choose by rubbing one card with a sodium-free bouillon cube,” suggests Eileen Proctor, a pet lifestyle expert in Denver. “As soon as the dog sniffs the card, reward with praise and the designated gift. Once the game is learned, there is no need to keep scenting the cards.” Turn up a corner of all the cards for easy pickup.

Purrfect for Cats

Cats may like to play it cool, but bring out a laser pointer and they act like kittens again. To mimic hunting instincts, play hide-and-seek with kitty’s food; put holes in a closed box with special bits of dry food inside, then let her paw it out or roll the box.

Place a too-large-toswallow jingle bell inside an empty toilet paper roll and tape the ends shut for a charming-sounding toy. An orphaned sock filled with crinkly cellophane

In the wild, birds spend most of their time foraging for food. Mimic a wilderness search by hiding food beneath an unused, unbleached coffee filter or a large lettuce leaf. Cut food in pieces big enough to hold in a claw to help hone balance. Hide seeds in a made-for-birds piñata, available at pet supply stores.

Puzzle boxes range from reach-in-forfood versions to slide-a-door or pull-aknob difficulty levels.

Fun for Fish

Betta (Siamese fighting) fish love to rest near the surface, so provide a leafy hammock, available where supplies are sold. Finned friends get exercise as they chase a laser pointer’s red dot through the water. A new plant or ping-pong ball floating on the surface provides added entertainment.

Moss balls are a good place to hide food and also help keep the water clean.

A ceramic log lets fish hide inside.

Climbing Crabs

Hermit crabs are social animals, both curious and amusing. The gift of a new shell or two during molting season is appreciated. Flat-topped rocks with textured sides, large enough to not tip over, provide a different view. Fibers like those used for macramé, hung from the lid of the tank almost to the floor mimic rope climbing. Upside-down terra cotta flower pots, in different sizes and covered with netting, provide more surfaces and heights to explore.

“Time spent together is a gift for both the giver and the recipient,” says Proctor. “It’s more thoughtful than anything you can find in a store. You always get back more than you give.”

“Dogs are social, emotional beings. Companionship is far more important than any material object. Interact with your dog, play with him or take him for a walk.” ~ Dr. Clare Wilson, pet behavior counselor, St. Petersburg, Florida

Pet Precautions As with kids, don’t shower all the surprises on a pet at once. The choices will be overwhelming. Instead, rotate them while keeping one favorite on hand.

4 Check for loose knobs or small parts on toys and around the house; anything that can break off from a strong bite. Favor smooth, rounded edges.

4 Puzzles and other toys are for supervised play only.

4 Never point a laser light at a pet’s eyes— it can severely damage their vision.

4 Poinsettias can be poisonous to pets—keep them out of reach or out of the house.

4 Because a dog or cat’s tongue is rough, if they chew on tinsel, ribbon, yarn or other textured wrappings or decorations, it’s likely to get swallowed, which can lead to a medical emergency.

Develop an attitude

of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation. ~Brian Tracy

Healthy Holiday at Sea Set Sail on the Caribbean’s Only Holistic Love Boat

by Judith Fein

I

t’s a plant-based gourmet restaurant, stateof-the-art alternative health conference, healing retreat, Caribbean vacation and love boat. This combination was impossible to find until visionary health food guru Sandy Pukel originated the Holistic Holiday at Sea concept 12 years ago. He began by operating health food stores, undertook the production of miso and seitan and organized seminars and festivals, working with many health and nutrition leaders. “So my partner John Belleme and I figured, why not put it all together and create a floating vacation for mind, body and spirit?” says Pukel.

He explains, “There are parties every night, singles events and open seating in the dining room, so you get to meet new people at almost every meal.”

It’s easy to connect with like-minded folks on custom shore excursions, at yoga and fitness classes and attending exciting, informative and inspirational talks by a dream team of vegan and alternative health experts. “Romances that lead to weddings are a common occurrence,” Pukel says, grinning. “Honeymoons are planned during our voyages.”

One of the most moving events is

the recovery panel, where passengers share dramatic stories about how switching to a plant-based or macrobiotic diet literally saved their lives. Janet Vitt, a nurse and mother afflicted with metastatic cancer, weighed 72 pounds and was told that she had six weeks to live. She had run out of conventional options when she began a plant-based diet.

Twelve years later, she married at sea on one of the first vegan cruises.

Another memorable panelist, Betty Hoehn, was diagnosed with lymphatic leukemia and then lymphoma. She was so disabled that she considered canceling the cruise, but changed her mind, and completely changed her lifestyle buoyed by what she learned.

Her stunned oncologist reported a few months later that she was cancer-free.

Many such testimonials can be heard onboard about what happens when people take responsibility for their health and commit to a cleansing, balancing, healing, plant-based diet.

