Soul Shifts is the groundbreaking new book from New York Times best-selling author and renowned transformational teacher Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D. In her most powerful offering yet, the culmination of her life’s work, Dr. De Angelis offers a practical handbook for awakening and a brilliant revisioning of the journey of transformation that will inspire and enlighten longtime seekers as well as new arrivals to the path of spiritual growth.

Soul Shifts are radical, vibrational internal shifts that spontaneously and inevitably transform the way you relate to yourself, to others and to the world. When you learn how to make these Soul Shifts on the inside, everything on the outside shifts.

This book will take you on a sacred inner journey to emotional and spiritual rebirth and lasting attainment.

Truly Alive, formerly Living Naturally Magazine is New Mexico’s holistic magazine & resource guide—created for those interested in natural, healthy, and spiritual ways of living. Serving the progressive, alternative health, spiritual communities since 1990, Truly Alive endeavors to help readers discover a healthy, natural approach and creative solutions to their individual life needs. Each issue is filled with articles by leading holistic doctors and practitioners, and spiritual ambassadors, providing the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to achieving a healing lifestyle for body, mind, spirit and the planet.

Truly Alive, formerly Living Naturally Magazine, has been published in New Mexico since 1990 and currently prints 18,000-22,000 copies every two months.

While I usually feature a book on healthy eating or weight loss on the cover of my January/February, issue, Soul Shi� s compelled me to

feature it. It is my hope that you will use it to propel yourself into your life in new and amazing ways.

I could say a lot about this book; Soul Shi� s is a standout. I’ve read it twice, which is unprecedented as I am nearly always o� to read the next book for the next cover when I � nish one. However, this book is so compelling for readers (and myself) that I couldn’t put it down. � e author, Dr. Barbara De Angelis’ intention for readers to awaken as quickly as possible, and the love she exudes from the book is so prevalent that you can’t help but feel it when you read it. Barbara o� ers all of the wisdom she has gained in consciousness work over many years and said this is the culmination of her life’s work. If you have enjoyed anything else she has written, or if you are committed to awaken in the shortest amount of time possible, this book is de� nitely for you.

� e exercises are easy to use and extremely powerful. � e interview is one of the best I’ve published and I hope you’ll read it. In fact, while most interviews are completed in about an hour, Barbara’s and mine lasted 2 hours and we will be including the longer interview in the online version of the magazine.

If you read Soul Shi� s, or even if you read the interview, I would really love to hear feedback. In my opinion, I think this is one of the most groundbreaking books in consciousness work ever written.

May your 2016 be the very best year of your life, and may Soul Shi� s truly transform you. It has that potential.

Many blessings,

De Angelis Mantra:Today I am going to see what

there is to see,To feel what there is to feel,

And to know what there is to know

A Beautiful New YOU in 2016! By Louise Swartswalter, ND, CBS, CNHP

Dr. Louise is a Naturopathic Doctor, Biofeedback Specialist, Success Coach and health educator. We work with YOU to accomplish your health goals and correct imbalances in the least number of sessions possible. Call today for your appointment: 505-797-0540 or visit: www.candicethomasintuitive.com

Do you want to be stress-free, have more energy, sleep better, have great skin and a great body? Have you tried other modalities/therapies with

little results? We tend to get the clients that have been around. Join our Beautiful Amazing You Anti-Aging Group. FREE Meeting Jan. 13, 2016 at 6:30 PM in the o� ce. See events

We are excited about our results with personal clients, groups, classes and coaching. Doug came in with blood sugars � uctuating so extremely that the VA gave up and put him on hospice. � e neuropathy in his hands and feet was so bad he could hardly move. He was on thirteen medications and losing weight. In all chronic diseases, it is digestion and the brain that need attention. First, we changed his diet of carbs and sugar to healthy natural foods and lots of probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and sauerkraut. Doug’s wife, a nurse/healer was instrumental in following and implementing this plan. Cleaning out the parasites (protozoans and pancreatic � ukes—o� en the cause of diabetes), adding super powerful digestive enzymes and rebuilding nerves in the brain using frequency medicine has transformed these imbalances.

It has only been � ve weeks and Doug’s pain is reduced by half! His mobility, digestion and mood has improved 90%! Today, he is walking, raising his arms, engaging in conversation and smiles ear to ear. Yes! Doug shares a few words here: https://youtu.be/TgjCipYSQzo

If you are in pain, sick of being sick, stuck and want to get back your mojo, give us a call.

Tell Your Story in Truly Alive By Karen Larré

If you have a business that is natural health-oriented or spiritually focused, Truly Alive readers want to read about it! 2015 was Truly Alive’s 25th year in print and

its 3rd year as an online publication. Year a� er year, I hear from loyal readers who thank me for doing what I do. Some readers have shared deep gratitude for a particular article or o� ering that changed their lives! It heartens me to hear stories such as these and a� rms the work I so love doing.

SOME TIPS FOR WRITING ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS:• Start with bene� ts: Readers don’t care nearly as much

about what you do or how you do it, as they do about what your service or product can do for them. It’s more important to make the bene� ts clear to the reader—� rst. Once the “what’s in it for them” is clear, then you can explain how things work and what the reader can expect.

• Use language that most readers can understand: Write simply, so that the average person can easily understand what you are trying to communicate.

2016: The Year of E X PA N S I O N By Stephen P. Weiss, M.D., Holistic/Integrative Medical Doctor & Classical Homeopath

It is my great pleasure to inform you that we are moving forward with our dream to expand our space and services; construction is scheduled

to be complete in early 2016, hopefully in January. � e impetus for this expansion has been the results patients are experiencing using BEMER Vascular Technology. We will now have a designated BEMER room, and will be able to treat 2 patients simultaneously. We are also expanding our IV services, and will be o� ering Vitamin C, Glutathione and Meyer’s Cocktail for starters. Cristiane Scolfaro, a very gi� ed, intuitive Reiki Master with a heart of gold, is joining our team as an independent contractor and will o� er powerful and exquisitely relaxing Reiki sessions at the clinic (I never fail to “go out” during one of her sessions).

A� er seeing � rst-hand and hearing rave reviews from our patients about the quality and impact of Dr. Walter Cohen D.O’s hands-on Cranial Osteopathy work, we are actively seeking a Cranial Osteopath to practice out of the Center, and have an o� ce reserved for this purpose. We would love him to set up shop with us, but for now at least he is committed to residency training at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine—one of the � nest Osteopathic Manipulation training facilities in the country. Our reception area is expanding (thank God), and one wing of the Center will be reserved for lectures, and will also be available for rental to the general public. I will be lecturing regularly on the remarkable health bene� ts of the BEMER and other topics.

In October, I attended 2 inspiring BEMER conferences in San Diego—a BEMER Academy (more about this later), and the annual 2015 BEMER Convention, where I met fascinating folk and heard deeply inspiring stories about the impact of Bemer on people’s lives and health which literally brought me to tears on more than one occasion. At the BEMER Convention, I met Prof. Dr. Med. Rainer Klopp, founder and Director of the Berlin Institute for Microcirculation and one of the leading � gures in this relatively new area of medical science. He and his team performed the research which documented very signi� cant increases in blood � ow, oxygen and nutrient delivery within the body as well as waste removal in patients a� er receiving BEMER sessions. I attended several hours of his lectures about the basic and clinical science behind BEMER technology, which was fascinating. Dr. Klopp’s research is absolutely groundbreaking. His colleague Prof. Dr. Fred Harms, M.D., PhD, Chief Medical O� cer of BEMER International, just spoke at one of the most prestigious Diabetes Conferences in the world, BIT’s 5th

Annual World Congress of Diabetes 2015, along with 2 Nobel Prize Winners!

At the BEMER Academy, I also met and have stayed in contact with a woman from the East Coast whose company is dedicated to � nding novel solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems by bringing the best and the brightest together from various � elds to collaborate in sustainable ecovillages. She also happens to be a BEMER Distributor. She inspired me with her vision, dedication to service, ethics and her manifesting

abilities. When she attributed a great deal of her personal transformation over the last few years and � owering of her business to her work with Feng Shui Masters Pamela Edwards Ryan and Michael White Ryan of Language of Space LLC, in Las Vegas, NV, I decided to approach them to explore the possibility of our working together to maximize the healing energies of our expanded o� ce. I reviewed their proposal and a� er crunching the numbers, decided I could not � t their services into our budget. � en something magically serendipitous happened! On the day I planned to call them and decline their o� er, 4 patients who had been renting the BEMER for an 8 week trial period (which as of October 1st has increased to 10 weeks) and Melissa, our talented Nurse Practitioner, all decided to purchase their BEMERS on the same day. � e commission I made from these 5 sales was the EXACT same amount as the cost of hiring Language of Space as consultants!!! Although at times I have di� culty hearing the whispers of the Universe, this was a shout that I could not ignore. I � ew them out Nov. 5-7, and have been very pleased with their insights, recommendations and support. Hopefully you will discover � rst-hand the impact their work has had on our Center.

Another fascinating and extremely accomplished Bemer user and distributor I befriended at the BEMER Convention, is Dr. Celeste Yarnell. Celeste is best known for her roles on the big screen. She played across Elvis Presley himself as Ellen, the beautiful young woman Elvis romanced with the song, “A Little Less Conversation”, in the � lm, Live a Little, Love a Little (1968), and made a guest appearance on the original Star Trek TV series as Yeoman Martha Landon (Chekov’s love interest). Celeste studied for and received her PhD in nutrition in 1998 and has served as adjunct professor of nutrition at Paci� c

Western University. In addition, Celeste has written two best-selling books: Natural Cat Care: A Complete Guide to Holistic Care for Cats, and Natural Dog Care: A Complete Guide to Holistic Care for Dogs. If this weren’t beyond enough, she, like myself, is a classical homeopath! Celeste is passionate about the amazing bene� ts of BEMER, having experienced them � rst-hand in herself and her clients (including four-leggeds), and has been recommending the device for years. She and I were both featured speakers on a recent “teleseminar” sponsored by BEMER India on 11/12/15. 1 year ago, in the � rst article I wrote about the BEMER for Truly Alive, I wrote: “I think Dr. Spock and company would be pretty jazzed about the BEMER”. Little did I know that at the very time when that was written, it was already true—literally!

