Would You Like to Know Why You Aren’t Feeling Well?

May 10, 2013 in Expo News by Annie Infinite

Brian Morely Mr Brian Morley a Natural Therapist  specialising in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy and Acupuncture with over 40 years experience will be speaking at the Heal Yourself Expo in Caloundra on Saturday 25 th May at 3.00pm- please join us to hear more about the Importance of your Body Becoming Alkaline for Good Health.

Remember……. GOOD HEALTH IS A COMPLETE STATE OF WELL BEING …… NOT JUST THE ABSENCE OF A DISEASE.

Becoming “Alkaline” is the cornerstone of the Vital Balance Lifestyle Program. Alkalinity within the body’s cells promotes good health, effective absorption of nutrients to the cells along with and more importantly effective removal of toxic waste from the body. The Vital Balance Lifestyle Program shows you how, through consuming the right combination of the right whole foods in the right proportion, properly digested, with correct breathing techniques and exercise, you too, can, in a short period of time create an alkaline body.

There are over twelve thousand diagnosed illnesses in the world today and 95% of these illnesses can be prevented through having an alkaline body.

Yes, that’s right! Cancers and viruses cannot survive in a body that is Alkaline. Fungal events in the body like Candida Albicans in the small bowel & Systemic Candida Albicans around the body would cease. Candida alone causes more issues like acidity in the body due to ineffective nutrient delivery and waste removal from cells. Alkaline bodies carry more oxygen in the bloodstream, have stronger immune systems and recover faster from injury and illness. Alkaline bodies require less food to feed the body as there is no candida stripping the food we eat. Proper Digestion cannot happen unless there is an alkaline environment in the mouth.

Listing all the benefits of having a body that is alkaline is too great. One thing is for certain, that when you are alkaline you will not only feel great but look great too!

  • Cancers & viruses cannot survive in an alkaline body.
  • The body can feed itself properly.
  • The body ages at a slower rate.
  • Digestion of food is better.
  • Waste elimination from cells is more effective.
  • More oxygen into cells
  • Stronger immune system, And much, much

more…..

The body should be slightly alkaline in order to build an alkaline reserve for acid forming conditions such as stress, lack of exercise or poor dietary habits and poor immunity.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has informed us today that she will be sending Senator Claire Moore to the planting as her representative, and councilor Tim Dwyer has said he will represent the Sunshine Coast Council at the event as well.

Mahamandaleshwar (similar to a Cardinal in the Catholic religion) is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a Sannyasi (Hindu monk). Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivek Puri Ji (Tino Pavlin) is a long term disciples of His Holiness Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Sri Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda Puri (Swamiji).

Yoga in Daily Life is the international charity, founded by Swamiji, dedicated to bringing the benefits of yoga to all. The charity coordinates many humanitarian activities and initiatives including the planting of a number of ‘peace trees’ in locations from Sydney, Australia, to Maribor, Slovenia.

Swamiji is recognised globally by thousands as one of the great Self-Realised Masters who has brought the ancient science of Yoga to the West. Humanitarian worker and tireless advocate of world peace, he has dedicated his whole life to serving humanity. His insight and understanding of the problems of modern society led him to create the unique and comprehensive system of Yoga called Yoga in Daily Life.

“The mightiest power in humans is the power of thought. Right now is time for us to apply our intellectual energy for the benefit of the world, rather than being the cause of its destruction. The path of Yoga helps us to unearth the valuable treasury of spiritual knowledge buried within and put it to good use. In this way each of us can contribute something worthwhile to the planet and its recovery.” -  Swamiji, Founder of Yoga in Daily Life.

Council has approved the planting of the Peace Tree by SwamiJi and will supply a local rainforest tree known as a Eumundi Quandong. A highly decorative small native rainforest tree with attractive bronzy maroon new growth and broad shiny green leaves. During late spring to early summer the tree bears clusters of sweetly scented cream flowers.

The Yogi will also be holding a workshop and Satsang, sponsored by the Maroochyore Yoga in Daily Life chapter at the Healthy Lifestyle Expo on both Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th at 9.30am and his presentations are expected to be standing room only.

