The Link Between Western & Natural Medicine Chico’s New Naturopathic Doctor and planting roots and I am excited to do it with all of you and my community. Let’s get to know each other — I am a California girl born and raised who moved to Portland, Oregon, 14 years ago to learn about myself and find love with my now-husband, Ben. In that process, I found naturopathic medicine. I always wanted to be a doctor and studied Biological Sciences at Chico State on the pre-med track. It was because of my own health crisis that started when I was in my early 20s that made me really look at the current medical model and wonder why it couldn’t help me.

My Journey

Dear Lotus Guide community, ello! My name is Dr. Ashley Olberg, and I am a newcomer to the Lotus Guide family. This is the fourth time now that I have lived in Butte County; this area has always drawn me back to it. Now I am back for good

I had started having difficulty walking, extreme fatigue, great and deep sadness, weight gain at an exponential rate each month, and shortness of breath. I went seeking answers. I was continuously turned down with each metaphori-

cal and literal door closing in my face. I became sad, introverted, disappointed, feeling as if I were trapped in someone else’s body, and for the first time in my life, afraid that I wouldn’t be able to live out my goals and desires. I even became afraid that my body would be unable to conceive and hold a pregnancy because of the unknown female health issues that I suffered from, again with no answers and no one to help walk me through my health struggles. Years later, I discovered naturopathic medicine. I found out that there are doctors who receive traditional Western medicine education blended with the knowledge and intuitive beauty of the body and nature practicing medicine in a way that I had dreamed of for myself and community. Through my medical education at the National University of Natural Medicine, and in the years that I have been in practice since, I am continuously

Body & Mind searching for healing medicine for myself and my wonderful patients. Now I am a doctor, as I had always dreamed, but as a naturopathic doctor I can use Western diagnostic practices and even treatment mixed with natural therapies and traditions. Part of my motivation in moving back was to bring these worlds together by integrating all medicine in Chico together — to help us all work as a team, as this is where the answers really lie. How I Practice I love to help patients integrate their physical health with the spiritual and mental components of wellness, to bring both aspects into balance. I have worked for years in clinics that treated a lot of mystery illnesses when everyone else had given up. One of my main passions and strengths is female health. My own female health challenges made me want to help other women to reconnect and find answers for themselves. Don’t ever let them tell you it’s all in your head. As someone who has struggled with this, I know how frustrating it can

be. Every morning when I go into my clinic I walk into it with intention — my intention of being there to support and love others. To help walk with them to assist them in finding their answers and truth, to help them feel good in their bodies. I view myself as a guide and teacher. I give you the information and the tools to equip your body to heal itself. Remember, as Hippocrates said, “The physician treats, but nature heals.” Three Detox Tips We all need to do little detox regimens at least every year to get out the pollution, pesticides, and toxins that we come in contact with regularly in this area. We especially need to detox with all that we have been exposed to.

1. My very favorite tool for detox is an oil used by the Egyptians, castor oil. This ancient oil has many purposes and can help detox through the skin. Do not eat it; just rub it over your abdomen and massage it in, and then after 20 minutes wipe it off with a paper towel and then wash off or wipe off well with a wet wipe so that it doesn’t stain Reprogram the Mind That Supports the Habits You Desire your clothes. Studies show that doing Release Body Tensions That Limit Your Capacity this four times per to Relax, Enjoy, & Perform FREE week will make Practice Into Being...Everyday 1st Session a big difference by helping you to Paula Galindo, Awakening Consultant detox and get your (541) 214-6324 (text) - Nevada City lymph and bowel AwakeMindBody.com moving.

LIVE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

2. Add lemon to your water and drink it every morning to wake up and clean the liver. 3. Everyone needs to do dry skin brushing. Rub your body before your shower in a motion toward your heart to get lymph moving and get off dead skin cells that are holding in toxins. Then wash off and shower or bathe as normal. Big hugs on your journey for health! Dr. Ashley Olberg, ND Dr. Ashley Olberg is a naturopathic doctor at Vital Functional Medicine.

A Letter from the Publishers

Waking From the Illusion & Thank You From Lotus Guide

emember the days when people like Walter Cronkite, the anchor for CBS NEWS, was the most trusted man in America? Those days are long gone but people we can trust are still around if we bother to look and take personal responsibility to do the research. Reality is a bothersome thing in today’s world of consumer driven media that almost totally drives our legal system. But you know things are changing when “Legality starts catching up with Reality” as it is with CBD Oil research. Marianna Love at the opening of the Lotus Center We go to great lengths to make sure that we are bringing you wellwith one of her paintings (Yoga in the Yucatan) researched cutting edge information that you can trust; but even so, there’s a satisfaction in doing your own research and along with that comes empowerment. The tide is turning in our world because we are waking up from the illusion that’s been created around us by global pharmaceutical companies, tech giants like GOOGLE, Facebook and many others who know exactly what they are doing. One example is what I wrote about in this issue about our digitally distracted kids and if you read the online version where I posted some videos you will see that even the corporate media is in a position where the have to speak up…finally. We write about highly charged topics sometimes, not because we want to, but because we have to. We hope you enjoy reading the articles that we publish and we are always open to honest criticism so always feel the freedom to contact us. I know this is not normal in today’s world but it was once said that it’s no great accomplishment to be called ‘normal’ in an ‘abnormal’ world and that has never been so true as it is today. And we want to remind you that the advertisers you see in this magazine are people who support the Lotus Guide and Lotus Guide Center/Love’s Vibrant Art in more ways than one so use this magazine as a directory for what you need and if it isn’t here look in our Online Directory at LotusGuide.com. We also want to introduce you to our new associate in the Grass Valley/ Nevada City area. Aline Green lives in the area and is a healthcare practitioner so she is the perfect fit to represent Lotus Guide as a sales person. You can see her ad on Page 15 and you can contact her at Aline@LotusGuide.com for what it takes to be part of the Lotus Guide Community. As a final word we want to thank all of you who have been so supportive and making the Lotus Guide Center in Paradise a reality. We are open and have a beautiful space for workshops, lectures and trainings as well as a space for movies and entertainment events. We operate on a donation basis so we have set up the Lotus Guide Center as a “Non-Profit” organization so you can make your donations at LotusGuide.com/Campfire where you will find the links and information. These are challenging times for many so your donations go directly to help others in the area. Contact us to book your event. Sincerely, Rahasya & Dhara and all of those working with us to bring you some of the most trusted information.

Body & Mind

Using Acupuncture to release endorphins By Michael Turk “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human form and in the cause and prevention of disease.”-Thomas Alva Edison Here at the Asian Healthcare Association in Chico, after the events of last November, we are looking to the future. For me, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) was a key part of my recovery from ‘fire-brain.’ When I was ready to see the actual devastation of Paradise and what had been my home, one thing was absolutely clear: the past was over. I was beginning again. That deep clarity catapulted me to a new vision of my work. Long ago, driven by physical pain and illness, I left engineering to pursue healing work. Since 1969, I have always been motivated by the “care of the human form” and by seeking “the cause and prevention of disease.” I began doing and teaching acupressure massage and then became a certified acupuncturist in 1983. After the Paradise fire, Pennisue Hignell, a local therapist, asked NorCal Trauma Recovery Network, an international organization of volunteer therapists that goes to disaster areas to provide free therapy, to come give a series of workshops. They use EMDR, a timehonored cognitive behavioral therapy that is recognized as one of the most effective treatments for preventing and treating PTSD. EMDR helps reorganize shattered minds.

