			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Healthy weight loss plans can be easy to implement.  They can also be a challenge if you want to fight the weight loss plan.  The choice is yours.  This is how I help people realize their weight goals.  One aspect often overlooked in weight loss plans is the terminology.  The idea of losing weight goes against what our parent taught us about our stuff.  We were taught ideas like, “don’t lose this, or if you are responsible you will not lose this, etc.”  You might have your own examples of what your parents, teachers, preachers, friends, TV and other sources taught you about holding onto your stuff and being responsible and NOT LOSING IT.  This idea gets imprinted into our subconscious not to lose stuff.</p>
<p>As a wellness coach, using Matrix Energetics, I start having a different conversation with clients looking to lose weight.  Our conversation is aimed at inserting new terminology and ideas surrounding their concept of weight.  Matrix Energetics gives us a playground to make things up that is beneficial to helping that client achieve their goal.  Some of the points during our initial conversation might go sound something like this.</p>
<p>So when you try to lose weight; you are fighting a deep rooted subconscious program.  You might succeed and lose some weight, but what usually happens?  The weight comes back on.  Due to your subconscious program of finding what you lost.  One way to get out of this losing cycle is to use different terminology to reach your weight goals.  You could start by having a goal of a desired weight (without attaching loss to it) or a desired size.  As you take action to achieve your goal with this new mindset, you are no longer fighting against that deep rooted program to keep your stuff. </p>
<p>We want to establish a different reference point to view their weight as just weight, not good or bad.  This also makes it easier to shift into a different possibility (there desired weight) as they take action.  Action is still required on their part, whether they alkalize their body, count calories, exercise or any other action.  By updating their mindset these healthy weight loss plans become easy to implement.    </p>
<p>So come play in the matrix and notice what is different.  Matrix Energetics group sessions in San Diego also has a Meetup group at <a href="http://www.meetup.com/matrixenergetics">http://www.meetup.com/matrixenergetics</a>.  See you on a Monday night soon.</p>
<p>We give you more “Aha” moments,</p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving.  As we approach this holiday season, let’s play with joy and enjoyment from the inside.  Whatever situation you are in, play and have fun.  When you are in a state of joy and enjoyment things appear to be different.  I want to revisit a concept I introduced last July, called quantum surfing (click here for the July newsletter <a href="http://www.fengshuiforyourbody.com/july-newsletter/">http://www.fengshuiforyourbody.com/july-newsletter/</a>). </p>
<p>As you paddle through the ocean currents in your mind, different thoughts pop up that can keep you stuck in a current situation or point towards the next great wave. What are you expecting to see? Do you ignore the thoughts that point towards a great wave? Like I mentioned before, I felt paddling was the hardest part of surfing. You are constantly moving your arms to move your body and surfboard against the waves so you can get into a position to catch a wave back to shore, and start all over again. We do the same thing when we try to think our way out of a situation. Some things may work and some things don’t.</p>
<p>The idea here is to shift the probability so it becomes a stronger possibility.  The quantum waves are just probability waves and as you paddle through them and notice what you notice; you get more things to notice.  As this happens you are increasing the probability to shift your reality.  The more you do this the better at it you get.  You can get to the point where you do not have to paddle anymore; like big wave surfers.  I would recommend watching <em>Step into Liquid </em>to expand the surf concept.  In this surfing movie they also show big wave surfing, where surfers surf waves 60-100 feet high.  When you attempt to surf these moving mountains you do not have to paddle, you get towed out to the wave with a jet ski.</p>
<p>As you increase the probability of the possibilities showing up you can just ride the wave and feel the joy and enjoyment.  If this concept seems too weird for you, I would start with attending a Monday night Matrix Energetics group session or a Laughter Yoga group (there are many free Laughter Yoga groups in San Diego).  In Laughter Yoga you begin to laugh for no reason, like when you were a child.  As a child, you experienced joy and enjoyment from the inside.  You were not aware of a conscious problem to think about you just played.  How would your current situations change if you just added 10% more joy and enjoyment?  Try it; see and feel what happens.               </p>
