Feature Modality
Coaching
Coaching is
being used in sports, weight loss, career development, animal
training, in schools with curriculum development and so much more.
Coaching has been a part of our lives since the beginning of time:
the parent, the sibling, the grand parent and the teachers. Many
people have had the privilege to have a mentor or exceptional parent
or teacher in their life that opened so many doors. They were able
to strive to reach exceptional goals, careers and growth in
general. Many of us have had several teachers that each taught us
on how to incorporate the lessons in our lives to go forward,
whether the lessons were pleasant or not. Some have had themselves
to credit for going the great lengths to success.
Coaching is
found in so many techniques and with many theories, all being of the
same intention or goal. To help one strive to be their best at what
they love or to obtain their ultimate goal. Coaching helps to guide
a person towards a career that embraces the skills and passions that
have been a dream or desire in ones life. The Career Coach brings
out your strengths and skills and aids in releasing your fears that
keep you from reaching your goal.
A lot of times
it takes another person to share what they see in you. See what you
are capable of, what your gifts are and what work is more suitable
for who you really are. With our upbringing, we create blocks that
have become part of us, and when someone else can see this, it is
easier to release these blocks or expectations that we have of
ourselves.
For example: I
have had a wonderful session with a coach that mostly resides in BC
now. She was able to share all the ideas that I was missing in my
business. Being able to see beyond the parameter that we have
created. Several friends have been like personal coaches, they
shared what they could see me teaching or doing with my practice.
Some instructors have taught me how not to teach, many have taught
me the value of being kind and supportive. My parents taught me
parental skills and unconditional love. All the coaches in my life
have help me achieve so many and amazing goals.
We now have the
privilege and honor to have professional training for coaches.
Training that provides the coaches to be kind and gentle, to be
supportive, to be strong when needed for the extra boost and to
coach in a constructive way. Our coaches today are have the
knowledge to open the doors for us to bigger possibilities and show
that we can go way beyond what we originally dreamed of. These
coaches know what to do to get us beyond the blocks that we have
created, along with providing the tools that we can use in our daily
lives for success: mentally, physically, emotional, financially and
spiritually.
In Canada’s Wholistic Directory we have Career Coaching, Life
Coaching, Mental Skills Coach, Business Coaching, and Wholistic
Approach Coaching. Following are our members under those listings,
they are here to help us out and provide the support in going
forward to better lives.

Health Corner
(food alternatives & health)
Minerals (part 1 of 4)
In the August &
September newsletters, we listed a lot of the vegetables that can be
grown in Alberta and the vitamins and minerals in them. We know
that our bodies need these vitamins and minerals, but why? And what
do they do? We will start with the minerals as see what they offer:
Minerals, like
vitamins, they function as coenzymes. Minerals work with our bone
structure, blood formation, our cardiovascular system and our nerve
function. We require certain levels of minerals to maintain a
proper balance, and the minerals and vitamins work together. More
study and research is being done each day to show how the proper
combinations work. What we will be doing is listing the minerals
and noting some of the veggies, fruit and other food supplements
that contain the minerals.
I am using a
bottle of Prairie Naturals vitamins & minerals as a sample of a
recommended daily requirement. We need to remember that each one of
us leads a different life style and we all have different
requirements. There are some people that probably can not take the
vitamin and mineral supplements do to allergies or such.
Boron
is for the bones, muscles, brain function, alertness, and aids in
preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis. Boron is also helps the
body to derive energy from the fats and sugar, and in essential in
maintaining the Vitamin D level. Boron helps the body to metabolize
calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Food Sources:
Whole grains, raw nuts, apples, carrots, grapes, dark green leaf
vegetables (spinach), and pears.
Requirements:
No more than 3 – 6 milligrams per day. (Prairie Naturals
Multi-Force: 0 mg per day).
Calcium
is essential for the development of bones and teeth. Calcium helps
to maintain the gums, regular heartbeat, nerve pulse transmission,
prevents cardiovascular disease, lowers cholesterol, helps with
blood clotting, prevent cancer, stops the absorption of lead, and
for proper muscle growth. Calcium promotes energy, aids in the
structure of our RNA and DNA, aids in the activation of enzymes.
During pregnancy calcium is essential in avoiding the development of
preeclampsia (greatest cause of maternal death) and can help to
lower high blood pressure of the mother. A deficiency of calcium
can cause depression, convulsions, rickets, delusions and more.
Food Sources:
Salmon, sardines, seafood, dairy, asparagus, beans, beet greens,
beets, carrots, dill weed, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions, parsley,
parsnips, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, romaine lettuce,
rutabagas, spinach, squash, swiss chard, turnips, almonds, molasses,
broccoli, cabbage, carob, dandelion greens, dulse, figs, filberts,
kelp, oats, prunes, sesame seeds, soy beans, turnips, watercress,
whey and found in over 20 herbs.
Requirements:
No more than 500 milligrams at one time, and should be taken in
smaller doses over the day. (Prairie Naturals Multi-Force: 125 mg
per day)
Chromium
is used for helping to regulate the sugar levels which is helpful
for those with diabetes and hypolyglycemia, along with reducing body
fat. Chromium helps the body to synthesis cholesterol, fats, and
proteins. Excellent during pregnancy to help the fetus develops
properly and to keep the mothers blood sugars level. Sugars deplete
our chromium levels: from alcohol consumption to too much sugary
foods and flour in our diets. When our bodies do not get enough
chromium we become lethargic, diabetic, kidney problems, and poor
liver function. The best form of chromium to take is Chromium
Picolinate.
Food Sources:
dried beans, corn, potatoes, brewers yeast, brown rice, whole
grains, chicken, molasses, meat, dairy products, dulse, and
mushrooms and a few herbs.
Requirements:
This is dependent on individuals. Those with diabetes must be
careful, specially those who are insulin dependant. (Prairie
Naturals Multi-Force: 200 mcg per day).
Copper
aids in the proper formation of the blood cells. It works with the
help of vitamin C & Zinc. Copper helps with: healthy nerves,
joints, energy production, the healing process of the body, hair
coloring, skin coloring, and with our taste buds. The lack of
copper can cause osteoporosis, anemia, diarrhea, baldness, poor
respiratory, increased blood fat level and skin sores. The body
can also have too much copper which can cause depression, vomiting,
nervousness and muscle and joint pains (flu like symptoms).
Food Sources:
Beans, beets, beet greens, kale, lettuces, spinach, radishes, swiss
chard, almonds, avocados, liver, lentils, nuts, oats, oranges,
mushrooms, raisins, pecans, salmon and seafood.
Requirements:
Very little, taking up to10 milligrams can cause problems. (Prairie
Naturals Multi-Force: 3 mg per
day)
Germanium
is best used in the organic form, it helps to improve the cellular
oxygenation. Germanium helps the body to detoxify, supports the
immune system, and to help fight pain. A study in Japan showed that
the intake of 100 – 300 mg made a significant decrease in arthritis,
allergies, candida, cancer, viral infections and AIDS.
Food Sources:
Garlic, onions, broccoli, milk, rhubarb, celery, tomato juice and
ginseng.
Requirements:
This mineral is best consumed through the regular diet. (Prairie
Naturals Multi-Force: 0 mg per day)