I signed up for EMDR because I had had previous good experiences with behavioral therapy workshops. I followed directions, moved my eyes in coordination with my thoughts, and my mind reorganized itself. As a result, I was able to continue working and teaching, serving our community through my practice. My apprentices Justin and Delina had been assisting me before the Paradise fire and kept me organized until EMDR took hold. All the following tools can work together: EMDR, meditation, prayer, affirmations, and ear needles. Have you ever tried ear needles? If not, our walk-in clinic is a simple inexpensive way to try it. Studies have shown that ear needles are one of the best ways to get off pain pills. Scientists have discovered that acupuncture releases a chemical that quickly reduces pain. They noticed this chemical attached to receptors on cell membranes (the same receptors that opium attaches to) so they called it endorphin, meaning ‘internal morphine.’ Scientists have also discovered why morphine is addictive. When morphine attaches to the receptors on a cell membrane, the cell recognizes that it is not the correct molecule and withdraws www.Chico-Peace.org the receptor.

Therefore, more morphine is needed to relieve the same amount of pain. If you use acupuncture, the naturally produced endorphin causes the cell to make more receptors, thereby restoring the body’s natural pain relieving ability. Endorphins are the body’s natural mood elevators, and certain points in the ears release more endorphins than any place on the body, helping with pain relief, mood elevation, and a wide variety of common ailments I and my longtime apprentices would like to serve you, not just in managing pain, but in reducing and eliminating pain. More healing is possible than you may currently believe. No matter the degree of loss or suffering, no matter the cause, each of us can benefit from improving our skills and habits of self-care. One of the ways to prepare for your next phase of life is to learn new skills of self-care, as well as being more able to help in serving others. We invite you to call for an appointment of Acupressure Massage or drop in on the First or Third Friday of the month from 11:30– 2:00 for our SELF-CARE AND EAR-NEEDLE CLINIC. You can also pick up some cooling herbs to get you through a hot summer. Sensei Delina Fuchs and sports-massage therapist Justin Urrutia will be there to share their knowledge and skills.

Sound that Heals

432: Vibrate Higher

By Jesse Spallina

t was four years ago when I attended a sound healing session with Bryan Anthony. When I first heard the sound of a crystal singing bowl I was overtaken by a profound energy that I felt throughout my body. This feeling was like nothing I had felt before. The vibrations were beyond an aural experience as I could feel these beautiful sensations moving through all layers of my being. I created a space at my home where I explored sound using a variety of tools, including crystal bowls, metal Himalayan bowls, gongs, and an arrangement of high-quality speakers and subwoofers. We lovingly called this room “The Spaceship” and on November 1, 2018, I packed it up and moved it to town to share with the community. A few days before the anticipated November 11 opening date for 432 the Camp Fire exploded and I found myself

evacuated into the studio with my family, friends, and calming sound. It morphed into an alternate reality to what was happening on the other side of the door and it became clear why the call to create this space had occurred at this exact time in my life. There wasn’t a business plan or financial drive behind 432. It was a matter of saying yes when called to pay tithe to the universe in gratitude for the happiness and blessings brought into my life. Sound healing is the essence of combining spirit and science to generate wellness from the inside out, starting with our vibration. In physics we define vibration as an oscillation of the parts of a fluid or an elastic solid whose equilibrium has been disturbed. We are all matter in motion and in an ideal world we would be living within our resonant frequency where we experience sensations of peace and joy. But what happens when life throws rocks into our peaceful pond and our calm vibration is sent into waves of chaos? Many of us are enduring chronic stress and living in dissonance from our

ENERGY WORK Through Sound & Touch

peaceful home frequency. This stress causes our heart rates to increase, our brain waves to become scattered, and we are left with feelings of anxiety, depression, exhaustion (or alternatively we experience insomnia), and general discontent with our quality of life. Toxic vibrations are attacking our beings through poor relationships, work, finances, and so on, and we live with this reality daily. Through time we entrain with this toxic vibration and begin to experience chronic mental and physical health issues. Entrainment is the synchronization of organisms to an external rhythm. Brainwave entrainment uses certain frequencies and binaural beats to help bring scattered and distressed brain waves

It is a tantra meditation where you do not have to ﬁght your mind, no judgments.

Body & Mind to an organized and relaxed state. By using two singing bowls that are close in frequency, we can actually create binaural beats. This occurs when two frequencies are so close together that we hear a third note. After a few minutes our brains will sync with the binaural beat and bring participants into a deep state of relaxation or “theta state.” This deep state of relaxation is where the body is able to begin effective healing. By getting out of “fight or flight” mode and into “rest and digest,” we give our bodies and minds the ability to heal. Another common issue we face today is the feeling of stagnation. This may be due to energy blockages accumulating within our bodies. We are able to use the deep vibrations of gongs to loosen these blockages and allow the energy to restore its natural flow. I often feel called to start sessions with the gongs in order to welcome participants into the session

with a deeper sound and energy clearing, and then moving into the bowls where binaural entrainment occurs. I believe this offers a more well-rounded approach to using sound as a wellness therapy. This is a constantly evolving modality and there are numerous instruments and tools out there being used for individual and group sound therapy. Through this work I have been extremely blessed to meet friends in the local sound-healing community, including Emiliano Jimenez Cornejo and Justin Smith, who are both divinely gifted and Welcome to Breathe use tools that I have Yoga Studio! yet to explore.

is no ego or ownership. There is no need to compete. We understand that we are here to serve a higher purpose and that we have been given gifts that are able to positively affect people in groups as a community. We share a vision of working together and supporting one another through our individual and collaborative journeys. Perhaps by offering the community an understanding around the power of entrainment we can spread a message of mindfulness surrounding the vibrations we send out. If we live with the intention to resonate in the frequency of love and harmony, we will therefore emit that vibration to those we encounter and through time, if enough people choose to live in that frequency, perhaps we can entrain this world to live in peace. Let us gather together and vibrate higher. For more information and for sound bath session times, visit 432chico.love or email 432chicosound@gmail.com. We are located at 1929 Mangrove, Chico, across the street from S&S Produce.

The Detoxification of the

By Mark Light, MD

he pineal gland is known as the “third eye” or all-seeing-eye because it has been perceived that it can envision far beyond the physical eyes, allowing it to relate and interpret physical and emotional signals and vibrations of the body to the brain. The pineal gland is named after the pinecone, which it resembles. Interestingly, the pine tree is one of the oldest plant species on earth. Since ancient times, it has symbolized fertility.

Pineal Gland

The function of the pineal gland, that we know most about, is its regulation of the circadian rhythm. This is related to melatonin and serotonin production and exposure of human retinae to sunlight. The pineal gland congenially works with the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland to govern various awarenesses, reactions, and sensitivities of natural biological processes in the body. Because of its miniature size (0.3 inches) and weight (1/10 gram), anatomists doubted the gland’s existence until it was identified in 1958. Calcification of the pineal gland typically begins around age 2 and can be commonly seen in skull X-rays of young adults. About half of the U.S. population suffers from calcification of the pineal gland as it approaches adulthood.

The degree of calcification is significantly high in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. This accumulation of “brain sand,” called corpora arenacea, is also associated with insomnia, lack of focus, inefficiency of healing, and chronic aches as seen in fibromyalgia. Many recent studies have concurred that low levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin were common among fibromyalgia patients. Of note is that high levels of fluoride are detected in vitally important endocrine organs, including the pineal gland. Fluoride is one of the main toxins causing calcification of the pineal gland. It is a known fact that the water supply of many public water systems is contaminated with fluoride and has been for several decades. Most toothpastes/ mouthwashes contain fluoride, too. If calcification is not treated

Body & Mind properly, quality of life can be immensely compromised. Inno-Vita’s Epi-Pineal, an herbal medicinal, is formulated to support the gland and its functions. Rather than partaking of melatonin, which may cause the body to develop a dependency, use of Epi-Pineal helps regulate and optimize the functions of the pineal gland in melatonin production, promoting an ideal sleep pattern. It helps the body supply adequate levels of adrenergic neurons, sense epinephrine produced by the adrenal gland, and help the body and its organs receive enough energy to sustain and enhance daily activities of life. Take Epi-Pineal with dy-NADH, as they both are designed to help the body elevate the level of energy and invigorate the quality of life. Tamarind fruit, a key ingredient in Epi-Pineal, has provided evidence as a very effective detoxifier of fluoride in the pineal gland. Chaga mushroom contains the densest melanin of any plant on the

planet and is very effective in dissolving calcium and potassium deposits in the pineal gland. Chaga mushroom is beneficial in healing the damaged tissues of the gland.

