Therapy is miraculous. Transdermal Ozone, also known as Hyperthermic Ozone and Transcutaneous Ozone Therapy, is a method in which Ozone is introduced into the body via the skin while sitting in a hot steam cabinet. As the pores of the skin open as a result of being surrounded by the warm steam, Ozone enters the body transdermally (i.e. via the skin).

How Much Longer Will You Be Okay With SICK CARE!??! With all of the changes in insurance, making your HEALTH CARE work for you is more important than ever.

e currently have SICK CARE, not HEALTH CARE Last year Americans spent $2.8 trillion on healthcare. That is around $8,000 per person. So does this mean that we are all healthy and living well? Absolutely NOT! In fact, we lead the world in heart disease, obesity, and cancer. Astonishingly, 5 out of 6 Americans will be diagnosed with either heart disease or cancer. If we were spending the most money in healthcare and had the healthiest people, maybe it would be worth it. But we are spending the most money AND have the unhealthiest people. In a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, of 37 different developed countries the United States ranked 37th (dead last) in terms of overall health of the population. SO where are we spending all of this money? When we are sick or in pain, we go to the doctor. We get prescriptions to help cure and prevent illness and pain. What do we do when that medication has a side effect or no longer works? We go back and get more medications for the next side effect. Americans take up 5% of the world’s population, yet we consume 85% of the world’s medications. You would think that if drugs make you healthy then we would be the healthiest nation, and that is far from the truth. We had 1.1 million people die last year because of drugs and these are not street drugs like heroin or other illegal drugs. These are prescription drugs that were prescribed for the right condition, the right amount, the right time. Prescriptions are not the only culprit, a large amount of that money is spent in nursing homes and cancer treatment centers. We have so many sick and ailing people in our population that we are seeing more and more long-term nursing facilities. People may be living longer, but we are not living better. The focus needs to change. We cannot be okay with a health system that has no regard for health. It is time to take the focus off of SICK care and focus on health. TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH A lot of people believe that genetics are to blame for the disease we see in our society today, but only 2-5% of degenerative illnesses are actually caused by genetics. So that leaves 95-98% of disease that is caused by lifestyle. The foods we eat, the drinks we drink, and the habits we live are the main cause of the increase in disease. Our offices are focused on HEALTH care. We recognize that health is not just about what you eat and whether or not you exercise. Our offices implement maximized mind, maximized nutrition, maximized nerve supply, maximized

oxygen and lean muscle. We personalize each care plan and work with our patients to establish health and wellness goals that create a healthy lifestyle that maximizes each patients’ quality of life. We offer full health and wellness care that excludes drugs, shots, and harmful combinations or both. Our goal is to make sure our patients live the healthiest life possible. BUT WHAT TRULY SETS US APART FROM ALL OTHER WELLNESS CLINICS It is our dedication to whole health wellness. Our patients are not just adjusted and sent on their way. We spend time focusing on spinal CORRECTION not just spinal alignment. By providing our patients with in office and at home stretching, strengthening, and lifestyle changes, our patients are the healthiest they can possibly be without introducing toxins. It is truly about balance and focus on health. What does CORRECTIVE CARE mean? If your spine and Central Nervous System are “abnormal,” there is a need for corrective chiropractic care. This type of care will restore “normal” spinal position and alignment. By properly restoring normal curves to the spine and aligning the vertebrae, it will eliminate interferences allowing your body to function and heal “normally.” This optimizes your chance to live at 100% of your body’s peak performance. A healthy spine will allow your body to express a normal body temperature, a normal blood pressure, and other measureable norms for the spine itself. There are four primary curves of the spine in the lateral (side) view of the spine. These curves give the spine strength, stability, and flexibility. Any loss of integrity of these curves can affect the function of the nervous system as this is the basis of evolution. These misalignments can put further stress on several aspects of the spine including the soft tissue structures, muscles, ligaments and discs that support the spine and its normal function. Much like braces straighten teeth, it is our aim to restore the proper alignment of your spine. Recent research allows us to now know the measurements and proper alignment of your spine. There is a normal body temperature, a normal blood pressure, and there are measureable norms for the spine. We take the necessary steps to restore the regions of abnormal alignment to normal through whole health wellness. Obtaining the level of normal alignment allows us to cure and prevent disease that otherwise leads to a lifetime of harmful shots and pills. Take the next step and allow your body to function at 100% of peak performance.

