Awaken Children! is one
of Amma’s most beautiful
books, written with the
intent of influencing as
many people as possible to
see life differently – from
the viewpoint of service,
with open hearts. When we
assist others or the planet,
we feel love – the love that
we truly are…then our life
experience deepens and
becomes more meaningful.
The Embracing the World
DVD is updated each year,
providing a broad spectrum
look at the vast number
of charitable projects that
Amma’s organizations have
completed or are in process.
If you have never been
embraced by the “Hugging
Saint”, don’t miss your
opportunity this year. It’s an
experience you won’t soon
forget. For those who have
had the experience, each one
provides an opportunity to
open your heart a bit more.

An Integrative Approach to
Treating Allergies
By Hollye Kozlowski
I
t’s back! Allergy season is here; everyone is feeling it. Runny
nose, itchy, watery eyes, stuffy head….Miserable. Many
resort to over the counter drugs or pharmaceutical relief out
of sheer desperation. (I know – I did too.) I had lived in New
Mexico for over 10 years when, out of the blue, I began having
severe allergies. For almost 18 months, I was either sick, getting
over being sick, or starting to get sick again: all from allergies. My
family medical doctor had me on a horse sized pill of Allegra® that
I had to take at night because it would completely knock me out.
My symptoms were similar to bronchitis. When left on a trip to
Houston, I was fully sick. When I got off the plane in Houston,
and all my symptoms had magically disappeared! Allergies!
When I got home, I decided to try something “alternative”,
because “traditional” methods weren’t helping. I went to my
acupuncturist, who began a series of treatments that brought me
a lot of relief.
Now, I manage my allergies with lemongrass and lavender oil
on the bottoms of my feet every morning and before bed. Easy,
right? Yes! Getting to the place where such a simple method keeps
my body in check was a process. At Creative Therapy Services
we address the root of what is causing a patient’s symptoms.
Our dietitian can help with simple, but effective, changes that
will boost your immune system and heal your GI tract so it can
function more productively. Our acupuncturist can offer insight
into the use of herbs and an acupuncture protocol to support
your body in healing and becoming strong. Our Wholistic
Kinesiologist can help you find out just what is happening
inside you, and what your body wants to fix it. And don’t forget
essential oils! We carry the doTERRA® brand, the absolute best
on the market with a CPTG rating (certified pure therapeutic
grade). You don’t have to suffer, or stay indoors. Come let us help
you find a healthy, holistic approach that considers your whole
body…what we like to call The Wholistic Approach.
Creative Therapy Services (CTS) offers a wide variety of practitioners who use a team approach for healing. Services offered
include: occupational, physical and speech therapy, dietitian/
integrated nutrition, acupuncture, wholistic kinesiology, and massage therapy. CTS treats all ages, infants to adults. We provide
specialized pediatric services, pediatric orthopedic, and adult
orthopedic services, as well as “Wholistic” Health Solutions, or
family practice care. We treat the “whole” problem, and focus on
the treatments that resonate with our patients, to achieve health
and wellness for each individual.
Hollye Kozlowski is an occupational therapist and the primary
owner of Creative Therapy Services. Although her formal training is
in a western medicine field, Hollye has pursued eastern and alternative styles of healthcare in her personal life. As a professional, she
has spent the past 8 years merging a variety of treatment methods
and disciplines in order to create a more integrative practice style
that is focused on going beyond the treatment of symptoms to heal
the “root” causes of disability, injury, and disease.

Do you suffer from cystic breasts and
ovaries, migraines, depression, fatigue, low
libido, weight problems?
World Wellness Center
You Have Low Progesterone Levels
www.truenw.com | 505.299.1771
Low progesterone levels are at the root
cause of many women’s health symptoms,
including thyroid dysfunction and weight
gain, difficult or painful periods, fatigue,
migraines, insomnia, anxiety, low mood,
low libido, and much more. If you are
woman of any age and you are having any
of these issues, you have low progesterone
levels. If you’ve had a hysterectomy, even a
“partial” hysterectomy, you can count on it.
You Have High Estrogen Levels
Yes, low estrogen levels can cause hot
flashes and night sweats. This is well
known. What’s NOT well known is the fact
that most women are running around with
HIGH estrogen levels. High estrogen levels are a serious but commonly overlooked
health problem that can lead to fibrocystic
ovaries (PCOS), fibrocystic breasts, and endometriosis, and if left unchecked can lead
to breast or ovarian cancer. (BTW, if you
tend to over-nurture others and under-nurture yourself, estrogen levels will also rise
over time. Is this you?)

To make matters worse, blood tests for
hormones and thyroid function are often
inaccurate, leading many women to believe
that “all is well” when in fact it is not.
Don’t Compound the Problem
Ironically, the women who use
compounded prescription hormones are
the women who often end up with the
most unbalanced hormone profiles. Why?
That’s because the formula often does not
address high estrogen and testosterone
levels, and is often based on inaccurate
hormone blood levels.
Using prescription hormones like
Premarin, Estrace, Provera, Vivelle, or
any oral birth control pill can absolutely
wreak havoc on your natural, sensitive
progesterone and estrogen balance, and
ultimately make things worse rather than
better. What’s a woman to do? Get checked
and balanced naturally!

Are Mercury Fillings Finally
Going Away?
By Karen Larré, Truly Alive Publisher
From a posting on the Consumers for Dental Choice website,
4/5/11, the following except was taken:
U.S. government calls for the phase-out of amalgam!
In an extraordinary development that will change the
global debate about amalgam, the United States government
has announced that it supports a “phase down, with the goal
of eventual phase out by all parties, of mercury amalgam.”
This statement – a radical reversal of its former position...is
part of the U.S. government’s submission for the upcoming
third round of negotiations for the world mercury treaty.*
While couched in diplomatic hedging (remember it is still
early in the negotiations), this new U.S. position makes three
significant breakthroughs for the mercury-free dentistry
movement:
The U.S. calls for the phase-out of amalgam ultimately and
recommends actions to “phase down” its use immediately.
Incredibly, the government adopted three actions that the
World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry and Consumers
for Dental Choice proposed at the negotiating session in
Chiba, Japan. Our key ally, The Mercury Policy Project,
laid the groundwork for this success at a World Health
Organization meeting in 2009!
The U.S. speaks up for protecting children and the unborn
from amalgam, recommending that the nations “educate
patients and parents in order to protect children and fetuses.”
The U.S. stands up for the human right of every patient
and parent to make educated decisions about amalgam.
What does this mean? Our position – advocating the
phase-out of amalgam – is now the mainstream, because the
U.S. government supports it. Who is the outlier now? It’s
the pro-mercury faction, represented by the World Dental
Federation and the American Dental Association. With
the U.S. continuing its leadership role in this treaty, we will
broadcast the U.S. position to other governments around the
world, encouraging them to support amalgam “phase downs”
leading to phase-outs not only globally, but within each of their
countries.
We applaud the U.S. government, but tough work lies
ahead. For example, we must demonstrate to the world
that the available alternatives – such as composites and the
adhesive materials used in mercury-free restorations – can be
economically effective and will increase access to dental care,
particularly in developing countries.
For now though, let’s mark this watershed in the mercuryfree dentistry movement. The debate has shifted from
“whether to end amalgam” to “how to end amalgam.”
Charles G. Brown,
National Counsel, Consumers for Dental Choice
President, World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry
The full text of the U.S. submission is available at:
http://www.unep.org/hazardoussubstances/Portals/9/Mercury/Documents/INC3/United%20States.pdf
What is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature and
vaporizes very easily at body temperature? What metal is the
second most bio-incompatible, naturally occurring element on
earth? What metal comprises approximately 50% of the “silver”
fillings in your mouth? The answer is..MERCURY.
Mercury before it is placed into the mouth is a hazardous toxin
in the environment. The scrap amalgam which is removed from
the mouth cannot be thrown away in the trash, or the dentist
is subject to a $10,000 fine by the Environmental Protection
Agency! Instead, the scrap is considered a toxic waste and must
be removed by a hazardous waste company.
Publisher’s notation: Those of us who have been aware of the
dangers of amalgam (mercury) fillings have understood the
urgency of stopping the placement of them in anyone’s mouth, but
most especially vulnerable populations such as pregnant women,
children, the elderly and the immuno-suppressed, for a long time.
We are heartened by the U.S. government’s shift in position from
support of the amalgam-producing industry and the unenlightened
dental associations, to one of protection of the dental consumer.

E
ver catch yourself saying this is too good to be true,
and wondering what the catch is? What if it isn’t
too good to be true and there isn’t a catch? What
if our divine birthright is to experience more good
than we can even imagine, but we stand in our own way of
receiving it? Our culture and collective experience has told
us that there is only so much good out there in the universe,
and we shouldn’t expect too much. In fact, because there is
not enough good to go around we must not be too greedy
in expecting or wanting too much of it for ourselves because
we are then depriving someone else of their good.
The funny thing is that mystical traditions throughout
the ages have taught that there is no limit to the good in the
universe, and our accepting our part of it doesn’t diminish
it, or take it away from anyone else. There is enough love,
peace, wisdom, and resources for everyone to experience
their good. So why then do we stand in the flow of the river
of good and have a limited experience?
Part of the answer can be seen in all of the stories we
repeat about how “so and so won the lottery and then things
went really wrong,” which is known as the curse of the
lottery, for example. I have heard people wax poetic about
how they would never want to win the lottery because it
would be too much for them to handle; they would surely
sabotage themselves; all anyone would ever want them for
is their money; because they didn’t “earn” it, they wouldn’t
feel right with that much good. Ultimately these stories tell
us what we think would happen to us if we truly stepped
into the flow of the good, namely that things would be
too good, we wouldn’t know how to deal with them and
ultimately we would end up worse off. No wonder we
distrust our good, because ultimately we distrust ourselves
and get in our own way of receiving it. Fundamentally we
don’t think we are worthy of the good that is trying to show
up in our lives and therefore we block it - both consciously
or unconsciously at every moment. Occasionally we dip our
toes in the flow of the river of good, but pull back quickly
as soon as we begin to feel the current of love, peace, joy,
and harmony pulling us, because it feels like more good
than we can handle.
The truth is that we can handle as much good as we are
willing to accept, embrace and become. The universe isn’t
holding our good away from us; we are the ones creating
the distance. Whatever good we are seeking is also seeking
us, be it fabulous, harmonious relationships, fulfi lling work
life, unlimited prosperity, or a deeper connection to our
Spiritual Truth, and when we get out of our own way, we
open to an inflowing of all the good that the universe has
been waiting for us to reach out and accept.
By hoping for the best, and preparing for it, we can
unlearn the lessons we have been taught to always hope
for the best but at the same time prepare for the worst.
Join me for the How Much is Too Much Good Workshop,
on Saturday, May 7th at 9am. You will learn about the
hidden beliefs that are blocking the good we are seeking
from coming into our lives, and how to step confidently
into the flow of good in order to experience a life that is
fi lled with more peace, beauty, joy, and bliss than you ever

WELCOME!
By Rev. Jac Blackman
n Sunday, May 29th, we will present a special
service by the youth who will provide song, dance,
and sharing of their visions for our world. We have
called it Youthtastic Sunday, and it is an annual event with
our center to give our youth an opportunity to show their
magnificence and remind us who we are.
We teach our youth the universal spiritual principles of selfrespect, unconditional love, and reverence for self and others.
We teach them of a Loving God, Spirit, and Presence that loves
them unconditionally and wants only the best for them. They
have the opportunity each Sunday to share what they have
learned. They learn to be free of self-criticism since we believe
that criticizing the self is criticizing God since Omnipresence
means God is everywhere, everything, and everyone. They also
learn about self-responsibility and the law of Cause and Effect,
so they can understand at an early age that their thoughts,
feelings, and beliefs tend to attract to them what they are
holding in the privacy of their own minds. Too many of us
have grown up as Victims, not recognizing the spiritual power
we have to use for ourselves and others. It is important that
we as adults/parents/spiritual leaders not only teach them the
key spiritual examples, but that we are also demonstrating the
principles by our thoughts, words, and actions.
Our youth are the most precious asset we have on this
planet for they are the leaders of tomorrow and even of today
in many ways. They represent a great example to us as adults
to remind us of the joy, excitement, lovingness, openness,
friendships, directness of being and so many more wonderful
traits we need to keep alive within ourselves.
Let’s be committed spiritual examples to our Magnificent Youth –
the world deserves the best! High Desert Center for Spiritual Living,

