Engineered Drought Catastrophe,
Target California
Most of the “the golden state” is now parched, baked and dried far beyond
any historical precedent. Reservoirs are nearly empty, streams are drying
up, and forests are dying by the day. Catastrophic fires will also continue
to decimate California due to the engineered drought.

Much of the state went through
all of 2013 with no significant rain.
Why? What will it take to wake people
up to the “weather warfare” being
waged on them? Geoengineering
reduces overall global rainfall totals
(though it can also trigger regions
of torrential flooding). Intentionally
caused drought is weather warfare,
period. There is a great deal of disinformation out there already and
its getting worse by the day.
Even some of the biggest
“alternative news sites” are
helping to “tow the line” for
the global elite by putting
out articles on drought and
“global cooling” which make
no mention of the climate
engineering at all. Yet, on the
other hand, these same “news
sites” claim to be aware of climate engineering and they say
they are against it. Which is
it? How can they be aware of
the geoengineering programs
and yet put out climate article
after climate article without
so much as mentioning the
elephant in the room that is
climate engineering? The articles from
these “alternative media sites are even
claiming all the chaotic weather is just
“normal cycles”. This is exactly what
corporate media does, so who’s side
are these alternative media sites on?
How is it possible that any weather in a
completely engineered climate system
is “normal”?
Is This The End Of The
Road?
Many are finally beginning to
wake up to the fact that the some-
thing is very wrong with the weather.
Many are finally realizing something
profound is happening in our skies.
Some are now finally making the decision to get involved with the fight to
raise awareness of the lethal climate
engineering programs, but are we
already too late?
Have the geoengineers already
pushed Earth’s natural systems past the
point of no return? Based on all avail-
No Natural Weather
It is imperative that we all work
together toward the goal of making the
population as a whole understand that
virtually all their “weather” is being
completely manipulated. That there
is NO NATURAL WEATHER at this
point. That we are all the victims of
“weather warfare” and many of us will
soon be climate refugees if we are not
able to bring the climate engineering

looks like it has a virtual “bullseye”
of below normal rainfall predicted
(scheduled). One can
draw their own conclusions from this map,
does this pattern really
look natural?
The NOAA map
above is about as unnatural as it gets. Welcome to global geoengineering.
The true severity of the drought in
the west is not accurately reflected in the
“drought monitor” map
above. The actual conditions on the ground
are much much worse
as California has been
descending into ever
worsening drought for
7 years now. This season to date there has
been no significant rain
at all.
HAARP iono-
sphere heating facility in Alaska.
There are numerous ionosphere heating installations around the globe that
are used to manipulate the jet stream
into historically unprecedented patterns. The manipulated jet stream is
one of several primary factors relating to the climate chaos now being
inflicted on planet Earth.
With the combination of constant aerosol spraying and ionosphere
heater utilization (HAARP) the climate engineers have effectively cut
off the flow of moisture to the state
of California. Why? There are likely
a number of probable reasons. First,
California is possibly a climate “sacrifice zone”. This means that California
is collateral damage for the constant
parade of engineered snow storms being whipped up further east in the US.
The rain blocking high pressure ridge
that the climate engineers have locked
in place over the western US and the
eastern Pacific pushes the jet stream
straight north, carrying the moisture
with it before rain can come anywhere
near California. This moisture then
desiccants. These are materials that
adhere to all available moisture in
the atmosphere creating very low
humidity on the ground under many
conditions which further dries out the
already parched state. Now lets add the
constant record high temperatures that
often go along with consistent high
pressure. All things considered, its a
recipe for creating a dust bowl out of
a once beautiful state. Its a method for
bringing the population of this state to
will persist and worsen as the climate
engineers literally tear Earth’s natural
life support systems apart. The climate
engineers can and are radically cooling
huge areas, but at the cost of a greatly
worsened overall warming and a completely decimated climate system.
What Can We Do?
Everyone can and must help
with this all important battle. All must
get up off the bench and assist in the
critical effort to raise awareness. Get
organized with others in your community. Get educated (this means
examining real data, not headlines),
get credible information to hand out,
hold viewings of documentary films
like “Look Up” from film maker
George Barnes, do whatever it takes
to sound the alarm. If we can simply
bring the climate engineering crimes
to the light of day, and reach critical
mass of awareness, the dominos that
keep these programs in operation will
start to fall.
Dane Wigington – Bio
travels as far as Alaska and the Arctic.
The jet is then turned back south as it
wraps clockwise around the HAARP/
ionosphere heater created dome of
high pressure. Then, it is pumped all
the way down to the southern US carrying heavily sprayed and chemically
ice nucleated moisture with it which
enhances the artificial cool down of
the eastern US.
Another part of the puzzle is
likely this, a population that has no
water and can not grow
any food does not tend
to be in a position to
effectively protest the
crimes of it’s government. California has
historically grown so much food for
the nation that the catastrophic drought
has very far reaching ramifications.
Control the food supply and you
control the population. There is also
the growing effort by the government
to take control of water rights in California and other regions in the west.
The climate engineers literally have
California by the throat and it does
not appear they are going to let go
anytime soon. The weather makers can
drought California into a desert from
top to bottom, we are well on our way
to this already. Forests that were green
and lush only ten years ago are now
wilting, withering, and in many places
have already died. In addition to the
almost total lack of rain in California
caused by the climate manipulation,
the jet sprayed aerosols utilized in
the geoengineering programs are
their knees.
Where Are The Geoengineers
Concentrating Their Efforts, And How
Cool Are They Making The Planet
Overall?
The NASA temperature analysis map above should make clear
where the climate engineers are most
focused in their efforts to create a
“cool down”. This map illustrates
recent temperature trends as compared
to the 30 year average. The NASA
map clearly shows the only “cooler”
places on the planet compared to
the long term average. These areas
of below normal temperatures are a
direct result of massive geoengineering efforts such as those described
above. If the temperature variations
on this map seem unnatural, they are.
Though the US media is trying frantically to convince its population (with
considerable success) that the world is
in a deep freeze, this is patently false
from a global perspective. The radical
swings in temperatures and conditions
Dane Wigington has an extensive
background in solar energy. He is a
former employee of Bechtel Power
Corp. and was a licensed contractor
in California and Arizona.
His personal residence was feature in
a cover article on the world’s largest
renewable energy magazine, Home
Power. He owns a 1,600-acre “wildlife preserve” next to Lake Shasta in
northern California.
He focused his efforts and energy on
the geoengineering issue when he
began to lose very significant amounts
of solar uptake due to what
ever-increasing “solar obscuration” caused from the
aircraft spraying as he also
noted significant decline in
forest health and began testing and
research into the geoengineering issue
about a decade ago.
He is the lead researcher for www.
geoengineeringwatch.org and has
investigated all levels of geo engineering from chemtrails to HAARP.
He assisted Michael Murphy with his
production of “What in the World are

an extensive number of interviews to
explain the environmental dangers we
face on a global level.
He lives in Mt. Shasta, California.

by Devin J. Wehrman
and Boyd L. Benson
HERE ARE MANY sources of
EMF/RF radiation in most people’s
homes. Even if you don’t have a
Smart Meter in you homes’ immediate area,
you may be experiencing symptoms related
to this type of radiation. We would like to
offer these EMF/RF radiation safety tips:
� Keep your sleeping areas free of exterior
power meters, cordless phones, bases
and cellphones (if you have these devices on, keep them at least 10 feet from
your bed.)
� Avoid wireless devices in your home, hard
lined devices are much safer.
� Bluetooth devices are OK but using the
speaker phone option on your cell
phone, placing your phone a few feet
away is better.
� If you have wireless devices, turn them off
when you’re not using them (ei. Wireless
router, cell phones etc.)
� Avoid standing within 15 feet of your
hazardous materials, and issues concerning both the EPA and OSHA compliance.
Devin is currently enrolled in a Bachelor
of Science Degree in computer engineering sciences. Through many years of selfstudy, they both have an extensive understanding of EMF/RF non-ionizing/ionizing radiation and many other health and
environmental issues. Their company is
located in Soquel. They are now equipped
to assess your residential and commercial
shielding needs and to implement cutting
edge strategies for non-ionizing radiation
mitigation. Some of the products they
implement have the added benefit of being
powerfully efficient sound barriers as
well. Their mission statement is to protect
family, friends and community from EMF/
RF radiation. Please see their Ads in this
issue of The Connection Magazine for
more details or call them at (831) 2340716 or (831) 247-6017 or Email to [email protected] They are also
happy to provide you with their list of
related information on this important
health and safety issue.
We recommend keeping your sleeping area
as dark as possible to raise your melatonin levels
and decrease your cortisol levels.
microwave oven if you have to use one
and wait about 10 seconds before
approaching the oven.
� We recommend keeping your sleeping
area as dark as possible to raise your
melatonin levels and decrease your cortisol levels.
� We also recommend walking barefoot as
much as possible to ground yourself and
resetting your body’s resonance to the
earth’s natural magnetic field.
� Use of non-electrical devices when possible will help to minimize exposure. For
example, use a hand razor vs. an electric
one and use hand toweling vs. using a
hairdryer.
Some old wives tales that may have
some new merit:
� Do not sit too close to T.V.’s and monitors.
� Do not stand in front of the refrigerator
with the door open (the A/C motor in
the refrigerator gives off a power electromagnetic field.).
� Do not use electric blankets or heating
pads (Hot water bottles or bean filled
warmers are much better).
Devin J. Werhman and Boyd L. Benson
are the owners of Werhman-Benson EMF/RF
Shielding and are long time residents of
Santa Cruz County. They

Shielding can do something about it.
• With EMF/RF detection equipment we can offer solutions
for your home or business.
• We can provide accurate assessments of your personal
environment by detecting harmful EMF/RF non-ionizing
radiation.
• After consulting with you, we can implement safe and cost
effective strategies to mitigate this radiation.
We use trained and Licensed Contractors, when required. Using a
simple Three-Step Process, we first assess radiation levels in your environment with highly sensitive equipment and document the results.
Secondly we work with you to find the best plan to fit your needs and
implementation of the latest shielding technologies. Lastly, we return
to evaluate and document results of our work.
We will be happy to provide you sources about the hazards of EMF/
RF radiation. We urge you to check out these You Tube videos:

ERRY DAY, A media expert and producer
from Burbank California, whose video “Spy
Meters”
(http://emfsafetynetwork.
org/?p=5008) skyrocketed to 1.4 million views has
just released a new video called, “Replacing A
Smart Meter With A Safe Analog Meter”. In this
video Jerry details with clarity and humor how to
take back your power, by replacing the wireless
meter with the analog meter.
He says, “Will the power company like you
replacing their meter? Well, if the only way they can
be happy is to try to give you a meter that pollutes
your home with carcinogenic electro-toxins and
violates federal wiretapping laws, I guess they
won’t be happy because a lot of people are not
going to sit still for that.” He directs people to www.
Freedomtaker.com where you can buy a kit that
includes the analog meter, and a legal letter to send
to the utility.
“Today, it may seem radical to refuse or reject
a Smart Meter on your home. Soon, most of us
will have difficulty understanding how a program
as unwise and offensive as the Smart Meter program could have been contemplated in the first
place,” Jerry Day, Burbank CA.

The Dangers of the Technological
Revolution
And yet we may wonder: How is the
technological revolution going to fit into this
new world? Yes, it’s this very revolution that has
helped bring about the Shift in the first place—
both the internet and cell phones have brought
communities of like-minded people together in
ways like never before.
However, this revolution has also brought
with it a danger that is affecting the health of in-
Fortunately, there’s an answer. We don’t
have to give up our technology as we move
through this exciting Shift. We can use it all—and
learn to thrive on every level in our lives. We just
need to use EMF protection. It really is an easy
fix—many people just don’t know about it yet.
Shanti Rivers has done extensive research on the
effects of environmental influences on health,
especially focusing on electromagnetic pollution.
She’s found that using EMF protection products
(www.earthcalm.com/products/) is extremely
effective.

