n the “Roaring Twenties” this country enjoyed a post-war boom that saw the rapid development of consumer goods, and the invention of consumer debt (layaway), as well as advances in technology (the “golden age of radio.”) The overall good feeling of prosperity was reflected in the popular music of that time...jazz. That era ended abruptly on October 29, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday, as stock prices on Wall Street collapsed. Sound familiar? Eighty years later, we’ve ridden a similar wave of euphoria. Enjoying advances in broadband, electronics, and nanotechnologies. Consumer spending reached magnificent levels and credit card debt mushroomed. We were living the “Roaring 00s” until $2 trillion in paper wealth evaporated this past summer. For many Americans, their world was turned topsy-turvy. The illusion of wealth evaporated with plummeting home values and shinking retirement accounts. Homes shifted from being assets to being liabilities as many found themselves “upside down” on their mortgage. What’s next? What are the lessons for each of us to learn? The valuation of publicallytraded companies changes day-by-day, even hour-to-hour. Is this “perception of value” the same thing as real value? What do you consider valuable? In the upcoming year, we have a golden opportunity to reevaluate what we consider valuable. In the eyes of God, each and every person is an “asset” and has infinite value. We each bring our unique talents to the planet. When we align our abilities with the highest good for all, we intuitively undertake right action, and incredible things are possible.

eedless to say, there has been a lot of turmoil these past months as we’ve seen the stock market plummet, many businesses fail, and faced the uncertainty of having a new president. Through it all I have been struck by the notion that if we base our happiness on external factors, then we are vulnerable to the turbulence that lately has been surrounding us. However, if we base our happiness on what truly matters in our lives-the people we care about, who care about us, then we are less likely to be thrown by our external circumstances. This past Thanksgiving my family and I had a wonderful reunion in Phoenix, where three of my brothers reside with their families. Being one of seven children and part of a close family has always meant a lot to me. One of my brothers said it best when he recently stated that when we were growing up, it was always family first. It was not the parents or the kids, who were considered to be most important. Rather it was all of us as a unit. My father always stressed how we were what truly mattered to him and that material things were just not that important. He lived by his values and when one of us would have a car accident, he would always ask us if we were all right. When reassured that we were, he would then say that he was not at all concerned about the car. He would tell us that cars can be fixed or replaced, but that we could not be. What was so amazing about his attitude was that my parents did not have a lot of money at the time and paying the insurance deductible and dealing with rising insurance costs was not always easy. During the Thanksgiving break one of my nephews, who is almost seven, saw a homeless person for the first time in his life when he was with his family in the car. He said “I’ve never seen a poor person before. I’m not poor. I have family.” We were all so touched by his understanding that in being part of a family, he had wealth and security.

I’m sure that those who’ve lost jobs and 401Ks are challenged by their circumstances and may feel discouraged, but in the face of adversity we often discover our greatest strengths. If you know someone who is struggling, do your best to encourage them. You’ll find that giving encouragement will not only help them, but you will feel better too.

I hope you will count your blessings and focus on what truly matters during these turbulent times. I encourage you to look at what you do have control over, which is yourself and your attitude about what is going on around you. If we can take care of our internal state and remind ourselves of what is truly important, then what is going on in the external world will have less of a negative impact on our lives.

Have a Blessed New Year,

Love & Light,

Tony Cecala

HolisticForum What can I expect during a Reconnective Healing® session? Everyone’s experience with Reconnective Healing is unique. If you’re lucky, your healing will come in the form you anticipated; if you’re really lucky, your healing will come in a form you haven’t even dreamed of. Healings can come in all forms and can elicit a wide variety of responses during the session. Clients can experience a wide variety of sensations during a healing, or sometimes no sensation at all. Even with the same client, the healing experience varies from one session to the next. Jim Nippert, Reconnective Healing Practitioner™, was trained personally by Dr. Eric Pearl, the founder of the technique. Please contact Jim at 469-877-6578 or email: jim@jwnippert.com Learn more at www.TheReconnection.com

A foundation of all Feng Shui practices and analysis is the Bagua Map. This magical square contains the mystery and answers of the I Ching, a universe of information. Each sector of the octagon shaped Bagua Map, called a trigram, gua, or kua, has a magnetic direction, a number, a color, an element, a family member, corresponding organs body parts and body systems. Each also represents personality traits, businesses and industries, and is represented cyclically as these energies move in predictable directions over time. Feng Shui uses the Mysteries of the Bagua Map to analyze and diagnose a property to identify precisely what is affecting you, and how to make the changes that can open opportunities for a better life. Feng Shui specialist, Karen Ann Tompkins, has worked in hundreds of homes and businesses.

What is CranioFascial Integrative Therapy? This therapy recognizes the importance of the integration of the fascial and CranioSacral systems and works to gently release restrictions that may be causing pain, or problems in the immune, nervous, digestive, endocrine or other body systems. Using a very light touch the therapist works to correct the origin of the pain. It has been used to successfully correct infertility, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, ADD/ADHD, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, arthritis, and pain in any area of the body, including migraines. Frankie Burget is a licensed Occupational Therapist and Fellow with the American College of Wellness who has practiced in the DFW area for over 20 years.

Please contact her at 817571-8135 or frankie@windsongtherapy.com. Please see bodywork section for more information. How can CranioSacral Therapy help my life? Whether your problems are structural, organic, emotional or neurological, this powerful therapy can facilitate your healing on all levels at once. Its many modes include gentle manipulation of the cranio-sacral system surrounding the central nervous system, including membranes of the skull to relieve any compressions that can cause a myriad of symptoms in the head; using energy via the fascia to restore structural integrity of the body and unwind tension patterns; and using energy combined with positioning and dialoguing to release stored energy from physical and emotional traumas. Best of all, most clients enjoy a much deeper relaxation than with massage. Sandy Hanne, R.M.T, has helped thousands of clients change their lives using CranioSacral Therapy. An advanced practitioner, she has studied extensively with Dr. John Upledger, founder of the technique. 469-438-8634.

