It is true that tendencies can be predicted with relative accuracy over statistically significant periods of time and play. For instance, if a coin is flipped ten times, it is far more likely to land heads four times than it is to land heads only once. However, each flip is an independent event. Simply put, the coin is a coin: it does not know anything, it does not know how many times it has been flipped, nor does it know how many times it has already landed heads. So each time a coin is flipped, the probability that it will land heads, always remains 50%.

Acupuncture and PTSD
PTSD is a physiological disorder that results from being exposed to a traumatic event. It can affect anyone at any point in their life. The disorder can result in several symptoms including, but not limited to anxiety, irritability, insomnia, nightmares, and flashbacks. Acupuncture for PTSD is administered by stimulating specific auricular points as well as others in the body. These points are responsible for signaling areas of the brain to help control nervous functioning as well as mitigate stress levels. Acupuncture treatments also have benefits such as a decrease in depression and physical pain. Soldiers, police officers, fire fighters and countless others who have been diagnosed with PTSD are using acupuncture to experience relief.
Reiki and Panic Attacks
A panic attack usually happens when a person is suddenly overwhelmed by an uncontrollable sense of fear or dread. Some symptoms that can accompany an attack include breathing problems, ‘racing or pounding’ heart, sweating, chills, nausea, uncontrollable trembling, weakness & dizziness.
It is thought that many conditions of the body can be a result of an imbalance in a person’s energy. This imbalance may be caused by stress, illness, trauma, injury or thoughts, beliefs & emotions. The spiritual energy that is Reiki restores the balance in a person’s energy field helping to bring about, in this case, a reduction in the number and/or intensity of the attacks.
Seasonal Eating for Autumn Bliss
As the seasons change, our bodies quiet down from the high energy of long summer days, and we start to crave more warm, cooked foods. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we view food on a scale of its warming or cooling properties, which includes temperature, cooking method, and flavor. One of my favourite ways to incorporate warming foods into my fall and winter routine is with elixirs. For example, golden milk, a spiced turmeric latte, incorporates warming spices into a nourishing tea. Golden milk typically contains turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, and ginger in a base of milk – dairy, almond or otherwise – and can be blended or whisked with a bit of sweetener. This is a very well balanced elixir, as it is anti inflammatory, immune supportive, and acts as a digestive tonic!

Hearing loss affects people of all ages. It can happen not just from aging, but also caused by genetics, medical reasons, and exposure to loud noise. You can be proactive about your hearing by getting a hearing test if you suspect hearing loss. As people are becoming more proactive about their health wearing hearing aids earlier in life to correct hearing loss is easier to adapt to. Improved hearing in your daily life will help overall quality of life as well. Untreated hearing loss can be more noticeable to other people than a hearing aid.

Your Immune System Out in the Cold
You have probably been told to bundle up in cold weather so that you don’t become sick. The truth is, cold weather or not, it takes exposure to a virus or bacteria to cause an infection. In fact, going outside and getting more physical activity can prevent sickness. One reason why infections may become more prevalent during cold, wet weather is that more people spend time indoors, clustering together and increasing the likelihood of transmission from one person to another. Getting more rest is a good thing to help a weakened immune system. Your local healthfood/supplement store can also advise you on how to keep your immune system healthy.