“People love the healthy food from the cruise kitchen run by internationally renowned vegan Chef Mark Hanna,” observes Pukel. He and Hanna coauthored Green and Grains on the Deep

Blue Sea Cookbook.

Cruises also include plant-based cooking classes by prominent teachers, including Chef AJ (Abbie Jaye), who signs her emails “love and kale,” and has been vegan since 1977. “I was pre-vet when I was asked to cut the heads off of salamanders,” she says. “I always say I became vegetarian rather than veterinarian.”

The down-to-earth chef remarks, “You can make simple, uncomplicated plantbased cuisine or stretch and make it as gourmet or fancy as you like.” She considers cooking fun and wants passengers to feel the same way. Many of them return home with recipes, inspired and eager to experiment in their own kitchens.

Passengers also receive helpful, informative materials and take copious notes from talks given by medical and nutritional luminaries like Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Michael Greger and Colleen PatrickGoudreau. Classes cover preventive care, holistic approaches to life and health, meditation, integrative relaxation, plantbased and whole food diets, alternative treatments and other solutions to problems that plague many people and erode their quality of life.

Campbell, who will be featured in the 2015 lineup, is the author of 300plus research articles and the bestselling book, The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-Term Health. He counsels everyone, “Eat vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and tubers, with little or no added fat, refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour) or salt.

The closer one gets to that kind of dietary lifestyle, the better.”

National Geographic Traveler has chosen Holistic Holiday at Sea as “one of the l00 best worldwide vacations to enrich your life.” It’s hard to find a reason not to sail on a voyage to well-being.

e have lost the tradition of eating with the seasons. Regaining balance can lead to better health. Our bodies follow the seasons. We expand and cleanse in the spring and grow in the summer. Fall is the time to start to conserve and prepare. Winter is the time to gather and reflect, or be still and meditate.

With the holidays on the way we are at the time to begin to conserve and store energy. It is not natural for the body to lose weight at this time. The worse time to start a weight loss program is in the fall and winter months. It is one of the reasons so many New Years weight loss resolutions fail. The natural time to begin is spring easing into the full expansion and movement in summer. Autumn is the time the body starts to switch to conserve. Your body wants to drift to the hibernation of winter. It is also the time we are most susceptible to colds, and the worse time to push the body’s endurances. It is the hardest time to have a death in the family. Special care should be taken.

Winter is the time to use everything we cleaned out in spring, grew in summer and stored in the fall. It is time to enjoy ourselves with that stored energy whether it is socializing or sitting. It is more natural to crave heavier foods. If you tend to chill easily, more warming foods are appropriate, and seasonable vegetables. It is not the time for lots of fruits, salads and other cooling foods unless you run hot naturally. If you are experiencing hot flashes then appropriate herbs to cool the false heat without depleting the energy are needed.

With a little reflection on our culture we realize we have seasonal food traditions.

Thanksgiving is a time for a heavy meal to store for the winter months often followed up by Christmas, or some other mid winter celebration.

Spring comes around and it is time to move and clean. There is no chapter in Asian Medical textbooks on “Detoxification”. The body naturally detoxifies if you are drinking plenty of water, and having daily healthy bowel movements. Most detoxification diets stirs up the mud only to allow it to settle again. Consistent movement, healthy eating, and clean water often are enough for most people.

Summer is the time for growth. It is the time to do the most. Traditionally it is the time to plant crops. It is the best time to connect to the earth. Go barefoot and enjoy her!

Eating, sleeping, drinking with the

seasons can lead to better energy, sleep, movement, and state of mind. It is how our bodies naturally cycle, and working with the seasons, the seasons will work with you for a better quality of life.

Our neighboring Central and South American countries produce some pretty good ones. In fact, the best pineapples I’ve ever eaten were those beautiful golden ones in Colombia.

in Florida, and the Boca Raton area was famous for them. I’ve done it, but you just have to understand that the animals like them as much as you do, and they may get to them before you! Pineapples can be eaten raw and cooked in all kinds of great recipes.

After Columbus brought the pineapples back to Europe, they quickly traveled around the world with sailors, because they prevented scurvy, which is a disease due to lack of vitamin C. Besides vitamin C, the main biochemical of interest from the pineapple is bromelain, which is a mixture of proteases (enzymes that break down proteins). Bromelain comes from the main stump of the pineapple harvested after four years.

Pineapples have properties that are anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic (break down fibrin in our body’s tissues), and proteolytic (break down proteins). The proteolytic properties promote wound healing. Pineapple also may inhibit thrombocyte aggregation, which means it may inhibit clotting, which is sometimes a good thing; and it may have anti-cancer properties in lung cancer.

