WE ARE MORE THAN INDIVIDUALS. WE ARE INTERCONNECTED
We are social creatures, designed to live and love amongst one another. We are meant to understand and appreciate each person, recognizing that there is a divine presence within every human life.
Every day we face challenges to this harmony and peace. While we cannot control the world and how it works, we can control how we direct our own energy towards friends, family, and others we meet on our path.
The effort we spend on one another is the effort that determines who we really are – and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has a wonderful take on how compassion and love help us to develop as human beings:
“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.
Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.
Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.
If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change” Thích Nhất Hạnh
VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY OF CLOTHING
Did you know if you wear linen or wool it can help you heal and give you energy?
In 2003, a Jewish Doctor named Heidi Yellen discovered through a study that the human body has a signature frequency of 100 mHz.
She also discovered cotton has a frequency of 100 mHz.
Wool and Linen are considered “super fabrics”, measuring at 5000 mHz each, but when worn together they cancel each other out.
The reason for this could be that the energy field of wool flows from left to right, while that of linen flows in the opposite direction, from right to left.
According to the study, since the human body has a signature frequency of 100, it showed that if the frequency of the fabric is lower than 100, it actually puts a strain on the body.
A diseased, nearly dead person has a frequency of about 15, and that is where polyester, rayon, bamboo, spandex, lycra, elastane and silk register. Non-organic cotton registers a signature frequency of about 70. Conventional cotton uses 16%-25% more pesticides and herbicides than any other crop. Some of these chemicals are among the most deadly in the world.
Wearing low energy fabric constantly can lower the immune system and can cause inflammation, illness and even emotional issues.
What to wear for preventive health and healing
1. Linen, a natural fabric made of flax, is at 5000 mHz.
Some benefits of linen:
Sleeping in or on linen can help a person fall asleep faster and have deeper sleep. Deep sleep is an essential stage of the sleep cycle that is necessary for overall health and well-being.
It can improve your mood.
Rapid healing from surgeries can occur and is why hospitals have used linen sheets in the past.
Linen is resistant to fungus and bacteria.
It can be a barrier to some diseases.
It also can regulate body temperature, warm when cold and cools when warm.
2. Organic cotton is 70 to 110 mHz and considered a healthy fabric. There are articles showing that cotton can have a much higher signature frequency, even up to 400 mHz.
Some benefits of organic cotton:
Kind to skin
Organic cotton is the best choice for people with sensitive skin, allergies, and chemical sensitivities.
Lasting softness
Organic cotton is softer and more durable; going through less processing, with no chemicals to weaken fibers. Your clothes feel better and last longer.
Farmers’s health
Organic cotton is better for farmers and their families. They deserve to live free of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals.
Safe dyes
Organic cotton is colored with safe, low-impact dyes, and free of all finishing chemicals like formaldehyde.
Fair trade
Our organic cotton farmers are paid a fair price. At a time when global cotton prices are plummeting and cotton farmers around the world are taking their own lives in desperation, fair trade is the only ethical solution. If a cotton product seems outrageously cheap, then you know someone else has paid the price.
Better for the Earth
Prevents green house gases
Organic cotton produces around 46% less CO2e compared to conventional cotton. By crafting our clothing from 100% organic cotton, last year alone indigenous kept 45,600 lbs of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Cleaner waterways
Runoff from conventional cotton fields is bad news. Choosing organic keeps deadly chemicals out of waterways and off the land.
Promotes biodiversity
Organic cotton uses less water and encourages biodiversity. Growers typically use more rainwater for irrigation and rely on beneficial insects to control unwanted pests.
All- natural
When you choose organic cotton instead of synthetic fibers, you ensure that no micro-plastics are entering waterways through your everyday laundering. Plus, organic cotton is completely biodegradable.
3. Wool is 5000 mHz a super fabric.
Sheep’s wool is a complex fibre, making it one of the most versatile and functional animal products. Humans have been utilizing wool for thousands of years because of the many benefits this remarkable fibre offers. When it comes to the benefits and qualities of wool, the list is long.
Some benefits of wool:
Environmentally Sustainable
Each year sheep grow a new fleece, making wool a renewable resource. Wool is also biodegradable, providing soil nutrients as it decomposes naturally. As a natural product, wool requires less processing than man-made fibers.
Regulates and Insulates
The crimp and curl we see in wool serves a purpose. The air pockets created are what gives wool the ability to act as a natural insulator. Wool’s ability to absorb moisture from the air and transport it away from the body leaves your skin dry and comfortable, just as it does on sheep. Remarkably, it also works in reverse keeping you cool as well.
Reduces Body Odor
Unlike synthetic fabrics where a sweat build up becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, wool’s breathability and antimicrobial qualities reduce the risk of your clothes taking on unpleasant body odor. With wool’s natural moisture absorbing properties and ability to regulate temperature, you remain comfortable in a wider range of conditions. That’s why wool is a great choice for outdoor and exercise gear.
So the bottom line is to be mindful and conscious of your clothing choices when shopping for your wardrobe. More energy supports a happy, healthy life, which we encourage to all of our members.

