Thriving Business
Why is Food So Expensive?
by Rich Buckingham
Have you noticed that the price
of food has risen sharply over the last
few years? I have. Why is that? Here’s
my answer.
Let’s say you have a six-figure
income. You eat well, including dining
out often. But, your company becomes
the target of a hostile takeover. It’s sold
and your job is “off-shored,” or handed
over to someone in a third world country for far less pay. Suddenly, you’re
on unemployment, food stamps, and
you’re looking for a job. You’re not
alone. So, what do you do to lower
costs? You might start eating lower
on the food chain, replacing expensive
meats with grains and legumes. In
Economics 101, they discuss demand,
or what you buy, using terms such as
elastic versus inelastic demand. For
example, the demand for a new stereo
system every few years is elastic: you
really don’t need it. The demand for
food, however, is inelastic: you’ll perish without it.
Back to eating expensive meats
versus grains and legumes. If you
— and others — switch from meat
to grains and legumes, this increases
the demand for grains and legumes
and decreases the demand for meat.
(The demand for food, however, is
unchanged.) At the retail level, grocers can easily see what’s selling and
what’s not. Since the 1980’s the free
market, as espoused by economist Milton Friedman and strongly endorsed
by then-President Ronald Reagan,
has become the model for economic
activity. This model states that if the
demand for a product goes up, the
price should also go up. This is another
way of saying charge “whatever the
market will bear.” And, since the demand for food is inelastic and the goal
of our free market economic system is
to maximize profit, more people eating
grains and legumes instead of meat is
interpreted as an increase in demand
that calls for a price increase.

Another economic term is the
short run versus the long run. The
short run is considered less than a
year. The long run is usually more
than a year. What this means to the
consumer is that, in the long run,
grains and legumes will cost about
the same as meat. The point is that,
with our current incarnation of the free
market, such cost-cutting methods as
changing diet to save money — also
called austerity measures — end up
failing, not saving your money due to
inflation, which is price increases. This
isn’t some economic “disease” that can
be “cured” by economic medicine.
It’s an interpretation of free market
capitalism.
A real-life scenario for the
newly poor is to not go hungry but to
buy food or other necessities on credit,
as in credit card. When you buy something on credit because you’re out of
cash, the credit card banks honor your
purchases by crediting the person or
entity you bought something from.
Then, that person or entity has money
to spend. In this way, debt becomes
money, or debt = money, since today
money isn’t backed by gold or any
other commodity. What gives money
value is your promise to repay what
you borrowed. And, when you’re in
debt, creditors can — and do — decide
how much you owe through interest
rates and “fees,” like late fees. The
U.S. government debt works the same
way. The U.S. government banker is
the privately owned Federal Reserve
Bank: the Fed. The Fed sets the interest
rate, too. What the U.S. government, or
really the U.S. citizenry, owes the Fed
is called the national debt. As with individuals, a significant portion of what
the U.S. government owes the Fed is
what the Fed says they owe.

We want to bring to your attention a new
book by our Vice President and Senior Policy
Advisor, James Gormley.
In Health at Gunpoint: The FDA’s Silent
War Against Health Freedom Mr. Gormley reviews the history of the Food and Drug Administration along with some of its more controversial
policies and decisions, examining the reasons
behind them in an attempt to answer the compelling question, “Who controls the FDA, and what
are the real goals of this powerful agency?”
While CFH has achieved some positive
outcomes in recent campaigns involving FDA
authority - namely, preventing high fructose
corn syrup (HFCS) from being re-branded as
“corn sugar”, and sending the dangerous New
Dietary Ingredients (NDI) Guidance back to the
drawing board - Mr. Gormley reminds us that
the FDA remains poised to make decisions that
would have a major impact on the public’s health
by imposing restrictions that eventually could
eliminate many of the nutritional supplements
Americans take every day.
Health at Gunpoint: The FDA’s Silent War Against Health
Freedom isn’t in stores
until March, but you can
pre-order it here.
Fortunately, Mr.
Gormley doesn’t just lift
the veil from the FDA’s
true agenda - he explains
what we can do to prepare for the next stage of
this ongoing battle.
Best of all, Mr.
Gormley has offered to
donate a sizable portion
of the book’s initial sales
to support CFH and our
work. So you’ll not only
become familiar with the
FDA’s shadow agenda you’ll also be helping us
to continue our work and
conduct the necessary
policy analysis and action campaigns required

Belgium Weighs Restricting
Cell Phone Use by Children
The Belgian government has
announced measures to restrict the
use of mobile phones by young
children.
Details concerning new measures aimed at protecting children
from mobile phones.
RTBF, 25 February 2013
(translated from French)
Today, the majority of teenagers are hooked on mobile phones.
The latest report of the International
Agency for Research on Cancer
of the World Health Organization
(WHO) considers that its use is
“possibly carcinogenic for humans”
and that intensive use is dangerous.
It did not need more for the Belgian
authorities to react. There will be
rules to follow.
The Ministers for Health and
for Consumer Affairs are encouraging a better protection of young
users. In order to limit use, there
will be rules to follow which mainly
concern sales and advertising.
There will no longer be adver-

tising specifically targeting children
younger than 14 years of age. Sellers
will be obliged to inform their customers of the “specific absorption
rate” of mobile phones, that is, the
level of radiation of the device. The
sale of mobile phones specifically
designed for young children up to
age 7 will be banned in Belgium.
Possibly Carcinogenic
For the government, these
are preventive measures. The desire
to particularly protect children lies
principally in the fact that, cumulatively, they will be potentially
exposed longer to waves during the
course of their lives.
“International studies clearly
state that it is possibly carcinogenic.
If a risk exists, protection is necessary,” declared the Minister for
Health, Laurette Onkelinx, to RTBF.
This royal decree is her initiative,
along with that of her colleague
in charge of consumer protection,
Johan Vande Lanotte.
The draft royal decree will
be examined Friday in the Council
of Ministers.
The Minister for Health has
also announced the drafting, between now and the end of the year,
of another royal decree aimed at
rendering obligatory the sale of a
headset with mobile phones.
“A child’s brain is a developing
organ.”
Health risks (essentially, brain
cancer) caused by wireless communication systems are the subject of
scientific studies for which there are
“diverging opinions”, stresses Luc
Verschaeve, of the Institute of Public
health (ISP). “There are a number
of doubts and some indications of a
possible risk”, he said.
In the 1pm news on La Première, Jacques Vanderstraeten,
medical consultant to the “conseil
supérieur” of health, explains that
if these new rules aim principally to
protect young persons, it is because
“the brain of a child is a developing
organ and thus, more sensitive to

We Have the Power!
by Shonna Hayes
lectro-Magnetic Radiation is produced
naturally by the Earth and by the power
of the Sun. It manifests in a full spectrum
of frequencies that we see as visible light and
everything from simple radio waves right up to
X rays and cosmic rays from outer space.
All fields, big and small, affect each other
when they occupy the same space whether they’re
naturally occurring or man-made.
It’s not Just Microwave Ovens: EMF

We are the wire:
Remember the old trick with TV antennas,
where your body made the picture better? That’s
how it works with all of the radio/microwave
frequencies floating around out there, the signal
goes through and is concentrated by YOU.
The good news is that it works
both ways
Even one person directly contacting the
Earth can ‘ground’ themselves and draw off the
EMF from hundreds of people who connect in
a daisy chain fashion, simply by touching each
other.
Your Birthright:
The Earth’s Field is gigantic and is always
there, like a good parent, to pull everything into
alignment with its own resonance, a natural state
of around 10 Hertz. This Field protects each and
every one of us from radiation from the Sun as
well as the man-made technology that we’re
learning to live with. EMF is an unseen force
that is our friend when used naturally, and our
enemy when used carelessly.

To Reduce Your Exposure to
EMF You Can:
• Make physical contact with the Earth, or any
natural body of water
• Limit your use of wireless technology until
more research is done
• Create inexpensive ‘grounding’ solutions in
your home/work place
• Use simple tin foil or aluminum screening
to “wrap up” or block microwave emitting
devices that you want turned off.
• Join with others to make informed decisions and
take action regarding the technology that’s
introduced into your neighborhood.
Remember, WE have the Power
and that power is Earth.

Q Factor: Ground Cable
Q Factor specializes in Electromagnetic spectrum
education, field readings in homes/businesses and
providing affordable grounding technology to mitigate EM
radiation.
Body Earthing implies grounding—giving a human (or animal) body
electrical connection to the Earth. The purpose is to obtain health benefits
by providing electrons the body needs, and by letting the earth stabilize
and modulate the electrical potential of the body.
This mini-extension cord will allow you to plug into the ground socket
of any electrical outlet in your home. The ‘round’ socket is normally
attached to a 12 foot pole in the earth and provides grounding for the
home’s electrical circuits.
By opening a line to the Earth’s frequency (7.83 Hertz) you can attach the
antistatic bracelet (seen below) to the cable and give your body a break
from the environmental electro-smog that surrounds us.
The same cable can be attached to any EMF shielding material (tin
foil/aluminum screen etc.) to block signals from the outside, or act as a
grounding pad for your desktop.

GunAvoiding
Violence and
Spell Cast
the the
Hazards
by Santa
Cruz “Government”
f EMF/RF
R di ti
by Bruce Tanner
On Tuesday, Feb. 26, the Santa
Cruz Board of Supervisors met to deliberate on the second phase of John
Leopold’s initiative to, as he claims,
protect the people of his County from
the dangers presented by gun stores.
While there was a storm of interest in
the Jan. 15th initial unanimous passage
of Leopold’s proposed Moratorium on
gun store permits, on Tuesday by the
time the Supervisors had conducted
a lengthy County Workers’ Awards
ceremony and a presentation on solid
waste management, along with a lunch
break, there were only a handful of
people left to observe the vetting of
the proposed new ordinance.
The ordinance had been brought
to the Board by County Counsel Dana
McRae on a tight timeline to meet with
the deadline on the soon-to-expire
45-day Moratorium. Along with the
Supervisors’ approval for moving
forward on the new ordinance, they
also approved an extension on the
Moratorium. This will essentially
end the hopes of the applicants who’d
applied for a permit to open their gun
store in Live Oak.
The ordinance text from McRae
includes many provisions culled from
other counties’ gun-safety ordinances,
most of which are common-sense
and general standard practice for
gun stores. However, it also includes
mandatory “set-backs” requiring that
stores be sited varying distances from
Schools, Day-care Centers and Parks.
A map on the wall of the Chambers
showed the impact that these set-backs
would have on available locations for
new gun businesses in Live Oak. These
showed that approximately half of
the area would be off-limits under the
proposed ordinance.
When comments were allowed
from the very few remaining onlookers, I pointed out that the set-back
provisions had no reasonable effect
on public safety, and merely interfered
with their constituents’ freedom to
govern their own lives. However, as if
to underscore the Supervisors’ power
to control peoples’ “land-use,” when
instructing Counsel on the language
to bring back to the Supervisors the
next week for a first-reading of the
new ordinance, John Leopold asked
that an additional set-back of 300 feet
from any areas zoned as residential be
added to the ordinance. I suspect that
this will not leave much of Live Oak
available for siting gun stores.
What (or who) is benefitted
by these provisions of the proposed
ordinance related specifically to places
associated with children? The primary
effect I see is that guns are again associated in the public mind with a need
to “protect the children” from “gun
violence.” The Supervisors deny that
this initiative by them has anything to
do with the anti-gun hysteria sweeping
America. The upshot is a continuing amplification of a push from a
nationally Federalized governmental
administrative structure (including
the corporate media) to manage the
American people using duplicity,
public relations and fear.
It’s highly synchronous that this
meeting took place on the same day
that Santa Cruz had both an anti-gun
demonstration at the Town Clock (at
which Supervisor Leopold spoke) and
the brutal murders of two police officers by gun-fire. The dramatic shootings, unlike the many recent incidents
in which women, men and even young
people have defended their lives and
families with guns, became national
news, adding to a general perceived
urgency to “do something NOW to
end gun-violence.” While such feelings are understandable, there doesn’t
seem to be much, if any, informed
discussion of the situation around our
Constitutional possession of arms,
particularly in the context of a Federal
government which uses its military
might to murder children around the
world for political expedience. The
policies recently announced by Sec.
of State John Kerry, among others, to
directly provide weapons to the “rebels” in Syria who are murdering Syrian
civilians wholesale, are one example
of the ongoing hypocrisy which is not
mentioned. Most people who seem
unconcerned about the possibility of
malfeasance by a government that
purports itself to be responsible for
protecting us, are not aware of the
concerted effects of encroaching surveillance, militarization of our police
under Federal command, and “laws”
like the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, the NDAA
and Barack Obama’s 1,000 over-reaching Executive Orders which seem to
outline the structures of something that
resembles a dictatorship.
It’s perhaps also synchronous
that the Feb. 26 Supervisors meeting
also included the unanimous approval
by them of the Santa Cruz County
Climate Action Plan, a 158 page document that will cause unknown impacts
on Santa Cruzans’ way of life for years
to come. The origins of this plan are
shrouded in obscurity, while County
planners claim that it is in response to

