2015 MARKS A m i l e s t o n e f o r Essential Wellness magazine. It’s been an up and down journey, through
twists and turns, to finally arrive at a solid mile marker: 20 years!
Dee and I began publishing a print newspaper, Twin Cities Wellness, in 1995. The name and format changed to Essen-tial Wellness in the mid-00s to reflect a larger regionally-based and global market that we were seeking to reach. We survived the 2008 downturn—barely—and in 2011 ceased print pub-lication to become an online-only digital magazine. It was the way of the print industry with many print publications around us ceasing to exist.
We spent a lot of trial and error on e-newsletters to convey timely, supplemental infor-mation and finally our semi-monthly e-newsletter “Cele-brate Wellness” took off; we’ve produced nearly 200 editions. “Celebrate Wellness” publishes events, resources, articles, and other wellness highlights to an email audience of about 4,000, specifically targeted to the healing and spirituality com-munity. Spinning off this is our first-of-the-month topic-based e-newsletters such as “Celebrate Healing Therapies” or “Cel-ebrate Yoga” or any number of other wellness and spirituality based topic e-newsletters.
We have many staff to thank who helped us along the 20 past years. Soleil Graphics cur-
rently provides our art direc-tion, and has produced our layout for many years; we feel her work competes with the best in the industry. Melissa May, our former graphic designer, put in her “stint” for many years doing her magic with graphics and layout par excellence. Before that Doug Bronson served many years in the same role and was meticu-lous, dependable, with beauti-ful design skills.
Others who’ve worked with us are now on their own paths: Steve Hokenson, Della McGee, Sheila Weidendorf, Michelle Frantzen. There have been too many to name but all benefitted us in getting us to where we are today. You know who you are and we thank you!

hen I s t a r t e d u s i n g f l o w e r essences, I always
had a shock and trauma blend on hand like Trillium Botani-cals Stress Ease. If a bird hit our window and couldn’t fly away, I would run out and place a drop on its beak. It usually recov-ered and flew away, making me happy, but I was never really sure if I helped or if it just needed a minute to shake off the crash.
Then one day, one of my dogs thought that a porcupine was a chew toy and he got quills in his nose, snout, and going all the way through his tongue.
He was writhing on the ground trying to rub away the quills which, of course, only pushed them in farther. By the time I reached him, his eyes were wild with pain. I got him to the house, but his eyes started glazing over with pain. I gave him (and myself ) a quick squirt of flower essences and we hurried to the vet. I was in the back of the car with our dog, trying to comfort him and keep him from causing further damage rubbing the quills into his face. My husband drove faster than usual because we were in crisis-mode, and of course, we got pulled over for speeding. My husband explained the situation and the officer came around the back to check on our dog. As I turned
to show the officer my crazed dog, I realized he was now just calmly looking like a pincush-ion with his tongue hanging out, quills and all, as though nothing was wrong. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
TRILLIUM BOTANICALS FLOWER ESSENCES HELP WITH PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL ISSUES
That was when I truly came to understand how powerful flower essences are. I am grateful for, and in awe of, the Healing Energies of the Plant Kingdom. For decades since then, I have been making flower essences for my family. I have spent years getting to know the healing

powers of flowers on our land and I make Trillium Botanicals flower essences to share this healing with others. Trillium Botanicals Flower Essences, or floral remedies, are flower healing preserved in brandy or vinegar, and are typically taken by placing a 5-10 drops under your tongue, or in a beverage. They can also be absorbed through the skin or spritzed in the air, (there’s no scent), to energize a room. Trillium Botanicals flower essences can help with physical, emotional or spiritual issues such as helping with memory, depres-sion, opening your heart to love, stress, connecting with Nature, shock and trauma, night terrors, anxiety, increasing harmony and many more. Trillium Botanicals flower essences are all made from our own naturally grown or wild flowers, that are respectfully and sustainably harvested or wild-crafted.