BEMER’S growth in this country has been astonishing. Between March and October 2015, sales of BEMER devices in the US increased 500%, and this growth continues to ac-celerate. Nevertheless, BEMER is still very much in its early stages here and around the world. Interest in and sales of BEMERS in Albuquerque are so brisk that the CEO of Be-mer India, Chitvan Malik (whom I have had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions and working with), has decided to hold a BEMER Academy here in the Duke City at the Mar-riott Uptown, January 29-31 (2 ½ days), which will attract people from all over the country. � e Academy is an ideal way for those interested in learning more about BEMER, to

Please join me Tuesday, January 12 from 6 to 8 pm at my office for a lecture, discussion and free Bemer sessions, as well as to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming Bemer Academy. To register for my talk or the Bemer Academy, please call my office at 505-872-2611 and speak with Felicia. Deadline for signing up for the Academy is January 14. www.drstephenweiss.com

hear � rst-hand from many people how BE-MER has enhanced their health and well-being, to learn hands-on how to use the technology, and also receive a wealth of information on how to build a successful BEMER business. It’s also great fun!

I have always been an advocate for Win-Win solutions in my life, and BEMER is about as Win-Win as it gets. I hope and pray that 2016 is a year of abundant blessings, grace and health for all. I look forward to seeing you at my talk (see below) and at the BEMER Academy. Namaste

Micro-needling is one of the newest, most e� ective, least invasive skin treatments available. Micro-needling has been proven in many clinical stud-

ies to be as/or more e� ective than other treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or dermabrasion, at a fraction of the cost.

Scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin tone are all a result of insu� cient collagen. Micro-needling promotes collagen production which increases the formation of new skin and thickens the dermis or deeper layer of skin without damaging or removing the epidermis or top layers of skin.

Watch the two minute ABC News video featuring micro-needling on Good Morning America at: https://goo.gl/RGWQDO

We use a pen-shaped, skin needling device with a sterile, single use, � ne needle tip and collagen-stimulating products. � e pen creates thousands of micro-channels ranging in depth from 0.5mm to 2.0mm. By using a 36-needle tip, we

can create three times the number of micro-channels—which yields better results than most clinics which use an 11 or 12-needle tip. In response to the treatment, the skin plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars, � ne lines and wrinkles.

Most patients report feeling a tightening of the skin right a� er the treatment. � e skin will look smoother, more radiant and continue to improve over the following weeks.

During the treatment, patients will feel a tingling “prickly” sensation. � e depth setting will be di� erent depending on the goal and the part of the face being treated. For scar treatments, numbing cream can be used if necessary.

Micro-needling treatments should be separated by 4 to 6 weeks depending on the depth of the treatment. Most patients will be very happy with their results a� er 2 or 3 treatments. For patients with more signi� cant goals such as scar reduction, 3 to 6 treatments may be recommended and should be scheduled at 6 week intervals. Micro-needling is primarily used on the face but can be used on other parts of the body for many skin conditions.

Yes, your chiropractor manipulates your sacrum and you feel better for one or two days, maybe a week. � en the low back and sacrum pain returns with a

vengeance and the pain goes roaring down the back of your thigh and calf to your foot.

� ere is a reason this is happening and we can do something about it. Originally, we were taught that the sacrum could rotate and sidebend. And it does do that. But recently, I have found that the sacrum can also be held posterior (back) by the Fascia. When this happens, the lateral edges of the sacrum rub against the Ilium (hip bones).

� is area where the sacrum and ilium meet is called the SI Joint—Sacrum/Ilium Joint. And many of the nerves that exit in this area travel all the way down to your feet.

Now, we have a problem as these nerves are being compressed depending on what you have been doing and in what position you have been keeping your body.

Releasing the Fascia above, around and over the sacrum is the key. Recently, I have treated several cases that once we released this thick, restricted Fascia; the sacrum is free to move appropriately. � en we do a Muscle Energy Technique to bring the sacrum into proper alignment. When the person gets o� the table, they can do a mini-back bend with no pain and also � ex and bend their back in any direction without pain. It is quite exciting.

I so enjoy working and coordinating treatment with Chiropractors. Once we have released the very thick and restricted � oracolumbar Fascia above, around and over the sacrum, then a Chiropractic adjustment will hold with lasting relief of the Sciatic Pain. I suggest about six appointments initially to get your pain under control.

Call MyoRehab at 505-872-3100 and make an appointment.

Holistic Dental Services... Relax, You’re in Good Hands! By Sandi Ganshaw, MS

Because our private dental practice is small, we are able to provide personalized and attentive treatment to each and every one of our patients. We e� ectively treat both

a patient’s smile and, in turn, their overall health. Specializing in holistic hygiene and dentistry, we are able to enhance and maintain your oral health, while simultaneously bene� ting many other aspects of your health.

At the heart of holistic dentistry is a focus on the entire body. We are aware of the fact that the materials used in the mouth can have e� ects far beyond the mouth, which is why we are very careful when choosing which ones to use.

In the past, dentistry relied heavily on the use of metals such as silver, copper, and mercury in dental restorations. We are now aware of the dangers and toxicity associated with using these materials and we understand how they can compromise your health. While the American Dental Association stands behind the use of amalgam � llings, (which are the single greatest source of mercury exposure), Dr. Gauntt makes the decision not to use this material based on studies which have shown it to be detrimental to health. He utilizes only biocompatible materials to provide the safest and healthiest treatment options available.

If you are looking for a peaceful and soothing environment for your holistic dental care, Sandi’s Smiles is your answer. We are located in the convenient and popular area of the Old Town District with a private holistic Hygienist and Dentist and our patients love our relaxing atmosphere!

Call us to schedule a cleaning with Doris Turcott, CPDH or to schedule dental services with Davis Gauntt, DDS: 505-243-1546. We accept most insurances, including Medicaid.

Guidelines for Your Best Brain Health in 2016 By Pamela Costello, MD, PhD, Holistic Neurosurgeon, Neuroscientist

Asour ecosystem becomes increasingly saturated with man-made toxins, it is no coincidence that human neurologic disease is simultaneously reaching epi-

demic numbers. We inspire, ingest, and absorb through our skin, the same neurotoxic agents that are damaging our planet.

� e overwhelming cause of neurologic disease stems from bioaccumulated environmental toxins which we store over time until our nervous, endocrine, immune, and gastrointestinal systems become dysfunctional.

GUIDELINES INCLUDE:1. Healthy Diet, Clean Drinking Water. Eat organic, non-

GMO, whole foods as much as possible. Complex carbs like Quinoa provide a slow metabolizing protein and carbohydrate source for healthy neurotransmitter formation. Use only safe, clean drinking and cooking water. Tap water and many bottled waters are not healthy drinking water.

2. Exercise. Our lymphatic systems help remove toxins, and even stretching helps move toxins out of our extremities. Mild to moderate exercise produces endorphins and improves brain circulation.

3. Adequate Rest. REM (restorative) sleep allows our brains

to properly recover, repair, and clear toxins. If restful sleep eludes you, consider your brain’s toxicities issues, as they act to disrupt REM sleep.

4. Healthy Mindset. Are life’s challenges obstacles to you, seen as obstructions to your development, or merely stepping stones, allowing you to move forward? Meditation, a� rmations, and prayer all help. Although 90% of the base cause of neurological dysfunction is environmental, the other 10% represents our attitude towards life.

5. Healthy Hygiene Products/Practices. What we put on or near our bodies, dramatically a� ects our brains. Perfumes and personal hygiene products are full of toxic chemicals which act to in� ame the brain and cause neurologic dysfunction.

6. Healthy Home Environment. Using cleaning agents that contain toxic solvents/cleansers, or use of pesticides, may kill germs or unwanted insects, but simultaneously acts to damage our nervous systems. Keep only non-toxic cleaning and pest control products in your home, such as baking soda.

7. Healthy Mouth. Do not allow toxic dental products to be placed in your mouth or used as oral hygiene agents. Mercury ‘silver’ � llings are singularly one of the greatest neurotoxins known to man and outgas toxic mercury directly into our brains and bodies. Fluoride is also a well-established neurotoxin. Consult a biological dentist to safely remove all existing toxic agents from your mouth.

8. Good Mental Hygiene. Mental or cognitive exercises such as regular reading, puzzles, playing music, and other art forms, keep the brain active and healthy.

9. Joy. Creating a joyful life by managing stress and allowing or creating things in your life that elevate your sense of well-being helps maintain good brain health by the positive chemical changes that accompany the state of joy or peace. Contrarily, anxiety, worry, or stress, create an in� ammatory, destructive environment that prematurely ages the brain.

10. Be Responsible. Ultimately our health and wellness depend greatly on our own intentions and actions. With a healthcare system focusing on suppressive drugs and treatments, personal responsibility for achieving and maintaining good health is removed. Focus on awareness and avoidance of toxic agents and behaviors as a means of prevention.

As we begin to store toxins during our development and continue to accumulate them throughout our lives, we contribute to the ‘aging’ process of our bodies and brains. Identifying and clearing stored toxins, as well as avoiding ongoing exposures, allows you to achieve your best brain health and thrive!

Dentistry, as with all healthcare, must necessarily pro-vide the safest, least toxic, yet e� ective treatment for patients in order to achieve healing/wellness, while

minimizing any stress to the patient’s biological terrain.1. Mercury Fillings. � e scienti� c evidence has well estab-

lished two facts: � rstly, that amalgam � llings release mer-cury in signi� cant quantities in the form of toxic vapor, thereby creating measurable exposure for patients and, secondly, that chronic exposure to mercury, as in the quan-tity released by amalgams, causes physiological harm. Sig-ni� cantly, there exists a “Grandfather Clause” provided by the FDA, that states a manufacturer need only demonstrate that a new dental device or material is “substantially equiv-alent” to one that legally existed prior to May 28, 1976. However, in current day, if a new implantable material that is 50% mercury and leaches micrograms of mercury per day were presented for approval for use in the hu-man body, it certainly wouldn’t be approved. Mercury amalgams are totally unnecessary anymore, and from the biocompatibility standpoint, they are totally insupportable.

