Positive Affirmations - Rebuild for 2012

By Lauren Satori, M.Ed, ESC II

     Positive affirmation: a technique used to program the subconscious mind to effect change by repeating (or meditating on) a key phrase to bring about the desired outcome.

When you use the words "I AM" in a sentence, you are affirming all in your being. Language is powerful! You can also affirm an action, such as "I understand that like attracts like and therefore attract beings just like the light worker I am." To flow positive thinking unconsciously, you must first begin with a conscious notion to choose positive affirmations and speak them! In my experience, I've written down positive affirmations and taped them anywhere that I know I would be viewing multiple times per day. These places include: the mirror, car seat, backside of the bathroom door, daily alarm on my cell phone, and so on! A sample affirmation for 2012 is as follows:

"I am living my best, most influential and intuitive year yet. I love, am loved and powerful. I am stronger and more resilient than ever and I attract like people around me. I nourish my body with a nutritious diet and I have energy to exercise frequently. I am open to giving and receiving guidance from the Universe and those around me. I am awake to a new balance this year. All is one."

Your personal affirmation can include anything that you would like to program your body into becoming. It is of utmost importance to positively frame the affirmation. Rather than "I do not eat bad foods," choose the words "I listen to my body and nourish with healthy foods and beverages." Affirmations are the conduit toward reinventing, as they set a mission statement about yourself and link it to your bigger dream.

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly."

Marcus Aurelius

2012 is absolutely a pinnacle time in our lives, and pinnacle does not have any negative connotation.  

 

Heavy Metals, a Hard Reality

By Mark E. Daniells

Unknowingly we've created a toxic environment or world to live in and the repercussions are the poisons that bare a heavy burden upon our life and the way we age. Often we are unaware of the many serious detriments to our health and longevity in our daily lives, one being the accumulation of Heavy Metals. We are exposed to them through inhalation of air pollutants, consumption of contaminated drinking water, exposure to contaminated soils, industrial waste and contaminated food.

All food sources, including fruits, vegetables, grains, fish and shellfish can become contaminated by accumulating metals from surrounding soil, air and water. They are found in other toxic inorganic compounds; such as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and petro chemicals. We're also exposed to these volatile elements in the friendliest of places, our home. We come in contact with heavy metals on a daily basis though many sources including dental amalgams, petroleum products, cookware, cutlery, eating utensils, deodorants, hair dyes, cosmetics, metal food containers, cleaners and a slew of other household products.

Heavy Metal poisoning is one of the major, but under-reported causes of many health problems we face today. They can carry serious adverse effects; including reduced growth and development, cancer, organ damage, nervous system damage and in extreme cases, death. Even at low levels it should be noted that heavy metals impair our mind and body from functioning optimally and the sad thing is we don't even notice their imparity upon us until it becomes chronic. Exposure to some metals, such as mercury and lead may also cause development of autoimmunity, in which a person's immune system attacks its own cells. This can lead to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, kidney, circulatory and nervous system disorders.

The heavy metals most often linked to human poisoning are lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, nickel and cadmium. Other heavy metals, including copper and zinc are required by the body in small amounts, but can be toxic in larger doses. Sources of heavy metals in the environment include air emissions from coal-burning plants, automobile, smelters and other industrial facilities; waste incinerators; process waste from the mining industry; lead in household plumbing and old house paints. While certain types of industrial facilities are required by the EPA to report their releases of some heavy metals to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), other major sources - including power plants and waste incinerators are not.

Heavy Metals have been linked to many health problems and diseases that plague us today. The health disorders that toxic metals have been implicated with include degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS. Circulatory problems like hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, arthrosclerosis, Angina, Peripheral Neuropathies, High blood pressure and blocked arteries. Many of them such as Mercury are neurotoxins that disrupt and change electrical pathways in your body causing many neurological disorders, dementia and even death. The only way to help combat this is to remove the toxic heavy metals from our bodies and reduce or eliminate the contact points for them.

Some of the tools to consider using to reduce the contact points are as follows:

• Ceramic Cookware
• Ceramic Knifes
• Wooden eating utensils
• Aluminum free deodorant
• Removal of amalgam/silver fillings
• Deep tissue massage
• Plant based, aluminum and lead free make-up/personal hygiene products

Foods and Supplements for HMP Detox

• Chlorella
• Spirulina
• Blue Green Algae
• Green juice fasting
• EDTA Chelation

There are more and more case studies of heavy metal poisoning being reported by doctors, one that stands out particularly is in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best seller; The 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor away by Dr. Rashid A. Buttar MD. Knowing the importance of Heavy Metal Detoxification, Earth Shift has researched and found a noteworthy HMD protocol. We believe it to be the most effective and affordable we know of and we offer this tool as a great value on our path to extraordinary health.

