It does! To me, and especially to you.

These notes will help you with your health matters.

***Again, a quick reminder to do the MAR (contact me with questions, instructions). Get a real handle on where your health really is, and discover what to do about it. Solutions specific for you.

--------Feature Article--------

This statement came booming out at me this morning from across the cosmos, jolting me out of my sleepy early morning meditation time.

This is a strange way to begin a newsletter related to health, you say. And I agree. However, as we have often alluded or stated, healthy is a composite of the total existence, not just of the body alone. As one sage has said (and I paraphrase),

So, to be true to caring about your and my health, we must also address our spiritual state. As we enter the holiday season with Thanksgiving looming and Christmas (the Christ Mass) following quickly after, this is an appropriate time to turn our thoughts to spirit and soul and their role in our overall health.

But why this particular topic? Why forgiveness? And what does it all have to do with our fathers?

I am glad you asked.

First, you must put the statement in the context of the larger book, Wild At Heart, from which the quote is taken. The thesis of John's larger work and of this book in particular is that we are all wounded, deeply, profoundly, and AT THE POINT OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTH.

Second, the perpetrator of the wound is very often our father, ignorantly, with often the best of intentions, but just as often with immobilizing, defeating, devastating consequences in our life. These consequences can include besides emotional issues, physical and spiritual struggles as well.

The fact that the wound is often at our strength has profound implications. If we can get past the hurt of the wound(s) we can often find that chief purpose for which we are on the planet in the first place, that task, that being which resonates with our deepest self and brings us live, vigor, and joy.

John is not alone in this idea of forgiveness. "Keepers" of The Success Codes and The Healing Codes, Drs. Alex Loyd and Ben Johnson (http://www.thehealingcodes.com) list 12 qualities that we need to have manifest in our life to be successful and healthy. The first is - you guessed it - Forgiveness.

All of the "gurus" of wisdom for centuries have talked about forgiveness and the importance of letting go our issues with others to allow healing to flow to us.

Louise Hay, a current day healer, writer, has a book called "You Can Heal Your Life" and the main thesis of the first chapter is that all

dis-ease is a manifestation of unforgiveness.

So for what do we forgive our fathers? You will have your own list. Please make that list, do the exercise and throw it away, symbolically also throwing away all the hurts and wounds and anger that is preventing you from growing and healing. For many of us what we call wounds are as much our reaction to our own life, from our own personality perspective as it is something our fathers may actually have done.

For me personally it wasn't so much what my father did as what he didn't do. My reaction and personality felt very much neglected and rejected. That made me feel sorry for myself and has severely limited my ability to cope with the rest of life. I can admit all that, let it go, and let the healing balm of our Heavenly Father come and renew and bring the healing.

There's one other thing that Eldredge says that applies as well:

"Healing never happens outside of intimacy with Christ."

Wild At Heart, p. 128

Along with CranioSacral, we still do Myofascial and regular Swedish though we much prefer the emotional release work that helps you get further down your healing path. Another tool here includes EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. Again, this is an energetic approach that helps release the toxins of energy stuck in tissues from traumas and negative experiences we all suffer.

While you are here, if you wish, we can do the MAR and get a handle on the state of your physical self. By the time you leave you should have a clearer handle on where you are and what you can do to change that if you so desire. Spend a couple of hours, all day or several days, we have the options available that will fit your needs.

I have personally begun the nutrition and exercise program developed by my new friend, Joe Kasper. We introduced him last month. Twice a week I use his "toys" - rubber stretch bands of varying resistance and a large plastic ball - and so slow exercise. Amazing! Feel like a Mack truck knocked me over when I am done, but only doing slow, gentle movements. Along with the new, sensible Food Pyramid which he put together and in a couple of months I'll be zipping like never before! You can find him at

The amazing candle that burns cleanly, smells better than anything else and is healthy and non-toxic as well. One of our customers said:

"Jon, these candles are PHENOMENAL! Smelled great just in the box when they arrived in the mail!"

Everyone is talking about how wonderful they smell - the best ever discovered so far. I use them in my office. One votive lasts a couple of days, and makes my work space smell and feel like home, not like the office!

Work for any time of the year, but are especially wonderful gifts this time of the year.
