Body Essence Day Spa & Yoga Studio: in inner-city
New Farm!
Body Essence Day Spa and Yoga Studio in inner-city
New Farm was launched recently by international spa
and Yoga devotee Miriam Van Doorn and encourages us
to be in touch with our senses and also our spirituality.
The stylish address where glorious green Lotus flowers
cascade the glass walls on the street front give a splendid
hint of what is to come as you then enter the doors
to this dedicated wellbeing retreat. Shelves lined with
Elemis Spa Products and other exquisite spa products
all exclusive to Body Essence New Farm line the shelves,
and the whispering room with its cool chic seating is
a private entrée to what is a truly indulgent urban
spa experience.
Spa treatments from the classic to the contemporary
are given with much respect by devoted therapists who
believe in nurturing each guest and meeting their expectations.
The extra-spacious spa rooms with inspired Balinese
influenced décor include the additional luxury of your
own private shower in each room. And the couple's room
says it all. A truly luxurious experience when shared
with a loving partner or friend for special celebrations,
or the everyday.
The Yoga Studio is a polished and discreet space with
private lockers and a mirrored wall to allow you to
observe your practice. Pilates classes are especially
designed to bring a contemporary feel to the studio
practice with special regimes designed to allow you
to achieve specific results. Miriam's philosophy is
to build small but regular classes with no more than
ten students in each.
This very stylish and very savvy inner-city address
where every client need has been addressed also features
private onsite parking to ensure a seamless visit.
The marriage of inner and outer beauty care has been
central to Miriam's work as a globe trotting spa manager
who has been described as "a living icon of wellness".
She has a Midas touch when it comes to creating spas
that also function as retreats from the world

What
is Detoxification and What is Used For?: By Nirala Jacobi
ND ( USA)
What is Detoxification and what is it used for? By Nirala
Jacobi ND Living in the twenty-first century is becoming
increasingly hazardous! Exposure to pollution, chemicals
and heavy metals. A nutritionally depleted food supply.
Chronic stress. These are becoming the norm rather than
the exception. Is it any wonder that chronic health
problems are becoming more common?
Living in our modern world we are all exposed to a multitude
of substances that stress our detoxification pathways.
Many health conditions can therefore benefit of a whole
body cleanse. There are many cleanses out there but
not many actually support all the systems of detoxification.
I am very experienced in clinical detoxification and
know how to guide you safely and efficiently through
your cleansing experience.
What is Detoxification and what is it used for?
Detoxification and cleansing are used to stimulate and
support all the body's means of processing and eliminating
hormones, chemicals, and other substances that we are
exposed to on a daily basis. It is aiding the body in
getting rid of unwanted substances.
A poor ability to detoxify may contribute to illnesses
like allergies, chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia,
and chronic fatigue; digestive problems such as irritable
bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease; hormonal
issues such as PMS and menopausal symptoms; or skin
conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. But you
need not suffer from any particular illness to do a
detox/cleansing program. It is beneficial for almost
anyone wanting to improve their health.
It is not a question as to whether you've been exposed
to toxins - the question is whether or not these exposures
are significantly impacting your health. A detoxification
or cleansing program is one way to help determine if
this is the case.
The Body's Systems for Detoxification and Elimination
Skin: Your skin is your largest organ and as such is
an important part of your body's detoxification process.
Sweating is the main way to detoxify through the skin.
This can be accomplished through exercise, sauna or
fever treatments.
Kidneys: The kidneys function to filter the blood of
the body's waste products. Drink plenty of fluids. This
is especially important during the detox process, as
you will be mobilizing potential toxins out of your
tissues and into your bloodstream.
'Lungs: Your lungs are responsible for filtering your
blood of carbon dioxide and replenishing your blood
with oxygen. Oxygen is an important to function of every
cell in your body. Certain toxins are also removed through
the lungs through expiration.
Liver: Your liver is your body's detoxification powerhouse.
Among it's many duties, your liver helps to filter your
blood through the phase I and II detoxification pathways.
The nutrients required for this process are vital for
proper detoxification. If a detox program is suggested
for you, you will receive instructions as to which products
are right or you.
Intestinal Tract/Colon: The surface area of your digestive
tract equals that of half a tennis court! Many processes
of elimination occur here. An improperly functioning
digestive tract is often the source of many of the body's
ailments. For example, constipation can lead to the
recycling of estrogens meant for excretion resulting
in an increase of total estrogen in the body. But not
only estrogen is reabsorbed therefore constipation must
be avoided while doing a cleanse of any magnitude. Colon
hydrotherapy can greatly improve the health of your
colon and are recommended treatments while doing the
detoxification program.
Lymphatic System: The work of the lymphatic system includes
carrying cellular wastes back to the vascular circulation
so that it can be properly excreted. Because fats are
transported by this system from the gut this system
can get sluggish and congested. Massage, body scrubs,
hydrotherapy, exercise, and sauna are all good practices
to decongest your lymphatic tissues
"Toxicology textbooks list the first symptoms of chronic
poisoning as low energy, fatigue, muscle weakness, inability
to concentrate and intestinal complaints."
Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., The 20-Day Rejuvenation Diet Program,
pg.23.
How long will I need to cleanse?
That will depend on the severity of your condition and
your detoxification reserves. For example, a detox is
not recommended for those with chronic constipation
(until constipation is resolved), a weakened constitution,
or severe illness. Sometimes just a one week cleanse
can be enough. Many people, however, can easily tolerate
a 3 week cleanse. What's involved in the detox program?
Herbal and nutritional products to support your liver
and other organs of elimination
A meal replacement drink to be taken 2-3 times daily
A specialized hypoallergenic detox diet
Examples
of our daily toxic exposures:
Phthalates (chemicals used make plastic flexible) have
been found to be elevated in young girls (aged 6 months
to 8 years) with premature breast development - this
chemical and its metabolites act like estrogen in the
human body.
In one study, 2 different pesticide metabolites were
found in 19/20 and 20/20 samples of fetal meconium -
a marker of in utero fetal exposure to these chemicals.
US Children's Urine Studies showed that when the same
pesticide metabolites were tested for in Seattle preschoolers,
99% were positive for at least one.
Some people have genetic differences in their ability
to detoxify. This means that different people may react
differently to the same toxic exposure.
If you do not have daily bowel movements and plenty
of fiber in your diet, it is very likely that you will
recycle toxins processed by your liver, even if it is
processing them effectively - colonics can dramatically
reduce this problem, as can fiber supplements such as
psyllium with plenty of water to keep your digestion
in motion.
The Dirty Dozen: 12 most-contaminated fruits & vegetables
(in this order) - strawberries, bell peppers, spinach,
cherries (US), peaches, cantaloupe, celery, apples,
apricots, green beans, grapes (Chile), and cucumbers.
12 least-contaminated fruits & vegetables (also in order)
- avocados, corn, onion, sweet potato, cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts, grapes (US), bananas, plums, green
onions, watermelon, and broccoli.
Tuna from a can contains less mercury than fresh tuna
- probably because smaller fish usually have less mercury.
Great Lakes fish such as Walleye, bass, and perch all
have more mercury than either kind of tuna - possibly
even double the amount.

