My Journey to Wellness- Changes Radically

My journey has taken me down many paths of healing spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. I have been blessed by many miracles and have learned many life lessons on my journey.

Nothing I have experienced can compare to a new development in my family. My eldest daughter Melissa 35 years young (mother of my two grandchildren- Kirsten 3 years old and Elke 1 years old) was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer ALL- Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. The doctor gave her 20 % chance of making it. She has been my healthy athletic daughter. The doctor feels it began with one chromosome that went wrong. It morphed and began to multiply. She began feeling tired in the spring this year. I urged her to get blood work done (as a Holistic Practitioner- we cannot diagnose but can treat the whole person once diagnostically labeled) and when we finally received the results of the blood-work- I noticed how erratic the report was. As I looked closer and did research everything pointed to Leukemia. There are many types of Leukemia- some are very inactive and one can live a long life with and then there are deadly ones! Unfortunately this is a deadly one.

She went into the emergency room just this Wednesday July 21st- was sent via ambulance to Roswell after more blood-work. At Roswell- a bone marrow check was done and then the diagnosis of ALL.My heart broke into a thousand pieces! She was began chemotherapy Friday July 23rd. I am waiting for her doctor to answer my questions as far as supporting her colon, kidneys, liver and lymphatics with herbs during her treatment. I pray that he will allow me to help out! I feel very positive about her progress, it will only be better if I am allowed to support her with herbs. Please- send prayer and positive energy to her….


The Catastrophe
(Excerpt from Mexico Mystique: Coming 6Th World Of Consciousness by Frank Waters)

The Catastrophe. The world-engulfing cataclysm. The memory of it, the dread of it, is still stamped on the collective unconscious of every Indian soul. Myth and legend tell of the last one, whenever it happened, followed by days of darkness and emptiness before the gods assembled to create a new sun. Predictions and prophecies tell of the one to come. Not only those of the Nahuas and Mayas, but that of the contemporary Hopis who believe the end of the world as we know it is not far off. The time will be marked when Saquasohuh, the Blue Star Kachina, dances in the plaza. Far off and still invisible, the blue star will make its appearance soon.
According to Hopi prophecy, the previous worlds were destroyed when their inhabitants became corrupt. The present world is now also corrupt and will be destroyed; only those people who return to their original teachings will escape destruction....
On Second Mesa...an ancient petroglyph depicts a dome-shaped object resting on an arrow which represents travel through space, and the head of a Hopi maiden who represents pristine purity. As the Hopi believe the other planets are inhabited, this petroglyph represents a patuwvota, a "flying shield" similar to a "flying saucer" that came here in the Beginning. So now at the End the sacred ones will arrive from another planet by flying saucers. Many Hopi traditionalists recently have reported seeing flying saucers, all piloted by the beings they call Kachinas.
The current Hopi belief brings us back again to the Mesoamerican myth of the catastrophic destruction of previous worlds. Were they all caused by planetary aberrations, refuting our belief in an unalterably ordered solar system? Or were catastrophic disorders in both heaven and earth governed by laws of universal order?
Despite the violent changes that have continuously altered its surface, the Earth is the same organic entity, the "divine creature" as Plato called it. So has it been with mankind. Violent cataclysms have not obliterated it. Mankind has adapted itself to the changes. Races have vanished. One primitive culture, one civilization, arises and falls, to be replaced by another. But mankind remains. If terrestrial catastrophes have often altered the course of human history, all decisive changes in mankind's development have not been dependent upon them. Rather have they been determined by what seems to be the periodic synchronization of human and cosmic rhythms. Of this periodicity we know little, the scope of the periods is so large. We can only surmise that the physical changes in the surface of the earth and the psychological changes in mankind must be parallel phenomena determined by their coincidence in time. This is why myth, the oldest and most holy witness of the human spirit, is so relevant. It reveals the hidden world that has never faded from human consciousness and bridges the gap between physical and psychical realities.
Frank Waters (1902-1995) was one of the greatest writers to come out of the American West. He wrote often with a deep spiritual dimension drawn from his experiences among the native people of the Southwest.
Since Water's passing, John Kimmey has been bringing the ancient traditional Hopi teachings forward to modern people. Kimmey explains the Hopi teachings, as handed down to him by the traditional Hopi elders with whom he lived and worked.

People who don't brush their teeth twice a day have an increased risk of heart disease, scientists said on Friday, adding scientific weight to 19th century theories about oral health and chronic disease.

British researchers studied nearly 12,000 adults in Scotland and found those with poor oral hygiene had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared with those who brushed twice a day and who were less likely to have unhealthy gums. People with gum disease are more likely to develop heart disease and diabetes because inflammation in the body, including in the mouth and gums, plays a role in the buildup of clogged arteries, said Richard Watt from University College London, who led the study.

