Dear Readers,

Greetings and prayers for a health and prosperous new year!

CNN reported today that January is the most popular month for deciding to lose those extra pounds. CNN then followed that up with statistics for Jenny Craig's stock prices and the financial outlook for Weight Watchers. What the report did not cover was HOW does one translate that initial BIG decision into all the daily little actions it takes to make that decision yield results. The bottom line is that the "big" decision is really just the first decision. Every day, we must renew those decisions so well intended for those New Year's Resolutions.

I bring up weight loss because of its obvious connection to general physical well-being and health. As CNN reported, two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and aside from the psychological self-image issues, there is a definite link from overweight to longevity, but more importantly to general healthy well-being. Discomfort, stress, frustration, fears and irritations all stem from a lack of well-being. Without well-being or wellness as a foundation in your everyday life, carrying out those "big" decisions at the beginning of every year gets harder and harder, eventually adding up to failure. With simply the weight of discomfort, unhappiness, or disease dragging on us, no wonder following up on our resolutions is so difficult.

Ultimately, weight control is a spiritual issue. To be successful requires defining who we are and who we are not; how we represent ourselves not only to the world, but more importantly to ourselves. We become better persons by looking at ourselves and changing those things about us that no longer serve. What represents the highest and best in ourselves? What divine or spiritual aspect of us can we get to shine through in our everyday lives? These are spiritual issues that require constant attention and intention every day--with the little things--the minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour decisions we make that actually form who we are. How we do anything is how we do everything, and it all starts by BEING the highest and best we can be, and taking action from that space.

Emphasizing the concept of Nuturing ourselves helps to maintain our focus and gives us the crucial daily reward of progress so important in maintaining our resolutions of change. Here are a few "nurturing rituals" as stated by Horst Rechelbacher, founder of Aveda:

• Establishing a well-rounded network of trustworthy coaches, mentors, or personal trainers, who can help you map out and stick to your path.
• Meditating regularly.
• Becoming aware of and controlling your breathing.
• Practicing your faith.
• Tailoring daily diet and eating habits to your specific needs, using the wisdom of the ancient indigenous traditions and the latest scientific discoveries about food chemistry as it relates to body chemistry and blood type.

• Focus on less calories and fat, more exercise.
• Buy organic foods whenever possible.
• Eat slowly and chew food well. A meal or a snack should take twenty to thirty minutes to eat. Wait ten to fifteen minutes before taking a second helping.
• Eat a variety of foods.
• Limit treats and refined foods, minimize salt intake, reduce or avoid alcohol and caffeine, and avoid sodas and chemical foods.
• If you blow it, go right back on the plan. Do not make it an excuse for failure.

Many warm and sincere blessings,

Pure Energy Rx's Herbal Accelerator is based on the formulations of Dr. DicQie Fuller-Looney, specially designed for TriStar. We recommend using the Herbal Accelerator along with your particular Body Type Enzyme. You can find out your particular body type and the enzymes you need for that type by taking our Body Evaluation Survey. It's fun and informative, but by narrowing down your nutritional needs to one body type, the matching enzymes greatly speed up results. We also recommend daily exercise as the prime thrust of any weight-loss regimen. The bottom line is you've got to burn the calories you've already stored in your fat tissues, and that means getting more exercise than you did while becoming overweight. Enzymes greatly enhance the weight-loss and body shaping effects of increased exercise, and we believe Dr. Fuller's enzymes to be the purest and most potent on the market. By increasing the enzyme levels in your body, you also increase the body's need for pure water. Ideally, drink half the number of body weight pounds in ounces of water. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, drink 100 ounces of water daily (about three quarts). Take the Herbal Accelerator half an hour before exercise and your Body Type Enzymes with meals. The combination will bring results to your exercise and weight loss plan more rapidly. To assist in accelerating metabolism, reducing appetite and increasing gastrointestinal strength for nutrient absorption, also take Pure Energy Rx E-2 Ionic Mineral formula. Practitioner research on E-2 concludes that the best time to take E-2 is in the middle of the day when gastrointestinal functions are at their peak. Start with five drops in 8 oz. of water, and increase to a full dropperful (15 drops) over several days. Your body will immediately utilize the extra energy E-2 makes available to more fully metabolize the enzymes and generally strengthen the liver, pancrease, stomach and intestines, aiding in elimination of toxins and excess fats during your weight loss program.

We have been blessed by a beautiful alliance with Ondre Seltzer who has custom-designed our Follow Your Heart Body Scrub specifically for Pure Energy Rx. This exfoliating sea salt scrub refreshes and revitalizes. Perfect after that hot bath on a cold autumn night! Contains a wonderful blend of extremely high quality essential oils and the healing intention of Ondre himself.

Fashionable as well as healing, our new "Chi Bracelets" are getting admiring Oooo's and Aahhh's from everyone who sees them. We had them specially charged with Dr. Yury's Subtle Energy for each chakra. Talented Canadian craftsman, Heidi Young, is our designer and assembler, who has special gift of imprinting each bracelet she creates.. The combination of Heidi's and Dr. Yury's energies in these bracelets is positively magnificent. Do check them out, and order one or the whole set of seven.

In vibrant living,
