Intenders Circle
"Where we share our dreams, instead of our dramas"
 We've all heard it many times before, throughout many stages our lives, from many sources - "be positive," "think positive," "look at the brighter side"...and so on. And most of us do agree. Somewhere inside of us, we do want to focus on the positive. Then something slips - our memory, our desire, our will, or our belief in ourselves. The Intenders Circle is FREE; there are no dues to pay, no memberships to join and no leadership positions to occupy. www.intenders.comPlease join us for this circle of like-minded individuals as we gather together to create this conscience community of Intenders of the Highest Good, providing each other with the support and accountability for manifesting exactly what we want in our life.
The Intention Process
- There is power in the spoken word.
- Saying our intentions out loud focuses our thoughts.
- Postive thoughts bring postive experiences.
- Negative thoughts bring undesired experiences.
- It's important to trust & know that the things we intend are coming to us because doubt will interfere with the manifestation of our positive intentions.
- We always ask that in order for our intentions to come to us they must serve the highest & best good for the Universe and the higest & best good for ourselves and others.
- As we go around the circle, we express our gratitude for intentions that have come to us & we state our new intentions.
- Clarity is important!
- We eliminate such words as: trying, hoping, wanting, and not.
- We say things in a positive way. For example: Instead of saying, "I am not afraid anymore," we say, "I intend that I am courageous."
- We don't name sickness in our circles; we see everyone in their Highest Light.
- We say our intentions daily & we gather together at least once a month.
- We don't know when or how our intentions will manifest for us, we just knowthat they will.
- We always end our intentions with our seven favorite words - So be it and so it is!
Anyone can do it! Just by saying your intentions each day and gathering together on a regular basis in an Intention Circle, you can change your life for the better. We hope you'll join us!
We will meet from 6:00 - 7:30 pm at the Massage and Bodywork Centers on the following dates. Starting in November, Dorothy will host the Friday sessions and Georganne McIntyre will host the Sunday sessions. Attending regular monthly sessions helps reinforce the the benefits of the Intenders process.
- Friday, October 5
- Friday, October 12
- Friday, November 2
- Sunday, November 18
- Friday, December 7

Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy
 Massage & Bodywork Centers is proud to be hosting Barbara Salvitti, NHP, from The Tobit Wellness Center in West Chester, for the 2nd Saturday - Wellness Works in December. She will be taking appointments for Lymphstar Vibrational Lymphatic Therapy.
Below are some frequently asked questions about the lymphatic system and the Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy.
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is like a vital 'RIVER OF LIFE' within us because it transports the fluid that cleanses every cell and organ in the body! It is THE pathway for TOXINS to exit from the blood and from the spaces between the cells. There are 17 trillion cells in the body. They are constantly exchanging substances within this space - called the interstitial space. The lymphatic system takes the toxic load and sends it out through the bladder, bowels, skin, and the lungs. And even more, the lymph system plays a key role in our IMMUNE FUNCTION. Infection - fighting white blood cells are transported via the lymph to destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi within the lymph nodes. The nodes also filter out these pathogens and other toxins. Finally, there are LYMPH GLANDS like the tonsils & spleen which perform immune functions as well. To sum it up, we can say that the lymphatic system is essentially the information highway of our immune system and the pathway for toxic removal. In fact some say it IS the IMMUNE SYSTEM!
How do I know if I have lymphatic problems? Lymphatic flow functions normally with physical activity and an overall healthy circulatory system. But stagnation can occur anywhere along the system, creating congestion and thicker lymphatic fluid. Also, surgery, injuries, radiation therapy, and removal of lymph structures create scar tissue that blocks lymph flow. The results of slower or blocked flow can be many. They range from sinus trouble, headaches, swelling (edema) in any part of the body, tender cystic breasts, fatigue and chronic pain syndromes, skin and other infections, asthma and allergies, poor digestion, female problems, prostate issues, continued pain after injuries and surgeries, premature aging, to cancer and other diseases.
Are there other causes? Yes, some people are born with primary lymphatic diseases. But most of us have issues related to trauma, surgeries, and poor health habits. Modern lifestyles substantially add to impaired lymph function. These include tight clothing, lack of exercise, unhealthy food and abuse of food, electronic and chemical pollution, chronic stress, poor sleep, and hormone mimics called endocrine disrupters from plastics, air pollution, drugs, herbicides, and pesticides. These all burden the free flow of lymph.
What is the Lymphstar Pro® and How Does it Work?  Electro-biology devices have been in use for over 120 years! The exclusive innovation of the Lymphstar family of products are the pinnacle of this evolution.
The Lymphstar Pro® emits a low energy vibration that is safe and relaxing to experience. It is an electronic device that uses therapy heads containing noble gases in glass tubes. The gases are excited (ionized) by a high voltage field at low current (amperage). The therapy heads emit various fields of energy when touched onto the skin. These vibrational energies are (1) an electrostatic field, (2) this field 'dynamically pulsed' at low frequencies to create acoustic waves, and (3) an electro-pressure field is created by the use of two therapy heads on various locations. It also positively impacts the meridian and acupuncture point systems of the body as well. When coupled with a therapist's caring attention you have a highly effective therapeutic system we call Lymphatic Enhancement Technology (LET).™
Next month we'll share more about the Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy experience and the scientific rationale behind it. You'll also hear from Barbara Salvitti, a National Health Practitioner, about the therapy and about Dorothy's personal experience with the therapy. |