Appelbaum: ‘Scary’ NSA will spy
on you – every which way they can
Security researcher Jacob Appelbaum
revealed what he calls “wrist-slitting depressing”
details about the National Security Agency’s spy
programs at a computer conference in Germany
on Monday where he presented previously unpublished NSA files.
Appelbaum is among the small group of
experts, activists and journalists who have seen
classified United States intelligence documents
taken earlier this year by former contractor Edward Snowden, and previously he represented
transparency group WikiLeaks at an American
hacker conference in 2010. Those conditions
alone should suffice in proving to most anybody
that Appelbaum has been around more than his
fair share of sensitive information, and during his
presentation at the thirtieth annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg on Monday he
spilled his guts about some of the shadiest spy
tactics seen yet through leaked documents.
Presenting in-tandem with the publishing
of an article in Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine,
Appelbaum explained to the audience of his
hour-long “To Protect and Infect” address early
Monday that the NSA has secretly sabotaged US
businesses by covertly — and perhaps sometimes
with the cooperation of the tech industry — coming up with ways to exploit vulnerabilities in the
products sold by major American companies,
including Dell and Apple, among others.
That was only the main theme of many
covered throughout the presentation, during
which Appelbaum repeatedly revealed previously
unpublished top-secret NSA documents detailing the tactics and techniques used by the NSA
to intercept the communications of seemingly
anyone on Earth.
“Basically the NSA, they want to be able
to spy on you. And if they have ten different
options for spying on you that you know about,
they have 13 ways of doing it and they do all 13.
So that’s a pretty scary thing,” he said.
While nearly seven months’ worth of
stories made possible by leaked files pilfered by
Snowden have helped explain the extent of the
spy agency’s surveillance operations, Appelbaum
used his allotted time to help shine light on
exactly how the NSA compromises computers
and cell phones to infect the devices of not just
targeted users, but the entire infrastructure that
those systems run on.
“Basically their goal is to have total surveillance of everything that they are interested
in,” he said. “There really is no boundary to
what they want to do. There is only sometimes
a boundary of what they are funded to be able to
do, and the amount of things they are able to do
at scale they seem to just do those things without
thinking too much without it.”
“They would be able to break into this
phone, almost certainly, and turn on the microphone,” Appelbaum said at one point as he reinserted the battery into his mobile device. “All
without a court, and that to me is really scary.”
Indeed, classified files shown later during his
presentation revealed a device that for $175,800
allows the NSA or another license client to construct a fake cell tower than can allow officials
to eavesdrop on texts and talks alike.
“They replace the infrastructure they connect to. It’s like replacing the road that we would
walk on and adding tons of spy gear,” he said.
“And they do that too!”
Writer Glenn Greenwald — who has also
worked closely with the Snowden files as well —
had similar words earlier this month when he told
the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil
Liberties and Home Affairs that he believed the
ultimate goal of the NSA is to“eliminate individual privacy worldwide.”
To do as much, Appelbaum added, the
intelligence agency has deployed an intricate
system of tools and tactics which could eavesdrop not just by hacking into computers with viruses, but by outfitting machines with miniature,
remote-controlled bugs and in some instances by
relying on beams of radio waves to help identify
sensitive information sent across systems. Routinely, he explained, the NSA takes advantage
of flaws in computer code. Otherwise, however,
documents suggest they’ve opened shipping
containers and installed their own, stealthy spy
chips into the computers of targets.
Stories based on leaked Snowden files
have previously linked the US agency and its
British counterpart — the GCHQ — with an
array of nefarious activity, including operations
that sucked up signals intelligence, or SIGINT,
from foreign citizens and leaders alike, including Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel. By
using a program codenamed TURMOIL and
another TURBINE, Appelbaum said, the NSA
and GCHQ can inspect the packets being sent
anywhere across the web and then insert its own
code when it wants to not just eavesdrop, but
infiltrate, respectively.
The NSA says the routine collection of
data isn’t illegal, Appelbaum said, because the
government relies on perverse language to justify
scooping the intelligence — and not necessarily
scouring it.
“It’s only surveillance if after they collect it and record it to a database and analyze
it with machines, only if I think an NSA agent
basically looks at it personally and then clicks ‘I
have looked at this do they call it surveillance,”
Appelbaum said. “Fundamentally, I really object
to that.”
In contrast, he added, the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or CFAA, has been
used a handful of times just in 2013 alone to
put away suspected hackers accused of modifying computer programs for arguably harmless
crimes.
“It’s so draconian for regular people, and
the NSA gets to do something like intercepting
7 billion people all day long with no problems,
and the rest of us are not even allowed to experiment for improving the security of own our lives
without being put in prison or under threat of
serious indictment,” he said.
“This is what [Thomas] Jefferson talked
about when he talked about tyranny,” he said.
“This is turnkey tyranny and it is here.”
Aside from the erosion of privacy, though,
Appelbaum added that the top-secret operations
of the NSA raise a number of questions about
exploits that could be used by competing foreign
powers. Many of the NSA’s tactics involve taking
advantage of little known or hidden vulnerabilities in hardware and software, then exploiting
them for gain.
If the manufacturers of those products
are aware of the vulnerability, Appelbaum
suggested, then they are being complicit in the
NSA’s crimes. And if they are ignorant, then
the existence of those vulnerabilities means any
competing nation-station could likely exploit
them as well.
“If the Chinese, if the Russians if people
here wish to build this system, there is nothing
to stop them,” he said. “The NSA has in a literal
sense retarded the process by which we would
secure the internet because it establishes a hegemony of power — Their power in secret to do
these things.”
“This strategy is undermining the internet
in a direct attempt to keep it insecure,” one of
Appelbaum’s slides read.
The revelations made possible during
the last half-year thanks to Snowden’s supply
of documents and the programmers who have
worked to patch exploits known to the NSA have
driven many privacy-focused individuals around
the globe to adopt new practices. Even as that
wave of countersurveillance grows, however,
Appelbaum cautioned that quite literally no one
can be spared from the US government’s dragnet
snooping.
“You can’t hide from these things, and
thinking that they won’t find you is a fallacy,”
said Appelbaum, a core member of the anonymity
routing program Tor.
And while calls for congressional reform
in Washington have only intensified in the weeks,
then months since the first Snowden leak in early
June, Appelbaum — a US citizen has not returned
to the US since before the Summer of Snowden
— said lawmakers lack both the knowhow and
ability to act on these issues.
“Members of the US Congress they have
no clue about these things — literally in the case
of the technology,” he said. “You can’t even get a
meeting with them. I tried. Doesn’t matter. Even
if you know the secret interpretation of Section
215 of the PATRIOT Act act and you go to Washington, DC and you meet with their aides they
still won’t talk to you about it. Part of that is that
they don’t have a clue. And another part of it is
they can’t talk about it because they don’t have a
political solution. Absence a political solution it’s
very difficult to get someone to admit that there
is a problem. Well, there is a problem.”
If anyone outside of the NSA is aware of
what’s going on, Appelbaum said, then it’s like
the tech industry players whose devices contain
exploits known to governments like the US.
“Fuck those guys,” Appelbaum said, “for
collaborating when they do. And fuck them for
leaving us vulnerable when they do.”
A server made by Texas-based Dell
Computers, for instance — the Dell PowerEdge
2950 — contains a flaw that can let the NSA or
any other entity hack the machinery and then run
amok with its motherboard.
And even the Apple iPhone — one of
the most popular handheld devices in the world
— can be exploited by the NSA, according to
one of the classified documents, to let officials
surreptitiously take pictures with the mobile’s
camera or stealthy turn on its microphone, access
text messages or listen to voicemail.
According to Appelbaum, it’s likely that
it’s not just a coincidence that the NSA can infiltrate iPhones with ease. In one document he saw,
he said the NSA “literally claim that any time
they target an iOS device, that it will succeed
for implantation.”
“Either they have a huge collection of
exploits that work against Apple products —
meaning they are hoarding information about
critical systems American companies product
and sabotaging them — or Apple sabotages it
themselves,” he said.
Other products made by the likes of
Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor and Samsung
all contain vulnerabilities as well, according to
those documents, and the secret software used by
the NSA and others to exploit them are available
for free to properly-credentialed agencies.
“Everything that the United States government accused the Chinese of doing — which they
are also doing, I believe—we are learning that
the US government has been doing to American
companies,” Appelbaum said. “That to me is really concerning, and we’ve had no public debate
about these issues. And in many cases, all the
technical details are obfuscated away.”
Until now, that is. During Monday’s
presentation, Appelbaum named no fewer than
a half-dozen US companies linked to NSA operations and is asking them to explain why they
didn’t patch up their vulnerabilities.
Some of the NSA’s tactics, however,
might warrant more than just a minor operation.
Appelbaum far from caught his crowd off guard
when he showed slides demonstrating how the
NSA can hack Wi-Fi signals from eight miles
away and when he proved they insert ant-sized
computer chips into USB cables to conduct
surveillance.
“Well what if I told you that the NSA had
a specialized technology for beaming energy
into you and to the computer systems around
you?” Appelbaum asked before wrapping up
his presentation. “Would you believe that that is
true, or would that be paranoid speculation of a
crazy person?”
Slides shared by Appelbaum suggest that
the NSA is indeed in the business of transmitting radio frequency waves to targets, which, in
effect, can help decode the images displayed on
computer monitors or typed on keyboards using
technology not unlike what Russian inventor
Leon Theremin used to spy for the KGB. This
time, though, the NSA may be sending waves
with the intensity of 1 kW at a target from only
a few feet away.
“I bet the people who were around Hugo
Chavez are going to wonder what caused his
cancer,” Appelbaum said WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange told him after hearing about the
latest NSA leaks.
Feb. 11th: Day of Action Against NSA
It is on us, the millions of people living in this country, acting together with
people around the world, to stand up, tell the truth, and say NO. February 11, make
it known to the world that we will not accept mass surveillance or any other crime
committed by the US Government in the name of “national security.”

The roll call of U.S. sailors who
say their health was devastated when
they were irradiated while delivering
humanitarian help near the stricken
Fukushima nuke is continuing to
soar.
So many have come forward
that the progress of their federal class
action lawsuit has been delayed.
Bay area lawyer Charles Bonner says a re-filing will wait until early
February to accommodate a constant
influx of sailors from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and other
American ships.
Within a day of Fukushima
One’s March 11, 2011, melt-down,
American “first responders” were
drenched in radioactive fallout. In
the midst of a driving snow storm,
sailors reported a cloud of warm air
with a metallic taste that poured over
the Reagan.
Then-Prime Minister Naoto
Kan, at the time a nuclear supporter,
says “the first meltdown occurred five
hours after the earthquake.” The lawsuit charges that Tokyo Electric Power
knew large quantities of radiation were
pouring into the air and water, but said
nothing to the Navy or the public.
Had the Navy known, says Bonner, it could have moved its ships out of
harm’s way. But some sailors actually
damaged thyroid, disrupted menstrual
cycle, wildly fluctuating body weight
and more. “It’s ruined me,” she says.
Similar complaints have surfaced among so many sailors from
the Reagan and other U.S. ships that
Bonner says he’s being contacted by
new litigants “on a daily basis,” with
the number exceeding 70.
Many are in their twenties,
complaining of a terrible host of
radiation-related diseases. They are
legally barred from suing the U.S.
military. Tepco denies that any of their
health problems could be related to radiation from Fukushima. The company
also says the U.S. has no jurisdiction
in the case.
The suit was initially dismissed
on jurisdictional grounds by federal
Judge Janis S. Sammartino in San
Diego. Sammartino was due to hear
the re-filing Jan. 6, but allowed the litigants another month to accommodate
additional sailors.
Bonner says Tepco should be
subject to U.S. law because “they are
doing business in America … Their
second largest office outside of Tokyo
is in Washington DC.”
Like the lawsuit, the petitions
ask that Tepco admit responsibility, and establish a fund for the first
responders to be administered by the
U.S. courts.

