You are invited to Charlies Monthly Rawfood Potlucks in Phoenix/East Valley, Arizona

Are you curious about how to lose weight, stay beautiful, prevent or reverse dis-ease? Or maybe you are new to the area, and would like to network and connect to a raw food or healthy living community.

I first relocated to the Valley in 2001, and really delved into raw food around 2002-2003 after a botched up dental procedure kept causing health problems that traditional medical treatments failed to deal with. I have been attending these two raw food potlucks on and off since then. I have learned alot about eating healthy without depriving taste buds. Also I learned about superfoods, tasty foods that rejuvenate your body, such as blueberries, gogi berries, bee pollen, maca, cacao, etc. Also met many great people, and was invited to phenomenal healthy living/conscious eating events.

There are two main gatherings that have been held for years, in this article I will Cover Charlie's held on 2nd Saturday of the month:

Charlie's Rawahtukee RawSome! gatherings in Awhatukee, Phoenix area, off I-10 and Warner. This is held the 2nd Saturdays of every month. It starts around 7:00PM, and people come and go before and after that. It usually runs till 8:30 or 9PM. Occasionally there is a speaker or announcements are made around 7.

20-40 people usually attend. The event is casual, hippie-ish. and held in Charlie Mort's home. Charlie formerly ran the Rawsome! Cafe in Gentle Strength co-op in Ash/University in Tempe. It is requested that you bring a raw, vegan, organic food dish or some sort. If you are not prepared, come as you are. Or you can even bring a fresh organic blueberry or strawberry plate, etc.

For more information, you can contact 480.496.4577, and to double check the event is being held, etc.

Authentic Chinese Herbal Doctor at Chinese Cultural Center

Phoenix, AZ: Traditional Chinese Medicine dates back thousands of years, and offers a system of many effective treatments, including herbal remedies, to acupuncture, etc. The Ranch 99 cultural center at 44th Street/loop 202 in phoenix contains an amazing little Chinese herbal store to the left of the main Ranch 99 store as you face it.

You can basically walk in and wait to see the Doctor. Wait can average 10-15 minutes. I took my friend Bernando LaPallo to get treated there. He is over 107 years young and going strong. Unfortunately he suffered a very mild stroke because he was so stressed about his ailing wife.

The chinese medical doctor takes your pulses and prescribes a regimen of various exotic herbs, all of which are available at the store. The staff bags up the herbs for you, you buy them, and take them home. You boil the herbs in a huge pot and let them simmer as instructed, for over an hour. You do this daily for a week.

The first time I took these was in January 2009, because I was still detoxifying from a dental procedure. I had such a strong reaction to the herbal drink I was prescribed - i felt very nauseated, headachey. In fact I was so in pain it felt as if my eyeballs were hurting and would pop out of my skull. It was difficult for me even to move!

Fortunately this passed in about a week. My naturopath observed that that regimen helped me finally kick the last traces of a dental infection!

The next round of herbal remedies I tried in late March/early April 2009, and my detox reaction was subtle this time.

My dear centenarian friend Bernando fully supports herbal medicine, and that's why he had such faith in seeing this Chinese medical doctor.

Spiritual solace at Hare Krishna Temple, Chandler AZ

Chandler, Arizona. Sunday evenings starting at around 5:00-5:30PM devotees gather at this temple for chanting, rituals, and festivities. Around 8:00 PM is when Prasaddam is served. This is vegan food lovingly prepared by the staff who chant "Hare Krishna" over 108 times. The intent of this is to sublimate and transform the food into spiritual nourishment, Prasaddam.

I can say from personal experiences that this food is exceptionally delicious, and my heart swells with a sense of love and adoration from eating this Prasaddam. To me it truly tastes like divine nectar.

The public is welcome, those who respectfully wish to join the ceremonies, are encouraged to contact the building and inform them of your arrival and confirm the events, etc.

Friends and special people in my life have joined me for these events and we found them to be very nourishing. Mostly Hare Krishna devotees, many from India, attend. Kids are welcome and it is a family environment. Probably 50-100 show up.

"VIP" Treatment at True Foods: Easter Resurrection

For Easter Sunday, I picked up "BigDaddy" my 107 year old friend and took him to Sunday service at Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF). 9:00AM meditation and then 10:00AM service. This is one of my favorite services in the Valley because I experience it so deeply and vibrantly, its as if the saints and sages are right there in the room with us; the devotion of the attendees is so palpable you can cut it with a butter knife. This is one of only 4 centers personally started by Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda was arguably the first to introduce yoga to the West. Kriya yoga, the specific branch of yoga he introduced, was intended to offer Westerners a specific series of practices to provide a direct experience of God.

