The Green Tree Wellness Group had another FREE Quantum Bio-Feedback health screening this past weekend.
Contact Aaron Rosenhaft 678-886-7060 rosenhaft@yahoo.com to register for next month.

That was my first experience with Quantum Bio-Feedback and I do recommend it for a pretty accurate analysis of the "stresses" in your body. I really liked Jerry, my Biofeedback Practitioner, who used to work at Progressive Medical Center.

Overall I am in good health but it was a good reminder that I need to eat slowly and that I need more essential fatty acids for my connective tissue. The most interesting part of this screening is that it gives you feedback not only on what is off balance physically but also emotionally. My emotions of being curious, a perfectionist (something I'm aware of and working on releasing), anxiety, fears and desires to be different were all confirmed.

Here's some more information from The Green Tree Wellness Group:

We will offer first time individuals in attendance a thirty minute health scan that detects stress rooted in a variety of areas such as:

*Environmental Toxins
*Nutrition
*Lifestyle
*Allergies
*Physical Injury
*Organic Disease

According to The American Medical Association...85% of all disease can be attributed to stress!

Our technology allows us to identify and rectify the stress behind many of the debilitating conditions common today including:

*Obesity
*Smoking/Addiction
*Headaches/Migraines
*Chronic Fatigue/Pain
*Fibromyalgia
*Anxiety/Depression
*Type II Diabetes
*Allergies
*Insomnia
*Pain

If stress is detected before it manifests itself as a serious health condition, lowering stress can prevent dis-ease. If stress has already manifested itself into a serious health condition, lowering stress can allow the body to fight dis-ease more effectively!

Wellness Professionals Are Welcome. This device supports every modality!
If you have any questions, please give them a call at 678-886-7060.

Quantum Biofeedback, with the EPFX System, is based on the law of attraction.

The EPFX System tests the client, at an energetic level, to interpret the thought patterns of the client. Negative thoughts, which reveal themselves within the body as stress, are what really cause physical problems.

Stress, within the client’s body, can be related to blood impurities, pathogens, nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, emotional problems and much more.

The EPFX System is designed as a stress reduction system - when the stress in the body is reduced then the body can begin to come back into balance.

I'm not sure why I just now started questioning the safety of the pill I've been popping every morning now for most of my adult life, but I believe it was a signal from my body to stop.

I don't believe any drug is safe, they are all liver toxic and take nutrients from our bodies. I have choosen to live a natural, holistic lifestyle my whole life while popping a pill that I thought was safe and even good for my health because my GYNO reassured me year after year.
Birth control pills fuel a $8.2 billion dollar industry, of course my doctor is going to tell me it's safe, big pharma assure the doctors and the public of it. It's just like any long-term drug; a profitable business that is distroying people's health and lives.

Once I started becoming conscious of this choice I've been making, I decided to give my body a break and see what happens. I stopped taking it a couple of days ago, and I'm sure it will be months to get the artifical hormones out, and I started doing research about the health risks. I've also paid attention to the signs in my life; in one week I've received three articles relating to the health risks of the pill and some deaths.

Here's the best summary I found from Dr Mercola's site written by Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.:

What's Wrong With the Pill?

"In simple terms, what's wrong with the pill (by the way birth control shots and patches are essentially the same thing) is it promotes continuous high levels of estrogen in a woman's body.

Science tells us this is dangerous.

A woman's natural cycle is composed of rising and falling levels of estrogen and progesterone. Birth control pills work by keeping estrogen at a sufficiently high level that they fool the body into thinking it is pregnant, therefore another pregnancy cannot occur.

They work by one or a combination of methods:

* Some pills prevent ovulation.
* Others prevent implantation of a fertilized egg in the endometrium or lining of the uterus.
* Still others thicken the mucus around the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate.

There is even a new brand of birth control pill on the market that boasts woman can safely have a period only four times a year or they can avoid having periods altogether for years at a time without a break from the estrogen blast.

We certainly don't know everything about estrogen or estrogen dominance, as it is called when estrogen levels remain high without being balanced by progesterone, but among the effects we do know are:

* Increased risk of breast cancer
* Increased risk of blood clotting, heart attack and stroke
* Migraines
* Gall bladder disease
* Increased blood pressure
* Weight gain
* Mood changes
* Nausea Irregular bleeding or spotting
* Benign liver tumors
* Breast tenderness

In addition, the use of antibiotics has been shown to decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.

What is not usually mentioned, or even known, is the metabolism of birth control pills by the liver requires extra amounts of the B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and zinc. That means if you're taking birth control pills for years at a time, as are most American women, you're creating nutrient deficiencies. Weight gain, fluid retention, mood changes, depression and even heart disease can all arise from nutrient imbalance.

For example, we now know high levels of an amino acid called homocysteine cause heart disease. And high homocysteine occurs when there is a deficiency of B vitamins and magnesium.

In addition to all this misery, the continuous use of birth control pills like the new no-period pill has not been sufficiently studied. Women who use these methods -- that may be you -- are the "test subjects," if you will, for an ongoing experiment. We have no idea what the long-term effects of daily hormones will do to fertility or other aspects of our health.

