A GREEN WIN FOR JAVA PLANET

Family owned local organic coffee company is honored with annual sustainability award. Java Planet of Tampa was recognized for their continuing commitment to sustainability efforts for their acclaimed organic and fair trade coffees. To date, they are the largest local provider of USDA certified organic coffee in Tampa Bay, importing the product from certified suppliers from all over the world. Coffee smells even sweeter for Java Planet Organic Coffee Roasters, after the small company won in a big way by being honored with a Sustainable Business Award at the University of Tampa’s Vaughn Center in June. “We are very proud to be a recipient of a 2015 Tampa Sustainability award. This award validates our goals and objectives to be a local, organic, fair trade coffee company that gives back to the individual, the farmer and the planet by ensuring sustainable practices are understood, used and consumed” expressed Jennifer Simmons, co-founder of Java Planet, along with her husband Mike. “It substantiates everything we believe in and work so hard to accomplish. Businesses can reap the rewards of being green, with profits and sustainability. It’s all about committing to a bottom line that reflects a greater world view beyond one company.” The 7th Annual Sustainable Business Awards, a program sponsored by the Sustany Foundation, in conjunction with the Sustainable Business Coalition of Tampa Bay, Inc. and the University Of Tampa Center for Ethics, honors Tampa Bay area for-profit businesses that embrace the “triple bottom line” concept. The practice emphasizes good stewardship in regards to 3 resources - people, planet and profit - through innovative practices, products and services. To differentiate their business and showcase an innovative approach to coffee roasting, Java Planet obtained certifications with the following organizations: “ Certified Organic by Americert International “ Fair Trade USA “Many of their coffees are also certified Shade Grown and Bird Friendly. Java Planet was nominated for the award by a Java Planet customer, Barbra C. Anderson, a sustainability specialist. “I was moved by the mission of Java Planet: to educate people about the importance of buying and consuming organic products. I admire the commitment of the founders, Jennifer and Mike Simmons, to ongoing education about the importance of drinking coffee that is certified organic and Fair Trade. They are good people doing good work with a good story to tell, and I wanted to share it with others.” Java Planet is certified 100% organic and 90% of the Arabica coffee beans grown are also Fair Trade. Being certified organic requires that the beans are grown in a natural way, which means that they are not chemically forced to grow faster or larger. There are no chemicals or fertilizers (toxic or otherwise) used anywhere in the supply chain “ from the farm to the ship and through the roasting process. Chemicals are even prohibited in the cleaning of the production equipment or the roasting of coffee. When the coffee is roasted there are no toxic chemicals released into the air from the roaster and there are no toxic chemical residue on the roasted coffee beans, which are therefore not transmitted to consumers. Tampa Bay area coffee lovers may find Java Planet Coffee at many local markets and restaurants, while others can stock up by ordering online at www.jporganiccoffee.com. 4 august 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

Nails give clues to your health Your nails can also serve as a warning signal for a sick body that needs treatment: • If a nail becomes thick and dull-looking, you may have a fungal infection or a more serious condition. • A nail with a widening black or brown streak running up and down the nail could be a warning sign of skin cancer. A single groove running the length of one nail could be caused by a tumor at the base of the nail.

Surgery can also cause a ridge, because the nail growth may be temporarily interrupted due to the anesthesia. • Heart disease and diabetes can decrease blood circulation to the nails and slow down their growth. Nail surfaces may become thick, rough and yellowed. • Nails don’t grow as fast after age 30. But this is a natural part of the aging process.

Ayurveda’s Concept of Perfect Health - Svastha

yurvedic philosophy establishes the five great elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth as the building blocks of the natural world. These five elements pair-up in three combinations to form the primary forces of nature called doshas. The doshas are known as vata, pitta and kapha. According to Ayurveda, we are made of all of the elements, but the unique arrangement and quantity of vata, pitta and kapha is determined by the doshic makeup, lifestyle, diet, and emotions of our parents at our conception. The environment around our parents at the time of our conception also contributed to our nature. Our individual body type, behaviors, needs and predispositions are known as our prakriti (constitutional nature or metabolic type). Ayurveda explains that our prakriti is of no coincidence; instead, it is a divine gift given to us to experience this life in exactly the way that we need to expand and evolve. When we are in balance to our original nature, prakriti, we experience life in harmony, even as we face life challenges. Our prakriti is as fixed as our genetic blueprint but can go out of balance, known as vikriti, when influenced by our lifestyle, diet, emotions, age, environment, the season and even the time of day. Vikriti is the present state of vata, pitta and kapha, resulting from everything that we experience in a day and in our life. When our current doshic state, vikriti, is in balance with our original nature, prakriti, there is perfect harmony. Vikriti is considered to be a state of imbalance or abnormal state when the doshas are different than originally created. The state of vikriti may be quite temporary, lasting only a few minutes, days or weeks, and then the disturbed doshas return to their natural state of prakriti. If the altered doshic state of vikriti is present for a longer period, several months or even years, the aggravated dosha will begin to accumulate, marking the first stage of the process of disease. Ayurveda states that all disease begins as an imbalance of the doshas in reference to our prakriti. 10 august 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