<p>Oil of the month:  Sacred Mountain – promotes feelings of strength, empowerment, grounding and protection that are a result of being close to nature.</p>
<p>Upcoming Group Session dates Nov 1<sup>st</sup>, 8<sup>th</sup>, 15<sup>th</sup>, 22<sup>nd</sup>, 29<sup>th</sup> &amp; Dec 6<sup>th</sup>.</p>

<p>It is all BS!  What BS (belief system) are you living with?  How is it working for you?  Are you stuck in a pattern, stressed or have a chronic condition?  If so, your BS could be keeping that in your life; more on that momentarily.  Here are a few things to look forward to this October:  better Charger football, fall, daylight saving time, Halloween and oh yeah my new website.  Check out my new website at <a href="http://www.fengshuiforyourbody.com/">http://www.FengShuiForYourBody.com</a>. </p>
<p>The Monday night Matrix Energetics group sessions have been growing in September.  If you are looking for a fun way to shift your reality come check it out.  There are some photos on the website.  You can see stuff is happening in the photos (and no the camera was not moving).  In addition to feeling a change we have a small discussion on various topics and than people can share their experiences of what is different.  The group sessions are every Monday night at 7pm.  Note there will not be a group session on October 11<sup>th</sup>. </p>
<p>Now back to all that BS stuff.  We all have stories and beliefs about why the way things are.  What if there is another reason or another way of looking at a situation?  Your BS could keep you from seeing it, because if one thing could be different than your entire BS about that issue would crumple and your story would no longer support you.  Even as you change and update your BS, it is still your BS.  As long as your BS supports you and moves you in your desired direction, go with that.  You can always change it if needed.</p>
<p>How can you tell if your BS supports you?  Here is how I know.  If I get the desired outcomes I am looking for I am headed in the right direction, hence my BS supports me.  If I keep ending up with outcomes I do not desire than something is not supporting me having that experience, my BS are probably in the way. </p>
<p>There are many ways you could change your BS, and I tired many.  By noticing what you notice, being open to all possibilities and having fun you begin to see things differently and as a result you shift your BS, and get that “Aha” moment.  The key is having fun in what you are doing. </p>
<p>When you are ready to experience what I just mentioned call the office to schedule a private session, come on a Monday or do both.       </p>
<p>Oil of the month:  Gratitude – this essential oil blend is designed to elevate the spirit, calm emotions and bring relief to the body while helping to foster a grateful attitude. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Where to go if you want Matrix Energetics in San Diego?  There are a few choices, but only Feng Shui For Body offers Matrix Energetics group session, mini group sessions and private sessions.  In this post, let’s focus on the group sessions.  The Matrix Energetics group session are held once a week on Monday nights at 7, and are done by donation (suggested amount of $20).  The benefits of these group sessions are many.  The group session are lots of fun, you can meet likeminded people, share your experiences, hear what could be possible for you, hear how others have benefited from Matrix Energetics, laughter, movie clips to help explore different concepts (some of the movie we have used so far are <em>Return of the Jedi, Hook, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Next, Harry Potter</em>), each person gets worked on for a few minuets (enough time to feel a change) and the whole session is under 2 hours.  Some of the concepts we explore are parallel universes, multiple selves, imagination and play.  This is a great environment for someone new to Matrix Energetics or has experienced Matrix Energetics before through a seminar, book, video or another Matrix Energetics practitioner.  Each practitioner does Matrix Energetics differently.  I prefer to make it fun and have fun myself while helping other gain new perspectives on their reality. </p>
<p>While anything is possible, it is not equally probable.  When you start to shift the probabilities you start to experience different realities.  That is where one of the key concepts of Matrix Energetics comes in: notice what you notice.  When this happens you start to notice changes in your life that were not changing before.   </p>
<p>So come play in the matrix and notice what is different.  Matrix Energetics group sessions in San Diego also has a Meetup group at <a href="http://www.meetup.com/matrixenergetics">http://www.meetup.com/matrixenergetics</a>.  See you on a Monday night soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>‘When we measure, most of us judge what we are measuring.  We try to analyze it.  We try to make sense of it.  We try to make it mean something that fits our perception of the way the real world functions.  There is something called innocent perception.  Innocent perception or practicing the patterns of perception means that you notice whatever shows up.  Our path of expectation assumes that there is a cause and effect to things:  that if we do this, then this will happen, and if we do not, then something else will happen.  There is no logic to it.  But it is a logic we have embraced. </p>
