une in Tucson, though it may the hottest month of the year, still boasts plenty of fun indoor and outdoor activities and opportunities. That’s part of what makes Tucson a “livable community”, like the other major cities highlighted on page 20 for making life easier, healthier and more enjoyable for its people.

We have plenty of options in our area to try new things. It’s a good time to take on inside events and perhaps a good time to try out that class you have had your eye on, perfect your yoga practice or try something new. Perhaps a float? A new spiritual practice?

Develop your listening skills? Summer is a great time to shore up our skills and grow ourselves.

Her desire to offer patients informative treatment options and patient education, with both allopathic and alternative approaches, will undoubtedly present dental clients with the information and precision to confidently address their dental needs.

The mouth is the entryway to the body and has a bigger role in your well-being than previously thought. There are many ways dentists can help care for your overall health in addition to caring for your teeth. I strive for this goal with every one of my patients.”

Children’s Sensory Learning Program

A

rizona Vision Therapy is now offering the Sensory Learning Program for children, an international program that is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, nontraditional treatment that connects the visual, auditory and balance systems.

Through the use of passive light, sound and movement therapy that takes place on a Amy Thomas therapeutic bed, the program helps children integrate the sensory messages they receive through sight, sound and their body. Limited spots are available in the summer program.

“Does your child fall often, touch everything, hate being touched or have a lot of tantrums? There may be a sensory processing problem. The Sensory Learning Program can help,” says Dr. Amy Thomas, a board-certified optometrist experienced in vision development and rehabilitation. “Within 30 days, you can tap into your child’s sensory issues and help your child make sense of his world. Many families who come for treatment are at their wit’s end trying to figure out why their child is just not ‘getting it’.”

Although sensory issues tend to happen in children (and adults) who are otherwise typical, it is also commonly found in gifted children, those on the autistic spectrum, those with attention deficit disorder, brain injuries, developmental delays, problems with athletic performance and other syndromes that affect how the senses coordinate with each other.

Call today at 520-886-8800 for more information or visit our website at AZVisionTherapy.com to make a step in the right direction for your child. See ad, page 12.

Loft Cinema Hosts 2001: A Space Odyssey

I

n celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, a brand-new 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick’s landmark sci-fi masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey, lands at The Loft Cinema for one week only, June 22 to 28. This gorgeous new 70mm print is being struck from the original camera negative, meaning that audiences will see the film the same way moviegoers did in 1968.

Based on Arthur C. Clark’s story, The Sentinel, this mind-blowing meditation on technology and humanity thrillingly hypothesizes mankind’s evolution from ape to astronaut to celestial being, while scientists Dave Bowman and Frank Poole do battle with a snarky artificial intelligence unit named HAL and eventually try to crack the mystery of those baffling black monoliths. With assistance from special effects expert Douglas Trumbull, Kubrick spent over two years meticulously creating the most “realistic” depictions of outer space ever seen, greatly advancing cinematic technology in service of a story expressing grave doubts about technology itself.

Eschewing traditional narrative structure and embracing a tone of mythic transcendence, 2001, provocatively promoted as “the ultimate trip”, quickly caught on with the late ‘60s counterculture audience open to a contemplative viewing experience of a film carefully designed to take them on a journey they would never forget. Nominated for four Academy Awards and a winner for its landmark visual effects, 2001 stands today as one of the all-time great science fiction classics.

Flotation and Mental Patterns It’s easy to replace a habit, but nigh impossible to eliminate it.

Flotation is the easiest way to do the latter.

Issues like anxiety and PTSD are mental habits, which gives flotation an edge for treating them. Knowing the nature of a mental ailment, or even a stubborn habit, empowers us to combat it.

The subconscious is powerful, and what it wants most at any time is to continue doing the same things it currently does. That means that bad habits, and disorders like anxiety and PTSD, are likely to stick stubbornly or escalate.

Trying to deny the pattern our subconscious has become familiar with can seem excruciating—like it’s going against our very nature to survive.

In a float tank, we enter a meditative brain state—one where our subconscious is free. It’s safe, quiet and restful. This can induce a state like dreaming, but we still have complete lucidity and conscious control. The tank strips away all outside influence, which means the subconscious isn’t burdened with the need to react—only to process.

One might think of being in a tank as getting back to our own “original recipe”—an interaction and alignment between the conscious and subconscious brain. This enables us to break mental patterns, not just replace them with a different habit. Not only that, but regular floating will begin to translate outside of the tank. We can become more in touch and able to cooperate with our subconscious. Many people refer to this as increased intuition.

This is only one of the many benefits of flotation, but it can be counted among the absolute most valuable.

The Benefits of Restorative Yoga When we experience symptoms associated with the stress of daily life or the demands of a chronic illness, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches and much more, Restorative Yoga can minimize these symptoms.

The benefits of Restorative Yoga include: slowing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, slowing breathing rate, improving digestion, maintaining normal blood sugar levels, reducing activity of stress hormones, increasing blood flow to major muscles, reducing muscle tension and chronic pain, improving concentration and mood, improving sleep quality, lowering fatigue, reducing anger and frustration and boosting confidence to handle problems.

Katt Kennedy is a Flotician at Cloud Nine Flotation who moonlights as a graphic novel writer. Connect at 520-668-4017, Info@FloatTucson.com or FloatTucson.com.

On top of these benefits, when reiki is infused into a Restorative Yoga session, there is an increase in the benefits and deeper relaxation is achieved. This can make a significant difference in our mood and the way we feel.

Immunity and Posture

There are many great things to do to boost our immunity, including exercise, laughter, meditation, gratitude and a diet high in antioxidants. But, shockingly enough, poor posture can minimize the effectiveness of all of these great practices.

Chronic poor posture most likely indicates that the nervous system is stuck in a fight-or-flight state. This means the body and nervous system are in protective mode against traumatic events that are long past, but are still being replayed over unconsciously. When we are in fight-orflight, our immunity drops because so much of our energy and attention goes into protection.

In addition to poor posture, other ways we would know that our nervous system is in fight-or-flight include: chronic pain or health issue; difficulty relaxing, sleeping or concentrating; being balance challenged; having poor digestion or circulation; a history of accidents, football, head injury; a mind that won’t shut off; and low energy.

On top of lowering our immunity, having a nervous system in fight-orflight saps our energy, and decreases the effectiveness of our breathing, digestion and heart. Fortunately, the body has an amazing ability to heal and recover. We can have our nervous system evaluated and adjusted by a Tonal chiropractor to regain our natural state of ease and efficiency.

Dr. Joanne Haupert, D.C. is a chiropractor at Inspired Healing who has helped many people build their immunity and regain their health and vitality. Connect at 520584-0343, InspiredHealing.Tucson@ gmail.com or InspiredHealing.org.

