Bowling Ball Head
Bowling Ball Head
I feel compelled to discuss a problem that I consider totally preventable, yet, that I’m seeing more often and in younger populations. The condition or symptom relates to neck and shoulder pain and headaches, but the real problem or source has to do with posture and position of the head. Use the individual Connecting to Wellness Posture Score Sheet to evaluate your posture.
The human head filled with circulating blood weighs about the same as a full-sized bowling ball. In saying this, yes, I realize I sound like the kid from Jerry Maguire; but it’s a very real thing. When head posture is where it’s designed to be – with the ears directly above the shoulders, hips, and ankles there’s very little problem. However, as is so common, when the head starts to shift forward, this creates unnecessary tension on the neck, shoulder and upper back muscles that causes pain in these areas as well as tension headaches and spinal misalignments. Think of this as if you were holding a bowling ball with arms outstretched away from your body. It gets heavy and pulls on the muscles.
This forward carriage of the head has always been common as posture is compromised by sitting in front of a computer, driving a car, or reading. I believe the reason I’m seeing this more often and in younger people has everything to do with smart-phones, tablets, gaming systems and other handheld devices. As we spend more and more time with our head forward and looking down, we set ourselves up for future problems. Fixing this problem begins with mere awareness and attention to our own (and our kids’) posture. Another helpful tip is to hold these devices up, raise them higher by using a lap pillow or sit them up on a counter or table during use to avoid forward head bending. Beyond this, chiropractic adjustments, cervical pillow, massage, and simple head and neck exercises do the trick. They may not appreciate it now, but educate your kids about head and neck posture to avoid future problems.

childhood roots of disease: epigenetics and it’s prevention-Connecting to Wellness Checklist for Children
adult disease is often the result of two sources: accumulation of unhealthy stressors over the years or from adversities during sensitive developmental periods in childhood
A recent study released by the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at the childhood roots of disease. The researchers expressed that everything that happens to us from conception to early childhood and on through life has a profound effect on adult health! They concluded that adult disease is often the result of two sources: accumulation of unhealthy stressors over the years or from adversities during sensitive developmental periods in childhood. In both cases, they often found a delay of years or even decades before disease was expressed later in life. They found that cardiovascular disease later in life can be linked to poor prenatal nutrition before we were born! They believe that chronic stressors over time accumulate and change both the function and the structure of the brain in order to adapt to an abundance of physical, chemical and emotional stress.
What’s the message here? If you’ve followed this blog, you’ve heard about the term epigenetics which is rapidly replacing the former model of traditional genetics. This research is the essence of epigenetics – meaning that it is not the DNA that we inherit from our parents that determines our future health or disease. Rather, it is the environment that we are exposed to over time including childhood years and even prior to birth that will unfold the expression of our genes either for health or disease. This is why I always teach that everything we do, everything we eat or drink, and everything we think is either moving us closer to wellness or closer to disease. This study merely proves that we need to think of health in these terms for the future of our children as well. The good news is that a great deal of research shows it’s never too late to improve health by making better choices but hopefully you also understand that it may be even more important to teach and support our children on the importance of healthy diet, exercise and positive thinking.
So, don’t forget to use the Connecting to Wellness Cheat Sheet for Children to keep them in the Wellness Zone.

How do you fix a broken brain?
How do you fix a broken brain? For most of history, science has believed that the brain is stagnant and unchanging with fixed memory and potential. We know the brain can lose function with trauma, drugs, alcohol, etc. But nobody believed that the brain could repair or rebuild.
I’ve reported on this in the past, but another study released in Scientific American has shown that the previous beliefs about the brain’s limited potential are simply not true. In reality, the brain has the potential to build and repair its cells and it is routinely laying down new ‘wiring’ to interconnect cells based on new experience for more efficiency. In previous articles I’ve reported on ways to boost brain power. But this recent study performed on animals shows that physical exercise is one of the strongest brain boosters and can double the number of cells found in the hippocampus. This part of the brain has always been associated with converting short-term memory to long-term memory; explaining why exercise can improve memory. Other literature suggests that the hippocampus is also involved with the stress response in the body. This gives insight to how physical exercise is consistently the most effective stress reliever to decrease anxiety and depression.
I encounter many people that try to stay healthy with diet, rest, and positive thinking while neglecting any form of exercise. While these are all critical factors, there is too much research like this study proving that you can never be as healthy as possible without including exercise as part of your lifestyle.
The Connecting to Wellness workouts are simple and easy. There are no reasons not to be able to do the Synergy Band Workout. You can do them anywhere and they work great.