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST) ?
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system, comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to dis-ease, and is effective for a wide range of symptoms associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
. Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Colic
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Infantile Disorders
Learning Disabilities
Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Stress and Tension-Related Problems
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Surgical Dysfunction
WHAT IS SOMATO RESPIRATORY INTEGRATION (SRI)?
SRI is grounded in reorganizational healing. It’s a powerful series of exercises using breath, awareness, touch and movement developed to help you connect your body and mind, and adapt with life more efficiently and positively.
Through working with thousands of patients over many decades, NSA founder, Dr. Donald Epstein, noticed predictable patterns in the way people move and breathe when they experience both negative and positive life events and created “The Twelve Stages”.
The Twelve Stages
He categorized a dozen unique rhythms, which he identified as The Twelve Stages of Healing. Collectively they make up the set of exercises called Somato Respiratory Integration.
It’s much harder to free yourself from tension by concentrating on an area of stress. It may actually increase the defense status of the body
We always start from an area of peace or ease, bringing its energy and memory to the area that is blocked or stressed or painful
The first three stages are helpful for those who are suffering physically, emotionally or mentally. We become aware of the rhythms and polarities of our suffering and also discover we are somehow involved in a process and are partially responsible for our distress, recognizing that it is associated with being stuck in a particular perspective.
The next four stages are associated with ‘breaking through’ and making significant life changes to conquer suffering. New ways to create change are discovered and resolution achieved.
The last five stages represent a more awakened consciousness. Having dealt with and resolved suffering in the 1st 7 stages, the individual is left with an enlightened and deeper sense of wellbeing. They are ready to participate in life in a more profound and satisfying way.
THE BENEFITS OF SRI:
Reconnect you to your body and begin feeling great again.
Enhance your bodywork session
Stay more connected and present in your body
Feel more focused and energized
Be more creative
Transcend physical pain, stress, depression and tiredness
Make significant and positive life changes
Maintain a greater depth of wellbeing
“We wear our stress response in our bodies as ‘defense postures.’ The structural distortions and tension patterns are a testimony to, and physical anchor for, events that overwhelm our body-minds.”
– Dr. Donald Epstein, Founder & Developer,

WHAT IS REIKI ?
Reiki is a technique from Japan for processing stress, stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes a healing and can dissipates symptoms. It is administered by "laying on hands" in specific areas on the spine and body. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including the physical body, emotional body, the mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation, feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural, safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Some of the symptoms Reiki can assist with:
chronic pain
neurodegenerative disorders
fatigue syndromes
Cancer

GROUNDING THE HUMAN BODY AND THE HEALING BENEFITS OF EARTHING
HEALING BENEFITS OF GROUNDING
Scientific research over more than a decade indicates that your body can be protected and helped when you electrically reconnect to the Earth. That is, when you are grounded.
When grounded, the diurnal rhythm of the stress hormone, cortisol, begins to normalize. Cortisol is connected to your body’s stress response and helps control blood sugar levels, regulates metabolism, helps reduce inflammation, and assists with memory formulation.
In addition to a normalization of the cortisol rhythm, you can have improved circulation. When you are grounded, your circulation improves, aiding in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues in your body, including better blood flow to your face.
HOW TO RECONNECT TO THE EARTH
While the research on grounding for your health and well-being is relatively new, the practice is timeless. Past societies went barefoot or wore leather footwear made from hides that allowed the energy from the earth to rise up into their bodies. They were grounded.
Here’s the bottom line: You have lost your electrical roots, so to speak. You’re disconnected, and this disconnection may be a seriously overlooked cause of human pain and discomfort and the steeply rising incidence of chronic illness worldwide.
The good news is, you have the potential to reconnect. Weather and schedule permitting, go barefoot for a half-hour or so outside and see what a difference that makes on your pain or stress level. Sit, stand, or walk on soil, grass, sand, or concrete. These are all conductive surfaces from which your body can draw the earth’s energy. Wood, asphalt, and vinyl are not conductive.
Ideally, you want to sustain the Earthing experience incorporate this healing energy into your daily routine.
For many people, however, there isn’t time in their current busy schedule to go out barefoot. So, there are also indoor options. Invest in grounding products—which can be used while sleeping, relaxing, or working—such as conductive, Chairs, Bed pads, Floor and Chair mats.
Whatever route you take, get grounded and feel vibrant. Chopra Institute
