February, 2011 – This Valentine’s Day

Lighten Up with LisaLisa Dawn Wax

 

This Valentine’s Day I Share with you the Love and Light of the Munay-Ki

 

By Lisa Dawn Wax

 

Dear Readers,

 

I just recently took a three-day workshop to further my spiritual learning and understanding. It was a sacred journey of transformation where I learned not only additional ways to heal myself, but to heal others. It was a true gift that I would like to share with you for Valentine’s Day.

 

Until now all of my spiritual learning as a lightworker has come from various religious teachings, angelic messages and my reiki studies, but this workshop ventured into a new arena for me, Shamanism. Deeper study revealed that by definition, shaminism is an anthropoloigcal term referencing a range of beliefs and pracitices regarding communication with the spirit world. So, in truth, a shaman and a lightworker are one in the same; both being guided by Divine Spirit to help and heal others. Shamanism encompasses many different cultures globally just as religion, but all stem from and lead back to a Divine Source.

 

I received my introduction to the shamanic way via the Munay-Ki, which are a series of 9 rites of initiation common to the shamanic tradition for someone who wishes to become a person of wisdom and power. Ki, as in Reiki, means Energy. Munay means Love. So true to my divine purpose as a Lightworker and as in most of my columns, I am once again talking about a love energy derived from a divine source that has the power to unify and heal. Although the Munay-Ki rites are fairly new and non- traditional and seem non-traditional, they are based upon the traditions of the Laika, or Light People, who now live in the Andes mountains of Peru but originated some 30,000 years ago when they emigrated from Siberia. Thus, the foundation for these rites of passage have been around for millenium. 

 

Each rite attunement is a transmission of an energetic seed  transferred via a shaman’s loving intention into your luminous energy field with the purpose to heal and transform all past physical and psychological traumas imprinted within your energy field, so that emotional healing can begin. The rites also connect you to a lineage of  luminous beings, past and present, as well a lineage of master healers, archangels and 7 specific Archetypes which are transmitted into each major chakra. These Archetypes are organizing principles of the Universe, so that we may begin to organize our own energy centers and lives with specific purpose. A few examples are:

 

A.     The Serpent, representative of healing, who teaches us to shed our personal past as a snake sheds her skin and connects us to the primary feminine life force who knows the way into the deepest places inside of ourselves and seeks union and creation.

B.      The Jaguar, representative of transformation, who teaches us to step beyond fear and death and into a world of mystery and connects us with our Luminous Warrior who has no enemies in this world or the next and who can regain hope and bring new balance from chaos.

 

 

C.     The Hummingbird, represents courage required to embark on an epic journey, who teaches us to enjoy the sweetness of Life and that we can accomplish even the most impossible task despite tremendous odds. She reminds us to live in the moment and that Life is what it is.

D.     The Condor or Eagle, represents the self-transcending principle, who teaches us to see from a higher perspective of vision, clarity and beauty and to see with the eyes of the heart and spread our own wings so that we may fly with Great Spirit. The energies of the Eagle help us to find the guiding vision of our lives and rise above the trivial day to day struggles. The energies of the Condor help us to see into the past and future so that we know not only where we come from, but where we are going.

 

Upon receiving the Munay-Ki our chakras (the body’s energy centers) become cleansed so that we may attain what the Laika call a “rainbow body” and we may radiate and emit the colors of the rainbow. This allows higher luminous beings to reach out to us and recognize that we share a common calling. Furthermore, it enables us to step into the ultimate Homo Luminous state, an energy state common to that of Angels and Divine Spirit; however,  we must first shed our old patterns, not reinforce our past, and walk with an open heart, so that we may step into whom we are becoming and whom we see ourselves as being in the future.

