Empower Your Mind with Alpha Brain Wave Technology “Wants & Needs”

This audio program addresses sugar cravings, portion control, appreciation and respect for the body, and healthy food choices. It also is designed to develop a heightened awareness of the distinction between desires and wants and real physiological and emotional needs and hunger. Once we become aware of our true needs, we no longer mindlessly use food to meet needs other than our physiological needs for nutritional nourishment.

One CD $19.95

“Self Love” This audio program contains guided imagery that allows for the opportunity to get in touch with different aspects of the self that may be affecting habits and behavior outside your conscious awareness. In this recording, you are guided to use your imagination to meet the inner guide or higher self, the inner child and the inner teen. By acknowledging these aspects of yourself, accepting them and then bringing them together in harmony, you can then have the experience of self-acceptance and self-love.

One CD $19.95

“Mind Mint” This audio program provides an experience where you can gain awareness of thoughts and beliefs that are operating beneath the surface and are affecting your reality. As you listen you go on a metaphorical journey to the garden of your mind where negative thought “weeds” are encountered and replaced by healthy and positive seeds of joy, peach and well-being.

One CD $19.95

“Stress Solutions” This audio program explains the mechanism of the stress response and how it affects your physiology.

Following are five easy-to-learn exercises that are clinically proven to counter the stress response and can be easily integrated into your healthy lifestyle.

One CD $19.95

“Go Grab Your Shoes” This audio program is an upbeat exercise companion; the latin beat combined with classical guitar contains music along with positive affirmations that have the effect of strengthening the will and motivating you to exercise.

One CD $19.95

“Sweet Dreams”

Food for Thought (6 CD set) How Does It Work?

The Food for Thought CDs empower you to connect with you inner resources to experience comfort and healing. Users can expect immediate relaxation interruption of the stress response, which when prolonged, can cause and/or exacerbate illness. Users can expect an enhanced sense of balanced wellbeing and positive outlook with one exposure, building after repeated use.

These CDs incorporate original Healing Music & Sounds from Nature, they contain Linguistic Specific Content and they utilize Binaural Audio to entrain Alpha Brain Waves. The Binaural Audio works as follows: your brain learns best when you are relaxed and alert and in what scientists call an “Alpha State.” It is often called the “super learning” state. When tones at slightly different frequencies are played separately, one into each ear, the difference is perceived as low frequency pulses or “beats.” When the beat frequency corresponds to the “Alpha” range, the brain resonates to it; the brainwaves follow toward that “Alpha” frequency and the brain naturally relaxes into an “Alpha” state, creating a mind-body sense of relaxation and peace.

When you listen to these CDs through stereo headphones, the soothing music and nature sounds, in combination with the binaural effect, induce sympathetic frequencies of desired brainwave activity. This helps you quickly reach a peaceful and receptive state in which your subconscious mind is most open to new ideas, new insights and positive change.

Sound Science The binaural beat effect was first reported as long ago as the nineteenth century and has been of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing. The “frequency-following response” was first identified in EEG research (Smith, Marsh & Brown, 1975) and is today the subject of widespread study at major universities (including Rutgers University, University of Pennsylvania and the University of Sussex) as well as institutions exploring the frontiers of mind-body medicine.

HOW IS It Backed By Science?

This treatment is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as an effective and safe mind body therapy. Success has been documented in multiple scientific studies: Harvard Medical School with cardiac patients -found that those that listened to guided imagery had a significant decrease in pain, stress and anxiety and left the hospital two days sooner than those that did not use these therapies. Blue Shield of CA study for surgical patients -showed that patients who listened experienced less pain from surgery, had a reduction in anxiety, and saved the company between $700 - $1200 per patient due to reduced hospital stay and fewer complications. Cleveland Clinic study of hospitalized patients showed those that listened had a significant reduction in pain, stress and anxiety and left the hospital 2 days sooner on average than those that did not listen. Visualization has been used by athletes for years—golfers, batters, swimmers, Olympians, and many others to improve their performance.

This is an audio program designed to lull to sleep.

The guided meditation is accompanied by the beautiful music of the Brahms’ lullaby.

Patriotism comes into sharp focus every four years with both the Olympics and the Elections. With each Olympic medal ceremony, the gold medal winner’s national anthem is played, and the athletes put their hand over their heart while the national anthem plays. In those moments there is really no debate about patriotism; we feel pride and are honored to be a winner. We feel a love for our homeland that goes beyond a political definition of America as the sum of “blue” and “red” states.

Unfortunately, patriotism is often confused with nationalism. Patriotism is “love for one’s country”. This expression of love comes from the heart and is represented by “hand over heart”. Nationalism, however, refers to a political concept, an idea often represented by “the hand salute”.

It’s fashionable these days to predict the fall of America as a world economic power. I believe that news of our fall is greatly exaggerated.

We have much to love about America. Our young country has gifted the world with the invention of electricity, the telephone, air flight, and the internet. How is it that such a young country settled by a ragtag bunch of idealists and settled by poor immigrants from every nation came to be such a global leader? I believe that our power comes directly from our forefather’s wisdom to base our country on high moral standards—certain inalienable rights. In this atmosphere of freedom we foster innovation and creativity that blesses the entire world.

As we enter the final weeks of the presidential election I can’t help but notice the commonalities between John McCain and Barack Obama. Both men are mavericks— they often buck their own political parties and do things their own way. They make unconventional choices and promise to bring about change. No matter which way the election goes, I’d say we’re in for an interesting four years. See Cynthia Novak’s Autumn Stars column (on page 32) for her intuitive, astrological, in-depth election coverage.

P.S. One of our best-loved practitioners passed this summer. Dr. Lois Vanderhoof died of cancer on July 8. You’ll find a memorial message on page 43.

Warm regards,

A

s I watched the summer Olympics, I found myself marveling at the athletes, who had qualified to represent their country and compete at this event.

What was it about these special people that led them to achieve the dream that so many have had and few ever accomplish? Certainly it required years of practice, dedication, self-discipline, and determination. Of course, talent was also involved. Most have had a lot of support from loving family members, friends and coaches.

To me all these athletes are winners, just by being at the Olympics.

I found it inspiring that so many world records were broken. This suggests that athletes keep getting better over time. Perhaps it is that they expand their vision of what is possible and find ways to enhance their performance.

Improvements in swim suits and other equipment certainly help as well.

I especially enjoyed the team events. Somehow seeing people aligned on a shared goal and encouraging each other to succeed is so sweet to me. Michael Phelps, who won 8 gold medals, 3 of which were in group events, attributed much of his success to his teammates. Seeing how each member of the relay team swam their absolute best and cheered their teammates on was such a beautiful sight. In any activity the most successful teams are those comprised of people wanting what is best for the group and those able to become more than the sum of their parts.

