Dr.Tranquility Talks


The Incredible Intuitive By Dr.Tranquility-Lydia Belton PhD.,Ct.H.A

When I first sat down to think of the questions I would ask the amazing Laura Day I wanted the questions to be frank, comfortable and easy to respond to. What I was given were responses that were open, with an unbridled honesty & beautifully written with clarity of thought and purpose. Join us. Dr.T: When did you first understand how to utilize your intuitive abilities? LD: In adysfunctional family like the one I grew up in, when you are different, you figure that it is not a good thing. I was always aware that I felt and knew things that others believed were “impossible” to know and I sometimes got myself into difficult situations by voicing these things. Intuitive information can be very intrusive for others when you just “spout it out” as a child does. Then, in my early twenties, I saw a T.V. show on one of my science nerd channels on ESP and it described exactly what I was experiencing, not as a defect but as a gift. I called one of the doctors who was leading theseexperiments and I became a test subject. It gave me both a wonderful framework and disciplined training. One of the experiments with me was televised and I had an instant following although I still really wasn’t sure what to call what I could do. I received further training by different concerns, drug companies, doctors, business people asking me “can you predict x or y” and I would say “ I don’t know, but I am happy to give it a try”. It also trained me to be accurate in ways that could be proven, as business and medicine like facts! They don’t care about subjective impressions. They demand details that can be verified. I was also very fortunate to be “discovered” at a time when medicine and other sciences were interested in the study of E.S.P. Dr.T: As an amazing and prolific writer who is a New York Times best- selling author, world renowned speaker, business consultant and coach, and intuitive healer, what is your most favorite aspect of your work and why?


LD: I have always wanted to be a writer and I really enjoy creating something with words on a page. However, my favorite aspect of my work is teaching others how easily they can access accurate information themselves and how they can use it to improve their lives, businesses and communities. There is a beautiful intimacy to intuition. When you uncover it, you are really aware that we are transparent. Only our brains ability to repress intuition keeps us “private” in any way. I know this when people experience me, and I love the moment when it dawns on a student, that we are all intimately connected, None of us are strangers. Then, when we add healing to the mix, the ability to make someone else’s body or life work through a simple transfer of energy, it is pure magic in the most grounded and practical sense. You really realize that anyone can help you find your answers or help to heal your pain or your life and the way our society tends to divide people into “somebodies and nobodies” just evaporates. I do love doing intuitive reading. Moving inside of a person or company, forward, backwards, sideways in time and reforming their framework to help them achieve their goals. The same is true of healing and the secret is that the healer is healed as well! Dr.T: Newsweek-Business has named you the “$10,000-a-Month Psychic”. How do you see the correlation of corporate America, Wall Street, and intuition? What is the one thing that can be done by each of us to enhance our intuition for the betterment of our careers? LD: Business uses whatever works. I like this spare practicality. They don’t have to believe in it. If it works, they do it. Business like life, is exciting but also hard and full of lots of unexpected events. I enjoy making the unpredictable more predictable and the experience of addressing future problems in the present! I have experienced both business and medicine as very open to intuition when it simply does its job and doesn’t come with a whole belief system tacked on to it. My first clients in the early 1980’s were in business, politics and medicine. Of course, they may not want to advertise that they are using you to the public or their board of directors because there is some stigma attached but I have found business very open to, again, whatever works. Dr.T: Any advice for budding intuitives? LD: Anyone who has trained in intuition has a first hand experience of the almost imaginary separation between self and other. It can engender very community oriented thinking and behavior. As with every gift there is an edge. Intuition, if you don’t have good boundaries, can also make you take on others feelings, problems and attitudes as your own. This can cause illness, codependant, selfdestructive behavior and all kinds of other problems. In my book, HYPERLINK "http://Laura-Day.com/" How To Rule The World From Your Couch, which is a psychic textbook, I spend a lot of time helping you know when thoughts, feelings or actions aren’t your own but motivated by intuitive intrusion. That is why the most accurate intuitive do not always make good decisions and are not always the most functional people. I offer many different kinds of seminars. Some are trainings for people who want to use intuition and healing as a marketable skills or more effectively in their own lives, communities. professional practices or companies. Some, like The Circle, are to help you engage all of your abilities, intellect, the subconscious, goal setting, intuition, healing, in an organic way to create a specific outcome in your life or company. The Circle is also a process that creates an intuitive/ healing community so that each participant can get this kind of support without “hiring” a psychic or a healer!