California mandates designed to take
action on “climate change.” They say
the science is not subject to debate. As
the Supes voted to make this unwieldy
document County policy, Board Chairman Neal Coonerty said something to
the effect that “Even if the (climate)
premises of this are wrong, it’s better
to err on the side of caution” – even
if the well-being of the people they
purport to represent is violently compromised.

Help Educate Our
Weatherwo/men
About Chemtrails &
Geoengineering
While many of you are already
aware of the chemtrails that daily
pollute our skies and affect our
weather, most of our weatherwo/
men are not. They know that our
weather is dramatically changing,
but few understand the connection
between these unpredictable and
severe weather patterns and our
government’s decades-long secret
aerial spraying programs.
Educating these influential
people is essential in reaching critical
mass and ultimately stopping these
dangerous programs. That is why the
producers of the award-winning film
Why in the World Are They Spraying,
one of the most articulate, wellresearched films about chemtrails
& geoengineering, have started
this campaign. All you have to do is
buy the film at a discount and give
them the contact info for your local
weatherperson, and they will do the
rest. For full details, go to: http://www.
whyintheworldaretheyspraying.com/

If you would like to join with
others to educate our local community
about this issue, there is a group now
being formed to do just that. You can
connect with them at: http://www.

CHIROPRACTIC CORNER:
YOUR CRANIO-SACRAL SESSION
by Sylvia Skefich, D.C.
“
ou are likely to feel ‘knocked-out’ tired
tonight... This happens after about 80%
of first-time sessions, (usually not on
follow up sessions). You should sleep great tonight, and wake up with great energy tomorrow.
If you are here for pain relief, most people get
the best relief around middle of the next day. You
may walk out feeling greatly improved today, but
if not, just wait for tomorrow for your results.
People can actually continue to improve for up
to four days after their session, so at the end of
four days, you can look back and see what this
one session has done for you.”
This is the run down that we give our clients
after their first session involving cranio-sacral
technique at my office.
“You are likely to feel ‘knocked-out’
tired tonight.” This is what I call the “hibernation” response. Especially when combined with
chiropractic, cranio-sacral technique affects the
nervous system. The body can go into a deep and
profound rest state to integrate the changes.
“If you are here for pain relief, most
people get the best relief around the middle of
the next day.” Once we have increased the natural cranio-sacral wave in your body, that wave
continues to move through restrictions in the
muscles and joints, smoothing out tension and decreasing pain. Just like the swells of the ocean can
move a sandbar over time, so will the increased
Y
amplitude of the cranio-sacral wave smooth out
the tension in your body even after your session.
We find that the greatest pain relief comes in the
first four days after your treatment.
“You may feel emotionally sensitive or reactive for up to two days after your treatment. Your
tissues and cells become decompressed and will
continue to release the tension. Not everyone gets
emotionally reactive, but if you do find yourself
being unusually sensitive, just remember not to
attach your feelings to any current or past story
or situation in the first two days after your session. Just stay out of the thinking mind. Feel your
emotions bodily, as though they were a color or a
texture. That way the energy actually dissipates,
rather than re-cycling into a loop that regenerates
the same stored old feelings.”
“You may feel emotionally sensitive
or reactive.” The mind-body connection is a
mysterious one. We find that some people (about
20%) significantly store their emotional tension
in their body in a way that leads to the experience of a “retracing” of the same emotions after
the cranio-sacral session. It can be confusing to
experience intense emotions for apparently “no
reason,” unless you know that it is a “release”
and not an “increase” of the emotion.

Where the Path Leads
“We achieve excellence in sports because we have
a high achiever personality. That doesn’t go away
when your sport is over.”
Sir Peter Snell, 1938by David L. Biles, D.D.S., M.A.
F
or those of you familiar with
my meanderings uniting
dentistry with other disciplines, you may have probably
noted that I have posted no original
columns for nearly twelve months.
Fortunately, I have been writing for
The Connection Magazine now for
many years, and have accumulated
a bank of articles, worthy of retrieval and re-releasing…I think.
The past year was filled with
a considerable amount of life and
strife as I plodded through my
59-60 year birthday interval with
a certain amount of consternation
and trepidation. My father passed
away too young at 59, the victim
of a lifestyle acquired from years
of service in the US Army Medical Corps. Perhaps only naturally,
the past year was interesting, as I
anticipated becoming 60.
As I mentioned, this marks
the first new material I have released in about 12 months to
my wonderful publishers, Mr.
Thom Coby and Ms. Pattie Mills.
Both have graciously kept my
educational columns available
for additional review during the
entire year of 2012. I thank them
both from the bottom of my heart.
They have sifted and selected my
material thoughtfully, generally
under unnecessary stress for which
I humbly publicly apologize. It is
an honor to have the privilege to
share my insights to you through
their efforts.
The Connection Magazine is
a beacon of truth, and I am grateful to be one of a number of select
writers who have also chosen to
share their expertise. Thom and
Pattie have courageously educated
the public about the hazards of
fluoride, mercury, chem-trails,
aspartame, Fukushima radiation,
and many other controversial
topics. They are quite worthy of
your unsolicited letters, praise,
and emails.
The year off was not without effort and accomplishment,
however. I did some serious soulsearching, contemplating many
topics as I grappled with the new
identity of being a grandparent
times two. I continued doing twice
monthly radio shows on KSCO
1080 am, www.KSCO.com with
Donald Davidson on Perspectives, noon to 1 pm, second and
third Saturdays of each month. As
I reviewed the past year’s guests
professionally solicited by our pro-
ducer, AnaLucia, I was amazed at
the caliber of guest and the topics
of discussion. As I wonder about
the effectiveness of our broadcast
efforts I take note of the local
paper.
Today, March 6, 2013 as I review the print edition of the Santa
Cruz Sentinel, I note in the far left
column the headlines that proclaim
Report: Drugs, lack of vaccines a
challenge. Hurray! We may not be
winning the war but we are making
a dent. I am proud that an educated
informed group of citizens in the
Santa Cruz County area, through
the efforts of concerned health
educators, have chosen to enhance
their immunity rather than take the
allopathic path.
Years ago I interviewed John
Erb, who co-wrote The Slow Poisoning of America with his spouse,
Michelle. They were Americans
who had moved to Canada because John was convinced that
the United States population was
slowly being poisoned by multiple
means and sources. At first I pooh
poohed his claims. Nowadays, I
am more supportive.
•••
I have also come to believe,
as I have heard others claim, that
it will be the patients who bring
about the changes we need to see
in dentistry….It won’t come from
within via the legislative process
as I so painfully learned in my personal ex-communication. …. The
status quo remains steadfast in its
efforts to thwart logical policy. Too
much money is at stake, direct and
indirect, seen, and unseen.….
There is a resolution currently being crafted in Berkeley by
two subcommittees in response to
a request by a resident that the city
of Berkeley take appropriate steps
to protects its citizens from mercury poisoning, principally that
acquired through chronic exposure
to silver colored mercury fillings
still commonly placed.
I have made the 2+ hour
round trip five times to date on
invitation to speak on behalf of an
outright ban on the use of mercury.
The resolution process has been
rightfully slow and cautious, but
not altogether transparently public
as the lobbyist from the California
Dental Association has had weekly
calls with the former chairwoman.
I am disturbed that they were on a
first name basis. No violation of
the Brown Act as CDA supporters
were quick to claim.
Hmm, perhaps that is why
the resolution’s latest draft has
been watered down, with the meat
taken out of it. No outright ban, as
requested, currently remains in the
resolution draft, nor are there any
enforcement provisions. The only
contentious topic now on the table
is whether or not dentists will be
required to have patients sign an
informed consent before each mercury silver colored filling is placed.
The California Dental Association
says no for many reasons. Other
activists who are willing to travel
and support in Berkeley please

shall see, what we shall see. Que
sera, sera….
Final thought in this intro
column:
PARENTS with any children who have any teeth….it is
your responsibility to brush and
floss your children’s teeth if you
want to better assure that their
teeth will not decay, which is really….rot. You cannot expect your
children to perform with the skill
and the discipline it takes to prevent decay…. That is an unrealistic
expectation held by all too many
parents. You must, I repeat must,
learn to brush and floss your kid’s
teeth…and effectively, until they
have fully mastered the skills and
discipline. Until that happens your
children are at risk for developing
bad health due to microorganisms
entering their bodies through the
breaks or decay in their teeth…..
Imagine a decayed tooth like a
break in the skin, a wound. That
is, in essence, what dental decay
is…a wound. Start now….
For those curious of the
quote…Sir Peter was a classmate,
colleague, and acquaintance of
mine. A recent article on him in
my UCD alumni news sparked my
memory to recall many other connections to be revealed in future
columns. Stay tuned…

