newsbriefs Tantric Communication for Couples: Body-Centered and Sexy

Y

ou may have heard of Tantra, and think it refers to a sexual practice. Well, yes, and no. Tantra is actually an ancient spiritual training that embraces sexual energy as a pathway to divine consciousness. The principles of tantric lovemaking can also be applied to the way you and your partner communicate with each other.

Tantra is about becoming embodied. Obviously, if you’re reading this, you are embodied, you manifest on earth as a body that houses your spirit. However, to be truly “embodied” means to have intentional, heightened awareness of our own presence.

The body is a doorway through which we can step into an even greater sense of ourselves. By centering in the body, we open ourselves to what is beyond the body, to a higher vibration of our own existence.

Some spiritual trainings take an “out-of-body” approach.

Tantra instead invites us to become fully present IN the body, in order to access the deeper, non-physical truth of who we are. It is not about being more physical. It is about centering ourselves in the ultimate here and now of our being.

How does this apply to communication? Well, you know the expression “talking heads?” It is used to describe TV pundits

Embrace Your Magnificent Midlife!

Are you a women age 40 - 60 feeling the pangs of midlife? Are you struggling with loss or change such as: • Divorce • Empty Nest • Insecurities of again • Meaningful work

who are continually giving us their endless opinions. In a sense, we are all “talking heads.” We talk from our heads. “I think, therefore I am,” asserted Descartes back in the 16th century.

Identifying with our thoughts is indeed, a common way of selfreferencing, of recognizing who we are. Yet is it enough?

Thoughts are valuable and give direction to our lives. Emotions are a combination of our mental thoughts and the sensations or feelings we experience via our body. How thoughts feel in our bodies, what bodily sensations we experience when we think or express our own or hear another’s thoughts, and where we feel them, can give us powerful clues to our inner truth.

Thoughts and body feelings feed on each other, influence each other. Thoughts generate feelings. Sensations that we experience in the body trigger thoughts.

Tantric practices and rituals give us an opportunity to separate from our thoughts long enough to notice what the body is experiencing. It’s easy to imagine how this might enhance lovemaking, which is why tantric sex is so meaningful for a couple to learn together. In communication, too, noticing what the body is sensing becomes a helpful foundation for more meaningful and truthful dialogue.

Words matter. We experience a cognitive satisfaction, along with a bodily sensation, when we feel we have been heard, that our words have been understood as we intended. As in tantric sex, it is often during a pause, in a moment of silence, that this fulfillment is most awakened. Tantric communication encourages time for such pauses.

Instead of bringing us closer, words often cause a divide, a separation. We attack, we blame, we defend, we want to prove our point. Tantric communication intentionally uses words in ways that create connection. Rather then countering what our partner says, we learn to blend with their perspective, to see from their point of view, and then respectfully create a bridge to our own.

To communicate well we must be focused on the communication exchange. Often our attention wanders, gets hijacked by one of the thousands of thoughts that are continually arising

in our mind. In many spiritual practices, mantras are used during meditation to re-focus our attention. In tantric communication, we similarly learn how to bring our attention back, and how to request our partner’s attention if we feel we have lost that connection.

When we feel heard, we open ourselves to the present moment. This is where Tantra takes place. This is the opportunity for divine joy. Words themselves can be used to define and highlight such moments.

It’s not only about what we say and how we say it. In tantric communication, we learn to anchor words directly into our bodily presence. Our words become a conscious acknowledgment of our existence.

Chakras, centers of life-force energy in our bodies, can be accessed as focal points. We most successfully communicate our needs and desires when we align them with the appropriate chakra.

Energy follows attention. We can place attention in our heart center, for example, and say to our partner the simple word, “Heart.” Our partner hears this as both an affirmation of where we have put our attention, as well as an invitation to move into their own heart. Together in our hearts, we share the energy of love.

Communication is best when it flows back and forth. At times we are a mirror for our partner, reflecting back to them what we have heard them say. This not only lets them know that we are listening, it also helps them check within, to sense if those words really fit what they want to express. At other times we are a window, offering our partner a view into our own soul. Opening to our partner, allowing ourselves to be seen, creates intimacy (intome-see). Together, we open to an expanded consciousness of the moment.

Whole Foods Supports Americans’ Right to Know

I

W

hole Foods Market has become the first company in the industry to decide that all products containing genetically modified organisms (GMO) in its U.S. and Canadian stores must be so labeled by 2018.

“We support the consumer’s right to know,” said Walter Robb, co-CEO of Whole Foods Market, in announcing the policy. “The prevalence of GMOs in the United States, paired with nonexistent mandatory labeling, makes it very difficult for retailers to source non-GMO options and for consumers to choose non-GMO products.”

Genetic engineering introduces changes in DNA structure—usually to increase crop yield, plant hardiness and aesthetic appeal, rather than improve nutritional content. Acknowledged downsides of artificially transferring genes into plants include substantial increases in the use of chemicals and genetic cross-contamination of fields.

While major food companies funded the defeat of California’s Prop 37 calling for GMO labeling, 82 percent of Americans are pro-labeling, according to a recent poll by market research firm YouGov. On April 8, Americans will demand that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stop choosing Monsanto’s industrial interests over policy transparency and public health. Concerned citizens are beginning to take back America’s food system.

newsbriefs AM I PSYCHIC?

I

want to know, am I psychic? I am often asked this question in our Dream Angels shop. It’s usually followed by, “I mean, we all are, aren’t we?”. My response is usually the same, “I see it like math – is everyone good at math?” Yes, we all have the capability of doing math, but it does come more naturally for some people, and there are others who focus and practice, and become good at math. Still others only use their math skills when needed, and some try to avoid math at all costs! I see our psychic abilities the same way. Here’s the comparison: I believe some folks are born with their psychic abilities fully open and sometimes have a tough time turning them off to live a “normal” life (picture someone who constantly counts everything, and their brains compute numbers without intention). Other people are naturally intuitive and concentrate on developing their specific skills to become more aware of their psychic abilities (someone who enjoys the concepts of math and decides to become a math teacher). However, most people only honor their intuition when making decisions based on their “gut instinct” or going with an unexplainable feeling, (such as doing math only when needed, like balancing a checkbook), and still there are others who avoid any type of psychic awareness in themselves (this would be like someone who does not personally encounter math in any way – at home or work. Perhaps they don’t personally pay bills or shop, an accountant handles their finances, and their job in no way relates to counting.). Depending on where you are in the spectrum determines how aware you are of your psychic abilities. So yes, we are all born with the capabilities, but it’s up to us to determine how honed they become in our lives and how we use them.

If you’re someone who is born with your channels wide open, your path in this life may not be to become more aware of your abilities, it may be for you to learn how to live in a world where others do not see the things you see, or experience life in the way you experience it. You may spend your time learning coping mechanisms, and exploring ways to use your strong abilities in a “regular” job to help others.

If you are the second example, as some-

one who is aware of their natural intuitive abilities, but would like to more fully develop these abilities, your path may be one of meditation, workshops, and considering different options to challenge yourself as you grow into becoming more psychic. You may learn to use your new psychic awareness to expand your heart, understand the plight of others, and help to create understanding of the physical and metaphysical worlds, and those places in-between.

For people who reside in the last two categories, those who rarely use their “gut instinct” or “knowingness”, and those who avoid it altogether still have those psychic abilities, but choose not to allocate any energy to developing them. These abilities may have been dormant for so long that blocks have been built around the skills so it’s much more difficult to access. Without this awareness, they may not believe in being

intuitive, for themselves or anyone else.

They may discount these types of experiences and discourage anyone they know from developing their psychic abilities.

The majority of people we meet in our shop are like our second example – people who are aware of their abilities and want to further develop them. Most customers are surprised when we say that the first step to receiving clearer psychic vision is to better understand ourselves.

When we better understand ourselves, we build discernment to better determine when our abilities are becoming stronger, when our inner guidance is clear, and we create space for peace to enter our hearts.

When we experience peace and become loving toward ourselves, it’s much easier to build a strong psychic connection to our Divine power and receive messages and other information to guide us along our paths. The first step for understanding involves compassion and unconditional love for ourselves and everyone around us.

Palm Beach Edition

egional Physiotherapy Centre, School of Massage Therapy (RPCSMT) is currently accepting applications for its second session beginning in July.

Based in West Palm Beach, the school has a six-month massage therapy program taught by some of the leading experts in the field. The school was founded by parent company, Regional Physiotherapy Centre, Inc., which has provided the West Palm Beach area outpatient therapy services for 20 years. David Light, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Manual Therapist is president of the school and owner of Regional Physiotherapy Centre, which has four locations throughout Palm Beach County.

The field of massage therapy is growing rapidly in response to the public’s increasing interest in forms of healthcare that promote wellbeing and a higher quality of life. As a result, massage therapy is an emerging profession. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field is projected to grow by 19 percent, adding about 23,000 jobs by 2018. This is faster than average job growth as compared to other careers.

RPCSMT is a specialized massage school for those looking for a career change, first career or just to add a new licensure to their resume.

Students that enroll in RPCSMT can expect more than other schools can offer, including: classes instructed by Doctors of Physical Therapy and Licensed Massage Therapists; specialization in rehabilitative massage; flexible schedules allowing students to continue working; and a low student to instructor ratio. One might think this type of specialization comes with a higher price tag....it doesn’t. RPCSMT is more affordable than technical schools in the area offering the same type of degree.

“Having taught continuing education courses over the past decade, I have always felt a strong desire to move more fully into the healthcare education field,” said David Light, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Manual Therapist and president of the RPCSMT. “I established the school to give the future massage therapist a very exclusive, high quality education that will carry them far into their professional career. The mission of our school is centered on providing students with the unique opportunity to work and train with not only Licensed Massage Therapists, but Licensed Physical Therapists as well, allowing for a comprehensive view of both well and injured clients.”

RPCSMT is a private clinical and academic institution. Founded on a 20 year history of outpatient clinical practice, the school’s objective is to assist in developing highly trained and specialized massage therapists creating a significant resource for the rehabilitation industry.

newsbriefs LIVING AN INSPIRED LIFE

H

ealth, wellness and purpose are the keys to living an inspired life. Maintaining good health and achieving wellness involve sound nutrition, positive state of mind, connection and purpose.

