Join Greg Vitali State Representative 166th Legislative District at Saturday's environmental summit 02/14/2012
I will provide a legislative update during the 7th annual Delaware County Environmental Summit, which will be this Saturday, Feb. 18, at the John Heinz Wildlife Refuge, 8601 Lindbergh Blvd., Philadelphia. My discussion, which starts at 9:15 a.m. in the Cusano Environmental Education Center, will cover H.B. 1950, the recently enacted Marcellus Shale legislation; H.B. 2113, my legislation to mitigate air pollution from drilling; and the impact Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget would have on environmental programs. The event also provides an opportunity for municipal officials and homeowners to learn about stormwater management techniques. Other scheduled speakers include Brian Vadino from the Delaware County Conservation District, who will discuss rain barrels; Karen Holmes from the Delaware County Planning Department, who will discuss Act 167 stormwater requirements; and Valessa Souter-Kline from the Philadelphia Water Department. The summit, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., is free and food will be provided. It is being organized by Delco Concerned Citizens for Environmental Change, a group of local environmentalists that includes residents and business owners. The group's mission is to promote awareness of environmental issues such as global warming, water conservation and management, energy efficiency, alternative energy solutions, sustainable building design, recycling, composting, and community-supported agriculture. People who plan to attend can register online at http://delcoenvironmental.tripod.com or by calling Jaclyn Rhoads at 267-221-5274. Chakras and Acupuncture 01/24/2012
October 12, 2009 (Updated October 19, 2009) By A. Lee and Allison Burgess, Contributing Columnists, and staff of CollectiveWizdom Chakras are, for those who believe in them, centers of energy in our bodies which can activate healing. Chakras belong to a cluster of mind-body healing practices which include yoga, meditation, qigong, reiki, acupuncture and aura manipulation. All of these practices try to draw from energies which are not obvious to the naked eye to achieve physical healing. Is there anything to it? In other words, do chakras work? The emerging answer is "yes". Scientists have long noted that yoga, acupuncture and meditation and simple belief summon the body's power to heal. For example, in World War II, Dr. Henry Beecher used mind-body healing to treat soldiers on the beaches of Anzio. Morphine was in short supply, so the doctor merely injected saline in the wounded soldiers. To his surprise, he discovered that the soldiers who had merely been injected with saline expereinced complete pain relief. Subsequent research has further supported the unseen connections between relaxation and meditative techniques and wound healing. A 1999 study by researchers from Emory University found that meditative practices activate production of melatonin in the body which in turn reduced the size of breast cancer and prostate cancer tumors. The researchers theorize that meditative and relaxation practices modulate the release of stress hormones which may otherwise undermine the ability of our immune systems to combat infection and the growth of tumors. Much as Einstein's Theory of the Universe illuminated the way that unseen forces influence the way that our observable, physical universe works, new integarted theories of the mind-body connection are being developed in medical science to explain how healing occurs. A 2001 study by Professor Change of Emory University heralded this new emerging paradagim of mind-body healing. As Professor Chang observed "Meridians and chakras are related to the underdifferentiated, interconnected cellular network that regulates growth and physiology. This theory explains the distribution and nonspecific activation of organizing centers and acupuncture points; the high electric conductance of the meridian system; the polarity effect of electroacupuncture; the side-effect profile of acupuncture; and the ontogeny, phylogeny, and physiologic function of the meridian system and chakra system. It also successfully predicted several findings in conventional biomedical science ". Chakras, meridian systems and acupuncture points are ways to visualize the organization of your body's natural healing centers. Once activated, these centers may summon your body's power to heal itself. As many of our HSC family already may know, a tragic fire over the holiday season occurred at the Sullivan family home destroying property, belongings, and pets. No human lives were lost and, as far as we are told, no injuries reported. It is times like this that shows how fragile our own lives can be and that in an instant all can vanish. It is also times like this that show us that we are not alone and someone is always there for us by giving a hug and lending a hand. HSC is asking that our membership please consider donating what you can for the Sullivans so that they can move towards a restoration of life that we all hold dear. Tim Carfrey, U-10 travel soccer dad, is heading up the effort. Please send whatever you can to: Tim Carfrey 820 Beechwood Road Havertown PA, 19083 You may also contact Tim Carfrey to offer any further assistance.?

The premise of Floortime is that an adult can help a child expand his circles of communication by meeting him at his developmental level and building on his strengths. Therapy is often incorporated into play activities -- on the floor. http://www.autismspeaks.org/what-autism/treatment/floortime-dir Thank you to Deirdra Wright President and Founder of ASCEND: http://www.ascendgroup.org/ for sharing this with us The Wrights are another wonderful Havertown family.

Officials at NASA say they are now entering a new stage of a mission intended to place a pair of probes around Earth’s nearest neighbor and only satellite. In a statement issued earlier this week, NASA mission controllers say they are preparing for the twin spaceships, named Grail-A and Grail-B, to enter the moon’s orbit over the weekend, the space agency’s latest attempt to send probes to the moon.

Vanda Scaravelli:biography Trained as a concert pianist. For most of her life she lived in Florence and Rome, Italy. It was whilst hosting Krishnamurti in Switzerland that she learnt yoga. Both Krishnamurti and Scaravelli were instructed for several summers by two yoga students recommended by Krishnamacharya. They were Desikachar and B.K.S Iyengar. Iyengar has a formidable knowledge of postures, and Scaravelli also learnt the benefits of incorporating breath with movement from Desikachar. Although these were inmportant sources of information, the yoga that Scaravelli developed came from her "inner teacher", by trusting her body and learning from it, developing a softer more feminine approach to yoga She felt she had discovered, or uncovered something worth sharing with the world and passed on her knowledge through her teachings. Vanda Scaravelli died, aged 91, in Italy in 1999. Scaravelli's yoga teaching continues today through the work of Dona Holleman, Diane Long, Erich Schiffmann, Esther Myers, Mary Stewart, Sophy Hoare, Sandra Sabatini. Points to Consider in Vanda Scaravelli’s System of Practicing Yoga Postures (Asana):