I also marveled at the courage of the gymnasts, many of whom had had previous injuries to overcome. I imagine that many have fallen over and over again while learning their routines on the balance beam, the vault, the uneven bars, etc. Yet they get out there with such fearlessness and determination.

How many of us would be able to continually pick ourselves up and go for the gold? Yet, to succeed at anything often requires getting back up when we fall down and finding a way to get back in the game. I love that saying by Captain George M. Moore, Jr. that “A winner is just a loser, who tried one more time”.

It was such a joy to watch as history was unfolding. I imagine that many of these athletes’ lives will forever be changed as a result of their participation at this momentous event. Whether they won or lost, I hope all the athletes will treasure the honor of representing their country and of being chosen as one of the best in their field. In the end, what matters most is how we play the game. I hope you will appreciate your opportunities and play well together.

Love & Light, Tony Cecala Felicia Weiss

How can CranioSacral Therapy help my life?

How do I become more passionate and joyful?

We’re so easily distracted by technology and the business of life that we are becoming less and less in touch with our bodies.

Bioenergetics helps us to be aware of our bodies, our breathing, our grounding so that we can make more conscious choices about what we want in our lives as well as what we don’t want.

She holds membership in the American Counseling Association, the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis, the Dallas Society for Bioenergetic Analysis, and the Heart-Centered Therapies Association.

What is Iridology and how can it help me?

It has been said that the eye is the mirror of the soul, and that it discloses the different mental and physical conditions of the body; we generally speak of the ‘vivid clear eye’ of the well person, of the ‘anguishing, glaring eye’ of the consumptive; of the ‘broken eye’ of the dead-sick.

Various nervous diseases are disclosed by the decreased mobility of the pupil; frequent disturbances of the sight point to diseases of the kidneys (diabetes), as does also the falling out of the eye-lashes.

By analyzing the iris of the eye, it is possible to determine the condition of your body by reflex markings found in the corresponding fibers of the iris. Iridology analyzes the iris of the eye to determine the cause of your ill health, in what state it is in, how it arrived there, how to free your body of it, and most of all, when you have freed it.

What is that octogen-shaped image mean in Feng Shui?

Whether your problems are structural, organic, emotional or neurological, this powerful therapy can facilitate your healing on all levels at once. Its many modes include gentle manipulation of the cranio-sacral system surrounding the central nervous system, including membranes of the skull to relieve any compressions that can cause a myriad of symptoms in the head; using energy via the fascia to restore structural integrity of the body and unwind tension patterns; and using energy combined with positioning and dialoguing to release stored energy from physical and emotional traumas. Best of all, most clients enjoy a much deeper relaxation than with massage.

A foundation of all Feng Shui practices and analysis is the Bagua Map. This magical square contains the mystery and answers of the I Ching, a universe of information. Each sector of the octagon shaped Bagua Map, called a trigram, gua, or kua, has a magnetic direction, a number, a color, an element, a family member, corresponding organs body parts and body systems. Each also represents personality traits, businesses and industries, and is represented cyclically as these energies move in predictable directions over time. Feng Shui uses the Mysteries of the Bagua Map to analyze and diagnose a property to identify precisely what is affecting you, and how to make the changes that can open opportunities for a better life.

Sandy Hanne, R.M.T, has helped thousands of clients change their lives using CranioSacral Therapy. An advanced practitioner, she has studied directly with Dr. John Upledger, founder of the technique.

What is CranioFascial Integrative Therapy?

This therapy recognizes the importance of the integration of the fascial and CranioSacral systems and works to gently release restrictions that may be causing pain, or problems in the immune, nervous, digestive, endocrine or other body systems. Using a very light touch the therapist works to correct the origin of the pain.

It has been used to successfully correct infertility, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, ADD/ADHD, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, arthritis, and pain in any area of the body, including migraines.

Food Poisoning can be Alleviated with Acupuncture

A

cupuncture can treat ongoing conditions like chronic pain and anxiety as well as sudden ailments. Food poisoning is a perfect example of a temporary and unpredictable discomfort that acupuncture is successful in treating. Food poisoning can last for hours or days, and while it can be a fairly harmless (if awful) way to spend a few days, it can also (rarely) be a serious and even deadly condition.

While it can result from different viruses or parasites as well, most food poisoning is caused by the ingestion of harmful bacteria that can lead to gastrointestinal disease.

Oriental medicine and acupuncture provide relief from the pain of food poisoning, and can also lessen nausea, increase energy, and help to prevent future incidents.

Along with stomach pains, food poisoning usually includes a fever, diarrhea, cramping, and vomiting.

Even if the bout of illness clears up on its own after a few days, the digestive track is weakened and the body is exhausted.

The first and most basic treatment for food poisoning is hydration and rest. Vomiting and diarrhea can severely dehydrate the body, and a consistent consumption of fluids will help lessen symptoms.

Acupuncture can be used to reduce nausea (and in fact, is often used by pregnant women with morning sickness). By aligning one’s qi (the life force each

individual possesses), acupuncture can also strengthen the immune system and digestive tract, paving the way for a faster recovery.

Also, by reinforcing the digestive system, a second episode of food poisoning becomes less likely.

“Oriental medicine and acupuncture provide relief from the pain of food poisoning, and can also lessen nausea, increase energy, and help to prevent future incidents“

In traditional Chinese medicine terms, food poisoning is recognized as Dampness and Heat in the stomach and intestines. In Oriental medicine, body conditions like Damp and Heat are usually associated with specific seasons.

It is interesting to note that Damp Heat conditions are connected with the summer season in Oriental medicine, and that most reported cases of food poisoning occur in the later summer months through October.

For more information on food poisoning and how traditional Chinese medicine can help, please contact Pacific College of Oriental Medicine at (800) 729-0941, or visit www.PacificCollege.edu

Rolfing® is a process for organizing the structure of our bodies so that we function more effectively. Over the years, our bodies react to trauma, both physical and emotional, by shortening and twisting. This intensifies our struggle with the force of gravity, which results in reduced freedom of movement, an increased likelihood of chronic pain, poor posture and a lessened sense of aliveness and self-esteem. During the basic Rolfing series of ten sessions, the Rolfer manipulates the muscles and fascia (a connective tissue) to free up those places where the client’s structure is constricted or held out of balance. The goal of Rolfing is to organize the client’s physical structure so that his/ her struggle with gravity is minimized. In addition to the physical changes of better balance, more freedom of movement, less stress, better posture and less chronic pain, Rolfing also affects your emotional, mental and spiritual realms. As you feel more supported by your legs, you view the world from a more secure position. You feel an increased sense of self-esteem, and the energy flow of your body is more opened and balanced.