NUTRITION We all must eat to stay alive. What we eat can either support and enhance or undermine our health and wellness. Around 400 B.C. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Modern medical science is finding more and more evidence proving that is very sound advice. Eating the right amounts of the right foods while avoiding the wrong foods can maximize health and wellness, enhance the ability to manage chronic diseases, and even reverse many diseases. Ancient wisdom and modern science converge in support of a largely plant based diet composed of a variety of fruits and vegetables, sprouted whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, with moderate amounts of clean fish, poultry, and meat. And the most ancient wisdom, the wisdom of nature, guides us to choose organic, unprocessed foods in their whole forms for the most potent healthful nutrition. (Visit www.dynamiclife.biz for more information.)

STATE OF MIND Our state of mind affects our experience of and interaction with the world around us. The importance of one’s state of mind really cannot be overstated. We are not, as some have postulated, the sum of our experiences. It is more accurate to say that we are the sum of our perceptions. However, this too is incomplete. Perception can be unthinking (subconscious) or thoughtful (consciously examined and considered).

How we perceive and react to the world around us is too often determined by the largely subconscious sum of our perceptions of previous experiences which in turn were colored by the subconscious filter, such as it was, at the time of each experience. So it’s easy to see how one’s state of being as an adult may be unduly affected by erroneous perceptions of past experiences, even perceptions and conclusions subconsciously formulated by the mind in childhood. Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” While he may have overstated the case for dramatic effect, it is true that one who does not exercise conscious control over the filter through which perception is formed largely abdicates control of his or her state of being. This is a topic that can be expounded

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

upon almost endlessly (and has been). Suffice it to say, a little conscious effort can in time result in significant control over one’s perceptions of and reactions to immediate events and the world. And a single word, MINDFULNESS, describes the foundation upon which a healthy state of mind may be actively cultivated and maintained. Anger … Jealousy … Greed … Resentment - All of these negative emotions are generally manifestations of fear on some level and are counterproductive if allowed to persist for very long. Once you realize you are in a negative state, taking a moment to analyze the root of the fear can go a long way toward changing your perception of the event or circumstance and create an opportunity to improve your state of mind.

This act of mindfulness is critical because it directly affects your connection to others and the world around you.

CONNECTION AND PURPOSE Connection and purpose are integral to one another and thus go together. While not impossible, it is difficult to maintain wellness without connection to others.

We human beings are social by nature.

Unless you are a monk or highly disciplined master of some kind, maintaining meaningful connection to others is a very good idea. Usually this begins with friends and family, but can also be shared with coworkers, colleagues, teachers, mentors, students, clients, patients, etc. From this list it is easy to see how connection can also form the context of one’s purpose. It need not be global in impact to be meaningful to you and its subject. Here again by taking direction from ancient wisdom, like “charity begins at home,” the Golden Rule, the law of equanimity, etc., I have found it to be most effective to start small and close to home. Simply being consistently kind and considerate of others, without expectation

of reciprocation or reward, is a powerful purpose that is its own reward. You may find that beginning in this way naturally leads to a progression of purpose toward an inspired life. Perhaps you will be led to forgive others. To truly forgive others for perceived transgressions is at least as much a gift to yourself as to the one being forgiven. Using mindfulness to develop empathy for others can go a long way toward expanding one’s capacity for forgiveness. Perhaps you will instead or also be inspired to be of service to others in some way. Start small. Without expectation of reward or the result, be spontaneously helpful to a coworker, friend, or family member. It may remain an isolated, finite point of light in the day for each of you, but then again, there’s no telling where it could lead.

As a health professional focused on health and wellness for over 20 years, I believe this is a vital topic. To me, “living an inspired life” means living a purposeful and healthy life. A purposeful life makes a positive difference in the world. It doesn’t have to be on a grand scale -positively affecting the life of one person is a big deal to that person. Feeling there is a purpose to one’s life is a powerful force for supporting and enhancing health and wellness.

newsbriefs LAUGH FOR NO REASON! Laughter Yoga Events in Boynton Beach – June 20, 21, 22

B

OYNTON BEACH, FL: Lighten up, relax and learn to laugh for no reason at the Introduction to Laughter Yoga ™ session with Juniper Wyndfyre on Thursday, June 20 at The Crystal Garden. Open to the public, the intro lasts from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and admission is $20.00.

“We always have a lot of fun,” says Wyndfyre. “Even if you come in a little nervous or grumpy, you’ll leave with a smile on your face.” Wyndfyre, who has been leading and certifying Laughter Yoga™ leaders for more than four years, studied with Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the program.

Thursday night’s introduction session will be followed by a two-day Certified Laughter Yoga™ Leader Training, June 21 and 22, 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. also held at The Crystal Garden. “People become certified leaders so they can take this healing practice out into the community through volunteer work with non-profits, wellness groups, conferences and even for therapeutic work within their families and in one-on-one sessions,” notes Wyndfyre. Many healers find Laughter Yoga™ an effective tool for relieving stress, she adds.

The Leader Training, June 20, 21 and 22, costs $279 until May 19; after May 19 the cost is $297.

Wyndfyre has conducted the Laughter Yoga™ Leader Training at the Miami Veteran Administration Healthcare System, certifying 15 system employees. Some of the participants, working in the hospital, found the training helped them manage their own stress and helped them change their perceptions when dealing with challenging patient issues.

“Anyone can do Laughter Yoga™. It’s more about the laughter, not the physical exercise so you don’t need to have experience with traditional yoga,” said Wyndfyre. “It’s a playful practice that releases tension in your body and mind, and is a wonderful way to break out of your routine.”

To register for either event: Introduction to Laughter Yoga™ or the Certified Laughter Yoga™ Leader Training, contact The Crystal Garden: 561-369-2836 or www.thecrystalgarden.com. You can send questions to info@thecrystalgarden.com The Crystal Garden is located at 2610 North Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, Fla. 33435.

newsbriefs WHY WE LOOK FAT

S

the first place. Diet is the key to losing pounds; exercise is not necessary for the majority of people to achieve weight loss.

Dr. Meng has years of clinical practice and has developed a fail-safe diet for people to follow.

Excess fat isn’t the only culprit in determining body shape. Water retention (edema) can cause a bloated or puffy appearance in the face, limbs, and trunk.

Bloating of the abdominal wall can occur from digestive disorders, poor diet, and from qi stagnation. In more severe cases of qi stagnation one can appear to be bloated without being overweight or having excess body fat. Congestive heart failure can also cause edema and a swollen appearance.

Acupuncture can be successfully used to reduce water retention, clear qi and/or blood stagnations, and thus help to improve overall body shape and appearance.

ummertime is approaching, which means time for beaches, pools and swimsuits! Many people are not comfortable with how they look in a swimsuit. But almost no one stops to consider that looking good is more complicated than how you shape fills out (or not) your swimwear.

Research has shown that a person’s level of health has a direct impact on their perceived level of attractiveness. There really is such a thing as a “healthy glow”.

First things first, to look good you’ll likely not want too many extra pounds hanging around. Many people still think that weight loss is just about counting calories and or exercising more. Counting calories is nowhere near as important as the quality of the food you choose in

Another aspect of health that strongly influences perceived attractiveness is the quality of skin. In fact several new studies suggest the quality of the skin is a more important factor than facial symmetry, which has long been considered to be one of the most important factors of attractiveness. The color, consistency, luster, texture, and tension of the skin all factor into how people will see you. Healthy skin should be taught but not too tight, the coloring should be consistent, and there should be a natural luster or shine to it. Changes in skin tone, especially on the face, reflect underlying imbalances and ill health.

While makeup may cover up some facial discolorations, the best way to look better is to get better. Dr. Meng has developed two advanced herbal formulas to help restore a naturally healthy shine to the skin; one specific for the facial skin and another for the rest of the body.

Finally there is the aspect of your overall health as a determining factor in how you look to others. This aspect can be a little vague due to the scope of what is involved in optimal health, which is quite broad. Everything from trouble sleeping to digestive trouble to stress can influence the way you look. For example chronic poor sleep can leave you looking tired and worn out with dropping eyelids, dark complexion, and loose facial muscle tone. Chronic stress can add wrinkles to your face, dark circles or lines under the eyes, and an overall dark or dull complexion. Certain illness and medications can damage the liver and result in jaundice – yellowing of the skin.

Acupuncture and herbal therapy can be used to treat all these conditions and help to restore overall health and balance.

Specific western markers of overall health such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and hours of sleep can all be improved with TCM treatment.

To summarize, to look your best you’ll want to concern yourself not just with your body size and shape but with your overall state of health. The healthier you are the better you’ll look, and more importantly, the better you will feel.

newsbriefs Are You Happy in Your Career?

E

mployment survey results show that there is quite a disconnect between what people say they want from their chosen career and what really makes them happy. When surveyed, people say they want a career that pays well and offers opportunity for advancement. And, when employees are asked what creates the most job satisfaction, what matters most to them is having a sense of purpose and feeling appreciated.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucius Careers that offer the opportunity to help others rank higher in overall job satisfaction than careers that do not. People are becoming very creative in finding ways to “have it all” – a larger income and more personal satisfaction!

“Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.” – Buddha In the Holistic programs we offer for training Reflexologists, many of our students tell us they came to our program to create a path for themselves toward a new, more fulfilling career.

By allowing them to incorporate their reflexology practice into their current careers, they look forward to increased earnings as well as the satisfaction of helping others on a soul level.

One of the many wonderful aspects of reflexology (and one of its best-kept secrets) is how energy-giving it is for the practitioner. By working on the various pressure points of the feet, hands, face and ears, a circuit of energy is opened between the client and the reflexologist that benefits both.

“I originally took Laura’s Professional Certification Program to earn CE’s and to expand my resume. Then I got the massage therapist position at the healing center I now work at because of my reflexology training. Now it is the focus of my practice! More and more clients want to both relax and heal, and reflexology is great for both! I’m now seen as a specialist, so I get paid more, and feel energized, too!” – Sara G, LMT, Reflexologist Reflexology, considered by the World Health Organization to be the leading alternative therapy in the 21st century, is enjoying a whole new level of popularity. Now is the perfect time to pave a new, more rewarding career path for yourself where you can have it all! Increase your income, increase your sense of purpose and appreciation and most of all, increase your joy!

“Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching sessions and Holistic Reflexology Training Programs in Delray Beach, Stockbridge, Massachusetts and New York City.

newsbriefs Sunnie Brooks; Evidential Spirit Medium in Palm Beach County

I

recently had an extraordinary experience after giving a demonstration of mediumship at the breathtakingly beautiful and historic Stage Neck Inn overlooking York Harbor in Maine. During the evening an audience member's grandfather came through to me in vivid detail. He made his presence known by announcing “battleship!”. The audience member, Megan, knew immediately that it was her grandfather who served on a submarine during World War II. This coincided with his saying to me “Tommy Dorsey” and I could hear Big Band music to denote the era. He showed me his handsome self, in his prime, with his prominent eyes, wearing his highly decorated cap indicating he was a high ranking naval officer. Megan confirmed that he had earned the rank of Admiral.

His personality came through as very tough but fair, his mind sharp and highly knowledgeable about all facets of maritime management. He also expressed remorse over sending so many men to their deaths during war time. Megan was also able to confirm the Japan connection that he had indeed been positioned in that area and

in the South Pacific. The image he kept showing me of the sinking battleships impressed me with the remorse that Megan mentioned. Grandpa” as he was called by Megan, told me she had two boys and that she had been “a bit soft on them”. Megan looked and her husband sitting next to her, smiled and they both nodded yes. Grandpa expressed that he wished he had lived longer so that he could have had more influence on her two sons. He advised her to stay firm in her points of view with them and commended her for being a very good mother. Her grandfather showed me a framed picture of his wife and he impressed me with feelings of deep admiration, love and pride for his wife. Megan teared up and said yes, they were soul mates.

At the end of the evening Megan and her husband approached me in the crowd and invited me to visit Grandpa's summer house which was just up the road from the Inn. The next day I met them at the house and there in the dining room was a large portrait of him looking right at me with those prominent eyes of his. It was truly rewarding and a bit startling to see the person I had communicated with from the

spirit world looking directly at me in the painting. It is an experience that I will never forget and I am very grateful to Megan and her husband...and Grandpa. (While I was in Grandpa's house, the name Frank kept coming into my head, repeatedly. Megan and her husband did not know of any Frank but checked with her brother after I left. Moments later, I received a text from Megan that Frank was the name of the neighbor that Grandpa was helping when he fell of his ladder which led to his passing. Frank wanted Megan and her family to know that he felt responsible and to express his deepest regret.)

newsbriefs TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT?

E

very one of us at some point in our lives has gone on a diet and followed the rules, lost the weight and gained it all back! So what happened? Losing weight and keeping the weight off is more than following the latest diet. Successful sustained weight loss begins by working through the road blocks that are holding you back.

At Boca Raton Weight and Wellness Institute, we know weight gain is a multi-factorial problem. And successful sustained weight loss begins with identifying the road blocks.

As a team of health care practitioners we address the emotional and physical factors that may be contributing to your weight gain. Many people come into the office who are frustrated and stressed out about their weight, but do not know how to achieve a healthy balance.

Which one are you?

• The Professional who doesn’t have a lot of time to cook and eats on the go?

• The Emotional Eater who cannot separate emotions from food and uses food as an anesthetic?

• The Frustrated Individual who has dieted their whole life with no success?

• The Obsessively Thinking Individual who is talking about food and the next meal and desperately wants to lose weight, only to gain more?

• The Self Conscious Individual who always feels fat?

The first road block is physical factors. Cecilia Lacayo M.D. will get to the underlying physical factors that may be contributing to your weight gain, and correct the problem. Physical factors include but are not limited to hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, neurotransmitter imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies.

The second road block is what behaviors and emotions are getting in the way of your success in achieving your goal and keeping that weight off. As your Life Coach, I will show you new strategies that will help you change the negative emotions and behaviors and turn them around into powerful forces that will

change and transform your life. These powerful forces are essential to a successful mindset for weight loss and a healthier life!

• • • •

Some things you will discover: • Change is a transformative process that holds many gifts; often the recognition that you are more than your body.

Self love for taking the steps to take care of your body and health.

Compassion for your personal struggle with battling your weight gain.

Gratitude for the strength, courage and ability to lose weight and keep it off!

Finding joy and passion in new areas of your life can lead to a fulfilling healthy life.

Don’t let the road blocks stop you! We all need help when we are ready to make change. Invest in your health today! Call Vicki Accardi, Life Coach at Boca Raton Weight and Wellness Institute

newsbriefs Whole Foods Market® Wellington named 2013 Environmental Business of the Year Company continues to be a leader in environmental initiatives; goal of Zero Waste by 2015

W

ellington, Fla. – Whole Foods Market in Wellington has been named the 2013 Environmental Business of the Year

by Florida Atlantic University’s Pine Jog Environmental Education Center. The award was presented to Whole Foods Market Team Members as part of FAU’s Green Gala.

Whole Foods Market Wellington is considered among the “next generation of environmental leaders” by the Pine Jog Environmental Education Center for its commitment to green initiatives.

Since opening in 2008, Whole Foods Market Wellington has been supporting environmental efforts in its store and community. The 52,000 square-foot facility was built utilizing many eco-friendly materials such as recycled cork, plastic bottle sky lights, coconut shells tiles in the café, and additional energy saving materials. The store has made it a priority to be involved with as many local environmental organizations as possible.

The Sierra Club, Resource Depot, Palm Beach Soil and Water Conservation District’s Envirothon Competition and Wellington Elementary School and High School Ecology Clubs are just a few of the green organizations that Whole Foods Market Wellington has supported.

The Wellington store, like other locations in Florida, has a full-time team member dedicated to educating the community, customers and team members about Green Mission initiatives.

The Florida region of Whole Foods Market has a strong commitment to the environmental stewardship and green mission initiatives, which is part of the company’s Core Values.

In 2012, the Florida region recycled 7 tons of cork through its partnership with Cork ReHarvest, which helps to collect and recycle some of the billions of natural corks that are produced each year. The primary goal of the recycling program is to ensure that we would not add to the corks’ carbon footprint.

In support of Clean Air Month this May, the Florida Region of Whole Foods Market will participate in the Clean Air Challenge, which encourages Team Members to carpool, take city transit, ride their bicycle or walk to work in an effort to reduce our impact on the environment.

As part of Whole Foods Market’s goal of Zero-Waste (as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency) by 2015, we do the following to divert waste from landfills: • Beach and waterway clean ups several times a year (all stores) • Composting in four stores with a goal of seven by the

end of May • Region-wide phone recycling program; provides refurbished

phones for elderly and battered woman to call 911 • Provide a drop off for our customers who can’t recycle

No. 5 plastic through our Gimme 5 program.

In January, the EPA ranked Whole Foods Market No. 3 on the quarterly 100 percent Green Power Users list and one of only three retailers in the top 10. Whole Foods Market was also ranked No. 2 on the EPA’s Top 20 Retail list, No. 4 on its National Top 50 list, and No. 4 on its Fortune 500 Partners list.

newsbriefs Turtle Nesting Season is Here!

MacArthur Beach State Park Welcomes it Whole Heartedly (North Palm Beach, FL) – It’s turtle nesting season at MacArthur Beach State Park and the staff and volunteers are welcoming it whole heartedly with turtle related activities and events throughout the summer. Turtle nesting season runs March through October, the first nest of the year was a leatherback nest recorded on March 15th.

Since the first nest the Park has had nine more leatherback nests and five loggerhead nests. Last year MacArthur Beach State Park had a record breaking season with more than 1900 nests along its 1.6 miles of beach.

With nesting season in full swing, the children from Palm Beach County schools that visit the Park in the next month will likely participate in the Turtle Hurdles program. Turtle Hurdles is a Project WILD program designed to teach students about the life cycle of a turtle, its food chain, hazards it may come across during its lifetime and how each student can make a difference in the environment around them. The children will analyze tracks on the beach and learn how to identify the type of turtle that made them. “Turtle Hurdles is one of my favorite programs to teach and defiantly one of the student’s favorites as well,” says Janice Kerber, Director of Education at Macarthur Beach State Park. Many of the students that come visit our Park have never seen the ocean let alone a sea turtle.

It is amazing to see the kid’s faces light up when seeing these things for the first time, and realizing they too can make a difference.”

Also this month the Park will begin taking reservations for their Sea Turtle Talks and Walks. This is a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of a nesting loggerhead sea turtle. Reservations for the Friends of MacArthur Beach members will begin on May 6, 2013 with walks being held on June 8th and 22nd and July 6th and July 20th. Reservations for the public will begin on May 28th and with walks being held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout June and July ending July 19th.

“This is an exciting time of year for us at MacArthur Beach State Park” says Don Bergeron, Park Manager. “We have lots of educational activities planned and we are looking forward to another recording breaking season.”

Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park in a non-profit corporation with a mission of generating supplemental resources to preserve restore and interpret the natural and cultural assets of the Park for present and future generations. “The Friends” are currently conducting a Give the Gift of Nature campaign for long term support of the Director of Education, enhanced quality and curriculum development. The Board of Directors will match contributions of $5000 and above up to $200,000.

newsbriefs THE BUDDHA BAR AND HEALING ARTS CENTER AT KULA YOGA SHALA

T

he Shala is housed in a renovated 4,000 sq ft warehouse space located directly in the heart of Jupiter (right where we like to be). Upon entering you are surrounded by lush chakra gardens with ample seating options to gather with friends, enjoy a book and tea, or setup an easel to paint or draw.

The interior of the space contains five individual treatment rooms for healing arts services and two larger group practice rooms which flank the central hub of Kula: The Buddha Bar.

As a gathering place, the Buddha Bar is inspired by the idea that yoga is a powerful way to connect to our intrinsic nature, so that this may become the platform from which we connect with one another.

Inspired by the vintage, renaissance style of authentic coffeehouses the Buddha Bar is all about good company and good conversation. We serve organic coffees and teas as well as healthy sandwiches, salads and snacks. You’ll find an assortment of beverages from tasty kombuchas to hydrating coconut waters and fresh carrot juices.

The vibrant interior of the space is designed in a style we lovingly refer to as “bohemian eclecticism meets peaceful tranquility” with a comfy couch, Indian poufs, and bar seating all surrounded by beautiful paintings from an assortment of Jupiter’s most talented local artists.