Frozen Shoulder
By Victoria L Magown
As
we continue our discussion of different pathologies
that have a Myofascial component, we investigate
Frozen Shoulder. Frozen Shoulder can be
mysterious, as when it happens without warning. You wake
one morning with a Frozen Shoulder and have no idea how it
happened.
Other times, you know exactly how you developed a Frozen
Shoulder. You fell on your shoulder and it was so painful that
you did not move it for a couple of days or sleep on it. Then
one morning when starting to blow-dry your hair, you could
not lift your arm at all.
Frozen Shoulder is defined as being unable to abduct (lift)
your arm to 90° (shoulder level) or above. It is painfully
restricted, painful to move in almost any direction and you
cannot lie on it without pain.
The mysterious Frozen
Shoulder is usually due
to postural distortions.
Of course, you have no
idea that you are doing it
to yourself. Most people
assume certain postures
when they are sitting
watching TV, reading or
working at the computer.
You start to get tired using the mouse with your
right hand, so you lean
to the left on your elbow pushing your left shoulder up to
your ear. All the muscles and fascia around your left shoulder
shorten and brace to hold that position. After a while, if you
do this for years, these muscles just stay in a shorten position
all the time.
How about those of you who put objects under your
armpit? You know what I mean. The baseball players put their
mitt under their left armpit during a break. The nurses at the
hospital put the patient’s charts under their armpit so they can
write or make a phone call. The muscles that hold the object
under the armpit are the ones illustrated.
All three muscles become permanently shortened with
Trigger Points and you can no longer lift your arm above
shoulder level. Subscapularis, Latissimus Dorsi and Pectoralis
Major, all internally rotate and adduct the humerus (pull the
arm toward the body) which then makes it impossible to lift
the arm above shoulder level.
One of the primary muscles involved in Frozen Shoulder
is the subscapularis (illustration A). This muscle is located on
the front of the shoulder blade (scapula) between the shoulder
blade and the ribs of the back. Its function is to internally
rotate the shoulder (rounded shoulders) and pull the shoulder
and arm toward the body (adduction). When trigger points
cause muscle contraction in the subscapularis, one is unable to
lift the shoulder and arm.
The teres major (illustration B) most nearly matches the
functions of the subscapularis. The latissimus dorsi and
pectoralis major (illustration B and C, respectively) also
mimic these muscles in that they internally rotate and adduct
the shoulder and arm, as well. When the subscapularis causes
restriction in the shoulder, these other muscles are most likely
to be involved also.
If you have trauma by falling on the shoulder, these same
muscles, along with
others, are the culprits
in the painful restriction
of your shoulder. A more
common injury is when
you fall and put your
hand out to break the
fall. Landing on your
hand jams the elbow
and shoulder leading to
restriction, as well.
At MyoRehab, we
do a thorough History
Intake and want to know all about how you fell or how you
sit at the computer. Then we have a better understanding of
what muscles need to be treated, as well as guide you with
suggestions to improve your posture ergonomics while
sleeping, sitting or working at the computer.
All our Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapists have been
trained not only in Integrated Manual Trigger Point Therapy
– treating the fascia, muscles and joints – but they also have
training in the use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent and
the MicroLight 830 Cold Laser. These can be used separately
or in conjunction with the manual therapy to decrease
inflammation and swelling.

and Dysfunction, visit us on our website: www.myorehab.net.

Be Allergy Free With
Allergy Drops Therapy™
By Sunil Pai, MD – Integrative Medicine
Allergy Drops Therapy™ is a novel program method for the
treatment of both inhalant (environmental) and food allergies.
The Allergy Drops Therapy™ program includes an Integrative
Medicine allergy consultation with Sunil Pai, MD to address a
comprehensive holistic approach to the evaluation and natural
treatment options for allergies. A customized program including
allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy) based on a simple blood
test is prescribed as a safe, effective and simple way to treat those
with seasonal, environmental and more complex allergies such as
mold and food allergies.
Do you suffer from the following? Irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS), Crohns/Ulcerative colitis, asthma, chronic bronchitis,
chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, muscle aches,
joint pain, mood disorders (depression/anxiety), memory difficulties, autism and spectrum disorders, ADHD as well as skin rashes,
eczema or acne? If so, you may have FOOD ALLERGIES. In our
practice, we see a high correlation (>90%) of food allergies in those
conditions listed above. Many of you might be allergic to wheat,
milk, eggs, soy, corn, peanuts and other foods. For relief of food
allergy symptoms you may take pain medications, antidepressants
or stimulants as well as antacids or digestive enzymes.

Prescription medications or natural therapies for both
inhalant and foods allergies only mask and treat the SYMPTOMS
but not the CAUSE of the allergies. They can also have unpleasant
side effects!
What are ALLERGY DROPS?
Allergy Drops (aka: Sublingual Immunotherapy) work to
slowly desensitize you to the substances that cause your allergic
reactions. By doing so, your immune system becomes stronger and
builds up tolerance to what it doesn’t like. Instead of getting painful
weekly shots or taking allergy medications for the rest of your life,
you simply administer one metered dose drop under your tongue
three times a day. Allergy Drops are easy to carry and don’t need
refrigeration. Allergy Drops are tasteless, painless and convenient.
They are a safe and effective permanent solution that treats the
cause and not just the symptoms of your allergies.
Within 6 weeks, you will start to notice improvements in your
allergies and eventually you will not need to use medications, or
even natural alternatives. Once therapy is finished you won’t even
have to take the allergy drops!
How do you know what I am allergic to?
Individualized treatment is based on a simple blood test
(RAST), which accurately identifies what you are specifically allergic to. This is more accurate than the standard skin prick testing
and you don’t have to stop your medications or supplements prior
to testing. It also calculates your sensitivity to each allergen that is
tested and distinguishes between your inhalants and your immediate and delayed food allergies. We have a specialized panel of inhalants and test 34 environmental agents (that cross react with over
200 allergens) along with 15 of the most common immediate foods
plus 184 delayed foods. Don’t settle for muscle testing, machines or
the conventional skin prick testing. RAST testing is the gold standard in testing immune and allergic responses and we use the same
lab that Harvard uses for allergy testing. With your specific results,
the allergy drops (sublingual antigens) are custom made for you.
Are other natural, safe and effective allergy
treatments options available?
Bosmeric-SR (www.bosmeric-sr.com) the strongest natural
anti-inflammatory formulated by Dr. Pai provides excellent pain
and inflammation support. Clinically tested Bosmeric-SR has been
shown to help control inflammation caused by allergy symptoms
without side effects or drowsiness. Bosmeric-SR can be used with
or without the allergy drops.
Care Credit Financing is Now Available!
Sunil Pai, MD is Albuquerque’s most experienced and knowledgeable
Integrative Medicine MD specializing in inhalant and food allergies
for both adults and children. Allergy Drops are available only at
Sanjevani Integrative Medicine Health & Lifestyle Center. Call for

CHANGE!
By Kim McNulty
Do You Believe All Change Happens for the Better?
Do you Believe You can Change Your Experience of Change?
ore than likely, you have experienced a significant
change in your life within the last year – the loss of
a loved one, loss of employment, financial loss, loss
of a relationship, or health issues. Perhaps you’ve begun a new
job, new relationship, had a child, or purchased a new home.
How did these changes affect you? Did they lead to crisis, stress,
hopelessness, uneasiness, or uncertainty? Would you like to
change your experience of “Change” so that you no longer feel
change is “happening” to you, but rather, you are creating the
changes in your life? Change does not have to lead to feelings of
despair or uncertainty.

How Can MRFH Solutions
Benefit You?
By Christopher Hall, CWK, IOA
We
have had an amazing response from my last
article on our new Macronutrient Resonance
Frequency Harmonic – MRFH solutions, yet
there are still many questions clients and practitioners have
that need to be answered. Let’s start with some basics...
Are the MRFH Solutions effective and can they help
you? MRFH Solutions have completely changed how we
practice. Results can be seen very quickly and are measurable
on lab tests within the first 30 days. For example, we have a
client’s lab test showing LDL Cholesterol at 183 decreasing to
130 in just 1 month. MRFH Solutions could be exactly what
you are looking for!
The MRFH Solution contains between 1-4 ounces of
fluid. How does that compare to an (500-1,000ml) IV solution? The answer is simple…we have concentrated the vitamins
and minerals in the MRFH Solution to a very high degree.
Vitamins and minerals are highly diluted before they are given
through an IV, so we just leave out the excess water. We are also
amplifying the vibrational rate of the molecules using high frequency vibrations/sound and Rife frequencies, which can’t be
done through an IV. So it’s like three therapies in one.

How much of the solution does a person take? Each person
will need to take a different amount, however a full bottle is
equal to one IV in potency, so your Doctor or Practitioner will
direct you on how much to drink each day.
Do the MRFH Solutions help with major illnesses? The
MRFH Solutions are not a treatment, cure or preventative
agent for any disease; however neither are Vitamin/Mineral IV
therapies. MRFH Solutions are intended to get highly energized
nutrients into your cells, which in turn causes them to function
in a much greater capacity. MRFH Solutions help to restore lost
nutrients that the immune system needs to function normally.
Do I have to go to your office to get the MRFH Solutions?
You can, but we can also mail the solutions to you or any of your
family members out of state. We currently have clients in eight
states taking these solutions. We also have several healthcare
clinics in Albuquerque carrying the MRFH Solutions and also
a few clinics out of state. Ask your Doctor or Practitioner if they
carry our MRFH Solutions.
Why would I want to take the MRFH Solutions instead
of doing other types of therapies? The MRFH Solutions
can actually be taken in conjunction with other therapies or
supplements. Most of our clients do Oxygen/Ozone treatments,
Massage, Colonics, Reflexology, Bio-Feedback, Chiropractic
during the course of the MRFH Solutions.
How long do the MRFH Solutions need to be taken? Each
person will be different. The protocols we have are between
8-12 weeks long and the solutions are taken between 2-5 days
per week. Cost varies depending on the number of solutions
taken each week.
These solutions are taking over and we are proud to be able
to provide them to you or to your Doctor/Practitioner. We have
a video presentation which is available for you to view. It covers
each of the MRFH Solutions in great detail. Call our office to
set up a time to visit our clinic to watch the video. Call us today
for a personalized protocol for your health needs. We were the
first to use Dr. Simoncini’s Bicarbonate Therapy in the state of
New Mexico and we have used it successfully for over 3 years
now. No one in the state has more experience with this therapy
than we do.
Christopher has been awarded the 2003 National Leadership
Award. He is a member of the IOA (International Ozone
Association) and a student member of ACAM (American College for

becomes so familiar you think it’s you. That makes it rather
difficult to identify with any sort of objectivity.
Answer: Take advantage of every “negative” situation.
That’s why outside support is so crucial. When you’re tired
A friend, whom I’ll call “Silvia”*, was recently doing some
of
being
run by your stuff, and want get back in touch with
shopping in Target. She was looking for the shortest checkout
line, when she saw an opening at a counter with no one the real you, FIND HELP recognizing your stuff and letting
waiting. She hurried on over and put down her two items, go. Preferably from someone who has done their own work,
when she heard a nearby woman bellow, “Excuse me! My and can patiently and honestly hold up a mirror for you. You
mother is coming and we’re about to check out here. You’re don’t need to analyze what caused your stuff, but you do have
to take responsibility for it. It’s not glamorous, flashy work,
taking our spot!”
and there are no shortcuts. But if you decide to do it, and
Silvia looked around and saw her accuser standing nearby... stick with it, your life will change forever, for the better. And

some kind of land shark.
Silvia was in quite a twist. Here she was, minding her own
business, and suddenly finding herself being falsely accused of Max Highstein is an intuitive guide, author and teacher. He helps
intentionally cutting in front of an invalid! She was about to people get unstuck and find their way home through Heart Centered

right ahead with your things.”
Oh, man. Now she was not only angry, but embarrassed
about being angry toward this innocent little old lady. Red
faced and fuming, she said, “No, no, I’ll leave” and stalked off
in search of a less challenging checkout experience.
So, what happened here? This, my friends, is what the
angels call “A Setup,” and Sylvia fell right into it. She wasn’t
just shopping in Target, she was the target. But let me explain.
Sylvia happens to be one of the kindest people I know, and
in fact, works serving the needs of the elderly and infirm. She’s
the last person who would ever cut in front of an old lady. She’s
also someone who works diligently to improve herself from
the inside out. But deep within her there’s still a fair amount
of anger, and Sylvia’s Higher Self wants the anger gone.
And that’s why the angels just love to pull strings, and set
her up. Again and again, she’s placed in situations that bring
the anger inside of her up to the surface, so she can clear it.
Anger, sadness, fear... let’s just call it our “stuff”. We don’t
get rid of our stuff by sitting alone in a room meditating.
We get rid of our stuff by living life, having experiences, and
letting go.
When your stuff comes up, recognize it for what it is and
drop it. The more stuff you release, the less stuff you have
inside, controlling you.
It’s simple, but not easy. When stuff comes up, it tends to
take us over, and “anger” becomes “I’M SO ANGRY”. Same
with sadness, or fear, or whatever your favorite stuff happens