GETAWAY

Arrow Park, A Page Out of History Boroughs of New York City and Newark. AROW was looking for a place of rest and recreation for their children in the countryside. The former Schieffelin mansion and grounds were deemed ideal. With hiking trails, gardens, a large lodge and lake, it proved to be the perfect location for the inception of Arrow Park. Attendance was popular and Arrow Park soon grew into a lively social club with bungalows, a lodge and a large dance pavilion. The initial investors all volunteered their time to run the park and facilities. Many built houses close by so that they could enjoy the park during their retirement. The park was large enough to have community gardens, cultural events, dances and concerts of all varieties. Pete Seeger was a regular performer as were many folk acts of the 60s, drawing thousands of visitors. Today, Arrow Park remains a haven from hectic life. It’s roots as New York family resort and its honored position as a New York historic hotel are forever tied together. We look forward to your visit with us and hope it will become a long-standing family tradition as it has for us. A Day At America's Oldest Winery Jesse and Edward Emerson, two New York City wine merchants who were very good customers of the Jaques family, used the Jaques’ wine to improve another blend of wine from an organization called The Brotherhood of New Life. Eventually, he Emersons purchased the Washingtonville, N.Y. Winery and hence, The Brotherhood Winery name was born. The winery’s success was “continuous” even throughout prohibition, due to its large stock of sacramental wine used for religious ceremonies. Due to the high quality of the Arrow Park Lodge, a New York landmark and New York historic hotel, was commissioned and built in 1909 by Julia Cooper and Schuyler Schieffelin. Using the services of renowned architects Bowen Bancroft Smith, the house was made as much a part of its site as the lake. Some say it seems to grow right out of a bowl- shaped hollow on the side of a steep valley, near a thirty-foot waterfall. The house is of considerable historical and architectural significance. In The Architectural Record, Vol. XL, published in 1916, the nature-


inspired tiles Mr. Bowen Smith chose for the first floor are called “real works of art. ”A link to the article is below: The Schieffelin family came from Swabia, a region that is now in both Germany and Switzerland. After immigrating to New York City, the family increased their wealth by becoming druggists (pharmacists). Schuyler Schieffelin and Julia Cooper, prior to moving to Monroe, were living in Tuxedo Park. Rumor has it that Schieffelin, a great friend of Edward William Harriman who owned property in Monroe, became angry when Harriman was denied the purchase of a house in Tuxedo Park. It is said that in solidarity to his friend, Schieffelin bought 600 acres from Mr. Harriman and began construction on this wonderful home containing many important architectural and design elements of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. In 1948, the house was sold to AROW Farms, Inc. AROW, the American Russian Organized Workers, a group of politically progressive Slavic immigrants were from the wine, it is not surprising that during this time, the clergy population increased significantly. Although laden with rich history, the Brotherhood Winery offers a choice of unique, modern-day, on-site venues for every event imaginable. Whether it’s the wedding of your dreams, a milestone anniversary, birthday party celebration or you want to host an impressive corporate event to impress your colleagues – look no further. The stunning, 5,000 square foot Grand Monarque Hall with its gorgeous 19th century stone structure, impressive wooden beams, gorgeous hard wood floors, wrought iron chandeliers and a ceiling that rises toward the stars is a sight to behold. Vinum Café has a 50-person banquet room and seats 140 in the restaurant. Serving the finest continental French cuisine, Vinum Café also offers outdoor dining, with a patio that accommodates over 100 people with complete privacy. In addition, flanked by mid-1800 vast stone structures is the Mansion, where one can sit and enjoy the ambiance from several outdoor areas. Oh and let’s not forget the gift shop! There’s a little something for everyone here. Hand-made specialty items, apparel with interesting slogans, jewelry, kitchen accessories, serving platters and more. This one-stop shop carries goods from local artisans and abroad.