Kelatox® is a suppository that is primarily made up of Ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA), aCalcium Disodium EDTA housed in Cocoa Butter as the delivery mechanism. It removes a wide range of toxic heavy metals including Mercury, Lead and Aluminum from the body. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid that has a binding (chelation) ability to heavy metals and after it binds to a metal; it is excreted out of the body through the urine and feces.

Why a Suppository?

EDTA, the active ingredient needs to remain whole to be effective. When ingested orally, about 95% of the EDTA is destroyed or made inactive by the acids in the stomach making it unusable. Getting EDTA administered from your doctor via IV drip is effective, but very time consuming, expensive and there are potential side effects due to the high dosage. With a suppository there is about a 95% absorption rate and no requirement for blood work to determine kidney and liver function as is required before IV EDTA treatments can be administered.

Why Brown Rice Protein?

By Mark E. Daniells

In a world of complexity, simplicity is truly a healthy virtue, in both our lives and diets. In this light, we'll keep the ocean of information that can be found on Brown Rice Protein simple.

Brown rice has been a food staple for almost every culture around the world for thousands of years. It has fed more people over a longer period of time than any other crop. As far back as 2500 B.C. rice has been documented in the history books as a source of food and tradition. Beginning in China and the surrounding areas, its cultivation spread throughout Sri Lanka, and India. It was then passed onto Greece and areas of the Mediterranean. Rice spread throughout Southern Europe and to some of North Africa. From Europe rice was brought to the New World. From Portugal it was brought into Brazil and from Spain to Central and South America. In its own right, rice stands alone as a simple Superfood.

Now with both old and modern techniques, the nutritive properties of brown rice can be enhanced by activation (sprouting) then isolated to provide its health benefits in concentrated form. One of these is a high quality Brown Rice Protein. (BRP)

• Whole grain BRP maintains a thin layer of rice bran around the seed. When this nutrient dense layer is refined or processed off, it then becomes a nutritionally void or denatured food. It becomes nothing more than an empty starch that is quickly converted into a simple sugar through the digestive process. Thus it must be whole to be a complete food.

• Earth Shift Products raw sprouted whole grain Brown Rice Protein provides the live enzymes from the endosperm (life-force). When combined with the bran that surrounds it; as nature intended, it provides a complete, nutritious and highly digestible protein supplement.

• Our certified organic BRP is 85% pure protein and 100% vegan.

• It is 100% rice derived with nothing added

• Naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, our Brown Rice Protein provides a complete amino acid profile. It offers a 98% correlation to mother's milk and 98% digestion efficiency. This means it can easily be assimilated and utilized by the body without digestive discomfort, which usually indicates that a food or protein is not being assimilated properly and completely utilized.

• Earth Shift BRP contains Inositol hexaphosphate acid (IP-6) a potent antioxidant found in rice bran. Many experts believe IP-6 can prevent potential heart disease, colon cancer, kidney stones and liver disease that animal proteins appear to contribute to.

Our Hypoallergenic, non GMO, gluten free Brown Rice Protein stands as a highly efficient way to supplement the diet of those not only seeking the highest quality plant based protein, but also the multiple health benefits that a protein supplement can offer.

A simple way to enjoy Brown Rice Protein is to mix in a blender:

*  2. tablespoons BRP

*  16 oz. fresh orange juice

*  1. tablespoon of real vanilla

*  1/2 banana.

From here, one could go wild with ideas.

Enjoy

Spring Cleaning

By Mark E. Daniells

Looking back through history, spring has always been a time for cleaning. There are several suggested origins for Spring Cleaning based on religious practices. One of these is traced to the Jewish celebration of Pesach or Passover, which occurs in March or April each year. Other origins are the IranianNorouz, the Persian New Year and several others from western cultures as well. However, they only reference the cleaning of a person's domicile and overlook the most important home of all, our bodies. 

The proverb "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" originally found in ancient Babylonian and Hebrew religious text is still invoked to this day, often as an admonition to wash or clean up. Many are now realizing that the whole meaning to this half truth was lost or distorted to only reflect upon the outer cleanliness of our bodies and not the inner as well. Most of us have also heard the proverb; "The body is thy temple" and people are now beginning to realize, once again, the profound meaning behind this statement.  

 In modern society it appears that we're influenced to do everything in excess; from super size meals to super size wheels. Everything we do is always more, never less. Point is; we unconsciously accumulate more and more toxic waste in our bodies and the planet, due to our unnatural and excessive way of life. It's not enough that we've created an ocean of toxins we pump into our bodies, but we also do it so excessively that we're literally swimming in them externally as well.