Research published last year
established greater health risks from
exposure to cell phone radiation.
Major governmental reports were
released, and policies were adopted in
Europe and India to reduce risks from
cell phone radiation exposure.
Following are major research
and policy developments regarding
cell phone and wireless radiation
health and safety in 2013:
• 25 or more years of cell phone
and cordless phone use was found to
be associated with a tripled risk of
brain cancer.
• Women who used cell phones
for ten or more years were two-anda-half times more likely to develop
acoustic neuroma, a tumor on the
nerve from the ear to the brain.
• Only 30 minutes of exposure
to LTE, 4th generation cell phone radiation, was found to alter activity on
both sides of the human brain.
• Children with slightly elevated lead levels in their blood who used
cell phones were found to be at greater
risk of developing Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) than
lead-exposed children who did not use
cell phones; the amount of cell phone
use predicted ADHD.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) requested public
input on its 17-year-old regulatory
limits on cell phone radiation.
• The American Academy of
Pediatrics submitted a letter to the
FCC that urged the adoption of standards that protect children’s health
and well-being from radiation emitted
by cell phones and other wireless de-
vices; that reflect how people actually
use their cell phones; and that provide
sufficient information to enable consumers to make informed decisions
when they purchase cell phones.
• The U.S. appointed Tom
Wheeler, the former chief lobbyist for
the cellular industry, to chair the FCC,
raising concerns in the public health
community that the FCC will not
strengthen our obsolete and inadequate
cell phone radiation standards.
• The World Health Organization in a 471 page report concluded
that there is now “limited evidence”
in both humans and laboratory animals that radiofrequency radiation,
especially from cell phones, causes
cancer.
• The European Environment
Agency issued a report calling on
governments to reduce exposure to cell
phone radiation, especially exposure
to children and young adults who are
at greatest risk for brain and salivary
gland tumors; the report recommended
texting, use of hands-free sets, and
improved cell phone design; governments should reconsider the present
exposure standards; cell phones should
be required to have effective labeling
and warnings about potential risks;
and funding should be provided for
“urgently needed research into the
health effects of phones” and base
stations.
• Twelve health experts called
on governments to adopt stricter
safety standards for radiofrequency

CHIROPRACTIC CORNER:
HOW INJURED TISSUES WORK
A CRANIO-SACRAL PERSPECTIVE
T
by Sylvia Skefich, D.C.
he cranio-sacral
rhythm is the “heart
beat” of the spine. The rhythm (or pulse)
circulates the spinal fluid, and helps to circulate
the blood and the lymph too. The cranio-sacral
pulse is very slow and very subtle, but is a true
mechanical pulsation. There are various types of
blockages that can interfere with this pulsation.
TRAUMA PATTERNS
Old wounds and healed traumas can leave
effects of physical restriction on the cranio-sacral
rhythm. Physical traumas heal with scarring.
Even if you cannot see the scarring, microscopic buildup of collagen and fibrinogen fibers
lay down wherever there was inflammation in
order to tighten up and heal an injury. Imagine
that this has happened inside, perhaps where a
hamstring was torn, or an ankle was sprained.
Those areas will no longer slide and glide like
they once did. We call it “restriction.” The altered
mechanics can lead to further irritation of the
area, or even lead to painful compensations in
a neighboring joint instead.
STRESS PATTERNS
Habitual posture tension can come from
mental windup. Imagine a person cocked to run
on a starting line: some degree of this “ready to
spring”/windup is initiated with stressful thoughts
and responses. The body does not know the
difference between mental/emotional stress
versus physical stress (the kind where we need
to actually run or fight). Some people have their
shoulders up around their ears all the time. Other
people get cold, painful or numb hands in response to shoulder girdle tension. Other people
have a chronic ache in the hip or low back, from
being mildly torqued from the “windup.”
SYSTEMIC PATTERNS
Systemic (meaning, affecting the whole
body) tension patterns can be caused from
chronic food-caused inflammation, or other
chemical issues. The tension can come from a
habit of too much salt causing tissue turgor, or
from hormonal imbalances, or even from a onetime or a chronic history of fevers. Exposure to
medications, or to vaccinations can also stiffen
the whole body up. This type of tension can
sometimes be hard to diagnose as the exact
cause.
Each cause of tension or stiffness creates
a dampening of the cranio-sacral rhythm in the
body. Imagine a billowing silk scarf in the wind,
but now it has some wax spilled on it, as well as
some glue and paper stuck on it from a crafts
project, and some dried jam fell and splotched on
it too. The fabric would not billow in the wind the
same way anymore. It would take some specific
force that was greater than the restriction, and
focused on the restriction in order to remove
that restriction. The gentle holds of CranioSacral Technique actually focus the waves that
are in the body right to the restrictions, thereby
smoothing them out (just like the surges of the
ocean will move sandbars over time, or like how
a person could shake out a crispy sheet and have
it smooth out). It’s pretty fabulous, and employing
cranio-sacral to the body can relieve pains and
discomforts, old and new.

HOW EAR CANDLING HELPS YOUR
IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR HEALING
by Charlotte Carreira, BS,
MBA
e probably know
more people than
ever who have
been dealing with some
form of illness since the
holidays. No one likes to
be sick, but that illness is a
sign that something is out
of balance and the immune
system is stressed and not working as efficiently
as it should.
The ancient practice of Ear Candling has
been known to help stimulate the Immune System
which then helps what I call Whole Body healing.
Basically, your body works similarly to a machine,
with different systems that make up your body
and allow it to run effectively. If one system is
not running properly, over time, your whole body
will be affected. These systems perform different tasks in the body and encompass different
organs. These systems include: Cardiovascular,
Respiratory, Digestive and Elimination, Endocrine, Integumentary (skin), Nervous System,
Skeletal, Muscular and Immune.
The job of the Immune System is to protect
against disease or other potentially damaging
foreign bodies. When functioning properly, the
Immune System identifies a variety of threats,
including viruses, bacteria and parasites, and
distinguishes them from the body’s own healthy
tissue, and then provides nutrients to eliminate
those cells from the healthy tissues and cells.
The major components of the Immune
System include the Lymphatic System—which
consists of bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and
lymph nodes containing the clear lymph fluid
that carries those cells to different parts of the
body. When the body is fighting infection, lymph
nodes can become enlarged and feel sore. They
become congested—and blocked which slows the
drainage and nutrient delivery down.
So how does Ear Candling work to stimulate
the Immune System?
Ear Candling is an ancient noninvasive
complementary modality practiced in a variety of
cultures to assist in the body’s own ability to drain,
W

Integration
eliminate toxins and to enhance its own energy
flow, specifically with the lymphatic system.
The ear contains approximately four thousand pores along with several thousand-nerve
endings, which attach themselves to acupuncture
points associated with organs, bones, muscles,
and skin, which carry subtle energy flows that
carry our life force. These pores run long and
deep into our system connecting to our sinuses,
skeleton, lymph nodes, eyes, and other parts of
our body. The pores also connect to the cerumen gland, which produces earwax 24 hours a
day in an effort to maintain balance between the
outer, middle and inner ear. When there is an
overabundance of earwax, the wax puts pressure on the nerve endings. The nerve ending
then puts pressure on the body systems and
deters it from potentially producing the essential
nutrients necessary for our immune system to
function optimally.
Ear Candling may contribute toward alleviating conditions ranging from tinnitus to allergies,
swollen lymph nodes, candida, and ear-related
symptoms that cause discomfort in the head, neck
and shoulder regions. In addition, Ear Candling
may also detoxify the lymphatic system and thus
clears the sinuses of congestion and discomfort
associated with eye, ear, nose, and throat ailments. It may improve the clarity of hearing,
sight, smell, touch, and taste.
Even more importantly, the practice stimulates the relaxation response and can be uplifting,
leading to a sense of well- being and contentment.
With consistent practice, along with proper hydration, rest, exercise, food choices, and organic
whole food supplement nutrition, this procedure
can contribute to the natural state of wellness the
body is always seeking.
Ear Candling can be done anytime throughout the year, although many take advantage of the
change in seasons to help the body to adapt. For

obtained between one-fourth to one-third of their
minerals from the water they drank. In other
words, our predecessors had a far greater mineral
intake than we do. They acquired the electrolytes
needed to keep the cells healthy, activate the
body’s enzymes, glands, defenses and antioxidant
enzymes and process fats properly.”(7) It is the
1950’s that basically mark the point where the
already diminishing trace minerals were almost
vanishing from our diets.
There is a famous folk song called “Where
Have All the Flowers Gone?” We can now ask
“Where have all the minerals gone?” They surely
must be on our planet somewhere. The answer
is ... they have gone to our oceans.
Ocean Derived sea Minerals
Dr. Maynard Murray, medical doctor and
trace mineral pioneer, beginning in 1938 and
continuing through the 1950‘s researched the
crucial importance of minerals — especially trace
elements — to plants and animals. He stated
that the center of life’s gravity was the ocean, the
repository of minerals from the land, dissolved
and carried to nature’s settling basin via streams,
both above and below the ground. He explained
that the ocean contained nutrient-rich accumulations of trace minerals, all of which figure in the
life process. He pointed out that life started in the
sea and that human blood is about 25 percent
sea water. “And if we wish to live well and long,
we must concentrate with the utmost seriousness
upon proper nutrition. Of necessity, this attention
starts with nutrients balanced in the sea.”(5)
With the recent republication (2003 - note the book was out of print for more than 25 years)
of Dr. Maynard Murray’s Sea Energy Agriculture,
readers rediscovered the forgotten legacy of an
eco-ag pioneer. Murray’s idea — that ocean water
contains a concentrated, perfect balance of trace
minerals in bioavailable form — seems almost as
revolutionary today as when he introduced it three
decades ago.(6)
“Ocean water contains a complete spectrum of elements, whereas soil and fresh water
do not. Plants in the ocean can select any and all
the elements they need to grow. In turn, ocean
animals feeding on these plants easily obtain their
element requirements and thus better disease
resistance.”(6) “Minerals from seawater are far
superior to land sources. This water is easy to
assimilate.”(4) “The waters of the oceans hold
the perfect balance of those essential elements
required as food for the complex cell groups that
make up our bodies.”(5)
Rene Quinton (1866-1925) was a French
physiologist, biologist and naturalist that investigated the similarity between sea water and human
blood. His use of sea water and its compatibility
with living organisms was used successfully in
hospitals.
William D. Snively, Jr., M.D. writes in his book
Sea Within —The Story of Our Body Fluid a very
interesting concept. “When man’s forebears left
the sea, they took a tiny portion of it with them,
enclosed in their own bodies. Over the ages, this
portion has been converted admirably to man’s
needs as a terrestrial creature. Our heritage from
the sea, body fluid, serves as an ever-present
reminder of our marine ancestry.”(8)

healthy diet rich in
nutrients is the centerpiece of a vibrant,
long and disease free life.
A good diet keeps your
body parts functioning well,
maintains harmonious system balance, keeps thinking and memory sharp (the
body well nourished has
greater mental acuity),
provides a high level of
energy, staves off disease,
and contributes to a more
youthful appearance and
longevity.
It is important to keep
in mind that the quality of
an individual’s health, vitality and energy is constantly being affected by good or poor nutritional
choices. The lack of energy, vitality and then lack
of health get continuously more noticeable as we
get older if we continuously make poor nutritional
choices.
A truly healthy diet focuses on eating
predominantly nutrient dense foods. This basically means that they are “packed with nutrients”
instead of empty calories. They are exceptionally nutritious, containing proportionally higher
quantities of nutrients and other beneficial food
attributes. Not only do nutrient dense foods
maintain good health, support immunity, support
cellular repair, speed recovery from illness, but it
is the best way to maintain a healthy weight and
great for weight loss because your body is getting
all the nutrients you need.
Many people understand that they should
eat proteins, carbohydrates and fats. But lets
examine nutrient density. What makes foods nutrient dense? Here are some of the most important
kinds (classifications) of nutrients:
Minerals
Enzymes
Vitamins
Antioxidants
Probiotics
Phytonutrients
EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids)
Minerals
Every biological function of the human body
relies on adequate levels of macro and trace minerals. Macro minerals are needed by the body in
greater amounts then trace minerals. However, a
deficiency of either macro or trace minerals produces equally harmful effects. Without adequate
levels of all minerals, the body’s ability to function
properly is impeded and ultimately disrupted.
Minerals are involved in many processes such
as promoting growth; providing building materials
for bones, teeth, tissue, muscle, blood formation,
hormone production, and nerve cells; they participate in muscle contraction, protein building, energy production, quench damaging free radicals,
maintaining cell strength, and the fragile balance
of body fluids.(1) (3) (7)
Trace minerals are essential in the assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients.
(1) In fact, minerals are essential in the body to
activate enzymes! Enzymes need certain minerals
and vitamins to serve as cofactors.(2) Trace minerals also aid in digestion and provide the catalyst
for many hormones. They are also important in
replacing electrolytes.(1)
We should be getting the minerals we need
from our diets. However, the advent of modern agriculture and food processing has led to a severe
decline in the levels of vital minerals in our food.
Even organic food is not exempt from this, as our
topsoil is often barren of minerals.
We are so accustomed to the time in which
we are born that we fail to realize that food was
not processed, pasteurized or cooked as much as
it is today. Foods were once usually left whole and
grown without chemical fertilizers and our water
supplies came from springs, streams or wells and
contained minerals that the body was able to use.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D. notes that our ancestors