2. Biocompatibility of Dental Materials. In a 2001 survey, the Clinical Research Associates Newsletter (a dental news-letter) asked the question: “What is your most deciding factor in choosing a dental � lling material?” � e answers by dentists were not unexpected: durability, 47%; patient preference, 22%; esthetics, 12%; ease of use, 10%; biocom-patibility, 4%. Why is biocompatibility such a low prior-ity? Dentists are clearly most concerned that their work is comfortable, good looking and long lasting. � e majority of dentists appear to believe that the biocompatibility of den-tal materials and procedures is a settled issue. It turns out, though, that our customary materials and procedures range from very benign to frankly, toxic. Individuals vary in their biochemical and immunological responses. � erefore, bio-compatibility testing to help determine the least reactive materials to use with each individual patient is an impor-tant service, especially if the patient su� ers from allergies, environmental sensitivity, or autoimmune diseases.

3. Root Canals and Dead Teeth. Any other dead body part would be removed or amputated, however dentistry keeps dead body parts. � e controversy’s origin lies in the question of residual populations of microbes in the microscopic dentinal tubules—whether or not root canal techniques adequately disinfect them, or keep them disinfected; and how those bacteria and fungal organisms di� use out of the tooth, and into circulation. Besides the toxic e� ect of the dead tooth, there is also the issue of how such teeth a� ect the associated energy meridians to distant organs and structures.

My Top Dental Health Care Issues for 2016 By Bill Wolfe, DDS

Bill Wolfe D.D.S.

After restoring my own good health by clearing my body of mercury toxicity, I have spent my career helping others to do the same. Please call me if I can be of assistance to you. 505-299-6950, www.drwolfe.com

4. Fluoride. � e evidence of the harmful e� ects of � uoride accumulation in the human body and lack of e� ectiveness with reducing tooth decay continues to mount. Any honest appraisal of the risks and bene� ts of water � uoridation would lead to the conclusion that it must be stopped.

5. Environmental Concerns. Dental o� ces have been collectively identi� ed as the major source of mercury pollution in wastewater, and regulatory action is in place in many jurisdictions requiring dental o� ces to install mercury separators on their waste water lines.

Twenty First Century Dentistry: In the “old days”, when the only restorative materials were amalgam or gold, it was di� cult for dentistry to ful� ll its mission and be biologically discriminating at the same time. Today, we can do better dentistry, in a less toxic, more individualized, more environmentally friendly way than ever...if dentistry chooses to do so.


Who Says Bras and Antiperspirants Cause Cancer? By Dr. Carla Garcia, DOM

There is always something to worry about and now many of the major networks are running television commercials saying “crazy naturalists” are trying

to scare your bra o� of you for no good reason! Really??

In the thermographic images to the le� ; warmer temperatures are indicated by red, orange and yellow (white is the hottest area in the image)—cooler temperatures are indicated by green and blue. � e warmer colors are indicating areas of mild to moderate in� ammation. In� ammation does not equal cancer; but it usually precedes it and le� untreated can lead to more serious disease.

Does this mean you should never wear an underwire bra? Absolutely not. We all like to dress up and most of us need help from a nice underwire

bra to “li� and separate”, but we don’t need to wear a constricting undergarment every single day of the week.

According to “Common Fears With No Evidence: Antiperspirants and Bras” posted by www.breastcancer.org; underwire bras do not increase cancer risk but being overweight does. “Women who are overweight are more likely to have larger breasts and wear a bra. Women who don’t wear bras are more likely to be at a healthy weight.”

Well, all I have to say to that is...the woman in the above images is anything but overweight and yet her underwire bra was causing increased heat/ in� ammation around the breast area.

So, what’s the big deal about antiperspirants? Almost all antiperspirants contain aluminum and it’s a toxic metal. Aluminum has been linked to cancer and even neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. It has xenoestrogenic e� ects and negatively impacts the immune system.

In the illustration of the lymph nodes in the “axillary” area (underarm), there is a high concentration of lymph nodes exactly where we ap-ply aluminum-containing an-tiperspirants. We know that whatever we apply to our skin is absorbed very easily; that is why transdermal medications are e� ective. It just doesn’t make sense to apply a toxic metal to any area of the body; much less the underarms where there is a concentration of lymph nodes and lymph ducts that carry toxins away from the breast tissue.

� ermography is the best and only way to see if you have in� ammation in the breast area and underarms. It is a safe and painless breast screening and every screening includes images of the underarm area.

Comparative studies to see if underwire bras and antiperspirants were risks for breast cancer used mammography (radiation and compression). Mammograms show changes in tissue density but cannot image in� ammation. We want to image the in� ammation in our bodies before it becomes a change in tissue density so that we can make lifestyle changes to prevent cancer. It’s easier to make changes if you have a picture con� rming the need to avoid antiperspirants and underwire bras. � ermography accomplishes this beautifully.

Mayan Abdominal Massage By Coral Pitkin, CNP

If you feel you could benefit from Arvigo Mayan Abdominal Massage or a health consult, call Coral Pitkin, CNP to schedule a treatment today! 575-613-6118.

What comes to mind when I ask if you have a health concern? If you are a woman, do these words come to mind?: Hot � ashes, incontinence, prolapse,

PMS, painful moon, irregular moon, way too much bleeding, � broids, fertility sadness, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, low vital force energy? Male or female, how about: low back pain, constipation, or other digestion issues? � e uterus can get out of position due to many causes; pregnancy and child birth, accidents involving the pelvis, abuse, poor diet, being overweight. � is massage helps to bring the uterus back into alignment and in turn aids all the other structures in the pelvis to clear congestion and improve function (also may help prostate and fertility for men).

� e Arvigo Technique of Mayan Abdominal � erapy® (ATMAT) is the most powerful holistic approach to health and wellness for women I’ve ever found. � is non-invasive, external massage nurtures reproductive, digestive, lymphatic and vascular health by massaging the abdomen, low back, sacrum and hips.

ATMAT® works with prayer and massage to open blockages and create � ow to reduce congestion. ATMAT gently corrects pelvic structures to restore optimal blood � ow, lymph, circulation and Qi. � e Pelvic bowl is the spiritual power center for women and men. It is also a place where energy ‘settles’ and congestion can develop over the years of our lives. In the Mayan Cosmology, Ixchel is a Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Energetically, we are all of these all of the time.

� is path of learning began in 2011, but I have been a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for more than15 years. I am committed to supporting women in a loving/accepting way. I think women Rock! (And that they are never told that enough.)

Painting You a Picture By Bill Haggard, All About Health

L et’s start at birth. A Mom and dad get together, his sperm meets her egg and their ancestry is exchanged. � ere is an “Instant” and “Progressive” download. � is

is delivered to this child who is continually developing some traits that come from mom and dad, grandparents, great grandparents, even the long forgotten great, great grandparents. You never know what will show up in this child.

� e health of this child, (and you) depends on many things including the diet and lifestyle of the parents prior to conception as well as the mental, emotional, and environmental health of the couple.

Most parents don’t even know how to take care of themselves let alone a baby. In a perfect world, both parents would plan ahead before conceiving a child. In addition to the usual planning, they would clean up their diets, and fast and cleanse prior to conception so that the egg and sperm were the healthiest possible. � e parents would continue a healthy lifestyle, so the baby would have the best start in life; from the mother’s milk to organic foods later on. � is way, the child would be learning the rules of good health as living them becomes a way of life.

However, in a not so perfect world, things come along that sabotage our healthy development. Unhealthy emotions such as anger, rage, criticism, disgust, sarcasm, etc. take their toll on numerous systems of the body including the colon. We breathe less than healthful air, drink not so pure water, eat toxic foods including additives the body does not recognize, we lack restful sleep, and neglect moderate exercise. We are also bombarded daily with electronics, EMFs and information overload.

So every day of the child’s life and (your life too) the body, mind, soul, and spirit are growing and developing with these daily inputs, some good, some bad. � e body is like a recorder: some of the inputs it can digest and assimilate easily, but others not so easily and those don’t get processed or eliminated. � ey get stored in our tissues, organs, glands, muscles, joints and bones.

� is process is forever going on. Whatever cannot be digested, assimilated or eliminated will be stored. A� er 40 years or so, our bodies’ storage capacities reach their limits and can no longer hold the toxins or unprocessed buried emotions. � e toxins begin to circulate, raising havoc in our bodies, causing sickness, tiredness, sleeplessness, emotional outbursts, weight issues and more.

In a less than ideal world, it is always a good time to cleanse…to consciously take charge of your diet and help your body mentally, emotionally, physically and environmentally. � e very best way to help the body get rid of excess toxic accumulation is with daily enemas and weekly colonics.NOTE: Since overloaded conditions didn’t happen overnight, don’t expect one or two sessions of any kind to bring about complete repair or permanent restoration. Reclaiming health is a journey that requires consistent positive inputs; daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. Helping the body eliminate its excess toxins is of the utmost importance, if you want to avoid the ER or a nursing home, a walker, or a wheelchair. All disease or symptoms, whatever they are, come about due to toxic accumulations or overloads. “Get rid of them” or they will get rid of you.

Release Old Energies: Prepare for Spring By Maggie Mathisen

Would you like to release old energies which do not serve you? � ese energies could be from parents, others you have met, situations you

have experienced, past lives or more. What they are from, or where you picked them up, is not as important as your desire to release them. I can help. By seeing energies hanging around, I can lovingly facilitate their moving on.

While any time is great to do this work, let’s use the metaphor of earth cycles. Just as with the earth, we have already sown the seeds of our next shi� s in consciousness. And although we may want to realize these shi� s now, it is not the time. � e deep of winter is the time when the � elds lay fallow and so with us, it is the time to energetically move deep inside and nurture ourselves for the coming spring when our seeds will sprout. Now is the time to clean the garden in preparation for spring. It is a great opportunity to clear unwanted energies, patterns or beliefs from our energy � eld. � en, when we begin to manifest the new us, our dreams and aspirations will not be choked out by the weeds of the past.

How do I clear unwanted energies? First I “look” to see what is there. I know when I see something, it is ready to heal. I get very quiet inside and ask to establish a rapport with whatever it is. I then listen to what this energy wants to tell us. I have found that all energies want to heal…to become light. I assist the energies to merge with the light and heal. All this is possible with the help of my spirit guides and healers.

� is process is eased and even sped up by the addition of the BEMER Pad. You are likely to have heard of it, as there is much about it in this issue. � e BEMER is an electro-magnetic pad which a person lays on. It’s great at relieving pain and stimulates the immune system for maximum cleaning by clearing toxins from the micro-capillaries. When used during a healing session, the negative energy in the person seems to be loosened and I get the impression

that the energy is just ready to fall away. � is happens very quickly because the pad emits the frequency of a healthy cell and consequently all the cells in the body begin to entrain with this vibration. As this happens, old energies can more easily be let go. I � nd working with the pad to be amazing.