Prakriti

Ayurveda also explains that true health is more than the absence of disease. Svastha means health, established or steady. Common translations of svastha are “established in the self” or “being in one’s natural state.” When we are in our natural state of being and are supporting that original doshic combination (prakriti), we experience true health and wellbeing, which is svastha. Regardless of our current doshic state (vikriti) it is possible to get closer to our prakriti, where we are most harmonious, when following a conscious path to greater health. Since 1948 the World Health Organization has defined health as: “A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The ancient texts of Ayurveda clearly define health in this manner:

Ayurveda’s definition of health is all encompassing. It is the perfect unison of body, mind, senses and soul.

Yoga

More than Physical Exercise By Maggie Batt

Yoga is a wonderful way to connect to your physical body while also bringing in energy to your field. Our energy field carries a blueprint of past trauma, emotions, mental thoughts and karmic ties. When positive experiences happen to us, our energy field gets brighter and stronger. Our Chakras (energy centers said to be the organs of our energy field) are all connected to our spine like the tip of a funnel. Yoga specifically works on this spinal alignment, so as your physical body is connecting, your energetic body also begins to open up further. This allows you to release stuck trauma held in our cell memory and your energy field. The whole body must align to truly merge. We can’t be fully present by disconnecting to the body. Your body speaks to you when it aches, creaks or your energy levels drop. The more in tune you are to the body, the easier it is for you to pinpoint what triggers your body’s disharmony. To reclaim the free expression of our will, we must clear out old emotional responses that get triggered out of habit. We must reclaim our emotional body. Expressing and releasing the emotional energy is done through movement and sound. Thinking won’t work. This energy is lodged in the body. To liberate stuck emotional energy, we need to move until we experience a release and freedom in our body. Why are sound and movement instrumental in emotional release? It is because everything in the universe vibrates. Both sound and movement are forms of vibration. To release stuck emotional energy it must vibrate at a frequency that facilitates the release. Energy that is blocked in the body can be released by vibrating the physical being. Free movement in the form of shaking and dancing is also very therapeutic. When we practice movement, we can pay attention to how we vibrate our space. We need exercise in a way that cultivates nurturing and acceptance of • To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

our bodies. Between the exercises we need to maintain an open, non-judgmental space, to relax and hold our body in a loving manner and to allow our emotional energy to be free and alive. The freer our emotions, the more power we will have to stay healthy, meet our life challenges and manifest our dreams. Space is opened by acceptance. Acceptance invites in the light vibrations. Light is experienced as LOVE. Since 2012, I have had the privilege of teaching in the Yoga Loft Teacher Training Program. We go through each Chakra and bring healing and awareness through poses (asana), sound (mantra),

knowledge (jnana), meditation (dhyana), breathwork (pranayama), focus (mudra), and gaining mastery over ones senses (pratyahara). This September another program begins. Learn more at www. yogalofttampa.com. Now get moving!

Sugar - Oh, baby! :( According to a study published in 2013, nearly one in five US deaths is now associated with obesity. Obesity is indeed a marker for chronic and potentially deadly disease, but the underlying problem that links obesity to so many other serious health issues—including heart disease—is metabolic dysfunction. Mounting evidence clearly shows that added sugars, and processed fructose in particular, is a primary driver of metabolic dysfunction. Refined fructose is actually broken down very much like alcohol, damaging your liver and causing mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction in the same way as ethanol and other toxins. It also causes more severe metabolic dysfunction because it’s more readily metabolized into fat than any other sugar. The fact that refined fructose is far more harmful to your health than other sugars was recently highlighted in a meta-review published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The average American consumes onethird of a pound of sugar per day, half of which is processed fructose. Other statis-

tics found in Dr. Richard Johnson’s book, The Sugar Fix, suggest about 50 percent of Americans consume as much as half a pound, more than 225 grams, per day! The majority of all this sugar is hidden in processed foods and beverages, so to address obesity and related health issues like diabetes and heart disease, ridding your diet of processed fare is key for success.