Ginkgo biloba energizes and promotes the functions of the gland and helps supply adequate amounts of blood and oxygen to the pineal gland. Chemical toxins and heavy metals commonly found in pineal glands can

inhibit or make decalcification very ineffective because of their negative interactions with natural chelation agents. Fulvic acid is added to the formula EpiPineal to effectively remove the toxins and heavy metals. L-Theanine is helpful for normalizing a healthy circadian rhythm. The neurons possessed by photominerals in kelp and spirulina can work as critical cofactors during the pineal gland and other organs’ decalcification process. As the mysteries of pineal gland function are unveiled (for example, the production of the spirit molecule, DMT), it will become even more important to keep this gland in good condition. At Chico Integrative Health, we can assess the function of the pineal gland and discover the source of the imbalance. Both condition and cause can then be addressed to markedly upgrade the pineal gland function. ChicoIntegrativeHealth.com

Reiki:

A Healing Gift for our Changing World By Jane Miners

recently asked myself: “Why do I do what I do? Why am I driven to teach Reiki and yoga, and be a part of the wellness community? Why do I want to help people—what is the drive?” The immediate answer that came to me was joy! It brings me joy to help people understand energy, trust our intuitive human nature, and to increase healing and well-being. Like everyone, I love to feel good, and one of the ways I feel good is helping others feel good. I love to teach, just like many people love to garden, paint, drive racecars, or any other passion. Joyful passion brings love and well-being, which in turn improves our

health by increasing vibrational flow in our bodies. These good feelings then spread outward, affecting the whole of humanity. We all want to feel joy in our lives, but we often face tragedy, health issues, financial hardship, or relationship challenges. Yet we can still experience joy and find balance amid all of these adHighest quality versities. Reiki is a yoga in our tool that can help us beautiful studio. to find this state of joy, no matter what Experienced Teachers we are experiencing, because it helps to in a spacious place. recalibrate all ener-

gies of body, mind, and spirit. It is now more widely understood that energy is everything. Our thoughts, words, actions, memories, and physical surroundings are all created from particles of energy in motion, which create frequencies. Our minds interpret these frequencies as matter, emotions, light and sound, and so on. Food is energy, plants, cars, smells, clothes … everything is energy. Reiki is an energetic system that changes lower vibrational frequencies into higher, more balanced ones. When one uses Reiki on oneself, a sense of peace can be realized immediately. It can also be used to release negative emotions that have been “stuck” in the body. Essentially, Reiki can purge emotional, physical, and mental blockages to reset and redirect positive flow of energy throughout the body. By definition, Reiki is “spiritually guided, universal life-force energy.” This energy has been present on the planet since the beginning of time, but it became more well known through the traditional Japanese system brought by Sensei Mikao Usui in the 1920s. Usui knew Reiki as an energy that can evolve and grow with hu-

Body & Mind man consciousness. Since Usui began his teachings, methods and uses have indeed evolved, and now there are many different systems that can be used to share this loving and healing energy. Acquiring the ability to harness and share Reiki requires an energetic attunement from a Reiki master. This is done by simply allowing your energetic body to harmonize with a specific frequency, much like tuning into a radio station. Once received, you have the ability to channel Reiki energy through the physical body throughout your lifetime. When I learned Reiki, I was attuned to the Usui Holy Fire system of Reiki, which combines traditional Usui methods and the powerful, loving energy of Holy Fire. Holy Fire is a Reiki system derived from the word holistic— wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. It is not associated with any religious tradition but recognizes humans as spiritual beings and enhances our spiritual nature and awareness. Holy Fire is a high-frequency energy that works with humans and the planet as we rise in vibrational frequency together. Much of the change and upheaval that we witness throughout the world is due to the changing frequencies of Mother Earth: The magnetic pole shifts and environmental changes are causing vibrational shifts of the planet and all of us. We are all experiencing these changes but often don’t know how to interpret them or may

not be aware of what is happening. As Holy Fire became a big part in my own personal healing—like many, I have experienced trauma, loss, depression, and addiction—I knew I wanted

to share it with others, because we all need personal healing at certain times. Yet we also need community for support and to nurture growth on the individual level. Each personal healing affects the community as a whole because we are all connected by invisible, energetic threads of words, thoughts, actions, and beliefs. Holy Fire Reiki assists us in bringing more balance and unconditional love to ourselves and the planet, and it also helps us to remember the unity of all creation, and it reminds us how to work together to find joy, peace, and community in ways that contribute to the good of all. In light of all of this, I began to collaborate with fellow Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher Amy Alward to design a

new Reiki class—Family Reiki—so that all ages can access this healing energy and loved ones can grow together. The Family Reiki class is designed with community in mind and will guide students in how to use Reiki in everyday life, on the self, and it will teach tools to help bring families together by improving communication, heal ancestral patterns, process difficult emotions, and bring more lasting joy. Along with Family Reiki, Amy Alward and I offer all levels of adult Reiki classes throughout the year. Those who do not wish to become attuned to Reiki can still receive Reiki healing through a personal session, which can help bring more balance and joy throughout your life, no matter what you are going through. Jane Miners is a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki master teacher, Hatha yoga instructor, and founder of The Wellness Collective.

What is Yoga Therapy?

By Jeanette Conery

he International Association of Yoga Therapists (the accrediting body for all yoga therapists) says that “Yoga Therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of Yoga.” It’s important to know that yoga therapists aren’t setting

out to “cure” anything. My goal is to help my clients feel better. Yoga therapy is a complementary (not alternative) therapy, which means that I’m trained to work as part of your health-care team. Occasionally this means consulting with your doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, and so on. Yoga therapy can be applied to maximize outcomes in physical therapy (PT), prepare for surgery, manage stress, improve posture, cope with chronic pain, and so much more. Yoga therapy is unique in that it addresses the entire person. In my own style of teaching, nothing is “off limits.” I use whatever tools I can (and there are many) to help the person in front of me, including things such as self-myofascial release, cognitive behavioral strategies for chronic pain, and ergonomics advice for the car, office, and travel. To me, yoga is anything that gets people to pay more attention to how they live and to live with more ease.

I strive to present yoga to people in a way that’s appropriate and beneficial to the person in front of me, no matter his or her health status or abilities. I often describe my style as “yoga for people who don’t do yoga.” Whenever I hear people comment that they think yoga isn’t for them because they’re not “flexible enough,” I can’t help but smile. This yoga is for you. I frequently work with clients who don’t get up and down off the floor, who have spinal injuries and fusions, and who have severe chronic health issues. In fact, I find connecting with these people to be very rewarding. There’s a quickly growing body of research for the efficacy of yoga therapy in improving a wide range of conditions. When seeking to use yoga as an aid to your wellness, it’s important to find a yoga therapist who is certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (CIAYT). These individuals have 1000-plus hours of training and a mentored clinical

practicum. That’s compared to the 200 hours of training required to be a yoga instructor. While there are certainly very skilled and experienced yoga instructors in Chico, yoga therapy training integrates the practices of yoga with an understanding of common medical issues, such as congestive heart disease, COPD, inflammation, joint replacements, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, and aging, to name a few. You can search for certified yoga therapists near you at IAYT.org. I’m now halfway through my yoga therapy training, which is why you’ll notice I refer to myself as a “therapeutic yoga specialist,” and not a “yoga therapist.” Yoga therapy is not a licensed profession, so there’s no law against my using the title. I choose to wait until graduation out of respect for the ethics of my profession. If you look me up on the website, you’ll find me listed as a student member. Currently, there are no C-IAYTs in Chico.