My sessions shi� a person from their sympathetic nervous system (� ght or � ight) to their para-sympathetic nervous system (where all healing happens). In the para-sympathetic system, a person is able to experience happiness, ecstasy and peace. I � nd that the BEMER also shi� s people to the para-sympathetic system and this is why the healings are so much faster with the use of the pad.

Healing these energies is healing across dimensions. Healing across dimensions will allow you to embrace more lightness and brightness. Be the change you wish to see in the world and find out how good you can feel. Call Maggie at Healing Across Dimension at 898-7853 to schedule a sessionwww.HealingAcrossDimensions.com

It’s a Brand New Year!Get a New Perspective on Your Health & Well-Being! By Janet L. Hall, ND, CBT, CKP

Have you heard yourself say any of the following statements? If so, it’s time for a new perspective!

“I feel achy a lot... but that’s old age for you!” “I am overweight…but my health is pretty good.” “I get a lot of headaches…but I’ve gotten used to it.” “Bad health is just something I’m going to have to live with I guess.”

Don’t let perspectives like these fool you! Not only do these perspectives prevent you from taking action to regain your health, but they prevent you

from enjoying life! Achiness is not just getting old! Being overweight is a toxic and unhealthy condition. Bad health is not something you have to live with! You do not have to just put up with symptoms like headaches. Make this your year of change! Remember: “If you don’t have your health—you don’t have anything!”

A� er nearly twenty years of working with people as a Naturopath and Kinesiologist, I o� en see that working with a person’s perspective on their health is the � rst thing that requires attention. If disease has set in—your mindset is in dire need of adjustment to allow healing.

I had a recent patient who was su� ering from extreme anxiety and could not sleep. Her perspective was that of: “I only have 3 cups of co� ee a day”. She had been on medications and a large array of supplements. A� er discussing that perspective and the fact that co� ee is a stimulant, she agreed to stop the co� ee and found that the anxiety was almost gone. It had been throwing o� her blood sugar and creating a situation of acidity preventing sleep. One essential oil di� used at night � nished o� her treatment!

I love working with people to adjust their perspective with integrative therapies and seeing them regain full health. We have all natural therapies in-house to help you be at your very best! Learn what will bene� t your body best by utilizing our test methods. It is of primary importance to take care of everything about you, including your lifestyle and perspectives! Visit our clinic on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month for our free informative evening classes.

Dr. BARBARA De ANGELIS is one of the most in� uential teachers of our time in the

� eld of personal and spiritual transforma-tion. As a renowned author, speaker and media personality, she helped popularize the self-help movement in the 1980’s, and for over four decades has reached tens of millions of people throughout the world with her inspirational messages about how to create a life of true freedom, mastery and awakening.

Dr. De Angelis has written 15 bestselling books that have sold over 10 million copies and been published in 25 languages, including four #1 New York Times Bestsellers. She has starred in television shows on CNN, CBS, PBS, was the creator of her own award-winning infomercial, and has been a frequent guest on OPRAH, THE TODAY SHOW, and GOOD MORNING AMERICA. She currently hosts her own popular weekly radio show on Hay House Radio heard worldwide.

Over the past thirty years, Dr. De Angelis has been in high demand as a motivational speaker and is known for being one of the most moving and inspirational female presenters in the world. She is one of only � ve women ever honored as one of the most outstanding speakers of the century by Toastmasters International.

Barbara’s remarkable life achieve-ments span almost four decades, and she

credits her dedication and unrelenting commitment to her own personal jour-ney as the source of all that has come through her to millions of people. She is a serious seeker who has deeply immersed herself in spiritual practice and study from the age of 18, and spent many years in residence with several of the most re-nowned spiritual masters of our time.

It is on the foundation of this profound inner wisdom that she o� ers her life- changing programs on “TRANSFORMATION FROM THE INSIDE OUT”, and why she is known for sharing her inspirational presence, authenticity and passion with her audiences, readers and students.

Dr. De Angelis’ new, highly acclaimed book is SOUL SHIFTS: Transformative Wisdom for Creating a Life of Authentic Awakening, Emotional Freedom and Practical Spirituality, which debuted in March 2015 as an international bestseller.

Truly Alive: In Soul Shi� s, you talk about this book being the culmination of your life’s work. Can you share about that?Dr. Barbara De Angelis: From the � rst part of my life when I became a conscious seeker, and then when I became a transformational teacher, I’ve dedicated myself to supporting people on the path of awakening and o� ering them powerful tools to help them on that journey. I’ve done this in many ways:

through seminars, TV programs, radio shows, and of course through books. Soul Shi� s is the most important book I’ve written because it’s coming at the end of over four decades of very deep spiritual seeking, study and attainment. It marks, for me a time of what I call “harvested, ripe wisdom”—a moment in a teacher’s life when there is an abundance of living wisdom that yearns to be shared with others. � is book marks both the fruit of my work, my path, my studies, all my other books, as well as a new paradigm of teaching and writing. Of all that I’ve written and o� ered, it’s the thing I’m the most proud of.TA: What is “Divine Discomfort”, and why is it important to know we are on the right track?BD: I’m a mystic, but I’m also a very practical spiritual teacher, and my main focus is helping people navigate the real, practical experience of waking up and living a fully conscious awakened life. � at real experience contains a lot of things—passages, puri� cations, moments of revelation, moments of confusion, moments of relinquishment, and so on. � ese experiences o� en have nothing to do with projections or fantasies about what it’s like to grow in more consciousness. People imagine that awakening means every day you feel happier, you feel more love, nothing bothers you, everything in your life starts going your way, and you’re manifesting

everything you want. � is is what I call a “kindergarten understanding” of spirituality.� e real path of growth of consciousness is much more nuanced and has many more peaks, valleys and intense passages, which I call “the narrow path”. Scholars and great mystics have written about these passages for thousands of years. � ey’re challenging—even frightening—and, if not understood, can be easily misinterpreted. We may think something’s wrong with us, or erroneously conclude that we’re stuck and not growing at all. I’ve been a very serious practitioner receiving formal spiritual training with several spiritual masters, and have spent years at a time in seclusion, meditation and retreat—so I’ve passed through these stages myself, and subsequently taken many people through them. I feel obligated to come forward and talk about what I call “practical spirituality,” and explain to people that what I describe as “symptoms of awakening” don’t necessarily mean something is wrong—they usually mean something is right. As I say in Soul Shi� s: “� ere is nothing worse than thinking you are lost, when you are actually in the middle of � nding yourself.”TA: How do we see the world through the eyes of our issues and with our personal shades of perception? And, how can we change that? BD: Everyone basically lives in their own personal hallucination, and that hallucination is based on our issues, our patterns, and our neurological program-ming. We literally experience life through the lens of these issues.For example—a friend doesn’t call you back. You don’t just think “she didn’t call me back.” Inwardly, your issues act like

your advisers, of-fering you an ex-planation about why she didn’t call: “� e reason she didn’t call you back is that she’s angry with you about something you said. Or it could be that she

doesn’t think you are important enough to her.” In this example, you are re-inter-preting the facts through your issues. Not only are you interpreting them, but you’re reacting in a di� erent way inside because of it. Now you have actually changed re-ality! In your mind, it is a real thing that you were rejected. But your friend didn’t do anything to you—she was just being herself and not returning a phone call.

� is is so important to understand: the di� erence between what you think is happening to you, versus what’s happening in you. Relationships then become people’s issues colliding and interacting and dancing with each other, as opposed to real heart recognition and love. What do we have to do to change it? � is is what I write about in Soul Shi� s, and what I mean by real emotional freedom—freedom in each moment to authentically react and interact from a clear, fully conscious place.

TA: How do we send out “vibrational double messages”, and what manifests in our lives as a result?

BD: � e � rst thing to understand is that we are all simply vibrational beings. As physics tells us, we’re vibrating matter. Our thoughts, our feelings, and the at-oms in our bodies are all simply di� erent con� gurations of vibrations. We vibrate at certain frequencies that are harmoni-ous, or frequencies that are dissonant; frequencies that are upli� ing or frequen-cies that are agitated. We’re broadcasting these vibrations out, whether we want to believe it or not, and since everything is connected vibrationally we’re impacting the world in every single moment.

Suppose you are trying to manifest the perfect job. You focus on images and thoughts like: “I deserve to be hired. I’m going to get this job. People think I’m wonderful.” But let’s say there’s another part of you inside that’s very contracted, vibrating with an old feeling that you’re not good enough, or the fear that if you get a more important position, you won’t have time for your children. Now you’re sending out vibrational double messages. If the Universe were your potential em-ployer and you were in a job interview, the Universe would be looking back and

forth between these two parts of you, say-ing, “I don’t know what to do with this. Make up your mind, and when you’re clear, come back.”

Our deepest and o� en unconscious emo-tional wounds are usually responsible for these negative messages: “People disap-point me. I’m never going to get what I want. I feel abandoned by Spirit.” � ey are what controls our life, unless we lo-cate them, understand them and heal and recalibrate them with love. � at’s really what the path of awakening is. Positive thinking is nice, but all of our thoughts emerge from our consciousness anyway, so we need to go beyond positive think-ing to positive vibrating.

TA: Why is it important to “be in the present” and how does that help us to tune into our inner GPS?

BD: To me, this comes back to the Soul Shi� s mantra: “Today I’m going to see what there is to see, to feel what there is to feel, and to know what there is to know.” When people are stressed or when people are upset, when they are going through challenging experiences, this is the � rst place I always tell them to start. When you “feel what there is to feel” in the moment, unbelievable shi� -ing will happen right then, instead of thinking, “What should I do? How do I change or � x this?” Most people skip the seeing and feeling and knowing and turn to their intellect, asking, “What do I do, how do I do it?” First you have to see, feel and know before you can accurately as-sess what is really happening and know what to do.

TA: Your urging for us to live always from our Highest and think about the legacy we are creating every day is compelling. Do you want to share about that?

BD: � at’s the most important chapter of the book for me— Finding your way back to your Highest. We all have our Highest Self, and experience moments in which we feel connected to it, but we need to learn how to locate it and live from it at all times. It’s the simplest thing, and it’s the most powerful thing. Part of that is noticing how we dri� away from our Highest. When we dri� , we start to feel di� erent. “I was feeling calm and I was feeling very emotionally expanded, and all of a sudden I started to feel contracted, agitated, or more shut o� and irritated.” When that happens, you know you’ve dri� ed from your Highest. If you pay attention, you can feel when you are dri� ing, and then you can use my Soul Shi� s practices to come back to it.