Does one colonic completely empty the colon? “Magic bullet” thinking says one colonic will open the floodgates and we’ll be home free. If it were that easy, colon therapists would not exist.

It can be very challenging to have the contents of the colon flow out freely. Sometimes it takes work—repeated sessions close together to crack the nut or break the dam—not to mention the lifestyle and attitude changes.

Many of us have a considerable amount of impacted waste in our colon, accompanied by muscle, nerve, immune and hormone deficit. Substantial work must be done. The second and subsequent colonics may release more material as the body tunes into releasing, muscles become suppler, the area becomes more hydrated and bacterial/fungal sources of nerve damage are reduced.

Is it necessary to “take a series” of colonics? It depends on one’s objective. One or two colonics may be all that’s necessary to recover from travel, flu, fever, back or headache, transient constipation or a small fast or cleanse. However, overcoming lifelong constipation, creating multiple bowel movements, reversing Metabolic Syndrome and achieving vital health may require regular colonics for some time.

It has taken years to create our current body condition. One has to factor in body condition, how well we respond and possible needed lifestyle and attitude changes. Remember, it’s lifestyle medicine now. After the first colonic, patients can discuss with the therapist how many sessions might be needed and how often.

Find Peace of Mind at Kadampa Half-Day Retreat

K

adampa Meditation Center Arizona will host a Clarity of Mind half-day retreat, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., June 30, with Kelsang Dechok, a Kadampa Buddhist nun who has been studying, practicing and teaching Modern Kadampa Buddhism for many years.

During this morning retreat, attendees will explore the nature of our mind by way of a short talk, followed by

guided meditations. When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subside and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

“Let yourself be guided through gentle meditations on the mind and treat yourself to high-quality happiness,” says Dechok. “We all have the capacity to experience immense inner peace and contentment. Our mind is the nature of clarity, so when undefiled by distractions, negative

thoughts and feelings, we can experience the spaciousness and peace that lies within.

By meditating on the mind itself, we can calm the inner chatter that Kelsang Dechok often causes us so many problems and worries.”

Happiness and suffering are states of mind, so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy, regardless of external conditions. If it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy no matter how good our external conditions may be. External conditions can make us happy only if our mind is peaceful. Therefore, if we want to experience true, lasting happiness, we need to learn the secret of inner peace by meditating on the mind.

Cost: $25. Location: 5326 E. Pima St., Tucson. For more information, call 520441-1617 or visit MeditationInTucson.org/ ClarityOfMindRetreat.

Scar Tissue:

A Portal to Healing

S

by Sylvia Boyed

car tissue is a needed friend to trauma and surgery, and yet, it also binds and compresses the body, regenerating itself over time. An overabundance of tissue, when treated, is very dynamic and informative. When tapped into and treated, these overdeveloped areas of the body hold a potential, which can energetically heal and reconstruct the body, relieving patterns of symptoms or conditions.

By applying a unique and energetic blend of techniques from two forms of treatment, visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapies, the fascial tensions created from scar tissue are relaxed and reintegrated. This deep opening of the body’s structures provides an opportunity for healing many health related conditions, as well as providing the means to emotionally heal unconscious grief and trauma. It takes time to move through many layers of life and tension within the body. Physical challenges can be a reflection of a deeper need to heal emotionally, which can lead to rich, transformative understanding and meaning.

The human body moves constantly within a system of tensions, creating balance and reciprocity within the organs, muscles and ligaments attached to the bony structure of the body. These tensions, when not in equilibrium and symmetry, often culminate in pain and misalignment. A person’s mobility decreases, circulation is impeded and pressure builds within the various cavities of the body.

A good example of this phenomena is early head trauma, which is often a catalyst for numerous systemic issues later in life.

Head injuries from the womb, or those that occur in developmental years, set the spine off in a direction of unease, affecting the mandible, the membrous tissue of the cranium and other structures. Trauma or blows to the head in childhood or adulthood will alter the rest of the body and can significantly impair function. New research also indicates the possibility of early dementia or Alzheimer’s for untreated head injuries.

Cincinnati has contracted with the energy company Dynegy to purchase 100 percent renewable energy to operate most of its municipal facilities through at least 2021.

The green energy will power police and fire stations, health clinics, recreation centers and most administrative buildings, including city hall.

The city’s greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by more than 9 percent and its utility rates by more than $100,000 annually. The deal will bring the city closer to its goal of running on 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

Quick Quarters

Simple Eco-Houses on the Upswing

A new Ukrainian homebuilding startup called PassivDom uses a 3-D printing robot to produce parts for tiny houses.

The machine can print the walls, roof and floor of the company’s 380-square-foot model in about eight hours.

The windows, doors and self-contained plumbing, sewage and self-electrical systems are then added by a human worker. Solar energy is stored in a battery.

Filtered water collects from humidity in the air. Prices start at $64,000 per house (PassiveDom).

M.A.DI., in Italy, produces prefabricated Aframe houses in five sizes that can be set up anywhere. The basic model is rated an energy class B, but can be upgraded with an option of adding solar panels to make the structures energy-independent.

Homes made by Lifehaus blend low-cost, off-grid appeal with holistic living and luxurious details. The Lebanon company is pioneering energy-neutral dwellings made from locally sourced and recycled materials. Green home dwellers will also be able to generate electricity and grow their own food.

At the North American Climate Summit in Chicago last December, more than 50 mayors from around the globe signed the Chicago Climate Charter, intended to guide cities toward reaching greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals similar to the Paris climate accord. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says each mayor will pursue a customized plan, noting, “We’re all going to get to the same destination in our own way.” President Trump’s intended exit from the Paris agreement has sparked an uproar from leaders worldwide, especially mayors in cities long committed to reducing emissions.

Dozens of cities are committed to 100 percent clean and renewable energy goals and pledged to promote clean transit through using zero-emissions buses. Emanuel believes, “Climate change can be solved by human action.” Cities’ actions now may well pay off in the long run.

Deadly Cargo Oil Spill Threatens Ocean Ecology

Experts are warning that the Iranian tanker Sanchi oil spill in January in the East China Sea could potentially be one of the worst in decades. Scientists from the UK National Oceanography Centre and the University of Southampton are monitoring the disaster, believing it could 18

severely impact important reefs, fishing grounds and protected marine areas in Japan. They are also concerned by the toxic nature of the ultra-light, highly flammable oil and unknown impacts. Simon Boxall, with the centre, notes, “It’s not like crude, which does break down under natural microbial action. This stuff actually kills the microbes that break the oil down.”