Unique Path

ho are you really? What have you always dreamed
of doing? What is holding you back? If not now,
when? Hearing questions like this always gets my
juices running, my heart pumping and then I visualize the
possibilities and see them coming true by knowing the best
timing for my new adventures and goals!
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Linda Miller
and I am living my dream of being a Light Worker doing Astrology, Numerology and Psychic Readings. Starting out in life,
I worked as an X-Ray and Nuclear Medicine Tech, married and
raised a family. An intervening decade of creating and selling art
also strode along side my study of metaphysics for 30 years. This
period of study gave me the opportunity to learn about the deeper
aspects of my unique path.
Sometimes, our personal pasts can define who we ‘think’ we
are according to the expectations of society, family and loved
ones. But when the layers are peeled back, there are often signs
of a vital, energetic and alive person inside – waiting to become
whole. My delight in discovering this for myself lead to my
desire to help others do the same.
I offer Astrology, Numerology and Psychic Readings as well
as give classes and presentations on these subjects. Through these
studies, you can learn about your significant personality traits,
the timing and importance of your present state of affairs, your
future, and your relationships. With psychic channeled readings,
you can receive messages from the angels, ascended masters and
your deceased loved ones. I strive to bring integrity through my
readings so you can also learn about unknown traits and talents
that you possess!

Tired of Being Sick and Tired?
By Dr. Kirk E. Manson, Chiropractor
“I am sick and tired of being sick and tired,” is a common
compliant I hear often from patients. Here in lies the dilemma.
Are patients tired because they are sick? Or are they sick because
they are tired?
We all have heard “you need a good night’s rest.” Achieving
REM sleep is perhaps the best medicine you can get. Most people
never quite get the sleep their individual bodies are craving. This
causes lethargy and an inability to focus during the day. However,
some people suffer from extreme exhaustion commonly referred
to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
According to the Mayo clinic, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a
complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that may
worsen with physical or mental activity, but does not improve
with rest. From a patient perspective is an agonizing sense of
being tired all the time and enduring inexplicable pain. There
are over one million people estimated who suffer from Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome in the US. Unfortunately, many people are
suffering, undiagnosed.
There are eight classic symptoms; fatigue, profound exhaustion, poor memory or concentration, headaches, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, unexplained muscle and joint pain. Over
time, other symptoms manifest such as irritable bowel, abdominal
pain, nausea, diarrhea, bloating and weight loss or gain. Often,
patients with CFS have an increased sensitivity to foods, alcohol,
odors, chemicals, medications or noise. Some patients suffer from
chills and night sweats, brain fog, chest pain, shortness of breath,
chronic cough. They experience light sensitivity, blurry vision,
eye pain or dry eyes. CFS sufferers may have irregular heartbeats,
dizziness, and balance problems. They also suffer from depression, irritability, mood swings, anxiety and panic attacks.
It is understandable why Chronic Fatigue sufferers find it
extremely difficult to perform routine tasks, like getting out of
bed, dressing, and eating. Their fatigue does not get better with
sleep. CFS severely affects school, work, and leisure activities.
The physical and emotional symptoms can last for months or
even years.
What causes Chronic Fatigue? Researchers have not pinpointed the actual cause of
CFS; however, they are suggesting that it may be caused by
a dysfunction of the immune and central nervous system.
Metabolic abnormalities and other risk factors such as stress,
genetic predisposition, age, gender and environmental causes
have also been linked to chronic fatigue. A 2009 study in the
International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine
links chronic fatigue to a dysfunction in cellular mitochondrial
energy synthesis and biogenesis. Mitochondrial Biogenesis is the
process by which new mitochondria are produced inside your
body’s cells. Energy synthesis is your body’s ability to produce
energy for your proper function. In light of the metabolic role
played by mitochondria, it is no surprise that the conclusion of
this study was “a remarkable correlation between the degree of
mitochondrial dysfunction and the severity of CFS.”
There also seems to be a correlation between CFS and gluten
intolerance or Celiac Disease. (Gluten is found in any wheat, rye,
barley and many food ingredients which include modified food
starch.) Celiac Disease is an immune system disorder. Basically,
the immune system sees gluten as the enemy. It attacks the gluten
which damages the walls of the small intestine. Additionally,
there are several other diseases and conditions that mimic or
contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome. These include Leaky
Gut Syndrome, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism,
hormonal imbalances, mononucleosis virus and autoimmune
disorders to name a few.
There seems to be a direct link between diet, toxic exposure,
genetics and cellular health. In our facility, we use metabolic
and nutritional testing to determine what might be the root
cause of the syndrome. There is a consensus that getting
the nutrition that is right for your body will offset these CFS
symptoms. Additionally, finding out what allergies you have can
be very beneficial. By simply identifying foods, food additives
or chemicals which cause increased immune sensitivity and
eliminating them from your diet will often provide relief from
chronic fatigue. After utilizing functional medicine testing for
one of my patients who had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia,
we found she was allergic to red dye and chamomile tea. She
drank tea every night at bedtime. Her lipstick contained red
dye. She immediately eliminated these products from her diet
and environment. Within one month, her health improved
dramatically and she no longer experienced chronic fatigue.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a “magic pill” to combat chronic
fatigue. However, there are several treatment alternatives. Patients
with the best chance for improvement are those who remain as
active as possible. Chiropractic adjustments stimulate the central
nervous system by re-charging the neurological pathways to the
brain. Myofascial Release helps relieve deep tissue muscle pain.
Physical Therapy builds and strengthens coordinated movement
which helps alleviate the symptoms. Yoga and home-based daily
stretching is often helpful in reducing the symptoms of chronic
fatigue. Nutritional supplements and detoxification can help to
boost immune system and increase energy production. Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome is a complex disease with many contributing
factors, and treatment requires the careful evaluation of several
metabolic factors to determine the best approach for your unique
circumstance.

Why do I feel so bad?
By Bill Haggard, LMT #2554
(This is a paid advertisement.)
“I feel tired all the time, I can’t think clearly, I feel
exhausted, I have aches and pains, and I’m irritable. I lose
my temper quickly and then feel bad because my outburst
wasn’t really justified.”
Do any of these sound familiar? They are all symptoms
of a congested body due to poor diet, lack of exercise, poor
environment, toxic thoughts and emotions, lack of proper
fluids; not to mention poor bowel habits or infrequent
elimination.
Remember when spring blew in and the pollen counts were
high? The AAH-CHOO, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose are
not the fault of pollen. It’s the body’s response to congestion.
Pollen is the high vibratory reproductive life force of a plant.
When we breathe it in, it creates a stirring up of the toxic
overload.
All the clutter inside from overeating and under pooping
contributes to allergic reactions like sneezing, coughing, itchy
eyes, runny nose, etc. Pollen is Mother Nature’s way of telling
humans we need to hydrate, clean up our insides, and eat
lighter (fruits & vegetables). Then we are more fluid and can
process the highly cleansing life force that the pollen brings in.
If you are tired, irritable, and can’t sleep, be assured that
congestion and toxicity are at the Bottom of it, pun intended.
Colonics can help immensely and immediately. They will
hydrate and escort out the accumulated build up of previously
mentioned dietary insults. They can help reset and restore the
body to a healthier state.
All About Health is a great place to relax and let go.

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to
decide who was the boss.
“I should be in charge,” said the brain “because I run all the
body’s systems, so without me nothing would happen.”
“I should be in charge,” said the blood “because I circulate
oxygen all over, so without me you’d all waste away.”
“I should be in charge,” said the stomach “because I process
food and give all of you energy.”
“I should be in charge,” said the legs “because I carry the
body wherever it needs to go.”
“I should be in charge,” said the eyes “because I allow the
body to see where it is going.”
“I should be in charge,” said the bowel “because I’m
responsible for waste removal.”
All the other body parts laughed at the bowel and insulted
him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the
brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the
legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood became
toxic. All the organs decided the bowel should be the boss.
And that’s the way it is!

Mammogram
Substitute?
By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM
I
t’s so confusing! We expected to have a mammogram every
year because that was what had been recommended. Then
the U.S. Preventative Task Force said that wasn’t a good
idea and we should wait until we are 50 years old and have a
mammogram every two years. So, what are we supposed to do
before age 50? Aren’t mammograms safe? Why shouldn’t we
have mammograms every year?
Mammograms use ionizing radiation and exposure to
radiation increases our risk for cancer – so if we radiate our
breasts to see if we have cancer – will we increase our risk of
developing cancer? And why age 50? Is it that at age 50 – we’re
so old it doesn’t matter if we increase our risk for cancer? Or is
it by the time they diagnose breast cancer in an older woman
(those of us over age 50); we’ll most likely die of something
else... like STRESS? See how easy it is to think ourselves into
a frenzy of confusion.
There is no doubt that exposure to radiation increases
the risk for cancer. This is the reason the dentist covers us
with a lead apron when he X-rays our teeth. Dr. Oz recently
reminded us that there is a “thyroid guard” (sometimes only
used when requested) for mammograms to protect us from
excess radiation. So, isn’t there a way to do breast screening
without radiation?
Thermography is a screening method that takes pictures
of the heat emitted from the body. No radiation. No lead
aprons or walls. No compression. No stress. Mammograms
image changes in the anatomy of the breast, when a tumor has
started to grow. They are necessary in the later stages of disease
to pinpoint the location of a tumor. Thermograms image
changes in blood vessels and inflammation that precede tumor
growth. They are safe for women of any age and available at the
Thermography Center, right here in Albuquerque.

What is a Yeast

The Energy of
Movement...
By Linda Sullivan, DOM
By Jennifer Vaitkus of White Horse
...How to access the infinite knowledge of your Soul
I have been working with the idea that our bodies are physical
manifestations of our souls. To understand my Spirit, I can look
to my body for explanation. If my soul knows everything and
my body is a manifestation of my soul then my body knows
everything.
Accessing your Soul’s knowledge can be done powerfully
through movement. Move your body using breath and intention;
naturally and gently move in an atmosphere where you can
quietly listen to its answer. It is amazing how much your body
will tell you by just asking.
Try this: ask yourself a question, such as, “Which direction
should I go in my career?” Or, “How is the best way to approach my
spouse regarding a difficult situation?” Begin moving, bringing
the energy of the question into your whole body. Knowing your
body holds the answer, continue to move while listening. What
answers to you feel? What thoughts come to your mind? The
answers may come immediately or take a few minutes. If you
move with intention to discover an answer, it will come.
Another way to use the energy of movement is through its
creativity and ability to manifest. For a more open heart, open
your arms and chest, taking a deep breath, breathing light into
the heart area. For a more balanced life, work on balancing
your body. For more confidence, lift your chin and stand tall.
Movement is an instant mood lifter, and it doesn’t take much.
The energy of movement can digest and process all experiences
– keeping them from getting stuck in your body. If you are
experiencing difficult emotions, move or dance them through
your body. The energy of movement is expansive, uplifting,
creative and healing.
Experience The Energy of Movement, Tuesday, May 24th, 6-8pm
at White Horse. Explore these ideas and move with the Divine
knowledge of your Soul. See news/events section, page 4 for more
details. To register, call 505-255-5217.