You can ask yourself “What am I choosing in this moment? Is there a more enlightened choice I can make?” or “What would it look like right now for me to be in my Highest?” Just asking these questions recalibrates you. � e minute you say “My Highest,” your consciousness opens the � le labeled “My Highest,” and all of that knowingness is available. You immediately begin vibrating at your Highest. When you have enough of those experiences, it starts to feel absolutely excruciating to not be operating from your Highest. � en you’ve actually shi� ed. You’re spending more time in your enlightened vibration than in any other. One day, it becomes impossible to choose anything but your Highest. And then, there’s not even a thought about it . . . that’s just where you are.

TA: Is there anything else that you would like our readers to know about?

BD: � e Paris terrorist attacks happened while I was on a plane to New York City. All I could think to do when

I got to the hotel was to post this message on Facebook—a message that ended up

going viral to almost half a million people: “What can you do when

faced with the darkness that obviously does exist in this world? What is the remedy for the way it breaks your heart and shakes you to the core of your soul? Like me, you can pray; you can try to be a force of goodness. And most of all,

and always, you can LOVE. Tonight and tomorrow, and

every day you have, reach out to anyone you can, and create a � eld

of love between your hearts. � ank people, appreciate people, honor people,

comfort people, kiss and hug people. In that

moment, you will be o� ering the highest, healing vibration to the world. You will be adding to the vortex of Light, of Goodness, of Grace.”

We all need to understand that we are making a di� erence, not only by doing things externally, but by our own process of o� ering our highest healing vibration to the world and living it day by day. Now more than ever, we need to all live what we believe in. Now more than ever, we need to free ourselves of any way we terrorize ourselves with our own negativity, shame, fears or self-judgment. Now, more than ever, we need to stop indulging in the ways we emotionally terrorize others, even if we don’t think that’s what we’re doing. Anger, harsh words, spreading gossip, losing one’s temper, whether with your children, your partner, your dog—these are forms of terrorism. Just because you aren’t using weapons doesn’t mean your thoughts and actions aren’t destructive to yourself or others.

Deciding to not raise your voice to someone, to not say something hurtful or sarcastic, to not turn away from or shut down to someone you love because you’re annoyed or pissed o� ...deciding not to do these things and instead, choosing love IS ending war in that moment.

In the face of everything unthinkable that’s happening on the planet, I absolutely believe that we all are being called to accelerate our process of transformation and awakening. No matter how fast we think we are going, we can go faster. No matter how much we think we are loving, we can love more. No matter how much we think we are healing, we can let go of more. And even if we don’t know what that looks like, we can just have the thought: “I’m reporting for cosmic duty. Show me what I need to see, open me to what I need to feel, reveal to me what needs to be relinquished so that I can, in every moment of how I live and love, serve the triumph of light over darkness on this planet.”

Want An Enlivened New Year? By Asaera Coté

The calendar page for a New Year turns and our collective minds urge us towards the tradition of transformation. We excitedly embrace and simultaneously dread the

inevitable defeat of our resolutions to change mindset and/or habits. Why is it so hard? It is not for lack of desire rather it is the tyranny of the unconscious.

New research in neuroscience indicates a HUGE processing gap in brain mechanics. � e unconscious operates at 11 million bits per second while the conscious operates at 40 bits. � e e� ect is monumental. Our behavior, driven moment by moment by the protective unconscious (as if we were still on the ancient savannah) diminishes our desired shi� !

� e good news—these mechanics can work for us with con-scious intention, attention and perseverance to “rewind and re-set” our habitual responses. We can ENLIVEN our life experi-ence by pampering, restoring, recharging and rejuvenating our mind, body and spirit. When we MOVE, LEARN and CON-NECT we fuel the conscious and maintain healthy brain func-tion. We also create a “juicy” life full of zest.

Affordable & Gentle, Yet Incredibly Powerful

Patients Are Talking By Dr. Trey Stiles

Here’s what patients are saying: Dr. Trey’s work is amazing—powerful yet supportive, gentle yet deep. An entrainment gives me the opportunity to release tension and defense physiology that my body held for a long time. � e work allows me to live more lovingly and be more present in a sometimes, complicated world. I am so grateful for his knowledge, approach and deep intuitive nature.

M.C.D., ABQ

I had severe lower back pain, nearly incapacitating some days. I had MRI’s, PT, sports/rehab, and many chiropractors, with limited relief but never a � x. A� er 3 visits with Dr. Stiles, it was clear his approach works. I’m sitting in chairs I couldn’t previously, carrying things I couldn’t, and enjoying life without pain. He’s extremely gentle. No awkward positions or “cracking,” just relaxation and relief. E.G., ABQ

Truly appreciate his work. Transformational, magical and sustainable. Highly recommend. Learn to love and accept all parts of yourself. S.P., ABQ

Dr. Trey is a truly present, caring, and compassionate human being. I found him during a very low point in my life, a� er a traumatic car accident that le� me in a state of depression, with intense physical pain in my neck and back. A� er a few sessions, I started � nding hope again! Dr. Trey is helping me heal both mentally and physically. J.B., ABQ

I’ve been receiving care from Dr. Trey for 3 years now, and he is simply amazing. In my opinion, and with over 30 years of receiving alternative/complementary/holistic medical/wellness care from a wide variety of practitioners throughout the United States, Dr. Trey’s kindness, presence, skill, touch, ability to see and guide the patient into transformation is unrivaled in the world of holistic healing. If you want your life to get better, do yourself a favor and go see him now! K. L., ABQ



Healing Yourself with Food By Sharon Gregg, CPA

My name is Sharon Gregg and I am a CPA with an accounting and income tax o� ce in the northeast heights. I enjoy serving

my individual and small business clients and use my twenty years of experience to provide professional and a� ordable services. But I have another passion: health and nutrition.

Over thirty years ago, I decided to eliminate all meat, poultry, and seafood from my diet. I had two motivations: health (high cholesterol) and spiritual (save the animals). Since this was a large step, I did weeks of research ahead of time, learning the ins and outs of nutrition: which macro- and micro-nutritional components make up our food. Macro-nutrients are the sources of calories in our food and are classi� ed in three categories: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Most food sources have at least two of the three categories, in di� erent amounts and qualities. Meat products have proteins and fats, but virtually no carbohydrates. Vegetables have all three, with carbohydrates being the largest percentage. Some processed foods have only a single component. Table sugar is 100% carbohydrate. Corn oil is 100% fat. Micro-nutrients are the vitamins, minerals, and trace chemicals found in our foods. Compared to the macro-nutrients, they are found in tiny amounts, but they are essential to health.

It turns out most people believe they need much more protein than they actually do. An average “person on the street” will say the amount of protein needed every day is 30%, 50%, or more, of the calories consumed each day. � e reality is that we get enough protein if proteins make up just 10% of the calories we eat, an amount easily supplied by consuming a vegan diet with a variety of vegetables, grains, and fruits. � e excess protein we consume, especially if those protein calories come from animal sources that also have signi� cant saturated fats, can contribute to the chronic diseases that exist in the United States.

Another contributor to major diseases is re� ned, processed foods. With the low-fat craze of recent decades, food manufactures learned how to remove fats from all kinds of food. To prevent creating a tasteless product, most of the fats taken out were replaced with some kind

of sugar or sweetener. � e result is calorie-dense, nutrient-poor food products. We now crave sweetened convenience foods to our own health detriment. Today, forty percent of Americans are obese or signi� cantly overweight. Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, all linked to poor dietary habits, cost this country over a billion dollars in healthcare costs every year.

As a result of fast foods, convenience foods, and

re� ned, calorie-dense foods, our consumption of many types of food groups has more than doubled in the last sixty years. In 1950, the average American consumed 120 lbs. of meat every year. Today that number is 245 lbs. per year per person. In 1950, we consumed an average of 250 lbs. of dairy products. Today that amount is 560 lbs. In 1950, we consumed an average of 40 lbs. of sugar and re� ned sweeteners. Today it is 150 lbs.

We are at the start of a New Year, a good time to take stock of where we are in our personal journey through life. An appointment with your healthcare provider can give you important information on your current health status, including heart and blood vessel health (cholesterol levels and CRP heart risk assessment); blood pressure; blood sugar and triglycer-ide levels; and body mass index (BMI). � en you may wish to work on chang-

Resolutions, Resolutions By Casey Corr-Thompson

Our company has sold over 500,000,000 bottles of Physicians Blend HGH Extreme to date.

Who among us haven’t started a year with goals to exercise more, eat healthier and to take better care of our temple? Here is a product to help ful� ll those commitments!

What better way to enter into our holiday seasons than with preventative care? If you have been following the articles about replenishing your body with

Physicians Blend HGH Extreme, you will remember that the bene� ts of using our homeopathic formulation is safe - with no adverse side e� ects and will give you the bene� ts of Human Growth Hormone injections at a fraction of the cost.

Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. � e body makes the speci� c proteins it needs for growth, repair, and other functions from amino acids. Physicians Blend HGH Extreme(homeopathic human growth hormone) contains the full chain of 191 amino acids. Proteins provide the body with energy and is needed for the manufacture of hormones, antibodies, en-zymes and tissues. It also helps maintain the proper PH balance. Whenever the body makes a protein, like when it builds muscle, for instance, it needs a variety of amino acids. Human Growth Hormone increases muscle mass, which in turn boosts strength and energy. When we spend the day building our strength and energy, we tend to sleep much better at night which is another reported bene� t of HGH. So one can conclude that replenishing the body with homeopathic HGH, it is possible to build lean muscle, get more energy, burn more calories and sleep better at night. How easy is that to tend to your resolutions?From a new customer: I’ve only taken this spray form of HGH for the last month. I’m 57 years old and have been diagnosed with a degenerative disc and have dealt with it for most of my adult life. Since I have taken your HGH, I sleep better. � ank you for your time and patience on my many questions. I am most impressed by you and your knowledge on the subject matter and I am looking forward to further successes with your product. A.A., ABQ

Probably the best characterization of what Structural Decompression accomplishes is to describe it as spinal elongation. Quite literally, nearly everyone who

receives a Structural Decompression treatment “grows” a bit. On the average, they will measure about 3/8 of an inch taller right a� er the session. In extreme cases, I have seen 3/4 of an inch and even a little over an inch! “You know when you shake out a bed sheet to try and smooth out all of the folds?” I will ask. “Well, Structural Decompression is kind of like that, but for the body.”

