All events are held at the Tree of Life Wellness Center unless noted.

We have become so reliant on our computers that it's difficult to imagine life without them. We even take them to the movie theater and wait to text someone about something important. Our bike rides and vacations are even computer invaded. I've been a tech lover for many years and the latest gadget is always on my wish list. Over the past month I've seen a lot of challenges with all of my computers and wow what an eye opener as to what we have and use these wonderful machines for. I've been paralyzed at times by the number of things that I couldn't access. So I would remind you to back your stuff up. In this weird world of energy you always want a copy just of all your stuff, just in case.

Also because last month our movie supplier had a glitch in their computer and didn't ship our Illusions movie we will actually be showing the movie June 21st at 7pm. You missed an amazing event with the Archangels. We loved this so much that we are bringing Fr. Jorge Egar back in October.

New at our center is Reader - Jeff Pool. This is a once a month event being held the 3rd Saturday. Call our center for your appointment to get more info about where things are clogged, need some additional guidance on what's next, want some clarity on an issue you are in conflict with. Slots are limited so call early and bring a friend and get a discount.

There are some wonderful things coming up at the Tree of Life Center. I'll be brief and we'll see you soon!

Peace and Blessings,
Sheevaun

"Illusions" Movie Screening
Thursday  ~ June 21 @ 7pm
Donations accepted

This award-winning movie, starring legendary actor Kirk Douglas, tells the story of a once powerful but now ailing film director, Donald Baines. After a lifetime of rejecting his only son, Baines is “awakened” one night by the ghost of a dear, departed friend, who shows Baines mini-movies (Akashic records) of his illegitimate son’s life. On his deathbed, Baines is given the gift of redemption... along with an opportunity to help his son realize that the only person who could change his life was the father he never knew.
Douglas, the celebrated star of more than 80 films including SPARTACUS, gives the performance of a lifetime at age 88, despite suffering a stroke in 1996.  Now age 90, Douglas says, “ILLUSION appealed to me because I found something spiritual in it.  The man I played was not a very good guy throughout his life but he felt the need to do something good before he died. Playing this role was a great privilege.”

ALERT: Support Affordable, Quality Health Care for All
Watch Bill Mahar's interview with Michael Moore about his new movie "Sicko" and then take action in support of House Bill 676, The United States National Health Insurance Act, (Medicare For All), which would provide affordable, privately delivered, quality health care for all. Also watch clips from the movie and interview with Oprah. Click Here

The Act, sponsored by Rep. John Conyers and currently co-sponsored by 71 representatives, would provide medical coverage to all people in the U.S. while reducing over-all health care spending by 3%. In addition, the act requires the negotiation of prescription drug prices and conversion of the U.S. to a not-for-profit health care system. Read More

Today, the term “healthy videogame” is almost self-contradictory. By far and away the majority of videogames, including console and handheld console games, PC games, online games, and wireless games have some sort of violent action theme or component to them. Since the early 1990s, the number of new ultra-violent games has been steadily on the rise – as have been the concomitant statistics on adolescent violent crime. Read More...

Climb a Tree?
Recreational tree climbing is the latest way to commune with nature
Studies have shown that we are psychologically healthier when we spend time around trees and in woods. But time constraints and the stress of daily life often limit our interactions to a quick appreciation of the bottom few feet of a few trees from ground level. There is another way, a way that utilizes rope and modern techniques to rekindle this ancient relationship: Recreational Tree Climbing (RTC). By Harv "Ponderosa" Teitelbaum

PRODUCT PLUNDER OF THE WEEK: 
CANCER-CAUSING BENZENE IN SODA DRINKS
The problem of cancer causing benzene turning up in sodas seems to pop up in the U.S. with alarming regularity. Last week, the FDA reported that it tested 100 sodas and found unacceptable levels of the known carcinogen in five of the drinks. Some of these drinks had benzene levels nearly 100 times that which is considered safe by the EPA for drinking water. The toxin is formed when a soda manufacturer uses two ingredients that can react to form benzene: ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. Soda companies found to have dangerous levels of benzene have vowed to reformulate their drinks. In the meantime, boycott the following beverages and consider avoiding any soda with the "toxic two" ingredients, found in an astoundingly high number of popular drinks. (As a note, beverages labeled as "organic" cannot contain these ingredients.)
Sodas Found to Contain Carcinogenic Benzene:
0. Safeway Select Diet Orange
0. AquaCal Strawberry Flavored Water Beverage
0. Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange
0. Giant Light Cranberry Juice Cocktail
0. Crush Pineapple

