What is the Matrix? Matrix Energetics - a system of heal-

ing, self-care and transformation

Matrix Energetics is a complete system of healing, self-

care and transformation. It is a transferable and teachable

phenomenon, powered by intent, which has a physical

and observable effect every time. Complete beginners as

well as seasoned health care practitioners are able to per-

form and utilize this work to affect change-with no

waiting and no running of energy. Anyone can learn this

skill and practice Matrix Energetics.

Matrix Energetics starts with a gentle light touch and the

power of focused intent and builds into a new and joy-

filled state that can affect life changes. This exciting new

tool can be used to heal, to transform and to create new

possibilities. It's very much about transforming your be-

liefs concerning healing, disease and the structure of real-

ity.

Matrix Energetics sometimes appears magical in its ex-

pression but is based on the laws and expression of subtle

energy physics and the concepts and laws of quantum

physics, superstring theory and Sheldrake's Morphic Reso-

nance. Often you will see and feel a wave like motion

when Matrix Energetics is applied, as the person being

worked on experiences a smooth wave of transformation

and the body seems to drop in a completely relaxed wave

instantly. This can happen standing up, sitting down or

laying on a table. The participants are taught specific

methods of using a powerful, focused intent. This is com-

bined with application of a light touch method for identi-

fying the parts of the body where the Matrix Energetics

"wave" will yield optimum results. What seems to be hap-

pening is that the unconsciousness and the biological

physical fields are interacting.

Experience of Matrix Energetics

Matrix Energetics is not a "thing" to be defined - it is, in-

stead, a pathway to transformation. This transformation

takes place by communicating at the quantum level with

the wave fronts (energy and information) that create all

of reality. The tools taught in the seminar are simply a

language used to access this pathway and map the trans-

formation that occurs. The application of this method of

transformation is only limited by your imagination. What

are you doing when you "do" Matrix Energetics? You are

creating and transforming reality at the quantum level

and observing the macro effects of that change.

This new paradigm gives you instant access to new states

of awareness which make it possible to interact with the

material world and transform it - to affect change con-

nected to past traumas, injuries and emotional patterns.

Matrix Energetics shows us how we can consciously

choose to observe in a different way. As a natural exten-

sion of changing your way of perceiving, your old reality

collapses and new possibilities materialize instantly. Phys-

ical and emotional conditions can be resolved with the

speed of thought. People affect verifiable, observable

changes instantly. Often you will see and feel a wave like

motion when Matrix Energetics is applied, as the person

being worked on experiences a smooth wave of transfor-

mation. What seems to be happening is that the uncon-

sciousness and the biological physical field matrix is rear-

ranging itself.

July / August 2015 pg 4

Utilizing Matrix Energetics enables one to engage a

state, or way of being, that creates miraculous changes

that can be actualized every time by novices and experts

alike. It frees us from the non-miraculous, static belief

systems that have dominated our daily lives. People

from all walks of life will be able to perform and utilize

this work to affect change-with no waiting and no run-

ning of energy. YOU affect your physical surroundings in

a powerful, permanent, new way.

There are no barriers to the expression of this energy

and there are no limitations for it. The limitations are in

your own mind and with practice you transcend those

limitations. It is like learning a new language or acquiring

a new skill in a sport, where first you have to think about

all the rules, and then at some point, you begin to think

in the language itself or act fluidly with skill.

Like many things that are founded on feelings and sen-

sations, it is generally much easier to experience Matrix

Energetics than to try to understand it. It is human na-

ture for us to make assumptions about new experiences

by comparing them to encounters with information or

activities that seem in some way similar to us. Tradition-

ally we build new skills by making adaptations from pre-

vious actions and thoughts. Do not make this mistake:

what I am talking about is an entirely new paradigm.

Matrix Energetics and the Laws of

subtle energy and physics

According to modern physicists, all reality can be de-

scribed as vibrations and waveform patterns, that every-

thing is light and information.

Biological information fields form an active, constantly

resonating matrix. This matrix and its interconnections

provide for a continuum for rapid, coherent intercom-

munication throughout the body. The vibrations and

waveforms in this matrix can be changed, meaning that

anyone can collapse the current reality such as an injury

pattern or some stuck situation within the body or emo-

tions and introduce one of many other new possibilities

that are more useful.

