"Meditation is simply about being yourself and knowing about who that is. It is about coming to realize that you are on a path whether you like it or not, namely the path that is your life."

"In a multi-year study, whose results were published last month in the Archives of General Psychiatry, Dr. Segal and a group of colleagues found that mindfulness meditation – the term they use is “mindfulness-based cognitive therapy” – was just as effective as antidepressants when it came to preventing depression relapse."

A useful way to think about Mindfulness Meditation is to think of it in much the same way as you would think about any science. Because, in fact, that is exactly what it is. And, when you begin to practice Mindfulness Meditation, you are becoming a scientist.

Art of Life: Tips for Prevention Colds and Flues
2011 @ theartlife.ca

Please find some great cold and flu prevention tips that will keep you healthy this flu season.

Protect Yourself and Your Family in Flu Season.

Practice regular moderate physical activities with walking on fresh air, enough sleep to allow your body recover after routine daily activities.
Take immune friendly foods high in vitamin C and minerals Zn, Se, EFA and probiotics. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits garlic, berries, etc...
Alkalize your body. In acid environment your immune system is working less efficiently. Keep your body more alkaline through diet or using pH Balance tablets.
Wash your hands. Washing hands frequently with hot soapy water will destroy most viruses and you will be less likely to get disease.
Protect your mucous membranes. Viruses and bacteria enter your body through mucous membranes. Delivery of natural substances directly with nebulizer will help to protect your mucous membranes.
Keep your lymphatic circulatory system moving. Lymphatic system is very important in fighting infections. Lymphatic drainage will improve the health of lymphatic system and increase your response to foreign invaders.
Take an action. Defend against colds and flues naturally. Be prepared for winter season.

Headaches: Varieties, Causes and Treatments

Very seldom do we meet a man or woman who has never experienced a headache: such a person would be an incredibly lucky individual. As for the rest of us, of course, nothing is more exhausting and depressing than a splitting headache. The majority of sufferers simply take analgesics and treat the pain symptomatically. However, occasionally the sufferer will notice that the headache occurs more often and there is a need to increase frequency and dosage of medication; clearly, this is a disturbing signal, and a sign that the sufferer needs to address this health issue promptly through a visit to the expert; chronic headaches can signal gross infringements in the body, and need proper attention.

The Art of Life Center offers consultation, relief and permanent healing for chronic and acute headache conditions using only natural remedies and methods.

The Center’s philosophy is that treatment relies on correct diagnosis. Reliance on natural medicine is aimed not necessarily on symptomatic relief, but rather on identifying and addressing the root or systemic headache causes in order to achieve complete recovery.

Modern diagnostic bases, including Voll’s detailed diagnostic method, are used to evolve a complex treatment approach. Remedies often used include naturopathic products, intravenous cocktails, homeopathic medicines, detoxification therapy, acupuncture, applied physiotherapy, and massage. As a rule, optimum results are achieved.

Obviously, it is not possible to list all types of headaches. But, for example, acute localized head pain is one of the most frequent reactions to any internal or external undesirable changes; these can range from diet to emotional discomfort to weather changes. They include hypertensive crises and torturing migraines; an exhausting band-like tension around the head that may last several days. Intracranial pressure fluctuations may cause pressure around the forehead, accompanied by dizziness. The neuralgic headache is characterized as severe, piercing, and localized. There are headaches caused by back and neck problems, psychogenic and psychosomatic headaches etc.

Frequent headaches are caused by neurotoxicity and are directly connected with condition of the liver and intestines. Even the non-specialist knows that headache can be a symptom of chronic constipation, as neurotoxins absorbed from the intestines enter directly into the bloodstream and irritate brain tissue. Similarly, the liver can be affected: the failure to maintain a fresh diet, along with the abuse of analgesics, antibiotics, and hormones, presents an intoxication burden that barely any liver will maintain. Thus support is required to target and cleanse the accumulated toxins. If necessary, individualized complex treatment will include natural detox products as well as Ionic Cleansing, Lymphatic Drainage, and Infra-Red Body Wrap for a deep cellular detoxification.

It is not necessary to suffer! Seeing an expert will establish the causes of each headache syndrome, at the symptomatic, systemic, and cellular levels.

For everyone, who would like to learn more how to get rid of a headache, visit The Art of Life Center’s Open House on August, 25th @ 6:30 pm at 885 Don Mills Road, #121, tel. (416) 499-6747.