Structural Decompression accomplishes spinal elongation with the help of a special oscillating percussion tool I devel-oped with a local engineer. I apply the tip of the tool to so� tis-sue (connective tissue/ tendon) along the hips, spine, neck and shoulders, “decompressing” each contracture I � nd. � e result is a dramatic improvement in freedom and range of motion and a signi� cant decrease in pain.

It is a well-established principle in Chinese medicine (as well as other medicines and modalities) that when the channels and central structures are free, there is less pain, better health,

and all other modalities tend to work more e� ciently. � ere is a chiasmus in Chinese medicine that states: “Where there is pain there’s stagnation; where there’s stagnation, there is pain.” My 12-year search to � nd a technique that could release all of the primary central structures of the body � nally led me to learn a technique called Atlas Evolution®, which incorporated the same principles as some European techniques, but whereas the European techniques focused singularly upon freeing the Atlas, the “Evolution” technique included release of the spine and hips as well. I was only the 4th person in the world to practice this new technique, and, as it seemed to be the answer to my search, I took to it quickly and easily. � e technique I learned is designed to be administered for 90 minutes to complete a treatment, but I found that most of the patients really wanted more attention on certain areas, especially the hips and shoulders. � e Structural Decompression Technique (SD Technique) I developed, adds nearly 60 minutes to the Atlas Evolution protocol! I truly believe that Structural Decompression is the single most comprehensive release of the primary central structures of the body (neck & shoulders, spine, and hips) available anywhere in the world. Besides expanding the idea of what “comprehensive” can mean in a body work technique, the most important addition in my Structural Decompression (SD) Technique is that its theory is deeply grounded in classical Chinese medical theory, most especially, the notion of “the 5 Axes”.

� e 5 Axes are � ve muscle groups that are responsible for the movement and stability of the three bony cavities of the body: the pelvis, the thorax/chest, and the cranium. See my website for a detailed explanation of the 5 Axes and their importance in Chinese medicine. Structural Decompression releases all 5 of these muscle groups in order to allow the restoration of full movement and the release of pain

� is treatment works in somewhat an opposite way from traditional chiropractic, in that the primary focus is on the dis-persion of contractures within the so� tissue, such as knots and tendons. Traditional chiropractic is marked by the manipula-tion of joints and bony structures to reverse subluxation (mis-alignment of the vertebrae) and relieve tension. SD, in contrast, restores elasticity to the so� tissue surrounding the joints, so that the body structures will � nd their natural seat.

A Structural Decompression Initial Basic Treatment takes about 2.5 hours for the � rst appointment, which includes a thorough assessment. � e cost is $300.

It is an accepted fact that, in the world we live in, we are surrounded by pollutants, pesticides and toxins with names none of us can pronounce! � e daily news

inundates us with reports of how living in this environment leads to cancer, heart disease, and a host of other chronic or deadly conditions. � ere is no country on this planet that is NOT impacted by this problem! So how is it that the majority of us are able to exist and thrive, in the toxic soup we live in?

Fortunately, as humans, we are gi� ed with the ability to de-toxify our bodies through many pathways, one of the most important of these pathways is called “methylation”. Meth-ylation, in simple terms, is the body’s ability to transform fat soluble toxins into water soluble substances so they can be excreted from the body. Since our bodies are 75 to 80% water, this process helps us eliminate most toxins through sweat, urine, saliva and tears. � e skin is the largest excretory organ and it is the best organ we have for eliminating heavy met-als. � is is why we need methylation to transform the heavy metals to a water soluble form. � is also explains why our sweat doesn’t usually smell so nice and the smell will change depending on what your body is excreting.

As you would expect, this incredible bio-transformation takes energy and, surprisingly, a boat load of B vitamins. How well each person can perform this process is determined by genetics.

� rough the Human Genome Project, we now know that humans are either “hyper-methylators”, “normal methyl-ators,” or “low methylators”. Your own level of methylation is somewhat determined by how well you absorb and process the B vitamins. � ere are other in� uencing factors involved, such as digestion, medications, and in� ammation that can also impact your body’s ability to methylate.

So if it sounds like we should all be taking a handful of B vitamins on a daily basis that is partially right. However, many of us can’t utilize the common forms of B vitamins found on the shelf at the store. Fortunately, there are simple blood tests that can show if the vitamin B complex you are taking is getting into the cell, where methylation takes place. Knowing which tests and how to interpret them is the secret.

My expertise as a Functional Medicine provider can assist

Methyl-what? By Edie Johnson, FNP-BC

you in interpreting these tests, and my extensive knowledge of supplements can help you � nd the one that will work the best for you, and that � ts within your healthcare budget.

Most people talk about doing a “cleanse” every month or once or twice a year, with the intent of removing toxins that have accumulated. � ink about how much more e� ective those “cleanses” would be, if you’ve got your methylation pathways working at top notch and cleansing continuously! Understanding these critical pathways is just the start to improving your health at the very basic, cellular level.

At Natural Women’s Health, I realize that health and wellness has to begin at the most basic level. � is involves doing both

routine and some specialized lab tests and interpreting them from a functional point of view. Optimum health cannot usually be attained from a 15 minute o� ce visit, therefore most of our appointments are 30 to 60 minutes. Although we do not participate with any health insurance companies, the lab tests I order are usually covered. We are accepting new patients and would love to show you how much better you can feel!

Office visits at Natural Women’s Health routinely last 30 to 60 minutes. I am accepting new patients into my private pay-based practice, and would love to show you how much better you can feel! Give my office a call to schedule an appointment. 505-296-1120.

Hypnotherapy Academy of America: Part of Major Breakthrough in Mainstream Acceptance of Hypnotherapy By Tim Simmerman Sierra, Director

Inthe spring of 2014, we received con� rmation that a Veterans Administration Medical facility had hired a Hypnotherapy Academy graduate to help military

personnel in their pain and rehabilitation clinic. � is was an important milestone, because the VA had never hired a hypnotherapist before! We are proud and excited that it was a Hypnotherapy Academy graduate. � e timing couldn’t have been better—a HealthDay article on MedlinePlus, (the website for the National Institutes of Health) reported on June 30, 2014, that a new study showed that “nearly half of US soldiers returning home are caught in the grip of chronic pain, with a substantial number of them relying on addictive, narcotic pain killers to help them cope. Among the soldiers reporting chronic pain, 55% say they su� er daily, or are in constant pain.”

� e hypnotherapist initially provided her services on a voluntary basis; however, the exit surveys required by the VA from all patients were so positive that she was given a regular paid position.

Since then, more people who trained with us are also working for VA hospitals doing hypnotherapy sessions for military personnel. � is clearly illustrates the growing need

for quali� ed practitioners to meet the future demands created by mainstream acceptance of hypnotherapy.

To reduce or even eliminate chronic pain, military personnel at some VA hospitals can now receive both individual sessions and participate in group settings where they are taught a unique form of self-hypnosis, autosuggestion and healing imagery, found in Integral Hypnotherapy. Generally speaking, when those who have su� ered with pain experience these methods, not only do their bodies feel better, but also their mood improves, as does their quality of life.

Experiencing improvement in these areas of a person’s life can have an even more important impact. Research has shown (PubMed, 2010, Dec.) that there is a clear link between severe pain and depression and even suicide. A shocking and very sad report shows that as many as 22 veterans commit suicide daily. While there are many factors, both known and unknown that contribute to this, in June of 2013, Steven A. King, MD wrote in Psychiatric Times that “Patients may be so frustrated that they are willing to take potentially lethal doses to relieve their pain….” He goes on to say that “Opioids have sedative e� ects and can impair thought processes, so individuals who overdose may not be clear about why they overdosed.” When chronic pain is one of the contributing factors, hypnotherapy can alleviate or eliminate the pain, making the VA’s use of Integral Hypnotherapy a powerful addition to treatment.

A servicewoman receiving hypnotherapy sessions at the VA from one of our graduates, came up to the hypnotherapist a� er a group session, with tears of gratitude. Amazed that she was feeling so much better, she said, “I’ve been in pain for so many years. I don’t understand why nobody told me before, that I could do this [use my mind to be pain free].” She, as well as the others receiving hypnotherapy, had already been doing everything they knew to try to feel better. Now, with the simple addition of hypnotherapy, they are in awe at how quickly their lives have changed.

Part of the VA’s requirement is that practitioners have 400 or more classroom hours in hypnotherapy training from a state Department of Higher Education licensed school. Join us in our vision of quali� ed practitioners of Integral Hypnotherapy being utilized throughout the Veterans Administration medical system. Our servicemen and servicewomen deserve the best of care.

T h i s w o n d e r f u l a c c e p t a n c e b y t h e VA w i l l a f f e c t everyone who has a career in hypnotherapy. While most hypnotherapists choose to own their own private practice, some would like to be based out of a hospital, clinic, rehabilitation center or even hospice. This sort of credibility is priceless. www.hypnotherapyacademy.com

Healthy, Happy, Peaceful By HaeRang Ihm, Body & Brain Yoga

Wewant to be healthy. Also, we want to be happy and peaceful. In fact, health and happiness a� ect each other. Studies say stress a� ects

conditions like obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems, headaches, and asthma.

Focusing only on exercise or diet is like working on your computer hardware without managing the so� ware. It will not function well if there is a virus or many unnecessary programs are running. We need to pay attention to our mind, thoughts and emotions as well.

One of the principles we teach at Body & Brain Yoga is mind-energy-body. Where your mind goes, energy follows, and a� ects your body. Pay attention to your breathing. How deep and slow is it? Focusing for only 1 minute, you will � nd your breathing deepens and slows.

Moving your body can also shi� the condition of your mind. When you are busy or upset in your life, you may try hard to stop your thoughts without success. Instead, try to tap your lower abdomen and shake your head gently. � is will help your mind quiet down and become grounded. A� er that, sit still and feel your breathing. Count 10 breaths. � en, your mind is refreshed and can think di� erently. If you do JiGam (energy meditation), you will see even more change.

