hen we hear about interconnectedness these days, it’s usually within the framework of the Internet, where Americans spend an average of 3.2 hours a day on social networking sites, according to new research released by Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange. Amid all our friends, fans, likes, followers and a whole host of other buzzwords that seem to change almost daily, we must remind ourselves that there really is a profound difference between the virtual world and the real world. There are many advantages to forging connections online, but please remember that the fundamental value of any relationship value lies in one-on-one personal connection. While we typically think about these links in terms of loved ones, friends and family, they are almost as important in relationships with our community, our creator and Mother Earth. Isn’t it fulfilling to spend time in person with another human being that understands where you are coming from, and vice-versa?

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - World Health Organization

That’s why we are so excited to bring you this 2014 Arizona Conscious Living Resource Guide, a cooperative effort of Natural Awakenings editions in Phoenix and Tucson. We joined forces to create a powerful forum via which we may all connect with Arizona’s leaders in health and wellness, green living, sustainability, nutrition, fitness and personal growth. It is our sincere hope that this Resource Guide helps you identify and create new relationships as part of your own spiritual journey and path to wellness. We realize that readers have an ever-growing landscape of options by which they can access information. That is why you’ll find Natural Awakenings wherever you go, in every format—online, email, mobile applications, social networking, at local events and yes, we are proudly still publishing in print! Rest assured that as new platforms evolve, we will meet the challenge and bring our special brand of enlightened wisdom there, too.

Holly Baker

Advertorial

RN Patient Advocacy… your health care safety net. Feeling lost in the medical system – like you are just a number? Angry or confused because no one seems to be listening? Doing everything the doctors tell you and still not getting better? Facing a serious diagnosis and wondering what all of your treatment options are? There is a new approach: independent RN Patient Advocacy. An RN Patient Advocate (iRNPA) is a clinical nurse specially prepared to protect and guide you in the fragmented medical system. iRNPAs are graduates of the RN Patient Advocate Learning Intensive, co-sponsored by the University of Arizona College of Nursing. WHY ask for an RN Patient Advocate’s help? According to the recent study published in The Journal of Patient Safety by Dr. John T. James, medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the US. This is a problem of the medical system itself and does not mean that doctors and nurses have become substandard. The system itself is broken. To achieve the best results in your care, it is very helpful to have a professional, knowledgeable iRNPA by your side. This pattern of medical errors is the reason RN Patient Advocacy was begun 11 years ago. iRNPAs are now in 23 states. Consider Georgina, a 60 year old woman diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer who was told that there was nothing further to help her. Working closely with an RN Patient Advocate who guided her to physicians with new approaches, she is now reversing her illness! Mr. Lewis was told he needed a defibrillator implanted. Working closely with his iRNPA who researched differing approaches and consulted with his physician about them, he was able to avoid the surgery and improve his heart function. Lillian is 87 years old with several chronic conditions. Her children all live in different states. Her iRNPA is able to accompany her to doctor appointments, ask the right questions, and keep her family updated on her condition. Watchful eyes when family cannot be there. What does an iRNPA do for you? • iRNPAs advocate on your behalf with your doctors and hospitals, asking those questions you do not know how to ask – this helps to prevent medical errors. • iRNPAs teach you what is happening with your condition, what other therapeutic options might be helpful to you. • iRNPAs connect the dots – ensuring that every physician knows what every other one is doing – this flow of communication is vital. Faulty communication causes medical errors. • iRNPAs analyze all of your medical records to create the 10

Natural Awakenings

MEDiKEY ™, a chronology of your whole history. This is also very helpful connecting those dots between physicians, should you go to the ER or when you travel. When you need medical attention, the MEDiKEY ensures that the physicians have all the critical data. Your risk of medical error is greatly reduced. • iRNPAs help to ensure an accurate diagnosis – making sure that all necessary tests are ordered and not unnecessarily repeated. • iRNPAs research all of your treatment options, teaching you and your family, ensuring that you consult with the most appropriate doctors, so you make the best choice for your health. • iRNPAs can spend 2-3 hours with you uncovering potential problems with your medications – interactions with other meds, with foods, with supplements. This ensures that your medication is helpful – not harmful. • iRNPAs teach you about all the wonderful medical research that might benefit you. A new field of medicine is emerging globally – devoted to the treatment and reversing of chronic and autoimmune illness: the Functional Medicine Chronic Care Model. It is already practiced by thousands of physicians in the US and is the standard of care in Europe. It varies from the traditional western medical model in that it treats causes, not conditions! Rather than just alleviating symptoms, physicians practicing this new model ask “Why?” Why do you have cancer, why do you have depression, why do you have heart disease… The answers lie in discovering the underlying causes of illness. It is possible to reverse much chronic illness! iRNPAs teach you about this and how it might benefit you. They guide you to physicians who can teach you more and treat your chronic illness with a goal of healing, not just managing. If you have questions and are looking for new answers in your health care, seeking professional and knowledgeable guidance, call one of our iRNPAs and learn what is possible for you. We are your health care safety net! Karen Mercereau , RN, iRNPA is a nationally recognized visionary leader in healthcare, known for her ability to transcend challenges, and create opportunity from complexity. This was the quality behind her founding of RN Patient Advocates in 2002. She brings 45 years of clinical nursing, community and home based healthcare delivery and patient advocacy to the development of the RN Patient Advocates Group Practice here in Tucson.

Acupressure: Based on the same system as acupuncture, but fingers and hands are used, instead of stimulation with needles, in order to restore the balanced flow of the body’s life energy (qi or chi, pronounced “chee”). This force moves through the body along 12 energy pathways, or meridians, which practitioners unblock and strengthen. Common styles of acupressure include Jin Shin, which gently holds at least two points at once for a minute or more, and Shiatsu, which applies firm pressure to each point for three to five seconds.

Acupuncture: An ancient Oriental technique that stimulates the body’s ability to sustain and balance itself, based on the theory that an electromagnetic life-force (qi or chi, pronounced “chee”) is channeled in a continuous flow throughout the body via a network of ‘meridians.’ Disease is understood as an imbalance in the meridian system. Diagnosis of an imbalance is made by “reading” the pulse, face, tongue and body energy. To correct it, a practitioner inserts acupuncture needles at specific points along the meridians to stimulate or disperse the flow of life-force. Acupuncture principles include the yin and yang polarities and the associations of the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood with bodily organs.