The Buddha Bar is open from 8:30am-8:30pm daily and makes for a wonderful way to spend a day at Kula practicing yoga, receiving a healing arts treatment and enjoying a healthy lunch or dinner.

The Buddha Bar is also host to Social Saturdays: a revolving Saturday night out rotating between Movie Night (1st Sat of month), Painting & Kava (2nd Sat of month), Drum Circle (3rd Sat of month) and All Arts Open Mic (4th Sat of month).

So don’t just take a yoga class then get in your car and drive home. Hang out, meet with friends or make new ones :). We hope you feel at home here and please know that you are always welcome! ~Namaste~ Social Saturdays at Kula Yoga Shala Every Saturday Night at 7:30pm 1st Sat: Movie Night 2nd Sat: Painting & Kava 3rd Sat: Drum Circle 4th Sat: All Arts Open Mic

PSA Testing Controversy

M

en face a new dilemma at their annual physical this year—should they be screened for prostate cancer?

Last year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against routine screening for this form of cancer, regardless of age. Some doctors claim this will cause treatable prostate cancer cases to be missed.

The level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland, can be measured with a simple blood test. Until the USPSTF issued its recommendation, doctors routinely used the test to screen men 50 and older. The task force, however, concluded there is at least moderate certainty that the potential harms of PSA testing outweigh the benefits; many benign conditions, particularly prostate infections and enlargement, can elevate PSA readings higher than normal, prompting more aggressive testing.

Before deciding on the test, it helps for men to explore this issue with their doctor. Some physicians take a “wait and see” approach and retest several times over a few months before making a recommendation; others suggest an immediate biopsy if PSA levels are high. While a blood test is a benign procedure, a prostate biopsy is not.

A high PSA reading coupled with an overly aggressive doctor can cause anxiety and result in additional—and possibly unneeded—medical treatment.

SPORTS AND MUSIC: A WINNING COMBINATION

L

istening to our favorite music, whatever the genre, can increase both our enjoyment of and performance levels in competitive sports participation. Keele University researchers, presenting these findings at the 2012 British Psychological Society annual conference, noted that playing selected tunes reduces perceived exertion levels, plus increases one’s sense of being “in the zone”. The greatest effects were found with music used during structured training sessions. Previous studies showing that motivational music in general boosts performance did not include exploring the effects of listening to one’s favorite music.

A Father’s Love is Critical

B

ased on 36 studies from around the world involving more than 10,000 participants, researchers at the University of Connecticut, in Mansfield, concluded that a father’s love contributes as much—and sometimes more—to a child’s development as a mother’s love. The critical importance of fatherly love to a youngster’s healthy development provides added incentive for men to become more involved in nurturing child care.

FLAVONOIDS PROTECT MEN AGAINST PARKINSON’S

F

indings published in the journal Neurology add to a growing body of evidence that regular consumption of flavonoids, found in berries, teas, apples and red wines, can positively affect human health. According to new research on 130,000 men and women undertaken

by Harvard University, in Boston, and the UK’s University of East Anglia, men that regularly consumed the most flavonoidrich foods were 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease than those that ate the least.

No similar protective link was found for women. It is the first human study to show that flavonoids can help protect neurons against diseases of the brain.

EXCESSIVE DIETARY FAT MAY HINDER CONCEPTION

O

ne reason for a couple’s inability to conceive could be linked to too much fat in the male’s diet. A study by Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital of 99 U.S. men uncovered an association between a high fat intake and lower sperm count and concentration. Results were published in the journal Human Reproduction.

Men that consumed the most saturated fats had a 35 percent lower total sperm count and 38 percent lower sperm concentration than men that ate the least amount of such fats. Moreover, men that ate more omega-3 polyunsaturated fats— the type of healthful fat often found in fish and plant oils—had better-formed sperm than men that ate less.

Fruits and Veggies Can Help Us Kick Butts

coverartist

T

he first long-term study on the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and smoking cessation offers good news: Eating more healthy produce can help smokers quit the habit and remain tobaccofree longer.

Researchers from New York’s University of Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions surveyed 1,000 smokers ages 25 and over from around the country. In a 14-month follow-up, they were asked if they had abstained from tobacco use during the previous month. Those that consumed the most produce were three times more likely to have been tobacco-free for at least 30 days than those that ate the least amount of produce.

Smokers with greater fruit and vegetable consumption also smoked fewer cigarettes per day, waited longer to smoke their first one and scored lower on a common test of nicotine dependence. The findings, published online in the Nicotine and Tobacco Research journal, remained consistent even when adjusted for age, gender, race, ethnicity, education and household income.

RESVERATROL CAN AID PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT

I

t’s already known that resveratrol, a compound found in grape skins and red wine, can improve cardiovascular health and help prevent strokes. Now a University of Missouri School of Medicine (Columbia) researcher has discovered that it can make prostate tumor cells more susceptible to radiation treatment, increasing the likelihood of a full recovery from all types of prostate cancer, including aggressive tumors.

Grilled Food Might Make Us Fat

T

he summer tradition of barbecuing may prompt a need for caution, according to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City.

They have identified a common compound in grilled foods that could play a major role in the development of obesity and diabetes (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).

The team, led by Helen Vlassara, a medical doctor and director of the Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging, found that mice that were exposed on a sustained basis to the compound methylglyoxal—a type of advanced glycation end-product (AGE) produced when cooking with dry heat—developed significant abdominal weight gain, early insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, AGEs have been found to lower the body’s protective mechanisms that control inflammation.

The researchers recommend that we replace frequent grilling, which uses high dry heat, with methods that rely upon lower temperatures or more moisture, such as stewing, poaching or steaming.

The Next Generation Dominic Piperata Creating art in his Indio, California, home studio comprises a personal form of meditation for Dominic Piperata; it allows him to step out of the world, exit a sense of time and become completely immersed in the creative process. He explains, “My lifelong fascination with art began at a young age. Despite studying at a California art school, I consider myself primarily self-taught. Whether painting, drawing, working in mixed media or with photography, I find joy in creating it all.”

Most of Piperata’s 25-year career has been spent working in the art world, but not primarily as a professional artist. He also likes to share his expertise by consulting with gifted emerging artists on their career development and marketing strategies. He consults with arts organizations, fine art photographers and boutique film companies, as well.

ne risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, may be sugary drinks. Analysis of data collected on 42,883 men in the “Health Professionals Follow-Up Study,” published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, linked a daily 12-ounce serving of a sugar-sweetened drink to a 19 percent increase in the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Sugar-sweetened beverages were associated with higher levels of unhealthy triglycerides and C-reactive protein (a byproduct of inflammation), and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, the “good” cholesterol.

Senior study author Frank B. Hu, Ph.D., a physician and professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, cautions that diet sodas are not a good alternative. “Some studies have found a relationship between diet soda and metabolic disease,” he notes.

Garlic May Help Alleviate Cystic Fibrosis

T

he American Society for Microbiology reports that by age 18, about 80 percent of patients with cystic fibrosis are chronically infected with the bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa, which promotes an inflammatory response that destroys lung tissue. The infection frequently leads to serious related health issues.

According to collaborative research led by Tim Holm Jakobsen, Ph.D., and Michael Givskov, Ph.D., of the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark, garlic, which acts as a powerful natural antibiotic, could help.

The onion-related herb contains ajoene, the major component of a multitude of sulfur-containing compounds, which is produced when garlic is crushed. Ajoene inhibits the expression of 11 key genes controlled by cell-to-cell communication and is regarded as crucial to the ability of the bacterium to cause disease.

Restoring Native Prairies, Yard by Yard From Canada south to Texas and from Indiana west to Colorado, nearly 600,000 square miles of grassland once contributed to this continent’s complex ecosystem, supporting a diverse and teeming web of life. Today, less than 1 percent remains intact.

The good news is that farmers and residents have been making inroads toward restoring this native landscape, converting suburban yards and rural fields to expanses of tall grass and fallow pastures that welcome native species. Government agencies and conservation groups, aided by volunteers, have undertaken numerous restoration projects across U.S. and Canadian prairieland, some of them comprising thousands of acres.

The initial investment in time and money starts with removal of invasive or even cultivated species and the planting of native grasses. Substantial benefits include lowmaintenance ecosystems that require less water and no fertilizer while supporting diverse wildflowers and wildlife.

But it’s not as simple as planting a few seeds. In semi-rural and more urban areas, neighbors and zoning laws don’t always see eye-to-eye with these “new pioneers”, especially in deed-restricted communities. Concern over perceived property value deterioration and a potential influx of vermin sometimes wins the day. Farmers have been known to plow under an entire restoration project upon news of rising grain prices due to the ethanol industry, in order to cultivate it for financial gain. It is evident that social and economic policies must support the effort if it is to succeed.

Eco-House

Green Homes Can be a Bargain One of the most innovative, energy-efficient houses in the United States has been built in the District of Columbia’s working-class Deanwood neighborhood, which has struggled with foreclosures.

The Empowerhouse, a residence that produces all of its own energy, consumes 90 percent less energy for heating and cooling than a conventional dwelling.

Empowerhouse was designed using “passive house” technologies as part of the Solar Decathlon design competition, held on the National Mall in 2011. It’s the work of students at The New School, in New York City, and Stevens Institute of Technology, in Hoboken, New Jersey, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development. Each duplicable unit costs a locally affordable $250,000.

Bringing the community into the design process for both the house and landscape is the basis for collaboration on additional projects in the neighborhood, including a new community learning garden. The designers remark that it all plays a part in creating social sustainability, an aspect often left out of development programs.

Cowabunga Dude All-Natural Boards Bring Sustainability to Surfing

Surfers count themselves among the most ardent environmentalists. Yet their sport is awash in petrochemicals and carcinogens, from neoprene wetsuits and urethane surfboard leashes to polyurethane boards and epoxy resins.

So surfboard shaper Danny Hess is adopting salvaged woods, natural finishes and organic resins to transform how they are made. His boards are built to last, an anomaly in a sport in which enthusiasts’ boards may break once or twice every season. He uses Super Sap, the first U.S. Department of Agriculture BioPreferred Certified liquid epoxy resin, and is experimenting with organic foam and salvaged redwood in seeking to build a truly green surfboard.