decay, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends dramatically reducing your sugar consumption, limiting added sugar to 10 percent of daily calories or less. This equates to about 12 teaspoons or 50 grams of sugar for most adults. To prevent chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, the organization suggests limiting your sugar con-

tion for healthy people, which calls for keeping your total fructose consumption below 25 grams per day, or about five teaspoons. However, if you already have signs of insulin resistance, such as hypertension, obesity, or heart disease, I believe you’d be wise to limit your total fructose consumption even further—down to 15 grams or less until your weight and other health conditions have normalized. Three recent studies that have linked excessive sugar consumption to chronic disease include the following: According to the meta-review mentioned earlier, the preponderance of research clearly shows that once you reach 18 percent of your daily calories from added sugar, there’s a two-fold increase in metabolic harm that promotes prediabetes and diabetes Most recently, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded that “most US adults consume more added sugar than is recommended for a healthy diet,” and that there’s “a significant relationship between added sugar consumption and increased risk for cardiovascular disease mortality.”

The 15-year long study, which included data for 31,000 Americans, found that those who consumed 25 percent or more of their daily calories as sugar were more than twice as likely to die from heart disease as those who got less than 10 percent of their calories from sugar. On the whole, the odds of dying from heart disease rose in tandem with the percentage of added sugar in the diet regardless of the age, sex, physical activity level, and body-mass index. A 2014 study came to very similar results. Here, those who consumed the most sugar — about 25 percent of their daily calories — were twice as likely to die from heart disease as those who limited their sugar intake to seven percent of their total calories

WE ARE WHAT WE THINK By Dr Rev Dennis Alexander

ikola Tesla said it best, “the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Swami Vivekananda influenced Tesla’s work, an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of the 19th century saint Ramakrishna. Tesla was also influenced by other Vedic philosophies. Science works best when in harmony with nature. If we put these two together, we can discover great technologies that can only come about when the consciousness of the planet is ready to embrace them, like free energy.

Intention of This Article

I want to make it clear that my intention of presenting this information is to demonstrate that thoughts, intentions, prayer and other units of consciousness can directly influence our physical material world. Consciousness can be a big factor in creating change on the planet. Sending thoughts of love, healing intent, prayer, good intention, and more can have a powerful influence on what you are directing those feelings towards.

1. The Science

For quite some time now, physicists have been exploring the relationship between human consciousness and its relationship to the structure of matter. Previously it was believed that a Newtonian material universe was the foundation of our physical material reality. This all changed when scientists began to recognize that everything in the universe is made out of energy. Quantum physicists discovered that physical atoms are made 16 august 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

up of vorticies of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating. Matter, at it’s tiniest observable level, is energy, and human consciousness is connected to it, human consciousness can influence it’s behavior and even re-structure it. “Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr. “The hypothesis of modern science starts from matter as the basic reality, considering space to be an extension of the void. The phenomenon of creation of stable cosmic matter, therefore, goes beyond the scope of present science. The theory also neither pinpoints the source of cosmic energy that resides in the structure of matter, nor can it explain the cause of material properties that are experienced with the behavior of matter. These are, in brief, the limitations of modern scientific theories at the most basic level of the physical phenomena of nature. When a scientific theory cannot cope with the question of the very origin of the universal matter and energy, how could it ever grasp and explain the phenomenon of consciousness which is evident in living beings?” – Paramahamsa Tewari. The revelation that the universe is not an assembly of physical parts, but instead comes from an entanglement of immaterial energy waves stems from the work of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, amongst others. “A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction”, pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote. “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like

a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.” (R.C. Henry, “The Mental Universe” ; Nature 436:29,2005)

Psychokinesis, also known as PK, encompasses the possible influence of human consciousness on the behavior of physical or biological systems or processes, and comprises several loosely related classes of effect characterized by different scales of energy, forms of manifestation, replicability and statistical behavior. In 2004, a United States Air Force research project declassified a paper titled Teleportation Physics Study, authored by Eric Davis, Ph. D., showing that psychokinesis and other parapsychological phenomenon have been subject to rigorous research and documentation by several researchers and institutions. One particular example was the work of professional aerospace engineer Jack Houck, along with Army Colonel J.B. Alexander. They were responsible for holding a number of PK sessions, where attendees were taught the PK induction process and how to initiate their own PK events using various metal specimens like forks and spoons. Individuals were able to completely bend or contort their metal specimens with no physical force being applied whatsoever. (We do this in our classes at The Sentient Temple all the time.) These events were held for government science advisors and Contact us 813-501-4894 •