No More Allergy Shots with Sublingual Immunotherapy by Jonathan Psenka, NMD

Jonathan Psenka

ome people have year-round allergies, often due to being exposed to an allergic substance more frequently. Allergies are a common health concern in Arizona. Each spring and fall, more and more people seem to be suffering from sneezing, itchy eyes, and blocked sinuses that result from seasonal allergies. Pets such as dogs and cats are common causes of year-round allergies, as are molds and even some types of insects. Having allergies also can exacerbate other health conditions, such as asthma, which can severely affect someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Finding an effective treatment can drastically improve an allergy suffererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The treatment of allergies generally consists of using antihistamine medications. Another option for allergy treatment is immunotherapy. Immunotherapy works by re-training the allergy suffererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system to stop producing histamine when the body encounters an allergic substance. Simply put, immunotherapy trains the body to no longer be allergic. Immunotherapy is changing. Over the past 20 years, positive research has been published regarding sublingual (under the tongue) immunotherapy (SLIT) showing it is effective, safe and well tolerated by most people. Sublingual immunotherapy also works to train the immune system to stop being allergic, but does not require weekly shots. People using SLIT to treat their allergies simply spray a small amount of the allergen-containing serum under their tongue each day. This simple administration means that people can use this treatment at home, eliminating the need for weekly doctor visits. This no-shot approach to allergy treatment is also fantastic for children. Many people are pleasantly surprised to learn that SLIT is actually a form of natural medicine and does not contain any synthetic medications. Sublingual immunotherapy should always be administered under the care of a properly trained physician and be individualized, as well, meaning that the SLIT formulations are prepared specifically for the person being treated. Onesize-fits-all SLIT formulations should be avoided, as there have been concerns raised about such products. Dr. Psenka works with integrative cancer therapies, IV therapy, allergies, ozone, UVBI, diet and exercise education for the treatment and prevention of disease.

Navigating Infertility NATURALLY

by Britt Deegan, NMD and Michael Uzick, NMD

nfertility affects as many as 17 percent of American couples trying to get pregnant, but only a small percentage of couples with infertility consider alternative approaches before embarking on the arduous journey to start a family. Conventional infertility clinics aggressively target an array of potential issues using surgical treatments that handle eggs and sperm, drug and hormone therapies and artificial insemination. These treatment regimens are invasive and prohibitively expensive for many couples. The experience can cause immense emotional stress that works against fertility gains made through such interventions. Given these drawbacks of conventional treatment, couples with infertility should prioritize naturopathic medicine as holistic, economical and effective healthcare for having a baby. Conventional medicine approaches do not meaningfully consider dietary, environmental and psychosocial factors. As a result, this approach cannot explain up to 30 percent of infertility cases. The treatment process is very expensive. Infertile couples spend $25,000 on average for in-vitro fertilization, with no guarantee of a successful pregnancy. Couples almost always absorb these steep prices, because private healthcare companies usually deny coverage related to infertility. The state of Arizona does not mandate healthcare coverage for infertility.

In 2011, 20 percent of couples within the western United States withdrew from fertility care due to stress associated with conventional treatment. Naturopathic medicine works to avoid these financial and emotional burdens by offering comprehensive fertility investigations and affordable, evidence-based treatments. Naturopathic fertility exams extend beyond conventional care to explore other possible reasons of infertility. Conventional approaches often miss health issues that belie successful reproduction. Even low levels of exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins can affect one’s health and increase risk for infertility. Other factors include one’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, genetic dispositions and a gamut of lifestyle choices. In addressing these easily overlooked issues, naturopathic medicine always focuses on total body health, rather than just the reproductive system. A naturopathic fertility expert always seeks to optimize parental health prior to conception. To prepare men’s and women’s bodies for a successful pregnancy, preconception care integrates medical science with evidence-based natural approaches. Under naturopathic care, couples benefit from state-of-the-art diagnostics and laboratory analyses that form the foundation of a customized treatment plan, which may inFANTASIA

clude herbal medicine, detoxification, weight loss, nutritional counseling, stress management, acupuncture and chiropractic care. While naturopathic doctors can help overcome infertility using advanced holistic care, there are basic therapies that all couples should implement for enhanced fertility: Take a daily antioxidant. As we age, our environment exposes us to free radicals that damage the mitochondria in eggs and sperm, a process called oxidative stress. Scientific evidence is clear that oxidative stress reduces fertility and that a daily antioxidant dose of vitamins A, C, E and zinc boosts fertility. Food as fertility medicine. Beneficial fertility foods are rich in B vitamins and antioxidants, and also contain healthy fatty acids. Fertility research has shown a prudent diet high in vegetable oil, fish and legumes, like the Mediterranean Diet, substantially increases chances of pregnancy and the success of in-vitro fertilization by 40 percent. Exercise consistently. Exercising is important to maintain a healthy body weight and metabolism. Inactivity and obesity in men and women is associated with conception problems, increased miscarriages and higher rates of fetal and childbirth complications. Avoid toxins, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. Research on chemical exposure has shown that environmental and household toxins are harmful to testes and ovaries and negatively affect fetal development. Couples that are trying to conceive must abstain from anything that would cause harm

to the fetus and women should treat their bodies as if they are already pregnant. Stress less. The impact of chronic stress on health is pervasive and pernicious. A 2009 fertility study reported that there is a 10 percent decrease in a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of pregnancy for every life stressor, such as relationship conflict or financial worry. Additionally, a 2005 study reported that women had reduced chances of successful in-vitro fertilization when their infertility caused relationship conflicts or strained sexual relationships. Taking these steps with enthusiasm and persistence can greatly improve fertility, and a naturopathic fertility expert can expand treatments through a comprehensive natural fertility program. This approach allows room for the exploration of all causes of infertility and is a unique opportunity to use natural, yet scientifically backed therapies for an affordable price with as little stress as possible. Whether planning early or having trouble conceiving now, a naturopathic fertility program is a great option to help couples have a healthy, happy baby. Dr. Britt Deegan and Dr. Michael Uzick are naturopathic fertility experts at Genesis Natural Medicine Center, currently offering a natural fertility program for couples planning Dr. Britt a family.