Amazing Pagan Artworks on Show at the Expo

April 12, 2013 in Exhibitors , Expo News by Annie Infinite

Forest Pond Pandemos Art Brad White an amazing local artist whose main subjects are pagan and hedonistic figures will be exhibiting his artworks at the Expo in May under the name Pandemos Art .

Definitely not for the puritanical this art is about getting back to nature, the harmony and beauty of the natural form of the naked human body and his artworks are filled with reminders to reconnect on so many levels. Look carefully at Brad’s paintings and you will see a plethora of natural beauty from the flowers included on the canvas right down to the smallest of creatures hiding in the forests in which his nudes frolick.

Inherent in each piece is a deep sense of reconnection with ourselves as humans first and with our roots as one of earths native creatures, walking in balance with all other entities on this planet Earth, our home.

Come revel in the art of this heart based artist, come remember and reconnect with your essence.

Pandemos Art will be giving away limited edition mugs every hour during the Expo so those who sign up for their news list and announcements will be made from the stage of the winners.

About Brad:

Brad White was born in 1950 in Christchurch, New Zealand.

He spent his early childhood in the highlands of New Guinea, where at the age of 3 he lost his mother. The family returned to New Zealand in 1954.

In 2000 Brad was remarried to Deanne who had been a friend for many years, then in 2001 they moved to Australia to help improve Brad’s health.

After a span of years of reoccurrence of illness due to chemical poisoning where Brad was unable to produce any art. An improvement in health found him back in the work force until 2005 when his employment dissolved. It was only then that he considered taking up the paint brush seriously again, but although he was back in the studio nothing was produced as he was disillusioned with his work. He could not paint what he thought might be marketable and what may be acceptable by the general public.

Deanne encouraged Brad to get back into the studio and paint whatever he wanted to paint. Quote from Deanne “He was always contented with a paintbrush in his hand” “ I just wanted that man back”

With his growing belief in the importance of reconnecting with nature, and his decision a few years ago to follow the old religion. Brad has decided to paint what to him speaks of the connection between Nature the devine and us.  As express by the old Myths and Legends, and the re-imergence of the ancient gods and goddesses.

He believes that in returning to Nature we must also accept our part in nature and that included re-evaluating our attitudes towards the human body.

PLEASE BE AWARE IF YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH NUDITY – Pandemos Art will be in Booth #24 at the top end of the first room of the Expo against the upper wall.

Live Cross to the U.S. to Launch new Oasis Synergy System to Australian Therapists

April 2, 2013 in Expo News , Speakers , You Can Heal Yourself by Annie Infinite

In a YCHY Expo first in a direct Live cross to the U.S. we will hear Dr Jeffrey Thompson launch his phenomenal healing Oasis Synergy system here in Australia.

OASIS SYNERGY SYSTEM

The Design of the Oasis Synergy System
The Oasis Synergy System is an electrically operated, ergonomic, zero-gravity recliner.  It is highly rated for comfort, free of pressure points on your body. The reclining mechanism gently takes you back to a position most comfort for you, which generally is the “weightless position” used by astronauts, on which the “zero gravity” design is built. The chair is a chair, but in the Oasis Synergy System, it is a delivery device for the prescriptive protocols of the world-renown Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, DC, BFA, the sound researcher, physician/musician, the brainwave entrainment expert and transformative personal growth pioneer using sound in a scientific manner. He has taken the technology of the present which, in many ways, has contributed to much of the stress in the world today, and uses it for its highest purpose: the health and wellness of mankind. This opportunity is for anyone who wants a timely and even futuristic healing mode in their practice.  The Oasis System is not available or sold elsewhere. Read more here http://www.oasissynergy.com/technology.shtml

Oasis Synergy Enhance Therapeutic Results in Your Clinic, Wellness Spa, Office or Fitness Center
The Oasis System is the “State of the Art” Sound Delivery System available today.

It uses the patent-pending design of Dr. Thompson DC, BFA, coupled with specially designed low frequency transducers, which act like electronic tuning forks to resonate your body to what is playing through the Chair, entraining and re-training your nervous system, gently but effectively to come into a state of balance and harmony with your total mind/body system. Yes, the secret of the Oasis System lies in the scientifically-engineered protocols by Dr. Thompson DC, BFA himself.  These protocols are available only through this System and are not sold on the open market.