Bioenergetic Analysis is a somatic psychotherapy based on a developmental, analytic approach.

It utilizes active involvement of the body in psychotherapeutic interventions. In Bioenergetics, we work with grounding, breathing and character structure. Grounding relates to one’s emotional security and personality authority. When we stay in our heads and deny the experience of our bodies, we lose contact with our internal sense of support. Breathing vitalizes and energizes our bodies. Our breathing patterns reveal defensive blocks in the body through muscular constrictions. Breathing increases our capacity for feeling, our energy level and our access to pleasure. Character structure indicates the manner in which we limit the energy flow in our bodies and is indicative of the coping patterns we used to fend off the vicissitudes of growing up. Understanding our character structure gives insight into our defensive posturing, our personal histories and suggests a possible course of therapy.

“Bioenergetic Analysis combines the work of the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems”...Alexander Lowen, Founder

If you believe that you could benefit from either of these processes, or if you would like to experience in depth personal growth through a personalized combination of both disciplines, contact Chuck Lustfield, (214) 902-8900 • www.rolfingdallasfortworth.com

Chuck Lustfield, Ph.D. is a Certified Advanced Rolfer, has a M.S. in counseling, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist.

Eating with the Season, Part IV: Autumn

by Allie Chee

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach to Nutrition

I

n Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), human emotions and physical health are seen as deeply intertwined—as mutual correlations. As the body houses the mind, nourishing our body allows for proper functioning of the mind and supports clear, positive thought. Positive thought and a healthy mind create a peaceful body that can function with balance. The yin/yang symbol, now well-recognized in the west, symbolizes two aspects of any phenomenon, in this case health, put together and forming the entire phenomenon—the two make the one.

TCM includes many traditional practices intended to simultaneously support healthy mind and body functioning, including: herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, meditation, Qigong, and last but not least, nutrition.

Food—What Difference Does It Make?

People can easily accept to what degree the things they consume (plants, animals, chemicals) affect their mind/body when the effects are very strong and immediate: plants such as tobacco, coffee beans, and mushrooms of a particularly lively variety, are a few examples.

However, people generally don’t understand how much foods can affect their systems when the effects are slower and more subtle in manifesting. This is for several reasons: they may be simply unaware, unfamiliar with or have a dislike of nutrient-rich foods, or they may desire to continue eating foods that are counter to health.

Nevertheless, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapy principles, every single food item has an energetic and healing property—warming, cooling, drying, lubricating, etc.—that affects the body as a whole and can more strongly affect particular organ systems, creating great change over the mediumand long-term. World-renowned TCM Dr. Maoshing Ni, in Secrets of Self-Healing, writes, “What you eat probably affects your health more than anything else you do.”

With that empowering statement in mind, how do we determine what is best to eat for optimal health from a TCM perspective?

Many factors are considered when planning the ideal diet: hereditary issues, individual

constitution, gender and age are those that people in the west would expect to find on the list. However, there are many other factors included in TCM nutrition, including season of the year.

The Seasons—How Do They Affect Us?

Once again, human beings can easily accept how greatly the change of seasons affects the natural world. We all know that trees go dormant in winter, that many animals slow their activity or hibernate in winter, and that spring is a popular time for courtship in the animal kingdom. We humans, though, so often detached in our modern life from the lifecycles of nature, are quite unaware of the great impact the change of seasons can have on our bodies.

In September and early fall, we are barraged with “it’s-cold-and-flu-season” advertising.

Are we really condemned to sickness just because of the beautiful change of seasons?

According to TCM nutrition principles, with such great changes occurring in all of nature, if we are in a weakened state, we could indeed be subject to common, seasonal ailments.

The seasons, in TCM, each have a corresponding organ system that is more strongly affected at that time, and we can eat “with the season” to support the health of that organ in particular and the body/mind as a whole. The organs associated with fall are the lung and large intestine. The seasonal ailments related to fall and to those organs are: breathing difficulties and bronchitis, colds and flu, allergies, skin eruptions and constipation.

However, if we, along with the other aspects of a healthy lifestyle, eat foods that support the body, we sail happily through the fall season and have prepared ourselves well for winter.

Foods for Fall

The fall season brings cooler weather and to maintain balance, we can adjust the temperature (both the temperature in our western understanding of hot or cold to touch, and the energetic “warming” or “cooling” property) of our foods accordingly. It can be beneficial to begin cutting back and eliminating the cooling foods of summer: raw foods and salads, juices, and abundant fruits. Frozen foods and drinks

are never recommended and should be mostly avoided in fall. Other cooling and dampening foods (greasy, refined and fried foods, frozen drinks and dairy) can lead to ailments such as sinus infections, cough with mucus, and stuffy nose.

Begin eating more warming and cooked foods. As we’d cut back in spring and summer, we can begin now to increase protein consumption. Replace salads with lightly steamed vegetables and soups, and eat cooked foods with warming spices. Of particular benefit are yams, carrots, winter squash, bok choy, broccoli, leek, beets, and pumpkin; barley, wild rice, and whole grains; garlic, ginger, rosemary, sage, and thyme; and seasonal fruits.

With the globalization of the food industry, it can be difficult to know what food is harvested locally and at what time of year.

Some of the most beneficial (and delightful) fruits harvested in The United States during fall are: pomegranate (season: SeptemberJanuary), cranberries (usually harvested in October), and apples and pears (harvested in late summer / fall). Fruits can be cooked with cinnamon or cardamom to “warm” them and to prevent mucus formation.

Doesn’t just the thought of apples baking with cinnamon conjure up beautiful images of fall and imbue the body with warmth?

Finally, here is a classic TCM recipe to have on hand this season. To support the lungs in fall in the event of dry cough: core a pear, pour rock sugar in the center, bake until soft, and enjoy!

This is the forth and final article in a series that covers eating with the seasons. For all articles in this series, visit: HolisticNetworker.com/wp/author/allie/ These are general guidelines for people in a state of balance and good health. Though season is considered, when there is any disharmony, a person’s individual constitution and current state take precedence over time of year when making food recommendations.

Introduction to Sound Healing HolisticNetworker.com

Autumn 2008 27

S

ound Healing is a relatively new discipline in the healing world, yet transformation through sound has been part of human life from the beginning. Nature sounds, song, voice, chants, pounding two rocks together, hitting a hollow log with a stick are all ways in which our ancestors used sound to create ceremony and transformation. In modern society, music as a part of ceremony is commonplace. For example, religious services, presidential inaugurations, sporting events, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies all incorporate music as part of their event to either bring spectators into the feel of the moment or to reflect on and absorb what they just saw or heard.