Disease may be defined as a disruption, cessation or dis-

tortion arising in the matrix of these information fields.

Physical and emotional injuries impair communication at

the cellular level. The application of the Matrix Ener-

getics field re-establishes the flow of biological infor-

mation so that the body can better respond to stimuli in

its internal and external environments.

Key Thoughts for Matrix Energetics:

It is more than a technique

Although there is a specific set of methods taught and

work-shopped at our seminars such the two-points, arche-

type technique and time travel, Matrix Energetics itself is

not a technique but a consciousness shift. It's using an en-

ergy field and a consciousness, like a standing wave. And

it's always there. People in the seminar who've never done

any so-called healing work in their lives, never done any-

thing, will suddenly access the matrix wave and knock peo-

ple to the floor in the first ten minutes. Because once you

"get it" - the knack of the way you observe your reality,

attach a new paradigm, and then attach a new conscious-

ness to that paradigm, then you get instantaneous changes

in physical matter.

There is nothing physical - Instant change is possible

We teach from the premise that we are spirit living in a

physical body; that we can access a reality that is no longer

limiting and instantaneous change at the speed of light is

possible - We introduce time travel and other techniques.

These techniques enable us to access the lattice of infor-

mation in new ways to affect change. The process of con-

ceptualizing an energetic interaction as needing manipula-

tion of a muscle or bone, repeated therapy or the running

of energy, etc. limits transformation's speed, intensity, po-

tential and depth of expression. Seeing change as some-

thing which entails a mechanical process slows down the

observer's reality. Something that potentially can be in-

stantaneous slows to a process that conforms to your pre-

vious therapeutic expectations.

Matrix Energetics creates a state by which transformation

can materialize. The more you trust, the greater your

wave, the greater your experience of transformation -- just

remember though that the description of energy and

matter as composed of waves describes and allows you

through the power of focused intent to enter into a non-

consensus reality in which the product of your imagined

outcome can encode and imprint on consciousness in such

a way that physical observable changes become the prod-

uct. You're creating an altered state, a different reality,

which you energize and give life to with your active imagi-

nation. And it can all happen now.

You are learning to co-create

You're creating an altered state, a different reality, which

you energize and give life via your active imagination. So

the secret is that your imagination, your creative imagina-

tion, is the force.

You can reliably experience something that appears

magical, but which is also measurable

All energetic medicine, all healing, all consciousness-based

techniques will work, but can you reproduce them every

time? Can you get to the point where you know you had

an effect? With Matrix Energetics you can measure the

effects, the person you worked with can measure the

effect, and you can both agree that there was an outcome.

Does that sound exciting? Matrix Energetics allows you to

access a source of immense power limited only by your

imagination, that you can use to work on yourself, help

your children or loved ones, or help all sentient life.

It works equally with anything.

And it's always there 24 hours a day.

Matrix Energetics is a new idea that is supported by mod-

ern physics, subtle energy physics, quantum physics. In

order to really understand the magnitude of what is possi-

ble with this system, you must experience it for yourself. If

you're a practitioner of some healing modalities, whatever

you do, Matrix Energetics provides a new tool and shift in

thinking that can apply it to anything that you want to ac-

complish.

I’m having panic attacks every evening.

What is the best thing to do? I don’t want to

take drugs.

With intuitive examination, it is a case of moderate to se-

vere dehydration. This otherwise healthy young man is

working as a landscaper in direct sun up to 7 hours a day.

He uses coffee in the morning and soft drinks in the after-

noon when he is thirsty. By evening his cell salt and fluid

balance is out of alignment and his vascular circulation is

really stressed. He eats a large meal and rests in front of

the TV.

Both metabolism and being in a resting state further de-

crease his circulation. His heart has to beat faster to com-

pensate for low fluid. Increased heart rate and increase

rate of breathing are symptoms that tell the body to “get

help” creating panic-like sensations. He has been advised

on how to rehydrate himself and replace the salts needed

to stay in balance.

Remember, all fluids do not add to your tissue hydration.

For every cup of caffeinated or carbonated drink, your

body needs an additional same size amount of water to

be able to clear it out of your system.

Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make

you tired. Water is your body's principal chemical compo-

nent and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight.

Every system in your body depends on water. For exam-

ple, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutri-

ents to your cells, and provides a moist environment for

ear, nose and throat tissues.