What is Iridology and how can it help me? It has been said that the eye is the mirror of the soul, and that it discloses the different mental and physical conditions of the body; we generally speak of the ‘vivid clear eye’ of the well person, of the ‘anguishing, glaring eye’ of the consumptive; of the ‘broken eye’ of the dead-sick. Various nervous diseases are disclosed by the decreased mobility of the pupil; frequent disturbances of the sight point to diseases of the kidneys (diabetes), as does also the falling out of the eye-lashes. By analyzing the iris of the eye, it is possible to determine the condition of your body by reflex markings found in the corresponding fibers of the iris. Iridology analyzes the iris of the eye to determine the cause of your ill health, in what state it is in, how it arrived there, how to free your body of it, and most of all, when you have freed it. To help you find out the root of your health problem call Iridologist, Edna Craven, DC, BCNP, BCI at 972-256-0004 / dreecraven@earthlink.net (29 yrs. experience). 10% discount with this ad.

A Natural Approach to Healing All Aspects of Adult Care

Save up to 25% on your electric bill while helping to save the environment

“Over $16 billion dollars of electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the U.S.” —U.S. Dept. of Energy “The adequacy of North America’s electricity system will decline unless changes are made soon...demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next ten years by 19% in the U.S., but confirmed power capacity will increase by only 6%.” —North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC)

Discover the savings that thousands of satisfied customers are enjoying!

THE PROBLEM

Up to 25% of the billable electricity consumed in homes and businesses is non-productive and unusable. Most AC motors operate at 80% efficiency under a full load... the efficiency drops dramatically at lower loads. This non-productive energy wastes money and also shortens the life of inductive equipment such as motors, HVAC equipment, pumps and major appliances.

KVAR® EC Advantages • No need to change your electrical company • Power savings are immediate and average up to 25% • Increases motor and appliance life • 5 year warranty • 25 year life expectancy • U.S. Patented, NASA Tested, UL Listed, CSA Approved, Cleaner & Greener Certified, RoHS Certified

THE SOLUTION

KVAR® EC fine tunes electrical systems to reduce non-productive and wasted electricity, giving you cost-effective energy!

TESTIMONIALS I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the KVAR box. The neighborhood I live in is all electric so my electricity bill is outrageous. I was really excited to try the KVAR box not only to lower my monthly electric bill but as a first step in going “green”. After the quick and simple installation I anxiously awaited the next months bill. I was so pleased to find that my bill had gone down substantially, from $406 to $238. I am excited to see my next bill! I would recommend this product to everyone, not only is it good for your pocket book it’s good for the planet! —Angelee B.,Providence TX The power consumption in my home has been drastically reduced since installing the KVAR unit. My last three bills were down from an average of $130 per month to $93, $73,and $77 for FEB 08 MAR 08 and APRIL 08 and is currently on schedule for about $77 for the current month half way thru the month of May. I installed the unit in Feb 08. My home is over 30 years old and has a three year old A/C compressor and a 7 year old heating unit. I have several neighbors who have decided to put one on their house after hearing my results. I am anxious to see what savings they will get also! —Bill W., Carrollton Texas My daughter and I have two homes for the elderly which were built only two years apart. Although they are approximately the same square footage the electricity cost was approximately $450 or more per month in our newer home. I tried to get Wisconsin Public Service to do an audit, but they refused. When we were presented with the KVAR option, I felt we had nothing to lose. Since the unit was installed, we saved more than the cost of the unit in the first few months. We felt the savings to be substantial enough to install another unit in our first home and see what our savings will be. —Cathy Fosick, Owner/Manager, Cedar Creek Manor I had the KVAR system installed at my 2500 sq. ft. residence in Yucca Valley, CA in mid-August of 2007. My first bill after installation was over $100 less than the previous bill. The next bill was the first one that was entirely on the KVAR system, versus the same billing period last year, I used 29.69% less units of energy. That’s a lot of savings! With the economy being the way it is this year, the KVAR system may be the best financial decision I’ve made all year. —Stephen Armstrong, AFG Realty

MSG, by any other name, is still MSG? How Food Additives Slip Into Your Diet and What To Do About It: Part 1

here are tens of thousands of food additives, some growing in your backyard, and some only derived from chemical processes having nothing to do with a food’s natural state. The makers of food additives and food processors are increasingly clever in how they manipulate and name these additives, which means toxins continue to slip into your diet—often unbeknownst to you. In part one of this two-part series, we will discuss types of additives and focus on a controversial group of MSG-containing additives. In Part 2, we will discuss how these additives made their way into top-selling organic products, onto the shelves at health food stores, and into your kitchen.

Monosodium Glutamate, aka MSG! Autolyzed yeast extract! Hydrolyzed vegetable protein!

In the world of nutrition, those are fighting words. Few common food additives come under the scrutiny and raise as much argument as these. Producers and groups of scientists say concerns about these additives are unfounded and the people concerned are phobic. Other scientists and an enormous group of consumers supply opposing research and consider the additives toxic poisons and the producers a public health menace. However, before we delve into the details of this Japanese discovery that took the processed food industry by storm, let’s discuss additives in general.

Three Groups of Food Additives

With the truly natural additives, meaning those that a knave with the simplest of tools could gather: sea salt, a sprig of rosemary, cinnamon stick, and Madagascar vanilla beans, for example—few people will question the source or take up arms regarding the reason for or the side-effects of adding those ingredients to food. With the group officially titled “artificial” additives—those concocted with a savory melange from the Periodic Table (i.e. small pinch of lead, tiny splash of mercury)—there is also little debate about the issues related to their use (at least there is little debate in holistic health circles). The details of the artificial additive group are often proprietary trade secrets and are summed up as “artificial flavor” on the ingredient list. Those additives can be determined safe for human consumption (in certain quantities, mind you) by government

agencies (the same government that allowed for negative amortization loans? It’s buyer beware, baby!) and the companies that sell them; but anyone conscious about what goes in their body would probably skip the debate, place their bets elsewhere, and simply avoid products containing them. Then there is the third group of additives—those that cause more confusion and indigestion than efforts to predict the current movement of the Dow Jones: the legally-natural additives. The argument used with great frequency by those benefiting from the use of controversial, “natural” food additives is: they are naturally occurring in foods we eat. However, if you pause to ponder, the next questions that may pop in your mind could be: • In what proportion and quantity are they found in those natural sources and are they added to other foods in those exact proportions? • Are there complimentary elements in those natural sources that help negate potential negative side-effects, prevent absorption, etc.? • Just because it is found naturally occurring in foods, does that we mean should consume extra servings of that ingredient? Many poisons are found naturally occurring in foods. Amygdalin, for example, a cyanide and sugar compound that degrades into hydrogen cyanide when metabolized, is found in apple seeds.

by Allie Chee

truly natural state and adding them to foods in which they do not occur naturally? Deciphering the answer to that question will not qualify us for Mensa; and even those of us who were held back in the first grade can take a pretty good stab at it. But for those with a shadow of a doubt, here it is. “Natural flavor” and artificial flavors are added to food that is otherwise lackluster at best, or nasty in appearance and foul in flavor at worst, so that it is rendered acceptable or even titillating to the senses (think “jonesing for another bag of BBQ flavored cardboard”), and in the hopes that we will buy it by the train-load, which we do.

