Greetings!

February is the Month of Love. You can surf the web right now and find almost endless "objects" of love that people are talking about. Love your pets. Love the earth. Love your lover. Love your spouse. And here's one that was close to my heart. Love your library (I'm a bookworm). Of course there are all the symbols of Valentines Day like hearts, chocolate, flowers, poems, cards, and of course weddings. Oh, and it's also groundhog day this month.

Of all the possible objects of love we can think of, however, there's one that seems to be mentioned rather infrequently. Ourselves. When we love ourselves we're better able to love others. It makes them better able to love us. It's that Law of Vibration we all keep hearing more and more about. Vibrate it out and it vibrates back to us. The cycle starts with  ourselves. We need to love ourselves first.

This month we talk about pampering (loving) yourself with massages and essential oils. It's a time honored way to honor yourself. We also have class schedules posted this month for our Winter Rays of the Dawn Series and an upcoming Suggestive Therapy class. Getting knowledge of the natural laws we live under and how to apply them is another way in which we learn to love ourselves and others.

And in honor of the Month of Love, and to show our love and appreciation for all of you, we have a party planned for you!

So, read on and find out how you can "love yourself" better.

Hello Everyone:
 
In this Newsletter I wanted to send a message of Health to each and every one of you.  We are in the midst of a very important year for all of us living in the United States of America.  Election year and a chance for new leadership.  As I listen and process the current information about the candidates, policies, the war, possibilities of recession, and my very favorite "healthcare", it can all be so overwhelming.  I feel the need to talk about how to avoid allowing these very serious issues, important as they are, to cause more unresolved stress, worry and fear.  We must start by building a foundation of understanding, a basis of how  our bodies, our minds, our choices, our health and ourselves really work.
 
There are many things that are beyond our control and for those subjects it is best to have a philosophy by which to accept the unknown.  A belief in humanity, a goodness or Godness in us.  That there is something that created this world, everything in it, the Universe and as far as we now know the Universes.  In my work with people seeking relief from illness, pain and dysfunction, and to change from dis-ease to health, this is a constant theme. 
 
Pain and dysfunction are signs to pay attention to, it is the body's way of getting our attention, to do something about it.  In most cases however pain and dis-ease stimulate fear, worry, sadness, and even guilt, and these all work to influence the very DNA to alter the cells from harmony to disharmony, thereby contributing to lack of function and more dis-ease.
 
 It seems logical then that we must start with a premise that something started all this "life" and that something is still involved with running it all.  If that premise can be accepted then we as human beings could begin to work with the very essence of life within us.  We could begin to honor ourselves in such a way as to work with this life essence in ourselves, in others and in our country.  We would therefore serve as living examples, posturing to the world that we have a right to the best in life.  A divine right to be happy, healthy, successful and at peace! 
 
I feel very strongly that if we are to change the problems that plague the world we must first start with ourselves.  A basic understanding of how fabulous our bodies and minds are made and how they function.  For years I have been astonished that the average person knows very little about their own anatomy and even less about how that anatomy works (physiology). There is no doubt that many powerful people, companies and even healthcare professionals take advantage of this widespread ignorance. 
 
I firmly believe we were not designed to suffer needlessly.  The human body is a testimony to the most advanced form of life.  It is phenomenally manufactured and will work to regain health if given the smallest opportunities. We know even less about our thoughts and their affect on the physical matrix of our bodies, even to the very cells.  So little has been brought forth to mainstream thinking that the connections seem unclear and rightly so as we have not been taught about our great Inner World and it's magnificence! 
 
One of the greatest misconceptions today in health is the idea that dis-ease can't be changed.  Once you are diagnosed with a problem you would have to keep it or "live with it."  In reality there are very few health situations that grim.  In most cases we have used energy wrongly and once we can accept that without shame or guilt we can then structure ourselves in such a way as to bring about a change.  Thereby creating a new Idea or Image to live by and manifest.
 
Just as trillions of cells in the physical body are broken down, regenerated and renewed every second of our life which we call metabolism, such are the properties in ideas we choose to believe.  If an idea couldn't be changed we wouldn't be flying in jet airplanes and riding in fancy SUV's.  It is an understanding of these specific principles that will put you on the road to living well, and we know from the "results" we see in our patients that this method really works! 
 
Health like anything else starts with an image (picture of health), then setting our priorities to attract, organize, get into action and expect to receive the results of our Image.  I believe we can change our basic concepts of fear, worry and limited ideas to the opposite, in other words we can change the ideas that we have allowed ourselves to accept and thereby formulate our lives.  There is Nothing more powerful than an IDEA!  Especially one that stimulates fear!
 