According to sound healer Kenny Parker (www.sacredsoundhealing.com) “Sound is primal. Quantum physics and science are only now discovering what the mystics and ancient cultures knew long ago: the matrix for the Universe is a seamless super-conscious energy field, composed of light, sound and celestial harmonics. Plato called this sound “the Music of the Spheres.”

Eastern cultures refer to it as the “Divine Melody” or “Sacred Sound.” In Christian teachings, it is called ‘the Word.’”

Creation myths from indigenous cultures —Aboriginal, Christian, Hindu, Mayan, Native American—say that creation started with the word, usually chanted. Breath and sound creates reality.

A Native teacher by the name of Joseph Rael (www.peacechamber.com/joseph.htm) taught me many years ago, before music came into my life as the modality of healing, that I think it, I speak it, I create it. Be accountable and responsible for my creations.

The most basic form of sound healing begins with the voice. In healing sessions this is an exploration of belief systems, thoughts, shadows and the setting of clear intention as a container for the transformation the music facilitates.

Sound healers use a variety of instruments to bring a state of resonance to the client.

Instruments include the voice, tuning forks,

rattles, Tibetan and crystal bowls, drums, flutes, didgeridoos, harps, piano and gongs.

As a sound healer dis-ease is seen as lack of balance and harmony. Paul Hubbert (www.holographicsound.com) says “certain tones represent perfect health or balance.

When our body is in dis-ease, we are literally out of tune, or vibrating off key. Disharmony can manifest mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. I use ancient Tibetan bowls and gongs. The gongs screech and the bowls sound dissonant before the client’s balance and harmony is reached. When working with Cornell Kinderknecht on flutes (www.cornellk.com) the bowls or gongs and flutes build a resonance on and over certain parts of the body that are out of tune. Once we have reached harmony the instruments play a symphony with the body reflecting the auditory beauty of health and balance.

Through the original intention we reach into the place Quantum physicists call the Field or the Matrix. Sound Healing is an intentional transformation of this Field. Everything is vibrational frequency in this field. The matrix holds frequencies of peace, unconditional love and perfect health as possible realities.

Through sound healing: clear thoughts, clear words, clear vibrant energy and sacred prayerful music, we choose these realities. We bring our vibrational frequency into the state of health, peace and love.

The use of music reaches into a part of our experience that goes beyond logical thinking and the ego’s attachment to control. The body and brain release endorphins and relax. The brain waves can go into an alpha, daydreaming, creative and relaxed state, into theta - the state of dreaming, meditation and subconscious. Music becomes the avenue for the brain to let go of the hustle of our

everyday thought patterns (“Where do I need to be in an hour?”, “I need new shoes.”, “How long will this take?”) and become fully engaged and concentrate on our intentions.

People often fall asleep (the delta state) during healing concerts and sessions, especially with the use of the big gongs at their heads.

Raymond Bahr MD - Director of Coronary Care at St Agnes Hospital in Baltimore states in Mitchell Gaynor’s book Sounds of Healing “half an hour of music produces the same effects as ten milligrams of valium.”

Dr. Gaynor is an oncologist in New York City who begins each of his consultations for cancer therapy with a crystal or Tibetan bowl and toning by the patient. The modality of sound healing is being used in both alternative healing and mainstream applications.

Sound healing is a powerful and enjoyable tool for bringing harmony to all aspects of health-spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.

Autumn 2008

from the fear, take a deep breath and remember that destiny is within our grasp. We can bend our plans to move with life as we meet it.

Your Autumn Stars

by Cynthia Novak Are We in The Grasp of Destiny or is Destiny In Our Grasp?

No matter which party wins, there is a politician with long experience and a partner with comparatively no experience running. We will manifest change, but do we trust the process?

Ultimately that’s what we must do because to fear it and “them” is to be tossed around by the fates. To embrace the process and play a part is to be part of Destiny and to be empowered.

rom the beginning of Autumn until December 17th, all of the visible planets will be on one side of the ecliptic path. Since the Moon runs around the heavens every month, she’ll venture out of the grasp of the great serpent, which is the way Hindu astrologers describe this formation. What this means literally is the visible or “personal” planets are all on one side of the heavens. The heavens are divided by the ecliptic. It’s called a “great serpent” because if you were to mark the points where the Moon rises and falls on the ecliptic path, it would appear to undulate. It doesn’t take an astrologer to note that this period of time encompasses the remainder of the Presidential Election.

Now that we have Barak Obama as the Democrat’s nominee and Sarah Palin as the Republican VP choice of political maverick John McCain, there is no doubt that we are making history and something big has the nation and the electorate in its grasp.

As the Moon pulls away from the other visible planets, we get some distance or perspective on the election and our fear or faith in the process. We are tested as the Moon pulls into them. The test is rather like the test of a small boat in the ocean. Will you ride with the waves or fear them: Can you trust your skills and those of your fellow citizens while you navigate the power of an election?

Remember, in a democracy the other party wins some of the time....smiles.

Are you part of the nation no matter what, or separate from it in spirit or in action? It’s tricky because fear is easier to come by when it’s broadcast to you by the opposing parties. There is only one thing that is certain: “We the People” will make history with our choice. It can go either way, but no matter which party wins, their candidate has already rebelled against the party of the past and is moving forward. It is exciting that we can each remain emotionally afloat. Here is a list of dates where the Moon moves into and out of the grasp: In- Oct. 1, Out- Oct. 9th; In- Oct. 21, Out- Nov. 5; In- Nov. 18, Out- Dec. 2.

If the Moon is our perceptions and she moves around the heavens quickly, this is the way out of fear and into trust. This is how we experience life and, ultimately, accept that change is part of life and not merely a campaign slogan. We lay out our plans and act accordingly. However, we are tested by change as we accept that at times we feel very out of control.

We must learn to bend with the great serpent or fall under the weight of the unexpected. The challenge is to detach

The big areas of action in the heavens are 15-30 degrees of Sagittarius where Jupiter brings in abundance and throws it to the same segments of Aries, Gemini and Leo. The more challenging zone is 22-30 of Leo and Aquarius where Saturn (the structure) and Uranus (the unexpected) planets push against your plans and push you to change direction.

This also spills onto the same segments of Scorpio and Taurus. These are all in your Vedic chart.