It's a small wonder we seem to be suffering from more and more diseases with each passing day. However, there is a growing movement going on that is rediscovering the true meaning behind the wisdom of the old world proverbs. In a previous article I wrote about the "Cause and effect of disease", stating that it's what we think to do in every moment of our lives "Cause" that ultimately manifests in our bodies and world resulting as the "Effect". This is what we experience as stress, turmoil, sickness, disease and ultimately death, due to the self destructive behavior we're not conscious of.

Hippocrates stated; everything in access is opposed to nature.DaVinci wrote; vitality and beauty are gifts of nature for those who live according to its laws. Awareness of natural or (universal) law only scratches the surface of what is ultimately the truth about our nature and its power we lost sight of.

There is an alarming term from the American Medical Association; Death, due to natural causes. Did you know that the (AMA) considers death due to heart disease, cancer, diabetes and a long list of other diseases as natural?  This is disturbing when one comes to the realization that there is very little natural about our current way of life and nothing natural about "dis-ease", which in reality is the (effect). Once again, the effect is the aftermath of our unconscious actions that often lead to the afflictions we suffer. So instead of dealing with the symptoms of disease (effect), we should be addressing the (cause) that prevents them. Thus, the famous words by Benjamin Franklin; "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".  How many times have we heard this, but just let it go over our heads? Hopefully, this will be the last time.

At this point, it should be acknowledged that there are many who have not yet realized the origin of our diseases and don't understand why they exist or where they came from. Many believe diseases are just a part of life; this couldn't be further from the truth. If there were only one truth that stands absolute about life, it would be that disease and death have nothing to do with life at all.  There are many who question and are dumbfounded as to why a child is born with a disease or someone appearing to be in perfect health suddenly contract a chronic or fatal disease. This is a very deep metaphysical subject, too in-depth for this article. However, the hard to accept truth is; we've unconsciously created diseases and placed them within our lineage since the time we tripped over our fat heads and fell flat on our face.

 WHY DID I EAT THAT?

   As I write this, I'm on my sixth day of fasting while doing a detox protocol called Bio Cleanse. For years I've been observing our behavioral habits with food and during this cleanse I've been able to look even closer. It's more apparent than ever that the most overlooked aspect to this thing we call eating is the question "WHY" On the surface it would seem obvious, but when we delve deeper, it's anything but.    

   It is becoming more and more obvious that food is a drug; literally a narcotic and millions are addicts, food junkies. Point blank, it's the #1 substance abuse problem in the world and the truth is, when we abuse (especially in the US) what was meant to benefit and prolong the life span of our body's, food then becomes a detriment that shortens life. It's been said "we are an over fed, under nourished nation" and this couldn't be more true. We eat for so many reasons we're not fully cognizant of, including the sedative or stimulant effect food has upon us. This is obvious in that we tend to eat when we are.

• Stressed
• Depressed
• Happy
• Sad
• Mad
• Sick
• Bored
• Tired
• Lonely
• To be social
• In need of comfort
• In pain or sorrow

   We even eat when it's TIME, when the clock says so, instead of when our bodies naturally remind us.

   In lieu of the foregoing, it is clear that most of the time we eat for all the wrong reasons and many of them are more psychological than physiological. Yes, we do eat when we're hungry and for nourishment, but so little of the time is this the case. Most often, we eat just for the sheer taste and pleasure of it, along with the sedative or stimulant effect. (Gluttonous pleasure junkies)

 That's the problem.

   Yes, food is a wonderful pleasure, in fact it's truly a gift; the experience of taste and the sensation eating gives us, but we've taken it to the point of literal self destruction.

   Unbeknownst to the masses, even to those of us on a more serious health conscious path; what we eat, how often we eat and why we eat is something we're just not fully conscious of in every moment. The truth is simple; food can be a life supporting sustenance or a substance that cause's health disorders, hindering us from realizing higher states of health, longevity and consciousness when we abuse it. The list of food related diseases is too long for this article.

   We've all heard: cleanliness is next to godliness, but most have never understood the full meaning. We've also heard the body is thy temple, but many don't understand what it's a temple of.  Thus, it's been said that we are light beings, beings of light/life energy (spirit) in physical bodies. This couldn't be truer because without this miraculous spark of life within (god technology if you will) our bodies couldn't function or better yet exist. Furthermore, "Life is much more than what we make of it; it's what we are."  No need to thunder away with a sermon, but everyone will have to reckon with this truth sooner or later and respect it accordingly.