 

Of course, there is quite a bit more to learn from the Munay-Ki. More than can be learned over a weekend and more than I can put into 1000 words. However, at the end of the day what we were taught over the weekend  was to be authentic and always operate from a place of Spirit. Again, this is similar to my past Lightworker lessons of being compassionate and living in alignment with your True Self, Higher Spirit and feeling the Oneness of all life. For me the Munay-Ki are just another method of communication with Divine Spirit. Just as in this world we have a landline, a cellphone, email and Skype; similarly there is more than one way to communicate in the Universe with Spirit. Thus, my Valentine’s Day gift is to inspire you to connect with Spirit and further your own develoment of your own personal spiritual growth.

 

Until next time, may your days be brighter and your lives be lighter.

Lightworker Lisa

Let me ignite the light in your life!

February, 2011 – Sweets for your Sweetie

Travel with Terri

Sweets for your Sweetie

By Terri MarshallTerri Farris

Last year on Valentine’s Day my beau and I were driving through Texas.  In keeping with the Texas way we tuned into the local country music station on the radio.  The theme for the day, “A Loving, Lying and Leaving Valentine’s!”  Loving, ok fine, but lying and leaving? While it may suit the lyrics of the majority of country music tunes, it doesn’t really suit most relationships!  I thought maybe I would offer some sweeter suggestions for sweethearts this year.  And, if your sweetheart was the lying and leaving type and you are now alone, just treat yourself!

Chocolate is synonymous with Valentine’s Day but anyone can give a box of chocolates.  Why not take chocolate to another level with a chocolate trip?   Chicago offers a sweet solution with the Chicago Chocolate Tours. The tours last approximately 3 hours with guided walks through various neighborhoods. Choose from Lakeview, the downtown loop, Chicago’s Magnificent Mile or the French Market. Sample sweet treats from cupcakes to truffles to hot chocolate in locally owned shops throughout the city. Along the way, you will learn about the neighborhoods, history, architecture and even some fun chocolate facts. All the walking will help keep the sweets from sticking to your hips! www.chicagochocolatetours.com 

Chicago Chocolate Tour Cupcakes

New York City is always a popular Valentine’s Day destination – remember Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks meeting at the top of the Empire State Building in Sleepless in Seattle?   While you may or may not find your valentine in the city, you can certainly find more chocolate!  Entering Max Brenner’s Chocolate Restaurant in New York’s Union Square your chocolate senses are magnified. The aroma of cocoa is everywhere brought on by the chocolate constantly flowing from the chocolate mixing machine, the cocoa drinks being mixed for eager restaurant guests and all the decadent chocolate desserts ready for you to experience.

These are just a few of the treats for your senses on the menu at Max Brenner’s Chocolate Restaurants:  Pearl Sugar Chocolate Waffles, Key Lime Creamy White Chocolate Crepe, Chocolate Crispy Egg Rolls, O.M.G. Chocolate Chunk Cookies – do I need to go on? With locations worldwide in Israel, Singapore, Australia and the Philippines as well as national locations in New York and Philadelphia, Max is doing his part to promote a new chocolate culture.  www.maxbrenner.com

 

 

Hershey's Chocolate & Wine Pairing
Hershey’s Chocolate & Wine Pairing

If chocolate tours and chocolate desserts are not enough to satisfy your sweetie, try the ultimate chocolate destination – Hershey, Pennsylvania!  Each year Hershey celebrates “Chocolate Covered February”.  This month-long town-wide celebration of all things chocolate features events and activities for all ages and tastes.  The Sealed with a Kiss package is perfect for couples and includes accomodations at The Hotel Hershey or Hershey Lodge, breakfast, a rose-petal turndown, champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, a complimentary seven-ounce giant Hershey’s Kiss and complimentary admission to The Hershey Story.   There are also chocolate and beer pairings, chocolate and wine pairings and unique chocolate inspired dinners offered at The Hotel Hershey and the Hershey Lodge.  www.hersheypa.com

 

You can literally bathe yourself in chocolate at The Chocolate Spa.  Throughout February The Spa at the Hotel Hershey is offering The Chocolate Spa Sampler.  The package includes a Whipped Cocoa Bath, a Chocolate Bean Polish or Chocolate Sugar Scrub and a Cocoa Massage.  www.chocolatespa.com