How much water do you need? There is debate about

volume needed. A safe guideline from the Institute of

Medicine determined that an adequate intake for men is

roughly about 13 cups a day, and for women, 9 cups a

day.

My 9 year old daughter started her menstru-

al period, which I think is way young. What

is the best in current information and guide-

lines on this? Anything I need to know to

help her?

Early maturation and puberty has been researched for the

past 12 years. The evidence indicates many environmen-

tal factors: fluorescent lighting, plastics and the break-

down of plastics in foods such as BPA.

Some studies indicated obesity as a factor which rests

more in the addition of GMO to soy, corn and basic prod-

ucts that most children are given in infancy. Some formu-

las for babies are GMO based.

There is also a major difference in early maturation for

cultures. Country of origins where it is very warm and the

presence of dark skin show a 4-6 year earlier onset of pu-

berty for both genders.

As I look at your daughter, it is clearly more environmen-

tal plastics and water pollutants with some minor effects

of cultural factor. Although she is having this experience,

her compensation against environmental effects to her

system is excellent. Her liver is clearly doing a good job

of filtering out the more damaging toxins and excreting

them rather than having them gather in the organs.

Cleaning up her nutrition with organic, local, and seasonal

is the first step.

Noticing and eliminating any beauticeuticals is the next. I

have a friend whose parents brought her the CK perfume

(Calvin Klein) that is made for both genders. It is phero-

mone based, meant as a sexual “attractant”. Her hor-

mones were very disrupted and caused some grim sec-

ondary sexual behaviors and mood disorder signs before

they recognized the source of the problem. Young chil-

dren are also playing with makeup and nail polish with

dangerous poison bases, one example is arsenic.

Use of health care products is next. Bubble baths, oils,

lotions and deodorants are frequently created by petro-

chemical corporations. Use organic feminine products

during her period. The mainstream products are GMO

cotton and saturated in bleach to make the fibers white.

You are her role model. She will do as you do. Again,

organic. Read labels. If it isn’t a recognizable word, don’t

use it, eat it or give it to your child. If you have the ener-

gy, sign petitions, add your voice to your government rep-

resentatives on any or all of these issues.

Thank you for the question. We all need to stay awake

and aware.

By Roseann Zaft

T he sun is shining, you’re feeling good, confident

and sexy in your new swimsuit and then….

somebody brings out a tray of desserts. If you

are anything like me, your mood can drop in-

stantly at the sight of forbidden food. You know that sug-

ar hit will only last a few minutes but you can’t help ob-

sessively thinking about it and trying to convince yourself

it will be ok if you just have one, two, three, four bites.

But then it happens… You are POWERLESS

Does it have to be this way?

Summer is a time to relax, have fun, meet friends and

bask in the warmth of the sunshine for a few months. It’s

also a time for BBQs, cookouts, parties, graduations and

holidays. With each celebration comes a minefield of

food. You eat, drink, get merry, then for the next few days

your body has to detox the latest damage. Does this

sound familiar?

Yes, the slippery slope of sugar can easily drag us down.

Even just a little indulgence can impair the immune sys-

tem and reduce your mood while messing with your gut.

The effects on your body and mind just aren’t worth it.

You know you are going to feel guilty and a bit sick after

you polish off that cake. That’s addiction. Sugar is a drug,

there’s no getting away from that fact.

Unfortunately sugar is a drug which has become accepted

by society, much like smoking was. However, things are

changing. You don’t need to be a slave to sugar. You can

make healthy delicious choices and learn how to uncover

hidden sugars in your summer treats. We are going to

empower you with some sugar free alternatives which

will keep you feeling sunny and not left out.

What’s hiding in your food?

The first step in planning a sugar-free summer is to know

where sugar is lurking. Some sugar is obvious, like adding

a teaspoon full into your coffee, but most isn’t. Most of

the sugars consumed are added while food is processed in

food processing plants. They don’t care about your

health, or even the taste. They care about profit and stud-

ies have shown repeatedly that the more sugar is added,

the more people eat. Surprised? You shouldn’t’ be. I’m

not…. it’s a DRUG!