To eat or not to eat?

   Whenever we eat, there is an energy and residue exchange that can deplete this life force in our bodies, which simultaneously leaves a residue behind. If the food we consume is not pure, plant based, non GMO (mostly raw or live) and nutrient dense, it leaves a toll on the body. When the body isn't receiving more in the energy exchange than it took to process and assimilate what the body needed to receive in the exchange, then it's being cannibalized energetically in the process. The body is receiving less in energy/life force than it took to process what was meant to fuel the body.

   In our culture, over eating and consuming high calorie, low nutrient foods, along with toxic substances is what's now called The Standard American Diet (S.A.D).  The ongoing process of consuming the S.A.D diet burns out our light bulb (if you will) much faster than it was designed to. In fact, the S.A.D. diet appears to be the number one contributor to our growing health care crisis and all the new diseases that seem to be popping up every day.

   That said, now comes the other side of the double edge sword: residue. In the energy exchange, there is also a residue or remnant left behind that accumulates and literally chokes the light or life out of these once perfect organic organisms we call our bodies. Meaning, the light can't remain in the temple any longer because the temple is no longer a place where life can reside after it's been corrupted with layer after layer of toxic plaque-like tarnish. Simply put, the accumulation causes a short circuit or disconnection over time. It is this simple, but very inconvenient truth that many can't believe or don't want to hear because of their psychological programing and physiological addictions. Truth is, we're unconsciously killing ourselves and loving every minute of it because we love our food to the point of its abuse and distortion upon our bodies.

   It's been said many times in defense of eating unhealthy, dead and denatured foods; "but I don't care, I love this or that food; I've got to have my such and such fix; we're going to die anyway; at least I'm going to die happy." The answer to that is: Why speed up the process? When you're on your death bed, long before your time, it's very doubtful you'll be happy. Though we love our food and it gives us so much pleasure in one way, the truth is, it doesn't love us back in another when we eat unconsciously. In this time of self health and empowerment, it is true to the upmost degree that we have free will, which means we can do anything we want. However, it does not mean that what we do will not come without a price unconsciously attached to it. So a word to the wise should be: The next time you eat, make sure you don't find yourself asking a familiar question we seldom answer "Why did I eat that?"

Positive Affirmations - Rebuild for 2012 

   Positive affirmation: a technique used to program the subconscious mind to effect change by repeating (or meditating on) a key phrase to bring about the desired outcome.

Fulvic Minerals

   Organic Fulvic (fulvic acid minerals) from once-living prehistoric plant matter is known to be the most bio-ionically transferable natural material in the world, and is absorbed and utilized by the body and cells more rapidly and effectively--while containing greater benefits--than any man-made or other "natural" or "Fulvic" mineral varieties. It is extremely rare and is harvested, cured and processed on location here in the United States. Our finished product is unmatched in naturally occurring minerals, trace minerals, trace elements, fulvic acids, amino acids, oxygen and hydrogen. Fulvic ionic-colloidal minerals act as a powerful delivery system for nutrients from food, vitamins, enzymes, herbs and other supplements.  

   Fulvic Acid is an organic acid that occurs naturally in minute quantities in most soils. It is formed when microbes break down plant matter. Fulvic Acid's main function is to prepare and chelate (bind to) inorganic rock-form minerals and convert them to a form that is easily assimilated by living plants. It is the "delivery system" that ensures that plants are able to absorb and make use of the minerals in the soil. Only rare, prehistoric plant-matter deposits contain Fulvic Acids in the highest concentrations known to exist.

What does Fulvic do?

Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid work together to remove unwanted salt acids that surround & harden cell walls, creating cell permeability.

Fulvic Acid is the electrolyte that enables our cells to absorb nutrients and is a multi-directional antioxidant.

Fulvic and Humic Acid, Trace Minerals & Essential Amino Acids are required for a myriad of metabolic functions, yet cannot be produced by the body.

Fulvic Acid detoxifies the body by eliminating heavy metals and toxins (including radiation) and is considered the most powerful form of Oral Chelation.

Fulvic Acid allows other Foods, Vitamins, and Herbs to be absorbed and effectively utilized by the body.

Fulvic Acid provides increased energy, mental clarity, and sense of well being by feeding and nourishing every cell in the body.  

How do I use it?

Serving Recommendation

Take 7-10 Drops in 12 ounces of water or fresh juice twice daily or as otherwise directed by a qualified health professional. Not to exceed 20 drops daily.

Are You Digging Your Grave With Your Teeth?

By Parthenia Grant, PhD

   In her new book, Dr. Grant discusses everything you may not want to hear but need to know about how food and our beliefs affect our health, longevity and looks.