A Moving Target

So let’s say you’re a person who is not fond of purposely digesting toxic chemicals and commonly known allergens, even in minute doses. Does simply shopping at a “health food” store offer sufficient protection? Does buying certified organic products protect you? What about ordering just a salad in fast-food restaurants? For answers to these questions and a surprising look at how controversial food additives end up in places you’d least expect them, read Part 2 of this article in your next issue of the Holistic Networker. Allie Chee is a Certified Chinese Medicine Nutritionist and can be contacted at: question@askalliechee.com

• The body can metabolize and detoxify very small doses of certain naturally occurring poisons. But do we want to sprinkle an extra dose of them on our oatmeal every morning?

WEB RESOURCES

And finally, most poignant,

MSG: a neurotoxic flavor enhancer

• In what manner are they isolated and does that change the effect they have on the body versus consuming them in their truly naturally occurring state? When first used in Japan, a primary source of glutamate in foods was a broth prepared by boiling kombu (a sea vegetable). That is not at all how the chemically derived MSG and MSG-containing foods found in processed foods are prepared in factories today. • What is the purpose of isolating these “naturally occurring elements” from their

Rolfing® is a process for organizing the structure of our bodies so that we function more effectively. Over the years, our bodies react to trauma, both physical and emotional, by shortening and twisting. This intensifies our struggle with the force of gravity, which results in reduced freedom of movement, an increased likelihood of chronic pain, poor posture and a lessened sense of aliveness and self-esteem. During the basic Rolfing series of ten sessions, the Rolfer manipulates the muscles and fascia (a connective tissue) to free up those places where the client’s structure is constricted or held out of balance. The goal of Rolfing is to organize the client’s physical structure so that his/ her struggle with gravity is minimized. In addition to the physical changes of better balance, more freedom of movement, less stress, better posture and less chronic pain, Rolfing also affects your emotional, mental and spiritual realms. As you feel more supported by your legs, you view the world from a more secure position. You feel an increased sense of self-esteem, and the energy flow of your body is more opened and balanced.

Bioenergetic Analysis is a somatic psychotherapy based on a developmental, analytic approach. It utilizes active involvement of the body in psychotherapeutic interventions. In Bioenergetics, we work with grounding, breathing and character structure. Grounding relates to one’s emotional security and personality authority. When we stay in our heads and deny the experience of our bodies, we lose contact with our internal sense of support. Breathing vitalizes and energizes our bodies. Our breathing patterns reveal defensive blocks in the body through muscular constrictions. Breathing increases our capacity for feeling, our energy level and our access to pleasure. Character structure indicates the manner in which we limit the energy flow in our bodies and is indicative of the coping patterns we used to fend off the vicissitudes of growing up. Understanding our character structure gives insight into our defensive posturing, our personal histories and suggests a possible course of therapy. “Bioenergetic Analysis combines the work of the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems”...Alexander Lowen, Founder

If you believe that you could benefit from either of these processes, or if you would like to experience in depth personal growth through a personalized combination of both disciplines, contact Chuck Lustfield, (214) 902-8900 • www.rolfingdallasfortworth.com

Empower Your Mind with Alpha Brain Wave Technology “Wants & Needs”

This audio program addresses sugar cravings, portion control, appreciation and respect for the body, and healthy food choices. It also is designed to develop a heightened awareness of the distinction between desires and wants and real physiological and emotional needs and hunger. Once we become aware of our true needs, we no longer mindlessly use food to meet needs other than our physiological needs for nutritional nourishment. One CD $19.95

“Self Love” This audio program contains guided imagery that allows for the opportunity to get in touch with different aspects of the self that may be affecting habits and behavior outside your conscious awareness. In this recording, you are guided to use your imagination to meet the inner guide or higher self, the inner child and the inner teen. By acknowledging these aspects of yourself, accepting them and then bringing them together in harmony, you can then have the experience of self-acceptance and self-love. One CD $19.95

“Mind Mint” This audio program provides an experience where you can gain awareness of thoughts and beliefs that are operating beneath the surface and are affecting your reality. As you listen you go on a metaphorical journey to the garden of your mind where negative thought “weeds” are encountered and replaced by healthy and positive seeds of joy, peach and well-being. One CD $19.95

“Stress Solutions” This audio program explains the mechanism of the stress response and how it affects your physiology. Following are five easy-to-learn exercises that are clinically proven to counter the stress response and can be easily integrated into your healthy lifestyle. One CD $19.95

“Go Grab Your Shoes” This audio program is an upbeat exercise companion; the latin beat combined with classical guitar contains music along with positive affirmations that have the effect of strengthening the will and motivating you to exercise. One CD $19.95

“Sweet Dreams”

