Value of the Voice and Frequency Medicine for Two Persons with Parkinson’s: Judith and Bianca

The effect of Parkinson’s on the voice has been in the news spotlight recently due to Linda Ronstadt’s recent revelation of her diagnosis of PD and her report that she can no longer sing. It is devastating for anyone, let alone a professional singer, to lose her voice. But does it have to happen? Join sound healer and voice expert Judith Kahealani Lynne as she shares some helpful tips on how to keep your voice active, audible and alive.

She is joined by Bianca Molle, author and wellness coach, and they’ll tell us about the Healing Holiday in Hawaii for PWPs and Friends, planned for January, 2014 in Kona, Hawaii. Open and receive the  gifts offered by the healing frequencies of this tropical Paradise. Supported by nourishing, organic, local foods and a restful environment, we will allow the island to work her healing magic on body/mind/heart/soul. We sill visit and do ceremony at sacred sites, learn the graceful movements of the hula, establish a regular qigong and toning practice, and commune with wild dolphins and humpback whales. This promises to be a life-changing experience.

Judith will also share some exciting news about the release of her DVD on Toning and Vocal Energetics.  Bianca will share the latest news about her book “Reboot and Rejoice”.

A Fresh Perspective on Exercise

It is now well established that exercise is beneficial for the general population. Exercise has all of the same beneficial effects of people with Parkinson’s disease as it does on healthy individuals. In addition, it can help to alleviate some of the negative signs and symptoms of the disease such as bradykinesia. It can also reduce the positive signs such as tremor.

Taming Your Gremlin

The show today airs a terrifically informative and practical interview done with Rick Carson, author of Taming Your Gremlin:  A Surprisingly Simple Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way and a delightful woman named Debi Eger who began having symptoms in 2001 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2005.  Debi has used Carson’s Gremlin-Taming Method to manage the internal turmoil, emotional angst, and identity confusion that comes with the territory of living with Parkinson’s.

Ms. Eger and Carson describe in simple terms how the exceedingly practical Gremlin-Taming Method can lead to inner peace even in the midst of outrageously difficult circumstances.  Taming Your Gremlin is available as both a HarperCollins book and as an audio version via CD or download wherever books and audio are sold.  For more information on Gremlin-Taming and Rick Carson’s work, visit www.tamingyourgremlin.com.

Is Full Recovery Possible? Here is What Bianca Molle Has to Say

 

Bianca Molle, M.Ed., spent over twenty-five years in both Special Education and Regular Ed., as well as parenting an autistic child. Fortunately, this background likely helped prepare her for the patience, dedication, and persistence necessary to heal herself herself from Parkinson’s  Disease energetically using the body/mind method of qigong. Bianca is now totally recovered and happy to share her story, reflections, and method. Come hear a discussion between herself and Master Mingtong Gu, the man who taught her the practice.

Foot Whispering

Randy Eady, M.Ed, former professor and therapeutic counselor in Behavioral Sciences and Leadership at the USAF Academy, Colorado is otherwise known as the foot whisperer. He has been using (and inventing) a variety of simple, affordable foot-focused tools successfully with clients, including renowned author, new-thought leader and wellness guru, Louise Hay for several years.  He says, “This approach is ideally suited to address movement and balance challenge conditions for people suffering a variety of symptoms or simply wanting to maintain or improve movement confidence.”

Randy is one of the featured speakers at the 2013 Parkinsons Recovery Summit in Santa Fe February 21st-24th. He will show how to apply an innovative “off-label” use of Far InfraRed delivered to the feet to help with circulation, neuropathy, toe-curling/muscle-cramping and will showcase a simple to use movement transcendence tool for balance, core strength and flow that helps frozen shoulders, lordosis, stenosis and other spine conditions, as well as improving range-of-motion and opening the pelvis/enhancing 3-D diaphragm expansion for better breathing, balance and cross-body coordination!

BioAcoustics

Over the past 30 years Sharry Edwards has pioneered a fascinating technology known as Bioacoustics. She uses a 30 second recording of your voice to diagnose the imbalances that are currently present. For example, are your symptoms caused in part by a deficiency in vitamin D3 or zinc or a defect in a specific gene or eating GMO foods? There are so many possibilities that it becomes overwhelming for everyone.

How does she do this? Each aspect of the body (whether it is an organ, vitamin, mineral, gene or whatever) emits a specific frequency. The presence of absence of these frequencies are identified using her vocal profiling technology. Her approach cuts to the quick by identifying which imbalances in the body may be contributing to neurological symptoms.

Sharry sponsors a regular “Happy Hour” where you can call in an get a quick and dirty assessment. Information is on her website.
