id you know you were born with your very own natural blue print for a healthier body? It is possible for you to take back your health naturally. Yes, even in a society filled with disease. BILLIE ODOR, 18 years as a Colon Hydro Therapist and your Health Navigator, the owner of Inner Healings, will be holding classes the 2nd Monday of each month. 7PM to 9 PM. Seating is limited to 12 – 15 adults. This class is FREE and open to the public. Location: 2130 West Brandon Blvd. (Hwy 60), Suite 206, Brandon, FL 33511 (813) 657-6198
Some of the topics discussed are as follows: · Every inch really does counts. What does your waistline tell you about yourself? Learn how to figure your healthiest waistline measurement for you. This is based on your height. · An ounce is ounce and it counts. Come learn how to figure the maximum amount of grams of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates you are to eat in a day. This is based on your weight. · I eat very little throughout the day. I eat plenty of fiber. I even take extra fiber. Why am I always constipated? What does constipation have to do with “Intestinal Toxemia”? How often and how much should I poop per day? · What is the connection between dehydration and Alzheimer’s? How does dehydration affect every organ in the body? Did you know Alzheimer’s is not a disease that attacks you? · Why do I have all these allergies? What is “Leaky Gut Syndrome”? What is the Gluten Intolerance Connection? There are four foods to eliminate immediately. · Why are enzymes so important? What are phytonutrients?

· Why would blending fruits and vegetables be more nutritional for you than juicing? · Which one vegetable is the most important you will ever eat? Come learn how to prepare it. Learn how to make the most powerful alkaline tea and relieve indigestion as you drink it. · Are you having trouble controlling your sugar cravings? Are you a carboholic? You may need to add this one very important mineral to your diet. This mineral triggers Phase 2 digestion. · Why is the whole egg the most important breakfast food you will ever eat? Cholesterol in itself is not the problem. The problem could be what you are putting the butter on, not the butter. Is it possible this could be an enzyme deficiency instead of a cholesterol problem? Each month this class will vary, depending on who is in the class and the questions asked. Come learn how to re-discover your natural blue print. Becoming healthier can be easier and more fun than you might think. I promise, you will view your internal self differently. 09/2010 Billie Odor, LMT/CT, mm10840/ma12768 www.innerhealingsandassociates.com

A C02 laser performs skin resurfacing procedures that eliminate pronounced lines, deep wrinkles. sun/age spots and acne scarring. By targeting deeper layers in the skin, we force stimulation of collagen and healthy skin regeneration. The results can effedively erase years of damage from sun, pollution and free radicals. The latest technological advancement in the field of laser resurfacing is the use of light beams that pulsate or are scattered at a very high rate, thereby minimizing heat damage that the skin might otherwise be exposed to. It also allows a more powerful C02 laser to be utilized for deeper tissue removal. This new technology provides some of the most dramatic, age-defying results possible.

Help prevent hearing loss with vitamin A
I
f you want to make sure you don't lose your keen sense of hearing, make sure you get enough vitamin A in your diet. Some cases of hearing loss may be linked to a vitamin-A deficiency. Studies show that a lack of vitamin A in the diet first increases the ear's sensitivity to sound. In other words, your hearing is actually more sensitive during the first stages of deficiency.
However, an increased sensitivity to noise increases the chances of noise-induced hearing loss. The very sensitive ear can be damaged more easily and quickly than a normal ear. So the vitamin-A deficiency does not actually cause hearing loss. It simply makes the ear more sensitive to sound which increases the chances of hearing loss due to noise damage. If you suspect you may have a problem with your

Go fishing for vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in many sources. Cod liver oil is loaded with vitamin A, so much, in fact, that it can be toxic if you take too much. After cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, tuna and other fish also contain vitamin A. Fish also contains vitamin D. Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss and may help strengthen the bones in the ear's hearing mechanism, which can help keep your hearing sharp as you age. Other good sources of vitamin A are butter; egg yolks; cod liver oil; liver; yellow vegetables; and green, leafy vegetables. Some fruits are also good sources of vitamin A including prunes, pineapples, oranges, limes and cantaloupes.