Food for Thought (6 CD set) How Does It Work? The Food for Thought CDs empower you to connect with you inner resources to experience comfort and healing. Users can expect immediate relaxation interruption of the stress response, which when prolonged, can cause and/or exacerbate illness. Users can expect an enhanced sense of balanced wellbeing and positive outlook with one exposure, building after repeated use. These CDs incorporate original Healing Music & Sounds from Nature, they contain Linguistic Specific Content and they utilize Binaural Audio to entrain Alpha Brain Waves. The Binaural Audio works as follows: your brain learns best when you are relaxed and alert and in what scientists call an “Alpha State.” It is often called the “super learning” state. When tones at slightly different frequencies are played separately, one into each ear, the difference is perceived as low frequency pulses or “beats.” When the beat frequency corresponds to the “Alpha” range, the brain resonates to it; the brainwaves follow toward that “Alpha” frequency and the brain naturally relaxes into an “Alpha” state, creating a mind-body sense of relaxation and peace. When you listen to these CDs through stereo headphones, the soothing music and nature sounds, in combination with the binaural effect, induce sympathetic frequencies of desired brainwave activity. This helps you quickly reach a peaceful and receptive state in which your subconscious mind is most open to new ideas, new insights and positive change. Sound Science The binaural beat effect was first reported as long ago as the nineteenth century and has been of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing. The “frequency-following response” was first identified in EEG research (Smith, Marsh & Brown, 1975) and is today the subject of widespread study at major universities (including Rutgers University, University of Pennsylvania and the University of Sussex) as well as institutions exploring the frontiers of mind-body medicine. HOW IS It Backed By Science? This treatment is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as an effective and safe mind body therapy. Success has been documented in multiple scientific studies: Harvard Medical School with cardiac patients -found that those that listened to guided imagery had a significant decrease in pain, stress and anxiety and left the hospital two days sooner than those that did not use these therapies. Blue Shield of CA study for surgical patients -showed that patients who listened experienced less pain from surgery, had a reduction in anxiety, and saved the company between $700 - $1200 per patient due to reduced hospital stay and fewer complications. Cleveland Clinic study of hospitalized patients showed those that listened had a significant reduction in pain, stress and anxiety and left the hospital 2 days sooner on average than those that did not listen. Visualization has been used by athletes for years—golfers, batters, swimmers, Olympians, and many others to improve their performance. Ellen Chernoff Simon, M.S., M.Ed., is a Texas State Board Licensed Professional Counselor, a Fellow of the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pain Management, a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and she is certified by the Academy for Guided Imagery.

This is an audio program designed to lull to sleep. The guided meditation is accompanied by the beautiful music of the Brahms’ lullaby. One CD $19.95

Keys to the Vault Unlocking Your Power

ver wonder why you commit to a project that you know is important to your well-being, success and happiness, yet you never complete it? Have you ever noticed what happens when you decide to achieve an important goal, yet you seem to sabotage your efforts by creating one block after another or act in a manner entirely contrary towards achieving those goals? The answer to these dilemmas can be found in linking the scientific fundamentals of modern physics and neurological functions understood by western medicine. Modern physics, referred to as quantum electrodynamics “QED” tells us that all living and nonliving matter is in a constant state of vibration. The vibration of every cellular structure in your body generates a very specific energy frequency range, and transmits this as information much like a TV or radio station sends out signals in space. Over the last 25 years, scientists from the top engineering schools in Russia have successfully demonstrated the human spinal system to be the “antenna” by which this signal or information can be both transmitted and received. Additionally, the brain functions like a TV or radio transmitter with one very important difference. Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, every thought and idea (both positive and negative) that we create in our brain is transmitted out into the earth’s energy field. In the simplest terms, the concept that thoughts (energy) are things is the underlying basis of QED and the metaphysical concepts of manifestation. If you have any doubts that the energy of our thoughts are real, all you need to do is recognize that the clothing you wear, the car you drive and the home you live in all started as a single thought in someone’s mind. So what powers and directs your antenna system to generate these signals? Western medicine tells us it is the brain through the conscious and subconscious minds. The two minds are very different. The conscious mind handles day to day existence and perceives the physical world around us. It analyzes, evaluates, chooses, directs and judges; it decides on a course of action based upon immediate desires and needs.

The subconscious mind controls all vital processes like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and other autonomic functions. Never sleeping, it constantly records and stores all your experiences, creating and perceiving your world according to these experiences. It is thousands of times more powerful in directing your behavior because it is subtle and is rarely recognized by the conscious mind. The subconscious mind is also responsible for creating your “self talk”, and is responsible for shaping your emotions. It evaluates and judges what your conscious mind believes, often rendering beliefs that are contrary to those of the conscious mind. The existence of conflicting beliefs between the conscious and subconscious mind greatly diminishes your ability to consistently manifest your desires because you are literally sending out “mixed signals”. Imagine yourself ordering lunch in a restaurant. You ask the waitress to bring you a tuna sandwich. A second later, you call her back and ask her to bring you a turkey sandwich, or maybe you just want a bowl of chili. She glares at you in frustration wishing you would just make up your mind. The science of manifestation and the operation of universal laws become very simple once you “make up your mind” by addressing conflicting belief systems. Conflicting beliefs also have the effect of causing conflict on all levels of existence - from the physical to the emotional and spiritual planes. You will find yourself anxious, unsettled and/or engaging in patterns of self sabotaging behavior. Conversely, you may achieve what you think you want, but never be fully satisfied or truly happy. So how do you know if both minds are in agreement? All you have to do is look around yourself - is your life going the way you want it to? Do you have the success, satisfaction and happiness you desire? Are you seeing repeating negative patterns such as constant financial issues, failed relationships, chronic illnesses and the like? Do you feel trapped, depressed and powerless in your circumstances? Chances are that your subconscious and conscious minds are at odds.

by Dr. Gary Berman PhD, NMD, DC

The keys to opening the vault and unlocking the power of the subconscious are as follows: 1. identify the core subconscious beliefs that are directing your behavior 2. reprogram the beliefs of the subconscious mind to align and unify it with the conscious mind, and 3. understand that the quality and consistency of your thoughts are directly responsible for the effectiveness and accuracy of your ability to manifest your desires. Although there are numerous schools of thought and methods that have been developed over the past several decades that offer techniques to reprogram the subconscious mind that have enjoyed varying degrees of effectiveness, the real challenge lies in identifying the specific subconscious beliefs that are subtly driving your behavior. Using my psychic ability, I have found working with patients over the last 14 years that many of the subconscious beliefs/fears that block an individual’s success can be easily accessed, understood and replaced with beliefs that support and serve the individual dreams and desires. I urge you to start today with the first key — to identify your core subconscious beliefs — look around you for hints and then start the journey inward to access your own source of knowledge to find your answers. You have the keys to the vault — it is up to you to decide whether you are ready to unlock the power of your subconscious mind and truly live the life you desire.

Inflammation: The Good the Bad and the Ugly (Part I)

By Dr. David G. Lancaster, DO, ABHM

Inflammation is often associated with painful swelling, red irritation, and generalized achiness. The literal meaning of the word comes from the Latin root, inflamatio, to set on fire. It has negative connotations, and rightfully so, but in the proper situation it is undoubtedly beneficial. In the first part of this article we will define inflammation and its causes, and then in part II we will discover natural ways to control inflammation that has gone awry.