Page 12 Gerry Amena the founder of Pure
Aussie TM states in an interview with Acres
USA magazine, “Ocean water is the richest life
sustainable and life enhancing source of ionic —
water soluble — minerals, both macro and trace.
Just look at the abundance and variety of life
forms that it supports! Ocean water is the perfect
catalyst for life.”
Electrolytes
Research shows that minerals are absorbed
most effectively by the body when they are transmuted in a liquid medium. “Water is the ultimate
mineral solvent and breaks them down into their
free ionic state where they become electrically
charged — electrolytes. In this form, they are
easily absorbed through the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, and then by the cells.”(7)
Minerals, especially electrolytes are essential in carrying chemical messages in the brain and
nervous system. That is — the neurotransmitters
in the brain are made from, and stimulated by,
electrolytes and macro-minerals, amino acids,
choline and other nutritional factors. Electrolytes
are the primary factors for keeping our cells and
immune systems healthy. Electrolyte balance has
significant potential in preventing and eliminating
disease. We can go on and on with the importance
of electrolytes however, here is a gem of a statement from Dr. Bernard Jensen, chiropractor and
author of numerous books on health and healing.
“We cannot heal a person through symptomatic
relief. We must go to the root of the problem - to
the cell itself — where electrolytes are at work
giving life. It is here that real healing can begin.”(7)
PH
PH stands for “potential hydrogen” and technically reflects the concentration of hydrogen ions
(positively charged molecules) in any substance or
solution. The relationship between acid and base
is scientifically quantified on a scale of 0 to 14. 7
is neutral. Below 7 is acid and above 7 is alkaline.
“The pH of your blood, tissues, and bodily
fluids affects the state of your cellular health and
internal cleanliness.”(9) “The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. The
entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline
environment. Chronic over acidity corrodes body
tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of
your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In other
words, over acidity interferes with life itself.”(10)
There are countless names attached to all
the illnesses. However, all disease and infections
come from the same root cause … too much tissue
acid waste in the body! (11) Over-acidification of
the body sets in motion a destructive cycle of imbalance, disease, and even being overweight.(12)
Few people know this fact: Louis Pasteur upon his
deathbed said “The microbe is nothing, the terrain
everything.” (13) This means that if your body is in
a proper alkaline state then bacteria, viruses and
fungus have a very hard time trying to live in your
body. These unfriendly microbes need and want
an acid environment to thrive!
Once you come to understand the destruction that elevated acidic levels in the body can do,
you can make the removal and prevention of acidic
wastes a priority in restoring and maintaining good
health. (14) Your first goal toward achieving health
is to create the proper alkaline balance within your
body. Begin by starting to eat the proper balance
of alkaline and acid foods. The general percentage is 75% to 80% alkalizing and 20% to 25%
acid foods. Another way to basically think about
it is — three-quarters of your plate is alkaline and
one-quarter is acid.
As a person eats more alkalizing foods (especially raw vegetables, greens and fruits) and
drinks alkalizing water there will be improvement
in red blood cell integrity, oxygenation of the blood
and levels of negative microforms will be reduced
… you will experience renewed vitality. (15)
Acid forming foods include animal protein
(meats, eggs, dairy), nuts, seeds, sugar, alcohol,
coffee, soft drinks, additives such as aspartame
and monosodium glutamate, etc. It is a good
idea to obtain a book, that contains a “pH chart
of foods” in order to better understand what foods
are alkalizing and which are acidic. However here
are two general rules to keep in mind.
Decrease acidity: Unhealthy foods or
substances are almost always acidic — just
keeping those types of things out of your diet will
help greatly. The body does need a balance of
about 20% acid foods — so choosing healthy
acid forming foods would be your best choice.
Examples include: nuts, seeds, raw sauerkraut,
most grains are acid forming; some fruits are acid
forming, etc.
Increase alkalinity: Add more fresh raw
vegetables and fruits and drink pure alkaline water.
Life itself depends on these minute minerals having the proper electrical charge in
relationship to each other.
Pure Aussie TM brings to you pH-balancing
pure alkalizing sea minerals.
Summary
Ocean Derived Sea Minerals are a superior way to supplement.
Every biological function of the human body
relies on adequate levels of all the macro and
all the trace minerals. A full spectrum of ionic
minerals are necessary to support optimum health.
Water is the ideal medium for transporting nutrients
in the cells and for the chemical reactions of cellular
metabolism to take place. Water is the ultimate
mineral solvent and breaks minerals down into
their free ionic state where they become electrically
charged — electrolytes! The Ocean is the answer
to full spectrum ionic minerals as it also contains
the nutrient-rich accumulations of trace minerals.
The waters of the Ocean hold the perfect balance
of those essential elements required as food for
the cells that make up our bodies.
Pure Aussie TM
Pure Aussie Sea Minerals are harvested from
pristine Australian ocean waters in the Southern
Hemisphere. Through our unique solar evaporation process most of the sodium is removed leaving
an ionic and full spectrum mineral solution that is
easily absorbed. Adding minerals daily helps to
achieve a Nutrient-Dense diet.

A Story of EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS!
by Lynda Chaikin, ThetaHealing
Master Instructor and Practitioner
re you ready to find out
what’s available and possible for you and your life?
We are capable of so much more than
we’ve been led to believe!
I am excited to share with you
a moving story from one of my
students:
“In early 2012, I was struggling
financially and had been trying to
run three businesses, but did not
make a profit. I was looking for a
job and serving my real estate clients
simultaneously. I was heartbroken to
think I might not be able to stay in
real estate and worried about paying
my bills and borrowing money.
I could not go on like this: I
would not be living the life I knew
I could. Having already taken Basic
and Advanced ThetaHealing with
Lynda, and gaining great results from
ThetaHealing sessions with her, I
was well aware of the power of this
work. I knew I had the potential to
live my dreams and the life I most
wanted — it was just out of my
reach, and I could feel it but could
not bring that energy here yet.
Manifesting and Abundance
ThetaHealing Class was exactly
what I needed: the entire premise
of the class is to co-create and take
concepts from possibility to reality.
If there was anything available that
would make a great difference, it
would be this class.
I had some doubt because I
needed to borrow the money to take
the course and wanted to be sure
about the investment. I spoke to a
trusted friend and colleague who told
me how important the class had been
for her. Based on her counsel and
my experience in the other classes I
chose to do the class.
After taking Manifesting and
Abundance ThetaHealing in No-

vember 2012, I felt peaceful and
confident. It was clear that I could
live the life I wanted and had the
tools to do it. I was excited to see
how this would all come together.
Just a couple weeks later, I received
a paycheck that allowed me to pay
back the borrowed money and have
my expenses covered for the next
few months. A couple weeks after
that, I did it again. In two more
weeks, I had the best sale of my
career and then topped that a month
later. 2013 was by far the best year I
have ever had professionally.
Using the techniques taught
so skillfully by Lynda and having removed many blocks, I am
realizing the life I’ve dreamed of:
a thriving real estate practice, a
healthy and secure relationship, and
a beautiful home. Taking Manifesting and Abundance made all the
difference.”

Green Flags from Heaven
by Doreen Virtue
You’re not a victim, nor can you
ever be a victim. As long as you stay
sober, alert, and aware of your inner
guidance, you’ll always be safe and
supported. Just as angels send redflag signs to warn you about getting
involved with the wrong person, so
do they send you green flags to direct
you along the right path.
Green flags are when you get
frequent and continual inner nudges to
take positive steps or make healthful
life changes.
Some women were raised with
the notion that females are supposed
to be demure and defer to a man’s
authority and power. This is so unhealthy and unnatural. Every person,
regardless of the gender of the physical
body in which he or she incarnated in
this lifetime, has equal access to God’s
Divine power.
Several women have admitted
to me that they equate power with
manliness. They fear that they’ll push
men away from them by becoming
powerful. But the happy truth is
that it’s entirely possible and also
admirable to be both feminine and
powerful. Power doesn’t mean that
you have to wear men’s suits and go
around bullying people. That’s confusing power with aggression. They’re
not the same!
Power simply means that you
honor your feelings, and have the courage to speak up about them without
apology or trying to control the other
person’s reactions.
A powerful person is comfortable with him- or herself. A powerful
person doesn’t need someone else’s
approval in order to be happy. Emotionally healthy men and women
admire and are attracted to confident
women.
You already have these qualities, because you already are powerful.
You may need to remind yourself of
this if you’re just beginning to reawaken and reassume your personal
power.
It begins by questioning every
part of your life where you’ve worried
what other people will think. It means
looking at any relationship where
you’re asking that other person for
permission. It means being aware of
whatever relationship triggers anxiety
or fear within you.
A number of people have told
me that they have a deep-seated fear of
abusing their power, if they allowed it
to be unleashed. Again, this is confusing power with aggression! Yes, it’s
true that when you’re aggressive, you
do abuse your authority. Aggressive
people hurt others in order to get their
own goals met. But a sensitive and
loving Earth Angel would never dream
of taking someone else’s rights away
or hurting anyone else in order to get
ahead. This wouldn’t even enter his or
her consciousness. If you’re the type of
person who would abuse others, then
you’re no Earth Angel.
Some people are afraid of their
power because it means that they’ll
be forced to take total responsibility
How Will You Relate?
by Alison H. Brooks
As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) I work in the relationship
business. So what is this term, “relationship” we reference so frequently?
It is certainly a word we use often and
in varying ways. As with many words,
it is defined differently depending on
who is doing the defining. Since it is
such an important word, let’s break it
down and see if there is anything new
to discover.
To relate, is in one simple definition, to understand. So let’s proceed
with the notion that when we relate, we
mean: understand. With this meaning
of relate in mind, let’s explore the

to the end of a word in the English
language, -ship is intended to indicate the quality, state, status, skill, or
collective body (as in penmanship or
craftsmanship). With this meaning
in mind, the quality of understanding, the state of understanding, the
status of understanding, the skill in
understanding or the collective body
of understanding all describe the term
“relationship”.
As we grow up in this world
of inborn and instant relationships,
other people present to us their quality
of understanding, the state of it, the
status of it and their skill with it, from
the day we arrive in our lives. Therefore, from the day we are born we are
understood (or not), nurtured (or not)
in relationships. As our relationship to
ourselves is formed in this dynamic
exchange with others, we obtain certain understandings about ourselves
and begin to relate to ourselves. This
journey of learning about who we are
and how we are in relationship with
others forms the basis of life long
beliefs we hold about ourselves. It
is from these beliefs that we go forth

