BODY SECRETS REVEALED
by Ellen Hughes

heart

"My heart's just not into it."

"I have a bad feeling in my gut."

Sound familiar? Do you ever have a sixth sense about things, instincts that don't seem to be based on logic? There is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon. It's called a neuron. A neuron is a cell that processes information. Your brain has 100 billion neurons; your gut has 100 billion. Your heart has 40,000. In essence, you have three intelligence centers - head, heart and gut. So when you say, "My heart's just not into it", it's really the result of neurons processing information - motor (movement), sensory (see, hear, smell taste and touch), and cognitive (reason, think, dream, plan, remember) that flows through the Central Nervous System.

An alternative health method that taps into this phenomenon is HeartMath. HeartMath utilizes technology, tools and techniques to facilitate communication between the heart and brain.

Ellen L. Hughes is an author and lecturer and describes herself as a "health junkie". She is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and has trained in EFT, Brain Gym�, Tellington Touch, Energy Medicine and other methods. Her latest book, "Adventures With Natural Healing" explores 27 alternative health methods and discusses when to use them, the scientific principle and the body system accessed and basic instructions for each method.

She also shares her personal experiences. Come listen to her share her knowledge at the Shining Lotus Sunday, May 20th, from 2:00 - 3:00 pm.
MAY ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE 
by Marci McCaffery

Astrologer Marci McCaffery
TAURUS the Bull
(Apr 21 - May 21).
Key Phrase: "I HAVE"

Earthy Taurus is a fixed sign which tends to play it safe. As pragmatists, Taureans simply trust what they know. However, with jovial Jupiter transiting this sign, possibilities abound to expand and grow. Hard work can result in positive outcomes. A more relaxed sense of well-being, coupled with a spirited sense of humor, is noticeably enhanced. On May 22th, the Taurus Sun conjoins with Jupiter indicating that expansive financial options might just pay off in the long run.

 

Taurus by Josephine Wall
Taurus by Josephine Wall
On April 21st, our annual attunement with love, nature, and beauty is sparked by the arrival of the New Moon at 1degree Taurus. The general outlook indicates that this is a good time to get down to business. The transiting Sun in Taurus makes an effortless trine with Pluto, offering potent transformations which can bring about a greater sense of personal power. Blocks which have been frustrating your success, are easily dissolved.