Health Is the Basis of Womanly Beauty and Youth

2011-07-19T13:44:00.000-07:00

Screenshot: Health Is the Basis of Womanly Beauty and Youth
2011 @ theartlife.ca

"Beauty will save the world", said the great Russian novelist Dostoevsky. The beauty of a woman consists not only in her physical appearance, but also her feelings, her state of health, her self-confidence, and her confidence in her future.

Researchers of the world’s best laboratories are devoted to problems of female beauty. In the modern market of cosmetology, new technologies and methods are being developed for the maintenance and improvement of physical appearance. Examples of these are lasers and vitamin hypodermic cocktails, Botox and hyaluronic acids, peelings and dermo-abrasive procedures, chemical and electro-coagulations, and many topical applications based on advanced recipes.

It is wonderful that cosmetology science evolves and offers a fantastic choice; however, it is not easy to understand these varieties. For those women seeking to take advantage of this broad new science, only qualified experts with medical education can define which products will benefit you and which ones potentially can cause harm.

One such team of experts works at the Center of natural medicine The Art of Life. The combined effort and professional experience of these professionals, providing a complex, holistic approach to a woman’s body, allows them not just to treat external symptoms, but to reveal and eliminate the deeper roots of problematic physical appearance.

It is useless to fight wrinkles between the eyebrows if they have appeared from a chronic pain: no facial mask will change a grey complexion of your skin if it is caused by toxicity of the liver; saggy skin can be toned only temporarily in the case of chronic insomnia; it is useless to struggle with belly fat if there is underlying hypothyroidism. In short, there is no point in fighting the consequences; instead these holistic methods address the causes.

At the Center, experts will correct the underlying conditions leading to outer imperfections, and will then teach each woman individualized self-care for the optimum condition of her skin. This approach offers unquestionable results for those interested not only in a superficial cosmetic effect, but also in longer-term medical changes. To achieve this objective, The Art of Life has diverse, specialized equipment from Europe, Israel and Japan.

Computer diagnostics will precisely define the particular internal organ malfunctions and /or microelement deficiencies that provoke the unique, undesirable skin effect. Thereafter, recommendations are made for homeopathic or naturopathic remedies for normalization of particular conditions.

Infrared Body Wraps (IBW), in combination with Lymphatic Drainage equipment, will promote deep, effective detoxification at a cellular level. Physical appearance will improve as immune system function is boosted, the edematous condition of legs or various veins is eased, cellulite expression is reduced. The skin will tighten, and fatty folds recede; the waist will become slim, and the posture elegant.

Pulsed magnetic field treatment (PMFT), working in a combination with the infra-red laser, will remove any skin and muscle inflammation, eliminate epidermis peeling and herpes displays, and regenerate degenerated spinal disks, restoring dignity to the bearing, as well as renewed pleasure to bodily movement.

Low interferential currents (IFC) will remove any muscular spasms and painful sensations originating from pinched nerves. Radial acoustic shock wave therapy (RSWT) will address problems with heel spurs and other painful skeletal conditions.

A well-groomed person can achieve the effect of good health as a result of professional makeup. However, the true signs of wellness are shining eyes, a light gait that attracts men’s attention, a natural smile, and a good mood, which in itself activates the immune system, directly influences well-being, and improves physical appearance. These factors reflect your internal health, and cannot be artificially applied!

If you are interested in long-term cosmetic effects, and if a holistic approach to your health and beauty sounds appealing, The Art of Life invites you to visit our Open House, which takes place on Wednesday, July 20, at 6:30 pm. We will gladly acquaint you with original procedures and hardware novelties, as well as answering your questions.

Description:

Your swimsuit is calling you. No, not that ugly black “slimming” one piece you bought because you had to last year. Your real swimsuit – the one you bought because you knew, as soon as you saw it in the store, that you would look amazing in it ... if you could get into the shape you wanted. The poor suit may have been stuck in the back of your closet during these past long winter and spring months, but it's about time to bring her out into the sun! And you can be ready for her with today's deal of $40 for 40 minutes infrared body wrap, 60 minutes lymphatic drainage therapy, 30 minute foot bath ionic detox session and a 15 minute chi machine treatment courtesy of The Art of Life Community Health Center ($145 Value).

Of course, we're sure that you've stayed on a great eating and exercise plan all year, right? Ok, so maybe you've got a little holiday weight hanging on still. No big deal. You don't have to say no to that great looking swimsuit – just spend some time at the spa! The Art of Life Community Health Center is ready to help you get a great start to the summer and inspire you to tone up that extra little bit so you can look and feel amazing. The doctors and staff at the Art of Life are experts in natural weight loss, including magnetic and infrared therapy, detox sessions and energy measurements – so they can personalize your experience and help you get into a routine that is right for you and your body. Rather than focus on crash dieting or harmful super-intense workouts, relaxing wraps and natural remedies are the order of the day here. This will get you in the right mindset for weight loss and healthy living – so you can enjoy that swimsuit not just this year, but next year as well...or at least until you fall in love with a new one! There's nothing like a regular routine to keep you on a healthy living track, and there's nothing like The Art of Life to help you get there quickly (and with today's offer, cheaply as well!)

