What is a body burden and how can it be harming you?
|
 We talk a lot about electromagnetic radiation and other people's stress and negativity, but there are some other factors that you should be aware of. You are exposed to multiple toxins and other factors that add to the burden your body is attempting to carry. Each layer of this burden reduces your body's ability to heal itself naturally and exposes you to more illness and stress. Body burdens include: - EMF radiation
- Food that may
include
pesticides
- Stale air
- Pressure on the job
- Being around negative or emotionally ill people
- Household chemicals
- Formaldehyde and other chemicals built into our
- Lack of exercise
- Arguments
- No quiet time to regroup

*New
Study Finds Pesticides Double Risk of ADHD in Our Children*
| |
by Tony Isaacs, citizen journalist
For years environmentalists and natural health advocates have been trying to point out that organophosphate pesticides (malathion, etc.) work by disrupting the neurological systems of insects, and therefore humans who consume them on foods are at risk of neurological problems. Now, after millions of kids have been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), it is finally being admitted.
 In a new study just published in Pediatrics, researchers from the University of Montreal and Harvard University found evidence strongly indicating that pesticides could be a major cause of the alarming rise in ADHD in our children. Children who had higher than average biomarkers for organophosphate pesticides were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Previous studies found that pesticides may contribute to hyperactivity and cognitive problems in animals, but the new study is among the first to determine that it affects humans, too.
Among the study's findings:
* Children who have high levels of pesticide residues are 93% more likely to have ADHD.
and
* For every 55% increase in residue in urine, there is a 10% greater risk of ADHD.

UCLA Study "On Friendship Among
Women" an Alternative to Fight or Flight
By Gale Berkowitz
 A landmark UCLA study suggests friendships between women are special. They
shape who we are and who we are yet to be. They soothe our tumultuous inner
world, fill the emotional gaps in our marriage, and help us remember who we
really are.
By the way, they may do even more. Scientists now suspect that hanging out with
our friends can actually counteract the kind of stomach-quivering stress most
of us experience on a daily basis. A landmark UCLA study suggests that
women respond to stress with a cascade of brain chemicals that cause us to make
and maintain friendships with other women. It's a stunning find that has
turned five decades of stress research--most of it on men--upside down.
Until this study was published, scientists generally believed that when people
experience stress, they trigger a hormonal cascade that revs the body to either
stand and fight or flee as fast as possible, explains Laura Cousin Klein,
Ph.D., now an Assistant Professor of Bio-behavioral Health at Penn State
University and one of the study's authors. It's an ancient survival mechanism
left over from the time we were chased across the planet by saber-toothed
tigers.
Now the researchers suspect that women have a larger behavioral repertoire than
just fight or flight; in fact, says Dr. Klein, it seems that when the
hormone oxytocin is released as part of the stress responses in a woman, it
buffers the fight or flight response and encourages her to tend children and
gather with other women instead. When she actually engages in this tending or
befriending, studies suggest that more oxytocin is released, which further
counters stress and produces a calming effect.
This calming response does not occur in men, says Dr. Klein, because
testosterone---which men produce in high levels when they're under
stress---seems to reduce the effects of oxytocin. Estrogen; she adds,
seems to enhance it.
The discovery that women respond to stress differently than men was made in a
classic "aha" moment shared by two women scientists who were talking
one day in a lab at UCLA. There was this joke that when the women who
worked in the lab were stressed, they came in, cleaned the lab, had coffee, and
bonded, says Dr. Klein. When the men were stressed, they holed up
somewhere on their own. I commented one day to fellow researcher Shelley
Taylor that nearly 90% of the stress research is on males. I showed her the
data from my lab, and the two of us knew instantly that we were onto
something.

