Mineral Oil

The human skin is the largest organ in the body and must have proper nutrition to carry out its many important functions. We should be just as concerned about what goes on our skin as what we eat and drink. The fact is that most of the ingredients in the products we use are absorbed by the skin into the body.

Large cosmetic companies are continuing to use synthetic and petrochemical ingredients in personal care products. Pick up any bottle of lotion, cream, shampoo, conditioner, or toothpaste in your house right now and see how many natural ingredients they contain. (Or how many ingredients you can even pronounce!) How much synthetic material have you fed your skin today? The skin acts as a filter for the body. For even the smallest molecule not seen by the naked eye is being absorbed and in some cases being stored in our bodies.

Mineral oil is a common ingredient in commercial lotions, creams and baby care products. Mineral oil is a clear, liquid oil with no scent and will not spoil. It is produced as a byproduct of gasoline from crude oil. Mineral oil is leftover liquid, and because it is plentiful, it is very inexpensive. In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil, than to purchase it!
Mineral oil is the MAIN ingredient in many baby care items. Baby Oil, Vaseline (petroleum jelly), baby wash liquid soap, and baby lotions ALL contain mineral oil as a MAIN ingredient.

The problem is that mineral oil is foreign to the human body and has many harmful effects, especially to infants. Some of the effects of mineral oil may be a little surprising.

Mineral oil acts as a thin layer on the skin. It is difficult to absorb and clogs the pore, which
slows the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins. Remember, the skin is the body’s largest organ and plays and important role in maintaining overall health. Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract; it will absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins found there. It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies. Studies have also shown forms of pneumonia caused by mineral oil decreasing lung function, known as lipoid pneumonia. Because of these dangers, the medical community has condemned the use of mineral oil taken orally or as an ingredient in medications.

Look for all natural lotions and shampoos, not only are they not HARMFUL, they are actually BENEFICIAL to your body.
A few are:

BLEACH ALTERNATIVE


I "clean green" most of the time, however, I have not found a good bleach alternative to Comet. After scouring the web and books, I found this home made answer!

LEMON JUICE: Cuts through grease and removes perspiration and other stains from clothing. A bleach alternative.
BORAX (sodium borate): A natural mineral that kills mold and bacteria. An alternative to bleach, it deodorizes, removes stains and boosts the cleaning power of soap. Please note to keep this away from children and pets.

To make a Non-Abrasive Soft Scrub:
1/4 cup borax
Vegetable-oil based liquid soap (such as Castile Soap or Murphy's Oil Soap)
1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil

In a bowl mix the borax with enough soap to form a creamy paste. Add lemon oil and blend well. Scoop a small amount of the mixture onto a sponge, wash the surface, then rinse well.

This is the most divine scouring product I've ever used. It smelled wonderful and left my hands smelling like lemon, instead of bleach! It was a joy to clean my sink.

To learn even more about Essential Oils, attend the class March 27 @ 7pm. Email Free for more information, info@thecenterofpower.com.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a non-intrusive method of hands-on healing that taps into the energy referred to by philosophers and martial artists as ki in Japan, chi in China, and prana in India.

Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, a religion, or a tool for diagnosing illness. Reiki is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promoting balance among all the body’s systems and the normal regenerative process of the body and mind.What is a Spiritual Integration/Rejuvenation Session Like? Come to a session in loose, comfortable clothing. You will lie on a table fully clothed.

Little or no pressure will be applied and no massage oil will be used. Essential oils may be used, although they are not necessary to receive the full benefit of your treatment. Hypnosis may or may not be used, depending on your needs. Reiki can be a part of this session and through Reiki the amount of energy needed will flow through the practitioner, to you. You will receive only the amount you need to bring your mind and body into balance.

Reiki and Rejuvenation Therapy may be used together and is not only healthful, but pleasurable. One of its greatest benefits may be the opportunity to let go and enjoy the experience of being nurtured and cared for.