Sound frequency pulse waves played directly into the body also have a profound effect on the nervous system. The entire posterior one-third (1/3) of the spinal cord consists of nerve tract bundles whose sole purpose is the transmission of vibration sense data to the Brain Stem, Cerebellum, Pons, Medulla, Hippocampus/ Limbic System, which are the emotional processing areas, and various areas of the Cerebral Cortex. Far reaching possibilities are inherent in using this type of vibrational technology in the areas of massage, energy work, physical healing, emotional release work, hypnosis, meditation, relaxation, stress reduction, and – well, we will let you add the other uses enhanced by your willingness to integrate a powerful, non-invasive modality into your practice and by your own specialty and knowing what your patient requires on all levels to best heal and personally grow.

Laughter Flash Mob Set for Sunshine Coast for World Laughter Day

February 26, 2013 in Expo News , You Can Heal Yourself by Annie Infinite

Yes this is going to be so much fun! World Laughter Day

The amazing Susan Brown from Let’s Laugh will be coordinating a Sunshine Coast first on World Laughter Day, May 5th, 2013 in conjunction with the You Can Heal Yourself Foundation and Expo.

Together they will bring World Laughter Day to life with their own Laughter Flash Mob, with media ready to film, photograph and report on the fun, we are issuing an invitation to all Expo and laughter enthusiasts to be there and add to the fun!

The event time and place will be announced on the You Can Heal Yourself Facebook page as an event after March 1, 2013 with details for media and laughter mob participants – come and laugh with us! on Sunday May 5th, 2013 on the Sunshine Coast – at 11.30am near Gloria Jeans at Sunshine Plaza.

About World Laughter Day

World Laughter Day is the brainchild of Dr. Kataria’s who’s main objectives for Laughter Yoga is to promote world peace through laughter. Some people find this idea fanciful, but an understanding of the science of emotions and emotional contagion in particular shows how this might be achieved. The practice of Laughter Yoga causes the body to release certain ‘Feel Good’ hormones into the bloodstream related to feelings of happiness, warmth, unconditional love, bonding, tolerance, forgiveness, generosity, and compassion. Let’s call this a joy cocktail. The presence of this ‘Joy Cocktail’ of hormones and neuro-peptides precludes the production of other hormones and neuro-peptides that correspond with hatred, fear, violence, jealousy, aggression and the emotions associated with war and oppression.

By practicing Laughter Yoga in groups, the level of this Joy cocktail is raised to high concentrations through the multiplier effect: people leaving Laughter Yoga sessions go forth and interact with many people who are in turn affected to varying degrees by this powerful emotional state of joy. They in turn ‘infect’ other people they come into contact with. You can experience this ‘chain reaction’ after your very first Laughter Yoga session. World Laughter Day is held annually on the first Sunday of May.

About Susan and Let’s Laugh

Susan who is a member of the World Laughter Movement, has a passion for sharing laughter with ´The World´ and is currently on a world crusade promoting laughter along with its health benefits.

Recently, she was awarded International Laughter Ambassador by Dr. Madan Kataria, from India (the Giggling Guru) himself, for her contribution in sharing the amazing benefits of laughter with the world. Dr. Kataria, pioneered ‘laughter yoga’ in 1995 and in 2004, trained Susan to teach others to use these UNIQUE TECHNIQUES on how to laugh WITHOUT JOKES or HUMOUR or even if you don’t feel like laughing…….(we fake ‘it’ till we make ‘it’)…because the brain doesn’t distinguish the difference….the results are the same..

Susan believes that the whole world needs “lightening-up” as there is so much depression and stress persistently in our lives. It effects all ages. All walks of life. laughter brings harmony and joy to ALL who are willing to allow themselves to laugh and the results of ´ laughter ´ are astounding.

If you are ready to laugh for no reason regularly and join a Laughter Club contact Susan today on her website.

Check out this hilarious Laughter Flash Mob from Canada

and decide today that you are going to be a part of it. For more information go to the You Can Heal Yourself Facebook Page and click on Events – not until after 1st March, 2013.