Rose Quartz:

“La Madona Rosa” Heritage Auction House

La Madona Rosa (the Pink Madonna) is an exceptionally large and beautiful specimen of Rose Quartz bearing a strong resemblance to traditional depictions of the Virgin Mary. The smoky Quartz “body” of the Madonna is an abstract composition of vaguely human form, bearing a multitude of scintillating surfaces. The overall effect is completed by a wide ribbon or “halo” of sparkling Rose Quartz crystals, completely outlining the body of the Madonna and enhancing the resemblance to classical statues and icons. Measuring an impressive 15.5 x 8 inches (39 x 20 cm), it towers over all other known Rose Quartz specimens and stands in a league of its own. In the late 1950s, miners working a small mine in Brazil, found a miraculous pocket of Rose Quartz: although only six inches wide and 12 inches high, the pocket extended for 16 feet in length. It was filled with deep pink, Rose Quartz crystals draped sinuously over smoky Quartz — a unique association not seen before, or since. The miners at “Sapucaia” (the mine’s informal name because of its proximity to that town) had hit the jackpot — Rose Quartz had never been seen before this discovery. Later finds in Brazil also yielded additional Rose Quartz specimens (notably Lavra da Ilha and Alto da Pitora) but none approached the sheer size and beauty of the specimens from Lavra Berilo Branco — they became the “gold standard” for Rose Quartz. The only other major example known from this historic find, is the “Van Allen Belt” which currently resides in the Smithsonian. Examination of La Madona Rosa’s features leads to the conclusion that, in all likelihood it came from the original “Sapucaia” (Lavra Berilo Branco) discovery. But attempts to pin down the history of this particular specimen break down at a certain point. Some opine that it was produced during the original discovery of 1959 and remained hidden for decades in the collection of a Brazilian gentleman before emerging to the notice of the outside world. Another account states that it was “discovered” in Brazil in 1972 (the mine had been in sporadic operation until 1973). Whatever its origin, it was acquired by a London gemstone collector in 1972. It was sold 8 DECEMBER 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness

in 1977 to a U.S. gem collector and resided in that collection for twenty years — its significance unrecognized for decades. It surfaced at the 1997 Tucson Gem & Mineral show, where it was recognized for its considerable potential. Modern cleaning and trimming measures were performed and the end result is nothing short of spectacular. It was subsequently sold into the Hoppel Collection and held a central position in that collection — hidden from public view until now.

Do You Suffer Chronic...

LifeWorks Introduces Cell Therapy LifeWorks Wellness Center, one of the foremost alternative health clinics in the U.S has recently introduced cell therapy, a protocol which can help in rejuvenating and restoring function to aging tissue and poorly functioning organs. This type of cell therapy uses specific organ or tissue cells (heart, liver, adrenal, etc) from embryonic animals since most animal cells are very similar to human cells. LifeWorks’ co-founder and Medical Director, Dr. David Minkoff explains, “The theory is that healthy animal cells taken from one of the animal’s organs e.g. the liver, will find their way to the weak or damaged liver of the patient and this will stimulate the body’s own healing process. The great thing about cell therapy is that it helps almost every condition or situation to improve, from infertility to diabetes to heart conditions and many more.” At LifeWorks, patients are evaluated based on the symptoms they present with, combined with functional and lab testing. If the results indicate a weakness in, or disease of, an organ then cell therapy may be included in their protocol. Other times, patients generally just want to feel good again, especially those aged 50 plus. They may want to increase their stamina and energy and to decrease their aches, pains and fatigue.