Rail Trails

Summer Vacations with a Fun Twist This summer, consider the convenience and relaxation of watching the world go by outside a panoramic side window instead of focusing on driving the road ahead. Train travel is also more cost-effective, affordable and ecofriendly than flying. SmarterTravel.com highlights railroad discounts for children, seniors, students, AAA members, military personnel and other demographics. Additional advantages include accessible central city terminals, a generous luggage policy and less time waiting until departures. If a station has an unattended parking lot, arrange to be dropped off.

Amtrak (Amtrak.com) encompasses 300 daily trains on more than

21,000 miles of track to more than 500 destinations. Particularly scenic routes include the California Zephyr that winds through the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains between San Francisco and Chicago; and the Adirondack train between New York City and Montreal, Canada, offering spectacular views of both its namesake national park and the historic Hudson River Valley.

Amtrak’s 75 vacation packages (AmtrakVacations.com) range from three days to two weeks. Sights include the Grand Canyon and Glacier, Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks. Most long-distance routes provide sleeping accommodations

with passenger amenities for day and night.

Advanced technology electric locomotives began enhancing Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor runs in 2016. Designed for maximum energy efficiency with a regenerative braking system that feeds back into the power grid, this innovation saves electricity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Amtrak’s partnership with CarbonFund.org allows passengers to offset the carbon emissions footprint from their rail travel. Custom contributions can be made via the Rail Calculator or short- or long-distance traveler or Amtrak Trainiac preset options on Amtrak’s website.

Many travelers also enjoy narrow-gauge, short-rail junkets.

Popular options include Colorado’s Durango & Silverton Railroad (DurangoTrain.com), a nostalgic trip back to the mining days of the Old West; the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (CumbresToltec.com), a 45-mile ride along the New Mexico/Colorado border; and the Conway Scenic Railroad (ConwayScenic.com) in New Hampshire, within two hours of both Portland, Maine, and Boston, Massachusetts.

Neighboring Canada affords many scenic trains including trips connecting Toronto with Vancouver and Calgary. Visit RockyMountaineer.com and ViaRail.ca.

Good for People and the Planet

by John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

M

any people define a livable city as one that is easy to get around in by foot, bike or public transportation. Many also prioritize ready access to fresh, local, organic food via farmers’ markets and community gardens.

Others champion affordable housing and cost of living factors, safe neighborhoods with a diversity of people, careful stewardship of clean air and water, and plentiful amenities, including considerable open space and natural settings. Many work to preserve and enhance a sense of place suited to the locale.

Partners for Livable Communities, a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that renews and restores communities, maintains, “Livability is the sum of the factors that add up to a community’s quality of life, including the built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.” The American Association of Retired Persons considers livable communities as age-friendly for young and old alike.

Along with economic opportunities, a leading stimulus in moving to urban cen20

ters is, “More people are looking for a sociable environment where they can walk out of their door to the shops or transit and be among others they recognize who also recognize them,” observes Suzanne Lennard, director of the International Making Cities Livable Conferences, LLC, in Portland, Oregon. “People who have traveled abroad, especially to Europe, and tasted the quality of life possible in a truly livable, walkable, beautiful and sociable city, often want to find such a place to live themselves.”

Following are a few examples of America’s many livable cities. More are transitioning and evolving as city planners, government officials, businesses and nonprofit community organizations strive to make their hometowns both people- and planet-friendly, often through public and private partnerships.

Street-Scene Renaissance

In Pittsburgh, revitalization is transforming 10,000 parcels of vacant or abandoned land—some where steel mills formerly operated—into greenspace, bike lanes and other enticing and productive public areas.

LIVABLE COMMUNITIES WE LOVE

“Biking and our food scene have exploded,” says Chris Sandvig, director of policy with the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, which advocates for equitable urban revitalization through their Vacant Property Working Group, helping communities access blighted areas for pennies on the dollar. “We’re now one of the top 10 bicycling commuter cities in the country.

People also come here as food tourists due to vibrant local agricultural activity.”

“A related ideal is to create compact, human-scale, mixed-use urban centers in the suburbs that are less expensive to construct—and thus remain more affordable— while placing shops, schools, parks, services, workplaces and public transit within walking and biking distance,” Lennard notes. “This ensures a healthy, affordable and high quality of life for all; suburban, as well as urban.”

Fast-growing Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, is following suit. “After years of watching the suburbs sprawl into subdivisions with large lawns, privacy fences and cul-de-sacs, we created a vibrant central core with apartments, townhomes, condos and new options for smaller homes—all within walking distance or a short bike ride to new places to work, shop and dine,” explains Mayor James Brainard. The design efforts serve people instead of cars.

“Carmel has spent the last 20-plus years building more than 900 miles of trails and multi-use pathways, enabling residents to commute by bicycle to work and enjoy easy access to a growing number of parks and recreational areas,” says Brainard. To facilitate traffic flow, some 100 roundabouts replaced stoplights and four-way stops.

“Reducing traffic congestion has improved our air quality, and saved gasoline and lives.” A new, mixed-use downtown Arts and Design District includes a Center for the Performing Arts with a Center Green that hosts a farmers’ market in summer and an outdoor Christkindlmarkt and outdoor skating rink in winter.

“The old way of doing things in which cities and towns sat back and let the market dictate how a community should be grown must come to an end,” remarks Brainard, advocating the benefits of local governance.

Smart City Advantages

Key elements of smart cities sensors, cameras, data analytics and powerful networks that capture and relay vital information—help them become more energy-efficient or quicker to respond to environmental and residential issues. Such products highlighted the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Reducing traffic can also contribute to safer highways and shorter commutes with decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

“Citizens are using apps to monitor issues and alert city managers, improving the livability of their communities,” explains Steve Koenig, senior director of market research with the Consumer Technology Association.

In Boston, the app BOS:311 allows residents to instantaneously notify government departments of pollution concerns, like blocked drains and other environmental or community needs, feeding the information directly into the city’s work order system via their mobile phone. This real-time collaboration results in a cleaner, safer and healthier city.

The Envision Charlotte project encompasses interactive kiosks in 64 businesses and government buildings citywide, gathering energy usage data for office buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So far, energy consumption has dropped 19 percent, saving companies about $26 million. The program has strengthened economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

Nature in the City

Some cities have focused on the natural environment for improving local livability while mitigating contributions to climate change. Forested open spaces, wetlands and protected watersheds improve air quality, protect drinking water and buffer intense storms. Such areas also connect more people with nature and engage them in communal and healthy outdoor recreation.

Portland, Oregon, boasts more than 10,000 acres of parks, plus an innovative Biketown sharing program that has facilitated 160,000 bike trips since its launch in 2016.

The city’s Bike Bill requires all new streets to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians by design. Portland also embraces urban gardens and allows residents to raise chickens, bees, goats or rabbits in their backyards.