LIVE TO 100: TIPS FOR
HEALTHY AGING
T
GMOs cannot be considered
safe until there are valid, nonpropriatary, long-term studies
of their effects on humans and
the environment!
he number of people living longer is increasing dramatically.
An estimated 4.2 million U.S.
residents now fall into the age group
of the “oldest old”—85 years and
older—with more than 40,000 having reached the age of 100. By 2050,
according to census projections, 1
million Americans will celebrate their
100th birthdays.
Evidence suggests, however, that
good genes are only a small part of the
longevity puzzle. In fact, researchers
now believe that chronic illness is not
an inevitable consequence of aging,
but that it results more often from
lifestyle choices that we’re perfectly
free to reject.
Follow these tips for healthy aging.
Embrace a Positive Attitude
• According to research, a positive attitude is key to the ability to
live longer and can lead to a healthier,
higher quality of life.
• Positive emotions may affect
overall health through improving the
immune function or indirectly, such
as by strengthening social support
networks.
Challenge Your Mind
• Research shows that the more
educated we are, the longer we live.
• Take advantage of opportunities
and possibilities that have not been
available to you earlier in life, such
as travel, a second career, volunteer
activities, musical instruction,
writing or various
classes in areas of
interest.
• Consider
mentally challenging activities
such as crossword
puzzles or learning a new language.
Limit Stress and Stay Connected
• Humor, meditation, exercise and
optimism are good ways to naturally
reduce stress and relieve tension.
• Stay in touch with family and
friends. Social contacts may encourage
us to take better care of ourselves—by
cutting down on smoking and drinking, for example, or seeking medical
treatment earlier for symptoms that
may indicate serious problems.
• Friends may also help us get
through difficult times by offering
coping mechanisms and positively affecting our mood and self-esteem.
Embrace Exercise
• Find fun ways to stay in shape
and feel good, such as dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, swimming,
walking or jogging.
• Engage in a minimum of 30
minutes of moderate physical activity
on most days of the week.
• Include strength training, as
directed by a personal trainer or healthcare provider, to maintain muscle
mass, which helps burn fat more efficiently, reduce your heart disease risk
and improve your balance.
Make Healthy Diet Choices
• Choose whole, natural foods
like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, good (unsaturated) fats, nuts,
legumes and healthy sources of protein
(white meat, fish and eggs).
• Overly processed and refined
foods often contain more calories and
fewer nutrients.
Choose Quality Health Care
• Talk to your doctor of chiropractic about other ways to improve your
quality of life.
• Doctors of chiropractic are
trained and licensed to examine and
treat the entire body with specific
emphasis on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, wellness and
prevention.
• Even if you are healthy and
make good preventive choices, it is
essential to have access to a good,
trustworthy healthcare provider.
• Be sure that your healthcare
provider supports all forms of healing
and various approaches to health care
to present you with the safest and most
effective treatment options available,
encourages you to be responsible for
your health and involves you in decisions regarding your care—except
for acute, potentially life-threatening
emergencies.

Imbolc (Celtic Spring) Salad
by Geoff Randolph &
Robyn Randolph
ere in the Highlands of Scotland, we just
celebrated Imbolc last
week with our friends
at the Newbold House
(sister community of
Findhorn). Imbolc is the
first day of Celtic spring,
and is celebrated at the halfway point between
the conventional first days of spring and winter.
The Celtic seasons are centered around the sun.
For example, summer solstice is exactly in the
middle of the Celtic summer.
As part of the celebration, we heard Celtic
legends and stories related to the start of the
season. To really feel the arrival of spring in
our bodies, we all got our hands dirty helping
to plant the first seeds of the new season into
the earth. The seeds were lovingly tucked into
the soil, serenaded by lovely live flute and accordion music!
Despite this festive ceremony, and the fact
that the days are finally starting to get noticeably
longer, it is still too early to pick fresh lettuce
from the garden. As we opted for a long beach
walk today on the Moray Firth instead of going
grocery shopping, when it came time to making

dinner, we needed to make a tasty raw Imbolc
Salad using the seasonal vegetables that we had
on hand.
The carrots grow well up here in the sandy
soil, and there is actually a large farm that raises
over 1000 acres of organic carrots not too far
from where we live. I cheated a bit, and used
one red pepper and an apple that are not really
seasonal. It’s nice to be able to buy imported
organic produce at the local supermarket!
If I had some handy, I would use (seasonally
appropriate) celeriac root, and grate it. Celeriac
is a good source of vitamin K, which helps to
increase bone mass by promoting osteotrophic
activity in the bones. Research studies suggest that perhaps celeriac has a role in aiding
Alzheimer’s patients by limiting neuron damage
in the brain.
Creating Inner Freedom
in ingenious ways. For example, the person
may dissociate–only being aware of the traumatic
situation from a point of view outside of the body.
Or the brain might create a state of amnesia–the
traumatized person may completely block out
and forget what happened. But the person does
not do this consciously. The brain does this automatically, to protect the person’s life and sanity,
and it does a very good job in most cases.
However, the consequences of the brain
defending someone against trauma are not just
short-term protection. The brain also creates
long-term consequences that can have a very
negative effect on the person’s life. The brain,
when faced with cataclysmic information, will
also “re-write” the person’s beliefs about life to
prevent them from getting hurt again, often in
literal and unhelpful ways. A person whose home
was destroyed in a
fire as a child may
end up with the following beliefs from
the brain: “Home is
not safe,” “Fire is always dangerous,” or,
“No matter what I try
to do to keep myself
safe, at any time the
rug can get pulled out
from under me.” As
an adult, that person
may feel stuck–they
can’t seem to stay
in one place for long
or they never leave
their home. They are
phobic around fire.
They’re anxious all
the time. They can’t
trust relationships.
They sabotage their
careers. They feel ir-
This salad does require a food processor.
You could do it with a hand grater, but with a
good processor, it only takes about 5 minutes
to assemble!

ritable and don’t understand why.
In order to heal, first the trauma will have to
be revisited, and the negative beliefs uncovered
and addressed. Often, when an individual realizes their beliefs are not ‘facts’ about reality, and
can be changed, there is great relief. In addition,
EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) is a very powerful therapeutic technique
that re-trains the brain and releases trauma. As a
result of facing the past and reclaiming the truth,
much greater measures of personal happiness,
peace and inner freedom can occur.

THEODORA KERRY
I am going to tell you a few stories and
events of a special woman in my life, her name is
Theodora and she is my mother. Let’s start in the
beginning, when I was born in 1970, Theodora
thought long and hard on a name for me; She
wanted to give me a special name. After a year
of thinking and contemplating on a name, her
roommate had begun to call me Gabe and it
stuck, like many warrior tribes around the world,
I had to earn my warrior name. Raising her son
on her own was no easy task and she did the
best a single parent could do, teaching me what I
needed to learn. Nurturing me and giving me lots
of love, she also taught me to be self sufficient,
she taught me to sew a button on a shirt, how to
make a salad worthy of a photo shoot and how to
do a break job on her truck. Through her political
activism, Theodora has always been dedicated
to making a difference and making this world a
better place, what an awesome role model and
inspiration she has been to us all. Theodora never
forgot the importance of having fun—as she loves
to dance, frequenting music festivals and . . . she
has become a twirling icon.
Gabe
Theodora has worked for the magazine
for many years now doing Distribution, music,
journalism, research, and the Billboard. We are
in such gratitude. And, she has been & is a major
activist contributing to the good for us all.

DR. SYLVIA SKEFICH
I came to Sylvia’s office about 6 years ago to
apply for her Office Manager position. It has been
an amazing 6 years. I have never met another
human being who has so much integrity, honesty,
wisdom & who gives so much of herself. Sylvia
is this bright light that helps people, animals &
the environment. She never stops learning more
or wanting to share more. Sylvia has not only
changed my life tremendously but I have seen
her help people which entails changing their lives
drastically.
I call Sylvia, not only my boss but my mentor,
friend, confident & above all healer.
Sylvia to you! You deserve this title as you are
an amazing woman & I am so grateful that you
became a part of my life. Thank you for all that you
do, but mostly for being you. Christine
Dr. Skefich has been one of our longest-term
Columnist with her “Chiropracic Corner” Column in

so well, such a person with the utmost integrity and

PADDY EASTON GRAVES
Writer, Martial Artist, Golf Instructor,
Yoga Instructor, Spiritual Mentor, Activist &
Mother. These are just a few titles that might
describe Paddy Easton Graves. Unwilling to follow
life’s well trodden path, Paddy has consistently
and boldly followed her heart and her own
inner guidance and in doing so has become an
inspiration and teacher for many. Diagnosed with
cancer at a young age, she ignored the doctor’s
demands that she undergo radiation treatments
and instead healed herself through a myriad of
holistic alternatives. On the verge of a career in
professional golf, she switched from playing right
handed to left, starting all over in pursuit of her
Theodo
higher self and her “authentic” swing. She and
her husband, Steven Graves, successfully built
green projects at a time when many considered
it an unnecessary risk. Paddy is a passionate
martial artist studying many styles and competing
in both Jiu-Jitsu and Jiu-Sool-Do. She’s truly an
exceptional woman, living an extraordinary life and
demonstrating that no matter who you are or where
you come from, all things are possible. Paddy is
the author of Essential Love, the Call to Awaken
and has been a columnist in the Connection
Magazine for over 14 years. Steve
Paddy has taught us all, repeatedly about
LOVE; how important it is—and, that it (love) is
everything! She is an accomplished Martial Artist
and has also written for our Martial Arts Column.
She brings ‘light’ into our lives and to everyone’s
life that she touches. Pattie
SUSAN KOVALIK
Susan Kovalik, classroom teacher and
curriculum innovator for over 35 years, has
spent the past 23 years developing a model for

In 1980, she developed the ITI Model Teaching
Week, an innovative way to show teachers
how ITI strategies work with students in their
own school. Since that beginning, more than
40,000 teachers have attended the one-week
experience, watching how their students respond

to brain-compatible curriculum and instructional
strategies and becoming inspired to begin their
own ITI journey.
Additionally she has produced over a dozen
videotapes documenting ITI in action.

when things were ‘pasting it up’; not digital (and,
Donna, Bette & Pattie were bummed that it was
changing to ‘digital’ which we thought would be
far more difficult). Anyway. . . . we had a lot of fun
with Donna and all worked so hard. Donna never
complained, stayed late, always worked hard in
our ‘production’, etc. What a jewel. And, as Bette
would say, with our blessed Angel—our Donna.

BETTE TENNANT
My beloved mother began this magazine
with us 20 years ago. She worked on it for 12
years; helping with ‘production’ in our residence
on the Westside of SC and then, driving home
to Watsonville at 3am (or later; all night!?) many
times. It was back when we started out with
‘cutting & pasting’. Bette was such a perfectionist
and made beautiful clothing with fine work. This
helped us when pages literally had to be pasted
together—like cutting through ‘words’’ (tiny!!) and
then having to paste that tiny part perfectly joined
up with another tiny piece of a word. And, she did
it perfectly—real artistry & patience!
So much more to say, however, THANK YOU
DEAR MOM for everything! Will have to suffice.
Oh, and dear Bette was such a support in all
ways with our endeavors, like the “Heart, Spirit
& Groove” Festival at Highlands Park in August
2001. Pattie & Thom
ANNE COBY
Thom’s mother Anne was such a thoughtful
person. She would ‘watch out’ for the magazine
to make sure it was visible, go restock them in
various locations and, especially throughout
Scotts Valley area.
She did this in her 80’s. What a gal. Always
so brave about being out on the road, driving, by
herself—independent.
What fortunate folks were we to have Anne’s
help.

