The psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl said, “In between stimulus and response there is a space, in that space lies our power to choose our response, in our response lies our growth and our freedom.” In The Now Effect: How This Moment Can Change the Rest of Your Life (ATRIA BOOKS), leader in mindfulness psychology Dr. Elisha Goldstein asks: “What if an awareness of that space, that moment, could change the rest of your life?” The clarity you find in these spaces is called The Now Effect. Research shows that how we pay attention and what we pay attention to have a dramatic effect on how our brains grow. When we’re experiencing sensory overload during our overconnected every-day lives, we often operate on auto-pilot, allowing our brains to make choices for us. If we frequently have anxious thoughts, we strengthen connections in the brain that facilitate that type of thinking. If we intentionally focus on being present and more compassionate toward ourselves, we create brain architecture that supports that. Dr. Elisha Goldstein shows us how we can become aware of automatic thoughts, stop them, and choose to think in a different direction. Life is decided in these spaces, or “choice points,” when we can choose a response. Awareness of the spaces opens our minds to possibilities we may never have thought existed. To help readers take the mindfulness approach to connect to the present moment one step further, Dr. Elisha Goldstein offers practical techniques to make deep, permanent life changes along with video demonstrations accessible via Microsoft Tags throughout the book and at www.youtube.com/NowEffect. The e-book includes embedded videos. By using these techniques for accessing the Now Effect you will: • Change the way you think before you think to break free from subconscious beliefs and 8 NEWLIFE MARCH-APRIL 2012 old brain programming that doesn’t serve you. • Have access to more choice points in life, opening the doors to greater potential, opportunities, and possibilities. • Be more flexible in your decision making and responses to people and challenges. • Increase your emotional intelligence and relax more effectively in moments of distress. • Focus better at home and at work. • Open up to feeling more grateful, forgiving, loving, hopeful, empathic, and compassionate. • Tap into the wisdom that lies within you and makes your intuition more reliable. • Feel more connected to yourself and others. • Rewire a stronger and healthier brain. • Change your life by breaking free from habitual patterns of living that don’t serve you. The Code Unlocking the Ancient Power of Your Birthday by Johanna Paungger & Thomas Poppe (BEYOND WORDS/ATRIA BOOKS) For the first time the U.S, the bestselling, transformative book; The Code: Unlocking The Ancient Power Of Your Birthday is available in the United States. Written by bestselling authors Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe, this book offers a key for opening the lost treasures and talents hidden deep within us as revealed through our unique birthday. The Code unfolds from the rhythms of nature and is part of a much larger ancient family healing tradition that can bring us a deeper connection to ourselves, others and the world around us when utilized. According to coauthor Johanna Paungger, “In the early eighties people started asking me to pass on knowledge that I had grown up with since earliest childhood. When I started to write o n l y o n e t h i n g wa s important to me: If I can spark just one person’s interest, then this ancient knowledge will be kept alive; knowledge that had survived for centuries by word of mouth. The most ‘secret’ and esoteric education I received i s r e ve a l e d i n The Code. Today, through many confirmations of its validity and benefits reported from people around the globe, I’m convinced this knowledge will be of great value in our current times.” The Code represents a divination system never before revealed to an American audience,. This aspect of secret “Celtic” knowledge was passed down to Johanna from her grandfather and her family of Tyrolean farmers for many generations. This ancient knowledge was kept hidden for centuries as her family was aware of potential repercussions from the church. Johanna (along with her husband Thomas) are renowned for their knowledge of living in har-mony with the moon and for practicing and teaching ancient healing traditions us-ing herbs, color, movement, bodywork, nutrition, organic farming and more. The authors have sold more than 14 million books in the German language and millions more in twenty-four other languages. Going beyond simple numerology or astrology, The Code is based on each number in your birth date and reveals how it has its own special meaning and attributes that influence your abilities, personality, and relationships. By integrating the power of your birthday numbers with the corresponding colors, the Birthday wheel vividly shows you how to find balance and harmony , as well as, unearth your hidden talents, strengths and weaknesses. From choosing a career, raising children, navigating relationships, preventative health to overall keys to living a fulfilling, healthy life this unique book and healing system offers time-tested knowledge that has been in daily use for centuries and can empower many readers to effectively and easily navigate their lives. For more information and a free interactive, personal birthday Code reading please visit: www.birthdaycode.com. The Code is available through Powell’s Books, BN.com, Amazon.com and with retailers nationwide. For more information, call 908-637-6022.