Organic Cotton Clothing is Now Essential for Baby's
Health : check out Organic Babe and Kids Wear!
We care about our consumers and want to do our very
best to make a difference.
Not so long ago people have started to think about the
environment and the benefits there are in putting on
beautifully designed baby clothes that are free of chemicals,
dyes, pesticides etc.
Pesticides don't only harm the earth: statistics report
that 60% of field workers in the cotton industry show
symptoms of permanent poisoning. These pesticides have
not only been linked to declining sperm counts and increased
cancer, traces have also been found in the milk of animals
and nursing mothers.
Certified Organic: what does that really mean?
It means that raw cotton meets the standards set forth
by government and private certification boards that
regularly inspect farms.
Creating a pure, natural environment is a vital decision
for growing number of parents.
Majority of baby clothes we buy today are made of synthetic
materials such as polyester and nylon. Both of which
are made of petrochemicals.
Little is known how this could be affecting our babies
and the concern with pesticdes and chemicals in mindboggling.
It is time that consumers are helped with knowledge
and to be able to chose a beautiful product knowing
that the government has endorsed it and knowing that
the government is 100% behind in helping save the environment.

Holosync:
Meditation Made Easy!
The
benefits of meditation on the mind and body have been
known for thousands of years and have recently been
validated in scientific studies. Unfortunately, many
people find it difficult to meditate and give up without
receiving these benefits. This problem has now been
solved with the release of a powerful audio technology
called Holosync that sends a very specific stimulus
to the brain and creates states of deep meditation,
quickly and easily.
Stimulating the brain with Holosync releases stress-reducing
chemicals that are highly pleasurable. Most people go
easily into a deep, trance-like meditative state normally
only attained by experienced monks who have been meditating
for over 20 years. In fact, EEG studies show the brain
patterns experienced are actually deeper than those
attained by monks.
As new neural pathways connect and synchronise the two
sides of the brain, individuals develop what scientists
call "whole brain functioning," which improves learning,
intuition, mental clarity, creativity, concentration,
and intelligence, as well as amazing quantum leaps in
insight and self-awareness.
New research also reveals that even short-term exposure
to Holosync creates significant increases in DHEA which
is a precursor, or source ingredient, to virtually every
hormone your body needs and is a buffer against stress-related
hormones . It is a key determinant of physiological
age. When DHEA levels are high, the body is at its peak
- vibrant, healthy, and able to combat disease effectively.
Holosync also increases your ability to deal with stress
and releases emotions such as anger, fear, sadness and
anxiety. When Holosync is used regularly over time,
many people discover that dysfunctional feelings and
behaviours fall away - even those that have stubbornly
resisted change in the past.

Decisions- Which way do we go?
by Andrew Januszak
With grain crops increasing in price by 50% in some
countries over the last month, the question of food
security looms ever larger. The debate rages over whether
to use agricultural land to grow crops for fuel. Andrew
contributes an outline of the viewpoints and perhaps
an answer to our woes. .

Laughter
is the best medicine!
A
little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race
appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve
and they had children and so was all mankind made."
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question.
The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys
from which the human race evolved." The confused girl
returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible
that you told me the human race was created by God,
and Dad said they developed from monkeys?" The mother
answered, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you
about my side of the family and your father told you
about his."
Quote
of the week!
I wandered through the vacant field with
dirt its only friend, With lack of green and lush fresh
fields I wandered once again.
To
search the crowd and clustered space, that took me down
a path of super-social splendid groups, where I found
it hard to laugh.
When all I searched for was a soul who shared my wit
and joy It seemed like I would never find the person
to share my ploy.
And
so it was.. with a hopeful mind I set my path down straight
And along this path I stumbled on a surprising lifetime
mate.