Here in the US we top the charts for sugar coating our

food. Did you know that when Europeans visit and eat out

they often complain that everything tastes too sweet,

even things like fries? This is because we are so used to

sugar being added to our food supply that many people

don’t even realize they are being kept hooked. Is that

fair? There would be an outcry if heroin was being added

to our food but sugar is just as bad… seriously. It’s more

addictive than illegal drugs and we feed it to our kids!

Sugar suspects

So, if you want to get serious about cutting out or just

cutting back on sugar in your diet, you need to know how

to find it. Just like a detective, you might need a magnify-

ing glass to read the labels and spot some of the names of

sugar. Have you heard of panocha? It’s sugar. What about

turbinado? Yep, that’s sugar too. How about barley malt?

Yeah, you got it, another sugar.

There are literally HUNDREDS of different names for sug-

ar. Why? Because food producers want to hide it from

you. They don’t want you to know it’s there. Does that

sound fair to you? Where’s our freedom of choice? Food

producers know how dangerous sugar is for your health,

it has been linked to so many diseases its no longer up for

debate. Sugar is bad for you. Period. Savvy consumers are

wising up and checking labels but greedy food manufac-

turers try and keep a step ahead by renaming the sugar!

crushcravings

Playing it safe

Honestly the only way to be completely sure is to make

the food yourself! Avoid anything in a packet, wrapper,

box or even tin unless you have thoroughly checked and

understood the label (that’s the tricky part!)

Even if it is labelled ‘healthy’ it probably isn’t. Here are

some of the top, surprising, sugar offenders to be aware

of:

Sauces: ketchup, BBQ sauce, baked bean sauce, salad

dressings

Salads: Coleslaw and pre-packed salads

Soft-drinks: energy drinks, sodas, ice-teas, sports

drinks, flavored milks

Cereals: granola, cereal bars, boxes of cereals, instant

oatmeal, anything ‘clustered’ (that cluster is made

from sugar!)

Desserts: low-fat yogurts, low-fat ice-cream, low-fat

anything (they swap the fat for sugar)

So what is left that tastes good AND is good to eat?

Natural foods, fresh fruit and vegetables and nuts don’t

have added sugar. They contain natural sweetness which

gives you energy and life force. Find a farmers’ market

where you can trust the food quality and know you are

supporting local businesses. Fresh organic seasonal food

is what our bodies are designed to thrive on. How do you

feel after eating meal that you know is good for you, full

of fresh produce, compared to binging on fries and frozen

yogurt?

Cutting out sugar doesn’t mean missing out. There are

loads of ways you can feel treated and satisfied without

having to give in to your addiction. Here are some simple

summer ideas you can try along with my favorite sugar

free blueberry pie recipe. Here’s how to stay sugar safe

this summer…

1. Balance is key

When you get low on energy you crave food, you may feel

it as tiredness, irritability, or low mood and you reach for

something sweet. Instead try to eat little and often, incor-

porating healthy fats (like coconut and avocado) into your

diet. Guacamole (avocado dip) is a great way of adding

some extra healthy fats into your meal, you can spread it,

and dip in it. Enjoy its luxurious creamy texture and adjust

is garlicky taste to suit your palate. Good quality proteins

are another way of ensuring you don’t get hungry too

soon. Grass-fed meat or poultry provides high quality es-

sential amino acids without all the junk added into heavily

processed meats. Just a little protein in a meal will slow

down digestion keeping you feeling full and energized for

longer.

2. Get wet

In the hot weather it’s vitally important to keep well hy-

drated. However, domestic tap water contains all sorts of

chemicals used to treat and sanitize the water, as well as

many medicinal waste products which are not adequately

filtered out. Ideally, drink spring water or bottled water

unless you have a filter on your tap. Keeping hydrated will

keep your body functioning optimally and keep your head

clear. Staying hydrated will also curb sugar cravings, as we

often reach for food when actually we’re thirsty. Next

time you go to grab a snack try having a drink of water

instead and see if that hits the spot.