High in fat and calories but packed with important health benefits, all kinds of nuts are sources of super disease-fighting nutrients. What’s in a nut that makes them so super? They contain antioxidants, protein, fiber, and mono-and polyunsaturated oils. Research has shown that eating 2.5 ounces of any kind of nuts daily has lowered LDL – the “lousy” cholesterol and cardiovascular risk can be reduced by up to 74% if nuts are only consumed several times a week. Worried about their high fat content? Relax. It increases one’s satiety, helps your meals to keep you filled a little longer and keeps you from snacking as often. A helpful guide is a handful of nuts – an appropriate portion to eat. And while you’re at it stick to raw nuts that have nothing on them. This allows the oils to stay the freshest and give you the most benefit. Keep a homemade nut jar mix on your office desk and kitchen counter. Become familiar with the varieties of nuts available. ALMONDS: High in fiber, a rich source of vitamin E, high in protein and rich in essential amino acids. PECANS: Like all the nuts, pecans are a good source of protein and unsaturated fats, and are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Easy to use in desserts, cereals, and breads they are also terrific in salads and main dishes, and as a snack. BRAZIL NUTS: Brazil nuts are a good source of many vitamins including thiamin, and E and the minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese and one of the richest sources of selenium. Buy small amount of Brazil nuts as they can turn rancid quickly due to their high polyunsaturated fat content. CASHEWS: It is one of the easiest nuts to make into nut milk. Use for snacking, and crunch in salads and desserts. MACADAMIAS: Macademia’s have the highest amount of beneficial monounsaturated fats of any nut, as well as all the other valuable attributes that nuts have. WALNUTS: Raw walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), Omgea-3 fatty acids By Lissa De Angelis, M.S., C.C.P. 1. Cook the pasta a c c o r d i n g t o p a ck a g e directions. 2.

MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 11 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 12 NEWLIFE 3/7/12 2:12 PM MARCH-APRIL 2012 Page 12 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM Page 13 The Mysticism of Our Times M By Thomas Hübl ODERN MYSTICISM always carries Timeless Wisdom within but it also acknowledges that outer life develops. God (or sacred space / mystic depth dimension) needs a place again in society. If we give this a priority, everything else will follow: an economy, science, political program and education that are aligned with it. What does a modern path beyond traditional God images look like and which path unites the power of the traditions with the evolution of life? In the postmodern market place we are faced with complex global topics of rapid development. We need new prospects in order to creatively deal with such demands. As it is only when we are in touch with life on more profound levels that we will receive answers to generic questions. THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE EVERY MOMENT Mysticism is the radical path of awakening through all times and in all market places. That is why we call it Timeless Wisdom: it is independent of the face of time. Thousands of years of knowledge can be found in the wisdom traditions. We see an inner core of principles and awakening, and an outer casing of culture that forms around it. In all world religions like Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism there is an inner practice of Timeless Wisdom. When we understand it more deeply we will see that there are similar principles everywhere, that it contains a deep consciousness aspect that is always present. These principles of development of souls and enlightenment can be found in every tradition. MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 13 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM Page 14 MYSTICISM AS FULL-TIME JOB R ECOGNIZING the depth dimension of reality is the great endeavor of all times. But only those who place this alignment in the center of their lives can achieve this. When life shapes itself from this basis, we will lead an awakened life. The mystic practice is a practice of mindfulness, presence, compassion, love and clarity. We begin to practice in every life situation: walking on the street, in relationship, at work, when sitting down and taking time to just listen to the deeper aspect of ourselves. Most people need a regular practice of meditation or praying, and of course a practice of mindfulness in everyday life, in order to achieve a deeper inner alignment to God / the Light within us. If we strengthen this daily, this part will be more and more present in our reality. For some people this happens very spontaneously. For other people it is a steady process of growth throughout the years. A competent teacher, a practice, a community of people help us to naturally place God, the Essence, Timeless Wisdom in the center of our life. UNDERSTANDING REALITY M YSTICS deepen this inner science in such a way, that they learn to understand the reality more deeply from looking within. A by-product of this are skills like seeing people more deeply, anticipating situations, acting in a way that originates in wisdom and spontaneity as opposed to conditioned, learned patterns. All this means more intuition, insight, and freedom. Mysticism appears ‚mysterious’ because we see what we