At Beyond The Body Transformations, we use the Touch For Health system; an amalgamation of the Chinese Meridian System and a non-invasive biofeedback technique called “muscle-testing” to communicate with the subtle energies within the body. We identify where your energy is imbalanced, blocked, trapped or stagnant and make the necessary corrections. Energy can become imbalanced due to the physical, emotional or nutritional traumas that we experience throughout our lives. Clearing these energetic blockages and re-establishing balance within the body can help give life to our innate healing systems within to relieve physical pains, digestive discomforts and emotional struggles.

Blockchain and Online Gambling
Blockchain is a method of tracking transactions using a public, globally-distributed ledger. It is most commonly used for cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin. Blockchain automatically and securely keeps a historical record, or ledger, of all transactions; working across a network of computers, cryptocurrencies can operate without a central authority. It is already revolutionizing online gambling and is now emerging in video games. For example, an emerging trend in gaming culture is the integration of cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs allow blockchain to issue one-of-a-kind digital assets with unique attributes, meaning that players can acquire securely stored in-game assets. (Source: IntentaDigital http://bitly.ws/sLEU)

Make Wellness Your Number One Priority
We are constantly moving on the axis of “Wellness to Illness”. Only when we have repeated symptoms that slow us down and interfere with our busy lives, do we start paying attention to our bodies. It usually starts with stress and worries causing an imbalance of our energy on a cellular level. If this continues, additional stress on the body in the form of environmental toxins, EMFs or unhealthy foods increases the energy imbalance. In order to balance our energies, we need to incorporate wellness practices and routines to return our body back to homeostasis. We can help.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
If my body were a car, I would trade it for a newer model. Every time I cough, sputter, or sneeze, my radiant leaks and my exhaust backfires.