Consult your health care practitioner for any medical advice. These sites and products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. (herbs and more) Flues and colds: I have seen so many emails and propaganda about the flue and cold session. Instead of scaring you, we can share some tips on how to stay healthy, and keep up your immune system. Our society has gone through many bugs and viruses, and all has gone well for those who looked after their bodies wholistically. Does any one remember the Norwalk Virus? Would have been about 5 – 7 years ago. I don’t remember the media going through so much to do about it, yet it was a scare. One of our seniors home was under quarantine for about a week or two. Our whole family got this flu, and those of us who nipped it in the bud right away, got over it really quick. One of us didn’t and he stayed sick for a few days longer. What can we do: 1. If you do get a flu bug (diarrhea and vomiting), you can use Keopectate and gravel right away. I found this did not allow the flu to fester in our system and we recovered right away. They may not be natural products, but they worked. 2. Some people find that the Cold / Flu formula works, there is suppose to be ginseng in it. 3. If you start to get nauseous, take a ¼ tsp of cinnamon. I make a tea with cinnamon and honey. Cinnamon has antibacterial properties. Cinnamon on oatmeal during the fall and winter, good defence. 4. Probiotics are an excellent way to put the good bacteria back into your system. 5. Homeopathics: Engystol will help to strengthen the immune system. There are other flu and virus remedies available in your health store. These are very safe. One practitioner has used these products for several years and has not once gotten a virus. 6. Salt solution. Gargle with salt, and if you do not have the netti pot, dab a q tip in the salt solution and clean the inside of the nostrils with it. ** right after writing this, I went to the web site for: Amaranth Whole Foods at: www.amaranthwholefoods.ca and found a wonderful and more in depth source of information on the prevention of flues and the strengthening of our immunity systems.

Music
Community music:
Judy Atkins
with Circles of Rhythm has been a blessing in the lives of
many. Not only does she provide the community of Calgary and
surrounding area with community drumming, she also shows us how to
heal with music. Judy does drumming circles for businesses,
corporations, hospitals, schools and more. You can find her at:
www.circlesofrhythm.com.
Now we are
able to attend the drum circles once a week and this is my time out
to be with an amazing community of wonderful people, sound and
healing. On a personal experience, I went to the drum circle after
being on my knees for four hours, picking and throwing potatoes into
the tractor. I hurt from my shoulders to my knees. During the
circle, I held the heart drum over my knees while playing. From
barely being able to walk into the building to being pain free when
I left… I now understand the power and vibration of drums.
If you know of
a community drumming or music circle that is open to the public
(even if there is an entrance donation) please let us know.