usually do not perceive. The mystic dimension is just the dimension in which we happen without knowing that we happen in it. That is why it is mysterious and draws skills forward that often appear wonderful to us. 14 NEWLIFE MARCH-APRIL 2012 BELIEVING IN GOD? NO, KNOWING! M YSTICISM is only peripherally connected to faith. When we speak of mysticism we speak of entrusting ourselves to practice and engaging in an experiment of consciousness. And this experiment will bring us experiences. The person who experiences does not need to believe in anything. Mysticism is beyond “I believe in God“ or “I don’t“. The idea is to devote ourselves to a practice that aligns us in such a way that we see the effects in our reality and that these effects cannot be denied. Thus there will be a point in time at which we simply know deep within. Not only rationally but in our hearts. Contemporary mysticism no longer holds to traditional God images but opens an evolutionary step. It reaches rational and scientifically educated people in a way that they do not experience as regression but as progress. This mysticism also has answers to today’s questions in economics, technology, global problems etc. and consciously connects. STUMBLING STONES IN THE FLOW OF LIFE: HABITS T HE true mystics of all times were and are radical people. Mysticism challenges habits, so that we stay in the flow of evolution. Habits are opposed to the evolutionary flow: we form them, identify with them and would love to anchor them in this way. But life is permanent movement and puts up pressure in order to develop us further. If we don’t do this, tensions, symptoms and also illnesses occur. If we evolve further expansion happens and we are in flow. It is essential to learn this alignment in order to be able to transform into a sustainable global society. Thomas Hubl is a trans-lineage integral spiritual teacher. He teaches contemporary mysticism and the fusion of meditation and sciences. He will be speaking at the NewLife Expo in New York City, March 23-25. NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM Page 15 QB A uantum iology BY DR. BRIAN CLEMENT FTER FOUR DECADES at Hippocrates Health Institute, working on the front lines of disease reversal and life prolonging with pure organic and plant-based methods, a vivid pattern of cause and effect has emerged. There is a continual and perfect communication from cell to cell and from gathering of cells (organs and / or skeletal) to gathering of cells. This rhythmic and energetic process is strong, yet fragile. This process can be weakened via poor nutrition, dehydration and / or polluted hydration, lack of oxygen, intake of heavy metals or chemicals or renegade electromagnetic fields such as cell phones, Wi-Fi, etc. All abnormalities that have been labeled as diseases stem from the negative energies that are rooted in the poor lifestyle choices and unsustainable environment we have created on planet earth today. Our core vulnerability stems from the reduction of bio-frequency that occurs in the cell, which heightens its fragility to make it ineffective in communication and contribution. When these disturbances are critical, they can even cause a cell to mutate. When you ingest ionized, rich, raw plant-based foods, it provides foundational energy. You then have to consider avoiding negative energy fields or at least protecting yourself from them with electromagnetic field interrupting devices or tools. What is more difficult to avoid and personally restrain from is the negative energy that we absorb or spew from discontented emotional states. With a discombobulated sense of self, most people are sponges rather than water hoses, stealing energy from all other forms of life. All bad effects of these encounters can be minimized if you maintain a strong electrical current in your cells, manifesting a powerful anatomy and persona. Just as an electric fence rejects the unwant- ed invaders of a terrain, an electrically charged person can ward off disease and fallibility of thought. Picture all that you see, understand, touch, and feel as little dots of electricity. The shapes, forms, and lives are created by energy. This energy comes in the form of these electric dots. As when a light bulb fades, susceptibility to disorder rises. In the case of steel, it is oxygen that erodes it into rust. In the case of humans, it is negative thought and sustenance as well as environmental toxins. In the not-so-distant future, there is no doubt that sound, light and energy will be harnessed in medical technology at such a level, it will penetrate your electric body and eradicate the core culprit in the cause of physical disease. Let’s tune ourselves with proper nutrients, positive thoughts, rewarding relationships, healthy living and work environments, and fulfilling activities. When we listen to a fine Mozart concerto, witness the crashing waves or gaze up at the endless stars, harmony will once again prevail. Commit yourself to the invisible cells reconstruction and you will be assured a future of conscious well-being and abounding joy. Join Dr. Brian Clement at the NEWLIFE Expo in New York City, March 23-25. He will giving a lecture on Saturday, March 24 & Sunday, March 25 about Quantum Biology, explaining the future of biology and how it is based upon electrical frequency more than the matter based principals currently employed. He will also host a workshop Saturday, ‘Raw Food, Cancer and the Possibility of Miracles. To learn more about Hippocrates Health Institute.

MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 15 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/19/12 4:46 PM Page 16 awakening your genuine consciousness By Sirve Y ou are about to enter into the hidden part of deep knowledge of Sacred Rituals known as Tibetan Rites. Millions of people worldwide have been benefiting decades from the amazing rejuvenating results from 5 Tibetan Rites. The mystical effects of these Tibetan techniques were first revealed in the 1930’s when it was detailed in Peter Kelder’s book “Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth.” Now there are an exciting 6 additional esoteric Rites available to the public for the first time from the same source, the Lamasery that existed in Tibet. The Monastery where many people arrived old and become young. This unique material was given by Master Goswami Sunyata Saraswati, disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda who gave him the “transmission” of grace. He is The Tantric Kriya Yoga lineage Holder and the author of the book “ Jewel in The Lotus”. The 11 Rites materials belonged originally to the Gnostic Brothers whose leader was Samael Aun Weor. a magnificent genuine human being with awakened consciousness. His lifework had an infinite effect on mankind. Samael Aun Weor was born in Colombia, developed his public activities in Mexico until 1977. After acquiring the Philosopher’s Stone, he went on to work in an occult manner with his immortal physical body, as it corresponds to everyone who has accomplished the Great Work in Himself. As a legitimate Avatar of the Aquarian Age and Grand Master of Occult Wisdom, he has unveiled the Esoteric Arcanes and Mysteries in more than 60 works on Psychology, Anthropology, Alchemy, Practical Magic, Kundalini Yoga, Kabbalah, etc., which are always oriented toward the Radical and Definite Transformation of the Human Being. 16 NEWLIFE MARCH-APRIL 2012 An interesting fact is also that in his autobiographical account, “The Three Mountains”, Samael Aun Weor stated that because he was born with an awakened consciousness, he was able to analyze the previous lives even before he mastered how to walk! In one of His previous lives he was a Tibetan Lama and practiced these Rites of Rejuvenation in that reincarnation in the Lamasery. His legacy can therefore teach us the real knowledge and secrets of the Rites with authority. He used to say that “Time does not exist, time is an invention of the egotistical mind. Age does not exist. It is a mere crutch that people lean heavily on. What does exist is cellular mechanics. By practicing the Rites, new cells are born to replace the old cells that die due to erroneous processes of assimilation, etc. The rate of such replacements decreases because of us wasting our energies foolishly and so, so-called old age arrives at our doorsteps.” The 11 Tibetan Rites teaches the methods and techniques that can put us on the path to complete regeneration. It gives us the answers to many questions by allowing us to investigate through direct experience. The Rites take us on a magical life journey with real meaningfulness and with the highest joy. They are so powerful that they can transform your body to its perfect condition. Through practice there is a key to access to the universal mind. If you focus only on the physical aspect while performing these sacred rites it will be just another physical workout leading toward oxidation and aging. By using the Lama’s secret approach of synthesizing your spirit, mind, emotions, aura field and body you begin to vibrate on a level where you can reach your maximum potential. This is something which is not explained in any of the previous writings and will be explored more in depth as I explain one of the rites. Add light and vibrational pulse when you practice each Rite; Become lighter by focusing your being, intention, thoughts, words and actions toward lifting your vibration. This starts to transform and change your DNA, cells, organs, endocrine systems and the speed of your chakras so that they can act with their highest potency. Every cell in your body has consciousness and responds to light. The goal in practicing the Tibetan Rites is to purify the astral substance, clear and raise the vibration of the etheric and physical bodies and incarnate more of the light body and get its structures and energy centers balanced and functioning properly. Through this, the spirit is able to interact highly with your physical matter. The first Rite of all The Tibetan Rites is Spinning, which raises and enhances all frequencies in your entire being and expands your aura field. NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 Rite # 1 – SPINNING 3/19/12 4:47 PM Stand erect with arms outstretched horizontal to the floor, palms facing down. Your arms should be in line with your shoulders. Spin around clockwise until you become