A
healthy immune system fights infection with “friendly
bacteria” that are normally present in the GI tract.
Candida Albicans is a naturally occurring fungus that is
also present on the skin and throughout the body. The problem is
when Candida Albicans overgrows…it takes over and pushes out
the “friendly bacteria.” When the natural balance of the immune
system is upset in this way, we have a “yeast infection.” Symptoms
such as allergies, rashes, pain, digestive issues, inflammation,
reactions to smells, headaches, etc. occur. Candida infections
include oral, vaginal, blood and intestinal forms.
Taking antibiotics, steroids or birth control pills, heavy or
prolonged stress, eating poorly and changes in hormones due to
pregnancy and menopause are some of the most common reasons
for this imbalance. It is estimated that over 90% of us have an
overgrowth of Candida Albicans.
Antifungal drugs and antifungal herbs have proven to have
very limited results. Recently, science learned that the cell wall of
Candida is comprised mostly of cellulose. Candida often develops
a resistance to the drugs and herbs rendering them useless. Another
reason antifungals fail is because they poison the yeast which then
causes the release of toxins into the body triggering a healing crisis.
Yeast Away and Yeast Control Plus provide Cellulase Enzymes
and Probiotics to cleanse the overgrowth of Candida, help create
and maintain the normal balance of friendly bacteria and candida.
The particular Cellulase enzymes in this product survive stomach
acid and continue into the intestines. They are absorbed into the
blood stream where they search for Candida in every organ of
the body. These Cellulase Enzymes rupture the Candida cell wall
allowing the body to digest the yeast. There is no die-off with this
product and consequently no “healing crisis” as is the case with
antifungal drugs and herbs.
If you think you may have issues related to Candida, schedule a
visit today. We have Yeast Away and Yeast Control Plus in stock.
A Hot Body = Total
Confidence…Want it?
By Lourdes Avitia
A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are
worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion. – J.H. Pilates
When our body is sleek, trim
and toned, we naturally exude
more confidence.
We feel radiant, attractive
and sexy!
Pilates is an innovative system of
mind-body exercise that dramatically
transforms the way your body looks,
feels and performs. It builds strength
without excess bulk, creating a sleek,
toned body with slender thighs and a
flat abdomen. It teaches body awareness, good posture and easy,
graceful movement. No other exercise system is so gentle on
your body while working deep abdominal muscles to provide a
“powerhouse” of strength to support the spine. (Not to mention
abs that will amaze you!). This is the program to help you develop
the most ideal shape for your body type. It develops long lean muscles
that are flexible and strong which creates balance throughout the
body. Hot and sexy doesn’t even begin to describe it! This is a
fitness regime that is applicable to everyday life or one that can be
modified to help an athlete attain any sports specific goal.
Benefits of Pilates:

relieve pain, strain and discomfort in the body. Long hours at a
desk often causes the muscles surrounding the neck, shoulders,
and lower back to often get sore, tight, unbalanced, and painful.
Stretching helps pump vital nutrients to your muscles and
tendons, which help keep them healthy and minimize your risk
of injury. It also stimulates the production of joint lubricants
and prevents adhesions. As circulation increases, your legs, back,
neck, and shoulders loosen up, relieving aches and stiffness.
If you suffer from osteoarthritis pain, you’ll find that
lengthening your body through Pilates will help soothe the
soreness. Appropriate exercise is vital to managing arthritis
because it increases flexibility through stretches and reduces pain
and fatigue. Pilates also leads to subtle posture improvements,
which will also eliminate tension, driving away headaches,
backaches, neck aches, and other aches and pains. My clients
extol the virtues of Pilates for providing them with incredible
pain relief (as well as the luscious body they have always wanted!).

An Overview of the
book, Awaken Children!
and Amma’s Amazing Charitable
Works Around the Globe
By Karen Larré, with Robin Gardner
Known
as the hugging Saint,
A mma,
(Swami Amritaswarupananda) manifests
pure, radiant, divine love in a human
body. Her mission is to spread love,
compassion, peace and service to all of
mankind. Amma’s humanitarian efforts
are well known throughout the world, as
her personal example of relentless sacrifice
and selfless service to humanity has
inspired/directed charity projects in more
than 30 countries. Amma’s worldwide
humanitarian movement is expanding
day by day, as more and more people feel
inspired by Amma’s example to share their
time, energy and resources with their less
fortunate brothers and sisters – both across
the globe and in their own communities.
Amma’s not-for-profit worldwide charities
are collectively known as Embracing
the World, and an updated video of the
same name is made available annually to
highlight charitable developments (DVD
picture on this issue’s cover). Embracing
the World directly evokes Amma’s unique
vocation. Amma has travelled the world;
consoling individuals with her unique
motherly embrace, known as Darshan.
Amma has tirelessly offered this simplest
of gestures to over 29 million people so
far. Amma’s Darshan has served as both
catalyst and selfless example for the international collective of charitable projects
that makes up Embracing the World.
Also featured on this issue’s cover is
Amma’s book, Awaken Children! written
by one of Amma’s senior disciples (name?).
It is the first in a series of books which
chronicle Amma’s life and teachings. In
this first installment, Amma calls her
children (and Amma considers all of
24
humanity her children), to respond from
deep within – where the absolute truth
and expression of Supreme Love resides.
Amma seeks to awaken the innocent child
within each of us.
Amma says, “Only love can make us open
up into God-consciousness. The whole of life
is a lesson on acceptance.” The presence, love
and touch of a divine soul such as Amma
has been known to have a great effect on
people and can cause them to become so
receptive that they ‘open up’ spiritually.
In today’s world, filled with much change
and many challenges, Amma’s words have
practical application. “Whenever you are
confronted with a difficult situation, your
first instinct is to escape, to somehow avoid
it and run away. You may be able to escape
for a while, but sooner or later the same
difficulties will reappear with even greater
force than before. Children, your problems
do not lie in your outer circumstances. Your
difficulties are to be found within your own
mind. Once you become aware of this, you
can begin the process of removing your inner
weaknesses. Meditation is the method that
is used to achieve this. Only inner silence,
stillness and relaxation (which you gain
through meditation) will help.”
“In your spiritual practices, faith is
of far more help to you than the intellect.
Intellectual knowledge has its place;
when used in the right way, it gives you a
certain amount of mental strength and
determination. But to become grounded in
spirit, you need to do rigorous practices. When
it comes to actual practice, unconditional
faith is what you need. So it’s a question of
creating a harmonious balance of faith and
knowledge. To remember God, you have to
forget. To be really focused on God is to be
fully and absolutely present in the moment,
forgetting the past and the future. This sort
of forgetfulness will help you slow down the
mind and will enable you to experience the
bliss of meditation. Genuine meditation is
the end of all misery. All suffering is caused
by the mind. Only by letting go of the past,
which can be achieved through meditation,
is it possible to become established in the Self
or God.”
The stories in Awaken Children! can
have a profound impact on our hearts if
we are open to compassion. The divine
grace we receive
when being compassionate can elevate
our spiritual growth
when we also learn
to become willing
to surrender. There
are many interpretations of living in
the moment, and
Amma’s view of
being “Here and
Now” serves as
a refreshing and
powerful teaching to enhance our
day-to-day lives and spiritual progress.
“Those who desire nothing but God-realization do not bother about the past or the
future. Their wish is to be in the present moment, for that is where God is; that is where
perfect peace and bliss is to be found. It is by
being in this moment that you attain perfect
stillness and quietude within. The past and
the future are movements of the mind; moving back and forth like a pendulum. The real
center of existence is experienced when it rests
in the present moment. That stillness, or center, is what a true seeker yearns for. His focus
is on the here and now. That is known as the
remembrance of God.
There are doubts that can arise as life’s
challenges are upon us. Many become disillusioned and discouraged, but Amma tells us
that once we have acquired spiritual power,
it cannot be lost. “In worldly life, things may
go wrong in two ways; there may be complete
destruction, or things may turn out the opposite of what you expected. If you remember
God or if you do your spiritual practice for
just one second, it can never be wasted. The
merit you gain will stay within you, and will
inevitably come forth, like an un-germinated
seed that is still fresh and alive. If you have
called God with genuine faith and surrender even for a second, it must be rewarded.
Those moments when you remembered God
will remain with you and will manifest at
the right time.”
A Glimpse of Amma’s Charitable/
Humanitarian Projects:
Amma’s charities and humanitarian efforts currently include projects in the areas
of: Spiritual, Social, Medical, Feeding the
Poor, Housing, Financial Assistance, Education and Nature Preservation Programs.
Amma says, “We can never close our eyes to
the world in the name of spirituality.”
DISASTER RELIEF
Amma’s efforts have brought relief to
those who suffered in Tsunamis, including
the recent one in Japan, but also in India,
and Sri Lanka. Amma’s disaster projects
have benefited those affected by hurricane
Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti, as
well as the earthquake in Peru and her
disaster relief efforts grow in size and
service each year.
THE RELIEF EFFORT IN JAPAN
In response to the devastation caused
by the recent earthquake and tsunami
in Japan, Embracing the World
representatives have already traveled to
hard-hit Sendai to provide food and water
for refugees and to assess conditions on
the ground. They will soon be initiating
a broader relief effort. Donations to fund
these efforts are welcome and appreciated.
Amma’s Medical Projects include two
hospitals, a medical outreach program and
a hospice program.
Amma says, “It is the nature of the body
to become sick. Therefore, it’s important to
undergo required medical treatment. In
order to know God, it is necessary to preserve
the physical instrument-the body. Therefore,
hospitals and treatment are not incompatible
with spirituality. They are crucial in
maintaining the body, which is a means to
know the soul (Self).”
There are many medical programs
and institutions inspired by Amma that
provide professional treatment and relief
to the sick and the destitute. These medical
institutions and programs range from
charitable hospitals, hospices, nursing
homes, medical outreach programs,
disaster relief programs, tribal welfare
programs and so on.
FEEDING THE HUNGRY, HELPING
THE NEEDY
Embracing the World exists to help
alleviate the burden of the world’s poor
through helping to meet each of their
five basic needs – food, shelter, education,
healthcare and livelihood – wherever
and whenever possible. The Embracing
the World Initiative believes that having
these needs met is the fundamental right
of any human being, and that it is the
responsibility of each of us to strive hard
to ensure that one day, every human being
can live in dignity, safety, security and
peace. Further, the Embracing the World
Initiative also believes that everyone –
rich or poor – has the power to make a
difference in the life of another, and that
no selfless gesture is insignificant. Rather,
it is the selfless actions we perform for
one another that hold the keys to true
peace– peace in the individual, peace in
the community, and peace among diverse
cultures, nations and faiths.
M.A Math was first established in
the early eighties, the primary charitable
activity was feeding the poor at Amritapuri
Center. M.A Math continues until today,
feeding over 2 million poor people
through various centers each year, and has
also expanded into other areas of need.
Hundreds of children, women and
other deserving persons receive free
clothes, educational aids, scholarships and
uniforms every year as well as food.
Other fields in which M.A Math
regularly participates include blood
donation campaigns, natural healing
classes, visiting patients at hospitals,
asylums, and jails, anti-drug, tobacco and
intoxicants campaigns, providing tuition
and moral education for children, free
legal consultation etc.
Mother’s Kitchen is the first project in
the US to feed the hungry. As of January,
2007 (most updated statistics) Mother’s
Kitchen serves 72,000 free meals every
year.
Educational Projects include Amrita University, a Medical College, a
Computer Institute, Computer Software Training, a Management School,
an Engineering Institute, Industrial
Training, Pharmaceutical Sciences, a
Primary School and a Nursing School.
A number of things make the Amrita
Institutes unique. In addition to learning
the most up-to-date technologies, the
students are given information on
yoga, meditation etc. As a part of the
curriculum, students take a course called
“Self-Awareness and Personality Growth”,
taught by a yoga teacher. The course
aims to help the students understand
themselves. They learn about the human
character and the nature of the mind.
Apart from the graduate schools,
meditation forms a part of the routine
right from the start at elementary schools
founded by Amma. She says, “Meditation
is a priceless gift. It opens up a person’s
creativity and joyfulness, so that life can
become a celebration.”
Spiritual Projects include the Amritapuri ashram in India (the first spiritual center established by Amma), where
Amma resides today along with 2000 residents who come from all over the world.
Today Amma has spiritual centers established all over the world. These centers
provide an ideal environment to meditate,
perform selfless-service supporting Amma’s innumerable humanitarian activities
and gives solace and peace to all who come
in search of some comfort.