THE STORY OF BROTHERHOOD, AMERICA’S OLDEST WINERY. By


Robert Bedford, the history begins in 1839, when Jean Jaques, a farmer and cobbler by trade, founded what would become Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville, New York. Today, this Hudson Valley institution continues its mission of producing premium wines that can be found all over the world, while winery visitors tour the same cellars hand- dug by Jaques himself. The book hallmarks nearly two centuries of the winery’s history—through the industrial era, world wars, Prohibition, America’s changing tastes in wine, economic recessions, and a devastating fire —and celebrates the owners and stakeholders who contributed to its longevity through loyalty, perseverance, and sheer innovation. A remarkable collection of rare images illustrates the text, stories and anecdotes—as well as the facts—with more than 350 photographs, wine labels, documents, memorabilia, and advertisements, culled from private and public collections, and carefully restored by the author. Most of the images and documents have never been published before, or seen outside of Brotherhood Winery. A timeline places the winery’s milestones over 175 years in the context of American history. “Through the photos, documents, and writings in this book we can place Brotherhood not only in the context of American viticulture and the country’s ever- changing tastes in wines, but also in the broader landscape of American history. We can also look ahead, to what it means to preserve and restore this rich history, and what it will forecast for the next centuries to come. "Adam Strum, Editor and Publisher, Wine Enthusiast Magazine www.brotherhood-winery.com From Vineyard To Orchard The Hudson Valley Doesn't Disappoint! Gwen Sutherland-Kaiser, resident mixologist for Brotherhood, sells her “Intoxicated Zodiac” line, an array of wine glasses, goblets and shot glasses adorned with zodiac Symbols. The never-ending amenities, such as the comfortable gazebo that overlooks a vineyard and large portion of the property’s 83 acres, delights all visitors. The inviting, spacious patio provides several options for outdoor entertaining. With plenty of room for a DJ or live band, guests and visitors enjoy dancing the night (or day) away. During the weekend, there was a “grape stomping” contest, where volunteers were in competition for prizes to “see who could stomp out the most wine”. One of the volunteers said, “Ever since ‘I Love Lucy’, I’ve always wanted to do this!” There are many enjoyable activities and demonstrations for the entire family to partake in. Tours and wine tastings, lead by veteran employees Mr. Dave Bechtle and Mr. Rick Walls, are an educational experience. Both gentlemen were very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. Mr. Bechtle has been with the winery since 1976! Brotherhood Winery has a long and varied of award- winning wines. It was interesting to learn that Merlot is the best-selling red wine in the world, and Pinot Noir is the best-selling wine in the United States. Pinot Noir is referred to as “the little black dress” of the wine family, because it goes with everything and will not overpower one’s meal. Also very interesting was Brotherhood Winery’s Rosario Wine, “aka – grape juice with a kick”, a traditional recipe developed initially as altar wine for church. Then there was the famous Brotherhood’s Riesling, with its own special modern history. Brotherhood’s Riesling made its debut at the White House when the Clintons realized there was no domestic wine in the home. They selected 2 wines from each wine producing state and Brotherhood’s Riesling, was