slightly dizzy. Gradually increase number of spins from 1 spin to 21 spins. Breathing: Inhale and exhale deeply as you do the spins. The esoteric benefit: What happens in your physical body: • All your blood rushes to the peripheral areas of the body and when you stop, your blood rushes back into the center. This high speed flow gives all of your organs an extreme wake-up call. • Your heart starts to beat faster and the enhanced blood flow cleanses the blood vessels. Page 17 • Your metabolism gets its peak performance.. • Your energy channels (nadis) open. • Water molecules in every cell in your body begin vibrating on a greater level, including the DNA. • Negative vibrations lose hold and are no longer part of your being and you are able to carry a higher vibrational light. While performing the rites it is very important to visualize the brightest and most intense white light (like a laser beam) emanating out from your whole being all the time By practicing The Tibetan Rites and uplifting your vibration, the more expansive your consciousness will become and you will view life as never before---You will step into the journey of miracles in each moment. Sirve, a Reiki Master and an anti-aging expert, has been teaching the esoteric approach for these rites for eleven years throughout the world.

MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 17 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM Page 18 HOW TO AVOID Yoga Injuries By Shelley Stendig T he positive effects of yoga are widely accepted. Modern science can, in fact, quantify these benefits, such as increased flexibility, improved strength, better posture, positive mood, reduced stress levels, and –the widely desired – weight loss. Recently, however, there has been an increase in the dialogue about the other side of the coin: injuries that may be incurred while practicing yoga. But before you allow yourself to be scared away and miss out on all the benefits, here are some ways to determine your personal level of risk before stepping onto the mat. GAIN PERSPECTIVE Practicing the asana (posture) aspect of yoga is a physical activity that requires the same level of awareness regarding the body’s capability as when engaging in any other type of athletic endeavor, such as running or soccer. Just as you should not attempt a marathon when first starting to run, pushing the body into the full, or advanced stages of a pose can be detrimental. To be safe, adhere to your body’s natural limits and avoid overstretching, which means moving past the point of first resistance when performing a pose. If you heed your body’s signals, your risk factor for injury is far less than many regular daily activities such as driving a car! BE EVALUATED BY A PROFESSIONAL BODY WORKER The increasingly stationary lifestyle brought on by desk jobs, long commuting hours and pastime channel/internet surfing has significantly decreased the flexibility of our hips, hamstrings, knees and spine. Therefore, just as it is common to do an evaluation session with a trainer at the gym before building a workout routine, if you’re intent on developing or enhancing your yoga practice let a body worker and an experienced yoga therapist evaluate your body’s capabilities. Shmuel Tatz, a New York City physical therapist who specializes in treating yoga practitioners, says, “In yoga practice we are trying to go to the maximum of our personal mobility. To help evaluate and increase a person’s ability to do so, I first check for limitation in the passive movement of the joints (the joint’s natural stopping point), then in the accessory movement (bending the joint slightly past it’s natural stopping point, to its maximum potential), and lastly the in-joint movement (moving the joint side to side to assess lateral range). Afterwards, I help restore proper range, 18 NEWLIFE MARCH-APRIL 2012 as well as correct any misalignment in the body, by manually manipulating the ligaments, tendons, and muscles. “If a patient is experiencing pain or discomfort when doing a particular pose, I need to go in and assess what is happening on a deeper level in the body to properly address the issue. For example, a common yoga-related injury is pain in the psoas muscle that attaches to the hamstring. This stems from the tendon of the hamstring being overworked from postures like seated forward fold, or intense side stretch pose that cause inflammation. To treat this, I need to work manually by stabilizing the sacroiliac joint that connects the sacrum and ileum in the lower back, while rotating the hip gently through a full 360∞ rotation. After this, I supplement with modalities such as laser, ultrasound, magnetic or vibrational therapy, to cure the inflammation. “It is important to recognize the strains yoga can put on our bodies – even if we are reaping a lot of benefit in other areas – and address issues that come up before they