When we cut ourselves, the cells surrounding the cut immediately release special chemical signals called cytokines. Cytokines attract white blood cells (WBC) and other cells that fight infection. Blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow and then become leaky so that blood products and WBCs can easily flow through the vessel walls to the surrounding tissue. This is what produces the swelling, red coloration, pain, and warmth. When the WBCs arrive, they release more inflammatory mediators called interleukins. Interleukins create a toxic environment for invading bacteria. Platelet cells in our blood also respond by forming a clot to stop the bleeding. Over several days the inflammatory reaction begins to wane and the cut heals. The downside of inflammation is when it is sustained. The inflammatory chemicals that fight infection end up damaging arteries, joints, and other organs within the body. Chronic inflam-

mation is a pathological condition seen as a major factor in many common disorders afflicting Americans. These include arthritis, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, strokes, diabetes, and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dementia. One of the foremost causes of chronic inflammation is the standard American diet (SAD) which includes a high ratio of saturated and trans fats, along with

simple sugars. The SAD diet produces free radicals which are highly reactive molecules that steal electrons from other molecules. This process results in cell damage. A way to understand how one free radical can cause so much damage is to picture a football field covered with mouse traps lined up side by side and end to end. The traps represent healthy

image courtesy Wikipedia.com

We have all experienced inflammation when we cut ourselves or have become sick. Many people are walking around in a chronic inflammatory state without being aware of it. Inflammation is essential because without it we could not survive, but when it becomes chronic, it is detrimental to our health.

cells. On each trap lies a ping pong ball, which represents an electron. Now picture one ping pong ball, a free radical, thrown into the field of mouse traps. What happens next is a chain reaction where thousands of mouse traps begin to snap, and as they do, more ping pong balls (newly created free radicals) are thrown about setting off more traps. As the traps are set off they become damaged. There are many reasons why our diet is so poor, but the main reason is out of convenience. To increase the shelf life of food, oils are altered by hydrogenation. Hydrogenated fats were first commercialized by Procter and Gamble who invented â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criscoâ&#x20AC;? in 1911. This is a process where hydrogen atoms are added to a fat to make it saturated. The end result is a fat that is solid at room temperature and can last longer without going rancid. The saturated fats, animal fats and trans fatty acids all promote inflammation and when consumed in excess have been linked to cholesterol, heart disease, vascular dementia, diabetes, arthritis, and obesity. As a general rule if a fat is solid at room temperature it should be avoided. Just like bacon grease will clog up a kitchen sink, these fats will harden in the arteries that supply the brain, heart, and other organs. A saturated fat has a hydrogen atom attached to each carbon. Sources of saturated fats include animal fat, tropical oils, and processed fats. These fats are precursors to inflammation and should be limited in our diet. A monounsaturated fat has only one double bond between carbon atoms. These fats are less stable than saturated fats and generally liquid at room temperature. Sources include olive oil, almonds, hazelnuts, avocado, and canola oil. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one double bond between carbon atoms. This structure allows them to be liquid at room temperature. There are two types of polyunsaturated fats that our body is

Winter 2009 27

not able to make. These are the omega-3 and omega-6 fats. The omega-3 fats help fight inflammation, whereas the omega-6 fats can promote inflammation. The benefits of omega-3 fats were first discovered when scientists began to study why Eskimos, who consume large quantities of fat and meat, did not die of heart disease at the rate that Americans did. They concluded that their diet, rich in omega-3 fats, was the reason for their low cardiovascular disease rate. Not long ago we consumed plenty of omega-3 fats in our diet at a ratio of one omega-3 to every four omega-6 (1:4). Now the ratio is 1:25. The reason for the decline in omega-3 fats in our diet is because of the increase in hydrogenated fats. Also, our meat and eggs used to contain omega-3 fats when these animals were free range and ate their natural diet of grass and grains. Now, even our cattle and chickens eat a poor quality diet which is highly processed, and thus no longer a source of omega-3 fats. Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are named according to where the first double bond occurs. The omega-3 fats have the first double bond after the third carbon atom, and omega-6 fats have the first double bond after the sixth carbon atom. Sources of omega-3 fats include cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines, cod, herring, and also flaxseed, walnuts, pumpkinseeds and dark green leafy vegetables. Sources of omega-6 fats include corn, safflower, soybean, cottonseed, grape seed, peanut, and sunflower oils. Trans fats are created by taking a polyunsaturated fat, usually an omega-6, and adding more hydrogen atoms. They are used in processed foods to increase shelf life. They are found in cookies, crackers, icing, potato chips, and margarine. Trans fats are usually solid at room temperature and pro-inflammatory. They should be avoided. It is interesting to see the Eastern philosophical patterns reverberating in science. The idea of good and bad intertwined in a balanced dance can

be applied to practically every aspect of life including science and health. Inflammation in the short term is essential to life because it protects us and helps heal wounds. Within the positive features of acute inflammation there is the negative aspect of pain and discomfort at the site of injury. When the balance of inflammation is overturned and becomes chronic the result is disease. Many Americans, through a poor diet and processed fats, help fuel the flames of chronic inflammation. The inflammation that was once beneficial begins to damage cells, tissues, and organs within our body. In Part II of this article (published in the next issue) we will discuss diet along with mind-body strategies to help quench the smoldering embers of chronic inflammation and restore the balance of health.

Finding Big Love Is Possible At Any Age By Arielle Ford

To manifest your soul mate here are the ten top things to do and remember:

s it your dream to find a soul mate? A life-partner who will love, cherish and adore you?

1. Be the loving person that you are. Find ways to express more love to everyone in your life.

As someone who didn’t meet and marry my soul mate until I was 44, I learned a lot along the way about what does and doesn’t work in the world of love and romance.

2. Live in the knowingness that you are in a loving, committed relationship.

Here’s what I know for sure: finding true love is possible for any one at any age if you’re willing to prepare your self, on all levels, to become a magnet for love.

3. Live that truth every day as you savor the waiting for your beloved to arrive. 4. Create a “vision map” of your romantic vision and look at it daily.