No one wants to live where pollution runs unchecked or water is unsafe to drink.

Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program works to keep stormwater out of sewers and reduce rainwater runoff through decentralized soil-based and plant-based systems, including pervious pavement, green roofs and rain gardens. Begun in 2011, its goal is to reduce rainwater runoff by 85 percent by 2036. Rainwater has become a valuable community resource.

The program is just one of many ways that the City of Brotherly Love is transforming itself into one of the greenest in the United States. Overseen by the city’s Office of Sustainability, Greenworks Philadelphia devises long-term sustainability strategies that encompass eight facets, including clean and efficient energy, carbon-neutrality and zero waste. Preparations are already underway to cope with a hotter, wetter future.

Preserving a Sense of Place

Making communities livable goes beyond infrastructure. Actions usually involve preserving, protecting and enhancing what appeals to residents. Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one example of many where livability priorities are guided by the values of its residents and its sense of place.

“From our historic public square and marketplaces to outdoor cafes, farmers’ markets and community festivals; from human-scale architecture and balanced transportation to pedestrian and bicycle networks, this place represents shared values,” says Mayor Javier M. Gonzales.

“Santa Fe is also full of public art. The city is designed to be safe, creative and inspiring for young and old, families of all kinds and everyone else that comes to see us.”

Good Life as Kids See It

Ultimately, making cities move livable for children can make them highly livable for all. “Children need the same things from a city that we all need, but their needs are greater than ours,” says Lennard. “The environment a child grows up in shapes their health and their mental and social development for the rest of their lives. Our modern, unwalkable suburban environ-

ments are contributing to childhood obesity, which has been widely linked to chronic diseases that in the past were only associated with old age.”

She notes, “Children need the exercise of walking or biking to school. They need safe streets so they can become independent and explore their neighborhoods; sidewalks and other outdoor areas where they can play, meet friends and interact with adults in the community; easy access to nature; beauty in their environment; and intriguing architecture, works of art and other places to stimulate their affection and imagination. As they become teenagers, they need access by foot or bike to a wide variety of resources to broaden their horizons. Don’t we all need these things?”

Well Designed Buildings as a Statement of Healthy Living

by Scott Rumel

I

n keeping with this month’s theme of livable communities, it is worth noting that the practice of good architectural design contributes to healthy living and livable communities in many ways.

Thoughtful building design can be livable, sustainable, maintainable, affordable, valuable and remarkable. Good architectural design intersects with the themes of livable communities, health and wellness and a healthy environment.

A movement for sustainable design and construction has been gaining momentum for more than 20 years, in parallel with concern over conservation of resources and global climate change. A program to embrace sustainable design that has been in place for commercial and institutional building projects is known as “LEED” (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The LEED process actively keeps score of credits for all aspects of sustainable design related to issues such as site design, selection of recyclable materials, water conservation—and also energy efficiency in its various forms, such as building orientation, insulation, active and passive solar design, lighting design, natural ventilation and heating and air conditioning design.

The good news is that this formalized approach to sustainable design is being

22

Tucson Edition

absorbed into everyday design practice and philosophy without the burden of formal LEED documentation, so that any client should expect the underpinning of this design philosophy to apply to their project, whether it is a home, an office, a commercial building or an institutional project.

The concept of well designed buildings as a statement of healthy living can be analyzed in several categories. There are psychological and physiological benefits to good design. Then there are sustainable design practices that benefit health and the environment. A final consideration is how design concepts unique to our Sonoran Desert environment serve our health and wellness.

NaturalTucson.com

Good design usually begins with a functional response to the client’s needs and should create a floor plan that suits their lifestyle/work style. A building that functions well for the occupants is valuable in its contribution to less stress, also supported with studies indicating that features such as color, natural daylight, acoustical performance and orientation of the building to capture beneficial views (or eliminate unwanted views) all contribute to a sense of balance and well-being.

Sustainable Design and Environmental Benefits

There is a long list of sustainable design features to consider in building design.

Examples include site planning that preserves natural vegetation, drainage design that might utilize rainwater harvesting for landscaping, or just sending rainwater runoff directly to landscape areas. Another example is orientation of the building and designing roof overhangs to take best advantage of shading and daylight control while using Low E (Low Emissivity) insulated glass judiciously.

Utilizing building materials that are locally available or have high recycle content also contribute to sustainable design practices and often result in cost savings as well. Passive and active solar design strategies can contribute to overall energy performance and energy savings in regard to life cycle cost performance.

Consideration for Design in the Sonoran Desert

The circumstances of our climate and natural environment in the Sonoran Desert provide unique challenges and opportunities for both urban design and suburban design projects. Appreciating dynamic views to the mountains, shade and shelter from both extreme heat and torrential downpours, and water conservation, are all considered integral to sustainable design in the desert.

Often our best examples of effective techniques are drawn from the oldest Native American and Spanish Colonial structures and settlements, where sustainable concepts evolved centuries before our own contemporary appreciation for their significance. A look at how indigenous plants and wildlife inhabit and survive in the desert also gives clues to effective mechanisms for harmonious and healthy lifestyles in our climate.

How a Good Design Process Fits it All Together

All of these observations and concepts are platitudes if the final built design does not satisfy the spirit and imagination of the client’s vision as interpreted by the architect.

Generally, the most successful designs engage the client in the design process by eliciting goals, needs and budget guidelines that are realized through a collective decision-making process. This often involves a look at options and alternatives to arrive at the best solutions.

The natural intersection between good building design and healthy living in the desert is becoming more commonly pursued, and maybe even more commonly appreciated than lipstick on a javelina.

All-Natural Beauty

Health Concerns Revolutionize the Cosmetics Industry

by Marlaina Donato

F

rom red carpets to Teen Vogue magazine, the natural beauty trend has taken the industry by storm. Consumer whims may have sparked its beginnings more than a decade ago, but demand is now spiking profits into the billions.

“Consumer need is influencing retailers to offer cleaner formulas reflecting firm eco-values,” says Karen Behnke, the pioneering entrepreneur who founded Juice Beauty, in San Rafael, California. Behnke aimed to create meaningful change in the industry when she assembled her dream team 13 years ago. The company now owns a trailblazing patent and sets the standard for clinical organics.

“We’re excited that traditional department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Holt Renfrew are adding our products to their beauty departments,” says Behnke, who attributes Juice Beauty’s tremendous growth in recent years to a surge of interest in chemical-free, luxury alternatives.

