born into women empowerment due to my personal upbringing. It was almost innate in me. Losing my mother at a young age made me a very independent woman, to a fault on many occasions, but that was my life. Bathing is self-care and learning to love myself is absolutely key to my survival in my later years. Survival was key in my younger years, so I thought. Then along comes wisdom. The aha moments come to us at all ages. We experience, evolve and grow into these strong, loving, capable women.

We’ve swung the pendulum way to the right and like everything, it will probably

have to swing a little left to get it on target. It’s why I feel a woman would make for a perfect president. By the way, I love men, too. I have many male friends that I adore— and sometimes even prefer at times.

olleen Patrice, M.A. Spiritual Psychology and author of Lighten Your Toxic Load (2014), has dedicated her life to the Healing Arts. Ironically, after publishing her book, Patrice was feeling chronically unwell and tired. She suffered from aches and pains, numbness and tingling, candida, depression and insomnia. The root cause turned out to be toxic levels of mercury. As prescribed, she used her doctor’s in-office Infrared (IR) Sauna to sweat out the heavy metals. After about six months of consistent sessions, Patrice’s mercury levels dropped to virtually nil. “Sweating is indeed one of our greatest allies,” affirms Patrice. “The IR Sauna is specifically designed to gently but deeply heat our body’s core to induce a highly efficient method of sweating. As such, the IR Sauna is revealing numerous holistic health benefits—from heart health to brain health and everything in between. “The benefits ultimately come down to releasing toxins, which are a definitive source of many health epidemics we currently face.” After extensive research, Patrice recently opened Luminthera—a small, local, independent dealer of the highest quality Infrared Sauna on the market. “Consistent use of a high-quality Infrared Sauna is perhaps the best tool we have to stay healthy and happy in an increasingly toxic world,” she says. “I’m here to help educate, provide heartcentered service, and be a resource for both individuals and businesses in San Diego County.”

Mullen Physical Therapy Opens in Carlsbad

arlsbad resident Diane Mullen is excited to announce the launch of Mullen Physical Therapy. Her practice, which focuses on preventative care services, will cater to clients both online and in person in Carlsbad. Mullen shares that she started her business to help teach others how to prevent injury. “Traditional physical therapy has focused on post-injury or post-surgical services. It’s my mission to try to get information and guidance to clients to help prevent common pain and injury scenarios from happening in the first place,” says this practitioner who offers one-on-one in person sessions in Carlsbad, small group sessions, or individual one-on-one services online for California and Washington residents. Mullen has been a physical therapist since 2000, working in traditional physical therapy clinics and treating orthopedic conditions of all types. “After treating so many conditions that are highly preventable, I’m now devoted to trying to help people avoid as much pain and injury as possible to enjoy their favorite life activities as long as possible,” she says. Mullen left the traditional physical therapy setting and ventured out on her own to offer these services in comfortable settings, including homes, beaches and parks in Carlsbad, as well as online. “Many common injuries are a result of either poor exercise form, poor body mechanics, or a lack of the correct stretching/strengthening program to counter repetitive activities. My hope is to take on pain and injury on the flip-side and reduce the chances of it happening for as many people as possible.” For more information, visit MullenPhysicalTherapy.business.site.

According to the National The San Diego-based motivational Alliance on Mental Illness, one in eight speaker views self-care to be as vital as women experience depression during education. “Women are not taught in their lifetime—twice the rate of men. high school and college how to take care of themselves.

Self-Care As Bedrock

Women play vital roles in family and community, much like the foundation of a sound building, and if self-care is not the bedrock, all that is supported by it is likely to be compromised. “I believe we’ve taken the bait, the promise that if we arrange our life circumstances just so, we’ll feel ease and happiness. We’re getting to a place as a collective where we see a bankruptcy in that,” says Miami-based holistic women’s psychiatrist Dr. Kelly Brogan, bestselling author of A Mind of Your Own: The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives. Body-mind-spirit self-care is the heart of Brogan’s approach, and self-love is the lifeblood. “Self-love is quite elusive for most of us, perhaps because our self-esteem is contingent [upon it], and we only feel good about ourselves under certain circumstances. The daily choice to prioritize caring for oneself can ultimately lead to an experience of self-love and wholeness,” says Brogan, who compares a ritualized system of daily self-care that comes first to putting on the proverbial oxygen mask before attempting to meet the needs of others. “Balancing self-love and caring for others starts with recognizing and accepting that it’s possible for you to effectively do both. Self-love at the soul

motherhood and career often get lost in the tangled underbrush of daily logistics. There can be a deep longing for identity well into the 50s, especially when children leave the nest. Fears of aging and loneliness often accompany women 60 and older. By passionately and joyously taking care of body and spirit, women of any generation can find renewal.