“What I’m trying to do is build heirloom surfboards that are passed on from father to son over many generations, rather than these disposable things that we’re just consuming,” Hess says.

Before founding Hess Surfboards, Hess lived in a straw-bale house in Colorado, studied sustainable architecture at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture, built tree houses and worked as a licensed contractor. “One day I had this ‘Aha!’ moment when I realized I could create these molds, like the ones I was using to bend wood for cabinet doors, for surfboards,” he says. Hess has since expanded into also making sustainable skateboards.

Moon Fuel Two New Sources of Sustainable Energy

Tech Trash

Recycle All Electronic Products With the average American household owning 24 electronic devices, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) estimates we are annually producing nearly 3 million tons of e-waste. Tube-type TVs and computer monitors contain lead, while cell phones harbor toxic mercury, cadmium, arsenic and brominated flame retardants, all of which can leach from landfills into groundwater.

Alternatives include selling old phones or trading them in at a store, and buying a new phone only when necessary. For $10, Staples will recycle any brand of computer monitor, desktop and laptop computer, fax machine, printer or scanner. Dell products are accepted at no charge.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers information about local e-waste recycling and regulations regarding handling of electronic equipment at Tinyurl.com/EPAeWasteTips. For a global perspective, see the United Nations Environment Programme 2010 update at Tinyurl.com/UNeWasteReport.

New Technology Increases Solar Efficiency There is huge potential in solar power, but our current methods of capturing the sun’s energy are limited as widely used silicon solar cells approach their theoretical limit of 33.7 percent efficiency. Now a Princeton University research team has applied nanotechnology principles to incorporate a design that significantly increases their efficacy.

Led by Stephen Chou, the team has made two dramatic improvements: reducing reflectivity and more effectively capturing the light that isn’t reflected. The new solar cell is much thinner and less reflective, capturing many more light waves via a minute mesh and bouncing off only about 4 percent of direct sunlight. The new design is capable of capturing a large amount of sunlight even when it’s cloudy, producing an 81 percent increase in efficiency even under indirect lighting conditions.

A new compound of lead telluride— a semiconductor first used in the Apollo moon landings to provide astronauts with a renewable, thermoelectric power source—can transform the heat emitted from car tailpipes and the chimneys of power stations and factories into a power source. According to the scientists engineering the innovation at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois, as much as 15 to 20 percent of the heat currently being lost could be recovered as electricity.

Another team of researchers at Utah State University, in Logan, has created a yeast biodiesel fuel that can be made using the watery waste from the mass production of cheese. One cheese plant’s daily byproduct of up to 1 million gallons of liquid cheese waste can produce 66,000 gallons of fuel.

Norway Recognizes Fatherhood Norway’s liberal paternity leave policy places equal responsibilities on men and women, which in turn progressively redefines traditional gender roles. Pappapermisjon, or paternity leave, is often combined with a mother’s maternity leave to provide seamless childcare at home without overtaxing parents’ work life. The Norwegian government has socially engineered a society in which men and women are expected to have equal domestic and economic responsibilities.

Some specifics of the country’s “fathers’ rights” philosophy include leaving the workplace by 5:30 p.m.; being able to adjust office hours around daycare drop-offs and pickups; and allowing time to organize family dinners and help with housework.

Clean Ride

Turf Trouble

DIY Versus Commercial Carwash We all want our new, energyefficient vehicles to look their best, and eco-conscious drivers want to extend their green lifestyle to include cleaning their car. Washing can provide some exercise and saves money, but the International Carwash Association reports that automatic car washes use on average fewer than 45 gallons of water per car, compared with 80 or more at home. Commercial facilities also drain wastewater into sewer systems to be treated or reused, while soapy do-it-yourself water can directly enter waterways via storm drains unless it’s in an area that filters into a local aquifer.

Here are some helpful tips.

Conserve water. For DIY folks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends using a bucket instead of a hose for washing a section at a time, and then quickly rinsing using a pistol-grip hose nozzle, and also washing the car on gravel or a lawn, so wastewater doesn’t flow off pavement or sidewalks and down a storm drain. Be sure to use phosphate-free, non-toxic biodegradable soaps and waxes.

Check under the car. Grime, dirt and salt may have accumulated in crevices of the undercarriage, especially in colder regions, so spray underneath, too.

Be observant. A fender-bender, stray pebbles or the impact of another car door may have chipped exterior paint. According to the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, corrosion, acid rain, storm damage and harsh sunlight can also mar body paint and expose metal surfaces. Treat these blemishes with a stop-rust spray and touch-up paint before they spread.

Florida Lawn Spray Spreads Disturbing Effects Chlorothalonil, sold under the brand names Bravo, Echo and Daconil, is a toxic fungicide that’s been used by farmers for more than 40 years to protect 65-plus crops—including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants and nuts—from 125 diseases caused by mold and fungus. It’s also become a popular commercial turf grass and home lawn spray in Florida.

Researchers at the University of South Florida (USF), in Tampa, conducted an experiment they claim mimics real-world conditions of application and runoff into waterways that produced alarming results. USF Biologist Taegan McMahon, co-author of the study published in the journal Ecology Letters, describes how a variety of species were affected. “It basically wiped out all of the amphibians,” McMahon reports. Most of the snails, crayfish, water plants and other creatures in a series of tanks, including the smallest floating organisms, also died, which allowed algae to grow into oxygen-hogging blooms. The poison works by disrupting cellular respiration.

Co-author Biologist Jason Rohr states, “Some species were able to recover from the chemical assault, but the ecosystem was fundamentally changed after its exposure to chlorothalonil.”

The researchers note that the results of this ecosystem-level experiment are consistent with several laboratory toxicity studies and observations in the field.

LIFE LIFT Being Happy from the Inside Out

by Judith Fertig

An age-old question rides a new wave of bestseller lists, university research and governmental soul-searching. The answers to “What are the secrets of a happy life?” might surprise us.

H

“

appiness is the only true measure of personal success,” advises Geoffrey James, of Hollis, New Hampshire, author of How to Say It: Business to Business Selling. His work confirms that the rollercoaster world of business does not always promote a sense of well-being. James believes, “The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control.” For him, something as simple as a good night’s sleep contributes to personal happiness.

Each of us has certain things that help make us feel positive, and they often come in small moments, advises Ed Diener, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Illinois and author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth. Based on 25 years of research into the subject, he’s a recognized expert in what he calls “subjective well-being.”

In a recent six-part BBC series on happiness, Diener told viewers, “It may

30

sound silly, but we ask people, ‘How happy are you, on a scale of one to 10?’

The interesting thing is that it produces real answers that are valid—not perfect, but valid—and they predict all sorts of real things in their lives.”

Getting to Happy

The moment-to-moment path to happiness follows a trail blazed by paradox. A recent University of Missouri College of Business study by Marsha Richins, Ph.D., suggests that happiness is in the wanting, not the getting. As noted Positive Psychologist Martin Seligman, Ph.D., remarks, “Focusing solely on happiness as a foundation of a good life,” won’t get you there.

Gretchen Rubin, the New York Citybased author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, further finds that, “Happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy.” Trying each day to be emotionally centered, affable, kind, conscientious, generous, patient, principled, accom-

plished, spiritual and true to yourself— the kind of person that should be happy and that makes other people happy—can be tough.

Widespread economic and associated financial challenges have made many question whether money can buy happiness, a common core assumption of the “happiness starts on the outside” approach. Apparently, money can sometimes buy feelings of well-being, but only to a certain degree, according to researchers Angus Deaton and Daniel Kahneman, at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs.

In 2010, they surveyed 450,000 randomly chosen residents across the country via daily questionnaires. The study revealed that, “Low income exacerbates the emotional pain associated with such misfortunes as divorce, ill health and being alone.” Yet they also discovered that, “High income buys life satisfaction, but not happiness,” and there is no further progress in happiness beyond an annual income of $75,000 (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).

On the other side of the world, in the tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan, where 70 percent of its 717,000 citizens are subsistence farmers and an annual income of $75,000 would be considered a fortune, people say they are generally happy, partly due to the nation’s “happiness starts on the inside” philosophy. Since 1971, Bhutan has been operating based on a gross domestic happiness (GDH) value system. Bhutanese Prime Minister Jigmi Y. Thinley explains that the country has focused on growing both materially and spiritually, and citizen well-being has taken precedence over economic growth.

For decades, this was deemed an oddity by many in the West, although now it appears prescient. “It’s easy to mine the land and fish the seas and get rich,” says Thakur Singh Powdyel, Bhutan’s minister of education. “Yet we believe you cannot have a prosperous nation in the long run that does not conserve its natural environment or take care of the well-being of its people, which is being borne out by what is happening to the outside world.” The country measures its success in maintaining GDH by conducting regular surveys of the popula-

tion. The reigning official definition of happiness involves peace, contentment and living in harmony with all creation.

Seligman, author of Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being, has become a believer in GDH. “How can you measure well-being in a person, a family, a country or globally?” he queries. Research by Seligman and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, points to four basic elements: positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and accomplishment, or PERMA.

Seligman says there are proven ways to improve each element. For positive emotion, writing down three “blessings”, or things that went well that day, can increase our feelings of gratitude and wellbeing. For relationships, actively listening and being present for a loved one and having that attention returned can strengthen those bonds. Increasing meaning in our lives, says Seligman, can be a challenge for Westerners. “We have threadbare spiritual and relationship furniture. We have too much ‘I’ and not enough ‘we,’” he says. But getting involved in something that increases the “we” factor will help make us happier.

Nurturing Signature Strengths

Self-surveys at AuthenticHappiness.com can help us identify our strengths and realize what we’re especially good at— and we increase our feelings of accomplishment by doing more of them. “You can even figure out how to do the task you like least by using your signature strength,” Seligman advises. He shares an example of a grocery store cashier that disliked bagging groceries, but was exceptional at social interaction. She made herself happier by chatting with her customers while she packed their selections.

Lara Blair, a portrait photographer in Camas, Washington, believes in celebrating strengths. “If making things is what you love, give it the space in your brain, home and life that it deserves.”