Do you live with any or all of the following? • Back pain due to sciatica • Sleepless Nights • Back or neck injury because of an accident • Back or leg pain when seated. • Numbness in your hands or toes • Degenerative Disc Disease The good news is that if you suffer from any of the ailments above we can offer a new solution to your problems which you previously believed you either had to live with or go through painful surgeries to correct. Contact the location nearest you: Pinellas

Toxic Mold

ous effect on animals it has on humans. Recently, however, scientists and vets have come to a conclusion mold exposure is as harmful for your pet as it is to you, causing serious respiratory damage and even death. A case in Florida has demonstrated black mold can cause pulmonary hemorrhages in cats: during a routine procedure, the vet noticed frothy blood in the tubes anesthetic was administered with and stopped the procedure. Unfortunately, the animals died, and the subsequent analysis of their blood revealed black mold was the cause of pulmonary hemorrhage that killed them.

Your Pets Are at Risk, Too!

ost people know that mold, especially its most dangerous toxic type, is extremely harmful for their health. Allergies and health damage are not even the most serious consequences of mold exposure, with lethal cases also known. Not many are aware, though, that their favorite cats

and dogs are at the same risk when living in a mold infested home. So how do you know if your pet’s health is in danger and what should you do about it? How Can Black Mold Harm Your Pet? For many years, it wasn’t clear whether or not black mold has the same danger-

Health Effects Toxic Mold Has on Animals. Black mold is as harmful for your pet’s body as it is for your own: the effects known are respiratory difficulties, serious lung damage, and hemorrhage. Black mold ruins capillaries in the lungs, eventually causing the death of an animal. Does Your Pet Have Suspicious Symptoms? Symptoms of black mold exposure are easy to notice if you know what to look for. If your dog or cat starts scratching themselves and chewing on their skin for no apparent reason,

loses appetite, and seems unusually lethargic, there is a possibility they have been affected by toxic mold. Breathing difficulties, sneezing and coughing, and even bleeding from the nose are also common symptoms in worst cases of mold exposure. What Should You Do? If you suspect there might be black mold in your home – even if neither of your pets exhibits symptoms of mold exposure – have the premises tested for mold as soon as possible and take your pets to the vet for an examination. In case you notice any of the possible mold infestation symptoms in your pets, make sure they get medical assistance right away and remove both your family and the animals from the infested house until the fungus is properly eliminated. Black mold is an extremely harmful fungus that can cause health damage both to your family and your favorite cats and dogs, so make sure you get rid of it as soon as you have noticed any potential symptoms. At Expert Mold Test we can inspect your home and make sure it is safe again for everyone inhabiting it – just give us a call at (727) 321-9269. 

The Path of the Medical Intuitive T

woman. She was forced to become very tough and confrontational in that lifetime and in order to do so, she forged an agreement with an entity to help her. This was another fear that had lodged in Lisa’s body. It was a lingering, unanswered question of, “Am I safe?” I explained that this was manifesting as periodic headaches, to which, Lisa agreed that she had been having headaches.

by Andrea Krudo, Medical Intuitive

here are numerous reasons for physical symptoms. Medical intuition takes into consideration the physical, mental and environmental causes, but also reaches deep into areas that may seem unconventional to many, such as, past lives, emotional trauma, repressed memories, subconscious patterns and even foreign energy, which is an attachment to energy that is not yours. Andrea Krudo clairvoyantly sees the psychic and energetic patterns underlying physical symptoms, often rooting out the blockages that are distorting the path to health and wellbeing. To many, this process has been instrumental toward renewed health. Client: Lisa (Name has been changed.) Medical Issue: Unable to lose weight

When I clairvoyantly looked at Lisa, I could see she was carrying burdens that were hindering her. The first was fear that had lodged in her lower abdomen. This felt like a deep vibration to me. In Lisa’s body, it was the need to be responsible for those loved ones who would not take responsibility for themselves. I saw that Lisa was acting as a caretaker. She was allowing herself to be drained by an Ex who was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. I described how, over time, she had taken on more and more of his duties and responsibilities, to which, Lisa agreed. While this was meant to be an act of love on Lisa’s part, it was actually a negative agreement that has been a repeating pattern between Lisa and the men whom she cares for.

