1. Energetic nature of ourselves & the world in which we live
2. Energetic fields interact & influence one another
3. We have the ability to control our interaction with these energetic fields
Where are we going?

How Does Technology Effect Us?
• Creates Oxidative Stress & Free Radicals
(Source: Electomagn Biol Med, 2011)
• Damages Cell Membranes• Affects Cell
Communication• Disrupts Cell Division • Aging, Heart Disease,
Arthritis, Cancer, and most chronic disease

• Decreases:– Melatonin (Source: Indian J Environ Med, 2010)
– TSH (Source: Toxicol Let, 2005)
– Testosterone (Source: Int J Biometeorol, 2013)
– (Serotonin)– (Dopamine)
• Increases:– Cortisol (Source: Clin Biochem, 2012)
– (Estrogen)

Melatonin
• Decreased Melatonin– Poor Sleep– Lower Immune Function– Free Radical Damage– Accelerated Aging– Increased Cancer Risk

#3 You are in control
• Minimize Exposure– Take tech breaks– Unplug devices – Maintain distance – Choose “safer” option
• Battery > Wired > Wireless• Incandescent or LED > Halogen > Flourescent• Check SARS rating on cell phone
– Cell Phone• Use speaker, Switch ears, Shorter calls, Dial away from ear,
Avoid weak signal, Turn off wireless