Blair’s seminars and retreats help people tap ways to increase feelings of creativity, accomplishment and meaning. “If you nurture it and believe that growing this beautiful thing is worth the effort,

If I become happy and it makes you happy, it is like tipping the first domino so the next one falls and that happiness spreads. ~ James Fowler, economic behaviorist, University of California-San Diego the rewards will be more than you ever dreamed,” she says.

When, as a happily married lawyer with children, Rubin thought her life was missing something vital, she used her love for reading and writing to explore that wistful, “What if?” She started researching subjective happiness via Marcus Aurelius, Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin and St. Thérèse de Lisieux, whom Rubin refers to as her “spiritual master.” She decided to test-drive her findings at HappinessProject.com and began blogging about new ways of thinking and behaving that were bringing her and her readers greater self-realization and contentment.

“A great place to start is with your own body,” she counsels. “Are you getting enough sleep? Are you getting good food to eat? When you take care of those very basic things, you feel energized, and then you can start moving to address other issues.”

Sustaining Happiness

Once we’ve upped our happiness quo-

tient, it can still be difficult to stay at that level, says Kennon Sheldon, professor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, in Columbia. In a recent study conducted with researchers at the University of California-Riverside, Sheldon and his colleagues found that by both recognizing that the desire for “more” and “better” in our lives won’t stop and also appreciating what we have, we’ll stay happy. It’s equally vital to continually keep things fresh, with positive new experiences at home, work, play and exercise, as well as in relationships.

In other words, sustained happiness takes a little work.

“Just before going to bed,” suggests James, “write down at least one wonderful thing that happened that day. It may be anything from making a child laugh to a big sale. Whatever it is, be grateful for the present day, because it will never come again.”

The benefits of individual well-being radiate to those around us, notes Seligman. “When individuals are flourishing, they are more productive at work, physically healthier and at peace.” He believes that as we find ways to increase positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and individual accomplishment, it’s possible for life on Earth to flourish.

COLORING OUR WORLD

How Hues Can Help and Heal

by Judith Fertig

From relaxing in a hot tub amidst sparkling blue lights to sleeping soundly surrounded by soft-green walls, we continuously experience the subtle influence of colors in our surroundings.

W

hile humans have long appreciated nature’s chromatic displays, it wasn’t until 1666 that Sir Isaac Newton proved that white light from the sun refracted through a prism separates into the individual bandwidths we perceive as hues. A growing body of research by physicians, environmentalists, psychologists and alternative medicine specialists is now exploring how color—as light and pigment—can affect people physically, mentally and emotionally.

According to Pakistani research physicists Samina T. Yousuf Azeemi and S. Mohsin Raza, working from the University of Balochistan, “Colors generate electrical impulses and magnetic currents or fields of energy that are prime activators of the biochemical and hormonal processes in the human body.”

Different colors cause different reactions, from stimulating cells to suppressing the production of melatonin.

32

Published in the journal EvidenceBased Complementary Alternative Medicine, Azeemi and Raza’s photobiology research, applied as chromotherapy, supports premises of ancient Chinese, Egyptian and ayurvedic healing traditions in which color is intrinsic to healing: for example, red increases circulation; yellow stimulates nerves; orange increases energy; and blue and green soothe everything from skin irritations to anxiety.

Blue light can reset our biological clocks. Although electric light attempts to mimic natural sunlight, the body does not sense it that way, according to findings published in Environmental Health Perspectives. During the day, artificial light with more blue wavelengths may help improve the performance of students and employees working indoors; at night, a reduction of the blue portion in artificial lighting provided for shift workers could protect against sleep disturbances.

The irony, notes Science Writer David C. Holzman, of Lexington, Massachusetts, is that applications of blue light are now used to cure some of the very things it can cause—sleeplessness and depression.

Palm Beach Edition

Sonya Nutter, a Kansas City mother of three elementary schoolchildren, can attest to the soothing effect of blue light when soaking in her Kohler chromotherapy tub in the dark: “It’s even better than lavender scent for calming,” she says.

“Color clearly has aesthetic value, but it can also carry specific meaning and information,” says Andrew J. Elliot, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, in New York. He and a team of researchers concluded that, “Seeing red is not good before [taking] a test measuring performance” (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General). In contrast, they found that seeing green enhances creative performance.

Photodynamic therapy, a recently developed, non-invasive cancer treatment, involves injections of a lightsensitive solution, followed by shining laser-emitted blue light on internal tumors or light-emitting diodes (LED) on surface tumors. A National Cancer Institute fact sheet explains how such light kills cancer cells and shrinks tumors.

Based on the success of NASA experiments and research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, red LED lights are also helping cancer patients deal with sore mouths associated with chemotherapy and radiation used for bone marrow and stem cell transplants. Treating diabetic ulcers is another application, according to a 2012 study in the Journal of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes of South Africa. Red light sessions at many medical spas help rejuvenate aging skin by stimulating collagen production.

Color as pigment can convey subtle cues to influence our perceptions, attitudes and behavior. In a study conducted at England’s Oxford University and Spain’s Polytechnic University of Valencia, for example, participants believed that hot chocolate tasted better in orange mugs than any other

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. ~ Pablo Picasso color, with white scoring lowest. “Color associations are so strong and embedded so deeply that people are predisposed to certain reactions” when they see a color, explains Elliot, a learned association that is often culturally based.

Because color can engender individual emotional response, it plays a major role in one’s preferences in surroundings,

including wall colors, furnishings and appliances. Pantone, a leading provider of color systems to businesses worldwide, annually recommends a specific color that it feels best connects with the current zeitgeist, or prevailing spirit and mood, so that manufacturers of paints, kitchenware and fabric will produce the look people will want to have around them.

In 2011 Pantone picked a vibrant pink. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explained that “In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits, a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline

going.” Now sensing greater optimism, their 2013 color choice is a vivid emerald, described as “lively, radiant and lush… a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.”

T

he ancient Greek playwright Euripides, renowned for his Greek tragedies portraying strong female characters, was likely a decent dad. He wrote, “To a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter.”

Entrepreneur and life coach Greg Wright, of Austin, Texas, updates the concept of this precious relationship in Daddy Dates: Four Daughters, One Clueless Dad, and His Quest to Win Their Hearts. He says that before the age of 30, God gave him a lovely wife; four girls, or “beginner ladies”; and a succinct mission statement: “Don’t mess up.”

Possessing an overwhelming compassion and protective instinct for each of his children, Wright decided early on “to teach them the right way to date and to treasure their specialness as much as I do.”

One of his chief assignments was respectfully modeling good dating habits for his daughters, a talent that doesn’t necessarily come naturally to dads. They may understand how significant a fathering relationship is to her self-worth in becoming a dauntless and independent adult, but may be uncertain how to make a proper investment spiritually and emotionally.

vid Kinard, of Seattle, Washington, invests heavily in both his son and daughter. Having grown up in a separated family with no fatherly role model, he has focused on spending time with both kids, and knows it’s especially important for a girl.

“I wanted my daughter to know that I loved her for who she was and not for anything she said or did, and that she didn’t need to give her body away to find love.” He felt the best way to convey these truths was to provide dedicated time together. Wednesdays were without fail their date nights, beginning at age 4; dates are less frequent now that his daughter is 16, but even when the relationship feels at odds, dates have consistently brought them together.

“She always got to choose where we went to dinner,” Kinard recalls. “We’d sit for a long time, eat our favorite foods and play a silly card game.” They talked about anything, nothing, everything. “She glows when she talks about past dates,” he continues. “I have earned the ability to talk with her about the more sensitive subjects in her life such as boys, sex, friends and family.”

Seattle Pacific University Alumni Director Ken Cornell believes that bonding through dating his two girls, ages 14 and

17, is a true privilege. He says the same is true of his wife of 27 years. “It is so important to get away from the routine, to focus on each other,” Cornell remarks.

“It’s amazing what is said when we give space for a relationship to deepen.”

His younger daughter believes, “It’s confidence building; it makes me stronger to be with someone who believes and has hope in me.”

Dressing up on occasion, holding the door open and allowing her to order for herself show respect and make her feel treasured. Later, if she doesn’t get that same level of respect on a first date with a boy, she will be less likely to schedule a second.

Cornell often worries that he doesn’t model enough of the love and honor his girls deserve. He finds grace in prayer. “I ask God regularly for wisdom and forgiveness to help me steward my relationship with my daughters and wife.”

The writer’s own family of six, including two daughters, has a long history of carving out precious time for refreshing fun. It naturally evolved from movies and petting zoos when they were young to canoeing and college campus events

as they grew up.

“My boyfriends knew that if we were going to last, they had to impress my dad,” remembers our youngest daughter Amy, today a wife and esthetician living in Medina, Ohio. “It was important to know that my dad cared enough to engage in my life. When college life was chaotic, it was comforting to have a dad close to my heart. Our dates through the years allowed us to share stories, secrets and sorrows, and to laugh.”

Clint Kelly’s books include Dare to Raise Exceptional Children.

Some of these activities may bring out the twinkle in any daughter’s eyes.

Join an ethnic cooking class. Then watch a DVD set in the corresponding country or region.

Be a Sport. Suggest doubles tennis or ride a bicycle built for two.

Volunteer at a local charity. Help others and then stop at the ice cream parlor on the way home.

Make a home drive-in. Decorate cardboard boxes together so they look like favorite cars. Then sit in them to watch fun movies like Toy Story or Up… and pass the heirloom popcorn.

Paint some pottery. Many ceramics stores offer lessons. Make individual or joint artistic creations that can become home decorations and visual memories.

Shop at the dollar store. Secretly spend one dollar on each other, and then unveil the gifts over a frozen yogurt treat.

Gotcha! Arrange with her school for her to leave school early for a surprise lunch date.

n outdoor spaces from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Arch Cape, Oregon, produce is growing and grill embers are glowing.

Growing a garden and grilling its bounty have never been more popular.

For the first time since 1944, when 20 million “Victory” gardeners produced 44 percent of the fresh vegetables in the United States, food gardening is outdistancing flower gardening. In its latest survey of garden retailers, the National Gardening Association found that consumers’ spending for growing their own food hit $2.7 billion, versus $2.1 billion for flowers.

Barbecuing grill chefs are expanding their repertoire beyond grass-fed burgers and steaks. More vegetables and fruit are being grilled now than in the past, according to the latest annual survey by leading grill manufacturer Weber.

