FROM THE EDITOR

As I write this, it’s Earth Day. Can you believe

Earth Day is 40 years old! Amazing. We’ve

come so far since Rachel Carsen’s “Silent

Spring”. Yet we still have so far to go.

The issues have changed but the consequences are still just

as complicated - Genetically Modified Food (GMO), Electro

Magnetic Frequencies (EMF), Water - STILL an issue with

the record breaking drought in the West and the shocking

algae infested waters along Lake Erie’s shores causing ma-

jor problems for the residents in the Toledo area.

We’ve got all sorts of new emerging hi-tech problems, but

the root cause is almost always the same - rampant greed. I

don’t understand companies that want to alter the food

supply, pollute the water supply and stuff the atmosphere

with all sorts of energetic weirdness that makes us sick (and

sometimes worse!) - my question: if they kill us, who’s going

to buy the crap they sell? Maybe they haven’t gotten past

today’s bottom line to ask that question. Without consum-

ers, no sales, no sales, no profits. Ah well, one of these days

it should maybe dawn on somebody.

The shift is happening, and it’s happening very quickly.

Those that don’t “get it” are left standing with mouths

agape and desperately trying to hold on to things that

worked for them in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. People, politi-

cians, religions, governments… It’s a new millennium folks,

time to change.

Learn about self-care, take responsibility for your reality,

learn about energy, learn a new way of thinking about each

other and the creator and all that is. Tick, Tick, Tick - the

Universe is not going to wait on us to get our act together.

It’s change or be changed.

Okay, off my soapbox for now!

Quick “In Memoriam” for my dear friend Deb

Haltuch, who made her transition off this planet

one year ago this week. Miss you girl and thanks

for the pennies!

Spring is the time for new growth and a fresh start.

There's nothing more refreshing than clearing out old

clutter to make way for fresh new energy for your home

and your body too. While detox has become "the buzz”

these days, there are still many people have no idea of

what it means and just how necessary it is. In this article

we uncover the truths about detox. More importantly you

will discover just how worthwhile it really is!

Imagine if you never cleaned your house. It would get

dirty right? On the surface it might look clean but when

you peer under rugs and inside cupboards you would find

lots of grime, accumulating gradually over the years. It’s

pretty much the same with your body. Even if you seem

clean and healthy on the outside there can be lots of ‘dirt’

lurking inside which if left can make you sick. Having lots

of accumulated toxins and unwanted substances inside

will stop your body functioning optimally making illnesses

much more likely.

How bad can it be?

The body is a magnificent efficient machine. It has a varie-

ty of methods to process and remove toxins from our

body, but the problem is our modern lives are SO toxic it

struggles to cope. We are bombarded with toxins all the

time. Some are natural by products of our bodies own

processes, but mainly we take in toxins from external

sources. As the toxic overload increases our health gets

worse.

In the past it was infectious diseases which killed people;

nowadays it is lifestyle diseases which are the real killers.

The food we eat and the chemicals we consume are grad-

ually building up to toxic levels then one day, seemingly

out of the blue, you get sick. But most diseases are lurking

in the background for many years before we even notice

them. Detox is an effective way to restore your immune

system and give your body the helping hand it needs to

stay healthy and happy.

Where do toxins come from?

The Global Healing Centre estimate that we come into

contact with over 2 million different toxins in every 24

hour period and this is at least twice as much as the body

can effectively handle.

200,000 toxins from the Air

Even when it seems clean the air is full of toxins, includ-

ing: Smoke, Dust Mites, Pet Dander, Mold & Mildew,

Paint Fumes, Air Fresheners, Cleaning Supplies, Carpet

Out-Gassing, Fossil Fuels, Benzene, Chemtrail residues.

150,000 toxins from Water

The recycling and chemical treatment of water fills it with

chemicals our body does not want, including: Arsenic,

Fluoride, Chlorine, Pesticides, Parasites, Bacteria, Pre-

scription Drug Residue, Rocket Fuel (Perchlorate), C8 (the

Chemical used to make Teflon®), Bisphenol-A

(carcinogenic compound used in making Plastic Bottles).

485,000 toxins from Food and Drink

To increase profits and extend shelf-lives processed food

is full unwanted additives, preservatives and other chemi-

cals, including: MSG, Pesticides, Hydrogenated Oils, Anti-

biotics & Hormones, Genetically Modified Foods, Refined

Sugars, Artificial Colorings and Artificial Sweeteners.