BodyTalk: Developed by chiropractor/ acupuncturist Dr. John Veltheim, BodyTalk is based upon bio-energetic psychology, dynamic systems theory, Chinese medicine and applied kinesiology. By integrating a series of tapping, breathing and focusing techniques, BodyTalk helps the body synchronize and balance its systems and strengthens the body’s innate knowledge of self-repair. BodyTalk is used to address a range of health challenges, including fibromyalgia, infections, parasites, chronic fatigue, allergies, addictions and cellular damage. Practitioners are usually licensed massage therapists (LMT) or bodyworkers. Bodywork: Massage and the physical practices of yoga are perhaps the bestknown types of bodywork; both have proven successful in relieving tension and stress, promoting blood flow, loosening stiff muscles and stimulating the organs. Massage therapies encompass countless techniques, including Swedish massage, shiatsu and Rolfing. The same is true for yoga. Other types of bodywork include martial arts practices like aikido, ki aikido and Tai chi chuan. Some others are the Alexander technique, Aston patterning, Bowen, Breema bodywork, Feldenkrais method, Hellerwork, polarity therapy, Rosen method, Rubenfeld synergy and Trager. Finding bodywork that improves mental and physical health is a highly individual process. Several types may be combined for the greatest benefit.

Resonant Sound Therapy Second Edition Includes Important Updates

he second edition of The Edge and Beyond; A Journey for Personal SelfDiscovery, Awakening and Healing, by Dr. Lance Morris, owner of Wholistic Family Medicine, in Tucson, is now available at his office. It is now clearer, with better definitions, more details, definitive linkages and more than 50 pages of additional information. Morris links the relationship of vocal, tonal sound as a medium that modulates vibrational frequency, inducing harmonic resonance to actualize both healing and enlightenment. Resonant Sound Therapy (RST) is a Dr. Lance Morris vocal sound, hands-on energy healing therapy developed by Morris to unwind fascial twisting and unblock qi, or life force, which induces an equilibrium state allowing healing and optimal function of mind, body and spirit. RST is not only a tool of healing, but expanding consciousness on a personal experiential level. Qi flows through the body, embedded in fascia, as a double helix resembling DNA. One half of the helix is a counter-clockwise spiral flowing from the outside, in. This is In-Flow. The other half of the helix is a clockwise spiral flowing from the inside, out. This is Out-Flow. Balanced In-Flow and Out-Flow of qi is the key to well-being and awakening consciousness. Fascia is the connective tissue membrane surrounding every part of the body as a multilayered sac being torqued from physical injuries, negative emotional charges or mental projection judgments that blocks qi, inducing symptoms and diseases. The relationship between sound, fascia, healing and consciousness is established. This leads to a remarkable series of connections that explain and reconcile quantum physics, relativity, string theory, black holes, singularities and the Big Bang. This reconciliation is not an obscure intellectual abstraction, but practical and useful in our everyday life to bring more health, contentment, awareness and joy. Location: 1601 N.

Experience Healing with Natural Dead Sea Salt

he Salt Chalet Arizona, in Scottsdale, is available for people in the Valley of the Sun and across the state with respiratory ailments and high rates of asthma that are exacerbated by smoggy air, dust and high pollen counts as a popular alternative to treatment with drugs. The National Psoriasis Foundation recommends Dead Sea salt, and research has found that its high Pavel concentration of magnesium is instrumental in improving skin Gershkovich hydration and reducing inflammation. Owner Pavel Gershkovich says, “Now people don’t have to travel to the Middle East to experience the documented healing properties of salt from the Dead Sea, which is much more saturated with minerals that detoxify the body, stimulate blood circulation and relieve tension and muscle aches than ordinary salt.” Two salt rooms at Salt Chalet Arizona are covered from floor to ceiling with layers of pure salt imported Dead Sea salt, and clients sit inside the room for a 45-minute session while a fine mist of salt is sprayed into the room. The salt makes its way deep into the lungs, where it kills harmful bacteria, clears mucus buildup and opens air passages. Individuals have found relief from asthma, sinus headaches, allergies, COPD and more.

Chelation therapy: A safe, painless, nonsurgical medical procedure that improves metabolic and circulatory function by removing undesirable heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and copper from the body. A series of intravenous injections of the synthetic amino acid EDTA are administered, usually in an osteopathic or medical doctor’s office. The EDTA blocks excess free radical production, protecting tissues and organs from further damage. Over time, injections may halt the progress of the underlying condition that triggers the development of various degenerative conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, and cancer. More recently, chelation therapy also has been used to reverse symptoms of atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) by removing obstructive plaque built up in the circulatory system.

Coyote Healing Center Offers CuttingEdge Treatment

oyote Healing Center (CHC) was established in 2004 by David C. Rupley, Jr., M.D. (H) and Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona. Rupley was licensed by the Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medical Examiners in 2000 and served as a board member from 2007 to 2010. Carol Keck, RN, a holistic nurse consultant, provides whole person coaching. Selected as a site for the NIH-funded TACT trial, chelation is provided at the clinic. Through the TACT trial, chelation was demonstrated to be effective at reducing morbidity and mortality for individuals at high risk with cardiovascular disease. CHC has added PEMF to the services available in the clinic. Pulsing a mag-netic field of 1,000 to 1,900 gauss has profound effects on the cells within the body. PEMF has been shown to increase cellular energy and decrease inflammation. The results of PEMF vary, depending on the tissue or organ the field is focused on. Back, neck, shoulder and knee pain are reduced for most people with PEMF. This can happen with significant, continued relief in a few sessions. For some clients it has been dramatically improved in six to eight sessions. Additional sessions can help to maintain the relief. Some clients have noticed increased energy, decreased anxiety, improved mood and improved sleep. Clients are encouraged to complete two to three sessions a week for four weeks for optimal response.

Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world’s oldest and most complete systems of holistic health care. It combines the use of medicinal herbs, acupuncture, food therapy, massage and therapeutic exercise, along with the recognition that wellness in mind, body and emotions depends on the harmonious flow of life-force energy (qi or chi, pronounced “chee”). Chiropractic: Based on the premise that proper structural alignment permits free flow of nerve activity in the body. When spinal vertebrae are out of alignment, they put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves radiating from it, potentially leading to diminished function and illness. Misalignment can be caused by physical trauma, poor posture and stress. The chiropractor seeks to analyze and correct these misalignments through spinal manipulation or adjustment.