escalate into chronic, more severe problems.” KNOW YOUR HEALTH HISTORY Everyone who attempts yoga brings to the mat with them their specific genetic inheritance and health history. Therefore, Dr. Tatz recommends that if you suffer from any conditions such as glaucoma, osteoporosis, or herniated disks in the spine, avoid postures that put great strain on the muscular and vascular structure, particularly headstand, shoulder stand, and plow. It is a good idea to, again, consult a professional health provider if you suffer from, or are predisposed to, health conditions. A SMILE CAN HELP CLARIFY YOUR BOUNDARIES Practicing honest yoga means being fully attuned to and respectful of your body and its natural limits. As the definition of Asana states: “sthira-sukham-asanam” – steady and comfortable – meaning, you should be able to hold the final pose with a genuine smile. If you have developed an injury, or exacerbated a pre-existing condition, and have received proper treatment, yoga can teach you the patience and understanding that will allow you to “hear” your boundaries clearly and avoid further damage. Shelley Stendig has traveled to Africa twice to volunteer with various aid and health related organizations. More recently, she has shifted her focus towards individual health care. NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM Page 19 CHAKR AS 7 psychic centers of consciousness the I T IS SAID that the main purpose of Pranayama (conscious control of the Prana or Vital Life Force, the breathing exercises) as a Sadhana or spiritual practice is to awaken the Divine Cosmic Power. This power, known as Kundalini, is conceived of as a sleeping coiled serpent that lies dormant at the base of the spine, the Muladhara, Basal or First Chakra region. Through steady application of specific yogic techniques, this power is made to travel up the spine, penetrating all the Major Chakras in its path, eventually reaching the highest Chakra – B y Y o g i S r i D h a r m a M i t t r a MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 19 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM the Sahasrara just above the physical skull, where it unites with the Supreme Soul. As soon as the Major Chakras are pierced by Kundalini, the ordinary consciousness is raised to a specific state of consciousness. Until one’s consciousness evolves to the point of the Vishuddha or Fifth Chakra opening and activating, the consciousness always moves between Chakras as a result of one’s deeds from the past and what one is currently passing through. Once one’s consciousness arrives at the Fifth Chakra, it never descends again. While there is a relationship between the Glandular System and the Major Chakras, the Chakras are truly part of the Subtle or Psychic Anatomy. Only those blessed with psychic powers or abilities can actually see them, not even the most powerful electron microscope can actively engaging the powers of the imagination to grasp what they truly are, and then to use this knowledge to help make real progress in yoga. The Major Chakras and their Stateof Consciousness from the Base of the Spine to the Crown of the Head and Beyond the First Chakra MULADHARA (located between the legs) At this level, an individual acts in darkness and views the world in a very cruel and materialistic way. Lacking the discrimination to tell Page 20 right from wrong, the individual hurts himself and others. In this state, the Divine Energy is at its lowest degree of strength. Imagine a caveman; someone so primitive that they are only concerned with the most basic acts of survival. Their responses to the outer world are painted only with the broadest of brushstrokes as in fear, anger, joy, etc. Although we all pass through this state of consciousness as young children, most move beyond as they age and evolve. the Second Chakra SVADHISHTHANA (located by sexual organs) Here one thinks only that the world is brought about by the union of male and female -- that sex is the basis of everything. Holding such a view, this poor soul endowed with little understanding wastes all its semen and sexual power in vain, sympathetically slowing its down spiritual progress. An individual lost in this state is easily hooked on sex, and it is hard for them to ever really break free. The more one’s cravings are satisfied, the larger they grow and the faster they multiplyOf course, when exercised properly, with moderation and without attachment, then the suffering inherent in this state is lessened. the Third Chakra MANIPURA (located below the navel) In this state, one seeks for power and achievement. Here one works hard for The Natural