<p>Your experience of reality, however you define it, is what you are able to observe and define.  This does not mean that you cannot have an experience outside the confines of your reality.  What it does mean is that in order to have an experience, you may have to step into a different way of observing, which is fine.  One of the things you are going to learn in this book is how to <em>notice what you notice.</em>  I am not referring to your ability to notice what you think you are supposed to observe or think.’ taken from <em>The Physics of Miracles</em> by Richard Bartlett DC, ND.</p>
<p>By noticing what you notice you can begin to experience new things even in routine situations.  Go with what gets your attention; it could be the carpet, the walls, lights, a piece of clothing, shoes, etc.  You may find yourself laughing for no reason, go with it.  You may have laugh in your mind, but allow yourself the space to do so.  As you are doing this your routine situation will begin to appear different because you are different, and you are interacting with the situation on a different level. </p>
<p>If you would like to experience new ways of looking at things with other people doing the same; come join us at our weekly Matrix Energetics group sessions on Monday nights at 7pm in my office. </p>
<p>Oil of the month:  Into the Future</p>
<p>Helps to foster feelings of determination and a pioneering spirit, helping you leave the past behind so that you can move forward.  Rather than accepting mediocrity because of fear of the unknown, using this blend will enhance enjoyment of challenges leading to success. </p>
<p>Events:</p>
<p>Matrix Energetics group session at 7pm in my office.  Each person will get to experience Matrix Energetics.  Suggested donation $20.  Upcoming dates are Sept. 13<sup>th</sup>, 20<sup>th</sup>, 27<sup>th</sup> &amp; Oct 4<sup>th</sup>.    <em>  </em>  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A New Way to Improve the Flow of Energy in Your Life</p>
<p>by Dr. Brian Perks</p>
<p>Are you satisfied with your current levels of success, health, and personal growth? How about the relationships in your life? Would you like to know how to use the principles of feng shui in your body?<br />
Feng shui focuses on improving the flow of energy around you and in your environment. It operates on an energetic level to bring you the highest levels of good fortune. By incorporating the power of your thought energy, feng shui initiates the law of attraction.<br />
The flow of energy in the space you’re in is not only influenced by the objects around you; it’s also affected by your thoughts. How your energy field interacts with your external environment is the basis for what is called Feng Shui for Your Body.<br />
There are four main categories you get to play with, depending on what you are looking to co-create. Also known as your four best directions, the four categories are success, health, relationships and personal growth. There are also 24 frequencies which activate different levels of your best directions. Some of the frequencies include balance, clarity, joy, transformation, health, and abundance.<br />
In feng shui, your good fortune is the sum of three kinds of luck: Heaven Luck, defined as what you were born into; Human Luck, which encompasses your attitudes and behaviors that determine what you do with your Heaven Luck; and Earth Luck, the positive or negative influence of your environment.<br />
Each type of luck is one third of your total fortune. Traditional feng shui improves your Earth Luck and Feng Shui for Your Body improves your Human Luck, combining to make up 66 percent of your total good fortune. Science is now learning that the way in which you interact with your environment affects your epigenetics. Defined as the study of heritable changes, epigenetics controls which genes get turned on and off. This begins to affect your Heaven Luck, creating the possibility to access over 70 percent of your total good fortune. Now you can begin to see how it is possible for you to become a powerful co-creator. As you are balanced energetically and the “gunk” is removed from your energy field, your subconscious is clear to use the law of attraction to achieve that which you desire.<br />
The law of attraction is always working, but it does so on a subconscious level. If your conscious and subconscious minds are operating on two different pages, it can appear that the law of attraction is not working, when in fact, it is. You are simply experiencing what is in your subconscious mind, while consciously, you want something else.<br />