Dr. Sparer Uses DNFT in Tempe Practice

The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

hiropractic problems require the location and removal of subluxation (a bone and its contiguous structures out of alignment, causing nerve interference). Dr. Harlan Sparer treats the whole person, understanding that sometimes the body, mind and spirit need to be addressed together to find true cause and restore health. He knows that health is not merely the absence of disease; it is a state of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Dr. Richard Van Rumpt developed the Directional Dr. Harlan Sparer Non-Force Technique (DNFT), which involves a precise analysis and correction of subluxations causing nerve interference, considering alignment from front-to-back (posterior), side-to-side (lateral), tilted or back-tofront (anterior) and front-to-back (posterior). Sparer refers to himself as a wholistic chiropractor and has exclusively limited his practice in Tempe to this modality. Bones, ligaments, muscles and discs are aligned utilizing the thumbs to adjust them with a few ounces of force. A reactive leg reflex that dynamically shortens in response to a physical challenge is the indicator utilized to determine which segments are out of alignment.

Color therapy and colorpuncture: Color therapists believe that the vibrations of color waves can directly affect body cells and organs. Thus, different hues can treat illnesses and improve physical, emotional and spiritual health. Many practitioners also claim that the body emits an ‘aura,’ or energy field, with colors reflecting a person’s state of health. Color therapists apply colored lights or apply color mentally, through suggestion, to restore the body’s physical and psychic health. Colorpuncture combines the insights of light physics with the knowledge of the meridian points emphasized in Chinese acupuncture. The noninvasive technique is used to clear blockages in the meridians and restore healthy energy flow. Kirlian photographs track improvements. Another related sensory healing technique is light therapy, which attempts to restore well-being and can be successful in treating the depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Temple of Universality Welcomes All

he Temple of Universality spiritualist temple was founded in 1995 by Reverend Betty Tatalajski. She was a facilitator of A Course in Miracles in 1979 and a student of the gifted medium Reverend Robert Ireland. Reverend Betty When Ireland was in deep Tatalajski trance, his teacher, Dr. Carlos Blair, instructed Tatalajski to take her Course in Miracles class to Camp Chesterfield, a wellknown spiritualist community in Indiana. There, she was told by Sanat Kumara, the head of the spiritual hierarchy for the planet Earth, that she was to create a temple for a new consciousness, called Universality. The Ascended Masters said Universality was to be based on the universal truth found in all religions; and that she was to study all philosophies and religions, including Roman and Greek gods and goddesses. Under Tatalajski and with the guidance of Sanat Kumara, Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, the activities of the Temple of Universality include healing, spiritual art, psychic messages and phenomena, classes and a TV show, Steps Beyond Time, on Access Tucson, Cox 20/ Comcast 74, Sundays at 3:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. Sunday services are held at 11 a.m. Location: 3590 Country Club Rd. at Prince, Tucson (in the new Masonic Temple).

The Best of Conventional and Alternative Medicine by Martha M. Grout, MD, MD(H)

he Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine (AzCAM), where doctors believe functional medicine is the best approach to restore the function and balance to the body, is truly an integrative medical practice, composed of a collaboration of doctors and associates that are trained and licensed in both conventional and alternative medicine. They understand that each patient is unique, so his or her treatment needs to be tailored individually. Their primary goal is to ensure each patient receives the best medical care possible by integrating conventional and alternative medicine under one roof so that every patient

Natural Awakenings

benefits from the best of both worlds. Functional medicine emphasizes treating the patient and not the disease, using a systems biology approach to analyze how all of the components of an individual’s biological system, lifestyle and environment interact with each other. The doctors use all the tools of healing from both conventional and other branches of medicine, and apply functional medicine to identify and address the root causes of disease by treating the body as a whole integrated system, rather than an isolated set of symptoms. Most people think that there is

only the one kind of medical practice, called allopathic medicine, that uses the designation of M.D. Yet many more branches are coming into use today. These are often called alternative medicine, which include naturopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic, osteopathic, chiropractic, Chinese, and more. AzCAM integrates allopathic, homeopathic and naturopathic medicine so patients can receive the best medical care possible. Homeopathic medicine is a holistic form of medicine aimed to restore the body to its natural state and healthy balance by prescribing a remedy designed to stimulate the body’s internal healing process rather than to suppress the symptoms using pharmaceutical drugs. Allopathic doctors (M.D.) that are licensed in Arizona as homeopathic physicians have the designation M.D.(H) after their name and are often referred to as homeopathic physicians. Naturopathic medicine, also known as “natural medicine”, is a type

of medical system that uses a holistic approach in treating the person addressing the mind, body and spirit of the person instead of treating disease initially with pharmaceutical drugs or surgery. Naturopathic medicine treats disease states, symptoms and maladies with non-invasive and less toxic treatments encouraging minimal use of pharmaceutical drugs or surgery. Physicians that practice naturopathic medicine have the designation ND or NMD after their name and are often referred to as a naturopathic doctor or naturopathic medical doctor. A good analogy to understand how allopathic, homeopathic and na-

turopathic medicine coexist is to consider medicine like a tree comprised of many branches, with each branch representing a different philosophy. Each has its own tools and methodologies sharing a common trunk and root of medicine as a healing art that protects and improves a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health.

n the 1960s, Rev. Larry Richards was serving in the U.S. Air Force as an aircraft mechanic crew chief. After his miliRev. Larry Richards tary service, he entered the world of corporate IT, where he worked for 30 years. Now, Richards serves as an ordained minister, spiritual coach, certified transpersonal hypnotherapist and a mind body wellness practitioner as a member of the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists. His path started with a tour of Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), where Richards accompanied his wife, Geri. She was a massage therapist looking into taking advanced continuing education classes at the nationally accredited SWIHA for her LMT certification. “We immediately loved the calming and relaxing atmosphere of the school,” he says. His wife enrolled in the SWIHA yoga teacher training curriculum, continuing through their 800-hour Yoga Teacher Training/Yoga Therapist program. Richards recalled feeling drawn to the school, “The class calendar was on the table at home and every time I picked it up, it would fall open to the page about the Spiritual Studies program. I have strong spiritual beliefs. I felt like it was calling to me,” he says. Richards attended SWIHA’s introductory Life Coaching Weekend course and went on to complete the Spiritual Studies program in conjunction with the Hypnotherapy program and finished both in less than a year. He was ordained in December 2012. As an ordained non-denominational minister, he officiates weddings, birth blessings and many other celebrations of life, as well as performing funeral and memorial services. One of Richards’ favorite ways to serve is to participate in the Veteran’s Salute program at Hospice of the Valley, which honors veterans in life transition. “I present the veteran with a flag of their branch of service and a pin, and then stand at attention and salute them. It is such an honor to meet these veterans from WW II and the Korean War,” says Richards. “I recently met a veteran who helped rescue 100 people from a sinking ship that had been bombed, and another who survived an attack on his ship in Vietnam. I feel I am able to repay them some for the service they gave.” His business, Richards Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Offerings, LLC, keeps him busy, and he says he feels blessed and grateful for all the people that have helped him on the journey that led him to this place. SWIHA is dedicated to providing professional, affordable education on-campus and online for those interested in entering the healing arts profession or continuing their education, as well as to those seeking personal and spiritual growth.