senior military officials. They took place at the Pentagon, at officers’ and scientists’ homes, and at U.S Army Intelligence & Security Command locations all over the world. Commanding generals, colonels and more were always in attendance. What was witnessed by all was spontaneous deformation of metal specimens, which caused “a great deal of excitement” amongst those present. “We will need a physics theory of consciousness and psychotronics, along with more experimental data, and discover the physical mechanisms that lay behind the psychotronic manipulation of matter.” - Jack Houck.

3. The Global Consciousness Experiment/Random Number Generators

The global consciousness experiment is an international, multidisciplinary project between multiple scientists and engineers. It originates

• To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

from Princeton University, in conjunction with the Institute of Noetic Sciences. It collects data constantly from a worldwide network of physical random number generators located all over the planet. The data is transmitted to a home base, which now has more than 15 years of data stored in it. “Our purpose is to examine subtle correlations that may reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. We hypothesize that there will be structure in what should be random data, associated with major global events that engage our minds and hearts.” -The Institute of Noetic Sciences for Princeton University. RNGs are systems created by Princeton researchers that are sensitive to and respond to the intentions of individuals, in other words, the influence of consciousness. They also respond to marked shifts in attention occurring in their environment. Peaks of order are commonly recorded during moments of shared attention and emotions. RNGs also responded, and had the largest effects ever recorded

by the Global Consciousness Project during major world events, like 9/11. Other large recordings have occurred on presidential inaugurations, tsunamis and the deaths of public figures. These findings stirred deep questions about the nature of consciousness and its connection to our physical material reality.

4. NSA/CIA Remote Viewing Experiments In Conjunction With Stanford University

Remote viewing is the ability of individuals to describe remote geographical locations up to several hundred thousand kilometers (even more) away. This concept has been proven, demonstrated and documented a number of times. (We teach this in the Sentient Temple’s Multidimensional Mind Course.) In 1995, the CIA declassified and approved the release of documents revealing its involvement in the program that lasted Continued on page 18

for more than 25 years. Ingo Swann, one participant in this experiment was able to view specific rings around Jupiter before NASA was about to take pictures of it with their pioneer 10 craft. This was documented in the research. Individuals were also able to view objects and people in separate rooms that were completely blocked off from their present physical location. The fact that some have/ had the capability to project their consciousness elsewhere from their present physical location is quite amazing. These projects occurred for decades, while some of the mainstream world continued to view them as “pseudoscience,” the Department of Defense takes them extremely seriously, and keeps them extremely secret. This program was part of a program called “STARGATE” and was un-expectantly shut down.

5. Thoughts and Intentions Alter The Physical Structure of Water

Experiments over the past four decades have investigated whether human intention alone affects the properties of water. This question has been around for a while in the alternative medicine realms, because the human body is made up of approximately 70% water. According to the Institute of Noetic Sciences, researchers have suggested that intentionally influenced water can be detected by examining ice crystals formed from samples of that water. Consistent results commonly point to the idea that

positive intentions tend to produce symmetric, well-formed, aesthetically pleasing crystals, and negative intentions tend to produce asymmetric, poorly formed and unattractive crystals. If thoughts and emotions can do this to water, just imagine what they can do to us. Many people point out that this experiment was a fraud, but it’s been conducted multiple times and replicated by some highly respectable individuals in the field of science. The paper I am citing here is from Dean Radin, who has published multiple research papers in peer-reviewed journals. The experiment was conducted at the Institute for Noetic Sciences and Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. This also correlates with a study that examined the role of intention and belief on mood while drinking tea. It explored whether drinking tea “treated” with good intentions by monks would have an effect on mood more so than drinking ordinary tea. The study was done under double-blind, randomized conditions, and results proved positive.