eNewLife Wellness is proud to announce that they have two new locations, 5701 N Florida Ave and 4224 N Tampania Ave.
The detoxification, evaluation, and manual therapy services will join psychotherapist and yoga instructor, Gwen Hanner, at her facility. Practitioners Anthony Gray and Brandi Stewart will continue to promote health and lifestyles changes in the community. The colon hydrotherapy services , which ReNewLife Wellness was founded upon, will bring traditional and complementary approaches together to serve the community. Suzanne Gray, a closed system colon hydrotherapist has been working with gastroenterologist, Dr. R.D. Shepard for 3 years. Dr. Shepard has been interested in providing new approaches to offer his patients so they feel better in prepping procedures for colonoscopies. Colon hydrotherapy is used for digestive problems (in the state of Florida) and as a prep for colonoscopies.

hearing, even if your ears seem supersensitive, talk to your doctor immediately. He can help you determine whether you need more vitamin A in your diet.
A study was conducted in 2006 at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, using the Dotolo Approach on a closed system. Patients found colon hydrotherapy for a prep was easy and accepted over the liquid prep by 96%. The doctors rated the quality of cleansing the colon by 97%. Today, the Dotolo Closed System is the only piece of equipment used in a study by gastroenterologists. Dr Shepard realizes that not all approaches are applicable for everyone. Therefore, he allows his patients to
choose either the traditional liquid prep or the colon hydrotherapy. Having direct experience, he prefers the colon hydrotherapy. Through his practice he notices that the patients choosing colon hydrotherapy are more hydrated, with no loss of electrolytes,no nausea, less imbalance of the good bacteria ( probiotics), higher comfort level, a cleaner prep procedure, and a quicker recovery time. Currently, Suzanne has been doing colon therapy both at her Mac Dill Ave location and Dr Shepard’s office. However, in November, Suzanne will be concentrating her colon hydrotherapy in Dr Shepard’s office where she will have the opportunity to provide her services to Dr Shepard and his associate, Dr D.R Heiman patients. Of course , she will continue seeing her clients at the new location! Collectively, Dr Shepard and Suzanne Gray have 45 years of experience dedicated to gastro - intestinal wellness. They offer an approach of natural nutracueticals and philosophies of traditional and complementary medicine for many digestives disorders such as diaherria, constipation, colitis, IBS,crohn’s disease and more. By using colon hydrotherapy as an adjunct to traditional approaches to the digestive problems, colon care, and prep for surgical procedures our patients know they are getting total care. Suzanne can be reached at 813-871-3200. For more information, please go to our website www.renewlifewellness.com. www.tampabaywellness.com
HELP WISHES COME TRUE THROUGH THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION® SEASON OF WISHES® CAMPAIGN
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 18 – The holiday season is approaching and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Northern Florida, Suncoast Region, is working harder than ever to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. For this upcoming holiday season Make-A-Wish Foundation partners with the 2010 holiday campaign, Season of Wishes®, a campaign of awareness and inspiration. The campaign will take place between November and December 2010. Make-A-Wish relies on the support of businesses and individual donors to help raise money to support the mission of granting wishes. The purpose of this holiday campaign is to share with the community just how much a wish means to a child and inspire the Tampa Bay area to help fund a wish this Holiday Season. This year’s goal is to raise $60,000 to grant nearly nine more wishes of children in the Suncoast Regions of Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk and Pinellas Counties.
www.tampabaywellness.com
The Season of Wishes® campaign hopes to enlist the involvement from local chapters nationwide to maximize their market for holiday events and programs by reaching out to media outlets and supporters through this end of the year seasonal campaign. On the national level, the campaign plans to use this theme to brand its marketing and fundraising activities during the holiday season. For the second consecutive year Macy’s will continue their support for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. As part of their participation, Macy’s will become a corporate sponsor of the Season of Wishes ® campaign. Anyone can join the Make-A-Wish Foundation in celebrating the spirit of holiday giving. Whether by making a donation to the campaign, sending festive Make-A-Wish holiday e-cards, donating a holiday gift or shopping special holiday-themed products that benefit the Foundation, it helps to bring joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions throughout the year. Discover the many ways to share the power of a wish® with family and friends during the Season of Wishes® at www.wish.org; www. wishcentral.org or call 813-288-2600.. l