one of the two New York State wines and a landmark of the Administrations wine list. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton purchased Brotherhood’s Dry Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon for a State Department function in 2011. Last, there is Brotherhood Winery’s Holiday Spiced Wine mentioned in our last issue, which carries the colonial tradition of mulled wine that goes back to a time in our country preceding the Revolution. This wine’s sweetness is moderate, with hints of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and allspice. With spring just around the corner, it’s always a fun, active time of year. What better way to spend time with family and friends this winter season which is seemingly on going hanging out in the kitchen and creating dishes like Annette’s “Holiday” Beef Stew, “Holiday” Turkey Vegetable Chili and more! Brotherhood Winery includes a complimentary recipe pamphlet with purchase, or you can pick one up when your next visit. One of my personal favorites was Carroll’s Mead, a honeybased, specialty wine. It is the oldest beverage known to man, how Incredible!!! According to legend, when a knight would return in triumph from battle to King Arthur’s Round Table, Sweet Mead was traditionally served as a way of eradicating the battle scars. great for this time of year, especially on the east coast. Come to Brotherhood step back in time and enjoy a day filled with learning, tasting and dining at this premiere destination after all it is America's Oldest Winery and it's in the Hudson Valley. Historical tours run several times throughout the day. Be a part of the unique Brotherhood Legendary history. Adults will enjoy learning about the winemaking process and on-site historical buildings, where you can enjoy tastings & tours great for groups or perhaps a girl’s afternoon out. The kids will think the underground cellars are are really cool and they will love the activities they offer like" Stomping of The Grapes" as well as many other events. Visit their web site for the weekend activities. www.brotherhood-winery.com/

After your tour enjoy a relaxing meal, music with of course some amazing wine (indoors or outdoors) at Vinum Café, where their award- winning chef creates the delectable dishes presented flawlessly. In fact, Zagat has consistently given high ratings of the Zagat Restaurant Guide. So enjoy a wonderful afternoon & Bon Appétit!

Dr. Tranquity On The Couch with Svitlana Zavialova Svitlana is a true Warrior Woman aka Wu Woman in every sense of the word. Kung Fu World Champion Martial Artist, medaling in China, who is not Chinese’s( note the blonde hair, blue eyes), and a woman is quite the feat In this in-depth interview I sit down with my friend & friend of the Dr.Tranquility family Warrior Queen of Martial Movements Svitlana Zavialova, who we are thrilled to have share her thoughts and inspirations with all of us. If I had to sum it up..well I will use her words “ Women are sensitive and powerful by default. Female expression through martial movement is especially powerful and beautiful.” 1- Dr.T - Can you explain to us Wu-Shu and how you created Wu -Woman? Svitlana-Yes. I am a wu woman of wu-shu – the wu woman. Wu- in translation from chinese means warrior and “ Shu” means art. The western world the term wushu is often substituted for Kung Fu, when it actually means, highest level of perfection of something. So according to it we may reach kung fu of dance, kung fu of cooking.:)) 2.

Dr.T - & Yi Shu?

In chinese language the term “Yi shu” is used in reference to other art different from martial arts. “SHU” – art is a connection between immaterial expression and physical form. As an artist I am more interested in this immaterial element of martial arts and I aim to redefine martial arts through my work. 3. Dr.T- Share with us the intersection of Martial Movement & our broad spectrum of emotion? Svitlana-You see when we go to see a Broadway play for example; we are watching mainly a story that is delivered to us through the movement of dance and music. Most human stories involve a broad spectrum of emotions, but when it comes to martial art show, the emotions expressed through the movements of martial arts are very limited:, contradiction , aggression, pure demonstration of power. I believe it to be a misuse of an endless capacity of martial movements, specifically wushu. I convey love & happiness, desire and other broader spectrum of emotions associated with life.


4.

Dr. T What is the impetus of Wu Woman?

Svitlana-Everything started from a dream. Literally a dream, I remember between 3 and 4 right before I’ve started martial arts I was dreaming about china. At that point I didn’t know it was china, but when I was 22 I found myself on the streets of old Xian , remembering my early childhood dream. Magic. Later when I was an athlete my dream expanded: I wanted not just competing but to understand an essence and a core of the movement, so I found myself in china very soon and stayed there. 5.

Dr.T- What does WuShu mean?