Marie says “Since joining Body and Brain yoga, I have experienced quite a few changes in my body and emotional state. Before, I could not get up from the chair without severe pain in my hips, lower back, ankles and feet. I was also feeling tired and sad. Since I started Body and Brain Yoga, I have lost 10 lbs. and have very little pain in my hips, and no pain in my ankles or feet. I am happier and I truly love myself because I am listening to my inner self—not the outside world. My self-talk is loving, positive and gentle.” www.bodynbrain.com/albuquerque Start with a private introductory session!

Getting Ready to Buy a Home? Consider Your Credit By Clint G. Bridges Mortgage (NMLS 174012)

If you are preparing to apply for a mortgage and purchase a home, call me now to get pre-qualified and start looking. It’s still a buyer’s market out there and I will do my very best to get you approved with the lowest interest rate and fees possible! 505-889-3545.

It’s likely you likely know the importance that good credit plays when you try to buy a house or a car.

Here are some basic guidelines for credit cards that can help with your FICO score:• Only apply for credit if you need it and plan on using it.• Don’t close the old cards that you’re not planning to use any

longer.• Only � ll out an application for a credit card that meets your

needs.If you do not have credit cards, apply for one card; not 10.

Make some purchases each month for about 6 months and avoid nearing your credit limit. Pay your credit card bill on time. Carrying balances on your credit cards constitute some of the worst debt. When possible, pay for expenses such as gas or meals out with cash on hand or with a card only if you’re sure you can pay the balance at month’s end.

Check your credit report. (Each year you can get one free credit report from each of the national credit-reporting bureaus.) Verify the information is correct…especially considering today’s prevalence of identity the� . Verify that what’s on the report belongs to you and con� rm the information about your balances and payment history as accurate. Also, make sure all of your creditors report on all your accounts.

Know that most lenders rely on reports like those from FICO, which bases scores on � ve areas: your payment history, current debt, types of credit used, length of credit history and new credit.

What’s new at Lipo-Light? 2 new supplements have been added to increase inch loss. � ese supplements have been proven even more

e� ective in research studies. One is Moringa; a blood detoxi� er. Moringa is a great answer! � e other is Forskolin. It increases lean muscle and decreases body fat. It also helps with appetite. It’s truly a magic plant. Check them out on google.

I’ve gone to see Lee Romero at ABQ Lipo Light 6 times and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’ve never been a very large person but I was “lumpy” (for a lack of a better term). I own my own business and work about 60 hours a week and don’t get to work out as o� en as I would like, so toning up has always been tough for me. I’m getting married next year and wanted to start sculpting my body for my big day. I was skeptical at � rst, but I decided to just give it a shot and I’m SO happy I did. I haven’t changed anything from my daily routine and my results are amazing! I de� nitely recommend this to everyone Lee is the best at what she does. She is very professional, walks you through everything she’s doing and explains everything perfectly. E.J., ABQ

The New You By Inga Madsen

Wehave just passed the winter solstice and the energy is turning from � owing into the core of the planet to expanding and radiating out

of from its center. As this happens, we will feel a � ow of new energy, new inspiration, and new beginnings. Before long, the early � owers will start their yearly appearance. We will all be looking at the crocuses and hyacinths and other signs of life that remind us of the growth we are all experiencing. During this growth process, a few of us may experience feeling bad or face challenges. When we are involved in di� cult situations, we have a tendency to look to the outside for answers—we may think ‘somebody did this to me, this is their fault!’ Yes, there may be di� cult people or situations outside of ourselves but the inside is the only place where you and I can do something about it.

First of all, we are great creators of our lives. We only experience what we can handle, even when we sometimes think life is giving us too much. Don’t be afraid of your challenges. How you deal with di� cult circumstances can in� uence you to become a di� erent person, a New You that creates miracles for yourself and others. Di� cult situations may also help you realize that you were always that New You, but you did not have the courage to live it. Once you have that awareness, you can truly be who you are.

Meditation is a great away to help you focus on the ‘inside’ and give you the inner motivation and inspiration to create the life you wish. At Crystal Dove, we o� er meditation classes and have a crystal bowl meditation on the � rst Saturday of every month. We also have many di� erent items in inventory, classes, and workshops that can li� your energy. I very much look forward to assisting you as you move forward during this time of growth and renewal. www.crystal-dove.com

Speaking Out for Melissa Parra, CNP J.D. Johnson, Personal Trainer

As the Lead Personal Trainer for De� ned Fitness, I have been improving the health and wellness of seniors for over seven years. While this is

my profession, it is also my lifestyle and passion. You will not � nd my endorsement of supplements or practitioners in other magazines. I am very particular about who and what I recommend to my clients, friends and family. I am pleased to write this article in support of the specialized services Melissa Parra, CFNP provides to our community. I enjoy providing personal training to her patients, as improved blood labs is a signi� cant measurement of success in my program.

I became a patient of Melissa’s earlier this year in search of an improved methodology for monitoring my health and wellness. I exercise six days a week, eat clean and do not use

alcohol or tobacco products. I have taken a multi-vitamin, probiotics and a Calcium supplement every day or over a decade. However, I have a family history of various forms and types of cancer. A� er losing my mother six years ago, I wanted to know if there were things that I could be doing now to decrease my risks of cancer or improve my health as I age. When a colleague of mine introduced me to Melissa, I met a professional/practitioner who took my health and

concerns as seriously as I do. At the time, I was searching for a more proactive, thorough and educational approach than what I was receiving during my annual physicals.

Melissa’s blood draw, coupled with her intake assessment, yielded amazing information which is clearly explained to you

during your hour-long appointment. She provides you with a seven page detailed report of your blood compo-sition; which in addition to your rou-tine lab tests includes a cardiovascu-lar risk assessment, hormone levels, cancer markers, glycemic markers and a comprehensive metabolic panel. Each aggregate score is discussed with you in terms you can understand, and strategies for what you can do to im-prove these scores are suggested. Me-lissa also o� ers a complete body com-position analysis including your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), body fat and lean body mass percentages, Segmental Lean Analysis which tells you any disparity there may be between the weight of each of your limbs.

I le� Melissa’s o� ce with a clear direction of where to take my workout routine, and what I needed to be doing di� erently with my nutrition to achieve my personal goals. Most of all, I le� with a piece of mind that I have not experienced with another healthcare provider. � e value de� nitely exceeded the cost, so I made a follow up appointment for a few months later.

Melissa provides a valuable service that can bene� t many people regardless of age, health or activity level. I have personally seen a variety of individuals with di� erent health problems receive professional, compassionate and quality care from Melissa. I am very pleased to have someone with her knowledge and experience to work with on a personal and professional level.

How Important is Your Digital Data? By Peter Trinh

Digital data are documents, pictures, music, photos, videos, and specialized documents created using certain programs on your computer, laptop, tablet and phone.

Are they properly backed up? Do you have a way to retrieve them if your system crashes?

� e best practice on safeguarding your important digital data is actually to have 2 backups for that data. Backups come in a variety of forms and each of the two are recommended to be di� erent types, such as a � ash drive and cloud backup. Contrary to popular belief, there are backup strategies that can meet any budget.

THE TYPES OF BACKUPS INCLUDE:• Cloud Backup, which is a service that backs up your

computer online, such as Carbonite.• Cloud Storage, which is di� erent from a backup, where you

just store important � les, and synchronize between this and your computing device. Dropbox is one such service.

• Flash Drive backup (those thumb-sized sticks you see all the time), where you store important � les, and synchronize between this and your computer. � e SanDisk Cruzer USB is one such device.

• External Hard Drive backup is a small box the size of a deck of cards that you can use to back up your entire computer on a regular basis. � e Seagate Backup Slim + is one such device.

Computers, external peripherals, and online services are not infallible. � ey are all made using the least expensive materials and processes and are subject to high defect rates/failures. If you would like to learn more about the importance of backing up your data, please check out my website, which is full of free information, content, and tutorials: www.trinhtech.com. If you would like a consultation to discuss the best backup options for you, please call me at 805-455-3246. I am very reasonable and can come to you or work over the phone.

The Fourth H – Heart! By Caren M. Phillips, OTR/L, MS

At Ravenna, residents are free to come and go, live active social lives with friends and family, enjoy musical guests, volunteers, and pets. We have housekeeping, chefs, activity coordinators daily and caregivers 24/7. Most importantly, we care for our residents so that their families can have peace of mind, and more space to enjoy their loved one and their precious time together. Ravenna; it’s where the “heart” is. 505-831-4141, www.RavennaNM.com

Tomany, the thought of nursing home placement for themselves or a loved one is unimaginable. We think of them as institutionalized places where

the elderly are lonely and neglected. In the early 80’s, the � rst nationally recognized assisted living model was developed in Portland, Oregon a� er Dr. K.B. Wilson’s mother asked for her help. Dr. Wilson states, “We basically combined what I call the three H’s: health, housing and hospitality.”

� e shi� allowed for privacy so residents could have locked doors and their own bathrooms. Sta� ng and services became centered on personal dignity and respect. Expanded community areas and activities gave room for healthy social interaction.

“It’s like family here”, says Sharon. She and her husband have been Ravenna residents for more than a year. � ey were at a point where it was di� cult for her to care for him as her own needs increased.

Injection techniques that use homeopathic medicines to stimulate the natural self-healing abilities of the body were developed to o� er an e� ective, safe alternative.

Homeopathic injections are non-addictive, well-tolerated, natural substances and are used at Sandia Chiropractic to e� ectively treat a wide range of conditions, including:• Muscle strains and tears • Hand and thumb• Neck and back pain • Tendonitis• Frozen shoulder • Sports injuries• Joint pain and arthritis • Tennis elbow• Sprained joints • Trigger points*• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)

Cortisone injections are not suitable for all patients, and can potentially cause a number of side e� ects. Homeopathic injection techniques aim to regulate in� ammation in order to support the natural healing mechanisms of the body. Low doses of the natural, active substances are injected, making any toxic side e� ects very unlikely, and allowing for the slow assimilation of natural medicines into the body.