This wonderful Universe of ours is set up to deliver the people and things we draw to us that our consistent with our personal belief system. If you don’t believe you will ever find the ONE, then, guess what? You get to be right…you probably won’t. If, however, you learn to believe that the ONE is not only out there but is ALSO LOOKING FOR YOU, then true love can be yours. When I was in my early forties I decided to manifest my soulmate using everything I had ever learned about manifestation, psychology, spirituality, and the Law of Attraction. My intentions became crystal clear while I simultaneously cleared out the clutter in my house and in my heart. I learned and invented techniques, rituals, visualizations and prayers that helped me prepare my body, mind, spirit and home for an amazing relationship. And they worked. I met my husband, Brian, who has exceeded all of my desires and expectations. He was and is everything I ever wished for. What if I told you that it’s not your job to know how your soul mate is going to appear? What if I told you it’s only your job to be ready, willing and open to love. Think about it this way: you really don’t know where air comes from but you do believe that it’s always there for you, right? The same is true for love. It’s there for you. It’s always been there for you. You just need to remember the love that you are and once you do, the Universe will deliver to you the perfect soul mate.

5. Write a list of the most important qualities your soul mate will possess. 6. Heal your heart of any past hurts that will prevent you from magnetizing big love.

The basic Law of Attraction states that you will attract to you those things that match your state of belief. Believing that your soul mate is out there is critical to the preparation of manifestation. I believe that the Universe is always mirroring back to us our beliefs about our selves and the world. If we believe the world is a loving and friendly place, then most of the time that will be our experience. But, if we believe the world is a chaotic, stressful and fearful place, then that becomes our reality. So, believing and knowing that your soul mate is out there is the most important part of the formula. Prior to meeting Brian ten years ago, I had a daily ritual in which I would light several candles at sunset, put on my favorite CD of Gregorian chants and sit in my big, cozy chair. With my eyes closed I would drop into the feeling of remembering the joy of having my soul mate in my life. I would experience these wonderful feelings in every part of my body knowing that he was on the way. There were days when the thought that he was very late did cross my mind but I would just let those thoughts go and get back into a state of grace…feeling and knowing that his arrival was assured.

7. Clear out the clutter in your home and create space for your beloved (especially in your closets). 8. Create an altar in the relationship corner of your home. 9. Listen to your intuition to take action when opportunities present themselves. 10. Fall in love with yourself. Know that you are loveable. Big love is possible for any one of any age if you are willing to become a magnet for love. Continue to live each day in the knowingness that you are in a loving, committed relationship as you savor the waiting for your beloved to arrive. Arielle Ford has spent the past 20 years living and promoting consciousness through all forms of media. She is the author of THE SOULMATE SECRET: Manifest the Love of Your Life with the Law of Attraction (Harper One). Arielle lives in La Jolla, CA with her husband.

Interview: Ralph H. Blum Author of The Book of Runes Q: What are Runes?

A: First I’d have to say that the Runes are a gift from the ancients that have given me my life’s work and enabled me to be of service to millions of people who I will never meet. I am heartened by the knowledge that this oracular system, this “compass for conduct,” has served so many in such profound and useful ways. So what are the Runes? 24 letters of a two thousand year old Western alphabet, carved on a set of clay stones, with the 25th stone left blank to represent the Unknowable, the Divine. These 25 Runes represent most of life’s major themes: Joy, Partnership, Disruption, Standstill, Movement, Defense, Journey, Fertility, Growth, Harvest, the Divine . . . “This is the only alphabet I know,” Margaret Mead once said, “that goes A-B-C-D . . . X-Y-God…” Q: How did you discover the Runes?

A: It’s more like they discovered me. I was first introduced to the Runes by a remarkable woman in Redhill, Surrey, while doing research in England. I took a set home with me to Connecticut and promptly forgot about them. Then one memorable night after my wife had just left me, I was dusting books in the library when the bag fell off the shelf into my hand. I actually remember saying, out loud, “Okay, I need to know what order you come in.” So not only was I broke, depressed, out of a job—I was now talking to stones in the middle of the night. And that’s just the beginning of the story. Q: You’ve described the Runes as an Oracle. What is an Oracle?

A: My favorite definition came from an eccentric old codger who called the Runes “God’s e-mails!” which is not as silly as it appears, if you go to the Latin and find “oraculum” defined as “a divine announcement.”

Oracles come in a wild variety of forms, all of which are meant to provide useful information. Oracle readers have been known to interpret the cracks that appear on tortoise shells or bricks heated in a fire; patterns on water, shapes of clouds, the formation of birds in flight. The oracular text known as the I Ching, or Book of Changes, was so precious to Confucius that he once said, “If I had 50 more years to live, I would spend them studying the I Ching.” The Oracle of Delphi sat in a temple, breathing fumes that rose from a hole in the ground, and gave advice to Generals and Emperors. The voice that spoke to Moses from the Burning Bush was the Voice of the Divine Oracle.

Anything that is concerned with right action in the present is Runes Territory.

Today Christians open the Bible at random and read what they believe to be God’s advice to them in their time of need. Others use the dictionary in the same way, calling it “Noah Webster’s Oracle.” In contemporary terms, an Oracle is “any person of great knowledge or wisdom.” I suggest that each of us is an Oracle, and when you consult the Runes you are consulting your own deep knowing.

Once you have decided on an issue, with your issue in mind, reach into your bag and draw out a stone. Next, find its picture on the inside front cover of The Book of Runes, turn to the page listed for that Rune and read the interpretation. Invariably, one or two lines will speak directly to your issue.

Q: Do the Runes tell you the future?

A: Whenever you feel “stuck.” Any time you lack sufficient information to make a good decision and yet circumstances demand that you do something now. Sometimes the Oracle will suggest that best action to take is to do nothing at all.

A: No. The future is God’s business, not ours. The Runes focus on the present, helping us to get our bearings and determine what is “right action” in any given situation. Which, it might be argued, leads to a good future. Q: How do you use the Runes?

A: I usually find that drawing a single Rune about a particular issue is enough to help me “reorient” myself. Using the Runes is simple and direct. You never ask a “Yes/No” question. Nor do you ask for information about the future. Instead, you address an issue that is happening in present time. Such as, “How can I improve my relationship with So-and-So?” Or “What is the best way to ask So-and-So for a loan?”

Q: When is a good time to consult the Runes?

Q: What kind of issues do they help you with?

A: All issues—no exceptions, no exclusions. I tend to be pretty single-minded about the function of the Runes Oracle. My habit is to draw a Rune when I feel I don’t have enough information to make a good decision. I am committed to the premise that the Oracle will show me what constitutes right action in literally any situation.

HolisticNetworker.com

Q: How can I use them in my daily life?

