BioElectric Shield - Notes on Healthy Joyful Living

Wishing you a joyous holiday season.

Whether you celebrate the holidays or not, the season brings extra stress. Stores are jammed, traffic patterns are completely snarled around major shopping area, you're trying to get your already stretched budget to stretch to cover gifts and holiday entertaining, there are too many things to do and places to go, and we worry that we're going to have to decline an invitation and hurt someone's feelings, then, of course, there are the every present family issues. Another kind of stress comes if you don't have a family, or aren't able to be with them over the holidays.

Regardless of who you are and what your religion is there is a lot of energy and emotion around the holidays. We've included some ideas on how to get through the holidays with less stress and hopefully more joy.

There is more to be concerned about holiday travel this year. The new scanners present some serious dangers to your health. (See article below) We highly recommend wearing your Shield if you're going to be flying.

Have a safe and happy holiday season,

Invasion of the Body Scanners: Airport Security May Not Work, But It Does Cause Cancer

Posted on November 23, 2010 by James Ridgeway

On the eve of some of the busiest travel days of the year, airport scanners are causing hysteria - and with good reason. Never mind the puerile TSA screeners giggling at your naked body. It turns out that the things may pose serious health concerns. In a letter to John Pistole, administrator of TSA, New Jersey Congressman Rush Holt, a scientist and the Chairman of the House Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, raised the possibility that the machines might be carcinogenic.

In March, the Congressional Biomedical Caucus (of which I am a co-chair) hosted a presentation on this technology by TSA, as well as a briefing by Dr. David Brenner of Columbia University on the potential health effects of "back scatter" x-ray devices. As Dr. Brenner noted in his presentation and in subsequent media interviews, the devices currently in use and proposed for wider deployment this year currently deliver to the scalp "20 times the average dose that is typically quoted by TSA and throughout the industry."

Dr. Brenner has pointed out that the majority of the radiation from X-ray backscatter machines strikes the top of the head, which is where 85 percent of the 800,000 cases of basal cell carcinoma diagnosed in the United States each year develop. According to Dr. Brenner, excessive x-ray exposure can act as a cancer rate multiplier, which is why our government should investigate thoroughly the potential health risks associated with this technology.V

Various experts have questioned whether older people and children ought to be subjected to scanners, and whether people susceptible to or having melanoma and cataracts should undergo the scan.

Enjoyment vs. Stress. Holidays May be Especially Difficult if You're an "Extra Sensitive Person"

The holidays are here again. This time of year is always filled with loads of emotion, anxiety, anticipation, love, joy, worry...it's sometimes hard to stay focused and boundaries tend to get very blurred more easily at this time a year. We're all trying to have the Christmas Spirit, unfortunately, we often think that means giving up too much of ourselves, our time, our energy and our money.

• Do you avoid certain people or places because you feel uncomfortable, tired, angry, sad... around them?
• Do you unplug your telephone because you are afraid someone will call and ask for a favor?
• Do you ever drink too much at parties because it is the only way you know to relieve tension?
• Do you ever say yes to doing something for or with someone when you know you really don't have the time, energy or resources?
• Have you ever spent time with people you don't like or feel uncomfortable with because you are afraid to hurt their feelings?

If you answered yes, to any of these questions, you may be struggling with boundary issues or you may be a Highly Sensitive Person.

We all want to feel secure, loved and accepted. But can we do it, without shrinking our world, or giving up our self-identity?

Dag Hammarskjold once said, "The more carefully we listen to the voice inside of us, the more clearly we will hear what is sounding outside."

You can hear that voice inside more clearly when you aren't hearing the voices of everyone else. The Shield can actually help you with this. The Shield deflects other people's energy, thoughts and emotions and allows you to be in a stronger, clearer space.

If you are especially sensitive you might want to consider a Level 3 Shield. If you want help choosing a Shield our consultant can tell us which one is going to be most effective for you. Find out how you can send in your photo for evaluation.

Healthy and Happy during the Holidays

How do you get through the holidays without feeling exhausted, drained, frustrated and sad? There's no one answer, but what I've found helps is to over and over again take a few minutes to set priorities. What really needs to be done? Who do I really want to spend time with? Can things be simplified? It sounds like I'm talking about tasks here doesn't it? Well, emotional boundaries and our to-do lists tend to get blurred together, our desire to connect in loving ways causes us to lose track of what we can or should do on all levels.

One thing I've found that has helped me over the years is wearing my BioElectric Shield. The Shield helps your energy stay centered and balanced, and helps to deflect other people's energy. However, because we are often so connected to friends and family, we tend to still reach out and let in or absorb too much of their anxiety, pain, anticipation....you get the general idea. If you are highly sensitive, this is even a bigger issue for you.

The Shield can't keep you completely isolated, nor can it keep you from taking on energies when you open yourself up to them. It can, however, assist you in being aware of what's you, what's not and help you learn to shift that old pattern. Take a few minutes a day to center yourself and ask if what you're feeling is all yours. If not, just take a deep breath, and hold the intention that you will be clear, loving and present, but will be so without taking on anyone else's energy.

Recharge Your Shield

Don't forget to recharge your shield.

Hang Shield in natural light either in a window, or preferably, outside. (More info about recharging ) We usually just keep it on the cord or chain, and loop it over a lawn chair. This allows it to hang freely and absorb the energy from the sun. (Be sure you secure the loop by wrapping around something, then pull Shield through the loop, pull to make sure it can't come off)

IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A SUNNY DAY for you to recharge your Shield. It's not the light that the shield needs; it's the energy vibration from the sun that recharges the crystals. However, bright sunlight does make it charge faster. So, if it's sunny, leave it out for 3 continuous hours; if cloudy, for 6 continuous hours. If you are hanging it in a window that blocks certain parts of the light spectrum, leave it for 8 hours.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SHIELD OUT IN THE MOONLIGHT! The moon is reflected energy from the sun, thus it pulls energy away from your Shield. If you ever forget, hang your Shield out for twice as many hours as it was left in the moonlight. To insure it is functioning at 100%, you can send it in for recharging and repolishing.

Suggestion for worry-free recharging: Recharge your Shield during the New Moon (dark) phase. That way if you do forget and leave it out overnight, there's no harm done, as there is no moonlight shining on it to drain it.

ROOM SHIELD NOTE: Your Room Shield is constantly recharging using the ambient light in the room. Unless you have it in a completely windowless room, you don't need to recharge your Room Shield.

If you haven't charged your Shield regularly for more than two years, you may want to get it recharged by us in our Montana crystal charging circle.

POLISHING It's summer and silver and brass both tend to tarnish more when it's hot, humid and you're, well, sweaty. Sorry, just can't think of a better way to say it.

You can polish your silver chains and Shields with any commercial silver polish. Brass can be cleaned with Brass or other brass cleaners.

Or you can order our treated polishing cloths - they do a great job, and no liquid mess. We recently found a video discussing various polishing cloths, and this one was judged the best on the market by professional jewelers. Order your polishing kit

NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING ON POLISHING KITS - If this is your only item, our system will charge you between $8&$9
for shipping, (Our system just can't fathom that we can put them in an envelope and ship) Go ahead and select that option and to make up for the shipping overcharge we'll send you TWO polishing kits.