cont’d
in tree planting and the maintenance of plants. Its members also
practice eco-meditation, a method of re-establishing the vitally
important harmony between nature and humanity.
Amma’s humanitarian projects have built more than
140,000 homes, provided 2 million patients treatment at
no charge, 320,000 scholarships have been awarded (a total
of 100,000 will be given) and volunteers have planted one
million trees.
TOURS
Whether Amma is touring or is in her Spiritual Center in
India, she is doing one thing most of the time - that is, receiving
one and all who have assembled in her presence with a gentle,
warm embrace that has been described as “Divine” by many
around the globe.
When someone asked Amma to describe the experience of
God, Amma said that it is not possible to adequately put into
words the taste of sugar to one who does not know the meaning
of the word “sweet”. One has to taste sugar to understand
sweetness. Similarly, God is pure experience, beyond the mind
and words.
Amma’s devotees speak in the same way about her embrace
– One of Amma’s followers said, “Amma’s hug is like a gentle
river caressing our parched souls. In fact, it is hard to describe
her embrace. It is an experience where my mind stops and feels
completely relaxed and loved.”
It is hard to comprehend the source of Amma’s inexhaustible
energy that flows from moment to moment, day after day, in the
form of a loving, motherly hug. Often she sits for more than 1820 hours straight without even a moment’s break. When asked
if she ever feels tired of listening to the same problems of people,
and hugging over and over again, Amma answered with a smile,
“ Where there is love, there is no eff ort.”
Whether one believes in Amma or not, it remains an
indisputable fact that she is one of the most hard-working people
that this world has ever seen.
Amma says, “My
sole mission is to love
and serve one and
all.” Her only wish
is that her hands
should always be on
someone’s shoulder –
consoling, caressing
and wiping away their
tears.
Don’t Miss Amma in Albuquerque! She is scheduled to be
here again this June, with FREE Public Programs and her
special Retreat, between June 17 & 20, 2011. Please check

IT TAKES ‘Great Heart’
to Love Enough to Let Go
By Phaeryn Sheehan

osmetic Acupuncture can help you look and feel
years younger without surgery or Botox! It works on
age spots, sagging and wrinkles, providing a more
youthful appearance. It’s an ancient method of acupuncture,
with a modern twist, that has been practiced for thousands
of years. It’s highly effective and produces amazing results.
In fact, the results of a CA treatment should be seen after a
single treatment.
The benefits of CA are multiplied when you consider that
a patient’s health and well being are addressed as well as their
appearance. Patients’ health issues are addressed at the same
time as their appearance concerns, and everything improves.
It is our health that determines our youthful radiance, so
poor health equals undesirable appearances. If you have
digestive problems, sleep disorders, pain, long standing chronic
condition(s), etc., these issues are treated along with your skin.
How does Cosmetic Acupuncture work?
CA creates micro-traumas to increase the production of
blood, collagen and elastin in the skin, which fills out the
wrinkles using the body’s natural abilities. You’ll leave feeling
relaxed, renewed and refreshed, but with the added benefit
of a tighter, more toned look around the face and neck, an
overall feeling of well-being, and none of the risky side effects
of surgery or Botox.
Beauty In Wellness emphasizes great care with their
diagnostic intakes – as proper diagnoses are the key to
successful acupuncture treatments; and with CA, the right
plan contributes to the longest lasting, most impressive results.
When we are in great health, we are rewarded with youthful
good looks. Who says we should have to choose between
looking great and feeling great? At Beauty In Wellness, you
can have it all!
Attend one of Beauty In Wellness’s FREE seminars on this revolutionary technique & see if cosmetic acupuncture is right for you! Sat. @
11am-12noon: May 7, May 21, June 11 & 25. Space is limited. Reserve
your seat today: 505-792-1101, www.beautyinwellness.com.
W
hen I was a teenager and did something to make
my parents proud, I used to wonder why my
parents would sometimes look at me so wistfully.
Instead of giving me a ‘high five’ or making normal hoots and
holler sounds that proud parents normally make, they would
get ‘weepy’ on me. I would always wonder why they had such
weird reactions sometimes. What I didn’t realize then, was
that my parent’s hearts were breaking because I was growing
up and they were soon going to have to let me go.
One summer day, shortly after I had graduated from college,
I told my mother that I had been thinking about living at
home and going to graduate school. When she didn’t respond
but walked out of the room instead, I followed her and repeated
myself (thinking she just hadn’t heard me the first time). She
had heard me though. She just couldn’t respond because she
was crying. Quickly I hugged her and said, ‘Mom, what’s the
matter?’ She turned and took my face in her hands and said,
“Yes, you staying here would help your father and I so much,
given we both aren’t feeling well, but you MUST go...you must
take that teaching job in California and not come back because
if you don’t go now, you never will.”
With all of her might of heart, in those miraculous
moments, she severed any dependency we had created between
each other and demanded that I fully take my life on with no
looking back...ever. This precious time with her comes back as
I prepare to channel the Ascended Masters Warriorship of The
Heart Program. I have to credit her, my beloved mother Teresa
Sheehan, for always showing me what matters most and what
our world has needed most – always living the ways of Great
Heart.

You Are
Perfection
By Melinda Iverson Inn
Serving you since 1993
“Me? Perfect?” You might ask, “How can you say that? I
don’t feel perfect at all! Nobody’s perfect!”
It may come as a surprise, but each of us contains perfection;
it is our innate Divinity – that deep and positive energy pattern
with which we were born, and which links us to all Beings. As we
do our inner work, we may just be starting to sense Its Presence.
With diligence, we can consciously create and reinforce behaviors
and responses based on loving-kindness, patience, forgiveness and
generosity. In channeling our acts and intentions in this way, we
can connect with the Divinity within us, and learn to see It in
others. By example, we may even inspire others to do the same.
An important part of this process is to observe when we are
judging others or ourselves. It is our judgments of non-perfection
that create blockages in our clarity and in our connection to our
own inner perfection. Judging also prevents us from seeing the
Divine Presence reflected back to us by others.
This cultivation/reflection of perfection requires constancy
and diligence. We need to be aware, in each moment, of how
we are viewing the world, others, and ourselves. Are our past
hurts and experiences driving our behaviors? Are we slaves to
habitual negative thinking and therefore reacting blindly instead
of acting consciously? The more conscious awareness we bring to
the present moment, the less suffering we experience and the less
suffering we inflict upon others.
In time, one can begin to see the Divine in all beings. Even
so-called inanimate objects exist as energy patterns that are keyed
into the Divine Consciousness.
Everything is as it is. To see that everything is perfectly in its
place of being-ness, and to allow that vision, is to recognize that
which is called Divine order.
Many Blessings ~ Melinda

triglycerides and more, please consider the following…
a bio-mat while you improve your health.
If you are dealing with these issues you can:
1.Get educated about them! Did you know: That a
Mediterranean diet leads to greater glycemic control and
decreases your risks? That a raw diet can virtually regulate
blood sugar for some in as little as 3 days?
Do You Know the approximate glycemic index of the
following items? (Lower is better)
1) High fructose corn syrup – 92 – 105+
2) Maltodextrin/Maltose – 105
3) Glucose/Dextrose – 100
4) Sucralose – 89/ Sucrose – 65
5) Table sugar – 64
6) Evaporated cane juice (almost equivalent to table
sugar) – 55
7) Honey – 55
8) Lactose – 46
9) Fructose – 19-22
10) Stevia – 0
2. Start on a healthy eating plan – Be tested for the
appropriate food program for your weight management,
body composition, glycemic issues and prevention of ill
health.
3. Begin regular physical activity – We are happy to test for
the most beneficial exercise for you as well as how often and
how long your exercise sessions should be.
4. Add appropriate nutritional supplementation – Improve
your health and prevent disease with natural supplements
tested specifically for your body. Supplementation is made
for the unique problem of metabolic syndrome and related
illnesses.
5. Take advantage of equipment and modalities made
specifically for these issues – such as our infra-red sauna,
laser, and foot detox. Metabolic syndrome produces toxicity
induced diabetes, so detoxing is essential.
6. Manage your stress – Learn clearing techniques to manage
stress and help regulate insulin and hormone levels.
7. Get professional coaching – You can be integrated to
elevate your thinking patterns and emotions and incorporate
beneficial lifestyle adjustments so that you can reach your
goals.
Metabolic syndrome is a serious problem that
encompasses, or leads to the following and more:
Insulin resistance
Kidney damage
Type 2 diabetes
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Pre-diabetes
Dementia
Obesity
Sleep apnea
Cognitive decline
Fat accumulation in the liver
Erectile Dysfunction
One of the most frequent problems women experience
is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Because of metabolic
syndrome, women and men experience severe hormonal
imbalances, mood swings, food cravings, acne, excessive body
hair growth and many more unwanted symptoms.
If you have three or more of the following issues, you
could be evaluated as having metabolic syndrome:
• High blood pressure – over 130 mm hg systolic BP or over
85mm hg diastolic
• Elevated triglycerides – over 150 mg/dl
• Larger waist (visceral stomach fat) – 40 inches in men, 35
in women causes 9 to 30 times increased risk of type 2
diabetes and 2 to 4 times increased risk of heart disease
• Reduced HDL–C - below 40 in men, below 50 in women
• Elevated fasting glucose – over 100 mg/dl
• Elevated LDL cholesterol – over 129
Here are the facts:
• High blood pressure takes 7.5 million lives per year.
• Physical inactivity claims 3.2 million lives per year.
• High blood glucose causes 3.4 million to die each year.
• Being overweight/obese leads to the loss of 2.8 million lives
per year. It is the biggest health problem in our country.

Opening to the Possibility –
Nice Homes for All
By Nancy Bowers
T
o achieve anything, we must first be open to the
possibility. Henry Ford said, “Whether You Think
You Can or Can’t, You’re Right.” What do you
think is possible for you? It’s an important question because
answering it tells you the limits you’ve set on yourself. We live
in a benevolent universe – whatever we believe is true for us is
true because the universe always says, “yes!” It is the fear that
this is not true that gets in the way of experiencing the bounty
that is our birthright. The problem for most of us is not that
good things aren’t there for the taking. The problem is that we
don’t have a big enough mental equivalent. There is a spiritual
principle at work that states that in order to make something
a reality for us, we must believe it is possible – we must have a
mental equivalent. Think of it like a container into which we
pour our desires: the bigger the container, the more it holds,
but it can’t possibly hold more. A container the size of a cup
cannot hold a gallon of water.
It is popular these days to belabor the state of the economy,
but the economy is a reflection of consumer confidence or fear.
Opening our minds to possibility is about recognizing that
no matter what is happening, we are always at choice. We get
to choose how to respond and the magnificent thing about
perceived bad times is that stimulates creative juices; it creates
new possibilities. I started this business because I witnessed
fear creating situations that were making people miserable
around this very basic need – the need for shelter. Everyone
needs a place to live. The general consensus seems to be that
this is a bad time to buy a house and if you believe that, then
it will be true for you because it is done unto us as we believe.
But I believe that there has never been a better time. I believe
that it’s time for us to take back the housing industry from the
banks and show them that they cannot destroy peoples’ lives
with unscrupulous practices. The problem, as I see it, rests in
lack of education. People don’t know what their options are,
and the sad part is that help is available but many don’t trust it
because it sounds too good to be true.
If you’re a first time home-buyer, there are programs
available to help you realize that dream. The days of people
buying luxury homes they can’t really afford are over but those
days left some great bargains in their wake. And for those who
are upside-down in their mortgage, there is help available. For
those whose credit has been ruined, there is help available.
For those who have no credit, there is help available. But all
of it begins with one essential component; before you can be
helped, you must be open to the possibility that it really can
happen.
I am not a realtor or a banker. I am a real estate investor and
a transactional engineer trained to help people with their real
estate problems. Beyond all that, I am a soon-to-be licensed
Practitioner of Religious Science, which means I am trained
to know the Spiritual Truth. I am trained to see the God in
everyone. I am trained in helping people open to the possibility
that good things are theirs for the claiming and helping them
create the mental equivalent that creates a space for that good
to come in. The first step is not easy but essential: before we
can claim our good, we must first open to the possibility that
it can happen.
Namaste.