Excerpt:

   I learned in junior high that live amino acids are the building blocks of life and that the body needs essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to maintain health and produce energy.  After that revelation, I ran home and planted a vegetable garden because our diet consisted of dead meat, white rice and canned vegetables.

   As I struggled to incite change at home, I realized that the anthropologist Margaret Mead was right when she stated that it is "easier to get people to change their religion than to change their diet." The problem is that most people's minds are not logical, pragmatic nor practical when it comes to food; intensely pleasurable emotions are attached to eating.  In fact, the most intimate relationship in many people's lives is their love affair with food.  Food, as a surrogate lover, however, becomes deadly when the diet consists of devitalized food, which explains why "when it comes to eating, humans are the dumbest animals on the planet" (ravediet.com). My Jr. High science teacher was right: "we are digging our graves with our teeth."

   Energy is measured in Megahertz (MHz).  Processed, over cooked and canned foods have 0 MHz. Handbook for the New Paradigm states that "the normal vibratory rate of a human body has been determined to be between 62 and 68 MHz. The brain functions optimally between 72 and 90 MHz. When the body vibration lowers to 58 MHz, it can "catch a cold;" at 57 MHz the flu; 55 MHz candida, 52 MHz Epstein Barr; 42 MHz cancer and at 25 MHz death begins." As the vibratory rate lowers, the brain synapses become impaired. Low fat/high sugar carbohydrate diets starve brain cells. Sugar substitutes destroy nerve endings. 

   To thrive, disease needs an acidic pH condition. When the body becomes too acidic you die. All meats, dairy products, processed foods, over cooked foods and most bottled waters are acidic.  Fresh fruits and vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, and sprouted grains are alkaline.

   Studies have proven that those who eat less and are at or below the Mass Body Index for their height live 30% longer. That's a pretty high incentive to cultivate a conscious choice to eat more live, alkaline foods that produce energy and nourish life.

  2012 is here, perhaps the most talked about and anticipated year in recorded history. Ancient cultures foresaw this year as the pinnacle that typifies great change or the passing from one world to another. In some civilizations, this time has been referred to as The Shift of the Ages. This is what Earth Shift, our company was named after. We believe the requisite in shifting to elevated states of health and consciousness requires starting within ourselves in order for our world to be uplifted. Our intention has always been to offer tools and information that help realize higher states of being. 

  There are millions of people all around the world that have been anticipating this year and the times ahead to bring about great shifts in our individual and collective consciousness, the likes of which there has been much speculation about, but if we look closely, truth is it's already begun. There are books, movies, television programs on the National Geographic and History channels, even scientific evidence from astronomers and astrophysicist'sthat refer to a great cosmic alignment that occurs once every twenty six thousand years and will take place somewhere around December 21st 2012. Metaphysical and spiritual circles say it will usher in what has also been referred to as the golden or Aquarian age, but some of the information has led to gloomy theory's and conjecture that has also led to a lot of hype and fear based predictions through out the last two thousand years. Some authors and theorists talk of apocalyptic earth cataclysms, some first contact with higher extra terrestrial life forms, some the second coming of Christ, others say nothing at all, whatever the case may be something is in the air that no other time had before, at least in our recorded history. 

  Those of us at Earth Shift Products see it as a year of promise and opportunity for great self empowerment and realization, one that will eventually lead us to realize once again our unlimited potential as a race or better yet co-creators. Not only of the world we create upon the earth but the overall roll we play in the bigger eternal picture or universe. It's been said in reference to this time in our history and our search for higher purpose and meaning that "we are the ones we've been waiting for" and we will take back the power, grace and rightful heritage we fell from long ago. 

  In foresight it appears this is our moment in time that has been spoken of through the ages, a time to rethink and reflect upon perhaps the most important and overlooked three words ever spoken: "who we are". There is a maxim, or aphorism inscribed on the wall in the temple of Apollo at Delphi "know thyself" but many have no clue of its true and deeper meaning. It has been suggested in ancient cultures, biblical scriptures and modern text who we are and our origin, but it appears we've held the truth over our heads, literally and figuratively, only to see ourselves as helpless beings separate from the very power we love and hold so high, yet out of reach somewhere in the heavens. I for one see the deeper message all around us; including books, songs, movies, even in the most beloved animated children's film of all time; The Lion King, when in a pivotal scene Mufasa told his lost, self doubting and dishearten son from above:"Remember who you are." need I say anything more? 

