THE "WAVE" OF THE FUTURE
Pulsating Electromagnetic Fields
Single or Divorced? Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks and Dr. Gay Hendricks, authors of Conscious Loving, have created a special course called Attracting Genuine Love.
Pulsating electromagnetic fields for health and healing are now here! Already producing benefits such as pain relief, stress reduction, and sleep improvement to European families, the QRS (Quantron Resonance System), an in-home health appliance, is now available in the U.S. Routine use of this simple technology - only 8 minutes twice a day comfortably lying on the QRS mat - enables the body to recover from illness and injury and reclaim its natural state of health. How can this happen? Subtle pulsating fields from the mat maximize cell functioning with no side effects. QRS is safe for babies, adults, elderly, even pets!
HEALTHY LIVING
Simply Well
Goal setting is a dynamic tool for getting things done, and helps you clarify what is important in your life. In "Set Goals for the Changes You Want to Make" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H. explains the power in setting goals, and shows you how to tap into that power.
Conscious Relationships
The reason control never works in relationships is that we're usually trying to control something that's uncontrollable. In "How to Get Free of Jealousy Part II" Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks offer a two-step process. First, you find out what you're really afraid of. Then, you talk about the fear and grief openly, preferably with the person you're jealous about. In a healthy, conscious relationship jealousy doesn't recycle because the partners talk about it on a deeper level.
Healthy Home