‘Women, Break Your Shackles and Awaken’ — Amma
A
by Mata Amritanandamayi
MMA WISHES TO
EXPRESS her deep sorrow
about the recent trend of men in
our country to trample women underfoot
as pleasure-giving objects, with no consideration of human values. Is this country that taught unique and divine thoughts
such as worshipping God as Mother, seeing God Consciousness in everything and
showing tolerance to the world, now
becoming a land of asuric, demonic
minds? The latest atrocity was the most
brutal physical and emotional abuse that a
young girl in Delhi had to go through,
which finally claimed her life.
No one can question the reality
of motherhood—that man is created
from woman. Yet, those who refuse to
come out of the cocoon of their narrow
minds will never be able to comprehend
this—you cannot explain light to those
who only know darkness.
Who should awaken woman?
What obstructs her awakening? The truth
is that no external power can possibly
obstruct woman or her innate qualities of
motherhood—qualities such as love,
empathy and patience. It is she—she
alone—who has to awaken herself. A
woman’s mind is the only real barrier
that prevents this from happening.
The rules and superstitious
beliefs that degrade women, continue to
prevail in most countries. The primitive
customs invented by men to exploit and
subjugate women remain alive to this
day. Women and their minds have
become entangled in the cobweb of
those customs.
An elephant can uproot huge trees
with its trunk. When an elephant living in
captivity is still a calf, it is tethered to a
tree with a strong rope. The calf elephant
tries with all its might to break the rope.
When its efforts prove futile, it finally
gives up. Later, when the same elephant
is fully grown, it can be tethered to any
small tree with a thin rope. It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or
breaking the rope. But, because its mind
has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest
attempt to break free.
This is what is happening to
women. The infinite potential inherent in
man and woman is the same. If women
really want to, they can easily break the
shackles of the rules and conditioning that
society has imposed on them.
A woman’s greatest strength lies
in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can
help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can
ever accomplish. In today’s world, where

acknowledged enough in our history
books or in the social media, their contribution has been prolific. This legacy has
to continue and grow with time.
The forthcoming age should be
dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to
actualize the qualities of motherhood
within themselves. This is the only way
to realize our dream of peace and harmony. And, it can be done! It is entirely up
to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but
to serve others with love and compas-
sion, and to inspire women and men
alike through the example of our lives.
Let us all pray that cruel minds,
which denigrate women, be transformed.
May the Paramatma help them to follow
our rich tradition, and respect the women
of this country and all other countries.

Women Rising
The old structures, based solely on hunger
for power, autonomy, competition, control
and other maladies, divorced from the feminine and separated from life, have led us to
where we are today.
This era is ending now. The Dalai
Lama and wise elders have recently said:
Women will lead the change in the world.
We are bringing forth a new way- or is it an
ancient one, we have always known deep
down, arising from the heart of life itself?
This powerful movement is not a fight
against men, nor is it the establishment of a
new matriarchy. A paradigm shift is happening for both men and women. Women are
asked to come forward with their voices and
gifts. Men are called to support women and
the causes that are in benefit to life, with all
their might. Some men already are.
Hers is not a lonesome heroine journey,
but women leading in cooperation. Nor is it
about women to become hardened, some
have taken on this coat to reach the ladder of
success in a male oriented business world.
Nor has sleeping beauty time to wait for
prince charming to rescue her, for she is waking by the kiss of life and a greater calling, in
which she has an important part to play.
Sex trafficking of children, mainly

N ENOROUS VOLCANO is
erupting, the rumblings of which
are heard by those, whose ears are
open. A monumental change is happening at
this very moment on our entire planet. The
power of love is unleashing a tremendous
force, it’s momentum is building and is
unstoppable, taking hold of those who are
ready to break through to change our course.
Like a mighty tidal wave, women and
girls are rising up all around the world, in a
magnitude never seen before throughout history. She is standing at the bow, courageously turning the ship for the sake of all life.
The river is growing every day, our
voices are speaking out on behalf of our
ancestors, children to For centuries, patriarchal structures have dominated the world,
creating suffering, which has affected each
person, plant and animal in every part of the
planet. Spirituality and religion has often
pointed toward transcendence, the formless,
emptiness, heaven, and a distant god ruling,
but left out the feminine side. It left out connection, immanence and interdependence,
the divine in form- found in the smallest
pebble, in the silent growing of majestic
trees, in your body and the face of humanity.

Reverend, Reiki Master Teacher
everything is being contaminated and
made unnatural, women should take
extra care that her qualities of motherhood—her essential nature as a
woman—don’t become contaminated
and distorted. Yet, whether woman or
man, one’s real humanity comes to light
only when the feminine and masculine
qualities within one are balanced.
ndia has had such a great legacy
of women who have contributed to all
spheres of development in society; may it
be warriors, teachers, spiritual luminaries,
musicians or social workers. Though not
girls even as young as 4, is one of the biggest and fastest growing industries around
the world. We are joining to end the worst
horror and crime of our times. The earth is
ravished and polluted, but nature is not a disposable commodity, nor are girls. Yet, in
many places of the world girls do not even
receive education, thereby being trapped in a
cycle of poverty, forced into child marriage,
sex slavery and used for cheap labor.
Women, still to this day with the same qualifications and skills, receive less pay than a
man in the USA. The amount of single
mothers, who are living below the poverty
line is staggering. Women are still being
raped as a normal practice, especially by
military and in war torn lands- like she is a
sex object to be taken, used and then thrown
away. In the western world alone, one out of
4 girls are molested or raped, before reaching adulthood. Almost every second girl in
the US is on a diet before she turns 20, hating her body, because beauty is defined by a
male and sex oriented media market. The
sacredness of the feminine, the woman as a
human being has been violated, degraded,
dismissed, oppressed, treated like a disposable object, and destroyed. It is one of the
biggest issues we are facing in the world.
How we have treated women, is the same as
what we have done toward the earth. This is
how we have related to life itself far too
long. The turning is happening with each
one of us.
The recent event of “One Billion
Rising” to end violence against women and
girls, happened in 205 countries on
Valentines Day- a powerful sign of a new
time! The tide is rising and reached the
masses now. Each beneficial act, however
little or big, makes a difference and is needed now: By creating equality, by valuing
girls and women, to stop actions like sex
trafficking, to speak up on behalf of those
who are more vulnerable like children,
elders, animals, by caring for nature, by
healing what was broken, by an embodied
spirituality and a responsible way of living….by hearing and empowering women
to lead us forward now- and all of us standing together hand in hand- for real love.
Many already have answered the calling
-and more are joining in every single day.
Come, get on your horse and ride with all of
us- this one is truly for LIFE!

FDA Approved H1N1 Vaccines Contain Ingredients
Known to Cause Cancer and Death
by Dawn Crim,Vactruth
ost health experts will agree
that vaccine reactions can
occur. It is estimated that
roughly 1 in every million people
will react to their vaccine. Even then,
health officials maintain that it is usually a simple case of inflammation at
the injection site and/or a slight fever.
On a rare occasion, anaphylactic shock
may occur due to the patient reacting
to a substance that they are allergic to.
However, the FDA recently approved
four H1N1 vaccines that not only
contain very questionable ingredients,
but some of those ingredients have
even been proven to cause cancer
and death.
The FDA has awarded H1N1
contracts to the following companies:
MedImmune, LLC (1), CSL Limited
(2), Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics
Limited (3), and Sanofi Pasteur (4).
Their package inserts became public
knowledge in recent weeks.
[efoods] All four vaccines list
hypersensitivity to eggs as a contraindication (1) (2) (3) (4). This means
that it is not advisable to administer
any one of these products to a person
suffering from a severe egg allergy or
M
egg protein allergy. This contraindication may affect as many as 15
million people (based on a population
of 300 million). (5). While parents are
instructed not to feed their infant eggs
until 1 year of age, these same infants
will be exposed to eggs by way of their
H1N1 vaccine and/or seasonal flu vaccine beginning at 6 months of age.
CSL’s vaccine (2) also lists
hypersensitivity to chicken protein
as a contraindication. “While most
people who are sensitive to eggs can
eat chicken, there is one protein that
is present in both eggs and poultry
—alpha-livetin, or chicken serum
albumin — that can cause allergies to
both foods.” (6) It is unknown at this
time how many people are allergic to
the aforementioned proteins. Going
into anaphylactic shock is a very real
possibly if one were to receive an ingredient that he/she is allergic to.
Neomycin and polymyxin are
listed as contraindications for CSL’s
(2) and Novartis’ (3) vaccines. “Neomycin may cause damage to the kidneys and/or nerves. Kidney function
and drug levels in the blood may be
monitored with blood tests during
treatment. Tell your doctor if you ex-
perience decreased urination, hearing
loss, ringing in the ears, feeling of fullness in the ears, dizziness, numbness,
skin tingling, muscle twitching, or seizures which may be signs of kidney or
nerve damage.” (7) According to Teva
Pharmaceuticals, the effects of neomycin may not be evident until long after
the medication has been discontinued.
Just exactly how long is unclear at this
time. (8) Polymyxin has its own set
of possible adverse reactions. “Neurotoxic reactions may be manifested
by irritability, weakness, drowsiness,
ataxia, perioral paresthesia, numbness
of the extremities, and blurring of vision. These are usually associated with
high serum levels found in patients
with impaired renal function and/or
nephrotoxicity.” (9)
Gentamicin (10) is listed as a
contraindication for MedImmune’s
vaccine (1). It too, has its own list
of possible side effects, which may
include nephrotoxicity and/or neurotoxicity.

New Dimensions of Relationship with Joyce and Barry Vissell
“Am I Too Much for You?”
Do you ever wonder if you’re too much for
those you love? Do you ever worry that you will
burden them? Do you ever feel that your loved
ones already have enough on their
plate to be concerned about your
upsets? These are probably feelings that we all have from time to
time. We feel it is better to hold in
our upset feelings rather than take
a chance that we might further
burden our friends or partner.
Two women friends came
to a workshop of ours. These
two single women had been best
friends for a long time and really
seemed more like twin sisters than
friends. They cared and loved each other very
amuch. Because they each held very responsible
jobs many miles from each other, they only saw
one another several times a year. But they talked
on the phone every day, sometimes for just a few
minutes. They also worried about one another.
They worried that the current boy friend was not
the right one. They worried that the other was
working too hard or not in good enough health.
Their relationship to one another was very touching to the rest of us in the workshop.
During the afternoon session, the one
friend came to the other friend in tears. Because
of her concern for her friend, she had been hiding her own feelings of depression and despair
that she would ever feel okay again. Through
tears streaming down her face she said, “Am I
too much for you?” You seem to be having so
much of your own troubles to deal with, and your
troubles seem bigger than mine.”
Her friend looked at her with such love
and said, “When you share your troubles with
me, it helps me so much and is the greatest gift.
Even though my challenges are great right now,
when you share yours with me, it gives me a
chance to step out of my own difficulties and
truly be there for you. I have known that you have
been withholding your feelings from me, and
that has brought a distance to our relationship.
I want to hear fully from you. You can never be
too much for me.”
In a couple’s workshop, a woman was
complaining that her husband of thirty years
seemed so different lately. She knew he had been
going through some intense problems with his
siblings over the estate left by his parents, as well
as work problems. Usually, in their marriage,
they shared everything, but now he was silent and
rarely spoke with her about his stresses. To be
sure, she had her own share of problems taking
care of her elderly parents as well as having to
continue to work full time. But her biggest pain
was her husband’s absence of communication.
Finally he confessed that he had started
using marijuana again after quitting for ten years.
His marijuana use had been a major issue in the
past, and since he quit they were getting along
much better. He couldn’t look into her eyes as he
spoke, “You seem to be having so many of your
own problems that I didn’t want to burden you
with mine. But I have not been able to handle
the stress on my own so I turned to marijuana to
numb my feelings and allow me to go on.”
She said, “Whenever you’ve shared your
upset feelings with me, we’ve grown closer.
I want the closeness with you by knowing
everything you are going through.
Numbing as a way of protecting me
is actually pushing me away and is
very painful.”
This man agreed to be honest
with his wife in the future and to
stop using marijuana. He realized
his authentic self was not too much
for her, and putting on a false front
was pushing her away.
Sometimes I’ve wondered
if I am too much for Barry. When
something upsetting happens to me, or to our
children, I tend to talk about it a lot. And sometimes I wonder if Barry would like me to not
talk so much. So I asked him about this. He told
me that my feelings are never too much for him,
but sometimes the timing is not right, especially
right before we go to sleep when he is too tired.
At these times he may be quiet and sometimes
I get hurt. So we agreed to a plan. When I need
to talk about something, I’ll ask him if it’s a
good time. And he has agreed to honestly tell
me if the timing is not right, and agree to the
next available time. So far this plan has worked
very well. And I have asked the same of him,
for sometimes he brings up something stressful
right before we go to sleep. I want to hear about
everything that bothers Barry, so I agree to talk
about it the next day.
It is important to share our upsets, concerns and worries with loved ones. Hiding these
from them only creates a feeling of separateness.
Sharing them at an appropriate time can create
closeness, especially if we begin the conversation by saying, “I need your help and wisdom
with something that is bothering me.” Then see
how you are not too much for your loved one.

