July27th, 2015 Issue #129 The Iris The Body Glyphix Studio
Greetings!Have you all been feeling the effects of the latest solar flare ups? Tiredness, crabby, emotional, achy or perhaps your cel phones are dropping calls, satellite dish problems, slow computers, brown outs or even power failures? Last week we had the most intense emission hit the earth and then a series of lesser followed. Don’t just read about it~ join us for Yoga. The practice has been geared towards clearing the effects and a meditation that helps us become receivers of these solar emissions and radiation, transforming into the radiant being.______The Perseid’s Meteor ShowerWho doesn’t love spotting shooting stars? Lying on your back on a patch of grass or maybe your rooftop allows you to view the stars in a spectacular way. The Perseid meteor shower gives you the perfect opportunity to witness this beautiful natural phenomenon. This specific Comet was last seen in 1992 and will only return in 2026.
The meteor shower officially started on the 17th of July and will have its peak between the 11th and the 13th of August. This year is expected to be even more spectacular than yet seen before. The meteor shower will continue until the 24th of August.
These meteor showers are witnessed for over 2000 year already but in the year 1862 the comet which causes this Perseid shower has been discovered. The comet was named 109P/Swift-Tuttle.
What makes us see the shooting stars? The small particles, consisting out of rocks and dust, ranging in size from grains to marbles, which the comet sheds come into our atmosphere. These particles enter with such speed (up to 100,000 miles per hour) that they heat up and turn into small bursts of light before they vaporize. It is very rare a particle actually reaches the surface of the Earth. Only when it manages to hit the ground it is called a meteorite. It will then amaze you what kind of damage such a small particle can actually do.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory predicts to see up to 100 meteors per hour during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.
How can we witness this phenomenon the best way possible? Go to a place with the least amount of light pollution as possible. In other words, the darker the better. If you live in the city you will have to travel outside until the artificial light does not interfere anymore with the star gazing. The moment you see the stars, you will see meteor shower as well. There is no need for a telescope since the shower is visible with the naked eye. The best time to view the meteors is just after midnight. This is when you get the clearest sight.What does seeing a meteor mean spiritually? The symbolic meaning or significance of seeing a meteor, not to be confused with a shooting star or falling star, is that the universe is portending a drastic change in your life. This does not mean something horribly bad or disastrouswill happen to you soon. It does mean your life will undergo tremendous, if not upside down, changes. If may feel bad or especially hard and may last a while, but if you keep the perspective that once you get through it, the changes and desires you may have hoped for a while will take place. When one door closes, yours is about to slam shut – hard, others will open.
Sometimes drastic changes are in order, and you ordered it, so you can continue your growth – both spiritually and mentally. You may have been stuck in your current situation for a long time and tried to change the situation many times. You may have been nudged several times previously by the universe. Well, the time has come. The easy way or soft landing time is over. It’s going to change and change now. No stopping it, the universe is in motion in this regards and it will change your universe completely.
Rose will be closing each class with a Savasana (supine meditation) to help us gain spiritual wisdom of viewing the powerful cosmic event.
______Five Ways to Empower a Grieving Warrior
A warrior survives loss in their life and finds the light to illuminate darkness. A grieving warrior can be supported and empowered, and I’ve learned how this comes about.
Many of my friends have suffered loss. I cried through the sudden death of my best friend’s father, saying to her over and over,“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
Never did I know that these words don’t help at all until my brother died suddenly of an overdose. He was my only sibling and my little brother. We shared everything and I imagined we always would.
When I got the call out of the blue on a Saturday afternoon in Jamaica, I screamed endlessly. Strangers ran into my condo, and an old Jamaican lady I had never seen before patted my back as I folded into the floor; she repeated over and over,“never mind, never mind, never mind.”
The next week of tears, memories and hugs continued with “sorry’s.” So many people sorry, and all I could think was, “why are you sorry, you didn’t have anything to do with this.” I even said it once and got a laugh.
To this day I have not read the five stages of grief, because I want to experience this process fully. I want to feel my feelings without compartmentalizing them as stages. I have, however, come to realize what helped me.
These five realizations came from my experience, and I hope they help you to empower a grieving loved one in your life.
1. Reach Out.
A warrior wants—scratch that,needs—to feel the love and support from their amazing friends at the time of their loss. Messages, emails, voice notes and even phone calls. Show up to offer a hug; a moment of silence can mean the world.
2. Tributes Last a Lifetime.
Flowers wilt and die, especially condolence bouquets that are so large they cannot be moved anywhere. If flowers are a must, go for a beautiful orchid that will blossom again and again.
The most amazing tributes last a lifetime. You can name a star after the person who has passed, in their astrological sign; you can plant trees in their name that will grow endlessly.
3. Special Treats.
Food goes bad and is usually thrown away—especially homemade casseroles and such. If you feel like bringing or giving food, a warrior might love an Amazon delivery of chamomile tea to sip on sleepless nights or dark chocolate-covered almonds when the need for a sweet crunch calls. Something that won’t go bad is always good!
4. Silence and Patience.
Warriorswill process death in their own very unique way. Give them space to be in silence, share in laughter and be held in tears. They feel what they ought to feel, and telling them to “be strong” or to “be sad” will create a sense of frustration that you may not mean to bring out but mightblock their natural process of healing.
5. Share Memories.
Don’t tiptoe around a grieving warrior! They will smell your bullsh*t from miles away, and now more then ever they won’t put up with niceties that aren’t genuine. If you knew the person they have lost, celebrate their life with them. Don’t be afraid to talk about the dead like a ghost that will haunt you; bring them back to life time and time again, as this is how a warrior lives.
Support a warrior in celebration, in reflection and in unconditional love.
In closing, you may still be wondering:What do I say? What are the words that will soothe their broken heart, soften their anger and heal their sadness. I amsorry;Iwant to say “never mind,” make them laugh and take their pain away.
The most beautiful thing my mom and I were told by a dear friend of Adam’s was,“There are no words.”We hugged in silence, the tears flowing towards peacefulness.