So relax. Your swimsuit is as good as worn. Take the first step and try out today's deal at The Art of Life Community Health Center!

Practice of Mindfulness: The Meditator as a Scientist: Part 1

2011-03-28T10:47:00.002-07:00

Brochure: The Evolution of Success: Radical Growth: The Practice of Mindfulness
Lou Carcasole B.Sc, M.B.A, M.Ed

Part 1 - Three Essential Qualities

A useful way to think about Mindfulness Meditation is to think of it in much the same way as you would think about any science. Because, in fact, that is exactly what it is. And, when you begin to practice Mindfulness Meditation, you are becoming a scientist.

The parallels between science and meditation are very strong. Science is about the investigation through observation and experimentation, of the physical world - that is to say, the objective reality around us. Mindfulness is about the investigation through observation and experimentation, of the internal, subjective world within us - the world of our own thoughts and feelings.

For good science, three things are essential: 1) sensory extending devices; 2) patience and discipline; and, 3) objectivity. With only our ordinary senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, we would have a fairly rudimentary or gross understanding of what the physical world was all about. As devices like microscopes, telescopes, sensitive radio scopes and so on were developed, they allowed us to look more deeply and to go farther in our exploration of the physical world, leading to discoveries that could never have happened with just the ordinary senses. As well, a scientist needs to train his or her attention and instruments on the phenomenon under investigation, and leave it there long enough to make meaningful observations. If the scientist were to continually shift his or her attention from one phenomenon of interest to another every few seconds, it is very unlikely that they would develop much of an understanding of any one of them. Finally, a scientist needs to have objectivity. Science is supposed to be a rather dispassionate discipline where the role of the scientist is to observe accurately, measure and record precisely, postulate hypothesis, and test their validity. Their role is to uncover the laws of nature through their science without judgment or preference.

Mindfulness Meditation is the same. The same qualities are required for good meditation. The first of these is the ability to look more deeply into subjective phenomenon. This is necessary if one is to gain deeper insights into its nature. However, unlike the scientist, mechanical tools like the microscope are not available to the meditator. He or she has to build his or her own. The way to do this is to develop the capacity of the ordinary senses to perceive – the ability to be aware. This is done through exercise. Much the same way as any muscle can be developed through regular, systematic exercise, so too can our ‘muscle’ of awareness be built up.

The second thing a good meditator requires is focus or concentration power. Much like the poor scientist who is to easily distracted, one of the first insights that new meditators have is the wandering or monkey mind. As they attempt to focus their awareness on a seemingly simple aspect of their subjective experience, such as the sensations associated with the breath, they discover just how difficult this is to do. The mind can hardly be still for even a few seconds. It wanders or jumps from thought to thought, from worrying about the past, to planning for the future, to fantasy. In fact, the mind is hardly ever focused on what is really taking place in the present moment. Without some level of concentration power to be able to observe what is going on long enough, deeper understandings of our subjective world are unlikely.

And, finally, like the good scientist, a good meditator needs to bring a quality of impartiality to the phenomenon under observation. We go through much of our life grasping for that which is pleasant and avoiding that which is unpleasant. This pushing and pulling against experience creates tension within us - tension that distorts our ability to clearly see what is really going on within and around us. For example we say that ‘Love is blind’ and we speak of ‘Blind rage’. These may be more extreme emotions, however, even more subtle levels of attachment or irritation (mild rage), or anxiety (fear) bring about some level of blindness or distortion. A meditator's task is to develop the quality or skill of equanimity - a stance of impartiality in observing what’s happening in our subjective experience without judgment and without reacting with grasping or aversion.

We continue our publishing of Lou Carcasole’s article The Meditator as a Scientist. Here is the last installment.