180,000 toxins from Prescription Drugs

In addition to the actual medicine many compounds are

also used to deliver the drug, including: Aluminum and

Mercury in Vaccines, Spermicides, Liver Toxic Glues, Fill-

ers & Binders, Artificial Colorings, Synthetic Hormones,

Synthetic Chemicals, Left-over Animal Parts from Meat

Processing Plants (Yuck!)

525,000 toxins from Microbes (Parasites)

By Roseann Zaft

Spring Cleaning Spring Cleaning Your BodyYour Body

May June 2015 pg 4

Harmful organisms which feed off YOUR nutrients and

deposit waste in your body: Bacteria, Yeast, Fungus,

Worms, Amoebas and Viruses

200,000 toxins from Physical & Emotional Stress

When we experience negative emotions and physical

stress the body responds with hormones which signal

trouble and they change the way the body works. The

problem is we never calm down and turn off the stress

hormones so are constantly flooded with them.

130,000 toxins from Heavy Metals

Heavy metals have long been known to be toxic, especial-

ly for the brain, but we continue to use them, in things

like: Cookware, Deodorant, Cosmetics, Aluminum Cans,

Light Bulbs, Vaccines, Mercury Dental Fillings, Household

& Auto Paints. They can also often be found in many

different fish which have been Chemically-Poisoned due

to pollution of the sea, rivers and lakes.

230,000 toxins from Radiation

Even minimal exposure can cause cell damage which if

the body is unable to repair can lead to serious conditions

such as cancer and even death. There are many different

sources of radiation, including: X-Rays, Cell phones, Com-

puters, Microwave Cooking, Power Lines, Irradiated

Foods, Fluorescent Lighting, and Electromagnetic Radia-

tion

Where do all the toxins go?

Your body tries hard to process the toxins, to make them

safe, and remove them from the body. The liver is the

main organ responsible for the processing and the kid-

neys and skin are the main organs responsible for remov-

al. But we come into so many toxins the body is also

‘hiding’ them in places like fat cells.

Just like sweeping dirt under the rug the body uses fat to

hide away toxins, including emotional toxins. This is why

when you lose weight it can feel very stressful as toxins

are released back into the blood. However, it also means

that when you detox the toxins you lose weight too. What

bonus, less toxins means you need less fat so the body

naturally gets rid!

When the body is spending a lot of its time processing all

those toxins there isn’t enough time or resources left to

do general repairs. This is why a toxic lifestyle leads to

cancers and other diseases. When the body has the re-

sources it needs to detox effectively we get far fewer ill-

nesses and disease.

Imagine trying to clean your house while having a big par-

ty. It would be difficult to get it really clean while all the

guests are in the way, dropping crumbs, spilling drinks

etc. It’s the same for your body. We take in toxins con-

stantly and don’t give it the break it needs to have a thor-

ough spring clean. Unless that is you do a detox!

What will a detox do for me?

1. It removes toxins from the body by supporting the

organs responsible for detox

2. It will prevent long term and chronic illness which are

the result of the body filling up with toxins

3. It will enhance your immune system and give it time

to HEAL you from the inside

4. You will lose weight as you flush out toxins stored in

fat

5. Slow down premature aging, which is often the result

of toxic build up

6. Improve your mood and energy levels as your body

works more efficiently

7. Improve your overall health, for example reducing

headaches, joint pain and sleep problems

8. Improve the look and feel of your skin as it is also

used to move toxins out of the body

9. Make you think more clearly as hazy thoughts can be

the result of chemicals affecting the brain

10. Restore your body to a younger, fresher version of

you!

How do I detox?

There are lots of ways you can detox your body but really

it involves 4 components:

Cut out toxins

Supplement your organs

Flush out toxins

Drag out stubborn toxins

This could be as simple as drinking green juices with sup-

May / June 2015 pg 5

plements for a few days or more extreme 21 days with

enemas and more. The intensity of the detox should re-

flect the toxicity of your lifestyle. If you eat processed

food, drink alcohol, smoke or come into contact with

smoke, use cosmetics or drink coffee chances are you

may need a very thorough spring clean!

Fear not! Detox doesn’t have to be difficult but it can be a

little confusing if you don’t know where to begin. So, here

is my quick and easy guide to detox, just 3 days can have

an amazing impact on your body and you can repeat it as

often as you like.