What is Consciousness?

Your spiritual journey is one of consciousness, which is simply an unfolding awareness of reality. It is not complicated or difficult; there is no destination, set path or goal. It is not hard or easy, as it is a series of steps or movements that each of you takes as part of your individual journey of re-birth and re-connection. Consciousness is the path of destiny and growth, of fear and love, of darkness and light. It is the flow of energy that either creates an unfolding reality or keeps you stuck in the mind's past. It is not spiritual or material yet it encompasses both worlds. It is heaven and earth and how it is expressed in your life depends on your level and type of consciousness.

When you define consciousness as having spiritual awareness you limit your connection to your own power. It is both spiritual and physical and encompasses every aspect of your reality. It is simply your presence at any moment in time and how you experience and express that presence. Physical consciousness begins with awareness of that which is the most basic to your living, which is the breath. Through breath you receive life from Creator. It is the beginning and the end, the first thing the body does at birth and the last thing it does at death. And even though breathing is so essential to life, it is also something that you are unconscious of. Do you remember your last breath?

Spiritual awareness expands physical consciousness so you aware that there is more to life than having a physical presence. As your awareness expands you 'become' and with this becoming, you connect to Source, each other, the planet and acknowledge your Universal presence. Then you are multi-dimensional, see life as an energetic flow and embrace all of your aspects so they work together to create the unfolding presence that can take you beyond karma, darkness, polarity and fear. You define this as being consciousness but it is more than that, it is an expression of your divinity through your human form. You are always conscious; now you have Universal balance as part of your awareness.

All of humanity is being led into dual consciousness, but not of dark and light, which is polarity-focused thinking. It is the blending of spiritual and material so that they co-exist in balance within you. You are all conscious beings and your willingness to embrace Spirit and bring it into humanity is what lifts you out of the limitations of physical consciousness and into higher dimensions of limitlessness. This is how you fulfill your soul's mission of re-connection and re-alignment with your divine heritage. As you go through each day, allow yourself to be consciousness through simple awareness. Invite Spirit into each moment so you can fulfill your soul's destiny of bringing heaven on earth and become conscious co-creators of the new earth.

NC Panel OKs Toxic Teflon Chemical in Drinking Water

North Carolinians could be exposed to much higher concentrations of a notorious Teflon chemical than the rest of the country under a proposed state regulation that would allow unsafe levels of the contaminant in drinking water.

While virtually every living thing carries some level of PFOA in their blood, it is often found at much higher concentrations in people living in areas where the chemical is manufactured. Fayetteville, N.C. is home to a DuPont PFOA production facility that is widely considered the primary source of the chemical in the area's groundwater. The company began producing the chemical at the site in 2002, and shortly thereafter it was turning up in groundwater sampling in the area.

A number of studies embraced by top scientists throughout the world that have linked PFOA exposures - at levels much lower than the state Science Advisory Board's recommendation - with serious health problems in people. They include delayed pregnancy time, low sperm quality among young men, decreased levels of estrogen and cancer

THE LAVENDER LABYRINTH

Come walk the labyrinth, before or after Yoga or a Consultation- or if you are in the neighborhood. The Labyrinth is located just behind our Studio. It is enhanced with organic Lavender and native Turtle Rocks which coincide with the 4 cardinal points. Feel the energies! Smell the relaxing lavender! Connect with nature!
Begin in the entrance located in the North (earth). Enter with a clear mind as you begin to walk counter-clockwise (releasing negative energy). Breathe in the lavender- allow it to relax your body, mind & soul. The path will change and you will moveclockwise (strengthening your convictions). Feel the energies move through you as you spiral into the center. When you reach the center you will be facing (east) invoking the the fire element. This is where you would choose an intention (manifesting). To raise your energy reach down and touch the Key Stone. This rock was found in our creek bed, and over time the water has spun it and shaped it almost perfectly round! It has many thousands of years of energy (prana) in it for you to access!
Harvard University has a Labyrinth which the students utilize before exams (to help them focus), to clear their minds or to manifest. You can find many others located around the world.

Yoga Nidra

Join Rose for a very special yoga meditation class called Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra has a special emphasis on health and healing where habitual thinking and thought patterns are reduced or eliminated and it also helps with insomnia and stress reduction. Yoga Nidra brings an incredible calmness, quietness and clarity. Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental process to a state of supreme stillness and insight. Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras (negative energy & thought patterns).

Class is being held on Tuesday August 3rd at 7:30 PM. The class lasts about 50 minutes. The fee is $10. Pre-registration is a must- call or email us for more information or reservations. Should you reserve and are unable to attend- please let us know- for there is usually a cancellation/waiting list.