F

Jupiter remains unusually strong until mid-December: Jupiter is all about the law so the Supreme Court is in the news and active this season. Jupiter is beliefs, politics and optimism. It supports the Market and stimulates spending. Jupiter is acting, media and PR. With Jupiter moving fast and strong, it’s easy to see that a fortune will be spent on ads for the candidates by overt and covert groups. However, Jupiter is the big picture and excitement for the future. It suggests that the candidates and “We the People” are interested in where we as a nation are going and how we’ll get there.

This is not the usual election so ask big questions and search for the answers. I hope the media will ask, too...we deserve a big and optimistic vision with a detailed plan on how to get there.

October: October begins with Venus strong through the 13th. She recently crossed Mars, starting a new phase in relationships. Let’s just say that the planet of love and money is spending some of what she’s got on primping. She is a creative planet, so she can get that fresh face and brighten up her wardrobe and her home on a budget. On the 14th she moves into a sweet give and take mutual reception with Mars. Their embrace will linger through November 7th. Venus is ready for a partner, but she is also ready to meet and mingle for a time before she decides. Mars is willing to chase and the anticipation is strong. This is good for romance and for refreshing the love you already have.

Apply it to your resume and you will find fresh ways to look at what you’ve learned in the past. Apply it to your business and feel the love as you take in the praise of clients, both new and old. Jupiter helps as he is the ultimate optimist and he’s moving forward now.

In fact, he’ll gain momentum through the rest of the year. If you have a class you’ve wanted to take or a group you thought about attending, get out the door and go!

Mercury, the communication planet, is retrograde until the 15th. Be sure to repeat all numbers and confirm your reservation. Back up your computer and store up on batteries for your phone. If

HolisticNetworker.com

you aren’t sure of the directions to your meeting, then you had better double check with two different online map/ direction services. It would be wise to talk to a person, too. If you’re thinking of changing your internet service, wait until after the 15th. Until then, wait amongst loads of disgruntled customers looking for a better way. Of course, if you are in sales, this is a time for great opportunity and the best day of all is the 15th, when Mercury goes direct! Just don’t forget that this period of time is when the mind longs for silence (which, of course, is why you accidentally flushed your phone). There is no better time to revisit plans that veered away from your planned path. There is also no better time to redo and renew your personal ad, or rework your business plan or replay your spiritual tapes... .

November: Romance is playful and we are all distracted by the election.

On the 7th, folks get down to business.

Mars pulls into his own constellation of Scorpio for the remainder of the year.

This is a fierce place for competition and this transit of Mars in the last 7 years has been associated with aggressive military action in Iraq. Hopefully, that will not be true this time. This is a strong period for clear, decisive action in every area. It is also one where it’s easy to be misled by your opponent. That might not be a big deal if you’re playing chess with resin figures. However, if you’re trying to win the big deal or the love of your life, then it’s better to be honest and direct, but also to remain aware that your opponent may not be.

Simply put, show up and do your best, but keep your antennae tuned in to your surroundings.

December: There is a very delicate or perhaps volatile combination of planets forming. Mars is strong. He’s good at action, aggression and service.

Sometimes Mars pulls into a stressful aspect with Uranus and unexpected events happen or are uncovered.

Sometimes he pulls into a stressful aspect with Saturn and fear sends the Market down or prompts reaction from fear. When all three are combined we, at the least, feel vulnerable to the forces

Autumn 2008 33

of life and death. We sense that some things are out of our control and we react. If something doesn’t feel right, then trust your first hunch and move away. The election will stir emotions for the losing party and its followers. It’s up to us all to trust and to keep our eyes open. The change already happened, yet a reaction could be extreme. There is no month where it is more important to keep your faith and hold your spiritual center. This may only be a collective fear or a threat. I assume that Al Qaeda will make threats throughout the election to try to influence the parties. However, if there is a deranged person, who wants to make history, then I believe he’ll make his move at this time. I pray that he’ll be stopped.

From December 12th until the 19th, Mars makes a stressful transit to Barak Obama’s Mars as Saturn sits upon his Mars and Uranus opposes it. This is an eerie combination reminiscent of the transits to JFK’s birth chart when he was assassinated. Assuming that the times of birth we have for both men are accurate, both were born with a powerful Mars placed in the 8th house of life and death.

Will Obama follow in JFK’s footsteps to win the election and then go quickly to the grave? I hope not. I feel certain that those protecting him will give him good coverage and he will be wise. Perhaps, though, there will be an attempt and threats. The source of the threats will surprise him and all of us.

If we pay attention we’ll feel the wobble.

After the 15th Mars pulls onto Pluto and the New Moon on the 27th has the potential to bring us together through great emotion and possibly suffering.

The New Moon with Pluto and Mars are in a lunar mansion that deals with creation that follows destruction.

Throughout the holidays we are reminded that we are one nation. I hope that these are only fears and threats.

Do your part to remain aware of your surroundings. I would definitely check within before traveling. I hope that this is the time when we prepare for the gifts of political change, while we remain alert to those who would stop at nothing to see us fail. It is a delicate month for the Market. Fear is in the air and the Market usually struggles when investors are afraid. It is possible that we will lose a powerful public/political figure at this time and it will bring us together. It is likely that that person will have already retired, but it will still stir emotion. Senator Kennedy has cancer: He’s the first to come to mind. Please know that I do not believe that we as astrologers can predict life or death.

When I looked back in history to a time when Mars joined Pluto in this mansion, Mula. I had to go all the way back to November 1760. Here are a few fascinating bits of history from 1760. I found letters written by John Adams as he pondered the importance of working hard in the world as a young man, but becoming a judge later.

He spoke of age as a time when the [continued on next page]

34 HolisticNetworker.com

[continued from page 33] mind is cluttered, and youth when it is essentially free. George Washington wrote mundane letters of daily life.

Nothing foreshadowed the Revolution to come just 16 years later. In Europe, Enlightenment was the rage. In China, Canton became the only port licensed to do business with Europe. In the Americas we had the end of French Resistance in North America and Britain gained control of much of French America. The Boers settled in South Africa. We see change and movement and a shift in control of what would become the U.S. This mansion of Mula was also triggered in the first 3 months of 2008. We felt the grip of economic fear, but we are still moving on. Perhaps it is the morbid nature of man to find the worst in the times we live; then, remember them as “the good ol’ days!” Great smiles arise from the irony of life and a vote to celebrate this moment. Let’s embrace it.

We do hold destiny in our grasps.