Are you on board?

After learning why detox is so good for you and seeing just

how simple, and tasty it can be, you may be ready to em-

bark on a spring clean for YOUR body. Spring and Autumn

are optimal times of the year to do a detox so if you are

ready to give it a go, or want a little more information

check out my FREE eBook How to Detox which will teach

you HOW and WHY to detox your whole body simply and

effectively.

If, however, you read the 3 day meal plan above and

thought, “I can’t live without my sweets / bread / choco-

late” then you are probably affected by sugar addiction.

It’s not surprising that most of us are. I urge you to consid-

er a specially designed Sugar Detox which will help you

understand and address the sweet villain in your life. My

revolutionary 10 Day Sugar Detox System will help you

combat the dangerous reality of sugar addiction. Your sug-

ar addiction may be worse than you thought ... but my

System is easier than you imagined.

Spring in to a New You!!!

I am absolutely amazed by the body’s ability to heal and

recover. If we give it the right nutrients and the correct

conditions it really can work miracles. It's never too late.

Remember, a detox doesn’t' have to be complicated to be

effective. There is no better time than now to repair, re-

store, and rejuvenate. Now is the time to spring ahead

into a happier and healthier version of you.

In the modern world, we tend to see moments of crisis as

little more then a hindrance in our lives, often misunder-

standing these moments as weakness. We sometimes

foolishly believe, that if we could just get through life

without crisis, all would be perfect.

Moments of crisis offer us spontaneous/unscheduled

doorways into the mystical experience. They can serve as

amazing opportunities for rapid spiritual growth and heal-

ing. How we approach these moments is of utmost im-

portance -making all the difference between successfully

weathering the storm, or being pulled down by the un-

dertows.

In these moments, nothing is decided -it is like arriving at

the precipice of a mountain. When we reach the peak, we

can be overcome by the dizzying heights, blinded by fear/

reason-scurrying down the first route available, or we can

embrace the experience. This gives us a rare opportunity

to survey the landscape and find the best possible route

forward. This embracing takes place in the “heart” the

place of power.

Noticing and learning to take advantage of a crisis oppor-

tunity is not easy, it takes an accumulation of personal

power and wisdom. During a crisis, one is brought directly

to the crossroads of the heart, where impulse and reason

cross with compassion. As we learn to stay centered (not

being pulled by the impulse of our will, or the concepts of

our intellect) we remain in the place of power. Here, in

the heart, we have something meaningful to offer the

situation.

From this heart based place, we have the compassion

needed to illuminate our inner-world. This allows us the

opportunity to view our “Shadow” and the “Higher Self”-

their motivations, and expectations. When first ap-

proached, our Shadow and Higher Self seem like opposing

entities competing to represent the “self”. Working from

Crisis and the Untamed Heart

May June 2015 pg 8

this perspective, we realize all crises are truly spiritual in

nature. In this “spiritual crisis”, we are choosing who we

are when confronted by power. As we develop the ma-

turity and self-love to accept these two sides of our na-

ture, we discover they are complimentary to each other.

They are both needed for wholeness, and to arrive at true

self-hood.

This process is the taming of the heart. It involves cleans-

ing our receptive instruments: intuition and intellect, of

fear and ungrounded ideals/beliefs. We want to see reali-

ty exactly as it is -free of sentimentality and wishful think-

ing. We do this so that our action can come directly from

the wholeness of the heart.

Like with all other things, crisis is information, or energy.

The energy of crisis is qualified as “Hucha”, or heavy. Our

souls make it this way on purpose. In this state, the infor-

mation is really compressed. This is the soul's way of lend-

ing “gravity” to the situation. This gravity is meant to

make us aware of an area where change is needed in our

lives. Re-organizing this information packet, lends us the

energy necessary to make these changes. We can learn to

see reality as waves of energy, then we develop the clarity

to choose which wave to ride into the future.

Our goals, as people who have learned to traverse the

storm, is to help those going through crisis realize the

awesome opportunity at hand. It is often difficult to see in

these moments that there is choice. There is a choice

that, once made, has the magnetism to influence future

events.

I’m retired and feel adrift. J. C.