14 DECEMBER 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness

This unspoken agreement said, “I will be small and make you feel large, so you will love me. This agreement was backfiring on Lisa as root cause of weight gain. I also saw that this pattern was manifesting as pain in her lower back. I described that it was to the left of the spine. It emanated across the small of the back and, also, down the left leg. Lisa agreed that this was an on-going issue. Then, I saw an energetic net that was blocking Lisa’s pituitary gland, slowing down her thoughts and metabolism. This was causing her to feel lethargic, a lack of motivation and confusion. I could see this netting was placed over her pituitary gland in a previous lifetime when she was not safe as a

Lisa placed others first, not out of choice or as an act of God’s Love, but in an effort to gain approval and safety from others. She came into this life to learn to appreciate her strength as a woman. She also came to learn how to connect with men in a healthful manner. Lisa survived adversity in previous lives, as well as this one, but because she was so used to fighting for love, she had forgotten to care for and love herself. Lisa received a healing for the physical and spiritual symptoms and “homework” to help her forgive the men in her life and to love, forgive and believe in herself.  Andrea Krudo is a clairvoyant, an energy reader and healer and a medical She

Shifting into

Renewal

& Change

Adopting Joy As Your Mantra by Marcella Zinner

he end of a year and the beginning of a new year can be a time of introspection, questioning, and wondering, what next? As the holidays approach and the new year looms close by, this time frame provides us with a perfect opportunity for review, ne-new, and a re-write for the next year. Like a new doorway, we can pass through for a 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, 5th. etc) chance. Somewhat like a breath of fresh air, a new opportunity, a clean slate, a start over. However, we don’t get much help, guidance or instruction on how to accomplish change over. We can relate to a feeling or desire for wanting a better, happier way of life but we don’t know how to open up that doorway to find new opportuni-

ties and new happiness. We may even get stuck just thinking about change and renewal. Figuring out how to change, what to change to, and how to move forward to create a new, better way of life with meaning, purpose, and joy is a daunting project, indeed. One of the main ways of opening the doorway to a renewal and rebirth is to live with an awakened heart, which is called bodhichitta in the Buddhist teaching. Bodhichitta is a way to bring joy to your heart as well as to the world as a whole. Simply starting with the intention to free yourself from suffering and to do the same for others. This begins to heal and to benefit ourselves and humanity. In other words, we begin

18 DECEMBER 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness

to release the ego’s hold on us, drop self-centeredness and make meaningful change. Chitta means “mind” and also “heart” or “attitude.” Bodhi means “awake,” “enlightened,” or “completely open.” Sometimes the completely opened heart and mind of bodhichitta is called the soft spot, a place vulnerable and tender. It is equated, in part, with our ability to love. Even the cruelest people have this soft spot. Even the most vicious animals love their offspring. As Rinpoche, the noted Tibetan philosopher, put it, “Everybody loves something, even if it’s only tortillas.” Bodhichitta is also equated, in part, with compassion—our ability to feel the pain that we share with others. Without realizing it, we continually shield ourselves from this pain because it scares us. We put up protective walls made of opinions, prejudices, strategies, and barriers that are built on a deep fear of being hurt. These walls are further fortified by emotions of all kinds: anger, craving, indifference, jealousy, envy, arrogance, and pride. Fortunately for us, the soft spot—our innate ability to love and to care about others—is like a crack in these walls we erect. It’s a natural opening in the barriers we create when we’re afraid. With practice, we can learn to find this opening. We can open the doorway to change, rebirth, and renewal of mind, body and spirit. We can learn to awaken our bodhichitta. When we focus on helping others, our hearts soften and we become kinder and more compassionate which cultivates lasting joy. So then, how can you practice bodhichitta in your daily life? Small ways reap big results. For example, you can offer to go the extra mile at work when no one else is willing to do so. You can offer your place in line at the grocery store to someone who looks frazzled and in a hurry. You can contribute to any life-sustaining effort such as the environment, animal rights, health