3. Delicious drinks

Sodas are typically one of the worst offenders when it

comes to the empty calories of added sugar. They are

packed with sugar or worse, artificial sweeteners which

are not good for your mental or physical health. Instead

why not make your own infused water? Just add some

peppermint leaves or CPTG essential peppermint oil from

doTERRA to your water to add some flavor without the

addiction. If you like something sweeter just half a tea-

spoon of honey can go a long way. Why not try a twist of

lemon or lime, or cold tea to flavor your hydration? Add-

ing a drop of lemon or wild orange CPTG essential oil pro-

vides just flavor without sugar, PLUS the benefits of the

essential oils to assist in daily detoxing! Get your oil here:

4. Mocktails

July / August 2015 pg 11

When we drink we lose a level of self-control. Whether

that’s flirting with somebody you shouldn’t or devouring a

huge chunk of cake, you may want to avoid that next day

guilty feeling. Cutting your drink with sparkling water or

fruit juice will reduce the amount of alcohol you con-

sume, which is metabolized into sugar by your body. You

could cut the alcohol altogether and mix yourself a deli-

cious mocktail, for example mock pina colada with all the

same deliciousness, coconut cream and pineapple but

without the after effects of the alcohol. Have a virgin

cocktail, or mocktail, to preserve your waistline, mind…

and dignity.

5. Cool for cats

Ice cream is a summer favorite, especially good on steam-

ing hot days, but you can get a similar cold treat by mak-

ing your own sugar-free ice pops. Just get some ice pop

molds, or some wooden popsicle sticks and paper cups,

and mix your own. Try different pure fruit juices or in-

fused waters, you can even add extra variety by freezing it

in layers, allowing time between different colors and fla-

vors. The kids will love them and better still they won’t

have a period of sugar-fuelled craziness after eating one!

What flavor would you like to freeze? You could even go a

step further and dip them in some sugar-free stevia choc-

olate. Yummy… I want one now!

6. Salad dressings

These are so easy to make yourself and you can experi-

ment with flavors you enjoy. Spice it up, add garlic or

maybe a little coconut nectar for a sweet chili dressing.

Start with the basics of oil (nut oils taste really good) and

add something acidic (lemon juice, vinegar or even or-

ange juice). You can mix it all up in a little jar and add

whatever flavors you like, fresh herbs, spices, something

hot. Endless variety, fantastic taste, minimal effort!

7. Baked beans

From a can these come with plenty of added sugars and

other unnecessary ingredients. Make them yourself and

you get to experiment with different types of beans,

different spices, a whole variety of flavors and textures to

suit your taste. Beans are packed with fiber and really

good for you. Just pop soak some beans (traditionally har-

icot) overnight and the next day boil, or pressure cook,

them until tender. Meanwhile make a tomato sauce by

chopping up a fresh onion, then several tomatoes and

cooking slowly in a little oil. Add some spices like chili,

cumin, paprika, garlic and a little of something sweet like

maple syrup. Cook it all up, slowly simmer while the flavor

develops and then mix with the beans. Simple, delicious,

better than from a can and you know it’s going to be good

for you.

8. Get crunchy

Textures are really important and if you like the crunch of

chips and the familiar dipping action, why not experiment

with crudités (that’s French for bits of raw vegetable!)

dipped in hummus? Carrots, celery, cucumber and mange

tout all make excellent dipping instruments. Your hum-

mus can be made out of any number of different beans, it

hasn’t just got to be chickpeas. Simply cook your chick-

peas or beans (remember to soak them overnight) then

cool slightly, depending how impatient you are! Blend

them with a little oil, salt, garlic and lemon juice. If you

have tahini (ground sesame seeds) that’s great, add a

little, if not just throw in a few nuts, there is no right and

wrong here! Then you can experiment with other flavors,

add some fresh chili, some fresh herbs. Rocket goes really

well with hummus, it adds a nice peppery kick. Get dip-

ping with these guilt-free indulgences designed to suit

your tastes.

9. All wrapped up

We love to eat with our hands; sandwiches, hamburgers,

wraps – all well designed for social eating while standing

and chatting. But do you really want that bun, bread, ba-

gel or wrap? Many people are sensitive to gluten, we’re

not really designed to eat it, and commercial versions

from the supermarket WILL have added sugar. So why not

try some alternatives. Big lettuce leaves, like romaine,

make excellent alternatives for you to wrap your burger,

falafel or other goodies in. They are flexible enough to

hold everything in place and can even be packed away for

a picnic. Ban the bread and your belly will thank you!