Although there isn’t a specific question about feeling

adrift, the statement is emotionally charged with sadness

and a weary dissatisfaction. It is less that this is complete-

ly new to you than it is no longer easy for you to be dis-

tracted by the structure and stress from your work. This is

very common in this life changing experience. On a spec-

trum of responses to this change, it can be a temporary

low level grief or a new awareness of an underlying physi-

cal condition. This is an extensive range to work within to

identify your sense of being unanchored. Many times in

seeing this, I’m given the image of a world view where the

person is having a fine life on the surface where the sun is

shining and the flowers are blooming and yet underneath

there is a gray river of emptiness or boredom. That emp-

tiness can be ignored when it is filled with children, work

or a marriage. When a change like retirement, divorce or

children leaving the home removes the distraction the

gray river of emptiness becomes more apparent. If your

work life was stressful and your response had high levels

of adrenaline, you will also feel a significant drop in ener-

gy as adrenaline is one of the important neurohormones

that create mood. Approaches to bringing you to a less

adrift place include determining what creates a better

hormonal response in your brain. Some questions that

can dig this out include: “What was my favorite game or

activity before age 10?” Meditate on the enjoyment of

that activity and how you can recreate that in the now.

For example, if you loved to bike-try spinning at the gym

or get out on the road with a bike you can love. If playing

house was more your style, consider what part of that

was most satisfying- the cooking? the redecorating? tak-

ing care of the babies? If you were a book reader, find a

group that does book study-or better yet start writing for

yourself! Use the energy and creativity that you applied to

your work life, to expanding parts of yourself that were

left undeveloped or hidden. Often change, even if it is

welcome, can be covering painful emotions. Explore tra-

ditional and complementary options, until you find the

combination that surrounds you with the support and

education you need. Start with the practitioners at cen-

teredwellness.org for certified practitioners that can help

you build your best life experience.

I have pressure around my heart. Why does

it race? M. B.

There is a holding pattern at the back of your heart that is

pulling the pericardium. The pericardium is often called

the protective sac around your heart. Your posture on

the left shoulder is rolling forward and compressing this

space around your heart and lungs. When you are partic-

ularly anxious or in a certain hunched forward position

like this for periods of time, the pressure causes the ribs

to move out of alignment, called a rib torque. When you

are in torque, the clavicle, first, second and third cervical

ribs are pulling on the pericardial attachments to the

chest walls. When the shoulder releases the nerve bun-

dles and attachments, the heart runs faster to “catch up”

from being compressed. The anatomy of the heart and

lungs is strong even in torque. The holding pattern and

posture are related to long standing beliefs and fears but

relieving the physical symptoms is the first step. There

are many therapists that are skilled in myofascial release.

You may find some in your health care insurance network

under physical therapy or massage therapy. Crania Sacral

therapy would also be a very good technique for releasing

the torque and retraining the patterns. Interview the

practitioner to ensure that, in addition to certifications

and licensing, they have added training in release work.

Locating a practitioner with demonstrated training, years

of experience and preferably a word of mouth referral

from a friend, is most important. In the interim and ongo-

ing, yoga will support this work very well. Pay attention to

not pushing yourself into symptoms with overdoing and

be gentle in your movements. Expect to have emotions as

this area is where we store emotional experiences that

are behind us and perhaps not completely resolved. This

is an area particularly deserving of a delicate touch and

high level of skill. Contact me for referrals if you have

questions about practitioners and skill levels..

is for Enneagram is for Enneagram

Aetherforce.com

A ccording to Wikipedia: The Enneagram of Per-

sonality, or simply the Enneagram (from the

Greek words ἐννέα [ennea, meaning "nine"] and γράμμα

[gramma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"[1]]),

is a model of human personality which is principally un-

derstood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected

personality types.

If you want to be dogmatic about it, the earliest threads

are found in the work of Evagrius Ponticus, a Christian

mystic who lived in 4th century Alexandria. He catego-

rized various temptations that very closely resemble the

7 deadly sins +/- (gluttony, greed, sloth or laziness, lust,

anger, pride and envy). A couple of centuries later Pope

Gregory defined them as sins and we have been off to the

races ever since.

According to Gurdjieff, we humans are in a waking sleep

state and to navigate this and become awake he devel-

oped a way of blending body mind and spirit to achieve

balance as one develops consciousness. To achieve this

end he used many methods such as music, sacred dance,

writing and interactive exercises with others. He is also

the first seeker to make the enneagram figure public.

Just for fun visit here: http://www.enneagramtest.net

and see what figure you most resemble

Type One is principled, purposeful, self-controlled,

and perfectionistic.

