We all develop emotional and energetic attachments that can cause us suffering and hold us back from healing, growing, and making major leaps in our lives. These attachments disrupt the optimal flow of energy and magnetism through and around your body. If left untreated, this can lead to bigger problems, even physical disease. Reiki and other energy-healing modalities, like laser-light, sound, and crystal therapy, work to remove blockages, repair damaged and weakened spots, and increase the energetic flow of light through your system, creating a sense of wholeness and peace that allows you to move forward with grace and confidence.
Benefits of Around The Clock Care
There may come a time when you or someone you love requires full-time care and support at home. Around the clock care is ideal for those coming home from the hospital after surgery, suffering from a debilitating condition, or even for family caregivers who require time away. Ensure your loved one has someone to assist them with the activities of everyday life with personal, consistent, one-to-one attention and assistance. Have peace of mind knowing there’s 24-hr companionship, and no need to worry about waiting for help to arrive if something goes wrong.
Don’t Let Missing Teeth Affect Your Life
Do you hide your mouth because you feel embarrassed about missing teeth? Missing teeth not only affects your general health and appearance, it may also contribute to depression and low self-esteem. Social embarrassment as a result of missing teeth and poorly fitting dentures may result in people avoiding social interactions. Don’t let tooth loss or improperly fitting dentures affect the quality of your life. Your denturist can explain the best ways to restore the function and appearance of your smile. Properly fitting dentures can help restore your self-esteem and bring back your smile.
Boosting Your Body’s Biofeedback
In the metatarsal part of your foot (the ball of your foot), you have over 10,000 receptors, each designed to give biofeedback to your brain. This feedback system is your neurological system. The brain uses that feedback to create homeostasis, or balance in your body of your various biological systems. VoxxLife’s HPT technology is based on decades of research and improves that biofeedback so your brain can better achieve homeostasis. By improving homeostasis in the brain, you put your body’s “self-healing mechanism” in the best position to work on your overall wellness.
Benefits of Companionship
Whether it is a close friendship or an intimate relationship, social interaction is needed to prevent health decline in seniors. Loneliness is a risk factor for functional decline in adults over the age of 60. Something as simple as a friendship can enhance aging hearts and strengthen the immune system. Companionship can decrease the physical risk of disease by lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol. The psychological benefits include increased self-esteem, decreased stress, and a sense of belonging. If you are finding yourself lonely, while living on your own, you may want to connect with others by joining senior’s fitness classes, activity groups, or learning a new hobby.

The Hearing Loss/Alzheimer’s Connection
Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.
The Power of Touch
There are approximately 5 million touch receptors in your skin and 3000 on the tip of your finger. Whenever we get touched or when we receive a massage, our body releases endorphins that are natural pain- killers. Massage not only helps us relax, but it also gives our immune system a boost! Receiving a 45-minute massage has been found to increase the number of white blood cells that help defend the body from disease. Do you suffer from sleep problems? 60 minutes of massage have the same effect on your body as 7 to 8 hours of good sleep.
Meeting Family Dental Needs
Finding a dentist that can meet the needs of all members of your family is important. Kids often need different dental care than their parents do, whether it’s catching potential problems early or helping kids through losing their first teeth. Parents may be looking for advice on dental work or teeth whitening products for themselves. Whatever their dental needs may be, families often need flexibility when it comes to appointment scheduling and a dental team that can be there for sudden emergencies. Look for a dentist who has great rapport with the whole family, from youngest to oldest!
Book Club
The Gratitude-Driven Life by Marissa Alarcon. Why is it so difficult to be grateful for the things we have? Human nature seems designed to keep us focused on what we do not have. We compete and think only of getting more. However, we can be happy. The Gratitude-Driven Life is an exploration to change our attitude and be more grateful.
Dental Care for Children
When your child can write, not print, their name, they have the ability to do a thorough job of brushing and flossing. Until then, have them try brushing their teeth first on their own and then help them do a more thorough job after. For flossing, have your child lie down on a bed or floor so you can see what you’re doing and limit their movement. Begin cleaning your child’s mouth before their first tooth appears, and have your child see a dentist by 12 months of age or within 6 months of eruption of the first tooth.