PAPER OR PLASTIC?
SAN FRANCISCO MAY BE FIRST IN NATION TO REGULATE GROCERY BAGS 
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering a measure that would require grocery stores with annual sales of at least $2 million to provide customers with grocery bags made of recyclable paper, plastic that can be turned into compost, or sturdy cloth or plastic that can be reused. Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, who wrote the measure says, "By doing so, we will save millions of dollars for city coffers and for our refuse rate payers." Supervisors also note the reduction of fossil fuels needed to make plastic bags, litter in the streets, and refuse that chokes wildlife. If the measure passes, it will be implemented in as short as six months and will likely create a domino effect for other municipalities around the U.S.

CHIA SEEDS: FUNNY NAME, SERIOUS NUTRITION
Superior to Flax Seed, Rich in Omega Acids
Chia seeds have a funny name, but there’s nothing comical about the nutritional benefits of this tiny seed. Want to learn more about chia seeds? Good Cause Wellness has just published a free 16-page report on the benefits of chia seeds with dozens of recipes. It can be downloaded at http://www.GoodCauseWellness.com 

If you’re using flax seeds, consider switching to chia seeds for their superior nutrition and ease of use. Chia seeds have the highest percent of combined Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids of any plant, including flax seeds. Plus, chia seeds offer 38% more fiber and 247% more calcium, with less calories and sodium than flax seeds and no cholesterol. Chia seeds are easier to use and more versatile than flax seeds. Because chia seeds have much higher antioxidant levels than flax seeds, chia seeds don’t go rancid like flax.

Climate Counts movie: http://www.climatecounts.org

More than half the water consumed in the U.S. is used to raise animals for food. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat, but only 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat. A totally vegetarian diet requires 300 gallons of water per day, while a meat-eating diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water per day.

More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to grow crops to feed animals raised for meat, and another acre of trees disappears every eight seconds. The tropical rain forests are also being destroyed to create grazing land for cattle. Fifty-five square feet of rain forest may be razed to produce just one quarter-pound burger.

PRODUCT PLUNDER OF THE WEEK:
ANTIBACTERIAL HAND CLEANSERS
A new study published on the Environmental Science & Technology research website found that triclosan, a widely used ingredient in antibacterial hand sterilization products, combines with chlorine in tap water to make the toxin chloroform. The researchers found that people using these products would be exposed to chloroform levels 40 percent higher than that found in tap water. Chloroform is a toxic chemical and a probable carcinogen. Previous studies have shown that the overuse of antibacterial soaps produces "super bacteria" that are able to survive exposure to antibacterial products. It is recommended that such products be used on limited and minimal levels.

TIP OF THE WEEK:
FIVE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT WHEN SHOPPING
This month's issue of E Magazine includes interviews with leading advocates for ecological shopping, including OCA's Environmental Scientist Craig Minowa. Here are five quick tips for becoming a green shopper:
0. Switch to environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. The use of conventional cleaners exposes your family and our environment to some very nasty toxic chemicals.
0. If you buy only one or two organic items, make them milk and meat. Most conventional milk and meat are produced on factory farms that feed their animals massive amounts of pesticide and fossil-fuel intensive conventional corn, at the same time creating massive manure lagoons that contaminate local ground water.
0. Be as conscious about the packaging as you are about the product. The production and disposal of packaging takes a heavy environmental toll. You can eliminate 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year by simply reducing your waste by 10%. While you're at it, bring your own shopping bags.
0. Buy local and regional, or at least USA-grown, whenever possible, to reduce energy and pollution from long transportation. But of course some products are not produced in the US.. For overseas products, look for the organic and Fair Trade label.
0. Buy in bulk. If you regularly buy a certain product, consider buying it in bulk. It usually has less packaging, is more affordable, and requires fewer trips to the store.