The Race: As I write this, the race has been pretty gentlemanly. Both candidates have made a promise that their people will not attack the other’s spouse. They are both vying for media attention. Obama has been the media darling. McCain was the old dog with little wow factor. Then there was the Saddleback interview where McCain was the clear winner, followed by the Obama extravaganza where tens of thousands of people crammed MileHigh stadium and more wished they could get in to be a part of history. Then that was trumped by McCain’s pick of 44-year-old Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska. Wow! One thing is certain: there will be an inexperienced man in the Oval Office on January 20th or an inexperienced woman one heartbeat away. Both men have defied their respective Parties and taken destiny in their hands and held it to this point.

Both will leave politics changed for the better. Both have made history.

Autumn 2008

The media will now divide its attention between the two candidates and their running mates. Both will be motivated to name wise advisers, who will be there to make up for lacking resumes and time on earth. Both will shake hands and put forward their platforms and philosophies and strategies. “We the People” will ultimately choose and I honestly can’t say which one will win based upon their transits. Both candidates have very difficult transits on Election Day. Both have some wonderful transits on Inauguration Day. This usually isn’t this difficult. Usually one has more wonderful...or worse transits than the other, but this time it’s a draw. The loser will leave the election with enormous power in the Senate and on the lecture trail. The winner will likely reach across party lines to the loser in a show of national unity. Election Day will be hard on both and the scandal mongers or PACs will throw plenty of dirt around. It’s up to these two men to remain gentlemen as they ask for our votes of confidence in their respective plans for the future of our nation and it is up to us to take our votes seriously and to consider carefully.

There is so much change in the air.

It’s hard to imagine that Obama will not win. Biden’s chart looks pretty darned good for both the election and inauguration. Palin’s chart does not.

I don’t know if she’ll make it through November. She is tough and driven, but Neptune lingers on her Sun, Mars and Saturn conjunction. The scandals have only just begun. It will take great effort to rise above them; however she is forever in the history books. If I had to pick one chart of the 4 as the big winner, it would be Joe Biden’s. The second is McCain’s, the 3rd Obama’s and the last is Palin’s. Obama’s chart looks good on inauguration day, so I’m betting that he’ll still be here no matter how many astrologers predict otherwise. McCain has some wonderful aspects, so I’ll say that he still looks good after the election and has great power even if Obama wins (and that sounds a little crazy to me as I write this). If McCain wins, I believe he’ll reach over to Obama.

Obama will have great legislative power in the Senate...or McCain will! This is a really hard one to call, so I’ll end by saying I honestly don’t know by looking at their charts. It is really up to the voters to choose a philosophy and political plan for the future. It is up to us to insist our leaders embrace and create our destiny with us, not instead of us.

“We the People” have an historic and immediate call to faith in the process.

It is not the stars, but “you” and “me” and “he” and “she” and “they” that ultimately reveal our destiny at this time. Both men are wise and able, but it is the people who choose in a democracy. We get to cast our votes for destiny and direct our thoughts so we are not trapped by the hands of fate. I leave you with the immortal words of Shakespeare: “The fault is not in the stars...but in our selves.” (Julius Caesar).

I also end this with a reminder: This autumn may cycle between periods where you feel great personal power and those where you feel whipped like a dingy on the ocean waves. Through it all, we ask: “Am I in the grasp of the great serpent or am I taking hold of destiny with each choice, action and faith in the process of life and change?”

This is history folks; it is now.

Transformation Time

Again the light stirs rising from the internal world.

Energies that were sleeping now awaken.

It feels different, dynamic and unsettling.

Such a change can be confusing and the light may seem overpowering.

Shift from being busy and scattered to being calm and focused.

But this is a necessary shift to a new beginning.

This brings a more gentle flow and allows the light to take its course.

Everything is in order as it should be.

It’s an expansion and integration of something new.

What Is Osteopathic Medicine?

By Dr. David G. Lancaster, DO, ABHM

A

ndrew Taylor Still, MD knew that there was a better way to practice medicine. In the mid-1800’s he watched helplessly as three of his children died of meningitis. Even though he was a physician, he could do nothing to save their lives. Conventional medicine at that time had little to offer for effective treatments.

Common practices included blood-letting, mercury compounds, narcotics, and alcohol-based drugs.

These unsophisticated treatments often killed the patient before the disease did.

He began to search for better treatment methods that promoted a more holistic approach. In 1874 he founded the field of Osteopathic Medicine. Emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and prevention is at the core of Osteopathy, as exemplified by one of Dr. Still’s famous aphorisms, “To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” The roots of Osteopathy stem from the view that the physician should treat the person as a whole, not just the symptoms of a disease.

The philosophy of Osteopathy can be summed up in the following four principles: 1. The body is a unit: the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.

2. The body is capable of selfregulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.

3. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

4. Rational treatment is based upon disposed of without the buildup an understanding of the principles of toxins. This allows our body’s of body unity, self-regulation, and natural defense system to function the interrelationship of structure optimally. and function.

By Dr. David G.believed Lancaster, Dr. Still thatDO, usingABHM musDr. Still worked extensively with culoskeletal manipulation would the musculoskeletal system and promote the body’s innate ability connective tissue, known as fascia. to heal itself. He emphasized this He realized the significance of how approach rather than using medicathe body’s structure is intimately tions. He developed Osteopathic related to how the body functions, Manipulative Treatment (OMT) as and understood the importance of a tool to address the relationship of unrestricted blood and lymphatic structure and function to maintain flow in the maintenance of health. health. Practitioners of OMT spend This insures that enough nutrients many years developing the palpaare delivered throughout the tory skills needed to diagnose and body, and that each cell’s waste is treat patients. Doctors of Osteopathy

(DO) are able to feel with their hands the slight nuances of different tissue texture changes in muscles and fascia that may represent disease states within the body. These changes are sometimes so subtle that it is like being able to feel a thin string under a thick telephone book.

There are many types and styles of OMT. Some are very gentle and involve holding parts of the body in positions that allow muscles and fascia to relax. Other manipulations are more direct and require the patient to actively contract muscles.

The physician may apply pressure to affect deep tissues and organs, and to adjust bony alignments. An OMT treatment can last from 15 to 60 minutes. This allows enough time for the physician to obtain a history from the patient, perform a physical exam, and plan and implement a treatment.

A type of OMT developed by William Garner Sutherland, DO (1873-1954) is known as cranial manipulation. This is very difficult to master because it involves palpating subtle fluid pulsation in the body. These rhythmic pulsations are believed to be generated by the flow of cerebral spinal fluid. The fluid is produced deep within the brain and it bathes the brain and nervous system. Once appreciated, this rhythmic pulsation can be felt almost anywhere in the body, and can be used as a valuable tool in diagnosing and treating fascial restrictions.

OMT requires a tremendous personal commitment to learn and takes years to perfect. In my experience I have found that the physicians who use OMT spend more time with their patients and develop great patient/physician relationships.