This explains how you may have ended up in situations that you did not consciously ask for. Feng Shui for Your Body harmonizes your energy, allowing your conscious and subconscious minds to work together. This is how you can effectively change your physical body and achieve new success in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>AWE-some August.  Is your body a mess from stress?  While these stresses may come and go, how you respond to your stressors will remain the same.  That is, until you change how you respond.  By viewing the situation differently or changing the context of the stressors, your “stressful” situations begin to change around you.  It is not the stress that makes your body a mess, but how you respond to the stress that makes the mess. </p>
<p>When I work with someone that is under stress; our interaction is not aimed at changing the stress in their life, only deleting or inserting information so the stress can be viewed differently.  Once the change is done all you have to do is notice what is different.  This allows you to stay open for new things to show up and at the same time decreases the affects of your old stressors on you.  Plus, you will feel a difference after your session. </p>
<p>Read what Dianne experienced after her session last week.</p>
<p>Dr. Perks is amazing with his Matrix Energetics work! I was under a tremendous amount of personal stress. I felt as if I was going through not just one “bad hair day” but a whole series of them where everything just seems to keep going wrong or breaking down at the same time. Dr. Perks gave me a Matrix Energetics session, and at the end of it, I felt a little lighter and more relaxed. The following days continued to improve as my stress response dissolved into a new and resourceful flow of energy giving me a much brighter outlook. Dianne Ruth, PhD, <a href="http://www.dynamicresources.net/" target="_blank">www.DynamicResources.net</a></p>

Or want to come see what I do.  FENG SHUI FOR YOUR BODY is now offering Matrix Energetics group sessions to help you de-stress Monday night at 7pm, August 9<sup>th</sup> &amp; 16<sup>th</sup>.  In addition to a brief discussion on related topics; I will work on each person at the session.  When you are being worked on you do not have to share what it is you are working on.  These sessions are by donation (suggested donation $20).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Aloha.  I am still riding that quantum wave; grab a board and come along for the journey.   “Still, it is all about the wave.  Waves are this kind of unifying force in the universe.  There are light waves, sound waves and ocean waves; ocean waves are the only form in which they’re at a human scale.  They move at a speed about as fast as we run.  They’re in this beautiful medium, the ocean.  All it takes is just one wave – not even that, one turn.  Just a moment that keeps pulling you back; to have another moment, and it never ends.  There’s a tribe a people around the world that feed off that energy.  It’s not part of this world.  You’re stepping into liquid.  You’re stepping off of concrete ground and into an element that is always changing, moving and surrounding you.  And it feels good.”  – <em>Step Into Liquid, introduction.</em> </p>
<p>All the endless possibilities surround us as we go through our day.  The possibilities are always changing just like the ocean.  What you observe and perceive is what you get.  Your expectations begin to form your reality.  We simply can’t just watch the universe happen around us.  Quantum physics experiments show that the act of observation is an act of creation, and consciousness is doing the creating.  For this reason, physicist John Wheeler, suggest that we shift from the idea of observer to participator. </p>
<p>We are always participating in creating our universe.  We have a tendency to get stuck on what is not working or give excuses for why something is the way it is.  The more excuses we have behind our current situation the more we are attached to it.  These excuses support our current problem(s).  For those of you who have experienced FENG SHUI FOR YOUR BODY, you know that your time in the office is not spent dwelling on your problem(s) and their attached excuses, but rather we begin to focus on what you are looking to create.  By observing/participating what your body does when we enter that state of creation we can change and move around those unconscious road blocks that hold you back from experiencing what you want to create.        </p>
<p>As you ride the waves in your life, enjoy the journey.  Even if you wipeout, you can get back up and ride the next wave.  Recently, I took up surfing, and for me the hardest part has been paddling.  As I paddle in the ocean, it seems like I am not even moving; but sooner or later I am in position to catch a wave (the fun part).  After your ride is over, it is back to paddling to catch the next wave.  Making changes in your life is similar to learning to surf the ocean.  Your experiences, excuses and your beliefs are the oncoming quantum waves you get to paddle through.  As you are paddling to survive it seems like nothing is changing.  But, as you participate and view things differently in this quantum ocean, the waves change around you so you can stop paddling and start surfing.      </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>“There are many ways to run a successful company.  What works once may never work again.  What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once.  There are no rules.  You don’t learn to walk by following rules.  You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it’s because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over….Most of what I have done with the Virgin Group is about my own gut instinct.  I’ve never analyzed what I do in any formal way.  What would be the point?  In business, as in life, you never step into the same river twice,” from <em>Business Stripped Bare</em> by Richard Branson. </p>