This all makes sense to Karen Adler and Judith Fertig, co-authors of The Gardener & the Grill. They’ve observed that when the bounty of the garden meets the sizzle of the grill, delicious things happen. “Natural sugars in vegetables and fruits caramelize,”

36

says Adler. “Essential oils in fresh herbs become more aromatic. The colors of fruits and vegetables stay more vivid when grilled, rather than when cooked any other way.”

“Grilling gives even familiar foods an exciting new makeover,” notes Fertig. For example, by cutting a head of cabbage into quarters, brushing each cut side with olive oil and then grilling and chopping, the backyard chef infuses a grill flavor into a favorite coleslaw. Flatbreads, patted out from prepared whole-grain or gluten-free pizza dough, can be brushed with olive oil, grilled on both sides and then topped with flavorful garden goodies. Simple fruits like peaches and plums—simply sliced in half, pitted and grilled—yield fresh taste sensations, especially cradling a scoop of frozen yogurt.

A quick foray to the garden or farmers’ market can provide just the right colorful, flavorful edge to any summer barbecue.

Fresh on the Grill Kale, Potato and Chorizo Pizza

Hearty but not heavy, this pizza takes kale (or alternatively, Swiss chard or collard greens) and onions from the garden, and then adds vegetarian chorizo to accent.

Yields 4 servings 1 pound fresh whole grain or gluten-free pizza dough ¼ cup whole grain or gluten-free flour for sprinkling 4 new potatoes, cooked and thinly sliced 8 kale leaves Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling Grapeseed oil for brushing the grill rack 8 oz cooked and crumbled vegetarian chorizo (Portuguese or other spicy sausage optional) ½ cup chopped green onion (white and light green parts) Coarse freshly ground black pepper Prepare a hot fire on one side of the grill for indirect cooking. Oil a perforated grill rack with grapeseed oil and place over direct heat.

Divide the dough into four equal parts.

Sprinkle with whole grain or gluten-free flour and press or roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Sprinkle flour of choice on

two large baking sheets and place two rounds of dough on each sheet. Brush the potatoes with olive oil, place on the perforated grill rack and grill for 15 minutes, turning often, or until tender before topping the pizza.

Brush the kale with olive oil. Grill leaves for 1 minute on each side or until slightly charred and softened. Quickly trim off the bottom of the stalk and strip the leaves from the stems. Finely chop the leaves and set aside.

Brush one side of each pizza with olive oil and place, oiled side down, on the direct heat side of the grill grate. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough starts to bubble. Brush the top side with olive oil and flip each pizza round, using tongs, onto a baking sheet.

Quickly brush pizza rounds with additional olive oil, and then spoon on onefourth of the sliced potato and grilled kale.

Fresh fish tacos with a twist are a healthy treat. Tip: Assemble the raw slaw ingredients before grilling the cabbage, which cooks simultaneously with the fish.

Yields 4 servings Grilled Napa Cabbage Slaw Taco Topping 1 large head Napa cabbage, cut in half lengthwise Grapeseed oil, for brushing 1 cup assorted baby greens, such as spinach, oak leaf lettuce or Boston lettuce 8 green onions, chopped (white and green parts) ¼ cup tarragon vinegar ¼ cup sour cream ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice ½ tsp fine kosher or sea salt Baja Fish 1½ lbs mahi mahi, catfish, halibut or other mild, non-farmed, white fish (about ¾-inch thick) ¼ cup blackened seasoning or other barbecue spice mixture 8 whole-wheat flour tortillas, for serving 8 lemon wedges, for serving 1½ cups of a favorite salsa, for serving Prepare a hot fire in the grill.

Brush the cut sides of the Napa cabbage halves with oil. Coat the fish fillets

with the blackened seasoning or other selected spice mix.

Grill the cabbage, cut-side down, directly over the fire for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cabbage shows good grill marks, then remove from heat.

Grill the “flesh”, or cut side, of fish fillets first (not the skin side, which is darker because it is more delicate) directly over the fire for 3 to 4 minutes.

Baja Fish Tacos

Grilled Peaches with Lemon Balm Gremolata

This recipe is simple, yet full of flavor. A traditional gremolata condiment includes parsley, lemon zest and garlic, but this sweeter version finds deliciousness in fruit. Using a microplane grater culls the flavorful yellow part of the lemon rind without the bitter white pith. Chopping the herbs with the lemon zest make the flavors blend together better.

Turn the fish only once, and finish cooking with the skin side against the grate another 3 to 4 minutes, for 10 total minutes per inch of thickness (most fish fillets are about ¾-inch thick). Note: The skin side is last because it has more connective tissue and holds together better on the grill.

Yields 4 servings

Finish assembling the slaw. Thinly slice the grilled cabbage and place in a large bowl. Stir in the greens and green onions. Having earlier combined and mixed the vinegar, sour cream, lemon juice and salt for the slaw dressing in a small bowl, now pour it over the greens mixture. Toss to blend.

Chop the lemon balm or mint and lemon zest together until very fine. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the leaves and chop again. Set aside in a small bowl.

Assemble the tacos by placing some of the grilled fish on each tortilla. Top each with about one-third cup of the slaw and roll up, soft taco-style. Serve with a lemon wedge and a small ramekin of salsa.

raig Hamilton is a writer, radio host and workshop leader devoted to helping people evolve their consciousness for the greater good. The former managing editor of What is Enlightenment? magazine, Hamilton went on to found Integral Enlightenment, an online education program for those on a contemporary spiritual path.

Since then, thousands of people have participated in his courses and workshops, and the vast majority have been women. Natural Awakenings asked Hamilton for his insights on this trend.

What’s behind the gender imbalance in personal growth and enlightenment circles?

Two years ago, I hosted a summit called The Way of the Evolutionary Man that included a discussion about why more men aren’t drawn to participate in these kinds of things. One of the main points made was that, while many Americans have focused on creating equality for women in the last 50 years, there hasn’t been a comparable men’s liberation movement.

I know that some would say, “Why do we need that? Men are already the ones with the most power, freedom and privilege.” Yet it became clear during our discussion that men do not have freedom when it comes to choosing among valued

Palm Beach Edition

social roles.

For example, a woman can feel valued whether she pursues a professional career or something else that we might call a path of the heart, such as following artistic passions, working for a nonprofit or serving as a teacher. But if men do such things, they risk losing value among women.

Traditionally, women have wanted to be with men that are more economically successful than they are. If a man decides he wants to be an artist or a spiritual practitioner or follow what we might label a higher calling, he’s stepping out of traditionally validated activities for men. So the reason that more men aren’t putting more time into their personal growth could be that they’re not being valued for that.

What might it take to shift this phenomenon?

If women want men to join them on paths of personal and spiritual growth, they might need to start in analyzing the part of themselves that says, “I want a man who makes more money than me, is successful and able to be the family provider.” Many women want their men to be conscious, sensitive, reflective and capable of profound intimacy, plus be a good provider.

I’ve heard from some men that feel seriously pained about this. A few said

that they always wanted to be, for example, a musician or a teacher, but they couldn’t see themselves being sufficiently successful at it, or their family discouraged it.

Is pursuing personal growth at odds with being a breadwinner?

I teach a spiritual path that anyone can pursue in the midst of their busy life. It involves turning everything into a spiritual practice.

It means observing your own motivations and distortions and experiencing a different relationship to life that’s no longer rooted in patterns of the past and the ego.

I believe this work appeals to men because, while there is a meditative and interior dimension to it, the bigger part is calling people to step up in life and remove the obstacles inside themselves that keep them from playing their biggest game. Spiritual life isn’t about getting beyond this world; it’s about the evolution of our world through conscious participation. That’s something men and women alike can become inspired by and put their energy behind.

How can men be most effective in a changing world?

In order to be truly effective, each person needs to do the necessary inner work. It’s not enough to focus on trying to do and accomplish and acquire without clarifying what’s getting in the way of your full self-expression and creative engagement.

It’s easy to think about life in terms of our history, identity, desires and concerns, but that’s just a small part of who we are. At our deepest level, we are this unfolding evolutionary process that’s been going on for more than 13 billion years. Now we have the ability to participate in the greatest adventure of all, that of conscious evolution, growing into a future aligned with our highest ideals, visions and aspirations. While that is mobilizing generations of women, I am finding that it also speaks to the highest aspirations of men.

Step Up to Barefoot Benefits

by Randy Kambic

B

arefoot walking conjures images of children playing in open fields and families strolling on a beach, yet it can also embrace many other settings as part of a health and fitness routine and lifestyle of optimum wellness. As Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee attest in their new book, Barefoot Walking, “It’s not just physical; it’s soothing on an emotional and spiritual level.”

In adults, many muscles in our feet may have weakened and atrophied due to disuse from wearing shoes, which substitute the support and mobility that our bodies’ lower parts were created to provide. Years of wearing tight-fitting shoes or high heels can also hamper bone density and proper alignment of each foot’s 28 bones; produce aches and pains in knees, back and neck; and constrict circulation to legs and feet, a condition compounded by desk jobs.

Here are some tips in preparing to go shoeless: Work out feet. Prevention.com advises working to individually wiggle each toe; touch and rub each in its entirety; and flex and move both feet in as many different ways as possible. This will help them better absorb and distribute weight. Then, suggest Sandler and Lee, try “grabbing” exercises for toes, picking up round objects ranging in size from golf balls to baseballs. Also practice arch lifts, calf raises and ankle rolls.

Check it out. Walk around a room and note if the weight upon landing moves from the heel to the big toe right away; if so, try shifting bodyweight while walking so that the pressure proceeds from the heel to the little toe and then across to the big toe. This maximizes functioning of the entire foot and keeps the arch from collapsing inward. This subtle change helps support knees, the pelvic floor and even abdominal muscles.

Fields, dirt trails and beaches are ideal sites to start walking barefoot. Repeated skin-to-ground contact also coincides with grounding, or earthing, a therapy that connects a being with Earth’s electrical field. The concept is that this allows negatively charged free electrons to enter and eliminate free radicals, the positively

The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art. ~ Leonardo da Vinci charged particles that may cause diseases and inflammation.

When we’re in shoes, “We’re separated [from the Earth] by an inch of rubber, which is a fantastic resistor to electricity,” the coauthors point out.