Natural Replaces Toxic A recent Green Beauty Barometer online survey revealed that more than half of women want their skincare products to be all-natural, a result likely driven by the scientific information age (see KariGran.com/ pages/greenbeauty for details). Reputable scientific studies revealing parabens in breast cancer biopsies have demonstrated that everything applied to the skin also enters the bloodstream, hence the effectiveness of dermal nicotine and birth control patches. Thus, it can be alarming to realize that the average woman will unknowingly consume seven pounds of lipstick containing petroleum-based emollients, synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes during a lifetime, undoubtedly another reason consumers are switching to natural options.

Katey Denno, a Los Angeles makeup artist to the stars, noticed cosmetic red flags early in her career. “The first time I turned over a palette that most makeup artists carry and saw specific colors that

NaturalTucson.com

couldn’t be used on eyes or lips, I was confused; if something isn’t safe for lips or eyes, how can it be good for any part of us?” queries Denno, who switched from social work to makeup artistry 11 years ago. “The change in the industry has been substantial. Now green is mainstream, and most artists have included some green beauty brands in their kits.”

Millennials continue to drive consumer demand for higher standards.

“Retailers understand that the skincare/ makeup landscape is changing,” advises Behnke. “Traditional brands are no longer attracting younger consumers that are demanding organic, clinically validated products.”

Denno concurs, stating, “The spotlight on clean products comes from the growing acknowledgement that we can and must do all we can to lower our overall toxic load.”

Demand Escalates Women are fueling the natural beauty movement, yet more men than ever are also seeking healthy alternatives. Grooming products with unisex packaging and fragrances are among top sellers. Informed teen and 20-something buyers are inclined to choose people- and eco-friendly brands that are also cruelty-free.

A wide selection of aluminum-free, natural, personal care products including underarm deodorants are showing up in supermarkets. Women are ditching toxic hair dyes and going silver to avoid thinning hair and allergies, and unwittingly, creating a new fashion statement. Plus, there’s growing interest in DIY cosmetics using everyday good-for-you ingredients found in the kitchen.

Artisan perfumes are gaining popularity among women that want the mystery and allure of fragrance without the side effects of manmade, chemical-based brands. “Some new customers are frustrated by commercial products giving them headaches, while others say that they just don’t like perfume, when what they actually don’t like is synthetic fragrance chemicals,” says Ananda Wilson, a botanical

perfumer and owner of Gather Perfume, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

“It’s inspiring when they smell real plant scents and see how their world lights up! The molecules in natural perfumes are active and interact with personal chemistry, so they unfold differently on each wearer, creating a unique signature and experience.”

Wilson ventured into botanical blends when both awareness and supplies of appropriate ingredients were scarce. “Perfume history is largely rooted in natural materials, but until recently, there was a mass blackout of this precious lineage.

When I started, there was barely anything available, and only through a handful of aromatherapy companies,” she explains.

Now, Wilson bases her products on botanical infusions from plants she’s grown or collected, including wild beach roses, clover and spring poplar buds.

It only takes a whiff to dispel the myth that natural perfumes lack sophistication or tenacity. “Naturals have a breadth of possibilities—opulent white florals, fresh and clean, or dirty and smoky,” expounds Wilson.

Eco-beauty is emerging from conscious lifestyle choices and creating the next era of cosmetics. “It’s fun to be called a pioneer in organic beauty,” muses Behnke. “Our products, employees and happy customers comprise an encouraging accomplishment.”

Skin Ages Well When We Age Well

by Robyn Landis

A

chieving skin that ages well and continues to be beautiful throughout our lives doesn’t come from just one miracle product or one method.

Everything that works about our health, fitness and vitality is a result of everything we do. Everything affects everything—so focus on an integration of nourishing practices: good food, movement, rest, natural medicine, hydration, meditation, time outdoors, emotional well-being/expression, art/creativity and more.

It’s not that products don’t matter or that “bio-hacks” can’t enhance. Product quality matters greatly. But even the best products won’t, by themselves, compensate for poor self-care—no matter what they promise.

Skin reflects health. Food, sleep and exercise all have a tremendous impact on skin.

Moving our body regularly does wonders for skin, especially at certain intensities. For example, doing small amounts of high-intensity interval or “burst” training a couple of times a week will rev circulation and hormone health—but get cleared by a health pro and see a qualified trainer. Over-exercising can dull the skin; the right balance is key.

Certain foods and nutrients certainly help. It’s mostly the same stuff that’s good for everything: lots of veggies, some fruit, moderate healthy fats, quality plant proteins, mineralrich beans and legumes. Other foods and practices are destructive. “Dieting” or in any way restricting or “starving” ourselves is a surefire way to sap skin radiance. And, almost nothing gives us the glow that a good night’s sleep does. Even meditation can boost skin health.

When all of these elements are tended to, the synergy and interplay between them is powerful. It works, and can be far more fun, effective and real than covering up with lots of makeup and doing surgery—not that there’s anything wrong with those things if you enjoy them. Some cosmetics can further enhance an already healthy body/face/self, but relying on those things in lieu of the glow that comes from inside is missing out on way bigger potential.

The bonus is: pretty much everything that’s good for our skin is good for everything else, too. Everything that will slow the skin’s aging will slow aging—period. If we age well, our skin will reflect it. It’s not divorced. Nothing is.

So, don’t treat each health concern and wellness interest as its own discrete, isolated thing. Treat the body well as a whole, and all of it will bloom.

but a little silence goes a long way. Allow the person to find their way to the points they want to make.

Mistake: Offering advice and suggestions too quickly. This one is a communication killer. When we give advice to someone who just needs to express, we increase any distress the person is already experiencing.

The Art of Truly Listening

Mistakes and Remedies for Being a Good Listener

M

by Bill White

any of us have struggled with being a good listener. We may know the frustration when we aren’t listened to, are interrupted, given unwarranted advice or criticized. The breakdown in being heard results in feeling lonely, unknown and disconnected from others. Not being heard can also leave us feeling angry and resentful. Often, we just give up on expressing ourselves.

Deep listening is an art. It does not come naturally for most of us. Just as learning to play a musical instrument requires dedication and practice, listening is a social skill that requires a similar dedication. When done with skill, listening is a gateway to connection, discovery, healing, playfulness and magic.

Deep listening can be briefly described as: surrendering your agenda— having your agenda be about following the other person’s agenda; allowing the speaker 26

Tucson Edition

to have their experience, their thoughts, their emotions—whatever presents itself; and bringing relaxed, focused attention to every word and message being expressed.

Of course, everyday interactions often don’t lend themselves to this level of communication, however, we can also find ways to bring depth to casual conversations.

Six Listening Mistakes and Six Remedies

1

Mistake: Interrupting, changing the subject or commenting too quickly.