level is the catalyst for healing on all levels, which in turn drives our level of self-worth,” concurs Teigan Draig, a spiritual life coach and busy homeschooling mom in Spencerville, Ohio. She reminds us that putting our needs above the wants of others is not being selfish, but is an emotional necessity that helps women get out of the loop of selfdefeatism and self-sabotage. “The first step to finding your fire is learning to love yourself, all of yourself. Self-care and selflove are a total wellness package.”

Benefits of Self-Nourishment

Many psychologists agree that self-care can help to improve concentration, promote relaxation, fortify relationships and boost productivity. Most women crave more me-time, but don’t know how to implement change. “Without a premise of self-care, we react based on stress patterns. We react with more tension, irritability, guilt and obligation. We say, ‘Yes’ when we want to say, ‘No’. However, when we take stock in our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, we’re less reactive,” observes Hassler, who underscores self-care as an investment for life. “Most women have inner critics and a negative relationship with self. Self-care is essential so we can turn down the volume of the inner critic, stop people-pleasing and make self-honoring choices.” Balancing motherhood and career or other obligations can leave many women running on empty and resentful. “We would never tell a loved one who desperately needed some TLC to get over it and just keep going. As busy women, when we don’t take the time to care for ourselves, the consequence is our children getting a mom who is preoccupied, anxious and disconnected,” says women’s life coach Veronica Paris, in San Diego. Catering to everyone’s desires and spreading ourselves too thin can backfire. Paris asks, “How do I want my kids to look back on me as a mother? By taking the time to self-care, we’re taking accountability for how we want to show up in our world rather than shape-shifting from one situation to the

next. We can teach our children how to do the same.”

Our Emotions As Wellspring

For too many women, another common byproduct of self-neglect can be emotional numbing and feeling “flatlined”. A toxic or addictive relationship to food, alcohol or shopping can be a symptom of a deep need to nourish the self and give a voice to suppressed feelings. “One of our greatest challenges is that we’ve become disconnected from our deep seat of power, which is our capacity to feel,” says Brogan. “We’ve been enculturated to disregard our experience of feeling emotions, and because of this, it’s been reduced to a very narrow bandwidth.” Brogan believes that it is key for women to reestablish a connection to nature’s rhythms and their own feminine, fluid energy, as well as giving up the need to control. “I think it’s the work of many women to understand that we’re not here to meet the needs of everyone on the planet—and with our loved ones, it disempowers them as much as we’re feeling disempowered. We’re here to meet our own needs and then offer compassion and caring in a way that comes from a more boundaried space.” Hassler affirms that when women are fully present, every aspect of life can be viewed through a clearer lens. “Selfcare helps us tap into our super power, which is our intuition, and by doing that, we know what we need and act on that.”

~Dr. Kelly Brogan a healthier breakfast. Feeding our senses and feasting on what gives us joy can be a way of life. “Self-care does not necessarily have to involve time; it’s a way of being,” says Hassler. “The more time we spend on self-care tells the subconscious mind that we’re worth it.” Draig suggests setting personal boundaries, and part of this means reserving time for ourselves. “When I became a new mother, I was running on fumes. Sometimes my daily me-time was only five minutes here or 10 minutes there, but it saved my sanity. Learn to schedule self-care time in your calendar as you would anything else,” she says, noting, “My house was not always spotless, but it was a trade I was willing to make so I could take care of myself and be a better mother.” Being innovative can be an ally. “Ten minutes walking the dog or taking the baby out in a stroller can become 10 minutes spent saying positive selfaffirmations,” suggests Paris. “That 15-minute drive can be spent deep breathing instead of listening to the news on the radio.” Blooming into our best possible self is returning to our essence. “It’s about taking off the masks, no longer living according to expectations and other people. It’s about radical self-acceptance,” says Hassler. Each decade poses an invitation to grow and commit to self-nourishment. “There will be days where you feel like you can’t get the hang of it, but you’ll arrive, and when you do, no matter what age you are, it can be magical,” Draig says.

