  • The Many Benefits of Fiber
    By Quinn Raines, RN / Owner of Warm Springs Wellness Center, I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and Hydroptherapy Instructor
    Fiber is defined as “the indigestible part of fruits, seeds, vegetables, whole grains and other edible plants.” Ideally, we need 35-45 grams of fiber per day. Amazingly, the average American consumes only 10-12! Fiber helps reduce the risk of heart attack, diabetes and cancer. It also helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes bowel regularity, and boosts the immune system. Fiber eliminates calories we have already eaten, reduces the absorption of calories, and slows our body’s conversion of carbohydrates to sugar, thus supporting blood glucose stability to support weight loss. This is called a “fiber flush.” Each gram consumed flushes out 7 calories. Fiber is also a natural appetite suppressant. It takes up a large amount of space in the stomach and causes the small intestine to release a hormone called CCK (cholecystokinin). This hormone sends an important message to the brain: “Okay, I’m full now. Time to stop eating!”

    The Journey to a 'Better' Life
    by Fia Crandall / Intuitive Coach and Healer and Creator of Intuitions
    The journey toward that "better" life is really an inward journey from who you are now, who you have been unconsciously, to who you you know you can be. Yes, you take action as well. All the external things will show up, all the actions you need to take, you will take, from that new energy you. The real journey is internal. And you will be faced with external challenges on this journey. Those external challenges are there on purpose. You are being guided to that "better" place, to being that "better" you. And the challenges that come up are uniquely designed to help you do that. And when you see the challenges as not something to overcome, but something to help you create that "better" life, to become that "better you", you begin to see how truly supported you are in creating that life.

    Getting Real With Relationships
    by Earth Thunder / Indigenous Shaman and Founder of The Ancient Schools of Mysteries
    Many of us grow to believe we are not cut out for intimate love or art — that these things are for other people. Stop using love as your thermometer for relationship. Loving yourself and the overflow of that loving offered out to all who have room for your overflow, is what thriving is about. Risking loving yourself is to know your simple boundaries, and then loosen them… Boundaries safely loosened fill and flow with a kind of loving energy. A smooth, powerful river of ‘Enough’ runs through all that matters - Conduit Connected. Universal Law has no Divorce law. Wellness is your Actions, Symptoms, and Consequences.

     FEATURED MODALITY
    Reconnective Healing - The New Frequencies of Healing
    We are in the midst of an encouraging new shift on the planet, one that allows us to tap into incredible new frequencies of healing and evolution. These amazing frequencies - called Reconnective Healing frequencies - were first discovered and employed by Eric Pearl, D.C., a highly successful doctor in Los Angeles. Dr. Pearl and his staff now travel the world 45 weeks each year teaching people how to heal themselves and others on all levels of mind, body and spirit. These healings first manifested through him one day when, after 12 years of practice, his patients suddenly began to report miraculous healings from birth disfigurements, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancers, AIDS-related disorders, cerebral palsy and more. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Enough of them so that the world began to recognize that something very real was happening. And the healings came about without him needing to physically touch his patients. He merely held his hands near them!

    These frequencies have been studied by leading doctors and medical researchers worldwide as they attempt to explain their power, source and function. Internationally prominent natives of Arizona, Gary Schwartz, PhD and William Tiller, PhD, are currently conducting new research programs on these frequencies. Their highly anticipated results are expected to be published later this year.

     FEATURED BOOK
    LIFE and MIND —
    In Search of
    the Physical Basis

    Edited by Savely Savva

    Contemporary physics cannot explain life. The postulated concept of the biofield control system and experimental and theoretical works presented in LIFE and MIND - In Search of the Physical Basis suggest ways to broaden current scientific paradigm. Experimental studies presented and referred to in this book suggest that the operation of the organism cannot be reduced to chemical interactions since contemporary chemistry knows only electric and thermal forces; that the biological nuclear synthesis presented by Louis Kervran in 1960-80's is not a myth; that the non-structural memory of water manifests itself at organism, cellular and enzymes levels; that human intent and / or expectation may effect cellular equilibrium, etc.