Yoga therapy is available in private sessions and group classes. The difference between a standard yoga class and a yoga therapy class is that the instructor is a certified yoga therapist, and each individual in the class has filled out an intake questionnaire. This way, the instructor is aware of the condition of everyone in the room, can keep an eye out for safety, and can structure the sequence of the class to address as many concerns as possible. At Creating a Sustainable You we offer “semiprivate” therapeutic yoga classes. These classes are set to a maximum of four participants. While these classes are extremely beneficial for a variety of people, it’s still what we call a “birdshot approach” to yoga therapy. For this reason, I encourage newcomers to have at least three private sessions with me as they’re starting out. It helps you make the most of your practice. I often send my clients home from private sessions with “homework” because I know that you’ll benefit the most from our time together if you’re connecting with your practice every day. I do my best to make these practices short and easy, so they’ll fit well into your life.

On a personal note, I absolutely love my job. I work at Creating a Sustainable You with Candi Williamson (voted best massage therapist by CNR readers for the last two years) and an amazing team of massage therapists. My work is effective because it’s sincere. Through the years I’ve learned to use yoga to deal with my own chronic pain, depression, insomnia, and stress. It’s an honor to offer these tools for the good of others. I offer two weekly semiprivate therapeutic yoga classes (Tuesday noon and Thursday 10:30am) as well as private sessions. I will offer threehour neck and shoulder workshops in July, August, and September. Each is targeted to a different group: athletes, regular folks, and those with spinal injuries. In August I will begin a six-week series on back pain (Wednesday evenings 5:30-6:45pm). For more information or to sign up, email CreatingASustainableYou@gmail.com.

The Initiation of the Phoenix: A Camp Fire Perspective By Annie Fuller

veryone is talking about the Phoenix. According to one story, as this mystical bird nears the end of its life it builds a nest of aromatic branches and spices, sits upon it, and purposefully sets it on fire. Consumed by flames, the Phoenix becomes ash. That’s when a miraculous transformation takes place. At some point a newly formed Phoenix manifests, and in its own unique timing, rises, expands its wings, and flies away. This classic metaphor of rebirth leaves me wondering about the “miraculous transformation.” What is it? How does it happen? And aren’t ashes by-products of hot coals? November 8 dramatically changed the lives of at least 50,000 people when

the Camp Fire destroyed Paradise and nearby towns. Homes and land transmuted into coals and ashes, as did each person who lived inside those homes and upon that land. First we were in core survival. Stay alive. Drive through the fire. Then what? Where do we go? What happened to our family, friends, and neighbors? Did our house burn? Minute by minute, day by

day, bottomless wellsprings of fear, disbelief, loss, and grief flooded our senses. Our emotional bodies are still staggering from the shock. Clothing. Insurance claims. Debris removal. Financial aid. Facebook groups. Town meetings. Trees. Paperwork. Water. We’re alive, yet everything we knew and counted on is gone. Who but us has an understanding of what it feels like to lose an entire town? Did you excavate personal items? For me there are no words to describe the insanity of sifting through debris searching for remnants of a life. Still living the nightmare, we wonder: “Will it ever end? Is healing even possible?” One day while feeling shattered and strewn about, I was graced with an “ah-ha” moment. I’m dismembered! That’s when I recalled this teaching:

Special Interest “There is an energy of dismemberment occurring on the planet. Structures are toppling. Foundations are crumbling. We see this within individuals, families, communities, states, and countries. Dismemberment must occur for change to happen. Human beings can become stagnant. The ways one does things must collapse and dissolve. Old and familiar limitations no longer apply—for yourselves and the planet. Release the energies of the past; they no longer have a place in your present. It’s time to expand and create new ways of being and acting.” I finally understood what happens to the Phoenix while it’s in the ashes. It becomes dismembered. Dismemberment is a breaking down or separation. What once was whole becomes parts. It’s a classic shamanic initiation. We Camp Fire survivors have been thrust into the disorienting initiation of the Phoenix. In our individual coals and ashes with every known thing stripped away, we’ve been dismembered. Recently I was blessed to be able to buy a new house. I say house, because I’m in the beginning stages of making it a home. Landing does not mean I’ve risen. Who am I? I used to know. The past is over, yet the present is filled with the past. My town is gone. The first home I ever owned exists only in memories and pictures. The land is in the process of being cleared from a nuclear bomb site to flat barrenness. No more guardian trees as PG&E takes over and decimates what was left. I’m still dealing with the insurance company; are you? I have no familiar personal belongings. A core

friendship dramatically deteriorated. Deep sorrow, once held in check by ancient survival strengths, finally has space to emerge. The future? Unknown and unpredictable. My perspective about everything has shifted. We are living the initiation of the Phoenix. How could it be that eight months later we’re still in the dismemberment phase? This in-between dimension of coal and ash requires more time than we can ever imagine. Luckily there’s good news, for deep within this inexplicable, mysterious realm an alchemical process is at work. It happened to the Phoenix, and it’s happening to us. In his dismemberment discourse, my teacher suggests: “Each day will bring its own unique challenges. Enjoy them. Laugh. Say yes! Another structure has fallen. What is the new way for today? As everything crumbles new potential and possibilities present themselves. Dismemberment brings forth great opportunities for expansion. And within expansion, one finds the Self.” In this process of finding our selves again, let’s notice opportunities for expansion. Laugh often. Love freely from the center of our hearts. Spend time in nature. Seek support and healing. We aren’t exactly like the Phoenix. Our fire was not purposeful. We did not consciously choose to dissolve into ashes and become dismembered. It happened to us. Yet like the Phoenix, we’ve been

placed within a realm of coal and ash where we are miraculously being remembered. Unified. And in time, we will rise. Transformed into newborns with the wisdom of the sage, we’ll expand our wings and fly away to new lands and lives. Brothers and Sisters, we might still be covered with ash, but fear not: In every story, the Phoenix rises. Annie Fuller is an international spiritual healer/teacher.

Doing the Greatest Work in the World

By Terry Cole-Whittaker here is no activity, work, or intention more valuable and important than our own self-realization and self-activation of our authentic, divine, and eternal self. All else in this world is temporary and changing, as well as distracting us from our greatest work, our eternal self, free of layers of ignorance about who we are and all that is. When people know who they are and grounded on Earth, barefoot and in nature as much

as possible, as well as centered in their own wisdom state of all knowing and supreme soul pleasure, the longer those people do their spiritual work, the happier, healthier, and more confident and empowered they become. On the other hand, a person who is absorbed in regretting, trying to change the past, concerned only with what will happen in the future and a victim consciousness, lives in a state of fear, guilt, self-doubt, and dissatisfaction, all generated from thoughts of fear of failure. Alan Watts: “If you think before you act, the devil will always catch you”. We have been and are being continuously programmed to believe at the deepest level of consciousness that we are not good enough, there isn’t enough, what we have is not good enough, and our time is running out. You and I are the

eternal now and not a meat stick that will be sick and die, put in a box in the ground or burned up, when we are life and eternity. All the outer is just appearance that we experience as real when we are real and the outer is the effect, the creation, aka manifestation. Investing in one’s self-awareness and divesting one’s consciousness of the false narratives plaguing us through subconscious programs made of thoughts and their definitions and meanings, all given to us and not from us, is our most important work, because we are the manifesting consciousness of the ever-changing outer world, projection. The outer reflects one’s agreed-upon reality. Srimad Bhagavatam 12.5.8: The atma (individual soul/self) is not subject to creation and destruction. It is different from the gross and subtle bodies since it is self-luminous. Like the

Special Interest ether, it is the support for everything. It is without change, without end, and beyond comparison. Srimad Bhagavatam 12.5.6: The material bodies, qualities and activities of the atma are created by the material mind. That mind is itself created by maya (illusion). Because of the upadhis (deceiving one’s self), the atma (soul) assumes material existence. Instead of trusting our divine knowing, we are being directed through intellectual and religious indoctrination to find our answers and solutions to problems in what they offer through their words. Their words believed and emotionalized produce their reality, not ours, whoever they are. Self-doubt is a huge problem because it invalidates you and gives letters, numbers, sounds, words, and symbols your position as a god and makes you a helpless victim. What is modern education other than the programming through intellectualism and religion so that the crabs stay in the bucket and are kept under control by the crabs themselves pulling anyone trying to get out, back down into the bucket to continue to be a normal, predictable, and, thus, a controllable crab. This is how the quill is mightier than the sword through the control of the mind as a weapon to capture divine beings and make them an energy source to produce whatever the writer wants. This reality is created from sound/words producing light

with our intention and emotions as fuel of manifestation producing the virtual reality, when only you and I, the divine, are real and eternal. Ingo Swan in his books Secrets of Power I and II explains the ways in which humanity has and is being depowered.