<p>Whether you have a physical complaint or a reoccurring stress that is wearing you down, how you observe it, is how it shows up in your reality.  You might try something and it works.  That does not mean that the second time will produce the same results.  It can, but why limit your experience to one perceived outcome?  This concept can be explained by the famous double slit experiment in quantum physics. </p>
<p>The double slit experiment went something like this.  Scientists took an electron gun aimed it at a screen with two slits in it with a wall behind it.  The wall would record the electrons as they hit it by sight and sound.  With one slit open they observed a particle like distribution on the wall, a single band of dots.  When they open both slits, 2 bands appeared on the wall.  When the scientist left the room and stopped watching with both slits open there was and interference pattern on the wall (alternating black and white lines, like an Oreo cookie).  The electron now behaved like a wave not a particle.  How could that be?  The act of measuring or observation collapsed the wave function of different possibilities into what they expected to see, a particle.  For more details about this experiment check out this on YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_tNzeouHC4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_tNzeouHC4</a>. </p>
<p>Now back to how you observe your physical condition or reoccurring stress.  The act of just observing the problem creates the need to have the problem.  Now, I am not saying to ignore your problems.  I would suggest allowing different possibilities to show up so you can experience a different outcome. </p>
<p>Like there are many ways to run a successful company there are also many ways to change your current situation.  When you do something differently you allow for a different outcome to show up.  I agree with Richard Branson, there are no rules. </p>
<p>To learn more on how to apply quantum physics principles to your life, join me for Quantum Physics &amp; Vitality on June 27<sup>th</sup>.  If you have a physical condition or reoccurring stress and want to change it sooner, call the office to schedule a private session.          </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Marvelous May!  Mayday, mayday, mayday we have a solution.  This may not sound right to you, because we have been programmed with the idea of mayday indicating some sort of distress signal.  Our programming forms a perceptual filter to show us the world we interact with.  Where did this programming come from?  There are many avenues from your parents, teachers, preachers, culture, TV and the internet to name a few.  This programming is passed on in the form of a meme (rhythms with team).  We are always being exposed to new memes (commercials are a great example).  A good meme is easily spread from person to person.  Note a good meme is not always a good idea, it just easily spreads.</p>
<p>A meme is a unit of information in a mind whose existence influences events such that more copies of itself get created in other minds (taken from <em>Virus of the Mind</em>).  There are 3 types of memes according to Richard Brodie.  Distinction-memes are ways of labeling things.  Strategy-memes are beliefs about cause and effect.  Association-memes are connections between memes.  For more information about these 3 types of memes read <em>Virus of the Mind</em>, by Richard Brodie.</p>
<p>I bet you have experienced this before.  Ever buy a new car and all of a sudden you see them everywhere.  You got a new meme and it changed your perceptual filter for cars.  Now if a friend starts noticing your new car all over the place, you just passed your meme to someone else.  It is that easy. </p>
<p>Once someone convinces you something is true or right or something you should do you are now programmed.  If you begin to see your memes are half-truths (depends on the context they exist) you can begin to change your programming and install new memes that support you. </p>