  We urge everyone in this new and auspicious year to seize this moment in time and seek within ourselves the empowerment to create in this life or world what many search for and hope to find in another. From a truly spiritual perspective it is humbling and Ah-inspiring to know we have the power to realize and bring forth in ourselves that which has been long foretold to be our heritage on earth, need I say the words. That said, it must start with clearing the way or the obstructions we've created internally and externally (as within so without) in order to see with clear vision what had blocked us from seeing what we will ultimately rediscover had been there all along. 

  I would like to close with inspiring words taken in part from scripture's not so different from the faith practiced here in the west or any other around the world: Be lions roaring in the forests of knowledge and wisdom, whales swimming in the oceans of life, prepare to meet (your true self) in the Garden of Clove

Welcoming the New Year and the New You

  The ending of one calendar year only begins a new one and with it brings a new opportunity to further define your authentic self. This does not mean finding a new fad to follow, diet to obsess over, or gym to join. Rather, the dawn of a New Year provides just another opportunity to leave that which no longer serves you in the past, and truly focus on both the present and the future. As much as this shift to focusing on the present can be a mindful meditation, it can also be an active lifestyle change. We are given not only 365 days per year, but 1440 minutes each day to remain in the present choosing positive and conscious thoughts and decisions.

  "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly."

- Marcus Aurelius

  Look at all that you have accomplished this past calendar year - truly pause and reflect at the beautiful being you are! It is a powerful tool to go to the mirror, look deeply into your own eyes and OWN IT! Positive self talk provides a channel for your third eye center to communicate with your heart chakra, and vice versa. We have the ability to light up our own life, and it is important to do so. When we engage in positive personal affirmations, we are consciously setting out intentions. This shift in focusing on what has been accomplished versus what has not is supported by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, who noted in 2002 that one should use their "signature strengths every day to produce authentic happiness and abundant gratification," otherwise deemed "the good life." Begin to live your good life every waking moment, and help others live and commemorate theirs.

  In addition to recognizing all that you have accomplished this past year, it is just as important to release and let go of any previously viewed negative experience. Be it a sour relationship, difficulties with a job or financial hardship, there are lessons within each challenge. The year 2012 is a time of spiritual transformation and purification. Detox yourself emotionally by shedding layers of programmed thinking about difficulties. Forget the trappings of the material world and connect with the sacred, authentic and intuitive self. Doing so will shed light that everything is a learning experience. Rather than continuing to view a person, experience or loss as a negative or traumatic experience - let go. Release and let go. Remind yourself that everything is a learning experience and dig deep to find positive lessons learned during that time. Everything is perfect as it is and as it is now, or else - it would have been different!

  "The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

 

On Cleansing and Detoxification

 by Mark E. Daniells

 Flow

  The functions of our body's digestive and alimentary systems are very similar to the biological systems of our Earth. Just as the conveyer belt of its oceans, jet streams and rivers must flow freely for the planet to sustain life, so must our body's biological systems.

Blockage

  Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Jethro Kloss, Dr. John R. Christopher, Dr. Richard Anderson and a long list of distinguished natural health practitioners knew that most forms of health disorders stem from some type of toxic accumulation, which resulted in blockages known as disease.

  Hippocrates, the father of medicine himself taught that the small and large intestine feeds every organ of the body, every tissue and every cell. When their functions become contaminated and backed up with the accumulation of toxins and all manor of decaying residue and impurities, the blood, cells and organs of the entire body become contaminated to reflect that same condition.

Alkalize & Mineralize

  Once the body's digestive and alimentary systems are cleansed from years of toxic build up and in some cases parasitic infestation it is able to perform its natural biological function optimally, which is to assimilate, absorb and circulate nutrients through out the entire body while expelling waste to keep its internal systems clean and flowing. In conjunction; when we replace dead, acidic and denatured foods found in the Standard American Diet (SAD) with Live, Whole, Raw, Organic and Alkalizing Foods, these biological systems are able to deliver the highest concentrations of nourishment so the body can return to performing optimally.

Healing

  It is well known among naturopathic pioneers, including Hippocrates that healing begins with cleansing and purifying the body first. Hippocrates and a multitude of others taught that the body will heal its self of health disorders or (dis-ease) and radiate extraordinary health and vibrancy once it is cleansed nourished and consciously maintained. It is also known that the ascended masters of every major religion throughout history advocated this as well.

