 Local Author and Healer Suggests That Answer to Anxiety May Be Found Within
 "For those who want to get to the bottom of their anxiety, and deal with it long term without therapists or drugs, there is a magic bullet," writes Maplewood-based healer Maria Tabone in the introduction to her new book "The Holistic Root to Managing Anxiety."
This is a surprising statement from someone who practices health from a holistic point a view. But Tabone is not recommending a specific medicine or even a specific herb. What she encourages her readers and her clients do instead is "figure out the root of your anxiety."
"Self awareness is the best tool," says Tabone.
She speaks from experience. A full chapter of Tabone's book is devoted to describing her own struggle with debilitating anxiety that led to bouts of vertigo and shortness of breath. The root of her anxiety was a toxic work situation, Tabone explains. "I had a boss who was a real bully," she says. "The situation was so bad, but I needed my job. I didn't think I could choose to leave." At the same time, Tabone's mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The two stressors made a cocktail for disaster. She knew she needed help.
A fortuitous meeting with a compassionate and holistic-minded doctor led Tabone to realize how her life was "spinning out of control." This was the first doctor who asked her to talk about her life, recalls Tabone, and he actually listened. "The epiphany for me was the realization that I needed to change. I started taking yoga, classes on herbs, spirituality, eating healthy and the mind-body connection," she says. Now, with a Master's Degree in Experiential Health and Healing and certification as a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, Tabone wants to help others.
"I don't want people to suffer or feel sad or pain," she says. "I wrote this book to give readers good, solid information in a concise way about simple steps they can take to improve their life. Sometimes too much information can be overwhelming, but if you break things down in a way that is easy to understand and apply, especially for people who are new to alternative and complementary therapy, you can really help change lives."

Health-e-Motion Offers Women Opportunities to "Remember Joy"
Like many individuals who have found their way to a holistic lifestyle, Christine Clifton's transformation began after years of trying to find solutions to her pain that turned out to be symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
Christine Clifton | "After bumbling from doctor to doctor and trying many holistic options," Clifton says, "I created a personal regimen that harmonizes spirit, mind, emotion and body; and I healed my conditions."
In February 2010, with a goal of helping others create their own personal healing regimen, Clifton founded a school of "total well-being" for men and women in Denville, NJ, called Health-e-Motion (the name born from combining the words Health, Motion, Healthy, and Emotion).
"I believe that natural health should be accessible and affordable to everyone," she says. "At Health-e-Motion, you can participate in and educate yourself in natural health options that include movement classes, total well-being workshops, and personal & business growth groups - and choose what works for you. Offerings range from free, to $15 and up."
To showcase the school's offerings and to help women remember the fun and pleasures of life, Clifton is hosting "Remembering Joy - A Girl's Night Out." On August 21, Clifton will present, along with other Health-E-Motion faculty, interactive sessions on nutrition, dance, self-healing, creativity, intuition and personal growth.
"I believe that personal growth doesn't have to be drudgery or work," Clifton says. "We often formulate an idea in our heads that it's a somber, deep, introspective process. Many of us were brought up to focus more on duty and obligation, rather than what we want or desire. This event is called 'Remembering Joy' because following our joy is the path to fulfilling personal growth."
Click here more information about Health-e-Motion and to register for "Remembering Joy." Cost is $77 per person if you register today. $97 by 8/19. |
