Compass Zyto:
Using the principles of biology, quantum physics, & the science of information, we facilitate meaningful communication between computers & the human body that is an evolution of bio-feedback. It is a sequence of elegance--the computer poses the question, the body answers, & not a word is spoken–giving healthcare practitioners a better tool to bring wellness to their patients. The device uses galvanic skin response to "measure shifts in the body's stress system & determine balancers that will move the body back to homeostasis." Balancers are said to be "stimuli sent to the body that assist in bringing the body back into homeostasis." They include homeopathic remedies, naturopathic remedies, as well as clinical therapies such as acupuncture & massage therapy.
HOLISTIC NUTRITIONAL COUNSELOR & ENERGY WORKER & LIFESTYLE THERAPIST:
Valarie McGee, has been a student of the healing arts since 1994. I first got involved in the healing arts to try to help improve my own health & went to school & received my bachelor's degree in Holistic Nutrition. I have clients that span from Missouri to Nebraska to Arizona, to Colorado, to Kansas and Texas. I also work with Shaklee & I have included my website below if you would like to visit, there is a small story about me on this site to help give you some insight on me!!!! I love the Shaklee products because of their philosophy of living by the "Golden Rule" and "in Harmony with Nature". This lines up with my own philosophy. The energy work is where I have learned so much about the super-intelligence of the body. I have studied about the meridians and the Chakra's of the body for many years, as well as having recently received my certification as a facilitator. I LOVE to help other people in realizing & achieving their goals in life. It gives me great pleasure to see others succeed whether it is financially, spiritually, emotionally, in relationships, or whatever arena it may be.
After working in various physician based clinics for over 20 years & seeing the many detrimental side effects of drug therapies, I decided to take a different approach to health. I also suffered from many different allergies as well & after many years of seeing many different doctors & injecting myself with allergy shots that only made me worse, I knew that there had to a better way of combating the endless illness that I suffered from. It was then, that I was introduced to a different type of lifestyle & starting learning better ways of care of myself & part of that regimen included taking Shaklee supplements & using the Shaklee cleaning products. My personal successful experience with live, whole food supplements motived me to go to school to study alternative health methods, & I received my degree as a Holistic Nutrition Consultant. My passion is to help others to learn how to restore the body's self-healing ability through nutrition & detoxification without the use of harmful drugs. Won't you join me in taking that first step by becoming a Shaklee member today to start your journey to optimum health & wellness?however my passion is holistic/naturopathic health & wellness. http://newnutrition.myshaklee.com/us/en/about.html
PERMACULTURE CLASSES By Robyn Stevens:
Permaculture is a branch of ecological design, ecological engineering, environmental design, construction & integrated water resources management that develops sustainable architecture, regenerative & self-maintained habitat & agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless labor; & of looking at plants & animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system. Permaculture design emphasizes patterns of landscape, function, & species assemblies. It determines where these elements should be placed so they can provide maximum benefit to the local environment. The central concept of permaculture is maximizing useful connections between components & synergy of the final design. The focus of permaculture, therefore, is not on each separate element, but rather on the relationships created among elements by the way they are placed together; the whole becoming greater than the sum of its parts. Permaculture design therefore seeks to minimize waste, human labor, and energy input by building systems with maximal benefits between design elements to achieve a high level of synergy. Permaculture designs evolve over time by taking into account these relationships & elements & can become extremely complex systems that produce a high density of food & materials with minimal input.
The design principles which are the conceptual foundation of permaculture were derived from the science of systems ecology & study of pre-industrial examples of sustainable land use. Permaculture draws from several disciplines including organic farming, agroforestry, integrated farming, sustainable development, & applied ecology. Permaculture has been applied most commonly to the design of housing & landscaping, integrating techniques such as agroforestry, natural building, & rainwater harvesting within the context of permaculture design principles & theory.
Robyn lives by the principals & ethics of permaculture which are "Care for the Earth, Care for People & Return of Surplus". She is a Certified Permaculture Design Consultant in Mineral Wells, Texas. She has studied at Working With Nature School of Permaculture in Dallas under Nicholas Burtner, Warren Sippell & Josiah Wolingford. She has also attended courses at Permculture Denton & hands on training through an internship at the 4K River Ranch, a permaculture farm in Palo Pinto County, Texas. Robyn is currently, the manager of The Brazos Market & Bistro in Mineral Wells where she resides along with her family. She, along with several local organic farmers are planning for a Farmers Market in Palo Pinto County where she will sit on the Board of Directors.
