GREETINGS

FELLOW BEINGS OF

LIGHT AND MATTERWelcome to the 15th issue.

Wow, I had forgotten how much I enjoy being involved in events. The trade show was awesome. I got to meet many new individuals and share my gifts. I look forward to the planned Reflexology Event to be held during Reflexology Week in the last full week in September. This year we will get a head start as several of us are beginning to connect. The website is beginning to take shape and form. Hopefully before too much longer it will be up and running. If you have a testimonial to share, please do. I am excited to announce that I am scheduled to be on the local radio talk show. The program is Engage Life All Things Saltspring CFSI 107.9 FM. The date is June 30th at 8 am. I hope to be able to get a recording of this to add to the next newsletter as it is difficult to get this program on the mainland.

Blessings and Hugs, ♡Petra

Glimpses Through Testimonials

“P. has an instinctive gift for enabling the healing/growing p r o c e s s i n others.  She has p e r s o n a l l y helped me to break free from t h e p a i n f u l effects of early life experiences.  T h r o u g h m y work with P., I have developed an awareness and acceptance of my inherent worth and value during my time on this earth.  I will be forever grateful for her compassionate, confidential, professional support in my healing process!” Anonymous.

“P. is a gifted, skilled therapist who enables me to experience the wisdom and innate healing capacity of my body.” Debra Walker, White Rock, BC

"The healing session with Petra was a lifesaver and a key foundation block in helping me to process somatized grief at a core level with the passing of my mother. Petra is a profoundly skilled healer on all levels and seemed to know exactly what I needed.

I trust Petra and highly recommend her." Maryanna Gabriel Magic Cottage Creations (con’t page 5)

The Body is Designed for Movement In the March 19, 2012 edition of MACLEAN’S

MAGAZINE, Kate Lunau wrote an engaging article called “Health News You Won’t Want To Sit Down

For”. According to her research and resources, it is now

beginning to be understood that it isn’t the amount of

exercise but rather the amount of inactivity which is

proportional to the amount of health risk that it fuels. The concept of getting to the gym for your morning

workout isn’t enough to counter the effects of sitting the

rest of the day.

Recommendations were stand at an elevated desk,

walk around around while talking on the phone, have walking meetings, and compress shoulder and back

muscles while sitting at a desk. Move to reduce levels of

C-reactive proteins an inflammatory marker for disease.