Svitlana-Yes. Im often asked this question. As wushu . Wu is a warrior and shu is art I look at what I do as I look on too independent elements, in which artist comes first and martial comes second. I’ve always was looking on how do I take a traditional form of certain style and use this movement to express what I want to express at the moment of time. At one point I felt when people calling me a martial artist, I felt that I’m not because I am an artist of martial movements and this is different. 6.

Dr.T Do you feel Martial Movement is feminine by design?

Svitlana I feel it is. Every new vehicle of expression introduced to us is a valuable asset. Women are sensitive and powerful by default. Female expression through martial movement is especially powerful and beautiful. 7.

Dr.T -As Wu Woman & a renowned actress is Martial Arts films who are your biggest influences ?

Svitlana My biggest influences are of course women: Alexandra-David Need - writer and a traveler. Her life story and her beyond magical connection to Tibet inspired me since I was a teen-ager. Later I’ve visited some of the places she described in her books wondering around Tibet myself. Pina Bausch – Dancer. Pina ‘s way she spoke language of “hands” inspired my martial movements, what again proves boundless connection between genres. Martha Graham – mother of American modern dance. What inspired me most is her boldness and bravery to bring this type movement on stage at the times people less ready for fusion of genres & styles then now. 8.

Dr.T- What is Hidden Wu?

Svitlana- Hidden Wu is a solo show. It’s a physical performance, as story inspired by chinese Empress Wu Ze Tian . It’s a play where the main vehicle of expression is martial movement and sound and musical projection. Hidden Wu was first premiered in The United States and then was brought back to China. 9.

Dr.T- Is Wu Woman more than a social media title ?

Svitlana -Yes. Wu. Woman became more then a social media. After I’ve started posting my free forms on instagram I connected with people in ways I never felt before being a performer on screen and stage. 10. Dr.T-The Martial Arts world seems to be male dominated arena. As a female champion what are your views? Svitlana -There were and are wonderful male role models in martial arts. People admired physicality and intelligence of those men. When it comes to a woman it somehow fragmented, its one thing or the other, it was never a whole image. I believe its time for a female” message” and perspective. They say future is female. I believe the NOW is female. Dr.T- One thing clear coming out of this interview is she is a strong woman gifted with all of the femininity, grace and fluidity that is imbued in all women, helping us to stand in our power.

Fresh tomatoes on the vine (peel a bit of the skin a great face mask. It can take a moment for the redness from the skin to fade on your face but it will usually within minutes but do not risk... refrigerate. If You can't find fresh on the vine which you should be able to grab a can of peeled San Marzanos in juice with basil, WHOLE, into blender & make yourself a virgin bloody Mary with the juice. Keep 1 tomato to the side. Finely sliced garlic 1-2 cloves small garlic bulbs & 1 white or Vidalia onion (caramelize toss in pan allow to brown add a tiny bit of olive oil to get it moving) put 2 tablespoons to the side put the rest in basil I use a lot washed toss them in 1 sprig of rosemary (also awesome for the blood, digestion, & amazing for headaches 1 sprig of rosemary (also awesome for the blood, digestion &amazing for headaches. ARE YOU AND YOUR LOVIE MEATATARIANS? (ME TOO) ok so: Hot and sweet sausage cook together again splash of olive oil in caramelized onion/garlic pan, springing of crushed dried fennel seeds adds more flavor especially when you also add in basil.

Conscious Relationships

Building the Relationship of Your Dreams Date TherapyÂŽ protocol the first step is to figure out what you are looking for in a relationship. In this age where online coaches are everywhere you turn and even people such as myself with a background in mental health, are offering their advice to you constantly. Interestingly enough it's the quieting of the ext noise that truly allows us to recognize the knowing of what we want to come through as we actually know simply get waylaid.