THE R0UND CORNER
The 21st Century Storytelling Revival...
by Noel Murphy
irds store information
on how to build a nest
internally; instincts
are stored in the mind and
body of the bird. She simply
takes action based on this
“body” knowledge, and so
thrives. We humans are a bit
different. We have so many
“instincts” to store that we end up
storing our subterranean information
externally. Let’s think about this. We
weave our collective un/conscious
into... stories. Of course, with today’s
media, we have unfortunately polluted our story power. The drunken
Irish belting out stories... slowly
fading. Rabbi mentors... less and less
students. African Tribal Grandfather,
Native American Medicine Man…
and so on. Each culture, once protected by the Storyteller at the fireside,
now wanders. Some cultures even
disappear.
Libraries evolved— so far so
B
good. Then radio and
television— not so
good. Disney innocently sought to protect the
integrity of storytelling
by leading the way, but
these efforts got perverted as the humility
of both storyteller and
listener eroded—even
worse. Now media first sells a product, then entertains and beckons us
to numbness. From today’s digital
storytelling, in all its forms, we now
take in strange messages—the proper
way to hold a Glock pistol in a shootout. As a result, we now internalize
less and less about belonging and life
purpose, or about practical matters
such as how to hold a town together,
or a family, or a marriage, or even
oneself. Dignity, belonging, and
whole-system comprehension seem
to have been traded for violence and
fluff. Are we screwed then?
Enter the 21st century Storyteller:
founder of the Harvard Storytellers
Workshop might tell you, “You got to
give you”. So tell me your story and
I’ll tell mine, and the middle-of-themiddle of the children will be spellbound, and possibility will abound,
and we can then give all the electronics
a much needed rest. So that being said,
once upon a time...
Noel Murphy is a leadership
coach and founder of the speaker’s
gym. He also leads the Harvard Storytellers Workshop Saturday mornings
at the Discovery Gym.
Noel is seen weekly on Channel
27 Santa Cruz on the TV series, “The
Noel Murphy Show”, Every Weds at

The modern shaman. The woman
who conducts the symphony of wild
women. She is a storyteller. The man
who can awaken the soul. He is a sacred storyteller. The storyteller awakens identity, purpose, and belonging
in others; she is a lightning rod for the
inner spark. It’s in every one of us to be
a storyteller. And stories are the heart’s
earned riches. The following Robert
Heinlein passage reinforces the idea
that the ones who embrace life fully
are rewarded with stories to share.
“A human being should be able
to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a
building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders,
cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty
meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.”
Not sharing your experience may
box you as a specialist. Brother Blue,
Mindfulness – The Mental Massage
by Hollye Hurst, MFT, PhD
indfulness — a
buzzword we’ve
been hearing a lot
lately. I’ve practiced mindfulness and meditation for 30
years and based much of my
work as a psychotherapist on
these practices for over 25
years. I’m happy to share this
simple but powerful method
for healing and growth that offers what
I call a “mental massage.”
Mindfulness is whole-body/mind
awareness of your experience of living
in this present moment. Have you noticed you’re often subtly (or obviously!) leaning forward into an imaginary
future or preoccupied with rehashing
the past? When we’re habitually spinning our wheels thinking about life, it
feels exhausting and unsatisfying. Life
rushes by when we’re living “in our
head” rather than being fully present
in this moment.
Jon Kabat-Zinn says: “Mindfulness provides a simple but powerful
way to get unstuck and back in touch
with our wisdom and natural aliveness.
I like to think of mindfulness simply as
the art of conscious living.”
Jon created Mindfulness-based
Stress Reduction, a program that for
three decades has helped thousands of
people across the country find relief
from stress and chronic pain. Current
research indicates that mindfulness is
as effective as antidepressant medication in preventing depression relapses
—without unhealthy side effects!
Mindfulness also lowers heart rate and
improves immune functioning. And
its portable—no special equipment or
location needed, only a few moments
of attention.
I’m grateful that mindfulness
and meditation practices have nour-
M
ished me for 30
years. In the 1980s,
while working as
a therapist and in
graduate school,
I experienced the
power and promise
of mindfulness and
decided to make
it the core of my
integrative work for
healing and growth – for individuals,
couples and groups. Recently a client
said “Mindfulness supports me in being more open in our therapy work
and more real, self-aware, and present
in my life.” For couples, moments of
mindfulness help calm and clear their
minds so they can speak from the heart
and thoughtfully apply new ways of
communicating. One client added:
“when sitting quietly
together, it feels like my
partner and I bond on a
much deeper level.”
How can mindfulness
support you?
• Relieve depression
and anxiety
• Engage authentically and skillfully
in relationships
•Transform habitual
patterns of thought,
feeling and behavior
• Adapt to transition
and loss
• Experience some
relief from chronic
illness and pain
• More creativity and
focus
• More happiness,
self-acceptance,
peace of mind, aliveness
• Develop emotional
intelligence, equanimity, more
empathy
• Gain clarity, purpose and alignment with higher values
• Insight and wisdom
Mindfulness originated in Buddhism, but you don’t have to be interested in Buddhism to practice and
benefit. Buddhism encourages practice
rather than belief. Buddha didn’t teach
doctrines about enlightenment but
rather how to realize enlightenment
—and the way we realize enlightenment is through our direct experience.
Through mindfulness, we experience
life directly and fully in this moment,
with no mental filters separating us
from being completely present. The
sunlight of awareness can then reveal
ordinary life as it truly is—sacred.
Hollye Hurst, MFT, PhD (East-
West Psychology, CIIS), ordained
member of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Zen
order.
I’m happy to support you in learning mindfulness and other means of
healing and growth in my Santa Cruz
practice for individuals and couples. I
also offer SandPlay Sessions and small
groups including The SandPlay Experience, BodySoul and DreamLife—using dreams for healing, creativity and
reclaiming inner wisdom. My website

Using Hypnosis & NLP for Allergies
by Rainya Dann
hat is an Allergy? An allergy is an overreaction on the part of the
immune system. Michael
Levy, an immunologist
who worked for the World
Health Organization said,
“Allergies are like a phobia
of the immune system.”
Phobias are overreactions
to something. Allergies,
then, are like overreactions
of the immune system to
things that were not necessarily dangerous
in and of themselves, but that at one time
your body thought they were.
Allergic responses can be eliminated
quickly using Hypnotherapy and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with a powerful technique called the Counter-Example
Process designed by masterful NLP teachers
Robert Dilts and Tim Halbom.
Allergies tend to develop during times
when you are in a life transition. If you have
an allergy, think back to when it began. In
my work I have found that when a client
is transitioning from one way of being to
another they find themselves off balance
and the immune system is in a heightened
state of alert. An allergic response happens
when the immune system mistakenly thinks
something that is not harmful to the body is
actually dangerous. So, an allergy is basically a protective reaction on the part of the
immune system. Life transitions that can
induce such overreactions include starting
school, moving, puberty, pregnancy, divorce
and much more.
You can clear your system of allergic
and other unhealthy overreactions! When
I assist clients in this process, the first step
we take is reflecting on when it first began.
The person then thanks their body for trying
to protect them. We then acknowledge that
their body has been dealing with the issue

in a less than resourceful way and it can make
other choices.
One man I worked
with was allergic to cats.
We discovered that his
cat allergies started
when he moved from
one home to another at
age 12. We used the
techniques and now he
is no longer allergic to
cats. In fact, he now
makes friends with stray
cats who visit his house daily.
Helping people develop a good relationship with their inner mind is an important part of the healing work. When you
have rapport with your deeper self, healing
can happen naturally and quickly. Often our
body is going out of its way to communicate
something to us. An allergy can be a message from your deeper mind to take better
care of yourself, to slow down or signal an
alert that you’ve gotten off a healthy path,
that it’s time to become true to yourself.
Hypnosis (which is deep relaxation) and
NLP techniques are gentle, yet powerful
ways to turn within and listen to the messages of our deeper selves as we move ahead
with greater health and happiness.
Always I encourage clients to utilize
medical resources. What I can offer is powerful tools for emotional healing. As Bruce
Lipton says, “everything in your mind can
heal everything in your body.”

Excel as a Leader
by Karin Leonard
hether you are a business owner, a
manager or a top-level executive,
you interact, direct and engage with
others every day. You are likely to be bright,
highly skilled and shine at what you do – that
is what makes you successful. The question is,
could you become an even better leader? Below
we examine typical factors that can facilitate a
quantum leap in leadership ability.
W
Build Bridges and Boundaries
Tom, director of marketing at a booming
software company, has a talent for getting the job
done. They call him “Just-do-it-Tom”. However,
his efficiency at moving forward comes with a
certain abruptness. Tom does not take time out to
consider others, and he often offends employees
as well as customers. By not establishing rapport,
Tom is losing long-term effectiveness. Balancing
tasks with the importance of honoring relationship is more successful in the end.
If you are typically more goal-oriented
than relationship-oriented, experiment with
meeting others where they are, before you lead in
the direction you want to go. In case you tend to
be too relationship centered, and find that you do
not get enough things done, set clear boundaries
with others about your availability.
Lead with Mutual Respect
Lisa, senior manager at a pharmaceutical
firm, has what it takes to be promoted to a director
position. She has winning ideas, and gets along
well with employees and coworkers. However,
Lisa tends to hold back in meetings and does not
provide strong enough leadership with her direct
reports. Lisa, for fear of being perceived as aggressive, fails to be assertive when necessary.
Learning to distinguish healthy assertiveness
from aggression is key to effective leadership.
Assertiveness is built on mutual respect, and assumes that both parties can win. Become more
at ease with asserting what you want by gradually
extending your comfort zone: Take small risks,
make clear requests and only agree to what you
can and want to do.
Put the Oxygen Mask on Yourself First
These days, being a leader and having
a life out of balance are almost synonymous.
However, to have your career and your health

last, make self-care
a priority. This is
a must. Burnt-out
leaders are no good
to anyone – neither
workplaces nor their
families. Just like
your friendly flight
attendant asks you
to put the oxygen
mask on yourself
first, and then on
your child, approach life by attending to your
own needs on the front end. This means taking
care of body, mind and soul, and building a sustainable rhythm of work, home and play. What
can you do this coming week to head toward a
more balanced life?
The time for taking care of YOU
is right now. Body, mind, and spirit
may come into balance with attuning
healing support.
Experience a range of powerful
healing modalities. Singly, or blended,
transform an hour into an oasis of
deep relaxation.