Why Pleasure and Health Are Related Just as any piece of machinery works better when it’s properly lubricated, your organs (and the rest of your body) work better when you’re thinking thoughts and feeling emotions that bring you pleasure or when you’re pursuing enjoyable activities. That’s true in several ways. First of all, experiencing pleasure improves blood flow. Healthy blood flow is important because the bloodstream brings nutrients to all of your body’s cells and carries away the cells’ waste products. It’s like stocking the fridge and emptying the garbage at the same time. All of this happens by virtue of a gas called nitric oxide. When you’re experiencing pleasure or feeling calm, vibrant, and healthy, nitric oxide is released in little puffs mostly from the lining of your blood vessels. Because it’s a gas, it diffuses rapidly in all directions—right through cell walls. It’s equivalent to e-mail blasts occurring almost instantly all over your body. Not only does this result in increased circulation, but nitric oxide also turns on the production of special chemicals in your body called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters carry myriad messages between the brain and nervous system, helping your body work and feel better. One of the neurotransmitters that pleasure increases is called beta-endorphin, which www.tampabaywellness.com
acts sort of like morphine—it dulls pain and creates feelings of euphoria. This not only improves your mood, but it also helps you deal more effectively with the stresses of life. Another neurotransmitter that pleasure boosts is called prolactin (which is also known as the hormone of bonding). Prolactin is released when you nurse a child, have an orgasm, or even get together with good friends. It makes you feel bonded to the person (or people) you’re interacting with at the time. Prolactin supports loving feelings between mothers and their infants, women and their mates, and even between friends. Speaking of orgasm and sex, perhaps the most obvious proof that our bodies were designed for pleasure is the existence of the clitoris. This fleshy little budlike organ, which is connected to deeper erectile tissue in the pelvis, sits right above the vaginal opening, partially covered and protected by a hood of skin. Despite its small external size (it’s no bigger than a pencil eraser), it contains 8,000 nerve endings that increase sexual excitement and ultimately bring on orgasm. Although some people mistakenly assume that women urinate through this organ, thinking it does double duty like a man’s penis, this isn’t the case. Instead, women urinate from a tiny hole located between the clitoris and the vagina. The clitoris has nothing to do with urinating—or even with conception or reproduction. It’s actually the only organ in the human body whose sole purpose is pleasure. (Talk about being hardwired for good times!)

Let me explain what I mean by that. To be- It’s the same way with cultivating joy in gin with, you can’t experience orgasm when your life. If you really desire the rejuvenatyou’re tense and upset. And it’s not even ing magic of pleasure, you have to open up to it, trust it, and allow it to flood your being. The journey starts by simply noticing and enjoying the sensation of a gentle breeze on your skin!
"Pleasure enhances your health on many levels and in many ways."
Every time you feel pleasure in your clitoral area, you’re also flooding yourself in nitric oxide, which, as we’ve just seen, radically improves the health of your whole body. We’ll talk much more about the life-enhancing effects of nitric oxide in the next chapter, including how you can increase the levels of this miraculous molecule in your body. But for now, just know that this is yet another way that pleasure enhances your health on many levels and in many ways!
Because women often need time to become sexually aroused and climax, some feel like there’s a flaw in the system or that the design doesn’t work quite right. But exactly the opposite is true. What your body in its infinite wisdom is trying to tell you is that it’s okay to take your time! Your body was designed to take the slow route, not the fast-track shortcut. You deserve all the love and attention that it takes for you to get there. In fact, the key to experiencing more orgasmic pleasure is, ironically, learning to enjoy every stroke and sensation along the way without even thinking about the “goal” of orgasm. You reach your optimal peak of both pleasure and health not through the quick fix, but through a long-term, sustained attention to cultivating pleasure. This is as true in life as it is between the sheets.
Why We Push Pleasure Away

yourself that because of how hard you’re working or how much stress you’re under, you deserve this little treat. And because you really do feel better momentarily after you eat the doughnut or drink the wine, you convince yourself that it really does help. But what’s really happening when you indulge in overeating, smoking, drinking to get drunk, or taking drugs to get high (or even such practices as sadomasochistic sex) is that you’re numbing yourself out so that you don’t have to feel any of your unpleasant, or even downright painful, feelings. And the more you turn to those quick fixes, the more numb you become over time. That kind of “help” backfires in the long run because your body gets used to your moodaltering substances of choice. And then you need more in order to achieve the same effect. It becomes a vicious cycle—not the best route to optimal health! In fact, that’s how addiction and disease get started. Pursuing pleasure and allowing yourself to receive it in your day-to-day life, on the other hand, produces significantly better and more longlasting results.