advocacy, serving the homeless, etc. When we open our own heart, offer help, and service to others, the doorway opens up opportunities and choices for us! This action and reaction brings in joy for ourselves and for others. Joy is powerful non-resistance. Through openness and receptivity, energy is allowed in to infuse our lives, to give meaning and direction. Through this openness and acceptance, joy is born. Joy is something we long for and that often seems out of reach. After all, where is the joy in today’s world when we see the suffering human condition, financial hardship, war, crime, and natural disasters? While joy isn’t something we can buy, it is something we can cultivate and develop within ourselves. Letting go of self-absorption that may not be easy in the society we live in today that endlessly promotes the “me” mentality. So much media attention is given to what we need to buy, how we need to look and where we need to vacation in order to be happy. Dropping this focus on “me” is not only preferable but also required for joy to flow in our lives. As we progress on our path of bodhichitta, consider offering yourself to be in service to others. As a result, the one who will benefit is you with an awakened heart filled with egoless-ness, deepened compassion and joy. All of these feelings open us up for more to flow our way. The old saying is so true, “what goes around, comes around”. Challenges -also known as opportunities- in both the outside world and our personal world are happening, one after the other. We frequently experience pain and difficulty. Tears are necessary and healing. Acknowledging that all issues are a chance for healing and change, we have hope--joy is not far behind. We no longer need to merely feel overwhelmed and withdraw into helplessness. We can reach for assurance and comfort in our awareness of the rightness of all happenings.

Getting our head in sync with our heart and harnessing the power of coherence allows us to achieve the changes that haven’t been possible before. It gives us the energetic alignment of heart and head as one. This is an alignment of heart and ego, which then allows joy to enter in. As we become our true authentic selves-the doorway to rebirth and renewal opens wide. To do this, become aware of what you are thinking, then ask yourself “how do I feel about what I am thinking”? Many times they can be at odds with each other. Our EGO is thinking logically yet, our heart feels something entirely different. The ego is influenced by outside forces or perceived illusions of fear or anger. The heartfelt feelings are our real truth. True joy lacks the wild ups and downs of an excitement-based life. It’s a peaceful landscape, filled with peaceful thoughts and peaceful emotions. Indeed, it’s so peaceful that, to our adrenaline-soaked culture, it looks rather plain. In fact, I like to think of it as the plains of peace. You can probably look back on times that didn’t seem very memorable when they were happening but that stand out in retrospect for their sweetness: floating in the ocean on a summer day; seeing the sun set as you drove home from work; picking berries in the country with friends. Relive those moments—the sound of the surf, the breeze on your face, the taste of salt on your lips, the gentle rocking of the water—and you’ll see that they’re rich, layered,

and powerfully sustaining to the soul. Dogs wag their tails over every small joy. Dogs seem to recognize these moments continuously. Humans, not so much. If you worry that your life is lacking in exciting events, I have good news: You can relax. The best way to increase genuine joy is to stop searching for manic highs and instead explore the plains of peace. Happily, you’re in the perfect place to begin: this very moment. HERE…

How to enter the plains of peace: Make somethingcreate something! Creative work causes us to secrete dopamine, a hormone that can make us feel absorbed and fulfilled without feeling manic. This is in sharp contrast to the fight-or-flight mechanism, which is associated with hysteria hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Research indicates that we’re most creative when we’re happy and relaxed, that is when we can steer our brains into this state by undertaking a creative task. To get a dopamine “hit,” make something that pushes you to the furthest edge of your ability, where you’re not only focused but learning and perfecting skills. Cooking an unfamiliar dish will do the trick, as will perfecting a new dancing routine. Try gardening, painting, sewing, golfing. At first, depending on how addicted to mania you happen to be, the excitement-grubbing part of your brain won’t want to stop obsessing about over-the-top experiences. It will cling to its fantasies

about the next huge thrill, its fears.