Even the word depowered is not in the dictionary to hide the cause of all human and animal suffering, although the word empowered is. It’s truly all about you, but not about the mind, which is all about memory, changing the past, changing yourself to suit others, or worrying about and trying to prevent future pain, loss, and suffering. Yes, we are using words; the key is to know what you are speaking into manifestation, choose your words consciously, and eliminate all subconscious programs meant for you to depower, stop, and abuse yourself and others. Dig out and dump! When we doubt our divine knowing, we are being directed through intellectual and religious indoctrination to find our answers and solutions to problems

in what these offer through their words. Their words believed and emotionalized produce their reality, and that is one problem after another with a population terrorized, used, and immobilized. Real human beings are divine beings with all godlike qualities, abilities, and powers, whose nature is compassionate, empowering, and nurturing. Real divine beings endeavor for the benefit of all sentient beings, including animals. But our greatest strength, the sweetness of our divine nature, is also our greatest weakness: the lack of discernment, naïveté, and the belief that all human beings are like us, when this is not true. When a person believes that the thoughts, words pouring through the mind are true and absolute, the person is giving life to words made of letters with meanings, all given and forced upon us by so-called authorities, when each of us is an eternal spark of the source and substance of all, our protector and maintainer. Essene Gospel of Peace, teachings of Yeshua: God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit.

The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness By Carl Johan Calleman ISBN-13: 978-1-59143-028-5 (Bear & Company, 2004)

Be forewarned: Calleman hits the ground running with this book so it would help to have a good foundation of knowledge on this subject before reading it, or, at least understand that there’s a profound depth to this information before making a judgment. If you are out to understand the nature and evolution of consciousness, this book will give some insights. I was particularly drawn to the information explaining the common roots of religion. In my book To Believe or Not To Believe: The Social & Neurological Consequences of Belief Systems, I realized that at the heart or root of most world religions there are very few disagreements, just disagreeable editors.

Foundations of Reiki Ryoho: A Manual of Shoden and Okuden By Nicholas Pearson ISBN-13: 978-1-62055-673-3 (Healing Arts Press, 2018)

Waking up to “mind pollution” in the modern digital age is one thing, but what to do is another. To occasionally wake up to our inner self is “almost” impossible in today’s fast-paced world, but it’s imperative if we expect to find higher levels of consciousness where lie all the answers to today’s problems. This book is based on age-old techniques from the mind of a modern-day human. Take a break and read this book as if it were a road map and take the journey.

Since I’ve been practicing Reiki for many years I was not in any great hurry to read another book on Reiki, but after reading the table of contents I had to check this book out. When I got to the section about charging crystals and then on to Chakra TuneUps, I realized that this was not just another book on Reiki. The history and how Reiki has evolved would have been enough but so many new insights make it a must for anyone, practitioner or client, to read.

Sacred Plant Initiations: Communicating with Plants for Healing and Higher Consciousness By Carol Guyett ISBN-13: 978-1-59143-213-5 (Bear & Company, 2015)

This book offers a totally in-depth perception of what the plant world has to offer and the possibilities of connecting with a different form of consciousness. Let’s face it—plants have been here much longer than humans so it’s not a huge leap to say that plants may possibly hold the connective link to a much more expansive consciousness. This book offers some clear and easy-tounderstand instructions for preparing, not only plants, but ourselves for communication. Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide

Creating the New World in Times of Paradigm Shift DVD By Jack Allis Get your copy at JackAllis.com

The old paradigm civilized world is in the final stages of its inevitable collapse and from these ashes comes a magnificent opportunity to create a new world. In this DVD, Jack covers everything we need to know about how to do this. His presentation is for those who are not afraid to think outside the box. He challenges us to see the world differently and to live our lives differently. The current system is not working. Based upon the lifestyle and spirituality of indigenous people from around the world, Jack presents us with a model that does.

I know I’m on dangerous ground here with some people, but this book really intrigued me with the biochemical aspect of illumination, or awakening. Like it or not, there’s a chemical counterpart of every emotion we have so why not at least entertain the possibility that there’s a biochemical component connected with awakening. We’re only scratching the surface of how our bodies and our minds may be in a position to awaken our Kundalini and bring us in to a higher state of consciousness. The graphics are invaluable for some of the topics involved in this book. Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide

What Does Your Gut Have to do with

Achy Joints & Muscles? other systems in the body, especially the immune and digestive systems.

I feel so stiff all the time… I wish my joints didn’t ache so much... My muscles feel so tight when I wake up, even if I stretch… These are the comments we hear in our clinic regularly from patients who are tired of feeling the aches and pains of stiff joints and muscles. They complain how moving slowly makes them look and feel old. And how they try to stretch, exercise and make other lifestyle changes but the aches and pains only gets worse. So what causes achy muscles and joints? Inflammation. In order to understand the inflammatory processes in the body and their relationship to achy body pains, we need to understand the links between many

Inflammation is Natural…unless Most of us know the immune system fights off infections. That is a 24-7 job! When the immune system is working to sweep up the cellular debris of daily life, inflammation results. In a healthy immune system, this type of inflammation goes mostly undetected by us. Inflammation is in fact a natural part of the healing process. But… if you are experiencing chronic joint and muscles pain, it’s your body’s way of telling you that your immune system is working overtime to rebalance excessive inflammation. Why is that? Here’s where the link to the digestive system plays a major role in inflam-

(or taking medications) may severely compromise your ability to digest those foods. This is how food intolerances, food sensitivities and eventually allergies occur. Undigested food “feeds” harmful bacteria and yeast overgrowth. The overgrowth of yeast and bacteria produce bio-toxins, which irritate and inflame the lining of your digestive tract. The lining of your intestine swells and starts to erode as more toxins enter the system. When the gut lining becomes damaged, a mixture of small particles of partially digested food, bacteria, parasites and viruses seep through the spaces be-

tween the cells of your intestine and enter your blood stream. Eventually your immune system cannot keep up to eliminate this toxic onslaught. Over time as the onslaught continues, an overworked immune system begins to target everything that enters the body treating all of them non-discriminately as invaders. Chronic release of bio-toxins eventually causes systemic inflammation throughout the entire body not just inside the gut. When this happens inflammation has now expanded and is systemic- -what was once only in the digestive tract has now entered the circulatory system. This is what’s known as “a leaky gut”. Due to the systemic nature of a leaky gut, it provides a platform for an entire army of symptoms to take hold. Not just joint and muscle pain. Head-

aches, memory loss, brain fog, dysbiosis (i.e. intestinal flora imbalance), fatigue, chemical sensitivities and food allergies are all common. For many, unchecked inflammation creates a pathway to autoimmune diseases. Allergies in particular can become so severe that people with a leaky gut are often allergic to almost everything they eat - even healthy foods like broccoli, and other vegetables and fruits. A continuous stream of foods over stimulating the immune system leads to a hypersensitive immune system, stressing all other bodily systems. For example, the major organs of detoxification such as the liver, kidneys and bladder become overworked trying to eliminate a large and continuous ‘dump truck’ of chemical waste products, creating autointoxication. When a body gets to the leaky gut and autointoxication state(s), overcoming chronic illness is not possible without a healthy digestive system. The role of the gut in your body’s immunity function is huge. Up to 70 %

of our immune system cells and tissues resides in the gut! A healthy gut lining has very tight junctions between the intestinal cells that serve as protective barriers to keep the wrong substances in the gut from getting into the rest of the body. In an unhealthy gut, however these junctions start to open up and let fragments of proteins, bacteria, parasites

and viruses escape into the blood stream, resulting in a ‘leaky gut’. Crush Your Chronic Inflammation