Reusing Rainwater Saves Money and is Better for Plants by Brita Belli

oug Pushard, an expert in rainwater catchment systems who shares his know-how at HarvestH2O.com, believes that homeowners capture rainfall for two reasons—either to make the most of a precious water resource in states with low seasonal precipitation or to control stormwater runoff in states with high precipitation. It’s also an easy way to make a dent in household water and sewer bills. Capturing and managing rainwater provides an environmentally sound alternative to wasting precious tap water pulled from diminishing underground reservoirs, and can replace some or all of a home’s water needs, depending on the system. Rainwater is also better for nourishing lawns, plants and gardens. “People want to use rainwater instead of city water in their yards because they understand that city water carries chlorine, which is not great for plants,” Pushard explains. The amount of water used by residential irrigation is significant. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Water Sense Program, an American family of four uses 400 gallons of water a day, including 30 percent of it outside. More than half of that outdoor water is used for lawns and gardens, with the rest sprayed on cars, in swimming pools and on sidewalks and driveways. Collectively, nationwide landscape irrigation totals more than 7 billion gallons per day.

Water Calculations

In its simplest form, rainwater harvesting involves little more than placing rain barrels—with capacities from 55 gallons to several hundred gallons—under a home’s downspouts. 40

Natural Awakenings

Popular models can be purchased from home improvement stores, or county extension classes teach how to make one from inexpensive parts. Online research shows the various styles available; most have a spigot at the base for attaching a hose or filling a watering can. The larger capacity, more sophisticated systems use storage cisterns than can hold thousands of gallons of water below ground. These employ pumps that move the water to sprinkler systems or other points of use. For these more complicated setups, Pushard recommends engaging professional help, adding that below-ground systems will capture excess water year-round, even in climates where temperatures drop. “In northern New Mexico, where I live, we get almost one-third of our precipitation in the winter,” he says. “If you have a below-ground system, you can capture that; with an above-ground one, you can’t, because the tank or fittings would freeze and burst.” The formula for determining the maximum amount of water available to capture is related to roof size. Multiply the square footage of the roof times the local annual rainfall (found at Tinyurl.com/73enzjx), and then multiply the result by .623 gallons. That .623 factor is “how many gallons are in an area of one square foot by one inch deep of rainwater,” according to one of Pushard’s online tutorials. Not all roof materials are created equal. On the high end, tile, metal, concrete or asphalt roofs have a 95 percent runoff efficiency; gravel roofs, 70 percent; and grass roofs, 17 percent, so factor that in, too. Pushard recommends always going with a bigger tank, if possible, to avoid having to add more water storage later.

Think Big

Rainwater harvesting works as an effective irrigation device, but it needn’t be limited to outdoor use. One of the easiest—and most useful—places to direct captured rainwater is toilets. Citing bathrooms as a home’s biggest water user, the EPA notes that a single toilet can use 27 percent of household water. “It’s ludicrous that we use drinking water to flush toilets,” says Pushard. To use stored rainwater instead, run a new plumbing line to the rainwater storage tank and install a pump that activates when the toilet flushes. Rainwater can supply sink faucets, as well, but counting on rainwater to be the sole source of all household water requires a substantial investment and a filtration, purification and UV light system to make the water drinkable. When capturing rain for potable uses, roofing material becomes more important: Unpainted metal and tile are preferred, because these will not leach chemicals into the water that are difficult to remove. In terms of overall cost, the simplest rainwater collection systems will cost a few hundred dollars (less than $100 per barrel), while a whole-house system will cost tens of thousands. However, Pushard points out, rainwater harvesting can be a lifesaver with water shortages becoming a new norm in many states.

Talk about ads that target kids and how some retailers manipulate young audiences. Compare the advertised benefits of a new toy with their own experiences with it; does it measure up? Give kids attractive options and practice in making choices. “I tell them what a product contains and if it’s proven to cause health problems,” says Mary Marsh, a mother of three in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. “I also will tell them about a natural alternative. I really want them to make these important decisions themselves. I can’t decide for them later on.”

GREEN Lessons to Help Lighten Future Footprints

Taming Trash

by Hilary Ferrand

arents schooled in environmental principles strive to guide their children in like-minded directions. How can we inspire them to join in addressing larger challenges without coming across as a lecturer about yet another obligation? Thankfully, there are many ways to make green living a feel-good, even easy and fun habit.

Natural Awakenings

Cutting Consumerism

The most important factor is to live as an example. Parents best teach children to buy less by buying less themselves. Discuss various considerations and ask for their opinions. According to a recent study by Empower MediaMarketing, kids see 12 to 14 minutes of commercials for every hour of television screen time.

NaturalAZ.com

Challenge children to find reusable alternatives to disposable household items. Turn it into a game; conduct experiments to see how well the alternatives work and try their ideas. Put a spin on recycling. Instead of rinsing milk jugs and putting them out for recycling, save some to create an igloo indoors. Unwind that old sweater and use it in artwork. Cut apart old jeans and turn them into skirts. Decorate glass jars and repurpose them as storage for pantry foods and miscellany. Take children to the local dump to identify items that could be recycled or reused. University of Utah research attests that half of all U.S. garbage could be recycled. In practice, we settle for about 2 percent. Encourage youngsters to make their opinions known. When a toy’s package is much larger than it needs to be, help them write the maker a letter asking the manufacturer to green their business.

Creating Concern

Help children become experts. “Kids can inspire their friends and parents to be more environmentally conscious,” advises Dr. Moshe Lewis, chief of physical medicine and rehab at the California Pacific Medical Center, in San Francisco. Surround the family with nature. “Kids are naturally curious. As they learn about the natural habitat of animals, their importance in the ecosystem and how beautiful they are, they develop an appreciation for the diverse flora and fauna species on Earth,” says Lewis. Barbara Smith started the Bow Wow Meow Kids Club at the Almost Home humane shelter, in Fort Dodge, Iowa, so that more children could visit the animals. “Volunteering at the shelter has more benefits for kids than just playing with cats and dogs,” says Smith. “It teaches how to be kind, how to earn trust and try to heal. It teaches them to be humane.”