After you and your sweetheart have eaten chocolate, drank chocolate martinis, bathed yourselves in chocolate and been scrubbed and massaged with chocolate why not drape yourself in the ultimate indulgence – chocolate diamonds! Hershey has been bringing chocolate diamonds from Le Vian Jewelers to their guests through The Jeweler at The Hotel Hershey for the last 3 years.  In those years, Erin DeLoach, Director of Retail for The Jeweler at The Hotel Hershey, has witnessed many romantic moments.  She tells the story of one couple who visits The Hotel Hershey each year with their children to celebrate their anniversary.  One year the couple stopped in to look at the chocolate diamonds with their children.  A few moments after the couple left the store the husband returned and asked for assistance in choosing the chocolate diamond they thought his wife liked best.   He purchased the diamond and asked for it to be brought to her as dessert while they were dining in The Hotel Hershey’s Circular Dining Room.  The diamond was taken to the chef who created a beautiful dessert display with a chocolate diamond center!  Ah, romance, don’t you love it?

 

Finally, if traveling is not on your agenda this Valentine’s Day, you can

 

Ritz Carlton, Palm Beach - Strawberries & Chocolate
Ritz Carlton, Palm Beach – Strawberries & Chocolate

still experience the sweetness at the Palm Beach Ritz Carlton’s Valentine’s Chocolate Bar (now re-named “Eau Palm Beach.”)   This unique and elegant affair is sure to be a culinary adventure.  Executive Chef Ryan Artim has created a delightful chocolate feast including a Raspberry White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Fondue with dipping treats of berries, mango, kiwi, pineapple and banana.  There will also be Red Velvet Cupcakes, Cappuccino Whoopie Pies, Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes, Caramel Macadamia Nut Fudge and Fudgy Cheesecake Bites.  Flights of red wine selections, spicy Hot Chocolate and champagne will be on hand to provide the perfect pairing for the chocolate sensations.  You and your sweetheart can cozy up in the glowing ambience of the fire pit and take in the gorgeous ocean views!  http://eaupalmbeach.com/

 

This Valentine’s Day – skip the lying and leaving and stick with the loving – be sweet to your Sweetie.  You don’t really want to be the lyrics to a country song, do you?

March, 2011 – Back to Nature

BACK TO NATURE

A Unified Conservation Message

 

Arthur R. Marshall Foundation, Palm Beach Zoo & South Florida Science Museum Unite to Host Public Events on March 25, 2011 with RICHARD LOUV, Author of Last Child in the Woods

 

(West Palm Beach, FL – January 26, 2010)  For the first time ever – three of Palm Beach County’s leading environmental and educational nonprofits are joining together for a specific campaign.

 

marshall-sflscience-pbzooThe Arthur R. Marshall Foundation, the Palm Beach Zoo and the South Florida Science Museum will be co-hosting several BACK TO NATURE events on Friday, March 25, featuring Richard Louv, author of the groundbreaking book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.

 

WHY:

Remember when kids played outdoors after school, on weekends and all day long during the summer?  Playing ball in the vacant lot down the block, climbing trees, exploring nearby fields, hiking and fishing with friends…

 

Today’s young people are housebound, plopped in front of a TV or computer, growing fatter and more lethargic, completely disconnected from their natural environment.

 

WHAT:

Deep concern about this worsening generational crisis has motivated these three major nonprofit organizations in West Palm Beach to join forces to host several public events on March 25 with author Richard Louv. 

 

The events include a press conference with Mr. Louv at the Palm Beach Zoo with children asking some of the questions, and a special BACK TO NATURE luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach.

 

Both events will be co-hosted by the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation, which champions the restoration and preservation of the greater Everglades ecosystem; the Palm Beach Zoo, a zoological organization located in Dreher Park that houses more than 1,400 animals within 23 acres of lush, tropical habitat; and the neighboring South Florida Science Museum, which features more than 50 hands-on exhibits, a digital planetarium, freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as natural history exhibitions.