“The Secret of the Best Relationship”
by Joyce and Barry Vissell
We see so many people who
are struggling now more than ever
with their intimate relationships. For
many, the pace of life is quickening,
and stress levels are intensifying. At
the same time, consciousness has
grown to a point where many people
are painfully aware of their lack of real
connection with others.
Throughout our forty years of
practicing psychotherapy and leading
relationship workshops, we have had
the opportunity to study many couples
over a long period of time. With many
of these couples, there is the initial
high of falling in love. Over time,
some of them somehow deepen their
love and the relationship flourishes.
Many other couples gradually lose
their love and enthusiasm for one another. Everyone wants to stay in love,
but why do some relationships make
it, while others don’t? Why does the
love in some relationships flourish,
while getting buried in others? What
are the secrets of a healthy and fulfilling relationship?
In the relationships that make it,
each individual is willing to make the
relationship a priority, giving it time,
energy and nurturing. They view their
relationship as a beloved plant, thriving with enough care and attention.
The partners in a prospering
relationship are willing to look inside
themselves, rather than only to their
partner, for their growth and learning.
They are willing to see their partner
as a mirror — a soul mirror — reflecting back to them qualities which are
within themselves, qualities they need
to continually reclaim as their own.
These partners are willing to trust
this mirror of relationship. When their
outer senses tell them it’s the other person’s fault in a difficult situation, they
are willing to search deeper for their
own issues that have contributed to this
situation. Likewise, when their senses
reveal to them the beauty, strength
and goodness of their friend, they are
willing to search deeper for these same
Joyce and Barry Vissell
qualities in themselves.
The discovery that your lover
is a soul mirror, reflecting back to you
everything you are needing to learn
about yourself in any given moment,
will make the difference between a
good relationship and a great relationship. This is seeing the mirror. There is
another step in the process. It is enjoying, rather than merely accepting or
tolerating, the mirroring. It is viewing
the process of mirroring with awe and
reverence. Accepting the soul mirror
in your beloved will make for a great
relationship. Loving and celebrating
the soul mirror will create a sacred
relationship, where there is no limit to
the love that can be experienced.
We feel each one of us is in
relationship with ourselves, and this
inner relationship is the spiritual path
we are following. Our relationships
with others can help us or hinder us,
but it’s ultimately our decision. We
human beings can easily get lost in our
relationships with others. Relationship
can become a seductive trap that pulls
us away from ourselves, onto a long
side-trip of life. Or it can be a powerful
vehicle that helps to awaken us to who
we are and why we have been born.
Our lives will not be fulfilled until we
discover our own deepest purpose in
life. It is to give and receive love. It is
to enjoy the beauty of this world and
to help create more beauty. And it is to
remember that we each are an integral
part of the whole. Each one of us is
linked to all of creation. Each one of
us is sustained by an omnipresent light,
love and consciousness. To be aware of
this connection, and give thanks for it,

derstanding, how do I relate to myself,
and how does this translate outwardly
in my relationship with others?
Good news and exciting news!
The way we relate to ourselves is
changeable and therein resides our
potential for authentic power. The
process of changing and improving
our relationship with ourselves can
be expedited and assisted by seeking
therapy. Since we come to understand
who and how we are in the context
of relationship with others, it makes
sense that we address and heal the
wounding that results from those
relationships, in the context of a thera-
peutic one. A therapeutic relationship
offers a unique opportunity to explore,
identify and release ways of relating to
ourselves that do not serve us and reinstill ways that are more fully aligned
with our deepest knowing, with our
true selves. Therapy provides us the
chance to improve our relationship
with ourselves, by engaging healing
within the safety and support of the
therapeutic relationship. We are then
able to more skillfully relate with others and the world. When we make
the time to understand ourselves more
fully, we will learn to enjoy the most
consistent and important relationship
we have.
is to live in the highest state of spiritual
joy, peace and fulfillment.
Every one of us has what it
takes to bring more love into our life.
It is our divine birthright. We deserve
to love and be loved. To do this, however, we need to look in two places
— outside and inside. Our culture has
trained us to look only outside, to see
only the surface of ourselves and each
other. We do need to look outside, to
practice seeing beauty in others. Yet it
is just as important to practice seeing
beauty in ourselves, to know ourselves
as beautiful, capable and deserving of
love. This takes willingness to look
at ourselves differently, to see past
the many limiting things people have
told us about ourselves. In our souls,
we are not bad, stupid or ugly boys
or girls. We are human and spiritual
beings capable of the highest level of
love and creativity.
It is our wish and prayer that
each one of us discover our own inner
beauty. In many ways this is the highest work we can do to deepen all our
relationships.

Transform Your Life by “Transforming Love”
by Debra Denker
Ever wonder why you keep
repeating the same old patterns in
your love life, and maybe other areas
of your life as well? No matter how
much you try to change them, using
affirmations, prayers, healing and
therapy?
“Love coach” Robyn Randolph,
a former Santa Cruzan now living the
life of her dreams with the love of her
life in the Highlands of Scotland, offers her Transforming Love process as
a way to break the patterns by “healing
the parts of ourselves that were shattered” to “fully transform into your
authentic self. As children we had
authentic selves, but they didn’t get to
fully develop, kind of like the caterpillar and the butterfly---the authentic
elements were there. This process
takes someone into the cocoon and
frees them to fly.”
Robyn developed this process
out of her own experience in order
to help others attain the joy and fulfillment that she has, without taking
decades to do it. Robyn realized that
many of us lost our authentic selves
somewhere in childhood, leaving us
with negative life scripts that we acted
out repeatedly, based on core beliefs
like “I am not worthy of love,” “there’s
something wrong with me,” or “I’ll
never be good enough”---despite our
endless affirmations of attracting the
perfect partner.
“As children, our parents are
like our gods,” says Robyn. The child
interprets actions and words through a
child’s eyes, leading people to recreate scripts in their adult lives such as
choosing unavailable partners, being
abandoned, or attracting partners
who reflect a parent’s inability to love
or give.
Robyn asks three powerful
questions in the first of three sessions--in person, on the phone, or on Skype--that lead a client on a journey of selfcompassion, insight, and reclaiming
the lost parts of the authentic self. She
likens it to being “an anthropologist,
only you’re studying yourself” from
the “witness mind.” Patterns become
clear as the client sees events “through

the adult’s eyes, who has much bigger
perspective” and reinterprets the consequences, payoffs, and strategies that
resulted from their core beliefs.
The next phase is to paint the
“blank canvas.” “It’s not enough just
to list” the qualities one wants in a
partner. “People want to forget whatever happened in the past and just
manifest,” Robyn says, but “there are
no short cuts. You can’t skip any of
the steps.” This was shown to her in a
vivid dream of a ladder in the clouds
missing rungs, making for a dizzying
and dangerous descent until she connected with the Divine.
The process is penetrating, perhaps painful, and very powerful. “The
kind of person who wants to work with
me has to be somebody who really
wants this. They can’t be lukewarm
about it…That passion is part of what
makes it happen.”
Transforming Love can be applied to many areas of life as well as attracting the perfect mate, because “it’s
about coming home, back to who you
authentically are, and about listening
deeply to what you intuitively sense
is possible.” The key, Robyn says, is
“accepting all parts of yourself, just
being able to ‘be with.’” She calls it
being “full in the emptiness” as one
embraces possibility and the Divine
element.
Robyn’s clients must be “willing to look at the past before creating
possibilities for the future.” She creates
a sense of safety, reminding her clients
that “there’s no judgment.”
Robyn’s own life was not always the happy state of sharing a
dream with a partner and “waking up
every day with the love of my life.” She
and her husband Geoff both struggled
through unhappy marriages for over 20
years before they met on match.com
and married a year later. As a child
actress, she played the role onstage
of one of the stepsisters in Cinderella.
“Little did I realize that the role I was
playing mirrored the inner script I
was writing and acting out in my life.”
Years of training with leading lights
such as Ron Kurtz, founder of Hakomi psychotherapy, Kathy Tyler and
Joy Drake, who created Angel Cards
and the Game of Transformation, and
popular author Larry Crabb helped her
to witness her own process.
After her divorce, Robyn made
plenty of mistakes in dating. “I could
do stand-up comedy,” she wryly remembers. “What makes me a good
coach is I know what it’s like not to
have it, and what it’s like to have it,
and what it took to get it.”
Robyn’s loving and compassionate coaching can help you to be
“complete with yourself, so that you’ll
never settle again.” One of Robyn’s
clients, well-known Executive Coach
Nina Cherry, writes: “Robyn has been
coaching me to completely transform
my inner world in order to magnetize
the right life partner for me. She had
me rewrite my ‘story’ so I am a FIT
for what I want in a man! Robyn reminds me not to settle for less…I am
grateful to Robyn beyond any words
I could express.”
Robyn’s clients commit to three
sessions, with up to three weeks in
between and lots of enriching homework. Phase I is discovering your core
beliefs, Phase II is rewriting the story
you really want to create, and Phase III
is synthesizing. Clients have the option
of additional sessions as they progress
in dating and relationship.
Robyn works on a sliding scale of $75
to $150 a session. She can be reached
at [email protected]
Debra Denker is a writer, filmmaker,
energy healer, intuitive counselor, and
animal communicator based in Santa
Fe, New Mexico. Her website is www.
debradenker.com Debra was so impressed after interviewing Robyn that
she signed up for the “Transforming
Love” process.
Why Did This Happen To Me?
by Pernilla Lillarose
I am sure you’ve heard it before that if you want to be in a loving
relationship with someone, you have
to be in that loving relationship with
yourSelf first.
I wasn’t always in a loving relationship with mySelf and struggled
and suffered through plenty of relationships hoping to be loved and accepted in the areas I didn’t even know I
was rejecting – even hating myself.
Just like in any other relationship, it takes time to get to know yourself deeply and learn to accept yourself
fully. Then the question: “Why Did
This Happen To Me?” won’t bug you
anymore. You’ll know the answer and
you’ll know how to make sure it won’t
happen to you again.
The Pain Of Leaving
MySelf
Going through my share of relationships where I didn’t honor my
deepest truths in order to be loved
and liked by ‘other’ was the painful
foundation that catapulted me into
a new Relationship with mySelf. The
pain I felt from leaving mySelf finally
forced me to look at how I was ignoring what deeply mattered to me.
Being in a Loving relationship
with yourSelf is a process of meeting
and listening to all the parts that you
have rejected, ignored and disowned.
When I wrote my book ‘Imagine Being Kind To YourSelf’ it sounded
like a foreign language. The spiritual
teachings I was involved with seemed
to suggest to leave the whole ‘self
business’ behind. So
where did ‘being kind to
yourself’ fit in? Luckily,
today it has become an
accepted, essential part
of living an integrated
awake life.
How do you build a loving
relationship with your
Self?
Although reading about ‘How
to’ isn’t enough, it may inspire you to
start taking a new approach.
It always starts with bringing
awareness to the areas where you are
‘not your own best friend’.
Start with one part of yourself
that you are resisting, rejecting or
ignoring. Then try this:

No matter who you are or what
your current relationship status is,
there is a sweet and intimate connection of another sort waiting for you.
Everything about you is designed for
it and if you give yourself over to it,
the vibrant aliveness and peace you
are made up of, shine. When fully
immersed in it, life takes on a rich
magical quality, and wonder, gratitude,
and love flow in abundance.
It is an essential connection,
woven into the fabric of your every
breath and cell, and yet somehow,
it has been all but forgotten in our
modern-day frenzy to get somewhere
better and different. It is devalued to
such a degree that you may not even be
aware that it is missing from your life.
And yet, I am certain that if you listen
closely, you will hear an urgent longing inside yourself to come back home
to the Earth, to see yourself reflected
in its balance and sanity, and to feel its
steady pulse as near as your own.
We are built to live in close
connection with the rhythms, animals,
plants, and elements upon which we
wholly depend. As a species, we have
done so for hundreds of thousands of
years and only in the last few hundred
have we diverged from it drastically.
The resulting global misery is easy
to see and on an individual level, the
trauma has become so severe that
we now believe that the cocktail of
anxiety, depression, doubt, addiction,
and loneliness plaguing each one of
us is normal.
It’s not normal and the stakes
are too high to keep pretending it is.
While our current state of separation
is extreme, it remains astonishingly
simple to reconnect in a felt way with
this living planet. We only need to prioritize it with our time and attention,
as we would any cherished friend or
lover. I’m not talking about increasing the number of nature experiences
you have. While hiking with a friend,
blazing through the woods on your
bike, and lying under a tree reading are
enjoyable, the invitation I am extending is more radical and revolutionary.
I’m asking you to let go of all
distractions, drop your agendas, go
outside, be slow, still even, and give
your full and open attention to discovering what is going on around you.
Doing this often will transform you.
You will come to know the trees, birds,