A: I’ve always found the Runes valuable in helping me to find clarity when issues come up in relationships of all kinds—whether they be at work, at home, or with friends. And while it may seem strange until you have tested it out, the Runes can be useful in helping you to heal the past from where you find yourself in the present moment. They are useful in communicating with absent friends and loved ones, and that includes the permanently departed. Using the Oracle as an “interpreter,” I have held several conversations with my Dad that I was never able to have since he died just before my 18th birthday. You may wonder: How much of this is accurate? How much do we imagine? You’ll be able to judge for yourself. Q. Is there a scientific basis for their use? A: If statistical probability has merit in answering such a question, then, yes, without a doubt, there is. I have consulted the Runes thousands of times over the last 27 years, for myself and for others, and have found the degree of usefulness (and accuracy) of the readings to be quite remarkable. Expressed as a batting average, I’d say the Runes bat somewhere between 890 and 980. Sometimes the Rune you choose may appear beside the point or inappropriate. Years ago, during a television interview, I drew a Rune for a woman who, when I quoted to her from the Interpretation, laughed and said, “That’s ridiculous!” A week or so later she sent me a letter apologizing, “The Runes commented on a question I didn’t have the courage to ask. I just couldn’t see it at the time.” The Oracle seems to possess an editing and prioritizing function. Q: Do the Runes conflict with peoples’ religious beliefs?

A: You bet they do. Start with those strict literalists who, if Scripture does not sanctify it, simply don’t want to know. Then come those who, without any hesitation, mark the Runes down as “a tool of the Devil’” or the poisonous delusions of pagans. And there are those who lump the Runes with

Winter 2009 33

“New Age” nonsense. People who denigrate the Oracle rarely take the time to read The Book of Runes or touch a Rune stone. As a Christian, I would never recommend using the Runes if they conflicted with my faith. What I know from studying history is that there was a time during the Middle Ages known as “the period of the dual faith,” when everyone got along. In fact I was once in a church in Norway that had Runes carved over the door. “Oh yah,” said the caretaker, “It was Christians on Sunday and Pagans on Friday. We got on just fine!” Another answer to the question is found in Romans 8:28: All things work together for good to them who love God.” I believe that they do, and that the Runes are no exception. Q: Do all the Runes concern growth and change? A: Yes. And above all, right action—in thought, word and deed.

Q: Why do people continue to use the Runes after 2,000 years?

A: They find them useful, fun to play with as a game, and uncannily accurate in difficult situations. Q. Are the meanings of the Runes the same today as they were in Viking times? A: There are similarities and differences. But the point is this: An Oracle always responds to the requirements of the time in which it is consulted, and to the needs of those consulting and interpreting it. My job has been to find a way to translate the essence of their meanings in language we can all understand.

Q: You’ve worked with Margaret Mead, the celebrated anthropologist. What was her reaction to the Runes?

A: When I brought them to her in the early days, she said, “It’s high time someone treated the Runes as part of living western shamanism—we need our shamans after all, and you don’t need to make an appointment to see your Runes.”

Q: Would you do a Rune reading for the host or someone in our audience? A: Gladly. And here’s a terrific bonus. What has always intrigued me about the Oracle is this: When I ‘m on the radio and someone calls in with an issue, I’ll pick a Rune for the caller—but not until I have explained that, for some reason quite beyond me, the Rune I draw from the bag will speak to everyone who happens to be listening. Including myself! So I suggest that each listener think of a situation where they could use some sound advice. And then I will pick a Rune for us all. Q: What if I don’t have a particular issue in mind at the moment?

A: If you have difficulty deciding on a specific issue to address, the Oracle will choose for you and address that issue. Simply ask: What do I need to know for my life right now? Q: You seem to speak of the Oracle almost as if it were a person.

A: If I do, it’s because I really do think of the Runes as “a true and valued friend.” In fact, when I have no one to speak with about matters of concern, I often choose to dialogue with the Runes about a particular problem. The Oracle always has time for me, and invariably has something to say that is worth hearing. Ralph H. Blum is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Viking Runes. Encountering the Runes while doing research in England, he subsequently explored their origins and reinterpreted their meanings in terms appropriate for our time. He has been working with the Runes Oracle as a tool for self-counseling since 1977. Blum received his degree in Russian studies at Harvard University. Following a period in Italy as a Fulbright Scholar, he returned to Harvard, where he did graduate work in anthropology with grants from the National Science Foundation and the Ford Foundation. He has since authored numerous books on Runes and is widely acknowledged as a leading modern day authority on the oracular tradition.

Your Winter Stars by Cynthia Novak

ello New Year and the excitement of anticipation! Change is in the air. It’s not a passive expectation, but one born of nervous excitement and anticipation that the “change” in Washington is more than a campaign promise. It is also the renewed enthusiasm of the 1960 election of JFK. Remember the great Inaugural Address of January 20th, 1961? That’s where we get the famous quote that would be the light of a generation. “Ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country.”1 Again, we have a great orator and a president with a presence that is “big.” Again, we are in an economic crisis and again, we need to dig in and turn the economy around. Is this merely a coincidence or is it an opportunity? January begins a year of rebirth: If you could see all the planets in the heavens at one time, you’d see that all but two are spread across just two constellations: Sagittarius and Capricorn. Pluto lingers in a zone that holds the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This section is called Mula in Vedic astrology and is known for destruction and rebirth. Ancient astronomers call this the womb of our solar system. This might be symbolic or it might be literal. The key word is rebirth. Pluto has been in this mansion for more than a year. As we begin the year, Mars, the planet of war on any front; action and service at every level, has just crossed Pluto. On some level, as we move through the month, we’ll take a collective breath. As we begin the year, we are waiting to exhale.