 

WHEN & WHERE:

Friday, March 25, 2011

 

+  10 a.m. – Press Conference with Richard Louv

    With questions asked by both children and reporters

    At the Palm Beach Zoo – Tropics Café Deck

    1301 Summit Boulevard in West Palm Beach

 

+  Noon – BACK TO NATURE Luncheon

    At the Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach  

 

WHO:

Richard Louv is a journalist and author of seven books about the connections between family, nature and community. His most recent book, LAST CHILD IN THE WOODS: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, which has been translated into nine languages and published in 13 countries. He is also the chairman and cofounder of Children & Nature Network (www.childrenandnature.org).

In 2008, Louv was awarded the Audubon Medal from the National Audubon Society. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times of London and other major publications, and has appeared on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s Good Morning America, the CBS Evening News and several programs on NPR, including Morning Edition, Fresh Air and Talk of the Nation.

 

QUOTE FROM LAST CHILD IN THE WOOD:

“Just as children need good nutrition and adequate sleep, they may very well need contact with nature. Reducing the (Nature-Deficit Disorder) – healing the broken bond between our young and nature – is in our self-interest, not only because aesthetics or justice demands it, but also because our mental, physical and spiritual health depends upon it.  The health of the earth is at stake as well.”

 

About the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation:

Based in Palm Beach County, the Marshall Foundation champions the restoration and preservation of the greater Everglades ecosystem through science-based education and outreach programs.   Annually, more than 8,300 elementary and high school students in Palm Beach County actively participate in the Marshall Foundation’s various education programs.

February, 2011 – Family Medical and Wellness Center

FAMILY MEDICAL AND WELLNESS CENTER

 

Putting Wellness First

 

Story by Krista Martinelli

 

 

Since beginning their own practice in 2008, doctors Lesley Glover and Vanessa Vizcaino have expanded their staff and their office. Known in the community as compassionate family doctors, the addition of Heather Loguidice, ARNP, to their team was a perfect fit. Moving to a new office space on the campus of Wellington Regional Medical Center allows for more space and more convenience in referrals too. We spent some time getting to know Heather Loguidice, who has been doing a terrific job with our “Ask the Docs” column for the past several months.

 

Heather was attracted to the Family Medical team because the

 doctors spend extra time with their patients, they’re willing to teach and they make it fun. Heather overlapped with “Dr. G” and “Dr. V” at Western Communities Family Practice for approximately three years. She’s happy to be working with them again after joining their team last year. She received a Family Nurse Practitioner Master’s Degree from the University of Florida and went to Indiana State University for her college degree. She is a big Gators’ fan and enjoys spending her time with her three-year-old daughter, “the love of her life.”

 

Heather says, “I like family medicine the most. I like getting to know people, following up with them and the continuity of knowing the whole family.” As opposed to ER work, for example, a family practice provides that continuity with the patients.

 

What makes Family Medical and Wellness Center stand apart from so many other medical practices in the area? According to Loguidice, it’s in the time spent with patients and the method of collaboration with patients to create a wellness plan. In the last couple of years, patients have had more opinions and more research behind their stories regarding what they need for their own care. Instead of disregarding the non-medical paths to wellness, they listen to their patients at Family Medical, working together to come up with a good plan of care. 

 

Dr. Vanessa Vizcaino and Heather Loguidice, ARNP

Dr. Vanessa Vizcaino says, “When we decided to go into practice together, we knew we would not run a ‘mill’ as other places do. We feel it is necessary for patient care to dedicate a little extra time to our patients. It may not be ideal in this crazy world of challenging healthcare and falling reimbursements, but we just can’t seem to feel right doing it any other way.”