Questions for

Dr. Gayle Kimball Tune in to KZFR 90.1, where “Ask Dr. Gayle” broadcasts 6-7pm the second Thursday of each month. Q: After their grandfather died, my elementary school children are asking questions about what happens after life and why we’re here. How can I answer them? A: My new book Answers to Kids’ Deep Questions in Photos discusses questions such as those and provides the beginning of answers illustrated by color photos to spark family discussion. People who have had near-death experiences report they are greeting by loving beings, which suggests we continue to exist. My view is we’re here to evolve like all nature, to help others, and enjoy the amazing creation. Q: I work with traumatized clients and pick up secondary trauma from them. How can I feel less sad and overwhelmed? A: Start with some simple ways to separate from their stories. After you end a session, wash your hands and snap your fingers as a signal to release. In a private space or with a friend with the same goal, literally shake the sad feelings out of your body. Do the twist, stomp, and blow out other people’s emotions from your space. Try to take a walk during your lunch break and if you’re feeling frustrated, stomp as you walk. If you can’t physically shake out, imagine you’re swimming in a pure blue lake, diving under to wash any old blocks out of your body. A neurolinguistic programming clearing tool is to imagine a time line above a photo album. Turn the photos back until you’re above the first memory you want to change. Ask what is the root cause that will erase the problem? Float above the time line to that trauma and drain the negative emotions, changing or reframing your sensory memories of the event. Move 15 minutes back on the

time line before the root cause. Replace it with an anchor of positive memories and experiences. As you change your senses, you clear the negativity. Program the new feelings with a code word, such as “clear,” to repeat when you feel overloaded. Put happy pictures or photos in your work space, as well as fun toys such as Silly Putty or a kaleidoscope. For more chronic issues, use an energy psychology such as emotional freedom technique to tap out the traumatic residue. Q: I’m not good with small talk in social situations or meeting new people and fear being judged by others. Is there hope for me? A: Shift your attention from how you’re performing to pretending to be a reporter writing a story about the people in the room with you. Ask questions and really listen to the answers. You might like Barbara Walters’s book How to Talk with Practically Anybody About Anything. Also read about being an introvert or an empath in order to understand your reactions and how to protect yourself, such as The Highly Sensitive People by Elain Aron or Brain Training for the Highly Sensitive Person: Techniques to Reduce Anxiety by Julie Bjelland. Q: I’m sensitive to a negative tone from my significant other and a feeling of anxiety arises. How can I be less sensitive? A: I’d start by asking yourself if you had a similar experience growing up. Journal to bring those feelings up into the light of consciousness and release it. Unhealed wounds make us more sensitive. When you hear the negative tone, or when you have quiet time together, give your partner feedback that you feel upset and suggest another way to make a criticism. For example, instead of using “you” messages such as “That meal you made

was terrible,” your partner could use “I messages” and positive suggestions, such as “Lima beans don’t agree with me; I prefer black beans.” I’d give this feedback often until the negative habit changes. Don’t just take it, which is not good for your health or the relationship. Give praise for positive communication to reinforce it. Q: I work for a school where the principal is out to get me, trying to trap me into making mistakes, and telling falsehoods about me. How can I handle this? A: Look at the power struggle as a battle. You don’t go into a fight without allies and a strategic plan. Keep records of every written or oral communication from the principal, as well as your achievements, and take them to your union or an attorney. It’s illegal to create a hostile work environment for protected classes of people; if this is happening you may want to consult the state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Q: My drug addict son, in his 20s, lives with us and affects the whole household, draining our energy. Suggestions? A: I would make living with you conditional on engaging in an active recovery program, working the 12 steps. Narcotics Anonymous is free and he should attend daily. He should also be treated like an adult who is expected to contribute to the household and do work around the home. If he reverts to using drugs, he needs to find another place to live. In order words, treat him like an adult rather than an entitled child. Look for Dr. Gayle Kimball’s latest book, Answers to Kids’ Deep Questions in Photos.

BRAIN HACKING

How Silicon Valley Protects Their Kids ...But Not Ours

ou know the saying, “Your friends are the ones who tell you the things you don’t want to hear?” Well, keep that in mind as you read this article because we are so deeply embedded in the technology that surrounds us, not to mention dependent, that it makes this information difficult to digest. But here’s the thing about information: Once you have information about something, and even if you don’t change your habits regarding it, the mere fact that you have information can help you guard against whatever it is. So what is it? The subject around flat screens goes very deep but let’s start out with some of the basics. We all know how the software and hardware designers in Silicon Valley are pushing all of this

technology onto our children, and us too, right? According to the New York Times, even though Silicon Valley is pushing this on our children and into our schools, would you believe that most of the executives and the people who design this technology send their kids to Waldorf schools? And you might be saying right now, “So of course they do because Waldorf schools cater to some of the richest and most intelligent kids on the planet.” But here’s the thing about Waldorf schools in Silicon Valley. They don’t allow iPhones, iPads, smartphones, or computer screens. Why? Because they know what happens to children’s neural networking when they are exposed to flat screens from an early age, and to some degree it happens to everybody, no matter what his or her age.

BECOME A TALK SHOW HOST

Now before you get all surprised about how CEOs, executives, and software designers could be this callous about the world around them, think about this: Do you think for one minute that the executives in charge of Phillip Morris gave their kids cigarettes? Of course not. But at the same time, they pushed it on kids of all ages for decades without a second thought of how devastating this might be to a child’s health. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the people in big corporations are just like us—caring, compassionate, empathetic, and wanting to do what’s right. So let’s take a look at the science behind flat screens and why it is that so many well-educated people in our world are starting to look at this and warn us.

Rahasya Uncensored Remember, it was only about 10 or 15 years ago that researchers were warning us about cell phone usage, telling us that in about 10 or 15 years the tumors would start showing up. And sure enough, here we are today with an explosion of tumors showing up everywhere where we put our cell phones, whether it’s close to our jaws, our brains, and in other odd areas such as the buttocks, breasts, and groin areas. But this just has to do with the close proximity to EMF waves. Let’s move on to the repercussions of simply looking at flat screens so many hours every day. I almost wrote an article on the recent research released by the JAMA Internal Medicine journal on how certain pharmaceutical drugs that are actually quite popular in our world give a person a 50 percent increase in the chance that he or she will have dementia. The reason I bring it up right now is to add to the evidence that’s piling up daily that we have to be well informed and be totally responsible for what we do and what we ingest and what we breathe and drink in our world. But for now let’s focus on flat screens. This information is hitting even the mainstream corporate media so you know it’s serious. There’s a book out called Disconnected by Thomas Kersting on how to reconnect our digitally distracted kids. The research is in and it’s clear beyond any doubt that children

watching flat screens have increased attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Google “ADHD Flat Screens” to get a broader picture. We see it all the time—kids in shopping carts no more than a year old playing with a smartphone; well, you’ve been warned. A study that came out from the

University of Alberta found that by the age of 5, children who spent two hours or more looking at a flat screen each day were 7.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD when compared with children who spent 30 minutes or less each day; what would it be compared to children who were protected from looking at flat screens altogether … they

probably couldn’t find any of those children for the study. And think of how addicting it is as we grow older. A mind does its best to create a reality based on input from its environment, so as far as it’s concerned, a lot of the movies and miniseries we watch are actual and real, which is why we get addicted to the endorphin rush that translates into emotions of love, anger, remorse, and so on. The studies go on and on. For instance, in one study the researchers found that the average kid spends less than 3.5 minutes a day in meaningful conversation and 1,000 or more in nonsensical conversation. This can be directly related to the “disconnect” in our society. We complain about our world leaders not communicating, yet we can’t even communicate in our own homes with people we love. Remember, I warned you that you might not like to hear this. So far this column has been about our digitally distracted kids and the health implications for them that last a lifetime. Are you ready to take another step into the strange digital world we live in with all the conspiracy implications that it implies? Let’s talk about Alexa, which is being marketed to make our lives easier by turning on everything from your air-conditioning to your TV and coffee maker.