How to Keep Your CHildren HealtHY
during Cold and Flu SeaSon
R
by Dr. Rachel Rozelle
ecent evidence
from The American Association
of Pediatrics (AAP) has
shown that the majority of common colds are
caused by viral infections.
Because of this, the AAP
has stated that antibiotics are not an effective
treatment for the common cold and should not
be used as a first line treatment. Furthermore,
unnecessary treatments with antibiotics can result
in an unfavorable antimicrobial flora in the body
putting you at an increased risk for opportunistic
infections.
Fortunately, there are many naturopathic
treatments that provide effective treatments for
the common cold and flu. Listed below are a
few safe and effective treatments that work by
stimulating the body’s immune system to help it
fight off infection, as well as providing specific
anti-viral or anti-microbial activity. These treatments are safe and effective for both children
and adults.
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra):
Elderberry extract has been shown to be
a safe and effective treatment for the influenza
virus. Studies have shown that elderberry supplementation can reduce the duration of the virus
by up to 4 days, as well as provide symptomatic
relief. Elderberry has also been shown to prevent
replication of the influenza virus in vitro. Not
only is elderberry an effective treatment for the
flu, it tastes delicious as well, making it a great
treatment for children.
Vitamin D:
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in modulating the body’s immune system. Deficiencies in
vitamin D are associated with increased susceptibility to infection. Although you can get vitamin
D from sunlight, clinical studies have shown that
most people are deficient in vitamin D, especially
children, due to increased use of sunscreen and
decreased sun exposure. Because vitamin D is
a fat-soluble vitamin with a narrow therapeutic
range, it is recommended to test blood vitamin
D levels before supplementation to maintain
optimal values.
Probiotics:
Did you know that the majority of your immune system is located in your gut? Therefore, a
healthy GI tract is vital to maintaining a healthy
immune system. Supplementing with probiotics,
the good healthy bacteria, will help improve your
GI and subsequent immune function. Probiotics
not only play a crucial role in the development
and function of the mucosal immune system in
your GI tract, they also aid in the production of
antibodies to harmful pathogens.
Nutrition:
It is important to keep your child hydrated
while he/she is sick. Many hospital visits in
children are due to dehydration during an illness.
Push clear fluids such as water or pedialyte (or
breast milk if still breast-feeding). Avoid cow’s
milk and other dairy products as they can increase
mucus production. Avoid sugar and white flour/
grains as these can suppress the immune system
and feed viruses.
Naturopathic medicine provides safe and
effective treatments for common cold and flu
viruses. While many natural treatments are safe
to use at home, it is best to contact your doctor
when your child becomes sick to rule out any
serious medical conditions and receive individualized care.
Dr. Rachel Rozelle received her Doctorate
Degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest
College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ.
After graduation, she completed a one-year family residency at Southwest Naturopathic Medical
Center. She currently works at Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center where she specializes in

child is born. If the parent chooses not to have
their 12-hour-old newborn vaccinated in the
newborn nursery, it takes enormous effort on
the parent’s part to make sure this vaccine is not
given without their informed consent before the
baby leaves the hospital.
Secondly, this vaccine given on the day
of birth is the least justifiable of any vaccine
that I can think of. A child can ONLY get the
disease from IV drug abuse, sexual activity with
an infected partner, a blood transfusion using
contaminated blood, OR from the mother.
There are few or no detectable antibodies in
the blood of most children within 7-10 years after
they are vaccinated so booster shots will probably
be recommended by government officials in the
future for children entering adolescence!
Obviously, the only real threat during infancy is if a child is born to an infected mother.
So, why not screen ALL pregnant women for the
disease and only give the vaccine to those infants
whose mothers actually test positive for Hepatitis
B? That policy would be a lot less expensive,
as well as a lot safer for the majority of babies
born in the United States.
Also what about the side effects associated
with adverse health outcomes in the general
population of US children?

he website Green Med Info has assembled
44 articles which together list 60 diseases

Among the problems the vaccination may

Autoimmune inflammatory polyneuropathy
Multiple sclerosis
Anaphylactic shock and death in infants
Chronic arthritis

YEAR OF THE HORSE
W
by Christopher Love
oah! So we got through the New Year,
looked back, looked forward, made
resolutions and it’s time to celebrate
the New Year again! Happy Chinese and Tibetan
New Year to you! This holiday, celebrated by
millions of people in our world, just occurred on
February 4th. Each year, the Chinese and Tibetan
calendars are marked by the energy of a particular
animal. For those of you who are up on this tradition, you know we just moved out of the year of
the Snake.
We are a melting pot of tradition in America,
and especially in the Eastern and Western coastal
areas. What we had in the pot last year was a
Snake. What do we get from the symbology of
snake? Snake can be philosophical, intuitive,
honorable, discreet, diplomatic and sexy. Can
you relate these attributes to snake? What are
the things to look out for or learn to overcome
about Snake? The negative qualities of Snake
can be represented as: judgmental attitude, selfULJKWHRXVQHVV SHVVLPLVP FXQQLQJ VHOÀVKQHVV
ÀFNOHQHVVDQGRVWHQWDWLRXVQHVV
Following this belief of assigning an animal
to represent the energy of a particular year gives
us the opportunity to look more closely at our human condition. We can, if we so desire, introspect
our lives using the qualities of the animal year to
learn about and better ourselves. Did you see the
characteristics of Snake at play in your life, or in
the world around you in 2013? Have you taken
the time to look at how these observations may
have meaning to you?
The Chinese Zodiac, most likely originating
during the Han Dynasty (206 BC to 220 AD) is
made of twelve animals, each with a respective
year, month, day and hour. Following this philosophy, people are born under the pervading energies
of a particular animal. It is said that the individuals
born in that animal’s year easily acquire the positive and negative traits of that animal. The positive
are to be reinforced and that the negative traits are
that which need to be transformed so as not to be
a detriment to one’s life. This allows for a deeper
meaning to be associated with the turning of the

the Horse? Let’s take a look, shall we?
First, lets inspect the symbology. Chinese
animals have very specific meanings and are
associated with certain elements. Horse in this
system is in the Fire Group and the element of
2014 is Wood. Wood assists Fire and so 2014
is being touted as a powerful year of activity. If
we were to think about Horse ourselves, without
hearing about long held beliefs about horse, we
may observe that horses are sleek and graceful in
their movements. Furthermore, the Horse out of
captivity is wild spirited, freely roaming and in
command of it’s path. Horses are great protectors
of their young; stallions will protect the entire herd
fearlessly against predators. Horses are considered
to be highly intelligent and psychic beings. I am
sure you have heard the colloquialism; “That
boy’s got horse sense.” Horses are independent,
self motivated activators and simultaneously work
well in large numbers.

associated with horse in Chinese Astrology to be:
strength, freedom, courage, action, intelligence,
elegance, prosperity, love, intimacy, passion,
loyalty and family. Perhaps these are qualities of
life that come easy for you. Maybe these are things
that you aspire to create or enhance in your life?
Looking with a deeper lens we discover the
challenging aspects of Horse. Can you imagine
what they may be? As a prey animal, horses can
be fearful. As independent movers, who are action

place. Horses like to make it happen now and do
not have a lot of patience. Although good in a herd,
their independent spirit may have them be short
and stressed in their relations with their herd mates.
Horses can be hot tempered and easily agitated.
These characteristics can be summed this
way: impatient, bossy, commanding, ungrounded,
initiating and never completing, not in control of
ones feelings or temperament, fearful of others or
the unknown. Have you witnessed these shadows
playing out in your life or in the lives of those around
you? This is the year to bring these characteristics
into the light for examination. With any luck, we
will transform them as we go. Our goal; becoming
clear of what we want most in our lives and what
does and does not work for us.

AwAreness: A FArm in Your Kitchen;
LittLe WAter needed!
T
by Joy Binah
hink of a farm that
grows the most nutrient dense food in
only ambient light, with
little water, no soil amendments, no pests and no toxic
residue from chem trails or
radiation and delivers in ten days… too good
to be true?
Sprouts and microgreens are a way to beat
the drought and become nutritionally independent by growing our food in the ease and privacy
of our own homes. Beautiful green sprouts need
only light and water to produce edible food in 10
days or less, 365 days a year. Through growing
our own sprouts and microgreens, we have access
to fresh, nutrient dense greens in the middle of
winter, wherever we live, even in Alaska.
After store bought vegetables have been
harvested, they go through packing and transportation. The temperature at which the produce
is being kept determines how fast it loses its
nutrients, and certainly how long it takes to get
from the farm to your refrigerator plays a major
role. This is especially true regarding perishable greens. Based on research, we come to find
out that the majority of the nutritional value in
shipped greens has been lost. Lettuce loses 50%
of its vitamin C 24 hours after harvest! Growing your own greens enables you to become the
farmer, and the lag time between harvest and
consumption is just minutes, not days. Sprouts
and microgreens are a true “living food” and
growing them is an endeavor worth the minimal
time and energy, and kids adore it!
Sprouts and microgreens are the phase
when a plant is at its peak nutritional state with
an abundance of enzymes, vitamins and minerals. As a side note, when choosing greens in the
market, the younger they are, the more nutrition
they have. Some examples are baby kale, baby
spinach and baby bok choy.
Moistening begins the transformational
germination process of seed to sprout, releasing
the enzymes which begin to multiply in anticipation of providing nourishment to a growing
plant. These increasing numbers of enzymes start
to pre-digest the stored nutrients. They convert
starches into simple sugars, proteins into simpler
amino acids and fats into fatty acids. Minerals
contained become chelated, chemically bound
to amino acids, so they are easily assimilated,
and the vitamin content increases exponentially!
An example of this increase is wheat: after four
days of sprouting its vitamin E content increases
300%.
The abundance of enzymes along with the
pre-digested nutrients enable the body to utilize
the nutrients faster and more efficiently. The
enzymes not only work to digest themselves, but
help the body digest other foods, as well.

So now we get to your part. Yes, my part
too. We have this opportunity to really take a
look at and complete the Year of the Snake and
embrace the Year of the Horse. Have you mastered
all the positive aspects of Snake? And have you
transformed all the challenging aspects Snake offers, or at least seen where they play out in your
life? If not, now is the time to put some finishing
touches on this work as we transition into a new
astrological cycle.
Now, with this work behind us, we can fully
embrace all the wonderful, as well as challenging,
aspects of this Wood Horse Year. Throughout the

The basic process of
sprouting is quite simple.
It begins with organic
seeds or beans (for example: broccoli, alfalfa,
red clover, leek, mustard,
radish and fennel seed and
beans, such as garbanzo,
red and green lentils, mung and green peas)
soaked overnight, drained in the morning and
then rinsed 3 times a day. This daily rinsing
continues until the sprout reaches the desired
length. This takes seeds 5 to 7 days and beans
2 to 3 days. Jars are kept in the dish drain (at an
angle to best drain), near the water supply and
out of direct sunlight so they don’t get heated up.
Measure seed:
I recommend you start with 3 Tablespoons
of seed in a quart mason jar and judge from there
what your needs are for future sprouting—for
beans: 1 cup for 2 cups sprouted.
Microgreens are a little more work, involving some additional steps that involve soil, but
are well worth the effort. When seeds are grown
in soil, what you are harvesting is the small baby
greens when they first begin to sprout.
I look at the process as an opportunity to
deepen and enrich my connection with the earth
and nature. Taking a few moments a week to put
your hands in soil and spread seed can be a very
satisfying experience, especially at harvest time!
In Microgreens — A Guide to Growing Nutrient
Packed Greens by Eric Franks and Jasmine Richardson, they describe the experience beautifully.
“Being part of something as fundamental as the
life cycle of a plant nourishes our spirit. We can
reconnect with our heritage and be stewards of
the soil on our one tray of microgreens. We can
slow down to the speed of the plants and enjoy
the subtle nuances of water, air, and sunlight
until we return again to the rhythms of our lives.”
Remember, sprouts and microgreens mature
in approximately ten days or less and need only
water and ambient light! How simple is that!