Winter 2009

Venus, the planet of love, who can be a little greedy, has just moved away from Neptune, the planet of illusion or mystical mysteries. We move through this month and pull on every spiritual teaching we’ve ever learned: from a child’s prayer to complicated ritual. We reach for faith. We ask for guidance and protection. As Venus pulls away we reach for her financial side. She is the planet of love and money. In late January, she crosses Uranus and faces Saturn. The planet of love and money is set free from the past and faces the planet of work. Saturn is the foundation, but before we can rebuild, we need to detach (Uranus) from the past without destroying it. It should be a big stimulus and a sign that the new administration has some grace from the heavens. The Inauguration: We can’t talk about January without the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the U.S.A. He has promised something bigger than a political party. His Inaugural address will reflect this. I picked Obama out of the big pack of Democrats in October 2007 because of the planets on this day: the transits to his chart. He was born with Jupiter, the guru, teacher and politician, in the same place in the heavens where Jupiter sits now. Mercury sits next to Jupiter on January 20th. This is particularly powerful for words and for business. They are joined by the Sun, the planet of life-force-energy. They all sit in a lunar mansion that deals with “universal virtues.” This is a combination of unity and a desire greater than ego or the individual man to be the vessel for change. This is his destiny and we wish him a safe passage through this part of history and we hope that he can carry “We the People” along with his powerful and inspiring connection to something Big. I like to think of Obama as a man who will help the nation revitalize her soul. He has the capacity to bring out the best in most of us. His speeches will be remembered. Don’t miss the Inaugural Address on the 20th. The Solar Eclipse on January 26th falls in a mansion that is great for learning and listening. Here we have a call to listen deeply with every part of our being. We’ll see clues to economic growth and

industries. Watch for companies that are lean or that manufacture a useful product. I know we’ve come to be a service industry nation, but the planets gathered in Capricorn are about tangible resources. They might be wood, stone, minerals or food. Utilitarian is another key word. Things that are simple, perhaps a bit ascetic, make the news. Watch for businesses that teach others how to work together. Pride in “American Made” is coming back. Watch now to see which companies are coming home or how our legislators are making it desirable for them to do so. February: Mars has left Pluto behind. In fact, Pluto is the only planet left in the destructive lunar mansion, Mula. This is good news. Now, there are 5 planets clustered together in the constellation Capricorn. They are surprisingly reminiscent of a cluster in 1962. The three lunar mansions in Capricorn include the one for “universal virtues”; the one about listening and learning and the one about actively drumming up business. What better way to get the economic train going again? Who are these planets? Well, Jupiter, the great teacher, is there. Mars joined him in late January. Mercury is there, too, as well as the Sun. Neptune is at the every end of this group. He’ll move on by the end of the month. For now, we need his mystical faith to help us stay connected to the collective mission and not buckle under personal fear. Venus helps us. She’ll be exalted or at her best from January 27th until May 30th. We can all reach for the best in love and guidance about money as individuals and as a nation. It’s up to us to hold the vision and be tolerant. March: Business is going somewhere. There is activity and some sort of stimulus that draws the attention of businesses here at home. If that’s the case, it will become real so be patient. There is so much activity shown by placements in the heavens that it’s hard to imagine it is just talk. We start the month with Mercury, the planet of talk, and business in every form, crossing Mars, the planet of action; and, well, aggression, service and daring. These two might signal daring words and a business plan to get the giant shark called capitalism swimming again. It

HolisticNetworker.com

might also signal bleeps and blunders with the microphone on. This combination is strong during the first week of March. By the end of the month, Mercury follows the New Moon (Sun and Moon together) and crosses Venus. Both Venus and Mars are exalted when Mercury crosses them. We can reach for the best of Mars in terms of service and great compassion from Venus. At the very least, this month is about vocal passion and romance. Venus is retrograde: time to turn within and find your best. However, the potential for soulful grace and compassion is great. It’s up to you to reach for the potential. The reach is the action part. Compassion will require that action. Retrograde Mercury: Mercury turns retrograde on January 11th until February 1st. This is the time when communication and transportation seem most likely to run amok. A retrograde movement is simply the period of time when a planet is closest to the Earth. We watch the planet in the sky and it appears to move backward. This is when the planet’s archetype or energy turns inward. Mercury is a mental planet: we forget appointments and long for quiet time. It’s a challenge to return calls or even leave the right number when we call. It’s a business planet. These are times we need to get down to business, but we’d really rather be on the island of our dreams. If you really do need to make that appointment, confirm it! Some astrologers say this is a bad time to travel. I like to travel during Mercury retrograde…as long as I’m not tightly scheduled. It’s a great time to meander in an exotic place without any phones or appointments to make.

Winter 2009 37

Venus goes retrograde: Venus turns retrograde from March 6th until April 17th. Venus is the planet of love and money in their most simple or conceptual ways. Venus turns retrograde and we look back in time on love of the past. Don’t be surprised if a long-forgotten love tracks you down. The search sites will be abuzz this spring. This is also a time to look within and see where you spend your money. It might be good to take notes or really look at your debit card statement to see where you’ve spent. Venus is about pleasures. When she turns inward, the pleasures of the spirit and those of insight are strong. These are peaceful periods for those that are the contemplative: times that ultimately lead to peace. No matter if your battle is with coworkers, family, memories or thoughts of the future, Venus moves into Pisces in your Vedic chart on January 28th and stays there until May 30th. Find your Pisces house and that’s where you will journey within and with love. How the Love Grows: Venus is so soulful and introspective that we see our lovers and spouses from the filter of the soul’s light. We see their light even when we know they irritate us. This may be easiest to see with a romantic partner, but it stretches to all relationships…even the folks who irritate us most! Venus lingers in lunar mansions that are great for meditation. A peaceful mind is better equipped to overlook the little stuff.

quickly. At least in retrospect this winter will be remembered as a time when we started rolling again. That’s rolling…not falling. The Obama administration of change: The planets are strangely similar to those in the early 60’s. One strange international union has been Russia and Venezuela. Reminiscent to the cold war, Russia sent a nuclear submarine and ships to Venezuela where both nations are publicly doing naval exercises as I write this. Might they want to elicit fear-filled memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis? It will be fascinating and sometimes frightening to see how this administration handles international and national crises. Obama’s chart is one of a wise old soul who is here to fulfill his destiny. “We the People” elected him based upon little other than his presence. Call it charisma or false political promises, but I feel it is something bigger. Will folks find a way to get along or will we feed on the fear that “those” people won? It’s up to us to reach for bigness in the face of fear that often brings out pettiness. Let’s envision unity and success. Mars and Venus will be very strong this winter. I dare you to reach for the biggest part of your character. That would be the greatest change in recent years. Let’s get the great engine of our nation’s economy and philosophy going again. It will take most, if not all of us, to push her. I believe Obama is a leader who can inspire us to push.

How the Money Flows: It may be erratic, but money does flow. The giant economic train begins to snort steam and slowly move. I hope it will gain momentum