So how do you invite joy and pleasure into your everyday life? By bathing your brain and body in a constant supply of nitric oxide! And there are many ways to do this that don’t involve drugs, alcohol, or sugar. These include anything that gives you sustainable pleasure and creates vibrant health in your body. In addition to following your bliss, the list includes exercise, meditation, and orgasm. (At the moment of orgasm, there’s a blast of life-giving nitric oxide— which also bumps up levels of all the other feel-good neurotransmitters.) Regularly engaging in any or all of these activities keeps your nitric oxide levels high. But the trick is the word regular. It’s like putting money in your retirement account: If you only make a deposit once in a while, it won’t really do much for you, but if you’re disciplined enough to make annual contributions, you’ll be surprised and pleased by how much your money has grown! So that’s the good news: Pleasure (including sex and specifically orgasm) isn’t just a good time. It’s part of the way your body resets its electromagnetic grid to maintain vibrant health and well-being. l

Discover NEW Natural Solutions to Chronic Pain!
f you suffer from pain, you are not alone. An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from persistent pain each year, according to the American Pain Foundation. The most popular form of pain relief that Western medicine has to offer is pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs. If you’ve spent a lot of time in pain, you know that these medications have unreliable results, and undesirable side effects. Fortunately there are natural, effective, side effect free approaches to pain relief.
stressor such as depression, anxiety, anger, etc, and chemical stressors such as pollution, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, food preservatives, heavy metal, food allergies, etc can not only lead to inflammation but it can also disrupt and enhance the “pain signal” being produced by the brain and nervous system. Unfortunately most patients are not aware of what stressors are contributing to their chronic pain and what type of disturbance it is causing in
The first step to understanding how natural medicine can treat pain is to understand that pain is not a localized event; it is a series of reactions derived from inflammation at the site of injury. The injured site sends a signal through the nervous system into the brain, where the message is received and processed. Once the brain receives and interprets this signal, only then do you feel pain. With this in mind, there are four levels that need to be addressed in order to relieve pain.
take control of your health with
Four levels of Chronic Pain: 1) Inflammation 2) Pain at the initial site of injury 3) Pain message traveling through the nervous system to the brain 4) Brains perception of the pain Four Natural Solutions to Chronic Pain: 1) Anti-inflammatory whole food diet 2) Autonomic Response Testing for stressors 3) Acupuncture 4) Herbal therapies Inflammation is a natural immune response to infection or injury; it can become exacerbated by factors like poor diet, stress, and exposure to environmental toxins. The amount of inflammation that occurs in your body can be affected by what you eat. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and high quality protein can significantly decrease inflammation. Foods that increase inflammation and enhance pain signals are starchy and sugary foods. Controlling inflammation and therefore pain is done best by avoiding all sweets and grain products including breads, pastas, cookies, cakes and sodas. It is also important to choose organic, whole foods closest to what you can find in nature. Remember this quote when shopping for natural foods, “If it grows on a plant eat it, if its made in a plant avoid it” –Dr. Chris Stress can also affect pain in many ways. Emotional 16 NOVEMBER 2010 • Tampa Bay Wellness
Don’t let pain control your life, natural alternative medicine. their body. In order to determine the affects of these stressors on your pain level, an advanced autonomic response testing technique developed in office at Healing Touch Oriental Medicine can be used to tap directly into the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system, “auto” meaning it works “automatically” without conscience control. In order determine what’s contributing to chronic pain on this unconscious level a series of tests are performed, which will tell the practitioner where the disturbance is, whether it’s on the emotional or chemical level, and what natural modality will best correct the imbalance. Acupuncture is a scientifically proven, powerful, effective pain treatment. In fact most medical doctors understand the efficacy and value of acupuncture, and refer patients to acupuncturists more than any other alternative practitioner. In 1997 the National Institute of Health (NIH) stated that, “clinical studies demonstrate that acupuncture causes multiple biological responses in body including alternations in secretions of neurotransmitters and hormones in the brain as well as changes in blood flow both centrally and peripherally.” Acupuncture works on all four levels of pain mentioned above. It increases secretion of the morphine-like natural painkillers, called endorphins and enkephalins and inhibits the secretion of harmful inflammatory chemicals. Locally, acupuncture increases blood flow and oxygen supply to an injured painful area in order to influence the body’s natural healing mechanism. Instead of bringing the rest of your health down in order to reduce pain (like conventional medications do) acupuncture raises the level of your whole body health. There are many different types of pain that people can experience, and acupuncture can be effective treatment for them all.
Anti-inflammatory herbs combined with acupuncture, autonomic response testing and an antiinflammatory diet is the key to managing chronic pain and inflammation. Herbs are among the oldest medicine; recently they have become increasingly popular as an alternative to pharmaceuticals. Herbs are plants derived from nature, and are not synthetic or artificial in anyway; they are also very safe, with little to no side effects when prescribed correctly by a Licensed Acupuncturist. Although not as fast acting as standard pain medication, certain herbs may significantly diminish your pain when used regularly. Pain is NEVER normal. It is always an indictor, or a “red flashing light” that something is wrong. Ignoring this “red flashing light” over time can have detrimental affects on your health. In fact, chronic pain is linked to high rates of heart disease, diabetes and cancer; it can also affect your mood, sleep and productivity at work. All four natural medicine approaches above, when used together will significantly decrease your pain level, and in some cases eliminate it permanently. Don’t let pain control your life, take control of your health with natural alternative medicine. l