DOs…are licensed in all 50 states, with the same rights and privileges as granted to MDs. This includes directing and managing all aspects of medical care, performing surgery, and prescribing medication.

To train Doctors of Osteopathy, Dr. Still founded the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri in 1892. Not only was Osteopathy a radical departure of orthodox medicine at that time, it confronted the social norms as well.

The first graduating class of 21 students included 5 women. This occurred in a time when women were not accepted into U.S. medical schools.

Currently there are 28 Osteopathic schools and close to 60,000 Osteopathic Doctors in the U.S. Over half of the DOs practice in primary care and are licensed in all 50 states, with the same rights and privileges as granted to MDs. This includes directing and managing all aspects of medical care, performing surgery, and prescribing medication.

Osteopathic training takes between 7 to 11 years to complete, depending on the specialty. After finishing four years of Osteopathic medical school, graduates then enter into a one year internship where they work as house physicians in a teaching hospital. This is typically the most grueling year with long sleepless hours of work. After the internship they may enter into a residency program for two or more

years. Residency specialization ranges from family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, radiology to physical medicine and rehabilitation and general surgery. After residency DOs may then do a fellowship to further sub-specialize in a variety of areas such as plastic surgery, spinal cord injury, pain, or cardiology.

Osteopathic physicians must complete many years of school and training before they can practice medicine, and then they must continue to learn to maintain their skills. After this intensive training, DOs have a solid understanding of how all the body’s systems are interconnected and how each system affects the others. DOs bring a unique approach to comprehensive care by using Osteopathic manipulation as a valuable tool to diagnose and treat patients. They practice with a “whole person” approach by viewing the body as more than just the sum of its parts and treat the person, not just the symptoms.

DVD Reviews Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind

Water Presented

by Intention Media in association with Voice Entertainment and Masterskaya Productions

2 Hour Seminar Presented by Joe Dispenza, DC Some of you might be familiar with Dr. Dispenza from the “What the Bleep Do We Know!?” and “What the Bleep!?

- Down the Rabbit Hole” movies. In this DVD, which was filmed in Sydney, Australia, Dr. Dispenza discusses how we can make changes in our lives.

He says, “Change is to think and act differently in the same set of circumstances” and points out that this takes an act of will. He believes that “The greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves”.

By changing our thinking and learning to think outside the box, we are able to make new connections in our brain. This is important as “We tend to think the way we feel and feel the way we think”. By learning to think in a manner, which is greater than how we feel, we are able to make changes in our lives.

Dr. Dispenza discusses some fascinating scientific studies, which demonstrate how our brains work and how new ways of thinking can lead to change. He has also spent the past 8 years studying people, who have had spontaneous remissions from life threatening illnesses. He has been able to determine four common factors, which he believes has led to their recovery.

From these studies we can appreciate how learning to think in new ways affects our body and allows our body and mind to work together in new ways. As Dr. Dispenza points out, our main job in life is to modify our behavior and to learn to do things better. This is how we evolve and grow and how we are able to create the life we wish to experience.

I highly recommend this DVD to anyone on a spiritual path, who would like to make positive changes in their lives. I found it to be enlightening, practical and inspiring. It is a wonderful reminder of the power we all have to live a happy and fulfilling life and it is a great tool to help us on our journey.

Water is the most common substance on Earth, yet we are only at the beginning of understanding its vast potential. It contains many unusual physical properties, most notably that its density increases below freezing and contracts above freezing.

In addition, it is the only substance that can exist as a liquid, a solid and a gas. Water has a memory—it receives and makes an imprint of whatever occurs in it. We know that without water there would not be life.

In this film, scientists from around the world share their research findings about water. In addition, philosophers and theologians discuss their thoughts and ideas about this incredible substance.

They provide scientific research results, as well as real life examples of how water is affected by the power of prayer, by our thoughts and by our “water purification” methods.

This film helped me to learn a new respect and appreciation for water, as well as the value of drinking good, well-structured water. We also gain an understanding of what we can do to enhance our experience with water in our daily lives.

This film did a beautiful job of making the substance of water come alive. It combined the scientific and the spiritual, along with beautiful cinematography. I found it fascinating to learn more about water, a substance that is important to all of us.

Reviewed by Felicia Weiss, Ph.D. “Just as with the film “What The Bleep”, “WATER” shows us through science that our thoughts have an effect on our external reality. Imagine the possibilities when people realize their own potential for creativity. Films like this give me hope that there is an emergence of collective intelligence that can solve the problems of the world.”

Lois “Lolo” Marie Vanderhoof, DC

1947 – 2008 Dr. Lois passed away in Plano, Texas, on July 8, 2008, after losing her battle with cancer.

Born in Worcester, MA, on April 17, 1947 to Bertram Anderson and Marie Leda Fournier, both deceased, Lois is survived by three younger sisters: Elizabeth Anderson of Brunswick, GA; Denise Robin Stewart of Little Elm, TX; Joyce A. Morrow of Crofton, MD, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Lois’ constant drive and limitless energy were an inspiration to everyone she knew.

Lois graduated from St. Peter’s Central Catholic High School in 1964, and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Anna Maria College, Paxton, MA in 1968. In 1976, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Doctorate degree from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. She was salutatorian of her class and member of the Pi Tau Delta international honor society. Dr. Lois operated a successful private chiropractic practice in Worcester, MA until 1981.

After moving to Dallas in 1982, Lois continued to serve others through chiropractic. In 1996, she received her certification as a clinical nutritionist from the Board of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists.

She focused on nutrition as a way to help people achieve optimum health through her business, Applied Nutrition Concepts in Plano, Texas.

Some of her numerous positions, memberships and endeavors included: Diplomate of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners; Treasurer of the Massachusetts Chiropractic Society; Vice President of the Worcester County Chiropractic Society; member of the Dallas Women in Executive Leadership; member of Netweavers Frisco; and graduate of Leadership Plano, Class 17.

Master Cleanse without the Cayenne

During this last year what I have also come to know is that there are those that cannot tolerate the cayenne because they are unaccustomed to spice. I had never considered this possibility since I’m from Texas and spice is just a part of cuisine around here.

So this article is dedicated to those that would like a gentler and smoother version.

With the original recipe it says you can take the cayenne in capsule form, but I find that it burns the stomach when the capsules open up in the stomach.

Ingredients: 6-10 Lemons Raw Agave Nectar - no more than 1/2 cup Niacin Water – 10-13 ounces Humic Minerals – 4 ounces Fulvic Acid – 10 ounces Gelled Chia Seeds – 1 1/4 cup Filtered Water – 2 1/2 - 3 quarts (fill up) Aloe Vera Juice – OPTIONAL – 10 ounces (George’s Fractionally Distilled Liquid)

Duration: 7-10 days

How to begin: If you generally eat a healthy diet, tighten up your diet even more for 3 days prior to starting the master cleanse. Preferably eating mostly salads. Limit the fruit.