“…when you begin to practice Mindfulness Meditation, you are becoming a scientist.”
Lou Carcasole

Part 2 - The Road to New Type of Learning

What is the purpose of all this? Anyone who has tried Mindfulness Meditation knows that it is a very challenging activity. It requires great effort. Well, here again, the scientific analogy comes in handy. We know that as science has progressed, it has given us deeper and deeper understandings about the workings of nature. These deeper understandings have led to all sorts of discoveries in the fields of medicine, chemistry, biology, and other areas of science. These discoveries have improved our lives in so many ways. In the same way, as we are able to look more deeply into the subjective experience - the world of our own thoughts and feelings - discoveries and insights regarding how we live our lives, come to us. Discoveries which may appear to be illogical from others’ descriptions, such as the possibility of experiencing pain without it turning into suffering, become clear when we are able to have such experiences directly for ourselves. As we look back on the progression of science, say in the area of biology, would anyone have believed that all life, including plant life, shared the common feature of a cellular structure? There was likely a time, and probably not so long ago, that anyone seriously promoting such a view might have been accused of heresy and been at risk for their life. It wasn’t until microscopes were developed that enough people were able to see for themselves, that this became a generally accepted scientific fact.

Even so, we can say that there are two types of knowledge. There is a certain knowledge that we get from books, or from listening to others leading to a level of acceptance on the conceptual level. You know - the knowledge comes with a certain authority behind it (such as from the school system) that we have no reason to disbelieve it. However, there is another type of learning which is far, far more powerful. This is the learning that comes to us through our own direct experience. Imagine, if you will, that you are colour blind. We might learn about colour in school. Green might be described to us in terms of its frequency range on the light spectrum. It might be described qualitatively as ‘cool, soothing’, and so on. We would have no reason to disbelieve that the colour green existed. In fact, we ourselves might even become somewhat experts in the colour green and teach about its properties to others. All of that would pale in comparison if one day, we were to develop the capacity to actually see green with our own eyes. It would be mind blowing. Now, we would know what green was all about. This is the way it is with Mindfulness. The road to this kind of learning is one which each individual must take his or herself. It doesn’t matter how many books about Mindfulness you read. It doesn’t matter how many gifted, enlightened teachers you listen to. It doesn’t matter how many classes or retreats you attend. If you don’t put in much effort to develop the skills of awareness, concentration, and equanimity of the internal scientist to have your own direct experiences, little of the more powerful kind of learning will occur.

Mindfulness is something anyone can learn - anyone can do. It doesn’t require great intellect. It doesn’t require going to exotic places or doing exotic things. All that is required is a willingness to make an effort - an effort to be still for a little while and to look inside.

Bio: Ludmila Panasenko

Company: The Art of Life Community Health Centre

In the Ukraine, Ludmila Panasenko studied and achieved her doctorate in Geophysics at an early age. As a wife and mother of two small children, her life was turned upside down by the death of her husband in a terrorist attack, and then again by the fateful Chernobyl nuclear accident. By this time she had earned a Management Diploma from a British University, and had refocused her career plans on Financial Management. Preferring to remove her children from an unhealthy radioactive environment, she made the difficult decision to leave her country of birth, and emigrated to Canada to start a new life. Her first posting was as professor of the Business Mathematics at Centennial College; five years ago, she has become the founder and CEO of The Art of Life Health Centre. The Art of Life has been operating successfully for several years, with the help of a whole number of volunteers who have become a perfect team striving to provide help to the community. Recently this business has been changed into a not-for-profit Community Health Centre, whose mission is to restore health, to educate people in disease prevention and wellbeing, and to integrate wellness into society. The Centre also takes pride in connecting people from many different cultural traditions, as well as organizing family, youth, and children’s programs.

Publisher: The Women's Post is a magazine designed for professional women.

Why is health care reform a women's issue?
What are the issues for women?

Introducing Our New Doctor Tara Tweg, DC

2010-12-29T18:45:00.001-08:00

Photo: Doctor Tara Tweg, Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)

My name is Dr. Tara Tweg. I was born and raised in Toronto. I have been practicing Chiropractic for over 20 years in Australia and Ontario.

For the last ten years, I have predominately been dealing with patients that have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. I recently became certified by the American Medical Association in Impairment Ratings.

I practice a combination of Diversified, Activator Technique, Trigger Point Therapy, and S.O.T. (sacro-occipital technique). S.O.T. is so named because of the relationship between the Sacrum (base of the spine) and the Occiput (base of the skull). It uses wedge shaped blocks to realign the spine. There are only a few certified practitioners of S.O.T. in Ontario.

Cranialsacral massage was derived from Sacro-Occipital Technique. This is a gentle form of body work appropriate for evaluating and treating a wide variety of soft tissue and neurological issues for newborns, children, and adults.

I prefer to diagnose and identify the cause of a problem, address the root of the trouble, and not merely treat the symptoms. People who suffer from headaches/migraines, back pain, jaw pain, fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, stiff necks and other joint pains can all benefit.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your health goals at The Art of Life Community Health Centre.