Remedy: Silence and focused attention. It is an interesting coincidence that the words “listen” and “silent” have the exact same letters. We don’t have to be completely silent when we’re deeply listening to another,

NaturalTucson.com

Remedy: Allow the speaker to have their experience. Don’t attempt to fix anything or give advice unless it’s wanted. Often, solutions to problems will occur organically as the speaker unravels themselves.

At other times, simply being listened to without interference is the solution. When we listen and allow another to freely express without judging, we have provided the “fix” they needed. If we are going to offer solutions, first ask the person if they are open to suggestions.

3

Mistake: Judging—having negative assessments of the person. Even when we don’t speak our judgment, the judgment will come across to the speaker and will compromise or shut down the conversation.

Remedy: Bring a spirit of acceptance and allowance to the interaction. We are going to have judgments, but keep them in check when possible. Acceptance is the premier component to bring to a conversation. One tip is to avoid asking questions that begin with “why”, which implies a negative judgment. Instead, start the question with the word “what”, i.e. “What was it that had you take the dog on a different path today?”

4

Mistake: Messing with emotions.

Minimizing, soothing, stepping over, or judging the speaker’s difficult emotions will not create the result we want.

The speaker will either get angry or shut down.

Remedy: Allow and explore emotions. Go into the emotions, not away from them.

Sadness, fear, confusion, hopelessness and anger need to be accepted and allowed—

When done with skill, listening is a gateway to connection, discovery, healing, playfulness and magic. even embraced. When feelings are allowed to be, they have a chance to soften—or even disappear.

5

Mistake: Making the conversation about you and your agenda, bringing the attention away from the speaker and onto yourself. Often, we are not listening because we are giving thought to what we want to say next.

Remedy: Follow the speaker’s lead. If you do speak about you, have your message contribute to where the other person is going. For example, you might share something personal and vulnerable about you that makes them feel less alone in their challenges and flaws. Or, you may on occasion share a personal story that conveys to the speaker that you relate to their message.

6

Mistake: Not understanding something the person has said, but letting the person continue talking.

Remedy: Commit yourself to understanding every single word, every message. If we don’t understand a word or a message, then ask for clarity. Or make a request: “Could you say what you just said in different words?” If we carry question marks during the conversation, our brain will get overloaded with unanswered questions. We also won’t be as good a listener.

Our world is in desperate need of good communicators. Many life problems can be nipped in the bud, or prevented, simply with good communication skills.

Remember that when listening, we are offering the speaker the gift of our attention.

Be aware that much of communication occurs on a non-physical, unseen level. Words

are a small representation of a rich array of thoughts, feelings and desires. Very little of the unseen will be expressed in words. Listen for the unsaid messages. We should not assume we already know most everything about the person in front of us. Assume that there is much that you don’t know about this person, and that there is much that the person doesn’t know about themselves.

Bring an attitude of curiosity, exploration and discovery to the conversation.

Obviously, your every conversation will often not be a deep process where there is a designated speaker and a designated listener. To further develop expertise in listening, one may find it useful to have a listening partner where you both practice your listening skills.

alking through the double turquoise doors at Tucson’s Santa Rita Springs for the first time, Kathy Jendrezewski had no idea what she would experience. The welcome sitting areas beckoned her, but the pool was what she was interested in. Suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and the whole range of things that come with those syndromes, moving her body had been painful for a long time. She fell often, had no energy, was depressed and had been feeling isolated.

The pool house created a feeling of belonging, with a waterfall, plants around the pool and a southwestern mural outside the window. “When I got into the pool, the relief was immediate. I could move, I could Kathy Jendrezewski stretch, I could move like I hadn’t for a long time—without pain. The water itself was wonderful,” Jendrezewski describes. “The other part of it was the wonderful women I met. I had expected everyone in such a group to moan and groan about the pain and other challenges they were facing, but there wasn’t any of that. Instead, I found the new information exchanged was invaluable. The support, though, is what surprised me.

Authentic, caring women were there to listen, encourage and best of all, laugh.”

Sometimes the group of women meditates, sometimes they just visit, but

throughout each session, they are moving. Using aqua arm weights and noodles to aid in exercise routines, each individual does their work on their own. A group might include people with all kinds of ailments, some strengthening to prepare for surgery, some with fibromyalgia, MS, arthritis and other mystery conditions. People who can barely walk may even ditch their walker after just a few months of doing work in the water.

Six years later, Jendrezewski continues to go to the pool twice a week.

She even started Waterbabies Freestyle Poolsharing, as her way to help other ill, isolated, pain-ridden women. “I found near ecstasy, and want others to feel that too. I make a point of never missing a session,” she enthuses. “I continue to be drawn to the relief, and mesmerizing comfort I feel at Santa Rita Springs. As one of my Waterbabies said, ‘Santa Rita is not only a therapy pool, but offers support for healing.’”

Kathy Jendrezewski facilitates Waterbabies Freestyle Poolsharing at Santa Rita Springs, located at 2301 N. Santa Rita Ave., Tucson, and can be reached at 520-577-7377 or KathyNina7377@gmail.com.

HEALTHY SUMMER HYDRATION

Kids Love These Homemade Drinks

A

by Judith Fertig

t day camp or the pool, on the playing field or in the backyard, kids can get really thirsty, especially as temperatures climb. Although filtered water is always a good choice, sugary, carbonated, artificially colored and flavored beverages can be tempting. Having homemade options ready can entice kids to stay hydrated in a healthy way.

Clued-in Professionals “As a sports nutritionist and mother of active kids, I know there’s a lot of misinformation out there, and I get all kinds of questions from parents about what drinks are best for kids,” says Jackie Berning, Ph.D., a registered dietitian, sports nutrition consultant and professor of health science at the University of Colorado, in

Colorado Springs. “Parents need to know that all beverages are not created equal when it comes to hydrating them. The best [healthful] beverages taste good when your child is active, so encourage their drinking more of them,” she says.

According to the National Alliance for Youth Sports, the recommended beverage contents for active kids during sports and other activities should contain at least 100 milligrams (mg) of sodium and at least 28 mg of potassium per eight ounces. It should be noncarbonated.

We asked two moms keen on nutrition how they include these elements in drinks that kids will like.

Mom Picks Michele Olivier, the mother of daughters Elliette and Parker, views herself as both a lover of food and a control freak. The Denver, Colorado, recipe blogger started off making food for her baby and toddler. As her kids grew and their nutritional needs changed, she created new recipes, including healthy sports drinks that both balance electrolytes and hydrate.

While Elliette loves water and has no trouble staying hydrated, Parker loves juice, so Mom had to “make something that looks like juice, but is healthy,” says Olivier.

Four main ingredients are a little frozen fruit left over from breakfast smoothies, a bit of honey for sweetening, a dash of

With homemade drinks, we know exactly what is—and what isn’t—in them.