If your diet is Standard American Diet, (SAD) then it will be best to begin cleaning up your diet for a few months first. Call a holistic practitioner before you get started.

The day before you begin the cleanse, don’t eat after 3:00 p.m. The night before take a moment to make the niacin water, and gel the chia seeds.

Niacin water:

Twin Labs, Yeast Free 1000 mg.

Open one capsule up and empty into a 1quart bottle and fill with filtered water, shake and put in the refrigerator.

Gelled Chia Seeds: Add 1/4 cup chia seeds to 1-quart of filtered water. I prefer to mix it in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake the jar (with the chia seeds and water) really well. Wait 10-15 minutes and shake again. Shake a third time in another 10-15 minutes. After that place jar in the refrigerator Very few people like to make it up per glass, so making a gallon for the day makes the most sense. Four quarts makes a gallon. In the morning mix the ingredients listed above, and shake. Drink this throughout the day.

You can have as much filtered water, as you would like too.

Why did I use agave nectar instead of Grade B maple syrup? Raw agave nectar has a low glycemic index and is safe for diabetics to take. Even though maple syrup does have minerals it doesn’t have as many minerals as I’d like, so this is why I add the Humic Minerals and Fulvic Acid. Both of these minerals come from deep within the earth.

Rumor has it that Fulvic acid breaks down and washes away malignancies in the body.

Why do I use Niacin Water? Niacin is a B vitamin and dilates the blood vessels thus increasing flow of blood throughout the body. Because of this the body is able to absorb and cleanse better. Cayenne is a dilator too, but this recipe is without the cayenne.

Why do I use gelled chia seeds? Chia seeds are considered an endurance food, keeping the body hydrated. And it keeps the intestines and colon moving, which is what we want. In the original master cleanse it is suggested to use laxative teas. Well for me drinking more liquid is a challenge. I’d rather add the chia seeds and let them do the work.

Just shake before you drink so you get some of those magical little seeds. (You can read more about chia seeds on my website on the product page.)

Why would I add Aloe Vera Juice? Aloe Vera and its uses are recognized since early biblical times for its many healing properties including being very soothing and lubricating to the inside of our bodies. George’s is able

to capture the benefits of Aloe Vera without having to add preservatives like other companies. And George’s is consistent in taste and doesn’t have to be refrigerated.

If you wish to add the Epsom salt flush too, you can. It is used in the master cleanse. All you do is mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt or 1 tablespoon of sea salt to 1 quart of water.

Shake it well and drink it in the morning or later in the evening. This creates a saline that will flush out the bowels and lymph nodes throughout the elimination system.

This can be done daily during the 7-10 day cleanse. The stools will be really watery plus it helps to dislodge mucous and petrified waste within the colon.

The greatest thing about keeping a body clean is that it keeps the parts working without all the creaks and groans. If you clean now, you reduce the chance of anything accumulating and forming anything life threatening.

And this is by no means for the purpose of diagnosing, treating, alleviating, mitigating, curing, preventing, or caring for “disease” in any way or manner whatsoever.

any of us who are involved in healthier lifestyles know and use different internal cleanses on a yearly basis. And one of the more popular ones is the Master Cleanse. Hundred of times a year I’m asked if this is a good cleanse, and, yes, the famous lemon and cayenne mix is fantastic for ridding the body of mucous and toxic waste although it is hard on the teeth.

It is best to brush the teeth after drinking the master cleanse.

“Over $16 billion dollars of electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the U.S.” —U.S. Dept. of Energy “The adequacy of North America’s electricity system will decline unless changes are made soon...demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next ten years by 19% in the U.S., but confirmed power capacity will increase by only 6%.”

—North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC)

Discover the savings that thousands of satisfied customers are enjoying!

THE PROBLEM

Up to 25% of the billable electricity consumed in homes and businesses is non-productive and unusable.

Most AC motors operate at 80% efficiency under a full load... the efficiency drops dramatically at lower loads.

This non-productive energy wastes money and also shortens the life of inductive equipment such as motors, HVAC equipment, pumps and major appliances.

KVAR® EC Advantages • No need to change your electrical company • Power savings are immediate and average up to 25% • Increases motor and appliance life • 5 year warranty • 25 year life expectancy • U.S. Patented, NASA Tested, UL Listed, CSA Approved, Cleaner & Greener Certified, RoHS Certified

THE SOLUTION

KVAR® EC fine tunes electrical systems to reduce non-productive and wasted electricity, giving you cost-effective energy!

TESTIMONIALS I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the KVAR box. The neighborhood I live in is all electric so my electricity bill is outrageous.

I was really excited to try the KVAR box not only to lower my monthly electric bill but as a first step in going “green”. After the quick and simple installation I anxiously awaited the next months bill. I was so pleased to find that my bill had gone down substantially, from $406 to $238. I am excited to see my next bill! I would recommend this product to everyone, not only is it good for your pocket book it’s good for the planet!

—Angelee B.,Providence TX The power consumption in my home has been drastically reduced since installing the KVAR unit. My last three bills were down from an average of $130 per month to $93, $73,and $77 for FEB 08 MAR 08 and APRIL 08 and is currently on schedule for about $77 for the current month half way thru the month of May. I installed the unit in Feb 08. My home is over 30 years old and has a three year old A/C compressor and a 7 year old heating unit.

I have several neighbors who have decided to put one on their house after hearing my results.

I am anxious to see what savings they will get also!

—Bill W., Carrollton Texas My daughter and I have two homes for the elderly which were built only two years apart.

Although they are approximately the same square footage the electricity cost was approximately $450 or more per month in our newer home. I tried to get Wisconsin Public Service to do an audit, but they refused. When we were presented with the KVAR option, I felt we had nothing to lose. Since the unit was installed, we saved more than the cost of the unit in the first few months. We felt the savings to be substantial enough to install another unit in our first home and see what our savings will be.

—Cathy Fosick, Owner/Manager, Cedar Creek Manor I had the KVAR system installed at my 2500 sq. ft. residence in Yucca Valley, CA in mid-August of 2007. My first bill after installation was over $100 less than the previous bill. The next bill was the first one that was entirely on the KVAR system, versus the same billing period last year, I used 29.69% less units of energy. That’s a lot of savings! With the economy being the way it is this year, the KVAR system may be the best financial decision I’ve made all year.