Successful Pain Management and Treatment of Pain: Part 2

2010-12-21T17:20:00.000-08:00

The Art of Life Community Health Centre
Managing and Curing Your Pain
The Epoch Times: B3 - Health, Dec 16 - 22, 2010

Managing and Curing Your Pain

Interferential Current Therapy (IFC)
Do you experience your back as a hard uneven surface with lowered muscular elasticity reduced neck and shoulder range of motion and highly painful trigger-points? Alternately, you may suffer from sciatic nerve inflammation or some other neuromuscular pain. You probably will not find any better therapeutic solution for these conditions than 3D Interferential Current Therapy (IFC). The innovative methodology of IFC provides a rhythmical shift in interferential field causing a significant anti-inflammatory effect by penetrating into a very deep cellular level. This state-of-the-art equipment provides a great number of specific therapeutic programs that are selected for different purposes, among these are sedation therapy, myokinetic activation, pain reduction, stimulation of blood circulation, stabilization of the vegetative nervous system, and local anesthesia. Acute patients are actually able to feel results just after their initial treatment!

Furthermore, certain cases of partial muscle paralysis or muscle degenerations and reduced join functioning have actually been cured with use of the interferential current therapy making it one of the most effective electrotherapy at the present time. Interferential current therapy (IFC) has the potential to restore muscles contracted over long periods of time, as well as inflamed ligaments damaged by long-term squeeze of the peripheral nerves. IFC stimulation is not only a revolution in the treatment of chronic pain but our therapists, at the Art of Life community health centre, believe that this effective therapeutic stimulation is the best method to pain relief in the treatment of a spinal cord injury or a neuromuscular affliction.

Far Infra Red (FIR)
Another therapeutic technology offered by our therapists is called Far Infra Red (FIR). This modern healing technology was developed by Japanese scientists and it is based on the ancient principles of the IR rays’ absorption by our body providing natural (somebody could say ecological) relief from long-term pain. Knowing whether a problem is in a chronic back or neck pain, migraine, rheumatoid join pain, a complicated or improper-healed bone fracture, fibromyalgia, a discomfort of eczema or psoriasis, all of these problems can be treated with our FIR medical equipment.

Radial Shock Wave Treatment (RSWT)
And last but not least, if you suffer from salt deposits and tendon calcifications, if you have painful spurs in your joints or a frozen shoulder or, if you experience a painful “trigger point” reaction, you will no longer need a surgery procedure to correct these problems. There is an innovative therapeutic technology, providing a non-invasive, outpatient alternative to surgery, called Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT). The medical application of RSWT for the treatment of the trigger points provides amazing results. This effective technology utilizing high-energy, short wavelength sound waves, called shockwaves, was invented by Swiss engineers for fast and effective post-traumatic rehabilitation of Olympic athletes. The RSWT therapy has been used in Switzerland with great success for more than 10 years, and recently, the RSWT treatment has been introduced at the Art of Life Community Health Centre for the cure of our patients. With taking advantage of the Radial Shock Wave therapy any of these problems could be cured for only three sessions of five to ten minutes each.

Studies of the Radial Shock Wave Therapy show:

The success rate of this treatment is up to 80%, greater than of surgery.
Most patients feel no pain during the treatment, and practically complete pain relief is observed within eight to ten days after the treatment.
RSWT therapy does not require the use of anesthesia during the procedure.

As we mentioned before, this technology is based on utilizing high-energy acoustic waves and is similar to a non-invasive method which currently being used in urology practice for breaking up kidney stones. However, the use of the ultrasonic wave in the radial direction makes the procedure much more comfortable.

The Radial Shock Wave Therapy works both mechanically and chemically, and it allows the human body to use its own healing mechanism by stimulating a process of regeneration of new and healthy cells and evacuation of the sick cells in the affected areas of the body. As a result, the RSWT therapy has been known to help speed up the healing process tremendously.
The Swiss DolorClast® medical device is one of the many other options available to our doctors and therapists to diagnose and help you to cure the root of your pain.

We Want to Help You to Eliminate Your Pain
Pain can make you feel like a convict “being chained” to your disease. If you have been suffering from severe chronic pain for months or even years then a precise diagnosis and treatment is an essential key to your freedom from pain and for your future well-being. At the Art of Life centre all of the described treatments are combined with naturopathic and homeopathic practices, as well as particular types of medical and sports massages. Our uniquely designed full treatment plan that combines a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment will help you to not only eliminate the pain, but also causes of the illness itself.