They can be made in batches and kept in the refrigerator. Dessinger relates, “I’ve found that when I make a batch with honey, which is naturally antimicrobial, and store it in the coldest part of the fridge, my homemade sports drink lasts for at least a week.”

reeks, streams and rivers flow into ponds, lakes and oceans, carrying pollution. Keeping large bodies of water clean starts with local waterways.

As awareness of this need rises, some rivers in Africa, India, New Zealand and elsewhere are being protected and recognized as living entities, with rights, values and the legal status of people. While court cases brought by commercial interests are challenging such decisions, progress continues on many fronts.

“The Fox River’s been our treasure since Native Americans paddled there,” says Barbara Smits, part-owner of Old Northwest Frontier Tours, provider of self-guided auto, bicycle and walking tours via eBook, in De Pere, Wisconsin. “To see people sail, boat, ice fish or sightsee here again is a joy.”

The Fox River Cleanup Project, a multiyear effort covering 13 miles that began in 2009, reduces the health and environmental risks from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in the sediment.

Fox River, is currently stewarded under the 2000 Lake Sturgeon Management Plan.

Recent meetings have sought citizen input for updates in managing sturgeon stock.

In Athens County, Ohio, Michelle Shively, in Trimble, is Sunday Creek’s watershed coordinator. “Every minute, 850 to 1,000 gallons of polluted water from an underground mine pool flows into the creek, turning the water orange from iron waste. Once the iron is removed, you need to do something with it,” she says.

Guy Riefler, Ph.D., an associate professor of civil engineering, and John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of a painting and drawing program, both with Ohio University, in Athens, found a way to wash, dry and pulverize recovered iron. It will be sold to Gamblin Artists Colors to make oil paints for artists in mustardy ochre, rusty red and violet tones. Not yet widely available, 500 sample tubes of Reclaimed Earth Violet were featured at an initial fundraiser.

“Cleaning water is expensive, but now we’ve turned the problem into a method to fund more work,” says Shively.

Throughout history, river dams have

been built to provide power or irrigation, prevent flooding and provide municipal water needs. Of approximately 80,000 three-foot-tall or higher U.S. dams, only about 2,500 produce hydropower. Removal of old dams no longer serving their original function can restore entire watershed ecosystems, provide habitat for fish and wildlife, add jobs, improve water quality, reinstate natural sediment and nutrient flow, and save taxpayer dollars.

Built in 1929 and abandoned after World War II, demolition of an Eklutna River dam, in Alaska, began in 2016. Curtis McQueen, an Eklutna tribal leader and CEO of Eklutna Inc., which now owns the dam, reported that 300,000 cubic yards of sediment had amassed there, along with junked cars, TVs and other trash. The tribe is the first in the nation to be involved in such a massive project, intended to restore its historic salmon population.

In 2017, dams were removed in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts,

A map at Tinyurl.com/DamRemovals shows dams taken down since 1916.

“The good news is that in meetings like the St. Louis River Summit, in Superior, Wisconsin, in March, clean water wasn’t viewed only in a strictly scientific sense, but added the human factor to produce more diverse solutions,” says Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D., the Monterey Bay, California, author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. “The bad news is that most projects are funded, directly or indirectly, by the federal government. Cuts add chal-

lenges and stress to looking for solutions.”

Cities like Pittsburgh, Superior and Duluth are among many that are protecting, restoring and rejuvenating riverfronts with increased public access, thus rekindling residents’ love for and recognition of the mental and physical benefits provided by their waterways.

“We’re in a period of big ideas,” says Nichols. Two can be easily implemented.

First, he explains, don’t build right on the water; instead, sit in the “second row”.

Second, gain perspective by experiencing changes in waterways.

“One way to do this is to spend an hour a day, or even an hour a week, in, on or near the water. Take someone new with you each time,” suggests Nichols. “You’ll see how best to value, promote and defend our right to clean water.”

Then teach the kids.

RUNNING WITH THE KIDS Strengthens Body, Mind and Family Spirit

C

by Marlaina Donato

ombining regular exercise with quality family time can be an enjoyable and fun way to realize a healthier lifestyle.

Running together in fresh air, preferably in natural settings, allows children as young as 5 to safely join in.

Physical and Emotional Perks

Families and coaches agree that running benefits both body and psyche. “Running as a family is an incredibly bonding experience, putting aside some of the usual conflicts and perceived hierarchies and just coming together,” says William Pullen, a London, England, psychotherapist and author of Running with Mindfulness: Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) to Improve Low-mood, Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. “Running also gives us a place where we can develop skills like building confidence and competency.”

Marc Bloom, of Princeton, New Jersey, author of Young Runners: The Complete Guide to Healthy Running for Kids From 5 to 18 and The Runner’s Bible, concurs, stating, “Running as a family can give parents the opportunity to be good role models by instilling values of health, fitness and togetherness.”

Experts emphasize the fun factor. Pullen encourages both parents and kids to get out of their heads and into their bodies.

“Concentrating on breath, posture, sensation and location all help make running mindful,” he suggests.

“The important thing is to show up. It’s about participation, not breaking personal bests,” Pullen continues. Kids can play a game while running, such as silently counting steps, trees or other runners.” Mindfulness can also include sharing how it feels to run and meeting challenges along the way.

Bloom suggests tuning in to nature. “Being in beautiful surroundings or watching for animals can promote mindfulness,” he says. “It can be spiritual.”

Safe Start

For beginners, experts recommend approaching running as a desirable pastime and adopting a slow, easy pace. “Always make running fun, not a chore,” encourages Bloom. “Frame it as being outside, playing and sharing with friends and family. Make a game of it as much as possible.”

Whether a family chooses to run in the park or in a community race, experts stress the importance of not setting goals.

“Make it pleasurable. Don’t worry about time and distance. Start with short distances, maybe a block or two for novice runners or very young children,” advises running coach Jeremy Sanders, from Winchester, Virginia. “Be patient. Some days, the kids will get cramps. They may whine or get moody. Other days, they will be happy and content. Don’t let one bad run ruin the opportunity to try again another time.”

Running coaches and seasoned runners agree that it is wise to tailor runs according to age and fitness levels. “Kids can begin at school age, 5 or 6; but start them with a few minutes and then

add more, up to 15 minutes to a half an hour or so a few days a week. Always mix in sprints for short attention spans. Keep it simple. No fancy running shoes are needed when starting, just regular sneakers,” advises Bloom. “For teens, 30 to 45 minutes at a time a few times a week is fine, provided that they have bona fide running shoes.”

Inspiration

Finding inspiration as a family can include running for worthy causes; most communities host charity runs. “This can become a focal point for getting in shape, raising money and running for the greater good, not just yourself,” says Bloom.