Ageing

• Metals such as: Mercury, Aluminum, Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Uranium, Nickel, Barium, Thallium, Stainless Steel and Oxidized Iron (Fe3)
• Toxic chemicals such as: Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Petrochemicals, Dyes/artificial colors, Artificial Flavors, Chlorine, Pharmaceuticals and Aflotoxins.
• Micotoxins: Yeast, Mold, Fungus and Candida
• All denatured, GMO or altered foods from their natural integrity
• Gallstones, Kidney Stones, Bile Sludge
• Parasites: Tape worms, Fluke worms, Round worms, Cream worms, Pin worms and many other forms of parasites and microbes
• Arterial plaque from the consumption of animals
• And finally the most harmful or deadly contaminant of all; Etheric (harmful thoughts that create stress and blockages within the body)

         De-Accumulation + Purification + Alkalization + Mineralization = Regeneration     

Clean Your Clock

  The body's internal systems are not only similar to the biological systems of the Earth, but also should be viewed as biological clocks, which must be kept clean and properly maintained on an hourly, daily and yearly basis. If not they will inevitably malfunction and stop running long before their time.

Time

  People often say; I don't have the time, nor the will power to cleanse and take care of myself this way, let alone eat health consciously all the time. Then the truth is; we don't have time to live a long life. It is well known among accomplished Anthropological researchers and ancient historians that it's no myth; as far back in our history as we have knowledge of, we once lived for hundreds of years at a time. Some of this can be referenced in biblical text.

  Seneca wrote: "Man does not die, he kills himself." DaVinci wrote: "Vitality and beauty are gifts of nature for those who live according to its laws." The simple truth is we fell out of our natural, organic origin and over century's of time created an unnatural, toxic and complex way of life, one we've reduced to the very short existence we now call a life time. If we are to heal ourselves of dis-ease, premature ageing and death, we must take the time and responsibility to reverse what we brought upon ourselves through our own blind actions, thus the bold statement of Leonardo Da Vinci, "Blinding ignorance does mislead us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!"

  Simply put; we must be cognizant of and address the cause of our (aliments or diseases) and not their effect, which are the symptoms.

  Cleansing the small and large intestine (Colon) is the requisite protocol for beginning the process to extraordinary health. They must be cleansed before other vital cleanses are implemented.

     We've all heard the song every New Year's Eve; you know the one about forgetting old acquaintances but did you ever wonder what that phrase in the chorus really means? Isn't it funny how we sing and hear a song so many times but often have no idea what it means?

     It turns out that "Auld Lang Syne" is an extremely old Scottish song that was first written in the 1700s. Robert Burns whose transcription got the most notoriety is the person it's most associated with.

    A good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by." So incorporating a couple of other translations when singing this song, we're saying, " let times or days gone by go."

     For many the song is most memorable in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, every man's all American sweet heart in 1946. In the closing scene it suggests to reflect upon all the wonderful things to be grateful and have reverence for in life and how rich it truly is, no matter what cards we're dealt or color glasses we see life through. However, the song also suggests to prepare for discarding the old baggage we often unconsciously hang on to that hinders us from positive change.

     With 2012 fast approaching, a year there seems to be more buzz about than any other, it may be a time more than any other to give deep thought and reflection on the kind of life we want, the kind of world we want to live in and our plan for taking the necessary steps to bring our aspirations to fruition.

     One of the best steps for starting a new or better life is cleansing ones self of old negative accumulations and thought forms. These things I call blockages build up quite simply as toxins and manifest in several ways; psychologically, physiologically and emotionally. There are toxins that build up in the body and toxins that build up in the mind but the truth is they're all tied together as one.

     There has always been talk about leaving the past behind and in these times more about "being in the moment" or "the power of now" which is extremely important but so few of us are cognizant of the accumulations from the past we have stuck in our bodies and minds that begin from the time of our birth. Toxic blockages that stem from the negative thoughts we think to the unhealthy foods we eat, which can hinder us from making the positive changes we want to see in our health, lives and world.

    One of the requisites for positive change is the very old holistic method of cleansing, clearing the field (body) to plant new seed, if you will. In the past I've sited several times the first part of a wise old hermetic adage; as above so below, as below so above, which relates to the state of mind having a direct effect on the body but at the same time, the body having direct effect on the mind and spirit. Point being; we can not realize a more conscious, healthy and prosperous life unless we start from the inside and work our way out.