6. The Placebo Effect

It’s been well documented that we can change our biology simply by what we believe to be true. The placebo effect is defined as the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributable to a medication or invasive treatment that has been administered. It suggests that one can treat various ailments by using the mind to heal. Many studies have shown that the placebo effect (the power of consciousness) is

real and highly effective. A Baylor School of Medicine study, published in 2002 in the New England Journal of Medicine, looked at surgery for patients with severe and debilitating knee pain. Many surgeons know there is no placebo effect in surgery, or so most of them believe. The patients were divided into three groups. The surgeons shaved the damaged cartilage in the knee of one group. For the second group they flushed out the knee joint, removing all of the material believed to be causing inflammation. Both of these processes are the standard surgeries people go through who have severe arthritic knees. The third group received a “fake” surgery, the patients were only sedated and tricked that they actually had the knee surgery. For the patients not really receiving the surgery, the doctors made the incisions and splashed salt water on the knee as they would in normal surgery. They then sewed up the incisions like the real thing and the process was complete. All three groups went through the same rehab process, and the results were astonishing. The placebo group improved just as much as the other two groups who had surgery. Another great example of the placebo effect came from the United States Department of Health and Human Services in 1999. The report discovered that half of severely depressed patients taking drugs improve compared to the thirty-two percent taking a placebo. Don’t forget about all of the side effects and dangers that have been associated with antidepressants every year. Don’t forget that the ‘depres-

sion industry’ alone is a multi-billion dollar one. A 2002 article published in the American Psychological Association’s prevention & treatment, by University of Connecticut psychology professor Irving Kirsch titled, “The Emperor’s New Drugs,” made some more shocking discoveries. He found that 80 percent of the effect of antidepressants, as measured in clinical trials, could be attributed to the placebo effect. This professor even had to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to get information on the clinical trials of the top antidepressants.

7. Teleportation

“It became known to myself, along with several colleagues both inside and outside of government, that anomalous teleportation has been scientifically investigated and separately documented by the Department of Defense,” described in a paper published in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) in September 1981, in the journal Ziran Zazhi (Nature Journal) tilted “Some Experiments on the Transfer of Objects Performed by Unusual Abilities of the Human Body” (Shuhuang et al., 1981) reported that ‘gifted children,’ were able to cause the teleportation of small, physical objects from one place to another. Objects included watches, horseflies, other insects, radio microtransmitters, photosensitive paper and more. The participants never touched the objects beforehand. The experiments were done under both blind and double-blind conditions, and the researches involved came from various colleges and sectors of the Department of Defense. This is

an exceptional case, because it was deemed necessary that an unclassified Intelligence Information Report be prepared for public viewing. More research was done by the Aerospace Medicine Engineering Institute in Beijing, in July of 1990. It was published in the Chinese Journal of Somatic Science (Kongzhi et al., 1990: Jinggen et al., 1990; Banghui; 1990). This study reported several experiments involving high speed photography video taping, which was able to capture the transfer of test specimens like nuts, matches, nails, pills and more through the walls of sealed paper envelopes, sealed glass bottles and tubes, sealed plastic film canisters and more without the walls of any of these containers being breached. All of these experiments reported using gifted children and adults to cause the teleportation of various materials.

8. The Science of The Heart

The heart generates the largest electromagnetic field produced in the body. Researchers have analyzed the spectrum analysis of the magnetic field that’s produced by the heart, and results have shown that emotional information is encoded into this electromagnetic field. So, by shifting our emotions, we are changing the information that is encoded into these electromagnetic field that are radiated by the heart. This can impact those around us. When we are feeling emotions of compassion, love, gratitude and understanding, the heart beats out a very different message. It appears consciousness can play a very important role in changing our plan-

Natural Treatment of Psychological Disorders: A series by Dr. Chris Jackson, PhD, DOM (FL)

This second article in a series on natural treatment of psychological disorders focuses on bipolar disorder, somewhat related to the focus of the first article, which was on depression (see last month’s issue). The information contained in this article is backed by research which is available upon request.

Bipolar Disorder

Overlapping somewhat with depression, bipolar disorder (BPD) includes depressive episodes that can be treated similarly, primarily with substances that help to increase serotonin (tryptophan and magnesium), dopamine, and norepinephrine levels (phenylalanine and tyrosine) appropriately. SAM-e, omega 3, and B vitamins may be useful as well. Individuals diagnosed with BPD should be screened initially for thyroid issues by testing free triiodothyronine (T3) levels, as well as other standard thyroid parameters, due to a higher probability of thyroid dysfunction than the general population. For integrative or biomedical treatment approaches, initial screening for thyroid dysfunction is also important to differentiate between pre-existing thyroid disorders and those induced by treatment with lithium carbonate. Prescription lithium carbonate is a standard treatment for BPD that often results in a flat affect, memory loss, tremors, and weight gain, partly due to high dosages and resultant thyroid disorders. If initially screened patients are positive for thyroid issues, these can be treated naturally with desiccated thyroid, minerals selenium, zinc, and copper, amino acid tyrosine, iodine, and/or herbal substances such as bugelweed, melissa (lemon balm), or bladderwrack (kelp),