10. Bring your own

If you planning on attending a get together and are nerv-

ous you won’t get any sweet treats suitable for your anti-

Sugar– Free Berry Pie

Ingredients:

For the crust

2 cups nuts (your choice: almonds, pecans, walnuts, mac-

adamia)

2 tbsp. ground flax seed

1 cup pitted dates

¼ tsp. salt

For the filling

6 cups fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries

and/or strawberries)

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. psyllium powder (or flax meal as a thickener)

1-2 tsps. chia seed

1 cup pitted dates

Dash of cinnamon

Garnish

Decorate the top with a few more berries or some coco-

nut flakes

Directions:

Blend the nuts and ground flax seed in a food proces-

sor to a small crumb consistency.

Add the dates and salt, blend well, then transfer into

a 9-inch pie plate; press to form the crust.

Place the pie crust in the freezer for about 15

minutes while you prepare the filling.

Put 2 cups of the fruit, the lemon juice, and the

soaked dates, psyllium, chia and cinnamon into a high

-speed blender and blend to a smooth liquid.

Put the remaining fruit into a large bowl, pour the

blended mixture over the fruit and mix it all together.

Take the pie crust out of the freezer and pour/spread

the fruit mixture into it.

You can eat it right away, but it’s better if you can pa-

tiently refrigerate it for a few hours!

You should eat the pie within a few days (yea right, it will

be gone pretty soon)! It’s so healthy you can have it for

breakfast!

This summer why not try joining thousands of others who

are going sugar free? The next time somebody offers you

something you know isn’t good for you, what are you go-

ing to say?

How about “No thanks, I don’t eat sugar”?

They may try and persuade you to just have a small bit -

because they feel guilty they are eating it and want to

bring you into their guilt so they feel better about them-

selves. That’s how coercion works. It helps the guilty par-

ty feel lees guilty.

Being prepared for the persuasion and feeling empow-

ered with alternatives will give you the sweetest summer

of all, you might even drop a few pounds while your sugar

scoffing neighbors pile them on. Wishing you the happi-

est and healthiest, sugar-free summer yet… one bite at a

time!

BODYBODY

By Martin Zucker

Elvis Presley had a bright idea in his 1964 song “Bare-

foot Ballad” about kicking off your shoes and kicking off your blues.

What Elvis didn’t know is that the instant you put your bare feet down on the ground outside you establish an electric contact with the Earth and there’s a powerful shift inside your body.

Either barefoot outside or grounded inside as well, you are receiving the natural, subtle frequencies that pulse through the surface of our electrodynamic planet. And these frequencies, according to Earthing research, have a genuinely soothing, uplifting influence on your nervous system and mood.

The latest evidence comes from a 2014 Earthing study on facial blood flow conducted by electrophysiologist Gaétan Chevalier, Ph.D., of the Developmental and Cell Biology Department at the University of California at Irvine, and the director of the Earthing Institute. In the study, Dr. Chevalier documented that Earthing improved facial blood flow. At the same time, he also tested the mood of the 40 participants.

In the study, the participants sat in a comfortable recliner chair for one hour and were either grounded (27 partici-pants) or sham grounded (13) during the time. So all were quite relaxed by the end of the session. Before and after the session, they were asked to fill out a question-naire about their mood.

An analysis of the questionnaires showed that in compari-son to the sham grounded group, the grounded partici-pants had a more pleasant experience, felt more positive, and more relaxed.

“Grounding improves measurements of mood within one hour, suggesting a potential positive effect on health,” Dr. Chevalier concluded. His findings were published in the online journal Psychological Reports.

The findings add to previous research documenting a pos-itive effect from grounding on aspects of the physiology related to stress and mood.

A 2004 study showing a normalizing influence on the stress hormone, cortisol. Nine out of the 12 participants in the study reported reductions in emotional stress after six weeks of sleeping grounded.

Studies published in 2006 and 2007 showing less muscle tension among grounded subjects, compared to non-grounded subjects, and a shift in autonomic nervous sys-tem function from a stress-stimulated sympathetic mode to a calmer parasympathetic mode.

A 2010 study demonstrating rapid activation – within sec-onds – of the parasympathetic system.

A 2011 study showing this same improved balance, and again rapidly, within the autonomic nervous system, as determined by measuring heart rate variability, a yard-stick of nervous system balance or lack of balance on car-diac function.

In 2011 and again in 2012, researchers found a unique and rapid stability of the body’s electrical functioning ex-erted by Earthing, suggesting that bare skin contact with the Earth helps regulate the nervous system and signifi-cantly influences the electrical activity of the brain.