Title of the story: The Story of Greed Conflicts between themselves: The lack of compromise from the wolf. Little Red Riding Hood compromised too much. Conflicts between them and the world: There is greed all around them. Everyone wants more. More Money- More FoodMore Elaborate material possessions. Greed stomps out the good in their heart. What changes should they make to resolve conflicts? Be happy for what you have in life, not what you want.

Creativity for Self-Discovery Generates as an Inner Dialogue Which Leads to Insights and Emotional Growth by Dr. Albert Levis

Read what Red found out about herself talking to the Wolf Draw two fairy tale characters. Character#1: Little Red Riding Hood Age: 18 Sex: Female Personality: Shy, scared, negative. Character#2: Big Bad Wolf. Age: 39 Sex: Female Personality: Fierce, brave, smart. What are they saying? #2 – Give me your basket! #1 – No- It’s for my sick friend. #2 – What’s in the basket? #1 – Chicken, biscuits and apple pie. #2 – I like it. Now give it to me! #1 – No! It’s to make my friend feel better.

#2 – I don’t care about your friend. I am hungry. Give it to me! #1 – Please go away. #2 – Not until you give me that basket. #1 – How about I give you a ¼ of what’s in my basket? #2 – No, I want half! Or all. #1 – Ok, Ok, Ok, here is half. #2 – Good! Before? #2 was hiding in the bushes waiting. #1 was taking a shortcut to her friend’s house to feed her sick friend. After? #2 Grabbed the basket and ran to a nearby hole and ate everything in the basket. #1 was shocked at first, then, she became sad. She continued on the path crying all the way.

Which character do you identify with: Both. I have greed in my mind like the wolf and compromise in my heart like little Red Riding Hood. How does this pertain to you? I am greedy when it comes to love and sex. I compromise everything for everyone. What changes should you make? Grow a "mean" bone in my body and stop pleasing everyone and start being greedy toward myself. Present a similar incident: My mom + husband always want more time with me. I give them all my time. I never take time for myself. When I ask for time for myself, I have to compromise for it—give them what they want so I can get what I want—Time! How do you relate with others, and how do you get yourself in trouble? I am always looking to be loved without having to compromise for it. I also want to feel respected and appreciated without guilt. What changes are you willing to make? Stand up! Just say, “Enough is enough!” “Get your own damn pills!” “Wash your own damn dishes!” Albert Levis, M.D., is the co-founder of the Museum of the Creative Process.

HEALING YOUR HEART Rewrite Your Story with Awareness and Intention

ealing Your Heart: Rewrite Your Story with Awareness and Intention author, Tris Thorp asserts that the past does not have to determine your present— if we choose to heal it. “As human beings, we’re born with a complex mental and emotional system, and we’re not necessarily taught how to use that system to create the lives we desire,” she says. As a result, many of us feel stuck in the pain of the past and the uncertainty of how to move forward. Not knowing how to process our negative emotions, they fester, poisoning our current relationships and experiences. Our emotions create color and texture. “What kind of life would it be if we didn’t experience love, joy, awe and excitement? Even our negative feelings are important to guide us, help us survive, even give us the added push we need to stretch beyond ourselves.” When we don’t know how to handle what’s going on in our lives, our emotions can sabotage our

efforts, destroy our relationships and drive us to make poor choices. “I’ve experienced firsthand what it’s liked to be plagued by past wounds,” shares Thorp. “My journey to healing has not always been easy. And because of the healing work I’m sharing with you in this book, today I experience the peace, love, happiness and success I once thought was impossible for me.” In Healing Your Heart, Thorp uses her personal experience and expertise as well as stepby-step exercises to show readers how to: • make peace with the past and turn painful experiences into empowering ones • deal with difficult emotions in the present and express yourself authentically • relate to yourself and others with compassion and acceptance • create new life strategies that support

your growth and unlock your potential • allow more joy, love, expansion and happiness into your life “In the pages of this book I’ll guide you on the path I took to heal myself, to heal my relationships with the people I love and to ultimately step into the person I am today,” affirms Thorp. “It’s my hope this book encourages you to find the clarity, the compassion, the strength and the fortitude within yourself to go the distance on your own path—and to truly heal your heart.” Thorp has been trained by and has shared the stage with Deepak Chopra, facilitating courses on emotional healing, meditation and higher states of consciousness. Having apprenticed under the Chopra Center’s co-founder, Dr. David Simon, Thorp co-facilitated the Emotional Freedom and Healing the Heart programs alongside her mentor. Prior to his passing in 2012, Dr. Simon appointment Thorp to carry on his teachings in the field of emotional healing. Thorp also trained with the late Debbie Ford specializing in Shadow work and has earned her Vedic Mastery certification from Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon at the Chopra Center. Today, Thorp coaches clients in a oneon-one setting and teaches live programs with the Empowerment Partnership as a Master Trainer of Mental and Emotional Release .