Did you know? • One of the leading causes of obesity is food sensitivity? • 60-80% of the population is sensitive to one or more foods? • Food sensitivities are a primary cause of emotional problems? Are you constantly struggling on reaching or maintaining a healthy weight due to food cravings? Foods you are sensitive to are toxic to your system. If you crave or are addicted to a specific food, you are probably sensitive to it. Food sensitivities can cause many health ailments and some serious conditions such as lupus or autism. The toxic conditions most commonly associated with food sensitivities are skin rashes and hives, disrupted sleep, constipation, runny nose, itchy eyes and ears, bluish or black tint under the eyes, chronic cough, stiff neck, joint pain, bags under the eyes, sore throat, headache, bad breath, back ache, asthma and sinus congestion.

The top 8 foods responsible for 90% of food reactions are: 1. Milk & Dairy Products 2. Eggs 3. Sugar
If you have persistent health issues that don't seem to get better no matter what you do, you should consider having a thorough screening done even if you get a negative result on your self-test, or contact me to schedule a consultation.

Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® in the world. This supplement helps with inflammation, cholesterol, healthy circulation, and more. Another supplement that may not be as easily to absorb from food are: multi-minerals, preferably in powder form for better swallowing and absorbtion. Be sure to have enough selenium in your diet, one way is by eating 3-4 Brazil nuts; caution for the high fat content. Selenium has been known to have a strong preventive cancer factor. Studies have shown that people who have cancer generally have low levels of selenium.
6) Exercise and do yoga as often as pos-
sible, at least 6 times a week: consult with your heart doctor if you have heart conditions: •Stationary or ride bicycle: minimum of 35 minutes •Aerobic class: minimum or 35 minutes–1 hour •Yoga: 1 hour–1 hour 30

minutes, recommends to do at least 2 times/ week.•Walk: minimum of 35 minutes–1 hour, intense level: sweat must be present. Along with exercise, it is highly encouraged to go outdoors for fresh air and sunlight daily, for at least 15 minutes without sunscreen before 9am and after 5pm, for a safer absorption of natural Vitamin D.
7)
Rest enough 7½ to 8 hours daily. Sleep before 11:40pm.
Yoga Pose
Supta Baddhakonasana
8) Acupuncture: It helps restore your body and mind natural balance toward optimal health; provide instant pain and stress relief: increase the level of natural opiate reaction; extremely safe, gentle, natural, and holistic.
9) Chinese Herbal Formulas: Few acu-
puncturists have tremendous experience and success guiding patients and their family manage and overcome cancer, strictly with the emphasis of certain Chinese Herbal Formulas.
10) Share a smile; laugh and have a good sense of humor, daily!
The KEY here is “PREVENTION:” it is cost effective for you, your family, and the environment. And if you or, a loved one, is undergoing cancer and its accompanying stress and harsh treatments, stay focus and positive and be proactive toward your well being, by reading, researching for solid answers from trusted and EXPERIENCED sincere and competent health care providers. Take good care of yourself and follow some of the suggestions mentioned above. Do everything as natural as possible, for this will allow minimal or no harm to your mind and body. l

