As soon as fall and winter sets in to many parts of the world, people can become depressed or adversely affected in terms of mood and energy because of the lack of natural light.
This lack of sunlight affects the pineal gland, one of the major endocrine glands, located in the head. The pineal gland is involved in hormone function, energy and mood regulation. This syndrome is called Seasonal Affected Disorder, or S.A.D.
As yet this syndrome is not well recognized and often the treatments can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive.
Many years ago, a skilled group of alternative practitioners that I know discovered an inexpensive way of treating S.A.D.
Take an ordinary pocket flashlight. When you get into bed at night, turn on the flashlight and hold it on the center of your forehead for about three minutes. In this process, you are effectively flooding your brain cavity with this powerful light. Repeat this simple procedure every night before sleeping and every morning upon waking for approximately three weeks, and then once or twice a week after that.
It wont take long before you will notice an improvement in energy and mood.
Along with this simple procedure, I find it is even more effective if you repeat a positive affirmation such as:
I am healthy and balanced; I am whole, complete and healthy or see yourself in a healthy setting  in a rose garden, on a beach or mountain top breathing in fresh air and sunshine.

The Body Knows - Ask a Medical Intuitive

Dear Caroline,
Every single December 31st my New Years resolution is - lose weight! I pinch my thighs and stomach, swear off fat and all my treats and then by January 2nd I am back to my old habits. I know that carrying extra weight is a symptom of something deeper but I wish there was a simple solution. Please help!

Dear Brenda,
I totally understand how you feel. For 20 years I struggled with yo-yo dieting until it was discovered that I was eating foods to which I was allergic.
Within a month of avoiding these foods, I lost 20 pounds  never to be regained unless I slipped back into my old eating habits.
The secrets of successful weight loss are all described in my new book The Body Knows Diet  cracking the weight loss code.
I believe that successful weight loss is a code  a recipe which when followed will yield results without starvation and penance. So have faith in your New Year's resolution this year!

These are the five important components of effective weight loss:

1.Food allergies: most overweight people have food allergies  particularly to the common foods that they eat every day. Food allergies can trigger histamine reactions which result in fluid retention.
2.Chronic Candidiasis: most overweight people are afflicted with the Candida Yeast Syndrome, which can trigger tremendous cravings for starches and sugars.
3.Excessive carbohydrate consumption:
carbohydrates (starches) quickly convert to sugar. Excess sugar is then converted to fat and stored in the tissue.
4.Exercise: lets get the body moving, move the lymphatic system, tune and tone up muscles and fibers, increase the heart rate and feel better. Choose something simple that you can commit to every day.
5.Hormone imbalances: another major component in the weight question is hormones. Overweight people often have thyroid problems and related endocrine problems which can affect fat-burning metabolism.
Hormones require careful balancing which can be done through your local naturopathic physician or holistic medical doctor or family nurse practitioner.
We will be discussing individual hormone balancing in my premier Weight Loss Teleseminar.

Now lets take a look at the emotional component. What are you weighting for? Often we use food to placate our inner child which is always hungry for joyful, meaningful expression and hungry for LOVE. How much joy and happiness do you have in your life? Are you enjoying your job and relationships? Are you enjoying your own company and are you at peace with yourself?
These are things to think about as we start the New Year.

I know you've been asking for this - now here it is! I am delighted to announce that I will be offering a re-check teleseminar (telephone conference) program beginning January 19th for 3 weeks.
How does it work? Email me and let me know that you would like to participate in the recheck program.
Cost $79 for 1 session, $150 for 2 sessions and $199 for 3 sessions. We send you a telephone number. Then, on January 19, 26 and February 2 starting at 7pm PST - 10pm EST you call in to the number, enter your passcode and you are able to speak with me live and in person to ask questions and discuss your on- going health goals. The biggest obstacle to getting well and staying on track is having that personal connection and motivation. This is a great way to do it!

Once in a while you get a chance to meet someone famous and special. I met Olivia Newton John in November in Omaha Nebraska when she was on tour. Now 57 years old, she is incredibly beautiful, very pro-active about her health and as always a fabulous singer. Friends and I were invited to her concert and to visit her backstage - what an experience. Her new CD - Stronger Than Before is an inspiration and is filled with beautiful uplifting songs.

"Curious about my life and the history of my business?

I was recently interviewed on Web Sorority Talk Radio. Host Lynne Klippel is so easy to talk to that she got me to discuss things that I usually don't cover in interviews: how my business has grown over the past twenty years, how I balance my work and my life, and how I have been spiritually supported in using my gifts to help others. Listen to the interview for free at www.WebSororityTalkRadio.com.
Don't delay, it will only be available from Jan 1- 9, 2006. Enjoy!"