 

by: Lauren Satori, M.Ed, Education Specialist Level II

     As I write I find the fresh and calm Santa Barbara night air sits still behind me, as if it anticipates my every tap on the keyboard in order to send a breeze my way. My front door as open as my heart, it is at this time that I introduce myself to you. My name is Lauren Satori and I believe I am an old soul with a young spirit. I am driven and passionate about my lifework, which includes being a special education teacher and advocate for the rights of all - especially those with developmental disabilities. My background includes working alongside the families of individuals who have a member that experiences disabilities; be it physical, emotional, or mental. A large majority of my experience in the field centers on children and adults with Autism. I worked for several years as a Positive Behavioral Support Therapist and Parent Educator in the home, school and community setting helping facilitate socialization opportunities among family members and peers in addition to decreasing problematic behaviors and increasing communication for children and adults with Autism. I believe whole heartedly in positive behavior support as a way of life - not solely a teaching tool. Finishing up my thesis last May helped me to realize that part of my life's mission was to help increase positive communication among different types of people. I found in my observations that not only students with disabilities needed assistance communicating (and noticing social cues or signs) and bettering themselves, but the large majority of students do. And, just as we all have opportunities to be teachers, we all are students as well.

     Positive behavior support (PBS) is a branch of a greater tree of Applied Behavior Analysis. Among the roots of this approach includes positive reinforcement, or praise, as a means of increasing the likelihood of a behavior. This theory of rewarding good behaviors may seem like common sense, but you will be surprised to learn how absent this is in our everyday life. We are conditioned and programmed more on a punishment or consequence system. To highlight the differences in these two techniques, observe what happens when you are pulled over by a police officer. You heart rate may rise and you may become nervous, due to the fact that we have been conditioned that when we are pulled over, we are being punished (in this case, fiscally as we are given a traffic violation fine). After receiving this ticket, we learn not to speed or act behaviorally defiant around officers of the law. This is punishment and it does not create any new pattern of behavior. Now, pretend for a moment, that you are pulled over and you have done nothing wrong. You cannot fathom why you are pulled over! When the officer asks you to roll down your window he also tells you that you were pulled over because you were driving within the speed limit, using your signal, and being safe. He then hands you a gas card. This is positive reinforcement - highlighting good behaviors in order to increase the likelihood of them occurring. Which approach would make you more likely to drive safely, whether or not an officer is around?

Importance of Magnesium Chloride

     Magnesium is now recognized as one of the most crucial minerals to maintain optimal bodily function but is also recognized as one we're most deficient in. Ancient Zechstein Magnesium Oil is considered the gold standard for rapidly restoring cellular magnesium levels through the skin. This concentrated transdermally absorbable mineral supplement is not only an ultra pure magnesium chloride but has a full spectrum of other trace minerals drawn from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in Northern Europe.

Why Zechstein Minerals?

     It is the most recommended magnesium oil among health practitioners and nutritionists worldwide - recommended specifically by both Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac. OMD, author of Transdermal Magnesium Therapy and Daniel Reid, author of The Tao of Health and The Tao of Detox.

Magnesium Oil and Your Health

     Magnesium supplementation is considered essential by leading nutrition experts due to the prevalence of magnesium deficiency in the modern diet and magnesium's crucial role in over 300 fundamental biochemical reactions.

     Magnesium deficiency can affect several of the body's systems, yet many are unaware of the role it plays in optimal health. Long term studies on the impact of high magnesium and fiber diets have shown potential benefits toward cardiovascular health,123insulin resistance,45and hypertension,6as well as chronic symptoms of the muscular and neurological systems.

     Magnesium deficiency in humans can be mild or severe, and studies suggest it is more and more common. Reports published by the World Health Organization have estimated that three quarters of Americans do not meet the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of magnesium.1  How serious is this problem? Average magnesium intake in the U.S. has dwindled to less than half what it was a century ago:

     Magnesium deficiency has far-reaching impacts on health and well-being. Evidence has linked insufficient intake to a variety of conditions and symptoms, from simple irritability to chronic pain to life-threatening disease.

Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

Neurological:

Behavioral disturbances
Irritability and anxiety
Lethargy
Impaired memory and cognitive function
Anorexia or loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Seizures

Muscular:

Metabolic:

Increased intracellular calcium
Hyperglycemia
Calcium deficiency
Potassium deficiency

Cardiovascular:

Magnesium Benefits

     Magnesium's benefits can include reduced symptoms from conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue and insomnia. Magnesium may also provide protection from a number of chronic health disorders, especially those associated with aging and stress.

     Recently re-discovered as an overlooked key to good health, a number of medical researchers are recommending increases to the RDA for magnesium - sometimes suggesting as much as double the current recommendations - to ensure protection from diseases such as osteoporosis and hypertension.

     Essential to life, necessary for good health, and a vital component within our cells, magnesium's benefits help our bodies maintain balance, avoid illness, perform well under stress, and maintain a general state of good health.

A healthy lifestyle requires optimum nutrition. Maintaining a high-level of wellness requires powerful nutrition to protect cells from the stress and damaging effects of every day life. Achieving a healthy lifestyle requires high amounts of nutrients that meet or exceed the FDA's Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs).
