Whole Body Vibration Might End Loneliness
As published in Eden Magazine May 1, 2017 I’m alone . . . but not lonely, well maybe a little lonely. I’m traveling, on tour with my business for six months through areas of the country where I know no one, and my mother passed away one month into this trip.

Loneliness was an unwelcome companion most of my life. My earliest memories are of not feeling a part of the… [Read More]
Losing Your Mother
On February 15, 2017 my mother passed away. I have been dealing with the grief and trauma of that major life event throughout February and March. This article was published in the April edition of Eden Magazine. Devastating, overwhelming grief… my brain blasted so fiercely that it stops functioning. I cannot think, remember, focus, concentrate. My self-confidence drops away, and I am suddenly a young child again, needy and unsure, desperately wanting my mother. I do the dumbest things, like getting lost driving home, a route I have driven a thousand times. I can’t find my toothpaste, along with a million other things, and I burst into tears because this confirms my fear that I am unfit to take care… [Read More]
Can “purring” bring you health & happiness?
Cats purr, which creates a vibration that travels through their entire body, and they do this when they are happy but also when they are sick or stressed. Cats also rarely suffer bone or joint related issues, or even bone cancers, in fact they generally have strong bones and joint health, and an amazing ability to heal injured bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Is purring the root of the myth that cats have nine lives…?

Detoxing with Whole Body Vibration
What is detoxing and why do you need it? Our environment is loaded with thousands of toxins, including heavy metals, environmental toxins, prescription medications and antibiotics. It is estimated that there are over 30,000 chemicals in common usage today in the US. As much as we try to avoid them, if you eat, drink and breathe you will have built up levels of all sorts of toxins in your body as well. In an PBS TV special several years ago Bill Moyers, as a typical healthy person, had his blood tested at Mt Sinai School of Medicine. 84 different and highly toxic substances were found in his blood and body. Toxins have been linked to many chronic diseases. Detoxing is the process of your body ridding itself of… [Read More]
Energy and Whole Body Vibration
Physiological changes seen with WBV that increase energy levels: WBV has been show to increase testosterone levels which is linked in both men and women to their energy level, mood and libido, as well as sexual performance in men. As men get older their testosterone level gradually declines — typically about 1 percent a year after age 30. Women have testosterone levels about 10% of men’s to begin with and their testosterone levels drop rapidly at menopause. WBV increases circulation bringing additional oxygen and nutrients to all cells providing the fuel for cellular metabolism, which creates energy. WBV raises serotonin – a major antidepressant effect which can dramatically affect energy levels (see blog post Powerful Antidepressant). Increased muscle strength (see blog post Muscle Strength). Vibrational energy (chi) is unblocked and balanced: A different energy, your vibrational energy field, is… [Read More]

How whole body vibration (WBV) helps you lose weight: WBV is an intense workout (see earlier post Increase Explosive Muscle Strength, April 4, 2012) and like any workout this will increase your metabolic rate so you burn more calories and lose weight more easily – but the time required to achieve the same results is much less.

WBV helps you be in that calm and relaxed, but energized mental state where you can achieve your goals…. [Read More]