Feedback from the Field The evidence from these multiple studies provides a crys-

tallizing picture of why, over the years, many individuals report that their moods have improved from grounding, that they feel less anxious or as depressed, and that they feel more centered. We also believe that moods improve as a result of Earthing’s influence on pain reduction and hormone balance.

Here are some comments:

“My wife is 47. Her periods/going through meno-pause issues have been more regular. Her hot flashes have almost disappeared. Her moods have been more stable when her period approaches. She sleeps deeper and better.”

“The biggest benefit…and maybe the least immedi-ately noticeable….my whole family, 3 and 8 year olds, the wife, and I….we are all happier. Kids are inquisi-tive and energetic, temper tantrums are gone. Par-ents are more patient. We are all more optimistic. This is a subtle benefit….not easy to put one’s finger on. This is the biggest blessing of all!!”

“My 12 year old son is experiencing deeper breath and sleep, more vivid dreams and much better sense of well-being, calmness. He has focus issues. But since we’ve been grounding his school grades, moods, coping skills have drastical-ly improved.”

“I’ve been Earthing for a couple of years. I used to suffer all winter with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I took vitamin D and that made a little difference but not that much. This last winter I was happy all along because of Earthing until the connection came loose at the wall socket for two days. I felt like hell, the same hell I felt every winter since the 1940s. Then I discovered the disconnection, reattached the mat to earth ground and slept all night. The next morning I felt great! That’s an overnight cure of SAD, unheard of.”

“I have had great success in improving my health with grounding. Also the mood swings I experienced at certain times of the month are gone. I feel better and I am able to tolerate daily stresses better.”

“After one month of grounding, I have noticed a change in temperament of my 4 year old daughter. She has become calm, composed, and very happy! She wakes up in a happy mood and remains that way all day. It is a marked change in her.”

“A friend of mine, a woman in her sixties, was diag-nosed with terminal cancer. She was given two months to live. I sent her an Earthing wristband and

she is now sleeping ten hours versus seven, awaken-ing with much less pain and inflammation and her energy level has improved dramatically. Her mood has changed as well. She feels less angry.”

A Psychiatrist’s Perspective

From an integrative psychiatrist, we have this perspec-tive: “For patients with anxiety (post-traumatic stress dis-order, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, etc.), reconnecting with the Earth can assist with an improved sense of safety. By improving sleep, Earthing can help normalize serotonin levels in the brain as it decreases cortisol (an anxiety-inducing hormone). When cortisol levels are high, there is a tendency to go into ‘fight-or-flight’/panic responses to stressful situations and become more easily angered or irritable. As cortisol levels de-crease and stabilize, we become more centered, peaceful and calm. In short, we get more easily into our heart and have more compassion for our self as well as for others.

“For patients with depression, Earthing can assist with stabilizing serotonin and this assists with decreasing cry-ing spells, near-tearfulness, and obsessive/repetitive neg-ative thoughts. When depressive symptoms decrease, energy levels improve and tolerance to stressful situa-tions, pain, or discomfort improves.”

Finally, in a 2012 wellness conference for women, 100 attendees were grounded for one hour while listening to a lecture. At the end of that time, the women were asked to fill out a questionnaire. Among the results was that 82 percent felt their mood had improved, by an average of about 40 percent.

There are many remedies for stress and bad mood. Medi-tation. A walk. Yoga. A glass of wine. Watching a come-dy. Chocolate. Ice cream. And of course, medica-tion. Whatever your preference or needs, be sure to ground yourself as well.

Summer is Here!!!

Wow, it is already June 8, 2015. I usually get my

newsletter out by the 5th. If time moves anymore

quickly, we will blink the days away.

This summer I find myself wanting more and more

downtime. I received a lovely swing for my deck for

Mother’s Day and it calls me to it on a regular basis. I

love going out in the morning and evening swinging

while I read or just to BE present with the out of

doors.

I guess allowing myself to do what is

calling me is “following my heart”. I

hope everyone is following their heart

this summer in at least one small way

each day. Namaste’

Good morning,

Our message today is easy to absorb. There

is so much light flowing into your being alive

and in human form at this time. You may find

you are more easily fatigued than you were in

past years. This has nothing to do with the

aging process.