Managing and Curing Your Pain
The Epoch Times: B3 - Health, Dec 16 - 22, 2010

Managing and Curing Your Pain

Regrettably to say that almost 30% of all Canadians experience chronic physical pain. The more deeply the problem progresses, the more our social and physical activities suffer; eventually this reflects on our career and income. Despite these facts, most of the time we don’t even go to the doctor! Little by little we give in to the pain, changing our life style accordingly, learning how to avoid painful activities and movements. We resort to pain killer several times a day just to obtain relief for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, in this way we pollute our bodies with harmful toxins, which in the long term will double the pain we might otherwise experience.

Role of Pain Management
It is a well-known fact that the body does not represent the organism with random messages. Every body sensation has its own natural function and goal – in case of pain and discomfort, that goal is to attract our attention to a site which needs our immediate help. Pain is an S.O.S. signal, a warning signal of danger that needs to be heard and correctly interpreted. Clearly, then, our attempts to ignore or suppress the pain are not very practical.
What is the role of pain management? The ideal situation would be to alleviate the cause of the myriad pain symptoms and syndromes. In the face of today’s lifestyles and habits, this can be a complex issue; however, there are many new aspects in research and development of therapies which can change the way we treat and manage our acute and chronic body pain.

The Art of Life Community Health Centre
We at The Art of Life, Toronto’s non-for-profit community health centre, intensely study comprehensive pain management technologies from Canada, Europe, Japan and Israel. With the frequent acquisition of newly-developed equipment, the great team of our therapists is able to offer to our patients state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies and equipment that in combination with naturopathic and homeopathic practices, modern physiotherapeutic machines, as well as with unique types of medicinal and sport massage will not only just manage your pain but also, it will cure your problems and as a result, pain will disappear.

Back and Shoulder Pain
As an example, let us take a look at back and shoulder pain. Virtually every individual of any age, occupying any one of thousands of careers, working at a desk and especially, in front of a computer for the whole day, as well as participating in various sport and physical activities, is likely to suffer from periodic or chronic back and shoulder pain would benefit from professional health care. This pain could originate from many sources: an old injury which was never treated, a recent strain on an already weak or damaged muscle, even broken bones that were not healed properly. Other possible causes may include damaged vertebrae, hernia, muscle contraction, ligament or fascia inflammation and calcification, to name a few.

Disk Degeneration or Spinal Hernia
Do you have disk degeneration or spinal hernia? A new generation of physiotherapeutic equipment based on a very low frequency pulsating magnetic field combined with the newest infrared technology (880 nanometers (nm)) shows extraordinary results for these diagnoses. This dual action delivered by the Combitron (combined magnetic biostimulation and infrared rays’ device) provides a whole spectrum of achievements. It will halt the ongoing inflammation process or degenerative disk changes in your vertebrae. Moreover, it will stimulate the detoxification of the affected area and promote regeneration of new and healthy issue. According to a recent study, anti-inflammatory effect of healing with the Combitron is several times faster than any other type of low-frequency electromagnetic therapy. In most cases, at the same time the symptoms of pain are considerably reduced or completely eliminated after just two treatments as the afferent signals from peripheral tissue causing the pain are being blocked.

In our next article we will help you to find relief from chronic pain using other therapeutic solutions of The Art of Life Community Health Centre.

This program when put into practice is guaranteed to facilitate dynamic and transformational shifts for the family.

"A Teacher affects eternity,
He/She can never tell where
their influence stops."
Henry Adams

So now you may ask who falls into that category of "Teacher". Of course, our first thought by definition is our classroom teacher. Then, there is the parent, the grandparent, the aunt or uncle, the babysitter and the next-door neighbor.

We are hearing this term more and more often, "It takes a village to raise a child."
We know, however, that any caregiver who plays a role in the development of a child is considered their teacher.

The changing paradigm includes creating an environment where both you and your child are comfortable to learn, to share, and to be. It is about being a good watcher, listener and facilitator. It is about giving as well as receiving.

"Teaching" is about creating a practice, which includes the development of the mind, body and spirit. In the development of a life practice, we look to incorporate, a self-practice, a learning practice, a practice that nurtures positive relationships. and a practice of following our intuition.

The new picture is about understanding the role the body plays (a sensory experience) and the role the mind plays, (thoughts and interpretations of our senses), the role that spirit plays, (decision making and discernment regarding who we are as unique human beings and what we are here to accomplish).

"Teaching" is about developing structure, organization and setting limits. It is about adapting our teaching/parenting/management style to the temperaments and learning styles of our children. It is about acknowledging the art and science of learning and to get to know our students unique interests and abilities. It is about seeing ourselves as counselors, guides and motivators based on the information that they tell us about themselves.