Although it has been reprogrammed now, when Alexa first came out I heard about this and tested it. I asked Alexa if “she” would ever lie to me. Alexa said, “I will always make every effort to be truthful with you.” Then I asked, “Are you affiliated in any way to the CIA?” Then came the answer, which was silence, and then Alexa would auto shut off. That is the only time I or anyone else could ask a question that would make Alexa shut down. After it hit the news that that “glitch” was fixed. Now, let’s go a step further. Smart TVs. Let’s take Samsung, for instance. When you program it after taking it out of the box you are asked about what level of privacy you want. If you don’t mind or simply didn’t understand the privacy question, your TV will be listening and watching you in your home. No big deal, right? Samsung gives you the opportunity to restrict that strange behavior of your

TV … or does it? Digital Trans plays down the conspiracy idea around this but the fact is, all of those data are sent to a third party, which we know now is the varied intelligence agencies that are recording your emails and phone calls and even this. When I interviewed Kevin Shipp, a CIA whistleblower (you can listen to that interview on my radio show at BBSradio.com/SpiritualActivist), he told me there were well over 1 million employees who signed nondisclosure agreements working in more than 2,000 highly secret organizations within the United States alone. Originally, Digital Trans was clear that the smart TVs were no more than a laptop computer in sleep mode and would respond only to predetermined words so it set out to calm the conspiracy stories around this. They were surprised to learn that by turning on the Privacy on Samsung TVs that it made very little difference at all. As I sit here writing this, something tells me not to take this any further because this is enough to assimilate for

most people. But I will leave you with this final thought, and this is a “theory” that I have no proof of but well worth thinking about. If you spend your life watching a two-dimensional flat screen and your brain constructs a lot of your reality based on a two-dimensional representation, is this one of the reasons that the last couple of generations have had a difficult time with things such as geometry, in which you need to think in three dimensions? And how about reading maps and translating that into the world we live in? Some of the schools in more progressive countries are putting more emphasis on mental health now and less on education. It’s so, so tempting to go on from here with a cascade of things going through my mind but I’m going to show restraint: “Enough for today.” Visit SpiritualActivist.com to hear more.

Transcendental Meditation Offers Hope

for Victims of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) What Is TM?

By Alice Patterson amp Fire victims and others affected by post-traumatic stress have access to free and reduced-cost transcendental meditation (TM) training, thanks to the Center for Spiritual Living, Chico and certified TM instructor Bob Dillon, director of the North Valley TM Center. Dillon is offering free introductory sessions, followed by TM courses for those interested in continuing instruction, in Chico at The Center for Spiritual Living, 14 Hillary Lane. According to Dillon, while there is a course fee for TM instruction, it is the center’s wish that anyone who wants to learn can do so. Those in need of financial assistance are encouraged to inquire about grants, scholarships, and other options. Additional special grants are available for those affected by the fires.

TM is a simple, nonreligious, easily practiced, mental technique offering profound rest to the mind and body, resulting in increased intelligence, creativity, better health, and happiness. Dillon said, “Stress is the number one threat today to our own personal health, happiness, and longevity. It affects everyone from every walk of life and there is no ‘magic drug’ that eliminates stress. TM has been shown to be an easily learned methodology for reducing stress and creating greater resiliency. Recent research sponsored by the Department of Defense has found it to be a highly successful way to reduce PTSD in veterans. TM is recommended by thousands of physicians as a way to create greater balance and reduce illness. Major companies, schools, professionals in sports, and the performing arts use TM as way to enhance performance.”

“TM is not a religious or ‘faith-based’ philosophy,” said Kathy Fernandes, cospiritual director of the Center for Spiritual Living, Chico. “Anyone can access the benefits TM has to offer.” Fernandes affirmed that trauma is just starting to set in for many victims of the November 2018 Camp Fire, and she encourages the community to enroll in the introductory

Rahasya Uncensored TM training and to inquire about available scholarships and grants for Camp Fire victims. A recent long-term study in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes found that individuals with heart disease who regularly practiced the transcendental meditation technique were 48 percent less likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die from all causes compared with others who attended a healtheducation class over more than five years. Those practicing meditation also lowered their blood pressure and reported less stress and anger. According to TM.org, TM is: 1. Absolutely effortless—It’s so easy and enjoyable that anyone can do it, even children with ADHD. This makes it very different from other techniques. It takes just 20 minutes, two times a day. a. No concentrating b. No control of the mind c. No monitoring of thoughts (mindfulness) d. No trying to “empty the mind”

2. Authentic—The TM technique was founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi more than 60 years ago, and it has been learned by more than 10 million people. It can be taught only by certified TM teachers in a course carefully personalized for each individual. 3. Established—More than 10 million people have learned the TM technique and experienced its benefits—people of all ages, cultures, religions, and walks of life. 4. Nothing to believe in—The TM technique is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Dillon expanded on the profound benefits of TM, particularly its impact on stress reduction. “The amount of rest we get with deep sleep just isn’t enough to fully release the stress,” said Dillon. “We can’t ignore stress,” he said. “It undermines our immune system and we get sick. It impacts our digestion, memory, sleep, and more,” he said. “Literally, too much stress over time kills us.” TM is an “effortless diving within” to access the calm. It completely transforms the brain and the body, he said. “It wakes up the

brain and improves memory, creativity, and hypertension, among other things.” Researchers have identified three basic approaches to meditation: focused attention (concentrating on a thought or object); open monitoring (observing breath, thoughts, or the environment); and automatic self-transcending (spontaneously experiencing quieter levels of thought—a unique state of restful alertness). The transcendental meditation technique involves no focused attention nor open monitoring. It’s a process of automatic self-transcending, allowing the practitioner to experience a field of calm deep within.

What’s Going on with All the Streaks in the Sky? seconds. Chemical trails, in contrast, linger and spread out until the sun is dimmed.

by Marla Crites, Betty Credit, & Ted Holmes

ven on a blue sky morning, it’s not long before white stripes begin to appear, spread out and create a milky-white sky. Many people are curious and looking for answers. Chico Sky Watch, your local geoengineering awareness organization, will attempt to clarify the confusion through a series of articles. The common term for this activity is “chemtrails” (chemical trails), but the official names are: Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI). The official explanation for the artificial cloud cover is an attempt to reduce solar radiation and thereby cool the earth, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Ironically, NASA has admitted that the earth’s surface temperature continues to increase despite heavy cloud cover. The clouds act like a blanket that prevents earth’s heat from radiating into space at night. Government officials at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA), as well as elected representatives (including Senator Dianne Feinstein), dismiss these trails as “harmless” vapor condensation trails (contrails). However, eyewitness observations, U.S. patents on file, surface water testing, and the accusations leveled by whistleblowers prove otherwise. Eyewitness Observations/Physical Laws 1) We can see trails that stop and start. If the trails were coming from jet engine exhaust, the pilot would have to turn the engines on and off. Why would a pilot do this?   2) When you exhale on a cold winter day, the resulting condensation dissipates almost immediately instead of turning into a cloud that follows you. The same principle applies to jet condensation trails. They evaporate within a few

3) Chemical trails consist of solid nano-particulate dessicants that attract water vapor. However, the artificial clouds they form consist of water droplets too small to fall as rain. As a result, the hydrological cycle is being disrupted, causing drought in some areas and floods in others.   4) In order for ice crystals or water vapor to form from jet exhaust, the plane must be flying at a relatively high altitude. Even then the condensation trails dissipate quickly. Most of the spraying is happening at lower elevations, so these trails cannot be jet condensation trails.   U.S. Patents on File As required by law, more than 200 patents have been filed in the U.S. Office of Patents regarding the chemical spray programs. These patents granted to military contractors (Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrup Grummond, etc.) include the purpose of the project, the materials to be used and the method of dispersal.