PRODUCT PLUNDER OF THE WEEK:
PET FOOD CONTAMINATION MOVES INTO USA MEAT SUPPLY
The pet food poisoning scandal that has prompted the largest recall of pet foods in history has spread into the livestock and meat sector. This week, the USDA admitted that the contaminated food ingredients that have killed thousands of pets across the U.S. were also used to feed hogs and chickens that have already been processed and eaten by several million Americans. Over three million chickens and pigs have consumed the tainted food. Although there have been no government studies done on the toxicity of this contamination, the FDA claims the risk is low. It’s important to note that organic animal feed was not contaminated in this latest incident, underlining the obvious point that pet owners and meat eaters should give preference to safer, more nutritious organic products (find organic pet foods here).

Birth Control Alternative or Fertility Enhancer


* You're trying to become pregnant.
* You're trying to avoid pregnancy.
* You want to determine whether you're ovulating.
* You want to enhance your awareness of your menstrual cycles.

During a woman's menstrual cycle, there are only about three days when her egg is available for fertilization. Sperm can survive up to 72 hours (3 days) in the vagina and uterus, so if sexual intercourse occurs up to three days before a woman is fertile, she can still potentially become pregnant. Thus, there are about six days per month (3 days prior to fertility, and 3 days of fertility) that a woman can conceive.

It is scientifically well established that hormones filter into saliva and that during fertility a ferning pattern can be seen in saliva under a high powered magnification lens. Just prior to or during fertile days the sample will typically resemble "ferns," while during non-fertile days, only random and shapeless dots will be visible.

The Ovu-Tech is a hand-held mini-magnification lens about the size and shape of a lipstick holder. If you want to check whether you may be fertile, you simply:

1. Make sure you haven't had anything to eat or drink for 2 hours.
2. Put a small amount of saliva on the lens and allow it to dry.
3. Insert the lens into the magnification lens and push a little button to illuminate the lens.

If you are just about to become fertile or if you are fertile, you will easily see a beautiful crystalline ferning pattern under the magnification lens. This is an easy and convenient way for you to monitor your hormonal changes and enhance your awareness of your menstrual cycle. If you track your cycles and fertility on a calendar, soon you will have a keen awareness of where you are in your monthly cycle, and what is happening hormonally in your body.

Cycle awareness can be especially helpful for women who tend to have anovulatory cycles (no ovulation occurs and thus there is infertility, and no progesterone is made). If you know that you haven't ovulated in any given cycle, and thus your ovary won't be producing progesterone, you can then supplement with progesterone that month and avoid estrogen dominance symptoms such as PMS.

The ovulation kits that measure hormones in urine to determine fertility tend to be expensive, messy, and can only be used once. In contrast, at the cost of not much more than one ovulation kit, the Ovu-Tech can be used over and over, and has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Magnification lenses for only $29.99 each (plus $3.00 Shipping and Handling). 1-800-528-0559

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

This is NOT a paid advertisement. I really believe that this tiny microscope offers a practical option for those who are currently using birth control pills yet seek a more reliable form of contraception. This will greatly aid that effort. It is hard to go wrong for $33 and it completely reusable. That is about the cost of one month’s worth of birth control pills.

This option is also completely non-toxic. When tracking the days of the menstrual cycle, the first day of menstruation, or bleeding, is called day 1 of that cycle. The cycle ends when the next period begins, anywhere between day 17 and 35 (with most women it's around day 28). The egg may become available for fertilization by sperm at anywhere from day 3 to day 14 of the cycle.

Interactive healing videos transcend gaming
by Cate Montana

Today, the term “healthy videogame” is almost self-contradictory. By far and away the majority of videogames, including console and handheld console games, PC games, online games, and wireless games have some sort of violent action theme or component to them. Since the early 1990s, the number of new ultra-violent games has been steadily on the rise – as have been the concomitant statistics on adolescent violent crime.