Homeopathic injections used by Sandia:Traumeel™: for relief of muscular pain, joint pain, sports injuries and bruisingLymphomyosot™: for the temporary relief of swellingZeel™: for relief of mild to moderate arthritic pain, osteoarthritis and joint sti� nessSpascupreel™: for relief of muscle spasms anywhere in the body, including abdominal cramps, menstrual cramps, spasmodic cough, intestinal colic and smooth musculature spasmsNeuralgo-Rheum™: for neuralgia, rheumatism of the

ARIES (3/21-4/19) In JANUARY, there are endings happening around you as you try to maintain your career focus. Your words will be heeded by many, which will bring you to a pinnacle

of recognition. You are seen as a bright spark of life in the dormant cold of winter. With Mars in Scorpio, you will � nd ways to keep warm these two months. � is is a good month to prepare to reveal your great work of creative beauty a� er the 25th. � e entire month has a feeling of apprehension. Secrecy is important. FEBRUARY: You have a � ery approach to romantic matters as Valentine’s Day looms large. A good time is had by all. � e night of the 2nd promises great excitement if you can stay up late. � e 3rd is a good workday if you plan early to be fault-free. � e 6th/7th is pumped up to bursting. � e year of the Monkey starts on the 8th. Life could get more exciting if “more” is possible. � e full Moon of the 22nd relates to work and health. � is is a good time of year for a checkup.

TAURUS (4/20-5/20) JANUARY: With pockets jingling and a happy heart, you leap right into this leap year. � ings go well at work. Mars brings a new start to your personal and social relations. Mercury

is retrograde in your house of travel all month, so be careful in transit. Avoid battles of wit, lest people � nd you half-armed. Rely on a new partner for your back-up. � e month ends with love and beauty along with a � nal week of great work progress. � e 12th has an exciting suddenness to it. Watch for it. February: Some of your travel dreams could come true this month. Do it during the 1st 2 weeks before work swallows you like a tiny � sh. Career changes are in store for a few Bulls. � e others would like to change, sometimes. Actually, most Bulls can stay with a job for decades. Sometimes, love can be a reason for change. Around the full Moon of the 22nd, you may spot the perfect mate, bedazzling you in the moonlight. So, love, travel, and work seem intertwined like a steel cable.

GEMINI (5/21-6/21) JANUARY has Mercury turning retrograde, e� ectively, all month. Mercury’s motion could set up some promising visions for the future, but not yet. � ere are factors of your

life which are not completely � nished. � ere are hidden matters to grasp. So, this month is like prepping for the big game, next month. � is could be your super bowl! � e 14th is important. � e 19th could stir the anger from a friend. � e 23rd is for speaking words of love. � e 25th and 29th could be life-changing. FEBRUARY: At least Mercury isn’t retrograde this month. As it picks up speed, so do you. � ere is time to complete the undone stu� by the 14th. � en you can get out the cyber toys more o� en. Your livelihood takes on added

importance a� er the 18th. � ere is a home focus a� er the 22nd. Your dual nature will allow you to make career plans while tooling around the house. � e 24th-26th is productive and exciting. You can depend on what people say, but contracts guarantee it.

CANCER (6/22-7/22) � e month of JANUARY � nds the Crabs happily at home with the company of another to help you forget the cold outside. � e new Moon of the 9th brings up scary matters like

commitment and permanence. � e new Moon in Aquarius on the 8th is always the start of a new situation. Sex, death, and recycling become prominent in this yearly cycle. Like the last leaf to fall from the tree, you wait beyond hope, sometimes. � e month ends romantically, despite the love haters. FEBRUARY: � e moody Moon maidens and men might meet meaningful mates on Miercoles (Wednesday, the 3rd). � e 8th is a new Moon that works like a door opening as another closes. � ose Crabs born July 5th-July 11th are more likely to make new beginnings. Understanding of all this comes on the 13th. It is important at this time that all Crabs stay on their path without being drawn o� the trail by the drama of others. Follow your hunches if they make sense this month.

LEO (7/23-8/22) JANUARY: You should be in robust good health. � e Sun brings vitality and good work e� orts. You could meet great people in service to others. Your resolution for the year

could be to get better results from your labors. � e Felines seem to start the year with big plans. Any new actions are best begun a� er the 25th. By then, you may � nd a partner to work with you. Save a little money over the next four months. Your necessary social life picks up a� er 19th. � e unspoken becomes audible. FEBRUARY: You seem to be the only one with a solid plan this 1st week. � e 6th begins a fun weekend. Just be careful with your all too frequent coordination attacks. � e 13th is like an echo of happiness from the happiness you bring to others. Peace can be restored to a relationship on the 16th. � e 18th stirs you with secret passions. Pisces begins a month when you could do well to study occult matters. � e 22nd is about money and the 28th is just dreamy.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22) JANUARY: � is month, you actually have good reason to complain. You have many perfect examples of “Brains Gone Wild” at this time. It’s so hard to tolerate an imperfect outcome.

Virgos should just be set loose to go about correcting things. � en, your e� orts go unrewarded during this month of Mercury retrograde. � ink more, talk less seems to be the best approach. Words come out wrong. Progress is halted.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22) actually have good reason to complain. You have many perfect examples of “Brains Gone Wild” at this time. It’s so hard to tolerate an imperfect outcome.

GEMINI (5/21-6/21) turning retrograde, e� ectively, all month. Mercury’s motion could set up some promising visions for the future, but not yet. � ere are factors of your


Next month, tireless friends. Work is truth. FEBRUARY: Imagine yourself as a powerful locomotive…gradually building speed and momentum. Happiness � lls your mind this 1st weekend. Your ideas can be the stimulus for great philosophical debate this 1st 2 weeks. Valentine’s Day can be a display of cultural diversity for you. Love always seems to arrive late, or gets confusing for you. Closer to the 18th brings a� ection. � at works like a topping to your business success. � e 26th is exciting.

LIBRA (9/23-10/22) JANUARY begins with the Moon in Libra and Libra rising in MST. Hopefully, that will bring a peaceful start to the year along with making you a New Year’s Star. � rough mudslides,

broken levees, through fear and anger, the Libran must go. Society is a Libran concern. � ere will be great societal changes and challenges this year. You can utilize your tough side when needed. Your partner seems abnormal this month. Ideal time to redo and repair the home. FEBRUARY: � e peace-loving, romantic Librans � nd closeness with an intellectual equal. � ere are some of your Sign who are happy to cuddle up with a book. Whatever keeps you in balance. Work can be very sexy, somehow, as you zip along, making bucks. � e 5th could be interesting as passions combine with the unexpected. Be smart. A voice from your subconscious speaks truth to you this month’s � nal week. A good month!

SCORPIO (10/23-11/21) JANUARY: You have the � re of Mars to ignite your Sign for two months. Turn down the thermostat. You have a � aming sword to keep you warm this winter. Your eyes are

set hard upon attaining your ideals. You might need to take an oath of non-violence. Despite that energy, your thoughts run deep. � oughts of family, fame, and future � ll your mind. � e 18th is inspiring and fun. � e 11th-18th is good to strengthen friendships. � e “too much chatter season” starts on the 20th, FYI. FEBRUARY: You are totally energized this month. � e 3rd is very ful� lling. Overall, your life continues to involve changing your way of thinking. � is can only happen from events of a dynamic nature in your life. It’s ok to change, really. You are known for being quite certain of your � xed opinions, and that keeps you safe. Ok, be prudent. Good times with friends can be found a� er the 18th. Keep yourself reined-in to prevent accidents.

SAGITTARIUS (11/22-12/21) JANUARY: � e year starts o� friendly enough as some Archers travel around who knows where. Many of your Sign, will seek higher learning experiences. You can be

the most variegated of the Signs, wearing coats of many colors. It’s fun. � is is not a time of great progress in your chosen � eld. If you need surgery, these two months are best for that. � is is not a good month to make any � nancial commitments. Wait until next month. Old anger issues could bubble like a paint pot. FEBRUARY: Your ruling planet, Jupiter, remains retrograde from last month until early May. Happiness seems missing in the world because Sagittarians are keeping it all inside. We may have to employ tickling techniques. You could be the one to de� ate a debate on the 6th. You are able to unite

people against a common adversary. � e Year of the Monkey starts on the 8th and indicates that you may � nd yourself in the middle of political circles this year. Rest when you can.

CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19) JANUARY: Recent explosive events have le� you shaken, but still plodding along. Life could feel stuck or as if it’s moving too slowly. � is is not a time to evaluate

your success. � e high climbing Goats are in a life cycle of ending the old and preparing for the new. � ese are serious times because these cycles last for 30 years. So, the next two or three years is a time to prepare for your new horizons. � e 9th begins a lesser cycle of one year. � ere is an element of secrecy to the year. FEBRUARY: By approaching your work with the highest of ethical standards, you can be quite productive. � ere is a connection. What you learn on the 3rd could fatten your wallet. � e 9th is a cultural opportunity to celebrate. Money begins to � ow at the same time. Be wise to the motives of another around the 13th. Valentine’s Day should be very positive. Your cultural connections are very meaningful on the 22nd. � e � nal week is gravy.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18) JANUARY starts with friends and spiritual experiences. You have so much knowledge and many ideas to share with your friends. It’s sad when others don’t value knowledge the way

you do. Your unique ideas are always good for conversation. � ere will be a lot of mental stimulus for you this year. Try hypnosis this month if you feel drawn to it. You will be stunned by someone you speak with. � ey will go away, but will return next month. Life eases up a� er the 20th. FEBRUARY: � e Sun shines in your Sign (not your constellation) until the 18th. You’re not just another year older, you’re starting a new yearly cycle. � e 1st 30 days is about making new self-beginnings. Something has ended, or has been attained. Now a new yearly theme begins. Aquarians also have a seven year cycle. � e yearly cycles have to match the 7 year cycle focus. USPS has something for you by the 13th. Love shows up around the 16th. � e month ends happily.

PISCES (2/19-3/20) JANUARY: By now, winter is � rmly in place and the Fish are still, deep in thought, and deeply connected to the feel of life’s dormancy all around. � ere are still good times with friends

you rely on. � ere is more responsibility, too. If you have been swept up by another, you will be more active and hyper-happy. You can discuss that cruise which you would love to take. Just in case, next month is better for travel. � e 4th is sour, the 17th is late-night stu� , and the month ends very sweetly. FEBRUARY: � e 3rd is rowdy just a� er midnight, but by work time things are grounded. Sweet talk on the 6th. Isolation to study on the 8th. � e 10th is for showing your beliefs. � e 13th makes it hard to wait for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s should be friendly enough, but work comes early. � e 18th brings a calmness to your life. You will seek and value time alone. � e full Moon gives your partner a chance to carry more of the load. Just praise them a little.