Ostentation, rudeness, etc.: “Striving hard only to amass wealth for the satisfaction of their passion, one saysMotivated by selfish actions, one offers sacrifices, gives and rejoices. the Fourth Chakra ANAHATA (located by the heart) At this level, one begins to transcend the ordinary human emotions partially described above. One acts with pure resolve and with conscience. Ordinary love is now constantly being transformed into compassion, and it purifies the mind and heart, increasing spiritual perception. This may be the beginning of the end of sin. the Fifth Chakra VISHUDDHA (located by the throat) Here one strives hard for spiritual fulfillment. Virtues such as self-denial, self-control, austerity, steadfastness, uprightness, renunciation, dedication, truthfulness and tranquility are highly cultivated. This may be the end of sin. the Sixth Chakra AJNA (located by the forehead – third eye) Here, after long and painful spiritual practices such as self-purification, the mind, heart and intellect are purified and the consciousness is expanded to the level of Divine Perception. One sees the Spiritual World or has a complete vision of God. the Seventh Chakra SAHASRARA (located at the top of the head) This is the end of the journey, one returns home again. As the air from a bubble becomes one with the ocean of air around it after bursting, so here pure consciousness, existence and bliss are freed from their veil or bubble (ego, individuality, perception of duality, Maya) and become one with the homogeneous Mass of Existence, Complete Knowledge or Bliss Absolute. What else is there to say? Observe the fullness of Yama and Niyama (the ethical rules and observances of yoga), do your practice no matter what, be kind to everyone, harbor no ill feelings for your fellow man and make every action an act of adoration to the Supreme Self or God. Then the essence of the Chakras will reveal itself to you and you will achieve perfect success in yoga.

T he wisest king in world history was King Solomon of Ancient Israel, 3,500 years ago. He is recorded in the Bible: “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) In life, timing is everything.

True science revolves around cause “Let your food be your medicine and let and effect. There is an obvious place your medicine be your food.” Here is for orthodox medicine. We create our the problem. Medical schools do not W teach about food, food medicine or food supplementation. Medical schools have been controlled by the pharmaceutical industry since 1910. This is the most profitable industry in the world. Nothing is going to change this. The Father of Modern Day Medicine, Hippocrates, also taught that: “A proper lifestyle and nutritional evaluation represents half the cure.” Modern day medicine has ceased to consider the founding principles of Father Hippocrates. The standard dogmas of the American Medical Association from the 1950’s has never been retracted that “nutrition has no significance in the treating or prevention of disease.” We alternative practitioners believe differently. We believe, as Father Hippocrates did, that every named medical and psychotic condition is a sign of a long term nutritional deficiency that was either ignored, or worse, suppressed into submission with a drug. There may be a place for drugging but, should every symptom be drugged into submission? Yet this appears to be, what has become known as standard care. What Do You Mean, Primary Care? The terms and spin on words that we use in our everyday language, tells us much about who we are as a people. By Robert H. Sorge, N.D., Ph.D. Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine Since 1964 MARCH-APRIL 2012 NEWLIFE 21 NewLife.Mar12.pg.03-22 3/7/12 2:12 PM When we twist language, we twist meaning and truth. What does the word, “Primary” mean? In plain English, doesn’t it mean first? What then is primary care in the U.S.?” If it is not drugs, pharmaceuticals and surgery, does this make any sense to a thinking person? Granted, even if there is a place for this form of medicine, shouldn’t it be our last resort, rather than our primary? Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, Said: “An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cures.” Here’s the problem. Big Pharma, when it talks about prevention, wellness check-ups and health care, they’re not really talking the same language. What are they talking about? Horrifying flu shots, Cat Scans that emit so-called immunizations, deleterious drugs, mammograms, biopsies, and other health endangering procedures. Most of these procedures have never been proven either safe or effective. Prevention always begins with the alternative and naturopathic doctor, the same way it did 2,300 years ago with 22 NEWLIFE MARCH-APRIL 2012 Page 22 Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. It begins with a proper, in depth, lifestyle and nutrition evaluation. Father Hippocrates taught that prevention represented half the cure. The only difference between Hippocrates and the modern day alternative medicine doctor is that we now have available to us the technology to detect metabolic, nutritional