Excel through Coaching
Bill, CEO of a manufacturing firm, is
perceived to be highly successful. What his
staff and clients do not know is the extreme daily
pressure he is under. Bill strives to be a good
leader while increasing sales. Even though he
collaborates quite well with his management
team, Bill feels alone in many of the decisions
he needs to make.
The closer you are to the top, the lonelier
it gets. High-level executives have extreme visibility, yet few if any colleagues they can turn
to for advice. Nonetheless, just like the rest of
us, they are only human and have blind spots.
Coaching can provide the confidential support
and individualized development to allow the best
to excel, making their achievements sustainable.
Receiving coaching is not a sign of weakness,
but the perfect opportunity to build on existing
strengths. If you or the leaders of your organization want to go to the next level and stay there,
coaching may be for you.

YOGA
Adaptive Yoga Project
by Megan Montero
Annie and Mike had lived in their house
for over a year when Annie contacted me for
a Feng Shui consultation because the previous
tenant, Marsha, was harassing them. Marsha
had lived there for seven years until she was
evicted for removing all of the windows. Before
moving in, the landlord put the windows back in,
painted the walls and put in new carpet. Good
as new, right?
From the Feng Shui perspective the unseen
energy left by the previous occupants can have a
drastic effect on the lives of future residents. This
‘predecessor energy’ will have the biggest impact
if the predecessors have been through something
like a divorce, a health crisis, a bankruptcy or if
they were emotionally unstable, as in this case.
Clearing this energy is necessary so the current
occupants can have a clean slate from which to
live their lives.
After Annie and Mike moved in, Marsha
would find them at their work and ask about ‘her’
plants and her dog, which was buried in the yard,
often inconveniencing Annie’s checkout line with
her questions. Marsha would regularly drive by
the house to see if Annie and Mike were away.
Once she dug up two plants from the yard; two
months later she took a tall bush. Annie and
Mike’s stress had been mounting and Marsha’s
plant theft was the last straw.
The first priority in Annie and Mike’s
case was to clear Marsha’s unstable predecessor
energy. I recommended two Feng Shui space
clearing ceremonies to remove the hold Marsha’s
energy had on their home and lives. I also suggested several Feng Shui solutions to correct
the energy flow of the house. We were amazed
to see how the Feng Shui and space clearing affected their lives.
with Annica Rose E-RYT 500,
Certified Yoga Therapist
Right after
the space clearing
Mike felt so good
in the house he began to spend time
at home relaxing
and he started
playing the guitar
again. The next
day, roofers unexpectedly came to
put on a new roof.
Megan Montero
This was a miracle
because the landlord had been promising a new
roof since they moved in. This had been frustrating to my clients because the landlord would not
paint the house until the roof was done, and the
house had big patches of different color paint.
The roofers brought a dumpster for the old roof
and Annie got permission from the landlord to
put in it all the junk that Marsha had left on the
property. The landlord was shockingly helpful
after his unreliable history. A week after our
Feng Shui appointment the painters arrived to
paint the house and the landlord even consulted
Annie on what color to paint the house.
The best change of all was that Marsha
stopped harassing them, she moved on with her
life leaving Annie and Mike to move on with
theirs.

Finding the Master Within
“It is the Hallmark of any deep truth that its negation is also a
deep truth.” Niels Bohr, physicist, in conversation with Einstein
by Paddy Easton Graves
I had a photo of Oscar Pistorius
on my dojo wall as a role model - it
takes enormous courage and discipline
to get to the Olympics and fulfill a life’s
dream, even in the best of conditions;
yet, it takes even greater courage, and
more, to sustain yourself here. A good
teacher can help a student become a
champion; yet, only the Master within
can sustain them here.
Understanding the quantum
nature of self-sabotage may be key
in both learning and teaching. There
is a syndrome here - a human condition that can give insight into why we
undermine ourselves, and subconsciously, or intentionally, resist the full
expression of the gifts we were born
with, and the ones we’ve worked so
hard for. Perhaps this condition can be
best understood and addressed through
the universal law of attraction, rather
than the circular, linear, and endless
story in the mind. The most effective
formula for transcending the resistance
to living one’s full potential may be
as simple as stepping into the Master
within, the God Self, from which all
true power comes. We can’t get rid of
our human side, as life cannot exist
independent of the double helix, but
maybe we can be in harmony with
it…
Why is mediocrity a life-style
for so many? What is the belief that
keeps us from stepping into our own
magnificence? Why are we so reticent
about standing out in the crowd, tak-
ing risks, and having success that may
offend others? Why is it so difficult to
view adversity as an opportunity for
self-mastery? Why does the thought of
having the power of the universe to use
and create with, bring on (sometimes
paralyzing) fear, even when we understand the science and the source?
In physics and in nature, like
attracts like, and when someone boldly
alters the status-quo of a “deep truth”
“There are plenty of
difficult obstacles in your
path – don’t let yourself be
one of them.”
Ralph Marston
they create a temporary state of chaos
that causes most to seek the quickest
path back to what feels safe and familiar, most likely a programmed and
limited perception. People will either
be inspired by your success, use it for
themselves, or they will negate it, and
invite you to leave their stage. This
syndrome may come from an identity
based on the external world, the ‘them’
out there, along with a primary fear of
rejection, abandonment, being wrong,
or appearing foolish. In other words,
you can’t get Here from There.
Get a hold of your Inner Master,
step into it, and follow the passion in
your heart, no matter how outrageous,
or unlikely it may seem, and no matter what voices are telling you to get
real, be mature, stop dreaming and
grow old, like normal people. From
declaration of intent, a new vortex
of power, joy, and success begins to
take form, and becomes an entity of
its own, which we can choose to live
in…or not. The climb to excellence is a
lesson in determination, perseverance,
and patience - to live in sustained excellence is to choose the deep truth of
the high road when both the ego and
the soul are on the same line.
I have seen how quickly one
can bring their dream into reality when
the student and the Inner Master are in
harmony. This one step quantum leap
is a challenging, paradoxical, and lifechanging path, and only the true thrill
and truth seekers will dare to take it!

ased on a little-known, Iran hostage

Tehran, this is one of the most gripping,
well executed and tightly edited movies of 2012. Ben Affleck does a fine
job directing and acting, retelling the
incredible odyssey of this covert CIA
operation through an outstanding cast
and script. This is not a cautionary tale

At Seabright Brewery: Tsunami with driving guitars and a vocal

Jack the Giant Slayer
With Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley
Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Ewan
McGregor
Entertainment: 3.5 Message: 4
surprisingly well-executed interpretation of the beloved fairy tale,
with a smart script and great cast,
this is mythological storytelling at its
finest. Thanks to digital effects, “feefi-fo-fum” comes alive, and the giants
are a bit more real in all their ugliness
than is probably necessary, but making for great villains. Stanley Tucci is
perfect as the ambitious Lord
Roderick, demonstrating once
again that too much power in
the wrong hands is a seriously
bad idea. Ewan McGregor
inspires as Elmont, fearless
palace guard with an attitude.
The results are impressive
and engaging, not at all cartoonish, with a spunky sense
of humor. The main characters define their own terms,
move deftly beyond perceived
limitations, and nobody plays
the victim. This is quite the
epic hero’s journey, delivering
enchanted, adult and kidfriendly family entertainment
(1 hr 54 min).

Lincoln
With Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally
Field, Jackie Earle Haley,
Tommy Lee Jones
Entertainment: 4 Message:

his stellar masterpiece from director Steven Spielberg delivers a
riveting history lesson and Lincoln
Memorial that comes alive with meaning. A remarkable acting achievement
from Daniel Day Lewis (Oscar for
best actor). America’s beloved 16th
president comes boldly forward in this
brilliant biopic, and we forget we are
watching an actor on screen. Elegantly
focused on January of 1865, Lincoln’s
battle to abolish slavery becomes
the lens through which Spielberg
provides fascinating insight into this
president as story teller, uniter and
man of integrity (and a Republican no
less). We witness the early political
process, even more cantankerous than
today, amazingly enough. Tommy Lee
Jones is also a treat as surly, intense
Thaddeus Stevens, and Sally Fields
rules as Lincoln’s volatile First Lady
(2 hrs 30 min).
Quartet
With Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly,
Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay,
Pauline Collins
Entertainment: 4 Message: 4
ounter to the trend of violent, horrific, or just plain stupid films, this
charming, thoughtful and bittersweet
tale speaks to the human condition
– possibly too much “humanity” for
some movie-goers – capturing and
celebrating the advancing years of
accomplished musicians all living
under one roof. As Dustin Hoffman’s
directorial debut (at 75), this British
social dramedy speaks to the artist
in all of us. The story warmly and
tastefully unfolds on this mixed-up
household of musical characters, a
miniature society of everyone doing
the best they can with ageing. The
triumphs of their earlier years – like a
series of climbed mountaintops – give
way to more pedestrian, daily routines,
and inevitable health challenges, but
the creative spark is always present
and easily rekindled. Plenty of humor
with a great ensemble cast, we are
reminded of Bette Davis’ observation
“aging is not for sissies,” and offered an
inspiring view of growing old gracefully
(1 hr 29 min).

STEVEN GRAVES SONG “WHITE BUFFALO” HAS BEEN
NOMINATED FOR A NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD!!
“There is no better indication of the
remarkable variety of
today’s Native American
music than a glance at
the award categories
for the Native American
Music Awards”
—Billboard Magazine
ocal singer-songwriter Steven Graves
from Aptos, California has been nominated
for a National Native
American Music award
for his song “White Buffalo”. The “White Buffalo”
song was co-written with
another long time local,
Ray Newkirk and features
a Lakota Elder, Curtis Fire and his family who
also perform on the song which was released by
Graves in 2012 on his “Matter of Time” CD. The
song was nominated under the “Native Heart”
category, which was created to allow artists who
don’t have Native American heritage to participate
in the ceremony.
The 14th Annual Native American Music
Awards is scheduled for Friday, May 10, 2013, at
the Niagara Events Center, in Niagara, New York.
Nominees for the Awards ceremony were announced on Tuesday, February 12th, 2013.
Public voting has been launched through the
website (www.nativeamericanmusicawards.
com). The event features more than 35 diverse
awards categories.
Created in 1998, the Native American Music
Awards is the world’s leading membershipbased association consisting of music industry
professionals directly involved in the recording

Native American music.
The growing success of
the Awards Show now
features over one hundred and Àfty nominees
annually, with at least
one third of those nominees being new artists.
For the past fourteen
years, the Awards has
set industry standards
for professional Native
American musicians
who are gaining greater
acceptance and exposure from both national
and international audiences.
The “White Buffalo” song celebrates the
Lakota Nation’s spiritual
tradition of White Buffalo Woman who, as legend
has it, appeared to Sitting Bull and brought the
native people the sacred pipe, access to the
buffalo as a sacred animal, and the holistic world
view that deÀnes Native American spiritual beliefs.
Recording on the White Buffalo song with Steven
are many prominent local musicians including
Dayan Kai, who also produced the record, Tammi
Brown, and Bill Walker. Steven was also inspired
to create the website: www.whitebuffaloproject.com where his music can be downloaded
with 100% of the proceeds going to help Native
American communities.
PLEASE VOTE FOR STEVEN GRAVES
AND THE WHITE BUFFALO AT: www.nativeamericanmusicawards.com.
Steven will be performing with his band
on March 8th at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in
Santa Cruz. For more information go to: www.

