This Saturday’s New Moon is an especially powerful time for personal transformation and intention work. According to Judith Star-Medicine’s latest blog post (see link below).  It brings “Increased optimism and a willingness to trust the self and the Universe” and “embrace the limitless possiblities of the void”. 

Marie will lead a guided meditation. There will be an opportunity to write down and then burn what we want to release so we may open to new possibilities. This will be followed by a celebratory potluck dinner and chimney fire.

MEDITATION: 6:30 – 7:15 pm

POTLUCK DINNER:  7:30 pm

ADDRESS: 22A Arrandale Ave, Great Neck NY 11024

Space is limited. Please register as soon as possible via phone 516-455-2206 or email. 

Please park on the street, and walk up the driveway to the cottage behind the larger house.

Please arrive either before 6:30 pm or after 7:30 pm so as not to interrupt the meditation. Thank you!

I look forward to sharing this powerful time with you!

A talk by Marie Regis, M.S., L.Ac

WHERE: At the NAVEL Expo, Huntington Hilton, 598 Broad Hollow Rd.  Melville NY

WHEN: Sunday Nov. 8th 2015 at 11:00 a.m.

In its 4,000 year history, Chinese medicine has developed a highly sophisticated theory of the relationship between organ function and emotional/mental health. In particular, today’s science is supporting the view that a healthy digestive system is central to healthy brain chemistry and adrenal health. In this lecture, Marie explains the theory behind this work, and shares dramatic stories of recovery in clients who suffered from chronic anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and depression from the mind-body approach provided by acupuncture.

Entry fee to Expo $20. A limited number of free tickets to the expo are still available. Please call Marie  516-455-2206

MICROWAVES: Still Dangerous to your Health!

Several studies suggest that that foods are altered on the molecular level as a result of microwave cooking. This has been called the “microwave effect.” Many still argue that the microwave effect is a myth, but a several studies have come out supporting this theory. Most notably, a study released by Penn State University in 2001 stated that conventional and microwave heating produce very different changes at the molecular level. The study also referenced a 1995 study which demonstrated that microwaves, unlike other heating devices – can destroy viral DNA. Another study conducted in 2003 examined broccoli prepared in the microwave and found that it had lost 97% of its valuable antioxidant content.

Our modern world is dominated by processed food, and most of the fresh produce we do eat is grown in heavily depleted soil. To most of us, eating completely raw is definitely not enticing, so opting for the best possible cooking method is important. Light steaming, stir-frying in a high quality oil or simmering in a soup or stew are healthy alternatives. Cooking vegetables just enough to soften the fibrous outer covering of the vegetable to make it digestible, and no more, preserves much of the vital nutrients of the food. Many people choose to eat a lot of their vegetables raw. Traditional Cultures and Chinese medicine in particular consider this an unhealthy habit as it tends to weaken the digestive system and lower metabolism. This can lead to weight gain and other health issues.

Container Chemicals & Food Fats Leak Into Your Food

We’re all familiar with the “Microwave Safe” label found many food containers, but this label is  misleading. Despite what many people think, it only means they can be used in a microwave without melting or starting a fire. In fact,  numerous toxic chemicals can leak into your food when heated in a microwave. Chemicals such as polyethylene terpthalate (PET), benzene, toluene, xylene, the now well-known BPA, and even its so called safer alternative BPS. Many of these chemicals have estrogen-like effects on women’s bodies (thereby putting some women at greater risk for breast cancer). Some can affect brain development, or contribute to diabetes, prostate disease, and more. The microwaving of fatty foods in “microwave safe” plastic containers can cause the release of
the known carcinogen dioxins. Glass storage containers are a better alternative and a worthy investment.

Even A New & Safety Inspected Microwave Can Leak Radiation

Microwave manufacturers , thankfully have put into practice higher safety standards in the newest microwave ovens. Thanks to their hard work, some previous concerns have been rectified, however there still is still some exposure, especially when standing within a certain radius of the appliance when in use. Even a new, perfectly functioning microwave can expose us to up to 400 milliGauss of unwanted radiation. To put that into perspective, exposure to a mere 4 milliGauss has been linked to leukemia. Steering clear of microwaves when in use is certainly advisable for all but is particularly critical to pregnant women and children.

Acupressure for Headaches and Allergies: with Marie Regis, L.Ac.

Like acupuncture, acupressure can be very helpful for those of us who suffer from allergies or headaches, two often related problems. Learn reflex points in the hands and feet, face, and back can help reduce symptoms and melt away stress. Marie will also discuss the value of using certain essential oils in combination with acupressure to support the immune system and open the sinuses. Learn tools to help yourself and enjoy the wonder of the outdoors this year!