"Teaching" is about working to get a better understanding of who we are, learning to look inside and work with those things that block our abilities to achieve our goals and look for the ways that will nurture our relationships with our kids.

Each and every time we learn something new about ourselves and put it into PRACTICE, then we are becoming more effective teachers.

This is "EMPOWERMENT" and this is who we are as "TEACHERS".

"...Simply speaking, to be a Parent is to take on the most challenging job the universe has to offer. Parenting is all about “life,” and what is “life” but something that just happens at any moment? Well, the same is true for our kids, who are experiencing “life” just as we are. The BIG difference is that now they are happening to all of us and “life’ is now affecting what we call “a family.”

The Art of NIA Dance

The Art of NIA Dance with Jane

Her father was a legendary healer. Her mother was a great and artistic beauty. In Nia, Jane has found her place in her generation and community.

She was dancing in utero, reports her mother. As a child, she was invited to study with the little boys and girls at the Royal Ballet School in London, England, but preferred to stay at home in Toronto to train. As she matured, her body departed from the standards required by the National Ballet, and she spent years nursing dance injuries and grieving the loss of her greatest hope. Later, as a career schoolteacher, she was instrumental in bringing Dance to the Ontario school system as a secondary credit course. She has since served as Head of Dance at the prestigious Claude Watson High School for the performing arts, and authored a pedagogic textbook for teachers of dance in Ontario.

Enter Nia…..Neuromuscular Integrative Awareness…..the merging of magic, music and medicine into a single alchemic practice. Nia embraces all aspects of holistic, systemic movement, delighting practitioners and changing lives.

While in her forties, Jane found a Nia class in her local community centre, and began to study, train and teach in realms she had only imagined. Currently she has achieved the highest level of teacher training, with the earning of a Nia Black Belt in July of 2009. Her classes synthesize music, movement, kinaesthetic mindfulness, sensory awareness, and poetic readiness; she explores both form and freedom with her students, who come in search of fun, fitness, healing, self-knowledge, and community.

Jane’s students meet every Thursday evening for a class at 7:30 pm. Classes finish with silent personal reflections on world, community, and calendar events. Recent themes have included self-love, vision, flexibility, and the nature of giving - all evolving from mindful, transformational dance. Thus, lively movement is taken inward to influence the neurochemistry of daily experience, thus healing mind, body, heart and spirit. Jane calls this The Work of Nia, and it is being done all over the world.

"Love is in the air", she smiles. "I love all my classes, and my Art of Life Nia sessions are really special for me."

H1N1 Flu Virus Prevention and Treatment: Our Naturopathic Doctor's Approach

2009-11-14T20:03:00.000-08:00

Flyer: H1N1 Flu Virus Prevention and Treatment
Author: Dr. Liudmyla Gerus, ND

H1N1 Flu Virus Prevention and Treatment

Symptoms of H1N1
Similar to seasonal influenza (flu) including: headache, chills and cough followed by fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and fatigue, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation.
In some cases nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur in adults as well as in children.
In more severe cases, or in people with chronic conditions, complications such as pneumonia may develop.

Support your immune system
Be an early bird – book a prevention appointment with your Naturopathic Doctor to prepare for flu season
Food – eating a diet high in essential fats, complex carbohydrates and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Hands off – avoid touching your face. Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly.
Get a full night's sleep – rest regenerates your body. Make your health a priority.
Keeping your barrier intact – mucous membranes (such as the lining of nose) must be moist. Check how work your humidifiers at home and at work.
Prophylaxis – with direct delivery aerosols of natural remedies into upper respiratory tracts nose, mouth and lungs.

If you do start to feel sick
Less and light eating helps your body use its energy to fight the virus rather than on digestion. Avoid sugar because it lowers your immune system and dairy products they increase mucous production.
Drink up. Keep well hydrated with water, tea, vegetable broths and diluted juices, while limiting dehydrating fluids like alcohol and coffee.
Sleep it off. Your body is working overtime when fighting a virus. Plenty of good rest is essential as your body is able to focus energy on defense mechanisms while you sleep.
Immune-supporting natural remedies vitamins (A, C, D, E), minerals (Ca, Zn), herbs (Echinacea) and homeopathics will help you to support immune system and relieve symptoms.
Parenteral therapy – more advanced technique that can be done by specially trained professional or ND only in clinic environment. It is delivery of natural remedies directly into blood vessels and will boost immune system, prevent decease or faster recovery if you are already sick.

If you are experiencing these symptoms you should immediately contact your health care provider, including your Naturopathic Doctor (ND), or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000.