The Life of Pi
T H E TA H E A L I N G :
Lynda Chaikin
“My doctor referred me to Lynda
Chaikin and her ThetaHealing for severe post traumatic stress symptoms related to life long unresolved traumas that
had started affecting my physical health. Since
my early 20’s, I had tried numerous types of
therapy but found that they all made things worse
by triggering buried memories that I then couldn’t
turn off. By the time I arrived at Lynda’s ofÀce, I
had been suffering for 12 years. I actually thought
that my accumulated traumas were beyond
help, but I was wrong. After the Àrst session of
ThetaHealing I began to feel some relief. Lynda
was extremely patient and caring as we cleared
the many levels of traumas that I had carried for
so long. I am so very grateful that words alone
cannot express my gratitude.
At my doctor’s ofÀce a year later for my physical, I asked her what she would suggest for my
low thyroid. Her answer, “ThetaHealing”!
I am thrilled to now be taking the basic ThetaHealing CertiÀcation Class to further the healing
for myself and for my family.”

Learning this beautiful healing art from Michele was a pure blessing in itself. I knew when I

the right direction. All the barriers around my heart
melted and reached out to be Àlled with love and
bliss. She is a magical mapmaker. She also helped
me clear the path so
that my Soulmate could
arrive in perfect timing.
I was blessed to have
her presence every

TOYOTA of SANTA CRUZ
It was my great pleasure to purchase my
very Àrst brand new car at Toyota of Santa Cruz
in August of 2007. My car buying experience was
wonderful - no pressure, just information on options, a great price on the car, and they gave me
a fair price for my trade-in vehicle. I have enjoyed
excellent customer service ever since. All the
regularly scheduled maintenance has been done
at this dealership, and they have been consistently
reasonably priced, prompt, reliable and courteous.
I appreciate their customer shuttle, free car wash
after service, and their quiet, comfortable lounge
area. The Prius has needed no repairs the entire
time. I highly recommend Toyota of Santa Cruz!

Lively Letters
From a Local Resident,
Although I appreciate the alternative perspective
and updates from your paper, I differ with you on the
notion that things are all rosy and full of love.
Quite the contrary in my opinion. You can believe
what you want, but this nation and this world are
heading straight into hell. America is being turned
into a fascist nazi police state.
This is NOT a “golden age” we are entering. We
are entering JUDGEMENT from a supreme Go
who is set on punishing those who have done evil
to man and the biosphere. The evil ones have yet
to do their worst works.The right wing extremists
have infiltrated Santa Cruz with disinformation and
cooptation campaigns—thrive movement meetup is a
case in point. (they are anti-agenda 21 and side with
the disinformation skeptics who debunk the threat of
global warming).
We have the right wing Texan infestation known
as ‘whole foods’ selling us GMO ‘organic’ food, and
all so-called mafia run “natural foods” stores in town
selling meat to naive consumers.
I’m sorry, but natural foods stores do NOT
sell meat. All free information outlets in town have
either been shut down or are strictly controlled and
monitored by this local mafia controlled town. i’ve
had numerous fliers at the Santa Cruz Public Library
stolen over the years, for example. Santa Cruz, once
a light unto the nation has devolved into a homeless
persecuting, cop infested, police state controlled
and mafia run enterprise complete with idiot/moron
yuppies driving around in rich, gas guzzling trucks,
hummers, mercedes, lexus and suv’s.
Local Resident, Santa Cruz
To Connection Magazine
Your January 2012 issue talking about ‘the
golden age’ makes me laugh. Why don’t you address
important issues; addresses ‘causes’—things of
meaning?
Jack James, La Selva Beach
WE RESPONDED TO EACH OF THE
‘LIVELY LETTERS’ ABOVE WITH THE
FOLLOWING LETTER.
P&T
Hello, THANK YOU very much for your letter and
feedback here. We agree with you on most accounts
in your email.
However, I am not sure if you have read
our magazine much. You can, of course, read
other issues via our website at: http://www.
connectionmagazineonline.com/
Even this issue, did you read the full-page we did
on the History of Gun Control? How about the last
page, Our Back COVER that is there now on Smart
Meters, Wi-Fi, etc,? Have you read that in every issue
of our magazine we have featured Smart Meter and
Wi-Fi info, etc.?
How about the fact that for the last 16 years, we
are the ONLY magazine that almost every month has
presented info to our Readership about GMOs? In
fact, Connection Magazine has been credited by the
lead person (Pamm Larry herself) that began the
‘Right to Know; Label GMO Campaign’ (Prop 37) for
being the periodical that every month has addressed
GMOs to the point that she said, I must learn more
and when she did, she began that campaign which
has now gotten the entire USA alerted to GMOS,
etc., etc.
A while back we featured one of our many GMO
issues where even the COVER of our magazine put
a graphic of Whole Foods to obviously show that they
are selling GMO foods. It was blatant!!
Did you see the issue of ours from the October
2012 Issue where the entire Cover is a chart of who
is for and who is against GMOs! A very valuable chart
that one can take shopping with them, hang on their
refrigerators, etc., etc.?? We really spelled out who
is on the MONSANTO side and what businesses are
opposed to GMOs and up for labeling them and not
having them at all!! That issue also included a very
blatant article with scientific research showing photos
of what GMOs do to rats, and most presumably to
‘we the people’ as well. Many issues with detailed info
regarding pesticides as well as what is truly 100%
Certified Organic food and why it is so important,
etc.
We have featured articles on the dangerous,

location, elegantly furnished large group room, new carpet/paint,
valet parking, view of oaks.
plastic BPA (which has hormones in it like Estrogen
[causing many men’s breast to grow!!]) and it lines
all canned foods on store receipts, in most plastics
(unless they are labeled BPA-FREE), etc., as well as
info on HEXANE (the chemical-laden) fluids used on
all machinery that puts drinks into their containers,
bottles and even is found in canned foods, as well),
Methyl Bromide (current issue has Methyl Bromide
in it), etc. Have you read those Articles?
Have you been reading this magazine to see the
numerous Articles that we have presented regarding
CHEMTRAILS??? And, in fact, the ONLY magazine
that has presented this info including over 10 years
ago our first Articles on —even photographing
ChemTrails outside of our office to show them and
how one can distinguish which are ChemTrails and
which are regular ConTrails? And, what ChemTrails
really are. We featured info on the ChemTrail
Conference in LA, Calif just recently.
We have featured MANY articles on vaccinations
and the dangerous ramifications or even untruthful
dogma perpetrated about their value. Have you seen
those articles?
How about real, wild Salmon vs. Farmed Salmon
(horrific!)? We have one Article in this very issue about
GMO Salmon, though we have presented many.
How about our articles on the lies told about and
dangers of Aspartame? And, Canola Oil?
How about our issues where we have presented
info on the Brown-Apple Moth and the poisonous
spraying in SC and Monterey Counties?
How about that our magazine was an integral
part of stopping Fluoride in Watsonville and the City
of Santa Cruz? We put an entire booklet in the center
of our magazine regarding the rat poison fluoride
with lots of scientific info in it regarding fluoride, fact,
statistics, etc., etc.? And, that we went to all of the
City Council Meetings and spoke up along with the
‘Citizens for Safe Drinking Water’? And, that almost
every issue we feature info/Articles on Fluoride??
All of this at our own expense and our hours we
put forth on Connection Magazine (which are 12+
hours five days a week and truly, often 6 days a week)
to the point of my hands now becoming so filled with
inflammation that they are a challenge to use.).
We are the one magazine that featured Articles
on meat and how toxic it is and the fact that glue is
used in a lot of it and coloring? Deplorable for sure!
We have presented info on Climate Change as
well. And, there are a few perspectives on this—
though we and our Readers know that changes are
happening and they must be addressed. We have
featured info on alternative sources for powering cars;
vehicles, etc. Have you read that info?
We are aligned with you! The people in the
THRIVE MEETUP group know about the negative
elements for sure, and they are also working on the
positive ways to bring about change? The THRIVE
Movement (the THRIVE movie itself) tells about a lot
of this info as well.
About AGENDA 21, we used to be part of that
group (we worked on it with sincerity). We would
like that to be something good for us all, however,
we have done the due diligence and, unfortunately,
now know that it is not what meets the eye. We also
realize that there are members of that group that are
TRULY wonderful people that have put forth a lot of
effort to support it as they still believe it is for the good
of all. These are good folks, like you. Do the research
on this, please.
Again, thank YOU very much for reading
Connection Magazine (to some degree) and, most
of all, for taking the time to write to us! We value
your email and input most definitely! And, we have
always encouraged participation—which you have
done here with your letter.
Again, thank you. Please write back. And,
we encourage you to look at our Archived
magazines, available on our website at: http://www.
connectionmagazineonline.com/
We also encourage you to share your ideas
about what other things, areas, etc. would be good
ones to possibly include in Connection Magazine in
future issues.
I can not, at this time, take the time to more
fully explain our Center THEME from this issue. In
a future email I could, if you ask me to do so. It is
another perspective and one of hope that has ‘real
validity’, too.
One of our sincere quotes is: “Stay awake,
participate!” —which you have done. Thanks again!
Sincerely, Pattie & Thom, Publishers

JAPANESE GREEN TEA
AND SKIN REJUVENATION
by Donna Williams-Smith
M
▲
any are aware of the
benefits of Japanese green
tea.
Japanese green tea differs from
Chinese green tea in that it is unfermented. With daily use, the documented health benefits of Japanese
organic green tea abound. It is nature’s
strongest antioxidant, one hundred
times more so than vitamin C, and
twenty-five times more than vitamin
E. It is a powerful immune booster
and contains bioflavonoids—a natural
antibiotic effect.
Green tea safely chelates heavy
metals, free radicals and toxins, and
with regular oral and topical use, has
many anti-aging properties. It is a
rich source of minerals: zinc, calcium,
magnesium, potassium, selenium,
chromium, iron, phosphorus and more.
Page 27 WAY OF LIFE
It improves and
promotes the
healing of skin
afflictions, acne
and UVB damage, soothes sunburn, and has a
natural ability to
prevent scar formation. It also prevents and improves
allergic skin conditions and reactions
to products.
A research project being conducted by Dr. Stephen Hsu, a cell biologist,
on the cell rejuvenating properties of
green tea has helped establish the role
of green tea polyphenols in cancer prevention. Regarding Dr. Hsu’s scientific
findings of EGCg (epigallocatechin
gallate), the most abundant green
tea polyphenol: “...when exposed to
EGCg, the old cells are stimulated and
start dividing again” states Dr. Hsu,
“they make DNA and produce more
energy. They are reactivated. If we
can energize dying skin cells, we can
improve the skin condition in a variety
of ways.” The article notes the potential of EGCg for skin conditions such
as ulcers, psoriasis, rosacea, wrinkles,
burns, wounds and UV damage.
With this partial list of attributes,
one can imagine the enthusiasm generated when using my Japanese Green
Tea Masque formula. The second
highest ranked Tea Master in Japan
produces its organic ingredients. This
treatment also includes “the newest
and oldest” natural anti-aging, beauty
treatment, prized for centuries in
Japan – pure cold-pressed “camellia
japonica seed oil”. Safe for all skin
types, it promotes healing and cellular
repair. This oil supplies rich botanical