Involve kids in choosing good food. “I like to produce some food at home so we can lessen our footprints a bit more,” says Marsh. Two of her children help care for the family’s quails and collect eggs. The third creates cartoons about the downside of factory farms.

Tough Talking

Environmental challenges can appear daunting, and may make children feel fearful or even guilty that they can’t help. A parent can help calm their nerves, offer constructive perspective and help them feel like part of the solution. “Keep the tone of conversation on possibilities, rather than impending doom,” counsels Licensed Mental Health Counselor Brooke Randolph, of Indianapolis, Indiana. “Focus on what could happen, instead of what will.” Look for the positives. “A single choice is not causing global warming or the extinction of a species; rather,

NaturalTucson.com

it is a build-up of several choices, made by many people, over and over again.” Talk about current incremental changes that are helping. Make doable, Earth-friendly goals and act together to make a difference. “No matter how small it is,” says Randolph, “if children feel they are doing something positive, they can feel more in control.” Finally, encourage self-expression. “For kids, being able to verbalize or express their feelings is critical,” says Lewis. “Sometimes, this requires more than just talk therapy. I have found that art and other creative expressions are a way to work through various emotions.” Hilary Ferrand is a freelance writer in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

Craniosacral therapy (CST): A manual therapeutic procedure to remedy distortions in the structure and function of the craniosacral mechanism—the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the skull, the sacrum and interconnected membranes. Craniosacral work is based upon two major premises: that the bones of the skull can be manipulated, because they never completely fuse; and that the pulse of the cerebrospinal fluid can be balanced by a practitioner trained to detect variations in that pulse. CST is used to treat chronic pain, migraine headaches, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), ear and eye problems, balance problems, learning difficulties, dyslexia and hyperactivity. Crystal and gem therapy: Practitioners use quartz crystals and gemstones for therapeutic and healing purposes, asserting that the substances have recognizable energy frequencies and the capacity to amplify other frequencies in the body. They also absorb and store frequencies and can essentially be programmed to help effect healing. In the ancient art of ‘laying-on of stones,’ practitioners place crystals and gemstones on various parts of the body, corresponding to its chakra points (energy centers), in order to balance energy flow.

Nature and Benefits of Ozone Therapy by Katka Novakova, MD (Europe), ND

zone is a gas made of three oxygen molecules with an unstable electron that makes it a powerful oxidizer that is able to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and neutralize other toxins. It is used commercially to purify water, break down toxic wastes, disinfect surfaces in the pharmaceutical field and preserve stored foods in the food industry. Ozone therapy supports many of the body’s basic functions. For example, by activating red blood cell metabolism, ozone leads to increased delivery of oxygen to all body tissues, and because it helps to dilate constricted blood vessels, it allows for better blood flow.

It also increases the efficiency of the body’s own antioxidant system, helping to eliminate excess free radicals that are known to be the cause of many degenerative diseases. Perhaps the most powerful effect of ozone, however, is in boosting the immune system. By stimulating the production of white blood cells and the release of immune system messengers, called cytokines, ozone helps the body to fight multiple infections and inhibit tumor growth. The history of ozone use in medicine goes back to the early 1900s, when Dr. Joachim Hansler invented the first reliable ozone machine. Ozone was successfully used during World

War I to treat German soldiers suffering from gangrene due to infections that thrive in an environment without oxygen. Exposure to ozone, which was accomplished by putting the affected extremity into an airtight bag and filling the bag with ozone, helped to destroy the harmful bacteria. The first use of ozone intravenously was done in the 1940s and 1950s and its development is credited to Dr. H. Wolff. It is the most common ozone treatment today and is used by thousands of physicians worldwide. During a major ozone treatment, blood is withdrawn into an IV bag, mixed with precisely measured amounts of ozone and oxygen and then re-infused back into the body. Another effective way to use ozone is called minor ozone. This involves taking out a small amount of blood, ozonating it and injecting it into a muscle. This stimulates the body’s immune system and helps to eliminate chronic viruses, inflammation and other foreign substances from the body. Ozone is also available infused into olive oil for topical application of fungal infections and small doses can be used in the ear for the elimination of ear infections and chronic candidiasis.

Dance/movement therapy: A method of expressing thoughts and feelings through movement, developed during the 1940s. Participants, guided by trained therapists, are encouraged to move freely, sometimes to music. Dance/movement therapy can be practiced by people of all ages to promote self-esteem and gain insight into their own emotional problems, but is also used to help those with serious mental and physical disabilities. In wide use in the United States, this modality is becoming established around the world.

Decluttering: Based on the theory that clutter drains both physical and mental energy. Decluttering involves two components. The first focuses on releasing things (clothing, papers, furniture, objects and ideas) that no longer serve a good purpose in one’s life. The second focuses on creating a simple system of personal organization that is easy to maintain and guards against accumulating things that are neither necessary or nourishing. Dentistry (Holistic): Regards the mouth as a microcosm of the entire body. The oral structures and the whole body are seen as a unit. Holistic dentistry often incorporates such methods as homeopathy, biocompatibility testing and nutritional counseling. Most holistic dentists emphasize wellness and preventive care, while avoiding (and often recommending the removal of) silver-mercury fillings. Detoxification: The practice of resting, cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. According to some holistic practitioners, accumulated toxins can drain the body of energy and make it more susceptible to disease. Detoxification techniques may include fasts, special diets, sauna sweats and colon cleansing.

THE PUPPET LADY

Doula: A woman who supports an expectant mother through pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period. Studies indicate that support in labor has profound benefits, including shorter labor, less desire for pain medication, lower rate of Caesarian delivery and more ease in initiation of breast feeding. Fathers have reported that they were more relaxed with a doula present because they felt reassured, and therefore freer to support their mates. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): A self-help procedure founded by Gary Craig that combines fingertip tapping of key acupuncture meridian points while focusing on an emotional issue or health challenge. Unresolved, or ‘stuck,’ negative emotions, caused by a disruption in the body’s energy system, are seen as major contributors to most physical pains and diseases. These can remain stagnant and trapped until released by the tapping. EFT is easy to memorize and portable, so it can be done anywhere.

