Do You Suffer from Stress, Insomnia, Depression or Excess Weight?

Are You Looking for Ways to Change? We have a simple program that is as natural as laying back and closing your eyes.



Simply put, visualization is the process of forming mental images; it is the primary component of the imagination.

Visualization is at the core of the human ability to create, innovate and dream.

Many of history's inventors and artists attribute their success to an exceptional ability to visualize. Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Henry Ford, and the great composer, Chopin all reported using creative visualization to spark their imaginations. Additionally, Albert Einstein once said he came up with the theory of relativity by imagining what would happen if he could travel through space on the tip of a light beam.

Creative visualization can transport you out of a state of stress or fear, and into a new space of inner calm, peace and tranquility. Additionally, a natural byproduct of creative visualization occurs when the body goes loose and limp, creating the relaxation response - the perfect state for learning and focusing on goals.

Mind/Body Support

Visualization has long been the primary tool for mind/body support. From a scientific perspective, we know, that because visualization directly impacts the body's neurological system, it can have a direct influence on us physically.

Try this for an example: Imagine I have just handed you a large, yellow, juice-filled lemon. You slice the lemon into quarters and bring one of the quarters to your mouth and bite into it . . . what happened? Did your mouth begin to pucker? Did it fill with saliva? This is a naturally occurring neurological response to an imagined thought.

Have you ever watched a horror film, and, in the midst of the excitement, found your palms sweating and your heart pounding? You knew it was "just a movie," right?

If your mind can cause this kind of impact on your body, is there any reason it can't relax your muscles, overpower nicotine, stimulate your metabolism, or even do away with chronic pain?

Why Use Creative Visualization and Guided Relaxation Together?

We all have an inner critic, a part of our mind which, based on past experience, rejects unfamiliar information without proper evaluation. This is known as the critical factor. Studies show that relaxation techniques subdue this critical factor, making you receptive to new ideas. Even though it may seem counterintuitive to "let go in order to gain control," this is exactly what happens during the relaxation response.

Through NewReality's visualization techniques, you experience positive and appropriate ways to imagine your personal goals. This helps you remain optimistic and motivated toward changes that bring about your success.

CVR Provides the Missing Link to Wellness

Recent research shows excessive stress can suppress the immune system. Therefore, it's vital to incorporate a program of stress reduction and relaxation into your everyday routine. By reducing anxiety and stress, and increasing relaxation, you can boost your immune system and use your own unlimited resources to improve your life.

But don't think CVR is only a nice, relaxing daydream. People who regularly relax with CVR processes enjoy a number of side-benefits. These may include:

• Increased blood flow to the brain, resulting in clearer thinking, better concentration, improved memory and enhanced creativity
• A 21% increase in serotonin, which calms the mind and body and creates an overall sense of wellbeing
• A 25% increase in endorphins, the hormones that flow through your body when you feel happy
• Better sleep patterns. Twenty minutes of CVR can be equivalent to 2-3 hours of sleep, so you may find yourself sleeping less, feeling more rested, accomplishing more, and finding extra enjoyment in life
• Soaring energy levels
• More fulfilling relationships
• Improved career satisfaction
• A clearer sense of purpose
• And last, but certainly not least, a seemingly effortless ability to manage stress

Update on Journey with Lyme Disease & Magnetic Therapies

By Janis Uquillas, R.N.

It has been a month since I lost wrote and I am very happy to report that I have slept soundly every night since I started sleeping on magnets in early September.   When I first received my super bed grid and Vitality Enchancer on September 16th, I went full speed ahead and was drinking magnetized water, using the super bed grid and enchancer and some localized magnets.  I experienced constant nausea and a funny taste in my mouth so I thought maybe my body is trying to adjust to all of the heavy duty magnetics and I will have to go more slowly.  So some nights I would sleep in my bed for half the night and then move to another bed without magnets. 

After about 4 days, I felt off balance.  That scared me as I had previously had attacks of vertigo off and on since the 1970's and the last attack in February landed me in the hospital and bedridden for 3 weeks.  So I decided to remove the Vitality Enchancer and stop the magnetized water and just try sleeping on the super bed grid for awhile to let my body adjust.  The nausea and dizziness stopped completely and I felt great.  Now I feel that I have more than adjusted to the super bed grid and some localized magnets so adding back the Vitality Enchancer and the magnetized water so that I can do the full magnetic protocol for Lyme disease.

I am beyond thrilled with more than 6 weeks of nightly sound sleep.  Restful sleep makes a world of difference.  I feel that my overall health is gradually improving.  Occasionally I have pains that indicate either a die-off reaction or just the normal ups and downs of Lyme but generally the quality of life is better each day. 

My husband reports a much deeper sound sleep as well.  I just finished making magnetic dog beds for both of my dogs yesterday.  Last night they sleep there for the first time.  My little pom slept on her back and she never does that and she slept soundly and didn't wake me up early like she usually does.  My other dog leaped out of bed with great energy this morning and usually she is dragging. 

Will keep you posted on my progress.  Blessings.

Natural sleep remedies

They are safer and have fewer side effects than over the counter and prescription medications. Many of these can not only help you fall asleep and stay asleep, but they can also promote muscle relaxation and help with restless leg syndrome.