NATURCILLIN at Staff of Life
Health Food Store
Thank you Staff of Life for having the leading products to help us
all naturally, in the most healthful
manner. One of my family’s favorite
products is your Naturcillin which we
learned about through Connection
Magazine (thanks Connection, too, for
always featuring the best info, content,
products & services for we readers!!).
Each of the members of my family got
quite ill with the crummy flu. I saw the
Naturcillin Ad in the magazine, looked
it up online and found out that it is such
an Immune System builder. We each
took it and got better faster than any
of us had experienced before. It really
did the job. Now, we have purchased
more to always have on our bathroom
shelf, ready to go if anyone of us is not
well. It worked so well and so fast that
my entire family insists on thanking you
all here by signing their names to this

ingredients, contains natural enzymes,
essential vitamins, minerals, catechins
and mono-unsaturated fats, which are
depleted with time and are needed for
the constant rejuvenation and repair of
the skin’s dermal layers.
The method of extraction involves hand picking the fruit/seeds.
They are washed, sun/air dried and
cold pressed between two wooden
boards to gently release the oil and
then, for facial use, strained six times
through layers of silk. This results in
the highest, premium quality, facial oil
that easily penetrates and immediately
begins nourishing and renewing.
This traditional method of har-
vesting and processing is reassuring and applauded in contrast with
other methods of extraction using oven
roasted seeds, involving several processes and the use of metal machines,
where the seed are ground to extract
their oil, then strained. The traditional
method has been used for centuries for
its restorative and rejuvenating effects
on the skin. Modern research explains
its desirability.

here is a blessing in coming up
against one’s
mortality; life becomes
more precious. Each
instant of experience
is to be cherished, even
those we would rather
not have.
The awareness dawns, “I am not
my body. I am consciousness expressing
through the vehicle of
myself in this lifewalk. I
am gifted materiality to
express eternality. I am
A
LIVING MEDITATION
a divine spark having a human experience, and I am grateful to be alive!”
The gift is being human, accepting oneself frailties and all, while knowing the deep truth of one’s existence as
the source of life, essential Energy, the
unified field of unconditional love we
love to call God.
Emotions are energy in motion.
All life is in motion, miniscule molecules
vibrating in an ocean of space. It is a
miracle really to have a body in which
to experience life, even when the body
has physical challenge.
As I face another surgery on the
road to recovery, I want to embrace the
experience, gain what I can from it.
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 22): March
may surprise you with your sensitivity
toward others. You have the capacity
to be very tuned in. Intimacy in your
life increases. It can be a wonderful
time to deeply enjoy another. In challenging relationships, you may feel
overwhelmed, so get support to move
through many feelings. After March 11,
situations change and travel plans are
supported.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your
sensitivity to others increases this
month. Love and partnership can be
enjoyable. A new love is idealized and
sweetness with others is highlighted.
You pick up much information through
others’ feelings. You are a great assist now with your clarity and ability
to communicate clearly what others’
experience. This is a creative time for
you, especially with quiet time.
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22): As we
enter March, you may feel yourself
floating in a sea of possibilities with
the need to focus your energies. It can
be a fruitful artistic time as long as you
don’t resist settling in. Be flexible as
unexpected situations come from others. Your ideals are strong and you feel
emotional. After the 11th, you become
motivated and tuned in to action. Passionate energy comes your way from
others.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21): A new
responsibility and focus has come into
your life. A structure or discipline will
be helpful to ground and work with
the different feelings you are having.
You may feel spacey, overwhelmed,
or overcome at times with bliss. Quiet
reflective time will support movement
from one way of being to another. After
the 11th, you are motivated to accomplish your goals.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 20):
In March, you continue your need to
balance work and social interactions
with quiet and reflective time within
home and family. Presently, gathering
with family and connecting emotionally,
is very important. New relationships
or collaborative projects are to your
advantage. After March 11th, this gains
momentum, continuing through the
equinox. Your actions move smoothly,
bringing excitement.
Capricorn (Dec 21- Jan 19): As
we move into March, your heart opens
to depth of feeling and intuitive perceptions. You are more sensitive to the
people around you. Keep grounded day
to day as you may feel overwhelmed.
Your anchor is contact with friends
and community as something new is
focalizing itself through your hard work.

energy, charged with ability to
move forward and take action,
as the Sun, Mars, and Venus
join Uranus in Aries, assisted by
patient groundedness and deep
breathing, a stilling of the mind to
harness a larger picture of the future.
Through the full moon on the
27th, be thoughtful of your actions, reactions, and rash responses. Tremendous forces are in play stressing our
systems. Between the 20th and the 29th,
breathe deeply, access clear intentions
that support life sustaining growth!
Twelve opportunities for March: For
Sun and Rising Signs
Aries (Mar 20-Apr 19): You may
be experiencing waves of emotion, releasing emotional build up, continuing
until the 11th. Remember to breathe.
There is the potential for strengthening
your psyche at deep levels, especially
in relation to others. On the 12th, be
ready for a surge of energy, as Mars
moves into Aries. Time to get things
done, create new beginnings, imagine
possibilities. You are in a period of
great change. Be flexible in outlook
and interaction.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): As
we move into March, artistic pursuits
are strengthened. Your soul feels the
potential for great love and compassion. Connections are being made
with others and the community. You
feel more sensitive at the same time,
especially so at the New Moon on the
11th. After the 11th, attend to your desire
to change, clear things out, and map
out the actions you will take. Writing
helps your wisdom to be present.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20): March
brings new demands for clarity in life
goals, along with attracting others
into your life work. With this Mercury
retrograde phase through the 17th, your
mind may become overloaded, or long
to soar in more imaginative, less linear
realms. Schedule time for reverie or
gardening. You are balancing expansion and new possibilities with clearing
and organizing your daily life. Group interactions increase after the 11th, along
with new people entering your life.
Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 21): What
an excellent time to review your beliefs
that set the stage for your life. Center
on your expression in accordance with
your deepest beliefs. After the 11th, take
an action to support a new direction or
a bold step toward what you want to
accomplish. The Equinox highlights a
relationship from the past. Your sensitive, deep feeling nature now supports
creative and spiritual pursuits.
he Cosmos has reached
down to us in February,
with meteor and Asteroid. March 5-13 brings Comet
Panstarrs, with the possibility of
a brilliant show. In the southern
skies at this time, stretching overhead
is the striking Orion constellation, arching upward to the Pleiades, with bright
Jupiter. Orion’s belt points to the sparkling star, Sirius, toward the southern
horizon. The Cosmos now seeks to
awaken us to our starry originals and
the miracle of life that we are. As we
enter this new age, Ganymede, the
Aquarian constellation, pours the out
the life giving elixir, a downpour of light.
Interestingly, in that area of the sky
exists Cygnus, the Swan, or Northern
Cross, with Cygnus X3 pulsating out
gamma rays and flashes of light that
some have speculated to have affected
alterations in the human DNA and our
cognitive evolution.
As we enter March, Neptune,
Venus, Chiron, Mercury, Mars and the
Sun align in Pisces. We are awash
with deep feelings and the underbelly
of society’s hidden unconscious sways
us all, with themes of old wounds,
outdated ways to live, and the great
potential for healing and renewal. Saturn in Scorpio forces us deeper into our
psyches and the interrelationships of
self and other, challenging us to attune
to finer vibrations of real intimacy with
each other and life. It is a fine edge we
walk, between drowning in the old ways
versus openings to grander and more
creative views of the vast adventure
here on planet Earth, acknowledging our tremendous unity.
Take good care of yourself at the new moon in Pisces,
on the 11th, which accentuates
the boundarilessness of your
mind and emotions to the global
suffering, pushing to be released at this time. Let yourself
move with the Piscean energy
in spiritual pursuits, meditation,
creativity, and service. Collaborate with others to envision
new beginnings and actions to
benefit change.
Mercury goes direct on
the 17th, freeing our thoughts
and plans from inner contemplations. Plans can be strengthened and implemented now.
The Spring Equinox
takes place on March
20 as the Sun moves
into fiery Aries. We will

• This ancient wisdom can help you to transform and attune

MARCH 2013
We learn experientially, so being fully
present and available in the experience
reaps the most benefit.
We all have wonderful, spiritual
gifts. We have creative intelligence and
the ability to make choices, therefore
we can forge a life, making our way as
we will it. Acceptance of who we are is
key to being fulfilled, to loving oneself
and others.
And Who We Are is a divine
spark having a human experience.
We have the opportunity in each experience to love one another and grow
peace in this world.

DPA
IN
C ALIFORNIA
F
or more than 15 years in California, the Drug Policy Alliance
has sponsored and supported
some of the nation’s most progressive
drug policy reforms. DPA sponsored
landmark ballot initiatives that legalized
medical marijuana (Prop. 215 in 1996),
created the largest treatment-insteadof-incarceration program in the country
(Prop. 36 in 2000), and sought to
reduce criminal penalties for drug use
while dramatically expanding access
to drug treatment (Prop. 5 in 2008).
DPA was also a primary supporter
of Prop. 19 in 2010, which sought to
legally regulate marijuana for adult
use and helped mainstream the issue
nationwide. And in 2012, we worked
closely with allies in California to pass
a historic ballot initiative to reform the
state’s “three strikes” law.
In 2012, DPA’s California office,
with critical support from allies, suc-
ceeded in getting 911 Good Samaritan
legislation signed and enacted into law.
This law provides limited immunity to
individuals who seek medical attention
to save the life of someone experiencing an overdose. In 2013, we will
continue our work to reduce overdose
deaths by seeking expanded access
to naloxone, a generic, non-narcotic
antidote to opiate overdose.
DPA has worked tirelessly to
increase sterile syringe access in
California to prevent HIV and hepatitis
C transmission. In 2011, we won key
victories that expanded syringe access
to every county in the state. We are
preparing now to defend and expand
those victories in 2014 when the state’s
law allowing for non-prescription sales
of syringes will have to be renewed.
DPA is committed to protecting
patient access to medical marijuana in
California by playing an active role in
a number of state and local coalitions
and by voicing priorities to Sacramento
and Washington, D.C. In light of the
decisive electoral victories in Colorado
and Washington in favor of legally
regulating marijuana for adults, DPA
is excited about bringing this policy
change to California in 2016. It is time
to end decades of failed marijuana
prohibition and replace it with sensible regulations for adult marijuana
consumption, sales and cultivation.
DPA and our allies are in the planning
stages for a legalization voter initiative
for the 2016 election.
With the 2012 “three strikes”
reform’s two-to-one victory at the ballot box – as well as numerous polls
demonstrating that more than 70 percent of Californians support reducing
penalties for all drug possession and
that more than 85 percent believe nonviolent drug offenders should not be
crowded into our bursting prisons and
jails – DPA believes now is the time for
real sentencing reform in California. In
2013, we will build on our 2012 legislative efforts to reduce the criminal penalty for drug possession in California
from a felony to a misdemeanor. This
reform would move our drug policies
toward a health-centered approach,
cut wasteful drug war spending, and
reduce the life-long barriers that follow
a drug conviction. Likewise, DPA will
pursue other sentencing reforms to
eliminate outrageous racial disparities
that are endemic in drug sentencing
for people of color.