Because barefoot walking stimulates foot nerve endings, it’s also a form of self-reflexology, helping to lower blood pressure and anxiety while bolstering the immune system.

For all these reasons, enthusiasts conjecture that it’s wise to follow in the natural footsteps of healers past and present that have chosen to walk this way.

Sandler provides special tips on getting started for some specific groups: Children: “They haven’t had their feet weakened by wearing shoes for many years, so let them develop their own style.”

Pregnant women: Start with a tiger walk technique (land with the heel barely off the ground, focusing on grabbing traction with the toes) for as much stability and fullest contact with the ground as possible.

Seniors: Use a walk and roll technique (lift the forefoot up before gently landing heel first) to keep weight directly beneath the body’s center of gravity. “Some seniors are fearful of going barefoot; concerned their feet are soft and sensitive. But they find that it actually helps them regain balance, coordination and bodybrain connections.”

A key to expanding onto terrains like gravel and pavement while avoiding injury is to build up stronger plantar skin on the bottom of the feet, because it is “600 percent stronger than skin elsewhere and can grow even thicker, up to half an inch, but only if you use it,” according to Sandler and Lee. “Going about barefoot stimulates additional skin growth (layering) and pushes the moisture out of the skin (strengthening), which together, thicken the soles of your feet.”

Other basic tips to avoid injury include: go slow, build foot strength, focus on form, learn to rest, inspect feet daily for potential nicks or scratches and see a physician if in doubt about anything.

“Once you’re aware of your surroundings and have toughened up your feet, you’ll avoid most sharp objects and be relatively shielded from the rest,” advise Sandler and Lee, who see the activity as a big step toward greater overall health awareness.

“You’ll learn more about your body… what’s right and what’s not, what’s working and what can be improved.”

The Fatherhood Factor

How Raising Children Changes Men

by Armin Brott

Changing Values

B

ecoming a father is one of the most defining benchmarks in a man’s life.

In their research, University of California-Berkeley Psychology Professors Phil Cowan, Ph.D., and Carolyn Cowan, Ph.D., found that when asked how important each aspect of life felt over a two-year study period, childless men surveyed showed a significant increase in the “partner/lover” aspect. But young fathers squeezed that facet into a smaller life space to accommodate the significant increase in the “parent” element.

Here are a few highlights from what relevant studies by Oregon State University, in Corvallis, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and Switzerland’s University of Zurich say about how fatherhood changes men.

Confidence and Pride

Having a close relationship with our child helps build mutual confidence and

44

Raising kids produces a heightened awareness of others’ perspectives, reports University of Delaware researcher Rob Palkovitz, Ph.D. Many guys admit that they were somewhat selfish and self-centered before having kids, because having people depend on you and putting their needs before yours doesn’t come naturally. (Palkovitz notes that marriage alone doesn’t trigger this realization.)

self-esteem. Turning a child’s tears into laughter and feeling proud when he does well confirms that we’re on our way to being a successful father. Albeit briefly, a child may even share our tastes in culture, entertainment and other areas before mapping his own individuality, but some common attitudes and interests will remain.

Patience and Humor

When something goes wrong, we can take it seriously and try to change things, or roll with it and laugh. Doing the latter can increase compassion for our own and others’ mistakes.

Flexible Thinking

Early on, it may be nearly impossible to differentiate the needs of our child and partner from our own. In reality, needs are to varying degrees in opposition, thus imposing frustrations and sorrows and forcing mutual adaptation, according to the Group for the Advancement of Psychi-

Becoming a father prompts a hard look at one’s fundamental beliefs and values. Our view of what seemed harmless when we were younger, like not caring about money or possessions and potentially harmful lifestyle choices, changes completely when there’s a family to support. We see the world differently. Our health and well-being are no longer just personal concerns; they’re integral to our family.

Interestingly, more mature new fathers—having had more time to hone their philosophy of life—report less of a need for fresh soul-searching than younger fathers.

DEEPEST ACCEPTANCE, RADICAL AWAKENING IN ORDINARY LIFE

By Jeff Foster

J

eff Foster is among the new group of authors talking about the awakening experience. One can also possibly describe it as enlightenment, oneness, or non-duality. As all of the teachers, as well as all the ancient masters and great poets, well tell you it is something that can only be alluded to, not put into a concise language. This is because it is not an ‘experience’ in the traditional sense of the word. There is no separate self having an experience as this would imply that the experience is somehow different than the self.

Part of the confusion in trying to understand what these authors, like Adyashanti and Eckhart Tolle, are conveying is that the mind doesn’t actually awaken. Who you are ‘awakens’, as it were, from your mind. So the mind tries to understand an experience that it, itself, is never going to have.

Still the work of Jeff Foster, and others like him, is invaluable in that they help demystify the landscape of awakening.

freer than ever to help them take a look at what they perceive as imperfection.

You’re no longer coming from the root assumption that they are a broken thing that needs fixing. You see that they are already whole. And out of the depths of that realization, you point back to their inherent wholeness. Rooted in wholeness, you are free to fully engage with the dance of apparent separation.

When you’re no longer trying to fix life, perhaps you can be a great help to life.

When you’re no longer trying to fix other people, perhaps you can be a great blessing to them. Perhaps true healing happens when you get out of the way.

Perhaps that’s what life needs more than anything – people who no longer see problems, but who see the inseparability of themselves and the world and who fully engage with the world from that space of deep acceptance. Deep acceptance of things as they are and fearless engagement with life are one and the same, however paradoxical that sounds to the rational mind.

Here are a few excerpts from The Deepest Acceptance Awakening is not the end of engagement with life - it is just the beginning. Paradoxically, when we realize how perfect life is, how everything happens exactly as it should, we are freer than ever to go out into the world and change things for the better. In seeing how perfect somebody is, exactly as they are, you are

Take a moment now to gently turn your attention to what it actually feels like to be you. By “you” I don’t mean the thoughts and judgments about yourself that come and go or the sensations and emotions that arise and fall throughout the day. …I am pointing to something that comes before all that. I am pointing to the sense of just being you, simply you, here and now, a sense that has been

here since you were a child. It is a very subtle but very alive feeling of presence that has never gone a way, no matter what you’ve achieved, no matter what you’ve lost, no matter how many spiritual insights or experiences you’ve had. I am not talking about “you” as a special state or experience. I am not talking about a higher self, or an awakened self … but the simple and very ordinary feeling of being you, in this moment. You don’t even have to understand what I’m talking about in order to know this basic sense of me-ness. Whether or not you think you understand, and even if you feel confused and frustrated, there is still the simple feeling of being you. I’m really pointing to something very, very, simple indeed – too simple for the mind to comprehend. You are already completely you, no matter what happens. This simple recognition is at the heart of what this book is all about.

BILBERRY

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

B

ilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a short, perennial shrub that grows in the northern USA, Europe and Asia. Its fruit, the bilberry, is a dark blue berry. Although the leaves do have some pharmacological properties, the bilberries themselves are what are used and studied. Bilberries have been eaten as food and used as medicine for centuries.

There are several chemicals extracted from bilberries, but the two main biochemicals in bilberries are: flavonoids and anthocyanoides. Bilberries have astringent, tonic, antioxidant, and antiseptic properties. I will list and discuss some of its uses.

Diabetes mellitus: this has a long history as a folk remedy for diabetes. It reduces hyperglycemia in normal and diabetic people. It has improved the vision of people with diabetic retinopathy.

Night vision: this aspect of bilberry has probably been studied

Astringent: bilberry has been used for centuries to treat diar-

the most, with probably several hundred research papers written on it. The results are mixed, however, with some researchers concluding that it was no better than placebo, while others showed significant improvements. On a positive note, anyways, bilberry seems to improve night vision, night visual acuity, quicker adjustment to darkness and faster restoration of visual acuity after exposure to glare. Bilberry anthocyanoides seem to have an affinity for the pigmented epithelium of the retina, which may explain why people with pigmentary retinitis had good results with it.

Myopia, glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal degeneration:

bilberry research has shown positive results for all of these conditions.

Antineoplastic effects: bilberry biochemicals exhibit potential anti-cancer properties in vitro (in the lab, not yet seen in people).

Antioxidant effects: it is a potent antioxidant. It has been used to treat scurvy.

Wound healing: bilberry relaxes smooth muscle (inside blood

vessels), inhibits histamine-induced capillary hyperpermeability (blood vessels don’t leak), protects capillary fragility, and has antiplatelet activity (decreasing blood clots). It has been found to help in problems with: capillary fragility, bruises or purpuras, venous insuffiency, and varicose veins.

48

Palm Beach Edition

Dysmenorrhea: women taking 320 mg/day of bilberry anthocyanins for 3 days before menstruation reported reduced nausea, vomiting and breast tenderness.

Inflammatory joint disease: bilberry has been shown to help people with rheumatoid arthritis and gout.

rhea and dysentery.

Contraindications: Bilberry is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Adverse effects: irritation of the skin, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.

Drug interactions: increased risk of bleeding when taken with: anticoagulants, antiplatelet and thrombolytic agents, and low molecular weight heparins.

Dosage: bilberry extracts are mostly found in tablets or capsules.

• Anthocyanosides: 20-40 mg three times /day • Vaccinium myrtillus (25% extract): 80-160 mg 3 times /day • Fresh berries: 55-115 g three times /day.

LIFE COACH

MASSAGE PATRICIA BIGLER

MICHELE LANDERS & ASSOCIATES

Try combining your massage with the specialized energy skills of a certified Yuen Method Mastery Practitioner to experience results, relief and improvement from pain, stress, anxiety, etc. on the spot. Each session deletes weakening energetic effects, then strengthens the energetic dynamics uniquely resonating from an individual’s body, mind and/or spirit. Working three years as a medical massage therapist provided me the opportunity to serve hundreds of clients with acute to chronic conditions. Many experienced instant relief.

What would you like to improve?

What Do YOU Really Want in Your Life? Confused about what you want? Unemployed - in transition- facing layoff? Do you want to experience a more meaningful life?

Whether you're stuck in a rut, fearful of the economic situation, going through a transition or just trying to figure out what you want Michele Landers will help you to discover your talents and what you truly want and assist you in getting past the illusion of fear and confusion.

Coaching is a valuable process that can produce dramatic results in a short period of time.