Can Cannabis Help Me and My Friends?

ankind Dispensary’s Community Outreach Director, Cathy Bliss, wants to help everyone in our community answer this question. “Please reach out to me,” she says. “If you are a member of a support group for MS, autism, pain, arthritis, etcetera, please email me an invitation and I will come and answer questions and explain some of the new terms like "terpenes" and THCa. What does it mean when the tincture bottle says 18:1 or 4:1 and how will this affect me?” The staff at Mankind Dispensary, a legally licensed dispensary in San Diego, believes that cannabis education is one of the most important aspects of their business. “We want everybody to be aware of the many ways that cannabis can help improve their lives,” affirms Bliss. “Invite a group of your cannabis curious friends together, whether you’re at a housing complex, a senior home or wherever, and we can have a good conversation on how cannabis might relieve your pain, help your mood, allow you to be able to exercise, and much more.” Bliss explains that many people she speaks to often share their concerns about the psychoactive effects of THC. “This topic comes up often. I am so excited when I can share that there are many CBD-only products, including a wide variety of topicals, that have no psychotropic effects and provide a great deal of relief. In the legal shops, like Mankind, every product is lab-tested so you know how much THC and CBD are in the product and that no pesticides, mold or harmful chemicals were found.” Mankind also enjoys supporting the community in other ways. “In fact, we just sponsored a team in a fundraiser for Therapeutic Recreational Services which helps people with disabilities. Let us know if you have any more ideas on how we can help you and our wonderful community,” adds Bliss. Mankind Coop is located at 7128 Miramar Rd., Ste. #10, in San Diego.

CBD FOR PETS What We Need to Know by Kajsa Nickels

ith the explosion of cannabidiol (CBD) products on the human medical scene, many pet owners are looking into this hemp plant derivative as a natural means of medicating their four-legged family members. A study conducted by the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, in Ithaca, New York, found that CBD can be effective in treating some of the same ailments in pets as it does in humans. “I’ve used CBD on dogs and cats suffering from arthritis, anxiety and seizures,” says Angie Krause, DVM, a veterinarian with Boulder Holistic Vet, in Colorado. “I’ve even used CBD to treat cats with chronic respiratory infections.” Unlike CBD from marijuana, which in most cases is a Schedule I narcotic that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration considers highly subject to abuse, CBD from industrial hemp contains less than 0.3 percent of the psychoactive component THC. It is legal under federal law and can be sold nationwide, subject to state regulations. However, choosing the right CBD product is complicated by the number of confusing options. “There are so many products on the shelves with different concentrations and formulations,” says Krause, who considers the extraction method used during production to be one of the most important factors.

She favors CO2 (carbon dioxide) extraction over solvent extraction methods: “CO2 leaves no residue behind that could harm the bodies of small animals such as dogs and cats.” Stephen Cital, a veterinary technician in San Jose, California, co-founded the Facebook group Veterinary Cannabis Academy. He agrees that the purity of the extraction method is significant. He also notes that price is not necessarily an indicator of quality. “A 30-cc bottle of CBD could cost $70 at a concentration of 700 milligrams [7 mg per cc]. However, it’s possible to find the same volume at the same price at a concentration of 1,000 milligrams [10 mg per cc].” Some products don’t contain CBD at all, only hemp extract, Cital explains. “For people who don’t understand the labeling, this can be very misleading.” CBD is one of 104 cannabinoids found in both industrial hemp and marijuana plants. Full-spectrum hemp extracts contain the entire profile of cannabinoids, including trace amounts of THC. Broadspectrum hemp extracts contain everything but the THC. Cital says it’s always best to start with full- or broad-spectrum products for the “entourage effect”, in which the