How can you make this vacation RELAXING, not one you need a vacation to
recover from?
|
 It's summer and hopefully you're taking some time off to enjoy some travel, family, or just to rest and recuperate.
Most of us spend our time planning What we're going to do and give little thought to How we're going to do it. Whether you're a highly sensitive person or not, oftentimes just a few changes in your vacation plans will give you a much more enjoyable time and leave you actually feeling like you don't need a vacation to recover from your vacation. I used to feel like that a lot after a vacation, but I finally learned a few things that work for me and I find myself looking forward to the summer a lot more than I used to.
Hopefully a few of these tips will make a difference for you.
- Here's a time/stress saving tip - Did you know you can put a hold on your mail online in about 1 minute? You tell the post office when to start and stop your mail, easy. Just go tohttps://holdmail.usps.com/holdmail/landingView.do
- When you're traveling, chances are you're going to be flying and possibly changing time zones. Wear your Shield and enjoy your trip more than ever. How can the Shield help? Your shield will protect you from the electromagnetic bombardment at the airport and on the plane. Even if you have to take your Shield off to go through security, put it right back on and it will immediately begin helping your body release the effects of the radiation.
- Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, airports, strange cities, hotels....all are awash with other people's energy. It may be happy and joyful energy, but chances are many of the people are stressed, worried about how to get where they're going, dealing with family or work situations, or any number of other emotional issues. Your sensitivity to these things is even greater when you travel because you too are dealing with having to figure out new places, situations, directions, etc. So the less you have to deal with their energy, the more relaxed and focused you can be.
- Hotels, we don't normally wear our Shields at night, except when we're staying in a hotel. That hotel room is filled with different energies, even emotional baggage left behind by many of the other people who have slept in that bed. The hotel maids clean the room physically, but they can't do anything to clean the energy. Either put your shield on the nightstand near you, or even wear it during the night and you might just sleep better.
- Jet lag and time zones. Jet lag is partially caused by the EMF load in the airplane. The Shield naturally helps with that issue. Jet lag and time zone shifts also throw off your body clock. Because the Shield is balancing your energy field, you'll find that you're able to adjust more easily when wearing your Shield. Read more about the BioElectric Shield and jet lag.
- Get clear about what's relaxing for you. You may find laying on the beach relaxing, or maybe hiking in the mountains or kayaking nourishes your soul. You're the best judge of what's going to be best for you.
- Put on your Shield and have a relaxing summer.
We found an excellent article about "Sensitive Summer Travel" on Elaine Aron's website, although it's meant for highly sensitive people, we think most of us can take a few pointers from it to assure an enriching, self-nourishing vacation.Sensitive Summer Travel on Elaine Aron's website

Recharge your Shield
|
Don't forget to recharge your shield.
 Hang Shield in natural light either in a window, or
preferably, outside. (More info about recharging) We usually just keep it on the cord or chain, and loop it over a lawn
chair. This allows it to hang freely and absorb the energy from the sun. (Be sure you secure the loop by wrapping around something, then pull Shield through the loop, pull to make sure it can't come off)
IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A SUNNY DAY for you to
recharge your Shield.
It's not the light that the shield needs; it's the energy vibration
from the sun that recharges the crystals. However, bright sunlight does
make it charge faster. So, if it's sunny, leave it out for 3 continuous
hours; if cloudy, for 6 continuous hours. If you are hanging it in a
window that blocks certain parts of the light spectrum, leave it for 8
hours.  DO
NOT LEAVE YOUR SHIELD OUT IN THE MOONLIGHT! The moon is reflected
energy from the sun, thus it pulls energy away from your Shield. If you
ever forget, hang your Shield out for twice as many hours as it was
left in the moonlight. To insure it is functioning at 100%, you can
send it in for recharging and repolishing. Our consultant examines each
Shield that is sent in to make sure it has received a full charge from
our crystal room.
Suggestion
for worry-free recharging: Recharge your Shield during the New Moon
(dark) phase. That way if you do forget and leave it out overnight,
there's no harm done, as there is no moonlight shining on it to drain
it. ROOM SHIELD NOTE: Your Room Shield is constantly recharging using the ambient light in the room. Unless you have it in a completely windowless room, you don't need to recharge your Room Shield. If you haven't charged your Shield regularly for more than two years, you may want to get it recharged by us in our Montana crystal charging circle.
Have a joyful, abundant and positive month
Sincerely,
Virginia and Carolyn