 

 

 

 

Since the last time we checked in with Family Medical and Wellness Center, they have upgraded to a new, bigger office. “We have more space now and it’s phenomenal,” says Luis Sanchez, who manages the office and handles the insurance at FMWC. Thanks to being located on the same campus as Wellington Regional Medical Center, they are more medically “in touch,” able to send patients to referring specialists within walking distance and send them for outpatient x-rays right next door. They also do ultrasounds in their office on Tuesdays, another advantage over the previous location.

 

What makes the Family Medical and Wellness Center patients so loyal?  According to Heather Loguidice, it’s an easy answer. “We treat patients as we would like to be treated.” She adds that patients enjoy the “down-to-Earth” atmosphere that the doctors create.

 

One common mistake among patients that Loguidice is concerned about is the “quick fix” that so many people seem to ask for, looking for antibiotics every time they encounter the common cold. People tend to forget that antibiotics also kill the other things in our system that are needed to fight against illness. Although she understands the need to get better as quickly as possible, she reminds patients that sometimes it’s better in the long run to “wait it out” with something simple like a cold, thus strengthening their systems.

 

drgdrvheather
Dr. Lesley Glover, Dr. Vanessa Vizcaino and Heather Loguidice, ARNP

 

Dr. Vizcaino says, “We truly feel we preach and encourage ‘wellness’ in our practice. We encourage patients to get rid of their illnesses by adopting healthy lifestyles, losing weight, etc. We’d rather have a population of ‘healthy’ patients that see us once a year for their wellness physical exam than having hoards of sick patients that exist to only take medications. Our most sincere wish is for our patients to feel well, be healthy, make better choices and live a quality life.” It’s the idea that went into the name Family Medical and Wellness Center and it’s an idea whose time has come – making wellness the priority.

 

Editor’s note: I’m pleased to know just how loved these doctors are in our community, thanks to your phone calls. If you have lost track of them and need their new location, see below. Visit their website for more information. And don’t forget to read “Ask the Docs” each month, in which Heather Loguidice (ARNP), Dr. Vanessa Vizcaino and Dr. Lesley Glover take turns answering health-related questions.

February, 2011 – Roses Are Red, Money Is Green

Teen Talkstephaniecourtois1

Roses are Red, Money is Green

By Stephanie Courtois

Be mine. Do you like me? Circle yes or no. Will you be my Valentine? These are a couple of the numerous phrases expressed on Valentine’s Day in a typical Kindergarten class. As the years go by, the fourteenth of February is more than just a day of exchanging cards and candies; it is a symbol of romance and courtship.

Despised by some and embraced by others, this day has been around for over a thousand years. It all began from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration that used to be observed annually on February 15. Pope Gelasius turned this festival into a Christian feast day and set it back a day earlier to February 14. The feast honored Saint Valentine who was martyred along with two other priests on that day. This is the point where the factual story ends and where so many legends have incorporated their own ending to the tale.

          Couples take advantage of this day to rekindle their love and to be alone with each other rather than a day to commemorate the saint. Florists and card companies take advantage of this day for colossal profits. For teenagers, feelings toward this holiday are definitely mixed. Companies know how to target teens to buy the traditional Valentine’s package. Teens are forced to purchase gifts for their significant other in order to keep them satisfied. It is considered unacceptable if there is no exchanging of gifts in today’s culture.

More than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine’s Day each year. About 110 million roses are sold and delivered within a three-day time period. There are no such things as spontaneous gifts on Valentine’s Day, it is simply expected. Society pressures us to buy expensive jewelry and chocolates because it’s the only way companies see fit for showing affection. The way to truly say “I love you” is by being thoughtful every day, not just one chosen day out of the year. A dozen roses on a sunny day in March are much more meaningful than the when they are bought on the fourteenth of February.

Unconditional love happens all year round, 24/7, for better or worse and in sickness and in health. One day a year cannot portray the love one feels for a lifetime’s worth of sentiment.

Stephanie Courtois is a junior at Wellington High School. She is involved in tae kwon do, French, National and Chemistry Honor Societies, and is the news editor for the school newspaper. She loves journalism and aspires to work for a magazine someday.