The “You Inventory,”
Unearth Your Skills
By Camille Scielzi, Life Coach
S
omewhere along the way we have probably heard that it
was boastful, proud, or arrogant to refer to our abilities.
Oh, we celebrate our successful accomplishments, like
graduations, or jobs, but the celebration is brief.
What did this milestone really represent? It “just happened,”
or “I was in the right place at the right time” is frequently said.
The hidden mind-trap here is that by saying these comments,
we reinforce a belief that what we want can’t happen unless the
universe is aligned, and it is Meant to Be.
Consequently, we live life like a log floating on the river
swept along by the current. We need to be reminded we can
choose our paths. Wouldn’t you rather be in a boat heading
toward a specific direction? Here is a quick exercise to find
your rudder again and move toward a greater destination than
the Unknown.
Begin by taking a moment to write down your most
successful achievements. Be specific in listing what you
achieved, and really begin to feel what why this is a “This Is
Your Life Moment.” Now, take this simple quiz all about You:
The Quick “You Inventory” of Skills:

HOLISTIC PSYCHIATRY
It is time to Awaken the
Prosperous Goddess Within!!
By Solané Verraine
Dear Sister,
Do you know that you are meant to SHINE like the
Goddess you truly are in all areas of your life including being
in alignment with your soul’s purpose and prospering in the
financial arena?
Are you on a spiritual path and have tried to apply the Law
of Attraction but still feel that true prosperity eludes you?
If that is not bad enough…do you feel a clinch in your gut
when it is time to pay bills or do you put off living your dream
due to money fears? Don’t worry you are not alone! Nearly
40% of people who took an online
survey recently reported experiencing
significant money worries. And if
that weren’t problem enough, money
worries seem to be a lynch pin affecting
other important areas of life such as
relationships, job performance, and
overall life satisfaction. It is as if when
your money issues come into balance,
a whole host of other problems would
just disappear. Well, no more. It is
time to shift this.
If you resonate with what I’ve
written so far, I can totally relate. For
10 years, I struggled to just barely get
by financially in my spiritual coaching
business. I was helping people have
deep transformations in their lives, but
was stuck in this area of my own life.
Through a series of wake–up calls, I
got the deep message that enough is enough. I sat my heart
down and we had a talk. My heart said “Get help. You can’t
solve this alone.” So I began to invest what little I had in
programs and teachings. I learned something from each one of
them and I am grateful. But eventually, I was dissatisfied and
put in a request to the Universe that it not only be easier – but
more fun. Very shortly after that, I came across a process that
was the answer I had been praying for. My life began to shift
very quickly in amazing ways. And I am thrilled, passionate
and excited to offer you this process in a 6-week phone seminar
entitled: Awakening the Prosperous Goddess Within.
Although these are very challenging times on the planet, with
Earth herself is going through a transformation. Institutions
and governments are in upheaval and deep transition. Yet
never before has there been so much support coming from
all directions; inner and outer – for our transformation. It
as if we are dying to an old way of being on this planet and
are birthing a new more conscious,
loving way of being that is in
harmony and alignment with the
laws of the universe and the earth
instead of being in opposition to them.
No longer do we need to live lives
of quiet desperation; not living our
souls’ deepest purpose – without the
joy, peace fulfillment and prosperity
that we are meant to embody as
sparks of the Divine Creator.
Please come join me on this
6-week journey of transformation.
You will step into your soul’s reality
of being a prosperous goddess and
shining in all areas of your life.
(Did you know that our mind is
95% unconscious and that is what
is running the show?) During the
6-week seminar, you will learn a
process that will easily, effortlessly, safely (and with joy and
fun) unlock the limiting beliefs held in your sub-conscious
mind around prosperity and your true purpose.
Wouldn’t you like to put your money worries and fears to rest
once and for all; begin to attract more wealth and prosperity
as well as become more self loving, radiant, confident and at
ease…living your soul’s purpose?
This journey will be amazing. Meet me on a free introductory teleconference call Tuesday, June 7th at 7pm.
Call: 605-562-3000, enter pin: 328549#. You’ll learn more about it and see if this path is for you.
Then mark your calendar! This Life-Changing Program starts on Tuesday June, 21st at 7pm
and continues for 5 consecutive weeks. Seminar details will be provided on the free introductory call.

2012:
Fear and Stress or
Passionate
About Pets
Excitement and Adventure?
By Robin Gardner and Susan Lemme
By Cassandra Noël
F
ear and excitement can have similar body sensations, but
the thoughts are different. Change is in our midst, yet even
positive change can elicit stress. As the vibratory upgrades
continue to be received and integrated by the earth plane, there
will be a log of change – both internally and externally. The
observer affects the observed. Where you put your attention and
presence makes a difference. What thoughts will you be thinking?
More than ever before we are called to live from our hearts
in the NOW. Releasing emotional blocks and having centering
practices will support our transition to more divine ways of
living. Tapping/EFT, TAT, qigong, meditation, etc., are easy,
economical ways to un-stress and center.
And it helps to have a bigger picture. So far, working with
Dan Mathews and Holy Divine Healing offers me the broadest
perspective. Years ago Spirit provided Dan with the information,
capacity and dates for implementing new planetary paradigms
(states of consciousness). Each paradigm increases our collective
consciousness and upgrades our sacred geometry. From an initial
longstanding 3 paradigms, 10 paradigms providing quantum
change have come in the past seven years, with the 13th being
Heaven on Earth.
This year, two totally new, never-on-the-planet-before
paradigms come in. The 14th Bridge entered on April 14th and
the final paradigm, Cosmic Consciousness, arrives on December
25th, 2011. All 15 paradigms will coexist until they “collapse”
into the 15th paradigm in December 2012. This opens up our
human reality to a far more divine experience.
As many man-made constructs reorganize for a more divine
reality, how will you participate? With presence and creativity?
With a larger, more wonderful vision? What thoughts will you
be thinking; of fear and stress? or trust and blessing? Intend now
for your highest good and the highest good of all.

Why is Chakra Healing So Effective?
By Charlene Lewis, CH, CWK, CQT
C
hakras are energy centers and the openings for
life energy to flow into and out of our auras. There
are seven major chakras. Invisible to the human eye,
chakras can be perceived intuitively by trained energy workers.
Healthy and balanced chakras can heal the physical and
emotional bodies.
My clients have had amazing physical, as well as profound
emotional and spiritual shifts from the energy healing that I
do. I also use various other emotional healing techniques to
balance their emotional and physical bodies as well as show
them techniques to do at home.
The heart chakra (which is considered to be the love
center) is the energy center where love, gratitude, joy, happiness
and also heartbreak, grief, pain, and fear, etc., are felt. Learning
to love yourself unconditionally is a powerful healing step to take.
While it may seem challenging, it’s possible (especially with skilled
assistance). I have found that healing this chakra allows you to let
go of old hurts and trauma from your past and also to heal from
deep grief.
When the heart chakra is out of balance, you may feel
indecisive, afraid of letting go, afraid of getting hurt, or
unworthy of love. Physical illnesses connected to the heart
chakra include heart attack, high blood pressure, insomnia,
and difficulty in breathing. Body parts connected to the heart
chakra include heart, lungs, circulatory system, shoulders, and
upper back. Its color is green.
The crown chakra is the opening to our higher powers and
higher spiritual knowledge. If this chakra is closed you may
feel alone and in a shell. Balancing this chakra transforms
negative thoughts into positive thoughts. This chakra governs
the brain, skin and nervous system and is violet in color.
The third eye chakra allows us to evaluate our past
experiences and life patterns and put them into perspective
through the wisdom of this chakra’s actions. A healthy and
balanced third eye chakra also awakens our intuitive and
psychic abilities. It governs the eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, upper
neck and lower brain. Its color is indigo.
The throat chakra is our voice center. It is through our
spoken word that we express ourselves to others. The throat
chakra is associated with the vocal cords and the thyroid gland.
It is the chakra of communication and creative expression.
Unexpressed emotions tend to constrict this energy center.
The throat chakra is blue.
The solar plexus chakra defines our self-esteem. This
chakra supports your ability to manifest what you want in
the physical world. The solar plexus chakra is related to the
digestive organs. It is also the area where chi or life force is
stored. Malfunctions in this chakra may leave you feeling
tired, powerless, and withdrawn. Its color is yellow.
The sacral chakra is considered the sexual energy center.
A well-functioning sacral chakra helps maintain a healthy
yin-yang balance. It is also where individual creativity resides.
The sacral chakra affects the sexual organs. The functions
associated with this center are emotion, vitality, fertility,
reproduction, and sexual energy in general. Any problems in
these functions can be identified and resolved through this
chakra. Its color is orange.
The root chakra represents security, survival, trust, your
relationship with money, home, and job. A balanced root
chakra supports your ability to be and to feel grounded, to be
present in the here and now. This chakra also reflects a person’s
connection with their mother, and with Mother Earth, how
the person feels about being on the earth and their connection
with the physical body. The parts of the body affected by this
chakra are the lymph system, skeleton system, the prostate
gland in men, the bladder and elimination system, legs and
feet. Its color is red.
Balancing/healing your chakras is incredibly effective both physically
and emotionally! Visit www.timetohealnm.com to read some powerful testimonials.

we’ll raise the bar again. And again.

the most current safety and efficacy data, research and resources

key areas.
1. Results: Does it work? Yes! All items that meet our Premium
Body Care™ standard are made to function well and look

ourselves. All Premium Body Care™ product ingredients

or allergies.
ingredients in several categories of public interest.
Preservatives are necessary in body care products, especially
water-based products. Our Premium Body Care™ standard
allows only milder preservatives. They must be shown to function
properly, yet have a lower likelihood of causing cosmetic-related
allergies and sensitivities.
Surfactants are used for cleaning, degreasing, emulsifying,
conditioning and creating foam. They also remove essential fatty
acids and may be irritating to the skin. Our Premium standard
allows only the safest, most gentle types available.
Fragrance is a component that most people expect in premium
products and, if naturally derived, may have aromatherapy
benefits, as well. For philosophical and safety reasons, only natural
essential oils and components of natural essential oils are allowed
as fragrances in our Premium standard.

