3D Healing for Trauma
When a traumatic event happens, emotional information is created and then stored in two places – as a memory in our brain and as an emotion/feeling in the body! Stored and unprocessed emotional trauma is the root cause of many health issues as proven in numerous scientific clinical research studies around the world. The energetic stored negative emotion can be easily removed without pain through the use of a new 3D-Healing application based on Quantum Hypnotherapy. If you experienced a traumatic event, seek help. PTSD can be resolved so that life can continue to be in a happy place.

Limitation, Challenge and Creativity
Many years ago, I took a modern dance workshop where we were assigned to create a piece of choreography given one instruction, that the dance be on a straight line, and we weren’t to move off that line. After stunned silence, processing this nonsensical limitation, we slowly, tentatively engaged this challenge, and what happened was magic. We were taught that our own ideas about the way something SHOULD be IS the limitation. The exercise forced us to open to new ideas, new possibilities, and new ways of expression, which we never would have otherwise, and in so doing, expanded our worlds. The key was that we were willing to be challenged and opened in the first place.
Importance of Career on Mental Health
Career development can support positive mental health by helping find meaning and passion in what you do. Social identity, routine, work, and income help form a positive self-perception. Life changes and unforeseen events will happen, bringing new opportunities. Support is available to aide in career planning, job search skills, identifying and overcoming employment barriers, resume/cover letter development, interview skills, as well as creating and refining action plans. With the increase of people on unemployment and businesses closing their doors for now and some indefinitely, the need for employment assistance maybe more essential than ever. If you need help, reach out, practitioners at Juvenation wellness are available to assist.

Ingredients are Important!
Healthy-looking skin starts with products that are formulated with clean, effective, organic ingredients that hydrate, refresh & rejuvenate. The ingredients in organic beauty products set them apart from cheaper drugstore counterparts. *High concentrations of quality active ingredients vs inactive cheap fillers or harmful chemicals. *Quality active ingredients are listed first as ingredients are always listed in descending order, starting with the largest amount. *Higher concentration of active ingredients means less product is needed for each use. *Organic, clean products without chemical preservatives have an earlier expiration date. A long shelf life usually indicates fillers and harsh chemical preservatives.

The Role of your Dental Hygenist
Did you know that a healthy mouth is an important part in keeping us healthy? A dental hygienist plays a very important role in looking after our teeth. Periodontal (gum) disease may increase your risk of serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke and is the leading cause of tooth loss for adults. The signs of gum disease may include bleeding or swollen gums. A dental hygienist works with you to help keep your mouth healthy and to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Today, dental hygienists work on your schedule including evenings and weekends making it easy for you to maintain your oral health.
