DEFORESTATION HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF!In other great news, satellite studies show that deforestation in the Amazon has plummeted 55.6% inthe last year! The Amazon is our largest rainforest in the world, often referred to as the “lungs” of theEarth. It plays a vital role in cleaning the Earth’s air. The Brazilian government committed topreserving the rainforest and got to work with the promise that deforestation would be completelygone by 2030. They have made good on their word under climate-passionate leadership.Deforestation is the act of clearing massive plots of land by burning trees. Why is deforestation bad?Deforestation itself is a chemically toxic practice for the environment. Following deforestation, thepollution continues with use by the farm and meat industries, which have been proven to haveextensive impact on our climate. Then, of course, there is the fact that deforestation cuts down ourEarth’s largest resource to clean our air. So, CHEERS to loving the Earth and making huge moves toprove it! Take a moment to feel grateful to the people fighting for our world and that we have such abeautiful Earth to live on. THE POWER OF AFFIRMATIONSWhat a tribute to the power of the word. When spoken, words are sounds carrying avibration. All vibrations are energy pulsations. Quantum physics tells us that all physicalmatter is really composed of energy waves moving at different rates of speed—therefore all words carry a vibration that interacts with matter. How powerful then, touse affirmations which are a collection of interrelated, intentional words capable ofinteracting with matter.Of course, all words are generated from thoughts—one must have a thought beforespeaking words. And so, your thoughts also carry a certain energy vibration. Inaddition, emotions are often attached to those thoughts, influencing the quality of thevibration.The energy that words carry is the power to influence matter. If God, or the universal intelligence, is what is behind the creation of all matter, then itwould stand to reason that the more you are in tune with the vibration of the universalintelligence, the more powerful and effective your words will be. When you are inharmony with it, you and your words easily become a part of that powerful vibration atthe center of all creation.AMAZON RAINFORESTBy: Michael RosenbaumGrow Wellness HypnotherapistTo book a hypnotherapy or past life regression session with Michael,call 203-403-3710 or email office@growwellnesstherapy.com“Affirmations are statements of Truth that are repeated over and over – aloud or mentally,with deep concentration – until one actually experiences that truth through realization.” Paramahamsa Yogananda

There is a story called the FlowerSermon in Zen Buddhism where theBuddha gave a wordless sermon to hisdisciples and students. The story of theFlower Sermon was originally titled inChinese Niān huā wēi xiào, which means“pick up a flower and smile.” One day, the disciples and students ofthe Buddha gathered to hear himspeak. When he arrived, however, hedid not speak a word. A wordlesssermon followed with the Buddharevealing a white lotus flower toeveryone.The LessonTherapeutic Benefits:Relieves anxiety and depressionLowers stress hormones in the bodyIncreases circulationCreates clarity of mind and balanceImproves focus and memoryActivates the parasympathetic nervous systemRelieves chronic pain Reduces inflammationTreats insomnia Cultivates peace with trauma and grief+SO MUCH MORE*For full list of medical research sources,visit growwellnesstherapy.com/ReikiTHE FLOWER SERMONLet’s talk about Reiki. What is it? The practicewas founded by Mikao Usui in Japan. Reiki isan energy healing modality where thepractitioner uses specific hand techniques,intuitive channeling and therapeutic trainingto balance the mind, body and spirit. Reiki. practitioners are trained to channel healingenergy into any areas that may be carryingtension, trauma, or anything that doesn’tbelong. Hospitals and western medicine havejoined the Reiki movement, witnessing firsthand how impactful and effective Reiki is inthe lives of patients. You can find it inhospitals and rehab centers all over theworld. Reiki has also transcended boundariesof religion, with it’s use in almost all majorreligions as well as scientific communities. By: Kathleen Jaramillo Kweskin LMT RYT RMT No one understood the sermon andlooked at each other confused. Noone understood the sermon exceptfor one disciple, Mahaksyapa, whosmiled. He saw that the flower was awonderful reminder that while allforms can be appreciated andenjoyed, they are fleeting. Our mostsacred value is in the moment, righthere, right now. As the sermon came to a close, the Buddha then transmitted ZenBuddhist leadership toMahaksyapa.Message: The teaching is in the EMBODIMENT of mindfulness, beyond practice. Mindfulness is moment tomoment awareness of sensations, feelings, and perceptions. A meditation practice allows us to enjoy the nectarof our life by not living in the past or the future. By putting the BEING back into humanBEING, we can learn howto live freely. This is our true natural state therefore we are also unlearning social norms and conditioning thatmay be keeping us blocked. So, your homework is to pick a flower and smile. Soak in its fleeting beauty and thesweetness of the moment. Back to basics, back to peace.REIKI...

BODY HACKING The world of women's fitness is gettingsmarter by the day…actually, by 30days. The fitness trend commonlyknown as, cycle syncing, is all aboutadjusting your workouts based on thefour phases of the body’s menstrualcycle. The practice of cycle syncing notonly signals good news for women,but for men as well; now men areable to better support theircounterparts with solid scientificallyaccurate knowledge. It really bringsa new meaning behind “the moreyou know”!The four phases are known as thefollicular, ovulatory, luteal, andeveryone’s favorite, the menstrualphase. The hormones in a woman’sbody are on a 30 day cycle, opposed totheir male counterparts 24 hour cycle.This means that you can sync the typeof exercise you do during each phase ofyour cycle to get top results. CAN CAN GRATITUDEGRATITUDE CHANGE YOUR BRAIN CHANGE YOUR BRAINGratitude is a super power that can behoned and developed to change theway you see your reality. When wepractice gratitude and begin to live ourlives from a vantage point ofgratefulness and therefor wisdom, weadjust the vibration and frequency thatwe operate from. Why does gratituderequire wisdom? Eventually in age comes the discoveryof impermanence, that tomorrow reallyis not promised. If you can embrace thisTODAY, you are able to soak in theblessings of what you have. You seethese simple things, such as the roofover your head, the food in your belly,your family, for what they are... gifts.The day you are experiencing right nowis a gift, and the only appropriateresponse is gratefulness.When we adjust our mindset towardsgratitude and away from complaining,away from negativity, we readjust ourbrains filter of our reality. Interruptanxiety with gratefulness. The reticularactivating system within our brainsserves as the filter we create, and itfilters information according to what wedeem a priority. So, if you areconsistently focusing on the fact thatyou never have enough, your brain willfilter your reality to match this. If youare practicing gratitude and aware ofthe abundance of your life, your realitywill be filtered to match this.After a three week study at Berkeley of100 participants, practicing gratituderevealed a changed MRI scan.There was more activity in the medialprefrontal cortex, the brain areaassociated with learning and decisionmaking. Gratitude = The secret key to alife of abundance! Compassion is in our blood -The Dalai LamaPRACTICING GRATITUDEWays to practice gratitude:1. Gratitude Journal 2. Meditation 3.