Fall into the garden of your own healing
R. DEBBIE E N G E L -M A N N , NHD, owner o f C r e a t e d By Na t u r e
Wellness, LLC, is a featured author in Heart to Heart: The Path to Wellness, a book created by Älska Publishing and officially released worldwide February 26, 2015. In her chapter, “Falling Into The Garden of Healing,” Debbie shares the details of her two-year fight to find her way back from the darkness of grief, deep depression, despair, and overwhelming anger fol-lowing the devastating loss of both sisters, just five months apart. She is one of 43 amazing authors, including the well-
known creators of the bestsell-ing book, The Secret, Dr. John Demartini and Bob Doyle, who also share their personal and inspirational true-life stories of healing.
INSPIRING STORIES SHOW ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Every individual, at some point in time, has asked them-selves, “How can I get through this? Why is this happening to me? Am I even strong enough to work through this?” Questions you may be asking yourself daily or even every moment. The good news is this; you already have the ability within you to have a life full of vibrant health and abundance. The stories in this book will help jump-start your
personal healing plan whether you’re facing an illness, nursing a broken heart, battling demons from the past, or simply wish to begin living a brighter and healthier life. Debbie’s story shares her dif-ficult and painful process of not only processing her grief, but how debilitating it was to finally lose control in order to heal. Her chapter shares the follow-ing about the path she walked during her healing: “During my healing process, I learned to focus completely on myself, began to cautiously face the truth of me, and slowly released myself from my self-imposed cage of fear. The time estimates of others regarding how long I should grieve were

finally ignored. By allowing myself to lose control, I began to stop controlling myself and others. I screamed; hit pillows; wrote pages and pages of memories, hatred, sadness, and unspeakable things; and when I was finally spent, it was upon Mother Earth I fell to surrender my grief and pain.” Artist Patricia Jerde shares the following review:“Debbie Engelmann’s chapter “Falling Into The Garden of Heal-ing” so beautifully describes the process she had to go through to
heal herself. The path she found to that place of healing within herself is revealed with beauti-ful and powerful imagery. That path has led her to the peace and strength she now uses to help oth-ers heal. Knowing Debbie is a gift,
and her story simply reinforces the wisdom she has found on her heal-ing journey. I am so thankful she has shared her path with us in this book, which invites all of us to start the voyage of our own healing.” The message and magic in this book is deep. It stirs the soul, illuminates the path toward healing and shows the reader that anything is possible.

C I E N T I F I C J O U R N A L S SHOW the interconnected-ness of the mind and body, and
that each influences the other in profound ways. Our guts talk to our brains. Our hearts influence both. If we stubbornly insist on a mind that controls our body, we risk limiting what we can create and how much joy we can experience. Studies show people who think in terms of a split between mind and body make less healthy choices—alcohol, stimulants, and fast food for example. The body-mind is a complex, integrated, adapting system that uses neurons and
nerves, hormones and transmit-ters, genes and cells to create a human who can feel, think, and act in the world. All of it inter-acts with every other bit in a two-way conversation.
HANDS, HEAD, HEART
I split the unified body-mind into three dimensions: hands, head, and heart. A trinity like this is found in various wisdom traditions around the world. In ancient Greece, there were originally three creative muses: Aoide, the
muse of song (hands), Melete, the muse of contemplation (head), and Mneme, the muse of memories (heart). In the Vedic philosophies of India, there are three paths to enlightenment: karma (actions of the hands); jnana (knowledge of the head); and bhakti (love of the heart).In psychology and the other sciences of human experience, we also see the trio appear. First came behavioral psychology (hands). We worked out ways to use rewards and rules to change how people act. Then came a rev-

olution in the field that brought us cognitive psychology (head). This helped link thoughts to behaviors. This brought new tools for change like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). Finally, there is now interest in how our emotions and social engagement drive the whole system (heart).
THOUGHTS CAN CREATE CHANGE
Thinking things can change how the body works. In one experiment, one group of hotel maids were informed by scien-tists that the effort expended changing beds and cleaning rooms each day was equal to
the daily level of exercise recom-mended for a health. This group started to lose weight and reduce body mass index and blood pressure. The other group, not told this fact, maintained the same weight. Studies indicate people can consciously change how their immune system responds through a series of breathing, meditation, and experiential exercises. People who believe in acupuncture experience a reduc-tion in pain after a session; those that don’t, do not. The pain relief even shows up in brain scans. Our emotions are vitally important in helping us succeed. Rather than suppress them, it pays to acknowledge
them. They signal to our body-mind to move toward or away from something. They provide us with a charge of attrac-tion or repulsion. Fear pulls us away from threats. Love draws us toward people who can care for us. Decision-making may appear as if it relies on the head; but it is ineffective without the heart, and meaningless without hands. We need all three inte-grated and aligned if we want to have and sustain breakthroughs.