Your bodies are working harder to absorb the

light necessary to meet the needs of a new

energy. Give yourself enough time to

rest. Focus on eating healthfully to support

the additional light coming into the bodies.

There are a variety of new healing modalities

available for the ever increasing light

body. Choose those that call to you. You

each still have individual physical identities

so you will not be drawn to all modali-

ties. Your heart will show you the way if you

listen.

A new era is upon you and now is the time to

call to you the dream you

dream for your future.

Many blessings in

this radiant new

energy.

The Angels.

SOUND

M usic was used for a variety of purposes, but

many uses have been forgotten and lost.

Work chants were used with sailors, field

workers, slaves and soldiers to increase their productivity.

Musical rhythms created patterns of organization and

control movement – for an activity such as rowing a boat.

It created unity and cooperation among workers. The mu-

sical rhythm set a work pace. It also helped people focus

on the music and not the hard, and arduous work.

Some songs give people identity, like “our” song, and

songs for a sports team or a group or nation. Jingles can

persuade people to accept a certain point of view. Jingles

are used extensively in China to promote political points

of view and in advertising to encourage people to buy a

product.

When ancient conquerors came into a new land, they

quickly outlawed local music – as their music strength-

ened identity in a culture and its old ways. The Russians

did this in Finland during World War II, outlawing the mu-

sic, Finlandia, as it gave the local people courage and

strength. Music has more power than we give it credit for.

Special uplifting music can change a person’s outlook, cre-

ating a window to heaven – a new way of feeling and

thinking. Ancient people referred to music that altered

and uplifted a person’s conscious as the “music of the

spheres.”

Author Viola Pettit Neal, wrote about a novel use of mu-

sic, “The conquest of evil will ultimately be accomplished

by use of rituals of sound and form. For evil is that which

is disharmonious and cannot exist in harmonious pattern

of sound and form. The word ‘ritual’ in its true definition

is an orderly movement of sound and geometrical form in

sequential patterns.” Neal suggests that harmonious mu-

sic can overcome disharmony (evil). Many African tribes

surround someone who has behaved badly, singing their

name and song to them – reestablishing harmony. It

makes sense that Osama bin Laden outlawed music for his

followers. Guess it would be hard to prepare for a suicide

bombing mission, when you were humming a breezy

Beach Boys tune. Such harmony would make it near im-

possible to get people do heinous deeds.

Could we use music to change people that have done un-

scrupulous things? Why not use harmonic and healing

music: In prisons, with children in trouble or business

with poor reputations? Where negotiations are taking

place? What about on a war front? How serious could

people be about fighting, when everyone was singing

Silent Night?

Research has shown that people easily believe others in

a distant country are enemies - if they don’t know them.

In contrast, if they know the people, they don’t want

them to be hurt. What about sharing songs from coun-

tries to lesson international tension? If people like a

country’s music, it will be harder to demonize their peo-

ple - as the enemy. For example, racism against black

people declined in the end of the last century, when

young people loved black rap music.

The people of Estonia, a small Romanian country, had

been slaves for thousands of years. As slaves, they were

demoralized. When the abusive Czars were shot, the

Estonians saw their chance for freedom, but had no

courage to seize the opportunity. In a country of only a

million people, half of them sang nonstop for a week.

The energy created from singing - realigned their “will,”

determination and spirit. They rose up and boldly gained

their freedom.

Shortly after Hitler took control of Poland, Russia over-

powered the Romanian countries. Under Stalin’s rule

about a third of Estonians were randomly forced to work

in Siberia. Most died. This practice terrorized the people.

Later, Hitler as well as the Russians, enslaved Estonian

men and forced them to fight against each other, with

brothers killing brothers. Pain colored the Estonians with

fear, shame, and horror; once again, breaking the spirit

of the people.

After World War II, the Russian occupation created

harsh conditions, little food, no jobs, no places to live,

but plenty of fear. When the communist regime fell, the

Estonian people found themselves again beaten down

with no strength to gain their freedom.

Once again, the Estonian people came together with a

song-festival for five days, with a half of million people

attending. Afterwards, the Estonia people gained their

freedom, crediting their courage to the energy created

by singing. To this day the Estonian people hold a song-

festival every five years.

Sound and music is chock full of hidden energy. Music is

invisible, but its powers are greater than we ever

dreamed of.