Keep creating. As you persist, your brain will eventually yield to the state psychologists call ‘mindfulness’. Your emotions will calm, even if you’re physically and mentally active. You won’t notice happiness when it first appears, because in true presence, the mind’s frantic searching stops. In its place arises a fascination with what’s occurring here and now. Though this feeling is subtle, it’s the opposite of dull. It’s infinitely varied and exquisite-a sure sign of renewal and re-birth.

divide it with.” We do not live in a timeframe, for the past is pride, the future is ambition, and present is vanity. Our joy takes place in the timelessness of NOW. Another way to instill Joy is daily reminders! Mantras or affirmation statements assist us with feelings and emotions in order to adopt change. To facilitate a shift into joy we can recite these mantras daily: • Nothing and no-one can interfere with my joy. • I allow myself to feel joy right here, right now! • I am grateful for the divine support and encouragement that is here for me now!

The aftermath of a creative surge, especially one that involves a new skill, is a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. Psychologists recognize as an important counter to depression. You’re left with the happy fatigue of someone who is building joy.

• I am aware that all is for my highest and best good and I accept the awareness of that with Joy.

Mark Twain reminded us of the nature of joy: “To get the full value of joy you must have someone to

Business Spotlight today’s busy lifestyle, complete with oversized activities crammed into an ever decreasing 24 hours, this can appear to be an impossible task. Not to be deterred, entrepreneur and massage therapist, Cynthia Haase, LMT is determined to demonstrate that order can be found in chaos.

Wah Lum Kung Fu of USA I

magine a moment in time where mind and body are working together in perfect harmony and functioning in sync just when needed... Relaxation and excellent body motion are in tune with positive thoughts ... Life’s stresses and the pressures of work just melting away! Well in

Cynthia has been a licensed massage therapist since February 1990 and became a certified Eden Energy Medicine practitioner in 2010, going on to secure her accreditation as a ‘MELT Method’ instructor in 2013, through MELT method creator Sue Hitzman. Cynthia earned her BA at the Wesleyan college in Philosophy and Sociology then subsequently attended the Suncoast school of massage graduating in 1990. She established her practices in the Tampa Bay area which consists of a therapeutic massage program and energy medicine in individual sessions, and instruction in the “MELT method” in group classes as well as private lessons. The MELT Method®

(Myofascial Energetic Length Technique) is a self-treatment system that can relieve the body of chronic pain in just ten minutes a day. Chronic pain causes the body’s natural balance to decline resulting in poor mobility. To this end Cynthia’s area of specialty is creating a sense of well being where people can feel better, experience less pain and deal more adequately with daily stresses. In addition she provides the necessary expertise for use at home which allows for self care. Cynthia advocates that “It is important in today’s world to take good care of yourself and the more tools you have the better”. Her drive comes from a deep desire to help others feel better and go through life smoothly without excess stress and discomfort. Her passion began in 1989 when she felt a deep feeling of compassion for the pain experienced by a friend who was stricken with cancer. She realized how powerless she was to

help without the correct tools and knowledge in hand so the very next week Cynthia enrolled in Massage school and the rest is history! Cynthia also practices and teaches Tai Chi Chuan and together with her husband, Sifu Thomas Haase, runs Wah Lum Kung Fu of Tampa. He has been practicing the art of Kung Fu for over 40 years and has spent the last 30 years concentrating in the Wah Lum Kung Fu system, training under Grandmaster Pui Chan and many great masters in China. He brings the expertise and knowledge to his own school and passes on this vast teaching to his students. Don’t let the busyness of this Christmas season weigh you down - ask Cynthia how she can MELT the stresses like snow!

Abundant Thoughts By Maggie Batt

and you begin attracting that thought. Every thought we have today may manifest tomorrow, for some immediately. In order to manifest things you want, it is important to focus only on what you DO want. There are no exclusions in this all-inclusive universe. When you see something that you desire, and state that desire (mentally or vocally) you are saying, “Bring it to me.” When you see something that you DO NOT want and you say, “I do not want _____,” that is the same as saying, “Come here, the thing I am thinking about.” While sleeping, all attraction has stopped. When you awaken in the morning, you begin your mental chatter. Your morning thoughts are the strongest vibration and set your entire day. Notice what you think of when you awaken. Often times it is what you were thinking when you fell asleep the night before. Notice your mental patterns and consciously choose to shift them. Being aware is your first step.

houghts are energy and are carried in the mental layer of our energy field. This is why someone intuitive or close to you can “read” your thoughts. When we think things, we place that thought in our energy field. The all-inclusive universe gets the message

By catching yourself thinking negative thoughts and by actively challenging the reasons behind those thoughts, you can shift your vibration from low to high, and your mood from negative to positive. The opposite is also true, so be careful when you start to dwell on negativity.