A Naturopathic Doctor can help you support your immune system with a natural approach to health. A strong immune system not only reduces the risk of getting sick, but may also reduce the severity of illness if you do get sick.

Stay in Good Health with Us!

Stress as you know is a killer. It prevents us from being our most effective selves, and it destroys our well-being.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program is a meditation based program for learning healthier ways of confronting life's challenges resulting in a reduction of the amount of stress in one's life. It is NOT A STRESS MANAGEMENT technique. Over time one notices that things that use to stress them don't do so as much or at all any more.
It can be especially helpful to those who experience: anxiety and depression; chronic pain and illness; cardiac disease; the demands of care giving; life threatening illness; grief; spiritual emptiness and difficulty finding balance in current cultural lifestyles. Mindfulness practice teaches us to break old harmful patterns and develop positive attitudes and healthy behaviors. It is the practice of living more fully present in each moment.
This course is modelled on the program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and is guided by Lou Carcasole, (B.Sc., MBA, M.Ed.) who began practicing Mindfulness in 1987, trained with Kabat-Zinn, and has been teaching it for over ten years.

Whether you want to perform at a higher level or learn how to cope with stress, pain and suffering - this course is for you.

MBSR 8-week course starts on Wednesday, October 7th at 7:30 pm.

For more information or to register please call (416) 449-6747 or e-mail at office@theartlife.ca.

Diagnostics by Voll Method and Modern Physiotherapy: Key Concepts

2009-08-07T09:53:00.000-07:00

Can we help you? Diagnostics by Voll method can help you to discover the condition of your health by touching specific points on the hands and feet.

Modern physiotherapy, acupuncture and homeopathy provide a safe, natural and effective treatment according to the results of diagnostics by Voll method.

Indications of Acupuncture, Homeopathy and Modern Physiotherapy:
Pain syndromes: neck, lower back, joint pain
Ligament sprains and muscle strains
Allergy reaction: polynosis, asthma
Arthritic and arthrosis conditions
Gastrointestinal diseases: ulcers, hepatitis, pancreatitis, colitis, cholecystitis
Gynecological diseases: fertility problems, adnexitis
Hormonal disorders
Pediatric diseases
Accident injuries
Neurological conditions including strokes, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, insomnia
Cardiorespiratory conditions
Urinary tract infections: prostatitis, cystitis
Nose, ear and throat problems: tonsillitis, otitis, pharyngitis
Skin problems: dermatitis, acne
Sexual dysfunction disorders
There are many different forms of treatment available. Take a look on relevant treatment options and their benefits:

1. Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is an alternative drug delivery system. By applying a low-level electrical current to a similarly charged drug solution, iontophoresis repels the drug ions through the skin to the underlying tissue. Iontophoresis is widely used for treating acute or sub-acute inflammatory conditions and acute flare-ups of chronic inflammatory conditions.

2. Laser Therapy: Quant Therapy
The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy units from infrared laser radiation, called photons, to damaged cells. The consensus of experts is that photons absorbed by the cells thought laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This biochemical compound composed of adenine, the sugar ribose, and three phosphate groups increase in cell energy is used to transform live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.

3. Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to produce heat that:
Reduces pain
Speeds metabolism and improves circulation
Breaks up and softens scar tissue and adhesions
Reduces chronic inflammation or swelling
Reduces irritation to nerve roots
Enhances the body's natural healing process
4. Shortwave Therapy
Shortwave therapy is the therapeutic application of high frequency electrical energy in either the electromagnetic or electrical field, commonly referred to as "diathermy" which is known for its heating effects. Vasodilation, increased circulation, increased out-flow of lymph, increased removal of waste products, relaxation of spastic muscles and an overall reduction of pain are attributed to therapeutic teat. Shortwave therapy facilitates exactly dosed and localized haeting of tissue areas both close to the surface and at depth.

5. Bioresonance Therapy: BRT
Bio resonance therapy is the correction of body's functions under influence of electromagnetic oscillations of strictly determined parameters, similarly to a camerton replying to a certain frequency spectrum of an acoustic wave. The main idea of applying resonance in medicine is that by a correct selection of frequency and a form of medicinal electromagnetic influence it's possible to amplify a normal physiological and attenuate pathological oscillation of the human body.

6. Acupuncture
Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.

7. Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a safe and effective system of natural healing that has been verified experimentally and clinically in the everyday lives of millions of people around the world for over 200 years. Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on the principle of similars or 'like cures like'. If a substance can cause symptoms in a healthy person, then it can also treat and remove similar symptoms in a sick person.
