Healing Hearts with Yoga |
 by Susan Winter Ward / Yoga Instructor, Author, And Video Producer (YogaHeart.com)
We know that yoga relaxes us and reduces stress. We know that a vegetarian diet is healthier. We know we're more relaxed and effective if we take time to meditate. We know we need a bit of aerobic exercise daily, and that sharing our lives with friends and family in deep and meaningful ways is of great value for emotional and psychological wellbeing. What we're discovering, scientifically, is that all of these positive activities combined with yoga heals our hearts. The program for reversing and preventing Coronary Artery Disease is really very simple, however it takes a steadfast dedication and is actually a lifestyle change for most people. Given the choice of having "open heart bypass" surgery, which is a temporary intervention, or doing yoga and eating vegetables, which is prevention and regression of the disease, which would you choose? Based on the elements of a healthy lifestyle, you can create more awareness to enable you to make choices that will keep your heart, and the rest of your body, mind and spirit healthy as well. This scientifically proven program consists of four elements: a vegetarian low fat diet, yoga, exercise, and a support group.

Cures for the Wintertime Blues |
 by Tanya Paulsen / Natural Lifestyles Consultant and Certified Rolfer
Along with the winter season often comes cold and flu season but also one other ailment that often goes undiagnosed or even unnoticed; the winter blues or seasonal affective disorder (SADS). Women are more likely to suffer from this depression-like disorder than men and it can be stress levels that contribute to this. Whether it is everyday stresses or the holiday season stresses it is important to remember that it is not the event itself that is stressful but 'how' we handle the event. Slowing down and doing Meditation is one way to gain peace and increase vibration levels, as well as Deep Breathing Practice, which will also relax and calm the mind. The effects of Full Spectrum Lighting are similar to natural sunlight and can relieve a number of disorders including SADS, migraines and premenstrual syndrome. The full wavelength spectrum that comes from sunlight triggers impulses that regulate most bodily functions. Another easy way to increase positive vibration in our bodies is the use of pure essential oils - Aromatherapy. Essential oils have high vibrations and just smelling or applying them to the body increases our vibration. Citrus oils are especially effective in lifting your mood. There are many oils to choose from all highly beneficial for different issues you may have. You may even want to experiment with some that remind you of summer.

Arthritis and Aromatherapy |
 by Mireille Gautschi / Qualified Flower Essence Therapist and Herbalist
Since the reasons for the occurance of arthritis are still not completely established, it is difficult to find a cure for the disease. Arthritis could be genetic, it could have to do with bone density loss, it could also be a type of infection caused by toxins released in the body. Even more likely it is a combination of several factors. It is - at this stage - only possible to treat the pain and symptoms caused by arthritis but not its underlying cause. Aromatherapy is one form of arthritis treatment, using a variety of essential oils. They can be added to the bath, massaged into the skin, inhaled or applied as compresses. The right mixture of essential oils will help to relax, promote pain relief and alleviate fatigue. Essential oils can also provide psychological benefits like improving the mood and reducing anxiety. Some of the more suitable arthritis oils are Lavender, Juniper, Thyme, Rosemary, Benzoe, Eucalyptus, Camomile, Pine Scotch, Camphor, Angelica Root, Ginger, Origanum, Black Pepper and Lemon. One of the most effective ways to use aromatherapy for relieving pain and reducing inflammation are hot compresses. Another good way to use aromatherapy for arthritis relieve is to rub diluted essential oils (see above for dilution) onto pulse points and affected areas during the day. Applying essential oils throughout the day can help to alleviate pain and tension. The essential oils on the skin are quickly absorbed and enter the bloodstream. This is an excellent form of arthritis relief and works also well as a preventative measure.

The Ifa Medicine of West Africa
|
 by Dr. L.B. Grotte, M.D. / Physician and Acupuncturist
Just as in Tibetan medicine, there are aspects of the spiritual tradition of Ifa medicine that may not be communicated to the uninitiated. Nevertheless, as with other traditional medicines, both physicians and patients can learn to understand some of the perspectives that these systems bring to our world view. As with most orthodox systems of religion, practitioners of Ifa embed themselves in a complex system of tribal and cultural obligations, which determine not only the view point of the practitioner regarding external phenomenon, but also immutably affirms the connection between human beings and the world around them. In parallel with Taoism, education in Ifa creates an appreciation that the individual cannot be removed from the matrix of relationships which extend beyond those of humanity and the animal realm. Within this tribal system, the web of influences of natural cycles of the day, season, and phase of life surround the patient. Subtle influences from the plant world and realms of sentient beings, which find their abode in the wind, the earth, the sky, and other places, are accepted realities to the Ifa herbalist and physician. Disease is primarily understood as a disorder or misalignment of the internal or external milieu of the patient. Part of the role of the physician is to align the patient with the matrix of influences that will rebalance their particular disorder. Sometimes also, a disorder develops as a result of losing or ignoring a relationship with a matrix of influence. Utilizing non familiar forms of diagnosis, such as divination and dream interpretation, in addition to the traditional format of questioning, observation and touching, the Ifa physician may use familiar techniques of dietary therapy, psychotherapy, surgery, and herbal medicine, but may also perform exorcisms, rituals, sacrifices and other procedures which seem more the province of priests than physicians.

Soul Retrieval Through Shamanic Journeying
|
 by Susan Friday / Reiki and Seichem Master
Spiritual healing as practiced by shamans is the oldest form of healing that we know. Shamans from many cultures have developed methods to treat dis-ease based on the unity of body, mind and spirit. The defining characteristic of shamanic work is that the shaman enters an altered state of consciousness and then 'journeys' into non-ordinary reality to obtain answers to questions (in divination) or to bring about healing. A shaman works with spirit guides and attributes the work done to the One True Heart. The term 'Soul' as used here brings to mind other synonyms: life force, core essence, energy consciousness, being. Shamans view most emotional and psychological imbalance as an indication that soul loss has occurred. When a person suffers from a physical or psychological trauma, a part of their soul essence1 splits off - a psychologist might use the term dissociates - and finds a haven in one of several realms of reality. In a way the splitting-off is a protective measure to help one survive traumas such as accidents, abuse or shock. In some cases another person may be holding onto a soul part. They have 'stolen' a part to exert control in a relationship. Soul Retrieval is the recovery of fragments that have been trapped, lost or stolen, either by another person or through traumatic incident. Taking back control of your life is at the heart of this healing method. The objective is to become more whole, more present, more conscious.