Type Two is generous, demonstrative, people-

pleasing, and possessive.

Type Three is adaptable, excelling, driven, and image-

conscious.

Type Four is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and

temperamental.

Type Five is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and

isolated.

Type Six is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspi-

cious.

Type Seven is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and

scattered.

Type Eight is self-confident, decisive, willful, and con-

frontational.

Type Nine is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and

resigned.

It would take a book to describe the interactions that are

possible along this spiritual path. It suffices to say that

one strives to move from coarser feelings and reactionary

patterns (Obsessive, Compulsive) behaviors into balance

and ultimately into a liberated social level that is more

productive and satisfying.

Ultimately it is as the Buddhist practice suggests. Be pre-

sent. When one is present one appreciates all that life has

to offer and functions at a higher levels.

With this comes health. One cannot move along one path

without impacting the others. (body, mind & spirit). As

you have now realized this is a deep study of one’s self. It

takes time and presence and may require some guidance.

By Roseann Heinrich

On Monday this week, we had the most beautiful day here in and around Cleveland, Ohio. I so enjoyed the warmth and the energy. As I went to bed I heard my thought, “watch out”. I immediately scolded myself and told the angels to erase that thought.

Alas, I think it was just my intuition chiming in. After my T’ai chi chih class on Tuesday, it all went downhill.

I am in process of getting approved to teach a Silver Sneakers class at one of the centers. Last week they told me I was approved. Then they had the person in charge of the facility where I will teach call me. We scheduled an appointment and I went to meet her. We scheduled clas-ses to start this week. I taught my first class there on Tuesday afternoon.

When I came home, I discovered emails saying I was not approved as they needed further information. They also advised me I would not get paid for the class I had just taught.

The approving corporation is in Arizona. So, all is done via a website (new to me) and email/scanning. What a night-mare. I spent hours trying to scan three 8x11 sheets that were necessary for my hire. he printer would not scan the full sheet. I tried reducing the size and rescanning. It was the most frustrating scenario I have experienced in a very long time. The scanner just would not do what I needed it to accomplish. I still have no idea what was go-ing on. I was so distraught; I turned off the printer in hopes of rebooting it. Never had this problem before.

When I awoke this morning, the angels said to take a pic-ture with my camera and email it. I was excited. Ah, an answer. (Yes, I had been asking for help all along.)

I took pictures and talked to Arch Angel Michael about protecting my information and emailed. When I returned from teaching today, the emails arrived saying that this or

that was cut off of this or that form. OMG!! Frustration at a higher degree. I go off and teach T’ai Chi Chih and I come home calm and mellow only to find frustration with another technical problem.

Amidst this, I had agreed to write for another ezine. It sounded very interesting and is internationally known. Well, guess what??? All done on line.

I have been reading documents for the last several days for both of these things wondering why I have complicat-ed my life with wandering around websites trying to fig-ure things out as I read directions.

I must take responsibility for this. I have been asking the Universe to help me stay abreast of the technology as I do not want to grow older like some of my peers and not know how to navigate the world with a cell, ipad, etc, etc.

The world is changing rapidly and we all need to keep up.

Well, I think I have finally fulfilled the needs of the agency that needs to approve my teaching skill. It matters not that I have been teaching since 2001. They even had an issue with the fact that my credentials do not have an expiration date. Help me Godde!! But, alas, I think we are complete.

I also “think” my article for the new magazine is done. But who knows, maybe, maybe not.

Then I get the email that this latest issue‘s deadline is “now”. While I contemplate what to write, the air condi-tioner man comes out to clean the unit and ensure that all is well. When he turns the water on to flush the sys-tem, he discovers that the extreme cold of the winter has left us with a busted pipe high in a wall.

So, I am asking today, “What am I to learn from all the frustration”.

I open my emails to take a break and have a message from my teacher Doreen Virtue. She talks about the ener-

Several types of readings are available:

Animal Communication: If you would like to know what your pet is thinking or would like to tell them something, I am able to telepathically communicate with animals. I can also talk to your pet that has passed on.

Guide and Power Animal Readings: You can find out what animals you have around you for guides, and which is your Power Animal. Your Power Animal is a reflection of you.

Paranormal Spirit Readings: You can find out if there are any ghosts in your home or place of work. I will send them on and clear out negative energy they leave behind

Pet Oracle Card Readings: You can get a message from your pet or get an insight to your relationship with them.