Your new, low vibration will follow you around for longer than you would like. Your emotions are a perfect barometer to let you know the level of your vibration and, subsequently, what you will attract if you maintain this vibration. If you’re experiencing “good” feelings, or a sense of opening and flow in your body, then your thoughts, actions, or words are in alignment with what you want. If you’re experiencing “bad” feelings, or a sense of closing or tightening in your body, then your thoughts, actions or words are not in alignment with what you want. The truth is, NOW is the only time that really matters. What you were feeling and vibrating in the past doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever you are vibrating now is what the universe is responding to. Often times, moving the body and breathing fully can help release generational and spiritual blocks to abundance stuck in your cell memory. Practice conscious breathing into your belly and then direct it up to you heart. A yoga practice is great at releasing this trapped energy. Yoga works with the spine and all of our energy centers (chakras, the organs of our energy field) are connected to the spine. Therefore, spinal flows can aid in healing all of your layers (physical, emotional,

mental and spiritual). Here are some additional tips to bring in the flow of abundance in all areas of your life. 1. Identify what you don’t want. 2. Know what you do want. (“If I don’t want ___, what I do want is ____.”) 3. Make a list of what you want. The clearer your energy, the more abundance will come. 4. Remove blocks by cultivating positive thought patterns. 5. Take responsibility for your own creations. No blaming! 6. The reason you don’t have more is because you don’t expect it. Feel worthy! 7. Create a vision board to set your sights on your goals. 8. Act on any intuition or guidance. 9. Bring your awareness to what is GOOD around you, even the little things. This will help attract more. Create a gratitude altar. 10. Be open to receiving from everywhere, including compliments. 11. Give thanks for every little things and big that you receive. 

CANCER

March 21st – April 19th Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs moves direct in your sign! You’ll feel energized and excited. Have courage to make changes to your self-image, relationships and attitude. It’s time to walk your talk and be your authentic self no matter what! You’ll see positive changes with career and close partnerships. People are drawn to your new level of magnetic spiritual energy, even though they’re not sure why. Enjoy your empowerment!

June 21st – July 22nd You can be starting a new relationship, or creating more closeness in a current one. This month is especially good for meditating together and clearing up any misunderstandings and clarifying expectations. You can also have unexpected career breakthroughs. Don’t be intimidated by the opportunity — you can do it! Even though it surprises you, it’s karma lined up by the Universe and you deserve it!

LEO

TAURUS April 20th – May 20th Uranus moves direct and gives breakthroughs in unconscious self-sabotage. Your “comfort zone” can actually cause major discomfort! Release old patterns — relax into the flow of change and spiritual improvement. Re-commit to a meditation practice. Be it yoga, journal writing or quiet sitting, have place at home that’s your sacred space. The more you use it, the more saturated with power it becomes!

July 23rd – Aug. 22nd You have a nurturing heart, and it’s time to put yourself on top of your caretaking list. Even if you’re crazy busy for the holidays, treat yourself to a massage or take long baths. Have quiet reflection time, even if just a few minutes a day. Relationships will transform as you emit more love from your heart chakra. When you’re the center of your world, you become like the Sun and pour out energy without feeling drained.

VIRGO

GEMINI May 21st– June 20th Meditate this month on gratitude and intimacy. Think about the people in your life who are spiritually aligned with you. Make efforts to reconnect with those who you’ve been too busy to talk with. Focusing this way also attracts new friends who can be like soul mates! Romantic relationships deepen as you reveal more of your truth. Sexual fears can also be resolved as the quality of your bond improves.

Aug. 23rd – Sept. 22nd The Universe wants to open your heart. In order to have an inflow of fresh energy, you need to clear out old disappointments and resentments. Meditate and see the past wrapped in pink light and drifting away. You’ll be open for new people, or current partnerships will heal and blossom. You’ll also have your mind receptive for prosperity, so meditate about and release old debts and money issues too!.