cannabinoids work in concert. Isolates of additional cannabinoids can be added as needed, he says. When choosing a product to purchase for a pet, he recommends going with companies that are able to present the consumer with a certificate of analysis by a third party. “The certificate will show the complete profile of the CBD product, including cannabinoid, terpene, residual solvent, pesticide, bacteria, mycotoxin, fungicidal and elemental profiles,” he says. Cital notes that the elemental profile is especially important. “Hemp is very good at absorbing what is in its environment, including heavy metals such as lead.” Krause favors CBD products with minimal ingredients that “should be as simple as possible,” she says. “No xylitol, no artificial colors or sweeteners.” Cindy Hesse, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, also believes that CBD for pets should be as pure as possible. Her Cocker Spaniel, Reina, is both blind and deaf. Because of her handicaps, Reina experienced extreme anxiety to the point of destroying her metal crate, furniture and door frames. Reina’s vet put her on the antidepressant and antianxiety drugs Prozac and trazadone, but these only helped for a short period. After attending a CBD conference in Florida, her veterinarian decided to see if the compound might help the dog— his first patient to use CBD. The results, Hesse says, were amazing. “Within three days, it was like I had a new dog. She no longer destroys things, she is calm, she is more engaged with her environment. I recommend CBD oil to everyone I know who has a pet with health issues.” When deciding whether to give CBD to a pet, Krause and Cital recommend working with a veterinarian to ensure the proper dosage. “People can certainly work with CBD on their own with their pets,” says Krause, “but it’s important to get the dosing and concentration right to make it worthwhile.” Kajsa Nickels is a freelance writer and a music composer.

PUBLISHER'S PICK

CBD Blend Made Just for Pets

ollowing the discovery of the Endocannabinoid System in the 1990s, biological science opened into a whole new world, and the understanding of how cannabinoids affect health has been one of the most intriguing areas of discovery. Irie’s co-founder and clean health expert Rick Potts was on the leading edge of this movement. He felt that applying the same natural health philosophy to animals just made sense. “We share so many similarities with our furry friends, and the endocannabinoid system is a big one. Cats and dogs need sufficient cannabinoids to maintain homeostasis and health, too,” says Potts. The unique blends he created to start the company’s line of tinctures naturally included a Pet blend. The full spectrum hemp extract that provides all the cannabinoids, terpenes and fatty acids is mixed with Alaskan sourced cod liver oil, which is one of the most recommended general health supplements by veterinarians and Astaxanthin, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. “Astaxanthin is a great supplement for animals,” Potts explains, citing multiple studies pointing toward healthy aging, joint and coat support. “And, it comes from algae. We are all about the plant medicine at Irie.” A lot of the calming, balancing and general immune support that makes Irie’s blends for humans so popular are equally effective in the Pet formulation, which many have found to be hugely beneficial for animals suffering from nervousness or rescue animals still dealing with a traumatic past. “We receive so much joy, love and health benefits from having animals in our lives and making sure they are properly cared for is the least we can do,” says Irie’s Operations Manager Emily Laue. It is this dedication to purity and quality that has guided the creation of Irie’s hemp products for pets since the beginning, she says, adding, “it really is about working with their body’s natural systems for health instead of using traditional pills to mask underlying health problems.” For more information on IrieCBD pet products, visit Iriecbd.com.

CBD for You and for Me C

BD, CBD, CBD! Everywhere you turn CBD is the hottest new buzzword—and for good reason. While our San Diego edition has been publishing articles on cannabis and CBD for quite some time, Natural Awakenings on a national level is now following suit. Many more publishers are creating plant medicine sections in their publications and spreading the news about the many benefits of this amazing plant. I am bold, ridden with an entrepreneurial nature, live in San Diego and consume, represent and consult for CBD products. The amount of people benefiting from the natural health rewards of this magical plant are staggering. People don’t have to stagger to feel good, and neither do pets. Our Natural Pet article articulates what I have witnessed and heard over and over—plant medicine helps pets' ailments improve, too. Pet relief means owners relief. Plain and simple. Actions speak louder than words. The pet results cannot be skewed. They are what they are. I have witnessed so many testimonies and real life experiences from dog owners administering pet tinctures. Dogs can now sleep and experience real relief from surgery and pain. Dogs with anxiety can now relax and so can their owners. Education is key to understanding how and when to use CBD for pets, and pet owners are fine to do it themselves. Dosing is important. When using organic plant medicine, it's just like getting used to any medicine—you must try it and get the dosage correct to achieve your best results. Dive into our national natural pet article this month and get some CBD for your pet! Do your homework, check out the ads and articles in this month’s issue and educate yourself on the wonderful variety of options available in our area. Whether you reach out to me via my contact information at the front of the magazine, or one of our many amazing advertisers, you’ll be in good hands when it comes to CBD education, products and services.