Need Some Energy?
If you need more energy to start your new fitness program, or would like to increase your level of stamina and endurance, then consider this amazing duo. Target Endurance is just fantastic for increasing stamina and endurance during exercise and it works quickly, normally in just a half hour. Take it before any exercise program or any task you find challenging, mental or physical. Today I went outside to clean up some branches from my garden after the big storm we had a couple days ago. I was thinking I’d go out for a half hour before getting ready for work. I took 3 Target Endurance and 2 Energ-V and my motivation immediately kicked in. I worked for 1 ½ hours, I was feeling so good I had to remind myself to stop and go get ready for work. This is why I love this combination.Target Endurance (#2809-8) was created to support physically demanding activity. This formula is a blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs which help to increase stamina and endurance, as well as helping to maintain peak energy levels. The formula improves the synthesis of ATP (the molecule which powers energy production in the cell) as well as oxygen uptake by the cells. I have found this formula very useful for my clients when they begin an exercise program. They are able to exercise longer, feel less fatigue and recover faster than when not using this formula. This formula is not limited to physical endurance alone; it also helps the body to better handle any strenuous activity like a sudden increase in your workload at your job.Energ-V (#875-8) is a very well thought out formula which addresses many of the areas which affect energy production. This formula starts by combining barley grass, bee pollen, and kelp, all great sources of energy creating nutrients and electrolytes. The formula also includes capsicum to improve circulation and gota kola which helps you recover from mental fatigue. Licorice root, Schizandra, and Siberian Ginseng are included in the formula as these herbs can help the body to adapt to long term stress, provide additional B-vitamins, strengthen the adrenal glands, and help balance blood sugar levels. Regulating blood sugar and adapting to stress can help you improve your workout or get through a hard workday. Yellow dock is included in this formula, it supplies a natural source of iron to help produce energy and oxygenate the cells. Yellow dock’s plant based iron is non-constipating.Consider this Super Duo the next time you head out to exercise or face a physically demanding day.Folks on Blood Pressure medications need to check with their doctor, pharmacist or come in for a Body, Mind & Soul Consultation to determine if your medications and the herbs will contraindicate each other.To order at the best prices call nature’s Sunshine direct 1-800-453-1422 (do not go on line unless you already have an account established) and tell them Body Glyphix said to call!!______Jewelweed Broth
Not only is this a tasty cold soup for summertime, it is a superior remedy for poison ivy rash.
Sipping 2-4 cups of jewelweed broth, hot or cold, will quell both skin and joint inflammation.
Harvest jewelweed (Impatiens pallida or canadensis) by pulling every 4th or 5th plant up by the roots. We are using the entire plant. The redder the root, the more effective this remedy.
At home, rinse your jewelweed and place it, roots and all, in a pan, pressing it down very well.
Add just enough cold water to barely cover the jewelweed and bring to a boil.
Simmer, covered, until the water is orange.
Cool, then refrigerate or pour into ice cube trays and freeze.
Jewelweed is the companion to poison ivy and can always be found within 25 feet of it. Should you brush against poison ivy- look for the antidote Jewelweed. God put a remedy near every problem ….
We have a couple remedies for poison ivy at the Studio….

THE LAVENDER LABYRINTH & MORE
Come walk the labyrinth, before or after Yoga or a Consultation- or anytime that you are in the neighborhood. The Labyrinth is located just behind our Studio. It is enhanced with organic Lavender and Native Turtle Rocks which coincide with the 4 cardinal points. Feel the energies! Smell the relaxing lavender! Connect with nature!
Begin in the entrance located in the North (earth). Enter with a clear mind as you begin to walk clockwise (strengthening your convictions). Breathe in the lavender- allow it to relax your body, mind & soul. The path will change and you will movecounter-clockwise (releasing negative energy). Feel the energies move through you as you spiral into the center. When you reach the center you will be facing east, invoking the fire element. Pick or choose an intention (manifesting) here. To raise your energies, reach down and touch the Key Stone. This rock was found in our creek bed,and over time the water has spun it and shaped it almost perfectly round! It has many thousands of years of energy (prana) in it for you to access! Stop by the Wishing Well to manifest intentions and don’t forget to visit the frogs in our Buddha Fountain.

This meditation has a special emphasis on health and healing where habitual thinking and thought patterns are reduced or eliminated and it also helps with insomnia and stress reduction. It also brings an incredible calmness, quietness, clarity and is one of the deepest of all meditations. Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep and is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In this Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in this meditation, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras (negative energy & thought patterns). YN is also powerful tool for manifesting. It’s also great for insomniacs and those who suffer with PTSD.
The class is being held Wednesday, August 3rd at 7:30 PM. The fee is $12, pre-registration is a must. Call 652-7805 or email for more information or registration.
