| Greetings! |
Ever feel like you're in the middle of the eye of a hurricane? You watch as things hurl by as you stand centered in a place of stillness just bordering on anxiety?
Life is happening ever faster and it takes some radical trust to stay focused on your personal goals in such turbulent times. You may be wondering, "How can I even hope to control my health and wellbeing when month after month I'm fed layers of fear by the media?"
One thing you can do is turn off the news and rest assured that you can strengthen your immune system naturally. A simple way to do this is with a good squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of cayenne pepper in your drinking water. Have this warming tonic first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Not only will it alkalize your body, making you more resistant to infection, but it will dissolve excess mucus, relieving you of uncomfortable reactions to Springtime.
Add some maple syrup to that drink and you've got the recipe for the popular Master Cleanse.
There are many ways to gently detoxify your body without going to extremes like the restrictive lemonade diet. If you haven't already, this is a perfect time to start Spring Cleaning. Please contact me if you need support, and let's find out how I can help you achieve greater wellness.
In Joy!

| Reflexology Update |
 Did you know that this natural healing art is based on the concept that every part and system of the body is mirrored through reflex points, zones and areas on the feet, hands and ears? By stimulating these areas using specific thumb, finger and hand pressure techniques, deep relaxation can be experienced, thus promoting balance in the body and encouraging healing.
The oldest known documentation of reflexology dates back to about 2300 BC as a pictograph found in the tomb of an Egyptian physician. However, it is speculated that reflexology's birth began with the Incas, an ancient Peruvian civilization reaching back to 12000 BC.
Reflexology works by promoting normalization of the body naturally. It helps reduce stress and brings about relaxation. It also improves circulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells. On deeper levels, reflexology cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, it revitalizes energy, stimulates creativity and productivity, and helps to boost the immune system.
Reflexology, while not a substitute for medical treatment, can be a very nice complement to most types of therapies.

| Spiritual Exploration |
 If you've been receiving my e-news since its beginning, you might remember that in the Summer of 2007, Christine Schiavone graciously featured me as a guest on her local cable TV talk show Spiritual Exploration. For one hour we talked about how and why the foods we eat have the power to enhance or diminish our spiritual connection to the world around us.
If you didn't have Staten Island Cable, you wouldn't have been able to see the show, which aired five times that August! But now, thanks to the wonder of modern technology, I can finally share that program with you through Christine's website where she's uploaded several enhanced audio podcasts. (These seem to work great on a Mac but you may need to download a free Quicktime program for your PC.)
The link to the show is below. Please realize I was more than a little nervous leading up to and during the taping, this having only been my third public speaking engagement at the time and my first live unedited broadcast. So I humbly ask you to be critically gentle and receive my message in the spirit of love and wellness with which it was intended. Thanks so much!
The easiest way to access Food and Spirituality with Christine Schiavone and Linda Principato is to click here for Christine's website, then scroll down to click on Episode #5. Please give the podcast a few moments to begin. Be sure to check out the other episodes of Spiritual Exploration with enlightening guests. Locally, watch new shows Friday nights at 10 PM on SI CTV 35.