Personally, I can tell you with Lyme disease and chronic pain, falling asleep and staying asleep has been a major problem for me for years. I find that one thing may work for me for months or years and then suddenly I can't sleep again so I find having various natural remedies on hand so that I can switch it up if I need to. And then oftentimes, I can go back to my previous remedy and it will work again after being off of it for a while. Others I have talked to with the same problems, find things work for awhile and then don't work so I always encourage everyone to try something new but to go back to the previous one again later. Don't assume it won't work. Also, I have found the ingredients of one brand may not work as well as another brand, so again don't assume it is the ingredients, it may have been the quality of the brand or the dosage.

Another thing that helps me if I am in a lot of pain is to rub the muscle balm into an area that is painful or to heat up my Comfort Buddies and put them on my body while trying to fall asleep. Ice helps too and if you feel too cold, lay on ice under the covers with a warm comfort buddy on you and it will be much more comfortable. I formulated the muscle balm because of my own pain, I loaded it up with natural things that help relieve pain and I make the Comfort Buddy because I use 3 of them to help my sleep and pain. If you try Melantonin, it is important to start low on only take 1 mg. and see how your body reacts too it. I know years ago I tried it and the dose was too high and I didn't like it and didn't try it again until this year after my doctor told me to only do 1 mg.

My favorite natural sleep remedies are:

Metagenics Somnolin:
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl) 40 mg
Folate (as L-5-methyl tetrahydrofolate†) 400 mcg
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) 500 mcg
L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP from Griffonia simplicifolia) 200 mg
L-Theanine 200 mg

Metagenics MyocalmPM
•Calcium (as calcium lactate) 75 mg
•Magnesium (as magnesium citrate) 150 mg
Herbs:
•Passionflower Flower 5.5:1 Extract (Passiflora incarnata) 60 mg
•Valerian Root Extract (Valeriana officinalis) 30 mg
•Hops Cone 7.5:1 Extract (Humulus lupulus) 60 mg
•Lemon Balm Leaf 5:1 Extract (Melissa officinalis) 150 mg

Metagenics Benesom
Casein Tryptic Hydrolysate† 75 mg
Melatonin 1 mg
Passionflower Flower 5.5:1 Extract (Passiflora incarnata) 300 mg

Magnesium and calcium
Magnesium and calcium are both sleep boosters, and when taken together they become even more effective. Plus, by taking magnesium you cancel out any potential heart problems that might arise from taking calcium alone. Take 200-300 milligrams of magnesium (you can lower the dose if it causes diarrhea) and 600 milligrams of calcium each night.

Lemon Balm
Several studies have found that lemon balm combined with other calming herbs (such as valerian, hops, and chamomile) helps reduce anxiety and promote sleep.

Hops
Beer fans are already familiar with the calming effect of hops, the female flowers used in beer making. For sleep purposes, this extract has been widely used as a mild sedative for anxiety and insomnia. Take 30 to 120 milligrams before climbing under the covers.

Aromatherapy
Lavender is the trick here, as studies have proven that it aids in sleep. It's also an inexpensive, nontoxic way to slip into a peaceful slumber. Find a spray with real lavender and spritz it on your pillow before bedtime, or buy a lavender-filled pillow.

Melatonin
Melatonin is the hormone that controls sleep, so it's no wonder that it naturally induces sleep. Studies show that lower doses are more effective -- plus, there's concern that too-high doses could cause toxicity as well as raise the risk of depression or infertility.

Passion flower
Has a mild sedative effect that encourages sleep. This property has been well-substantiated in numerous studies on animals and humans. Nervous symptoms and cramps that inhibit sleep are alleviated by ingestion of the herb, and leading quickly to restful uninterrupted and deep sleep.

Yoga and Meditation
Choose gentle yoga or stretching, not vigorous power or ashtanga yoga, which could energize you instead. Try easy yoga stretches in bed followed by simple meditation. Close your eyes and, for 5 to 10 minutes, pay attention to nothing but your breathing.

L-theanine
This amino acid comes from green tea, and not only helps maintain a calm alertness during the day but also a deeper sleep at night. However, green tea doesn't contain enough L-theanine to significantly boost your REM cycles, and might make you wake up to go to the bathroom. Instead, buy pure, active L-theanine(some brands have inactive forms of theanine that block the effectiveness), and take 50 to 200 milligrams at bedtime.

Valerian
Valerian is one of the most common sleep remedies for insomnia. Numerous studies have found that valerian improves deep sleep, speed of falling asleep, and overall quality of sleep. However, it's most effective when used over a longer period of time. Keep in mind that about 10 percent of the people who use it actually feel energized, which may keep them awake. If that happens to you, take valerian during the day. Otherwise, take 200 to 800 milligrams before bed.

Wild lettuce
If you've suffered anxiety, headaches, or muscle or joint pain, you might already be familiar with wild lettuce. It's also effective at calming restlessness and reducing anxiety, and may even quell restless legs syndrome. When using a wild-lettuce supplement, take 30 to 120 milligrams before bed.