eclining bound Angle pose is a wonderful restorative yoga pose and I use it frequently in restorative yoga and hypnosis class at Jai Dee Yoga. I am a counselor who specializes in regulation of the emotions and stress in the body. I love this pose because it has so many wonderful benefits. Supta Baddahkonasna helps my students become aware of how tensions or pain in the body are calling for recognition and then with directed breathing this pose helps them to safely release, regulate and gain insight. For props, my students are given a sticky yoga mat, a soft cushion mat, 2 blankets, 2 pillows, a strap, and two bolsters. To get into sputa baddahkonasana lay a bolster lengthwise behind you. Underneath it prop the bolster up with another bolster so you have a slightly elevated bolster so you can lay your whole spine on top. If you do not have 2 bolsters, use folded blankets on top on the bolster to help elevate your back and neck. Place
your buttocks against the short end of the bolster, and place rolled blankets on either side of your knees. Bend your knees, join the soles of the feet together and draw your heels towards your body. Wrap the strap around your hips, buckle it loosely and pass it under both feet to stretch it over your ankles. The strap should not be too confining, and not too loose. It may not be necessary to use a strap if you have flexible hips. Place your elbows on the floor behind you and gently lower your back and head onto the bolster. Adjust yourself until you feel the bolster is comfortably supporting your back. Let your bent legs open and lay them on the rolled blankets for more support. Inner spiral and push your thighs toward your knees so your knees will descend easily. Stretch out your arms with the palms facing the ceiling, bend the elbows slightly and bring the shoulder blades together on the back and lower the shoulders. You may lay your arms on rolled blankets or pillows for even greater comfort. Breathe and open the heart, exhale tension or pain. Breathe into your hips and groin and exhale tightness. Breathe and expand the pelvic region, exhale, let go and relax. You may initially start with one minute and extend to 5 or 10 minutes with practice or with a skilled teacher who is helping you to direct the breath and relax the body and mind with each exhalation. l Gwen Hanner began Jai Dee Yoga and Wellness Studio as an adventure in adding more movement and healing modalities to her ongoing psychotherapy practice, and as tribute to the beauty and spiritual growth she has experienced in Thailand. Scientific studies continue to prove what Gwen has understood and respected for years–the healing power of mind-body therapies. She is excited to cultivate physical and mental wellness in the community through these powerful practices. Contact Gwen at 813-231-2311

hat used to be a simple answer has now become much more encompassing. Reiki is a Japanese healing art that was synthesized into being by Dr Mikao Usui in the late 1800's in Japan. Dr Usui was a devout Buddhist, who, in his intense desire to understand and work with methods of medicine and healing, developed Reiki. "Reiki" is a Japanese word for the concept: "Universal Life Energy". Reiki's initial stages can be learned by anyone regardless of their personal philosophy and/or spiritual belief system. Through the initiations of Reiki comes a "re-awakening", a re-opening of the stronger healing potential that lies within us all. In its simplicity, “Rei” is the energy coming down from heaven and “Ki” is the energy coming up from the earth. It joins and fuses within us, and becomes “Heaven and Earth,” joined within us. We have in our lower body, just below the navel, a place call the “Lower Dantian,” or lower essence. It is here that Reiki energy, indeed all energy, fuses together to create a “Force Field” of “Universal Life Force Energy.” We become the conduits for that stored energy. When Dr. Usui began Reiki teaching, there was only Usui Reiki. Now there is Usui, Mayan, Karuna, Shamballa, Atlantean, Crystal and many others. Each has its own properties, and its own power base, but all were thought to stem from Usui. It will always remain the foundation Reiki for most; however Atlantean and Shamballa Reiki preceded Usui.
What do you teach?
That was the next question. Here at the Sentient Temple, we teach all modalities of Reiki. Dr Dennis Alexander, Dr Fern Alexander and Dr Terri Dluhy are Reiki Masters of many of the above named forms, and have been blessed that Rev Maggie Batt has recently joined us an instructor adding
even more. We have certification in the most popular and powerful of the current Reiki modalities, and teach not only weekend courses but full college accredited courses that will award you college credits upon graduation. Usui is the basic Reiki. Karuna Reiki deals with emotional issues. Mayan Reiki connects you with the Earth and teaches you to bring into focus all sentient powers (capable of thought). Atlantean brings channeled energy into focus. Crystal Reiki uses the 22 NOVEMBER 2010 • Tampa Bay Wellness