ave you ever wondered how Olympic
champions, Navy Seals or star performers of any arena, get such miraculous results? Superhuman achievement is not only due to
talent or skill, but is also made possible through:
(1) Setting clear intentions,
(2) Expecting the best, and
(3) Surrendering the results.
Intend with Clarity

focused precision, she visualizes her impending
performance, envisions a perfect take-off, and
imagines every turn on her way down the mountain. Meanwhile, her muscles follow the lead of
her thoughts, and rehearse the routine with minute
movements; body, mind and spirit form one point
of focus, and the gate to success opens.
In your life, whether you are to deliver
D VLJQLÀFDQW SUHVHQWDWLRQ FRPSOHWH DQ XUJHQW
project, or develop a creative solution, use The
Key of Clear Intention:
Imagine your intended result, with clarity
and excitement. Set your aim verbally, visually
and kinesthetically: make it real. State your plan
as a fact, in the present and as a positive outcome.

performance, eliminate any negative thought
by the root. Fill your internal landscape with
WKH SRZHU RI FRQÀGHQFH UDGLDWLQJ RXW OLNH WKH
sun, and burning away self-doubt. Unshakable
belief in yourself and your
skills, the unconditional “Yes! I will succeed each
and every time; I can do it!” instills rock-solid
reliance into every cell of your body, reaches the
deepest layers of your mind, and projects presence, competence and certainty.
Positive Self-expectancy is your second key
to greatness, and it will produce miracles for you,
every time you use it. If you are “blessed” with
an overactive inner critic, inform him or her that
time for self-analysis comes later, when reviewing
your time spent in “The Zone”.

seems to slow down, and her mind is as clear as
crystal. The zone of peak performance brings
surprising ease. Results happen quickly, precisely
and seemingly without effort.
After you set clear intentions and build a
ÀHOG RI FRQÀGHQFH LW LV WLPH WR XVH \RXU WKLUG
key: Surrender. Let go of the result. Don’t worry
about it! Your aim is in good hands, entrusted to
your greater self, delivered to the universal mind,
tapping the “Super-conscious” — choose your
favorite metaphor. No matter what you call this
amazing energy, it works.
As you set clear intentions, expect the best,
and release the results, peak performance is
yours. Like all great skills, entering the zone of
astounding accomplishment is learned, and gets
easier with practice. Yet, the payoff will amaze
you, beyond your wildest dreams!

D
by Dr. Bjorn Bostrom
o you ever feel like giving
up, or finding yourself
saying, “I’ll do it later”,
“It will go away eventually” or “I
just don’t have the time!”
I totally get it. Life gets busy,
and sometimes your body takes the
fall. Its easy for the stories of not
taking care of what’s most important to pile up fast! What you may
be leaving out, could actually save you a lot of
time, needless suffering right now, and many
years to come!

keep reading closely... because you may save
yourself or someone close to you, a truck load
of suffering and pain!
Many people around us don’t even know
how ‘not well’ they are because they’ve grown
accustomed to having various ailments and brain
fog that they’ve accepted as their ‘normal.’ Perhaps they were given a diagnosis, or told they’re
going to be like the rest of their family, so they
accept it. “Oh, this thing runs in my family, so
I’ll have it too.”
Can you relate? I invite you to honor the
power of your beliefs, your actions, your environment, and what you can do for your health today!
Your body-mind is designed to heal, change,
and grow! It’s 2014, and there is certainly a
better way!
When we raise our standard for our life,
and our health... we raise our standard for everything! We’re more connected to our purpose,
our passion, and our ability to give more to what
we love in life, and to those in need! Are you in

F A FRIEND or colleague
by Hanshi Rod Sanford
O’Sensei taught that in the
martial arts we not only teach
fighting skills, we also teach living
skills, that we teach our students
to become, “Artists of Life.” With
that he always warned us, “Be
careful what you think!” That the
life we are leading is a reflection
of our thinking. And so, in order
to change our life, we must change
our thinking.
O’Sensei would urge us
to think great thoughts and take
great actions. For in doing so, he
would tell us that we will enjoy
the rewards of success. This teaching brings to mind a quote from
Henry Ford, “Whether you think
you can or think you can’t, you
are right!”
O’Sensei and Henry Ford
are reminding use that our beliefs
and thoughts always influence our
reality. If you wish to change and
improve your results in life then
you must change and improve
what you think, what you say and
what you do.

American Hustle
With Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence
Entertainment: 3.5 Message: 2
oosely based on the real life 1978
American scandal, this fictional
story of crafty con man Irving Rosenfeld is a well-made comedic crime
drama. Amy Adams takes the loot
with her bedazzling, sizzling performance as Rosenfeld’s pseudo-British
partner “con artiste,” and the love story
between the two is curiously spicy.
Glamorous hairstyles and fashion are
fun to watch, as well as the characters
parading on screen. Yet, a well-done
movie with a sleazebag theme is still
about losers, and in the end you may
wonder what the big deal is, and why
you should care (2 hrs 18 min).

hat a treat to be let into the inner
circle of one of history’s most creative and inspiring people! The real life
story of Walt Disney, patiently working
with Australian born writer P.L. Travers
to make the classic movie Mary Poppins. Travers’ personality sets a new
high water mark for “difficult.” Fantastically acted by the great Tom Hanks as
Mr. Disney, who fought 20 long years to
obtain the rights to the film, juxtaposed
the spirited Emma Thompson as the
prissy author. If you had any doubt
about how demanding a woman she
was for her amazing 97 years, wait for
the recording of her actual voice at the
end of the film. In addition to walking
alongside Mr. Disney, the background
story to Mary Poppins is beautifully
woven into the fabric of this gorgeously
portrayed gem (1 hr 48 min).

function in their own lives. However,
watching these acting giants, with such
a strong supporting cast, will surely
move even those who don’t care for
the story. Thankfully, the family relationship dynamics are so perturbing,
their behavior often so outrageous
and infuriating, that the film also delivers comedic and hilarious moments,
perhaps “accidentally on purpose” to
lighten the load. We would have liked
even more of these moments to soften
the morose intensity of this pungent
tale (a long 2 hrs 10 min).

highly explicit sexual and drug related
content
n intense, hyper-realistic and diabolical portrait of what not to do.
Based on the true story of unbridled
and obsessive greed, and the titillating
lifestyle of former ex-billionaire Jordan
Belfort, played to haunting perfection
by Leo DiCaprio, who is in real life a
celebrated ethicist and environmentalist. So, the “Wolf” is all the more shocking with DiCaprio’s rather convincing
portrayal of a decadent, zero-ethics
CEO, absolutely driven to despicable
ends that are entirely justified by the
means. Not recommended moviegoing unless you’re puzzled about how
extreme greed and various addictions
can drive people to self-destructive and
outrageously immoral acts, such as
using and abusing massive amounts
of narcotics, extorting and flaunting
obscene wealth, hiring and degrading
hookers, and then … imperviously
taunting the FBI about all of it. Sound
like fun? Belfort’s inflated self-sense
mixes dangerously with the human
need for family and belonging (not
entirely unlike Organized Crime) in
director Martin Scorsese’s debaucherous, sensibility-impaired “race to the
bottom.” The net effect: some kind of
perverse, jaw-dropping morality play,
like watching a train wreck in slow
motion (3 hrs).

by Adora Deva
uring these busy times and times of
change, we really need to take good
care of ourselves. Andrew Weil, MD
says, “Health is wholeness and balance, an
inner resilience that allows you to meet the
demands of living without being overwhelmed.“
Some of the ways for feeling nourished are to
really take care of yourself, because if you don’t
who will? How do you take care of yourself?
Long walk? Meditate? Eat healthy meals? Go
out with a friend? Take a bath? Get a relaxing
massage? These are just a few of many wonderful ways that we can take care of ourselves to
re-claim and maintain our valuable health and
wellbeing.
When we are out of balance, this stress affects our mind and body in many ways that can
cause major damage to our health, mood, our
relationships, and our quality of life.
We may feel like the stress in our life is
out of your control, but we can work on ways
to control how we respond. Part of managing
stress is about taking charge of our thoughts, our
emotions, our schedules, environment, and the
way we deal with problems. We can choose to
change some of the stressful situation when we
can, and choose to change our reaction when we
can’t. Using Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique, I teach people how to change
their thoughts and reaction to stress and find
ways to learn to relax. Simply by changing the
way you think about things, the things you think
about change.
I usually add a Light session with a guided
visualization to help people really drop into to
a deep Theta brain wave to really get that deep
nourishing rest. In that deep space, people are
60 THINGS
THAT
open to receive suggestions
for the change they are looking for. At the cellular level,
the photons of light are transformed into energy
giving you a renewed sense of well being. This
kind of session provides stress relief very quickly
and is very nourishing.
During a transformational session, you can
begin to Experience Overall Well-Being while
you heal and transform yourself, clarify your life
vision and set reasonable strategies to achieve the
wellness you need to live a life of empowered
purpose. As you open to love, become inspired
and connect to your joy and passion for life, you
are able to recognize your own divinity and all
is possible.
Another part of managing stress and relaxing is about taking care of our body—“My Body
is my Best Friend” by Mellen Thomas. Wow!
When we choose to love our bodies and take care
of them like a good friend, it feels really nice!
When I make that time for rest and relaxation,
make time for a warm bath or a nurturing massage, I feel loved and appreciated.
During a loving bodywork session tailored
just for the client, I can combine Aromatherapy, Reiki, Polarity, Light Therapy, Raindrop
Therapy, Lomi Lomi, G5 Massage and Oxygen
Therapy for a blissful experience.
Schedule a “Gift of Light , “Gift of Relaxation” or Gift of Transformation session
today for you well-deserved nurturing and
rejuvenation.

CAN GO TERRIBLY WRONG
WITH
HEPATITIS B VACCINATION
Universal Hepatitis B vaccination might be
a good idea IF the vaccines were completely
safe and gave lifelong immunity—but, as the
CDC states, it’s currently not known how long
immunity lasts when children are vaccinated
at birth:
“Among vaccinated cohorts who initiated
Hepatitis B vaccination at birth, long-term followup studies are ongoing to determine the duration
of vaccine-induced immunity.”
So why are babies vaccinated at birth, if it’s
known the mother does not have hepatitis B?
The CDC states:
“ … because errors or delays in documenting, testing, and reporting maternal HBsAg
status can and do occur, administering the first
dose of Hepatitis B vaccine soon after birth to
all infants acts as a safety net, reducing the
risk for perinatal infection when maternal
HBsAg status is either unknown or incorrectly documented at delivery.
Also, initiating the Hepatitis B vaccine
series at birth has been shown to increase a
child’s likelihood of completing the vaccine
series on schedule.
In other words, if you’re pregnant and have
tested negative for Hepatitis B, it’s advised that
you vaccinate your baby anyway, just in case the
test was wrong—and, because the CDC believes
you’re more likely to adhere to their dictated
schedule if you start early, just hours after birth.
It is important to be tested for Hepatitis
B if you’re pregnant, as it’s possible to have
a chronic infection with no symptoms and not
know it.
However, if you use the CDC’s logic that
you can’t trust the test results anyway, this
obviously important preventive step would be
rendered pointless!
But again, most babies are at very low risk
of Hepatitis B in the first place, so the question
to ask is does the vaccine’s benefit outweigh its
risks? It’s worth noting as well that, as adults,
most people infected with Hepatitis B don’t
require hospital care and the majority recover
without complications and are left with natural,
lifelong immunity.

Guillain-Barre syndrome; Rheumatoid arthritis; Convulsions and brain disorders
such as encephalitis (brain swelling) and brain
demyelination; Pancreatitis; Bell’s Palsy; Lupus;
Immune dysfunction; and Autism spectrum
disorders.
A study published September 2009 in
Annals of Epidemiology also found that giving
Hepatitis B vaccine to infant boys more than
tripled their risk for an autism spectrum disorder.
This was doubly concerning because an earlier
study by the same researcher group, using a
different database, found the same results.
There are more reports of serious adverse
reactions in children than there are cases of
childhood Hepatitis B reported in the United
States! From 1990 to 2002, there were a total of
just 13,829 cases of acute Hepatitis B reported
among children aged 19 and younger, and as
the CDC stated:
“The incidence among adolescents aged
15-19 years was consistently higher than the
incidence among younger age groups.”
Which begs the question, why are babies
being vaccinated for this disease?
Why is the Hepatitis B Vaccine Recommended?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects your liver, and spreads the same way as
AIDS—through direct contact with the body fluids
(particularly blood and semen) of an infected
person. There are two primary circumstances
in which your baby would be at significant risk
for contracting Hepatitis B and both are quite
rare in the U.S.:
If you are pregnant and are a carrier for the
Hepatitis B virus, your baby could be at risk for
being infected during childbirth. However, you
can easily find out if you are Hepatitis B positive
by getting tested while pregnant.
Your infant could be at risk for Hepatitis B
infection by receiving a blood transfusion using
Hepatitis B infected blood. In America, all blood
products are required to receive proper screening for Hepatitis B virus and other pathogens
prior to use. There is no way to achieve 100
percent safety with blood transfusions, however.

