Hi, my name is Karen and I’m celebrating my 25th year working in the field of Ancient Wisdom Technologies, including Ayurveda, Yoga and Energy Medicine. Along the way I’ve kept an eye on newer technologies, cutting edge equipment and methods used to enhance health, harmony and longevity. At the core of all these methods is a healthy lifestyle but living in the modern world makes that very difficult. In this article I want to focus on the benefits of these newer technologies.
· Improved Vitality · Better Sleep · Stress Reduction · Healthy Immune System · Fast Recovery from Injury All of us are faced with the dilemmas that living in the modern world present, processed foods, environmental toxins, poor sleep habits and hormone imbalances. Our bodies and minds are under daily assault from these elements, which translates into a chronic state of poor health for millions of people. Given this reality it would be wise to look deeper into incorporating these technologies into daily living as a solution to the stress of modern living. One of the solutions I’ve found is Med Spas. The reason I like them is they combine the ancient with the new technologies and make them available in our communities in one place. For example Red Light therapy, known to mimic dawn and dusk hours in the day. Near infrared light therapy enhances sleep, weight loss, mental performance, and skin by stimulating mitochondrial function in the cells. When we age, or if we are stressed, mitochondrial function goes down and our immune systems suffer. Many individuals who live in Urban areas are under fluorescent lights indoors, snacking on processed food, and not moving their bodies every hour. They are behind blue screens and disconnected from nature's circadian rhythms. This leads to hormone or nervous system imbalances often accompanied by poor eating and drinking habits. Red Light Sauna Therapy is one example of a solution for elimination these toxins from the skin. There are many other new technologies available to support modern day living such as frequency and hertz therapy to support emotional, cognitive, and resilience to everyday stressors. There are compression therapies for heart and brain health which are great for athletes! Add an exercise machine known as the Vasper, which incorporates oxygen, cold and cold temperature to relieve the body of lactic acid and stimulates growth hormone secretion in the brain. It’s also known to increase energy, joy and improved vision. There is so much to be said for these new technological advances in day to day and long term health. They are revolutionizing how we support our bodies, minds and spirits in the modern world. Here are some additional technologies: · Hyperbaric Oxygen · Intravenous Ozone · Salt Chambers · Cold Therapy · Frequency Therapy What I love so much about Med Spas is the emphasis on giving the body what it needs to support regeneration, eliminate the root causes of symptoms, and redefine what it means to be vibrant. Making Med Spas part of our routine will give us the tools to counter the effects of the modern world so that we can actually feel better as we get older.

The Cascade mountain range reaches far and wide from California to British Columbia. This dark green, lush mountainous land is full of legend and lore of historical significance both geologically, ecologically and anthropologically.
The story of Cascadia starts at the doorstep of Mount Shasta which is considered one of the seven most holy mountains of the world and is a Vortex of high and low frequency vibration that can be harnessed for healing and evolving the Soul. The low hum of the mountain and deep crystalline structures in the earth can be felt for miles around this Cascadia volcano. The emerald landscape is mysterious and has been referred to as “The Wonderful World of Oz” from The Oz books written by Frank Braun in 1900. The indigenous story keepers speak of ancient civilizations that inhabited this area before the last ice age that started 30,000 years ago and ended 11,000 years ago. At that time many died, migrated or went into the mountains. Stories from this time tell of giants with two rows of teeth and were cannibals. Others were tall, fair skinned with light eyes and hair who were technologically sophisticated. I have spent many years learning, exploring and now living part time on this volcano. I have experienced multiple encounters, dreams, healing and psychic phenomena on this mountain. Shasta is also known for its pure water. I drink the holy headwaters daily and have witnessed change in my well being due to the waters high intelligence. People are called here for many reasons. Some love the summer recreational opportunities of water sports, fishing, biking, hiking, mountain climbing, and spelunking. And winter is a wonderland of outdoor fun and adventure. Others flock here because of the benefits that are not so visible but are no less tangible. Something unexplainable happens and they’re drawn to the multi dimensional pull of spiritual gravity that transcends normal reality. They are in search of a Wizard who can calm a storm and grant a wish. Along the way they confront their soul, their fear and their longing. This leads them back to their heart center where they realize the power was in them all along. |