Bach Remedies –
Miracles Await You
By Valerie Gifford-Graber, Certified Bach Remedy Counselor, Drug & Alcohol Counselor, Wellness Consultant
John Smith (name changed for privacy) said, Hello. I was a Navy
Seal and (I) had trouble with PTSD for many years. I had gone
through military debriefing and counseling. They helped to some
degree, only to have the PTSD return. Though some scars can’t be
seen, they are just as painful…if not more so! Eight months ago, I
was looking for more counseling for the PTSD, as I was hurting
again. I went to The Bach Door and met Valerie Graber. She asked
me to use some Bach Remedies. I was skeptical at first, but I tried
them anyway. To my amazement, after only 2-3 days, I did not have
any more bad dreams (and haven’t had them since). This is truly a
miracle! For twenty years I had been plagued by PTSD. This is really
how I feel now: I am a free man who loves life. Please try these Bach
Remedies…you are worth it. Be well and do good things.
– God Bless, John
J. Herbert Fill, M.D., psychiatrist and former NY City
Commissioner of Mental Health states, I use the remedies almost
exclusively, instead of tranquilizers and, in many cases they alleviate
the problem when all else has failed. The Bach Remedies are extremely
sophisticated in the alleviation of specific moods; are gentle and yet
potent in balancing the body’s subtle energy fields. Thought subtle in
their action, they are not placebos.”
For persons who have trouble sleeping, the Remedies offer
welcome relief. Discovered and developed by Dr. Edward Bach
over 70 years ago, Dr. Bach’s passion was to find a system of
healing that followed his belief of treating the patient and not
the dis-ease. He wanted it to be totally safe and simple enough
for the lay person to use. Bach Remedies have been widely and
successfully established in their use for restoring emotional
balance and positive mental attitude. The Remedies are unique
in that they seek to balance the person mentally, physically and
emotionally. They are completely safe with no counter indications,
so they can be used other medications and supplements. Bach
Remedies are safe for any age and are economical.
Today, many physicians know that emotional and
psychological stress can predispose a person
to physical disorders, at the same time
complicating that disorder and making it more difficult to
treat. Studies in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology (PMI)
conducted at major university research facilities and medical
centers throughout the country reveal that negative emotions can
disrupt nervous system responses, thereby reducing the body’s
resistance to dis-ease. In Dr. Bach’s words, “Treat people for
the emotional unhappiness, allow them to be happy, and they
will become well.” Bach Remedies help bring balance when an
emotional system is out of balance.
Current reports by the American Medical Association stated
that 50-75% of all visits to the doctor are stress-related. What
is stress? It is the body’s adaptation to change - whether it is the
loss of a loved one or a change in the weather. Rescue Remedy
is the world’s best selling natural remedy for stress. The effects
of Rescue Remedy are dramatic; whether for acute or ongoing
stress. And Bach Remedies are often used to treat the side effects
of prescribed medications.
While my passion is helping people heal with Bach Remedies,
I am also a licensed Drug and Alcohol counselor. Over the
years I have found the Remedies particularly helpful for relapse
and addressing the underlying issues of addiction. For persons
sensitive to alcohol and children, I use the alcohol-free Remedies.
Illnesses that do not respond to other treatments often do well
with the Bach Remedies. I have found that profound healing can
take place when the person is treated holistically.
In health and hope,
Give yourself the gift of a life well-lived with joy. Try Bach Remedies to live a more fulfilling
life with less conflict. Having served as a wellness consultant since 1974, I have been trained
in many healing modalities. Together, we will develop a personalized plan for you to reach
your goals.
The Sensual Kitchen ~
A Prelude to Summer
By Kris Wrede, Kismet Potions
Make Your Taste Buds Blossom with these
Gourmet Essential Oil Treats
In the mid 1990’s…a few years after I started making
aromatherapy products, I lived in a great apartment in Chicago
with a rooftop garden. I always made teas from all the fresh herbs
I grew like peppermint, lavender, rose geranium, lemon verbena
and lemon balm. Including honey and fruit made up some
unique combinations. Then I came up with the idea of using the
essential oils…I thought why not intensify the flavors even more?
I decided to start using the oils in baking and cooking and dips
and made various types of food for my legendary parties. People
loved the way the oils intensified the flavors and heightened the
sensuality of the food. The biggest secret was to use very little of
each oil and some sort of fat for the oils to adhere to. Butter, ghee,
olive oil, sesame oil, honey, agave nectar or any type of gourmet
cooking oil (and also alcohol and liqueurs) work beautifully to
help the oils emulsify.
Here are a few of my favorite summer recipes…
Grapefruit Salad with Chili Sweet Pistachios, Goat Milk
Gouda, and Poppy Seed Dressing with South African
Grapefruit and Bergamot Essential Oils
Arrange spring lettuce mix and sprouts on each plate adding 4
peeled pink grapefruit sections around the middle of the plate.
This is the kind you can buy already peeled in juice in jars. Add
a sprinkle of Chili Sweet Pistachios to the center of each plate.
Sprinkle a handful of the grated goat milk Gouda (Arina brand
available at Whole Foods preferred) in each corner. Have guests
serve their own dressing. This is a wonderful spring~ summer dish
even as a lunch entree with the buttermilk cornbread, I love it so
much I will eat it all year long!
Chili Sweet Pistachios
3/4 cup pistachios
1 TB butter
2 TB and 1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mild red chili powder (Chimayo type preferred)
Add butter, sugar, chili powder to a frying pan on medium
heat. Wait until the sugar crystallizes a little and then add the
pistachios. Toast for a few minutes, stirring constantly being very
careful since they burn easily. Make sure and blend it well so the
sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Poppy Seed Dressing (mix all in blender or food processor}
1/2 cup salad oil
2 tsp salt
2/3 cup lemon juice
2 tsp honey mustard
Scant 1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp poppy seeds (the blue ones
are fun!)
40 drops South African grapefruit essential and 25 drops bergamot
essential oil
Passion Sun Tea
1 gallon pitcher, glass preferred
10 to 12 bags Tazo Passion Tea
2 lemons sliced, Meyer lemons are really good in this
2 limes sliced
10 to 15 leaves pineapple sage, fresh if possible (can substitute
with mint)
20 leaves of lemon verbena, fresh if possible
8 packages stevia natural sweetener
1 cup bergamot honey (email me for the recipe: info@

No Fat and
So Tasty Too
Life is Not a
Mystery
By Clint G. Bridges
By Joy Lynn of Joyous Creations
L
ife is not a mystery…It is about the expansion of
consciousness. On an individual level, it’s about the
expansion of consciousness, and the mastery of personal
awareness.
The nature of existence is Being.
Most people believe that life happens to them from the outside
in. Those who understand know that Worlds are created from the
inside out.
I believe in the eternal authenticity of Human Soul. Do you?
You do not have A soul; you are not A soul. You ARE SOUL!
Different societies and cultures have their own definitions of
Sin as determined by their ideas of right and wrong, good and evil.
(i.e.: that which is ok in one culture may be taboo in another.) So,
what is the real definition of Sin? I believe it to be thusly: Sin is
simply ignorance of God.
The meaning of the term, “Original Sin” means (to me) that
we are all born into this world without knowledge of God.
There is no greater purpose in life than to seek God. And, if a
person will seek God with all their heart and all their mind, they
will eventually evolve into a loving Human Being. Isn’t that what
it’s all about?
We are God’s thoughts. We are the Spirit expressions of Soul
manifesting in physical reality. We are each one, a psychological
gestalt of energy.

As
we swing through spring into summer the colors of
the blooming tulips, lilies and iris’ are like eye candy.
Just as nature bursts into color, our bodies love it
when we eat colorful foods. Dark greens, vibrant sweet peppers
(yellow, green, orange, red)… Ahhhh and the smell of roasting
red and green chile at this time of year is just divine.
My clients love the variety of ways I introduce veggies into
their diets. One incredible way to do that is with vegetable soup.
Homemade broth makes a great base. You can use celery, tomatoes,
artichoke hearts, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, sweet onion, carrots,
peppers hot or mild (your choice), spinach, turnips, parsnip,
okay – you get the message. Add dried and fresh herbs, sea salt,
cayenne, cracked pepper, and dried seasoning works well too.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the veggies are cooked through.
As your beautiful creation is cooling the flavors are marrying.
To add a bit of protein and still be vegetarian-friendly, add
your favorite bean to the mix or drop in bits of firm tofu. Adding
cooked and drained ground turkey, chicken, bison, elk, very lean
beef will add a burst of flavor as well. You can add potato, barley,
quinoa, pasta or brown rice for a well balanced meal in a pot.
On a fresh and tasty note, chop and have at the ready - sliced
cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, carrots, radishes, sweet and hot
peppers, broccoli, cauliflower; boil and refrigerate eggs for an on
the go snack. Add whole grain cracker and voila! You have created
a nutritious, healthy, tasty lunch. And don’t forget the fresh fruit!

Lymphatic Massage,
Why Do I Need It
T
By Raquel Fontes, LMT #5620
he Lymphatic System is the first line of defense for our
immune system! Lymphatic massage is so effective in
helping your body detox that I teach my clients how to
do it on themselves! Like brushing your teeth everyday keep
your gums and teeth healthier, it is very beneficial to do a
lymphatic massage often to keep your system working well.
One of the main functions of the lymphatic system is to eliminate
foreign antigens and toxic chemicals. In today’s lifestyle, is very hard
to keep your body clean, even when you eat organic vegetables,
grains and meat!
The food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe
exposes our systems to hundreds of chemicals every day of our lives!
Deep Lymphatic Massage works directly on the lymphatic system
with slow, smooth and gently deep hand movements to improve
lymphatic fluid flow and empowers the system to remove toxic
chemicals out of the body.
We have 5 liters of the blood in our bodies and 40 liters of
lymphatic fluid! That is 8 times more lymph fluid! You can see why
it is so important to keep the lymph system flowing well.
As with Lymphatic Massage, Far Infra Red Sauna and Essential
Oil Treatments are powerful for detoxification. (I use doTerra®
essential oils with each treatment!)
30 minutes in the Far Infra Red Sauna can help with:
Pain
Allergies
Detox
Asthma
Bronchitis
Obesity
Fibromyalgia
Eczema
Acne/Scars
Skin Tone
Elasticity
Wrinkles Reduction
Chronic Infections
Low Blood Pressure
Essential Oils can help with emotional, physical, mental and
spiritual healing. I also use them for weight loss, mental clarity,
grounding, depression, sadness, muscle pain, stress, allergies,
headaches, etc.

Relax While
You Detox!
By Mickey Sutton, LMT #603 & Ina Stewart
H
ow does almost two hours of total relaxation sound
to you? What a wonderful way to relieve stress! Have
a back massage, rest with your ankles on the chi
machine (that rocks your legs side to side), and listen to some
smooth music. Then enjoy a Hot Body Wrap and finish off
with a Footbath. Many of our clients relax so deeply, they fall
asleep during the massage and the Wrap. Others enjoy a lovely
meditation.
Lose Inches, Improve Circulation, Decrease Pain: Each
body wrap is individually designed for your body’s needs
for detoxifying and inch loss, from full figure to petite, men
or women. Many people utilize it for losing inches, but the
Hot Body Wrap also helps improve circulation and can help
to alleviate pain in the joints and muscles. Because the body
wrap is snug (but not uncomfortable) and used in conjunction
with heat, the muscles and joints often feel better.
Improve Skin Texture with Detoxification: Impurities in
our bodies cause our skin to age faster and can also lead to
fatigue, and an increased amount of visible wrinkles! Our Hot
Body Wraps help get rid of impurities while helping to restore
the look of more youthful skin. Some of our clients report
that the texture of their skin is noticeably more radiant after
a Wrap. The wrap solution has been clinically demonstrated
(with ultrasonic photography) to nutritionally release fat out
of the cells. The fat is then naturally carried out of the body
through the normal elimination process.
May Madness Special: With each full Hot Body Wrap or
Two Half Wraps purchased, receive one Footbath FREE!
Check out our website www.hotbodywraps.com or call 505-8980198 for questions or an appointment. Mickey, LMT #603, has
been a licensed and insured massage therapist for over 19 years.
She also does chair massages on site at your business, or event.
The Perfect
Match
By Elizabeth Ferrell, CPDH
A
Connecting to
Creator
By Robin Gardner
s most of you know, my plans are to move to Costa
Rica by the end of this year. My real dilemma was in
finding the ideal person to take over my holistic dental
hygiene practice. It was very important to me that the new
owner give the same gentle, thorough cleanings that I have
become known for.
After many months of looking for a Dental Hygienist with
the same type of practice philosophy, gentle touch and holistic
attitude and way of life, my prayers have been answered. I have
found the “Perfect Match” for my clients and business. Not
one, but a team of two Dental Hygienists will be taking over
my practice.
I am so excited to introduce Doris Turcotte and Sandy
Ganshaw to Truly Alive readers and the Albuquerque
community. They will be taking Smiles for Miles to the next
level of professional, gentle holistic dental hygiene. This team
is awesome, and I am absolutely sure that they will be able to
connect with all of my current clients and be of great service to
the new future clients of Smiles for Miles as well.
The last nine years as owner of Smiles for Miles have been
a rich experience. I am truly thankful for each and every one
of my clients and all the knowledge and experience I’ve gained
through them. I will miss experiencing the hands-on clinical
portion of my career, but I am incredibly excited about the
coming adventures in promoting Dental Tourism to Costa
Rica.
In addition to my work as a Dental Tourism Concierge, my
plan (with a dear friend) is to open a Medical Tourism Bed
& Breakfast. I hope to see some of you in Costa Rica in the
future; taking advantage of the amazing savings on the high
quality dentistry or just to visit.
Spirituality of the Third Millennium by Roger G. Lanphear
is a new work written for all seeking to expand their horizons. It is
a Holy Text of instructive guidance that provides a fresh approach
to connecting with our Creator.
The knowledge is available now because humanity has risen to
a higher level of consciousness. Our minds are more able to receive
revelations that were inconceivable before. The transformative
tools in the book are specific for this present moment in time.
There is a simple concept that we may know; but always need
to remember…our thoughts, words and actions create our worlds.
By using the Universal Connection Meditation, we can become
more present with our Creator and more present with ourselves.
We can burn away negative patterns and recreate more loving and
positive habits.
Success is assured in all aspects of life when thoughts are
changed from lack to abundance; loss to gain. As we connect to
our Source more completely, we connect with loving relationships,
prosperity, good health and peace for humanity.
By availing ourselves to the beautiful, poetic Invocations in
Spirituality of the Third Millennium, we can create peace and
happiness in our own lives, and healing for our planet.
There is deep wisdom in the practices this new book offers.
The evolutionary Invocations can automatically reprogram your
beliefs (conscious and sub-conscious) that can interfere with your
health, prosperity, relationship and all other aspects of your life.
This process will lead us to become conscious co-creators with
our Divine Source…living in tune with our Essence and flowing
with the Oneness of the all that is. This message is timeless – the
benefits of developing our Universal Connection are limitless.
The Love Connection: I give you my love; I give you my
heart; I accept your love; I accept your heart. (An Invocation
from the book by Roger G. Lanphear.)