The Music of the Spheres:
Astrological Insights by Susan Heinz
F
Astrology for February 2014
ebruary gallops in with the energy
of the Horse as the Chinese New
Year of the Horse begins on the
30th. The planet Mars nears the Earth
and heats up life. Clear intention becomes the rudder for your ship through
the fast paced quality of this year. Set
things in order and take an action to
move yourself toward your desired
destination. Procrastination becomes
missed opportunities! Don’t worry about
outcomes now, perseverance furthers.
March 1st is the time to slow down and
take stock of where you are. With Mars
going retrograde, probe into any missed
realizations, correct your direction, and
reevaluate effectiveness.
The new moon on the 30th of January begins a monthly cycle that asks us
to step back from strong emotion and
step into a state of inquiry, “Oh wow, I
see this is taking place in my thoughts,
feelings, and relationship interactions.”
This Moon, aligning with inventive Uranus in Aries, instructs us to look for new
possibilities. We balance at the edge of
beginnings, while a deeply felt sense of
old issues hover. Compassion and healing are available as we stitch together
a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Mercury goes retrograde on the
6th, (until the early morning of the 28th)
in Pisces, touching our deep feelings.
Be patient with a slowing of schedules,
reversals in appointments, and technical delays. Mercury retrograde attunes
us to the circular wholeness in which
we live, taking us away from the linear
trajectories that hurl us forward. It calls
us to attune to the inner world, to perceive more deeply what is around and
within us, and refine our
communications.
The lovers’ day,
February 14th, is graced
with a full Leo Moon.
Mark this Friday, (Venus’s day) to play, dance,
express yourselves, do
what you love and build
up the love reservoir to
support your journey
through the intensity of
this year.
The New Moon in
Pisces, takes place on
the 28 th of February.
Seed a dream this day.
Listen to music. Be with
those you love and find
your kindred souls. Jupiter squares Uranus now,
exciting us to try new
things, enter new areas
of life, and be inventive.
Our task continually this
year, will be to know
and keep our center, be
balanced in body, mind,
emotion, and spirit, and
stay grounded. Our consciousness is the bridge

Twelve opportunities for February: For Sun and Rising Signs
Aries (Mar 20-Apr 19): This is a
concentrated time for you, Aries. You
are in a balancing act, in all areas of
life. New beginnings are called for, as
well as breaking out of old ways of doing
relationship. Connect with friends and
those who love you to support these
transitions. Nurture yourself on silence
and honor your vulnerability and inner
life. Listen to your dreams for clarity.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): What
have you taken up in the last two
months that inspires you and gives
meaning to your life? Something
of great value is emerging. You are
carving out a new identity, embodying
more of who you are. Continue to clear
your space and create a harmonious
environment. Focus on your health
and understanding of your own body.
Creative endeavors and group dynamics are favored.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20): This is
an excellent time to attune to what you
love. Writing and communication, as
well as any form of self-expression is
favored. Let a flow of expression stream
out, and then go back into it, especially
after the 6th, when Mercury retrogrades.
It is then timely to fine tune details, and
edit. Love and pleasure is highlighted,
as well as work with children.
Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 21): February
begins with strong relationship issues.
Some Cancers may feel moved by
love, some may witness their partners
struggling with change, and some, experience the need to change the way
many relationships have been. No matter where you are on that continuum, a
part of you is longing for deeper contact.
It is an excellent time to communicate
directly what your needs and desires
are, with no blame.
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 22): This month,
celebrate the one you love! Enjoy!
You’ve been through a testing time.
Change your point of view, learn
something new, and free yourself from
old belief systems. Envision new plans
in business partnerships. Be bold and
direct in your leadership. Soon doors
will open for you.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): Going with
the flow is not the easiest thing for you,
Virgo. Now you are being asked to flow
with those who are special to you. At the
same time you must balance this with
your own needs. Then you act from a
place of strength and confidence. You
will be deepening that confidence. Now
is a good time to share your talents.
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22): Issues at
home and family have come to a point
of resolution. You are in a process of
finding the right balance between work
and enjoyment. Having clear intentions
is important now. Taking actions toward
what you want to manifest is supported.
Though situations may be new, you are
in a position of making a very favorable
public impact.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21): You
aren’t as involved publicly as you have
been. Instead you find yourself in your
own space, or active with creative processes, or in a deep and sweet love
affair. This is an important time for you.
Inward reflection and domestic attention
is supported with positive benefits. A
greater sense of love and creativity is
coming your way as you become more
focused.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 20): This
is an interesting time for you. You become more aware of how you collaborate with others, or trigger them. You
are experiencing more financial support
from others, from clients, and business
in general. It can be an exciting time of
breaking through, and liberating your
expression in some way. Focus on
clear intentions with an evolving vision
for your life.
Capricorn (Dec 21- Jan 19):
January has been a month of attuning
to what is deeply valuable to you, of
reviewing, and changing dynamics in relationship. Imagine what would support
more security and stability in your life.
Taking action toward your goals is highly
favorable, especially career goals. It is
an excellent time to examine what you
tell yourself about your abilities, money,
and your self worth. Sort out what is
helpful and what isn’t. Positive improvement is coming your way.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 17): Celebrate yourself Aquarius! Give yourself
time at the first of the month to create
and bring forward your insights and
ideas! Traveling is on your mind since
December. Time to move forward with
something you want to learn. You are
experiencing both a very exciting time,
and a vulnerability that you feel deeply.
Situations have presented unexpected
challenges to your free expression.
Some experience this as a time of discipline, or mastering a craft. Slow is good.
Pisces (Feb 18-Mar 19): Enjoy
the love you feel! Bring out the artist
in yourself. Engaging your imaginative
and creative powers now is deeply
satisfying and very soul nourishing. For
some, you may feel overwhelmed with

Deeply loving, we are true kin.
Committed hearts speak emotional, mental,
physical and spiritual support,
Inspiring fullness, joy, compassion, humor
and conscious communication.
We give, take and live in harmony,
Are sensually natural, compatible lovers,
Who love unconditionally when challenged.
We enliven each other,
Cultivate a life dance of abundant wealth,
both material and spiritual.
Our gifts shine brighter for being together.
Healers, shaman, priests,
We share values as we work, play,
act and project dreams in accord.
Passionate about expanding love,
We live our integrity.
In trust, we kiss wholeheartedly,
Soul-mirrored eyes innocently connected
as we surrender to our Divinity.

Summary of the CALIFORNIA CANNABIS HEMP INITIATIVE 2014:
AN INITIATIVE of THE PEOPLE
of CALIFORNIA to END HEMP
PROHIBITION in THE STATE of
CALIFORNIA
egalizes cannabis hemp. Creates
and funds new cannabis hemp
based industries and jobs.
Permits the use of marijuana by
adults 21 and older and licenses, regulates, enforces, and taxes recreational
marijuana sales just like beer and wine.
Requires that 50% of excise taxes
collected from sales of recreational
cannabis be made available to be used
for the development, promotion, and
assistance in the creation of industrial,
nutritional, and medicinal cannabis
hemp industries.
Prohibits any and all taxation of
medicinal cannabis, and expands the
accessibility of medicinal cannabis
used in accordance with Proposition
215.
Prohibits cities and counties from
imposing discriminatory, excessive, or
prohibitive zoning requirements and
fees on cannabis outlets.
L
Allows farmers to grow industrial
hemp and hemp seed, and allows industries and entrepreneurs to use the
crop for the many uses and applications
that hemp provides, both historically
and modern.
Restricts the use in California of
genetically modified Cannabis seeds.
Eliminates the unfair practice of
drug testing for Cannabis metabolites,
which can be retained in the human
body for months. Impairment testing
for non-metabolized cannabis, a more
effective and accurate measurement
for impairment or recent usage, would
replace the metabolite test.
Mandates that the state establish
performance based standards, similar
to those established for alcohol, to
determine levels of impairment for safe
operation of motor vehicles and other
equipment.
Allows for the release and discharge of people currently being
punished for non –violent marijuana
offenses, saving taxpayers millions
of dollars annually and freeing up
jail space, judicial and crime fighting
resources.
Removes Cannabis from the California Uniform Controlled Substances
Act, which currently allows the Federal
Government to Regulate Cannabis as
a Schedule I drug.
Prohibits California Law enforcement from assisting Federal Drug
agents attempting to enforce federal
laws that are no longer illegal by reason
of this legislation.
Allows for personal use and possession of Cannabis grown for personal
consumption.
Caps the excise tax for commercial sales at 10% of retail price. Caps
the license fees for commercial production, distribution, and sales at $1000.
Allows a physician to approve or
recommend medicinal cannabis without
fear of repercussion to all patients,
regardless of age.

Dr. Mercola’s Comments on Hepatitis B Vaccines:
There is no vaccine that gets me
more upset than Hepatitis B. There are
two primary reasons for this. It is given
to virtually every newborn in the hospital and many times without parents’
consent shortly after the child is born.
If the parent chooses not to have their
12-hour-old newborn vaccinated in the
newborn nursery, it takes enormous
effort on the parent’s part to make
sure this vaccine is not given without
their informed consent before the baby
leaves the hospital.
Secondly, this vaccine given on
the day of birth is the least justifiable of any vaccine that I can think
of. A child can ONLY get the disease
from IV drug abuse, sexual activity with
an infected partner, a blood transfusion using contaminated blood, OR
from the mother.
There are few or no detectable
antibodies in the blood of most children
within 7-10 years after they are vaccinated so booster shots will probably
be recommended by government of-

It’s Your Right to Ask Questions
About Vaccinations
You have every right to not only
ask questions about vaccine safety,
but also to decide which vaccinations
you would like to receive or decline for
yourself and your children. In the case
of the hepatitis B vaccine, if you’re giving birth in a hospital, you can let your
nurses, obstetrician and pediatrician
know whether or not you consent to
having your baby vaccinated.
It’s your choice!
There are reports that some
newborns are being vaccinated in the
newborn nursery against the parents’
wishes, however, so if you decide to
opt out of the vaccine, it is a good idea
to keep your newborn with you at all
times, or have a family member stay
with the baby, while in the hospital.
Remember that it’s up to you
to get informed about every medical
procedure being given to your baby,
and vaccinations are no exception.
I encourage you to ask these eight
in California in 1996 began to squeeze
pot profits, though. Colorado went medical in 2000. And as prohibition ebbs
and the risk of prosecution lessens, so
will the price of pot, researchers say.
“The cost of production of marijuana
has been reduced dramatically,” Tvert
said. “Right now marijuana is being sold
medically for $25 per eighth or $150
per ounce.”
That’s down from late-1990s highs
of $60 per eighth-ounce and $360 for
an ounce.
On January 1, 3D Cannabis Center in Denver was selling eighth-ounces
for $48, but that price included a 21.22
percent tax.
“And that’s going to go down as
their overhead goes down. Right now
they have to pay for all sorts of compliance and licensing fees,” Tvert said.
“Competition will also pick up.”
Indeed, Ashley Kilroy, the marijuana policy director of the City and
County of Denver, said Denver had
eighteen stores open on New Year’s
Day and dozens more will open in the
coming weeks.
Even if legal weed is pricier than
expected because of taxes, people will
willingly pay for convenience. “If you are
going to get marijuana today after work,
are you going to want to call around to
see where you can score some illegal
marijuana, or are you going to stop at
the store and pay ten dollars more?”
asked Tvert. “A person is going to go
with the latter road.