Rev. Janet M. Reynolds Intuitive Counselor Certified Spirit Medium www.bluefeather.net janet@bluefeather.net 813-814-1601 20 august 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

depending on the specific disorder encountered. If negative for thyroid issues, then further testing may point to a natural approach to treatment. BPD may involve acetylcholine sensitivity, high levels of vanadium, deficiencies in B vitamins or vitamin C, diminished levels of amino acid taurine, or low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), which is related to omega 3 levels. If vanadium is elevated or the patient’s vitamin C level is low, treatment with vitamin C may reduce mania. Since taurine deficiency may lead to mania, either direct supplementation of this amino acid or nacetyl-cysteine for conversion into taurine in the liver may reduce manic episode frequency. Taurine (a calming amino acid that curbs excess acetylcholine) and lithium orotate are considered alternatives to prescription lithium carbonate. All of these treatment approaches require measurement of existing levels in the body and proper dosages are needed to achieve the desired results, preferably in a clinical setting where monitoring and adjustment of treatment levels may be accomplished.

5+ Supplements You Should Be Taking Everyday! By Dianne Greenhalgh

#1 On the Daily Supplement MUST HAVE list is: A Good Probiotic

A probiotic is comprised of thousands of strains of bacteria that you should already have present in your intestinal tract. The purpose of taking a probiotic is that they are a “gut health” maintenance plan. They aid in the absorption of your vitamins and minerals/ nutrients from your food. Foods we eat, air we breath, drinks we ingest all disrupt our healthy “balance” and send our bodies into several types of dilemas/ disease susceptibility. “170 diseases can be helped or treated with probiotics.” (mercola.com) Some diseases that can be helped are Obesity, Depression, Sugar cravings, I.B.S., Dermatitis, Diarrhea, Heart disease, Headaches, Gas relief; also can prevent yeast infections, urinary tract infections, nausea, bloating and reduce risks of bladder cancers, while it is known to manage lactose intolerance and reduce the severity of the cold and flu. Pretty impressive, right? Due to the importance this supplement, go to a nutrition store, market, or supplement supplier that can aid in your personal probiotic selection. Don’t get this supplement at a local retailer chain. Ask advice on brand and ask if it is carried there consistently. That is important. Large retailers supplies are ever changing which is why I recommend you stick to a supplement supplier or market. #2 Multi-Vitamin: A quality multi- vitamin can assure you give your body all of it’s RDA of vitamins and minerals. Knowing you are meeting the requirements daily can aid in prevention of deficiency type diseases. A multi- vitamin daily can also aid in the prevention of heart disease and several cancers.

#3 Chlorophyll with Aloe Juice; 1Tbs of liquid chlorophyll with

½ tsp of aloe vera juice mixed into 16oz of water to start off your day. Why? Well, let me tell you a little about this mixture and it’s benefits to you and your temple. (body) “Liquid chlorophyll helps do the job of hemoglobin, it helps rebuild and replenish red blood cells, thus boosting our energy and increasing our sense of well being.” (energiseforlife.com) It is a cleanser, infection fighter, and blocks carcinogens from binding in your body. Carcinogens are harmful chemicals found in cigarettes, cigars, automobile and factory pollution, in the air we breath daily. Chlorophyll is an inflammation reducer, antiseptic, toxic metal remover (mercury) from the body. Chlorophyll is immune boosting and brings more oxygen to the cells of the body. Added in the water with the aloe juice gives you the morning pick-me-up that coffee isn’t. Aloe vera juice is also a natural detoxifier. It aids in digestion, inflammation reduction, collagen and elastin repairer; also regulates weight and energy levels. Aloe Vera juice contains 19 amino acids and 7 essential amino acids helping in prevention of gum diseases and increasing the absorption of proteins. The 16 oz of water assists in the detox process by supplying your body with a proper amount of water/ hydration. Rinses through the body for that cleanse process. Once you have drank the 16 oz concoction, drink another 16 oz-32 oz of clear water to be certain you have flushed the toxins through the body and out. This also meets some of your recommended daily water intake requirements. #4 Vitamin C; Vitamin C has so many benefits to your body and is a water