Don't let commercials sponsored by the legitimate "drug dealers" dictate health to you.  Of one thing you can be sure, the dis-ease's being managed with pharmaceuticals are certainly not being caused by a lack of medications in your system.   Health cannot be purchased. It must be created and re-created following the internal wisdom in every cell of our body and some very helpful knowledge.
 
Get savvy, learn about yourself, learn the laws of life and teach them to your loved ones.  Everyone benefits from health.  Let's get into true health care and stop financing and supporting "sick care". Lets become healthier and healthier and advocate health for all.  Let's contribute to decreasing healthcare costs by learning and then being responsible for our own health. 
 
Lastly join me in starting a health care revolution after all,
"HEALTH IS CONTAGIOUS."

 Suggestive Therapy has always been a great key to regaining health and is a central part of Zone Therapy Healing. This powerful force is also a great key to healing the mind and soul. Understanding how it works and how to use it is a great key to healing every aspect of our lives.

You won't want to miss this class. It's "Applied". That means you leave with a working knowledge of how this great force works and how to use it.

Recipes
 This is a great soup! It's healthy, tasty, and really quick to fix.

TUSCAN BEAN & VEGETABLE SOUP

1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 large carrot, diced
14 ounce can chopped tomatoes
2/3 cup Italian dry red wine
5 cups fresh vegetable stock
1 tsp dried oregano
15 ounce can mixed beans and legumes,
or dried and soaked overnight (less sodium!)
2 medium zucchini, diced
1 tbsp tomato paste

Place the prepared onion, garlic, celery, and carrot in a large saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes, red wine, vegetable stock, and oregano.

Bring the vegetable mixture to a boil, cover the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir the beans and zucchini into the mixture, and continue to cook, uncovered, for a further 5 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and season well with salt and pepper to taste. Then heat through, stirring occasionally, for a further 2-3 minutes, but do not allow the mixture to boil again.

TO SERVE:
low-fat pesto sauce
crusty bread

For a more substantial  soup, add 12 ounces diced lean cooked chicken or turkey with the tomato past in step 3.

Packaged organic veggie broth is great in this recipe too if  you don't have homemade broth handy.

  Zone Seven - The Rebuilding Zone!
Zone 7 category in Zone Healing is reached when all of the 6 primary Zones have been cleared.  It is in Zone 7 that all tissue rebuilding continues to take place.  This includes red blood cells, white blood cells, nerve cells, organ cells, and organ systems cells and muscle cells.  All systems are cleared and now on go, being regenerated and renewed.  This is the time to continue building a healthier lifestyle.
 
Every research article today is attempting to educate humanity on the value of a healthy lifestyle!  There are multitudes of articles written daily on diet, exercise, anti-oxidants, vitamins etc. the value of sleep, rest and de-stressing.  As you know we have been following the principles of Proper nutrition, proper rest, recuperation, and re-creation, movement and sanitation as outlined by the philosophy of Zone Healing using the Rays of Dawn instruction and the adjuncts of cleansing and balance from day one.  We hosted the InnerKlean detox diet in the month of January to kick start our year and now get to graduate to balanced nutrition.  When we live in harmony with Natural Law, the body, mind and soul are operating at an optimal level.  Our goal for each patient is to attain Zone 7. 
 
If you are interested in healing and achieving this goal, speak with Dr. Cathy.  She will outline the best way to achieve this as your health goal and work with you to attain it.  We are a Zone Healing International health care clinic.  We promote health and healing everyday.  We are here to tell you about health, to educate you about health and to support you in getting the health you have a right too.  Health cannot be bought it must be created and re-created over and over again.
 
 Come in for a complimentary consult.  Get your Zones checked and let us help you get to Zone 7, the rebuilding zone.  Where there is health there can be no dis-ease!

Essential Oils and Massage
Healing Through the Senses
lavendar

Massage therapy is an ancient mode of healing. The ancients were well aware of the healing benefits of massage and essential oils. Scientists today are proving they were right.

There's impressive research showing the health benefits of massage therapy. The nervous system is profoundly  influenced. It benefits breathing, heartbeat, and circulation. The skin is improved by clearing toxins from the body.

Essential oils can be combined with oils used in massage to produce even more health benefits. Smells affect the limbic system which affects emotional and physical responses to life's pressures. It's a proven stress reducer. The oils also stimulate the surface skin cells, encouraging cell regeneration.

Each essential oil has it's own uses and benefits. Lavender, for example, reduces irritability and calms the mood. Geranium is said to cause negative thoughts to disappear and give you a feeling of confidence.

In addition to massage therapy, other ways to use essential oils include inhaling through a tissue, wafting through the air with a diffuser, or in a footbath.

Absolute Health Chiropractic carries a variety of essential oils. This month we're having a 15% sale on all of our oils. We encourage you to "love" yourself by choosing some oils that fit you at a special price.