Aluna Michaels is a second-generation astrologer and Soul Evolutionist practitioner. She also holds a Masters in Spiritual Counseling and has been 26 DECEMBER 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness

CAPRICORN

LIBRA Sept. 23rd – Oct. 22nd No matter how long you’ve been partnered, or how engrained negative relationship issues seem, all patterns can be smashed! Uranus has an 84 year orbit and can free you from “stuff” that seems to hopelessly ensnare you. It’s a powerful energy you need to surrender to. Your soul is here to learn about love and bonding. Meditate and give the Universe all your ideas, experiences and memories regarding relationships. Become teachable with a Zen mind and you’ll be amazed at the new karma that comes in. Fulfillment and bliss is possible!

SCORPIO Oct. 23rd – Nov. 21st How can you bring your spirituality into “regular life”? Try meditating at work by just doing deep breathing when under stress, or when you see others under stress (send them good energy!). Your inner poise will be noticed as “an indefinable something” that brings advancement and praise. Also, when speaking with family, be gentle as you share insights about their behavior. Then they can take it in and make positive changes.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22nd – Dec. 21st Happy birthday Sagittarius! Exciting relationships possibilities are happening. You can meet someone new who makes your heart sizzle, or your current partnership is re-energized! Meditate to visualize your deepest desires, be they about love, career or finances. This is a manifesting time, but you must let the Universe know what you really want! You’ll also develop greater intuition, so trust your gut.

teaching and consulting for more than two decades. Her book “Spiritual Gifts of the 12 Astrological Signs” is now on Amazon in Kindle version. Ms. Michaels

Dec. 22nd – Jan. 19th Meditation heals childhood wounds that keep you from intimacy, and also prosperity. Be okay with being fulfilled emotionally and financially! What family beliefs have limited you? Write about them. Then tear the paper up and declare your freedom. Also spend time in the mirror affirming your appearance. Quit being mean to yourself when it comes to your body and face!

AQUARIUS Jan. 20th – Feb. 18th The Universe is pouring lots of energy into you, both physically and emotionally. If you’ve felt tired and drained, you’ll feel vitality. If you’ve been depressed, you’ll feel uplifted and inspired. The key is to release the old identity you’ve formed of being a sad, struggling person. Forgive the past so you’re open to be brand new. You’re being rewarded for hard internal work, so trust the blessings available now!

PISCES Feb. 19th – March 20th Prosperity is right at your fingertips, but maybe you can’t manifest it. Meditate and release resentments accumulated over the past two years. Be they about yourself, others or circumstances, they’ll block abundance, so let the go! By January you’ll not only be richer, you’ll also be physically energized and emotionally optimistic. Also, make new friends who are positive, supportive and upbeat.

Yoga Nidra Experience - Donation Only! with Laraine O’Neill Sunday, December 14th 2014, From: 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm. ALL DONATIONS BENEFITING THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF TAMPA BAY! Yoga Nidra means “sleep with awareness” and is a guided meditation practice used to move the mind away from tension and stress. Yoga Nidra is practiced in the final relaxation pose: savasana. Simply wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes. No prior meditation experience is necessary. Yoga Nidra is an easy and pleasant way to start on the path of regular meditation. A positively stated affirmation or resolve (sankalpa) is used at both the beginning and the end of the practice. Deeply buried impressions or tensions (samskaras) come through the layers of the physical and subtle body and are released during yoga nidra. You simply witness what comes up…and just let it go! Yoga Nidra can be used as a sleep aid. 1 hour of Yoga Nidra feels like 4 hours of conventional sleep to the physical body and mind. Through the practice of yoga nidra we can make better use of our capacities, explore the possibilities of the different dimensions of the mind, and strengthen our zest for life…all in a simple, accessible way that can be practiced by all of us, not just some of us. Your suggested $10 donation will entirely go The Humane Society of Tampa Bay in the name of ahimsa, or non-violence to the animals in our community.