Flower remedies: Flower essences are recognized for their ability to improve well-being by eliminating negative emotions. In the 1930s, English physician Edward Bach concluded that negative emotions could lead to physical illness. His research also convinced him that flowers possessed healing properties that could be used to treat emotional problems. In the 1970s, Richard Katz completed Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and established the Flower Essence Society, which has registered some 100 essences from flowers in more than 50 countries. Functional medicine: A personalized medicine that focuses on primary prevention and deals with underlying causes, instead of symptoms, for serious chronic diseases. Treatments are grounded in nutrition and improved lifestyle habits and may make use of medications. The discipline uses a holistic approach to analyze and treat interdependent systems of the body and to create the dynamic balance integral to good health. G u i d e d i m a g e r y a n d c r e a t iv e visualization: Uses positive thoughts, images and symbols to focus the mind on the workings of the body to accomplish a particular goal, desired outcome or physiological change, such as pain relief or healing of disease. This flow of thought can take many forms and involve, through the imagination, all the physical senses. Imagination is an important element of the visualization process; it helps create a mental picture of what is desired in order to transform life circumstances.

Holotropic breathwork: A selfexploration technique that combines breathing, evocative music and a specific form of bodywork to integrate one’s physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions. At workshops run by facilitators, participants try to access the four “levels” of experience that are available during breathing: sensory, biographical, perinatal and transpersonal. By accessing buried memories, individuals can relive their birth experience or traumatic life events, free up ‘stuck’ emotional viewpoints or experience a mystical state of awareness, such as connecting with the Universe.

KINESPHERE CENTER FOR MOVEMENT EDUCATION 711 E. Missouri Ave., Ste. 180 Phoenix, 85014 602-532-3111 kinesphere-studio.com

Homeopathy: A therapy that uses small doses of specially prepared plants and minerals to stimulate the body’s defense mechanisms and healing processes in order to cure illness. Homeopathy, taken from the Greek words homeos, meaning “similar,” and pathos, meaning “suffering,” employs the concept that “like cures like.” A remedy is individually chosen for a person based on its capacity to cause, if given in an overdose, physical and psychological symptoms similar to those the patient is experiencing. Hydrotherapy: The use of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full-body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used at home as part of a self-care program. Hypnotherapy: A range of hypnosis techniques that allow practitioners to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious. The altered state that occurs under hypnosis has been compared to a state of deep meditation or transcendence, in which the innate recuperative abilities of the psyche are allowed to flow more freely. The subject can achieve greater clarity regarding his or her own wants and needs, explore other events or periods of life that require resolution, or generally develop a more positive attitude. Often used to help people lose weight or stop smoking, it is also used in the treatment of phobias, stress and as an adjunct to the treatment of illnesses. Integrative medicine: This holistic approach combines conventional Western medicine with complementary alternative treatments, in order to simultaneously treat mind, body and spirit. Geared to the promotion of health and the prevention of illness, it neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies, without serious evaluation.

Intuitive arts: A general term for various methods of divination, such as numerology, psychic reading, and tarot reading. Individuals may consult practitioners to seek information about the future or insights into personal concerns or their personality. Numerology emphasizes the significance of numbers derived from the spelling of names, birth dates and other significant references; psychics may claim various abilities, from finding lost objects and persons to communicating with the spirits of the dead; tarot readers interpret a deck of cards containing archetypal symbols. Iridology: Analysis of the delicate structure of the iris, the colored portion of the eye, to reveal information about conditions within the body. More than 90 specific zones on each iris, for a combined total of 180-plus zones, correspond to specific areas of the body. Because body weaknesses are often noticeable in the iris long before they are discernible through blood work or other laboratory analysis, iridology can be a useful tool for preventive self-care.

Kinesiology/applied kinesiology: The study of muscles and their movement. Applied kinesiology tests the relative strength and weakness of selected muscles to identify decreased function in body organs and systems, as well as imbalances and restrictions in the body’s energy flow. Some tests use acupuncture meridians and others analyze interrelationships among muscles, organs, the brain and the body’s energy field. Applied kinesiology is also used to check the body’s response to treatments that are being considered. Macrobiotics: An Eastern philosophy best known in the West for its dietary principles. Macrobiotic theory posits that there is a natural order to all things. By synchronizing our eating habits with the cycles of nature, we can achieve a fuller sense of balance within ourselves and with the world around us. Although not a specific diet, it emphasizes low-fat and highfiber foods, whole grains, vegetables, sea vegetables and seeds, all cooked in accordance with macrobiotic principles.

Magnetic field therapy: Electromagnetic energy and the human body have a vital and valid interrelationship, making it possible to use magnetic field therapy as an aid in diagnosing and treating physical and emotional disorders. This process is reported to relieve symptoms and may, in some cases, retard the cycle of new diseases. Magnets and electromagnetic therapy devices are now being used to eliminate pain, facilitate the healing of broken bones and counter the effects of stress.

Feldenkrais Provides Proven Alternative Healing

he Feldenkrais Method uses gentle movement and awareness to update the brain about greater possibilities of function and movement. It can be taught in a class format, called Awareness Through Movement, or delivered as a handson therapy in private sessions, called Tammy Rosen Functional Integration. “I am more Wilbur flexible and agile at age 40 than I was at age 25,” says one practitioner. “Because of Feldenkrais Method, my performance ability as a dancer is stronger than ever.” Andrew Weil, M.D., director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, supports this assessment. “I find it to be much more useful than standard physical therapy,” he says. “I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method can help older people achieve greater range of motion, flexibility and help us all feel more comfortable in our bodies.” Classes normally involve lying on a mat on the floor while being guided through a pattern of movements that help the nervous system find full skeletal support for a given action. Private sessions are fully clothed and use gentle movement tailored to the client’s individual structural alignment. Some applications include recovering from surgery, stroke or injury, fine-tuning athletic performance and improving function for people with movement challenges resulting from cerebral palsy or other ailments. Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner Tammy Rosen Wilbur can be reached at 520-305-5393 or TucsonFeldenkrais. com. See ad page 86.

Osteopathy/osteopathic physicians: Osteopathy uses generally accepted physical, pharmacological and surgical methods of diagnosis and therapy, with a strong emphasis on body mechanics and manipulative methods to detect and correct faulty structure and function, in order to restore the body’s natural healing capacities. Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.) are fully trained and licensed according to the same standards as medical doctors (M.D.) and receive additional extensive training in the body’s structure and functions. Oxygen therapies: Alters the body’s chemistry to help overcome disease, promote repair and improve overall function. Properly applied, oxygen may be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including infections, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, allergies, cancer and multiple sclerosis. The major types of oxygen therapy used to treat illness are hyperbaric oxygen and ozone. Hydrogen peroxide therapy (oral or intravenous) can be dangerous and should be avoided.