So now let's have a little fun. Read #1 and begin - it only takes a moment 1. Close your eyes just for a second. Taking a deep breath release it and as you breathe & picture just for a moment you are with your ideal par laughing and having an amazing time. While continuing to inhale and exhale deeply, think about what they like? Where are you on your dream date? What activity are you both engaged in? What about your dream is so much fun? Deep breath again & notice how are you feeling? Repeat this a few times over the next co of days with cell phone or pen & paper handy to jot down the information that comes up. This will only take moment after the first time you give it a try: 2. The Stress Free First Date I think of all of the questions I am asked, this one is the all-time global favorites. So you have now connect via Tinder,Match.com, Matchmaker or your grandmother. One thing I always recommend is the pre-date phone call. It is a must and here is why:

A) How do you know what to wear if you haven't spoken about the date ahead of time? If this bra new person isn't willing to invest in a quick phone chat... It's a hook up and not a date. B) Anyway how plan to hike in those stilettos? Just coffee you say? Ok so Starbucks or at a great coffee place in the village Cafe Figaro for exam at hmm say 8 with a great walk around the village an exciting possibility. A very different attire is indicated for a coffee date.


The Elusive “Conscious Relationship” It is Self-Perpetuating Mas Sajady Many of us have “Unconscious” relationships and we yearn daily for connection with work associates, friends, neighbors, children, parents, family members, and especially our romantic partners. I was recently asked what the term “Conscious Relationship” meant to me, and I was pleased to participate in the conversation. Because of my two near death experiences, I now have a unique perspective and am sharing my understanding of many topics globally. According to my multi-dimensional experiences and encounters with what I understand to be Exponential Intelligence, the definition of a Conscious Relationship is being completely aware of Yourself. It is not really about being in a relationship with other people. Conscious Relationship is the connection between You and Your Higher-Self / Your Spirit-Self with true self-awareness. So perhaps that’s why the question about “Conscious Relationships” is being asked; because many of us are not aware of our true selves. A conscious relationship is where people with highly conscious self-awareness come together in a committed relationship and unite as independent beings rather than ‘entangled beings to help each other move forward much easier to a much higher level. A Conscious Relationship is not Time Bound That relationship will feel timeless no matter how long the relationship is; a few months or years, it will always feel as if you just met each other. When you work with me and/or Exponential Intelligence you will be pulled away from needy or negative relationships. Once you understand yourself at an inner level, then the external relationships begin to come in from a different perspective and become conscious. People who are in tune with themselves are drawn to and will attract conscious relationships; because it is a state of being. Conscious Relationship doesn’t \work from the outside in; it’s not something that you do, it’s something that you are. As a result of who you are from that state of being, you exude that consciousness outside of you. Don’t Search…Once you are Conscious, the consciousness will Self-Perpetuate.Searching leads you outside of yourself, and when you are outside of yourself you are not present. Go internal. It’s not about how other people make you feel.

Relaxation Response Can Influence Expression of StressRelated Genes - an article released by Massachusetts General Hospital. How could a single, non-pharmacological intervention help patients deal with? disorders ranging from high blood pressure, to pain syndromes, to infertility, to rheumatoid arthritis? That question may have been answered by a study finding that eliciting the relaxation response - a physiologic state of deep rest - influences the activation patterns of genes associated with the body's response to stress. The collaborative investigation by members of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) appears in the open-access journal PLoS One. "For hundreds of years, Western medicine has looked at mind and body as totally separate entities, to the point where saying something 'is all in your head' implied that it was imaginary," says Herbert Benson, MD, director emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute and co-senior author of the PloS One report. "Now we've found how changing the activity of the mind can alter the way basic genetic instructions are implemented." Towia Liebermann, PhD, director of the BIDMC Genomics Center and the report's co-senior author, adds, "This is the first comprehensive study of how the mind can affect gene expression, linking what has been looked on as a 'soft' science with the 'hard' science of genomics. It is also important because of its focus on gene expression in healthy individuals, rather than in disease states." More than 35 years ago Benson first described the relaxation response, which can be elicited by practices including meditation, deep breathing and prayer; and his team has pioneered the field of mind/body medicine.
