JIN SHIN JYUTSU - A NATURAL EXPERIENCE

JIN SHIN JYUTSU: A NATURAL EXPERIENCE

Walking through the doors of a wellness center, I am hesitant as to what I may experience in the following hour. A kind receptionist greets and directs me to a comfortable waiting room- where a refreshing ginger scent lingers in the air and a selection of flavored tea has been pleasantly placed on a small table. I notice magazines and books containing literature on natural healing exercises- particularly Jin Shin Jyutsu. I am relieved to learn that those who practice it often experience a significant degree of energy healing. “How is this possible?” I ask myself.

My practitioner, Kathy Keating warmly introduces herself and escorts me to a dimly lit room with a naturally soothing ambiance. I place myself on a comfortable massage table and spread a soft blue blanket over my chest and lower body. Keating asks me to discuss personal concerns and stresses. She thoroughly explains that the energy healing techniques she will be using may provide slight to significant relief of my ailments- caused by blockages and stagnation of energy flow.

She reads my pulse, turns on low relaxing music, and places her hands gently under and above various areas of my body. As she alternates sides and positions, I can actually sense my energy flow changing. My body feels warm in areas, particularly my abdomen- a main region of personal concern. After spending a few minutes on a specific “safety energy lock” or SEL, my calming practitioner senses clarity and moves on to the next blocked SEL.

For the moment, my demanding schedule is of little concern, and my number one priority is achieving harmonization within myself- something I would have never considered possible (until researching Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments). Towards the end of my treatment I notice a throbbing sensation in- what feels like -the back of my head. It strongly continues for about two minutes and abruptly stops. Immediately, I feel relief- as if the negative energy was leaving my body at that very moment. My practitioner satisfyingly reads my pulse, which is significantly more harmonized than when I had first arrived.

My positive experience with a Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment is not an isolated occurrence. Apparently, humans have been practicing natural healing techniques for centuries. Many doctors even suggest Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments to their patients. There are countless reviews on the effects it has had on cancer sufferers and people plagued by severe anxiety and stress. Consistent monthly treatments are highly recommended for continuous body, mind, and spirit restoration.

Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments, Tai Chi & Qigong classes, along with several other services, are offered at:

Earth Changes: Is Cancer Caused by Candida Fungus?

Did you know that one of the "coolest" essential oils available is peppermint? Not only will it help alleviate headaches when placed on the temples, it will also help to clear that feeling of brain fog that may sometimes appear out of nowhere. Place a few drops of peppermint on the back of your neck and it will help to cool you down in the middle of a pesky hotflash. Peppermint essential oil is the "coolest".

Yours in Health
Dr. Barry

Our New Chiropractor

Over the past several months we have been quietly and powerfully INTENDING that the perfect Chiropractor join our staff. We even knew it "wanted" to be a male, to create more balance in our awesome staff, as we only had (the very talented) Jason Latona to "anchor" that position so far. Lo and behold, enter Dr. Barry Weinberg, D.C. extraordinaire! Dr. Weinberg not only practices Wellness Chiropractic, he has also published several books on healing, is a great teacher/lecturer, and rounds out the Point Pleasant "family" beyond our wildest dreams.

We want you to come and meet him, attend his Thursday Night Lecture series, (free, so RSVP to reserve your seat!)and benefit from his pure commitment to help you be "Happier, Healthier, more Harmonious"..."one life at a time."

Swine Flu Prevention

I have had an intense amount of questions surrounding the swine flu, and what can be done naturally to prevent it. Fortunately, I have answers! There is a homeopathic flu remedy called Oscillococcinum that has bee around for decades, quietly doing the job. It is readily available at health food stores, and even some local pharmacies.
This remedy is fabulous, because it tastes great and can be used by all age groups.

To help prevent an onset of ANY flu, take 1/2 vial under the tongue at night for 3 nights in a row. As with all homeopathics, do not use mint toothpaste before or after taking the remedy. You can switch to baking soda for a few nights.

If you feel you might be coming down with a flu, take a full vial up to 3 times per day for at least 3 days. You also might consider supplementing with Echinacea, which stimulates the immune system. As with all natural products, take the Echinacea frequently throughout the day and evening, up to 6 times. Continue for at least 5 days. Additional helpers are Vitamin C (use Esther-C), zinc and vitamin D3. To your health!

Gluten-free Cooking Class Fun & Delicious

Last Saturday we had some serious fun in our kitchen, as Nikki Costello, Anthony Aliberti (our guest instructor) and I held the 2nd Gluten-free Cooking (and Eating!) Class.

The theme was Caribbean Food, and the coconut/mango salad that Nikki introduced was a major hit, as was the chilled salmon with salsa and Anthony's family recipe of a vegetable goulash. Nikki's black bean soup was a perfect match to start the meal with and to finish it off, we made Bananas Foster (yes, we lit our food on fire!) with rum. The kitchen was filled with excited happy people when we polished off the dessert. By the way, the next class's theme is Mexican Food...gluten and dairy free, of course!

Wellness Club

Our Wellness Club members have been busy taking advantage of the beautiful South Florida weather. The members of the walking team have been doing their weekly walks around the Sunrise Beach area, and a few of the cyclists have been riding up along A1A.

Gehwol Article: Foot Smell - What Really Helps

Struggle with "foot smell"? Gehwol published an interesting article on a subject many of us are challenged with. You CAN battle the bacteria that causes "cheesy feet". This bacteria is ultimately the "decomposition of mainly sulphur and nitrogen compounds".

There is a product that can help! Read more about Gehwol Fusskraft Green with Deozinc and how it can help you (or someone you love) achieve well-being of the feet. Go to our Articles page and go to the link titles Foot Smell - What Really Helps.