tools of various minerals and their specific energies. Shamballa. OH BOY! This one is the bomb! It employs 340 plus symbols. It joins you with the Greatest Avatars there are in the Universe. Through you they channel the energy to do anything! Heal, manifest, transform your life, heal yourself, bring success into your life, bring to you all that you require to be the person you need to be and bring about and reveal your purpose in life. Shamballa is a gift from God. This powerful system sometimes called “Multidimensional Healing” was channeled to us from Ascended Master Saint Germain, March 16th 1996. Saint Germain is the Ascended Master associated with the 7th or violet ray. The violet ray represents the qualities of freedom, justice, mercy, forgiveness and transmutation. He has been assisting America for the past seventy years and is ushering America from the Age of Aquarius into a golden age. He brings the violet flame of transformation into the world to help individuals lay the foundation for a life of freedom and joy. He first appeared to Guy Ballard in the 1930's, and gave him the first teaching on the violet flame. Saint Germain has said, "The use of the violet consuming flame is more valuable to you and to all of mankind than all of the wealth, all the gold and all the jewels of this planet." Saint Germain incarnated on earth several times, and his embodiments include: ruler of a golden-age civilization 50,000 years ago, high priest on Atlantis 13,000 years ago, the prophet Samuel in the eleventh century B.C., Saint Joseph the first century A.D., Saint Alban late third or early forth century, teacher of Proclus 410-485, Merlin fifth or sixth century, Roger Bacon 1220-1292, Christopher Columbus 1451-1506, Francis Bacon 1561-1626, and Le Comte de Saint Germain eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Shamballa Multidimensional Healing is a complete system of energy used for healing and personal spiritual development. It is now available to all people of Earth. The Shamballa system is a revival of the ancient Atlantean healing arts brought forth by Ascended Master St. Germain through John Armitage. Master Germain used this same energy during his incarnation as a high priest in the Atlantean healing temples prior to the destruction of Atlantis. Shamballa Multidimensional Healing is a complete system that includes the original Atlantean Master Symbol and the Golden Flower of Life symbol.
www.tampabaywellness.com
The people of Atlantis had access to 22 symbols, but Master Germain, who is the current World Teacher, has stated that the vibration of the planet is now high enough that we may fully infuse the complete system of 352 symbols (energy frequencies) into our own structures in order to assist in the ascension of ourselves and Mother Earth. These symbols and multidimensional energies are infused directly into the initiate’s energy fields by Shamballa Master Teachers during what is known as attunements. After these initiations are completed, the initiate need only say Shamballa On!! and he or she will be connected directly to the energy of the Ascended and Galactic Masters; the Lords and Ladies of Shamballa. This is like plugging into corporate headquarters! By using this energy on yourself and others, you will expand your consciousness and experience its healing power. Shamballa is not only a system of healing, it is a spiritual development. Shamballa is not only for those who wish to become healing practitioners: it is also for people who want to heal themselves. The Shamballa Attunements make it possible for you to heal yourself both physically and spiritually. It is a very useful way to break addictions, habits and heal yourself on a mental and emotional basis. People who are suffering ill health and mental imbalances should have Shamballa Attunements. Self healing is made easy using the hand positions and symbols of Shamballa. Even babies can benefit from Shamballa Attunements. The Attunement begins the developing human on the “Path of Enlightenment.” The “Lords and Ladies of Shamballa” take you to a whole new level of “Awareness.” In the music of Mahatma. “SHAMBALLA ON!” Dr Rev Dennis Alexander, PhD, DMQ (China) is the founder of the Sentient Temple College of Alternative Medicine and the National College of Medical Qigong. He is the former Florida Director of the International Institute of Medical Qigong. Dennis received his Doctor of Medical Qigong (DMQ) from the International Institute of Medical Qigong in Palm Desert California and is also registered at the Overseas College of Medical Qigong, Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, China.

WHAT IS MEDICAL INTUITION? by Rev. Marcella Zinner. MMA, ChT.Th. M
G
enerally speaking, meical intuition is the utilization of a focused, intuitive (psychic) ability to feel, sense, or "intuitively see" the energetic and frequency information in and around the human body. The talent to use these intuitive skills can often be one of the psychic abilities one has been gifted with along with other psychic or intuitive skills. However, as psychic skills can be developed, medical intuition can also be studied and developed. It can be honed through persistent practice - much like any other intuitive skill.
Medical Intuitives work with the body’s intention to be healthy, and our energy field communicates these energy facts, even when the patient is verbally saying something completely different.
Medical intuitive practitioners often label the diseases they see by stating the symptoms. Those that are familiar with medical terminology may use the medical diagnosis. Many medical intuitives present information to the client in a way that is more holistic, and they often encourage the clients to be participants in their healing. When you turn your attention to your client, you can "read" Medical Intuition is an alternative medicine their energy and their well-being. This may practitioner who uses their intuition to at- come to you in symbols or feelings or actual tempt to find the cause(s) of a physical or words.