An hour long session is $90 with Free. She is also teaches Reiki Classes.
Trained in Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Yoga and Theta Healing, Free Livingston holds a Masters in Education and has been an educator for over 20 years. She does private sessions and group classes on a variety of topics related to Spiritual and Physical Wholeness.

Many ancient cultures including the Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and Egyptians embraced the belief that life energy flowed through the body deeply affecting our bodies, minds, and emotions. Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend throughout and beyond the physical body and that disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental and emotional illnesses.

The healing art of Reiki (pronounced “RAY-key”) addresses these imbalances to support your good health and well-being.

Mind/Body/Spirit Rejuvenation Therapy

Why do people get Mind, Body, Rejuvenation Therapy?
Plain and simple, they’re tired. With all that we put out to others and our jobs during the day, there is little to none left for ourselves.Our minds are on overload and our bodies become run down. Our immune systems our challenged and we’re just not our best selves. Stress relief, focus and clarity of thought are two automatic side effects of this work. If you’re going through or have gone through a divorce or experienced any kind of loss; friendship, job, love, you may benefit greatly by spending one very special hour with you! Get back to your center and what is most important to you and for your health, leave balanced and empowered.

What this session Can Mean for You
It
alleviates pain and stress and promotes restful sleep, healing and relaxation. Relaxation in itself promotes a host of benefits from the mind and body including a heightened sense of well being,release of muscle tension, and relief from anxiety and depression.In addition, relaxation has been shown to help restore immune function and improve circulation, enhancing healing throughout your body.

Reiki and Rejuvenation Therapy may be used together and is not only healthful, but pleasurable. One of its greatest benefits may be the opportunity to let go and enjoy the experience of being nurtured and cared for.

The History of The Center Of Power

Today’s world is filled with overwhelming illness and disease caused from stress. Because of this, nearly $16 trillion will be spent towards healthcare by 2030. New and revolutionary therapies are coming into the health care scene to ease costs and provide real results at a faster pace than traditional treatments. In Henderson, NV one such therapy has emerged that combines the new and old, the traditional and alternative to create an effective treatment for stress and related disorders.

The Body, Mind, and Spirit Rejuvenation Therapy® is a method of channeling and focusing the different energies of the body, mind and spirit and balancing them to work in harmony together. It releases unhealthy energies, heals the heart, and helps individuals achieve more clarity and focus which usually results in more productivity, better health and greater life satisfaction.

The Center Of Power was established in 2000, by Free Livingston, to facilitate people finding their power, their center. Even though the life circumstance of each person is different, it really comes down to one basic issue – accessing your inner power. In my opinion, that is the key to all health – physical, mental and emotional. That is where the name The Center Of Power came from. It is my goal to help everyone access their own Center of Power to make healthy and desired changes in their life. I feel that once your own inner power is tapped into, change is easy and effortless.

While pursuing my Masters Degree I was taught guided imagery and saw how effective it was in helping my students focus for a test. Soon I only wanted to teach in that way. I searched and found a great alternative therapy school (hypnotherapy) and attended the intensive training in San Francisco. During our course work we had opportunities to learn from experience and I saw how easy it was to release past issues, even without the people involved present. I learned such effective and yet gentle techniques that have since helped people work through divorce, childhood traumas and focus on success and present happiness.

Do I use hypnosis in the rejuvenation sessions? Yes, and no. I use an aspect of hypnosis called guided visualization. It’s more like guided daydreaming. In combination with the Reiki and Aroma therapies, I have found a much more amazing experience happens. All of the techniques used are on their own very powerful; however, when used together, they work in such a powerfully synergistic way most people are truly amazed by the experience and call me later to tell me what the results were from their Rejuvenation Session.

EveryDay Yoga was established in 2001, as a subsidiary of The Center Of Power and is now providing a comfortable haven for beginners and a challenge to yogis at Healthy Connections. A personalized program can be developed for anyone wanting to relieve stress and lower blood pressure to toning and losing weight. It is possible to see results in as little as 3 weeks. EveryDay Yoga is a supportive, relaxed environment in which you can find serenity and peace of mind while creating a stronger, firmer, healthier body.