<p>If you have a complaint or a fear pattern (both memes) and believe that to be true, then all you ever see is that complaint or fear pattern.  At FENG SHUI FOR YOUR BODY you begin to open up to other possibilities, where your complaint or fear pattern does not seem as true as it was before.  That opens the door for you to install a new meme which can then show up in your life.  Believing that something will happen often makes it more likely to happen, also known as the self-fulfilling prophecy.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Did you know that phobias were noted from the days of the Greek physician Hippocrates about 2400 years ago?  At the time, Hippocrates and his peers thought that fear was sent down from the heavens.  According to Greek mythology, the Greeks would call upon their gods for help and to blame them if they were suffering.  The word phobia comes from the Greek word phobos meaning intense fear or terror.                  </p>
<p>So why is public speaking so frightening?  What is the worst that could happen?  Considering how much power we let these fears have over us, it is amazing how vague and general they can be.  Most people can’t identify exactly what makes public speaking so terrifying.  Many experts tell you to practice, practice, practice until the fear diminishes.  I know from personal experience that practice alone was not going to release my fear of speaking.  It is hard to practice something that terrifies you and it is not much fun.  Yes, I could have forced myself to do that, but why not make it fun in the process?  Looking back at what I have done and knowing what I know now, the process of changing that fear pattern can be done rather quickly.  For some of you just reading this article can start the change process, for others you might need some private sessions.  I am not saying you do not have to practice.  But it is much easier to practice and prepare once you change that old fear pattern into something else. </p>
<p>Traditionally acting classes, speaking groups and other public speaking tools approach this subject from preparation; so that you can perform without thinking about it and be in the moment.  I view this as taking the creative process and making it very linear.  You see your left and right brain do not function the same way.  Your left brain is controlling in nature.  It tries to rationalize, judge, reason and interrupt what is going on.  It gathers information from your 5 senses and processes that information in a linear fashion.  Kind of like a movie.  It does this very quickly so you perceive this as one continuous image.  Researchers say the left brain process information at 10-15,000 bytes per second. </p>
<p>Trying to memorize your speech or count ums and ahs is very analytical and your left brain loves to do this and it does it well.  I found doing this just added stress and kept me in my head, and thus out of the current moment. </p>
<p>Your right brain is much more powerful.  This is the part of you that uses images and emotions to gather information and it works as a parallel processor.  Meaning that, it can process several different things at the same time.  The same researchers estimate that the right brain process information at a rate of 10-15 million bytes per second.  The key is to use both sides and have them play nicely together. </p>
<p>I still prepare but do not try to memorize my speech, but rather know the information and however it gets presented in just dandy.  If I teach the same class and every time it will be different.  I use whatever pops into my head during the presentation to get the information across to that audience.  This might sound harder to someone who is normally very analytical, but I just ask that you play with this concept and see what happens.  Why not use to the parallel processor of your right brain?  After all, what you are currently doing is not working so well.  Isn’t time you release your fear patterns?  You be you, and let the Greek gods play with fear and phobias.    </p>
<p>In a fun and playful way FENG SHUI FOR YOUR BODY can help you change this fear pattern to give you more “Aha” moments!  For more information come to my next event on Releasing Your Fear Pattern on April 21, or to get started now call the office for a session. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Do you have a fear pattern (or phobia) that stops you from fully living?  I know I did.  .  So what do we develop phobias of?  The answer is anything.  The National Phobics Society has a list of over 250 phobias.  Phobias cross boundaries of language and culture and can affect anyone.  The great news is that this fear pattern does not have to control your life anymore. </p>
<p>According Helen Saul author of <em>Phobias: Fighting the Fear</em>, fear can be confronted, and long term inhibitions and preoccupations undermined almost immediately.  This is encouraging for anyone with a phobia.  In addition this change can happen and happen quickly.  The root cause may never be known, and often has no bearing on the outcome.  Once your phobia pattern is changed it is changed without a trace.  Phobias can be wiped out forever. </p>
<p>In a fun and playful way FENG SHUI FOR YOUR BODY can help you change this fear pattern to give you more “Aha” moments!  For more information come to my next event on Releasing Your Fear Pattern in April, or to get started now call the office for a session. </p>