ALL OF THESE symptoms and more could be the result of a simple muscle i m b a l a n c e .
My father invented a device called the Sacro Wedgy® that has been helping all of us as well as a multitude of sufferers for over 20 years. The concept is anatomically sound in that the “keystone” of our anatomy—the sacrum—is held neutral by the Sacro Wedgy® and gravity does the rest.
HOW SACRO WEDGY CAME TO BE
For years this now retired football coach would get his athlete on the training table and
hold their sacrum as suggested by an osteopath. After about 20 minutes he could feel muscles that were fighting and resisting finally subside. He did this for years and consistently got great results which led him to create the Sacro Wedgy® to mimic how his hand would isolate, cradle, and elevate only the sacrum. By holding the sacrum slightly elevated, the hips are now free to drop allowing surrounding muscles a reason to change. The psoas, piriformis, and sartorius muscles are the main three muscles that tend to jam the pelvic girdle and symptoms are created by an imbalance. For instance, the longest muscle in the body starts at the hip and ends right below the knee joint
on the inside. Knee pain could be the result of a hip imbal-ance. All you have to do is relax and rebalance. What could be simpler? The curve of the neck is supported so now both ends of the spine are placed in a neutral position and gravity does the rest. We have many therapists that have incorporated the Sacro Wedgy® into their existing techniques such as CranioSacral Therapy.
THE COST IS MINIMAL
The cost for the Sacro Wedgy® is $33.95 and there is a male and female version for our anatomical differences. The exception is some taller, narrower framed women may be more comfortable on the

male version. If you are not having any “issues,” now is the time to start relaxing on the Sacro Wedgy® to prevent problems. We have thou-sands of testimonials that are wonderful examples of how people are realizing self-care can be very effective for long term correction and preven-tion. I had sciatica once and after relaxing five times for 20 minutes each session the
pain was gone. Everyone is different and there are many variables as to what is the cause but balance can help. Prevention is the key to reducing health care costs and leading a more pain free life.

RE YOU A spiritual seeker? Are you looking for a like-m i n d e d
spiritual community? Do you enjoy the teachings of Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Eckhart Tolle? If so, Mind & Body Spiri-tual Center may be what you have been looking for! As our name implies, we offer a holistic approach to living life fully. We are committed to nurturing mind, body and soul through healthy daily living practices. Mind and Body Spiritual Center supports the positive transformation of both our personal lives and the world
itself. We teach people how to have a personal relationship with God. When we are deeply connected with Spirit, other areas of our lives fall into place; we can do more for others, be better stewards of the Earth, and bring more peace and harmony to the world.
ALL PATHS TO GOD ARE GOOD
Spiritually, we believe that the universe is spiritual and has intelligence, purpose, beauty, and order. Our beliefs are in harmony with all the world’s great spiritual teach-ings, and we honor all paths to God. Whether we call it God, Spirit, Energy, or Universal Intelligence, we are ever con-
scious that all people, places, and things emanate from this Universal Intelligence that is within us and all around us. We believe you and God are inseparable and that God is a Loving Intelligence, oper-ating in and through all life, never separate from anyone or anything. Through study and spiritual practice we come to understand our oneness with this indwelling Divine Presence. We teach and practice a way of life where we can all learn how to live in accordance with spiritual principles. These principles, which we call the Science of Mind, are as reliable as the laws of physical science. We believe in cause and effect and teach that: “It is done unto

you as you believe.” In essence, your thinking and your expec-tations create your reality. By studying and applying spiri-tual laws, you can change your unconscious beliefs and create improved conditions in your life.
NATURAL HEALING WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE
Physically, we offer yoga, massage, alternative healing therapies, and healthy living workshops. Socially, we offer com-munity service opportuni-ties, outings to see concerts, plays, etc. Our Center is a place you can get to know positive, healthy people who have like interests—in a safe,
supportive environment. Our mission is to offer a positive, inclusive, inspi-rational, loving experience to everyone. Some of us use this philosophy as a supple-ment to more traditional reli-gions. Others use it as the foun-dation to their life philosophy. We connect with this Power for Good through meditation, visioning, prayer—in addition to our Sunday morning gath-ering and classes offered at the Center. Our New Thought philosophy allows that each of us has a unique spiritual life. Sunday morning gather-ings are designed to uplift and enhance the quality of your life. Our gatherings offer spiritual support as well as
helpful guidance in caring for your body and keeping your thoughts positive and con-structive. We are reminded that there is a Power for Good, and we can use it, emphasiz-ing the power of our thoughts. Practitioners are available after each gathering to provide affir-mative prayer upon request.
We warmly welcome you to our community. 11:00 AM Sunday Morning Gathering
