Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a natural, safe, rapid, non-addictive and legal way to increase serotonin levels: What is serotonin? A critical neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you calm and happy and helps you to sleep. This is the same neurotransmitter that prescription antidepressant drugs effect, as well as illegal drugs such as Ecstasy. Research studies measuring increased serotonin levels have only been done in animals because brain tissue samples must be taken. Anecdotal evidence for humans is very strong. Hundreds of my clients report very rapid and dramatic improvements in mood, energy, and sleep within days of beginning regular vibration sessions. Thousands more report immediate mood improvement (as well as pain reduction which will be covered in a future blog post) after free demos at health shows where I exhibit Body Vibes.

Increasing Bone Density
Whole body vibration has been proven in numerous research studies to increase bone density: Studies on mice, sheep and turkeys have shown dramatic results increasing bone density up to 30% from 6 months of daily vibration (with simultaneous corresponding decreases in fat). Studies with people have shown slower but steady rates of bone density increases. A likely reason for this difference in results is that the animals are usually young and healthy (able to respond and heal faster) and eating controlled diets with all the proper nutrients and minerals included. Human studies focus on older people where there is a high incidence of osteoporosis or osteopenia, and people often do not eat optimum diets. How vibration works to increase bone density: It is the contraction of muscle fibers where they attach to bone… [Read More]
Workbook Chapter 10: Unbearable Inner Conflict
In Chapter 10 of Becky’s memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss, the mystery of Victor’s tortured personality is revealed. Twenty-five years before Becky met Victor, he was falsely accused of sexually abusing his young daughter. Found innocent in a court of law, his reputation was nonetheless destroyed along with his career, family life, honor, livelihood, friendships and connections in the community, etc…. Rage and heartbreak compete with a loving, sensitive soul for his sanity. Is there tragedy in your life that has caused heartbreak (for you or someone close to you)? How have you dealt with this trauma? Has it left lasting scars that still affect you, and your life, to this day?
Workbook Chapter 9: Dating Sean Connery
As Chapter 9 of her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss opens, Becky is dating Victor, a charismatic James Bond type character. But like Sean Connery, Victor has a dark side. Sean Connery has been accused of abuse by his ex-wife, and buried rage from a devastating injustice many years earlier percolates deep inside Victor. Becky is advised by her cousins to, “Run for your life… these guys never change,” but she is not so sure of that, and not willing to give him up. Her own experience of transformation through energy therapies and life experiences has given her a deep belief in the ability of people to grow and change, especially when aided by homeopathy and whole body vibration. What do you think leads to personal growth? What helps or hinders it? Can… [Read More]
