Global Healing Treatment & Seminars Newsletter, February 2010
February is National Heart Month!
We all associate the heart with the month of February, thanks to Valentines Day. Perhaps this is why the American Heart Association chose to highlight it as heart health month as well.
Let's use National Heart Month as our reason to make a daily commitment to a heart-healthy lifestyle. This means not smoking, exercising regularly, making good food choices and reducing stress.
More tips on a happy heart follow!

Magnesium - Essential for Heart Health
By Janine Lex
The latest government study shows that almost 70% of the American population consumes less than the recommended daily intake (RDI) of Magnesium. The RDI is considered a minimum for survival. (This, by the way, is about 300mg daily.) For total vitality, a higher intake is recommended.
Magnesium (Mg) is a trace mineral that is known to be required for several hundred different functions in the body. A significant portion of the symptoms of many chronic disorders are identical to symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Common conditions such as mitral valve prolapse, migraines, premenstrual syndrome, attention deficit disorder, fibromyalgia, muscle spasm, constipation, asthma and allergies have all been linked to a Mg deficiency. Perhaps not coincidentally, these conditions also tend to occur in clusters together within the same individual. A magnesium deficiency as a root cause would provide a logical explanation of why some people suffer from a constellation of these types of problems.. . . .. . . Read the complete article
Essential Oil Tip
The Young Living essential oil, Joy, produces a magnetic energy that brings happiness to the heart, inspires romance, and helps overcome grief and depression.
Apply directly over heart and/or on wrists. Also good to apply to palms and breathe 10 deep breaths.
Healing the Heart
By Jonathan Tripodi
The heart pumps nearly 4000 gallons of blood each day. It beats some 30 million times a year! Of all the body’s organs, the heart has been measured to emit the largest electromagnetic energy field and has been measured to surround the body 4-6 feet from its surface. Needless to say, we are dependent on the heart for life; but, the heart is more than a life sustaining organ. It is also the vessel with which we experience joy, love and emotional fulfillment.
As a protective mechanism, the body will suppress emotion that is overwhelming or painful. Suppressed emotion causes the body’s fluids and tissues to harden – a phenomenon known as body armor. Body armor protects a person by minimizing the conduction of emotional energy. In effect, body armor virtually anesthetizes a person from suppressed emotion. 
After eighteen years of treating body armor and the memories it suppresses, I have discovered that unresolved heartache creates hardening of the ribcage, chest muscles and surrounding connective tissue which limits mobility of the thoracic spine. Hypomobility (too little movement) of the midback therefore causes hypermobility (too much movement) above and below, ie. the neck and low back respectively. Hypermobility creates friction and strain that results in inflammation and pain.
In addition to pain, unresolved heartache creates a multitude of other side-effects including shallow breathing, frequent bouts of pneumonia or bronchitis, fear and distrust of being loved, depression and fatigue. True intimacy becomes difficult until the armoring and fear from past heartache is resolved.
Lastly, unresolved emotional wounds lower the energetic output of the heart thus minimizing vitality to the whole body. It is suspected that those who suffer from fatigue, depression or even anxiety are responding to unresolved memories from the past that are suppressed in their body in which they were emotionally hurt.
As a Body Memory Recall practitioner, my clients have expressed the fear “if I open my heart, I will get hurt again” or “it may be too painful to let go of pains from the past”. Yet the hundreds of people I have treated who have summoned the courage to take this leap of faith discover that it does hurt, but only for a short while. After a few releases of suppressed emotion that may include tears, a person’s becomes filled with new life energy; joy, peace and inspiration for new possibilities.
We might all consider taking a leap of faith this month and give ourselves and our heart the opportunity to experience life anew without the baggage and limiting programming from our past. Below is a healing affirmation that can help get the transformational process underway.
Healing Heart Affirmation: Find a quiet, peaceful place to say this affirmation daily; morning and evening. Repeat as needed to activate the mind and body’s self-healing abilities and the transformational process.
“Whatever pain and hurt I have experienced in my life, I recognize now that I survived. I now give myself permission to allow my heart to release these pains and fears. I trust the healing intelligence within me to orchestrate this transformation. I forgive myself and others so that my heart may heal fully. I accept the past just as it was so that I may be more fully and alive in the present moment. Lastly, I affirm each day and throughout the day my power to create new, healthy and loving experiences. I choose to assert this power in each day. "

Movie: The Beautiful Truth, The Gerson Cancer CureSaturday, March 13 at 5:30
After the unexpected and tragic death of his mother, 15-year old Garrett was spiraling downward and fast. His father withdrew him from school to prevent him from flunking out, after which he was home-taught. Growing up on an Alaskan animal reserve, Garrett’s father recognized his son’s interest in the dietary habits of their animals. That prompted him to assign a book written by Dr. Max Gerson, which maintains that there is a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer. Fascinated and curious, Garrett embarks on a cross-country road trip to investigate the merits of The Gerson Therapy. He meets with scientists, doctors and cancer survivors who reveal how the multi-billion dollar medical industry has made it their mission to dismiss the notion of alternative and natural cures