The Pill and Yeast Overgrowth

The insidious yeast, candida albicans, generally makes its home in the human digestive tract. But, in a modern society where common lifestyle choices for women include birth control pills, antibiotics, a highly refined bread and sugar diet, coupled with high stress levels, candida overgrowth can have wide-ranging effects.

When the right set of risk factors occur, toxins from yeast overgrowth and their byproducts can adversely affect the entire body, causing problems far beyond the common vaginal infection.

Symptoms ranging from migraines to infertility, endometriosis, psoriasis, PMS, depression, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders and many other seemingly unrelated health problems have been attributed to yeast overgrowth. And evidence-based results show that treating the yeast overgrowth often alleviates these symptoms.

These symptoms can be so widespread that it is difficult for patients and most doctors to comprehend that this is a complex of indicators that could be related to one underlying cause.

The use of birth control pills is a major risk factor for developing yeast overgrowth because it promotes estrogen dominance. Because birth control pills give a woman's hormonal system a continual stream of estrogen, an imbalance is created, Science has shown us that there is a close link between estrogen dominance and yeast overgrowth."

I'm looking forward to the detox.

8/8/8 at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

(7 pm Central, 5 pm Pacific)

Global Abundance Event

Sarah Biermann and Julia Griffin will present a focused and detailed meditation on our FREE conference call. Please join us for the 8 minutes meditation at 8 pm. Eastern Daylight Time.

HOW TO JOIN US FOR FREE TELESEMINAR: http://www.instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=3763776

ABUNDANCE MEDITATIONS

Here are two meditation exercises: the first exercise is for clearing limiting beliefs and opening to abundance, and, the following meditation is for visualizing abundance. These exercises can be practiced as a preparation for the teleconference, or you can join us by practicing the meditations at 8 pm if you cannot participate at the time of the event.

CLEARING AND OPENING TO ABUNDANCE

Take a deep breath and relax your body.

Take another breath and let go of all your thoughts.

Put your attention into your body, breath all the way to the tips of your toes.

Imagine and feel that your body is made of waves of light.

Put your attention into the right side of your brain.

Draw your breath in from the top of you head and the bottom of your feet. See it and feel it as waves of energized light.

Let this energy wave combine at your Solar Plexus and expand out like a bubble, bigger and bigger with each breath.

Imagine and feel yourself connected with everyone who is participating in this event, whether in body or not. We are totally supported in this process by the angels and ascended masters.

Imagine a screen, The Golden Mesh, moving through the whole planet, removing any belief systems, energy patterns, emotions and implants that interfere with our ability to manifest global abundance now. (You do not need to know specifically what these things are with your logical mind.) Keep breathing and feel the mesh move through the planet and you.

Imagine gathering up the ends of the Golden Mesh and tie them off. Take a big breath and toss all that stuff into the Un-create Wormhole (like a big wormhole in space). The Un-create Wormhole will remove any structure or patterning and return the energy to neutral.

CREATING ABUNDANCE

We are all connected in the Field of Life (Quantum Field or Life). Our strongest thoughts, feelings and sensations create a reality that becomes our “global experience”. This is basically an agreement that is created through the perception of group consciousness. It is decided by critical mass or 51% of consciousness. Our goal is to create a positive template so that critical mass reaches a higher level of consciousness.

Abundance Meditation Exercise:

A great wave of light from the center of Universe flows into your body and your consciousness. The beautiful, golden light illuminates every cell in your body. Abundance and prosperity flows into every cell of your body, as you experience this wave of prosperity as love, light and joy.

You have everything that you need and more. You know that you will always be taken care of. You are safe. All of your bills are easily paid. Your savings are rapidly increasing. It is easy to visualize money pouring into your life. You feel it and sense it. It is NOW. Your friends, family and everyone around you are also living in abundance and prosperity.

Each time that you focus on this thought, feeling or sensation, your prosperity grows and flows out into our nation and the world. You feel the joy and stability of our economy and the world economy – as a network of light and prosperity. SO BE IT!

UPCOMING EVENTS WITH:

Sarah Biermann www.limitless-one.com

Before the Global Abundance Event I will be hosting a one-hour teleseminar on Mastery, Manifestation and Abundance. Clear old limiting patterns and get your "Manifesting Mojo" moving!

Music can be used as a tool for focusing and fusing our minds, our bodies and our spirits, making it a perfect medium to aid in healing.
I'm loving Krishna Das Live on Earth (For a Limited Time Only on iTunes).

The following is an excerpt from 'Pilgrim of the Heart' audio series by Krishna Das:

"The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that's deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but it's not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. It's just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing."

Sing, Dance, Breathe, Love

YES! Oh yeah, that's what I needed, a long silent hike with Mother Nature and my Spirit Dog, Hudson, to get back my focus, clarity, joy, fun, energy and abundance. It was an incredibly successful weekend of CLARITY.

Sweetwater Creek State Park is only 15 min West of Atlanta on I-20 and when you are there it feels like you are in the North GA mountains (without the cool temperature). It is amazingly beautiful, you can forget where you are at times.

Sweetwater Creek State Conservation Park, Lithia Springs, GA 30122 (770) 732-5871