Animal Runes: Get a brief insight into something in your life.

If your pet is having a health or behavior issue, a Bach Flower may help them. Bach Flower Recipes are all natu-ral and work on emotions where a lot of issues originate.

I do Natural Health and Energy Work. I use these energy modalities: Reiki, Quantum Touch, Qi Gong, and Jin Shin Jyutsu. I teach Reiki, clear Chakras, and use Gemstones for healing.

I am looking forward to helping you or your pet feel better or just stay healthy on a natural path. With infi-nite love and gratitude, Liz Call: 440-552-9915 / Email: Lizard91134@wowway.com Visit website: www.Revlizmadsencnhprmt.vpweb.com

gy we are currently experiencing and how we might feel overwhelmed, like there is not enough time in the day or day in the time. It is all energetic and not about me at all! Sometimes, we are not supposed to learn, we are just sup-posed to do the things that help us through trying times. I am going to do some T’ai Chi Chih and then I am putting in a video and doing Zumba. Those are the things for me. What gets you through trying times? Do them instead of reaching for the glass of wine or the chocolate cake.

Namsate’ I love you all and we are in it together.

Remember we really wanted to be here for this shift…a lot of people did not make the cut, but we did….Aren’t we special? - Roseann

Seeing is believing, but a bizarre experiment revealed that people are affected by sound they cannot hear nor see. Scientists working at Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral analyzed the responses of 250 people who heard a 50 mi-nute piano recital and also inaudible vibrations, too low in pitch for them to hear. The audience's emotions intensi-fied as the inaudible sound vibrations were blasted out. Those feeling uncomfortable before the concert got in-creasingly angry. Their emotion intensified during the pi-ano performance. Others, who were initially happy, got progressively more joyful. Focused concentration on mu-sic has a mesmerizing effect, almost hypnotic. The surpris-ing thing is that this is also true for inaudible sound.

In experiments, people felt physical affects from the silent blasts: tingling in the back of the neck and a strange feel-ing in the stomach.[1] This should not come as a surprise as many scientists confirmed harmful effects from un-heard or unseen vibrations, such as microwaves and elec-trical energy. A science experiment conducted by students in Denmark demonstrated that unheard vibrations from cell phones mutilated bean sprouts in a matter of days. Sharry Edwards, who brought forth the science of BioA-coustics, states certain sounds can make us physically ill.

It is well documented that sound entrains brainwaves, creating specific states of consciousness, Music makes us feel happy as we dance to a lively beat and feel sad with another song. Clearly vibrations of sound change us.

At least within the hearing spectrum, we have a clue as to the impact of sound vibrations because we can hear them. Vibrations, even those unheard, can intensify our emotions – for better or worse. Our brain waves can be deliberately altered with sounds, with a similar result – altering our consciousness. Can we be brainwashed or influenced – without a clue as to what is impacting us?

This revives the ancient argument about free will versus

destiny. Do we choose our emotions and thoughts, or do we respond like robots to unseen vibrations? Inaudible vibrations have a strong impact on us – our body, mind and emotions, and we are helpless to avoid the strong influences. Waves in close proximity combine – like it or not.

As a consequence of this breaking new knowledge - we should not take people’s emotional responses personally – maybe their behavior is a result of some unheard sound vibrations or influence.

Finally, are there “Sound Stalkers?” Are people creating unheard blasts to thin the populations or at least make them ill, depressed or angry? Given all the people creating computer viruses with intent on wreaking havoc… this action would not be hard to conceive of. How many un-scrupulous people are blasting us with unheard sounds – what kind of protection do we have?

Sound blasts can be used for good – for nutrition, for en-couraging positive emotions, to elevating our conscious-ness and awareness, and more. How about educating people on how we ingest sound? We should monitor un-heard vibrations and be warned of their effects. Ultimate-ly, when are we going to take what we listen to seriously?

Plotinus of ancient Greece wrote: “Harmonies unheard create the harmonies we hear and wake the soul to the consciousness of beauty.” He suggested that subtle, un-heard sounds (such as those coming from nature) are the sounds that influence musicians to create beautiful works of art. Whether or not unheard sounds (from tiny volumes or out of our hearing range) help or hurt us, is not the big-gest issue. We are influenced by all kinds of vibrations, without a clue to their influence, which can be significant. It is time to wake up and take control of our vibratory world!