soluble vitamin, NON-TOXIC. Vitamin C is an immune defense vitamin. It is important for skin health and vitamin C with bioflavanoids aids in bruise prevention, by strengthening the capillary walls. #5+ Amino Acids: Amino Acids are great to help you to intake your necessary amount of protein per day. Your aminos are proteins broken down into a readily available form absorbed best Immediately following your workout. I advise you leave the gym and get your meal, take your amino while eating. Some gyms sell liquid amino acid drinks that are effective too. (Amino Force by American Bodybuilding is one) The readily available amino acids will aid in repair of the muscles you just worked and even help to cut down on soreness. I put a + sign after 5 because I firmly believe athletes and fitness enthusiasts need more than just these 5 items. There is a plethora of athletic designed supplements out there that truly can prove beneficial to them. Vitamin B12 injections should be on the supplement list for ALL people over 50, and for those of you who test low levels. Stevia is a sweetener/ supplement that should be a daily use supplement for any diabetic or hypertensive person out there. I recommend if you are an athlete, look into some of the amazing products on the market geared to you. Remember get 6-8 good quality hours of sleep each night, be consistent with your supplements, and get out there and exercise that body!! Good Luck!

Mind, Body & Soul decisions will lead us to a true balance of mind, body, and soul

ind, body, and soul balance is the true balance that we sometimes find difficult to reach. It’s true that we look for it on the outside of us, but it all starts within us. The soul is often forgotten. The mind races and habitually thinks unconsciously. The body becomes a constant doer. In my past job, I traveled all over the state. Some days, I would get to my destination, often over 3 hours away, and wonder, “How did I get here?” Have you ever done that? Very often, this is the picture of our life. We live unconsciously by not paying attention to what we are feeding our mind, body, and soul. We are unconscious of the situations that we put ourselves into that cause the stress that, often times, disease derives from. As a Life Coach, I regularly work with clients to help them find fulfillment and change their thinking and belief system. The goal is to reprogram the mind. As Wayne Dyer says, “Change your thoughts; change your life.” Our thoughts can be our biggest ally, or our biggest enemy. If you are familiar with personality traits, you know that the ‘thinker personality’ most likely has the greatest challenge with this, because they live in the mind more often. The reality is, that we can all use a vacation from our minds. Too often, we focus on the past that is no longer here, the future that hasn’t arrived, and ignore the moment that we could be enjoying. Our belief systems catch up with us even when we think we have changed, because they are so deeply imprinted into our minds. Things that we’re taught, that no longer feel like a part of us, still become mental blocks in our life. When a thought comes up that is not in alignment with who we are, or whom we want to

become, try saying aloud the word “cancel” three times, or imagining a very large delete button. It helps to think of these thoughts as old files in your mental computer that need to be deleted. Everything that exists began with a thought, so you must be mindful of what you are creating with yours. Thoughts become things and affect your physiology (body). Stressful thoughts can cause disease, so doctors are now recommending that patients stay away from stressful situations. Life has become so full of responsibilities and busy work, but is it all really necessary? We should revaluate and decide what kind of validation we are getting from our decisions. Am I in need of validation? And, where does this need come from? Becoming the “human doing” has us so busy that we forget to eat, or eat fast food that lacks nourishment. We also do the opposite by eating more than we should when we finally sit down. This can sometimes lead to comfort eating to cover up our emotions and thoughts. These emotions can be so overwhelming at times that they cause problems in the solar plexus, where it is all stored. Anxiety and stomach problems have rapidly risen amongst Americans, causing other health challenges, such as problems with the immune system. Why are there so many problems, in 2015, when access to information is right at our fingertips? The answer is simple. Our ancestors lived simplistically. They worked less and had less things. They may have had more joy, but I believe that they were more centered and found time to feed the soul. It is sometimes said that when all else fails, we should try faith. Well, what exactly is faith? When I speak of faith, I am not talking about religion. It

takes faith to step into any situation, like believing that you have the ability to drive a car. Every event that you have entered into with the belief that you can accomplish, has required some faith. Faith is that little light within you that motivates you to do what you do; that which brings you joy and makes your heart sing. When we move from our head to our heart, we find peace. When we listen to our solar plexus, where our intuition resides, we can make the decisions that will lead us to a less stressful life. We must pay attention to our negative thoughts and replace them with loving and positive thoughts. These decisions will lead us to a true balance of mind, body, and soul. When your inner is balanced, you will find that the outer situations of your life will align themselves, as well. “The quitter you become, the more you can hear.” – Ram Dass Terri Cabral is aCertified Life Coach, Intuitive Practitioner and Image Consultant “Helping to Raise Vibrations for the Healing of Humanity” Terri specializes in personal development, spiritual growth, mind, body and soul balance.