Theta Waves are God Sounds that help calm the nervous system
Connecting to Wellness has been using Theta sounds for several years. Why?
Christian Meditation Breakthrough Technology
By listening to a special combination of frequencies you can automatically synchronize yourself into the optimal state of mind for the word of God to start working in you.
Here’s how it works. Your brain produces electrical currents that correspond to its state of consciousness. There are four kinds of brainwave frequencies: Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta. These names are simply a way to describe the wave pattern, or speed of the frequency. Alpha happens during light sleep. Beta is your busy day frequency. Theta is associated to deep relaxation and meditation. And Delta occurs during the deep sleep state.
We believe that God created all brain wave frequencies for a purpose. Theta in particular is described by experts as the state of mind in which a person is aware of both the spiritual and physical. Theta is the state of mind that most people associate as being “aware”. Many Christian monks and ancient Rabbis experienced the same sense of “awareness” of God after months or years of studying and meditating on the Word of God. The ability to consciously generate Theta brain waves was implanted in the mind by God as a way to commune with Him. Today many serious devotees of Christ are singledly focused on the practice of experiencing God this way.
Interstellar “Theta” Sounds
Our advanced sound-matrixing technology allows us to compose a soundscape of musical tones, sonic fequencies, and subsonic frequencies (just below normal hearing). At times you may hear a low humming sound in the background, on other occasions you might hear higher frequencies, this is the sonic and subsonic sound-matrixing at work.

Where did the concept of sonic and subsonic frequencies come from?
In the fall of 1977 two Voyager spacecraft were launched to investigate interstellar space. The Voyagers were equipped with specially designed instruments to detect and record the audible vibrations of deep space. The Voyagers returned the data to Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA to study and analyze.
The sonic and subsonic frequencies you hear were created in our studio by simulating the original Voyager recordings. What the Voyagers recorded is literally the sound of God’s creation moving in outer space.
Within the NASA recordings our audio ministers discovered low frequency “theta” sound waves. Our sound engineers examined the naturally occurring theta sounds in space and created specially designed frequencies for our guided Christian meditation programs. These sounds are not music, although at times they may sound like music they are not. They are continuous sound frequencies that change in pitch and tone. This is important because without a musical pattern to fixate on, the brain cannot slow down to enter a deep state of meditation or “theta”.
Guided Christian Meditation Programs (Theta Mode)
Sonic and sub-sonic sound matrixes embedded within each audible-voice program composed tend to induce deep relaxation that naturally lead the mind into Theta . The result is blissful Christian meditation.
To enable the healthiest and richest experience our audible voice programs include guided Christian relaxation techniques focused around the word of God. Godly thought is literally deposited into the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is what drives your conscious mind, and the more you listen the more your conscious mind will enact your newly found God intelligence.
Our programs are unlike anything else. They are literally designed to ignite the Spirit of God within you so that you can accomplish any goal, conquer any fear, or eliminate any habit, in the ways of God.
At the end of each session you will feel charged with new energy and vitality, and feel closer to God. Our users report feeling renewed, more alert, more centered, and feeling like you’re on top of the world.
What Does Christian Meditation Feel Like?
Sonic tones, sub-sonic tones, and colorful spoken imagery combined with your faith stimulate the brain to release endorphins. In this state of mind most people report feeling close to God, emboldened with courage, joyfully lucid of mind, and powerful. In this state of mind they “know” all things are possible!
Because Christ Audio programs deliver these special frequencies in a recorded format anyone can quickly realize the benefits of deep relaxation and Godly thought at the highest levels of mind easily and effectively.
Psychologists and neurologists for decades have believed that in a Theta state of mind a person can change dramatically.

Heart Health
Heart Health
I was attracted to an article titled “The Real Cause of Heart Disease” written by a heart surgeon of 25 years experience. His article was more of a retraction letter apologizing for the bad advice he had promoted over the years. He stated that the standard advice of cholesterol lowering medications and a low-fat diet are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. 25% of the population is taking cholesterol drugs, yet more Americans are dying of heart disease every year and 75 million Americans are currently suffering with some level of the disease.
This surgeon sited recent research proving that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart and all cardiovascular disease. Without this inflammation, cholesterol wouldn’t accumulate in the vessel lining to begin with. It’s the inflammation that traps cholesterol in the internal lining of the arteries. From this point-of-view, cholesterol in the arteries is not the cause of heart disease, but merely a symptom. Inflammation from diet and stress is the real cause and also the solution. What causes this inflammation? It’s the processed carbohydrates such as sugar and flour products as well as the omega-6 corn, vegetable, soybean and sunflower oils.
To solve the heart disease epidemic we must begin to choose more natural and complex carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables over the processed grains and sugars. Likewise, we don’t need to avoid fat because that strategy has not worked either. Rather we need omega-3 fats found in fish and flax oils, organically raised animal meat and nuts such walnuts, pecans, and hazel nuts. Eggs from free-range organic chickens will also contain these healthy fats.
This surgeon is advocating the same method we teach in our Connecting to Wellness program – low glycemic diet, exercise, fish oil and stress reduction. This is the model that promotes health and reduces disease. It’s not new information; I just found it refreshing to hear it from an accomplished cardiovascular surgeon.