The flip side to this grim trend is a movement to improve the mental and physical health and well being of gamers through product use. Leading the vanguard is The Wild Divine Project in Eldorado Springs, Colorado, which produces positive transformational multi-media products as well as different genres of healing music through its recording label, Healing Rhythms. Its flagship product, The Journey to Wild Divine, is a sumptuous interactive videogame and biofeedback program designed to teach people how to reduce stress, deepen relaxation and develop their imaginal and creative abilities.

Last month, the company released a new product,Healing Rhythms, the first whole-body wellness program to bring together three of the most prominent leaders in the field of health and wellness – Deepak Chopra, M.D., Dean Ornish, M.D. and Andrew Weil, M.D. An exquisitely produced and interactive 15-step biofeedback training Program, Healing Rhythms gives individuals the tools to help build a happy mind and a healthy body.

“One of the most important tools you can incorporate into your daily life to affect not only the longevity of your life, but the quality of your life, is a deeper, slower breathing practice,” says - Dr. Andrew Weil. “The exercises in Healing Rhythms do just that.”

While the medical experts guide the meditation and breathing exercises, users can either watch the sumptuous screen imagery that accompanies each exercise, or switch the screen to monitor their bodies’ responses. A biofeedback unit attached to the fingers of one hand measures skin conductance and heart rate variability. The input drives the various biofeedback challenges, such as learning to juggle balls with your laughter, build a stairway with your breath, and meditate to open doors. As proficiency increases, so does the difficulty level of each video challenge. Eventually, as you begin to master your new skills with the game, you become comfortable practicing them in your everyday life.

Headed by founder Kurt Smith and chief design director Corwin Bell, The Wild Divine Project is the result of their mutual vision of creating healing products that are interactive, empowering and accessible to the general public. Their goal is to engender greater self-awareness in individuals in order to support the development of a peaceful, more highly conscious world.

“We’re really here because we believe in our mission of trying to deliver tools to people that can help them transform their lives, and for them to do it themselves,” says Smith, a Ph.D. biomedical engineer. “There is a quantum effect - the more and more people that are actually spending some time discovering themselves and cultivating their own awareness of what reality really is; the more people we have doing that, then there is a meta-network effect in terms of collective consciousness.


Kurt Smith (right) and Corwin Bell
“It’s really about self responsibility. How can I, individually, make a difference? And the more people we get off the street corners carrying their flags and yelling [for their causes], and into their meditation studios, the more effect it will have.”

The business partnership started when Smith left Medtronics, one of the world’s largest biomedical manufacturers, and started looking for a way to create an in-home, self-care health device. He went rock climbing one day with his new neighbor Bell , who had a masters degree in communication and graphic arts, and years of work in the commercial film and advertising industries. Bell started talking about his dream of developing a computer-based biofeedback device for consumers that would be fun and yet health effective. It was a perfect match. Smith started the corporation and together they set up a design studio deep in the Colorado backcountry. The mission? To create a world that could transport players into deeper self-awareness and a higher realm of consciousness.

”The concept in gaming is called telepresence,” says Bell. “The Holy Grail of gaming is being able to get the person that has a presence outside the computer screen, and all of a sudden, you work it so that the screen itself kind of dissolves into a projection; they teleport their presence into this virtual space. And from then on it’s them…. You are in there, and it is affecting you.”

Although it is common knowledge in the gaming industry that heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and adrenaline levels increase when a gamer is shooting his or her way out of some fantastic firefight, most companies - much like the tobacco industry - deny their fantasy murder and mayhem products adversely affect juvenile and adult fans over the long term. The vast majority of studies, however, indicate that the net cumulative affect of using violent games is significant – and negative.

“Violent video games are significantly associated with increased aggressive behavior, thoughts, and affect; increased physiological arousal; and decreased pro-social (helping) behavior,” says Craig A. Anderson, a Ph.D. psychologist and member of the Executive Council of the International Society for Research on Aggression. “High levels of violent video game exposure have been linked to delinquency, fighting at school and during free play periods, and violent criminal behavior (e.g., self-reported assault, robbery).”