Mindful running presents regular opportunities to explore new places, focus on details that often go unnoticed and make exercise an active meditation for all involved. “Show kids how to notice what is going on around them when they run,” suggests Pullen. “You can read up and educate yourselves on trees, geology or the change of seasons so they feel a powerful sense of connection and freedom.”

Whether running as a family is motivated by a desire to stay fit, get someplace or simply share more quality time, being in the present moment is most important. “Life is not about striving all the time,” exhorts Pullen. “Take the kids out. Keep it fun and make it into an adventure.”

s of last year, 90 million dogs lived in American homes. Including cats, birds, fish, small animals and reptiles, the grand total is 393 million, reports the American Pet Products Association. Pets are considered family members by 95 percent of their people. Accordingly, pets are a key consideration in choosing a friendly place to live or visit.

The personal finance website WalletHub analyzed the most pet-friendly U.S. cities encompassing criteria inclusive of access to veterinarians and cost, pet insurance rates, pet-friendly restaurants, pet-centric businesses, dog parks and animal shelters. SmartAsset, a personal finance technology company, ranked cities by dog parks, pet-friendly restaurants and stores, walkability, weather and housing costs. Unsurprisingly, many high picks are in warmer climates.

What to Seek

“First, look for pet-friendly landlords. Space to play, socialize and exercise animals is next on my list, followed by breweries and restaurants that allow dogs on their patios,”

says Alexandra Bassett, a professional dog trainer and owner of Dog Savvy Los Angeles. “I hike off-leash in Runyon Canyon and we visit the Pawbar at Pussy & Pooch, a pet lifestyle boutique, to mingle and sample treats. Food is the fastest way to make a dog comfortable in just about any setting.”

Irvine and Carlsbad, California, and Portland, Maine, are among the first cities to ban use of toxic pesticides in public areas and homes, following pressure from local groups. Being closer to the ground and smaller in size, pets suffer adverse reactions faster than humans. Contact local environmental groups to help ban harmful insecticides and herbicides in public areas.

In Pasco County, Florida, Epperson Community homes exemplify eco- and pet-friendly planning, with open spaces and solar power-lit trails for jogging and walking. Birdhouses throughout the property welcome wild feathered friends.

Yoga for Amputees

by Kim Carter

Y

oga is increasingly more accessible for diverse populations, one of which is amputees. Whether taught in a clinical setting, at a conference, or in a small group class, amputees learn modifications and adaptations that empower them to eventually attend a standard yoga class. Marsha Therese Danzig, founder of Yoga for Amputees, is the first amputee yoga teacher in the U.S., and herself an amputee. She says that part of the journey through limb loss is feeling normal again, and the ability to participate in yoga nurtures a growing sense of normalcy.

Yoga benefits amputees in the same way it benefits anyone, by developing strength, balance and flexibility in the body they have now. Balance is especially important, as fear of falling is one of the bigger challenges for amputees. They also 38

receive similar benefits in terms of anxiety and stress reduction. But Danzig notes that, in addition, yoga helps with pain and trauma management, increased confidence and, perhaps most importantly, a return to a sense of wholeness.

Necessary modifications depend on a variety of factors, including how many limbs were lost and where (above or below the joint), prior fitness level, type and level of comfort of prosthetic, and level of phantom and/or chronic pain. Muscle imbalances are common due to over or under use and adapting to the way muscles have been reattached during surgery.

Frustration can easily arise, so cultivating mindfulness helps amputees take things slowly and approach yoga with a sense of exploration, creativity and self-compassion. Matthew Sanford, founder of Mind Body Solutions, which provides accessible

yoga to those with spinal cord injuries, says yoga is “being able to work with integrity within the body you have, without attachment to the way that you think that the pose should look.”

The Amputee Coalition of America estimates there are 2 million amputees in the U.S., with that number expected to double by 2050. The main causes of limb loss are vascular disease, which includes diabetes and peripheral artery disease; trauma; and cancer. Through training programs like Danzig’s, yoga teachers learn to help amputees discover the tools and confidence they need to reconnect with their bodies, thrive and reclaim a sense of identity.

The Amputee Coalition will hold its National Conference Thursday, July 12, through Saturday, July 14, in Tucson. Each morning begins with a yoga class accessible for all levels. Breakout sessions, workshops and activities empower amputees to live more fully with limb loss and build community. Topics include: overcoming challenges, maximizing function and mobility, gait analysis, fall prevention, and pain management. In addition to daily yoga, there will be a swim class and adaptive golf. Spouses and caregivers are welcome.

Continuing education credits (CECs) are available for healthcare professionals.

HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE?

DOING NOTHING Why Timeouts Matter

I

by April Thompson

n a harried world where our work is never done, it’s tough to take timeouts to do nothing. Yet, when we pump the brakes on Americans’ obsessive drive, we discover fresh productivity, creativity and contentment.

“We’re socialized to pride ourselves on accomplishment and achievement, yet when you step back, you realize doing nothing produces a valuable currency, especially in enhanced mental health,” says Colleen Long, a Boston psychologist and author of Happiness in B.A.L.A.N.C.E: What We Know Now About Happiness.

Italians call it la dolce far niente, or the sweetness of doing nothing, while the Dutch word niksen translates as “doing something without a purpose”. Here are a few tips to reclaim the art of be-ing over do-ing.

Create a “do nothing” ritual. Set

aside a special time and make it known.

It can start the morning or wind down an evening. It may be meditating a few minutes or enjoying a bit of aromatherapy, wherever the heart leads.

Relax into the moment. Acknowledge

guilty feelings when they arise, but don’t heed them. It takes time to undo mental programming and learn to quiet the voice urging, “Don’t just stand there, do something!”

Mindfully do nothing. It’s not about

YOU BET DOWNLOAD THE NATURAL AWAKENINGS APP TODAY

vegging out with passive activities like watching TV or checking email. It’s a time to come alive to our senses and surroundings, whether listening to music or peoplewatching, free of distractions from phone calls or anxious thoughts.

Doing something is okay. The aim

is to let go of the compulsion to check off every item on our to-do list—but that doesn’t mean blankly staring off into space.

These are purposeful moments without a specific purpose. Doodle in a sketchbook, wander around the neighborhood or lie in the grass and look at clouds. Spontaneously go with the flow.

There’s no one way or right way to do nothing. “Just by carving out space,

you’ll get a benefit even if it doesn’t feel like you’re doing it right or perfectly,” advises Long. It looks different for different people.

“Before I had kids, my ‘nothing time’ might be just being out in nature or simply doing one thing mindfully at a time, like washing dishes. Now I incorporate the principle into family time. One day a week, I shut off the phone, get on the floor with my kids and just let life get messy.”