teeth ever had! 505-379-2131.

Astrological Forecast: May/June
John Clinton | Psychic Astrologer | 505-489-1122
30+ Years Experience Interpreting Stellar Events
Aries (3/21-4/19): In MAY, you could become a
driving force for others. They need some direction
from you. People are searching for clues, feeling
abused, and acting confused. Meanwhile, you jet to
the front of the pack. So, the Rams are chosen to lead others into
unexplored realms of the mind. Action is your creed this month.
Others can’t keep up as you disappear over the horizon. May becomes a time of self-focus as you picture the rewards to come
from your successes. JUNE sees a change in your activity. You
spend more time in one place, working to improve your financial
picture. You always challenge yourself, and your self-esteem rises
from a sense of accomplishment this month. Your impulsive nature is guided by a deep awareness of career issues. Your vigilance
could expose company waste or theft. Your plans find receptive
ears. Your future looks so bright you might need shades.
Taurus (4/20-5/20): MAY includes Cinco de
Mayo and for you, that should be celebrated as hedonistically as you legally can. Do be careful with your
reputation by remembering that small actions draw
huge misconceptions this month. To avoid the microscope that
you are under, you may tend to isolate to find peace. May 16th
could be a serious moment which disrupts your fun. There seems
to be a fear about permanence that follows a karmic encounter.
Let it be! After the first week of JUNE, you emerge from some
sleepy kind of place. A wholeness comes from your recent reflections on deep issues. 6/8 has you in a state of “knowing”. There
are high sources guiding you with deep promptings. The New
Moon of 6/22 is good for launching new projects. A new person
in your life has hidden conflicts. Logic combines with intuition
for you this month.
Gemini (5/21-6/21): Limiting your travel time is
highly advised for the month of MAY. I know that’s
like asking you to not breathe this month, but home
is actually your best place until June. While others
stay out, you tend to stay in. Your time is filled with distracting
details anyway. Soul searching is part of a spiritual quest during
your alone times. Your thirst for mental stimulus could actually be
quenched by this need to know your own soul. This subconscious
world has a reward. JUNE is far more productive in the physical
world than May will be. Your theme for June is shown by the
fascinating connections in your social world. A secret from May
is revealed before mid-June. Your words will travel beyond private
conversations this month. After 6/13, there can be treasures of a
sort for your earthly obligations. These treasures are partly from
your own inherent brilliance and partly from a need to know
which augments to your brilliance: and that is your treasure!
44
Cancer (6/22-7/22): This MAY month is generally about friendships, high ideals, money from
business, and nurturing as a two-way street. In the
actual ocean, crabs are nurturing their newborns and
planning a delightful summer near the beach. New starts are set in
motion. The Full Moon of 5/8 raises the tides and your passions.
You may feel transposed by what is to follow. Stay sane. Acting
on your feelings will be more accurate than responding to a misinformation infestation in May. JUNE has the Sun’s rays lighting
the hidden factors from the past year. Just as the Moon reflects
and softens sunlight so too will you reflect on these uncovered
matters. It’s always good to tie any loose ends during the 30 days
before your birthday. This clears out the cobwebs and prepares
your “house” for a year of new experiences. By clearing away old
mind stressors, you become a lean, clean, and serene machine as a
new yearly cycle begins, during and after June.
Leo (7/23-8/22): In MAY, you may not be in town
to read this, but be careful in your travels. If you
are, you will be safe even if you are drawn beyond
your usual territory. In pursuit of your desires, you
have crossed boundaries to a more expansive world. You succeed
in completing career responsibilities while saving time for leisure
freedom this month. Your date book is filled, if single, and if married, you are very happy. Cutting back on dairy products will keep
you healthier in May. JUNE sees the Sun tripping merrily along
through Gemini, until it hits a brick wall on 6/5. This event could
prove difficult, but easily resolved before the Full Moon of 6/8.
From the Sun’s viewpoint the Moon is always full. Let there be
merriment and dancing with friends for your light fills all with
love and vitality. 6/17 sees you awaking from a dream, drifting aimlessly through the morning, and celebrating that night.
6/21 finds you alone, but happily rooting out hidden truths. The
month ends on that note.
Virgo (8/23-9/22): Darn it! Mercury is in retrograde most of the month of MAY. This means a lack
of progress in the outer world which can work very
nicely for you. School day memories come flooding
back for some, while others climb spiritual trails to explore their
freedom needs. The career focus returns after 5/20. Incompetence
around you makes you long for a more perfect world, like Planet
Premium. Just continue guarding your health, working an honest
day, and doing well by others. As JUNE pulls back its curtains, you
see through a window that your good fortune has arrived. Love
and life feel just perfect around 6/6. 6/9 says to take a deep breath
before plunging into things. That works in diving and will work
for your new situations. You could become a worker hero as you
save the company from a major expense. Your mind is sharp as you
problem solve all month. The New Moon of 6/22 promises love
and passion, yet Luna also advises some personal upgrades. Enjoy!
Libra (9/23-10/22): MAY is harmonized by
schmoozing socially during your free time. You become deeply absorbed by another. This blob-like occurrence may require a willing surrender. What your
eye beholdeth is not the blob part, only the beauty and it’s depth.
May is a love story written in the stars. Your Scales become dysfunctional as you melt into a dreamy state of happiness. No scales
are needed since love, after all, is weightless. True love is obvious, as you know. Your sails are full. As JUNE opens, we find the
Libran focused on one person, one love, and the richness of life.
The Full Moon of 6/7 only peaks your continuing desire nature.
It seems that you got this way from recent mind expanding experiences. Others didn’t want to tip their personal scales with such
nonsense. Your career could take a hit during this time, but the
New Moon of 6/22 brings a refocused seriousness. Stay balanced
during this last tough week of June and all will be well.
Scorpio (10/23-11/21): Your water is rising as a
flood of activity and health concerns tends to inundate the shores of your deep, calm waters. The Full
Moon of 5/9 could bring out your hidden werewolf
tendencies. Let your partner do the talking lest someone notices
your fangs. In all truth, MAY is all about attaining an ideal stage
in your lifelong pursuits. Each Scorpion has his own pursuit.
Pleasing platitudes are plentiful and your plausible plans will plate
your playful places in platinum. JUNE has its earthly temptations
this first week. Love is all around you and passions build to the
Full Moon weekend of 6/6 and 6/7. Actually falling in love could
be the consequence. Money arrives around this same timeframe.
Despite all this, you have a depth of consciousness which can
make you feel alone in the midst of light heartedness. As summer
begins, you finally relax and float on the river of emotions. Be not
detracted from that mood by guilt trippers.
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21): Jupiter in Aquarius has you all wound up. How liberating for you.
Being free to bring people together is your joy this
month and next. In MAY you are also drawn to charitable causes. By freely helping another, your dreams become energized into actuality around 5/27. An influx of psychic energy will
connect your mind to the ocean’s depths and the far reaches of
outer space. MAY will be your most romantic month of the year.
Relationships is your key word. During JUNE, you may want to
wind things up by mid-month. That’s when Jupiter wants to turn
your attention inward. You have improved your outer world and
friendships; now, you reconnect to your high ideals and philosophy. That doesn’t mean you become a nun. It’s just a mental upgrade. This change is connected to your relationship. You tend
to pull away. 6/17 is ripe for good times. Maybe, just one last
frivolous night would be fine before your journey within begins.
Capricorn (12/22-1/19): Winter finally ends
for the mountain-climbing Seagoats. The trails feel
warmer despite their coolness. For you, this means
an awakening of your desire nature and a return to
progress in all your efforts. Life always seems to be an effort to
your karma-laden Sign. Your rewards are few, but richly enjoyed
after patient plodding along. A new home might tickle your neurons. May isn’t good for travel, but after that it’s fine until September. Keep your dry humor. JUNE 5th could have a small setback,
but you will be able to continue your climb gingerly after that.
Slow and steady wins the race unless it’s the 100 meter. Life is a
marathon. June is very romantic and quite creative. Despite the
expenses, your finances are strong. To prevent rapid aging, try to
see the whole picture. You could become absorbed by work and
health concerns. 6/22 could begin a workout routine which opens
the lungs, opens the mind, and opens the door to inner peace.
Aquarius (1/20-2/18): The perfect activity for
MAY is traveling with friends. Your world is expanding because you are seeking an understanding of life’s
higher meaning. Don’t forget that you live in a physical world with a physical body. Protect all your financial dealings ‘til summer’s end. Use logic. There are details at home which
need your attention after 5/13. You could be sensitive to certain
medicines after 5/29. Taking care of your body will allow you to
enjoy travel and romance in May. JUNE opens with a series of
hot conversations which fill your heart with glee. 6/2 brings love
and mail to gladden your day. 6/4 is perfect for romantic settings.
Friends fill the Full Moon weekend of 6/6. 6/8 may seem too tiring, physically. 6/9 is tricky. 6/17 is fun, but challenging. 6/21 is
about kids and family. Love abounds on this Father’s Day. 6/22
creates health awareness. A check up and supplements can keep
you healthy. June favors using your down time to start writing
that book.
Pisces (2/19-3/20): MAY is one of your favorite months. This year it is even better as you create
an abundance of self-esteem and cold, hard cash.
The Fish always have one fin in another world. That
world of dreams, fantasy and the subconscious is so attuned to
your natural desire for peace, love, and happiness. May builds to
a sense of wholeness and utter sublimity. This is a golden month
with a golden staircase to a new level of being. You are about to
scale the falls to a golden pond. JUNE has confusion which leads
to more confusion. You will need to research what you hear and
see to find the facts. This will break you out of a whirlpool effect.
June starts with a small love that leads to a higher love. Your sweetness will be needed by your friends during the final week of June.
By being an alert driver, you can prevent accidents near 6/25. It’s
still better for you to drive than another. Show gratitude for the
love in your life. This should be in the form of a clear message.
