Back to Basics: Diet and Cellular Nutrition |
 by Jennifer Moffitt, L.Ac., Dip. OM / Licensed Acupuncturist
Many people mistakenly believe they are full of toxins and should be cleansing, moving
that colon, and take herbs that are ultimately detrimental to their overall condition. While Traditional Chinese Medicine
includes treatment for parasites and toxins when the condition warrants, I find the oriental approach to
diet is gentler, with an emphasis on strengthening the body’s ability to use the food we take in. We
are not so full of toxins as many would have you think, and toxins alone are not the cause of your
disease or fatigue, although that notion has become widely popular. The body has an innate
intelligence. When you give it food that has life force in it and basic nutrition, many times parasites
and toxic situations resolve themselves, without the harshness involved in some of the
cleansing rituals. Begin to support the healing process by enjoying a balance of fresh foods that are in season. Please
note that fresh does not necessarily mean raw. Many of us have digestion so poor that even if we ate
all those raw fruits and veggies, they would not be absorbed properly anyway. Fresh vegetables that
are lightly steamed (not boiled to death) have plenty of qi and vitality in them, and are more easily
assimilated by the body.

Women's Intuition:
An Emerging Awareness For Us All |
 by Rev. Marcella Zinner MMA, Cht. / Intuitive Counselor, Past Life Regression Therapist and Spiritual Educator
Women's intuition, which was once considered weird and unexplainable, now has a new perspective. We are beginning to hear of courses, classes, workshops and personal development seminars aimed at developing the intuitive nature. Transpersonal psychology, Intuitive Counseling, spiritual psychology , intuitive energy healing and medical intuition are a few of the courses now being offered in a variety of alternative and holistic colleges and universities. Classes and workshops are offering us a plethora of methods and training to develop our internal source of awareness a.k.a. intuition! Thus, intuition is emerging out of obscurity to a fully recognizable source of wisdom and guidance for us all. Our intuitive muscle skills can be developed, accessed and finely tuned to enhance our lives, our decisions and our happiness and our purpose. Intuition is a locked-up source just waiting for us to open up, click on and wake up. This light-bulb awareness can begin to allow our life to work for us easily, quickly and joyfully. Becoming aware of our intuitive nature is how we plug into our own internal assistant. Transformation of self through our own intuition can be fun, exciting and rewarding. Pathways open up for you. Practical daily life can become one of ease and serendipity. Opening up our own internal source, our intuition, shows us how to become aware of the opportunities surrounding us. Living well can be attained. Each one of us has intuitive potential. It is just a matter of learning how to listen to, pay attention to, and become aware of how our intuition comes to us!

Mineral-Rich Herbs Make The Difference
in Healthy Diet |
 by Susun Weed / Founder of the Wise Women Center
Minerals are critical building blocks needed for optimum functioning of the nervous system, the immune system, and all muscles - including the heart. The production of hormones also requires large amounts of minerals. During menopause 30 to 60 times more hormones are produced than at any other time of a woman's life. If the diet is not mineral-rich the deficit is drawn out of women's bones. Minerals are plentiful in well-balanced diets composed of organic whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, dairy products (especially yogurt), seafoods (especially seaweeds), and small amounts of meat. But if your diet is only partially organic, or if you limit it (by choice or necessity), or if you are menopausal, you need extra minerals. Herbs, especially the weedy ones, are minerals powerhouses. Getting those minerals isn't as easy as taking a tincture (alcohol extracts little to no minerals) or swallowing a pill (minerals are poorly utilized from encapsulated herbs) but it isn't difficult either. How do we do it? 1. Drink 1-2 cups nourishing herbal infusion each day. 2. Eat wild plants in salad. 3. Dress salads with olive oil, tamari, and 1-2 tablespoons of a tonifying herbal vinegar.

From Fat To Fit - A Formula That Works
|
 by Mary Regina / Registered Dietitian, Licensed Nutritionist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Registered Reiki Master/Teacher
Today more than 60% of adults and 20% of children are overweight. Overweight children are twice as likely to become overweight adults. Physical inactivity and poor eating habits cause 400,000 deaths each year in the U.S. Enough regular soda is produced to supply every American with 14 ounces everyday. Today's kid's meal at fast food restaurants was the regular adult meal in the 1050's. In today's "inactive", "super-sized" world, how do we prevent obesity and maintain a healthy body weight? A successful weight management program addresses emotional, mental and spiritual health in addition to physical health. The American Medical Association recognizes the correlation of regular meditation with diet and exercise modification in preventing chronic conditions such as heart disease and obesity. It is well know that our weight is linked to our emotions. Many individuals who seek the services of a holistic oriented nutritionist with the intention of losing weight also begin to realize their true identity. When we make the decision to take responsibility for our health and bodies, we are also saying "I'm ready to get to know myself." In my case, when I lost the weight in early adulthood, I was forced to face myself and my emotions. At that time, I had very little outside support. It is my hope that when you decide to make the move to a slim lifestyle, you will have the support you need. A variety of healing modalities are available to support you in achieving and maintaining desired body weight through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance.

Yoga Boosts Childrens' Self-Esteem
|
 by Shakta Kaur Khalsa / Author, Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor and Teacher Trainer, and Certified Montessori Educator
The power of yoga to improve the quality of life for our children is
an untapped resource. Although yoga has enjoyed popularity with adults for many years, it is only recently that we have come to understand how helpful it can be for children in their formative years, increasing their self-awareness, building their self-esteem, and strengthening their bodies - truly a welcomed oasis in a culture that offers little in the way of mindful yet active play. The key word is play - children care mostly about having fun, as I've discovered through my years of teaching. Adult yoga can be as serious as a person makes it, but children's yoga has got to be fun! Children can learn better in school because yoga helps coordinate the brain functions. They can play sports better because it helps physical coordination. The mental alertness that doing yoga brings helps both at school and at play. Parents will appreciate how a regular yoga practice enhances self-discipline in their children in much the same way that martial arts do. There's a good chance that adding yoga to your child's life will add relief to yours when, for example, it's time for getting them to do what they need to and not do what they shouldn't! Doing yoga together creates a meaningful ritual. Some families like to do it first thing in the morning for the best possible start on their day. As we get up in the morning, many of us experience the clouds of subconscious dreams that hang over us as we get our showers and brush our teeth. Instead of reaching for that cup of coffee to dispel the mental fog, sit down and reach for your ankles. Loosen your spine by stretching it forward and back in the Camel Ride exercise. Then move on to more of your favorite yoga exercises. By focusing on the inhale and exhale in rhythm with the movement of each exercise, both adults and children can experience the refreshing awareness of just plain being alive.