Pineapple is approved by Commission E, the approximate European equivalent of our FDA, for wounds and burns. Anecdotal uses include: • as an enzyme substitute for

digestive symptoms due to diseases

of the pancreas • stimulate healing after trauma or surgery • reduce edema • treat inflammatory digestive conditions • treat asthma • for weight reduction • treat constipation • treat amenorrhea

(lack of menstrual cycle) • treat dysmenorrhea

(painful menstrual periods) • treat vomiting • reduce fever.

napalmbeach.com

Precautions, adverse effects, and drug interactions: there are no known health hazards with proper administration of therapeutic dosages. Occasional allergic symptoms, stomach upset, and diarrhea have been reported with ingestion. Pineapple should be eaten with caution if you are taking anticoagulants or thrombocyte aggregation inhibitors, as it may increase your chances of bleeding. Taking bromelain while taking the antibiotics from the tetracycline family will increase the level of antibiotic in the blood, not always a good idea.

Dosage: 500-2000mg of bromelain daily for adults; for children, 150-300 FIP units.

POCKET CHOGYAM TRUNGPA

S

hambhala Pocket Classics publishes a line of small wonderful books that are so convenient to own. These are little gems of wisdom from authors such as Thich Nhat Hanh, The Dali Lama and Ken Wilbur.

I personally enjoy these books as they travel easily and offer deep pearls of wisdom to contemplate and meditate on. I frequently will carry one when I travel and often have one on my night stand. I enjoy taking a moment of silence and contemplation right before going to sleep and these books are full of inspiration. This particular book carries 108 treasures for your consideration.

Chogyam Trungpa was a Tibetan meditation master who founded Naropa University, the Shambhala Training program, and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International. Here are a few excerpts.

Idiot Compassion: Idiot compassion is the highly conceptualized idea that you want to do good. Of, course, according to the Mahayana teachings of Buddhism you should do everything for everybody; there is no selection involved at all. But that doesn’t mean to say that you have to be gentle all the time.

Your gentleness should have heart, strength.

In order that your compassion doesn’t be-

From Changing Times

Palm Beach Edition

come idiot compassion, you have to use your intelligence. Otherwise, there could be selfindulgence, thinking that you are creating a compassionate situation when in fact you are feeding the other person’s aggression. If you go to a shop and the shopkeeper cheats you and you go back and let him cheat you again, that doesn’t seem to be a very healthy thing to do for others.

Accepting Imperfections: We must be willing to be completely ordinary people, which means accepting ourselves as we are without trying to become greater, purer, more spiritual, more insightful. If we can accept our imperfections as they are, quite ordinarily, then we can use them as part of the path. But if we try to get rid of our imperfections, then they will be enemies, obstacles on the road to our “self-improvement.” And the same is true for the breath in meditation. If we can see it as it is, without trying to use it to improve ourselves, then it becomes a part of the path because we are no longer using it as the tool of our personal ambition.

The Truth of Suffering: We must work with our fears, frustrations, disappointments, and irritations, the painful aspects of life. People complain that Buddhism is an extremely gloomy religion because it emphasizes suffering and misery. Usually religions speak of beauty, song, ecstasy, bliss. But according to Buddha, we must begin by seeing the experience of life as it is. We must see the truth of suffering, the reality of dissatisfaction. We cannot ignore it and attempt to examine only the glorious, pleasurable aspects of life. If one searches for a promised land, a treasure island, then the search only leads to more pain. So all sects and schools of Buddhism agree that we must begin by facing the real-

napalmbeach.com

ity of our living situations. We cannot begin by dreaming.

Problems as Opportunities: The attitude that results from the Buddhist orientation and practice is quite different from “mistake mentality.” One actually experiences mind as fundamentally pure, that is, healthy and positive, and ‘problems’ as temporary and superficial defilements. Such a viewpoint does not quite mean getting rid of problems, but rather shifting one’s focus. Problems are seen in a much broader context of health: one begins to let go of clinging to one’s neuroses and to step beyond obsession and identification with them. The emphasis is no longer on the problems themselves but rather on the ground of experience through realizing the nature of mind itself. When problems are seen in this way, then there is less panic, and everything seems more workable. When problems arise, instead of being seen as purely threats, they become learning situations, opportunities to find out more about one’s own mind, and to continue on one’s journey.

Relationships can be very challenging. On top of it, most of us have not been taught how to understand and communicate with others, especially on difficult issues. Practicing the Compassionate Communication 4-Step Process will not only help you avoid pitfall relationship behaviors—such as judging, demanding, blaming, labeling, diagnosing, and thinking and speaking in terms of right and wrong—it will give you more confidence to speak your truth while inspiring greater love and compassion from others. Based on psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC, www.cnvc.org), Compassionate Communication is proven to facilitate improved connection with oneself and others, to reduce or alleviate emotional pain, and to support a focus on creating life-enhancing outcomes.