Past Life Regression: Past life and regression therapies operate on the assumption that many physical, mental and emotional challenges are extensions of unresolved problems from the past, either childhood traumas or experiences in previous lifetimes.

Can help in overcoming injuries.

Qigong and Tai chi: Qigong and Tai chi combine movement, meditation and breath regulation to enhance the flow of vital energy (qi or chi, pronounced “chee”) in the body, improve circulation and enhance immune function. Qigong traces its roots to traditional Chinese medicine. Tai chi was originally a self-defense martial art descended from qigong and employed to promote inner peace and calm.

Real Time EEG Neurofeedback: Involves direct training of brain function. Using computer processing to capture electrical activity in the brain, an individual can reward the brain with positive feedback, changing its activity to desired, more appropriate patterns. Gradually, the brain learns and remembers how to exhibit only the good patterns. Rebirthing breathwork: Also known as conscious connected breathing, or vivation. Rebirthing is a means to access and release unresolved emotions. The technique uses conscious, steady, rhythmic breathing, without pausing between inhaling and exhaling. Guided by a professional rebirther, clients re-experience past memories, including birth, and let go of emotional tension stored in the body. Reconnective Healing: Uses light and dimensional frequencies that work on all levels of the body/mind to reduce stress, foster relaxation and raise the body’s healing vibration. The idea of Reconnective Healing is to reconnect the meridian or acupuncture lines on the body that have become disconnected from the larger, universal grid of meridian lines.

n the heart of the Sonoran desert, Kate’s Magik creates intent-based products from complex blends of aromatherapy-grade essential oils and all-natural, quality ingredients. Kate Becker, a therapeutic perfumer, started Kate’s Magik in 2002 to help people clarify needs and make positive changes by uniting the power of intention with the beautiful aromas of the Earth’s healing plants. Becker’s lines of Reikicharged products include anointing oils, aura mists, massage oils, body perfume oils, diffuser oils and her most recent creation of element-inspired aromatherapy body lotions. After moving to Arizona from New York City, Becker developed the concept of offering pure essential oil blends to aid people facing normal, everyday challenges: overcoming fear, sadness or insecurity; conquering bad habits or addictions; re-instilling confidence and trust; and enhancing joy, sensuality and success. Kate’s Magik operates independently and controls its entire manufacturing process. Each product is lovingly crafted with human hands at their production facility in historic downtown Tucson. Becker is honored to have had the opportunity to create healing tools and beautiful aromas that enrich people’s lives, and continues to develop new products that contribute to the overall well-being of this planet by helping people help themselves.

Regression therapies: Operate on the assumption that many physical, mental and emotional problems are extensions of unresolved problems from the past, such as childhood traumas.

Reflexology: A natural healing art based upon the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to every part of the body. Correctly stimulating and applying pressure to the feet or hands increases circulation and promotes specifically designated bodily and muscular functions. NaturalTucson.com

PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ARTS FOR THE HEART

BODY AND SOL PRODUCTIONS Co-founders, Barbara Peters and Holly Baker Southern Arizona 520-468-8005 • 520-760-2378 bodyandsoltucson.com

Reiki: Means “universal life-force energy.” A method of activating and balancing the life-force (qi or chi, pronounced “chee”). Practitioners use light hand placements to channel healing energies to organs and glands or to align the body’s chakras (energy centers). Various techniques can ease emotional and mental distress, heal chronic and acute physical problems and achieve spiritual focus and clarity. Reiki can be a valuable addition to the work of chiropractors, massage therapists, nurses and others for whom the use of touch is essential and appropriate. Rolfing structural integration (Rolfing): A hands-on technique for deep tissue manipulation of the myofascial system, which is composed of the muscles and the connective tissue, or fascia, in order to restore the body’s natural alignment and sense of integration. As the body is released from old patterns and postures, the range and freedom of physical and emotional expression increases. Rolfing can help ease pain and chronic stress, enhance neurological functioning, improve posture and restore flexibility. Shamanism: An ancient healing tradition which believes that loss of power is the real source of illness and that all healing includes the spiritual dimension. Shamanic healing usually involves induction into an altered state of consciousness and journeying into the spirit world to regain personal power and to access the powers of nature and of teachers. Shamanic healing may be taken literally or employed symbolically, but in or out of its cultural context, the tradition can be both self-empowering and self-healing.

Shiatsu: The most widely known form of acupressure, Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning finger pressure. The technique applies varying degrees of pressure to balance the life energy that flows through specific pathways, or meridians, in the body. Used to release tension and strengthen weak areas in order to facilitate even circulation, cleanse cells and improve the function of vital organs. Shiatsu may be used to help diagnose, prevent and relieve many chronic and acute conditions that manifest on both physical and emotional levels. Sound healing: Employs vocal and instrumental tones, generated internally or externally. When sounds are produced with healing intent, they can create sympathetic resonance in the physical and energy bodies. Sound healing also is used to bring discordant energy into balance and harmony.

Spiritual healing/counseling: Practiced in two forms. In one, the healer uses thought or touch to align his or her spiritual essence with that of the client. The healer works to either balance the spiritual field or shift the perceptual base of the client to create harmony between mind and body and draw the client into the active presence of Divine Spirit. In the other, the healer transforms healing energy into a vibrational frequency that the client can receive and comfortably assimilate, reminding the person’s intuitive core of its inherent healing ability.

Tantra: Has emerged as a modern spiritual path of embodied consciousness, with roots in ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Tantra views the ‘spiritual’ as being directly present within the ‘physical’ and respects sensory experience as a vehicle for accessing higher states of awareness. Tantric practices balance the chakras (energy centers) and can contribute to a sense of presence, intimacy and fulfillment in all aspects of living. Tantra Tai chi: A recently developed practice of Tai chi/qigong-style body movements designed to be performed with a partner. It can enhance intimacy by sequentially and simultaneously focusing attention on the root, or sexual center, near the base of the spine, the heart or love center in the mid-chest region and the upper spiritual center in the head. The cycling of energy through these chakra centers encourages a blended experience of intimate presence with one’s own internal being and one’s partner. The Results System: A non-intrusive system using kinesiology (biofeedback via muscle testing) to identify and release body stressors at a cellular level, allowing the body to operate at the highest levels of efficiency possible. It may have a positive affect on conditions such as chemical imbalance, learning disorders, attention deficit disorders and alcoholism.