Rahasya Uncensored 1) The official purpose is weather modification. 2) Chemical spray fallout analyzed by scientists matches the ingredients registered with the patents: primarily heavy metals such as aluminum, barium and strontium as well as molds, mycoplasma, and polymer fibers. 3) The method of dispersal includes diagrams of the spray system planned to be used, showing tanks inside and nozzles on the outside of the plane. Local Water Testing Members of Chico Sky Watch have gathered local water samples from Horseshoe Lake (in Bidwell Park), Teichert Pond, California Park Lake, and the snow pack on Mt. Shasta and submitted them for testing to Basic Laboratory, a statecertified lab. The tests revealed that levels of aluminum, barium and strontium were many times the EPA safety limits. Yet the EPA has not responded when we have repeatedly notified them. For exact results, visit our website, ChicoSkyWatch.org.

Whistleblowers People frequently ask why we don’t hear about this issue on the news. Geoengineering programs once were discussed in magazine articles and news stories, but now are shrouded in secrecy. Gag orders are in effect on scientists, as well as employees of the National Weather Service and NOAA. Those involved with aerosol spray programs are required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Revealing the truth can be dangerous. Despite the threats, courageous whistleblowers continue to emerge. As early as 2011, Ted Gunderson, former Los Angeles FBI Chief, warned us that geoengineering programs are “death dumps. This is genocide. This is poison. This is murder by the United Nations. This element within our society that is doing this must be stopped.” More recently a former USAF officer and bio-environmental engineer, Kristin Meghan, is speaking out. “My job was to sign off on chemicals coming into Tinker Air Force Base.” When unusually

large amounts of aluminum and barium were delivered, she became suspicious when the manufacturer’s names were not included. Her job was to track the purpose of all toxins used on the base, but her superiors would not tell her that. When she continued to inquire, she was warned that there could be trouble if she didn’t keep silent. Future Articles Geoengineering is a multi-faceted and complex issue unable to be fully addressed in one article. We plan to continue to help clarify and reveal the effects that geoengineering is having on our planet through the following articles. 1. Our Erratic Weather and Geoengineering’s Role in It 2. The Many Ways Geoengineering Damages the Biosphere 3. Human Health Effects of Geoengineering and What You Can Do about It For more information visit ChicoSkyWatch.org.

Cannabidiol 101: What is CBD? When Legality Catches Up With Reality

By Amabelle Dela Cruz annabidiol, or CBD, has long garnered attention in the realm of natural products but has recently become more openly accepted among the medical community, and for good reason. From baby boomers to millennials, people from all walks of life are raving about the health benefits CBD can provide. If one looks into the history and science of hemp CBD, it’s no surprise that it’s a trending topic.

a fatty lipid poses some challenges for research, one advantage it does have is that it allows CBD to be readily absorbed in the body. It can be placed under the tongue, absorbed through the skin, or taken orally, offering many options for use. Because of this adaptability, CBD is present in many products, food items, and even beverages, and it’s only just begun. Hemp CBD and the Endocannabinoid System In just the past couple of decades, scientists have discovered an entire physiological network in

But what is CBD, exactly? Despite the discovery of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being considered the birth of cannabinoid research, CBD was actually discovered before THC by a few decades. CBD was first isolated from Mexican Cannabis and Indian charas (a type of hashish) by Roger Adams and Alexander Todd, respectively, back in 1940. Not much was done with the compound from a research standpoint until Raphael Mechoulam revisited the compound on his way to elucidating the structure of THC. Being a lipid, a fat, made CBD harder to study than other compounds such as morphine because it does not dissolve in water. However, its fatty nature allows the actions of CBD to be more nuanced around the body. While its being

the human body that researchers refer to as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). It comprises many different types of cannabinoid receptors, though just how many has yet to be established. The best-known subtypes are CB1 and CB2 receptors, often referred to as the central and peripheral cannabinoid receptors because of how they are distrib-

uted in the human body. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the central nervous system, such as in your brain and your spine, while CB2 receptors are more commonly found in your peripheral nervous system and immune system. It is the activation of CB1 receptors in the brain that causes somebody to get “high.” THC binds to the CB1 receptor much in the same way that a key slides into a lock. You need a very specific configuration in order for the two to fit together. Change just one ridge in a key, and the lock won’t turn. The same concept applies to THC and CBD. At first glance, the two molecules look very similar. The difference between the two is that CBD has an open ring, whereas THC has a closed ring. While this is a subtle variation, it makes a world of difference in the human body. Because of that open ring structure in CBD, it will not bind effectively to the CB1 receptor, while THC will. Upon binding of THC, the CB1 receptor is activated, causing the psychoactive effects to occur. But since CBD won’t bind to the CB1 receptor, it doesn’t cause the same effect. In fact, the presence of CBD will inhibit the binding of THC to the CB1 receptor, which can significantly reduce the mindaltering effects of THC. History and Legal Status The first encounter with hemp (known to be of the Cannabis species of plant) was most likely in the steppes of Central Asia. It became one of our first domesticated plants — if not the very

Rahasya Uncensored first — because of its usefulness as a fiber, the seeds as a food, and the oils for health, among other things. Researchers guess that the cannabinoid content back then may have been 1 percent CBD and 1 percent THC (tetrahydrocannabinol—the molecule that causes the psychoactive effect). Hemp quickly spread around the globe and by the 19th century, it could be found in pharmacies worldwide. With hundreds of Cannabis products on the shelves in the United States, chemists began to wrestle with the components of the plant to try and figure how Cannabis provoked such a wide array of effects in people. During years of research from the 1940s to the 1960s, prohibition turned the public and the authorities against marihuana—the term used to describe the psychoactive varieties of Cannabis that had been bred to produce more of the resin containing the cannabinoids. This “marihuana” type of Cannabis is quite different from the “hemp” type of Cannabis bred for fiber and food — but all the varieties of Cannabis got dragged into the same net. With the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, possession or

growing of Cannabis was criminalized unless someone obtained a new tax stamp for it. However, no stamp was ever issued. By the end of the 1960s, few would have known that the agricultural hemp varieties of Cannabis had a long history of use in the early United States or that hemp has been growing wild for the last century in states such as Kentucky. After many years of restriction, states began to pass their own laws to use wellness products containing Cannabis, most of which contained high amounts of THC. Finally, hemp found its shining moment when the 2014 Farm Bill passed, which included a pilot program to allow the planting of hemp and the sale of hemp-derived products. Because of this law, the industry exploded. It gained even more momentum with the 2018 Farm Bill, which included specific language to fully legalize hemp and hemp CBD. Now, with all the new CBD products emerging, how do you choose the right one? Here are a few questions you should ask when choosing a CBD product.

Is the company committed to: • Ensuring full traceability through its supply chain? • Testing each batch for cannabinoid content and potency? • Sending its products to a third-party laboratory for independent testing? • Meeting label claims—provide accurate milligrams of CBD per serving? • Guaranteeing the product is safe, nonGMO, and gluten free? • Educating with responsibility—never oversimplifying the science? With CBD products becoming more available, millions are finally able to benefit from the homeostatic support that they provide, granted that they are of good quality. While we’re still learning more about CBD and laws are still being shaped in real time, the supportive effects of CBD on a healthy lifestyle cannot be denied.