“Remembering Florida that once was through my art” is my passion and theme in producing my art. I strive to capture the natural beauty of Florida that I remember as a child growing up in a pristine and largely undeveloped Florida of old. A true native son, I was born in Tampa and grew up in an old section of town called Gary in East Tampa. I attended local schools, graduated from Hillsborough High School and went to the University of Tampa for a year. The outbreak of the Korean War interrupted my education and I enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. After spending four years in the Coast Guard, I then went back to the University of Tampa to earn a degree in Art Education. Upon graduation, I went to work for the Hillsborough School Department of Education and taught Art for 35 years. During this time, I managed to go back to school to earn my MA Degree at the University of South Florida. I also spent time teaching in Junior College as well as Adult Education. I retired in 1995, retiring does not mean just taking it easy I continue to teach adult classes at Idlewild Baptist Church and display my art in art festivals along Florida’s Suncoast to name a few; Gasparilla, Mainsail, Tarpon Springs, Mayfaire and Art Harvest. My paintings evoke and recall old Florida that I remember, not people or condos, just the natural beauty of Florida; I enjoy painting Florida scenes realistically. I explore the state with my wife, camera in tow capturing resources that I use in building my compositions for my paintings. I am a stickler for details working from several photos to capture a mood or a feeling, such as the way the trees reflect in the water in certain kinds of light. My acrylic paintings are completed with techniques washes and glazes that I have developed over the years to achieve my desired effects.

Indigenous Care When we search for answers to difficult questions, we often don’t consider whether we’re asking the right questions in the first place. Concerns about global warming, pollution, endangered species and the environment in general become the basis for political campaigns, law reform, talking points and lobbying efforts, but more often than not, the focus is on blame instead of resolution. That tendency to lay blame keeps us from accepting the fact that we’re all responsible for contributing to the problem. The question isn’t “Who?” it’s “How?” As in: “How can we, as individuals, right our wrongs and work together to heal our ailing planet?” Gayle Redfern, author of Ancient Wisdoms: Exploring the Mysteries and Connections, contends that the answer to that question has been around much longer than we have. It lies in the ancient wisdom of our ancestors and indigenous cultures around the globe. The two most important messages Redfern says we can glean are:

1. “Do no harm, honor all life, respect the dead and our ancestors, and honor all cultures.” 2. “Treat the earth well and know that we

do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” Indigenous cultures such as the Waitaha people from New Zealand, Hopi from the USA, Kogi from Columbia, Dogon from Mali, and Maya from Central America have expressed concerns over the fate of the planet, but their guidance is often misconstrued or rejected out of hand. “They all caution us, but the elders from [these] cultures come forward with severe, emphatic warnings that we are damaging the planet and destroying opportunities for humanity today,” says Redfern. “Unfortunately, many people dismiss the warnings, negating the application to their immediate community. Action is important now and by everyone.” “For generations the Earth has taken care of humans, providing what we need. It is now time to take care of all life on the planet,” says Redfern. “I suggest people take the time to study the lessons of the indigenous. We need to live simply and take only what we need.“ (iBN Features)

Take time to nourish and recharge. You are in flux with everything around you at this time. Energies can fluctuate. Do not become so enmeshed with the needs of others that you lose sight of your own unique destiny. Add a wee bit more discipline with a touch of focus and you will be good.

July 2015 CANCER June 21st – July 22nd

Avoid surface judgements and idle speculation. Keep in mind that to discern correctly you must be willing to go deep, beneath the surface of what you see. What goes unnoticed also goes unrecognized and this can be a detriment.

LIBRA

SCORPIO

Sept. 23rd – Oct. 22nd

Oct. 23rd – Nov. 21st

Contemplation is the name of the game. Think about your goals and invite a smidgen more of rest coupled with action. Keep excitement high as you embrace new openings and partnerships. Everything is a gain these days, for the most part.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20th – Feb. 18th

Keep in mind now that emphasis is on both form and content. Your values and the principles you live by will stand you in good stead as you ponder what to let go of and what to keep. This includes once meaningful relationships.

Quietly carry your objectives into completion. Everything in moderation is your mantra as you limit your expectations and do your best. Limit obvious excesses in emotions and actions and finish unfinished business—it is your big chance.

PISCES Feb. 19th – March 20th

Right now you are in the midst of establishing new roles and systems. Do not succumb to idle impulses or unfocused behavior. Vote for the moderate path, always the balance between two extremes. Therein lies stability—the call it the middle ground for a reason.