Following the beautiful service, Bigdaddy offered to treat me to Sunday brunch. I was touched, and gratefully accepted. I drove us to True Foods, a newer, sheek, contemporary natural food eatery located at the Biltmore he never attended before. He was impressed by the clean contemporary decor, the professional efficient staff, and the healthy tasty selection. This restaurant is half owned by natural foods proponent Dr. Andrew Weil and the same restaurant chain that manages Bloom and Olive & Ivy.

I figured this restaurant visit would also inspire BigDaddy, who dreams of actually starting his own restaurant to realize fully his life's work integrating nutrition, healthy living, etc. after he completes several of the projects we are working on.

After ordering some healthy lemonade and pina colada-type drinks and Kale-avocado salad plus sashimi tuna salads, I discreetly gave one of Bernando's cards to the wait staff. She looked at his card, and could not believe his age - typical response.

After our delicious meal, the head chef personally came up to our table and introduced himself to Bernando. He also obliged Bernando's request to take a menu home for his personal inspiration.

When we requested the check we were both pleasantly surprised that they zeroed out the bill: their treat, compliments of their staff.

An Easter Blessing. We left a generous tip. Today I mailed them a complimentary book written by Bernando with a gracious thank you note.

On another note, Bernando and I also celebrated this Easter some more good news: his wife is now regaining her speech abilities. This was after several weeks of aphasia following brain surgery to remove a blood clot in her brain. This blood clot was caused by her fall, in which she hit the back of her head at a doctor's office when staff had placed her on a scale and then walked away.

Hope springs eternal. Give thanks for what you have and benefits shall come to you from unexpected sources.

Have you had an "out of body experience"? How to balance your brainwaves and change your life

"The Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences" by Stefan Kasian, Duke University. Reprinted from College Bound Magazine, 1995.

My summer of 1994 was the best summer of my life. During my three months as an intern to the Monroe Institute, I learned things that no professor or textbook either in college or high school could have taught me.

My experience at the Monroe Institute has completely changed the way I will think of my career in medicine, and more importantly, it has changed how I think of myself.

The Monroe Institute had its inception late one night, over 30 years ago, when Robert Monroe, a famous Broadcast Executive, awoke to find himself “floating” over his body.

Periodically he had been suffering from strange vibrations that felt like strange electrical shocks running through his body. They lasted only for a few minutes, but he was concerned enough to consult his doctor and a psychologist. Both told him that he was perfectly healthy both physically and mentally. While at first these floating experiences had frightened him, they eventually became as commonplace to him as a night’s sleep.

Rediscovering Out of Body experiences (OBEs)

Robert Monroe had decided to explore this world of OBEs (Out-of-Body-Experiences) as he coined the phrase, and with his own money founded a not-for-profit institute to investigate and research these altered states of consciousness.

I had first heard of The Monroe Institute from a friend, and later read about the Institute in a book called Superlearning: The Revolution, by Schroeder and Ostrander. Superlearning described the exciting discoveries that were revolutionizing how scientists were thinking about learning and memory.

Interested in improving my own skills because I wanted to maximize my academic performance in school, I had decided to contact them. Although the professionals at The Monroe Institute usually do not have the additional time to train a volunteer, the Institute was completing several research studies that could make very good use of my skills.

Scientific studies of Altered Consciousness

The Monroe Institute investigates changes in the body as the mind and brain enters into deep states of relaxation and beyond, into altered states of consciousness. In one major research project called PREP (Personal Resources Exploration Program), subjects climb into a sensory-isolation chamber. Wires are attached to the subjects’ fingers to measure temperature changes. All of this information was recorded on the computer.

My task was to hand-edit the data from nearly 1,000 PREP sessions. After having been edited, this data would then be loaded into a more powerful computer that would determine statistically the effects on the autonomic nervous system.During my three-month internship I gained an appreciation for the complexity of Hemi-Sync.

How "Hemi-Sync" actually entrains and balances your brainwaves

Hemi-Sync is a technology based on binaural beats. Binaural beats are created when the brain hears the “difference” between slightly different sounds. The brain then follows this sound, called Frequency Following Response (FFR). When a person listens to a Hemi-sync tape, it will gradually lead them into a different state of consciousness depending on the combination of binaural tones.

Hemi-Sync is not only sound tones, it is an entire process which employs relaxation, hypnotic suggestion, guided imagery, and last but not least, the placebo effect.
