| Featured Practitioner Jeffrey H. Getzell, O.D. | | Vision problems can be the root of mental and emotional underachievement, can cause challenges in physical performance (sports), attention span, and can cause confusion with verbal or written instructions. It limits enjoyment and ability in reading, and can cause a general feeling being ungrounded. Many people don’t make the connection between vision and performance and don’t realize help is available to them. Often we associate vision with seeing clearly, but it involves much more. Vision is really a process of understanding our world and then doing something with it. Vision is both processing and performing. The vision process organizes how we think and move. Vision is the dominant process for learning and performance. Vision governs or has major impacts on cognition, posture, balance, movement, speech auditory process, and emotion and feeling. Dr. Getzell works with the whole patient rather than just the patient’s eyes. ChicagoHealers.com. practitioner Jeffrey H. Getzell, O.D. specializes in holistic eye care, diagnosis and treatment of vision problems, performance lenses, visual training and syntonics. |
Personal empowerment takes on a unique meaning for every individual. Empowerment may come through making choices that create wellness and happiness in our lives. Not only is personal empowerment a result of daily living, but it may come through overcoming adversity and adapting to change. The scope of personal empowerment is vast; it can occur through physical activity and also through contemplation of our inner psyche. Because Holistic healing is based on the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit, personal empowerment involves not only solving an immediate issue. The best outcomes evolve from self-examination, analysis of past behaviors and experiences, and through developing attainable goals. There are opportunities for personal empowerment in all areas of your life. The Wise Woman’s Transition: Midlife/Menopause as an Opportunity for Empowerment with Dr. Marilyn Mitchell, M.D. |

| What is Your Body-Mind-Soul System Trying to TellYou? |
| By Liat (Scheffer) Ben Yakov, MBA,CSTBody-Mind-Energy Balancing is the core of every holistic therapy. It is based on the understanding that there is neither separation nor boundaries between body, mind and energy (soul). Each and every organ and system has its own specific function, not only physical but emotional and spiritual as well. Happiness, health, satisfaction, knowledge and prosperity can not reach their full potential without the understanding and the balancing of the entire system. Life brings about different types of stressful situations, unpleasant experiences, and traumas which leave their marks on our body, creating negative feelings and wrong insights on ourselves and the world around us. We all have repressed feelings and emotions caused by experiences we had as embryos, babies, children and even as adults. In order to repress we contract our muscles, which causes disruptions in the circulatory system. These contractions create stress in our body, pain and diseases – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual; accumulated for years without our control and usually even without our knowledge. Individuals usually react only when they begin to experience pain or disease. Unfortunately they then seek treatment which is typically symptomatic – medication or even surgery, unaware of the fact that the symptoms were valuable signals. For most of us it is easy to understand that when embarrassed we blush, our cheeks become red and our pulse increases; when scared we start to sweat, our muscles get tense and our heart beats faster; bad news can paralyze us and excitement raises adrenalin levels in our body. Nonetheless, we find it hard to believe that loneliness, sadness and dissatisfaction can also be expressed as physical symptoms.

Vibrant health is one of life’s greatest gifts. Many strive towards this state of high-level wellness. This is where our whole being of body, mind and spirit is in balance and harmony. Energy, peace and gratitude flow as we feel connected to the present moment. Many consumers are seeking ways to achieve this level of health with the use of integrative medicine, a melding of holistic and prevention modalities along with the crisis care of allopathic medicine when appropriate, in order to reach their vision of high level wellness. A friend of mine, Rev. Barbara Pescan of Evanston, IL once wrote:
We are more than our ailments, more than the sum of our addictions, co-dependencies, operations, scars and lapses. We are whole. It is an interesting conundrum that when we pay more attention to the health in our lives and less attention to the illness, that is where the healing begins – in refusing to let the illness determine the value of our lives. Find a way to act subversively today on the side of health. And may you find blessing.
Imagine individuals and our nation paying more attention to true health, rather than disease. Allow yourself to be a bit of a rebel and act subversively today on the side of your health, and the health care in our country. How can you do that? Embrace the new science that is based on an energy paradigm. Read on….. Gina Orlando, MA, CH is a wellness consultant and certified hypnotherapist with 26 years in the holistic health field. |