and hormonal imbalances through the blood and we have the computer technology to cross correlate laboratory blood, hair and saliva analysis with every symptom you’ve ever experienced, and then design a personalized nutrition and lifestyle program based on your individual bio-chemistry. Our modern day laboratory sciences are ten years ahead of the everyday practice of orthodox drug medicine. It is no longer necessary to wait for an official diagnosis to begin treating a named medical condition. The technology is now available to uncover pre-cursors to disease years in advance of the diagnosis. For years, our true scientists, (not on Big Pharma payrolls) have been telling us that most degenerative diseases are preventable. This is now a fact. The laboratory technology is available to detect the pre- cursor to diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory disease, immune diseases, stroke, Alzheimer’s and much more, not just months, but years in advance. In effect, this means preventing the diagnosis from ever being rendered. This is truly the new age of medicine. Conclusion As King Solomon said, “There is a place and a time for everything under heaven.” If you’re taken into the emergency room, you have no choice. Be thankful such professionals exist. For the rest of us, the starting place to a high state of health and wellness begins with nutritional testing and personal health and lifestyle evaluation to determine your detoxification, metabolic, fitness and nutritional, hormonal needs, based on your individual bio-chemistry.

A sophisticated visual analysis requires 21 different tests to determine your unique visual pattern. Most eye exams lead only to a prescription for glasses which reinforces visual weakness and may not uncover more fundamental visual problems, which may result in the following symptoms: eyestrain, fatigue, discomfort with your glasses or contact lenses, oversensitivity to light, short attention span, inability to concentrate, general nervousness and tension, headaches, blurry or double vision, poor reading skills, and academic underachievement, coordination difficulties, the need to rub your eyes, and permanent squint or frown. I will analyze your vision and prescribe special lenses and/or daily eye exercise to rid you of your symptoms and make your everyday life more comfortable.

Back Pain? Unique Bodywork & Healing Holistic Approach Ronit The Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition Michael Biamonte, CCN Tom Bertels HEALTH • HYPNOTHERAPY Sexual dysfunction & lower back problems are connected and treatable. My therapy addresses all of you. There are no two people exactly a like. Given your uniqueness the body has a way of mapping out your history. I design a healing strategy that is programmed specifically just for you. It is as individual and unique as your finger print. The process is alive, renewing itself from moment to moment. I use many techniques accordingly. Most of them I developed through researching a solution for clients that would otherwise undergo surgery or medication. TESTIMONIALS: • “Ronit can really ‘see’ what the person needs to help him/her. I have a history of congenital heart problems. Her treatment provides a tremendous energy release, both circulatory and sexual. She made me able to feel again.” (J.H., lawyer) • “The rhythmic movements of her hands are mysterious and have a special quality that bore deep into the depth of the patient’s body & soul, awakening the wellsprings of life anew.” • “Ronit’s treatment does not fit into the framework of all other known types of treatments.” (Moshe Poul Openhimer, specialist in breathing, massage and gymnastics.) Thank GOD a few women were able to conceive and have a baby as a result of my therapy!

Certified Bioenergetic Therapist PSYCHOLOGY & THERAPY • YOGA Feeling overwhelmed? Having trouble with work? With relationships? With loss? Or perhaps you simply feel unable to get what you need. When you are in a struggle with yourself, it can blur everything else. Your life may seem painful, lonely and scary. Don't be alone with your problems. Talking with an insightful, spiritually-attuned psychotherapist can help. Together we can explore, understand, and work with what has been troubling you. Gaining perspective this way can give you a stronger sense of yourself personally, and out in the world. And it can help you discover your own unique evolutionary path. I am a holistic psychotherapist who has been practicing for over 20 years. My institute training left me well versed in many therapeutic modalities. I have also studied the Tao, Buddhism and various forms of healing. But most important is that I am an experienced listener who is attuned to both psychodynamics and spirituality. Successful psychotherapy begins with a trusting relationship. The initial consultation is free. Please feel welcome to call.