Unlike mainstream games which trigger adrenaline-based fight or flight physiological and emotional responses, The Journey to Wild Divine’s effects and, of course, those of Healing Rhythms, are uplifting and turned to positive use. As people learn that their emotions and other responses to the exercises affect them, they learn to control and direct their responses via the biofeedback component of the game. They learn to become peaceful, calm, positively energetic and focused. They team with the machine, so to speak, on a journey of conscious growth.

“People’s whole thinking is transformed about what a computer can be as a tool for de-stressing, etc., and having mind blowing experiences,” says Smith.

Vive la difference

Currently, several clinical studies are being done to gauge the effectiveness of using The Journey to Wild Divine in different healing modalities. One acute pain study utilizing the game is being conducted by resident anesthesiologist Paul Lynch at New York University Medical Center.

“It's been shown that biofeedback is really good for chronic … long term pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, things like that,” says Lynch. “The acute research, like someone has surgery and then used biofeedback, there's much less data out there. So we wanted to do a study of the acute area to see if we could take people right after surgery and reduce the amount of pain they feel by having them go through these different exercises and stuff in the Wild Divine Project.”

This is precisely the kind of testing that needs to be done to bring self-healing tools like The Journey to Wild Divine to the attention of mainstream medical institutions, a market Smith wishes would develop more rapidly. Every year he and Bell go to the Games for Health conference which brings together companies in the gaming industry with medical doctors, but results from the conferences so far are lackluster.

“Everybody gets high-minded for a bit and says, ‘Wouldn’t it be great. We should be doing this and that.’ But, you know, we’re really the only product at that conference that people can point to and say, ‘Here’s an example. So, yes we are, in that sense, a role model for those kinds of things.”

“The difficulty is getting the people with that [typical gaming] attitude to try it in the first place,” says Smith. “But yeah, once they do – all of a sudden they discover that there’s something they can do to get an awareness of themselves. If we can kind of help cultivate those things in the users that acquire our product, then we will have done our job.”

Just a personal note and a few recommendations:

When I left the corporate community I decided it was important to ensure that I took time for living my life. One of the aspects of taking time for yourself is to plan on it and one of the most challenging things for me has been to plan ahead for it.

It seems that for the past several years that I have meditated for the evolution of my spiritual life and betterment of our center and too often left behind other aspects. So for the past several months I have been more mindful about those other aspects. One of the aspects of this time has been to re-emerge within the folds of Mother Nature.

Recently, I was stranded inside during a snow storm and reminded that to meditate on the wind and the falling snow was truly a wonder and joy from my childhood. There was no technology and I had to focus on the inner aspect of self and how the "I" and Mother Nature become intertwined allowing the being to become engulfed in whatever the weather brought. Through this stranding I hope to give you a little breath of fresh air and remind you to live more wholly as you and your being intertwine with Nature. So go hug a tree and tell it you love it, walk barefoot on the mowed grass and allow the stress to melt out of your body, turn your face to the sun and close your eyes and give thanks. If all you get is a drink of water then savor that drink because it came from Mother Nature allow the water to drizzle down your throat and rejoice that you have water.

Life brings joy in such little spaces that we almost miss them, so give it a second glance. See you soon and may your life have more Mother Nature moments.

Peace and God Bless,
Sheevaun

Aerosolization is a phenomenon that takes place when you flush a toilet. Bubbles form on the water's surface and then burst, shooting a fine, powerful spray of germ laden droplets into the air. The virus particles and bacteria then settle onto bathroom surfaces. Anything within six feet is covered with these: the sink, faucet, walls, door, doorknob, toothbrushes, soap and yourself. Close the lid before flushing the toilet.

Remember that Spiritual Cinema has the best movies to inspire you, create a thoughtful movie experience and just enjoy movies that you would otherwise get to see. Go to: http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com/?af=74717
