My Thoughts on New Beginnings: 2018 

By Wendy Frey, CBS, CSMS, QHC

As we enter this new year of 2018 we often begin by setting fresh goals to achieve, deciding what to bring in that’s new and what no longer serves us we need to ‘let go’. But underneath our day to day life there is a larger story at play that is weaving its energy through our very existence. Each year as we evolve in our history, the yearly number expresses itself as a quality and a tone that reflects the multitude of thoughts, deeds and attitudes of our current society. It seems of late we have gone through expansive times filled with fear, chaos, control, and oppression. It has felt exhausting and negative with few positive high points in between. Turning eyes to this New Year it seems already to feel a little more simplified rather than so heavy and complicated. This new beginning 2018 in numerology, presents a feel of cooperation and the ability to build solid relationships that can be maintained. This energy will be wise, peaceful, charismatic and playful. This coincides well as we are in a very unique time period where we are on the verge of a quantum leap evolving from Homo-Sapiens to a Universal Humanity of co-creation, as described by many visionaries like Barbara Marx Hubbard. By participating as a ‘collective whole’ we can start to dissolve barriers and embrace a sense of community and cooperation rather than the “Me, Myself and I” which seems to have been more often our center of existence. When we can experience a greater fellowship to each other in simple acts of kindness and using words to uplift rather than judge, point and blame, we will be able to raise the vibration of ourselves and our planet that ripples outward as a continuum. 

If I were to give one example of what can be done each day it would be this. In the morning when we arise transitioning out of a dream/sleep state into a waking state, we are psychologically born again each new day. So just for a few minutes take the time to center yourself then invite your spiritual guidance to be with you; do a 3 minute mediation and feel your true self empowered yet humble; let go of expectations; and end by sending Blessings to others of your concern and yourself. During the day bring yourself back to a center point in a quiet space by taking a few deep breaths if you start feeling negativity taking over. These simple steps in mindfulness will keep you more present, healthy and positive. If we each do our part in some good ‘self-care’ and be less reactive, it will reflect in stronger and more caring societies, furthering our Year of Light, 2018.

 What are Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields (PEMF)?

By Wendy Frey

We are entering into the next generation healing work which is based in energy medicine as all energy is electromagnetic in nature, and nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange between cells. Our bodies are made of over 100 Trillion cells and this electromagnetic energy controls your chemistry. Each cell has an electrical charge that impacts the ability to refresh its nutrients and regenerate new tissue. In fact all matter is made up of moving particles and there are magnetic forces that exist in the space around these electrical particles. Since all cells need energy to function, the requirement is ATP which is fundamental to all cell and body functions and is necessary to sustain life itself. ATP regulates cell metabolism by transporting chemical energy within our cells, however, low ATP levels cause our cells to be sick, and decreases their ability to heal, regenerate, or function properly. Through increased motions of ions and electrolytes, magnetic fields help cells increase their energy (or “charge”) by up to 500%. ​ By opening cell channels, dietary nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and waste is more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function. Research has shown that frequent use of PEMF therapies alter stress responses by acting directly on the nervous system, glands, cells, tissues, and organs. For example, by acting on the hypothalamus and increasing urine excretion of adrenaline, PEMFs have been shown to inhibit activation of the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal glands, while preventing a decrease in the body’s ability to resist stress. With continued use of magnetic therapies, the excitability of the nervous system decreases and emotional reactions accompanying stress can be corrected. 

Benefits with PEMF use: Increased energy, circulation and tissue healing ~ Enhances muscle function ~ Decreases inflammation ~ Reduces stress (Stress is responsible for at least 65-70% of all illness) ~ Increases bone healing ~ Reduces muscle tension and pain ~ Improves clotting factors ~ Slows development of arthritis ~ Stimulates the immune system ~ Aids in cell detoxification ~ Improves uptake of nutrients ~ Reduces Blood Pressure ~ Helps nerve and liver function ~ Improves sleep ~ Lifts depression and reduces anxiety ~ Suppresses bacterial infection ~ Oxygenates the blood
